[00:06] 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] how to fox this? [00:06] fix8 [00:06] * is actually ubuntiv, but thrown out due to network issue [00:06] * ubuntivitiy is actually ubuntiv, but thrown out due to network issue [00:07] ubuntivitiy: what's the last thing you saw from me? [00:07] Is there a simple way to remove Unity and return to the older Gnome? [00:07] ulkesh: I asked you about if DNS was necessary, and saw nothing after that [00:07] zephyr: There's a "GNOME2 Fallback Mode" IIRC, which is what you probably want. [00:07] 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] Does anybody know how can I reduce the size of many photos in Command line? [00:07] ubuntivitiy: it's not necessary, but it means you'd have to know your IP address (and have a static IP) [00:07] DeltaHeavy, is Gnome no longer being developed? [00:08] 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] ulkesh: or even when the IP is not static, I simply have to know what it became and connect to it, right? [00:08] ubuntivitiy: yes, correct [00:08] mojtaba, http://www.howtogeek.com/109369/how-to-quickly-resize-convert-modify-images-from-the-linux-terminal/ [00:09] ubuntivitiy: hi [00:09] ubuntivitiy: you pinged out [00:09] DeltaHeavy, gotcha, thanks! [00:09] zephyr: Thanks [00:09] ubuntivitiy: so it looks like you just set up port forwarding on your router as normal and you're golden [00:09] hi, gordonjcp . It appeared for me as if the channel went suddenly silent! [00:10] That's what I plan to do inshallah.. Wish me luck :) [00:10] Ugh...why is my Ubuntu dead T_T I need it to work [00:10] 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 [00:11] ulkesh: what should it be called in the router menus? [00:11] ubuntivitiy: what should what be called? (time to be specific :) ) [00:12] the software feature built-in into router firmware :) [00:12] 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] 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] I feel I'm being thrown away again! [00:13] ubuntivitiy: I believe the daemon ulkesh is talking about is 'ddclient' [00:13] DeltaHeavy: yeah that sounds familiar (haven't run it in some time) [00:13] ubuntivitiy: Are you trying to yeild the same results as a static external address? [00:13] DeltaHeavy: well he's trying to get ssh inbound, but i suggested dynamic dns as well to help (once his port forward is done) [00:14] ulkesh: I remember seeing a "dynamic DNS" in my router, but not sure where to find it :/ [00:14] ubuntivitiy: i'm sorry, i won't know [00:14] ulkesh: What's the make/model of the router? [00:14] ubuntivitiy: i'd google your router name/type and dynamic dns to see if you can get a screenshot of your web config [00:15] I've never heard of a router offering dynamic DNS services. [00:15] just did so, ulkesh , loading a related page :_ [00:15] 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] DeltaHeavy: my netgear N750 does [00:15] DeltaHeavy: it is just a client, not a service [00:16] Yeah, before port forwarding SSH I suggest you worry about actually accessing your home network. Gotta do them both so w/e. [00:16] found it :) [00:16] DeltaHeavy: but it allows you not to have to install it on a machine on the network [00:16] ulkesh: You still need a server for a client, that's what I'd call a service :p [00:16] DeltaHeavy: well they go hand-in-hand :) [00:16] DeltaHeavy: yes, i told him dyndns.org [00:16] and it has already an entry for dyndns.org [00:16] Yeah, I suggest dyndns.org [00:17] ubuntivitiy: If you need a deamon to update your entry I suggest ddclient. Really easy to install and is configured via TUI. [00:17] 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] trying to get some stuff done on python, but windows is being a bitch [00:17] about to figure out how to dual boot w/ ubuntu and win7 [00:17] comradzilla: What's Windows doing? [00:17] i need to use pip to install pycurl [00:18] and i need distribute to use pip [00:18] comradzilla: I suggest a VM for development. A lot easy to manage than 2 native installations IMO. [00:18] just to run one script [00:18] vm? virtual manager? [00:18] i'm green, speak engrish please :) [00:18] comradzilla: Virtual Machine. I suggest VirtualBox for Windows. [00:19] okay thank you [00:19] 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 [00:19] comradzilla: No problem. [00:19] ulkesh: dyndns stopped doing free sadly. noip is best now [00:19] 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] ubuntivitiy: most welcome, good luck! [00:19] daftykins: really? dang, i've had an account for at least 10 years so i dunno anymore :) [00:20] is virtual box free? [00:20] comradzilla: yes [00:20] comradzilla: Yes === talueses is now known as _unknown [00:20] Thanks ulkesh , http://www.dnsdynamic.org/ can replace dyndns,org, right? [00:20] 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] ubuntivitiy: don't know, check to see what your router can configure to [00:21] ubuntivitiy: Looks like their client was made for Windows. [00:21] daftykins: hmm, well if they're cheap enough i don't mind paying, but it better be like $3/mo/host :) [00:21] Yeah, dyndns isn't a lot of money to shell out, especially if you're buying annually. [00:21] ^_^ [00:21] dlinkddns.com is provided on my router [00:21] VirtualBox 4.2.12 for Windows hosts x86/amd64 <--- that's what i need correct? [00:22] So does something like "774897664 bytes (775 MB) copied, 110.046 s, 7.0 MB/s [00:22] " mean dd is done copying? [00:22] ubuntivitiy: I'd say that may be the best route to go [00:22] DeltaHeavy: cool, thanks [00:22] Aww: Yep [00:22] Aww: if it returned to the prompt yes [00:22] ulkesh: np [00:22] Okay, it just did thanks :D [00:22] 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] Good, DeltaHeavy . Thanks [00:22] 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? [00:23] 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.. [00:23] I gotta go sleep now, Thanks again and good night everybode [00:23] *everybody [00:23] ubuntivitiy: g'nite [00:23] Night, I'm going to give up on my issue for the time being and punch out till later. Thanks to anybody who read my question! [00:23] * ubuntivitiy is feeling happy to be in such a nice IRC channel === walid is now known as Bakkar [00:24] ubuntivitiy: it's a pay-it-forward thing :) we all got help at some point, and still need help from time to time as well [00:24] ya, you're all very helpful [00:24] thanks guys [00:25] indeed [00:25] can someone get me my chocolate from the kitchen? this sofa is seriously comfy... [00:25] daftykins: time to build a robot with some arduino/raspberry pi :) [00:25] one that can navigate stairs [00:26] ulkesh: of course :) In the future, if I see someone asking about DDNS and stuff I can explain to them what I learned today :)) [00:26] daftykins: hell yes! [00:26] Should I try editing my grub settings? Would that pull through? [00:26] ubuntv: awesome, thanks and again good luck! === ubuntv is now known as ubuntiv [00:26] any idea where log is being written if I use 'log_end_msg 0' in my startup script? [00:27] ks_: probably in /var/log/? [00:28] nogal: apparently, but nothing there [00:30] hello. I have a question regarding volume. I see i can raise the volume above 100%, what does this mean? [00:31] is it a bug in dpkg-configure, should I try working with initramfs manually instead? === omichalek is now known as bng [00:32] night all, time to prepare for some Game of Thrones :) [00:33] hi all, can you help me, please? my unity lost window decorations and the desktop is barely usable :/ [00:34] open a terminal, then find the pid of compiz and kill it [00:34] it should restart again and things will be fine [00:34] Znoosey: it now happens after each reboot, but I will try it [00:35] it used to happen to me all the time [00:35] there was some patches a while back that made it better [00:35] but it still crashes from time to time [00:35] is there a game like the old wArcraft i believe it was called freecraft or something for ubuntu? [00:36] ugh got kicked offline... [00:36] Znoosey: like "killall compiz"? [00:36] that doesnt help [00:37] 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 [00:38] 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] 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 [00:39] Znoosey: the problem appeared only after I booted up again [00:39] thanks for the tip Znoosey [00:39] bng, ps -A | grep -i compiz then kill with kill [00:40] ubuntu22: it's already killed it seems, that doesnt return anything [00:41] okay, i just got virtualbox [00:41] any tips to make ubuntu and easy installation? [00:41] I can move some of the windows for wxample terminal, but no windows have the window decoration [00:42] and I have no unity panel also [00:42] an* [00:44] I've just learned that there is not process with unity in it's name running, when I run "unity" in terminal it gives me some errors [00:45] st. like" compiz (opengl) - fatal: glxquerry... is null for screen 0 === Guest24881 is now known as Logan_ [00:47] 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.. [00:47] is there maybe a package I should reinstall? I am on intel graphics === Logan_ is now known as Guest5998 === Guest5998 is now known as Logan_ === Logan_ is now known as Guest36164 [00:49] i really hope i didn't just break grub [00:49] gonna reboot and see if i solved my issue myself here [00:49] brb [00:51] lightdm is the login screen or is it something with window management? [00:55] ugh well that didn't go as planned [00:55] should I maybe sudo dkpg-reconfigure some packages? the last time I had an issue like this was several releases back... :/ [00:56] ubuntu 13.04, kernel 3.8.0-23-generic im trying to add a bitmap to an array built with mdadm. mdadm accepts my command, then when i look at /proc/mdstat the bitmap information seems wrong and i get error messages in dmesg [00:57] heres the kernel error: http://pastebin.com/aqHJXhhY [00:57] Knock knock. [00:57] Knock knock. [00:57] and heres the /proc/mdstat http://pastebin.com/YmAV8arK [00:59] No! Am I in trouble now?! http://i.imgur.com/7uICLJ8.png [00:59] How is this possible? I've been using Ubuntu for a week and installed nothing out of the repository! [01:00] perhaps its a false positive [01:01] !named.conf [01:01] sudo vim grub [01:01] wrong terminal sorry [01:01] can I imitate login to local desktop in a startup script? [01:02] deadlyninja: Perhaps?! [01:02] at the moment I have rdesktop -u ubuntu -p abc localhost in /etc/init.d/parallelSession start, but looks like it doesn't kick in at all. [01:03] mood629: why dont you check [01:03] ubuntu server 12.04 I don't see my dns entries in /etc/bind/named.conf or any others...but dig local shows the domain and ip associated. Would it be storing the live file some where else? [01:03] deadlyninja: What are you talking about? Shut up if you can't help, retard. [01:03] mood629: what is your problem. i cant check it for you [01:05] a [01:06] anybody there [01:06] so strange when all channels stop having activity [01:06] a little [01:06] madprops: only bots are here [01:06] Hello, having an issue with owncloud server. Clients can connect to server via program and http. both receive erros. clients connecting via sync program receive: server replied: service Temporarily Unavailable [01:06] Http clients receive: failed to connect to database [01:08] I'm not a bot, and if anybody could help me with my unity, that would be great! :) [01:09] none of them knew they were robots [01:10] * Dr_willis likes FemBots [01:11] hi, has someone been able to make skype work on ubuntu 13.04? [01:11] it crashes for me whenever i try to make audio or video calls [01:11] carpediembaby, i recall there being some tweaks and fix's and work arounds mentioned from time to time. askubuntu.com may have a list of them [01:11] did you install the NVIDIA card? [01:12] When you install the NVIDIA drivers for ubuntu 13.04 it causes Skype to crash [01:12] This is a possible cause === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [01:13] skype is crap [01:13] * ks_ uses really secure chat software [01:13] http://askubuntu.com/questions/285642/skype-crashes-with-a-segmentation-fault/285916#285916 [01:13] personally I prefer the new Google Hangouts, seems to work very well with Ubuntu [01:14] and fuck nvidia too [01:14] :) [01:14] Install Chrome and the Hangouts extension [01:15] Does LogMeIn work on Ubuntu? [01:16] their website dosent mention linux. [01:16] I meant accessing someone else's machine? [01:17] I don't want to go back to Windows. :( [01:17] theres other remote access methods then 'logmein' [01:17] so details of what you want to do.. will help us help you [01:17] I'll just try logging in then [01:18] ubuntu has remote desktop, and SSH access, if you enable them [01:18] regarding my unity screwup, the graphics recovery option from boot menu under kernel 3.8 is not able to repair my problem [01:18] vnc, ssh, teamviewer, others i bet i never have used... ;) [01:18] NVIDIA? [01:19] If I ssh to localhost (if that's a good idea) does that mean my whole system is encrypted or only that ssh session i that shell? [01:19] haha bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory [01:19] mind sharing the name [01:20] oh that came out late, ks_ I was refering to your secure chat software [01:20] python|pi, encryptd in what way? ssh uses encryption for its data.. [01:20] all of my internet traffic Dr_willis [01:20] madprops: Jitsi [01:20] python|pi, you doing a ssh tunnel? or what? [01:20] Jitsi has potential, but it's buggy [01:20] browser and everything I type Dr_willis be it browser, messengers etc [01:21] pidgin with OTR is better for text chat [01:21] no just ssh to localhost does that create a streaming loop to my 192.168.*.*? [01:21] paul__: that could work too [01:21] python|pi, i dont see what you are gaining by doing that. [01:21] xchat also has OTR [01:22] ok [01:22] guys, can I do sudo dpkg-reconfigure ubuntu-desktop, will that achieve anything, I really don't want to reinstall now [01:22] you have to install it from the repos though [01:22] thanks Dr_willis [01:22] bng, i doubt if that would fix much of anyuthing.. clarify what the actual issue is. [01:23] Dr_willis: my unity panels are gone, the window decorations too and unity/compiz seems not to load due to some errors [01:24] Dr_willis: I accidentally installed nvidia driver, even though I have no nvidia card, I am on intel graphics, i uninstalled it then [01:24] bng, id install some alternative desktop to use, while you work in fixing unity/compiz. ive seen Unitycompiz get all confused by video drivers that ARE working and just fail to load. also test with a newly made user. see if he has the same issue [01:24] This rude guy PMed me for not running Linux. [01:25] bng, double check your /etc/X11/xorg.conf file also. you really shouldent need one on intel [01:25] maybe purge the NVIDIA drivers? [01:26] paul__: will try [01:26] Dr_willis: it shouldn't be there at all? [01:26] bng, i dont have one on my intel ssytems.. rename it if it exists [01:28] Thank you to nigger [01:28] You one of them smart niggers [01:29] python|pi: stop witht he racist comments [01:29] python|pi, learn to use the /ignore command [01:29] there is no xorg.conf, but I just discovered I still had some nvidia packages installed (!) [01:29] rebooting now [01:29] I think its funny Dr_willis I'm flattered [01:29] fishedhoo is trolling people. :( [01:29] python|pi, keep it up and the ops may boot you instead.. [01:29] Hexagonite: me too [01:29] Hexagonite: report to the ops [01:29] and not even cloaked Hexagonite [01:30] noob [01:30] there is the #ubuntu-ops channel for reporting things i belive [01:32] Hey, if i want to find all instances of '70' in a file, i try grep '70' myfile, and it responds 'Binary file final_merged.sam matches', how can i make it work like normal? [01:34] k [01:35] Dr_willis, paul__ , so now I got the window decorations back, after purging nvidia-common and nvidia-304-updates, but there are still no unity panels === Inoperable is now known as Inoperabled [01:37] see if a new user works. [01:38] theres some unity reset command. but forget what it was called [01:38] oh it's not a prob Dr_willis I'm not even surprised at the childishness. I have a soul with girth [01:39] Dr_willis: nothing with unity in its name is running, and killall compiz just destroyed the decorations again, restarting again [01:39] sir,in ubuntu can we learn about assembly?,and what we use to it? [01:39] well compiz is what handles the window decoration ;) [01:39] zehexx, theres assembly language tools in the repos [01:40] Dr_willis: well somebody here mentioned killikng it, or maybe it was unity [01:40] restarting unity may be a better idea ;) if it still takes that argument [01:40] *we use to do it? [01:40] unity --restart or unity --reset [01:40] zehexx, the gcc tools can do assembly, and theres more then one assemblyer i recall. [01:41] assembly language is rarely used these days :) [01:42] http://asm.sourceforge.net/ the Linux Assembly website! [01:44] 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] dr_willis thx for link, i will try to check it [01:50] in terminal bash can we check what is our processor type? [01:50] zehexx: cat /proc/cpuinfo [01:50] such as x86? [01:53] 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???? [01:54] somsip thx, i have read it, but i not found word x86, or similiar with it [01:54] gnome is still mostly: broken [01:55] just some word and number info [01:56] zehexx: uname -a then [01:56] zehexx: strictly speaking that tells you what kernel you are running, but it would normally match the capabilities of the CPU [01:57] does anyone got empathy working yet? === andrex is now known as andrex|off [01:57] Dr_willis: so I created a new account and it has unity rnning alright... should I delete some of my .config files or similar? [01:57] yeppers [01:58] Dr_willis: any hint which? [01:58] ugh.... i can't find a fix for this problem and it only happens in ubuntu, no other distro. [01:58] and how to view cpu register as graphic just now how its work [01:58] still can't get my TTY windows to appear correctly [01:59] and how to view cpu register as graphic just to know how its work [02:00] teh only thing that remotely works is reconfiguring the console data, but once I reload X it sets it back to it's broken appearance [02:00] anyone have any other ideas? [02:01] if I set grub to vga mode, it takes away all visual to the TTY [02:02] fishedhoo: why are you PMing me about drugs? [02:03] 22:01 Idea. First stop doing drugs [02:03] 22:02 excuse me?

