| Hexagonite | I don't know why I get faster performance without a graphics driver... | 00:00 |
| boosali | NikTh: seems like we are on the right path :) | 00:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Hexagonite, huh? that made no sence. | 00:00 |
| Hexagonite | deactivated my graphics driver from 'Additional drivers', elementaryOS ran faster | 00:01 |
| BroUnicorn | daftykins: Okay! How do I do that? | 00:01 |
| zilla | hello im trying to make a persistant live usb 12.04 pendrive and when i select no space for live boot it works however when i select any amount of space it loads for hours when selectinfg try iit | 00:01 |
| BroUnicorn | daftykins: If you don't mind haha | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Hexagonite, and what video card are you using? | 00:01 |
| cheffed | anybody care to help me? | 00:01 |
| Hexagonite | AMD Radeon HD 6290 | 00:01 |
| Dr_Willis | Hexagonite, theres the open sourced drivers and then theres the proiparity drivers from amd. You are not using 'no' drivers. you are using the open sourced drivers | 00:02 |
| Hexagonite | wait, what? | 00:02 |
| Guest20003 | i have intel integrated graphics and i also get better performance running without my drive installed, the open source ones work better.. | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | You use either the OPEN SOURCED drivers., or the drivers from AMD/ATI | 00:02 |
| Dr_Willis | open sourced come by default. | 00:02 |
| cheffed | nobody? :( | 00:03 |
| zilla | Any advice | 00:03 |
| boosali | NikTh: can i use the IP of changelogs.ubuntu.com? | 00:03 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: edit /etc/network/interfaces, pastebin it and i'll explain how | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | cheffed, try differnt wireless channels perhaps. or ask in #hardware such issues are very rare. | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | cheffed, also check askubuntu.com and test with some live cd's to see if any other disrtos work properly | 00:04 |
| Dr_Willis | could be a bug with th wireless drivers | 00:04 |
| NikTh | boosali: Try these commands http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=ZftPf3QZ Post back Full results .. (terminal output must set to unlimited scrolling) | 00:04 |
| tones | what's the gui way to download the newest version of Unetbootin in ubuntu? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | tones, get it from the unetbootin homepage in your browser perhaps? | 00:05 |
| Dr_Willis | if it has a PPA , add the unetbootin ppa and use the normal package manager tools would be a good way also. | 00:06 |
| boosali | NikTh: how do i set the terminal to unlimited scroll? | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | tones, the pendrivelinux web site has alternatives to unetbootin also. | 00:06 |
| ripplebit | guys how do i end a pipe? | 00:06 |
| boosali | NikTh: i get the same error from the wget u gave me: Error parsing proxy URL http://localhost:4001 : Bad port number. | 00:06 |
| tones | Dr_WIllis, I tried that but it won't open when downloaded | 00:06 |
| boosali | NikTh: wtf? | 00:06 |
| tones | what program to use to open it? | 00:06 |
| Dr_Willis | tones, depends on excatly what you downloaded | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | tones, if its a executable binary. you make it executable then run it | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | if its anb archive. you extract it | 00:07 |
| tones | that's why I was looking for the gui way, I downloaded off the unetbootin site and sourcefore | 00:07 |
| tones | ge | 00:07 |
| NikTh | boosali: do you use any program such as anon-proxy ? | 00:07 |
| Dr_Willis | tones, make it an executable file.. IF its an executable binary.. | 00:08 |
| boosali | NikTh: not that i know of... | 00:08 |
| ripplebit | anyone know how to end a pipe in terminal? | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | ripplebit, clarify what you mean | 00:08 |
| NikTh | boosali: Did you set any proxy variables ? | 00:08 |
| Dr_Willis | command | pastebinit | 00:08 |
| boosali | NikTh: no, but where should i check? | 00:08 |
| NikTh | boosali: cat .bashrc | 00:09 |
| BroUnicorn | wait what do I need to do with paste bin? | 00:09 |
| ripplebit | as in: "$ cat > foo.txt" which then goes to newline | 00:09 |
| ripplebit | for input | 00:09 |
| ripplebit | wondering how to end that | 00:09 |
| BroUnicorn | daftykins: What about paste bin? | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | ripplebit, no prompt? you can use ctrl-c or ctrl-d if you made a typo | 00:09 |
| Dr_Willis | thats putting sdtin into that file looks like to me. | 00:09 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: pastebin it so i can edit it for ye | 00:10 |

| cheffed | ? | 00:11 |
| infexion | I have looked this up on a bunch of different sites and I still cannot figure out how to get this to work | 00:11 |
| ripplebit | oh yeah im kind of new to the shell | 00:11 |
| infexion | on 12.04 how do you change the theme/wallpaper of the login screen? | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | cheffed, i dont know what drivers you are using. if the addational-drivers tools suggests alternatives, then try the alternatives | 00:11 |
| ripplebit | so ctrl-c then? | 00:11 |
| NikTh | boosali: Weird things.. try this.. open the .bashrc file and at the end add two lines | 00:11 |
| ripplebit | is ctrl-c the proper way of ending a piping input? | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | ripplebit, since ctrl-z puts the job in the background. ;) you dont want ctrl-z | 00:11 |
| Dr_Willis | thats not really a piping input.. its 'command output redirection' ripplebit | 00:12 |
| NikTh | boosali: export HTTP_PROXY= | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ctr;-c kills the process.. ctrl-\ or ctrl-d sends an end of file i belive | 00:12 |
| cheffed | says, this drivers is activated and already in use....shall i try removing it? will it pick up the default ubuntu wifi driver again? | 00:12 |
| deltanine | infexion, i am running elementary os (12.04) and i can access the login wallpaper from dconf-editor | 00:12 |
| NikTh | boosali: export http_proxy= | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ripplebit, ive NEVER used that syntax you are using in the decades of linux ussage. ive used it. ;) | 00:12 |
| boosali | NikTh: without value? | 00:12 |
| NikTh | boosali: Close the terminal an open it again.. try do-release-upgrade -cd | 00:12 |
| Dr_Willis | ripplebit, you are just making some text file and dont want to use a text editor? | 00:12 |
| NikTh | boosali: yes , without value | 00:13 |
| ripplebit | does no one use that? | 00:13 |
| ripplebit | what way should i do it? | 00:13 |
| Dr_Willis | ripplebit, what are you TRYING to do exactly? | 00:13 |
| ripplebit | im trying to create a new file with input at the same time | 00:13 |

| Dr_Willis | is about alli ever use.. | 00:13 |
| ripplebit | ah brilliant, thanks for that xP | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont see why you would do things your way. | 00:14 |
| BroUnicorn | daftykins: http://pastebin.com/1DSkJNF9 | 00:14 |
| Dr_Willis | look up bash output redirection in the various bash guides for other ways | 00:14 |
| ripplebit | will do | 00:15 |
| BroUnicorn | daftykins: Wait, for safety I should figure out static ip on my own probably >.< shouldn't I? Or does it matter haha | 00:15 |

| NikTh | boosali: Also you can try set | grep -i prox and post back the results... and apt-cache policy anon-proxy | 00:18 |
| boosali | NikTh: I removed all the files there, now it says i have upgrade available!!! | 00:18 |
| NikTh | Ok boosali.. now do.. sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade first.. then do-release-upgrade -cd | 00:19 |

| NikTh | boosali: Ok.. have a nice upgrade procedure.. :-) | 00:23 |
| NikTh | boosali: This program is not installed by default.. and Yes it is safe to remove it.. I don't know how been installed.. but is not installed by default. | 00:23 |

| BroUnicorn | daftykins: If you don't mind me asking, line by line | 00:24 |
| boosali | NikTh: thank you man!! i have been hitting my head against the wall with this thing!!! | 00:24 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: sec | 00:24 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: do you understand IP addressing and DHCP? | 00:24 |
| NikTh | boosali: now the wall broke :P | 00:25 |
| BroUnicorn | I somewhat understand IP addressing, and I do not understand DHCP | 00:25 |
| boosali | NikTh: more like you opened the door next to me... :) lol... | 00:25 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: DHCP is that your computers and devices get an IP address and network settings automatically from your router when you connect to the network | 00:26 |
| === Multiply is now known as multiply | ||
| NikTh | Now I have to go.. to another channel because I have my own problems with unity-next project :) Glad to help boosali. | 00:26 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: problem is, if there's a power cut or you turn your router off and on, your server's IP address might change. if you have the SSH port forwarded to a static IP of say, 192.168.0.100, that computer might not be at that address anymore the next day, so the port won't be forwarded and wont' work | 00:26 |
| boosali | NikTh: GOOD LUCK man!! | 00:27 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: so those edits to the file configure the network interface eth0 to have a static IP (e.g. you'd put 'address 192.168.0.100' to make it always .100) | 00:27 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: sound ok? | 00:27 |
| NikTh | boosali: :-) | 00:27 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: you need to have entered numbers that work for your network | 00:27 |
| BroUnicorn | daftykins: Right | 00:28 |
| regorianer | is there a possibility to disable the default respawn limit of upstart? let me explain why i need this ... the default is 10times within 5seconds, but if for any reason two programs crash at the same time (one has the connection to a bus and the other one is connecting as a client) and the respawn of the bus connector takes too long, the client will never open again because 10times tried to start and upstart is doing this really fast | 00:28 |
| === TheLordOfTime is now known as LordOfTime|EC2 | ||
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: it's also best to change the DHCP configuration on your router, so for example if it was set to give IPs out in the 'pool' of 192.168.0.2 - 192.168.0.254, you'd want to change that to 192.168.0.2 - 50, with the server being something greater than .50 so that they don't overlap | 00:30 |
| BroUnicorn | Okay sweet so I have to do some router stuff | 00:36 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: yep | 00:37 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: after you edit that interfaces file, restarting would be easiest to 'apply' it. i've gotta get to sleep now, so ttfn! | 00:37 |
| === goddard is now known as Guest23977 | ||
| BroUnicorn | Okay, so how do I get to the interfaces file one last time? | 00:38 |
| BroUnicorn | And thanks for all the help | 00:38 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: it's in /etc/network/interfaces | 00:39 |
| daftykins | BroUnicorn: no problem :) enjoy it! | 00:39 |
| Hexagonite | The Verge wrote about Ubuntu! | 00:41 |
| BroUnicorn | How do I get my router ip? | 00:42 |
| jrib | BroUnicorn: the ip for your router on your local ip or the external ip that your isp provides? | 00:44 |
| BroUnicorn | jrib: I found it, so never mind on that one, but how do I restart an ubuntu server from CLI? | 00:44 |
| jrib | BroUnicorn: sudo reboot | 00:44 |
| BroUnicorn | jrib: sweet | 00:46 |
| BroUnicorn | I just changed my interface file to have a static ip address | 00:47 |
| BroUnicorn | can I now access the server from anywhere outside of the local network? | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | try it and see | 00:48 |
| jrib | BroUnicorn: whether you have a static ip or not wouldn't affect your ability to reach it | 00:48 |
| BroUnicorn | jrib: Oh, okay | 00:48 |
| BroUnicorn | jrib: Then what is the purpose of a static ip? | 00:48 |
| Dr_Willis | the port forwarding rules will break if it changes ip | 00:49 |
| Dr_Willis | plus it makes it easier to find the server on the internal lan . | 00:49 |
| jrib | BroUnicorn: the purpose is so it doesn't change | 00:49 |
| BroUnicorn | Oh, okay | 00:49 |
| BroUnicorn | sweet | 00:49 |
| BroUnicorn | jrib: So how do I make it accessible from outside of the local network? | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | BroUnicorn, thats what the port forwarding on the router was for. | 00:50 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh into the ip of your router.. it forwards to the pc | 00:50 |
| BroUnicorn | Ah, okay | 00:51 |
| BroUnicorn | so how do I port forward? | 00:51 |
| BroUnicorn | I didn't see that part of the conversation | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | you wull have to look at your routers settings and docs | 00:51 |
| Dr_Willis | I twas definatly mentioned earlier. | 00:51 |

| Shariff | I have 2 network interfaces: lo and eth0 .. lo is defined in /etc/network/interfaces, but eth0 is not. If it is not defined there (to have a dynamic or static address) where would it be defined? | 00:54 |
| BroUnicorn | Dr_Willis: Okay so I found the page. what do I put as the inbound port? | 00:55 |
| BroUnicorn | and the type?.. and private IP address and Private port hahaha | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | BroUnicorn, you were the one that decided to change ports earlier to the non-default ssh ones.. so i dont know what ports you used. | 00:56 |
| BroUnicorn | I know what port I used- which do I put that number into? | 00:56 |
| jpmh | according to nm-tool my dns servers are 260.67.222.222, 206.67.220.220 and 10.1.10.1 yet when I do a dig it tells me that the server is 127.0.0.1 - this is an issue since the 206 set are opendns and I need to use them | 00:56 |
| BroUnicorn | :D | 00:56 |
| BroUnicorn | Do I put that number for both the inbound and the private port? | 00:56 |
| Dr_Willis | BroUnicorn, err.. both | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | UNLess you want to forward port 3333 to 22 line i mentioned earlier.. | 00:57 |
| BroUnicorn | Oh right | 00:57 |
| BroUnicorn | interesting | 00:57 |
| BroUnicorn | I'm starting to understand it haha | 00:57 |
| BroUnicorn | for private IP address do I route it to the IP address of the server? | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | yes | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | what other ip do you think you could use? ;) | 00:58 |
| Dr_Willis | thats why we went through the whole 'static' ip stuff | 00:58 |
| BroUnicorn | hmm, didn't work | 01:00 |
| BroUnicorn | am I supposed to ssh into the router's ip address with no username? | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | the router redirects any connections on tha tport - to the PC. | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | so you ssh to the box same as you would on the local network. but using the routers ip | 01:00 |
| Dr_Willis | ssh bubba@yourip | 01:01 |
| Dr_Willis | AND since YOU decided to chagne the port.. YOU MUST tell it what PORT to use.. | 01:01 |

| Dr_Willis | thats your INTERNAL ip. | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | NOT your external ip. | 01:02 |
| BroUnicorn | Okay, how do I find the external? | 01:02 |
| Dr_Willis | go to a web site that shows it.. or look in your rotuer settings | 01:03 |
| dominic_ | how can i install 13.04 on my 12.04 without losing anything | 01:03 |
| dominic_ | using a dvd | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | dominic_, do a upgrade.. or backup everything imporntant. | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | and try the upgrade feature of the dvd/installer. I think it had one. | 01:03 |
| dominic_ | i use the backup of ubuntu | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | I backup stuff to external usb and cloud - that i find critical. | 01:04 |

| Shariff | Dr_Willis: my router sucks in that specifically.. so how do I access network manager if all I have is xbmc as x-client | 01:14 |
| Shariff | :) | 01:14 |
| Dr_Willis | run it from a differnt desktop perhaps? or use the nm-* cli tools | 01:14 |
| tones | Dr_WIllis are you a network administrator? | 01:14 |
| Shariff | Dr_Willis: Thanks a lot! | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | nope - i just mess with a home lan | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | down to very few pcs on the lan these days | 01:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Ihave been playing with xbmc/raspberrypi/plex and my android upnp clients lately | 01:15 |
| jpmh | ruckus_: I use xubuntu since the lack of reliability of unity is an issue and I decided to switch before they took the gnome cgoice from me - I am running 12.4 as a LTS | 01:18 |

| Dr_Willis | I dont own any mac hardware.. got rid of it all. what little i had. | 01:19 |
| ruckus_ | i don't think dual booting is an option | 01:19 |
| ruckus_ | well i thought i wanted one | 01:19 |
| ruckus_ | now i miss ubuntu | 01:19 |
| jpmh | ruckus_: I have not considered dual boot - so no idea | 01:20 |

| jpmh | . | 01:21 |
| jpmh | ruckus_: you will not regret the upgrade to the better hardware - it just feels good - its like driving a jaguar rather than a ford - same engine, but feel and finish | 01:22 |
| TaZeR | i think smeone infected me with something | 01:22 |
| TaZeR | they told me to write this weird shit into my xchat | 01:22 |
| TaZeR | i dont know why i did it | 01:22 |
| TaZeR | but after that i started to spam that weird shit every 5 minutes | 01:22 |
| Dr_Willis | TaZeR, close xchat delete your .xchat* dirs to reset it | 01:22 |
| jpmh | TaZeR: who is that someone you refer to | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | see #xchat for more help perhaps. | 01:23 |
| TaZeR | it was in one of those xdcc channels where they give u the free downloads of movies | 01:23 |
| TaZeR | they said i can get better speeds | 01:23 |
| TaZeR | if i typed it in | 01:23 |
| Dr_Willis | sounds like you know better now.. | 01:23 |
| TaZeR | yea im only gonna download off torrents now | 01:24 |
| Dr_Willis | err.. learn to not type in 'random stuff' people tell you... | 01:24 |
| jpmh | ruckus_: also remember it is a mac so if you do want tp go back you just step into the store and they reload for you | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | pastebin what you 'typed' and show it to the people in #xchat perhaps. and show us the pastebin.. | 01:25 |
| soy_el_pulpo | get the Dr some evidence!! | 01:25 |
| Dr_Willis | or just whipe out all your xchat stuff and start clean.. | 01:26 |

