| DeltaHeavy | Hey, I have an Ubuntu VM running on a Windows 7 host. I unplugged my drive containing Virtual Box and my '.vdi' virtual drive file for Ubuntu. Now when I try to log into Ubuntu I get the following error: Failed to load session "ubuntu" And gives me a button that says "Log Out". The whole background is black and the pop up looks unthemed. From that point I"m at the login screen again, and within ~10 seconds, or after logging | 00:06 |

| DeltaHeavy | how to fox this? | 00:06 |

| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: what's the last thing you saw from me? | 00:07 |
| zephyr | Is there a simple way to remove Unity and return to the older Gnome? | 00:07 |
| ubuntivitiy | ulkesh: I asked you about if DNS was necessary, and saw nothing after that | 00:07 |
| DeltaHeavy | zephyr: There's a "GNOME2 Fallback Mode" IIRC, which is what you probably want. | 00:07 |
| 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. Using the newest version btw.. | 00:07 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know how can I reduce the size of many photos in Command line? | 00:07 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: it's not necessary, but it means you'd have to know your IP address (and have a static IP) | 00:07 |
| zephyr | DeltaHeavy, is Gnome no longer being developed? | 00:07 |
| DeltaHeavy | zephyr: It is, in the form of GNOME 3 which is pretty different than GNOME 2. I'm not a fan of it. MATE is a fork of the GNOME 2 project which is still being developed. | 00:08 |
| ubuntivitiy | ulkesh: or even when the IP is not static, I simply have to know what it became and connect to it, right? | 00:08 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: yes, correct | 00:08 |
| zephyr | mojtaba, http://www.howtogeek.com/109369/how-to-quickly-resize-convert-modify-images-from-the-linux-terminal/ | 00:08 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntivitiy: hi | 00:09 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntivitiy: you pinged out | 00:09 |
| zephyr | DeltaHeavy, gotcha, thanks! | 00:09 |
| mojtaba | zephyr: Thanks | 00:09 |
| gordonjcp | ubuntivitiy: so it looks like you just set up port forwarding on your router as normal and you're golden | 00:09 |
| ubuntivitiy | hi, gordonjcp . It appeared for me as if the channel went suddenly silent! | 00:09 |
| ubuntivitiy | That's what I plan to do inshallah.. Wish me luck :) | 00:10 |
| DeltaHeavy | Ugh...why is my Ubuntu dead T_T I need it to work | 00:10 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: there's software for dyndns.org that will auto-update the dns every so often...some routers actually have this built-in to their firmware and can be configured via the web interface as well | 00:10 |
| ubuntivitiy | ulkesh: what should it be called in the router menus? | 00:11 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: what should what be called? (time to be specific :) ) | 00:11 |
| ubuntivitiy | the software feature built-in into router firmware :) | 00:12 |
| DeltaHeavy | Hey, I have an Ubuntu VM running on a Windows 7 host. I unplugged my drive containing Virtual Box and my '.vdi' virtual drive file for Ubuntu. Now when I try to log into Ubuntu I get the following error: Failed to load session "ubuntu" And gives me a button that says "Log Out". The whole background is black and the pop up looks unthemed. From that point I"m at the login screen again, after logging in I get the same error. A | 00:12 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: i would expect you'd see something like "Dynamic DNS" as a menu option...if you don't, you'd simply have to download some software onto a computer in your network and have it run all the time...there is a daemon for linux for dyndns.org as well | 00:12 |
| ubuntivitiy | I feel I'm being thrown away again! | 00:12 |
| DeltaHeavy | ubuntivitiy: I believe the daemon ulkesh is talking about is 'ddclient' | 00:13 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: yeah that sounds familiar (haven't run it in some time) | 00:13 |
| DeltaHeavy | ubuntivitiy: Are you trying to yeild the same results as a static external address? | 00:13 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: well he's trying to get ssh inbound, but i suggested dynamic dns as well to help (once his port forward is done) | 00:13 |
| ubuntivitiy | ulkesh: I remember seeing a "dynamic DNS" in my router, but not sure where to find it :/ | 00:14 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: i'm sorry, i won't know | 00:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | ulkesh: What's the make/model of the router? | 00:14 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: i'd google your router name/type and dynamic dns to see if you can get a screenshot of your web config | 00:14 |
| DeltaHeavy | I've never heard of a router offering dynamic DNS services. | 00:15 |
| ubuntivitiy | just did so, ulkesh , loading a related page :_ | 00:15 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: a dlink something :) don't really know, i was just trying to help him verify his router terminates his internet address so he could at least work on port forwarding for ssh | 00:15 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: my netgear N750 does | 00:15 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: it is just a client, not a service | 00:15 |
| DeltaHeavy | Yeah, before port forwarding SSH I suggest you worry about actually accessing your home network. Gotta do them both so w/e. | 00:16 |
| ubuntivitiy | found it :) | 00:16 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: but it allows you not to have to install it on a machine on the network | 00:16 |
| DeltaHeavy | ulkesh: You still need a server for a client, that's what I'd call a service :p | 00:16 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: well they go hand-in-hand :) | 00:16 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: yes, i told him dyndns.org | 00:16 |
| ubuntivitiy | and it has already an entry for dyndns.org | 00:16 |
| DeltaHeavy | Yeah, I suggest dyndns.org | 00:16 |
| DeltaHeavy | ubuntivitiy: If you need a deamon to update your entry I suggest ddclient. Really easy to install and is configured via TUI. | 00:17 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: sweet, so go to dyndns.org and set up a free account (gives you one hostname i believe), then configure your router | 00:17 |
| comradzilla | trying to get some stuff done on python, but windows is being a bitch | 00:17 |
| comradzilla | about to figure out how to dual boot w/ ubuntu and win7 | 00:17 |
| DeltaHeavy | comradzilla: What's Windows doing? | 00:17 |
| comradzilla | i need to use pip to install pycurl | 00:17 |
| comradzilla | and i need distribute to use pip | 00:18 |
| DeltaHeavy | comradzilla: I suggest a VM for development. A lot easy to manage than 2 native installations IMO. | 00:18 |
| comradzilla | just to run one script | 00:18 |
| comradzilla | vm? virtual manager? | 00:18 |
| comradzilla | i'm green, speak engrish please :) | 00:18 |
| DeltaHeavy | comradzilla: Virtual Machine. I suggest VirtualBox for Windows. | 00:18 |
| comradzilla | okay thank you | 00:19 |
| DeltaHeavy | Hey, I have an Ubuntu VM running on a Windows 7 host. I unplugged my drive containing Virtual Box and my '.vdi' virtual drive file for Ubuntu.

| DeltaHeavy | comradzilla: No problem. | 00:19 |
| daftykins | ulkesh: dyndns stopped doing free sadly. noip is best now | 00:19 |
| ubuntivitiy | I'll put the Dynamic DNS issue away for now, I'll just try to get a successful SSH connection from outside my network, if done successfully, then I can care for the DNS stuff.. Thanks ulkesh , gordonjcp , and everyone else who helped me in this issue | 00:19 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: most welcome, good luck! | 00:19 |
| ulkesh | daftykins: really? dang, i've had an account for at least 10 years so i dunno anymore :) | 00:19 |
| comradzilla | is virtual box free? | 00:20 |
| ulkesh | comradzilla: yes | 00:20 |
| DeltaHeavy | comradzilla: Yes | 00:20 |
| === talueses is now known as _unknown | ||
| ubuntivitiy | Thanks ulkesh , http://www.dnsdynamic.org/ can replace dyndns,org, right? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | ulkesh: yeah they seem to honour existing ones, although i got an email the other day saying they now require monthly login to keep free accounts going =/ not even client updates are enough to keep your account | 00:20 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: don't know, check to see what your router can configure to | 00:20 |
| DeltaHeavy | ubuntivitiy: Looks like their client was made for Windows. | 00:21 |
| ulkesh | daftykins: hmm, well if they're cheap enough i don't mind paying, but it better be like $3/mo/host :) | 00:21 |
| DeltaHeavy | Yeah, dyndns isn't a lot of money to shell out, especially if you're buying annually. | 00:21 |
| daftykins | ^_^ | 00:21 |
| ubuntivitiy | dlinkddns.com is provided on my router | 00:21 |
| comradzilla | VirtualBox 4.2.12 for Windows hosts x86/amd64 <--- that's what i need correct? | 00:21 |
| Aww | So does something like "774897664 bytes (775 MB) copied, 110.046 s, 7.0 MB/s | 00:22 |
| Aww | " mean dd is done copying? | 00:22 |
| DeltaHeavy | ubuntivitiy: I'd say that may be the best route to go | 00:22 |
| ulkesh | DeltaHeavy: cool, thanks | 00:22 |
| DeltaHeavy | Aww: Yep | 00:22 |
| daftykins | Aww: if it returned to the prompt yes | 00:22 |
| DeltaHeavy | ulkesh: np | 00:22 |
| Aww | Okay, it just did thanks :D | 00:22 |
| ulkesh | ubuntivitiy: honestly, conceptually i think you're set, just figure out what's easiest for you for dynamic dns...it really doesn't matter what service it is as long as it's easy for you and works | 00:22 |
| ubuntivitiy | Good, DeltaHeavy . Thanks | 00:22 |
| nogal | hey, i'm having an issue with ubuntu specifically. No other distro seems to have this issue... I set my TTY to run in VGA mode, which works perfectly, but every time I reload X and then drop back to a TTY my vertical resoltion goes bonkers and I've got to run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup again in order to reset the value to show correctly. After dpkg-reconfigure it seems to update initfrms but it isn't persistent. Any ideas? | 00:22 |

| nogal | anyway, i'm still having this issue with my TTY windows where each time I load X it seems to update my console data to use far too much vertical space than my montitor will allow. I can run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup which temporarily alleviates the problem, but every time I load X it screws up again | 00:37 |
| bng | Znoosey: I'm on 13.4, using intel graphics, I have been installing some packages and also installed some nvidia driver by accident (stupid I suppose...), then I uninstalled it again | 00:38 |
| Znoosey | bng, that is the only solution i have found... that or rebooting :/ but as rebooting does that to your computer it might just mess it up more | 00:38 |
| bng | Znoosey: the problem appeared only after I booted up again | 00:39 |
| bng | thanks for the tip Znoosey | 00:39 |

| Dr_willis | see if a new user works. | 01:37 |
| Dr_willis | theres some unity reset command. but forget what it was called | 01:38 |
| python|pi | oh it's not a prob Dr_willis I'm not even surprised at the childishness. I have a soul with girth | 01:38 |
| bng | Dr_willis: nothing with unity in its name is running, and killall compiz just destroyed the decorations again, restarting again | 01:39 |
| zehexx | sir,in ubuntu can we learn about assembly?,and what we use to it? | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | well compiz is what handles the window decoration ;) | 01:39 |
| Dr_willis | zehexx, theres assembly language tools in the repos | 01:39 |
| bng | Dr_willis: well somebody here mentioned killikng it, or maybe it was unity | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | restarting unity may be a better idea ;) if it still takes that argument | 01:40 |
| zehexx | *we use to do it? | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | unity --restart or unity --reset | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | zehexx, the gcc tools can do assembly, and theres more then one assemblyer i recall. | 01:40 |
| Dr_willis | assembly language is rarely used these days :) | 01:41 |
| Dr_willis | http://asm.sourceforge.net/ the Linux Assembly website! | 01:42 |
| zehexx | in repo i have search with keyword assembly but not result. if gcc can do it, so? our processor type its can effect? | 01:44 |
| zehexx | dr_willis thx for link, i will try to check it | 01:44 |
| zehexx | in terminal bash can we check what is our processor type? | 01:50 |
| somsip | zehexx: cat /proc/cpuinfo | 01:50 |
| zehexx | such as x86? | 01:50 |
| syntroPi | how would i add online accounts in gnome shell? i get a window which tells me to enter contact information with a finish and cancel button but nowhere to write my account into???? | 01:53 |

| DeltaHeavy | Hey, I have an Ubuntu VM running on a Windows 7 host. I unplugged my drive containing Virtual Box and my '.vdi' virtual drive file for Ubuntu. Now when I try to log into Ubuntu I get the following error: Failed to load session "ubuntu" And gives me a button that says "Log Out". The whole background is black and the pop up looks unthemed. From that point I"m at the login screen again, after logging in I get the same error. A | 02:07 |
| Gumby | DeltaHeavy: the vdi is now missing/unavailable and you are wondering why you are seeing issues? | 02:08 |
| cristobal | XD | 02:08 |
| DeltaHeavy | Gumby: No, the .vdi is there and Ubuntu boots, but after logging in I get that issue. | 02:08 |
| Gumby | DeltaHeavy: so you plugged the physical drive back in at some point then? | 02:09 |
| Gumby | DeltaHeavy: before starting the Ubuntu VM? | 02:09 |
| DeltaHeavy | Gumby: Yes, I can boot the VM so the .vdi is there. | 02:09 |
| DeltaHeavy | I'm not even sure if this is what caused the problem, as the VM runs, I just can't log into Ubuntu. | 02:09 |
| Gumby | perhaps the /home partition isnt mounting | 02:10 |

| Dr_willis | mojtaba, i always end up having to google for examples | 02:51 |

| Dr_willis | fellayaboy, check the screen man pages? or its startup script feature? there shoul dbe a way | 02:53 |

