| pragmaticenigma | raven_: What your doing is trying to send out a request on one connection, but expect the response on another | 00:00 |
| danito | which partition format is close to xfs or xcf or something like that. I cannot remember and I was told that may be the partition format I am looking for | 00:00 |
| raven_ | yes | 00:00 |
| qin | raven_: you can bind application to interface | 00:00 |
| pragmaticenigma | danito: JFS is a close cousin | 00:00 |
| alien64 | danito: nfs ? | 00:02 |
| danito | alien64: no, definitely not nfs | 00:02 |
| rypervenche | zfs? | 00:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | alien64: NFS is for network file system, allowing a computer to use the file system on a remote computer | 00:03 |
| pragmaticenigma | danito: there are a lot of file systems out there that are similar to XFS... it might help to tell us what specific features your looking for | 00:03 |
| alien64 | pragmaticenigma: this i know | 00:04 |

| Serpiente | solved my issue: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12633884/squid3-cant-access-google-com-or-bing-com | 00:04 |
| danito | pragmaticenigma: I want a partition format that can hold files larger than 4gb and works as natively as possible with raid 1 arrays. I plan to use the raid 1 array as a storage server | 00:05 |
| pragmaticenigma | almost all mainstream linux file systems support files sizes over 4GB. (Only really obscure ones don't) Raid arrays, unless software driven (not recommended) are independent of the file system. | 00:07 |

| SonikkuAmerica | acovrig: In most cases, we're talking Intel Macs (amd64+mac) | 00:24 |
| acovrig | SonikkuAmerica, that page doesn't help given I have a 9,? system, the page only goes up to 8,3; I am trying to boot from a ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amx64+mac.iso (via a DVD) | 00:26 |
| acovrig | My system is a MacBook Pro 9,1 | 00:27 |
| Fenb | i have heard that nvidia driver support the hybrid graphics | 00:27 |
| vith | is there a way to get the Software Updater window to actually show the package names that it wants to update instead of vague titles? | 00:29 |
| trism | vith: gsettings set com.ubuntu.update-manager summary-before-name false; perhaps | 00:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | acovrig: What happens when you try to boot up? | 00:35 |
| vith | that didn't seem to do it but i'm trying some of the other keys now | 00:35 |
| acovrig | I get a black screen with a single _ and the system doesn't respond | 00:35 |
| SonikkuAmerica | acovrig: From the Live image? | 00:35 |
| vith | hmm nope, show-versions didn't help either | 00:36 |
| acovrig | I had successfully installed with rEFIt, but am wanting to reinstall directly using EFI (instead of using rEFIt) because I currently can't use my integrated graphics, so my battery lasts 1/3 what it should... | 00:36 |
| acovrig | yes, from the liveCD | 00:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !efi | 00:36 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:36 |

| multi-d | i wonder what repo i need to have set up to download "lubuntu-core" with apt? Or where can I find the answer? | 00:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | multi-d: Huh? The LXDE core or the Lubuntu desktop? | 00:39 |
| multi-d | lxde core | 00:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | multi-d: [ sudo apt-get install lxde ] | 00:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | acovrig: It's altogether possible that the rEFIt configuration is the only way to set up a 9,x. I can't be too sure, I can only tell you what the wiki says; I don't own a Mac. | 00:40 |
| multi-d | thank you, SonikkuAmerica | 00:40 |
| SonikkuAmerica | acovrig: If your Live image is Ubuntu with Unity, and you're concerned about power usage, try a Lubuntu Mac image. | 00:41 |
| maelstorm | ok i'm about to give up on ubuntu with an nvidia gtx460SE. I've noticed if i don't load any drivers it's still doing this damn bug. If i open firefox i can't click on anything in fire fox. if i hit alt-h i can BUT i can't click on anything ealse. if i download a file or anything that pops up a new window on top the mouse clicks right throug it onto firefox. this is massively pissing me off | 00:44 |
| maelstorm | now lol. anyone know what it could be? i even tried without loading any of the proprietary drivers and it's still doing it. | 00:44 |
| orangecat | Anyone knows a good noob friendly guide on how to setup my home PC as a VPN using OpenVPN? | 00:44 |
| multi-d | SonikkuAmerica: doesn't installing the lubuntu-core automatically default to using LXDE as the desktop? I mean, what is a Lubuntu desktop if it is not LXDE anyway? | 00:44 |
| jrib | !openvpn | orangecat | 00:45 |
| ubottu | orangecat: OpenVPN is a vpn technology in Ubuntu, sudo apt-get install openvpn and then see http://openvpn.net/ and see the documentation "HOWTO" noting you have already installed it. ;-) It rocks! | 00:45 |
| jrib | :( | 00:45 |
| SonikkuAmerica | multi-d: You'd be surprised what's built on Lubuntu. | 00:45 |
| jrib | orangecat: also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN | 00:45 |
| orangecat | lubuntu desktop is a modified version of lxde. | 00:45 |
| multi-d | right. :) | 00:45 |
| rti^ | maelstorm I installed the ATI drivers and it killed my ubuntu install | 00:46 |
| maelstorm | well i dont' think ati drivers would work at all with a nvidia card | 00:47 |
| Ari-Yang | rti^, you mean flgrx? | 00:47 |
| multi-d | mostly I am talking about the set of programs and features that come with the metapackage called lubuntu-core | 00:47 |
| Ari-Yang | oh.... that might have been it. BUT wanted to say that fglrx drivers are horrible | 00:47 |
| rti^ | I know, I'm just saying installing new gfx card drivers killed my install and made it buggy as hell. | 00:47 |
| maelstorm | well i even tried a fresh install again | 00:47 |
| maelstorm | i blew out the partitions and everything. still the stupid thing doesi t without loading any drivers | 00:48 |
| Ari-Yang | rti^, I tried fglrx, gave me A LOT of tearing. open source drivers are 100x better | 00:48 |
| rti^ | Yeah these were closed source.. I was under the impression they were from the manu but I guess I should've read more closely. | 00:48 |
| maelstorm | so anyone actually get ubuntu to play nice with an nvidia card and 12.04?? | 00:49 |
| multi-d | i just installed a base system with CLI only. when I tried downloading with this command: "apt-get install lubuntu-core", apt could not find it. so, i need to find the name of the repo that carries it and set it up for access first. | 00:49 |
| maelstorm | meh i think i'll give mint a try and if that doesn't work check back in another year see if it's been fixed then | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | multi-d, It is lubuntu-desktop | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | however I see lubuntu-core in my 13.04 synaptic | 00:55 |
| multi-d | wilee-nilee: not according to this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Documentation/MinimalInstall. Look at the section labeled "Installation", in which there is a distinction made between them. | 00:55 |
| minimec | Sorry to bother you with that. Is there a way to make (that 'horrible software') Rhythmbox play the Music lens results in 13.04. I mean the default music player should be able to play results of a default unity lens... | 00:56 |
| multi-d | wilee-nilee: can you tell me which repo that lubuntu-core is supposed to be in by looking at your program? | 00:57 |
| wilee-nilee | multi-d, Should be in the man repos | 00:57 |
| wilee-nilee | main* | 00:57 |
| hamza | hello all, i think my graphics card may be overheating when playing steam games (doesn't do it on windows), how can i debug what's really going on? | 00:57 |
| Ari-Yang | hamza, what card you have? | 00:59 |
| Ari-Yang | ati? nividia? | 00:59 |
| Ari-Yang | perhaps checking out either one's proprietary drivers (depending on what you have)? | 01:00 |
| minimec | hamza: Do you have temerature information about your GPU? Otherwise it's probabpy good to install lm-sensors and run 'sudo sensors-detect' | 01:00 |

| minimec | gothpaw: Flash? | 01:06 |
| SonikkuAmerica | gothpaw: That's really only feasible using GNOME 3; do you have it? | 01:06 |
| steveg__ | ok.. ubuntu 13.04.. this is driving me crazy.. have a HTC smartphone.. not paired with my laptop, bluetooth turned off.. but when my cell phone rings.. my laptop "rings" also.. nothing else.. no indicators flashing, no pop up.. juts a.. ring.. cell phone stops, ringoing on the laptop stops... | 01:07 |
| gothpaw | minimec: I imagine a lot of them are flash. | 01:08 |
| minimec | gothpaw: This is still working in 12.04 - 13.04. You hack the flash library. I use that on my dual screen setup. http://www.ubunturoot.com/2011/07/fullscreen-flash-video-with-dual.html | 01:09 |
| SonikkuAmerica | gothpaw: If you don't have GNOME 3.6 or higher, good luck. In gnome-tweak-tool you can set "Workspaces on primary monitor only" to on and have static environments in the rest of them. | 01:09 |
| danito | is there an advantage on ext4 over ext3 partitions for a file server? | 01:11 |

| LordSesshomaru | Hey all, is it possible to ditch Unity and give Ubuntu 12.04 the same look and feel as the older versions of Ubuntu? | 01:30 |
| xangua | !classic | LordSesshomaru | 01:30 |
| ubottu | LordSesshomaru: The default interface in Ubuntu 11.04 is !Unity. To switch back to regular !GNOME: log out, click your username, click the Session box at the bottom of the screen, and select "Ubuntu Classic". For 11.10, see !notunity | 01:30 |
| SonikkuAmerica | xangua: That factoid is OH SO outdated. | 01:31 |
| LordSesshomaru | !nounity | 01:31 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 01:31 |
| ZachNood | How come linux mint took over ubuntu in popularity | 01:31 |
| SonikkuAmerica | LordSesshomaru: GNOME 3 Fallback is actually dead now, but it's still in the repos. | 01:32 |
| xangua | SonikkuAmerica: then someone should remove it :P | 01:32 |
| xangua | SonikkuAmerica: it was announced dead since gnome3 was released... | 01:32 |
| LordSesshomaru | Yeah, I just upgraded from 10.10 on a new machine and Unity IMHO sucks | 01:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | xangua: No, fallback was deprecated in 3.8, for classic mode. | 01:33 |

| etek | (etek) Does anyone have a fix for the 64 bit ubuntu 12.10 install disc? It always ejects it and restarts.... | 01:57 |
| IsaacLewis | it says "E: Unmet dependencies. Try using -f" | 01:57 |
| etek | Uh then as | 01:58 |
| etek | Add -f | 01:58 |
| vfw | etek: So you think the ISO you have is defective? If so, run a checksum against it and google it | 01:58 |
| FastZ | IsaacLewis, run apt-get -f install | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | IsaacLewis, try sudo apt-get -f install the the update and upgrade | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | *then | 01:58 |
| minimec | IsaacLewis: Ok. Now I would like to ask you a question. Did you add a ppa or install some software form other sources, before having the 'unmet dependencies' problem? | 01:59 |
| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||
| etek | Possibly...it will go down for reboot the second i hit install. | 01:59 |
| IsaacLewis | I upgraded the version of ubuntu to 12.04 and then software center stopped working and stuff like that | 01:59 |
| FastZ | etek, you might want to check the iso you burned to disc against the checksum to make sure it downloaded properly | 02:00 |
| minimec | IsaacLewis: So you were on 11.10 and upgraded to 12.04 | 02:00 |
| vfw | IsaacLewis: WHat happened when you ran sudo apt-get -f install ? | 02:00 |
| IsaacLewis | no, I was on 10.04 | 02:00 |