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 [02:08] DeltaHeavy: the vdi is now missing/unavailable and you are wondering why you are seeing issues?

[02:09] DeltaHeavy: before starting the Ubuntu VM? [02:09] Gumby: Yes, I can boot the VM so the .vdi is there. [02:09] I'm not even sure if this is what caused the problem, as the VM runs, I just can't log into Ubuntu. [02:10] perhaps the /home partition isnt mounting [02:10] Dr_willis: after backing the whole .config, I have the desktop back, thank you!

[02:12] are there any other desktops/sessions to choose from at login?

[02:51] but now I'm asked the password, what is it? [02:51] mojtaba, i always end up having to google for examples [02:52] anyone? [02:53] i would think that would disable the user from logging in.. [02:53] is there a way to start screen in a certain directoy [02:53] what command did you use exactly angelazou ? [02:53] i have a weird problem. i am dual booting Win7 and ubutnu 13.04. after i use 13.04 and reboot back into win7 My windows audio dose not work. i have to pop out my cmos battery to fix it. its definatly Ubuntu triggering this. i can reproduce it at will. what the heck is causing it? [02:53] fellayaboy, check the screen man pages? or its startup script feature? there shoul dbe a way [02:54] hmm [02:54] dr_willis: sudo adduser --system --shell /bin/bash --gecos 'git version control' --group --disabled-password --home /home/git git [02:56] angelazou: Why not go to "User accounts" and create a user and enable "automatic login" [02:56] to me that seems far easier than the command line route [02:56] paul__because I'm on a server not a desktop [02:56] ah got ya [02:57] that would certainly explain it hehe === Jikan is now known as Jikai [02:57] so.. you think --disabled-password will let you auto login? [02:58] dr_willis: I'm following a setup [02:58] angelazou, well i dont get what you are trying to do.. [02:59] I have only a blurry idea of what I'm doing, so please [02:59] --disabled-password [02:59] Like --disabled-login, but logins are still possible for example [02:59] through SSH RSA keys, but not using password authentication. [02:59] if you know what is the password, just let me know [02:59] It dosent let you auto login.. it disables where you can use a password [02:59] well, that makes no sense [02:59] so you MUST use the keys. [02:59] why does it still prompt password when I do sudo [02:59] i dont get what you think it should be doing.. it makes sence to me [02:59] what key dr_willis? [02:59] the ssh key. [03:00] passphrase for the ssh key? [03:00] i imagine you have effectively disabled sudo for that user [03:00] 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] are you trying to disable the user password, or the sudo password? [03:00] like I said, I'm just following this setup http://silas.sewell.org/blog/2011/01/08/setup-gitolite-on-ubuntu/ [03:01] I really don't have a precise idea of what that was [03:01] so later it wants you to do somthing as git and sudo? [03:01] ??? [03:02] --disabled-password sounds to me like it disables using the normal login: method as that user. [03:02] you can only ssh in and auth via allready made keys [03:02] the server channels may know more about this. [03:03] How terribly terrible would it be to use drivers from nvidia's website? [03:04] this site specifically mentions git user, and that option -- --disabled-password http://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/56765/creating-an-user-without-a-password [03:04] niocora, if the repos work. its best to use them. [03:04] if they dont.. well.. the ones from nvidia.com may or may not work [03:04] there are ppas with newer nvidia drivers also [03:05] Dr_willis: I don't think they are. They killed unity. [03:05] niocora, ive seen unity get confused when the drivers are working. ;() [03:05] Well I get no bars with unity. [03:05] niocora, tried making a new user see if unity works for them yet? as a test. [03:05] No. [03:06] niocora, way too common a problem.. seen it happen when my video drivers were in fact working correctly [03:06] 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' ? [03:06] Chris_W_, i just run the apt-get upgrade and look.. [03:06] My drivers are working (I think) [03:07] theres that motd line/script that can show the # that can be updated. but not details [03:07] I'll try making a new user account. [03:08] any indonesian here [03:09] Dr_willis: i just thought that seemed a little silly, to have to run the program again, just to see that there aren't any updates. [03:09] :( [03:10] adohhh...

After that you might need to dig about a bit more [05:14] jony_easyrider: dmesg will give you the messages for the webcam, but running something that access the cam, like cheese, might be the easiest way [05:19] ok so i have a .xession that loads my window manager and needed apps, works great on ubuntu server, now i need the same to happen in ubuntu desktop, how do i get it to loads the window manager i specific in .xession? [05:21] mike00: IIRC it depends on what WM you want to run. Does anything here help you? http://is.gd/g5f5CO [05:23] somsip: i was on that page, i just dont understand fully what its saying to do in regards for my problem =( [05:23] mike00: what WM will you be starting? === Jikan is now known as Jikai [05:23] matchbox-window-manager [05:26] mike00: so .xsession should contain the bash shebang and exec matchbox-window-manager? [05:26] yeah. matchbox-window-manager & [05:26] works in ubuntu server [05:26] mike00: do you have any other WMs installed on the desktop? [05:27] on my desktop.. its a desktop [05:27] so yeah the default [05:27] 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] 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 [05:28] which are you referring to? [05:28] on the server, no. on the desktop yes. [05:28] mike00: what WM is on the desktop now [05:28] whatever default is [05:29] #bash [05:29] mike00: how did you install matchbox wm? [05:30] just with apt-get install [05:30] mike00: when you first try to log into the desktop, can you choose the default session from some dropdown menu? [05:30] no [05:31] not sure what you are asking. [05:31] everything works as default, my .xessions is pretty much ignored. [05:32] 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 [05:33] nobody? [05:33] maybe another time... [05:34] ill check back tomorrow... maybe i'll get some help then... take it easy dudes... it's late anyway [05:42] matchbox has always been a very weird window manager/desktop ;) [05:44] Hi i am getting a segmentation fault while my code is being executed.Can anybody please tell me where the core is dumped in 12.10 ? [05:44] Hi i am getting a segmentation fault while my code is being executed.Can anybody please tell me where the core is dumped in 12.10 ? I am using g++ and i already checked /var/crash . [05:44] normally in the current working directory i thought quick- . [05:45] its possible coredumps are disabled also. i cant recall seeing one in ages on ubuntu. [05:46] somsip: booting into text mode, fixes it all and make it work =D [05:46] Dr_willis: It's not there in the current working directory. How can i enable it if you remember ? :) [05:46] quick-, no idea. askubuntu.com may know [05:46] Dr_willis: Thank you for the headsup. I ll check :) [05:46] if they are disabled.. i cant recall ever seeing anything that coredumped/segfaulted making one in ubuntu.. that i ca [05:47] that i can recall in a loooong time [05:48] matchbox made a entry in the Login screen session manager list here mike00 [05:50] 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] You select it at the login screen correct. [05:51] or just Logout.. and select matchbox. ;) [05:51] let me just say that.. well.. matchbox - is not very useable it seems :) [05:51] 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] its only used to launch a browser window, its not a usable desktop. [05:51] it runs. it runs apps.. but i sure cant say its very functional [05:52] mike00: yeah - you're doing a kiosk thing [05:52] mike00: yeah - you're doing a kiosk thing? [05:52] matchbox was supposed to be a embeded device desktop ages ago. [05:52] Dr_willis: id idnt know where was a place to select window manager, but i needed it to autologin anyways. [05:52] somsip: yes. [05:52] once you select the desktop on the login screen it rembers [05:52] or you edit the .dmrc file [05:52] 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] which is what lightdm reads/saves [05:52] whats different between lightdm and nodm? [05:52] if you need a tiny window manager for a koisk. you may want to use jwm. [05:53] !info nodm [05:53] 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] never used nodm. so no idea [05:53] im using that to autologin. :: shrug :: [05:53] lightdm is the default login session manager. theres a little gear/icon next to the users name to select the session [05:54] I definatly recall there being some Koisk-focused disrtos out there that did most all the work for you. ;) [05:54] 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. [05:55] Dr_willis: yeah - i dont need to lock controls down just needed it to boot up into a full screen browser, got it working =D [05:56] hi [05:56] .dmrc for matchbox looks like this (2 lines) [05:56] [Desktop] [05:56] Session=matchbox [05:56] Is rm- rf/ abolished? [05:57] ahhh niice! good to know. [05:57] Serelijah, its been disabled/nutered for some time now.. ;) [05:57] WHY WAS I BORN SO LATE!? [05:58] i think i fixed the stupid audio output error :D (it helped switching the front panel audio from HD to AC97) although, i still have the mount problem [05:59] But, how easy is it to create a terrible, terrible failure with command-line Linux nowadays? [05:59] Serelijah: what support need are you trying to address in doing that? [05:59] Serelijah: it's still easy :P [06:00] Serelijah, with root all things are possible. [06:00] * Mathias gets the poking stick [06:00] * Mathias pokes /bin/mount [06:01] carefull.. you will put someones eye out. === Dr_willis is now known as Dr_Wlls [06:01] See! you got both my i's [06:02] :o [06:02] How much less of a man should I be feeling if I have no Linux/Unix experience? [06:02] Serelijah, the chicks dig guys that know how to use linux. [06:02] imo? extremely :> [06:03] you could always make up for it by claiming to be a 'power gamer' or a top MMORPG player ;P [06:03] or overclock your system to 8 GHz === Dr_Wlls is now known as Dr_Willis [06:03] you might need some liquid nitrogen for it, but it'll be worth it [06:05] IMO it's more fun to have the nitrogen flood the house and the overclock be unfettered and free. (kaboom) [06:06] just get some non conducting liquid and submerge your whole computer in it [06:07] mineral oil? [06:08] magma [06:08] liquid hydrogen === mmrazik|afk is now known as mmrazik [06:09] So yeah, is virtualbox my best option if I have no idea or experience how to go through all that partition crap? [06:10] virtualbox is handy for testing out linux in windows. [06:10] im running Lubuntu in vbox right now [06:10] #1 vbox tip.. Read its manual. [06:10] i'm going the opposite way, windows in a vm :P [06:11] When I installed ubuntu 12.04 dual boot, the installer did all the partitions for me [06:11] although, the installer might need some tuning with the swap-partition [06:13] I would still like to keep my options open because I haven't experienced enough to choose a distro. [06:13] Hello everybody. [06:13] hello [06:13] \o [06:14] Serelijah, best? It's certainly better than the live boot option. As far as choosing a distro? There are dozens. Choose one. Try it out for a reasonable time: 30 days at least IMO. If you're unsatisfied, try a different one. [06:14] NikTh, greetings [06:14] cfhowlett: You meant try one in vbox, yes? [06:15] 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] You could try ubuntu then install different desktop environments [06:15] Serelijah, exactly. remember that it will run slower in this settings, however. [06:15] NikTh, not sure pdf can load to LP but you certainly put your doc in Ubuntu One and then place a link [06:16] zip it? ;) [06:16] 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? [06:17] 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). [06:19] Dr_Willis: zip it ? (this was for my question ? sorry I didn't understood ) [06:20] 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 :) [06:21] if it dosent like a pdf file.. zip the pdf and see if it likes that. [06:22] But I cannot understand why the message of the fail (to upload to USC directly) included something like "....use a PPA..." [06:22] wonder if it likes .tex or other type docs [06:22] What's the quickest/most common way to accidentally destroy a PC with command line? [06:23] Serelijah: Uhhh.... [06:23] 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.. [06:24] Serelijah: Depends upon how willfully stupid the user is being? [06:24] Serelijah: Several commands exist for such "job". [06:24] I'd argue dd is up there, as is rm. [06:25] Serelijah: But can you define "destroy" a bit better? We talking physical damage? [06:25] If so, the old school X configuration would do it. [06:25] Serelijah: dd if=/dev/random of=/dev/of/hard/drive [06:26] Yeah..yeah.. command line power-users... :P [06:26] I'm talking "manage to screw up with only a few commands to destroy everything that's *on* the hard drive" [06:26] Serelijah: dd or rm, then. [06:27] histo: /dev/zero beats /dev/random in your example. [06:27] Search the Web Serelijah.. place the apppropriate key words on google and your "friend" will find an answer for you :) [06:27] histo: It's orders of magnitude faster. [06:27] what did dd do again? [06:27] Serelijah, if you have a virtualbox, just restore to an earlier, working point. [06:27] Serelijah: block level copying. [06:27] !dd [06:28] 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] Serelijah: dd writes data to block devices. [06:29] histo: I just ran a test. It's ~10x bigger from /dev/zero than /dev/random. :-) [06:29] Corey: what's 10x bigger? [06:30] histo: In ten seconds, /dev/random spat out 100MB of data, /dev/zero spat out 1.7GB [06:30] Same machine, same load profile, run sequentially. [06:30] /dev/urandom <3 [06:30] So I'm off, apparently in this case /dev/zero is 17x faster. :-) [06:30] so start 10 dd sessions from /dev/random! :) [06:30] Well eitherway will accomplish the same distruction [06:31] Mathias: Sorry, this was /dev/urandom. :-) [06:31] s/distruction/destruction/ [06:31] is /dev/urandom faster or slower? ;) [06:31] histo: Point is, "spitting out 0's" is a lot faster than random number generation. [06:32] Corey: spitting out 0's vs. random is not the bottleneck in the issue. [06:32] histo: What do you propose is the cause of this discrepency, then? [06:32] Corey: What are you outputting to? [06:32] Has anyone successfully gotten a wiimote to pair with VBA? [06:33] histo: In this case, "cat /dev/(urandom|zero) > file" [06:33] histo: Forgive me for not wanting to play with dd at this hour. :-) [06:34] histo: But try it yourself and see. I'd be curious / surprised if you couldn't replicate my results. [06:35] histo: I'm going to bed now, feel free to PM me. :-) [06:40] anyone know a good reference guide to help me with cli commands? [06:40] tons of them online anonymous [06:40] look for the Oreially 'useing bash' book if you can find it [06:40] !cli [06:40] thought i would ask if anyone had any good recommendations. :p [06:40] 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] look at delicious.com see what gets the most votes/tags ;) [06:41] thanks :D [06:41] and read read read... [06:41] will do :D cheers (y) [06:41] that Oreially books are most likely the top guides for learning bash. [06:41] 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] and they got tons of others [06:42] 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] amazing how much bash 'fundamentals' are easy to overlook. [06:42] yeah i got real confused with the apt-get install. i just used sofware center. [06:43] command -option argument [06:43] apt-get should be low on your list of stuff [06:43] rathe stright forward. ;) [06:43] apt-get install gamename [06:43] is about as simple as it gets. other then 'ls' and 'cd' ;P [06:44] I remember Rochester.edu having one somewhere...I remember it being quite good [06:44] (A guide, that is) [06:44] those i understand from using those in windows. [06:44] anonymous: what's confusing about apt-get install somepackage [06:44] a lot of colleges and i recall Intels (or was it ibms) site having some decent docs also at one time [06:45] histo: For one, finding out what the package is actually called [06:45] :p [06:45] Dr_Willis: It was IBM, I believe [06:45] samuraibsd: anonymous apt-cache search something [06:45] I wonder if that's still up... [06:45] i was trying to do it for java and eclipse [06:45] 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?) [06:46] histo: with my knowledge of linux i wouldnt of even known that command.. [06:46] 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] samuraibsd: apt-get has multiple man-pages iirc [06:47] Mathias: I wouldn't know. I've never actually bothered looking at them. But man pages are overlooked far too often. [06:47] I figured out most of the term stuff before I actually knew what man pages were :P [06:47] man pages - manual pages? [06:48] Yup. In terminal, just type "man " (without the punctuation) [06:48] anonymous: yes - try 'man man' [06:48] man date :P [06:48] haha [06:48] try man woman [06:48] example: man java [06:48] ? [06:48] phil00: are you booting with nomodeset? [06:48] No manual entry for woman [06:49] Darn. [06:49] anonymous: apt-cache search java && apt-cache search eclipse [06:50] 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] histo: no idea [06:50] samuraibsd: does the emulator support that type of input? [06:50] histo: i've done it now, but those were things i had trouble with. [06:50] phil00: grep nomodeset /etc/default/grub [06:51] okay, just a sec [06:51] 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] That was to histo, forgot to tab [06:51] it's not returning a thing [06:51] samuraibsd: Have you tried looking for support from that app specifically? Since you've confirmed it works with other apps? [06:52] phil00: okay then you aren't. Does xrandr show higher resolutions available? [06:52] 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] hi all [06:53] samuraibsd: http://askubuntu.com/search?q=wiimote [06:53] i have problem that i got sound in system and flash but not in games like eg. motorbike [06:53] histo: it shows the same resolutions I can access from the display dialog, and yes I have higher resolutions than that which I want [06:54] 1680x1050 1440x900, but I'm missing 1280x768 for example [06:54] phil00: does your monitor support those resolutions? [06:54] anyone suggest a lightweight browser besides Chromium? [06:54] yes, I used those before upgrading from 12.04 (to 13.04) [06:54] and it's the one I use on Windows [06:54] histo: Yeah, but it just keeps directing me to WiiCan, which seems to be abandoned [06:54] mike00: Epiphany [06:55] phil00: http://askubuntu.com/questions/63681/how-can-i-make-xrandr-customization-permanent [06:55] What' s a good purpose for a stack of blank CDs?