| megamanx1978 | How do I shrink my windows partition to make my home partition bigger after ubuntu is already installed? | 01:39 |
| Ben64 | megamanx1978: you need to do that from a livecd or usb | 01:39 |
| tohuw | Flynsarmy: nice. | 01:40 |
| kairos | I'm having problems with my sound. Root can play sounds, and I've added myself to the audio group, but it's still not working | 01:40 |
| Ben64 | kairos: root can play sounds? why are you using root? | 01:40 |
| tohuw | megamanx1978: is Ubuntu on a separate logical partition from Windows? | 01:40 |
| kairos | Ben64: To see if it was my user or the sound card that's the problem | 01:40 |
| megamanx1978 | Ben64 That helps but I need more info | 01:40 |
| Ben64 | megamanx1978: like what? | 01:41 |
| tohuw | megamanx1978: (meaning, you didn't install with Wubi or inside Windows) | 01:41 |
| megamanx1978 | Ubuntu is not inside windows I am duel booting | 01:41 |
| kairos | Ben64: And by root I meant running sudo aplay <sound> | 01:41 |
| tohuw | megamanx1978: Install and try gparted. Back up Windows first, read the man page to understand the ramifications and possible risks of shrinking a partition, etc. | 01:42 |
| megamanx1978 | Let me make a screenshot with gparted | 01:42 |
| tohuw | megamanx1978: http://www.gparted.org/display-doc.php?name=help-manual&lang=C#gparted-resize-partition | 01:43 |
| megamanx1978 | Here is my partition setup http://imagebin.org/259880 | 01:47 |
| tohuw | megamanx1978: Read the link I provided. In general, you should back up, shrink Windows, grow home | 01:49 |
| megamanx1978 | Can that be done with a seperate logical linux partiton like in my setup I just pasted? | 01:51 |
| megamanx1978 | http://imagebin.org/259880 | 01:51 |
| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| tohuw | megamanx1978: Yes. Free space is free space; any logical partition can consume it. Physically speaking, it may require partition restructuring of all the linux extended partitions, but it should work. If you experience trouble after reading the manual and giving it a go, come on back and let us know what went wrong. | 01:52 |
| heraclitus | What is a polyline parse error? | 01:54 |
| ParadoxGuitarist | So I'm trying to package a .deb for a proprietary app for debian-based users. I was planning on putting manuals in /usr/share/doc/Behringer/X32 the app in /usr/bin/ Icon for the app in /usr/share/icons/Behringer/scalable/ and .desktop file in /usr/share/applications. I know that will work for the Fedora package I made all those paths will be fine, but I'm not familiar with compatibility in Ubuntu. Does that all sound right to | 01:54 |
| nathansuchy | I just found a really cool package called irssi it allows you to use irc from the command line :) | 01:55 |

| Dr_Willis | what windows version megamanx1978 ? | 02:28 |
| megamanx1978 | win7 | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | and how are you trying to shrink the partition? | 02:28 |
| megamanx1978 | with gparted | 02:28 |
| Dr_Willis | well windows has the ability to resize its own partions while running windows. gpartd may need the windows partion to be defragged/scandisked. | 02:29 |
| megamanx1978 | I think win7 is on a primary partition | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | you may want to check the disk layout and see how many primary/extended/logical partitions you have also. | 02:29 |
| Dr_Willis | i found windows much faster at resizeing its own partions then gparted is. | 02:30 |
| megamanx1978 | How about I show you my partition table | 02:31 |
| Dr_Willis | screenshot of the gparted screen is one way. or pastebin the 'sudo fdisk -l' output. or 'sudo parted -l' (i think) | 02:31 |

| megamanx1978 | Yes | 02:33 |
| Dr_Willis | your sda7 is way huge for just / ;) i would doubt if / ever gets over 50gb for most people. | 02:33 |
| === falon is now known as Falon | ||
| Falon | hello | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | windows should be able to reisze sda1 while in windows. gparted may not like somthing with the filesystem. note the (!) by its entry | 02:34 |
| megamanx1978 | I want to use the extra space for a bigger home | 02:34 |
| Dr_Willis | you could always setup spare space on sda7 for your users to use . or shrink sda7 and enlarge sda6 | 02:35 |
| Dr_Willis | gparted may want the windows partion to be 'checked, and defragged' | 02:35 |
| megamanx1978 | So what is the windows way? | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | enlargeinbg sda6 to the left.. will mean you will need to remove/readd swap. expand sda2 (the extended) THEN expand sda6 in th extended partition | 02:36 |
| Dr_Willis | windows disk maager tool has a resize option | 02:36 |
| arowana | Hi all | 02:37 |

| Falon | 12.10 i believe | 02:47 |
| pawan | wanna upgrade from 9.04 to 9.10 | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !9.10 | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) was the eleventh release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 29th 2011, see http://ubottu.com/y/karmic for details. | 02:47 |
| pawan | then | 02:47 |
| pawan | i am on 9.04 | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | pawan, using that old of an release.. it would be better to do a clean install of a newer reelase | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !9.04 | 02:47 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty Jackalope) was the tenth release of Ubuntu. End Of Life: October 23, 2010. See !eol and !upgrade for more details. | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | those have both been EOL fo rseveral years now | 02:47 |
| pawan | how | 02:47 |
| Dr_Willis | download/burn/put on USB a new iso of a newer release and do a clean install would be the 'best' way | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | otherwise you are looking at a lot of time updateing from one release to the next. | 02:48 |
| Dr_Willis | and like 5x the download sizes | 02:48 |
| pawan | i dont want to burn | 02:48 |
| pawan | wanna do it online | 02:49 |
| pawan | from ubuntu servers | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !eol | pawan | 02:49 |

| Dr_Willis | check the EOL factid for upgradeing from a EOL rlease.. good luck.. you will need it. | 02:49 |
| Falon | Pawan i newb to this. But I followed simple instructions to create a USB installer. off the ubuntu website | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | u[gradeing from one EOL reelase to another EOL rlease.. is a bit pointless | 02:49 |
| Falon | im sure you will be able to do it to | 02:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !12.04 | 02:50 |

| Falon | is there a command to get the update started? | 02:50 |
| Dr_Willis | You will need to do some reading at the !EOL factoid if you want to upgrade to 9.10 | 02:51 |
| pawan | i try | 02:51 |
| pawan | i want to go from 9.04 to 9.10 .... | 02:51 |

| Dr_Willis | .img ? you mean a .iso? | 02:53 |
| Falon | hmm bellieves so | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | You cant just upgrade a 9.0X release straight to 13.04 you MUST go one release to the next.. | 02:54 |
| Dr_Willis | OR you can go one LTS release to the NEXT.. | 02:54 |
| Falon | ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.img yes | 02:54 |

| Falon | basically got this decent deal off ebay for this laptop/netbook with touchscreen 12.1" touchscreen as a parts or repair. found out the hdd couldnt be installed with a 2.5 drive so had to specially order a 1.8 drive for it. but in the mean time i had a 80gb external usb drive laying around though ill see if i can install windows to it. | 03:00 |
| Falon | NOPE! windows wont let you install to a USB base drive. | 03:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Nope it wont | 03:00 |
| Falon | so im like fine i got my copy of ubuntu on 8gb flash | 03:00 |
| Falon | booted it up fine and dandy | 03:00 |
| Falon | then i said well lets see if it installs to my 80gb lol and it did no problem | 03:01 |
| Falon | even touch screen works | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | you could have used 'dd' to image the usb to hd. ;) and cloned the syste, | 03:01 |
| Dr_Willis | system | 03:01 |
| Falon | dont know what dd is | 03:02 |
| Falon | I am surprised how quick and smooth playing mp3's & mp4's are on ubuntu | 03:03 |
| BaD_CrC | dd/ddrescue has saved my tail numerous times | 03:03 |
| Falon | last time i played with a linux based system was like Redhat 4. something | 03:03 |
| Falon | I have a rack server just sitting around i might dump Ubuntu server on and see what i can do with it for while | 03:04 |
| BaD_CrC | ubuntu has come a long way since i started using it around 5.04 | 03:04 |
| Dr_Willis | My 'rack' server. is a small stack of raspberry pis ;P | 03:04 |
| Falon | much more newb friendly | 03:04 |
| Dr_Willis | that goes for linux in general. ;) | 03:05 |
| Dr_Willis | no longer having to recompile the kernel to get cd-burners working | 03:05 |
| Falon | i have a dell power edge or something 3 blades each running 2X 2.0ghz xeon cpus 2gb ram each (too cheap to get more) and 120gb hds | 03:06 |

| Dr_Willis | file foo.dat may give a clue | 03:06 |

| malimbar | Question about grub - I just installed ubuntu a second time on a new HD, but it boots into the old hard drive automatically. How do I fix that? | 03:07 |
| Falon | and if you dont know what its from why would you want to open it? | 03:07 |
| BaD_CrC | "less file.dat" might work if it's text. or else it'll jumble the screen. | 03:07 |
| Dr_Willis | malimbar, tell the bios to boot the other hd. | 03:07 |
| Falon | yes change boot order in bios | 03:07 |
| malimbar | Dr_Willis, UEFI doesn't see the second hard drive in the boot options. Wait, let me try that again just in case. | 03:07 |
| malimbar | I'll be back :) | 03:08 |
| Falon | this new laptop/netbook is prity nice i think | 03:08 |
| BaD_CrC | oohh, i forgot how old this laptop really was. 32-bit, core duo, 1.6ghz, 1gb ram max. this should be fun. | 03:09 |

| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman, install some other desktop to use, untill you figure out whats got unity/compiz confused perhaps. | 03:12 |
| Dr_Willis | also it would be a good test to see if for example lubuntu works | 03:12 |
| Dr_Willis | if all the desktops fail - that would point to a driver/X issue | 03:13 |
| Dr_Willis | if they work. that wuld point to a compiz/unity issue | 03:13 |
| BlueProtoman | I'll try xmonad and lxde. | 03:13 |

| aladdin | heyyo nice people. why closing a terminal shuts down an application (providing the application is launched from the terminal?) | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | aladdin, depenmds on the app. and how you closed the terminal | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | parent closes.. closes the children in most cases | 03:15 |
| aladdin | Dr_Willis: I have only 2 options - Cancel and Close Terminal | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | or you could for example use 'gedit &' from the terminal and use the 'exit' command | 03:15 |
| Falon | ok tried to mount that image of 13.04 but it doesnt seem to do anything should there be a cd or some new drive open up in computer so that i can try to install/update? | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | that closes the terminal and should leave gedit running | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | bash job control basics -> http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/features_5.html | 03:16 |
| tones | do ubuntu irc people ever get together in real life? | 03:16 |
| aladdin | The thing is I can type anything that executes | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | whats this 'real life' of which you speak? | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | aladdin, give us more specific details | 03:17 |
| tones | where humans eat and drink food and make sounds with vocal chords | 03:17 |
| BaD_CrC | Dr_Willis: yes, but that terminal is the controlling session for that bash shell. close the terminal, any tasks related to it will die.... unless you use screen or dtach. | 03:17 |
| aladdin | sorry, I mean't i cannot type anything that executes. It is like typing on the blank text editor | 03:17 |
| bazhang | tones, in #ubuntu-offtopic is where we talk about that | 03:18 |
| Ben64 | aladdin: which application, how are you launching it? | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | BaD_CrC, you can use & and exit, but it can also depend on the app you laucnhed.. the point is to not just use the CLOSE button | 03:19 |
| aladdin | ben64: e.g. google-chrome from terminal | 03:19 |
| Ben64 | aladdin: if you start the application with an "&" at the end, you can exit the terminal and keep it running | 03:19 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis: Lxde actually works! However, I can't seem to use my monitor's full resolution; I gwt 1024*768 when I should get 1366*1768. | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | aladdin, 'google-chrome &' then 'exit' dont just hit the close button | 03:19 |
| BlueProtoman | Plus, I still don't have wi-fi. | 03:19 |
| aladdin | ahha, let me try | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman, my first guess - you dont have the proper video drivers going | 03:20 |
| mojtaba | Hi, could you please let me know why when I change the directory to my external HDD and use find, it is not working. but when I am in my home directory it is working! | 03:20 |
| aladdin | yeahhhhhh | 03:20 |
| Falon | ok tried to mount that image of 13.04 but it doesnt seem to do anything should there be a cd or some new drive open up in computer so that i can try to install/update? | 03:20 |
| Dr_Willis | mojtaba, clarify what you mean.. with specific errors | 03:20 |
| aladdin | Thank Ben64 and DrWillis | 03:21 |
| BlueProtoman | Dr_Willis, that's the problem I was originally trying to solve. Can I PM you? | 03:21 |
| mojtaba | Dr_Willis: I typed cd /media/myHDD | 03:21 |
| mojtaba | and then find . -iname *jpg | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | BlueProtoman, the extent of my video driver skills is installing nvidia-current mainly... | 03:21 |
| BlueProtoman | What about wi-fi drivers? | 03:21 |
| mojtaba | but it did not work, and when I came back to home directory with cd ~, it worked! | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | i bought wifi-dongles that work out of the box. :) on amazon. | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | plug and play and away i go.. $15 | 03:22 |
| Dr_Willis | or i plug one in and use that addational-drivers tool | 03:22 |

| BlueProtoman | It wirjed fine with 13.04, too! I did not upgrade, just reinstalled. | 03:23 |
| Dr_Willis | try installing an older kernel perhaps. | 03:23 |

| BlueProtoman | But I had the same damned krnel before I reinstalled! And yes, it did work fine with a live usb! | 03:24 |
| Dr_Willis | compare what modules are in use on the live cd vs the installed system | 03:24 |
| BlueProtoman | How? | 03:25 |
| Dr_Willis | boot one that works.. look at lsmod output. and kernel version, and what drivers are in use | 03:25 |

| Dr_Willis_ | Steam has recently been ported to linux with many linux native games also. | 03:47 |
| soy_el_pulpo | hi, have you guys tried to install firefox/mozilla sync? | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Xenoch: give us details.. but you will also be reccomeded to not use ftp. but use ssh/sftp/scp instead ;) | 03:47 |
| soy_el_pulpo | any success? | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis_ | soy_el_pulpo: firefox syncs here last i tried it.. dident have to install anything special | 03:48 |
| adam_g | anyone know why my fresh 13.04 install does not let me save recently unlocked gpg keys in my keyring, so i do not have to re-enter password? my gpg agent seems to be working, but not saving my password for session | 03:48 |
| soy_el_pulpo | Dr_Willis_: I have my own apache2 instance, so I understood I do not need the full server... | 03:48 |
| soy_el_pulpo | Dr_Willis_: I am following this guide: https://docs.services.mozilla.com/howtos/run-sync.html | 03:49 |

| soy_el_pulpo | Dr_Willis_: ah ok... https://services.mozilla.com/status/ says it is having issues | 03:50 |
| Xenoch | ok, I have installed vsftpd on my ubuntu 13.04 Virtual server, I have never messed around with the FTP backend before, using a more secure method would definitely be better. I would like to use filezilla to access my virtual development server, and using filezilla throws the error: 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_cmd, this may be due to not having my ssh/sftp system setup. Has anyone ran across this issue that can point me in the right direct | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis_ | Falon: the xchat homepage has dozens of scripts in differnt languages for your needs | 03:50 |
| bazhang | Falon, yes, the xchat webpage has them, and #xchat has a channel here | 03:50 |

| soy_el_pulpo | Dr_Willis_: sure... I have to read a bit more... | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis_ | and you need a script for what exactly Falon ? | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis_ | I dont use any scripts at all on xchat. | 03:51 |
| Falon | is nice to do stupid things like spam system info or mp3s playing atm or ascii text art | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis_ | well.. thats one way to get booted from this channel. ;P | 03:51 |

| malimbar | help would be appreciated | 03:54 |
| Xenoch | I am failing to undestand the diference between sFTP and FTP essentially, I would like an online virtual server that is secrure against standard port scans etc for working on small personal projects (nothing overly sensitive). Secure is better obviously, but I have no idea on where to start, is vsftpd a good thing to use or is there better? I am working on learning PHP and brushing up my portfolio in looking for a job in software dev. | 03:55 |

| malimbar | I don't see how it can be a grub problem, as this happens before grub is loaded | 03:56 |

| Xenoch | I am gettting a 500 OOPS: priv_sock_get_cmd from filezilla, and was wondering if attempting to login with my username/pass for ubuntu without setting up sFTP on vsftpd might be causing that issue | 03:56 |

| soy_el_pulpo | Xenoch: but if you are doing development, some kind of version control system will be better for that? | 03:58 |

| Scrivener | For example, I can have Firefox in fullscreen on a workspace, and if I Super-S to go to the switcher, hover over a workspace, and Super-S again to select it.. | 04:09 |

| Scrivener | So I basically can't use that as a method to switch workspaces. | 04:10 |
| Scrivener | As long as there is a fullscreen app in the workspace I'm coming from. | 04:10 |
| Scrivener | It's not a giant problem since I can always Ctrl-Alt-Arrowkey, but it made me wonder whether that was working as intended or not. | 04:10 |

