I mean it's a standard USB mouse without additional buttons. I only used Logitech mouses my whole life. I never had such kind of 'double click' problem. === root is now known as Guest52381 [00:06] minimec: I don't know. I've had linux for a few months now and this is the first time i've noticed an issue [00:06] with mouses, that is * [00:08] quibble_: I am sorry, but I guess I cannot help you. I never had problems with a logitech mouse, even with addidtional buttons. [00:08] SuperLag, ahh. my laptop is a cheap a6. :P it does everything ok though. i would really only use 32G if i was spinning up a bunch of virtual environments [00:10] minimec: that's okay, thank you :D [00:11] does that laptop have the eraser head trackpoint quibble? [00:13] hay guys, i am having tgrouble for some time now - i am running ubuntu 12.04 LTS, and for a while now i am trying to upgrade, and i cant... i've looked everywhere, i tried the "do-realse-upgrade -d" thing: it says "No new version available" i changed to "prompt=normal"... and nothing [00:13] i've also reinstalled the update-manager... [00:13] i can do regular updates, but not the dist upgrade === mack_ is now known as Guest3135 [00:14] can any1 try and help me out? [00:15] boosali hows your current setup, 100% working? [00:16] wifi video internet multimedia all ok? [00:16] טקד [00:16] yes [00:17] boosali: I don't know why 'do-release-upgrade -d' is not working for you. It works on my 12.04 desktop. But besides... You don't want to 12.10 ... ;) You might switch to a newer kernel in 12.04, but 12.10 is not worth an upgrade from 12.04. === richard is now known as Guest10458 [00:17] amm, this is a desktop - net a server... i eventually would like to go to 13.04... [00:18] but if its to hard, how do i go to the new kernel? [00:19] I have an issue when using apt-get to install a package. I had to compile and build a dependency from source, however, when I try to install a package, it still tries to install the binaries from apt-get of the package I manually installed. Have I done something wrong when building? Is there a way to fix this? [00:19] boosali: do you actually need a new kernel? [00:20] boosali: 13.04 would mean two upgrades, as you cannot upgrade 12.04 -> 13.04. The newer kernels are available in the software repositories. The 3.5... series is 12.10; the 3.8... ones are backports from 13.04 [00:20] epsilonorion: you don't need to compile anything to be able to apt-get something [00:20] thank you guys, i know i need to preform 2 upgrades, thats why i am trying to go to 12.10... [00:21] who has already installed the new IDE of android on Ubuntu please ? [00:21] boosali: why upgrade every 6 months when you can upgrade every 2 years? :D [00:21] this is not an importante desktop, its meaning is to try and use the new non LTS ubuntu versions [00:21] boosali: My desktop for example is a 12.04 machine with the 3.8.0.23-generic kernel backport ftom [00:21] so i am trying to do the update.... [00:21] Ben64, not quite the issue. I am attempting to install something from apt-get. It has a dependency on something else, but I needed to build that part from source. When I try to apt-get install the first one, it is still trying to install the second one as a dependency. [00:22] I dont want this === deww_ is now known as deww [00:22] as I have already built it manually and installed it [00:22] epsilonorion: why would you need to build it if it's in apt-get [00:22] its not, it just thinks it is [00:22] what is it [00:23] Who has already installed the new IDE of android on Ubuntu please ? [00:23] boosali: O love 13.04, but my desktop (the working horse) will stay on 12.04. Stable, LTS... Ask your self that kind of questions. With 13.04 you have to update in abot 8 month from know again... [00:23] jayn: not really relevant to ubuntu support [00:23] boosali: I love... ;) [00:23] jayn i have === Tylerjd_ is now known as Tylerjd [00:24] I am installing a ROS (Robot Operating Systems) application through apt-get on an ARM based version of Ubuntu. When I try to install the ROS application it depends on libyaml-cpp-dev. Well, since there isn't a binary for it on ARM, I had to build from source [00:24] when I go to install the first part again, it attempts to install libyaml-cpp-dev, even though I already did [00:24] boosali: 12.04 with the 3.8 kernel backport is really cool with my i5 Ivy bridge generation computer. [00:24] epsilonorion: sounds like something that isn't supported in this channel === hoteric is now known as EEEEric [00:24] Hello [00:25] minimec: yeah, i know i will have to update again, i dont mind... this is the purpose of this desktop.... can you help me do the upgrade as i should? [00:25] How do I setup a proxy with my irssi? [00:25] ecanto: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-05312013-050621pm.php [00:25] Ben64: which is why I didn't explain it that way. My question is not related to ARMs and compiling. It is how do I make sure Linux/Ubuntu does not attempt to find a package that I have manually installed from source [00:25] other than this channel or a general linux channel, I am not sure where is best to ask [00:26] i have tried even running the "do-realse-update -d" with a "debug level = 1" envaermental variable, but it said "cant find "percise" in some list [00:26] constant beep after keyboard water damage, any ideeas? [00:26] boosali: NOt really. Run the according tool. Maybe disable some ppa, experimental GPU stuff... [00:26] epsilonorion: might have to compile the whole thing, but we can't support ppas and stuff like that [00:27] i am running radeon 6950HD with Xinerama... can it be the problem? [00:27] i have 2 screens... [00:27] epsilonorion: lock the package in synaptic [00:27] no... number of screens doesn't change upgrades [00:27] SuperLag: how do I do that? Sorry, never had to [00:27] maybe the Xinerama is somehow makes ot feel uncomfartable ;)? [00:28] it* [00:29] SuperLag: I can look it up if it is easy or too complicated to explain in chat [00:30] epsilonorion: sorry. eating [00:30] lol, no biggy [00:30] boosali: That may in fact be a problem.. [00:30] let me try to disable it [00:32] anyone know how to stop constant beeping of laptop? [00:33] ripplebit: shoot iy?\\t? [00:33] bah [00:33] i think it needs a restart... I"ll brb [00:33] shoot it [00:33] tried that, no dice === psusi_ is now known as psusi [00:35] anyone know how to stop constant beeping of laptop? [00:35] turn it off [00:36] any helpful ideas? [00:36] go to #hardware maybe? [00:37] does the BIOS/EFI say anything? [00:37] ripplebit: if you tried shooting it, and it still beeps... it's time to take it to an exorcist :) [00:37] check to see if any keys are stuck? [00:37] ripplebit: either that, or you're a REALLY bad shot :D [00:38] i cant access bios [00:38] tried #hardware [00:38] why not? [00:38] well its a hardware problem, not an ubuntu problem [00:38] be patient [00:39] keyboards broken [00:39] i want to turn off beeping [00:39] what do you mean the keyboard is broken? [00:39] water dmg [00:39] whats a good channal here with a lil less tech stuff [00:39] ne key is shorted [00:40] then it is probably affecting other things too... get your hardware fixed, amigo [00:40] but i want to stop the beeping noise [00:40] Campfire: what did you want to talk about, your cat? :) [00:40] #hardware --- stop asking here [00:40] yeah something like that [00:41] !alis | Campfire [00:41] Campfire: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels.

[00:56] terretz: yep [00:56] alright - I'll give it a shot [00:56] terretz, also, you should mount by UUID and not device path, but that isn't the issue you are having (Ben64 is right) [00:57] guys?

[01:12] Tylerjd, Its N10 (atom) [01:12] how to use this pastebin? [01:13] boosali, first, goto the link [01:13] boosali, second, paste [01:13] the_eye_: Oh, okay, hah, didn't recognize that one, thanks. As long as there is a thermal sensor on the chip, you should be able to use lm-sensors [01:14] boosali: go to http://paste.ubuntu.com/ enter the text you want to pastebin into the box, click paste, tell the person helping you the URL [01:14] Thanks Terretz [01:14] yes [01:14] the_eye_: Then a sudo sensors-detect should work [01:14] ahh... [01:14] the_eye_: did you install sensors? [01:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5721606/ [01:15] the_eye_: install lm-sensors and then configure with sensors-detect command [01:15] tgm4883: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5721606/ [01:15] Tylerjd, Yes I have sensors. No data about GPU. [01:16] the_eye_: Hmm, odd. I'm sorry but I don't know what to tell you then. Are you sure that GPU has a temp sensor on board?

I just trying to read if there is anything. Any workaround ? [01:18] what is the most common programming language used in ubuntu? [01:19] or on linux? [01:19] boosali, not sure. It looks like it should be working [01:19] ncmxcxx, python maybe? [01:19] the_eye_: I don't have one of those chips in front of me, so I am not positive, though it /may/ not have a thermal sensor on board just because it is such a low power chip. Don't quote me on that - the best I would say is just to monitor the CPU usage [01:19] tgm4883: i know, thats y i am here [01:19] what language would I have to learn that would allow me to write basic apps for most linux distros? [01:19] ncmxcxx: Ubuntu, many of the automated stuff is in Perl [01:20] is perl a complete language? [01:20] I write all my apps in python [01:20] What do you mean by complete? [01:20] will your apps run on windows? [01:20] Tylerjd, ok thanks [01:20] does python allow me to make decentt guis? [01:20] ncmxcxx, yes, my apps run on windows [01:20] any1 had any ideas?... :( [01:21] the_eye_: I mean the CPU temp, not usage, now that I just re-read that [01:21] tgm are they self installing or do they need to download additional stuff? [01:21] boosali, maybe try with sudo rather than being logged in as root? [01:21] tgm4883: tried that too [01:21] ncmxcxx, you'd need to have python installed on windows [01:21] so when distributing the app you would have tell the person to install python? [01:22] ncmxcxx, IDK, you'd have to look at the distribution licensing for python. I imagine you could build an installer that installed python if it wasn't already installed [01:22] Can I tell apt-get to not install the packages but instead just download them to a specified location? [01:22] Tylerjd, Yes its seems right. Most of intel GPU are included in CPU. [01:23] boosali, where do you live? [01:23] israel [01:24] tgm4883: check this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5721620/ with the "export DEBUG_UPDATE_MANAGER=1" thingi [01:24] so i get there a timeout... [01:24] boosali, I'm running out of ideas. Is that machine fully up to date? (eg. 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade') [01:24] but on regular updates it works fine [01:24] yes, machine is fully updated [01:25] Is there an easy way to get add-apt-repository to add for distribution precise instead of raring? [01:25] Rarrikins: no, and that is a bad idea. You shouldn't mix versions in your repos [01:26] IdleOne: Some packages don't have raring versions. [01:26] boosali, seems like a networking issue then [01:26] Rarrikins: which packages? [01:26] IdleOne: One is natecarlson's maven3 [01:26] tgm4883: regular updates work fine... and if i try wget on these link there, they all work [01:27] Rarrikins: I don't recommend this but you can add repos to /etc/apt/sources.list manually. [01:27] maybe there is some proxy or dns config its looking for? [01:27] Rarrikins: check the PPA and it will give you the full URL to add [01:27] IdleOne: OK, thanks. [01:28] Rarrikins: You should also file a bug against that package and request they add a raring version to the PPA [01:29] well, guys, i have to go now, I"ll try bothering you again later :) [01:29] boosali, well it should look like this http://pastebin.com/3DKtYEci [01:29] boosali, you could try blowing away the cache file [01:29] but IDK [01:30] well, i am too stupid to set up supervisor (daemontools) ... i installed daemontools and daemontools-run and put a testscript with a simple loop and echo to /dev/null as the run script in /etc/service/run. after running sudo svscanboot i get the processes supvervices (thats what i guess) [01:30] root@raspberrypi:/home/pi# pgrep -lf super [01:30] 1583 supervise testSupervise [01:30] 1587 supervise supervise [01:30] 1750 supervise [01:30] regorianer: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:30] but i cannot stop with svc -d [01:30] IdleOne, Rarrikins you can use apt-add-repository to add full repo line rather than the short LP version eg. "apt-add-repository 'deb http://myserver/path/to/repo stable myrepo'" [01:31] Rarrikins, you'd still need to get the proper line from the ppa page though [01:31] but i cannot stop with svc -d [01:31] tgm4883: did not know that, thanks. [01:31] tgm4883: deleting the file should help? [01:31] IdleOne, yw [01:31] boosali, shouldn't hurt it seems [01:31] regorianer, a supervisor? what does that do?

[01:33] no more timeout, but it cant find the local version or something [01:34] all i read is that daemontools is easy to use ... but i have my problems ... [01:34] regorianer, I've got a basic upstart job I could show you, sec [01:34] daemontools? isent that a windows iso-mounting software?

[01:39] regorianer, I'm assuming you mean what if the service crashes (not the server), upstart is watching [01:40] sure, service, sorry [01:41] regorianer, that is what lines 7 and 8 do. It sets it to respawn on crash. Line 8 specifies how many times it's allowed to restart it in a certain time span (no need to keep restarting a service if it just dies immediately) [01:42] true, and how you start this service on boot then ? [01:42] and how u stop it ? [01:42] need these for the preinst and postinst script for the package [01:43] regorianer, that would be the 'start on' and 'stop on' lines [01:43] regorianer, so that one is starting when the local filesystems and also eth0 are both up [01:43] ok, i will try [01:44] ok means that upstart is already started === Heisenbe1 is now known as Heisenberg [01:44] regorianer, upstart is what ubuntu uses to bring up all the services [01:45] im currently trying to use the 'convert' command from the console to change a PDF to a PNG image. The pdf is crystal clear but the fonts are highly blurred in the resulting PNG image and some fine lines are just missing [01:45] regorianer, it's a core part of ubuntu [01:45] can anyone give help with fixing the quality ? [01:47] yeah i just read it, sorry have to inform me better first before asking such questions ;) === aether is now known as Guest59961 [01:49] hi === Connections_ is now known as Connections [01:53] hey guys i need some help and havin problems [01:54] any 1 here? :) [01:54] !ask | darkangel [01:54] darkangel: 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 [01:55] <|1li> that's the way it goes in IRC usually [01:55] <|1li> not like runescape [01:55] oooookkk?

[01:57] well any ways im havin log out problems ever since i updated to 3.2.0.45 or something like that i been havin like alot of issues with my computer and nocking me off into like alot of codes area [01:58] How do I run a command with paramters under gksudo? [01:58] gksudo gedit path/to/file.ext === Guest92509 is now known as McPeter [02:00] seronis, it doesn't work with flag args, such as "-n" [02:00] gksudo start-stop-daemon -n foo === morph3k is now known as morph3k|away [02:01] it fails with: invalid option "n" [02:03] savid: for starters, i wouldn't try using gksudo for non-gui apps... that's what sudo is for! [02:04] zykotick9, yeah I wouldn't be using gksudo if I didn't need it for a reason :-P [02:04] obviously I know about sudo [02:04] hello, which server is best for foot talk?

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [02:04] oh okay, yes i see [02:07] savid, have you tried "gksudo 'start-stop-daemon -n foo'" [02:07] savid: sorry tested a few programs with gksudo and they all accepted arguments [02:07] tgm4883, yeah that doesn't work. I just figured it out though. it's: gksudo -- start-stop-daemon -n foo [02:08] seronis, I think the problem is with "-" args [02:08] at any rate, there's a workaround. [02:08] Has anyone here had success establishing audio/video with a Hauppauge WinTV PVR 150? [02:09] I have a question, lets say I get a repo from git, I ./autogen.sh then make but don't make install. Is the program installed or should I run make uninstall ? [02:09] hey all [02:09] James_Epp, yes [02:09] tgm4883: What steps did you take? [02:10] tgm4883: I installed suing that line: http://tv-viewer.sourceforge.net/mediawiki/index.php/Howto#K.2FX.2FUbuntu_and_other_debian_based_systems and then I installed tv-viewer (latest) [02:10] James_Epp, it should pretty much work out of the box [02:10] anyone have a clue why cairo dock is making a phantom type chrome window I cant close? [02:10] Ari-Yang if the make was successful all the good pieces will be in that src directory [02:10] tgm4883: ubuntu 12.04.2 amd64 BTW [02:10] TempusFugit32: do you have 3d support in xorg? [02:10] betrayd *nod* but lets say I want to make again, should I run make uninstall ? [02:11] yes It just started doing it today i added a few applets and now I have a new window I cant close [02:11] James_Epp, I've never used tv-viewer, does it let you specify which card to use? [02:11] Ari-Yang some have make clean mentioned in teh README [02:11] I don't recall make clean being there... I'll check [02:12] zykotick9: want me to post a pastebin? [02:12] tgm4883: no, here is one of the preference tabs: http://i.imgur.com/1EPGvee.png [02:12] Ari-Yang make uninstall would be it then, if no 'make clean' is found [02:12] TempusFugit32: no, i have no idea. but i know cairo needs 3d to display correctly. [02:13] tgm4883: What program did you use? Movie Player? VLC? [02:13] zykotick9: ok ty [02:13] James_Epp, ok, assuming that the card is tuned to a proper channel, do 'cat /dev/video0 > ~/test.mpg', let that run for 30 seconds, then do ctrl+c and see if you can play back the file [02:13] James_Epp, mythtv, I haven't used my pvr-150 in a few years though [02:13] betrayd, yeah, make uninstall it is, reason I'm doing this is because I got 1 error... [02:14] zykotick9: cairo is composition, which means it neads 3d to be able to display windows with transparency and such [02:14] Ari-Yang ok [02:15] tgm4883: I got static. How would I set up mythtv? [02:15] Hello! Is anybody here familiar with the DNS tunneling program iodine? [02:15] James_Epp, so it sounds like it's working, just not tuned to a specific channel [02:15] clcto: thanks - i know. [02:16] James_Epp, can you do something like "ivtv-tune -c25" (25 is channel number) [02:17] tgm4883: Output: sudo aptitude install tcl8.5 tk8.5 ivtv-utils libtk-img xdg-utils [02:17] oops :S === Heisenbe1 is now known as Heisenberg [02:17] Terretz thank you for the link, however, I don't have the pepperflash plugin /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so at all, just the /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [02:17] zykotick9: sorry i just joined i thought that was a question [02:17] tgm4883: Output: /dev/video0: 229.250 MHz [02:18] James_Epp, ok, can you try the cat command again and see if you get video now? [02:18] Also sorry for the long time in between responses [02:18] clcto: all good :) [02:19] tgm4883: For a little bit of context, I am grabbing gamecube footage. [02:19] James_Epp, oh. Are you using the coax in then or something like svideo? [02:19] Composite. [02:20] ah ok, that is something different. Sec [02:20] James_Epp, do 'v4l2-ctl -i 2' [02:21] tgm4883: Video input set to 2 (Composite 1: ok) [02:21] James_Epp, that should switch it to composite, then do the cat command and see if it works [02:21] tgm4883: I got some audio and video, but I do not believe the channel is correct. I am getting a lot of lines :P [02:22] But hey-- thanks for the help thus far! [02:22] James_Epp, you're doing composite, there is no channel [02:22] tgm4883: My bad. Well, now that this is working, how would I go about watching it? [02:23] James_Epp, try tv-viewer again [02:23] James_Epp, there is an option in that screenshot to select composite I think [02:23] James_Epp, "video input", that should set to composite [02:24] tgm4883: There is Tuner, S-Video 1, Composite 1, S-Video 2, and Composite 2 [02:24] James_Epp, composite 1 [02:25] tgm4883: I am in Canada. What should I use for frequency table? I have the following: (us-bcast, us-cable, us-cable-hrc, us-cable-irc) [02:26] James_Epp, that shouldn't matter as you aren't scanning for channels [02:26] James_Epp, composite shouldn't need that [02:26] ok, not really a ubuntu issue at all, playing an online game and having issue, when i ping the server PING bp-fb-vip.sjc2.kixeye.com i get a response time of time=146 ms, is this high for a playing an online game, thoughts? [02:26] ugly_duck, for a FPS, yes [02:27] nah, its a battle pirates, flash game [02:27] ugly_duck, then I don't see why your ping should matter [02:27] ok its been quite awhile since i posted on imagebin anyone offer a refresh? [02:27] tgm4883: These settings with no input. http://goo.gl/zmOcV [02:27] TempusFugit32, uh, upload and paste link? [02:28] James_Epp, huh? [02:28] tgm4883: well, my game crashed and i've asked them for credits, had to run traceroute etc and post it to them, they said my ping rate was too high and contact my isp to resolve the issue.. [02:28] ugly_duck, hmm, weird [02:28] Still can't get session manager to start gui. [02:28] tgm4883: do i need to register or sign in? [02:28] tgm4883: I am getting nothing through the video with those settings. [02:28] James_Epp, did you set the input to composite 1? [02:28] tgm4883: I did.....it must have switched back automatically [02:29] TempusFugit32, you need to put in a nick and accept the terms I think [02:29] James_Epp, odd [02:29] tgm4883: Actually, operator error. Tee-hee. No input with both composite 1 and 2 [02:30] James_Epp, but it works when we do it from the command line? [02:30] tgm4883: Exactly. [02:30] James_Epp, sounds like an issue with the program [02:31] tgm4883: I'll brb. MythTV wants me to log out to apply some stuff. [02:31] hi [02:32] James_Epp, are you planning on trying to play a game on your gamecube through the pvr-150? [02:32] tgm4883: Yes, that is the goal. [02:32] James_Epp, you'll get a 4 second delay with mythtv [02:32] ouch..... [02:33] James_Epp, I'd try VLC [02:33] tgm4883: idk what options to use. I had this working on windows xp with a program called 'dscaler' (dinterlace.sf.net)\ [02:34] tgm4883: Correct: deinterlace.sf.net [02:34] http://imagebin.org/259771 ok so here is my dilemma with cairo, maybe the chrome applet somehow is opening a browser on boot. had to kill the cairo pid from term to get rid of it, looked through settings of cairo and applets and cant find anything to change or fix any ideas? === Guest22196 is now known as McPeter [02:35] James_Epp, I'd try VLC, only because it plays back everything I've thrown at it, it's cross platform, and it have support for capture cards === McPeter is now known as Guest3514 [02:35] tgm4883: Using these options, the program crashes right away. http://imgur.com/fss7rc3 [02:36] James_Epp, run vlc from the command line so we can see why it crashes, also, what are the options under capture type [02:36] James_Epp, err, capture mode [02:38] http://imagebin.org/259771 ok so here is my dilemma with cairo, maybe the chrome applet somehow is opening a browser on boot. had to kill the cairo pid from term to get rid of it, looked through settings of cairo and applets and cant find anything to change or fix any ideas? [02:39] Video for Linux 2, PVR, TV (digital) and Desktop. This is what PVR shows: http://imgur.com/TaWJ3R0. I am not familiar with VLC from command line. vlc vcd:///dev/video0 did nothing helpful. [02:40] James_Epp, just run 'vlc' from the command line, then it will start as normal but provide a log in the terminal. Then select PVR and put /dev/video0 for the device [02:40] tgm4883: Segmentation fault (core dumped) [02:40] :( [02:41] tgm4883: SoL? [02:41] James_Epp, sec [02:41] :) [02:42] James_Epp, how about this from a terminal 'vlc -vvv v4l2:///dev/video0:input=2' [02:43] anyone help me change the color of my font on a downloaded theme? [02:43] the font is white on a light blue background and very hard to see [02:45] tgm4883: It goes past my terminal limit. ('Your command' >> file.txt does not work) http://pastebin.com/Uy2UwMbg [02:47] hi [02:48] question -- how do I change the font of a specific application ? [02:48] James_Epp, not sure then. You could similarily try with totem. We know the card works, just have to find something to play it back in [02:48] how to stop mode unity for install driver for video? [02:49] tgm4883: totem? Is that not the built-in movie player? [02:49] Heisenberg, 'sudo service lightdm stop' [02:49] James_Epp, yes it is [02:50] tgm4883: How do I open /dev/video0 in that then? [02:51] James_Epp, try "open location" [02:51] tgm4883: thanks man [02:52] tgm4883: Location not found. [02:52] :( [02:52] What would stop lightdm from starting gui?

[03:00] I'm struggling to make my GRUB menu legible. I'm running from a live CD right now. What do I do? [03:00] grub 2 is easier to view [03:00] matttt: In what way is it not legible? [03:01] Jordan_U: only the upper 1/3 of the screen has anything on it. And it's like each horizontal line of pixels is sliced up and displayed at random [03:02] sharpie: is grub1 the default grub installed with 12.04? === wting_ is now known as wting [03:02] matttt: Try GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console in /etc/default/grub. [03:04] question -- how do I change the font of a specific application ? [03:05] matttt: Grub 3 or the second version of grub. Arch linux uses the previous version.

