[00:00] ill be back smoke time [00:00] hi, i've upgraded to 12.10 and the left mouse click is not working (nor tapping) on things like buttons but it works on others like the unity panel or close, minimize, buttons. Any ideas to what may be cuasing this? [00:00] SolarisB1y: So anyway now when I boot from recovery it goes instant black screen. yay. [00:01] binBlob: I would not do it the way you are trying but I believe grub can handle this from what i'm seeing online. [00:01] zen_monkey, try holding the LMB for a half second or so before releasing [00:01] can we all agree that ubuntu runs on magic [00:01] please [00:02] quibble, if you say so ;)) [00:02] quibble: what was your initial problem? [00:03] ObrienDave: does the same, changes it's icon to the "draging" hand but doesn't click [00:03] where does wine install to in ubuntu? [00:03] home/.wine? [00:03] knivez: it installs your stuff under there yes [00:03] histo: I am getting black screened when entering boot mode or recovery-->proceed with normal boot. I am attempting to get OUT of tty mode. startx doesnt work, lightdm black screened me, gdm is too old. alt+ctrl+f7 also doesn't work. [00:03] you should have like a drive_c folder under that location that starts to look like "windoze" [00:03] quibble: when did this start? [00:03] knivez: ^ [00:04] histo: last monday. I pressed ctrl+alt+f12 accidentally, got kinda mad, and then just spammed every possible function+ctrl+alt+shift combination. [00:04] SolarisB1y: Is there a quick/easy way to manually mount it? I have to leave momentarily and I'd like to kick off a backup before I go. [00:04] zen_monkey, how old is the mouse? [00:04] quibble: Did you perhaps install any updates pervious to this? also which video chipset are you using and which drivers for said chipset? [00:05] puff: sure - do you know the filesystem on that drive? really it shouldn't matter mount will try and figure it out best it can - it only matters if it cant figure it out [00:05] puff: mount /dev/drive /path/to/mount [00:05] /dev/sdb, I partitioend it as ntfs. [00:05] puff: ensure /path/to/mount exists [00:05] SolarisB1y: Oh, okay, that's pretty eay :-). [00:05] puff: so assuming you have ntfs-3g installed have at it [00:05] histo: please excuse my ignorance, but i don't know what a lot of these words mean. As far as updates, I used linux in the "normal" functioning screen for about 2 months? i dont know what a chipset is but looking on my computer i dont see a nvidia [00:06] puff: if not install ntfs-3g - then have at it [00:06] quibble: lspci | grep VGA [00:06] puff: ahh and prefix with sudo ofcourse [00:06] brb [00:06] zen_monkey, how old is the mouse? [00:06] histo: I do not have access to somewhere that I can write- I am going to try recovery mode--> root filesystem [00:07] histo: That gives me somewhere i can write, but claims it's in read-only mode so it doesnt work, but ill try it again. [00:07] SolarisB1y: Odd... gparted says it's /dev/sdb and the partition is /dev/sdb1. But /dev only contains /dev/sda* [00:07] quibble: try that if not try booting with the kernel option nomodeset. What you are explaining happened doesn't quite make sense. Switching to tty would not break X permanently [00:07] !nomodeset | quibble [00:07] quibble: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [00:07] ObrienDave: it's a touchpad and it's new and working fine, in case you're considering hardware failure :D [00:08] histo: ubottu: I am going to try this and brb [00:08] SolarisB1y: So trying to mount gets me: mount: special device /dev/sdb1 does not exist === mike_ is now known as Guest94860 [00:08] zen_monkey, no, i'm considering that the left button is dirty or going bad. [00:08] quibble: I'd assume that you issue is a video driver issue where X is failing to load. You should have a /var/log/X.*.log which will have some EE or error lines in it to show you whats going on. [00:09] ObrienDave: for sure not the case, worked like a charm before upgrading (alas 12.04) [00:09] histo: please lead me there from the recovery menu [00:10] SolarisB1y: Hm, and now gparted *doesn't* see it (after exiting and restarting gparted). [00:10] zen_monkey, ok, i've heard similar issues before when upgrading. [00:10] SolarisB1y: Ah, restarted it and now it works. [00:11] QUICK QUESTION: Can I have more than one repository in one apt-add-repository command? [00:11] quibble: well boot in recovery mode like you have been doing. When you get to a # prompt grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:11] E.g.: Would "sudo apt-add-repository ppa:ppa1/ppa ppa:ppa2/ppa" work? [00:11] quibble: or less /var/log/Xorg.0.log and scroll through that file looking for errors. You may have to look at /var/log/Xorg.1.log [00:12] rcmaehl, not sure, try it :)) [00:12] histo: "no such file or directory" [00:12] ObrienDave, I only need to add one ppa for now, I don't know of any others [00:12] histo: I am using a # that says before it- "root@johncomp:~#" [00:13] john is the username* [00:13] If I have an LVM partition in /dev/sda4 and the subpartitions are in /dev/sda5, /dev/sda6, etc, and I do a dd backup of /dev/sda4, does that copy all of the subpartitions? [00:13] rcmaehl: doens't appear so according to the man page [00:13] quibble: okay less /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:13] rcmaehl: no, you can't, it errors if you supply more than one [00:13] darn [00:14] rcmaehl, you can separate comands with && and add multiple PPAs in one line. but I don't think that is what you're after :) [00:14] Nope [00:14] *commands even ;) [00:14] rcmaehl: why not just run two add-apt-repository commands? [00:15] histo: I tried "grep EE...../var....log" and it says "[100.564] II loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER" next line- "[199.917] (EE) open /dev/fb0: No such file or directory [00:15] I'm making a script for when I install ubuntu on a new pc. I wanted to be able to do Repositories=$Repositories" ppa:ppa1/ppa" [00:15] histo: what exactly do I type? Can you put it in quotes? I am using the root filesystem, btw. [00:15] quibble: that's the only errors? [00:15] histo: It appears so. [00:15] The script has parameters for what I want to install [00:15] quibble: "less /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [00:15] ty [00:16] so if I wanted to install things that had ppas, it would auto add them, but I'll just handle it with boolean statements [00:16] histo: oh, mother of.... [00:16] rcmaehl: for i in blah.... [00:16] quibble: "GG" to get to the bottom and scroll up from there [00:17] histo: There are things with (--) preceding, (**) preceding, and (II) preceding them. should i only be looking for (EE)? [00:17] quibble: or you can "grep -i error /var/log/Xorg.0.log [00:17] I have been trying to get ubuntu up and running for quite a while now. The main issue I am having is that my keyboard is not detected at all under the OS, or on the live cd. Im also pretty sure it's not receiving power. Any tips? [00:18] also (WW) [00:18] quibble: yes the lines that are important should be (EE) and you may see something like "no screens found" [00:18] quibble: ww is warning EE is error [00:18] I believe II is info lines [00:19] Hi, win7 has the option to boot from a virtual drive (vhd), there is a commercial software (vboot) that apparently does the same for linux machines. I looks like it is achiving this with grub2. Do you guys know how they did that ? [00:19] histo: the "open /dev/fbo: no such file or directory" is still here. I will keep looking. there is a lot of stuff that I've never seen before [00:20] binBlob: I believe the kernel needs to be compiled with support for vhd [00:20] histo: there is no "no screen found" error, [00:20] binBlob: please ask in grub's channel or in #linux [00:20] but i will try the other command. [00:20] histo: how do I get to somewhere I can type? [00:21] ohh wrong channel [00:21] Anyone have any suggestions for my keyboard? [00:21] quibble: ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 are ttys you can type in [00:21] Gmax: Does the keyboard work in the bios? [00:21] Yes [00:21] And in windows [00:21] histo: I am at where it says "(END)" in a white box at the bottom, the ctrl+alt+f12 are non working [00:21] Gmax, what keyboard is it? [00:21] histo* f1-6** [00:22] Its a sharkoon tactix [00:22] quibble: the Function keys at the top not f1 F1 [00:23] Gmax: no idea what that is. How is it interfaced usb or ps/2? [00:23] Gmax, when you installed Ubuntu, did you try the keyboard detection, or just use the defaults? [00:23] histo: If it's any consolation, when i press f2-f6 it brings me to a blinking underscore, and yes-sorry-- i meant to capitalize the f1etc's [00:23] Usb [00:23] I just sued defaults, My keyboard isnt receiving power at all [00:23] It doent work in any other linux distro I tried either [00:24] histo [00:24] quibble: yes? [00:24] Gmax, do you have a USB mouse? does it work? [00:24] Perhaps ubuntu isn't handling the keyboard power correctly? [00:24] Yes, my usb mouse works [00:24] histo: update- i can bring it out of the error list into typing by pressing ZZ [00:24] Gmax: different USB port? [00:24] Tried [00:25] quibble: Oh you wanted to exit less... You can use q to exit [00:25] quibble: anyhoot lspci | grep VGA [00:25] It may be an issue with my board or keyboard [00:25] quibble: "lspci | grep VGA" [00:25] If it helps my mobo is an Asus M5a99x Evo r2 [00:26] Gmax: It's not an issue if you say it works in the bios and windows [00:26] Ok. [00:26] Anyone else having problems with Cairo Dock? I installed it just fine but anytime I put an app on the bar the icon colors are all screwed up. [00:27] If I ever get my hands on another keyboard I could try that] [00:27] Hopefully that works [00:27] histo: You know too much. Here's the info: VGA compatible controller: Intel corporation 2nd generation core processor family integrated graphics controller (rev 09), and VGA compatible controllre: NVIDIA corporation GF108 [GeForce GT 540M] (rev a1) [00:28] quibble: ahh you have that dual vga thing. [00:28] how do you input a space into terminal? [00:28] like a folder with a space in its name [00:28] knivez: \ [00:29] ObrienDave: so, ideas of what could be? a corrupted mouse config? hardware isn't the casue [00:29] knivez, enclose it with quotes. [00:29] cause* [00:29] quibble: did you ever mess with video drivers previously? [00:29] knivez, such as "My Documents" [00:29] ty [00:30] zen_monkey, sorry, out of ideas on that one [00:30] knivez:\ escape\ the\ spaces\ "or use double quotes" [00:30] histo: not that i can remember, but when I originally had the computer it had windows, and the windows became somehow glitchy or corrupted and wiped the hard drive [00:30] ObrienDave: it's like the pointer remains locked to the windows related actions [00:30] histo: so i got linux [00:30] quibble: what version of ubuntu are you running? [00:31] histo: x64 bit, one of the newer ones... is there code to find out? [00:31] histo: i got it within 2-3 months [00:31] zen_monkey, try setting that option in windows, that's how I have to enable and disable the touchpad [00:31] quibble: "cat /etc/issue" or "lsb_release -a" [00:31] Iv'e got about 4 10.04 LTS discs on my desk ;) Official ones too. [00:32] ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS codename: precise [00:32] Anyways, Imma go into my Uefi and screw around until my keyboard works :/ [00:32] histo: (above message) also, "no LSB modules are available" [00:33] quibble: so if you try normal booting you just receive a black screen? What if after awhile you hit ctrl+alt+F1 can you get to TTY? [00:34] histo: I will try normal booting [00:35] sir, how to see our speed connection in ubuntu using command prompt?

[01:38] I tried an older nvidia card (I can't remember the model) and I also tried a AMD FirePro and a Nvidia GTX260 and they all produce the same problem [01:38] http://pastebin.com/7E17d3tR Segfault in Ubuntu Software Center. Anyone have a clue as to why this might be occurring? [01:40] FrozenFire: try a sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade from the commandline and see if it still happens === Yuki is now known as Guest25167 [01:41] hello all! I need help with a simple pptp setup.. the server is up an running through Webmin I can see the client connects but on the client side it does not connect.."connection could not be established" [01:41] any hint? [01:42] fachex: hint [01:42] ! pptp [01:42] any idea? [01:42] fachex: hint #1 - don't use webmin. see "/msg ubottu webmin" for details [01:42] ok [01:42] still it seems like the pptp is working [01:42] but clients cannot connect [01:43] this is not very hard as far as I can tell [01:43] very simple setup [01:43] firewall rules? perhaps [01:43] firewall is off [01:43] if I go to canyouseeme.org [01:43] dr_willis, Nothing relevant to update. [01:43] I can see the port open [01:43] 1723 [01:43] the server is ok [01:44] i can see the client connecting and when trying to authenticate, it's like it cannot do it. === l057c0d3r_ is now known as l057c0d3r [01:44] hello guys [01:44] what is diferrent between bit and byte? [01:44] can anyone help me with ubuntu? [01:45] rb-new: a factor of 8 [01:45] testing-ubuntu, just ask your question [01:45] rb-new, 1 byte = 8 bits [01:45] rb-new: 8x [01:46] rb-new: but you didn't ask about a nibble ;) [01:46] 4 bits [01:46] Ari-Yang, can I use ccleaner with ubuntu? [01:46] *shrugs* [01:46] testing-ubuntu: there is no reason to try [01:47] [value][value][value][value][value][value][value][value] <==8bit ,what is inside of value? [01:47] rb-new: a 0 or 1.. a bit === zero is now known as Guest83196 [01:47] seronis, why is there no reason? [01:47] I want to improve my system [01:48] that's a good reason for me [01:48] do or do not there is no try [01:48] i don't understand it [01:48] testing-ubuntu, its because ccleaner does not have the same effects [01:48] there is no registry to clean... [01:48] !ot | rb-new you're still way off topic [01:48] rb-new you're still way off topic: #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! [01:49] rb-new: each 'bit' is a binary number. 0 or 1.. put them together to represent increasingly larger values [01:49] sir, can give analogy? 8bits, ,what is inside ? [01:49] l05 [01:49] l057c0d3r, I see [01:49] rb-new: take this elsewhere. This is not the place to ask these questions [01:49] rb-new: its no different than decimal numbers.. in decimal each 'bit' just has 10 values.. once you max a value out you need another digit to represent the next value [01:49] testing-ubuntu, and most temp files are cleared every reboot.. [01:49] rb-new: #ubuntu isn't for homework questions, it's for ubuntu support only [01:49] How can I grep through all my .txt document for a 5 character numeric string [01:49] yes I know I'll get a ton of matches [01:49] delinquentme: are they all in one dir? [01:50] rb-new: 0 1..9 10 11 ... or in binary 0 1 10 11 100 101 [01:50] now catches and other things form programs like firefox ext.. are saved in the /home/~username~ area [01:50] delinquentme: "grep -r foooo *.txt" perhaps? [01:50] somsip, all within my ~/ dir [01:50] rb-new: in binary you just have less valid symbols per digit thus you increase number of digits faster for the same value range [01:50] rb-new: anything else ? [01:50] zykotick9, i dont know what the numerals are though [01:50] delinquentme: you might want "grep -ri foooo" to ignore case [01:51] delinquentme: ahhh, you need a regular expression, i don't that the foggiest in that case. good luck. [01:51] zykotick9, I need to search for a 5-set of numerals which I dont know what the numerals are ... just that they're grouped in a set of 5 === gillian is now known as lucyinthesky [01:51] delinquentme: use a regex [01:52] delinquentme: grep -ri '\[0-9]\{5\}' *.txt [01:53] thx,seronis [01:53] delinquentme: that regex is wrong. I'll leave it as an exercise for you to find the missing character :) === smw_ is now known as smw [01:59] somsip.. missing.. i thought it was a misplaced character :-p === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [02:02] somsip, just tried it out w a moc document ... didnt match an asdf.txt doc with 5 numerals inside it [02:02] I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 or 13.04 (server - amd64) and I when I boot the CD all I am getting is green and orange bars.. Any ideas? I have tried nomodeset. I have also tried switching video cards (I tried an older Nvidia ~9800, Nvidia GTX 260, and a older AMD Firepro card) [02:04] what will the next lts be? [02:05] can someone help me out with Zentyal/samba? [02:05] llts is like every 2 years i belive, [02:06] what's the expected delay/implementation time for bugs that have fixes in place.. when would it appear in software updates? specifically https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xfce4-session/+bug/1104435 [02:06] Launchpad bug 1104435 in xfce4-session (Ubuntu Raring) "xfce4-session crashed with SIGSEGV in g_slice_alloc()" [Undecided,In progress] [02:06] why is firefox super slow on 13.04 compared to chromium? [02:06] WcktKlwn: when you do a server install can you even see or get to the GRUB menu? [02:06] shadykhan: cant say ive noticed any real differance btrween the 2. [02:06] dr_willis: counting from the last refresh aka 12.04.2? so that would be feb '15 [02:07] woshty: 14.04 i belive [02:07] 12+2=14 [02:07] dr_willis, in firefox i have to wait about 2 seconds for a page to load and i feel a lag in chromium i dont [02:07] l057c0d3r: maybe it is. I just copied and adapted, which is what the OP can also do [02:07] somsip, heh right [02:08] dr_willis: the CD spins up and and I get the install menu (Install, expert install.. etc) and I tried all the install options, and they all produce the same outcome [02:08] shadykhan, i've always thought that chromium was just a bit snappier then firefox... but never noticed a huge difference in them [02:08] WcktKlwn: so the INSTALLER disk is whats getting you a black screen. you cant even install.. Interesting.. [02:08] i dont mind using chromium i just hate its inspect element i hate developing on it [02:09] shadykhan, it also depends on how many plug-ins and extensions you have install in each browser [02:09] dr_willis: thx, and should generally be easier to upgrade from 04 to 10 then a full main version? [02:09] woshty: you upgade from LTS to LTS , OR upgrade from onelreasse to t he next.. [02:09] ObrienDave, i have 2 plugins installed in my firefox [02:09] i always stay on the latest release.. i dont have any need for sticking to LTS only [02:09] well .....? [02:10] dr_willis: i am on slightly "complicated" hardware .. and upgrading seems to be an issue in some cases. [02:10] woshty: i always tend to do clean instaalls.. i rarely upgrade [02:10] hello. Can somebody tell me how to remove the ubuntu one cloud icon? [02:11] I'm on 12.10, and don't think I'll bother upgrading to 13.04 [02:11] deckard: in the left side panel? right click, unpin you mean? [02:11] i myself.. always just upgrade.. seems to work well.. only time i've ever had problems was when using the prereleased updates... [02:11] deckard, you do that through the main menu editor [02:11] broke half my stuff in one update [02:12] i right click there is no option to remove [02:12] i beta test to much stuff.. i clean install to remove all the old cruft i always add in [02:12] dr_willis: really, like with windoze? I am usually using debian and having installs that are ancient in origin, but that ubuntu version i am using is really nice and installing debian on that device seemed alot more time consuming [02:12] i cant access main menu editor with unnity [02:13] deckard, that's why i run Xubuntu ;) [02:13] ubuntu might take me an hr to reinstall and get back to where i am at.. windows - can take days.... [02:13] i want to ask [02:13] i use xubuntu as well, i still need it gone for ubuntu [02:13] deckard: you mean from the left side panel or the top right indicator-applet? [02:14] you could just Uninstall the ubuntu one packages [02:14] right side status bar [02:14] i was told that is risky [02:14] thats the inticator applet [02:14] are you sure? [02:14] naww [02:14] askubuntu.com i imagine tells how to remove it, or disable it [02:14] i wanted to just uninstall all the ubuntu one stuff from software manager, i was told it could be risky [02:14] naww [02:14] 1 byte=8bit; 1 byte =[][][][][][][][] ; a='97' ;97=100001, is true if 1byte=[][][1][0][0][0][0][1] ...?? [02:14] okay ill do it [02:15] hope you are right haha [02:15] last i looked.. ubuntu one wasent really instgalled by default.. but when it was first selected.. it then insstalled ubuntu one stuff [02:15] is that true sir?

Go elsewhere. This is for ubunut support only [02:16] wikipedia bits and bytes ;) [02:16] Raring Unity Dash search doesnt find the files I want always. Can I improve the search somehow? Should I just be grepping always? [02:17] deckard.. after uninstalling it from software center.. might want to run a sudo aot-get autoremove [02:17] err apt-get [02:18] to remove any left over packages that may be there === paul__ is now known as CrypticByte [02:19] I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 or 13.04 (server - amd64) and I when I boot the CD all I am getting is green and orange bars.. Any ideas? I have tried nomodeset. I have also tried switching video cards (I tried an older Nvidia ~9800, Nvidia GTX 260, and a older AMD Firepro card) [02:19] Can anyone recommend a high quality VNC viewer. The one I'm using is crap. [02:20] I uninstalled ubuntu one and the cloud icon is still top right taskbar, any other ideas? [02:20] deckard: kill the indicator-applet process for it perhaps [02:20] reboot [02:20] ill try [02:20] or loglut/back in [02:20] i dont even know what its called [02:20] 'do, or do not, there is no try' [02:21] ps ax | grep ubuntu [02:21] perhaps..... [02:21] why are you so worried about it / [02:21] i'm running ubuntu 12.10 (haven't upgraded or migrated from wubi yet). can i remove all packages related to kde and be fine? or are there things for ubuntu that require kde packages? [02:21] i dont like it, i dont use it, i dont want it [02:21] im amazed its this difficult to remove [02:21] Biomechd: if you reinstall the 'ubuntu-desktop' package it will be sure all the ubuntu stiff is there. [02:22] deckard: last i looked.. it did not install ubuntu one, untill you accessed it the first time [02:22] if the process was running, and you uninstalled it.. its still running in ram untill you reboot/log in/out [02:22] yes that seems right, and now i removed all traces of ubuntu one from software manager and its still shows [02:22] i rebooted to [02:22] so kill the process, or reboot [02:22] did reboot, not sure what the process is called [02:22] or chek askubuntu.com to see if theres somthing we mussed [02:23] looking [02:23] ok [02:23] ps ax | grep ubuntu [02:23] may show it [02:23] dont see it, but ty [02:23] oh thats a command [02:23] im a noob [02:23] there is the #ubuntu-one channel also [02:23] ty [02:23] and you are worrying about trivial things. ;) [02:23] ubuntu one is very handy [02:24] invite only channel [02:24] * dr_willis must have 4+ differnt cloud storage things going on [02:24] i dont save things that would need backing up [02:24] more likely its a Rrgiestered nick only channel [02:24] store your wallpaper there. ;) [02:24] man what a pain in the ass [02:24] lol [02:25] i keep my user configs backed up to ubuntu one, so i can have the same settings on all my pcss [02:25] i see ubuntuone-syncdaemon. kill it? [02:25] dr_willis: i've marked kdelibs5-plugins for complete removal and then started marking other stuff for complete removal and they all things marked turned red. [02:25] and my po..err.. landscape wallpapers [02:25] lol [02:25] dr_willis: huge tracts of land? [02:26] mounds and valleys galore [02:26] >.> [02:26] hehe [02:26] between ubuntu one, google drive, dropbox, copy.com and err.. some others.. i must have 90gb orf storage [02:26] sounds like me... [02:26] nobody cares about your massive porn libraries. [02:26] have pictures saved on one [02:26] configs on another [02:26] i just ssh'd into a system that has a running emacs process. is there a tool that will allow me to 'take' it over? [02:27] music spread out on three others... [02:27] amazon cloud is neat in how i can play muzak straight from it. [02:28] Ubuntu could really really leverage their cloud storage feature better... its sort of an afterthought right now. ;( [02:28] dr_willis: should i be concerned that this stuff is turning red when i mark it for complete removal? [02:28] Can anyone recommend a high quality VNC viewer? The one I'm using is crap. [02:28] lizzin_: only if it was started in a way to allow this AIUI [02:28] Biomechd: no idea. i rarely uninstall stuff. ;) [02:28] !puregnome [02:28] If you want to remove all !Kubuntu packages or !Xubuntu packages and have a default !Ubuntu system, follow the instructions here: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [02:29] i'm just trying to clear up space. [02:29] Aspire-Revo-User: search the packavge manager to see what other one are in the repos.. or it could be your vncserver settings [02:29] since i'm not running kubuntu, i see no need to have kde stuff installed. [02:29] somsip: how could i have started it in a way that would allow this? [02:29] and how much space do you have total Biomechd ? [02:30] yeah i can connect perfectly from my android vnc server. Linux vnc viewer is the problem. [02:30] lizzin_: running it in a terminal multiplexer (?) like screen, tmux or byobu will do it. I believe that nohup might allow you to do something too, but I'll leave that to you to investigate [02:31] it's an 8gb install, i think. free space is... holy crap. 491.2mb. [02:31] Biomechd: watch out for extra kernels, and your apt cache [02:31] ive seen my apt cache be 2+gb in size [02:31] Biomechd: locales too [02:31] and the /var/log stuff [02:31] Okay, when i kill ubuntuone-syncdaemon the cloud icon goes away, but it comes back after reboot. What can i do? [02:31] 8gb is tiny tiny... 16gb is useable. ;) but barely [02:31] somsip: ok thanks [02:32] lizzin_: np [02:32] !find ubuntuone-syncdaemon [02:32] File ubuntuone-syncdaemon found in ubuntuone-client [02:32] deckard: remive the ubuntuone-client package perhaps? [02:32] which i would think you said you allready removed. ;) [02:32] so sudo apt-get remove ubuntuone-client? [02:32] just a day or two ago i had like 1.7gb free. it's these damn updates that take up several megabytes at per update session.

