[00:00] <histo> b14d3: you can grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log
[00:00] <histo> b14d3: also check your lightdm log file
[00:00] <garrettkajmowicz> Any suggestions on who I might contact with boot script issues?
[00:01] <b14d3> Oh, that's way esaier. Alright it looks like it's failing to load fglrx module. That at least makes sense.
[00:01] <b14d3> I'll take a look into that and idle in here for a bit while I do. Thanks for the point in the right direction histo. I'll let you know what I find
[00:01] <histo> b14d3: you can confirm if you try and startx manually
[00:01] <histo> b14d3: np
[00:05] <mediacentaur> 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.
[00:08] <histo> mediacentaur: how are you mounting them via sshfs cifs nfs ???
[00:08] <mediacentaur> histo, trying to mount through cifs.
[00:11] <histo> mediacentaur: what line are you adding to fstab?
[00:12] <mediacentaur> histo, when i add the line: //192.168.1.102/WDTVLiveHub /mnt/WDTVLiveHub cifs guest,rw 0 0
[00:12] <mediacentaur> histo, and mount -a i get: mount error(13): Permission denied
[00:12] <mediacentaur> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[00:13] <bekks> mediacentaur: And what the manual mounting command line?
[00:13] <histo> mediacentaur: try mounting the share via command line mount -t cifs //some/server  /some/location
[00:13] <mediacentaur> histo, and i don't have any issues with the other share on the network.
[00:13] <histo> mediacentaur: does this one allow guest?
[00:13] <roasted> Question - I installed the 3.9 kernel because 3.8 is giving me lockup issues. Problem with 3.9 is my Broadcom wifi chip does not work. How can I get it running?
[00:14] <histo> !broadcom | roasted
[00:15] <mediacentaur> histo bekks : it asks for a password if i type mount -t cifs //192.168.1.102/WDTVLiveHub /mnt/WDTVLiveHub
[00:15] <mediacentaur> histo bekks: but there is no password
[00:15] <roasted> histo: that link is of no assistance as I already have broadcom-kernel-source installed.
[00:15] <roasted> 13.04 isn't even mentioned on that link. :/
[00:16] <b14d3> Alright, having another issue. Ubuntu thinks my HD is full. The only thing on this drive is the OS itself, and I don't have very many programs installed. This has happened frequently recently, I run a program called Bleachbit and it resolves itself. But like an idiot I didn't write down what directory it was deleting.
[00:16] <mediacentaur> histo, bekks: i can mount in nautilus without credentials.
[00:16] <histo> mediacentaur: try mounting from the command line
[00:16] <mediacentaur> histo, it asks for a password. but there is no password...
[00:17] <histo> b14d3: df -h
[00:17] <histo> mediacentaur: add the guest option
[00:17] <roasted> FATAL: Module wl not found.
[00:17] <histo> mediacentaur: mount -t cifs -o guest //some/server /some/path
[00:18] <b14d3> Hm. It looks like Overflow is mounted to my /tmp dir for some reason
[00:18] <mediacentaur> histo, mount error(13): Permission denied
[00:18] <mediacentaur> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[00:19] <histo> mediacentaur: so guest access isn't working. Perhaps nautilus is using your username
[00:20] <histo> roasted: isnt' it bcmwl-kernel-source package?
[00:20] <mediacentaur> histo, this device doesn't have that advanced of credentials.
[00:20] <roasted> histo: that's the driver as far as I know
[00:21] <histo> mediacentaur: are you sure you have the right ip etc...?  it's obviously not allowing guest
[00:22] <histo> mediacentaur: try with verbose output mount -t cifs --verbose -o guest //some/server /some/path
[00:22] <mediacentaur> histo, yes. positive. again, i can easily access in nautilus just by clicking network, the share name, and the directory
[00:23] <mediacentaur> histo, i get this: mount.cifs kernel mount options: ip=192.168.1.102,unc=\\192.168.1.102\WDTVLiveHub,guest,user=,pass=********
[00:23] <mediacentaur> mount error(13): Permission denied
[00:23] <mediacentaur> Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs)
[00:23] <mediacentaur> histo, i wonder why it's specifying a password when there isn't one...
[00:25] <histo> mediacentaur: is there any sort of log on the box that's sharing?
[00:28] <mediacentaur> histo, the dumb twonky server has one... but that's not what i'm accessing.
[00:33] <mediacentaur> histo, worth noting... i'm on 13.04... this was working earlier this week when i was using linux mint maya. however, when i upgraded to olivia, the installation  went haywire so i decided to switch back to ubuntu. I had used it in the past and have always had a hard time mounting this share compared to the other but never THIS bad...
[00:34] <roasted> Question - does anybody have any ideas on how to get Broadcom 43228 working with kernel 3.9 on Ubuntu 13.04? I installed kernel 3.9 to test since I'm having random lock-up issues on 3.8, but I have no wireless on 3.9 to make troubleshooting it for days on end tolerable.
[00:36] <delac> nice oneliner to rotate a image 360 in steps of 12 with imagemagic (and save each)?
[00:40] <b14d3> Alright, now when my machine boots I get a... vaguely purple (but otherwise blank) screen. Still check xorg log?
[00:41] <Morph4me> roasted you might want to look at this about half way down the page under section 1210/1304  > http://indykish.wordpress.com/2012/06/09/solved-wifi-7-2/

[00:43] <Marius80> hi :)
[00:44] <Marius80>  I am searching for a webbased CRM solution which is not sooo overload as vtiger or sugarcrm are.   I use otrs as a ticket system,  so I need to tickets.  What I need is a system,  to save every contact with a status.   Imagine,  I step into hundrets of shops every day and ask if they need my product.  So I just want to create a small note like "need to call back" or "not interested" or "call tomorrow"  so I will not forget about this
[00:44] <Marius80> after the person / company became a customer,  I want to change the status to "customer",  give a customer ID and write some infos about the products bought
[00:44] <Marius80> vtiger and sugarcrm were so overload,  I think it's really too much for what I want
[00:47] <b14d3> histo, you don't still happen to be around do you?
[00:47] <trism> delac: for I in {1..30}; do convert image_0.png -rotate "$((12*I))" "image_$I.png"; done

[00:53] <net0pssec> cant connect with ma host
[00:53] <Greygan> Dr_willis: Are you around?
[00:54] <mediacentaur> histo, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2139090
[00:55] <mediacentaur> histo, that sec=ntlm variable worked.
[00:57] <bekks> net0pssec: The vmware player is a standalone application, which cant connect to whatsoever.
[00:57] <mediacentaur> histo, thank you for your help, though. have a good day/evening.
[00:58] <net0pssec> bekks: really i have solved this b4 just cant remember how
[00:58] <shell`> with iptables, im trying to block the entire range 178.17.160.0/20 from connecting to my machine on port 80.. but on this same range i want to allow 178.17.166.33 to connect to me on port 80.. so i have these 2 lines: iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s 178.17.166.33 -j ACCEPT ; iptables -A INPUT -p tcp --dport 80 -s 178.17.160.0/20 -j DROP -- but yet 178.17.166.33 still cant connect on port
[00:58] <shell`> 80.. ?
[00:58] <shell`> i have ACCEPT first, then drop after
[00:58] <bekks> net0pssec: Impossible. The vmware player want ever, and isnt, capable of connecting to another host.
[00:59] <net0pssec> bekks: okay then
[00:59] <bekks> net0pssec: -want+wasnt
[01:00] <syntroPi> shell try revering the order of your rules
[01:00] <bekks> net0pssec: You are thinking of the vsphere client - but the linux days for it have passed long ago. Nowadays, there is no linux client for vmware.
[01:00] <shell`> the first line is accept, the 2nd is drop.. is that not how its suppose to be ?

[01:18] <shadykhan> im using gnome 3.8 and whenever i try changing settings i have to go the system preference menu i cant rightclick on my desktop and change background
[01:19] <mayhew> shadykhan: are you sure you're using GNOME 3.8?
[01:20] <syntroPi> shadykhan, try reading about gnome-tweak-tool
[01:22] <shadykhan> mayhew yes
[01:22] <shadykhan> syntroPi, i already have it ill look into it some more
[01:24] <syntroPi> shadykhan, idk but i think its somewhat like "let nautilus draw desktop" or such
[01:26] <servvs> I am trying to install a linux distro via unetbootin on a usb drive, it seems to have broken my usb drive though. It won't boot and it no longer shows up in my media
[01:26] <syntroPi> shadykhan, at least in 3.6 this worked for my gnome-shell
[01:26] <shadykhan> syntroPi, well the thing is it worked on a fresh install
[01:27] <shadykhan> the only i installed affecting gnome is the extensions im going to try disabling everything and see how it is
[01:27] <ntuh> Is this the right channel to ask for help?
[01:28] <syntroPi> shadykhan, try login out and relogin from gdm or lightdm after you changed your settings
[01:28] <delac> trism: thanks, but I figured it out already :)
[01:28] <wilee-nilee> shadykhan, You can reload the gnome de 3 with alt-f1-r
[01:28] <wilee-nilee> oops alt-f2-r*
[01:29] <servvs> I am trying to install a linux distro via unetbootin on a usb drive, it seems to have broken my usb drive though. It won't boot and it no longer shows up in my media
[01:30] <syntroPi> servvs, i always preferred to install it from a running live iso from within a virtualbox with startup media creator. in vbox you can bind a usb device exclusively to the vm
[01:31] <servvs> that seems like a good idea syntroPi thanks for the tip
[01:31] <syntroPi> servvs, you can format it with a new fat32 partition in startup media creator or gparted
[01:31] <delac> jrib: yes. turns out I had made .baks of some .la files year or two ago, when I tried to compile GNOME from sources (GNOME doesn't like them or something). Back then I couldnt find any adverse effects of doing that. Turns out there is. :) Sorry to bother with that.
[01:31] <servvs> how so syntroPi? Just erasing the disk?
[01:32] <syntroPi> servvs, you need to plug it in, add it to the usb options of your vm, then plugout, start vm replugin and
[01:32] <ntuh> I'm trying to install on an external hard drive, do I need to make  a new partition, if I dont want to lose data on the hard drive etc
[01:32] <syntroPi> well if you want to have a new filesystem on it: yes.   BUT be carefull to choose right drive DONT erase your HDD
[01:32] <syntroPi> servvs, ^^
[01:33] <shadykhan> Also i use sublime text 2 and there is a feature where i can multi select using the mousewheel but it doenst work in ubuntu any idea how i can fix
[01:33] <servvs> haha, understand, and thanks again syntroPi
[01:36] <syntroPi> shadykhan, maybe you can try xinput to investigate and correct ?
[01:42] <wicked> is there any way to ban ips from accessing a server from a list like rbl lists?
[01:49] <ntuh> I'm trying to install on an external hard drive,
[01:51] <wilee-nilee> ntuh, Ubuntu needs its own partition, on a external it will not be very fast.
[01:52] <achuinard> I use unoconv (https://github.com/dagwieers/unoconv) on my Amazon EC2 instance to convert DOCX to PDF.  I cloned this repo locally and it was able to convert a Japanese file fine, but on my EC2 instance I get all question marks back in the PDF - as if the LibreOffice install on my EC2 instance doesn't have international language support?  Or is it possible that's something at the OS level?  I'm unsure how to get this fixed.
[01:52] <achuinard> My EC2 instance is Ubuntu
[01:54] <b14d3> Ubuntu is now booting to a plain black screen. No cursor or anything. Any hints on where to go from here?
[01:55] <hedgehog351> Hi, I've got some old /home/ folders from previous installs that are encrypted.  I just want to make room on my drive and do not care about recovering them.  If I just rm -rf the folders will it free up the space for me?  Right now the folders only display 2 text files and claim they only take up a few bytes of space which is definately wrong (the home files are encrypted so the true space is not given)
[01:57] <goddard> is there a way to figure out why my system shut off?
[01:57] <goddard> it just randomly shut off
[02:00] <|R7|> If i am going to fresh install ubuntu rather than dual boot which i have now, should i upgrade to 13.04 or stay with 12.04?
[02:01] <Dat> |R7|: personsal pref
[02:03] <goddard> |R7|: i would install xubuntu 13.04 if i was you
[02:04] <goddard> |R7|: but ya if you just want the latest and greatest 13.04 is recommend the LTS is really just for companies
[02:05] <b14d3> I can't boot into any kind of a gui. I get a plain black screen with no cursor. I've tried updating grub to have nomodeset, and have tried removing and replacing fglrx. I can get into my machine via terminal, just no gui.

[02:07] <goddard> b14d3: how old is your system?
[02:07] <mojtaba> Hi, I made a twitter account right now and a pop comes out and asked me to give access to ubuntu online to use my account. What is that for?
[02:07] <mojtaba> should I give it the access, or it is spying on people?
[02:07] <b14d3> About 2.5 years
[02:08] <mojtaba> What about other accounts? like gmail? because I made a gmail account and this question pops up again.
[02:08] <elisa87> any thought on this? valgrind : Depends: libc6-dbg but it is not going to be installed
[02:10] <samgabbay> when i press play or pause or skip it shows me a big x on my screen
[02:10] <goddard> b14d3: i have a few AMD systems and I never ran into any issues of needing to setup some grub changes
[02:10] <samgabbay> actually a circle with a bar in the middle
[02:10] <tempestchant> Hello all, new to this channel
[02:10] <ur0pl> hi
[02:11] <b14d3> goddard, it was really a shot in the dark based off of an askubuntu quote.
[02:11] <goddard> b14d3: but my systems aren't older than about 1.5 years
[02:11] <mojtaba> hello?
[02:11] <tempestchant> hi
[02:11] <goddard> b14d3: do you have any video cards laying around?
[02:11] <goddard> b14d3: what card do you have now btw?
[02:11] <b14d3> It's an AMD but I don't remember details right now. And no I actually don't have any extras laying around. This was literally working earlier today
[02:11] <mojtaba> Hi, I made a twitter account right now and a pop comes out and asked me to give access to ubuntu online to use my account. What is that for?
[02:11] <mojtaba> should I give it the access, or it is spying on people? What about other accounts? like gmail? because I made a gmail account and this question pops up again.
[02:12] <kostkon> mojtaba, you are being asked to give permission to ubuntu's online accounts to access your twitter data. it's how twitter works (and many other services)
[02:12] <mojtaba> kostkon: Is it secure? (I am new to ubuntu and twitter)
[02:12] <goddard> b14d3: well try a live distro and see if it runs ok if it does it isn't bad hardware
[02:13] <kostkon> mojtaba, probably.
[02:13] <mojtaba> kostkon: What does it do exactly, if I give permission to this app to have access to my data?
[02:14] <goddard> mojtaba: dude google gives access to your data to anyone and sells it haha
[02:14] <kostkon> mojtaba, it can then show your twitter feed in gwibber for example or in the dash etc. without asking you again for your credentials. actually ubuntu does not store your twitter credential, it just gets a key that it uses to access your data from twitter
[02:15] <goddard> the ubuntu online accounts are really not needed it is more for mobile devices
[02:16] <mojtaba> kostkon: Then it is just for showing the result in dash just to me?
[02:16] <goddard> you can use the applications seperately without using that
[02:16] <kostkon> mojtaba, or other apps that support the onlines accounts, eg gwibber, i think, and the new app call friends and the dash of course
[02:17] <kostkon> called*
[02:17] <kostkon> online*
[02:17] <kostkon> etc*
[02:18] <erpo> mojtaba: In a nutshell, this gives Ubuntu applications access to your account, so they can do whatever they want with your data. If you trust them, it might be a good idea to authorize them. If you don't trust them, then don't authorize them.
[02:19] <palantir> I've googled, but I can't find a definitive answer as to why Ubuntu uses ~/.profile instead of ~/.bash_profile.  It was my understanding these files should be read in order and which ever one is found first is run, but it seems that most Ubuntu howtos say to use ~/.profile, why?
[02:19] <kostkon> mojtaba, you can revoke the access at any time by visiting the twitter home page in your browser and clicking on your account settings
[02:19] <goddard> most people let google reach their hand into the data pot for free services and convience so allowing ubuntu to do it would only be fair right :D
[02:22] <erpo> goddard: Whether or not people allow a specific entity access to their data depends on how much they trust that entity. For me personally, the first thing I did was uninstall the Amazon lens in Unity, simply for the reason that Canonical should know better than to suck up personal user data by default for no benefit. It's conduct unbecoming a free software developer, and it makes me suspicious.
[02:23] <erpo> goddard: That's what's right for me. Other people are going to make different calls depending on how they feel about the entities involved.
[02:23] <goddard> erpo: hahah dude canonical is a company and they are trying to make money and so is google i doubt it is trust more ignorance or lack of caring
[02:24] <goddard> erpo: so if you give up a little bit of privacy so canonical can make some money it might make the Linux desktop better
[02:25] <goddard> just like if you use google they will read your emails, give it to the government, and market their products to you for using their services.
[02:26] <erpo> goddard: I've made my choice. :)
[02:27] <goddard> erpo: what makes you think i am trying to change your mind.  if you dont agree with what canonical is doing you should really use a different os entirely
[02:27] <bazhang> !ot | goddard erpo
[02:30] <resque> how can i get detailed information about the hardware connected to my computer, for example motherboard and its onboard components (for example onboard sound or IO ports)
[02:31] <clcto> lspci
[02:31] <resque> extra information like chipset would be nice.
[02:31] <bazhang> sudo lshw resque
[02:31] <IdleOne> you can also install hardinfo
[02:31] <bazhang> dmidecode as well resque
[02:31] <goddard> do we have one of those hardware info scripts like in Arch?
[02:32] <goddard> you know the terminal program
[02:32] <goddard> ?
[02:32] <bazhang> !info hardinfo
[02:33] <goddard> oh ya here it is http://www.distrogeeks.com/install-archey-in-ubuntu/
[02:33] <goddard> its called Archy
[02:34] <johnjohn1011> that's it!!
[02:34] <madprops> so, apt-get or aptitude?
[02:35] <goddard> madprops: get apt-fast
[02:36] <kppa> is there a to send code over IRC (multi line without your name appearing before each line)?
[02:36] <b14d3> Using a pastebin like it recommends in the rules
[02:36] <goddard> kppa: my editor does that for me
[02:36] <kppa> k
[02:36] <kppa> I mean
[02:36] <kppa> if you run your own IRC server
[02:37] <kppa> still cant do it?
[02:37] <resque> bazhang: idleone clctothanks a lot for the help guys
[02:37] <goddard> kppa: oh no idea
[02:37] <FloodBot1> kppa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[02:37] <kppa> Ok. Is there a recommendation for something like a view only vnc, but only for text?
[02:37] <resque> bazhang: i think dmide is what i am looking for.
[02:37] <kppa> I'm looking for something like collabedit, piratepad, etc -- but without dependency on the internet (just LAN)
[02:38] <kppa> and without me having to save every time for other people to see the changes
[02:39] <resque> bazhang: are there any other system tables like DMI that low level hardware would rely on for information?
[02:39] <goddard> kppa: i think the easiest way over lan is just vnc
[02:39] <kppa> goddard: but vnc is too bandwidth heavy for my need
[02:39] <kppa> e.g. if there are 10, 20 clients
[02:39] <goddard> kppa: what are you trying to send?
[02:40] <kppa> goddard: live coding lessons
[02:40] <kppa> for a group of students
[02:40] <goddard> kppa: then use scp
[02:40] <kppa> scp as in copy the files?
[02:40] <kppa> but i want them to see as I'm typing
[02:40] <goddard> kppa: then you will need to have a local server
[02:40] <kppa> yeah
[02:40] <goddard> kppa: probably a web server
[02:41] <kppa> that's not a problem
[02:41] <kppa> just need it to be live
[02:41] <goddard> kppa: there is stuff like that available open source and live
[02:41] <goddard> i think we used it for ubuntu's UDS
[02:41] <kppa> do you happen to know any names?
[02:42] <virusuy> hi guys
[02:43] <goddard> kppa: its not coming to me right now
[02:43] <chaotix> Regarding facebook and online accounts, what IS the deal already???   why has not an update fixed this mess?
[02:43] <kppa> goddard: k thx I will look around
[02:43] <chaotix> none of the band aids listed on the bug report have worked for me either
[02:43] <chaotix> :(
[02:44] <elisa87> Why am I receiving this?  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py", line 157, in makedirs
[02:44] <chaotix> and if i am going to 'buntu it, i want to be in it all the way
[02:44] <chaotix> lol
[02:44] <tgm4883> goddard, kppa etherpad probably
[02:44] <jrib> elisa87: give full input and full output
[02:44] <goddard> chaotix: my honest opinion is because facebook isn't great
[02:44] <jrib> erm
[02:45] <goddard> tgm4883: thats the one
[02:46] <chaotix> goddard, i know, i know...  but everyone else has it  :(
[02:46] <chaotix> at least it isn't twitter
[02:46] <chaotix> ugh
[02:47] <chaotix> i will NEVER use twitter, and that is a promise...  who wants to shout from a rooftop like a madman?  and another thing, who thinks they are so important as to merit "followers"?  as if they think they are Jesus or Muhammad or something
[02:47] <goddard> chaotix: you just wanna chat with facebook people?
[02:47] <jrib> !ot
[02:47] <chaotix> okies
[02:48] <goddard> chaotix: you could try bitlebee
[02:48] <elisa87> http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753573/ why I have write permission when installing with pip?
[02:48] <goddard> its terminal based but use a gauke terminal and your good to go
[02:49] <goddard> i prefer terminal programs so much lighter and no fluff
[02:49] <chaotix> goddard, i had not heard of that before...  seems interesting...    (if we are going to continue about this topic it would probably be best to do so next door in #ubuntu-offtopic)
[02:50] <goddard> chaotix: nah man this is on topic its support
[02:50] <goddard> chaotix: he was talking about your hating twitter thing
[02:50] <IdleOne> goddard: actually, it is all fluff
[02:50] <goddard> or she
[02:50] <chaotix> ok
[02:50] <tgm4883> hmm, I appear to have somehow inadvertedly upgraded to saucy on this laptop.....
[02:50] <IdleOne> take the fluff to -offtopic please
[02:50] <goddard> IdleOne: haha ya i should just connect myself to the cat5 cable
[02:50] <goddard> cat6*
[02:50] <chaotix> mmmm fluff
[02:53] <jrib> elisa87: what directory did you execute this in? Do you really want to do this as root?  Why don't you install locally for the user?  Or better yet, why not use virtualenv?  Also, paste output of « ls -ld /research/jalal/profiling/build »
[02:53] <elisa87> I execute it in /research/jalal jrib
[02:55] <elisa87> jrib:  I am installing it in home and I have this error: ls -ld /home/jalal

[02:56] <jrib> elisa87: you're changing what you are doing now?
[02:56] <elisa87> jrib: nothing except the directory
[02:56] <elisa87> I don't know what I should do
[02:56] <Tking> hello, am using lenovo u410 but i noticed that my battery says i have 1hr to full charge sometimes it up or down. Over 4 hours its not fully charged now i unplug it says 2.17mins remaining for past 40 mins
[02:56] <jrib> elisa87: ok.  Pastebin full input and full output.
[02:57] <jrib> elisa87: if you change what you are doing then we need to start over because I don't know what you are doing now
[02:57] <goddard> Tking: battery management is kind of horrible in Linux
[02:57] <elisa87> jrib http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753591/
[02:57] <Tking> goddard  i see so no solution right it scares me
[02:58] <sporks> is there a gui way to control screen brightness in 12.04?
[02:58] <sere> Tking: thats not right at all.. i get nothing like that with all my labtops.. are you sure its not software related?
[02:58] <jrib> elisa87: Do you really want to do this as root?  Why don't you install locally for the user?  Or better yet, why not use virtualenv?  Also, paste output of « ls -ld /home/jalal/build /home/jalal/.pip / /home /home/jalal »
[02:58] <Guest58957> Sporks, search for Birghtness
[02:58] <Guest58957> Brightness*
[02:59] <Tking> sere this is a fresh install of ubuntu and its my only OS
[03:00] <elisa87> what is virtualenv for pip jrib
[03:00] <jrib> elisa87: virtualenv lets you create self-contained python environments so you don't pollute your system's python
[03:00] <elisa87> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753597/
[03:01] <elisa87> I have never installed packages using pip that's why I am clueless jrib
[03:01] <elisa87> jrib: it worked without sudo ...thanks a lot
[03:02] <goddard> Tking: there is battery top
[03:03] <goddard> Tking: you can see where all the power is going and possibly stop some of the services or processes you dont need running
[03:03] <goddard> Tking: ubuntu is kind of good and bad like that where it trys to make sure everything works for the newbie
[03:03] <elisa87> jrib:  my bad! it didn't install http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753599/
[03:05] <jrib> elisa87: what ubuntu version are you using?
[03:05] <elisa87> jrib: 12.04 precise LTS
[03:05] <Greygan> OK folks, one quick question. I have everything working correctly with the Gnome release of 13.04 but I need to put in a better Nvidia driver. The last two times I tried I hased Gnome out to the point I had to reinstall. Any suggestions on which Driver to use? (Nvidia 7900GTX)
[03:06] <jrib> elisa87: you can try "pip install --user Glances" It will install to your user's HOME
[03:06] <Greygan> *hosed
[03:06] <jrib> elisa87: or use virtualenv
[03:07] <goddard> Greygan: go into ubuntu software sources and install the highest version number listed
[03:07] <goddard> Greygan: it is in the additional drivers tab
[03:08] <tgm4883> How do you hose gnome by installing a driver?
[03:08] <tgm4883> can't you just uninstall the driver and remove xorg.conf?
[03:08] <Greygan> goddard: that is what I did last time and could no longer boot into the GUI
[03:08] <elisa87> jrib: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753604/
[03:08] <sere> Greygan: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[03:09] <Greygan> k thanks guys. cross your fingers... LOL
[03:09] <jrib> elisa87: that's pretty broken :/  I guess you will have to use sudo then and install it system-wide
[03:09] <elisa87> what do you mean to install it system wide? jrib
[03:09] <goddard> Greygan: it should work fine
[03:10] <jrib> elisa87: with sudo, pip will install it system-wide (in /usr/local)
[03:11] <Greygan> goddard: maybe it was something else that killed it. I had installed several items along with the new driver... probably just paranoid since I finally have everything else working right.
[03:11] <goddard> Greygan: well no worries man i installed so many times when i first started
[03:11] <goddard> Greygan: better to get good at it than be afraid of failing
[03:11] <Greygan> LOL this is my 8th install
[03:12] <Greygan> I have learned alot though
[03:13] <jrib> elisa87: it could somehow be related to the fact that you have pip in /usr/local/ instead of using the repositories.  Though I'm not sure exactly how.
[03:15] <sere> Greygan: how did it go?
[03:15] <Greygan> still installing
[03:15] <sere> Greygan: oh ok :x
[03:18] <jj123> how can I get the .config file used to build my kernel? (I'm actually looking for the .config for linux-image-powerpc-e500mc)
[03:19] <sporks> so brightness can't be adjusted on a usb live cd not installed?

