[00:01] <rockyrock> how can I unzip multiple zip files in one directory to one other directory?
[00:03] <elisa87> Can I increase the size of my mounted disk image? because I cannot send anymore file into it! Can you please look at here? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5740456/
[00:03] <elisa87> also when
[00:04] <elisa87> also when I chroot to disk image which is mounted in /mnt and do  # df -h  I receive df: cannot read table of mounted file systems: No such file or directory
[00:05] <roadkill> elisa87: You can probably start by clearing trash and deleting log files.
[00:05] <elisa87> roadkill:  where are the log files located?
[00:05] <roadkill> home directory
[00:05] <roadkill> nuke .cache
[00:06] <roadkill> delete .cache and you'll likely recover a bit of space. install bleachbit and you can free up more.
[00:06] <myersg> hey I need help making a bootable Flash drive from the terminal
[00:08] <elisa87> roadkill: there's nothing esp in home mona / # cd home/

[00:08] <Casey> If I have an FTP server, is FTPS connections already included?
[00:09] <roadkill> elisa87: I have no idea what you managed to do to run out of space without anything in home to delete
[00:09] <elisa87> roadkill: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5740467/ can you look at here
[00:09] <elisa87> roadkill: sudo mount -o loop,offset=32256 linux-x86.img /mnt/  I have mounted the linux-x86.img using this command!
[00:10] <roadkill> ... you mounted an iso and you're wondering why you have no space on that filesystem?
[00:11] <dk0r> i just loaded ubuntu live 13.04 on a tablet pc but the on screen keyboard (osk) does not seem to work. I enabled the osk via settings > accessibility > typing > and turning on the osk. How do I get the osk to appear
[00:11] <utfans05> usr13_: did you sent me a pm or tell someone to send me a pm?
[00:11] <roaet> Hallo!
[00:11] <myersg> can someone help me with putting an OS on to a bootable flash drive?
[00:12] <ruh> Use Universal-USB-Installer
[00:12] <roadkill> myersg: unetbootin.
[00:12] <ruh> :P
[00:12] <roadkill> Or that.
[00:12] <roaet> I'm trying to figure out how to install the most recent (unstable) version of this package: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tmux . Is there a google string that can lead me to the right direction?
[00:12] <ruh> How is everyone then? :D
[00:12] <TKing> I want to buy laptop now anyone with a recommendation for ubuntu? with full graphic support etc i use my laptop for gaming and programming
[00:12] <Ogham_> Confused this evening :)
[00:12] <qin> !source | ruh
[00:12] <ruh> I'd go for the Dell XPS 13, it's a nice system.
[00:13] <qin> ruh: sorry wrong tab
[00:13] <myersg> roadkill:  I already tried but it faild, said somthing about no boot, when I tried to boot it
[00:13] <marianne_> TKing: I've had really good luck with Sony Viao's and loading linux on them
[00:13] <roaet> qin: i'm guessing that was for me.
[00:13] <roaet> So it's a source file only?
[00:14] <qin> roaet: what version is in repos?
[00:14] <roaet> qin: I'm not sure how to answer that question. 1.7 I believe.
[00:14] <roaet> That is what I have right now.
[00:14] <TKing> marianne_ which model of spny? i need a laptop with high spec? no or minimal graphics as hp gives problems
[00:15] <TKing> no or minimal graphics problem
[00:15] <roadkill> myersg: You cannot mount an ISO as a filesystem that can be treated like a hard drive: The ISO is an image and is fixed. You need to install FROM the ISO before you can use the system.
[00:15] <TKing> ruh what is ur spec of laptop in terms of memory/hdd/processor/graphics??
[00:16] <marianne_> TKing: and will work. I've had a few of them and never had issues. They have some nice ones (don't know model numbers off hand) How much do you want to spend?
[00:16] <roadkill> TKing: Depends on how much GPU power you need.
[00:16] <roaet> qin: I get 1.7-3 if I do apt-get source
[00:16] <qin> roaet: ppa have 1.5 and source is 1.8
[00:16] <myersg> roadkill: I know that, but every time I try to do this, it some how fails
[00:16] <roadkill> You can buy a Google Chromebook for $199 and that comes with Intel HD 3000 graphics, which is sufficient for basic gaming.
[00:16] <myersg> when I did it on OpenSuse, it worked fine
[00:16] <TKing> roadkill, marianne_ i need high spec i am willing to spend $1500 or ?800
[00:17] <Ogham_> How do I install unionfs on 13.04? I can only see mhddfs or unionfs-fuse
[00:17] <roadkill> myersg: Burn the ISO to CD. Boot from CD. Or use UniveralUSB INstaller or UNetBootin to put the ISO onto a thumbdrive and boot from that. You're mounting what is a READ ONLY FIXED SIZED image.
[00:17] <marianne_> TKing: check their web site
[00:17] <qin> roaet: http://community.linuxmint.com/tutorial/view/162 this may help, but if not needed use official version
[00:18] <elisa87> what's the solution? ls: cannot access /usr/bin/apt*: No such file or directory
[00:18] <roadkill> TKing: https://www.system76.com/laptops/
[00:18] <roaet> I'm trying to figure out how to get apt-get source to use the official 1.8 version atm
[00:18] <Casey> When you install the FTP server for ubuntu 12.04 is FTPS connections automaticly allowed?
[00:18] <TKing> roadkill i am wondering can i install windows 8 in system76 as in dual booting?
[00:19] <qin> roaet: there is no 1.8 for ubuntu apparently, maybe debian source, but doubt it, use source from tmux site
[00:19] <roaet> https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tmux doesn't have the source?
[00:19] <roaet> saucy salamander I guess?
[00:20] <roadkill> TKing: Intel based laptops are very well supported in both Ubuntu and Windows.
[00:21] <pZombie> test
[00:21] <Casey> When you install the FTP server for ubuntu 12.04 is FTPS connections automaticly allowed?
[00:22] <pZombie> How do you copy symbolic links instead of the actual file into another folder using ubuntu?
[00:22] <qin> roaet: oh, neat ppa. most likely dependencies will suck
[00:22] <pZombie> i tried cp -l after reading the help, but i think that does not work
[00:22] <pZombie> ls
[00:22] <Ogham_> Does unionfs/aufs only write differences (e.g. a few bits for chmod) to the rw/memfs fs of br:/tmp/memfs:/mnt/sdb1=ro none /tmp/combined? Or does it copy whole files from the ro fs to the rw fs?
[00:24] <Ogham_> e.g. mount -t tmpfs -o size=10M none /tmp/memfs; mount -t aufs -o br:/tmp/memfs:/mnt/sdb1=ro none /tmp/combined
[00:27] <roaet> qin: Yeah I'm trying it out right now. I had to dist-upgrade saucy, which may be terrible.
[00:28] <qin> roaet: haha, looks like you need to /j #ubuntu+1
[00:29] <roaet> qin: wait.. that's a thing?
[00:30] <roaet> it appears to be a thing. lol
[00:30] <qin> roaet: do you really want to upgrade to alfa? what a difference between 1.7 and 1.8?
[00:30] <roaet> qin: quite a bit actually. well. yeah. I'm in a VM anywho, so if it messes up... ehhhh
[00:32] <roaet> It's building!!!!
[00:32] <roaet> :o
[00:33] <roaet> it's... beautiful!
[00:34] <marianne_> roaet: congrats!
[00:35] <roaet> There are lots of changes, but resize-pane learnt '-Z' for zooming a pane temporarily. is totally worth it
[00:35] <roaet> I can finally zoom a tmux pane without janky scripts
[00:36] <qin> hmm? can you have "sticky" panes between windows and sessions, for irssi i.e.?
[00:36] <roaet> qin: Oh I should look that up.
[00:36] <roaet> Let's find out.
[00:38] <inhale_py> hi all, how do I access my windows partion from a live cd?
[00:38] <roaet> qin: no :( but that would be an awesome feature. I need some sticky panes.
[00:38] <roaet> qin: I currently do it by sticking tmux in screen
[00:40] <qin> roaet: pity, I used to use embedded sessions, it just to many shortcuts
[00:41] <roaet> It is kind of a pain :( but as long as the escapes are different then it isn't so bad.
[00:42] <qin> inhale_py: is it listed in: sudo fdisk -L
[00:42] <qin> inhale_py: sudo fdisk -l
[00:42] <TKing> marianne_ which video driver does sony use? can't seem to find it on their web
[00:43] <marianne_> TKing: i think it's nvidia
[00:44] <marianne_> TKing: yeah it's NVidia
[00:44] <DS-Labs> hey guys
[00:45] <marianne_> TKing: Intel processors too... like I said it was a very easy load to get everything looking

[01:08] <pump> Hi. I was looking for some help to "recover" a partition.
[01:09] <pump> I'm not quite sure the partition has failed or there's a problem with permissions. But I can only see a lost+found directory.
[01:09] <pump> According to gparted, the data is there.
[01:11] <guest_33200482> nexus 7 and ubuntu touch: can i make calls with it?

[01:16] <battlehands> how do I attach files to an email from a directory with a . in front?  example: ~/battle/.etomologs/"my files are here"
[01:17] <somsip> battlehands: CTRL h will usually show hidden files in a GUI selector
[01:19] <battlehands> somsip: perfect.  thank you.
[01:19] <somsip> battlehands: np - and it toggles to hide them again

[01:30] <pump> Hi. I need some help with a "broken" partition.
[01:30] <Sinistry> So I'm a total noob and I'm trying to install Ubuntu onto an external hard drive, but instead of booting up I get a grub screen.... Even though I've set my bios to boot from the external drive I still have to choose Ubuntu intead of windows in oder to get to the grub screen where I cease to progress....anyone have any suggestions?
[01:31] <edag0> If you have 2 OS (doen't matter in what HD) always the grub will show up
[01:31] <cherryreds> Also why in an external hard drive just partition
[01:31] <Sinistry> so how do I get into Ubuntu via gru?
[01:31] <Sinistry> grub*
[01:32] <edag0> Just select Ubuntu in the grub
[01:32] <cherryreds> And hit enter
[01:32] <Sinistry> I want to load Ubuntu to external...get cozy with it then xfer all data to it so I can eliminate windows
[01:32] <layer3> [jkjkjkjk] i downloaed the desktop verision UNBUNTU 13.04 for my laptop UNETBOOTING dose not have that verision it just goes to 12.04 LIVE as the highest in that list do i just pretend it the UNBUNTU 12.04 LIVE 32-BIT and usr that as the UBUNTU 13.04 instead
[01:33] <Sinistry> ...I don't understand.... grub is all text input...there is no selection...
[01:33] <edag0> Try it with -Tab or with the arrow keys
[01:33] <cherryreds> Use arrow keys
[01:33] <qin> Sinistry: and enter
[01:34] <cherryreds> Then it should boot
[01:34] <Sinistry> can I access this room via a mobile device?
[01:34] <cherryreds> If not your gonna have to edit grub-config
[01:34] <cherryreds> What mobile device
[01:34] <Sinistry> iphone 5
[01:34] <Sinistry> non jb
[01:34] <Sinistry> :-(
[01:35] <cherryreds> Oh idk any irc clients you should Google it

[01:38] <edag0> Hi
[01:38] <layer3> [jkjkjkjk] HI ALL
[01:39] <edag0> #layer3 idk what you are trying to do
[01:39] <edag0> Hi walker
[01:39] <somsip> layer3: when you use netbootin, it either downloads the ISO for you (from the dropdown menu) or you install from the ISO you have already downloaded. But I'm not sure what you are trying to achieve here. Also, see !patience and please lose the [jkjkjk] prefix on everything you say
[01:39] <layer3> Huh
[01:41] <layer3> [jkjkjkjk] im useing the USB stick to install UBUNTU as my main OS
[01:41] <edag0> ohh I get it now
[01:41] <somsip> layer3: so use the
[01:41] <layer3> Huh
[01:41] <cherryreds> Theres two options in unetbootin you should go to the bottom of the window and click the circle foe you own iso then select where your iso is saved and burn it and you dont have to capitalize ububtu
[01:41] <somsip> layer3: so use the ISO you downloaded and stop saying 'huh' constantly. It adds nothing to your query
[01:42] <layer3> Huh
[01:42] <layer3> [jkjkjkjk] i knoe hoe yo do all of that
[01:43] <bshambaugh> JOIN #swig
[01:43] <lostlogix> hello?
[01:44] <bshambaugh> sorry lostlogix, that was inadvertent
[01:44] <bshambaugh> Can I help you?
[01:44] <lostlogix> thats ok . . .
[01:44] <lostlogix> im just looking for some advice
[01:44] <somsip> !ask | lostlogix
[01:45] <lasindi> I installed Adobe reader and want evince to be my default, but also want Adobe reader to show up under "Open With ..." in the context menu. When I try to set "Document Viewer" as the default, Adobe reader completely disappears from the list of applications, which is not what I want. Anyone know how to fix this?
[01:45] <lostlogix> im looking for the best method to get a Tandberg LTO-4 HH drive working in linux.
[01:45] <somsip> lostlogix: in linux, or with ubuntu?
[01:46] <lostlogix> ubuntu. sorry.
[01:46] <somsip> lostlogix: just checking :)
[01:46] <layer3> [jkjkjkjk] i know how to use the UNETBOOTINGbut i got a problem highest UBUNTU they have on the list is UNBUNTU 12.04 LIVE and not the UNBUNTU 13.04 do i pretend the UNBUNTU 12.04 LIVE as the UBUNTU 13.04
[01:46] <layer3> [jkjkjkjk] ans select the UBUNTU 12.04 LIVE and select that instead
[01:47] <steven> whats the easiest way to extract a deb file and see what its actually going to to, like where to move files, etc?
[01:47] <somsip> layer3: you've been given an answer twice. Just choose something like 'From ISO' and select the 13.04 iso file you downloaded
[01:47] <layer3> Huh
[01:47] <cherryreds> We've told you what to do layer3
[01:47] <cherryreds> And steven from cli or gui
[01:47] <steven> doesn't really matter
[01:47] <steven> either way is fine
[01:48] <somsip> lostlogix: have you seen this (I know nothing about this stuff) http://is.gd/kMQFjf
[01:48] <cherryreds> Unzip it and look for a .sh file
[01:48] <steven> oh, well didn't know that it could be that simple :D, brb
[01:49] <steven> ah damn...vm is still booting, anyway so cherryreds its just a zip archive with the binary data and a sh script?
[01:50] <lostlogix> somsip: yes i've seen that. ty. my drive functions "properly?" with tdtools, But when i tar - i get input/output error.
[01:50] <cherryreds> Usually
[01:50] <cherryreds> What package is it
[01:50] <cherryreds> There might be a readme
[01:51] <steven> phpmyadmin package, I need to manually install it because the depenencies in 12.04 lts is blocking my setup
[01:51] <steven> stupid, isn't it? :D
[01:51] <somsip> lostlogix: sorry - I have no idea at all. Maybe the Tandberg forums, or the backupcentral forums would have people who are expert in these matters
[01:51] <layer3> [jkjkjkjk] i know how to use the UNETBOOTING software  LAYER 3  i just that 13.04 desktop is not on the list do i select the 12.04 live and use that instead as the UNBUNTU desktop 13.04
[01:51] <cherryreds> Did you try to install it with the software center
[01:51] <somsip> layer3: do you want help?
[01:51] <layer3> Huh
[01:51] <cherryreds> Steven
[01:52] <pump> that huh is totally annoying
[01:52] <lostlogix> somsip: ok, i will look there. thank you for your time.
[01:52] <steven> cherryreds: its a headless (feel free to talk real to me, I use linux since years as desktop system as well) I also use puppet to automate it
[01:52] <somsip> lostlogix: much use as it was, your welcome :)
[01:52] <cherryreds> I'm new to irc is there a vote kick or ban
[01:53] <somsip> cherryreds: no. We ask politely, and if someone is breaking the rules you call for !ops (emergencies only)
[01:53] <cherryreds> Ok
[01:53] <steven> the thing is, U1204 lts needs php-mysql which I don't wanna use, I want to use the native driver which would be php-mysqlnd - to install that though I'd have to remove the php-mysql package which also removes phpmyadmin
[01:53] <madprops> being new already wanting to ban people
[01:53] <somsip> cherryreds: well, we ask politely here. Other channels have their own rules ;)
[01:53] <steven> long story short - its stupid in 1204 and fixed in 13.04 but since its a server I want to stick to lts
[01:53] <cherryreds> I wanted to kick not ban but i wanted to know just so id knoe
[01:54] <cherryreds> Know
[01:55] <steven> still provisioning it..
[01:58] <steven> cherryreds: cannot unzip it using unzip
[01:59] <steven> which tool would I use to extract the deb file?
[01:59] <cherryreds> Tar?
[01:59] <cherryreds> You tried tar?
[01:59] <steven> what what param? :D
[02:00] <somsip> steven: dpkg-deb -x *.deb /tmp/extract/
[02:00] <steven> somsip: thank you!
[02:00] <somsip> steven: I'm sure I didn't do that last time though. I used ar http://is.gd/6mwasp