[02:34] i will lean but i want to at my own pace [02:34] deckard: use the package manager and remove the 'ubuntuone-client ' package [02:35] trying ty [02:35] bbl [02:35] is that in software and updates? [02:35] deckard, sudo apt-get purge ubuntuone-client [02:36] lizzin_: try this http://is.gd/gnd62i [02:36] ty ObrienDave trying [02:37] somsip: that looks really promising. tahnks [02:37] lizzin_: np. It means an install from github for reptyr but could be useful [02:40] hi guys, how can i make xdg-open handle magnet links properly? [02:40] i'm on 12.04 [02:43] A Priest a Rabbi and a Minister are on a ship that starts to sink. In the scramble to the lifeboats, the religious leaders push everyone out of the way. One of the women they pushed out of the way yells, "What about the children?" [02:43] The minister said "Screw the kids." [02:43] The Priest looks conflicted and asks "Do we have time?"

[02:54] Biomechd: more importantly is the shebang at the top than the extension [02:54] yes it worked very well, thank you ObrienDave [02:54] no prob [02:54] Biomechd: .sh but can be anything [02:54] Biomechd: as such bash scripts usually end in .sh but i have seen .bash and also no . extension is common [02:55] SolarisB1y: no extension is bad practise, only binaries should not have an extension [02:55] Any experts here [02:55] ?

Good luck [02:57] smw: Because I have a file of subdirectories that need to be created. [02:58] SolarisB1y: it's supposed to remove all but the latest packages.

[02:59] thanks ObrienDave [03:00] Biomechd: reading that link it says autoclean does the very same.. but if you want to use the script fine - save it as a file of any name and make it executable - [03:00] dick, start here: http://www.compholio.com/ [03:00] Biomechd: and make sure it exists in $PATH if you plan to run it like a normal command [03:00] dick, you'll have to add the compholio PPA [03:01] dick, give me a minute [03:01] Hey, I was wondering if someone wants to help me setup a mail server [03:02] ObrienDave, i'm not very smart [03:02] ive tried multiple tutorials... Im really tired of messing up :P [03:02] aaomidi: why do you need a mail server? [03:02] Well I host multiple websites and 2 servers. [03:02] Game servers* [03:02] dick, here's the PPA info: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ehoover_compholio_netflix [03:02] And i need email for registration and other stuffs :P [03:03] aaomidi: ok [03:03] aaomidi: Do you want a big solution, or something small and simple? [03:03] What I really need is a mysql based mail server. [03:03] Big solution LOL ive tried lots of tutorials. [03:03] aaomidi: why do you need a database backed solution? [03:03] Ended up purging everything I installed. [03:04] dick, open a terminal.... [03:04] aaomidi: just want to know before i suggest something. [03:04] SolarisB1y: Since I need multiple users and a website sign up possiblity. [03:04] Its okay :) [03:04] Hi. I would like to ask. how do I add job into crontab successfully? I tried */1**** php5 /var/www/autoresponders.php > /dev/null 2>&1 and also edited crontab -e.. but non of them works... [03:04] i can delete my /home/.cache folder without issue, right? [03:04] aaomidi: a decent MTA will queue and manage that itself. Do you need other persistent baclkup for a reason? [03:04] ObrienDave, thanks man i'll try to fig [03:04] aaomidi: you may be able to still use virtual users and no DB backend with postfix or sendmail - but i understand [03:04] it's taking up 1.8gb. [03:04] dick, copy and paste these lines... sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ehoover/compholio [03:05] or like somsip said =) [03:05] Well, im gonna prob use cross platforms stuff, and having a sql backend (just for users and domains and aliases) would be nice. [03:05] dick, copy and paste these lines... sudo apt-get update [03:05] aaomidi: postfix and sendmail support virt users and domains btw [03:05] Hi. I would like to ask. how do I add job into crontab successfully? I tried */1**** php5 /var/www/autoresponders.php > /dev/null 2>&1 and also edited crontab -e.. but non of them works... [03:05] ObrienDave: are you the great compholio? do you need tp for your bunghole? [03:05] Oh, well I just need something that can store the domain and users in a sql database [03:05] i favor postfix - i think there are some DB backend plugins if i recall correctly [03:05] dick, copy and paste these lines... sudo apt-get install netflix-desktop [03:06] aaomidi: ok - I was trying to lead you to a simple solution, but you might need something more monstrous [03:06] Yeah :/ [03:06] agree with somsip i was trying to go that route also - try postfix aaomidi [03:06] ObrienDave, ok keep going and i will scroll up and down till i find the entries [03:06] Do you guys have a good tutorial I can follow? [03:07] dick, that's all it takes. just those 3 lines [03:07] well aaomidi it sounds like not only are you sending mail your hosting boxes correct? [03:07] Yes. [03:07] aaomidi: I did once get postfix working. Not sure how. Nowadays I use remailers, and msmtp for very small solutions [03:07] if so that entails more than one daemon your setting up in most cases for the record unless you go wth a huge solution like Zimbra or something [03:08] zimbra however uses postfix for mail server - and postfix setup is pretty extensible [03:08] I would've used Zimbra... [03:08] But im on Debian 7 [03:08] you may look at cyrrus i beleive the name is to hold your app users within the DB [03:08] aaomidi: ^^ [03:08] i might go for msmtp [03:09] flex or haxe? [03:09] I can manage something with that. [03:09] postfix is a pain to setup with virtual mail and domain. [03:09] not really lol [03:09] aaomidi: it is very simple. I route mine through a Google Apps account and it all looks nice on delivery [03:09] Hi, I am having bash issues [03:09] ObrienDave, there is a problem with the first line [03:09] but my comparison point is sendmail... [03:09] will i break anything if i delete my .cache in my /home/ folder? it's taking up 1.8gb and i'd really like to have that space if i can. [03:09] I received this output: -bash: syntax error near unexpected token `(' [03:10] Can anyone please help me? [03:10] hi [03:10] helme pleace [03:10] misterx: you might be better off in #bash [03:10] pinguy: what OS are you running? [03:10] alright I will try [03:10] thanks [03:10] What i've tried to do is setup postfix with dovecot. [03:10] For IMAP+SMTP [03:10] dovecot is pretty simple [03:11] postfix is a basic setup if you follow the ncurses prompting - did you have a issue aaomidi ? [03:11] dick, no, that's the correct line. copy and paste from the PPA webpage [03:11] pinguy os [03:11] !pinguy | pinguy [03:11] i am used pyngui os [03:11] YEs [03:11] !unsupported | pinguy [03:11] Ill try again [03:11] YOU WHERE LIVING_ [03:11] Do you guys have a good tutorial for virtual domains with sql?

You need to go to the pinguy support channel. #pinguy perhaps [03:12] >O [03:12] ok [03:12] tanks [03:12] friends [03:12] pinguy: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:12] ObrienDave, where is that ppa webpage i guess? [03:12] ok [03:12] very good [03:12] bye [03:12] dick, here's the PPA info: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ehoover_compholio_netflix [03:12] Do you guys have a good tutorial for virtual domains with sql? [03:12] SO I can follow? [03:13] aaomidi: seems that you can use postmap and the db format mysql:/etc/postfix/filename. So it looks like postfix does this by default [03:13] http://www.postfix.org/mysql_table.5.html [03:13] well not by default - but natively rather [03:13] Oh. [03:14] hi. i just upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 and I seem to have some font issues. my desktop and application fonts don't look the same, they're ugly, some letters/numbers are bigger and not properly spaced. [03:14] Hi. I would like to ask. how do I add job into crontab successfully? I tried */1**** php5 /var/www/autoresponders.php > /dev/null 2>&1 and also edited crontab -e.. but non of them works... [03:14] keanehsiao: add the full path to php5 but it is tricky to see with the formatting of that. Try pastebin [03:14] also I notice that on xchat words are sometimes cut in the middle [03:15] aaomidi: this may be a tad dated http://www.howtoforge.com/virtual_postfix_mysql_quota_courier [03:15] Okay ill try :P [03:15] Also while im here [03:15] keanehsiao: and */1 for the minutes can just be * [03:15] nv [03:15] m [03:15] somsip: ok let me try.. thanks [03:15] tats, try changing font then back again [03:18] ObrienDave, I've tried changing the font using Gnome Tweaks but it doesn't seem to work in my apps. The top menu is changed, but it still doesn't look quite the same as it did. [03:19] is there a ubuntu dvd available that has lots more packages than the default dvd ? [03:21] silv3r_m00n, how many packages do you need? [03:21] like developer tools, additional desktops etc [03:22] I have Universal Access "Large Text" selected, when I remove that it looks a little bit better [03:22] somsip: Hi. I tried it. but cron seems not work… [03:22] silv3r_m00n, only one I can think of is UbuntuStudio. but that is geared for professional artists [03:22] silv3r_m00n: no. but you could create your own. see "/msg ubottu aptoncd" [03:22] keanehsiao: put your cronjob in pastebin so I can see it properly [03:22] Guys [03:22] !pastebin | keanehsiao [03:22] keanehsiao: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic.

[03:23] silv3r_m00n: ages ago there used to be some onofficial ubuntu-extras dvd.. but i havent sseen that mentioned in ages at any sites [03:23] somsip, winelol doesn't have a version for ubuntu 12.10 onward [03:24] rcmaehl: and what version are you on? [03:24] 13.10 [03:24] although ... not quite. could it be that I have some fonts missing? [03:24] rcmaehl: that's beta and not supported here [03:24] 13.04* [03:24] somsip: should I do something like restart?? here is the cronjob : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5715476/ [03:24] derp .-.

[03:25] rcmaehl: without knowing anything about LoL, I've managed to get a page full of search results for 13.04 League of Legends including links to the LoL community. Maybe you should investigate like this yourself [03:25] somsip, I did, they were all in french [03:25] keanehsiao: need spaces between the *****. Eg: * * * * * [03:26] rcmaehl: http://is.gd/XDHQka [03:26] somsip: I actually added space between in crontab -e. but still doesn't work.. [03:27] have a look: http://imagebin.org/259515 [03:27] keanehsiao: that wasnt in your paste. You need to paste what you are using. Can you do it again so I can check [03:27] SolarisB1y: lol that guide [03:27] I've selected Ubuntu 14 as my default font [03:27] is like [03:27] 10 years old [03:27] somsip: here it is http://paste.ubuntu.com/5715480/ [03:28] keanehsiao is that the inside of your crontab??

I want to remove the lines in file 1 that are also in line 2. How is this done? [03:30] echoe: oh, that means I'm editing… the only line inside crontab is : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5715484/ [03:30] just making sure. ohh! i think i remember === newbie is now known as Guest84792 [03:30] hey if i want to run an android emulator inside ubuntu one, can the controls be matched up 1:1 ?

While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ [03:32] somsip: it's a new gist [03:32] Hi, I've got a strange problem with a usb drive (I'm kind of suspecting the drive is broken). Despite reformatting it multiple times, both from the disk utility and from the command line, I can't mount it. The error is: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5715486/ [03:32] somsip: if you means php itself I think yes.. It works with the site. and other php… If you means the /var/www/autoresponders.php I am not so sure.. but looks like others work fine with it. [03:32] or perhaps is there nay way of running google play apps in a secure environment on ubunto one ? [03:33] DrFoo: or man comm [03:33] I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 or 13.04 (server - amd64) and I when I boot the CD all I am getting is green and orange bars.. Any ideas? I have tried nomodeset. I have also tried switching video cards (I tried an older Nvidia ~9800, Nvidia GTX 260, and a older AMD Firepro card) [03:33] keanehsiao: test it. If 'php /var/www/autoresponders.php' does not work, nothing you do in crontab will matter [03:33] somsip: looks good. let me try [03:34] mbrigdan: sdc is a drive, not a partition. try sdc1. === Guest84792 is now known as LuciusSir [03:34] somsip: ok.. let me test it.. [03:34] grahamsavage_: apologies. This looks very similar http://is.gd/fvVsbv [03:34] mbrigdan: also /media/testmount would need to exist beforehand. [03:35] still trying to fix my font problem since my upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04. here's what my system settings look like: the titles are cut for some items: http://imagebin.org/259516 [03:36] somsip: oh thanks for the tip [03:36] hi [03:36] grahamsavage_: np. Just let me know if it helps :) [03:36] can i make terminal semi transparent? [03:37] we6jbo: you might need a non-standard terminal. Like urxvt from memory [03:37] oh [03:37] zykotick9, Well, it was sdc1 before, but since its a flash drive I decided to try without a partition table (sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdc). The mount point does exist already [03:37] i dont know how to do that [03:37] somsip: same issue.. i wonder if it could be something to do with the chinese mirror [03:38] can you force apt to use the US mirror? [03:38] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/9617a202dfcf74c235a3 << log [03:38] we6jbo: actually, what version of ubuntu? [03:38] we6jbo: i'm pretty sure gnome-terminal supports transparancy as well (most terminal emulators do, i doubt xterm does) [03:39] grahamsavage_: I occasionally get out of date with Thai mirrors. Might be worth trying another. Japan or Korea maybe? Faster than US from around here I guess [03:39] zykotick9, I just made a new partition with fdisk, made a new filesystem, then tried again with /dev/sdc1, still no dice [03:39] gnome terminal yea [03:39] somsip: nice! tx! [03:39] DrFoo: it worked? cool [03:39] I am using alien tool which converts .rpm to .deb.

[04:02] anyone upgraded yet? are you guys experiencing crashes? my rig is logging me out when I attempt to start apps :-( [04:02] and how? [04:02] hey, that's okay, unity not working is an improvement [/snark] [04:03] Biomechd: the ones you aren't using are usually safe to remove, but I tend to keep the last fallback or two just to be safe [04:03] tucemiux, upgraded to what? I run 13.04 [04:03] ObrienDave, 13.04, how long has it been since it was released? o.O [04:03] should I just purge my settings [04:03] Is there anywhere that I could see an error log or hint as to why my Ubuntu install infinite reboots and doesn't even show a grub menu or error? I did run the boot repair disc and it claimed to be successful. [04:04] like all the hidden folders and files in my home folder [04:04] tucemiux, what, maybe a month? [04:04] and just pray [04:04] that usually works [04:04] but I'd have to reconfigure everything again === JKL|away is now known as JKL1234- [04:05] ObrienDave, ok now I dont feel so guilty, I thought it was months since it was released o.O [04:05] somsip: there's 3.5.0-31-generic, 3.5.0-28-generic, 3.5.0-30-generic, 3.5.0-27-generic, 3.5.0-19-generic, 3.5.0-18-generic, and 3.2.0-33-generic. how do i know which one i'm running and which ones i should delete?

If you're running *31, you could maybe keep *30 and *29 (for example) and delete the older ones. But you don't habe to [04:07] ObrienDave, aahhh the mystery solved !!! How would I report crashes like mines though? I get logged out after I click on an icon to launch an app o.O [04:07] I just purged my /.config/ folder [04:07] and everything worked [04:07] minus about 5 crash reports [04:07] keep it in your cheat sheet [04:07] you might help someone sooner or later with that 411 [04:07] smoke break. brb [04:08] somsip: it just says "linux". it doesn't tell me the kernel.

[04:11] Biomechd, sudo apt-get purge [04:12] Biomechd: sudo apt-get remove linux-kernelversion [04:12] didnt ubuntu have a built in utility that cleaned up old kernels?? [04:13] tucemiux: I though it did in one version but doesn't look like it anymore [04:13] How do i delete everything? [04:13] fuck you all niggers i'm out [04:13] instead of going folder by folder [04:14] purging didn't get rid of the old kernels in the disk usage analyzer. [04:14] How do i delete everything? [04:15] natsirt, what do you mean by "everything" [04:15] natsirt: that's an extremely vague question. do you want to format your harddrive?

[04:17] yes [04:17] it's not in production [04:17] Biomechd: you could do something like sudo apt-get purge linux-image-3.2.0-{38..41}-generic that will remove all between that range 38-41 etc...

I will move on to fix the php file and get it works.. thanks again.. :) [04:26] natsirt: do you want to securely erase it or just remove stuff? [04:27] natsirt: also may I ask why you want to remove everything? What will you boot? [04:29] I want to securely erase everything [04:29] is their a command? [04:29] or should i just use nuke disc? [04:29] natsirt: boot a live cd and dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/of/harddrive [04:29] DBAN > nuke disc [04:29] natsirt, if you want to secure erase everything I would go for a nuke disc [04:30] natsirt: also I would use bs=1M or something bigger than the default of 512 to increase the speed so: dd bs=100k if=/dev/zero of=/dev/of/harddrive You can find the dev of your hard drive with lsblk [04:31] histo: you are awesome [04:31] you do iptables? [04:31] natsirt: That's all that dban does although it performs multiple passes because of some incorrect statement a person made about data recovery after data being over written way back when. [04:31] natsirt: one pass is sufficient [04:31] awesome [04:32] histo: is it possible to also show used space with lsblk? [04:32] if one pass is suffienent why can I recover data after wiping it? [04:32] one pass is enough for solid statemedia [04:32] IdleOne: doesn't appear so [04:32] solid state media* [04:32] rcmaehl: No you can't [04:32] Does anyone know of a program which shows the output of a HTML/CSS/Javascript in realtime? [04:33] histo: I didn't think so, was looking at man lsblk but wanted to make sure. [04:34] rcmaehl: the statistical possibility of someone even recovering one byte correctly using EFM examining the platter is akin to flipping a coin let alone entire sections of data. [04:35] somsip: how do you change the mirror you are using? [04:35] histo: I dont think there is any open source version [04:35] knivez: What does it do? [04:36] you connect to it and it stores your work in real time [04:36] histo, why the hell does the DoD do 7 passes then [04:36] like a live ftp but for this specific program [04:37] rcmaehl: because of a statement that has been since recanted by someone. The original person that theorized it was possible has been proved wrong and admits it. However the miss information is perpetuated on the net. === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [04:39] rcmaehl: http://www.vidarholen.net/~vidar/overwriting_hard_drive_data.pdf Is a good read if you have the time [04:39] Okay [04:39] Maybe 2001 and new HDDs [04:40] but anything before that needs multiple wipes [04:40] hey does anyone know how to change the apt mirror to the US ones? [04:40] rcmaehl: No it doesn't [04:41] grahamsavage_: edit your /etc/apt/sources.list [04:41] Does anyone know of a program which shows the output of a HTML/CSS/Javascript in realtime?

[04:42] !repeat | A1Recon [04:42] A1Recon: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ [04:42] grahamsavage_: use sed [04:42] histo, low density disks allow for data recover [04:42] A1Recon: can you be more specific? [04:42] recovery [04:42] deleting "wineprefixes" won't hurt anything, will it? i think that's probably the biggest space hog out of all the things i don't need. [04:42] grahamsavage_, hehe, did.. using copy past from that thing you helped me with yesterday [04:42] grahamsavage_: something like cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup && sed -i 's/cn/us/' /etc/apt/sources.list [04:43] it seems to just be game stuff. [04:43] A1Recon: chrome, press Ctrl-Shift C [04:43] is virtualbox the standard virtual server solution? [04:43] rcmaehl: because you aren't securely wiping them. There is a big difference between wiping and deleting === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ [04:43] A1Recon: I can probably help you out with your question since that's mainly what we do, but i'm not sure quite what you mean? do you mean you want to live edit code and see the changes? [04:43] knivez: it's one of many. It's the only one that I'm aware of that is opensource [04:44] ok [04:44] knivez: actually I shouldn't say that it's the only one. It's the one most people use [04:44] Is there problems installing Ubuntu 12.04 or 13.04 from an IDE hard drive? [04:44] what are the x86 binaries for? 64 bit mode? [04:44] grahamsavage_: Yes! Will Geany work?? [04:44] knivez, don't know if it's "standard", but it seems to work well and is fairly popular [04:44] gnuradio on ubuntu 10.04, anyone can give me a little tutorial? [04:44] A1Recon: x86 is 32bit [04:44] knivez: there really isnt a "standard" - qemu/kvm work well and are available via an easy install..support most os' [04:45] A1Recon: wait what are you referring to? [04:45] VirtualBox is a platform independant virutualization application that will produce easily portable virtual machines [04:45] WcktKlwn, no, it should install just fine [04:45] A1Recon: ok option 1, you can just use chrome and try it out in there.. option 2: use jsfiddle.net [04:45] does virtualbox support 64 bit operating systems? [04:45] knivez: yes [04:45] knivez, yes it does [04:45] knivez: yes if your cpu supports hardware virtualization [04:46] im sure it does [04:46] histo: Live editing code and seeing the output/changes as they happen... [04:46] knivez: you can check for the proper cpu flags with cat /proc/cpuinfo [04:46] knivez: even today not *all* cpu's have VT [04:47] grahamsavage_: Do you know how to see the output of my HTML code (in Geany) in Mozilla? [04:47] A1Recon: nope, i don't even know what Geany is [04:47] ObrienDave: It appears to have issues on my computer, I get green and orange bars when I try to boot off a IDE drive, but works fine on a SATA drive. The boot menu is different also [04:48] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ("Precise Pangolin") i386 | AMD64 [04:48] is i386 64 bit intel? [04:49] knivez: AMD64 [04:49] knivez, i386 is 32 bit [04:49] knivez: i386 = 32 bit. x64 is sometimes referred to as AMD64 since they were there first. [04:49] Laptop good for compatability with ubuntu [04:49] xraixed: system76 [04:50] ok [04:50] ?? [04:50] xraixed: system76 makes laptops specifically for Ubuntu. [04:50] xraixed: dell also has some ubuntu based laptops [04:50] I'll 411 that [04:50] well I installed the version of vbox that came with my software center but I dont think its the one I want so I manually downloaded it from their website [04:50] WcktKlwn, is your comp a new one with UEFI? [04:50] how do I instal a .deb file? [04:51] knivez: double click [04:51] knivez: dpkg -i file [04:51] knivez: or dpkg -i somefile.deb [04:51] knivez, open with software center [04:51] knivez, or install Gdebi [04:52] how do I remove software effectivly?