My decent monitor takes 1-2 secs and my cheap one take 3-5, so just thought i'd ask the obvious question [07:47] connectind1: I have GUFW and you can somehow enable it to alert you [07:47] salah: is the computer hibernating or sleeping? [07:47] Laiquendi , how to do that? [07:47] !details | hd5770 [07:47] hd5770: 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 ..." [07:47] connectind1: which system? [07:47] histo, nothing of these, just locking the screen because of the security rules here [07:48] connectind1: the problem is - I don't remember ;) But I did this some time ago, so it's doable.

[08:01] i tought the latest ubuntu come with default notification system [08:01] connectind1: 1- read the instructions on the website. 2 - follow them [08:02] will notify-send confict with the default [08:02] 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. [08:03] 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] intok: dns issues? [08:03] 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] intok: try ping google.com vs. doing a ping 8.8.8.8 [08:03] O.O [08:03] somsip , nothing appear after followed the instruction [08:04] connectind1: have you experienced an event that should show the popup? [08:04] should the script end with special extension [08:05] masuran as in it'll connect to a server move a small amount of data at full speed, then just stop and refuse to move anymore past that point for as much as 20 mins before allowing any connection to actually complete [08:05] connectind1: no, but it does need to be executable - chmod +x scriptname [08:06] 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? [08:09] 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] *30's [08:09] intok: strange issue. Can't offer more advice than: try to update/upgrade your system and drivers [08:10] heyya. I need a little word of encouragement because I had so much to learn and so much to fix lately on Ubuntu which kinda discouraged me a bit to use it. But I learned a lot - heck. Masters of Ubuntu?! === david is now known as Guest27272 [08:11] hi o/ [08:11] 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] 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] histo * [08:12] aladdin: what are you trying to do? [08:13] 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... [08:14] 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] aladdin: plenty of help in #python [08:16] auronandace, great idea. I should prob learn to narrow down my speciality to python :). cheers cheers cheers! [08:17] intok: and you are sure this behavior does not happen on other boxes on the network? [08:18] 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] intok: Try on another box. You may find it's your router or ISP. === shroud_ is now known as shroud [08:20] histo have tested it on the desktop, absolutly no issues, full speed, up and down, consistent pings, everything just works as it's supposed to [08:20] intok: Try a different port on the router with the laptop then. Do some basic troubleshooting and try and eliminate the problem. [08:23] histo already did, ruled out the cable and the port, tried all 4 ports and 6 cables, the desktop connection, the laptop doesn via ethernet or wifi [08:25] histo tried cat5, 5e and cat6 cables, the ones I started with where cat6 [08:26] I'm looking at this USN http://www.ubuntu.com/usn/usn-1844-1/ and reading referenced CVE description and it says "If there is a target configured and listening" [08:26] on the network, a remote attacker can corrupt heap memory [08:26] intok: What version of ubuntu are you running? And do you have any sort of firewall rules etc..? [08:27] well, I'm not sure what is meant by "if there is a target configured" in this context [08:27] does anyone have an idea? [08:28] target = the system they are trying to attack is my guess [08:28] histo 13.04 64 bit [08:29] histo laptop's LSHW http://pastebin.com/CXg1hSGc [08:29] Dr_Willis, yeah, but "configured"? They make it sound as if there have to be special actions taken for a target system to be configured. [08:29] Hey o/ Can I configure Thunderbird to work with Office 365? [08:29] or is taht just me? [08:30] 'a potental target is miss-configured to allow the attack to work' ? perhaps [08:30] ;) [08:30] captcha not coming up on my ubuntu machine, how to fix it === Nothing is now known as Guest49640 [08:31] param: what browser? [08:31] firefox and chrome [08:31] could be an issue with their server also. [08:31] its working fine on my windows [08:31] param: in chrome, press F12, select the Network tab, refresh the page. Any errors? [08:32] param: and remind me of the URL [08:32] i m trying to login to webchat.freenode.net only [08:33] ok let me switch to ubuntu and try , it big issue swtiching from ubuntu to windows again and again for small issue [08:33] one of the reasons i keep vbox+lubuntu handy ;) [08:33] whopsie :) [08:35] recaptacha is working here it seems.. lubuntu 13.04 firefox [08:35] Yep. worked here. [08:35] no re captacha also not working [08:36] param: then do what I've asked to give us more information [08:36] it was working fine yesterday, suddenly this issue cam [08:36] is there any other way to connect to this channel other that webchat.freenode.net [08:37] param: install an IRC client - xchat, irssi, wechat [08:37] these clients work on proxy setting too ? [08:37] param: not sure - you would have to check them yourself [08:38] i installed xchat, but couldn't connect it, proxy issue were there [08:38] ok let me give another try [08:38] makes me wonder if the proxy may be causing the captua issues [08:39] no proxy wont be causing this i hope. because i was on the same proxy for the last 2 weeks and this issue never came [08:41] HI, anyone who got a network brigde working with network manager? [08:43] param: did you set up your proxy correctly in xchat's settings? [08:44] 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? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [08:47] 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." [08:48] palasso: and a possible real solution though not sure how this fits with VNC http://is.gd/wX9s1l [08:49] 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) [08:50] 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... [08:51] palasso: yeah, I realised that after but there is a chance you could find something Pulse related for Windows. [08:52] 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 === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [08:55] 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 [08:56] *forks of VNC [08:56] 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) [08:57] palasso: you seem to be researching fine. So in the absence of easy solution, I'm doing some work for a bit :) [08:58] thnx somsip :) [09:00] hi guys. im running ubuntu 13.04 and can't find the proxy profiles that are in gnome 2... (im in gnome 3) any idea how to manually configure proxy profiles? I take my work laptop home with me and manually setting proxies is not ideal every time i switch between work and home === _gcx is now known as gcx [09:00] Well either a voice call or RTP or this http://www.radscan.com/nas.html might help [09:01] *RDP [09:02] great, I am installing Windows 8 through Virtual Box, let's see would it be like. [09:04] anyone experienced sluggishness of xchat while connecting to the server? [09:07] hey somsip http://paste.openstack.org/show/38026/ thats my network error [09:07] i am getting some error in re captcha javascript [09:07] aladdin: I use weechat here [09:07] its getting failed [09:08] aladdin: I though you wanted to learn cli? [09:08] somsip you there ? [09:08] param: that's why I told you to check the developer console in Chrome ages ago. [09:09] yes, now what to do [09:09] how to fix this now [09:09] param: what happens when you try to access that file directly? [09:09] param: oh wait for goodness sake. I have to type and have other things to do too [09:09] its not opening up [09:10] yes i am waiting :) [09:10] param: what error [09:10] the page didnt open, it was saying check proxy settings go to settings advanced settings and all [09:11] it shows like could not open the webpage [09:11] histo, cli? [09:11] hi can anyone help me with tape issue [09:11] aladdin: commandline interface [09:12] param: is your proxy blocking access? [09:12] but i am able to open other sites [09:12] why it would block a certain link [09:12] param: do they all use that js file? [09:12] hmmn,,, that i dont know [09:13] param: so if your proxy has decided to block www.google.com/recaptcha/api/js/recaptcha.ajax.js you have your answer [09:13] histo, hmm I don't remember mentioning it. Firstly, I want to master one programming language at least I guess to land a job [09:13] yes, how to by pass proxy for this link then [09:13] param: no idea [09:13] same proxy i am using in windows too === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [09:14] but here its working fine === burbankboy is now known as grulp [09:14] histo, windows is just in case I need to work on office === acidflash__ is now known as acidflash === dhruvasa1ar is now known as dhruvasagar [09:17] aladdin: libre office can open and edit office documents [09:20] histo, cool, can I install Photoshop in Ubuntu or does Ubuntu have an alternative? [09:20] aladdin: I believe you can run certain versions of photoshop with wine; however, I would use an open source alternative like gimp [09:21] aladdin: http://alternativeto.net/ is a wealth of information about alternatives [09:21] Hello I gave a command to loop and create a directory every random seconds in background, on a remote machine. Then after that I closed the ssh session to that remote client. Now I can't stop the background process. and jobs wont show the jobs. [09:21] mhr: how did you run it to keep it runnin gafter disconnect? === ganesh is now known as Guest45661 [09:22] somsip, i gave it to run in background with & [09:22] mhr: so when you disconnected, it died [09:23] somsip, them I logged out from that remote machine [09:23] no I can see its running and keep on creatinf directory [09:23] *creating [09:23] mhr: look for the job using "ps -ef", once you identify which one it is, you can kill it by typing "kill ", where is the process ID of the job from ps. [09:24] somsip: background jobs can be disowned and become children of init. [09:25] while sleep $(($RANDOM % 10)); do mkdir dir-$RANDOM ;sleep 0.1; done & [09:25] johnm: the OP didn't say he had used disown. If he did, I agree with what you say [09:25] that was the command I gave [09:25] somsip: even if he didn't, it seems pretty clear that what he said meant it was still running :) [09:25] johnm, but i cant see the exact process [09:26] somsip :) i fixed it...... thanks a ton . i am on ubuntu now [09:26] hey 1 have 1 more issue [09:26] as it is a sequence of processes [09:26] johnm: I try to get people to be clear about what they've done. But it doesn't matter if he's getting sorted out [09:27] 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. === multiply is now known as Multiply [09:30] cant find that process exactly === azbarcea_ is now known as azbarcea [09:31] johnm, how can I check exactly that its the exact process as its still creating the directories [09:33] 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 ;) [09:34] mhr: if you get very lost and need to check the process before you kill it, this *might* help https://github.com/nelhage/reptyr [09:38] facing issue with localhost. need to change my localhost settings === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [09:40] I remeber there is a way to setup a unbuntu box to overwrite data for a file that I delete using the standard tools. However I fotgot how to do it [09:41] tsunamie: shred? [09:41] google giving me custom delete tools for wiping partitions. I just want files I delete to be over written [09:41] jrib - does'nt that wipe entire partitions? [09:41] tsunamie: no, but make sure you read the man page [09:41] narrowing on the bash command I figured out one and killed the process, and BINGO! that was the same process that was the one. thanks johnm and somsip [09:42] mhr: glad you got it sorted [09:42] hi [09:42] what does -print does ? [09:42] VictorCL: in what context? [09:43] I have made this script for a cronjob to delete old backup files [09:43] 0 2 * * * find /backup/DB_autoaula* -type f -mtime +3 -exec rm -f {} \; -print [09:43] dont know if the -print is needed since is a cronjob [09:44] Hello, I'm having issues with Ubuntu 13.04 connecting to a Belkin wifi router. All my other wifi connections check out. Is this a good place to ask? [09:44] VictorCL: it looks a bit strange, but I'm no expert on find. [09:45] somsip it works fine when I execut it [09:45] VictorCL: thoguh normally I'd have the -print0 before the -exec, so that might be why it looks strange [09:46] VictorCL: I would just use -delete in this case [09:46] VictorCL: print outputs the full filename to stdout, and I believe -exec will pick up that filenamne and parse it through rm -f [09:47] it works so I will just leave it like that :P [09:47] VictorCL: what's your question? [09:48] my question was "what does -print" does and if is needed since is a cronjob [09:48] I trid t o google for "linux -print" and there is nothing [09:48] VictorCL: print prints the filename, you don't need it [09:48] linux "-print" neither [09:48] VictorCL: it's part of the find command [09:49] 16:46 < somsip> VictorCL: print outputs the full filename to stdout, and I believe -exec will pick up that filenamne and parse it through rm -f [09:49] (unless you want to print the filename) [09:49] jrib: good point [09:49] so is needed then [09:50] can anyone guide me how to use a VM In ubuntu machine [09:50] VictorCL: no. Unless you want to print the name for some reason (for example you want the name to show up in logs) [09:50] jrib ok [09:50] thanks :) [09:52] anyone give me some help troubleshooting a wifi issue? [09:54] hi all! I have in mind the following setting: the computer gets started and boots ubuntu. then I want to login remotely. Is this possible and how? Thanks! [09:55] param___, do this /j #virtualbox [09:55] sienez: you want to use ssh or graphical? [09:55] Hi [09:56] jrib, graphical is prefered [09:56] !vnc | sienez [09:56] sienez: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely. It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX [09:56] jrib, yes, I use vnc already. but it's only active when I'm logged in already, no? [09:56] sienez: see the wiki; there are various options [09:57] jrib, will do, thanks! [09:59] What would be the best colour for an Ubuntu PC? [10:00] Noskcaj: colour? That's largely up to you [10:00] and another thing: where can I set the default kernel version for booting. i.e. I don't want to boot into the latest version but some older version by default [10:01] jrib, Maybe you saw this on PlanetUbuntu. I'm not sure if Orange is still Ubuntu's main colour. maybe i'll just make the case based on Xubuntu instead [10:01] !grub | sienez [10:01] sienez: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [10:04] Hello I was used to seeing the next -dev release on http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/ , but now I don't. The source package is there, but the binary one is not. Does anyone know what is going on? (I am sorry, I don't know how to ask a search engine. I am pretty sure it's known) [10:05] There seem to be saucy installation media, so why I am seeing an empty package list? === noTch is now known as Guest36217 [10:06] hi all [10:07] got a question about my nvidia [10:07] anyone?