| somsip | samuraibsd: ah - I didn't expect the factoid to be so specific. Maybe doesn't apply | 02:06 |
| minimec | IsaacLewis: It should also give you the info, which package is missing dependencies. | 02:07 |
| IsaacLewis | minimec: it only does that on synaptic I think, and it's multiple packages | 02:07 |
| minimec | thurstylark: Never tried that, but once you chose the aoolication in the preferences, it should do. | 02:07 |
| thurstylark | minimec: Yeah, but there's no option for vnc links | 02:08 |
| minimec | IsaacLewis: Do you have synaptic installed? can you open it. Maybe we can remove the 'broken' packages. | 02:08 |
| IsaacLewis | I do | 02:08 |

| thurstylark | minimec: this is a link in a webpage in firefox that I'm working with | 02:16 |
| minimec | IsaacLewis: Ok. I guess we will get it done... your '/var/lib/dpkg/status' file is broken. Open the terminal and 'sudo nautilus --no-desktop /var/lib/dpkg'. You will find a 'status' and a 'status-old' file. Rename or delete 'status' and make a copy of 'status-old' with the name 'status'. | 02:17 |
| minimec | IsaacLewis: These files are created automatically by the package system. 'status-old' should be the 'last working' one. | 02:17 |
| IsaacLewis | so delete status? | 02:18 |
| IsaacLewis | and copy status-old? | 02:18 |
| thurstylark | Anyone else know how to teach firefox how to handle vnc:// links? | 02:18 |
| minimec | IsaacLewis: Well it's broken.. still I normally just rename such files as 'status.broken' or so. | 02:19 |
| minimec | IsaacLewis: To be sure, also make a copy of 'status-old' with another name, maybe. | 02:19 |
| IsaacLewis | I just copied status-old | 02:19 |
| IsaacLewis | and renamed it as status | 02:19 |

| kostkon | phunyguy, you'll only remove the qt tray icons that were converted to indicators by sni-qt, definitely not all the qt indicators. Many recent qt apps work just fine, they don't need sni-qt, they create their own indicator icon. | 02:33 |
| phunyguy | kostkon: perhaps it is worth a try. Worst case, I reinstall it. Thanks | 02:33 |

| Guest72199 | there is no unity in Studio | 02:43 |
| Tex_Nick | orangecat: if you have an old PC you might consider using it for your router ... a lot of software for that (Simplewall works great) that would provide a managed router, firewall & VPN to ypur delighrt ;-) | 02:43 |
| Guest72199 | yes but i will check again on the update now | 02:43 |
| phunyguy | orangecat: that I would find out what you did to make them upset. Perhaps #freenode can help? | 02:43 |

| orangecat | Whats the official website for simplewall BTW? | 02:47 |

| orangecat | I will be connecting to unprotected WIFI at place 2 thats the reason. | 02:51 |
| orangecat | I hope thats clear | 02:51 |
| Tex_Nick | orangecat: are you familiar with "Real VNC" ? ... it's free for individual use, has been around for years, works great | 02:52 |
| phunyguy | it is crystal clear, and openvpn is a great solution. If you want to use a decent out-of-box router solution, Endian works well. | 02:52 |
| phunyguy | it has a good openvpn implementation | 02:52 |
| phunyguy | I used it for years. | 02:52 |
| orangecat | Is the realVNC connection encrypted? | 02:53 |
| Tex_Nick | Endian is cool also ;-) | 02:53 |
| orangecat | I mean can the unprotected network that I'm connecting to sniff the data that goes thru realvnc? | 02:54 |
| LordSesshomaru1 | try teamviewer | 02:54 |
| Tex_Nick | orangecat: "Real VNC" has twoparts ... a client & a server ... encription is good | 02:55 |
| Tex_Nick | orangecat: it's about as simple to set up as it gets | 02:57 |
| orangecat | Yeah | 02:57 |
| orangecat | But I'm concerned if the unprotected netwoprk can sniff the data or not? | 02:57 |
| Guest72199 | so no one is around in ubuntustudio | 02:58 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Guest72199: If it's not a problem with an Ubuntu Studio app you can try #xubuntu | 02:59 |

| xangua | Ing by remove it you mean you used ppa-purge ¿ | 03:39 |
| Tickle | If I use a different nameserver than the other devices on my network will that harm anything? | 03:39 |
| vfw | Tickle: no | 03:39 |

| Tickle | Thanks | 03:39 |

| ubottu | oddbatter: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 03:52 |
| oddbatter | i guess thats wrong to say that | 03:53 |
| oddbatter | there are rootkit | 03:53 |
| oddbatter | trojan | 03:53 |
| oddbatter | i think there should be some antivirus for ubuntu | 03:54 |
| oddbatter | who agree with me | 03:54 |
| oddbatter | please stand up | 03:54 |

| ubottu | oddbatter: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 03:56 |
| oddbatter | kostton | 03:56 |
| clcto | oddbatter: i dont think there are many exploits that allow root access in linux | 03:56 |
| clcto | certain modules have some though | 03:56 |
| psycho_oreos | It's hard to correct a habit of constantly doing everything as root when one is desperate. It's even more harder to correct ex-windows users who thinks there needs to be antivirus for linux. | 03:56 |
| Tex_Nick | oddbatter: there have been a couple linux rootkits, however they have been patched quickly ... virus issues aren't much concern on linux | 03:56 |
| oddbatter | tex nick , some user got trojan installed | 03:57 |
| oddbatter | for a year | 03:57 |
| ruphos | anyone running ubuntu 12.04 on macbook pro bricked with kernel update 3.0.2-45? black screen w/ flashing cursor on boot thru rEFIt? | 03:57 |
| oddbatter | withoutout knowing it | 03:58 |
| clcto | oddbatter: sounds like his fault | 03:58 |
| oddbatter | clcto , if there's an antivirus scanner , he should have known it ealier | 03:58 |
| Tex_Nick | oddbatter: if they didn't know it ... how did they know it ??? @^@ | 03:59 |
| oddbatter | *he could have | 03:59 |
| oddbatter | am i right clcto | 03:59 |
| oddbatter | Tex_Nick , whre do you get that if they didn't know it ..." | 04:00 |
| shade34321 | is it safe to reference $HOME in my bashrc for my home directory if I never export it? | 04:00 |
| oddbatter | i don't understand what are you saying | 04:00 |
| psycho_oreos | There are certain softwares out there that mimick what antivirus does to an extent. I'm sure if one wants to treat linux like windows, nothing will stop them. There was a software called tripwire. | 04:01 |
| Tex_Nick | <oddbatter> tex nick , some user got trojan installed | 04:01 |
| Tex_Nick | <oddbatter> withoutout knowing it | 04:01 |
| clcto | Tex_Nick: he installed software from an untrusted source and it installed malware | 04:01 |
| clcto | not that hard to understand | 04:02 |
| psycho_oreos | In other words, he was desperate and naive and had to pay the price ultimately. | 04:02 |
| Tex_Nick | clcto: well some how they had to know it then @^@ | 04:03 |
| Styles | I hate Microsoft Secure Boot shit | 04:03 |

| Styles | CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z wont let me | 04:04 |
| Styles | I can choose "OTHER OS" but it's still enabled and not working | 04:04 |
| Styles | er Linux wont boot | 04:04 |
| Styles | even though it's installed on the drive | 04:04 |
| clcto | i dont understand. go to bios and disable secure boot | 04:04 |
| Styles | clcto you can't it's not an option | 04:05 |
| Styles | Is there anyway I can get Grub2 to load with secure boot? | 04:05 |
| psycho_oreos | Tex_Nick, when a computer is infected, one can see their computer is behaving in a weird/unusual way. | 04:06 |
| clcto | Styles: not easily | 04:06 |
| h4v0kcs | how do I identify myself? | 04:06 |
| Styles | Fuck fuck and fuck | 04:06 |
| Styles | I hate Microsoft so much | 04:06 |
| psycho_oreos | !identify| h4v0kcs | 04:06 |
| ubottu | h4v0kcs: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, as a typo will give away your password. If that happens, identify and then type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 04:06 |
| IdleOne | !language | Styles | 04:06 |
| ubottu | Styles: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 04:06 |
| h4v0kcs | thanks | 04:06 |
| Styles | Sorry ok so is there anything I can do? Basically I get "Missing Operating System" | 04:06 |
| Tex_Nick | psycho_oreos: that was my point ... anyway it's mute without details | 04:07 |
| clcto | Styles: us there an option Windows UEFI/Other OS | 04:08 |
| clcto | ah i see | 04:08 |
| clcto | sorry you said that already | 04:08 |
| Tex_Nick | psycho_oreos: actually ... sometimes a user see's it ... most user's NEVER know | 04:08 |
| Styles | clcto yeah and it actually doesn't work which is absurd | 04:08 |
| clcto | id complain to ASUS | 04:09 |
| treehau55 | theres something terribly funky going on with my system. it may or may not be related to xorg and compiz, also my wifi is acting screwy. All of this started happening for no reason. Is there any bugs with xorg? | 04:09 |
| Styles | yeah but that wont get me booting up anytime soon clcto | 04:09 |
| qin | Styles: do you boot from usb? | 04:10 |
| Styles | qin I'm able to, yes | 04:10 |
| psycho_oreos | Tex_Nick, I'd say that depends on various factors but yes the bottom line is that most users are generally.. well you know the words I want to say :) | 04:11 |
| Tex_Nick | psycho_oreos: hey i hear ya man ;-) | 04:11 |
| Styles | The primary drive is setup as follows: /dev/sda1 fat32 (boot sector) /dev/sda2 ext4 (Linux) and /dev/sda3 swap - because of secure boot it says the OS is missing. I did read that grub 2 was signed and such but how would I go about getting it to boot? | 04:11 |
| clcto | Styles: if it is signed you can copy the key to your bios settings | 04:15 |
| clcto | but you will probably have to change it everytime grub is updated | 04:15 |
| Styles | I just read that Ubuntu has grub2 signed | 04:17 |

| mogaj | wo0f: no ... i dont think so .. how can i check it | 04:41 |
| wo0f | mogaj: I imagine your Windows machines will be getting DNS from their nearest gateway, i.e. your router | 04:44 |
| wo0f | mogaj: however this is just a hunch, is your NIC actually diconnecting, or you are just unable to resolve web addresses? | 04:45 |
| wo0f | mogaj: maybe try pinging a local device | 04:45 |
| wo0f | ipconfig /all in windows to check DNS btw | 04:47 |

| somsip_ | jab416171: so the supported version is as shown. Which means you need a PPA, but... | 05:11 |
| somsip_ | !ppa | jab416171 | 05:11 |
| ubottu | jab416171: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

| jab416171 | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc1-raring/ | 05:11 |

| somsip_ | jab416171: and rc1? Up to you... | 05:12 |
| jab416171 | yeah, I'd want rc8, right? | 05:12 |

| somsip_ | jab416171: Not sure what you want. I need stable but each to their own | 05:12 |
| jab416171 | if I wanted stable I'd be on 12.04 :) | 05:13 |
| somsip_ | jab416171: probably next LTS version but I'm guessing. And I am on 12.04 ;) | 05:13 |

