|---|---|---|
| Jordan_U | jonascj: Ubuntu never creates "512 byte" partitions, but I guess you're talking about the installer creating an ~ 1 MiB BIOS Boot Partition since you're using a large disk which requires GPT. That BIOS Boot Partition is the embedding area, where grub's core.img is stored. | 00:00 |
| histo | osirisx11: the skype page ubottu sent to you explains it | 00:00 |
| osirisx11 | histo: i ran add-arch and it didn't change anything | 00:02 |
| osirisx11 | and i have installed from the partner repo | 00:02 |
| histo | osirisx11: I believe you will ned ia32-libs | 00:02 |
| osirisx11 | histo: i have installed and reinstalled that many times | 00:03 |
| histo | osirisx11: sudo apt-get purge skype && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype | 00:03 |
| histo | osirisx11: btw does skype work without this library? | 00:03 |
| osirisx11 | histo: sorry? | 00:03 |
| histo | osirisx11: Is skype currently working? | 00:04 |
| osirisx11 | no | 00:04 |
| osirisx11 | fatal error | 00:04 |
| jonascj | Jordan_U: I'm just pretty sure that during install (fooling around with LVM on raid1) LVM reported something 512 something (bytes, kb, mb) which was unusable to create a volume group on. I'll closer if I redo the setup at some point. | 00:04 |
| osirisx11 | i ran sudo apt-get purge skype && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype - no change | 00:04 |
| osirisx11 | it is related to libgl and not skype | 00:04 |
| veryhappy | hey guys, something really has to be messed up in my system cause since a few days my network manager is not running automatically anymore. every time i start up the system the network manager panel says "network-manager not working - please start it" | 00:05 |
| veryhappy | how can i get it to run automatically again? | 00:05 |
| elisa87 | I don't know how to fix this: /usr/sbin/dpkg-reconfigure: locales is broken or not fully installed | 00:07 |
| veryhappy | elisa87: your system seems to have a problem with the locales on your system, perhaps it should be regenerated. | 00:08 |
| elisa87 | veryhappy: What should be regenerated and how? | 00:09 |
| g_byers | Correct me if i'm wrong, but you can't dual-boot with uefi? | 00:09 |
| veryhappy | elisa87: pardon my mistake, locales always should be installed. but it depends on what you did before that the locales perhaps were removed. | 00:11 |
| elisa87 | veryhappy: http://pastebin.com/BDiA1HzN | 00:13 |
| veryhappy | elisa87: look, it always tells you where the error appears: dependency problems prevent configuration of locales, you always have to look also in the previous lines, the lines down below are most times just consequential errors | 00:16 |

| th0r | Fenb: sudoers.tmp? I think maybe you are doing it wrong | 00:37 |

| Fenb | MonkeyDust: What? | 00:40 |
| Fenb | MonkeyDust: Do you know which wheel or under root? | 00:41 |
| heikoo | why is installing grub2 to a partition instead of the mbr "a BAD idea"? | 00:42 |
| Fenb | heikoo: efistub is recommended | 00:42 |
| MonkeyDust | Fenb not sure what you mean by "wheel" and "under root" | 00:42 |
| === salisbury is now known as salisburyshake | ||
| th0r | Fenb: you are misunderstanding the construct of the file. Wheel is a group, and root is a user, if I remember correctly | 00:43 |
| th0r | Fenb: and both are in the file as examples, I believe | 00:44 |
| Jordan_U | Fenb: efistub has nothing to do with installing grub's boot sector to a partition ([U]EFI doesn't even have boot sectors). | 00:44 |
| Fenb | Jordan_U: i thought he/she wast installing bootloader for uefi :) | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | heikoo: Because extN doesn't have a space reserved for an embedding area, so when installing grub's boot sector to a partition blocklists need to be used that are pointing to blocks on an active fileystem, and that is unreliable (and insecure). Also, the MBR is what your BIOS loads, so that is where the bootloader should be. | 00:45 |
| Fenb | Jordan_U: sorry notice now. | 00:45 |
| Jordan_U | heikoo: BTW, what I just said is equally true for any BIOS based bootloader, not just grub. | 00:46 |
| Fenb | th0r: i dont know wheather i should use wheel or just put in under where root is placed? :S | 00:46 |

| === pixlepix_ is now known as pixlepix | ||
| pixlepix | Any replies? | 00:58 |
| Jordan_U | pixlepix: Don't use the bootcamp utility. It will create a "hybrid" MBR, which is ugly and not needed for GNU/Linux (only for Windows on Apple hardware). It's probably possible to install Ubuntu without any external media, but I doubt it's worth the effort it would require. Why can't you grab a blank DVD or a cheap flash drive? | 00:58 |
| Guest50977 | Package wine1.4 is not available, but is referred to by another package. | 00:58 |
| Guest50977 | This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or | 00:58 |
| Guest50977 | is only available from another source | 00:58 |
| Ari-Yang | Guest50977, you have to add the PPA | 00:58 |
| Guest50977 | i added the wineteam ppz | 00:59 |
| Guest50977 | ppa | 00:59 |
| Ari-Yang | why do you want wine anyway? what windows program are you using? | 00:59 |
| Guest50977 | what is the correct ppa | 00:59 |
| Guest50977 | i want to play madden and nba on my computer | 00:59 |
| Guest50977 | i am using a chromebook i put ubuntu on it | 00:59 |
| Ari-Yang | Guest50977, ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa that ppa | 00:59 |
| Ari-Yang | then sudo apt-get install wine1.4 | 00:59 |

| Ari-Yang | ...yes | 01:00 |
| Ari-Yang | MonkeyDust, does it matter? | 01:00 |
| Guest50977 | i started off with xfce4 then i downloaded ubuntu 12.04 | 01:00 |
| Ari-Yang | wine will install the appropriate version. | 01:01 |
| MonkeyDust | Ari-Yang why is wine not in his repos? | 01:01 |
| Ari-Yang | MonkeyDust, he has to /add/ the PPA | 01:01 |
| Guest50977 | what ppa should I put | 01:01 |
| Guest50977 | i tried a bunch of ppa | 01:01 |

| Ari-Yang | no | 01:01 |
| Jordan_U | pixlepix: Ahh, I thought you meant that you wanted to install Ubuntu without using external media, not that you just wanted to install Ubuntu in a normal dual boot configuration. | 01:01 |
| Ari-Yang | not 1.5 | 01:01 |
| Ari-Yang | 1.5 is beta | 01:01 |
| Ari-Yang | go for 1.4 | 01:01 |
| FloodBot1 | Ari-Yang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:01 |

| kostkon | Ari-Yang, 1.5 will become stable 1.6 soon | 01:02 |
| kostkon | Ari-Yang, so it's ok | 01:02 |

| Jordan_U | pixlepix: Correct. | 01:03 |
| Ari-Yang | Guest50977, I say remove all of those PPAs of WINE you added. then add the one I gave you, proceed with apt-get update, then apt-get install wine1.5 | 01:03 |

| Ari-Yang | google it, it will give you the command, Guest50977. or go to software sources and remove it from there | 01:04 |
| Ari-Yang | no it's not, Guest50977 | 01:04 |
| elisa87 | Is there any way for solving this problem? The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6 : Breaks: locales (< 2.17) | 01:04 |
| Guest50977 | im using the terminal | 01:04 |
| Ari-Yang | Guest50977, then just google the command | 01:05 |
| Guest50977 | so go to the software center and remove my ppa's for wine? | 01:05 |
| Ari-Yang | you'll find it easily... "how to remove ppa via terminal ubuntu" | 01:05 |
| Jordan_U | elisa87: Were you installing packages from a ppa or otherwise not using the standard repositories? | 01:06 |
| Guest50977 | i tried a bunch of different repositories! hoping one would work | 01:06 |
| Guest50977 | sudo apt-add-repository --remove ppa:kernel-ppa/ppa | 01:07 |
| elisa87 | Jordan_U: once I added this line to my sources.list because of installing some deb packages: deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian sid main | 01:07 |
| pixlepix | Just to confirm: The USB install wouldn't harm files already on the usb drive? | 01:07 |
| Guest50977 | i tried that | 01:07 |
| elisa87 | Guest50977: are you talking with me? | 01:07 |
| Guest50977 | im talking to whoever was helping me | 01:07 |
| Jordan_U | elisa87: You should never do that. Ubuntu is not debian and you cannot use Debian's repositories with it. You will likely need to re-install Ubuntu to fix this. | 01:08 |

| elisa87 | Jordan_U: can I re-install Ubuntu without touching the simulators I have installed? | 01:09 |
| Guest50977 | so what do i use for arm | 01:09 |
| kostkon | Guest50977, i googled and couldn't find any ppa having wine packages for arm | 01:09 |
| PoolShark_1 | I think Ubuntu has an option for preserving a partition and installing on top | 01:09 |

| th0r | snkmad: if at some point you need to revert to the older kernel you just need to change a few links. There are some good guides on how to do that if you run into that | 01:57 |

| snkmad | hum looks like now i need the kernel headers to use vmware workstation | 01:58 |

| chenx97 | once up on a time i couldnt login to any desktop environment(i have 3) on my own pc and guest account didnt work either. it was Ubuntu 12.10 and then i started to use another distro. my dad's Ubuntu 12.04 has no such problem at all. | 02:02 |
| inflex | anyone know how to force linux to always mount a specific ata port to a specific mount point, ie ata5 -> /media/foo (it's an eSATA hotswap device) | 02:02 |
| chenx97 | inflex, i will edit /etc/fstab | 02:04 |
| inflex | chenx97: the trouble is that you don't know what the drive on ata5 will get mapped to in terms of /dev/sdX | 02:05 |
| inflex | chenx97: and the UUID will be different when the drives are swapped | 02:05 |
| chenx97 | oh... | 02:05 |
| === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| inflex | chenx97: actually, I think I found a way... I'll hard-code the UUID of the drive | 02:07 |
| chenx97 | sounds okay | 02:08 |

| === gary is now known as Guest43791 | ||
| chenx97 | sorry but i havent ever met a machine like that | 02:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | webnet: Check to see if the fan is properly connected, then check your BIOS. | 02:17 |
| msdaisy | webnet: have you successfully booted from a live cd? | 02:17 |
| Shinobi | where is the pulse audio volume? | 02:17 |
| terretz | sweet! am now running a plex server! | 02:17 |
| terretz | woo! | 02:17 |
| chenx97 | congratulations | 02:17 |
| terretz | :D | 02:18 |
| webnet | SonikkuAmerica: have and reseated the fan connecter several times. even tried switching with multiple fans etc. msdaisy no | 02:18 |
| terretz | just installed the app on my TV | 02:18 |
| terretz | so much better than running a dlna server | 02:18 |
| atrius` | did they ever come out with a Plex client for Linux? | 02:18 |
| terretz | they did | 02:18 |
| msdaisy | webnet: you're probably getting the error because your hardware isn't supported out of the box. google "ubuntu supported hardware" and go from there. | 02:19 |
| terretz | http://www.plexapp.com/getplex/ | 02:19 |
| atrius` | interesting | 02:19 |
| atrius` | thanks | 02:19 |
| terretz | they have one specifically for ubuntu | 02:19 |
| webnet | msdaisy: it booted fine and installed server edition and have been using it for a while. it just recently started having this issue. | 02:20 |
| msdaisy | webnet: hmm. perhaps a recent update broke a driver. | 02:21 |
| Guest43791 | ms daisy is the shit | 02:21 |
| atrius` | terretz: how does plex compared to XBMC? | 02:21 |
| webnet | msdaisy: no updates have been installed. | 02:21 |
| webnet | i think its a motherboard issue of it not detecting the fan | 02:21 |
| webnet | thats why im wondering if there is a way to bypass the hardware checks so it can boot | 02:21 |
| msdaisy | webnet: if it's only happening in ubuntu then its a driver. | 02:22 |
| th0r | webnet: I think there is a noacpi or noapm that you can add to the grub line....but it has been a long time since I messed with it | 02:23 |
| inflex | chenx97: only downside of the UUID hard coding is that I can't tell explicitly from the system which edition of the drive is in there, but I suppose I can just write a small ID file on the filesystem itself | 02:23 |
| terretz | atrius`, I've never run XBMC | 02:23 |
| inflex | chenx97: ( this is all for a rotating backup ) | 02:23 |
| atrius` | ah, okay | 02:23 |
| webnet | msdaisy: it doesnt boot anything from live even windoze installer | 02:23 |
| terretz | atrius`, so I can't really compare the two | 02:23 |
| terretz | atrius`, I only knew about dlna until 5 hours ago | 02:24 |
| webnet | th0r: any idea what i can add where? | 02:24 |
| inflex | chenx97: oooof, just realised, I'll put multiple entries in /etc/fstab, for each drive, but all mount to the same point... that'll work so long as I don't put more than one in ;) | 02:24 |
| webnet | lol ill google it but if you can remember anything specific i would love to give it a shot | 02:24 |
| terretz | might actually be time for a dyndns account | 02:25 |
| th0r | webnet: been a long time....I think if you hold the shift while booting you will drop to a grub line where you can just type 'noacpi' or 'noapm'...I would suspect the former is the right one....but not usre | 02:25 |
| th0r | s/usre/sure | 02:25 |

| SonikkuAmerica | How did you install it? | 02:43 |
| drmaster | SonikkuAmerica, simple, burned on a dvd disc and installed through startup mode | 02:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drmaster: No, the driver! :) | 02:45 |
| drmaster | SonikkuAmerica, oh lolL) i dont have any driver installed, ive been told i dont need one, but im sure i need to install gpu driver or do smth about it, cuz my system doesnt work smooth n im sure this is gpu driver matter since i got ati radeon gpu( | 02:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drmaster: See if you can get something called "fglrx" | 02:46 |
| drmaster | SonikkuAmerica, should i try search it in software center or in repos? im srry im rookie to linux, in fact i have it for an hour already) | 02:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drmaster: Start in Additional Drivers (inside Software Sources or Software and Updates) | 02:48 |
| drmaster | SonikkuAmerica, i did go over there in additional drivers n it says "no proprietary drivers are in use" | 02:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | OK. Check using Synaptic Package Manager then (unless you're using Kubuntu, in which you should use Muon instead) | 02:49 |
| lernr | Hey everyone - I need gwibber 3.4.2 to sync with my facebook account. I can add the account, but after authorizing it gives a message saying Success - and doesn't have the account in account lists... How do I fix..? | 02:49 |
| SonikkuAmerica | drmaster: If you're using Unity, run [ sudo apt-get install synaptic ] in a !terminal first. | 02:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | lernr: 12.04? | 02:50 |

| jimmy51_ | at least i think that was the problem. did you happen to update your initramfs before that problem happened? | 03:05 |
| FoShizz | i only know the basic terminal commands because i used teminal on my ipod | 03:05 |
| jimmy51_ | FoShizz: well, did your login work before? and if so, what did you do in the time between it working and not? | 03:05 |
| FoShizz | no jimmy i was trying to get x11vnc to work. | 03:05 |
| FoShizz | i was able to fix it so now im good | 03:05 |

| jimmy51_ | apt-get install whatever | 03:12 |
| jimman | @FoShizz right | 03:13 |
| jimmy51_ | FoShizz: use apt-cache search to find the proper package name | 03:13 |
| FoShizz | ok | 03:13 |
| FoShizz | so first i do apt-cache, then follow up with apt-get | 03:13 |
| drmaster | SonikkuAmerica, i actually do, and i did put the disc in tray before hitting enter, i though it asks for the disc, but seems like its not:( i do have installation of this ubuntu on a disc | 03:13 |
| qin | FoShizz: choose server, by testing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNC/Servers and get client for window, also putty will give you ssh, so full control over system | 03:13 |
| cheetos | can ubuntu read/write to a ntfs partition? | 03:13 |
| qin | cheetos: y | 03:13 |
| jimmy51_ | FoShizz: if you already know the exact package name, you can just install it with apt-get install packagename. i can never remember exactly what anything is, so i search first to make sure. | 03:14 |
| cheetos | qin im partitioning a second drive, i want to use it when i dual boot to windows/ubuntu...nfls the best choice? | 03:14 |
| jimman | @FoShizz if you are sure about the package name, then apt-cache may be redundant.. | 03:14 |