[10:17] no I want to know the browser window size so I can communicate it to our testers like [10:17] "Does not display currently in browser window smaller than XYZ" [10:17] which takes more into account than just the viewport size [10:17] Michael__: right, don't the tools I mentioned tell you that? [10:17] Michael__: you want the physical window size including toolbars and such? [10:17] nope, developer tools are just for working with the page. This is menus, borders, etc etc [10:17] right === krups_v2 is now known as krups [10:18] Michael__: you can use xwininfo [10:18] tis just the kind of way you have to communicate such things with these people [10:18] ooer, that sounds perfect [10:18] ill check it out thanks [10:18] perfect [10:18] thanks so much [10:22] any way to make ubuntu 10.04 iso from scratch using 3.0 kernel [10:24] daya: that wouldn't be supported === jbroome_ is now known as jbroome [10:24] daya: Desktop or server, Desktop is no longer supported, but there are tools to remaster the iso [10:24] !remaster | daya [10:24] daya: Interested in remastering the Ubuntu !LiveCD or !Alternate installer?

[10:25] daya: Have a look at the links ubottu gave, hopefully that will get you started [10:26] DJones: thanks :) [10:26] daya: It may be worth asking the question in #ubuntu-server to see whether its possible to use the 3.0 kernel before you go too far down the way though [10:27] @Djones do you the solution? [10:27] DJones: hmm, ok [10:27] Guest36217: which version did you upgrade from?

[11:07] VictorCL: You have to reload the service at least. [11:07] should i select download updates while installing ? [11:07] Yes. [11:07] do anybody have experience on DELL R720 with ubuntu 10.04 LTS? [11:07] !anyone | sagar [11:07] sagar: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [11:08] sagar: 10.04 is only supported on server now [11:08] bekks how do I reload the service? [11:09] Yes, 10.04.4 LTS is supported on Server. But, 10.04 LTS is not supported in DELL R720 by default [11:09] VictorCL: service name reload [11:10] sagar: you need to give the specs for us to have any idea [11:10] You don't. logrotate is being run from cron, it's not a daemon. [11:11] ThinkT510 : I need to upgrade kernel 2.6 of ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS to 3.0 to support DELL R720. But, only online installation is supported with netboot_iso. [11:11] brainwash: doing just that. thank you. [11:11] sagar: Why dont you use 12.04 then? [11:11] sagar: then why haven't you tried 12.04? [11:12] !details [11:12] 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] 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. [11:13] stuff that runs on 10.04 will likely work on 12.04 [11:13] sagar: well running 10.04 with a 3.0 kernel isn't supported [11:13] sagar: Then you will be setting up the first production server with 12.04 :) [11:13] ThinkT510: We can install 3.0 kernel in 10.04 isn't it? [11:14] daya: There is no 3.x kernel for 10.04 in the repos. [11:14] daya: you can but there wouldn't be much point in using an lts with an unsupported kernel [11:14] ThinkT510: hmm, sagar, ? [11:14] daya: you'd have to completely maintain the kernel yourself [11:14] 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. === Shubuntu_ is now known as Shubuntu [11:15] sagar: If you need a 3.x kernel for doing so - it isnt supported. [11:15] sagar: sounds like its time to upgrade [11:15] ThinkT510 : I followed this link http://devops.rackspace.com/using-a-custom-kernel-with-cloud-servers.html [11:15] It says yes === Shubuntu is now known as Guest84921 [11:15] sagar: It is possible, but not supported. [11:15] But, only netboot_iso i.e online installation is possible [11:16] it'd also be much easier to just install 12.04 [11:16] 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] bekks : hmm... I thought with the cloud work on that part. It is supported. :( === Guest84921 is now known as Shubuntu [11:16] sagar: Supported by rackspace - not by ubuntu. === Shubuntu is now known as Guest77459 === Guest77459 is now known as Shubuntu [11:17] ThinkT510: there might be some way on creating 10.04 iso using 3.0 kernel, though its not supported, am i right? [11:17] daya: Yes. [11:17] daya: yes [11:17] bekks : So, you mean. I have no options for 10.04 LTS to support DEll R720. [11:18] daya: why you would do that for a production system is beyond me [11:18] 10.04 is over 3 years old. why not upgrade? [11:18] sagar: Correct. If you want your production environment to be supported by Ubuntu, use 12.04. [11:18] Ben64: Because its receiving updates until 2015. [11:18] 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] But yes, time to upgrade to 12.04 now. [11:18] bekks: doesn't mean it should be used [11:19] Ben64: Not necessarily. [11:19] why anyone would install 10.04 now is beyond me [11:19] Ben64: Because it is still supported. [11:19] Hello [11:19] bekks: read what i said again [11:20] Ben64: Same for you. [11:20] bekks: 12.04 is LTS also [11:20] a fresh install, there is no reason to use 10.04 [11:20] histo: I know. And 10.04 is LTS also. [11:20] Ben64: Do you know his environment? How can you tell "there is no need to"? [11:20] 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] bekks: because there is no need to [11:21] sagar: are you sure that there are issues running your software on 12.04? [11:21] sagar: what is the problem you are experiencing? [11:21] Now, I have already invited headaches on that part [11:21] 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] Ben64: Its pointless to discuss with people like you who only take care of having the latest version. [11:21] bekks: you just seem to like arguing about dumb stuff [11:21] let's calm down, I'm not even sure what you guys are arguing about [11:21] ironhalik: fix your account settings or resolution possibly? [11:21] 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] bekks: lts releases overlap so you have a little time to transition to the next one [11:22] Ben64: I dont like to argue, I dont like to discuss with you. EOD. [11:22] ThinkT510: Yeah, about three years time. [11:22] 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] histo: Yeah, probably, but I have no idea where to start [11:23] * ActionParsnip points out Wikipedia use Lucid server :) [11:23] what was the command to reset unity settings (I use ccsm for some custom stuff) [11:23] sagar: if you do that then you just simply cannot get support here [11:23] 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] sagar: have you checked in backports? [11:23] !backports | sagar [11:23] 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] sagar: your requirements don't change the rules of this channel [11:23] sagar: I believe the kernel team also has a ppa [11:23] 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 [11:25] histo : yes, I am trying with that backports. [11:25] ubotto : thanks, I will do if that helps [11:25] linux-image-server-lts-backport-oneiric should just be in main [11:26] yeah, lucid-updates/main and lucid-security/main [11:26] 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] Jrib : They are not entertaining comments. I thought, I will get some idea in this pool,thats why. [11:26] histo: as to why not what? [11:30] 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] installing the lts-backport package I mentioned. That's my summary anyway [11:35] exit === StephdeChine is now known as worm [11:43] hi, i try to connect to my server via nautilus (ssh) but i get the error : ssh program unexpectedly exited....

[14:11] OliverJAsh: I've probably enabled the emacs-style shortcuts then. I thought that may also be default [14:11] jrib: so you can do ctrl+e everywhere? [14:11] i can do it in terminal [14:12] OliverJAsh: don't you have an 'End' key [14:12] OliverJAsh: yes, you can enable emacs-style shortcuts in all gtk inputs (you can see a list in /usr/share/themes/Emacs/gtk-2.0-key/gtkrc) [14:12] so are there plans to adopt systemd? i'm using arch with systemd right now and after trying to get used to it all i can say is that it really annoys the shit out of me.

[14:13] there are some window that dodge, before I click x on them, lol [14:13] how do I fix this? [14:13] Mrokii: well there are still some german settings there, though it seems like menu items should be english [14:13] nogal: Thanks, I'll try that. [14:13] 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 [14:14] 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] 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] 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 [14:15] perhaps the easiest thing for me to do would be to map cmd+left to home and cmd+right to end? [14:15] 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] i would prefer those shortcuts over emcas [14:15] emacs [14:15] jrib: Okay, thanks. [14:15] 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. Help?

[14:19] or should I just switch over to another distro?

[14:28] nogal: ok [14:28] jrib: design in glade (dont need glade to develop\) [14:28] elixir: what about it? Glade is in the repositories [14:29] jrib: console-setup does not ask any resolution settings, but it allows me to set the proper vga mode. [14:29] nogal: by doing what? Or just by running it and doing nothing? [14:29] jrib: which in turn fixes the vertical resolution/line count [14:29] jrib: by selecting vga mode [14:29] jrib: I just need to install glade(gtk3 based) on my distro, will 'sudo apt-get install glade' install the gtk3 based glade?

I don't have anything more specific to offer. Also check bugs.ubuntu.com for similar stories [14:39] jrib, I installed it but could not get anything useful from it. i'll look at the wiki you gave me [14:41] jrib: yeah that method did the same exact thing as every other grub method i've tried here, it seems to not load my video driver in a TTY at all, but X still works fine [14:41] nogal: what video card do you have and what drivers are you using? [14:41] jrib: I'd much rather have TTY and no access to X than X and no access to TTY lol [14:42] nogal: you have heard of terminal emulators right? ;) [14:42] how can I know the run level of machine?

[14:44] nogal: might try "jockey-text" [14:44] nogal: or check /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:44] jrib: jockey-text has no man page, only output is searching for frivers [14:44] jrib, any idea why? [14:45] nogal: one more thing, if you get back to the situation where you do have a tty but need to do the "dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" to "fix" it, what happens if instead you just run "setupcon" [14:45] nogal: try just installing the vidia-current package [14:45] aboudreault: how do you know rc.local is not being executed?

[14:53] SonikkuAmerica: 13.04 seem to work [14:54] aboudreault: what changes have you made to init other than adding lines to rc.local? And can you pastebin rc.local as well as the output from « ls -l /etc/init/rc* »? [14:54] Crosant: Excellent! Enjoy! [14:54] thank you [14:54] jrib, sure... [14:56] jrib, http://bpaste.net/show/GOyQV7m10NW7Ojv92yvj/ [14:57] jrib: setupcon seems to just load what i've already set up in dpkg-reconfigure console-setup, just by a single command. [14:57] nogal: and then your tty is in a "good" state? [14:57] jrib: i'ts helpful now that I don't have to go through everything, but it still isn't displaying correctly by default [14:57] jrib: until i load X again [14:58] 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. Help? [14:58] aboudreault: have you made any changes to init other than adding lines to rc.local? [14:58] jrib, no. [14:59] aboudreault: what's the point of ifdown and ifup in there? [14:59] jrib, to test the rc.local script simply. I was wondering why my apache2 was not starting. [15:00] hmm [15:00] jrib, tested the ifdown eth0 only ... and nothing neither [15:01] I get some trace errors at startup [15:03] i'm at work and every mac and windows machine can log into gmail, but our two ubuntu machines cannot. anyone else experiencing this?

[15:05] i'll try to think of one [15:05] somsip_: nice [15:05] jrib: i tried a little bit of hackery to fix this mess, hopefully this'll work... rebooting to test [15:05] ActionParsnip: someone had this earlier, but through a proxy... [15:06] blob4000: facebook [15:06] ciao [15:07] facebook signs in, but seems to slow right down in checking inbox, for example [15:07] blob4000: if it lets you in, it maybe isn't an SSL issue then. Worth a punt [15:07] hmm [15:07] hi all. I am needing some direction in terms of where to check what is causing my laptop to completely lock up and require a hard reboot. Happened about 4 times today. Running ubuntu 13.04 [15:08] just stumped because it's both ubuntu systems, but not others [15:08] did latest updates, on 13.04 and 12.04 [15:08] I can't seem to make shutdown menu entry in xubuntu, running openbox, and also this entry doesn't seem to run from tint [15:08] aboudreault: so if you remove/comment ifdown, ifup, and apache2 start, you don't end up with a /tmp/ms_tmp directory after boot? [15:08] hola [15:09] but I really need that shutdown button, for this kiosk type pc I am making [15:09] in italiano?

