Thete | Does anyone know by chance how I would go about compiling an ethernet driver from source and getting ubuntu to use it? | 00:03 |
b14d3 | Hi all. Having an issue where I can't boot into the GUI on my Ubuntu machine. LiveUSB I can boot just fine and works as normal. I've just installed the ATI drivers, but it does not appear to be working anymore. I know those are generally recommended against, and if so could someone direct me to a set up guide to an open source one? | 00:03 |
Thete | nevermind, got it I think | 00:03 |
Tex_Nick | !nomodeset | b14d3 | 00:07 |
ubottu | b14d3: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 00:07 |
b14d3 | Thanks Tex_Nick, but I actually have GRUB set up to boot nomodeset already | 00:08 |
Tex_Nick | b14d3: ahh ok ... i probably can't help you then, however you need to provide more specifics ... graphics adapter, driver etc ... in order for the channel gru's to be able to hyelp you :-) | 00:10 |
Shariff | Hi there | 00:11 |
=== root____1 is now known as tyd | ||
Tex_Nick | channel guru's ^ | 00:11 |
b14d3 | Fair enough. The graphics card is an ATI, I honestly don't remember the specifics about it. The driver was run by just installing fglrx, I haven't really done anything else. Although interesting enough, the problem manifests the same way as what the nomodeset fixes. | 00:12 |
Thete | hmm | 00:12 |
Shariff | I've set up a dnsmasq server, but for some reason the hosts from /etc/hosts are not resolved on other systems on the network. Am I misunderstanding the use of dnsmasq or is there something I might be doing wrongly? | 00:12 |

tgm4883 | Running into a weird issue here, my wireless disconnects until I turn it off and on again (via keyboard keys). The last message in syslog when this happens is " wpa_supplicant[1383]: wlan0: WPA: Group rekeying completed with xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx [GTK=CCMP]" | 01:23 |
tgm4883 | This is on 13.04 | 01:23 |
tgm4883 | Are there any other logs I should be looking at? | 01:24 |
asharas | deww: can't access the passwd file, maybe because my home is encryptfs? | 01:24 |
deww | asharas: well what are t he file permissions of your directory and that file? | 01:25 |
sethj | tgm4883 : Does /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log exist? | 01:25 |
genii | elisa87: I would suggest, to make sure all the proper stuff is installed: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install dkms linux-headers-generic build-essential linux-source ...then to try again with: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current | 01:26 |
tgm4883 | sethj, nope | 01:26 |
genii | elisa87: Actually, the last command would be: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current ...since it's installed, just not correctly | 01:27 |
asharas | deww: where can I put the htpasswd file? my home is encrypted and /root is unreachable to the apache user | 01:27 |
tgm4883 | sethj, I seem to have wlan0 entries in kern.log, I'll check that log again the next time the wireless dies (give it about 5 minutes) | 01:28 |
craigbass1976 | Anyone know why an ssh session to GoDaddy stays open fine, but an sshfs mount dies after a couple of minutes? | 01:28 |
deww | asharas: /var/www would be ok | 01:29 |
sethj | tgm4883: Humm. OK. I suppose you're configuring your wireless through the network connections manager? (GUI method) | 01:29 |
tgm4883 | sethj, yes | 01:29 |
tgm4883 | sethj, it's WPA2 Enterprise | 01:29 |

Epoxx | give me a second (this is my laptop :) ) | 01:34 |

deww | asharas: also look here http://www.askapache.com/htaccess/security-with-htaccess.html#Prevent_access_htaccess_htpasswd_files, i'm pretty sure your config as is, allows people read your password file if they figure out the name. | 01:34 |
sethj | tgm4883: Interesting. We're both using similar network cards and the same driver.. | 01:34 |
Epoxx | I don'T even have wlan0 , I only have eth0, so I'm assuming I don't have the proper drivers for my wifi card. Still can't connect using ethernet though :( | 01:35 |
asharas | deww: should I chown my .htpasswd file? and then chmod it? | 01:36 |
craigbass1976 | Epoxx, kind of stupid, but have you disabled wifi with the Fn +whatever key combination? | 01:37 |
Epoxx | its a desktop, so no | 01:37 |
genii | Epoxx: If it's connected to some dhcp server like on a router, maybe try: sudo dhclient -r eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0 ... then see if it got a number with: ifconfig | 01:37 |
craigbass1976 | Epoxx, ah. Wow, that's really weird then | 01:38 |
Epoxx | its connected to my laptop using a network bridge (might be the culprit, although I used this often with windows) | 01:38 |
deww | asharas: most apache default setups restricts people from actually being able to read files start with .ht, so you should probably just rename it from .rutorrent-htpasswd to .ht-whatever-you-want. just make sure to change it in your config and restart apache | 01:39 |

akurilin | Quick question: is there an up-to-date list of Ubuntu friendly hardware components out there? I've seen the list of pre-made machines on the official Ubuntu side, but that doesn't help me too much if I'm building my own. | 02:19 |

boink__ | hi everyone. I have a clean install of 12.04 that doesn't recognize my network cable as plugged | 02:20 |
genii | ( I want to go watch last half of the third period of Chicago-Boston hockey soon) | 02:20 |
boink__ | ifconfig only shows lo, no eth0. any ideas? | 02:20 |
IsaacLewis | I use amd and my computer is pretty slow, I think you should use intel | 02:20 |
max1 | i5? | 02:21 |
elisa87 | isn't debootstrap related to Ubuntu? I have created a disk image and mounted on /mnt/mount_x86 by using sudo mount /dev/loop0 /mnt/mount_x86 but it just created the lost&found folder and not the rest of the folders...somebody told me that I shoudl use debootstrap for creating those normal folders like bin , lib, lib64 ,opt, etc...anyway what's your idea genii? | 02:21 |
max1 | IsaacLewis: okay thanks | 02:21 |
elisa87 | genii: no unfortunately not http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763389/ | 02:22 |
genii | elisa87: I'm not going to get sidetracked into discussing debootstrap with you, because I intend to leave soon, assuming your nvidia situation becomes resolved. I'm missing watching a hockey game which is not on for much longer. | 02:22 |
elisa87 | ah ok that's alright | 02:22 |
max1 | I wish Ubuntu had more users than Mac OSx | 02:23 |
IsaacLewis | Ari-Yang: it says E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) | 02:23 |
genii | elisa87: Before you ran the sudo apt-get install nvidia-current... did you run the other command I gave? eg: sudo apt-get install dkms linux-headers-generic build-essential linux-source | 02:23 |
elisa87 | yes genii and it was successfull without any error | 02:24 |

felixonmars | winegoddess: all domains owned by you? | 02:42 |
Sinful_Pancakes | How would I go about installing Ubuntu from my hard drive? | 02:44 |
winegoddess | hi felixonmars - yes. it is on a backspace server that i have | 02:44 |
winegoddess | so, my question is really set up of server, as well as setup of domains. ny tolls to help make this easy if i have 20+ domains i wish to setup which are all similar setups (wordpress, php database) | 02:45 |
felixonmars | use something like cpanel? | 02:45 |
Sinful_Pancakes | Hello | 02:46 |
Sinful_Pancakes | ? | 02:46 |
winegoddess | hi felixonmars - i didn't setup cpanel. but something script wise, that lets me set up domains quicker/easier. and then 2nd question, general setup concerns for security... | 02:46 |

alexandros_c | good night, I am using ubuntu 13.04 amd64 and I have installed Java EE 7. I am having a problem getting glassfish updatetool to work. Everytime I run updatetool, it tells me that my os is 64 and not configured for 32. However, the multiarch packages are installed. Can anyone help me resolve this problem? | 02:50 |
somsip | DarkAceLaptop: doesn't sound good. I'd suggest downloading again | 02:50 |
felixonmars | DarkAceLaptop: i'll recommend a redownload | 02:50 |
winegoddess | felixonmars: of those do you have a preference? also any good sites for resources such as this? | 02:51 |
winegoddess | other than wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_hosting_control_panels | 02:51 |
felixonmars | winegoddess: not really, as im not running php sites :p they all have homepages and demos, if you gonna try | 02:51 |
winegoddess | trying to understand would this be one per domain? or can i set it up somehow (using some tools) so that i can create a new domain in the server and have it automatically install a cpanel with it? | 02:52 |
winegoddess | I'm interested in both sides, the server setup in general (security as well) and then making it easier to setup new domains with a standard setup | 02:53 |
winegoddess | rather than individually | 02:53 |

fowl_ | hi i cant find out how to setup the keyboard hotkeys for a Gateway LT4009u | 02:55 |
fowl_ | anybody know | 02:55 |
felixonmars | winegoddess: no, you will just create & manage websites (incl. domains) on cpanel itself, if your server have cpanel installed | 02:55 |
winegoddess | so it is more like a Web Host Manager (WHM) than a cpanel used for individual domains? | 02:56 |
felixonmars | marcelomauro: you need your windows recovery disc to fix the boot record | 02:56 |
winegoddess | sorry i only have used cpanel for one domain, not a server | 02:56 |
felixonmars | winegoddess: cpanel is multi-user program | 02:56 |
felixonmars | winegoddess: and it's fine if you want all your domains in one user | 02:57 |
somsip | mop: I missed the obvious. For a local search or internet search? | 02:57 |
mop | you know like image files on my hard drive | 02:58 |
felixonmars | winegoddess: https://blog.cpanel.net/managing-multiple-domains-from-a-single-cpanel-account/ \official blog | 02:58 |

marcelomauro | felixonmars, I have no disk because I upgrade my windows from win7 to win 8 | 02:58 |
winegoddess | so sorry felixonmars - for my misunderstanding. i have a server, and i wish to have ~20 domains setup. i was just going to have ssh and ftp, but perhaps a cpanel will be good to allow others a UI for access. are you saying i setup 1 cpanel for the server and everyone access it (not what i want) or that setup 1 cpanel, and someone then further configure to setup the domains? (i justhavent seen a cpanel like that if i a | 02:59 |

winegoddess | felixonmars: thanks for that link - i did not know about this approach | 03:01 |
felixonmars | winegoddess: you setup a cpanel, then everything's up to you. if you want different guys to control different sites and domains, just register them individual accounts on your installed cpanel | 03:01 |
felixonmars | DarkAceLaptop: just redownload the deb file and install the not corrupted one | 03:02 |
DarkAceLaptop | yeah | 03:02 |
DarkAceLaptop | done | 03:02 |
DarkAceLaptop | are tar.gz files packages, or just compressed files that you don't install? | 03:02 |
DarkAceLaptop | install like .deb files, that is | 03:03 |
somsip | mop: find will do that. eg: find . -type f -size +1G | 03:03 |
somsip | mop: you just need to adapt to only find files ending in jpg|png|gif etc | 03:03 |

Katronix | Hi all, I have a laptop that I installed Ubuntu on, during the install phase it detected my wireless nic fine, however now it keeps asking me for the wifi pw even though its been put in correctly. Any suggestions? | 03:13 |
boink__ | Katronix, is it the right kind of password set (WEP vs WAP, etc) ? | 03:15 |
Katronix | boink__ I'm assuming so it never asked | 03:16 |
boink__ | no idea then :) | 03:16 |
boink__ | i am noob :P | 03:16 |
boink__ | why is my ifconfig only showing lo and no eth0 ? clean install of 12.04 | 03:17 |
boink__ | i am lost | 03:17 |
Katronix | boink__ would assume it doesn't see your nic | 03:17 |
boink__ | nic as in network information center? | 03:18 |
boink__ | a dns problem you mean? | 03:18 |
Katronix | nic = network interface card | 03:18 |
boink__ | so updating the drivers of my NIC should do the trick? | 03:19 |
Katronix | yep | 03:19 |
nevyn | boink__: ifconfig only shows up interfaces | 03:19 |

itsnotlupus | Ok, my /sys/class/power_supply/BAT1/power_now contains a stupid high value when my laptop is charging. Is there a known way to change that? It's causing ubuntu to think I'll have a full charge in 3 minutes rather than the two hours it actually takes. | 03:40 |

|kira | xangua: tris is a nice distro, but i need a bs-free ubuntu iso... hmmm.... | 04:06 |
histo | elisa87: what are you trying to do? | 04:07 |
histo | elisa87: mtab is just a status file btw. | 04:08 |
histo | |kira: The main iso contains only free software. You could not enable the other repos if you want. | 04:08 |
histo | |kira: http://www.ubuntu.com/about/about-ubuntu/licensing | 04:09 |

elisa87 | I have created that bootable linux disk and I am trying to run the binaries inside it using the simulator but the binaries are not found from within the simulator inside the disk! histo | 04:10 |
histo | !free > |kira | 04:11 |
ubottu | |kira, please see my private message | 04:11 |
histo | servvs: I got nothing I would search askubuntu or in the forums. | 04:12 |
histo | elisa87: why are you creating /dev/loop1? | 04:12 |
histo | elisa87: and what simulator? | 04:12 |
elisa87 | histo gem5 I will show you the log now soon | 04:13 |
elisa87 | I created a disk image formated with fs ext2 and put it in /dev/loop1 | 04:13 |
histo | elisa87: I would ask here http://gem5.org/Mailing_Lists | 04:15 |
elisa87 | they answer so late,..sometimes they don't answer at all! | 04:15 |
histo | elisa87: when you say you "put it in /dev/loop1" with what procedure? | 04:16 |
elisa87 | histo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763563/ everything regarding boot of linux works fine except that it doesn't find the binaries ...my mount point is /mnt/mount_x86 and binaries are in /rodinia/openmp/backprop folder ...please let me know how is your idea | 04:17 |
servvs | thanks for the help histo, will search around some more | 04:17 |
histo | elisa87: are the binaries in /mnt/mount_x86 ?? I'm confused I know nothing of gem5 | 04:18 |
elisa87 | histo the binaries are in /mnt/mount_x86/rodinia/openmp/backprop folder but my mount point is /mnt/mount_x86 | 04:18 |
histo | elisa87: This is an issue with whatever software you are using. | 04:19 |
histo | elisa87: what does any of this have to do with ubuntu? | 04:19 |
elisa87 | because it's about mounting ... I have created the disk image using ubuntu | 04:19 |
BabyCat | hey guys, I'm on ubuntu 12.04.. I go to a specific site, called Eli the Computer guy.. and for whatever reason, the site damages my web browser from using the internet.. this happens only with that site.. then I have to restart ubuntu to get back my internet connection.. this happens with no other site.. anyone have any ideas what this might be? I have my DOM storage on the browser turned to false and I use privoxy as a system wide proxy and that seems to | 04:19 |
BabyCat | have something to do with it.. all my other network connections like the software center seem to work but firefox seems to clunk out before needing to reboot the entire system. This look familiar to anyone??? | 04:19 |

