[00:24] Does running a solid state drive for Vbox install of Windows significantly tax a mobo over the long run (using it days on end), and reduce it's longevity, compared to using windows on it's own solid state drive natively?

[00:26] mikodo, vbox is acessing a virtual hd file on the drive. so it dosent know its a ssd or not. Linux has tweaks for fstab to help ssd ussage a bit. === megabitdragon is now known as zz_megabitdragon [00:26] Dr_willis: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5750162/ [00:27] Dr_willis, Thank you. [00:27] elisa87, if you are just using 4 partions.. i would setup 4 primary partions next time you install. guess sda5 is your / since its the only linux partion that can be / ;) [00:28] elisa87, and that UUID matches the one given by the error message?

I tried creating ~/.siggen.conf that says "DACFILE /dev/snd/by-path/blabla" [00:30] keeps trying to use /dev/dsp.sorry if its not an ubuntu question [00:30] Dr_willis: sda5 is linux one and it's UIUD is the same as I get as an error in mounting /dev/disk/by-uuid/3ad ... on /root failed invalid argument (ALERT! /host/256 doesn't exist) and I don't know what to do?

[00:31] Dr_willis: and I have done all these http://paste.ubuntu.com/5750057/ none were successful! [00:32] argh! i have a problem: ive got a mini laptop with a dead screen, and it was a PITA to get ubuntu installed (did this a year ago), now that I need the laptop, I cant get it updated anymore - it has ubuntu 11.04 [00:32] dist-upgrade gives me 404 [00:33] mikodo, use this link on my SSD, https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd [00:33] how do i make a usb installer of 13.04 [00:33] williammanda, Thank you sir. [00:33] Guest1450, unetbootin is one app of many [00:34] wilee-nilee: i have run across it but really don't understand how, most posing say to make a live installer, but i have the iso and just want to put it on a usb and make it bootable [00:35] wilee-nilee, Wonderful, "Easy Linux tips project" are always on the money. Good job! [00:36] Guest1450, Unetbootin has a disc image tick, you then navigate to the download and choose it and run it. [00:36] Guest1450: there are instructions on ubuntu.com [00:37] mikodo, It is a thorough explanation with different variables, such as if you have a separate home. [00:38] Guest1450: multisystem is a nice program [00:38] Guest1450, What OS are you doing this in? [00:39] wilee-nilee, I'll have a separate /mount/DATA drive., symlinked to /root installs on the SSD. So should be good. [00:41] wilee-nilee, I just have to get my head around sharing folders from virtual drive to my /mount/DATA drive before symlinking them back to the /root installs. Should be fun. [00:42] so I was trying to setup ubuntu with a ssd but moved /usr to a partition on a hdd (realizing this didn't help the speed too late). Can anyone confirm my assumption that I should not move /usr to the hdd but only move the /usr/local? If so, I guess I just deal with the space being eaten up when installing files === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [00:44] epsilonorion, You mean the .local in home? [00:44] no /usr partition /usr/local partition [00:44] folders [00:44] sorry [00:44] pretty small folder here /usr/local [00:44] I was working on splitting folders into separate partitions so I can reduce the amount of space and writes used on the ssd [00:44] 20MB [00:45] wilee-nilee: agreed [00:45] I moved opt, then thought I needed to move /usr as well, however, when I did the entire boot slowed down [00:45] by that I assume I should leave /usr on the ssd [00:45] and only move opt and home onto the hdd [00:46] epsilonorion, You can tweak the setup for a ssd that is your best route really, unless you have a a lot of data best run from a disc HD. [00:46] wilee-nilee: huh? [00:46] I am tweaking the ssd [00:46] I am trying to figure out the best way to [00:46] askubuntu.com and the various blog sites mention ssd tweaks. [00:46] I think theres only like 2 or 3 options to add to /etc/fstab for most people [00:47] Dr_willis: thanks, I am doing those, but some suggestions were moving folders to the hdd as well [00:47] epsilonorion, Here is a link I posted earlier for SSD tweaks. https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd [00:47] specifically opt [00:47] my whole linux box is running on a ssd i dont see much to gain by moving things to a non ssd if i got the space [00:47] Same here [00:47] it will just make things slower to load. [00:48] is an ssd os faster? [00:48] thanks, I will definitely take a look at those (some I have seen other places). I would love to, but lets assume I dont have the space (not everyone does) since I have windows installed as well [00:48] mine is [00:49] could someone please explain to me how to completely remove the OpenJRE/JDK system of packages?? [00:49] ! jdk [00:49] my system boots in like 10-15 seconds to the Ubuntu desktop from SSD. [00:50] ! jre [00:50] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [00:50] zephyr28, See the wiki the bot shows. [00:50] Dr_willis: is it just a regular install.. and will usb be just as fast? [00:50] I know keeping everything on the ssd would make it faster, but i can't. I need to figure out the best folders to move. I figured opt and home were primary [00:51] im on a acer mini and its not that fast so any way to speed it up would be awesome [00:51] Thanks, wilee-nilee. Can't develope for Android with OpenJDK [00:51] running from a USB flash drive will be slower then a hard drive [00:51] epsilonorion, if you want slow access to your home :) [00:52] my whole ubuntu system is on a 128gb SSD [00:52] things like video bulk storage - i got a extra 3TB hard drive. [00:52] Dr_willis: again, assuming I have no choice since I also have windows, lots of programs that I absolutely need to run fast, etc. on my ssd [00:52] r [00:52] fitting windows totally on a SSD can be the issue. :) its so huge compared to linux [00:53] thanks though, I understand what you are saying, but I just need to know what the best folders are to move over. [00:53] totally depenss on what work you are doing. [00:53] as to whats best [00:53] if the user is doing a lot of file access and work, then putting their home on the non ssd would hamper them [00:54] if all they do is web surf.. it may not matter much at all [00:54] well, my assumption is that lots of programs install in opt. If I install manually, etc, I can install them at home. I can treat this like my windows setup. Fast programs go on ssd program files folder, slow programs go on hdd [00:54] epsilonorion, lots install to /opt/ ? actually i have NONE in /opt at all. [00:54] stuff from the repos defainatly do not install to /opt/ [00:54] eh, a lot of my development programs do [00:54] other than that is is /usr [00:54] /opt/ is just sort of a dumping ground for stuff. ;) [00:55] so it depends on if you need to access those in /opt/ fast or not [00:55] its rather trivial to link /opt/ or other / dirs to somewhere on the non ssd :) [00:56] hi guys [00:56] you could even move just some users homes to the hd. [00:56] which is the channel for problems to open virtualbox on the ububtu 13 [00:56] ? [00:57] #vbox or here - would be my guess [00:57] and of course the forums and askubuntu.com [00:57] i was checking on the foruns did all that i can [00:57] but it did not work [00:58] Dr_willis: single user laptop. Only 30-40GB if lucky of my ssd can be dedicated to ubuntu and such. That is my predicament. That is why I plan on moving some stuff to the hdd. Home was primary, thought about moving opt then since, opencv, ros, etc are installed there [00:58] i dont even do any development work.. and 30gb for my whole system would be a bit tight. ;) [00:59] but i do have like 20+gb of just wallpapers and icons ive collected over the years. === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity [01:00] 20 gigs of wallpapers would take a long time to look through [01:01] i got them from my amiga days collection even. :) [01:01] back then a 600x400 image was Huge. ;P [01:01] cool [01:01] 16 color leetness! [01:02] i created a new user because my initial one got corrupted. now i can not sudo in the new account, i get: hey, i can't sudo, I get this error in my new user account: nickgermaine is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported. [01:02] disregard the "hey, i can't sudo, " [01:03] you have to add the user to the proper group. [01:03] ok thanks [01:03] how did you create the user? [01:03] through the user interface in xfce [01:03] i still have to wonder what 'got currupted' in the original user. [01:03] you dident delete the origial user did you> [01:04] thanks i got me added [01:04] Would a stripped down XP in a VB .vdi, be safe even after EOL. I'll of course make a snapshot of the original to replace the production one, if/when it hoses. Should reduce the resources used than the Windows 7 .iso I have. Right, or will it not really matter much, as long as I have the horse power, which I do? I guess I could follow a guide to strip down Windows 7 too? [01:04] i don't. i didn't really do anything, it was fine, then it started crashing ever since 13.04 [01:04] everything was fine in 12.10 [01:04] anyway thanks i got it fixed, didn't know that was a "group" lol [01:05] nickgermaine, reset their settings in theor home back to defaults via renameing the .config and other setting files (or move them to some backup dir) [01:05] yah i cleared the ./cache and ./config directories and it fixed it for a day [01:05] thanks you guys [01:05] cherio [01:08] hello [01:08] mello [01:11] anyone figured out how to fix screen rolling on 1920x1080 yet? [01:11] dr_willis what's mello means [01:11] does qjoypad work in ubuntu 13.10? If so, where is the setup option gone? [01:13] anyone figured out how to fix screen rolling on 1920x1080 yet? [01:14] rolling meaning what exactly? [01:14] 1920x1080 works fine here [01:14] from bottom to top the screen rolls [01:15] According to documentation on sourceforge http://qjoypad.sourceforge.net/doc/c113.html I should be able to click the tray icon and get a setup menu... this option however is not present at all in the menu. What went wrong? [01:17] BlackDalek, on Kde or unity? [01:17] the system tray icon has been undergoing changes int he last few releases. its possible the app is using the old 'system tray' and not the indicator-applet method that it should be using these days [01:17] green, that would make an awesome screen saver, old school analogue cathode ray tube out of adjustment effect [01:18] overdub makes it almost impossible to read though [01:20] Dr_willis, unity... the icon is present in the indicator-applet "tray"... I searched and can't find evidence that anyone else has had a problem with qjoypad in 13.10... maybe it is just me? [01:21] Dr_willis, the icon is there, just right clicking it or left clicking it gives me exactly the same menu (not the setup menu). [01:24] My church has a bunch of ancient PCs in a computer lab, running Windows 2000, but they can't get decent browsers anymore for that OS. I would like to recommend they convert them all to Ubuntu. Problem: The ISO I downloaded doesn't fit on a CD-ROM, it's too big. Is there a smaller version somewhere? [01:25] 12.10+ comes on dvd. and requires a PAE kernel. You can install from USB, or 12.04 still fits on a cd. [01:25] oops a PAE enabled CPU i mean. ;) [01:26] These computers won't be able to boot to anything but a CD. [01:26] wad: you think ubuntu can run on one of that ancients pc that came with windows 2000/millenium/whatever installed¿ there are Xubuntu and Lubuntu [01:27] I'll download a 12.04, stick it on a CD, and try that. :) [01:27] for an OLD pc.. you may want to use Lubuntu [01:28] ive upgraded to 13.04 and now im having issues with gnome classic not killing the processes when I close them out [01:32] wilee-nilee, Sorry for earlier, willammanda got my "Thank you sir" when I thought I had tabbed to you. Just noticed now. Thank you, sir! [01:32] hehe, ;) [01:34] wilee-nilee, I read the guide. It will be very helpful. :) [01:35] sorry, by processes I mean firefox [01:35] mikodo, Seems thorough, I looked through others and have some others saved. [01:39] When I examine /etc/resolv.conf, it tells me not to edit the file by hand because it will be overwritten. What should I edit to change my DNS servers, then? [01:39] Nevermind. Answered my own question. [01:40] i just use the network manager gui to change them [01:40] or set my router to hand out the ones i want to use. :) [01:40] Dr_willis: This is on a headless home server with a static IP, not using DHCP in any fashion. [01:41] network manager has settings for that also i recall and a cli interface. [01:41] but my router can assign a static ip based on MAC :) so i dont need to do it tht way either. [01:42] Dr_willis: The correct answer in my situation, in case the NSA is listening and needs to reconfigure something, is to edit the appropriate dns server line in /etc/network/interfaces. === rotoss is now known as NSA_Listening [01:43] You're correct!