[15:11] nogal: yeah, I guess you can work out some kludge. You might try searching for setupcon not being executed at boot to try to get more information. I'm not sure exactly how it should be working [15:11] Prior to upgarding to 13.04, my corporate wifi login worked. Now I am getting "unable to get local issuer certificate" [15:11] actually i do have a support question too jrib. how do you get right-click to work on the touchpad? do you have to install a separate driver?

[16:13] monkeydust that is a great question that i do not know the answer to!lol the i used the update manager went to sleep restarted comp when i woke up and it was like it was factory reset all my temp files bookmarks and download folder was empty [16:14] anything that wasn't on my external was gone except for any applications ive installed they are still on the comp and thats it [16:14] does RedoBackup work on EFI/Windows8 ? [16:14] MonkeyDust: should i add user to sudoers group? [16:15] anyone have knowledge on the file encodings for newly created files via logrotate? [16:16] chrisbuchholz use visudo [16:16] smadamr: thats a responsibility of the application that creates the log. logrotate does not write any contents to the file. [16:16] @adamk Just remove nvenio driver from command line and rebooted. Typed: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current, and hoping for the best [16:17] MonkeyDust: i have used visudo, but im asking what you meant by add user to sudoers, because i have done what you said (adding the line entry) and it still doesnt work [16:17] bekks: I see. so logrotate would create a charset=binary, empty file, then it's up to the application to write properly encoded chars to the new file === andrex is now known as andrex|off [16:18] monkeydust any ideals === ogra_ is now known as ogra [16:20] guys i cannot ping chat.facebook.com, i tried changing dns, and no changes, i did mtr --report chat.facebook.com and it returns empty [16:20] jman074 no idea what may have happened [16:20] i can resolve the host ip, but that's abotu it [16:21] ive never seen anything like it [16:21] it even cleaned my trash out. [16:21] chrisbuchholz here's some reading http://askubuntu.com/questions/7477/how-can-i-add-a-new-user-as-sudoer-using-the-command-line [16:23] adamk: Looks like the nvidia driver reinstall worked, but GUI still not starting. [16:23] MonkeyDust: i have added this with visudo, but smplr can still not run start and stop: smplr-encoder (root) NOPASSWD: /sbin/start,/sbin/stop [16:23] jman074: was everything that's missing in your home dir? [16:24] hi [16:24] yup [16:24] i uninstalled the ubuntu-minimal [16:24] adamk: Error in xorg.0.log: "Faile to initialize the NVIDIA kernel module" [16:24] and now my ubuntu is broken :( [16:24] jman074: perhaps your home dir is moved? or it was encrypted before and not now? [16:24] jman074: or other way around? [16:24] linuxyuser: broken how? [16:24] imbezol: yup [16:24] IdleOne: apt-get is broken [16:25] damage: Pastebin the output of 'dmesg' [16:25] ciao belli [16:25] linuxyuser: describing something as 'broken' is not enough information to help you fix it. [16:25] i tried looking for the files else where but no luck [16:25] jman074: run "mount | grep ecryptfs" [16:25] jman074: is your homedir mounted as an encrypted fs? [16:26] not sure [16:26] nothing happens with mount command [16:27] when i try to install anything, the message is: the packet dmd is "very bad" sorry is a translation :) [16:27] the packet is damaged [16:27] jman074: what's the output of "ls -al /home/.ecryptfs" ? [16:27] but, it works, the problem begins when i uninstalled the android-minimal [16:28] linuxyuser: try sudo apt-get -f install [16:28] linuxyuser: -f will try to fix any broken packages [16:28] IdleOne: it fails [16:28] cannot access no such file or dirc [16:28] "E: El paquete dmd necesita ser reinstalado, pero no se encuentra un archivo para éste.

[16:29] (The package dmd needs to be reinstalled, but the archive could not be found.) [16:29] :( [16:30] linuxyuser: what does dmd do, do you know? [16:30] is a D language compiler [16:31] IdleOne: but dmd compiler works ok [16:31] IdleOne: the problem was to uninstall ubuntu-minimal, which is the ubuntu base system [16:32] linuxyuser: try reinstalling ubuntu-minimal [16:32] how can i build custom kernel? [16:32] under ubuntu:) [16:32] adamk: OK, just pasted it to: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5729839/ [16:32] !kernel | nullby7e [16:32] nullby7e: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) [16:32] IdleOne: i can install anything [16:33] IdleOne: it has removed a lot of files [16:33] damage: If you look at that output yourself, you'll see that it's having the same problem.

Sorry. Give me a min to get it. [16:41] ubuntu is shit [16:41] !language > fluids [16:41] fluids, please see my private message [16:41] fuck [16:42] hi all [16:42] my ubuntu suddenly boots into initramfs [16:42] ChrisSc: you setup software RAID? [16:42] although i can continue boot with "exit", i want to know why this happens [16:42] nmittal: nope [16:42] unfortunatly I do not see a error message... [16:43] ChrisSc: hardware ? [16:43] RAID [16:43] 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] no raid, 2 hdd, ubuntu boots from usb3 [16:43] any solution??! [16:43] 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] the two hdd are mounted with fstab [16:43] ChrisSc: i've only seen that error when ubuntu tries to boot before the device is ready (happens often with RAID) [16:44] nmittal: hmm, can this be due to the usb-stick as well? [16:44] gustav_: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [16:44] ChrisSc: and while you are typing exit.. the device becomes available and boots [16:44] nmittal: Sometimes also happens if not ext2/3/4 and fs driver not there immediately [16:45] ActionPa1snip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5729887/ [16:45] ChrisSc: possible.. becoz USB systems may not be up [16:45] gustav_: its only one line, so you dodn'y have to pastebin ;) [16:45] ChrisSc: try enabling USB in bios if thats an option for you [16:45] gustav_: are you using a PPA for the driver? [16:45] strange thing is that this has not happended before [16:45] ActionPa1snip: Two lines actually. [16:45] ActionPa1snip: I think so. [16:45] ChrisSc: Might want to make sure you have usbstorage driver specified in /etc/initramfs-tools/modules and then do the sudo update-initramfs -u [16:46] system worked fine for a few weeks [16:46] genii: how can i be sure of this? [16:46] gustav_: one line from /etc/issue is blank, so doesn't count :) [16:46] ChrisSc: yeah its erratic as its a race condition [16:46] in ubuntu 12.04 if im using amd grpahics driver form their site will it crash if kernel gets upgraded [16:46] gustav_: what is the output of: apt-cache policy xserver-xorg-video-intel [16:47] ActionPa1snip: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5729894/ [16:48] gustav_: you are using a ppa known to be unstable and extremely experimental [16:48] gustav_: what did you expect [16:48] ActionPa1snip: Oh, it's not the only option? [16:48] What is the command to update Ubuntu from within Terminal ? [16:48] genii: or to be more precise: what do I have to add to the modules-file? [16:48] gustav_: well, no. The Intel driver is in the default install [16:48] how can I install this package ? http://packages.debian.org/sid/libprotobuf-dev [16:48] ActionPa1snip: And nvidia? [16:48] gustav_: you can see (In your own paste) that the package is available from the official ubuntu repos [16:49] RonWhoCares: sudo apte-get update | sudo apt-get upgrade [16:49] RonWhoCares: Update packages? sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. To the next release? sudo do-release-upgrade [16:49] F [16:49] gustav_: nvidia drivers are in the repos too [16:49] gustav_: the PPA will also upgrade your X server to an experimental version too [16:49] ActionPa1snip: I see. The nvidia drivers are the same version too. [16:50] Oh, wait, no. [16:50] gustav_: we cannot support PPA packages. I suggest you contact the guys but I expect they will simply point you to the warnings on the PPA page [16:50] trism: OK.... http://paste.ubuntu.com/5729900/ [16:50] ActionPa1snip: Does Optimus work without this PPA? [16:51] 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] the sooner optimus is canned as a cludge, the better [16:51] ActionPa1snip: Maybe you mean bumblebee, Optimus is the nVidia hardware. [16:51] gustav_: bumblebee is the software in Linux to support optimus [16:52] ActionPa1snip: Optimus works in Windows AFAIK. [16:52] gustav_: yes, because Nvidia only provide support for that platform === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [16:52] gustav_: if nvidia supported Linux with it as well, it would work [16:52] ChrisSc: Will either be: usb-storage or: usb_storage ( I forget which ) ... by itself on a line in the file [16:52] ActionPa1snip: The latest stable version of their driver supports Linux. But it requires very late versions of X.org etc. [16:52] 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) [16:53] I heard that the latest beta drivers do support optimus these days. [16:53] gustav_: what windows does is of very little bearing to Linux, it is a completely different OS with different support [16:53] ActionPa1snip: I mean, contains support for Optimus on Linux. [16:53] ActionPa1snip: Do you multiboot to Windows? [16:53] genii: found it, thanks. Is usbcore, ext3, ext2 neccessary as well? [16:53] gustav_: no, pure Ubuntu and some others. I only touch Windows for work [16:53] damage: then: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current; and then I would reboot and see what happens [16:54] 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] ChrisSc: No, those are standard already [16:54] 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] genii: okay, thanks, will give it a try [16:54] ChrisSc: Also loading the usb-storage will automatically modprobe in the usbcore, etc [16:54] trisim: I will try that. [16:54] gustav_: what's next? An ARM CPU and an i7 cpu, to save power? [16:54] my ubuntu came with some "node" binary, what the heck is it, if not nodejs? thanks [16:54] ActionPa1snip: i7 is partly a RISC processor. [16:55] 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] ActionPa1snip: CISC instructions picked apart into RISC instructions and then run. [16:55] trisim: what is the irc command to view just your output? [16:55] ActionPa1snip: I have Ivy Bridge, this thing is built in. [16:55] does RedoBackup work on EFI/Windows8 ? [16:55] damage: /lastlog trism [16:55] genii: unfortunatly that didn't change anything... [16:55] damage: you could wget the log and grep it (one solution) [16:56] gustav_: exactly, if I was building a gaming rig I'd be avoiding those things [16:56] ActionPa1snip: Ok. :/ [16:56] my ubuntu came with some "node" binary, what the heck is it, if not nodejs? thanks [16:56] gustav_: we cannot support packages from PPAs here. I suggest you contact the PPA maintainer [16:56] 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? [16:57] gustav_: it will roll back if you use ppa-purge but I am unsure of results [16:57] my card reader stopped working. (just blinks on and off) can anybody help me pls? [16:58] ChrisSc: Might want to set some rootdelay option too [16:58] How can i stop a service without making an error out of it if its not running? Something like "stop if running". Right now, i deplay via beanstalk, and if the service is not running, it returns an error exit code and beanstalks email me about it, which i dont want because i dont care if its not running, i just want to start the service [16:58] damage: after purging you may want to check: dkms status; again to make sure you got them all [16:59] trisim: Is there a command to see what nvidia drivers i have installed? [16:59] damage: dpkg -l 'nvidia*'; should give you that [17:00] genii: where can I find the log of the boot? maybe theres sth that points to my error [17:00] trisim; thank you. Working on purge now. [17:01] How can i create LoCo Team for Bulgaria?? [17:01] damage: might want to use tab when completing my name, you have an extra i in there === mikestewart is now known as ms|afk [17:01] trisim: Been a windows guy for 20 years. Linux admin is still new to me. [17:02] damage: alot of people end up with multiple versions installed for some reason, tends to cause a few issues [17:02] I wanna create ubuntu LoCo Team but for my country !how can i do thath? [17:03] ChrisSc: Usually /var/log/boot.log and in same dir some other files like syslog, kernlog [17:03] kern.log rather [17:03] trism: sorry about that. And yes, I have a lot of nvidia stuff. I am purging it all. [17:04] damage: you can leave nvidia-common, that's fine [17:05] trism: Have a bunch of nvidia-settomg enteries, different versions, I guess? [17:07] how can i see what version of ntp my server is using [17:07] ?? [17:07] damage: yeah, there is one for each version [17:07] I just tried the xubuntu channel but got no responses. So anyway, I just installed xubuntu while using a pci wireless card. My network says connected but i have no lan or internet access [17:07] can I use Ubuntu as a VPN server? [17:08] because corporate forewall ~_~ [17:08] trism: OK, got everything but the nvidia-setting things uninstalled. Reboot now? [17:08] What's the CLI command for the Startup Disk Creator? [17:08] damage: check: dkms status; one more time and make sure the nvidia-current is installed for your current kernel [17:08] damage: and then yeah, reboot [17:08] Supposedly there is a bug with the rt2800 drivers and i need to recompile the source? [17:09] trism: Too late. Rebooted. Will check when it comes back up. [17:10] hmm, any idea one one uses cifs to share files over a windows network? [17:10] trism: Wow. Low-graphics mode. Should I work from here, or just go back to CLI? [17:11] !samba | exnor [17:11] exnor: Samba is the way to cooperate with Windows environments. Links with more info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MountWindowsSharesPermanently and https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/C/windows-networking.html - Samba can be administered via the web with SWAT. [17:11] 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] damage: if that looks fine, check lsmod to see if the nvidia module is loaded, and if not: sudo modprobe nvidia; [17:12] trism: Did a dkms status. No nVida enteries. Will try lsmod now. [17:13] damage: ahh, if no nvidia entries: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current; I think you may have purged too many [17:13] trism: OK, will try that now. [17:14] damage: if that seems to install fine: sudo stop lightdm; sudo modprobe nvidia-current; sudo start lightdm; and see what happens [17:14] trism: Installing nvidia-current now. [17:15] trism: When Windows screws up like this, you just format and reinstall. I am happy that Linux can actually be fixed === andrex|off is now known as andrex [17:16] i have klogd running [17:16] but i don't see my printk() [17:17] How do I make an USB key with Ubuntu 12.10? usb-creator-gtk crashes. [17:18] gustav_: Why 12.10? It's not going to be supported for too long, why not 13.04 or 12.04? [17:19] gustav_: Either way, you can just use dd: sudo dd if=Downloads/ubuntu-12.10-desktop-amd64.iso of=/dev/sdz (where /dev/sdz is your USB stick) [17:19] theadmin: I'm running 12.10 and I know it to be stable. [17:19] theadmin: the EOL of 12.10 is actually longer than 13.04 [17:19] theadmin: Ah. [17:19] 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. For a while, I could use internet on windows on the same computer while I did some research and tried the solutions posted on the web. 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] DJones: Oh, prrf... Yes, indeed [17:19] nload and install 13.04 directly? Won't I lose my files? Thanks a lot [17:19] DJones: Still though, you want latest software - you use the regular branch, you want stability - you use the LTS branch, well normally [17:20] trism: YOU ARE DA MAN!!! Got my desktop back. I still have some reconfiguration to do. But I have not seen my GUI in a couple of days. [17:20] damage: excellent [17:20] ernalve: If you're coming from an earlier *buntu version, no [17:20] theadmin: Just something you may find useful info, I asked the question about upgrades from 12.10, basically if a 12.10 user doesn't upgrade to 13.04 and subsequently 13.10, the plan is to offer direct upgrades from 12.10 to 14.04 [17:21] trism: Going to reboot, just to confirm that it will start automatically. [17:21] 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] theadmin: Agreed about LTS being for people who want stability [17:22] ernalve, theadmin: There's also the "Upgrade Ubuntu $OLDERVERSION to Ubuntu $NEWERVERSION" selectable from the installer. [17:22] Hello! i am on ubunut 13.04. After an update i cannot write songs anymore to my ipod. [17:22] SonikkuAmerica: Oh? That is of new [17:22] adamk: Thank you for your help too, Adam.

