| neibors | Hi all | 00:31 |
| neibors | I'm installed ubuntu studio 12.04. What the password for root? | 00:31 |
| goyan124 | hello | 00:32 |
| veryhappy | hey guys where do i have to go with jackd? | 00:33 |
| reisio | veryhappy: hrmm? | 00:33 |
| goyan124 | how do i install windows xp iso from ubuntu. unetbootin doesn't work | 00:34 |
| daftykins | neibors: root doesn't have a password | 00:34 |
| daftykins | goyan124: write it to a CD/DVD | 00:34 |
| veryhappy | reisio: i mean when i have problem with the audio server jackd where do i have to go? | 00:34 |
| goyan124 | daftykins i don't have cd | 00:34 |
| goyan124 | or disk drive | 00:34 |
| reisio | veryhappy: you could start here | 00:34 |
| neibors | rly? Hmm... | 00:35 |
| reisio | veryhappy: or send /msg alis list *jack* and look for the highest number | 00:35 |
| reisio | (which is #jack) | 00:35 |
| daftykins | goyan124: got a flash drive spare? | 00:35 |
| goyan124 | daftykins yes i have usb cards | 00:35 |
| veryhappy | reisio: ok thank you, i'll first start here | 00:35 |
| goyan124 | daftykins flash drive | 00:35 |
| reisio | veryhappy: you can also find the website for the project, and search it like so: http://www.google.com/search?q="irc" site%3Ajackaudio.org | 00:36 |
| daftykins | goyan124: actually you're not going to be able to do it unless you have a windows system to prepare the flash drive in the first place. you either need to write a CD or use a windows system, you can't install it from ubuntu | 00:36 |
| veryhappy | reisio: yea thanks dude, i wanna try here first | 00:36 |
| veryhappy | ;) | 00:36 |
| benzrf | daftykins: that's BS | 00:36 |
| reisio | well, all roads point to #jack | 00:36 |

| benzrf | there are plenty of utilites that work on buntu | 00:36 |
| reisio | but perhaps not the next :) | 00:36 |
| goyan124 | daftykins what program to use for xp iso to install in a fash drive? | 00:37 |
| goyan124 | flash* | 00:37 |
| veryhappy | it's really hard for me to get jackd running how it is supposed to work but when i have to stop jackd i don't get it running anymore that good how can i completely get a process to stop completely when i need to restart it | 00:37 |
| neibors | I try enter in root without password- Error(password) | 00:37 |
| daftykins | benzrf: you're familiar with how XP installs yes? after copying files it needs to know the original mountpoint to see the flash drive as the install media again. this usually requires much scripting | 00:37 |

| ubottu | neibors: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 00:38 |

| Charmlet | daftykins: do I just keep pressing try each time I use it? | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | Charmlet, you can do a 'full' normal install to a usb flash if you wanted.. or this sort of old guide suggests removeing the 'ubiquity' package | 01:01 |
| Dr_willis | http://askubuntu.com/questions/7429/remove-welcome-screen-from-live-usb | 01:02 |
| daftykins | Charmlet: i sort of expected it to not show the menu anymore when done right, not sure | 01:02 |
| Charmlet | So the pendrivelinux wasn't the right install? | 01:02 |
| Charmlet | I probably screwed up somewhere. | 01:02 |
| Dr_willis | Charmlet, depends on what you want. | 01:03 |
| Charmlet | I want it to be bootable and useable from the USB | 01:03 |
| Charmlet | but not for super intensive stuff, or anything installed. | 01:03 |
| Dr_willis | you CAN do a FULL normal install to usb flash.. that URL posted says you shouldent.. but the guy gives very little reason why.. and ive ran such a setup for Months and months | 01:03 |
| Dr_willis | OR you can use a Live-usb setup. but thats more for testing/light ussage | 01:04 |
| Charmlet | so how do I do the full install? full disclosure - it's an 8 gb HD, i'd run it on 4GB of ram, and I have no CD drive. | 01:04 |
| Dr_willis | and the guide suggest removeing the 'ubiquity' package from a live-usb install will disable that screen | 01:04 |
| Dr_willis | Install to USB same as you would a internal HD. partion, put grub on its mbr and so forth | 01:04 |
| Dr_willis | but 8gb is a little small. | 01:04 |

| Deformative | Anyone have any ideas? | 01:05 |

| Dr_willis | Charmlet, then TRY what that guide suggested.. remove the Ubiquity package via the apt-get command it says. it might disable that screen.. or just keep clicking try... | 01:07 |