| drmaster | jimmy51_, pls would u tell me how to check if i have my gpu driver installed properly? | 03:24 |
| inflex | zykotick9: would think that labels or uuid's would be much the same? | 03:28 |
| inflex | zykotick9: anyhow, I'm just going with the multple fstab entries to the same mount-point | 03:28 |
| Pinkamena_D | Unar will not install, gives "Package dependencies cannot be resolved". What should I be doing to fix this? | 03:29 |
| jimmy51_ | drmaster: i think you use glxinfo to see | 03:30 |
| FoShizz | jimmy51_ thank you so much! i did it! yay! | 03:32 |
| inflex | zykotick9: I suppose the upside of the LABEL method is that I'm not restricted to hex | 03:32 |
| jimmy51_ | FoShizz : great! | 03:32 |
| jimmy51_ | drmaster: http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/glxinfo/ glxinfo can be used to show what driver you're using for graphics | 03:32 |
| jimmy51_ | oh... he left | 03:32 |
| jimmy51_ | i should probably call it a night too. FoShizz: good job, keep it up! | 03:33 |
| jimmy51_ | there are people in here all the time that are very helpful and very smart | 03:33 |

| DrFoo | can anyone help get sound going in 12.04. | 03:36 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, It's likely that someone can help, yes. | 03:37 |
| DrFoo | are you volunteering? | 03:37 |
| DrFoo | :) | 03:37 |
| Seven_Six_Two | possibly. It depends on how much information you're planning on volunteering. ;) | 03:38 |
| pawan | hi | 03:38 |
| DrFoo | Well. I'm running 12.04 in a VM. I've got it working before, but it keeps reverting to a non-working configuaration. | 03:39 |
| DrFoo | And I don't remember what I did to get it working. | 03:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | what host? | 03:39 |
| DrFoo | xp | 03:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | virtualbox? vmware? | 03:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | kvm? | 03:40 |
| pawan | device not managed | 03:40 |
| DrFoo | I was just working an hour ago and thought I had beat it, but then I discovered it kills the sound agian on reboot. | 03:40 |
| DrFoo | vbox | 03:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | did you install, or are you running it from an iso? | 03:40 |
| DrFoo | alsamixer is all the way down and muted every reboot. | 03:40 |
| DrFoo | it's installed | 03:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | did you detach the iso after install? | 03:41 |
| DrFoo | I ran a speaker test from the command line and at one point it ran through.. but now it gets stuck... | 03:41 |
| DrFoo | no | 03:41 |
| DrFoo | still attached | 03:41 |
| Seven_Six_Two | so you boot from the live cd instead of the install | 03:41 |
| DrFoo | meaning the vbox additions iso | 03:41 |
| DrFoo | no, this install of 12.04 has been in the VM for quite some time. | 03:42 |
| histo | DrFoo: adjust your levels and sudo alsactl store | 03:42 |
| DrFoo | I just wanted to get the sound working | 03:42 |
| Seven_Six_Two | no no, attaching meaning the iso is "in the cd drive" to vbox | 03:42 |
| DrFoo | the only iso in the drive for the vm is the guest additions. | 03:43 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, ok. I thought you meant the install media was there. | 03:43 |
| DrFoo | ok ran that | 03:43 |
| DrFoo | sudo speaker-test -c6 -l1 -twav gets stuck on front left | 03:44 |
| DrFoo | back when sound was working this speaker test ran right through | 03:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, have you installed anything like Jack or esd? | 03:45 |
| DrFoo | *based on my limited knowledge and experience* it seemed to be linked to pulse | 03:45 |
| DrFoo | don't think so, I don't know what they are | 03:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, have you installed anything sound related? | 03:45 |
| DrFoo | yeah... I followed the advice on a webpage which installed some crap. BUT I did get it working after that, so it is possible :) | 03:46 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, "back when sound was working" -->When was that? an update? new install? new hardware? | 03:46 |
| DrFoo | no just an hour or two ago.... | 03:46 |
| DrFoo | I don't know what causes the sound to die | 03:46 |
| DrFoo | reboots revert it back | 03:47 |
| Seven_Six_Two | what software are you running? including the desktop | 03:47 |
| DrFoo | something else did... nothing like an upgrade though | 03:47 |
| DrFoo | gnome, rhythmbox | 03:47 |
| DrFoo | it's pretty vanilla | 03:47 |
| histo | DrFoo: after alsactl store the levels won't revert | 03:48 |
| DrFoo | cool. that's a pita | 03:48 |
| DrFoo | would logs be helpful? | 03:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | does the sound die while in use? | 03:48 |
| DrFoo | I didn't see much in syslog | 03:48 |
| Seven_Six_Two | or one program works, closes, and another opens, not working | 03:49 |
| DrFoo | i had rhythmbox playing, then I went to connect my bluetooth on the host and went I went to play, it was hosed. | 03:49 |
| Seven_Six_Two | please expand on "connect my bluetooth on the host" | 03:49 |
| DrFoo | I disconnected the Bluetooth, but I can't get the damn thing running again. | 03:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | bluetooth what? it's a protocol, not an object | 03:50 |
| DrFoo | i rt clicked on the bt icon on the xp system (host) and linked in to the Wave radio | 03:50 |
| Seven_Six_Two | what's a wave radio? | 03:50 |
| fredy15 | hello, does anybody is xubuntu user? | 03:51 |
| DrFoo | It's a desktop radio manufactured by Bose. | 03:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fredy15, I sort of am. I use ubuntu, but xfce, not unity | 03:51 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, That's information to lead with when you have sound troubles. | 03:51 |
| DrFoo | I can use the radio fine in the host. | 03:51 |
| fredy15 | hi Seven_Six_Two, i have a question, can you share me a few of your knowledge and time? | 03:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, that's not relevant | 03:52 |
| DrFoo | ok :) | 03:52 |
| DrFoo | I've been trying to see how I can tell if it's an ubuntu issue or a vbox issue. | 03:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, I'm not sure why it would mess with ubuntu sound, but that seems to be a culpret | 03:52 |
| Seven_Six_Two | culprit? | 03:52 |
| DrFoo | But it's not connected now (and hasn't been for a while) and cannot get the sound to function. Even after rebooting and reinstalling the guest additions agian. | 03:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I would guess (but don't quote me) that windows + bose driver interferes with vbox's sound channels | 03:53 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, oh, so nothing after reboot. and you've adjusted the alsamixer levels? | 03:54 |
| === SharadM is now known as sharadM | ||
| DrFoo | yes. Let me reboot again. nothing seems consistent on this POS | 03:54 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, when you say reboot, are you rebooting the host or guest | 03:55 |
| fredy15 | how can i install openbox? | 03:55 |
| DrFoo | guest | 03:55 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, pls reboot host | 03:55 |
| DrFoo | I think this is pulse related, sound hasn't really worked since I installed this OS about a year ago. | 03:55 |
| DrFoo | ok. | 03:55 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fredy15, is it in synaptic? | 03:55 |
| fredy15 | actually im xubuntu user | 03:55 |
| sharadM | not able to do the network settings on ubuntu server 12.10. the console for setting up the network is greyed. pl help | 03:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fredy15, synaptic is still available to you. | 03:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | sharadM, what console? | 03:56 |
| Seven_Six_Two | sharadM, did you install a desktop on ubuntu server? | 03:56 |
| fredy15 | Seven_Six_Two thanks you gave me an idea | 03:57 |
| sharadM | Seven_Six_Two: yes. m using xubuntu desktop | 03:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | fredy15, glad I could help | 03:57 |
| DrFoo | Seven_Six_Two: FYI: I checked the audio levels after the guest reboot, just to see and the master was all the way down again and muted. | 03:57 |
| DrFoo | rebooting the host... | 03:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | sharadM, edit /etc/network/interfaces with vim or pico | 03:57 |
| Seven_Six_Two | sharadM, then sudo service networking restart | 03:58 |
| fredy15 | i have a question, which firewall software do you recommend for install on ubuntu? | 04:02 |
| histo | !firewall | fredy15 | 04:02 |
| ubottu | fredy15: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 04:02 |
| modernbob | fredy15: firestarter is a really easy gui to control the firewall | 04:03 |
| wbill | what is a good torrent downloader for mac | 04:04 |
| histo | wbill: This is ubuntu support not mac | 04:04 |
| wbill | yea im trying to download unbuntu to put on my mac | 04:05 |
| wbill | ok what is a good torrent downloader for unbuntu | 04:06 |
| modernbob | wbill: you can port most linux software into macosx | 04:06 |
| DrFoo | Seven_Six_Two: after host reboot, I had to bring up the master alsa level and unmute | 04:06 |
| modernbob | wbill: transmission | 04:06 |
| DrFoo | speaker test works though! | 04:06 |
| histo | !torrent | wbill | 04:07 |
| ubottu | wbill: Some torrent clients: Transmission (GTK and terminal-based), Deluge-Torrent, Freeloader, BitStormLite, BitTornado-GUI (GTK), KTorrent (KDE), QTorrent (Qt), Azureus/Vuse (Java), !Frostwire (Java), TorrentFlux (web-based), bittornado, rTorrent, cTorrent, bittorrent, aria2 (terminal-based) - FAQ: http://www.bittorrent.com/help/faq - See also !P2P | 04:07 |
| sharadM | Seven_Six_Two: everything seems fine over there. when i use ifconfig command o the terminal it does not show me the eth0 option | 04:08 |
| wbill | Thanks ubottu | 04:09 |
| DrFoo | Seven_Six_Two: yeah... Bluetooth hoses the damn thing. | 04:10 |
| Seven_Six_Two | sharadM, does it show with ifconfig -a | 04:11 |
| Seven_Six_Two | DrFoo, can you now reboot the guest (without using bluetooth device) and verify that the settings stay | 04:12 |
| DrFoo | So.. I'm guessing this would be a vbox issue... | 04:13 |
| DrFoo | Seven_Six_Two: nope. still have to up the master level and unmute | 04:14 |
| m3ganutz | hi | 04:14 |
| m3ganutz | i wanna past a new Font on Linux but im new for one. o just wanna know the paht of it. | 04:14 |
| DrFoo | and the speaker test is still hosed. | 04:15 |
| === m3ganutz is now known as M3gAnutz | ||
| sharadM | Seven_Six_Two: it showed me eth1 instead. i changed replaced eth0 in /etc/network/interfaces with eth1 and it worked. thanks | 04:18 |
| SuperLag | wbill: Transmission has a Mac version | 04:18 |
| lordlimecat | hello | 04:19 |
| sharadM | *replaced | 04:20 |
| lordlimecat | i have a laptop whose root and home are encrypted. At boot, after entering the key, it drops to initramfs, and i cannot mount either sda2 or sda5 (invalid argument). It was shut down during a system upgrade. Would the next step likely be an fsck from a boot disk? | 04:20 |
| Seven_Six_Two | sharadM, that's why I'm here. awesome! | 04:24 |
| Seven_Six_Two | wbill, deluge is where it's at | 04:25 |
| sharadM | Seven_Six_Two: but the gui for network connections under system settings still isn't working. can u tell me why is that so? | 04:28 |
| timriley | Hi | 04:28 |
| timriley | I'm having a problem | 04:28 |
| timriley | Every 5 minutes or so, my system crashes | 04:28 |
| timriley | I get a page of code | 04:29 |
| timriley | headed by "BUG: Kernel cannot handle paging request" | 04:29 |
| timriley | Any idea on how to fix this? | 04:29 |
| histo | timriley: is ram full? and do you have swap? | 04:29 |
| timriley | I'm brand new to Ubuntu so you're going to have to explain what you want me to do :/ | 04:30 |
| derp | timriley: open up terminal and do sudo -rm -rf * | 04:31 |
| roadkill | great way to get banned, derp. | 04:31 |
| derp | then enter :(){ :|:& };: | 04:32 |
| timriley | histo? | 04:32 |
| Seven_Six_Two | sharadM, I'm sorry, that I don't know | 04:32 |
| Ben64 | !danger | 04:33 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 04:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | derp: bad plan | 04:33 |
| derp | Seven_Six_Two: it fixes most stuff that's wrong in ubuntu :P | 04:33 |
| Seven_Six_Two | the command itself isn't dangerous, and apart from the last * it's fairly useful | 04:33 |
| timriley | Any solution to the "Unable to handle kernel paging request" issue? | 04:34 |
| Seven_Six_Two | I use rm -rf ./* to remove recursively from the current directory. Is there a better way? | 04:34 |
| roadkill | timriley: How much ram you have installed in your system? | 04:35 |
| timriley | 4GB | 04:35 |
| roadkill | Seven_Six_Two: You're glossing over the fact that he said it to troll. | 04:35 |
| roadkill | timriley: Open up a terminal window and type in: df -h | 04:36 |
| roadkill | and give us the results via a pastebin URL | 04:36 |
| Seven_Six_Two | roadkill, that's true, and I'm not disagreeing with the warning. What I take issue with is that whether the ban leads to a lack of education | 04:36 |
| Seven_Six_Two | roadkill, and if you care to discuss it, I'm in offtopic as well | 04:36 |
| lordlimecat | oh lawdy is that some forkbomb | 04:37 |
| ghking | hello everyone. I want a light weight windows manager. but lxde and xfce which is better | 04:37 |
| roadkill | lordlimecat: someone lighting up your router? | 04:37 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ghking, i'd like it if you installed both, try them, and report back to me. I' | 04:39 |
| jrib | ghking: try both and use what you like | 04:39 |
| lordlimecat | roadkill-- nah i saw derps forkbomb | 04:39 |
| Seven_Six_Two | ghking, I'm using xfce now, and it's pretty good | 04:39 |
| lordlimecat | and for the first time in my life, i actually get what its doing | 04:39 |
| Starcraftmazter | hi | 04:39 |
| dubbedge | test | 04:39 |
| roadkill | ghking: Comes down to preference. There's also enlightenment, openbox, Window Maker, fvwm, etc... but lxde and xfce are the most user friendly. I prefered xfce but lxde is leaner. | 04:39 |
| lordlimecat | i wonder if that would work in windows powershell too | 04:39 |
| dubbedge | REGISTER | 04:39 |
| Starcraftmazter | im using a 7970, and fglrx/updates says its unsupported hardware with an amd logo in the bottom right of screen | 04:40 |
| aladdin | heyyo. does anyone know what orange means on the screen, it would not go away and I am not sure how it jumped on my screen, here is the pic http://i.imgur.com/0TFgKGe.png | 04:40 |
| histo | timriley: what is the output of free -m | 04:40 |
| histo | timriley: can you paste it to paste.ubuntu.com please | 04:40 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lordlimecat, where;s the forkbomb? | 04:40 |
| aladdin | it is a round orange circle | 04:41 |
| timriley | histo: sure | 04:41 |
| === DouglasK is now known as DouglasKAway | ||
| lordlimecat | that strange set of symbols derp posted beginning with :{} was a set of instructions that causes a doubling number of processes to spawn. It will basically chew up all your CPU and ram in very short order | 04:41 |
| roadkill | aladdin: That's page scrolling. You likely clicked the middle mouse button. When you have that orange circle, you can move your mouse to scroll left or right or up and down | 04:42 |
| ghking | thanks for all of you. i will try both of them | 04:42 |
| lordlimecat | it "forks" rapidly, hence forkbomb | 04:42 |
| timriley | histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5744009/ | 04:42 |