[03:23] <tgm4883> meth... not even once
[03:24] <booh> I'm on 12.10 and I would like Qt5-SDK for dev... is it possible?
[03:25] <kostkon> booh, yeah http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/#step-get-toolkit
[03:26] <Greygan> BRB going to reboot and see what happens.
[03:26] <kostkon> booh, hope you meant the ubuntu touch sdk
[03:26] <nydel> question (string manipulation from command line): if i'm doing "cat file | grep string" but i want to cut each returned line off after the character "M" ?
[03:27] <nydel> a line might be "this has the string and a M is here also" but i want it to print "this has the string and a "
[03:28] <booh> kostkon, not the touch.... I want to dev desktop Qt app...
[03:30] <elisa87> Why am I receiving an error like this? W: Failed to fetch http://ppa.launchpad.net/ackondro/tibesti/ubuntu/dists/precise/main/binary-amd64/Packages  404  Not Found
[03:31] <booh> for now apt-get install qt-sdk is downloading/installing.. but I would like Qt5 in package... not to have to install it manually..
[03:31] <booh> Should I upgrade to 13.04 ?
[03:32] <kostkon> booh, add just the ppa canonical-qt5-edgers/qt5-proper then
[03:33] <kostkon> booh, but if you also add the other one, the ppa:ubuntu-sdk-team/ppa, you will also get the latest qtcreator
[03:33] <Greygan> OK... How do I fix it? LOL Instead of the log in screen I get a solid black page with no mouse...
[03:34] <resque> when i log in to any account the screen goes black like the login worked but then drops me back to the login screen. any idea why?
[03:34] <resque> i can log in from one of the tty consoles
[03:35] <Greygan> After installing the Nvidia driver that is...
[03:35] <Greygan> sere: any suggestions?
[03:37] <sporks> I installed xbacklight but it's not on the gnome desktop panel..how do I find and use it?
[03:37] <booh> kostkon, is it modify versions or original from Digia?
[03:37] <sere> Greygan: i think thats a resolution issue..
[03:38] <kostkon> booh, i think it's regular qt5
[03:38] <Greygan> sere: how do I get in to change the res?
[03:38] <sere> Greygan: one sec im looking something up
[03:38] <booh> ok I give it a try..
[03:39] <Greygan> btw, this is exactly what happened before. I just didnt bother trying to fix it and just reloaded.
[03:42] <sere> Greygan: there is a key combination to change the resolution...i think its shift plus alt plus + at the same time
[03:42] <b14d3> I actually am having the same problem as Greygan but with an ATI card
[03:43] <Greygan> sere:: cool thanks. I will try that and be back shortly (had to boot in to the horrid Windows load)
[03:43] <sere> Greygan: ok ill do some more searching
[03:46] <elisa87> I am receiving lots of "W: Failed to fetch http://archive.ubuntu.com..."errors when doing sudo apt-get update...any clue? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753673/
[03:48] <sporks> xbacklight -set 50....doesnt work even though xbacklight is installed
[03:53] <xangua> elisa87: why did you exactly add repositories from dapper (6.06)¿
[03:54] <Sullane> Hello
[03:55] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Hello
[03:55] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Anyone on here know what minecraft is
[03:56] <clcto> HeyMan7-Cloud: yes and just ask your question
[03:56] <HeyMan7-Cloud> I did yesterday no one answered me
[03:56] <Greygan> sere: no luck. I did manage to log in through TTY1 but when i hit f7 I get a blank screen that is out of res
[03:57] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Do you know what wom is also?
[03:58] <clcto> just ask you whole question on one line
[03:59] <sere> Greygan: do you know how to use irssi?
[03:59] <Greygan> sere: dont even know what it is :(
[03:59] <clcto> do you think magic happens and everyone that can help you is always notified when you ask in irc? people are active at different times. and if that doesnt work go to the forums
[03:59] <Matthew_Moore> Hey Guys, whats the command to launch Guvcveiw?  i am trying to create a Shortcut.
[04:00] <sere> Greygan: you can install irssi (console irc client) and switch between terminals like you talked about so you dont have to reboot to windows
[04:01] <Greygan> ah OK
[04:01] <Greygan> apt get irssi ?
[04:01] <HeyMan7-Cloud> When I open the program (wom - minecraft classic client) it works fine until I click and always displays a menu
[04:01] <sere> Greygan: by any change did you try CTRL ALT + or - sorry i told you wrong
[04:01] <sere> Greygan: sudo apt-get install irssi
[04:01] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Doesn't make sence if you don't know what wom is
[04:02] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Its java based
[04:02] <Greygan> sere: yes I tried ctrl alt +/-
[04:03] <sere> Greygan: once installed connect to a server with /server irc.freenode.net and channel with /join #ubuntu
[04:03] <sere> Greygan: are you on windows now?
[04:03] <Sullane> Hey can anyone help me get rid of linux and redownload windows (I
[04:03] <Greygan> k brb in terminal
[04:03] <Sullane> 'm trying to dual boot it and windows cd isn't running with linux)
[04:04] <sere> Greygan: ok
[04:04] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane
[04:04] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Do you have a windows disk
[04:04] <Sullane> Yes
[04:04] <Sullane> it wouldn't boot from the CD though
[04:04] <Sullane> even if I put it to boot menu and stuff
[04:04] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Why is that
[04:04] <Sullane> no clue
[04:04] <Sullane> I tried it on my desktop (no linux) and it worked perfectly fine
[04:05] <clcto> Sullane: error message?
[04:05] <clcto> Sullane: that is loaded before any linux if you select the disk drive from bios boot options.
[04:05] <clcto> Sullane: meaning, linux is not the problem
[04:06] <Sullane> but the Ubuntu CD is working perfectly fine
[04:06] <resque> when i log in through tty i get the error "no home dir", i checked passwd file and there is a dir listed and i checked the permision on the dir and everything is fine. furthermore when i log in through the x window manager i get a login loop where i login and it puts me back to the login screen
[04:06] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: Have you tried running windows installer (Cd) in Linux?
[04:07] <resque> i created a new user using adduser script, the new user fails as well, recently i deleted my home dir and the tmp file. any ideas whats going on?
[04:07] <Sullane> what do you mean?
[04:08] <greygan> sere: I am in irssi :)
[04:08] <HeyMan7-Cloud> When you are running Linux, put the Windows cd and try to run the installer
[04:08] <HeyMan7-Cloud> put in the windows*
[04:08] <sere> greygan: good job :)
[04:08] <Sullane> I see a few folders
[04:08] <Sullane> an auto run file
[04:08] <Sullane> I believe a setup.exe file
[04:09] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Oh, .exe will not run
[04:09] <sere> greygan: try this : sudo nvidia-settings --uninstall
[04:09] <sere> greygan: then     sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
[04:09] <greygan> k sec
[04:09] <sere> ok
[04:10] <m000gle> Is there any way to prevent Ubuntu 13.04 from attempting to mount an iPhone?  When I plug mine in to charge, it results in a half dozen pop-ups asking me what to do, whether to launch an application (for photo/audio media) etc.
[04:10] <Sullane> I see
[04:10] <ChogyDan> help, my unity autohide feature is broken.  It won't show with the mouse
[04:10] <resque> i think my login issue might have something to do with the /tmp folder i deleted. could some run "ls -ld /tmp" and tell what what permitions it should have
[04:11] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: What you should have done was installed Windows first, then use wubi to dual boot ubuntu
[04:11] <HeyMan7-Cloud> That's what I use
[04:11] <ChogyDan> resque: mine is 777, but I think /tmp should be deletable
[04:11] <Sullane> Yeah I'm trying to put windows back instead of linux
[04:11] <Sullane> and then do that
[04:11] <m000gle> ChogyDan: Try hitting your super (windows) key, and see if the sidebar and launcher appear.  My Unity has this glitch too, from time to time, but is easily solved by hitting that key.
[04:11] <Sullane> now I'm stuck with Linux which doesn't run unless my power cord is plugged into my laptop
[04:12] <Sullane> probably due to something about my graphics card
[04:12] <ChogyDan> m000gle: yes, hitting the key works, but I want the mouse to work as well
[04:12] <resque> ChogyDan: thanks, i have no idea why this is failing then
[04:12] <greygan> sere: not having any luck with the first command does it need apt-get in front of it?
[04:12] <Sullane> and not able to put windows in
[04:12] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: Xp?
[04:12] <sere> greygan: no you problably dont have nvidia-settings installed
[04:12] <m000gle> ChogyDan: Not sure, then.  I've just resigned myself to using that work around.  Best of luck!
[04:12] <ChogyDan> I try smashing the mouse against the side, and that usually works.  I was trying some other settings, try to get the sensitivity as high as possible, but now it doesn't work at all.  Only the key works
[04:12] <ChogyDan> m000gle: thanks  :)
[04:13] <greygan> ok, on to the purge then
[04:13] <sere> greygan: on askubuntu website its sayin if you uninstall everything and basicly start from scratch it should work
[04:13] <Sullane> I'm trying to put 7 in. I had 8 previously, but my friend gave me his 7 CD
[04:13] <greygan> can you give me the command to purge it again pls? I cant scroll up
[04:13] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: What brand pc?
[04:14] <Sullane> Lenovo
[04:14] <tucemiux> how do we configure video cards nowadays???
[04:14] <Sullane> z585
[04:14] <lasers> resque: What is your "ls -ld /tmp" -- I don't think ChogyDan is correct about deleting /tmp
[04:14] <tucemiux> !nvidia
[04:14] <sere> greygan: sure: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
[04:14] <resque> lasers: now it is 777 root root
[04:14] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: When you boot up with the cd, try pressing f2 muntiple times
[04:14] <HeyMan7-Cloud> multiple*
[04:15] <lasers> resque: drwxrwxrwt ? You likely miss t if you mkdir /tmp
[04:15] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: Sorry, not f2, f12
[04:15] <Sullane> I've gotten to the boot menu and forced it to load my DVD drive first and also have sent it to load from DVD drive but it it just goes back into ubuntu
[04:15] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Hmm
[04:16] <resque> lasers: yes that is the same output as me drwxrwxrwt 9 root root
[04:16] <ChogyDan> resque: do you have space on your drive?
[04:17] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Sullane: So, it works in your friends machine?
[04:17] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Booting and all
[04:17] <resque> lasers:  i deleted my home dir and tmp dir after i rebooted my computer i can no longer login from the x11 desktop manager. i login and then it just takes me back to the login screen again. i created a new user with adduser script same thing.
[04:17] <TheCrownedFox> Is there a way to tell what wireless driver I'm using?
[04:17] <HeyMan7-Cloud> I'm sure there is a terminal cmd for it
[04:18] <HeyMan7-Cloud> Lemme look it up for you
[04:18] <resque> ChogyDan: df reports there is use 28%  but i did run sfill right after deleteing temp and home folder
[04:18] <Sullane> well it works on my own computer (home computer never had linux downloaded)
[04:18] <resque> ChogyDan: 28% use
[04:18] <greygan> sere: OK I had to modify the command a bit (sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current) but did that. f7 screen is the same should I reboot now or reload it first?
[04:18] <Sullane> I think it has to do with GRUB or something (linux newbie I might just be spouting garbage)
[04:18] <sere> greygan: no not yet
[04:18] <greygan> sere: k
[04:18] <ChogyDan> resque: ah, I've had issues logging in with a deleted /home.  again, I don't think /tmp is the issue.  According to debian policy, /tmp should be deleted with every reboot, or at least potentially
[04:18] <tucemiux> sere, thanks! that one did it, now how do I download the drivers for nvidia??  the additional drivers icon is no longer there
[04:19] <resque> ChogyDan: thanks for the advice, not sure what the issue is then. if i log in via tty i get the error no home dir using /
[04:19] <HeyMan7-Cloud> TheCrownedFox: Check this - http://askubuntu.com/questions/96333/what-wireless-driver-am-i-using
[04:20] <tucemiux> !nvidia
[04:20] <sere> greygan: were you able to run : sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia*
[04:20] <sere> tucemiux: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:20] <TheCrownedFox> HeyMan7-Cloud, thanks I'll check it out
[04:21] <sere> greygan: you still need to remove the nvidia drivers and then reinstall them before rebootr
[04:21] <ChogyDan> resque: i think there are certain files in /home that the GUI stuff needs.  I ended up just reinstalling, cause my issue was a little different.  But it was the same issue: no home directory, couldn't login via gui
[04:21] <greygan> sere: i ran (sudo apt-get purge nvidia-current) should i go back and do it again with the full command?
[04:21] <tucemiux> sere, then reboot and thats it?
[04:22] <resque> ChogyDan: wouldnt the files needed by the GUi be created when i create a new user?
[04:22] <sere> greygan: nvidia-curent should actauly be ok
[04:22] <ChogyDan> resque: are you using a GUI?  if yes, then I would think yes
[04:23] <tucemiux> sere, ok i installed the drivers, im going for a reboot, brb
[04:23] <greygan> so just reinstall the drivers via (sudo apt-get nvidia-current) and reboot?
[04:23] <lasers> resque: What's the old username? New username?
[04:23] <sere> greygan: yup
[04:23] <greygan> err sudo apt get install nvidia-current i mean.. LOL
[04:24] <resque> lasers: old username "user" new username "ben", created using adduser script
[04:24] <greygan> sere: cool will try that and report back. Thanks this irssi helps ALOT
[04:24] <sere> greygan: your welcome :)
[04:25] <Sullane> hello?
[04:25] <resque> ChogyDan: i am using the TTY console 1, i can see the login screen GUI. but when i login blankscreen then it puts me back to the desktop
[04:27] <greygan> sere: OK I ran the full purge just for good measure, reinstalled and about to reboot. wish me luck LOL
[04:27] <sere> resque: do you get a X11 error
[04:27] <resque> sere: where would i see this error?
[04:27] <sere> greygan: i have faith in you :)
[04:28] <sere> resque: did it kick you out of X or are you just getting a black screen
[04:28] <resque> sere: after login i only see a blank screen for a few seconds, then right back to the login screen
[04:29] <lasers> resque: Can you stop lightdm service, go to TTY1, and "startx" -- It might spill out useful information (during, or at end of session).
[04:29] <resque> lasers: will do
[04:30] <greygan> sere: same thing :(
[04:31] <sere> greygan: black screen?
[04:31] <greygan> yes
[04:31] <tucemiux> sere, installing nvidia-current makes my resolution really big and I don't have an option to change the resolution
[04:31] <sere> greygan: sudo dpkg-reconfigure xserver-xorg
[04:32] <tucemiux> greygan, no, if you have a blackscreen check to see where ubuntu is sending output to, it could be sending output to onboard video rather than another video card
[04:32] <resque> lasers: only error i can see is /root/.Xauthority does not exsist, but i think thats cus i ran startx as root
[04:33] <lasers> resque: Interesting. Try running that as ben.
[04:33] <sere> tucemiux: you can change resolutions in the console with ctrl alt + or -..try that first
[04:33] <greygan> I have no onboard video but do have 2 monitors connected... hmm
[04:34] <tucemiux> sere, thats not it, im not talking about the size of the text, the actual resolution, im stuck on 640x800, i think
[04:34] <greygan> Thats it!!! the display is on my secondary monitor (That I dont use) that used to be mirrored
[04:35] <greygan> brb folks
[04:35] <resque> lasers: ah got an error in a GUI box could not update ICEauthority file /,ICEauthority
[04:35] <sere> greygan: aewesome :)
[04:35] <tucemiux> greygan, what type of outputs do you use? HDMI needs to be configured, VGA should work
[04:35] <greygan> both HDMI
[04:35] <lasers> resque: Ah, nice! We're getting somewhere. :)
[04:36] <greygan> err DVI
[04:36] <sere> tucemiux: so you can boot into X its just stuck on 640?
[04:36] <tucemiux> sere, would you happen to know how were supposed to change the resolution nowadays?
[04:37] <tucemiux> sere, yes, im going to fireup a command line but if I log out is because ubuntu crashed and logged me out
[04:37] <resque> lasers: also on ttu2 i see timeout in locking authority fie //.Xauthority
[04:37] <sere> tucemiux: xrandr if you can boot into x
[04:37] <lasers> resque: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Troubleshooting#Desktop_Environments
[04:37] <ForSpareParts> Anybody know how to get a sliding window open effect for compiz under 13.04?
[04:37] <tucemiux> sere, current 640 x 480, maximum 640 x 480
[04:37] <ForSpareParts> Apparently the old way to do it was with the "Skewer" effect, but that's gone now.
[04:37] <lasers> resque: (Problem: "I get the session lasted less than 10 seconds..."
[04:38] <tucemiux> sere, how can I tell what video drivers im using right now???
[04:38] <sere> tucemiux: you can addmodes but you should have to
[04:38] <resque> lasers: reading now, thanks for taking the time to help
[04:39] <lasers> resque: Sure. Let me know if that worked. :)
[04:39] <tucemiux> how can I install gnome??
[04:39] <sere> tucemiux: sudo lshw -C display ; dpkg -l grep nvidia
[04:40] <tucemiux> dpkg-query: no packages found matching nvidia
[04:41] <resque> lasers: will do, seems as though there is no .ICEAuthority file in my home dir
[04:41] <lasers> tucemiux: Peeking in /var/log/Xorg.0.log is usually more than enough. Also, for Nvidia/Nouveau... you can try "lsmod | grep ^n"
[04:41] <tucemiux> what happened?
[04:42] <greygan> sere: I got it! thank you guys so much!!! I never even thought about it taking me out of my mirrored config
[04:42] <tucemiux> sere, please repost, i cleared my xchat console by mistake
[04:42] <sere> greygan: your welcome .. glad you got it working
[04:42] <tucemiux> greygan, im doing the same thing right now o.O
[04:43] <greygan> tucemiux: good luck. Mine seems to be working great again
[04:43] <greygan> brb dropping out of TTY
[04:43] <greygan> exit
[04:43] <resque> lasers: ok found a new error, i think this is the root cause. When i log in with ben account "No Directory, loggin in with HOME=/"
[04:43] <tucemiux> sere, lets try it again, something is fishy,  im going to purge, reboot, then come back and let me know what command to run to install nvidia
[04:44] <lasers> resque: Hmm. No /home/ben?
[04:44] <resque> lasers: there is a home dir /home/ben, i do have ownership and read/write permitions and it is listed inside of passwd
[04:44] <sere> tucemiux: you shouldnt have to do it again
[04:45] <resque> lasers: from the passwd file: ben:x:1003:1003:ben,1,,:/home/ben:bin:bash
[04:45] <goddard> my nvidia gpu gets up to like 96 degrees

[04:45] <Sullane> Can anyone help me install windows onto my machine that only has linux? I boot from the dvd from the boot menu but it just heads into Ubuntu
[04:46] <resque> lasers: sorry the last few characters should read ":bin/bash" that wa sa typo
[04:46] <tucemiux> sere, ok nvidia is purged, how do I install the drivers again pls
[04:46] <voidray> tucemiux, apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:46] <sere> tucemiux: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current
[04:47] <tucemiux> voidray, thanks! nvidia driviers installed, let me reboot and see what happens
[04:47] <ChogyDan> Sullane: i think you just have to make sure the proper boot device is selected in the bios, then windows needs to take over.
[04:47] <sere> tucemiux: dpkg -l | grep nvidia : will tell you what driver version
[04:48] <ChogyDan> resque: did you have the -m switch in the adduser command, like: sudo useradd username -m -s /bin/bash
[04:48] <resque> ChogyDan: yes i did
[04:48] <resque> ChogyDan: but i created an account with adduser and useradd both of them cant log in
[04:48] <tucemiux> ok i installed the drivers but im still stuck on 640
[04:49] <resque> ChogyDan: home dirs where created both times, and i can see them inside of the passwd file as well
[04:49] <lasers> resque: ls -ld /home /home/*     -- How is it looking?
[04:50] <sere> tucemiux: lspci  -mm | grep VGA

[04:58] <tucemiux> param_, you might need an escape sequence, dont know if it's possible but I don't think that's an issue with ubuntu per se
[04:59] <resque> lasers: ok i changed the file permitions for the home folder and checked the passwd file, they are the same as yours now. i will startx again
[04:59] <dopie> how do i save in the nano editor?

[05:01] <sere> tucemiux: you can try a different driver from the repo or voidray solution which could work

[05:04] <ben_> hey, i have an intel centrino 1000 wifi card which works great but whenever i suspend then resume it sees the network but cant connect
[05:04] <resque> lasers: nice work mate, one issue solved. after i changed the /home dir permitions the error message "no home dir HOME=/" is not fixed.
[05:04] <sere> tucemiux: tucemiux yes and add the repo
[05:04] <ben_> ive tried all the solutions on the forums but none of them work
[05:04] <ben_> :/
[05:04] <resque> lasers: rebooting and going to try to log in.
[05:04] <lasers> resque: Okay!
[05:04] <resque> lasers: i am sure this will get rid of the .xauthority error as well

