TheteDoes anyone know by chance how I would go about compiling an ethernet driver from source and getting ubuntu to use it?00:03
b14d3Hi 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
Thetenevermind, got it I think00:03
Tex_Nick!nomodeset | b14d300:07
ubottub14d3: 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 parameter00:07
b14d3Thanks Tex_Nick, but I actually have GRUB set up to boot nomodeset already00:08
Tex_Nickb14d3:  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
ShariffHi there00:11

Tex_Nickchannel guru's ^00:11
b14d3Fair 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
Thetehmm00:12
ShariffI'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

tgm4883Running 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
tgm4883This is on 13.0401:23
tgm4883Are there any other logs I should be looking at?01:24
asharasdeww: can't access the passwd file, maybe because my home is encryptfs?01:24
dewwasharas: well what are t he file permissions of your directory and that file?01:25
sethjtgm4883 : Does /var/log/wpa_supplicant.log exist?01:25
geniielisa87: 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-current01:26
tgm4883sethj, nope01:26
geniielisa87: Actually, the last command would be: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current  ...since it's installed, just not correctly01:27
asharasdeww: where can I put the htpasswd file? my home is encrypted and /root is unreachable to the apache user01:27
tgm4883sethj, 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
craigbass1976Anyone know why an ssh session to GoDaddy stays open fine, but an sshfs mount dies after a couple of minutes?01:28
dewwasharas: /var/www would be ok01:29
sethjtgm4883: Humm. OK. I suppose you're configuring your wireless through the network connections manager? (GUI method)01:29
tgm4883sethj, yes01:29
tgm4883sethj, it's WPA2 Enterprise01:29
dewwasharas: i dont think it's the encryption, but most likely the proper permissions. also you look into how to prevent people from  being able to read your password file.01:29

dewwasharas: 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
sethjtgm4883: Interesting. We're both using similar network cards and the same driver..01:34
EpoxxI 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
asharasdeww: should I chown my .htpasswd file? and then chmod it?01:36
craigbass1976Epoxx, kind of stupid, but have you disabled wifi with the Fn +whatever key combination?01:37
Epoxxits a desktop, so no01:37
geniiEpoxx: 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: ifconfig01:37
craigbass1976Epoxx, ah.  Wow, that's really weird then01:38
Epoxxits connected to my laptop using a network bridge (might be the culprit, although I used this often with windows)01:38
dewwasharas: 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 apache01:39
sethjtgm4883: Unfortunately I need to go. You might consider asking a question at askubuntu.com with the debugging details.01:39

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
max1IsaacLewis: okay thanks02:21
elisa87genii: no unfortunately not http://paste.ubuntu.com/5763389/02:22
geniielisa87: 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
elisa87ah ok that's alright02:22
max1I wish Ubuntu had more users than Mac OSx02:23
IsaacLewisAri-Yang: it says E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2)02:23
geniielisa87: 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-source02:23
elisa87yes genii and it was successfull without any error02:24

felixonmarshi, three of my ubuntu box suddenly got permission 754 for /etc, which made many services failed. i didn't do it myself and i didn't find anything else changed, no clue in auth.log etc02:42
winegoddessis there a good resource for setting up my ubuntu server for multiple domains?   tools, security, best practices?02:42
felixonmarswinegoddess: all domains owned by you?02:42
Sinful_PancakesHow would I go about installing Ubuntu from my hard drive?02:44
winegoddesshi felixonmars - yes. it is on a backspace server that i have02:44
winegoddessso, 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
felixonmarsuse something like cpanel?02:45
Sinful_PancakesHello02:46
Sinful_Pancakes?02:46
winegoddesshi 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_cgood 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
somsipDarkAceLaptop: doesn't sound good. I'd suggest downloading again02:50
felixonmarsDarkAceLaptop: i'll recommend a redownload02:50
winegoddessfelixonmars: of those do you have a preference? also any good sites for resources such as this?02:51
winegoddessother than wikipedia? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_web_hosting_control_panels02:51
felixonmarswinegoddess: not really, as im not running php sites :p they all have homepages and demos, if you gonna try02:51
winegoddesstrying 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
winegoddessI'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 setup02:53
winegoddessrather than individually02:53

fowl_hi i cant find out how to setup the keyboard hotkeys for a Gateway LT4009u02:55
fowl_anybody know02:55
felixonmarswinegoddess: no, you will just create & manage websites (incl. domains) on cpanel itself, if your server have cpanel installed02:55
winegoddessso it is more like a Web Host Manager (WHM) than a cpanel used for individual domains?02:56
felixonmarsmarcelomauro: you need your windows recovery disc to fix the boot record02:56
winegoddesssorry i only have used cpanel for one domain, not a server02:56
felixonmarswinegoddess: cpanel is multi-user program02:56
felixonmarswinegoddess: and it's fine if you want all your domains in one user02:57

winegoddessso 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?