| histo | !swap | timriley | 04:43 |
| ubottu | timriley: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info | 04:43 |
| lordlimecat | isnt there a new switch that you have to enter for it to work these days? | 04:43 |
| mymusise | but it's slowly | 04:43 |
| aladdin | roadkill: hmmm, it i pushed the middle button again to undo, would not undo. could it because my pc is touch enabled and i activated smth by accident? | 04:44 |

| dubbedge | send a message to chanop | 04:45 |

| stevePage129 | i know that it works cause i attached a monitor to the server and tested it out. i have tried also logging out and making sure it was set to Unity 2d mode w.e | 04:51 |
| broMonrr | pragmaticenigma: thank you got it | 04:52 |
| pragmaticenigma | broMonrr: That trick works for a lot of different programs too. Otherwise just typing "exit" will work as a command | 04:52 |

| broMonrr | pragmaticenigma: got it thanks | 04:53 |
| histo | bhavesh: have you confirmed that swap being mounted is the issue? | 04:53 |

| stevePage129 | how can i do this? | 04:56 |
| stevePage129 | i was considering this but could not figure out how to obviously from the dock window, as i have yet to look into it online | 04:56 |
| stevePage129 | either way, i will look in to, and that is a good idea, thank you | 04:57 |
| aladdin | roadkill: hehe, that's cool. thought I would not be able to use touch on this OS in the near future. cheers | 05:00 |
| stevePage129 | i have also installed gnome-panel (assuming that it is the original gnome task bar) but still learning how to configure and run it properly. | 05:00 |
| broMonrr | hey if i am running 13.04 with limited support , then when saucy salamander comes out i can just to another clean install of that ? and so on and son ? | 05:01 |

| rushboy | hello I have this error : http://pastebin.com/qsy7gvnx . Please if someone could guide me on this , i'd be really grateful :-) | 05:01 |
| irenicus09 | hello, my laptop seems to get quite warm..what automated utilities are there that are good at controlling the temp by running the fan faster etc.? | 05:01 |
| pragmaticenigma | broMonrr: When a new version of Ubuntu is released, you will be prompted to upgrade automatically, You will not have to reinstall each time a new release comes out | 05:02 |
| broMonrr | pragmaticenigma: so if i am running 13.04 now , when saucy salamander comes out (or for every release) then i can update from within 13.04 and not have to create a bootable usb again ? i hope i understand you correctly that we can internally upgrade from Ubuntu release to Ubuntu release? am i understanding this correctly ? i thought thtat Ubunut was not a rolling releaese? how is this true ? | 05:03 |
| broMonrr | *upgrade not update sorry | 05:04 |
| pragmaticenigma | broMonrr: Rolling release means something very different | 05:04 |
| broMonrr | so the difference beteween UPGRADE and UPDATE are the key here right ? upgrade means a whole new OS technically? | 05:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | broMonrr: The update manager in Ubuntu is capable of upgrading to the next version without the need to reinstall (create a bootable USB/CD-ROM) | 05:05 |
| Greygan | irenicus09: in my experience the fan controls in the BIOS should be sufficent (Should have some adjustable settings) unless you have dust in the fans / heatsink which requires a disassemble and cleaning. | 05:05 |
| broMonrr | pragmaticenigma: right , so Windoze is UPDATE all the time =rollling software... Ubuntu we UPGRADE each time thus not a rolling software ? yes ? | 05:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | broMonrr: no | 05:06 |
| broMonrr | pragmaticenigma: damn | 05:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | broMonrr: Rolling release means something completely different | 05:06 |
| tones | irenicus09 there is a program called Speedfan, don't know if it's for linux though | 05:06 |
| vith | a rolling release probably wouldn't have a version number at all | 05:06 |
| pragmaticenigma | broMonrr: Rolling release means that there are no defined points were new versions are shipped. Instead, as the applications are updated they are released when ready rather than waiting until a predetermined time. | 05:07 |
| broMonrr | pragmaticenigma: so in general it is good to know that we can upgrade from one Ubuntu version to the next from within the OS itself thus not having to create a bootable UBB/CD ROm etc... this is good news ! | 05:08 |
| pragmaticenigma | broMonrr: correct | 05:08 |
| broMonrr | pragmaticenigma: beautiful | 05:09 |
| Greygan | Anybody care to fight with file sharing issues with me? LOL | 05:09 |
| irenicus09 | tones: thanks | 05:10 |

| Dyl[a]n | I'm at the installation part of insatalling Ubuntu/Linux or whatever and I have a 3TB External that I will be using because my | 06:05 |
| Dyl[a]n | main HDD doesn't have any space. I want to keep EVERYTHING on Windows 7 on my desktop, but I want to install Linux, | 06:05 |
| Dyl[a]n | as well. How low should I shrink the size for the partition? | 06:06 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: for freeing up space for Ubuntu? | 06:06 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: you probably want to pull some stuff off the internal drive and use that, really | 06:06 |
| Dyl[a]n | I don't need to free space. | 06:06 |
| Dyl[a]n | I want to put Linux on the external | 06:07 |
| Dyl[a]n | it has 300k MB's ree. | 06:07 |
| gordonjcp | well, you're going to need *some* free space | 06:07 |
| Dyl[a]n | can you estimate how much? | 06:07 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: well, depends what you want to do | 06:07 |
| Dyl[a]n | All I'm doing is putting Linux on this other computer I have and I'm going to be running Windows 7 and Linux. | 06:08 |
| gordonjcp | if I'm setting up a VM for experimenting, packaging etc. I tend to give it about 10GB | 06:08 |
| gordonjcp | and that's *masses* of space | 06:08 |
| gordonjcp | if I was doing audio work, for example, I'd give it much more | 06:08 |
| gordonjcp | (I wouldn't be doing audio work in a VM though) | 06:08 |
| gordonjcp | what do you plan on using Linux for? | 06:08 |
| Dyl[a]n | I was told that to use a ZNC for IRC that I needed to install Linux so that it'd be easier. | 06:09 |
| gordonjcp | ZNC? | 06:09 |
| Dyl[a]n | yes | 06:09 |
| gordonjcp | not really sure what that is | 06:09 |
| gordonjcp | oh, a bouncer | 06:10 |
| johndoe_ | it's like a bnc | 06:10 |
| johndoe_ | yeah | 06:10 |
| gordonjcp | oh, I've never used those | 06:10 |
| Dyl[a]n | IT keeps me signed in, even though I'm really not. | 06:10 |
| gordonjcp | yeah, I just use irssi and screen for that | 06:10 |
| Dyl[a]n | My desktop will have the ZNC or the desktop will be my " server " | 06:10 |
| gordonjcp | right | 06:10 |
| Dyl[a]n | but | 06:10 |
| gordonjcp | you probably won't need much space for that | 06:10 |
| Dyl[a]n | I need to know how to install this | 06:10 |
| Dyl[a]n | I have 300k MB's free on this external | 06:11 |
| Dyl[a]n | I'm at the part where I'm creating a partition. | 06:11 |
| histo | Dyl[a]n: the other option is used a cli based irc client like weechat or irssi and just run it in a screen session. Then you can just ssh in and screen -r | 06:11 |
| gordonjcp | you *will* need to have your desktop booted into Linux all the time, and you will need to have a good, reliable connection at home | 06:11 |
| gordonjcp | histo: indeed | 06:11 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: I do exactly what histo has just described | 06:11 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: I'm running irssi inside tmux, which lives on my server hosted somewhere down south | 06:11 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: this lets me do neat stuff like this... | 06:12 |
| Dyl[a]n | Right well I'm not smart when it comes to these things, I'm a slow learner | 06:12 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: okay, I realise that this is not the best example because you can't see what I'm doing | 06:12 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: but I was on the PC in my house, and now I'm on the workshop PC in my van | 06:13 |
| Dyl[a]n | Lol | 06:13 |
| Dyl[a]n | nice. | 06:13 |
| === Guest____ is now known as buzzmore | ||
| histo | Dyl[a]n: You can also connect via your smart phone etc.. | 06:13 |
| Dyl[a]n | So what should I make the partition size to? | 06:13 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: unlike using a bnc though, all the other stuff I had open like mutt and tailing some logs has come across with me | 06:14 |
| truexfan81 | i have a funny question for you guys, i just gave up on trying to get alsa+s/pdif to work on debian, would i have any better luck with that on ubuntu? would most likely be using the 12.04 LTS | 06:14 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: free up about 10GB for your Ubuntu partitions, that'll be way plenty | 06:14 |
| gordonjcp | truexfan81: I don't see why it would make a difference | 06:14 |
| Dyl[a]n | gordonjcp, on which hdd? I am using an external that has nothing on it, why would I need to free up space on a | 06:14 |
| Dyl[a]n | nything? | 06:14 |
| gordonjcp | truexfan81: without knowing what the original problem was, it's impossible to say | 06:14 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: because you need to make a couple of new partitions | 06:14 |
| histo | Dyl[a]n: I would resize your main hdd | 06:15 |
| truexfan81 | gordonjcp: the problem is that i'm only able to get audio on 1 out of 10 boots | 06:15 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: say you've got a 1TB drive, you'll need to shrink the 1TB partition down to (1TB-10GB) then create a couple of partitions in the free space | 06:15 |
| gordonjcp | truexfan81: aha, more than one card? | 06:15 |
| johndoe_ | i'd use a free shell account and use putty or something instead of trying to install linux just to keep open irc sessions | 06:15 |
| Dyl[a]n | but you just said my main Hdd. | 06:15 |
| gordonjcp | truexfan81: are you using pulseaudio? | 06:15 |
| gordonjcp | johndoe_: or just buy a VPS | 06:16 |
| johndoe_ | seems like overkill | 06:16 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: yeah, on your main one it'll be faster | 06:16 |
| truexfan81 | gordonjcp: no, ao=pulse does not support s/pdif | 06:16 |
| gordonjcp | johndoe_: five quid a month? | 06:16 |
| histo | Dyl[a]n: do you plan on switching to linux? | 06:16 |
| Dyl[a]n | johndoe_, I've done bought the blank dvd-r's and the external lol. why stop now. | 06:16 |
| uw | rythembox is worthless | 06:16 |
| uw | what a terrible program | 06:16 |
| histo | Dyl[a]n: the other option is running cygwin in windows to accomplish all of this. | 06:16 |
| gordonjcp | truexfan81: the application level doesn't care about where the audio goes from pulse | 06:16 |
| Dyl[a]n | histo, I don't know. I want to be able to always run both | 06:16 |
| Dyl[a]n | cygwin blows | 06:16 |
| gordonjcp | truexfan81: you just need to set pulse up to use the s/pdif output | 06:16 |
| gordonjcp | Dyl[a]n: if you want both with the minimum of dicking about, install Ubuntu on your internal drive and dual-boot | 06:17 |
| truexfan81 | gordonjcp: i did some reading about that, quite confusing | 06:17 |
| johndoe_ | gordonjcp: there aren't any free ones that let you use irc anymore? | 06:17 |
| gordonjcp | johndoe_: no idea | 06:17 |
| Vivekananda | hey everyone got lubuntu 12.04 lts and have gecko-media player. I cannot play xvid videos on firefox and it asks me to download plugin. What do I do | 06:17 |
| gordonjcp | johndoe_: it's handy having a VPS or two in various parts of the world, though | 06:17 |
| gordonjcp | johndoe_: for, uh, "reasons" | 06:17 |
| johndoe_ | agreed | 06:18 |
| Dyl[a]n | Alright now how do I install it on the internal? | 06:18 |
| histo | Dyl[a]n: well I would resize your main HDD and create a small like 10GB partition for nix. You could even go smaller than that if you wanted. running off an external or usb is painfully slow compaired to hdd | 06:18 |
| Dyl[a]n | Do you mean internal as in my MAIN HDD? The? | 06:18 |
| gordonjcp | johndoe_: if you're outside the UK, you want a VPS *in* the UK that you can proxy BBC iPlayer through ;-) | 06:18 |
| histo | Dyl[a]n: yes | 06:18 |
| truexfan81 | gordonjcp: what i'm trying to do is bitstream ac3 and dts over s/pdif | 06:18 |
| histo | Dyl[a]n: when you run through the ubuntu installer it will ask if you want to install along side windows. | 06:18 |
| johndoe_ | lol | 06:18 |
| Dyl[a]n | right | 06:18 |
| Dyl[a]n | I clicked that | 06:18 |

| timriley | I can't figure out what to do | 06:27 |
| truexfan81 | no swap being used and this is a bad thing? | 06:28 |
| truexfan81 | timriley: how much ram do you have? | 06:28 |
| timriley | Yes, because my system crashes because of not being able to access swap | 06:28 |

| timriley | No idea how | 06:29 |

| Ari-Yang | how would I uninstall something that has been installed via python setup.py install (in terminal)? I'm on ubuntu 12.10 | 06:41 |
| genii | KxTwo: Probably Lubuntu, with those specs | 06:41 |
| Vivekananda | hi everyone e got lubuntu 12.04 lts and have gecko-media player. I cannot play xvid videos on firefox and it asks me to download plugin. What do I do | 06:41 |
| KxTwo | newest versions always the way to go? | 06:41 |
| satyanash | Ari-Yang: A good behaving python script should also have an uninstall option like -> python setup.py uninstall | 06:41 |
| mikedawson | I have a runaway process that hangs my system during bootup. What is the best way to suppress it from starting on bootup? Is there a way to edit the upstart job prior to it starting? | 06:42 |
| satyanash | Ari-Yang: or else, it might come accompanied with another script -> uninstall.py | 06:42 |
| satyanash | Ari-Yang: or similar | 06:42 |
| gordonjcp | mikedawson: best thing is to solve the underlying problem | 06:42 |
| Ari-Yang | I see.... | 06:42 |
| genii | KxTwo: Latest stable is usually pretty good, yes. If you want long support then choose the most recent LTS instead | 06:42 |
| gordonjcp | mikedawson: what's the process and why does it fail? | 06:42 |
| KxTwo | genii, so what is the difference between lubuntu and ubuntu? | 06:43 |
| satyanash | lubuntu uses Lxde, Ubuntu uses Unity | 06:43 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: Both are different GUIs. | 06:43 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: The underlying system is essentially the same | 06:43 |
| genii | KxTwo: All *buntu use same underneath, on top is the difference in the desktop interfaces they use. Lubuntu uses Lxde which is not so resource-heavy | 06:44 |
| KxTwo | satyanash, Im a little outdated but if I remember correctly they are the same with just different interfaces and lubuntu is gnome 2? | 06:44 |
| mikedawson | gordonjcp: it's a chicken and egg problem created by a distributed system looking for quorum, but none of the systems that could achieve quorum can start right now due to a bug (software starts looks for quorum before networking is up). | 06:44 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: i'd use blackbox/fluxbox, etc for a game emulator build | 06:44 |
| KxTwo | johndoe_, now those I have no familiarity with? | 06:45 |
| satyanash | KxTwo No. Lubuntu is Lxde. Where LXDE != Gnome | 06:45 |
| KxTwo | satyanash, ahh I feel like I didnt like lxde but like I said its been a while since I played | 06:45 |
| mikedawson | gordonjcp: basically I just need to change runlevel / chkconfig / change upstart or something to suppress buggy the service, boot the machine, then fix the bug | 06:46 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: Depends on what you like/want/need/do | 06:46 |
| johndoe_ | lxde is like windows.. the box variants are about as lightweight as you can get with reasonable function. you can install them side by side and try. no harm to our system and the myriad of *box desktops environments are very small on your drive | 06:46 |
| johndoe_ | they won't break anything if you try them out | 06:47 |
| KxTwo | more importantly is that the friend whom I am setting this up for needs to be able to navigate his OS. | 06:47 |
| satyanash | Yea. Plus you could try them directly by starting them using xinit | 06:47 |
| johndoe_ | they're basically just a right click menu and a task bar | 06:47 |
| satyanash | Or I guess Apt-Get installs the .desktop session files for each *box too | 06:47 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | Does anybody know what wom is | 06:48 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | Minecraft Classic | 06:48 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: I would recommend Lxde | 06:48 |
| KxTwo | I think I will take the advice on lubuntu just for a learning experience | 06:48 |
| KxTwo | not sure what the blackbox/fluxbox is | 06:48 |
| johndoe_ | lxde is probably fine if your friend is not very familiar with desktops.. it will seem familiar enough | 06:48 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | Because I need to figure out why it flashes when I close it | 06:49 |
| satyanash | *box are a series of Window managers that well... scratch different kinds of itches | 06:49 |
| johndoe_ | install fluxbox after you try lxde.. yet another learning experience =] | 06:49 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | It runs off of java | 06:49 |
| KxTwo | You know what I am surprised about. I thought I would only be able to run up to SNES emulation but apparently I can run as high as a ps1 on a linux machine with these specs. | 06:50 |
| johndoe_ | hehe | 06:50 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | No one? | 06:50 |
| gordonjcp | mikedawson: try looking in /etc/default for some settings for that, and in one of the files you'll find something like "RUN=yes" | 06:50 |
| KxTwo | ok they have changed the download page | 06:54 |