THanks a lot [17:24] trism: WOW, when it booted this time, I even got my app wall back.

[17:34] juniour, Just ask your question. If someone can answer, they will. [17:34] asked??? [17:35] there are 1694 people here, i think [17:35] how to alter uptime without reboot [17:35] ?? [17:35] !details | juniour [17:35] juniour: 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 ..." [17:35] juniour: There is no way to alter the uptime. [17:35] bekks haaaaaaaa [17:36] bekks every thing is instructed to machine and machine can't do anything without of himself, and it can be altered i think [17:36] :) [17:37] Now that's deep [17:37] juniour: You you know it better - be free to tell us a solution :) [17:38] beeks i have an idea , it does't mean i can solve it [17:38] how can i set location of local server other than /var/www [17:40] juniour: what do you need to use it for?

[17:49] killer: funny how you can trigger meta questions, isn't it? [17:49] yeah, very funny [17:50] 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 [17:51] has anyone had any luck with Ubuntu and multiple monitors? [17:52] 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 [17:54] 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] and I have no launchers on the other monitors [17:55] nmittal: did you restart X? maybe the desktop/window manager hasn't noticed the change yet? [17:55] grimeton.. yes [17:55] nmittal: maybe you have to tell the wm to use the other space too? [17:55] tried to drag a window to the other screen? [17:56] grimeton, i dont think we can drag windows across x-screens [17:58] nmittal: i do [17:58] grimeton, do you have Nvidia?

[18:00] nmittal: this sounds to me that either the x config is broken OR that the window manager didn't notice the change [18:01] both is possible too [18:01] should I run 13.04 or 12.04, is 13.04 not with bugs? [18:01] Gnea, grimeton can you pls look at my xorg.conf file.. http://fpaste.org/16297/70282478/ [18:01] streulma: well 12.04 is LTS [18:02] Ubuntu 13.04, there I can't hange the wallpaper color [18:02] Gnea, grimeton i have had this issue everytime i have tried to install Ubuntu [18:02] change* [18:02] nmittal: are you using twinview or separate X screen? [18:03] Gnea, I have 4 monitors.. 2 monitors are on 1 x screen and use twinview.. the other two monitors have their own x screens [18:04] nmittal: complicated. what happens if they're all using twinview? [18:04] Gnea, twinview is only for 2 monitors rt? [18:04] nmittal: I'm just asking... what happens? [18:04] Gnea, will try now [18:04] nmittal: well I"m guessing you have 2 dual-head nvidia cards [18:04] Is it possible to setup my work email in Ubuntu? My work is using some sort of Outlook server.

[18:09] ubuntu-bug expects me to know what package is involved [18:09] once I finally figured out I was suppsoed to use that ;-) [18:09] 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? [18:10] 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] hi can i get ubuntu docs????

[18:23] 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] dirk_: But I do not think we have a clear idea of what it is you really want to do. [18:23] take window off completely without reinstalling ubuntu [18:23] <_Bauer> How do I keep Empathy always online on Google Talk? its not receiving messages, and does not connect until I actually open the Contact List [18:23] dirk_ you installed ubuntu inside windows, that was not a good idea === webfox_ is now known as webfox [18:24] dirk_: Are you on a dual boot system?

[18:25] hmm - beginning to wonder whether I ened to get rid of the unity lens entirely, since apparantly it's not intended to soleyl access my local system, and I now have to take special precautions to make it do so [18:25] thanks [18:25] :) [18:25] I use web browsers when I want to access off my local system, strange as that may seem to canonical designers [18:25] 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 [18:26] hi [18:26] 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] ArlieS: this isn't a complaint channel, if you have a specific issue with Ubuntu please ask the questions. [18:26] dirk_ wubi was a pseudo-install, it complicates things [18:27] 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] dirk_ that's why everybody cheered when wubi was removed from the ubuntu iso [18:27] well i need to get the ubuntu iso and make a usb installation and reinstall then correct? [18:27] [SLB]: no [18:27] 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.

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.

[18:32] can i unmount it and resize it that way? [18:32] not spesific,but generally [18:32] dirk_: Use live CD [18:32] dirk_: short answer: No [18:33] usr13, he's using wubi, not a dual boot [18:33] check this out http://imagebin.org/260038 [18:33] dirk_: If you are using wubi, you will need to do a fresh Ubuntu install. [18:34] so i should format c drive entirely, partitions and all and reinstall [18:35] 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] 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] ya id say i'd need some handholding on that for sure [18:35] 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 [18:36] genii: I don't know about that, but sounds like fresh install would be easier. [18:37] 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] dirk_: genii Fresh Ubuntu install is easy. [18:37] wubi's a great way to try ubuntu; wouldn't want to use it long term [18:37] ArlieS: I do not recommend wubi [18:37] exactlly [18:38] can also try it by running directly from instal media. I do that when It gives me a loaner PC ;-) [18:38] It = Information Technology dept [18:38] ArlieS: A great way to try ubuntu is http://www.ubuntu.com/tour/en/ [18:38] anyway, than I ran off on tangent. === root is now known as Guest39132 [18:39] dirk_: The recommendation to just do a proper install is the shortest and simplest. You might want to put anything you want to save from in your wubi install onto a usb stick or such beforehand however. [18:39] ArlieS: ... or live CD or USB (wubi is not something I consider all that useful). [18:40] bye and thanks folks.

See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub [18:40] one more thing.... my video lagged really badly.... my graphics card went out and i'm using the really old one on the mother board (virtually useless its so old) reading up i found a ubuntu page saying that to change the perimeters of swappy from 60 to 10... does anyone know what i'm talking about if so i'll continue [18:41] dirk_, changing swap wont make your video card any better [18:41] dirk_: Just do a fresh install, worry about details later. If you need a new video card, get one later. [18:42] yes i know... i was trying to free up some ram to make everything run a bit smoother [18:42] dirk_: How much RAM do you have? [18:42] 1 gig.... [18:42] dirk_: No problem. [18:43] dirk_, are you sure your video card is borked ? did you test it on a different OS or pc ? [18:43] dirk_: If it is a desltop PC, you should invest in a video card. [18:43] ok so i'll continue... so i changed the swap to 10 as suggested and my comp was barely useable.... BLUE..... yes it works fine on windows XP no lag [18:43] hi guys. I'm trying to compile something on ubuntu and it says: Error: class,struct,union or type Z_U4 not defined /usr/include/zconf.h:409: I was wondering if you could help me understand what it is complaining about and what I may have to fix to get it to run [18:43] i am looking to get one thru ebay or a friend on payday [18:44] it seems to be a problem with a class provided by ubuntu? [18:45] ok continuing .... so i changed it to 10 and my comp was almost unusable... so i changed it back... but just curious i set it up to 88 (completely opposite of the sites suggestion) and my video doesn't lag at all anymore and my system runs alot better... does that make any sense to anyone? [18:46] I'm having SSH issues with www-data. I'm trying to setup rsa keys to connect remote.

[18:55] jdoles: Did you do some command like grub-install or update-grub using the root directory as the destination instead of the /boot directory? [18:55] kaddi: yeah that doesn't help at all, did you build your own zlib? [18:56] no [18:56] genii: can't remember.

[19:00] jdoles: i'm trying to learn... [19:00] kaddi: if you are trying to learn, then you should lift the covers of the systems you are depending on.

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 [19:36] 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.

[19:42] hello I would like to secure an ubuntu 12.04 desktop and I found this: http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/how-secure-ubuntu-1204-lts-server-part-1-basics [19:43] cloneG start with sudo ufw enable, it enables the firewall, iptables [19:43] MonkeyDust: it is for secure an ubuntu 12.04 server...which of those actions should i follow and which not? [19:43] MonkeyDust: I already enabled UFW firewall it is the first step in the guide... [19:44] cloneG tip: there's also #ubuntu-server [19:44] MonkeyDust: but the next step its kind of useless...sshd?? [19:44] cloneG depends on the services you want to use [19:44] MonkeyDust: I am not running a server I am just using that guide to secure my desktop... [19:45] cloneG then why do you read a server page? [19:46] MonkeyDust: because it says how to secure ubuntu 12.04 and that is my system...moreover it seems there will not be another lts ubuntu version thats why I would like to start preparing mine to last longer [19:46] how do you move the taskbar from the side to someplace else? [19:46] cloneG 1) linux is safe 2) the next lts will be 14.04 [19:46] i have a rootkit on 13.04 according to chkrootkit [19:46] cloneG what are you afraid of? [19:47] Searching for Suckit rootkit...Warning: /sbin/init INFECTED [19:47] MonkeyDust: oh! thats good news [19:47] cloneG and after that: 16.04, 18.04 etc [19:47] MonkeyDust: I give up then? there is nothing in that guide that could be handy? [19:47] MonkeyDust, take that back "linux is safe" i have a rootkit here bro :p [19:48] ok: "rootkits are unsafe" :p [19:48] what the hell am i supposed to do if my init is infected ? [19:49] apm1: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1555330 [19:49] MonkeyDust: I saw some terrible hacking using unupdated java vulnerability to take control of the whole system...an ubuntu was the victim [19:49] Hi all, I am new to xchat would someone help plz? [19:49] cloneG source? [19:49] apm1: Looking at that link, its a false positive (although that forum post is very old) [19:49] MonkeyDust: source: BBC, and the hacker was using the webcam! [19:50] DJones, yeah i figured its a false positive too , since they mostly are :p [19:50] Hey === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [19:50] cloneG never read aything about it in any linux blog or newssite [19:50] I am using xchat on ubuntu anyone would help ? [19:51] uuiie, I might be able to lend a hand [19:51] thanks tobyjones8 [19:51] what's the problem? [19:51] I am quite new to xchat, where to start from? [19:52] is there any possibility to use empathy without ubuntu online accounts since the later is badly broken/unusable atm: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/empathy/+bug/1160272 [19:52] Launchpad bug 1160272 in empathy (Ubuntu) "Cannot add IM account (empty setup dialog)" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:52] ?? [19:52] alright [19:52] Hi, I found that by booting up the system to recovery mode and running commands: mount -o rw,remount / and passwd username, we can change the password. Is there any way to prevent it happening? (Suppose you have lost your laptop. :( ) [19:52] so judging by the fact that you're using this irc channel right now [19:52] what to do in it? i have used yahoo messanger a lot but this is quite different [19:52] kk [19:52] so [19:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XChatHowto [19:52] read that [19:53] Yes I read that and so connected to #ubuntu [19:53] mojtaba invent a secure password [19:53] but what do you want to know? [19:53] mojtaba so they have to know the password in order to change it? [19:53] MonkeyDust: No. [19:53] Hi everyone, I'm connecting through empathy for the first time. [19:54] first thing the guide is using xchat-gnome while I am using simple xchat [19:54] can I convert xchat simple in to xchat-gnome? [19:54] What advantages will this give me in comparison to webchat.freenode.net? beside the visual advantage? [19:54] do you not use gnome? [19:54] I am on Ubuntu 12.04 [19:54] ubuntivity, it doesn't require a browser all the time [19:55] Is there any idea about it? [19:55] On webchat, if someone mentioned my name it appeared in red, now nothing indicates my name was mentioned :/ [19:55] so you should be able to do sudo apt-get install xchat-gnome [19:55] Or is there a way to activate that? [19:55] if I'm not mistaken [19:56] I'm not sure, ubuntivity [19:56] I don't use empathy [19:56] how well does Ubuntu work on the Asus Transformer series? [19:56] LTS if possible, 13.04 if necessary [19:56] hmmm thats right, so I think first I need to uninstall xchat simple and then install xchat-gnome, right? [19:56] mojtaba, you never need to enter a password in that recovery mode at all? (eg. for other superuser account)? [19:56] does ubuntu work at all on the transformers? [19:56] Does anyone use Empathy for IRC? [19:56] no, I'm using mirc atm [19:56] mmmm eog cannot display a simple 55Kx700 pixels image [19:56] MonkeyDust: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-22689158 [19:56] tobyjones8: I've seen pictures of Ubuntu 11.04 and 11.10 working on a TF201 [19:56] ubuntivity, i tried but the account setup dialogue appears totally empty on my new install... :-/ [19:57] (eog:15328): Gtk-WARNING **: drawing failure for widget `GtkDrawingArea': invalid value (typically too big) for the size of the input (surface, pattern, etc.) [19:57] syntroPi: If you enter recovery mode there is an option which lets you to enter as a rooot [19:57] MonkeyDust: notice that the victim is using ubuntu [19:57] I know Asus has released bootloader unlocks for some of the transformers [19:57] tidux [19:57] http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/ASUS_Eee_Pad_Transformer/How_to_install_Ubuntu [19:57] not sure if they have 12.04 yet [19:57] oh, it appears they do [19:57] mojtaba, maybe you want to encrypt your home partition then? [19:57] sudo sdparm --clear=STANDBY /dev/sdh -S Is there an alternative to this for older external drives? Does hdparm have something like this? [19:57] there's a table detailing what works and what doesn't [19:58] the "need to copy over binaries from Android" bit worries me [19:58] I don't like blobs [19:58] syntroPi: I have seen that at the installation time the ubuntu asks about encrypting home folder, but I did not choose it at that time. How can I do that now? [19:59] mojtaba: You can set a password for grub. [19:59] tobeyjones8, one last thing plz, how to add you in list to contact you again? [19:59] hmm [19:59] looks like that's the older TF201 [19:59] I was really hoping for TF300 or newer [19:59] jhutchins_wk: How can I do that? [19:59] uuiie, you may add me on skype [19:59] feel free to pm me for my skype nick [19:59] mojtaba: Don't know off the top of my head but I'm sure it's in the grub manpages. [20:00] 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] jhutchins_wk: thanks [20:00] tidux, what tf do you have? [20:00] none [20:00] ok thank you. Will contact you very soon. [20:00] just thinking about getting one as a nice GNU/Linux ARM system [20:00] since my x86 laptop is getting a bit old and clunky [20:01] 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] go for a nexus 7 [20:01] in that case [20:01] and grab an otg cable, usb hub, keyboard and mouse [20:01] fuck everything about that [20:01] not as elegant, but you do save a lot of cash [20:02] and still Asus ;) [20:02] I want a real laptop [20:02] why? I love my n7... [20:02] Fair enough [20:02] 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] jhutchins_wk: Can they remove the BIOS password by removing the battery inside? [20:02] too small, too slow, too little battery life compared to a docked Transformer [20:02] moj, it's possible depending on your mobo [20:02] I find it to be fast enough [20:03] and you either need an unusable 7" keyboard or carry around a full sized one [20:03] which is just pants on head retarded [20:03] mojtaba: generally you need to do a clever thing to the EEPROM that holds the password [20:03] true [20:03] mojtaba: beyond that I will not elaborate [20:03] gordonjcp: Do you have any suggestion? [20:03] mlindsay_ not sure [20:03] alright, time for more research [20:04] try this, mlindsay_ https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount%20Windows%20Raid%200%20Volumes%20Howto [20:04] I'm off for now, I got an exam tomorrow [20:04] it sucks [20:04] mojtaba: suffice it to say that most PCs are highly resistant to casual tampering with BIOS passwords [20:04] I'll catch you guys later [20:04] mlndsay_: apparently no, according to this article http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=833653 [20:05] mojtaba, if you are able to read german or use google translate here is a description which may be helpfull http://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/ecryptfs/Einrichten#Homeverzeichnis-umstellen [20:05] mojtaba: there are very few machines that cannot be de-passworded given access to an arduino, some datasheets, and a couple of hundred quid's worth of high-end hot air rework equipment [20:05] mlindsay_: unless your a power user [20:06] anyone can help with this? broken package dependencies http://paste.ubuntu.com/5730512/ (whatever I try to install I get some broken deps) [20:06] Thanks all [20:07] ubuntu01: you have some PPAs active?