| Dr_willis | so.. you think --disabled-password will let you auto login? | 02:57 |
| angelazou | dr_willis: I'm following a setup | 02:58 |
| Dr_willis | angelazou, well i dont get what you are trying to do.. | 02:58 |
| angelazou | I have only a blurry idea of what I'm doing, so please | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | --disabled-password | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | Like --disabled-login, but logins are still possible for example | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | through SSH RSA keys, but not using password authentication. | 02:59 |
| angelazou | if you know what is the password, just let me know | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | It dosent let you auto login.. it disables where you can use a password | 02:59 |
| angelazou | well, that makes no sense | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | so you MUST use the keys. | 02:59 |
| angelazou | why does it still prompt password when I do sudo | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | i dont get what you think it should be doing.. it makes sence to me | 02:59 |
| angelazou | what key dr_willis? | 02:59 |
| Dr_willis | the ssh key. | 02:59 |
| angelazou | passphrase for the ssh key? | 03:00 |
| Dr_willis | i imagine you have effectively disabled sudo for that user | 03:00 |
| Chris_W_ | this may be stupidly dumb of me, but once you run 'apt-get update' how do you know what/if any packages are ready for upgrading without running 'apt-get upgrade' ? | 03:00 |
| paul__ | are you trying to disable the user password, or the sudo password? | 03:00 |
| angelazou | like I said, I'm just following this setup http://silas.sewell.org/blog/2011/01/08/setup-gitolite-on-ubuntu/ | 03:00 |
| angelazou | I really don't have a precise idea of what that was | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | so later it wants you to do somthing as git and sudo? | 03:01 |
| harlinggo | ??? | 03:01 |
| Dr_willis | --disabled-password sounds to me like it disables using the normal login: method as that user. | 03:02 |
| Dr_willis | you can only ssh in and auth via allready made keys | 03:02 |

| niocora | jerry_: Buy a full account. | 03:36 |
| brewmaster619 | did you download the jar file? | 03:37 |
| niocora | Install java from the software center. | 03:37 |
| brewmaster619 | yep | 03:37 |
| jerry_ | oh thanks is that all | 03:37 |
| brewmaster619 | don't forget to mark the file as executable | 03:37 |
| regorianer | jerry_: dooooooooont do this, better invest time for programming and do productive stuff :D | 03:37 |
| niocora | Right-Click the file and open with java, not archive opener. | 03:38 |
| niocora | But yeah, mark as executable. | 03:38 |
| * niocora prefers Magic Launcher for HD textures and/or mods. | 03:39 | |
| jerry_ | Can you install mods on it or what i got the jar file and marked it?? | 03:39 |
| Dr_willis | i always start java apps via the cli. or a custom launcher | 03:39 |
| === Jikan is now known as Jikai | ||

| brewmaster619 | I want to learn how to play, I'm away from my family for the next 7 months, and my daughters both play... | 03:41 |
| Hexagonite | is there anything new with the daily build of 13.10? | 03:41 |
| jerry_ | maybe we can set up a server or something | 03:41 |
| somsip | brewmaster619: then download the jar, save it somewhere, and 'java -jar minecreaft.jar' and that will get you started | 03:41 |
| sgo11 | hi, urgent please. ubuntu 12.10. my laptop wireless is working yesterday. Today, when I boot to ubuntu, it shows "hardware disabled". but the wireless led light is on. it's not disabled. can anyone please help? thanks. | 03:42 |
| niocora | Uh-oh. Unity is using nemo/muffin/whatever cinnamon uses as the desktop controller. | 03:42 |
| Dr_willis | Huh? | 03:43 |
| niocora | I installed cinnamon to use while unity took its holiday, but now my right-click menu is cinnamons. | 03:43 |
| jerry_ | does anyone here have cydia on there ipod or iphone | 03:44 |
| brewmaster619 | the 13.10 images, the website says you don't have to "change your computer at all". are they live CDs or what? | 03:45 |
| Dr_willis | the desktop cds are live cds'' yes | 03:45 |
| jerry_ | I removed windows all the way | 03:46 |
| Shubuntu | jerry_: living in a windowless house now? | 03:46 |
| brewmaster619 | ha ha | 03:46 |
| jerry_ | no lmao | 03:47 |
| jerry_ | lol | 03:47 |
| niocora | If I just uninstall al the cinnamon stuff will that fix it? | 03:47 |
| Dr_willis | niocora, we have no idea.. we dont make or support cinnimon | 03:48 |
| Dr_willis | try it and see | 03:48 |
| sgo11 | can anyone help? my wireless is set to hardware disabled in ubuntu 12.10. Aireplane Mode is ON and can not set to off. what's going on here? | 03:48 |
| brewmaster619 | I can't get rid of windows yet, I'm trying to figure out the best way to merge my home folder with my windows folder on my dual boot machine | 03:48 |
| Dr_willis | mount your windows home to some location in your users home directory | 03:49 |
| brewmaster619 | wespee_: edit connections? | 03:49 |
| Dr_willis | or access it via /media/username/somthing | 03:49 |
| jerry_ | yeah thats what i did | 03:49 |
| Connections | O.O | 03:49 |
| brewmaster619 | I wish I could hard-link to ntfs, but I guess symlonks will work too | 03:50 |
| brewmaster619 | symlinks | 03:50 |
| Dr_willis | you can symlink to the mountpoint | 03:50 |
| brewmaster619 | it would cut down on redundant files, and havin g to reboot beasue you left something under that other operating system | 03:51 |
| Shubuntu | sgo11: did you try turning your wifi on and off physically? | 03:51 |
| Shubuntu | brewmaster619: never leave files on os dependent places | 03:51 |
| sgo11 | Shubuntu, I tried. but physically is just FN+KeyboardKey. I don't think it's working in ubuntu. I tried that. the wireless light is always on. never off. | 03:52 |
| Shubuntu | brewmaster619: as a rule of thumb, always separate data from os files as much as possible | 03:52 |
| sgo11 | Shubuntu, I also tired sudo rfkill unblock all. it doesn't work. it seems that fixes some laptop's problem. it just happens suddently. | 03:52 |
| brewmaster619 | I got one symlink working fine, as a test, though I want to make the icon the same as it wouldn't have been if it wasn't a symlink (the Music directory) | 03:52 |
| Shubuntu | sgo11: do sudo htop in your terminal and see what's running that relates to your wifi | 03:53 |
| brewmaster619 | easy in linux, not so easy in windoze :) | 03:53 |
| sgo11 | Shubuntu, running htop. but how to check which one is related to my wifi? thanks. | 03:53 |
| Shubuntu | brewmaster619: read what i said | 03:53 |
| Shubuntu | sgo11: F4, and then check keywords, like wifi, interface, network, ... | 03:54 |
| sgo11 | Shubuntu, I can only see two "NetworkManager" is running by root. one is PID 915 and another one is PID 926. nothing else. | 03:55 |
| Shubuntu | sgo11: try bringing your network manager up from the right corner of your horizontal tray then | 03:56 |
| Shubuntu | see if you can turn your wifi on | 03:57 |
| sgo11 | Shubuntu, that way I tried many times. does not work. Airplan mode is on. Can not switch to OFF. Wireless can not switch to ON. | 03:57 |
| sgo11 | Shubuntu, sudo rfkill list all shows "soft blocked: no. hard blocked: yes". but my wireless light is on. | 03:58 |
| Dr_willis | if theres windows on that machine at all.. try booting to windows and turn on wireless there. then reboot back to linux | 03:58 |
| Shubuntu | ok go to start >> settings >> system settings | 03:59 |
| XHEART24 | Hi everyone. If I have Ubuntu 12.04 (which works great!) why I can not upgrade to 13.04? what is needed to do the upgrade? | 03:59 |

| somsip | mike00: IIRC it depends on what WM you want to run. Does anything here help you? http://is.gd/g5f5CO | 05:21 |
| mike00 | somsip: i was on that page, i just dont understand fully what its saying to do in regards for my problem =( | 05:23 |

| === Jikan is now known as Jikai | ||
| mike00 | matchbox-window-manager | 05:23 |

| mike00 | yeah. matchbox-window-manager & | 05:26 |
| mike00 | works in ubuntu server | 05:26 |
| somsip | mike00: do you have any other WMs installed on the desktop? | 05:26 |
| mike00 | on my desktop.. its a desktop | 05:27 |
| mike00 | so yeah the default | 05:27 |
| somsip | mike00: that doesn't answer the question. A server usually has no WM installed, so the xsession will get run if plain old xserver is install. A desktop usually has a default WM | 05:27 |
| dirk__ | i'm having a problem when i boot up ubuntu... can some one take a look and tell me if they know whats going on http://imagebin.org/260038 | 05:27 |
| mike00 | which are you referring to? | 05:28 |
| mike00 | on the server, no. on the desktop yes. | 05:28 |
| somsip | mike00: what WM is on the desktop now | 05:28 |
| mike00 | whatever default is | 05:28 |
| liungkejin | #bash | 05:29 |
| somsip | mike00: how did you install matchbox wm? | 05:29 |
| mike00 | just with apt-get install | 05:30 |
| somsip | mike00: when you first try to log into the desktop, can you choose the default session from some dropdown menu? | 05:30 |
| mike00 | no | 05:30 |
| mike00 | not sure what you are asking. | 05:31 |
| mike00 | everything works as default, my .xessions is pretty much ignored. | 05:31 |
| somsip | mike00: I don't use a standard GUI so I may not be able to help. IIRC you need to change the login to 'password required' if it is not already set like that. That will make a login screen show when you boot, and first go into X. Then you can choose which WM to run. And you'd choose matchbox. But I'm really not sure here so you may need other help | 05:32 |

| Dr_willis | normally in the current working directory i thought quick- . | 05:44 |
| Dr_willis | its possible coredumps are disabled also. i cant recall seeing one in ages on ubuntu. | 05:45 |
| mike00 | somsip: booting into text mode, fixes it all and make it work =D | 05:46 |
| quick- | Dr_willis: It's not there in the current working directory. How can i enable it if you remember ? :) | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | quick-, no idea. askubuntu.com may know | 05:46 |
| quick- | Dr_willis: Thank you for the headsup. I ll check :) | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | if they are disabled.. i cant recall ever seeing anything that coredumped/segfaulted making one in ubuntu.. that i ca | 05:46 |
| Dr_willis | that i can recall in a loooong time | 05:47 |
| Dr_willis | matchbox made a entry in the Login screen session manager list here mike00 | 05:48 |
| somsip | Dr_willis: just checking - so what I said about needing to enable 'Login required' and chose matchbox WM from the session dropdown was basically correct? | 05:50 |
| Dr_willis | You select it at the login screen correct. | 05:50 |
| Dr_willis | or just Logout.. and select matchbox. ;) | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | let me just say that.. well.. matchbox - is not very useable it seems :) | 05:51 |
| somsip | Dr_willis: k - long time since I've used gdm and never seen lightdm. Not sure why the user didn't have a dropdown for the session though... | 05:51 |
| mike00 | its only used to launch a browser window, its not a usable desktop. | 05:51 |
| Dr_willis | it runs. it runs apps.. but i sure cant say its very functional | 05:51 |

| somsip | mike00: yeah - you're doing a kiosk thing? | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | matchbox was supposed to be a embeded device desktop ages ago. | 05:52 |
| mike00 | Dr_willis: id idnt know where was a place to select window manager, but i needed it to autologin anyways. | 05:52 |
| mike00 | somsip: yes. | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | once you select the desktop on the login screen it rembers | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | or you edit the .dmrc file | 05:52 |
| somsip | mike00: Dr_willis is more up to date than me on how the login works now, so I'll leave you with him | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | which is what lightdm reads/saves | 05:52 |
| mike00 | whats different between lightdm and nodm? | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | if you need a tiny window manager for a koisk. you may want to use jwm. | 05:52 |
| Dr_willis | !info nodm | 05:53 |
| ubottu | nodm (source: nodm): automatic display manager. In component universe, is extra. Version 0.11-1.3ubuntu1 (raring), package size 31 kB, installed size 123 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 05:53 |
| Dr_willis | never used nodm. so no idea | 05:53 |
| mike00 | im using that to autologin. :: shrug :: | 05:53 |
| Dr_willis | lightdm is the default login session manager. theres a little gear/icon next to the users name to select the session | 05:53 |
| Dr_willis | I definatly recall there being some Koisk-focused disrtos out there that did most all the work for you. ;) | 05:54 |
| energizer | Im new to all this, and I'm trying to figure out how to interpret the readings from the System Load Indicator bar. It's got all these various readings and i dont know what they mean. | 05:54 |