[02:00] <gksmithlcw> Greetings... I just threw 13.04 on a flash drive because my hard drive died but I have no audio and can't seem to find a way to look for / install audio drivers. The pc is an HP dv7t-7300 QE.
[02:01] <gksmithlcw> Any suggestions?
[02:02] <irpapabear> hello all
[02:02] <Ruh> Hello, sir
[02:02] <gksmithlcw> Greetings.
[02:02] <steven> somsip: thank you, either way worked
[02:02] <somsip> steven: np
[02:02] <Ruh> I have to say, irssi on Ubuntu is amazing.
[02:02] <steven> no Ruh
[02:03] <steven> just "irssi is amazing"
[02:03] <gksmithlcw> I haven't used IRSSI in ages. It's good stuff.
[02:03] <steven> gksmithlcw: it didn't change in ages :D
[02:03] <gksmithlcw> I figured as much. :-)
[02:03] <Ruh> They just updated it I believe. :D
[02:03] <Ruh> However, it hasn't changed in the slightest.
[02:03] <veryhappy> steven: yea but irssi doesn't have a possibility for links.
[02:04] <steven> veryhappy: I don't quite understand?
[02:04] <somsip> veryhappy: You mean, you can't click on them?
[02:04] <qin> veryhappy: explain?
[02:04] <veryhappy> hold on guys
[02:04] <Ruh> That's true. I usually usThat's true, I usually use xchat. However I try to use my terminal as much as possible, so I thought i'd give this a try.
[02:04] <veryhappy> i can't type that fast like a thunder
[02:04] <veryhappy> steven: when i used irssi and i really liked it, i missed a scroll function and link clicking
[02:05] <steven> well I use tmux as well and I can scroll and click like there was no tmr
[02:05] <Ruh> You can scroll, not click links however.
[02:05] <somsip> veryhappy: pgup and pgdown, clicking is enabled in your terminal (.Xdefaults in my case)
[02:05] <steven> Ruh: its either tmux or zsh, but I am able to click on links
[02:05] <SonikkuAmerica> I would use irssi if I had it in OpenIndiana, but they have XChat 2 as well
[02:05] <veryhappy> somsip: not on tty1-6
[02:05] <gksmithlcw> Yeah, I'm an XChat fan as well. But IRSSI is GREAT as far as terminal apps are concerned. I used to have it installed on a server which I'd ssh into from wherever so I could chat.
[02:05] <SonikkuAmerica> *or just XChat 2 even
[02:05] <Ruh> Ah..
[02:05] <gksmithlcw> LOL
[02:05] <steven> why would you want to click on a link in tty1-6?
[02:06] <somsip> veryhappy: yeeesssss
[02:06] <SonikkuAmerica> steven: Sometimes links have context in them
[02:06] <alien64> #ubuntu-offtopic ppl
[02:06] <veryhappy> steven: when you use for example irssi in a support chat like ubuntu or something then they might give you some links
[02:06] <qin> veryhappy: irssi scroll, and with /exec you can open links in elins perhaps
[02:06] <Ruh> *cough*pr0n*cough*
[02:06] <gksmithlcw> So, how does one go about finding drivers in 13.04? I've been away for awhile.
[02:06] <veryhappy> it's ok
[02:07] <veryhappy> at least i know how to scroll then, thanks
[02:07] <steven> but without X what are you gonna do? you have no mouse to click on it anyway
[02:07] <SonikkuAmerica> gksmithlcw: For proprietary stuff, use !jockey ; for open-source stuff, Google for compatibility.
[02:07] <steven> and even if you could click on it, what do you gonna use, lynx?
[02:07] <SonikkuAmerica> steven: elink2
[02:07] <SonikkuAmerica> *elinks2
[02:07] <steven> so SonikkuAmerica veryhappy it might sound stupid, I don't get it though
[02:08] <Ruh> Anyone still using Ubuntu 10.04? I shall never leave Gnome 2's side. XD
[02:08] <pump> What's the best way to recover files from a "broken" ext3 partition?
[02:08] <veryhappy> steven: if you're really on the ttys in the text mode then you can't click and you have to write each letter down on another pc for the links or something else
[02:08] <SonikkuAmerica> !best | pump, keep this in mind
[02:08] <somsip> veryhappy: maybe this is adaptable to elinks or w3m or whatever http://is.gd/iSXwfK
[02:08] <veryhappy> can someone please tell me what monitor configurations like 2x2 or 4x1 or 4x2 are good for?
[02:08] <gksmithlcw> I'm not finding anything. This system is VERY new. Not even Win8 has all it's drivers on disc.
[02:09] <SonikkuAmerica> Ruh: GNOME 2 is deprecated and vulnerable. Use MATE instead.
[02:09] <steven> SonikkuAmerica: hm I see, but like I said, I can click on stuff - maybe its just because I use zsh or tmux and one of those enables it somehow
[02:09] <somsip> pump: maybe this will help http://extundelete.sourceforge.net/
[02:09] <steven> works for me : D
[02:09] <SonikkuAmerica> Ruh: There's a GNOME 2 fallback mode in 12.04
[02:09] <pump> thanks somsip
[02:09] <veryhappy> somsip: when i'm supposed to execute that?
[02:09] <pump> is it possible that there is a permission problem though? i'm only seeing a lost+found directory when i mount the partition
[02:10] <somsip> veryhappy: its an irssi script
[02:10] <Ruh> Indeed. I believe it varies on the user, I have had no problems with 10.04 and I've been using it since release. Common sense and noscript are my tools.
[02:10] <veryhappy> somsip: i've never used irssi script i'll have to admit
[02:10] <somsip> pump: easy (unsafe) way to check is to 'sudo -i' and then check the directory. Then 'exit' to drop back out of that shell
[02:10] <SonikkuAmerica> gksmithlcw: Maybe you can try Googling "<insert machine model here> ubuntu"
[02:10] <Ruh> Thank you for the information though.
[02:11] <somsip> veryhappy: then you're missing out on THE POWER! Do some reading. You might find some useful stuff :)
[02:11] <SonikkuAmerica> Ruh: I say that because 10.04 desktop is !EOL
[02:11] <SonikkuAmerica> !EOl
[02:11] <veryhappy> somsip: really? i thought it's not that powerful
[02:11] <gksmithlcw> Thanks, SonikkuAmerica but that's exactly what I tried.
[02:11] <steven> veryhappy: you should do some research :D
[02:11] <somsip> veryhappy: and now we're OT
[02:11] <Ruh> Yes, it's a shame.
[02:11] <veryhappy> OT?
[02:12] <steven> off topic, damn it
[02:12] <qin> veryhappy: wonder if #irssi would treat you better after saying what you have said...
[02:12] <somsip> !ot | veryhappy
[02:12] <veryhappy> oh ok
[02:12] <SonikkuAmerica> !ot | Vert
[02:12] <SonikkuAmerica> Vert: Oops, my mistake
[02:12] <veryhappy> somsip: i know
[02:12] <Ruh> I am just website designer, programmer and "pentester" so uprading doesn't concern me.
[02:12] <veryhappy> somsip: i just wanted to ask for the meaning of the abbreviation ok?
[02:12] <SonikkuAmerica> gksmithlcw: Was your computer released on the market yesterday?
[02:12] <veryhappy> well ok, another question i have: can someone please tell me what monitor configurations like 2x2 or 4x1 or 4x2 are good for?
[02:12] <gksmithlcw> The only thing I find is http://www.linlap.com/hp_pavilion_dv7t-7300_quad_edition
[02:12] <steven> ok ubuntu related question again - is there an EASY and QUICK way to just repack something to modify the dependencies
[02:12] <alien64> some ppl dont have to abide by the rules
[02:12] <gksmithlcw> It was released earlier this year.
[02:13] <steven> I just wanna figure out if it would be faster to repack or just manually install some tool
[02:13] <SonikkuAmerica> gksmithlcw: What machine is it?
[02:13] <gksmithlcw> hp dv7t-7300 Quad Edition
[02:13] <somsip> steven: end goal is...?
[02:13] <SonikkuAmerica> Ruh: Suit yourself. I started on 10.04
[02:13] <SonikkuAmerica> GNOME 2 and all
[02:13] <pump> somsip, extundelete says: Searching for recoverable inodes in directory / 0 recoverable inodes found.
[02:14] <Ruh> What would you say your personal favourite is just out of curiosity?
[02:14] <SonikkuAmerica> Ruh: Now I'm on Xubuntu 13.04, which I might convert to Ubuntu Studio
[02:14] <somsip> pump: so it's not there. What led you to this point? What did you do?
[02:14] <Ruh> I have never actually tried Xubuntu, I may give it a go.
[02:14] <veryhappy> SonikkuAmerica: what's ubuntu studio good for?
[02:15] <SonikkuAmerica> !studio | veryhappy, here's the party line on Ubuntu Studio
[02:15] <pump> somsip, i executed  extundelete --dump-names
[02:15] <Ruh> I believe it's used for productivity. Such as video creation, etc?
[02:15] <somsip> pump: no...why do you need to undelete something? What did you do?
[02:15] <veryhappy> thanks
[02:15] <SonikkuAmerica> veryhappy: Not just for that, also for graphics and video
[02:15] <steven> somsip: ok, again - I have a server running 12.04 lts (its a server so lts has to stay - no upgrade) I want to use php-mysqlnd (native driver - faster, better) but using phpmyadmin from the repositories requires php-mysql instead which is the old and crappy driver - but since I can't have mysql and mysqlnd installed simoultaniously I have to either suck up the old driver (which is not gonna happen) or manually install phpmyadmin to get rid of that stupi
[02:15] <veryhappy> ok
[02:15] <SonikkuAmerica> veryhappy: Both GTK+ and Qt apps
[02:15] <pump> my system crashed earlier and i restarted to a grub rescue prompt
[02:15] <veryhappy> good
[02:15] <steven> its fixed in 13.04 but I am not upgrade a server to a non lts
[02:15] <pump> i couldn't recover the grub, even with the live cd
[02:16] <pump> so i reinstalled into the same partition and got it running
[02:16] <SonikkuAmerica> veryhappy: It's also officially a variant of Xubuntu after the release of 11.04
[02:16] <pump> but now when i wanted to mount my /home partition, i realized it was malfunctioning too
[02:16] <veryhappy> really? that's part of ubunt that wasn't splitted that way that it was worth to announce it?
[02:16] <somsip> steven: just phpadmin? Install from the website. I did that before I knew there was a package. It's only a webroot dir
[02:16] <steven> somsip: therefor I need to know, repack phpmyadmin with a fixed dependencies or just manually install  it (I use puppet to automate server setups, so it'd be a onetime puppet script copying the behaviour of the deb file)
[02:17] <pump> somsip, do i have any chance to recover my files?
[02:17] <somsip> steven: without having working knowledge of puppet, I'd say install manually. IMO
[02:17] <steven> u don't know puppet?
[02:17] <somsip> steven: I don't have working knowledge of it
[02:17] <veryhappy> why are people using monitor configurations like 2x2, 1x3, 1x4, 2x4?
[02:18] <steven> oh, should get some though, quite neat tool : ) and actually really simple
[02:18] <SonikkuAmerica> veryhappy: Well, Xubuntu is almost as old as Ubuntu itself; Ubuntu Studio started in 2007 with a GNOME 2 desktop and such, but with the advent of both Unity and GNOME 3 they switched to XFCE, but still retain a lot of GNOME apps, such as Nautilus, Brasero, Rhythmbox, Totem, etc.
[02:18] <somsip> veryhappy: take questions like this to #ubuntu-offtopic please. The channel is busy tongith with real support questions. thanks
[02:18] <veryhappy> thank you SonikkuAmerica
[02:18] <SonikkuAmerica> somsip: *tonight ?
[02:18] <veryhappy> somsip: REAL support questions WTF? i get it
[02:18] <SonikkuAmerica> !wtf
[02:19] <somsip> SonikkuAmerica: figure of speech. It's tonight for most people on here
[02:19] <veryhappy> i'm off here guys.
[02:19] <veryhappy> dang
[02:19] <SonikkuAmerica> somsip: You said "tongith."
[02:19] <SonikkuAmerica> sp
[02:19] <SonikkuAmerica> ZXD
[02:20] <somsip> pump: is the /home partition on the same disk as the root partition?
[02:20] <pump> yes
[02:21] <somsip> pump: and nothing shows on it at all? Are you sure you didn't format it when reinstalling?
[02:21] <pump> no, nothing shows.
[02:21] <pump> i'm sure, i re-checked like ten times
[02:21] <pump> and, according to gparted the data is there
[02:22] <somsip> pump: gparted shows you what, exactly? Pastebin a screenshot if need be
[02:22] <somsip> !pastebin | pump
[02:22] <tucemiux> anyone here knows how to configure a dual boot with win7 when both OSs have their own HD ?
[02:23] <pump> somsip, it shows the partition with space used
[02:23] <gksmithlcw> Gotta reboot and see how persistent this really is... Thanks for the help, anyway.
[02:23] <qin> pump: permissions?
[02:23] <pump> that's what i thought at first, but i can't read it even as root
[02:24] <elisa87> This http://paste.ubuntu.com/5740679/ is the copy of df -i but I cannot copy stuff to the disk image I have mounted in /mnt and I receive this error cp: writing `/mnt/opt/openmp/heartwall_data/heartwall/test.avi': No space left on device
[02:24] <somsip> pump: not sure how reliable gparted is in that respect. An empty partition of mine is showing with 7GB in use, and nothing when mounted and ls'd
[02:25] <pump> thunar also shows the same space used, but says that "some content it illegible"
[02:25] <qin> !testdisk | pump
[02:26] <Kram_> Hello anyone here can help me?
[02:26] <SonikkuAmerica> somsip: You should see what happens when I open GParted in OpenIndiana - it takes up half my hard drive and says everything is blank space.
[02:26] <somsip> !anyone | Kram_
[02:26] <qin> pump: old partition table you can recover with testdisk
[02:27] <pump> I ran it and it didn't show files either. Unless I have to choose some option.
[02:27] <somsip> pump: qin seems to know his hardware stuff better than me so I'm bowing out of the conversation
[02:27] <pump> ok, thanks a lot somsip
[02:28] <pump> qin, what should i look for in testdisk?
[02:28] <qin> somsip: sorry it drop in
[02:28] <Kram_> alright just making sure not everyone is afk. anyways I want to know more about this ubuntu. Just got a linux but Can't really play any decent games because of my OS
[02:28] <somsip> qin: no worries. Some subjects I know, but one's I'm not so hot on...I'm happy to back off :)
[02:28] <fernando_> hello guys, how to i change the password of guest in ubuntu???/?
[02:29] <somsip> fernando_: sudo passwd guest (in a terminal - not sure about GUI)
[02:29] <qin> pump: during instalation, have you left old home untouched?
[02:29] <pump> yes
[02:29] <alien64> gksu
[02:29] <fernando_> very thanks somsip
[02:29] <pump> i know i surely did because i checked and double- and triple-checked
[02:30] <pump> and right now i have home on the / partition
[02:30] <somsip> Kram_: this might be one place to get some info http://is.gd/NsudBS
[02:30] <somsip> and try following the links if you type !steam
[02:30] <qin> pump: you would need to dd /home to have image to recover files from and raw backup
[02:31] <pump> all right, i might need to set up a shared folder because i don't have enough free space here
[02:31] <pump> i can dd over a shared folder, right?
[02:32] <qin> pump: it means old /home partition. with testdisk it is more searching for most recent partition table before overwrite, you can dd it to image file where ever you want
[02:33] <qin> pump: how it happened? how it was overwritten?
[02:33] <pump> qin, it is searching for partition tables.. it returned some lines
[02:33] <pump> my system crashed, i rebooted and got to a grub rescue
[02:34] <pump> it displayed a screen with info when it crashed
[02:34] <pump> but i couldn't make much sense out of it
[02:35] <makara> hi. I'm trying to change my name. I changed it in Ubuntu settings, but when I open a terminal I'm still the old me. What2do?
[02:36] <somsip> makara: you logged out and back in?
[02:36] <makara> somsip: yes
[02:37] <makara> restart actually
[02:37] <javier_> help please! i was prompted that an update was available and now my system looks hosed. the upgrade deleted terminal, chrome, firefox, i lost the cog in the menu (actually I lost everything on the menu bar)
[02:37] <blz> how can I check if a service started with /etc/init.d is running?
[02:37] <qin> pump: in testdisk, what lines?
[02:37] <somsip> makara: explain again what you are trying to achieve and what result you have
[02:38] <lasers> blz: pgrep firefox -- Maybe?
[02:38] <jrib> blz: what do you mean by "started with /etc/init.d"?
[02:38] <blz> jrib:  i mean that I  literally typed `/etc/init.d/privoxy start`
[02:39] <makara> in 'User Accounts' I've change my name, but the linux user is still the same. I want to change it, along with the name of the home directory and any permissions etc.
[02:39] <jrib> blz: ok, in the future, use "service privoxy start" instead.  But you can just do as lasers said: ps -ef | grep privoxy
[02:39] <blz> jrib, okay noted.  Why is service preferred?
[02:39] <elisa87> how can I make some space available here? rootfs                496M  496M     0 100% /
[02:39] <lasers> makara: Name of home directory/permissions don't change. You may have to move/rename it/chown.
[02:40] <jrib> blz: for one, it will not care if the service is defined as a sysv-style service (in /etc/init.d) or with upstart scripts (in /etc/init)
[02:40] <somsip> makara: k - take a look here http://is.gd/712M8w
[02:40] <blz> jrib, okay.  Cool, thanks for your help!
[02:41] <somsip> makara: but not sure about the echo to lightdm.conf and how that will work on your system. Basically, do what you need to do to get root login, i think
[02:41] <makara> lasers, I don't want to create a new user and claim the old user directory because I've installed many programs and some were only installed for user
[02:43] <javier_> how do I get my menu back?
[02:44] <pump> qin, it's still scanning, but it shows this: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=260516
[02:45] <lasers> makara: Looks promising -- but I can't promise you that.  the location of your ho
[02:45] <lasers> (oops). Here. http://superuser.com/questions/40450/how-does-one-change-users-home-directory-in-ubuntu-9-04
[02:45] <qin> pump: What was amount of data you lost?
[02:45] <javier_> i am seeing that all of the libreoffice suite is gone, as well as compiz.
[02:45] <pump> 100 something gb is the partition
[02:45] <javier_> how can I roll back or something?
[02:46] <somsip> lasers: that's not what he needs. That's to move home to somewhere else, not to rename the home
[02:47] <javier_> control-alt-t also is not giving me a terminal...should I just install 13.04 clean again? I really dont want to and lost all of my data
[02:47] <qin> pump: I ment how much data you had in home, more-less?
[02:47] <pump> a little under the 100gb, maybe 80 or 90 something
[02:48] <lasers> somsip: Ah right. (Second 3-upvoted link in that link?)
[02:48] <pump> no, actually... gparted shows the truth, i had like 27gb free
[02:48] <somsip> lasers: sorry, but not really :-) The one I post aboe has it http://is.gd/712M8w
[02:49] <lasers> somsip: Connection timed out. (twice)
[02:49] <pump> qin, do you think it's bad?
[02:49] <aladdin> df
[02:49] <aladdin> just checking :)
[02:50] <makara> somsip, looks really simple. I'll give it a go
[02:50] <somsip> makara: k - good luck :)
[02:51] <qin> pump: yeah. du -sh; after testdisk, did you try to look at that partition as root?
[02:52] <pump> qin, yes... it just displayed the lost+found dir
[02:52] <pump> should i do testdisk /dev/sdb3 -sh?
[02:53] <qin> pump: why?
[02:53] <pump> oh, no.. i misunderstood
[02:54] <pump> du -sh, i execute it inside the partition?
[02:54] <qin> pump: du is another utility, but it is rather pointless, i think you formatted partition during installation
[02:55] <javier_> qin: can you help me?
[02:55] <pump> 1,2 M
[02:55] <qin> pump: leave that partition untill testdisk will comeup with something
[02:56] <pump> ok, but what part of testdisk should i use?
[02:56] <qin> javier_: doubt it, since I am on caffeine overdose
[02:57] <qin> pump: quick read, man testdis, or http://tntcube.in/recover-your-lost-partitions-with-testdisk/
[02:58] <_mote_> morning! anybody knows of an app that will let you have IQ exams?
[02:59] <qin> pump: this what you will try: http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step#A_partition_is_still_missing:_Deeper_Search
[03:01] <pump> qin, thanks... i'm doing a deeper search right now
[03:01] <qin> javier_: did you try to: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -f install
[03:01] <XMLnewbi> trying to install a SSL on my ubuntu server, follow this guid and now my site is 404 :/
[03:01] <XMLnewbi> http://jonwilliams.org/wordpress/2010/12/30/installing-a-godaddy-ssl-certificate-into-apache-ubuntu-linux/
[03:01] <javier_> not yet. will do now. thanks
[03:04] <melow01> NetworkManager issue, nm-applet doesn't list ssids and i spent 30 minutes trying to kill processes but nothing worked. Finally, I rebooted.
[03:04] <cpined> Greetings, I have a problem with the Resolution drop down under the Display settings.  I had to add the the resolution 1280X1024 using xrandr, although this will work from the command line, choosing this option in the Resolution dropdown does not work.
[03:04] <HiThere> Hi guys, I'm setting up a new Linux server and was just wondering is it okay for me to delete the default user accounts such as games, news, etc. ?
[03:04] <qin> melow01: network-manager is deamon, so service stop/start
[03:05] <melow01> qin, service network-manager restart, is that correct?
[03:05] <qin> melow01: sudo service networking restart; me thinkks
[03:06] <melow01> qin, ya I tried a bunch of different commands like that as root but nothing would force nm-applet to list ssids
[03:06] <melow01> qin, only reboot solved the issue. ubuntu 12.04 64-bit
[03:06] <qin> melow01: what chipset is it, do you need driver?
[03:07] <melow01> qin broadcom
[03:08] <melow01> qin, the driver is "brcmsmac"
[03:09] <qin> melow01: yeah, life is unfair, it should be warning label "comes with broadcom"
[03:10] <johnjohn101> broadcom wifi?
[03:10] <javier_> qin: not sure it worked. I still don't have a menu that looks correct. my log in and the cog is not there.
[03:10] <javier_> and the screen is fully visible
[03:11] <elisa87> if anyone has any knowledge about mounting could you please look at this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5740746/
[03:11] <javier_> it also appears as if there are things missing in the system settings. Its like I was part upgraded
[03:12] <melow01> johnjohn101, BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller
[03:12] <melow01> qin, haha
[03:12] <javier_> is there a way I can just reinstall 13.04 while running in 13.04?
[03:13] <cpined> Greetings, I have a problem with the Resolution drop down under the Display settings.  I had to add the the resolution 1280X1024 using xrandr, although this will work from the command line, choosing this option in the Resolution drop down does not work.
[03:13] <johnjohn101> melow01: i have the 4318 and have no issues
[03:13] <lasthopesinyouu> http://broadconnection.bandcamp.com/ <- shits awesome..not spam..good music
[03:13] <Prock81> my boot is full and it cant complete an upgrade cause of it, How do u clean up the /boot partition
[03:14] <Prock81> !boot
[03:15] <Prock81> how to clean up /boot ?
[03:15] <pump> qin, it has scanned 23% of the harddrive and it only lists a NTFS partition... is that possible?
[03:16] <Prock81> how do i remove kernels no longer in use?
[03:17] <somsip> Prock81: maybe this will help http://is.gd/imbYEu
[03:18] <qin> pump: let it finnish, was your /home ntfs?
[03:18] <pump> no, ext3
[03:19] <pump> if an ext3 appears, it could be recoverable?
[03:21] <qin> pump: propably, if not testdisk, then photorec or scalpel, but recovering old partition table is preferable from getting out files from image
[03:22] <pump> all right, thanks a lot qin!
[03:22] <pump> it's listed 2 linux partitions
[03:23] <qin> pump: before you will write anything check for files
[03:24] <qin> pump: look for something very recent
[03:24] <pump> ok, now it displayed more Linux lines
[03:24] <pump> should i leave it to finish scanning?
[03:25] <pump> there are 9 Linux lines
[03:25] <pump> each of them is a partition table?
[03:26] <Prock81> thanks somsip
[03:26] <somsip> Prock81: have you got some diskspace back now?
[03:26] <Prock81> yes 400 some MB
[03:27] <somsip> Prock81: hehe - result!
[03:31] <qin> pump: screenshot?
[03:31] <javier_> qin: as it seems, the update that I was pushed removed gnome shell common. now I have my applications back, well at least some of them. I still don't have my log in or the cog in the menu. any ideas?
[03:32] <javier_> all that is there is the networking icon
[03:32] <qin> javier_: did you use gdm or lightdm? installing one of them may help
[03:33] <javier_> lightdm
[03:33] <cosmo> So, i'm trying to install virtual box on ubuntu 12.04, it asks for the boot cd in /cdrom drive, so I burn the correct version of ubuntu and pop it in, doesn't read. the CD's location is /media, is that the problem?
[03:33] <javier_> in the settings I am still missing items though
[03:34] <qin> javier_: did you get any errors from update
[03:35] <javier_> no. that is the weird thing
[03:35] <pump> qin, here it is: http://imagebin.org/index.php?mode=image&id=260518
[03:35] <javier_> I have no idea what happened
[03:36] <qin> pump: half done ;)
[03:36] <pump> qin, great! do you think i have chances of recovering something?
[03:36] <javier_> getting the menu corrected is the last thing i need though.
[03:37] <dooglus> I'm having trouble with ubuntu 13.04.  Installed it yesterday, and it has crashed twice since.  I figured it was the 'radeon' video driver it was using, so switched to the proprietary fglrx one.  Now I can't do anything.  X locks up at the login screen, and even the recovery boot option doesn'twork
[03:37] <dooglus> help please?
[03:38] <cosmo> why not try using an earlier version of ubuntu dooglus..?
[03:38] <dooglus> cosmo: I just spent 24 hours setting this one up, and have a bunch of work on it I need to save
[03:38] <dooglus> cosmo: if it doesn't work, I guess I'll return the computer and get a different model
[03:39] <dooglus> cosmo: I thought ATI graphics was well supported.  guess I was wrong?
[03:40] <cosmo> i'm not sure, not an expert. but the latest versions tend to lack support.
[03:40] <johnjohn101> dooglus there is a beta version of the proprietary driver that addresses some 13.04 stuff
[03:40] <dooglus> before switching from 'radeon' to 'fglrx' I was seeing glitches in chromium, like this: http://i.imgur.com/Xhda2cP.png
[03:41] <dooglus> johnjohn101: the software sources dialog that I used to switch from open source to proprietary had 3 options: free, proprietary and proprietary-proposed (or similar) I chose the last one.  didn't try the middle one
[03:41] <johnjohn101> http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/AMDCatalyst13-6LINBetaDriver.aspx
[03:41] <dooglus> ty
[03:42] <johnjohn101> i have no idea which one is which.  still to my old intel systm. works flawless but slow
[03:42] <dooglus> nearly went with intel again, but this was cheaper
[03:43] <cpined> Greetings, I have a problem with the Resolution drop down under the Display settings.  I had to add the the resolution 1280X1024 using xrandr, although this will work from the command line, choosing this option in the Resolution drop down does not work.
[03:43] <cpined> the resolution does not change.
[03:43] <makara> somsip, that went fairly well. I posted my comments: http://www.ubuntututorials.com/change-username-ubuntu-12-04
[03:44] <johnjohn101> dooglus: what cpu are you running?
[03:44] <dooglus> johnjohn101: model nameless` : Intel(R) Core(TM) i3-2350M CPU @ 2.30GHz
[03:44] <dooglus> ha
[03:45] <dooglus> irssi completes the 'name' to 'nameless`'
[03:45] <somsip> makara: Some of those are expected give that $USER might be hardcoded in the config files. Did you get the end result you wanted though?
[03:45] <makara> somsip, yeah
[03:45] <somsip> makara: cool
[03:46] <makara> a had an inauspicious mythology
[03:46] <somsip> makara: <boggle>?
[03:46] <makara> my pc was solar and user reptilian
[03:46] <qin> pump: possibly. whole range of options: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery
[03:47] <makara> should be the other way around
[03:47] <pump> qin, what should i do with testdisk when it finishes scanning?
[03:47] <dooglus> when I select (recover mode) from the grub menu, I get to a screen titled "Recovery Menu (filesytstem state: read-only)", if I press the down-arrow to go from 'normal boot' to other options, it freezes
[03:50] <qin> pump: look at files in partitons and if you see your old file write partition table
[03:50] <dooglus> johnjohn101: I gained access to the AMD machine now.  it's running A6-4400M APU
[03:51] <pump> that would "restore" the whole partition?
[03:52] <qin> pump: should. just be carefull and make sure you have correct partition
[03:52] <pump> qin, ok... it's on 72%
[03:53] <melow01> johnjohn101, sorry just saw your message about the 4318 wifi. thanks.
[03:54] <melow01> johnjohn101, unfortunately my 4313 acts strange sometimes... it will show an empty wifi icon in nm-applet and when i click on the icon
[03:54] <melow01> there is no list of ssids
[03:54] <FoShizz> can i get some help with ubuntu? I'm new to it and I'm having some issues.
[03:55] <johnjohn101> melow01: i had to leave the sta driver and go back to the b43.  I was getting core dumps on the former
[03:57] <dooglus> FoShizz: what help you need?
[03:58] <FoShizz> well i recently installed it and im unsure how to install video card drivers
[03:58] <FoShizz> i had to boot in nomodeset
[03:59] <ltdan> hello
[03:59] <dooglus> FoShizz: funny.  I'm in a text terminal now 'cos I can't get the graphics working either
[04:00] <savio> ltdan: hi
[04:00] <FoShizz> mine is rediculous
[04:00] <dooglus> FoShizz: I think the graphics drivers usually get installed automatically
[04:00] <dooglus> !fglrx
[04:00] <ltdan> what graphics you usings
[04:00] <FoShizz> every time i try to move the terminal it keeps sending errors
[04:00] <FoShizz> i have an nvidia geforce4
[04:01] <FoShizz> its a really old card
[04:01] <FoShizz> im trying to install ubuntu on it to use as a media server
[04:01] <ltdan> anyone know anything about bios upgrades on ubuntu
[04:02] <ltdan> im on a dell laptop
[04:02] <utfans05> ltdan: bios updates are typically done through the bios, not through the OS
[04:02] <FoShizz> why do you need to update your BIOS?
[04:02] <utfans05> ltdan: most of the times you download the updated version of the bios and inside your bios you can choose to update it.
[04:03] <asharas> Hi all
[04:03] <FoShizz> updating the BIOS does not reap any perfomance enhancements
[04:03] <ltdan> ok need to upgrade bios on a dell vostro laptop apparently for a better battery aligrathim
[04:03] <FoShizz> oh i see
[04:04] <asharas> got a question: I'd like to turn off/on my usb ports, I saw several methods and one of it advice to do this echo suspend > /sys/bus/usb/devices/usb1/power/level
[04:04] <SattvaIz> hey ya'll. am running Ubuntu 13.04 , and ever since switching from windows to this OS, my wi-fi doesn
[04:04] <ltdan> its so i can unplug without dying haha
[04:04] <FoShizz> http://www.pcworld.com/article/187437/how_to_update_your_bios.html
[04:04] <savio> ltdan: what version of bios are you using
[04:04] <FoShizz> Thats for you ltdan
[04:05] <asharas> my question is, why in /sys/bus/usb/devices I have my 5 usb ports but also 5 symlinks
[04:05] <SattvaIz> running Ubuntu 13.04 and when its idle with Wi-Fi enabled it drains my wi fi so that my other devices can not get a connection, the other devices can connect to my rounter , but they get timed out
[04:05] <FoShizz> It drains your wi fi?
[04:06] <elisa87> sfdisk: ERROR: sector 0 does not have an msdos signature   (What should I do ? ) http://paste.ubuntu.com/5740880/
[04:06] <FoShizz> Like occupies ALL the bandwidth?
[04:06] <SattvaIz> Ubuntu 13.04 is draining my wi fi signal to the point thtat my iPhone can not even dowload a mp3 file wihtout timing out. how do i tell Ubuntu not to take up all my band width from my router ? is someone proxying my internet connection when Ubuntu is up and running ? is this possible ? i thought Ubuntu was safeer than windows?
[04:07] <Asharas> !1
[04:07] <Asharas> ups
[04:08] <Asharas> wrong term
[04:08] <SattvaIz> Foshizz yes .
[04:08] <dooglus> what's the command to shut down xorg?
[04:08] <FoShizz> That's really odd.
[04:09] <SattvaIz> i said when Ubuntu is running , i can not even download an mp3 on my iphone, it has router connection , but it times out ... but when i turn wi fi off on ubuntu , its all better . i know its Ubuntu doing this but how and why ?
[04:09] <FoShizz> You are sure it isn;t the hardware?
[04:09] <dooglus> it's downloading lists ofpackagesmaybe?
[04:09] <SattvaIz> FoShizz , not a hardware issue here
[04:10] <FoShizz> Hmm
[04:10] <FoShizz> monitor the traffic
[04:10] <FoShizz> see what pops up
[04:10] <SattvaIz> is there a way to configure how much bandwidth Ubuntu is taking up from my router ? can someone be proxying my internet through Ubuntu ? is there a way to stop this ? I know its Ubuntu because when i disconnct from wi fi its all better
[04:10] <utfans05> thats what i was thinking, dl wireshark and see whats goign on
[04:10] <SattvaIz> Fo Shizz how to monitor my router traffic please
[04:10] <FoShizz> See if your machine is actually absorbing all of the bandwidth and connecting to the internet
[04:10] <SattvaIz> what is dl wireshark in Ubuntu software center?
[04:11] <dooglus> johnjohn101: FYI the ATI driver you linked me to works, but puts a big ugly "AMD Testing use only" in the corner of the screen permanently!
[04:11] <FoShizz> do you have a computer hardwired into the router?
[04:11] <utfans05> SattvaIz: inside a terminal sudo apt-get install wireshark
[04:11] <SattvaIz> FoShizz =NO
[04:11] <johnjohn101> dooglus: other than that all issues resolved?
[04:12] <FoShizz> so all of your devices are on wifi?
[04:12] <SattvaIz> installing Wireshark now please wait one
[04:12] <FoShizz> ok
[04:12] <dooglus> johnjohn101: I can log in now.  with the fglrx-proposed I was offered I couldn't.
[04:13] <FoShizz> i was going to suggest using wireshark or another packet sniffer using a computer that is always connected to the internet
[04:13] <FoShizz> to make sure it really is the laptop's fault
[04:13] <johnjohn101> dooglus: for some reason and I'm not sure it's with every ubuntu but the amd drivers seem to lag 2-3 months.  my brother had the same issue for 10.10
[04:13] <SattvaIz> FoSHizz it must be the laptop because like i said whenever i toggle the wi fi on the laptop, then the iphone can download podcast /mp3 whatever
[04:13] <NaniBot> hello
[04:14] <SattvaIz> but wait one installing wireshark now
[04:14] <FoShizz> okey dokey
[04:14] <dooglus> johnjohn101: reckon there's any way to getrid of the 'test use only' overlay?
[04:14] <dooglus> johnjohn101: and thanks!
[04:15] <niel> what Ubuntu games do you guys like?
[04:15] <johnjohn101> dooglus: http://askubuntu.com/questions/206558/how-to-remove-the-amd-testing-use-only-watermark
[04:15] <Ben64> niel: try asking in #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:15] <niel> ):
[04:15] <FoShizz> left 4 dead is supported i believe
[04:15] <SattvaIz> ldconfig deferred processing now taking place, I assume its okay do start Wireshark now  and close terminal ..
[04:15] <utfans05> !ot | niel
[04:15] <FoShizz> and so is steam in general
[04:15] <surgeterrix> Whatever Steam supports
[04:16] <niel> ok fine
[04:16] <Ruh> Hello my friends, how are you all?
[04:16] <SattvaIz> ok Foshizz , what do i do with this wireshark now its open at the start page
[04:17] <FoShizz> how many devices are connected on your network?
[04:17] <SattvaIz> not sure
[04:17] <SattvaIz> just my laptop and my few iphones
[04:17] <Asharas> Anyone for this usb power trouble?
[04:18] <FoShizz> great
[04:18] <FoShizz> turn all of the wifi on them off
[04:18] <SattvaIz> ok wait
[04:18] <Ruh> Has anyone purchased the Dell XPS 13 Ubuntu/Developers edition and would you recommend it? :P
[04:18] <6JTAASPQ8> ubuntu
[04:18] <Asharas> FoShizz: he coulds have done it in non promiscuous mode
[04:18] <Asharas> could
[04:18] <FoShizz> guys i came here for help... now im like tech support
[04:19] <6JTAASPQ8> how many of you use ubuntu?
[04:19] <FoShizz> i actually dont use wireshark
[04:19] <FoShizz> i use pirni on the ipod touch
[04:19] <Asharas> well, if I can help you FoShizz (not sure but you can ask :p)
[04:19] <FoShizz> its a bit more blackhat
[04:19] <dem0n> FoShizz: that is how it works, that is how the open source community works, you first come for help, then you start helping
[04:19] <Ruh> Still using my GNOME 2 setup on 10.04.
[04:19] <FoShizz> thanks asharas
[04:20] <cpined> Greetings, I have a problem with the Resolution drop down under the Display settings.  I had to add the the resolution 1280X1024 using xrandr, although this will work from the command line, choosing this option in the Resolution drop down does not work.
[04:20] <Ben64> 6JTAASPQ8: seeing as this is #ubuntu, probably everyone here. but this is not a chat room, #ubuntu is for support only. If you want to talk about ubuntu, join #ubuntu-offtopic
[04:20] <SattvaIz> you tha man Foshizz thank you , now i have disabled wifi on everything except the lap top i am using to chat here
[04:20] <FoShizz> when i boot, i have no sidebars
[04:20] <utfans05> SattvaIz: you have to set it up to capture your network traffic. so you need to make it capture your wlan0 traffic
[04:20] <dem0n> SattvaIz: what is your issue?
[04:20] <FoShizz> so no unitry ( i think )
[04:20] <6JTAASPQ8> Ben64: hmm ok
[04:20] <6JTAASPQ8> Ben64: i dont use ubuntu :P
[04:20] <FoShizz> ok satt. now turn on packet sniffing
[04:20] <SattvaIz> demon my issue is that my laptop is using up all the wifi when Ubuntu is just idle
[04:20] <Asharas> oh... sorry FoShizz , I don't use GUI :-/
[04:21] <6JTAASPQ8> i just came here to idle and watch trolls so i'll be quiet again :)
[04:21] <SattvaIz> turning on packet sniffing hold on
[04:21] <FoShizz> oh... what do you use?
[04:21] <Asharas> pure cli
[04:21] <dem0n> SattvaIz: you mean that no other devices can connect to your wifi router when you are using ubuntu?
[04:21] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: me too
[04:21] <FoShizz> thats intentse
[04:21] <FoShizz> wow
[04:21] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: on ubuntu though?
[04:21] <SattvaIz> demon , no the other devices can connect , but they time out
[04:21] <Asharas> yup, ubu serv 12.10
[04:21] <FoShizz> how do you open applications and stuff up?
[04:21] <SattvaIz> Foshizz how to turn on this packet sniffing
[04:22] <Asharas> but I'm still a noobie and want to learn it the hard way :)
[04:22] <dem0n> SattvaIz: doesn't sound like an ubuntu issue, it sounds more like a router problem or a firewall issue
[04:22] <FoShizz> satt there should be a button or somthing
[04:22] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: use slackware
[04:22] <Ruh> What issue is he having?
[04:22] <SattvaIz> ok hold on
[04:22] <johnjohn101> wonder if ubuntu is doing dhcp instead of the router.
[04:22] <Asharas> SattvaIz: select the network interface and start sniffing with the button below
[04:23] <6JTAASPQ8> SattvaIz: you're having trouble using wireshark?
[04:23] <dem0n> johnjohn101: could be a number of issues, maybe he does not have enough bandwith to power all of his devices or like i said a firewall
[04:23] <SattvaIz> there are no interfaces on which a capture can be done
[04:23] <Asharas> O_o
[04:23] <6JTAASPQ8> SattvaIz: run as root
[04:23] <SattvaIz> how ?
[04:23] <dem0n> sudo
[04:23] <Asharas> yep, run as root :)
[04:23] <6JTAASPQ8> sudo wireshark
[04:23] <dem0n> sudo wireshark &
[04:24] <SattvaIz> terminal command sudo wireshark ok wait one
[04:24] <pump> qin, it's finished
[04:24] <Asharas> (I would have used iptraf)
[04:24] <Ben64> gksudo wireshark
[04:24] <SattvaIz> gksudo wireshark ?
[04:24] <6JTAASPQ8> SattvaIz: you must be very new to linux
[04:24] <Ben64> you shouldn't use sudo with graphical applications
[04:24] <dem0n> Asharas: i would have used tcpdump
[04:24] <SattvaIz> yes i am new sorry
[04:24] <FoShizz> guiz ive literally never used ubuntu before
[04:24] <pump> one of the partitions shows the lost+found dir, with a lot of subdirs named #nnnn, with n being numbers
[04:24] <FoShizz> you guys should probably take over
[04:24] <SattvaIz> thanks Foshizz
[04:25] <6JTAASPQ8> FoShizz: ive used it for a few minutes
[04:25] <dem0n> SattvaIz: don't use wireshark, we can come back to that...
[04:25] <SattvaIz> so i am doing gksudo wireshark then wait one
[04:25] <SattvaIz> huh ?
[04:25] <Asharas> +1 dem0n , but iptraf is easier, especially if you only want to monitor traffic and don't dump packets :)
[04:25] <SattvaIz> close wireshark ok.
[04:25] <6JTAASPQ8> SattvaIz: sudo wireshark
[04:25] <SattvaIz> huh ? use it now or not ?
[04:25] <6JTAASPQ8> use it
[04:25] <SattvaIz> lol
[04:25] <Asharas> anyone can help me with my usb ports?
[04:25] <Ben64> SattvaIz: i forget who said it, but the problem is likely to be your router, not ubuntu
[04:25] <6JTAASPQ8> -.-
[04:26] <dem0n> SattvaIz: first how are you using ubuntu? is it the only os on the laptop or are you running it in as a virtual os with vmware player/worksation or virtualbox?
[04:26] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: whats your problem
[04:26] <Asharas> 6JTAASPQ8: trying to turn off/on the usb ports
[04:26] <dem0n> Ben64: that was me =)
[04:26] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: modeprobe
[04:26] <Asharas> or reset it
[04:26] <6JTAASPQ8> modprobe *
[04:26] <Asharas> modeprobe?
[04:26] <cpined> Greetings, I have a problem with the Resolution drop down under the Display settings.  I had to add the the resolution 1280X1024 using xrandr, although this will work from the command line, choosing this option in the Resolution drop down does not work.
[04:26] <Asharas> !modeprobe
[04:26] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: modprobe
[04:26] <SattvaIz> first check this out, when i was running windows i never had this problem , and i am now running Ubuntu 13.04 clean install with nothing wlse going on