| dooglus | I just installed ubuntu on a new laptop and can't get the touchpad working well. can someone help please? | 04:27 |
| malimbar | dooglus: what is it doing exactly? | 04:27 |
| MINTDOME | it didnt have xchat preinstalled i just installed from synaptic | 04:28 |
| cfhowlett | malimbar, I seem to recall some kind of physical reset option but that means removing the cover and closing a circuit with a paper clip or similar. Don't have the link though | 04:28 |
| dooglus | malimbar: it doesn't have any buttons, just a large touch area. you 'click' by pressing on the touch area, which makes it click, like there's a button under the touch surface. | 04:28 |
| MINTDOME | the read me on Adobe Flash Player said to copy the usr files and when i use the command | 04:28 |
| MINTDOME | it say all the files are the same | 04:29 |
| dooglus | malimbar: that makes double-click and drag impossible, since I can't hold down the 'button' without touching the touch surface, which then means I can't move the cursor | 04:29 |
| Ben64 | MINTDOME: you're likely to break stuff by doing that | 04:29 |
| aladdin | sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 04:29 |
| MINTDOME | Ben so what im suppose to do im not sure thats y im here been searching forums no luck | 04:29 |
| aladdin | Anybody what it is? | 04:29 |
| Ben64 | MINTDOME: and you still haven't said what system you're running... if its ubuntu you should be able to get the flash player from the software center | 04:29 |
| cfhowlett | aladdin, the codecs for multimedia that are not installed by default .. .mp3 and similar | 04:30 |
| dooglus | malimbar: does that make sense? | 04:30 |
| MINTDOME | I have software manager not center | 04:30 |
| malimbar | dooglus: double click and drag drags... windows? | 04:30 |
| aladdin | cfhowlett: cool, thanks. is it safe to install? | 04:30 |
| malimbar | similar to alt+drag? | 04:30 |
| === Tylerjd|Away is now known as Tylerjd | ||
| cfhowlett | aladdin, it is. | 04:31 |
| Ben64 | MINTDOME: ok, so what are you running? linux mint? backtrack? fuduntu? something else? | 04:31 |
| aladdin | cfhowlett, okay | 04:31 |
| dooglus | malimbar: double-click selects words, double-click and drag selects multiple words; but forget that - even single-click and drag doesn't work - because to drag I have to keep a finger on the touch area, which stops the other finger from dragging | 04:31 |
| cfhowlett | aladdin, safe. stuff can't be installed by default due to legal/licensing. pay attention there are a couple of "enter" required during the font installation | 04:32 |
| dooglus | I guess https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-input-synaptics/+bug/365952 is the same issue - but that says it has been fixed... and it hasn't | 04:32 |

| ubottu | MINTDOME: To find out what version of Ubuntu you have, type « lsb_release -a » in a !shell - To know the available version of a package, « apt-cache policy <package> » | 04:33 |
| malimbar | dooglus: I'm not exactly sure how you'd want to change the behavior, but I would first guess it is a driver problem. Which laptop are you using? | 04:34 |
| MINTDOME | Linux Mint 12 first time using this | 04:34 |
| bazhang | !mintsupport | MINTDOME | 04:35 |
| ubottu | MINTDOME: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 04:35 |
| MINTDOME | how do i do that | 04:35 |
| dooglus | malimbar: I want to be able to select text by clicking at the start of it, and dragging to the end of it. it's an asus laptop | 04:35 |
| dooglus | malimbar: sorry, acer. acer v5-571-6830 | 04:36 |
| malimbar | dooglus: and you click with a tap. So tap then drag should act like click + drag. I think I got you now | 04:36 |
| dooglus | malimbar: it's what I think is called a 'clickpad' - a touchpad with no buttons, but which physically clicks when you press on it | 04:37 |
| dooglus | malimbar: I click by pressing the touchpad harder until it clicks | 04:37 |
| dooglus | malimbar: not tap-to-click, but an actual hardware click | 04:37 |
| malimbar | ah | 04:37 |
| dooglus | if I'd noticed the touchpad didn't have buttons I wouldn't have bought it. I guess I'll take it back and exchange it tomorrow | 04:38 |
| malimbar | dooglus: in lue of a driver change, I bet there is a way to enable that in settings | 04:38 |
| dooglus | just wondered if there's a software fix | 04:38 |
| malimbar | dooglus: but I currently don't have an ubuntu install (if you payed attention I got my own computer problem to fix :)), so I can't find it for you | 04:38 |
| dooglus | there's no way of holding the button down without touching the touch surface - so then when I try to drag, it sees that as a 2-finger touch, and tries to scroll or something | 04:38 |
| dooglus | malimbar: what's your problem? | 04:39 |
| malimbar | dooglus: said it when I first entered, broke the BIOS when trying to fix the boot-order on UEFI. Now it won't even POST. Looking up online how to reset that | 04:40 |
| dooglus | malimbar: ugh. this is the first UEFI laptop I've seen. getting it to boot and install ubuntu was trivial though | 04:42 |
| paddy | i wish there was a way to run Ubuntu 10.04 on my hardware :P | 04:42 |
| paddy | the other features that came along the way are too advanced | 04:42 |
| malimbar | dooglus: oh, it used to work fine. I just installed a new HD though that UEFI wasn't recognizing as an option for boot-order | 04:43 |
| paddy | "it sees that as a 2-finger touch" etc. | 04:43 |
| Ben64 | paddy: 12.04 works fine | 04:43 |
| paddy | it works, but fine is something else :P | 04:43 |
| Ben64 | just turn off unity and it's just as fast if not faster than 10.04 | 04:43 |
| paddy | i am stuck in the year 2009 | 04:43 |
| paddy | ah, true | 04:43 |
| paddy | i could try Unity2 | 04:44 |
| malimbar | dooglus: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseNotes/UbuntuDesktop - have you tried putting two fingers on the clickpad when you click? | 04:44 |
| BroUnicorn | hey what port am I forwarding for ssh | 04:44 |
| BroUnicorn | I'm trying to make it accessible worldwide | 04:44 |
| paddy | BroUnicorn: have a "cat" at /etc/services | 04:44 |
| Ben64 | BroUnicorn: 22 unless you changed it | 04:44 |
| YokoBR | guys, anybody having trouble with ati hybrid graphics? | 04:45 |
| BroUnicorn | and if I changed it just the number I changed it to? | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | BroUnicorn: this is why we suggested sticking to the defaults | 04:45 |
| malimbar | dooglus: as in, click, and hold that click while the othe finger moves | 04:45 |
| paddy | BroUnicorn: but it is wise to use something like fail2ban then too when you open your ssh to the public | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | BroUnicorn: if your router has a 'dmz' setting you could just set it in the dmz and all ports on it will be open, as if it was directly connected to the internet | 04:45 |
| BroUnicorn | Dr_Willis: I'll just change it back | 04:46 |
| BroUnicorn | Dr_Willis: Okay, I enabled the local IP address of the server in DMZ | 04:48 |
| BroUnicorn | Now should it be accessible? | 04:48 |
| BroUnicorn | I still cannot connect. This is a paste bin of my interfaces file and my sshd_config file | 04:51 |
| Ben64 | BroUnicorn: which port is ssh running on? and what external ip? | 04:51 |
| BroUnicorn | 22 | 04:51 |
| BroUnicorn | and you mean my router ip? | 04:51 |
| Ben64 | sure | 04:52 |
| Ben64 | like how are you checking if it's working or not | 04:52 |
| BroUnicorn | I'm doing "ssh username@externalip" | 04:53 |
| Ben64 | which is.... | 04:53 |
| BroUnicorn | 75.92.217.70 | 04:54 |
| Ben64 | then your router isn't set up properly | 04:54 |
| BroUnicorn | Why is that? | 04:54 |
| BroUnicorn | :O | 04:54 |
| Ben64 | because all the ports are being blocked | 04:55 |
| BroUnicorn | I had enabled DMZ and had the ports going correctly | 04:55 |
| Ben64 | well something isn't right | 04:56 |
| BroUnicorn | in my Interfaces file I have this… http://pastebin.com/Ugj1H0JA | 04:56 |
| BroUnicorn | are the gateway and name server supposed to be my external router ip address? | 04:57 |
| Ben64 | external? no. | 04:59 |
| jacksonka | No, the gateway is | 04:59 |
| jacksonka | Example: | 04:59 |
| jacksonka | ip address 192.168.2.100 | 05:00 |
| jacksonka | gateway 192.168.2.1 | 05:00 |
| jacksonka | network 192.168.2.0 | 05:00 |
| Mint | test | 05:01 |
| jacksonka | broadcast 192.168.2.254 | 05:01 |
| jacksonka | or 255 | 05:01 |
| Ben64 | jacksonka: use a pastebin for multi-line stuff | 05:01 |
| jacksonka | k | 05:01 |
| jacksonka | the namesever can be caching or top level | 05:02 |
| jacksonka | commonly servers use caching nameservers for dns queries | 05:03 |
| jacksonka | hope this helps | 05:03 |
| jacksonka | Oh BroUnicorn your public address is given by your provider generally ipv4 | 05:06 |
| jacksonka | This address is a public address on the internet. The gateway is your local area network is probably 192.168.2.1 or 192.168.200.1 or 192.168.1.1. | 05:08 |
| Mint | /nick your_favorite_Mint Dome | 05:09 |
| Ben64 | jacksonka: most of what you're saying is irrelevant... | 05:09 |
| jacksonka | There is what is called the lan or local area network gateway to the wan wide area network. The gateway ties the two together through NAT network address translation. | 05:09 |
| Ben64 | just stop | 05:09 |
| jacksonka | Just thought that would help. | 05:10 |
| Ben64 | none of that matters, and he hasn't spoken for over 12 minutes | 05:10 |
| jacksonka | Maybe he got his question anwered. | 05:11 |
| Dr_Willis | BroUnicorn: you are testing this ssh from INSIDE the lan? or from a phone or other pc.. outside the lan? | 05:19 |
| Dr_Willis | BroUnicorn: and you did restart the ssh service after altering its configs? | 05:20 |

| aladdin | ? | 05:39 |
| Ben64 | !ufw | aladdin | 05:39 |
| ubottu | aladdin: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 05:39 |

| Ben64 | tbharath: it gives you the solution in the error message | 05:41 |
| malimbar | Hello! I ran myself into a problem after installing a new HD. The UEFI didn't recognize it as a valid option for boot order (I could boot into it manually by the temp boot option). I then ran repair-boot off an ubuntu liveUSB stick. In the UEFI II got a new option for a HD labeled "NA". I figured that was the unnamed new HD I put in, so I (like an idiot) selected that. Now my comptue rwon't POST | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | aladdin: and what are you blocking by this firewall? are you runing any services? | 05:41 |
| malimbar | woh, it didn't tell me I can't post it that time. Woo | 05:41 |
| jacksonka | tbharath: msb | 05:41 |
| jacksonka | master boot record is the issue | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | windows mindset - 'a firewall is needed by default' - Linux mindset - you may not need a firewall at all. | 05:41 |
| Ben64 | malimbar: then choose a different option? | 05:42 |
| tbharath | Ben64, I have done that but no change | 05:42 |
| aladdin | i see what you mean. just running through youtube tutorial: '9 things u should do after installing ubuntu'. do you it is not necessary till you run any service? | 05:42 |
| malimbar | Ben64: it oh damn, I posted it in #ubuntu, meant for ##hardware. Sorry | 05:42 |
| Ben64 | malimbar: yeah i figured. ##hardware might need you to be registered to talk | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | wonder if you removed the hds - if the pc would boot. | 05:43 |

| Whiskey`Wonka | lotuspsychje: sadly no, this bios has zero fan controls available | 05:49 |

| Whiskey`Wonka | lotuspsychje: and the issue is purely with the OS. the fans work fine one boot, not at all on the next. when it DOES work its onyl for about a hour, then the poof no more fan | 05:49 |
| jacksonka | I require several chat rooms for support, sales etc. in an SMB environment with small group of employees and contractors. | 05:49 |
| lotuspsychje | Whiskey`Wonka: you saying ubuntu shuts down your fan control? | 05:50 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | lotuspsychje: im saying its broken. what or why, i do not know. | 05:51 |

| lotuspsychje | Whiskey`Wonka: check ##hardware aswell if your toshiba model have overheating problems overall | 05:54 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | localhost: It doesnt. | 05:54 |
| abhi | kali tools for ubuntu 13.04 please... | 05:54 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | That was one of the first things i checked | 05:54 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | and as i said, running windows the fan works fine | 05:55 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | sensors doesnt see what my sensor chip is | 05:55 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi: if they are in the repositories. use apt-gets wildcards, or the synaptics search feture to select/install what you want | 05:55 |
| jacksonka | Whiskey Wonka: I had this problem and you can find the culprit by ps and determining which process is hogging processor band with start killing process one at a time until the fan problem is gone. | 05:55 |

| jacksonka | k | 05:56 |
| Scrivener | abhi, the easiest way to do this would be to use Kali linux | 05:56 |
| Scrivener | abhi, if you want them all configured like you would normally | 05:56 |
| * Dr_Willis has no idea 'which' kali hes refering to.. | 05:56 | |
| Scrivener | If you still want to use them but be running Ubuntu primarily, set up Kali Linux in a virtual machine. | 05:57 |
| Scrivener | VirtualBox is a good choice for this. | 05:57 |
| Scrivener | In my setup, I run Kali Linux in a virtual machine, and a couple of targets in two other virtual machines. | 05:57 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | jacksonka: BTW wht is causing high cpu use is ME using the laptop for things (google earth, RF modling, minecraft, etc) | 05:57 |
| Scrivener | For my lab. Soon I'll just have Kali on a laptop and run targets in VMs on Ubuntu. | 05:57 |
| Scrivener | abhi, this way, you can still utilize Ubuntu, but you have Kali in another window anytime you need it. | 05:58 |
| lotuspsychje | Whiskey`Wonka: maybe this can help also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1686118 | 05:58 |
| Scrivener | abhi, if you need help with setting up a VM in VirtualBox on Ubuntu, I can help you | 05:58 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | lotuspsychje: yes i have that, yes i can watch the temp rise, doesnt help me turn the fan on | 05:58 |
| jacksonka | You can modify options in opengl which may reduce cpu bandwidth usage Whiskey Wonka. | 05:59 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | jacksonka: honestly thats a bandaid and wont help /at all/ | 06:00 |
| jacksonka | k | 06:00 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | the cpu will overheat just watching flash. the cpu fan is NOT coming on AT ALL. | 06:00 |
| jacksonka | Oh | 06:01 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | the only working solution right now is to lock the cpu speed at 800 mhz | 06:01 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | sorry was that part not clear when i said /cpu fan not working, broken, need to set it speed manualy/ | 06:01 |
| TheUsD_ | does anyone know what the command is to restart owncloud service? | 06:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Whiskey`Wonka: is your bios flash up-to-date? | 06:01 |
| jacksonka | So you change the multiplier Whiskey Wonka | 06:01 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | lotuspsychje: that was the 2nd thing i did. it helped a little but that is subjective | 06:02 |
| abhi | Sir i have followed the instructions in the link " http://linuxg.net/add-the-needed-repositories-for-kali-linux/ " . But still was unable to see the packages list in synaptic. Please help... | 06:02 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | jacksonka: no i set the cpu gov to conservitive | 06:02 |
| TheUsD_ | whiskey'wonka: lower multiplier, the MHZ clock, and voltage. | 06:02 |
| TheUsD_ | whiskey'wonka: voltage will greatly help temp. | 06:03 |
| lotuspsychje | abhi: Dr_Willis showed you the kali package trigger | 06:03 |
| jacksonka | bus band times multiplier is total bandwidth. | 06:03 |
| Dr_Willis | abhi: done a sudo apt-get update after adding repos? and it shows the new repos? | 06:03 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | TheUsD: No, ill fix the fan or i will dump ubuntu as a viable OS | 06:03 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | TheUsD: this is PURELY a ubuntu issue | 06:03 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | namely a 12.10 and newer issue. 12.04 WORKS | 06:04 |
| jacksonka | Its a combination of chipset and kernel configuration Whiskey Wonka. | 06:04 |
| TheUsD_ | "the only working solution right now is to lock the cpu speed at 800 mhz" comment sounded like you were asking how to lower CPU temp. | 06:04 |
| abhi | yes i have done sudo apt-get update after adding repos. | 06:04 |
| jacksonka | Do you know the chipset for your Toshiba 745? | 06:05 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | TheUsD: no, sorry read the back log. the issue is non working cpu fan | 06:05 |
| Whiskey`Wonka | jacksonka: which these things have many | 06:06 |
| TheUsD_ | whiskey'wonka: I read that, sorry I took it as a physically broken fan :p | 06:06 |

Since the standard PC disklabel can't support partitions larger than 2TB, I had to us a GPT disklabel on the new HDD, which meant GRUB had to do some special gymnastics to boot from it.

