[00:00] cpscarface1: small donation gets you a shell at silenceisdefeat.com ; one of the last remaining public shell hosts :) [00:00] sorry meant to msg that [00:00] kboodu: thanks for the confirmation and information [00:02] kboodu: kvm-qemu virtualization insists on chmod files in my home dir that are used for a running guest [00:02] it's somewhat annoying [00:03] shadows: I generally put them in another directory and then symlink it from MY home directory so I can at least browse it. [00:04] shadows: I don't like how it manages permissions / owns the files either. But I deal with it (and use sudo cp to backup the files) [00:05] hi [00:08] does anyone here know much about ubuntu 11.04? [00:09] Why 11.04? [00:10] it's the version I've got. [00:10] What do you need help with it? [00:11] ! eol | gaz1069 [00:11] gaz1069: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [00:11] I need to install octave and it won't go and fetch the files. is there any way to get it to just download the debs it needs? [00:12] gaz1069: the repos are no longer available....11.04 is no longer supported [00:13] ok, so how do I get it to download from a different repository? [00:13] gaz1069: Upgrade to a supported version. [00:14] not a chance, I can't find out any way of upgrading it and not getting stuck with damn unity. That's why I'm still on 11.04 [00:14] Install gnome-fallback on 13.04 then? [00:15] is there a file tree program i can use so i know what is taking up so much space on my hdd? [00:15] Skymont: du? [00:15] Skymont: du --max-depth=1 will tell you from the command line the size of each directory [00:15] is there an IRC channel for lubuntu or is this channel okay for all ubuntu flavors [00:16] #lubuntu [00:16] Disk Useage Analyser is good for that @Skymont [00:17] So does gnome-fallback basically look like gnome2? and is it definitely available for 13.04? [00:17] gaz1069, There are about 50 desktops up can run. [00:19] is there a way of getting 11.04 to download packages for a supported version? I only want software, not OS updates. [00:20] Hexagonite: trigger ubbotu with ! insteda of # ;-) === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [00:21] gaz1069: 11.04 is an LTS [00:21] What? [00:21] gaz1069: why don't you want to keep it updated? [00:21] gordonjcp: 11.04 is NOT LTS. 10.04 and 12.04 are. [00:21] kboodu: bah, you're right [00:21] 11.04 is probably out of support [00:22] 11.04 IS out of support. [00:22] gaz1069: okay, so 11.04 is out of support [00:22] gaz1069: you should update [00:22] I just need to get octave installed for now. I'll update it when I'm sure I can get round the unity problem. [00:22] gaz1069: What unity "problem?" [00:23] You can get around the unity problem by installing another de? [00:24] gaz1069: what problem are you having with Unity? [00:24] urm... the big buttons for 3 year olds and the complete lack of any common sense. Sorry for anyone here who likes unity. I just don't get on with it, and I just find it intensely annoying. [00:24] what "big buttons for 3 year olds"? [00:25] Unity is the only WM worth using [00:25] 'the big buttons for 3 year olds' resize it then? [00:25] the rest are all crap [00:25] Jeez [00:25] KDE is too concerned with having whizzy animations for everything [00:25] whatever the rip'off of the OSX dock is called on the left hand side. [00:25] Question: with the chown command and users... I guess I have to create a user before this command will work: --------------- chown -hR root:nobody /pub [00:25] I want an application menu, dammit. lol [00:25] Gnome 3 has ridiculously huge icons and tiny fonts [00:25] openbox? === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ [00:26] Then get 'gnome-fallback'? [00:26] Openbox is great, if you like writing 24 pages of haskell to change the desktop background and if you like talking about trains to everyone you meet [00:26] if you don't like Unity, there's something wrong with you [00:26] Edoctoor: no, but you need to use sudo [00:27] how can I make a link to a .sh program ? like instead of running it in a terminal and having to have a terminal window open + the program [00:27] true gordon. I've got KDE on my laptop. I wish KDE would sort themselves out. The graphics are a bit too shiny, and you need someone from mensa to help with installing a printer. lol [00:27] gaz1069: KDE guys just *looooooove* their settings menus [00:27] gaz1069: you know how it would be *possible* but not necessarily practical to make a car with a 47-speed gearbox? [00:27] that's KDE [00:27] gordonjcp: Have you looked at installing AWN (Avant Window Navigator) along with unity? [00:28] kboodu: nope, what does it do? [00:28] th0r, when I use sudo chown -hR root:nobody /pub the result is "chown: invalid group: 'root:nobody'" [00:28] maybe there's something wrong with me then gordon. I admit I spend most of my time in a terminal. [00:28] gaz1069: so do I [00:28] gaz1069: but I use Unity for my WM [00:28] gordonjcp: It puts a menu bar at the bottom (by default) with the options for File Folders and the "old style menu" [00:28] kboodu: then no, I haven't tried it and I don't intend to [00:29] gordonjcp: Do a quick google for it. I use it with Unity. Helps me for certain things. [00:29] Edoctoor: you need to create the group nobody [00:29] kboodu: the old style gnome 2 thing was fine in the 90s [00:29] oooh kboodu, that sounds perfect :) [00:29] kboodu: I don't want stuff along the bottom of my screen [00:29] my screen is wider than it is tall [00:29] sticking it at the side makes sense [00:29] urgh, since when did the era have anything to do with the userbility of a computer? [00:29] gordonjcp: Sorry, I guess that was for gaz1069. [00:30] th0r, And that is back to my question... how do I create a group nobody [00:30] gaz1069: since they were invented... [00:30] unity will be perfect when everyone has touch screen monitors. [00:30] gaz1069: Take a look at it. (And you can move it to sides or top or have multiple) [00:30] gaz1069: don't see why that would be, touch screen monitors are hard to use [00:31] Gnome2 is impossible on a touch screen. The larger icons in unity would probably work quite well though. [00:31] Edoctoor: I am not presently in my linux box. I think the command is addgroup. There is also Users and Groups gui in xfce...don't know about unity [00:33] kboodu, thank you very much. I'll take a look at it on my m8s box before risking the purgatory of unity on mine. lol [00:33] th0r, thanks .. thats should be enuff to get me going in the right direction [00:33] gaz1069: Take a look at some web sites and that will give you some idea if you WANT to install it. [00:34] gaz1069: Try this: https://code.google.com/p/avant-window-navigator/ [00:34] gaz1069: There are also many screenshots of people who've installed it, if you look at google images. [00:35] well it's either going to be awn or gnome-fallback I think [00:35] And if nothing else, Lubuntu / Xubuntu and install the software from Ubuntu you want. ;) === shantorn- is now known as shantorn [00:37] first screenshot I foud on google, someone had made the anoying unity laeft hand bar into an OSX dock. lol at least the menu bar comes back though. [00:37] gaz1069: that's one of the things that annoys me about OSX [00:38] gaz1069: why is the dock at the bottom? It should be at the size [00:38] *side [00:38] Having a problem [00:38] I don't have time to do the update right now though, so I've still got to work out how to get 11.04 to download debs. [00:38] gordonjcp: You can move it to either side or the top. Most people like it at the bottom (probably because of Winders) [00:38] I have a macbook pro set up to dual boot ubuntu [00:38] hi [00:39] I tried upgrading from 12.04 to 12.10 [00:39] I do need some help setting up a FOG server any help from here ?? [00:39] I was stupid, and turned it off mid-install [00:39] gaz1069, you can get free standing debs on the web sometimes. [00:39] I booted into recovery mode, and it appeared to finish the install [00:39] gaz1069: i used "Gnome Classic" on 12.04 & 12.10 ... 13.04 no longer supports "Gnome Classic" ... so i'm using "Gnome-Fallbak" now ... fallbac has a few glitches that i've been anable to resolve ... however it's wo0rking good enough fo me to continue using it [00:40] But now, when I go into ubuntu, I am faced with only a terminal [00:40] And, worse, my computer does not appear to be working [00:40] gordon, the mac fanboy is a strange beast. There is no explaining why they have their dock at the bottom of the screen, of why they have a large glowing apple on the back of it. lol [00:41] Hey, I have my dock on my side, thank you very much [00:41] :) [00:41] ouch pixle. does it boot from the install CD [00:41] I might try that [00:41] Worth noting that It works perfectly fine from osx [00:42] But...I fell in love with ubuntu :) [00:42] I'm guessing you're on a mac pixel [00:42] hi everyone [00:43] I love ubuntu on small PC laptops, it doubles the speed compared to wondoze. lol [00:43] hi tales [00:45] does anyone know how I can add the lucid repository in natty? [00:46] gaz1069, not good practice to mix release repos [00:46] gaz1069: You can really run into dependency issues and conflicts mixing repositories. Wouldn't recommend it. [00:47] gaz1069: You might add a PPA with specific software however to solve *some* issues. [00:48] hey everyone, I am trying to do something a little risky and was wondering if someone who knows linux well can make sure Im not doing anything stupid [00:48] yeah, I know. I can't just download the debs annoyingly. HOw would I add a PPA? [00:48] what are you trying to do treehut? [00:49] gaz1069, trying to enable autosuspend on the WiMax portion of my network card [00:49] im pretty sure the usb device is under sys/bus/usb/devices/2-1.3:1.0 but not sure [00:49] gaz1069: Here is how to add a PPA - http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/how-to-add-a-ppa-to-software-sources-in-ubuntu [00:49] gaz1069: However, you need to find the appropriate PPA for the software you want to install - and determine if it's even available. [00:49] gaz1069, . if one is available for the package you want , check out launchpad for the package [00:50] treehau55: Did you look at dmesg to see what it showed when the USB device was connected to the system? [00:50] <_nothing__> what is different between sbin and bin? [00:50] !ppa > gaz1069 [00:50] gaz1069, please see my private message [00:51] _nothing__: sbin is for more "secure" binaries that normal users shouldn't need. [00:51] _nothing__: bin for executables, sbin for executables that relate to system setup [00:51] *startup [00:51] kboodu, im not sure what dmesg is , is that the text that appears in black and white right before ubuntu boots up? [00:52] treehau55: dmesg shows some of that info...and other related system messages after bootup [00:52] <_nothing__> what is different between /sbin and /bin? [00:52] treehau55: It's kernel related messages. [00:53] _nothing__: Most binaries in /sbin are for the root user to "run" or during system start-up. [00:53] _nothing__: programs in /bin are for normal user usage. [00:54] kboodu, dang theres lots of errors here [00:54] treehau55: Errors? Warnings? Messages? [00:54] <_nothing__> what is different between /sbin and /bin? [00:55] treehau55: You can also run "dmesg | less" to page through the info it provides. [00:55] <_nothing__> what is different between /sbin and /bin? [00:55] _nothing__: and now is the time to stop [00:55] is there a way to force ssl? [00:55] nyRednek: on what sort of connection? [00:56] what is different between /sbin and /bin? [00:56] kboodu, https://gist.github.com/treehau5/2bccce88b92e2c45d52b [00:56] somsip, http, forcing it to be an https url [00:56] !ops _nothing__ is trolling repeating the same question despite receiving replies [00:56] nyRednek: only if the target host is setup to use https [00:56] !ops | _nothing__ is trolling repeating the same question despite receiving replies [00:56] _nothing__ is trolling repeating the same question despite receiving replies: Help!