[05:07] <resque> lasers: so to recap, error was everytime i loged in GDM would open a blank screen then drop me back to the login window. The fix was my /home dir had incorrect permitions. changed them with chmod to match your /home dir file permitins everything is fixed. Thanks so much for the help guys.
[05:07] <resque> ChogyDan: ^^^^
[05:07] <sere> tucemiux: did you get sudo nvidia-xconfig to run?
[05:07] <lasers> resque: Because you rm -rf /home instead of /home/user! :P
[05:08] <ChogyDan> resque: cool
[05:08] <resque> lasers: ye must have dont, that was dumb :P
[05:08] <resque> done*
[05:08] <resque> ChogyDan: thank for the help as well mate :-D
[05:08] <Demosthenex> right, so apple announced their new macbook air today, what are the odds that ubuntu will work on it out of the box with the same workarounds used on the last one?
[05:11] <aeon-ltd> Demosthenex: noone will know anything til it's release
[05:12] <param_> Hey Greygan ,  it says now connecting to           }123@ipaddress  ........
[05:12] <Demosthenex> aeon-ltd: uh, they ship today
[05:13] <Demosthenex> my concern is that new haswell chipset, whether it needs kernel mods
[05:13] <Demosthenex> otherwise it sounds the same
[05:13] <param_> I am facing an issue in settings proxy settings on ubuntu terminal because of my password ... i have @ in my password     and command i am using for setting proxy is Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy_username:pass@123@proxy_ip:port   So there are 2 @ in the command , so its taking 123@proxy_ip
[05:15] <aeon-ltd> Demosthenex: and we the users are the only way anyone will know anything about it's linux support, until there are enough users of the new mba we won't know anything
[05:16] <Demosthenex> aeon-ltd: yeah, i know! i was hoping early adopters would come to irc ;]
[05:16] <Demosthenex> thus, i asked
[05:16] <Demosthenex> otherwise, it might be me
[05:17] <aeon-ltd> Demosthenex: early adopters withing 24hours, only apple fanboys would try to obtain it within a day and they will probably be using osx mainly
[05:18] <lasers> Demosthenex: You will spend $1000 for a 11" screen? :o
[05:19] <linu> Hi all, i am compiling buildroot toolchain in ubuntu 12,while compiling this toolchain i getting error mentioned in weblink http://pastebin.com/ViyGzhxb
[05:19] <aeon-ltd> mac hardware is worth some of the cost, but i wouldn't buy to use linux
[05:20] <Greygan_> aeon-ltd: I have to disagree (15yr hardware tech here) I dont think mac hardware is worth ANY of the extra cost... LOL
[05:20] <linu> please any one can help me how to rectify this error..
[05:21] <Demosthenex> lasers: i'll spend $2200 on the 13" with maxed specs and a 4 year warranty
[05:21] <Demosthenex> for biz
[05:22] <aeon-ltd> Greygan_: not specifically the cpu/gpu ram ssd, but the keyboard+trackpad+battery imo places it above most other brands
[05:22] <param_>  I am facing an issue in settings proxy settings on ubuntu terminal because of my password ... i have @ in my password     and command i am using for setting proxy is Acquire::http::proxy "http://proxy_username:pass@123@proxy_ip:port   So there are 2 @ in the command , so its taking 123@proxy_ip
[05:22] <goddard> my gpu gets so hot my system shuts down what can i do?
[05:22] <Demosthenex> goddard: more fans.
[05:22] <goddard> Demosthenex: its a laptop
[05:22] <abinash> Hey everyone, I am facing a strange problem here.  One of my currently running software is not working, so I am unable to install new ones.
[05:23] <Demosthenex> goddard: ugh.
[05:23] <Demosthenex> goddard: can you disable 3d?
[05:23] <abinash> When I try to do sudo apt-get install -f
[05:23] <goddard> Demosthenex: using xfce but id like to be able to play games
[05:23] <goddard> Demosthenex: its a gaming laptop
[05:23] <Demosthenex> goddard: check your vents? try a compressed air cleanout?
[05:23] <param_> Greygan, I tried  pass"@"123     {@}   and "pass@123"   none of tricks worked  for me ,
[05:23] <Greygan_> aeon-ltd: meh... maybe a little better on that front but not enough to justify their extreme price imho
[05:23] <goddard> Demosthenex: that might help but i think its pretty clean
[05:24] <Demosthenex> Greygan_: the price justifies the software and support stack, not just the hardware
[05:24] <abinash> the following error I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753844/
[05:24] <Demosthenex> goddard: what chip?
[05:24] <param_> is there any other way of updating my ubuntu
[05:24] <Demosthenex> param_: you have to authenticate
[05:24] <goddard> Demosthenex: nvidia 460m
[05:24] <Demosthenex> param_: you can always try the init=/bin/sh trick though ;]
[05:24] <Demosthenex> goddard: binary driver or nouveau?
[05:24] <goddard> Demosthenex: binary
[05:25] <Demosthenex> goddard: what can you tune in nvidia-settings?
[05:25] <Demosthenex> to control the heat
[05:25] <goddard> Demosthenex: nothing from what i can see
[05:25] <Demosthenex> really?
[05:25] <param_> what this init-/bin/sh
[05:25] <param_> let me try,
[05:25] <Demosthenex> param_: google it, it's a local hack to use physical access and grub to reset root password.
[05:25] <goddard> Demosthenex: nothing cooling related
[05:25] <thomad16> would it be crazy complicated to expand my windows partition and re-install ubuntu
[05:26] <Demosthenex> goddard: power usage, clock speed, high performance settings, all have to do with cooling
[05:26] <Demosthenex> thomad16: nuke it.
[05:26] <Demosthenex> thomad16: but i'm biased.
[05:26] <thomad16> I need windows for school
[05:26] <abinash> Demosthenex: Hey help me out on this one. One of my software is not working so I tried sudo apt-get install -f, but that also can't repair and I get the following error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5753844/
[05:26] <Demosthenex> thomad16: i need windows for work. i run window sin virtualbox on ubuntu.
[05:26] <param_> pass word is for internet only,
[05:26] <param_> and i cant change that
[05:27] <Demosthenex> param_: ah..... no idea then
[05:27] <thomad16> :P I also like to play games from time to time
[05:27] <param_> i have just to bypass @   and allow it to read as normal character
[05:27] <Demosthenex> abinash: do you have two updates running at once? are you really runnign with privs? try running it in a text only recovery boot (single user)
[05:28] <Demosthenex> abinash: if sound is in use... you may not be able to update, hence the single user mode
[05:28] <Demosthenex> abinash: actually, single user's always the cleanest way to boot
[05:29] <thomad16> can I set up window to read ext4 filesystems or will I need to re-format to ntfs?
[05:29] <Demosthenex> bah, s/boot/upgrade/
[05:29] <Demosthenex> thomad16: i share data to a windows VM using samba fileshares
[05:29] <abinash> Demosthenex:  no I am not running two updates and running them with privs.
[05:29] <Demosthenex> thomad16: that way the windows vm can access my files on linux
[05:29] <Demosthenex> abinash: sounds like an app conflict. shutting down apps would help.
[05:29] <Wdae> Well that isn't really safe if windows can acces your files :P
[05:30] <abinash> Demosthenex: could you explain me how to repair it in single user recovery boot
[05:30] <Demosthenex> Wdae: excellent observation. so you make a specific directory to share, not share-all
[05:30] <abinash> and please help me shutting down the sound app also :)
[05:30] <Demosthenex> abinash: it's not recover. just boot into single user mode and retry the update command
[05:30] <Demosthenex> abinash: shutting it down, it's likely easier to reboot into single user so it never starts
[05:31] <Demosthenex> gah, i came in here to talk about a macbook, and suddenly i took over the channel :P
[05:31] <voidray> thomad16, you can install ubuntu along windows 7 with wubi.
[05:31] <voidray> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/windows-installer more info
[05:32] <Greygan_> param_ got it!   use %40 in place of the @ symbol in your password
[05:33] <param_> pass%40123
[05:33] <Greygan_> param_: yes
[05:34] <marko-_-> what would be the easiest way to create a bootable windows 7 usb on ubuntu?
[05:34] <param_> ok trying
[05:34] <sere> marko : i like multisystem
[05:34] <voidray> http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-windows more info
[05:34] <voidray> sorry
[05:35] <marko-_-> sere, what?
[05:35] <marko-_-> voidray, on ubuntu, not on windows
[05:35] <sere> marko-_-: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-create-multiboot-liveusb-using.html
[05:35] <voidray> my bad
[05:35] <thomad16> Hay I'm getting this error when running cfdisk:    FATAL ERROR: Bad logical partition 6: enlarged logical partitions overlap
[05:36] <marko-_-> 2010 - you would think ubuntu had an app for it now
[05:36] <marko-_-> dissapointing
[05:36] <marko-_-> but yeah, i'll follow the tutorial even though i already did one
[05:36] <marko-_-> without success
[05:36] <sere> marko-_-: it does http://www.webupd8.org/2010/03/how-to-create-multiboot-liveusb-using.html
[05:36] <sere> marko-_-: you tried it already?
[05:37] <marko-_-> sere, not this one, something else with unetbootin
[05:37] <marko-_-> i'll give this a triy
[05:37] <wilee-nilee> marko-_-, Actually you can mount the ISO and extract it to a usb ntfs formatted with a boot flag.
[05:37] <marko-_-> wilee-nilee, i have an USB 3.0 formatted as ntfs through gparted
[05:37] <sere> marko-_-: this one is by far the best i found
[05:37] <marko-_-> and i wanted to do it with unetbootin and i can't
[05:37] <marko-_-> should i just extract the .iso on the usb wilee-nilee ?
[05:38] <param_> Thanks Greygan
[05:38] <param_> i was stuck on this for last 2 days
[05:38] <param_> thanks :D
[05:38] <wilee-nilee> marko-_- yes mount it with a right click and archive manager and extract from it.
[05:38] <Greygan_> it is the ASCII code for the @ symbol :)
[05:38] <Slash_Fury> Hey guys, I'm having some trouble trying to install Ubuntu 13.04 to an SSD on my laptop. During the install wizard, when it gets to partitioning, if I hit the "+" option, I get an internal error popup
[05:39] <Greygan_> sere: YAY! I actually fixed something... LOL I feel better now :)
[05:39] <wilee-nilee> marko-_-, The partition needs a boot flag this can be set with a right click in gparted on the usb
[05:39] <param_> You rock buddy :D
[05:40] <param_> ok thanks for sharing knowledge
[05:40] <marko-_-> wilee-nilee, it has a boot flag
[05:40] <marko-_-> will see if it works now
[05:42] <sere> Greygan_: WOOHOO! thats what its all about.. helping others and we grow together
[05:43] <Wdae> :P
[05:44] <Greygan_> sere: Well thanks again for the help with the video issue. Think I am gonna call it a night.
[05:44] <sere> Greygan_: anytime buddy.. have a good night
[05:46] <Slash_Fury> Does anyone have advice for me? If I run gparted, I can format the SSD to ext4, as well as mount it, but I'm not really sure how I can go ahead and get Ubuntu actually installed to it
[05:46] <abinash> Need help in enabling network in recovery mode
[05:48] <sere> Slash_Fury: you need to mark the ext4 partion as / and then add a swap which should be double the amount of your ram
[05:49] <wilee-nilee> swap only needs to be slightly more than ram
[05:50] <sere> wilee-nilee: from what i read i thought it was double?
[05:50] <clcto> you dont even need swap if you have a decent amount of ram. but if you want to hibernate (suspend to disk) you need at least the amount of ram you have
[05:50] <clcto> sere: that is out dated
[05:50] <wilee-nilee> sere, used to, I guess, but not needed.
[05:51] <sere> wilee-nilee:  oh ok...i am kinda stuck doing things the old way :x
[05:52] <sere> wilee-nilee: thats 3 gigs i wasted on nothing :x
[05:52] <Wdae> @Sere, wait for next release :]
[05:52] <wilee-nilee> sere, you can delete it and make one the size you want exspand the other partition to it.
[05:52] <Wdae> yes, from a live cd
[05:53] <Slash_Fury> sere: What do I actually need to copy over to the SSD for Ubuntu? I'm guessing I don't want to just do a cp -r * of my live usb drive :P
[05:53] <clcto> Slash_Fury: you have to install it
[05:54] <Wdae> Yes, just install it normally.
[05:54] <Wdae> Like you would with a normal hdd.
[05:55] <sere> wilee-nilee: i will probably end doing that then.. thanks :)
[05:55] <Slash_Fury> That's the problem. If I try using the standard install wizard, when I get to the "Installation Type" part, I can't continue. If I simply hit "Install now", I get an error saying "No root file system is defined." If I mess around with any of the partitioning options, such as the "+" or "-", it crashes.
[05:55] <Wdae> Set "/" on your ext4 partition
[05:55] <Slash_Fury> And I see nothing listed in that particular window for my SSD.
[05:56] <Wdae> :o
[05:56] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: I know this may sound noobish, but how can I go about doing that? :P
[05:56] <tattooed> hey everyone
[05:56] <Wdae> Err it crashes...
[05:56] <dopie> hello
[05:56] <param_> E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or directory )    When I run sudo apt-get update ... I removed this directory earlier, how can i fix this
[05:56] <tattooed> how is everyone
[05:56] <cfhowlett> dopie, greetigns
[05:57] <dopie> im using this xclip -sel clip < ~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub
[05:57] <dopie> and getting
[05:57] <samgabbay> ello people :)
[05:57] <dopie> Error: Can't open display: (null)
[05:57] <dopie> what is going on?!
[05:57] <tattooed> how goes it dopie
[05:57] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: for example, if I click on "+" which would presumably create a new partition, I get a "Sorry, Ubuntu has experienced an internal error." popup.
[05:57] <Slash_Fury> Then the installer exits.
[05:58] <dopie> hey hey hey :)
[05:58] <sere> Slash_Fury: you need to label that prtition as "/"
[05:58] <dopie> just finally setting up ruby on rails with passenger
[05:58] <Slash_Fury> sere: The partition does have a label of "/"
[05:58] <Slash_Fury> What would be my next step?
[05:59] <Wdae> Boot on the live cd and open gparted.
[05:59] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: Already there. I have my two partitions on sda, sda1 (ext4, "/") and sda2 (swap).
[06:00] <clcto> you dont need to label it, that isnt the issue. just wipe the whole drive with no partitions on it and then run the installer
[06:00] <clcto> the installer will let you partition. idk why that is messed up though
[06:01] <Wdae> You want to install ubuntu on sdaX?
[06:01] <dopie> how do i copy my id_rsa.pub key
[06:01] <dopie> without using xclip
[06:01] <Slash_Fury> clcto: Even if the disk is completely unallocated, I have the same issues as before.
[06:01] <SwedeMike> dopie: copy it where?
[06:01] <dopie> umm sorry
[06:01] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: Yes, I'd want it installed on sda1, my ext4 partition I had created.
[06:01] <dopie> just print it on the scren
[06:02] <Wdae> You could wipe the full drive with shred.
[06:02] <clcto> Slash_Fury: hmm idk sry
[06:02] <dopie> screen
[06:02] <Wdae> Then create a new partition table.
[06:02] <SwedeMike> dopie: "cat" prints files to screen.
[06:02] <clcto> cat ~/.ssh/... key
[06:03] <Tickle> I have a raspberry pi running an Apache server, and I have an Ubuntu machine holding files on the same local network as the raspberry pi. Is it possible to link to files on the Ubuntu machine in html documents held on the Raspberry Pi?
[06:03] <Wdae> Anyway...
[06:03] <samgabbay> poop
[06:04] <clcto> Tickle: set up a nfs share
[06:04] <Tickle> Thank you!
[06:04] <Slash_Fury> Wdae: Theeere we go, that's the missing step. Alright :)
[06:05] <param_> E: Could not open file /var/lib/dpkg/status - open (2: No such file or directory )    When I run sudo apt-get update ... I removed this directory earlier, how can i fix this
[06:05] <dopie> SwedeMike, thank ye
[06:06] <goddard> i think i might convert my laptop to a desktop
[06:06] <goddard> or at least a different "case"
[06:07] <goddard> is that crazy talk?
[06:07] <Slash_Fury> So yeah, it seems my trouble was that I didn't realize I had to create a new partition table, instead of simply deleting the partitions. Thank you very much :)
[06:07] <Slash_Fury> Still curious why the installer kept crashing, though
[06:08] <Wdae> I fixed something! :D
[06:08] <Wdae> :)
[06:08] <clcto> Slash_Fury: maybe the disk was gpt or mbr and it was expecting the other
[06:08] <Wdae> Yep
[06:08] <Wdae> Slash_Fury: Drive size?
[06:08] <Slash_Fury> Just a 32GB, but considering I got it for $5, I'm not going to complain :)
[06:09] <Slash_Fury> Threw it in my T61
[06:09] <Wdae> Well it's mbr... not Gpt
[06:09] <Wdae> Maybe your mbr was somehow corrupted...
[06:12] <bullicon> I am having  Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com'
[06:14] <clcto> Wdae: how do you know what type of partition table it had?
[06:15] <Wdae> Well maybe not... Just a guess...

[07:03] <devslash_> i don't need that site
[07:03] <devslash_> i just want to know if bootcamp supports creating multiple partitions
[07:03] <Campfire> what is the copy command for xchat
[07:03] <devslash_> IE more than 2 partitions

[07:07] <Campfire> c
[07:07] <cfhowlett> tripelb, you have the ISO?  startup disk creator in ubuntu will make USB or cD
[07:07] <Jordan_U> devslash_: You should *not* use Apple's bootcamp utilty. It will create an ugly "hybrid MBR" which is only needed for Windows on intel macs.
[07:07] <devslash_> then how do i create the partition ?
[07:08] <adi__> any way to extract certain file from tar.lzo (knowing its path inside)?
[07:08] <devslash_> i thought that normally you create 2 partitions. 1 for mac and 1 for windows. then you boot the ubuntu cd and partition the windows cd as a linux partition
[07:08] <Jordan_U> devslash_: The Ubuntu installer will resize your OSX install and create partitions for Ubuntu automatically (or you can do it manually, but there's not much reason to).
[07:09] <devslash_> hmm
[07:09] <Jordan_U> devslash_: No. I highly recommend against that as it will create a "hybrid MBR" and hybrid MBRs are ugly and cause problems.
[07:09] <devslash_> ok
[07:09] <tripelb> nono cfhowlett i do not. ('loan'ed both of them. gave away the old mac that had the. iso)
[07:10] <cfhowlett> tripelb, torrent down the iso first.  md5sum check for integrity then make your bootable media.  unetbootin works on windows as well
[07:10] <Jordan_U> tripelb: There is no direct easy way, no. What do you need the LiveCD for?
[07:12] <tripelb> _ i need to read my nexus 7 but no internet connection here. what do i need to d/l so i can read it?

[07:33] <wloczykij> Hi everybody!
[07:34] <cfhowlett> tripelb, +1 for airdroid ... makes it quite easy to transfer files/apk's etc.
[07:34] <cfhowlett> wloczykij, greetings
[07:38] <Kartagis> can rsync work both ways?
[07:39] <wloczykij> I have one question: I can't find alternate image for basic edition of ubuntu 12.10. I found such image only for lubuntu or for older version of ubuntu. Anybody knows why Canonical removes it from official download sites?
[07:40] <cfhowlett> !alternate|wloczykij,

[07:42] <wloczykij> ubottu> thank you for answer. I was looking for it because I would like to install ubuntu on encrypted partition - manuals refers to alternate image
[07:43] <wloczykij> clcto> there is no alternate images on site you mentioned
[07:44] <wilee-nilee> wloczykij, A live cd will encrypt or use the mini.
[07:44] <wloczykij> wilee-nilee> I see, thank you for hint
[07:45] <clcto> wloczykij: yes i know as you can see by my next post "oh, he wants the text install"

[08:01] <shadowmancer> hmmmm so is there a common reason as such to the kernel panic, unable to locate init, as far as I can tell my image should be fine, my mount point seems sound, it is giving me something about a loop modprobe but i don't think that is directly connected to it

[08:09] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: It might help if you explained more what you are doing. I honestly thought I had missed earlier messages when I first saw your question since it wasn't clear on its own.
[08:10] <shadowmancer> I have just installed Ubuntu 13.04 from a live USB, did check of live usb which showed as aOK, then after install, ubuntu refuses to load saying that Kernel Panic, and unable to locate the init file, so what I have done is I have checked the fstab via the liveusb of the hdd, which seems to see the hd0 and the mount point, reinstalled 5 times with various configurations, found no matter how many times I try to run ubuntu that dm
[08:10] <shadowmancer> anything in /var/log/dmesg
[08:10] <shadowmancer> have googled it for 3 days, and find am using a 32 bit distro
[08:10] <shadowmancer> have attempted to run debug in grub, and played with grub for a bit though not to much avail
[08:11] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: Your message was cut off at "found no matter how many times I try to run ubuntu that dm".
[08:11] <shadowmancer> dmesg doesn't appear to have anything in it
[08:11] <clcto> shadowmancer: add an init= parameter to the kernel line in grub, dont know what it should be though
[08:12] <shadowmancer> clcto: I've tried messing with it, but doesn't matter what init file I point it to (I assumed it meant the initrd) it seems to not care
[08:12] <clcto> shadowmancer: no
[08:13] <Jordan_U> shadowmancer: It does not mean initrd, it means the init, PID 1, the first process started at boot.
[08:13] <clcto> after the kernel there are a bunch of parameters separated by spaces, add init=<something>
[08:13] <clcto> idk what it is supposed to be though. see if you can get into bash so init=/bin/bash
[08:14] <vamshi> when i entered sudo command terminal is exiting. How to fix this issue?
[08:14] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, have you tried advanced boot options on the installation? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions
[08:17] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  I have tried the advanced boot, though found all it does is give me a choice of the kernel to load, and both run into the same issue
[08:18] <shadowmancer> clcto: I'll give the bash thing a go and if it still freezes will have to go from there
[08:19] <shadowmancer> clcto: and be back
[08:24] <vagrant_> sc2?
[08:25] <Kartagis> k1l: I don't think unison does what I need to do. I'm more looking for a way to use rsync to retrieve files

[08:53] <Yamakasi> ikonia: ok
[08:53] <shadowmancer_> ActionParsnip: No, its actually showing up as a broken link
[08:53] <shadowmancer_> and with my original quesiton I should have clarified, what i meant was that the Kernel Panic error suggests enabling the init= option, though when that option is omitted what result is used
[08:57] <shadowmancer_> hrmmm I am thinking it maybe more with the bootloader then with the actual ubuntu image
[08:57] <in0cula> is there a simple and concise guide to understand ubuntu internals?
[08:57] <DJones> in0cula: A basic Ubuntu manual?
[08:57] <DJones> !manual
[08:58] <in0cula> I mean advanced, to understad how ubuntu works
[08:58] <jatt> advanced is the system itself
[08:58] <shadowmancer_> in0cula: any examples of advanced, do you mean how the kernel works, how the window manager works, how does unity work .etc
[08:58] <jatt> hands on work on it
[08:59] <jatt> there is also The Official Ubuntu Book it's a little bit advanced
[09:00] <in0cula> shadowmancer_, yes all this stuff, where for example unity is located and the folders and config files
[09:00] <DJones> in0cula: As jatt said, the best way is just to use it, break it, and then work out how to fix it using the various websites giving advice (askubuntu, ubuntuforums etc)
[09:00] <in0cula> DJones, ok that a way
[09:01] <in0cula> I hope to find a schema
[09:01] <in0cula> a blueprint
[09:01] <shadowmancer_> in0cula: if you want to know how every single nut and bolt of ubuntu works, from how it turns 0101 into a flashing light on your screen, a schema as in a pretty picture of the entirety won't exist
[09:01] <shadowmancer_> in0cula: or if it did it would be a very very very big picture
[09:02] <xrc> can I get someone to help me with installing some packages? I try to do an sudo apt-get install
[09:02] <in0cula> ok, thanx for your answer
[09:02] <xrc> but it says a package that it depends is not going to be installed
[09:05] <DJones> xrc: You probably need to give more details such as what you're trying to install, what version of Ubuntu and whether its from the official repo's or a ppa
[09:06] <shadowmancer_> anyways I'll keep poking if i figure anything out i'll see if i can leave a note somewhere
[09:06] <xrc> Ubuntu 13.04, I am trying to get the mir server up, installing from its ppa.
[09:07] <xrc> DJones, I am stuck on trying to install unity-system-compositor (
[09:08] <DJones> xrc: I've not played with it, with it being from the ppa and being part of the default repo's I think you'll probably get more help if you join #ubuntu-mir which looks to be the support channel for Mir while its in development, its probably a quiet channel so you may need to be patient for a reply though
[09:09] <DJones> whoops, that should say, not being part of the default repo's
[09:10] <xrc> DJones, thank you. I was not getting any replies from them so I decided to ask here. Also the thing that bothers me was that I was able to install it via command-line
[09:11] <xrc> DJones, only to find after a sudo apt-get upgrade that it fetched some new versions of the server thus killing the previous upgrade
[09:11] <xrc> DJones, for a second I thought it's a more generic question with packaging issues here ^^
[09:12] <xrc> DJones, thanks anyway, I'll get it on their channel and wait for replies there
[09:12] <DJones> xrc: I guess it could be a number of things, without knowing anything about it, the Mir channel is probably the safest bet, or if there is a contact email on the ppa, that could be worth a shot
[09:13] <leehambley> I'm pretty sure I know the answer ("you're doing it wrong") but what's the best way to install a package without the init.d/upstart stuff?
[09:14] <leehambley> I'm unpacking it with dpkg, deleting everything that relates to init.d and repackaging (under a new name and vendor release number)
[09:14] <leehambley> but it's a pain
[09:14] <llutz> leehambley: why don't you just install it "the right way" and disable autostart then?
[09:15] <leehambley> because I'm using (forced to use) a toolkit (babushka) which installs them "depdnedency driven", naturally they're started by the scripts on install
[09:15] <leehambley> so I need the "start on installation" not to happen
[09:15] <leehambley> … I don't care about na init script, really, but finding a portable way to stop anything that was just installed (But only if it was just installed) is a pain
[09:16] <llutz> leehambley: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=856815
[09:16] <llutz> leehambley: last post ^
[09:17] <rose7676> help !
[09:17] <rose7676> Another process esets_gui already runningrose@rose-desktop:/opt/eset/esets/bin$
[09:17] <leehambley> llutz the policy.rc seems like a reasonable solution
[09:18] <leehambley> cheers *thumbsup*
[09:18] <llutz> leehambley: easier and "cleaner" than repacking deb before installation
[09:18] <leehambley> llutz: definitely, it's a shame that people don't package things as the binaries/configs and the init scripts separately
[09:19] <leehambley> bundling everything might have made sense 5 years aog, but now that there's 4/5 competing init.d alternatives, it's just a pain :(

[09:20] <BarneyS> when i run a shell script from the same directory by this command sh runfile.sh it runs file
[09:20] <BarneyS> and when i run it from other directory sh scripts/runfile.sh it doesn't run
[09:21] <BarneyS> can anyone help me with that?
[09:21] <llutz> BarneyS: runfile.sh expects "file" to be in $PWD?
[09:22] <BarneyS> so that means i cannot run a file from different directory?
[09:22] <llutz> BarneyS: change runfile.sh to use absolute path for "file"
[09:22] <BarneyS> i mean i cannot run shell script from any other directory!!
[09:22] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: if you use TAB to complete the folder names and file names, does it help?
[09:23] <BarneyS> how?
[09:23] <BarneyS> not it doesn't
[09:23] <rose7676> nod32 ubuntu 13.04 HELP
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: is the file marked as executable? You do know the '.sh' extension isn't needed, this isn't Windows :)
[09:23] <BarneyS> well it completes the line, but it doesn't run
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> rose7676: details please
[09:23] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: is the file marked as executable?
[09:24] <BarneyS> yes it is
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: what is the output of:  file ./scripts/runfile.sh
[09:24] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: ('file' is a command)
[09:25] <BarneyS> ASCII text
[09:25] <BarneyS> is the output
[09:25] <rose7676> ActionParsnipinstall, install ??
[09:25] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: did you put the line:    #!/bin/bash   as the top line in the file?
[09:25] <BarneyS> no
[09:25] <BarneyS> should i??
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: I suggest you do. Yes :)
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> rose7676: can you give full details. I didn't understand your last reply
[09:26] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: you can then run:  chmod +x  ./scripts/runfile.sh;  ./scripts/runfile.sh
[09:29] <BarneyS> ActionParsnip: thanks :-) can you tell me why is it necessary to add #!/bin/bash
[09:32] <Antar> d
[09:32] <Antar> Hello
[09:32] <varunendra_> BarneyS, that tells the command interpreter which shell to execute the script with
[09:32] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: it makes it a script, it tells the interpretter to use bash to read the rest as Bash code rather than ASCII text
[09:32] <Antar> is there an iso of ubuntu terminal
[09:33] <BarneyS> ohk got it :-)
[09:33] <mogaj>  Hi, i installed ubuntu 12.04 on Dell vostro 3500. i am not able to use trackpad right and left clicks ... how can i fix this?
[09:33] <Antar> jsut the terminal no Gnome no Kde
[09:33] <oldherl> hey, Apple announced mac os 10.9 will be Maverick?!
[09:33] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: you can use any shell you want, you can even use #!/bin/python   or whatever it is and then code in python
[09:33] <oldherl> to follow ubuntu 10.10?
[09:33] <DJones> Antar: There is the server iso, or the minimal iso that lets you select what you install by downloading from the internet
[09:34] <rollinga> Hello there. I'm having some trouble updating from lucid to precise. Exactly this: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/update-manager/+bug/943638
[09:34] <DJones> !minimal | Antar
[09:34] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: adding '.sh' does nothing at all, its teh content of the file which is looked at, all you had was a file full of text. If you add the top line then the OS will see a script
[09:34] <Antar> Grear thx
[09:34] <DJones> !text | Antar Another option is to use the desktop cd, but use this boot parameter to get a text mode,
[09:34] <varunendra_> BarneyS, so did you succeed to run the script? You can (actually should) use it as bash <path to script) instead of sh. Also, make sure there are no blank spaces in the path or filename.
[09:35] <Antar> DJones
[09:35] <Antar> how can i do
[09:35] <BarneyS> varunendra_: yes i did. .
[09:36] <Antar> ah ok
[09:36] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: its dead flexible like that :)
[09:36] <BarneyS> ActionParsnip: :-)
[09:37] <mogaj>  Hi, i installed ubuntu 12.04 on Dell vostro 3500. i am not able to use trackpad right and left clicks ... how can i fix this?
[09:37] <ActionParsnip> BarneyS: you can aso use different interpretters if you want, you can use csh or zsh if you want :)
[09:38] <BarneyS> ActionParsnip: i tried using bash, as sugested by varunendra_ it works. .