| Jordan_U | erpo: As Unity is just the shell, that's still a GNOME session. | 07:02 |

| ubottu | 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/ | 07:32 |
| marvx | pls help...i get no sound in games but in browser and flash n system....im on 13.04 | 07:33 |
| Dude100 | hey hi. . . . In UBUNTU can any one tell me how to get front jack working to hear music from handsfree. . . . ?? | 07:33 |
| marvx | check your audiio settings | 07:34 |
| marvx | i needed to edit the alsa-base-conf to get it to work | 07:34 |
| soulslayer | hey there guys i successfully installed quake3-arena but there is no sound i attempt the bootmisc init script but obviously its obsolete | 07:34 |
| soulslayer | i tried the LD_PRELOAD trick which does not wokrs too | 07:34 |
| soulslayer | can someone provide any guidelines to resolve that sound problem ? | 07:34 |
| cfenix | Dude100: i think you need to check the cables from your audio card to those ports.. | 07:35 |
| soulslayer | rofl | 07:35 |
| soulslayer | Dude100, check your sound configuration via the gnome-control-center -> sound | 07:35 |
| soulslayer | so . no one here played quake3 ? :D | 07:36 |
| cfenix | Dude100: there is different types of sound cards.. most of them handle the switch physically (as soon you plug in a cable it interrupts the other output signal for example) | 07:39 |
| cfenix | soulslayer: i did, but a long time ago, and it worked out of the box xD | 07:40 |
| soulslayer | yeah when /dev/dsp was available | 07:41 |
| nrdb | I have a mdadm setup to email me. I just noticed that a 'rebuild' happened, but I didn't get an email telling me something was up... I ran an 'mdadm --monitor --scan --test' and that did send the emails... I noticed that mdadm has been started with the '--syslog' option, will this stop emails? | 07:44 |
| cfenix | soulslayer: you should try OpenArena, it uses the same packages from QuakeIII | 07:45 |
| cfenix | soulslayer: a good alternative would be Nexuiz whish reminds me of Unreal Tournament golden edition (old version) | 07:47 |
| Dude100 | hello i m learner of ubuntu | 07:47 |

| llutz | aladdin: sudo apt-get install virtualbox | 08:15 |
| aladdin | ? | 08:15 |
| iceroot | aladdin: apt-get will download it for you. you should always use software from the repos when it is in there | 08:15 |
| iceroot | !repo | aladdin | 08:15 |
| ubottu | aladdin: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 08:15 |

| iceroot | is there a way to list the dependencies with ubottu? | 08:18 |
| Seveas | iceroot: nope. | 08:19 |
| Seveas | but you can use apt-cache in your terminal: apt-cache depends package_goes_here | 08:19 |
| iceroot | Seveas: i want it for another ubuntu release :) | 08:19 |
| aladdin | thank you. but how to install the downloaded file from the terminal e.g.? | 08:19 |
| iceroot | Seveas: so i guess packages.ubuntu.com is what i want | 08:20 |
| Seveas | iceroot: yeah | 08:20 |
| iceroot | aladdin: 1. dont install that deb, 2. sudo dpkg -i file.deb | 08:20 |
| iceroot | aladdin: vbox does have an own repository for ubuntu | 08:20 |

| walltender | histo: Before it says modem-manager caught signal shutdown. Then I uninstalled that model-manager. Now it only halts with my_username login: cursor, halts there forever. | 08:39 |
| histo | walltender: have you taken a look at /var/log/messages ??? | 08:39 |
| Seveas | walltender: 'caught signal shutdown' doesn't mean it prevented the shutdown :) | 08:39 |
| funnyboy240 | :-) Do you have any conditions I should know about? Like Ass Burgers? | 08:39 |
| Seveas | walltender: looks like there's an acpi bug | 08:39 |
| funnyboy240 | When is walltender looks like there not an acpi bug? | 08:39 |

| elky | i'm not stupid enough to find out | 08:44 |
| histo | lol | 08:44 |
| walltender | hipitihop: messages doesn't exit under /var/log, many log files doesn't exist under /var/log as specified https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LinuxLogFiles | 08:44 |
| walltender | Seveas: Nice solution, sounds just like buy a new laptop solution. | 08:44 |
| Seveas | walltender: in recent versions of Ubuntu all is logged to /var/log/syslog | 08:44 |
| Seveas | walltender: buy a new laptop costs money. Upgrade ubuntu doesn't and means using a more recent kernel, which is less likely to contain this acpi bug. | 08:45 |
| Seveas | on my optiplex 780 12.04 wouldn't shutdown, 12.10 and 13.04 do. | 08:45 |
| histo | Seveas: I would investigate power management issues | 08:46 |
| Seveas | histo: I wouldn't start investigating before upgrading. Good chance that someone else already investigated and fixed the issue :) | 08:46 |
| walltender | Seveas: It's not a new installation of ubuntu, I used it for a year. I suspect that it might be caused by I disable some module in "sudo bum" or through another application which I don't remeber. | 08:49 |
| Seveas | walltender: ah, then why didn't you say that at first? | 08:50 |
| walltender | Seveas: I just recalled when I surfed the net. | 08:52 |
| histo | elky: oh boy now he's in #debian | 08:52 |

| llutz | mission accomplished! troll got attention | 08:53 |
| elky | yep | 08:54 |
| Seveas | walltender: then try recalling what you did and undo it :-) | 08:55 |
| walltender | Seveas: Very funny. Is there a system log for that? | 08:56 |
| histo | walltender: have you looked at your .bash_history | 08:57 |
| llutz | "history | less" | 08:57 |

| solancer | how can I write to a file and escape the system variables? | 09:22 |
| nugroho | when ubuntu start up linux kernel access the hardware system but gsm card with hsdpa or lte or in sum like lts detected in recent release | 09:22 |
| histo | walltender: Okay your question has nothing to do with ubuntu. | 09:22 |
| solancer | for instance I want to echo "PATH=$HOME/.jruby/bin" >> .bashrc | 09:22 |
| histo | solancer: what? | 09:22 |
| histo | solancer: remove the quotes | 09:23 |
| histo | solancer: or possibly with \ | 09:23 |
| Seveas | solancer: use single quotes instead of double, that way $HOME doesn't get interpolated | 09:23 |
| nugroho | kernel linux ussually in english language but in desktop i prefer francaise but launching application translate with lancer | 09:23 |
| solancer | histo, nope tried both din't work | 09:24 |
| MonkeyDust | nugroho it's very hard to read what you write | 09:24 |
| solancer | Seveas, that din't work either | 09:24 |
| Seveas | nugroho: english is clearly not your native language, perhaps visiting a channel using your native language will get you help faster. As is, I find it rather difficult to understand what you say. | 09:24 |
| histo | !fr | nugroho | 09:24 |

| nugroho | ubuntu access to drive or local disk ussually by reading the block sector of the disk but kernel linux not knew about this | 09:25 |
| libpenguin | Seveas: which is better - updated old os like 12.04 or 12.10 up to date or latest os release like 13.04 ? and what to go for - latest release like 13.04 or its lateset daily build on the day of downloading the os ? | 09:26 |
| flux242 | solancer: escape $. Like echo \$PATH | 09:26 |
| * Vai morning all =) | 09:26 | |
| nugroho | my native language is indonesian but knew a little english ussally read linux kernel message but write with vi | 09:26 |
| Seveas | libpenguin: I would go for 13.04, not daily dev builds | 09:26 |
| libpenguin | Seveas: why ? and what about updated old os or latest release ? | 09:27 |
| Seveas | because newer releases fix bugs :) | 09:27 |
| nugroho | ubuntu linux with old version of minix is very long ago but linux kernel not knew much with minix | 09:27 |
| MonkeyDust | libpenguin 12.04 if you want long support, 13.04 if you want the latest stuff | 09:28 |
| Seveas | nugroho: this is a support channel. Do you have an Ubuntu problem you need help with? | 09:28 |
| cyphase | how can i scan my root filesystem, specifically /etc, for all files and changes that weren't put there by a package? i.e. all changes made by me or a configuration program | 09:28 |
| MonkeyDust | cyphase btrfs can do that with snapshots, not sure how to do it with ext4 | 09:29 |
| Crosant | hi could somebody have a look into this problem? http://askubuntu.com/questions/236209/installing-12-10-installer-doesnt-see-harddrive | 09:30 |
| libpenguin | MonkeyDust hmm...but long support also means fixed bugs and lateset stuff being integrated via updates | 09:30 |
| nugroho | well ubuntu linux also work and distribute with android phone maybe released from google corporation | 09:30 |
| MonkeyDust | libpenguin decide what you prefer! | 09:30 |
| libpenguin | MonkeyDust: i am not an expert...you suggest and tell what you think as better | 09:31 |

| ubottu | nugroho: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 09:31 |
| cyphase | MonkeyDust, there's no tool that can do it by looking at which packages put which files where and comparing the file in the package with the file in /etc? | 09:31 |
| histo | cyphase: you could hash the files and compare them to the originals provided by the packages | 09:32 |
| cyphase | histo, i know. is there already a tool that does that? | 09:32 |
| llutz | cyphase: debsums | 09:32 |
| flux242 | cyphase: by sorting by date I suppose. But this is exactly what I'm currently trying to figure out. What if I use some sort of a overlayfs and mount rootfs as readonly | 09:33 |
| nugroho | information in ubuntu linux is good with gui interface not in console but will meet linux kernel again | 09:33 |
| Aktiff | Hi i have one cuestion i install office on wine and works well but i dont know how to put a shortcut on unity bar can anybody hep me? | 09:33 |
| histo | Aktiff: create a office.desktop that launches wine ~/.wine/drive_c/path/to/office.exe | 09:34 |
| llutz | cyphase: but event that won't do what you need, because some of the files in /etc were created using post-/preinst scripts and not listed with md5-sums in package information | 09:34 |
| histo | Aktiff: try in #wine-hq | 09:34 |
| Aktiff | oh ok i go here and check this thank you | 09:34 |
| flux242 | so just after the clean install I switch to an overlayfs and every single change in the rootfs will be stored in overlay | 09:35 |
| nugroho | ubuntu multimedia like xine or madplayer or mpg123 able to launch multimedia file | 09:35 |
| flux242 | ok, maybe only /etc should go to the overlayfs | 09:36 |
| nugroho | fedora or redhat unable to play multimedia file but ubuntu while download application mpg123 or madplayer sound very good | 09:36 |
| MonkeyDust | cyphase not that i know of | 09:37 |
| Aktiff | histo i dont know how to make a .desktop | 09:37 |

| ioioioioio | Hi, I deleted the login keyring in 13.04 because I could not get it to accept my pw as I had to go through some legth to change my root pw after forgetting it -- what are the consequences of doing this? (it seems to have solved the problem of the neverending pop up window) | 09:37 |
| cyphase | llutz, thanks, debsums -es does what i want, though of course you're right that not all files in /etc are straight from the .deb, or even in the .deb at all | 09:37 |
| Aktiff | i read one tuto but i am a litle newon ubuntu and dont know if thatsteps are safe | 09:38 |
| Aktiff | http://ubuntu-install.blogspot.mx/2011/05/add-wine-programs-to-unity-launcher.html | 09:38 |

| koramati | could you please suggest me | 10:07 |
| minimec | koramati: What you can try is to delete all the repository lists and refetch them with sudo apt-get update... The command would be 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf' | 10:07 |
| snadge | i can understand that its not a commonly utilised feature on the majority of desktop systems.. but it can't be for size reasons, there must be some other consideration that i'm missing | 10:07 |

| minimec | koramati: The reason why I am sceptical is, that with each 'sudo apt-get update' you are updating these lists. If the /var/lib/apt/lists is empty, you do have a problem. Can you once 'ls /var/lib/apt/lists' or open it with the GUI file manager. You should also have an additional folder in there... | 10:25 |

| === klixaK is now known as Guest44150 | ||
| minimec | koramati: Ok. That is good. Now 'sudo apt-get update' once. The the lists folder should be populated with files like 'security.ubuntu.com_ubuntu_dists_precise-security_restricted_i18n_Index' or so. | 10:33 |

| gordonjcp | deletet: the MAC address doesn't directly map to an IP address | 10:43 |
| Ben64 | deletet: uh, thats not how mac addresses work | 10:43 |
| deletet | but the rest i try from hecadecimal to decimal but seems theat is not the ip theat i need | 10:43 |
| minimec | koramati: Or simply try to empty that partial folder once too with 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/ * -vf' and do 'sudo apt-get update again' | 10:44 |

| minimec | koramati: Let's create a new repository list. First we backup the old list: 'sudo mv /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.backup' | 11:01 |
| Fuzzles | MonkeyDust, what drivers do you mean from repo then? | 11:02 |
| minimec | koramati: Now we create a new sources.list with this http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 11:02 |
| lotuspsychje | marianne: bigger the icon size of the .pub and .pdf files | 11:02 |
| marianne | lotuspsychje: I guess I'm just a bit lost on how to pull the files over. Right now I have the nook reader on my iMac and it's crap... opens sometimes, sometimes not | 11:04 |
| MonkeyDust | Fuzzles what was your initial question? | 11:04 |
| lotuspsychje | marianne: just import your ebook collection on usb stick, then copy them all to nautilus they will be ready to open with calibre | 11:05 |
| cfhowlett | marianne, be aware that amazon's cloud reader works perfectly on linux. don't know about nook ... | 11:06 |
| marianne | lotuspsychje: Ok,coolio. That should be easy. Or I could always download the windows nook reader and run it in wine...right? | 11:06 |
| Fuzzles | is there a way to get the opensource drivers from 13.04 into 12.04? | 11:06 |
| lotuspsychje | marianne: calibre will run smoother in my opinion | 11:06 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | I have ati radeon graphics i am sure and i have not seen proprietary graphics drivers for my card yet maybe i will find them now | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | Fuzzles use the !backports | 11:07 |
| minimec | Fuzzles: As they are part of the kernel, no. But maybe you can use the kernel of Ubuntu 13.04. It should be in the repos. Now it's 3.8.0.23 , I think | 11:07 |
| marianne | lotuspsychje: Ok, going to work on it a bit, thanks for pointing me in the right direction! | 11:08 |
| Fuzzles | MonkeyDust, are the backports under pre-release in undate manager? | 11:08 |
| lotuspsychje | marianne: any time | 11:08 |
| MonkeyDust | !backports | 11:09 |

| SteveBell | it'S an external harddisk not the bootdisk | 11:19 |
| SteveBell | it's the disk with all my media going to be used in xbmc. but that#s not working cause somehow it's not writeable. maybe due to the OSX journaled formatting? MonkWitDaFunk | 11:20 |

| === Taylr0x is now known as Taylz | ||
| Prostetnic | thecodeischaos, the terminal is easier than you initially expect but the learning curve is the wrong way round for a beginner, its a wall that quickly tapers away, rather than a gentle slope that gets steeper and steeper for a gui. | 11:56 |

| Prostetnic | makara, is bash matching the wildcard pattern *before* passing it to locate? | 12:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Serelijah e.g.: locate fstab | 12:29 |

| fellayaboy | so how would i do that..how can i mount it and get it workign | 12:31 |

| auronandace | !mount | fellayaboy | 12:32 |
| ubottu | fellayaboy: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 12:32 |
| zykotick9 | fellayaboy: manually use mount, or create an fstab entry for the drive. | 12:32 |
| Serelijah | I don't even know what software Linux has, how should I start anyway? | 12:32 |
| Jordan_U | makara: Globs are patterns used for matching files in bash, and bash expands (unquoted/escaped) globs before passing them on to any command. For example, 'echo /home/mar/*$1*' will probably list files, even though the echo command itself knows nothing about files or globs. | 12:32 |

| cfhowlett | !uefi|krov, | 12:42 |
| ubottu | krov,: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 12:42 |
| lotuspsychje | hs: sorry mate, didnt find any tricks | 12:43 |
| Serelijah | Wait a second, was it a bad idea to try to start with command-line? | 12:43 |
| lotuspsychje | Serelijah: someone sugested starting to start gui, and then learn commandline bit by bit | 12:44 |
| zykotick9 | Serelijah: i'd guess most ubuntu users rarely use terminal... certainly NOT the easiest to start with. | 12:44 |
| gordonjcp | Serelijah: depends what you're trying to do | 12:44 |
| gordonjcp | Serelijah: if you're running a server, you probably want to start getting used to using CLI for everything | 12:44 |
| Jano_ | no it isnt easyiest but there are many anuals on internet you only need how to use "nano" and "man" | 12:45 |
| gordonjcp | Serelijah: using the CLI is not an end in itself, it's just a tool that makes some things easier | 12:45 |
| krov | cfhowlett: i know its replacement. but why use it? the only thing i know is that is support for higher hardrive, and i dont know what other purposes it have | 12:45 |
| gordonjcp | krov: you can use UEFI if your hardware supports it | 12:45 |
| gordonjcp | everything should use UEFI | 12:45 |
| gordonjcp | the BIOS needs to die | 12:45 |
| mango | is anyone familiar with 'RailsInstaller; for windows or mac? is there something similar for ubuntu? | 12:46 |
| gordonjcp | actually, OpenBoot > UEFI but no-one can understand | 12:46 |
| krov | gordonjcp: i think it support it cus i choose Boot in UEFI | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | mango: whats the purpose of that program? | 12:46 |
| zykotick9 | gordonjcp: ya, because microsoft controlling all hardware is a good thing </sarcasm> | 12:46 |
| gordonjcp | zykotick9: how does Microsoft control "all hardware"? | 12:46 |
| gordonjcp | Microsoft have nothing much to do with UEFI | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | all the Intel Macs are UEFI, for example; no Microsoft there | 12:47 |
| Jordan_U | krov: UEFI is not needed for drives larger than 2 TiB, just GPT (unless you want to boot Windows). But Pretty much all PC boot firmware sold today defaults to UEFI. | 12:47 |
| mango | lotuspsychje: well it installs ruby, rails, heroku.(i think) just a convenient bundle of stuff for developing rails apps on your system | 12:47 |
| zykotick9 | gordonjcp: only MS can give you secure boot keys... they also dictate the entire process. | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | zykotick9: anyone can generate secure boot keys | 12:47 |
| mango | lotuspsychje: instead of doing it one at a time | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | zykotick9: you just need to configure UEFI to use them | 12:47 |
| Jano_ | mango: it is needed to run ruby its simple | 12:47 |
| gordonjcp | zykotick9: or, disable secure boot | 12:47 |