[01:56] Thanks Dr_willis [01:56] use of a swap partition/file is commonplace [01:56] AutoMatrix: Not explicitly. Swap or ramdisk really. :-) [01:56] Er, sorry, ramdisk doesn't apply to your question. [01:57] windows has that weird faster-boot-thing for usb/sd/ but it seems tobeen a lot of marketing hype tht no one every users [01:57] bindy that's possible but I ain't no Windoze on my engines [01:58] I'll try to document myself about that [01:58] that's allready a direction which is more precise than "read all the manuals" ;) [01:59] AutoMatrix: I'm unconvinced that there's a lot of value in "here, have more fakeRAM on a USB 2 bus" [01:59] Will there be any problem if I have single letter custom commands [01:59] AutoMatrix: A swap file on disk is going to be better than that. [01:59] Corey, what do you mean ? won't work ? [01:59] AutoMatrix: It'd *work*, it'd just be dog slow. [02:00] AutoMatrix: Accessing your actual drive is going to be a lot faster than using a USB stick. [02:00] OK got it, Corey , that's a bit what I feared [02:00] AutoMatrix: If you're that constrained, I'd upgrade the RAM if you're able. [02:00] AutoMatrix: Consider replacing your 2.5" HDD with a solid state drive and using it for swap. [02:00] don't think so, besides it's a ver badly damaged thing ... [02:01] does not even got a monitor anymore ;) [02:02] erpo, that could be a way out ... but would you do that, personally ? UI heard those things were damn costly :( [02:02] AutoMatrix: Let's back up a bit. :-) What's the actual problem you're rying to solve? [02:03] Corey, speed ! and I'd like to see if this thing is still worth to function as a kismet-server [02:03] Corey, I'm planning a trip of a couple of thousand miles and would like to be traced by people who careµ [02:04] AutoMatrix: Yeah, throw more RAM into it, it's dirt cheap these days. [02:05] th0r, hello dear, is it possible we met on the #gpsd or #kismet channels a long time ago , [02:05] corey, will do [02:05] AutoMatrix: I doubt it [02:05] no problem, thor, I wanted just to be sure ;) [02:08] AutoMatrix: Yes, I have an SSD in my laptop. The only reason is that I won it in a raffle. [02:09] is compiling from sources only way to fix the imagemagicks "no decode delegate" problem, or is there a easier way?

Any ideas on a fix? [02:25] I can't even go into alt+f2 the system crashes too fast [02:25] Di: Do you have a support question? [02:25] aperture, You get a grub prompt right? [02:26] wilee-nilee: no, I get the ubuntu startup and the prompt to decrypt. That's about it [02:26] Once the system crashes I'm presented a scren with a blinking underscore [02:26] *screen [02:27] aperture, and ctrl-alt-f1 does not get you a tty? [02:27] at the cursor [02:27] aperture: Hold shift during boot (or if this is a UEFI system then press escape about once per second during boot) to get to the grub menu then try the recovery mode entry. [02:28] jordan >> thanks for that tip, I can use that too [02:28] wilee-nilee: nope, nothing happens at the cursor until I hit the power button and it starts the shutdown sequence [02:28] jordan >> so glad to see that nothing has changed in so many years I did'nt use XChat ;) [02:28] Jordan_U: when I started up the computer I held down shift the whole time, but that didn't work [02:29] even after decrypting the drive holding shift had no effect [02:29] UEFI is disabled from bios also [02:30] aperture: Does your keyboard work in the boot firmware screens? [02:30] Jordan_U: my keyboard works then, yes [02:31] Keyboard works in bios, ubuntu startup (tested by hitting delete to see the status screen), decryption phase, and after decryption (by doing ctrl+alt+f2 to see a terminal for about 3 seconds before crash occurrs) [02:32] note I'm in a live disc right now, so I do have access to the partition where the os is [02:32] aperture: It's very odd then that holding shift doesn't bring up the grub menu then.

Should the grub menu show before the decryption prompt? [02:32] aperture: Yes. [02:33] aperture: You can force the grub menu to show at boot by creating a file /boot/grub/custom.cfg containing just "timeout=-1" (without the quotes). [02:33] ahh [02:33] I'll do that then, just in case === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ [02:35] Jordan_U: you said in /boot/ right? I have nothing there... [02:36] aperture: Since you have a separate /boot/ partition you need to mount that and the path will be "/mountpoint/grub/custom.cfg". [02:37] is compiling from sources only way to fix the imagemagicks "no decode delegate" problem, or is there a easier way? [02:38] delac: what is "imagemagicks no decode delegate"? [02:38] (problem) [02:39] Jordan_U: I see grub.cfg, but not custom.cfg... [02:39] aperture: You need to create the file. [02:40] update-grub [02:40] Jordan_U: okay, done [02:40] now I just reboot? and the grub prompt should load? [02:40] jrib: imagemagick is a image editing program and the "decode delagates" are something that enable imagemagick to modify different types of images like jpg, png etc.. [02:41] aperture: The grub menu, yes. [02:41] delac: yes, but what is the problem you are having? [02:41] man this grub issue i had was weird... UEFI w/ windows 8.... odd, but fixed at least [02:41] Jordan_U: Thanks for the help. I'll reboot now and try it out. From there I'll fix the graphics card driver to something more stable [02:41] jrib: the imagemagick does have the delegates, but still gives "no delegates" error when editing [02:41] aperture: You're welcome. [02:42] delac: what is your full input and output (use a pastebin)? [02:43] fuck ubuntu [02:43] just switched to debian [02:43] yay [02:43] hi guise [02:43] synthetix: Please watch your language and stay on topic. Good luck with Debian. [02:43] there is #debian now for you [02:44] Jordan_U, thx [02:44] how do you, say, autorun a command in terminal on boot up? [02:44] i feel like i'm back in 2006 [02:44] everything is so perfect :) [02:44] FoShizz: what command? [02:45] fml [02:45] x11vnc -safety -pswd [02:45] synthetix: you still in #ubuntu [02:45] just saying [02:46] anyone? [02:46] jrib: http://pastebin.com/iXsuUV1p [02:48] Can someone tell me how to autorun a command in terminal upon booting? [02:49] FoShizz: STuff it into /etc/rc.local [02:49] in a .txt? [02:50] FoShizz: What? No. [02:50] delac: you're sure your syntax is correct? [02:50] In what? This is my 2nd day on ubuntu. I don't know :( [02:50] jrib: pretty sure. and it happends on much simpler commands too [02:50] I'm putting this with visudo at the end of the file http://scrot.it/424 yet I get a syntax error === phelix is now known as Guest23864 [02:51] heyho [02:52] how do I get easily a list of all registered users from my ejabberd? [02:52] delac: what ubuntu version? [02:52] corey? [02:52] jrib: 12.04 [02:52] delac: apt-cache policy imagemagick output? [02:53] FoShizz: Open /etc/rc.local (file) and write your command (line) and save it. [02:53] oh ok [02:53] how do i do that from terminal? [02:54] jrib: http://pastebin.com/QPmAACXY [02:54] would i gksudo it since it needs a gui? [02:54] FoShizz: You could use one of the terminal based text editors if you want, like: vi, vim, pico, nano, etc... [02:55] would i have to apt-get those? [02:55] FoShizz: you likely don't want to start x11vnc before X comes up so /etc/rc.local will not do you much good iirc [02:56] where do i put it then jrib? [02:56] FoShizz: actually, rc.local should be executed last so it might work. Ideally, you would setup a proper upstart job === Logan_ is now known as Guest68 === Guest29778 is now known as Logan_ [02:57] please explain? im new. [02:57] delac: is there anything "special" about the input? I just created a png using scrot and tried your command without any issues. Albeit I'm on 12.10 === Logan_ is now known as Guest27218 [02:58] !upstart | FoShizz [02:58] FoShizz: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ [02:58] FoShizz: it's probably hard if you are new. So use rc.local and come back to it when you are able to [02:58] cool ill read on it [02:59] FoShizz: What command are you trying to put into rc.local? [02:59] jrib: no, I have tried it whit several images of different types. Nothing works. [02:59] x11vnc -safer -usepw [02:59] FoShizz: "echo x11vnc -safer -usepw | sudo tee -a /etc/rc.local" [02:59] delac: actually, if out.png does not exist, it does give me issues [02:59] would i apt-get install upstart? [02:59] But there's probably an init script for an x11 VNC server. Just sayin'... [02:59] jrib: oh? [03:00] delac: use "convert" instead of "mogrify". WHat happens? [03:00] jrib: same [03:00] delac: can you pastebin? [03:00] ok i did it corey. im rebooting now [03:01] heyyyo very nice people! Why virtual terminal is used? By typing ctrl + alt + F1?

Just curious [03:02] tharkun: you're welcome [03:02] aladdin: it's used mostly when your X is broken ;) [03:03] jrib: http://pastebin.com/yDaUdpJz [03:03] it didn't work corey. i had to manually start x11vnc [03:03] jrib: aha. good to know. thanks mate ;) [03:03] Is it possible to select several files/directories at the same time in Midnight Commander? [03:03] delac: let me try on a 12.04 machine [03:04] Where is memtest and the DVD check on the latest Ubuntu installer DVD? [03:04] FoShizz: What version of Ubuntu? [03:05] xubuntu actually [03:05] 12.04 [03:05] FoShizz: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1622843 ggoes into some detail. === ldlework is now known as mokau [03:05] delac: interestingly enough my DELEGATES on 12.10 includes png [03:05] delac: output of « readlink -f $(which convert) »? [03:06] delac: oh yours does too [03:06] jrib: as I said [03:07] Corey: /etc/rc.local has "exit 0" line by default. So if you append to it.. then..? [03:07] NSA_Listening: Ah, that's right, Ubuntu has that set, doesn't it... [03:08] delac: works fine here on 12.04 [03:08] jrib: what exactly does that readlink do? [03:09] delac: it just follows symlinks [03:09] delac: 8:6.6.9.7-5ubuntu3.2 is my imagemagick package version on 12.04 [03:09] im not sure if what that thread was doing is what im trying to do. that seemed way more complicated than what i need. [03:09] jrib: same as mine [03:10] FoShizz: Try this command: "sudo sed -i 's/exit 0//g' /etc/rc.local; sudo reboot" [03:10] delac: i'm on i386 though (on 12.04 anyway) [03:10] upstart looks like a bundle of fun to learn as well [03:10] jrib: what symlinks did you want me to follow? [03:10] FoShizz: or you know, just place it before the exit 0 line [03:10] k [03:10] delac: it was just in case /usr/bin/convert was a symlink [03:10] delac: or whatever your shell runs when you call convert [03:12] jrib: well, its not symlink [03:13] didn't work again :( [03:13] my network manager indecator is not available in panel, how to add in panel.Previously it was working but now its stoped workin.

[03:25] delac: make sure you don't have an "out.png" too [03:25] i.e. the file does not exist [03:26] FoShizz: Then try to reboot, does it work? [03:26] mukti: you might need to build the local, ie: echo "ja_JP.UTF-8 UTF-8" | sudo tee -a /var/lib/locales/supported.d/local; sudo dpkg-reconfigure locales; [03:28] mukti: or you might just need some fonts on your local system [03:28] no im still having to go to terminal and enter it. [03:29] trism: that would allow me to continue using en_US.UTF-8 (or whatever I'm currently using), right? It would just add it as another supported locale? [03:30] mukti: yep, you'd still have the en locale, though it depends on what you're looking at, swiching to ja_JP.utf-8 will work fine for most command output [03:31] mukti: but if you are looking at files, they may be in shift_jis, so may still look garbled with some work [03:31] Is there an RPD for ubuntu to get to a Window Server machine remotly?

[04:16] are 64 bits operating systems supposed to work on virtualbox? [04:16] FoShizz: You could go with .xinitrc [04:17] sam113101, You might try #vbox as well. [04:19] ok. do i simply add the commands i want> [04:19] ? [04:22] On the website you linked to there seemed to be some extra information. "x11vnc -logfile $HOME/.x11vnc.log -rfbauth $HOME/.vnc/passwd -forever -bg" [04:23] FoShizz: Just put your line there and try it out, these additional parameters are for x11vnc script.