[09:48] <krypto> any one installed ubuntu as para virtual guest on xen?
[09:48] <paddy> where in ubuntu is the data stored regarding package list, etc. please?
[09:48] <jrib> paddy: why?
[09:49] <paddy> jrib, cause i wanna make a list of some sort
[09:49] <rose7676> now  install nod32  no run
[09:49] <jrib> can you be more specific?
[09:50] <jrib> paddy: can you be more specific about what it is exactly that you want to accomplish?
[09:50] <histo> paddy: You can use dpkg  with get-selections option
[09:50] <DJones> !cloning | paddy If you just need a list of the packages installed, Ubottu's info should help you extract the information
[09:50] <rose7676> ActionParsnipinstall,  no run now fix?
[09:52] <data> hi, i have a problem with, I think, custom mouse pointers in certain applications
[09:52] <paddy> no, no, hold on
[09:52] <data> i.e. they do not appear, e.g., in spotify, skype et.
[09:52] <paddy> i need to access the core file that contains the description, file size and all that
[09:53] <jrib> paddy: you should explain what you actually want to accomplish: /why/ do you need this access
[09:53] <paddy> why would i need to explain that?
[09:53] <jrtappers> Does flash on firefox use screen size to chose how to scale videos? I keep getting letterboxed videos
[09:53] <paddy> are you the guard of the information that is provided in that file?
[09:53] <jrib> paddy: one, your request is odd.  Two, it's still not clear exactly what you are looking for.
[09:54] <llutz>    paddy  /var/lib/dpkg/available
[09:54] <paddy> doh, in "/lib" it is hidden, thanks llutz
[09:54] <jrtappers> paddy, There may be better ways to achieve what you want to do, and if we find them everyone benefits
[09:55] <jrtappers> I think the flash problem is because I have two screens, and it seems to be using my desktop area to work out scaling on one, so it letterboxes
[10:01] <shadowmancer> Hey all ... I think I might have figured out what was the issue, I realized I was using the wrong build >.< I was using a 32bit build for a 64bit system, meaning the init file in /sbin/ couldn't be run
[10:03] <data> hi, i have a problem with, I think, custom mouse pointers in certain applications. i.e. they do not appear, e.g., in spotify, skype, java applications and others. is there a way to disable them? I have changed cursor themes and am at a loss
[10:03] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, do you mean your hardware is 64 bit capable and you were trying 32 bit ubuntu?
[10:04] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  didn't think about it until I read another error the log was spitting out and checked into that and was like ... really ... because I realized all the info on my build was for 32 bit
[10:05] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, that should never be a problem. It is an issue only when the condition is opposite (i.e. trying to run 64 bit on a 32 bit system)
[10:05] <cburke> test
[10:06] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  :/ hmmm still willing to give it a shot since i'm out of ideas :P I am out of ideas and might as well run a 64bit os on a 64 bit processor
[10:07] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, did you try the recovery menu options in the advanced grub menu? Especially - failsafeX (safe graphics mode)
[10:07] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  yep, still gave me the Kernal Panic issue
[10:08] <shadowmancer> Kernel *
[10:08] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, have you run memtest to test your RAM?
[10:09] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  would that effect the locating of the init option, because I am noting that the live usb is running which I would think would mean that the RAM would be fine
[10:11] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, not necessarily. A memory leak can cause weird behaviour at different instances of OS loading or its working.
[10:11] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, take a look at common kernel boot options : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Common_Kernel_Options You can add them to kernel boot line by pressing "e" at grub menu.
[10:13] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  hmmm thanks for the link, i'll see what I can do and see if it works, still going to wait for the 64bit build though
[10:14] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, do you have any thread on ubuntuforums regarding this issue?
[10:14] <shadowmancer> varunendra_:  Not really, I found 101 different threads with similar though no specific answers
[10:16] <varunendra_> shadowmancer, that's only because there is really no specific reason for the error you are getting. Most often it is a buggy driver - most often the graphics one. But it can be anything from a corrupt image to a misconfigured BIOS or even partitioning.
[10:34] <marianne_> 'morning guys. Is it possible for this app to come across the ISP as being a bot?
[10:34] <michael87> Anyone need any help activating transparency in ubuntu 13.04. I am loving that i figured this out XD
[10:35] <uovobw> hi *. i am googling for an answer but i keep finding input-related answers. which packages do i need to install to get support for chinese/korean/japanese characthers and charsets in a Qt application that runs on an ubuntu 12.04 ? tia for the time
[10:36] <bekks> marianne_: For which app? What do you mean?
[10:37] <bekks> michael87: Its in the settings :)
[10:37] <michael87> bekks, erm what settings? I had to use dconf
[10:37] <marianne_> bekks: smuxi irc client
[10:38] <bekks> marianne_: And what do you mean by your question?
[10:39] <bekks> michael87: dconf edits settings, too :)
[10:40] <marianne_> bekks: I got an email from my ISP saying there is a bot on my system... I ran all the usual checks and came back clean on all platforms (running windows, OSx and ubuntu on my LAN)
[10:40] <michael87> omg this is awsome. I was worried ubuntu would shut off transparent windows after ubuntu 12.10. but its back and I am loving it. Life will be awsome without windows XD. 8 is flat and dead to me and I have a gut feeling they are going to fxxk up windows 7
[10:40] <marianne_> I'm thinking that the 'bot' identified is actually the way this program works and the fact the ISP is just lamesauce
[10:40] <lasers> marianne_: Can't you ask your ISP for more information than a bot?
[10:40] <michael87> plus I don't think I can live without hot corners now lmao
[10:41] <marianne_> lasers: I'm going to, but just got the email late last night
[10:41] <bekks> marianne_: So "way" an IRC application works isnt identified as being a bot. Its just an IRC application. Did you got further information about that "bot"?
[10:41] <bekks> s/So/The/
[10:42] <michael87> does having transparency on effect battery life in ubuntu?
[10:42] <prooty1> hello. i have an application that when run from .config/autostart takes a long time to quit during shutdown.
[10:42] <bekks> michael87: Every eyecandy does.
[10:42] <marianne_> bekks: going to talk to the ISP today and see what they are showing from their side. IT could be that this is just a scam to get me to buy into their 'protection package'
[10:42] <JewInSheepsCloth> Wireshark ! anyone know about the wireshark and the snmp-mibs-installer error "E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?"
[10:43] <JewInSheepsCloth> i ran apt-get for snmp-mibs-installer
[10:43] <JewInSheepsCloth> and got these two errors
[10:43] <michael87> bekks :(. even with tlps? the battery saving program for linux?
[10:43] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: Thats just an error that somearchives arent available on the repo servers currently. Its not a wireshark issue.
[10:44] <prooty1> but when it is run from a terminal it exits quickly. does anyone have an idea what the difference could be?
[10:44] <bekks> michael87: Even with whatever - eyecandy and bling bling affect battery lifetime.
[10:44] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: so do i wait and run the apt-get update later?
[10:44] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: it said something wicked happened
[10:45] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: Either wait or just use other download servers.
[10:45] <michael87> bekks, meh. I'll have to accept that then. and from personal experience unity takes up less on battery then kde. and the new window snap on 13.04 is fantastic XD
[10:45] <JewInSheepsCloth> what is this "Something wicked happened resolving 'th.archive.ubuntu.com:http' (-11 - System error)"
[10:45] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: A DNS problem.
[10:45] <JewInSheepsCloth> is that my thailand server
[10:46] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: Most likely it is a problem on your client side, not on the server side.
[10:46] <JewInSheepsCloth> what does client side mean ? i am doing something wrong ?
[10:46] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: client is "your computer".
[10:46] <JewInSheepsCloth> oh lord
[10:47] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: We dont know what you are doing, so we dont know wether you are doing something wrong.
[10:47] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: so how do i run it again or whatever
[10:47] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: just keep trying ?
[10:47] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: Just check your DNS settings.
[10:47] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: where do i do that ? is it my gufw running ?
[10:47] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: gufw has nothing to do with your dns settings.
[10:48] <bekks> !dns | JewInSheepsCloth
[10:48] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: how do i check my DNS settings
[10:48] <nibbler> JewInSheepsCloth: cat /etc/resolv.conf
[10:48] <bekks> JewInSheepsCloth: You dont need to setup a dns server, but just check your current settings.
[10:48] <JewInSheepsCloth> bekks: how to check them /
[10:51] <kit-kat> hi anybody can you please tell me how to add encoding support? any document or examples ...
[10:52] <JewInSheepsCloth> ok i checked my dns seettings i guess

[10:52] <michael87> god ubuntu 13.04 is so feature riched. I am just going to have to dualboot with windows 7 becuase at this point all its good for is games lol. if I had a much sicker graphics card most of my games would probably run fine with wine though. still haven't decided if wine is a good replacement for windows yet. don't think so save ripping dvds with magic dvd decryptor
[10:55] <lasers> michael87: Get PS4 and you're set. No more dual boot. :)
[10:59] <michael87> lasers, lol thats one way to do it. but frankly I am not happy with sony making the ps4 not backwards compatible. its the ps2 to ps3 all over again. No If I am to enjoy my older games on a newwer system I am going with pc gaming. I have both 360 and ps3 and love them both. I am very very displeased with the no backwards thing especially since I freaken love skyrim and want to sup up the graphics XD
[10:59] <k-joseph> hi to everybody, am inquiring to know, i have an hp g7 pc that i am currently duo booting windows 7 and ubuntu 12.04 LTS, but when ever am in ubuntu, my left speaker does not work, what could be the reason, thanks
[10:59] <bekks> !ot | michael87
[11:00] <michael87> k-joseph, frankly you should try 13.04 its miles ahead of 12.04 despite it not being a long term. freaken rocks
[11:01] <k-joseph> micheal87: is'nt there any other solution to that besides changing to 13.04?
[11:01] <lasers> michael87: I disagree. I'm sure he chose LTS for a reason (and upgrading is not always a solution; See XboxOne ; Lulz).
[11:02] <lasers> k-joseph: Alsa or Pulse?
[11:03] <k-joseph> lasers: surely, and am currently running so many things with ubuntu and would not like to inconvenience my self
[11:03] <michael87> lasers, very funny you are. and I agree with you on that. But the features and speed of 13.04 has me inthralled and done with 12.04 lol. respect though for stayying with lts. waiting for the next lts myself but I'm going to just jump every 9 months. and if they ever mess up I'll go for lts. it is free after all. Much ubuntu and linux love XD
[11:04] <lasers> !alsa | k-joseph
[11:04] <lasers> k-joseph: Try running "alsamixer" -- You might find something. If not, speakers aren't old or broken, right? :)
[11:05] <basss> hello, when i use ssh i keep getting the ^[[A character whenever i press the up arrow. Any idea what is causing this ?
[11:05] <bekks> michael87: Basically, the decision for using LTS or for using the latest version is based on requirements and needs, not on believing the latest version is the "best".
[11:05] <mar77i> hello #ubuntu. this has been going on my nerves for years, not sure if you can help me. I have a dualscreen setup with both 60hz
[11:05] <kit-kat> hi i have list of character encodings, how can i add a new character encoding support,what is that command to add new encoding support
[11:05] <kanupatar> Hi all,
[11:05] <kanupatar> is there any part time embedded oppertunities anywhere? My university stopped internal part times inside Uni and I am trying to get some for my fee and book for my research
[11:06] <ubukou> hey folks.im having a problem with a sony vaio. the laptop im talking about had windows preinstalled and gave me blue screens all the time. i recovered it using the image sony had installed in it and it did the same. after that i decided to install ubuntu and ubuntu gave me black screens.
[11:06] <mar77i> well, not exactly 60hz, the one on the left is set to 59.9 and every now and then it just drops a frame
[11:06] <jrib> !ot | kanupatar
[11:06] <bekks> !nomodeset | ubukou
[11:06] <ubukou> i contacted sony and sony told me that it void the warranty to install linux
[11:06] <lasers> basss: What terminal and did you modify ~/.bashrc or something like that? (like PS1 for instance)
[11:07] <ubukou> any ideas?
[11:07] <ubukou> isnt that ILLEGAL!?!
[11:07] <bekks> ubukou: ubottu just gave you some clues.
[11:07] <michael87> bekks, understandable. but again in my personal opinion, speed compatibility and so forth, raring is fantastic. and I recommend it to anybody. but yes I tell anyone not running linux jumping ship about hte 9 months support and lts has longterm till I think 2015.
[11:07] <jrib> ubukou: so install windows again and deal with sony
[11:07] <bekks> michael87: Wrong. 12.04 LTS is supported until 2017.
[11:07] <ubukou> jrib, they want me to give 80 euros and buy the recovery disks.
[11:07] <basss> lasers: im using the nonrmal shell and i did not modify .bashrc
[11:08] <jrib> ubukou: use the image you used before
[11:08] <ubukou> jrib, how does that sound. god i have sony. last time i deal with them. its my gf laptop
[11:08] <ubukou> jrib, i installed linux to see what happens. formated the disk :S
[11:08] <michael87> bekks, oh. ok fine 2017. anyway I tell them 5 years long term support. but I am not the only one that is enjoyying 13.04 when compared to 12.04 in my town now :)
[11:08] <ubukou> jrib, they dont give you disks the have a partition that contains the image
[11:08] <jrib> ubukou: what exactly happens on ubuntu now?
[11:09] <kousthub> hey moto...
[11:09] <kousthub> sorry guys...
[11:09] <bekks> michael87: Well, that decision isnt based on "oh lord, look at that eyecandy".Personally, I dont even care about transparency, eyecandy, whatsoever - I care about being able to work with my linux boxes.
[11:09] <ubukou> jrib, when i tried to apt-get update it gave me a black screen. i dont have the laptop with me now. it was a screen i ve never seen in lunix.
[11:09] <mar77i> ubukou: you don't want a warranty that tells you what os to use
[11:09] <ubukou> jrib, i know its not a lot to go on with
[11:10] <lasers> basss: Your computer's distro and server distro? What are they? Are you using different shell or something like that?
[11:10]  * kousthub slaps deepak around with some plastic rings from Great Pacific Garbage Patch
[11:10] <ubukou> mar77i, what do you mean ? is that normal. they force you to use damn windows?
[11:10] <basss> lasers: im using osx & the server is ubuntu 12.04 minimal
[11:10] <jrib> ubukou: there's not much we can do if you don't have access to the laptop.  If you want to try to troubleshoot from ubuntu, come back with the laptop.  If you believe it's a hardware issue, deal with sony.  I doubt that installing linux voided your warranty, but I'm sure they won't provide support for it (linux)
[11:10] <DJones> kousthub: Don't do that
[11:10] <bekks> ubukou: Yes, and thats legal.
[11:11] <kousthub> sorry, he's new to irc..ma friend
[11:11] <bekks> ubukou: And there is nothing you can do about it. Or just ignore the void of warranty and follow the clues ubottu gave you.
[11:11] <michael87> bekks, I'm sencing hostility. I just think that eye candy and speed will bring in newwer users easily and accessiblity. I'm all for more open source users over microsoft after choices like windows 8 and xboxone.
[11:11] <ubukou> jrib, thats what the bitch on the phone told me .. god i wanted to smack her :P
[11:12] <sameh> hello plz any one help me i have problem in my lunixmint 15
[11:12] <DJones> !mint | sameh
[11:12] <ezra-s> ubukou, she's just an employed human who is telling you what she has been told to say
[11:12] <jrib> ubukou: well read your warranty, or ask her to point you to the relevant paragraph in the document.  Good luck
[11:12] <bekks> michael87: There is no hostility at all. But we are getting offtopic :)
[11:13] <ubukou> ezra-s, i know, i know. but hearing that installing linux voids hardware gurantee really set me off.
[11:13] <sameh> lunix mint butld in ubunu
[11:13] <ubukou> ezra-s, You are right
[11:13] <ezra-s> ubukou, I understand the feeling
[11:13] <lasers> basss: Can you paste your server's /etc/passwd?
[11:13] <DJones> sameh: It may be, but its not a supported version of Ubuntu
[11:13] <marianne_> ubukou: can you connect the laptop to a different monitor and see if the screen comes up? I have installed ubuntu on different sony laptops and it's always the 'additional drivers' that need to be loaded
[11:14] <sameh> ??? so how can i get help
[11:14] <mar77i> ubukou: as long as you're good enough to fix your machine anyway. when things break you're at least allowed to use a soldering iron now :)
[11:14] <michael87> bekks, indeed. so just curios how do you feel about 13.04? you sticking with lts till next release. I can understand and admire that. I am sort of a linux newb. but I've learned alot. I am fasinated that it can run on so many devices. and heck nasa uses it.
[11:14] <lasers> sameh: Join #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org
[11:14] <bekks> sameh: "Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org"
[11:14] <DJones> sameh: See what Ubottu said, that tells you were to get support for Mint
[11:15] <bekks> michael87: My feelings about ubuntu are offtopic for this supportc channel.
[11:15] <ezra-s> ubukou, next time answer, "oh really? I'll make sure not to buy  Sony ever again", chances are she may write it down and that might reach someone higher...
[11:15] <ezra-s> :)
[11:15] <sameh> ok thx u i will now
[11:15] <michael87> bekks, oh. well how do I get to the general ubuntu chat via xchat?
[11:15] <bekks> !ot | michael87
[11:16] <jrib> michael87: /join #ubuntu-offtopic
[11:16] <michael87> thank you :)
[11:17] <basss> lasers: just solved it, i created a user using useradd rather than adduser. Thanks anw :)
[11:17] <lasers> basss: No problem.
[11:19] <mar77i> does anyone know how I could set both my monitors to the same frequency?
[11:19] <mar77i> I have two monitors, and both are on 60hz, well, not exactly 60hz, the one on the left is set to 59.9 and every now and then it just drops a frame
[11:20] <lasers> mar77i: Xorg conf, maybe?
[11:20] <lasers> !xorg conf
[11:21] <ubukou> marianne, ezra-s i did say that. she talked to me like i opened tha laptop and banged it with a hammer. all because i formated the hd
[11:21] <lasers> !xorgconf
[11:21] <ubukou> ezra-s, thing is that they want me to pay 80 euros and buy the recovery disks to take the laptop to its previous state.
[11:21] <ezra-s> ubukou, ignorance reigns helpdesk support
[11:22] <suigenerus> hi
[11:23] <suigenerus> all of sudden, I've been getting errors like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11918318/Foto%2011.06.2013%2014%2012%2013.jpg . any ideas?
[11:23] <ubukou> ezra-s, hahahahaha. has any one encoutered blue screen during the windows installation? i know its not linux related but the fact that a clean linux install crashed like that is something that i have not seen before and it leads me to think that it is hardware related.
[11:23] <suigenerus> I'm on LiveCD now
[11:23] <mar77i> is there a way to create a xorg.conf from the current config?
[11:23] <ubukou> ezra-s, really sad techinical support.
[11:24] <bekks> ubukou: Then finally: follow the clue ubottu gave you instead continuing rantong on Sony.
[11:24] <lasers> suigenerus: This happen every time you reboot or what?
[11:24] <jj123> how can I get the .config file used to build my kernel? (I'm actually looking for the .config for linux-image-powerpc-e500mc)
[11:24] <ezra-s> ubukou, maybe hdd is failing or memory fault
[11:25] <ezra-s> ubukou, load a ubuntu/debian live disk, go resecue, do a mem test
[11:25] <suigenerus> lasers: everytime for the past 3-4 times
[11:25] <ubukou> ezra-s, good idea. bekks: i know i sound like an a** but i ve been on the phone for hours :) thanks all for the help...
[11:26] <lasers> suigeneris: "lspci | grep -i vga"
[11:26] <bekks> ubukou: Well, then just stop it and continue to get Ubuntu up and running?
[11:26] <suigeneris> lasers: VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce 8400] (rev a1)
[11:26] <ubukou> bekks, will do as soon as my gf brings me that laptop.
[11:27] <catphish> is there an ETA for any official ubuntu mobile releases?
[11:27] <acerimmer_> !touch|catphish,
[11:27] <lasers> suigeneris: In that case, you might want to install nvidia blob instead of using nouveau (or whatever your display is using).
[11:27] <ubukou> bekks, the fact that it had this problem form day one makes me think i ll have to give it to sony for hardware repair and i have to pay 80 for trying to fix it :(
[11:27] <ezra-s> ubukou, probably in the live/rescue disk something may get spit out in dmesg if there is something really wrong in the hardware
[11:27] <catphish> acerimmer_: thanks
[11:28] <ezra-s> ubukou, with hdparm you can test the hdd a bit too I believe
[11:28] <bekks> ubukou: It makes me think you dont want to stop being offtopic in here.
[11:28] <lasers> suigeneris: "lsmod | grep ^n"
[11:28] <marianne_> ubukou: I stepped away for a minute... what is the make and model of the laptop?
[11:29] <sandesh> hi
[11:29] <foo357> Hello, I ran a package update and something broke with the packages
[11:30] <ubukou> marianne, let me check .
[11:30] <sandesh> exit
[11:30] <bgardner> foo357: What message are you getting?
[11:30] <foo357> I remember that there's some command to check the status (and also possibly to fix it)
[11:30] <ActionParsnip> foo357: sudo apt-get -f install
[11:31] <suigeneris> lasers: nls_utf8               12493  1  nouveau               823577  3. it seems I've  been using nouveau. how do I get my OS to use nvidia?
[11:31] <bekks> !nvidia | suigeneris
[11:32] <bekks> suigeneris: You will have to use a driver version =< 173, since higher versions will not work with your 8400.
[11:32] <mar77i> !radeon
[11:33] <ubukou> marianne, my gf had no idea and the laptop is at home. thanks tho . if there is a place to find those disks for free i would love a link or something. thanks you for a ll the help.i do realize is was a bit off topic, sorry for that bekks , ezra-s thanks for the suggestions, i ll try them
[11:34] <suigeneris> bekks: will it be okay if I get nvidia-current?
[11:34] <ActionParsnip> bekks: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5754578  :)
[11:34] <ezra-s> good luck
[11:34] <ubukou> ezra-s, thanks.
[11:34] <suigeneris> oh, misread
[11:34] <marianne_> the make and model is usually located on the top for the keyboard...and also on a tag on the bottom (but the tag wears out, so the info along the top is better)
[11:35] <bekks> suigeneris: if it is a version =< 173, yes. If it is a higher version, no.
[11:35] <bekks> ActionParsnip: yay :)
[11:36] <ActionParsnip> bekks: works here :)
[11:36] <ubukou> marianne, wish i had the laptop with me.thanks for the info.
[11:36] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Using a 8400?
[11:36] <marianne_> ubukou: I'm usually lurking here... if you want to give it a try jusy PM me
[11:37] <suigeneris> bekks: it says Depends: xorg-video-abi-11 but it is not installable
[11:38] <ActionParsnip> bekks: 6150
[11:38] <ubukou> marianne, great, means a lot to me. i wanted to help my gf and i ended up making it worse.
[11:39] <bekks> ActionParsnip: Ah ok :)
[11:39] <halides> hi
[11:40] <lasers> ubukou: You formatted your girlfriend's data?
[11:40] <halides> i'd like to disable my ATI HDMI audio
[11:40] <suigeneris> !chroot
[11:40] <ubukou> lasers, no, nothing like that.
[11:40] <halides> it's using snd_hda_intel as it's driver, which is what the mobo-onboard sound card also uses, so i don't want to blacklist that
[11:41] <halides> any tips?
[11:41] <ActionParsnip> ubukou: use your backups then, simples
[11:41] <hi_> HI ALL

[11:43] <ranjan> Hi all, is there anyone who uses MAAS in this channel?
[11:43] <ranjan> i have some doubt
[11:43] <lasers> hi_: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ubuntu_(operating_system)
[11:46] <suigeneris> it seems I couldn't install nvidia-173 because I was using sudo and not in the chroot
[11:47] <suigeneris> argh. Errors were encountered while processing:  nvidia-173 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[11:47] <suigeneris> why me, god? why me?
[11:47] <lasers> suigeneris: Can't you reboot instead of using LiveCD and fix it from there?
[11:48] <lasers> suigeneris: Using nvidia blob for nvidia card is very common. You're just new.
[11:48] <suigeneris> lasers: I can't get past the screen I showed you
[11:48] <suigeneris> lasers: should I get nvidia-common?
[11:48] <hi_> i watched a up YOU TUBE video with chick red long haired on it and i dont think it helped and it talked aboUT SWIPPNESS somtimes when i try to open up files and pargames up it just to slow CAN SOMONE HELP ME I DONT UNDERSTAND WHY IT TAKR A  F******** HOUR TO OPEN UP THING AT TIME I JUST FEEL LIKE I WANT TO BLOW MY BRAINS OUT OF MY HEAD LOL HELP ME !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[11:49] <sameh__> ????? lunixmint 15 not support ???? i have Problem in the definition VGA in linux VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Atom Processor D2xxx/N2xxx Integrated Graphics Controller (rev 09)
[11:49] <lasers> suigeneris: You probably can (but does not know how). Are you familiar with apt-get/aptitude? Installing stuffs via commandline? Fixing stuffs via nano?
[11:49] <bekks> hi_: And watch your language please.
[11:49] <DJones> sameh__: We still don't support Mint in t5his channel
[11:49] <suigeneris> lasers: yep
[11:49] <hi_> cap were ment for agervation
[11:49] <hi_> perpisces only
[11:49] <lasers> suigeneris: Okay. Great. What about TTY?
[11:50] <foo357> bgardner: this is what apt-get -f install reports pastebin.com/T0Raa7nD
[11:50] <suigeneris> lasers: I have a xorg.conf.failsafe. do you mean the shell by TTY?
[11:50] <bekks> hi_: So whats the actual problem you are facing? I am refusing to read your rant above.
[11:50] <lasers> suigeneris: Yes. That TTY.
[11:50] <hi_> my orogrames open up slowly
[11:50] <suigeneris> yes
[11:50] <suigeneris> lasers: yes
[11:51] <hi_> and i feel like at time i just want to blow my brains out
[11:51] <foo357> bgardner: at a glance it seems as if two packages include a .so file and this causes trouble
[11:51] <Kh4xToR> hi_, can you leave the part of "blowing your brains out" out the equation for now please?
[11:51] <hi_> ok
[11:51] <lasers> suigeneris: Okay. Go there. Read !nvidia. You want to install nvidia, nvidia-settings, nvidia-xconfig. And then do "sudo nvidia-xconfig" -- That should generate a new xorg.conf -- then you reboot.
[11:52] <hi_> i was jking
[11:52] <lasers> suigeneris: "nvidia" being your chosen nvidia version.
[11:52] <Kh4xToR> hi_, are you using ubuntu the OS ?
[11:52] <bgardner> foo357: I agree, what is that mypackage it references, have you been building packages?
[11:52] <hi_> yes it my amin os
[11:52] <hi_> not jointed with WINDOWS OS
[11:52] <foo357> bgardner: no it's supplied by a commercial company
[11:52] <Kh4xToR> hi_, what is your PC/Laptop stats?
[11:53] <hi_> laptop
[11:53] <hi_> dell isperion 9400
[11:53] <suigeneris> lasers: nvidia-xconfig not located
[11:53] <Kh4xToR> hi_: specifications of your laptop?
[11:53] <hi_> ????
[11:53] <lasers> suigeneris: "aptitude search nvidia-x"
[11:54] <hi_> oh about that it has init
[11:54] <Kh4xToR> hi_ : RAM? ROM? Processor ? etc..
[11:54] <hi_> it ten year old or a little older
[11:54] <bgardner> foo357: So it's not an Ubuntu-supplied package?
[11:54] <foo357> bgardner: anyway, it's no problem to remove these "mypackage" packages, but when I try to do so through "apt-get --force-yes remove" something fails.
[11:54] <Anil-Bafila> i am unable to control Adobe flash player can anyone tell me how to solve it
[11:54] <bgardner> foo357: Okay, so us what the error messages are when you do that.
[11:55] <Kh4xToR> hi_ : Which Ubuntu are you using? 12.04? 10.04?
[11:55] <bgardner> foo357: *show
[11:55] <Anil-Bafila> 12.04
[11:55] <hi_> can i im somone all chating confussing me
[11:55] <hi_> if you dont mind
[11:55] <nickgermaine> If I build a distro, I was wondering how I would incorporate Synaptic package manager and if I can use ubuntu repositories?
[11:56] <Kh4xToR> hi_ : I dnt guarantee a solution but sure go ahead
[11:56] <Kh4xToR> Anil-Bafila give me a moment
[11:56] <lasers> !remaster | nickgermaine
[11:56] <foo357> bgardner: I get some amounts of output about unmet dependencies, can I force apt-get to ingore this?
[11:56] <nickgermaine> well I'm not forking, I'm going from scratch really
[11:56] <hi_> gaibe me an hour to fing you name lol
[11:57] <bekks> ubukou: There is no need to contact me outside this channel, especially not in an unasked query.
[11:57] <bgardner> foo357: Go ahead and pastebin it up, it's hard to guess at what the root cause is without it.
[11:57] <Kh4xToR> hi_ : I will be done with lunch then sounds good
[11:57] <suigeneris> lasers: still Errors were encountered while processing:  nvidia-173 E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1)
[11:58] <ubukou> bekks,  hey there, sorry for being a bit off topic. its just that i ve been using linux for years and i feel really confortable with users of ubuntu to ask some things. just as confortable as i am helping people in here.have a great day.
[11:58] <Anil-Bafila> i have searched askubuntu.com i was unable to get my solution

[12:01] <ActionParsnip> Anil-Bafila: is there not a config app in Dash?