| NikTh | Any way to upload a pdf document on Launchpad PPA ? It is a magazine and we want to share via PPA because Ubuntu Software Center has a problem right now. Will not accept any pdf documents (I don't know why). | 06:15 |
| mchl_ | You could try ubuntu then install different desktop environments | 06:15 |
| cfhowlett | Serelijah, exactly. remember that it will run slower in this settings, however. | 06:15 |
| cfhowlett | NikTh, not sure pdf can load to LP but you certainly put your doc in Ubuntu One and then place a link | 06:15 |
| Dr_Willis | zip it? ;) | 06:16 |
| Galraith | hey guys we have ubuntu 12.04 installed, we are using vsfptd and we can log in read, pull off the server and copy but we are unable to write. we diddnt have access before we commented out "chroot_local_user = yes" is their somehow we have to set the write permissions to be able to do this? anyone know what we are missing? | 06:16 |
| NikTh | cfhowlett: It would be better if the user has a PPA enabled in his/her system and receive all updates through USC . We have already a page , and we already upload the magazine to USC(3 times) but know.. it has a problem - something (the USC I mean). | 06:17 |
| NikTh | Dr_Willis: zip it ? (this was for my question ? sorry I didn't understood ) | 06:19 |
| NikTh | LP accept only source code.. etc (change.sources files.. etc). I searched the Web for Laucnhpad and another format like .pdf , but to no avail. Do not search the Web for an answer, I have already done that :) | 06:20 |
| Dr_Willis | if it dosent like a pdf file.. zip the pdf and see if it likes that. | 06:21 |
| NikTh | But I cannot understand why the message of the fail (to upload to USC directly) included something like "....use a PPA..." | 06:22 |
| Dr_Willis | wonder if it likes .tex or other type docs | 06:22 |
| Serelijah | What's the quickest/most common way to accidentally destroy a PC with command line? | 06:22 |
| Corey | Serelijah: Uhhh.... | 06:23 |
| NikTh | Dr_Willis: do you know the way to upload another format execpt of the source.changes file ? I know only the dput command and source.changes file.. | 06:23 |
| Corey | Serelijah: Depends upon how willfully stupid the user is being? | 06:24 |
| NikTh | Serelijah: Several commands exist for such "job". | 06:24 |
| Corey | I'd argue dd is up there, as is rm. | 06:24 |
| Corey | Serelijah: But can you define "destroy" a bit better? We talking physical damage? | 06:25 |
| Corey | If so, the old school X configuration would do it. | 06:25 |
| histo | Serelijah: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/of/hard/drive | 06:25 |
| NikTh | Yeah..yeah.. command line power-users... :P | 06:26 |
| Serelijah | I'm talking "manage to screw up with only a few commands to destroy everything that's *on* the hard drive" | 06:26 |
| Corey | Serelijah: dd or rm, then. | 06:26 |
| Corey | histo: /dev/zero beats /dev/random in your example. | 06:27 |
| NikTh | Search the Web Serelijah.. place the apppropriate key words on google and your "friend" will find an answer for you :) | 06:27 |
| Corey | histo: It's orders of magnitude faster. | 06:27 |
| Serelijah | what did dd do again? | 06:27 |
| cfhowlett | Serelijah, if you have a virtualbox, just restore to an earlier, working point. | 06:27 |
| Corey | Serelijah: block level copying. | 06:27 |
| NikTh | !dd | 06:27 |
| histo | Corey: I would disagree with you that it's orders of magnitude faster. The write speed of the drive is going to be the slow down in the situation. I would also use a block size higher than the default of 512 | 06:28 |
| histo | Serelijah: dd writes data to block devices. | 06:28 |
| Corey | histo: I just ran a test. It's ~10x bigger from /dev/zero than /dev/random. :-) | 06:29 |
| histo | Corey: what's 10x bigger? | 06:29 |
| Corey | histo: In ten seconds, /dev/random spat out 100MB of data, /dev/zero spat out 1.7GB | 06:30 |
| Corey | Same machine, same load profile, run sequentially. | 06:30 |
| Mathias | /dev/urandom <3 | 06:30 |
| Corey | So I'm off, apparently in this case /dev/zero is 17x faster. :-) | 06:30 |
| Dr_Willis | so start 10 dd sessions from /dev/random! :) | 06:30 |
| histo | Well eitherway will accomplish the same distruction | 06:30 |
| Corey | Mathias: Sorry, this was /dev/urandom. :-) | 06:31 |
| histo | s/distruction/destruction/ | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | is /dev/urandom faster or slower? ;) | 06:31 |
| Corey | histo: Point is, "spitting out 0's" is a lot faster than random number generation. | 06:31 |
| histo | Corey: spitting out 0's vs. random is not the bottleneck in the issue. | 06:32 |
| Corey | histo: What do you propose is the cause of this discrepency, then? | 06:32 |
| histo | Corey: What are you outputting to? | 06:32 |
| samuraibsd | Has anyone successfully gotten a wiimote to pair with VBA? | 06:32 |
| Corey | histo: In this case, "cat /dev/(urandom|zero) > file" | 06:33 |
| Corey | histo: Forgive me for not wanting to play with dd at this hour. :-) | 06:33 |
| Corey | histo: But try it yourself and see. I'd be curious / surprised if you couldn't replicate my results. | 06:34 |
| Corey | histo: I'm going to bed now, feel free to PM me. :-) | 06:35 |
| anonymous | anyone know a good reference guide to help me with cli commands? | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | tons of them online anonymous | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | look for the Oreially 'useing bash' book if you can find it | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | !cli | 06:40 |
| anonymous | thought i would ask if anyone had any good recommendations. :p | 06:40 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 06:40 |
| Dr_Willis | look at delicious.com see what gets the most votes/tags ;) | 06:40 |
| anonymous | thanks :D | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | and read read read... | 06:41 |
| anonymous | will do :D cheers (y) | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | that Oreially books are most likely the top guides for learning bash. | 06:41 |
| samuraibsd | Best advice I can give: Don't use one. Just spend tons of time in the terminal and Google it when you need to do something you don't know how to. Fastest way to learn, IMO | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | and they got tons of others | 06:41 |
| Dr_Willis | dont just google specific commands.. read that book.. learn the underlaying prinicples.. then the actual commands will come to you as you use them, ;P | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | amazing how much bash 'fundamentals' are easy to overlook. | 06:42 |
| anonymous | yeah i got real confused with the apt-get install. i just used sofware center. | 06:42 |
| Dr_Willis | command -option argument | 06:43 |
| samuraibsd | apt-get should be low on your list of stuff | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | rathe stright forward. ;) | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | apt-get install gamename | 06:43 |
| Dr_Willis | is about as simple as it gets. other then 'ls' and 'cd' ;P | 06:43 |
| samuraibsd | I remember Rochester.edu having one somewhere...I remember it being quite good | 06:44 |
| samuraibsd | (A guide, that is) | 06:44 |
| anonymous | those i understand from using those in windows. | 06:44 |
| histo | anonymous: what's confusing about apt-get install somepackage | 06:44 |
| Dr_Willis | a lot of colleges and i recall Intels (or was it ibms) site having some decent docs also at one time | 06:44 |
| samuraibsd | histo: For one, finding out what the package is actually called | 06:45 |
| anonymous | :p | 06:45 |
| samuraibsd | Dr_Willis: It was IBM, I believe | 06:45 |
| histo | samuraibsd: anonymous apt-cache search something | 06:45 |
| samuraibsd | I wonder if that's still up... | 06:45 |
| anonymous | i was trying to do it for java and eclipse | 06:45 |
| samuraibsd | histo: I meant for a newbie. It's not the most obvious thing unless you either Google it or use man pages (Does apt-get even have a man page?) | 06:45 |
| anonymous | histo: with my knowledge of linux i wouldnt of even known that command.. | 06:46 |
| phil00 | I upgraded Ubuntu 12.04 to 13.04 (Now a Kubuntu install, I don't know why..) and some resolutions are not available for my intel hd 2000 graphics. The resolution I used to be with on 12.04 is no longer available. Someone that could help me with this plz? | 06:46 |
| Mathias | samuraibsd: apt-get has multiple man-pages iirc | 06:46 |
| samuraibsd | Mathias: I wouldn't know. I've never actually bothered looking at them. But man pages are overlooked far too often. | 06:47 |
| samuraibsd | I figured out most of the term stuff before I actually knew what man pages were :P | 06:47 |
| anonymous | man pages - manual pages? | 06:47 |
| samuraibsd | Yup. In terminal, just type "man <program>" (without the punctuation) | 06:48 |
| somsip | anonymous: yes - try 'man man' | 06:48 |
| Mathias | man date :P | 06:48 |
| samuraibsd | haha | 06:48 |
| samuraibsd | try man woman | 06:48 |
| anonymous | example: man java | 06:48 |
| anonymous | ? | 06:48 |
| histo | phil00: are you booting with nomodeset? | 06:48 |
| samuraibsd | No manual entry for woman | 06:48 |
| samuraibsd | Darn. | 06:49 |
| histo | anonymous: apt-cache search java && apt-cache search eclipse | 06:49 |
| samuraibsd | But seriously, nobody in here has gotten (or knows how to get) a wiimote working? I got it to show up with wmgui, but I can't make my emulator actually see it. | 06:50 |
| phil00 | histo: no idea | 06:50 |
| histo | samuraibsd: does the emulator support that type of input? | 06:50 |
| anonymous | histo: i've done it now, but those were things i had trouble with. | 06:50 |
| histo | phil00: grep nomodeset /etc/default/grub | 06:50 |
| phil00 | okay, just a sec | 06:51 |
| samuraibsd | Not sure. It seems to on Windows, but the Linux version seems to be missing a number of features, and it's been difficult to find out which ones | 06:51 |
| samuraibsd | That was to histo, forgot to tab | 06:51 |
| phil00 | it's not returning a thing | 06:51 |
| histo | samuraibsd: Have you tried looking for support from that app specifically? Since you've confirmed it works with other apps? | 06:51 |
| histo | phil00: okay then you aren't. Does xrandr show higher resolutions available? | 06:52 |
| samuraibsd | histo: Used all my Google-fu on this one and haven't been able to find much. There's instructions for using the acc/gyro to control the mouse, and there's some stuff about IR support, but I'm only interested in the buttons, and nobody seems to care about that bit. | 06:52 |
| marvx | hi all | 06:52 |

| marvx | i have problem that i got sound in system and flash but not in games like eg. motorbike | 06:53 |
| phil00 | histo: it shows the same resolutions I can access from the display dialog, and yes I have higher resolutions than that which I want | 06:53 |
| phil00 | 1680x1050 1440x900, but I'm missing 1280x768 for example | 06:54 |
| histo | phil00: does your monitor support those resolutions? | 06:54 |
| mike00 | anyone suggest a lightweight browser besides Chromium? | 06:54 |
| phil00 | yes, I used those before upgrading from 12.04 (to 13.04) | 06:54 |
| phil00 | and it's the one I use on Windows | 06:54 |
| samuraibsd | histo: Yeah, but it just keeps directing me to WiiCan, which seems to be abandoned | 06:54 |

| connectind1 | i want one of those windows firewall block alert | 07:44 |
| connectind1 | why ubuntu doesn't come with such app | 07:44 |
| hd5770 | man cant get this to boot on my pc | 07:44 |
| somsip | connectind1: you're using a desktop computer and you want something to popup if anyone tries to access your computer over the internet? | 07:44 |
| salah | Hi, any tips why Ubuntu uses like 10 seconds to turn on screens? 10 secs after touching a button/mouse, the first monitor turns on. After 5 more seconds, monitor 2 turns on. Any ideas? | 07:45 |
| somsip | salah: is it different with other OSes? | 07:45 |
| connectind1 | yessss | 07:45 |
| salah | somsip, yes, Windows (or even Arch Linux) uses like 1-2 seconds | 07:45 |
| samuraibsd | Hah! | 07:45 |
| samuraibsd | Got it working | 07:45 |
| samuraibsd | Although it's a bit more involved than I wish it were | 07:46 |
| somsip | connectind1: try this - not sure if it will suit your needs though http://gufw.org/ | 07:46 |
| connectind1 | who else in here got such notification system installed | 07:46 |
| somsip | salah: nah - no real idea. My decent monitor takes 1-2 secs and my cheap one take 3-5, so just thought i'd ask the obvious question | 07:46 |
| Laiquendi | connectind1: I have GUFW and you can somehow enable it to alert you | 07:47 |
| histo | salah: is the computer hibernating or sleeping? | 07:47 |
| connectind1 | Laiquendi , how to do that? | 07:47 |

| tozen | connectind1: which system? | 07:47 |
| salah | histo, nothing of these, just locking the screen because of the security rules here | 07:47 |

| intok | masuran what on earth is causing my laptop to be able to hold a connection with the router both via ethernet jack or wifi, but constantly not be able to move any data at all. the desktop system connected via ethernet to the same router has no problem with maintaining a connection at full speed. there is nothing on the router eating up any of the bandwidth. | 08:02 |
| masuran | intok: What do you mean "not be able to move any data at all". Can't reach any websites, can't get mail? .... | 08:03 |
| histo | intok: dns issues? | 08:03 |
| intok | masuran connections even to the update servers via synaptic time out from the laptop via either connection type, but the desktop connects fine at full speed. | 08:03 |
| histo | intok: try ping google.com vs. doing a ping 8.8.8.8 | 08:03 |
| Connections | O.O | 08:03 |
| connectind1 | somsip , nothing appear after followed the instruction | 08:03 |
| somsip | connectind1: have you experienced an event that should show the popup? | 08:04 |

| masuran | intok: Do you have the same issue with wireless and wire? Did you try only one of the two and not both at the same time? | 08:06 |
| intok | masuran yeah, I've tried both individually and both at the same time/ pings to 8.8.8.8 are actually stable in the low 302s, but I was able to get it to pull 700Mb of files from the repos before it conked out before | 08:09 |

| vitimiti | hi o/ | 08:11 |
| freddofrog | I've been trying to get a copy of 12.04.2 installed as a paravirt domU under xen but it keeps crashing... I've been doing a bit of googling and also some experiments with other distros (13.04 and centos 6.x) and it seems that there is a problem with the particular kernel and ramdisk for 12.04.2 ... has anyone else had this problem? if so did you fix it and how? | 08:11 |
| intok | masuran histoand now it dies, left ping going while I connected to a fairly heavy site imgur, since I can keep poking the connection by hitting page down | 08:11 |
| intok | histo * | 08:11 |
| auronandace | aladdin: what are you trying to do? | 08:12 |
| intok | pings to 8.8.8.8 are now intermittent sometimes unable to connect sometimes in the low 30's sometimes in the mid 650's... | 08:13 |
| aladdin | auronandace, I don't where I am going with Ubuntu, but they say programming is a lot easier on Linux than on any other os. So my plan was to finish off learning python and maybe some other web prog. language and get a job. | 08:14 |
| auronandace | aladdin: plenty of help in #python | 08:14 |
| aladdin | auronandace, great idea. I should prob learn to narrow down my speciality to python :). cheers cheers cheers! | 08:16 |
| histo | intok: and you are sure this behavior does not happen on other boxes on the network? | 08:17 |
| intok | histo I'm able to talk you you aren't I? This box is connected to the same router, the ping test was done on the laptop via ethernet with the wireless disabled | 08:18 |