[06:11] you'd need to do pressed installs without either, but for one machine that would require significant effort [06:12] I thought FAI === Pressed install? [06:12] FAI ?

[06:16] and why are you the "root" user ? [06:16] the root user should be locked on ubuntu [06:16] ikonia: i did logged in to root intentionaly [06:16] so that i can send mail from guest to root [06:16] and see the message from root [06:17] shadej: sorry, I'm still not seeing a problem [06:17] shadej: you have no mail waiting for you....that is not a problem [06:17] ikonia: but i must havfe [06:17] why must you have ?

[06:33] they are read from the bash_history file [06:33] (assuming your using bash) [06:33] ikonia: if your not willing to help then why say anything at all? and if you wanna be respected i would try treating people with respect first [06:36] sobczyk: not really [06:36] diverdude: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/088 [06:39] shadej: hand tight and im sure someone will help you... dont let one ignorant person push you away.. this is a great place to get help and help others [06:40] sere: hah.. ok [06:40] it's really not that hard, google for telnet mail test and there are millions of results === Guest41210 is now known as wheaties466 [06:43] Ben64: i agree.. google is my best friend but when he could have just pulled a link or told him how to fix it .. instead a saying google it or getting into a jerry springer debate is just wasting peoples time [06:43] sere: sorry, if I'm not willing to help with what ? [06:43] ikonia: you don't want to walk someone through testing a mail server with telnet [06:43] not everyone knows how to use google too [06:44] probably shouldn't be running a mail server if you can't google [06:44] sere: they have setup a mail server, I'm sure they are capable of googling "mail server telnet test" [06:44] or words to that effect [06:44] there are already enough open relays around [06:45] sere: I've explained that his tests are not valid, given him two test senarios and asked him to google the exact commands for one as I'm not going to do it for you....that is helped him, if he can't google with that level of info, then running a mail server is not a good idea [06:45] Ben64: i checked my mail server using telnet [06:45] Hey guys!!! could you pls help me problem with " A plugn is needed to display this content install plugin" I cann't use youtube [06:45] sere: you're welcome to give him the exact commands after you've googled for him [06:45] Tare: flash plugin ?

(this on a single line tells Postfix that the DATA is complete) [06:46] Tare: flash player is quite unreliable like that, I'd consider using the html5 test [06:46] shadej: that is not a valid test [06:47] shadej: unless I have missunderstood and you've put a valid email address in for root and setup an alias [06:47] as you're testing mail getting sent to root, correct ?

[08:31] roadkill: I asked a question and admitted I was OT. EOT for me. [08:33] somsip: Yet you're still responding. You tried to say "you've never seen that before" while following it up with an affirmative of my explanation. How would you know what I said was true if you've never seen it before? And yet, you keep responding when you have "more important things to do." Just admit it, you were trying to pretend you knew better and got caught on it. [08:36] Hi, I'm cross-compiling a program.

This is what I could find on your printer: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CanonCaptDrv190 [08:41] joel135: should be in the gcc packages. you can get them installed by typing sudo apt-get install build-essential [08:42] joel135: A rough outline of what's included in the build-essential package: http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/build-essential [08:42] It's all the essential packages needed for building in debian/ubuntu [08:42] roadkill, I have LBP6000 and it's working with Ubuntu, but I wonder if LBP6020 will working too [08:43] jony_easyrider: If the LBP6020 mentions anywhere CAPT support, it likely will as that's Canon's proprietary driver for Linux [08:44] hello [08:44] is there a repo for php 5.5? i would like to update 5.4 to 5.5 ?

[08:51] admin0: yeah I think screen would be the way to go [08:53] admin0: or ssh someuser@someserver | tee -a somelog will do it if you don't want to use screen [08:53] hi [08:53] that would do i guess .. I don't want to use screen .. or switch from tmux .. but most of the time would be just ssh user@host [08:53] rohan: is the process a zombie?

[09:01] Good [09:01] what about MBR [09:02] bray90820: yes [09:02] hum [09:02] what would you recommend for a 4tb backup drive [09:03] gpt, partition sizes are limitted to 2gb in mbr iirc [09:03] 2tb [09:03] so i should use MBR [09:03] no [09:03] let me resay that [09:03] should i use GPT [09:03] MBR stores partition sector information using 32-bit LBA values. This LBA length along with 512 byte sector size (more commonly used) limits the maximum addressable size of the disk to be 2 TiB. Any space beyond 2 TiB cannot be defined as a partition if MBR partitioning is used. [09:04] from archwiki [09:04] So GPT? [09:04] bray90820: so yes, you need to use gpt [09:04] so i guess you just cant create a partition past 2tb [09:04] ok [09:04] gpt it is [09:04] hi. background and emblems not showing anymore, what to do?

Running as root (sudo usb-creator-gtk) allows me to "Make Startup Disk", but after a while the program just exits (after the "i [09:07] nstalling the bootloader" status bar) without comment or notice of success. *Did* I just create a valid startup disk? Or did the program just crash? And why won't it work when running as user? [09:08] can Ubuntu see software raid volumes created in windows [09:08] Baribal: While I don't know why you're having the problems you are, you should not run GUI programs with sudo; use gksudo instead. [09:08] i'd use virtualbox [09:08] !gksudo | Baribal [09:08] Baribal: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [09:08] clcto: the desktop settings seem not to be effective anymore. is rm ~/.cache/sessions and .../.config a good idea? [09:09] bray90820: What type of software RAID? [09:09] Raid 0 [09:09] ~/.config is used for multiple applications usually [09:09] bray90820: I mean, is it FakeRAID, Windows Dynamic Disks, something else? [09:10] hum [09:10] I am not sure [09:10] can anyone please help me with monitor resolution issues due to nvidia display driver? [09:11] hi - i've installed xserver-xorg-video-intel to run the 82865G intel GPU chip on my box, but can't get Unity 3D working - have I missed something? [09:11] bray90820: How are you creating the array? [09:11] clcto: ~/.config/xfce4/ [09:12] Ahh nevermind looks like it's hardware raid [09:12] idk what the issue is, sorry [09:12] so i will just create a simple volume [09:12] fat32 would be ok right [09:12] it prob would be [09:13] bray90820: just go with ntfs [09:13] but i want to use it with ubuntu [09:13] fat32 4GB filesize limits [09:13] ubuntu works with NTFS? [09:13] bray90820: yes [09:14] What ate the NTFS limitations in ubuntu [09:14] none [09:14] bray90820: It's rare that people have hardware RAID and don't know it. True hardware raid is very expensive. [09:14] bray90820: I wouldn't be performing disk checks in linux with NTFS is all [09:14] thats probably not exactly true but you can read write === bipul is now known as Kevin-Mitinik [09:14] fat32 doesnt even have partitions [09:14] clcto: yes it does [09:14] permissions [09:14] is what i meant [09:15] lol [09:15] I do have Hardwar raid i payed like $200 for this box [09:15] its 3am ... [09:15] 4AM for me [09:15] bray90820: If you only payed $200 for the motherboard then it almost certainly does not have true hardware RAID, but rather FakeRAID. [09:15] It's an external box [09:16] With esata [09:16] bray90820: OK, then it likely is true hardware RAID, in which case the OS doesn't need any special support as it will appear like any other drive. [09:17] Yes [09:17] bray90820: You can use MBR with 4096 sector sizing to get around the 2TB limit if you need to. But I would just go with GPT which should be supported by Windows Vista and up [09:18] I went with GPT [09:18] bray90820: Now you just have to decide on filesystem [09:18] Yes [09:18] ntfs [09:18] bray90820: You can read ext3 in windows with added in driver. Or you can read ntfs in linux with added in driver so choice is yours === Kevin-Mitinik is now known as bipul [09:19] histo: bray90820: ntfs-3g has been shipped with almost all distros for years now, so it's odd to call it an "added in driver". [09:19] I will prob create it as NTFS back everything up then restore it in ubuntu and then switch it to ext3 and rebackeverything up [09:20] bray90820: why? [09:20] Why not === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [09:22] why do you release daily builds? [09:23] snyp, only the development version provides daily builds. [09:23] What would be better for ubuntu ext3 or ntfs [09:24] \LIST [09:25] snyp: cdimage.ubuntu.com [09:26] How do I get the build version of an app using apt-get so that it gracefully installs and uninstalls using apt-get? [09:26] s/get the build/build the latest [09:26] bray90820: If you're only considering use by Ubuntu, then ext3 is better (supports *NIX style permissions, can be repaired in Ubuntu, probably better performance). === dean|away is now known as dean [09:27] snyp: if you want to build from source and use apt-get you can use something like checkinstall. However you will find most recent apps in the repos [09:27] bray90820: ntfs has issues with high cpu usage with large files and dealing with fragmentation === rob_p_ is now known as rob_p [09:28] histo, hmm... so the in-between-LTS versions get the latest versions of apps as they are released? [09:28] !latest | snyp [09:28] snyp: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [09:28] snyp: close to it [09:28] i have asus silent en210 silent graphics card. please help, how do i install the drivers for this? [09:29] snyp: if you want bleeding edge apps run a distro like arch or debian unstable [09:29] histo: when you say large files how big are you talking [09:29] arch ftw [09:29] bray90820: you would have to conduct your own testing to determine the impact on cpu usage on your system. It's just a known issue [09:29] Alright [09:30] arch's latest policy broke my system, so i am back to lubuntu [09:30] because i have some movies that are like 4GB [09:30] snyp: you will find that ubuntu is quite up to date though on the non lts releases [09:30] snyp: what the move from /bin ? [09:30] yeah [09:30] snyp: did you read the news? [09:30] snyp: That happens from time to time with arch that is why you need to read their news page prior to updating Syu [09:31] i like lubuntu though, and i am not moving to arch anytime soon [09:31] snyp: What is it that you want something that is stable or cutting edge? [09:31] just want bug-free app [09:32] hi i am unable to print from ubuntu 13.04 help ! [09:33] neither local nor through router printing is happening [09:33] my router has a usb port and i can connect the printer and print from my windows laptop over wifi [09:33] but the same is not possible from ubuntu? [09:34] histo, if a bug is reported, there's a chance it will get fixed in an update right? [09:34] even if i connect the printer locally to the ubuntu machine i am unable to print [09:34] i have the linux driver downloaded from the canon website but still i am not able to print [09:34] that is sort of my reason for newer versions of apps..

[09:35] there is no error configurint the printer anywhere, it also accepts the command but does not print [09:35] Ben64, Ok === wizonesolutions_ is now known as wizonesolutions [09:35] Ben64, the printer is canon mf3010 i am running ubuntu 13.04 amd 64bit router is dlink dsl2750u [09:37] Ben64, There is no problem configuring the printer, no error or anything drivers have a 64bit deb file so no problem installing them but the printing does not occur? [09:38] Can somebody confirm or deny that usb-creator-gtk simply exits silently when a boot/install stick is successfully created? [09:39] thunder1212: try this? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingPrintingProblems [09:43] i have an ASUS EN210 silent graphics card driver for my ubuntu. how do i install these drivers? please help [09:49] Hi, I was using the latest LTS but I found it unbearably slow, I switched over the fedora which was slow but not as much but then after upgrading to the latest version it got slow too, I thought to myself I had to have slow computer or something so I switched back to ubuntu (the newest stable version) that I will upgrade some harware components if it's going to be really bad. To my surprise it now runs amazingly fast and smooth, probably better than ever before [09:50] vl4kn0: most likely video driver issues [10:04] Do we have any Home Theater product which is running on Android?

[10:41] yes [10:43] JPeterson: cdimage.ubuntu.com [10:43] JPeterson: I wouldn't like to say, presumably the repo's for 10.04 will still be there to give the server version (which doesn't go eol until April 2015), but I wouldn't expect to find anything else prior to 12.04 [10:43] JPeterson: No you can't get eol releases via net install [10:43] JPeterson: all though there is old-releases.ubuntu.com repo [10:44] JPeterson: is there a reason you want to net install a version that isn't supported?