[12:03] <Anil-Bafila> i installed it from ubuntu software center
[12:03] <BluesKaj> Hiyas all
[12:03] <suigeneris> ActionParsnip: do you know how I can get past https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11918318/Foto%2011.06.2013%2014%2012%2013.jpg _
[12:04] <ActionParsnip> Anil-Bafila: ok, run:  uname -a  lsb_release -a; dpkg -l | egrep 'flash|gnash|swf|spark'    and use http://pastie.org to create a pastebin. Once you hit paste, copy the new address bar address and paste it here please
[12:04] <lasers> suigeneris: Yes. You need to install nvidia blob -- (in which will blacklist nouveau). Also, nvidia-xconfig to generate a new xorg.conf in your /etc/X11 -- then you reboot.
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> hi BluesKaj
[12:05] <suigeneris> lasers: there is no nvidia-xconfig
[12:05] <ActionParsnip> suigeneris:  lasers seems to have an idea or two
[12:05] <BluesKaj> hey ActionParsnip

[12:06] <d-egg> Cannot use lesskey file "/etc/sysless"
[12:06] <lasers> suigeneris: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/en/man1/alt-nvidia-96-xconfig.1.html -- What does "aptitude search nvidia" show?

[12:07] <samgabbay> Sammy herefrom the QATeam to help :P
[12:07] <ActionParsnip> d-egg: try adding sudo, maybe its an access issue
[12:08] <d-egg> ActionParsnip: No, the same error
[12:08] <Anil-Bafila> ActionParsnip i pasted your command and i got output like this uname: extra operand `lsb_release'

[12:08] <SteveBell> hi all. question about a harddrive. I have an ext2 file format external harddrive. it says there are 63gb free. but 0 bytes available when I run df -h in terminal
[12:08] <ActionParsnip> Anil-Bafila: use http://pastie.org    and you can give all the output
[12:08] <SteveBell> is this expected? anything I can do about this?
[12:09] <suigeneris> lasers: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5754669/
[12:09] <Ben64> SteveBell: might be reserved space for root
[12:10] <SteveBell> it's not the system drive. Ben 64 what would that mean?
[12:10] <bgardner> foo357: Have you already done 'sudo apt-get remove mypackage:i386' ?
[12:10] <Ben64> SteveBell: exactly what it sounds like.... reserved space. for root.
[12:10] <Anil-Bafila> i have pasted it
[12:10] <SteveBell> so how much space would be reserved for root on ex harddisks? Ben64?
[12:11] <Ben64> SteveBell: i think by default its 5%, you can change it though
[12:11] <lasers> suigeneris: Try "apt-cache search nvidia-xconfig" too -- It may be packed in different package.
[12:12] <SteveBell> any reason I might want to keep that reserved space? I don't think I need it. its a harddrive I use for movies. that's all.
[12:12] <suigeneris> lasers: nothing
[12:13] <Ben64> SteveBell: the closer you get to filling a partition, the more likely things will become fragmented
[12:14] <lasers> suigeneris: What version? (Did you follow the link and get your dpkg error (1) fixed)?
[12:14] <Anil-Bafila> can any one suggest a link to solve flash player controls not working problems i have already gone to askubuntu.com i am using ubuntu 12.04
[12:14] <SteveBell> Ben64:  so I need that reserved space? hfs doesn't seem to use such reserved space. But I'm not a systems guy so maybe that reserved space is a good thing?
[12:15] <suigeneris> lasers: 13.04 and dpkg error not fixed even though I followed that link
[12:15] <suigeneris> ?S
[12:15] <Ben64> SteveBell: no, not needed. just things can get fragmented without it
[12:15] <Ben64> suigeneris: what video card do you have
[12:16] <SteveBell> Ben64:  you are perfectly right about that 5%: http://www.microhowto.info/howto/reduce_the_space_reserved_for_root_on_an_ext2_ext3_or_ext4_filesystem.html
[12:16] <suigeneris> Ben64: NVIDIA Corporation G98 [GeForce 8400]
[12:17] <Ben64> suigeneris: ok good, you should be able to use the newest drivers
[12:17] <lasers> suigeneris: Erm. Trying to help you. Odd that there aren't nvidia-xconfig. I'm thinking it might be in nvidia-settings (or you may have to enable few more things in /etc/apt/sources).
[12:18] <suigeneris> Ben64: but someone (I don't remember who) said I needed to use <=173
[12:18] <Ben64> shouldn't need an xorg.conf
[12:18] <Ben64> suigeneris: nope, works with the latest
[12:19] <Ben64> suigeneris: if you plan on doing any gaming, i'd suggest 310 or up
[12:19] <suigeneris> lasers: that page you linked suggests nvidia-173 should have it and I've been getting that dpkg error on nvidia-173
[12:19] <suigeneris> Ben64: god forbid, no
[12:20] <Ben64> oh, well i game on here
[12:20] <lasers> suigeneris: nvidia-173 where? I gave you a link to fix "error code(1)."
[12:21] <suigeneris> lasers: I've been getting that dpkg error witg nvidia-173
[12:22] <suigeneris> lasers: you linked another page as well
[12:23] <lasers> suigeneris: I don't see nvidia-173. :) -- Okay, the link I gave you... "sudo dpkg -r nvidia-173 && sudo apt-get -f install && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade" does not work?
[12:23] <SteveBell> Ben64: thanks for that hint. set to 1% now :)
[12:24] <Ben64> SteveBell: np
[12:27] <SiPlus> Hi
[12:27] <SiPlus> Please help me, I'm getting black screen when pressing anything in the Live CD menu
[12:28] <SiPlus> There's no F6 menu to enable nomodeset, I'm getting GRUB boot menu instead of the purple centered menu with Ubuntu logo
[12:28] <lasers> suigeneris: When we fix that, then we can go ahead and try to install your choice of nvidia version (or nvidia-current).
[12:29] <suigeneris> lasers: I managed to think and run software-sources and check nvidia propriatery (however that is spelled)
[12:30] <suigeneris> lasers: the last command you gave me coughed because of a possibly invalid ppa
[12:31] <suigeneris> brb, rebooting

[12:38] <LoseYourself> hello
[12:38] <LoseYourself> anybody?
[12:39] <meet> am on 13.04 gnome. everytime i open the activities overview and try to search for an app, it freezes for a while. When i click on the app, it freezes again. Also, gnome shell keeps on crashing. How do I find the cause?
[12:39] <acerimmer_> LoseYourself, we see you
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> meet: is the OS fully updated?
[12:40] <meet> ActionParsnip: yes
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> Anil-Bafila: you need to copy and paste the new URL in the browser
[12:40] <skipp> i am havingg a similar problem, i have no apps in the activities overview
[12:40] <ActionParsnip> meet: is it the same as a fresh user?
[12:41] <meet> ActionParsnip: i did not understand.
[12:45] <Ubuntux> Ubuntu<3
[12:46] <newspaper> hello, i have just installed gnome 3.8.3 on top of ubuntu server. When i open the activities overview, there are no apps. I cannot even search. the only way to open apps is to use Alt+F2. any ideas?
[12:47] <meet> ActionParsnip: fresh installation?
[12:50] <nenad> hi
[12:50] <newspaper> hello, i have just installed gnome 3.8.3 on top of ubuntu server. When i open the activities overview, there are no apps. I cannot even search. the only way to open apps is to use Alt+F2. any ideas?
[12:51] <ezra-s> newspaper, you are missing packages probably, did you install with "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-gnome-desktop"?
[12:52] <newspaper> yes i did
[12:52] <newspaper> that was my original thought as well
[12:52] <newspaper> i just cannot figure out what package i am missing
[12:52] <newspaper> is there a list somewhere of pertinent packages to gnome-menu?
[12:54] <negev> hi, this page: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookAir4-2 claims external monitors work on a macbook air 4,2, but right underneath it says thunderbolt is not supported on linux. since there is no other port to connect a monitor to, these statements appear to be mutually exclusive.
[12:54] <ezra-s> newspaper, ubuntu-gnome-desktop should be enough afaik
[12:55] <newspaper> ezra-s: hmmm, maybe ill just try to purge and reinstall.
[12:55] <ezra-s> newspaper, did you have previous .gnome o .local directories with previous gnome stuff in there?
[12:55] <newspaper> ezra-s: no, this was the first installation of a DE on top of ubuntu server 13.10
[12:55] <ShapeShifter499> hi
[12:55] <ShapeShifter499> I'm just wondering if I hit the up arrow key (or any other key for that matter) during a scp transfer, does that do anything to the file in transit?
[12:55] <ezra-s> newspaper, I'd check my home directory, delete previous stuff, restart lightdm and try logging again
[12:56] <ezra-s> newspaper, 13.10? wow.. who knows what's the state of that
[12:56] <bgardner> ShapeShifter499: No, not unless you break the transfer.
[12:57] <ShapeShifter499> bgardner, oh ok thanks
[12:57] <newspaper> ezra-s: yeah it was mostly for the updated gnome-shell
[12:58] <newspaper> i changed the repos and did an upgrade
[12:58] <newspaper> ezra-s: aslo, i do not have lightdm installed. only gdm
[13:00] <newspaper> ezra-s: shit i just realized i did not do a dist-upgrade. could that be a cause?
[13:00] <ezra-s> newspaper, probably, try

[13:08] <jrib> hi_: depends on your internet connection
[13:08] <BluesKaj> hi_, depends on your connection....some are faster than others
[13:08] <acerimmer_> hi_, obviously, depends on your internet provider so how would we know?  however, please consider using torrent ... better quality download and eases server load

[13:11] <Serpiente> when is the end of life for ubuntu lts 12.04?
[13:11] <Serpiente> read that 14 lts will be release by next year?
[13:12] <compdoc> Serpiente, five years after 04-12
[13:12] <Pici> Serpiente: Ubuntu version numbers are the YEAR.MONTH of release.
[13:12] <Serpiente> great thanks.
[13:13] <newspaper> hello, i have just installed gnome 3.8 on top of ubuntu server 13.04. When i open the activities overview, there are no apps shown. i cannot search for apps either. the only way to open apps is through the terminal. any ideas why gnome-menus is not populated?
[13:15] <lasers> newspaper: Try using "sudo tasksel" -- Be careful with tab and space. (AND NOT TO PRESS ENTER BY MISTAKE). Maybe it'll pull in more/missing packages.
[13:16] <anonymous_> help
[13:16] <newspaper> lasers: ok ill try that
[13:16] <bgardner> anonymous_: Ask your question
[13:16] <anonymous_> #loic
[13:17] <newspaper> lasers: what exactly am i looking for in this list of packages?
[13:17] <lasers> newspaper: What does it show? (Cause you used server 13.04... It might be different)
[13:18] <starsinmypockets> Looking for a good automated mysql backup solution to manage about a dozen databases on my server... something with incremental backups and notifications would be awesome
[13:18] <starsinmypockets> Looking at this automysqlbackup
[13:18] <bgardner> anonymous_: You won't find assistance with that here.
[13:18] <starsinmypockets> Any thoughts?
[13:18] <sanderj_> What is the name of ubuntu's X window system?
[13:19] <newspaper> lasers: it shows all of the packages it showed during installation at this step. it also shows all of the desktop environments. alot of stuff really, even ubuntu touch
[13:19] <lasers> newspaper: Some of them are checked?
[13:20] <king_slayer> hello
[13:20] <newspaper> lasers: yes, the ones i checked during installation: ssh, basic ubuntu server, etc...
[13:21] <bgardner> king_slayer: Welcome, go ahead
[13:21] <lasers> newspaper: Ah okay. Then you probably don't need to do anything. It's worth a try. :)
[13:23] <newspaper> lasers: do you know of a place where i can find packages pertinent to the gnome-menu system?
[13:25] <suigeneris> *sigh*
[13:26] <lasers> newspaper: No I do not. You could try and ask for a list of fresh Ubuntu 13.0 installed packages. It could be something small.
[13:27] <bgardner> sanderj_: See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X_Window_System
[13:27] <suigeneris> lasers: I really thought it was nvidia. so I took out the card and rebooted, and whaddayaknow? https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11918318/Foto%2011.06.2013%2016%2017%2056.jpg
[13:27] <suigeneris> *sigh*
[13:28] <genomedz> Hey
[13:28] <lasers> suigeneris: Do you have /etc/X11/xorg.conf ?
[13:28] <newspaper> lasers: alright ill try that. this is very frusterating because i know its just some missing package but i cant figure out which one. ahhhhhhhhhh
[13:28] <lasers> suigeneris: (You could try making a backup (removing it and restart X)).
[13:29] <lasers> !clone | newspaper
[13:29] <lasers> newspaper: Ask somebody in this channel -- they can give you a list -- then you compare it with your own.
[13:30] <newspaper> lasers: alright ill pull that from this machine and then check it when i go to work today since i have a working installation there
[13:31] <lasers> suigeneris: (From what I understand, you never installed/configured nvidia in first place. You were almost there).
[13:32] <suigeneris> lasers: I installed nvidia-304 and that brought nvidia-xconfig. I ran it and that created a xorg.conf. hey, that might be a problem. my xorg.conf has nvidia in it even though I have taken out the card
[13:32] <lasers> suigeneris: Ha! Yup. It need to be installed -- then you can run nvidia-xconfig again for new xorg.conf tthis time. :)
[13:33] <suigeneris> rm'd it, brb
[13:33] <lasers> !nouveau | suigeneris
[13:33] <lasers> suigeneris: nouveau is [weak] imo.
[13:35] <newspaper> quit
[13:41] <marianne> anyone out there have a card reader that works... are they for the most part PNP?
[13:41] <HaltingState> empathy needs OTR support; this is ridiculous; its been 4 years
[13:42] <gnimsh> Hello. I'm not realy sure how to describe my problem but I'm going to try my best.
[13:43] <gnimsh> When I close a program, let's say firefox for instance, instead of the window disappearing, it's almost like it shows the minimize effect, but then the window overlaps so I get a "window on window" effect.
[13:43] <gnimsh> This happens when shutting down the laptop as well.
[13:43] <gnimsh> I think it may be compiz/gnome related and would like to try to reset these settings to defaults but am not sure how to do that.
[13:44] <bathman> anyone here that knows a bit about installing touchscreen in ubuntu?
[13:50] <uovobw> bathman: i've done that for work, what do you need to know?
[13:52] <bathman> uovobw : over here we tried 12.04 lubuntu as well as xubuntu, and touchscreen install won't work
[13:52] <bathman> if you have a moment, i can link some output:
[13:52] <uovobw> what touchscreen? (i used only ubuntu i have to admin)
[13:53] <bathman> you mean which piece of hardware, or what driver?
[13:53] <uovobw> both :)
[13:53] <sucoplus> hi all
[13:54] <bathman> uovobw : hardware device should be 3M - in an industrial pc device
[13:54] <sucoplus> can someboyd explain me why my ubuntu 12.04 vps has a 2.6.32-16-pve kernel installed?
[13:54] <uovobw> sucoplus: prolly running in xen ,it requires a particular kernel
[13:55] <uovobw> bathman: i am perplexed, lsusb what is telling about it? is it loading any driver? single touch or multitouch? (protocol A or B, if you happen to know?)
[13:55] <sucoplus> uovobw: so if I try to install normal kernel, all will blow?
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> sucoplus: its a VPS, so probably will have some weird ass setup
[13:55] <uovobw> sucoplus: not sure, wouldn't risk it
[13:55] <ActionParsnip> sucoplus: is the kernel doing what you need?
[13:55] <sucoplus> uovobw: nope, it's a production machine, better not to try
[13:56] <sucoplus> ActionParsnip: yeah, but I have some other replicas
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> sucoplus: then why do you need the 'normal kernel' if the current kernel is ok?
[13:56] <sucoplus> ActionParsnip: and would like to have the same setup in all
[13:56] <AtuM> Hi. A strange issue is upon my server.. with the latest kernel 3.8.0.23 the mouse cursor becomes invisible.. the mouse works just no cursor. I use wdm and fvwm
[13:56] <ActionParsnip> sucoplus: as long as it provides what you need, it will be fine :)
[13:56] <bathman> uovobw : it's a com4 serial device: /dev/ttyS4

[13:57] <sucoplus> ActionParsnip: of course, I'll let it to be happy, thanks for info
[13:57] <AtuM> if I boot 3.5.x kernel, then the cursor is seen just fine.. something must have become corrupt upgrading from 12.10
[13:58] <sucoplus> uovobw: thanks also for help ;)
[13:58] <uovobw> bathman: hmmm, never used a serial touch device, not even sure there is support for that
[13:58] <uovobw> sucoplus: no problem!

[13:59] <MacroMan> I can't seem to edit /etc/network/interfaces as it's read only, nor can I change it's permissions, even as root. How can I edit this file?
[13:59] <uovobw> bathman: it's not usb, what protocol does it speak?
[13:59] <jrib> MacroMan: are the only admin of this machine?  What is the output of "lsattr /etc/network/interfaces"?
[14:00] <jrib> are you*
[14:00] <Ububegin> Just intalled ubuntu 12.04.. But cant find synaptic manager in my pc... Only finding ubuntu software centre

[14:00] <jrib> MacroMan: you mistyped the command
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> Ububegin: its in the universe repo, you can instal it if you want
[14:00] <MacroMan> doh
[14:00] <ActionParsnip> Ububegin: why not use software centre?
[14:01] <MacroMan> jrib, ----i--------e- /etc/network/interfaces
[14:01] <jrib> MacroMan: that file has the "immutable" attribute.  You don't remember doing that/
[14:01] <Ububegin> ActionParsnip: I am software developer.. Need to install various softwares along the way
[14:01] <MacroMan> No, I didn't install the server
[14:02] <MacroMan> jrib, It's a dedicated server that was installed by the data centre.
[14:02] <jrib> MacroMan: you should speak with the person who did about why they did that.  But anyway, now you know what you can do
[14:02] <MacroMan> Thanks
[14:02] <jrib> MacroMan: (chattr lets you change attributes)
[14:02] <MacroMan> jrib, Just googled it thanks

[14:05] <bathman> uovobw : would be a bummer :)
[14:06] <uovobw> bathman: fear it is :( i only see mentions to the old suse, from 11 years ago... if nobody ported the driver to xorg i fear you are out of luck

[14:27] <Vashibuntu> suigeneris: wait for a while
[14:27] <Tking> ActionParsnip, because when i do a sudo apt-get install update   -     i get this    -     unable to resolve host To-PC
[14:27] <Vashibuntu> ActionParsnip: where are the saved?
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: you make them yourself, using a removable storage
[14:27] <Vashibuntu> ActionParsnip: i haven't made any
[14:27] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: you have a backup...right?
[14:28] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: can't be very important then
[14:28] <Vashibuntu> ActionParsnip: go fry
[14:28] <suigeneris> I've been waiting for 10 minutes
[14:28] <Vashibuntu> ActionParsnip: if I am telling you they are important they are.
[14:28] <Vashibuntu> :)
[14:29] <jrib> !undelete | Vashibuntu
[14:29] <Vashibuntu> suigeneris: reinstall..:-|
[14:29] <jrib> Vashibuntu: but yes, if you don't have backups then it's not important imo
[14:29] <Vashibuntu> love you ubottu..:-*
[14:30] <suigeneris> I *am* reinstalling
[14:30] <Vashibuntu> jrib: ACCIDENTAL..
[14:30] <jrib> Vashibuntu: I stand by what I said ;)  Just remember this feeling and make backups in the future
[14:31] <lasers> suigeneris: How big is the drive?
[14:31] <hotmedal> I tried to install 13.10 alongside my windows 8, with uefi enabled, but now I can't boot from the HDD it says "No operating system fount ctrl+alt+del to restart". How do I fix the BootMGR from just the ubuntu liveUSB?
[14:32] <Tking> Please how do i solve this? I am trying to do sudo gedit /etc/host and its saying this  - (gedit:4966): IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/trojan/.config/ibus/bus is not root!
[14:32] <Pici> !gksudo | Tking
[14:32] <lasers> suigeneris: If you're using 2TB, it will take day(s) -- so it is handy to have /smaller/ hard drive for OS.
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: your drive IDE fails and the drive is not able to spin up...where is your data?
[14:33] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: no backup = data is disposable
[14:33] <suigeneris> lasers, 320gb. shouldn't there be an indicator if it's the drive size?
[14:34] <myusuf3> so I need to map an internal port to an externall accessable port
[14:34] <myusuf3> how do I accomplish ths
[14:34] <hotmedal> I tried to install 13.10 alongside my windows 8, with uefi enabled, but now I can't boot from the HDD it says "No operating system fount ctrl+alt+del to restart". How do I fix the BootMGR from just the ubuntu liveUSB?
[14:34] <Tking> Pici that doesn't return anything gedit pops up but blank
[14:34] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: you will need another drive of equal size and a live ubuntu CD, you can run foremost but it will spit ever file it finds (deleted or still standing) to the destination drive
[14:34] <lasers> suigeneris: 320GB is not bad. 10 minutes is too early to tell. Just wait half hour or so. No pointing in rushing if you have been doing everything properly since the beginning.
[14:35] <Pici> Tking: perhaps because /etc/host does not exist. do you mean /etc/hosts ?
[14:35] <suigeneris> sorry I'm slow. I am on a phone
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: if the data area where the files were has been overwritten in the meantime it is GONE
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: once foremost finishes processing the entire drive, you can can then review the found files
[14:35] <suigeneris> lasers, okay I'll wait
[14:35] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: you will lose file location and file name but the files may be recovered, some may also be damaged
[14:36] <lasers> suigeneris: Is it stuck at 33% or so? Normal. :)
[14:36] <ubuntu11> hey any one can help me? i want to listen all tcp/udp on my vps..
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: If you had a backup this would be a lot faster and the data would be garunteed
[14:36] <ubuntu11> in other words i want to open all tcp/udp port..please help me..
[14:36] <ActionParsnip> Vashibuntu: the fact that this "important" data is not backed up is pretty poor on your part, but hey, people love learning the value of backup the hardest way posible
[14:36] <arne__> I'm about to recover a 20 year old Amiga HDD soon... good idea to pull a disk image immidiately?
[14:37] <tgm4883> ubuntu11, you want what to listen on all ports?
[14:37] <acerimmer> arne__, absolutely!  clone it then disconnect it and don't touch!
[14:37] <suigeneris> lasers, can't tell the percentage. no progress bars
[14:37] <genii> arne__: Yank the drive and use dd or ddrescue to make an image of it to a file in case things go horribly wrong.