[04:26] <Ben64> Asharas: what do you mean "turn off/on"
[04:26] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: man modprobe
[04:27] <Asharas> !modprobe
[04:27] <Asharas> let me explain
[04:27] <SattvaIz> demon running Ubuntu 13.04 clean
[04:27] <6JTAASPQ8> use modprobe
[04:27] <Asharas> I have an external hard drive, which is detected by the bios because in the wrong boot order the OS doesn't launch
[04:28] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: you can use modprobe to remove your usb modules
[04:28] <Asharas> but not detected by the OS one launched, I have to unplug/replug to make it appear in lsisb
[04:28] <dem0n> cpined: okay so when you start your "gui" or window manger kde or gnome? you don't get the resoultion you want? and you have to adjust it with xrandr is that what you are saying?
[04:28] <Asharas> lsusb
[04:28] <FoShizz> ashras
[04:28] <FoShizz> just change the boot order
[04:28] <cpined> yes
[04:28] <Asharas> FoShizz: that's done, read what's going next
[04:28] <dem0n> cpined: are you running KDE or Gnome or xfce?
[04:29] <cpined> xfce
[04:29] <FoShizz> oh
[04:29] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: i dont support ubuntu at all though
[04:29] <Asharas> 6JTAASPQ8: ?
[04:29] <dem0n> Asharas: areyou running only ubuntu or are you running it with a vitual app like vmware player?
[04:29] <cpined> the weird thing is that I had the 1280 resolution as an option under the display
[04:29] <Asharas> only ubuntu
[04:29] <6JTAASPQ8> Asharas: it has spyware
[04:29] <Asharas> dem0n: only ubuntu
[04:29] <Ben64> !fud | 6JTAASPQ8
[04:29] <dem0n> Asharas: i'd almost guaruntee that this is not an ubuntu issue
[04:29] <dem0n> Asharas: what kind of connection are you running?
[04:29] <cpined> but then yesterday it went away
[04:30] <cpined> I wonder if an kernal update messed things up
[04:30] <6JTAASPQ8> isnt ubottu a bot
[04:30] <Asharas> from where to where dem0n ?
[04:30] <6JTAASPQ8> ubottu: it has spyware
[04:30] <6JTAASPQ8> ubottu: test
[04:30] <Ben64> 6JTAASPQ8: stop
[04:30] <SattvaIz> this is an Ubuntu issue because when i was running windows , everything was ok  , now when i toggle wi fi OFF on the Ubuntu desktop , the iPhone immediately can then download mp3/podcast or whatever.
[04:30] <FoShizz> dpkg -l | grep unity ~~~~ what key is that tall line thing?
[04:30] <dem0n> cpined: you are most likely going to have to add the resolution you need in your X11 configuration file
[04:31] <6JTAASPQ8> Ben64: what
[04:31] <Asharas> so dem0n , I'm trying to "remotely" unplug/replug the drive
[04:31] <utfans05> FoShizz: are you talking abotu pipe? |
[04:31] <6JTAASPQ8> !list
[04:31] <FoShizz> yea how do i do that?
[04:31] <utfans05> FoShizz: as in top | grep synergy?
[04:31] <FoShizz> yep
[04:31] <Ben64> !msgthebot | 6JTAASPQ8
[04:31] <cpined> the problem now is that after running xrandr I see the new resolution in the drop down under the Display options, but it does change to that resolution.
[04:31] <dem0n> cpinded: see if you have a file similar to this ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml
[04:32] <utfans05> FoShizz: it takes the output of something and pushes it to another command
[04:32] <6JTAASPQ8> lol
[04:32] <FoShizz> but where is it on the keyboard? Sorry, im super new.
[04:33] <dem0n> cpined: you are going to have to edit /etc/X11/xorg.conf
[04:33] <6JTAASPQ8> FoShizz: i really recommend slackware to linux n00bs
[04:33] <Ben64> FoShizz: depends on your keyboard, but usually shift+\
[04:33] <dem0n> cpined: go here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/#Setting_xrandr_changes_persistently
[04:33] <utfans05> FoShizz: its above the enter bar on mine
[04:33] <Asharas> :'(
[04:33] <SattvaIz> i knew people would get bored with this issue , i could not find any help online from searching help forums wither , no one has this issue for some reason but i have isolated it to Ubuntu running on my wi fi through elimination process
[04:33] <6JTAASPQ8> ?
[04:33] <dem0n> Asharas: sorry i was heping cpined, okay first what kind of connectdion do you have?
[04:33] <cpined> Yes, I do have that file.
[04:33] <Asharas> dem0n: for the hard drive? USB
[04:33] <FoShizz> |
[04:34] <IdleOne> 6JTAASPQ8: mradot go play somehwre else please.
[04:34] <FoShizz> oh
[04:34] <FoShizz> thats a fail :P
[04:34] <dem0n> asharas: no i meant what kind of internet connection, for example i have verizon fios
[04:34] <6JTAASPQ8> i was being helpfull
[04:34] <dem0n> cpined: okay
[04:34] <FoShizz> thanks ut!
[04:34] <Corey> SattvaIz: "Using all the wifi." How are you determining this?
[04:34] <utfans05> FoShizz: anytime
[04:34] <dem0n> cpined: you have xorg.conf or the other file i mentioned?
[04:34] <Asharas> what's the point dem0n ? my server is at home :)
[04:34] <cpined> I have both files.
[04:34] <Ben64> SattvaIz: have you tried another router?
[04:34] <dem0n> asharas: because you are going to have to log into your router
[04:34] <dem0n> cpined: okay
[04:35] <Asharas> O_o dem0n why?
[04:35] <Ari-Yang> for some reason, I have no sound with mpd, anybody have an idea? (I'm on 12.10 and use pulse audio) current config http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=XHGGT7p3
[04:36] <Asharas> dem0n: it's a usb port trouble, my connection works perfectly
[04:36] <kaji331> I copy ~/.config/chromium to new system, but chromium did not recover my tabs, configs and so on. Please help me!
[04:36] <SattvaIz> am running wireshark form root now, how to select with capture ,,, have four options , eth0 eth1 and psuedo capture all - and linux netfilter log etc...?
[04:36] <dem0n> cpined: okay run this command: sudo gedit ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml
[04:37] <dem0n> if you don't have gedit use another edit such as leafpad
[04:37] <cpined> what do I do now?
[04:37] <dem0n> look for the line that says <property name="Resolution" type="string" value="1024x768"/>
[04:37] <Campfire-true> bellow me
[04:37] <Asharas> SattvaIz: choose wireless connection, something like wlan0
[04:37] <dem0n> and you can try and change the value manually
[04:37] <Campfire-true> whoops
[04:37] <dem0n> make a copy of the file first!
[04:38] <cpined> had to use vi since I don't have gedit
[04:38] <SattvaIz> Asaharas there is not that option only the four i said
[04:38] <dem0n> just incase you mess up you can change it
[04:38] <dem0n> so make a backup of the file
[04:38] <Campfire-true> carry on on
[04:38] <kaji331> anyone knows how to move chromium profile to new system?
[04:38] <SattvaIz> choose one or more interafces to capture form etc..
[04:39] <Ben64> SattvaIz: try capture all
[04:39] <SattvaIz> ok hold on
[04:39] <dem0n> Asharas: okay i am confused, i thought the problem was that when you are running ubuntu no other devices can connect to your wireless router that they "timeout" ?
[04:39] <SattvaIz> capturing all
[04:39] <Ben64> dem0n: you're thinking of SattvaIz
[04:39] <dem0n> Ben64: haha!
[04:39] <dem0n> thanks
[04:39] <cpined> this is what it already says - sudo gedit ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml
[04:39] <cpined> sorry
[04:39] <Campfire-true>  no doubt
[04:40] <dem0n> cpined: what do you mean it already says?
[04:40] <cpined> it already says - value="1280X1024"
[04:40] <dem0n> is that the value that you want?
[04:40] <cpined> yes, but my problem is that
[04:40] <Campfire-true> whats the prob can you catch me up to speed
[04:40] <dem0n> cpined: okay then you are going to have to edit the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file
[04:41] <dem0n> cpined: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution/#Setting_xrandr_changes_persistently
[04:41] <cpined> although the resolution appears as an option in the Display Resolution drop down, the resolution does not change after selecting it.
[04:41] <dem0n> that website will help
[04:41] <SattvaIz> ok i am capturing the network traffic on my router now but have no idea what i am looking at here
[04:41] <SattvaIz> this is ridiculous
[04:41] <dem0n> cpined: oh okay...
[04:41] <dem0n> SattvaIz: can you log into your router?
[04:41] <kaji331> please someone tell me how to move chromium tabs, histories, configs and so on
[04:41] <fire> .
[04:42] <Flynsarmy> I just used fsck to fix an ext4 filesystem but now it mounts without journaling. how can i reenable journaling?
[04:42] <fire> worked
[04:42] <SattvaIz> can i log into my router ? well this is getting way out of control now , i have no idea how to do that so i guess i am going to have to go back to windows then sorry
[04:42] <Ben64> SattvaIz: you just have a bad router, its not that big of a deal
[04:42] <SattvaIz> its not a bad router
[04:42] <Asharas> dem0n: no idead?
[04:42] <SattvaIz> how are you saying that are you stoned
[04:43] <Ben64> lets see... connections time out when multiple devices are on... must be the router
[04:43] <dem0n> cpined: change the xorg.conf file to the resolution you want, then reboot and it should start with the resolution that you want, if not then try selecting the resolution size you want log out and log back in and see if it changes
[04:43] <SattvaIz> well lets see, never had the problem with windwos .. bang Ubuntu
[04:43] <Ben64> ok bye
[04:44] <SattvaIz> jerk
[04:44] <Asharas> SattvaIz: easier: do a "sudo apt-get install iptraf" then run it, choose detailed interface stats, choose the right connection and wait for the speed
[04:44] <Guest9606> it
[04:44] <dem0n> Asharas: try rebooting your router, unplug it and plug it back in, if not then you need to find out how to log into your router and you may have to change some setting on your router
[04:44] <dem0n> Shit Asharas sorry
[04:44] <Asharas> dem0n: you didn't understand dude :p
[04:44] <dem0n> SattvaIz: you need to log into your router
[04:44] <Ben64> he's gone
[04:45] <dem0n> Asharas: i keep getting your confused with SattvaIz
[04:45] <Asharas> no routing problem here
[04:45] <Asharas> :p
[04:45] <Guest9606> next question
[04:45]  * dem0n has been up tooo long
[04:46] <campfire> seems we can dig into the the os with all your help
[04:46] <Asharas> well, if someone could tell me how to remotely unplug/replug a usb port, that'd be great
[04:46] <campfire> con grates
[04:46] <dem0n> cpined: try this, chmod +r ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml
[04:46] <dem0n> cpined: after you run that command try changing resolution sizes again and see if it works
[04:46] <Ben64> Asharas: probably won't work
[04:46] <dem0n> cpined: sorry do this: chmod +w ~/.config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/displays.xml
[04:47] <Asharas> why Ben64 ?
[04:47] <Ben64> it's not a simple thing to do, usb spec doesn't really do that
[04:47] <campfire> why people so rude
[04:47] <campfire> iggnents
[04:47] <code46_static> hello... I am paticipating in a crush course and my group has been assign an opengl program and i have been able to get the libraries but when i run test code it cant find the header files error: /usr/bin/ld: error cannot find -lglut.c
[04:47] <Asharas> isn't it possible to turn it off and on by software?
[04:48] <code46_static> can anyone help me solve this
[04:48] <Ben64> campfire: whats your deal? if you don't have a question or an answer, you can stay silent. we don't need random comments
[04:48] <Ben64> Asharas: not really
[04:48] <campfire> fussterated people i just read
[04:48] <dem0n> Asharas: some linux distro's have usb device scripts in /etc/init.d
[04:48] <campfire> we need positive thinking
[04:49] <dem0n> asharas: look in /etc/init.d/usb and if you have something you can restart it from there
[04:49] <dem0n> or like someone said you could try using modprobe
[04:49] <dem0n> modprobe -vr
[04:49] <dem0n> modprobe -v
[04:49] <Asharas> dem0n: nothing like that here
[04:49] <campfire> hows you u -- ben
[04:50] <Ben64> !ot | campfire
[04:50] <dem0n> asharas: okay
[04:50] <dem0n> asharas: this is a long shot...
[04:51] <dem0n> asharas: but you could try this "sudo sh -c "echo 0 > /sys/bus/usb/device location"
[04:51] <SattvaIz> router issue ? i can see it now on Wireshark , someone is trying to hack my computer, but it says warning . encryption alert . and then they stop trying to hack in .. i knew there was something you guys were hiding from me. its probly people off of here trying to hack me!!
[04:51] <dem0n> that could restart your usb
[04:51] <code46_static> i can't run test code it cant find the header files error: /usr/bin/ld: error cannot find -lglut.c
[04:51] <campfire> answere is without a question there is no answere sir
[04:51] <SattvaIz> i can even see the ip address that is trying to hack in
[04:51] <dem0n> SattvaIz: oh ya...because you have port fowarding enabled
[04:52] <SattvaIz> if i knew what port faorwarding was i could deal iwth that comment
[04:52] <dem0n> SattvaIz: let me guess...it starts with 192.168.*.*
[04:52] <Asharas> dem0n: which device location exactly?
[04:52] <SattvaIz> nope
[04:52] <SattvaIz> it is
[04:52] <code46_static> i can't run test code fro opengl it cant find the header files error: /usr/bin/ld: error cannot find -lglut.c please help
[04:52] <dem0n> Asharas: you can pull your usb device location from "dmesg"
[04:52] <s0ulburn_> what is the package that I need to change the desktop from the Unity
[04:52] <Ben64> !nounity | s0ulburn_
[04:52] <SattvaIz> 74.125.135.113
[04:53] <campfire> i,d say replace that line of code
[04:53] <Ben64> SattvaIz: that is google
[04:53] <Ben64> campfire: stop whatever it is you're doing
[04:53] <SattvaIz> 63.245.217.162 tryined to hack me first
[04:54] <Asharas> explain it dem0n , i'm not familiar with this
[04:54] <Ben64> SattvaIz: that is mozilla
[04:54] <SattvaIz> oh
[04:54] <SattvaIz> damn
[04:54] <Ben64> SattvaIz: neither are hacking you
[04:54] <SattvaIz>  i feel like a turd
[04:54] <campfire> doeas anyone see ben64 here
[04:54] <babble> troll
[04:54] <dem0n> Asharas: what usb device are you trying to restart?
[04:54] <Asharas> I runned dmesg | grep USB
[04:54] <Asharas> a hard drive
[04:55] <dem0n> okay..is it listed when you do "lsusb"
[04:55] <campfire> please pm me ben64
[04:55] <FoShizz> how do i create a desktop icon launcher?
[04:55] <dem0n> do you see the device?
[04:55] <SattvaIz> whatever , i guess i will just have to keep toggleing my wi fi on and off every time i want to use any other devices on the same router as Ubuntu because windwos was fine
[04:55] <Asharas> I runned dmesg | grep USB but can't see any file path
[04:55] <Ben64> campfire: no
[04:55] <Ben64> SattvaIz: you should ask in ##networking
[04:56] <Ben64> SattvaIz: i'd bet good money you just have a networking problem, not ubuntu
[04:56] <campfire> seems a waste of time to mess with me when you help like we all do
[04:56] <Asharas> no dem0n , not detected, only 5 usb ports
[04:56] <Ben64> campfire: you're just spamming. stop it
[04:56] <IdleOne> campfire: you need to stop with the off topic commentary please
[04:56] <campfire> or don,t
[04:56] <Asharas> Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
[04:56] <Asharas> and when detected it appears as Maxtor
[04:57] <SattvaIz> 199.7.57.72  ?
[04:57] <dem0n> asharas: well if its not detected then i am not sure that you can restart it
[04:57] <FoShizz> does anyone know how to make a desktop launch icon from terminal?
[04:57] <Ben64> SattvaIz: verisign
[04:57] <SattvaIz> damn
[04:57] <SattvaIz> what is a fire wall and how do i get one?
[04:57] <campfire> anyways carry on carry on my rules are beyound yours
[04:57] <Ben64> !ufw | SattvaIz
[04:58] <dem0n> SattvaIz: if you have a clean install of ubuntu i am sure you do not have any firewall rules in place
[04:58] <SattvaIz> do i want to put fire wall rules into place?
[04:58] <dem0n> SattvaIz: chances are you need to restore your router to its default settings and that will clean everything up and you will be able to connect all of your devices
[04:59] <dem0n> SattvaIz: you may not have enough bandwith to power all of your devices as well
[04:59] <SattvaIz> damn, i am in thailand and someitmes they have to come to the house to reset the router .. will call isp and sort it out thanks Ben64 and demon and other sorry for newbie bs later and cheers
[04:59] <dem0n> asharas: if you can reboot your computer it may pick up the usb harddrive and if its detected we can restart it
[05:00] <dem0n> SattvaIz: np
[05:04] <dem0n> it got really quiet in here all of a sudden...
[05:05] <linu> Hi all,i am using ubuntu distro in that i want to enable tftp communication i have followed  "http://www.davidsudjiman.info/2006/03/27/installing-and-setting-tftpd-in-ubuntu/"  this link even thought i could transfer file throught tftp can any one help me how to solve this issue.
[05:05] <Asharas> dem0n: actually I often reboot the server, and it doesn't detect the drive
[05:07] <infexion> I am having an issue with my multiple monitor setup on Ubuntu 12.04. My primary display (DVI) keeps becoming the secondary display to my TV (VGA). This happens anytime that I reboot or logout and back in. Is there any way to set my Primary Display to ALWAYS be my primary display?
[05:07] <infexion> Any answers to this would be greatly appreciated
[05:09] <FoShizz> infexion i think you can change the settings within catalyst. (that is if you have an amd gpu)
[05:10] <infexion> FoShizz: Sorry I forgot to mention that I am using a Nvidia Geforce FX 9800+
[05:10] <infexion> FoShizz: When I boot up I have to go into Nvidia-settings to change the monitor to the Primary Monitor
[05:10] <FoShizz> isnt there an nvidia card utility of some sort? equal to what catalyst does for smd?
[05:10] <FoShizz> amd*
[05:11] <infexion> FoShizz: yes there is an it works but only temporarily.
[05:11] <FoShizz> can you set the tv as the default there?
[05:11] <dem0n> Asharas: that is the thing...if the operating system is not detecting the usb hard drive then there is no symbolic link to the device then there is no way to reset the usb hard drive because you can not send any values to it you can't do the "echo 0 > /sys/bus/blah/blah" because there is no link to the device
[05:12] <Asharas> back again
[05:12] <infexion> FoShizz: Yes I can set the TV as the default. But that would not be the display that I would like to have set as primary.
[05:13] <Asharas> can I send suspend to /sys/bus/usb/blabla/usb1/power/control ?
[05:13] <FoShizz> i fiddled with catalyst till my ipod became my second monitor. im not sure what to do with nvidia though. sorry
[05:14] <infexion> FoShizz: Thank you for your suggestions.
[05:14] <infexion> FoShizz: Greatly appreciated.
[05:15] <sambagirl> morning. is anyone successfully utilizing bluetooth in 13.04 / 3.8x Gnome / i7 / etc..
[05:16] <Asharas> dem0n: can I send suspend to /sys/bus/usb/blabla/usb1/power/control ?
[05:24] <asharas> back again
[05:25] <asharas> hey, when I log in my server I have this "Failed to add entry for user "
[05:25] <asharas> what's that?
[05:28] <asharas> dem0n , are you there?
[05:30] <yanick> Hi, I just did a apt-get update, upgrade then dist-upgrade and now apt-get is litterally removing ALL the packages on my system
[05:30] <yanick> ... why?
[05:30] <lotuspsychje> yanick: some packages might not be supported on your newer ubuntu version
[05:31] <lotuspsychje> yanick: you upgrading to 13.04?
[05:31] <yanick> lotuspsychje, it's kinda scary to see all of them being removed, including network-manager O_o
[05:31] <yanick> lotuspsychje, I did last month
[05:31] <phonejack> the channel number of my wlan card defaults to -1. how to set it to what I want?
[05:31] <yanick> it removed all themes, totem, nautilus... well, everything
[05:32] <lotuspsychje> yanick: you got 13.04 already? why you dist upgrade then?
[05:33] <yanick> lotuspsychje, because I have installed Gnome3 and some package need dist-upgrade to actually upgrade (beta)
[05:33] <yanick> lotuspsychje, Google Chrome is gone, all my icons are non existent anymore
[05:33] <yanick> I think that if I reboot, everything will be gone and I won't be able to boot again
[05:34] <lotuspsychje> yanick: oh ic, hmm not sure why it does that never did dist upgrade on 13.04 yet..
[05:34] <yanick> lotuspsychje, I did it before and everything was fine
[05:34] <cyrano_> I'm wondering if someone might have some insight in to this. This happens rather frequently. Hoever usually when I right click as soon as the menu pops up if I hover over the menu right as it opens the top option seems to get clicked wether I hit the left click button or not. This happens immediately after right clicking as soon as the menu comes up.
[05:35] <yanick> it started with an update manager message telling me that I had partial upgrade not done (??) so I ran my update shortcut and this is where I am now
[05:35] <yanick> I just started x-chat in time, because even x-chat is not there anymore
[05:35] <lotuspsychje> yanick: and did you stop update progress once?
[05:36] <yanick> lotuspsychje, never
[05:36] <yanick> I'm a somewhat long time linux user. Been having it for almost ten years now
[05:36] <yanick> linux is not new, but what apt-get just did is
[05:36] <lotuspsychje> yanick: thats odd indeed, not sure whats the logic of this
[05:37] <bluehills> hi is there v2102 have any relation with terminal emulator? what role v2102 plays in terminal emulator?
[05:37] <yanick> is there any "undo" to apt-get?
[05:37] <yanick> lotuspsychje, ^^
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> yanick: i guess reboot will be the only truth right now
[05:37] <lotuspsychje> yanick: is there a new gnome out maybe?
[05:38] <yanick> lotuspsychje, the fact that Chrome and most of my apps are gone means a lot; if I reboot, I won't have x-server running anymore
[05:38] <lotuspsychje> cyrano_: maybe you can make a screenshot of this and paste in channel?
[05:38] <yanick> lotuspsychje, even nautilus doesn't open anymore
[05:39] <dem0n> yanick: you should have used the do-release-upgrade command
[05:39] <lotuspsychje> yanick: this is sounding like something from the past, removing all packages that have depends on others
[05:39] <dem0n> or used the upgrade manager
[05:39] <yanick> dem0n, I did what I upgraded from 12.04 to 13.04
[05:39] <lotuspsychje> dem0n: can he undo this?
[05:40] <yanick> lotuspsychje, I'm attempting re-installing all packages manually....
[05:41] <lotuspsychje> yanick: yes you might wanna reinstall your favorite packages, and like dem0n says do a proper upgrade command after
[05:41] <lotuspsychje> yanick: that might save your day :p
[05:42] <yanick> lotuspsychje, I won't reboot until I feel safe. And, I've been doing the same update/upgrade command for the past 3 years. Nothing like this ever happened
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> yanick: well i think the dist upgrade command changed like dem0n says
[05:42] <lotuspsychje> !upgrade
[05:43] <yanick> really? dist-upgrade is not the same anymore?
[05:43] <yanick> some package are "kept back" if I don't do dist-upgrade
[05:43] <dem0n> yanick: no he can't undo it
[05:43] <lotuspsychje> yanick: not sure, but the url shows the gui way... its a new trigger i see
[05:44] <dem0n> if the upgrade was successfull then you could just reinstall all of the packages that got deleted
[05:44] <yanick> dem0n, it will take a while, but I'm doing this right now
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> yanick: how about you install 13.04 clean and reinstall your favorite packages from there
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> yanick: brand new fast upgrade :p
[05:44] <lotuspsychje> umm clean install :p
[05:46] <lotuspsychje> !wifi | phonejack
[05:46] <dem0n> yanick: it is probably for the best...you should reinstall all of your apps because if you don't you will have HUGE dependency issues
[05:46] <phonejack> thks.
[05:47] <yanick> dem0n, any package I'm trying to install gets me some weird dependency error messages
[05:47] <yanick> why can't apt-get resolve these deps anymore?
[05:47] <dem0n> ya i don't think your installation went through correctly
[05:47] <yanick> I use do-release-upgrade :P
[05:47] <dem0n> it sounds like your upgrade wasn't sucessfull
[05:48] <dem0n> yanick: your best bet is to reinstall everything
[05:48] <yanick> then why did it wait a full month before "crashing" ?
[05:48] <dem0n> you upgraded a month ago?
[05:48] <yanick> yes
[05:48] <babble> sneaky
[05:48] <dem0n> that is weird then...
[05:48] <yanick> and did SEVERAL upgrades since then
[05:48] <yanick> but tonight... all hell broke loose
[05:49] <dem0n> yanick: still i would do a fresh install
[05:49] <yanick> I guess I have no choice
[05:49] <dem0n> delete over everything and install with a fresh copy of ubuntu
[05:49] <lotuspsychje> dem0n: but what does happen by default if one dist-upgrade on a system thats already upgraded to latest?
[05:49] <theadmin> yanick: I suggest preserving /home, though.
[05:49] <yanick> theadmin, I have /home on a diff partition
[05:49] <theadmin> lotuspsychje: Nothing, it tells there is no new release unless you supply the -d flag which will update you to the latest alpha/beta/rc
[05:49] <yanick> theadmin, I have the same /home since 8.04... or something
[05:50] <dem0n> yanick: i know it sucks...i just had to do it with windows 7 + ubuntu about 2 weeks ago when my windows 7 (host os) crashed and i had to reformat, i lost everything but it happens and it just means you have a long night ahead of you
[05:50] <theadmin> yanick: Nice. I was just saying, you know
[05:50] <lotuspsychje> theadmin: well he dist-upgrade on his 13.04
[05:50] <yanick> theadmin,  :)
[05:50] <dem0n> lotuspsychje: if you are already up to date then nothing
[05:50] <yellowdog> Hi everyone!
[05:50] <theadmin> lotuspsychje: apt-get dist-upgrade? That's just a smarter update mechanism which updates packages that, e.g., have new dependencies or conflicts
[05:51] <yanick> lotuspsychje, it usually does nothing, but something it upgrades some unstable packages (gnome3, mostly)
[05:51] <theadmin> lotuspsychje: if it's do-release-upgrade, then well... You go to the testing branch
[05:51] <dem0n> the best way is to use the update-manager
[05:51] <Rabbit> Hello
[05:51] <theadmin> Meh, GUI tools are never the best way to administer your system.
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> dem0n: loose the w7 once and for good :p
[05:52] <theadmin> The update manager is rather okay though
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> theadmin: new upgrade trigger shows the gui way
[05:52] <lotuspsychje> !upgrade > theadmin
[05:52] <dem0n> lotuspsychje: heh, i have to windows 7 but i love using linux + windows 7 with vmware workstation i get the best of both worlds!
[05:52] <Rabbit> How to setup so it could execute jobs ?
[05:53] <theadmin> lotuspsychje: Well, yes...
[05:53] <dem0n> rabbit: cronjob
[05:53] <FoShizz> how come none of the settings i enter into ccms are saved next boot?
[05:53] <lotuspsychje> dem0n: i know, im too addicted to the ubuntu world :p
[05:54] <dem0n> rabbit: crontab
[05:54] <yanick> speaking of Windows 7, I'll have to reboot into it myself. Chrome got screwed and I can't download nor burn anything anymore :/
[05:55] <lotuspsychje> FoShizz: what ubuntu version?
[05:55] <FoShizz> 13.04
[05:55] <Rabbit> Does this execute on time dem0n ? ... Like everyday 2AM but not on weekend like that ??
[05:55] <FoShizz> its being a huge pain to install
[05:55] <FoShizz> im in like my 4th or 5th hour trying to install
[05:56] <lotuspsychje> FoShizz: are you trying to tweak compiz effects?
[05:56] <dem0n> Rabbit: yes
[05:56] <FoShizz> im trying to get unity to work
[05:56] <dem0n> Rabbit: "man crontab"
[05:57] <Rabbit> dem0n can i use Cygwin ?
[05:57] <FoShizz> so im trying to enable unity and other dependent plugins
[05:58] <lotuspsychje> FoShizz: im not following mate, unity is default on 13.04 did you broke it?
[05:58] <FoShizz> is there a save button im not hitting?
[05:58] <FoShizz> lotus thats where my problem is! i installed it but unity isnt showing up!
[05:59] <FoShizz> i have no top or sidebars
[05:59] <lotuspsychje> FoShizz: so you installed 13.04 clean or upgrade?
[05:59] <FoShizz> only ctrl-alt-t to get terminal
[05:59] <FoShizz> straight clean
[05:59] <Ben64> yeah unity seems to do that a lot... which video card?
[06:00] <FoShizz> ill probably try again tomorrow if i can't fix it within the next 20 mins
[06:00] <dem0n> Rabbit: cygwin is used for something entirely different
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> Ben64: on older cards? ive not seen it yet installing 13.04 on diff systems
[06:00] <yanick> alright, I'll have to reboot for good now. even aptitude started removing other packages and won't shut down
[06:00] <FoShizz> ive got an old nvidia geforce4 440
[06:00] <lotuspsychje> yanick: good luck!
[06:00] <Ben64> lotuspsychje: on lots of things
[06:00] <Ben64> FoShizz: you could try installing unity 2d, normal unity will not work on that
[06:01] <FoShizz> are you sure?
[06:01] <FoShizz> how do you know?
[06:01] <Ben64> 13.04 doesn't have the nvidia drivers for the 440
[06:01] <Rabbit> dem0n Cygwin For ?
[06:01] <FoShizz> FFFFFFFFFFFFFF
[06:01] <FoShizz> ive spent soooooo long
[06:01] <lotuspsychje> Ben64: would xubuntu help him out?
[06:01] <dem0n> Rabbit: cygwin is used for porting windows software over to linux
[06:01] <theadmin> FoShizz: Use the LTS for now, GNOME dropped 2D support and the one in Unity is in experimental stage, so stick with LTS
[06:01] <FoShizz> okay how do i install unity 2d?
[06:02] <theadmin> FoShizz: (which still has proper 2D)
[06:02] <Ben64> lotuspsychje: still won't have the nvidia drivers
[06:02] <FoShizz> ok thanks
[06:02] <lotuspsychje> Ben64: ic
[06:02] <FoShizz> ill do it tommorrow
[06:02] <Ben64> the mx440 came out in like 2002
[06:02] <Ben64> it is currently 2013
[06:02] <theadmin> FoShizz: You can also use Xubuntu which is more lightweight
[06:02] <FoShizz> my first taste  of ubuntu isnt going too well :P
[06:02] <dem0n> Rabbit: cygwin is a type of linux based environment for microsoft
[06:02] <Ben64> FoShizz: get a better computer... :S
[06:03] <theadmin> dem0n: You mean the opposite, porting Linux software for Windows :P
[06:03] <lotuspsychje> FoShizz: new graphics cards are cheap these days
[06:03] <FoShizz> is xubuntu still supported? i tried it last year on my laptop and it didnt even boot.
[06:03] <Rabbit> We do have PowerShell dem0n
[06:03] <dem0n> theadmin: heh, ya i wrote it backwards =)
[06:03] <theadmin> FoShizz: Of course it is
[06:03] <raven> can anyone help me make a windows xp start up usb from within ubuntu
[06:04] <FoShizz> lotus i have a 7770 in my main machine. the computer im trying to put it on im trying to use as a media server
[06:04] <lotuspsychje> raven: there is a w7 usb creator tool wich i forgot name
[06:04] <Ben64> lotuspsychje: well its also an agp card, so a new card would be pcie, so would need new cpu,motherboard,ram too
[06:04] <theadmin> raven: Windows XP is ages old. All tools I know that exist for Linux work only with Vista and up
[06:04] <lotuspsychje> Ben64: im sure he can buy secondhand agp newer card maybe?
[06:04] <yofun> okay...so i want to watch this live video tommorrow but....it requires microsoft silverlight....
[06:04] <Ben64> new components would be much much faster and use less power, it's what i would recommend
[06:04] <yofun> any way around this?
[06:04] <raven> :(
[06:04] <FoShizz> theadmin whats the drawbacks of xubuntu? can i still do everything i would have been able to in ubuntu?
[06:05] <theadmin> yofun: Moonlight?
[06:05] <theadmin> FoShizz: Yeah, just the desktop is different
[06:05] <Ben64> FoShizz: xubuntu = ubuntu + xfce
[06:05] <yofun> theadmin: whats moonlight?
[06:05] <raven> well is there a way to install windows 8 froom inside linux..
[06:05] <raven> my usb is only 2gb and i have no disks
[06:05] <theadmin> yofun: Is of Silverlight for Linux
[06:05] <yofun> raven:  there is
[06:05] <dem0n> Rabbit: okay rabbit, are you trying to schedule tasks in linux or are you trying to do it in windows?
[06:05] <yofun> virtualbox
[06:05] <theadmin> yofun: You can click "Install silverlight" normally in your browser and it'd direct you to the Moonlight website
[06:05] <FoShizz> i dont know what xfce is. Is that like a terminal based os?
[06:05] <raven> ?
[06:05] <Rabbit> Windows dem0n
[06:05] <theadmin> FoShizz: No, go over to http://xubuntu.org and check the screenshots
[06:05] <raven> i want to install it onto a hard drive an have it run without linux
[06:06] <theadmin> FoShizz: Compare them to those on ubuntu.com
[06:06] <raven> not a vm
[06:06] <Ben64> FoShizz: just a different gui interface
[06:06] <FoShizz> k
[06:06] <Sazpaimon> I'd like to mount an encrypted volume during startup where he system asks me for the password to unlock the volume. Can this be done?
[06:06] <Sazpaimon> s/he/the
[06:06] <dem0n> Rabiit: okay well then sorry i can't help you there.
[06:06] <yofun> oh theadmin i see...wow
[06:06] <yofun> lol
[06:06] <Sazpaimon> I don't want to have my encryption key out in the open
[06:07] <lotuspsychje> raven: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/tool-to-create-windows-usb-install.html
[06:08] <lotuspsychje> raven: but we really recomend you staying on ubuntu of course :p
[06:09] <FoShizz> wow xubuntu really looks like an open source osx
[06:09] <FoShizz> im impressed
[06:09] <FoShizz> how do i check if my graphics card is supported?
[06:09] <theadmin> FoShizz: Eh, that'd be more of the regular Ubuntu :P
[06:10] <theadmin> FoShizz: Opensource drivers will likely work, but don't expect 3D stuff to work well
[06:10] <FoShizz> 3D stuff like movies and stuff?
[06:11] <lotuspsychje> FoShizz: and some pretty neat xubuntu desktop examples: http://browse.deviantart.com/?q=xubuntu
[06:11] <Ben64> FoShizz: you'll probably have problems with lots of stuff, due to the oldness
[06:11] <yofun> ooooooh deviantart :)
[06:12] <FoShizz> thats too bad.
[06:12] <theadmin> FoShizz: ...You'd need a 3D-capable monitor for that. But I mean games and such
[06:12] <FoShizz> what limitations do you forsee for me system?
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> !info tilda > lotuspsychje
[06:12] <lotuspsychje> oh nice!
[06:12] <FoShizz> i don't think i'll be doing much gaming on it
[06:12] <Ben64> FoShizz: what do you plan to do with it?
[06:13] <FoShizz> ha! i don't know!
[06:13] <FoShizz> i pretty much only did it to see if i CAN do it!
[06:13] <lotuspsychje> FoShizz: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements
[06:14] <FoShizz> My specs are here: http://reviews.cnet.com/desktops/dell-dimension-4600-pentium/4505-3118_7-30529709.html
[06:14] <theadmin> Is there a way to stop certain daemons when on battery power and start them back when plugged in?
[06:15] <FoShizz> It's a really old computer. 10 years ago it was released, i believe
[06:16] <Smatik> i m new :(
[06:16] <theadmin> Smatik: That happens. What's your problem?
[06:17] <Smatik> well nothing yet
[06:17] <FoShizz> join the party smatik :3
[06:17] <roadkill> FoShizz: It'll run Ubuntu and heat your room at the same time, at least.
[06:17] <Smatik> i just wanted to know other things i can do with ubuntu which are not possible on Microsoft's operating systems
[06:18] <SJ__> hello friend
[06:18] <theadmin> Smatik: ...Is anything actually possible to do on Microsoft's operating systems?
[06:18] <FoShizz> too bad my drivers arent supported, roadkill
[06:19] <SJ__> what r u talking guys..?
[06:19] <raven> ubuntu hates me
[06:19] <lotuspsychje> !ubuntu | SJ__
[06:19] <Ben64> FoShizz: if you use 12.04 it has drivers for your card
[06:19] <SJ__> why?
[06:19] <FoShizz> ok i think i will probably go back to that
[06:19] <boichev> can anyone tell me a program that monitors the NAT network behind the gateway and makes statistics witch ip accessed what site and for how long for example ?
[06:19] <theadmin> SJ__: This is the Ubuntu support channel.
[06:20] <Smatik> I am a Student.I know C++ and m learning java. How can linux help me..?
[06:20] <FoShizz> boichev what are you trying to monitor the network  of?
[06:21] <SJ__> k bye friends....
[06:21] <lotuspsychje> !info iptstate | boichev
[06:21] <aeon-ltd> Smatik: ever want to run a server? 95-99% it'll probably linux
[06:21] <boichev> lotuspsychje, I was looking for a full web gui solution
[06:22] <lotuspsychje> boichev: lemme search holdon
[06:22] <boichev> lotuspsychje, I now do it with tcpdump and grep the host
[06:22] <theadmin> Smatik: With gcc and javac?
[06:22] <Smatik> See i m new...What can i do with a server?
[06:22] <aeon-ltd> Smatik: host things
[06:22] <FoShizz> why play games with friends, of course!
[06:23] <Smatik> Like Files and WEbsites?
[06:23] <aeon-ltd> Smatik: yes and more
[06:23] <FoShizz> you can also rent your server out. like free money?
[06:23] <Smatik> hmm sounds green
[06:23] <Smatik> how can i set up a server?
[06:24] <asharas> Hi all
[06:24] <aeon-ltd> Smatik: depends on what you want to do
[06:24] <Smatik> File Sharing
[06:24] <asharas> I'd like to clone my system to another hard drive, how can I do that properly?
[06:24] <aeon-ltd> Smatik: then you need to choose a protocol, and find out your needs
[06:24] <peterrooney> Smatik: (i) pipes.  (ii) linux can't help you unless you know what you want to accomplish.  (iii) (aside) learn a functional language as well.
[06:25] <FoShizz> ashras use any cloning tool
[06:25] <Smatik> functional language like pascal?
[06:25] <FoShizz> actually i only know them for windows though :P
[06:26] <lotuspsychje> boichev: seems like i only find iptables gui, as NAT can be configged in there
[06:26] <aeon-ltd> asharas: clonezilla? dd?
[06:26] <FoShizz> yea tools like those
[06:27] <FoShizz> UNLESS! its ssd
[06:27] <boichev> lotuspsychje, this calls for an open source project :)
[06:27] <FoShizz> is it a ssd?
[06:27] <FoShizz> cuz you can't clone onto those
[06:27] <Smatik> Any book or guide to Linux .. I think you cant teach me everything here..
[06:27] <asharas> I don't know aeon-ltd , it's a server and I'd like to do it remotely
[06:27] <lotuspsychje> boichev: re-ask your package needs in chat once in a while, im sure other might know something usefull!
[06:28] <boichev> lotuspsychje, ok thx :)
[06:28] <lotuspsychje> boichev: maybe the ##networking guys might know usefull tools aswell
[06:28] <aeon-ltd> asharas: i'm no expert, but how are you going to do this, ideally you need the system to be off before cloning
[06:29] <switching> :))) if anyone else has a canon pixma ip1700 printer, i have finally found a working fix for it
[06:29] <asharas> well, suppose I'll have to unpack my screen again to do this
[06:31] <boichev> lotuspsychje,  didn't know this channell thanks a lot :)
[06:32] <lotuspsychje> boichev: np :p
[06:33] <FoShizz> cheers guys
[06:37] <Flynsarmy> when i do a dmesg I can see some errors from mvsas with slot and port numbers from my scsi controller. is there a command i can use to see which slots/ports are mapped to which hdds?
[06:38] <Flynsarmy> sudo scsiinfo -l shows me which hdds are using scsi but not the ports/slots they're attached to
[06:46] <Phryq> is there a way to save playlists as .pla files rather than .pls?
[06:46] <Phryq> appearently my phone only recognises .pla
[06:49] <raven> i got the windows xp iso on the usb but when i boot to it it  just said windows xp and bootmanager is missing under it
[06:50] <aeon-ltd> Phryq: are there any export options?
[06:50] <Phryq> you know what, I just changed the extension and it seems to have worked
[06:50] <aeon-ltd> :)
[06:50] <aeon-ltd> if only conversion for all types were possible that way
[06:50] <Phryq> though my phone still doesn't recognize it. So in the end my phone is just full of shit
[06:51] <Phryq> ya, what an awesome world
[06:51] <aeon-ltd> Phryq: if there aren't that many songs per playlist, why not just reform them on the phone?
[06:51] <Phryq> "I need my mp3 to be a music video", "just change the extension to .wmv"
[06:52] <roadkill> pls and pla have always been interchangeable
[06:52] <Phryq> I have too many songs on my phone, it would take forever to do it that way
[06:52] <roadkill> it's like how sometimes it's .jpg and sometimes it's .jpeg
[06:52] <roadkill> both are the same in the end
[06:52] <Phryq> "I want my ISO to be an executable program" "change the .iso to .exe" "thatnks!"
[06:53] <aeon-ltd> that reminds me, why hasn't png dominated images yet?
[06:53] <Phryq> ya, I always wondered that about jpegs
[06:53] <roadkill> Phryq: That 4.7GB executable sure is taking a long time to load...
[06:53] <roadkill> aeon-ltd: http://xkcd.com/927/ <--- re: png
[06:54] <Phryq> not on my SSD!
[06:54] <Phryq> I would turn all my DLLs into music
[06:58] <MobPhone> Hello all I forgot a command I need to move all files from one directory to another
[06:58] <MobPhone> Can anyone help with this
[06:59] <llutz> MobPhone: mv path/* newpath/
[07:01] <Phryq> hey, anyone know why my volume setting is greyed out, and won't work?
[07:01] <Phryq> I mean the volume things on the top right corner in Unity. I'm running 13.04
[07:02] <MobPhone> Phryq what's the command to move all files from one directory to another needs to copy over the other files also
[07:03] <Phryq> you mean the command to copy the entire contents of a directory?
[07:03] <Phryq> one sec I'll try and find it on google
[07:04] <llutz> MobPhone: cp -a path/ newpath/
[07:04] <MobPhone> Phryq I've looked trying to copy all files in one directory and move to another
[07:04] <Phryq> cp -a /path/from /path/to