[10:45] !hello [10:46] urbanslug: pretty sure codeblocks compiles on the fly in the background, dont know how to do that in vim. but write a makefile [10:46] and it will only compile what has changed, not everything and then in vim you can !make [10:46] !info linux-image-generic lucid | JPeterson [10:46] JPeterson: linux-image-generic (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.

[10:48] urbanslug: no, if you write a good makefile, it will only recompile the files that have changed [10:48] I think it is a video driver issue ...

[10:52] ActionParsnip, I was running precice and carried out a normal apt-get update then upgrade then I updated the distor itś self [10:53] clcto that make file is just made of the commands you give when compiling. [10:53] ActionParsnip, I ran a apt-get dist-upgrade [10:54] urbanslug: pretty much. but it only runs g++ -c on the .cpp files that have changed ...

[12:12] Pac_Man: you need to put your access rules in /etc/squid/squid.conf [12:12] dmavroid: are you trying to speed up the unity search cause i have a fix for that [12:12] samgabbay: i have no unity thats my problem :P [12:13] dmavroid: did yoyu try to install the driver ???? [12:13] If i make, but in all of the tutorials explain how to allow access to the computers on your network, but does not say how to allow access to any IP that you want to connect [12:13] dmavroid: unity should work fine with the open source drivers... It should also work fine with the legacy catalyst driver, or the current catalyst driver. [12:13] samgabbay: ooo yes!!! [12:13] adamk: it doesent work [12:13] Sure it does. I've used it. [12:13] dmavroid: What GPU, and what driver are you currently using? [12:13] dmavroid: i did the samething as you and yes it ruines unity just reinstall ubuntu without installing the drivers [12:14] histo: Why did it got removed? [12:14] adamk: you cant fix it cause its mobility radeon and its not compatible with the open drivers i suggest using the default ones [12:14] adamk: it works with xorg but not with fglrx drivers. i also tryied to install the drivers manually and i get a message saying ""the system is running at low graphics [12:15] dmavroid: Wait, you have a hybrid GPU, right? [12:15] samgabbay: ok but i have an overheating problem as well [12:15] dmavroid: i did the same and dude theres simply no way to fix it just reinstall ubuntu and do not install the drivers but if you wanna speed up your unity i have something here for tyou to do after your installation http://pastebin.com/xwDmzgCV [12:15] Hi, I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 and want to permanently toggle the way my 'fn'-key on the keyboard works. "echo 2 > /sys/module/hid_apple/parameters/fnmode" does the trick temporarily but if I try to put "options hid_apple fnmode=2" into /etc/modprobe.d/apple.conf it is not set at bootup. [12:15] dmavroid: is the issue after installing the graphics? [12:16] adamk: yes!!!! [12:16] samgabbay: yes! [12:16] Pac_Man: Look in the document I quoted above, point 3.) [12:16] dmavroid: reinstall ubuntunlike i sayd [12:16] dmavroid: Right, and my final suggestion was to use the intel GPU and turn off the radeon GPU using ACPI. [12:16] dmavroid: i did the same and dude theres simply no way to fix it just reinstall ubuntu and do not install the drivers but if you wanna speed up your unity i have something here for tyou to do after your installation http://pastebin.com/xwDmzgCV [12:16] If i put acl all src 0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0 [12:17] Why reinstall Ubuntu? Just remove the proprietary drivers... [12:17] Screw it... I'm done with this conversation. [12:17] adamk: you cant dude [12:17] samgabbay: do you have an overheat problem as well? [12:17] M4he: could add the command in /etc/rc.local [12:17] M4he: above the exit 0 line [12:17] 2013/06/10 06:17:17| ERROR: '0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0' needs to be replaced by the term 'all'. [12:17] 2013/06/10 06:17:17| SECURITY NOTICE: Overriding config setting. Using 'all' instead. [12:17] dmavroid: no but i had no unity and my fix was to simply reinstall everything from scratch [12:17] ActionParsnip: Thank you! I will try that. [12:17] and speed up the unity search and system with this paste i made here http://pastebin.com/xwDmzgCV [12:17] Pac_Man: You want to give all IPs access? [12:18] ActionParsnip: when you say command, you mean the echo line, don't you? [12:18] yes [12:18] samgabbay: i will do that thank you mate! thank you a lot [12:19] dmavroid: pleasure but like i said dont forget to do this to have a faster unity [12:19] http://pastebin.com/xwDmzgCV [12:19] :) [12:19] I want you or any user of any party can connect [12:19] dmavroid: im sorry theress no way to fix it other than reinstall but follow the pastebin and it should be better [12:19] :) [12:19] Pac_Man: You should probably put "acl all src all" [12:19] dmavroid: i tried myself to install the graphics and it never works for mobility radeons cause there not compatible with the opensource drivers [12:20] Pac_Man: The first "all" is just a name [12:20] samgabbay: okok! i have spend one week on this thing and i was ready to drop linux and go back to windows..but if this works it will be my pleasure to stay with the team. is there any possibility that amd will fix the problem? [12:20] Pac_Man: The second "all" replaces "0.0.0.0/0.0.0.0" [12:21] samgabbay: any suggestion for the temperature? i have heard for jupiter should i try it?