[04:54] vmx? [04:54] its there its hilighted [04:54] vmx or svm (depends on intel vs amd) [04:54] knivez: you are good then [04:55] if i use the software center to remove a pkg will that do a good job [04:55] or does the software center not have sudo? [04:55] sw center is just a graphical front end to apt really [04:55] it does just as good a job as apt-get / dpkg [04:56] hello [04:56] and so is gdebi. pfffffft! [04:56] i hope it uninstalled effectivly because I went ahead and installed the 64 bit version [04:56] You'll find that most tasks have 200 different ways to accomplish the same thing, all equal. Matter of taste really [04:57] http://cdn.howtogeek.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/hard-drive-lights.jpg [04:57] holy crap. i just got myself up to 4.8gb free file space by deleting all the game folders from wineprefixes. [04:57] knivez: No worries.. [04:58] ok I installed it [04:58] how would i run it? [04:58] type virtualbox in terminal? [04:58] I'm trying to configure my MTU, I'm using this command to know the maximum ping -s 1464 -c1 google.com. the problem is that I already reached 2904 and there still isn't data loss, I don't think that is normal, and thus I want to know if thgere's some kind of problem with the command? [04:59] wlan [04:59] MTU isnt going to matter to the internet. [04:59] anybody have a definite soluation for the sound problem following the 13.04 upgrade? [04:59] You're router handles that, and then so does the upstream.. [04:59] coz I've been reading a bunch of forum posts with [solved] but their solution didn't work [04:59] moreover, I noticed that it's taking "0ms" to complete the process [04:59] so even if yours accepts and sends jumbo frames, the upstream will deal with it at its own rate and size. [05:00] !sound | jubei [05:00] jubei: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. [05:00] sweet it works [05:00] MTU is only going to affect you on LAN [05:00] TheKurrgan, why is that? [05:00] histo, .... thanks but the sound worked fine until the 13.04 upgrade. And I lookat all those links [05:00] knivez: you can run headless virtualboxes although the application you were talking about I don't think this is the route you want. [05:00] jubei: pay attention to the troubleshooting link [05:01] wasn't it configure the size of the tcp packed that passes through a TCP/IP network? === dzup is now known as []^ObAmA^[] [05:02] sianhulo: MTU is l2... affects size of data leaving the physical device [05:02] TheKurrgan, then what can I modify to improve my velocity?rwin? [05:03] whats your given bandwidth on your connection? [05:03] 10, 20MBit? [05:03] TheKurrgan, do you means my internet connection? 1mb, so 126kbp/s [05:03] wirless connect? [05:04] tin can and string? ;) [05:04] sianhulo: DSL? [05:04] TheKurrgan, adsl [05:05] so.. my analog outputs are gone and all I get is the nvidia HDMI outputs ... http://codepad.org/g9JpF5Be [05:05] sianhulo: You loose 1/8 of the rated speed to ATM overhead alone, + IP overhead... so if you have a 1Mbit DSL, you'll likely only get about 896KBPS at best any way (all bits per second) [05:06] if you're pulling 126K/Sec you're doing pretty good as it. [05:06] TheKurrgan, no, I ain't having that velocity, most of the time 50kilobytes per second [05:06] histo: why not? [05:07] you dont think that bimx server is a good route to run on a vbox? [05:07] histo: what do you suggest? [05:08] firefox 21,signle tab (google page), ubuntu is 12.04, RAM is 2 GB..........System monitor shows 150 MB memory for firefox....is it okay...????? [05:08] I am installing ubuntu 13.04 on my usb disk, which is going fine ( I think it was last installing the language pack) but it never asked me for the swap partition?? does it do that ? cos I had made a seperate swap partition before starting this exercise === Dat_ is now known as Dat [05:08] sianhulo: DSL is distance and line condition limited... if your far from the RT / CO, or have horrible phone lines, you'll not get what you're max cap is [05:09] what do I do if I don't have an xorg.conf :( [05:09] StarOnD, if you're installing to the entire USB drive it won't ask for a swap. it will just make one usually [05:09] TheKurrgan, so, at the end there's nothing I can do at my side? [05:09] sianhulo: If you have access to your DSL modem's interface, check SNR / Line Attenuation and mode.. LLC/SNAP (FAST) will move full speed of the connection, Interleaved will go way slower. [05:10] sianhulo: No unfortunately you're usually out of luck [05:10] ubuntu should allow you to emulate past versions of ubuntu/packages within itself allowing for packages that haven't been upgraded to run in their own environment [05:10] ObrienDave, hello again : ) , I am installing on one partition of the usb disk,should it have prompted me to select the swap area? [05:10] TheKurrgan, those words are new to me, where should I start?searching information about the modem? [05:11] sianhulo: google your modem make / model [05:11] StarOnD, it wont ask if you used the "erase everything" option at the menu === Inoperabled is now known as Inoperable [05:11] StarOnD, wb ;) [05:11] sianhulo: That is informational only, all of those settings are beyond your control. The only thing you could potentially do is raise the SNR and lower the attenuation. [05:11] anybody knows if there are tablets that have ubuntu preinstalled yet? [05:12] TheKurrgan, OK, I'll start searching. and fwiw I don't have a phone in this house [05:12] sianhulo: it is a wired dsl line right? [05:12] yes [05:13] //join #mnents [05:13] sianhulo: Ok.. its just a dry line then.. DSL only no phone service [05:13] how can i see if ive got memory leaks...? [05:13] TheKurrgan, exactly [05:13] synaptic gave me an error. http://www.pasteall.org/42684 [05:14] TheKurrgan, this is the model http://www.cisco.com/web/consumer/support/modem_DPC2100.html, now that I identified, what should I look for? [05:14] sianhulo: Cheaper, but phone service has no impact on DSL performance.. DSLAM is downstream from the dialtone source.. [05:14] thats a cable modem [05:15] ANub: free -m [05:16] ANub: or use top or a host of other system monitor that you can find in the software center [05:16] TheKurrgan, no, it's a modem, modem 2100 made by cisco [05:17] on a side note, for a channel with 1500+ users, this place is far quieter than I anticipated. [05:17] sianhulo: The link you gave me is for a DOCSIS modem used on Cable providers. [05:17] #Ubuntu-es haven't had a message since we started speaking [05:18] I've not really even used IRC for about 12 years [05:18] guess its just for idlers now [05:18] didn't I send you this? www.cisco.com/web/consumer/support/modem_DPC2100.html [05:18] Does Ubuntu have a 8Baud bulletin board I can connect one of my vintage pcs to?

[05:22] sianhulo: Lost cause, sorry man [05:22] Biomechd, idek man sum1 mite b abl 2 [05:22] I suggest a hammer... fixes most stuff. [05:22] well, on a side note, are fiber connection more realiable? [05:22] quite. === Dat_ is now known as Dat [05:22] Would anyone mind helping me through something? It may seem like a bit of a stupid question. [05:23] ImSoToxik: If I'm able, sure [05:23] just spit it out [05:23] Don't ask to ask [05:23] lol [05:23] "Can I ask you a question?" [05:23] Don't we have a bot for that [05:23] !ask [05:23] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [05:23] Yep [05:23] TheKurrgan, but I want to know, are the data plans still represented by BITS?I mean, because I've heard it's faster [05:23] how do i change the time it takes until i can use my touchpad after typing? [05:24] sianhulo: Typically yes, but with Fiber it can range from 10Mbit to 10Gbit or beyond. [05:24] ImSoToxik: no, what we WOULDN'T mind doing is chaining you to a tree inside a cage with a little house and little plastic bowl and poke you with sticks and corn husks. [05:24] TheKurrgan, there's a new fiber cable system coming out that can handle like 10TB per second [05:24] Okay; I'm trying to install Ubuntu. I have the iso image I need and everything burned onto a disc. I go to boot from disc and install it, but the installer doesn't go through all the way, [05:24] TheKurrgan, per fiber [05:24] histo: that bim server installation other than installing it on a win7 vbox [05:25] I've tried it 3 times now, but the installer seems to stop mid-way through the installation. [05:25] rcmaehl: Probably.. we've never found any limitations for SM fiber yet. [05:25] Only a limitation of the stuff at each end of it. [05:25] knivez: I don't know what bim server does? If you perhaps describe what the obscure application does, we may be able to find an alternative. [05:25] Computers need to use light for computing [05:25] !md5sum | ImSoToxik [05:25] ImSoToxik: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [05:25] TheKurrgan, so it should be 1260(or near)kylobites per second regarless of the distance? [05:25] basically it shares libraries and files that different users are working on [05:25] they'd be much faster than electricity [05:26] Senjai: this might be useful https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Touchpad_Synaptics#Disable_Trackpad_while_Typing [05:26] its like a sharing server for a specific program [05:26] fiber will go rated speed no matter the distance.. provided its engineered to operate at that speed. [05:26] thanks madprops [05:26] histo: sorry I didnt tag you on all of my responses, [05:26] I run 10Gbit links between buildings 80 Kilometers away over fiber [05:26] knivez: like office collaboration software? [05:26] yes [05:27] very similar [05:27] TheKurrgan, now I'm wondering... how much is it?that sounds awfully costly [05:27] knivez: well there are tons of those available in linux. Is there a reason you want to stick with this particular program from windows? [05:27] 10Gbit per second is roughly 1.1 GigaBYTES per second. [05:27] Senjai: check the xinitrc method, it has a timeout option [05:27] histo: this one is specifically made for a program though [05:28] madprops: this is kind of confusing, xinitrc? [05:28] knivez: For what specific "program"? [05:28] archicad [05:28] sianhulo: breaks down like this.. 1 byte = 8 bits... so either multiply or divide by 8 to convert one to the other. [05:28] madprops: I am decent with the command line for programs I use often, but I usually do the hardware stuff in the gui === Dat_ is now known as Dat [05:28] TheKurrgan, do we even have SSDs that fast yet?? [05:29] TheKurrgan, I know, I was actually asking for the price [05:29] rcmaehl: Not in a single drive configurtation. [05:29] how to change the default python on ubuntu? after i installed python 2.7 but if i install any software their always use old python 2.6 for default, anyone can help me === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [05:29] sianhulo: Big bucks. We lease our fiber.. for just the dark fiber it runs us about 3k a month [05:29] Senjai: try this, run this on a terminal http://scrot.it/357 and see if the timeout you want is working [05:29] knivez: Is this being done in a production environment? [05:30] sianhulo: 2800 bucks per end just for the module, + the switch. [05:30] histo yes it interacts with the production software directly. Mainly archicad [05:30] sianhulo: no one would need that at home for internet access... you'll be quite happy with say, 10Mbit [05:30] how to change the default python on ubuntu? after i installed python 2.7 but if i install any software their always use old python 2.6 for default, anyone can help me [05:30] come on [05:31] rcmaehl: Actually I was wrong, I forgot about the PCI Express SSD's...they should be able to do it. [05:31] TheKurrgan, actually, that is the limit in my country. Sadly, where i am staying they can't provide it === otend_ is now known as otend [05:31] knivez: Since you are tied to this proprietary application. I would setup a server with one windows vm to run that software. [05:31] madprops: its a bit too long [05:31] madprops: but im guessing 2 is the number I'm looking for? [05:31] knivez: Any reason you are trying to get all their stuff to work on linux? [05:31] Senjai: yes you can modify it to whatever you want [05:31] I am using linux for other research, fortran code [05:32] this is for someone else who can use this computer while its running as a server already [05:32] I dont know how to simultaneously boot 2 OS's or I would [05:32] madprops: it doesnt really work that well.. [05:32] madprops: err, it doesnt change the value [05:32] Is there anywhere that I could see an error log or hint as to why my Ubuntu install infinite reboots and doesn't even show a grub menu or error? I did run the boot repair disc and it claimed to be successful. [05:32] sianhulo: UY limits it to that low of a cap??? [05:32] Senjai: now, if that is working, add it to ~/.xinitr so it is applied at startup [05:33] not usefull [05:33] TheKurrgan, yeah, and at a official rate it would be like 85$ [05:33] madprops: not working :/ [05:33] madprops: I think I should indicate I'm using kubuntu.. [05:33] Senjai: it does say the command should be executed before your window manager is ran, so maybe you can try re-logging [05:33] madprops: not sure if the driver is different, syndaemon is installed though [05:34] Senjai: so try adding it to ~/.xinitrc [05:34] sianhulo: and I thought providers in the US were full of shit. [05:34] and login again === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [05:34] madprops: no file exists, I think its a kde difference [05:35] sianhulo: 50Mbit down/ 10 up runs bout $70 US from comcast in California. [05:35] TheKurrgan, ha!that's hardly something to be worried about, right now we have toilette paper shortage, even if that sounds impossible for you [05:35] Senjai: give me a sec, it appears ubuntu doesn't actually use xinitrc [05:36] madprops: :P thats cool. That's an Arch thing right? [05:36] sianhulo: Every time I think I have a bad situation, I watch the movie "Whores Glory" -- I suddenly remember no matter how bad I think my situation is, its not as bad as others. [05:37] Senjai: not really, it's for Xorg which Ubuntu uses [05:37] madprops: TBH I wish I could just swap back to Ubuntu without losing all my files.. [05:37] TheKurrgan, that doesn't mean one cannot complain to their government for not working the most efficient way possible, but whining for no reason is another thing [05:37] madprops: or configurations [05:38] Senjai: try this http://scrot.it/358 [05:39] Senjai: wait forgot to add the dot, it's ~/.xinitrc [05:39] for example, my brother was born with a problem in both of his legs so they were cut in order to be able to use prosthesis, he graduated as a doctor, cum laud, and earns basically minimum wage(the same as others doctors) [05:39] sianhulo: "whining for no reason" -- Perhaps pioneered by San Francisco and other places in california. [05:40] madprops: you just want me to create it and mark it executable? [05:40] Senjai: I don't even think it has to be executable [05:40] I don't know what I was thinking [05:41] just create it and add the line [05:41] madprops: force of habit, see dot, think chmod +x :) === Dat_ is now known as Dat [05:42] alright and relogin? [05:42] yeah, it might work [05:44] TheKurrgan, btw, in the hypotethical case that I planned to go live there, where should I go?I think i've heard of durango, but as you live there I would like you give me your opinion [05:45] To california? [05:45] The United States is... big.. [05:45] madprops: no luck :/ [05:46] California has every virtually every terrain.. For work you'd be better off near a major city, depending on what you do. [05:46] can sombody help me with a bug i am having? everytime i Open system settings my screen brightness changes. its very annoying. is there a fix? if not is there a way to manually lock this setting to full? [05:46] Senjai: Senjai just realized you could have done this http://scrot.it/359 [05:46] TheKurrgan, a relatively quit place, near nature, preferibly having seasons and I don't care if it's small [05:46] TheKurrgan, california, new york and others such at this could be eliminated from the list [05:47] sianhulo: California has everything.. [05:47] but [05:47] Georgia has full gambit of seasons [05:47] madprops: I just want to reinstall ubuntu.. === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [05:47] i have a problem, i mounted a usb with mount command and it worked now i need to unmount it true the terminal ... i looked at the mount man page nothing there about unmounting aany help appreciated [05:47] also, the less populace the cheaper the place [05:47] madprops: KDE is kinda breaking down on me :/ [05:47] Senjai: I understand :P [05:48] djapo: umount /path/to/mount [05:48] sianhulo: Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, North Carolina, South Carolina [05:48] sianhulo: All pretty cheap, got decent amounts of nature etc..

[05:48] TheKurrgan, thanks. histo, sorry, subject dropped [05:49] histo: Acknowledged. [05:49] also djapo when mounting udisk --mount /path/to/mount is slightly easier [05:49] with appologies. [05:50] Senjai: just format them [05:50] Senjai, how much ram do you have? [05:50] TinkerTailorHC: 8 gigs.. [05:50] histo: from windows? [05:51] Hi, I want to install the LAMP stack on 12.04 but substitute PostgreSQL for MySQL. Is it best to use the recommended method (taskel lamp-server) and then purge MySQL, or to install each layer individually? [05:51] histo: I'm more concerned about the installation with partitions already set, as I created them during installation last time. [05:51] also Senjai are you a cli ninja and how big are your balls(figuratively speaking) [05:51] Senjai: is there a reason you don't want to recreate them? [05:52] TinkerTailorHC: I've installed ArchLinux on a vm a long time ago.. [05:52] Senjai: If you need to keep them you select manual partitioning and specify where each partition is mounted etc.... and whether to format it etc.. [05:52] histo: not really, i would just prefer not to. [05:52] histo: I dont have seperate partitions for root and stuff like arch does.. [05:53] Senjai: then I'm confused by what you want to do exactly [05:54] histo: I guess I am too! /hopeless. I was going to reinstall ubuntu, and remove kubuntu. But now I realize I dont even have the USB so I can't :/ [05:54] histo: unless you know some hackish way to do that on the same partition without having to boot from a usb ;) [05:54] Senjai: paste.ubuntu.com the output of lsblk and sudo blkid [05:55] I am trying to upgrade my kernel and atitude is pulling in http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ lucid/main linux-image-2.6.32-21-generic 2.6.32-21.32 this can't be right??

Not sure my balls are big enough [06:04] histo: Never, Id have to buy a new one [06:04] I am not understanding what is going on with my USB drive. In gparted I show the drive as completely unallocated, however in Nautilus it shows that there are files on the drive :-? [06:05] Senjai: Yea you could in theory do this. But it will take way to long to explain how to do. Much longer than it will take for you to pick up a 5$ thumbdrive to install from or burn a cd-r [06:05] bjrohan: parted -l /dev/of/usb/drive [06:05] bjrohan: and paste.ubuntu.com that output for us [06:05] histo: Ubuntu doesnt fit on a cd-r these days ;). Could I not just shrink a partition? I know how to do that. [06:06] parted -l /dev/sdb? [06:06] histo: The making of an "iso bootable partition" that you speak of is something I don't know how to do [06:06] histo: I'm 99% ready to chuck windows out the window, like I don't use the damn OS anymore except for a few tools for work [06:07] histo: TLDR, I can make 500GB of space on sdb available if I need it [06:07] histo parted -l /dev/sdb give me no results [06:07] Senjai: sure it does use the mini iso [06:07] bjrohan: yeah sudo parted -l /dev/sdb | pastebinit [06:07] histo: Oh my, really? WELL this changes everything [06:07] histo: fits in an 800 mb disk? [06:07] Senjai: fits ona 30mb disk [06:07] any advice on how to make ubuntu run batter on a netbook?

[06:09] histo: Oh, well lets hope I can find one of those relics [06:09] We are I entered what you said that is what I got [06:10] Okay, so, my installer still stops about half-way through the installation process. I'm stumped. [06:10] Senjai: I'll get you a link. Which version of ubuntu are you looking for? [06:10] histo: Take a look at my command line entries: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5715741/ [06:11] bjrohan: sudo parted -l /dev/sdb will not output data of /dev/sda [06:11] histo: 13.04 if its stable [06:11] well, take a look at pastebin that is exactly what I entered [06:11] Anyone got any ideas for me?

Still stopping about halfway through. [06:15] ImSoToxik: yOU have to check your download and your installation media [06:16] histo: Can't i just copy the contents of the iso into the partition, would it still be bootable? [06:16] Senjai: you could boot an iso from grub no need to copy the contents [06:16] My 12.04 lts setup crashes in fullscreen opengl.

I had to get a linux-based OS running on it, so i got Ubuntu 12.04.1 64 bit Desktop version. I installed from Ubuntu's LiveUSB , and set the grub to be installed in /hda/sda1 (the efi partition). All went fine and then at the last moment, it showed "grub-install dummy" failed. [06:17] I'm sorry for sounding so technologically impaired, but, I'm quite new to this. [06:17] Now when i boot off from Ubuntu's LiveUSB, it shows an error saying "running on low graphics mode", then i clicked OK, in the next screen , i selected "run on low graphics mode for this session", then it says "wait for 1 minute until the desktop restarts", and then nothing happens.

Because at the moment it is fubar, crashes randomly and changing resolutions screws up the install [06:45] Linux Distributions have lifetime warranties [06:45] For every 4 years [06:46] I downloaded the 12.04 LTS 64-Bit iso image. [06:47] Be positive that 64-Bit is for Windows 7 capability systems.. [06:47] How would I be able to view the model of my graphics card from ubuntu? [06:48] I would usually have Ubuntu ship me a 1st copy DISC... Very thankful for that! [06:49] I checked that my system is 64-bit before downloading. Would using a 32-bit iso image be bad if my system is 64-bit? [06:49] It's the same... [06:50] Like I said; I'm extremely new to this. [06:50] Though I'm sure I've made that painfully obvious. [06:51] 64-bit is a newer technology.. [06:51] Well, I knew that.