[14:38] <ActionParsnip> arne__: couldn't hurt, arn't they like 700Mb ?
[14:38] <ubuntu11> so when i scan my server from remote location port must be open..
[14:38] <lasers> suigeneris: Oh. I was thinking about text-based installer, not graphical. Sorry.
[14:38] <tgm4883> ubuntu11, so do 'sudo ufw disable'
[14:38] <arne__> thanks genii. Does the dis tool in ubuntu do the same thing as the tterminal command when imaging?
 yes i diable firewall..did evrything..but still few tcp ports are open..
[14:39] <genii> arne__: Yes, it doesn't care about what's on the drive, it just makes a bit-for-bit image of the contents
[14:39] <arne__> Because I saw I can create a disk image from the GUI disk tool. ddrescue is a bit more advanced since it copies even with drive errors?
[14:40] <tgm4883> ubuntu11, yes, because you don't understand how networking works.... you need something to listen on those ports. It would probably just be better if you told us exactly what you are trying to do
[14:40] <suigeneris> lasers, is there a text-based installer? I didn't know
[14:40] <L30> Hello anyone here?
[14:40] <acerimmer> L30, yes
[14:40] <arne__> ActionParsnip, It's an 60 or 80MB Conner 44pin IDE
[14:40] <ActionParsnip> arne__: even better :)
[14:40] <genii> arne__: Yes, ddrescue will basically keep on going instead of erroring out when it hits a section with read errors
 i know if a service running then particular port will be open.. now i want to open all ports so if from remote location i send traffic on it ,it should pass
[14:41] <samgabbay> Greetings people from the world
[14:41] <shoaib> hi
[14:41] <lasers> suigeneris:  http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads
[14:41] <arne__> I bought a similar drive on amazon just to test it with my USB adapter. It shows up in linux and the disk tool can create an image of it. Not sure if I should do a ddrescue instead though...
 so for all the port i cant run particular services
[14:42] <shoaib> i need a help about installing ubuntu 13.04 in windows xp pro
[14:42] <tgm4883> ubuntu11, but what is it going to pass on? There isn't something listening on every port
[14:42] <genii> !wubi | shoaib
[14:42] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: you do realise XP is dead in about 250 days....
 i am doing some testing..something uniq..
[14:42] <tgm4883> ubuntu11, doubt it
[14:43] <acerimmer> shoaib, and wubi should also be considered dead
[14:43] <genii> shoaib: The link from the bot also has instructions for later than 12.04
[14:43] <shoaib> how then i can install
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: if you resize the NTFS in the Ubuntu liveCD, you can install to the freed space. Personally I'd just wipe the whole thing and install Ubuntu as the sole OS
[14:43] <ubuntu11> come in seprate chat so i can explain
[14:43] <tgm4883> sure
[14:43] <shoaib> i am getting prefix not set
[14:43] <shoaib> when i reboot
[14:43] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: did you run trough the installer?
[14:43] <shoaib> no
[14:44] <shoaib> yes
[14:44] <shoaib> i did run the installer
[14:44] <shoaib> in xp
 give me ping on seprate chat
[14:44] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: is the NTFS healthy? when did you last run a chkdsk?
[14:44] <arne__> thanks for the help genii  , ActionParsnip , I guess I'll prepare an approriate terminal command... I think it will show up as dev/sdb on this machine
[14:44] <shoaib> when i double clicked the ubuntu
[14:45] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: why not resize NTFS and do a proper install....
[14:45] <shoaib> then it said demo or installation  the it asked to reboot so i rebooted and then it asked ubuntu or xp so i selected ubuntu then i got (hd,0
[14:46] <shoaib> prefix not set
[14:46] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: XP is dead in 293 days 9 hours and 12 mins :)
[14:46] <shoaib> so how can i get help
[14:47] <shoaib> plz help i am new to this ubuntu thing i really want it
[14:47] <suigeneris> unfsckingbelievable
[14:47] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: I would go to add/remove programs and remove the Wubi install then boot to the Ubuntu install CD and resize your NTFS, then install to that space
[14:47] <acerimmer> !dualboot|shoaib,
[14:48] <shoaib> how can i install completely without partitions
[14:48] <suigeneris> it's still waiting
[14:48] <hotmedal> I tried to install 13.10 alongside my windows 8, with uefi enabled, but now I can't boot from the HDD it says "No operating system fount ctrl+alt+del to restart". How do I fix the BootMGR from just the ubuntu liveUSB?
[14:48] <BluesKaj> did anyone ask shoaib if he wants to keep windows ?
[14:48] <shoaib> i dont want windows
[14:49] <shoaib> i want one os that is ubuntu
[14:49] <arne__> Do you want to keep the windows files though?
[14:49] <acerimmer> shoaib, well that makes it easy!  boot your ubuntu cdrom/usb, format your hdd and install ubuntu!  Note: on an older machine, you might wish to try xubuntu or lubuntu instead
[14:50] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: if you only want Ubuntu then boot to the CD and tell the installer to use all the available space, it will destroy your Windows install (so be sure your backups are good) and then install
[14:50] <shoaib> i made a cd for 12.04 lts i then pressed f12 then i selected cd rom then it said boot from cd then after 5 min it went back to xp
[14:51] <arne__> When my win XP installation died, I made a unetbootin something live USB stick and booted into Ubuntu, then rescued the windows files from there
[14:51] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: did you burn the CD as an image, or did you extract the file and burn those?
[14:51] <shoaib> no as a image
[14:52] <shoaib> i burned as a image
[14:52] <shoaib> with iso burner
[14:52] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: so if you open the CD in Windows you see the Ubuntu file, or do you see just one file??
[14:52] <shoaib> 1 file
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: that's why then
[14:53] <shoaib> just iso file
[14:53] <byc__> hello
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: you didn't burn right. I suggest you install imgburn
[14:53] <shoaib> i burned it to my cd
[14:53] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: then open the ISO with imgburn and it will extract the files and put them on the CD for you
[14:54] <shoaib> cani do anything without burning any cd
[14:54] <arne__> If you have a spare usb stick you can try unetbootin if all else fails
[14:55] <shoaib> what is the unetbootin thing i have a spare usb stick
[14:55] <shoaib> how to do
[14:55] <arne__> unetbootin is a program which downloads a linux variant of your choice and puts it onto an usb stick which you can boot from
[14:56] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: if your system can boot USB, you can use unetbootin to make a bootable USB stick
[14:57] <arne__> basically you run unetbootin, with a 4+gig stick ready, and you get a little windows dialog box where you can select distro whatever in a dropdown list.
[14:57] <shoaib> it has some option in my bios liek usb-hdd and many
[14:57] <shoaib> i have 2gb can i do it
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: download the app, plug the USB stick in and point unetbootin to your ISO you downloaded
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: the ISO is 700Mb, so yes
[14:57] <arne__> and if you choose Ubuntu Live 12.10 or so, you can also add some space for persistent storage of files, like 2 gigs
[14:57] <shoaib> ok
[14:57] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: lots and lots of Youtube vids on this you know
[14:57] <BluesKaj> doubt a system that's been running XP has USB boot capability
[14:58] <ActionParsnip> BluesKaj: depends on BIOS
[14:58] <BluesKaj> well , yeah ActionParsnip , but USB boot hasn't been around very long
[14:59] <arne__> the messy thing is setting up the usb boot order thing in BIOS, yeah. Could not do it on my old Dell without hardware tampering
[14:59] <shoaib> in unetbootin there is a option called hard disk how can i do it with that
[14:59] <arne__> But it was easy on my HP laptop, 4 years old
[15:00] <BluesKaj> or plop
[15:00] <arne__> If you already have downloaded an iso, you can make unetbooting use that
[15:01] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: go watch some youtube vids, they will guide you well
[15:01] <arne__> yeah, it's easier once you see it
[15:01] <shoaib> i have downloaded
[15:01] <shoaib> then what
[15:02] <arne__> Do you want to keep any files from windows, shoaib?
[15:02] <shoaib> no i dont want
[15:02] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rvsDHM68jM8
[15:03] <jdoles> I think wine needs 32 bits mesa libraries, but... where are they?
[15:03] <ActionParsnip> jdoles: if you use apt-get it should manage the multiarch for you
[15:04] <jdoles> Or a more broader question: which .so file do I need for wine to work with the radeon driver?
[15:04] <jdoles> (I use a Radeon HD5700)
[15:05] <jdoles> wine has an environment variable determining where it looks for gl drivers.
[15:05] <ActionParsnip> jdoles: wine will work with the opn source driver, do you mean games with 3D accelleration
[15:05] <jdoles> All I need to know is the file to use.
[15:05] <shoaib> cani use daemon tools to install ubuntu 13.04
[15:06] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: the open-source 3D driver + wine do work together.
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> shoaib: no, you will need a bootable device as windows will not be around. Think about it]
[15:06] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: I have seen it working and I would like it to work again.
[15:06] <ActionParsnip> jdoles: then udev will load the open source driver for you, you don't have to worry about a '.so file'
[15:06] <as2000> Anyone using PenPod?
[15:07] <as2000> PengPod
[15:07] <ActionParsnip> !anyone | as2000
[15:07] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: details: http://paste.kde.org/770138/
[15:08] <ActionParsnip> jdoles: what are you trying to run?
[15:08] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: a 3D game which you likely don
[15:08] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: 't run.
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> jdoles: maybe but I can search the wine appdb for it, can't I
[15:09] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: that would be the wrong solution path.
[15:09] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: considering that it has already worked before.
[15:09] <ActionParsnip> jdoles: if the game is known to NOT work, it will moot any efforts
[15:09] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: with the open-source driver.
[15:09] <adamk> jdoles: You need the 32-bit version of the libgl1-mesa-dri package.
[15:09] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: the game is known to work on this machine, with this hardware and this kernel.
[15:09] <jdoles> adamk: yes, I said that already.
[15:10] <adamk> jdoles: So install it...
[15:10] <jdoles> adamk: the question is where to get those.
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> jdoles: could try in #winehq too
[15:10] <ActionParsnip> !find libgl1-mesa-dri
[15:10] <suigeneris> gorgeous. it is stuc
[15:10] <jdoles> ActionParsnip: this is a system problem.
[15:10] <suigeneris> k
[15:10] <jdoles> adamk: no 32 bits library to be seen there.
[15:11] <suigeneris> why the heck  isn't there a progress bar so that I can understand if it's stuck or not
[15:11] <suigeneris> it won't continue. just the spinning wheel
[15:11] <SonikkuAmerica> jdoles: No package libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 ?
[15:11] <adamk> jdoles: The package certainly exists...  apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386
[15:12] <p1l0t> So why is it my smbtree works but the network icon in the GUI comes up empty?
[15:12] <jdoles> SonikkuAmerica: installed it now.
[15:13] <jdoles> p1l0t: GUI tools generally are worse.
[15:13] <jdoles> p1l0t: perhaps you need to specify the domain somewhere.
[15:14] <samgabbay> Hi Guys Samgabbay here from the QATeam To Help :P
[15:15] <ActionParsnip> p1l0t: if you press ALT+F2 and type:  \\servername\sharename   do you see the files?
[15:16] <suigeneris> I have https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11918318/Video%2011.06.2013%2018%2012%2037.mov for the past 20 minutes\
[15:16] <bkfitz> Anyone know how to stop vncserver on 10.10
[15:16] <suigeneris> :S
[15:16] <samgabbay> bkfitz: what do you mean you have a ubuntu desktop sharingÉ
[15:16] <bkfitz> Didn't even know it was installed and now I'd like to stop it because it looks like Apache is listening on 80 AND 5900
[15:16] <bkfitz> previous sysadmin may have installed it
[15:16] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: maverick is not supported here anymore
[15:16] <bkfitz> 10.10 server hoseted
[15:17] <samgabbay> suigeneris: try redownloadinng the iso
[15:17] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: or anywhere at all
[15:17] <bkfitz> sorry 10.04
[15:17] <bkfitz> not 10.10
[15:17] <suigeneris> samgabbay: could it be a iso fault?
[15:17] <samgabbay> suigeneris: then remake a usb
[15:17] <samgabbay> suigeneris: possible
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> bkfitz: what is the output of: uname -a; cat /etc/issue
[15:18] <jsonperl> rsyslogd: any reason I would be spiking processors writing heavily to the syslog from mulitple processes?
[15:18] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: Yup :)
[15:18] <bkfitz> :) it's 10.04
[15:18] <bkfitz> Linux rcgeo 2.6.39.1-linode34 #1 SMP Tue Jun 21 10:29:24 EDT 2011 i686 GNU/Linux
[15:18] <bkfitz> Ubuntu 10.04.2 LTS \n \l
[15:18] <ActionParsnip> p1l0t: then add it to your bookmanrks for easy access, done :)
[15:19] <lasers> suigeneris: Yup. It's frozen. (See lack of blinking cursor). If you have ISO, run md5sum on it.
[15:19] <lasers> !hash | suigeneris
[15:19] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: Actually now they are there..
[15:19] <lasers> !hashes | suigeneris
[15:19] <samgabbay> !penis samgabbay
[15:19] <samgabbay> rofl
[15:19] <samgabbay> LOL ubottu
[15:19] <samgabbay> Sorry, I don't know anything about penis samgabbay
[15:20] <jdoles> adamk: that works, but now it crawls.
[15:20] <BluesKaj> odd sense of humour
[15:21] <suigeneris> lasers: if you mean a blinking cursor next to the location, I have it
[15:21] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: Everything works except my ubuntu server says can't retrieve share list or something. Rest of the network is visible though.
[15:21] <samgabbay> BluesKaj: heyyy
[15:21] <ActionParsnip> p1l0t: will the samba share always be available?
[15:21] <lasers> suigeneris: Tab works? Can you move around with tabs?
[15:21] <suigeneris> lasers: yes
[15:21] <suigeneris> lasers: I'm on it now
[15:22] <lasers> suigeneris: No mouse? You can't press Continue?
[15:22] <samgabbay> lasers: he cant it shows it on the video he binded
[15:22] <suigeneris> lasers: continue is disabled
[15:22] <p1l0t> ActionParsnip: I can get the share list from smbtree
[15:22] <samgabbay> suigeneris: try clicking another city
[15:22] <samgabbay> suigeneris: like anywere on the map
[15:22] <suigeneris> samgabbay: tried that
[15:22] <lasers> suigeneris: Try typing something else. Istanbul isn't enough, I think.
[15:23] <samgabbay> suigeneris: did you try rebooting
[15:23] <lasers> suigeneris: Type Chica<tab>
[15:23] <suigeneris> samgabbay: a few times, yeah
[15:23] <samgabbay> suigeneris: try what laser said and check if it succeds
[15:23] <suigeneris> it doesn't :S
[15:24] <lasers> suigeneris: You have bad luck today. :|
[15:24] <bkfitz> ActionParsnip: so any advice?
[15:24] <samgabbay> suigeneris: redownload the iso
[15:24] <samgabbay> suigeneris: and remake a usb
[15:24] <bkfitz> Didn't even know it was installed and now I'd like to stop it because it looks like Apache is listening on 80 AND 5900
[15:24] <samgabbay> suigeneris: what os do you have currently
[15:24] <suigeneris> lasers: yeah, first nvidia, now this
[15:24] <suigeneris> samgabbay: ubuntu
[15:25] <samgabbay> suigeneris: any other os
[15:25] <suigeneris> samgabbay: no
[15:25] <samgabbay> suigeneris: alright so ur saying you dont have any other oses installed and is this an upgrade
[15:25] <samgabbay> lasers: il handle this :P
[15:26] <lasers> suigeneris: Run md5sum (at least!) See if the numbers match up then your ISO is good.
[15:26] <lasers> samgabbay: Oops!
[15:26] <samgabbay> lasers: huh????
[15:27] <samgabbay> lasers: 0.o
[15:28] <samgabbay> suigeneris: are you trying to upgrade a current ubuntu installation or the harddrive simply does not have an os on it yet
[15:28] <EDocToor> Ubuntu Servers Boot up question: When the server boots up a page of information flys by and one is a notice that my FQDN isn't set and using 127.0.0.1 ; Is there a way to tell my Ubuntu Server that my FQDN is edoc.icyourrc.com
[15:29] <EDocToor> I tried yelling at it... trust me that don't work
[15:32] <SonikkuAmerica> EDocToor: Perhaps soft coaxing will. :) Have you asked in #ubuntu-server ?
[15:33] <e_t_> EDocToor: You'll need to edit /etc/hosts and set your server's primary IP to the hostname.
[15:33] <samgabbay> well......
[15:34] <EDocToor> SonikkuAmerica, YOU ARE SO AWESOME... THANKS
[15:34] <SonikkuAmerica> EDocToor: yw :)
[15:35]  * SonikkuAmerica thinks about !u 'ing himself.
[15:37] <EDocToor> e_t_, YOUR AWESOME TOO... THANK YOU have a great day everyone and thanks.. I can not tell you how much the FQDN has confused me... it is just one of those things... I guess; did I say thanks... ;-)
[15:37] <arne__> Hmm... looks like there are multiple versions of ddrescue
[15:37] <SiPlus> Hi
[15:37] <Nishok> Hello everyone, I am having issues starting my MySQL server after I have restarted my VDS, here is a screenshot of the SSH: http://therealnishok.com/screensnapr/2013-06-11_1730.png Does anyone have any idea? I am running Ubuntu 12-04.
[15:37] <SiPlus> I have a problem
[15:37] <SiPlus> I tried to install Ubuntu today
[15:37] <samgabbay> we should have a diffferent channel for ubuntu serve
[15:38] <SiPlus> I burned the ISO to a DVD and a USB flash drive
[15:38] <SiPlus> But when I launch the live DVD, I get the GRUB 2 menu
[15:38] <SiPlus> Whatever I select in it, I get empty black screen forever
[15:38] <SiPlus> I can't try the OS, I can't install it, I can't check the disc
[15:38] <SiPlus> If I switch to BIOS mode, I get simply flashing underscore
[15:39] <arne__> And with the USB?
[15:39] <SiPlus> Both
[15:39] <SiPlus> I tried to prepend "nomodeset" to "quiet splash"
[15:39] <SiPlus> I tried to replace "quiet splash" with it
[15:39] <SiPlus> Nothing helped
[15:39] <SiPlus> Also there is no F6 menu
[15:39] <SiPlus> There is GRUB 2 menu, not the centered purple menu with Ubuntu logo
[15:40] <e_t_> Nishok: You will want to look at the mysql error log. The Upstart messages in your picture won't tell you anything.
[15:40] <SonikkuAmerica> SiPlus: Is there a boot menu in your computer's POST messages or OEM splash?
[15:40] <SiPlus> SonikkuAmerica, I tried to enable and disable it
[15:40] <SonikkuAmerica> samgabbay: There is - #ubuntu-server
[15:40] <SiPlus> I tried both Secure Boot on and off
[15:41] <Nishok> e_t_: The /var/log/mysql.err is empty, same with /var/log/mysql.log
[15:41] <SiPlus> I can select the boot drive (by pressing F9 during the logo/POST, I have an HP computer), and I can see the GRUB menu
[15:41] <SiPlus> But I can't get past it
[15:41] <tacomaster> With out trying to cause a application war does anyone know a better app for connecting to exchange server than davmail. I have tried the evolution mapi pack and have had nothing but problems with it.
[15:42] <SiPlus> I can open a console-like thing with C button
[15:42] <SonikkuAmerica> SiPlus: What program did you use to send the ISO to your live media?
[15:42] <SiPlus> SonikkuAmerica, for DVD, Windows 8 Explorer, for USB, UNetBootin
[15:42] <e_t_> Nishok: What about /var/log/mysql/error.log ?
[15:43] <BluesKaj> SiPlus, how did you manage to install grub on the dvd ?
[15:43] <SiPlus> BluesKaj, I just burned the 13.04 AMD64 ISO
[15:43] <SiPlus> Same thing for 12.04
[15:43] <Nishok> e_t_: cat: /var/log/mysql/error.log: No such file or directory
[15:43] <BluesKaj> strange
[15:44] <arne__> I had problems installing 12.04, had to use 12.10 instead, on this HP laptop
[15:44] <samgabbay> BluesKaj: hey
[15:44] <BluesKaj> hi samgabbay
[15:44] <e_t_> Nishok: are you root? The directory's not traversable by regular users.
[15:44] <samgabbay> BluesKaj: how are ya :P
[15:44] <SiPlus> Maybe I'll make a photo of the selector
[15:44]  * SiPlus is switching to AndChat
[15:44] <Nishok> e_t_: I am root, indeed
[15:44] <jdoles> So, nobody an idea why I get extremely slow 3d wine performance? All other 3d is fast.
[15:45] <SiPlus> Back
[15:45] <BluesKaj> samgabbay, fine thanks
[15:45] <tacomaster> jdoles: because its probably using directx
[15:46] <tacomaster> jdoles: what card do you have?
[15:46] <SiPlus> Restarting
[15:47] <SiPlus> Wait a minute
[15:47] <adamk> jdoles: Run the wine app from a terminal, and set the LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose environmental variable.
[15:49] <SiPlus> Here's the menu: http://imgur.com/ptqvd2f.jpg
[15:50] <e_t_> Nishok: touch /var/log/mysql/error.log, then chmod it 640 and chown it mysql:adm. After the file exists, try to restart mysql again.
[15:50] <SiPlus> I press "try", I get black screen
[15:52] <SiPlus> Tried to make flash drive the first boot device
[15:52] <SiPlus> The same thing, just with lower screen resolution
[15:52] <SiPlus> Alt+F1-Alt+F4 don't work

[15:53] <e_t_> Nishok: Of course, but since the mysql error log exists, it should now have something in it.

[15:59] <arne__> Hmm, I have a 40gig HDD unformatted... I need to create a single tiny affs partition on it... where's this done best?

[16:00] <Zappierchris> Hi, I was here yesterday trying to get help because my desktop PC has both Ubuntu and Windows XP on, but the UBUNTU option isn't working, and I can't change it to windows
[16:02] <daftykins> Zappierchris: what do you mean 'change' it to windows?
[16:02] <Zappierchris> daftykins: I mean boot into windows, sorry
[16:03] <daftykins> Zappierchris: hmm, that could be pretty painful to diagnose. your best bet might be to boot a LiveCD and backup any data you need from both Windows + Ubuntu first - if you have the means to do that? (like a second hard disk / external one)
[16:03] <Zappierchris> daftykins: I can't select any other boot option though, as the problem here is that the PC doesn't seem to load anything usb
[16:03] <daftykins> Zappierchris: CDs aren't an option?
[16:04] <Zappierchris> daftykins: I have a few blank ones
[16:04] <daftykins> Zappierchris: it depends what level of risk you're happy to take then, i'd write a LiveCD and use that to backup all data - if you're not too fussed, you could try: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair
[16:05] <genii> arne__: Ubuntu doesn't seem to have affs support ( mkfs.affs doesn't exist when searched for on packages.ubuntu.com for instance ). You may need to do it by physically plugging it into the Amiga and formatting it there
[16:05]  * genii jabs at LjL 
[16:05] <Zappierchris> daftykins: Okay, I've got no important data on it
[16:05] <arne__> genii>  really? But the internet said Ubuntu Supported Amiga HardDrives... there are several formats though
[16:06] <Zappierchris> daftykins: How would I get into boot repair, if I can't control the boot selection, and my Ubuntu isn't working
[16:06] <genii> arne__: I'm trying to get the resident Amiga expert to perhaps assist further (LjL)
[16:06] <arne__> genii > e uae can format it though. (Amiga emulator)
[16:06] <daftykins> Zappierchris: because you'd also write a CD of that? :)
[16:07] <arne__> genii> E UAE can be given physical access to drives, afaik
[16:07] <Zappierchris> daftykins: Well, just another quick question, Could I boot into windows from Grub
[16:07] <Zappierchris> daftykins: I think thats whats showing
[16:08] <thunder1212> my mobile broadband doesnt auto connect. am using ubuntu 1204
[16:08] <thunder1212> what should i do?
[16:08] <daftykins> Zappierchris: i'm assuming you've held down left shift on startup to get a boot menu, or maybe you get one already and the cursor keys aren't working to change menu option?

[16:09] <thunder1212> earlieer when i used to use ubuntu and insertd my usb dongle it woul auto connect to internet and i did not have to dial everytime
[16:09] <thunder1212> but now this does not happen?
[16:09] <wicope> hi. i,m looking: GUI tests (in java fest), unit testing(in java junit), coverage tests for bash(in java emma), unimplemented code(in java mockito) but i need it for bash, any help appreciated, thanks
[16:09] <thunder1212> i go to the network manager and in the edit connection settigns i have assigned auto connect but still nothing happes
[16:10] <Zappierchris> daftykins: As ubuntu is set as the default, the pc boots into it, but I get the GNU grub menu instead of Ubuntu ( but I can type on this unlike the boot selection screen

[16:12] <johnjohn1011> it's annoying
[16:12] <daftykins> Zappierchris: i'm really not sure what you're seeing. holding shift at boot should give a menu you can pick Windows from

[16:13] <thunder1212> Hi
[16:13] <SunSparc> Is there an AWS/Ubuntu specific IRC channel?
[16:13] <sergey_> How are you today?
[16:14] <thunder1212> HI
[16:14] <Zappierchris> daftykins: well, I can't, as i'm in some kind of command line thing, at the top of the screen it says "GNU GRUB version 1.99"
[16:14] <thunder1212> auto connect mobile broadband
[16:15] <thunder1212> anyone has any idea how i can resolve auto connect to my mobile broadband
[16:15] <ActionParsnip> thunder1212: add the command to connect it to your startup items
[16:15] <pbase> Zappierchris: login to ubuntu a\nd do and update-grub as the root
[16:15] <Fuzzles> if im using a usb use to back up my data safe whats the best format to use keep as fat32?
[16:16] <Zappierchris> pbase: Just to clarify, I can't get into ubuntu, its set as the default, but when the pc boots into it, I see the GNU grub screen
[16:16] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip: its not related with startups, when i plugin the usb dongle it shoul auto connect
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> thunder1212: ahh, they you will need a udev rulle
[16:16] <ActionParsnip> *rule
[16:17] <thunder1212> ActionParsnip: but earlier it used to connect automatically

[16:20] <ActionParsnip> thunder1212: easy stuff. All I did was search the web
[16:20] <daftykins> Zappierchris: what did you do to get that?
[16:20] <ActionParsnip> thunder1212: searched for: ubuntu run command on usb insert
[16:20] <Zappierchris> daftykins: I rebooted so I could get to the OS selection screen, but the problem before was the PC wasn't letting me use a usb or a PS2 keyboard, but it just worked

[17:03] <garrettkajmowicz> Greetings! I updated my server from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS this weekend. Now the default kernel drops me to busybox on boot. Booting an old kernel still works. Root device is a RAID1 md device. From busybox shell it mounts without a problem. Any suggestions?

[17:16] <daryl_> hello :D
[17:16] <daryl_> is there anyone here?
[17:16] <Multiply> Is there a way to get a specific users envrionment variables, instead of the current user?
[17:17] <skuft> Multiply, for what
[17:18] <Multiply> It's kind of a node specific problem, where I spawn a process, with a specific uid, gid, and cwd, it takes the envrionment variables from the parent process, instead of the user, so stuff like $HOME and so on, are bad.
[17:19] <roasted> I'm trying to get my touchpad to work without enraging me. I enabled "disable while typing" but it's obvious this feature does absolutely nothing whatsoever. I also enabled it via synclient in the terminal, but it also did nothing. Is there a way with synclient to say the touchpad is disabled for 1 second when keys are struck?
[17:19] <Multiply> skuft, so I thought of loading the variables in the start of the script, and pass them on, later when spawning processes.
[17:19] <skuft> Multiply, sounds like a good plan.
[17:19] <Multiply> Yet, how do I do it?
[17:20] <xmfs> hi
[17:20] <tgm4883> Multiply, I believe you could just "export HOME=<path here>"
[17:20] <skuft> hi
[17:21] <Multiply> tgm4883, but I'd like to have _all_ user variables, for the given uid
[17:21] <Multiply> Also, if root has special variables, the processes will be able to see these.
[17:21] <Multiply> Not that I think it's a great security issue, it's still there.
[17:22] <tgm4883> Multiply, I guess I don't understand
[17:22] <tgm4883> Multiply, you are running the script as a different user, and the variables such as HOME are wrong?
[17:22] <tgm4883> Multiply, why are they wrong?
[17:23] <Multiply> tgm4883, process A (run from root) starts process B (run from other user and group), but has the variables of root.
[17:23] <Multiply> It's a huge problem.
[17:23] <tgm4883> Multiply, sounds like process A should switch users before running process B
[17:23] <tgm4883> Multiply, but we're talking really generic stuff here
[17:24] <Multiply> tgm4883, reason it's run from root, is because it needs to listen on port 80 :P
[17:24] <Multiply> Else I'd just run it as the actual user.
[17:24] <tgm4883> Multiply, uh, a user process can listen on port 80
[17:25] <Multiply> tgm4883, then I still need to fix the issue for mac users.
[17:25] <Multiply> Actually, I might just skip mac support for now anyway.
[17:26] <tgm4883> hmm
[17:26] <Multiply> It's still an issue, if I want different user support tho.
[17:26] <sharadM> hey all. anybody here using bigbluebutton on ubuntu?.
[17:26] <Multiply> If not all projects are run from the same user.
[17:26] <tgm4883> Multiply, I'm not 100% sure what you are trying to do, but I'm fairly certain that you are doing it wrong
[17:27] <tgm4883> Multiply, so the Process A runs as root, and that spawns off other processes that need to be run as specific users?
[17:27] <Multiply> tgm4883, yes.
[17:28] <Multiply> And if the other processes executes, say "whoami" it shows the correct user. Yet $HOME is /root
[17:28] <tgm4883> Multiply, so why can't process A just start process B as the specific user?
[17:28] <tgm4883> hmm
[17:28] <Multiply> I guess it's a node-specific problem, as I mentioned earlier. I was merely looking for a simple fix.
[17:28] <tgm4883> how are you spawning process B?
[17:29] <Multiply> Using node's API for doing such. :P
[17:29] <Multiply> but then it gets to be a node issue.
[17:29] <tgm4883> ah, node is a piece of software
[17:29] <tgm4883> a terrible name IMO
[17:30] <Multiply> tgm4883, so is Apple. :P
[17:32] <tgm4883> Multiply, true, but less of a bad name than node
[17:33] <tgm4883> Multiply, at least Apple, doesn't mean other things in the computing world
[17:33] <rti^> I spent all day yesterday trying to get this puppy installed, and finally got it done this morning. I'm certain I broke 10 other things in the process though.
[17:33] <Multiply> tgm4883, there are plenty bad names, if you want to use computing related as a topic ;) It was merely a bad example.
[17:33] <khyra> I have a domain and a VPS running ubuntu. Can I set up an email account of mine on some address like my_name@my_domain.com ?
[17:33] <tgm4883> Multiply, I agree with that

[17:50] <xangua> Pablo01: you can find lots of themes in gnome-look.org
[17:52] <sampath> hi
[17:52] <xangua> !eol | jeff_m did you already read the part about old-releases.ubuntu.com
[17:53] <jeff_m> no, I didn't know about old-releases

[17:56] <rti^> is windows 8 the reason I can't get Ubuntu to boot by default? I'm trying to research it and this is the answer I'm coming up with the most.
[17:56] <sandeepr> to a physical server a 512gb lun is presented. this lun will be used a storage for vm's created via virt-manager.