[12:51] rohan: start it back up however you originally did, theres no "unkill" === Multiply is now known as multiply [12:56] Hello [13:00] join === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x === q_ is now known as Phryq [13:06] hi. I am currently trying to PXE boot Ubuntu 13.04 desktop. In the booting process it is claimed that /cdrom does not exist. Is this correct? Should I change stuff to /media or something? [13:08] vs001 ~ $ dpkg-reconfigure console-data | this reconfigures keymap... where would i check what keyboard is set currently ? where's the file ? [13:19] hi all. i've a wireless adapter with chipset rtl8187 that on my win8 works perfectly but in ubuntu it doesn't seem work, the signal power is too weak while in win8 is power [13:19] so can someone say me where is the problem? driver? [13:21] demonio, depends on which driver I presume. native or wrapped. Native drivers can usually be tweaked regarding signal strength but that might heathen up the device making it less reliable and may reduces it's lifetime [13:22] hi [13:22] check iwconfig and friends [13:22] how do i make a video call in empathy? === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x [13:24] sigh, why did my remote desktop settings (vnc server that came in ubuntu) reset after I upgraded from 11.04 to 11.10? (and then 12.04) [13:24] its a mini laptop with a dead screen and its a PITA to plug a screen in and configure stuff. can I enable LAN access somehow using SSH? [13:25] zathraz, i think that maybe i should switch off the internel wifi card and download driver from site of provider and then install it [13:25] what is the easiest way to install mail server? [13:25] shadej, use an applicance [13:26] hi, is there a way of seeing what error a cron job has done ? [13:26] elspuddy, syslog/messages in var [13:26] or execute it by hand [13:26] zathraz: what kind? [13:27] demonio, that would lead to close source drivers [13:27] opensource should work [13:28] shadej, turnkeylinux in a vm : mailservers are very complex [13:28] if done right that bis [13:28] *is [13:28] zathraz: am using ubuntu [13:28] yeah but i think that the manifacturer provides linux driver [13:29] iredmail is also an option if you are more adventurus but do not want to config everything by hand [13:31] zathraz: how abt postfix? [13:32] postfix is great [13:32] but your question is a bit limited [13:32] how do i find out the last time a file has been accessed ? [13:32] mailserver for what: local users, internet company? requires mailscanning for virussen etc === BradCrittenden is now known as bac_ [13:33] postfix, but also say exim requires some knowledge and does not provide these extras out of the box [13:35] shadej, exim is probably already installed on your box [13:35] zathraz: no it is not installed [13:36] hey, is there a way to install ia32-libs-multiarch on precise in PPA-builder at launchpad? [13:37] shadej, there usually is a mailserver installed to handle system mail [13:37] exim is the default in Debian, I presume also in Ubuntu [13:37] zathraz: may be sendmail === deadweas1l is now known as deadweasel [13:38] shadej, just note, postfix, exim, sendmail : smtp and not so much imap [13:38] "mailserver" is usually a set of multiple components [13:38] what happens on a ubuntu server if a process requests more memory than is available? [13:39] shadej, are you running 13.04 ? [13:39] does the server just freeze or what? [13:39] zathraz: yeah [13:39] how can i get it all package at one [13:39] Anyone know what the current support status for systemd is? I'm wanting to do http://savanne.be/articles/deploying-node-js-with-systemd/ but the warning at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/systemd#Warning.21_Experimental_code is pretty, uh, discouraging. [13:39] shadej, could you check for me please if "/cdrom" does exist? [13:40] purplehz, it will swap out to the swap space: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq [13:40] zathraz: yes there is [13:40] shadej, like for smtp you also have various options for pop/imap. Therefor I suggested to make it simple and run something off the shelve [13:40] ty [13:41] so, either a VM or iredmail [13:41] or something similar [13:41] zathraz: what is vm? [13:41] virtual machine [13:41] doest it contain all the components [13:41] hmm [13:41] what abt iredmail [13:42] so, you install virtualbox, xen or whatever and then run an aplicance [13:42] it will be a linux in a linux environment [13:42] iredmail is just a combined package. Just google [13:42] It seems others are having the problem along with myself. As of recently Flash on YouTube and the like, in Chrome, Firefox, Chromium will not play on Ubuntu 13.04 [13:43] Maybe a recent update? Any Suggestions? [13:43] zathraz: Openstack is what the cool kids do these days. [13:43] someone know how add the email address of the user so that when he types mail he receives his email? [13:44] I have uninstalled and reinstalled flash [13:44] jpds, I usually use ESX or virtualbox for local machines [13:44] i need help on installing ubuntu === cipher is now known as Guest84372 [13:44] cipher: what kind of help [13:44] demonio: You want to receive email that you send? [13:44] Guest84372: what step are you in installing [13:45] Has anyone else had problems with Flash/YouTube videos not playing recently on Ubuntu 13.04 [13:45] no that other send me, i'm reading a book about unix and there is a command "mail" but it doesn't explain how add the address email for user [13:46] demonio: mail
[13:46] demonio: what exactly are you trying to do? [13:46] demonio, mail is usually read by a mailclient for the current user when executed from commandline [13:47] gordonjcp, i want that when i type mail, it show me my emails [13:47] demonio: show you them in what? [13:47] type "mail" into what? [13:47] for example i type [13:47] mail [13:48] and shell return "there isn't email for demonio" [13:48] demonio: that would be heirloom-mailx [13:48] so but i never setted my email address [13:48] if you actually want to *use* a command-line mail client, look for something like mutt [13:48] yes [13:48] you don't set an email address [13:49] it only works with your local user [13:49] I have two partitions, one contains windows, and other has some important files, I want to format the partition having windows and NOT format the partition having my files [13:49] If i do "Replace Windows With Ubuntu"., will i lose other partittion? [13:50] gordonjcp, mail is used for talk among the users? === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x === DouglasKAway is now known as DouglasK [13:51] demonio, no, the oldest instant messaging is probably talkd. But nobody uses that [13:52] yeah is write command [13:53] has anyone installed ubuntu on a laptop with preinstalled windows8? I already deactivated UEFI but starting ubuntu results in a status 0x000007b error. [13:54] demonio: decades ago, mail(1) was used to send email [13:54] demonio: no-one really uses it any more [13:55] I have two partitions, one contains windows, and other has some important files, I want to format the partition having windows and NOT format the partition having my files . If i do "Replace Windows With Ubuntu"., will i lose other partittion? [13:55] it might be used by scripts for sending email, but it's really not a good choice for end users [13:55] cipher234618: you shouldn't do, but it might be an idea to partition manually just to make sure [13:55] Ok [13:56] gordonjcp, ok then i'll should use fetch-mutt? [13:56] cipher234618: I strongly recommend making a backup of your important files before mucking with partitions [13:56] ! [13:56] demonio: you could try mutt [13:56] not sure about fetch-mutt [13:57] but is difficult to configure [13:57] ? [13:58] hi guys how do u install .conf files on ubuntu [14:00] net0pssec: That question is way to open ended to have a simple answer. What are you trying to do? [14:00] adamk: i have a .conf file i think it needs installation cuz i cannot get a grip on it [14:01] How come my printers are gone from the list? [14:01] net0pssec: Still not enough detauls. conf file for what? === Neptu_ is now known as Neptu [14:02] adamk: i will ask the guys who sent it for more details about it maybe i am getting something wrong [14:02] Soo, I have a ubuntu 12.04 server that I have been using /etc/network/interfaces to set up virtual Nics for different IP's to seperate routing of different clients services. However The most recent IP I have added causes an error which reads http://pastebin.com/5WHMP9s4 when i do /etc/init.d/networking restart [14:03] DJHenjin: check line 45 and the one above and below it, check very carefully [14:03] hi, i downloaded a xubuntu zoneminder live cd, but zoneminder is not installed it seems when using livecd but it is in the packagge manager so i installed xbunutu to hdd but now the weird thing is zoneminder has disappeared from the package mamager so i can no longer install it, what the hell happended [14:04] ok, duh. [14:04] xubuntu version is 8.10 [14:04] DJHenjin: also ensure interfaces is owned by root:root and is 644 [14:04] now when i do the same it returns RTNETLINK answers: File exists Failed to bring up eth0:0. however the interfaces are actually brought up properly [14:04] i know it's old but this is what the livecd with zoneminder used [14:04] krypton: Intrepid is EOL [14:05] is this just an annoyance that I can ignore if it is bringing the interfaces up correctly [14:05] krypton: 8.10 is way out of support [14:06] krypton: get a supported release and you can install packages from the repos [14:06] net0pssec: The details and use case should have been confirmed before you try doing anything with the file as it could have *unexpected* consequences [14:06] i am guessing that xubuntu did some sort of update of the package manager and decided zoneminder was out of date, i don't recall giving me permission [14:06] nanyaks: thanks.. i will note that in case of next time [14:07] krypton: there are no packages in the repos for 8.10 anymore [14:07] !eol | krypton [14:07] krypton: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:07] net0pssec: No problem :) [14:07] Thanks for the help. I must depart now [14:07] kll I don't really have time to start all over again, besides I will have the issue of then finding the right release for zoneminder [14:09] krypton: its not about what you want. its about that unsupported old releases have no packages in the repos anymore. so you cant install anything. [14:09] I don't see why i can't use a old release, that does not explain why zoneminder disappeared when this version is suppose to be all about that program [14:09] krypton: if you would listen and read the link from the bot you would understand [14:09] DJHenjin: I'd also suggest to use sudo restart networking ..because it's an upstart job now, instead of directly running the legacy file for sysvinit directly [14:10] kll, i don't find that very helpful [14:10] Bleh. Lag. [14:12] are there not any repo's that keep old package versions, why the hell are old releases been distributed still if you can't use them [14:13] krypton: you can use them, it's just not supported nor advised [14:13] krypton: they are still available for archive/historical purposes. [14:13] krypton: the major issue is that unsupported releases no longer receive security updates [14:14] bloody weird that a livecd would be distributed for zonemonitor but not actually have zonemonitor on it and then can't download it because release is old [14:14] krypton: what is zonemonitor? [14:15] krypton: talk with zonemonitor about that problem [14:16] jrib, others here are telling me i can't use this release because there are no repos for it [14:16] !eol | krypton [14:16] krypton: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:16] krypton: why don't we try to get you on a supported release first [14:16] krypton: read the bots message [14:16] zonemonitor is a cctv monitoring program, 1 of only a few [14:16] krypton: you mean "zoneminder"? [14:16] has anyone installed ubuntu on a laptop with preinstalled windows8? I already deactivated UEFI but starting ubuntu results in a status 0x000007b error. Booting via cd does not work. [14:17] yes, sorry zoneminder [14:17] !info zoneminder [14:17] zoneminder (source: zoneminder): Linux video camera security and surveillance solution. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.25.0-4ubuntu1 (raring), package size 1860 kB, installed size 5935 kB [14:17] so why not install a supported ubuntu release and install zoneminder then? [14:18] krypton: you should be able to install 12.04 LTS or 13.04 (latest release) and use the repositories to install zoneminder [14:18] hi [14:18] well I don't know what releases support zoneminder and also I am running on old laptop so an older release will be better [14:18] what is the next best alternative to team viewer for accessing a ubuntu desktop from another system over the network? [14:19] krypton: if it's in the repositories, it's supported. zoneminder is in the repositories. What are the specifications on your machine? [14:19] which is why i downloaded a release of a livecd that was specifically for zoneminder [14:19] krypton: Where did you download it from? [14:20] krypton: Certainly not ubuntu.com... [14:20] http://sourceforge.net/projects/zoneminder-cd/ [14:20] krypton: OK, so ask the people running that project for support. [14:21] krypton: I don't see hat you gain other than saving yourself a single step (installing zoneminder from the repositories). I'd advise using 12.04 [14:22] krypton: that project just looks dead [14:22] that's great jrib, thanks, what releases is it in repo's for though. My laptop is a Pentium M, 1.6Ghz with 1/2 gig ram [14:23] krypton: 12.04 code name "precise" is the name of the ubuntu release if that is what you are asking? [14:23] yes, thanks [14:23] krypton: you may have some issues running the default environment on 12.04 with that laptop, so you may want to use lubuntu or xubuntu 12.04 instead. They share the same repositories but just have different defaults, so you'll still be able to install zoneminder easily through the repositories [14:24] ok, what was the version before 12.04 because i think i have lubuntu 11 something on another machine [14:24] hello everyone [14:25] just want to sit [14:25] but could not find zoneminder in the software center on that one [14:25] krypton: 11.10 was the version before but that is no longer supported [14:25] 12.04 is latest? [14:25] krypton: 12.04 is the latest LTS [14:25] !lts | krypton [14:25] krypton: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [14:26] i had to use 11.10 on my other machine, 12.04 did not work [14:26] if you use not-supported ubuntu releases you will not find any packages in the softwarecenter [14:26] Hello! I'm using Ubuntu 12.04 (with xubuntu-desktop) and I'm trying to mount a Canon Ixus 55 camera but it doesn't show up, can someone help me? [14:27] kll that is strange as i have installed software from software center on 11.10 [14:27] krypton: well start by trying to use 12.04 on the machine you want to use now... if you find an issue, *then* worry about it and come back for support here [14:28] DarkSim, try launching thunar to see if it appears. also try nautilus. for some reason, different results with my nexus 4 [14:28] krypton: you are still missing the point of a release loosing the support. it doesnt loose the support from the beginning [14:29] only problem is jrib that chews up a lot of time trialing and erroring different releases, which is why i would rather go for an older release i already know works, it's just a matter of finding out what release will make installing zoneminder easy [14:29] krypton: 12.04 is the release I suggest you use [14:29] Hm, cfhowlett. I can find the camera in Nautilus but not in Thunar [14:29] kll, I don't think i ever missed your point but i think you missed mine [14:30] Unless you have some sort of final touch I guess this will have to do for now :D [14:30] krypton: but since 10.04 (server version) , 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 have zoneminder in the repos i think 11.10 had it, too. just use a support version and you can install zoneminder from the repos [14:30] DarkSim, same same. use what works ... [14:31] is it usual for my USB microphone and my USB camera to be identified as keyboards ? this is what my Xorg.0.log states [14:31] has anyone installed ubuntu on a laptop with preinstalled windows8? I already deactivated UEFI but booting via cd does not work, [14:31] kll, now you are answering in the way i was looking for in the beginning [14:31] krypton: we already told you releases that ran out of support are not supported in here. [14:32] oh now you are saying that support is not offered by people in here for older releases, that is a different point again to what you said in the beginning [14:33] hey, i have a macbook pro. and i have ubuntu installed on a partition of my harddrive. [14:33] krypton: nope. i said that since the beginning [14:33] What is the meaning of a "@" after a file name ? [14:33] !mac|xadidas4lifex, [14:33] xadidas4lifex,: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages [14:33] if I update my mac from 10.7.5 to the latest 10.7, will it mess up? [14:33] so kll you can speak for everybody and say that no support is offered in this irc channel for older releases? [14:34] xadidas4lifex, ask the mac folk ... [14:34] damn [14:34] i hate mac folk... [14:34] krypton, as a rule End of Life releases are NOT supported ... by definition [14:34] $50 to get an answer for one question [14:34] !mac|xadidas4lifex, [14:34] krypton: yes, "no support" includes officially no support in this channel. We'll generally help you upgrade to a supported release though [14:35] Thanks so much for the help cfhowlett! [14:35] Goodbye! [14:35] DarkSim, be safe/have fun [14:36] why ubuntu is very nice!!! === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [14:36] ? [14:36] xlaire: depends on needs [14:36] xlaire, is that a question or a statement? [14:36] so that is a rule in this channel that on one can offer support for older linux releases? [14:37] not sure you guys been serious [14:37] just want to say something lol [14:37] Does nobody know what the "@" is about after file names ? [14:37] krypton, End of Life = no support ... as stated, you can help upgrading to a supported version. [14:37] leonvv: in what folder? [14:37] sys/class/power_supply [14:37] no support by who though? [14:37] krypton: try calling Microsoft to get support for Windows 98, same story [14:38] krypton: if someone wants to help you and makes you aware of what the issues are, I personally won't stop them. That being said, you already know where we stand: install a supported release, probably 12.04. zoneminder is in it's repositories. Do you have any other questions? [14:38] krypton: yep. stop begging on that. old releases dont get any updates. that includes no security updates. so its not supported to use old releases [14:38] krypton, no one. seriously, it's not that hard a concept. try getting support for windows 98. same result. [14:38] s/'// [14:38] if i go on a windows irc channel and ask about old windows version i don't get this eol line though [14:38] !eol | krypton [14:38] krypton: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [14:39] never asked for any updates [14:39] krypton: read that link. its given you 4th times now! [14:39] krypton, do yourself a favor and actually read this so you know what is happening. I'm done. [14:39] or expected them on a old release [14:39] he's doing a fresh install anyway from what I gathered [14:39] krypton: the releases taht are EOL are dead so support can be focussed on newer releases, if you do a clean install of Precise you will get support til April 2017 [14:40] easier said than done, not everyone can run the latest release on their machine because of incompatiblities [14:40] Can you read out a symlink just like any other file ? [14:40] krypton: are you one of these people? You haven't tried. [14:40] leonvv: what do you mean by "read out"? [14:41] nope [14:41] been reading online tutorial and books, still dont get it, i was windows user for productivity application and just this year, i switch to this ubuntu [14:41] Just like you would with normal files [14:41] leonvv: ok give an example with normal files... [14:41] i still dont understand the drive [14:41] the mounting of devices [14:41] can anyone explain in straight answer how this thing works [14:42] Get the contents from a .txt file using C or another language, that's what I would call "read out" [14:42] in windows, drive are can easily picture them out [14:42] is it usual for my USB microphone and my USB camera to be identified as keyboards ? this is what my Xorg.0.log states or do I have driver issues that need resolving? [14:42] I need to get the battery state programmatically [14:43] leonvv: I don't see why not. Probably depends on your call. You probably have a convenience library you can use too [14:45] if you don't want to help someone because you don't agree with giving support on older versions of linux then i suggest you shut up [14:45] I upgraded 10.04 -> 12.04, and now apt is all broken. http://pastie.org/private/ohepxjrovsn7k48duxdxqa Any suggestions? [14:45] krypton, now you're just being nasty. Please stop. immediately [14:45] meLon: how did you upgrade?

[14:56] I got transparent windows to work finally too. awsome. [14:56] It's not actually working. So, that will work [14:56] meLon: what happens when you try "sudo invoke-rc.d dovecot stop"? [14:56] It's not working in the capacity in which I need it to work, so turning it off right now doesn't bother me jrib [14:57] jrib: I don't have invote-rc.d installed. pro! [14:57] meLon: s/t/k [14:57] I mistyped [14:57] meLon: you can get past this by commenting lines in these postrm files but it's generally better to understand what's happening first and I don't see why "invoke-rc.d dovecot start" would fail === Cyberspaceloa is now known as Cyberspacedad [14:57] I dont have invo*k*e-rc.d :P [14:57] interesting [14:58] meLon: « ls /usr/sbin/invoke-rc.d » gives you an error?