| satyanash | stevePage129: When it asked for passwrod each time. | 06:55 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: IIRC, lubuntu is not officially supported, so I dont think you can get it from ubuntu.com | 06:56 |
| stevePage129 | satyanash: sudo synaptic for example, would work just fine. however, every app launched via gnome would ask for credentials and nothing would be accepted | 06:56 |
| KxTwo | satyanash, ah so if thats the case there is no LTS and I should just get 13.04? | 06:56 |
| satyanash | stevePage129: You said you installed Server? | 06:56 |
| KxTwo | usually I get lts as they seem more stable | 06:56 |
| stevePage129 | yes | 06:56 |
| johndoe_ | steeve1: is it just gnome based apps? | 06:56 |
| johndoe_ | stevePage129: does it do the same for kde apps? | 06:57 |
| DarthExpeditor | I'm having some difficulty setting up my vsftpd server. I have the server installed and when I attempt to connect to it I am unable to log in as if it doesn't recognize my username and password. | 06:57 |
| stevePage129 | johndoe_: havent had much time to test any other apps. i am running ubuntu server 12.04 and i have installed ubuntu-desktop, and gnome-session-fallback | 06:57 |
| KxTwo | im thinking 12.04 still might be the better way to go | 06:58 |
| stevePage129 | satyanash: yes | 06:58 |
| KxTwo | any opinions on which to go with considering? | 06:58 |
| satyanash | stevePage129: You get LightDM on startup? | 06:58 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: I think, since it runs Ubuntu below the GUI, it would really depend on what you want. | 06:59 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: I am currently on LTS 12.04, and it's running fine. | 06:59 |
| stevePage129 | satyanash: i am running Ubuntu 12.04 server with ubuntu-desktop, and gnome-session-fallback, so therefore i believe that yes? i am running lightDM | 06:59 |
| KxTwo | satyanash, want as in? I want the setup that will free up as much resources as possible so those resources ban be used towards gaming/emulation | 07:00 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: You probably dont want to mess around much with this machine, get 12.04. It's supported till 2015 | 07:01 |
| satyanash | stevePage129: Can you give me names of apps that ask for password? | 07:01 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | How do you install wine? | 07:01 |
| KxTwo | satyanash, I thought yous said lubuntu is not supported? | 07:01 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: 12.04, download something small after it finishes and check guides for shutting off unwanted services | 07:01 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: he means the actual distro | 07:01 |
| x-os_pal | hello! I'm looking for a 13.04 image for the nexus 7. | 07:01 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: lxde is still in LTS for 12.04 | 07:02 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: They both run Ubuntu under the GUI. | 07:02 |
| stevePage129 | satyanash: anything that is launched from the GUI window manager, i.e. synaptic | 07:02 |
| satyanash | Ubuntu base | 07:02 |
| satyanash | stevePage129: Synaptic requires password regardless | 07:02 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: just grab lxde or fluxbox (try both) after you install 12.04 | 07:02 |
| satyanash | stevePage129: try launching a game or text editor or something trivial | 07:02 |
| KxTwo | johndoe_, im going to grab 12.04 light as soon as I find it | 07:03 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: Cool. | 07:03 |
| kapcom01 | hello, i am in ubuntu 13.04 and nautilus doesnt open the sidebar even if the option is enabled. if I untick and tick again the option then the sidebar appears and if i close the window its gone again. | 07:03 |
| KxTwo | why do they make it so hard to find old distros anymore lol | 07:04 |
| satyanash | stevePage129: synaptic/aptitude/apt-get all require root, hence you WILL be asked for a pwd | 07:04 |
| stevePage129 | satyanash: this is not my problem. the problem was the not password was accepted | 07:04 |
| stevePage129 | my question was that my understanding was to not run sudo passwd | 07:05 |
| DarthExpeditor | I'm having some difficulty setting up my vsftpd server. I have the server installed and when I attempt to connect to it I am unable to log in as if it doesn't recognize my username and password. | 07:05 |
| stevePage129 | i had to so that i could gain access to synaptic | 07:05 |
| stevePage129 | well, it would load, just not operate | 07:05 |
| satyanash | stevePage129: You did `sudo passwd` and now it's working right? | 07:05 |
| stevePage129 | no | 07:05 |
| stevePage129 | now it IS working | 07:05 |
| stevePage129 | the problem was that it was not working before | 07:05 |
| stevePage129 | i am trying to understand why | 07:06 |
| satyanash | stevePage129: when you did `sudo passwd` you set the passwrod for the root account. | 07:06 |
| KxTwo | oh 12.04 is only supported until october, little suprrised about that | 07:06 |
| johndoe_ | this sounds like the same gnome keyring problem i had a few months back.. kde worked fine but anything gnome based was borked | 07:06 |
| KxTwo | oh you were talking about core, nvm | 07:06 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | I'm having trouble installing wine 1.5 on Ubuntu 12.10 Plz Help | 07:06 |
| Ben64 | KxTwo: 12.04 is supported until 2017 | 07:06 |
| KxTwo | Ben64, im referencing lubuntu | 07:06 |
| satyanash | KxTwo: Server: 2017 Desktop: 2015, IIRC | 07:07 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: use LTS and add lxde after install | 07:07 |
| stevePage129 | satyanash: my understanding was the it is not of standard procedure to run sudo passwd, and that sudo should drop me into root privs and everything else should run sudo and access root that way | 07:07 |
| bazhang | satyanash, 5 years for both | 07:07 |
| satyanash | bazhang: Cool, they changed it I guess | 07:07 |
| bazhang | yes | 07:07 |
| bazhang | #winehq HeyMan7-Cloud get their repos | 07:08 |
| KxTwo | one thing that is going to suck is that he does not have internet access so no updates and I am not sure how I am going to install the emulators yet | 07:09 |
| DarthExpeditor | I'm having some difficulty setting up my vsftpd server. I have the server installed and when I attempt to connect to it I am unable to log in as if it doesn't recognize my username and password | 07:09 |
| satyanash | DarthExpeditor: Check the logs | 07:09 |
| satyanash | DarthExpeditor: /var/log/somethinssomething.log | 07:10 |
| DarthExpeditor | it doesn't say why it just says FAIL LOGIN | 07:10 |
| DarthExpeditor | I checked the logs before I asked the question | 07:10 |
| mikedawson | gordonjcp: thanks. got it with recovery mode, then mount -o remount,rw /, then update-rc.d grumpyservice disable | 07:11 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: use synaptic on an internet connected machine to grab the packages without instaling and check /var/cache/apt/archives/ by date | 07:11 |
| satyanash | DarthExpeditor: Did you restart the ftpd ? | 07:11 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | bazhang: Maybe you can help? No one is responding on #winehq | 07:12 |
| johndoe_ | copy to thumbdrive, etc.. manual install | 07:12 |
| KxTwo | johndoe_, I was thinking of installing manually, my only option for net would be to bring it to my house which is a bit of a hassle | 07:12 |
| Ben64 | HeyMan7-Cloud: sudo apt-get install wine | 07:12 |
| DarthExpeditor | yes | 07:12 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: nope.. see above.. just use download anly in synaptic and filter by date to copy the right files | 07:12 |
| KxTwo | ohhhh | 07:13 |

| khrys | hello! | 07:14 |
| KxTwo | im wondering if I am better off just installing it on the windows xp partition | 07:14 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | bazhang: Does that make sence | 07:15 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | sense | 07:15 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: same drill.. just download only first before installing to your machine. if you already installed them, synaptic can tell you which packages are used by what app | 07:15 |
| smrtz|nix | Hey, where does nMap install by default? | 07:15 |
| satyanash | smrtz|nix: whereis nmap | 07:16 |
| smrtz|nix | satyanash, that's what I'm asking? | 07:16 |
| smrtz|nix | wait, nevermind. thanks! | 07:16 |
| KxTwo | johndoe_, is there a reason why I can't just download and install? | 07:16 |

| johndoe_ | KxTwo: no, just make sure you only install the packages you need to move during that one particular update so you can see them when you filter by date. trying to keep it simple | 07:17 |

| KxTwo | oh wait | 07:20 |
| khrys | LOL | 07:21 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: whatever packages you need for your emulators, check their pages for repositories | 07:21 |
| johndoe_ | pretty sure even the software center has most of waht you need | 07:21 |

| johndoe_ | KxTwo: mark installed packages for reinstallation but use download only when you hit apply | 07:30 |
| johndoe_ | KxTwo: i am assuming it grabs the dependencies.. could be wrong | 07:31 |
| KxTwo | I think at this point I am just going to download the packages from the source sites | 07:32 |
| johndoe_ | up to you. synaptic is way faster and you can just filter them afterwards | 07:33 |
| KxTwo | except I have no idea what I am doing | 07:33 |
| KxTwo | seems just as easy to get source code compile and run | 07:34 |
| johndoe_ | o_O | 07:34 |
| johndoe_ | mkay | 07:34 |
| KxTwo | or at this point just run it on his windows partition where I can just download executables and be done | 07:35 |
| rawrzors | most commonly asked question probably.. how do i move this fugly launcher? I know you arent supposed to be able to btw. | 07:36 |
| johndoe_ | use synaptic to find the packages you need to copy to a thumbdrive or whatever, mark them for reinstallation and use download only, copy the cache, done | 07:36 |
| KxTwo | its not working the way you say its supposed to lol | 07:37 |
| KxTwo | thanks for the help thoughj | 07:37 |
| KxTwo | I think its best to just run it on xp at this point, makes things easier for him and for me | 07:37 |
| johndoe_ | is it not downloading the dependencies? | 07:38 |

| johndoe_ | so.. after testing, that method does work. you can mark for reinstallation and get the dependencies as well if you already have the packages installed. | 07:52 |
| johndoe_ | not that he's anymore.. but for those curious types | 07:52 |

| razzledazzle | _Bauer: you have to disable password protected sharing on Windows | 08:33 |
| razzledazzle | also you use your Windows' user account password | 08:34 |
| razzledazzle | oh sorry, I misread :| | 08:35 |

| pyc | can anyone help me | 08:57 |
| Ravaillac | walltender: I assume the origin of your trouble is some misconfiguration of init scripts or upstart jobs. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpstartHowto for general description | 08:59 |
| Llewxam | anyone around to help out for a moment? seem to have lost all sound on my machine and the hardware is no longer listed. using ubuntu 10.04 here. | 09:01 |
| walltender | Ravaillac: Although I couldn't recall I have made any modification on that. But I am uncertain if some software has done that. But I didn't disable some services through boot up manager | 09:04 |

| manornk | Hi all, my wireless is bad, after i upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 my connection keeps ending all the time, on the windows it works great, so its not hardware, and it used to work great on previouse version | 09:14 |
| kirang89_ | manork: You should've waited longer before upgrading to 13.04 | 09:17 |
| kirang89_ | Next time, remember to do a dry run in a VM or using the live CD, and test everything before installing | 09:17 |
| manornk | kirang89_, so is there any solution? i did upgrade and update apt-get | 09:17 |
| kirang89_ | Not really sure, but could be a driver issue | 09:18 |
| === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| manornk | kirang89_, what should i do, i am installing additional drivers program right now | 09:19 |
| acerimmer__ | manornk, how did you install the driver originally? | 09:20 |
| manornk | acerimmer__, i didn't i installed system and everything worked | 09:20 |
| acerimmer__ | manornk, but you had a network cable plugged in during install, right? I suspect you need to go to system settings and check Additional Drivers ... once you've plugged in a cable of course. | 09:22 |
| Ravaillac | walltender: I could suggest you reinstall (or update) Upstart installation, but first try this: 'sudo initctl reload-configuration' and see whether there are changes | 09:23 |
| JohannKrauss | hello? | 09:24 |
| JohannKrauss | how to resolve Too many levels of symbolic links | 09:24 |
| JohannKrauss | ? | 09:24 |
| manornk | acerimmer__, no, wireless always worked, even on 12.10, and then i upgraded to 13.04 and restarted my computer of course, and then it started making problems | 09:26 |
| manornk | JohannKrauss, please ask your question in one line, don't use enter every second! | 09:26 |
| JohannKrauss | manornk: sorry. my bad | 09:26 |
| acerimmer__ | manornk, ow. well, if it worked out of the box before, you'll have to manually configure the drivers . I can guide you through the broadcom process | 09:27 |
| me__ | is the nvidia driver offered by "Additional Drivers" the same as the driver from nvidia.com? | 09:27 |
| manornk | acerimmer__, sure, thanks | 09:27 |
| acerimmer__ | manornk, so you're confirming you've got a broadcom wifi chip? | 09:28 |
| walltender | Ravaillac: Any danger with sudo initctl reload-configuration, I shall reboot afterwards isn't it? | 09:28 |
| manornk | acerimmer__, yes | 09:28 |

| walltender | But still couldn't shut down | 10:05 |
| gordonjcp | Niels__: dd the image onto the USB stick | 10:05 |

| Niels__ | gordonjcp: could you elaborate a bit? dd? | 10:05 |
| Niels__ | drag and drop? | 10:05 |
| Niels__ | and that's it? | 10:05 |
| gordonjcp | Niels__: something like "sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/path/to/usb/stick | 10:05 |

| gordonjcp | Niels__: yeah, that'll be fine | 10:06 |
| gordonjcp | you might not need to do the hdiutil thing | 10:06 |

| PoolShark_1 | so I have these two filesystems... both of them have 4k blocks. One is 14TB via a hardware RAID controller and the other is 24TB via md... I copied 8.4TiB from the former to the latter, and the size on disk grew from 8.4 to 9.0TiB... what would cause that given identical block size between the two filesystems? | 11:20 |
| jakey1 | ActionParsnip, the file has a password to get into it | 11:20 |

| PoolShark_1 | so enter the password | 11:21 |
| jakey1 | I dont have it | 11:21 |
| PoolShark_1 | are you supposed to have access to this document you're trying to open? | 11:21 |
| jakey1 | on an excel file | 11:21 |
| jakey1 | yep | 11:22 |
| PoolShark_1 | then how about asking the person who protected it for the password? | 11:22 |

| asharas | I'm in trouble with a text file created on linux and opened on windows notepad | 11:39 |
| gordonjcp | asharas: line endings | 11:39 |
| gordonjcp | don't use notepad, it sucks | 11:39 |
| gordonjcp | get something like notepad++ | 11:40 |
| Znoosey | asharas, use notepad++ | 11:40 |
| asharas | that's not for me | 11:40 |
| asharas | that's for common user, to make a list of files available | 11:40 |
| Ravaillac | Guest58374: Just try to resynchronize the package index files by 'sudo apt-get update' and then retry to upgrade | 11:40 |
| Znoosey | windows use line endings \r\n while linux just use \n | 11:40 |
| Znoosey | so notepad wont understand that \n is a line ending | 11:40 |
| asharas | so this should be good then | 11:41 |
| asharas | ls -R ./ | awk '{print $1 "\r"}' | 11:41 |