| gavilan2 | Does linux uses a swap drive or something like virtual memory by default? I'm running it on an SSD, so I don't want to have any such things that make a lot of writes to the SSD | 01:57 |
| daftykins | yeah it create a swap partition usually | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | if it even uses the swap at all. ;) | 01:57 |
| daftykins | if you manually partition and avoid making one, or put it on a mechanical HDD, all will be well | 01:57 |
| Dr_willis | I think people tend to worry way to much about swap writes. but i got 8gb of ram - and rarely see swap used. | 01:58 |
| daftykins | sure, you do - but not everyone has the same hardware | 01:58 |
| Dr_willis | askubuntu.com had some tweak guides on ssds also. | 01:59 |
| Dr_willis | gavilan2, and your ram amount is what exactly? | 01:59 |
| gavilan2 | Dr_willis: 1 GB... I only use firefox usually... | 02:00 |
| === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk | ||
| daftykins | with a billion tabs? | 02:01 |
| Dr_willis | so.. you spent money on a ssd, instead of more ram? ;) | 02:01 |
| === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 | ||
| crazycory22 | hello all | 02:01 |
| * Tex_Nick went CRAZY on this box with 16Gb of ram ... i doubt i'll ever use more than about 6Gb ... I am running an APU though ...integrated GPU shares sys ram | 02:02 | |
| gavilan2 | daftykins: 10 tabs at the most.... | 02:03 |
| gavilan2 | Dr_willis: My linux is a VM... The host PC has 16 GB.... I could put more ram into it, but I don't think I need it... | 02:03 |
| Dr_willis | gavilan2, so you are worried about a virtual swap partition? thats on a real ssd? | 02:04 |
| Dr_willis | in a virtual hard drive. ;) | 02:04 |
| gavilan2 | Dr_willis: I don't want to send many writes to the SSD... | 02:06 |
| === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk | ||
| Dr_willis | makes me wonder what this DigitalOcean VPS is doing.. they say they are using all SSD's and i had a swap partition on them | 02:06 |
| daftykins | gavilan2: is the SSD the only storage in the system? | 02:06 |
| === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 | ||
| gavilan2 | daftykins: I have some HDDs too, but the VM runs from the SSD.... | 02:07 |
| Dr_willis | may be best to monitor how much the VM is swapping.. and if its doing it a lot.. increase its ram. | 02:07 |
| daftykins | gavilan2: just turn the swap off / reinstall without one | 02:08 |
| Dr_willis | or setup a 2nd virtual disk for the vm thats not on a ssd just for its swap partion/drive. but that may be overkill. | 02:08 |
| crazycory22 | ok you guys would be the ones to ask i'm assuming. i just installed Linux Mint. And I am using xchat-gnome. Is there a better irc client? | 02:09 |
| Dr_willis | crazycory22, just 'xchat' or 'weechat' and Mint has its own support channels... | 02:09 |
| SuperLag | Tex_Nick: I thought 16GB was crazy in my MacBook Pro. Now on this ThinkPad, I've got 32GB of RAM. It's amazing. | 02:09 |
| === sergio_ is now known as Guest4030 | ||
| SuperLag | Tex_Nick: and you'll use all 16GB of that, easily. From the *nix perspective... unused RAM is wasted RAM, so it'll use everything available. | 02:10 |

| Dr_willis | !java | 02:11 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 02:11 |

| Tex_Nick | SuperLag : lol ... hey man ... hey if you can afford it, Go For IT ;-) ... i use ffmpeg & handbrake for video transcoding sometimes ... with threads set to 4 ( i have a 4 core APU ) those apps will run all 4 cores at 100% ... the ram never exceeds about 6Gb though ... hey how you like that thinkpad ? | 02:14 |
| nevyn | Tex_Nick: how are you measuring your ram usage? | 02:15 |
| SuperLag | Tex_Nick: love it. I've got the W530, and everything works. Just set up the fingerprint thing yesterday. Now when the screensaver comes on, I swipe my index finger and it logs me in. | 02:15 |

| Tex_Nick | SuperLag ... measuring ram ussage with system monitor ... is there a more efficient way ??? | 02:16 |
| SuperLag | Tex_Nick: I most often just look at "top". | 02:17 |
| franck_ | hi :) | 02:17 |
| SuperLag | Tex_Nick: there are other ways, but top is sufficient for my usage | 02:17 |
| Tex_Nick | SuperLag ... jeeze that sounds super cool ... i might consider one of those in the n ear future | 02:17 |
| SuperLag | Tex_Nick: 2 regular 2.5" drives for 2 of them, and the third is an mSATA card. | 02:18 |