[20:08] I can't seem to get them to both show up in the Grub2 [20:08] Does it matter if its a intel raid vs a windows raid?

[20:15] neyder: xubuntu should be good, and you can install ltsp for thin clients [20:16] ahalverson, yep, i'm making a distro xubuntu bassed, but wan't to create a new desktop profile other than xubuntu's default, [20:17] 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] k1l: doesn't help :( [20:18] neyder: so you want a desktop eviroment similar to xfce [20:19] ahalverson, no, i want XCFE to look windows like, and be the default after creating removing users (not just one time personalized) [20:19] Question [20:19] E: Unable to locate package nvidia === noTch is now known as Guest85490 [20:19] neyder: oooooh [20:19] ubuntu01: try a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade (this will not bring you a new ubuntu version) [20:19] E: Unable to locate package nvidia any solution?

And i don't think it should look exactly like windows but familiar, so bottom menu and so on [20:22] Guest85490: No. This is my policy. Public help only. [20:22] ok [20:22] neyder: the most windows-like desktop enviroment i know is kde [20:23] !repos | Guest85490 [20:23] Guest85490: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [20:23] Genii: theres no additional driver on softwares & update also [20:23] Does anybody know if 13.04 freezes a lot? I have 12.04 but it freezes absolutely tons(all ending in a force restart). I'm hoping that upgrading to 13.04 will fix the problem. If not, how can I stop it from freezing all the time? [20:23] You can get XFCE to be a lot like windows. [20:23] 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] Guest85490: See the links provided by ubottu to make sure you have the extra repositories like restricted and multiverse set up first. [20:24] in progress [20:24] 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] Jordan_U, I agree [20:25] frinknet: what does /var/log/auth.log look like on the server?

You can run commands and use pastebin from a LiveCD. [20:34] i had a problem with my Nvidia X Server Settings, “You do not appear to be using the nvidia x server”, next i changed my driver on Softwares & Updates to Xorg, now theres no driver at my Additional Drivers tab, no display for main boot and im running IRC by Recovery, Any Solution? [20:35] frinknet: hmm. in line 8, "remote ip" is the ip for the client machine you are attempting to connect with? [20:36] frinknet: you didn't make changes to sshd_config and forget to restart the ssh service perhaps? [20:37] Tibas: Do you need help figuring out how to pastebin the output of "sudo parted -l" and "sudo blkid"? [20:38] jrib: yes [20:39] jrib: I've been able to login after all of these things [20:39] frinknet: whan do you mean? [20:39] jrib: systest logged in. I've been futzing with it so much I'm not sure what I did so I'm going to recreate the user and trace my steps [20:40] frinknet: haha [20:40] frinknet: let me know once you find out [20:41] Sorry for the nature of the question, but I'm really trying: what would be the best channel for questions about NFS? [20:42] mercury00: this should be fine if you are using ubuntu [20:42] mercury00: but there is also #nfs [20:43] Ah, didn't know there was #nfs, thanks (the ubuntu wiki only lists #ubuntu-* channels it seems) [20:43] 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] I'll try that first and come back if it's ubuntu specific then [20:47] mercury00: its not very populated [20:47] aha [20:48] Maybe I'll repeat myself in this channel then: [20:49] 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] 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] 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? [20:50] 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] anyone have problems with firefox not being able to load any apges [20:51] *pages [20:51] jambey: no spam here [20:51] mercury00: what fs is the nfs system? [20:51] 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] clcto: good q, let me check, [20:52] 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] catcher, its possible it may be in the backports repos also. [20:52] 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? [20:53] !ppa-purge [20:53] 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:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [20:53] thats what the ppa-purge command is all about. ;) [20:53] cool, makes sense. [20:54] clcto: my filesystem is XFS for the NFS mount [20:54] jrib: I've traced down the error. It is a user error but it's not entirely obvious. See: [20:54] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5730318/ [20:54] 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] How long is the turnaround for this type of thing to go into the stable packages? This was released on 05/16 [20:55] (I'd rather use ext4, but too late now) [20:55] frinknet: I see [20:56] !sru | catcher [20:56] catcher: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [20:56] 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] !latest [20:56] 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. [20:57] 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] theres a ppa search site [20:57] !ppa [20:57] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [20:58] what would be the effect of `sudo apt-get remove linux-headers` ? [20:58] and or removing linux-image-server [20:58] or linux-server [20:58] because one of those is causing apt-get to feel conflicted. [20:59] mustmodify: then you wouldn't get kernel updates anymore. Why not fix the real problem and leave those packages alone? [21:00] frinknet: still doesn't explain why www-data doesn't work though? [21:00] Seveas: The 'real problem' is that I stupidly followed some directions I saw because I thought my daughter would be thrilled to see ponies on my terminal when she comes in to visit: http://terse.tk/ponysay/ [21:00] I'm trying to get ubuntu running on a ug-802 android stick. Could anyone direct me to where I could look for some support? [21:00] jrib: I think this was a user error as well. I retraced my steps and have www-data working now [21:01] mustmodify: thanks, I haven't added to the quotes file in a while [21:01] so I tried to install stuff and it required other stuff and now there are two copies of linux-image-server installed. [21:01] jrib: yeah, that one's pretty good. [21:01] Not sure I could have improved on it if I'd tried. [21:02] Other than leaving out references to my daughter. === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway [21:02] Anyway, I think I can resolve it but uninstalling one of them... but just wanted to know if they accidentally both got removed what chaos would ensue. [21:03] mustmodify: well, you won't get kernel updates until you reinstall them, other than that it's fine [21:03] mustmodify: I'd suggest pastebinning the message you're getting from apt-get about conflicts [21:04] Running an Intel i5-2500 at full load at 80 degrees C. Is that a safe temp? [21:04] Hi people [21:06] Aprel: thats a little high. cpus should be around 60. is that a desktop or laptop? [21:06] Aprel, idle around 40C and stress at 85C is not unusual. >> http://communities.intel.com/thread/29668 [21:07] Is there a way to control an external soundcard's volume via keyboard shortcuts [21:07] clcto for amd i would think so [21:08] azomb: external as in usb? [21:08] yes [21:08] 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] its's a x-fi go pro by creative [21:09] azomb: does it show up in alsamixer? if so you should be able to create a shortcut for amixer [+-=] [21:09] been running folding@home, just wanna make sure heat dispersion is ok [21:10] Aprel i assume those values are correct set by your bios, @98 your cpu will start to shutdown as a safety measure. [21:10] anyone know why my ubuntu doesnt come out of sleep mode, or when i 'lock screen' it cant get out of it and i need to restart [21:11] Dr_willis, I see a package with the version I want here, is there a url I can add to my sources here? http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/precise/main/proposed/emacs23 [21:11] I'll try that. I'm using pulse audio and my volume keys work only for the internal realtek speakers. I'll try alsamixer... thanks clcto :) [21:11] Dricus do you have sufficient swap? may be related to that [21:11] how add emulated interfaces into briged network? [21:11] br# interfaces [21:12] azomb: prolly have to change default sound card [21:13] any idea? [21:13] clcto: do you know the best way to do that? [21:13] Dricus keep it in the channel please === CaptainObvious is now known as Guest84771 [21:14] 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] azomb, better use the pacmd commands to control the volume and not directly through alsa [21:15] 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] azomb, sorry, i meant pactl [21:16] hear about that joke where the package told the package manager the package was now obsolete, and shouldn't be used? [21:16] it was self-deprecating humor [21:17] kostkon: Thanks but I just booted into linux for the first time yesterday. What are the pactl commands and how can I alter them? [21:18] 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? [21:19] Aorel yes, it can [21:19] azomb, for a start give: "man pactl" in the terminal without the quotes [21:20] kostkon, cool did that [21:20] 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? [21:21] does anyone use nod32? [21:21] kostkon, yeh it does [21:21] azomb, what happens when you press them [21:22] azomb, are you using your onboard at all or just your x-fi for everything [21:22] OerHeks: k, everything seems to be working ok then. Thanks for the info. [21:23] 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] If I upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04, what will happen to my precious configs and scripts? [21:23] iderik: nothing because even if something unexpected were to occur, you have backups [21:24] 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] Aprel have fun [21:25] hi all...

[21:26] does anyone use nod32? [21:26] Crashed, did anyone asnwer my question? :) [21:26] azomb, i think xubuntu uses pulseaudio by default. to make sure, does the command: "ps -A | grep pulse" produce any output [21:26] kostkon, i thought it would be close to ubuntu since it's based on it so i came here :\ [21:26] eset antivirus? [21:27] azomb, yeah np. if yes, then you could install the pulseuadio volume control utility and set your xfi as the default device from there.

I've heard of problems with it [21:52] houser, you mean crashing completely, or just getting the crash report popup? [21:52] kostkon, completely...have to do hard reset [21:53] houser, it could be a hardware prob, possibly ram? [21:53] yeah...im gonne go for 1304 and see if it helps [21:54] houser, you can do the memtest, although you;ll need to leave your pc on overnight to allow it to finish [21:54] another thing that annoys me about ubuntu is that its not consistent with active window always being on top :( [21:54] Draxelis, well for me it asked sudo password [21:54] audio and video works for vimeo Jordan_U: [21:54] I'm having trouble setting up transmission web interface.

[21:56] Draxelis, yep [21:56] ye [21:56] houser, I'd wait for 13.10 to come out, to be honest. [21:56] i've never installed ubuntu before and i'm quite new.

[21:57] Draxelis, sudo password are different [21:57] codemaniac, why? [21:57] codephobic, ^ [21:57] but that might be due to conflicts with virtualbox, as I have a bunch of headless vms running on boot too. [21:57] hello_world_newb, but why it works for you and not for me? [21:57] what's the difference? [21:58] 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] Draxelis, based on your installation user password and sudo password can be different [21:58] codemaniac, in 1304? [21:58] I'm more interested in getting on with my dev work than looking at the gubbins of ubuntu [21:58] houser, yes 13.04 [21:59] codepal, i thought it was very stqble [21:59] stable [21:59] my on-board graphics chip is outdated and no longer supported by ati, but that's an Xorg (or whatever it's called) issue...

I have tonnes of stuff running within it. [22:00] Draxelis: have you tried to install su? [22:00] but boot time is dicey ... frequent kernal panics, which force me to reboot. [22:00] Draxelis, well you can set a su password [22:00] can I set su password temporarily as I read that it's not safe to have su? [22:01] Draxelis: why do you want to?