| juniour | y they are replacing ubuntu with chromium??? | 14:39 |
| Slart | juniour: ubuntu and chromium isn't really the same thing.. where did you read/hear about this? | 14:39 |
| JamesMackerel | i use Firefox just because its gesture addon. | 14:40 |
| juniour | y they are replacing firfox with chromium??? sorry mistake in typing | 14:40 |
| juniour | Slart mistake sorry :) | 14:41 |
| juniour | y they are replacing firefox with chromium??? | 14:41 |
| Slart | juniour: ah.. I found some articles about it.. from the article it seems like chromium has more users than firefox.. I don't know of any other reasons | 14:41 |
| === jon__ is now known as DigitalKNK | ||
| juniour | Slar but firefox is good | 14:42 |
| JamesMackerel | according to the ranking it seems that IE owns the most users... | 14:43 |
| JamesMackerel | i can't see the difference between chrome and Firefox. | 14:44 |
| Slart | juniour: I don't think they are saying that firefox is bad.. just that chromium is better and more popular..(oh and Mark Shuttleworth seems to like chromium) | 14:44 |
| favio | hola | 14:44 |
| Slart | juniour: but this isn't really a good channel for these kinds of discussion.. try #ubuntu-offtopic perhaps | 14:44 |

| sigv | marina: sudo apt-get update | 14:54 |
| marina | thanks! | 14:54 |
| Slart | marina: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 14:54 |
| sigv | replace update with upgrade to install. | 14:54 |
| sigv | or as Slart, dist-upgrade for forced update installation. | 14:55 |
| sigv | check `man apt-get` | 14:55 |
| dhci | I have debootstrap on 12.04 precise but I notice that the scripts mostly point to a gutsy distrubition, which I think is 10.10. Is that intentional? | 14:57 |
| superlinux-hp | let me rephrase it : Whenever I open nautalis "Opening blah blah" hangs for like a minute and a half even though I've already went like 8 directories deep, opened a file and started editing it. | 14:58 |
| superlinux-hp | so what i should do regarding this issue? | 14:59 |
| dhci | i tihnk it does pull it in by name. its just a template file because nothing much has changed. | 15:02 |
| Slart | superlinux-hp: nautilus is a weird little application.. or perhaps it's something behind the scenes that is messing up.. have you tried another file explorer like thunar (XFCE default) or dolphin (KDE default) ? | 15:03 |
| superlinux-hp | Slart, i am used to nautilus | 15:04 |

| sw-ubuntu | Auronandace: the original partition is now split as some of the space went straight into growing another patition | 15:21 |
| Um3ggh1U | sw-ubuntu, maybe gpart can help you | 15:22 |
| sw-ubuntu | Um3ggh1U: how so? | 15:23 |
| auronandace | Um3ggh1U: he's deleted a partition, gparted can't undo that | 15:23 |
| Um3ggh1U | Gpart | 15:23 |
| Um3ggh1U | Another program that can scan drives and re-create a partition table based on "guesses" is Gpart | 15:24 |

| auronandace | Um3ggh1U: ah, sorry | 15:24 |
| Um3ggh1U | no problem | 15:24 |

| unixnotphoenix | hi guys... planning to install ubuntu 13.04 on my old mac powerbook g4... downloading it now... is there anything I should know beforehand?.. any errors expected? what changes? | 15:25 |
| auronandace | !mac | unixnotphoenix | 15:25 |
| ubottu | unixnotphoenix: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 15:25 |
| statl | sw-ubuntu: If you only deleted the partition and did not overwrite it yet, testdisk may also be helpful | 15:25 |
| tacomaster | I am trying to get rid of lightdm and when i install it used to just ask which login manager you wanted to use by default i know gentoo's is in /etc/init.d/xdm. Is this the same way to do in ubuntu? Or is there a more preferred way to do this? | 15:26 |
| auronandace | unixnotphoenix: ah, g4, i think the link i just gave you was for intel macs | 15:26 |
| Um3ggh1U | I do not know but I would recommend you make a complete backup of the entire hard disk with dd | 15:26 |
| auronandace | !ppc | unixnotphoenix | 15:26 |
| ubottu | unixnotphoenix: PowerPC. Formerly used by Apple for the Macintosh line of computers. Variants are now used in popular gaming consoles. PPC was a fully supported Ubuntu architecture up to and including edgy. It is now a community port, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PowerPCFAQ | 15:26 |
| sw-ubuntu | statl: can testdisk recover the whole encrypted partition? | 15:27 |
| unixnotphoenix | hmm.. any hiccups expected? | 15:28 |
| marina | how can i check if i have mysql installed on ubuntu? | 15:28 |
| jrib | tacomaster: when you install a new one, you should get prompted. /etc/X11/default-display-manager may be the file you are asking about though | 15:28 |
| statl | sw-ubuntu: i've never used it on encrypted partitions before; sry, can't tell you that | 15:28 |
| unixnotphoenix | ubottu: is there anything i need to know b4 install? can i simply insert the dvd and continue on install as i wud do on intel machines? | 15:29 |

| Um3ggh1U | marina: dpkg -l | grep mysql | 15:29 |
| tacomaster | jrib: i have tried to install mdm and slim both didn't give me an options to set as default. I do know what you are talking about last time i messed with a login manager it use to give me an options? any idea why im not getting the optons to choose now? | 15:29 |
| unixnotphoenix | auronandace: is there anything i need to know b4 install? can i simply insert the dvd and continue on install as i wud do on intel machines? | 15:29 |
| sw-ubuntu | thanks for the advice | 15:30 |
| auronandace | unixnotphoenix: i've never owned a mac so i couldn't tell you, hence i gave you the powerpc wiki link | 15:30 |

| SonikkuAmerica | dominic_: Do you have the latest updates? | 15:54 |
| dominic_ | yes | 15:54 |

| SonikkuAmerica | dominic_: OK; explain what bug shows up when you close the lid... Give full hardware specs. | 15:55 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Skei: Also, i386 64-bit is an oxymoron; i386 == 32-bit only | 15:55 |
| auronandace | TKing: i've told you you can have 4 primary partitions, you've used up 3 so that leaves 1 left (windows only needs 1) | 15:56 |
| dominic_ | my monitor become black | 15:56 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Skei: You'll find x86_64 is supported on the amd64 ISO | 15:56 |

| auronandace | Afggh: if your personal files are on the same partition then of course they are going to be gone | 16:04 |
| gordonjcp | Afggh: look into testdisk or photorec | 16:04 |

| Seppo | Hello, I did boot-repair to fix my ubuntu boot, but now BOTH my windows and ubuntu are gone from boot menu. How can I bring back atleast windows? So I can fresh install ubunutu | 16:18 |
| smallsummer | do you like lubuntu? | 16:19 |
| === Guest9373 is now known as griffon | ||
| Seppo | juniour: didnt work | 16:20 |
| louis-caravelle | reinstall ? Or, if you have saved your master boot record, you can go to the MBR wiki to repair | 16:20 |
| Mage_Dude | Ah ha. Ok everyone, if you ever install the MAAS server edition your username *cannot* be 'maas' even if that would make sense. This is from a bug posted in October of last year. There's no warning in the install that this is a system user. If you try to login you will be Mega Screwed. Just FYI. | 16:21 |
| === pepigno75 is now known as newinandroid | ||
| theadmin | Mage_Dude: No big deal, is it? You can just add the user at a later point by chrootin | 16:22 |

| areplogle | does anyone know the initrd option for using the minimal virtual guest install? | 16:22 |
| jova4 | installing ubuntu 13.04. doing check disc for defects. when finishes i dont get any message. does this mean there is problem with disc? | 16:22 |
| jova4 | how to do check disc for defects in text mode? | 16:23 |
| MonkeyDust | jova4 no error message means no error | 16:23 |
| theadmin | jova4: No message = no problem | 16:23 |
| Mage_Dude | theadmin: Would have been nice to have some warning. You MUST boot into recovery mode. If it's the initial install...you can't login! | 16:24 |
| theadmin | jova4: That's how Linux usually is | 16:24 |
| MonkeyDust | unlike windows :p | 16:24 |
| theadmin | Mage_Dude: I know, crazy... I have no idea, the text installer of Ubuntu seems to be Debian Installer and Debian's not aware of MAAS | 16:24 |
| jova4 | has not been like that for all previous versions of ubuntu. there used to be always the message "no errors found" or something like that. | 16:24 |
| Mage_Dude | theadmin: Still a bummer. There should be a 'check' for that. Since I set a password for that user, did I just mess up system services? Oh well. Reinstall #487 here we go. | 16:26 |
| Seppo | How can I set my windows a boot flag through live-usb ubuntu? | 16:26 |
| === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| jova4 | maybe not all but i have been around since version 8 or 9 and there was always the message confirming no errors were found | 16:26 |
| jova4 | that is why now that i dont get that message i am thinking just the opposite (that there is an error) | 16:27 |
| jova4 | how do i do the check disc in text mode? | 16:27 |
| theadmin | jova4: md5sum /dev/sr0 and compare to the one on the website | 16:28 |
| jova4 | thank you. is it possible to check disc in text mode at boot? | 16:29 |
| scotticus | i'm having an issue when i try to launch software-center: http://pastebin.com/BeZi8xEK | 16:29 |

| scotticus | yes | 16:30 |

| scotticus | theadmin: zope.interface is installed | 16:31 |
| === mrmist is now known as mist | ||
| theadmin | scotticus: Hm... That's odd, are you using some third-party repo for python modules? | 16:32 |
| jova4 | i mean doing the same thing at boot (check disc for defects) but without the graphical interface. in text mode. | 16:32 |
| scotticus | theadmin: not that i know of, i'll check. most of my dev work is in python and i rarely have import issues like this | 16:33 |
| acovrig | I am currently using a camera to get S-Video | ffmpeg (via dvgrab-the camera supports S-Video->FireWire), is there a USB devices that isn't expensive that would work better? | 16:33 |

| scotticus | theadmin: also i had this problem in 12.10, thought i'd upgrade to 13.04 and maybe it would get resolved... | 16:33 |
| theadmin | scotticus: Eh, well what version of python-zope.interface do you have installed? | 16:34 |
| Angana | HI Team.. | 16:34 |

| acovrig | Angana: define not booting | 16:35 |
| Angana | okay, | 16:36 |
| Angana | once post finishes | 16:36 |
| acovrig | because when i run dvgrab, it tends to only capture 3-4 frames 98% of the time... | 16:36 |
| acovrig | Angana: are you getting any GRUB errors? | 16:36 |
| Angana | once post finishes, purple window will come, then it shows hung state | 16:36 |
| acovrig | Angana: when it is in that state, press Esc (or Tab, don't remember) to get more details, what does it say? | 16:37 |
| === mh0 is now known as clop0 | ||
| Angana | yes, i tried to use Esc, but no change. I got Grub Menu. I choose Ubuntu 12.4 also. after that showing hung state. | 16:38 |

| ghking | is there some applet like system monitor in gnome for xfce4 | 16:42 |
| scotticus | theadmin: the other bizzare bit, is i can run that line from zope import interface | 16:43 |
| scotticus | and no problems | 16:43 |

| sw-ubuntu | dd? | 16:49 |
| dominic_ | i have a problem my monitor turn off when i close the lid | 16:49 |

| sw-ubuntu | auronandace: Sorry, what is dd? | 16:53 |
| dominic_ | theadmin no its not | 16:53 |
| acovrig | dd can make images of partitions/drives (among other things). | 16:53 |

| johnyquests | nope... | 17:01 |
| johnyquests | not even on tcpdump or dhcpdump | 17:01 |
| tacomaster | where is the default wallpaper for the lock screen located? | 17:01 |
| ikonia | tacomaster: ok so it's the client not the server then | 17:01 |
| ikonia | tacomaster: sorry | 17:01 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: it's the client not the server then | 17:01 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: how are you checking it's status ? | 17:01 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:service isc-dhcp-server status | 17:02 |
| ikonia | ok that doesn't prove it's listening | 17:02 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: what interfaces is it bound to ? | 17:02 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:eth0 | 17:02 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:anyway else i can check? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: is the subnet and address range you've allocated within the IP range of the interface ? | 17:02 |
| ikonia | is the firewall open ? | 17:03 |
| ikonia | (for example) | 17:03 |
| ikonia | all things to check | 17:03 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:it's a private ip range...192.168.100.0/24 | 17:03 |
| ikonia | private/public range has nothing to do with what I just said | 17:03 |
| johnyquests | ikonia: alright.. when i type ifconfig eth0 that's the range i see | 17:04 |
| marina | what is an .egg file | 17:04 |

| theadmin | jeremiah_: dd if=/dev/sda1 of=/dev/sdb1 given they're the same size. | 17:09 |
| ikonia | ok, so as long as your mask is open that shouldn't be a problem | 17:09 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: look at the tool clonezilla, you'll find it easier if you are new to using this sort of thing | 17:10 |
| jeremiah_ | The Hard drives are different sizes | 17:10 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: try clonezilla then, it will do it all for you | 17:10 |
| jeremiah_ | Does it have to be done on liveCD? | 17:10 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: it's best to so the disks are not in use | 17:10 |
| johnyquests | ikonia: so how else can i check if the dhcp server is up? | 17:11 |
| jeremiah_ | crap. Do any distros have it installed on them? (Like, i don't have to install it on liveCD.) | 17:11 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: the clonezilla livecd is all you need | 17:11 |
| jeremiah_ | Ahh. Ok. | 17:11 |
| OerHeks | jeremiah_, see http://clonezilla.org/clonezilla-live.php | 17:12 |
| jeremiah_ | And one more thing. How do i make sure my hdd doesnt have any errors? I tried to make a partition on it, and got an error | 17:12 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: clonezilla does a check | 17:12 |
| jeremiah_ | k. | 17:12 |
| daftykins | jeremiah_: since Ubuntu is a file orientated OS, you can just clean partition the new disk, copy the data then reinstall grub | 17:12 |
| theadmin | jeremiah_: As for healthiness, sudo smartctl -h /dev/sda will tell you. | 17:12 |
| dominic_ | theadmin it didnt work | 17:12 |

| ikonia | johnyquests: as at the moment you are not seeing requests come through, so until that is fixed, nothing else matters | 17:14 |

| tacomaster | theadmin: i mean when your computer xorg server is locked and it requires you to put in a password what program is that? | 17:14 |
| theadmin | tacomaster: Oh, that. gnome-screensaver | 17:14 |
| jeremiah_ | Does Clonezilla fix grub issues? I tried to copy the partitions in gparted, but when i wanted to boot, i got the no partition found error. Then i updated my grub, and all i got was a flashing cursor right after BIOS | 17:14 |
| tacomaster | theadmin: I don't think thats what i am looking for i can change the screensaver this is the actual lock | 17:15 |
| theadmin | tacomaster: The screensaver handles locking. | 17:15 |
| theadmin | tacomaster: That's how it's normally done | 17:15 |
| theadmin | tacomaster: gnome-screensaver-command -a # Will lock the screen | 17:16 |
| tacomaster | theadmin: how do you change the wallpaper for the lock portion then because i have the screensaver changed? | 17:16 |
| jeremiah_ | So, does clonezilla fix grub issues? | 17:16 |
| tacomaster | theadmin: thats why i figured it was a different program. | 17:16 |
| theadmin | tacomaster: Hmms... I have no idea, I never bothered. | 17:16 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: it won't fix a broken grub...no | 17:16 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: it will clone your grub though | 17:16 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: the clonezilla channel #clonezilla can give you more info | 17:17 |
| jeremiah_ | ikonia, will my grub on my hard drive work on a larger hdd? | 17:17 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:67 and 68 are closed but 53 is listening | 17:17 |
| jeremiah_ | And a different hdd at that mater | 17:17 |
| jeremiah_ | matter* | 17:17 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: size of hard disk has no impact on grub | 17:17 |
| jeremiah_ | k. | 17:17 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: 53 is not dhcp | 17:17 |
| ikonia | jeremiah_: darn, sorry not you | 17:17 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:netstat -an should be enough for checking right? | 17:17 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: 53 is bind | 17:17 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: well that will show you that something is listening yes | 17:18 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: you can also telnet to the port | 17:18 |
| jeremiah_ | Well then, wish me luck! Lets go try clonezilla out... If i am not back within an hour, lets all hope it worked shall we? | 17:18 |