Sir-Litepool | the thing is, i did sudo apt-add-repository ppa:purplekarrot/ppa | 04:31 |
Katronix | anyone? | 04:31 |
Sir-Litepool | sudo apt-get update then sudo apt-get upgrade | 04:31 |
theadmin | histo: Eh, easier to ask :D /version can sometimes fail | 04:31 |
KrisHansen | theadmin: it might have something to do with that i ran the sudo apt-get lubuntu-desktop, once that it changed | 04:31 |
Sir-Litepool | and recently it was stalling so i rebooted it | 04:31 |
somsip | Sir-Litepool: and what that that install? /var/log/apt/history will tell you | 04:31 |

Sir-Litepool | somsip, http://paste2.org/ZPn4yOZ9 | 04:34 |
Katronix | histo its not installed :( I don't have a way of giving it a wired connection :( | 04:34 |
histo | Katronix: what version are you running? | 04:35 |
KrisHansen | theadmin: it was a Konversation settings issue , damn i almost checked that last night when i was stoned, but then i woke up today and havent fired up yet so my brain is still in the bad dreams mode. need my spliff for this morning and thank you i got it . | 04:35 |
somsip | Sir-Litepool: is there a file at /var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock? who is it owned by? | 04:35 |
Katronix | histo 13.04 | 04:35 |
histo | Katronix: your card should work in any 3.8+ linux kernel | 04:35 |
Katronix | histo it sees the card, but I get caught in an endless loop of "what's the pw" | 04:35 |
Sir-Litepool | somsip, no such file and the directory is symlinked to /run/mysqld | 04:36 |
histo | Katronix: so the issue isn't with your card. | 04:36 |
histo | Katronix: make sure you are typing the password correctly | 04:36 |
Katronix | histo possibly not, I just know it worked fine during the installation, checked the pw several times | 04:36 |
histo | Katronix: http://askubuntu.com/questions/131919/wireless-keeps-asking-for-password | 04:37 |
somsip | Sir-Litepool: you have something to work with now. I'm getting lots of google results with that error. I can sit here and say 'try this, try this' but it might be easier if you see if anything fits | 04:37 |
histo | somsip: Sir-Litepool sounds like he has ppa hell | 04:37 |
KrisHansen | So here is what happens, you install Ubuntu 13.04 and then you install Konversation irc. then you apt-get install lubuntu-desktop, something in that install will change your settings in Konversation to default web browser "not clicked"=nothing, and it will open an abiword doc. | 04:38 |
somsip | histo: indeed. I think it's time for him to research more, and if it all goes pear shaped because of the PPA...well !ppa and all that | 04:38 |
histo | elisa87: may I ask what you are trying to use gem5 for? Perhaps there is a better tool out there. | 04:38 |
Sir-Litepool | somsip, any way i could backup the database and reinstall mysql | 04:38 |
histo | KrisHansen: so change you default browser | 04:39 |
BabyCat | is anyone here | 04:39 |
BabyCat | asdfas | 04:39 |
KrisHansen | histo: i did and theadminalready helped me and it solved the issue | 04:39 |
somsip | Sir-Litepool: you could try reinstalling mysql-server. If you backup /var/lib/mysql you will have all of the data files in there. But YMMV and all that | 04:39 |
BabyCat | is this working | 04:39 |
somsip | !test | BabyCat | 04:39 |
ubottu | BabyCat: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) | 04:40 |
Sir-Litepool | somsip, i will do that then, what do you mean by YMMV? | 04:40 |
somsip | Sir-Litepool: Your Mileage May Vary, eg: don't expect a successful result | 04:40 |

Katronix | histo from the install dvd can I install that tool you recommended since I can see the net from it? | 04:44 |
histo | Katronix: or the nm-cli command | 04:44 |
histo | Katronix: sorry nmcli | 04:45 |
Sir-Litepool | histo any idea what i should do | 04:45 |

Jesse_V | I have a question about package naming conventions, which I found confusing. If (theoretically) I coded up a project, which I call "derp", and it's version 0.05, and the package doesn't exist in either Debian or Ubuntu, how do I name it? "derp-0.05-0ubuntu1" is my current guess | 04:46 |
meatmanek | Jesse_V you're building your own .deb for it? | 04:47 |
Jesse_V | yeah meatmanek, I will but I need to get the naming right | 04:47 |
meatmanek | so everything after the - is pretty much up to the distro maintainer | 04:47 |
Jesse_V | dh_make generates a changelog file, which has a version number in it | 04:48 |
meatmanek | so the ubuntu project might have -0ubuntu1 | 04:48 |
Jesse_V | and I want to get that right, along with the correct name of the package folder | 04:48 |
Sir-Litepool | thanks histo giving it a shot | 04:48 |
meatmanek | whereas debian may have -0debian1 | 04:48 |
Sir-Litepool | Warning: Could not find package list for PPA: purplekarrot ppa | 04:48 |
Sir-Litepool | histo | 04:48 |
Jesse_V | right. I'm running Mint 14 at the moment, and if I build for that, I'm building for quantal. Do I need to say that? | 04:48 |
histo | Sir-Litepool: what were you trying to use a ppa for btw? | 04:48 |
histo | Sir-Litepool: also what are you doing when the mysql error happens? | 04:49 |
Sir-Litepool | to install libbost1.47 and over histo | 04:49 |
Jesse_V | I just created my own PPA yesterday, and I'm in the process of working on correctly building things and uploading them to Launchpad :) | 04:49 |
Sir-Litepool | well i did update after ppa | 04:49 |
Sir-Litepool | well it worked fine, and someone ddosed me | 04:49 |
Sir-Litepool | then i rebooted and it messed up | 04:50 |
histo | Sir-Litepool: Ahh well you failed to mention that. | 04:50 |
histo | Sir-Litepool: what do you use mysql for? | 04:50 |
Sir-Litepool | queries | 04:50 |
Jesse_V | duh | 04:50 |
histo | Sir-Litepool: sudo service mysql status | 04:50 |
hejki | ohai guys, i'm trying to compile stuff with -m32 on 13.04 (amd64), i seem to be missing all .so's from /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu, e.g. my libSM http://dpaste.com/1237581/ | 04:50 |
meatmanek | Jesse_V: no, you don't need to specify. It's generally a convention that indicates who made the package. I'd maybe use "jessev" instead of ubuntu | 04:50 |
Sir-Litepool | histo sudo service mysql status | 04:50 |
kalakj | hi | 04:50 |
Jesse_V | meatmanek: why's that? | 04:50 |
kalakj | all | 04:50 |
Sir-Litepool | sorry histo mysql respawn/post-start, (post-start) process 10048 | 04:50 |
histo | Sir-Litepool: yes I told you mysqld before. | 04:51 |
hejki | if i manually symlink the .so.x as .so, the linker works | 04:51 |
meatmanek | Jesse_V: because you aren't an official package maintainer for the ubuntu project | 04:51 |
Jesse_V | meatmanek: oh right, I see | 04:51 |
histo | Sir-Litepool: sudo service mysql restart then what were you doing when you get the sock error? | 04:51 |
Jesse_V | meatmanek: so then "derp-0.05-0jvictors1" would be correct then? | 04:51 |
meatmanek | should be fine, yeah | 04:51 |
Aegon | join archlinux | 04:52 |
Jesse_V | which would turn into "derp-0.05-0jessev1_amd64.deb" | 04:52 |
Jesse_V | right? | 04:52 |
Jesse_V | I just don't want to look like a newb, that's all :) | 04:52 |
Jesse_V | even though I am at building packages like this | 04:53 |
Sir-Litepool | histo restarting does not respond just says stop/waiting, i tried connecting through python didn't help, through php didn't help, through command line and it still gave ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) after entering password | 04:53 |
Jesse_V | half the battle is making it look like you know what you're doing | 04:53 |
histo | !dev | Jesse_V | 04:53 |
ubottu | Jesse_V: Interested in becoming an Ubuntu Developer? Get started here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment | 04:53 |
Jesse_V | thanks | 04:53 |
Jesse_V | not at the moment, I'd like to start with just my Launchpad PPA and work up from there | 04:53 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: Launchpad takes care of building the packages itself | 04:54 |
Jesse_V | but I need to upload .changes, so don't I have to build stuff to generate that? | 04:55 |
Jesse_V | maybe I don't understand the procedures | 04:55 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: ...Oh. Well... I thought... Uh. I'm not into Ubuntu development myself and Debian packaging is confusing | 04:55 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: But I think Launchpad does building anyways | 04:55 |
Jesse_V | it does | 04:55 |
Jesse_V | with 40,000 packages you'd think there'd be clear instructions instead of a steep learning curve | 04:56 |
Jesse_V | but anyway, is "derp-0.05-0jessev1" -> "derp-0.05-0jessev1_amd64.deb" good for a package named "derp", of version "0.05", built for Quantal? | 04:57 |
Jesse_V | maintained only by me, and which does not exist in Debian or Ubuntu? | 04:57 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: Normally, ppa packages have stuff like 0ppa1 in the name, not 0jessev1 | 04:58 |
Jesse_V | ok, so if my ppa was named "testing", then I'd replace "jessev" with "testing"? | 04:58 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: No, no, literally the string "ppa" | 04:59 |
Jesse_V | what? | 04:59 |
Jesse_V | "derp-0.05-ppa"? | 04:59 |
Jesse_V | even with "ppa:jvictors/testing" as my PPA path? | 05:00 |
theadmin | Well... All ppa packages I've seen have something are named like derp-version-0ppa1 or such, yes, literally "ppa", not "testing" or "ppaname" | 05:00 |
Jesse_V | ah ok | 05:00 |
drhester7 | quick question | 05:00 |
theadmin | But I may be wrong. Jesse_V, you may have more luck asking this in #ubuntu-packaging | 05:00 |
Jesse_V | didn't know that channel existed... | 05:01 |
drhester7 | how difficult is it to customize ubuntu? | 05:01 |
theadmin | drhester7: ...Depends on what you mean | 05:01 |
Jesse_V | drhester7: easy, it's Linux :) | 05:01 |
seronis | i have chrome-beta installed and the google entry added to sources.list so that it will auto update. yesterdays update mentions it cant install because of 'unauthenticated dependancies'. how do i see what those are? | 05:01 |
histo | drhester7: what's your experience level? | 05:01 |
histo | drhester7: and what customization do you want to do? | 05:01 |
Jesse_V | drhester7: you can do everything from changing your background to recompiling your kernel. It's Linux after all | 05:01 |
theadmin | seronis: Try updating from a terminal: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 05:01 |
theadmin | seronis: It'll tell you where it has authentication issues | 05:02 |

drhester7 | my experience level is beginner but I learn quickly and I'm talking about modifications to the GUI and other stuff like that | 05:03 |