[03:07] I fixed sound by removing and reinstalling per a forum I read [03:08] Jordan_U: GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT=console or GRUB_TERMINAL=console? [03:08] maybe dpkg-reconfigure [03:08] sharpie: so i can make my onboard default in the bios if i needed to? [03:08] goddard: The bios is where the OS gets hardware information from. [03:09] matttt: Either will work. [03:09] goddard: Option could read as which one to use first in bios [03:10] Jordan_U: okay, heregoes; thanks [03:10] goddard: On older motherboards it's controlled by jumpers on the board [03:10] goddard: read the motherboard manual for clues === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [03:12] question -- how do I change the font of a specific application ?

[03:22] yeah [03:22] tcpdump can watch traffic [03:22] so can wireshark with gui [03:23] Not sure if samba can be used to share files with a Mac [03:23] Might use the filemanager to search for shares and networks [03:24] Nautilus Go/Network [03:24] you can use SMB [03:24] samba is for windows [03:24] it's what I use with my ubuntu/macs [03:24] yeah but Mac OS supports SMB [03:24] smb and samba is the same [03:25] correct [03:25] works with nmbd too [03:26] Mac is basically a Unix OS.

[03:35] Nope I don't have that in my pluins [03:35] hm [03:35] annoying [03:35] did you figure out the problem or is it still happening? [03:36] still happening to my knowledge it only happens every 3rd or 4th youtube I watch [03:36] but getting back, macs can do SMB, AFP, NFS, FTP, RFB, HTTP, SSH... you name it they integrate well with ubuntu and other environments [03:36] its one of those annoying problems that only happening sporadically [03:36] ... [03:36] happens* [03:37] so - are these continuous videos or are you leaving youtube and going back? [03:37] I'm assuming the former [03:38] I do have adobe flash but not the pepperflash the link talks about [03:38] I can watch them and hear them but every 3rd or 4th one its black and you can hear it still but the video is copmpletely black [03:38] Might be the advertisement is broken [03:39] after refreshing once or twice the video works again [03:39] have you tried a different browser? [03:39] lets try hold on [03:41] ya know, Firefox looks like its working, soo far that is [03:42] that's what I'm reading [03:42] I'll see if uninstalling and restalling Chrome fixes it [03:42] seems to be centralized around chrome [03:42] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1967794&page=2 Maybe this is what is causing my problem [03:42] humor me for a sec [03:42] see if pepperflash is in /home/my_user/.config/google-chrome [03:42] ok [03:43] i installed phpmyadmin from synaptic, its installed in /usr/share/phpmyadmin, but is accessible from localhost/phpmyadmin, how ?

[04:06] bulldogggy: You can probably use a live CD, mount the drive somehow, and edit /etc/group. [04:06] Thanks Terretz_! [04:06] im not sure o the proper way to mount an encryptd drive.. but askubuntu.com may know [04:06] Rarrikins, thanks for the suggestion. I tried that already, but for some reason it doesn't seem to be taking the change [04:06] bulldogggy: can you su root? [04:06] theres encrypted home, then encrypting the whole / drive [04:06] bulldogggy: You could also edit a startup script that would add the user to a group. [04:06] terretz_, nope I didn't activate the root account [04:06] it was the drive [04:06] Guest3135: What happened? [04:06] bulldogggy: Then, all you'd have to do whenever that happened would be to reboot. [04:06] hmmm Rarrikins do you have a link or direct me in the right direction to do that [04:06] Also while I'm looking at youtube, here's an awesome video about Linux, ignore the title though http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sh-cnaJoGCw [04:06] it is my work laptop, and I think when i added myself to the vbox users group it for whatever reason got rid of the admin group [04:06] Oh that text file you sent I did the sudo purge and updated my repos and reinstalled and it looks good now [04:06] bulldogggy: http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-how-to-run-a-command-when-boots-up.html [04:06] and I tried for like 3 hours last week to fix it [04:06] excellent [04:06] bulldogggy: You can use addgroup in a script. [04:06] Yeah Thats what i'm thinking [04:06] if it happens again - I recommend getting Google Chrome instead of Chromium [04:06] [Thanks for the help [04:06] will that script have the proper permissions to add it? [04:06] n [04:06] during boot? [04:06] np [04:06] Cool === Heisenberg is now known as Guest94149 [04:06] our could I just go into where my groups are stored and edit it from a live disc? [04:06] I have mounted the disk on other attempts to fix the issue [04:06] Hi, so I was trying to follow steps to fix a video bug with Skype and added an i386 architecture. Now I can't fully uninstall skype because that i386 install of skype is still showing up in my dpkg. How can I find and remove this software? [04:06] Baahtti, I believe a purge would fix that [04:06] yeah - purge skype [04:06] but not 100% certain === gameid_ is now known as Gameid === alex88_ is now known as alex88 === Heisenbe1 is now known as Heisenberg === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` === yokel_ is now known as yokel [04:08] this is I have tryed the ver 10.04 LTS 12.04.LTS 12.10 and 13.04 and only 11.10 and 10.10 have fully work on my toshiba lap top I have 64 bit with a intel core i3 please fix this. ubuntu team.

[04:09] so sudo apt-get --purge remove skype? [04:09] Baahtti: are you sure skype is the package name? [04:11] maybe it's skype-bin. I've gotten rid of all the other skypes with "apt-get --purge remove skype" but "dpkg --list | grep -i skype" is still showing me an i386 client: "rc skype-bin". let me try to purge that specifically [04:11] bulldogggy: You can start the computer with the live CD, mount the drive, connect to the Internet, go to webchat.freenode.net in a browser, and ask from there. [04:11] ok yes that worked, I needed to purge "skype-bin" [04:12] I will have to do that on Monday when I get to work [04:12] bulldogggy: Oh, OK. [04:12] thanks for confirming I was following the right steps and helping me see more information than I was seeing before. === quem_ is now known as quem [04:12] I don't have it in front of me right now [04:12] bulldogggy: My guess would be, if editing /etc/group didn't work, that the drive was mounted read-only.

Like, Ubuntu came from Debian? === Logan_ is now known as Guest52577 [04:19] Baahtti: Ubuntu and Debian use a Linux kernel. [04:20] Gnea, forgive my improper terminology [04:20] ubuntu comes from the debian tree, but seems to be headed in its own direction [04:20] Ubuntu uses its own kernel setup. with some ubuntu patches and so forth.. most disrtos do this.. and send their patches and so forth back to the main kernel [04:20] Baahtti: Ubuntu uses the same package management system that Debian uses, but most packages are unique to Ubuntu [04:20] I see, thanks guys [04:21] Branches and trees becoming their own forests. ;) [04:21] it's all good, better to ask and find out than to wonder forever :-) [04:22] Baahtti, don't worry I learn new things everyday [04:22] Alright well. I seem to be stuck in finding a solution for my issue regarding skype. So it seems to be a common bug and there are a lot of 'solutions' but none are working. In skype my webcam is inverted. Could someone help me identify specifics about my machine/hardware to aid in my search? [04:22] i imaagine in the next year or 2 - thers going to be some huge divergance by ubuntu from debian. ;) going to be a interesting time. [04:22] man Baahtti I saw that issue a year or so back, I can't remember how to fix it [04:23] I built a computer for my brother, but the system had issues, the installation was locking up and the system froze when installing 13.04 x64, its a medium powered system 3.4ghz quad core, 8 gigs memory, 1tb hdd space, and all the hardware checked out in the bios, gfx card is an nvidia gt 430 [04:23] bulldogggy: where is ccsm? [04:23] seen the upside down cam in skype mentioned in here a few times.. but i dont recall seeing a general fix [04:23] Baahtti, do you have cheese installed on your machine? and does your camera work right in cheese [04:23] !ccsm [04:23] To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz [04:24] Yud_Zroc: you ran a memtest on it for a few hours? [04:24] bulldogggy, I did install it and it seems to be working just fine for me. I haven't messed with my webcam too much in other applications but Skype is definitely buggy [04:24] ok so that tells us its something with skype itself [04:24] what commands can I run to find information about my webcam? It's an onboard webcam on an Asus laptop === Heisenberg is now known as Guest99860 [04:24] now you installed a x64 system but tried to multiarch to install skype?

Is it possible to install Ubuntu Server and run claws-mail through xorg, or do I need a full desktop environment? [04:25] Baahtti: there used to be a 'virtual webcam' app called 'webcamstudio' that wwould let you do all sort s of tweaks and tricks to your real webcam (or other video feeds) then have a virtual webcam the apps used showing the effects. [04:25] Yud_Zroc: an install puts a big load on the hd and memory and other parts.. its possible it was overheating, or having memory issues under load. [04:25] I guess we made mojtaba mad [04:26] dr_willis, that was my first thought and I was hoping cheese would be that but it wasn't. I'll search for webcamstudio, thanks. [04:26] danielocean: looks like claws-email needs X - http://is.gd/pNArPm === Heisenbe1 is now known as Heisenberg [04:27] dr_willis: I wonder, could it also be under powered? I am using a 400watt PSU with a phemum II, and an nvidia card... [04:27] Baahtti: it might no longer be in development. ive not ussed it in ages [04:27] hrm [04:27] dr_willis: I ran a calculator and it said It only used about 300 watts [04:27] is there a way with apt-get to just SEARCH for a package but not install it? [04:27] somsip: so if I install Ubuntu server and install claws-mail from repo it should install that automatically, correct? [04:27] I mean from the commandline [04:29] if anyone knows and can pm me of how to install axel on mac I would be very grateful [04:29] danielocean: theoretically, yes. Its a long chain of dependencies, but it makes sense [04:29] I'm about to install 12.04 and once it's finished I want to run update and upgrade, but I DON'T want it to upgrade to 12.10 or 13.04. How do I prevent that? [04:29] Baahtti: apt-cache search pettern [04:30] pattern ) [04:30] elkingrey: it won't. Upgrade to new version is a different command. do-dist-upgrade or something like that [04:30] somsip: Okay, cool. Thanks! [04:31] an lts release will only notify you of being able to do a release-upgrade to the next LTS release by default also. [04:31] thanks dr_willis [04:31] Thanks, somsip! [04:31] Nice! [04:31] I'll try that now [04:31] New on linux... Any suggetions where to start? [04:31] elkingrey: it's do-release-upgrade. And note, you may need to 'apt-get dist-upgrade' to get the newest kernel. This will not be a version upgrade and will be okay for you to do (with the usual caveats) [04:31] !manual | heavenmaker [04:31] heavenmaker: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[04:33] ubottu: I should bookmark that, it looks like linking to that will be handy. [04:33] Deepfriedice: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:33] ;P [04:34] they really need to make a link to that manual site on the default desktop [04:34] lol [04:34] hi [04:35] dr_willis: replace the license by the manual so you have to read it before installing... [04:35] have the install load the manual site... as it installs.. for you to read. [04:35] just installed 12.04 on my net book lt4010u from flash drive (it has no optical drive) [04:35] soy_el_pulpo, that's kinda evil, it is 145 pages. [04:36] So my issue with converting PDFs to PNGs earlier i solved. the specific option i needed to adjust was -density on the input file [04:36] Deepfriedice: 395 for 12.04 lts, i have it open the pdf version [04:36] thats almost 1/2 the size of the normal Microsoft EULA! [04:37] soy_el_pulpo, dr_willis, Oh God.

[04:40] Baahtti, try lspci, then lshw [04:44] Hai... I hav msgd earlier as heavenmaker [04:45] I like to know some good tutorials for linux [04:46] i hav instaled ubuntu 12.04 on the system [04:46] I would also. I've had a look at the Linux Administrators Guide before. I like the techincal aspects of that manual, but I'm looking for something more of an introductory guide. Perhaps a booklist that would be good to check out? [04:47] Any suggetions? [04:47] alfredpp, That "getting started" PDF looks good. Asside from that, while there are plenty of tutorials, most are pretty bad and or out of date. [04:47] Baahtti: try this one: http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [04:48] http://files.ubuntu-manual.org/manuals/getting-started-with-ubuntu/12.04e2/en_US/print/Getting%20Started%20with%20Ubuntu%2012.04%20-%20Second%20Edition.pdf [04:48] Baahtti: has a nice pdf version [04:48] thanks soy_el_pulpo [04:48] soy_el_pulpo, that one is for 13.04 [04:48] ooppssss... I have the old version [04:48] 10.04 on my machine... [04:48] I have that... [04:48] Thats... pretty old. [04:49] I have 13.04 though, so that's helpful to me, thanks. [04:49] sorry 12.04 [04:49] Deepfriedice: your link is the correct one, sorry [04:49] uuuffff, lucky [04:51] Does anyone use Ubuntu for their work laptop in a Windows environment with everyone using Outlook/Exchange and MS Office? How do you do it? [04:51] <_dirk_> i'm trying to run a update in the terminal and it says "could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: permission denied) E: unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [04:51] <_dirk_> how do i get back to root? [04:52] dirk: sudo su - ? [04:52] dirk: or sudo bash [04:52] _dirk_: are you root? [04:52] DaveCore82, I know Evolution has support for Exchange. [04:52] sudo -i [04:52] _dirk_: just 'sudo apt-get update' is good enough === elow is now known as epistemic_ [04:53] <_dirk_> are you root? what does that mean? [04:53] hello [04:53] DaveCore82: do you need the advance exchange feature or just email? [04:53] _dirk_: you need to run apt-get with a higher level of priveleges. Just put 'sudo' before the command. that's all [04:53] dirk: root is the almighty user on linux [04:53] _dirk_: that [04:53] lol [04:53] soy_el_pulpo: I need calendars [04:54] <_dirk_> ok thanx i just forgot the sudo part i guess [04:54] do they have OWA? [04:54] soy_el_pulpo: Yeah.... but I'm afraid of OWA [04:54] DaveCore82: why? it will solve your issue with no changes required to you [04:54] soy_el_pulpo: it's the main reason i'm not switching to a linux laptop [04:55] soy_el_pulpo: I do so much emails, I'm afraid my productivity will drop just because of OWA [04:55] <_dirk_> is it possible to run a few distro's on one drive without partitioning that drive into a partition for each distro? [04:55] _dirk_: no - they need one partition each [04:55] DaveCore82: I use my mac laptop in a mixed environment... if I need any windows only app I have a virtual machine [04:56] DaveCore82, Surely you can just run any email client then? [04:56] DaveCore82: you can do the same thing with a Linux laptop [04:56] how do you enable a proxy server on xchat? [04:56] aimee Settings > Preferences > Networking [04:56] where is this mysterious "Settings" [04:57] aimee, Sorry, Settings > Preferences > Network setup [04:57] Deepfriedice: I need the calendar and contacts, i think I need exchange support for that, no? [04:57] DaveCore82: you will get used to it... or as Deepfriedice says, use a mail client for most of the time and the OWA for your calendars... [04:57] OWA will be fine... [04:57] All I have is Edit -> Preferences [04:57] it has improved over time [04:57] DaveCore82, Yeah, I think Evolution might be able to do that. [04:58] aimee, It's between "Sever" and "Window" [04:58] I have neither [04:58] DaveCore82: I agree with Deepfriedice, there is a plugin "evolution-exchange - Exchange plugin for the Evolution groupware suite" [04:58] aimee, Screenshot? [04:59] I crashed for a second, if you replied, can you repeat yourself [05:00] I also would like to know where the old Ubuntu "Applications | System | Settings" type options on the taskbar went. I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 and it's been since 11.04 since I last used Ubuntu and it's quite a bit different [05:00] Unity! [05:00] Back again [05:01] like I'm using ALT + F2 to find stuff, which is weird [05:01] aimee, May I see a screenshot? [05:01] I'm not knocking Unity, btw, I do think it's a good direction to head in [05:02] how do I send [05:02] imgur? [05:02] GNOME 3 is a good gui [05:02] I'll upload to my site [05:02] aimee, that'll work [05:03] do you eventually learn to like Unity? I have the feeling you need to learn to like it [05:03] http://media.ryansw.com/xchatscrnshot.png [05:03] As I asked before [05:04] <_dirk_> ubuntu lags on my machine so i'm going to try a few different distro's puppy, xbuntu, Dynebolic, maybe debian.... i would need a partition for each distro. does anyone have a suggustion for how large i should make the partitions for each distro to run efficently [05:04] I am stuck at getting started guide.. I don't know what else [05:05] DaveCore82: I suppose there is a learning curve, but it's not difficult to learn. The hard part is getting used to it. Personally, I tried it, didn't care for it, and moved back to KDE. My fairly tech-illiterate aunt absolutely loves it for its simplicity, though. [05:05] DaveCore82, the more I play around with this Unity the more I'm liking it. [05:05] aimee, Okay, isn't it just under the "Networks" tab then? [05:06] no, that is just other networks like freenode [05:07] how are you even supposed to use unity?? [05:07] what am I missing? [05:07] where is everything??! :) [05:07] _dirk_ debian and fedora is a gud option [05:08] _dirk_: note that it may be that unity is the cause of the lag. There are plenty of other desktops out there [05:08] _dirk_, how much disk space do you have? I'd go for 10-20GiB [05:09] Baahtti: apt-cache search *query* [05:09] somsip, Good point. _dirk_ , How powerful is your machine? [05:09] oh wow [05:09] Deepfriedice 2 or 4 gb for swap too [05:09] sorry - screen was scrolled waaaay up [05:09] <_dirk_> HEAVENMAKER..... im looking for something more lighter then ubuntu but with sexy visuals. based on that which would be better for me debian or fedora? [05:10] <_dirk_> i have about 600 gig total of diskspace, on a 2gighrts cpu with 1 gig of ram [05:10] _dirk_: ubuntu with a different desktop... [05:10] Fedora i think [05:10] terretz_, thanks. [05:10] <_dirk_> i'm running ubuntu 12 stock, i thought that comes with gnome? [05:10] !unity | _dirk_ [05:10] _dirk_: Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04. Unity is a shell for GNOME. see http://unity.ubuntu.com. For a GNOME 2-like experience, see !notunity [05:11] No... It doesnt.. u have to download externaly [05:12] Okay, out of sheer curiosity for what counts as a " GNOME 2-like experience"; !notunity [05:12] <_dirk_> from what ive read and seen screen shots of i think i would like KDE [05:12] !notunity [05:12] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [05:12] Bah. [05:13] _dirk_: If "sexy visuals" matter to you and Unity is lagging, you might try Linux Mint 15 (with Cinnamon) or Kubuntu (with KDE). No guarantees that they'll perform any better than Unity, but the best way to find out is to try. [05:13] _dirk_, KDE is also fairly heavy. For lighter things you have DE's like XFCE and Elementry (I think) [05:13] Kde is grt... Bt i think it uses more system resources.. in my system it was slow.. so i moved to gnome.. and it iS Awsm [05:13] _dirk_: Good point Axlin - sexy visuals and slower performance often go hand in hand [05:14] where can i find more information about this 'elementary'? [05:14] gnome 3.8 has its own official 'gnome-2' look alike mode. [05:14] Random832: google is useful [05:14] Does anybody have any idea about octosetup? http://www.octoshape.com/support/infinite-hd-octoshape-app/ [05:14] Random832: elementaryos.org [05:14] <_dirk_> i need something light like i said but being new to linux i'm not 100% what would be best... puppy is super lite and i think KDE is too? there is so many combinations it's insane [05:14] lightest ubuntu offocial desktop would be 'lubuntu' but its a bit minimal for some. [05:14] Yeah, Cinnamon and Mate might count as "middle-weight" as well. === Heisenbe1 is now known as Heisenberg [05:15] Actually Elementary could be another one to look into _dirk_ [05:15] _dirk_: it's choice. And you can't compare a distro (puppy) with a desktop environment and make a fair comparison [05:15] _dirk_: puppy linux is very.. weird.. and i would suggest only if your hardware cant support a more normal disrto [05:15] hey, can someone help explain how to install .tar.gz's? [05:15] you can setup an almost identical desktop to puppy on ubuntu. [05:15] kazak: what are you trying to install? [05:15] kazak, Oh boy. [05:15] <_dirk_> the only thing that might be kinda out of date is my video hardware [05:15] kazak: they are compessed archives.. if you mean compile SOURCE code.. thats one thing [05:16] the media player nightingale [05:16] _dirk_: i would suggest trying lubuntu [05:16] Does anybody have any idea about octosetup? http://www.octoshape.com/support/infinite-hd-octoshape-app/ [05:16] !patience | mojtaba [05:16] mojtaba: 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/ [05:16] i'm in the terminal and i cd'd to the folder it's in [05:16] kazak: if its precompiled binaries.. extract the file.. cd to its dir it made.. and run the binary [05:16] ./whateveritscalled [05:16] dr_willis, _dirk_ , That might be a bit far in the other direction. How about Xubuntu? [05:16] kazak: Check for a readme first [05:17] i dont use xubuntu, if i want light - i use lubuntu. :) [05:17] kazak: or the website for the package, which is why I'm asking what you are trying to install [05:17] somsip: the music player nightingale [05:17] no readme that i see [05:17] if its compiled bianries. you can extract/run it without 'installing' [05:18] kazak: there is a PPA which might make it easier for you, but.....