[07:17] <mpmc> try using \$

[07:32] <iceroot> what is the correct way to but an openvpn connection in "autostart" so that always when wlan0 or eth0 are up network-manager will connect directly to a specific vpn?
[07:36] <llutz> iceroot: if you edit vpn-connection in nm, there is a field "auto connect", enable it
[07:36] <iceroot> llutz: sure? have not found it but i will recheck, thx
[07:40] <iceroot> llutz: sorry just german but there is nothing like auto-connect http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/ubuntu/vpn.png
[07:40] <llutz> iceroot: kästchen mit "automatisch verbinden"
[07:41] <iceroot> llutz: guess i am blind :)
[07:41] <llutz> iceroot: hmmm, it shows here...
[07:41] <iceroot> llutz: 13.04?
[07:41] <llutz> 12.10
[07:42] <iceroot> llutz: i will boot up 12.10 later and will have a look, if it there i can use ubuntu-bug :)
[07:42] <llutz> so did 12.04...
[07:44] <iceroot> llutz: for non-vpn connections i have "auto connect" under the allgemein/general tab but not for openvpn
[07:44] <iceroot> llutz: ah my fault
[07:44] <iceroot> llutz: i have auto-connect vpn under the eth0/wlan0 tab. there is a drop down to select the vpn
[07:45] <iceroot> llutz: i thought its in the vpn tab itself and not eth0/wlan0 tab
[07:45] <llutz> iceroot: it's on the vpn-tab here
[07:46] <sjd_zeus> .
[07:46] <sjd_zeus> hi all
[07:46] <iceroot> llutz: http://alpha-unix.de/~iceroot/ubuntu/vpn2.png  wlan0 tab :) on 13.04
[07:47] <llutz> iceroot: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/80068731/vpn-auto.png
[07:48] <iceroot> llutz: good to know that you are german too :) so i guess they changed it with  nm-applet on 13.04
[07:49] <TKing> should i get a dedicated memory laptop for Ubuntu? If so which do you recommend nVDia or Intel HD Graphics?
[07:49] <iceroot> TKing: intel is providing the best drivers out there, so if you dont need the 3d performance intel is fine
[07:49] <iceroot> TKing: the worst i was facing is optimus, so nvidia + intel
[07:50] <llutz> iceroot: hm, i thought it commonly known that i'm german ... ;)
[07:51] <iceroot> llutz: maybe only because of "lutz" :) but i didnt know that, thought i am the only one which is active here :)
[07:54] <Mdi3> Hi everybody
[07:55] <Mdi3> I am using Linux Mint 13 Mate
[07:55] <Mdi3> just a quick question, can't find any clear answer on the web
[07:55] <auronandace> !mint | Mdi3
[07:55] <Mdi3> oops sorry, wrong channel
[07:55] <Mdi3> my bad
[07:58] <djdavis75> is 13.04 worth the upgrade from 12.04 LTS?
[08:00] <llutz> !find rtl_sdr
[08:01] <llutz> djdavis75: do you miss something, do ou have any issues? if "no/no", then no :)
[08:02] <djdavis75> prolly no/no then
[08:02] <djdavis75> 12.04 lts works, unless there is anything compelling new in 13.04, I'll prolly pass
[08:02] <djdavis75> i passed on 12.10 for same reason
[08:03] <Phryq> so is there any good reason not to install gnome programs if I run Unity?
[08:03] <Phryq> like, I want a drawing / paint program so that I can cut things out of screen shots
[08:04] <Phryq> just basic cropping etc. like mspaint for windows can do
[08:04] <djdavis75> i install gnome/gtk type program with unity and they all seem to work fine
[08:04] <somsip> !find inotifywait
[08:04] <somsip> !find notify-send
[08:06] <Phryq> and they don't slow down the OS with dependencies in and way?
[08:06] <Phryq> or make the system less stable?
[08:12] <accc> hi all
[08:14] <negev> how do you fix a half-installed package that failed during --configure?  i can't dpkg --configure -a, and apt-get --purge remove fails also
[08:15] <roadkill> --reinstall?
[08:15] <roadkill> sudo apt-get install --reinstall packagename
[08:16] <negev> failed

[08:17] <basss> hello, how can i attach a named session on tmux
[08:17] <roadkill> negev: Wow. Between purge and reinstall, i can't think of anything else.
[08:17] <negev> how can i purge and reinstall?
[08:17] <negev> purge failed when i tried
[08:18] <roadkill> negev: That was my point. I don't know what else you can do.
[08:18] <Master_Scythe> Could someone give me some advice, or point me to the correct channel to ask in for this? I'm the Original Poster in this thread.

[08:37] <Ruh> Hello everyone, how are you all? :D
[08:41] <energizer> what's the benefit of developing ubuntu phone? why would somebody use it rather than android?
[08:42] <melvster> energizer: ubuntu is more open and it's consistent with the other UX
[08:42] <melvster> im waiting for ubuntu phone before i get a new one
[08:42] <bazhang> energizer, #ubuntu-touch please
[08:42] <melvster> no other phone makes sense imho
[08:42] <bazhang> melvster, ^
[08:43] <energizer> thanks for the heads up, bazhang
[08:43] <bazhang> np
[08:44] <ActionParsnip> energizer: people like Ubuntu too, it will be similar to the Android model (one OS for all)
[08:47] <diverdude> Hey. Sometimes i do apt-get upgrade, and i get: The following packages have been kept back:   linux-headers-server linux-image-server linux-server mysql-client-5.5 mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server-core-5.5. I can install it using dist-upgrade so no problems...But why are they kept back?
[08:49] <skillpiG> Hi gentlemen!
[08:50] <skillpiG> Could anyone please direct me to some software for backing up a whole linux system over network ?

[08:50] <skillpiG> for backup purposes :)
[08:50] <Spartan> Hallo
[08:53] <raven> can anyone tell me how to change my partition thing? i dunno..  im trying to install windows in a hard drive and it says that its not compatible with gpt?
[08:53] <somsip> diverdude: "If the dependencies have changed on one of the packages you have installed so that a new package must be installed to perform the upgrade then that will be listed as "kept-back"." http://is.gd/PwI38S
[08:55] <diverdude> somsip: ok...so normally if a package is just upgraded and not re-installed (meaning not dist-upgrade)....how does that upgrade procedure work? is that individual per package?
[08:56] <somsip> diverdude: I don't imagine I can explain it any better than that linked page, and the links from that linked page
[09:00] <raven> can someone help me  change a hard drive from gtp to a windows compatible thing?
[09:03] <llutz> raven: http://firewing1.com/node/610
[09:04] <llutz> raven: i'd still make sure to have an actual backup of your data...
[09:05] <raven> well its empty.. it used to have windows on it
[09:05] <llutz> raven: well then, sudo parted /dev/sdX "mklabel msdos"  ... create some partitions or just quit
[09:08] <raven> i did what you said llutz
[09:08] <raven> its says i may need to update /etc/fstab
[09:15] <llutz> raidghost: if the drive was empty, you unlikely have it in fstab. so no changes needed

[09:19] <Master_Scythe> With a USB stick install; How am I best to configure a boot menu (with a timeout) with two different resolutions?  One needs to be 15hz ( this is the default, for an arcade monitor) and the other 60hz for when i need to work on a PC monitor.
[09:23] <Master_Scythe> as in a LIVE usb stick, with persistance
[09:24] <phretor> anyone using vmbuilder? It appears that the --templates option is ignored. Any idea of why?
[09:27] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[09:28] <gRAVIty2> Lenovo x200 tablet shutsdown randomly and displays messages(which I can't decipher). How do I identify the exact source of the problem? screen shots in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2150694
[09:28] <clu3> my server is ubuntu and everytime I git pull i have to type the passphrase. Is there away for ubuntu to remember this passphrase permanently?
[09:28] <somsip> clu3: add you public key to the git server
[09:29] <clu3> oh
[09:29] <ShapeShifter499> my netbook running ubuntu 13.04 is shutting itself down unexpectedly right now this is freaking me out because I was using this for a wifi router. I still have a internet connection from a limited secondary source (cellular hotspot). Any ideas why this could be happening?
[09:29] <ShapeShifter499> It runs for a hour or so then shuts down
[09:29] <clu3> somsip, thanks
[09:30] <somsip> clu3: easy enough :)
[09:30] <ShapeShifter499> just started happening after I installed iRedMail which is a automated setup package for a email server
[09:30] <clu3> somsip, on my desktop i think i have gnome-keyring or something, i can't remember what i installed but i have to type the passphrase only ONCE every time i login
[09:31] <llutz> ShapeShifter499:checked temperature, does it run hot on high load?
[09:31] <Spartan> Hi can i have help on triple boot?
[09:31] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, well I did notice the load was considerably higher
[09:32] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, and yes it seemed to run hotter
[09:32] <somsip> clu3: It depends what passphrase you mean then. If it's public_key pass then you must enter that each time it's used. If it's just your git access password, then setup a keypair on the server and upload the public key to the git server
[09:32] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: so next step is to monitor cpu-temp
[09:32] <gRAVIty2> Ubuntu 12.04 - Laptop x200 tablet - shutsdown randomly. Help anyone?
[09:32] <Spartan> Can i have help on triple boot?
[09:32] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, apt-get install cpu-temp?
[09:32] <llutz> !info lm-sensors | ShapeShifter499
[09:33] <clu3> somsip, it's the publickey pass
[09:33] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, ok thank you
[09:33] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, if I find it is a temperature thing what do I do?
[09:34] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: try to reudce the load, or try to increase fan-speed for better cooling, or ... or ..
[09:34] <llutz> reduce*
[09:34] <somsip> clu3: then it is how it should be. Unles you install gnome-keyring or similar on the server I guess
[09:35] <clu3> that's what i'm asking, i'm not sure what package it is
[09:35] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, I opened system monitor and it showed my cpu both cores bumping 100% but didn't show what process that was
[09:35] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: htop
[09:35] <ShapeShifter499> top wasn't much help either
[09:36] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, 'h'top?
[09:36] <ShapeShifter499> whats the 'h' stand for?
[09:36] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: idk, just a different "top" with some more options
[09:37] <somsip> clu3: pam_gnome_keyring may have something to offer you. That's a starting point only though. I can't help any more http://is.gd/JKt7gd
[09:37] <ShapeShifter499> I see that (googled)
[09:37] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, do I have to use a server kernel?
[09:37] <Muelli> Probably "Hisham's top" as per the htop's authors name.
[09:38] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: is there still a "server-kernel"? i don't see any sense in using one (if there is)
[09:39] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: You can click on the elements in htop with your mouse even though it runs in a terminal window
[09:39] <histo> !info linux-image-server | llutz
[09:39] <Master_Scythe> ShapeShifter499; on quite a few laptops ive seen linux ignore fan speed\temp sensors. so you might find cooling is never kicking in. I cant help with that, i'm too noob, but Ive expereicned it on more than one occasion
[09:39] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: the default kernel should be fine
[09:39] <roadkill> Sort by cpu load and it'll show you the process chewing up your cores
[09:39] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, I think there is, I started off with a desktop install and I decided to turn it into a wifi router to replace my newly broken one
[09:39] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, I thought the server had extra code to help with server stuff
[09:40] <clu3> somsip thanks for ur help
[09:40] <somsip> clu3: np
[09:40] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: it might help on ha/hp server, but not on an home-machine used to serve some tasks
[09:40] <ShapeShifter499> ah
[09:40] <ShapeShifter499> Master_Scythe, now you mention it, I don't really "hear" any fan kicking in
[09:41] <ShapeShifter499> hmm
[09:41] <roadkill> The fan in my Chromebook is activated by temperature via the bios, not by the kernel
[09:41] <llutz> !info fancontrol | ShapeShifter499
[09:41] <roadkill> or OS for that matter
[09:41] <Master_Scythe> ShapeShifter499 yep; you'll be missing chipset drivers. and good luck with that.  Try find an option in the BIOS to force the fan on. Some have a forced "active" cooling mode.
[09:42] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: get lm-sensors/fancontrol up and monitor temps/fans. then you'll see if those need some action
[09:42] <Master_Scythe> ive never had fancontrol or lm-sensors work properly. As i said i'm noob, but when it comes to laptop chipsets, ive tried VERY hard and had a few I just couldnt work out.
[09:42] <Master_Scythe> fingers crossed for you though :)
[09:43] <roadkill> fan control is very much a crapshoot. different on nearly every model. i can't even get temperature readings in Windows on my A8 CPU
[09:43] <ShapeShifter499> I'm going to google my model, acer aspire one
[09:43] <ShapeShifter499> zg5
[09:44] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: I have the first version of the AAO. The fan only spun up when it reached a threshold. Most of the time it was passive cooling.
[09:45] <Master_Scythe> Acers and MSI ive had problems with no fan
[09:45] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: roadkill same here on my old aao531h
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: my girlfriends mum has one of those
[09:45] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: not a bad netbook, runs Precise 100% out of the box
[09:45] <roadkill> Seems random when it's software controlled or bios/hardware triggered. So as long as something isn't shutting down due to heat, I don't worry about it... lol
[09:46] <ActionParsnip> ShapeShifter499: just doesn't detect the battery but its oldish now afaik
[09:47] <ShapeShifter499> everything ran fine until my bright idea to offload my email services to that box
[09:47] <ShapeShifter499> xD
[09:47] <roadkill> heh
[09:47] <ShapeShifter499> I found this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AspireOne/AOA150
[09:47] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: Should have used a RasPi for that ;)
[09:48] <ShapeShifter499> includes cli fan settings
[09:49] <ShapeShifter499> should be cooled off now, I'm going to see if those fan controls do anything

[09:52] <Master_Scythe> what tool shoudl I be looking into? is it possible?
[09:53] <Master_Scythe> Im fairly new to it all.. i think ive seen options like that un GRUB boot manager, but Ive never seen GRUB on a USB stick
[09:54] <histo> Master_Scythe: you can install grub to usb stick and depending on how you made yours it should have grub
[09:57] <Master_Scythe> and am i aiming in the right area to do this?
[09:58] <Master_Scythe> is it a GRUB boot menu I can make?
[09:58] <Master_Scythe> so it can default to 15hz
[09:58] <Master_Scythe> but I can cancel the timeout and select 60hz if need be
[09:58] <paramm_> how to get unblock from IRC channel ? i m blocked on 2 channels
[09:59] <gordonjcp> paramm_: that's OT for Ubuntu
[09:59] <paramm_> OT ? whats that
[09:59] <gordonjcp> paramm_: some channels require you to be registered with nickserv before you can join
[09:59] <gordonjcp> paramm_: Off-Topic
[09:59] <paramm_> yeah i know
[09:59] <gordonjcp> paramm_: if you've been kicked off the channel for misbehaving, you'll just have to wait it out
[10:00] <paramm_> i am blocked since 1 month
[10:00] <paramm_> how much time do i hve to wait
[10:00] <gordonjcp> depends on the channel, depends on the op, depends on why you were banned
[10:01] <paramm_> can't i know the reason ?
[10:01] <paramm_> can i know the reason
[10:01] <bazhang> !ot | paramm_
[10:01] <roadkill> paramm_: Different operators in each channel. We don't know why people don't want you around. Ask in #freenode, this has nothing to do with Ubuntu.
[10:01] <bazhang> paramm_, stop asking here
[10:01] <paramm_> ok :)
[10:01] <DJones> paramm_: You'll need to contact the channel ops for the channels you've been banned in, if you join #freenode, they'll be able to advise you how to do that
[10:02] <paramm_> ops ?
[10:02] <paramm_> how would i know who is ops ?
[10:02] <bazhang> #freenode paramm_
[10:02] <DJones> paramm_: Join #freenode
[10:02] <paramm_> ok thanks
[10:02] <bazhang> gothere
[10:02] <roadkill> paramm_: type the following: /part #ubuntu, /join #freenode
[10:02] <roadkill> bloody hell.
[10:03] <gordonjcp> gosh
[10:03] <Master_Scythe> now he's gone
[10:03] <gordonjcp> I wonder what he got banned for?
[10:03] <Master_Scythe> am i shooting in the right area for my project?
[10:04] <roadkill> Master_Scythe: I cannot even begin to comprehend how you'd tell something to clock at 15Hz refresh on boot. You're going into majorly uncharted waters AFAIK
[10:04] <gordonjcp> Master_Scythe: wait what
[10:04] <gordonjcp> Master_Scythe: why are you trying to scan at 15Hz?
[10:04] <roadkill> gordonjcp: Arcade cabinet tube.
[10:04] <Master_Scythe> Because it's all a CGA monitor can show
[10:04] <gordonjcp> no
[10:04] <gordonjcp> you want 25Hz
[10:05] <gordonjcp> or, possibly 30Hz
[10:05] <Master_Scythe> no.
[10:05] <gordonjcp> definitely not 15Hz
[10:05] <gordonjcp> 15Hz would be a strobe light
[10:05] <roadkill> 15hz does sound considerably low.
[10:05] <roadkill> and I work in video, mind you
[10:05] <gordonjcp> Master_Scythe: if your monitor is only doing 15Hz it is not an arcade monitor
[10:06] <Master_Scythe> lWHOOPS! 15khz
[10:06] <gordonjcp> it's probably an old NASA one from the Apollo slow-scan kit ;-)
[10:06] <gordonjcp> aha
[10:06] <Master_Scythe> my appologies
[10:06] <gordonjcp> 15kHz is more like it
[10:06] <roadkill> heeeeeeeeehahaha. okay. NOW we're talking.
[10:06] <Master_Scythe> yeah, i need it to boot at 640x480 after a 2 second timeout, at 15khz
[10:06] <marianne_> Master_Scythe: try ##hardware  ... That's where I was sent yesterday to resolve my hardware issue...
[10:06] <gordonjcp> 15.625kHz/25Hz is reasonable for PAL monitors
[10:06] <sparcsunsolaris> please, provide me working link of 10.04 SPARC
[10:07] <gordonjcp> Master_Scythe: chances are you don't actually need GRUB to be 15kHz
[10:07] <Master_Scythe> marianne_ its not a hardware issue. I'm trying to do some funky custom booting of a USB ubuntu install :P i know the hardware is capable
[10:07] <Master_Scythe> its an NVIDIA card designed for 15khz supportr
[10:07] <ShapeShifter499> back
[10:07] <discocristo> http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=spxe05HW - any tips ?
[10:07] <Master_Scythe> the reason I want a boot menu, is so I can have 2 options. a default for arcade, and a 60hz option to work on the USB HDD at home on a normal PC monitor
[10:08] <roadkill> http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=129135.0 <--- this thread mentions an equivalent 57.4Hz refresh compatible rate.
[10:08] <ShapeShifter499> I installed lm-sensors, the one sensor it found shows my system at 61C which should be ok because my main laptop is at 65C
[10:08] <marianne_> Master_Scythe: ah, i see... came into the convo a bit late... be interesting to see what people suggest
[10:08] <gordonjcp> sparcsunsolaris: check the mirrors
[10:08] <sparcsunsolaris> gordonjcp: link?
[10:08] <gordonjcp> sparcsunsolaris: google for it
[10:08] <gordonjcp> I don't have web access to go and do it for you
[10:08] <ShapeShifter499> llutz, ActionParsnip any ideas
[10:09] <Master_Scythe> ShapeShifter499, if thats after a fresh boot thats hot! if its an i series, or a CORE chip, its also VERY hot. when it hits 91deg it'll be doing a safety shutdown. Might be time to strip the laptop and creapply thermal paste. Its a job, but its worthwhile
[10:09] <llutz> ShapeShifter499: as it is still running, you have to wait and watch the temps until it shuts down to get an idea if it is temp-related
[10:09] <sparcsunsolaris> gordonjcp: "http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/" <--- no SPARC arch
[10:09] <sparcsunsolaris> please, provide me working link of 10.04 SPARC
[10:10] <Master_Scythe> dont expect an error or log though; its a HARDWARE feature to power off at 91deg on Core2, or i series laptops. SOME allow 105deg
[10:10] <Master_Scythe> it just hard power cuts
[10:10] <sparcsunsolaris> here "http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/" SPARC is only on 7.04
[10:10] <Master_Scythe> Sorry roadkill, i missed your reply there.... reading that link now.
[10:12] <Master_Scythe> Roadkill: no such luck. I'll explain, a lot of this will be useless, but just so you get the full picture.
[10:12] <basss> hello, how can i define a variable in a makefile
[10:12] <sparcsunsolaris> form http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=ODUxNw I understand 10.04 is the last with SPARC support. I can't find the link to the image
[10:13] <Master_Scythe> There is an obsolete dance game called ITG2, which has an open source project on GIT called OpenITG.  The original game ran on a specially made linux box.  Now its so old, I'd like a bootable HDD, as the machine supports USB boot. This HDD would have a copy of Ubuntu (or lubuntu, or anything) and OpenITG set to autorun
[10:13] <Master_Scythe> so, USB boot, 15khz default, autorun game.
[10:14] <Master_Scythe> BUT id like a menu to select 60hz so i can take the HDD out and work on the themes and song packs from a standard PC monitor.
[10:14] <Master_Scythe> as i said, a lot of off topic info; but thats why i'd like a "select refresh rate" boot menu. With a timeout to default 15khz
[10:15] <fluffybunnyuk_> hi i was checking my drive and i found this  "Partial RELRO   Canary found      NX enabled    DSO             No RPATH   No RUNPATH   /usr/lib/libiberty.so"
[10:15] <fluffybunnyuk_> can someone check cos i thought it wasnt a .so?
[10:16] <histo> !find libiberty.so
[10:16] <Master_Scythe> ideas Roadkill ?
[10:17] <roadkill> None. I tended to stick to pretty standard monitor modes when running stuff like this
[10:17] <histo> Master_Scythe: air can the outlets by the cpu fan output.  That way you'll get better air flow. Laptops love to collect dust
[10:18] <histo> Master_Scythe: I can't htink of a way you can have grub select a monitor mode
[10:18] <Master_Scythe> histo, never aircan a laptop vent. You'll overspeed the fan. either fry the can, or fry the controller by turning into a generator
[10:18] <Master_Scythe> fry the FAN, not can ><
[10:19] <Master_Scythe> Histo; grub or something must be able to determine monitor mode, because there are boot switches for monitor mode.
[10:19] <phretor> do-release-upgrade on 12.04.2-> "No new release found" - WTF
[10:20] <Master_Scythe> Ive used them before, just not much more than forcing it to fallback to generic drivers and minimum res... so I'm lost
[10:20] <ActionPa1snip> phretor: there is no new LTS, so it's not wrong
[10:20] <fluffybunnyuk_> ok thx i'll try to figure out why i have a non-existant library
[10:20] <Master_Scythe> phretor its because its LTS?
[10:20] <histo> Master_Scythe: don't hit the fan just blow out the slots. You can even hold the fan stationary.
[10:20] <ShapeShifter499> Master_Scythe, I have spun a still connected fan fast with a vacuum a while ago while it was off and I was cleaning, no harm to my main laptop, fan still works/
[10:20] <ActionPa1snip> phretor: you need to tell it to look for non-LTS releases
[10:20] <histo> !upgrade | phretor
[10:20] <phretor> -d?
[10:20] <ActionPa1snip> phretor: no, -d is for development releases
[10:20] <ActionPa1snip> phretor: try researching rather tahn guessing
[10:20] <Master_Scythe> ShapeShifter499 you can be lucky. But ive been in the IT game for 13 years (just not linux) trust me, oversped fans damage things. and not always just themselves
[10:21] <ShapeShifter499> Master_Scythe, must have spun the right way, I didn't think about the generator capabilities at the time
[10:22] <Master_Scythe> well I'm disheartened no one knows a way to force what I want in Ubuntu :(
[10:22] <BluesKaj> HI all
[10:22] <fluffybunnyuk_> ditch ubuntu then and use something that'll work for what u want
[10:22] <Master_Scythe> Windows its simple. Just put a /VGA switch into the boot line, which will boot at 640x480. and if you're running SOft15khz, 640x480 is always 15khz. so it works...
[10:22] <Master_Scythe> but no way in ubuntu anyone knows :(
[10:22] <histo> Master_Scythe: ask in #grub
[10:22] <Master_Scythe> yeah?
[10:22] <Master_Scythe> ill ask in GRUB. or maybe use windows.
[10:22] <histo> Master_Scythe: you can pass vga modes to kernel lines in grub
[10:23] <ShapeShifter499> hmmm must be something else?   my netbook hovers around 62-63
[10:23] <jeevanus> why is all directories except /home is write protected from administrator user. How can I access? paste something?
[10:23] <Master_Scythe> Histo : just no way to have seperate boot options, with different VGA modes?
[10:24] <marianne_> Ok guys... I'm experiencing choppy video. It's not the ISP as it streams fine on my other machines... could it be the video card going bad?
[10:24] <histo> jeevanus: what do you want to paste exactly?
[10:24] <fluffybunnyuk_> simple solution open a file manager as su and change what u want jeevanus
[10:24] <histo> Master_Scythe: yes create another entry booting the same kernel with a different vga mode
[10:24] <histo> !sudo | jeevanus
[10:25] <fluffybunnyuk_> and if ur trying to paste stuff then maybe it shud be in /home anyway
[10:25] <Master_Scythe> histo : so simply by using 2 different boot options, I could have one specify 640x480 @ 15khz? and another specify 60hz?
[10:25] <jeevanus> histo: i tried to paste a directory called android-sdk in /opt - i can do it in terminal command, but in gui not working, even if i paste in root terminal i can't access it once i close terminal, it says permisson denied
[10:26] <ShapeShifter499> ActionPa1snip,  Master_Scythe could it be that the system didn't know the proper temps till I installed lm-sensors?
[10:26] <histo> Master_Scythe: let me find you some linkage
[10:26] <ShapeShifter499> lm-sensors did activate a few modules
[10:26] <sparcsunsolaris> ubottu:
[10:26] <sparcsunsolaris> ubottu: hey
[10:26] <Master_Scythe> ShapeShifter499 Yes, but it shouldnt cause hard power offs. But it could be leaving the fan off before LM-SENSORS yes. Ive had that happen
[10:26] <sparcsunsolaris> ubottu: sparc
[10:26] <jeevanus> ubottu: okay
[10:26] <BluesKaj> Master_Scythe, 15khz would probly be ignored and run at the default rate
[10:26] <Master_Scythe> Histo : love your work :)
[10:27] <Master_Scythe> BluesKaj : I dont think so, because the official machine I'm trying to replace runs linux at 15khz. I think its a Gentoo release though.....
[10:27] <ShapeShifter499> Master_Scythe, hmm well I keep running "sensors" and I'm getting 62-63C
[10:27] <ShapeShifter499> I know that should be fine my system runs near 65C all the time with no shutdowns
[10:28] <Master_Scythe> ShapeShifter499 if your CPU is still at 100%, and the temps are above 60, is the fan on?
[10:28] <BluesKaj> Master_Scythe, define rate in this case
[10:28] <ShapeShifter499> *main laptop
[10:28] <Master_Scythe> BluesKaj how do you mean?
[10:28] <ShapeShifter499> Master_Scythe, I believe I hear it running
[10:28] <Master_Scythe> ShapeShifter499 cant you feel air flow or not at the vents?
[10:29] <BluesKaj> exactky what doe 16khz mean to the monitor , Master_Scythe
[10:29] <BluesKaj> err 15khz
[10:29] <Master_Scythe> a CGA monitor can show a max (and default) resolution of 640x480 @ 15khz.
[10:29] <ShapeShifter499> Master_Scythe, I hear something similar to the fan noise on my main laptop. I however can't feel a air flow like I do on my main laptop
[10:30] <roadkill> phretor: 12.04 is LTS, the next one will be 14.04. Unless you need to get something working, 12.04 is going to be supported for a long while.
[10:30] <jeevanus> ok using sudo su - i could paste it, how to make available for all users?
[10:30] <histo> Master_Scythe: ask the #grub people because i'm assuming you may have to boot to something else first
[10:30] <ShapeShifter499> seems like cluebring is eating my cpu
[10:30] <phretor> roadkill: I was hoping that 13.04 could have a fixed version of vmbuilder
[10:31] <Master_Scythe> I will Histo, thanks.
[10:31] <Master_Scythe> BluesKaj is that clear? Or is there something you might be able to help with if I explain further.
[10:31] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: killall cluebring
[10:31] <roadkill> heh
[10:32] <histo> Master_Scythe: you may have to use grub4dos and loadlin to change refresh rates like that. Once vesafb is loaded you can't change the rate.
[10:32] <roadkill> phretor: I'd check before you attempt an upgrade.
[10:32] <roadkill> histo: Doesn't vesafb set the refresh based on what monitor is detected?
[10:32] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, according to what I find online cluebring is "Policyd v2 (codenamed "cluebringer") is a multi-platform policy server for popular MTAs"   I think iRedMail installed that one
[10:33] <Master_Scythe> Id love to get my hands on an official HDD image of the game so I can see how the boot options are configured.... anyway I'll ask the GRUB people. thanks all
[10:33] <histo> roadkill: Master_Scythe idk he'd have to read the vesafb.txt
[10:34] <Master_Scythe> I have serious eye conditions, so I try to avoid reading too many random MAN pages, but I'll look into it, thank you all :)
[10:34] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, I think it needs to be there for spam filtering
[10:34] <histo> Master_Scythe: read the refresh rates section http://www.mjmwired.net/kernel/Documentation/fb/vesafb.txt
[10:34] <Master_Scythe> ok :)
[10:35] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, ActionPa1snip top and htop only says cluebringer takes 19% of cpu and is the highest cpu user, why are both my cores at 100% then?
[10:35] <Master_Scythe> histo : is Linux considered 'loaded' when I hit the GRUB menu? I always thought it was a boot menu before anything is applied or loaded (besides grub)
[10:36] <Master_Scythe> so that limitation shouldnt apply if it can be set by a grub command
[10:36] <Master_Scythe> or am i very wrong?
[10:36] <ShapeShifter499> on the upside lm-sensors helped it seems with temperature related shutdowns
[10:36] <Ben64> Master_Scythe: grub is not linux
[10:36] <histo> Master_Scythe: I don't know of a way to set the resolution for grub or how it's done currently. That's why I would redirect you to #grub
[10:37] <Master_Scythe> OK, i'll take it to #grub
[10:37] <Master_Scythe> thanks
[10:38] <dicedingus> Hello, folks. I've just installed a fresh copy of Xubuntu, and I'm trying to rig up this box so that I can sign into it remotely. So far, it looks like VNC, the most common solution, requires me to already be signed in on this computer to work. Is there any way I can remotely connect to this computer and be prompted with a login screen?
[10:39] <Ben64> dicedingus: why not use ssh?
[10:39] <om26er> Hi! I created a local repo (with just one package) and I am trying to give it a higher apt priority but failing to do so. the repository content and the pref content are here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5741517/
[10:39] <dicedingus> I need a GUI. I'm trying to run a dedicated server for a game.
[10:39] <Ben64> dicedingus: dedicated servers don't need gui...
[10:39] <dicedingus> It's a windows program.
[10:40] <dicedingus> I don't want to have to deal with windows, though, so, linux.
[10:40] <histo> dicedingus: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers#x11vnc-before-login
[10:40] <dicedingus> That looks promising, I'll give it a look.
[10:40] <Ben64> dicedingus: you could start a vnc server from ssh
[10:41] <Ben64> never actually need to have a "real" screen
[10:41] <histo> dicedingus: or just forward X apps over ssh
[10:41] <Ben64> thats way slow
[10:41] <dicedingus> You have a point there, but I think I'll check this possibility first. And I've honestly never had any success forwarding X.
[10:41] <ShapeShifter499> you could try NX
[10:41] <Ben64> ssh in, type "vncserver" and bam, you got a desktop ready
[10:43] <aladdin> heyyoo nice people. Is a copy of dropbox files saved on my drive taking up GBs?
[10:44] <dicedingus> Point taken. There also seems to be a glut of various servers. Can you make a recommendation?
[10:44] <roadkill> dicedingus: What you COULD do is ssh in, log in and then remotely fire up an X session to VNC into. That's how I do it on my box.
[10:45] <roadkill> Ben64: Beat me to it, but yes, it's a very reliable method.
[10:45] <dicedingus> How is that done exactly? Usually when I've tried to run an X server on an empty session, it gives me an error about already being in use.
[10:45] <statl> aladdin: have a look into ~/Dropbox (or where ever you store the files of dropbox) and find it out
[10:45] <aladdin> statl: good idea, let me try that out
[10:46] <Ben64> dicedingus: i just type "vncserver" and it does the rest
[10:46] <Ben64> $ vncserver \n  New 'servar:1 (ben64)' desktop is servar:1
[10:46] <dicedingus> Alright, so, set up an ssh server, plug into that by way of putty or something from my laptop, run the vncserver command, then connect using... whatever it is I'll be using for a vnc client.
[10:46] <Ben64> and now all i'd have to do is "vncviewer servar:1"
[10:47] <statl> aladdin: or try `du -sh ~/Dropbox` directly; it will tell you the amount of consumed space
[10:48] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, I can't find the source of all my cpu usage
[10:49] <roadkill> Ben64: I have two scripts. One called svnc, another called kvnc. One starts it, the other kills it.
[10:49] <dicedingus> Okay, I think that gives me a handle on things, cheers mates. I'll ping back if anything gets pear-shaped.
[10:49] <roadkill> Ben64: svnc: vncserver -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16
[10:49] <dicedingus> (I love getting tech support at 4 in the morning. ;) )
[10:49] <roadkill> Whoops, I meant that for dicedingus
[10:49] <roadkill> dicedingus: kvnc: vncserver -kill redstone:1
[10:49] <demonoid_me> how can i compile plasma-wallpaper-dreamdesktop with cmake? i have this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5741556/
[10:49] <roadkill> It's pretty much that simple.
[10:50] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: Got gnome system monitor installed?
[10:50] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, I'm looking at it right now
[10:51] <roadkill> doesn't add up to 100%?
[10:51] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, I think it actually may be zram
[10:51] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: or a memory leak
[10:51] <roadkill> or both.
[10:51] <roadkill> zram causing a leak
[10:51] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, one core is at 100% the other is near 70-80%
[10:51] <aladdin> statl: how to exit from the view command? e.g. did view something.txt please
[10:52] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, ram usage looks ok
[10:52] <ActionPa1snip> aladdin: Q or ESC maybe
[10:52] <statl> aladdin: depends on the editor.
[10:52] <roadkill> aladdin: Ctrl C?
[10:52] <statl> or rather viewer
[10:52] <roadkill> Or Ctrl X if it's Nano or Pico
[10:53] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, hovering at 780mb of 1.5 gigs of physical ram and 200 kbs or 2.2 gigs of virtual ram
[10:53] <ShapeShifter499> *or=of
[10:53] <captianyipe> I just typed view into terminal.... feels like VI to me
[10:53] <OerHeks> demonoid_me, why build it? it is available by PPA > https://launchpad.net/~rafepel/+archive/utils
[10:53] <captianyipe> aladdin try typing :q
[10:53] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: A leaked process is one that didn't terminate properly but is still consuming resources. At this point, I'd seriously consider a reboot if you have untracable cpu loads.
[10:54] <demonoid_me> OerHeks:  woow 10x mann!!!
[10:54] <OerHeks> demonoid_me, or this one, https://launchpad.net/~thopiekar/+archive/raring-dev  but be carefull with PPA !
[10:54] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill,  this has been happening ever since I installed iRedMail, no matter how much I reboot
[10:54] <aladdin> ActionPa1snip: statl roadkill captianyipe it was actually ctrl + z
[10:54] <demonoid_me> OerHeks: what you mean?
[10:54] <aladdin> :)
[10:55] <roadkill> aladdin: Next time, mash random keys. You'll get it eventually ;)
[10:55] <OerHeks> demonoid_me, it can break stuff, but there is ppa-purge to reverse the software
[10:55] <statl> aladdin: ctrl+z suspends
[10:55] <demonoid_me> OerHeks: aa ok 10x :)
[10:55] <aladdin> statl: hmm, I assume it is return or undo command
[10:55] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, makes since that zram would be the culprit because it's a kernel module and wouldn't show up in system monitors like top or gnome-system-monitor
[10:55] <statl> aladdin: if you enter "fg", you'll probably have it back :P
[10:56] <ActionPa1snip> aladdin: if you use 'less' it is Q, it's also on nearly every *nix box
[10:57] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, I'll try removing it and rebooting to see what happens, I used the zram-config package so its easy to remove and reinstall
[10:57] <aladdin> ActionPa1snip: *nix box?
[10:59] <tasslehoff> I run xmonad from lightdm, and therefore .xinitrc is not run. What initscript can I put my startup commands in for lightdm to run them?
[10:59] <ActionPa1snip> aladdin: any UNIX, BSD or Linux box wil have less installed
[11:01] <aladdin> ActionPa1snip: okay :). I should probably read a book on Linux. Maybe *nux for dummies to get the whole picture. Because I kinda feel I am taking bottom up approach to learning
[11:02] <aladdin> sorry *nix for dummies
[11:02] <ActionPa1snip> aladdin: its jusy a new OS to you, you were like that once with Windows etc etc
[11:06] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: worth a shot.
[11:09] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, still high cpu usage
[11:09] <roadkill> then i guess it's your spam filterer
[11:10] <ShapeShifter499> roadkill, gnome-system-monitor shows it using less then 10% cpu
[11:13] <roadkill> ShapeShifter499: Dunno what else to suggest but based on what you've said so far, we had two possibilities and eliminated one.
[11:13] <ActionPa1snip> ShapeShifter499: pretty normal :)
[11:13] <ActionPa1snip> ShapeShifter499: do you have the latest BIOS?
[11:15] <aladdin> okay cool. ActionPa1snip, why do you the Ubuntu for anyway?
[11:16] <Adonos> Привет ребята
[11:16] <ActionPa1snip> aladdin: do you mean 'what do I use it for'?
[11:17] <statl> !ru | Adonos
[11:17] <ActionPa1snip> aladdin: 1 system is torrent and file server, one is backup, laptop is for browse and chat, media server is for media playback and so forth
[11:18] <ShapeShifter499> ActionPa1snip, yes
[11:22] <VikingHoarder> hi
[11:22] <ShapeShifter499> ActionPa1snip, system seems fine now after I sorted out the fan issues, any problems with hammering the system around 100% 24/7?
[11:22] <ActionPa1snip> ShapeShifter499: never hammered it really, its a web browsing system really. I think frozen bubble is the most strain it gets
[11:23] <ShapeShifter499> ActionPa1snip, huh?
[11:24] <ActionPa1snip> ShapeShifter499: I haven't hammered the system 100%, so I don't know
[11:25] <alericoveri> Hello everyone, I'm working on a  portable Quake II client htq2, you can check it out at http://alericoveri.com.ve/htq2. Thanks in advance! :)
[11:26] <roadkill> alericoveri: That would be an example of spam.
[11:27] <alericoveri> roadkill: I'm human and I can understand your point, I don't want to spam in fact, I just want to let you know about my project
[11:28] <roadkill> alericoveri: It is still spam and can get you banned from this network. Think about that if you want to continue using Freenode for your project.
[11:28] <BluesKaj> alericoveri, this is not the place
[11:29] <miceiken> Having some problems with aptitude: http://pastebin.com/RirLYx4G - any suggestions?
[11:29] <BluesKaj> !aptitude |  miceiken
[11:30] <marianne_> running 12.04 64 bit....if I replaced the motherboard, but left the HD alone... would i need to do a complete reinstall?
[11:30] <alericoveri> roadkill: all right all right I get it, I didn't know how serious this could be
[11:30] <BluesKaj> miceiken, best to use apt-get from now on
[11:31] <alericoveri> roadkill: I will respect the rules, I'm sorry for such misunderstanding
[11:31] <miceiken> BluesKaj, I am using apt-get
[11:31] <Enich> Anyone in here got experience with fully unattended installation of Nagios ?  the questions regarding mail and password, i would like them to be answered in some way so i can do the installation unattended
[11:31] <Onkeltem> HI all. I configured apt to autoupgrade, but it doesn't do that.  This is my /etc/apt/apt.conf.d/10periodic:  http://pastebin.com/71QiV84p
[11:31] <Onkeltem> What's wrong?
[11:31] <miceiken> prolly misuse of the word aptitude from my side BluesKaj
[11:32] <BluesKaj> marianne_, yes , unless the mobo is the same make and model as the one you replaced
[11:32] <BluesKaj> miceiken, ok
[11:33] <marianne_> BluesKaj: thanks... think I'll just collect everything first and build a new box, instead of upgrading one piece at a time. I really hate installation and set up
[11:34] <Onkeltem> How to manually run autoupdate/upgrade  procedure?
[11:34] <hduser_> i have installed jetty8 ; but its returning  /etc/init.d/jetty8: 31: /etc/default/jetty8: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-oracle: Permission denied when starting jetty
[11:34] <roadkill> marianne_: Save everything in your home directory, install the same packages, dump your home directory contents into the new spot. Most settings will restore without issue
[11:34] <BluesKaj> you'll still have to install an OS after building a new box , marianne_ I don't undewrstand
[11:35] <roadkill> marianne_: BluesKaj is right. You'll need to install an OS fresh on a new machine anyway.
[11:36] <marianne_> I know... but a fresh install on fresh hardware is a bit easier for me than trying to do troubleshooting a one component upgrade. I'm pretty new at this, but like to try to figure it out muself
[11:39] <roadkill> marianne_: And we're not new to this. You have to do a fresh install otherwise you'll likely run into severe instability because the previous install was based on a completely different system configuration.
[11:40] <roadkill> There's more than just the motherboard.
[11:40] <roadkill> You likely have a completely different chipset in that motherboard with different drivers for each of the components on it
[11:40] <zero_coder> hello
[11:41] <BluesKaj> marianne_, if you install a stable OS like ubuntu 13.04 , why would you need to troubleshoot other than if some driver /kernel module needs upgrading, unless troubleshooting is a default requirement of the workplace
[11:42] <marianne_> BlusKaj: never thought of it that way. is 13.4 LTS?
[11:42] <scummos> hello
[11:42] <scummos> are there no Qt 4.8.4 packages for ubuntu 12.04? :(
[11:43] <Myrtti> marianne_: no.
[11:45] <BluesKaj> marianne_, no it's a standard release
[11:46] <scummos> it seems like there is only 4.8.1 or so
[11:46] <scummos> which is really old
[11:48] <scummos> and it has an awful bug which makes our application crash, which means I meet a lot of unhappy users recently, and I can just tell them to update Qt to the latest bugfix release... which isn't available on their systems :(
[11:48] <6JTAASPQ8> 5=/win 20
[11:51] <ActionPa1snip> scummos: there is a ppa for newer versions
[11:52] <scummos> ActionPa1snip: ok, is there a reason why it's not in the official repositories?
[11:53] <roadkill> scummos: Ubuntu goes at their own pace for package updates and inclusion.
[11:53] <ActionPa1snip> scummos: because its LTS, it doesn't keep up with the latest. The idea of the LTS is to be solid, so few updates are given without lots of testing
[11:53] <roadkill> Long term stable versus bleeding edge
[11:54] <scummos> ActionPa1snip, roadkill: well, I don't expect an update from 4.8.x to 5.0. But 4.8.4 is released by the project maintainers as a bugfix release to 4.8.3 (or earlier)
[11:54] <ActionPa1snip> scummos: if you report a bug and the bug and security fixes are great then it will be updated, othrwise it will stay where it is
[11:54] <scummos> the current effect of this pace is that every Qt application which uses QtScript might just randomly crash (and does quite often, in fact)
[11:56] <scummos> ok, I'll report a bug...
[11:56] <cloneG> hello I would like to know whether multiple sessions are possible simultaneously on ubuntu...
[11:58] <cloneG> I am running a computer with three users...could one user login from a remote computer to his session while another user is using the computer?
[11:59] <ActionPa1snip> cloneG: sure, its a true multiuser OS. You can SSH in as a new user and run GUI apps as you need
[12:00] <ActionPa1snip> cloneG: you can even setup a multiseat PC and have lots of people work off the same PC
[12:00] <ActionPa1snip> cloneG: http://idg.bg/test/cwd/2010/11/5/33103-Userful_Multiseat_Linux_2011.JPG   fun :)
[12:00] <cloneG> ActionPa1Snip thats cool! how could I achieve that notice that the remote user would be using a mac osx
[12:01] <ActionPa1snip> cloneG: as long as there is an X server, you can run X based applications
[12:01] <zero_coder> hey. I have bad sectors in my harddisk .. can i remove it with ubuntu ?/
[12:01] <ActionPa1snip> cloneG: the processing will be done on the server but displayed on the client
[12:01] <ActionPa1snip> zero_coder: bad sectors are hardware based
[12:01] <hduser_> i have installed jetty8 ; but its returning  /etc/init.d/jetty8: 31: /etc/default/jetty8: /usr/lib/jvm/java-6-oracle: Permission denied when starting jetty
[12:01] <ActionPa1snip> cloneG: what is the remote access to achieve?
[12:03] <cloneG> ActionPa1Snip look the user would need access to his desktop...
[12:03] <ActionPa1snip> hd5770: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue
[12:03] <raven_> how to mount a partition at startup to a folder in encrypted home?
[12:03] <ActionPa1snip> cloneG: yes but to do waht?
[12:03] <cloneG> ActionPa1Snip to tidy it up, notice that he dont use the computer often...because I am at it most of the time
[12:04] <ActionPa1snip> cloneG: you can do that via SSH easily
[12:04] <cloneG> he doesnt*
[12:04] <cloneG> ActionPa1Snip secure?
[12:04] <cloneG> ActionPa1Snip I was thinking on vpn...though I dont really know how
[12:05] <cloneG> I need to go thanks for the help I will ask again later!
[12:05] <scummos> ActionPa1snip: sorry, I find myself unable to report a bug from the web interface (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu). where do I need to click? ._.
[12:06] <emx_> how do i mount a harddisk at boot time?
[12:06] <scummos> "report a bug" redirects me to a wiki page which tells me about the bug reporting etiquette
[12:07] <ActionPa1snip> scummos: run:   ubuntu-bug packagenamehere
[12:07] <ActionPa1snip> emx_: you don't mount harddisks
[12:07] <scummos> ActionPa1snip: I'm not using ubuntu
[12:07] <emx_> ActionPa1snip, filesystem...
[12:08] <ActionPa1snip> emx_: you can mount partitions on drives, if that's what you mean