| johnyquests | ikonia:did. it replies no answer | 17:22 |

| ikonia | johnyquests: what command are you using with dhcping to test it | 17:23 |
| theadmin | daftykins: I mean, there's a bunch of people coming in here running Mint, Backtrack or heck, even Debian, can't help those right | 17:24 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:dhcping localhost | 17:24 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: come on !!!! that's not smart | 17:24 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: 1.) you've already told me it's bound to eth0 - so how is it going to respond on localhost | 17:24 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:sorry :D what should I be doing? | 17:24 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: 2.) you've not even read the syntax of the tool - you have to specify arguments with it | 17:24 |
| unixnotphoenix | all ppc versions though not suppoted officially by canonical... are supported & maintained by the community... so on what basis are u saying its not supported? | 17:25 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:alright..so which interface should i test it from? | 17:26 |

| harddriveproblem | I just installed a new HD and someone both /dev/sdb1 and /dev/sdb are showing up in my /dev/disk/by-uuid folder instead of only the /dev/sdb1 partition - none of my other hard drives do this and I can only assume I made an error along the way while formatting it. Anyone know what I did wrong or what I can do to fix it? | 17:36 |
| jrib | harddriveproblem: I don't understand what you are saying | 17:38 |
| harddriveproblem | when i get a listing of my /dev/disk/by-uuid directory, i see all my drive UUIDs with their respective partitions | 17:39 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: that looks a sane config file | 17:39 |
| harddriveproblem | but, for some reason, this sdb drive shows up twice - once as sdb1 with one uuid, and again as just sdb with a different uuid | 17:39 |
| auronandace | !uefi | TKing | 17:39 |
| ikonia | don't forget to restart dhcpd to get it to re-parse that config file | 17:39 |

| johnyquests | ikonia: oh ok | 17:39 |
| johnyquests | ikonia: i'm doing dhcping -c localhost -s localhost -h [myhardwareid] | 17:40 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:it's okay to run it from localhost right? | 17:40 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: -s localhost will not work !!!! it's listening on eth0 !!! | 17:40 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: the server is listening on eth0 -s is the server, 127.0.0.1 is not eth0 | 17:41 |
| johnyquests | ikonia: I'm running the dhcp server on my machine itself | 17:41 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: so ? | 17:41 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: you've told it to bind to eth0 | 17:41 |
| harddriveproblem | that clear it up some jrib? | 17:42 |
| ikonia | therefore -s argument can't be localhost, as localhost runs on l0 - not eth0 | 17:42 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:i've tried changing -s localhost to -s 192.168.100.1 now...still no answer | 17:42 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: so can you get a client to request an address | 17:42 |
| ikonia | see if the syslog shows a DHCPREQUEST | 17:43 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:my pi is supposed to be doing that...but nothing yet...i don't have another device with me now | 17:43 |
| jrib | harddriveproblem: yes, I understand now though I don't know offhand why | 17:43 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: that looks like something on your network is blocking it then | 17:44 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: I'd suggest disabling any firewalls for the moment | 17:44 |

| drecute | I'm doing an upgrade from 11.10 to 12.04 but I'm experiencing a frozen upgrade at "Configuring libpopt0" | 17:45 |
| johnyquests | ikonia:alright...so use clear iptable rules? | 17:46 |
| ikonia | johnyquests: just for a test yes | 17:46 |
| harddriveproblem | jrib: i can remove it using rm -rf (the drive is empty so i'm brute forcing commands all over the place with it) but it seems to reappear on reboot | 17:47 |
| jrib | harddriveproblem: why do you care it's there? :) | 17:47 |
| harddriveproblem | jrib: because it could be a signal of an underlying problem; the fact its inconsistent makes me uneasy to store sensitive data on it | 17:48 |
| jrib | harddriveproblem: but why would you rm it from /dev then? | 17:48 |
| jrib | harddriveproblem: how did you format the drive? | 17:48 |
| harddriveproblem | jrib: the correct, partitioned label is there as well, as i said - /dev/sdb1. so i'm removing something that shouldnt be a filesystem to the uuid folder | 17:49 |
| harddriveproblem | jrib: i deleted the partitions and created a blank one using fdisk, then use mkfs.ext4 | 17:49 |
| johnyquests | ikonia: i followed this http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/linux-iptables-how-to-flush-all-rules.html , still no reply | 17:49 |

| Walex | johnyquests: sometimes repeat the question... | 18:00 |
| Walex | harddriveproblem: naaah. it does not make partitioning any harder than it is. | 18:01 |
| harddriveproblem | it's giving me warnings about the resulting partition not being properly aligned for best performace | 18:01 |
| harddriveproblem | which i can't find an easy answer to | 18:01 |
| rypervenche | harddriveproblem: I prefer fdisk, but to each his/her own. | 18:01 |
| harddriveproblem | also why can't i specify -1 as the end boundary for partitions :\ | 18:01 |
| johnyquests | alright my question was about configuring the dhcp server on ubuntu..it's not working even though all the rules are set correctly and the server states that it is running | 18:01 |
| harddriveproblem | i prefer fdisk too but someone suggested i try parted to see if it would fix my weird uuid problem | 18:02 |
| uriol | hi | 18:02 |
| martin__ | Hi! I just received this error during boot: "The disk drive for /tmp is not present or not ready yet". It appeared for ~5 seconds, then re-appeared for ~5 seconds again. What could this be? How can I diagnose this? | 18:02 |
| daftykins | johnyquests: use a packet sniffer on the client PC | 18:02 |
| uriol | i can't open firefox, it says it is allready running, but there is not a firefox process in system monitor | 18:03 |
| uriol | :( | 18:03 |
| johnyquests | did that..i was using tcpdump..it doesn't show any DHCPOFFERS | 18:03 |
| johnyquests | or requests | 18:03 |
| daftykins | johnyquests: perhaps you bound the DHCP daemon to the wrong interface | 18:03 |
| Walex | johnyquests: wrong interface sounds very likely. | 18:03 |
| johnyquests | how would i check that? | 18:04 |
| Walex | johnyquests: the general ways to debug daemons is: look at logs, use 'strace' to see what they actually do. | 18:04 |
| johnyquests | i do have a ppp0 interface that is active now | 18:04 |
| Walex | johnyquests: just that one? | 18:04 |
| johnyquests | other than eth0, yeah | 18:04 |
| johnyquests | but dhcpd -d gives listening on eth0! | 18:05 |
| Walex | johnyquests: anyhow, the ISC DHCP3 server can print a lot of stuff in verbose/debug mode that tells you what it is doing. | 18:05 |
| daftykins | ^ yeah run it in non-daemon mode to see what's going on | 18:06 |
| johnyquests | alright | 18:06 |
| daftykins | also check your config, maybe your scope has a typo | 18:06 |
| johnyquests | how do i run it in non daemon mode? just dhcpd? | 18:06 |
| daftykins | google. | 18:06 |
| daftykins | or read its' docs | 18:06 |
| Walex | johnyquests: for example, open a terminal, 'sudo service isc-dhcp-server stop' and then 'sudo dhcpd -f -d' and see what it prints | 18:06 |
| johnyquests | k | 18:07 |
| Walex | johnyquests: standard ways to find docs: 'man -k SOMETHING' and look under '/usr/share/doc/' for the manual | 18:07 |
| martin__ | Hi! I just received this error during boot: "The disk drive for /tmp is not present or not ready yet". It appeared for ~5 seconds, then re-appeared for ~5 seconds again. The error is not causing any problems, I can use the /tmp folder once I am logged in. How can I diagnose this? Thanks | 18:08 |
| johnyquests | alright..it says the same as before...listening on eth0 | 18:08 |
| Walex | martin__: that is exceedingly bizarre... | 18:08 |
| johnyquests | sending on eth0 | 18:08 |
| johnyquests | and also sending on fallback | 18:08 |
| Walex | martin__: check in the '/var/log/' files if something is sending that out. | 18:08 |
| Walex | johnyquests: and what is sending requests? | 18:09 |
| johnyquests | dhcpd's output | 18:09 |
| Walex | johnyquests: oh my... 'dhcpd' is a server. it waits for requests. Which other client system is sending DHCP requests? | 18:10 |
| Walex | johnyquests: if you are running a DHCP server you must have some client system that requests to be assigned some IP address and other parameters... | 18:10 |
| johnyquests | Walex: i have a pi connected to the system via an ethernet cable | 18:10 |
| Walex | johnyquests: perfect. Does 'tcpdump' show its requests? | 18:11 |

| CHIKO | main nate apow dale ni | 18:11 |
| johnyquests | Walex:it didnt before...i'll try again now | 18:11 |
| Walex | johnyquests: if 'tcpdump -i eth0 dhcp' does not show anything, the DHCP server will do nothing. | 18:11 |
| felix_francu | hi, how can i get Xlib/Xfree86 development packages? | 18:13 |
| johnyquests | Walex:Nope..nothing whatsoever on 'tcpdump -i eth0' | 18:13 |
| Walex | felix_francu: 'apt-get cache search development xorg' might help | 18:14 |
| Walex | johnyquests: then your RPi is not asking for any IP addresses. | 18:14 |
| johnyquests | Walex: alright..but the dhcping was also not getting any replies | 18:14 |
| elise0011 | k,l\] | 18:15 |
| Walex | felix_francu: more precisely 'apt-cache search development xorg | sort | less' | 18:15 |
| elise0011 | m | 18:15 |
| Walex | johnyquests: that's another matter. | 18:15 |

| johnyquests | Walex:nope..localhost | 18:15 |
| nekinik | I have some free space. I would like to merge it with /home partition. How to do that? | 18:15 |
| Walex | nekinik: that is usually a bad idea. However if they are contiguous you can reside partition and filesystem with something like 'parted'. It usually works. Hopefully you have backups. | 18:16 |
| Walex | johnyquests: that's not a good idea... | 18:16 |
| martin__ | Walex: None of the files in /var/log contain this error message | 18:17 |
| nekinik | walex, how do I mount it as some /path? | 18:17 |
| Walex | johnyquests: if you can login into the RPi run the DHCP client program manually. | 18:17 |
| nekinik | gparted doesnt show option to assign the path to partition | 18:17 |
| johnyquests | Walex:i'll try that... | 18:17 |

| CHIKO | main nate apow dale ni | 18:17 |

| deadmund | I have a second harddrive in my desktop (currently not formatted). What is the best way to utilize this space considering I don't want to reinstall my OS? | 18:29 |
| handuel | deadmund: is it a hard driver or partition | 18:29 |
| deadmund | handuel: It is an unformatted hdd | 18:30 |
| handuel | deadmund: Ok, you need to look into setting up fstab to use /home on a seperate hdd | 18:30 |
| deadmund | handuel: why move home? | 18:30 |
| handuel | deadmund: easiest to do, and makes most sense | 18:31 |
| handuel | deadmund: most other folders can be needed at boot | 18:31 |
| deadmund | handuel: Why? Then I will have a bunch of empty space on my first hdd (where /home used to be) | 18:31 |
| handuel | deadmund: leaves you lots of room for docs on /home on second drive, and lots of room for more programs on first drive | 18:32 |
| shankstaBytes | hey how can i see if a program is installed in the command line? | 18:32 |
| deadmund | handuel: my / partitions is never going to grow to fill a hdd. | 18:32 |
| deadmund | shankstaBytes: try to run it, do you know the name? | 18:32 |
| handuel | deadmund: in that case don't bother using the second drive | 18:32 |
| th0r | deadmund: you can format the drive and then mount it someplace within home....'data' maybe. You can then use it for large data items like pictures, music, video | 18:32 |
| handuel | deadmund: if there isn't a space issue on the first drive, a second one isn't needed | 18:33 |
| deadmund | th0r: is it proper to mount it in /home/deadmund/ ? Seems it should be in /mnt ? | 18:33 |
| deadmund | I'll follow this guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallingANewHardDrive | 18:34 |
| deadmund | seems legit | 18:34 |
| th0r | deadmund: /home/deadmund would be fine. I would then move all my large data folders to /home/deadmund/data, or whatever you decide to call it. You could also create several partitions on that drive and mount one as /home/deadmund/pictures, one as /home/deadmund/music...etc | 18:34 |

| Slart | Llewxam: was the audio card recognized in earlier versions of ubuntu or this is the first time you've tried it? | 18:54 |
| Llewxam | Slart: was recognized in all earlier versions i've used. been with 10.04 since launch. first time this ever happened. | 18:54 |
| Slart | blues_: shouldn't systemd or whatever "run-things-in-proper-order"-framework handle this? I'm assuming you don't just want to start it some time later but that you're waiting for something.. network connection perhaps | 18:55 |

| Slart | Llewxam: try it with a livecd, if that doesn't work I would report a bug against the kernel.. of course google around to see if it's a known problem | 18:55 |
| Liam` | would installing another desktop work? (cinnamon maybe?) | 18:56 |
| Liam` | if cinnamon even works on the current release | 18:56 |
| trism | blues_: this is assuming deluge still hasn't be converted to upstart, doesn't seem to be from a quick look at the package | 18:56 |
| Llewxam | Slart: already tried with livecd had the same issue. not just with ubuntu livecd's but also with other distros. | 18:56 |
| blues_ | trism: no i dont think it has been | 18:56 |
| Slart | blues_: I would look into writing a small script that starts your torrent client and make it wait until that nfs share is up and running.. a for loop with a delay and some kind of "check if this file exists" logic | 18:56 |
| trism | blues_: yeah bug 1096267 seems to confirm | 18:57 |
| ubottu | bug 1096267 in deluge (Ubuntu) "Please provide an upstart job" [Wishlist,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1096267 | 18:57 |

| shankstaBytes | i have a prorgam installed in /opt how can i remove it? | 18:58 |
| minimec | Liam`: If switching means, that you still use your 'old' /home directory (I have a seperate /home partition), I would try to reset unity... http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/how-to-reset-unity-compiz-in-ubuntu-12-10-and-13-04 | 18:58 |

| Llewxam | Slart: any way i CAN detect if it's hardware related? | 18:59 |
| Slart | Llewxam: well.. you said it worked in earlier versions of ubuntu, try to get an older livecd/live usb and try it again | 19:00 |

| Llewxam | Slart: i'll dig around for older versions. gotta have one around here some place. and no, no windows. ever. | 19:01 |
| JPeterson | SonikkuAmerica: the question refer to the key after D has been selected | 19:03 |
| Slart | Llewxam: here's to hoping it's a easy fix for the kernel developers.. so they can get back to fixing my network drivers =) | 19:03 |
| Llewxam | Slart: here's to hoping. thanks. i'll keep on tinkering. hopefully fix it too. | 19:04 |