[05:19] dr_willis: there's something called "nightingale-bin" [05:19] _dirk_: one uses XFCE and one uses LXDE [05:19] if its executalb erun it.. [05:19] run it [05:19] it isn't running though [05:20] I found my problem [05:20] ./whatever-its-called [05:20] I was using gnome x-chat [05:20] it says it's an executable, but it won't open [05:20] <_dirk_> but you can switch our for differnt enviroments on L and X right ? [05:20] _dirk_, LXDE is barely a DE, it's basically Openbox with some tools and some configuration done. Light, but pretty minimal. [05:21] v [05:21] _dirk_ select the one to use at login.. itss trivial to change [05:21] nevermind, i got it working [05:21] thanks [05:21] Does anybody have any idea about octosetup? http://www.octoshape.com/support/infinite-hd-octoshape-app/ [05:21] <_dirk_> LXDE is so minimal i probably wouldn't like it then? does it use the apt manager [05:22] _dirk_, XFCE is a bit heavier then LXDE, but it's more featured as well. I think it's actually pretty similar to XP in some ways, but that's just me. It's also probably my personal favorite. [05:22] _dirk_: ubunut uses the apt manager. The desktop site on top of ubuntu [05:22] I like XFCE [05:22] _dirk_: they all use apt [05:23] but I also use awesomewm at work which few people like [05:23] _dirk_: I'll try that again with better spelling. Ubuntu uses the apt manager. The desktop sits on top of ubuntu [05:23] _dirk_: You'll be using APT regardless of the environment you use if you're going to running something Ubuntu-based. But yeah, if you want pretty visuals and such, you won't care much for LXDE. It can look nice, but it's pretty barebones [05:23] puppy linux uses rox-filer and jwm last i looked. [05:23] APT isn't part of the DE. [05:23] ryan-c: +1 for awesome [05:23] <_dirk_> does they both use software center? and does the software vary or can you get the same applications as ubuntu on both [05:24] I have foot pedals for that computer and a keyboard i hacked a trackpoint into [05:24] _dirk_: software center is just one of many froent ends to the apt ssystem [05:24] and a 16 key macro pad [05:24] _dirk_: they can all run the same apps [05:24] You can use compton to give a few simple graphical effects (shadows on windows, translucency, etc.) on LXDE. === andrex is now known as andrex|off [05:25] <_dirk_> can you change your terminal to pacman for example running any of the ubuntu family os? [05:25] _dirk_: pacman is the Arch linux package maintainer. The quesiton makes no sense [05:25] mojtaba, what on earth is that? The website is incomprehensible. [05:25] paman? the arch package manager? thaats not a terminal [05:26] Deepfriedice: I am not sure, I was going to watch a site, and it asked me to install it. [05:26] time to just pick a desktop and stat using i,t to lean it.. ;) [05:26] <_dirk_> ok, i'm trying to read as much as i can about all this instead of asking stupid questions in here but there only so much my brain can absorb in one day... ive been doing this all day [05:27] In apt-get, pacman is a Pacman game. [05:28] <_dirk_> i'm on a website that helps you pick the distro most suitable for your pc and your needs and it asks which package manager i prefer but i've only used apt so i don't know what to choose lol [05:28] _dirk_: You can use apt-get (the standard package manager here) in any of them, though. [05:29] APT, then. Go with what you're familiar with for now. [05:29] ubuntu will work well (or one of its variants) for most people. [05:29] its trivial to instgall the xubuntu/xfce and lubuntu/lxde desktops all on top of ubuntu, so youc an try out all 3 desktops with ease. [05:30] if you want to get ffancier - you can rollup your own desktop setup with other window managers and file managers and tools. [05:31] Rarrikins, Not true, APT only works on debian package based distros. [05:31] What is the difference between debian and ubuntu? [05:31] Deepfriedice: Oh, I meant any of the Ubuntu-based distributions. [05:32] Rarrikins, Yeah, but whatever site _dirk_ is looking at probably covers more than that. [05:32] Deepfriedice: Ahh, I see. [05:33] mojtaba: ubuntu is based on debian [05:33] mojtaba, Debian is more stable than Ubuntu, but the packages can be out-of-date. Ubuntu is aimed at new users, Debian is aimed at servers. [05:33] Roughly. [05:33] Deepfriedice: thanks [05:37] <_dirk_> the website explains fedora as A very capable distro for an experienced Linux user who's going through a mid-life crisis. What the hell is that supposed to mean? [05:38] Wait, What? [05:38] _dirk_: It probably means that the distribution is faking being young. [05:38] Heh, not really sure... but I suspect it's referring to how Fedora is fairly bleeding edge, so you get all the brand-spanking, shiny new software to play with. [05:39] <_dirk_> well that would speak to me more the debian then... it says debian is geared more toward servers too [05:41] Technically Debian can be geared toward end-users, too. They have testing/unstable branches where you can get *much* newer software than their stable release. But since you sound fairly new to Linux, you may want to stick with something Ubuntu-based. [05:41] Ubuntu strikes a decent middle ground between having stable software and new software. Go too bleeding edge and you can find your system unstable. [05:41] <_dirk_> if debian is kinda behinde the time when it comes to software why is all the apps that i seem interested in made for debian example studio 64, muse [05:42] <_dirk_> is fedora ubuntu based? [05:43] Debian is the foundation for Ubuntu and all things Ubuntu-derived. It makes it arguably the most influential parent OS in the Linux world. And no, Fedora is not. [05:44] <_dirk_> oh jesus... i can decide the color socks i'm going to wear from day to day [05:44] <_dirk_> i cant decide sorry [05:45] You mentioned earlier that you liked how KDE looked in screenshots. Just give Kubuntu a try, then. See how it goes. [05:46] <_dirk_> AXLIN... your the man.... [05:47] If you don't like it, two others I would suggest trying would include Linux Mint 15 and Elementary OS. I'm sure one of those will suit your fancy. And they're all Ubuntu based. [05:49] <_dirk_> ive been trying to find out the system requirments to run musicx, artistx and tango studio... will they run decent on my machine 2gig CPU/ 1gig RAM/ [05:51] <_dirk_> one more audiophile? [05:51] Never heard of them. [05:51] <_dirk_> i guess i wont know unless i test drive em [05:52] My ubuntu works fine for quite some time, no until recently I got this "modem manager caught signal shutdown" error which halts my shutdown. What confuse me is I didn't do a system update recently. Only installed tlp, which I have uninstalled already. The problem still exists. Google says it's a system bug, but that bug never occurs before? And I'd want to track down the real cause. [05:55] walltender: I have seen that sometimes, but it is hidden behind the Ubuntu logo. [05:56] <_dirk_> PAE kernel uses 4 gig or ram or non PAE uses 4 gig of ram? [05:56] Anyone happen to know whether it's possible to transfer a purchase made in the Software Centre from one account to another? I bought the game "Bastion" a while back, but was apparently signed into the wrong account at the time. I need to move my purchase to my actual account. [05:56] walltender: perhaps something else has gone wrong, and you are seeing that message now because the spash screen has cleared away. [05:58] <_dirk_> MINT 15 uses PAE kernel... i cant remeber which is which... but i only have 1 gig or ram so it suggests using MINT 13 MAYA LTS instead... [05:58] _dirk_: PAE = 36 bit, which means the system can access up to 64 GB, but applications are restricted to 4 maximum. With 1 GB it won't matter either way. [05:58] ajhlinuxuser: Em, only during shutdown. It just halts there. Where do I go trouble shooting? [05:59] ajhlinuxuser: shutdown -r now wouldn't even shut down. [06:00] Axlin: 36 bit? [06:03] PAE increases the physical address size from 32 to 36 bits. [06:03] <_dirk_> oh that's awesome mint offers the OS in KDE , XFCE , FLUXbox, LXDE... that's so cool man... [06:04] _dirk_: ubuntu does the same thing basically [06:04] Axlin: just reading, cool point to know [06:06] hello world [06:07] The world does not respond. [06:07] :) [06:11] anyone using the magic trackpad here? [06:12] hmm... that sounds almost... dirty.. it is 2 am here.. so im tired.. ;^) [06:12] you mean that apple touchpad thinggie? [06:12] yes [06:13] I wonder if it works on ubuntu, and if so, if it works just as on a mac [06:13] i wonder how much apple paid the marketing team that came up with the term 'magic' anything... ;P [06:14] sam113101: id say check askubuntu.com to see how well it works . if at all [06:14] i cant recall seeing anyone else in here asking about it [06:16] <_dirk_> if i install Mint with the KDE am i stuck with that enviroment or is changing it simple... [06:17] Hi. Anyone familiar with a portable form of disk encryption that would be installable on a flash drive, and runnable on Windows/Mac/*nix systems without admin priveledges? [06:18] !bot [06:18] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [06:18] kkerwin: sounds like a job for truecrypt. [06:18] why my nick has parenthesis? [06:19] kkerwin: but it might need admin privs tho [06:19] Myrtti: Damn. [06:20] <_dirk_> Dr. Willis... if i choose one enviroment on the mint download am i stuck with it or can i change without re-installing [06:21] _dirk_, you can switch between DEs === one is now known as Guest58652 [06:24] kkerwin: You can probably get 7-zip programs for each that don't need to be installed, but the computers can record the data and your password. [06:24] _dirk_: i suggest using ubuntu. not mint. [06:24] hi [06:25] _dirk_: and the way linux is designed. makes it rather trivial to change desktops [06:25] I need an application can run in terminal that can teach typing [06:25] kkerwin: http://security.stackexchange.com/questions/29375/is-7-zips-aes-encryption-just-as-secure-as-truecrypts-version [06:25] Myrtti and Rarrikins: Problem is work computers. I don't have administrative priveledges, and I won't get admin priveledges to install unapproved software for corporate purposes. Corporate are asshats on that one, but I have to oblige. [06:25] kkerwin: You can get standalone programs that don't need to be installed. [06:26] Rarrikins: That sounds good. Can I make container files that will inflate as I add stuff to them, or do I need to encrypt each file separately? [06:28] kkerwin: You can add files to and remove files from 7-zip arbitrarily as long as it's not a solid archive. [06:28] Rarrikins: I do not understand. [06:28] <_Dirk_> my connection was lost, cuase my phone died.... i didn't get to see the answer to my question... DR Willis if you answered me can you please repost... [06:30] kkerwin: Nonsolid 7z archives will inflate as you add things to them. [06:31] Rarrikins: I do not understand 'non-solid'; apologies for being unclear before. [06:31] _dirk_: i suggest using ubuntu. not mint. [06:31] _dirk_: and the way linux is designed. makes it rather trivial to change desktops [06:32] Rarrikins: Never mind; Google helped. [06:32] kkerwin: Oh, OK :) [06:33] Rarrikins: Thank you for your help. I appreciate it. [06:33] kkerwin: You're welcome. [06:34] hello all [06:35] can i download ubuntu server packages (i.e. lamp, and zoneminder) onto my ubuntu desktop machine and run it as a psuedo server/desktop? [06:36] Rarrikins: Know of a good Linux frontend to p7zip? Ark seems to work, but doesn't seem to support encryption. [06:36] I have network problem, when I start pc it says waiting for network configuration and i have to wait for 60 sec. it can't connect to my broadband even its connected and up , running [06:36] I have 12.04 installed [06:36] what grub flags allow for more debug info when the live USB disk won't boot? [06:36] where should I look ? [06:36] desktop can run services j5sa_ [06:36] eg, displays a black screen after grub [06:36] hi guys what can u tell me about upstart? [06:37] awesome! thank you much DR [06:37] !upstart [06:37] Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [06:37] im looking for an init alternative you see [06:37] j5sa_: theres really not a lot of differances betwen desktop and server except the installed apps [06:38] does it work well? [06:38] fluffybunnyuk_: most disrtros are moveing to that new one.. i forget its name... [06:38] ubuntu eventually plans on moving to it as well from that ive seen in the blogs.. but that may be a year or more away [06:38] arch is using it now.. and i cent recall its name... [06:39] _dr, i didnt there was, but i wanted to be sure before i proceeded. thanks again. [06:39] kkerwin: the p7zip package includes the 7zr command. [06:39] upstart works ok - its been in use by ubuntu for some time now,. [06:39] systemd [06:40] yeah not sure i want systemd tho im running away from suse not towards it :D [06:40] yea.. systemd seems like such a. bland name,. l) [06:40] i imagine in 5 years systemd will be used by most.. but we will see [06:40] kkerwin: http://p7zip.sourceforge.net/ [06:40] how can I mount something that shows up in lsusb? [06:41] !mount [06:41] mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount [06:41] with the proper mount command SecretFire [06:41] thx i'll have to give it alot more thought [06:41] dr_willis : all I have is the information from lsusb [06:41] sudo mount /dev/sdXX /media/make-a-dir -o options needed [06:41] Rarrikins: Ok. Thank you. Presently running the portable windows version on the target drive under wine for a test drive of what it will be like on the work machine. Runs surprisingly smoothly, considering. Will look at that as a native solution, however. [06:41] it has to have a device name in /dev/ or else you are not going to be doing much or anything with it.. [06:42] dr_willis, how can i see /dev [06:42] ls /dev/ [06:42] a read of that MOUnt wiki page.. is worth the time..... [06:42] dr_willis: with canonical pushing unity and an alternative to X, i would be surprised if they made a alternative to upstart too [06:43] *wouldn't [06:43] aeon-ltd: i recall seing some discussion abvout eventually moving away from upstart to systemd. but we know how ubuntu is about such things... [06:43] drag it out, drag it out more.... NOW hurry and change! ;) [06:43] :) [06:44] can anyone tell me how to install twiki? [06:44] i think in evolution science terms - thats 'puncuated equilbrieum' - long time of no changes.. then a huge change quicky [06:44] kkerwin: Oh, OK. [06:44] !info twiki [06:44] Package twiki does not exist in raring [06:44] whats twiki? [06:44] i built my own distro .so i yanked bits from everywhere its sort of a hardened ubfedsuslackdebtoo :p [06:45] * dr_willis uses tiddlywiki [06:45] fluffybunnyuk_: not sure I like that name [06:45] lol how wud u write it DaveCore82? [06:45] fluffOS [06:45] 'FrankenDisrto' [06:46] aeon-ltd: agree [06:46] haha great idea [06:46] fluffybunnyuk_: I would totally switch distro to fluffOS right now [06:46] DaveCore82: but your only support is one other user [06:46] * dr_willis goes back to HannaMontanaLinux ;P [06:47] Rolling your own disrto is so... 2011 [06:47] ;P [06:47] MulliganOS / ChopSueyOS / HacknSlashOS / . .. FluffyOS still sounds the best to me. [06:47] ive been doing it for 15 years now [06:48] dr_willis: like that xkcd about creating the best standard === bitnumus is now known as Guest6280 [06:48] besides ive taken the time to write things in like stack protector to obscure return addresses on the stack :D [06:48] Hello Everybody [06:48] http://xkcd.com/927/ [06:48] hard to get that out of the box [06:48] just dont use "FurryOS" [06:49] haha wud the box have to be wrapped in a fur :D [06:49] Bluetooth linkkeys file is empty even after pairing device. [06:49] What can i do? [06:49] I am using ubuntu 13 [06:49] I have installed Ubuntu 12.04. When I start PC it says Waiting for network configuration and I have to wait for 60 seconds. What to do If I want to disable that message. I have followed this link : http://avinashtechie.wordpress.com/2012/01/09/disabling-pppoe-connection-in-ubuntu-at-boot-time/ but it seems not to be working. [06:49] Earlier I have installed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE to connect with my broadband. [06:50] dr_willis : Im having trouble mounting my android phone to linux it is recognized by lsusb but nothing happens when i plug it in. It was working a few days ago and mounting just fine [06:50] anand_: do you have a device configured to obtain an ip address in /etc/network/interfaces [06:51] Change your clocks back to yesterday and everything will be fine. [06:51] SecretFire: i just use airdroid thesedays on android. beats running a usb cable. [06:51] artiken: yeah its the june 1st bug [06:52] Anybody saw my message? [06:52] 35 yrs and not much has changed. [06:52] SecretFire: the android mtp stuff can be a pain. [06:52] raddy: yes [06:53] this is my favorite xkcd. http://xkcd.com/353/ I'm totally feeling like that these days [06:53] So I just briefed "Getting Started with Ubuntu 13.04" and mostly it just helped me to find some software which I quite likely will want and I have installed them. I'm looking for a more advanced guide, like the "Linux Administrators Guide" but a little more beginner friendly like the "Getting Started". Specifically, I'm interested in learning about how to utilize my terminal. [06:53] hista: yes [06:54] DaveCore82: i like the scrollable one [06:54] hosta: the content is [06:54] auto eth0 [06:54] iface eth0 inet dhcp [06:54] dr_willis : you have to have a wifi connection right? [06:54] dr_willis : i am trying to use google drive [06:54] SecretFire: yes. [06:54] clcto: yeah that one was amazing... I think I spent 30 minutes looking at it [06:55] DaveCore82: thats it? [06:55] !yt friday [06:55] i dont see how google drive is related to the question then.. [06:56] well I can use it to transfer files i thought, but it is failing each time i transfer to the phone [06:56] clcto: I had work to do ! [06:56] Hi, whats the best xml editor [06:56] Ok so I installed 13.04 yesterday, played around with it etc, updated, installed all my stuff that i'm used to. Then I went to bed, now i've just woken up to a broken unity (or gnome?) and i'm not sure how to fix it. http://img543.imageshack.us/img543/6590/screenshotfrom201306011.png Anyone got any suggestions? [06:57] try dropbox or copy.com or ubuntu one perhaps SecretFire [06:57] ok [06:57] Bounjour, Pizza hut of Mexico is giving away free Belgum Waffles with every 3 orders of spicy indian food. [06:57] SomeoneWeird: You just have to put the TV channel to 3, happens all the time to my aunt [06:57] are you kidding me [06:57] DaveCore82, lul [06:57] !best | Kaushik_ [06:57] Kaushik_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [06:58] It's like the desktop isn't redraw()ing, so all the windows are becoming ghosts [06:58] thanks ubottu. [06:59] SomeoneWeird, just curious, you tried rebooting already, right? [06:59] is ubuntu 13 is faster than 12 ? [06:59] Baahtti, yeah, and i've installed AMDs drivers with no luck, too [06:59] boot time ? [06:59] is for me anand_ === totesmuh1oats is now known as totesmuhgoats [07:00] yes [07:00] dr [07:01] SomeoneWeird, so you got the AMD drivers installed then or the installation of those drivers failed? [07:01] 14 sec to 12 sec.... gotta love ssd drives... [07:01] great [07:01] dr: thanks [07:02] 5± weeks of uptine make boottime trivial [07:02] Baahtti, I had the Xorg opensource drivers when it started happening, so I installed the AMD ones to see if it would fix it [07:04] SomeoneWeird, It looks like you've customized the 'theme' somewhat. Is this the case or is the color-scheme due to the malfunction? [07:05] is it possible to make an usb stick boot with both ubuntu 32bit and 64bit, so one can choose wich architecture? [07:06] I'm wondering if perhaps you've installed something like compiz and it is causing issues. [07:06] lotuspsychje, I know that you can add architectures from the commandline [07:06] Baahtti, malfunction [07:06] it might be [07:07] Baahtti: well would be interesting to have both on 1 usb stick [07:08] SomeoneWeird, hrm, I'm not even certain how to go about it, but I wonder if you restore to the default theme settings if the issues would go away. Perhaps try to start there and see if it may be your themeing causing the issue? [07:09] hey #ubuntu [07:10] i just downloaded mint 15 and im having some problems [07:10] !mint | darkapp [07:10] darkapp: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:10] ya no one answered there, and i figure, well u know [07:10] ubuntu is kind of the same thing [07:10] as mint [07:12] darkapp: well if it isnt supported, we cant help you with mint... [07:12] darkapp: try in #linux [07:12] actually ##linux [07:12] darkapp: il be happy to support your problem when you install ubuntu 13.04, you should try it! [07:12] lotuspsychje: i plan on it [07:12] through a vm [07:13] but first i need mint to be working properly [07:13] darkapp: its rocketfast [07:15] hi, i'm using compiz on ubuntu but i don't know what's causing this issue: I want key commands like alt tab to be sent to teamviewer when it's fullscreen, but it's being handled and then it does not get sent to the application [07:16] is it possible to "fix" that? [07:16] Which log file do I need to provide on ubuntu forum to get help for my system shutdown error? [07:17] My Windows System 7 machine keeps crashing. What should I do? LOL. Duh. I know. I'll ask the Ubuntu guys. I wonder what they will say? LOL. BTW I switched from Suse to Ubuntu. Even the family loves it. [07:17] walltender: what error are you receiving? === Subo1978_ is now known as subo1978 [07:18] <_Dirk_> i really want gnu artist distro based on the xubuntu 8.... it's perfect but with my phone being the only internet connection i can't download it unless i can find the torrent.... unfortunatly i can't find the torrent [07:18] histo: modem manager caught signal shutdown, google says it's system error, but I don't get this before and I didn't do system update either. [07:20] <_Dirk_> is there anyway to download this gnuartist thru the terminal??? [07:21] _Dirk_: wget? [07:22] _Dirk_: rtorrent is a cli torrent client [07:22] _Dirk_: wget for http, rtorrent for torrent [07:22] I have posted a question in askubuntu.com [07:22] http://askubuntu.com/questions/302730/network-problem-in-ubuntu-12-04 [07:23] can anybody give answer ? [07:23] please [07:23] <_Dirk_> i'm not sure what your talking about aeon-ltd and iceroot... can you dumb it down for me [07:23] _Dirk_: you asked how to download something from the cli [07:23] _Dirk_: derivatives are not supported here, only proper ubuntu distros [07:23] _Dirk_: you can use rtorrent to download stuff using terminal [07:25] anand_: i remember doing something like that when i installed ubuntu server to a laptop, i forgot how i got it working but i'm currently using wicd to manage connections though that might not be relevant at all [07:25] <_Dirk_> it's a xubuntu distro??? isnt' that close enough? and the question is pertaining to how to dowload something using ubuntu.... wow [07:25] _Dirk_: wget http://linuxfreedom.com/gnuartist/gnuArtist-lite_10.04.2_i386.iso [07:25] _Dirk_: its based on ubuntu 10.04 so its EOL and will not get security updates anymore [07:26] _and its also not supported here, we only support official ubuntu versions [07:26] aeon: is wicd good to use for network [07:26] ? [07:27] <_Dirk_> iceroot... i'm trying to download it normaly at the same link you provided but i'm using a smart phone with a connection speed of 11m/s so it's saying 3 days [07:27] anand_: i like it, though i don't use it for anything other than connectioning via wifi [07:27] _Dirk_: the file is 1.4GByte [07:28] _Dirk_: seriously, why don't you use ubuntu studio instead? [07:28] No one? [07:28] !studio | _Dirk_ [07:28] _Dirk_: UbuntuStudio is a collection of packages for the artist who wishes to use Ubuntu as their Digital Audio Workstation. It contains all the best Audio/Visual components from the Ubuntu repositories.