| alket | gordonjcp: /dev/sda6 already mounted or / busy | 12:52 |

| gordonjcp | have you rebooted since it asked to fix /tmp? | 12:54 |
| adamk | MonkWitDaFunk: Above you were commenting on the lack of proprietary drivers for your ATI video card. Not all ATI video cards are supported with the current proprietary driver, which is why I was asking. | 12:54 |
| zykotick9 | MonkWitDaFunk: fyi, you can't run both proprietary ATI and nvidia at the same time... | 12:54 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | I am assuming you get better results off looking at the screen and using glxgears with open source drivers compared to proprietary on an ati card | 12:56 |
| gordonjcp | right, got to go and deliver stuff, ttyl | 12:56 |
| alket | gordonjcp: no other folders | 12:56 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | My single board computer that has the ati card was built in 2012 | 12:56 |
| adamk | MonkWitDaFunk: First, glxgears isn't a benchmark. Second, the proprietary drivers generally give better 3D performance. | 12:57 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | Really? Is it a guarantee proprietary drivers should be adopted for your graphics? | 12:58 |
| adamk | MonkWitDaFunk: Not at all. Personally, I prefer the open source drivers. They do everything I need, they are enabled by default, and cause less problems for me. | 12:59 |

| adamk | zykotick9: /etc/resolv.conf is certainly not completely deprecated. It is very clearly being used by dig. | 13:10 |
| Jordan_U | adamk: zykotick9: It's not "deprecated" in that tools don't read from /etc/resolv.conf, but Ubuntu's /etc/resolv.conf points to localhost by default, so looking there won't be very enlightening. | 13:11 |

| Jordan_U | !resolvconf | adamk zykotick9 | 13:12 |
| ubottu | adamk zykotick9: resolvconf is a set of scripts that's used to manage /etc/resolv.conf in 12.04 and later, for more information please see: http://www.stgraber.org/2012/02/24/dns-in-ubuntu-12-04/ and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.10/serverguide/network-configuration.html#name-resolution | 13:12 |

| vbooh | Hello, everyone. Please, tell me, there is a way to save permanently settings for /sys? For example, save setting for /sys/block/sdb/queue/scheduler . /etc/rc.local is deprecated, as far as I know. Option 'elevator' for kernel is not accepted for my case. | 13:33 |
| zykotick9 | danes: there is some way to manually tell apt to reinstall the config file(s) but i don't know what it is. you could try reinstalling it, then properly purging it, then reinstalling again - hopefully that "might" work. or research the reinstall config option. | 13:34 |

| Sullane | Can anyone help me with a driver installation? | 15:42 |
| csst0111 | I just installed GParted but doesn't let me use most options ( like 'check' I want to use on /home partition ) | 15:42 |
| adamk_ | Sullane, Again, what problem are you having? | 15:43 |
| Sullane | I was told on the AMD website to use this command: | 15:43 |
| Sullane | sh ./ati-driver-installer-x86.x86_64.run | 15:44 |
| aladdin | kostkon, making great sense. thanks :) | 15:44 |
| Sullane | but I keep getting this error | 15:44 |
| Sullane | sh ./ati-driver-installer-x86.x86_64.run | 15:44 |
| docmur | Okay so I tried forcing my router into N only mode and my wireless card couldn't connect, so I ran sudo lshw -C network and this is the details of my wireless card. http://pastebin.com/0SsuzRTc, it supports N. SO now I'm stuck if I should just go get a new wireless card or not, I can't run a wired connection to the router like I would like, also the wireless card doesn't support dual band | 15:44 |
| Ari-Yang | Sullane, fglrx drivers are horrible. | 15:44 |
| adamk_ | Sullane, Is there some reason you are not using the version packaged by/for Ubuntu? | 15:44 |
| Sullane | oops wrong copy paste | 15:44 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Sullane https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Installing_upstream_drivers_directly_from_AMD.27s_website | 15:45 |
| Sullane | I don't know but I just downloaded Ubuntu today | 15:45 |
| Ari-Yang | Sullane, open source drivers are better | 15:45 |
| adamk_ | Sullane, What video card do you have? | 15:45 |
| Sullane | and ever since then my laptop has been hotter so I'm assuming it's using the better of my graphics cards (switchable graphics) | 15:45 |
| Ari-Yang | the default, again, the amd/ati proprietary ones aren't good at all. | 15:45 |

| Ari-Yang | I just linked | 15:46 |
| Sullane | also have some integrated graphics card in here too | 15:46 |
| OerHeks | lspci | grep -i VGA | 15:46 |
| adamk_ | Sullane, Depending on your specific laptop, you may only be able to use the integrated GPU. Switchable graphics is hit-or-miss. | 15:46 |
| Sullane | I am now checking out that website. Thank you | 15:46 |
| Sullane | Eh so there is no fix for it? | 15:47 |
| === picca_ is now known as picca | ||
| adamk_ | Sullane, As I said, it's hit-or-miss. Install the drivers the proper way and see if they work. | 15:48 |
| Sullane | okay | 15:48 |
| Ari-Yang | but I'm telling you, don't expect it to be great | 15:48 |

| cheebs_ | Hello guys, I'm trying to fix a problem I'm having with my Elantech Touchpad. I have the synaptics driver installed, but my device identifier looks like "PS/2 Elantech Touchpad", and I think it's being recognized as a 2-button mouse instead of a touchpad.. | 15:49 |
| Sullane | Sorry for being pretty ignorant here. I've never used linux before | 15:49 |
| Sullane | don't really understand anything. even the terminal stuff | 15:50 |
| Ari-Yang | you're not being ignorant at all... | 15:50 |
| Ari-Yang | oh | 15:50 |
| adamk_ | And fglrx isn't as horrible as some make it out to be :-) | 15:50 |
| Ari-Yang | well then just google for terminal ubuntu commands | 15:50 |
| Ari-Yang | !terminal | 15:50 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 15:50 |
| Sullane | Yeah I have no clue what fglrx is in the first place :P | 15:50 |
| adamk_ | Sullane, fglrx is the proprietary driver AMD develops. | 15:51 |
| Sullane | ohhh | 15:51 |
| Ari-Yang | Sullane, http://gyazo.com/bbcb6b1dba1a4cb5a63ee30dcfb7b692 | 15:51 |
| Ari-Yang | what adamk_ said | 15:51 |
| Sullane | so should I just use the x.org thing? | 15:51 |
| Ari-Yang | yes | 15:51 |
| Ari-Yang | which is default | 15:51 |
| Ari-Yang | Sullane, go to software sources and go to the 'Additional Drivers' tab | 15:52 |
| adamk_ | Sullane, Entirely up to you. If you are able to do what you want with the current drivers, then there isn't much reason to change, is there? | 15:52 |
| Sullane | mhmm | 15:52 |
| Ari-Yang | does yours look like mine? | 15:52 |
| Sullane | true | 15:52 |
| Sullane | I changed to the second option earlier | 15:52 |
| Sullane | but I didn't really know what I was doing | 15:52 |
| Ari-Yang | Sullane, I suggest you try the proprietary drivers, if you don't like it, simply switch back. | 15:53 |
| Ari-Yang | installing it will take a few min. | 15:53 |
| Sullane | my computer hasn't been so heated up when I was using windows so I figured something was wrong with the grpahics | 15:53 |
| Sullane | okay | 15:53 |

| YokoBR | hey guys, i have two files on /var/www that i can't chmod'em. i've tryied to stop apache, but didn't worked | 16:13 |

| noob680 | hi. if i have a dual boot setup with win7 64bit and ubuntu and my windows gets infected with a virus/malware/etc, can i reinstall windows only without altering the ubuntu install and my data? or do i have to backup data then reinstall both win7 and ubuntu? | 16:14 |
| adamk_ | If you know what you are doing, you can reinstall windows without touching the Ubuntu partition. | 16:16 |
| adamk_ | noob680, However, you might also be able to just use an antivirus program on linux to scan the windows partition. | 16:16 |
| MonkeyDust | noob680 did you install ubuntu inside windows, with wubi? | 16:17 |
| adamk_ | Oh, good point... I always forget about wubi. | 16:17 |
| MonkeyDust | adamk_ know thyne enemy! | 16:18 |
| Ari-Yang | I used WUBI to make the ubuntu usb installer | 16:18 |
| faye | thine? | 16:18 |
| noob680 | its actually just a hypothetical. i am building a desktop that i want to install dual boot with grub. i have a remote job where i might have to browse malicious websites. i have to use windows and a special software so i can't work in ubuntu. so im just wondering | 16:19 |
| python|pi | is it safe to set up ssh on another port other than 22 or is port 22 the magic of encryption and not the ssh program. | 16:19 |
| adamk_ | noob680, My suggestion would be to setup Windows in a virtual machine. That way you can sandbox it easily, take a snapshot of a clean version, and easily restore from the snapshot. | 16:20 |
| jrib | python|pi: it's safe if you want to do that | 16:20 |
| python|pi | thanks | 16:21 |
| Ruiseart | python|pi: You can set any port for ssh. | 16:21 |
| noob680 | adamk_, ok i think i will. never done that before. is it pretty involved? does my comp performance suffer much? | 16:21 |
| jrib | aladdin: -- tells the command that what comes after is not a switch for the program and should be taken literally | 16:21 |
| faye | has anyone successfully set up softimage 2014 or any other on ubuntu 13.04 or any other? | 16:22 |
| adamk_ | noob680, Depends on how good the computer is, and the version of Windows you go with. I frequently run Adobe CS in Vista via VirtualBox and vmware player without real issues. | 16:22 |
| MonkeyDust | faye any other on any other, that's rather vague | 16:22 |
| lasindi | Hi all, how do I disable compiz in Ubuntu 13.04? I have an application in Wine that I think isn't drawing widgets properly because of it and I want to try a non-3D window manager. | 16:22 |
| adamk_ | lasindi, Install openbox and select it on the login screen. | 16:23 |
| faye | i'm sorry. what i mean is i'm trying to install autodesk softimage 2014 on ubuntu 13.04 and want to know if anyone has done so. but if nobody has, i would also be glad to know of anyone that has set up any softimage on any ubuntu | 16:23 |
| lasindi | adamk_, okay, so there isn't just a one-liner I can use without relogging in? I have to install a new window manager? | 16:24 |
| MonkeyDust | !find softimage | 16:24 |
| ubottu | Package/file softimage does not exist in raring | 16:24 |
| auronandace | faye: sounds like windows software, ask in #winehq | 16:24 |
| adamk_ | lasindi, Actually, you might be able to just disable compositing via ccsm... | 16:24 |
| noob680 | adamk_, i have an amd 4.2ghz quad core/8gb ram and want to use win7 64bit. so do i install win7 and ubuntu and grub then setup virtual machine? or i install virtual machine from the beginning | 16:24 |
| faye | no. i'm trying to install autodesk 2014 linux x64 version | 16:25 |
| docmur | I have a wirless card that is I think 2 years old. When ever I try to transfer files to my server I get a TOPS speed of 1.5MB/s. I thought the issue might be the router (EA3500) so I turned off mixed mode and enabled N only mode, the card couldn't even connect to the wirelss. Now the card runs the ATH9k chipset and supports 802.11 (a)b/g/n, but clearly | 16:25 |
| docmur | isn't workng N mode. So my options try to fix this card or just buy a new one, any ideas? | 16:25 |
| adamk_ | noob680, You install Ubuntu (grub will be installed by default). Setup the entire hard disk to use Ubuntu (assuming there is nothing else on it already). Then install vmware player or virtualbox and use one of those to create a Windows 7 VM. | 16:25 |
| adamk_ | noob680, Make sure your CPU supports hardware virtualization, and that it's enabled in the BIOS... | 16:26 |
| adamk_ | noob680, Oh wait, actually, I believe all 64-bit AMD CPUs support that these days. | 16:26 |
| faye | MonkeyDust: what do you mean "!find softimage"? | 16:26 |
| MonkeyDust | faye is that autodesk homestyler? | 16:26 |
| python|pi | I don't see any way to restart my ssh service ssh isn't in /etc/init.d/ ubuntu 12.10 | 16:27 |
| faye | no. autodesk softimage 2014 is available for 64 bit linux, but only supported for redhat and fedora | 16:27 |
| noob680 | adamk_, ok cool. hope its not easy to mess up doing that. so the virtual machine will have all the functionality of a regular windows install? | 16:27 |
| hedin | I have installed "virtual machine host" and virtual machine manager on 2 ubuntu-12.04 desktop computers, they are on the same network and I have installed a VM on one of them, then when I try to migrate the VM, I get access denied, I suspect it's because /var/lib/libvirt/images is owned by root:root on both systems, instead of libvirtd or something like that... Any suggestions? | 16:27 |
| nrdb | how can I change the window move button from the <alt> key to the <window> key? | 16:27 |
| faye | its the same for maya 2014 and mudbox 2014 (redhat/fedora only) but i was able to easily write up scripts to install both of them | 16:28 |
| noob680 | adamk_, so i dont have to bother to enable in BIOS then? | 16:28 |
| nrdb | or something else from the <alt> key? | 16:28 |
| Ari-Yang | is there any advantage of setting diff cpu cores to diff governors? | 16:28 |
| sssstavr | is there a way to install OSX on ubuntu with a CPU that does not support VT? | 16:28 |
| Ari-Yang | like setting core 1 to ondemand and setting core 4 to conservative? | 16:28 |
| adamk_ | noob680, Not really sure... The hardware will support the necessary features, but they could be turned off in the BIOS, I guess. That would strike me as odd... Possible but odd. Unless you are doing something with 3D acceleration, I don't see any reason why Windows in a VM wouldn't work for you. | 16:29 |
| noob680 | adamk_, ok, sounds good. thanks for your advice! wish me luck! | 16:29 |
| faye | MonkeyDust: what do you mean "!find softimage"? | 16:30 |
| Dartoper | I'm having Win7/Ubuntu dual boot issues | 16:30 |
| auronandace | noob680: virtualisation features of a cpu usually need to be activated in the bios first | 16:30 |
| Dartoper | anyone have experience with that? | 16:30 |
| kostkon | noob680, cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep vmx | 16:30 |
| kostkon | noob680, is it an intel cpu? | 16:31 |
| noob680 | kostkon, no its amd | 16:31 |
| kostkon | noob680, then cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep svm | 16:31 |
| noob680 | kostkon, sry idk what that means | 16:32 |
| starter | hi | 16:32 |
| kostkon | noob680, if you see that cpu flag it highlighted after you give the command, it means it's already on | 16:32 |
| kostkon | minus it* | 16:33 |
| Ari-Yang | is there any advantage of setting diff cpu cores to diff governors? for e.g. setting cpu core 1 to performance and setting core 2 to ondemand | 16:33 |
| noob680 | kostkon, oh ok. thx i'll write that down. i actually havent even setup my comp yet :P | 16:33 |
| faye | anybody: what is "!find" ? | 16:33 |
| kostkon | noob680, ok | 16:34 |
| noob680 | just wondering, can i setup my comp first with a regular win7 install and ubuntu with grub then setup a virtual machine thing separately? | 16:35 |
| faye | maybe a better question, does anybody know somewhere i might be able to find anyone that could help me set up any linux version of autodesk softimage on any version of ubuntu? | 16:36 |
| lasindi | Wow, okay disabling compositing really screwed up Unity. | 16:37 |
| BluesKaj_ | noob680, virtul machine runs a sa guest OS on a hostr OS , it's not a separate partition , if that's what you mean. | 16:38 |
| lasindi | adamk_, when I did it I had to disable a bunch of other things and I ended up with a blank screen. I guess Ubuntu doesn't have any other window manager besides compiz as a fallback (installed by default)? | 16:38 |
| * BluesKaj_ cleans crumbs out of the KB | 16:38 | |
| adamk_ | lasindi, I honestly don't know what other window managers Ubuntu installs by default, if any :-) | 16:39 |
| noob680 | BluesKaj_, not necessarily. i just have a bunch of hardware that i fear might have driver issues if i dont install a regular version of windows so i want a win7 64bit/ubuntu with grub setup but i would like to try using a virtual machine thing too | 16:39 |
| adamk_ | noob680, FYI, but vmware player and virtualbox support USB passthrough, so any USB devices can be used directly by the VM. PCI devices are another matter entirely. | 16:41 |
| BluesKaj_ | noob680, I'm running W7 on VirtualBox with guest additions on Kubuntu host ...quite seemless between OSs | 16:42 |
| BluesKaj_ | err seamless | 16:42 |
| faye | anybody, please? i need it for school and i cant get fedora to run on my computer :( | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj_ | pci drivers like nvidia graphics can't be instralled on VB , noob680 , VB supplies it's own driver | 16:43 |
| BluesKaj_ | faye, join #fedora | 16:44 |
| faye | but i dont have fedora | 16:44 |
| BluesKaj_ | they will tell you to installit , faye | 16:44 |
| BluesKaj_ | how to | 16:45 |
| faye | i have ubuntu and thats why i need help. if fedora would run on my laptop i could setup softimage but it wont and i have everything else already set up with ubuntu | 16:45 |
| noob680 | what exactly do i need to setup the virtual machine? i have a usb stick with win7 on it that i was going to install with. this comp doesnt have an optical drive. i can setup virtual machine with this win7 usb stick that was meant for a regular install? | 16:45 |
| Green_Geeky_Dude | <- puts head in hands and goes for a coffee | 16:45 |
| faye | honestly what i want is to be able to use debian, but it wont work on my laptop either, but thats not my issue right now. i just want to be able to use softimage so i dont fail my classes | 16:46 |
| BluesKaj_ | faye, then setup a partition for fedora with gparted live media , burn the fedora image to media and install fedora on the new partition | 16:47 |
| adamk_ | faye, If no one here is familiar with softimage, no one can really advise you on it. | 16:48 |
| BluesKaj_ | noob680, that should work | 16:48 |
| noob680 | BluesKaj_, cool thanks! | 16:48 |
| faye | BluesKaj_ i dont have a lot of space to do something like that. i'd have to reformat my whole computer because of how i set up my partitions 3 years ago, and i dont want to lose my files either | 16:49 |
| Znoosey | faye, have you tried this: http://www.getsetdata.com/finally-softimage-running-on-ubuntu/ | 16:49 |
| BluesKaj_ | noob680, don't forget to download the guest additions iso image for VB drivers and access to ubuntu folders | 16:49 |
| faye | adamk_ i know you're right, but theres so many ppl here i hoped maybe someone was familiar and just hadnt spoke up | 16:50 |
| lasindi | adamk_, Do you know any simple way to disable compositing that won't cause all kinds of problems? I think you're right that's what I want, but doing it through ccsm basically made my computer unusable. | 16:50 |
| faye | Znoosey i saw that on google, but i always get error 403 when trying to look at it | 16:50 |
| noob680 | BluesKaj_, ok...man i hope this isnt something that is easily messed up while trying....i am a noob after all | 16:50 |
| adamk_ | lasindi, All I can suggest is installing another window manager. | 16:50 |