[15:00] Chech: ubuntu running in a vm environment? [15:00] jrib: It's started... [15:00] meLon: I saw. It's probably related to the fact /usr/sbin wasn't in your path :) [15:00] *thinking* [15:00] no my main os on desktop [15:01] meLon: well, have you messed with PATH at all? [15:01] Not that I'm aware. [15:02] jrib: `sudo su -` `sudo apt-get install -f` [15:02] rrr -sudo [15:02] but yeah.

[15:03] for your user [15:04] I'm not worried about that right now. I *really* need this mailserver running [15:04] meLon: ok, so you were able to complete the apt-get command now? [15:04] Yeah Now I've got to reconfigure dovecot mysql user. What a pita [15:05] I hope the upgrade didnt destroy my db [15:05] meLon: don't worry you have backups -_- [15:06] Ugh, Ubuntu + Teamviewer 8 = bugged as hell [15:06] noiro: compositing window managers and teamviewer do not get along well [15:07] [ERROR] /usr/sbin/mysqld: unknown variable 'default-character-set=utf8' jrib >_< [15:07] meLon: this is a very strange upgrade [15:07] How come on windows I get about 5 hours battery life on my laptop and in ubuntu I get about 3 ?

[16:13] I will try, just that I found many tutorials using ubuntu 6.10 [16:13] EDocToor: also it's pretty obvious you're doing things without reading the server docs, they're there to help :D [16:13] An0n: could always run Gentoo :) === alain is now known as Guest51497 [16:13] * bathroom slaps FloodBot1 around a bit with a large trout [16:13] * bathroom slaps FloodBot2 around a bit with a large trout [16:13] An0n: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/installation-guide/sparc/pr01.html [16:13] * bathroom slaps FloodBot3 around a bit with a large trout [16:13] * bathroom slaps 13WAAGT5J around a bit with a large trout [16:13] * bathroom slaps [0x1a] around a bit with a large trout [16:13] * bathroom slaps [1]oo[1]_ around a bit with a large trout [16:13] bathroom: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:31] Traxie21: might be worth a shot [16:31] I don't think so, I have a HDD install of Ubuntu 13.04, and it detects the intel card fine [16:31] Traxie21: you will also need bumblebee to support your GPU mess [16:31] I have a nVidia optimus system [16:31] I know [16:32] Traxie21: if you press CTRL+ALT+F2 when you see that screen, do you get a login prompt? [16:32] Uhh [16:32] It hardly starts booting [16:32] Thats the entire /var/logs/boot.log file [16:32] Traxie21: just because you don't get the pretty login screen doesn't mean it hasn't started enough to start doing things with it [16:32] Should I reboot and try?

I decided to try to dual boot with Ubuntu 13.04. Something went terribly wrong. [16:54] Basically, when the install of 13.04 was finished and I restarted the computer I got this error: "Boot Failure: a proper digital signature was not found. One of the files on the selected boot device was rejected by the Secure Boot Feature". [16:54] HellTiger: is it using the ubuntu tablet edition or something? there is a #ubuntu-touch room if so [16:55] it will use soon this version [16:55] thx [16:56] So I shut it down and accessed the legacy BIOS by holding F2 while starting up and disabled secure boot. This allowed me to access Ubuntu via the Ubuntu Grub Boot Loader. [16:56] Now, I can't get into windows at all. I've tried "sudo update-grub" and I've read a few guides but I'm really out of my depth here. [16:58] Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[17:01] Thanks wilee-nilee. I'll try that. [17:02] If I could get into Windows and just delete Ubuntu and do it over again (properly), I'd be happy with that. [17:02] PITBEAST, Do you have windows backed up? [17:03] wilee-nilee I don't want to answer that question... :/ I went into this thinking "I've installed ubuntu plenty of times" not knowing the issues with UEFI, etc. [17:04] PITBEAST uefi is a pain [17:04] wilee-nilee so the answer is no...i didn't back up windows [17:04] PITBEAST, I figured that.

I want to know where is the correct place to set the parameter "-Djava.awt.headless=true". This parameter may help me to solve a problem... [18:40] singh_abhinav: it depends on the labtop.. they are different.. look at the specs and that should tell you the operation temps [18:41] Nevermind just found out, 2 things: unset $http_proxy and use DIRECT in apt.conf :) [18:41] okay sere ..my laptop temp is between 55-60 with normal browsing [18:42] 60C should be OK for laptop [18:43] singh_abhinav: 60c is ok .. im in the 50s but my max operation temp is like 90-100 i think [18:43] singh_abhinav: browsing can be quite CPU intensive, especially if you have flash and JavaScript enabled === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ [18:44] singh_abhinav: my laptop when mostly quiest has CPU and motherboard temperatures around 50C. [18:45] Walex: yeah i understand that :) [18:45] Hi, I just came across the concept of fstab. How would one set up fstab ? From what I read about fstab was all the partitions listed under it aare automatically mounted. I am confused. [18:45] b1n4ry_: no, not all automatically. Only those not marked 'noauto' [18:46] to reduce CPU temp open the laptop clean heatsink and apply the best thermal past you can get. It does reduce CPU temp. [18:46] b1n4ry_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab [18:46] auto is defualt though [18:46] Walex, So would exactly would setting up fstab mean? [18:46] b1n4ry_: man fstab [18:46] Walex: sere i have one problem . I have onboard and discrete graphics card, I have disabled discrete graphics card but it still my fan is running like any thing ...how should i fix that .. i am using ubuntu 13.04 [18:47] b1n4ry_: basically 'fstab' is a set of defaults for the 'mount' command, plus optionally to actually run the 'mount' command. [18:47] is there a shortcut when in the windowed mode; like the scale plugin; that i can close a window? [18:47] singh_abhinav: that's a long exploration to do. You have to figure out what is keeping the CPU running, because it is usually the CPU. [18:47] singh_abhinav: check first with 'top' [18:48] arooni-mobile: 'ALT-F4'? === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [18:48] Walex: as well as optionally backup and check the partition [18:48] Walex, yup that worked hthere thanks [18:48] Walex: my CPU uses is around 2% only [18:48] singh_abhinav: there is also 'powertop' but it is almost useless. [18:48] Walex, So you can edit fstab for various partitions but how exactly would you "set-up" fstab? My friend told me to set up fstab and I do not understand what exactly would that mean? === wNz is now known as wN [18:49] b1n4ry_: you edit /etc/fstab [18:49] singh_abhinav: sometimes there is no proper driver for the laptop fan and it defaults to spin all the time. [18:49] Walex: oh okay [18:49] clcto, Is that exaclty setting up fstab? [18:49] clcto: the backup and check partition columns are nearly obsolete... [18:49] *exactly [18:50] singh_abhinav: you can use conky to monitor temps,top cpu/memory but it takes alittle bit of work to set up [18:50] !fstab | b1n4ry_ [18:50] b1n4ry_: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions [18:50] b1n4ry_, fstab is the file system table. It lists what file systems and what their mount points are for your computer. [18:51] what would be the easiest way to encrypt a file so that it can be easily decrypted on windows with a password? [18:51] b1n4ry_: yes. basically all setting relating to the kernel and *nix utils just use files as settings [18:51] singh_abhinav: but not necessarily your case. Check by doing a search online. [18:51] b1n4ry_, you don't need to "set it up" beyond what the installer does normally. [18:51] kristenbb: prolly truecrypt [18:51] singh_abhinav: but not necessarily your case. Check by doing a search online. With your laptop model as one of the keywords [18:52] clcto: isn't that drive encryption ? [18:52] i have sony vaio ..i have found some thing called vaiofand Walex [18:52] kristenbb: doesnt have to be === Edgan_ is now known as Edgan [18:52] clcto: so can you please guide me through the process of encrypting it ?

I have a question regarding the best way to implement a mail server. I have some website I am hosting ona self managed server but I understand the issue with spam. I am wanting to possibly redirect my mail to a known server for relay. What is the best way of doing this? I have looked into using postfix + gmail [19:16] <[diablo]> mobo is a GA-Z68AP-D3 [19:16] singh_abhinav: you can pretty much output anything to conky [19:16] chadmandoo #ubuntu-server [19:16] singh_abhinav: are you using nvidia?

[19:17] no its amd radeon sere [19:17] <[diablo]> evening daftykins nope, all direct to mobo [19:17] [diablo]: sure but are they all using the intel controller ports? there's no secondary controller onboard? [19:18] what would be the easiest way to encrypt a file so that it can be easily decrypted on windows with a password? [19:18] <[diablo]> daftykins, let me check [19:18] Any known issues with a windows machine teamviewering into a ubuntu machine? [19:18] <[diablo]> daftykins, just check the mobo manual [19:18] [diablo]: ok just looked up the board spec, looks like there's no third party controller. just 6 chipset provided SATA ports, 2 x 6Gb and 4 x 3Gb naturally [19:19] anyone know how to break raid10? [19:19] [diablo]: is Windows7 installed in EFI mode? does ubuntu 13.04 on the flash drive boot in EFI mode? [19:19] disputin: why would you want to?

[19:20] <[diablo]> daftykins, and no idea about the Windows 7 if its EFI or not [19:20] !efi [19:20] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [19:20] [diablo]: have a look at the above link and see where it shows you if the flash drive is booting in EFI or legacy mode. [19:20] <[diablo]> yup [19:20] kristenbb: When you went to unzip, it would prompt you for the password usually ( in winzip or whatever unzipper) [19:21] <[diablo]> cheers daftykins many thanks [19:21] [diablo]: no problemo, i'd also be curious what sdc and sdd are :D [19:21] for raid 1 it's easy, fail a drive do the upgrade and readd the drive [19:22] genii: and what kind of encryption does -e use ? [19:22] but for raid 10, which drives do I fail out? [19:22] kristenbb: No idea. [19:24] how do I have a script execute when I log into gnome? [19:25] disputin: are you saying you want to upgrade your OS only on 50% of the RAID 10 array so you can revert if necessary? [19:25] kristenbb: nice to see you back. i'm beginning to think you deal with super secret data? ;) [19:26] daftykins: not so much just trying to send a file to a friend that is too big for an email [19:26] daftykins: nice to see you too [19:27] kristenbb: online hosting choices not an option? or one of you creating a user account/FTP server and sharing the file? [19:27] hi - just installed 12.04LTS, can't get Unity running, only Unity 2D, my box has Intel 82865G Integrated Graphics Controller, and I do have xserver-xorg-intel installed. What am I missing? How can I troubleshoot this? [19:27] aum: that hardware sounds way too ancient to get Unity 3D running i'm afraid. [19:28] daftykins: well yes I think i'm going for an online hosting choice, but if I do so I'd like it not to be accessible to everyone else, hence the encryption [19:29] kristenbb: makes sense. if you hosted FTP locally though you wouldn't have to trust a 3rd party - depends if the level of setup (installing, configuring a user, forwarding ports on your router) is too much effort [19:30] my computer is not always on [19:30] [diablo]: oh just another thought, make sure you're not installing from USB3 too, yeah? [19:30] kristenbb: Maybe use pgp/gpg [19:30] <[diablo]> daftykins, the usb3 issue is what exactly? [19:30] genii: that requires prior setting, with exchange of keys, right? [19:31] [diablo]: always best to install any OS from USB2 ports really [19:31] <[diablo]> ok [19:31] I think i'm just gonna go with zip -e it's good enough for my purpose [19:31] kristenbb: You don't have to exchange private keys for pgp to work. [19:31] public ones [19:33] daftykins [19:33] yes as a fallback [19:34] the server's about 30 miles away and I'm doing the upgrade over a IPMI daughter card [19:34] disputin: sounds like an absolutely terrible idea :D what are you upgrading from and to?