I have couple of softwares for that but fail so scar to use new [07:29] _Dirk_: http://ubuntustudio.org/download/ [07:29] <_Dirk_> my graphics card is to old i think... i'm lagging trying to watch an video's even on my hard drives... i'm never going to be able to edit anything [07:29] hi [07:30] dirk what graphics card do you have/ [07:30] 05hi [07:30] <_Dirk_> what's EOL mean? my graphic card is built on my mother board and i have no idea... i don't know what program to run thru ubuntu to tell me === jalcine_ is now known as jalcine [07:31] _Dirk_: end of life, no longer supported whatsoever [07:31] time to learn about your hardware sounds like... [07:31] Hello, can't connect as memory storage my galaxy s3 with jelly bean 4.1.2 to ubuntu 12 because samsung disabled menu entry "connect as mass storage" [07:31] _Dirk_: look at the 'lspci' command output [07:32] viper155: i belive you use the MTP method. or i perfer to use AIRDROID for my s3 [07:32] viper155: and using mtp may require some tweaking/scripts the omgubuntu and webupd8 sitgte had some guides on it [07:32] airdoid is much easier to use. then fighting with mtp. [07:32] is there a package that can work with oovoo? [07:33] viper155: google disabled it. its disabled on all new android devices because of microsoft. they have rights for fat filesystem and every smartphone will cost 5$ licence to microsoft, because of that google is not using fat anymore but ext. so you have to mount it with mtp [07:33] Dr willis need a router to ude airdroid and data via 3g [07:33] viper155: so? if you want to use MTP over usb cable.. you WILL need to find some guides to learn what you need to install/do/ it wont be automatic [07:34] I don't want to spend traffic data to connect phone in the same room! Absurd [07:34] at least not for 12.04 or 12.10 [07:34] <_Dirk_> http://imagebin.org/259786 [07:34] * dr_willis got a wireless router for $7 the other day... [07:34] i dont need 3g to use airdroid [07:34] Right [07:34] You'r right [07:35] But need router [07:35] mtp support is only recently been added to the latest release.. and im not even sure it works well in 13.04 yet. [07:35] Under windos via kies i can via usb [07:35] <_Dirk_> on a sprint rooted phone you don't spend any extra money on data [07:35] youmay need to look up the mtp guides and do the mounting via script/hand, not automatically [07:36] Uff... so complicated.. [07:36] you asked how.. thats how.. [07:36] Anybody know of loading touch to a Verizon HTC phone? [07:36] I think i will buy router [07:36] MTP is not fully automatic yet. [07:36] Now you know why i keep suggesting airdroid and a router. ;) [07:36] <_Dirk_> can anyone look at that imagebin file and tell me what graphics card i have? [07:37] Yes yes thank you guys ;-) [07:37] _Dirk_: are you on a ubuntu live cd right now? or what os exactly? [07:37] _Dirk_: no offence but you are not going to be able to do much with that ancient nvidia graphics [07:37] Dr willis cant send from pc to phone via bt but not vice-versa [07:38] From phone to pc i can [07:38] viper155: i picked up a low end wireless only router - that looks like a 'wall wart' dc adaptor ;) its only 150 speed.. but handy to have on the road.\\ [07:38] _Dirk_: bottom line is that your computer is simply going to get less useful rather quickly [07:38] <_Dirk_> i installed ubuntu 12 from wubi straight onto my c drive next to windows.... i plan to format c and install ubuntu or whatever correctly once i find out which distro i want [07:38] viper155: for android i find that some of the 3rd party BT apps/rile managers work nbetter then the default tools [07:38] but I also find BT very very slow. [07:39] Bluetooth transfer issues viper? [07:39] _Dirk_: if you got the ubuntu 12.x iso file from the wubi instlall sstilll downloaded.. that would be an ok one to use. [07:39] Area51 yes cant send from pc [07:40] <_Dirk_> i biult this machine in 2001 and it was top of the line!!!! but i know i need to uprade... truth is i cant afford it... i'm stealing power illegally just to turn the machine on... to be honest [07:40] _Dirk_: there are some guides out on converting wubi install to a 'norma;l' install also [07:40] 2001? I wonder if my RaspberryPi has more powar ;) [07:40] I had to install blueman then out started working fine [07:41] <_Dirk_> well being that you see my problem with my graphics card that's why i'm searchin a lighter distro [07:41] Had the issue in 12.10 & 13.04 viper [07:41] Dr willis anothrr solution is to boot win and use kied or unmonut microsd and connect to pc via adapter because i dont need to tranfers huge files every day [07:41] _Dirk_: lightest ubuntu variant wwill be Lubuntu. other then that.. anything lighter will be non-ubuntu based. === andrex|off is now known as andrex [07:41] Area51 galxy s3? [07:41] or rolling your own ubuntu mini install [07:41] <_Dirk_> thing is i have no problems watching anything on xp.... but i hate windows and my mac book just got stollen [07:41] _Dirk_: if lubuntu doesn't do it for you then you could install the mini.iso and install something like fluxbox [07:42] What about out Viper? [07:42] _Dirk_: if you dont have the right 3d/video card drivers installed for the card. that will make things sluggish [07:42] Send from pc to gslaxy s3 [07:42] *it [07:42] Via bt [07:42] I cant [07:42] <_Dirk_> i turned to ubuntu because i'm sick of installing drivers [07:42] I had an HTC and Samsung viper [07:43] <_Dirk_> how do i know if i have the correct drivers installed with ubuntu [07:43] There are a bunch of bug reports [07:43] So blueman is the answer? [07:43] _Dirk_: What type of video card do you have? You can find out with lspci [07:43] _Dirk_: your graphics card is seriously too old, you are likely using the right drivers from the beginning (no need to install others) [07:43] Installing blueman was easiest fix to get it working [07:43] I'll give it a chance [07:44] Before installing it would fail trying to transfer to phone [07:44] <_Dirk_> i was going to try xubuntu before going to L... HISTO http://imagebin.org/259786 [07:44] Thank you area51 and dr willis and everyone here [07:44] Problem started with 12.10 & later [07:44] :) [07:45] Area with android 2.3 no problems via bt or usb. Samsung disabled mass storage usb in jelly bean [07:46] Good to know viper...looking at getting s4 soon [07:46] viper155: as i already said, it was not samsung, it was google [07:46] _Dirk_: how much ram do you have? [07:46] viper155: because of licence issues [07:47] Iceroor right :-) [07:47] <_Dirk_> oh well.... if i was a chick i'd work the streets and buy a badass machine but i'm a felon with no job and support myself doing tattoo's out of a dingy little tattoo shop... i can't afford a new comp.... HISTO... 1 gig of ram/ 2 gig CPU [07:48] Area51 s4 will be as s3 same firmware [07:48] _Dirk_: thats no problem and we respect it, for that case we have for example lubuntu which is perfectly for older systems [07:48] 4.2.2 [07:48] _Dirk_: What is your question? [07:48] Yes [07:48] viper155: #android [07:48] Thank you ice [07:49] A good day guys bye [07:49] ;-) [07:50] ;) [07:50] <_Dirk_> HISTO ive been pouring over google pages all day trying to find a distro that will work for me. i'm just getting some advice... i'm looking for something that i can do audio and video editing on... people did it in 2001 when this machine was top of the line, so i'm just trying to put the right os and software to edit like its the 90's dude [07:50] hi [07:51] _Dirk_: you won't get anywhere, you machine is just too old [07:51] _Dirk_: for the os i would recommend lubuntu. there you can install all programs which are also available for xubuntu, ubuntu-studio, ubuntu and so on [07:51] setting up MTP was not that hard for 12.x i recall following the guides on either ombubuntu or webupd8 and getting it working [07:51] _Dirk_: well you are able to run ubuntu xubuntu lubuntu or any of the derivatives with that hardware. For more performance I would run xubuntu or lubuntu and install audacity or whatever editors you need. [07:51] auronandace: i am using 630mhz, 512mb ram, 12gb hdd here without any problems [07:52] auronandace: please don't have the windows mindset of what hardware is needed to run linux. You can run even modern distros on some pretty old hardware. [07:52] _Dirk_: back then editing a 640x480 video was a big deal.. now these days they are HD huge GB sized files.. ;) so 'video editing' has a large varity of needs [07:52] iceroot: are you also editing audio and video on that? [07:52] auronandace: mostly pictures [07:52] <_Dirk_> ya... i'm downloading xubuntu now, i'm gonna take that for a test drive when it's done downloading, using my optimus s sprint phone getting 11m/s... 3 days from now!!!!! lol [07:53] sprint? fast downloads? what?!? [07:53] auronandace: minimum specs for desktop is 700Mhz with 512MB or ram and 5GB hard drive [07:53] i think it would be time to head to the nearwst free wifi location and download the iso there..... [07:53] histo, that means they're under the minimum specs. and we are talking about video and audio editing, which is more intensive. [07:53] histo: with respect, he wants to do audio and video editing, i doubt those specs would cut it [07:53] <_Dirk_> echoe... right... jesus i'm f-ing dying over here [07:54] i misread it as 11M/sec i think [07:54] _Dirk_, What is your computer? [07:54] <_Dirk_> it's not for a film coming out in nation wide theaters... i'm using adobe flash and making cartoons man!!! [07:55] _Dirk_: you do realize that flash is rather poorly supported in linux? [07:55] ... yeah, flash isn't computer intensive at all [07:55] <_Dirk_> DEEPFI... it's custom built [07:55] _Dirk_: flash performance on a cpu that old is rather abysmal [07:56] flash is rather poor.. on anything these days it seems. ;) [07:56] ++on flash being poor. [07:56] gimp does have an animation package/feature// but ive never ussed it [07:56] it's great on the ipad! [07:56] <_Dirk_> ive only had ubuntu for 3 days... i havn't been able to test flash yet... but i'm not stingy i'll learn another program to make cartoons... i just wanted to try linux out [07:57] _Dirk_: so you installed wubi from some ISO file? thst you still have downloaded? or how did you download the iso for wubi? [07:57] <_Dirk_> utorrent [07:57] and what release are you using now in wubi? [07:57] <_Dirk_> 12.1 i think [07:58] _Dirk_: you do know you can install the 'lubuntu-dektop' package and try out lxde on that wubi install? [07:58] Gimp = Adobe Ilistrator, Inkscape = CorelDraw/Adobe flash. I use CLI PovRay for animations + Inkscape [07:59] _Dirk_: so what are you downloading right now anyway? [07:59] auronandace: sure they would.. it depends on the editors and what sort of "editing" he will be doing. He's not going to be making the next Toy Story on those specs but he can edit a home video just fine. [07:59] <_Dirk_> xubuntu and Lubuntu. Mint... umm... Fedora... Puppy [08:00] _Dirk_: what VersIOn of xubuntu and lubuntu? and why even bother with mint and fredora [08:00] _Dirk_: an install of the lubuntu-desktop package will be about a 400mb download on the pc i imagine... [08:00] <_Dirk_> cause i'm dumb... i don't know shit about linux... so i'm [08:00] forget mint, and forget fedrora [08:01] what version of xubuntu and lubuntu are you downloading? [08:01] <_Dirk_> X & L are both 13.04 i386 [08:01] _Dirk_: and whats your CPU exactly? === claudio is now known as Guest33158 [08:02] _Dirk_: because 13.04 REQUIRES a pae enabled CPU. [08:02] iirc i386 has been dropped for quite some time now [08:02] <_Dirk_> http://imagebin.org/259786 [08:02] <_Dirk_> so i'm wasting my time... i need like version 10? [08:02] hey guys i need a small help, whenever i view youtube videos in fullscreen the quality becomes jagged. how do i fix it? [08:03] _Dirk_: whats what im driving at.. 12.04 or 12.10 may be the latest you can use.. depending on your cpu/ [08:03] Just_Me: what gpu? install the drivers [08:03] when did the PAE needed kick in? 12.10? [08:03] _Dirk_, I THINK Xubuntu 12.04 can still run without PAE. [08:03] <_Dirk_> ok so i need 12.04 === rosco_y is now known as rosco_away [08:03] _Dirk_: and tip #!1 ---> Instsll the pastebinit command and stop posting screenshots of terminals... [08:04] _Dirk_: this is why i asked what iso you used fo ryour wubi install. [08:04] <_Dirk_> well thanx for the headsup... ive only wasted about 4 hours downloading 13.04 [08:04] _Dirk_: was it 12.10 or 12.04 ? [08:04] aeon-ltd: im on NVIDIA(laptop) current installed driver is 3.19 === y_ is now known as Phryq [08:04] Just_Me, You possibly can't. Flash on any Linux is terribly inefficient. [08:05] oh ok. [08:05] linux is terribly inefficient [08:05] <_Dirk_> i'm not sure it's what ever is offered on the ubuntu wubi website [08:05] your cpu DOES mention 'pae' in the screeen shot.. [08:05] \troll [08:05] so is there no around this? [08:05] when I try to install flash player from the software center I get this, pastie.org/7992346 [08:05] *way [08:05] woah flash does work well enough for video playback [08:05] _dirk: The basic Kernel is going to be aproximetly the same size, very small. If you add a X window and a GUI desktop. Which desktop you use determines the memory and CPU requirements. LXDE is a very small memory requirement desktop. KDE is the fattest desktop. KDE also has many "wiz-bangs" that look nice but cost memory and CPU. [08:05] _Dirk_: for what you are doing.. you may gain very little by using 13.04 over 12.04 or 12.10 [08:06] I've recently installed the new Ubuntu and since then I've had problems installing a few programs. I'm wondering if I should just do another fresh install [08:06] like, maybe the install didn't go right, so it's having a hard time installing software now. Is that likely? [08:06] Just_Me, I'm not sure, what browser, graphics driver, flash version and hardware do you have? [08:06] <_Dirk_> i'm not running the 13.04... i should have known not to download it... i'll correct it [08:07] Phryq, Did you run a integrity check before installing? [08:07] _Dirk_: also im not sure how much i would trust a 1+gb download over a slow cellphone connection to be 'correct' [08:07] yes, but I'm actually not sure what the results of the check were [08:07] and 12.10 or 12.04 will do you fine for the tasks you have mentioned [08:07] <_Dirk_> can i use 12.10 and put lxde on it and be ok? [08:07] <_Dirk_> it's 3g [08:08] can I run another integrity check now? or is it too late? [08:08] _Dirk_: yeah [08:08] @Deepfriedice chrome ver.27 / NVIDIA 3.19 [08:08] _Dirk_: we have said several times - you can install lubuntu-desktop package on any ubuntu install and it will 'add' lxde/lubuntu' to the install [08:08] Phryq, you run the integrity check on the disk/flashdrive [08:08] _Dirk_: so all you need to do on your current WUBI install is install 'lubuntu-desktop' then select lubuntu at the login screen [08:08] can I put the flashdrive in now, and run the check from Ubuntu? [08:08] it will be a few100mb download most likely. [08:09] <_Dirk_> do i need to change something on the usb driveinstallation image [08:09] or I guess I can just re-boot from the flash and run the check, right? [08:09] _Dirk: THE cool thing about Linux is you can install many versions and choose at boot time. Your software stays pretty much the same. So you can easily start with 12.04 and then just upgrade to 13.10 (not out yet). You can just as easily downgrade by using the package manager. [08:09] _Dirk_: what usb drive install image/ if its a UBUNtu image.. you install UBUNtu, then add lubuntu-desktop afterwards [08:09] do not downgrade [08:09] Just_Me, Chrome huh? I think that has it's own copy of flash. How does video playback do outside youtube, can you play the same resolution videos fullscreen? [08:09] !downgrade | artiken [08:09] artiken: Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. [08:10] I know I did it. [08:10] <_Dirk_> ok... thanx guys... it's 4am i'll pick this up tomorrow [08:10] :P [08:10] Phryq, You have to boot from the flashdrive, and pick "integrity check" rather than "start ubuntu" [08:10] @Deepfriedice i get similar quality when viewed fullscreen even outside youtube. [08:11] ok, will do that now. Thanks [08:11] required a format. but the good side was the many partitions so the /usr/share/apt/.. directory still had the software versions already downloaded. [08:12] Then it's not flash. And if you are running the latest nvidia drivers, it's probably you're hardware. [08:12] *your === y_ is now known as Phryq [08:13] did the disk check. No errors === rosco_away is now known as rosco_y [08:14] fast though, eh? It's on an SSD [08:14] Supper Speedy Drive [08:15] so reinstalling the OS won't do anything if there are no disk defects? [08:15] Phryq...I've had bad installs before [08:16] Phryq, What EXACTLY do you mean by "It's on an SSD"? [08:16] Where re install was better than initial [08:17] oh, I meant my hard drive is a solid state drive, which is why I can shut-down and boot up so quick. (That wouldn't effect the disk-check time though, of course). [08:18] do you think I'm not connected to a certain repository, and that's why I can't install a bunch of programs and get these unmet dependency errors? [08:18] What can't you install? [08:19] flash [08:20] It's always flash [08:20] Uh, can you post the error you get? [08:20] Use chrome. :P [08:21] pastie.org/7992346 [08:21] Do you have flash available in the software center [08:22] yes [08:22] that's where I tried to get it from [08:22] it's not the only install that gives me that error, just the most recent thing I've tried installing [08:23] but I get it when I try to install a bunch of things [08:23] oops wrong channel [08:23] some things, like VLC, install fine. I don't know what the pattern is. [08:24] area51pilot, I get the same error installing chromium, though it's more specific about what dependencies it can't meet [08:24] should I post them? [08:25] Yes [08:25] http://pastie.org/7992381 [08:25] Phryq, No, what program are you useing for package management? [08:25] Ubuntu Software Center [08:25] There s a manual install for flash in this link: [08:25] http://forums.adobe.com/message/4724232 [08:26] Phryq, That actually looks really wrong. [08:27] Get Synaptic, (it's better) and lets see I we can find out what's going on. [08:27] Hi, I have a C510 Logitech webcam. VLC and Cheese show a stretched 4:3 image when set to 16:9. How can I get it to record in unsquashed 16:9? [08:28] http://postimg.org/image/lyz8zpuzn/ [08:29] there's a screenshot with the errors [08:30] Oh dear. [08:30] Let's try Synaptic. [08:31] apparently I have programs installed which cannot be installed at the same time? Should I just try uninstalling those?

[08:53] will try that not dr_willis , thanks [08:53] i rarely have any prroblems with ubuntu [08:53] Same here [08:53] I must have bad computer karma [08:54] same error still [08:54] the error messages says you got tht package held for some reason. Unhold it. ;) [08:54] #gay [08:54] or just remove it.. heh [08:54] how do I do that? [08:54] but im not sure what nss' does.. sounds imporntant [08:54] -f force and fix? [08:55] sudo apt-get -f might straighten it out [08:55] ;) [08:55] Maybe [08:55] i rarely have apt issues.. so rarely need to try to fix things. [08:56] i bet askubuntu.com has dozzens of suggestions on fixing it ;) [08:56] Sometimes # [08:56] $h!+ just happens [08:56] did " sudo apt-get -f" and it told me it has Super Cow Powers. [08:57] sudo apt-get remove nss would remove that nss package i imagine. but that may also uninstall other sstuff [08:57] Wow [08:57] if it uninstalls other stuff, can I just re-install that other stuff, or might that break my system? [08:57] I guess I might as well try [08:57] its possible you rnss package got updated from some of the reepos you had added [08:57] What's the worst that can happen? [08:57] Reinstall? [08:58] theres a way to tell it to uninstall/reinstall but ive rarelyneeded that [08:58] :P [08:58] "E: Unable to locate package nss" [08:58] !find nss [08:58] Found: insserv, libavahi-compat-libdnssd-dev, libavahi-compat-libdnssd1, libcrypt-openssl-bignum-perl, libcrypt-openssl-random-perl, libcrypt-openssl-rsa-perl, libcurl3-nss, libcurl4-nss-dev, libcurl4-openssl-dev, libevent-openssl-2.0-5 (and 90 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=nss&searchon=names&suite=raring§ion=all [08:58] what was the package name it was complaining about?

[08:59] !info nss [08:59] Package nss does not exist in raring [08:59] It's a quick install [08:59] if I want to experiment I'll do it in a virtual machine [08:59] a remove of that package once you determins its real name.. should fix things.. would be my guess [08:59] I've wasted more time trying to fix a botched system [08:59] oh ya? [08:59] so how do I find it's real name? [09:00] and apt-get DOES support tab completion :) to make it easier to use [09:00] what does thee error message say the package name is?

I'll try that one [09:04] Ponch0: what's the error you get? [09:04] Seveas: you're also having issues? I ended up with unity after upgarde!!! yuck! now, my mouse doesn't work at login aaand I login AS "gnome display manager" [09:04] http://pastie.org/7992431#1,5,8,10 there's the chromium error. It does mention libnss [09:04] Ponch0: after upgrading from what? [09:04] hi, i'm running ubuntu 12.04 lts with nvidia drivers, i'm stuck at 800x600 and i cant get my native res === rosco_y is now known as rosco_away [09:05] Ponch0: log in on a terminal, found out which new packages got installed (in /var/log/dpkg.log) and remove them [09:05] whats a good free video editor that i can use on windows also? [09:05] resolutionprob: the nvidia-settings tool does verify you are using the nvidia drivers? [09:05] yes [09:05] Abbas|: avidemux is handy [09:05] Abbas|: kdenlive works pretty well [09:05] it was a dist-upgrade, removed a bunch of packages, installed others, updating during the day to 3-0-23 was not issue, but the packages was what messed it up [09:05] I don't have that issue as I'm on 12.10 still and use Unity :) [09:05] I'm just gonna do a new install and will see what things are like after that. Cya guys [09:05] thanks [09:05] Abbas|: don't know about Windows though [09:05] is it gui or console? [09:06] Ponch0: when you say "dist-upgrade" do you mean updating from one version of Ubuntu to another? [09:06] a console video editor? Hmmm.... [09:06] cant say ive really seen a console bassed video editor.. [09:06] dr_willis: back in the day, I used to edit video with vi [09:06] video reencoders.. yes.. but not a 'typical' editor [09:06] gordonjcp: No, im sorry my terminology is iffy, I have a fresh install of JUST ubuntu-gnome 13.04 [09:06] dr_willis: granted, that was making up EDLs to be fed to an offline controller [09:07] NVIDIA Driver Version:304.88 [09:07] dr_willis: write a text file, save to floppy, and then stand there feeding tapes into the playback deck ;-) [09:07] gordonjcp: Bah! luxery... back in my days.. we used to print things out on puncards to make animated booklets! :) [09:07] gordonjcp: not anymore, it was a "partial upgrade", which removed/updated/installed new/old packages. [09:07] dr_willis: hah, rockin' [09:08] dr_willis: http://cli-apps.org/ [09:08] I haven't touched any software sources in over a month, unity is seriously a virus.. [09:08] Unity works very well.. plese no ranting. [09:08] I'm sure it does, my apologies. [09:09] now package bug/regressions... :) those are a pain. [09:09] :c [09:09] by 'dist-upgrade' you did a 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' you mean? [09:10] or did you do a release upgrade to the next release? [09:10] I just upgraded to 13.04, I seem to have both gnome session fallback bar at the bottom of the screen and also unity side panel (only when I log in with session fallback and effects on) [09:10] well, since I have unity now, how can I properly fix the login screen so I don't log in AS "Gnome disp Manager", [09:10] I would like to remove the sidebar. [09:10] dr_willis: no sir, I used software updater. [09:10] Ponch0: to upgrade to the next release? [09:10] dr_willis: Yes, that's the only thing I use. [09:11] is the software updater. [09:11] Giles1: you could see if a newly made user has the same issues. if a newly made user works properly - that points to some user config issue in the files in the users home. [09:12] Updater earlier during the day to 3-0-23, everything was fine, then about 20 minutes ago, I clicked software updater, told my I have 75 packages to be installed/removed/upgraded [09:12] a 'software update' is differnt then a 'release upgrade' so did you go from 12.04 to 12.10 or somthing? or just updateed the packages FOR 12..04 ? or whatever release you are using? [09:12] No, sir I have a fresh install of ubuntu-gnome 13.04 for over a month now. [09:13] dr_willis ok, I will try that. [09:13] been working 14 hrs here all week.. so ive not even done any updates in a week ;() [09:13] not seen anyone else in here today mentioning 13.04 update issues either (yet) :) [09:14] dr_willis: wow, well thanks for you attempt, I appreciate it, get some sleep :) [09:14] i still got an hr to go befor i head home from work.. [09:14] :) gotta love being able to IRC while at work [09:14] yeahhhh [09:14] sweet [09:14] Just a quickie tho, how can I fix the login screen issue, I'll stick to unity for now since it's here, I haven't backed up my files. [09:14] dr_willis: you're a trooper haha. [09:15] what login screen issue? [09:15] using irssi to connect from a server through ssh :3 [09:15] emily_: i tend to use weechat. ;) [09:15] i have wee couldnt figure how to start it remotely tho ^^ [09:16] ssh in.. run 'weechat' [09:16] oh ok haha thanks i go try now [09:16] theres a experimental weechat-on-android client that connets to weechat on your pc also. ;) [09:16] After I restarted the computer, after the update/upgrade whatever that is. it goes into a display manager. There my mouse doesn't work or anything else, I hit ctrl alt del and it says "You're logged in AS "Gnome Display Manager", logs me out after 60 seconds, the display manager shows up again but now I can use my keyboard to log in. === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [09:17] Gnome dosplay manager is the X login screen.. it does run as the GDM user . You could try switching back to lightdm to see if lightdm works any better. (or switch back to gdm later) via the command....... [09:17] But I have to choose with the arrow keys "Ubuntu" from "System default" at bottom of display manager before I type in password. [09:17] any idea, dr_willis? o-o [09:17] sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm (or gdm) [09:18] dr_willis: thank you much, all your hard work does not go unappreciated. [09:18] i tend to use gdm because it looks nicer. ;) [09:18] dr_willis: yup, that's what I've been using, I'm really not sure what happened. [09:19] But now it's a different display manager.. Oh well. [09:19] you could try older kenerls from the grub menu also.. see if older kerneles work. [09:19] they may be having some issue with gdm/lightdm [09:19] or go funky and try some alteernatives to gdm/lightdm ;) [09:19] !info slim [09:19] slim (source: slim): desktop-independent graphical login manager for X11. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.3.4-2ubuntu1 (raring), package size 877 kB, installed size 1486 kB [09:20] i cant even rember the other *dm managers [09:20] dr_willis: alrighty, again thanks for your help. :) enjoy your day/night. [09:22] It seems I have both, GDM and lightdm installed on my system after "update", can I remove one of them using Synaptic Package Manager, or should I use command line? [09:22] I'm trying to play nice, must back up files first :) [09:23] hey [09:23] so I just did a clean install. I've done *nothing* to the system except install x-chat [09:23] but when I try to install Flash I get the same error as before === rosco_away is now known as rosco_y [09:24] raaawr [09:25] i just leave all the dms installed in case one goofs up. ;) [09:25] Phryq: you did a sudo apt-get upgrade? [09:25] then how are you installing flash? [09:25] from the software center [09:26] should I do a sudo apt-get upgrade right after a clean install? [09:26] use the command line.. that way you see errors. ;) [09:26] i always do a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' after installing.. to be sure its all up to date [09:26] oh ok. I'll do it in a minute. The automatic updater has started so I have to let it finish [09:27] thats basically doing the same thing then. ;) [09:31] dr_willis I tried with a fresh user account and it was no different. [09:31] Is there a way to upgrade Xubuntu from 12 to 13 ? [09:31] Giles1: that is weird.. [09:32] atomx: you can do release upgrdess from 12.x to 13.x [09:32] !upgrade [09:32] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [09:32] dr_willis: Can I remove unity packages all together? [09:32] thanks. did somebody did it before, in order to tell me whethere it's worth doing it [09:32] ? [09:32] what does the diffrences for me to install uefi rather than bios? [09:32] Giles1: guess you could.. but i perfer unity [09:33] dr_willis: I said can "I" [09:33] Giles1: how were you using the old gnome look? you dident install cinnimon or anything else weird did you? [09:33] dr_willis, http://i.imgur.com/dkxWtJK.png [09:33] dr_willis: no just gnome-session-fallback [09:34] Giles1: you can use the package manager and uninstall anythin gyou want.. but it may break the whole system .. its hard to tell sincce your system is allready acting goofy [09:34] dr_willis: yeah I use apt-get [09:35] Hello! Is anyone here using VMware Player? Why is it being downloaded as a 177 MB big .txt file? [09:36] dr_willis: Its not major worries, I just wont use compiz effects. [09:36] Hi [09:37] hmmm. [09:37] treetreetr33: It's not a text file, it's a file which contains an install script at the beginning, and the data to be installed follows after the script. [09:38] Which operating downloads faster?> [09:38] Hello. This isn't directly related to Ubuntu, but can anybody recommend a good filemanager that is also highly customizable by Python plugins? [09:38] dropbox [09:38] Mrokii: Dropbox i recommend. [09:38] nautilus has the often overlooked 'nautilus scripts' feature. [09:39] but other then that.. i dont even recall any file managers with fancy scripting plugins [09:40] dr_willis: I despise the latest Nautilus and regard it as broken beyond belief, tbh. That's why I'm looking for alternatives. [09:40] Hello! Is anyone here using VMware Player? Why is it being downloaded as a 177 MB big .txt file? [09:40] dr [09:41] iPenguin: I will take a look, thanks. [09:41] err.. dropbox is not a file manager... [09:41] Mrokii:Your welcome [09:41] Its a file uploading one. [09:41] Mrokii: theres some patched nautiuls's out and theres dozens of other file managers in the repos. [09:41] treespider: It's not a text file, it's a file which contains an install script at the beginning, and the data to be installed follows after the script. [09:41] treespider: use 'file' to check what the actual file format is [09:41] dr_willis: I did the steps recommended there , and to me the newest version appears to be 12.10 , not 13 :( [09:42] Jordan_U: How on earth do I use it? :/ [09:42] I am using Xubuntu, not Ubuntu [09:42] How can I upgrade to 13 ? [09:42] How do I view all my installed apps in the search tab? [09:42] atomx: you upgrade from one relase to the next.. you dont Skip btween relesses.. uneless you are going from a LTS to LTS trelese [09:42] yeats: How? [09:42] dr_willis: I guess there are a lot of file manager but that's the problem also. Too many to choose from. [09:42] It's only showing some of the most used when I click view more, it shows only a few of the more used apps. [09:42] !vmware | treespider [09:42] treespider: VMWare is not available in the Ubuntu repositories. Consider using !QEmu or !VirtualBox as alternatives. Instructions for installing VMWare manually are at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VMware [09:42] atomx: so you go 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 [09:43] treespider: 'file filename' [09:43] Jordan_U: Thanks. [09:43] yeats: Thanks. [09:43] treespider: You're welcome. [09:43] Can anyone tell me which ubuntu operating system downloads faster? [09:43] Mrokii: decide on what features you want the most i guess. [09:43] dr_willis: you mean, I have to upgrade to 12.10, then it will appear 13 ? [09:43] i downloaded the normal one which takes 18 hours to download. [09:43] atomx: thats what i said... [09:43] atomx: so you go 12.04 -> 12.10 -> 13.04 [09:43] :) thanks [09:44] great [09:44] iPenguin: they're all about the same size unless you download the mini.iso version [09:44] iPenguin: you are asking what release is a SMALLer size to download then? [09:44] !mini | iPenguin [09:44] iPenguin: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [09:44] Jordan_U: The bot is wrong. There's no instructions there! :) [09:45] Umm, i have no DVD for that. [09:45] Ponch0: you can run aptitude directly, or in command line you can do dpkg --get-selections [09:45] treespider: before you continue, are you sure you *need* vmware here? virtualbox is freely available in the repos and will do most of the same things (otherwise you can also use KVM) [09:45] use a usb flash drive iPenguin [09:45] treespider: Yes there are. Read more carefully. [09:46] bye all.. [09:46] yeats: Well, VMware Player is free too, and I've used it on my Windows PC. [09:46] atomx: thank you. [09:46] Jordan_U: I can't find them. [09:47] If i installed ubuntu without the gui, how can I install the GUI? [09:47] treespider: I guess it's not stated explicitly, but the reason "VMware Player" is red is that it's a link to the page on installing VMware Player. [09:47] Is there an apt-get install unity or something//. [09:47] One last question, I swear, how do I modify the sidebar in Unity? make it smaller, move it somewhere else... things like that. [09:47] Senjai: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [09:48] Senjai: That will get you all of the packages which would be installed by default in a normal Ubuntu Desktop installation. [09:48] treespider: I would recommend giving vbox a shot: 'sudo apt-get install virtualbox' [09:48] Jordan_U: OMG! I really need some coffee. [09:48] treespider: if it doesn't work for you, remove it and install vmware [09:48] Jordan_U: will it turn on by defult? [09:49] yeats: I keep hearing that VirtualBox from Ubuntu Software Center is outdated, and last time I tried it, I ran into all kinds of strange error messages. [09:49] Senjai: Yes, after installing the ubuntu-desktop package lightdm will start automatically at boot. [09:49] treespider: you can get the newest version here: https://www.virtualbox.org/wiki/Linux_Downloads [09:50] yeats: I'll use VirtualBox (newest version) if you guide me through it. ;) [09:50] treespider: I'm not able to commit to that - if you hit problems, just ask the channel and someone can help [09:51] treespider: it's quite simple if you google up the steps, I'm clueless with this thing and it wasn't much I could do to mess it up following the steps :) [09:51] yeats: :( Ponch0: I'm scared! [09:52] treespider: you'll be just fine, believe in yourself!. The coolest part is, whatever space you use to install it to, you can just delete it with the Virtual Box without having to go through some wipey tool. [09:53] Ponch0: Thanks.