| Strulker_ | DJones: Ok. Thank you. So, I'll choose Mint 15 KDE until then. | 16:59 |
| docmur | Does the DWA-182 work on Ubuntu | 16:59 |
| Strulker_ | Whos is using 13.04? | 16:59 |
| Strulker_ | who* | 17:00 |
| faye | i am | 17:00 |
| friking | not me. 12.04 LTS | 17:00 |
| Strulker_ | Anybody is using ubuntu 13.04? | 17:00 |
| faye | Strulker_ i am | 17:01 |
| Strulker_ | faye: So, what do you thing about it? | 17:01 |
| faye | Strulker_ i think its pretty buggy and crashes a bit, gnome runs slower than in previous version, driver issues for hp tm2_2050us still arent fixed, and login screen crashes occasionally, but ubuntu base is updated frequently, and it seems to run a little better after each update | 17:02 |
| Strulker_ | I already liked Ubuntu. No offense, but, I do not want anymore because its a little unstable. A beautiful O.S. When became most Stable I'll choose it. | 17:04 |
| Strulker_ | Good luck guys. | 17:04 |

| Sullane | my GUI is not showing up... and I am not good enough at this stuff to do anything from command line | 17:05 |
| Strulker_ | Sullane: I suppose that you have to reinsert the live cd and reinstall. | 17:05 |
| faye | Strulker_ if you want more stable try lts version? | 17:05 |
| Sullane | it's not booting from the live CD | 17:05 |
| Sullane | D: | 17:05 |
| Sullane | don't know how to get to bios | 17:05 |
| Sullane | either | 17:05 |

| seronis | Sullane: bios on computers i have owned has been F1 F2 F8 F10 or the 'delete' key | 17:06 |
| Sullane | I even tried to put windows in my computer just to get it to boot from disk | 17:06 |
| seronis | just randomly push all 5 as its booting | 17:06 |
| Strulker_ | Sullane: Press 'esc' | 17:06 |
| faye | Strulker_ or rather, if you have well tested hardware, try debian, since ubuntu is deabian unstable fork by canonical | 17:06 |
| Sullane | Oh it hit bios. no clue which button it was though | 17:07 |

| faye | Strulker_ lol i was about to say if you're good with computers, slackware is as beautiful and stable as you make it :P | 17:09 |
| Strulker_ | faye: Yes. I know. I liked since installed. A complete and stable system. | 17:10 |
| faye | Strulker_ i never tried mint, but i read good things about it. only problems i have with slackware are kde default instead of gnome and have to compile everything myself. no time for that now. or maybe just too lazy hehe | 17:11 |

| adamk_ | Guest2158, AMD dropped support for that GPU from their latest proprietary drivers. You can either use the open source drivers that are installed by default (what I would recommend) or you can use the legacy drivers from AMD, which require downgrading all of Xorg. There is a PPA for the latter option. | 17:23 |

| c2tarun | Hi friends, my room-mate purchased a new ACER laptop today. Laptop don't have any operating system. I created 4 partitions and installed Ubuntu 13.04 in second partition. Installation went successfully. But on rebooting I am getting message "Operating System Not found". I tried to boot in by live CD and install grub, still its not working. | 17:33 |
| c2tarun | Can anyone please help me? | 17:33 |
| IdleOne | c2tarun: you are installing grub to /dev/sda | 17:34 |
| IdleOne | ? | 17:34 |
| c2tarun | IdleOne, yup I mounted /dev/sda2 (it has linux) to /mnt and then I executed "sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/ /dev/sda | 17:35 |

| IdleOne | c2tarun: I am not sure about that, it might work. | 17:43 |
| adamk_ | Guest2158, I don't understand that question... "clutter"? | 17:43 |
| Guest2158 | will it b ring trouble? | 17:43 |
| Guest2158 | what are the disadvantages? | 17:44 |
| adamk_ | Guest2158, It might, I guess. I've never done it. I know there are a number of people who have downgraded Xorg and happily use the legacy version of fglrx, though. | 17:44 |
| gh1234 | shotcaller: depends, you could mirror your harddrive or just copy the files manually to another place or use tools like rsync... What exactly do you want to backup and how often? ;) | 17:45 |
| Guest2158 | where do i find a proper guide for this? | 17:45 |
| shotcaller | gh1234, i want to backup a cakephp project once | 17:46 |
| rampage73 | shotcaller, you could also use something like OwnCloud. Kind of like ubuntuone but runs on your servers and clients. | 17:46 |

| adamk_ | Guest2158, Don't ask me for help if you run into problems :-) | 17:47 |

| raidghost | What tool do you recommand for record typos (like if you want to put everything that happends during a install of something into whathappend-during-install.txt ? | 18:09 |
| Beltechs | so u recommend I do the upgrade script? every 10.04 that I tried it on broke... twas easier just to reinstall 10.04... | 18:09 |

| Beltechs | then I should install 12.04server? Im really learning to get away from the gui.... I started learning in the gui... | 18:13 |
| ThinkT510 | Beltechs: 10.04 is still supported on the server | 18:14 |
| MonkeyDust | Beltechs but if you plan to fresh install, might as well install 12.04, it's newer | 18:14 |
| MonkeyDust | the next LTS wil be 14.04 | 18:16 |
| Beltechs | well when i bumped into the end of life for desktop 2 weeks ago... I thought about 12.04 because I didnt know when I would run into eol for another distro | 18:16 |
| jacksonka | Is Ubuntu a tech channel? | 18:16 |
| MonkeyDust | jacksonka support channel | 18:16 |
| ThinkT510 | jacksonka: this is a support channel | 18:17 |
| jacksonka | thanks | 18:17 |
| Beltechs | so I should build a LAMP 12.04 and back up and restore mysql databases and www from the 10.04 server to the new 12.04. Does this sound like the correct procedure or am I looking at something like migration script? | 18:18 |
| jacksonka | k. yes | 18:18 |
| MonkeyDust | Beltechs there's also #ubuntu-server | 18:18 |
| jacksonka | OH | 18:19 |
| jacksonka | Ok I will add #Ubuntu server | 18:19 |

Question is, how do i make sure that | 18:22 |
| blues_ | NFS traffic is routed across that dedicated link? | 18:22 |
| blues_ | the storage box and the ubuntu server are connected directly, no switch... their network facing ports feed into switch | 18:23 |

| m0nk3yjoe | I disabled cups in upstart but I still see /usr/sbin/cups-browsed Anyone know what that is? | 18:24 |
| lunaphyte | blues_: if, from 10.10.11.2, you talk to 10.10.11.1, then traffic will use the link between those two interfaces. | 18:25 |

| MonkeyDust | CNF_ it's with for blah in etc, better ask in #bash | 18:30 |
| MonkeyDust | CNF_ it's called "bulk rename" | 18:30 |

| lunaphyte | he's asking about the rename command... | 18:31 |

| MonkeyDust | CNF_ it's bash syntax "for ... in ... do ...", but better ask the people in #bash | 18:32 |
| CNF_ | Ah | 18:32 |
| CNF_ | Okay, thanks | 18:32 |
| lunaphyte | e.g. rename * *.txt | 18:32 |
| lunaphyte | but that's assuming you're using the actual rename command. | 18:32 |
| lunaphyte | if you're not, and you want to do it manually with a shell script, then yes, you'll need to use a loop | 18:33 |
| === martins is now known as Guest5378 | ||

| cnu | My system has Intel Pentium Dual core running at 2GHz. I've installed ubuntu 13.04 two days back. I'm feeling slow response from system. when i click on icon on launch bar it takes some 15 seconds to open... | 19:10 |
| MonkeyDust | cnu install preload, for a start | 19:11 |
| datasmith | Dr-willis - login at console? Do you mean open a terminal? | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | datasmith, console = alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | but it might do it for a login shell also. | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | xterm -ls | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | look at the scripts in /etc/update-motd.d/ | 19:12 |
| Dr_willis | one of those give a summary of any packages that need uodated | 19:13 |
| MonkeyDust | cnu here's more: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5727095/ | 19:13 |
| datasmith | oh ok, When I logon, it simply prints the OS version and prints documentation URL. | 19:13 |
| Dr_willis | then you most likely dont have any updates avail | 19:14 |
| datasmith | ah, that may be right, I just did an update. | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | if you are that worried about it. do a 'sudo apt-get update' 'sudo apt-get upgrade' and see | 19:14 |
| MonkeyDust | cnu oh, and remove brltty, it's for blind people | 19:14 |
| Matthew_Moore | Mert? how did you do it? i have the PLugins-main. compiz config-settings, but the extra-plugins only gives me a dummy package. i have Universe enables and all that. what did you do diffrent? | 19:14 |
| Dr_willis | update does NOT upgrade. ;) | 19:14 |
| datasmith | ok, But I wanted to know the number of pacakages available, before actually doing an upgrade. | 19:15 |
| Dr_willis | it will tell you when you start the upgrade. you then say yes, or no to continue | 19:15 |
| === benjamo is now known as benjamino | ||

| datasmith | It has a file called 90-updates-available, that when executed tell me what I need to know. | 19:20 |
| Dr_willis | look in that file.. | 19:20 |
| Dr_willis | it shows the actual command used. ;) | 19:20 |
| datasmith | executes /usr/lib/update-notifier/update-motd-updates-available. | 19:21 |
| === mike_ is now known as Guest44675 | ||
| Dr_willis | and i belive thats a perl script. (or python) | 19:23 |

| datasmith | Now, I can pipe the output of that command to notify-send and get a neat noticifaction while logon. | 19:23 |
| Dr_willis | but the update manager basiucally does that automatically... | 19:25 |

| ThinkT510 | !dash | zehexx | 19:51 |
| ubottu | zehexx: /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash | 19:51 |

| MonkeyDust | Slike i'm not too familiar with (u)efi, i'm sure someone else can help better | 20:00 |
| seronis | zehexx: yes. anything you type after a program name gets passed to it as the argv elements | 20:00 |

| ks_ | is this a true statement? "You can't start a GUI app on boot because it needs to be attached to a graphical session, the graphical session is only setup after you login. " | 20:16 |
| MonkeyDust | ks_ X needs to be loaded, first | 20:17 |
| adamk_ | ks_, More or less, but you can setup your display manager to autologin, and your x session to automatically start an app. | 20:17 |
| ks_ | so my assumption is that once my remote pc is rebooted it is waiting for someone to login in order for apps like Firefox to load their default page | 20:17 |
| adamk_ | ks_, Unless your display manager is set to autologin a user, your assumption is correct. | 20:18 |
| ks_ | adamk_: I tried to edit /etc/gdm/custom.conf with no effect | 20:18 |
| adamk_ | OK... | 20:18 |
| MonkeyDust | ks_ try ssh -Y user@ip "set of graphical commands" | 20:19 |
| ndro | Should I unmount before using fsck, Ben64? | 20:19 |
| Dr_willis | ks_, you could setup vnc to run a 'hidden' desktop' at boot time. | 20:19 |
| Dr_willis | X forwarding like with the ssh stuff. does not need a visible X desktop | 20:19 |
| zehexx | if i want set ufw in GUI, i have open it, but how set it ===>i want to reject All incoming and outgoing ,but not for "xchat" and "firefox(http)" | 20:20 |
| adamk_ | ks_, Maybe you should explain to us what you are trying to do... | 20:20 |
| ks_ | Dr_willis: I'm not very proficient in linux, so that is very general to me | 20:20 |
| MonkeyDust | ks_ you're a beginner and start with something advanced, does not make sense | 20:21 |
| ks_ | adamk_: I want remote Ubuntu with Gnome to start Firefox upon reboot | 20:21 |
| ks_ | MonkeyDust: yeah, I love challenges :) | 20:22 |
| Dr_willis | ks_, clarify what you want to do over the remote? why are you running a browser remotely? | 20:22 |
| ndro | Reformated and it still mounts as ro | 20:23 |
| Dr_willis | running a browser remotely will be very sluggish. | 20:23 |
| ks_ | Dr_willis: we are trying to do a load test for the website (as well as Selenium framework) | 20:23 |
| Ben64 | ndro: you formatted? | 20:23 |
| ndro | Ben64 yes as ext4 | 20:24 |
| Ben64 | so you had no data on it? | 20:24 |
| cotdayum | What is the service name for the touchpad on ubuntu ? | 20:24 |
| ndro | Ubuntu seems to handle fat32 better than ext | 20:24 |
| Ben64 | no | 20:24 |
| ks_ | Dr_willis: so the idea is to start remote instance with just Firefox and then ramp up the number of instances | 20:24 |
| ndro | Ben64 no | 20:24 |
| Ben64 | ext2,3,4 are native filesystems for linux | 20:25 |
| Dr_willis | ks_, look into vnc and freenx if you want a full remote 'desktop' or ssh and X forwarding.. | 20:25 |
| ndro | And it won | 20:25 |
| ndro | Wont write on it | 20:25 |
| Dr_willis | you will need to give firefox a special no-remote option i recall if ssh x forwaerding it. | 20:25 |
| Ben64 | ndro: you're doing something wrong. pastebin the output of "mount" | 20:25 |
| zehexx | ok,thx. don't answer my question is not important. | 20:26 |
| ndro | That would be an empty pastebin | 20:26 |
| ks_ | Dr_willis: we actually don't need any feedback from remote instance at all, just make sure that it opens up our website in Firefox | 20:26 |
| Ben64 | ndro: why | 20:26 |
| ndro | Ben64 it doesnt output anythong | 20:26 |
| Ben64 | yes it does | 20:26 |
| ndro | Just jumps to new line | 20:26 |
| Ben64 | "mount" by itself shows all mounted filesystems | 20:27 |
| k1l_ | ndro: "mount" should list your mounted devices | 20:27 |
| k1l_ | ndro: if there comes nothing there is alot wrong at your system | 20:27 |
| ndro | Ohh | 20:27 |
| ks_ | Dr_willis: adamk_: MonkeyDust: we are able to achieve that with Windows instance, but it is twice more expensive | 20:27 |
| ndro | I thought when I ask it to remount silly me | 20:27 |