| kristenbb | hi, I have just installed ubuntu 13.04. My left edge of the screen, instead of being whatever is on the left (such as the unity panel color) is filled with about 2 pixels of purple color, from top to bottom. If I do a screenshot, it doesn't show these 2 pixels. Is that expected, and if not, how to get read of it ? | 19:05 |
| myrmidette | Walex, nevermind then | 19:05 |
| myrmidette | Walex, the troubleshooting page wasn't much help | 19:05 |
| Walex | myrmidette: don't believe you. | 19:05 |
| JPeterson | the answer is: the viewer is less, the key that navigate back is therefore q | 19:05 |
| Walex | myrmidette: for example does it show something when you say 'aplay -L'? | 19:06 |
| myrmidette | yes, plenty | 19:06 |
| felix_francu | back again with this problm | 19:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | JPeterson: What happens after the D key is [ cat $changes_list | less ], where $changes_list is the list of what I just mentioned. Once you've seen the list, it cycles back to the y/n/d prompt. | 19:06 |
| felix_francu | cannot create directory `/usr/local/lib/wine': Permission denied | 19:06 |
| felix_francu | make: *** [/usr/local/lib/wine] Error 1 | 19:06 |
| JPeterson | SonikkuAmerica: i didn't know that q navigate back | 19:06 |
| Walex | felix_francu: just use the WINE precompiled packages. Don't do it yourself. | 19:06 |
| myrmidette | Walex, I went through all the steps and got mostly-normal responses | 19:06 |
| myrmidette | Walex, everything works when I play something as root | 19:07 |
| felix_francu | triyng to get darksiders to work... | 19:07 |
| Walex | myrmidette: that's one of the questions in the troubleshooting guide. | 19:07 |
| myrmidette | Walex, and I'm in the audio user group. Problem is in probably a config file | 19:07 |
| SonikkuAmerica | JPeterson: That's part of [ less ]; the q key will send you back to the y/n/d prompt when you're inside [ cat $changes_list | less ] | 19:07 |
| Walex | felix_francu: I have bought a Crossover license, it is cheap and it works pretty well. | 19:07 |
| myrmidette | I just don't know where or what it is | 19:07 |
| JPeterson | why are these options missing | 19:08 |
| JPeterson | 4. show a side-by-side difference between the versions | 19:08 |
| JPeterson | 5. show a 3-way difference between available versions | 19:08 |
| Walex | myrmidette: it is not a config file probably if you cannot hear anything with 'aplay ....' | 19:08 |
| felix_francu | is any version of wine prepatched with raw3 and double buffer? | 19:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felix_francu: Even better, install PlayOnLinux. | 19:08 |
| JPeterson | why don't is the diff not colored? | 19:08 |
| blues_ | trism: thanks, i think that has me taken care of, the piece i was missing was that second part from the recipe link | 19:08 |
| myrmidette | Walex, any other ideas for why root can play but I can't? | 19:08 |
| Walex | myrmidette: have you tried the 'speaker-test' program? | 19:08 |
| felix_francu | ok, will try that | 19:08 |
| SonikkuAmerica | felix_francu: [ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:playonlinux/ppa ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install playonlinux ] | 19:08 |

| usr13 | shankstaBytes: It will be gone next time you login (I think...) | 20:57 |
| usr13 | sharadM: Not if it's been re-formatted. | 20:57 |
| kostkon | shankstaBytes, check in ~/.local/share/applications | 20:58 |
| usr13 | sharadM: ... but if it's a dual boot system, or if Ubuntu was installed "alongside" MS Windows, no problem, your datta will still be there, (on the other partition(s). | 20:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | hallo. looking to clone a win7ultx64 boot usb to a slightly smaller one using dd. I understand that if the target drive is smaller you have to take some extra steps. could anyone please give me a hand here? | 20:59 |
| usr13 | sharadM: sudo fdisk -l #To see what partitions you have. | 20:59 |
| sharadM | usr13: m afraid it was formatted | 21:00 |
| usr13 | sharadM: Ok. Never mind then... | 21:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | usr13: Ah, thankya. I could not remember the exact syntax on that one. | 21:00 |
| sharadM | usr13: so is it impossible to recover my lost data now? | 21:01 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | sharadM: depends, but it will be a tricky proposition to do so. | 21:01 |
| ScatterBrain | HA! Looks like the issue was on my ISP end. I moved those IPs from one server to another and they thought it was spoofing or something. | 21:01 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | sharadM: say you had a text file you are trying to recover. boot a live usb/cd on that system, and grep the partition that housed the file for some of its contents (could take a while depending on drive size) | 21:03 |
| daftykins | fission6: it syncs slowly if you don't manually set it | 21:03 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | sharadM: its kinda a dark art. I've never done it myself. Yeah, it could still be possibly recoverable, but with an entire reformat from ntfs/fat to ext4 i doubt anyone short of a pro could get it. | 21:06 |
| fission6 | usr13 do i add sudo service ntp start | 21:06 |

| NickG | I've never done upgrades to be honest. I've always done fresh isntalls | 21:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | guideX: what MonkeyDust said. a separate /home partition is your biggest friend in upgrading/distro hopping :P | 21:50 |
| Liam` | yeah, that doesn't work | 21:50 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Liam`: sudo reboot? | 21:50 |
| MonkeyDust | ntzrmtthihu777 +1 | 21:50 |
| Liam` | well, it attempts to shut down, then goes back to the login screen | 21:50 |
| Liam` | and THEN shuts down | 21:51 |
| NickG | Liam: cold shutdown | 21:51 |
| NickG | Oh | 21:51 |
| NickG | Good stuff then | 21:51 |
| Liam` | lemme try rebooting it and seeing if it does it again | 21:51 |
| Liam` | ok, so it only happens when i type "sudo shutdown now" from terminal | 21:53 |
| Liam` | if i use gnome/unity/cinnamon and it's menu option, it works fine | 21:53 |
| Liam` | thanks for the help. | 21:53 |

| evelyette_ | when I boot the 32-bit ubuntu livecd I get this error: ubuntu +livecd kernel panic not syncing vfs wn-block ... why ? | 21:55 |
| evelyette_ | I'm pressing "Install ubuntu" ... | 21:55 |
| evelyette_ | I'm not sure why the livecd wouldn't boot ... I've just downloaded the new 12.10 iso and burned it to cd | 21:55 |
| evelyette_ | any ideas anyone? | 21:55 |
| OPSJono | Any ideas on what? (I've just joined) | 21:56 |
| evelyette_ | when I boot the 32-bit ubuntu livecd I get this error: ubuntu +livecd kernel panic not syncing vfs wn-block ... why ? | 21:56 |
| phillyj | evelyette_: maybe it is corrupted during burning? | 21:56 |
| Jean-Pierre_Doll | maybe cd is broken | 21:56 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | evelyette_: how did you burn the iso? | 21:56 |
| beneter | evelyette_: have you checked hashes? | 21:56 |
| phaedra | evelyette_, 12.10 insn't really the new one. 13.04 is the latest. are you sure you're not using the 13.10 iso? | 21:56 |
| evelyette_ | I downloaded 12.04 because it has LTS | 21:58 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | and unless you have a genuine reason, i generally discourage jumping to the latest version simply because its the latest. | 21:58 |
| phaedra | evelyette_, run a md5 check on the iso to make sure it's not corrupted | 21:58 |
| evelyette_ | phaedra, is there any good tool for that on Windows? | 21:59 |
| === ikonia_ is now known as ikonia | ||
| OPSJono | If you want a good ISO burner for Windows (free) try 'astroburn lite' | 22:00 |
| OPSJono | Really good program and it's never let me down | 22:00 |
| beneter | OPSJono: WTF? | 22:00 |
| phaedra | evelyette_, let me check. not sure about a win version | 22:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | evelyette_: if you'r burning an iso from windows i find burncdcc to be excellent. it made my transition to ubuntu painless :P | 22:00 |
| OPSJono | Oh, sorry I missed some of the chat, thought that Evelyette was asking for a program on windows to burn an iso, my mistake | 22:01 |
| evelyette_ | I'm using cdburnerxp | 22:01 |
| phaedra | evelyette_, you can try this for md5 on win. http://www.winmd5.com/ | 22:02 |
| histo | evelyette_: md5sum the iso and the cd your are burning. Also do you have a 32bit CPU or 64bit? | 22:02 |
| evelyette_ | it's 32bit | 22:02 |
| evelyette_ | where can I get the original MD5 ? | 22:03 |
| ipkaf | hello ppl | 22:03 |
| OPSJono | evelyette_: It should be listed on the download website | 22:03 |
| ipkaf | ubuntu everything is possible | 22:03 |

| evelyette_ | it's not: I'm downloading from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 22:04 |
| OPSJono | Yeah, I just checked and it's not there for me either - I could of swore it used to be listed on the download page | 22:04 |
| ipkaf | well my question is : | 22:04 |
| ipkaf | i got this file http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746463/ + this script http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746466/ | 22:05 |
| evelyette_ | yeah, the hashes are the same | 22:05 |
| beneter | evelyette_: what hardware are you trying to bootß | 22:06 |
| MonkeyDust | ipkaf that would be for the #bash channel | 22:06 |
| ipkaf | well bash ppl don't understand MonkeyDust | 22:07 |

| ipkaf | i don't think really | 22:08 |
| ipkaf | well i got a very basic question MonkeyDust | 22:08 |
| ipkaf | i got this list + this script http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746466/ | 22:09 |
| MonkeyDust | ipkaf if the #bash people don't understand it, it's not basic | 22:09 |
| ipkaf | i got this list http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746463/ + this script http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746466/ | 22:09 |
| ipkaf | i m looking for a feature | 22:09 |
| ipkaf | each time you update the list | 22:10 |
| evelyette_ | beneter, it's AMD sempron 2800+ | 22:10 |
| ipkaf | the script able to do 3 things CHECK / ACTION / CHECK | 22:10 |
| MonkeyDust | ipkaf you may want to submit it on a forum or so, it's beyond this channel | 22:10 |
| ipkaf | how to do ? | 22:10 |
| beneter | evelyette_: shoud work.... | 22:12 |
| beneter | *should | 22:12 |
| evelyette_ | what should I do, MD5 are correct and the system results in " kernel panic not syncing vfs wn-block" ... | 22:12 |
| histo | evelyette_: Why aren't you using 64bit version of ubuntu btw? | 22:12 |
| evelyette_ | histo, 32-bit processor | 22:13 |
| histo | evelyette_: You should check the md5sum of the cd you burned | 22:13 |

| ipkaf | do you get MonkeyDust ? | 22:14 |
| ipkaf | it's a very basic question | 22:15 |
| ipkaf | i got a list with a script | 22:15 |
| beneter | histo: how is he supposed to do this? ^^ there are no hashes avaliable for the burned cd, are there? | 22:15 |
| ipkaf | each time you update the list the script should able to run that 3 command | 22:15 |
| ipkaf | so that we got : one for CHECK one for ACTION and one for CHECK | 22:15 |
| ipkaf | how to do ? | 22:15 |
| beneter | k sry, i was wrong | 22:16 |
| evelyette_ | histo, can I check that on windows ? | 22:16 |
| histo | beneter: it's the same hash when you use has the proper size on the disk | 22:16 |
| beneter | histo: have seen it now, sry ;) | 22:16 |

| onebitxajax | beneter: no it's simple don't boot | 22:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | onebitxajax: I hope to Richard Stallman you meant GRUB | 22:20 |
| SonikkuAmerica | onebitxajax: Anywho, have your Live image handy? | 22:21 |
| beneter | onebitxajax: have you tried installing it agian, or is that no option? | 22:21 |
| onebitxajax | SonikkuAmerica: GRUB | 22:21 |
| onebitxajax | beneter: yes i can | 22:21 |
| onebitxajax | SonikkuAmerica: yes | 22:21 |
| beneter | evelyette_ have you tried updating your bios? | 22:21 |
| beneter | eveylette_ or an other OS? | 22:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | onebitxajax: Boot from it and connect to the Internet. | 22:22 |
| onebitxajax | SonikkuAmerica: | 22:22 |
| onebitxajax | ok | 22:22 |
| evelyette_ | beneter, no, but I'm not sure that I want to get into that ... the CD should work, why doesn't it ? | 22:23 |
| beneter | evelyette_ maybe your hardware is not compatible to ubuntu | 22:23 |
| SonikkuAmerica | onebitxajax: Then, in a terminal: [ sudo apt-add-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair ; sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get install boot-repair ; boot-repair & ] | 22:23 |
| evelyette_ | beneter, I've had ubuntu 10.10 installed beforehand | 22:24 |
| beneter | evelyette_ then try installing with an older kernel... maybe it works that way... | 22:25 |
| onebitxajax | SonikkuAmerica: and after that use boot-repair? | 22:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | onebitxajax: I included the command to run Boot Repair in the cmd line above, but yeah. | 22:25 |
| ipkaf | anyone understand my question ? | 22:25 |
| SonikkuAmerica | ipkaf: We do. /join #bash | 22:26 |
| MonkeyDust | ipkaf wrong channel, bash scripting is for #bash | 22:26 |

Anyone know how to fix this? | 22:40 |
| histo | b3rz3rk3r: Improper refresh rate? | 22:41 |
| scx | MisterX: do you have symbolic link to /boot/grub/grub.cfg? For example /etc/grub, /etc/grub.cfg or /etc/grub.conf? | 22:41 |
| MrBIMC | guys, how do i delete line from file without sed command? | 22:41 |
| MisterX | scx: researching for statistics or what? ;) | 22:41 |
| MrBIMC | or append a symbol at the beginning of a line? | 22:41 |
| MisterX | MrBIMC: man sed ? | 22:42 |
| MisterX | ah, sorry, without | 22:42 |
| MrBIMC | I can't se sed | 22:42 |
| scx | MisterX: i need to help my friend but i dont have ubuntu | 22:42 |
| statl | MrBIMC: if you can identify that line uniquely, simply use grep -v | 22:42 |
| MisterX | scx: what's the exact problem? | 22:43 |
| onebitxajax | SonikkuAmerica http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746623/ | 22:43 |
| b3rz3rk3r | histo, seems fine. 60 on monitor and card settings | 22:43 |
| onebitxajax | SonikkuAmerica: what i must do? | 22:43 |
| MisterX | scx: ls /etc | grep grub → grub.d | 22:43 |
| scx | MisterX: grub menu is not displaying or not display "recovery mode", but in /etc/default/grub everything is fine | 22:43 |
| tolland | on my old hp laptop nc6400 which I upgraded to 13.04, it doesn't boot off the 3.8 kernel, (I think due to graphics issues), but does off the 3.2 | 22:44 |
| LoCoZeNoz_ZUE | hi, currently as i am forced to use you distro, i need to spawn a getty on start on serial. How do i do that (ubuntu doesnt seem to have initab like normal people do) | 22:44 |
| MrBIMC | statl: example? | 22:44 |
| MisterX | scx: checked if /etc/default/grub is the file where grub takes the info from? | 22:44 |
| scx | MisterX: no | 22:44 |
| MisterX | like, changed something it does display and see if it's shown correctly? | 22:44 |
| tolland | I tried installing the intermediate kernels and see which version actually broke it, but it says "no candidate for install" | 22:44 |
| tolland | any pointers on forcing installation of older kernels that are not listed | 22:45 |
| MisterX | there should be some display-names where you can put in all the text you want | 22:45 |
| MisterX | @scx | 22:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | onebitxajax: Let me look at it. | 22:45 |
| statl | MrBIMC: grep -v "some content of that particular line (or regexp or whatever grep accepts)" myfile | 22:45 |
| MisterX | scx: i'd configure the menu via /boot/grub/menu.lst | 22:46 |
| MrBIMC | that lists all lines that are not contain regexp'd phrase | 22:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | onebitxajax: Reboot | 22:46 |
| scx | MisterX: so you have GRUB v1? | 22:46 |
| scx | GRUB v2 use grub.cfg | 22:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !grub | MisterX | 22:47 |
| ubottu | MisterX: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 22:47 |
| MisterX | SonikkuAmerica: thanks but you could have referred that to scx who's actually having the issue with grub | 22:47 |
| MrBIMC | the whole story looks so: i need to append "#" symbol to "qemu.hwkeys=0" line in build.prop file | 22:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | MisterX: Oops | 22:48 |
| statl | MrBIMC: open it in your favorite editor and add it ;) | 22:48 |
| MisterX | SonikkuAmerica: ;) | 22:48 |
| MrBIMC | and i cant' use sed cuz android's busybox does not have it | 22:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !grub1 | scx | 22:48 |
| ubottu | scx: grub 1 is the default boot manager for Ubuntu releases before 9.10 (Karmic). Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - GRUB how-tos: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/GrubHowto - See !grub for Karmic onwards | 22:48 |