Wireshar shows me lots of of traffic with one server, htop shows me that root is running apt-get -qq -y -d dist-upgrade - how can i stop that?

Does Ecryptfs offer this capability?

[10:02] Baahtti: No. [10:02] Jordan_U: so my setting changed and i would like to stop the current process without getting my system into trouble [10:02] i would like to do a minimalistic install with the default window manager (gnome i guess). is there an official how to or do i need to know which package does what? [10:02] Jordan_U: that's why i am afraid to just kill apt-get [10:02] yeats: Any idea? [10:02] Benkinooby: You can just kill it.

[10:08] Jordan_U: hm, something restarted it Oo [10:08] minimec: Yes. [10:08] Jordan_U: i will investigate on, thank you for your help [360]Developer thank you too [10:09] minimec: Intel i5-3450. [10:09] treespider: The think is... You are running a PAE kernel, because 13.04 only comes with PAE kernels by default... [10:09] <[360]Developer> viran: are you running your virtualbox as nat? [10:10] [360]Developer: no, as internal network [10:10] treespider: I have an i7-3630QM, and I did not experience those issues in VB although I no longer use that. [10:10] minimec: So what on earth is going on?! [10:10] treespider: Can you give me the 'error message' again? [10:10] Ponch0: Thank you for answering. [10:10] I am trying to install gnome 3.8 on to ubuntu 13.04 in a VM... after adding the repository I get unmet dependencies: Gnome-shell depends: libpango-1.0-0, depends libpangocairo-1.0-0 but is not installable. Any suggestions? [10:10] <[360]Developer> viran: whats your version of virtualbox? [10:10] [360]Developer: i have to machines, i set them ip addresses, and everything is fine. after a minutes both of the machine lose my ip settings [10:10] minimec: "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: pae" [10:11] [360]Developer: 4.2.8 [10:11] treespider: what are you trying to run? [10:11] in the machine. [10:11] <[360]Developer> viran: thats just crazy [10:12] treespider: what is the output of 'uname -a'? [10:12] [360]Developer: could it be an ubuntu issue? [10:12] Ponch0: I wanted to look at Debian and have it installed and ready if I ever decide to run Windows in a virtual machine. [10:12] join #debian [10:13] treespider: from personal experience I had a lot of issues with debian on newer machines.

I've just created my own bash script that suspends my lenovo g580 laptop when the lid is closed. The problem is that when I open the lid again, my screen turns black and I can't do anything. Could you please check my scripts for faults, as I don't know bash at all. Thanks!

Thank you! :) [10:16] minimec: That is very nice of you. [10:16] hrm, so WebcamStudio is no longer supported. Does anyone know of a dependable virtual web cam running on Ubuntu? [10:17] treespider: no problem... That's 'Google-fu'... [10:17] minimec: :) [10:17] [360]Developer: if i keep ping running from one machine to the other, they dont lose the network settings [10:17] Jordan_U: yeats: minimec: Ponch0: Thank you all for helping me. I'm gonna go now. Bye! [10:18] Baahtti: What exactly do you want to do. You can use gstreamer from the 'command line', depending on your needs. [10:18] Hi folks, I want to package a scala build tool for a ppa that build-depends on itself. Is there any documentation about packaging scala (or java for that matter), and about bootstrapping a package? [10:19] minimec, well, my real issue is that I can't seem to solve my "upside down video" on Skype. I was hoping to find an easier fix by using a virtual webcam and inverting that in skype. [10:19] If I run sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop currently on my ubuntu 13.04, will I lose all my files? [10:20] Ponch0: No, that is save [10:21] martijnHH: the files are saved?, just clarifying [10:21] hi all.can anyone help with a persistence issue with Ubuntu on a USB stick? [10:22] Baahtti: Well... You could install v4l2loopback-source (also v4l2loopback-dkms) from the repos. That gives you a virtual /dev/videoX after 'modprobe v4l2loopback. Then you pipe your webcam to the virtual device and flip the picture with gstreamer. [10:22] [360]Developer: is it possible to create another host only adapter? [10:22] ubuntu_newbie: are you using a live cd or did you install it to the stick [10:23] i have it installed on a stick. it is running now on laptop. [10:23] is it recommended to install via UEFI? for ubuntu [10:23] minimec, woah, that is a bit advanced for me. Let me try to let that sink in. [10:23] however, when i quit, all my settings disappear [10:23] Hi. If anyone could check my 19-line bash script meant to suspend - and un-suspend my laptop on lid-close for errors I would be very gratefull! [10:23] http://pastebin.com/VqsZkWhu [10:23] problem - when i open lid after suspend, screen turns black and I can't do anything [10:24] i have used various installers and tried different distros and checked the persistence option each time, but with no luck [10:24] hi o/ === Dat_ is now known as Dat === webanywhere is now known as SymeonT [10:26] i have run ubuntu from a usb stick before with settings being saved, so i am not sure where i am going wrong this time [10:29] minimec, so if I did "modprobe v4l2loopback", that is asking the kernal to check for and load up the v4l2loopback driver which will mount a virtual device: /dev/videoX? [10:31] Baahtti: Exactly. If you load that one at boot (placing the 'v4l2loopback' in /etc/modules) it will always be /dev/video0. [10:32] minimec, and to load at boot, I need to edit something in init! [10:32] <[360]Developer> viran: sorry i'm back, yes you can, but knowing now that your connection is sleeping is a new problem [10:32] minimec, let me have a look in there real quick [10:33] Baahtti: Exactly. If you load that one at boot (placing the 'v4l2loopback' in /etc/modules) it will always be /dev/video0. [10:36] i think ubuntu is simply the best operating system in the world [10:36] no [10:36] why would you go and say a stupid thing like that? [10:37] minimec, hrm, I'm scared looking at /etc/init. I know I should place that modprobe somewhere in one of those files, but I'm not certain which one. [10:37] TaZeR: you asked, i answered [10:37] TaZeR: ... because the best operating system is our planet earth ... ;) [10:37] what i the world can be better than a fresb ubuntu installl [10:37] Xubuntu has a wonderful (in my opinion) theme called "Blackbird" and I am wondering if there is a way to install it on Ubuntu. I checked Google but did not come up with anything. [10:37] Baahtti: As I told you: /etc/modules ... [10:37] planet earth dont got shit on ubuntu [10:37] minimec, sorry for my oversight [10:37] the planet is fukin stupid [10:38] if it was smart it would wipe us all out [10:41] Hello, I have a short question about Gparted and a ext3 partition I have [10:41] Anyone want to help a poor newbie out?= :) [10:42] Bhaktar, ask your question , someone will help if he/she can [10:42] cool, didn't want to come in and spam an unknown channel :) [10:42] I got this sh script that suspends my laptop on lid-close. When I re-open the lid, the screen turns black and I can't do anything. If you could review my 19-line script I would be very gratefull! http://pastebin.com/VqsZkWhu === gstudent2 is now known as germanstudent [10:43] <[360]Developer> martinux: did you leave a video play running? [10:43] martinux system settings, power, suspend when the lid is closed [10:44] MonkeyDust: I'm on i3wm, not using the gnome-manager-thingy [10:44] [360]Developer: no [10:44] martinux if you want it in a script, better ask in #bash [10:44] I have a hdd of 2TB. I had a ntfs partition on it. I shrunk it and transfered the data to a new 1.3TB ext3 partition. Now I resized this to 2TB (which of 400 gb is data). The gparted takes over 30 hours. Can I just stop it when it have moved 400 gb data to the left? [10:46] minimec, Should I have this modprobe at the top or bottom of /etc/modules file? [10:46] Bhaktar: Is it still going or are you asking because you stopped it? [10:46] ';, [10:46] <[360]Developer> martinux: can you still see the mouse on your blank screen? [10:47] rarrikins: It's still going on. I wish I'd resized my ext3 to 400 gb before resizing to 2TB [10:47] I updated ubuntu to 13.10 and my notebook does not shutdown/reboot/suspend/hibernate properly as before. Is there a channel where I can ask for help or this one fits? [10:47] Baahtti: you don't add the modprobe, just the name of the module. And it usually goes at the bottom, but so long as it is on a line by itself it should work. [10:48] ah, thanks th0r [10:48] Baahtti: That should not matter. Per default I think you have 'lp' and 'rtc' in there. Just put it after these two lines. [10:48] modprobe is a command I'd run so that I won't need to restart? [10:48] Bhaktar, gparted has to finish it's processes , there's more to do than just transfer data, if you stop that process it the data may be inaccessible i [10:48] 1 [10:49] test [10:49] Baahtti: yes, modprobe installs a module from the command line. If the module is in that file it gets installed at boot [10:49] Baahtti: If you put 'v4l2loopback' in /etc/modules and reboot, you're good. Otherwise. 'modprobe v4l2loopback' in a terminal. [10:50] Bhaktar: Is the hard drive light still going? [10:50] gotcha! I'm starting to get the hang of this. Eventually I'll understand what it is I'm doing [10:50] Baahtti: In the 2nd case, the /dev/videoX device is added 'after' the Webcam. [10:51] is gstreamer native to 13.04? [10:51] Rarrikins: I have no problem really. Just that it's moving 1TB of non-data [10:51] Baahtti: Yes, but you need an additional package 'sudo apt-get omstall gstreamer-tools' [10:51] and that it takes 24 more hours, it's already been going for 20 -__- [10:51] thanks [10:54] (maybe #ubuntu+1) [10:54] Ubuntu Server running Samba with ACL? Who of you guys got it working with Windows clients? [10:55] Hey there. I'm trying to open a specific eps under evince, and it does not seem to work, if I have text [10:56] hey [10:56] I *can* see the miniature correctly, tough. I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, Evince 3.8.2 [10:58] i installes netbeans by 1-chmod 2-./netbeans....sh it installed it successfully . but there is not any netbeans icon and when i write netbeans in terminal it say netbeans have not installed [10:58] what the problem is? [10:59] <[360]Developer> tokern3: go back to the install file and check what is the correct way to start it [11:01] <[360]Developer> tokern3: I was able to start netbeans as sudo but not as normal user..  [11:02] [360]Developer: there is nothing to describe correct way. the only thing i have is netbeans-7.3-linux [11:02] [360]Developer: and i installed it as root. and i try to start it as root too. [11:03] Which is a very bad idea. [11:03] Install it as user, which wors without problems, and run it as user. [11:03] <[360]Developer> tokern3: try running it in its root folder as root in terminal [11:03] Dont run netbeans as root. [11:04] <[360]Developer> bekks: i always have problems with its plugin without root [11:05] Which doesnt turn running it as root into a sane idea :) Install the plugins as user, and you are fine. [11:06] <[360]Developer> bekks: good idea, /profile [11:06] o hai [11:07] Baahtti: Still listening? [11:08] Baahtti: I am 'away' for about 10-15 minutes. Will be back to help you afterwards. [11:13] minimec, alright thanks for all the help. Yes I'm playing around with gst-launch right now, learning about how it's functioning. I'm wondering though... [11:14] so if I load up my video device using a program, like Skype, and then run a gst commandline to update that 'feed' by flipping the image... [11:14] I think I'm thinking about this wrong [11:15] I need to have a secondary 'streaming video source' that I can pipe to [11:15] so like, if I'm using Skype and want to suddenly flip my video stream [11:16] let's say I just tell skype to use my default webcam, and no other video device is mounted. so /dev/video0 is my onboard cam and it's currently streaming video to Skype... [11:17] hi ubuntu [11:17] can I have gst update that device's stream? [11:17] hi cnu [11:17] hi baahtti [11:17] what's up [11:17] learning a ton! [11:17] <[FreeBSD]> f/q [11:17] <[FreeBSD]> si = [11:17] trying to troubleshoot my upside down skype video problem [11:17] ohh. [11:18] so I'm using gstreamer to flip my video [11:18] i'm just learning this ubuntu thing.. :) [11:18] Hey guyz, can anyone tell, is their any way out to crack ubuntu luser login password..?? [11:18] Hello. I'm on Ubuntu 12.04 and I have a monitor without any buttons for alignment or screen width, position etc... The problem is that the screen is shifted to the right. Anyone know how to correct this? It only happens after the OS is booted (no matter whether windows or ubuntu) [11:18] hai sienez. it may be due to ur monitor settings [11:19] sienez, check to see if your monitor's drivers are up to date [11:19] sienez: Are there knobs anywhere on the monitor (including on the back)? [11:20] (or in an openable panel) [11:20] if you had two monitors, I'd suggest disabling the problem one and then re-enabling... [11:20] can any one explain me what is this XChat.. i mean any specials in it.. [11:20] Baahtti: OK- I am back. Ready for some tests? [11:20] oh my, how embarrassing.. the buttons were indeed on the back [11:20] minimec, I have questions actually [11:20] thanks Rarrikins :) [11:21] minimec, I was playing around with gst-launch and figured out how to get the video stream to flip upside down [11:21] cnu: You can type /join #xchat [11:21] Baahtti: Check this 'howto' I just posted ... http://paste.ubuntu.com/5722570/ [11:21] cnu: The topic message for #xchat has some useful URLs in it, and you can ask questions there. [11:22] sienez: No problem. [11:22] Hey guyz, can anyone tell, is their any way out to crack ubuntu user login password..?? [11:22] thanks [11:22] Baahtti: Cool. So you just have to modify my commanf line and replace "aspectratiocrop aspect-ratio=16/9" with your tuff, I guess. [11:22] hrm [11:23] avi67: if you just want to reset a lost password there are easier ways of doing it. Actually cracking a password is hard, and although programs do exist they only work for very weak passwords [11:23] hi guys... running 12.04 64 bit... I'm wondering if someone can point me in the direction on how to update on board video drivers... I can't even seem to find commands to see what I have and it's version [11:23] marianne_: have you tried launching the additional drivers GUI program? [11:24] cnu: You're welcome. [11:24] join /hadoop [11:24] handuel0: I do know that it [11:25] marianne_, dkms status [11:25] handuel0: I do know it's nvidia and when I loaded the OS I did load the specific drivers [11:26] how to know list of chat rooms available.. any idea? [11:26] alright well let me reboot I guess [11:26] !alis | cnu [11:26] cnu: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode.

[11:30] marianne_: depends, do you want to do really heavy weight gaming on it :D [11:31] dipra: Just use wget [11:31] dipra http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/downloading-entire-web-site-wget [11:31] marianne_, use the recommended driver, it's best for most applications and effects [11:31] dipra: wget -m [11:31] handuel0: medium amount of gaming, mostly video and [11:32] streaming [11:32] wget?! let me read the link.

[11:33] any sticky notes kind of application in ubuntu? [11:33] cnu tomboy [11:33] cnu: tomboy [11:33] oh thanks. [11:33] ssh-server: then disable password based login [11:34] Baahtti: Do you have a dummy device in 'video', when you run 'gstreamer-properties' [11:34] ssh-server: /etc/ssh/sshd_config <---- Edit this [11:34] marianne_, don't fret the recommended current driver should work fine. [11:34] ssh-server: Enable key based auth, disable password based auth. [11:34] Great, thanks :) [11:35] heh, don't even have that package, just a sec [11:35] gordonjcp: never mind; i figured it out [11:35] ssh-server: make sure key based auth works before disabling password auth [11:35] phillyj: you want hdparm I think [11:35] BluesKaj: yeah... it's downloading now... under it there is one that says post release update and version current updates. Should I load that after the first one is done [11:35] Sure thing, histo :) [11:36] gordonjcp: i used hddtemp [11:37] minimec hrm, ok so gstreamer-properties showed me only the 'default' and 'webcam 2.0' items... [11:37] marianne_, just run the updates/upgrades after rebooting as you would normally and let the driver install as is. [11:37] phillyj: aha, perfect [11:37] minimec I think I need to pipe my video0 to v4l2src [11:38] Baahtti: 'sudo modprobe v4l2loopback', just to be sure, that the module is loaded... [11:38] minimec, gstreamer-properties gave me an option to 'test' the v4l2src pipeline and that worked [11:38] Which one is better? Tomboy or Xpad [11:38] marianne_: sorry I took time. I'd just use the recommended ones then, the latest ones can cause trouble [11:38] minimec, module v4l2loopback not found [11:39] minimec and when I do apt-get v4l2loopback-source it's already installed [11:39] Baahtti: OK. I'll be right back... [11:39] minimec, I think the error is in how we're invoking the driver [11:41] Baahtti: What version of ubuntu are you on. I use 12.04 here, and my pipe is working... [11:41] minimec, I'm on 13.04 [11:41] whois jjosh [11:41] sorry! [11:41] minimec, so I think the 'dummy device' is actually: v4l2src [11:42] but I'm only seeing the one /dev/video0 [11:42] handuel0: thanks.... rebooted and better already [11:42] Baahtti: Ok. Maybe they changed something again... Let me boot my 13.04 laptop and see... [11:42] BluesKaj: thanks, better already [11:42] marianne_: great. Glad I could help [11:43] marianne__, good to hear :) [11:45] hello can anybody help me to install the latest version from chromium browser i see in ubuntu 12 only are availble the 25 version i want to use the last stable version === Axlin_ is now known as Axlin [11:46] AlbertoM if it's not in the repos, you need a PPA, but that's not supported here [11:46] AlbertoM: Then just download the .deb from Google, and install it - I guess the have a PPA for it. [11:47] !latest [11:47] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea.

Why can't I just do: gst-launch v4l2src device=/dev/video1 ! v4l2sink device=/dev/video0 [12:52] mucha090: And why is it a problem if the content is cached on your harddisk?

[13:04] Baahtti: if it doesn't work then i recommend imo.

I thought that meant that rsync was riding over SSH. [13:09] primitive: Please keep it in this channel. If you want to be able to use your recovery partition, you would need to back up the entire disk. [13:10] scarface: Then you have no other choice than using ssh - and you have to wait. [13:10] sorry [13:10] bekks: So you're suggesting that if I open another port for a dedicated rsync daemon that it would be faster? [13:11] dichotoPangea, change the file extn .flv to .mpeg [13:11] thanks for the help [13:11] or avi , dichotoPangea [13:11] scarface: Yes. [13:12] BluesKaj: Thanks, that works.

[13:40] <[360]Developer> robotdevil: compiz is required by unity, I'm sure on ccsm you will need to give it a go and see if it has the options you looking for [13:40] vlc and the xubuntu default one [13:41] ok [13:41] <[360]Developer> robotdevil: not* [13:41] aLeSD: and this happens in both? Did you try different mp4 files? [13:41] yes 2 mp4 files and I have the same behaviour [13:41] same frames then video stops [13:42] aLeSD: if the mp4 files are not from the same origin, I don't know what could be causing it.

[13:50] yep but my friend dont have that issue, and he dont give %u [13:53] mucha090: He doesn't give his username? [13:53] lol [13:53] SonikkuAmerica: The parameter "%u" for firefox has nothing to do with an username. It refers to the URL provided. [13:54] nah [13:54] bekks: Ahh... the Firefox one. I use Chromium. XD [13:54] test [13:55] test [13:55] xixi: You're good.