| suigeneris | reisio: usb bootable | 06:03 |
| guest-FDfgDw | hi fellas, I switched to macos like 2 years ago, today I loaded my old ubuntu and I discovered I can't login to my user using GUI, and when I login to console I see dirs like "bin", "boot" and "home" in my home directory, and I don't have ideas how to access my files | 06:03 |
| guest-FDfgDw | ls ~/home/user shows nothing btw | 06:04 |
| suigeneris | can I create that using dd? | 06:04 |
| reisio | suigeneris: you can dd an Ubuntu install image to a USB stick, yes | 06:04 |
| reisio | suigeneris: just be quite sure you get the syntax and values correct | 06:04 |
| susundberg | guest-FDfgDw: try 'ls /home/' | 06:04 |
| suigeneris | reisio: got an example that shows values? | 06:05 |
| suigeneris | reisio: I mean like bs and such | 06:05 |
| guest-FDfgDw | susundberg, well, it's my user home there | 06:05 |
| reisio | suigeneris: the bs doesn't matter so much, you can use bs=1M | 06:05 |
| susundberg | reisio,suigeneris: why not using the startup disc creator that is ment for making bootable images | 06:05 |
| guest-FDfgDw | that contains "bin boot etc" | 06:05 |
| reisio | suigeneris: what really matters is not overwriting the wrong device :p | 06:05 |
| suigeneris | susundberg: http://imgur.com/V9o99fN | 06:06 |
| reisio | susundberg: obviously, because it's too complex for him | 06:06 |
| susundberg | reisio: and using dd from command line is easier? | 06:06 |
| suigeneris | susundberg: `make startup disk` button is disabled | 06:06 |
| reisio | susundberg: infinitely | 06:06 |
| reisio | susundberg: most people can manage a copy & paste | 06:06 |
| reisio | and the ones that can't, well, they're hopeless anyways | 06:06 |
| susundberg | suigeneris: 1) you are really trying to make image from CD? 2) you dont have partitions on the usb stick? | 06:07 |
| suigeneris | reisio: no, it's not too complex for me. the fricking button is disabled | 06:07 |
| goddard | !ops reisio | 06:07 |
| guest-FDfgDw | do you think loading from safe disk would help in my case? | 06:07 |
| reisio | suigeneris: semantics, it wasn't an insult :) | 06:07 |
| suigeneris | susundberg: I am trying to make a usb bootable from an image, and yes I do | 06:07 |
| goddard | suigeneris: its surprising because reisio has a knack for rubbing people the wrong way | 06:08 |
| reisio | nah, people have a knack for being born rubbed :p | 06:09 |
| susundberg | guest-FDfgDw: you should see your files at /home/<here_your_username> on the simplest case. If you have /home on separate partition then you wont see any files there (not even the home directory). If you have encrypted homes then things get more complicated. I did not quite follow what you ment with having "bin" somewhere. You have directory 'bin' (etc) at /home/username_here/? | 06:09 |
| IdleOne | enough from both of you. stick to support and follow the channel !guidelines | 06:09 |
| goddard | reisio: sorry i don't do rap battles | 06:09 |
| reisio | goddard: that's good, 'cause I'm the hip-hop-o-potamus, my rhymes are bottomless, I... | 06:09 |
| susundberg | suigeneris: but you have the cdrom drive selected on the screen capture, and i dont see the partitions on creator (not sure if that version does, but at least older versions displayed them). You can mount the disk ok? | 06:10 |
| suigeneris | susundberg: gparted shows it mounted, but df doesn't list it | 06:10 |
| suigeneris | :S | 06:10 |
| susundberg | its removable stick? just unplug it count to 15 and replug it | 06:11 |
| BlackDalek | Does anyone know what mouse/button/key combination in LXDE desktop causes the desktop switcher to come up? | 06:14 |

| suigeneris | susundberg: http://imgur.com/QFfqZPa | 06:15 |
| susundberg | suigeneris: are you able to mount the usb disk? | 06:17 |
| suigeneris | susundberg: yes | 06:17 |
| suigeneris | susundberg: fdisk -l output: /dev/sdh1 * 2048 15132671 7565312 83 Linux | 06:18 |

| reisio | suigeneris: yup, as long as sdh doesn't have anything you care about on it, you're all set | 06:20 |
| suigeneris | I absolutely have no clue why the heck ubuntu started coughing on me yesterday in the first place | 06:21 |
| susundberg | suigeneris: my startup disk creator shows device as /dev/sdb1 -- note the 1 there, afaik the /dev/sdh means the full disk not partition | 06:21 |
| reisio | suigeneris: what'd you do yesterday? | 06:21 |

| ShawnMcCool | sorry if my questions seem a bit rudimentary, but is the top panel in ubuntu part of unity? i'm not sure where gnome ends and unity begins | 06:22 |
| reisio | ShawnMcCool: Unity is a reconfiguration _of GNOME_ | 06:22 |
| reisio | ShawnMcCool: you can't have one without the other | 06:22 |
| suigeneris | reisio: the computer froze, I rebooted and started getting messages like https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/11918318/Foto%2011.06.2013%2016%2017%2056.jpg | 06:23 |
| ShawnMcCool | i upgraded to gnome 3.8 in 13.04 and i really like the improvements, now i'm wondering what it'd be like to use the gnome shell instead of the default super behavior in ubuntu | 06:23 |
| reisio | ShawnMcCool: the way the menu items are up in the top bar is an Ubuntu hack, though, if that's what you're wondering | 06:23 |
| reisio | ShawnMcCool: try it and cease wondering :) | 06:23 |
| suigeneris | susundberg: it does, and my usb disk showed sdh1 | 06:24 |
| ShawnMcCool | yea, just trying to figure out what it means to do so and if i'd be breaking or gutting ubuntu | 06:24 |
| ShawnMcCool | trying to figure out if i'm better suited by another distro to do so or not | 06:24 |
| suigeneris | susundberg: but in dd, you need to use the disk, not partition | 06:24 |
| suigeneris | and dd finished | 06:24 |
| reisio | ShawnMcCool: IIRC you just install gnome-shell, log out, click on an icon and change it | 06:25 |
| suigeneris | wish me luck guys | 06:25 |
| Tex_Nick | BlackDalek: see if this helps ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KeyboardShortcuts | 06:25 |

| reisio | !notunity | 06:26 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 06:26 |
| ShawnMcCool | interesting, ok thanks | 06:26 |
| reisio | ShawnMcCool: 'gnome-shell' being GNOME 3's _ordinary shell_ (as opposed to Unity, an alternative shell) | 06:27 |
| reisio | if you're using Unity, you already have most of GNOME 3 installed | 06:27 |
| ShawnMcCool | thanks for the clarification, reisio | 06:27 |
| Tex_Nick | BlackDalek: also make sure the cursor is NOT in a panel or launcher when you use the mouse wheel | 06:27 |
| tskorte | Hello! I'm a little curious - will installing a lot of KDE libraries (dependencies when installing Dolphin) have anything else to say but diskspace use in Ubuntu? | 06:29 |
| reisio | tskorte: that's quite hard to parse | 06:30 |
| king_slayer | tskorte the system will be slow... | 06:30 |
| IdleOne | tskorte: they will take up some disk space of course, shouldn't affect performance really. | 06:31 |
| reisio | yes, if you run Dolphin with another DE, like GNOME, you'll have that many more processes going | 06:31 |
| reisio | because GNOME and KDE have all their own implementations of things | 06:31 |
| king_slayer | IdleOne: there are some kde daemons installed with those dependencies | 06:31 |
| Bluaoi | hello | 06:32 |
| king_slayer | happened to me, the system started to be slow since I was using a hibrid between kde/gnome | 06:32 |
| reisio | impossible to say whether you'd notice the difference, though; probably not on modern hardwaren | 06:32 |
| reisio | Bluaoi: hi | 06:32 |
| tskorte | Thanks, great answers! It all makes sense. | 06:32 |
| Bluaoi | im having a problem in ubuntu 13.04. after trying to install Gnome and it not working, then switching back to regular Ubuntu, my desktop doesnt work | 06:33 |
| Bluaoi | i see my wallpaper, i can use the 'side bar' and anything, and when i navigate to the folder for the desktop i see the stuff that should appear, but doesnt | 06:33 |
| BlackDalek | Tex_Nick, thanks. I worked it out and how to disable it here https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Lubuntu/Mouse For some reason it keeps doing it even when the mouse pointer is in an app like browser or trying to scroll through files etc. | 06:33 |
| tskorte | Too bad Kate and Dolphin are superior to gedit/nautilus :/ | 06:33 |
| Bluaoi | i cannot right click on the desktop either | 06:33 |
| reisio | tskorte: what bits of KDE do you not find superior? | 06:33 |
| reisio | Bluaoi: what happened when you tried to use 'GNOME'? | 06:34 |
| Bluaoi | i selected Gnome at the log-in screen, entered my password and it just stays black-screen | 06:34 |
| tskorte | reisio: The user interface. Personally, I think it's outdated. | 06:34 |
| Bluaoi | i can access TTY1-6 but nothing ever happens on 7 | 06:35 |
| reisio | tskorte: in what way? | 06:35 |
| Tex_Nick | BlackDalek: hey GREAT that you worked it out ... and thanks for that link, i'll put in my data base for future reference :-) | 06:35 |
| reisio | Bluaoi: huh, might check /var/log/Xorg*log for EE's | 06:36 |
| tskorte | reisio: Well, to be honest - KDE is my favorite DE to use when I'm programming but when I'm not I like a nice, easy UI to work with. If I could switch between KDE and Unity I would be in heaven - but I've tried and failed. | 06:36 |
| reisio | tskorte: on demand, you mean? | 06:37 |
| tskorte | reisio: Yah. | 06:37 |
| reisio | mmm, you should be able to, but obviously that's another can of worms | 06:37 |
| Bluaoi | reisio, i'm doing that right now :) | 06:37 |
| king_slayer | does kde have a "summary of windows" view as gnome 3?, I mean the view that shows all the windows when you press the windows key | 06:37 |
| tskorte | reisio: Also I feel that the whole toolbar/"start"-button setup is just boring. I like innovative design. | 06:38 |
| reisio | king_slayer: as text or thumbs? | 06:38 |
| king_slayer | the little windows | 06:38 |
| tskorte | Bluaoi: Running KDE and Unity? "hot"swapping between those at need? | 06:38 |
| Theri | The only way is just to log out and switch window managers there | 06:38 |
| king_slayer | this http://www.gnome.org/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/window-selection-3-8.png | 06:38 |
| reisio | king_slayer: yes, IIRC KDE had it first | 06:38 |
| Theri | I have KDE and it's awesome | 06:39 |
| reisio | king_slayer: the 'present windows' plugin for kwin | 06:39 |
| Bluaoi | reisio, no results (other than the 'key' at the top of the page) for (EE) in gedit for any of the xorg logs | 06:39 |
| tskorte | Yeah, it is but I feel to truly enjoy KDE you need a KDE specific distro (or arch etc.). Installing KDE besides Unity has just been a plethora of problems for me. | 06:39 |
| Bluaoi | tskorte, no, i just wanted to try gnome. | 06:40 |
| reisio | Bluaoi: mmm, you could try disabling the DM and starting GNOME directly and looking for errors :) | 06:40 |
| reisio | tskorte: well, it needn't be, if you want to keep it in mind for later | 06:41 |
| Bluaoi | reisio, how might i go about that? :) | 06:41 |

| tskorte | reisio: Do you know of some guide to setting it up? (sudo apt-get install kubuntu-desktop?) | 06:41 |