| MrBIMC | command will be launched from my app | 22:49 |
| scx | SonikkuAmerica: i know | 22:49 |
| scx | (in Ubuntu) | 22:49 |
| scx | EL3-EL6 still use GRUBv1 | 22:49 |
| MrBIMC | i know, that's weird to use console commands in android apps, bt i need to | 22:50 |
| statl | MrBIMC: Wouldn't it be better for the app to read the file and write it again including the changes instead of launching shell commands? | 22:51 |
| statl | MrBIMC: But there is of course a shell solution :) | 22:51 |
| MrBIMC | i prefer shell soltion | 22:52 |
| MrBIMC | solution | 22:52 |
| Mage_Dude | Anyone familiar with DHCP and PXE when booting nodes for MAAS? | 22:52 |
| MrBIMC | so, i need equivalent of sed '/qemu.hw.mainkeys/d' build.prop" | 22:53 |
| statl | echo "#" > tmp_file && grep "qemu.foo" file >> tmp_file && grep -v "qemu.foo" file >> tmp_file && mv tmp_file file | 22:53 |
| statl | might actually work :D | 22:53 |
| S4L | Stupid q: doing release upgrade via command line, hit details on obsolete packages, dont know how to get out of details list to answer the prompt | 22:54 |
| Mage_Dude | Will the nodes only get their boot image from the DHCP server? Or will they get just the IP from DHCP, then try to contact the MAAS server for the boot image? | 22:54 |
| scx | MisterX: could you show me: find /boot/ -type f | xargs file | 22:54 |
| MrBIMC | will try now | 22:54 |
| MisterX | scx: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746660/ | 22:56 |
| MrBIMC | yeah, i could actually jst push every line except "qemu to a new file" and tthen rename that file into original name | 22:56 |
| MrBIMC | hm | 22:56 |
| scx | MisterX: thx | 22:57 |

| Jordan_U | jeremiah_: There is no simple way of cloning the hard drive your root FS is on, while the system is running. | 23:00 |
| statl | jeremiah_, histo: therefore, the sector sizes have to be equal, don't they? | 23:00 |

| MrBIMC | ok, that's good | 23:01 |
| histo | Jordan_U: It's not a terrible idea if you know what you are doing | 23:01 |
| Jordan_U | jeremiah_: Does the system in question need to be running, or do you just not have external media to boot from? | 23:01 |

| jeremiah_ | Jordan_U, I have liveCD, but it takes forever to boot, and i loads of errors | 23:02 |
| Jordan_U | jeremiah_: It sounds like you have a bad liveCD then. Did you try the integrity check at boot? What liveCD are you using? | 23:03 |
| histo | Jordan_U: You have to do what you have to do sometimes. He is just being lazy though and it's not worth the headaches he is going to create. | 23:03 |
| jeremiah_ | Jordan_U, Ubuntu 12.04 IOS. It isn't bad, because i burned it multiple times, with different liveCD files, all taking about 5 minutes to boot. | 23:03 |
| histo | Jordan_U: he could mount ro and image | 23:04 |
| OerHeks | sure, live cd can take 5 minutes to load, that is almost normal | 23:05 |
| histo | jeremiah_: you can use a lighter livecd just to imgae | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | jeremiah_: Did you do an md5sum check of the iso itself? Did you actually try the boot time check (which will check that the iso was good, the CD is good, *and* your CDROM drive is good)? | 23:05 |
| jeremiah_ | I don't have to computers to use, thus flopping between live and hdd, takes forever. | 23:05 |

| jeremiah_ | k | 23:08 |
| jeremiah_ | i am getting it as we speak. | 23:08 |
| histo | S4L: can you paste the error | 23:08 |
| histo | jeremiah_: may I ask why you are trying to clone the drive to something else? | 23:08 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, Upgrading hdd. | 23:09 |
| jeremiah_ | to a much larger one. | 23:09 |
| S4L | I'm on my phone due to being in the middle of an upgrade. No error, just cant get out of details screen | 23:09 |
| histo | jeremiah_: you're going to have to expand the partition later on and grow the filesystem as well. | 23:09 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, And after a year of personalization, and tweaking, i don't want to start from anew. | 23:09 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, I don't need to expand it actually. I plan on duel booting, so i needed a larger hdd. And i got one. | 23:10 |
| histo | jeremiah_: ahh | 23:10 |
| Jordan_U | jeremiah_: How big is the new drive? If it's over 2 TiB you may need to convert from an msdos partition to GPT. | 23:11 |
| === krups_v2 is now known as krups | ||
| jeremiah_ | Jordan_U, Nope, its a 260 gb solid state | 23:12 |
| S4L | I know I've done this to myself before. do-release-upgrade really needs to make it obvious how to get out of the damn details screen | 23:12 |
| Jordan_U | elisa87: If you were the one that created the image I would expect you to know why it contains what it does. | 23:13 |
| Alabulie | hello. anybody knows if it's possible install MonoDevelop 4 under Ubuntu 12.04 ? | 23:13 |
| raven_ | mounted windows share using cifs: no permission to rename files - how to solve that? | 23:13 |
| histo | S4L: I'm not familiar with the details screen you are talking aobut. | 23:14 |
| histo | raven_: where did you mount it to:? | 23:14 |
| elisa87 | Jordan_U: sudo chroot /mnt/mount_x86/ --> chroot: failed to run command '/bin/bash': No such file or directory | 23:15 |
| raven_ | histo, local folder in mount | 23:15 |
| histo | raven_: does your user have permissions to the directory you mounted to? | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | elisa87: How did you create this image? | 23:16 |
| MonkeyDust | raven_ first on my mind: windows is installed on ntfs, but it's mounted on ext, that may be the cause... i guess you have to add an option to cifs, accordingly | 23:16 |
| S4L | histo: when you do a release upgrade and it asks you if you want to remove obsolete packages, thw options are yes, no, details. I hit details to see what would be removed, cant get back to answer the question. If i could send you a pic from my phone i would :-D | 23:16 |
| raven_ | histo, locally yes | 23:16 |
| raven_ | MonkeyDust, which one ? | 23:17 |
| histo | S4L: is this a curses screen or GUI | 23:18 |
| === Shadow is now known as Guest53211 | ||
| raven_ | histo, oh wait - i have to mount with sudo of course so the folder is owned by root | 23:18 |
| jeremiah_ | Alright, lets see if this ios boots fast, and does what it is suppose to | 23:18 |
| histo | raven_: I have no idea what you mean by locally. Since you won't provide details I can't help you. | 23:19 |
| === x_ is now known as YabbaDabbaDoo | ||
| raven_ | histo, i did | 23:19 |
| histo | S4L: have you tried hitting esc key or tab to get the ok or cancel buttons if it's curses. | 23:19 |
| raven_ | just read | 23:19 |
| histo | raven_: No thanks | 23:19 |
| spacebarbarian | why do i get permission denied trying to ls this dir, im in the SVN group "drw-rwSrw- 3 root svn 4.0K 2012-04-07 13:19 svn" ? | 23:20 |
| S4L | histo: this is a booted to command line http://i.imgur.com/Lv8QU75.jpg . | 23:21 |
| histo | S4L: press "q" | 23:21 |
| histo | spacebarbarian: cuz you don't have x permissions | 23:22 |
| S4L | See what i mean? Such a simple damn thing and it cant even make it obvious. Thanks histo | 23:22 |
| histo | S4L: it's using less or more to display the output there | 23:22 |
| spacebarbarian | histo, i need execute to list a directory o_O ? | 23:22 |
| spizzo | After installing ubuntu 13.04 and visiting a couple of websites, firefox prompts me to install some of them, which... I'm not sure what that's referring to. | 23:22 |
| histo | S4L: actually less | 23:22 |
| histo | spizzo: to get into a directory it needs to be x | 23:23 |
| spizzo | I got a little notif in firefox asking if I wanted to install youtube.com for easier access and such | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | elisa87: To chroot into another system you need to have an actual system to chroot into. You can't just chroot into an empty directory, or one without libraries and executables in the correct places. Given that your image doesn't have a "/bin/bash" it's entirely expected that chroot can't find /bin/bash (and there are many more files than just /bin/bash needed to enable you to chroot). | 23:23 |
| alumno | hello? | 23:23 |
| MonkeyDust | raven_ is this useful? look for ntfs on this page http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man8/mount.cifs.8.html | 23:23 |
| MisterX | when i login, i have to start xfwm4 manually. any idea where i can do that automatically? (running Xubuntu) | 23:23 |
| Jordan_U | elisa87: If you want to create a proper image/directory you can look into debootstrap. | 23:24 |
| raven_ | MonkeyDust, tnx i think its solved by the -o gid and uid options | 23:24 |
| MonkeyDust | great! | 23:24 |
| spacebarbarian | histo, what do you mean it needs to be x ? | 23:25 |
| histo | spacebarbarian: execute | 23:25 |
| spacebarbarian | give it 755 ? | 23:25 |
| spacebarbarian | ah ok | 23:25 |
| histo | spacebarbarian: yeah or chmod ug+x /whatever/directory | 23:26 |
| spizzo | I think what I'm discovering is unity lenses | 23:27 |
| histo | spizzo: What is your question? | 23:29 |
| lehthanis | hey all. I'm trying to install Ubuntu Studio 13.04 and I'm getting a black screen. | 23:29 |
| HypothesisFrog | hi. Bit of a newby question. I want to set up my bouncer so it launches automatical after bootup. But of course, I don't want it to have root privileges. How do I do that? | 23:29 |
| spizzo | histo, I just had no idea what the firefox prompt asking if I wanted to "install reddit" meant. It didn't make sense. | 23:29 |
| elisa87 | Jordan_U: I want to create a disk image which is bootable and boots linux and then I want to mount it to /mnt/mount_x86 | 23:29 |
| lehthanis | I choose either try or install, and it does a few things, then goes black and monitor goes to sleep. I've tried setting nomodeset and that doesn't work | 23:29 |
| elisa87 | Jordan_U: are you aware of any good tutorial? | 23:30 |
| jeremiah_ | Grml got stuck, and after 7 minutes i gave up | 23:30 |
| histo | spizzo: web apps I believe they are calling them. | 23:31 |
| histo | elisa87: debootstrap to /mnt/mount_x86 | 23:32 |
| elisa87 | Jordan_U: histo: can you take a look at what I've done http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746724/ ? thanks | 23:35 |
| werad | Could someone share me this file: sys/socket.h | 23:35 |
| elisa87 | also I don't know how to do this histo: elisa87: debootstrap to /mnt/mount_x86 any tutorial? | 23:36 |
| werad | I don't use ubuntu currently but I need to do some researches. | 23:36 |
| histo | elisa87: let me find you an easy one. | 23:36 |
| histo | elisa87: actually I created a video awhile back hold up | 23:36 |
| elisa87 | histo: also please let me know if the steps done in http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746724/ are ok | 23:37 |
| histo | elisa87: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xiM9GOKvTI4 | 23:37 |
| angelite | hello? | 23:38 |
| histo | elisa87: watch my video if you want. and I linked reading to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Without_CD | 23:39 |
| jeremiah_ | I need help partitioning my flash drive. whenever i do it in gparted, i get an error | 23:39 |
| angelite | Jeremiah, is the flash drive mounted? | 23:39 |
| histo | jeremiah_: what error? | 23:39 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, It says, error formating flashdrive. | 23:40 |
| histo | jeremiah_: How do you want it partitioned? and can you paste.ubuntu.com the output of parted -l && mount | 23:40 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746735/ | 23:42 |
| histo | jeremiah_: lsblk please | 23:42 |
| raven_ | find: how to ignore files beginning with _ or -? | 23:43 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746743/ | 23:44 |
| histo | jeremiah_: is /dev/sdb your usb that are you are trying to work with? | 23:44 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, Yes. | 23:45 |
| histo | jeremiah_: sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb output please | 23:45 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5746748/ | 23:46 |
| histo | jeremiah_: so you want just one big partition on this thing? | 23:47 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, Yes. | 23:47 |
| histo | jeremiah_: sudo umount /dev/sdb2 && sudo cfdisk /dev/sdb then delete all partitions and create a new one and write it. | 23:47 |
| elisa87 | histo that was a great video..thanks anyway I just need to do the debootsrap stage? right? | 23:47 |
| histo | jeremiah_: I think your error is from /dev/sdb2 being mounted | 23:47 |
| Jordan_U | elisa87: Another option is to install Ubuntu normally in qemu-kvm and use that image for what you want. | 23:48 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, Ah | 23:48 |
| histo | elisa87: if you want to boot to it...You will have to install a kenrel and setup networking fstab etc... | 23:48 |
| histo | elisa87: if you just want to chroot to it you can just debootstrap you don't need the kenrel | 23:49 |
| histo | s/kenrel/kernel/ | 23:49 |
| elisa87 | histo: I need to have the whole linux-x86 image inside it | 23:49 |
| histo | elisa87: What is the ultimate goal? perhaps there is another option... | 23:50 |
| elisa87 | As I mentioned I need a bootable kernel histo which I can chroot into | 23:50 |
| elisa87 | histo I am using a simulator which does full system simulations and I need to have a bootable disk image (.iso) for mounting on a specific folder | 23:51 |
| histo | elisa87: then you will need to follow all steps. debootstrap DOES NOT:install a kernel, setup networking, setup fstab, install grub etc.... You would need to do all those if you want to boot to it. | 23:51 |
| elisa87 | by all the steps,,,which manual are you referring to? histo ? I am a newbie! | 23:52 |
| jeremiah_ | It says it is unknown in gparted | 23:52 |
| jeremiah_ | And i can no longer mount it | 23:53 |
| elisa87 | histo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromLinux#Without_CD this? | 23:53 |
| jeremiah_ | histo, it says it is unknown in gparted, and i can no longer mount or open it | 23:54 |
| elisa87 | also in sudo fdisk /dev/sda can I use /dev/loop0 instead? I am really afraid to mess up with my own system | 23:54 |
| histo | elisa87: the video or that site | 23:54 |
| histo | elisa87: I thought you said you already have a partition mounted? | 23:55 |
| Jordan_U | histo: Do you see any downside for elisa87 to just installing Ubuntu via kvm? "kvm -hda disk.img -cdrom ubuntu.iso -boot d" | 23:55 |
| elisa87 | histo yes I have a partition mounted but it doesn't have linux inside it~ is that OK? so I am confused! If I have a mounted partition which is not bootable which step should I continue from Jordan_U | 23:56 |
| histo | Jordan_U: no, I think he would be able to install to physical disk rather than disk.img also | 23:57 |
| histo | elisa87: so now you debootstrap CODENAME /path/to/mountpoint | 23:57 |
| elisa87 | Jordan_U: I have downloaded a Ubuntu disk image but I don't know how to make use of it in my mounted disk image | 23:57 |
| histo | elisa87: is there a reason you are trying to install this way? | 23:58 |
| Jordan_U | histo: That could be done via qemu as well, though it's dangerous if you accidentily mount the same filsystem in the host and guest at the same time. | 23:58 |
| elisa87 | this is the simulator script for creating an empty disk image which I followed and showed you the result https://github.com/andysan/gem5/blob/master/util/gem5img.py histo | 23:58 |
| histo | elisa87: What is this going to be used for and why are you installing ubuntu in this fashion? | 23:59 |