| palasso | Hi, I have a Windows 7 and an Ubuntu 13.04 and I'd like the ubuntu machine to share the desktop (remote desktop over the internet) to windows 7 (ubuntu as the server, windows as the client). I managed to do that with VNC as showed here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GY75u6TthH4 It's working great but I can't share the sound. Is there a way to share the sound from the ubuntu machine to the windows machine? | 08:44 |
| === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler | ||
| somsip | palasso: found a surprising hack for this ;-) "If you plug an 3.5 mm aux cable into the microphone and headphone jacks then leave skype calling in the background and view the computer over VNC you will have audio." | 08:47 |
| somsip | palasso: and a possible real solution though not sure how this fits with VNC http://is.gd/wX9s1l | 08:48 |
| palasso | somsip, or if I can change the skype settings on skype to use as mic the sound instead of searching for a cable... thnx for the tip somsip :) Though I'd be interested to a solution used on desktop sharing (maybe it'd work better) | 08:49 |
| palasso | the second solution you're suggesting prolly wouldn't work because the client is windows and I don't think it is compatible with PulseAudio functionalities... | 08:50 |
| somsip | palasso: yeah, I realised that after but there is a chance you could find something Pulse related for Windows. | 08:51 |
| palasso | somsip, I just read the second answer and they point to wikipedia on a comparison article (which I already checked out) which supposedly has a VNC client with sound support... But I didn't find any :P | 08:52 |
| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| somsip | palasso: yup - dead ends on all searches I do, including the official VNCServer page saying a responding 'no'. there are forks, but I'm finding nothing that supports this, except alternative protocals (Pulse) and OSX | 08:55 |
| somsip | *forks of VNC | 08:56 |
| palasso | I was thinking to use RDP instead of VNC but I don't know if it'd work well... (I've found clients that support RDP and sound) | 08:56 |

| johnm | mhr: It's likely under a "bash" process since you're using bash builtins. It'll of course be owned by you, it'll probably be the one with the highest time on CPU as well. | 09:27 |

| mhr | johnm, how can I check exactly that its the exact process as its still creating the directories | 09:31 |
| johnm | mhr: unless you're capable of catching the process specifically as it writes the directory, you need to identify it based on owner, process name and process time. It should be reasonably easy to spot given I suspect you have very few bash processes running that are owned by the user you logged in as. Unless of course thats root, and you run everything as shell jobs ;) | 09:33 |

| ThinkT510 | sagar: 10.04 is only supported on server now | 11:08 |
| VictorCL | bekks how do I reload the service? | 11:08 |
| sagar | Yes, 10.04.4 LTS is supported on Server. But, 10.04 LTS is not supported in DELL R720 by default | 11:09 |
| bekks | VictorCL: service name reload | 11:09 |
| ThinkT510 | sagar: you need to give the specs for us to have any idea | 11:10 |

| ubottu | 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 ..." | 11:12 |
| sagar | bekks : We are using 10.04 LTS in our production environment with some applications compiled to run on that. So, migrating directly to 12.04 is not possible as of now. | 11:12 |
| Ben64 | stuff that runs on 10.04 will likely work on 12.04 | 11:13 |
| ThinkT510 | sagar: well running 10.04 with a 3.0 kernel isn't supported | 11:13 |
| bekks | sagar: Then you will be setting up the first production server with 12.04 :) | 11:13 |
| daya | ThinkT510: We can install 3.0 kernel in 10.04 isn't it? | 11:13 |
| bekks | daya: There is no 3.x kernel for 10.04 in the repos. | 11:14 |
| ThinkT510 | daya: you can but there wouldn't be much point in using an lts with an unsupported kernel | 11:14 |
| daya | ThinkT510: hmm, sagar, ? | 11:14 |
| ThinkT510 | daya: you'd have to completely maintain the kernel yourself | 11:14 |
| sagar | bekks : I will for sure do with 12.04 in future. But, I will need to take care of running production Systems. I am in need of 10.04 existing environment to work with DELL R720. | 11:14 |
| === Shubuntu_ is now known as Shubuntu | ||
| bekks | sagar: If you need a 3.x kernel for doing so - it isnt supported. | 11:15 |
| Ben64 | sagar: sounds like its time to upgrade | 11:15 |
| sagar | ThinkT510 : I followed this link http://devops.rackspace.com/using-a-custom-kernel-with-cloud-servers.html | 11:15 |
| sagar | It says yes | 11:15 |
| === Shubuntu is now known as Guest84921 | ||
| bekks | sagar: It is possible, but not supported. | 11:15 |
| sagar | But, only netboot_iso i.e online installation is possible | 11:15 |
| Ben64 | it'd also be much easier to just install 12.04 | 11:16 |
| jrib | bekks: there is a 3.0 kernel from oneiric (linux-image-generic-lts-backport-oneiric), but I agree sagar should just use 12.04 | 11:16 |
| sagar | bekks : hmm... I thought with the cloud work on that part. It is supported. :( | 11:16 |

| daya | ThinkT510: there might be some way on creating 10.04 iso using 3.0 kernel, though its not supported, am i right? | 11:17 |
| bekks | daya: Yes. | 11:17 |
| ThinkT510 | daya: yes | 11:17 |
| sagar | bekks : So, you mean. I have no options for 10.04 LTS to support DEll R720. | 11:17 |
| ThinkT510 | daya: why you would do that for a production system is beyond me | 11:18 |
| Ben64 | 10.04 is over 3 years old. why not upgrade? | 11:18 |
| bekks | sagar: Correct. If you want your production environment to be supported by Ubuntu, use 12.04. | 11:18 |
| bekks | Ben64: Because its receiving updates until 2015. | 11:18 |
| jrib | sagar: I think what we are telling you is that your *best* option is to use 12.04. You can certainly work something out to stick with 10.04 but it will likely be harder and cause you more headaches | 11:18 |
| bekks | But yes, time to upgrade to 12.04 now. | 11:18 |
| Ben64 | bekks: doesn't mean it should be used | 11:18 |
| bekks | Ben64: Not necessarily. | 11:19 |
| Ben64 | why anyone would install 10.04 now is beyond me | 11:19 |
| bekks | Ben64: Because it is still supported. | 11:19 |
| ironhalik | Hello | 11:19 |
| Ben64 | bekks: read what i said again | 11:19 |
| bekks | Ben64: Same for you. | 11:20 |
| histo | bekks: 12.04 is LTS also | 11:20 |
| Ben64 | a fresh install, there is no reason to use 10.04 | 11:20 |
| bekks | histo: I know. And 10.04 is LTS also. | 11:20 |
| bekks | Ben64: Do you know his environment? How can you tell "there is no need to"? | 11:20 |
| sagar | jrib : Agreed, time is the only constraint. And, the sad part was I started with rackspace link and said yes it can be done :( | 11:20 |
| Ben64 | bekks: because there is no need to | 11:20 |
| jrib | sagar: are you sure that there are issues running your software on 12.04? | 11:21 |
| histo | sagar: what is the problem you are experiencing? | 11:21 |
| sagar | Now, I have already invited headaches on that part | 11:21 |
| ironhalik | I've just installed my new Nvidia card, and installed nvidia-313-updates package for it. lightdm starts, guest account works ok, but on my account, there's no unity panels or dash (there are windows secorations - title bar, taskbar on terminal etc). Any advice? | 11:21 |
| bekks | Ben64: Its pointless to discuss with people like you who only take care of having the latest version. | 11:21 |
| Ben64 | bekks: you just seem to like arguing about dumb stuff | 11:21 |
| jrib | let's calm down, I'm not even sure what you guys are arguing about | 11:21 |
| histo | ironhalik: fix your account settings or resolution possibly? | 11:21 |
| daya | jrib: sagar has build his product using 10.04, and runs in it smoothly, have a larger dependency and library problem in 12.04, | 11:21 |
| ThinkT510 | bekks: lts releases overlap so you have a little time to transition to the next one | 11:21 |
| bekks | Ben64: I dont like to argue, I dont like to discuss with you. EOD. | 11:22 |
| bekks | ThinkT510: Yeah, about three years time. | 11:22 |
| sagar | jrib : No, we are in process of doing that within few months of time. But, we have an immediate requirement to do that for DELL R720 Support which requires updated kernel as pointed by rackspace. | 11:22 |
| ironhalik | histo: Yeah, probably, but I have no idea where to start | 11:22 |
| * ActionParsnip points out Wikipedia use Lucid server :) | 11:23 | |
| ironhalik | what was the command to reset unity settings (I use ccsm for some custom stuff) | 11:23 |
| ThinkT510 | sagar: if you do that then you just simply cannot get support here | 11:23 |
| sagar | histo : problem is I will need to integrate 10.04 libraries and our applications which runs well with 10.04 LTS to run with new kernel 3.0. | 11:23 |
| histo | sagar: have you checked in backports? | 11:23 |
| histo | !backports | sagar | 11:23 |
| ubottu | sagar: If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 11:23 |
| ThinkT510 | sagar: your requirements don't change the rules of this channel | 11:23 |
| histo | sagar: I believe the kernel team also has a ppa | 11:23 |
| jrib | sagar: so why don't you follow the rackspace instructions and deal with them? Just keep in mind you should be making the transition to 12.04 as soon as you can. If you can get an install, there is a 3.0 kernel in the repos provided by the linux-image-server-lts-backport-oneiric package | 11:23 |
| sagar | histo : yes, I am trying with that backports. | 11:25 |
| sagar | ubotto : thanks, I will do if that helps | 11:25 |
| jrib | linux-image-server-lts-backport-oneiric should just be in main | 11:25 |
| jrib | yeah, lucid-updates/main and lucid-security/main | 11:26 |
| histo | jrib: yeah but i'm sure they have some reason as to why not. They did it with precise... Quantal went more than main | 11:26 |
| sagar | Jrib : They are not entertaining comments. I thought, I will get some idea in this pool,thats why. | 11:26 |
| jrib | histo: as to why not what? | 11:26 |
| jrib | sagar: well I think basically, the consensus is that ideally you would install 12.04. You said that's not possible for a few months because of things beyond your control. So you're stuck with installing 10.04 and upgrading as soon as possible. To install 10.04, you'll likely have to spin your own install disc. If you can get an install with the older kernel however, you can then just use the 3.0 kernel by | 11:30 |
| jrib | installing the lts-backport package I mentioned. That's my summary anyway | 11:30 |

| Han | Hi, is there still an active apt-get mirror with natty somewhere? | 13:37 |
| jrib | Han: natty is no longer supported, why do you want a mirror for it? | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | !natty | Han | 13:38 |
| ubottu | Han: Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on 2012-10-28, see http://ubottu.com/y/natty for details. | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | Han, natty? | 13:38 |
| Han | It's a production machine... | 13:38 |
| jrib | Han: so you're running an unsupported release on a production machine? I'd urge you to upgrade as soon as possible | 13:38 |
| cfhowlett | Han, production machines maybe should not be running non-supported OS? Just sayin' ... | 13:38 |
| Han | Please... I know it's no longer supported. | 13:38 |
| auronandace | Han: then you should've upgraded when you had the chance | 13:38 |
| Han | I didn't work here at the time. | 13:39 |
| cfhowlett | Han, so if/when the non-supported OS breaks, you'll be blamed for not upgrading, right? | 13:39 |

My TTY resolution is defaulting to double the vertical resolution that it should be, and if I run dpkg-reconfigure console-setup i can set it to the correct vga mode to have it render correctly.

| jrib | Mrokii: well there are still some german settings there, though it seems like menu items should be english | 14:13 |
| Mrokii | nogal: Thanks, I'll try that. | 14:13 |
| amcsi_work | before clicking x to close the window, the window minimizes, so my click either hits the desktop, or another window's x if I'm unlucky | 14:13 |
| jrib | OliverJAsh: do you want to enable the emacs-style shortcuts? You could also just pick some out and add them yourself I suppose | 14:14 |
| Mrokii | jrib: Yes, I know about the German settings. But none of these are about the language itself, just about how formats for date and such are handle.d | 14:14 |
| jrib | OliverJAsh: also, there may be some default shortcut key (other than "end") that I'm not aware of to take you to the end of line | 14:14 |
| OliverJAsh | perhaps the easiest thing for me to do would be to map cmd+left to home and cmd+right to end? | 14:15 |
| jrib | Mrokii: to troubleshoot, I would suggest changing all those settings to english and then starting the program from the same terminal (where you can verify the environment). See if the behavior persists | 14:15 |
| OliverJAsh | i would prefer those shortcuts over emcas | 14:15 |

| ChrisSc | my ubuntu suddenly boots into initramfs | 16:42 |
| nmittal | ChrisSc: you setup software RAID? | 16:42 |
| ChrisSc | although i can continue boot with "exit", i want to know why this happens | 16:42 |
| ChrisSc | nmittal: nope | 16:42 |
| ChrisSc | unfortunatly I do not see a error message... | 16:42 |
| nmittal | ChrisSc: hardware ? | 16:43 |
| nmittal | RAID | 16:43 |
| Guest54984 | i have no display when im on login screen, and now running with recovery, i had a problem with 13.04 driver for dual monitor and resolution, just changed my driver on additional drivers, and now i cant see anything on main boot, plus i have a problem with X Server Settings, “You do not appear to be using the nvidia x server” | 16:43 |
| ChrisSc | no raid, 2 hdd, ubuntu boots from usb3 | 16:43 |
| Guest54984 | any solution??! | 16:43 |
| gustav_ | Since I upgraded the xorg-intel driver, it came to be upgraded from the repo, X keeps starting in "low graphics mode," and I don't want it to. Actually, I'm not sure what it means, because I can start X as usual (the login manager has changed) with all colours and play games with optirun as usual, although I think the framerate is lower than usual, missing about 100 fps. One additional problem is that xrandr doesn't detect or show the other-than-LVDS-outputs I | 16:43 |
| ChrisSc | the two hdd are mounted with fstab | 16:43 |
| nmittal | ChrisSc: i've only seen that error when ubuntu tries to boot before the device is ready (happens often with RAID) | 16:43 |
| ChrisSc | nmittal: hmm, can this be due to the usb-stick as well? | 16:44 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 16:44 |
| nmittal | ChrisSc: and while you are typing exit.. the device becomes available and boots | 16:44 |
| genii | nmittal: Sometimes also happens if not ext2/3/4 and fs driver not there immediately | 16:44 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5729887/ | 16:45 |
| nmittal | ChrisSc: possible.. becoz USB systems may not be up | 16:45 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: its only one line, so you dodn'y have to pastebin ;) | 16:45 |
| nmittal | ChrisSc: try enabling USB in bios if thats an option for you | 16:45 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: are you using a PPA for the driver? | 16:45 |
| ChrisSc | strange thing is that this has not happended before | 16:45 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: Two lines actually. | 16:45 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: I think so. | 16:45 |
| genii | ChrisSc: Might want to make sure you have usbstorage driver specified in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and then do the sudo update-initramfs -u | 16:45 |
| ChrisSc | system worked fine for a few weeks | 16:46 |
| ChrisSc | genii: how can i be sure of this? | 16:46 |