| TKing | tskorte_ thanks, but when i type the command it loads and return me to login | 07:05 |
| Jordan_U | thurstylark: Odd, I'm not sure why it's not working with the other path. Getting back to the original issue, you should be able to run "gksudo gedit /media/foo/etc/network/interfaces" (or your preffered editor) but I like the fact that sudoedit doesn't run the editor itself as root. | 07:05 |
| Bluaoi | reisio i turned 'Have file manager handle the desktop' to On and now my desktop is all Windows ME-ified... when i drag something it leaves an everlasting trail O_O | 07:06 |

| histo | TKing: files should be in /home/tking/Desktop/ | 07:26 |
| histo | TKing: check out your lightdm log files and /var/log/Xorg.0.log | 07:26 |
| TKing | reisio, i wasn't able to boot to desktop but | 07:27 |
| TKing | reisio, so i reinstalled ubuntu-desktop using ctrl+alr+f1 to go terminal and installed it | 07:27 |
| reisio | k | 07:27 |
| TKing | histo how do i check the logfiles and set things to lightdm | 07:28 |
| manolo | Hi ! Does somebody use Hotot ? Couldn't connect, upgraded it, and it still doesn't work. | 07:28 |
| histo | TKing: it should be set to lightdm unless you changed the default login manager to something like gdm,kdm, or slim | 07:28 |
| histo | TKing: /var/log/lightdm.log or /var/log/lightdm/.... I'm not ubuntu now to check but should be in there. | 07:29 |
| TKing | histo i changed it to gdm when installing gnome-shell but now i removed gnome | 07:29 |
| TKing | need the prompt to reset things to lightdm | 07:29 |
| histo | TKing: well look at gdm's logs then | 07:29 |
| Guest72069 | What are the best AMD drivers? | 07:30 |
| kaushal | Hi | 07:30 |
| reisio | kaushal: hi | 07:30 |

| thurstylark | I have a server, and I messed too much with the interfaces file and now I cannot connect to it. I need to access the interfaces file from another machine with the root drive hooked up as an external drive. I can mount the drive, but I cannot access the etc directory. everything I do results in a "Input/output error" can anyone help? | 07:31 |
| histo | thurstylark: how do you have it mounted? | 07:31 |
| histo | thurstylark: sudo mount /dev/of/external /to/some/path/user/has/write/to | 07:32 |
| thurstylark | histo: how: ubuntu mounted it automatically. Where: /media/[device id]/ | 07:33 |
| TKing | histo done sudo reconfigure lightdm and rebooted pc to see if it works? didn't work | 07:33 |
| histo | thurstylark: check your cable you shoulnd't be getting IO errors | 07:33 |
| histo | TKing: you could do that or figure out why GDM isn't working. | 07:33 |
| histo | TKing: at the login screen make sure you select the proper session of unity or gnome-shell or whatever DE you are using now. | 07:34 |
| kaushal | I have installed unity-pidgin-lens on ubuntu 13.04. Any clue on how to use it in dash? | 07:35 |
| thurstylark | histo: mmkay | 07:35 |
| histo | thurstylark: where are you seeing io errors in dmesg? | 07:36 |
| TKing | histo am wanting to use lightdm not gdm though? so i still need to check why GDM is not working right even if i do not need it? | 07:36 |
| TKing | histo my login screen has not options to be selected | 07:37 |
| thurstylark | histo: I try to run "sudoedit /media/[device id]/etc/networking/interfaces" in a terminal | 07:38 |
| TKing | histo i have gone to select all ppa in software updates and done sudo upgrade and its loading about 174mb space needed | 07:38 |
| djapo | running the dd command with no arguments does no harm right, acidently ran it in my etc/pam.d directory ... worried | 07:39 |
| histo | thrasher194: okay well edit isn't a command sudo nano /media/wherever/etc/network/inerfaces | 07:39 |
| histo | TKing: No don't figure out why gdm isn't working if you aren't going to use it. Did lightdm come up to the login screen? | 07:40 |
| shadowmancer | Hey all, so I think to save on typing here is my issue http://askubuntu.com/questions/307163/fresh-install-doesnt-appear-to-work, I was here last night and still fighting it | 07:41 |
| TKing | histo yes lightdm came up with login screen, also i noticed when i opened a folder all the icons for folders by the left are not displayed correctly like the icon image is missing a black icon with red * in the middle to represent i con of Home, Documents, Music, Computer folders etc | 07:42 |
| histo | shadowmancer: md5sum your installation media and your downloaded iso. | 07:43 |
| histo | TKing: So it logs into desktop what are you trying to fix now? I'm confused by the issue changing. | 07:43 |
| shadowmancer | histo: might if I ask how would I do that on the live disk | 07:45 |
| TKing | histo i can see everything on my computer but normally, i have folders saved on my desktop? but when i boot i cant see them no more and i can not right click on the desktop | 07:45 |
| histo | !md5sum | shadowmancer | 07:46 |
| ubottu | shadowmancer: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 07:46 |
| TKing | histo while its possible to browse to folders from file icon close to Unity Icon, i want to easily see things on my desktop when all windows are minimized and i can right click? that is my issue | 07:46 |
| Nafish | how can i find a text in vi editor when i am in server? | 07:46 |
| histo | TKing: so nautilus is not working? Nautilus should be what controls the desktop unless they switched to some other file manager. Do your files still exist in /home/username/Desktop ??? | 07:46 |
| histo | Nafish: / | 07:47 |
| TKing | histo yes my files exist there | 07:47 |
| Nafish | thanks histo | 07:47 |
| histo | TKing: ps aux | grep nautilus | 07:48 |
| manolo | Ok, so Turpial AND Hotot can't connect. Sad day for twitter clients :/ | 07:49 |
| AD7six | Hi, after just reinstalling 13.04 - I find that when I switch my monitors from 3 mirrors to 3 individual monitors the launcher and menu bar of unity disappears (infact all menu bars disappear). It looks like this http://ad7six.com/dump/unity-borked.png. This didn't happen when I upgraded from 12.04->12.10->13.04 previously. I've already tried `unity --distro` and deleting config files - the best this achieves is giving me 3 mirrored monitors. Where ... | 07:49 |
| AD7six | ... should I look to correct this error? | 07:49 |
| histo | TKing: or open a terminal and "nautilus &" see if that brings your icons back | 07:50 |
| histo | AD7six: possible resolution issue when this is happening? like stuff being of off the screen? Try seeing what xrandr is showing as your output res when it happens | 07:50 |
| kaushal | reisio: hi | 07:51 |
| reisio | hiyo | 07:51 |
| kaushal | Any clue to my query "have installed unity-pidgin-lens on ubuntu 13.04. Any clue on how to use it in dash? | 07:51 |

| CalimeroTeknik | say, can one use scripts or something to make ubuntu packages? | 07:55 |
| sIRwa2 | can anyone shed some insight on these weird characters? cp: cannot stat â/usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu/pangoâ: No such file or directory | 07:56 |
| armin | CalimeroTeknik: there's some package with tools in debian that will make this super easy for you. | 07:56 |
| Name141 | When should and shouldn't I have backports on ? | 07:56 |
| CalimeroTeknik | it's more "reproducible" that I'm looking for | 07:56 |
| CalimeroTeknik | write a package recipe | 07:56 |
| CalimeroTeknik | and reuse it for next version | 07:56 |
| CalimeroTeknik | or to build for different architectures | 07:57 |
| CalimeroTeknik | what would be the name of the package to do something like this, if any? (if none I'll just make package building scripts) | 07:58 |
| espartaco | olalaaaa | 07:58 |
| AD7six | histo: xrandr shows me exactly what I expect to see - there's nothing offscreen | 07:58 |
| espartaco | que tal estais ? | 07:58 |
| CalimeroTeknik | in fact the ubuntu wiki seems to point that there is some repository for contributing packages to ubuntu | 07:59 |
| CalimeroTeknik | however it seems so over-engineered | 08:01 |
| CalimeroTeknik | is it deb-helper you meant to talk about, armin? | 08:02 |
| shadowmancer | histo: both seem to match the checksums | 08:02 |
| AD7six | now.. my tty7 is just a blinking cursor - wooty | 08:02 |
| CalimeroTeknik | completely normal I'd say | 08:02 |
| CalimeroTeknik | most distributions have login shells on ttys 1 to 6 | 08:03 |
| CalimeroTeknik | and nothing on others | 08:03 |
| armin | CalimeroTeknik: devscripts | 08:04 |
| armin | CalimeroTeknik: includes rmadison, debuild and stuff like that. | 08:05 |
| CalimeroTeknik | but I only need something like makepkg | 08:05 |
| CalimeroTeknik | why all that stuff? | 08:05 |
| armin | CalimeroTeknik: if you know it fits your needs, carry on. no worries. | 08:06 |
| CalimeroTeknik | wait, makepkg is for arch linux | 08:06 |

| broMonrr | Help, Startup DIsk creator does not work on 13.04 , so how do I install 12.04 LTS if I can not create a USB boot drive with the ISO file? also I am not the only one getting the Erno5 error in out | 08:07 |
| CalimeroTeknik | I've precisely read that | 08:07 |
| CalimeroTeknik | there is nothing like a package recipe files in these pages | 08:07 |
| CalimeroTeknik | I don't understand even, *what* they say to push to a bzr repo | 08:07 |

| broMonrr | yes 13.04 is hell on earth | 08:11 |
| k1l_ | broMonrr: if your system is quite old or slow you can try another more lightmweight desktop like lxde (lubuntu) | 08:11 |
| broMonrr | k1l_: can not change distro because 13.04 will not Satrtup Disk Creator dont work | 08:12 |
| broMonrr | how to change to lxde ? | 08:12 |
| CalimeroTeknik | what are the specs of your machine? | 08:12 |