| ndro-pc | Ben64: http://pastebin.com/LYvTj5MA | 20:33 |
| Dr_willis | ks_, you could have the vnc desktop on the remote open 1000 firefox's if you wanted.. but i really dont think this is the proper way to be testing things. | 20:34 |
| ndro-pc | Ben64: The partition I'm talking about is the last one in there, formatted it so it lost it's label. | 20:35 |
| ks_ | Dr_willis: if it is possible to encapsulate all logic inside the instance, that would be great. Perhaps I need to dig on one of your advice to 'setup vnc to run a 'hidden' desktop' at boot time' | 20:36 |
| Dr_willis | ks_, why does it have to be firefox? | 20:37 |
| gdoteof | this is a sort of weird request i guess.. but is it possible to run ubuntu in greyscale? | 20:38 |
| ks_ | Dr_willis: we have written some FF extension to test page functions | 20:38 |
| gdoteof | or 16bit colors or something? | 20:38 |
| Dr_willis | ks_, so.. why does it have to be a remote instance at all? | 20:38 |
| Dr_willis | gdoteof, ages ago you could alter the xorg.conf to set the bitdepth.. but not done that in ages.. | 20:39 |
| gdoteof | my buddy's wife is doing fieldwork in a remote 3rd world place and wants to make her netbook as unattractive as possible and seems convinced running it in black and wite would be the best thing to do | 20:39 |

| Dr_willis | put hello kitty stickers all over the netbook. | 20:39 |
| ks_ | Dr_willis: in theory you could imitate some load on your local workstation, but only so much | 20:40 |
| gdoteof | similarly, if anyone knows of a modern standalone wordprocessor that can store to usb/sd card without the use of a computer that would be even more valuable | 20:40 |
| ndro-pc | Ben64: any idea? :( | 20:40 |
| gdoteof | Dr_willis: i currently have DefaultDepth 24 | 20:40 |
| gdoteof | if i change that defaultdepth to 1 | 20:40 |
| gdoteof | would that be what i want? | 20:41 |

| Dr_willis | silly experiments are silly. ;) | 20:41 |
| gdoteof | Dr_willis: ? what do you mean? i mean like a standalone wordprocessor | 20:41 |

| gdoteof | just like my digital piano has | 20:42 |

| gdoteof | Dr_willis: exactly like that | 20:42 |
| gdoteof | with or without actually using paper | 20:42 |
| Dr_willis | good luck finding one of those these days... | 20:42 |

| gdoteof | not ideal, but one is OTW | 20:43 |
| ndro-pc | Dr_willis, do you know if gnome has any invert colors feature? | 20:43 |
| Curs0r | Components being cheap these days you could probably slap together a word processor station of sorts with a mini-itx board and a stripped down distro | 20:43 |
| Dr_willis | ndro-pc, theres those compiz plugins to invert colors. | 20:43 |
| gdoteof | ndro-pc: in compiz you can set filters that will do negatives.. but i can't get the whole screen to go.. just the managed windows | 20:43 |
| gdoteof | the icon bar and menu stay "normal" | 20:44 |

| JC_ | Good afternoon, anyone here to assisit with a resolution issue, HP t510 thin clients, Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Server on HP ML110 G7, was working fine till delivered to clinet now when connecting LG TV's using DVI to HDMI it experiences resolution error | 21:26 |
| JC_ | I have tried the various XSERVER=via | XSERVER=vesa, X_MODE_0 | XRANDR_MODE_0 most of these configuration options result in a non-bootable thin client with Fatal Server Error: invalid argument for -config | 21:26 |
| JC_ | This exact setup was working at my office, it only gave this problem when delivered and it's the EXACT same devices the only difference at the client is the networking cables | 21:26 |
| JC_ | All we are trying to achieve is web kiosks, | 21:27 |
| Dayofswords | cppCzar: http://www.noip.com/ sign up for an account, make a domain (you get 5 free subdomains) then follow this to install the client (which just checks your ip every hour or so to see if it changed ) http://www.noip.com/support/knowledgebase/installing-the-linux-dynamic-update-client/ | 21:29 |
| cppCzar | Dayofswords: Do I perform this on the server? | 21:30 |

| ubottu | Mukhthar_Ahmed: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 21:51 |

| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: When doing what? | 21:52 |
| brainpaidd | When he starting :s | 21:53 |
| bekks | brainpaidd: Personally, I do know about three different ways to start a service. | 21:53 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks : copied /usr/share/doc../my-small.cnf /etc/mysql/my.cnf then /etc/init.d/mysql start | 21:53 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: Is mysqld already running? | 21:53 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks: nope | 21:54 |
| brainpaidd | 21:54 | |

| zephyr | So, I'm using testdisk to attempt to recover a couple accidentally deleted partitions. However, the partition I'm most concerned with has been listed a LOT of times, all with different start, end, and size values. Where do I go from here? | 21:56 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks : okay :) | 21:57 |
| bekks | zephyr: Create an image of the disk, and use the image for further investigation. | 21:57 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks : the second command "sudo lsof -i | grep mysql" returns nothing | 21:58 |
| zephyr | bekks, I'm not familiar with imaging a disk, nor do I have the storage space for an exact copy. is dd the tool? | 21:58 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: And whats the output of "lsb_release -a"? | 21:58 |
| bekks | zephyr: Yes. | 21:59 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks : ubuntu 12.04.2 lts | 21:59 |
| bekks | zephyr: Whatever you try - without having an image - may damage your lost partitions even more. | 21:59 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: Please pastebin the exact, full output to a pastebin. | 21:59 |
| zephyr | bekks, unfortunately, at this point, I don't really have other options. | 21:59 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks sure | 22:00 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | clear | 22:00 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: And where's the pastebin url? :) | 22:01 |
| Ari-Yang | is there any advantage of setting diff cpu cores to diff governors? for e.g. setting cpu core 1 to performance and setting core 2 to ondemand | 22:01 |
| bekks | Ari-Yang: No, most likely, your CPU will not allow it. | 22:02 |
| zephyr | bekks, the partitions were deleted by a Windows installer. Meant to clear just one partition but deleted the entire HDD instead. Aborted the installation, didn't format, and rebooted to a live disc. | 22:02 |
| Ari-Yang | ah, okay | 22:02 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks: http://pastebin.com/embed_js.php?i=iHakKx99 | 22:02 |
| Ari-Yang | how do I set the governor in terminal? | 22:02 |
| brainpaidd | I had a website that based in Linux. I really want to know what distro using my server. How to learn this? Thanks very much. | 22:03 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: You could try to start mysqld directly, with your config, to see the errors. | 22:04 |
| bekks | brainpaidd: "lsb_release -a" | 22:04 |

| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: You config contains something that makes it impossible to start with the existing data. | 22:09 |
| zephyr | Loshki, from what one of the commenters mentionecd, the multiple partitions it found may just be remnants of OLD partitions that are long gone. So should I just go through each one, attempt to list the files, until I find the right one to restore? | 22:10 |

| deadweasel | let me grab the other box, will test. | 22:28 |
| Mucap | How do I erase all data on my Hard Disk with Linux Ubuntu | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | thats cute how it prints out a Barcode thing on the console ;) | 22:29 |
| Mucap | Just wipe it completely | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | Mucap, gparted and delete/reformat is one way. | 22:29 |
| Mucap | Dr_willis I didn't think about that, lol | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | or dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXX bs=4M | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | then theres various secure deletion tools.. that are for the truely paranoid. | 22:29 |
| Dr_willis | if its a 'sdd' there may be better ways | 22:30 |
| Mucap | CBA, I just want it erased | 22:30 |
| Mucap | HDD | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | dd will zero it out totally.. but im assumin gyou will want to use it afterwards for some other os? | 22:30 |
| Mucap | Dr_willis yes | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | may as well use gparted then | 22:31 |
| Mucap | Dr_willis wouldn't "sudo rm -rd / --no-preserve-root" work too | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | that will take forever.. | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | you are deleteing the / you are using? | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | thats.. weird.. | 22:31 |
| Mucap | Dr_willis just got told that would work so | 22:31 |

| Dr_willis | whats the END goal here? | 22:32 |
| Mucap | I just need to clean it out, selling my computer and the buyer might as well get a clean HDD | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | a new empty ext4 for a clean install? | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | or you want some other filesystem? | 22:32 |
| bekks | Mucap: Then rm will not help you in any way. It takes about a few minutes to restore your files. | 22:32 |
| bekks | Mucap: Use dd to write zeros to the entire disk. | 22:32 |
| Mucap | Hm | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | you still have to partion/reformat after using dd - to get a useable disk.. | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | unless you are going to leave that to the other guy | 22:33 |
| Mucap | Wow this was way more complicated than imagined | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | its not complex at all... | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | reformat it to the FS and partion layout you want. | 22:34 |
| Mucap | All I wanted to do was erasing my HDD so it wouldn't boot into anything unless a OS was installed | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | the dd from zero will leave a Totally Unallocated Unpartioned unformated HD. | 22:34 |
| Mucap | Which the buyer will know how to do, plug in disk, BIOS or USB something | 22:34 |
| Mucap | how was the dd | 22:34 |
| Dr_willis | you will then have to partion and format it to whatver fs you want to use. | 22:35 |
| Mucap | what was the command again | 22:35 |
| Dr_willis | or dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdXX bs=4M | 22:35 |
| Mucap | many thanks | 22:35 |
| Dr_willis | where is /dev/sda or sdb or sd whatever... | 22:35 |
| Dr_willis | dont get that wrong. or you can erase the wrong drive | 22:35 |
| Dr_willis | gparted live cd. can do all this.. worth having in your pc toolbox. | 22:36 |
| bekks | Mucap: Its no rocket science to find some results "how to restore data after rm" in google ;) Obscurity is no security. | 22:36 |
| Dr_willis | bekks, but changing your ssh port.. is uber secure right? ;P | 22:36 |
| Mucap | might as well use gparted since it's installed | 22:36 |
| bekks | Dr_willis: Yeah, it is :) | 22:36 |
| Mucap | Goodbye Ubuntu, you've been a good friend for a long time <3 | 22:37 |
| Seveas | Dr_willis: you have no idea how many brute force "let's scan the internet" scans that prevents... | 22:37 |

| Dr_willis | Dayofswords, aparently hes trying to destroy the / he is currently booted from.. ;) | 22:41 |
| jrib | deadweasel: and you get logged in without being asked for verification or password? | 22:41 |
| bekks | Mucap: And dont forget to set a reasonable sized bs= parameter, unless you want to wait ages. | 22:41 |

| Dr_willis | Mucap, if you zero the hd. thers nothing to boot.. | 22:42 |
| deadweasel | seems like somethhing important is missing from instructions | 22:42 |
| jrib | deadweasel: and you get logged in without being asked for verification or password? | 22:42 |

| deadweasel | jrib, gotta run for grub (food). brb. | 22:43 |
| jrib | deadweasel: I'm trying to understand what you mean by "ssh localhost does not ask for verification code". What exactly happens when you « ssh localhost »? | 22:43 |
| Mucap | Dr_willis I said that I'm booted on the only HDD connected to my PC with my Linux, and I want to erase everything on that so there's literally nothing to boot into when I turn on my PC | 22:43 |
| Dr_willis | Mucap, so you want to delete the HD you are booted from. correct? | 22:43 |
| Mucap | Dr_willis exactly | 22:44 |
| Dr_willis | Mucap, and the dd command we gave will do that.. it will basically make your os self destruct | 22:44 |
| scott_purcell | a network secured with WPA2 Personal. Nothing was changed on the router. It connects with no problem to my unsecured "guest" network.

| tones | will gparted zero a hard drive? | 22:44 |
| Dr_willis | Mucap, a cleaner way would be to use a live cd.. and dd the disk in question | 22:44 |
| scott_purcell | oops... sorry for the incomplete post... | 22:44 |
| Mucap | Dr_willis then why do people still tell me I should do other ways lol | 22:44 |
| Dr_willis | theres gparted live cd, and the system-rescue cd can have other tools for the same task | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | Mucap, because theres always a dozen ways to do ANYTHING | 22:45 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks : I could make it run but the memory size is 28mb, is it possible to get it use low memory, I read on lowendbox, their mysql is using 5 to 6mb | 22:45 |
| Mucap | Dr_willis once I wrecked it I won't be using the PC anymore so it wouldn't matter | 22:45 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: So how much RAM do you have in your VPS? | 22:45 |
| Dr_willis | that dd command will make the disk unbootable in about 5 sec.. then the rest of the time will be eraseing all the actual data on the drive | 22:45 |
| wicked | is there any ubuntu server channel on freenode you guys know about? | 22:46 |
| scott_purcell | Sometime in the past week, my ubuntu 12.10 laptop stopped connecting to my primary home wifi network (secured with WPA2 personal). | 22:46 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks : 256Mb | 22:46 |
| daftykins | wicked: you can ask away here | 22:46 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: So 10% is too much for mysql? I guess then you have to ask those guys from lowendbox about how they did it to use even less. | 22:46 |
| scott_purcell | Nothing was changed on the router. Other systems still connect to the network I'm having problems with. I can connect to my unsecured guest network -- and to other networks. | 22:47 |
| wicked | daftykins: ok tks, just wonder if it exist or not | 22:47 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks: they have posted their my.cnf file but that does not work, i guess those were mysql 5.1 or so | 22:47 |
| daftykins | wicked: ja #ubuntu-server | 22:48 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks: wat is the optimum memory usage if 10% is higher | 22:48 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: I never even heard of that "lowendbox", so I cant help you any further with htat. | 22:48 |
| wicked | daftykins: tks :) | 22:49 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks never mind abt lowendbox | 22:49 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: The last time I used a server with so little RAM, thats almost a decade ago. | 22:49 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks: as u can recall, wat would be the optimum memory usage if 10% is higher | 22:50 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: The optimum memory usage depends on the amount of data in your database. | 22:50 |
| Mukhthar_Ahmed | bekks : I understand, this is a wordpress site for testing only. traffic equal to zero | 22:51 |
| bekks | Mukhthar_Ahmed: Traffic is irrelevant, amount of data is. | 22:51 |

| Ari-Yang | how do I set cpu governor in terminal? | 23:10 |
| zehexx | dr_willis,ulkesh,thx, i will learn it | 23:10 |
| usr13 | zehexx: 10.04 is EOL | 23:10 |
| soy_el_pulpo | Dr_willis: I will keep and eye open if he shows up to let him know, also he can talk to his isp to open it... | 23:11 |
| ulkesh | zehexx: http://packages.ubuntu.com/lucid/php5-cli | 23:11 |
| zehexx | ulkesh thx, but for this time my connection is low speed fior download, | 23:12 |
| zehexx | *...low speed for download, | 23:12 |

| usr13 | zehexx: Oh, it's 10.04 server? | 23:13 |
| Deet_ | is it possible to install a command line only version of ubuntu via floppy disk to a computer designed for windoze 95? | 23:13 |
| somsip | Deet_: yes - use the minimal install | 23:13 |
| usr13 | Deet_: Probably not | 23:13 |
| Dr_willis | Deet_, move the hd to a differnt pc.. install.. or use a net-boot type install. | 23:14 |
| brewmaster619 | I have a dual-boot (Win8/Ubuntu 13.04). I want to have most of my home directories (user directories in Win) point to the same place. Since Windows has a hard time with ext4, I figured I could put symlinks in my Ubuntu home directory and point to the appropriate one in Windows. It seems to work. But how do I change the symlink icon to match the old icon, for example the Music folder icon? | 23:14 |
| Dr_willis | or install to a usb flash.. boot it.. image it to the real hd. | 23:14 |