| elisa87 | how can I install this package ? http://packages.debian.org/sid/libprotobuf-dev | 16:48 |

| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: you can see (In your own paste) that the package is available from the official ubuntu repos | 16:48 |
| ChrisSc | RonWhoCares: sudo apte-get update | sudo apt-get upgrade | 16:49 |
| theadmin | RonWhoCares: Update packages? sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. To the next release? sudo do-release-upgrade | 16:49 |

| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: no idea, i don't use crappy optimus but I'd imagine it would. Not 100% sure. Optimus is a dirty hack | 16:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | the sooner optimus is canned as a cludge, the better | 16:51 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: Maybe you mean bumblebee, Optimus is the nVidia hardware. | 16:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: bumblebee is the software in Linux to support optimus | 16:51 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: Optimus works in Windows AFAIK. | 16:52 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: yes, because Nvidia only provide support for that platform | 16:52 |
| === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: if nvidia supported Linux with it as well, it would work | 16:52 |
| genii | ChrisSc: Will either be: usb-storage or: usb_storage ( I forget which ) ... by itself on a line in the file | 16:52 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: The latest stable version of their driver supports Linux. But it requires very late versions of X.org etc. | 16:52 |
| trism | damage: ahh you have a whole bunch of versions, would start with: sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current-updates nvidia-experimental-310; (assuming you still wanted to use nvidia-current) | 16:52 |
| adamk | I heard that the latest beta drivers do support optimus these days. | 16:53 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: what windows does is of very little bearing to Linux, it is a completely different OS with different support | 16:53 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: I mean, contains support for Optimus on Linux. | 16:53 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: Do you multiboot to Windows? | 16:53 |
| ChrisSc | genii: found it, thanks. Is usbcore, ext3, ext2 neccessary as well? | 16:53 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: no, pure Ubuntu and some others. I only touch Windows for work | 16:53 |
| trism | damage: then: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current; and then I would reboot and see what happens | 16:53 |
| damage | trisim: I would like to get back to a public domain standard driver, just to get the gui running again, and then I will install via additional drivers tool. | 16:54 |
| genii | ChrisSc: No, those are standard already | 16:54 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: I find my Intel chip is too poor for 3D in even say TF2, so I'm voting for Optimus support, which is the hardware I own. | 16:54 |
| ChrisSc | genii: okay, thanks, will give it a try | 16:54 |
| genii | ChrisSc: Also loading the usb-storage will automatically modprobe in the usbcore, etc | 16:54 |
| damage | trisim: I will try that. | 16:54 |

| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: i7 is partly a RISC processor. | 16:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: I would have gone for a non-sany/ivy bridge CPU and got an nvidia GPU on its own. no switching rubbish, simpler | 16:55 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: CISC instructions picked apart into RISC instructions and then run. | 16:55 |
| damage | trisim: what is the irc command to view just your output? | 16:55 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: I have Ivy Bridge, this thing is built in. | 16:55 |

| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: exactly, if I was building a gaming rig I'd be avoiding those things | 16:56 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: Ok. :/ | 16:56 |
| fowl | my ubuntu came with some "node" binary, what the heck is it, if not nodejs? thanks | 16:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: we cannot support packages from PPAs here. I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer | 16:56 |
| gustav_ | ActionPa1snip: Can I remove the PPA and not break my X config, I'm not sure what removing it will do, like will it clear all my working configs? | 16:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | gustav_: it will roll back if you use ppa-purge but I am unsure of results | 16:57 |

| trism | damage: yeah low graphics mode probably means it still isn't working, head back over to one of the ttys and check dkms status | 17:11 |
| trism | damage: if that looks fine, check lsmod to see if the nvidia module is loaded, and if not: sudo modprobe nvidia; | 17:11 |
| damage | trism: Did a dkms status. No nVida enteries. Will try lsmod now. | 17:12 |
| trism | damage: ahh, if no nvidia entries: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current; I think you may have purged too many | 17:13 |

| ernalve | Hello. I upgraded from 12.04 to ubuntu 12.10 some weeks ago and lost my internet connection. It's a known issue with Atheros card.

Unluckily, none of them worked and I even lost internet while on windows. Now I'm running the 11.04 live cd and the internet works just fine... Would it be ok to dow | 17:19 |

| ernalve | nload and install 13.04 directly? Won't I lose my files? Thanks a lot | 17:19 |

| SonikkuAmerica | ernalve: If you're coming from an earlier *buntu version, no | 17:20 |

| damage | trism: Going to reboot, just to confirm that it will start automatically. | 17:21 |
| theadmin | ernalve: You can do a weird upgrade using the Ubuntu installer. Go to manual partitioning and mark your earlier / partition with it's current filesystem and do *not* mark it for formatting. That'll do a proper reinstall preserving /home and /usr/local/ | 17:21 |
| DJones | theadmin: Agreed about LTS being for people who want stability | 17:21 |

| nmittal | hello ppl.. just installed 13.04 desktop and want to setup multiple monitors. I have installed the proprietory nvidia drivers but when i add the other monitors.. all i see is a 'X' for a mouse pointer... no background no launcher.. etc | 17:50 |
| nmittal | has anyone had any luck with Ubuntu and multiple monitors? | 17:51 |
| grimeton | nmittal: i guess it works as it always did: you have to tell the x-server where to put the second desktop (left of, right of, ...) and tell it that it should be one single desktop | 17:52 |
| nmittal | grimeton, i am using nvidia-settings-manager and i have done the left of.. etc so the mouse moves from one monitor to another as expected.. but the cursor changes to a "X" | 17:54 |
| nmittal | and I have no launchers on the other monitors | 17:54 |
| grimeton | nmittal: did you restart X? maybe the desktop/window manager hasn't noticed the change yet? | 17:55 |
| nmittal | grimeton.. yes | 17:55 |
| grimeton | nmittal: maybe you have to tell the wm to use the other space too? | 17:55 |
| grimeton | tried to drag a window to the other screen? | 17:55 |
| nmittal | grimeton, i dont think we can drag windows across x-screens | 17:56 |
| grimeton | nmittal: i do | 17:58 |
| nmittal | grimeton, do you have Nvidia? | 17:58 |
| grimeton | nmittal: back in the day when i used linux on the desktop i had, yes | 17:58 |

| === stochasm- is now known as stochasm | ||
| * Gnea can drag windows from one x-screen to another across multiple displays | 17:59 | |
| nmittal | grimeton, this is something else.. it seems there is no window manager on the other 2 x-screens | 17:59 |
| nmittal | grimeton, just on this one | 17:59 |
| Gnea | nmittal: what window manager are you using? and have you tried to change any other settings in the nvidia config? | 18:00 |
| grimeton | nmittal: this sounds to me that either the x config is broken OR that the window manager didn't notice the change | 18:00 |
| grimeton | both is possible too | 18:01 |
| streulma | should I run 13.04 or 12.04, is 13.04 not with bugs? | 18:01 |
| nmittal | Gnea, grimeton can you pls look at my xorg.conf file.. http://fpaste.org/16297/70282478/ | 18:01 |

| nmittal | Gnea, twinview is only for 2 monitors rt? | 18:04 |
| Gnea | nmittal: I'm just asking... what happens? | 18:04 |

| stabyou | ? | 18:07 |
| nmittal | Gnea, nothing same problem with twinview | 18:07 |
| gordonjcp | !ask | stabyou | 18:07 |
| ubottu | stabyou: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 18:07 |

| IdleOne | ArlieS: what problem are you having submitting the bug? | 18:09 |
| ArlieS | ubuntu-bug expects me to know what package is involved | 18:09 |
| ArlieS | once I finally figured out I was suppsoed to use that ;-) | 18:09 |
| IdleOne | ArlieS: it helps if you know the specific package but if you don't we might be able to narrow it down. What seems to be the issue? | 18:09 |
| ArlieS | The issue is that I have a piece of crap running on my system and it keeps oming back - usr/lib/libunity-webapps/unity-webapps-context-daemon Amazon www.amazon.com icon://amazon-store [Invalid UTF-8] ubuntu-amazon-default.desktop - and if there's any way to disable it, it's not documented anywhere i can find | 18:10 |

| IdleOne | !adlens | ArlieS | 18:11 |
| ubottu | ArlieS: If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ | 18:11 |

| ArlieS | It's showing up as an icon in the bar on the left of my screen, and a running process | 18:12 |

| ArlieS | Ty ubottu - the article by Mark Shuttleworth says the icon in the dash - and presumably the constantly running process - is indeed intentional | 18:14 |

| [SLB] | is there an undo command for the last apt-get install run? | 18:22 |
| dirk_ | i have ubuntu and xp installed side by side on my c drive... i can uninstall easy by going into windows and going into add/remove programs but ubuntu doesn't give that process a option... so if i wanted to take windows off my c drive would i need to format the drive... yes i used wubi to install ubuntu | 18:23 |

| ArlieS | I use web browsers when I want to access off my local system, strange as that may seem to canonical designers | 18:25 |
| IdleOne | dirk_: you would need to migrate your ubuntu/wubi install to a dedicated partition, then format the partition with windows on it. it will be much simpler to just do a clean install with an Ubuntu Live CD/USB | 18:25 |
| ShapeShifter499 | hi | 18:26 |
| dirk_ | MONKEYDUST... ya i know... i have problem booting ubuntu everytime because it says it can't find the boot module (or grub) it gives me lines of lines of errors before i type exit and it finially loads ubuntu... i made a wubi usb so i believe they are dual boot but i used wubi to install | 18:26 |
| IdleOne | ArlieS: this isn't a complaint channel, if you have a specific issue with Ubuntu please ask the questions. | 18:26 |
| MonkeyDust | dirk_ wubi was a pseudo-install, it complicates things | 18:26 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I just got a new (well 2010 model) iPod Shuffle and it doesn't sync with rhythmbox, it says "Do you want to initialize your iPod?" the Model selection box is grayed out. Any ideas? | 18:27 |
| MonkeyDust | dirk_ that's why everybody cheered when wubi was removed from the ubuntu iso | 18:27 |
| dirk_ | well i need to get the ubuntu iso and make a usb installation and reinstall then correct? | 18:27 |
| jrib | [SLB]: no | 18:27 |
| usr13 | dirk_: If you are dual boot, I would suggest gparted liveCD. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/download.php And just shrink the MS windows partition(s) down to very small size. (Otherwize, you'll need to re-configure your fstab file and some other config stuff, which in the long run, backing up /home/ and re-install would be easier. | 18:27 |
| [SLB] | ah ok, thanks | 18:27 |
| ArlieS | @Idle - that would eb for recommendations for alternate window managers then ;-) | 18:28 |
| [SLB] | glad i saved the list of packages installed so i can now do a simple remove | 18:28 |
| ArlieS | and the big question - can I run ubuntu without unity and thereby miss these features, or do i need to go to a difefrent distro | 18:28 |
| bazhang | !notunity | ArlieS | 18:29 |
| ubottu | ArlieS: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 18:29 |
| usr13 | ArlieS: You can install other Desktop Evnironments. i.e. sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 18:29 |

| dirk_ | check this out http://imagebin.org/260038 | 18:33 |
| usr13 | dirk_: If you are using wubi, you will need to do a fresh Ubuntu install. | 18:33 |
| dirk_ | so i should format c drive entirely, partitions and all and reinstall | 18:34 |
| genii | usr13: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MigrateWubi might be useful, with some hand-holding. They probably have to shrink the windows partition if there's only sda1 for instance, then make another one to migrate the wubi to and run the instructions. Then gparted to finally absorb the original sda1 | 18:35 |
| usr13 | dirk_: The install process provides you with options to delete all existing partitions and start from fresh. Just boot the install CD or USB. You'll see. | 18:35 |
| dirk_ | ya id say i'd need some handholding on that for sure | 18:35 |
| aimee | When in doubt: DUCT TAPE jk, I was using WUBI for my pc originally, but I had so many problems, I bought a second hard disk drive and put ubuntu on that. Really fixed a lot of problems | 18:35 |
| usr13 | genii: I don't know about that, but sounds like fresh install would be easier. | 18:36 |
| ArlieS | For what it's worth, I started with wubi, and found it didn't deal well with updates to packages; eventually had to reinstall as a seperate partition | 18:37 |
| usr13 | dirk_: genii Fresh Ubuntu install is easy. | 18:37 |

| MonkeyDust | dirk_ 12.04 if you want long support, 13.04 if you want the latest stuff | 19:14 |

| dirk_ | i don't think i have the PAE or whatever it's called CPU to run 12.04 | 19:15 |