[12:20] <ActionPa1snip> thunder1212: ok, then in the add printer app, give the internal IP of the router as the server and scan it. You could also see what settings are in windows

[12:23] <ActionPa1snip> thunder1212: what make and model is the printer?
[12:24]  * ActionPa1snip bets canon or kodak
[12:25] <thunder1212> ActionPa1snip, Canon MF3010 and the router is dlink dsl2750u
[12:26] <thunder1212> ActionPa1snip, is there any way i can scan from wifi?
[12:26] <ActionPa1snip> thunder1212: did you install the canon driver from the canon site?

[12:38] <glitch273> Hi, how do I get add-apt-repository to install package from an older version of Ubuntu?
[12:38] <glitch273> As in, I'm running Raring but the package only has files up to Precise
[12:39] <KaiserTh_> zykotick9: Thanks for the information
[12:40] <marianne_> Does the bot get mad if we just sit in here and learn stuff?
[12:40] <k1l> glitch273: that is not gonna work. take a look for a PPA that got that package and resolves the depencie issues
[12:40] <zykotick9> marianne_: so long as you do it in PM, no ;)
[12:40] <k1l> marianne_: you are free to sit by and read
[12:41] <cfhowlett> marianne_, actually a great way to learn and no the bot won't mind
[12:42] <glitch273> k1l: this is not a popular program so its not updated frequently, can I force it to install the Precise version?
[12:44] <k1l> glitch273: you can install the .deb package but this is not a supported ubuntu way

[13:03] <awaad> How to get ipv4 not ipv6 when using "# getent hosts" ?
[13:05] <KaiserTh_> I dont know where to look for my issue with my full /boot...
[13:09] <ActionParsnip> awaad: do you use ipv6?
[13:09] <awaad> ActionParsnip: No
[13:10] <awaad> ActionParsnip: But when I try "# getent hosts www.google.com" for example, it gives me ipv6 while I want ipv4
[13:10] <zykotick9> KaiserTh_: i'm just curious, do you have a specific need for a separate /boot?
[13:11] <ActionParsnip> awaad: if you disable IPv6 using the boot option: ipv6.disable=1
[13:12] <awaad> ActionParsnip: In which file should I disable this option?
[13:12] <daftykins> awaad: he just told you it's a boot option.
[13:12] <KaiserTh_> zykotick9: not at all, it's in a VM. I just did an apt-get autoremove and seemed to work
[13:12] <ActionParsnip> awaad: add it in /etc/default/grub as usual
[13:13] <raven_> how to split network traffic: upstream to mobile, downstream from cable?
[13:13] <zykotick9> KaiserTh_: a separate /boot has a couple of specific use cases, but is generally NOT needed (or recommended, due to the issue you are having) in modern times.
[13:14] <daftykins> raven_: why?
[13:19] <KaiserTh_> zykotick9: true, I usually do not separate them
[13:35] <g0to> hi there, people
[13:36] <cfhowlett> g0to, greetings
[13:36] <g0to> I having problems with the volume levels of my sound card since I installed 13.04
[13:37] <g0to> if anyone could run alsamixer in a terminal and answer some questions I'd appreciate it
[13:38] <designbybeck> Greetings all, I come to work today, fire up Ubuntu 13.04 and can't view any youtube videos. In Firefox or Chormium, I tired restarting, unintalling and reinstalling. Nothing seems to work? Youtube pulls up the opening ad video but doesn't play or advance. Nor does a youtube downloader plugin for firefox
[13:38] <designbybeck> Any suggestions?
[13:40] <g0to> designbybeck, it's not a solution, but you could try this to see if you can download any videos -> http://rg3.github.io/youtube-dl/
[13:40] <lotuspsychje> designbybeck: did you try installing ubuntu-restricted-extras
[13:41] <ShapeShifter499> does anyone here have experience with policyd or cluebringer?
[13:41] <marianne_> designbybeck: is it your PC or works... work network or your own? I'm thinking it's been blocked
[13:41] <designbybeck> Yes lotuspsychje: those are installed
[13:41] <designbybeck> it worked yesterday marianne_:
[13:41] <marianne_> designbybeck: overnight implementation,maybe... can anyone else at work view them?
[13:42] <designbybeck> HHMMMmmmm my coworker can't either on Windows... WTF workplace! ;)
[13:42] <luckymurali> Hi all
[13:43] <designbybeck> this is odd, It opens the Ad, but just sits there
[13:43] <g0to> designbybeck, did you try the youtube-dl script?
[13:43] <designbybeck> looking now g0to:
[13:43] <marianne_> designbybeck: yup, 've been there... work from home through VPN and I can't access anything on tht POS windows machine... thank god I have my own set up right next to it
[13:44] <g0to> it's very simple to use . Just run the python script and add the link to a youtube video as only parameter
[13:44] <luckymurali> I am using ubuntu server 12.04. I am facing a strange issue. my server is behind a NAT and my network goes down if there is no activity on my machine/network. i disabled iptables and firewall. still same issue. Please let me know how to resolve this
[13:46] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Define "goes down" please
[13:47] <designbybeck> g0to: looks like that stalls as well
[13:47] <raven_> how to split network traffic: upstream to mobile, downstream from cable?
[13:47] <luckymurali> CatKiller, I am not able to ping that ip
[13:47] <CatKiller> designbybeck: Probably some firewall rule to prevent employees from watching kitties dancing on valuable company time! :p
[13:47] <luckymurali> from same network
[13:47] <designbybeck> g0to: http://www.pasteall.org/42904
[13:47] <designbybeck> We are at a University, they aren't suppose to block YouTube
[13:48] <designbybeck> I need it for educational stuff
[13:48] <luckymurali> if i restart the network service , I am able to ping for few minutes
[13:48] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Can you paste the output of "ifconfig" and "route -n" somewhere?
[13:48] <designbybeck> Like Ubuntu and Blender tutorials!!
[13:48] <CatKiller> luckymurali: From both when it is up, and when it is down
[13:49] <g0to> designbybeck, seems like you are been blocked
[13:49] <luckymurali> ok
[13:50] <g0to> designbybeck, any change to talk to the networks administrators?
[13:50] <g0to> *chance
[13:50] <CatKiller> designbybeck: "Aren't supposed" is not a certainty ;) Maybe they decided it was putting too much stress on the network. The fact that your friend cannot also access on Windows (and I presume he could before) and that the script fails to download the vid would indicate that
[13:51] <antihero> How does one roll back a partially done apt-get upgrade?

[13:52] <poee> Can I switch the audio from headset to speaker while both are plugged in? one usually stops if I plugin the other
[13:53] <KyouReeus4nfo> poee: plug headset only halfway through you will hear sound in both :-); take headset off if you want to hear speaker.
[13:53] <KyouReeus4nfo> I hope you appreciate the humor
[13:53] <K4k> Hi, I'm having an issue with cached ldap credentials in Ubuntu 12.04. If I log in with cached credentials, the login hangs for 30-45 seconds and then when I finally get logged in, NetworkManager does not appear in the system tray. Any help would be appreciated.
[13:54] <K4k> This does not happen if I log off and then immediately log back in, however.

[13:56] <jimmy51_> does the initrd on the 13.04 LiveCD support NFS booting?
[13:58] <jimmy51_> !nfs
[13:58] <wN> jimmy51_: still having trouble? xD
[13:58] <jimmy51_> wN, oh yeah.
[13:58] <K4k> !nfsboot
[13:58] <Greggnix> heya
[13:58] <luckymurali> CatKiller, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5741963/
[13:59] <wN> jimmy51_: try this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisklessUbuntuHowto
[13:59] <K4k> !netboot
[13:59] <jimmy51_> this thing works great in 9.04.  12.04 and 13.04 fail on boot.  i suspect network is resetting or something mid boot and the NFS share is dropping
[14:00] <luckymurali> CatKiller, I pasted both the case
[14:00] <wN> jimmy51_: do you see any other messages other than the first message? things such as 'unable to mount /dev/root' thigns like that?'
[14:01] <jimmy51_> wN: if I leave my pxelinux config as is it was when it worked with 9.04 (other than changing the location, obviously) it hangs as before.  if I get rid of the netboot=nfs argument it goes a little further but drops to busybox
[14:02] <CatKiller> luckymurali, thanks
[14:02] <wN> jimmy51_: i haven't played much with that environment, but are you able to mount the nfs by hand at that point?
[14:02] <CatKiller> luckymurali: What is the IP address you cannot reach?
[14:02] <jimmy51_> wN: haven't tried.  i guess i could do that
[14:03] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Or IP addresses?
[14:03] <luckymurali> ip address
[14:03] <luckymurali> single ip address
[14:03] <luckymurali> if i restart network I ambale to ping
[14:03] <CatKiller> which IP was that?
[14:04] <CatKiller> It's important because depending on the IP it will get routed differently
[14:04] <jimmy51_> wN: something like this?  sudo mount -o 192.168.1.1:/exports/nfsroot/ubuntu /nfs
[14:04] <seedo> Hi all.
[14:04] <luckymurali> in /var/log/message , im getting withdrawing address record for eth0 and leaving mDNS multicast group on interface eth0ipv4
[14:05] <luckymurali> ip is 172.23.182.92
[14:05] <CatKiller> i.e. you cannot ping your own IP address?
[14:05] <luckymurali> from my machine I am able to ing
[14:06] <luckymurali> but from other machine in the same network I am not able to ping
[14:06] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Which address are you trying to ping that doesn't work from your machine, if any?
[14:06] <deadweasel> ubuntu gnome-keyring-daemon[2386]: unrecognized command: GETEVENTCOUNTER
[14:06] <deadweasel> what is this?
[14:06] <deadweasel> it's clogging my auth.log
[14:06] <luckymurali> from My machine I am able to ping other machine
[14:06] <deadweasel> every minute it says message repeated 30 times.
[14:06] <CatKiller> luckymurali: So really the machine can ping everything but another machine cannot ping this particular machine?
[14:06] <luckymurali> yes
[14:06] <CatKiller> luckymurali: how many machines cannot ping .92?
[14:06] <luckymurali> but I disabled firewall and iptables
[14:07] <belgianguy> hmm, I can't connect to a local machine over SSH, I have phys access to the server, and sshd runs, iptables is configured correctly and this used to work
[14:07] <luckymurali> i tried on my laptop not able to ping
[14:07] <belgianguy> any ideas on what could have broken? I keep getting connection refused
[14:07] <antihero> I reaaally need a way to ignore the "unmet dependencies" when apt-getting and just install a package
[14:07] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Could that be a problem on that laptop? Also, this only happens after a few minutes?
[14:07] <luckymurali> yes
[14:07] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Could it be that the IP address is actually used by more than one machine?
[14:08] <jimmy51_> wN: RPC: Remote system error -network is unreachable.  should busybox in ininramfs have ifconfig?
[14:08] <luckymurali> if i restart then im able to ping from my laptop for few mins
[14:08] <CatKiller> luckymurali: At this state your best bet is to fire up Wireshark and look at what's happening
[14:08] <zykotick9> antihero: perhaps you are unclear on what dependency means...
[14:08] <luckymurali> i just want to know why it is withdrawiing address for eth0
[14:08] <antihero> zykotick9: it isn't for this package
[14:08] <antihero> it is other stuff
[14:08] <CatKiller> Could be some problem on your laptop, could be that Ubuntu is restarting some filter after a few minutes, could be that another machine has the same IP
[14:08] <luckymurali> no
[14:08] <CatKiller> luckymurali: It's obviously not according to ifconfig
[14:08] <antihero> basically it's a shitty openvz box
[14:09] <luckymurali> i checked for IP conflicts
[14:09] <luckymurali> but no
[14:09] <antihero> and I tried an upgrade
[14:09] <antihero> and now it's stuck because it cant upgrade libc
[14:09] <antihero> because kernel is too old
[14:09] <CatKiller> how about the other two possibilities?
[14:09] <antihero> but I NEED to get mysql running
[14:09] <CatKiller> really the only way to tell at this point is to fire uo
[14:09] <CatKiller> *up WS
[14:09] <antihero> as a service depends on it
[14:09] <antihero> because I am an idiot
[14:09] <luckymurali> ok i will install and check
[14:09] <CatKiller> Or rather there are other solutions but they will take longer
[14:10] <luckymurali> what are they?
[14:10] <CatKiller> luckymurali: You also want to run "arp" on the laptop to figure out if the IP in question can get resolved to a valid MAC address, and to the right one
[14:10] <CatKiller> Wireshark
[14:10] <luckymurali> ok thanks
[14:10] <CatKiller> on the laptop you need to make sure that 172.23.182.92 maps to 00:1E:67:79:ED:95
[14:10] <luckymurali> i install
[14:10] <CatKiller> especially when you cannot ping
[14:10] <r00t-Ed> i will like to issue a bug report, but let me run it by you guys first to see if it is just my system
[14:10] <CatKiller> using "arp"
[14:10] <deadweasel> belgianguy: I usually resintall ssh if I have a problem.
[14:11] <r00t-Ed> i did a brand new installation of ubuntu 13.04 and there is this thing called Unity getting on the way of using the laptop correctly
[14:11] <belgianguy> deadweasel: yeah, but this is a mirror (test env) of a live system
[14:12] <belgianguy> deadweasel: meaning that if my live server does this, I'm buggered
[14:12] <luckymurali> CatKiller, this is happening if the system is behind NAT
[14:12] <belgianguy> is there a way to make sshd log verbose?
[14:13] <b1001> Hi guys, does there exist a progrma which can find what dependencies you need for a certain program on a barebore ubuntu and then downloade and load them so you can do offline installs using .bin, .sh or deb?
[14:13] <CatKiller> luckymurali: But you are pinging a local address right?
[14:13] <luckymurali> yes
[14:13] <CatKiller> luckymurali: What is the IP address of your laptop?
[14:13] <b1001> barebone sorry, i mean basic ubuntu server install
[14:13] <CatKiller> luckymurali: And what is the output of "route" on it?
[14:13] <luckymurali> 172.23.182.12
[14:13] <jimmy51_> i'm dropped to initramfs shell on failed boot.  should networking work at this point?
[14:13] <CatKiller> luckymurali: See when pinging locally NAT has nothing to do with it, the packets are *not* routed to the router that runs NAT
[14:13] <luckymurali> if network is up route reaching the ip
[14:14] <luckymurali> else im getting ****
[14:14] <CatKiller> what is the output of route -n?
[14:14] <CatKiller> In fact you should probably paste your network topology somewhere
[14:14] <luckymurali> ok cat Killer
[14:15] <luckymurali> give me some time, i will connect my laptop and gives you the output

[14:16] <b1001> Is there a program/script that finds out what dependencies a certain program needs and creates a autoinstaller for those dependencies for a basic ubuntu server?
[14:17] <SKYLAKE-10nm> yes apt-get
[14:17] <b1001> SKYLAKE-10nm: I mean if your server is not connected to the internet
[14:18] <SuperLag> I'd like to make sure that my regular user can run "sudo rsync ....." without being required to enter a password. Is it possible to do that?
[14:18] <SuperLag> Making a backup script that I'd like to automate, and I'm going to backup the entire filesystem.
[14:18] <b1001> so you could go on your laptop and say, well I need to install hadoop, okey, then compared to a basic ubuntu install you need these dependencies, then it fetches them and creates a script or deb package to install from
[14:19] <b1001> so youre not like, installing something and it says, hey you need this dependency.. then you get that, but that says hey you need that dependency

[14:36] <CatKiller> A tip: Look at "Active routes"
[14:36] <luckymurali> yes i find no active rotes
[14:37] <CatKiller> My guess is that that laptop cannot not just access your linux box

[14:37] <jeevanus> hai, im using ubuntustudio 12.04 , i have swap space of 3gb, but whenever i hibernate my system, it goes to hibernation and when i turn on, it comes as if system is rebooted, all programs will be closed. hibernation isn't working properly, where to rectify it? suspend is working correctly.
[14:37] <luckymurali> daftykins, no internet for my machine

[14:38] <CatKiller> it has a valid route yes
[14:39] <jeevanus> i tried some of this also: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1978290

[14:39] <daftykins> jeevanus: first of all, type on ONE LINE, then ask what you're after
[14:40] <daftykins> Raju: ask your question then. on ONE line
[14:40] <jeevanus> Raju: what is the pbm?
[14:40] <jeevanus> daftykins: i want to hibernate my system
[14:40] <CatKiller> luckymurali: You're not looking at the problem correctly. Your windows laptop has no way to route packets to the correct interface. You cannot ping *anything* on your network with it
[14:41] <jeevanus> daftykins: im using ubuntustudio 12.04 , i have swap space of 3gb, but whenever i hibernate my system, it goes to hibernation and when i turn on, it comes as if system is rebooted, all programs will be closed. hibernation isn't working properly, where to rectify it? suspend is working correctly.
[14:41] <CatKiller> luckymurali: I guess you have a router somewhere. See if you can ping the router from your laptop
[14:41] <luckymurali> i think becos the network went down
[14:41] <CatKiller> luckymurali: The lack of route is fairly obvious
[14:41] <daftykins> jeevanus: oh that one. yeah no idea, so wait until someone replies that does and don't repeat yourself please
[14:41] <pathworker> @g0to, I cracked it, thank you for your offer of assistance earlier.
[14:41] <dury> hi there channel :-)
[14:41] <luckymurali> i will restart and tell you
[14:41] <g0to> pathworker, np
[14:41] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Doesn't matter why, it doesn't look like a Ubuntu issue at all
[14:41] <g0to> hey, dury
[14:41] <luckymurali> CatKiller thanks
[14:41] <CatKiller> luckymurali,
[14:42] <CatKiller> maybe some coincidence made you think thqat
[14:42] <CatKiller> but I'd look into windows right now
[14:42] <dk0r> How do I get pinch-to-zoom to work on a Thinkpad via 13.04 ? I cannot find any info.
[14:42] <CatKiller> maybe run a ipconfig /release and /renew
[14:42] <CatKiller> if you have a DHCP in the mix
[14:42] <luckymurali> no
[14:42] <luckymurali> its static only
[14:42] <CatKiller> but it seems that the windows laptop's interface isn't configured at all
[14:42] <jeevanus> daftykins: thanks.... my log file - cat /var/log/pm-suspend.log
[14:42] <jeevanus>  says hibernation is successful
[14:42] <g0to> pathworker, anyway, you should try doing some things the old way (typing commands) from time to time
[14:42] <dury> how can I make red lines on my desktop I don't know the name of the application
[14:42] <dury> g0to: hi there
[14:42] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Output of ipconfig /all then
[14:42] <daftykins> jeevanus: check your boot logs as well to see if it talks about ignoring your hibernation state
[14:43] <g0to> pathworker, maybe one day you realize your are in love with the command line and you see yourself the power it offers
[14:43] <pathworker> your probably right there g0to , at some point im likely to come across something that a gui just won't be able to deal with..;-)
[14:43] <jeevanus> daftykins: where can i find it?
[14:44] <dk0r> How do I get pinch-to-zoom to work on a Thinkpad via 13.04 ? I cannot find any info.
[14:44] <daftykins> jeevanus: try grep'ing through dmesg
[14:44] <g0to> dury, I think we are gonna need some further information? What are those red lines you talk about?
[14:44] <luckymurali> CatKiller,http://paste.ubuntu.com/5742107/
[14:44] <jeevanus> ok