[00:57] <_nothing__> sorry my connection get trouble [00:57] <_nothing__> time to stop?what u mean? [00:57] treehau55: Some of that is a problem with the file system. Disk corruption? (ext4 is a file system) [00:57] _nothing__: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=difference+between+sbin+and+bin [00:57] _nothing__: you've asked the same question 5 times in 5 mins and recieved 3 replies from two different people [00:58] knnl4110: Please don't give lmgtfy links, it is rude and wouldn't have been easier for you to link them directly. [00:58] treehau55: Did you have an "unclean" shutdown? That's what lines 1 - 2699 look like [00:58] IdleOne: ok. [00:58] thank you [00:58] IdleOne: sorry - maybe I was a bit over eager withthe ops call... [00:58] kboodu, ive had 2 constant issues my 2 years of using ubuntu, 1. problems with my graphics card (fglrx) and 2. problems with my wireless (iwlwifi) [00:58] somsip: no worries [00:58] IdleOne: it seemed quite appropriate here actually [00:58] <_nothing__> i'm sorry sir , caused my internet connection get trouble, connect and disconnect so i can not to know that my question was stored in channel. i'm so sorry all.. [00:58] kboodu, maybe be the fact that i originally installed ubuntu as a dual boot along side windows on a SSD, then migrated to to a hard drive. 2. yes I did, I had to force shut down I was messing with the compiz settings and did something that locked up the system [00:58] seronis: if he hadn't had internet trouble, yeah. [00:58] seronis: it is never appropriate to be rude. [00:59] blunt != rude [00:59] treehau55: That explains the "errors," but those are expected in an "unclean" shutdown - disk buffers that weren't "commited" to the disk. [00:59] kboodu, okay, well as far as getting this usb device to autosuspend, you think you can help me? I just want to be sure im not doing anything stupid [01:00] treehau55: The remainder of that looks ok. Not sure about the CPU related things. [01:00] seronis: IdleOne is right. My apologies! [01:00] treehau55: What USB device? [01:00] im *fairly* certain its 2-1.3:1.0 [01:00] hello , I am going to school for programming but how can I find a development team to mentor me and help me contribute to something? [01:00] <_nothing__> i'm little strees in learnn.can help me how to fix it? [01:01] treehau55: i2400m_usb? [01:01] pianogmx: look into contributing to open source projects. Easy ones, maybe [01:01] treehau55: That look slike a WiMax device on wmx0. [01:01] Hello, I'm having a bit of a crisis here. Hopefully someone can help me [01:01] kboodu, I have an Intel wimax 6150 network card, which is suprisingly supported by the kernel, and the installation docs state I will get better performance if I place the WiMax portion of the device in power save mode [01:01] <_nothing__> help about what focus i must learn in unix [01:01] <_nothing__> first [01:01] !manual | _nothing__ [01:01] _nothing__: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents. With an emphasis on easy to follow instructions, it is suitable for all levels of experience. http://ubuntu-manual.org/ [01:02] kboodu, i never use the wimax, I always just use it to connect to networks through wifi [01:02] A few minutes ago I tried installing linux mint, and the installer failed in the partition process. Now when I startup neither windows or ubuntu loads up, it just brings me to a grub rescue command line [01:02] pianogmx: also idle in #learnprogramming or some of the language specific channels. pay attention to common problems and solutions others give them [01:02] treehau55: You might try googling that. [01:02] <_nothing__> not in manual but in directly,tips [01:02] so now i'm on the ubuntu live cd wondering how to recover my partitions [01:02] I'm not sure how to put it in PowerSave mode and the impacts. It *should* be ok. [01:03] <_nothing__> such as how to manage schedule in learning [01:03] _nothing__: when you need to do something, research it yourself properly. Read man pages when you need to use a command. Expand your knowledge slowly. Don't just rely on others for answers [01:03] Mattheus, This a uefi windows or mbr [01:03] wilee-nilee: sorry I'm really new to this stuff, so that was a foreign language to me :) [01:03] how do I get the 32bit versions of gstreamer, and will it ruin my 64bit packages? [01:04] s/ruin/want to remove [01:04] Mattheus, Windows 7? [01:04] Yeah [01:04] Mattheus, Follow this chroot to reload grub to the mbr. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/Installing#via_ChRoot [01:05] So you don't think I'll lose my windows 7 stuff? [01:06] Mattheus, We are assuming mint did no damage, reloading the ubuntu grub should get you up and running. [01:06] <_nothing__> somsip thx for idea, i founded it that why i'm streess caused too much what i learn,not such as your tips for me to get learn slowly,thx. [01:06] OK, thanks very much wilee-nilee. I'll take a look [01:06] hi - adobe reader shows blank menus on 12.04LTS - screenshot here: http://picpaste.com/HAiQiDu5.jpg - any ideas or options? [01:07] <_nothing__> somsip maybe i too quickly in learning, i must change it to slowly mode. [01:08] hi do .deb files embody the ability to add repositories to your sources.list or wherever? [01:08] i mean [01:08] just installing a .deb file [01:08] will it add the repo [01:09] or can it [01:09] ? [01:09] clockworks: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:09] im just a fast typer [01:09] not a flooder [01:09] clockworks, Some debs will for example google chrome does. [01:09] wilee-nilee: how exactly do they do it and why dont more debs do it? [01:09] wilee-nilee: are you implying most dont? [01:10] <_nothing__> you all here, in learning are you use notebook to write ? [01:10] clockworks, Not sure how, I can't say most don't but I have seen few in 7 years [01:11] hm weird wilee-nilee [01:11] <_nothing__> notebook(manual book to write) [01:11] how do I get the 32bit versions of gstreamer, and will it ruin my 64bit packages? [01:11] wilee-nilee: whats the prefered way to add a repo? [01:11] clockworks: I'm not sure that most .deb files add a repository. They *usually* just install binaries / config files / anciliary files (but maybe not all dependencies) [01:12] thanks kboodu but i dont get why not all debs that come from a repo (most do) add their repo [01:12] _nothing__: I usually use a wiki of some kind. Sometimes Zim on my computer (and my Zim files are shared across computers with Dropbox) [01:12] ifconfig is giving me "Command 'ifconfig' is available in 'sbin/ifconfig [01:12] clockworks, If a ppa there is a ppa add that includes the key, otherwse I would put it in /etc/apt/sources.list [01:12] it was working before i restarted the machine. [01:13] clockworks: It depends if you add the repo and install or if you download the deb and install it. [01:13] <_nothing__> kboodu thx for your tips [01:14] i can't install lubuntu 13.04 in an old pc [01:14] it says number:longhaul [01:14] hello i have disabled my wireless from the top right and can't renable it becuase i cant find it there can some please help [01:15] jmurrib21: why not try a liter distro? [01:15] like? [01:15] how do I get the 32bit versions of gstreamer, and will it ruin my 64bit packages?

[01:18] yep === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [01:19] anglistic [01:20] <_nothing__> come all we support ethical programming, [01:20] _nothing__: how about we all get back on topic. You should take this conversation to #ubuntu-offtopic please [01:21] how do I get the 32bit versions of gstreamer, and will it ruin my 64bit packages? [01:21] i can only see wirred no wireless i right click the network top right cnr and unticked wireless network now i cant retick it [01:22] <_nothing__> somsip sorry it is just little intermezo from me. i know about it. but caused i like ubuntu caused it programmer is good, and have ethical, caused that i just to tell heart to heart about fact. [01:22] stan879nz: What does dmesg say when you re-click it? Does it signal anything to the kernel? [01:22] <_nothing__> intermezo==fact that i have get in my self, [01:23] no because the option for wireless network is nolonger there [01:24] hi - adobe reader shows blank menus on 12.04LTS - screenshot here: http://picpaste.com/HAiQiDu5.jpg - any ideas or options? [01:24] stan879nz: Not sure why it would disappear from your menu. [01:25] stan879nz: Are you using Network Manager? [01:25] yes [01:26] network manager 0.9.4.1 [01:26] stan879nz: Will restarting network manager cause you any problems (are you doing anything on the wired network)? [01:26] no i am on another pc atm till i fix [01:26] stan879nz: MAYBE that will solve the issue? [01:26] stan879nz: But it's pretty "strange" [01:27] so just try to restart the device? [01:27] Device? [01:27] No. The service. [01:27] is there any tablet with stylus which is supported by normal desktop ubuntu ui? [01:28] DarkAceLaptop: I see gstreamer in my apt-cache repository (Ubuntu v12.04). Is it in yours? [01:29] somebody that can recommend me a terminal, i tried xterm but that one is to inflexeble [01:29] Fenb: what flexibility do you need? What features that aren't in xterm? [01:29] Fenb: What are you trying to do? [01:29] yeah, but I don't see the 32bit versions; I'm trying to fix wine [01:29] and they directed me here [01:29] konsole is one of the most flexible [01:29] Fenb: What's wrong with Gnome-terminal? [01:29] Fenb: There is gnome-terminal and roxterm. === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [01:29] DarkAceLaptop: Fix Wine? [01:30] DarkAceLaptop, I'm just a simple wine user ^^ [01:30] kboodu, yeah, apparently it wants the 32bit versions [01:30] DarkAceLaptop: Wine wants a 32-bit version of gstreamer? [01:30] kboodu: it's not using the 64bit version I have installed [01:30] yes [01:30] I think, anyway [01:30] DarkAceLaptop: Why are you running it under wine? [01:31] DarkAceLaptop: It's a native Linux application. [01:31] i think its not wrong with xterm but i wanna hear the opinions from others [01:31] a Windows game wants sound, and wine uses gstreamer [01:31] Fenb: tell us what you need then [01:31] question, could one have two ssl certs pointing to same ip? [01:31] Fenb: It depends on what you're doing. I bounce between lxterm, gnome-terminal, xterm, roxterm, and rxvt all day long [01:32] DarkAceLaptop: last time i checked wine is using 32-bit cus it most stable i think.. i heard [01:32] DarkAceLaptop: I have no idea. That's a ...puzzle. [01:33] DarkAceLaptop: I think you might have some conflicts around that though unless it's installed specifically under Wine to ensure you don't run into shared library issues. [01:33] DarkAceLaptop: Maybe compile from source...but, that's going to be a lot of work. [01:33] service network-manager start has not fixed the problem wireless is still missing only Enable Networking - Enable Notification - Edit Connections... - About is visible [01:33] hehe copy commands, but nothing serious, havent seen another uses for terminals? :] [01:34] Fenb: Screen. :) [01:34] stan879nz: Was that a start or a restart? === comrad is now known as comradzilla [01:34] i stopped the service ad started the service again [01:34] DarkAceLaptop, maybe this can help http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1643197 [01:35] stan879nz: Ahh. Then it sounds like it can't detect the Wireless for whatever reason. [01:35] stan879nz: Not sure why that would happen. Maybe something in dmesg or in /var/log/syslog [01:36] kboodu: i dont know.. what you mean screens? [01:36] Fenb: Check out man screen. I use it to connect to all the remote server4s. [01:38] Fenb: you want copy on keys rather than on mouse? [01:38] somsip: what you mean? [01:38] failed to load session "gnome" , how to fix this , I installed awesome, and echo "exec awesome" > .xinitrc [01:39] I have one pci-e video card doing dual monitors. I want to add another pci to gain two more. to ask the naive question, would this present a problem for 13.04 or difficulty in getting running, software wise? [01:39] Fenb: well, highlight with mouse drag and paste with middle button is one way of copying that should work across everyting linuxy. So what functionality are you looking for? [01:39] I installed xdm , and purge gdm kdm lightdm === clockwor1s is now known as clockworks [01:44] i have aMacBook Pro dual boot OSX and Ubuntu 12.04. lately i've had problems booting into ubuntu. when i select the tux icon in rEfit the tux icon stays in the middle of the screen and freezes there. i am in ubuntu right now, but idk how... [01:45] somsip: i dont know any other use :/ [01:45] Fenb: The terminal allows you to execute commands and interract with the operating system. [01:46] ARRRGGGHHH [01:46] Fenb: If xterm isn't working, try and install another and see if it meets your needs or google it online and see how others use it. [01:46] I purged gnome-session , but xdm still say Failed to load session "gnome" [01:46] Fenb: So I'm trying to help, but I get impatient when I have to drag details out of people. So I use urxvt but I cannot tell you whether this will be helpful for you or not. So there you go [01:46] * Bronze smacks kboodu with a trout [01:46] kboodu: Stop conflating "terminal" with the bash shell. 9or theshell of your choice) [01:47] I rm -rf /etc/xdg/autostart/ , but xdm still say Failed to load session "gnome" [01:47] my dual boot macbook pro freezies when trying to boot to ubuntu [01:47] help [01:48] ikk I think you want to use dpkg-reconfigure gdm [01:48] somsip: i said earlier that i wanted others opinions or what its called :] [01:48] wheatthin: I want use xdm , instead of gdm [01:48] right, it'll give you a choice [01:49] somsip: i just wanted something else to try out [01:49] Bronze: I'm not sure how you're confusing the Appearance (terminal) and it's functionality with the shell (which interprets the commands - which can be bash, zsh, or others) [01:49] omg thanks guys.. the problem was with me the user. when i unticked wierless from network manager i had to press FN+F2 to turn it back on [01:50] stan879nz: Great...glad that's fixed for you. Not sure I would have guessed that though. [01:51] kboodu: I wrote my first serial io driver in 1986. All the terminal does is pass characters back and forth. The shell iswhat doing all the work of allowing you to interact with the operating system. [01:51] kboodu: did you start out on MAC OSX? [01:51] Bronze: No. CP/M [01:51] i heard something called Terminator, i think it is a terminal? [01:52] Fenb: yes. [01:52] cute name too. [01:52] kboodu: CP/M? what hardware? [01:52] Bronze: You're mixing a hardware terminal with the abstract term of a Terminal in Linux. [01:52] Bronze: Northstar. [01:53] kboodu: no I'm not. From the perspective if a *NIX user, the hardware and the software emulator of the hardware are the same. [01:53] *of a [01:53] haha, something that includes lots of stuff for a terminal i think? [01:54] Fenb: I suspect so [01:55] ikk work for you? [01:55] how do i run a program as non root when logged in under root? [01:56] su username [01:56] for a new user, would xterm be recommended or? [01:57] stan879nz: or sudo [01:57] he doesn't want to run as root [01:57] when he's already root [01:57] Fenb: I have always found konsole to be the most flexible and easiest to configure. That may or may not matter to a new user [01:58] stan879nz: Why don't you "become" the user? [01:58] stan879nz: su *username* [01:58] I did kpartx on a VM image that has an LVM mapping. How do I deactivate the LVM mappings long enough for me to remove the kpartx mapping? [01:58] Bronze: i dont use a DE, i use Ze Openbox [01:58] Hello [01:59] Fenb: then your choices will be limited [01:59] I think.... [01:59] Is there a simple control panel that I can install in ubuntu that allows the user to add e-mail addresses, etc. from a web interface? It would be nice if it shows hdd capacity, etc. Sort of like how Plesk and CPanel work but without all of the other nonsense. [02:00] Webmin [02:00] Braden: Webmin [02:00] I will check it out. Thanks [02:00] !info webmin | Braden` [02:00] Braden`: Package webmin does not exist in raring [02:00] Braden`: ah. It used to be amessage saying this is not support or recommended anymore. Not sure why. [02:01] no, it just does not exist [02:01] Hi everyone. Does anyone know if Ubuntu installs well with UEFI bios nowadays? I tried with linux mint (oh, the shame! :P) somewhat recently and I never could get it to work :( [02:01] webmin can be downloaded from their site, still as a debian package [02:01] Ok [02:01] wheatthin: yes, but i meant supported in ubuntu. I should have been more clear. [02:01] Epoxx: did you boot it in UEFI? [02:02] somsip: Webmin notifies you of updates itself and will all you to install it from inside itself. [02:02] Perfect [02:02] Fenb what do you mean? Right now I have win8 64bit in EFI mode [02:02] kboodu: thanks, but of no interest to me :) [02:02] somsip: Then what are you trying to do? [02:03] Epoxx: nah i meant if you booted in UEFI then you installed ubuntu with the cd [02:03] kboodu: let Braden know that webmin is no longer supported or recommended as an official Ubuntu package [02:03] Does Rainy tomboys sync server need to use a public ip.. i would think if the syncing computer is in on the same network it could use a local ip? [02:03] somsip: Oops. Grabbed the wrong name... [02:03] kboodu: np :) === lm_ is now known as Guest9403 [02:04] ok thanks for the advice i think im gonna try it out [02:04] Braden`: The Webmin notifies you of updates and allows you to update it from inside itself. Even though a debian package is available, it is not offiically supported in Ubunut. [02:05] Also, anyone here work for Google by any chance? :D [02:06] g'd up! [02:06] How can I ensure the proper user's $HOME is used when using `sudo -u username_here` ? [02:06] It keeps using the user I'm logged in as, not the one I'm specifying [02:07] that seems like a potential bug in the operation of sudo? [02:07] all though I understand why it would still use the active environment vars [02:07] that's why I suggested using su [02:07] tjbiddle: sudo -u username command allows you to execute the command with the permissions of the user. [02:07] It does not keep the active environment vars [02:07] tjbiddle: su - username [02:08] tjbiddle: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Su_(Unix) [02:08] tjbiddle: What somesip said. Then you will "become" the user. [02:08] somsip: I think the server has login disabled for this user. Don't feel like lifting it as it's probably for a reason [02:08] tjbiddle: you mean there is no password? I sudo -i and then su [02:08] hi i cant hear anything on my username but on others i can [02:08] tjbiddle: Is the shell /bin/false for that user? [02:09] tjbiddle, if you are worried about a security concern just change the password then su to the user [02:09] I can' see any reason not to lift the login [02:09] Azorian: not a good idea. usually acounts have no password for a reaon. www-data, nobody, etc... [02:09] kboodu: Yup! That's what it is, thanks! [02:09] tjbiddle: Don't forget to change it back when you're done! [02:10] kboodu: Is that something harmful? [02:10] yes but I assume he is talking about a user account [02:10] not a sys account [02:10] Azorian: It's a user we're using to pull in puppet modules from git [02:10] Azorian: he has his answer. Maybe we're at cross-purposes a little [02:10] apparently so [02:11] Well many thanks :) Only run into having the shell set to /bin/false once before - Completely slipped my mind to check. [02:11] * tjbiddle write in notes [02:15] what is recommended to use then i got a hybrid graphics? [02:17] can I configure the IGMP timeout? I'm using qemu on 13.04 and my application's multicast data just stops after exactly 5 minutes. I don't have this problem with 12.04, so I'm looking at the only non-kernel/qemu difference - IGMP v3/v2 [02:18] how to uninstall gdm and gnome in 12.10 ? I'll use awesome and xdm [02:19] ikk purge them [02:19] ikk-: I found it trinkly to completely remove gnome and ended up with fresh install from minimal. Then just apt-get-install awesomewm and wait a while. Not sure about xdm - use slim here [02:19] *tricky [02:20] jj123: if you don't gea answer here you might ask in #Ubuntu-server [02:21] somsip: wheatthin: how to use xdm and awesome , without uninstall gdm and gnome [02:21] crossing my fingers [02:21] ikk-: just told you. I have no idea about xdm [02:22] ikk-: sorry - misread. You can install awesome as a session to gdm, but no idea about xdm [02:23] somsip: ok , i'll try slim [02:24] with hardware these days I don't get why not just use gdm and use the sessions manager to use awesome like somsip said [02:24] what do i do if i got a hybrid graphic card? [02:24] ikk-: this might help with awesome on gnome. It looks familiar to when I tried it out. Ignore the 'compiling awesome' bit as awesome is in the repos. Scroll down to the '[Desktop Entry]' bit http://is.gd/NgPGkP [02:24] !gq | Fenb [02:24] Fenb: Are you sure your question allows us to help you? Please read http://www.sabi.co.uk/Notes/linuxHelpAsk.html to understand how to ask a 'better' question. [02:25] !distupgrade [02:25] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [02:25] <-- personally loves gnome 3 :) [02:25] somsip: i got a intel, nvidia graphic card in my laptop? [02:26] Fenb: and...? I'm not dragging this out of you again. I'll just give up and do some work instead... [02:28] Fenb: are you trying to install a graphics driver or what??? [02:28] Greygan_: yea [02:28] Fenb: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current [02:29] somsip: why xdm disable ctrl+alt+f1 key when "Failed load session xxx " [02:29] Greygan_: but i got a intel/nvidia how do i do then? [02:29] ikk-: last time I repeat it - I have no idea about xdm [02:30] somsip: ok [02:30] Fenb: all nvidia cards use the nvidia driver no matter the branding on the card [02:31] Greygan_: ok, but i got 1 intel and one nvidia in the laptop [02:31] Greygan_: isn;t there something - Optimus - that is different? Something about needing jockey? [02:31] Fenb: your laptop has 2 video cards??? [02:32] Fenb, mac laptop? [02:33] wheatthin: nope [02:33] Greygan_: yes, hybrids [02:33] Greygan_, I think it's for power conservation.. when the laptop needs more gpu power it then switches to nvidia [02:34] Fenb: not sure then... [02:34] Fenb, I'd imagine it would be two "Device" sections in xorg.conf [02:34] Hi all. My mail has stopped sending (It gets about 40% through a message and then fails). Is there a log somewhere? It's thunderbird 17.0.6 [02:35] somsip: yes the Optimus line is a bit different, wasnt thinking of them. [02:35] Fenb: Try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HybridGraphics#NVIDIA_Optimus and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [02:36] Greygan_: bumblebee, apparently. I knew I was vague... [02:36] god, how do i copy in xterm :/ [02:37] Fenb: drag with the mouse to highlight, go to where you want to paste, middle click [02:38] somsip: thank you :) [02:40] Here is a write up on bumblebee for the Optimus line. http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/bumblebee-321-released-with-ubuntu-1304.html [02:41] nevermind I see somsip beat me to it... lol [02:41] Greygan_: today's hints are brought to you by....CAFFEINE! [02:41] lol [02:41] and alot of patience [02:42] wheatthin: not so much sometimes if I'm honest...OT [02:42] lol [02:44] I wish ubuntu wouldn't try to dynamically set my monitor settings.. some times my monitor isn't recognized and gets stuck at 60hz on a crt 0.o [02:46] It makes the astigmatism seem even worse [02:51] wheatthin: can't you fix it in CCSM? http://is.gd/lxXsMZ [02:52] there's no compiz in gnome 3 [02:52] Hi guys. I accidently deleted the location of xinitrc. Can someone read what theres says so I can fix mine? [02:52] wheatthin: switch over to a newer LCD monitor ... that way linux can poll the monitor ... use that old CRT for a boat anchor ;-) [02:52] FoShizz: in ~/ it is empty [02:52] lol no doubt, if I wasn't so poor i'd probably do so [02:52] its at /etc/X11/xinit/xinitrc [02:53] just cat it pwease :) [02:53] FoShizz Just a sec.