[07:01] ImSoToxik: No use 12.04 [07:02] Guest1533: no it doesn't [07:02] 12.04 is more stable, and actually has an alternate cd [07:02] histo, ASRock > B75 Pro3 [07:02] I have install ubuntu 12.04 in my laptop but i m facing a problem when I started my ubuntu os it is show black screen and it is not working correctly.but when I started ubuntu recovery mode it is working. [07:02] Guest62304: lspci | grep Network [07:02] !nomodeset | rohan [07:02] rohan: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [07:02] to solve this problem what should i do? [07:03] the next lts release will be 14.04 right ? [07:03] yes [07:03] rohan: Most Distributions require a particular machine and hardware! [07:04] thanks [07:04] Guest1533: no, that is completely wrong [07:05] Checking the website http://ubuntu.com shows complete support for hardware.. [07:05] I need some assistance in making a game controller work with Linux. It works in WINE just fine, with my emulators. VisualBoy Advance is the only emulator on Linux, and it isn't working with my controller. I don't understand why or how to fix it, and can't find anything with Google on fixing it. My controller is philips sgc2910bb/27 [07:05] I seem to be plugging the sata cable into the wrong port [07:05] Most printer are not supported until qualified for Linux Support [07:05] which port is correct? [07:05] ... [07:06] now that I have Ubuntu running.. when I installed Ubuntu, I chose to run Windows which was already my pre existing OS , is Ubuntu now my primary OS ? when I boot my comp it always goes to the Ubuntu screen giving me 4 option . Ubuntu at the top and windows at the bottom at dev/hdd etc. so my question is , if i have spyware or virus on my windows partition , key logger spyware or something , will that transfer over to my Ubuntu s [07:06] moses: huh? any port should work for sata [07:06] moses: there shouldn't be a "wrong" port [07:06] when i changed ports and plugged it in only a master comes in [07:06] Guest1533: please stop [07:06] how come I cant see all of my drives in the bios now? [07:06] and everything is so slow :/ [07:06] moses: there are no master slaves on sata [07:06] It's wise to check hardware support for each distribution... [07:06] TroLLBan: no. [07:07] TroLLBan: no...ubuntu and windows partitons are different [07:07] I can't seem to find any support for my controller. [07:07] Some make the list.. Some don't... [07:07] I am working with Geany.. I think there's a way to show the output of the HTML code in a browser(say, Firefox) from Geany itself, But I can't seem to find it... Please help!! [07:07] A1Recon: /j #geany [07:07] how come this drive wont come up? [07:07] moses: are you sure you have a sata drive and not ide? [07:08] moses: how do we know? you've provided nearly no information [07:08] histo: thanks for that link.... [07:09] Okay, I tried to install the nvidia driver from the website and it added a no nouveau line to modprobe.d but now I can't get to any command line other than the safe mode one which is read only. On startup it just show a blinking _ in the top left hand corner. [07:09] On regular startup. [07:10] niocora: you should install from the software center, not from nvidia's site [07:10] But the software centerone didn't work. [07:10] Also my first time with nvidia. [07:10] !work | niocora [07:10] niocora: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [07:10] It should. [07:10] how do I change my mouse cursor speed ? its too fast .. i can barely get it to stop in one place .. i want to make it more sticky .. help ? [07:11] Mine doesn't even change. You're lucky. :( [07:11] The repository drivers displayed only a portion of the screen at a low resolution and has no effects, menubars etc. [07:11] had no effects. [07:12] niocora: which driver did you try from the repos? [07:12] niocora -- Software sources > additional drivers? [07:12] actually I think the issues is bad sata cables [07:12] :/ [07:12] 310 [07:12] Also nvidia-current-updates [07:13] probably wasn't installed correctly, you have optimus, or a 3rd secret option [07:13] Optimus is ?.... [07:13] dual gpu [07:13] i got it , pointer speed [07:13] Nope. [07:13] Not optimus [07:13] many new laptops have it [07:14] It's not a laptop. [07:14] the pointer speed? [07:14] some desktops could too :) [07:14] Custom built. [07:14] Had an AMD in it until today. [07:14] And it's not an GTX690 [07:14] Guest1533: even on the dlowest setting its rather fast [07:14] but its more likely that they werent installed correctly [07:15] or the amd stuff is messing with it [07:15] Great, so how do I un-instal it. [07:15] idk what to do the bios doesnt pick the drive up [07:15] Guest1533: all settings/mouse and touchpad/pointer speed [07:15] and it doesnt matter which hard drive i plug in [07:15] moses: try #hardware ? [07:15] Also AMD stuff is gone. [07:15] I know, just funny that it's a typical option settings! [07:15] niocora: did you purge, not just remove? [07:15] Uhh, no. [07:15] 12.04 is supported until when again [07:16] rcmaehl: release + 5 years [07:16] rcmaehl: for all LTS [07:16] ahh! the lifespan... [07:16] Ben64: Not for all versions :) [07:17] bekks: all lts [07:17] !lts | Guest1533 [07:17] Guest1533: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [07:17] so anyway . is it ok to ask about VUZE or other bot torrent clients in general and how to ise them w/Ubuntu , such as does VUZE work and if so how , or are there a better one for Ubuntu ? [07:17] Ben64: No. Not all LTS. [07:17] I should be allright if I can get a console. [07:18] niocora: uninstall the one from the site, purge all the amd related gpu stuffs, then install nvidia (whichever version you want), build-essential, linux-headers$(uname -r | sed s/^.*[0-9]\-/-/g) === willmaster7 is now known as wm [07:18] I can't get a console. [07:19] bekks: you gonna keep repeating that or provide a clue as to what you mean [07:19] niocora: recovery mode? [07:19] Read only. [07:19] Ben64: I just provided. Read what ubottu said please. [07:19] niocora: mount -o remount,rw /dev/null / [07:19] yes. recovery mode monts / read only.. you can remount it [07:19] Oh. [07:19] Hang on. [07:20] bekks: Starting with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS, both versions will receive 5 years support. [07:20] it does that so you can fsck / i belive.. [07:20] niocora: mount -o remount,rw ..... [07:21] theres also text mode. [07:21] !text [07:21] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode [07:21] that gives you jusst a normal login: console [07:21] Guest62304: did you ever get around to typing lscpi | grep Network in a terminal? [07:21] Ah, cool. [07:21] I have Ubuntu 13.04 i think with only one uear of support , so what happens after 1 year ? meltdown ? [07:22] TroLLBan: it goes 'End of Life' [07:22] !eol [07:22] !eol | TroLLBan [07:22] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [07:22] TroLLBan: please see above === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [07:22] How best to purge all previous GPU driver assets? [07:23] TroLLBan: starting with 13.04, non-lts versions only get 9 months support [07:23] niocora: depends how you installed them? with nvidia.com drivers you ahve to run their NVIDIA-blah.run --uninstall [07:23] niocora: runn the nvidia installer you downloaded again, it has an uninstall option which can be specified. [07:23] nickbo: which will probably break your system. [07:24] WINE... use WINE.. [07:24] it's the best i've seen [07:24] niocora: with drivers from the repos just sudo apt-get purge somepackage [07:24] niocora: dpkg -l | grep -v ^ii [07:24] !ot > Guest1533 [07:24] Guest1533, please see my private message [07:24] niocora: that should show you the packages with residual config [07:25] Guest1533: stop giving terrible advice [07:25] Ben64: so how do i get LTS ? [07:26] ubuntu.com, download 12.04 [07:26] why do you need lts? ;) [07:27] dr_willis_: Until he doesnt say "I dont need it, I knowwhat I am doing", he needs it :) [07:27] im waiting for him to come in asking why every package is so old.. ;P [07:27] dr_willis_: so i just keep updating all the time ? like when Saucy Salamander comes out , i just update to that , and then the next and so on and on like riding a wave ? [07:27] because its not rolling release [07:27] dr_willis_: better than coming in here with 13.04 in a few years asking why it can't connect to the repositories [07:28] clcto: do ubuntu roll? [07:28] someone came in last week with a 6.04 box asking that.. [07:28] TroLLBan: Thats whats LTS is about. [07:28] qin: No. [07:28] bekks: ... [07:28] TroLLBan: keep updateing.. or do a clean install of the next release.. is what many people do [07:28] TroLLBan: or you can go LTS to LTS upgrades [07:28] but i'm sure there will be people with 12.04 coming here in 2017 mad that support stopped === dr_willis_ is now known as Dr_Willis [07:29] LTS is for being stable, not necessarily the newest [07:29] Ben64: They would come in in 2117 too... ;) [07:29] now, would it be possible to dynamicaly change pointer form left to right handed for one app (gfxtablet)? [07:29] some people have unusual ideas as to what 'support' means also. comapred to how the ubuntu devs classify 'support' === krumpli is now known as geza [07:30] bekks: please , i am so confused .. break it down for me please .. what are my options here ... im running 13.04 along side of my old windows .. i want to get rid of windows forever , and not have to worry about EOL unless i can update to the newest release all the time .. is LTS free ? [07:30] yes [07:30] TroLLBan: you will be upgradeing to the next release every 9 months or so then.. if you want to stick to the latest. [07:31] TroLLBan: Your . key is broken. Yes, Ubuntu is free. [07:31] Dr_Willis: its 6 months [07:31] he dosent have to do it eery 6 mo... since support is 98 mo [07:31] someone will come here in 2017 with precise, then we'd have to tell them to upgrade to tenacious tamarin, then to xanthic xebu [07:31] *.04, *.10, *.04 [07:31] !13.04 | clcto [07:31] clcto: Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ - Release notes: http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/13.04 [07:32] LTS isnt every 9 months, its like every 2 years [07:32] sorry, no support date [07:32] 13.04 support ends January 2014 [07:32] Hello. [07:32] 13.04 = 0.09 = 14.01 :D [07:32] first = should be a + [07:32] so the Ubuntu roll is where i just update a clean install from say USB every time they release , like say Saucy Salamander from current 13.04 ? [07:33] and 13.04 isnt LTS [07:33] hi, hello. i have problem with secondary Monitor. I have this problem "GDBus.Error:org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name org.gnome.SettingsDaemon was not provided by any .service files" [07:33] i see second Monitor but when i apply modified have error [07:33] TroLLBan: Or you stick with LTS and update to a new version every 5 years. [07:34] Ben64: so thats how we roll now ? the Ubuntu roll ? [07:34] TroLLBan: update however you wish [07:34] or to the next lts version every 2 years. [07:35] bekks: well i have no problem updating every 6 months or whatever .. i want to do the Ubuntu roll and i love the cool names they use for each release ... [07:35] of course in the next few releases theres going to be a lot of changes and inovation.. from whats being said in the blog-o-sphere [07:35] TroLLBan: Fix your broken . key. [07:35] cool names are silly really.. [07:35] TroLLBan: if you want rolling release ubuntu is not the answer [07:35] How will /ect/ be effected from a roll? [07:36] bbl. [07:36] Guest1533: Its not protected. [07:36] clcto: please explain ? [07:36] TroLLBan: Because Ubuntu isnt rolling release. [07:36] So a roll will protect my C+ compiler? [07:36] Guest1533: No. [07:36] TroLLBan: ^^ [07:37] Hooray! Old drivers purged. [07:37] Guest1533: Everything necessary will get updated. [07:37] Now, what driver SHOULD I get for a GTX680? [07:37] bekks: Thankx.. [07:37] TroLLBan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolling_release [07:37] There are atleast 7 in the sources. [07:38] I've noticed the /ect/include/ partition? [07:38] Is it for my C++? [07:38] Guest1533: Thats a directory, not a partition. And it doesnt exist on my boxes. [07:40] rolling release when it comes to a linux distribution means that the software in the repos is changed when the new software is released, as opposed to ubuntu where certain packages will not be updated due to certain issue, like compatability with the new kernel which is usually only updraded with a dist-upgrade [07:40] Is there a Puesdo-Tunnel required or capability for linux? [07:41] ok , i understand rolling release now , Ubuntu roll is a joke , but a good way to explain constantly updating a vlean install of each Ubuntu release ... [07:41] Guest1533: What do you mean by that? [07:41] I've noticed it's important for IPv6 [07:41] hello [07:42] Guest1533: Do you mean some software to tunnel your non-IPv6 ISP connection to an IPv6 broker? [07:42] Which drivers should I get for an nvidia card? [07:42] can anyone point me how to sync my iPhone with on ubuntu? [07:42] niocora: the nvidia drivers from the repos. [07:42] niocora: the proprietary ones [07:42] Obviously proprietary but which ones? [07:42] clcto: Which are included in the repo. [07:43] niocora: its not obvious, some people only like free software [07:43] No. Just a transfer from computer A to A.. [07:43] so basically , i want to know if i am ready to do a clean install of each Ubuntu release , then I will be ok. [07:43] Obvious for me. [07:43] TroLLBan: We cant answer wether you will be ready. Ubuntu is ready :) [07:43] nvidia-current-updates? [07:43] niocora: you asked which... i answered [07:44] bekks: sounds good. i am ready. [07:44] clcto: But there are a ton of proprietary nvidia drivers in the reopsitories. [07:45] well thats dumb [07:45] bekks: now , can i use VUZE on Ubuntu ? and how do i get rid of Windows which is still "alongside". [07:45] Hey guys, another interesting problem. Installed the amd catalyst beta driver for my tri-screen setup, but only one screen functions properly - other two just have the x mouse cursor, no wallpaper/background, can't move apps / no icons on desktop etc. Should I just go install the normal drivers to see if they fix this? [07:45] TroLLBan: you format the hdd [07:45] no response :( [07:46] I'm new in linux. please guide me. [07:46] x with unity? [07:46] x- : In the driver settings you have the wrong multi-screen type. [07:46] TroLLBan: I dont even know what "VUZE". And installing Ubuntu to your entire harddisk will get you rid of Windows. [07:46] niocora: oh? What does that mean / how do I fix it? : [07:46] :) [07:46] VUZE is a bittorent client. [07:46] like LimeWire [07:47] falcon: the apple uses its own communication protocol, there should be a library that lets you sync it, but it isnt guarenteed [07:47] falcon: sudo apt-get install vuze === bill_ is now known as billcho [07:47] !torrent | TroLLBan [07:47] TroLLBan: Some torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus/Vuse (Java), !Frostwire (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/help/faq - See also !P2P [07:48] falcon: gtkpod, amarok had some functionality === rlh_ is now known as knives === knives is now known as knivez [07:48] falcon: removing windows can be done by deleting the partition it is on [07:48] falcon: yet, i know them form ipod era [07:49] lol sorry... i meant TroLLBan [07:49] >_< [07:49] what are the common setting for gufw? [07:49] Znoosey: how do i do that from within 13.04 ? [07:49] How do i remove the AMD Testing use only thing in the bottom right corner? [07:49] any link ? [07:49] Does PHP versions update in Ubuntu LTS? [07:49] TroLLBan: open command prompt with ctrl+alt+t [07:50] zethbbb: only for bugfixes. Not major versions [07:50] TroLLBan: then do: sudo apt-get install vuze [07:50] say I want to update iOS. can it be done in a linux env? [07:50] what are the common setting for ubuntu firewall ??? [07:51] falcon: nah, you need itunes [07:51] Hopefully final question: in AMD installation, what is the difference between the install driver on xorg option or the generate distribution specific package? [07:52] qin: well. that sad. I want to dump windows [07:52] what kind of drive should i choose for vbox? [07:52] x-: latter will give you deb, which you can dpkg [07:52] anyone using enable ubuntu firewall at all ? [07:52] qin: cheers === knivez is now known as moseS_ === moseS_ is now known as moses_ [07:53] ubuntu has a firewall now? [07:53] qin: First one says I am missing a tool? [07:53] asfdff: your question is too vague. For a firewall, you block everything, then allow what you want to allow. [07:53] x-: or i thinks so, where do you getting driver from? === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [07:54] somsip , that's what i'm asking .....what are the common port should be allowed [07:54] qin: amd support page [07:54] Znoosey: alwas had? [07:54] asfdff: the ones you want people to access on your computer. The question is too vague. It depends on what you want, not on what other people do === rhumiz is now known as Rhumiz [07:54] x-: why not repos? jockey-txt -list [07:54] qin, it was meant as a joke [07:55] Znoosey: need coffee, it appears [07:55] qin: Not sure, new to ubuntu. Need the amd radeon 6900 hd drivers [07:55] somsip you are too vague [07:55] asfdff: block everything. If you want to allow a user to access a particular service, open that port. that's it [07:56] x-: wait, press M$ logo, and type driver, select icon of additional drivers, or something similar [07:56] qin: Yeah I have the .run file downloaded from that [07:56] x-: no. [07:56] qin: oh. :P [07:57] Confused! [07:57] Hello I am new to Ubuntu and could really use some help. Is there anyone who can help me? [07:57] x-: don't download the driver manually from the site, you should use the one in the repos (which has been tested) [07:57] !anyone | crews_control [07:57] crews_control: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [07:57] anyone here have experience setting up ufw? [07:57] !ask | crews_control [07:58] crews_control: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [07:58] asfdff: yes. What do you need to know? [07:58] auronandace: Woops, shows my noobliness hehe. Just finished installing so will reboot and see if it does anything, if not will use repos. [07:58] ok, why there is no jockey in 13.04? [07:58] crews_control: you're already asking ;) [07:58] qin: its replaced, integrated with software sources [07:59] I love shutdown in ubuntu. Click, everything dies. None of this rubbish in windows lol [07:59] crews_control, for your general question, here is a general answer: http://smashingweb.info/things-to-do-after-installing-ubuntu-12-10-for-perfect-desktop/ [07:59] i found it fixing all my problems in ubuntu :P [07:59] asfdff: look, maybe you need to read a bit more yourself. Try this http://is.gd/qQZgjT [07:59] x-: press windows logo and type: software and open software center [08:00] qin: sorry, windows logo? :P [08:00] !ufw | asfdff [08:00] asfdff: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [08:00] Oh right you mean physically, thought you meant inside ubuntu itself [08:00] x-: key next to Alt [08:00] Okay. sorry. well here is my problem. I was running windows 8 on my hp pavilion. I wanted to dual boot Ubuntu with it. I used unetbootin and used a usb device to boot into Ubuntu. I used 29Gb of unallocated space to partition for running Ubuntu alongside windows 8. When i booted into Ubuntu and restarted my computer it will not restart into Windows 8. It give me a choice of the Partiotion that its on but will not boot. [08:01] x-: in software center type amd or ati, install [08:01] Yep, one second. I actually installed ubuntu on my mbp at the same time as my desktop, mbp is working pretty well but the desktop is what is presenting me with errors :P [08:01] !uefi | crews_control [08:01] crews_control: 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 [08:01] oh the "optimized" driver? I looked at that earlier but was put off by the low star rating === Guest97771 is now known as ponbiki [08:02] But is there a way to boot back into windows? its still partitioned on my hard drive. [08:02] #ubuntu-cn [08:03] qin: I'll be right back, just restarting my mac (that has irc on it) so that I can setup the nvidia drivers for it. [08:03] x-: yeah, it is not exactly open source, and in general it deserves two stars [08:04] Oh shit, desktop just came back up and it is completely fucked. No unity overlay, just desktop. Three screens all have different underscans, and no way to do anything as far as I can tell right now. [08:04] !language | x- [08:04] x-: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [08:04] how do you go into the root directory?

[08:04] somsip: Sorry, just getting irritated - this is taking longer than it should heh [08:04] qin: desktop, ati [08:05] Opened terminal with ctrl+alt+t [08:05] But is there a way to boot back into windows? its still partitioned on my hard drive. [08:05] yez [08:05] x-: hold shift at boot [08:05] how would I be able to open up the software center from the terminal? [08:06] x-: why would you want to [08:06] qin: Ugh that is going to be a pain, bluetooth keyboard so can't use key combinations during boot. Will look for wired one, soon. [08:06] clcto: to view software sources [08:06] open it from gui [08:06] clcto: No gui lmfao [08:06] x-: aptitude, or sanely aptfor cli installing [08:06] drivers (or lack of) has completely mashed it [08:06] I bought my new laptop (HP Probook 4540s - i5 3210m+Hybrid GPU (Radeon HD 7650m+HD 4000)), and ditched the sucking Windows 8 installation for Ubuntu 13.04. I'm a linux beginner :P. I can't control the brightness (done via fn+f1/f2 or from system settings) in Ubuntu (It worked in Win8 and OpenSUSE). THe default brightness in it is at max. I searched the web for solutions. Many are currently incomprehensible to me. But still, I tried many solutions listed [08:06] . Nothing worked. Some people said "xgamma -gamma" commands would do, but it's not a real solution. Any other way? Or am I missing something? [08:06] cd / doesnt get it into root [08:07] I want to cd root but it says permission denied === Motoservo_ is now known as Motoservo [08:07] moses_: what path are you trying to get into? /home/root ? [08:07] right I have a physical keyboard. What does shift during boot do? [08:07] I want to look at my vbox virtual drives [08:07] and apparently they are under /root/ [08:07] moses_: that doesn't answer the question [08:08] moses_: ok - lag. [08:08] x-: gives you grub menu for booting in other installed systems [08:08] moses_: sudo cd /root [08:08] can anyone tell me how to dual boot windows 8 and ubuntu. or just how to put an iso on a usb device. unetbootin isnt working for me.?? [08:08] qin: I can get into other systems perfectly fine, but ubuntu is mashed? [08:08] says command not found\ [08:08] starts up with no unity launcher etc [08:08] cd command not found :/ [08:08] moses_: sudo is not recognized? [08:08] crews_control: just use dd to put it on the device [08:08] what did you do, rm -f *? [08:08] moses_: then you may have to sudo -i to get a root shell, then cd /root and play *carefully* [08:09] http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [08:09] crews_control: windows 8 uses uefi, ubootin doesnt work with efi systems [08:09] for load ubuntu with usb device [08:09] crews_control: it's a hybrid image so that should work [08:09] hi o/ [08:09] you must modify your BIOS startup option [08:09] okay what is dd? [08:09] ok how do I go back into my user ? [08:10] crews_control: and in bios you will have to turn off secure boot [08:10] qin: Alright basically my current state is whenever I boot ubuntu it loads a messed up driver that I downloaded from the web page. No unity interface (launcher/menubar) but I have a desktop and can open terminal. What should I do? :3 [08:10] crews_control: it makes an exact copy of a disk into an img file, or vice versa, or copies disks [08:10] crews_control: dd is a linux utility [08:11] okay so how do i modify BIOS? or turn off secure boot? I am lost... [08:11] x-: bad, sudo apt-get purge fglrx* [08:11] crews_control: depends on the computer, you hit an fkey during boot to get into setup [08:12] x-: or wait: [08:12] okay mine is hit escape to get into setup. once there what do i do? [08:12] qin: It's just restarting, purged the drivers using aptitude [08:12] somsip: how do i get back to my user? [08:12] out of root? [08:12] in the boot tab or somewhere there should be secure boot [08:12] moses_: CTRL D, or exit [08:12] Someguy123: su *username* [08:12] i think [08:12] okay once i turn secure boot off what do i do? [08:12] ty [08:12] moses_: why are you in root [08:12] moses_: did you get into /root ok? [08:13] qin: Alright, removed drivers and now all three screens start at right resolution, but they are mirrored, and there is still no unity launcher [08:13] clcto: I wanted to see a virtual drive I made [08:13] I originally made a vdi but then deleted the instance in vbox and wanted to make sure it went away [08:13] you can do most everything with sudo without root [08:13] so i went in there and looked [08:13] x-: http://linuxg.net/how-to-properly-remove-the-proprietary-ati-drivers-on-debian-ubuntu-and-linux-mint/ [08:13] i couldnt get into /root/ without being root [08:13] somsip: yes thank you [08:14] Also I am running virtualbox [08:14] qin: Running steps, thanks [08:14] and its taking up a terminal [08:14] moses_: if that is vbox default, I would recommend creating a folder for vbox images in an accessible place, changing vbox config, copying the images, and not having to su -i again [08:14] *sudo -i [08:14] somsip: ok [08:14] moses_: but if it's a one off, no big deal [08:14] x-: first link out there, you may want to try to reload lightdm [08:15] okay once i turn secure boot off what do i do? [08:15] somsip: I will move it, even though i dont know how. [08:15] I also wanted to know how I could get virtualbox to run without having it take up a terminal [08:16] moses_: If this was a one off thing you needed to do, it might be more hassle that it's worth. [08:16] moses_: how did you install vbox? [08:16] sudo [08:16] Currently downloading all of the files [08:16] idk [08:16] removed all of the xorg configures and purged fglrx [08:16] i just installed the 64 bit ubuntu ver [08:16] from the site [08:17] moses_: and? sudo dpkg -i virtualbox....deb to install? [08:17] qin: Whilst that is downloading I am going to restart my mbp, setting up nvidia drivers on this. [08:17] Back in a few minutes. [08:17] yeah [08:17] thats what i did exactly [08:17] moses_: ok - long time since I install it, but the defaults you're describing sound messed up to me. Not sure what to tell you though. [08:18] what do you mean defaults? [08:18] moses_: vmdis in an inaccessible dir, running in a terminal... [08:18] yeah i dont know where it is to be honest :( [08:19] 这里人很多啊，不知道有没有看的懂中文的 [08:19] how do i fix it?