[14:45] <daftykins> luckymurali: your IP is 172.23.193.x and your gateway is 172.23.192.x - you've typo'd your config
[14:45] <daftykins> unless they're routed networks
[14:45] <luckymurali> it sis routed network only
[14:45] <g0to> dury, te referías a pintar circuilitos rojos en imágenes, eh?
[14:45] <luckymurali> i have typo
[14:46] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Well that's odd. And your "route print" output still shows nothing?
[14:46] <CrazyKade> good morning
[14:46] <g0to> dury, well, gimp can do the job
[14:46] <luckymurali> CatKiller, thanks, yes
[14:47] <SonikkuAmerica> !es | g0to, dury
[14:47] <CatKiller> luckymurali: Something is wrong here on Windows. A configured interface should have the matching routes configured. If not, try to disable the Wireless interface and re-enable it
[14:47] <yu> ohhh
[14:47] <CatKiller> you *need* these routes setup
[14:47] <dury> g0to: sorry a prefer English, thanks indeed
[14:47] <CatKiller> but again this is Windows troubleshoot not Ubuntu
[14:48] <SonikkuAmerica> CatKiller: For Windows issues, head for ##windows !
[14:48] <CatKiller> I don't have an issue, that's what I am saying
[14:48] <CatKiller> The initial assumption was that it was a Ubuntu issue
[14:48] <CatKiller> I think it's a windows one
[14:48] <CatKiller> but then again

[14:52] <g0to> minimec, shutter looks like the right app to do the job :)
[14:52] <Stanley00> dury: you can try conky
[14:52] <sambagirl> i have a .run but when i right click on it or double click it doesn't offer me the option to run it in a terminal. i chainged permissions to executeble.  `
[14:52] <jimmy51_> i've come to the conclusion that this no longer works:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot
[14:53] <dury> just with the mouse and Ctrl key or whatever
[14:53] <jimmy51_> following any tutorial on netbooting 13.04 or 12.04 has not worked, but it worked in 9.04.
[14:53] <g0to> dury, are you sure you want to draw lines in your desktop? I think you want to draw in images
[14:53] <dury> not really
[14:53] <daftykins> jimmy51_: not hugely surprising
[14:54] <dury> just to specify a zone in my desktop
[14:54] <g0to> dury, did you see or use something like that before?
[14:55] <hatchetjack> does ubuntu's libc include chflags?
[14:55] <hatchetjack> python in ubuntu does not have os.chflags
[14:55] <dury> that's right, I don't remember how it calls right now
[14:55] <hatchetjack> that's why I ask

[15:02] <Bonkers> anyone have experience with plymouth, vagrant, and the official vagrant cloud images? I have tried both 13.04 and 12.10, but both have problems. I can start the VM just fine, but if I install nginx, it doesn't start at boot. I traced the problem to the nginx init script crashing immediately on its first call to logging which in turn calls plymouth and then the script aborts because plymouth dies. There's
[15:02] <Bonkers>  also a bunch of plymouth dying messages in dmesg
[15:03] <dury> g0to: http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-dQvoby4Q1nA/TjFg039UZ2I/AAAAAAAAADQ/6gQ-XvGmkxI/s1600/Screenshot-1.png
[15:04] <SuperLag> I'd like to be able to run "sudo rsync" and not be required to enter a password. Is there a way to have sudo not require a password for just that one command?
[15:04] <dury> g0to: can I installed in gnome3
[15:04] <dury> g0to: without compiz
[15:05] <daftykins> SuperLag: i'd take the approach of 'why am i needing sudo to run this anyway?' rather than that
[15:05] <dk0r> Anyone know how to get pinch-to-zoom working on a Thinkpad slate PC via 13.04 ? I cannot find any info.
[15:06] <SuperLag> daftykins: because I'm doing a full system backup. And I want root's permissions to be preserved. The only way I see of doing that is starting with sudo
[15:06] <SuperLag> daftykins: but if I cron the rsync job, there won't be a tty, so no way to enter a password.
[15:06] <SuperLag> daftykins: I'm just trying to set up an automated backup procedure
[15:06] <somsip> SuperLag: run it as a root cronjob. sudo crontab -e
[15:07] <g0to> dury, I don't know :S
[15:07] <SuperLag> somsip: I don't know why I didn't think of that. That's much less hassle. :)
[15:08] <dury> g0to: right.... don't worry.... thanks for your help
[15:08] <g0to> dury, np. Hope you find a way to install it
[15:08] <SuperLag> Do you guys automate backups of your Ubuntu systems? If so, what are you using to do it?
[15:08] <somsip> SuperLag: rdiff-backup. Just set it up in the last couple of days
[15:08] <Bonkers> SuperLag, crashplan
[15:09] <Bonkers> rdiff-backup is also pretty nice
[15:09] <Bonkers> I used that before crashplan
[15:10] <SuperLag> somsip: wow. LOTS of options to that.
[15:10] <g0to> SuperLag, anyway, there is a way to skip password prompt. Just put the following line in your sudoers file ->  USERNAME ALL = (root) NOPASSWD:/usr/bin/rsync
[15:11] <SuperLag> g0to: thank you, as well
[15:11] <SuperLag> Bonkers: what made you choose a third-party option like Crashplan?
[15:12] <Bonkers> SuperLag, a LOT easier to setup, and they also provide a cloud storage option
[15:12] <SuperLag> Bonkers: how much are you paying for your subscription?
[15:12] <Bonkers> SuperLag, I started by backing up to 2 hard drives and swapping them every week or two, and leaving one at work
[15:12] <g0to> SuperLag, rsync just works for my RaspberryPi full system backups
[15:12] <SuperLag> g0to: rPi++
[15:12] <Bonkers> SuperLag, so I needed encryption and needed to be able to swap drives and have it seamlessly sync
[15:13] <Bonkers> SuperLag, I started on the $50/yr plan way back, it's maybe $80/yr now or something for the family plan
[15:13] <sambagirl> how can i unassociate a .run from GEDIT? it tries to open up with Gedit instead of execute ftom terminal? it is a binary app.
[15:13] <g0to> SuperLag, could you share your rsync line? I would like to see the options you are using and maybe I can complete mine
[15:13] <Bonkers> SuperLag, I also really like that it's one solution for windows, linux, and os x, have like 6 computers backed up, and they all go to one harddrive on my linux box and to the cloud
[15:13] <SuperLag> Bonkers: correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Crashplan let you backup $SystemA to $SystemB, as well?
[15:13] <Bonkers> SuperLag, see last msg :) also, only cloud costs money, so feel free to try out the $A->$B for free
[15:14] <Bonkers> been using crashplan for almost 3 years now and I'm still happy with it
[15:14] <sambagirl> is there a separate channel for 13.04?
[15:14] <SuperLag> g0to: I'm not there yet. I'm still comparing options. I just know I need something. Recently had to switch away from using my MacBook Pro at work, due to work policies... so now I'm on Linux full-time. And I'm nervous without the backup regime I had going on my MBP.
[15:15] <g0to> SuperLag, you can take a look at the script I'm runnig -> https://github.com/g0to/misc_scripts/blob/master/respalda.sh
[15:15] <SuperLag> sambagirl: if it's a binary file, it sounds like it may have gotten corrupted
[15:15] <g0to> SuperLag, forget about the deluge lines
[15:17] <sambagirl> i'm running ubuntu but i guess i better go to some other distro channel to get some help. blah

[15:46] <zykotick9> JR198: run the script, don't paste it
[15:46] <zykotick9> JR198: you'd need lots of && or & for that to work...
[15:47] <JR198> The script is basically some text on a website... Unless you can just run that?
[15:48] <JR198> Ctrl + Shift + V  just makes ^V come up
[15:48] <zykotick9> JR198: paste the script you want into a foo.sh file, then make it execuatable, or use "sh foo.sh" to run it.
[15:50] <Azaze1> hi, i am installing ubuntu 13.04 from pendrivelinux's usb. however, when i restart it says that the drive hangs for too long. can i even install from this usb solution?
[15:50] <zykotick9> JR198: keep in mind, running random stuff you find off the internet can be dangerous, if you don't understand every line that it's performing... just sayin'
[15:50] <bhavesh> How much RAM does 32bit version of Ubuntu support?
[15:51] <daftykins> bhavesh: it can install a PAE kernel so it can address more than 4GB
[15:51] <JR198> zykotick9: I'm not understanding what you mean by "paste into a foo.sh"...
[15:51] <Azaze1> how do i upgrade from ubuntu 10.04 lts to 13.04 lts?
[15:51] <daftykins> Azaze1: you have to go through every other version in between
[15:52] <DJones> Azaze1: 13.04 isn't an LTS version
[15:52] <Azaze1> it has been set to look for lts updates.
[15:52] <zykotick9> JR198: foo is just a term used as a variable, so replace foo with whatever you really want to call the file, with a .sh extension ;)
[15:52] <JR198> Ah
[15:52] <Azaze1> ah.. well it wont even see 12.04 one yet
[15:52] <JR198> Thanks
[15:53] <daftykins> bhavesh: if it installs a PAE kernel you could have up to 64GB RAM but it won't be as fast as using 64-bit
[15:53] <Azaze1> so why wont it see 12.04 lts?
[15:53] <daftykins> Azaze1: did you see my reply?
[15:53] <JR198> What can you use to save a text file as any extension? I tried LeafPad but it still saves the script as a text, despite the filename having .sh? (I don't see anywhere to change the extension to 2All Files)
[15:53] <bhavesh> daftykins: okay, ty.
[15:54] <zykotick9> JR198: sidenote ~/bin is a really handy place to store personal scripts (it's in your $PATH, but, you need to logout and back in, when you first create the directory)
[15:54] <zykotick9> JR198: scripts are text - that's normal
[15:54] <Azaze1> daftykins: i dont understand your answer unfortunaly
[15:55] <Azaze1> i know its 10.04 lts to 12.04 lts, just checked wiki :)
[15:55] <daftykins> Azaze1: ok, run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" to make sure you're fully updated on 10.04 - then run "sudo update-manager -d"
[15:55] <zykotick9> JR198: the first line should probably start #!/bin/bash or whatever interpreter you want (to be a proper "script")
[15:56] <JR198> zykotick9: As a text, I'm trying to run a script that just does apt-get update
[15:56] <JR198> Test, not text :)
[15:56] <JR198> I just saved it to desktop for now, but when I try to open the file from terminal it just says "command not found)
[15:56] <OerHeks> JR198, you need sudo to run such commands
[15:57] <JR198> I am currently sudo in the terminal
[15:57] <daftykins> Azaze1: my bad, if it's a server - run 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' as the second one
[15:57] <zykotick9> JR198: that can get tricky.  you'll need "sudo apt-get ..." so when you run the script, you'll have to be in a terminal to enter your password...
[15:57] <JR198> I put sudo -i apt-get update
[15:57] <JR198> In the script file
[15:57] <JR198> And named the file script.sh
[15:58] <zykotick9> JR198: i'd say using the -i is bad practise...  but YMMV
[15:58] <daftykins> whoever is helping JR198 - why don't you get to the root task rather than mess about helping run a random script? :)
[15:59] <JR198> zykotick9: What is the -i mean? I was told to use that before because simply typing su I don't know the password for
[15:59] <JR198> (It's my machine, I installed Ubuntu, and the su password doesn't seem to be using my password)
[15:59] <zykotick9> JR198: -i is interactive, it's for opening a "root" shell (but i think putting that into a script is dangerous)
[16:00] <zykotick9> !sudo > JR198
[16:00] <BluesKaj> !su  | JR198
[16:01] <zykotick9> !noroot > JR198
[16:01] <JR198> Ah so using !su | etc.etc basically pipes the following comands as superuser?
[16:01] <JR198> (So that I'm not permanantly logged in as super user)
[16:01] <Azaze1> thanks daftykins, that worked :)
[16:02] <daftykins> Azaze1: it might only be going to 12.04.2 LTS though
[16:02] <Azaze1> does anyone know "universal usb installer" from pendrivelinux? it fucks up when i install onto the harddrive
[16:02] <daftykins> language please
[16:03] <Azaze1> yes daftykins, you are correct
[16:03] <Azaze1> sorry
[16:03] <daftykins> well funnily enough it's not meant for installing to the HDD
[16:03] <zykotick9> JR198: ahhh, sidenote/warning, sudo doesn't travel across pipes... so in cases like that your origional "sudo -i" method might work out better ;)  well, it's already been suggested by others that I stop, so best of luck.
[16:03] <Azaze1> i figured that by now.. but until today i thought it could actually install on the fly
[16:03] <daftykins> to retain a root session i'm pretty sure it's 'sudo -s' for best practice
[16:03] <JR198> zykotick9: That's okay. But now I'm confused as to which command I should use when needing to run in sudo :S
[16:03] <daftykins> depending on whose /home you want to be considered /home
[16:04] <zykotick9> daftykins: "sudo -i" or "sudo -s" are very close, but i can't say which is "most"-ubuntu...
[16:04] <MASTER260> Hey, just wondering if anyone's been working on porting Ubuntu for tablets over to Android-x86.
[16:04] <JR198> Pardon my "noviceness" in all this ^^
[16:04] <Azaze1> so, if i installed 13.04, can it easily upgrade to 14.04 lts next year?
[16:04] <Azaze1> or is it only lts to lts?
[16:05] <daftykins> Azaze1: 13.04 isn't LTS as some people have said
[16:05] <MASTER260> Um... does anyone know?
[16:05] <DJones> MASTER260: Somebody in the #ubuntu-touch channel may have an idea on that
[16:05] <MASTER260> Ah, good point.
[16:05] <MASTER260> Thanks!
[16:06] <Azaze1> yes i know. my question is CAN i update to the 14.04 lts next year? or does it only work from lts to lts?
[16:06] <DJones> Azaze1: yes, but you have to go through 13.10 first
[16:06] <Azaze1> i see
[16:07] <Azaze1> well thats confusing
[16:07] <zykotick9> Azaze1: i'm not sure what you're asking exactly, but 1) you can't "skip" releases (except lts->lts) and 2) normal installs will upgrade to the lts when it also happens to be the "next" release
[16:08] <Azaze1> aha
[16:08] <DJones> Azaze1: Not really, each release can upgrade to the next version, however LTS versions can also wait and go directly to the next LTS release (which are spaced 2 years apart)
[16:09] <Azaze1> so when i have upgraded to 12.04 lts, can i upgrade to 13.04 anyhow?
[16:10] <auronandace> Azaze1: you may as well just fresh install 13.04
[16:10] <zykotick9> Azaze1: 13.04 is NOT an LTS!  they come out every 2 years
[16:10] <auronandace> Azaze1: otherwise you'd have to go through the interim releases too
[16:10] <Azaze1> aha
[16:11] <zykotick9> Azaze1: fresh install...  i my STRONG suggestion.  good luck.
[16:11] <Azaze1> im installing ubuntu on many computers to give them away for free, so i guess im just trying to see whats best to give the users
[16:11] <Azaze1> assuming they will never understand anything
[16:11] <auronandace> Azaze1: 12.04
[16:12] <Azaze1> 12.04 lts you mean?
[16:12] <NickG> Azazel: I find KDE desktop environment is great for people switching from Windows.  It looks similar.
[16:13] <Azaze1> then the users will download exe files and expect them to work ;p
[16:13] <Lars_G> Hello.
[16:13] <NickG> Azazel: that will be a problem, but an application called Wine can run a lot of exe files.
[16:14] <Azaze1> yes i know, i am mostly referring to installers
[16:14] <NickG> Azazel: visit www.winehq.com to see a list of compatible applications
[16:14] <Lars_G> Using LTS server on a KVM guest with virtio, which is working already, do I have any advantage in choosing the virtual kernel image build rathen than generic?
[16:14] <Lars_G> Considering it's for server, maybe a server build would make more sense?
[16:16] <NickG> Azazel: 12.04 is LTS, I am pretty sure that is related to your initial question
[16:17] <StarOnD> Hello everyone, when I do ./index.js in  /node_modules/mocha I get :---> bash: ./index.js: Permission denied what do I do ?
[16:18] <NickG> Star0nD: Right click on the file you are trying to execute, and go to the permissions tab, what are they set to?
[16:18] <carlo> HELLO
[16:18] <NickG> Hi
[16:18] <daftykins> StarOnD: if you're sure you're meant to execute it, chmod +x index.js
[16:19] <carlo> BBA scusa ma sono ITAY
[16:20] <Nickswitz> I am using 12.04 LTS on a Intel NUC and for some reason the GUI elements are not working, the mouse will not move from open window to open window, but the keyboard can access them through use of the TAB keyboard command. and the device will not allow downloads to occur, when trying to download a file the file download dialouge comes up for firefox and then when I say save it simply does not download
[16:21] <StarOnD> daftykins, I think I have made some mistake but thank you
[16:21] <carlo> ok ke xubuntu 13.04
[16:24] <StarOnD> actually  I have installed tilemill and I think I should have a folder /usr/share/tilemill but I can;t find it : (
[16:25] <daftykins> StarOnD: 'sudo updatedb' then 'locate tilemill'
[16:29] <Azaze1> err. doing the 10.04 lts > 12.04 lts upgrade.. now it popped up and the text is only ☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
[16:29] <Azaze1> ruined?
[16:29] <jhutchins_wk> Nickswitz: How does the console perform?  Are you getting errors in /var/log/Xorg.0.log?  (Lots of noise in there.)
[16:30] <Pinkamena_D> my usb flash drive is has randomely started mounting as read only
[16:30] <Pinkamena_D> what do?
[16:37] <ClientAlive> I just put a new hd in my old box. BIOS recognizes the drive but running ubuntu 10.04 live does not see the drive. dmesg | tail and mount show nothing to indicate the drive. fdisk /dev/sda gives "unable to open /dev/sda" What should I do so I can create a partition table and format the drive?
[16:37] <Bauer> anyone knows what to do when mount.ntfs CPU utilization spikes, when writing massive amounts of data into NTFS paritition? it slows down backup of files from another computer on my GBit LAN at home.. massively
[16:37] <Bauer> even the ftp client's GUI lags when mount.ntfs spikes (compiz takes CPU too)
[16:37] <strixUK> i've installed mailman on my ubuntu server, but it seems that there is additional configuration required, and i'm unsure exactly what I should do and what i should leave alone
[16:38] <strixUK> for example, the ubuntu mailman documentation seems to suggest manually adding the list aliases into /etc/aliases, but presumably that means that web-based creation of new lists won't work
[16:38] <strixUK> is that an oversight, or..?
[16:41] <Asad> What's are these annoying unity notifications called? The shaking app icon animation at left whenever there's application activity.
[16:41] <BluesKaj> ClientAlive, try mount
[16:42] <Asad> I am not talking about the bubble notifications of notifyosd ..
[16:42] <ClientAlive> BluesKaj: I can but now I have another problem. I'm finding that the drive is sometimes recognized in BIOS and sometimes not (like now it isn't)
[16:43] <BluesKaj> ClientAlive, then make sure it's the first drive in the boot sequence
[16:43] <thiebaude> Asad, i think you can turn those off with Unity Tweak
[16:43] <Asad> I was looking for a command-line solution
[16:43] <eric111> hello, I created a persistent usb thumb drive inside of Ubuntu, formatted it Fat32 and verified that casper-rw exists but the thumb drive will not keep any changes. I made a test.txt document on the desktop but when I restart it and all other changes vanish. Is there some setting I have to enable in the thumb drive itself to save upon shutdown?
[16:44] <thiebaude> ahh ok Asad
[16:44] <thiebaude> :)
[16:44] <Asad> basically i was doing a "do not disturb" mode ... for notifyOSD, i can stop the service but I don't know what to do about unity launcher notifications ..
[16:45] <ClientAlive> BluesKaj: that would be impossible (since it's a brand new drive not even partitioned or formatted) but I did find a setting in BIOS (setting that bus to manual).
[16:45] <BluesKaj> ClientAlive, then after rebooting you can make the cdrom or other media drive you default in the boot sequence
[16:45] <thiebaude> Asad, i wish i knew, sorry
[16:45] <Asad> np and thanks :)
[16:46] <thiebaude> yw
[16:46] <ClientAlive> BluesKaj: I think I get your meaning now
[16:46] <root__> hola regrese
[16:46] <ClientAlive> thx
[16:46] <BluesKaj> ClientAlive, for Hardware recognition
[16:47] <eric111> any ideas?

[16:50] <OerHeks> !rootirc
[16:50] <eric111> NickG is there a way i can verify that the drive sees itself as persistent?
[16:50] <CrazyKade> [theadmin] ok, i'm sorry!
[16:51] <root__> i am traslate
[16:51] <CrazyKade> [root__] lets go priv
[16:51] <root__> thanks
[16:51] <root__>  i am from colombia
[16:51] <NickG> eric111: I had a problem with my usb drive last week, turned out to have been corrupted in some way.  I would advise maybe trying to recreate it.  Did you use unetbootin?
[16:51] <root__> reboot my pc
[16:52] <eric111> NickG I created the drive with the GUI installer and selected the persistent option.
[16:52] <NickG> eric111: In unetbootin, correct?
[16:53] <ClientAlive> BluesKaj: I had wanted to check a setting I saw in BIOS to set that (inturrupt?) "Primary Master" in BIOS to "Manual" rather than auto. After that I saw that the drive was recognized in the bios. I exited BIOS setting and booted from the optical drive (into ubuntu 10.04). Same thing. dmesg and mount give no indication of the drive mount /dev/sda gives "you must specify a file system type" (there is no fs on the drive). And fdisk /dev/sda
[16:53] <ClientAlive> gives unable to open /dev/sda
[16:53] <eric111> I used the "Startup disk creator"
[16:53] <ClientAlive> wth?
[16:53] <eric111> from within ununtu's gui
[16:54] <ThinkT510> ClientAlive: 10.04 is only supported on the server now
[16:55] <eric111> *ubuntu
[16:57] <asharas> Hi all
[16:57] <NickG> eric111: I have only ever used Unetbootin.  Maybe try with that.
[16:58] <asharas> I'm in trouble after cloning my partitions with gparted
[16:58] <eric111> is that a command line application or gui?
[16:58] <gordonjcp> unetbootin doesn't work
[16:58] <asharas> iptraf shows me that my server is now PartedMagic.mydomain.com
[16:58] <gordonjcp> just dd the image onto a USB stick, and make sure you run "sync" before you unplug itr
[16:58] <gordonjcp> *it
[16:59] <asharas> but I still connect to it using the name I configured at first install
[16:59] <jimmy51_> i've got some questions for someone who specializes in netbooting and/or the liveCD.  is there someone i can watch for to be online to ambush? :)
[17:00] <eric111> I just don't get why its not saving changes. It boots fine and everything the casper-rw is there is there a way to verify that its booting in a persistent mannor?
[17:01] <ClientAlive> I see one line in dmesg concerning that drive. It says: "ata1.00: ATA-8: WDC*,01.03E01, max UDMA/133" Could that information be of any use to me?
[17:02] <BluesKaj> ClientAlive, ok, I thought you had a formatted drive with no OS installed , use the gparted partitoner in the live cd to set up your partitions and format them
[17:03] <epsilonorion_> does anyone know if the nvidia optimus drivers are up to par or should I stick with bumblebee?
[17:04] <ClientAlive> BluesKaj: thx man I got er now  :)
[17:05] <alshulaih> j/ #arabeyes
[17:08] <niargh> How can I find what "apt-get install xxx" will install before actually running it?
[17:09] <X-Sleepy-X> niargh: apt-get -s install
[17:09] <X-Sleepy-X> niargh: -s for simulate
[17:10] <niargh> X-Sleepy-X: thanks, but this doesn't give me the list of what will be installed.
[17:10] <niargh> X-Sleepy-X: in particular : I'm trying to see what the difference between git and git-core is
[17:11] <eric111> NickG I'm going to try and re create the disk
[17:11] <jimi_> I installed asterisk, removed it, and rm -rf /etc/asterisk/    after re-installing it didn't re-gen the conf files in /etc/asterisk/ how can i do that?
[17:11] <trism> niargh: there is no difference, git-core just deps on git, the package used to be called git-core
[17:11] <niargh> trism: thanks!
[17:11] <X-Sleepy-X> niargh: if there only will be one package installed you will get no promt: like for apt-get install acpi but if you try to install a package with dependencies you will be promted if you want to continue and it will display the adtitional packages
[17:12] <lotuspsychje> !cookie | X-Sleepy-X
[17:12] <X-Sleepy-X> :)
[17:12] <lotuspsychje> nice trick
[17:13] <niargh> X-Sleepy-X: Thanks. Is there a verbose version that would display every file that would be downloaded?
[17:15] <snipershot> hello
[17:15] <X-Sleepy-X> niargh: it will only download those packages that you are promted about...
[17:15] <snipershot> can i get some help?
[17:15] <akhil_> Um, hello.
[17:15] <X-Sleepy-X> niargh: though it may contain more files withing each package i asume...
[17:16] <X-Sleepy-X> !ask | snipershot
[17:16] <akhil_> Anybody from India?
[17:17] <tripelb> hi.is there a simple direct way to make a liveCD from a 12.04 installation with no internet connection?
[17:17] <niargh> X-Sleepy-X: Right, thanks! And my next question would be "is there an  way to list the package contents?"
[17:17] <snipershot> how can I format my second hdd to install ubunu on it? I can only see FAT32 and NTFS. aslo when i boot ubuntu from a live usb it says it cannot detect my gpu
[17:17] <bazhang> !in | akhil_
[17:17] <epsilonorion_> is there currently a way to get web apps on ubuntu 12.04?
[17:18] <akhil_> Okay. Thanks Ubottu..
[17:18] <X-Sleepy-X> niargh: not sure about that but you can choose to only download the packages and not install them "apt-get --help" or perhaps find more information about a package by running "apt-cache show xxx"
[17:18] <DreamPCs> Hey guys, after installing any set of proprietary nvidia drivers X seems to crash when switching resolutions or entering/leaving full screen games.
[17:18] <niargh> X-Sleepy-X: Thanks a lot for your help!
[17:18] <fshaikh> Hi, I have a website deployed on localhost, I am willing to access it on the internet even for few minutes as the IP will be dynamic. How can I setup this.
[17:19] <sendaljepit> firewall
[17:19] <X-Sleepy-X> niargh: you're welcome
[17:19] <bazhang> !ufw | sendaljepit
[17:20] <eric111> fshaikh, enable port forwarding on your router on port 80 (assuming thats where you are running your web server) and forward to your web servers IP address
[17:21] <DreamPCs> Any ideas on why my X server keeps crashing? 3d acceleration appears to be working but it seems to crash whenever it changes video modes.
[17:21] <daftykins> DreamPCs: check out /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[17:22] <snipershot> how can I format my hdd to ext4?
[17:22] <bazhang> !gparted | snipershot
[17:22] <compdoc> gparted works well
[17:22] <SuperLag> snipershot: mkfs.ext4 /dev/foo
[17:22] <SuperLag> snipershot: or, as compdoc suggests, gparted
[17:22] <X-Sleepy-X> snipershot: you will get an option during the installation to manually partition your hdd
[17:23] <DreamPCs> daftykins: I'm looking at the document but I'm not certain what to look for.
[17:23] <daftykins> DreamPCs: lines with (WW) or (EE) hinting at why it crashed
[17:23] <SuperLag> DreamPCs: if the format is like it used to be, look for lines that have EE at the beginning
[17:23] <snipershot> X-Sleepy-X: I get no such option, it says no space available when I have a second hdd empty
[17:24] <SuperLag> DreamPCs: ^^^ what he (daftykins) said :)
[17:24] <X-Sleepy-X> snipershot: if you boot the live session, "Try Ubuntu", then you can open gparted, from there you should be able to partition the second hdd
[17:24] <compdoc> snipershot, sometimes you have to set the partition type before being able to format. also a good job for gparted
[17:25] <snipershot> ok will try this out. also why doesnt ubuntu recognise my saphire hd5570?
[17:25] <DreamPCs> Thanks guys. I see an error that after "setting mode" to an nvidia auto select it errored out. Error was "Error recovery failed. Aborting."
[17:26] <SuperLag> snipershot: what makes you think it doesn't recognize it? It's a standard ATA or SATA hard drive, right?
[17:26] <cristian_c> Hi
[17:26] <snipershot> SuperLag: its a gpu
[17:26] <cristian_c> I've installed xbindkeys-config
[17:26] <cristian_c> If I try to get the key with GetKey, nothing is printed in the application
[17:27] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: did you check your additional drivers?
[17:27] <cristian_c> How can I check the right identification of my key?
[17:27] <cristian_c> Any ideas?
[17:27] <SuperLag> snipershot: sorry, you started out talking about hard drives, so I associated it with that :)
[17:27] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: hmm i dont really know what those are..
[17:27] <snipershot> SuperLag: its cool
[17:28] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: check software&updates last tab 'additional drivers'
[17:28] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: where is that?
[17:28] <SuperLag> snipershot: yeah, I'm guessing there's a driver for that... even if it's not the proprietary AMD/ATI driver. radeon may work.
[17:28] <SuperLag> snipershot: from the command line: lspci | grep VGA
[17:29] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: in your start icon lept upside
[17:29] <snipershot> windows or ubuntu?
[17:29] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: you installed ubuntu right?
[17:30] <SuperLag> o.O
[17:30] <SuperLag> I thought that was a given. #mymistake
[17:30] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: no i cant. and when i wanna try it it gives me an error that it cant recognise my gpu
[17:30] <SuperLag> that's very VERY odd
[17:30] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: your still in setup?
[17:31] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: im on windows 7 atm
[17:31] <melow01> I'm about to setup an Ubuntu Server on a VMware machine in a couple hours. Any suggestions?
[17:31] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: you know that you are in ubuntu support channel here ?
[17:32] <ThinkT510> melow01: does it have to be vmware?
[17:32] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: i do. im looking for help in getting ubuntu to work. am i in the wrong place??
[17:32] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: no, its allright
[17:33] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: so your setup says it doesnt recognize gpu and then what?
[17:33] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: that i have to configure settings myself
[17:33] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: and when i try to run in low graphics mode it just does nothing
[17:34] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: did you complete setup and started failsafeX from grub?
[17:34] <melow01> ThinkT510, our IT department at work de-commissioned some VMware machines so we're setting up there.
[17:34] <shriphani> hi. how do I check which window manager I am using ?
[17:35] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: no that is in "try ubuntu" mode
[17:35] <melow01> ThinkT510, this is my first time playing with virtual machine and installing ubuntu server but i've been using ubuntu desktop for years
[17:36] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: so you didnt try 'install ubuntu' yet?
[17:36] <ThinkT510> melow01: i've never used vmware but there is a page on it, not sure if it covers guests though
[17:36] <ThinkT510> !vmware | melow01
[17:36] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: i did try but I cannot do so because i cant select the drive I want to install it to(i cant select any drive actually)
[17:37] <elisa87> does this show that I have created the disk image successfully? Is there a way to check if the disk image is created successfully or not? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5742538/
[17:37] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: after connecting to my wi-fi it says that i have no disk space available
[17:37] <melow01> ThinkT510, ok... Our head IT guy is going to do the VMware install and management. I'm hoping to have him allocate me a machine I can use to install Ubuntu Server.
[17:37] <SuperLag> melow01: You'd have to install VMware manually, but it definitely works on Ubuntu.
[17:37] <SuperLag> melow01: do you have a license for VMware Workstation?
[17:37] <xxx123> всем привет
[17:38] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: that doesnt make sense mate, what option did you choose dualboot with win7?
[17:38] <lotuspsychje> !ru | xxx123
[17:38] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: it doenst give me a choise
[17:38] <elisa87> loop: can't delete device /dev/loop2: Device or resource busy (is this an error?)
[17:38] <melow01> SuperLag, Yes, we have lots of vmware licenses. These machines live in our central equipment room with another vmware farm.
[17:38] <snipershot> choice*
[17:39] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: how big is your HD you want to install on?
[17:39] <xxx123> join#ubuntu-ru
[17:39] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: 320gb
[17:39] <SuperLag> melow01: well, if you download VMware Workstation and install it on your Ubuntu box, you can transfer the existing VM over, and it should just work.
[17:39] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: and setup says not space enough?
[17:39] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: exactly
[17:40] <SuperLag> melow01: I move VMs between my Linux box and Mac on a regular basis. And I've moved between Windows and Linux versions of VMware, as well.
[17:40] <melow01> SuperLag, that's good to know. But we're installing from scratch later today so I think we'll just do it there. Anything I should I know?
[17:40] <xxx123> где набрать ubuti-ru
[17:40] <SuperLag> melow01: are you on 13.04?
[17:40] <eintw1ck> can i use unetbootin on mac to make a bootable usb to install lubuntu
[17:40] <jbroome> eintw1ck: sure
[17:40] <xxx123> help mi
[17:40] <theadmin> xxx123: Там же, где сообщения: /join #ubuntu-ru
[17:41] <melow01> SuperLag, I'm planning to download the LTS version so avoid any issues. Should I go with 13.04?
[17:41] <theadmin> xxx123: Лучше скопируйте
[17:41] <eintw1ck> ok im new to ubuntu but not really unix
[17:41] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: ubuntu setup should at least recognize the 320g hd and give you a choice..
[17:41] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: i dont know why this happens,im new to linux
[17:41] <SuperLag> melow01: I like 13.04 because of some newer features, and the newer programming language versions (like Python 3, by default)... but stick with whatever you're comfortable with. :)
[17:42] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: your win7 install is full maybe?
[17:42] <melow01> SuperLag, ok thanks! This is my first ubuntu server install... is there a gui or is it all command line?
[17:42] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: if you mean the drive with win7 on it it has some 100gb free
[17:42] <SuperLag> melow01: I was going to say, if you go with 13.04, you might consider using the open-vm-* packages, rather than trying to install the bundled VMware Tools. As there are issues getting that working without creating some symlinks.
[17:43] <SuperLag> melow01: the answer to that question is "yes". :)
[17:43] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: thats even stranger...ubuntu setup should not give that error
[17:43] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: can it be because im booting it from a usb?
[17:43] <SuperLag> melow01: it is an ncurses-based install, so it's text, but it's a bit of a GUI, if that makes sense
[17:44] <melow01> SuperLag, haha... thanks. So, should I just extract the iso to a bootable USB and run the install from usb?
[17:44] <DreamPCs> What's the Ubuntu off topic channel?
[17:44] <SuperLag> melow01: you move your box around with arrow keys, and there are fields to type things into
[17:44] <lotuspsychje> !ot
[17:44] <SuperLag> melow01: which ISO?
[17:44] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: no i installed with usb many times
[17:44] <melow01> ubuntu-12.04.2-server-amd64.iso
[17:44] <melow01> SuperLag, ubuntu-12.04.2-server-amd64.iso
[17:45] <SuperLag> melow01: oh. No! that'd be sloooooow :)
[17:45] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: i even tried creating a RAW partition on my second hdd but it gives the same error
[17:45] <IdleOne> melow01: you don't extract the iso. you can dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/USB
[17:45] <SuperLag> melow01: when you're configuring the VM, point the CD-ROM device to that .iso file, and it'll read it right off the hard drive. MUCH faster that way
[17:45] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: did you change anything in bios maybe?
[17:45] <melow01> IdleOne, right...  sorry I didn't mean extract
[17:45] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: just the boot order
[17:45] <SuperLag> oh wait
[17:46] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: no new hd or something?
[17:46] <guest-7sCfqQ> hello
[17:46] <SuperLag> melow01: first you're going to do a server install, then put VMware on that server to run VMs from?
[17:46] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: nope
[17:46] <melow01> SuperLag, oh ok, I think I understand. That makes sense, the mounted hdd would be faster than the usb
[17:46] <SuperLag> melow01: or is the server install in a VM?
[17:47] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: not sure why it does that mate, doublecheck bios if your hd is recognized
[17:47] <xxx123> извите я новенький можно попдробней где вводить то join#ubunti-ru
[17:47] <melow01> SuperLag, The hardware is a multicore machine with X processors and 64GB of RAM connected to a SAN over iSCSI.
[17:47] <elisa87> what should I do ? sudo losetup /dev/loop0 x86_new.img   ----- losetup: /dev/loop0: device is busy
[17:47] <melow01> SuperLag, I believe the plan is to use VMware to create multiple VMs and then install my Ubuntu server onto one of the VMs.
[17:47] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: i have and everything is ok. i can use the drive in windows as well no pboblem
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: this warning setup gives would only be if the hd is not big enough for the install...maybe its only recognize usb stick?
[17:48] <SuperLag> melow01: man... I'm loving this ThinkPad w/32GB of RAM. Can't imagine having 64GB. No swapping!
[17:48] <xxx123> join#ubunti-ru
[17:48] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: maybe
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> xxx123: type /join #ubuntu-ru
[17:48] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: so should i try with a live CD?
[17:48] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: usb should work also...
[17:49] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: how did you make the boot usb?
[17:49] <melow01> SuperLag, wow... your laptop has 32GB?? That's nuts. Mine has 4GB.
[17:49] <SuperLag> melow01: http://www.zimagez.com/zimage/screenshot-06062013-115749pm.php this is me with VMware on my ThinkPad. 32GB is enough to run 4 VMs at once, and it doesn't even skip a beat. :)
[17:49] <snipershot> lotuspsychje:with a live usb creator
[17:49] <xxx123> мммм да чувствую буду сам грысть пингвина =)
[17:49] <melow01> SuperLag, But ya, our server farm has tons of vmware machines running windows servers connected to a large SAN.
[17:50] <SuperLag> melow01: ThinkPad W530. And it has 3 SSDs in it, too.
[17:50] <B0g4r7> Hi guys.  I'm running Ubu 12.04 on an Atom mini-pc, and every time the CPU temp exceeds 60C, a box pops up over and over asking to shut the system down.  How can I increase the temp threshold so this doesn't happen so easily?
[17:50] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: you could try with livecd yes
[17:50] <lotuspsychje> anyway gtg
[17:50] <snipershot> lotuspsychje: ok mate thank you very much
[17:50] <B0g4r7> It only happens if I'm logged in.  If I'm at the login screen, it does not trigger.
[17:50] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: good luck!
[17:50] <melow01> SuperLag, Wow! 3SSDs? How large is that machine?
[17:50] <jimmy51_> does the INITRD.lz on the Ubuntu 13.04 LiveCD have NFS included?
[17:50] <lotuspsychje> snipershot: if it doesnt work come back in chat and re-ask ok :p
[17:51] <SuperLag> melow01: yeah, in that case... when you configure the VM, point the CD-ROM device to the .iso file. Much faster.
[17:52] <Kion> When I run the live Cd the broadcom drivers are there and I can use the wireless, when I install it, the broadcom drivers cant be activated unless I first do a system update any ideas why is this?
[17:52] <SuperLag> melow01: it's a 15" laptop. 2 regular size 2.5" laptop drives. 1 mSATA SSD, which is like a RAM stick. I pulled the optical and keep it for a rainy day. The bay where the optical goes is where I put the second 2.5" SSD.
[17:53] <bvangennip> SuperLag: i thnk you will have to consider chaninging your nick from superlag ;)
[17:53] <melow01> SuperLag, oh shit, i never thought about putting an ssd in the optical drive! That's hella cool.
[17:54] <melow01> bvangennip, agreed
[17:54] <SuperLag> bvangennip: melow01: yeah, it certainly doesn't fit this machine. However... let me show you something. :) brb.
[17:55] <SuperLag> 10:55 -NickServ(NickServ@services.)- Information on SuperLag (account SuperLag):