[13:59] hi, what's currently the most usable itunes alternative in ubuntu? [13:59] (Except in a channel emergency) [13:59] <[360]Developer> martinux: http://askubuntu.com/questions/287833/screen-suspend-problem-on-ubuntu-13-04 [14:00] nabblet: Hmm... If you need access to your iTunes songs, etc., try using iCloud; otherwise, get gtkpod maybe [14:01] [360]Developer: I will try that soon :) Thanks for taking the time to search! [14:01] SonikkuAmerica: hm,dunno... i have to setup a laptop for my sister and i know she has an ipod and uses itunes. dunno if she uses icloud... what about rythombox, amarok and so on... don't they have ipod capabilities? [14:02] nabblet: They might, but gtkpod was built for iOS device sync in partic [14:02] SonikkuAmerica: but that gtkpod looks good [14:02] <[360]Developer> martinux: anytime just let me know if it works [14:03] [360]Developer: I will, just gotta win this chess match [14:03] SonikkuAmerica: i think i will put on gtksyn - she still has her old vista (*yuk*) laptop with itunes (*eeew*) on it in case gtkpod does not work [14:04] nabblet: (eew is right. :P) OK [14:04] nabblet: Without itunes, it isnt possible to sync the apps, nor to update IOS. [14:04] bekks: ipod has apps? [14:05] bekks: oh, srry, i should have set my question more specific [14:05] how can I make an (older) kernel version available for grub? I have it /lib/modules, as I installed from a deb package, but when I reboot, it's not available for select [14:05] bekks: SonikkuAmerica my sister has only an ipOd, NO ipAd [14:06] seronis, but when some one places a file in owncloud, the user and group becomes www-data:www-datya [14:07] sienez: did you try running "sudo update-grub" to see if it's automajically added? [14:07] nabblet: iTunes won't even run under Wine these days... === picca_ is now known as picca [14:08] SonikkuAmerica: to be honest - i have no intention to give her itunes on this laptop :P [14:09] SonikkuAmerica: also, i already had my small victory - she said she doesn't need skype anymore, and will jitsi instead :D (because it can do facebook :P ) [14:09] [360]Developer: Just FYI. I g2g but if you're still here when I get back I will tell you if it worked or not. Thanks again! [14:09] <[360]Developer> martinux: no stress thx man [14:10] zykotick9, thanks, I did now, but still missing my kernel [14:11] although the output from update grub mentioned it [14:11] nabblet does jitsi also provide cam function? [14:11] I'm on 12.04 btw [14:12] sienez: if you saw it mentioned in update-grub, it _should_ be there? do you have more then 1 gnu/linux installs on this box? [14:12] betrayd: yes! i jjust tested it [14:12] betrayd: that thing can do SIP and jingel too [14:12] nabblet thanks for the heads up [14:12] zykotick9, no. I have dualboot ubuntu and win7. When I ran update-grub all kernel versions were mentioned and even the win7 partition [14:12] sienez: older kernels are under a submenu in grub [14:12] betrayd: to be honest i was surprised how good it works - it has even share desktop [14:13] minixvm, yes, I noticed but it's not there either [14:13] maybe I missed something when I installed the kernel? [14:14] I downloaded a deb from ubuntuupdates page and simply ran it [14:14] sienez: only the kernels in the official repos are supported here, downloading debs is not recommended [14:16] minixvm, so how can I download a specific kernel version from the reps? In synaptic I could not find it [14:16] sienez: are you sure the version you want is in the repos? [14:17] sienez: the latest kernel is 3.8 in the repos [14:17] Yes because on another machine it was installed with automatic updates [14:17] I want 3.5.30, but I have 3.5.32 [14:17] hi all [14:18] ah sorry. 3.5.0.30 it is [14:18] sienez: the repos will only hold the latest of whatever package there is [14:18] anyone else having problems with Ubuntu 13.04 64bit aptitude full-upgrade? Is it Empathy finally being fixed? [14:19] minixvm, ok this means I have to rely on debs from other sources, no? [14:19] pr0ph3t: Release upgrading? [14:19] pr0ph3t: How did you try to run it? [14:19] pr0ph3t: No, `sudo aptitude full-upgrade` works for me. [14:20] There are too many unresolved dependencies. SonikkuAmerica just like that aptitude update and aptitude full-upgrade [14:21] pr0ph3t: Did you try [ do-release-upgrade ]? [14:21] pr0ph3t: Excuse me, [ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ]? [14:21] zykotick9, sorry I made a mistake. It was actually not mentioned in update-grub. I missed a number there [14:22] zykotick9, so after running the deb, how do I get the kernel from /lib/modules to /boot? [14:23] sienez: in /lib/modules, the modules for a kernel in /boot reside. [14:23] SonikkuAmerica, not since last upgrade. The unmet dependencies are with mutter-common and libmutter0a and libmutter0b [14:24] Rarrikins, it must be due to some extra ppas I have then, thanks [14:24] how can list only the regular files with ls [14:24] ? [14:24] please help [14:24] stlre: ls lists files and directories by default, and hides "hidden" files, by default. [14:24] Hi guys, I need some help [14:24] I am trying to flash my linksys router with dd wrt [14:24] and I have to use tftp, I've tried to install it but the commands related to it don't respond :/ [14:24] What can I do ? [14:24] nonxa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [14:24] bekks, How do I make a module, which is in /lib/modules but not in /boot available at startup? [14:25] <[360]Developer> stlre: by "ls *.cpp" if yu need more info "man ls" [14:25] stlre type man ls in a terminal so you can see all its options [14:25] sienez: You dont do such things. You install a kernel package (.deb) and it install the kernel to /bott and the modules to /lib/modules [14:25] ty guys!! [14:25] <[360]Developer> stlre: cool [14:26] bekks, ok. well.. mine didn't [14:26] sienez: Yes, and manually downloading a kernel package and having problems with it - is just not supported in here, as someone told you before. [14:27] bekks, yes I understand. What I really want is to be able to boot into an older version of the kernel. I don't care where I get it from. If it is possible through apt-get, I will prefer that way [14:28] sienez: Press shift in grub, and select an older kernel. [14:28] SonikkuAmerica, thanks [14:29] stlre: ls -lF|sed '/[/]$/d' [14:29] he's gone [14:29] bekks, the kernel I want to boot is not installed yet! also if I press shift, nothing happens. === alex_ is now known as AI-X [14:29] bekks, my current kernel is 3.5.0-32 but I want to boot 3.5.0-30 [14:29] thank you [14:30] sienez: sorry, i was wrong, they are still available in the repo [14:30] minixvm, cool! how to search for them? [14:31] sienez: i prefer to use synaptic, you can just use the search feature there and type kernel [14:32] sienez: you on 12.10? [14:32] synaptic GUI beats all [14:32] minixvm, 12.04 === quem_ is now known as quem === lonewolf is now known as Guest30578 [14:36] how do I get a SMART reading on a SSD in terminal [14:36] want to see wear level count [14:37] sienez: search in synaptic [14:37] <[360]Developer> Mech0z: have a look at "man hdparm" if this helps === sins-_h is now known as sins- [14:41] minixvm, thanks, I got it now! [14:43] !yay | sienez [14:43] sienez: Glad you made it! :-) [14:43] o/ says the drunk [14:43] :D [14:45] wtf is 360? xbox 360? really? [14:45] !wtf | clcto [14:45] clcto: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [14:46] oh sry i thought this was archlinux-offtopic sry bbl [14:47] wrong channel happens sometimes [14:52] I'm having issues minimizing windows in unity 13.04, It just freezes. Does anyone know what may be causing the issue? [14:53] Ponch0: i've had many similar issues with unity in 12 and 13 on many different systems, I ended up installing xfce and running that instead. all those problems went away. something is really screwy with unity [14:54] Fieldy: Ah, unfortunately I'm not using Unity by choice, I was on ubuntu-gnome but after last nights update something went broke. [14:56] Okay, so I have a most fun dilemma. My very short question is this: Ubuntu 13.10; I've got an integrated intel video card, and a seperate Radeon card. By default, it's booting using the intel one. Is there a kernel command line I can use to make it use radeon? [14:56] hey all, i'm on ubuntu 12.10 anf some update in the past few days broke flash partially, there are certain flash applications that refuse to run for me [14:57] and my other question: Is ctrl+alt+backspace (warning for the unaware: This is supposed to kill X, almost like a force-reboot of your computer) disabled by default, and how do I enable it if so? [14:58] ow: it's more of a soft reboot, and instructions on making it work again are here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/XorgCtrlAltBackspace [14:58] ow , you have to choose the default graphics card in the bios [14:58] BluesKaj: bios doesn't let me. [14:59] ow: what bios do you have? [14:59] i have an analog audio device and hdmi audio (which comes out my monitor, didnt even know it had speakers until now!). Default output is set to analog and everything uses it, except for java. It auto-changed itself to hdmi audio after using my pc on my pc. (fglrx drivers for hdmi) [14:59] ow , does the pci card show ? [15:00] er my pc on my tv heh [15:00] BIOS pretty much doesn't let me do anything except change the time and date, boot order, and enable/disable vt [15:00] one moment [15:00] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M/7400M Series] [15:01] the one it's using, however, is 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation 2nd Generation Core Processor Family Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09) [15:01] ow: those are your graphics card, what board.BIOS do you have? [15:01] cards* [15:01] suppose I know the name of a header file. how do I find out which package or library contains the file? [15:02] sienez: You can use package.ubuntu.com for searching for that file. [15:02] gartral: I dunno, how do I find out? (It's a HP Pavilion g7 laptop) === linuxthefish is now known as linuxthefish` [15:03] ow: ah, it's a laptop, now I have something to work with [15:03] it seems like there should be a simple blah=radeon or something like that [15:03] bekks, the site has no search function? [15:03] sienez: The site I just told you has a search function. [15:04] bekks, true, sorry! [15:05] ow: well that depends on what hardware handels the switch, if worse comes to absolute worse.. you could always look at a custom .rc [15:06] does swap or swap in file does have any diffrences? [15:06] hola [15:06] chvx: swap in a file is potentially slower, but you wont notice it. [15:07] chvx: be careful though, if set up incorrectly you could have a potential security hole, or.. a RAM-hole.. [15:08] afG12345 [15:08] bekks: ok, haha an ram-hole :] [15:09] chvx: I'm serious, it's caused when a swapfile can be written to and not read from.. has a nasty habbit of breaking things very quickly [15:09] chvx: Trust him, he isnt fooling you. [15:10] ow: have you gotten to the point where you can install the proprietary drivers? [15:10] the gnome3 ppa is messing things up [15:11] bekks: i have heard that double the space for swap if i wanna have hibernate. is it right? [15:11] bekks: I did that in a VM once just to see how badly it would break.. yea, OOMs everywhere [15:11] gartral: Expected :) [15:11] chvx: No. [15:11] chvx: You need 1x RAM as swap plus a few MB for overhead. [15:11] chvx: no, but a *little* overhead is always needed [15:12] chvx: The times you needed 2x are gone for about - 20 years now. [15:12] chvx: rule of thumb for every 1024MB (1GB) ram, add 10MB === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman === chris is now known as Guest98532 [15:13] hey folks. has anyone else been getting a frame file wanting to be saved every time they play a youtube video in chrome or firefox? [15:13] argh [15:13] still ubuntu partion an 6gb of swap [15:14] which is my RAM [15:14] cappicard maybe try a different browser [15:14] chvx: 6.1GB for swap will be fine then. [15:14] but this is happening in both linux and windows [15:14] gartral: I can install proprietary drivers, but if I install the proprietary radeon drivers (frglx or something like that), the window manager won't load - i.e. no bar on the side etc, but the desktop background does show and you can right-click on it [15:15] Hello. I would like to ask you a question. I am currently using windows 8 and because i hate them i would like to use Ubuntu 13.04. My question is: Will it keep my files such as images/videos/music or will it completely erase it. [15:15] empathy just does not work properly, my google accounts keep needing authorisation, yahoo accounts cannot be set up, when are they going to fix it? [15:15] cappicard even a different video? [15:15] on every video [15:16] My session managers are still unable to start XFCE4. End up with a blackscreen. === morph3k is now known as morph3k|away [15:16] ow: that's.. too be expected, actually, and the fix is, sadly, don't use Unity [15:16] <[360]Developer> christaras: do a complete backup of your files first [15:16] cappicard did you install a YT extension or downloader? [15:16] christaras: Depends on you install it. I'd backup everything before, if you want to ensure that you will not lose anything, no matter what happens. [15:16] Can someone read my GDM logs and tell me what happened? http://pastebin.com/8vGbXf6C [15:16] sharpie: Why dont you tell us what happened? :) [15:17] bekks: if i want to hibernate?+ [15:17] chvx: Yes. [15:17] I want to upgrade without making a backup. My data is about 50GB and i have no space or any usb storage to store them at. === morph3k|away is now known as morph3k [15:17] christaras: Ah, so you data isnt worth to be kept. Ok. [15:17] christaras: changing your OS isn't like an upgrade, even when you dual-boot there's *ALWAYS* a risk of complete data loss [15:17] or rather, when you set up for dual-bootng [15:18] New install. Update two days ago~~, now after I log in blackscreen with mouse pointer. [15:18] I am just asking if ubuntu can keep the files when installing because i've been told that it can in some senarios [15:18] . [15:18] <[360]Developer> christaras: no, install ubuntu in windows 8 and use the dual boot option [15:19] christaras: Yes, and in some it cant. You are at risk losing your data. So back it up. Or dont back it up if you dont mind losing it. [15:19] <[360]Developer> christaras: keep both OS [15:19] [360]Developer: There is no wubi anymore in 13.04 afaik. And its the worst solution. [15:19] unfortunately i cant as my hard drive has not enough space for running two os'es (around 100GB) === _DIoX|DaZ is now known as DIoX|DaZ [15:20] <[360]Developer> bekks: darn! , ok then install 12:04 and upgrade [15:20] christaras, just to put things into perspective: I have been using linux since 1998 and installed several versions of mandrake, slackware, gentoo, debian, ubuntu etc, and so far not even once I had a complete data loss. But it is still possible of course [15:20] [360]Developer: wubi is the worst solution possible. [15:20] christaras: there's no direct way, because of the way ubuntu, or any OS, Windows, OSX, or *NIX-like has to change the contents of the drive.. [15:21] <[360]Developer> bekks: his going to loose his file [15:21] 在 [15:21] [360]Developer: Yes, because he dont have a backup. Thats the point. [15:21] 新人报道 [15:22] !cn | douguoda [15:22] douguoda: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [15:22] Ok guys thank you. I will give it a try. I will just make sure that my sensitive data is safe. [15:22] christaras: Yeah, create a backup. Thats the only way to ensure it. [15:22] christaras: you could always back up to DVDs [15:23] <[360]Developer> christaras: bekks is right [15:24] hi [15:24] I'm wondering about the EFI Boot in Ubuntu [15:24] <[360]Developer> BoredomKills: hey [15:24] right now I have it running [15:24] /join #ubuntu-cn [15:24] I do agree keeping a backup is the best way to ensure the safety of data but 50Gbs of data is hard to store. Especially in dvds. I will need 11-12 [15:24] BoredomKills: it's fast [15:24] yeah.... [15:25] and I successfully installed in into a 3.0 USB Drive [15:25] /join #ubuntu-tw [15:25] christaras: then why haven't you already got a backup solution in place? [15:25] however I have one problem [15:25] Can someone read my GDM logs and tell me what happened? http://pastebin.com/8vGbXf6C [15:25] when Grub-EFI starts up [15:25] New install. Update two days ago~~, now after I log in blackscreen with mouse pointer. [15:25] christaras: Dual-layer dvds, or just an external harddisk. [15:25] I see a lot of options of Windows EFI that does not exist anymore [15:25] Is it possible to delete those? [15:25] Because it costs XD. Anyway i though of online backup but i am afraid of it... [15:26] christaras: Does it cost more than the effort of recreating your data? If not - buy it. :) [15:27] christaras: 50GB upload will take ages. And restoring it will take ages too. [15:27] christaras: you have a few options.. one, use a different computer to back everything up to. Two, buy an external HDD.. (a 320 gig is about $50-60 US) or thirdly.. DVDs [15:27] Well you are right. Probably i have to buy an external hard disk. [15:27] Does anyone know about removing options from grub-efi? [15:27] I tried running update-grub and see no changes... [15:28] chirstaras: Another option is backup over network to another pc [15:28] 如何看到中文 [15:28] i have no other pc [15:28] douguoda: I can see ur chinese === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers === darkowlzz is now known as darkowlzz|Zzzz [15:29] alright, I'm annoyed, I have one.. ONE stupid little flash game that I play, and it isn't working, I'm not having any other issues but Super Mechs (http://www.supermechs.com) refuses to load, and it isn't just the version on their site, it refuses to load from anywhere that it's on! [15:30] can someone else please try and load it so i can see if it's just me or if their game has gone full-idiot [15:31] I inserted a 4.7GB DVD [15:31] gartral: I get This page requires Flash Player V11.1 and above [15:31] but brasero says that it's only 2.2GB big :O ? [15:31] ermm... anyone have any experiences over efi? [15:32] christaras: or get two, then you'll have three sets of data. [15:32] DJones: ok, so it isn't just me.. === LastArms is now known as BoredomKills [15:32] HI all, I'm stuck on a static route issue on a 802.3ad lagg group. Can anyone help shed some light on what I'm doing wrong? http://pastebin.com/EZJtWwtY [15:32] For me the Flash game is working just fine. [15:33] actually, the lagg group probably has nothing to do with it, but might. [15:33] DJones: if you look in about://plugins run a recent Ubuntu, you'll notice that flash should be higher that that version... looks like Adobe broke flash for linux AGAIN [15:34] anyone have any exp on efi?? [15:38] anyone have any experiences with EFI? [15:38] HI all, I'm stuck with a static route issue on an LACP interface. Can anyone help me understand what I'm doing wrong? [15:38] details here http://pastebin.com/EZJtWwtY [15:39] [360]Developer: You here? [15:39] ? [15:39] <[360]Developer> martinux: yip [15:39] [360]Developer: The fix did not help [15:39] BoredomKills: you mean like the Firmware interfaces EFI? [15:40] grub-efi [15:40] when you boot Ubuntu through grub-efi [15:40] you see that screen that has the options of what to boot [15:40] ah, what's the issue [15:40] <[360]Developer> martinux: did the terminal popup? [15:40] [360]Developer: Nope [15:40] I'm having a lot of extra boot items that I want to delete [15:40] gartral: Mine shows 11.2r2-2 on 13.04 in Chromium [15:41] <[360]Developer> martinux: ok back to the drawing board [15:41] gartral: Have to go now [15:41] [360]Developer: btw the last time I tried to wake it from suspend I heard a sound, like the ubuntu login-sreen === linxon is now known as linxon|away [15:41] [360]Developer: Maybe indicating that the monitor is the issue? [15:41] <[360]Developer> martinux: maybe the x system [15:42] Not sure what that is :p Did you ever find where 13.04 stores the syslog.1 file? === Guest6280 is now known as bitnumus [15:42] BoredomKills: That's just a text file entry. Is this what you are looking for? http://askubuntu.com/questions/176322/removing-old-kernel-entries-in-grub [15:43] <[360]Developer> martinux: being on askubuntu without success [15:43] martinux: /var/log/ i assume [15:43] minixvm: It's not [15:44] <[360]Developer> guy's where is the syslog stored on 13.04?? [15:44] if syslog.1 is not in a standard place you can look for is using lsof to see the full path of the open file [15:44] I did tell you that the 'syslog' IS stored in /var/log , yes? [15:44] neorosbob: Not really, that's for the old grub system [15:44] martinux: thats where it is on 13.04 for me [15:45] neorosbob: Mine is that Other than Ubunut and the Advanced Options, I have like 6 other Windows EFI [15:45] minixvm: really? that's weird [15:45] that I can't boot [15:45] martinux: thats where its always been [15:45] 'lsof | grep syslog.1' returns nothing [15:45] how about for you minixvm ? [15:46] martinux: i opened the folder and looked, its there [15:46] Yeah I was just wondering if lsof showed it to you, I'm not familiar with the command [15:47] Why would I be missing a syslog, then.. [15:47] BoredomKills: I got you, this is on newer systems with UEFI hardware. That's a tough one. I'd be of no better use than googling around for you. [15:47] <[360]Developer> martinux: "ls /var/log" anything? [15:47] question: is there a way to see an entire directory tree? example: I want to see entire structure of /etc/ldap/slapd.d [15:47] martinux try without the .1 [15:47] There should be a standard way to remove those in grub2 for UEFI but I've never had to do it [15:48] neorosbob: nahz, thanx for responsing. I have tried to google as much as I could... [15:48] seems like efibootmgr was supposed to be able to do it [15:48] but it didn't though... [15:48] I [15:48] [360]Developer: Yeah. I have all the normal log files, including 'syslog' === Guest20427 is now known as smokie [15:48] but not syslog.1 [15:48] think it might have something to do with editing the actual .efi file... [15:48] martinux: lsof run on it's own will show all open files on the system including network sockets. 'lsof | grep syslog.1' should get you there [15:49] <[360]Developer> martinux: you say syslog is empty? [15:49] neorosbob: So when it returns nothing it means I don't have a file called syslog.1 ? [15:49] BoredomKills: I think you are right. It should be a text file with entry lines for each boot image just like old grub [15:49] [360]Developer: Nono [15:49] [360]Developer: syslog is full [15:50] <[360]Developer> martinux: cool ok then post on pastebin [15:50] martinux: correct, but keep in mind that a log file named with a .1,2,3 etc behind it is a log file that has been rotated out typically by logrotate [15:50] oh I thought there was something special about syslog.1 [15:50] neorosbob: I don't really think so... the efi is in hex.. === OxCA5A is now known as OxCA5A] [15:50] martinux .1,.2 are backups of syslog [15:50] oh man. sorry [360]Developer [15:50] BoredomKills: I think it's a text file with a hex entry in it. But I'm just speaking of vague far back in the bast memory [15:51] https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5690306 [15:51] arrgh [15:51] BoredomKills: poke around in the grub menu and see if you can find your way. I bet the grub command line will let you do it [15:51] [360]Developer: there you go, syslog from a restart after suspend [15:52] <[360]Developer> martinux: cool will run through it [15:53] neorosbob: The grub command line? [15:53] martinux: did you follow what I was saying about logrotate? For example I set logrotate to keep 4 previous versions so I will have a syslog.1 syslog.2 syslog.3 and syslog.4 but the only open file would be /var/log/syslog since that is the active file being logged to [15:54] neorosbob: What is the purpose of keeping 5 versions? I can see why you want 1 backup, but not 4? [15:54] BoredomKills: yes, just run grub with no args [15:55] I got grub is not installed [15:55] lolz? [15:55] martinux: if your server produces a lot of log data you may want to rotate them out to keep the files smaller. This allows you to keep more log data with smaller file sizes and also protects you from a log file filling your filesystem [15:56] how much swap does i need? my RAM is 6GB [15:56] chvx: just over 6GB if you want to hibernate [15:56] martinux: it will only prevent you filling your filesystem if you run logrotate often enough to stay on top of it. That's why a lot of high traffic servers will often use syslog to a logging server so you don't have to manage it on local disk [15:57] BoredomKills: apt-get install grub [15:57] or sudo apt-get install grub [15:57] neorosbob: I see :) [15:58] [360]Developer: Dinner is ready. I'll highlight you when I come back, /msg me if you leave before telling me something usefull :D [15:59] <[360]Developer> martinux: cool i will [15:59] wtf? [15:59] omfg [16:00] martinux, [360]Developer just told me something he will never tell you [16:00] HI all, I'm stuck with a static route issue on a bonded interface.