| CalimeroTeknik | histo, does that not find . and .. ? | 08:20 |
| aladdin | tskorte_: aha, she is smart :). did you go throug update process as well? it bugs me a lot with an update and fails to update. maybe it is because of worst internet connection all around australia hehe | 08:20 |
| Jordan_U | broMonrr: Be *very* careful with dd, as it will completely wipe whatever device you pass so you want to be sure you don't accidentally pass your internal hard drive or something else which still has data you want. | 08:21 |
| histo | CalimeroTeknik: SinnerNyx yeah if you "-type f" i typoed it up earlier | 08:21 |
| tskorte_ | aladdin: Yah, the update part bugged a lot. Got these "No network connection"-type errors. I just clicked "ok" and Steam was working :) | 08:21 |
| CalimeroTeknik | ah indeed. only files then, not folders | 08:21 |
| Jordan_U | histo: Please always accompany dd commands (and possibly dangerous commands in general) with a warning. | 08:21 |
| kupraset | hi yall | 08:22 |
| tskorte_ | broMonrr: Find your usb disk first with lsblk. Then check it again with lsblk /dev/<your usb device> to make sure you've got the right one. | 08:22 |
| broMonrr | look , if someone want to be an Ubuntu pro , answer this, why is it that so many people are having this In/Out error with usb Startup Disk Creator essentially making it impossible to create a USB boot drive with any other distro from within 13.04 ? simple question yes? | 08:22 |
| kupraset | has anyone problems with playing urban terror on ubuntu? | 08:22 |
| histo | !usb | broMonrr | 08:22 |
| ubottu | broMonrr: For information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 08:22 |
| histo | broMonrr: not too many people having issues. I don't use startup disk creator as you can just use dd as mentioned being carefull. | 08:23 |
| broMonrr | histo: no way , i have spent all day on line reseaching this issue and no one knows what is going on . | 08:23 |
| broMonrr | histo: have no idea what dd means | 08:23 |
| broMonrr | how to change from 13.04 to lubuntu from within 13.04 is we can not create a iso boot usb ? | 08:24 |
| histo | broMonrr: Please read the link from ubottu about the "proper" directions for creating a usb installation media | 08:24 |
| histo | broMonrr: sudo apt-get install lubuntu-desktop | 08:24 |
| k1l_ | broMonrr: again: isntall the lubuntu-desktop package | 08:24 |
| k1l_ | broMonrr: if you dont listen to the answers and just want to rant in here stop asking | 08:24 |
| broMonrr | k1l_: OH OK | 08:24 |
| broMonrr | so i type that into the teminal and get lubuntu ? | 08:25 |
| CalimeroTeknik | yeah, it's packages | 08:25 |
| k1l_ | you will get the more lightweight lubuntu desktop, yes | 08:25 |
| CalimeroTeknik | however it being a netbook I assume you have a single-core 1.6GHz proc and 1G ram | 08:25 |
| CalimeroTeknik | ubuntu isn't quite the thing for such machines | 08:25 |
| broMonrr | histo: hey man , i am serious , i read all that stuff already and lots of people getting this In/Out error not due to RAM but they seem to think thats its a RAM issue when its not . | 08:25 |
| broMonrr | CalimeroTeknik: i guess, maybe like 1.6 RAM or something | 08:26 |
| aladdin | tskorte_: yeah. cool. went okay this time. cheers | 08:26 |
| histo | broMonrr: if you are getting IO errors it's probably due to an issue with your device... e.g. it's going bad | 08:26 |
| tskorte_ | aladdin: Sweet, enjoy :) | 08:26 |
| k1l_ | CalimeroTeknik: stop that! ubuntu 13.04 runs fine on my 1st gen atom netbook | 08:26 |
| CalimeroTeknik | broMonrr, this is nonsense, what is 1.6 ram ? | 08:26 |
| broMonrr | CalimeroTeknik: its what i thought man sorry | 08:26 |
| CalimeroTeknik | okay but explain, what is 1.6 ram ? | 08:27 |
| Jordan_U | broMonrr: Please run "dmesg" in a terminal, copy and paste the output to http://pastebin.ubuntu.com, and post the link to the output here. | 08:27 |
| broMonrr | CalimeroTeknik: let me try this lubuntu, Hope my netbook isnt going to pot | 08:27 |
| histo | broMonrr: that is fine for ubuntu... however for more perfomance you can run ubuntu with a lighter de like lxde or xfce. lubuntu-desktop is lxde based xubuntu-desktop is xfce based. the choice is yours it's all free | 08:27 |

| phillustine | bekks and that popped up on your screen | 08:47 |
| ActionParsnip | boytoy: check the man page for kill | 08:47 |
| boytoy | ActionParsnip: I don't have access to it, I tried searching for it online | 08:47 |
| tskorte_ | I have this Asus EEEBox (1501P) with the ION2 chipset, I installed 13.04 and things are very slow. Is this due to the hardware of the box or is there perhaps a problem with the harddrive? (I've rund hd tests and they all went fine). Installed the Nvidia drivers as well. | 08:47 |
| llutz | boytoy: it sends those signals (USR1/2) to the process | 08:48 |
| bekks | phillustine: It didnt pop up, but it was displayed hilighted, in the normal flow of this channel, so I noticed it. | 08:48 |
| boytoy | llutz: Interesting | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest33987: what is the output of: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload | 08:48 |
| phillustine | aha. because it popped up on my screen? | 08:48 |
| phillustine | bekks: do you work in any ubuntu capacity? | 08:48 |
| boytoy | llutz: So those signals are only understood by the process then and has nothing to do with the kill or the OS? | 08:48 |
| llutz | boytoy: i.e. if you send USR1 to a running dd-process, it answers with a status output | 08:48 |
| bekks | phillustine: No. | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | boytoy: http://unixhelp.ed.ac.uk/CGI/man-cgi?kill you have access, the man pages are available online.... | 08:48 |
| phillustine | bekks: just a fan | 08:48 |
| ActionParsnip | boytoy: not thought of that? | 08:48 |
| boytoy | ActionParsnip: thank you | 08:49 |
| llutz | boytoy: well, not every process understands all those signals. so yes, its mainly process-dependend | 08:49 |
| boytoy | great, awesome | 08:49 |
| mac_ | hy all.. i have some sys crash.. only known issue is -> cant run gpart.. after password check.. nothing happens | 08:50 |
| llutz | boytoy: kill -HUP ... forces some processes to reread configs etc.pp. no general rule for those i guess | 08:50 |
| mac_ | please help | 08:50 |
| boytoy | llutz: hmm yeah.. | 08:51 |

| ActionParsnip | MonkeyDust: +1 | 08:57 |
| broMonrr | ActionParsnip: that did that by itself , i just formatted the usb in preparation to create a bootable usb using Starupdisk Creator | 08:58 |
| histo | broMonrr: that looks like you have the usb installer mounted.. I though you were trying to fix your drive? | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | broMonrr: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 08:58 |
| broMonrr | no i am trying to create a 12.04 distro install usb and it put those folders on there why ? | 08:58 |
| broMonrr | why did Ubuntu put those folderso on my usb drive | 08:58 |
| broMonrr | boot /casper etc/... | 08:58 |
| Jordan_U | broMonrr: Could you please run "dmesg" in a terminal and pastebin the output? | 08:58 |
| broMonrr | wait | 08:59 |
| k1l_ | broMonrr: that is needed for the live-usb-system to work. | 08:59 |
| TKing | Joran_U can u give example of ppa-purge? is it like ppa ubuntu-name.com/subdirectory | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | broMonrr: try using unetbootin, those files you see are what makes the liveUSB work | 09:00 |

| broMonrr | dmesg | 09:00 |

| TKing | ActionParnship? there is nothing like restore to older date in Ubuntu? | 09:00 |

| === KindTwo is now known as KindOne | ||

| MonkeyDust | broMonrr you can use it to install 13.04 | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | TKing: the link in your pastebin has a section called "Uninstalling Gnome 3.8" did you see it | 09:01 |
| broMonrr | MonkeyDust: i think thats what i already did | 09:01 |
| phillustine | Does anyone here use their Ubuntu knowledge in any professional capacity? | 09:01 |

| ActionParsnip | broMonrr: the source doesnt matter in any way, as long as the hash matches then it is fine | 09:03 |

| reisio | oddie-: what've you got in there? | 09:09 |
| Jordan_U | oddie-: Uninstall old kernel packages. Why do you have a separate /boot/ partition at all? | 09:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Agd_Scorp it's backtrack, that's not supported here | 09:09 |
| Agd_Scorp | backtrack runs ubuntu | 09:09 |
| oddie- | thx all | 09:09 |
| Agd_Scorp | and i am in #ubuntu | 09:09 |

| Agd_Scorp | its outdated now | 09:09 |
| Agd_Scorp | :( | 09:09 |
| shadowmancer | Agd_Scorp: backtrack isn't ubuntu, it has similarities but is not ubuntu | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: backtrack is not supported here. Lucid is also EOL on the desktop so using it is a futile exercise | 09:10 |
| tskorte_ | Agd_Scorp: Try rfkill unblock all | 09:10 |
| Agd_Scorp | tskorte_, i did | 09:10 |
| DJones | Agd_Scorp: Backtrack isn't a supported version of Ubuntu, its only supported in its own channel | 09:10 |
| Agd_Scorp | it doesn't work | 09:10 |

| MonkeyDust | Agd_Scorp wrong channel | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: you aren't using ubuntu, so not supported here | 09:10 |
| Agd_Scorp | #backtrack-linux is closed. | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: then ask in #freenode for why | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: ubuntu is based on Debian, but if you ask for ubuntu support in #debian you will be supported here | 09:11 |
| Agd_Scorp | but any idea | 09:11 |
| DJones | Agd_Scorp: Please join #freenode to find out how you can connect and talk in the backtrack channel | 09:11 |
| Agd_Scorp | how can i fix this | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: you are CLEARY new to the OS so why not start with a distro with a bit more support and uses the OS right, at least ti you become familiar with the OS | 09:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Agd_Scorp consider installing ubuntu, instead of backtrack, you'll get much more support | 09:11 |
| broMonrr | so I just decided to download a new iso for 12.04 lts. and do i still need to do a md5 sum on it anyway ? everytime i gotta do this ? in terminal i type the command for md5 sum and the path to the iso and it will tell me the sum, but then what ? what do i compare the sum to? am still confused sue to lack of understanding | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: you aren't supported here | 09:11 |
| DJones | Agd_Scorp: Please stop asking here, this channel only deals with support queries for the official versions of Ubuntu | 09:11 |
| MonkeyDust | Agd_Scorp and ubuntu is more userfriendly than backtrack | 09:12 |

| Jordan_U | broMonrr: I have no idea why that's happening, but you can always copy and paste the URL into the browser. | 09:14 |
| shadowmancer | ubottu: been there and confirmed the md5 is right | 09:14 |
| broMonrr | Jordan_U: maybe becausee i got a download going on . i cant click links on here anymore they open this abiword thing | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: I suggest you install precise, you will benefit from the huge Ubuntu community rather than the tiny backtrack one | 09:15 |
| Jordan_U | broMonrr: Let's stick with one problem at a time. Just copy and paste the URL into your browser to work around that issue for now. | 09:16 |

| SteveBell | morning, I'm trying to setup shared access to an ex hdd I have connected to ubuntu. so I installed samba and enabled folder sharing in the file manager for that drive. trying to access that drive from os x results in: I can copy files from that drive. I can play them (so access is fine) but I can't delete them from OS X. it says the file would be in use. any ideas what I can do about that? | 09:18 |
| shadowmancer | this issue is kinda getting me bummed cause i've never had an issue with a ubuntu distro yet, and now i can't even run it, and this laptop is a backup which had windows fall over and die and i thought ubuntu would save it | 09:18 |
| Agd_Scorp | shadowmancer; breath, bro, breath. | 09:19 |
| data | hi, i have a problem with mouse cursors in gtk applications, or so I currently think. They just don't appear, only in certain kinds of applications. T I have changed cursor themes and am at a loss | 09:19 |
| shadowmancer | Agd_Scorp: coming from the dude who kept single lining, flooding the place, and freaking out going i need this solved now and all this stuff :P | 09:19 |
| mac_ | hy all.. my gnome looks like ubuntu 2d panel... any ideas? | 09:19 |
| mac_ | plase prvt msg me | 09:20 |
| SteveBell | also I can copy files over to the target drive fine as well. so all that'S missing to make me happy is the ability to delete files on the target drive from OS X. | 09:20 |
| Agd_Scorp | shadowmancer; I'm going on a vacation, so my problem had to be solved. | 09:20 |
| Kartagis | susundberg: at last I was able to reinstall ubuntu (suigeneris here) | 09:21 |
| shadowmancer | Agd_Scorp: and I have been working at this issue for 3 days, have next to no computer except for the fact that I am using a live usb, and have a 500gig hdd which is essentially just storage as I can't use it with ubuntu. I can technically do my studies on it, but I would like to not rely on the usb | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: its still not supported here | 09:22 |
| broMonrr | Jordan_U: so when i go to do step 2 , from my terminal within the Download directory , the command that i run is "md5sum ubuntu-whatever distro.iso" ? is this correct or is the exaample provided corect ? | 09:22 |
| shadowmancer | Agd_Scorp: I am not being condescending or saying your issue is smaller then mine | 09:22 |
| SteveBell | scratch that. just managed to delete a file. so all seems to be fine. sry for the noise. | 09:22 |
| shadowmancer | Agd_Scorp: I am just saying that we all have issues | 09:22 |
| ActionParsnip | shadowmancer: none here :) | 09:22 |
| aladdin | possible to remove movie player? and how to? i did sudo remove pkg movie player | 09:22 |
| shadowmancer | ActionParsnip: hahaha well I was being philosophical smarty pants :P | 09:23 |
| SteveBell | correction: this is a little flakey. could delete one file but not another. so maybe a rights issue? | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: I suggest you wipe out what you have and do a clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 i is LTS and supported til April 2017, it will also give you ful Ubuntu community support | 09:23 |
| Jordan_U | broMonrr: You run "md5sum name-of-iso-file.iso" | 09:23 |
| mac_ | can any1 please help me out over my ubuntu 12.04 lts? | 09:23 |
| DJones | mac_: Just explaion your problem in details in the channel, that way you get the benefit of multiple users able to offer help and if its a problem affecting more than just you, others can learn as well | 09:23 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: why did you install backtrack? | 09:23 |
| broMonrr | Jordan_U: ok | 09:23 |