[17:55] <SuperLag> sorry... I'll upset the powers-that-be
[17:55] <IdleOne> !ot | SuperLag
[17:55] <SuperLag> I'm done :)
[17:55] <SuperLag> yeah yeah... I got it.
[17:57] <SuperLag> melow01: Where you are planning on running this Ubuntu VM... is it an ESX instance?
[17:57] <jsievert> anybody here good with juju?
[17:57] <jessepollak> does anyone have any ideas how to create an upstart script that contains a command which needs a password (PEM phrase for SSL certificate)?
[17:58] <jrib> jessepollak: try #upstart perhaps
[17:58] <jessepollak> just pinged in there..no go.
[17:58] <jessepollak> i'll keep trying though
[17:58] <jsievert> got an odd problem trying to get juju to sync-tools
[17:58] <melow01> SuperLag, yes ESX
[17:59] <jsievert> i found the bug with needing the AWS ID but it still does not want to sync-tools
[17:59] <SuperLag> melow01: yeah, then vmware tools is more than likely a non-issue
[17:59] <SuperLag> melow01: what will you be using the Ubuntu server VMs for?
[18:00] <SuperLag> just to experiment?
[18:00] <melow01> SuperLag, awesome. I'm not familiar with vmware yet but my friend in IT knows vmware.
[18:00] <SonikkuAmerica> #vmware
[18:00] <melow01> SuperLag, ya, experiment, play around, I'd like to use the ubuntu server to learn open stack
[18:02] <fwaokda> all my icons in my unity bar are greyed out except for my file navigator icon... anyone know why this is?
[18:02] <tinti_> is it possible to select the output interface programatically in a socket?
[18:03] <SonikkuAmerica> fwaokda: are you in the HUD?
[18:03] <fwaokda> whats HUD>
[18:03] <fwaokda> ?
[18:03] <SonikkuAmerica> !hud
[18:03] <SonikkuAmerica> Dang.
[18:03] <fwaokda> ;-/
[18:04] <RafaleM> is HUD the dash or similar?
[18:04] <SonikkuAmerica> The HUD is a new feature in 13.04 that lets you type in a menu command in the dash (accessed by pressing the Alt key inside a window)
[18:04] <sendaljepit> ask all:how to block https using squid2/squid3??
[18:05] <RafaleM> SonikkuAmerica, could you give an example?
[18:05] <fwaokda> SonikkuAmerica, ahh ok that fixed it i just opened the file explorer again and pressed alt thanks!
[18:05] <sixstorm_> hello everyone
[18:05] <eric111> I'm going crazy, I used ununtu's startup disk creator to make a persistent usb drive and it won't save any changes.
[18:05] <SonikkuAmerica> RafaleM: Say you're in Firefox and want to avoid navigating the menu to get to Tools > Options...
[18:07] <SonikkuAmerica> RafaleM: ... so you would open Firefox, hit Alt (the display opens, a single blank text box), type in "tools" and the most common sub-menu stuff in the Tools menu pops up.
[18:07] <RafaleM> SonikkuAmerica, wow, very cool!
[18:07] <RafaleM> SonikkuAmerica, liked it to open the add-ons bar (:
[18:08] <SonikkuAmerica> RafaleM: I don't miss it (using Xubuntu) though
[18:08] <eric111> any ideas on why this thing isn't acting like a persistent drive?

[18:17] <aakreet> how to use backtrack
[18:17] <aakreet> ?
[18:17] <bazhang> aakreet, ask in their channel, its not supported here
[18:17] <aakreet> can u pls tell me which channel

[18:20] <backbox-Yass> Ciao
[18:20] <gehel> hello ! I'm trying to setup LVM + Crypto with preseed, but partitioning fails with "An error occured while creating the keyfile". Where can I find doc, better log files or ideas on how to fix this ?
[18:20] <robertzaccour> How do I capture my sound card with avconv?
[18:21] <catcher> once upon a time, I found a way to set default window sizes for a few different applications, not using ccsm's window tools.  What are some other methods? I'd like to disable mine, but can't locate how I made the change.
[18:22] <gehel> relevant part of my preseed : http://pastebin.com/4wdZSEXt
[18:23] <catcher> ah, probably setting custom geometry
[18:23] <jimmy51_> did NFS change majorly between 12.04 and 13.04?
[18:24] <elisa87> Any thought on this? losetup: /dev/loop5: device is busy
[18:25] <gehel> elisa87, you're running losetup without any option ?
[18:26] <elisa87> gehel when I am running it like losetup -a it shows a list of stuff I don't know how to delete /umount them /dev/loop4: [0025]:3146947 (/research/jalal/9677/gem5/util/x86_new.img)
[18:28] <gehel> elisa87, device busy probably means that a file is opened on this device. you can use "lsof" to find which files are opened
[18:28] <jimmy51_> i've downloaded the netboot installer initrd.gz from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/13.04/.  This thing PXE boots and runs perfectly.
[18:28] <jimmy51_> the stock livecd does not work though.
[18:28] <elisa87> how can I use lsof for just /dev/loop5
[18:28] <gehel> for example, if loop5 is mounted on /mnt, you can do "lsof | grep /mnt"
[18:28] <jimmy51_> looking for anyone who might know what would have broken nfs netbooting the live cd for 13.04
[18:30] <eintw1ck> i cant create a bootable usb
[18:30] <eintw1ck> on my mac
[18:31] <eintw1ck> i tried to follow the instructions
[18:31] <flx1rc1> get a pc
[18:32] <tgm4883> flx1rc1, that isn't helping
[18:32] <elisa87> gehel I don't know where loop5 is mounted! how can I know that? I used mount not much detailed info
[18:32] <eintw1ck> tgm4883: very right
[18:32] <eintw1ck> although i think i did it
[18:33] <elisa87> gehel also lsof  | grep /mnt showed nothing
[18:33] <flx1rc1> tgm4883 its helping a lot imo
[18:33] <SuperLag> melow01: it's good stuff. And while the others (Parallels, VirtualBox, KVM, etc.) *work*... I think VMware is the best one to learn, because their products are installed in soooo many places, compared to the others.
[18:33] <bazhang> flx1rc1, its not
[18:33] <elisa87> gehel can you please look at the last question in http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5881134/cannot-delete-device-dev-loop0/16990555#16990555 I asked it just now ...maybe you know the answer
[18:35] <eintw1ck> flx1rc1: your answer was really not helpful at all
[18:35] <flx1rc1> eintw1ck: no shit dude
[18:35] <bazhang> !language | flx1rc1
[18:35] <tgm4883> alright, he gets it. lets move on
[18:36] <eintw1ck> should the command just hang there?
[18:36] <eintw1ck> its not outputting anything
[18:37] <X-Sleepy-X> eintw1ck: how are you aproaching the creation of a live usb stick?
[18:38] <melow01> SuperLag, good to know
[18:39] <gehel> elisa87: "fuser -cv /dev/loop4" will give you the command as well and not just the PID, which might help you to understand which process is keeping your loop busy
[18:40] <SuperLag> Have the rolling release models been approved? or is it still up in the air?
[18:41] <elisa87> gehel the problem is that it's just a whole bunch of them ... I just don't know what to do
[18:41] <elisa87> gehel http://paste.ubuntu.com/5742716/
[18:45] <gehel> elisa87, I just checked that fuser command here ... it seems it doesnt work as I remembered ...
[18:46] <sambagirl> how come i can't drop and drag anything in ubuntu any longer? this is hardly what i would consider unity!
[18:46] <X-Sleepy-X> How come that when you copy files from an external hard drive the rights of the files won't be the same as if you create the file locally, for example if I create a regular text file it will have 664 but when copied from an external hard drive it will have 644?
[18:46] <sambagirl> how come i can't drop a song into vlc anymore?
[18:47] <sambagirl> how come i can't drop anything on the desktop anymore?
[18:47] <sambagirl> how come i can't  hide or auto hide the top panel anymore? what is the deal?
[18:48] <SharkWoof> sambagirl, is your mouse a X?
[18:48] <sambagirl> shark wolf no
[18:48] <sambagirl> shark woof no
[18:48] <sambagirl> i'm using 13.04 with gnome 3.8
[18:49] <ThinkT510> sambagirl: 3.8 isn't supported
[18:49] <trism> sambagirl: hmm, dragging and dropping an mp3 on the vlc icon in the launcher worked here, so I'm guessing the gnome 3.8 ppa might be the issue
[18:49] <sambagirl> ok
[18:49] <bazhang> sambagirl, contact the PPA maintainer for that
[18:49] <sambagirl> ok
[18:50] <sambagirl> I've used ubuntu since it first came out. i remember them sending me a couple of boxes of cd
[18:50] <sambagirl> for every possible;e system ppc / amd etc
[18:50] <sambagirl> i dunno
[18:50] <sambagirl> ok
[18:50] <sambagirl> thanks
[18:51] <SharkWoof> sambagirl, Shipit i started to use ubuntu 9.10 so i dont know too
[18:51] <OerHeks> sambagirl, shipit has stopped sending free cd's, you can download or buy them @ canonicalstore
[18:51] <sambagirl> i used hoary or warthog or whatever
[18:51] <sambagirl> they sent ,me over 100
[18:51] <sambagirl> i still have some
[18:52] <elisa87> gehel losetup: could not find any free loop device
[18:52] <sambagirl> ok thanks
[18:52] <SharkWoof> sambagirl, lets take this to #ubuntu-offtopic
[18:54] <jwmto> hello.  I am having problems with an upgrade to 13.04.  I think the problem is that compiz does not start with Unity.  Can anyone help?
[18:56] <jwmto> wb tibs
[18:56] <kostkon> jwmto, what do you mean exactly
[18:57] <kostkon> jwmto, nevertheless, you could try resetting them:  http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html
[18:57] <X-Sleepy-X> ¹· 1.
[18:57] <jwmto> Kostkon, when I start up in unity, i just get a hung screen.  If I start to gnome, I get a fallback rather than Gnome 3 and it is clear that compiz is not running.  when I check synaptic, compiz seems properly installed
[18:58] <kostkon> jwmto, then try the link above to reset both
[18:58] <alesan> hi! what SIMPLE program can I use to listen to mp3?
[18:58] <alesan> x11amp is not in the list anymore... why?
[18:59] <bazhang> !players | alesan
[18:59] <kostkon> alesan, how simple? paplay perhaps?
[18:59] <bazhang> alesan, try audacious
[18:59] <X-Sleepy-X> !codecs
[19:00] <alesan> kostkon, well I want one where I can select a dirrectory and plays the files in that dir
[19:00] <bazhang> alesan, check out what I mentioned then
[19:00] <alesan> I do not want to create collections or playlists or see the wikipedia webpage of the band or buy anything
[19:01] <alesan> bazhang, OK, do you know if any of those is QT based?
[19:02] <alesan> audacious requires 16 packages to be installed!
[19:02] <alesan> why things are so bloated?
[19:02] <kostkon> alesan, try listen then, it;s simple enough
[19:02] <Slart> alesan: doesn't mean it's bloated, might just be that it shares some common libraries with other apps =)
[19:03] <bazhang> alesan, you want cli based?
[19:03] <alesan> bazhang, no, a simple GUI is fine :)
[19:03] <bazhang> first time I've heard audacious be called bloated
[19:04] <X-Sleepy-X> haha
[19:04] <sendaljepit> ask all pliss help me: how install wireless tp-link wn350GD??
[19:04] <bazhang> alesan, apt-cache search term then
[19:05] <alesan> bazhang, to use audacious I have to create playlists... I really liked x11amp, it was small and played directly from directories
[19:05] <sendaljepit> please??

[19:14] <Vice> Hello, can someone help me fix Grub ? I'm new to ubuntu and linux in general.
[19:15] <MonkeyDust> !grub
[19:15] <Kai_P_IE> !ask | Vice
[19:15] <Vice> I booted from a LiveCD , type sudu gurb - and get error message that grub is not a commend
[19:15] <MonkeyDust> Vice  grub is a bootloader with a menu
[19:16] <sendaljepit> !wireless
[19:16] <SonikkuAmerica> Vice: What are you trying to do with GRUB?
[19:16] <Vice> i know, I had it intalled and then it died with Error 17
[19:16] <Vice> I want to have dual boot - Win7 and Androidx86
[19:16] <Guest2146> Hi guys, quick question, is it possible to 'pass through' a network connection on my laptop wlan0 to eth0. I have a Router/DHCP server that I connect to via wifi, I need to output a connection from eth0 to another router (dhcp turned off) to act as a switch.
[19:16] <Guest2146> I need to do this in such a way that the laptop and anything connected to the 'switch' is still assigned an IP by the main router.
[19:16] <Guest2146> Is this possible? Just a heads up on a few buzzwords to google would be great! I dont really know what to search
[19:16] <SonikkuAmerica> Vice: /join #android-x86
[19:17] <Kai_P_IE> !spam | Guest2146>
[19:17] <epsilonorion_> for those using java in ubuntu.  Which one do you guys use?
[19:17] <Vice> why does sudu grub not work ?
[19:18] <epsilonorion_> oracle or openjdk
[19:18] <Vice> also, when running boot-repair there is no option to reintall grub (like I see in the doc)
[19:18] <Slart> Guest2146: you should be able to just make iptables do this.. iptables has been around for a long time so there should be plenty of tutorials out there
[19:18] <Kai_P_IE> Vice, GRUB is the boot loader
[19:18] <Kai_P_IE> that you see at start up
[19:19] <Vice> I saw error 17 - so I booted from LiveCV and Run Boot-repair
[19:19] <Vice> now it goes strait to windows
[19:19] <Vice> and I'm trying to bring grub back
[19:20] <minimec> Vice: Do you have a dual- or a triple- boot. Is there an Ubuntu install on the harddrive, to recover grub from?
[19:20] <sude> how to install custubuntu for ubuntu 13.04?
[19:20] <SonikkuAmerica> sude: What's that?
[19:20] <Vice> no, I have a liveCV
[19:21] <Slart> Guest2146: this looks promising https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkConnectionBridge
[19:21] <MonkeyDust> CD, not CV
[19:21] <Vice> I have one partition with Win7, one with Androidx86 and a LiveCV USB drive
[19:21] <Vice> sorry, CD :)
[19:21] <vlaca> hey everyone. anyone else having problems (laptop suddenly turns off) after the last batch of X updates for 13.04?
[19:21] <SonikkuAmerica> !ot | Vice, this is for Ubuntu
[19:21] <MonkeyDust> Vice  is it a cd or an usb device?
[19:21] <SonikkuAmerica> Vice: not Android-x86
[19:21] <sude> install custubuntu?
[19:21] <SonikkuAmerica> sude: [ sudo apt-get install custubuntu
[19:21] <MonkeyDust> !uck
[19:22] <Vice> ok jeez, just imagin there is Ubunto on that other partition and not Android
[19:22] <Vice> it doesnt matter, i'm trying to get Grub back to life
[19:23] <SonikkuAmerica> Vice: Then /join #grub (Android-x86 uses GRUB Legacy, which is EOL)
[19:23] <Guest2146> Thanks for the Info Slart, Ill check that out!
[19:23] <Slart> Guest2146: you're welcome.
[19:23] <Vice> mmkay
[19:24] <Vice> what is EOL ?
[19:24] <yousaf> hi all
[19:24] <minimec> Vice: Well in that case, if you can 'chroot' into Android, you can probably a 'grub-install /dev/sda'. Is grub installed on Android? Follow this... http://askubuntu.com/questions/88384/how-can-i-repair-grub-how-to-get-ubuntu-back-after-installing-windows
[19:24] <yousaf> i have installed ubuntu with virtualbox but i can't access my web server
[19:25] <vlaca> never had any problems with my laptop/ubuntu 13.04, and it started to suddenly misbehave after some X updates.. any ideas? could it be coincidence?
[19:25] <yousaf> the start screen says that it is available at 10.0.2.15 but is not right
[19:26] <melow01> Vice, I believe EOL = End of Line
[19:26] <melow01> Vice, EOF = End of File
[19:26] <Vice> ah, thanks
[19:26] <vlaca> *Life
[19:27] <Slart> yousaf: details? your webserver is installed on the vm or on the host? what kind of networking do you have setup on the host/vm and so on
[19:27] <yousaf> slart on my local machine on VM

[19:40] <superdo> hi
[19:40] <superdo> how to scp a file that has spaces in its name?
[19:40] <Goooner> Hi! Does anyone know a good guide for integrating C++ applications with linux. I mean, calling outside programs correctly, setting verbose mode etc.?
[19:41] <Nisstyre-laptop> superdo: escape them with \ ?
[19:41] <Sazpaimon> superdo, either escape the spaces with backslashes or enclose the filename in quotes
[19:41] <Goooner> supercom32, try enclosing with ", like "This is a dir"
[19:41] <superdo> thx
[19:41] <Goooner> Think I did it like that the other day
[19:42] <Sazpaimon> does anyone know how I can mount an encrypted volume at startup, such that I get asked for my passphrase before I log in?
[19:42] <superdo> hm
[19:42] <SonikkuAmerica> Sazpaimon: Stick it in /etc/fstab ?
[19:43] <Sazpaimon> i was gonna mention, the software I'm using to decrypt the volume uses non-standard mount options
[19:43] <superdo> drops error.. so /folder/"This is the file (12)" should be good?
[19:44] <Sazpaimon> even though it uses fuse, I can't use it like mount -o 'options=whatever', I need to use an external program
[19:44] <SonikkuAmerica> superdo: More like '/folder/This is the file (12)'
[19:44] <superdo> sorry yes my bad was type
[19:44] <superdo> typo
[19:44] <Sazpaimon> for the record, this is the software I'm referring to: https://github.com/Aorimn/dislocker
[19:45] <superdo> SonikkuAmerica, it gives No such file or directory for all words
[19:46] <superdo> it has problems with the opening (
[19:46] <SonikkuAmerica> superdo: Try typing just the first few letters of each directory and use TAB to complete it, then hit / and repeat until you get to the file you want.
[19:46] <superdo> SonikkuAmerica, trust me tried tab but nothing happens, ...
[19:47] <superdo> maybe some spec bash ?
[19:47] <SonikkuAmerica> Possible
[19:47] <Sazpaimon> if I put something that requires user interaction in rc.d will that work?

[19:57] <auronandace> digitalirony: when was the last time you: sudo apt-get update
[19:57] <jacko> Me?
[19:57] <digitalirony> auronandace: just now
[19:57] <digitalirony> thats where that message comes from
[20:01] <jacko> Anuone use Xonar soundcard in Ubuntu?
[20:03] <genii> digitalirony: There seems to be some tactics to use for that issue at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1983220
[20:04] <eric111> have any of you had a problem with a persistent usb thumb drive not saving changes when shut down?
[20:06] <digitalirony> genii: yeah, I just wrote an expect script/loop to do that across all of my machines :/
[20:06] <digitalirony> its taking a while
[20:07] <eric111> I created a persistent usb thumb drive and non of my changes stick after a restart. Any suggestions?
[20:07] <subman_> Can anyone else print a pdf file to a network printer?  Using Document Viewer in Ubuntu 12.04?
[20:07] <genii> eric111: Might want to make a script like:  line1:  #!/bin/bash    line 2: sync                and put it in /etc/rc6.d directory, make it +x
[20:08] <eric111> genii: i'm very new to ubuntu do you have a guide you might recommend? I've googled my brains out on this one.
[20:09] <eric111> If it makes any difference I'm doing this on a mac book
[20:09] <amireldor> My gateway won't answer a ping when setting up wireless through /etc/network/interfaces. Can anyone help?
[20:10] <digitalirony> eric111: the script he just told you probably won't be in a guide, he just came up with that. Also, he told you exactly what to do
[20:10] <digitalirony> and its the same for linux, not just ubuntu
[20:11] <digitalirony> in summary, make a text file, and put two lines in it
[20:11] <digitalirony> chmod it to +x
[20:11] <jimmy51_> any netboot ninja's around?  i can't get 13.04 to netboot over NFS share after trying pretty much anything i can think of.
[20:11] <digitalirony> and put it where he said
[20:11] <digitalirony> jimmy51_: what the errors
[20:11] <eric111> ill try that out. Thank you.
[20:12] <genii> eric111: Just copy and paste everything from here to the end and put it in the terminal:  echo "#!/bin/bash" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc6.d/sync && echo "sync" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc6.d/sync && sudo chmod +x /etc/rc6.d/sync
[20:12] <digitalirony> lolol
[20:12] <digitalirony> ^ do that
[20:14] <digitalirony> eric111: that will only work though if you remember to shutdown the machine
[20:14] <digitalirony> don't just put the power button and turn it off
[20:14] <digitalirony> or unplug it etc
[20:15] <jimmy51_> digitalirony:  following the same process that worked in 11.04, i'm able to PXE boot, grab vmlinuz and initrd from casper folder, and execute it.
[20:15] <jimmy51_> it bombs just after casper-premount and just hangs there
[20:16] <genii> If you use your power button to shut down, then you have to edit the /etc/acpi/powerbtn.sh   file instead
[20:16] <tripelb> hi.is there a simple direct way to make a liveCD from a 12.04 installation with no internet connection?
[20:16] <digitalirony> jimmy51_: can you show me the line it hangs at?
[20:16] <tripelb> I want to know if there a simple direct way to make a liveCD from a 12.04 installation with no internet connection?
[20:16] <digitalirony> genii: I thought the powerbutton push would still init 6 it?
[20:16] <eric111> genii, digitalirony, Im going to try and run that. Thank you.
[20:16] <jimmy51_> my boot hangs after this line:  "mounting root file system ... begin: running /scripts/casper-premount ... done"
[20:16] <Snype> tripelb, ofcourse there is
[20:17] <Snype> use the usb installer
[20:17] <Snype> which is provided with installer
[20:17] <genii> digitalirony: It should, but I haven't really checked that script lately to see
[20:17] <digitalirony> jimmy51_: hrmm, do you have any special kernel flags? Have you tried checking your image to make sure its not corrupt?
[20:18] <digitalirony> jimmy51_: have you attempted to boot using acpi=off?
[20:19] <jonascj> I'm installing Ubuntu Server 12.04 and it's asking me if I want to "Activate Serial ATA Raid devices". I want to setup a software raid, should I say Yes or No?
[20:19] <jimmy51_> digitalirony: i've checksummed the iso... it's good.  tried several combos but this is what used to work:  APPEND root=/dev/nfs boot=casper netboot=nfs nfsroot=172.18.92.32:/export/nfsroot/uburnin initrd=uburnin/casper/initrd.lz splash --
[20:21] <digitalirony> jimmy51_: just for shits and giggle, try acpi=off
[20:22] <eric111> genii, when i ran the command i got !/bin/bash": event not found
[20:22] <jimmy51_> digitalirony : ok
[20:23]  * genii doublechecks the command he gave
[20:23] <eric111> lol
[20:23] <digitalirony> also jimmy51_ have you ever considered using LTSP instead of the way you are doing it now?
[20:23]  * eric111 thanks genii
[20:24] <genii> eric111: I think you typed it in instead of copy/paste because I put a #!/bin/bash     there.
[20:24] <digitalirony> heh
[20:24] <eric111> i did a copy paste
[20:24] <eric111> ill scroll back up any copy it again
[20:24] <eric111> and
[20:24] <genii> eric111: What says result of:   head -n1 /etc/rc6.d/sync
[20:25] <jimmy51_> digitalirony : no go on the acpi... same symptoms.
[20:25] <digitalirony> oh
[20:25] <eric111> head cannot open '/etc/rc6.d/sync' for reading: no such file or directory
[20:25] <digitalirony> heh
[20:25] <digitalirony> eric111: do this
[20:25] <digitalirony> echo '#!/bin/bash' | sudo tee -a /etc/rc6.d/sync && echo "sync" | sudo tee -a /etc/rc6.d/sync && sudo chmod +x  /etc/rc6.d/sync
[20:26] <digitalirony> jimmy51_: hrmm
[20:26] <eric111> sorry my irc windows is on another machine i had to type it
[20:26] <digitalirony> jimmy51_: iunno then, sorry man
[20:26] <tripelb> I have been politely asking this once a day for 3 days.
[20:26] <digitalirony> genii: need single quotes instead of double
[20:26] <tripelb> !ubottu liveCD
[20:26] <digitalirony> otherwise it interprets it wrong
[20:26] <SonikkuAmerica> !live
[20:27] <tripelb> ok I have not googled it. So I'll go do that then come back and TEACH YOU.
[20:27] <genii> digitalirony: Ah, good catch!
[20:27] <eric111> digitalirony, I'm going to try that. Sorry it takes a sec I'm saving the text to a flash drive and then using it on the other machine
[20:27] <digitalirony> genii: I always seem to catch stuff like that, iunno why...lol but I miss the big stuff
[20:28] <SonikkuAmerica> !isitout
[20:28] <genii> eric111: First you need to do:  sudo rm /etc/rc6.d/sync
[20:28] <genii> eric111: Then do the command digitalirony gave
[20:28] <eric111> can't remove no such file or directory
[20:28] <digitalirony> genii: its not being persistent so it won't be there between reboots
[20:28] <digitalirony> heh
[20:29] <digitalirony> ^^
[20:29] <genii> eric111: You have a partition called casper-cow or such?
[20:29] <eric111> im running these commands on the persistent drive should i be doing this on an installed version of ubuntu and editing the files on that flash drive through it?
[20:29] <digitalirony> eric111: no worries, just run what I gave you
[20:29] <digitalirony> eric111: no, do it on the usb drive
[20:30] <digitalirony> im interested to see if this works lol
[20:30] <digitalirony> cause I have tried to persistent usb drive stuff before too
[20:30] <digitalirony> and never got it to work right
[20:30] <eric111> casper-rw if i remember corretly
[20:31] <eric111> digitalirony, when i ran your command i got the no such file or directory
[20:31] <digitalirony> hrmm
[20:31] <digitalirony> eric111: whats the exact error
[20:32] <digitalirony> prolly another bug in the command
[20:32] <eric111> i booted into mac os so i could look at the casper file its casper-rw
[20:32] <eric111> I'm going to boot back into the live instance and ill feed you the error
[20:32] <jimmy51_> !whydoesntnfsbootworkanymore
[20:32] <digitalirony> eric111: do you have the /etc/rc6.d folder even there?
[20:32] <jimmy51_> dang.  worth a shot.
[20:32] <digitalirony> maybe its not using the same rc way
[20:32] <greygan> Guys, I have a file sharing issue that is driving me crazy. I tracked down my main problem to having an over 15 char. computer name. But after fixing that Windows sees my share but cant access it.
[20:33] <digitalirony> anyway, I have to go lunch now
[20:33] <digitalirony> I am sure genii can help lol
[20:33] <eric111> digitalirony, its booting now ill have an answer for you in just a sec
[20:33] <eric111> ok, enjoy your lunch
[20:33] <eric111> digitalirony, thanks for your help
[20:33] <digitalirony> np
[20:33] <genii> eric111: How did you make the USB install in the first place... did you do from here:  https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent     or some different way?
[20:34] <digitalirony> jimmy51_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/Netboot not sure if that will help or not....but maybe just try redoing it all from scatch?
[20:34] <eric111> i tried using the startup disk creator and giving it a 3gig persistence on the slider
[20:34] <eric111> that didn't work so i tried pendrivelinux and selected the persistent option and that isn't working either
[20:34] <greygan> BTW I am in 13.04 with Cinnamon
[20:35] <jimmy51_> digitalirony : i've used the netboot initrd and served it up. worked fine.  the livecd still doesn't serve up though.
[20:35] <eric111> the rc6.d folder is in place
[20:35] <jimmy51_> (my final goal is serving up a customized livecd)
[20:35] <eric111> digitalirony, if you are still there the rc6.d folder exists in /etc
[20:35] <genii> Work, back in a bit