What I mean is I don't need users with the ability to do anything but log into FTP, and I only want them to be able to access a directory (and it's children). I tried vsftpd, but it doesn't seem right for this project. [19:42] pozori: no, it says 'Available shortly. Please check back soon.' to me [19:42] daftykins, it runs 12.04LTS just fine with Unity 2D.

[20:02] sere: he meant //server/share ;) [20:02] sere: well yes, I meant "server"/share server is my smb server and share is the file share [20:02] so with Ubuntu Touch, will Ubuntu have remote access to your device just like how Google Android has remote access with "emergency purposes" with Google Services?

[20:16] sere: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5752806/ [20:16] DrFoo: i pulled this from the web, its worth a shot: sudo mount -t cifs -o username=foo,passwd=bar //sever/share /mnt/] [20:17] sere: That's what I've been doing since the credential files don't work [20:17] DrFoo: no this :) sudo mount -t cifs //server/share /mnt -o username=foo,passwd=bar [20:17] they both work, but you don't want to put your password in a script [20:17] so you should call the credentials from a credentials file [20:18] ls [20:18] DrFoo: //myserver_ip_address/myshare /media/samba_share cifs noauto,credentials=/etc/samba/user,noexec 0 0 [20:18] DrFoo: like that ?

[20:41] SonikkuAmerica: forever or just for this session ? [20:41] sparr: Sounds like 12.04 may be a better idea as its LTS, less for them to worry about and have to upgrade more often [20:42] kristenbb >>> According to this source : http://askubuntu.com/questions/195988/how-to-remove-launcher-drive-icons <<< it appears to ditch it forever. You can change it back in dconf-editor or gsettings. [20:42] SonikkuAmerica: ok, thanks. [20:43] sparr: non-LTS releases of Ubuntu are essentially betas for the next LTS anyways. [20:43] SonikkuAmerica: a somewhat similar question, do you know how to put the close, minimize, maximize icons to the right AND keep a contextual menu on the left of a window that appears when the top left corner is pressed ? [20:44] kristenbb: Well, if you remember how gconf-editor did it for pre-11.04 Ubuntu... [20:44] kristenbb: (One second) [20:45] SonikkuAmerica: In older versions, I used to do gconftool -s /apps/metacity/general/button_layout -t string menu:minimize,maximize,close. Now apparently it doesn't work anymore. I did gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout ":minimize,maximize,close" and it works, but the thing on the left corner disappeared. [20:45] Anyone here know if Ubuntu 13.04 is supporting Hyper-V Dynamic Memory? I've seen many locations specifying 12.** doesnt but a couple state 13.** does. [20:46] kristenbb: I believe the command should be [ gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences button-layout "menu:minimize,maximize,close" ] [20:46] SonikkuAmerica: see above. [20:46] hod do i find out what wireless card i have [20:46] Fuzzles: lspci [20:47] kristenbb: You forgot the "thing on the left corner"? [20:47] kristenbb: Or are you thinking about another "thing on the left corner"? [20:47] Fuzzles: PCI or USB plug in stick? if PCI use LSPCI, if USB use LSUSB [20:48] kristenbb: If you're talking about the window control menu, you need to put the menu button in front of the colon like I did in my rewrite of your command. [20:49] SonikkuAmerica: well I don't know how to call it, but if I did the first command (gconftool -s ...) on ubuntu 12.04, the close/minimize/maximize buttons went to the right AND a new icon appeared on the left ("the thing" on the top left, which looks like a circle), which, if left clicked, would show a contextual menu. I was used to it to give another way to close a window from its left edge. Now with the new command, this icon doesn't exist anym [20:50] kristenbb: Yeah, like I said before... your button layout argument was ":minimize,maximize,close" [20:50] SonikkuAmerica: yes this is it thank you, I had forgotten the menu part. [20:50] kristenbb: Yep. You're welcome. [20:51] lalalllalalalallalalalalala [20:51] !ot | samgabbay [20:51] samgabbay: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

FOr some reason it's using boldface fonts when my "default/desktop" font is a normal font... [20:51] XD [20:53] SonikkuAmerica: please allow me to ask yet another question, you seem to know a bit about unity and 12.04/13.04 differences: I now have a roughly two pixel wide purple line on the left edge of the screen. This stays even when the screen blackens, and is not part of a screenshot. WHat could cause this ? [20:53] hi guys, noob here, when mv -ing files and directories is there a way to avoid writing the entire directory out? Also i keep getting told that /home/Documents doesn't exist, what's up with that? any tutorial links welcome === super is now known as Guest60335 [20:54] kristenbb: Well, it could be a screen problem if it's not part of a screenshot. [20:54] basiclaser: Sounds like you're referencing "My Documents" or similar without quotes. [20:54] hello [20:55] SonikkuAmerica: I doubt it, the color is very similar to a ubuntu color, and didn't appear in 12.04 with the same screen. [20:55] basiclaser: Paths with spaces in them must be quoted in order to cp, mv, etc. [20:55] how do i force a basic boot up on fedora 18 after i fail to install the video driver [20:55] ubuntu is garbage btw too much spyware [20:55] Really, in the Ubuntu support channel? [20:55] basiclaser: are you copying using the UI or from command line? [20:55] i did a ctrl+alt+f1 and kill the gdm and relog on it gave me chinese language [20:56] kristenbb: Well, if it didn't appear in another incarnation of Ubuntu... [20:56] this was on ubuntu 12.10 [20:56] so now i'm installing fedora 18 on my system. [20:56] Guest60335: spyware? [20:56] Guest60335: You know you can turn that stuff off or use another "flavor," right?! === c_melder is now known as melder [20:57] bandit2992: bgardner: the file name was just called documents, not my documents. is it something to do with writing 'home'? do i have to write my actual username? [20:58] basiclaser: You said when "mv-ing", what is the command line that gave you an error? [20:58] how do I tell gnome-terminal which browser to open urls in? [20:58] !netsplit [20:58] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit [20:58] basiclaser: probably you want your documents in /home/[youruser]/documents [20:58] bgardner: yes i used mv [20:59] basiclaser: Your home folder can be also be specified by a tilde ( ~ ). Also, "Documents" is case-sensitive. [20:59] how do I tell gnome-terminal which browser to open urls in? [20:59] a/s/l? [20:59] markypoo: This isn't Omegle. [20:59] lol, j/m [20:59] dooglus: it just uses the default browser [20:59] dooglus: Type its name in the terminal, followed by the web address. [21:00] first time in here [21:00] bandit2992: thanks! i had to chuck in another 'home'. so my folder 'basiclaser' is labeled home, even though it's parent folder is actually called home ?? D: wtf :D [21:00] markypoo: this is a technical support channel. we have #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting [21:00] mayhew: and how do I set the default browser? I've set the default xfce4 browser, but gnome-terminal is presumably using some gnome setting [21:00] dooglus: If you want the default browser to open it, use xdg-open. [21:00] SonikkuAmerica: I mean when I see a link in a terminal, and I right-click it then 'open link' [21:01] basiclaser: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HomeFolder === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [21:01] dooglus: (Unity) Search your dash for "Default Applications" or "Preferred Applications" [21:01] dooglus: (I think it's the former) [21:01] SonikkuAmerica: I use xfce4 not unity [21:02] I guess what I'm asking is what program does 'preferred applications' un, so I can run it here [21:02] bgardner: thanks :) may i ask you one final small question? how do i move the contents of a folder 'up one level' in the same folder as the content's parent folder? [21:02] dooglus: In XFCE, open the settings manager and select "Preferred Applications" [21:02] to set the default browser, sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser [21:02] SonikkuAmerica: I've set the xfce4 preferred browser, but gnome-terminal is using the gnome preferred browser setting, so I need to change that too [21:03] basiclaser: mv ./myFolder ../ [21:03] dooglus: Then use [ sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser ] in a terminal. [21:03] basiclaser: What he said. [21:03] dooglus: Excuse me, sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser [21:03] BluesKaj: that shows the browser I want already as 'auto' [21:03] anyone know how a fix for wrong XKB layout with keyboards attached to the VCP. [21:04] SonikkuAmerica: that too [21:04] dooglus, then you have to install another browser , if you have only one [21:05] dooglus: I assume you only have Firefox...? [21:05] bandit2992: says i cant, 'directory not empty'. to clarify, that command moves the contents of a folder but not the folder itself right? [21:05] BluesKaj: I have firefox and chromium. I want links to open in chromium, but they open in firefox [21:05] BluesKaj: however: $ sudo update-alternatives --config gnome-www-browser | grep auto [21:05] 0 /usr/bin/chromium-browser 40 auto mode [21:06] dooglus: There's a bug that won't let Google Chrome or Chromium be the default browser. It's more than enough to set it to open when you click "Web Browser" in the XFCE apps menu. [21:06] SonikkuAmerica: I had it working on my old laptop so I'm sure it's possible [21:09] bgardner: ah i got it! :D 'mv * ../' go me [21:09] is there a way I can easily search through system processes by keyword? [21:09] anybody knows if there's an ubuntu tablet yet in the market? Apparently the OS is there but is there hardware available for it? [21:10] like say I wanted to do a search through running processes to check and see if ubuntu one was running [21:10] goddard, pd aux | grep NAME_OF_PROCESS_HERE [21:10] goddard, sorry -->ps aux [21:11] tucemiux: ok so that returned 20319 0.0 0.0 13628 964 pts/6 S+ 14:11 0:00 grep --color=auto ubuntu one [21:12] that means it is running?

[21:13] ps aux | grep ubuntuone* [21:14] honestly, ive tried 4 different distros - ubuntu comes first [21:14] i tried mint, mageia, fedora, solusOS [21:14] all the above had issues with something [21:14] tucemiux: bgardner cool thanks [21:14] so, out of the box, ubuntu wins hands down [21:15] ive upgraded the kernel [21:15] installed window managers [21:15] nvidia drivers [21:15] the works - and it takes it [21:16] oliver__2: if its not a specific technical support issue please keep this channel clear for other support issues. we got #ubuntu-offtopic for the chat :) [21:16] oliver__2: isn't it great when it all works? [21:16] hi, have 13.04 installed on a IdeaPad y-500, set the bios to boot Ubuntu first it keeps defaulting to windows. [21:21] I found the answer. to set the preferred browser in gnome, run "gnome-control-center info". It's distinct from any "sudo update-alternatives" setting, which gnome-terminal seems to ignore [21:21] sudo would run something as root though. [21:21] oh i get you [21:22] I just like to answer my own questions when I find the answer, so I can find it in the logs next time I need it [21:22] and maybe somebody else might find it useful too [21:23] fisherman: the BIOS can usually only select which disk the MBR is read from, it can't usually select a partition. Grub can do that. [21:23] dooglus: yeah nothing wrong with that [21:23] dooglus: Yes, appriciated. Defaults in the console != defaults in gnome, so not surprizing. [21:24] SonikkuAmerica: the problem is that even after I've opened chromium from the 'rat' menu, right-clicking a link in the terminal was still running firefox. running "gnome-control-center info" allowed me to tell it to user chromium instead [21:26] dooglus: On [21:26] *Oh [21:28] SonikkuAmerica: I guess it's somewhat uncommon to see links in a terminal. I run irssi in a terminal as my IRC client, so I see them a lot [21:28] dooglus: Oh.

Everything is working fine except for sound. I don't even have the sound icon in the top right. I have an m-audio 66 sound card [22:47] hola [22:47] when I go to sound settings it just closes immediately [22:48] Would i am actually trying to do it start the web interface for my esata raid box [22:48] Dave77: or http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4005610/how-can-i-install-a-newer-perl-without-damaging-the-system-install [22:49] so ubuntu can't see my esata raid box [22:49] vantage, for a start, delete your .pulse folder, logout and log back in, or just kill pulseaudio, pulseaudio -k and start it again, pulseaudio -D [22:49] iceroot, how do i delete the partition and then put it into the ubuntu partition with gparted? [22:50] samgabbay: select the partion, right click - remove, then hit apply (in the top menu) after that choose resize for the ubuntu partition (this step can only be done from a live-system because you cant change the size when you have booted the system) [22:50] !gparted | samgabbay [22:50] samgabbay: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program.