winegoddessfelixonmars: thanks for that link - i did not know about this approach03:01
felixonmarswinegoddess: 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 cpanel03:01
felixonmarsDarkAceLaptop: just redownload the deb file and install the not corrupted one03:02
DarkAceLaptopyeah03:02

DarkAceLaptopare tar.gz files packages, or just compressed files that you don't install?03:02
DarkAceLaptopinstall like .deb files, that is03:03

KatronixHi 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
Katronixboink__ I'm assuming so it never asked03:16
boink__no idea then :)03:16
boink__i am noob :P03:16
boink__why is my ifconfig only showing lo and no eth0 ? clean install of 12.0403:17

Katronixboink__ would assume it doesn't see your nic03:17
boink__nic as in network information center?03:18
boink__a dns problem you mean?03:18
Katronixnic = network interface card03:18
boink__so updating the drivers of my NIC should do the trick?03:19

itsnotlupusOk, 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

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 to04:19
BabyCathave 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

KrisHansenSo 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

Jesse_VI 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 guess04:46
meatmanekJesse_V you're building your own .deb for it?04:47
Jesse_Vyeah meatmanek, I will but I need to get the naming right04:47
meatmanekso everything after the - is pretty much up to the distro maintainer04:47
Jesse_Vdh_make generates a changelog file, which has a version number in it04:48
meatmanekso the ubuntu project might have -0ubuntu104:48

histoSir-Litepool: sudo service mysql restart    then what were you doing when you get the sock error?04:51

Jesse_Vnot at the moment, I'd like to start with just my Launchpad PPA and work up from there04:53
theadminJesse_V: Launchpad takes care of building the packages itself04:54
Jesse_Vbut I need to upload .changes, so don't I have to build stuff to generate that?04:55
Jesse_Vmaybe I don't understand the procedures04:55
theadminJesse_V: ...Oh. Well... I thought... Uh. I'm not into Ubuntu development myself and Debian packaging is confusing04:55
theadminJesse_V: But I think Launchpad does building anyways04:55
Jesse_Vit does04:55
Jesse_Vwith 40,000 packages you'd think there'd be clear instructions instead of a steep learning curve04:56
Jesse_Vbut 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_Vmaintained only by me, and which does not exist in Debian or Ubuntu?04:57
theadminJesse_V: Normally, ppa packages have stuff like 0ppa1 in the name, not 0jessev104:58
Jesse_Vok, so if my ppa was named "testing", then I'd replace "jessev" with "testing"?04:58
theadminJesse_V: No, no, literally the string "ppa"04:59
Jesse_Vwhat?04:59
Jesse_V"derp-0.05-ppa"?04:59
Jesse_Veven with "ppa:jvictors/testing" as my PPA path?05:00

histodrhester7: depends on the "modifications" you are speaking of on how difficult it will be for you.05:04
drhester7histo: 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_Vdrhester7: you can fix that in Ubuntu. Or you can switch to Linux Mint, which has that by default, and which is based on Ubuntu05:06

drhester7histo: part of  this process is so that I can gain experience in computers all around05:08
theadmindrhester7: 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 panel05:08
Jesse_Vtheadmin: well Mint isn't supported by Ubuntu, it's supported by the Mint team, so it is technically supported by them05:08