| jrib | frinknet: also /var/log/auth.log on the server might give hints | 19:26 |
| dirk_ | clcto.... xubuntu is lighter so i may get better performance out of my machine.... so with that said is it the same or equal to running the xubuntu desktop or just installing the xubuntu iso? sorry if my question seems stupid | 19:26 |

| OerHeks | carrier learning ubuntu is using the internet, i guess. hang in here and you will read many problems and solutions with documentation & stuff | 19:32 |
| frinknet | jrib: nothing from there. I've tried adding the —group flag to the generation of systest this gives unique groups for both. I've chsh -s /bin/bash systest - so we can prove it's not a shell issue | 19:35 |
| nogal | So, I found the bug in Ubuntu that causes it to not render the TTY appropriately. It comes without uvesafb.conf setup, simply manually configure this file, append uvesafb to the blacklist and kernel modules, change udev to allow alteration of the framebuffor and then add the user priveleges to the group. | 19:36 |
| trism | elixir: glade is gtk3, glade-gtk2 is gtk2 | 19:36 |

| tobyjones8 | so judging by the fact that you're using this irc channel right now | 19:52 |
| uuiie | what to do in it? i have used yahoo messanger a lot but this is quite different | 19:52 |

| tobyjones8 | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XChatHowto | 19:52 |

| uuiie | Yes I read that and so connected to #ubuntu | 19:53 |

| uuiie | can I convert xchat simple in to xchat-gnome? | 19:54 |
| ubuntivity | What advantages will this give me in comparison to webchat.freenode.net? beside the visual advantage? | 19:54 |
| tobyjones8 | do you not use gnome? | 19:54 |
| uuiie | I am on Ubuntu 12.04 | 19:54 |
| tobyjones8 | ubuntivity, it doesn't require a browser all the time | 19:54 |
| mojtaba | Is there any idea about it? | 19:55 |
| ubuntivity | On webchat, if someone mentioned my name it appeared in red, now nothing indicates my name was mentioned :/ | 19:55 |
| tobyjones8 | so you should be able to do sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome | 19:55 |
| ubuntivity | Or is there a way to activate that? | 19:55 |
| tobyjones8 | if I'm not mistaken | 19:55 |

| tidux | LTS if possible, 13.04 if necessary | 19:56 |
| uuiie | hmmm thats right, so I think first I need to uninstall xchat simple and then install xchat-gnome, right? | 19:56 |
| syntroPi | mojtaba, you never need to enter a password in that recovery mode at all? (eg. for other superuser account)? | 19:56 |
| tobyjones8 | does ubuntu work at all on the transformers? | 19:56 |

| uuiie | tobeyjones8, one last thing plz, how to add you in list to contact you again? | 19:59 |

| tobyjones8 | feel free to pm me for my skype nick | 19:59 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba: Don't know off the top of my head but I'm sure it's in the grub manpages. | 19:59 |
| syntroPi | mojtaba, not quite sure how, but id bet there is a way to do that (with backup before ofc). Since i never done that maybe someone else would be of better help though | 20:00 |

| tidux | since my x86 laptop is getting a bit old and clunky | 20:00 |
| jhutchins_wk | mojtaba: Of course, if they have physical access to the device it's pretty hard to prevent access. You can set the BIOS password so they can't boot to alternate media, but they can always yank the drive and mount it on another system. | 20:01 |
| tobyjones8 | go for a nexus 7 | 20:01 |
| tobyjones8 | in that case | 20:01 |
| tobyjones8 | and grab an otg cable, usb hub, keyboard and mouse | 20:01 |
| tidux | fuck everything about that | 20:01 |
| tobyjones8 | not as elegant, but you do save a lot of cash | 20:01 |
| tobyjones8 | and still Asus ;) | 20:02 |
| tidux | I want a real laptop | 20:02 |
| tobyjones8 | why? I love my n7... | 20:02 |
| tobyjones8 | Fair enough | 20:02 |
| mlindsay_ | crazy question, I got a intel software raided windows install that won't boot. If I use a ubuntu live cd on that computer, will it see the NTFS raid? | 20:02 |
| mojtaba | jhutchins_wk: Can they remove the BIOS password by removing the battery inside? | 20:02 |
| tidux | too small, too slow, too little battery life compared to a docked Transformer | 20:02 |
| tobyjones8 | moj, it's possible depending on your mobo | 20:02 |
| tobyjones8 | I find it to be fast enough | 20:02 |

| adam_m | Not so much issues with the os, as issues making a live usb, with the usb disk creator. Seems like it fails to make it each time that ive tried, though im not entirely sure why. All im trying to do is make a ubuntu usb on a 4gb flash drive | 20:17 |
| ubuntu01 | k1l: doesn't help :( | 20:17 |
| ahalverson | neyder: so you want a desktop eviroment similar to xfce | 20:18 |

| jrib | frinknet: see what happens if you remove the user from nogroup | 20:20 |
| neyder | ahalverson, o mean Windows familiar, but it's not important, cause xubuntu's default profile is well enough | 20:20 |
| ubuntu01 | k1l: nothing, no errors :( | 20:20 |

| Guest85490 | genii come in private | 20:22 |
| neyder | ahalverson, windows like 'cause most of teacher only know Windows and they have a very tall learning curve with technology. And i don't think it should look exactly like windows but familiar, so bottom menu and so on | 20:22 |
| genii | Guest85490: No. This is my policy. Public help only. | 20:22 |

| Dayofswords | You can get XFCE to be a lot like windows. | 20:23 |
| Jordan_U | neyder: I'm glad that you're not going for something that looks exactly like Windows, I always find it odd that people think that that will make things easier for users rather than confusing them (or tricking them, which is bad). | 20:23 |
| genii | Guest85490: See the links provided by ubottu to make sure you have the extra repositories like restricted and multiverse set up first. | 20:23 |

| Jordan_U | neyder: For very old machines LUbuntu might be a better fit, and if I recall correctly it has a launcher menu at the bottom left by default. | 20:24 |

| yousaf | its actually a bitnami lamp stack... but I don't know the URL of the server | 20:27 |
| yousaf | as in the actual webserver ip | 20:27 |
| Tibas | A one person gave me a tip of "how to recover", but can't solve this problem | 20:27 |
| jrib | frinknet: even without changing shell I still login and see motd as a system user (but I get kicked right out because shell is /bin/false) | 20:27 |
| jrib | frinknet: and once I change shell I can login and get a shell prompt | 20:28 |
| Jordan_U | Tibas: Lost in what sense? Can you pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "sudo blkid"? | 20:28 |
| Tibas | Jordan in this moment I into log on linux with a live cd | 20:29 |
| neyder | so , here is my question: How to make a new default profile bassed in xubuntu? | 20:29 |
| Tibas | I cannot log on the windows or linux. | 20:29 |
| ubuntu01 | k1l: changed mirrors, got some updates, I hope it will fix it ;-) (local mirror probably broken, not synced) | 20:30 |

| mercury00 | Sorry for the nature of the question, but I'm really trying: what would be the best channel for questions about NFS? | 20:41 |
| clcto | mercury00: this should be fine if you are using ubuntu | 20:42 |
| clcto | mercury00: but there is also #nfs | 20:42 |
| mercury00 | Ah, didn't know there was #nfs, thanks (the ubuntu wiki only lists #ubuntu-* channels it seems) | 20:43 |
| catcher | There's a bugfix for emacs in a new version that I want: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/emacs23/23.3+1-1ubuntu9.2 How can I get this version without breaking my usual Update Manager updates for emacs? | 20:43 |
| mercury00 | I'll try that first and come back if it's ubuntu specific then | 20:43 |
| clcto | mercury00: its not very populated | 20:47 |
| mercury00 | aha | 20:47 |
| mercury00 | Maybe I'll repeat myself in this channel then: | 20:48 |
| mercury00 | I have a strange issue that I can't seem to find anyone else having anywhere. I've set up and been running an NFS server for a while, using nfsv4, and idmapd, and server and clients are using openldap for user identity stuff. | 20:49 |
| mercury00 | Anyway, everything works ok, mounts mount ok, users use stuff ok. But, when looking at file permissions, although the users are all listed properly, no groups show up. All files belong to nogroup. | 20:49 |
| mercury00 | I've read pages and pages about idmapd and permissions, but none of it seems to apply as all the users map just fine. Any insights? | 20:49 |
| jambey | Hey I need someone to take my survey. If you have a free 30 seconds please fill it out. http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/J6FVF3D | 20:50 |

| clcto | jambey: no spam here | 20:51 |
| clcto | mercury00: what fs is the nfs system? | 20:51 |
| mercury00 | catcher: I'll get better details, but you should be able to add the precise-propsed repo, and then configure it to *only* use the emacs package from that repo | 20:51 |
| mercury00 | clcto: good q, let me check, | 20:51 |
| Dr_willis | catcher, find a ppa that has the newer emacs in it - would be the normal way to keep up with the latest versions. | 20:52 |
| Dr_willis | catcher, its possible it may be in the backports repos also. | 20:52 |
| catcher | Dr_willis, What if I wanted to go back to the non-ppa, would I be able to just remove the PPA source and update as normal? | 20:52 |
| Dr_willis | !ppa-purge | 20:53 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 20:53 |
| Dr_willis | thats what the ppa-purge command is all about. ;) | 20:53 |
| catcher | cool, makes sense. | 20:53 |
| mercury00 | clcto: my filesystem is XFS for the NFS mount | 20:54 |
| frinknet | jrib: I've traced down the error. It is a user error but it's not entirely obvious. See: | 20:54 |
| frinknet | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5730318/ | 20:54 |
| frinknet | Lines 4-6 never actually run as the user because the user has a shell set to /bin/false - in the future ask the user if they "sudo su username -c whoami" what do they see...? | 20:54 |
| catcher | How long is the turnaround for this type of thing to go into the stable packages? This was released on 05/16 | 20:54 |
| mercury00 | (I'd rather use ext4, but too late now) | 20:55 |
| jrib | frinknet: I see | 20:55 |
| jrib | !sru | catcher | 20:56 |
| ubottu | catcher: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 20:56 |
| Dr_willis | catcher, that updated version may never get in the default repos , untill the next release. thats why theres the backports and other pps's ubuntu dosent really change versions on a release unless theres a big reason. | 20:56 |
| Dr_willis | !latest | 20:56 |
| ubottu | Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 20:56 |
| catcher | good to know, thanks very much for the info. Any organized way to look for the PPA with the right build, or do I just google for it? | 20:57 |
| Dr_willis | theres a ppa search site | 20:57 |
| Dr_willis | !ppa | 20:57 |

| OerHeks | clcto for amd i would think so | 21:07 |
| clcto | azomb: external as in usb? | 21:08 |
| azomb | yes | 21:08 |
| Aprel | clcto, OerHeks: desktop. lm-sensors gives temps 76-79degC. sensors calls 80.0C "high" and 98.0C "critical", but I don't know if "high" means "don't run at this" | 21:08 |
| azomb | its's a x-fi go pro by creative | 21:08 |
| clcto | azomb: does it show up in alsamixer? if so you should be able to create a shortcut for amixer [+-=]<level> | 21:09 |
| Aprel | been running folding@home, just wanna make sure heat dispersion is ok | 21:09 |
| OerHeks | Aprel i assume those values are correct set by your bios, @98 your cpu will start to shutdown as a safety measure. | 21:10 |

| === CaptainObvious is now known as Guest84771 | ||
| Aprel | OerHeks: yeah, the fan really starts kicking in to keep things just under 80C. Your link suggests that's an ok operating temp. Does Intel publish safe op temps? The datasheet for the processor was unfortunately unreadable to me... | 21:14 |
| kostkon | azomb, better use the pacmd commands to control the volume and not directly through alsa | 21:14 |
| OerHeks | Aprel, i could not find those specs on http://ark.intel.com/products/52210/Intel-Core-i5-2500K-Processor-6M-Cache-up-to-3_70-GHz therefore i assume the bios sets it automaticly | 21:15 |
| kostkon | azomb, sorry, i meant pactl | 21:15 |
| jimmt | hear about that joke where the package told the package manager the package was now obsolete, and shouldn't be used? | 21:16 |
| jimmt | it was self-deprecating humor | 21:16 |
| azomb | kostkon: Thanks but I just booted into linux for the first time yesterday. What are the pactl commands and how can I alter them? | 21:17 |
| Aprel | OerHeks: ah I see. Kinda high default for an average processor (not i5, which I know should prolly tolerate higher temps). Could the BIOS intelligently assigns high temp thresholds based on how the processor identifies itself? | 21:18 |
| OerHeks | Aorel yes, it can | 21:19 |
| kostkon | azomb, for a start give: "man pactl" in the terminal without the quotes | 21:19 |
| azomb | kostkon, cool did that | 21:20 |
| kostkon | azomb, you could set your x-fi as the default device and then control it with your keyboard volume keys. does your keyboard have volume keys? | 21:20 |
| Draxelis | does anyone use nod32? | 21:21 |
| azomb | kostkon, yeh it does | 21:21 |
| kostkon | azomb, what happens when you press them | 21:21 |
| kostkon | azomb, are you using your onboard at all or just your x-fi for everything | 21:22 |
| Aprel | OerHeks: k, everything seems to be working ok then. Thanks for the info. | 21:22 |
| azomb | kostkon,It turns the volume down but doesn't effect the volume through the external sound card.. xi fi for pretty much everything | 21:23 |
| iderik | If I upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04, what will happen to my precious configs and scripts? | 21:23 |
| jrib | iderik: nothing because even if something unexpected were to occur, you have backups | 21:23 |
| kostkon | azomb, you are on ubuntu right? then open your sound prefs and set your x-fi as the default card, i mean select it in the output tab | 21:24 |
| OerHeks | Aprel have fun | 21:24 |
| lessent | hi all... | 21:25 |
| azomb | kostkon, i'm using xubuntu | 21:25 |