[02:54] nice seth thanks1 [02:54] i apprecitate it alot seth :) [02:54] No problem. [02:55] Tex_Nick, I can't even afford glasses atm, so a newer lcd isn't an option atm [02:57] wheatthin: ah ok i understand ... no glasses and a poor display is a pain in the patut then :-( [02:57] hiii im having a big issue i cant hear when i put the volume up for example or any ubuntu sound effects [02:57] Is it normal not to have a .Xauthority? [02:59] FoShizz I have too many :O http://i.imgur.com/gPdPhsB.png [02:59] :O [02:59] A while back I saw a status sort of display someone had set up, it was almost 'tile' like in that there were maybe 4 boxes on the left half the screen and one 4x size box on the right. Each had live stats. Anyone know what program(s) that would make that easy?

Version 1.9.0-2 (raring), package size 3 kB, installed size 42 kB [03:00] Nautilus, are you talking about Enlightenment? [03:00] For some reason I can't login. I seem to be in a login loop, where whenever I enter my password it simply black screens for a flash then goes back to the login. [03:01] FoShizz: Well .Xauthority is an Xsession cookie.. so that might be the problem. [03:01] FoShizz, sounds like a wrongly configured xorg [03:01] somsip: looking [03:01] How would i go about fixing it?

Maybe one of those apps does that but it's unclear from google pics [03:06] damn [03:06] im that guy [03:06] that guy who everyone hates because they have to tab one more damn time [03:07] heh [03:07] Nautilus: conky is very configurable. I get the idea most people use transparent backgrounds, but you could use big bold squares of color for that Win8 look [03:07] lol [03:07] Nautilus: but then again, it may not be conky...

When Ubuntu installs, is it optimized for the hardware it's installed on? Would there be any advantage in reinstalling with the new hardware? [03:21] hi what im trying to do is this, ubuntu live cd creates a desktop link "install ubuntu" that reappears after every boot even if you delete it and have a casper-rw [03:21] i figured it must sit in initrd.gz [03:21] but maybe it doesnt? [03:21] also maybe i can just delete it on boot every time automatically [03:21] whats the script that gets run earliest in the boot process? so i can add a line that deletes the desktop icon [03:21] where does the damn desktop icon come from.. [03:21] newhoa just update our drivers. thatll be your optimization [03:23] somsip: Are you still here?

[03:27] !eol | dacdave [03:27] dacdave: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [03:28] dacdave: or you can just make a clean install [03:29] that bot is all knowing [03:29] docdave: http://askubuntu.com/questions/91815/how-to-install-software-or-upgrade-from-old-unsupported-release [03:29] FoShizz: Thanks. I just didn't know if during installation certain configs were optimized for specific hardware. I figure at least the kernel is preconfigured with extra options enabled for really broad hardware support? As in, when you install Ubuntu x84_64, it is generically configured? [03:30] Is there a manual for the bot? [03:30] sethj_, http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi [03:31] I have to say, though, I'm really impressed that I can make such drastic changes to my system and have Ubuntu/Linux handle it with no problem. Changing a single component on Windows is a nightmare, if the system will even boot. [03:31] which encryption algorithm does the ubuntu rightclick > compress tool use? [03:31] newhoa those are drivers that allow for support. And yes, ubuntu does come equipped with an array for generic drivers. [03:31] Anybody know a good tutorial for putting firefox/flash on ubuntu GNOME remix 12.10? [03:31] clockworks, you mean compression algorithm? [03:31] kostkon: no, there is optional encryption [03:32] in the compress tool [03:32] clockworks, oh right sorry [03:32] you can choose the compression algorithm, but it doesnt say anything about the encryption algorithm [03:32] bennis: adobe flash plugin¿ [03:33] yes, adobe flash and mozilla firefox [03:33] bennis: just open software center [03:33] ubuntu GNOME remix 12.10 doesn't seem to support either out of the box [03:33] hi, im new to ubuntu and i need some help [03:33] The .xauthority is uneeded because it simply creates a new one every boot, right? === Leon is now known as Guest73580 [03:33] xangua: thank you, but i'm on a different derivative than vanilla [03:34] !hi | Guest73580 [03:34] damn [03:34] Guest73580, just ask the question [03:36] 13.04 x64 I keep loosing my keyboard and mouse functionality [03:38] ok so my motherboard says it has onboard apu performance, what does this mean, does this have onboard processor or what? if so why is ubunto not loading up [03:38] *ubuntu [03:39] anyone have any info?

Thanks for the help! [03:43] LeonIsNew: What motherboard/graphics card do you have? [03:43] LeonIsNew, yeah you need to provide some more information about your hardware [03:43] let me cehck again hold on [03:44] probably amd [03:44] APU seems to be a AMD term [03:44] http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/apu-technology-explained/ [03:44] LeonIsNew: APU is what AMD calls their CPUs with integrated graphics. [03:44] LeonIsNew: Also, what CPU do you have. Not all CPUs that fit in the APU boards have integrated graphics. [03:44] i know what an apu is [03:44] and i dont have a cpu atm [03:45] apu is cpu+gpu thats alli know [03:45] im waiting for my cpu to come in [03:45] im just confused as to what in the world my motherboard means by onboard apu performance [03:45] sales-speak for "suppots AMD APU"? [03:46] yeah [03:46] Yeah, it supports CPUs with integrated graphics. It doesn't have onboard CPU or graphics built in. [03:46] alright, well, if i have ubunto installed on my external/internal hdd [03:46] I thought that APU was a character form the Simpsons? [03:47] and i have it in my new machine [03:47] it wont start up unless i have a cpu in it? [03:47] A PC won't boot without a CPU [03:47] soy_el_pulpo, is it spelled "apu" though? [03:47] lets c [03:47] okay see thats waht i wasnt sure about [03:47] soy_el_pulpo, indeed [03:47] i know more about gpu and stuff like that [03:47] lol [03:47] the whole box of electronics is only THERE to support the CPU (APU) [03:48] the *PU -IS- the computer [03:48] well anyway [03:48] hola mundo [03:48] im brand new to ubuntu, anything i should know? [03:48] like the human body, is there to keep the brain alive... [03:48] SoylentY_: ++ [03:49] soy_el_pulpo: ^ [03:49] how do i set a sound theme [03:49] grumble, forgot it's a big channel [03:49] anything i should know about using ubuntu? [03:49] Are you coming from Windows? [03:49] LeonIsNew: finish building the computer, install ubuntu, try it. [03:50] well ubuntu is installed on the hdd [03:50] i prefer the GNOME 3 version [03:50] and i cant exactly afford an Os atm [03:50] Unity i find irritating more often than not [03:50] #ubuntu-offtopic for this chit chat [03:50] ah you did say it's on the HD. If theres no data you want to keep, a clean install might be nice. [03:51] ubuntu is priced right though [03:51] ubuntu is free [03:51] yep [03:51] alien64 but we're talking about ubuntu, aren't we? [03:51] $£€¥0.00 [03:51] not support [03:51] so, what all should i know about ubuntu? [03:52] alien64 ah, i hadn't read the bit about official support channel [03:52] and when i say ubuntu is on my hdd, i mean i just installed it, today [03:52] what all should you know about toilet paper? [03:52] thats a hard Q to answer... maybe you're the bean counter at the TP company [03:52] LeonIsNew, you could start from here http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop [03:53] I would just say be patient... it takes some learning and getting used to. Don't expect it to be exactly like what you came from. And it's very customizable, so if there is something you don't like it can usually be changed (Don't like Ubuntu the Unity side dock, try installing XFCE, LXDE, or KDE or use Xubuntu, Lubuntu, Kubuntu) [03:53] should i be worried? [03:54] LeonIsNew, about what? [03:54] according to fedex...my cpu went from colorado, to illinois the state i live in, to kentucky [03:54] sounds about right [03:55] that shouldnt happen though [03:55] you might be surprised [03:55] !ot [03:55] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [03:56] i think im gonan head to bed, maybe my cpu will come tomorrow who knows [03:56] LeonIsNew: really, get the box together, install ubuntu clean, play with it, then come back with questions [03:56] Happens all the time, don't worry. Kentucky is a big parcel hub, lots of things in surrounding states go there for sorting and then back out.

[05:07] Seven_Six_Two: is it related to that then ? must it be that ? could it just be a side issue ? I also did some other things. I installed Tor, I did sommething else too, I was attempting to gksudo wiresharek, and it told me to do it another way , I had to allow normal users permission to analyze networks or whatever. and that didnt work out so well i dont think === root is now known as Guest98102 [05:09] ChRisHansen, Oh it could be a number of things, but it's generally your wm that controls default launchers. It isn't likely to be related to tor or wireshark. [05:10] ChRisHansen, sorry, I guess it would be "DE", not "WM" [05:11] Seven_Six_Two: ok [05:11] ChRisHansen, What does lubuntu use? is it XFCE4? [05:12] Seveas: LXDE [05:12] Seven_Six_Two: LXDE [05:12] timb_, thanks. ChRisHansen sorry, I don't know how to do it, but it would be related to LXDE settings.