[17:59] <Antar> hi i want to install Xubuntu in a low graphics and just some apps
[17:59] <Antar> what can i do please
[17:59] <Tking> please does anyone know how i can resize hard drive? i need one more partition to store files i already have gparted but cant see resize
[17:59] <rypervenche> Tking: What kind of partition is it?
[17:59] <rti^> Thank you wilee-nilee still trying to learn what the IRC commands are as well.
[17:59] <wilee-nilee> Tking, Partition has to be unmounted to resize, a live cd will do it easily.
[17:59] <Antar> please
[18:00] <sandeepr> when the same lun is selected as the storage for the second vm, it says disk is already in use by another system
[18:00] <rypervenche> Tking: And are you looking to shrink or expand the partition?
[18:00] <Pici> Antar: did you see the messages from ubottu?
[18:00] <Tking> rypervenche, am looking to shrink
[18:01] <Antar> where ??
[18:01] <dhci> i have one of those standard usb card readers (3.5" accessory) but the slot marked micro sd is taking a micro sd card kind of slanted, without good contact.
[18:01] <wilee-nilee> rti^, The way W8 os set up is a bit different than the past, the ubuntu install is a little different, that link is commonly used. The ubuntu forums though has the best help on dualbooting these.
[18:01] <dhci> i thought i might have to insert the card upside down but that isn't helping either
[18:02] <Antar> Pici where
[18:02] <bgardner> Antar: See: http://xubuntu.org/getxubuntu/
[18:02] <Pici> Antar: Here.
[18:02] <clcto> Tking: certain filesystem types do not allow shrinking, what type of filesystem is it
[18:02] <KaZeR> Hey there. I'm setting up some preseeds, but the hostname/domain/ip settings are not applied correctly
[18:02] <Antar> Pici go on
[18:03] <dhci> interestingly the usb pins seems to correspond to micro sd layout making the adapter so prevalent
[18:03] <Pici> Antar: Have you tried using the Xubuntu install disc?
[18:03] <Antar> yeah
[18:03] <dhci> i was thinking also the regular sd slot might not work if the micro sd slot is overlapping it, it hought they might appear independently as file systems
[18:04] <Pici> Antar: And?
[18:05] <Antar> Pici : infact it is simillar to ubuntu

[18:20] <Mage_Dude> I've installed Ubuntu MAAS and have the correct PXE boot almost there. I get error T01 (file not found) which makes sense because there's no tftp server running, but maas-cluster-controller is supposed to handle that isn't it?
[18:21] <ghoti> I have a deployment question that I'm sure someone will have a quick answer to.  Not sure where to ask, so pls excuse me if this is slightly off-topic. :)
[18:21] <ghoti> I've got about 60MB of assets (JPG, MP3, etc) associated with a software project that gets updated a few times per month.  Because the assets may change with the software, we redeploy versioned assets with each release.
[18:21] <tinjaw> How do I determine why apt/aptitude shows different dependencies than http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/net/tgt
[18:21] <ghoti> To streamline the deploy process, I'm thinking I'd like to do something like (1) copy the old asset directory to a new location (or perhaps duplicate the tree and hardlink the files), then (2) rsync -overtop of any files that have changed, unlinking things that are removed, and unlinking files to upload before copying in the new files.
[18:21] <ghoti> Is this a good strategy?  Is there a better one?  Are there tools that help handle this, or is it basically a roll-your-own kind of thing?
[18:25] <vicks> hi, can i install windows xp on my ubuntu12 desktop pc
[18:26] <clcto> vicks: should be able to
[18:26] <tacomaster> vicks: you can have i think 4 primary partitions on a sata
[18:26] <genii> vicks: Just remember later to reinstall grub
[18:26] <genii> !mbr
[18:26] <Hans11> Created a new subdomain but session id allways change when I refresh pag
[18:27] <clcto> tacomaster: that doesnt really matter because you can put windows on a logical partition
[18:27] <Lerg> Hello all. I have a problem - need to upgrade from maverick, but repos are down for natty. What to do?
[18:27] <clcto> oh i guess the system partition has to be primary though
[18:27] <sere> vicks: you wont be able to boot into ubuntu so you will need a cd or usb to boot from and update the grub install
[18:27] <tacomaster> clcto:  :D learn something new every day!!! i learn so much from these irc channels.
[18:28] <clcto> tacomaster: idk exactly how it will work with grub, so maybe that won't matter about the system partition
[18:28] <genii> Lerg: See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades
[18:29] <Lerg> genii: thanks
[18:29] <genii> Lerg: You're welcome
[18:29] <tacomaster> clcto: don't know how what will work with grub? you can just chroot in to the sata drive and just grub-update
[18:30] <genii> Lerg: They haven't added the latest EOL releases to that page, but the process is the same
[18:30] <chaudhary> Ubuntu 13.04 is a stable version ?
[18:31] <clcto> i mean, apparently the "system reserved" partition needs to be primary, but that may not be true with grub
[18:31] <clcto> as grub will be the active partition, but anyway i just usually do /boot / and windows primary, /home and shared on logical partitions
[18:31] <BluesKaj> cian1500ww, system reserved is probly the windows recovery partition
[18:32] <clcto> BluesKaj: no
[18:32] <sere> i hate the way windows use that system reserved..
[18:33] <clcto> it holds the boot code. you dont need it unless you use encryption for your whole drive
[18:33] <genii> chaudhary: Yes. But now the support cycle for releases in between the LTS releases is shortened. So 13.04 and 13.10  will only be supported 9 months, then 14.04 will be the next long term support version
[18:33] <tacomaster> clcto: yea i do too because if i make them primary i always end up having to do some dumb stuff to get stuff installed like putting it in home dir for the data and just symlink. so much of a hassle, i love using lvm :D
[18:33] <BluesKaj> clcto, no ?  then what is it ?
[18:33] <tacomaster> clcto: i always don't put enough space in one place to too much in another
[18:33] <clcto> what i said right after
[18:33] <cuddylier> Why when I try to resume a screen that is in screen -list it opens a new screen, why?
[18:34] <sere> clcto: i thought windows wouldnt boot without it?.. makes much harder to do a triple boot with it :x
[18:34] <chaudhary> genii: how long is the support for 12.10?
[18:34] <cuddylier> I'm using screen -R [name] to resume
[18:34] <genii> chaudhary: eg: So you may want instead to stay with 12.10 because it's still 18 months support
[18:34] <wilee-nilee> genii, 13.04 has 5 yeras support for the desktop install
[18:34] <clcto> sere: you cant just get rid of it, but you can install windows to an ntfs partition that is already created, and it wont create one
[18:34] <genii> wilee-nilee: No, it doesn't. 14.04 will
[18:35] <wilee-nilee> genii, You are misinformed.
[18:35] <chaudhary> genii: I've 12.04 and i'm upgrading to 12.10 right now.
[18:35] <genii> wilee-nilee: Desktop used to be 3, server 5, they unified LTS for 5 all round. But 13.04 is not LTS
[18:35] <wilee-nilee> genii, Ah I was thinkng 12.04 my bad, sorry.
[18:35] <sere> clcto: good to know ty.. only wish i knew that a long time ago
[18:36] <wilee-nilee> not enough caffeine yet.
[18:36] <Lerg> genii: hm, I am getting rror while loading shared libraries: libapt-pkg-libc6.10-6.so.4.8: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory   when running apt
[18:36] <dsathe> hey quick query
[18:36] <dsathe> i have a network card working on dhcp
[18:36] <dsathe> i want to make it static
[18:36] <clcto> sere: but if you use windows bitlocker encryption, it needs the system reserved to unencrypt the windows partition
[18:37] <dsathe> the at requires me to get the network and gateway address
[18:37] <dsathe> where can i find that
[18:37] <clcto> !enter
[18:37] <deke111> anyone know how much longer 12.04 will be supported for?
[18:37] <genii> Lerg: No idea on that one, sorry
[18:37] <ThothCastel> I just installed ubuntu server and want to create a domain so that I can join multiple ubuntu desktops o tit
[18:37] <ThothCastel> to it
[18:37] <zetheroo> I was just mucking around on my machine with some basic linux commands and something occurred which I thought a bit odd - I logged into the terminal as root and created a directory in my users directory called 'testing', then I exited root and was back to my user account. I performed an 'rmdir' command on the directory user root had created and it was deleted. How is this possible when that directory was owned by user+group root and on
[18:37] <ThothCastel> how can I go about to get that installed?
[18:38] <BluesKaj> envrypting a HDD  is mostly a pita ...it's better to encrypt files ..gives alot mote flexibility
[18:38]  * genii slides wilee-nilee a coffee and then goes to do some work
[18:38] <clcto> ThothCastel: like LDAP?
[18:38] <Daemoen> hey guys
[18:38] <Daemoen> ( and gals )
[18:38] <Daemoen> so looking for a *trustworthy* ubuntu ppa that provides collectd 5.3
[18:39] <Daemoen> I have found a bunch of different ppas, but was hoping that at least one of them would be by a "trusted" packager so to speak
[18:39] <ThothCastel> clcto: I think so...  like in windows it would be an active directory to manage users and groupds ....etc
[18:40] <kostkon> deke111, april 2017
[18:40] <clcto> ThothCastel: ive never set one up, but there should be some LDAP info on the ubuntu wiki or something.
[18:40] <wilee-nilee> Daemoen, PPA's are classified as extra and not stable, however I have never had problems, one has to be aware of what they are attached to in apps and releases.
[18:41] <ThothCastel> thanks but is LDAP really what I am searching for?
[18:41] <ThothCastel> clcto:
[18:41] <Daemoen> wilee-nilee: * nods *  Its like the extra repos we have for CentOS, but sometimes those of us that contribute to the extras are also main channel packagers, so we have a bit more experience with the distro.  was kinda hoping for a similar case :)
[18:42] <cuddylier> Why when I try to resume a screen that is in screen -list via screen -R [name] it opens a new screen instead...
[18:42] <clcto> ThothCastel: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/OpenLDAP this might help. some of the information is archlinux specific some isnt. and here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lightweight_Directory_Access_Protocol
[18:42] <deke111> thanks kostkon
[18:42] <genii> Daemoen: Just check out the maintainer's memberships to see if they belong to some official groups working on same/similar stuff as whats in their PPA
[18:42] <ThothCastel> clcto: many tahnks
[18:42] <bgardner> zetheroo: Doubtful that this went down exactly as described - repeat the experiment and grab screenshots for paste.ubuntu.com as you go and we'll help you.
[18:43] <zetheroo> bgardner: will do
[18:43] <mfaroukg> my ubuntu 13.04 not updating the software , what can I do?
[18:43] <cuddylier> Why when I try to resume a screen that is in screen -list via screen -R [name] it opens a new screen? I've tried using the process ID as the name, no luck.
[18:43] <clcto> ThothCastel: idk exactly what you are looking for, dont really know much about sharing users/groups across multiple devices, but it probably will entail LDAP to mount the home directories
[18:44] <wilee-nilee> mfaroukg, Can you run sudo apt-get update and pastebin all the text made.
[18:44] <zetheroo> bgardner: I am being told the following "the user owned the directory that testing was in, so the user has permission to delete anything from the dir he owns. even if the thing isn't owned by him"
[18:45] <mfaroukg> http://pastebin.com/p3gQvdV5
[18:45] <bgardner> zetheroo: Understood, sounds like you have your answer (which I won't argue with).

[18:47] <zetheroo> bgardner: ok
[18:49] <kedidie> Hi I was wondering if you could install a virtual machine onto ubuntu server (no gui) and still watch the gui of your vm (google didn't help me) and if so could you point me to a tut or what I should ask google?
[18:50] <bgardner> kedidie: Depends on your virtualization solution, but yes, you can do that.  Look for "headless VM".
[18:50] <kedidie> thanks
[18:51] <wilee-nilee> mfaroukg, You have a mess there for sure, you have good hits and errors, and gpg key problems, one of which references lucid.
[18:52] <kedidie> @bgardner: I'm not looking for remote, I want to use the hosts video card vga, any suggestions
[18:53] <mfaroukg> wilee-nilee, I want to keep updated, i tried to reset all to default but still seems like doing the same thing every time
[18:54] <bgardner> kedidie: I'd say you can't do that, no.  You need a GUI on the host to supply a drawing context for the VM.
[18:54] <kedidie> ok thanks I was afraid of that
[18:55] <ThothCastel> how can I scroll up on ubuntu server command line?
[18:55] <ThothCastel> I dont have a gui installed

[18:56] <goaw_> can anybody help me with figuring out why my apache2 server isn't running my php scripts correctly?

[18:56] <goaw_> I have my apache error.log
[18:57] <genii> ThothCastel: You're welcome
[18:57] <wilee-nilee> mfaroukg, You have a  some ppa's you can't just reset that, you have to make sure the address to it is correct in the sources.list or sources.list.d, same with the regular repo address, here is a list generator to fix some, be careful.  http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/   What you have to do is look at the errors in that update and the sources lista nd confirm addresses gpag keys if needed and if the pp

[18:59] <chas> It's a 12.04 install
[19:00] <wilee-nilee> chas, From the software center?
[19:00] <chas> we have an image on disk, on USB key and a net install

[19:11] <ThothCastel> why?
[19:11] <pixolin> Hello. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 on a Netbook and for some reason the taskbar at the bottom doesn't show running applications. Someone with an idea how to get that back working, please?
[19:12] <ThothCastel> is there a way to delete user and home folder at once?
[19:12] <bgardner> ThothCastel: You want the -r option
[19:12] <cuddylier> Why when I try to resume a screen that is in screen -list via screen -R [name] it opens a new screen? I've tried using the process ID as the name, no luck.
[19:13] <ThothCastel> bgardner: thanks. And how about the user that I already deleted but home directory still exists?
[19:13] <Pici> bleb: you can use update-alternatives to change the 'association', sudo update-alternatives --config vi   -- but it was probably vim.tiny that you were using, not vi
[19:13] <ThothCastel> if I delete the directory will it cause me any problem?

[19:16] <kostas_> hi guys, I was wondering if anyone can help out with this: trying to install ubuntu 12.4 on a machine running 8.10. I created a usb start disk and then set the bios to boot from the usb. Didn't work, it still boots to 8.10. Any ideas?
[19:16] <trism> roasted: seems you can go as low as 8 before it ignores you
[19:17] <Pici> bleb: I'm not aware of a separate package, but there are some arguments to vim that might make it act more like vi.
[19:18] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, IF the usb is loaded correctly and the iso was good, you can use the per-seesion boot menu with a key prompts at powering on, like you would to reach the  bios. My key is f2 yours may be different.
[19:19] <bradley___> hello?
[19:20] <bleb> Pici: ok thanks
[19:23] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: thanks, I tried with two different usb sticks, but both used the same iso. I might try redownloading the iso and try again. About the per-session boot menu, do you mean going back to the bios setting with F2 (that's what gets me to bios) and booting it from there?
[19:24] <arne__> if I run ddrescue with dev/sdb imagefile logfile as args, where does the imagefile end up? root of something?
[19:24] <devslash> if ibe got 8gb ram is 2gb swap a good amount ?
[19:24] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Sorry I meant f12, there is a a boot menu outside th bios as well this is what I mean.
[19:25] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: ah thanks, I'll try that then!
[19:25] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Personally I always just use it and not change the bios.
[19:26] <vith> arne__: i think you mean /dev/sdb not dev/sdb, but anyway imagefile would be a file in the current directory
[19:30] <arne__> vith> Current directory? So... my home or something?
[19:31] <arooni-mobile> trying to get pomodoroapp running on ubuntu; but its crashing out with this error: "Couldn't load file:/home/david/downloads/PomodoroApp/runtime/1.3.1-beta/libtide.so, error: libenchant.so.1: wrong ELF class: ELFCLASS64"

[19:31] <arooni-mobile> Guest72281, 64bit
[19:33] <adamk> arooni-mobile: Is the executable 32-bit or 64-bit?
[19:33] <arooni-mobile> adamk, not sure how can i check
[19:33] <genii> adamk: That error indicates the binary is 64bit
[19:33] <genii> arooni-mobile: file filename
[19:33] <arooni-mobile> ok it says its 64bit herE: http://www.pomodoroapp.com/downloads/
[19:34] <genii> arooni-mobile: What says also result of: uname -m
[19:34] <adamk> genii: No, it indicates the binary is trying to load a 64-bit library...  And failing.

[19:35] <arooni-mobile> you mean like this: "LilArooni ~/downloads/PomodoroApp: uname -m PomodoroApp "

[19:37] <bgardner> bepof: Go ahead with your question.
[19:37] <adamk> arooni-mobile: Run 'file ~/downloads/PomodoroApp'
[19:37] <adamk> arooni-mobile: Assuming, of course, that's where the binary is located.
[19:37] <arooni-mobile> a ha!
[19:37] <arooni-mobile> PomodoroApp: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked (uses shared libs), for GNU/Linux 2.6.24, BuildID[sha1]=0xfabc0ee7bc3cb64ce86b150dbf9108dbd4f7d4da, not stripped
[19:37] <arooni-mobile> it says its a 64 bit executable on the website
[19:37] <arooni-mobile> lies!
[19:38] <adamk> Right, so you are running a 32-bit binary on a 64-bit system, and the libraries it needs on your system are 64-bit.
[19:38] <adamk> arooni-mobile: Not lies, you downloaded the wrong one.
[19:38] <Fishscene> Greetings. I have a USB video-encoder device that shows up on Ubuntu under /dev/video[0,1]. When I want to tap into it, I need to use Sudo priviledges. Is there a way to NOT require elevated priviledges to access this device? I've tried CHMOD 777, but as soon as the server boots, or the video encoder is re-plugged in, the permissions reset.
[19:38] <adamk> arooni-mobile: I just downloaded the 64-bit version, and have a 64-bit binary.  You did something wrong.
[19:38] <pythonirc1011> I'm getting bad file descriptor errors on my machine. How can I check my disk?
[19:38] <adamk> Fishscene: Add yourself to the video group.
[19:39] <Fishscene> adamk: Holy cow that sounds easy. I'll look into that!
[19:39] <Fishscene> Thanks!
[19:39] <arooni-mobile> adamk, thanks
[19:40] <arooni-mobile> whats the best way of blocking time wasting sites during work hours on ubuntu 13.04?
[19:40] <bekks> arooni-mobile: Pulling the cable? Setting up a proxy server?
[19:40] <overdub> arooni-mobile, don't go to them?
[19:40] <arooni-mobile> haha i want something that redirects those sites to 1.1.1.1
[19:40] <Fishscene> arooni-mobile: If it's for multiple users, I recommend using a webfilter.
[19:40] <arooni-mobile> until im better at self discipline
[19:40] <bekks> arooni-mobile: A proxy server.
[19:40] <arooni-mobile> its just for me
[19:40] <arooni-mobile> im the only user of my computer
[19:41] <adamk> Self discipline...
[19:41] <adamk> If you can block them, you can unblock them...  So what's the point?

[19:41] <dolam> the left click*
[19:42] <arooni-mobile> adamk, i guess the point is if i have them off by default and it takes work to turn them back on
[19:42] <arooni-mobile> it will serve as a bit of a chck and balance

[19:48] <tacomaster> i know this is not supported for ubuntu but where can i ask a question about the cinnamon screensaver?
[19:48] <fendur> my console (i.e. when pressing ctrl+alt+f1-f6) is not readable. the screen is mostly white and some partial black characters that can't be read where'd you'd expect to see characters (i.e. login:, the bash prompt, file names after an "ls"). I can login, but only because I know what _should_ be on the screen at the time. Any ideas?
[19:49] <arne__> the drive just spins, then goes brtbrtbrtbrtbrtbrt and spins and then repeats

[19:52] <devslash> how do i verify that ubuntu detects my wireless card ?
[19:53] <Fyodorovna> devslash, run lspci in the terminal and look for the wireless info and post it.
[19:53] <devslash> yea its showing it
[19:53] <bekks> devslash: lspci -k
[19:54] <bekks> devslash: If it shows a module loaded, then it is working, basically.
[19:54] <devslash> lspci shows it
[19:54] <adamk> devslash: Bring up a terminal and run 'iwconfig'.  See if any of your networking devices support wireless extensions.
[19:54] <devslash> nope
[19:54] <devslash> its showing eth0 no wireless extensions
[19:55] <adamk> Pastebin the output of 'lspci' and 'dmesg'.

[20:03] <EmiF-> How to open .DAT files?
[20:03] <bekks> EmiF-: Depends on the data inside. File extensions are meaningless.
[20:03] <EmiF-> I have submitted an application and had the option to download it, but its saving as DAT files. And the site says its a pdf file.
[20:03] <devslash> ubottu is there a way to download a package to my computer
[20:03] <devslash> oops
[20:04] <devslash> wilee-nilee that was for you
[20:04] <EmiF-> bekks: its an application from US immigration website.
[20:04] <bekks> EmiF-: Then run "file filename.dat" and tell us whats the output.
[20:05] <devslash> is there a way to download a package to my computer so i can copy it to ubuntu via usb ? networking doesnt work
[20:06] <EmiF-> bekks: /home/emi/Downloads/CEACAA003B40X0.dat: ASCII text, with very long lines, with no line terminators
[20:06] <bekks> EmiF-: Thats not pdf content.
[20:06] <EmiF-> well.
[20:06] <EmiF-> the site gave me an option to 'download application as file'
[20:07] <EmiF-> i clicked on it, and it appeared that its .dat
[20:07] <bekks> EmiF-: Well, its not a pdf content.
[20:07] <EmiF-> what is it then?
[20:08] <EmiF-> bekks: what is it then
[20:11] <Fenb> what is the diffrences between cli and gui?
[20:11] <bekks> EmiF-: ASCII text, with very long lines, just as "file" told you.
[20:12] <wilee-nilee> Fenb, " cli and gui" command or graphic
[20:13] <nzb> A few questions about unbuntu been using windows for a long while and I am finally going to give it a try for a week. How is efficient is it while multitasking compared to windows? How well to virtual machines run ? Which virtual machine software is the most optimised ? Do I need to remove my SLI BRIDGE when installing ? Does ubuntu support UEFI booting? Whats the best way to partition my ssd drive and does trim
[20:13] <nzb> work oob or do I need to set it up?
[20:13] <wilee-nilee> user interfaces Fenb
[20:14] <wilee-nilee> nzb, One week will hardly educate you in linux.
[20:14] <EmiF-> ok thanks bekks
[20:15] <nzb> Yes but if I enjoy it, it will be longer than a week
[20:16] <bgardner> nzb: TRIM works oob.  VMs run excellently.  Multitasking is better than Windows.  But bottom line, wilee-nilee is totally right, a week is far too short for a serious review.
[20:16] <daftykins> nzb: yeah it's something you have to stick at
[20:17] <wilee-nilee> nzb, Dualboot it and try t out, your questions are not really fully answerable. Primarily I think many keep windows for the games that wont run in linux, most other apps in windows or apple have a comparable app in linux usually a few.
[20:19] <Fenb> wilee-nilee: both
[20:22] <nzb> As I said earlier I will give it more time than a week if I enjoy it! So on to my questions ? Do I need to remove the sli bridge before installing ? And UEFI booting is it supported if yes how?

[20:27] <luke_> can you give us some more info, whats installed its self?
[20:27] <jrib> Tking: probably unity-webapps-youtube
[20:27] <mfaroukg> what is the latest kernel after after 3.8.0-19-generic?
[20:28] <ThothCastel> to install a domain controllerin ubuntu server, should I install the slapd and ldap-utils packages and assign the hostname as in example.com
[20:28] <ThothCastel> 127.0.0.1 example.com
[20:28] <Tking> jrib sudo apt-get remove unity-webapps-youtube - says its not installed
[20:28] <ThothCastel> when editing my hosts file, why is it not taking effect?
[20:29] <ThothCastel> I am trying to add as     127.0.0.1     server.procopio.local      server
[20:30] <ThothCastel> when I type hostname -f        I still keep on getting the old name it was before   'UbuntuVM'
[20:30] <ThothCastel> why is that?
[20:31] <bgardner> nzb: For UEFI, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI
[20:31] <Mage_Dude> Anyone know why the PXE loader for the MAAS-cluster-controller has the correct path to the pxelinux.0 file, but the PXE client says 'File not found'? Anyone know how to fake a PXE request to see what path the server is trying to load the bot loader from?
[20:31] <Mage_Dude> ThothCastel: Maybe restart networking/system?
[20:32] <ThothCastel> I rebooted the system and still the same
[20:32] <booh> On my box, I have an Ethernet and a wifi.  I'm connected to internet with wifi.  I was sharing my connection to connect via ethernet my second box... I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 and lost this sharing... But I don't remember how I had activated it... ??
[20:32] <bathroom> Alright...A Hot Carl is done in 1 of 3 ways.