| broMonrr | Jordan_U: am downloading a new iso from verified link now | 09:24 |
| mac_ | i dont know how... | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | Agd_Scorp: I see, then you will still need to ask in the backtrack / kali / whatever channels | 09:24 |
| ActionParsnip | mac_: how do you do it in Windows? | 09:24 |

| Ben64 | jazzkutya: 4k sectors have been supported for a long time | 10:47 |
| shadowmancer | still can | 10:47 |
| shadowmancer | not get past the kernel panic stage | 10:47 |
| shadowmancer | anyone have any idea how to get grub2 when you use the debug command to save the output | 10:48 |
| jazzkutya | Ben64: please note 4k logical sectors, not physical | 10:48 |
| jazzkutya | 4k alignment of partitions is not enough | 10:48 |
| Guest59180 | I installed ubuntu 13.04 to sda2, and I can see the ext4 filesystem but I can't boot into it because there are no options at boot. So I ran boot-repair from the liveUSB and it says to enable a repository containing grub2 packages in the sources of Ubuntu (sda2). | 10:49 |
| Ben64 | jazzkutya: what do you mean | 10:49 |
| Guest59180 | what do I do? | 10:49 |
| jazzkutya | Ben64: advanced format drives use 4k physical sectors but report logical sector size as 512bytes. this is good for compatibility | 10:49 |
| Ben64 | ok, still works fine | 10:50 |
| jazzkutya | Ben64: now usb hdd manufacturers for supporting windows xp went for dropping this 512byte sector size compatibility | 10:50 |
| Gorilla_No_Baka | hello everyone .. Quick question : I want to add some more wallpapers to my 'buntu.. but for some reason the wallpaper "changer" refuzes to see them.. wallpapers added in /usr/share/backgrounds, /usr/share/doc/ubuntu-wallpapers,/usr/share/doc/ubuntu-wallpapers-raring and no joy.. when i go Right-click on desktop > select "Change Desktop Background" under the Wallpaper section the custom wallpapers i aded are nowhere to be seen ... Any ideas guys? C | 10:50 |
| jazzkutya | and they report logical sector size of 4k which is not supported by older linux (but still supporting advanced format drives) | 10:50 |
| jazzkutya | Ben64: still my question is: since what version are they supported? | 10:51 |
| Guest59180 | I installed ubuntu 13.04 to sda3, and I can see the ext4 filesystem but I can't boot into it because there are no options at boot. So I ran boot-repair from the liveUSB and it says to enable a repository containing grub2 packages in the sources of Ubuntu (sda3). | 10:51 |
| contrapunctus | Gorilla_No_Baka - Try copying them all to a folder in your home, see if that helps. | 10:51 |
| Guest59180 | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5757801/ | 10:51 |
| Ben64 | jazzkutya: a long time ago | 10:52 |
| contrapunctus | Gorilla_No_Baka - Although in your case this might not help - when I used this all the wallpapers were in other partitions, and apparently the partitions were auto mounted after the wallpaper changer looked for the files, so this fixed things. | 10:52 |
| jazzkutya | Ben64: thanks for trying but it seems you can't help me | 10:53 |

| Guest59180 | yes | 10:57 |
| Nimble | what happens? | 10:57 |
| Guest59180 | it updates normally | 10:58 |
| Nimble | you don't get any 404 messages? | 10:58 |
| Guest59180 | nope | 10:58 |

| Guest59180 | nah, I used to use the US server all the time in my previous install | 11:06 |

| Nimble | or for the live session sources.list? | 11:06 |
| Nimble | or on your installation of ubuntu? | 11:07 |
| Guest59180 | no, in the setings of this ubuntu running in a liveUSB | 11:07 |
| Nimble | oh ok | 11:07 |
| Nimble | I think it does a chroot to your installation | 11:07 |
| Guest59180 | yeah, seemed like that to me too | 11:07 |

| monk | bazhang, yeah...why does ubuntu push unity? its crap | 11:23 |
| bazhang | !notunity | monk have a read and a change | 11:24 |
| ubottu | monk have a read and a change: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 11:24 |

| shadowmancer | is there anyway I can upgrade all the packages on my hdd from the liveusb (as in i bootup on a live usb, and somehow run sudo apt-get upgrade) I have tried through chroot though that didn't seem to work | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | shadowmancer: if you chroot you can manipulate the installed OS, if you just run it without chroot you will upgrade the live USB | 11:45 |
| Jordan_U | shadowmancer: Yes, but you'll probably need to bind mount /dev/ /proc/ /sys/ and /dev/pts/ within the chroot, and you'll have problems with upstart trying to upgrade some packages in a chroot on older version of Ubuntu (I don't remember which release fixed that). | 11:45 |

| tocacar | Hello all. I'm having a hell of a time trying to figure out permissions in my Ubuntu 12.04 VM. I hope someone can help me. I ssh into my VM and have, as an example, a /cache directory: | 12:11 |

| === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x | ||

| CalimeroTeknik | that'd good | 12:15 |
| CalimeroTeknik | +be | 12:15 |
| tocacar | I did, but it doesn't make any difference :( | 12:16 |
| bgardner | tocacar: Where did you change it? | 12:16 |
| CalimeroTeknik | how did you? | 12:16 |
| CalimeroTeknik | type umask | 12:16 |
| CalimeroTeknik | you'll see | 12:17 |
| tocacar | I did it in... one sec and I'll find it | 12:17 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: when I type umask I get 0002 | 12:17 |
| CalimeroTeknik | perfect then, your files will be created with rights rw rw r | 12:17 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: but I need directories to have those permissions, and currently they don't | 12:18 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: If I have this directory: | 12:18 |
| tocacar | drwxrwxrwx 1 vagrant vagrant 102 Jun 12 12:07 cache/ | 12:18 |
| CalimeroTeknik | well that should work as well | 12:18 |
| tocacar | and create /dev inside it, I get this: | 12:18 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: drwxr-xr-x 1 vagrant vagrant 68 Jun 12 12:07 dev/ | 12:18 |
| CalimeroTeknik | it's a bad idea to set rights 777 on a directory. | 12:18 |
| CalimeroTeknik | well… if it's like /tmp it's fine | 12:19 |
| tocacar | I know, but its just a development VM for me. And I need my webserver to be able to write to the /cache and /log directories | 12:19 |
| CalimeroTeknik | type umask and check it outputs 0002 ; then right after, mkdir something | 12:19 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: I did that. I've posted the results here already for you | 12:19 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: and when I type 'whoami' I get 'vagrant'... | 12:20 |
| CalimeroTeknik | here tocacar, look: http://sprunge.us/YAcA | 12:21 |

| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: I'm getting exactly the same output as you. Now I'll do it in my application directory and see if the same happens there. One sec | 12:23 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: in /tmp, I get this: drwxrwxr-x 2 vagrant vagrant 4096 Jun 12 12:22 test/ | 12:24 |

| CalimeroTeknik | praveen___, you can access your windows partition's contents in the file manager | 12:27 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: are you familiar with vagrant at all? its a config setting in the Vagrantfile that lets you share a folder: config.vm.synced_folder "/Library/WebServer/Documents", "/var/www", id: "vagrant-root" | 12:28 |
| jony_easyrider | histo, but it wont give me IP... it's DHCP server is disabled | 12:28 |

| tocacar | histo: when I do 'touch filename' nothing happens, I just get another command prompt | 12:29 |
| CalimeroTeknik | this is virtualbox FS sharing, I see. it seems it uses the umask on the host. | 12:29 |
| tocacar | CalimeroTeknik: so I should change my umask on my Mac? OK, I'll do that now. One sec | 12:29 |
| tocacar | (I'm going to be sooo pleased if you've just fixed this for me!!) | 12:30 |
| CalimeroTeknik | be sure to change it for virtualbox | 12:30 |
| histo | tocacar: now ls -l filename to see it's permissions | 12:30 |
| tocacar | histo: it comes out as: -rwxrwsr-x 1 vagrant vagrant 141 Jun 12 12:28 AppCache.php* | 12:31 |

| Agd_Scorp | um. | 12:41 |
| Agd_Scorp | o.O | 12:41 |
| tocacar | :) I'll try your suggestions now | 12:41 |

| Agd_Scorp | ah | 12:43 |
| tocacar | Agd_Scorp: I tried to give the vagrant user the same uid as my Mac user id, but it wouldn't let me | 12:43 |

| praveen___ | Agd_Scorp: sir i am not able to figure out your suggetion | 12:44 |
| tocacar | Agd_Scorp: yep, same 'operation denied' output | 12:44 |
| Agd_Scorp | praveen___: what's your problem? :) | 12:45 |
| llutz | "echo 0 | sudo tee /selinux/enforce" redirection and sudo won't work | 12:45 |
| tocacar | I'm going to throw this Vagrant manifest away and generate another one using the NFS shared folder type and see if that makes any difference. | 12:45 |
| tocacar | llutz: I'll give that a bash now quickly | 12:45 |
| tocacar | llutz: that said: 0 | 12:46 |
| llutz | tocacar: sure it did, "man tee" to see what it also did | 12:46 |
| Agd_Scorp | tocacar: this problem occurs is when your webserver does not the permission to write in the folder to which the project belongs, actually changing the owner of cache & logs does not always help, because you may want to run some tests or console commands, which are executed from your user (php-cli/phpfprm), as a result, cache or logs will be created from your current user and web-server user will not have access to it. | 12:46 |
| Agd_Scorp | my proposition is either to add web-server user (which is probably www-data) to your user group or run web-server from your user and you'll forget such problem forever. | 12:47 |
| Agd_Scorp | try to run these: | 12:47 |
| Agd_Scorp | rm -rf app/cache/* | 12:47 |
| Agd_Scorp | rm -rf app/logs/* | 12:47 |
| Agd_Scorp | sudo chmod +a "_www allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs | 12:47 |
| Agd_Scorp | sudo chmod +a "`whoami` allow delete,write,append,file_inherit,directory_inherit" app/cache app/logs | 12:47 |
| tocacar | Agd_Scorp: I already made sure that www-data was in the group 'vagrant' | 12:47 |
| tocacar | ok, I'll try that now | 12:47 |