[20:41] <genii> eric111: Any joy with making the sync file yet?
[20:42] <IdleOne> genii: I think what he wants is to make an iso of his installed system
[20:42] <genii> IdleOne: The UCK one referenced is it then
[20:45] <greygan> Any ideas on how I can give my Windows box access to my shared folders. It sees them just gets denied access...
[20:46] <genii> tripelb: There is a different way here too: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MakeALiveCD/DVD/BootableFlashFromHarddiskInstall
[20:47] <eric111> genii, no joy still trying
[20:48] <eric111> genii, this time his script ran without error
[20:49] <eric111> genii, there is not w sync folder in rc6.d I'm going to create a blank text file on the desktop and shutdown to see if it persists
[20:49] <greygan> gonna AFK. Will check in periodically in case I get a response.
[20:49] <eric111> excuse me there is now a sync folder
[20:51] <Whiskey`Wonka> anyone ever compiled their of dsdt?
[20:51] <genii> eric111: It should be a file called sync   in the folder /etc/rc6.d/
[20:52] <genii> eric111: If you do:  cat /etc/rc6.d/sync      ...then it should say:  #!/bin/bash     then on line 2:  sync
[20:52] <eric111> genii, there is no sync file
[20:53] <eric111> genii, when i ran digitalirony's command it was there but after i shut down and restart it reverted back to not being there
[20:54] <eric111> when i run the cat command i get a return of no such file or directory
[20:54] <tripelb> thanks genii I will go to that link
[20:54] <aarobc> Can someone explain the proper way to alt+tab to the desired window? currently it just navigates between window types
[20:55] <tripelb> I also want to know how to do something in 12.04 or terminal. I cannot get a window similar to "my computer". (confession, unity is like walking in muck for me.)
[20:55] <trism> aarobc: alt+` navigates between windows in a single app
[20:55] <jsievert> anyone here got a handle on juju?
[20:56] <trism> aarobc: though if you go slowly once you reach your app, alt+tab will do it too
[20:56] <aarobc> trism: perfect, that's exactly what I needed
[20:56] <jimmy51_> i'd like to recommend this doc gets updated for 13.04 -> https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveCDNetboot
[20:56] <jimmy51_> i would love to update it myself but apparantely i lack the knowledge to get it working
[20:56] <sputnik00001> alt + tab very useful in grphic mode
[20:58] <genii> eric111: Ok. So then:  sudo -i         and then:  nano /etc/rc6.d/sync          then type manually in the lines you need:  #!/bin/bash      then below: sync      then ctrl-x   and put Y to confirm save, then Enter to save it. Then issue:  exit      to leave admin mode
[20:58] <eric111> ok
[20:58] <tripelb> genii that is nothing I can understand or do. And besides that's for gnome not unity. It's hard for me to believe that there is not a simple menu choice to create one or at least an ubuntu1204.iso file.
[20:59] <tripelb> it's like if you are not online, you cannot play with us.
[21:00] <eric111> genii, I have created the file and exited admin mode. Should I shut down and see if the file still exists?
[21:00] <genii> eric111: Not yet
[21:00] <eric111> ok
[21:00] <genii> eric111: First to do:   sudo chmod +x /etc/rc6.d/sync
[21:01] <eric111> i looked in the rc6.d folder the sync file is now there
[21:01] <eric111> the command ran
[21:01] <Guest84765> Hi. How recover the ability to change display brightness on laptop o n Ubuntu 13.04 amd64? (It used to work on 12.04.2)
[21:02] <genii> eric111: OK. So now before computer shuts off, it should issue that command so that whatever data is not written to disk yet happes
[21:03] <eric111> ok shall i power down and see if the sync folder remains?
[21:03] <eric111> or sync file rather
[21:03] <genii> eric111: Maybe test it by booting, changing something that did not take an earlier time, then shutdown, reboot, see if it got saved
[21:04] <eric111> genii, ill try that now
[21:05] <eric111> genii, all changes were lost after shutdown.
[21:06] <eric111> genii, the sync file no longer exists
[21:06] <genii> Hm.
[21:07] <eric111> genii, perhaps I am booting it up wrong? I select EFI boot and then try ubuntu to load up the os
[21:07] <genii> eric111: I know nothing about EFI  :(
[21:08] <eric111> on my mac i can boot either from "windows" or "Efi boot" windows also loads up ubuntu but much slower
[21:10] <genii> eric111: Can you link me to whatever instructions you originally followed ?
[21:11] <eric111> genii, I tried this one http://www.pendrivelinux.com/universal-usb-installer-easy-as-1-2-3/
[21:11] <in0cula> I have an SSD of 24 gb where i put / partition, is trim autoenabled in ubuntu 13.04?
[21:12] <X-Sleepy-X> in0cula: you need ext4 and discard
[21:12] <in0cula> X-Sleepy-X, i set to ext4 and the discard?
[21:13] <mrftfive> hi
[21:13] <jacko> Whats the best way I can test sound in 12.04 when on 13.04 ?  Live CD or Vbox?
[21:14] <X-Sleepy-X> in0cula: this is what i have in /etc/fstab
[21:14] <X-Sleepy-X> in0cula: UUID=45cc6449-c2a1-4320-b1bc-9d57575dce39 /               ext4    defaults,discard,noatime,errors=remount-ro 0       1
[21:14] <mrftfive> hi
[21:14] <X-Sleepy-X> in0cula: make a backup first
[21:14] <in0cula> X-Sleepy-X, thanx , i'll check mine
[21:14] <in0cula> ok
[21:15] <dhci> I have a /boot/grub/menu.lst that was updated with apt-get, specifically putting a 3.2.0-45-generic kernel as the first entry. Unfortunately when I boot my machine (booting to a 500GB drive) it is accessing an older grub install, a 3.2.0-34-generic which I see is listed in /boot/grub/grub.cfg (kind of a scripted autogenerated file.) any idea what I should do here
[21:17] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: perhaps something with /etc/default/grub but i dunno really
[21:17] <dhci> yes that's kind of it, I'm running update-grub now as root (i guess this isn't done automatically anymore?) which should pull in the menu.lst and generate a better grub.cfg
[21:18] <in0cula> X-Sleepy-X, do you know if i have to put noatime? is for?
[21:18] <X-Sleepy-X> in0cula: nah, you only need discard for ssd
[21:19] <in0cula> X-Sleepy-X, thx appreciate
[21:19] <dhci> X-Sleepy-X: it found all the recent kernels and updated menu.lst, but my grub.cfg still looks a bit dated. (older kernel references)
[21:21] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: so you installed a new kernel but it didnt show in the grub at boot?
[21:21] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: and now you got it showing but got alot of old kernels there aswell
[21:21] <X-Sleepy-X> ?
[21:23] <dhci> no I still can't get the 3.2.0-45-generic entry to show at boot time, I have like 5 entries that show up but my menu.lst has like 20+ (that's the one I'm trying to get booted to) not really clear on how this /etc/grub.d template stuff works
[21:24] <genii> eric111: When you are booted into the USB, please pastebin the result of the command:  mount
[21:24] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: which version of ubuntu are you on?
[21:26] <dhci> X-Sleepy-X: 12.04 codename precise
[21:26] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: do you have have linux-headers-generic and linux-image-generic installed?
[21:27] <dhci> X-Sleepy-X: i see there is a uuid entry in the menu.lst that looks correct I just wonder where else I should specify that, it's my /boot partition
[21:27] <dhci> X-Sleepy-X: actually i'm installing those now it seems to be setting it up. maybe that's what I was missing.
[21:27] <dhci> X-Sleepy-X: going to reboot now thx for the help so far.
[21:28] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: are you sure you should be using menu.lst in 12.04?
[21:28] <eric111> genii, I Just figured it out, its not loading casper when i do the efi boot
[21:30] <genii> eric111: Unfortunately I know very little about EFI/UEFI except that it seems to be very painful to deal with
[21:30] <greygan> still no luck. Windows is denied access to shared folders from 13.04. I selected allow others to create etc... and guest access. Any ideas?
[21:30] <timz> be scared
[21:30] <timz> Hello
[21:30] <genii> greygan: Perhaps pastebin your smb.conf for examination
[21:31] <eric111> genii, Its an insanely slow boot but it works now
[21:31] <greygan> k
[21:31] <yo_mama> how do I create a shortcut on the desktop to a folder?
[21:32] <timz> easy
[21:32] <aarobc> it's just a symbolic link right?
[21:32] <adamgolding> I'm going through "The Linux Command Line" and the example "echo [[:upper:]]*" doesn't work
[21:32] <adamgolding> it just prints the literal string
[21:32] <adamgolding> what gives?
[21:33] <jimmy51_> genii: i'm getting loopy here.  just for kicks i plugged all of the NICs in instead of just 1.  the thing network booted just fine.
[21:33] <X-Sleepy-X> in0cula: welcome back
[21:33] <yo_mama> how do I create a shortcut to a folder???
[21:34] <timz> bye
[21:35] <X-Sleepy-X> yo_mama: in the file browser, right-click on selected folder and create shortcut/link. then copy/move it to the desktop
[21:35] <genii> jimmy51_: Sounds like maybe you have stale eth# entries then in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules and it's trying to use something like eth0 when after one got swapped it was eth1  ( or similar situation)
[21:35] <genii> adamgolding: They might know more about that mystery in ##bash  channel
[21:36] <jimmy51_> genii: this is in the livecd, so it's the default whatever that was.  hmmm...
[21:36] <jimmy51_> this is at least a starting point.
[21:36] <adamgolding> genii: good idea :P
[21:36] <greygan> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5743191/
[21:36] <genii> jimmy51_: Ah, can't be that then
[21:37] <in0cula> I would like to be sure to save my privacy, I removed sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping and disable everything from privacy, do you think I'm ok?
[21:40] <dennis_> exit
[21:40] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: are you sure you should be using menu.lst in 12.04?
[21:41] <dhci> X-Sleepy-X: i'm booted into the 3.2.0-45-generic kernel now (latest for me) by just changing the 34-generic to 45-generic at boot time, with the e for edit command. I think my issue is that the 10_linux template is listing out just a portion of the /boot kernels, including 34-generic but not up to the most recents like 45-generic
[21:41] <genii> in0cula: You'll be safe from Amazon at least ;)
[21:42] <dhci> X-Sleepy-X: maybe i don't need menu.lst i just mentioned it because it had a whole list of recent kernels in it automatically
[21:42] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: do you have have linux-headers-generic and linux-image-generic installed, i had a similar problem caused by not having the latter
[21:42] <in0cula> genii, what other things are going on and we don't know?
[21:43] <dhci> X-Sleepy-X: yes linux-image-generic is in there as well as linux-headers-generic. i just wonder if my /etc/grub.d template (10_linux) is listing out -server entries instead of -generics or vice versa?
[21:43] <BadElvis> Hi, I have this dialog: "Sorry, the application ... has closed unexpectedly" It list a lot of debugging information, how can I copy it to a test file? Its arranged in a expandable list and I cannot copy it!!! OMG
[21:43] <BadElvis> *text file
[21:44] <genii> in0cula: No idea.
[21:44] <greygan> genii: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5743191/     in case you missed it, I forgot to address it to u
[21:45] <eric111> genii, when I use the EFi boot option grub comes up with Try ubuntu, but when it loads i get no persistence. is there a way to tell grub to load ubuntu with persistence?
[21:45] <genii> Work, away a bit. Sorry
[21:45] <eric111> the other option in the boot menu is so slow its unusable
[21:46] <elisa87> "pacstrap: command not found" How can I install it?
[21:46] <X-Sleepy-X> dhci: not sure about that. how did you install the kernel?
[21:46] <dhci> ok i think i got it now. grub-mkconfig > grub.cfg to get an updated one.
[21:46] <X-Sleepy-X> :)
[21:47] <zizzu> qualche pagliaccio terrone?
[21:47] <benbloom> I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask for help, but I'm at a loss: I have a TrimSlice running 12.04 and I'd really like to get unrar-nonfree working on it (no release candidate) anyone point me in the right direction?
[21:50] <chachan> hey guys, I'm getting a weird behavior http://dpaste.com/1218077/
[21:51] <chachan> any idea?
[21:52] <chaudhary> Hi, when I turned my system back from sleep suddenly I don't have any window control above any window (precisely alt+space controls not working). Which process controls them and how can I restart it? System: Ubuntu 12.04LTS
[21:53] <chaudhary> restart the process, I don't want to sestart my computer because i'm working on something important.
[21:53] <kostkon> chaudhary, running unity?
[21:53] <chaudhary> kostkon: yes
[21:54] <kostkon> chaudhary, you could go into tty, then restart unity, i.e. press ctrl+alt+f5 then give: unity --replace, then go back with ctrl+alt+f7
[21:54] <kostkon> you may also need to press the fn key of your laptop
[21:55] <chaudhary> kostkon: I hope that will not kill my processes like chrome?
[21:55] <chaudhary> Will it?
[21:55] <greygan> chaudhary: just curious, you havent recently installed a new video driver have you?
[21:56] <kostkon> chaudhary, in theory, no. but nothing can be certain with bits and bytes
[21:56] <chaudhary> greygan: no, It's just that my system has been up for a long long time, can't even remember when I last shut it down :p
[21:57] <chaudhary> kostkon: trying
[21:57] <kostkon> chaudhary, hope for the best outcome
[21:57] <roadkill> chaudhary: Save your tabs.
[21:58] <greygan> chaudhary: OK. just curious as I had an Nvidia driver destroy unity with that same effect (Along with no icons / menu bars)
[21:59] <chaudhary> roadkill: nice idea, thanks :)
[21:59] <chaudhary> kostkon: Awesome it worked, Thanks you
[21:59] <kostkon> chaudhary, nice :)
[22:00] <chaudhary> greygan: yes I've Nvidia card but I don't remember installing any driver for it
[22:00] <chaudhary> kostkon: what is the difference between ctrl+alt+f4 and ctrl+alt+f5 ?
[22:00] <Dr_willis> greygan,  seen that as a way way to common problem.  still havent seen a definitive fix for why it does it.. for some users , resetting their settings (test with making a new user first) fixed it.
[22:01] <Dr_willis> greygan,  also seen it it happen with Intel and ATi video cards and differnt drivers.
[22:01] <kostkon> chaudhary, just another tty, youve got 6 you can use at the same time
[22:01] <greygan> Yeah, I just reloaded Ubuntu... lol
[22:02] <greygan> Dr_willis: any ideas on the file sharing issue I am having?
[22:02] <Dr_willis> greygan,  Ive definatly seen it fixed by just resetting the settings in the users home. :)
[22:02] <chaudhary> kostkon: ah, while we're at it what does tty stand for btw?
[22:03] <kostkon> chaudhary, hmm dont really know for sure to tell you the truth but lets ask ubottu
[22:03] <kostkon> !tty
[22:03] <Dr_willis> greygan,  samba? common issue.. make a share,  make sure samba is installed. give the user a samba password via 'sudo smbpasswd -a username' , try enabling the home shares in /etc/samba.conf, also try  accessing via ip# NOT hostname.. (common issues ive seen here)
[22:03] <Dr_willis> greygan,  if guest shares work.. but other shares dont  -> smbpasswd is needed.
[22:04] <greygan> here is a copy of smb.conf    http://paste.ubuntu.com/5743191/
[22:04] <greygan> Dr_willis I had a naming issue, resolved that now windows sees it but is denied access
[22:04] <kostkon> chaudhary, stands for 'TeleTYpewriter' according to wikipedia
[22:04] <Dr_willis> greygan,  i always use the ip# . never the name.
[22:05] <dijonyummy> i have 12.04, for a couple weeks i notice my laptop overheating very easily, using psensor the cpu often spikes to 95 celcius, seems like the fan is running according to psensor, but i still get overheating, and cant really identify any common program causing it using top and htop
[22:05] <greygan> Dr_willis: I am on internet connection sharing from a windows box... was afraid my IP would change
[22:05] <vadimkolchev> strange, I can find nitro to-do manager in software center, but cannot find it with apt-cache. lol. How can it be so?
[22:06] <chaudhary> kostkon: I was really not in a mood to google, really slow connection right now :( Thanks for doing that, You're awesome :)
[22:06] <dijonyummy> was this due to a bad recent updates? anyone else notice this?
[22:06] <Catbus_> is there any way i can tell what's eating so much power in my laptop? my discrete graphics card used to do this but putting echo OFF > /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch in rc.local fixed it, but now it seems the problem has returned...
[22:06] <kostkon> chaudhary, no probs
[22:06] <kostkon> chaudhary, am i? maybe, maybe not :P
[22:06] <chaudhary> :p
[22:06] <Catbus_> i have cat /sys/kernel/debug/vgaswitcheroo/switch saying 1:DIS: :Off:0000:01:00.0, so is that a guarantee that it's not using power?
[22:06] <Dr_willis> greygan,  i got my router set where the boxs always get the same ip. :) but really for windows getting files from the ubuntu machnes on my lan. i tend to use winscp. unless theres a specail reason i need samba.
[22:07] <dijonyummy> sometimes i see this message... Power management discrepancy
[22:08] <greygan> Dr_willis: no idea what winscp is, I will look into it. But I am hardwired to the Windows box which has a wifi card and internet connection sharing set up. My box doesnt touch the router unfortunately
[22:09] <Dr_willis> greygan,  scp client for windows
[22:09] <greygan> ahh
[22:09] <Dr_willis> for simple transfers.. much easier then fighting with samba
[22:10] <greygan> Dr_willis: the wierd thing is it sees the shared folder but gets a denied access error with no option of UN/PW entry
[22:11] <greygan> And it worked before I reloaded, and the only difference is I added Cinnamon this time... lol
[22:12] <Dr_willis> be sure you set a samba password - via  sudo smbpasswd -a username   perhaps.
[22:12] <Dr_willis> also check the samba logs/auth logs
[22:13] <rdz> hi all. is it possible to configure ubuntu software center not to show any non-free (as in beer) software by default?
[22:13] <Dr_willis> thers the samba-doc package if you want to really dig into samba and shareing.. but it may be a bit dated doc wise.
[22:14] <Dr_willis> you mean 'hide non-gpl software' ?
[22:16] <rdz> Dr_willis, no, i mean "hide software that costs something"
[22:16] <Dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/search?tab=relevance&q=software%20center%20hide
[22:16] <Dr_willis> answer #3  i think.
[22:16] <greygan> Dr_willis: i am looking at Winscp, it looks a lot like an FTP client. I am trying to share video across the network to be viewed from current location as opposed to transferring the data then view. will that work?
[22:17] <dabruce>  /msg NickServ identify 9/hjZ3oX:3px@7
[22:17] <Dr_willis> greygan,  scp/sftp/ftp
[22:17] <dabruce> auto lol
[22:17] <Dr_willis> greygan,  shareing videos = i use DLNA/UPNP these days for that
[22:17] <Dr_willis> greygan,  i rarely need to make a 'video share' via samba
[22:17] <OerHeks> dabruce time to change your password
[22:18] <dabruce> indeed
[22:18] <greygan> Basically just trying to share a drive full of TV shows / movies
[22:18] <dabruce> I'm a looser
[22:18] <rdz> Dr_willis, which question?
[22:18] <OerHeks> dabruce, http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#changepass
[22:19] <rdz> Dr_willis, http://askubuntu.com/questions/85534/how-to-disable-hide-paid-apps-from-ubuntu-software-center does not provide a real answer
[22:19] <rdz> next start of ubuntu software center shows paid apps again
[22:19] <rdz> i have to turn them off every time i launch the usc
[22:19] <Dr_willis> rdz,  not my fault.. could be theres no 'real' answer..    I never use the software center to be honest with you
[22:19] <Catbus_> if anyone's interested, lookslike this is my problem https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/fglrx-installer-updates/+bug/1068404
[22:20] <rdz> Dr_willis, me neiter, to be honest, but i'd like to configure this box in the most friendly way for my sister
[22:20] <Dr_willis> you did look in the linked 'possible duplicate question' rdz ?
[22:20] <dabruce> thx
[22:20] <dabruce> I've seen it
[22:20] <Dr_willis> http://askubuntu.com/questions/47997/how-to-remove-the-for-purchase-section-from-the-software-center  rdz
[22:21] <rdz> Dr_willis, ah. that looks interesting.. many thanks.. (and sorry for not really paying attention)
[22:21] <UltimaKR> Hello I am new to linux and just installed Lubuntu on an old desktop.  After doing some research I found out about WINE, which supposedly will let me use a bunch of my Windows programs.  Is sudo apt-get install wine the right command to use to get it?
[22:21] <Dr_willis> rdz,  yea. i notice people way to often post a 'new' question on askubuntu.com wthout even looking for what others have asked. :) at least you dident do that
[22:21] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  yes.
[22:22] <Dr_willis> !wine | UltimaKR
[22:22] <Dr_willis> !info wine
[22:22] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  dont expect wine to be 'perfect'
[22:24] <UltimaKR> Dr_willis: Ok it is installing now but is it easy to use?
[22:24] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  totally depemnds on what you are running in wine..
[22:24] <UltimaKR> ubottu: I just checked out that link...is the thing they did searching for wine in the software center just the long version of what I did?
[22:24] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  wine  101 tutorial.. download the whatever.exe   from whever..   run it with 'wine /path/to/whatever.exe'
[22:25] <Dr_willis> Package manager gui tools uses same apt cli tools in the background
[22:25] <Ben64> UltimaKR: you should look for programs on linux to do what you want first before running stuff in wine
[22:25] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  app i commonly use in wine.. since im so used to it in windows.. -->       http://www.bulkrenameutility.co.uk/Main_Intro.php
[22:26] <Ari-Yang> I installed WINE to use foobar2000.... didn't work out so I purged it >:I I now use mpd :3
[22:27] <UltimaKR> Ben64: A lot of it is games that are Windows/Mac only.
[22:27] <digitalirony> so, lets say I have a couple servers with mostly the same hardware. and I want to present them both as a single linux VM
[22:27] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  example..i download that to my 'Downloads' directory.. open terminal -->     wine /home/billgates/Downloads/BRU_Setup_WinNTx86.exe      that installs it and gives me an icon
[22:27] <digitalirony> any one know what would be the best way to do this
[22:27] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  with a GAME  - check the wine app database to see how well it works in wine
[22:27] <Dr_willis> !appdb | UltimaKR
[22:27] <Ben64> UltimaKR: then you should check the appdb for compatibility and instructions
[22:27] <Ben64> bah, one handed typing is slow
[22:29] <tyrese> hello
[22:29] <Dr_willis> keep both hands on the keyboard... :)
[22:29] <tyrese> anybody need remote repair??? i can help
[22:30] <digitalirony> lol
[22:30] <UltimaKR> Dr_willis: So right now the computer is getting Wine and I will be back in a few once I start the setup.
[22:30] <digitalirony> you are asking for people to give you remote access to their computers?
[22:30] <digitalirony> tyrese:
[22:30] <digitalirony> lol
[22:30] <tyrese> What
[22:30] <digitalirony> please, if you are new....don't give strangers access to your computer....no matter how much help you need. this is stupid to do
[22:31] <UltimaKR> tyrese: Even I know better than that...
[22:31] <Dr_willis> 'remote access' tech support from unknown people.. is like asking a random bum on the street to access your atm...
[22:31] <digitalirony> lol
[22:31] <UltimaKR> Very nice metaphor there lol
[22:31]  * Dr_willis couldent come up with a better analogy..
[22:32] <digitalirony> and if you don't know enough, to not ask people that, then tyrese im sorry, but you probably won't be much help
[22:32] <compdoc> who owns their own atm? you rich ppl - sheese!
[22:32] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  so what game are you wanting to use in wine?
[22:33] <UltimaKR> Dr_willis: Pretty much the same stuff my other computer has...mainly single player stuff like Civilization IV, Starcraft, things like that.
[22:33] <greygan> Dr_willis: when trying to assign a password via sudo smbpasswd it gives me "failed to add entry for user '...'. Do I need to add the windows box a user name in Ubuntu?
[22:34] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  many games simply will not work properly in wine.
[22:34] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  look up the specific game in the wine app database given above
[22:34] <UltimaKR> Dr_willis: According to the database Starcraft has a platinum and Civ IV has a gold
[22:34] <rdz> Dr_willis, yo.. it worked. thanks
[22:34] <Dr_willis> greygan,  the linux user has a samba password.. nothing to do with the windows user name at all.. its whats used when the windows box accesses the linux box AS that linux user.
[22:34] <digitalirony> so, lets say I have two hardware nodes with the same hardware. I want to cluster them and present them as a single VM, with shared resources. Is there a good way to do this?
[22:35] <Dr_willis> UltimaKR,  and ive definatly seen a patch/update for a game come out and totally breakit in wine. ;)  so  try it and see
[22:35] <Dr_willis> greygan,  i always use the same user name on windows and linux on my home lan.
[22:35] <digitalirony> if wine doesn't work you can always try playonlinux for games
[22:36] <Dr_willis> Playonlinux = a tricked out front end/wine fork (i guess thats about as detailed as we need to get) :) with focus on games..
[22:36] <Dr_willis> but i never use it.
[22:36] <Ben64> i think it died
[22:36] <greygan> Dr_willis: So I need to create MY account a password in samba... or do I create a new user with the windows box's user name (My wife's box)
[22:36] <Dr_willis> greygan,  try bth ways. the samba password is for accessing the LINUX box's shares.
[22:37] <greygan> k thx will try both
[22:37] <Dr_willis> connect from windows.. enter the users name and the sambapassword.. NOT their login password.
[22:37] <Dr_willis> unless you make the 2 passwords the same. ;P
[22:37] <Dr_willis> which is what i normally do anyway.
[22:37] <Dr_willis> bbl./  Work time for me.
[22:39] <UltimaKR> Dr_willis: Thanks...it looks like the installation of Wine itself worked so now I guess it's just a matter of trial and error until I find versions of each program that work successfully.
[22:39] <James_Epp> My installation of ubuntu 12.04.2 amd64 has been crashing a LOT lately. Most times it is when I am watching a youtube video (chromium, have not tried other browsers), but can also happen with just listening to music in VLC. Can someone help me track down the problem? I have NOT changed the hardware at all recently.
[22:40] <tyrese> Anyone Need Help
[22:41] <James_Epp> tyrese: :)
[22:43] <jonascj> LVM on a software raid1. (please note I'm just playing around and hence just need some help playing around). I need an seperate partition for /boot (since boot mgr can not handle lvm). Do I need to make to partitions on each of my discs before "Configure software RAID" ?
[22:43] <Martijn-NL> Hi everyone - i want to convert a big video (2 minutes, 280MB) to a very small video (15mb) using avconv. Can anyone tell me how i can do that?
[22:44] <aldariz> does anyone know if smuxi irc client supports file transfers?
[22:44] <Physmart> Greetings. Ubuntu 12.04 can support Unity Smart Scopes of the 13.04?
[22:45] <James_Epp> Martijn-NL: I have never used the program, but I am assuming this is a command line tool? Regardless, open a terminal and do 'man avconv' and see if it has information there.
[22:45] <Martijn-NL> James_Epp: Yes, that's right. I can't find the right command. Can you help me?
[22:46] <Physmart> Greetings. Ubuntu 12.04 can support Unity Smart Scopes of the 13.04?
[22:46] <James_Epp> Martijn-NL: Take a look at this? http://goo.gl/vdyO0
[22:47] <kostkon> Physmart, no. now, if it is possible and someone in the future ports the new dash from 13.10 to 12.04 and sets up a ppa for it, then yes, but im just speculating
[22:48] <Physmart> kostkon: I thing it'll be a interesting thing. i'd like to try it.
[22:49] <Physmart> *think
[22:49] <kostkon> Physmart, just wait and see or just upgrade to 13.10 when it comes out
[22:50] <Physmart> kostkon: I'm using Ubuntu 12.04. I wouldn't like to upgrade my system to a newest version. Its better if I make a clean installation. I do not want right now..
[22:51] <kostkon> Physmart, yeah, i understand
[22:51] <Antuan_15d> hello
[22:51] <Antuan_15d> hola
[22:52] <Physmart> kostkon: Thank you. Night.
[22:52] <kostkon> Physmart, gnight
[22:52] <Antuan_15d> Fuckin xD
[23:04] <raven_> how to split network traffic: upstream to mobile, downstream from cable?
[23:07] <R44TW4NGNULL> hi guyz
[23:08] <R44TW4NGNULL> good mornig
[23:09] <osirisx11> hi all, could someone please help me debug why i can't run skype? it looks like it can't find the 32 bit version of libGL http://paste.ubuntu.com/5743426/
[23:12] <osirisx11> i just installed libgl1-mesa-dev with no change
[23:12] <kostkon> osirisx11, why are you trying to use the dynamically linked version and not the multiarch deb
[23:12] <osirisx11> kostkon: i get the same result in the multiarch deb
[23:12] <osirisx11> i will try it again
[23:13] <kostkon> osirisx11, also clearn your package cache first,  sudo apt-get clean
[23:14] <MonkeyDust> osirisx11  try ubuntu-tweak
[23:15] <kostkon> osirisx11, skype is also in the partner repo, try that version too
[23:25] <guest-JNoqlv> bbb
[23:25] <guest-JNoqlv> ggg
[23:27] <osirisx11> ubuntu tweak does not contain skype.
[23:28] <osirisx11> oh it is under instant message
[23:28] <osirisx11> W:Failed to fetch http://download.skype.com/linux/repos/debian/dists/stable/non-free/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found [IP: 63.216.54.35 80]

[23:31] <osirisx11> how do i restore my default sources.list?
[23:33] <osirisx11> kostkon: there are no partner repos for 13
[23:35] <jonascj> ubuntu server asking to put GRUB on first harddisk when I have a software raid1 setup - does it mean md0 of md0 and md1? I've specified /boot to be mounted on md0
[23:37] <GregTheHun> Hello Guys
[23:39] <Jordan_U> jonascj: It's asking about where to put grub's boot sector, not grub's files (which will always go in /boot/grub/).
[23:40] <jonascj> Jordan_U: Is that why 512 bytes are set aside on each harddisk with raid devices on them? To be able to harbor boot sectors?
[23:40] <Jordan_U> jonascj: Since the boot sector needs to be loaded by your BIOS, and your BIOS doesn't understand mdraid, the boot sector needs to be installed to the MBR of one (or more) of your physical drives.
[23:41] <SkyCraft> Hey guys I need some help if at all possible. I'm trying to put a forum.php into a forum.html. I don't really know how to explain it but if someone could please Query me and remote desktop me I can show you easy.
[23:42] <Jordan_U> jonascj: It's why your arrays should be made up of member partitions, rather than using whole drives without partition tables. Then grub can safely use the normal MBR and embedding areas.
[23:42] <davekong> I have a recent 27'' imac that I just installed Ubuntu 64-bit 13.04 on and the wired (and wireless) connection is not working, anyone have any ideas on how to fix this?
[23:43] <Jordan_U> davekong: Can you pastebin the output of "lspci"? Have you checked the Additional Drivers tool in Software Center?
[23:43] <ntzrmtthihu777> is there a way to tell if the network you are connected to is 11A, B, G, or N?
[23:46] <osirisx11> does anyone know how i can get skype to find my libgl.so or how to install the right version? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5743505/
[23:46] <jonascj> Jordan_U: ah okay - so when you agree to have a partition table written to the disk there is made room for stuff like the mbr? So these 512Byte partition Ubuntu's installer made for me when I asked for large md are not mean for mbr?
[23:49] <elisa87> how can I fix this? dpkg: error: file triggers record mentions illegal package name `libglib2.0-0' (for interest in file `/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/gio/modules'): ambiguous package name 'libglib2.0-0' with more than one installed instance
[23:52] <histo> ntzrmtthihu777: the rate in iwconfig
[23:53] <histo> osirisx11: how did you install skype?
[23:54] <davekong> Jordan_U: It is hard for me to pastebin or download more drivers without a working connection, but I found the Ethernet device is BCM57766
[23:54] <osirisx11> histo:  skype-ubuntu-precise_4.2.0.11-1_i386.deb from skype.com
[23:54] <osirisx11> installed using software center
[23:54] <histo> davekong: what chipset is the wireless?  lspci | grep Network
[23:55] <histo> osirisx11: Using the partner repo?
[23:55] <davekong> Broadcom BCM4331
[23:55] <osirisx11> histo: where is the partner repo from 13?
[23:55] <histo> !partner | osirisx11
[23:55] <osirisx11> for 143 i mean
[23:55] <histo> !skype | osirisx11
[23:55] <ntzrmtthihu777> histo: ahh, thankya. but on another note, the way this ap is configured is they have a repeater set up connected to an ethernet port on the main ap. would iwconfig show the main ap or the repeater's rate?
[23:56] <histo> davekong: just tell us the BCM#### part of the command I gave you
[23:56] <davekong> histo: 4331
[23:56] <histo> ntzrmtthihu777: It would show whatever network you are connected to at the moment
[23:57] <histo> !broadcom | davekong
[23:57] <davekong> histo: thanks
[23:57] <ntzrmtthihu777> histo: ah, gotcha. I've got abg, thankya.
[23:57] <osirisx11> histo: installed skype from partner repo, same error about libGL.so being wrong version
[23:58] <osirisx11> i don't think it is related to the skype packaging.
[23:58] <histo> davekong: I believe you need the b43 driver
[23:58] <osirisx11> skype: error while loading shared libraries: libGL.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64
[23:58] <histo> !offline > davekong
[23:59] <osirisx11> it was working before i tried to install nvidia binary
[23:59] <histo> osirisx11: You need multiarch support afaik
[23:59] <ntzrmtthihu777> osirisx11: purge skype and re-install
[23:59] <osirisx11> histo: could you be more specific please? the download on skype is labeled multiarch