[08:20] 12.04 [08:20] ok [08:20] qin: Alright I'm back. Macbook nvidia drivers work and display is better, and desktop has just finished downloading all of the packages and is restarting. [08:21] qin: Should I expect it to take a while to shut down? Because it is. [08:22] what version of PHP is shipped with Ubuntu 12.04 LTS? [08:22] moses_: I don't rightly know. You could remove that and reinstall from the official package (which is 4.1.* rather than the .deb which should be 4.2.*), or remove and reinstall from PPA which isn't always best advice. Or look for a solution elsewhere [08:22] zetheroo: If you have it make a quick php file in /var/www (iirc) that is basically phpinfo(); [08:22] most accurate [08:22] somsip: yeah this wont work taking a terminal up like this [08:22] moses_, I hope this might help you : http://blog.manoharbhattarai.com.np/2013/03/26/how-to-install-virtualbox-in-ubuntu/ [08:22] im trying to install ununtu from usb ?? i got the uusb installed ran it meny times but all i ever get it is droped to the boot command line [08:23] asking for img ?

Computer is stuck on the ubuntu loading screen shutting down [08:24] To open go to Applications->System Tools->Oracle VM VirtualBox(for Ubuntu<=10.10) and above that search for virtualbox or you can see an icon in the side bar. [08:24] where is this? [08:25] moses_: I'm no expert but iirc that is an older version of gnome / unity, go to top left and click the button to open lens and then search virtualbox [08:25] ok i installed ubuntu 13,04 to USB stick rebooted from windows and booted it but i get is droped the boot comand line [08:25] hd5770: "startx" [08:25] no [08:25] what is lens?

[08:28] x-: we are trying to determine which is the most up-to-date with PHP ... Debian or Ubuntu ... [08:28] x- : Nvidia or AMD? [08:28] nickbo: amd [08:28] fglrx-updates worked for years for me. [08:28] zetheroo: No idea. Find the php dirs and it may be in the php.ini, wild guess from me [08:28] nickbo: to fix no unity launcher? [08:29] The no unity is because of no 3D acceleration. [08:29] but like [08:29] there are no panels, no launcher [08:29] I know. [08:29] zetheroo: it depends which version of each. There is a rolling release of Debian (Sid?) that will be almost current. But the timed release could be old. And 12.04 is 5.3.10 but 13.04 might be something different [08:29] The best (from my AMD experience) drivers for AMD are fglrx-updates [08:29] apt-get fglrx-updates then? [08:30] Yes.

[08:32] What are the best proprietary drivers to install for an nvidia GTX 6xx GPU. [08:32] moses: You need the guest additions. [08:33] And Vbox to be part of your user group. [08:33] how do i do that? [08:33] moses_: you did sudo virtualbox to run it? [08:33] no i did not [08:33] should i?

[09:19] hi [09:19] histo, I have two audio cards on my computer. One is in built in motherboard and the other is in slot. These are both detected very well in ubuntu. But in backtrack linux only the inbuilt motherboard audio card is detected. I am trying to know what audio utility is installed in ubuntu by default? [09:19] can anyone tell me if its wise to have a cron job backup my database every 5 mins [09:19] will it cause any problems or performance issues [09:19] Here's the screenshot of this, http://i.imgur.com/2VZsV0C.png [09:19] pauldunn: How big is it and what format? [09:20] mysql about 160mb [09:20] Is it pulseaudio that is installed by default on fresh installation of ubuntu? [09:20] :) [09:20] !derivatives | wwwdotcom [09:20] wwwdotcom: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [09:20] I'm new to the Linux world. What would happen if I remove a core app in Ubuntu? For example, I tried to remove Document Viewer (Evince), and a warning was displayed. === Eric898 is now known as wowow [09:20] :) [09:20] wwwdotcom: What do you mean which audio utility? [09:20] pauldunn: what are you using to back it up? [09:20] where can I set the "innodb_buffer_pool_size" for MYSQL? [09:21] jony_easyrider: /etc/mysql/my.cnf [09:21] somsip: mysqldump [09:21] wwwdotcom: ubuntu has a bunch of pulseaudio stuff added [09:21] pauldunn: so you block access to the server every 5 mins to dump it? [09:22] I do it every hour but ideally I need to do it much more often, every 5 mins would be ideal [09:22] histo, by "audio utility", i mean which bare piece of code is interacting with cards? [09:22] pauldunn: what environment is it in - web server? in production? Or just a home backup? [09:22] somsip: mysqldump blocks access totally to the db :o [09:22] live web sever [09:22] I want to know the name of the driver in kernel that is performing this task. [09:22] !sound | wwwdotcom [09:22] wwwdotcom: If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings.

[09:22] niocora, thanks it work for me change de .xautoritary user [09:23] somsip, it's not there [09:23] pauldunn: if the traffic justifies that level of backup, you should be replicating to a slave and backing that up so users are not affected [09:23] jony_easyrider: add it [09:23] jony_easyrider: if it's a valid variable [09:23] it must be defined in percent or in MB? [09:23] somsip: hmm how do I do that? [09:23] somsip, it must be defined in percent or in MB? [09:23] jony_easyrider: no idea. It'll be on the mysql doc pages somewhere [09:24] wwwdotcom: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev [09:25] Okay, I installed nvidia-current and now I have a 640x480 rez screen area, but if I move the mouse to the bottom of the screen it scrolls down to the bottom of what would be the correct rez. I tried opening nvidia-settings, but I can't use the mouse to click on it at all. [09:25] pauldunn: This will give you an idea. You have some research to do though. Or you can just backup like you say, but it will not be nice for users doing it your way http://is.gd/dRXDqf [09:25] Hello, I'm trying to setup Network License Manager by Autodesk on Ubuntu, it says that officially support Red Hat 5.5. Using rpm I have install rpm package.. problem that when I try even run ./binary -v nothing happens [09:25] ... [09:25] somsip: thanks reading now [09:26] diimdeep: did you chmod +x the binary? [09:26] diimdeep: are you running it as the user or as root? [09:26] somsip: hmm this looks good, I guess I can do this so that my dev server is always up to date with live db ? [09:26] histo, thanks. By the way which terminal command is used to show which program/kernel module is interacting with which hardware component? [09:26] daftykins, when run as user [09:26] Network License Manager [09:26] as well as having a slave just for backup [09:27] pauldunn: yes, but if you write to dev, then it might throw a conflict and fall out of sync [09:27] daftykins, when run as user: zsh: no such file or directory: ./lmgrd [09:27] because of structure changes or some other reason? [09:27] wwwdotcom: lspci -k [09:28] daftykins, as root nothing happens [09:28] wwwdotcom: will show you which module is loaded [09:28] pauldunn: slave creates new user with id 123. master creates new user with id 123. Master sends binlog to slave to INSERT new user ID=123. Slave barfs. Like that [09:28] diimdeep: is zsh installed? [09:28] yeah [09:28] thanks!! [09:28] daftykins, maybe it's binary incompatibility ? [09:29] Actually, all my mouse-clicks are off. [09:29] diimdeep: is there a particular reason you want to avoid redhat? [09:29] daftykins, it too much work to do [09:29] to move on.. [09:29] somsip: ah ok. Well I can just use script that will mysqldump from the backup salve and script it to the dev server every day or something [09:29] wwwdotcom: I'm sure there is a way to see which files and system calls are using a device. You may want to ask in ##linux as I can't think of the name of the command at the moment [09:29] diimdeep: is the binary lmgrd? [09:30] daftykins, yes [09:30] hello i have a problem wit mi apple account i couldn't download any app can u help on that , oh may be my payment is expired [09:30] somsip: is this how most big sites duplicate and backup dbs? [09:30] diimdeep: "./lmgrd –c license_file_list –l debug_log_path" [09:30] Sure [09:30] pauldunn: that's the idea. The slave will halt replication, do the dump, then restart replication if you get it all working nicely. No users affected, full backup of DB if you need it. Job done [09:30] daftykins, it's not working [09:30] diimdeep: you realise you have to edit what i typed, right? [09:30] somsip: sounds good [09:30] pauldunn: It's how I do it. I've got got a few hundred thousand users across a couple of DBs [09:31] daftykins, of course [09:31] pauldunn: where are your servers hosted? [09:31] diimdeep: so you entered something like ~/ as the log path to see if it'll create any logs? [09:31] somsip: rackspace [09:31] k - this is offtopic to ok for pm? [09:31] somsip: sure [09:32] daftykins, yes, nothing happens.. [09:32] like it just not executed [09:33] diimdeep: right but you don't see any files created? can you pastebin "ldd lmgrd" ? [09:33] daftykins, http://pastebin.com/bCVJNAuU [09:34] when im in a terminal [09:34] why does it ~/ and not give the full directory? [09:34] knivez: because ~ is shorthand for /home/username/ [09:34] knivez: its a shorthand, ~ is $HOME is /home/$USER [09:34] oh ok TY [09:34] * daftykins high-fives ActionParsnip [09:35] ActionParsnip: hope you are well sir === babilen is now known as Guest55876 [09:35] * ActionParsnip uses the system variables :) [09:35] diimdeep: well that much is ok. assuming nothing has come up in system logs, you've tried 32 and 64-bit, there must be something specific to redhat somehow [09:36] daftykins, i hae triend both 32 and 64 [09:36] *have tried [09:36] some thing' [09:36] any ideas why ~/.pam_environment could stop working after updating to ubuntu 13.04?

[09:38] daftykins, http://pastebin.com/0GCkg8dM [09:39] //media [09:39] is that a real directory? [09:39] daftykins, http://pastebin.com/XjP8wBRr [09:40] diimdeep: any change in running it?

[09:41] rupert, sudo ./lmgrd -c Bender.lic -l /opt/flexnetserver/ [09:41] how do i find what the device name is for a usb stick? [09:41] diimdeep: why ./ tho? it should be installed system-wide right [09:41] diimdeep: does /opt/flexnetserver/ exist? [09:42] i have inside it [09:42] like the sdb path [09:42] knivez: what are you trying to do, in general? instead of asking questions at every single step? [09:43] diimdeep: ok so you're inside the /op/flexnetserver directory? And you're sure that there is an executable binary named lmgrd in there? [09:43] I am tring to create a raw hard disk from a usb stick [09:43] so i can boot from the USB stick [09:43] i have the command and everything [09:43] I just need to find a path to the USB stick [09:44] what OS are you in? [09:45] ubuntu [09:46] knivez: df -h in a terminal might show you, failing that "sudo fdisk -l" [09:46] knivez: then look for the same size drive as your flash drive [09:46] woot ty [09:46] first try [09:46] what is df -h? [09:47] rupert, daftykins http://i.imgur.com/IBqnVp2.png [09:47] knivez: enter it in a terminal, see what it does [09:48] Hi. I'm a seasoned Unix user, but I need to help a friend of mine who uses Ubuntu. [09:48] reports file system disk space usage [09:48] nnnnnooooo: what's the question then? [09:48] He used 11.10 and he recently tried to upgrade to 13.04. [09:48] I don't know if any of the people who helped me are still online, but, I wanted to say thank you. [09:48] nnnnnooooo: did he by any chance try to upgrade between those two versions directly? because that can't be done [09:48] Just got Ubuntu completely installed and running smoothly. [09:48] When he upgraded, the next time he booted, his screen was freezing (like when you din't have 3D acceleration) and he had no Internet (no nm-applet in the tray either) [09:49] daftykins: he told me he got a message === babilen_ is now known as Guest13520 [09:49] daftykins: asking him to upgrade [09:49] yeah imsoToxik we are on line [09:49] daftykins: and then he clicked "yes" a lot [09:49] your welcome [09:49] in any case, his computer now is unuseable, since he can't connect to the Internet and he doesn't have 3D acceleratio so Unity is going veeerry slow [09:49] I trieed to fix it for him [09:49] but I couldn't. [09:50] nm-applet wouldn't start [09:50] etc. [09:50] nnnnnooooo: hehe. uh-oh. well typically ubuntu upgrading has to go through every intermediary release, so from 11.10 it'd have to go to 12.04, 12.10, then 13.04. so perhaps somehow it's died. i'd try and save the /home and clean install 13.04 from a CD if that's what he wants to run [09:50] nnnnnooooo: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:50] daftykins: oh my [09:50] i see [09:50] nnnnnooooo: if you're feeling brave i guess you could try and fix it, but it might be too much work [09:50] i see [09:50] ok [09:51] thank you [09:51] whats the other one besides chmod? [09:51] chown [09:51] diimdeep: when you installed with alien, it mentioned: [09:51] Warning: Skipping conversion of scripts in package adlmflexnetserver: postrm [09:51] Warning: Use the --scripts parameter to include the scripts. [09:51] which is the one that takes rwx+ugo [09:52] diimdeep: so why not try --scripts ?

[09:57] jussi_: does it have a software center equivalent? or just use apt at command line [09:57] hello every one :) [09:57] ok thanks bye [09:57] hi! can someone please explain the difference between keepass2 and keepassx? === sta is now known as terpaksa [09:57] daftykins, no luck [09:57] daftykins: its not though nothing should be running the file [09:58] Hello everyone, [09:58] since three years I have an overheating problem with my thinkpad x201t running Ubuntu. I read hundreds of FAQs, Howtos and blog articles but couldn't find a solution yet. Is there anyone who could guide me through a troubleshooting process to identify the problem? === sta is now known as terpaksa [09:59] diimdeep: you can't run a binary like you did in your screenshot by the way, if you're definitely inside /opt/flexnetserver/ try "sudo ./lmgrd -c Bender.lic -l /opt/flexnetserver/" [10:00] daftykins, already [10:00] there is something else going one here .. [10:00] with ufw how can i just say, allow all traffic coming in and out from interface lxcbr0 ? I tried: ufw allow to any from any on lxcbr0 [10:01] !ufw | skroon [10:01] skroon: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. [10:01] diimdeep: are you sure it doesn't just launch silently? does 'ps axuw | grep lmgrd' show anything? [10:01] skroon: also what distro are you using?

There may be other differences, but it's why I chose keepassx [10:06] as diimdeep said keepassx is written in c++ [10:06] BobJonkman1: do you like keepassx? anything that annoys you? [10:06] is it possible to remove a core app (like evince) of ubuntu for an alternative app without corrupting the system? i've never tried it.. but want to remove evince for okular [10:07] jayantr7: okular will likely bring in quite a bit of kde dependencies [10:07] jayantr7: Just install okular, you don't have to remove evince to be able to do that. [10:07] summer723: keepassx doesn't seem to have the nice application integration that I saw in Lastpass. And I don't know enough crypto-math to be able to evaluate those two properly [10:08] BobJonkman1: is it ok to pm you? [10:08] Sure [10:08] Someone speaking spanish here?

[11:12] there is a command or a directory where this driver are stored? [11:12] is there ** === ubuntu is now known as Guest48375 [11:12] demonio: lsmod will show you what kernel modules are currently loaded [11:13] demonio: 'installed' or 'using'? 'installed' would be in /lib/modules for each kernel. 'using' would be 'lsmod' in a console. [11:13] demonio, depends which hardware the drivers are for [11:14] the problem is with my win8 the sound is more strong that with ubuntu so i think that there isn't the right drivers installed [11:15] open alsamixer in the terminal and turn up the volume ctrls , demonio [11:19] speaker is at max [11:20] demonio: Also check other values like 'PCM' or 'FRONT' 'Master' ... [11:28] hello everybody [11:29] Is there a shell command which gives me detailed information about a file? Like creation-, modify date, owner, ... [11:30] Oins: stat === graham is now known as Guest16620 [11:30] except beep all others are at max [11:30] i am using kernel 3.2.0.10 with nvidia 304 binary drivers and i want to upgrade my kernel to 3.9 and nvidia 310/319 is it possible? because i get dkms error everytime, is there a complete guide about it? [11:30] sorry 3.2.0.40 [11:30] Oins: state somefile [11:31] s/state/stat/ [11:31] ozcanesen: you should be able to use nvidia-current-updates to get a more updated nvidia driver [11:32] demonio: I don't know. It could be, that win8 is 'boosting' the output via siftware. You can also do that in the volume options. Did you try that once. just put the level over 100%. [11:32] ozcanesen: nvm provides 304.88 on 12.04 [11:32] histo, are you sure? i thought 310>304>current-updates>current [11:33] histo: thanks. Interesting, why is a file read not an access type: Access: 2013-05-30 13:23:49. But I read from that file at 13:30 [11:33] !info nvidia-current-updates precise [11:33] nvidia-current-updates (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-updates): NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel module and VDPAU library.

[11:33] minimec i'll try ,i've 13.04 version can i install skype? [11:33] histo, i am trying it now [11:34] when i try that apt-get says me that miss some dependence [11:34] dependences how can i install they? [11:34] histo: ext4 [11:34] Oins: do you have it mounted with the noatime option? [11:34] demonio: you can. Enable the 'partner' repository in the software sources for 'skype' [11:34] Does ext4 not support the "birth date" of a file? [11:35] Oins: it is the last modification usually [11:36] histo: Not sure, but don't think so: mount gives me "/dev/mapper/sda1c on / type ext4 (rw,errors=remount-ro)" [11:36] clcto: but for Modify, i have an other timestamp with stat. [11:36] the modify and access timestamp differs [11:39] Oins: access is the last time files was accessed. modify is last time it was modified. Changed is last time file status changed like the inode nubmer etc... [11:39] Oins: Is there a reason you need the time values? [11:39] Oins: they shouldn't be trusted for certain things. [11:40] minimec i want try to make all by terminal [11:40] can i do that? [11:41] demonio: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list [11:41] demonio: ok. 'sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list' and remove the '#' for the 'partner' line in the file. [11:41] histo: no, not especially. I like to know when /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db was updated last. But I was astounded, that the Access date does not change after I used locate. [11:42] demonio: uncomment the partner repo and then sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype [11:42] ew nano. use vim [11:42] demonio: then 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype' [11:42] oh ok thanks histo and minimec [11:42] Oins: I believe it's called daily to update by cron [11:42] demonio: that's probably it. [11:43] minimec, is that a good idea? when installing skype that way mine wont remember its settings [11:43] histo: I liked to check this and it's updated today. but I was confused, that the access date does not change while reading the file. [11:43] should i uncomment all paths? [11:43] histo: anyway [11:44] demonio: no just the partner repo [11:44] ok [11:44] Znoosey: Why should it? your settings are in the .Skype folder in your home directory... [11:44] demonio: you don't need the deb-src for the partner repo unless you want the packages source from there [11:44] minimec, i have no idea... but that is what happened [11:44] any tips on how to change the grub2 colour scheme. im in ubuntu 13.04 [11:45] Znoosey: Could it be, that there was a mayor version change, and settings are stored in a different way?

[12:06] so i removed it and now i'm installing ia32 lib [12:07] histo: yes, they said to ask here [12:07] demonio: ok. that should work now.

[12:09] ichat: you don't need to type the whole thing to get it appear [12:09] histo, I think so yes. It has done that before I reinstalled Ubuntu as well, but it wasn't that much of a problem since I used the ethernet plug a lot. But now that I need to stitch my files together (you might remember from the other day) I need a reliable cable connection.

[12:12] Thats why I fiddled around a lot, decrypted the files with gpg and extracted the difftar files and wrote a script that stitches the files together. Has been a lot of work. [12:12] auronandace, the issue is when you also maintain a lot of windows machines (sadly) ... your automagically start with cmd or cli when you need the terminal and 9 of 10 ten times (im an idiot i know), im like god why doesn't this work.... ow wait its terminal not cli [12:12] histo, are there any kind of logs from linux that may help?

[12:44] ubuntu server varies very slightly from ubuntu [12:45] clcto: It doesnt differ at all :) It uses a server kernel (from the repos) and it doesnt have X preinstalled. Thats all. [12:45] Actually and surprisingly, I'm still getting updates to ancillary programs. I believe that the actual EOL for desktop was May 9th; even got a kernel update "after" that date. Go figure.. [12:46] Sidewinder: That depends on the kernel you are using. [12:46] Sidewinder: like with respect to packages that are still supported on server [12:46] bekks: so, you named 2 differences and said it doesnt differ at all, that makes no sense [12:47] auronandace, Probably, I just let it go ahead and 'do it's thing', if you know what I mean. :) [12:47] * clcto never listens to bekks again [12:47] hi [12:47] i want to change [12:47] clcto: Everything in the repo isnt considered to be a difference.

[13:41] Sp3D: Yeah, only new downloads are affected, not currently running ones.

[13:46] woof73, yes gnome tweak tool is the best [13:47] question: I have a domain that I purchased from Godaddy.com. It comes with one email address info@domain.com If I use Zentyal as mailserver, I can now create as many email address as I want, correct? [13:47] TheUsD: If thats permitted, yes.

[13:48] TheUsD: Yes. [13:48] bekks: do you have any experience with godaddy, and a way to find that out by looking in your account? Or just have to call them? [13:49] TheUsD: I never had anything to do with them. [13:49] unity blows, gnome shell blows :( [13:50] woof73, install openbox, it's great [13:50] judahlion: isn't that extremely hard to do?