[22:05] Draxelis: ok, then you know not to use "su" to gain root access [22:05] cuek [22:05] xupenlo [22:05] :D [22:05] jrib, so how do i install this nod32 ?:)) [22:05] is there any glue between seahorse and gpg-agent required to have my gpg passphrase cached for my session? my 13.04 fresh install seems unable/unwilling to save my passphrase after first prompt. [22:06] Draxelis: If they provide repositories for your ubuntu version, use the repositories. if it's a .deb, double click on it [22:06] it's different [22:06] anyway, doesnt matter [22:07] i have too many probs with 13.04 :( [22:07] Draxelis, well thats funny i have none [22:07] i guess it depends on hardware [22:07] Aloha, is it possible, that evolution destroys emails? [22:07] give me a min [22:07] 12.10 was good [22:07] Draxelis: what's your question? [22:08] jrib, What fast and accurate commercial antivirus would you recommend for ubuntu? [22:08] Draxelis, if antivirus is important [22:09] !antivirus | Draxelis [22:09] 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] apt-get install clamav [22:09] jrib, hehe, you didnt read what i said earlier :)) [22:09] clamtk is the GUI for it [22:09] Draxelis: I did. The link recommends several [22:09] hello_world_newb, yep it's important [22:09] So I am having some issues using socket.io on the stock AWS ubuntu 12.04LTS AMI does anyone know where I might go to get support for that? It seems like it is having issues connecting a simple websockets client to a simple websockets server. What is weird is that it works just fine on a normal install or on an Ubuntu 12.04 linode [22:09] jrib, ye but they are basic [22:10] Draxelis: I don't know what that means [22:10] Hallo! [22:10] detection rate is much worse [22:10] jrib, [22:10] Draxelis, well give me minute to figure out an alternative method [22:10] I opened a email from an account and evolution wasnt able to show the content of the email, this happend with several emails, after i checkt, it wasnt possible to open them on the web interface either! [22:10] hello_world_newb, ok cool. Maybe I'll end up reinstalling ubuntu one day :) [22:11] Draxelis: For commercial paid linux av scanner, Kaspersky [22:11] Draxelis: AVG also makes a linux paid version [22:11] kaspersky is slowing down pc alot isnt it, genii ? I used eset coz it's super light [22:12] Draxelis: You can have good, or you can have fast. Not both [22:12] genii, eset detection rate is very good;) [22:12] genii, http://www.virusbtn.com/vb100/RAP/RAP-quadrant-Oct12-Apr13-12.jpg [22:13] look [22:13] * chalcedony smiles [22:13] if eset detects something, it is good? [22:13] Draxelis, are you able to do a sudo su [22:14] hello_world_newb: :/ [22:14] hello_world_newb: DON'T suggest "sudo su" - it's WRONG [22:14] generally figured with a firewall, linux doesn't get many infections period [22:14] !sudo | hello_world_newb [22:14] hello_world_newb: 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 [22:14] hello_world_newb: dont suggest that here. you were given the root botcommand before [22:14] hello, any one know if there is a 'room' where you can talk about linux certifications? [22:14] hello_world_newb: please don't recommend "sudo su". Use "sudo -i" if you really need a root prompt [22:14] i think its temp... [22:14] :D [22:14] ok [22:14] so [22:15] sudo -i? [22:15] how to do it? === ms|afk is now known as mikestewart [22:15] at this point, i miss ikonia [22:17] jrib, can sudo -i be suggested ? [22:17] 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] 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] hello_world_newb: fyi, if you "need" a root prompt in ubuntu = you're doing something wrong ;) [22:17] chalcedony, test with a 13.04 live dvd [22:17] 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] Draxelis: could you stop that eset commercial and stick to ubuntu support questions? [22:18] chalcedony, it may depend on the exact printer and scanner [22:18] k1l, :D [22:18] chalcedony: what kind of printer does he use? [22:18] k1l, more people use eset, the better will be support on linux [22:18] Draxelis: that is not a topic for this ubuntu support channel. [22:19] k1l, anyway. you should try it lol. :)) [22:19] marianne we have a brother MFC-J6710DW and the scanner is a Memorex 48u flatbed scanner (separate) [22:19] Dr_willis, lovely to see you, thank you [22:20] 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] 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 [22:21] 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] marianne, cool thanks! [22:22] 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 [22:23] marianne, been trying for months with the brother printer. id suggest buying ANYTHING other than brother, it interfaces badly [22:24] 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 [22:25] they have no live support for Linux [22:25] email support doesnt know one linux distro from another [22:25] chalcedony: try here http://welcome.solutions.brother.com/bsc/public_s/id/linux/en/faq_prn.html [22:25] been there [22:26] chalcedony: well poo.... worth a try [22:26] thanks :) === milind is now known as abyss42 [22:27] lots of great errors there, marianne thanks! [22:27] chalcedony: what sound card does he have? [22:28] marianne, do you remember the command line command to find out? [22:28] chalcedony: not off hand.... I suck at command line ... [22:29] ah i'm ssh'd to his box [22:32] chalcedony: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iTlJ8BfqXUjaHO__TEdlkvuqB1WLOkGaudngc5SFLMI/edit I'm assuming you've been here? [22:33] marianne, cool guide! thank you :) [22:34] is there a a way to get a desktop that looks like chrome os? [22:35] i'm looking for anything that seems like sound card - tried lspci, lshw and lsubs [22:35] skin ubuntu to look something like this http://images.wikia.com/en.linux/images/6/66/Chrome_OS_21.0.1172_Aura_Dev.png [22:36] hi [22:36] hi [22:36] how are you? [22:36] i installed fglrx, then i installed generic, then i installed CCC, then i install fglrx again, and now unity does not start when i load start [22:36] hi [22:37] better than i could be i guess [22:37] problem with unity [22:38] have you got the reboot [22:38] ? [22:38] marianne, still here? [22:38] reboot lots [22:40] i think that if you have save a copy of SO, better choice is to reinstall all [22:41] is dmesg or sometihng supposed to say why unity does not automatically start? [22:42] what version of linux? [22:42] I have connected wired dsl on eth0, how can I make my laptop a hotspot so that my phone and one other laptop can share the internet from my laptop? [22:42] how to I set my hdmi to duplicate the screen to my tv and not extend it? Note: Nvidia card [22:43] hi [22:43] i type in unity, and it says another window manager is already running on screen [22:43] compiz says that [22:43] ur0pl: that is not how you start unity [22:43] k1l, please enlighten me [22:44] ur0pl: use "sudo restart lightdm" but this will shutdown the x-server and show the loginscreen again [22:45] ur0pl: if unity doesnt start see the .xsession-errors in the user /home for details [22:46] ur0pl: check this out - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1069199 [22:46] Launchpad bug 1068404 in xserver-xorg-video-intel (openSUSE) "duplicate for #1069199 Low graphics mode in muxless hybrid ATI/Intel GPU systems after fglrx upgrade" [Critical,In progress] [22:47] ur0pl: make sure you have the headers insatlled [22:47] ur0pl, have you done? [22:49] Hey guys, I'm trying to install Seamonkey and I followed all of the instructions in 3 different tuts, but it will not work [22:49] hey, i've got a brand new ubuntu server set up. anyone got any ideas for projects? [22:49] restart lightdm works, but it does not have unity with the left hand panel, that is what unity is right [22:49] abc_harold: minecraft server, LAMP stack, and personal dropbox client is always healpful and learning intensive [22:50] abc_harold: you might get more help with that with a social channel, as that is not a support question. [22:50] ok thanks guys [22:50] bye guys [22:51] unity is that thing with the panel on the levft right [22:51] i dont have that [22:51] hi there [22:51] ur0pl: You have Ubuntu, without any letters in front of it, right? [22:52] anyone know how could I apply the patch mentioned in the first post of this bug? -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/zeroc-ice/+bug/1067545 [22:52] Launchpad bug 1067545 in zeroc-ice (Ubuntu) "Ice C++ Applications not building under (K)Ubuntu 12.10" [Undecided,Confirmed] [22:52] So I extracted seamonkey into my /opt and created a symlink from /opt/seamonkey to /usr/local/bin/seamonkey but it doesnt work [22:52] OiCory, make a script that cd's to the seamonkey directory, then runs the binary. there miught be a script in the package that does that allready [22:53] ok holdon [22:53] does anyone know why in xubuntu the script rfkill block bluetooth is runned before that it need? [22:54] i have regular ubuntu, right [22:54] ur0pl: And you use fglrx right? [22:55] goodnight guys, i leave the chat ;) [22:55] bye, dario_ [22:55] i'm going to uninstall everything and see what is up [22:56] Dr_willis: I'm not very good at scripting... Would a .sh file with the commands "cd /opt.seamonkey*/seamonkey && ./seamonkey" work? [22:57] use the full and proper paths. [22:57] one command per line [22:57] #!/bin/sh [22:58] cd /path/to/the/app [22:58] ./theapp & === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [22:58] hello anyone? I have trouble with Ubuntu after update cause my wifi stop working. [22:58] there might be some seamonkey 'run' script allready in the seamonkey package. [22:58] OiCory: generally you want to use full paths even when you're doing a script, easier to read after the though. [22:58] *thought [22:58] Dr_willis: There is, it is called 'seamonkey' I am trying to run it. [22:59] c_smith: Ok, fixed it but it just opens a blank terminal logged in as root [23:00] OiCory: that might point to a problem with the script they wrote. [23:00] 12.04: What setting/settings manager can change the window resize from the simple outline to actually show the window's content? [23:01] oicory: btw in a script I've found it's safer to use pushd than cd, [23:01] Specifically I want this for testing responsive websites during development. === Motoservo_ is now known as Motoservo [23:01] 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] oicory: depending on how the script is called and how it exits [23:02] iocory: is seamonkey executable? I haven't seen your previous conversation but thought I'd ask [23:03] 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] oicory: is /that/ seamonkey file a symlink to a nonexistant file? [23:05] 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] bbiab [23:05] 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] iocory: file will say either it's a symlink, a script, or a binary executable [23:06] iocory: ah. [23:06] actually there isnt a symlink in /usr/local/bin [23:06] should I make one [23:07] ? [23:07] Anyone an NFS/idmapd expert? [23:07] 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] 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 [23:08] mercury00: typing "which seamonkey" results in nothing [23:08] 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 [23:09] id check askubuntu.com to seeif they got some info on setting up seamonkey [23:09] all the executable files in the folder give the same error, that the file or folder isnt found [23:09] 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] 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 [23:10] melray: will you install dd-wrt or other such open firmware? [23:10] OiCory, you may want to ask in #seamonkey if it exists [23:10] mercury00: so the script should look like #!/bin/sh [23:10] pushd /opt/seamonkey2/seamonkey [23:10] mercury00: I had not planned on it, though had looked on open router [23:10] ./seamonkey & ? [23:11] 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] so THATS what you run [23:12] Dr_willis: btw there is not #seamonkey [23:12] !lis [23:12] !alis [23:12] 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] 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] 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 [23:13] melray: anyway, you're basically just looking for port forwarding. [23:13] MelRay, just don't flash over wifi and if you have a UPC, plug the devices into that to avoid power failure. [23:13] mercury00 dr_willis: ok so I go to /opt/seamonkey and run it? [23:13] OiCory, try it and see.. i said earlier theres most likely a script you run... [23:13] mercury00: Got ya..thanks...you too Gabboz [23:13] melray: yes, you can totally brick the router, so if you do the firmware update, be sure to carefully read the readme's twice. [23:14] Lots of SeaMonkey developers and users also gather on IRC in the #seamonkey channel on irc.mozilla.org [23:14] from the seamonkey homepage/docs... [23:14] 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] 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] Dr_Willis are you a developer? [23:14] nope [23:15] 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] mercury00: Ahh like backing up the firmware to an earlier version... [23:15] 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] my parents randomly decided to bust up in my appartment. lol brb, [23:16] 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] 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, [23:17] 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] Hi [23:17] i dont want to reinstall ubuntu whenever i have a problem [23:17] What's the problem? [23:17] melray: everthing that goes to my ip on those ports only see that server [23:18] ur0pl, you can make a disk image [23:18] Ahhh now I get it...makes sense.. [23:18] elky: You're still in operator mode... [23:18] I put in a second nic...I ran a dual homed box many years back... [23:18] tones, what do you mean? [23:19] any apache2 experts in here? [23:19] ds-labs: possibly [23:20] ur0pl, a program like Clonezilla can act as a quick system restore, and reset your system in just a few minutes [23:20] ur0pl: the panel on the left should be in , what, the view menu I think? You are using nautilus? [23:20] there are others [23:20] vhost question if anyone knows a lot about those I'd like to ask for a PM :) [23:21] DS-labs: ah, is it for sensitive info, or just to not spam the channel? [23:21] ds-labs: because usually, otherwise, it's fine to ask in this channel [23:21] both :) [23:21] I don't want to spam the channel with my questions [23:21] mercury00:: Have you ever played with Zentyal? It is pretty cool..runs on a 12.04 ubuntu server setup...they just added a web interface to setup the different services...pretty fun to do in vmware workstation... [23:22] DS-labs:: Use pastebin [23:24] what is the program, the command line name for that program that allows you to pick sources and what source packages, i need that so i can install additional drivers of fglrx [23:24] ur0pl:: Ummm apt-get? [23:25] ur0pl:: You need to edit /etc/apt/sources.list to add the repos [23:25] in the control panel [23:25] system settings [23:26] what is the name of that, how do i load that from CUI [23:26] ur0pl you mean sudo add-apt PPA [23:26] ooh software sources [23:26] Does anyone here have any experience in setting up a NAS on Ubuntu Sever? I'm having trouble getting the data drives set up. [23:26] there is one that says "Software & Updates" [23:26] i need to load that via CUI [23:27] RudeViper: you will get better answers if you ask better questions [23:28] I would if I knew what to ask. Thats why I was specific with the first part of the question.... [23:28] I'll explain the problem.... [23:29] what NAS device u got? [23:30] I'm using a computer for the nas [23:30] what os does that computer have? [23:30] so your just setting up a network share [23:31] !NAS [23:31] yes - but I can't seem to access the data portion of the drive [23:31] I have a 500 gb hd partitioned to 35 gb for the os and the rest for data - I have been following the directions @ https://docs.google.com/document/d/1hFw1YnH9s-1Y9M4VPLgPOOjm1iH6PJOHefg5NhGC4oA/edit?pli=1 [23:31] I have added a 1tb also and that one I can access - but not the rest of the 500gb [23:31] what command will give me this sort of an output for the partitions: http://pastie.org/8002673 ? [23:33] df [23:33] cheers [23:34] RudeViper, you mean you cant access because of permission? [23:34] Gotta run thanks everyone for the help! [23:34] not exactly actually df doesn't give me exactly that sort of output, I don't see labels or type [23:34] RudeViper, prolly your samba config is not all setup [23:35] I am not sure - It either doesn't show up - or when I rebooted now it just says can't caccess disc01 [23:35] df -T for type [23:35] Archguy: i've never seen that exact output, so not sure. but "sudo blkid" will show labels... good luck. [23:36] I'm sorry - I typed that wrong - it says can't mount the drive [23:36] RudeViper: have you installed samba? Have you installed swat? Have you defined shares for both shared partitions? [23:36] i'm reinstalling ubuntu. this is getting as bad as windows [23:37] RudeViper: have you defined samba users, and given them samba passwords? [23:37] samba yes - suat - wasn't in the instructions - and shares worked for the 1tb drive but not the other one [23:37] hello guys, I'm trying yo configure an auto-start script using crontab, but for some reaseon doesn't work [23:37] someone can help me? pls [23:38] incidently - the drive I can't access is on the same physical drive as the os [23:38] this is my crontab script: [23:38] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5731046/ [23:38] I installed freenet only to see her contrab line; and copy it [23:38] RudeViper: u should spend some time on samba setup tutorial or something, make sure the partition you want to share is mounted somwhere on your file system and make sure that location is in a share section in your samba config [23:39] but still doen't run the script after reboot [23:39] if I run "/home/facmed/.scripts/run.sh" it work fine [23:39] *"sh/home/facmed/.scripts/run.sh" [23:40] 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] But even if I don't find the answer - this won't be the place I look again [23:40] lol ok [23:43] no one ;_; [23:43] facmed: ive never tried that @reboot thing in my crontab [23:44] ive used initd [23:44] initd? [23:44] yeah [23:44] initd [23:45] but i don't want to run my script in root mode [23:45] 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] only normal user [23:45] it is hard to learn? [23:46] haha [23:46] only for some [23:46] read this [23:46] http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/28 [23:48] ok, thanks [23:48] just one more question [23:48] this is my script [23:48] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5731071/ [23:48] ok I'm back [23:48] Can I run this by init.d without problems? [23:48] only 1 way to find out === lonewolf is now known as Guest31001 [23:54] thanks [23:54] 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 [23:55] OiCory: Please don't paraphrase error messages. What is the exact text of the error message? [23:55] OiCory: is there a reason you don't just use firefox (and benefit from repository updates) [23:56] oh wait I'm thinking of iceweasel [23:56] i didnt paraphrase. it says "run-mozilla.sh: Cannot execute."