[05:28] Seven_Six_Two: ok obviously this will be my homework for tonight. thanks and bbl tomorrow with more questions for SURE! [05:29] Seven_Six_Two: thanks for the help.. i will get on this asap [05:29] I have a usb pendrive and its not showing up the out put of lsusb is< Bus 001 Device 005: ID 1f75:0916 > and also when i open disk utility the device is there and when i format drive with mbr i get this error [05:29] ChRisHansen, any time! [05:30] thunder1212, what's the device that is showing up? [05:31] thunder1212: hey man i been having the same issues with usb drives, but yesterday i finally got it done by using unetbootin to create the start up live usb. if you format with disks app for some reson it default creates a w95 Bootable fat-32. it puts the casper /boot/wubi folders on your usb. at least it did for mine. am still learning about Ubuntu and USB drives but be cautios with the format option on Ubuntu. [05:31] thunder1212, what filesystem have you used, and is there only one partition? [05:32] ChRisHansen: ok will try that, thanks [05:32] thunder1212, are you booting from the usb key? [05:33] is there a /simple/ way to compile the ubuntu kernel?? [05:33] Seven_Six_Two: i used to but now its not formating so am not able to use ot [05:33] *it [05:34] Whiskey`Wonka, why are you compiling kernel? [05:34] thunder1212: dont let anyone tell you its a RAM issue, its not. [05:34] Seven_Six_Two: to enable some things that have been leftout [05:34] thunder1212, does it show up on another pc, or does another usb key show up when plugged into the same spot? [05:35] Whiskey`Wonka, do you need RT? drivers? [05:35] No i need toshiba kernel supprot [05:35] support even [05:35] Seven_Six_Two: i have tried all that, i think there is some issue with the usb drive [05:35] thunder1212: no dont go there, its not that . i am still learning but i will learn the answer to this in/out error with usb drives [05:36] thunder1212, have you tried repartitioning it without mbr and then creating single partition? [05:36] and formatting that ext3 [05:36] Seven_Six_Two: yes [05:36] ChRisHansen: dont go where? [05:37] Seven_Six_Two: so you have a solution to compiling kernel suppor witho ut compiling the kernel?? [05:37] Whiskey`Wonka, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [05:37] thunder1212: I mean hardware issue blaming. i bought a brand new usb stick and got the same error, as well as my RAM is fine [05:37] Whiskey`Wonka, it's not easy, that's why I asked. Some people make that mistake unnecessarily [05:37] ChRisHansen: ok, mine is also new! [05:38] Hello everyone, I installed grub4dos on my windows computer and I need to make windows as my default distro, I think it is done by editing menu.lst,but where IS menu.lst located in windows ?? [05:38] thunder1212: dont give up you will learn alot about drive partitioning and such solving this thing. [05:39] Seven_Six_Two: yea its not easy. infact its stupidly complex. makes me want to go back to gentoo cept their damn issues with ATi drivers never being stable has me soured for a bit. [05:39] this tochiba support issue with ubuntu is souring me real fast heh. [05:39] bah im so tired i can not type [05:39] what special hardware do they have? [05:40] Seven_Six_Two: i am trying to create bootable disk with unetboootin but the drive letter is not showing [05:40] i have no idea what is special about it. there is NO correct ACPI support with out the toshiba kernel packages [05:40] thunder1212, it won't show if there isn't a filesystem to mount [05:40] and some how they were left out of the mainline ubuntu kernel and installing the toshset tools does not trigger a kernel compile for them [05:41] Seven_Six_Two: ok any command to format it [05:41] this isnt the first broken support setup ive found on RR [05:41] thunder1212, do you have a gui? [05:41] Seven_Six_Two: yes [05:41] Seven_Six_Two: i have tried gparted also [05:43] thunder1212, try gnome-disks [05:43] Anyone know how to create a Makefile target that is a symlink to a non-existent file and have it look at the mtime of the symlink, not its destination? [05:43] Seven_Six_Two: i have tried the disk utility [05:44] h [05:44] thunder1212, does it show a partition or available space? [05:44] HI [05:44] [05:44] EVERYONE [05:46] Seven_Six_Two: disk utility shows not partitioned device: /dev/sdb model: SRT USB 3.0 JET 16G Volumes: Unknown 16GB [05:46] thunder1212, can you select it and create a new partition? [05:47] Seven_Six_Two: there is an option to format volume and format drive but both the options give an error as i have said earlier [05:47] thunder1212, you don't format yet. You have to make a partition first. [05:48] hmmm...That's not right. It shows that you can format an unpartitioned device? [05:48] Seven_Six_Two: how? the format drive option erases and partitions the drive [05:49] Seven_Six_Two: right. [05:50] What does Contents say? Unallocated Space (Master Boot Record) [05:50] mbr [05:50] basic disk [05:52] thunder1212, in disk manager, what happens if you use the "+" just under the blue box/ [05:53] Seven_Six_Two: can i share a screenshot with you and how? [05:55] ya thunder1212 [05:55] R44TWR4NGNULL: how? [05:55] thunder1212, yes, but I don't know how. maybe a pic sharing service [05:55] ya seven six two saying true [05:56] R44TWR4NGNULL, please don't be like that. you're not adding anything. [05:57] Hey guys [05:58] seven six two what do u mean [05:58] ? [05:58] can you tell me what the difference is between ubuntu desktop and ubuntu DVD? [05:59] SCC: the dvd only contains more languages [05:59] i think ubuntu desktop is install in pc [05:59] that's it? [05:59] and ubuntu dvd is live os [05:59] well actually ubuntu no longer fits on a cd right¿ [06:00] but if you want to view webpages or do writing in other languages, you still need the DVD right? [06:00] hm but u can take care of optical media [06:00] of os [06:00] xangua: the images that don't don't, those that do do [06:01] SCC: in the end both will deliver the same system [06:01] so it doesn't contain more applications than the DVD [06:01] gotcha [06:02] SCC: every ubuntu system can deliver the same system, you can install in every ubuntu version all the software packages [06:02] yea, i've just gotten a x61s and i'm debating to install ubuntu 12.04 or opensuse [06:02] SCC: you can try both with a live-cd and decide yourself which system you like more [06:02] gotcha, via the network right? [06:02] SCC: you install applications via the network, yes [06:02] !repos | SCC [06:02] SCC: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. [06:03] maybe one day they'll stop calling them DVD images just because they don't fit on CDs, which even the smaller images frequently no longer do :p [06:04] thanks iceroot and xangua [06:04] i already have the desktop iso, and i'm downloading the dvd right now. looks like it should stop the download [06:05] SCC: yes [06:05] heh yea [06:05] hi guys.. i have one quick question that bothers me. Does pidgin's facebook plugin works at all?? (i know the other ways to connect through, but i think the plugin is wasted...) [06:05] save more bandwidth [06:06] does anyone knows if pidgin's facebook plugin works ??? !! [06:07] satriani1: probably someone knows [06:07] I thought facebook just used xmpp [06:07] one more thing, how hard is it to develop a desktop environment [06:07] SCC: not hard at all [06:07] potentially tedious, however :) [06:08] reisio: yeah.. i know, but the pluggin has a lot of nice feautures!! :) [06:08] haha yea [06:08] do you guys know if there's book on this? [06:08] or should I just read through something like gnome's codebase and reverse engineer it [06:09] hi all [06:09] folks need help [06:09] after reboot my server with nginx stopped sending back packets [06:10] hey guys i installed ubuntu 13.04 Server but it's not showing the eth0. I tried to configure /etc/network/interfaces but still it shows there's no eth0 device when i run ifup eth0 command. Please Help. Thank You [06:10] by tcpdump i see incoming packets [06:10] iptables rules is clean [06:10] greyhatpython: hi, dmesg|grep eth [06:10] btw ghp nice book :) [06:10] trying now..... [06:10] ghp? [06:10] SCC: think about lxde, it's essentially lxpanel+openbox+assortment of applications, and it would be considered a DE even though it's not as truly cohesive as unity [06:11] greyhatpython: what's in /sys/class/net/ ? [06:12] hi corehook it's detecting the hardware [06:12] oh, ghp [06:12] grAy, innit? :p [06:12] But i am not sure why it's running the network i have configured auto eth0 dhcp [06:12] reisio checking now [06:13] reisio it shows em1 lo vibr0 [06:13] But no eth0... [06:15] aeon-ltd you are right. i'm fairly good at c#, and I was thinking about writing one with it. always in the back of my mind. never seriously looked into it [06:15] ghp==grayhatpython [06:15] greyhatpython: it's possible it could be one of those you want [06:15] 3800216120168 [06:15] 3800216120168 [06:15] demonoid_me: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [06:15] but you are right, it's essentially just those things [06:15] I don't keep up with Ubuntu's network device naming [06:15] Seven_Six_Two: http://troll.ws/image/4fbcf2ee [06:15] reisio i think i need to rename em1 to eth0? [06:16] possibly the reverse, someone else will know [06:16] 3800216120168 [06:17] i don't know why server is not detecting eth0 while the desktop detects seamlessly.... [06:18] potentially because not using eth0 is more beneficial to servers, which might have more network devices [06:18] greyhatpython: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/PredictableNetworkInterfaceNames/ [06:18] greyhatpython: but again, I don't know what Ubuntu does in this regard [06:18] Does anyone know if I have to do anything special to get /etc/pam.d/remote working in Ubuntu? I created one, but it doesn't seem to be doing anything. Is this file just not supported? [06:18] thunder1212, can you show me the 500 selected? [06:18] ok i am checking [06:19] thunder1212, are you on 12.04 [06:19] Grivvel: what is it you'd like it to do?

[06:20] reisio: I'm trying to use the google-authenticator auth module with shellinabox [06:21] complex [06:21] reisio: I have it working when connecting with normal ssh, but shellinabox seems to bypass that and just ask for a password.

[06:25] has anyone a hint? [06:26] hi [06:26] hygl_: either your software locally changed a day or two ago, or the upstream servers' did [06:26] thunder1212: hi [06:27] reisio: thought perhaps it would have been a known issue. [06:27] hygl_, try deleting and re-adding the account in gwibber. [06:27] reisio nothing works..... [06:27] greyhatpython: for what? [06:28] reisio i actually skipped network configuration during the installation of ubuntu server [06:28] Seven_Six_Two: yes? [06:28] is that affecting the network eth0 not being enabled? [06:29] try a ipconfig eth0 up [06:29] if the iface is down, it's not going to be able to transmit data [06:29] sorry, ifconfig [06:29] ipconfig is windows >_< [06:30] ifconfig is deprecated [06:30] please use iproute2 [06:30] thunder1212, oh that's all. I don't have any further suggestions. It does seem to be good and borked. [06:30] oh right [06:30] greyhatpython: maybe you should talk to the server channel: /msg alis list *ubunt*serv* [06:31] greyhatpython, does anything show up for ifconfig -a [06:34] Seven_Six_Two: now gwibber crashes when I try to readd the account. [06:35] hygl_, looks like a bug. can you kill gwibber and restart it from the terminal [06:36] Seven_Six_Two it's showing em1 for eth0 [06:36] greyhatpython, I'm not sure what you mean by em1 [06:36] well it's showing like that [06:36] there's now eth0 [06:36] no eth0 [06:37] lo and vibr0 listed [06:37] oh, it shows em1 where you would expect to see eth0. [06:37] can you do sudo service networking restart [06:37] and tell me what happens [06:38] clockworks, hey I didn't know it was dep. thanks. [06:39] Seven_Six_Two it's shows network is running [06:39] how can I use smartscopes to do calculations in the dash [06:39] Seven_Six_Two: Found the reason: https://dev.twitter.com/blog/api-v1-retirement-final-dates === oleg is now known as Guest17482 [06:41] greyhatpython: https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2012-August/035670.html [06:41] so, as conjectured [06:41] think gwibber still uses 1.0 api. [06:42] hygl_, perhaps the new api is used in 13.04's gwibber [06:42] np Seven_Six_Two === clockworks is now known as blockworks [06:42] Seven_Six_Two: didn't they replace gwibber with the friends app in 13.04? [06:43] hygl_, I have no idea. I don't have friends. [06:44] Seven_Six_Two, :O [06:44] gotwig, no need to worry.