[20:41] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: I just tried with a newly downloaded iso. No luck in getting 12.04 to boot from a usb stick
[20:41] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Have you found that other boot from menu and does it show a usb?
[20:43] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, How are you loading the usb, and no luck s to vague, are you getting anything with booting the usb?
[20:43] <wilee-nilee> *is
[20:43] <bgardner> ThothCastel: What does hostname -A get you?
[20:45] <ThothCastel> bgardner: it doesn't give me anything
[20:45] <ThothCastel> hostname -f     gives me the old name 'UbuntuVM'
[20:46] <vlad_starkov> Emergency question: I got a problem after apt-get upgrade on Ubuntu 12.04 with raid1+encryption+lvm. After reboot the LVM-passphrase is always wrong. After few tries it comes to initramfs# shell. Is it possible to check the passphrase right from initramfs shell?
[20:46] <vlad_starkov> Any help appreciates!
[20:46] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, There are new pae kernels that wont run on older hardware, could this be an issue?
[20:47] <bgardner> ThothCastel: And what's in /etc/hostname?
[20:47] <UltimaKR> Hi everyone...I was wondering if there was anyone who could help me with partitioning my lubuntu hard drive and putting windows on it...the only guides I see online are how to put lubuntu on a windows drive.
[20:48] <daylyt> anyone remember how to get oidentd working with ipv6?
[20:48] <wilee-nilee> UltimaKR, Generally for easy windows repair and maintain access you want it in the first partition on the HD.
[20:48] <kostas_> nilee-wilee: it does not boot from usb (or the cd for that matter), it just boots 8.10 (the currently installed os). It could be an old hardware issue, the machine is a Sony Vaio vgn-nr31z/s (approx. 5 years old)
[20:48] <SonikkuAmerica> UltimaKR: Mainly because you normally need to install it first, as well.
[20:48] <citric> anyone here have problems with Steam locking up your system?
[20:49] <UltimaKR> wilee-nilee: So how would I change what I have here? And why does Windows need to be on the first partition?
[20:49] <citric> no matter what it locks my system up and forced t hard reboot
[20:49] <SonikkuAmerica> !steam | citric
[20:49] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Have you found that other boot from menu?
[20:49] <ewi> UltimaKR: reinstalling GRUB after the windows install adds some difficulty
[20:49] <citric> How can I change GH
[20:49] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: negative. I tried F12 and other function keys, could not boot it using either of these, just boots the installed os
[20:49] <citric> oops 1 sec
[20:49] <wilee-nilee> UltimaKR, If not first the windows install disc or repair will not work easily basically.
[20:50] <ewi> kostas_: does your BIOS support booting from USB?
[20:50] <citric> How can I change GRUBS resolution? it looks nice on my laptop but on my desktop its HUGE
[20:50] <UltimaKR> wilee-nilee: So do I need to wipe this hard drive and start all over but with Windows first?
[20:51] <ewi> not necessarily UltimaKR, but it's easier to explain that way
[20:51] <kostas_> ewi: it does, this is how I installed 8.10 some years ago, and I checked the bios settings to make sure usb boot is enabled
[20:51] <ewi> what kind of computer kostas_?
[20:51] <UltimaKR> ewi: What other way could I do it?
[20:51] <Junos4Life> can anyone tell me how to change dns servers from cli in ubuntu?
[20:52] <SonikkuAmerica> UltimaKR: You can install Windows, then either (a) run Boot Repair from your Live image or (b) install EasyBCD in Windows.
[20:52] <kostas_> ewi: a Sony Vaio vgn-nr31z/s (approx. 5 years old)
[20:52] <Junos4Life> tried a bunch of diff ways but nothing works
[20:52] <UltimaKR> SonikkuAmerica: What would that do as far as my lubuntu is concerned? Sorry I am not very good at this stuff yet, more of a hardware guy.
[20:52] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, You will have to get to that menu I think, the bios settings do not always work. You can find on the web info on that computer to use that menu, here is one link. http://superuser.com/questions/258739/sony-vgn-nr260e-external-device-boot
[20:53] <ewi> you can reinstall GRUB via live cd UltimaKR
[20:53] <ThothCastel> why do we have hosts and hostname files and not just one of them?
[20:53] <Junos4Life> anyone know the cli command for changing dns servers?
[20:53] <bgardner> ThothCastel: I don't know the historical answer for that one.
[20:54] <ewi> kostas_: i believe f2 is the BIOS settings and then change your boot device order to USB first
[20:54] <ewi> kostas_:
[20:54] <kostas_> ewi: I did change the settings in bios, USB is first but still does not boot
[20:54] <SonikkuAmerica> UltimaKR: Using option (a) would force GRUB to recognize the Windows partition and set itself as the bootloader. Option (b) would put the Windows bootloader in charge, but it would detect an Ubuntu installation and generate a boot script.
[20:55] <SonikkuAmerica> UltimaKR: I'd help you more but I have to go eat dinner. See ya in a bit!
[20:55] <wilee-nilee> UltimaKR, I would not wipe the lubuntu, but clone it with clonezilla, then install windows and reload the lubuntu. Clonezilla will clone and reinstall to a equal or bigger partition, so you need to resize it first. You will have to change the partiion numbers in the save to the one you are re-installing to is all.
[20:55] <ewi> Junos4Life: it's in your /etc/resolv.conf
[20:55] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: the question in the link presents exactly the problem I have: F12 does not work, and changing the settings in bios via F2 (as the link suggests) still does not boot from USB
[20:55] <UltimaKR> Ok thanks guys I wil think about which route I want to take.
[20:55] <bgardner> Junos4Life: Or, depending on your setup, the resolvconf app.
[20:56] <citric> should /boot/grub/menu.lst be empty??
[20:56] <Junos4Life> doin it all from cli
[20:56] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Sure f12 is not for every computer, so you have to confirm yours will boot a usb, then find the correct key prompts, I think you are okay as far as the kernels.
[20:56] <ewi> have your powered off fully kostas_? sometimes usb needs kicked in the ass
[20:56] <bgardner> Junos4Life: As ewi says, start by checking /etc/resolv.conf
[20:57] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: I tried different function keys apart from F12, none of them worked (the person posting the question in the link has the same problem)
[20:57] <ewi> kostas_: try a livecd?
[20:57] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, What I noticed in the link was instructions for the bios to confirm a external b oot.
[20:58] <ewi> kostas_: have you tried a different USB stick?
[20:58] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Sure, but did you try any you found on the web that supposedly work, some computers need multiple keys to get there.
[20:58] <Saiki> does 13.04 support x86 elf/apps?
[20:59] <kostas_> ewi: I tried that too (cd made through an iso) but did not boot. Incidentally my girlfriend had the same problem (not boot from usb) and used a cd. It worked on her laptop, but the same cd does not work in mine
[20:59] <MonkeyDust> Saiki  guess you need ia-libs
[20:59] <Inv1s1ble> What's the right way to create symlinks for your service within a DEBIAN/postinst ?
[20:59] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, We are assunming here as well that the usb has been loaded correctly, I asked you with what and no answer. I don't believe you have md5summed the download as well, there are a few varibles that may be the problem.
[21:00] <kostas_> ewi: positive, I tried two different usb sticks, none of them worked (although one of them worked when I installed 8.10 a few years ago on the same machine)
[21:00] <MonkeyDust> !info | ia32-libs-multiarch
[21:00] <MonkeyDust> Saiki  ^^^^
[21:00] <Saiki> MonkeyDust: apt-get install ia-libs
[21:01] <Saiki> MonkeyDust: apt-get install ia32-libs ?
[21:01] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: what do you mean by loaded? Creating the usb startup disk using the iso file?
[21:02] <Saiki> MonkeyDust: I'm using server 13.04
[21:02] <MonkeyDust> Saiki  it's ia32-libs-multiarch
[21:03] <MonkeyDust> and there's also #ubuntu-server
[21:04] <Saiki> MonkeyDust: First I've heard of that channel
[21:05] <MonkeyDust> Saiki  it may be more convenient for you
[21:05] <Inv1s1ble> What's the right way to create symlinks for your service within a DEBIAN/postinst when building packages?
[21:05] <shodan45> is there a way in the aptitude "TUI" to install w/o recommends?
[21:06] <Saiki> MonkeyDust: It's just the first time I've worked with  a 64bit server vm
[21:06] <Saiki> I tend to work with x86 mostly
[21:06] <dopie> hey guys
[21:06] <dopie> I get this error while trying to install rmagick
[21:06] <ThothCastel> why can I ping a local domain with ip address but not with domain name?
[21:06] <dopie> https://gist.github.com/staycreativedesign/5760647
[21:06] <trism> Inv1s1ble: might want to ask in #ubuntu-packaging but it is also described in 9.3.3.1 Managing the links at http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html
[21:07] <MonkeyDust> Inv1s1ble  and there's also the channel #ubuntu-app-devel
[21:08] <Inv1s1ble> Thanks!
[21:08] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Yeah how did you put the ISO on the usb. Basically we have to knock out variables at times.  Honestly I think it is just a matter of getting to that boot menu.
[21:09] <maelstorm> ok found this via website looking to fix a problem i can not find anywhere on the forums.  and it's a really freaky problem.  12.04 (just downloaded and installed)
[21:09] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: I used the "create usb startup disk" function on ubuntu 8.10 using a 12.04 iso file
[21:09] <Mage_Dude> Anyone using MAAS at all? Or familiar with how the tftp is setup for that package?
[21:10] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Cool, thanks it should be loadng fine.
[21:10] <mfaroukg> can any one share with me /etc/apt/source.list in ubuntu 13.04 64bit
[21:10] <binkii> i am just about to install ubuntu 12.04 on my hp 6930p. has anyone managed to resolve the fingerprint scanner bugs before I do>?
[21:11] <maelstorm> for some reason if i open an application ANY i can't click on anything in it.  Example: open firefox.  i can click X - and []  but not any link in it. i can't type in the url or open fields unless i alt tab to it.   IF i do that. everything in firefox works i can't click on antyhing not in firefox (not even file edit view)
[21:11] <HappyMan_> why does networkmanager take a long time to start up?
[21:11] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: I think I did all the steps I've done before in getting it to boot with no luck. It just keeps booting to the already installed os
[21:12] <wilee-nilee> mfaroukg, http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/
[21:13] <zehexx> can we scan virus using ubuntu for .exe file in disk?
[21:13] <zehexx> i have problem
[21:13] <kostkon> !clamav | zehexx
[21:13] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Seems that way, I just use this other boot menu always, it is a direct boot, if there are problems there then you can deal with them.
[21:13] <wilee-nilee> ! Virus
[21:14] <wilee-nilee>  zehexx There are a nuber of scanners that can be installed check the bots link.
[21:14] <maelstorm> anyone have any idea about the problem i posted?
[21:15] <zehexx> wilee-nilee , thx, i use dual boot
[21:15] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: I just cannot see how I can access this other (direct) boot menu. I tried all sorts of keys and combinations. And from the question in the link, it seems that others have problems accessing it
[21:15] <Saiki> MonkeyDust: Thank you, works perfectly now :)
[21:15] <zehexx> one of my disk infect by ramnit.e? can we scan manual?
[21:16] <zehexx> manual from ubuntu
[21:16] <MonkeyDust> Saiki  great! :)
[21:16] <compdoc> maelstorm, have you installed or updated the video card driver recently?
[21:16] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Your cause and affect are weak, you are assuming. This menu is available on every computer, short of this particular model having problems you need to find the correct instructions.  There are other ways to install, however more compklex then finding this menu.
[21:17] <maelstorm> i installed the recommended nvidia driver
[21:17] <maelstorm> it's a fresh install
[21:17] <zehexx> how to find ramnit.e + his friend using ubuntu manually?
[21:17] <maelstorm> after that it asked to install video driver and i chose the recommended one
[21:18] <maelstorm> it's not just firefox doing it. any app i open i can't click inside of it. i can tab through options but i can't click into it .. i end up trying alot of other things then i can click on things but anything outside of that window i can't click on any more. even if i alt-f4 the application
[21:19] <ewi> maelstorm: restricted/proprietary drivers are often buggy, even if it's the "recommended" version
[21:19] <maelstorm> it must be something recent. : / i din't download the driver i used what the fresh install asked to use .. maybe if i download latest one from nvidia ?
[21:20] <ewi> uninstall the nvidia driver and see if the problem persists.  If it goes away, you can't use that driver.  Maybe try one of the non-reccomended ones but they are unlikly to work better.
[21:20] <ewi> maelstorm:
[21:20] <maelstorm> allright. i'll try that
[21:20] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: any ideas where I can find this? http://supportforsony.iyogi.com/vaio-boot-menu.html doesn't seem to mention anything for direct boot option. I looked and all I found is about getting access to the BIOS settings
[21:20] <maelstorm> lol i've been bashing my head against the wall all morning trying to get it working .. here we go again
[21:21] <ewi> sometimes the nv drivers give proper support maelstorm, you just have to find what works best with your particular hardware.  maybe use lspci and google to search your specific video card
[21:22] <zehexx> i think i must find it own,,thx
[21:23] <zykotick9> ewi: nv is "more or less" superseeded by nouveau at this point.  nv is no longer actively maintained, i believe.
[21:23] <wilee-nilee> kostas_, Web of trust the firefox addon blocks that site. I'm not sure there is more I can explain here.
[21:23] <ewi> noted zykotick9
[21:23] <Daemoen> hey guys, what package provides add-apt-repository ?
[21:23] <ewi> kostas_: remove the hard drive
[21:24] <Daemoen> nvm, found it
[21:24] <kostas_> ewi: that could possibly work with the booting but where I am supposed to install the os then?
[21:25] <ewi> get the ubs working first, then worry about that part
[21:25] <ewi> usb*
[21:26] <kostas_> ewi: I think I will pass, I removed the hard drive in the Vaio some years ago, and took me like 1 hour to get the 12s of screws on and off.
[21:26] <kostas_> wilee-nilee: I am not sure I got this

[22:15] <bazhang> you cannot Maple__
[22:15] <bekks> Maple__: There is no way to do so.
[22:16] <zykotick9> Maple__: you can't skip releases (quasi-exception is LTS->LTS)
[22:19] <Serpiente> do I have to use dpkg-reconfigure tzdata to configure the timezone or can I just echo my preferred one to /etc/timezone?
[22:21] <MonkeyDust> Maple__  it would be 12.04 --> 12.10 --> 13.04     or backup and fresh install
[22:22] <BaKKaR> i need a help pls
[22:22] <BaKKaR> basically there is a broken pack that has been downloaded but does not want to install. I have tried (clean, install -f) everything i can think of cant still get it off the system nor install it. It is a broken pack
[22:23] <MonkeyDust> BaKKaR  try dpkg -a --configure
[22:23] <BaKKaR> i have tried even dpkg -i
[22:23] <bazhang> BaKKaR, which release of debian

[22:23] <BaKKaR> bazhang: I am running mint :-/
[22:24] <Ads20000_> or is it sudo apt-get <packagename> -purge?
[22:24] <bazhang> BaKKaR, mints not supported here
[22:24] <glassresistor> l
[22:24] <Ads20000_> wrong IRC then :P
[22:24] <Ads20000_> go get Ubuntu and install Cinnamon, same thing :P
[22:25] <BaKKaR> thank you bazhang i thought to get to the mother-ship hence my droid is not working so for sure i would go to debian even before ubuntu
[22:25] <GSilva> Good evening everyone

[22:26] <Fishscene> I need access to the directory /dev/video0 without sudo priviledge escalation. I'm already a member of the "video" group. Where do I go from here?
[22:29] <TheLordOfTime> where can i change the interface name for a networking interface, like eth2 so i can rename it to wlan0 or whatever
[22:29] <TheLordOfTime> and not the automated assignment, just the name on the one interface.
[22:30] <Ads20000_> WITHOUT sudo privaledge escalation Fishscene? No idea
[22:31] <Pingu> Heyo
[22:31] <Pingu> Whats up guys
[22:32] <Fishscene> Yea. When I want to watch video from that directory, I need to use Sudo or I don't have permission. The group "video" is allowed to access the directory, and I'm a member of that group, so I'm wondering why I don't have access. :S
[22:33] <gordonjcp> Fishscene: narrow it down
[22:33] <gordonjcp> Fishscene: can you even stat a file from that directory?
[22:34] <gordonjcp> Fishscene: also, fine if group video can access the *directory* but what about the files within it?
[22:36] <Fishscene> gordonjcp: Well, here's the full story. I have a hardware video encorder that dumps the encoded video over USB to linux. It shows up on Linux under /dev/video0. I can use "sudo multicat "to read the directory and stream it to my network. Everything works just fine. I'd like to run this setup without requiring sudo priviledges to read the "directory". So there aren't any "files" per-say that I'm aware of in the "directory"
[22:37] <Fishscene> Come to think of it. I'm using Ubuntu server, but I'm not seeing anything strictly "ubuntu" with my problem. I should ask in #linux
[22:38] <droogie> I have installed ubuntu 13.04 on my macbook air, everything is working good - atleast most of the things. One thing does not work that well and that is the touchpad, its to sensitive. When I use the keyboard the mouse suddenly jumps around because of a small touch at the touchpad, is this possible to fix?
[22:38] <gordonjcp> Fishscene: aha, maybe you need to look into udev permissions
[22:38] <Fishscene> I'll look into udev. Thanks for the pointer!
[22:39] <david_> what is the major difference btween ubuntu and mint
[22:42] <aeon-ltd> david_: the UI, packages, support, development choices
[22:44] <aeon-ltd> droogie: there should be options to change that (sensitivity and acceleration) some where, i'm sorry but i'm using ubuntu so i can't guide you. If it's a synaptics trackpad you can pass options through termminal using synclient (synclient -l to list the current config)
[22:44] <aeon-ltd> *i'm not using ubuntu
[22:45] <drkphoenix> How can i get ubuntu 13.04 to recognize my internet connection
[22:45] <aeon-ltd> drkphoenix: what is it?
[22:45] <Chech> what happen to pirate bay
[22:46] <bazhang> !ot | Chech
[22:46] <aeon-ltd> Chech: nothing, and that's not relevant to uubuntu support
[22:46] <Chech> got u
[22:46] <drkphoenix> it says no network devices avalible
[22:47] <drkphoenix> I have searched the internet and all kinds of things but i have no figured out how to activate my wireless
[22:48] <aeon-ltd> drkphoenix: install drivers?
[22:48] <drkphoenix> yeah they are all instsalled
[22:49] <david_> what kind of chipset do you have
[22:49] <Guest86508> What file/folder are the commands that you type in the terminal located
[22:51] <aeon-ltd> Guest86508: Explain more
[22:52] <aeon-ltd> Guest86508: /usr/bin?
[22:52] <Guest86508> for example you type "python" or "cd" or whatever
[22:52] <OerHeks> i guess Guest86508 wants ~/.bash_history
[22:52] <Guest86508> is their a file which has all of these in it
[22:53] <guest-ZKhO0o> After updating to 13.04, I can not login to my computer.  Have to use guest account.  What is going on?
[22:53] <Guest86508> sdfjkfasdf
[22:53] <jrib> Guest86508: you want the history of what you typed in the past?
[22:54] <sere> Guest86508: do you want available commands?
[22:54] <Guest86508> for example, when I type "python" in the terminal, what file does it access to execute that
[22:54] <jrib> Guest86508: why?  What do you want to accomplish?
[22:54] <aeon-ltd> Guest86508: look in /usr/bin or /bin or any other bin
[22:55] <trism> Guest86508: which python;
[22:55] <sere> Guest86508: /usr/bin.. you can use dpkg to find what programs are installed and where
[22:55] <Guest86508> awesome
[22:55] <GSilva> can someone tell me where can I find Passwords and Encryption Keys on Ubuntu 13.04?
[22:56] <Enich> GSilva,    What passwords are you talking about ?
[22:56] <GSilva> Enich, I need it to register some fingertips on Launchpad
[22:57] <Guest86508> one more question, I just installed openssh server and I cant log in with the right password from a local network pc
[22:57] <brokenubuntu> how can i login after updating to 13.04?
[22:57] <jrib> Guest86508: does « ssh localhost » work on the server?
[22:57] <jrib> brokenubuntu: login the same you always logged in
[22:57] <jrib> ^way
[22:58] <brokenubuntu> jrib:  it just keeps kicking me to the login screen
[22:58] <jrib> brokenubuntu: create a fresh new user and see if it still happens
[22:58] <Guest86508> (yes, that works
[22:58] <brokenubuntu> jrib: dont think guest can do that
[22:58] <jrib> Guest86508: what's the output of « sudo iptables -L »?
[22:58] <jrib> brokenubuntu: login at tty1 (ctrl-alt-f1).  You can get back to X by pressing ctrl-alt-f7
[22:59] <Guest86508> Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)
[22:59] <Guest86508> target     prot opt source               destination

[22:59] <FloodBot1> Guest86508: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.
[22:59] <drkphoenix> My network is enabled but it does not seem to recognize it as enabled i have tried lspcii
[22:59] <jrib> Guest86508: what happens when you try to log in from another computer on your network exactly?
[22:59] <brokenubuntu> jrib:  ok, lets me login with my account at ttl.  So, how do I fix X?
[23:00] <Guest86508> it says, "permission denied, please try again"
[23:01] <ShaneO> hello does anyone know if LIDS is available for libux kernel 3.8.0-23

[23:05] <Shariff> Hi there
[23:05] <brokenubuntu> how do you fix X login after upgrading to 13.04?
[23:05] <wilee-nilee> brokenubuntu, Do you have a graphic card that needs drivers?
[23:06] <Shariff> I have installed dnsmasq using apt-get and have added enable-tftp and tftp-root=/bla to the conf file.. Unfortunately those 2 lines cause an error: "enable-tftp: not found" and the same for the tftp-root... Why does dnsmasq tell me it isn't found, while I thought, based on reading in the conf file that tftp should be a feature of the daemon?
[23:06] <brokenubuntu> wilee-nilee: no
[23:07] <brokenubuntu> wilee-nilee:  just can not log in with X.  ttl works
[23:07] <wilee-nilee> brokenubuntu, Not really an area I can help I never upgrade the OS, so have not really ran into the problems that can happen there.
[23:08] <brokenubuntu> wilee-nilee:  ubuntu kept begging me to upgrade
[23:09] <Shariff>  /j #dnsmasq
[23:09] <wilee-nilee> brokenubuntu, If it were me I would try a nomodeset boot and see if you get in.
[23:09] <wilee-nilee> ! nomodeset
[23:13] <jrib> Guest86508: are you logging in as the right user?
[23:15] <Nanashi> Okay, I made a bunch of logical partitions and rebooted back into Windows just fine.
[23:15] <Nanashi> Can I go ahead and install some distros without killing my Windows boot?
[23:18] <ZachNood> Is ubuntu spyware
[23:19] <aeon-ltd> ZachNood: there's been no evidence that it is so far
[23:19] <aeon-ltd> ZachNood: if it is there's a lot of people to be screwed
[23:20] <wilee-nilee> Nanashi, without more detailed descriptions we can't really help.
[23:21] <data> hi, i have a problem with, I think, custom mouse pointers in certain applications. i.e. they do not appear, e.g., in spotify, skype, java applications and others. is there a way to disable them? I have changed cursor themes and am at a loss

So you guys want it, just sign on this page (no registration is required) http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/google-create-a-native-linux-google-drive-application

[23:27] <wilee-nilee> Adam____, try a nomodeset boot to see if you get the gui.
[23:27] <wilee-nilee> ! nomodeset > Adam____
[23:28] <Tex_Nick> Adam____:  I probably can't help with that, but you really need to provide more info for the channel gurus ... graphics hardware & drivers etc
[23:28] <Adam____> Thanks..gotcha....I dont' know what nomodeset is..let me google it.
[23:30] <wilee-nilee> Adam____, Check the private message from the bot for a link.

[23:34] <olskolirc> could someone tell me what's the difference between ip address *.*.*.*/24 and *.*.*.*/16 please?
[23:34] <olskolirc> the 24 and the 16
[23:34] <jrib> olskolirc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing
[23:35] <daftykins> olskolirc: one has a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 and the other 255.255.0.0
[23:35] <daftykins> must sleep nn!
[23:35] <olskolirc> ohhh ok daftykins you saved me two days worth of reading thanks
[23:36] <olskolirc> so /24 belongs to .0 and /16 belongs to 0.0? or vice versa
[23:36] <olskolirc> daftykins,
[23:37] <olskolirc> n/m I remember now
[23:37] <olskolirc> thanks
[23:37] <elisa87> this klee software requires me to tell where my llvm path is ! How can I know it? ./configure --with-llvm=path/to/llvm 
[23:39] <Siecje> is there a hotkey to snap to the left or right side?
[23:43] <olskolirc> daftykins, is there a such thing as a /8 and a /4?
[23:43] <olskolirc> rather what do we have to work with /24 /16 are there more /?
[23:44] <Shariff> How do I check if dnsmasq has added a tftp-server to the dhcp lease?
[23:46] <Serpiente> I am havin a problem connecting to ubuntu servers using apt through squid3 setup is a standard squid3 installation (apt-get install squid) and exporting http_proxy variable on the client machine. requesting pages through wget works for my pages and others, google.com and google.de are not working, any ideas on what I missed? those pages hang at Proxy request sent, awaiting response... and apt-get update is hanging at apt-get update waiting for headers
[23:49] <Ponch0> hey buntu, it seems i get this error, - GLib-CRITICAL **: g_slice_set_config: assertion `sys_page_size == 0' failed - how do I change the page size cuz that error annoys me.
[23:49] <danito> hello, what is the best partition format I can use for a raid 1 array in a server? I plan to access files on the network with samba in other nix distros and windows

[23:54] <raven_> how to split network traffic: upstream to mobile, downstream from cable?
[23:56] <muellisoft> raven_: not easy. definitely not for beginners. Try to search for "bonding" your interfaces.
[23:56] <Tex_Nick> raven_:  you'll probably need a managed router for that purpose
[23:56] <Muelli> plus: many ISPs do not allow that.
[23:57] <Tex_Nick> Muelli: good point
[23:58] <raven_> is there really no way to do anything with iptables?
[23:59] <pragmaticenigma> raven_: IPtables is meant for routing traffic between networks, but it's not really intended for the purposes you speak of.  Normal network usage is device sends out a packet and expects a response on the same interface