Sir-Litepool | histo you her?E | 05:04 |
Sir-Litepool | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1861136 | 05:04 |
Sir-Litepool | you see it says the solution was to merge the two apparmor files | 05:04 |
histo | drhester7: depends on the "modifications" you are speaking of on how difficult it will be for you. | 05:04 |
drhester7 | histo: basically I'm just trying to personalize it to me. I'm a windows user over mac so I like the minimize and close buttons on the right instead of left. | 05:06 |
Jesse_V | drhester7: you can fix that in Ubuntu. Or you can switch to Linux Mint, which has that by default, and which is based on Ubuntu | 05:06 |
* Jesse_V runs Mint 14 | 05:07 | |
histo | drhester7: all that stuff is very easy | 05:07 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: Please don't recommend unsupported derivatives | 05:07 |
drhester7 | histo: part of this process is so that I can gain experience in computers all around | 05:08 |
theadmin | drhester7: Having the buttons on the right in Ubuntu is problematic, considering they'll move to the left when you maximize the window anyway because it merges the titlebar with the top panel | 05:08 |
Jesse_V | theadmin: well Mint isn't supported by Ubuntu, it's supported by the Mint team, so it is technically supported by them | 05:08 |
theadmin | drhester7: As a Windows user, you may like the KDE desktop better (get Kubuntu or install the kubuntu-desktop package, click: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/kubuntu-desktop ) | 05:08 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: I mean those not supported by this channel. | 05:09 |
Jesse_V | drhester7: there's a setting for it, but it's been a while and I forget where it is | 05:09 |
Jesse_V | ah, sorry then theadmin | 05:09 |
Jesse_V | is Cinnamon supported? | 05:09 |
Jesse_V | it's in the repos | 05:09 |
badicalia | sup yall | 05:09 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: Is in the Mint repos, not Ubuntu's | 05:09 |
drhester7 | theadmin: again more of it is for the experience. I like to figure stuff out but I need somewhere to start | 05:09 |
theadmin | Oh, never mind | 05:09 |
Katronix | histo oddly enough I brought my laptop physically closer to the router and it started working | 05:09 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: It's in the Ubuntu ones, so I guess it's supported | 05:09 |
Jesse_V | I thought you could install Cinnamon in Ubuntu from the standard repos, maybe not, sorry | 05:10 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: Yeah, is in universe/x11 | 05:10 |
Jesse_V | that's what I thought | 05:10 |
theadmin | Jesse_V: Just found it. Odd. Well anything in the repos is supported here | 05:10 |
Jesse_V | drhester7: well then Cinnamon should put the buttons on the right side, and the desktop looks awesome IMO | 05:10 |

kit-kat | hi to enable pseudo terminal (/dev/pts) kernel driver is enough or is it need some more extra packages ? | 05:47 |
deller | you guys realize that online doesnt mean actually here | 05:47 |
deller | anyways, i got a question about socket programming | 05:48 |
citric- | I have installed "Terminology" and changed a video setting, now Terminology starts but as a blank application (worthless) so I tried uninstalled with apt-get remove --purge terminology but it still keeps the settings when i try to reinstall so it's still worthless for me, any suggestions? | 05:48 |
deller | trying to send data from one program to another using UDP on locahost | 05:48 |
deller | but apparently i cant bind two sockets on th same address on the same machine | 05:48 |
theadmin | citric-: Most apps store settings either under ~/.appname or ~/.config/appname | 05:48 |
theadmin | citric-: That is, those that run as a regular user | 05:48 |
deller | basically i want full duplex communication over UDP on the same machine | 05:48 |
deller | is this possible> | 05:48 |
histo | deller: what language are you writting in? | 05:49 |
deller | c | 05:49 |

citric- | What is a preferred app to remotely connect to another ubuntu desktop on the same network ? | 05:50 |
theadmin | citric-: Eh, depends. Terminal connection? Definetly ssh. Full desktop? You can use VNC. TeamViewer is also an option, and is definetly the easiest to configure. | 05:50 |
citric- | theadmin, does SSH require any configuration or can I just ssh user@ip and good to go? | 05:51 |
SuperLag | histo: when I set it up, I just did mkfs.ext4 /dev/sdb1 | 05:51 |
theadmin | citric-: Well, you can as long as the server machine (one you're connecting to) has openssh-server installed | 05:51 |
theadmin | citric-: (and running) | 05:51 |
citric- | ahh. | 05:51 |
histo | SuperLag: then you have a partition of /dev/sdb1 what is the problem you are experiencing? | 05:52 |
SuperLag | histo: like this: UUID=ea891955-9dc7-4012-803c-91d561764c83 /home ext4 nodev,nosuid 0 2 | 05:52 |
SuperLag | histo: I just added a third hard drive. And mSATA SSD. When I started up gparted, that's when it referenced the second drive, and said it didn't know the partition table type | 05:53 |
* SuperLag might be a little nuts... 3 SSDs in his laptop. :) | 05:53 | |

theadmin | SuperLag: sudo file -s /dev/sdb, what does that give you? | 06:00 |
SuperLag | histo: it just seems odd, that's all. Why would gparted show it as unallocated, when it definitely *is* allocated, and currently in use, even? | 06:00 |
histo | SuperLag: no idea why gparted is being weird you'd have to have /dev/sdb1 not mounted to mess with it anyways | 06:00 |
SuperLag | theadmin: /dev/sdb: x86 boot sector; partition 1: ID=0x83, starthead 1, startsector 63, 1000215153 sectors, extended partition table (last)\011, code offset 0x0 | 06:01 |

yugandhar | please help me | 06:04 |

anders__ | Question: I'm wanting to "upgrade" from 32 bit to 64 bit. On the installation type screen, can I choose "Reinstall" or do I have to completely reformat the drive? | 06:23 |
we6jbo | I have a question | 06:24 |
histo | anders__: format | 06:24 |
histo | !ask | we6jbo | 06:24 |
anders__ | Thank you! | 06:24 |
ubottu | we6jbo: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 06:24 |
JennyBlueBird | anders__, you can probably keep your user settings if you got them on a separate partition, but the entire system, including all programs, must be reinstalled | 06:25 |
we6jbo | I was wondering if there is a program that would let me run a command and then wait for the command to finish before running a different command | 06:25 |
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, if I'm not mistaken && will do that | 06:25 |
anders__ | we6jbo: I think && would work. | 06:25 |
we6jbo | At later times though | 06:25 |
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, i.e firefox && echo "firefox has finished" | 06:26 |
JennyBlueBird | program 1 && sleep <lots of time> && program 2 | 06:26 |
we6jbo | Like for instance if I ran wget http://example.com/file1.zip and then in 5min I wanted to run wget -c example.com/file2.zip but I wanted the first wget process to finish before running the second one | 06:27 |
we6jbo | just using wget as an example | 06:27 |
F_XZ | we6jbo: you can try run wget files from a list. | 06:27 |
JennyBlueBird | wget 1 && sleep <5 minutes> && wget 2 | 06:27 |
we6jbo | yeah but i would have already done wget 1 and then hit enter | 06:28 |
we6jbo | lets say it takes 30min to download that file | 06:28 |
histo | we6jbo: well wget can use file lists | 06:28 |
anders__ | we6jbo: Couldn't you just open a new terminal tab/window? | 06:28 |
histo | we6jbo: you can add your links to a text file called lets say filelist and then wget -i filelist | 06:29 |
we6jbo | yeah | 06:29 |
=== NK`_ is now known as NK` | ||
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, you basically want a command that checks if another process is running and start if it has finished ? | 06:29 |
histo | we6jbo: or just wget file1 && wget file2 | 06:29 |
we6jbo | that would work | 06:29 |
histo | we6jbo: using && waits for the first command to finish successfully before starting the next | 06:29 |
we6jbo | I like JennyBlueBird 's idea | 06:30 |
we6jbo | I dont know how to do that though | 06:30 |
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, it depends what you want to do tbh | 06:30 |
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, what exactky is the issue with && ? | 06:30 |
JennyBlueBird | it seems to do what you want | 06:30 |
we6jbo | cause I would have already entered the command | 06:30 |
we6jbo | I dont know maybe I'm over thinking it | 06:31 |
JennyBlueBird | why can't you enter the two comands at the same time ? | 06:31 |
we6jbo | the webmaster gets mad | 06:31 |
histo | we6jbo: you can use the at command to schedule something to be done | 06:31 |
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, huh? how would he know ? | 06:31 |
we6jbo | Yeah I was thinking using at but I'd need the first command to finish though | 06:32 |
histo | we6jbo: at 4:30pm cat /your/mom | 06:32 |
histo | we6jbo: then write a script to monitor the pid of the first command | 06:32 |
we6jbo | yeah that would be good | 06:32 |
we6jbo | here I'll get one of his emails | 06:32 |
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, && does not execute the comands simulatenously. It executes the first one, and then runs the second if the first one finishes with a successful termination | 06:32 |
we6jbo | ok here's one. He basically says that I'm downloading too much stuff and it's costing him money | 06:33 |
histo | we6jbo: if you just want to run one command after another regardless of the first one use somecommand ; someothercommand | 06:33 |
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, so if you want to wait a little between two commands, just do: wget file1 && wait <time> && wget file2 | 06:33 |
aeon-ltd | we6jbo: what is it hosting? | 06:34 |
we6jbo | Yeah I do that for now but sometimes I like to wget the command then wait awhile and I might decided to wget something else | 06:34 |
we6jbo | I think it's on his own server | 06:34 |
SuperLag | histo: I was going to use gparted for /dev/sdc, but I used gdisk instead. Created GPT, then one fs using the entire drive... formatted as ext4. | 06:34 |
histo | SuperLag: No idea why do you need gparted since you used gdisk? | 06:34 |
RazLaptop | Anyone here buy ZaReason servers before? It shipped with a login and I have no idea what the password or login is | 06:34 |
we6jbo | I might try the at and the pid | 06:35 |
we6jbo | that might work | 06:35 |
SuperLag | histo: I *just* got gdisk. Tried gparted the very first time around. | 06:35 |
wheatthin | RazLaptop, I dont think that's an ubuntu question | 06:35 |
SuperLag | histo: s/Tried/Used | 06:35 |
we6jbo | ok I'm going to bed. Thank you all for your help and thank you histo and JennyBlueBird for the idea of using at and pid. | 06:36 |
JennyBlueBird | we6jbo, if you have some foresight you might run wget file1 && ./bashscript | 06:36 |
JennyBlueBird | then just change ./bashscript if you want to do some more stuff | 06:36 |
JennyBlueBird | or use ; instead of && | 06:37 |

tking | histo yes, or should i create a partition to contain that file itself? | 07:51 |
sere | tking: ntfs if your using windows aswell | 07:52 |
nanyaks_ | can you access your command line? | 07:53 |
tking | sere ntfs would work with ubuntu, mac and windows right? | 07:53 |
histo | tking: you can use ntfs or ext3 ... if you are using ext3 you need to add a file system driver to windows though as it doens't support ext3 out of the obx | 07:53 |
histo | s/obx/box/ | 07:53 |
sere | tking: i dont know about mac. never used it | 07:53 |
histo | tking: looks like you can add ntfs support to mac | 07:54 |
nanyaks_ | try the suggestions from here .. http://goo.gl/7KQZB | 07:54 |
histo | tking: http://hints.macworld.com/article.php?story=20090913140023382 | 07:54 |
sere | tking: you could split your package into 4.gig files and then just copy that whole directoy over.. but you would have alot of files | 07:55 |
nanyaks_ | hd5770: sure your installation media isn't corrupt? | 07:56 |
tking | sere its a backup file and how do i restore backup? | 07:56 |
hd5770 | yeah i used mini core and downloaded the rest meny times | 07:56 |
histo | tking: how'd you make the backup file? | 07:57 |
tking | sere in future since the commands would be tar cvfjz backup.tgz now with many files it would be a problems | 07:58 |
MindSpark | Hello guys, can someone recommend an open source web based bugtracking tool? | 07:58 |

somsip | foobArrr: I have seen a script on stackoverflow that uses uname in a find/delete to remove them. I shall look... | 09:25 |
somsip | foobArrr: NEEDS TESTING http://www.dmwl.net/node/26 | 09:25 |
Equinox3 | foobarArrr use synaptic to remove the ones you don't need | 09:25 |
Tripwire292 | any of you know anything about LVM? | 09:26 |

qursk | where can i go for that ? | 09:43 |
SixtyFold | #fedora would be closest probably haha | 09:43 |

theadmin | SixtyFold: Eh, CentOS is closer to RHEL than Fedora | 09:44 |
SixtyFold | ahh | 09:44 |
qursk | nope its actually downloaded iso from the official website | 09:44 |

cloneG | hello I would need a dns domain in order to get my openvpn connection working...I was told to use no-ip or dyndns services but...the question is: is not possible to make ubuntu do that task instead? | 09:49 |
somsip | TKing: maybe rename the dead user, create a new correctly-named user you can log in as, and move the files from deaduser home to newuser home. Some commands may help here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2086753 | 09:50 |
somsip | TKing: just a thought. Might not be the best idea... | 09:50 |
theadmin | cloneG: If your Ubuntu machine has a static IP with a domain and you can add subdomains freely, maybe, but if it's dynamic, well that's the whole point of dyndns... | 09:51 |
theadmin | cloneG: Generally, it's too much bother to set up manually. I'm using noip and can't complain, works perfectly | 09:52 |
Tripwire292 | cloneG, you dont /i/need/i/ a domain... just the external ip address. dyndns simply attaches a name to that dynamic ip you get from your isp | 09:52 |
Tripwire292 | i use dyndns, it also works great for what i do | 09:52 |
Name141 | Can anyone (that has one?) comment on how well the Intel HD graphics works on the G2020 in Ubuntu ? | 09:54 |
cloneG | yeah but as a third party service it is not durable | 09:54 |
cloneG | you need to be a regular user to keep it working properly apart from an account in one of those websites | 09:55 |
Tripwire292 | not durable? | 09:55 |
cloneG | you're bound to be a client | 09:55 |
cloneG | I like the independence ubuntu gives | 09:55 |
ActionParsnip | Name141: could try it in liveCD to test | 09:55 |
cloneG | no it stops working if you are not careful | 09:56 |
theadmin | cloneG: ...Well, if you want to have a domain, you're bound to be a client of some domain service anyway | 09:56 |
Tripwire292 | with dyndns, as a feee user, i have to login once every thirty days and that is | 09:56 |
somsip | Tripwire292: if you have a router, these can often be configured to update dyndns regularly | 09:56 |
TKing | somsip i created user and it cant login | 09:57 |
cloneG | thats the point...does not ubuntu gives that chance? to have your own domain on your own? | 09:57 |
Tripwire292 | i knnow, i just havent set it up yet.. | 09:57 |
theadmin | cloneG: ...You can't just have a domain of your own, you need a service | 09:57 |
TKing | somsip i mean i created a user and that user cant login | 09:57 |
Tripwire292 | actually idk if mine will do it, running a cisco 2611xm | 09:57 |