[09:14] wiat [09:15] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5760808/ [09:15] here [09:15] ztyuio: well an messing with /etc/passwd is a nice way to break things [09:16] well do you understand ? [09:16] what is the probleme is [09:16] ztyuio: grml, drop the "-r" [09:17] i simply asking you to add bashwhatever-to-be-added and your command add whatever-to-be-added in everywhere [09:18] ztyuio: it added stuff to the end... which is what you wanted [09:18] ztyuio: sed '1 s/$/whatever-to-be-added/' file to add text to the end of first line of file [09:19] I am running lubuntu and can not open links on irc into firefox with a click, instead it opens a abiword document. i wanted to change this, so i want to edit local/share/applications/default.list i think , but when i gedit this or nano this, i just get a blank gedit or a blank nanoscreen? how to do this ? [09:20] ztyuio: ah now i see the problem. my bad, wrong paste from a line used before. [09:22] any one here? === Matthew is now known as Guest53430 [09:22] Matthew: type your wuestiona dnwait [09:22] mathew i think we have more than one in the list [09:23] Matthew: +1 [09:24] hello [09:24] hi ... using synaptic package manager on 12.04 i just wanted to install 'httrack'. however there is a warning "You are about to install software that cant be authenticated blablabla ...". never had this before. its a package from the ubuntu repositories, so why this warning. what should i do? [09:25] pilsa: can you run a "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get upgrade" in terminal and show the output in a pastebin? [09:25] ubuntu 12.04.2 system is not booting no error or anything just stops at the ubuntu screen with dots and does not boot further. running on my laptop dell vostro 1450 [09:26] dfghjk76567: hey man it sounds like you need to change your boot priority and boot from usb bro [09:26] ChRisHansen: then what? [09:26] k1l_, unfortunately not. right now i'm on a volume limited intenet connection and dont want to waste volume on a system update/upgrade. [09:26] dfghjk76567: then reinstall Ubuntu [09:27] I have an interesting apt-get behaviour on 12.04 64-bit [09:27] ChRisHansen: :) wow great but what is the problem that its not booting because i made no change anywhere? [09:28] I am running apt-get remove sun-java6-bin and it offers me to install 149 packages [09:28] ballock use pastebin to show it to the channel [09:28] ChRisHansen: and what if this is repeated? [09:28] mostly :i386 [09:28] sorry [09:29] k1l_, interesting, its not specific to "httrack" but other packages, too. system corrupted? [09:29] what's this [09:29] http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5760833/ [09:29] k1l_, i'll do the update/upgrade later. thx. [09:29] dfghjk76567: then get to another computer with a new usb and create a live USB bootable drive using unetbootin and a good download of Ubuntu "whatever distro". you can check your distroiso for md5sum first to see if its good [09:31] ChRisHansen: is there some issue with newer ubuntu versions and dell laptops? [09:31] dfghjk76567: did you do a clean install or are you installing along side of windows etc? did you do a wubi.exe install? [09:31] llutz: your command work but properly [09:31] dfghjk76567: no clue about dell and Ubuntu issue [09:31] dfghjk76567: shouldnt be [09:31] ChRisHansen: no its a clean install / swap home [09:31] dfghjk76567: use Unetbootin then with a new usb i guess [09:31] look at here : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5760847/ [09:32] dfghjk76567: thats just my method , i just keep at it until it sticks , if you make sure you got a good Live USB with a good .iso then it should be good. [09:32] ztyuio: man sed (-i is what you want) [09:33] ztyuio: and again, don't mess with /etc/passwd [09:33] perfect working [09:33] now if i want to add |whatever-to-be-added instead of whatever-to-be-added what i have to do ? [09:34] ztyuio: why are you messing with the passwd file anyway? you're probably going to break your system [09:34] Is there an option to apt-get so it explains why it wants to install those packages? [09:34] ztyuio what do you want to achieve, what's the end goal, maybe there's a better solution? [09:34] sorry [09:35] k1l_, i just did "sudo apt-get update" (without upgrade). everything back to normal. thanks. [09:35] now if i want to add /whatever-to-be-added instead of whatever-to-be-added what i have to do ? [09:35] dfghjk76567: if you have one of those "made for windows" computers then maybe that is the problem , I am not sure but if my pc said made for windows on it I might not try to run Ubuntu. [09:35] ChRisHansen: no [09:35] dfischer: lol then your good [09:36] ChRisHansen: uh, just about every computer has a windows sticker on it. they run linux just fine [09:36] Ben64: oh lord, I never stop learning. thank you . [09:36] ztyuio: change the part you want to add, you might need to escape the / using \/ [09:36] i m just trying to understand === abel_ is now known as joseph [09:37] ztyuio: understand what? and why won't you answer why you want to mess with /etc/passwd ? [09:37] for can you post the command ? llutz [09:37] don't worry i m not working on it [09:37] ztyuio: man sed, and ##bash would be more appropraite [09:38] ztyuio: every one of your examples has been on it [09:38] i take /etc/passwd as contains lots of information simply [09:38] ztyuio: stupid thing, never mess with system-files [09:38] ztyuio: trying to get the helpful Ubuntu nerds to help you hack passwords lol?

My ntfs partition is mounted as /123 I want it to mount as /maindata [09:44] so it seems removing sun-java6-bin fails the sun-java6-jre package [09:45] ztyuio: man sed, and ##bash would be more appropraite [09:45] and this package depends on either sun-java6-bin or ia32-sun-java6 [09:45] ballock: so it seems [09:45] and apt-get tries to install ia-32-sun-java [09:45] it seems it's too simple dependency resolution on apt-get's part [09:46] my all programs are closed :( [09:46] this is the file [09:46] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5760876/ [09:46] you can see Flash player settings dialog unclickable by going to youtube.com and right click on running video and click setting you will stuck thre after [09:46] ballock: `interesting [09:46] ballock: do you want oracle java?

[10:33] ChRisHansen: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2012/08/textmate2-goes-open-source-could-come-to-linux seen this [10:33] ChRisHansen gedit reads text files, not links, use a browser to open links [10:34] MonkeyDust: no what i am trying to do is get my clicker to open the link from irc to firefox again like before , now when i click a link here it opens abiword. i need to change that [10:35] ChRisHansen i had a similar issue, go and look in ~/.local/share/applications/mimeapps.list there may be something wring there [10:35] wrong* [10:35] ActionParsnip: well good on Allan Odgaard for that . [10:36] ok let me check that path, should i gedit it or nano it ? [10:36] ChRisHansen: not bad, I prefer vi [10:36] ChRisHansen: either is fine, nano is just a terminal based editor [10:37] one question, if I want to see files reading/writting by an application [10:37] I can see them by typing lsof, right? [10:38] or lsof -c process-name [10:38] for specific process [10:38] right?

[10:41] ChRisHansen: editing anything outside your home directory will very likely require root privileges, use gksudo gedit [10:42] auronandace: oh lord just as soon as i looked it up in the support and it said the same thing i gotta gksudo it first duh ? [10:43] auronandace: at least i did my homework and i understand the concept now of sudo su and gksudo [10:43] ChRisHansen try a simpler path to test gedit, still a blank page? === mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|lunch [10:45] MonkeyDust: yeah still blank , my mimeapps.list is blank after gksudo but it opened a untitled document1.?

[14:12] LeonIsNew: I'd say look at the wine database to see whether the apps will run, some things do, some don't [14:12] yes [14:12] Yes its free [14:12] LeonIsNew: Yep; so is the PlayOnLinux frontend [14:12] okay, i actually didnt know wine was on linux [14:13] i used it on my macbook to play resident evil 4 so i know it works for that [14:13] LeonIsNew: Wine also has its own irc channel for support ##winehq, the people there should be able to give you more detailed help if you need it [14:13] But it's not very stable [14:14] hi there :-) Can somebody help me with a usb3 problem in 13.04? [14:16] Pegaso_R: that depends on the question, doesn't it? [14:16] my sharkoon base for 4 hard disks is not waorking in 13.04 if I use a usb3 cable... was working in 12.10, but now it doesnt [14:17] if I boot the computer with it connected it works, but if I unplug and hotplug again, it doesnt [14:17] #dev [14:17] it works perfectly if I use a usb2 cable [14:17] Cool, my console network speedtest project on github needs only 2 stars to reach 100. Maybe it could come in handy for someone here? https://github.com/Janhouse/tespeed [14:18] join #dev [14:18] ok, thx :-) [14:19] How can I update my live Ubuntu in 2GB pen drive? I try first thing to update it but it runs out of space.

[14:23] Guest41706: It means that nick is registered with NickServ and you can't use it. [14:23] what is the chat for bonhi Linux? [14:23] guest, you are usung registered nickes, try something "not so common" ;-) [14:23] !bodh [14:23] !bodhi [14:23] !alis | Guest41706 [14:23] Guest41706: 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* [14:30] does anybody know if there is some activity in #dev at some special time of the day? === JesseC is now known as Guest4971 [14:34] #anonymous [14:35] How can I update my live Ubuntu in 2GB pen drive? I try first thing to update it but it runs out of space. [14:36] neo2: You can't update a Live image like that. [14:36] neo2 why update something temporary? when you switch off the pc, it's gone === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [14:37] SonikkuAmerica, so how can I? [14:37] MonkeyDust, err, sorry it's not a live CD, it's a bootable usb drive [14:37] neo2: uninstall unused apps tp free space, libreoffice is a good one to pull off [14:37] neo2 after the upgrade, you'll have to reboot for the kernel upgrade and all will be lost, so what's the use? [14:38] ok [14:38] ActionParsnip, lol it's so simple.. [14:38] Pegaso_R: We don't know things about arbitrary channels, especially ones that have nothing to do with Ubuntu. [14:38] neo2: In addition to what ActionParsnip said, if you need a word processor or something, put GNOME Office (AbiWord and Gnumeric) on. [14:39] pici, somebody from here sent me to that channel when I assked a question here.... [14:39] i thought it was related somehow... [14:39] Pegaso_R: They probably meant #ubuntu-dev [14:39] Or maybe not [14:39] Pegaso_R: They weren't answering you. [14:39] oops, heheh, sorry then [14:40] it was a question about a usb3 device that is not working in 13.04 (but was working in 12.10)... could it be they were sending me to #ubuntu-dev? [14:41] y heeeeeere? [14:41] Pegaso_R: Not sure... but #ubuntu-dev only has one person in it... [14:42] !ot | Benihana68 [14:42] Benihana68: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [14:42] ok, then I'll try my question later to see if there's any luck :-) [14:42] Pegaso_R: Probably not, our devel channels are really for support. [14:42] If I want to type n ""n" with a ~ over it... rather than opening the character map, searching for the one I want, and doing a copy/paste... is there a simple keystroke I can use? [14:43] an "n" with a ~ over it, that is [14:43] ñ [14:43] SuperLag: you can redefine a key on the keyboard...research xmodmap [14:43] SuperLag: You might also try the Alt Gr keyboard layout. === pbcw is now known as pbccw [14:45] th0r: heh, I use a similar remap to eliminate the Caps Lock, and make it Ctrl [14:45] SuperLag: [14:45] SuperLag: yeah...capslock is why I first learned about it [14:46] setxkbmap -option "ctrl:nocaps" [14:46] I have that autostart, when I set up my external displays [14:47] you might find http://spanish.about.com/od/writtenspanish/a/dia_ubuntu.htm interesting [14:47] I haven't figured out how to get the system to automatically enable my external displays, when I get to work and dock my ThinkPad [14:47] Is it possible to move the /home folder with everything in it to another partition? [14:47] jeremiah_: Yes [14:47] jeremiah_: copy it to the new partition, change fstab, and once you are satisfied it is all working fine....delete the old /home [14:48] What i want to do, is to duel boot, and i want to have Ubuntu on one partition, Windows on another, and all my data on a third partition. I want to beable to see all my info from bothe oses [14:48] Pumpkin-: good stuff. Thank you. [14:48] jeremiah_: nope....windows can't read a linux format partition, and /home has to be a linux partition I believe [14:49] jeremiah... windows cant see linux partitions... [14:49] th0r, What is fstab??? I have been hearing a lot about it lately, yet still don't know [14:49] th0r, Isn't there a partition both can read? [14:49] jeremiah_: /etc/fstab, where the initial mount points are defined [14:49] th0r, Ah [14:49] jeremiah_: both can read vfat and ntfs, but /home can't be in those formats [14:49] .. [14:50] th0r, Ah... [14:50] th0r, Is there any alternative/loophole? [14:50] jeremiah_: there is some support for windows reading ext3....but I wouldn't depend on it, and it is an addon, not from microsoft [14:50] but, jeremiah... i suppose what you want to share between both OS is only "your documents" and not all your /home [14:50] th0r, Ah.... So basically, no real alt? [14:51] jeremiah_: you can put your data in an ntfs partition and mount it to /home/data or some such...keep all your pictures, docs, music, in that partition [14:51] Pegaso_R, Yes, but that means placing it all into a seperate file.. :/ [14:51] th0r, ^ [14:52] Would it be possible to have my windows my computer linked to ubuntu? [14:52] Hello world! [14:52] not really, not easily anyways [14:52] SuperLag: can you please help me. [14:52] what does this command mean? [14:52] arp -s 172.16.0.1 00:10:18:74:d4:3c [14:53] zaZa: have you read the arp manpage? [14:53] So basically, I'm boned.. [14:53] since, I am in somewhere, and it says "to protect urself from arp soof, run that command" [14:53] jeremiah_: using a shared NTFS partition for casual data is going to be easiest. Also makes backups super simple [14:53] ActionParsnip; what does this command mean, arp -s 172.16.0.1 00:10:18:74:d4:3c [14:53] zaZa: have you read the arp man page? [14:53] ActionParsnip, That would be the idea... In case one os or the other fails... [14:53] jeremiah_: indeed [14:54] jeremiah_: it's not the most convenient of suggestions... but maybe you should look into a NAS appliance for the data you want to share between OSes [14:54] is this a 'evil' command? arp -s 172.16.0.1 00:10:18:74:d4:3c [14:54] ActionParsnip, But also to be able to swap in between oses, and have all my data easily accessed in both [14:54] Hey! I'm trying to open xbmc with an Xbox 360 game controller. The remote works in games and in xbmc, but I can't map a key to open an application. Any tips? :) [14:55] zaZa: Its a new arp table entry. Its 'evilness' depends on the context. [14:55] SuperLag, I guess i could look into it... [14:55] jeremiah_: this is really sneaky...mount the entire windows partition to someplace like /mnt/windows, then create soft links such as /home/pictures to the pictures folder in /mnt/windows...etc [14:55] th0r, So, mount my files into a partition.. I think we must go deeper... [14:56] Pici: I am in a hotel, and they say, "Protect yourself from ARP spoof, run this command: arp -s 172.16.0.1 00:10:18:74:d4:3c [14:56] jeremiah_: mount the entire C drive to a mount point like /mnt/windows, then link individual folders in C drive /home [14:56] also, im using their wifi [14:56] and they told me to run that command to protect myself from arp spoof [14:56] jeremiah_: yes, a separate NTFS partition will fix that as Windows can only access a few file systems, so you accommodate its shortcomings [14:56] th0r I guess that could potentially work.. [14:57] zaZa: dude. Just don't worry about it. [14:57] jeremiah_: it would appear to be /home/user/pictures, but would really be /mnt/windows/Users/my documents/ pictures....or whatever windows calls it [14:57] are you sure, superlag [14:57] zaZa: the chances of that happening in a hotel you're only going to be in for a limited time... very very slim [14:57] th0r, I get the idea... [14:57] th0r, I guess i could try that out. === Logan is now known as Guest7783 [14:57] zaZa: I'd be more wary of adding a new custom arp table entry. [14:57] th0r, Whenever i have time, I'll try it out [14:57] yeah, no kidding [14:58] Thnx guys! Toodloo! [14:58] zaZa: Beyond "protecting" from a potential mitm, that doesn't do squat :P [14:58] Even then, I'm hesitant to consider that some kind of "mitigation" against arp spoofing. [14:59] /part [14:59] I see [14:59] Mark_: well, I use their wifi and they told me "protect yourself from arp spoof and run that command" so I did, now I am wondering if they can get my pws and stuff... [15:00] zaZa: Anyone who controls intermediate network devices can inject, steal, monitor your data streams passively if you don't encrypt to the end point. [15:01] hello all. im move my finger around on the touch pad and lines follow the cursor like i was in paint [15:01] Mark_: I just ran that command, am I safe? [15:01] ugh.... how many times [15:01] zaZa: No, not at all. [15:02] zaZa: I agree with Mark_ as well [15:03] infact running that command, depending on who gave that to you could actually be a bad thing [15:03] hello all. im move my finger around on the touch pad and lines follow the cursor like i was in paint [15:03] "This command prevents your machine from arp netcut" [15:04] hmm... whenever i try to mount my tablet, i get this message: DBus error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.NoReply: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.