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
we6jboI have a question06:24
histoanders__: format06:24
histo!ask | we6jbo06:24
anders__Thank you!06:24
ubottuwe6jbo: 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 !patience06:24
JennyBlueBirdanders__, you can probably keep your user settings if you got them on a separate partition, but the entire system, including all programs, must be reinstalled06:25
we6jboI 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 command06:25
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo,   if I'm not mistaken && will do that06:25
anders__we6jbo: I think && would work.06:25
we6jboAt later times though06:25
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo,    i.e  firefox && echo "firefox has finished"06:26
JennyBlueBirdprogram 1 && sleep <lots of time> && program 206:26
we6jboLike 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 one06:27
we6jbojust using wget as an example06:27
F_XZwe6jbo: you can try run wget files from a list.06:27
JennyBlueBirdwget 1 && sleep <5 minutes> && wget 206:27
we6jboyeah but i would have already done wget 1 and then hit enter06:28
we6jbolets say it takes 30min to download that file06:28
histowe6jbo: well wget can use file lists06:28
anders__we6jbo: Couldn't you just open a new terminal tab/window?06:28
histowe6jbo: you can add your links to a text file called lets say filelist  and then wget -i filelist06:29
we6jboyeah06:29
=== NK`_ is now known as NK`
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo, you basically want a command that checks if another process is running and start if it has finished ?06:29
histowe6jbo: or just wget file1 && wget file206:29
we6jbothat would work06:29
histowe6jbo: using && waits for the first command to finish successfully before starting the next06:29
we6jboI like JennyBlueBird 's idea06:30
we6jboI dont know how to do that though06:30
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo, it depends what you want to do tbh06:30
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo, what exactky is the issue with && ?06:30
JennyBlueBirdit seems to do what you want06:30
we6jbocause I would have already entered the command06:30
we6jboI dont know maybe I'm over thinking it06:31
JennyBlueBirdwhy can't you enter the two comands at the same time ?06:31
we6jbothe webmaster gets mad06:31
histowe6jbo: you can use the at command to schedule something to be done06:31
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo, huh? how would he know ?06:31
we6jboYeah I was thinking using at but I'd need the first command to finish though06:32
histowe6jbo: at 4:30pm cat /your/mom06:32
histowe6jbo: then write a script to monitor the pid of the first command06:32
we6jboyeah that would be good06:32
we6jbohere I'll get one of his emails06:32
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo, && does not execute the comands simulatenously. It executes the first one, and then runs the second if the first one finishes with a successful termination06:32
we6jbook here's one. He basically says that I'm downloading too much stuff and it's costing him money06:33
histowe6jbo: if you just want to run one command after another regardless of the first one use somecommand ; someothercommand06:33
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo, so if you want to wait a little between two commands, just do:   wget file1 &&  wait <time>  && wget file206:33
aeon-ltdwe6jbo: what is it hosting?06:34
we6jboYeah I do that for now but sometimes I like to wget the command then wait awhile and I might decided to wget something else06:34
we6jboI think it's on his own server06:34
SuperLaghisto: 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
histoSuperLag: No idea why do you need gparted since you used gdisk?06:34
RazLaptopAnyone here buy ZaReason servers before? It shipped with a login and I have no idea what the password or login is06:34
we6jboI might try the at and the pid06:35
we6jbothat might work06:35
SuperLaghisto: I *just* got gdisk. Tried gparted the very first time around.06:35
wheatthinRazLaptop, I dont think that's an ubuntu question06:35
SuperLaghisto: s/Tried/Used06:35
we6jbook 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
JennyBlueBirdwe6jbo, if you have some foresight you might run wget file1 && ./bashscript06:36
JennyBlueBirdthen just change ./bashscript if you want to do some more stuff06:36
JennyBlueBirdor use ; instead of &&06:37

somsipTKing: just a thought. Might not be the best idea...09:50
theadmincloneG: 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
theadmincloneG: Generally, it's too much bother to set up manually. I'm using noip and can't complain, works perfectly09:52
Tripwire292cloneG, 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 isp09:52

ActionParsnipName141: yes, there is adobe flash in the repos, or pepper flash in Chrome :)09:58
TKingsomsip sorry i dont know where error logs are saved09:58
TKingcan u tell me please09:58
somsipTKing: /var/logs09:58
somsipTKing: probably /var/log/auth.log if you have login problems. But maybe best to look around a bit if it's your first time in there. Get a feel for it09:59
Name141ActionParsnip: I got a new machine with windows 8 and it went to killing my bandwidth, just like it did these people http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r27866690-HN9000-Something-on-new-computer-is-draining-my-bandwidth-fast .  Since they don't like Windows 8 , I might can get them to make the swap if Yahoo messenger is native ?09:59
cloneGokay so no-ip or dyndns will do the trick...any other firm?10:00
theadminName141: There are tons of clients for Yahoo. Empathy (built into Ubuntu) has Yahoo support10:00
Name141theadmin; yeah but usually lack all the features10:00
Name141(camera)10:00
cloneGwhich is the more comfortable gui interface...menu app and so?10:00
theadminName141: Hm, I think Jitsi has support for webcam chats over Yahoo10:00
Tripwire292cloneG, you could also go get a domain from a registrar10:01
Tripwire292its basically the same thing, tell it your external ip10:01
theadminName141: 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 matter10:01
zoraelNothing conclusive emerged from the musings of a rolling flavor, I gather?10:01
Tripwire292cloneG, i use www.namecheap.com10:02
Tripwire292its good10:02
theadminzorael: 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 guess10:02