TKing | can u tell me please | 09:58 |
somsip | TKing: /var/logs | 09:58 |

Since they don't like Windows 8 , I might can get them to make the swap if Yahoo messenger is native ? | 09:59 |
cloneG | okay so no-ip or dyndns will do the trick...any other firm? | 10:00 |
theadmin | Name141: There are tons of clients for Yahoo. Empathy (built into Ubuntu) has Yahoo support | 10:00 |
Name141 | theadmin; yeah but usually lack all the features | 10:00 |
Name141 | (camera) | 10:00 |
cloneG | which is the more comfortable gui interface...menu app and so? | 10:00 |
theadmin | Name141: Hm, I think Jitsi has support for webcam chats over Yahoo | 10:00 |
Tripwire292 | cloneG, you could also go get a domain from a registrar | 10:01 |
Tripwire292 | its basically the same thing, tell it your external ip | 10:01 |
theadmin | Name141: I have no idea, I haven't used Yahoo since, like... uh... uh... I can't even remember the last time I opened yahoo.com for that matter | 10:01 |
zorael | Nothing conclusive emerged from the musings of a rolling flavor, I gather? | 10:01 |
Tripwire292 | cloneG, i use www.namecheap.com | 10:02 |
Tripwire292 | its good | 10:02 |
theadmin | zorael: Something sort of did, they shortened support for non-LTS releases to 9 months so that people are now forced to upgrade. Not technically rolling release, but "close enough" I guess | 10:02 |
Name141 | theadmin: Anyway, I'll see if the Windows 8 trip is over with after removing the tiles/windows apps.. If not, after it used 500 MBs in 3 hours (with a 10GB monthly cap..) I gotta do something. | 10:02 |
zorael | theadmin: All right, thanks | 10:02 |
Tripwire292 | Name141, doesnt pigeon support yahoo? | 10:03 |
TKing | somsip http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764199 this is the log from auth.log | 10:03 |

Tripwire292 | Name141, ah | 10:03 |
theadmin | Tripwire292: It does, but without VV (voice/video, not the white-haired immortal evil guy) | 10:03 |
Name141 | theadmin: They also like clicking their email icon and it going directly to it.. | 10:03 |
Tripwire292 | Name141, true | 10:03 |
theadmin | Name141: Hm. I honestly don't know if Yahoo! has an official messenger for UNIX-like systems. Check, and if not, try running it in WINE, it may just work | 10:04 |
antwort | could anybody tell me how to install a higher version of software using apt-get | 10:05 |
antwort | ? | 10:05 |
somsip | TKing: at what point in the login process is this failing? | 10:05 |
Name141 | theadmin: Anywho, best case is that Windows 8 stops eating the bandwith.. I'd hate to call Lonovo and tell them I don't want the system because of an OS.. | 10:05 |
Tripwire292 | antwort, are you trying to do updates? | 10:05 |
antwort | i don't want to update my disti | 10:05 |
Tripwire292 | antwort, just a single package? | 10:06 |
TKing | somsip when i get to screen of entering password in GUI. I enter password screen goes black for 1 second or less and return back to login screen | 10:06 |
TKing | so it is a loop of login screen | 10:06 |
antwort | yes only a single | 10:06 |
theadmin | antwort: Generally speaking, if "apt-get install" pulls in an older version of software than what's currently released, it means the version apt-get pulls is the recommended one for your Ubuntu version (newer versions may even fail on your Ubuntu version in this case), but you can search your favorite search engine for "softwareNameHere ppa", for example "pidgin ppa" | 10:06 |
antwort | but it depends | 10:06 |
somsip | TKing: this is the same thing you had the other day still? It was you wasn't it? | 10:06 |
antwort | install curl depends on libcurl | 10:07 |
antwort | so it woun't work | 10:07 |
theadmin | antwort: Well, again, search for a ppa or in the worst case build it yourself from source. | 10:07 |
TKing | somsip this is different: because i had problem the other day, i formated and reinstall this time made backup.tgz file containing my full system backup. stupid me i wanted to extract archieve to see if it works i mistakenly extracted in my /home directory | 10:08 |
TKing | somsip the whole files meant to be in / are in /home -- immedaitely using sudo nautilus / i wanted to quickly delete it and it failed, so i rebooted and couldn't login any more | 10:09 |
somsip | TKing: so login as root in text mode and tidy up. I thought that was your intention with the questions you've been asking. | 10:10 |
Ben64 | TKing: don't do sudo nautilus | 10:10 |
TKing | somsip how do i tidy up? i have already remove the folders from /home i mean root boot etc folders that were created in /home | 10:12 |
theadmin | TKing: You may want to remove config folders such as ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 and ~/.config and so on and so on since they were likely ruined with this "sudo nautilus" thing of yours | 10:13 |
cloneG | Tripwire292 does namecheap.com manage both dns and domain for same price? I bought a domain a couple of years ago and they only gave me the name...Y would need an ip public for this computer aswell! | 10:13 |

freakynl | whilst on the subject - when will it finally clear up old kernels? Had over 2GB in /lib/modules alone - auto update bites in the ass like this | 10:15 |
theadmin | TKing: ~ | 10:15 |
theadmin | TKing: ~ is your home folder, normally /home/username | 10:15 |

theadmin | walltender: Try Kazam | 10:17 |
TKing | theadmin am in there apart from ~/.gnome and ~/.gnome2 and ~/.config what else? or should i remove all . files | 10:17 |
theadmin | TKing: I think those 3 are enough, but not 100% sure. | 10:18 |
TKing | theadmin another problem, i created a new user and that user cant login | 10:18 |
theadmin | TKing: Hms. Is there anything weird under /etc/skel/? | 10:19 |
TKing | theadmin if i remove those would and reboot would everything restore it self? or how do i get them back to reload properly | 10:19 |
theadmin | TKing: Eh, they'll just reappear anyways, apps will recreate them | 10:20 |

mat619 | My goal is to have that box between the switch port and the device to be monitored, let's say a network printer. eth0 comes from the switch, forwards all packets unmodified to eth1, which forwards them to the printer.

[Gentoo] | TKing: can you log in on console | 10:30 |
mat619 | babyswizz: does your VM have a floppy drive, with a good floppy image loaded? | 10:30 |
theadmin | lessless: Install virtualbox-dkms | 10:30 |
TKing | Gentoo yes with ctrl+alt+f1 right? | 10:31 |
[Gentoo] | yeah or whatever way | 10:31 |
ActionParsnip | theadmin: gksudo nautilus will run a file browser as root.... | 10:31 |
[Gentoo] | outside the gui | 10:31 |
theadmin | ActionParsnip: Right, but "sudo nautilus" is no good | 10:31 |

babyswizz | my system itself does not have a floppy drive mat619 | 10:31 |
theadmin | ActionParsnip: Which is what TKing did | 10:32 |
TKing | theadmin ActionParsnip its a mistake i did gksudo | 10:32 |
TKing | [Gentoo] i can login user from console | 10:32 |
[Gentoo] | ok | 10:32 |
[Gentoo] | no idea | 10:32 |
[Gentoo] | :) | 10:33 |
lessless | theadmin, no use | 10:33 |
mat619 | babyswizz: it's a VM, right? | 10:33 |
lessless | vboxdrv: unrecognized service | 10:33 |
babyswizz | mat619: yes | 10:33 |
TKing | theadmin am thinking since its possible to login as root@user can i login as root@root and then delete user@userPC but then i would have backed up /home | 10:35 |
krypto | %sy in top output is almost 100% what can be the issue? | 10:35 |
TKing | theadmin and create new user and restore everything back | 10:35 |
Tripwire292 | mat619, afaik... wireshark wont interfere with the packets, it just simply siffs them. in order to see just your printer, or whatever :P, you need to set up a filter for that device, whether it be protocol, ip, mac, etc | 10:36 |

TKing | Seriously system restore to last know good configuration will do well in Ubuntu or system repair | 10:37 |
Tripwire292 | babyswizz, have you checked your settings in the vbox manager? under the entry for your vm >> storage you might find a floppy drive | 10:39 |
[Gentoo] | TKing: system restore? | 10:40 |
TKing | [Gentoo] system restore as it is in windows | 10:41 |
[Gentoo] | that wont touch ubuntu? | 10:41 |
babyswizz | tripwire: I actually dont have a floppy hardware on my system but i think the vm was set to capture a floppy hence the error | 10:41 |
Tripwire292 | well with vbox you can actually set up a virtual fdd, just like you do with the hdd and install img | 10:42 |
Tripwire292 | babyswizz ^ | 10:43 |
Tripwire292 | babyswizz, you dont need to have a fdd physically in your computer | 10:44 |

Tripwire292 | babyswizz, ah. well vmware is pretty much the same, ive used both. and sounds like ubuntu is trying to mount the drive, but nothing is there to mount (just guessing here) maybe check your fstab. also i would check the virtual machine settings to ensure there isnt a ffd being virtualized | 10:47 |
clcto | o/ | 10:48 |
babyswizz | Tripwire: how do I go about this, am actually a newbee | 10:49 |
Tripwire292 | babyswizz, well i would do in a terminal sudo gedit /etc/fstab | 10:51 |
Tripwire292 | babyswizz, i assume your using the desktop edition with a gui | 10:51 |
babyswizz | Tripwire: desktop edition of what | 10:52 |
somsip | !gksudo | Tripwire292 | 10:52 |
ubottu | Tripwire292: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) | 10:52 |
ActionParsnip | Tripwire292: sudo is not suitable for GUI apps | 10:52 |
Tripwire292 | babyswizz, look for an entry that has to do with /dev/floppy0 | 10:53 |
Tripwire292 | haha well TIL.... | 10:53 |
[Gentoo] | so much easier to just use sudo vim | 10:53 |
theadmin | Tripwire292: Don't you mean /dev/fd0? | 10:53 |
ActionParsnip | Tripwire292: il it changes the owner of a file in $HOME and sudo won't work | 10:53 |
theadmin | I don't think floppy* even exists, though unsure | 10:54 |
Tripwire292 | just using what he said | 10:54 |

mat619 | Tripwire292: that will just forward the packets like on osi layer 0 | 11:08 |
mat619 | Tripwire292: in through eth0, being monitored there, and out through eth1 to the target | 11:09 |

demonoid_me | ? | 13:12 |
ActionParsnip | SteveBell: your data is backed up, right? | 13:12 |
demonoid_me | exoooooooooooooo | 13:12 |
demonoid_me | :D | 13:12 |
SteveBell | ActionParsnip: yes, I can erase that disk. my main question is, if that drive should still be fully operational. don't mind re-formatting | 13:15 |
SteveBell | although that would be the third time I go through the 2 day process of cloning 2TB :P | 13:16 |
bgardner | SteveBell: You might want to do a surface test on the drive if it took a sharp impact as you describe. | 13:16 |
ActionParsnip | SteveBell: there are tools on the ultimate boot cd, it will test the drive extensively using the manufacturers tool | 13:17 |
ActionParsnip | SteveBell: they have the tols from the main drive manufacturers | 13:17 |
SteveBell | bgardner: ActionParsnip thanks for the hints. don't have a boot cd. but have a bottable USB. but since it's an external drive wouldn't be booting up the "normal" ubuntu on the machine be sufficient to access those tests? | 13:18 |
SteveBell | * bootable | 13:18 |