[22:52] liam__: nice [22:52] samgabbay: yes that sounds good [22:52] iceroot, alright will do [22:52] vantage, are you sending the sound to the corrent device? is your m-audio set as the default output device? [22:53] Why won't ubuntu see my raid box [22:53] kostkon: the only option is analog output and it's set to that on the ice1712 (m-audio delta) [22:53] kostkon: now the card has a break out box with 4 outputs.

I see levels in pavcontrol, but not in alsamixer [23:00] vantage, hmm that's strange === Eating is now known as Logan_ [23:03] kostkon: Weird, I manually bumped up the levels in alsamixer and got sound.

[23:13] here got it http://snag.gy/n9als.jpg [23:13] It says if i can not access the web interface then it in not running and to start hptsvr manually type in hptsvr [23:13] bekks: here http://snag.gy/n9als.jpg [23:13] and when i do that it says driver not loaded [23:13] iceroot: here http://snag.gy/n9als.jpg [23:14] It says if i can not access the web interface then it in not running and to start hptsvr manually type in hptsvr [23:14] and when i do that it says driver not loaded === th0r is now known as Guest9766 [23:14] bekks: Because I'm running a linux machine in a virtual machine and I'm not seeing all 8 cores being used with make -j 8. I want to find out if it is virtualbox or make [23:14] bray90820: So do you have the driver(s) necessary loaded? [23:14] sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo? [23:14] I am trying to load them [23:14] Zeranoe: make -j X will never use all cores at 100% since make -j X is mostly an I/O thing. [23:14] but it's not working [23:15] bekks: Anything that will? [23:15] samgabbay: if i am correct, sda3 needs to be the primary and not the extended. extended of what when you want to allocate everything to it? then there is no base [23:15] bray90820: So how do you try to load them? And what does "not working" mean? [23:15] samgabbay: but i have to sleep now, sorry [23:15] How do I change the Unity Panel font? FOr some reason it's using boldface fonts when my "default/desktop" font is a normal font... [23:15] iceroot: please dont leave me how do i make it primary [23:15] Zeranoe: vbox [23:15] vantage, someone has posted a fix https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pulseaudio/+bug/178442/comments/30 if you attempt it, make a copy of the file before editing it [23:15] Launchpad bug 178442 in pulseaudio (Ubuntu Lucid) "Pulseaudio fails to initialize ICE1712 chipsets" [Low,Triaged] [23:15] Zeranoe: you have to edit there how mayn cores will be available in the guest [23:15] i already exsplained when i type in hptsvr it says driver not loaded [23:16] but that is what i am suppose to type in to start it [23:16] iceroot: They are, all 8 are allowed [23:16] Zeranoe: Again - why? You have assigned multiple cores to a vm, and you can see them being used. Isnt that enough to give you the good feeling that you could use those virtual cores? [23:16] I'm seeing 50% usage [23:16] bray90820: So how do you try to load the necessary drivers? [23:16] samgabbay: right click on sda6 to do the resizing and not sda3 [23:16] I just told you [23:16] i type in ptsvr [23:16] hptsvr [23:16] please someone help me with this isssuee [23:17] bray90820: You didnt. You told us how you are trying to start an application. That doesnt load any drivers. [23:17] Zeranoe: in "top" you see 8 cores when you press "1" inside top? [23:17] well then the manual is completely wrong [23:17] bray90820: which manual? [23:17] bray90820: Which drivers are needed, actually? [23:17] still the same [23:18] iceroot: Yes, so it's I/o? [23:18] iceroot: it wont let me move the arrows futherr thats what i did with the image === Multiply is now known as multiply [23:18] Zeranoe: make -j X is about I/O mostly, yes. [23:20] iceroot: should i reinstall ubuntu [23:21] samgabbay: You should expand the extended partition. [23:21] bekks: but it wont let me move the slider futher [23:21] how can i uninstall ubuntu one? [23:21] samgabbay: Then deactivate the swap partition. [23:22] bekks: linux swamp?????????? [23:22] samgabbay: You ? key is defective. [23:22] bekks: kkind of [23:22] bekks: still wont let me i truned the swamp off [23:22] samgabbay: How did you turn off swap? [23:22] right clikc swampoff [23:23] samgabbay: Then take another screenshot please and upload it. [23:23] If you can't connect to local system, please check if hptsvr is running on the system. If not, start it manually by running "hptsvr". [23:23] bekks that's what it says [23:23] bray90820: So which drivers are needed? [23:23] but when i do tat it says driver not loaded [23:24] i assume the one it provided me for the web interface [23:24] which i already installed [23:24] bray90820: A web interface does not install any drivers. Which drivers for what are you talking about in detail? [23:24] Well then the ones for the raid box [23:25] bekks: heerre http://snag.gy/VaTIn.jpg [23:25] bray90820: So which driver is needed in detail? What does that driver do? Whats the name of the driver? [23:26] samgabbay: sda6 isnt the extended partition. sda3 is. [23:26] bekks: It's the drivers for my tower raid TR4M+B [23:26] samgabbay: Resize sda3, then resize sda6. [23:26] bekks: sooo what am i support to do [23:26] and maybe my raid card [23:26] i am not sure about that [23:26] bray90820: For which hardware component? For which hardware chipset? [23:27] bekks: what do you mean [23:28] iceroot: thanks for your advice. yeah, i'll stick to 2.2+fcgi as a compromise. [23:28] bray90820: "raid box" - that can mean everything. We need to know which hardware chipset it is using, like "it is using a 2ware controller, a MPT controller, some HP SmartCache RAID Controller, etc." - the marketing name "TR4M+B super duper" doesnt mean anything. [23:28] bekks: is there a way to make it the primary cause look what issue i just got http://snag.gy/fDNaG.jpg [23:29] bekks: i need it as primary and extended [23:29] samgabbay: Either primary - or extended. It cant be both. [23:30] bekks: how can i change the extended to primary [23:30] bekks: and move all my files too [23:31] samgabbay: That isnt possible. === Logan_ is now known as Lafawnduh === shuvo is now known as jas [23:31] bekks: soo i guess im gonna have to make a backup and then reinstall ubuntu? [23:31] samgabbay: Why? [23:31] bekks: The chipset is a common Silicon Images SiI 3132 controller [23:31] bekks: cause doesent it work better in terms of performance?? [23:31] samgabbay: Resize sda3, then resize sda6. [23:32] samgabbay: primary/extended doesnt have anything to do with performance. Just with naming. [23:32] oh [23:32] bekks: and now when i click apply it says it can cause loss of data will it lose my ubuntu data? [23:32] bray90820: So you have to load the necessary drivers for that specific hardware component. [23:32] wow im from the qateam and im just dumb :/ [23:33] samgabbay: Yeah, it can lead to data loss. I guess you have a complete backup. [23:33] samgabbay: You have taken a full backup, dont you? [23:33] bekks: not of my ubuntu installation nope [23:33] :/ [23:33] samgabbay: Then take a backup now. [23:33] bekks: whatever if i lose my data i still have my music on my ipod so il extract it with banshe === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] [23:34] I did that [23:34] samgabbay: If you dont have a backup - why do you care about losing data not worth to be kept? ;) [23:34] bray90820: So which module did you load - name it, now. === Lafawnduh is now known as log [23:35] bekks: new issue http://snag.gy/obG9I.jpg [23:35] bekks: what are you looking for the chipset or the model number [23:35] samgabbay: "cant have overlapping partitions". :) [23:35] bekks: yeaaa what do i do :/ [23:36] bray90820: The name of the module (which is the driver) you stated to have loaded already. [23:36] I am not sure [23:36] i loaded the one on the disc they gave me [23:36] bray90820: You said you loaded it - so you know the name of the module you loaded, dont you? [23:37] bekks: what do i doooo it wont let :/ [23:37] bray90820: how did you load it? [23:37] samgabbay: Click close? And use a smaller size for expanding the partition. Leave some free space at the beginning. [23:37] I loaded it with an installer.sh located on the disc they gave me [23:38] bray90820: So whats the name of the module you loaded? [23:38] still wont let [23:38] bekks i don't know [23:38] bekks: il just reinstall ubuntu but is there a way to backup data and all my packedges [23:38] samgabbay: There are numerous ways. [23:38] and i would think that would be necessary since i got everything off the disc they gave me [23:38] !backup | samgabbay [23:38] samgabbay: There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning [23:38] bekks: apps too???? [23:39] i ment wouldn't [23:39] bray90820: I dont think that it is necessary at all. Linux should support that hardware using a kernel shiiped module, not some 3rd party stuff. [23:40] bray90820: Its fairly easy to search for it. [23:40] then why wouldn't ubuntu just see it by default [23:41] bray90820: Because ubuntu doesnt load every module (there are a few thousands of them) which is supported by the kernel. [23:41] Then how would i get my device working [23:42] bray90820: By loading the module supporting your hardware. [23:42] how [23:43] bray90820: You have to find out the module supporting your specific silicon image raid controller. [23:43] i need some help editing fstab. i can mount a network share by browsing to the network section of the filesystem. i can mount both NAS drives through nautilus but can only get one to mount through fstab. [23:44] bekks: HOTMOD=rr62x [23:44] bray90820: Whats that? [23:45] the module [23:45] bray90820: It isnt. [23:45] bray90820: Its some text assigned to a label named HOTMOD. === furian is now known as shantorn [23:45] bray90820: Where did you get that from? [23:46] it says in the install.sh file that it is the module name [23:46] bray90820: "rr" implies "RocketRAID" - which doesnt fit your description "Silicon Image..." [23:47] then i am very very confused [23:47] http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-TRMLbY24mpQ/UbKg-v_70DI/AAAAAAAANWE/1yt5E034GHU/s1600/1370623044052.jpg [23:47] bray90820: So please stop guessing, but just search the HCL for the name of the module supporting your hardware. [23:47] !hcl | bray90820 [23:47] bray90820: For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [23:47] the guide the website and the disc are all 3 wrong then [23:47] Greetings! I recently upgraded my server from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS. I am unable to boot with the new kernel+initramfs. However, I can still boot with the old kernel+initramfs. When I boot I get dumped to the busybox shell. [23:47] bray90820: They are perfectly right, but you are mixing it all up :) [23:47] no [23:47] i looked it up [23:48] and installed raid driver from the disc [23:48] hi, i want to set up a fileserver for my movies on ubuntu... any guides out there on how to do this with RAID, so it'll appear as one disk? [23:48] bray90820: So give me the link in the HCL showing your specific hardware support. [23:48] what exactly do you want [23:48] bray90820: I just told you. [23:48] The onlything notable about my config is that the root device is a multi-disk device (RAID1 mirror). The funny thing is that when I get the shell, I can mount /dev/md0 without any problems (though I still have no idea how to proceed from there). [23:48] do you want the website to the box i have? [23:49] Spent a lot of time yesterday working on options like delayroot, nomodeset, etc., all to no avail. Any suggestions on where to go from here? [23:49] bray90820: No. ubottu gave you a link to the hardware compatibility list, and I want you to read it and show me the part where it says that your hardware is actually supported. [23:50] The manufacture says it is and gives us the drives on a disc and that's what i installed [23:50] so it should work but it doesn't [23:51] bray90820: Well, then please stick to the support of the manufacturer, if you dont want to follow the instructions to get your hardware supported natively. [23:52] whatever [23:54] Hi all, my Ubuntu box just started doing this thing where it will boot and appears to be mostly running (I can ssh to it and such) but it doesn't load the GUI at all. It's currently stuck at a screen that says "Ubuntu 12.04" with four dots under it like it normally does before it loads the GUI. Any ideas on where I should start? [23:56] b14d3: Does Ctrl-Alt-F1 take you to a TTY? [23:57] b14d3: look at /var/log/Xorg.0.log [23:57] Checking xorg.0.log right now [23:59] Xorg log loks like it only has one real error in it, AIGLX error: dlopen...