[15:10] auronandace: i wasn't sure if zorin had their own channel or not, so thought i'd ask in here seeing as though it's based on 12.04 [15:10] thanks [15:11] hello friends. I thought I remembered a way to have a live rsync continually run. does anybody by chance know what that is offhand? [15:11] wolverine better to use the comps manufacturers website [15:12] djono - they redirect to the Intel site.. lol [15:14] wolverine is a new install of windows? [15:15] roasted: cron? [15:15] SonikkuAmerica: I found it, I think. it's async. === mpmc_ is now known as mpmc [15:15] SonikkuAmerica: it's basically a continual rsync, forever. not scheduled. [15:15] Oh. [15:15] roasted: rsync dosen't monitor filesystem changes, you'd need to write a script/daemon to check for changes then run rsync [15:15] ahhh [15:15] no, same windows install.. I was using ubuntu from live usb because the system file was corrupt, and needed to do a copy of the old hives from the C:/Windows folder... and I didn't have the WIndows XP CD [15:16] (sorry, that was @djono) [15:16] u need the xp drivers [15:17] djono, yeah.. the intel website has this Java applet that detects your OS, and hardware and downloads the appropriate drivers.. [15:17] still doesn't work.. [15:17] SonikkuAmerica, w4ve, I lied, it's lsyncd. just for what it's worth. :D [15:17] Ah. [15:18] I'm wondering if Using wifi on ubuntu changed something in the card itself? Is that even possible? [15:18] some config settings, so that now Windows can't understand the card? [15:18] roasted: Yah it looks like lsyncd is just a daemon that monitors tree changes and then starts rsync, thats pretty neat [15:19] w4ve: should come in handy for a linux based surveillance system. That way if 1st box is stolen or blows up, a live copy is existent elsewhere. :D [15:19] no ubuntu wouldnt change anything === Jikan is now known as Jikai [15:20] Hmm.. I guess I'll try the drivers one more time [15:21] roasted: It would be interesting to see how well rsync will work for this purpose. I guess it depends on how your dvr software records/writes files. [15:21] w4ve: I use Motion from the repos, so things are recorded as AVIs right to a specific directory. [15:22] w4ve: rsync would work brilliantly, but rsync can only run if triggered, whether manually or via cron. [15:22] w4ve: I kind of wanted a raid 1 mirror style setup, just between 2 boxes instead of 2 internal drives. === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [15:25] roasted: I understand the limitations of rsync, but from what ive read it looks like lsyncd is just a daemon that starts rsync when it finds a file system change. Im just interested to see the network/proccessing toll from constantly scanning the files for changes and copying them. (Because the video file will always be changing) [15:25] roasted: that is called replication [15:26] roasted: you will have to independent servers that are replicating the content of a share or filesystem [15:26] soy_el_pulpo: lsyncd is actualy doing exactly as I want. Just fired it up. [15:27] soy_el_pulpo: I just want a raw copy of data on a 2nd server thats always updated [15:28] hiii [15:29] roasted: great, take a look at: Distributed Replicated Block Device (DRBD) in the Ubuntu server guide === mpmc_ is now known as mpmc [15:30] soy_el_pulpo: what would that provide me that lsyncd doesn't? [15:30] not sure, never used lsyncd ;) === _BJfreeman is now known as BJfreeman [15:31] I'm having some problems with my ld linker for gcc/g++ - it keeps trying to use the linker stored at /usr/local/bin rather than the one stored at /usr/bin - any ideas how to fix that? === mpmc_ is now known as mpmc === Jikai is now known as Jikan [15:39] Hi [15:39] I've installed qt4-qtconfig === Jikan is now known as Jikai [15:41] If I open the tool and I edit the font settings, clicking on File->Save, this string appears in the statusbar: 'Saved changes.'

[15:42] mprat: change the order of your $PATH.

[17:37] just rm -r /path/to/folder [17:37] SteveBell, give me the exact path === follower is now known as changeover [17:38] SteveBell, I need to know the exact command [17:38] you're using [17:38] hello all. how do i enable finger resting on an integrated touchpad? [17:38] bin_bash: he's using "do rm -r /path/to/file". he doesn't need the "do" [17:38] bin_bash I'm on antoher machine but it looks like '/media/longRowOfLettersAndNumbers/media/Data1' (data1 is the target drive name, where the files were intended to go but it was disconnected so now I have that data1 folder on the ubuntu drive. [17:38] Is Ubuntu open source???? [17:39] Ilhami: From memory, the server side is closed source, client side may be open source [17:39] Does anyone know how I can find "(LLVM_OBJ_ROOT)" ? [17:40] $ dchroot -d [17:40] W: No chroots are defined in ‘/etc/schroot/schroot.conf’ or ‘/etc/schroot/chroot.d’ [17:40] E: default: Chroot not found [17:40] what exactly do I need to put in one of those files [17:40] bin_bash: ok without "do" it seems to be working. but I get asked for every single file if I want to remove write-protected regular file [17:40] SteveBell, lol. [17:40] wow [17:41] in the future [17:41] when someone says "do " [17:41] hey guys, i wanted to ask some questions about the difference between ubuntu and xubuntu [17:41] the do is not included [17:41] error404_, they're the same OS just different DE/WM [17:41] error404 xubuntu is really lightweight [17:41] but both the same [17:41] well i am running an old dell c400 laptop with half gig ram and 20 gig harddrive and im currently on ubuntu 12.4. 32bit [17:42] error404_, i wouldn't use ubuntu at all. [17:42] and i have been using it for almost 6 months, i love it but the desktop environ is slow [17:42] Pegaso_R: not really sure.. i did however find this bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/775543 [17:42] yeah definately xbuntu or lubuntu [17:42] Launchpad bug 775543 in linux (Ubuntu) "1033:0194 xhci_hcd: Timeout while waiting for a slot - Issue with USB3 hard disk on 11.04 x86_64" [High,Expired] [17:42] error404_, I'd use a more lightweight distro like crunchbang [17:42] Pegaso_R: it sounds like thats the same issue you are having [17:42] Windows > Ubuntu :) [17:42] crunchbang if u don't care about gui [17:42] I'm using pinguy 12.04 LTS on a vm works great [17:42] hi there. I need help with a screen problem in ubuntu 10.04. The desktop does not fill all the laptop's screen [17:43] i prefer lucid puppy [17:43] Ilhami, take it elsewhere [17:43] Ilhami torl xDD [17:43] LOL [17:43] Ilhami: This channel isn't for discussion about which is better [17:43] error404_, crunchbang is a lightweight debian-based distro that uses openbox. it's probably the best choice for your dilemma [17:43] sere: thx... saw that one before, but i think it's a bit different... [17:43] well in the six months i have had ubuntu i have collected a good bit of info (dosbox programs, snes emu's, some writings, some pictures ect ect.) [17:43] !rude [17:43] I removed it [17:43] why would anyone choose Ubuntu over Windows? [17:43] lol [17:43] if i install xubuntu from synaptic will i keep those files? [17:43] ok just checking [17:43] Serious question [17:43] error404_, no it doesn't work like that. you don't just install xubuntu from synaptic [17:43] ilhami... theres no such thing as stupid questions [17:44] sere: and remember my dock was working when I was using 12.10.... that's the strange thing [17:44] Ilhami, not for this channel [17:44] where should I ask then? in the #PHP channel? [17:44] I thought I had removed it before, but I forgot to check [17:44] !ot | Ilhami [17:44] Ilhami: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:44] and apparently I hadn't [17:44] well on the xfce website it said i could get the xubuntu desktop environment from synaptic and i went on and it was there [17:44] error404_, your stuff is running slow because you're using emulators. lol. uninstall unity and install openbox or lxde [17:44] how to clean our history of file that we used in all program in ubuntu [17:44] Ilhami, this is ubuntu support only. NOT chit chat [17:44] ? [17:44] Ilhami, crunchbang. puppy linux or a new computer [17:44] error404_, you can get xfce from synaptic. not xubuntu [17:45] ok thank you bin bash you have been awesome informative [17:45] bin_bash, error404_: you can install any/all of the packages that are included in xubuntu from apt. [17:45] sere: that bug talks about connecting to a usb2 port, but I'm always connectin to usb3 port (i just use usb2 cable)... don't know if that makes the same effect than when they use usb2 port in that bug... [17:45] so by adding crunchbag and removing unity i will have less desktop intreface lagg? [17:46] pici... i agree i went on synaptic and it said i could get the whole desktop environment from there [17:46] Unity is really bad.. Whats the alternatives? GNOME? [17:46] sere: I've been lookin for similar cases on the internet, but I must confess I'm totally lost in this one :-/ [17:46] and that i could choose to boot ubuntu or xubuntu at login [17:46] gnome-shell Ilhami [17:46] error404_: 'boot' wouldn't be the right word there, but yes, at login you can choose what session you'd like to use. [17:47] Pegaso_R: it looks like you did your homework.. great report :).. only wish i couldnt help :x [17:47] error404_, no. it doesn't work like that. you can install xfce and then choose which you use at login [17:47] your right pici i see my phrasing error [17:47] just use some liveusb and test it out [17:47] bazhang I heard about some other alternatives before... hmm.. can you mention them? [17:47] So I'm trying to select all of the plain text configuration files from a folder that DON'T contain a certain configuration line (like authid="username") and copy them into another folder. Do you guys have any tricks for this? [17:47] !notunity | Ilhami [17:47] Ilhami: 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. [17:47] Pegaso_R: do you think it could be and issue with the kernel? since it did work [17:47] sere: thanks anyway, at least you tried! :-) [17:47] is crunchbag available in synaptic or do i have to go to a website and unpack tar.gz or something like that [17:47] how do i enable finger resting on an integrated touchpad? [17:48] sere: duno... but could be [17:48] crunch bang is a whole nother distro [17:48] error404_: crunchbang is another distro, not Ubuntu. We don't support it here. [17:48] LOL this bot is really annoying :) thanks for the answer [17:48] w4ve0fl4g: some pipe like grep -ri | awk | xargs cp ... [17:48] Pegaso_R: ofcourse anytime :) [17:48] I'll try a couple more things, and then report as bug if I cannot find anything [17:48] error404_: Crunchbang is a different Operating System. You'll need to go to #crunchbang for help [17:48] oh ok pici that is vital info [17:48] Ilhami if you want something fast use puppy linux [17:49] whats puppy linux? [17:49] Ilhami: It is a different linux distribution. [17:49] Not Ubuntu. [17:49] Is it fast? [17:49] Ilhami: Ask the puppy linux support - we really dont know :) [17:50] do they have a channel? [17:50] thank you, and bin_bash... if i wanted to wipe my system and do a fresh OS reimage i would just get the xubuntu live cd and make a usb boot disk [17:50] Ilhami: Yes, they do [17:50] for ur system puppy linux would be the fastest [17:50] #puppylinux? [17:50] Ilhami: Try #puppylinux [17:51] im trying to go from ubuntu 12.4 to xubuntu while retaining the information i already have [17:51] why dude? Why to xubuntu? [17:51] error404_: You should backup everything then. [17:51] error404 just get the xubuntu shell. nothing will be lost [17:51] error404_: install xubuntu-desktop [17:52] Hey there. I was wondering if anybody could possible be of any help to me. I have been using Ubuntu for a while and absolutely love it. I by no means ever want to go back to windows, but the time has come when I need to purchace a new laptop. I really want to get the dell xps12 which is a laptop/tablet hybrid. before buying this computer I would like to know if I can install Ubuntu on it and still get complete fuctionality out of it [17:52] because ubuntu is running slowly in environment and i read and hear that xubuntu is a much lighter gui interfacew [17:52] it can be used in tablet mode as well as laptop mode [17:52] most of what i use my system for is playing games and practicing CLI from the linux bible or from "The Command Line" [17:52] error404 how much ram do u have? [17:53] changeover why did you assume I have a bad slow computer? :D [17:53] error404_: xubuntu is lighter, but you don't need to reinstall to try it. [17:53] how to backup our current ubuntu that is good state,?and can we give choice in grub menu to recover the backup? [17:53] if u can't handle ubuntu and ur asking questions about xubuntu and puppy [17:53] half gig of ram 20 gig harddrive dell c400 [17:54] its a crappy old laptop [17:54] changeover I am just a curious man :) [17:54] thats why its just for video games and CLI practice [17:54] bin_bash: ok that's noted :P [17:54] I want to learn about the differences.. I can run Ubuntu and I had it for a period [17:54] !ot | Ilhami [17:54] Ilhami: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [17:54] hi why ubuntu 10.04 doesn't fill all the screen? [17:54] change your resolution settings [17:54] error404_: That's not a lot of Ram to run a full version of Ubuntu/Unity. Lighter-weight distros will be a better alternative. [17:54] bin_bash: cana I extend that command so that I don't get asked for every single file to confirm it's deletion [17:55] SteveBell: The rm -rf (force) will do that. [17:55] merci kboodu [17:55] SteveBell: Just remember it won't ask for anything...it will just DO IT. [17:55] i understand this kboodu thats why i wanted to see if xubuntu would be easier, and i never asked about puppy. i was considering xubuntu or lubuntu for the faster desktop GUI [17:55] the problem is that the resolution is ok but at the right of screen are a black space [17:55] how much code does it take to make a OS like Ubuntu??? [17:55] error404_: You might be better off asking in those channels. [17:56] Pegaso_R: something to maybe look at " Is it reusing the suspend/resume code of xhci.c? " [17:56] Ilhami, this is not the right place to ask that [17:56] then they should be perfect for u. i use lubuntu with unity shell [17:56] Ilhami: that's a question for #ubuntu-offtopic [17:56] Ilhami: Millions of lines. [17:56] error404_: what's the spec of the machine you're running it on? [17:56] bazhang it's ubuntu related? [17:56] kboodu: using rm -rf folderPath I get cannot remove, permission denied [17:56] I thought you could ask anything ubuntu-related [17:56] Ilhami, not tech support, no its not [17:57] is there a channel for Ubuntu-dev? [17:57] Ilhami, this is tech support only, as I have said many times now [17:57] SteveBell: That's because someone other than "you" (whatever account you're running the "rm" as) owns a file(s). [17:57] error404 lucid puppy is ubuntu based [17:57] gordonjcp running half gig of ram 20 gig harddrive... scroll up dude [17:57] SteveBell: You can solve this with "sudo rm -rf /full/path" but be aware that this will delete everything with no questions. VERY DANGEROUS. [17:58] how do i enable finger resting on an integrated touchpad? [17:58] changeover: Do you mean you want to disable the touchpad? [17:58] Do you think Ubuntu supports that? :) [17:59] so all i really needed to know before i got all this excess info is .... if i install the xubuntu desktop from synaptic can i still access all my docs pics .zip files? [17:59] im one of those click with the index and move pointer with middle finger type users. when i rest my index on the touch pad i cant move the pointer with the middle finger [17:59] error404 yes yes and yes [17:59] error404_, it's not called the xubuntu desktop. it's called xfce. [18:00] thank you, and while keeping these accessable, i will be accessing them from a lighter less resource consuming system? [18:00] error404_, no. [18:00] error404_, you're not understanding [18:00] error404_, the only difference is that XFCE is a slightly smaller and more "lightweight" DE [18:00] that's it [18:00] kboodu. its a new system with an intergrated touchpad/button [18:01] changeover, is it a clickpad [18:01] error404 got to distrowatch and do research [18:01] bin_bash yes its an all in one. so the button is integrated with the touchpad. [18:01] Portuguese or English? [18:01] so i would be better off backing up my shit and making a new boot disk of a different OS [18:02] error404_: to be honest there's not really much difference in performance between Unity and XFCE [18:02] bin_bash: I think he means xubuntu-desktop, as in the pointer package [18:02] distrowatch is a cool site showing how many bots clicked something. And its offtopic. :) [18:02] error404_: especially not once you've got masses of RAM, like maybe 1GB or so [18:02] !clear | Daniel80 [18:02] !pt | Daniel80 [18:02] Daniel80: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português.