bgardner | b14d3: Show us (paste.ubuntu.com) the result of tail -n 100 .xsession-errors | 13:55 |
SteveBell | bgardner: would this work for a ext2 drive? sudo apt-get install badblocks | 13:56 |
SteveBell | sudo badblocks /dev/sda | 13:56 |
SteveBell | or more like fsck.ext2 -c ? | 13:57 |
bgardner | SteveBell: Those actually work out to be the same thing | 13:57 |
SteveBell | but since I saw all that messy output from the e2fsck wouldn't a re-format be appropriate? | 13:58 |
bgardner | SteveBell: But yes, do that. You can include the -w parameter if you are sure you don't need the contents of the drive. | 13:58 |
b14d3 | bgardner: Can't currently. In order to get it to save anything I had to delete it. It was no longer saving my irssi configuration. But, I'll return in just a second with that. Will only take a minute or so. | 13:58 |
SteveBell | bgardner: so I'd reformat maybe to ext4 then do fsck.ext4 -c -w ? | 13:59 |
bgardner | SteveBell: If you want to call it from fsck, then it's -c -c, not -c -w | 14:00 |
bgardner | SteveBell: Otherwise yes. | 14:00 |

bgardner | SteveBell: What was the command that you issued that resulted in that error message? | 14:30 |
ActionParsnip | esperegu: no, just run: sudo update-grub | 14:31 |
SteveBell | bgardner: no command. I used the disk-utility and clicked format drive | 14:32 |
Esokrates | ActionParsnip, "no, just run: sudo update-grub" sounded as it would have been an answer to my question ... did you write the wrong name by mistake? | 14:32 |
ActionParsnip | Esokrates: yes, it answers you. You don't have to run update-initramfs, you simply need to run: sudo update-grub | 14:33 |
SonikkuAmerica | Esokrates: It is :) Usually only an app or process that needs an updated initrd will do it itself. | 14:33 |

bgardner | SteveBell: If you want to do the surface test beforehand: sudo mke2fs -t ext4 -c -c /dev/sdb1 | 14:37 |
Esokrates | jeevanus: simply boot an live cd, mount the harddrive and copy your data | 14:38 |
Esokrates | jeevanus: then reinstall everything and play back the backup | 14:38 |
jeevanus | but all the applications will be gone right? | 14:38 |

brian234 | Hi guys, how would I go about partitioning a usb so that partition 1 would be a bootable startup disk and partition 2 would be for ordinary data? | 14:39 |
Esokrates | jeevanus: of course you have an new system ... you could backup the application settings from /etc and /home | 14:39 |
Esokrates | jeevanus: simply reinstalling everything and using the old config files should do it | 14:39 |

gkimball | ActionParsnip: .bashrc and all the stuff in my home directory will be fine. I use Git to keep the same setup across multiple computers. Just this ssh server is being silly and i think it's something a co-worker messed up on. | 15:13 |
ActionParsnip | gkimball: check ~/.profile too | 15:14 |
gkimball | Action ahh true | 15:14 |
gkimball | ActionParsnip: I believe this is default .profile? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5764974/ | 15:15 |

=== deegee__ is now known as drussell | ||
wheatthin | Guest27439, is that program supported by ubuntu? | 16:00 |
bazhang | !info tmuxinator | 16:01 |
ubottu | Package tmuxinator does not exist in raring | 16:01 |
MonkeyDust | Guest27439 it's called tmux | 16:01 |
MonkeyDust | !info tmux | 16:01 |
ubottu | tmux (source: tmux): terminal multiplexer. In component main, is optional. Version 1.7-3 (raring), package size 229 kB, installed size 513 kB | 16:01 |

When I look at the update instructions https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Upgrades, I have already taken these step. How do I verify that I have the correct versions of the aforementioned packages? Will using dpkg -s <package name> and looking at the "status" be sufficient? | 16:02 |
ubottu | Multiple cross-site scripting (XSS) vulnerabilities in the make_variant_list function in mod_negotiation.c in the mod_negotiation module in the Apache HTTP Server 2.4.x before 2.4.3, when the MultiViews option is enabled, allow remote attackers to inject arbitrary web script or HTML via a crafted filename that is not properly handled during construction of a variant list. (http://cve.mitre.org/cgi-bin/cvename.cgi?name=CVE-2012-2687) | 16:02 |

TomJ616 | I've been going nuts trying to find a solution online | 16:09 |
ActionPa1snip | TomJ616: you could edit the session config file to set the res using xrandr | 16:10 |

auronandace | TomJ616: why do you need to change the resolution during install? surely you'd want to change it once installed | 16:13 |

rudolf_ | Some sites are asking to edit one file and some are asking to edit some others but none is working. | 18:08 |
Crowler | rudolf_ you forgot to tell that modem name | 18:08 |

wilee-nilee | TKing, Your best help is at the ubuntu forums qith uefi, find the bootrepair tool run a bootinfo summary and start a thread at the UF and post the url to that script. | 18:09 |

TKing | sere_ i dont have windows, | 18:11 |
sere_ | TKing: thats ok ..still same concept | 18:11 |
Crowler | rudolf_ been there? http://askubuntu.com/questions/214398/how-to-set-up-micromax-353g-wireless-modem-in-12-10 | 18:11 |
TKing | i wish i can run grub.cfg from grub rescue | 18:11 |
samuncle | a | 18:12 |
TKing | sere_ if i can't boot CD then nothing can be done | 18:12 |
TKing | sere_ cant boot cd or liveUSB | 18:12 |
rudolf_ | Crowler, yeah...I tried that | 18:13 |
TKing | if it was grub2 i would have fixed it but grub with grub rescue> very limited commands | 18:13 |
rudolf_ | I should try once again with this. I think I forgot something. | 18:13 |
sere_ | TKing: oh i see..hmm | 18:14 |
Crowler | rudolf_ where it failed? | 18:15 |
rudolf_ | Crowler, when I entered the command modprobe..... it gave a long list with some wierd name. | 18:16 |
BluesKaj | TKing, have you tried installing grub from the live media to the /dev/sdX , most likely /dev/sda ? | 18:17 |
Crowler | rudolf_ can you paste? | 18:17 |
rudolf_ | But still doesnt detect the modem. | 18:17 |
rudolf_ | yeah sure | 18:17 |
TKing | BlueaKaj? how can i do that? | 18:17 |
rudolf_ | minute | 18:18 |
jerry5 | How can I modify Ubuntu to auto shutdown if the unlock screen password is incorrect? | 18:18 |
rudolf_ | Crowler, the list is so long that terminal isnt able to display it completely. | 18:20 |
rudolf_ | Can i pipe it to some text file? | 18:20 |
BluesKaj | TKing, from your live-usb , sudo grub-install /dev/sdX , if you run fdisk -l in the terminal on the live-usb , you'll find the assigned device /dev/sdX | 18:20 |
Crowler | rudolf_ command | out.txt | 18:21 |
BluesKaj | TKing, X being a,b,c or whatever it lists as. | 18:21 |

TKing | BluesKaj i have loaded LiveUSB now how do i boot | 18:27 |
TKing | with bootrepair | 18:28 |
rudolf_ | Crowler it shouldnt be this long? | 18:28 |
rudolf_ | it has some lines starting with blacklist | 18:29 |

rudolf_ | sorry | 18:30 |
rudolf_ | hmm...I tried that procedure twice but still the same result. | 18:30 |
Crowler | rudolf_ maybe you have a typo in your "modprobe" line | 18:31 |
rudolf_ | is the command given on the site correct? I even tried pasting it. | 18:32 |
rudolf_ | Crowler, will there be a "\" after 1c9e?? | 18:33 |
rudolf_ | see it. | 18:33 |
Crowler | rudolf_ you have japanese keyboard? | 18:34 |
rudolf_ | In the post just below it, it is written that the above answer works on ubuntu 12.04 and I have ubuntu 13.04 | 18:35 |

rudolf_ | Crowler I dont know which is correct...I tried removing "\" and still the same result. | 18:39 |
Jeremiah_ | lotuspsychje, My issue is these tutorials explain how to do it when insatlling ubuntu second, not windows second.... | 18:39 |
Jeremiah_ | that might help | 18:39 |

BluesKaj | Jeremiah_, read above | 18:40 |
Jeremiah_ | BluesKaj, K thanks. I'll look into that | 18:40 |
sere_ | jerry5: you might be able to do it with your .profile using some sort of if and then script.. kinda like this http://techblog.ribouxj.org/2010/01/27/password-protected-auto-login-on-ubuntu-auto-lock-screen-after-login/ | 18:41 |
adamk | Fenb: There is no simple answer to that question. First, different people recommend different things... Second, I don't think anyone here has any idea what you are actually talking about... | 18:41 |
rudolf_ | The commands in ubuntu are so complex and difficult to understand!! | 18:41 |
bradley__ | does anyone here have ubuntu server? im connected to a wireless netowrk but i cant get an ip address and google is no help | 18:41 |
lotuspsychje | !bash | rudolf_ | 18:42 |
ubottu | rudolf_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 18:42 |

GGG | anyone use Unetbootin on a Mac to make a bootable Ubuntu USB? | 18:44 |
sere_ | jerry5: your welcome | 18:44 |
WeThePeople | ggg, try ##mac or #mac | 18:44 |
GGG | or better yet anyone know how to make a bootable USB for Ubuntu via a Mac? | 18:45 |
lotuspsychje | GGG: you can download ubuntu livecd and make an usb from there maybe | 18:45 |
adamk | Fenb: Use whatever works best to fill your needs. | 18:45 |
lotuspsychje | Fenb: maybe you can specify your purpose more? or any package you looking for? | 18:46 |
adamk | Fenb: It's not as if you can't try the options out there and find the one that is best for you. | 18:46 |
ningu | I'm running ubuntu server, and I have some web apps that are stored in a home directory and run under that user. it would be nice if I could manage starting them up with an upstart or similar script in that user's home directory. any suggestions how that could be done? | 18:47 |
ningu | I've been using this but it seems to have stopped working in upstart 1.8: http://pastebin.com/rk9u3Zhv | 18:47 |
WeThePeople | ningu, #bash might be able to help also | 18:47 |
ningu | WeThePeople: ok, but the issue is not how to write the startup script, it's how to get it triggered on boot without having to add a custom /etc/init/foo.conf | 18:48 |
armin | any way to change virtual desktops with the mouse wheel on the desktop in unity? | 18:48 |
ningu | WeThePeople: or rather, I'd like to add one that scans $HOME/.init like the one I linked to, so after that's installed I can just edit $HOME/.init/foo.conf :) | 18:49 |
WeThePeople | ningu, have fun | 18:49 |
WeThePeople | :) | 18:49 |
Fenb | lotuspsychje: flash in general, and nvidia for general? | 18:50 |
Crowler | rudolf_ the command itself looks ok, its just an init string for usb device. shoud work | 18:50 |
Fenb | adamk: what's your opinion? | 18:51 |
lotuspsychje | !poll | Fenb | 18:52 |
ubottu | Fenb: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:52 |
rudolf_ | hey Crowler you there? | 18:52 |
Fenb | lotuspsychje: yea, but how do i know the features? | 18:53 |

Neozonz|Disc | is there anyway to set grub.conf to nomodeset by default when installing? | 19:01 |
rudolf_ | Crowler, how to downgrade the version? There is no such option in synaptics for that. | 19:02 |
lotuspsychje | !nomodeset | Neozonz|Disc | 19:02 |
ubottu | Neozonz|Disc: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 19:02 |
OerHeks | Neozonz|Disc, nomodeset is an F6 option when starting the installer, there is no force to do so automaticly | 19:02 |
Neozonz|Disc | OerHeks, but after installation does it retain the setting? | 19:03 |
Neozonz|Disc | or must i do something again? | 19:03 |
OerHeks | Neozonz, no, you need to alter grub to get nomodeset after install | 19:03 |

Logos01 | Howdy folks. I'm running an LXC container to connect to my company's internal servers via VPN. Everything's fine there -- just have one complication: my container has a 10.0.3.x address... and that is preventing me from reaching the company's 10.0.3.0/24 subnet. I've googled but cannot seem to find instructions/insight on how to assign specific subnets to an lxc container. | 19:23 |
Logos01 | Anyone familiar with this, or can point me to docs? | 19:23 |
Logos01 | Oh -- Ubuntu 12.04 amd64 | 19:24 |
lotuspsychje | Logos01: maybe the guys from ##networking can help aswell | 19:24 |
Logos01 | lotuspsychje: I'm pretty sure this is specifically an lxc-configuration thing. Just need to know how to change the subnet lxc uses to assign addresses to containers. | 19:25 |