| ajidht | hello all | 23:15 |
| usr13 | !10.04 | zehexx | 23:15 |
| ubottu | zehexx: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. | 23:15 |
| Dr_willis | brewmaster619, used to be able to right click on the folder. properties. then the top left Icon image IS A BUTTON you click to change the icon.. it was easy to overlook.. but im not sure if that still works in the latest ubuntu/gnomes | 23:15 |
| brewmaster619 | Deet_: there are distros out that just for that, probably not Ubuntu-derivatives | 23:15 |
| Dr_willis | Deet_, what are the system specs? | 23:16 |
| usr13 | brewmaster619: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/WithFloppies | 23:16 |
| brewmaster619 | still works, but how do you know what the old icon was located? I was smart enough to rename the old Music folder, but clicking the icon doesn't tell you where the current ocon is. | 23:16 |
| Deet_ | Dr_willis: it's a panisonic notebook from waaaaaay back, has 120mb of ram | 23:16 |
| Dr_willis | brewmaster619, try the locate command perhaps? theres dozens of identically named icons depending on the theme for the differnt icons | 23:16 |
| brewmaster619 | It IS easy to overlook, I think it was a couple of years before I knew that was actually a button. | 23:17 |
| usr13 | Deet_: What CPU? What size disk? | 23:17 |
| ajidht | saya dari indonesia | 23:17 |
| Deet_ | Dr_willis: unsure on the harddrive, i haven't booted in a while | 23:17 |
| brewmaster619 | But I can't tell what the old icon was named. | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | Deet_, 120mb? eww.. You might want to look into the puppy linux viarants for very very very low end hardware ;) | 23:17 |
| zehexx | ok,thx | 23:17 |
| BlackDalek | usr13, the machine is an AMD Athlon 64 3700+, 1Gb ram, 500gb disk... but what are minimum system requirements to run Ubuntu 13.04? that is what I am looking for. | 23:17 |
| usr13 | Dr_willis: He said he just wants CLI | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | Deet_, tiny core linux = 35mb also. :) if you just want a ssh/terminal machine | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | puppy can do cli | 23:18 |
| usr13 | BlackDalek: Sky is the limit for you :) | 23:18 |
| Dr_willis | 120mb of ram. is pushing the limits of most things id imagine. | 23:18 |
| Deet_ | Dr_willis: had the decimal in the wrong spot, 12mb of ram, 80486 processor | 23:18 |
| Dr_willis | Deet_, freedos and a serial terminal.. ;P | 23:18 |
| ulkesh | BlackDalek: for server: https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/preparing-to-install.html not sure about desktop yet | 23:19 |
| usr13 | BlackDalek: In other words, take your choice: Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Lubuntu etc. | 23:19 |
| Deet_ | Dr_willis: i think i might just keep it around for the lulz | 23:19 |
| Dr_willis | Deet_, there MIGHT be some disrtos out like puppy that can still work on a 486 | 23:19 |
| brewmaster619 | Deet_: I remember installing Red Hat on cheap 386 40mhz boards back in the day, but then most people had dialup modems then, too. | 23:19 |
| Deet_ | Dr_willis: ok, i might peek around a bit. | 23:19 |
| Deet_ | brewmaster619: this has a dial up modem/ethernet port in a pcmcia card :P | 23:20 |
| brewmaster619 | Yeah, baby.... | 23:20 |
| brewmaster619 | I ran a BBS for 10 years, I know what you're talking about . :) | 23:21 |
| Deet_ | yeah i don't really know why i keep it around. nostalgia i suppose | 23:21 |

| ubuntiv | Hello, I want to connect to my PC using ssh from a remote location using the internet, what IP should I enter when I try to connect? | 23:22 |
| BlackDalek | Does unity on 13.04 have some over-inflated memory requirements to run properly? Should I be having problems with 1Gb ram? I am currently experiencing 50% or higher memory usage with no apps running and 85% to 100% memory usage when Firefox is running... If left running, the machine freezes or crashes with kernel panic. | 23:22 |
| brewmaster619 | On my Icon thing, I think I can find the Music icon, but is there an easier way to figure out at least the current Icon's size, rather than by trial and error? | 23:22 |
| Deet_ | usr13: yeah....i have a 5th of the required ram :P | 23:23 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: We can't tell you what IP to use. | 23:23 |
| ulkesh | Deet_: maybe debian for it? http://www.debian.org/distrib/archive | 23:23 |
| ubuntiv | How can I find the IP i should be using? | 23:23 |
| soy_el_pulpo | UbuBegin | 23:24 |
| ubuntiv | And how is it possible to connect to my PC which has its own local IP in the local network? | 23:24 |
| usr13 | Deet_: You said "120mb of ram" | 23:24 |
| usr13 | Deet_: Was that an error? | 23:24 |
| nelson_ | no | 23:24 |
| soy_el_pulpo | Ubuntiv, try whatismyip.com | 23:24 |
| brewmaster619 | ubuntive: people usually have a dynamic DNS servoce somewhere, so their system sends out a packet to the dns provider every so often, the servoces notes the IP, and you just use your registered dns name (that you pay for) to access your system. | 23:25 |
| usr13 | Deet_: For CLI, you should be fine. | 23:25 |
| nelson_ | after installing lubuntu i only have lines | 23:25 |
| ubuntiv | I mean if my PC is 192.168.0.70 and my External IP is ###.###.100.123 , what should I type as the IP? should I include the local address too? | 23:25 |
| Deet_ | usr13: yes it was, i later corrected that to 12 | 23:25 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: Depends on how your router is set up. (What ports do you have forwarded? | 23:25 |
| nelson_ | someone? | 23:26 |
| ubuntiv | So, I need port forwarding? I never used that thing.. | 23:26 |
| Deet_ | ulkesh: i see the first releases for Debian at on floppy, this might prove interesting | 23:26 |
| brewmaster619 | Your router has to forward a port to your server | 23:26 |
| usr13 | Deet_: 12M RAM? wow. Ok. I think you have a paperwieght on your hands. | 23:26 |
| ubuntiv | Let's say I'd like to host port 20 for SSH | 23:26 |
| Deet_ | usr13: LOL i had besirc running on it until the network card quit | 23:27 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: Then forward port 22 to 20 on that IP | 23:27 |
| ulkesh | Deet_: Debian also used to have a net-install based on booting to a floppy and connecting to the internet...was pretty fun back then :) | 23:27 |
| ubuntiv | why 22?? | 23:27 |
| gordonjcp | ulkesh: installing over NFS | 23:27 |
| brewmaster619 | you enter the IP of the router, when the router sees incoming traffic on that port (like 80) it forwards all of that type of traffic to the internal IP you specify, i.e. your server. | 23:27 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: or forward port 20 to 22 on that IP | 23:27 |
| Deet_ | ulkesh: would it work with a pcmcia nic? | 23:27 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: Well, it's up to you what port you use. (Try one your ISP does not block.) | 23:28 |
| nelson_ | can someone help me | 23:28 |
| nelson_ | ??? | 23:28 |
| ubuntiv | Aha, so ISP blocks IPs.. I can see now.. | 23:28 |
| ulkesh | Deet_: honestly i couldn't tell you, i haven't done that in a good 10-12 years | 23:28 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: (You can tell sshd to listen on a non-standard port if you need to.) | 23:28 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: nmap | 23:28 |
| swex_ | hello all | 23:28 |
| ubuntiv | But what if my IP is shared with others? | 23:28 |
| Deet_ | okay, this outta be fun. i'll be back with it, or when it starts spitting magic smoke | 23:28 |
| Deet_ | thanks guys | 23:28 |
| ulkesh | Deet_: good luck!! | 23:29 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: nmap -p 22 ###.###.100.123 | 23:29 |
| ubuntiv | I mean maybe several costumers share the same IP provided by ISP, isn't that true? | 23:29 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: Yes | 23:29 |
| ubuntiv | So how would I receive traffic that is meant to reach my router, not somebody else's router? | 23:29 |
| brewmaster619 | ubuntiv: your server has it's own IP within your network; it can't be duplicated. from outside everything from your net looks like it came from the router's external IP. | 23:29 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: What do you need to do? (What is your end goal?) | 23:29 |
| brewmaster619 | ubuntiv: No, nobody shaes the IP. | 23:30 |
| ubuntiv | I need to connect to my home PC from Work using SSH. | 23:30 |
| usr13 | brewmaster619: But what he is saying is that [more-than-likely] a lot of his neighbors share that IP. | 23:30 |
| usr13 | brewmaster619: Yes they do. | 23:30 |
| brewmaster619 | Not unless his ISP also uses NAT. | 23:31 |
| usr13 | brewmaster619: many do. | 23:31 |
| ubuntiv | What is NAT? | 23:31 |
| Noskcaj | I'm making a PC Case based on Ubuntu. what colour(s) should i make it | 23:31 |
| ubuntiv | Sorry but I'm a little n00b but interested in learning.. | 23:31 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: network address tranlation / IP Masquerading | 23:31 |
| ubuntiv | Aha, ok usr13 | 23:31 |
| brewmaster619 | what the router uses so your provider hands you one IP, but internally, you have 2 or 100 computers behond your router. | 23:31 |
| ubuntiv | So, in that case, which is more than likely, what should I do to connect to my router not somebody else's router? | 23:32 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_DNS | 23:32 |
| brewmaster619 | each with their own IP internally in your network, but from the outside, they only see the router's external IP; The router has two IPs (at least), the outside-facing one, and the inside facing one. | 23:33 |
| brewmaster619 | good call, usr13 | 23:33 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: You can use a service like http://www.dnsdynamic.org/ | 23:33 |
| ubuntiv | will that mean that I have to put some port-forwarding into the ISPs main router?? | 23:34 |
| brewmaster619 | correction, what I said "they" I meant anyone else outside your network. | 23:34 |
| ubuntiv | is there any free service? | 23:34 |
| ulkesh | ubuntiv: who is your ISP? | 23:34 |
| ubuntiv | Earthlink, Iraq | 23:35 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: Yes | 23:35 |
| ulkesh | ubuntiv: do you have a modem connected to a phone line (i assume phone, given earthlink)? and do you have a router connected to that modem? | 23:35 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: I don't know about Iraq | 23:35 |
| BlackDalek | I found this here - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements but what is listed there as being recommended minimum requirements is not reflected in the experience I am having with a system of double that capacity... IS that page simply wrong? | 23:36 |
| brewmaster619 | most ISPs don't like incoming connections (they charge businesses lots of money for that), but usually don't mind "personal use" connections. | 23:36 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: Do you really need ssh? or can you just use something like teamviewer? | 23:36 |
| ubuntiv | ulkesh: No it is a wireless connection, I have a D-Link wireless router connected to a NanoStation which is connected wirelessly to a transmission station | 23:36 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: o_O | 23:37 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: the two things are not even vaguely similar | 23:37 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: wireless bridge (in other words...) | 23:37 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: Did I say that they were? | 23:37 |
| ubuntiv | usr13: I need to control the deep internals of my system, but what is teamviewer? | 23:37 |
| gordonjcp | teamviewer is for Windows, anyway | 23:37 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: teamviewer is corss platform. | 23:38 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: it is a vnc type app | 23:38 |
| ubuntiv | NO WINDOWS! Sorry but I'm allergic to MS stuff | 23:38 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: never much saw the point in VNC | 23:38 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: me too | 23:38 |
| ubuntiv | I think it IS possible to use VNC for an SSH like control?? | 23:38 |
| brewmaster619 | Teamviewer: For Windows, Mac, Linux, iPhone, iPad and Android. | 23:38 |
| brewmaster619 | per their web site | 23:39 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: so anyway what you need to do is determine how you connect to the Internet | 23:39 |
| erpo | When I restored from backup, I found that I had no icons on my gnome 3.6 desktop and the right-click desktop context menu didn't work. I was able to fix this with the tweak tool, but now I'm concerned that my backup was incomplete. In which file is the "have file manager handle the desktop" preference stored? | 23:39 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: Your choice. | 23:39 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: you've got a wireless link back to some remote site? | 23:39 |
| ubuntiv | gordonjcp: yes, and that is the confusing part | 23:39 |
| brewmaster619 | I've not used it, but what | 23:39 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: okay | 23:40 |
| brewmaster619 | s wrong with VNC? | 23:40 |
| ubuntu22 | can anyone help me to get skype video calling to work in 12.04? My camera works in skype 'options' where i can select the device, it properly displays the camera feed and I can see myself, but I cannot select the 'video button' while in a skype call. | 23:40 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: talk me through it | 23:40 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: He already told us how he connects to the internet. (wireless bridge) | 23:40 |
| ulkesh | ubuntiv: I see, then the only thing I'd suggest, is that if you have an internet address assigned to the wireless router (the external facing IP), then you can port forward with that router (assuming it has port forward capability)...if so, then i suggest port forwarding port external 2222 to internal 22 on the internal IP of the server you want to ssh (i would never open 22, it's security-thru-obscurity that nmap can easily get around | 23:40 |
| ulkesh | , but still)...if it's not an internet-address, then your only hope would be a upnp-based solution which might be what that teamviewer is, and that's assuming upnp is enabled in your router and the router to the outside world | 23:40 |
| ubuntiv | gordonjcp: I don't really understand how I'm actually connected! isn't there an online tracing tool that shows me the entire path through which I'm reaching the internet? | 23:41 |

| gordonjcp | ... Susie the Cat says hi | 23:42 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: What is all that? | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | sorry folks | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: traceroute, maybe? | 23:42 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: cat on keyboard | 23:42 |
| usr13 | ok | 23:42 |
| ubuntiv | welcome, Susie! gordonjcp: how to use traceroute, or what is it anyway?! | 23:43 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: pastebin your PC's IP address, and the output of "traceroute 8.8.4.4" | 23:43 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: All you need to know is your outside IP. See ipchicken.com | 23:43 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: traceroute uses a clever little trick to ping each host on the way to the outside world | 23:44 |
| bity | if you don't have access to the router, you can make a reverse ssh tunnel, if you have access to a public server | 23:44 |
| ubuntiv | what does 8.8.4.4 represent? | 23:44 |
| bity | google dns servers | 23:44 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: google DNS | 23:44 |
| gordonjcp | it's a handy fixed known endpoint | 23:45 |
| bity | 8.8.8.8 is another | 23:45 |
| ubuntiv | I'm now installing traceroute, I'll try it and see what happens | 23:45 |
| BlackDalek | why are the memory requirements for light-weight GUIs such as lxde or xfce claimed to be the same for memory hogs like unity? | 23:45 |
| usr13 | bity: routerS (there are several...) | 23:46 |
| ubuntu22 | can anyone help me to get skype video calling to work in 12.04? My camera works in skype 'options' where i can select the device, it properly displays the camera feed and I can see myself, but I cannot select the 'video button' while in a skype call. | 23:46 |
| bity | i dont think that matters | 23:46 |
| usr13 | ubuntiv: Each bridge and AP is more-than-likey a NAT router. So.... | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | BlackDalek: because "lightweight" is a myth | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: not really, no | 23:46 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: Oh? | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: they *might* be configured that way | 23:46 |
| gordonjcp | they're far more likely to be configured as bridges | 23:47 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: I'm working across a couple of hops of Ubiquiti Nanobridge right now | 23:47 |
| bity | usr13, if you can ssh out to a public server, the reverse path works through the same tunnel, or am i wrong? | 23:47 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: I'm going to PM you a link to an image on my server | 23:47 |
| ubuntiv | after I performed "traceroute 8.8.4.4" I'm now having a list of 15 different IPs , some start with the local 192.168 stuff | 23:47 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: Yes, they more-than-likely are configured that way. | 23:48 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntiv: when you hit it, I'll be able to see your public IP address | 23:48 |
| ulkesh | gordonjcp: he can just get his public ip by going to whatismyip.com the question is, is his wireless router the endpoint terminating that IP | 23:48 |
| ubuntiv | I did, I could see the wrecked car, too :P | 23:48 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: They are more than likely AP mode (if there is more than one connection). | 23:49 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: yup | 23:49 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: Yea, me too. Multiple APs and bridges. | 23:49 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: but in AP mode they are not necessarily doing NAT | 23:49 |
| gordonjcp | http://lovesthepython.org/cluanie-sm.jpg <- here is the link, in case anyone was curious | 23:49 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: Not necessarily but most likely. | 23:50 |
| gordonjcp | lovesthepython.org/cluanie.jpg < Massive 2.5M high-res version | 23:50 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: no, doing NAT makes no sense in that application | 23:50 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: Yes it does, but this is completely off topic. | 23:51 |
| ubuntiv | So, how can I make use of traceroute output? | 23:51 |
| ulkesh | ubuntiv: do you have access to the wireless router config? (web interface ,etc?) | 23:51 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: no, you'd do NAT in your provisioning server | 23:51 |
| gordonjcp | you *could* do NAT in the AP but that's ghetto as all hell | 23:52 |
| ubuntiv | I can access my router, it is right beside me, too :) | 23:52 |
| ulkesh | ubuntiv: then if you can get into the router config, there should be a status page showing the IP address...if it matches what you see on whatismyip.com then you can simply do port forwarding there | 23:52 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: If the sysop wants to, each AP on the network can do NAT, and if he is at all security minded, they all will. | 23:53 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: no no no no no | 23:53 |
| gordonjcp | a million no | 23:53 |
| gordonjcp | absolutely not | 23:53 |
| maxwel-pc | ola | 23:53 |
| gordonjcp | usr13: you've got no way to control provisioning then | 23:53 |
| usr13 | gordonjcp: Ok, I see that you do not see any advantages to it but if you had very many APs on a network, you would. | 23:54 |
| gordonjcp | no, you wouldn't | 23:54 |
| gordonjcp | not unless you basically didn't care about who had access | 23:54 |
| ubuntiv | ulkesh: YES! it is the same IP | 23:54 |
| ubuntiv | So I can simply use the port forwarding and that's it? | 23:55 |
| ulkesh | ubuntiv: then check the port forward settings...then i suggest port forwarding port 2222 (or some other arbitrary upper port ( greater than 1024) to your internal IP of the server you want to ssh to on its port 22 | 23:55 |
| ulkesh | ubuntiv: yes, i believe so | 23:55 |
| ubuntu22 | can anyone help me to get skype video calling to work in 12.04? My camera works in skype 'options' where i can select the device, it properly displays the camera feed and I can see myself, but I cannot select the 'video button' while in a skype call. | 23:55 |
| ulkesh | ubuntiv: then once you port forward, you'll probably want to set up dynamic dns (dyndns.org) and put in a client on your computer or if your router can be configured for it....that way if your IP changes, you can still get to the server via dynamic dns | 23:57 |