Tripwire292antwort, are you trying to do updates?10:05
antworti don't want to update my disti10:05
Tripwire292antwort, just a single package?10:06
TKingsomsip 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 screen10:06
TKingso it is a loop of login screen10:06
antwortyes only a single10:06
theadminantwort: 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
antwortbut it depends10:06
somsipTKing: this is the same thing you had the other day still? It was you wasn't it?10:06
antwortinstall curl depends on libcurl10:07
antwortso it woun't work10:07
theadminantwort: Well, again, search for a ppa or in the worst case build it yourself from source.10:07
TKingsomsip 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 directory10:08
TKingsomsip 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 more10:09
somsipTKing: 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
Ben64TKing: don't do sudo nautilus10:10
TKingsomsip how do i tidy up? i have already remove the folders from /home i mean root boot etc folders that were created in /home10:12
theadminTKing: 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 yours10:13
cloneGTripwire292 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

TKingtheadmin i only saw .gnome2 and .config no such dir as .gnome ?. but i saw .compiz, .gconf and .gnome2_private should i remove any of this?10:25
theadminTKing: Hm, probably do want to get rid of .gconf and .gnome2_private, yeah10:25
theadminTKing: Dunno about .compiz10:25
mat619My 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. Is that possible without declaring the monitoring box as a gateway for both the router and the device behind?10:25

Tripwire292mat619, 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, etc10:36

dhs227e.g. to confirm /usr/bin will be used rather than /usr/local/bin12:41
ActionParsnipdhs227: it will be the file structure in the files, you can extract the deb if you want, then extract data.tar.gz12:42
ActionParsnipdhs227: most debs add a launcher12:42
dhs227a launcher? like a initial script?12:42
ActionParsnipdhs227: like a binary, that goes in /usr/bin  it should also make a launcher in /usr/share/applications like your other apps12:43
ActionParsnipdhs227: it may not though12:43
dhs227what tool I can use to look into .deb? preferably in shell.12:43
ActionParsnipdhs227: ar x filename.deb12:43
ActionParsnipdhs227: then extract the data archive12:44

SteveBellor more like fsck.ext2 -c ?13:57
bgardnerSteveBell: Those actually work out to be the same thing13:57
SteveBellbut since I saw all that messy output from the e2fsck wouldn't a re-format be appropriate?13:58
bgardnerSteveBell: 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
b14d3bgardner: 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
SteveBellbgardner: so I'd reformat maybe to ext4 then do fsck.ext4 -c -w ?13:59

mopis there a way to install directly from a ppa without having to add it?15:37
mopso I don't even have to update15:37
mop:P15:37
MonkeyDustmop  a ppa is a source, so you have to add it first15:37
Picimop: You can download .deb files directly, but without knowing what exactly the dependencies are and if they require new versions that are only on the PPA, its really not a good idea.15:38

newokcurrent,i'm just use browsing and chat, what are port that they use?19:56
newokbrowsing =  port?   ,chat = port ?19:57
OerHeksnewok, freenode uses port 8001 in Xchat, in stead of the standard 666719:57
=== jinie_ is now known as jinie
OerHeksnewok webchat uses port 80 i think19:58
newokoerheks,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
OerHeksnewok yes20:00
mmercerwhats the best guide for learning how to build packages on ubuntu ?20:01
lotuspsychje!build | mmercer20:02
ubottummercer: 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
newokoerheks 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
OerHeksnewok, as webchat uses port 80, you need nothing to do20:03
newokwhat port we must close to deny another computer access our file in disk?20:06
newokoerheks thxx.20:06
newokis that true if we close ftp port?20:07
theadminnewok: Uh, no other computer will be able to access your filesystem unless you have some file sharing service running20:07
theadminnewok: If you have an FTP daemon running, then it makes no sense to close the port. Simply shutdown the daemon.20:07
lotuspsychjei 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
mmercerlotuspsychje: 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
mmercerie, if you put checkinstall .debs in a ppa, how reliable are they consisdered by the ubuntu community20:09
DJonesmmercer: Pretty much the same, they're not considered suitable for uploading to a ppa20:10
MonkeyDustie, ppa's are not (always) supported by the community20:10
newoktheadmin thx.  but when i'm idle no do anything, why in system monitor-resources-network history in sending value is active??20:10
DJonesmmercer: 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
theadminnewok: ...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 matter20:11
theadminnewok: You can use netstat to determine if something strange's going on, but is highly unlikely. Ubuntu's quite secure.20:11
MonkeyDustmmercer  anyone could make any custom ppa, the community cannot suport all of them20:11
theadminmmercer: 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
newoktheadmin ok,thx, i will try learning it,.20:13
tgm4883theadmin, I think that is only the case for software that is being sold for profit20:13
mmercerMonkeyDust: 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 > lotuspsychje20:14
ubottulotuspsychje, please see my private message20:14