Logos01 | vfw: Yes, that's exactly right. And that's what I want to do. | 19:26 |

Logos01 | lotuspsychje: lotuspsychje I've been going over https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/lxc.html but it doesn't seem to have any info on my issue. | 19:28 |
Logos01 | Unfortunately /etc/init/lxc-net.conf is a non-existent file. | 19:29 |
biax | so, its not possible then? | 19:30 |
ripplebit | guys my laptop isn't reading my sd card, how can i fix this? | 19:31 |
vfw | Logos01: Are you sure? sudo find /etc/ -name lxc-net.conf -type f | 19:31 |
lotuspsychje | ripplebit: did you try gparted to re-format your sd? | 19:31 |
lotuspsychje | biax: try the url, got good info on uefi | 19:32 |

Nvveen | Okay, I'm trying to replace Ubuntu's grub2 with Arch's, but Ubuntu keeps overwriting the data if I'm trying to reinstall the kernel images. How can I install these images without grub2? | 19:35 |
GGG | okay I followed http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/create-a-usb-stick-on-mac-osx and made a bootable Ubuntu USB | 19:36 |
vfw | Logos01: "Container networking in LXC is very flexible. It is triggered by the lxc.network.type configuration file entries. If no such entries exist, then the container will share the host's networking stack." | 19:36 |
vfw | Logos01: Is that the case? ^^^\ | 19:36 |
GGG | I started my PC laptop and choose the USB as the boot disk Ubuntu started to to run | 19:36 |
GGG | and then the computer shut off | 19:36 |
lotuspsychje | GGG: is that a mac laptop? | 19:37 |
GGG | it won't boot with the USB and it won't boot with it out | 19:37 |
GGG | no it's a PC laptop | 19:37 |
GGG | Razor Blade | 19:37 |
ripplebit | lotuspsychje: hmm okay, not too sure if it's listed | 19:37 |
Xaro | Hey all | 19:37 |
ripplebit | i dont think it is | 19:37 |
GGG | now my laptop is bricked | 19:37 |
vfw | Logos01: "lxc.network.ipv4 and lxc.network.ipv6 set the respective IP addresses, if those should be static." | 19:38 |
lotuspsychje | GGG: did you change bios to startup usb first boot? | 19:38 |
lotuspsychje | ripplebit: you can scroll drives at top of gparted, your sd dont show? | 19:38 |
GGG | bios doesn't let me change the startup -- I have to press the f12 and choose it --- but now I can't even do that | 19:38 |
ripplebit | lotuspsychje: ah ok, yeah its not showing. do i need to restart? | 19:39 |
vfw | Logos01: What is the subnet range of the gateway router you are on? | 19:39 |
ripplebit | i had to install gparted btw | 19:39 |
Nvveen | In other words, how can I install the kernel images without also installing the removed grub package in Ubuntu? | 19:39 |
tking | please anyone experiencing same? I have done sudo apt-get remove unity-lens-shopping and amazon search still shows up after turning it off in privacy. Ubuntu 13.04 | 19:40 |
lotuspsychje | ripplebit: if its not showing it might be your sdcard slot drivers not installed properly | 19:40 |
GGG | what to do now? | 19:40 |
lotuspsychje | ripplebit: did you check additional drivers section? | 19:40 |
vfw | Logos01: What is the host's IP? | 19:40 |
Logos01 | vfw: So it turns out there's another place that needs to be modified besides /etc/init/lxc-net.conf | 19:41 |
lotuspsychje | GGG: you cant enter bios anymore? | 19:41 |

DMA | Hello. How can I find out the date of installation on an Ubuntu Server? | 19:41 |
Logos01 | DMA: That's not entirely possible. | 19:41 |
lotuspsychje | !server | DMA | 19:41 |
ubottu | DMA: Ubuntu Server Edition is a release of Ubuntu designed especially for server environments, including a server specific !kernel and no !GUI. The install CD contains many server applications.

ripplebit | i've looked at a few sites, apparently people have been having issues with the RTxx209 realteck driver or something. where is the official page to check? | 19:41 |
Logos01 | The best you can do is see the oldest logfile. | 19:41 |
GGG | nope the machine powers up and then goes 'clink' and shuts off -- I can't get into bios | 19:42 |
DMA | Logos01: which depends on log rotation settings, so is not for sure | 19:42 |
guest_zehexx | how to see open port in my ubuntu using bash? | 19:42 |
lotuspsychje | ripplebit: try software&updates last tab additional drivers | 19:42 |
Logos01 | DMA: Indeed. | 19:42 |
Logos01 | Why does the date of installation matter? | 19:42 |
lotuspsychje | guest_zehexx: nmap yourself for open ports | 19:43 |
GGG | anyone know what to do? | 19:43 |
ripplebit | it says "no proprietary drivers are in use" | 19:43 |
lotuspsychje | GGG: try ##hardware maybe these guys know | 19:43 |
GGG | thanks | 19:44 |

thelamest | DMA: this could give you some idea maybe: find -type f -printf '%T+ %p\n' | sort | head -n 1000 | 19:47 |
lotuspsychje | GGG: if you cant enter bios, its a hardware fault, ubuntu support wont be able to help you further with this | 19:47 |
DJones | mmercer: You're welcome, when I looked, I thought it was just iso's | 19:47 |
mmercer | on the http side, it does look that way | 19:47 |
mmercer | but just for s/gs i tested changing archive.ubuntu to old-releases in sources.list and sure enough, it worked | 19:47 |
elisa87 | Fatal server error: | 19:48 |

rudolf_ | Crowler you still there? | 19:49 |
lotuspsychje | GGG: no ubuntu cant brick your laptop, what was default Os from laptop? | 19:49 |
ripplebit | to be honest i've never tested it before, but i can only assume that it does | 19:49 |
rudolf_ | Well I finally got my usb modem working. | 19:49 |

lotuspsychje | GGG: you see POST booting msges? | 19:50 |
rudolf_ | It is not detectting any new devices. | 19:50 |
newok | i'm try to use gufw | 19:50 |
lotuspsychje | !ufw | newok | 19:51 |
ubottu | newok: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw (GNOME) and Guarddog (KDE from Lucid onwards) also exist. | 19:51 |
rudolf_ | I try to search for new devices but it doesnt find any. | 19:51 |
newok | there is, incoming and outgoing, how to setting to deny another computer copying our file? | 19:52 |
newok | in gufw? | 19:52 |

newok | current,i'm just use browsing and chat, what are port that they use? | 19:56 |
newok | browsing = port? ,chat = port ? | 19:57 |
OerHeks | newok, freenode uses port 8001 in Xchat, in stead of the standard 6667 | 19:57 |
=== jinie_ is now known as jinie | ||
OerHeks | newok webchat uses port 80 i think | 19:58 |
newok | oerheks,if i'm using xchat its mean it use 8001?,and is true (in gufw) if i'm deny all outgoing ,then i'm add allow for 8001?? | 19:59 |
OerHeks | newok yes | 20:00 |
mmercer | whats the best guide for learning how to build packages on ubuntu ? | 20:01 |
lotuspsychje | !build | mmercer | 20:02 |
ubottu | mmercer: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first) | 20:02 |
newok | oerheks thank you. but if we browing using firefox, and i want to to add allow again in (guifw outgoing) ,what port that i must add for allow firefox ? | 20:02 |
OerHeks | newok, as webchat uses port 80, you need nothing to do | 20:03 |
newok | what port we must close to deny another computer access our file in disk? | 20:06 |
newok | oerheks thxx. | 20:06 |
newok | is that true if we close ftp port? | 20:07 |
theadmin | newok: Uh, no other computer will be able to access your filesystem unless you have some file sharing service running | 20:07 |
theadmin | newok: If you have an FTP daemon running, then it makes no sense to close the port. Simply shutdown the daemon. | 20:07 |
lotuspsychje | i want to make a links2 startup icon, so it starts in terminal on a specific website, how would i create one like that? | 20:09 |
mmercer | lotuspsychje: so i realize that we have a checkinstall method on fedora, but those generated packages are *not* treated as "reliable", does ubuntu treat checkinstall builds differently (especially in ppas ) ? | 20:09 |
mmercer | ie, if you put checkinstall .debs in a ppa, how reliable are they consisdered by the ubuntu community | 20:09 |
DJones | mmercer: Pretty much the same, they're not considered suitable for uploading to a ppa | 20:10 |
MonkeyDust | ie, ppa's are not (always) supported by the community | 20:10 |
newok | theadmin thx. but when i'm idle no do anything, why in system monitor-resources-network history in sending value is active?? | 20:10 |
DJones | mmercer: From https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall CheckInstall is not designed to produce packages suitable for distribution. Do not use it to produce packages intended for the Ubuntu archive or PPAs. | 20:10 |
theadmin | newok: ...You need to read up how TCP/IP works, obviously some packets will be sent/received all the time just to keep the connection up for that matter | 20:11 |
theadmin | newok: You can use netstat to determine if something strange's going on, but is highly unlikely. Ubuntu's quite secure. | 20:11 |
MonkeyDust | mmercer anyone could make any custom ppa, the community cannot suport all of them | 20:11 |
theadmin | mmercer: Generally, not in the software center = not "reliable" as such. All depends on your trust. If you truly want your software to be recognized by the Ubuntu community, just upload it to developer.ubuntu.com -- those nice guys even do packaging and testing for you ;) | 20:12 |
newok | theadmin ok,thx, i will try learning it,. | 20:13 |
tgm4883 | theadmin, I think that is only the case for software that is being sold for profit | 20:13 |
mmercer | MonkeyDust: sure, but id imagine ubuntu isnt all that different from fedora or centos as regards to the repositories... there are plenty of us that contirbure to well known and "trusted" 3rd party repositories (they arent "official" channels, but they are still considered highly trustworthy, etc) | 20:13 |
lotuspsychje | !dev > lotuspsychje | 20:14 |
ubottu | lotuspsychje, please see my private message | 20:14 |
theadmin | tgm4883: Nay, they do any software, even free one. Open-source submissions should be done through PPAs, but even so they are still tested | 20:14 |
=== ndj is now known as n | ||
tgm4883 | theadmin, I had to package my own software, and it's still awaiting approval | 20:14 |

mmercer | like right now, the company im working for now uses 11.04, and the latest collectd i find in any of the repos for 11.04 is the official package of 4.2 which is *way* behind | 20:14 |
lotuspsychje | mmercer: http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ | 20:14 |
tgm4883 | mmercer, there is no 3rd party repo I know of for Ubuntu | 20:15 |
Nvveen | Does anyone know how I can install the linux kernel images without grub? | 20:15 |
lotuspsychje | !cookie | theadmin | 20:15 |
ubottu | theadmin: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 20:15 |
theadmin | mmercer: 11.04 is way old itself :P It's not even supported anymore | 20:15 |
theadmin | lotuspsychje: Um, thanks? :D | 20:15 |
lotuspsychje | :p | 20:15 |
tgm4883 | theadmin, actually, no you can't do free applications anymore via d.u.c until they roll out the new upload process | 20:16 |
mmercer | theadmin: i fully realize that, but it is what we have in place here, and i cant just randomly upgrade to 12 or 13 right now without knowing the risk to the systems | 20:16 |
tgm4883 | theadmin, "Thank you for submitting a gratis Free Software application through MyApps. At this time we are unable to process this request, as we are working on the implementation of a new app upload process." | 20:16 |
tgm4883 | theadmin, then it points you to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AppDevUploadProcess | 20:16 |
theadmin | tgm4883: Eh, just means you gotta wait :D | 20:16 |
lotuspsychje | MonkeyDust: thats an interesting security topic to discuss | 20:16 |
tgm4883 | theadmin, my app has been in the queue for probably about a year now | 20:17 |
theadmin | tgm4883: Eh. I really wouldn't worry, they are rolling so much new stuff out after all | 20:17 |

I installed ubuntu studio 13.04 because I need to produce some audios for a radio show and I must be able to make phone calls through GV and record these calls, as well as be able to play some audios to the other party.

jerry5 | rubs, yeah and it isn't even th emost popular linux dist | 20:27 |
theadmin | jerry5: It is, technically, at least on the desktop | 20:27 |
SD70ACe | probably not in the server market though | 20:28 |
DJones | nimbiotics: I can't help with the problem, but you may also get help in the Ubuntu Studio channel, #ubuntustudio It might be a fairly quiet channel and could take a while for a response | 20:28 |
jerry5 | theadmin, according to some sources it's not the most popular desktop. mint is more popular now | 20:28 |
MonkeyDust | jerry5 no, mint has the most hits in search engines, blogs etc, but is not the most used | 20:29 |
lotuspsychje | jerry5: i bet there are more boxes running in the world then any distro | 20:29 |
lotuspsychje | ubuntu boxes that is | 20:29 |
theadmin | jerry5: Eh, I strongly doubt it, considering Mint is a major annoyance and is quite buggy too, at least last I checked broke on me all the time | 20:29 |
clcto | archlinux has prolly 1/10th the users of ubuntu, but just about as many in irc. now thats a community | 20:29 |