[16:04] [360]Developer, 41.13.96.224 [16:04] lol [16:04] easy peasy [16:05] quick question. Will I encounter any problems using cron to execute a python script at boot? this script contains an infinite loop (its a server of sorts) and I do not want it to terminate. Is this an efficient way of doing it? [16:05] no [16:05] no as in it wont be a problem? [16:05] your cpu usage will already be high [16:05] TsukasaUjiie: Its a pretty bad way. [16:06] and python loops consume a lot of cpu too [16:06] put time.sleep() in python loop [16:06] TsukasaUjiie: Create an init script, and run it in the background. [16:06] yeah it uses time.sleep [16:06] and it does not consume a lot of cpu? [16:06] on its own that is [16:06] no [16:06] then you should be good [16:06] awesome [16:06] :) [16:06] so cron will not terminate it at all? :) [16:06] TsukasaUjiie: I would create an init script as well [16:06] no [16:07] all cron does is execute a thing [16:07] has anybody tried Pantheon DE? on Ubuntu 13.04? If so, what has been your experience? [16:07] you could always screen detach it [16:07] sudo apt-get install screen [16:07] schnufflel: I would but that would require setting up the script to run as a daemon, which I am to tired to do currently [16:07] lrcaballero: not supported here [16:07] screen -mds python script.py should be your cron then [16:07] oh [16:07] cool [16:07] Ill give that a shot [16:07] sure [16:07] the format for the cron file would just be "@reboot screen -mds python script.py" yeah? [16:08] yeah [16:08] awesome [16:08] thanks [16:08] screen -help [16:08] would be your best friend [16:08] pm me if you need more help regarding it [16:08] TsukasaUjiie: daemon-tools helps you transofrming your script in a daemon [16:08] awesome thanks [16:08] Ill check that out in the morning :) [16:09] thanks guys! [16:09] RK: Please don't advertise your site in the ubuntu channels. [16:10] HI all, I'm stuck with a static route in /etc/network/interfaces. Can anyone see what I am missing here? http://pastebin.com/EZJtWwtY [16:10] minixvm: what is hibernate? [16:10] writes your active memory to disk and powers down the machine [16:11] chvx: a feature i never use [16:11] better you sleep @ chvx [16:11] so when you power on it's not a boot it just reloads the memory [16:11] sleep-hybrid to be exact [16:11] it has both sleep + hibernate [16:11] its awesome [16:11] agree, it is awesome, especially if you have an ssd [16:11] chvx, better use sleep [16:11] Snype: Whats sleep in terms of computerS? [16:12] its when everything in the computer powers down [16:12] sleep maintains power state on ram so it uses power where hybernate does not [16:12] apart from the ram [16:12] Snype: Thats called "hibernation". [16:12] so you are in this state of very low power usage [16:12] hibernation is when you dump the ram into your hard disk [16:12] and then you fully power down [16:13] Snype: VEry low power -> suspend, turned off -> hibernation. [16:13] dude thats what i said [16:13] everything except for ram powers down [16:13] so very low power usage [16:13] what are you smoking? [16:13] Snype: You said sleep, I said suspend. Dude, thats something different. :) [16:13] Snype: And dont let it get personal. [16:14] sleep = suspend [16:14] You do know sleep and suspend are the same when it comes to computers right? [16:14] neorosbob: isn't only one post-up allowed? So you would need to trigger ascript instead using two post-up [16:14] Snype: No, I didnt know that. Since thats not true. [16:14] schnufflel: thanks, trying it now... [16:14] How could you not know it and yet know its not true? [16:14] You definitely are smoking something :D [16:15] Snype: Whatever you might smoke - get back to ubuntu support please. [16:15] <[360]Developer> bekks: carefull Snype [16:15] <[360]Developer> knows it all [16:15] he does :D [16:15] haha if it whern't so sad it would have been funny [16:16] <[360]Developer> this is like playing tag [16:16] Can we please stick to ubuntu support and take the chit chat/ cross talk elsewhere. [16:16] where is the big question IdleOne [16:17] Snype: #ubuntu-offtopic is a start [16:17] thats still ubuntu [16:17] and what if they raise the same query? [16:18] Snype: I'm asking really nice like. Please stop with the off topic comments. [16:18] !guidelines > Snype [16:18] Snype, please see my private message [16:18] i just made #IdleOne [16:18] join me there [16:18] schnufflel: that doesn't seem to be the case. Trying with a single post-up doesn't add the route. I think it's my syntax [16:18] ... [16:18] btw snypee you ARE wrong btw, with sleep the system keep power to the ram so that the system state is there, with hybernate the system is fully powered off including the ram... so in contradicution to sleep, with hybernate the system-state is stored on harddisk has to be 'uploaded' to the ram again taking more time to be ready again but saving power (electricity) [16:19] ichat: I believe that is exactly what snype and myself both stated. [16:20] HEY VIRGINS [16:20] Hi all, I'm stuck with a static route in /etc/network/interfaces. Can anyone see what I am missing here? http://pastebin.com/EZJtWwtY [16:21] !guidelines [16:21] The guidelines for using the Ubuntu channels can be found here: http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [16:23] <[360]Developer> neorosbob: its the same thing, check your flags [16:23] neorosbob: you don't need those manual routes, the entires /24 is already routed via that dev [16:23] What's the program for system preferences? i.e. if I need to start it with DISPLAY=:0 commandhere [16:24] I am adding a static route to a host. I have storage on the same subnet and I want traffic to those hosts to use the lagg interface (faster) [16:24] so a /24 won't work [16:24] [360]Developer: hey ! [16:24] <[360]Developer> martinux: hey still working on it [16:25] neorosbob: the entire /24 goes via the binded interface. Adding specific routes for those hosts has no effect whatsoever. [16:25] [360]Developer/Seveas: does that make sense what I just explained? [16:25] [360]Developer: allright. I appreciate it man [16:25] not true, I can validate traffic does exactly what I want when I add the routes manually using route add. A test transfer shows traffic on the lagg interface using iftop [16:26] where the default route is on the interface br2 where I can validate traffic does not flow through that interface [16:27] ow: gnome-control-center [16:27] neorosbob: then the output you pastebin'ed is fake. It clearly show the /24 routed via bond0 [16:28] <[360]Developer> neorosbob: the last time i created a bonded setup i had to not only setup the bond0 with address and so on but also setup eth0 and eth1 aswell [16:28] Seveas: on the top route output yes but on the bottom you can see the additional host routes [16:29] [360]Developer, the bonded interface is working fine. It's the static route to the 2 hosts that doesn't work in my interfaces config but works when I add manually [16:29] neorosbob: both show the /24 being routed via bond0 - the routes for those hosts have no effect unless you've been faking that output. [16:30] <[360]Developer> neorosbob: then a quick patch would be a bash script on start up [16:30] 172.21.249.0 * 255.255.255.0 U 0 0 0 bond0 [16:30] <[360]Developer> brb [16:35] Saveas: fair enough, I will need to remove the route you mention for this to work, but the problem at hand still remains that my interfaces file syntax does not add the routes [16:35] so my logic on the routes are incomplete as you mention, but my problem is still un-addressed === Subo1978_ is now known as subo1978 [16:36] anyone here ? [16:36] !ask | weicheng [16:36] weicheng: 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 [16:36] weicheng: hundreds and hundreds of people [16:37] OK , got it , and my question is why my pidgin cannot login IRC ? [16:37] [360]Developer: I could do that. Thanks. However I suspect my syntax or context is wrong in my /etc/network/interfaces file. I typically use centos so I'm a newbie to ubuntu. So I think I am doing something wrong [16:38] I have to use Xchat to login irc now [16:39] all linux are same [16:39] you are newb on all linux [16:39] pidgin cannot connect irc anymore ? [16:39] or you are not newb [16:39] neorosbob, ^^^^ [16:39] yes , I'm newb [16:41] Snype: focus on the helpful part of this technical support channel. if you want to chat we have #ubuntu-offtopic [16:41] is there a way to have flash on ubuntu (arm)? [16:41] means to install flash ? [16:42] iceroot: On arm - I guess not. [16:42] iceroot: #ubuntu-arm should be able to help [16:42] weicheng: installing and using [16:42] IdleOne: thx [16:42] but I don't believe so [16:43] iceroot, have you tried gnash? [16:43] i think that is what it is called... [16:43] .. [16:44] Znoosey: unluckily not working with the videos i am trying [16:44] ah [16:44] then i'm out of ideas [16:45] as it seems flash is build for android on arm v7. [16:45] i think it depends on which SoC you are using [16:45] but with specific extensions my hardware is not offering [16:46] weicheng you have the irc plugin for pidgin, how did you isnatll it [16:46] Seveas: I believe this is what you were driving at http://pastebin.com/cM3yPjXY however the problem still remains my synatx/context is not correct in /etc/network/interfaces [16:47] can someone walk me through manually installing Flash player? === q_ is now known as Phryq [16:47] Phryq: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [16:48] neorosbob if it didn't complain about syntax in commandline, then its something else [16:49] quit blaming the guy if he was at the movies when it happened [16:50] neorosbob: your issue is that the del line is not working? [16:50] neorosbob: and its still the default? [16:50] betrayd: I'm assuming it's my context rather than syntax. Coming up blanks here. I've made this work hundreds of time on redhat/centos. Just not wrapping my head around what I'm missing here [16:51] iceroot: del line is working. The route was there before I ran it and gone after I ran it [16:51] neorosbob, none of the hardware or cabling has changed since? [16:52] neorosbob: well, if you keep faking output I'm not going to waste more time on you [16:52] since centos or fedora days that is [16:52] betrayd: no, I basically setup my lagg group this morning, got it working and started on this. I have a bonded interface in a switch with storage on bonded interfaces and a 3rd interface (bridge) which carries the default gateway to the same subnet [16:53] betrayd: so I can use 'route' at the command line and get all working great, just can't seem to make it persistant on reboot [16:54] IdleOne, I mean how to install it from the downloaded package on the site. [16:54] The software centre gives me an error; I've been trying to fix it all day and have given up [16:54] (software centre gives me an error message for a whole bunch of things) [16:54] Phryq: is it a deb package? [16:54] Seveas: why would I fake output? If you don't want to help that's fine, but don't accuse me if you don't understand the problem/solution [16:55] neorosbob: if anyone here can help you it is Seveas. [16:55] it's a tar.gz [16:56] Phryq: there should be a README file in that archive with instructions. [16:56] "install_flash_player_11_linux.x86_64.tar.gz" when I look inside I see some files having to do with KDE, though I'm running Ubnity [16:57] uh oh kde, was it the right repo? [16:57] Phryq: what files do you see that have to do with KDE? [16:57] wait, can Ubuntu use rpm? [16:57] Phryq: get rid of that tar.gz and simply install the adobe-flashplugin package from the repositories. [16:58] i guess that answered my question [16:58] Phryq: no [16:58] Phryq: there is a converter called alien [16:58] why do you need to use package from the adobe site? [16:58] it won't let me install from the repo [16:58] !rpm | Phryq [16:58] Phryq: 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) [16:58] hmm [16:58] Phryq: why won't it let you install from the repos? [16:58] that fact should really be s/apt/dpkg/ [16:58] also at one point on my system I did have rpm installed, somehow, but I removed it before it broke anything [16:58] Anyone in here familiar wth owncloud? [16:58] !APT [16:58] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [16:58] it's a clean install. In fact I did a new install of ubuntu *just* to make flashplayer work. I'm really frusterated [16:58] !rpm =~ s/apt/dpkg/ [16:59] Phryq: enable the 'partner' repo and install the adobe-flashplugin package. Done. [16:59] OH... it's still installed: samuel@samuel-ubuntu:~$ rpm --version RPM version 4.9.1.1 [16:59] is that bad [17:00] handuel: no, that's fine [17:00] Can someone help me out with OwnCloud? I have a question about upload size limits. [17:00] Phryq: why won't it let you install from the repos? [17:00] Seveas: Ok, Why is it there :D [17:00] ah alien depends on it [17:00] after enabling the partner repo, do I need to restart or update or anything? [17:00] I managed to boot a btrfs-converted ext4 root filesystem, I can give you info, if you wish [17:00] as does logmein-hamachi :D [17:01] (Xubuntu 12.10) [17:01] TheUsD_: did you ask the owncloud support already? [17:01] Phrq: no [17:01] Phryq: why won't it let you install from the repos? [17:01] Phryq: actually you may need to sudo apt-get update, but deffinetely no reboot [17:01] pastie.org/7993615 [17:02] Phryq: is it giving you an error when you try to install it? [17:02] yes, the error I pastied [17:02] KlL: No, I didnt look to see if there was an IRC channel :p [17:02] what's the recommended music player for ubuntu or linux? like one of the best? [17:02] I pressed delete key on a folder in my pendrive, and Ubuntu without message deleted it. But, pendrive size didn't change, so I think that data still there. How can I recover/show this folder again? [17:02] I can a similar error trying to install a whole bunch of things. [17:02] :-DHello , everyone [17:03] About 50% of the programs I try to install give me an error like this === MechanisM is now known as Guest10648 [17:03] Phryq: try sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get install -f [17:03] Phryq: and then try again [17:04] handuel. I did that earlier today but I'll try it again for good measure [17:04] Phryq: ok... odd [17:04] hello, where located keyboard layout files in ubuntu? [17:05] I got a message at the end saying there were a bunch of packages installed automatically and are no longer required. Should I remove them? [17:05] Phryq: are you ignoring me? [17:05] I've given you the solution multiple times already... [17:05] no [17:05] Phryq: you may as well. sudo apt-get autoremove [17:06] Seveas, I tried it it didn't work [17:06] please let me know where I can find where keyboard layout files? [17:06] you mean when you suggested enable partner repos, right? [17:06] Phryq: pastebin full command and output [17:07] plankton the size will change if they're gigabytes, otherwise the fielsystem will 'fill it up' no worries [17:08] hello, I was wondering if someone could help me out with increasing upload limit sizes. [17:08] I am using Ubuntu 12.04 server, as the host. Win7 machines as clients (if that matters) [17:09] Seveas, I was using the gui. What command do I use to install with terminal? [17:09] KlL: owncloud room is dead :( [17:09] TheUsD_: what server software do you use, and what's the limit? [17:09] adobe-flashplugin 11.2.202.285-0raring1? [17:09] Phryq: sudo apt-get install adobe-flashplugin [17:10] Seveas: I'm not sure abou the server software (had a friend set it up) but the limit is 512mb. I believe it is owncloud server software [17:11] TheUsD_: first hit on google for owncloud file size: http://owncloud.org/support/big-files/ [17:11] betrayd, right... so I can't recover this lost data? (in straight way) because I hit delete on folder without my wish. === Guest74525 is now known as Chex [17:12] Phryq: pastebin full command and output [17:12] err, mispaste, sorry [17:12] shit. It worked this time! [17:12] !language | Phryq [17:12] Phryq: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [17:12] Phryq: well, waddayaknow. Sometimes you just need to give it a smack on the head :) [17:12] Seriously. I've spend almost the entire day trying to make it work. I don't know why it worked now [17:13] oh, sorry [17:13] Phryq: because now you had #ubuntu backing you up. This room is magical :) [17:13] haha, actually I was in this room earlier too. [17:14] then it must be my awesomeness :) [17:14] as I wasn't in here before [17:14] Seveas must have given it an offer it couldn't refuse [17:14] Chromium still won't install though. It is having the same problem. I'll give the output in a second [17:15] http://pastie.org/7993645 [17:15] Phryq: apt-cache policy chromium-browser [17:15] and pastebin output [17:15] http://pastie.org/7993647 [17:16] seems decent. More debugging info needed [17:16] if I type in "sudo find / -name php.ini" is it supposed to cycle through all the files? I guess then it stops when it finds a matching file(s) [17:16] more /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | cat [17:16] and pastebin output [17:16] TheUsD_: that will visit your entire filesystem [17:17] TheUsD_: try /etc instead of / -- that's where config files generally arte [17:17] s/te$/e/ [17:17] Seveas: ok thanks. Does ctrl c stop the search? [17:17] yes [17:18] thanks [17:18] just got an update message from ubuntu and clicked the Yes, Upgrade Now button and nothing happend do i need to update manually [17:18] hello - I have installed remmina-plugin-xdmcp and enabled xdmcp with lightdm per the wiki, but it logs in to a black screen with cursor from my client [17:18] any ideas? [17:18] hello all [17:19] Seveas. Would you recomend installing from terminal using apt-get rather than using the software centre gui? [17:19] gui is faster [17:19] Phryq: I would recommend that you do that command I just gave and pastebin the output so I can see how messed up your repositories are :) [17:19] Phryq: technicly there is no difference, for debuging apt-get is nicer [17:19] Phryq: its easier for us when we have apt-get errors instead of descriptions that the software-center was producing an error [17:20] Phryq: as to installing: I prefer the command line, because I *live* in the terminal. When it comes to errors, there's no difference. What fails in the one, will fail in the other. [17:20] im relearning the terminal install [17:20] i like terminal speed for apt-get [17:21] I think I already pasted it, you mean this one? http://pastie.org/7993647 [17:21] no, the one ofter that [17:21] more /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | cat [17:22] http://pastie.org/7993666 [17:23] looks good [17:23] Seveas: cat file1 file2 foobar* :) [17:23] iceroot: nope. more foo bar baz | cat [17:23] Seveas: useles use of a pipe and more [17:23] more adds the filename to the output. Rather useful in this case [17:24] not useless at all. Try it :) [17:24] betrayd, nevermind, I got how thing works. Thanks. :) [17:24] Phryq: apt-cache policy libnss3-1d [17:25] http://pastie.org/7993672 === puff`` is now known as puff [17:26] hmm, so it's available. sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d -- and when that fails because of a dependency: apt-cache policy that_dependency_here [17:27] you want output for sudo apt-get install libnss3-1d ? [17:27] what's a good cd-rip like ExactAudioCopy for Linux? [17:27] and the apt-cache of that failing dependency [17:28] http://pastie.org/7993683 [17:28] oh, I see [17:28] pozori: anything that supports cdparanoia [17:28] phunyguy: like? [17:28] so I should type "apt-cache policy libnss3" ? [17:28] yeah [17:28] abcde is a cli app [17:28] command line [17:29] works well, pozori [17:29] Phryq: and we can go deeper. Try to install libnss3. And if that fails on a dependency, try to install it. Continue until you get a more useful error [17:29] if you want GUI, there is ruby ripper but I don't think it is included in the repos [17:29] http://pastie.org/7993690 [17:29] looks like it's already installed? [17:30] it is [17:30] Phryq: aha! [17:30] Phryq: you installed something from an unofficial repo and now it's screwed up [17:30] no, that would make sense, but this is a fresh install [17:30] the only thing I've installed is x-chat [17:30] it can't be. [17:31] because that's the conclusion I came to before, so I reinstalled the OS [17:31] so? noone knows where located kayboard layout files? [17:31] I didn't even have any other repos enabled until you suggested enabling cannonical partners [17:31] oh, and now I have Flash as well [17:32] Phryq: actually looks like your mirror is messed up [17:32] Phryq: because 2:3.14.3-0ubuntu1 is the current raring version [17:32] I'm in Kuwait, if that means anything [17:32] Phryq: I would try a different mirror [17:32] how do I do that? [17:32] maybe changing to the main canonical server, just so you can make sure you have updated packages [17:32] that would explain why I have so many different programs that won't install [17:33] Phryq: sudo sed -e 's/kw.archive/gb.archive/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list [17:33] hello [17:33] thanks [17:33] that'll make you use the english mirror [17:33] then do sudo apt-get update [17:33] no feedback for "sudo sed -e 's/kw.archive/gb.archive/' -i /etc/apt/sources.list", right? [17:33] but looking at that mirror, it doesn't seem too bad, so this may not help [17:33] Phryq: correct [17:33] I am trying to make a script to run a command to fix the flipped webcam issue I have, but I can't remember hot to make a script :/ [17:33] Phryq: no news is good news [17:34] Wow, I'm learning a lot. You guys rock [17:35] Phryq: now sudo apt-get upgrade === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [17:37] IdleOne, it's like you knew exactly when my update would finish to give me the new command ;) [17:37] Phryq: that's because he has access to your computer and is watching you [17:38] ;-) [17:39] phunyguy: okay abcde is cli but super easy, thanks! [17:39] Hi there [17:40] haha, you're joking, right Seveas? [17:40] anyway, upgrade is done. Should I try an install? [17:40] How do I copy a CD in Ubuntu? Its a VCD [17:40] Phryq: well, you run sudo commands we give you, likely without fully understanding what they do. Pretty much equivalent to having root :) [17:40] and yeah, try installing chromium-browser === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [17:41] Somehow my /boot is full.... http://pastebin.com/UqFG4bps -- can anyone let me know why? sudo apt-get update / upgrade keeps failing because it's running out of space. [17:43] mjuszczak: 'sudo apt-get autoremove' [17:43] CAN SOMEONE HELP ME WITH AMULE PLEASE? [17:43] wow, it seems to be working! [17:43] !caps [17:43] PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [17:43] mjuszczak: uninstall old kernels (keep the two newest) and delete some logs /etc/var/ [17:43] mjuszczak: it's full because you didn't remove old kernel packages. Try removing linux-image-3.8.0-22 avd linux-image-3.8.0-21 [17:43] Seveas: Do you have any OwnCloud experience? [17:43] thanks so much. You guys are my saviors! [17:43] (knock on wood because it's still installing) [17:43] Seveas: I followed those instructions, but its still only allowing 512mb of upload. [17:44] TheUsD_: you restarted Apache? [17:44] TheUsD_: no, I have never actually used OwnCloud. Did you restart apache after making the required changes? [17:44] Restarted whole machine [17:44] IdleOne: stop stealing my thunder! [17:44] another problem: I'm tryinbg to burn a window 8 image with brasero. [17:44] it took some time to burn it, but now he is building the ckecksum for half an hour. [17:44] but the title of the window says 100% completed. [17:44] so can i cancel it??? [17:44] Mori__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:44] I was actually about to give up on linux altogether. I love that I actually found out what the problem was and then fixed it. [17:44] PLEASE SOMEONE HELP ME [17:44] TheUsD_: the rest of those intructions stated you might need to edit php.ini iirc [17:45] downbeam: cut it out. Caps just get you banned and you're unlikely to get support for p2p crap in here. [17:45] TheUsD_: I don't have the site open but I did see something about editing another file in case it didn't work [17:46] thank you [17:46] sevas: Idleone: when I went into the php.ini and found the upload_max_filesize it said 2M and not 512M I increased the value to 107520M [17:46] i will investigate that [17:46] !caps | downbeam, HIT YOUR CAPS LOCK [17:46] downbeam, HIT YOUR CAPS LOCK: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. [17:47] TheUsD_: you edited that before or after the reboot? [17:47] I'm on ubuntu 13.04, and my laptop does not wake up properly from suspend. The screen remains black after waking up from suspend, and I can't do anything. Anyone have any possible solutions to this? [17:47] it worked [17:47] I'm tryinbg to burn a window 8 image with brasero. It took some time to burn it, but now he is building the ckecksum for half an hour, but the title of the window says 100% completed. So can i cancel it??? [17:47] Idleone: I edited, then rebooted. [17:47] TheUsD_: see if there is a #owncloud [17:47] Mori__: it is safe to cancel [17:47] thx [17:47] oh, you said it was dead. [17:48] Idleone: went back into php.ini and it shows the increased value. I did go in there but it was dead :( [17:48] How to copy cd in ubuntu? I have to copy a VCD!! [17:48] TheUsD_: that channel would be best place to get help, patience is a requirement when seeking unpaid support :) [17:48] idleone: haha I know, but it looks like a ghost chatroom [17:49] but seriously will someone help me? [17:50] downbeam: you could try asking a question maybe [17:50] what would I need if I want to work remotely (on a windows box) with an X-interface rather than an ssh terminal? [17:50] my eD2K in amule will not connect and i don't know why? [17:51] downbeam: you run ubuntu on your pc? [17:51] !info amule [17:51] amule (source: amule): client for the eD2k and Kad networks, like eMule. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.3.1-10 (raring), package size 1549 kB, installed size 4176 kB [17:51] Shariff: a vnc client on the windows box and a vnc server on the ubuntu box [17:52] Seveas: Thanks! [17:52] what to do if your livesystem finds your HDD but the installer not? I'm using 12.04 LTS [17:52] Shariff: teamviewer comes in handy for short remote desktop work [17:53] lotuspsychje: I will check that out immediately.. So I don't have to set up all kinds of SSH tunnels and stuff? [17:53] * Shariff is pretty (=extremely) new :) [17:53] ah, I love the feeling of a system that is not broken in any way. It's been almost a year since I've had one. [17:53] Shariff: no teamviewer is easy and can run on ubuntu aswell [17:53] Shariff: correct, teamviewer handles all that [17:53] Excellent! [17:54] nice [17:54] Thanks a lot! [17:54] Shariff: but remember ssh is the safest way [17:54] yes [17:54] and the command line is addicting [17:54] lotuspsychje: Aye.. this is just to get things going.. right now it's not working with me :) [17:54] So I'm going to reinstall with X, rather than without and see if I can make xbmc work :) === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [17:55] xbmc uses frame buffer AFAIK === ameyer_ is now known as junix659 [17:55] I have a spare hard drive in this ThinkPad, and I'd like to experiment with installing another distro. I want to ensure that my Ubuntu install remains untouched. Can I do this by simply adding an entry to GRUB for the other drive's install? [17:56] lotuspsychje, yes i have 13.04 [17:56] Seveas: how is it addicting? [17:56] downbeam: you got a router blocking maybe [17:56] Crosant: I don't know what that means :) I'm stuck on a message that xbmc is unable to open a display :) [17:57] So I'm thinking, that might be because I installed ubuntu server.. with no X running [17:57] SuperLag the new install's grub portion will be the new grub then [17:57] i dont think so but i am at the coffee shop lotuspsychje [17:57] hi friebro [17:57] betrayd: so it would take over? [17:57] downbeam: that would be your problem [17:57] downbeam: coffee shops are mostly secured for stuff to download [17:57] any sensible free wifi provider will block filesharing stuff [17:57] SuperLag yes [17:58] uperLag and have the most entries [17:58] betrayd: I'll have to check BIOS/EFI to see if I can tell it to boot from that drive first... [17:58] lotuspsychje, i dont think so but i am at the coffee shop the reason i think that is because when i'm at home my Kad will not connect becasue of a firewall so if it's not blocked at how why would it be blocked here [17:58] betrayd: or would letting the new install's GRUB take over be fine? [17:59] no idea? [17:59] SuperLag besure it knows how to deal with EFI [17:59] downbeam: trust me, it is blocked. [17:59] betrayd: I'm just not sure, with the new GRUB, how to add entries to it. The recent GRUB config files are *way* more verbose than anything I ever created with Gentoo. [17:59] thanks [18:00] Hi. I want to route two different audio players to two different sound cards so I can playout on one and preview on the other. Is JACK my only option? Is it fairly easy to setup? [18:00] they'd ahve to be with stuff like efi,etc that are recent. How long ago was gentoo [18:00] I'm on ubuntu 13.04, and my laptop does not wake up properly from suspend. The screen remains black after waking up from suspend, and I can't do anything. Anyone have any possible solutions to this? [18:00] betrayd: Ohhhh... 2007-2008 :) [18:00] PinkSwing: yes, jack would be the tool to use. And there are manuals for it on the great google, no idea how easy it is to set up, never used it. [18:01] PinkSwing: gstreamer can do that too. pavucontrol would be the tool to use. 'sudo apt-get install pavucontrol' [18:01] betrayd: then I switched to Mac, because I had better things to do with my time, than watch/wait for things to compile. Now I'm back to Linux again, because work is moving our apps from Solaris to Linux, and they won't let us bring our Macs to the office anymore. :( [18:02] hmm open source but closed mindset [18:02] minimec and Seveas: thanks [18:03] SuperLag: where's that? I'd love to work in a mac-free office :) [18:03] betrayd: no, not that at all, actually... it was because some jackass brought a laptop to work with illegal material on it, and ruined it for everyone [18:03] Seveas: >:| [18:03] should ahve skinned him alive [18:03] Seveas: there's nothing wrong with OS X. [18:04] Seveas: it's incredibly productive to use for work [18:04] SuperLag: let's agree to disagree and stop there so we don't go offtopic too much :) [18:04] Seveas: that said... I'm amazed at how much Ubuntu has improved in the last few years [18:05] Seveas: now, if only MS would make Exchange support *easy* on Linux, without requiring hacks upon hacks upon hacks... [18:05] SuperLag: or anyone else. I don't expect MS to do that :) [18:05] so I'm happy with *someone* doing that. [18:06] SuperLag: MS have no interest in making things easy for people on free operating systems to bypass their paid one [18:06] lets take this to offtopic guys [18:06] its interesting [18:06] PinkSwing: well, MS seems more and more interested in interoperability these days, to lure people using other oses to some of their products/services. [18:07] Good idea #ubuntu-offtopic is in need of good convo [18:07] seveas: I re-read that article but it only talks about more editing in IIS...isnt that for windows only? [18:07] TheUsD: yeah, IIS is windows [18:08] sevase: so then I'm stumped, :p [18:08] hi guys [18:08] I have mistakenly overwritten the previous data on HP LTO3 tape drive [18:08] is it possible to recover the earlier data [18:09] omkar_: from a backup yes [18:09] omkar_: maybe some professional data recovery can do that, for a pretty hefty fee. [18:09] omkar: just take the tape out and flip it over, all data will be there ;) [18:09] betrayd: Can't I add an entry to the *existing* GRUB config, that points to the new install on the separate hard drive? [18:09] minixvm: I'm guessing those *were* the backups :-) [18:09] flip it over means/ [18:09] omkar_: it means TheUsD is trying to be funny. Ignore him. [18:09] :D [18:10] its an official tape i m bit serious [18:10] :( [18:10] SuperLag i'd rather swallow a bag full of razors but yes you always can [18:10] betrayd: why? [18:11] but professionals can retireve the data ... [18:11] are there any linux commands via which i could recover the data [18:11] omkar_: professionals also keep backups [18:11] Installing the other distro will make its own grub. Maybe sync propsed entries from there into existing grub. DOn't let new distro overwrite anything. [18:11] How can I make rpm of current ubuntu kernel ? [18:11] !recover | omkar_ [18:11] omkar_: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [18:12] omkar_: go. to. a. professional. [18:12] Trixboxer: ubuntu doesn't use rpm [18:12] omkar_: If you have overwritten the data, it is lost. [18:12] omkar: what format was the tape/filesystem in? [18:12] i didn't get the phrase professions also keep backups [18:12] professionals [18:12] They cost a lot, but if the data it's worth it, don't mess about with it if you don't know what you're doing [18:12] minixvm: Yups ! I need to convert its deb to rpm [18:12] Trixboxer: Alien can do it [18:12] Trixboxer: Use "alien" then. [18:13] actually on 1st fileid itself i stopped the write operation [18:13] using ctrl+c [18:13] but first I need the deb of ubuntu kernel 3.2.0-45-virtual [18:13] omkar: what format was the tape/filesystem in? [18:14] !info testdisk | omkar_ [18:14] omkar_: testdisk (source: testdisk): Partition scanner and disk recovery tool. In component universe, is optional. Version 6.13-1ubuntu2 (raring), package size 516 kB, installed size 1201 kB [18:14] lotuspsychje: Thats pretty useless on a tape :) [18:14] hi all [18:14] bekks: cant you recover the tape with photorec? [18:14] omkar_: none of the people who answered you have any experience with tapes. Go to a professional data recovery company and do not mess about with the rape. [18:14] lotuspsychje: Nope. [18:15] ouch, bad typo [18:15] meant tape of course [18:15] still works [18:15] :) [18:15] ok [18:15] gparted sees my HDD but the 12.04 LTS installer don't want to see it [18:16] hello , how to change unity-greeter logo position ? [18:16] hs: by making your own greeter :-) [18:16] Trixboxer: You can apt-get -d install it [18:16] thats how it normally starts [18:16] seveas how to do such thing ? [18:16] theadmin: thanks [18:17] theadmin: do you think it can be properly converted to rpm and installed on centos ? [18:17] Hello umm where can I get help with windows? [18:17] Seveas: actually I have a lot of experience with data recovery. I do it quite frequently in my shop. But I have to get some info on his drive before I can offer some suggestions [18:17] RileyGuy1000: ##windows [18:17] RileyGuy1000: \\windows [18:17] oh ok thx :P [18:17] Trixboxer: I doubts it... You can "apt-get source" that kernel and then build an RPM from the source, that'd work better [18:17] Trixboxer: But CentOS uses fairly old software, I'm not sure there won't be problems with libc and such [18:18] ... [18:18] seveas how to do such thing , making my own greeter. ? [18:18] Hello , I use Ubuntu 13.04 and installed VMware-Workstation-9 on this (Module Patched) . now when run virtual machin receive this message : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5723732/ [18:18] How can fix this problem ? [18:19] TheUsD: ok, I'll take back my comment. Though when it comes to data recovery, using random commands from an irc channel is a horrible thing, all the 'good ideas' many people have will ruin your chances of recovering, so I always tell people to go to a pro. [18:19] mah454: VMWare is not a supported product, try using Virtualbox instead. Or contact their support about this. [18:20] theadmin: Ask in #vmware , Thank you :) [18:20] hi, how do i do nomodeset from a raring usb? it says press a key or press F6 but all i get is a broken language menu with blank options. is my image broken? [18:20] TheUsD: If you had experience, you would know that there is no filesystem on a tape. [18:21] how would one add music to an ipod touch 4G (jailbroken already) running ios 5.1.1 from ubuntu 12.04. I've encountered all sorts of problems which rendered this impossible. [18:21] hi all [18:21] Seveas: I'm dumb as a box of rocks when it comes to ubuntu, vbox, owncloud and etc...(because I've only been a 1 week user :p but when it comes to hardware repair/recovery I can work with that :) [18:21] !ipod | jackarg maybe something from here?