| lessent | i cant open any video on youtube.. why is that? i use ubuntu, mint and xp ( invirtualbox).. youtube doesnt work any os on my pc.. | 21:26 |
| Draxelis | does anyone use nod32? | 21:26 |
| iderik | Crashed, did anyone asnwer my question? :) | 21:26 |
| kostkon | azomb, i think xubuntu uses pulseaudio by default. to make sure, does the command: "ps -A | grep pulse" produce any output | 21:26 |
| azomb | kostkon, i thought it would be close to ubuntu since it's based on it so i came here :\ | 21:26 |
| Draxelis | eset antivirus? | 21:26 |
| kostkon | azomb, yeah np. if yes, then you could install the pulseuadio volume control utility and set your xfi as the default device from there. | 21:27 |

| mac_ | good evening all.. (newb) i have a big question over sharing fodlers.. to be exact with the problem .. i have comp-comp connection with LAN cable.. both computers have internet, great.. now, the question is, how to make windows xp to share folders to linux ubuntu 12.04 lts and back.. can someone please help me over that? | 21:28 |
| Draxelis | MonkeyDust, I know. But I still have eset licenses | 21:28 |
| Draxelis | i use it on win and on ubuntu | 21:28 |
| Jordan_U | lessent: What happens when you try to watch a youtube video? | 21:28 |
| azomb | kostkon, command not found | 21:29 |
| Draxelis | but this new ubuntu 13.04 has many problems. a lot of stuff doesnt work on it ;/ | 21:29 |
| kostkon | azomb, just: ps -A | grep pulse | 21:29 |
| Draxelis | personally for me 13.04 is worse than 12.10 | 21:29 |

| Dayofswords | Draxelis: use something else then? | 21:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Draxelis eset is not GPL, so i guess you cannot use it in linux | 21:29 |
| azomb | kostkon, it worked. I messed up a space | 21:30 |
| lessent | Jordan_U: I tried to use vpn server.. and it works when i use vpn server.. but it doesnt work on my normal connection.. now vpn doesnt work too and i dont play youtube | 21:30 |
| Draxelis | Dayofswords, i'm not going to jump the ship. just saying that it's worse for some reason. I had many issues. Hope they will be sorted on the coming releases. | 21:30 |
| azomb | kostkon, it says pulseaudio | 21:30 |
| MonkeyDust | Draxelis no rants please | 21:31 |
| kostkon | azomb, try installing the utility ive mentioned, in the terminal like this: sudo apt-get install pavucontrol | 21:31 |
| Kjell | Hi, | 21:31 |
| Draxelis | MonkeyDust, why can'tt use it? not all soft needs to be gpl to use it on linux | 21:31 |
| Dayofswords | Draxelis: I use Xubuntu and everything is fine for me, but I'm on the LTS. | 21:31 |
| Draxelis | LTS is all good | 21:31 |
| Draxelis | i'm talking about 13.04 | 21:31 |
| MonkeyDust | Draxelis i guess it's beyond this channel | 21:31 |
| Draxelis | even 12.10 is all good ;) | 21:31 |
| Kjell | When I start my pc I do not have an internet connection and have to wait 60s to get into the desktop. Then I need to start the network-manager service to get internet. | 21:32 |
| azomb | kostkon, should i test it now? | 21:32 |
| === dramz_ is now known as dramz | ||
| MonkeyDust | Draxelis maybe the people in ##linux can help you with this eset and GPL issue | 21:33 |

| kostkon | azomb, if you have already set it as the default device yes | 21:33 |

| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, got it ? | 21:39 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, this page doesnt have a solution to the problem. Problem is that nod32 asks ROOT (su) password, but I don't have it. Ubuntu asks only for "sudo" | 21:39 |
| mac_ | jrib yes.. thanku but it does not shown on win xp | 21:40 |

| MonkeyDust | mac_ gigolo manages different types of networks, try it | 21:40 |
| azomb | kostkon, I've done that before but it doesn't work. Could it be the lack of a driver? | 21:40 |
| hello_world_newb | i guess you can use your sudo password | 21:40 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, i used. says "su: authentication failed" | 21:41 |
| lessent | Jordan_U: no... all flash doesnt work.. html5 doesnt work too | 21:41 |
| kostkon | azomb, what do you mean? | 21:41 |
| lil_danger | hello | 21:42 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, i think nod32 is not compatible with 13.04 ;/ | 21:42 |

| lil_danger | i already tried to use different programs to burn | 21:43 |
| lil_danger | any ideas?? | 21:43 |
| azomb | kostkon, when I hit set as fallback I can hear through the card, but by hardware volume keys only affect the volume level of the built in audio even though it's not in use? | 21:43 |

| codephobic | hi | 21:44 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, well are u using eset smart security or nod32 antivirus ? | 21:44 |
| Nadja | I'm about to switch from FreeBSD to Ubuntu as my router OS. The box connects to the INET via PPPoE and is an accesspoint. What I cannot get to work is bridging between the wlan and the lan. I can ping and stuff, but large packets seem to "hang". Anyone has any ideas what could be the problem? | 21:44 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, nod32 because only that is available for linux | 21:44 |
| azomb | kostkon, :( | 21:44 |
| codephobic | how do you set up default directories to look through, for the desktop wallpaper settings tool? | 21:44 |
| Draxelis | nod32 version 4 | 21:44 |
| hello_world_newb | ok | 21:44 |
| codephobic | I'm using Ubuntu 13.04, btw. | 21:45 |
| houser | codephobic, nice...is it fast? | 21:45 |
| azomb | kostkon, I have a newer version of xubuntu ready to install to maybe fix the problem, so I guess it's come to that | 21:46 |
| lessent | Jordan_U: yes it works for "vimeo", "rt.com/on-air/" | 21:46 |
| kostkon | azomb, you could check this post first: http://askubuntu.com/questions/137421/volume-keys-are-working-in-unity-but-not-in-xfce4 | 21:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Nadja: A network issue at the very least... are packets hanging in FreeBSD? | 21:47 |
| Jordan_U | lessent: "it" works as in audio, or does video work with vimeo also? | 21:47 |
| no9to5blogger | hello | 21:47 |
| codephobic | blj | 21:47 |
| codephobic | oops | 21:48 |
| lessent | "audio" and "video" work on vimeo.. Jordan_U: | 21:48 |
| azomb | kostkon, that seems like it'll work, thanks | 21:48 |
| codephobic | houser, hi yeah much more responsive than 12.10. | 21:48 |
| kostkon | azomb, np | 21:48 |
| Nadja | Sonikku: Absolutely not. Bridging and being accesspoint works flawlessly in FreeBSD. Is it possible to debug why packets seem to get lost? | 21:48 |
| === jimmt is now known as Hadclaw | ||
| codephobic | quite a dramatic improvement. I'd gotten used to the heavy feel of ubuntu since 11.04/unity ... this is the first version that's actually been 'nice' to use. | 21:49 |
| houser | im still on 1210 | 21:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Nadja: I'm not sure... maybe the people in #ubuntu-server might now about this. | 21:49 |
| houser | i considered changing for a while | 21:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | houser: Changing? | 21:50 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, i am downloading it and will try to install it lets see if i face any prob | 21:50 |
| Nadja | Sonikku: Ah, I'll try and ask them then. Thank you :o) | 21:50 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, cool, thanks | 21:50 |
| Draxelis | :) | 21:50 |
| houser | SonikkuAmerica, to 1304 | 21:50 |

| vod1k | close | 21:51 |
| === sambreed is now known as wookiehangover | ||
| houser | although ubuntu is also doing weird stuff often :/ | 21:52 |
| kostkon | houser, that's definitely not normal. even with skype | 21:52 |
| SonikkuAmerica | houser: It might be. I've heard of problems with it | 21:52 |
| kostkon | houser, you mean crashing completely, or just getting the crash report popup? | 21:52 |
| houser | kostkon, completely...have to do hard reset | 21:52 |
| kostkon | houser, it could be a hardware prob, possibly ram? | 21:53 |
| houser | yeah...im gonne go for 1304 and see if it helps | 21:53 |
| kostkon | houser, you can do the memtest, although you;ll need to leave your pc on overnight to allow it to finish | 21:54 |
| houser | another thing that annoys me about ubuntu is that its not consistent with active window always being on top :( | 21:54 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, well for me it asked sudo password | 21:54 |
| lessent | audio and video works for vimeo Jordan_U: | 21:54 |
| ubuntu101 | I'm having trouble setting up transmission web interface. When i start downloading it gives me an error "permssion denied ~/Downloads/downloadfilename" even though chmod 770 the folder any know what it might be? | 21:54 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, so installation works? | 21:54 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, and it worked | 21:54 |
| Draxelis | damn | 21:54 |
| Draxelis | so, what could be the problem? ;/ | 21:55 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, well i set the permission to execute the file | 21:55 |
| Draxelis | i did as well | 21:55 |
| Draxelis | then it asked for pass? | 21:56 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, yep | 21:56 |
| Draxelis | ye | 21:56 |
| codephobic | houser, I'd wait for 13.10 to come out, to be honest. | 21:56 |
| comradzilla | i've never installed ubuntu before and i'm quite new. I have virtual box installed and i want to install ubuntu that way | 21:56 |
| Draxelis | I type the pass i use for loggin in | 21:56 |
| === crond- is now known as crond | ||
| comradzilla | i have the ubuntu iso, what do i do from here? :) | 21:56 |
| Draxelis | and it gives "su: authentication failed" | 21:56 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, it wont work | 21:56 |
| codephobic | although 13.04 is much faster and more robust in operation, than 12.10, I get a lot of "kernal panics" when booting into it. | 21:57 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, sudo password are different | 21:57 |
| houser | codemaniac, why? | 21:57 |
| houser | codephobic, ^ | 21:57 |
| codephobic | but that might be due to conflicts with virtualbox, as I have a bunch of headless vms running on boot too. | 21:57 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, but why it works for you and not for me? | 21:57 |
| Draxelis | what's the difference? | 21:57 |
| codephobic | houser, I haven't really looked into the nitty gritty, I just see the code go by, with "kernal panic" chatter and trace procedures and such ... | 21:58 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, based on your installation user password and sudo password can be different | 21:58 |
| houser | codemaniac, in 1304? | 21:58 |
| codephobic | I'm more interested in getting on with my dev work than looking at the gubbins of ubuntu | 21:58 |
| codephobic | houser, yes 13.04 | 21:58 |
| houser | codepal, i thought it was very stqble | 21:59 |
| houser | stable | 21:59 |
| codephobic | my on-board graphics chip is outdated and no longer supported by ati, but that's an Xorg (or whatever it's called) issue... | 21:59 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, I've installed ubuntu many times and it seems I did the regular steps. dont know why I'm having problems now. any ideas how to solve this? or should I just abandon the idea? hello_world_newb | 21:59 |
| codephobic | houser, in operation yes it is stable... I have tonnes of stuff running within it. | 21:59 |
| th0r | Draxelis: have you tried to install su? | 22:00 |
| codephobic | but boot time is dicey ... frequent kernal panics, which force me to reboot. | 22:00 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, well you can set a su password | 22:00 |
| Draxelis | can I set su password temporarily as I read that it's not safe to have su? | 22:00 |
| jrib | Draxelis: why do you want to? | 22:01 |
| Draxelis | to install this damn nod32 antivirus | 22:01 |
| Draxelis | ;/ | 22:01 |
| zykotick9 | Draxelis: if you "really" need root, try "sudo -i" | 22:02 |
| jrib | Draxelis: well first of all, you should use sudo, not su (see ubottu). Second of all, why do you want to install an antivirus? | 22:02 |
| jrib | !sudo | Draxelis | 22:02 |
| ubottu | Draxelis: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:02 |
| Draxelis | jrib, antivirus is quite useful, especially if you dual boot or email to windows users | 22:03 |
| Draxelis | :) | 22:03 |
| Draxelis | hello_world_newb, any way to run this nod32.linux with su privileges? | 22:03 |

| jrib | Draxelis: If they provide repositories for your ubuntu version, use the repositories. if it's a .deb, double click on it | 22:06 |
| Draxelis | it's different | 22:06 |
| Draxelis | anyway, doesnt matter | 22:06 |
| Draxelis | i have too many probs with 13.04 :( | 22:07 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, well thats funny i have none | 22:07 |

| Draxelis | jrib, What fast and accurate commercial antivirus would you recommend for ubuntu? | 22:08 |
| hello_world_newb | Draxelis, if antivirus is important | 22:08 |
| jrib | !antivirus | Draxelis | 22:09 |
| ubottu | Draxelis: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 22:09 |
| KyouReeus4nfo | apt-get install clamav | 22:09 |
| Draxelis | jrib, hehe, you didnt read what i said earlier :)) | 22:09 |
| MonkeyDust | clamtk is the GUI for it | 22:09 |

Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 22:14 |

| chalcedony | i'm looking for some advice about my husband's computer- he has ubuntu 12.04. my friend suggested that he might do better if he upgrades to 13.04 than trying to get the printer, scanner, and sound to work on 12.10 - that there might be more drivers for it, true? | 22:17 |
| Draxelis | you know what's cool about eset? that it counts only computers and not OSs per license. so basically one license can cover windows, macosx, linux and some stuff in virtual box | 22:17 |
| zykotick9 | hello_world_newb: fyi, if you "need" a root prompt in ubuntu = you're doing something wrong ;) | 22:17 |
| Dr_willis | chalcedony, test with a 13.04 live dvd | 22:17 |
| lasindi | When I connect to another computer using Remmina, the top menu panel shadow still appears over the screen from the remote computer. Is there a way to stop the shadow from appearing? | 22:17 |
| k1l | Draxelis: could you stop that eset commercial and stick to ubuntu support questions? | 22:17 |
| Dr_willis | chalcedony, it may depend on the exact printer and scanner | 22:18 |
| Draxelis | k1l, :D | 22:18 |
| marianne | chalcedony: what kind of printer does he use? | 22:18 |
| Draxelis | k1l, more people use eset, the better will be support on linux | 22:18 |
| k1l | Draxelis: that is not a topic for this ubuntu support channel. | 22:18 |
| Draxelis | k1l, anyway. you should try it lol. :)) | 22:19 |
| chalcedony | marianne we have a brother MFC-J6710DW and the scanner is a Memorex 48u flatbed scanner (separate) | 22:19 |
| chalcedony | Dr_willis, lovely to see you, thank you | 22:19 |
| marianne | chalcedony: have you looked at 'additional drivers'? The guys here helped me get my HP running and get my video card working better with additional drivers | 22:20 |
| kostkon | chalcedony, 13.04 has only 9 months of support. before thinking about upgrading, you could install the hardware enablement stuck that offers a new kernel and thus support for newer hardware: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 22:20 |
| marianne | chalcedony: go to the dash and type in additional drivers, then open and run it... be sure the printer is turned on and connected, and it might 'discover' it | 22:21 |
| chalcedony | marianne, cool thanks! | 22:21 |
| marianne | chalcedony: there is also a lot of info out there... just google your printer brand and include that it's running ubuntu 12.04 in the search | 22:22 |
| chalcedony | marianne, been trying for months with the brother printer. id suggest buying ANYTHING other than brother, it interfaces badly | 22:23 |
| chalcedony | if for instance you want to run it wired, it will erase your wireless settings and password, and to change back to wireless you have to re-enter manually on their screen | 22:24 |
| chalcedony | they have no live support for Linux | 22:25 |

| OiCory | Dr_willis: I'm not very good at scripting... Would a .sh file with the commands "cd /opt.seamonkey*/seamonkey && ./seamonkey" work? | 22:56 |
| Dr_willis | use the full and proper paths. | 22:57 |
| Dr_willis | one command per line | 22:57 |

| todd_ | hello anyone? I have trouble with Ubuntu after update cause my wifi stop working. | 22:58 |
| Dr_willis | there might be some seamonkey 'run' script allready in the seamonkey package. | 22:58 |
| c_smith | OiCory: generally you want to use full paths even when you're doing a script, easier to read after the though. | 22:58 |
| c_smith | *thought | 22:58 |
| OiCory | Dr_willis: There is, it is called 'seamonkey' I am trying to run it. | 22:58 |
| OiCory | c_smith: Ok, fixed it but it just opens a blank terminal logged in as root | 22:59 |
| c_smith | OiCory: that might point to a problem with the script they wrote. | 23:00 |
| loiuashd | 12.04: What setting/settings manager can change the window resize from the simple outline to actually show the window's content? | 23:00 |

| loiuashd | Specifically I want this for testing responsive websites during development. | 23:01 |
| === Motoservo_ is now known as Motoservo | ||
| OiCory | c_smith: Ok, hold on, I jsut physically went into the file and ran 'seamonkey' through gui file browser and it gives me this error "Failed to execute process /opt/seamonkey2/seamonkey/seamonkey (no such file or directory" | 23:01 |
| mercury00 | oicory: depending on how the script is called and how it exits | 23:01 |
| mercury00 | iocory: is seamonkey executable? I haven't seen your previous conversation but thought I'd ask | 23:02 |
| c_smith | OiCory: that points to either it calling the seamonkey executable wrong, or like mercury00 said, the executable isn't actually marked as executable. | 23:03 |
| mercury00 | oicory: is /that/ seamonkey file a symlink to a nonexistant file? | 23:03 |
| mercury00 | iocory: I'd 1) make sure you can ls that exact file name (caps, extension, etc), and if so, ls -Flah that file to see if it's a symlink or something, or in the terminal just run 'file /path/to/seamonkey' and see what it says about the file | 23:05 |
| SonikkuAmerica | bbiab | 23:05 |
| OiCory | mercury00 & c_smith : It is executable, I just used chmod a+x /opt/seamonkey and they physical file is in /opt/seamonkey the symlink is in /usr/local/bin | 23:05 |
| mercury00 | iocory: file will say either it's a symlink, a script, or a binary executable | 23:05 |
| mercury00 | iocory: ah. | 23:06 |
| OiCory | actually there isnt a symlink in /usr/local/bin | 23:06 |
| OiCory | should I make one | 23:06 |
| OiCory | ? | 23:07 |
| mercury00 | Anyone an NFS/idmapd expert? | 23:07 |
| mercury00 | iocory: if you like, so that seamonkey is in the path. IE, if you type 'which seamonkey' on the terminal now, what does it say? | 23:07 |
| Dr_willis | once you figure out what command in /opt/seamonkey/ works. you make a script in /usr/local/bin to cd to that dir, and run that command | 23:07 |
| OiCory | mercury00: typing "which seamonkey" results in nothing | 23:08 |
| mercury00 | iocory: oh yeah, what dr_willis says, make a script because the rest of the seamonkey files may want to be in the current working directory when called | 23:08 |
| Dr_willis | id check askubuntu.com to seeif they got some info on setting up seamonkey | 23:09 |
| OiCory | all the executable files in the folder give the same error, that the file or folder isnt found | 23:09 |
| MelRay | WNDR4500 dual band router..getting static ip's next week so I can run my own services. I will use one in my router configuration, but am unsure how I will point the other 4 back to services I want to run on the server? like ftp, mail,apache | 23:09 |
| mercury00 | iocory: yes so, currently seamonkey is not in the path, so placing a script in /usr/local/bin will change that. again, I'd suggest using pushd when changing the working directory in a script | 23:09 |
| mercury00 | melray: will you install dd-wrt or other such open firmware? | 23:10 |
| Dr_willis | OiCory, you may want to ask in #seamonkey if it exists | 23:10 |
| OiCory | mercury00: so the script should look like #!/bin/sh | 23:10 |
| OiCory | pushd /opt/seamonkey2/seamonkey | 23:10 |
| MelRay | mercury00: I had not planned on it, though had looked on open router | 23:10 |
| OiCory | ./seamonkey & ? | 23:10 |
| mercury00 | melray: it's pretty simple in something like dd-wrt, but fine in other router software too, just suggesting dd-wrt because it's extremely customizable and has so many possbile features, | 23:11 |
| * Dr_willis noticed in the seamonkey archives theres a 'run-mozilla.sh' | 23:11 | |
| Dr_willis | so THATS what you run | 23:11 |
| OiCory | Dr_willis: btw there is not #seamonkey | 23:12 |
| Dr_willis | !lis | 23:12 |
| Dr_willis | !alis | 23:12 |
| ubottu | alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 23:12 |
| MelRay | mercury00: So what kind of risk is there in flashing my firmware over to use it? I assume the usual you could really bork your router if you don't follow the directions? | 23:12 |
| mercury00 | oicory: ah, right, seamonkey needs to set up all kinds of env and profile stuff, so I think something like run-mozilla.sh does that | 23:12 |
| mercury00 | melray: anyway, you're basically just looking for port forwarding. | 23:13 |
| Gabboz | MelRay, just don't flash over wifi and if you have a UPC, plug the devices into that to avoid power failure. | 23:13 |
| OiCory | mercury00 dr_willis: ok so I go to /opt/seamonkey and run it? | 23:13 |
| Dr_willis | OiCory, try it and see.. i said earlier theres most likely a script you run... | 23:13 |
| MelRay | mercury00: Got ya..thanks...you too Gabboz | 23:13 |
| mercury00 | melray: yes, you can totally brick the router, so if you do the firmware update, be sure to carefully read the readme's twice. | 23:13 |
| Dr_willis | Lots of SeaMonkey developers and users also gather on IRC in the #seamonkey channel on irc.mozilla.org | 23:14 |
| Dr_willis | from the seamonkey homepage/docs... | 23:14 |
| Gabboz | MelRay, to add.. DD isn't for everyone.. for many TomatoUSB is a great alternative(based on DD) that has a simpler interface. | 23:14 |
| mercury00 | melray: I updated my 3700 and it was actually extremely easy. I just used the router's own tool, reset, and was done. | 23:14 |
| tones | Dr_Willis are you a developer? | 23:14 |
| Dr_willis | nope | 23:14 |
| mercury00 | melray: but having said that, I did my homework and made sure I had exactly the right firmware files, and also I crossed my fingers. | 23:15 |
| MelRay | mercury00: Ahh like backing up the firmware to an earlier version... | 23:15 |
| ur0pl | the panel on the left does not show up when i start my window maanger, the onyl one thing i can think of is to reinstall ubuntu, but i do not want to do that... i rather fix the problem rather than run from it | 23:15 |
| OiCory | my parents randomly decided to bust up in my appartment. lol brb, | 23:15 |
| Gabboz | MelRay, another thing, hit the search engines and reference your router and DD/tomato and read up on potential pitfalls others may have experienced with flashing. | 23:16 |
| mercury00 | melray: yes, all the router's I've used have a built in way to upgrade the bios from for example a file downloaded from the manufacturers web site, | 23:16 |
| mercury00 | melray: anyway, what I do on my own network is tell my router the MAC address of my server, and assign it a static ip from the router side, then, set up all the port forwarding to that ip address | 23:17 |

| flx1rc1 | df | 23:33 |
| Archguy | cheers | 23:33 |
| Gabboz | RudeViper, you mean you cant access because of permission? | 23:34 |
| MelRay | Gotta run thanks everyone for the help! | 23:34 |
| Archguy | not exactly actually df doesn't give me exactly that sort of output, I don't see labels or type | 23:34 |
| flx1rc1 | RudeViper, prolly your samba config is not all setup | 23:34 |
| RudeViper | I am not sure - It either doesn't show up - or when I rebooted now it just says can't caccess disc01 | 23:35 |
| flx1rc1 | df -T for type | 23:35 |
| zykotick9 | Archguy: i've never seen that exact output, so not sure. but "sudo blkid" will show labels... good luck. | 23:35 |
| RudeViper | I'm sorry - I typed that wrong - it says can't mount the drive | 23:36 |
| th0r | RudeViper: have you installed samba? Have you installed swat? Have you defined shares for both shared partitions? | 23:36 |
| ur0pl | i'm reinstalling ubuntu. this is getting as bad as windows | 23:36 |
| th0r | RudeViper: have you defined samba users, and given them samba passwords? | 23:37 |

| facmed | but still doen't run the script after reboot | 23:39 |
| facmed | if I run "/home/facmed/.scripts/run.sh" it work fine | 23:39 |
| facmed | *"sh/home/facmed/.scripts/run.sh" | 23:39 |
| RudeViper | Actually I have never seen a samba setup tutorial - I was following a set of instructions I posted above - but I'll go look for one | 23:40 |
| RudeViper | But even if I don't find the answer - this won't be the place I look again | 23:40 |
| flx1rc1 | lol ok | 23:40 |
| facmed | no one ;_; | 23:43 |
| flx1rc1 | facmed: ive never tried that @reboot thing in my crontab | 23:43 |
| flx1rc1 | ive used initd | 23:44 |
| facmed | initd? | 23:44 |
| flx1rc1 | yeah | 23:44 |
| flx1rc1 | initd | 23:44 |
| facmed | but i don't want to run my script in root mode | 23:45 |
| flx1rc1 | init is the first process that starts in user mode after reboot, initd can launch other processes basically you can add a boot-up script i think htats what youre trying to do | 23:45 |
| facmed | only normal user | 23:45 |
| facmed | it is hard to learn? | 23:45 |
| flx1rc1 | haha | 23:46 |
| flx1rc1 | only for some | 23:46 |
| flx1rc1 | read this | 23:46 |
| flx1rc1 | http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 | 23:46 |
| facmed | ok, thanks | 23:48 |
| facmed | just one more question | 23:48 |
| facmed | this is my script | 23:48 |
| facmed | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5731071/ | 23:48 |
| OiCory | ok I'm back | 23:48 |
| facmed | Can I run this by init.d without problems? | 23:48 |
| flx1rc1 | only 1 way to find out | 23:48 |

| OiCory | Ok, so I am trying to install Seamonkey, I extracted it to /opt/seamonkey, created a symlink in /usr/loca/bin and tried to run 'run-mozilla.sh' but it says cannot execute | 23:54 |
| Jordan_U | OiCory: Please don't paraphrase error messages. What is the exact text of the error message? | 23:55 |
| jrib | OiCory: is there a reason you don't just use firefox (and benefit from repository updates) | 23:55 |
| jrib | oh wait I'm thinking of iceweasel | 23:56 |
| OiCory | i didnt paraphrase. it says "run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute." | 23:56 |
| OiCory | jrib: yea I want it because it is a webdesign suite | 23:56 |
| flx1rc1 | , eh is your sh script executable? | 23:57 |
| flx1rc1 | chmod +x ? | 23:57 |
| SuperLag | beat me to it | 23:57 |
| OiCory | flx1rc1: yup, | 23:57 |
| SuperLag | ls -l | 23:57 |
| SuperLag | put the perms here | 23:57 |
| OiCory | SuperLag: -rwxr-xr-x 1 cory cory 8915 Jun 3 19:15 | 23:58 |
| SuperLag | sure enough. | 23:58 |
| SuperLag | odd | 23:58 |
| jrib | OiCory: is there a reason you don't use one of the PPAs at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SeaMonkey ? | 23:58 |
| flx1rc1 | you could also try to source it | 23:58 |
| flx1rc1 | . run-mozilla.sh | 23:58 |
| SuperLag | flx1rc1: what's the difference? | 23:59 |
| OiCory | jrib: I tried to install it via package manager by adding ppa:bratherlui/seamonkey | 23:59 |
| flx1rc1 | SuperLag: between what | 23:59 |
| OiCory | jrib: And it doesnt show even after apt-get update | 23:59 |
| jrib | OiCory: what ubuntu version are you using? | 23:59 |