Norrin | zykotick9, there has never been such a distinction before. so why now? | 21:22 |
Norrin | in short, what's teh difference? | 21:22 |
vfw | Norrin: What do you mean? There has always been a difference. | 21:23 |
Norrin | never seen a mac ubuntu image before | 21:23 |
MojoPikon | Norrin: Mac computers have special requirements for booting ISO images, so they add some tweaks for they to boot Ubuntu correctly. | 21:23 |
Norrin | MojoPikon, it's meant to run on bare metal or something? | 21:24 |
MystaMax | wow | 21:24 |
Norrin | MojoPikon, any idea which is best for a vm? | 21:24 |

mojtaba | Is it the ultimate solution? or is there any better equivalent? | 21:25 |
vfw | Norrin: You want to know what the differences between the Mac ISO and the PC ISO? | 21:25 |
Norrin | given i always installed the basic image before no problems. so why all of a sudden a mac image? | 21:25 |
Norrin | vfw, yes | 21:26 |
MojoPikon | norrin: For vm's, ubuntu jeos is a good option. It has a smaller footprint than standard ones. https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/jeos-and-vmbuilder.html | 21:26 |
sam113101 | I wish I had a mac | 21:26 |
vfw | Norrin: Let us ask you this question: Do you have a Mac or a PC (that you want to install Ubuntu on)? | 21:26 |
Norrin | vfw, "on" is relative. i'm installing in a vm on a mac host | 21:26 |
Norrin | from what MojoPikon, sounds like this mac image is for bare metal | 21:27 |
mojtaba | Hi, Does anybody know winconn? Is it the ultimate solution? or is there any better equivalent? | 21:27 |
Norrin | sure would be nice if it said all this on teh download page..... | 21:27 |
Bauer | I once followed some tutorial to install Java 64bit from Sun and not OpenJDK, but how do I remove it? I wanna try normal java again | 21:28 |
MojoPikon | norring: if you don't need the desktop, Ubuntu JeOS is better for vm's, as i've said. It is intended for virtual appliances. | 21:28 |
Norrin | vfw, why a mac image. if i know what's diff about it i can answer my own question | 21:28 |
Norrin | hence i started with "what's different about it?" | 21:28 |
vfw | Norrin: Simple: If you have a Mac, you use the Mac ISO. If you have a PC, you use the regular PC ISO. You have a Mac, so use the Mac ISO. | 21:28 |
Norrin | vfw, there's nothing simple about that. what's different in the image? | 21:28 |
vfw | Norrin: There are a lot of differences, (not just one). | 21:29 |
Norrin | notice, i didn't ask which one to use. what is teh difference? | 21:29 |
MojoPikon | Norrin: Drivers. kernel parameters and EFI files. Things like that. | 21:29 |
mojtaba | Hi, Does anybody know winconn? Is it the ultimate solution? or is there any better equivalent? | 21:29 |
Norrin | cool. so i'm goign with the standard image. | 21:30 |
Norrin | bare metal ish | 21:30 |

Norrin | vfw from your own link: "try your VM's support area. Running Ubuntu in a VM is completely different than running Ubuntu "on your Mac". " | 21:32 |
zykotick9 | jerry5: that's a security hole you're asking to open? i hope you can't! (that would let non-admin users shut off a machine) | 21:32 |

MojoPikon | Norin: yw =) | 21:37 |
Norrin | vfw, about the mac image being needed for macs in all situations | 21:37 |
Norrin | no that fn simple | 21:37 |
Bauer | zykotick9: well, it should be pretty standard procedure to remove 3rd party PPA stuff, no? | 21:37 |
Norrin | like i assumed | 21:38 |
MystaMax | Norrin: I'd just use the regular ubuntu image to install ubuntu inside a virtual machine. Only use the mac image on bare metal installs | 21:38 |
Norrin | MystaMax, yeah that's what i'm going with | 21:39 |
zykotick9 | Bauer: if it was from a PPA use ppa-purge (or something very similarly named!) | 21:39 |
zykotick9 | !ppa-purge | Bauer | 21:39 |

vfw | duelle: Nothing at all? Well, it shows the mac address, right? Is it only one line of output? (If not, how many?) | 21:50 |
duelle | vfw: I just meant that there is no more information. The other lines are displayed, but theres no contetn (6 lines) | 21:50 |

vfw | duelle: In other words, set the essid and the other settings as per your LAN netowrk configuration | 21:55 |
duelle | vfw: May it be a problem when the essid contains special characters (e.g. like the exclamation mark in "FRITZ!Box")? | 21:56 |

G55321 | hello guys! I wanted to upgrade my server to 12.04 from 10.04.4 and wanted to know if its safe | 22:14 |
duelle | vfw: 03:00.0 Network controller: Intel Corporation PRO/Wireless 3945ABG [Golan] Network Connection (rev 02) | 22:14 |
BabyCat | so key problem is I get internet connection for a few minutes then I have to turn off and on the connection to get it back and if I go to Eli the Computer Guy, the site that I'm trying to learn linux from, I end up having to restart the entire systm to get the internet back | 22:14 |
BabyCat | and I have to do this over and over again to keep the connection | 22:14 |
BabyCat | only difference, I moved.. but I updated the IP address on everything networking.. and it worked here fine for a few days and now this.. | 22:14 |
G55321 | currently server is in production running a Samba file server | 22:14 |
Bauer | MonkeyDust: it leades to http://www.ubuntu.com/management/features which is not quite the professional help I look for to get the VPN up and running... | 22:14 |
MonkeyDust | G55321 it's safe, or it would be useless | 22:14 |
daftykins | G55321: as safe as any upgrades in computing. back up and give it a try if you're sure you want to do it | 22:14 |
MonkeyDust | Bauer maybe contact Canonical, see below on the page | 22:15 |

BabyCat | sorry again chat master, Ubuntu kicked me off again, not sure what went through.. | 22:16 |
G55321 | oh yeah of course I have backup...but since its a file server I wouldn't want to restore a ~1tb backup :D | 22:16 |
vfw | duelle: How many kernels do you have? | 22:16 |
BabyCat | and of course, I lose response messages when Ubuntu loses the connection.. | 22:16 |
MonkeyDust | G55321 you can easily upgrade from LTS to LTS | 22:16 |
duelle | vfw: not sure, but I think 2-3 should be there | 22:17 |
daftykins | BabyCat: so you're typing from the affected PC? | 22:17 |
BabyCat | I'm a ubuntu only on my box.. | 22:17 |

MonkeyDust | BabyCat what makes you think you have a virus? | 22:18 |
duelle | 3.8.(0).23 seems to work for now | 22:19 |
BabyCat | reason I think it's a virus is because.. why does the networking get permanently harmed off a specific youtube (eli the computer guy) channel | 22:19 |
daftykins | lol. | 22:19 |
daftykins | MonkeyDust: oh you can totally have this one XD | 22:20 |
MonkeyDust | BabyCat i havent read anything anywhere about a virus, so it must be something else | 22:20 |
BabyCat | otherwise, all I have to do is restart the router.. there's a Mac and Windows computers running here too.. everyone enjoying their computers but me | 22:20 |
cheese1756 | Has anyone had any success with installing Ubuntu on a Vaio Pro? | 22:20 |
genii | Probably some horribly encoded video. | 22:20 |
daftykins | cheese1756: didn't those only just get announced? | 22:20 |
BabyCat | and also, everything worked fine with all my settings for 3 days here and suddenly stopped.. for no reason.. | 22:20 |
duelle | vfw: 3.8.0.23 works for now, but I am quite sceptic whether that is the point.. Sometimes it worked even with that kernel as far as i can remember | 22:20 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, Yes. Unfortunately, I can't find any documentation yet | 22:20 |
cheese1756 | But they're available | 22:20 |
BabyCat | and it started with Eli the Computer Guy Youtube page | 22:20 |
mmercer | BabyCat: have you watched the log messages to see whats going on when you lose your networking? | 22:21 |
mmercer | have you watched your ethtool and miitool statistics? | 22:21 |
mmercer | ( now granted, youre trying to learn linux, so its actually expected that you have no idea what im talking about ), but to jump to virus.... stop thinking youre on windows. ;) | 22:21 |
daftykins | cheese1756: i'd imagine you'll come up against the usual Secure Boot UEFI issues? | 22:21 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, That's one issue I found, yes | 22:22 |
cheese1756 | I'm tempted to just flip it into legacy BIOS mode | 22:22 |
EDocToor | I am backkkkkkkkk ,,,, hehe | 22:22 |
daftykins | cheese1756: are you trying 13.04 ? | 22:22 |
vfw | duelle: (I use LTS.) | 22:22 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, Yup | 22:22 |
subman | When trying to upgrade, I'm getting the following errors: http://pastebin.ca/2399035. I've tried apt-get -f install to fix and it just spits out these same errors. Is there a way to fix this? | 22:23 |
daftykins | cheese1756: are you attempting a dualboot or just nuking - presumably windows 8 - off of there? | 22:23 |
cheese1756 | Still, I just get a blank screen after the "Try Ubuntu" and "Install Ubuntu" menu | 22:23 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, Preferably nuking Windows 8 | 22:23 |
daftykins | cheese1756: has that laptop got graphics by nvidia or ATI? | 22:23 |
daftykins | s/ATI/AMD/ must get used to that renaming | 22:23 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, Nope, integrated Intel, which is a good sign | 22:23 |
cheese1756 | That's also what throws me off | 22:23 |
daftykins | cheese1756: tried booting with 'nomodeset' for fun? | 22:24 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, I will | 22:24 |
cheese1756 | That's a good call | 22:24 |
EDocToor | cheese1756, I also have a blank screen on one of my boxes after I installed standard Ubuntu.. I don't recall but.. I think I had to add noapic to the grub.. | 22:24 |
duelle | vfw: would you recommend to use a LTS server version? didn't know that there could be such problems (cuz it worked several versions before without any problems)? | 22:24 |
EDocToor | somehow | 22:25 |
vfw | yes | 22:25 |
tylerehome | Is there any way to get pulseaudio to output to a digital output continuously?

cheese1756 | Found a problem! "Secure boot forbids loading module" when running "help" in grub | 22:27 |
daftykins | tylerehome: i've had that issue for years :( unless you had something playing silence in the background constantly i can't see any way | 22:27 |
cheese1756 | I thought the Ubuntu images were signed? | 22:28 |
daftykins | cheese1756: oh so secure boot is somehow still enabled within your UEFI? | 22:28 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, I guess so. Time to fix that | 22:28 |
daftykins | cheese1756: tbh every UEFI implementation is buggy as anything i've noticed at the moment. i had to update a friends laptop BIOS just to let it boot its' own Windows version in EFI mode to reinstall it ¬_¬ | 22:28 |
EDocToor | Is there a Whatsmyip command from the command line or do I have to grep ifconfig | 22:28 |
daftykins | EDocToor: ifconfig *is* the whatsmyip command ;) | 22:28 |
EDocToor | daftykins, ok.. just wondering thanks | 22:29 |
cheese1756 | The USB stick is being accessed far more. This is promising | 22:30 |
daftykins | cheese1756: i'll cross my toes for ya | 22:30 |
cheese1756 | It's a load of BS that secureboot just fails silently, though, rather than giving a proper error for troubleshooting | 22:30 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, I appreciate that | 22:31 |
daftykins | ^_^ | 22:31 |
daftykins | cheese1756: well, you'd have to boot without 'quiet' from the menu to get proper debug | 22:31 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, I usually disable the splash anyway. I might restart and do that | 22:31 |
Magicarp | Is it possible to control the speed of a case fan via terminal? So I could put it at X RPM? | 22:32 |
daftykins | Magicarp: is your system too old to run it automatically based on temperature? | 22:34 |
cheese1756 | So, I got all the way to conflicting drivers between an EFI version and a non-EFI version. I'll just flip things to legacy BIOS | 22:34 |
cheese1756 | Let's see how this goes | 22:34 |
LeonIsNEw | okay so idk whatswrong with my new build | 22:35 |
LeonIsNEw | all of my stuff is powering up but nothing is posting | 22:35 |
LeonIsNEw | ubuntu does not even load and i dont even get a posting | 22:35 |
cheese1756 | LeonIsNEw, If there's no post, that doesn't sound like an Ubuntu problem | 22:35 |
LeonIsNEw | yeaqh i know but | 22:35 |
cheese1756 | Check your hardware. Maybe something is not connected properly? | 22:36 |
cheese1756 | Is this your first build? | 22:36 |
LeonIsNEw | \idk what i am suppose to do to make it post | 22:36 |
LeonIsNEw | and yes | 22:36 |
cheese1756 | LeonIsNEw, Confirm that all components are plugged in properly. Often, a cable being unplugged can really screw things up | 22:36 |
LeonIsNEw | i have everything plugged in right, all the fans turn on and the hdd spins and stuff | 22:37 |
LeonIsNEw | and i dont know how to chck if they are in all the right way | 22:37 |
Magicarp | Ask in #hardware | 22:37 |
LeonIsNEw | everything powers up but, nothing posts | 22:37 |
cheese1756 | So, I flipped to BIOS boot and that still froze. If I'm debugging something, I'd rather debug UEFI. Onto fixing those issues. | 22:38 |
daftykins | cheese1756: i know it's a ridiculous thought with such new hardware, but try looking on Sony's site for any BIOS updates anyway? | 22:39 |
daftykins | LeonIsNEw: ok the best advice i can give you for your first build that doesn't POST, is to reduce the hardware down to the very bare essentials, you follow? | 22:39 |
daftykins | LeonIsNEw: so you don't need any hard disks connected, no CD/DVD, just PSU into motherboard, CPU, RAM and graphics card if you have one. that's all | 22:40 |
LeonIsNEw | i have no cd and no hdd | 22:40 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, I don't believe there are any yet. Boot sticks at "fb: conflictnig fb hw usage inteldrmfb vs EFI VGA - removing generic driver" | 22:40 |
cheese1756 | That's where it freezes | 22:40 |
daftykins | cheese1756: hrmm, is that system using a Haswell CPU? | 22:41 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, Yup. Could it be a problem with the integrated graphics? | 22:41 |