lotuspsychje:p20:15
tgm4883theadmin, actually, no you can't do free applications anymore via d.u.c until they roll out the new upload process20:16
mmercertheadmin: 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 systems20:16
tgm4883theadmin, "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

mmerceranyone happen to know what package provides -lkvm under ubuntu ?21:21
* mmercer has tried to find libkvm via apt-cache, auto-apt, apt-file... and is failing21:22
zykotick9Norrin: one is for PCs, the other is for Macs...  ahhh, i'm not sure they can make that clearer...21:22
Norrinzykotick9, there has never been such a distinction before.  so why now?21:22
Norrinin short, what's teh difference?21:22
vfwNorrin: What do you mean?  There has always been a difference.21:23
Norrinnever seen a mac ubuntu image before21:23
MojoPikonNorrin: Mac computers have special requirements for booting ISO images, so they add some tweaks for they to boot Ubuntu correctly.21:23
NorrinMojoPikon, it's meant to run on bare metal or something?21:24
MystaMaxwow21:24
NorrinMojoPikon, any idea which is best for a vm?21:24
vfwNorrin: I do not think anyone understands what you are really trying to find out.  What exactly do you want to do?21:24
Norrinwhat. is. the. difference?21:25
mojtabaHi, Does anybody know winconn?21:25
Norrin"it says mac" is not sufficient21:25
alanwevansanyone ever run into a problem where resolvconf isn't updating /etc/resolv.conf on boot, but manually ifdown/ifup an interface updates it just fine21:25
mojtabaIs it the ultimate solution? or is there any better equivalent?21:25
vfwNorrin: You want to know what the differences between the Mac ISO and the PC ISO?21:25
Norringiven i always installed the basic image before no problems.   so why all of a sudden a mac image?21:25
Norrinvfw, yes21:26
MojoPikonnorrin: 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.html21:26
sam113101I wish I had a mac21:26
vfwNorrin: Let us ask you this question:  Do you have a Mac or a PC (that you want to install Ubuntu on)?21:26
Norrinvfw, "on" is relative.  i'm installing in a vm on a mac host21:26
Norrinfrom what MojoPikon, sounds like this mac image is for bare metal21:27
mojtabaHi, Does anybody know winconn? Is it the ultimate solution? or is there any better equivalent?21:27
Norrinsure would be nice if it said all this on teh download page.....21:27
BauerI once followed some tutorial to install Java 64bit from Sun and not OpenJDK, but how do I remove it? I wanna try normal java again21:28
MojoPikonnorring: 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
Norrinvfw, why a mac image.   if i know what's diff about it i can answer my own question21:28
Norrinhence i started with "what's different about it?"21:28
vfwNorrin: 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
Norrinvfw, there's nothing simple about that.  what's different in the image?21:28
vfwNorrin: There are a lot of differences, (not just one).21:29
Norrinnotice,  i didn't ask which one to use.   what is teh difference?21:29
MojoPikonNorrin: Drivers. kernel parameters and EFI files. Things like that.21:29
mojtabaHi, Does anybody know winconn? Is it the ultimate solution? or is there any better equivalent?21:29
Norrincool.  so i'm goign with the standard image.21:30

NvveenCan anyone tell me how to install the kernel images without installing grub2 (I removed it)?21:32
Norrinvfw 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
zykotick9jerry5: 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