| Zippsiter54 | meet: because it allocates in 64bit chunks If I'm correct. Double check that though. | 13:24 |
| frojnd | Here is my master.cf file: http://sprunge.us/XFJi | 13:24 |
| SwedeMike | meet: http://blog.tune-up.com/windows-insights/32-bit-vs-64-bit-more-bit-more-performance/ "All memory addresses are now 64 bits long instead of 32 bits. This results in a larger memory footprint for Windows and applications. We've seen 64-bit versions of Windows Vista and 7 taking up 200-350 Mbyte more RAM than 32-bit versions." | 13:25 |
| econdudeawesome | Howdy everyone. I am using zipinfo and piping the output to grep to find a specific pattern. How would I also get this to print the file name when matches are found (and NOT when matches are not found)? | 13:25 |
| meet | but then performance wise they are same ..right? | 13:25 |
| GunArm | Guest18299: i dont see that option in my gchat windows. maybe the standalone has some proprietary functionality. But sending files through IM has been shady for a decade. even when it's "supported" (rarely) I expect it to fail 9 times out of 10. Sorry. It's amazing that in 2013 direct sending files is still a hassle. Your best bet is to share it off cloud storage, (assuming its too big to email) | 13:26 |
| econdudeawesome | What I have so far: for i in $(ls *.zip); do zipinfo $i | grep "2000"; done | 13:26 |
| Zippsiter54 | meet: 64bit is usually faster by ~10%. In 32bit you have PAE so it usually evens out. | 13:26 |
| Zippsiter54 | frojnd: do it what it tells you to do. Add the '='. | 13:27 |
| SwedeMike | meet: from what I've read, some 32bit apps are quicker than 64bit, and some the other way around. It depends. | 13:27 |

| ubottu | meet: AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. Consider using 64-bit if your memory ussage exceeds 4GB. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 13:27 |
| SwedeMike | meet: http://askubuntu.com/questions/7034/what-is-the-difference-between-32-bit-and-64-bit-and-which-should-i-choose says for instance that since 64bit has a larger memory footprint, you get more cache misses, thus lower performance. | 13:28 |

| SteveBell | damnit! my harddrive took a dive from my table. it sounds like all is good but is there a way to test an ext2 drive for failure in ubuntu 12.04? | 13:30 |
| Sovereign | Hi, I have installed a wireless printer Lexmark Prospect Pro205 it was assigned an ip but will not print on 12.04 | 13:30 |
| GunArm | meet: the times when 64 bit is "faster" are too technically nuanced and complex to get hot and bothered over. Mostly imagine they are more or less the same, but 64 bit is the only way to use modern quantities of RAM | 13:30 |
| histo | !fsck | SteveBell | 13:30 |
| ubottu | SteveBell: fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 13:30 |
| econdudeawesome | histo: within the zip files only, and when a pattaern match occurs I'd like to knwo the zip files name | 13:30 |
| Zippsiter54 | meet: there's no such thing as wasting RAM - if you have extra RAM the kernel uses it. see:http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | 13:31 |
| meet | Zippsiter54: even if it is 32 bit? | 13:31 |
| histo | econdudeawesome: ask in ##linux as we are getting way offtopic for this channel. But you may want to look into using awk | 13:31 |

| sdf | how lame | 13:32 |
| Zippsiter54 | 32bit it will allocate upto the 32bit'th address or more if using PAE. If you have 6GB throw a 64bit kernel onto your machine. | 13:32 |
| Zippsiter54 | *it | 13:32 |

| histo | !notunity | sdf | 13:34 |
| ubottu | sdf: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. | 13:34 |

| Orochikaku | Yes | 15:05 |
| Doobie420 | and you currently run ubuntu or windows? | 15:05 |
| Orochikaku | Windows. | 15:05 |

| Orochikaku | So Doobie420 can you help me with partitioning it? | 15:07 |
| Doobie420 | i was under the impression that pendrivelinux handled everything and didn't have any partition prompts | 15:08 |

| Orochikaku | dang, I just want a simple secure drive as far as I understand all I have to do is sellect the drive format it, +a encryption ,+ a / directory in ext 4, + a 2GB swap partition, 10GB tmp in ext4. in that order all primary except tmp? | 15:10 |

| Doobie420 | you should encrypt everything except your /boot, inside the encryption should be your /, /home, and swap. i'm not sure what the purpose of a separate /tmp would be | 15:12 |
| mattaf123 | i've been reading up on .bashrc and .bash_profile, but there's one thing that's mentioned several places yet never explained. currently i have only one line in my .bashrc which sources my .bash_profile. this has been working fine for me. however, i've read several places that you should only source .bashrc from .bash_profile and never the other way around. anyone know why? | 15:12 |

It's an Iphone 3 and 4 | 15:17 |
| kurcina | ok got it ty an bay | 15:17 |
| genii | kurcina: Because you installed the proprietary drivers, you will need to keep your first card in long enough to uninstall those first. Then the xorg.conf won't have the wrong driver line in it. After removing the proprietary driver, shut down, swap card, boot, install nvidia driver | 15:18 |
| DJones | !alis | BabyCat: Not really an Ubuntu question, however the alis bot may help you find the right channel to ask in, | 15:18 |
| ubottu | BabyCat: Not really an Ubuntu question, however the alis bot may help you find the right channel to ask in,: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 15:18 |
| kurcina | i will unistall driver, restart, shutdown, pull out card place new, power on, install new, restart | 15:19 |
| kurcina | BabyCat: i think it hes to do you turning you wifi constant on | 15:19 |

| MonkeyDust | TKing uefi is a pain for linux, blame microsoft for it | 16:16 |
| Jordan_U | TKing: Try disabling "Fast Boot" if it's enabled. You can also use grub to boot from an external drive, though if your only way of booting successfully is via grub on the internal drive you'll have to be careful about re-installing. | 16:16 |
| TKing | MonkeyDust, seriously if i talk about how i remove windows 8, i would cry now! I tried to dualboot | 16:16 |
| TKing | Jordan_U how do i boot from external drive using grup? | 16:16 |
| MonkeyDust | TKing removing windows would not change uefi | 16:17 |
| MonkeyDust | TKing uefi is the pain, not ubuntu | 16:17 |
| Jordan_U | TKing: What OS are you trying to boot from the external drive? | 16:18 |
| TKing | MonkeyDust, true i removed windows8 and cant install it back no matter what, cos i formated all drives even catche drive? that is how i ignored windows and moved to ubuntu only.. but now i cant access bios with F2 unless i do escape and grub menu shows up | 16:18 |

| k1l | !info firefox | 16:24 |

| gurtejpsingh | sorry about that | 16:37 |
| cak099 | just ask the question if someone can help they will | 16:37 |
| Jordan_U | TKing: Then given that there are three drives, one of them is probably the CD/DVD. Did "ls -l" list anything with an iso9660 filesystem? | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | gurtejpsingh that's the easiest way | 16:37 |
| k1l | gurtejpsingh: you have no problem with ubuntu, you have a problem with reading what people are suggesting to you | 16:37 |
| gurtejpsingh | Well Monkeydust I do understand your solution sir | 16:37 |
| accc | gurtejpsingh: then use the ubuntu software center | 16:38 |
| MonkeyDust | gurtejpsingh simply enter it in a terminal and see what happens :) | 16:38 |
| gurtejpsingh | but I was just wondering how to do it manually | 16:38 |
| TKing | Jorda_U smallest in size is hd0 sizes is 8116416 sectors with all drives showing no known filesystem detected | 16:38 |
| accc | u dont do it, u give the command and the package manager do it | 16:38 |
| gurtejpsingh | I think (I'm not sure) the solution you are providing will only be applicable to software otherwise available in the ubuntu software central | 16:38 |
| k1l | gurtejpsingh: manually is not supported since you dont get automatic updates. | 16:38 |
| MonkeyDust | gurtejpsingh copy that command and paste it in a terminal, there's no simpler way | 16:39 |
| k1l | gurtejpsingh: so stop making the drama here | 16:39 |
| TKing | Jordan_U that case hd0 is the bootable usb i guess | 16:39 |
| gurtejpsingh | Okay let me put it this way | 16:39 |
| gurtejpsingh | suppose my friend has compiled a .tar.bz2 file | 16:39 |
| Jordan_U | TKing: You've said that it's a LiveCD and you've said that it's a LiveUSB; Which is it? | 16:40 |
| gurtejpsingh | how do i install that | 16:40 |
| MonkeyDust | gurtejpsingh start with the basics | 16:40 |
| gurtejpsingh | do i still use the sudo-apt install xxx command | 16:40 |
| th0r | gurtejpsingh: then he would be the only one who could tell you how to install it | 16:40 |
| TKing | Jordan_U sorry its a Live USB pc didn't come with CD ROM i use the term interchangably | 16:41 |
| gurtejpsingh | If he has compiled it with a install.txt file ? | 16:41 |
| MonkeyDust | gurtejpsingh ask your friend how to install it | 16:41 |
| genii | gurtejpsingh: tar.bz2 and similar are just an archive. Whatever's in them is whatever the creator put in there. Could be binary files could be source code, could be anything. So you need to contact who created it to find out how to use what they put in there. | 16:41 |
| Jordan_U | TKing: OK, how did you create the liveUSB? | 16:42 |
| k1l | gurtejpsingh: software code comes with a readme most times. read that or aasak the one who gave you the code | 16:42 |
| MonkeyDust | gurtejpsingh why do you want to use a tar file, if there's a much easier way? it makes no sense | 16:42 |

| Greygan | OK, I simply reinstalled the Gnome shell and I am running again. But still would like to know what might have caused this. I noticed when rebooting it was showing UbuntuKylin I am running the Gnome release of Ubuntu 13.04. Where did Kylin come from??? | 16:47 |
| Jordan_U | TKing: Can you post a picture (with a camera) of "ls -l", or at least try to be more careful in correctly transcribing the output of plain "ls"? | 16:47 |

| Jordan_U | TKing: Possibly, or possibly (hd1,gpt1). Try running "insmod part_msdos" then run "ls -l" again and you should see any partitions on (hd0) listed. If the USB drive is using an msdos label then that might explain why your firmware has some trouble booting from it. | 17:01 |

| kaddi | hi? How do I download an album form amazon with ubuntu? Is there a way to use the amz files? | 17:41 |
| yebyen | is that because barriers are the default now? | 17:41 |

| deadmund | Is there a linux equivalent of MS libraries or OS X labels ( new name: tags ) ? | 18:04 |
| Mage_Dude | dryicebomb: No go. State still closed. And oddly after rebooting the tables were clear even after doing iptables-save | 18:05 |
| Greygan | sere: is that the software updater? if so I am using the default in Gnome. | 18:06 |
| sere | Greygan: it manages aplications like to install, remove... a few are dpkg (command like), synaptic, software-center (default in gnome i believe) | 18:06 |
| dryicebomb | Mage_Dude: so it just shows accept all then? then it should be accepting anything that is listening. is there a tftp server running? | 18:06 |
| Mage_Dude | dryicebomb: Connecting from localhost works fine. Any remote client (still in same network) cannot | 18:07 |
| Mage_Dude | Yup, shows ACCEPT anywhere and DESTINATION anywhere with udp dpt:tftp | 18:08 |
| Greygan | sere: it is just calling it "Software Updater" not sure how to get more info on it. | 18:09 |
| Mage_Dude | I could see if maybe it was a forwarding issue, but the port should still be open when scanning it. | 18:09 |