[13:51] dichotoPangea: probably libmp3lame -ab 128k [13:51] bekks , are you sure that your bootloader is grub ? because its seens it works fine. [13:51] soffry [13:51] woof73, I'm not a computer geak or something and I managed to do it , there is a good guide I found, give me a sec, I will search it [13:51] woof73, Thanks. [13:51] hs: Mine is grub. 101% sure. [13:52] bekks , sorry i was talking to maocheia [13:52] zykotick9: uh oh! [13:52] moacheia , are you sure that your bootloader is grub ? because its seens it works fine. [13:52] Changing that to any of the bitrates I've been given is giving me the same error. [13:53] moacheia , no clue after that, i think others will assist you or goto askubuntu , have to attend a fewnarul [13:53] see you latter. [13:53] woof73: xfce and lxde are alternative "desktop environments" you might also want to try. these are all just an apt-get away, BTW. [13:53] dichotoPangea: -acodec libmp3lame = audio codec, -ab = audio bitrate, 128k = bitrate [13:54] Here's command and output: http://pastebin.com/PrWQVvDc [13:54] zykotick9: have you used them? [13:55] woof73: yes. personally, i use awesome (another windows manager only). i'm not really a fan of desktop environments anymore. [13:55] TheUsD, you can, but if you do that, the one preconfigured by go daddy will have to be reconfigured for the other mail server, and you won't access it through go daddy mail interfaces, obviously. [13:55] zykotick9: hmm! [13:56] woof73:i use cinnamon [13:56] eoo: why? [13:56] geeks! [13:56] moacheia what messages do you get when you run "sudo update grub" without the quotes of course. [13:56] woof73, here's the link for openbox http://pastebin.com/QfDE2YkM [13:57] mladoux: it's "update-grub" [13:57] zykotick9, yeah, but a normal user can't run update-grub, you have to be root. [13:57] hence, sudo [13:57] woof73: because its neater than gnome-shell [13:57] woof73, Here's command and output: http://pastebin.com/PrWQVvDc [13:57] oh [13:57] typo [13:57] lol [13:57] zykotick9, nvm, i'm stupid [13:57] mladoux: what I'm looking to do is instead of paying them X amount of money per month for a few more email addresses, is to just have my own mail server so I can use outlook or any-other mail program. [13:58] !ot [13:58] #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! [13:58] judahlion: thanks! i'll bookmark it eoo: explain :) dichotoPangea: i saw that, but i'm not sure what's going on [13:58] TheUsD, you can definitely do that, godaddy gives you dns control, just point the mx record at the new mail server. [13:58] woof73: use cinnamon for yourself, and then you will understand :) [13:58] It's okay, I can just record without audio then record audio and Openshot it. [13:59] eoo: is cinnamon a package in ubuntu? [13:59] TheUsD, go daddy just won't be managing ANY of your mail anymore, so keep that in mind, and I'd definitely read up on mail servers before doing it. [13:59] zykotick9: no, but there is a ppa for it [13:59] maldoux: since I am learning all of this as we speak, would the mx record be my IP or whatever name I give it, ex: myserver.mydomain.com [14:00] woof73: using an out of repo DE might not be the best suggestion (re: cinnamon), ie. it's not supported in #ubuntu if you have issues. [14:01] zykotick9: i just found cinnamon in the ubuntu software center :/ [14:01] http://pastebin.com/P5VeT4Jn [14:01] woof73, Canonical does not provide updates for cinnamon [14:02] woof73: the version of cinnamon in the ubuntu repo is very ol [14:02] TheUsD you'll want to use the domain name. so mail.mydomainname.tld for your mx record [14:02] old [14:02] TheUsD you can use the IP, but I really don't want to get into the logistics of that ( mostly end user issues ) [14:02] mladoux: what does the .tld stand for? [14:03] BluesKaj: aha! eoo: aha! [14:03] top level domain ( that's .com .net .org )\ [14:03] TheUsD: Top Level Domain is my guess [14:03] Anyone out there good at getting Windows8 to play nice with Ubuntu? I installed 13.04 next to Windows and lost ability to boot into Windows. I then did the restore feature and got windows back. I can boot into Ubuntu using the SuperGrub2 disc so I need to change grub somehow but don't know how. [14:03] and i get exactly the same output with the command 'sudo update grub2' [14:03] brb gimme 5 min [14:04] maocheia: are you using "sudo update-grub"? or "sudo update grub"? [14:04] opentrans: install boot-repair :) [14:04] I have made bad experiences with boot-repair. [14:05] zykotick9, sudo update-grub [14:05] maocheia: fyi, update-grub and update-grub2 are the same thing. [14:05] It works now with super grub2 but, for some reason, the cds aren't lasting. I've made 3 so far [14:06] Do you have to have a login manager to save your session after logout? or can it be done another way with no dm at all? [14:06] zykotick9: lol ether way it doesnt solve my problem [14:07] If grub was functioning at all, wouldn't I get the grub screen? I don't get any now and it goes straight to windows [14:08] maocheia: do you have more then one gnu/linux distros or versions installed on this box? [14:08] guys... is it risky to install custom gnome themes? can they include malicious stuff inside their themes? [14:08] zykotick9 : no [14:08] eoo Will boot repair let me just inspect grub first? [14:08] i'm trying to install my epson printer but when i type sudo dpkg -i pakage.deb the terminal return that i should install lsb so when i type sudo apt-get install lsb it returns this http://pastebin.com/JZk8vTgF [14:09] opentrans: inspect grub? === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [14:09] opentrans: it has an os prober [14:10] okay, I'm back... [14:10] demonio, install build-essentials instead [14:10] deminio: run apt-get install -f [14:10] Killcraft: Whatever DE you have does that in a self-contained way independent of the login. So if you even just did startx from commandline and had your desktop environment set to save your session on logout, it would still do that [14:10] ok ichat [14:10] eoo it doesn't work [14:10] eoo Yeah, I don't want to have a script just take over and write a new grub and destroy windows again. It takes hours to rebuild. I would like to see if or what Grub has there now and be given the options of what to do. [14:10] maocheia: this is about a grub2 theme... waste of time IMO. good luck. [14:11] opentrans: It wont destroy anything.. it only installs grub [14:11] opentrans: to the mbr [14:11] demonia if i somehow mistyped the package name than google for it you'd be able to find the right package from there [14:11] demonio: install 'gdebi' Gdebi will resolv the dependencies for your .deb package. [14:11] My webcam works in Cheese. It doesn't work in Skype. The preload technique doesn't work because I've only got the 64-bit libv4l installed. How do I install the 32-bit ones alongside? [14:12] k, eoo. I'll give it a try. Thanks [14:12] (on 13.04) [14:12] TheUsD, you should really look at this article before going forward. http://www.pixelinx.com/2010/10/creating-a-mail-server-on-ubuntu-using-postfix-courier-ssltls-spamassassin-clamav-and-amavis/ <-- it'll give you an idea of what you're in for.

[14:21] ok tkx [14:21] TheUsD, yes i can [14:22] binkii: can't you install the drivers directly from the manufacturers website [14:22] ichat, which would be the best route to use? Zentyal or the built in ubuntu software? [14:22] TheUsD, how did you get to that information about it not being able to provide a mail server ... === ylloluis is now known as NETfellow [14:23] TheUsD, that depends on the rest of your software requirements and your intended use [14:23] I didnt come to a conclusion, but every link that shows me how to create a mail server does not include Zentyal, I like GUI interfaces. [14:24] TheUsD there's also tasksel (non-GUI) [14:25] TheUsD, than read thair website it has some documentation ... the question is on what kind of intended use.... for example hosted email (as part of webhosting, is a no go... but as part as a home or company network is definately supported [14:26] what happens if one thread is writing an image to a file, and in the middle of the write another tries to read it? [14:26] yeah I have a small business I am trying to start up and would like to have my own mail server then paying godaddy for more email accounts. [14:29] theusb zentyal is like a small buisness network server (with firewall / mail serverss / samba (file sharing) and loads of that... if that is what your looking for try thair zentyal.org website and have a better look at it... there are virtual machines avail so you can test drive without having to intall... [14:29] TheUsD hmmm... I don't see why it couldn't be used for a mail server. [14:30] sorry for the delay, someone chose to skype me just now.

[14:38] hi [14:38] hi all [14:39] iraj, greetings === manu is now known as Guest64142 [14:39] greetings [14:40] what is the most user friendly flavour of ubuntu? [14:41] i like 13.04 [14:41] iraj: 10.4 imo, but that one is outdated [14:41] i meant flavours like kubuntu, xubuntu, etc. [14:42] iraj, no way to answer as each user has their own preferences. [14:42] iraj: They are just different default desktop environments, you can install the alternate desktops on any given version of ubuntu. [14:42] iraj: Pretty much depends on what you find most friendly, It'd be a good idea to download each iso and run a live dvd/usb of them to see which suits you best [14:42] ok, i installed crossover, managed to install graphics driver, but eveonline stalls at the launcher, any help plz? [14:43] binkii: -> winehq [14:43] jhutchins_wk: so how to compile this one? [14:43] i have tried winehq but there is nothing that helps [14:43] flavours ?, Kubuntu is no longer supported by canonical , it development now been taken up by BlueSystems [14:43] Mosterd: Since we don't have anything to do do with the matlab distribution files, and I personally don't use it, it's hard to answer that question here. [14:43] but its not hard to load up kde [14:44] Mosterd: I believe they offer extensive support through their own channels. [14:44] thanks all [14:46] hey all [14:46] can i switch the default selected soundcard ? without a reboot ? [14:46] jhutchins_wk: frankly, I hate matlab [14:47] Duality: yes. in the audio settings. [14:47] but since mex is a wrapper around g++, I think the steps to solve this problem aren't really matlab related [14:48] minimec: so where can i find the audio settings i forgot to mention i am in command line [14:48] is possible install a printer by terminal? [14:49] Duality: oh. I guess you would have to use some pulseaudio command line tool. I don't know them very well... === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [14:50] Duality: I you don't use pulseaudio, then search the net for 'alsa default device' === me is now known as Guest66451 [14:59] failed to install no-ip.com [14:59] package not found [15:00] khoo i website is not something you can download and install, try a client for no-ip [15:00] monkey i downloaded the client [15:01] !details | khoo [15:01] khoo: Please give us full details.

So you have to find an external package source which offers gtk 3.8. [15:25] dew234234: And since I don't know any, you have to google yourself... [15:25] statl: I've already found and downloaded it, but how do I install everything?! [15:26] streulma great! the goal is to constantly improve! [15:26] dew234234: i'd guess gtk 3.8 might break your gnome... proceed with caution. [15:26] dew234234 if it's not in the repos, it's not supported [15:26] Fine! [15:27] Thanks for answering. Bye. [15:31] hey [15:31] why firefox in ubuntu does n't display the font correctly while it displays correctly in windows 7 === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [15:32] can anyone help me, I am facing 2 problems when running crash on a vmcore [15:33] anyone use teamviewer for linux and have constant troubles signing into the buddy list? I have several computers with this trouble and get a message that says the server didn't respond, a timeout has occurred. [15:37] question: Hi,i have problem with running script sh. When i'm trying to do "sh filename" or "./filename" i have answer like "+ set -e" and "+ test -r linux.config". I'm thinking that problem is missing linux.config but i don't know what is it? Is "linux.config" a file ? [15:37] mladoux: when setting up this mail server, is there any pre-configuration that needs to be done so gmail or etc.. knows how to talk to my mail server? [15:37] dryicebomb: There is nothing we can do about the servers of teamviewer. [15:38] right, the servers work fine, the issue only happens on Ubuntu. [15:38] Rungratsamee: It is your script, you should know what you are testing for ;) Yes, it is a file. [15:38] It is not my script : ). Where can i find linux.config? [15:38] on windows and linux mint, i have zero issues. I have submitted a ticket to them (i'm a paying customer) but haven't heard back, just thought someone else might have experienced the same trouble [15:38] is there any way to check the command as true or false ? [15:39] dryicebomb: Is your firewall configured to allow traffic on ports 80/443/5938 ? [15:39] I'm trying to install a script called open-transactions. It has a java client that I'm trying to figure out if it is even working properly because it looks entirely different in the tutorials. If it is an Ubuntu/Java issue it would be nice if someone here can help me determine that [15:40] bekks, yes, I initially thought it was a firewall issue, and have tried it with the firewall disabled, it made no difference. === Guest14125 is now known as eddieq [15:41] why firefox in ubuntu does n't display the font correctly while it displays correctly in windows 7 [15:41] It started after I upgraded to Teamviewer 8, I didn't have any issues with 7 [15:41] One potential issue, the install had me install java6 instead of the new java7. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 [15:41] killer: Which font? [15:41] killer: which font [15:41] killer is the font installed in ubuntu? [15:42] where can i find file "linux.config"? [15:42] firefox does n't display the content correctly [15:42] Rungratsamee: Where your script searches for it. [15:42] killer: what font are you using? [15:42] how can i install my wifi printer by terminal? [15:42] i don't understand... [15:43] Rungratsamee: where are you expecting to find it? [15:43] Rungratsamee there's no such file I know of [15:43] i have script which i downloaded [15:43] Rungratsamee: so it should be in downloads [15:44] so what does it mean "set -e" and "test -r linux.config"? [15:44] firefox is using serif [15:45] Rungratsamee: "set" sets a shell option, and "test" is a command, which uses the options "-r linux.config" [15:45] killer: Serif of what? Serif is a font style, not a specific font :) [15:46] i know it, but if i downloaded script from official website, why i can't run it ? [15:46] lopio [15:46] Rungratsamee: How can we know what someone else intended to script? === nicki is now known as r00t [15:46] Rungratsamee, maybe you should give the permission [15:46] with chmod [15:46] I'm trying to install a script called open-transactions. It has a java client that I'm trying to figure out if it is even working properly because it looks entirely different in the tutorials. Could someone help me determine If it is an Ubuntu/Java issue? One potential issue, the script install had me install java6 instead of the new java7. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 === r00t is now known as ^_^ [15:47] i'm as root === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [15:47] quick question. how do I save output of telnet to a log file? === ^_^ is now known as o_0 === o_0 is now known as ` === ` is now known as o^0 [15:48] Rungratsamee: Whats the entire output of that script?

I don't want to paste all of instructions there [15:49] Rungratsamee: pastebin [15:49] what is it? [15:49] Rungratsamee, or paste.ubuntu.com [15:49] sudo apt-get install pastebinit; pastebinit name-of-script-here [15:49] ok wait a second [15:50] ntzrmtthihu777: doing telnet 2>&1 | tee ~/telnet.txt should work [15:50] yeah, I just figured it out with the tee, I think :P [15:50] I'm trying to find a twitter client showing notifications (Ubuntu 13.04), I tried birdie, hotot, polly, but they are showing nothing. The only one that works is Turpial. Is it me or the new ubuntu version? [15:51] there is this script: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5717144/ [15:51] insulamsimia: yep, that did the trick. debugging my router, telnetted into it [15:51] Pcea: doesn't gwibber do that? [15:51] who has Ubuntu installed on a Mac ? [15:52] ntzrmtthihu777: Good :) [15:52] matanya: I tried the new "Gwibber" client (Friends), not working too x) [15:52] Greetings. I want to install call of duty here, and I have to burn onto a DVD. The question: Should I extract the content or just burn as downloaded? === MonkeyDu1t is now known as MonkeyDust [15:52] Pcea: seems like it is you then :) [15:52] Strucker: not a piracy channel, if thats what your after [15:52] !list | Strucker [15:52] Strucker: ntzrmtthihu777: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [15:52] Strucker, if it is an ISO file, just burn it as is [15:53] I'll install with play on linux. [15:53] matanya: Yeah but this is weird, because turpial notifications are working well, but crappy UI :-/ [15:53] I need a media! [15:53] heh. I write for POL. they have a channel. [15:53] Strucker: if you have the iso already just mount it to install. [15:54] i agree Pcea [15:54] Strucker: if its an .iso file, you can just mount it, [15:54] Rungratsamee: your script checks for a specific file. By default, there is no such file using ubuntu. I guess you have to contact the author of the script regarding this issue. [15:54] ntzrmtthihu777: I do not want "piracy" anything. Happened that came as a windows program. [15:54] cam as a windows program .exe [15:54] *came [15:54] so i can do nothing? [15:54] Rungratsamee: You can. You can contact the author. [15:55] How do I view an image without leaving the terminal? [15:55] SrPx: You cant. [15:55] I cannot install directly with wine. I got an error. [15:55] bekks: but how I'm supposed to stop using the mouse if I have to open a gui window to see an image? [15:55] but it is strange. I saw, that another people installed it without problems, may be problem is in my system ? [15:55] SrPx or try gnome-open [file] [15:56] So, I have to install inserting a media to install with play on linux. [15:56] SrPx: That question doesnt make any sense to me. [15:56] SrPx: ranger uses libcaca to "show" images in coloured ascii. [15:56] bekks: what doesn't make sense for you? [15:56] SrPx: Your last question. [15:56] zykotick9: eh... [15:56] SrPx, that you want to STOP using the mouse [15:56] why it doesn't make sense? [15:56] SrPx: LEaving the terminal implies "back to X Windows" which implies "using a mouse". [15:57] Can i just burn an executable file in a media? (.exe) ?? [15:57] bekks: doesn't it? [15:57] SrPx: if you mean linux-console, you can use fbi to view images in framebuffer [15:57] Strucker, yes you can [15:57] SrPx: For me, it does imply that. [15:57] zykotick9: i'll google that! [15:57] ObrienDave: Are you sure body? [15:57] Strucker: Yes. You can burn all files you want onto a media. [15:57] bekks: exactly, so if I don't want to use the mouse I can't leave the terminal. Not sure what you didn't understand [15:58] Strucker, yes you can burn the .exe file to media. it's just data [15:58] Strucker: That doesn answer ther question wether those files will be recognized as valid installation media. [15:58] SrPx: Without using the mouse, you cant do it. [15:58] bekks: I will can INSTALL a by this way? It is about a game installation in a linux system! [15:59] *do i smell trolls?* [15:59] * SrPx sighs [15:59] i wish trolls smelled like bacon [16:00] Strucker: Actually its an issue wether your files will be recognized as an installation media. Just an .exe file isnt a valid installation media for a game like yours. [16:00] SrPx: install something like gpicview, and gpicview /path/file.png [16:01] bekks: Ok. The POL ask for a media to install the game. I'm going to try it anyway. Thank you. [16:01] somsip: why gpicview particularly? [16:02] Strucker: Whats "POL"? [16:02] PLAY ON LINUX [16:02] bekks: Play On Linux [16:02] SrPx: an example. [16:02] 4 param logistic [16:02] somsip: oh ok [16:02] SrPx: the 'something like' is the clue there [16:02] SrPx: if you want an image viewer for Xorg, check out feh, it's very minimal. [16:03] easy [16:03] Strucker: Why dont you order an official installation media? [16:03] SrPx: also for a non-mouse Xorg, you might want to check out ratpoison as a WM. [16:03] you need to right click on mosue [16:03] Guest45034: And then? :) In a terminal, there is no mouse :) [16:04] zykotick9: ok, thank you! [16:04] bekks: fyi, gpm provides some mouse support in linux-console [16:05] very good [16:05] can recommend someone some guide for install a printer by terminal? [16:05] zykotick9: Yeah, I know. But SrPx doesnt want to use a mouse at all. [16:05] !printing | demonio [16:05] demonio: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups.

[16:28] I have two problems. Grub is not working due to fakeraid (dell xps 1730) it would not install to dev/sda so i choose the next alternative in dropdown list named raid something mapper? So super grub cd solves this temporary but i also get a blank screen login into ubuntu. During install i had to use nomodeset alternative. But where to get past this now with super grub [16:29] Who here uses Ubuntu without Unity? [16:29] how can I run a command without opening the terminal, is alt+f2 ? Because I'm trying to run eclipse as sudo, without opening a terminal [16:29] yeah it is [16:29] chro what de do you use?

[16:45] ltsampros, d/l the live CD/DVD and re-install [16:45] ltsampros: I'd restore the backup you've hopefully taken before. If not, boot a live cd, and backup your data, then reinstall. [16:46] lol. === sun is now known as Guest55961 [16:46] ltsampros: That was no joke. [16:46] no way to fix this huh? [16:46] save yourself some trouble, do a real install if you must, but keep to precise for stability. [16:46] Hello, is there a way to identify which application generates a specific log file ? ( e.g test.log ) [16:46] ltsampros: its very rarely that I hear of someone doing it right. [16:46] bal: So whoch log are you talking about, in detail? [16:46] i've done already in 3 laptops :/ [16:47] and I just needed this upgrade in order to go to a newer kernel. nfs client support was buggy in this one [16:47] ltsampros, ubuntu failed to upgrade from 12.10? :O wonder if it will fail for me too... [16:47] bekks, I have to truncate a log file, its called server_sync.log, I thinkg this has been renamed [16:47] ltsampros, using a live CD you can upgrade the existing installation [16:48] ObrienDave: I was thinking to revert my old sources.list [16:48] bal: Then show us a few lines of its content, maybe we can guess it. [16:48] downgrade the 2-3 packages that got upgraded [16:48] my backups saved my life today [16:48] bekks, I can't since its private data :( [16:48] system works as it is right now with no probs [16:48] bal: Then we cant help you, after te log file was renamed. [16:48] Whats the main difference between the server and the cloud version of ubuntu? [16:49] joachimhs better ask that in #ubuntu-offtopic [16:49] joachimhs, afaik there is no "cloud" edition [16:50] Is there also a "+mac.iso" of the 13.04 image? [16:50] !cloud | ObrienDave [16:50] ObrienDave: The Ubuntu Enterprise Cloud (UEC), powered by Eucalyptus, is highly configurable and customizable to a variety of environments. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEC [16:50] joachimhs the cloud is a concept, not a distro or so [16:50] If there server image I mean, or is that only available for the desktop version [16:50] MonkeyDust: OK [16:51] how can I rapidly move files over to another nas over afp or samba ? [16:51] streulma: Neither AFP nor Samba are known to be high-speed protocols :) [16:52] streulma: I'd use FTP, which has less overhead. [16:53] streulma rsync is fast [16:53] rsync uses ssh or ftp. [16:54] And due to the encryption of ssh, ssh isnt that fast. [16:54] you can use rsync without ssh [16:55] i use rsync for my backups, not over ssh, to external usb [16:55] hola [16:57] fixed [16:58] What is a sequence of commands that does general clean-up on a non-production, development laptop? I am using: apt-get update && apt-get update (yes, twice) && apt-get upgrade && apt-get autoremove && apt-get autoclean [17:00] i'm getting mount.nfs4: mounting 192.168.1.10:/mnt/raid2 failed, reason given by server: No such file or directory [17:01] fuck it , need a vhost [17:01] vintageseltzer: Thats NFS4, not NFS3, right? [17:01] the server has the correct export though [17:01] right [17:01] any need help [17:01] :/ [17:01] hello [17:01] bekks: i'm trying both [17:01] G00d455: Thats not something this channel can help you with [17:01] vintageseltzer: So it exports it for nfs4, and not for nfs3 only? [17:01] i just installed apache2 [17:01] but i can't write in /var/www [17:01] Is there a big difference between the desktop and the server version? [17:01] how do i get the write permission for that folder? [17:01] how do you download pony porn in ubuntu? [17:02] XDD [17:02] ? [17:02] joachimhs: The server edition uses a server kernel and has no GUI preinstalled. === GingerGeek[Away] is now known as GingerGeek [17:02] bekks the exports are set up as nfs3 [17:03] vintageseltzer: For nfs4, you need different options, dont you? [17:03] hello plz how to use ssh server [17:03] bekks: this is the export line /mnt/raid2 flush(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) [17:03] vintageseltzer: That looks like a NFS3 export line. [17:04] !ssh | kid1412 [17:04] kid1412: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [17:04] bekks: it should work for nfs4 as well [17:04] hi all. how to delete recent videos in Totem? thank you. [17:05] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NFSv4Howto [17:05] bekks: Thanks [17:06] hi guys. does anyone know whether ubuntu and/or debian keep log of packages that come in and out the repositories? [17:07] hmm. now here is a question, can you set up a chron job to telnet your router while writing the output to a log with | tee, run a few commands, and log back out? [17:08] ubottu: tnx !! [17:08] kid1412: ubottu is a bot, lol. thank bekks who pointed the info at you :P [17:08] ntzrmtthihu777: Create a script, that does all that (telnet, pipe to tee, etc) and then setup a cron job for it. [17:08] and ssh is easy enough once you set it up right. [17:09] hey [17:09] bekks: problem is I have to execute a few commands after logging into the telnet session (you know, inside the machine I telnetted to) [17:09] lool [17:09] just installed 13.04 fresh on a new machine and, after some time, when I start an application the window appears, but is hung. i started pidgin with gdb because it does this consistently. gdb shows three LWP threads starting, but nothing happens [17:11] ubuntu bug #1 has been closed!