Bauerzykotick9: well, it should be pretty standard procedure to remove 3rd party PPA stuff, no?21:37
Norrinlike i assumed21:38
MystaMaxNorrin: I'd just use the regular ubuntu image to install ubuntu inside a virtual machine. Only use the mac image on bare metal installs21:38
NorrinMystaMax, yeah that's what i'm going with21:39
zykotick9Bauer: if it was from a PPA use ppa-purge (or something very similarly named!)21:39

cheese1756That's a good call22:24
EDocToorcheese1756, 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
duellevfw: 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

tylerehomeIs there any way to get pulseaudio to output to a digital output continuously? I'm playing via SP/DIF and it seems to be dropping the transport stream when nothing is using sound...which is annoying as it then takes several seconds for my receiver to realize there is sound again when I paly something22:25
duellevfw: ok, thanks a lot for your help! Then I'll get a lts version and give it a try :)22:25

MystaMaxduelle: what about booting off a live cd image of 13.04 (or 12.04) and seeing if its works there? you can test everything without messing anything up22:26
cheese1756Found a problem! "Secure boot forbids loading module" when running "help" in grub22:27
daftykinstylerehome: i've had that issue for years :( unless you had something playing silence in the background constantly i can't see any way22:27
cheese1756I thought the Ubuntu images were signed?22:28
daftykinscheese1756: oh so secure boot is somehow still enabled within your UEFI?22:28
cheese1756daftykins, I guess so. Time to fix that22:28
daftykinscheese1756: 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
EDocToorIs there a Whatsmyip command from the command line or do I have to grep ifconfig22:28
daftykinsEDocToor: ifconfig *is* the whatsmyip command ;)22:28
EDocToordaftykins, ok.. just wondering thanks22:29
cheese1756The USB stick is being accessed far more. This is promising22:30
daftykinscheese1756: i'll cross my toes for ya22:30
cheese1756It's a load of BS that secureboot just fails silently, though, rather than giving a proper error for troubleshooting22:30
cheese1756daftykins, I appreciate that22:31
daftykins^_^22:31
daftykinscheese1756: well, you'd have to boot without 'quiet' from the menu to get proper debug22:31
cheese1756daftykins, I usually disable the splash anyway. I might restart and do that22:31
MagicarpIs it possible to control the speed of a case fan via terminal? So I could put it at X RPM?22:32
daftykinsMagicarp: is your system too old to run it automatically based on temperature?22:34
cheese1756So, I got all the way to conflicting drivers between an EFI version and a non-EFI version. I'll just flip things to legacy BIOS22:34
cheese1756Let's see how this goes22:34
LeonIsNEwokay so idk whatswrong with my new build22:35
LeonIsNEwall of my stuff is powering up but nothing is posting22:35
LeonIsNEwubuntu does not even load and i dont even get a posting22:35
cheese1756LeonIsNEw, If there's no post, that doesn't sound like an Ubuntu problem22:35
LeonIsNEwyeaqh i know but22:35
cheese1756Check your hardware. Maybe something is not connected properly?22:36
cheese1756Is this your first build?22:36
LeonIsNEw\idk what i am suppose to do to make it post22:36
LeonIsNEwand yes22:36
cheese1756LeonIsNEw, Confirm that all components are plugged in properly. Often, a cable being unplugged can really screw things up22:36
LeonIsNEwi have everything plugged in right, all the fans turn on and the hdd spins and stuff22:37
LeonIsNEwand i dont know how to chck if they are in all the right way22:37
MagicarpAsk in #hardware22:37
LeonIsNEweverything powers up but, nothing posts22:37
cheese1756So, 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
daftykinscheese1756: 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
daftykinsLeonIsNEw: 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
daftykinsLeonIsNEw: 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 all22:40
LeonIsNEwi have no cd and no hdd22:40
cheese1756daftykins, 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
cheese1756That's where it freezes22:40
daftykinscheese1756: hrmm, is that system using a Haswell CPU?22:41

daftykinscheese1756: 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 go22:42
cheese1756daftykins, Believe me, I'm committed :)22:42

LUBUNTU-FAIL1my first question is> why the hell does ubuntu try to install GRUB before installing the system itself???23:01
cheese1756That should suit your needs23:01
cheese1756LUBUNTU-FAIL1, Because grub is required to boot anything23:02

bjrohanA topic I don't know where to ask, so I will try here. 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
G55321also some games are coming out with 100% ubuntu support, take bastion for example...you can even install it form the software center23:03
LUBUNTU-FAIL1cheese1756: 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 distros23:03
daftykinscheese1756: hahaha23:04
daftykinsLUBUNTU-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
cheese1756LUBUNTU-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 first23:04
LUBUNTU-FAIL1but this time, with 13.04, something changed. or at least this is what I can see23:04
tylerehomedaftykins: 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 played23:05