| dryicebomb | Mage_Dude: the second line in your paste is the issue, that python process is only listening from the local machine, its not accepting connections from the outside. there must be a config file somewhere to change to fix that, but i'm not sure, i don't have much experience with that maas stuff | 18:17 |
| Greygan | sere: That command gave me a MASSIVE amount of output that I can not select all of... | 18:17 |

| kboodu | TKing: Grub is for partitioning. You'll still need to do a "mkfs" as root if you're doing it from the command line. | 18:20 |

| qwebirc95415 | 's my problem | 18:23 |
| Greygan | sere: I removed dconf editor via the ubuntu software center. looks like it removed my gnome-shell as well | 18:23 |
| qwebirc95415 | when I restart Ubuntu, it asks me for a username and password. Just pressing enter doesn't work | 18:24 |
| dryicebomb | Eagleman7: I've found this, its an rsync like application for cloud sync, I've never tried or used it personally, and the project appears to no longer be updated, but maybe it will work for you. https://code.google.com/p/cloudfiles-sync/wiki/Instructions | 18:25 |
| sere | Greygan: i believe that a dconf editor dependency of gnome | 18:26 |
| Greygan | sere: yup looks like it. still not sure about kylin but o'well I am however left with 1 problem. My login screen is no longer using a mirrored display configuration. do you know how to get that back or at least switch the login's default monitor. | 18:28 |
| Jordan_U | TKing: OK, then hd0 is the drive you want, and your computer might successfully boot from it if it used a GPT label rather than an msdos label, but to boot it from grub just run "root=(hd0,msdos1); configfile /boot/grub/grub.cfg". | 18:29 |
| sere | Greygan: im trying to locate the kylin distro package in my repo but its nowhere to be found which makes me think that the reason why your getting the kylin on your login screen is it created a sym link for kylin when gnome-shell was installed | 18:30 |
| Greygan | sere: the kylin logo on shutdown was there from the moment gnome-shell was removed. b4 the reinstall | 18:31 |

| Jordan_U | TKing: Please post a screenshot of the command and output. | 18:34 |

| tgm4883 | Eagleman7, I'm sorry, I thought it had something to do with cloud files since you said you wanted to sync a local folder to cloud files | 18:41 |
| tgm4883 | <Eagleman7> tgm4883, i want to sync a local folder with rackspace cloud files, which is impossible to do, been trying it for a few days | 18:42 |
| tgm4883 | I suppose I misunderstood what that meant, which apparently is that you don't want to sync a local folder with rackspace cloud files | 18:42 |
| Eagleman7 | i do | 18:42 |
| Eagleman7 | tgm4883, so what is he doing in that example? | 18:43 |
| sere | Greygan: ahh found it :) ubuntukylin-default-settings | 18:43 |
| tgm4883 | Eagleman7, it would appear that he is rsyncing a local directory to cloud files | 18:43 |
| tgm4883 | Eagleman7, but I've not done that, so I'm just guessing based on what I skimmed | 18:44 |
| root__ | join /themindbenders | 18:44 |
| * tgm4883 doesn't use rackspace cloud files | 18:44 | |
| Eagleman7 | tgm4883 ok he is not doing that at all, he is rsyncing to another server, not cloud files | 18:44 |
| qwebirc95415 | So, when I boot up into Ubuntu Live USB, it's asking for a username and password. I've never set any username and password. Simply pressing Enter doesn't work. Neither does 'ubuntu'. Any ideas? | 18:45 |
| kaddi | hi? How do I download an album form amazon with ubuntu? Is there a way to use the amz files? | 18:45 |
| sere | Greygan: lets try to remove the kylin but check the output and make sure it doesnt delete anything else before you hit yes | 18:45 |
| OerHeks | qwebirc95415, name: ubuntu pass: <empty> i think | 18:46 |
| sere | Greygan: sudo apt-get remove ubuntukylin-default-settings | 18:46 |
| tgm4883 | Eagleman7, I've not read all the backlog, but I see 2 projects that say they can do that | 18:46 |
| qwebirc95415 | OerHeks - that doesn't work. It shows me some red error messages. | 18:46 |

| tgm4883 | Eagleman7, you could also mount cloud files locally, then use rsync http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/mounting-rackspace-cloud-files-to-linux-using-cloudfuse | 18:48 |
| friendlyfoe | does ubuntu have a cli only version cant find a link anywhere | 18:50 |
| sere | Greygan: sudo apt-get remove ubuntukylin-theme .. is that installed? | 18:50 |
| tgm4883 | friendlyfoe, you want ubuntu server | 18:50 |
| DJones | !text | friendlyfoe | 18:50 |
| ubottu | friendlyfoe: To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 18:50 |
| friendlyfoe | oh so just remove the gui? | 18:50 |
| tgm4883 | friendlyfoe, I would just install ubuntu server, then add on what you need from there | 18:51 |
| friendlyfoe | ah thnx | 18:51 |
| Greygan | sere Yup :) | 18:51 |
| sere | Greygan: awesome :) | 18:51 |

| Baribal_ | Hi. Are MacBook Pros "normal" PCs in regard of the boot sticks to use? I'm currently forced to use a MacBook, as my Asus laptop had a headcrash. Now that I replaced the HDD I have to make a (USB install) boot stick, but the tutorial I found implies that it's meant to work on a (then former) Mac. | 19:10 |
| Greygan | sere: Yes I have it mirrored and works fine once in the GUI its just the login screen that is no longer mirrored. But I think jhutchins is right I should just swap monitor cables on my card to make mine the default at login. | 19:11 |
| sere | Greygan: ah i see.. i had that same problem.. your mirror affect is taking affect to late .. in gnome startup probably | 19:12 |

| Jordan_U | Baribal_: Macs are quirky when it comes to booting from USB, and the quirks can varry from model to model. These instructions http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx should work with any model, though I'm not sure what to do if you don't have a mac to prepare the USB drive with. Booting from DVD is much simpler on intel macs. | 19:15 |
| sere | Greygan: that would be an easy fix .. the hdmi will have better quality .. if your watching movies you probably want the hdmi for movies and vga for monitor.. depending on your tv / resolution wanted 720p, 1080p etc | 19:15 |

| Jordan_U | Fuzzles: The easiest way to do that would be to just leave grub at its default, booting Ubuntu, and make sure that grub's boot sector will only be installed to the MBR of the Ubuntu drive. That way the Windows drive has its MBR which will just boot Windows, and the Ubuntu drive has its MBR which will load grub which will boot Ubuntu by default but allow booting Windows also. | 20:17 |

| Jordan_U | Fuzzles: If the drives are easy to remove then remove the Windows drive before installing Ubuntu, then run "sudo update-grub" in Ubuntu post-install (with the Windows drive plugged in). That way you don't have to do manual partitioning (if you use automatic partitioning in Ubuntu's installer you don't get to choose which drive grub's boot sector will be installed to). | 20:20 |

| nyRednek | strixUK, not quite sure how to go about that | 21:13 |
| strixUK | nyRednek: that way you're only in trouble if your machine gets stolen (or you lose your laptop with your private key on it) | 21:13 |
| strixUK | nyRednek: set "PasswordAuthentication no" in /etc/ssh/sshd_config | 21:14 |
| nyRednek | strixUK, wouldn't it be a really good idea to have key-based auth set up first? | 21:14 |
| strixUK | nyRednek: but be sure that you have working pubkeys first :) | 21:14 |
| strixUK | nyRednek: yes :) | 21:14 |

| k1l | TKing: just sit and watch and try to help where you can. its learning by doing in most cases | 22:54 |
| sere | TKing: second kboodu's comment | 22:54 |
| kboodu | TKing: There are also lots of good sites to read as well as learning how to use google. Plus "breaking" your own system and fixing it. | 22:55 |
| kboodu | TKing: VMs are great for "breaking" and "fixing" with software you wouldn't normally use. Or delete a key util and then "fix" it. | 22:55 |
| kboodu | TKing: Also, everyone brings something to the table. If only it's a bad example or solution some days. ;) | 22:56 |

From the NFS-mount I've mapped a few directories with bind - but I get: "rpcbind cannot open '/run/rpcbind/rpcbind.xdr' file for reading" on boot, and it halts because it cant bind the folders.

| ubottu | Xaysia: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 23:15 |
| Xaysia | Yeah you need to watch my language | 23:15 |
| Xaysia | It's very offensive for minors who use linux | 23:15 |
| nafg_ | +1 to ubottu | 23:15 |
| k1l | Xaysia: insert a windows cd and repair the windows bootloader. but you should know fro the start, that the win bootloader will not boot a linux | 23:16 |
| Xaysia | That's not my concern. I just wish to restore my windows bootlaoder, as it seems like the gnu grub took over the windows bootloader | 23:16 |
| k1l | which is abolutly fine | 23:16 |
| Xaysia | I do have the windows cd, but there is no such thing as repair, it goes directly to install it | 23:16 |
| Xaysia | Is there no other option? | 23:17 |
| k1l | if you want to boot a linux you cant use windows bootloader | 23:17 |
| Xaysia | I am not trying to boot linux | 23:17 |
| Xaysia | I am trying to purge it from the ssd | 23:17 |
| Xaysia | but if I purge the bootloader, it will not help | 23:17 |
| k1l | so before using foul language and ranting about ubuntu you should have informed yourself | 23:17 |
| Xaysia | Dont worry | 23:17 |
| IdleOne | for help with fixing windows boot loader try ##windows. | 23:17 |
| Xaysia | I know how to use ubuntu | 23:17 |
| Xaysia | A friend of mine just told me to use the "install alongside windows" | 23:17 |
| k1l | yes and again: you need the to install the windows bootloader from the winds cd | 23:18 |
| Xaysia | what the installation did not mention however | 23:18 |
| Xaysia | was that it would install on the ssd, even though you specified differently (another hdd partition) | 23:18 |
| Xaysia | that was not the intention, and totally screwed everything up | 23:18 |
| Xaysia | I tried inserting the windows cd - it simply doesn't work, there are no restore options | 23:19 |
| Xaysia | It goes directly to the installation menu | 23:19 |
| k1l | Xaysia: ask in ##windows for that support | 23:19 |
| Xaysia | Areere no other options? | 23:20 |
| k1l | no | 23:20 |
| genial | Xaysia: http://gallery.techarena.in/data/519/02_win7_repair_4.JPG that's what you should be looking for when booting your computer with the Windows CD | 23:20 |
| Xaysia | Thanks man, but as I said, that menu never shows up | 23:21 |
| Xaysia | It goes directly to the "Install now" menu | 23:21 |
| k1l | then ask the ##windows guys whats going wrong there | 23:21 |
| Xaysia | I have | 23:21 |
| k1l | ok | 23:21 |
| Xaysia | I dont think all of you are incompatible either of answering this | 23:22 |
| genial | Xaysia: You'll be prompted with install-language/time/keyboard stuff first - before that screen appears | 23:22 |
| Xaysia | Somethings really weird lol, that's for sure | 23:22 |
| Xaysia | No no, there are no such things on the boot menu | 23:22 |
| Xaysia | Or do you have to make a fresh copy first of the installation? | 23:23 |
| k1l | last time: ##windows is the channel for windows support | 23:23 |