cheese1756 | Let me see | 22:42 |
daftykins | cheese1756: can't say i'm knowledgable in kernel quirks, but i wouldn't put it past there being a surprise. Sony's tend to be mighty quirky to get alternate OS's on to begin with. if you're absolutely committed to getting 13.04 on there, perhaps a text mode installer disc image would be worth a go | 22:42 |
cheese1756 | daftykins, Believe me, I'm committed :) | 22:42 |
daftykins | hehehe | 22:43 |
cheese1756 | OK, so I set nomodeset and got farther, but still stuck at the SSD config. I think I need to set nolapic too | 22:45 |

cheese1756 | ditchwindows, Just go for 13.04 | 23:01 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | my first question is> why the hell does ubuntu try to install GRUB before installing the system itself??? | 23:01 |
cheese1756 | That should suit your needs | 23:01 |
cheese1756 | LUBUNTU-FAIL1, Because grub is required to boot anything | 23:02 |

Secnario one is using a laptop to browse the web, check email etc. Scenario 2 is using A remote desktop to do the same items on a server. Would using RDP use less bandwidth? My thoughts are that it would use less,. The email data etc is stored on theserver, and you are only seeing an image on th RDP. Is this correct thinking? | 23:03 |
G55321 | also some games are coming out with 100% ubuntu support, take bastion for example...you can even install it form the software center | 23:03 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | cheese1756: It is much smarter to install it after the system installation, for many reasons. Indeed, ubuntu always did this way, just as all the other distros | 23:03 |
daftykins | cheese1756: hahaha | 23:04 |
daftykins | LUBUNTU-FAIL1: the channel is for support, not for you to argue about how it should do things. do you have any real questions? | 23:04 |
cheese1756 | LUBUNTU-FAIL1, Oh, I thought you were new, but I can tell you know what you're talking about. Yeah, Gentoo also does grub install last, and Slackware does LILO. No idea why Ubuntu does it first | 23:04 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | but this time, with 13.04, something changed. or at least this is what I can see | 23:04 |
tylerehome | daftykins: I think I might actually have found a solution. Edit /etc/pulseaudio/client.conf, and set autospawn to no, then when you launch your DE fire off pulseaudio --start....it seems to stay up, even when no sound is being played | 23:05 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | cheese1756: ubuntu always did it after * at least until 12.04, the last version that I tried before the 13.04 | 23:05 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | anyway | 23:05 |
Integrated | i'm trying to install xubuntu to my hp pavilion dv1000, but it's saying i dont have the PAE kernel. is my comp not able to handle xubuntu? | 23:05 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | i explain why I'm asking this | 23:05 |
daftykins | tylerehome: interesting | 23:05 |
daftykins | tylerehome: you might want to test that multiple programs can still play at once | 23:06 |

mp19uy | Hi, Im trying to install dualboot (ubuntu & win8). I just finished installing ubuntu after windows but when I restarted it went straight to windows, no grub no nothing... Can you give me some advice to solve this? | 23:06 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | my grub installation {did at the beginning of lubuntu setup} failed. After just 30 seconds it started. This means that the system was still not installed | 23:07 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | now I would have tried to fix just the boot loader issue, If I just had the system installed | 23:07 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | but I don't | 23:07 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | anyway, the error message happened to other users before me | 23:08 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | as i googled much | 23:08 |
daftykins | mp19uy: you can either look up a guide on how to edit the Windows bootloader to point to GRUB to boot Ubuntu, or look up GRUB to find out how to reinstall it and make things work | 23:08 |
daftykins | !grub | mp19uy | 23:08 |
ubottu | mp19uy: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 23:08 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | "Failed to install grub-efi to /target/ the system will not boot" | 23:09 |
mp19uy | daftykins: Ok I will try to find something related to my problem there, thanks for the link. | 23:10 |
daftykins | mp19uy: np | 23:11 |

sere_ | LUBUNTU-FAIL1: what is your actaul boot error or what happends.. why cant you repair grub? | 23:12 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | sere_: there is no boot error, cause grub hadn't been installed | 23:12 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | i wanna be precise.. i **THINK** that I cannot repair grub because of what I've already explained up here | 23:13 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | installation has been too short, the grub error came very early | 23:13 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | so I don't ***THINK*** that it's installed | 23:14 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | anyway, how do you suggest to fix it {supposing that lubuntu has been installed correctly} | 23:14 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | ? | 23:14 |
sere_ | LUBUNTU-FAIL1: during your install at the bottom did you pick mount point to install grub and then change it.. if there was no grub being installed, it should have let you know.. anything is possible though | 23:15 |
LupusNoctis | Hmmm. Anyone know of a guide with the common hangups/problems of running 13.04 desktop inside VirutalBox? It seems it installed properly, but all I get is a black screen w/ mouse pointer after logging on. It shuts down properly, lets me enter password off C-A-D | 23:15 |
daftykins | LupusNoctis: running an up to date virtualbox? did you enable graphics acceleration on the guest? | 23:16 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | sere_: I haven't understood what you wrote, sorry | 23:17 |
LupusNoctis | It was downloaded today, 4.2.12, and it says 2d accel for windows guests only, but I've tried with both 3d on and off | 23:17 |
antibody | hey people. So when I have a video in fullscreen (nvidia-glx) either with totem or vlc I get the shadow of the top ubuntu desktop bar. (unity) how can I fix this? | 23:18 |
antibody | I can't find the bug | 23:18 |
melow01 | I'm trying to get audio working on an Ubuntu Server and I installed ALSA, do I need pulse too? | 23:19 |
gordonjcp | melow01: depends what you're trying to do | 23:19 |
=== sere_ is now known as LUBUNTU-WIN1 | ||
gordonjcp | melow01: pulse is great if you've got more than one app trying to play audio at once | 23:20 |
melow01 | gordonjcp, I'm trying to setup a streaming server to pull audio from a radio station via vlc and output the audio to the analog audio output | 23:20 |
gordonjcp | melow01: then you probably don't need pulse | 23:20 |
gordonjcp | keep it nice and simple | 23:20 |
LupusNoctis | Hmm, I can even switch to terminal mode, just the GUI/Desktop isn't displaying | 23:21 |
daftykins | LupusNoctis: have you tried dropping to a TTY and fully updating the guest? | 23:21 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | wtf | 23:21 |
melow01 | gordonjcp, that's what I thought but VLC is giving me an error about dbus | 23:21 |
melow01 | gordonjcp, dbus-daemon | 23:21 |
gordonjcp | melow01: that's something separate, I reckon | 23:21 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | LUBUNTU-WIN1: during the install I did manual partitioning. of course I chose the mount point for the root partition | 23:22 |
melow01 | gordonjcp, ok | 23:22 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | I don't understand what you mean with '' to install grub and then change it '' | 23:22 |
LupusNoctis | daftykins: Fully updating? the install purported to download and install updates. Forgive me, it's been a while: what's the CLI commands for running full updates? | 23:23 |
daftykins | LupusNoctis: fair enough, worth a go nonetheless 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 23:23 |
LUBUNTU-FAIL1 | please, someone, help me | 23:23 |
LupusNoctis | blerg. 0 counts updated, seems to have all the latest. | 23:25 |
LupusNoctis | perhaps I need to install the guest addons? | 23:25 |

daftykins | LupusNoctis: have you looked up virtualbox and 13.04 issues? | 23:26 |
SpaceManiac | Disk Usage Analyzer says my whole 120GB is full, but / is only taking 43GB - where's all that space gone? | 23:26 |
LupusNoctis | hard to limit the results to just 13.04 :) | 23:27 |
vfw | SpaceManiac: df | 23:27 |
LUBUNTU-WIN1 | LUBUNTU-FAIL1: when you installed lubuntu it should have giving you an option where you want to install grub /dev/bla /dev/bla1.. once when i chose a a destination to install grub and then changed it.. not sure what i did but grub wasnt being installed but it gave me an error letting me know this.. | 23:27 |
SpaceManiac | vfw: /dev/sda1 mounted on / is 100% full, so I guess it's not a mount issue? | 23:29 |
vfw | SpaceManiac: What size is /dev/sda1? | 23:30 |
SpaceManiac | vfw: 115217968 1K-blocks (~110G I think) | 23:30 |
LUBUNTU-WIN1 | LUBUNTU-FAIL1: vfw recommendations should fix your probablem but you mentioned your install was cut short.. if it didnt finish then i dont know | 23:31 |
vfw | SpaceManiac: sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit | 23:31 |

=== sandyd is now known as bellasbells | ||
sere | LUBUNTU-FAIL1: thats what happend to me too.. i never chose not to install it but still got that error saying i did.. it was odd | 23:35 |
subman | k1l, how to do that properly? | 23:35 |
ThothCastel | is a reboot needed after installation of openssh-server ? | 23:35 |
k1l | subman: look what kernels are in /boot . then remove the "linux-image-....." packages. but let at least one kernel in there :) | 23:36 |
sere | LUBUNTU-FAIL1: either way you should be able to install / repair it, as long as your install completed | 23:36 |
subman | k1l, but surely I cannot just delete them..... | 23:37 |
k1l | subman: ? | 23:37 |
daftykins | subman: pastebin 'ls /boot' and i'll show you how to clear up | 23:37 |
k1l | subman: dont delete the files in that folder. use apt-get (or softwarecenter etc) to remove the packages | 23:38 |
subman | k1l, like apt-get remove linux-image-x.x.x-xx-generic-pae, correct? | 23:38 |
k1l | subman: yes, that is how you remove old kernels | 23:39 |
subman | k1l, keeping in mind to retain the current kernel as shown in uname -r? | 23:39 |
vfw | SpaceManiac: df | pastebinit #Show us URL | 23:39 |

SpaceManiac | TeamViewer maybe, but I think it's out of date | 23:42 |

vfw | SpaceManiac: If you are collecting audio or vidoe files, you might look in those directores for large files that may need to be placed elsewhere. | 23:45 |
vfw | SpaceManiac: Maybe you are using streamripper or something like that? | 23:45 |
SpaceManiac | vfw: not that I'm aware of | 23:46 |
ThothCastel | what is NIS as compared to LDAP? | 23:47 |
SpaceManiac | "sort: write failed: /tmp/sortUrBu9S: No space left on device" joy | 23:47 |

vfw | SpaceManiac: Free up some space and try again. | 23:48 |

zykotick9 | ThothCastel: i'm under the impression, NIS is old-school unix directory management system... i've never used it, so i got no details. | 23:48 |
daftykins | Gamah: type out the full question plz | 23:48 |
ThothCastel | zykotick9: ok, thank you... have you used an LDAP? | 23:49 |
melow01 | I'm trying to find the analog output of my system, is lsmod the correct command? | 23:49 |
zykotick9 | ThothCastel: no, but that's the new-school in comparison ;) | 23:49 |

Gamah | i have a bash script that consists of a few thousand lines that look like this: wget subdomainx.somewebsite.com/charstring.jpg to see if i can pull down any of these that are actually JPG's. (i've determined the method for generating them and the subdomains they are hosted at) but obviously a fair number of them aren't actually there... the server then gives me a 302 redirect to the home page and wget downloads the html of that page an | 23:51 |
Gamah | i'd like to ignore and move on if there is no .jpg at the destination | 23:51 |
zykotick9 | ThothCastel: i've only ever used *nix on boxes i own, so i've never had a need for central user management in anyway (other then making sure my UIDs are the same across all boxes) good luck. | 23:51 |
daftykins | tylerehome: nice, where did you find that idea btw? | 23:52 |