[18:03] !swap [18:03] Watch your mouth error404 [18:03] swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq for more info [18:03] error404_, you should probably switch to s more lightweight distro like crunchbang [18:04] ilhami..... they have a bot for that. shit your pie hole [18:04] error404_: how much RAM have you got? [18:04] what are the best programs for sending/receiving email on a ubuntu server, ? [18:04] half gig [18:04] gordonjcp, he said he has 512mb [18:04] oh that's plenty [18:04] oh well [18:04] yeah i guess. 3 years and me acer had seperate buttons and touchpad. and new system is killing me with me old habbits [18:04] get a new computer [18:04] gordonjcp, it's not really enough for ubuntu [18:04] He swore too much. [18:04] Ilhami, thats enough [18:04] 512 mb is really not much these days [18:04] Half a gig can run Lubuntu [18:04] !lubuntu [18:04] lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [18:05] I have 4 GB and my laptop is 2 years old [18:05] bin_bash: kboodu thanks! working now.

[18:31] tacomaster, maybe its because mp3 is a restricted format or such? [18:33] syntroPi: i just went to the website and viewed the html and css. Then added the radio station url rather than the main site url and it worked for me? [18:34] syntroPi: the url or the website for 56K is http://www.uzic.ch/tek24.m3u [18:34] correction, only happens with chrome [18:35] tacomaster, well the stream url "http://stream.uzic.ch:9010/" is from their website 128k mp3 http stream right from the m3u file and that url plays in other players without problems, jsut not rhythmbox...? btw all other mp3 streams wouldnt play either with rhythmbox... maybe it needs some black magic plugin for http and mp3?

It looks really ugly with that puppy [18:41] Ilhami: It depends on how big your "persistence" file is, but you don't have to use one. [18:41] syntroPi: ok i have figured out what is wrong. There is a bug filed on it already. So pretty much you can see if it has been fixed in a version past what ubuntu has in the repo's.

But system wont accept password (trying Kubuntu install too) [18:49] Sentro: Oh, are you encrypting your whole hard disk ? I don't have any experience with that. But if you have multiple layouts on your system, there should be an option at the top right hand corner of your screen. [18:49] saleem i never had it so never had to remove it [18:49] saleem what browser? [18:50] MonkeyDust, all browsers ,opera, firefox , chromium they all come by default with google cse [18:50] gabkdlly: hmm, there will be mistake for sure! :-) [18:50] gabkdlly: Yes, iam encrypting whole disk. [18:51] hiii [18:51] saleem, click the small icon in FF search and choose adiifferent search engine , duck duck-go is a goodone , you can find them in FF addons [18:52] Sentro: correction, the little keyboard icon should be up there, even if you are using only one layout on this system, I just checked that on my machine. [18:52] saleem odd, I never had it [18:53] MonkeyDust, i have always seen it on ubuntu and is kind of annoying [18:53] gabkdlly: yes, is there .... man with password: "tested" is normal function, so there will be mistake in layouts ...

[19:30] <[OS]Cazazo> what i did so far was removing kde... [19:31] <[OS]Cazazo> sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop [19:31] hi all, need a bit of advice. i've just installed 13.04, and i don't like the interface (unity). i'm a fan of the old gnome interface. however, a little googling has shown a few different things like gnome 3.8, classic gnome, gnome shell, and i can't find any article that explains what each one is. i like the one where i have the taskbar at the bottom, and the main menu on top (the one with menus for applications, system settings, etc [19:31] <[OS]Cazazo> and folowed this: [19:31] is that classic gnome? [19:31] <[OS]Cazazo> http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [19:31] <[OS]Cazazo> yes [19:31] <[OS]Cazazo> ubuntu 12.10 32bits [19:32] so in order to get that, i need to install gnome-session-fallback? [19:32] <[OS]Cazazo> yes... the fallback is the gnome classic [19:32] !notunity | noob_ [19:32] noob_: 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. [19:33] and gnome-shell is the new gnome 3.8? [19:34] <[OS]Cazazo> guys can any one help me to get my fonts and browsers to default configuration??? [19:34] <[OS]Cazazo> was before the terrible kde???? [19:35] noob_: Not in 13.04; try adding the GNOME 3 PPA: [ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:gnome3-team/gnome3 ] [19:35] !ppa [19:35] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [19:36] SonikkuAmerica: okay, thanks. and if i understand, gnome 3.8 also has a "classic mode", which is much like what gnome-session-fallback would look like? [19:37] if so, is gnome 3.8's classic mode recommended over gnome-session-fallback? [19:37] noob_: Yes; however, to use it, you need to install gnome-shell-extensions. Also, gnome-session-fallback doesn't exist in 3.8 === talas_ is now known as talas [19:38] [OS]Cazazo: Can you clarify? [19:38] does someone know which program can stream to an upnp sink in the network (smartphone on amp) so that i can feed it over wlan with my linux box? [19:38] SonikkuAmerica: so the best thing for me would be to add gnome 3's ppa, and install gnome-shell-extensions ? [19:38] noob_: And gnome-shell, of course [19:38] I installed "terminology" a terminal, but i changed a setting that makes it not work so I tried removing it (apt-get remove --purge terminology) and tried re-installing to get it to its default settings but it doesn't work, any suggestions? [19:38] SonikkuAmerica: wouldn't that automatically be installed due to dependencies? [19:39] Question : is it possible to change / toggle between languages for instance.. i use fluxbox and want to switch between english, korean, mandarian.. not even sure where to begin to search on this or what would switch it [19:39] !ibus | sere [19:39] sere: IBus is used to allow multilingual input such as Chinese, Japanese, Korean (CJK), Devanagari and Dravidian characters in !GUI applications - see also: !SCIM. For more info on Ibus see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ibus [19:39] noob_: It may or may not; I use Ubuntu GNOME (see http://ubuntugnome.org), which has gnome-shell by default. [19:39] <[OS]Cazazo> I have installed kubuntu-desktop on my ubuntu 12.10 32 bits with gnome classic. After unintall that thing... it did messed up with my fonts all over the system [19:39] bazhang: thanks :) [19:40] SonikkuAmerica: okay, thanks a lot for your tips!

[19:41] <[OS]Cazazo> I have followed a few instructions so far... sudo apt-get autoremove kubuntu-desktop [19:41] genii, how can I search to see if there is files still on my system for it? [19:41] SonikkuAmerica: one last question though - what is ubuntu-gnome-desktop, and do i need it as well? [19:41] <[OS]Cazazo> this was suggested here in the forums http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu [19:41] <[OS]Cazazo> and i did changed the ~/.fonts.config [19:41] <[OS]Cazazo> or something like it [19:42] citric: Well, I was going to suggest looking up the package on packages.ubuntu.com and then seeing the listing of files it installs. But it seems the package came from another place [19:42] noob_: If you want to switch to Ubuntu GNOME from Ubuntu (with Unity), you need to install that and the ubuntu-gnome-default-settings package, and remove ubuntu-desktop and ubuntu-settings, [19:42] *. === manu is now known as Guest70844 [19:42] SonikkuAmerica: agh. okay, thanks you once again [19:43] genii, any way I can find where it's installed?

I can't get this thing to work [19:43] <[OS]Cazazo> every one that ask me what happened disconnects lol [19:44] [OS]Cazazo try starting all over, from the beginning, instead of trying to repair [19:44] citric: What you can do, is make a directory like: terminology then cd there, and do: apt-get download terminology then do: ar -x then mkdir data then tar -xvzf -C data ... then look in that directory to see what it woulod put on your system [19:44] <[OS]Cazazo> MonkeyDust: nvm... [19:45] <[OS]Cazazo> thanks guys...

[20:11] michagogo: And? [20:11] Would that option actually work? Would it damage anything? And, if I were to use it, would I need to keep the external drive plugged in? [20:11] anyone an idea how to disable maximization when moving a window against the top panel? [20:11] s/?/ once Windows booted?/ [20:12] michagogo: You can give it a shot... and yes, you'd have to keep the thing plugged in... a safer thing to do would be to fix the Windows MBR and get EasyBCD and write in a separate Windows bootloader entry for Ubuntu. [20:13] so is this a good place to get help with getting drivers configured? I just built a new box, and I tried running Ubuntu. The driver support for the Nvidia GTX 660 Ti seemed kind of lacking. [20:13] SonikkuAmerica: Hmm? Why? [20:14] michagogo: Or maybe not... you can try unplugging and see if Windows boots up; it is an external HDD after all... [20:14] SonikkuAmerica: Yes, with the drive unplugged Windows boots without a problem [20:14] anominoususer: did you installed the driver.. nvidia-current ? [20:15] michagogo: I'd say you're fine then. [20:15] One sec... [20:15] I was just wondering what would happen if I chose Windows 7 in grub [20:15] Specifically, if it would make any changes that wouldn't be fixed by simply shutting down and unplugging, and therefore something to make sure never to do [20:15] armin: looking at ccsm, you could try: Grid/Edges/Top Edge and change from Maximize to None === dawid is now known as Guest17755 [20:16] michagogo: I would assume GRUB 2 would chainload Windows without a hitch.

[20:51] thank you [20:51] syntroPi: hmm, what happens if you just point it at the files rather than the symlinks? [20:52] ihelpsu, ugh dual booting sucks, just do yourself a favor and migrate ubuntu over to its own installation and boot grub first, i originally installed ubuntu through windows 8 and im still getting headaches bc of it i think [20:52] gordonjcp, its on external usb hdd (ntfs), may that cause any problems with inotify? === braiam is now known as Guest15423 [20:52] syntroPi: uhm, quite possibly [20:52] I'm trying to boot an external usb cdrom drive (connected through a PCI card expansion, not a port on the motherboard itself.) and I don't really see a boot menu appear to select a boot device. I have seen the menu appear on occasion when a boot error has occured [20:53] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStickQuick doesnt explain duel-botting though [20:53] dhci: there's probably a key you need to press at the bios screen [20:53] dhci: try F12 [20:53] syntroPi: I've not tried it with NTFS [20:54] gordonjcp, i will try to point to them directly and disable inotify [20:54] ihelpsu, no, no it doesn't, you're right about that [20:54] ihelpsu: all the install methods give you a GUI that will ask if you want to dual boot (yes/no) [20:54] can I add a boot option to grub or is there a command or two to type in manually, to select external usb drive as boot device? (root hd0,0) style [20:54] dhci: that would only work if you had grub on the boot sector of the boot drive already... [20:54] joeytwiddle_: so does it do everything by itself, like sectioning the harddrive, i heard you have to do that [20:54] ihelpsu: just don't delete your windows partition. the installer will detect the other OS and make a boot for it [20:55] ok sounds simple enough [20:55] ihelpsu: yeah it's 2013 now [20:55] gordonjcp, do you know if i can point to more than one audio directory with minidlna.conf? [20:56] gordonjcp: i do have a grub installed on first disk but i'm trying to get an iso image booted so I can install fresh onto a new drive (ssd) [20:56] whats the sysrsq key [20:56] hey guys: 2 questions, first off: does anyone know a "minimize-to-tray addon" that doesn't open thunderbird twice at start? second off: i need help with compiling because i still don't really know how that works. i want to compile a newer version of compiz because this version that i got is very buggy, i mean it. [20:57] syntroPi: I haven't tried it, don't see why not though [20:57] " ihelpsu, ugh dual booting sucks, just do yourself a favor and migrate ubuntu over to its own installation and boot grub first, i originally installed ubuntu through windows 8 and im still getting headaches bc of it i think" -- not sure what a grub is, but the duel booting sounds easier [20:57] and dont know what "its own installation" mean -- this usb way sounds better [20:58] ihelpsu, when you install ubuntu under windows, what windows will do is make a virtual drive that contains that installation. This gives you two problems right off the bat: no swap file (you cant hibernate) and you are stuck to that same harddrive, so if you ever want to say, for example, upgrade to an SSD, have fun [20:58] then there is debugging issues, you'll have to do most of your system recovery through windows [20:58] hi i tried setting a nonempty password for both my standard user accound and the root account on a 12.04 live cd doing this: sudo -s; passwd; exit; now when i try sudo -s again i i do get a password prompt BUT i can just press enter, it accepts the emtpy password still. i cant imagine what is causing this weird behavior, do you have a clue? i also looked into /etc/shadow and turns out the hash is [20:59] properly set for the new password which i verified using mkpasswd. interestingly enough in /etc/shadow for my non-root user i dont get a full hash though, just some tiny hash or something without a $n$ inidicator [21:00] veryhappy: how far did you get with the compiling? (Personally i found compiz 0.8 under Debian worked better than the new one in Unity :P ) [21:00] actually this is a hard questoin [21:01] last time i tried i didn't get further than looking through the directory and the strange script that i should execute before the compiling... [21:02] blockworks: trying to set you passwordon a LiveCD? O_o Are you using it regularly with persistence? [21:02] veryhappy: most C apps go: more ./README.txt ; ./configure && make && make install [21:02] I used "Gnome Classic" with 12.04 & 12.10, i loved the enviornment ... 13.04 no longer supports it so i'm using "gnome-fallback" now, it's working great for me with one exception ... occasionally when i maximize a window the title bar "close, minimize & maximize" buttons cease to function ... i have to right click on the application tab on the bottom panel and choose unmaximize ... any help there ? [21:02] i dont have a sysrq key on my keyboard [21:02] :x [21:02] 1) "you cant hibernat" -- is ok, my compu always on. 2) "upgrade to an SSD" -- i always you install a new OS, when you change drives, 3) "debugging issues, you'll have to do most of your system recovery through windows" -- well i hepe nothing goes wrong cos i know nothing about this..... [21:03] I am going to attempt to install Ubuntu from my harddrive. is http://www.instantfundas.com/2007/08/install-any-linux-distro-directly-from.html the easiest way? I am on the last step, which is installing GRUB, but I am reading the file and it is telling me that it is very dangerous to my MS OS :-) [21:03] gordonjcp, do you have any idea to which group i would add the user minidlna so it would have read access to external usb hdd ntfs drives which are automounted from nautilus? i tried adding it to my users group with no effect...?