[17:13] trism: thanks.

[17:14] in 13.04 [17:15] llutz: telnet blahblah | tee log.txt did the trick for me, lol. oh, you said read, not write [17:16] very interesting, I could try it right now before setting up the chron job, right? [17:17] ntzrmtthihu777: you always should make sure your commands work before using them in cronjobs [17:18] lets see, so just parenthesis? [17:18] hi all. from Android I can share Videos on my smartTv. how to the share Videos from my Ubuntu laptop to my SmartTV ? thank you. [17:19] DaVinciIT: Depends on the protocol your TV accepts. [17:19] DLNA [17:19] sometimes I can't get to the menus for transmission. I minimize, restore, move window to another desktop etc. Isn't there a key combination to open the menus? [17:19] (I suppose) Android find it automatically. [17:20] DaVinciIT: Then you need some DLNA server on Ubuntu, like minidlna. [17:20] thank you. [17:20] just installed 12.10 and u-pgraded to 13.04 (I think) but cannot get videos on youtube to play. do I need to do something else? [17:21] why did bug #1 get closed?

[18:23] download it then you open link and it should work [18:23] AymanB, got to preferences, set display to automatic [18:23] ayman [18:23] soy_el_pulpo yes i did [18:23] ObrienDave, I don't remember why but I discarded gwenview. [18:23] soyel pulpo [18:23] is it good to have seperated partitions like: /home /usr /var /tmp? [18:24] ObrienDave, there's no automatic :( [18:24] on *:CONNECT: { [18:24]  mode $me +x [18:24] } [18:24] dreckstrikcer [18:24] AymanB, which version of Vbox? [18:24] dk [18:24] AymanB, display redetection? [18:24] version [18:24] In fact, screensaver GLslideshow does just want I want. But... any way to start it like an app? I have 4 monitor connect to the box and I want to start animation on 3 monitors. [18:24] kelme: consider a seperate /home [18:25] ObrienDave, 4.2.12 [18:25] any mdadm gurus awake? [18:25] I would like to start the screensaver on 3 monitor even if I'm working on the 4th... [18:25] AymanB, may sound silly, but didi you reboot after that? [18:25] AymanB, same as me. yes, there is an automatic setting in preferences. [18:25] soy_el_pulpo ,, nope .. so such thing on the display panel [18:25] kelme: Depending the size of your harddisk give about 20GB to '/' (including swap-file maybe), the rest to '/home' === mikestewart is now known as MediaDoneRight [18:26] soy_el_pulpo ,, yes i did many times .. also reinstalled the additions [18:26] AymanB, what is your client? most of them have something like "detect displays" [18:26] AymanB , ok... [18:27] Gudn Abend! [18:27] I have ubuntu 13.04 and you tube is telling me that i need to install a flash player but when i try i dont know how to ..... any ideas? [18:27] AymanB, http://en.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-05302013-112619am.php [18:27] kelme, if you are a desktop user and you won't use LVM and you don't play with partition sizes ever I see no reason why you should use more than one partition. [18:27] dick: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [18:28] soy_el_pulpo ,, well, im running vbox on win7 , it's updated to the latest ver. and the vm guest is xubuntu 13.04 .... i stated having probs when i upgraded my software [18:28] AymanB, have you tried with 12.04? [18:28] ezra-s: kelme: i usually put /home on a separate partition so that i can re-install the OS without losing my /home directory. [18:28] minimec, thanks [18:29] AymanB, I noticed that some things do not work well in 13.xx [18:29] ezra-s i can partition but curious what they are useful for? === Lemon is now known as Guest66708 [18:29] ezra-s: kelme: I have my seperate /home, bacause I may want to reinstall your system, without touching my data.

[18:36] ObrienDave ..when i scale ... it just zooooms the screen ... [18:37] ObrienDave .. i wanst talking about this ! [18:38] AymanB, ok, if you want to change the desktop resolution. you need to change it in display settings [18:38] AymanB, using the Ubuntu settings [18:38] ObrienDave .. i think you got me wrong .... when you install the addition, and enter in fulscreen mode , the guest resolution changes automaticly to fit in ,, it doesnt zoom in [18:40] AymanB, is this related: http://askubuntu.com/questions/23053/resizable-screen-mode-for-virtualbox-behaves-strange-with-ubuntu-as-guest [18:40] I would like to start GLslideshow from screensaver on a second monitor while I'm working on the first one...

[18:41] good! btw, it's not ubuntu-related [18:41] AymanB, ok, yea, i've seen that before. checking [18:41] ObrienDave .. and now, when i change the resolution from the display settings, and say for example to 1280x700 it doesnt change [18:42] r0x: Then don't ask here. #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics. [18:42] k! [18:42] what is the command to list all files on my computer not accounted for by a package? [18:43] I'm just upgrading to 10.04, and I figure I should clean up [18:43] faceface, I doubt there is such thing, but if you find it out, let me know [18:43] i can not open compizconfig setting manager? what should i do [18:43] ezra-s: defo for yum there is [18:43] so I figure there should be an apt for that [18:43] AymanB, under view, is 'auto-resize guest display' grayed out? [18:43] faceface, I don't know but If there is I am interested too [18:44] btw: what is the reason for which unity crashes 3 times in a day? [18:45] r0x: which version of Ubuntu? [18:45] r0x, that's not true, may be true for you and your system, but not true in general, does not happen to me [18:45] r0x: have you checked your logs? [18:45] 12.04.2 LTS [18:45] ObrienDave, Ohhh greaaattt if fact it was !! god, how did i forget to check it!! thanks so so so much ObrienDave really [18:46] ObrienDave, You're awesome , tahnks for this patience with me [18:46] r0x, you should also be more specific if you want to solve your problem [18:46] AymanB, no prob [18:46] ObrienDave, :D [18:46] r0x: which kind of crashes? [18:47] it seems that the problems occurs randomly [18:47] aother case solved using freenode!!! lol [18:47] another [18:47] faceface, ezra-s: You can take a look at the .list files in /var/lib/dpkg/info/ - they contain the files that were installed by each package, you'd need to use find and diff together to compare them to what is in your system. This won't include any files that were created by post-install procedures though. [18:47] dipra: ubuntu show me a windows where it say that unity had a problem [18:47] r0x, do you know which program exactly is being reported as crashing? and if there is no crash report, have you checked .xsession-errors?

It's a 6 yr old Dell desktop and I'm considering a cpu upgrade [18:48] uh... [18:48] r0x, have you played with ccsm before the crashes, or is it a new install? [18:49] r0x: And so? Ubuntu tries to gather some informations after a crash, It's needed to attach here [18:49] it has been so long since the last time I used IRC, just got in today after a while and I saw action [18:49] ClientAlive, find out your cpu type [18:49] hi all [18:49] alien command not found [18:49] hi toshiba [18:49] lookup: Intel Celeron D CPU 3.06GHz Family 15 model 6 <- is the info I have so far [18:50] Look that up [18:50] and it should give you the socket size [18:50] ClientAlive, you can find relevant info in the first line of a dmesg output command: try dmesg | more [18:50] type in less /proc/cpuinfo [18:51] lookup: that's where I go that info. I'm not seeing much online tho so I thought maybe there's some info on the socket type via ubuntu [18:51] kuzorra : from where do i install alien? [18:51] !alien | toshiba [18:51] toshiba: RPM is the RedHat Package Management system. Ubuntu uses !APT, not RPM. RPM packages are not supported (the package "alien" can allow installing them, but it's quite dangerous and unsupported) [18:52] ClientAlive, you can also try with a command line program called hwinfo, sudo apt-get install hwinfo then hwinfo --help [18:52] I'll give that a shot [18:52] thx [18:52] ClientAlive: I am pretty sure that you will find a whole machine for less money than a CPU upgrade... [18:52] l8r [18:53] soy_el_pulpo, amen [18:53] hwinfo --bios for example gives you relevant information about your hardware [18:53] but there are many more options [18:53] unless you have access to free spare parts... [18:54] lspci will tell you also the chipset you are running... [18:54] hwinfo gives better output most times when ran with sudo or root [18:54] best thing is to open the case and look for the mobo model, right? [18:54] sudo apt-get install hwinfo prints that it can't find the package [18:54] lemme google for a package name [18:55] soy_el_pulpo: it's a customer computer - that's what they want :) [18:56] ClientAlive, which ubuntu version are you using? [18:56] woops! fogot I'm not connected to the internet on that machine [18:57] lol [18:57] #drupal [18:58] ClientAlive: get a new mb, memory, proc and replace the current, then grab a welding gun and seal the case... bill them "processor upgrade" LOL [18:58] not able to install alien......any resolution [18:59] soy_el_pulpo: lol :) === multiply is now known as Multiply [19:01] will that be and acceptable solution? also you can frame the old micro and give it to them as a free gift...

I've read the Zentyal docs but they just dont give you much info nor start at the beginning of creating a mail server. [19:06] Hi, i got a file from firefox what i cant delete. tried to delete it with chmod rm over inode but nothing works. anyone knows a solution? [19:07] Zentyal is good [19:07] TheUsD: http://www.linuxtoday.com/upload/how-to-install-zentyal-3.0-on-ubuntu-server-12.04-lts-121112194517.html [19:08] http://ubuntuserverguide.com/2012/11/how-to-instal-zentyal-3-0-on-ubuntu-server-12-04-lts.html [19:08] another one... [19:09] Joit: Do you get an error when you try to delete it? [19:09] subz3r0: thanks for the link but it doesnt give you crap of info about to setting up the mail server [19:09] adamk: no, but after that my fs get instantly anyhow locked [19:10] TheUsD http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=40047 [19:10] Joit: Sounds like your filesystem is hosed. I suggest running an fsck on it. [19:10] No1 using gns3 on ubuntu? :( [19:11] adamk: i delete it, no error, bbut after that i dont have write acces anymore. i did rename it, move it to an other place, try to overwrite, but nothing works. also i got allways an error at fsck that it has double blocks. but it shows it fixed [19:11] TheUsD: have you seen this one: http://doc.zentyal.org/en/mail.html [19:11] MonkeyDust: thanks for the help aswell. I'm looking for Zentyal setups though. [19:11] TheUsD I guess the people in #ubuntu-erver can give better advice [19:11] fsck runs trough, i delet the file, but after a reboot its still here again with same size [19:12] TheUsD I guess the people in #ubuntu-server can give better advice <-- correction [19:12] soy_el_pulpo yes I did, thanks. [19:12] MonkeyDust: thanks, didnt know that exsisted [19:12] I'll try there [19:12] Joit: Sounds like your hard drive or disk controller is failing to me.

[19:13] "/join #channel name" [19:13] adamk: not sure anyway, i run 13.04 and anyhow all drivers do not load, seems, like snd_hda_intel and couple other motherboard driver [19:13] TheUsD: also there is a #Zentyal channel [19:13] soy_el_pulpo: No, it didnt seem to start on naming servers and etc, or does it mention what your mx records should be move to or indepth info of much [19:14] soy_el_pulpo: I will try that channel first, seems more ideal, thanks again! [19:15] */join #Zentyal [19:15] adamk: but i tried too, to start with a 12.04 desktop kubuntu, and tried to delete the file over there, but still dont work [19:15] adamk: but i tried too, to start with a 12.04 desktop kubuntu, and tried to delete the file over there, but still dont work [19:15] not its adam__ [19:16] what Joit [19:16] adam__: are you adamk ? [19:16] no Joit [19:16] oh k [19:17] Joit: I suggest running the smart diagnostic programs to check the hard drive. [19:17] Hi All! I am trying to install Ubuntu, but the graphics driver is too new and the 13.04 installation screen is impossible to read. Is there a way to force the installation using LLVMPIPE or something? [19:17] how can I add controls for MPD on my ubuntu sound menu? [19:18] simosx: Try passing 'nomodeset' to the kernel. That will disable kernel modesetting, and most likely force X to use the vesa driver. [19:18] simosx impossibe to read? what happens when you try? [19:18] adamk: what is this, at bios? [19:19] !nomodeset [19:19] A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [19:19] MonkeyDust, I can only distinguish the first 3-4 lines of the screen (in graphics mode). The rest is flickering. [19:19] I want a command to find a file by partial name and open its path in nautilus. Thoughts? [19:20] sudo smart [19:20] err [19:20] wrong tab :D [19:20] Joit: Some BIOS' support SMART testing directly. If not, you can probably grab an ISO image of a free SMART tool and burn it to CD. [19:20] energizer, ctrl + F in Nautilus to find names/partal names with * [19:20] Joit: Just install smartmon-tools and run smartctl [19:21] Ahhh, or that.

A couple problems: 1) I want find to find partial name match 2) find gives directory with spaces (xargs treats spaces as file separators), 3) i don't know how to remove the filename from the full path to just get the directory [19:29] energizer: find .... -print0 | xargs -0 whatever [19:29] energizer: dirname $file to get the path only [19:30] toshiba: what was your question? maybe I lost it...

[20:03] a complete noob question: if i install something like libreoffice or skype where the files will be put? root partition or home? [20:05] DottorLeo: Assuming you use the Ubuntu tools, they'll essentially go to root. [20:06] DottorLeo: There is a standard "filesystem hierarchy" that describes what goes where for system-wide programs. [20:06] DottorLeo: Some things like pluggins installed through the browser will go in your home directory, but usually just preference files to there. [20:06] M4d3L-Rabbit: with ps maybe: ps --no-headers -p pid -o args; but it seems to truncate the output, might have better luck with just: cat /proc/pid/cmdline [20:07] so for a 250gb hd how should be partitioned? How much bigger is suggested the size of the root? [20:07] DottorLeo: see "man hier" for details of what jhutchins_wk was just talking about [20:08] DottorLeo: The installer has it's own recommendations, but I suggest that you have one partition until you have a good reason to break it up. [20:08] ? [20:08] all root? [20:08] DottorLeo: Untill you know where you're going to be accumulating stuff you don't know where to put your space, and you're guaranteed to run out on one partition while there's plenty on another. [20:10] is the systemtools in the installation required to use? [20:10] M4d3L-Rabbit: ahh, -ww seems to fix the truncation for the ps command [20:10] I think DottorLeo means it is common to have a root partition and a user partition on most systems, which afaik isnt true [20:10] DottorLeo: You do want a swap partition, 2xRAM up to 2G. [20:10] yes energizer [20:11] energizer: Most installers split up /, /var, /home, and /usr, but I think a single partitionis better, especially for a new user. [20:11] is that right jhutchins_wk [20:12] energizer: In my experience yes. [20:12] Hey everyone...I'm learning how to setup a server and using zentyal as it is based on Ubuntu 12.04 server. My question is for my domain name on the server do I use the fully qualified domain name, or just the name.com? For the time this is internal.. [20:12] Splitting up partitions is a holdover from when hard drives were the size of washing machines and you had to have more than one to have enough space for the system. [20:12] when i ssh to a server and run emacs in that terminal window, i cannot press ctrl+arrow keys to jump words. Its extremely annoying...that used to work.. instead its writing 5D and 5C instead.

I did sudo -l and it gives me this: "(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL \n (ALL : ALL) ALL" for this user [20:36] i am doing this because hadoop requires passwordless sudo users to install [20:36] astropriate: Are you editing /etc/sudoers directly?

[21:40] reddz: you'd be better learning network fundamentals if you want to hack [21:40] you could learn to hack with windows 95 [21:41] denis: don't those use a switchable gpu? [21:41] how do you use an iso to install an os on vbox? [21:41] what do you ;ean by that [21:41] reddz: go to a riding centre [21:41] knivezz: mount the ISO in the software then fire up the virtual system [21:41] "Messages are delivered to your mailbox on a computer that is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2007.

Did you try the other url I suggested? [21:47] ok wait a moment [21:47] denis: knowing your own hardware that is in the system is nothing to do with the installed OS [21:47] denis: you could be running windows and the hardware would not change, would it?

[21:50] Pricey, if i talk to the host about it, and webdav is not enabled, is the correct terminology to ask for the webdav url?

[21:52] no man [21:52] dryicebomb: not any louder than usual [21:52] k [21:52] denis: so how does being new to linux mean you don't know what hardware is in the system? [21:52] ActionParsnip, how do i do a memtest? [21:52] in this machine dont have windows anywhere [21:52] dick: hold SHIFT at boot, select memtest [21:52] hello , anyone has any idea how to change unity-greeter logo position ? [21:53] Has anyone had any success with getting a playlist on a Sansa FUZE+? [21:53] dick ? [21:53] does anyone know a decent driver for the macbook pro 8 fan controller. tried several but no success. somehow when the laptop has more to work he goes into sleepmode.. standbye mode. i guess hes overheating [21:53] denis: if you run: sudo lshw -C display is there an Intel GPU and an Nvidia GPU? [21:53] i've tried all the various options I googled, none worked [21:53] dick: its 1 of 2 things, if its no louder than usual, its probably not heat related, which was my first guess, I'd do what ActionParsnip suggested and test the memory [21:53] intel gpu [21:53] hs, yE? [21:53] is exchange.amsx just for 2010? [21:53] asmx [21:54] denis: no nvidia? [21:54] dryicebomb, what do i do after that? [21:54] dick sorry , i though your a user i knew [21:54] can someone give me a good archive manager instead of file-roller? I just wnat to drag files and directories into an archive. Gnome's file-roller throws an error. [21:54] denis: then you already have the driver installed. Its in a default install [21:54] only gpu intel [21:54] noiro: thunar [21:54] dick: reboot the computer, and choose memtest from the grub menu, then let it run. If there are issues, they will display in read on the screen. [21:54] its i need man [21:55] jatt: is it available in repositories? [21:55] hs ... a user that you used to know? [21:55] echoe yep.

[21:56] noiro: You comfortable with terminal? [21:56] im beginner in it [21:56] denis: run it in terminal, you won't know without running it [21:56] denis: its no different to the method you used with the other command, just a different command..... [21:57] terminal show me ubuntu version only [21:58] denis: yes, what does it say. I asked you for the output didn't I? [21:58] ActionParsnip thanks [21:58] lasers: no. jatt: I get the error adding files again.

[22:00] a kernel error , sorry [22:00] MSamyHAQ: what was the error? [22:01] it only went away when I restored casper-rw from an old backup [22:01] What's the default ftp program for ubuntu? [22:01] client [22:01] noiro: Try running "nautilus" in a terminal and start dragging files to your (is it zip?) archive. You might get more information on why it's not working. Missing zip package? Etc. [22:01] litropy: nautilus can connect to FTP [22:01] hmm [22:01] Pricey, http://davmail.sourceforge.net/faq.html [22:01] Unfortunately, this is not the case with Exchange 2007. You must make sure Webdav support is enabled on your server. You can test this by accessing https://mail.company.com/exchange, which should redirect to /owa. Another important service is the galfind (address book) access at /public/?Cmd=galfind [22:01] ActionParsnip, procedure? I don't see the option in the menu [22:02] litropy: ftp is also default installed for CLI ftp [22:02] the error was someth9ing about kernel 3.5.0-generic [22:02] if i remember correctly [22:02] Can someone help me configure my touchpad?

[22:03] Pricey, i get a 403 for foo.bar.gov/exchange/ [22:03] will try [22:03] You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied. [22:03] Freel0ader: So I'm guessing that means there's no webdav support? According to the faq? [22:03] knivezz: it can, if you set the network to bridged it will appear on your LAN as if you bought a new PC [22:04] knivezz: depends on how you set it up [22:04] ok [22:04] lasers: I'm told I can't add an archive to itself [22:04] Pricey, or webdav is disabled for my user [22:04] anyone know how to fix the "cannot open /etc/decnet.conf" issue with cmus? thanks [22:04] because i get a 403 when i try to access webdav url [22:04] access is denied [22:04] nope [22:04] And I am dragging a file into a folder in the archive. I'd like to be able to do this easily in the future [22:04] nothing shrunk [22:05] ok, my recycle bin won't empty either [22:05] noiro: are there bugs reported? [22:05] can you help me with that? [22:05] MSamyHAQ: is the file system read only? [22:05] ActionParsnip: No bugs reported at all. Just "An error occurred." [22:05] yes, I made a bootable USB [22:05] and added a casper-rw partition [22:06] noiro: could report a bug [22:06] is there a way to make it writable? [22:06] how do i list screen sessions in ubuntu? [22:06] It won't let me report bug. I'm looking for a solution. [22:06] noiro: ubuntu-bug file-roller [22:07] hs: looks like create_pattern in background.vala, looks like the logo is placed two grid lines above the bottom [22:07] screen -list [22:07] screen --help [22:07] always try --help if you are lost [22:07] knivezz: think about switching to tmux ;) [22:07] litropy: was I right or was I correct? [22:08] grimeton: what is tmux? [22:08] trism , can you assist me more ? [22:08] knivezz: same as screen, but better documented and some nicer features [22:08] hello #ubuntu [22:08] knivezz: ah, and the better license [22:08] just installed Libre office [22:08] and now my wine doesnt work [22:08] hs: if you don't know how to patch and rebuild a package, not really, sorry [22:09] why is libre office removing a bunch of lib? [22:09] JohannKrauss: you installed the linux version of libreoffice - right? [22:09] trism , ive changed the logo already, but the position is not currect. [22:09] grimeton: yes [22:10] JohannKrauss: what error do you get when you try to use wine? [22:10] how the hell does screen work [22:10] grimeton: nothing, just it cant be started [22:10] hi all, I've been running PCLinuxOS for years, but the new upgrade screwed a lot of things. reinstalled to my orig. version, updating whacked it again. Going back to either Ubuntu or Kubuntu. (LTS), but where can I find a checksum to be sure I got a good dl before burning them? [22:10] JohannKrauss: Did you pass a 'sudo apt-get autoclean before'? try to 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure wine'. [22:10] hs: the position is computed from the size of the background, not the size of the logo, so that could be the issue [22:10] is this channel only for english?