[21:18] output of pwd: /home/user/Downloads [21:18] no back up means new install? [21:18] Beltechs_: No backup means: no chance to get your data back.

[21:27] so I don't know what you're doing, but it's not helping [21:27] it is not about the output of strace [21:27] hello [21:27] don't forget http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ODQ4WiDsEBQ [21:27] it is the fact that the program is not working [21:27] help plesae [21:27] am not expecting ubuntuers to provide strace at the slightest problem, my bad [21:28] where else would/can I see mail for the cron job?

Here, look here to see if you can find this menu http://imgur.com/ep7TtNj [21:41] try mount -o remount,exec /tmp [21:41] k1l_: that means if I don't upgrade, I will not get latest versions?

That means I can't install the Wi-fi drivers? [21:56] people should mention such details earlier [21:56] Seveas: do you have any idea what the problem might be?

[23:03] boosali: No nVidia GeForce 520M and Intel HD 5000 via Optimus. And it worked yesterday! All I did was reinstall Ubuntu 13.04. [23:04] try installing Videocard drivers...

I see the cursor fine. [23:05] TaRaNTiNo: lol... [23:06] i had something like before [23:06] So what should I do? I need this laptop!

[23:09] ctrl + f1 [23:10] alt-ctrl-f1 from X, F1through f6 goes to differnt consoles [23:11] Ok, so I'm in. Now what? [23:11] f7 is normally the X display. (alt-ctrl-f7) if all ready on the console, i think you just need the ctrl, or alt+ the f key. not all 3. [23:11] i installed xmbc in kubuntu 13.04 ,,then restarted my pc,,now get xmbc by default,,no kde,,,how to get kde back [23:11] hay guys, i am having trouble upgrading my distro... i am running ubuntu 12.04, and i am trying to upgrade to 12.10 and the to 13.04...

And I do have ethernet. [23:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5724473/ [23:15] and the best to stay with is 12.04 , i got in problems me too with every other version [23:16] I dont really have any issues with 13.04 here.. but its odd if his 13.04 worked befor but not now. [23:16] TaRaNTiNo, I don't think we're on the same page. I upgraded months ago. It was working until earlier todaynwhen I reinstalled. [23:17] it could be there were some real recent updates that had a regression/caused the issue. [23:17] burn 13.04 in a cd, backup your home files, and make a clean install from cd not usb [23:18] No. I'm not reinstalling again. I'm fixing this son of a bitch. [23:18] haha [23:18] haha good spirit [23:18] cd or usb shouldent matter. if the iso file was correct./ === Dr_willis_ is now known as Dr_Willis [23:19] It was the official ISO, so yes.

[23:19] blue maybe this command should help will install-reinstall missing things sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop helped me a lot in the past [23:19] i missed what the actual issue was. ;) switched pcs so i dont have a channel history. [23:19] Hey, [23:20] you can get connected through ethernet ? [23:20] Is there a channel for Ubuntu Unity Next ? I'm trying to build this in 13.04.. but.. hit the wall. [23:20] Yes. And I have that packagebalready. [23:20] !nvidia [23:20] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [23:20] people is terminal faster than gui? [23:21] ripplebit: both have their uses [23:21] !nvidia [23:21] So now what do I do? [23:21] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop [23:22] Tarantino, I did, and it didn't help. [23:22] how can i become more proficient using terminal? it seems like its usefulness is quite limited, although that's because i dont understand it [23:22] !cli [23:22] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE).

(searched everywhere... does any1 have any idea?) [23:23] ripplebit it's faster than gui, because the gui does not need to be launched [23:23] TaRaNTiNo? [23:23] ripplebit and usually, cli provides more options than a gui [23:24] can someone confirm that we can do a conversion from Ubuntu 12.04 to mint 13 without dataloss with the steps mentioned in http://jeffshaffner.wordpress.com/2012/09/27/how-to-convert-ubuntu-12-04-to-linux-mint-13/ [23:24] ok, thanks all [23:24] Gibu: backup, then who cares? [23:25] Hi. I have a Dell Optiplex 755 desktop with an integrated Intel 82Q35 graphics running Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. The UI seems slow in general and application windows sometimes regularly freeze. Is there anything I can do to try and make the UI run faster? I'm not sure what I can do because it's much slower than Windows which I had previously installed. [23:25] Gibu, that would definatly NOT be recommended [23:25] Gibu: have backups; ask linux mint what will happen not ubuntu ;) [23:25] upgradeing from one ubuntu (or non ubuntu supported disrto) to the other.. can definatly fail badly [23:25] blue what the was the output of the command i gave you ? [23:25] okay, thanks all [23:26] TaRaNTiNo, how can I pastebin it without X?

I've used SSH for a long time and haven't ever seen this. [23:31] BroUnicorn: also if your IP addresses ever change on your LAN, based on what router type you have, SSH'ing is gonna be a pain. statically addressing a server on a network is the best way [23:31] connect to host 127.0.0.1 port 22:Connection refused [23:32] boosali: Are you trying to upgrade to the devel release ? (saucy) [23:32] systemd0wn: are you connecting over the internet or locally LAN based [23:32] BroUnicorn: not that address, the other one! typically 192.168.x.x [23:32] daftykins, local [23:32] my router can assign ip# based on mac. so i dont even have to setup a static ip. ;) it does it automatically [23:32] NikTh: well, i am trying to upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10... [23:32] daftykins: Oh okay. What do eth0 and lo stand for? [23:32] BroUnicorn: loopback and ethernet 0 [23:32] NikTh: i get the same result without the -d option [23:32] networking 101 -- the ip 127.0.0.1 is your localhost.. that IS always pointing to the machine you are on. ;) [23:32] BroUnicorn, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLqqdQZHzsU [23:32] NikTh: and I set my Promt=normal [23:32] What is ethernet 0? [23:33] lo = localhost. [23:33] there's no place like ::1 [23:33] eth0 == one of your network cards [23:33] lol no it's loopback :( [23:33] boosali: The command you gave is not right. It will try to upgrade to the devel release (-d) . [23:33] well it loops back to 127.0.0.1 [23:33] I got connection refused for the other ip as well..

However if I run a file manager with sudo ... I can't see the drive listed. [23:35] Do I need to be added to a group or something? [23:36] rantic, or mount it manually with the proper ntfs-3g command [23:36] and options [23:36] running file manager as root is a bad habbit also. ;) and running nautilus with 'sudo' not 'gksudo' is a very bad habbit. [23:36] !ntfs [23:36] To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [23:36] !fuse [23:36] FUSE (Filesystem in Userspace) is a !kernel driver that allows non-root users to create their own filesystems. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Filesystem_in_Userspace for more on FUSE. Some examples of filesystems that use FUSE are !ntfs-3g, sshfs and isofs.

[23:37] Aside from mounting it manually ... what would normally be done? [23:38] sssstavr: on what, a windows PC? slightly outside of the scope of an ubuntu channel surprisingly enough [23:38] the ntfs-config tool can double check the settings and should allow users to mount the ntfs stuff. [23:39] if its an internal hard drive. you may as well set it to mount at boot time. not on 'first access' [23:39] daftykins: Okay it's installing stuff [23:39] Dr_Willis: Yeah it is an internal drive [23:39] windows pc? [23:39] boosali: cat /etc/update-manager/meta-release [23:39] id make a fstab entry for it. and be done with it. ;) [23:39] BroUnicorn: now you'll be able to connect in with the eth0 IP [23:40] Dr_Willis: That's in the next chapter of my linux book :D [23:40] Dr_Willis: Thanks [23:40] NikTh: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5724525/ [23:40] daftykins: Sweet! [23:40] daftykins: Next I'll wanna make it connectable from anywhere. [23:40] daftykins: :O [23:41] BroUnicorn: know how to port forward on your router? [23:41] daftykins: I've done it before but not on this router [23:41] BroUnicorn: you're gonna want to set the server to have a static IP though, else it could change and break everything [23:41] Hello all [23:42] savio: o hai [23:42] daftykins: Okay first though, how do I change the port of the server for security? [23:42] daftykins: port of ssh* [23:42] boosali: Let me try it from my 12.04. [23:43] thats not going to do a lot for security BroUnicorn [23:43] Dr_Willis: Oh, okay haha [23:43] you can have the router forward from port 3333 for example to the internal port 22 if you wanted [23:43] Dr_Willis: yes it is. [23:43] and for example make it forward 3334 to a differnt ssh server in the lan [23:43] BroUnicorn: sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_config [23:43] can I install MacOS on an UBUNTU running machine without a processors that supports virtualization? [23:43] NikTh: there is also the file located here: /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release but its unreadable... [23:43] daftykins: Okay, what is nano? [23:43] but if someone is scanning your whole range of ports - its going to be seen [23:44] Anyone? Graphics and wi-fi driver issues? Help? I don't know what I'm doing! [23:44] BroUnicorn: change the number, ctrl+x to save, then "sudo service ssh restart" [23:44] BroUnicorn: a text editor [23:44] Ssh is very tricky protocol first understand it then go for installation [23:44] BroUnicorn, more secure setup would to be enable key based authencation, and not use password authencation [23:44] theres dozens of guides out there for locking down ssh. [23:44] daffy, can I use vi instead? [23:44] BroUnicorn: if you know it, sure [23:45] BlueProtoman1: you might want to try being a tad more specific about the problem [23:45] daftykins: what can I change it to? What are the options? [23:46] BroUnicorn, you might want to leave things at the defaults untill you learn a bit more about ssh and how it works [23:46] BroUnicorn: anywhere from 1025 to 65535 [23:46] boosali: Is not unreadable to me.. there are info about releases.. etc [23:46] !ssh [23:46] 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) [23:46] daftykins: I can't log in to Ubuntu 13.04 via X. When I try, the screen just goes black except for the cursor. I can log in on the terminal, but that's it. [23:46] BlueProtoman, does the Login screen work? [23:46] NikTh: how do you read it? [23:46] BlueProtoman1: does your system have a proper 3D graphics card? [23:47] Dr_Willis, yes, but that's it. And daftykins, yes. It was working fine until I reinstalled Ubuntu 13.04 a few hours ago. [23:47] boosali: cat /var/lib/update-manager/meta-release-lts [23:47] NikTh: i think this is the problem, its a self generated file... if i delete it - and try do-release-upgrade again - it will generate it... but its still unreadable... [23:47] boosali: There is no meta-release file in my LTS.. only meta-release-lts [23:47] BlueProtoman1: did you replace the existing install? if so why did you install a second time? [23:48] change u'r promt=normal thingi [23:48] best. english. ever. [23:48] the meta-release-lts is also unreadable here... [23:48] daftykins: Had some issues with software. Never mind that. [23:49] boosali: you have right about meta-release and promt=normal [23:49] NikTh: i know :) [23:49] daftykins: It was not a clean install, ie the installer didn't wipe my home folder or anything. [23:50] NikTh: can you send me the content of your meta-release file now? [23:50] NikTh: I"ll try to paste it in mine... [23:50] NikTh: though i would like to understand why my files are messed up... [23:51] BlueProtoman1: ah ok. can you get at TTYs? ctrl+alt+F1 through F6 give you command line login screens [23:51] boosali: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=GhfnNPYd [23:51] boosali: I would like to understand too.. :P [23:51] NikTh: this is from 12.04? [23:51] daftykins: Yes, I'm logged in on terminal right now. [23:51] gits === xubuntu is now known as Guest66453 [23:52] Need help choosing an Ubuntu flavor, upgrading to 13.04 [23:52] BlueProtoman1: what's your graphics card? [23:52] boosali: I think no matter.. only matter is if the release is an LTS of not.. in 12.04 there are listed only LTS releases and not normal releases.. that's the only difference [23:53] daftykins: nVidia GeForce 520M and a Intel HD 5000, mixed with Optimus. [23:53] Should I with Lubuntu on a netbook? [23:53] i think it compares the current release with a new file it downloads... [23:53] BlueProtoman1: ah ok - can you pastebin a log file? /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:53] daftykins: Okay! Sorry it took so long for me to respond [23:54] Hexagonite, ubuntu works on my netbook. lubuntu is the lightest full featured ubuntu desktop. [23:54] hey guys im running low on money and i havnt paid my internet bill in a while there gonna shut it off soon, could somebody help me with this tool called aircrack so i can find my neighbours passwords? [23:54] boosali: Remove your corrupted meta-release files and create new one . Paste there the contents from pastebin and try again [23:54] Hexagonite, its trivial to install ubuntu on the netbook, then install lubuntu-desktop package to have both ;) [23:54] What netbook? [23:54] BroUnicorn: np, working on the different port? [23:54] NikTh: exacly what i am trying to do [23:54] some clearance sale netbook i got at xmas time. i dont even recall if its an Asus or eee [23:54] daftykins: Yes I am [23:54] I've tried the core 13.04, it freezes a lot though. [23:54] daftykins: paste.ubuntu.com/5724551 [23:54] i compiled and installed the aircrack 1.1 version [23:55] Hexagonite, install the lubuntu-desktop package and try out lubuntu then. [23:55] but im not sure how to get the wifi passwords [23:55] Hexagonite, or go real minimal and try just a window manager+ whatver tools you want [23:55] Tried doing that, felt claustrophobic [23:56] NikTh: strange, now i keep getting other errors: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5724555/ and http://paste.ubuntu.com/5724558/ [23:56] NikTh: i actually think the "time out" might be my problem... [23:56] daftykins: I wq and it changed. :D [23:57] daftykins: except I'm not sure where I would ever see the open ports or try to connect specifically through the port [23:57] daftykins: Ah, gotta go. === BlueProtoman1 is now known as BP-Away [23:57] BlueProtoman1: ok [23:57] NikTh: is there some special proxy or dns config for release upgrade? [23:57] BroUnicorn: sorry i don't understand what you mean? [23:57] BroUnicorn: you want to know how to connect now the port has changed? "ssh user@IP -p ##" where ## = new port number [23:58] boosali: no. Are you under a proxy server ? If you copy-paste the URI to a browser your will see the correct info .. [23:58] boosali: http://changelogs.ubuntu.com/meta-release [23:58] NikTh: i am not behind proxy... [23:59] NikTh: and it works [23:59] boosali: sudo apt-get update [23:59] hey guys, i have such a weird problem with ubuntu that made me buy a new router. For some reason when ubuntu is logged on to my wireless it jams the wireless of my phone, i have 3 acces points at home 2x 2,4ghz channels 1x 5,0ghz channel. When i turn ubuntu off and switch to windows, all works fine, when i reboot to ubuntu.... my phone (connected to either of the 3 ssids) cannot browse the internet. i almost find this embarassing because i [23:59] have the idea that this only happens to me [23:59] NikTh: wget doenst work on this!!! [23:59] daftykins: sweet [23:59] daftykins: Now I'm gonna make it Key Authentication