[21:08] BitterGeek: visudo [21:08] I need help with the "dar command" I need to backup only a few directories that exist under my home directory (not all of them) in a single backup. I find the manuala bit hard to understand and is driving me nuts. Can someone please point me in the right direction? TIA! [21:08] I have some questions about the best way to go about installing ubuntu and windows 7 on a SSD (also have 1TB HDD) === newbie is now known as Guest89718 [21:09] Corey: BitterGeek what would be the advantage of that instead of editing the files right away? [21:09] pfhunk, just ask [21:10] blockworks: Syntax checking to make sure you don't leave yourself locked out of sudo. [21:10] ihelpsu, anominoususer|2, fwiw i downloaded an Ubuntu iso, and burned it to my USB stick with unetbootin (which is out of date itself) but that worked fine [21:10] nimbiotics: Do you mean tar? [21:10] i see [21:11] no "dar" http://dar.linux.free.fr/doc/index.html [21:11] gordonjcp, hmm well i cant change that since the drive is rather full of data... i think its because the _new_ default ubuntu mount is /media// to restrict that read options somehow grml [21:11] Right, just the best way to do the partitions, in regards to speed and keeping the longevity of the SSD.. The Ubuntu partitioner actually killed my SSD last week, I don't want that to happen again. [21:11] syntroPi: unmount it, and remount it wherever you like... [21:11] joeytwiddle_: why is treehau55 trying to scare us about everything!!................................. its ok [21:12] Corey: no, I meant "dar" http://dar.linux.free.fr/ [21:12] pfhunk, if you have doubts using your ssd use the hdd, [21:12] he' just warning against what he did, installing on a virtual partition inside windows. which does suck. unless you end up deleting ubuntu, in which case it's ideal [21:13] pfhunk, use gparted for the partitioner [21:13] well I have a new SSD now, and I want both ubuntu and windows partitions on it. I enjoy the speediness. Does it matter which I install first? Which would be easier? [21:14] hi all. Anyone know of a small utility that can be installed on a Ubuntu server to monitor HD space and send out an e-mail if free space = 10GB or if consumption is at 80%, etc? [21:14] pfhunk, doesnt matter wich is installed first [21:15] TKing: hi [21:15] idk how win 7 works but you might need boot repair [21:15] pfhunk^^ [21:15] So on a scale of harmless to potential issue is it bad to set the root home directory to /var/www ? [21:16] yeah i'd install windows first, let ubuntu build the bootloader. pfhunk [21:16] joeytwiddle_: that sounds like virtualbox, the unbuntu guide should mention these things said on here so it's not lost but last edited "2012-12-10" [21:16] pfhunk, thats how i installed ubuntu with a win8 part. [21:17] gordonjcp, it should be configurable in the properties dialogue of that media from nautilus. though when i change it it immediately returns to previous settings waaa [21:17] and http://sourceforge.net/projects/unetbootin/ is not outdated, last updated 6/13 [21:17] 2013-06-06 [21:17] Okay, I can try that, as far as partition sizes and things go, what should I be paying attention to? [21:17] Sirisian|Work: why would you do that? [21:18] pfhunk, look up on how to --bind sys, dev, proc, then chroot to reinstall, update grub [21:18] I have a existing sudoers file in svn, I want to svn export it and overwrite the exiting sudoers. However my recipe script does something to sudoers that sudo doesn't like (syntax errors). What exactly does sudoers -f do? Can I use that to specify a sudoers file in /tmp and have it be saved in /etc/sudoers? [21:18] chroot into ubuntu if you install windows 2nd [21:19] syntroPi: I have all my music and video on a SAN, and iSCSI across to another machine with the media server running in a VM [21:19] syntroPi: this is clearly overkill [21:19] gordonjcp, oh wait nvm. I don't need to. I didn't notice this software let you supply a directory. [21:19] Sirisian|Work: what are you doing? [21:20] gordonjcp, sure that would be overkill i just want to prepare my external usb hdd for party tomorrow :) [21:20] WeThePeople I'm pretty new to linux, I'm trying to ease into it and go the simple route [21:20] syntroPi: play.spotify.com ;-) [21:20] Hello all, does anyone have experience of running mdadm (RAID) on top of lvm? [21:21] Was messing around with dreamweaver. Didn't notice the directory option started from root. I thought it was asking for something else. [21:21] (in their sftp connection stuff) [21:21] Sirisian|Work: ugh, dreamweaver [21:21] I know right. [21:21] gordonjcp, well yeah but my linux box is in another room and i want to play music over my smartphone on amp in party room [21:22] syntroPi: Spotify for Android... ;-) [21:22] pfhunk: on new linux system builds ... you might also want to create a separate partition for home [21:22] pfhunk, install ubuntu 2nd then, you are still going to have to update grub [21:22] iirc [21:22] gordonjcp, nooo i invested a lot of time in my collection [21:22] syntroPi: oooh [21:23] syntroPi: look into using kernel NTFS support (read-only) instead of FUSE [21:23] I thought I read that the ubuntu installer does that WeThePeople [21:24] yeah it does [21:24] syntroPi, get a raspberrypi for the party room [21:24] yeah its tomorrow [21:24] syntroPi: I like minidlna for streaming.. its lightweight and works will on all platforms [21:25] sere: yeah, but it's crashing loading "many thousands" of files off an NTFS external drive [21:25] Tex_Nick, what would a separate partition for home do? bear with me I'm pretty fresh to partitioning and linux in general [21:26] syntroPi: aha, what happens if you add several audio source directories in the config, and split up the collection into groups? [21:26] Does anyone know anything about vinagre? I can't get it to accept my password to my server [21:26] Anyone have experience of running mdadm (RAID) on top of lvm? It's not the usual way of doing things, but is there any reason to especially avoid it? [21:26] bertieb: that seems an odd way round to do it [21:26] gordonjcp: oh i see.. thats no good.. i have never tried streaming large amounts with it [21:27] Sooo what kind of people are here, what do you guys ‪ to do ? [21:27] bertieb: it is backwards.... [21:27] sere: I have, but only with ext4 partitions [21:27] gordonjcp, you mean like media_dir=A,/dir1 and new line media_dir=A,dir2 and so on? [21:27] syntroPi: yeah [21:27] lvm on top of RAID === braiam__ is now known as braiam [21:28] pfhunk: it keeps your application data separate from the system files ... if you decide to upgrade to a new distro in the future, your user files don't have to be reinstalled [21:28] soy_el_pulpo / gordonjcp: I do have LVM on top of RAID as well, but I would like to join 2TB+1TB into a pv that can be added to the 4x3TB drives already in the md array [21:29] like I say, not entirely standard use-case :) [21:30] Tex_Nick : alright, and as I recall, you can designate differently-purposed partitions in the ubuntu installer. So it'll know where to put stuff [21:30] pfhunk: see the following post ... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving [21:31] bertieb: sure you can! but I will not recommend it... the last part of you lvm, formed by the 2+1 tb disks will have no redundancy... [21:31] what is strange is that the linuxmint chan has less ppl when its top -- http://distrowatch.com/ [21:31] z/j #ubuntu [21:32] bertieb: It will be easier to buy one 3tb drive more and extend your raid [21:32] or buy 4 4tb drives and grow it [21:32] soy_el_pulpo: there is that, but if I do (2+1)pv -> mdadm (raid6) -> LVM it should have all the benefits of being in a RIAD array (albeit with double the probability of a single drive failure) [21:33] soy_el_pulpo: alas, if money were no issue :P (I already have the dives and it seems a shame to 'waste' them) [21:37] bertieb: raid 6 uses more space for protection. Use them for offline backups or other things rather thatn making the system more complex [21:37] the issue with raid and dispair devices is that rotational speed, seek ms, etc makes a huge diference. [21:38] bertieb: that explains the recommendation of having IDENTICAL disks [21:38] ihelpsu: Just because it gets more hits does not really mean it is really more popular, or used by more pople. [21:38] *people* [21:39] usr13: yea its just hits, need better ranking system [21:39] everyone add good solutions to https://wiki.ubuntu.com so nothing gets lost [21:39] i dont like lost things [21:39] ihelpsu: And distor whatch obviously doesn't rank IRC channels. [21:39] esp if they helpful [21:39] and i don like redunancy [21:39] ihelpsu: It would be nice if everyone would use the linux counter. [21:40] pfhunk: the link i provided above looks like it's more for moving home to a separate partion after linux has been installed ... the following link might be more helpful ... http://www.howtogeek.com/116742/how-to-create-a-separate-home-partition-after-installing-ubuntu/ [21:40] gordonjcp, well adding several dirs does work but only if those are owned by minidlna user /stupid/ [21:40] soy_el_pulpo: the array is already built, and I wanted something I could not touch for years, so I went for RAID6 over (say) 5 or 10 - particularly if one of the drives does fail, given the size the long rebuild time and potential for UREs I was a bit hesitant to go for RAID5 [21:42] pfhunk: might also google for "ubuntu separate home partition" ... sorry, hope i'm not confusing you ;-) [21:42] soy_el_pulpo: the 4 new drives in there are identical (same model, which is possibly a risk in and of itself), I'd just like to reuse drives I already have :) [21:43] Tex_Nick no worries I still need to find a blank DVD before I can get fully started so I'll be able to read up on a lot [21:43] pfhunk: cool ... hey good luck man ;-) [21:45] pfhunk: are you aware of "live usb" installs ? ... if you have a usb stick, that's the way to go [21:46] Tex_Nick I have ubuntu on a CD already, I need to burn my windows 7 [21:47] hi, sometimes updating firefox i lose the adobe flash player and (i presume) the flash-plugin-installer's "Firefox is now checking for available plugins ..." seems going forever. How can I fix this? [21:48] ahhh ok ... i nolonger use windows ... however i think you can also use a usbstick to install win 7 [21:48] volty: Re-install flashplayer. [21:48] volty: I just do it manually [21:48] syntroPi: owned by or readable by? [21:48] i've gone that route with winXP [21:48] usr13: ok, thx, i'll try with rpm one [21:49] volty: tgz one [21:49] I'll have to check it out [21:49] usr13: ok :) [21:50] 11.2 is latest version [21:50] volty: Actually, you may already have it. [21:51] usr13: so I have just to (re)copy it? from where to where? [21:51] tar xvf flash-player-plugin.tar.gz ; [21:52] yeah, i know what you mean: probably i have got it in the past // going to check, thanks a lot [21:52] gs123 [21:52] gordonjcp, owned works ofc but also i added the user minidlna to my users group so when i give it g+rx it can read it even if my user owns it (insterad of minidlna) [21:52] this nice -- > http://www.tutonics.com/p/ubuntu.html [21:54] is there a way to make a usb flash drive bootable with a ubuntu iso image on it ? [21:54] gordonjcp, seems i just need to get nautllus to fuse mount it with g+rx and it should work. i know i can do mounts manually but i want to have it with nautilus gui for quick access with other drives [21:54] volty: Actually, it's tar xvf install_flash_player_11_linux.i386.tar.gz #And then just move libflashplayer.so to the plugins directory [21:55] If I have a directory /a/b/c, is there a way to change the permission of c with chmod, and at the same time recursively apply the same operation on a and b? Something like a recursive operation but working from inside to outside === xbian is now known as redliondj [21:56] volty: which sould be /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins [21:58] Does anybody know where i would set the default mount options for gnome automount (usb -> fuse -> ntfs)?

[22:13] lsi32, use gparted and repartionit to be a vfat partion, instead of ext2/3/4 then reformat it. [22:13] us what i would do. [22:13] MonkeyDust, i used to like its configurability on version 2 but now it always feels like a fight to the restrictions the devs think are so nice to force on their users. dconf and such may not even help on some issues [22:14] if its a 'ext3' partition you need to change its partition type i belive first. or things may get confused [22:15] Could you please tell me how to do it....I am totally new to this. [22:15] lsi32, use the tool 'gparted' it has a nice gui. delete the partion on the usb. and remake it tobe the FS you want to use [22:16] Ok thank you [22:18] tonyt: yea i just did that, that's why you put it on teh web instead of this freenode thing [22:19] are there any settings perhaps with xset so that when I'm typing (usb keyboard, xwindows) the commands always go to where the cursor is hovering over === Anti-Sleep is now known as Rand0m__Name === MistaMike|away is now known as MistaMike === MistaMike is now known as MistaMike|away [22:26] I was trying to install sudo apt-get install linux-libc-dev but I received this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5762976/ [22:27] looks like a problem [22:29] Anyone know of any Polycom and Ubuntu support channels?