Now ubuntu and firefox want to use it as a default app. How do I remove it from these lists? [22:12] minimec: wine is not installed [22:12] ok thank urś [22:12] hs: use a smaller image that more closely matches the height of the default logo.png or fix the code to compute the position including the size of the logo [22:13] all I want is some writing. and now I lose a bunch of libraries [22:13] So if i dont use a bridged setting how does the guest/host internet connection work? [22:13] trism , how can i fix the code ? [22:13] OK. Now I have a problem you say that after your libreoffice install wine did not work anymore... and now it's nnot installed??? Well... install it. 'sudo apt-get install wine' [22:14] minimec: but I have it installed before, I played some Windows steam games before this [22:14] knivez: its managed for you [22:14] melkor: Google "ubuntu default applications" and try first few links. See if that will work. [22:15] ok, didn't see sums, will recheck. AND, can I just install U or K into my / partition, or do I need to GParted it first? It's dualbooting w/win 7, thanks1 [22:15] thats is the output of dpkg-reconfigure wine [22:15] Do i just point services that I want to access on the guest to the host ip and all will work? [22:15] JohannKrauss: I guess you did a 'autoclean' before, but that's another story... Just install it again. That should do. [22:15] ok guys , can someone tell me how to make my own plymouth splash screen ? [22:15] hs: probably just subtract the height of the logo from the y position (give or take the difference between your logo and the default logo) [22:16] minimec: The following packages have unmet dependencies: [22:16] wine : Depends: wine1.4 but it is not going to be installed [22:16] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages.

I just need to put in new files into an archive without extracting it and rezipping it. [22:40] I tried to add a folder in vbox but it doesnt show up as a drive [22:40] JohannKrauss: It resets all the packages back to the dafault version. I had some issues with steam and wine. After that 'reset' I was able to install both of them. [22:40] hello guys, i don't get to crontab works [22:40] minimec: okay then, I'll give it a try [22:40] nvm [22:40] when I run crontab -e the crontab file is in /tmp/ [22:41] 1313 [22:41] is this normal? maybe I should create a crontab file for my user in another directory? [22:41] chanel in spanish [22:41] Hi I used crontab -e and I inserted a line for my cron schedule and cron.file. When I went to save should I save it in the tmp/ that its defaulting to, or find some folders called cron.daily etc... Thanks [22:42] facmed: That's the temporary file that is edited. After saving, it is loaded. [22:42] JohannKrauss: Ok copy/paste line 4-6 into that /etc/apt/preferences file... (check your ubuntu version) --> then sudo apt-get update/upgrade -> then you can delete the /etc/apt/preferences file again. [22:42] #esubuntu [22:42] >/tmp/crontab.UxVfPZ/crontab this file? [22:42] facmed: Yep. [22:42] but doesn't work [22:42] i put this line: [22:42] @reboot /home/facmed/.scripts/run.sh [22:43] minimec: I'm sorry, but i don't get any link? [22:43] and doesn't work after reboot [22:43] facmed: "After you exit from the editor, the modified crontab will be installed automatically." -- and what's in run.sh? GUI Apps? [22:43] facmed: How do you know it doesn't work? [22:43] JohannKrauss: ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5718245/ [22:44] run.sh is a simple script that i made; this is the content: [22:44] !paste | facmed [22:44] facmed: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [22:44] bitcoin-miner -t8 -o http://pool.50btc.com:8332 -u mail@server [22:44] is just one line [22:44] facmed: is bitcoin-miner in your $PATH ? [22:44] I want to remove some of Nautilus's bookmarks via the 'user-dirs.dirs' file. But every time I delete a line it reverts it back. [22:44] por favor canal en español [22:44] Or in the $PATH of the shell that'll be running it? [22:44] minimec: is it a new file ? [22:44] !es [22:44] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [22:44] facmed: If you're unsure, specify a full path to it, e.g. "/usr/local/bin/bitcoin-miner blah" [22:44] JohannKrauss: That could well be the case, yes. [22:45] i don't know the script is in my home [22:45] gracias ubotuu [22:46] facmed: Then something like /home/facmed/bitcoin-miner [22:46] JohannKrauss: You might want to disable your ppa's, because I guess one of them is causing the trouble you have. [22:46] home/facmed/ufasoft_bitcoin-miner-0.28 [22:46] is this? [22:47] Beltechs: There is a place for crontab files: /var/spool/cron/crontabs [22:47] this is the folder where I extracted the zip and compile it [22:47] dont forget the slash in front of home facmed [22:47] Pricey: If it's just one line, wouldn't it be better to put it directly in crontab? [22:47] yeah, but the server don't let me post in this channel [22:47] Ruiseart thank u [22:48] facmed no you're just forgetting to put a space before [22:48] oh, lol [22:48] facmed: The first / is important. [22:48] lasers: I don't understand? [22:49] this is: /home/facmed/ufasoft_bitcoin-miner-0.28 [22:49] well, I doing somthing wrong? [22:49] does anyone use likewise or pbis? [22:49] facmed: so in the crontab have something like /home/facmed/ufasoft_bitcoin-miner-0.28/bitcoin-miner -t8 -o http://pool.50btc.com:8332 -u mail@server [22:50] Pricey: Instead of putting /path/to/run.sh (which have one line) in crontab, just take what's in run.sh and save it in crontab instead. [22:50] on a laptop or machine with network-manager and wireless [22:50] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5718270/ [22:50] lasers: Could do. Either way need to specify the full path. [22:50] this is my crontab fila [22:50] minimec: I'm sorry, but can you guide me? I'm a little new [22:50] facmed: Paste your run.sh too, plz. [22:50] ok var/spool/cron/crontabs/root has the cron job schedule in the file. How do I test run it or know if its working? [22:50] i ran a memtest and my computer still crashes? any HELP please? [22:50] i ran a memtest and my computer still crashes? any HELP please? [22:51] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5718271/ [22:51] this [22:51] man beginning to think it was a bad idea to join my computer to a domain [22:51] if I run the comand in a normal bash, it work [22:51] Beltechs: set a time 2 mins from now :) [22:51] i ran a memtest and my computer still crashes? any HELP please? [22:52] but crontab doesn't load teh script after reboot [22:52] facmed: Erm. Crap. Bad idea to share that last part. Is bitcoin-miner CLI or GUI? [22:52] JohannKrauss: That is a problem, because we are really influencing the system with this reset.... Basically, it resets the system to default packages. Were there are newer ppa packages, these are downgraded. That might indeed break these programs or give you an older version. [22:52] i don't know it only works in the shell [22:53] Can someone please tell me an archive manager that works with .jar's and lets me add files? [22:53] I have this line>>> {*/3 * * * * php /var/www/cron.php} without the {} do i need to do anything with permissions? [22:54] using ubuntu 10.04 [22:54] JohannKrauss: I used this to start again, whithout dooing a reinstall. I removed all my ppa's and activated the once I really wanted again. Like x-swat or steam. [22:54] noiro try to use cli with the jar first, once you're familiar, switch to GUI [22:54] anyone know what I might be able to do about [system] Rejected send message, 2 matched rules [22:54] in auth.log [22:54] betrayd: I just need to add a file to a folder in a jar, how is that something to become more familier with? [22:54] i can't use nm-applet anymore, it just sits there telling me it's not connected and doesn't respond to my clicks [22:54] facmed: You ran "crontab -e" or "sudo crontab -e" -- Try "pgrep bitcoin-miner" -- It might tell us something. [22:55] I think my crontab isn't in the good directory :( [22:55] facmed: (The first sentence was a question) [22:55] noiro apparently you can use cli, and you've been here for days using the filemanager [22:55] i run crontab -e as a supersuer [22:55] I don't like use sudo [22:55] oh, fuck, no [22:56] iro man jar in a terminal will clue you in [22:56] facmed: ? [22:56] I run only "crontab -e" beacuse if I run with sudo or as a super user [22:56] betrayd, I don't know what you mean. I'm just trying to add texture files to a .jar. This shouldn't be that hard to do, and considering it deals with programming, I'd think Linux would handle it a bit better than disallowing it. [22:56] it edit the root crontab file; not the crontab file of my user [22:56] noiro man jar in a terminal will clue you in [22:56] facmed: Please try to watch your language and keep the channel family-friendly! [22:57] its that filemanager giving you a heck of a time [22:57] ok, sorry [22:57] facmed: Yes. So you want "crontab -e" -- As a regular user -- Also, check /var/spool/cron/crontabs -- and see if there is anything in there. [22:58] betrayd, I'm jusing the default for gnome. I really like gnome. Apparently the bug has been around since 2012. Why isn't it fixed? [22:58] inoiro, you can figure out the GUI way later, what you're doing wrong [22:58] Beltechs: You should use full path in crontab file [22:58] It's not what I"m doing wrong, it's the application bugging out for something that should be a simple task. [22:58] yeah, there ir a crontab file for my user "/var/spool/cron/crontabs/facmed" [22:59] that what I put is not a "full path"? [22:59] is the same that I write [22:59] winrar on Windows does it just fine [22:59] Beltechs: /usr/bin/php [22:59] I don't think it's a priority if there are ways around it [22:59] maybe the line "@reboot /home/facmed/.scripts/run.sh" is wrong? [23:00] a priority for THEM that is [23:00] got ya so I also need to tell it where php is ? [23:00] yes [23:00] does the guest use the same graphics card as the host? [23:01] facmed: "which bitcoin-miner" [23:02] Thanks. [23:02] i need help [23:03] my acer laptop fan isn't spinning up soon enough... supposedly there's an acerhdf driver for Ubuntu.

[23:03] o.O [23:04] thank you, very much [23:04] minimec: thanks. I owe you mate :) [23:04] JohannKrauss: I was checking the paste you posted... Where does that tzdata_2012g-0squeeze1_all.deb file come from??? [23:04] I love ubuntu [23:04] JohannKrauss: So you are good? [23:04] except i wish i knew how the access worked because I keep getting held up by it [23:04] minimec: I think so. :) [23:04] lasers, the "#" not commente the line? [23:05] so, my acer laptop is overheating [23:05] facmed: See example -- http://floppix.com/scripts1.html [23:05] JohannKrauss: Again... You can delete that file again... [23:05] thanks, i love you bros [23:05] i will reboot [23:06] minimec: might create a copy. haha. incase anything...thanks again mate [23:06] i used the update manager and when it rebooted the computer it booted to a grub prompt. i have used many guides online for people who have similar problems but none have worked. The kernel is not loaded and the /dev folder on the main partition is empty. each time i use the linux command to load a kernel it has absolutely no effect at all. I also tried using a usb, but it freezes on the ubuntu spla [23:06] sh screen with no forthcoming solution. [23:06] JohannKrauss: np [23:06] anyone have experience with hardware specific drivers? [23:07] and there's rar for linux too, feel free to use it [23:07] Beltechs: Yes. You should get an email each time the cron ends. [23:08] i tried to run it and got permission denied [23:08] i chmod +x [23:08] can anybody help me? [23:08] to cron.php and I got a mail but dont understand the message === stomach is now known as saros [23:09] daman4567: so, you're trying to install ubuntu? [23:09] what did it say [23:10] ok its outputting something about /bin is a directory I will post.... [23:10] Pidge|2: it is already installed, but when it updated programs it lost the kernel or something. it is also for some reason on grub 1.99 instead of 2 [23:10] hmm [23:11] were you updating versions, or just programs? [23:11] what version are you on? [23:11] daman4567: grub 1.99 is grub2. [23:11] 12.04 [23:12] and just programs i believe [23:12] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5718324/ [23:13] daman4567: so you can't boot the system at all? [23:14] Pidge|2: no. [23:14] Beltechs try putting a / before var [23:14] ok [23:15] i've been searching through the hd with ls, and most folders seem to be empty [23:15] Beltechs it probably didn't know how to start is all [23:15] is re-installing an option? [23:15] i was gonna start digging in the cron.php thanks for the heads up. [23:17] i have /usr/bin/php /var/www/cron.php looks right.... [23:17] i want to avoid it if i can, because i'm not even 100 percent sure that it is an option. I tried to reinstall it with the live usb but it froze on the splash screen just like booting [23:17] im assuming [23:18] Beltechs yeah see if it's ok [23:18] it's possible the usb is corrupted... does your system have a dvd drive? [23:19] it does. [23:19] but is there a way to fix it without a reinstall? [23:19] you can try burning a live dvd of ubuntu, and see if it boots [23:20] whst hapenned to bug 1? [23:21] bug 1 in Ubuntu Malaysia LoCo Team "Microsoft has a majority market share" [Critical,In progress] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1 [23:21] if the hard drive is okay, then maybe, but it sounds like an easier solution could be to reinstall.... [23:21] if you can't access any files on the hard drive, and it doesn't boot, there aren't a whole lot of options there. [23:22] well not all of the folders are empty, i can find several vmlinuzes and initrd's, but when i use the linux command it has no effect [23:23] hmm. [23:23] what happens when you try to boot to the drive? anything/ [23:23] same error [23:23] should I remove the /? [23:24] how can i tell how much ram i have in this machine? [23:24] is there a console command?\ [23:24] <[nas]peter> try free -m [23:24] knivez: htop is nice if you don't know about it. [23:24] Beltechs no, so its something else, does it run in cli (nonGUI) [23:24] lasers: htop? [23:25] boot to drive? [23:25] knivez: uh uh. htop. [23:25] means what? [23:25] boot to the hard drive [23:25] that's how i get the grub prompt [23:25] is that a package? [23:25] so, the boot options must be wrong [23:26] knivez: Yes. === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [23:26] how do i fix that? [23:26] this is how Im running it>>> root@ubuntu:/# /var/www/cron.php is this correct? [23:26] i'm not a grub expert.... wish i could help :/ [23:26] ok i installed it [23:26] now what? [23:27] what is swap vs memory? [23:27] how come swap isnt being used at all? [23:27] ! swap [23:27] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [23:27] how much swap do i actually need? [23:28] if its not needed.. its not used [23:28] but theres 4 gigs of memory allocated to it [23:28] whats yoru ram size knivez [23:28] 8 gigs [23:28] Beltechs are you in a tty (ctl-alt-f1 or ctl-alt f2) [23:28] 4 is in memory and 4 is in swap.. [23:28] this is bad [23:29] if you plan on using hibernate use swap=ram. if not use less [23:29] tty???? [23:29] im using putty [23:29] how do i allocate less? [23:29] This computer will be on 24/7 [23:29] no hibernation [23:29] use a smaller swap partition [23:30] oh no :/ how do i find out how to edit the swap partition? [23:30] you got 4 gb of ram. then you should use some swap [23:30] is there a grub expert here? [23:30] 4gb is plenty [23:30] swp : 12/4089 [23:30] knivez: If you got lot of hard drive space, I wouldn't worry about it. :) [23:30] ! grub2 [23:30] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:30] I need more memory [23:30] my memory is being used [23:31] swap expands your memory [23:31] its not being used though [23:31] at all [23:31] linux manages memory better then you do.. leave it alone [23:31] ! ram [23:31] If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [23:32] ok [23:32] Beltechs to see if itx executable, use tab-completion type /var/www/cro [23:32] this is not windows.. B-) [23:32] lol well im running so many things I could really use more memory [23:32] I need to allocate more memory for my vbox [23:32] and still have enough left over [23:32] then buy more ram [23:33] or use swap [23:33] swap is used as needed.. when its needed [23:33] betrayd: it completed cron.php and added a space [23:33] anybody can help me? [23:34] can you allow linux to use swap? [23:34] its not being used at all [23:34] Beltechs good, we don't need to worry about permissions at this point [23:34] ok [23:35] but will it always be root who runs it? [23:35] now im looking at the first file it suppose to load? i mean its there in the dir [23:35] hmm... [23:35] no I installed my magento with my user account [23:35] this is for my magento [23:36] #cool [23:36] because if HE runs it, he will bulldoze over most issues and wouldn't resemble a proper user environment like your user account [23:36] knivez: Linux is already using swap -- but memory is faster than swap so it's using memory because it's free and available. Just run Vbox and you'll see some changes. [23:36] like Windows Admin problems from the 90s [23:36] lasers: I already am running vbox :/ [23:37] can anybody help me with grub? [23:37] knivez: it will use it when it needs to. [23:37] so this cron should be setup under user and not root [23:37] ? [23:37] ok [23:37] knivez: Then you still have plenty of memory. :) [23:37] why would it use swap when it dosent need to...... [23:37] thats windows thinking. ;) [23:38] Some jobs need root, and only you can say for sure if this one needs it === christian is now known as Guest23512 [23:38] But if you're testing to look for flaws, I'd try to mimic a regular user's environment [23:39] i would say run as root and if doesnt work then run as user? [23:41] so let me ask you when I do all my work through the terminal I should log in as a user and not root? I have being doing everything from the gui user account. Im recently only using the terminal only. [23:41] Beltechs root might be ok and run to for example up to step 39, but when you switch to a user it stops at 21. You'd be troubleshooting a step39 issue when in reality there was a problem that root 'bulldozed' at step 21 [23:41] hello everyone, (ubuntu 12.04) a few days after installation my mouse is misbehaving, i can't click or move any windows, only the unity dash works [23:42] one of the reasons ubuntu discourages logging in as root [23:42] oh so it matter to how the code is written and who has permissions to execute things... ok I think I better use the user login [23:43] Beltechs especially if the one's going to use it is in users group and not admin folk [23:43] just installed 13.04 but still needing to update drivers. can I go to software center and do this, or what would be an easier way of doing it? [23:44] @rmobenchain: what kind of drivers? [23:44] rmobenchain: what kind of drivers? [23:44] Nvidia for one.. [23:45] cfenix: at various times, icons on my taskbar get all blurry as well as yellow lines around windows and such [23:45] Anyone in here know what is supposed to update the /boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.img symlinks? [23:46] look for JOCKEY (additional drivers) and install that (is the one in charge of installing the Nvidia Drivers) [23:46] houkouonchi-work: update-grub, which is a stub for grub-mkconfig [23:47] I get the same error when I run it as a user [23:47] genii-around: so how do you update that when ur machine doesnt use grub? [23:47] cfenix: do I enter "JOCKEY" in the software center search bar? [23:47] yes, jockey or additional drivers [23:48] Beltechs time to look at the code now if it fails for both user & root [23:48] genii-around: also makes me wonder how the original symlinks got installed if grub was never installed [23:48] yea i think it has to to with path [23:48] im trying something... [23:48] houkouonchi-work: Well, different boot managers will make them in their own way, lilo uses it's own thing, etc [23:49] houkouonchi-work: grub2 is the standard one which is installed with Ubuntu by default [23:49] genii-around: this is armhf arch and its u-boot [23:49] doing dpkg-reconfigure doesn't appear to create the symlinks really trying to figure out what does [23:49] or what did... === Sky-Dreamer is now known as Randomnick [23:50] can somebody help me? i can't "click" with my mouse on any window (only on the dash) [23:50] houkouonchi-work: You probably want to ask in #ubuntu-arm then === inspectorgadget is now known as inspectorgadget0 [23:50] Ah i tried in ubuntu-kernel but it was pretty dead. I will give that a shot, Thanks === inspectorgadget0 is now known as inspctrgadget007 [23:51] Hey guys, I'm trying to use winRaR inside of Wine to add files to the jar and it works every now and then, but I can not always get it to work. All other linux archive managers won't add files to the jar at all. Help? [23:51] noiro: ->java [23:51] This is not an ubuntu issue. [23:52] Why are you doing java inside of wine? [23:52] jhutchins_wk, the inability to add files to any archive is an ubuntu issue. Same problem with .zips [23:52] noiro: I assure you it is not an ubuntu issue. [23:52] I'm adding files to a jar, but it's the archive manager is the problem [23:52] noiro: There is a command called jar, you know :) [23:53] Adding files to a zip file works fine in ubuntu, see the manpage for the zip utility of your choice. [23:53] When using libreoffice applications (e.g. writer) much of the text in the menus is rectangular boxes instead of letters. How can I fix this? (I've already tried reinstalling the package) [23:53] exit [23:53] jhutchins_wk, I can't drag any file into a .zip either. [23:53] using winrar in wine is not a smart choice [23:53] noiro: If it's an archive manager running under wine, it's nothing to do with ubuntu. [23:54] jhutchins_wk, I"m only using an archive manager running under wine because ubuntu's archive managers already failed. [23:54] noiro: dragging icons that represent files in a window manager is not the same as adding files to an archvive. [23:54] rar for linux been around far longer than its windows cousin [23:54] If I click the button "add file", I get the exact same result [23:54] trying to ssh into a server. After I've set the public key it still asks for password. Server config is correct because it works from another client, so my client machine must be the problem. [23:54] noiro: I suspect you may need to learn more about linux archive managers and how to use them. Possibly even from the command line. [23:55] winRar for Wine at least works once a blue moon. I get an error EVERY time I try in a Linux archive manager. Why should i have to learn command line when I just want to add files to a jar? You can drag them into a jar on Windows, why not Linux? [23:55] santi: use the -v (-vvv) option on the client to see what's happening. [23:55] i think my problem has something to do with compiz, not sure, but I CAN'T use my mouse to control my windows(of any program) [23:56] he refuses to acknowlege their existence it seems [23:56] thanks jhutchins_wk, trying that [23:56] anyone that can help me out? thank you [23:56] noiro, what type of archive are you trying to add files to? [23:57] ring0: .jar or .zip both yield same result. file-roller gives "An Error occurred" without giving the actual error. [23:57] jhutchins_wk: awesome, it says "could not open key file '/home/vagrant/.ssh/id_rsa': Permission denied" [23:57] I've tried various other archive managers which all fail in various ways. but fail to do the same thing [23:57] jhutchins_wk: what should I chmod it to? [23:57] noiro, have you checked, if package zip is installed? [23:58] santi: 600 [23:58] somsip: the .pub file too? [23:58] santi: can do. Make sure chown is correct too [23:58] noiro: Learn to use the CLI. [23:58] I am going to cry, need some help here u_u [23:58] ring0, it's installed, just checked. I'm just trying to add .png's inside a jar archive. [23:59] noiro, jar != zip [23:59] somsip: how do I check that? [23:59] cfenix: We can't know if we can help you unless you tell us what's wrong. Tell us which release, what you did, what you expected, and what happened instead. [23:59] ring0: Either attempt yields same error, regardless, I assumed the problem lies where they have something in common. [23:59] santi: ls -la and make sure it is owned (and in the group) for the user you are running ssh for. Eg: vagrant:vagrant from what you imply earlier