| lotuspsychje | Austneal: its best to ask specific errors in channel, so others might help you as good as they can | 03:58 |
| lotuspsychje | Austneal: maybe #ubuntu-server guys might also know your issue | 03:59 |
| Austneal | ah, thanks. I'll go check there | 03:59 |
| somsip | tarwich: have you checked to see what inetd does? You may have xinetd installed instead. Maybe zabbix just has a defaulkt config that needs changing to check for the other | 04:00 |
| tarwich | somsip: Yeah. It looks like inetd is a connection broker that listens for connection on behalf of other processes so that it can be managed better. And this is the default config. Some things are wrong. Didn't know about xinetd (checking…) | 04:01 |
| * lotuspsychje is off to work..bah | 04:01 | |
| somsip | tarwich: I just did something that replace inetd with xinted and got concerned, but it seems to be the flashier version. Either way, check what zabbix is looking for | 04:02 |
| switching | so i just installed GNOME 3 in ubuntu and it worked well when I log into GNOME, but now when I switch back to unity the fonts are different and the close buttons are on the right. What do I do? | 04:03 |
| tarwich | somsip: Well xinetd doesn't appear to be on the system. I just wanted to know if I can remove the check from my monitors. The ports are all open just fine, and I don't know how much inetd would 'help'. I'll google more and see if I can find out what process to look for and in the meantime I'll remove inetd from the monitor. | 04:03 |

| Zelbinian | So, I have a question, but I'm not sure where to start.... basically, my Windows 7 registry ate itself this morning. Tried to install Mint a couple times... that was just not working out at all, couldn't even boot. And now right away things have been a little quirky in Ubunutu. How do I go about checking if I have hardware/driver issues? | 05:27 |

| k1l_ | MathCubes: ubuntu already should ship and use the right driver | 05:29 |
| MathCubes | well it is not because I can't play any games | 05:30 |
| k1l_ | with steam? | 05:30 |
| nightfly | you might be expecting too much of your gpu | 05:30 |
| MathCubes | that I got 100 fps under winblows with ubuntu i got 2 or 3 fps | 05:30 |
| MathCubes | humm sounds to me it is the diver | 05:31 |
| Tex_Nick | Zelbinian: your problems with the Win 7 registry & Ubuntu Mint would be NOT at all related ... almost sounds like you have a hardware issue | 05:32 |

| wauf | Need advice. I have a usb drive which accidentally got targed by tool to make a bootable usb drive. The drive was 500gb. Now the drive reads 1.2gb. I need to recover the data. whats the best tool for this job? | 05:33 |
| sere | MathCubes: sudo apt-get install i965-va-driver | 05:34 |
| MathCubes | @sere i965-va-driver is already the newest version. The following packages were automatically installed and are no longer required: lib32asound2 lib32z1 libc6-i386 Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove them. 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 23 not upgraded. | 05:35 |

| MathCubes | okay I want to play some games I get better fps on my netbook then on here. 8 gb of ram... | 05:37 |
| sere | MathCubes: how can you play videos? have you done any benchmark test? | 05:37 |
| MathCubes | just fine for 480 p | 05:37 |
| MathCubes | and 720 p some what if it isn't game like | 05:37 |
| sere | MathCubes: are you trying to play steam games? | 05:37 |

| sere | MathCubes: well if 720p is giving you trouble then i would say its software / driver issue | 05:38 |
| MathCubes | I know it is since with a game like Xonotic I get 3 or 4 fps on Windows like 60 or more fps | 05:39 |
| MathCubes | @Sere I know it is since with a game like Xonotic I get 3 or 4 fps on Windows like 60 or more fps | 05:40 |
| MathCubes | @sere I get just fine fps until 3 min into the game and them it drop down to 3 fps or so | 05:41 |
| sere | MathCubes: that it strange.. especially if it works for three minutes.. did you check your /var/log/ maybe something stopped working? | 05:43 |
| Tex_Nick | MathCubes: don't know what distro or dersktop enviornment you're running ... if you can access "System Testing" it will provide a lot of info ... WARNING it can take a lot of time to run | 05:43 |
| MathCubes | even on openbox | 05:43 |
| MathCubes | @Tex_Nick How do i do that? | 05:44 |
| tr0n | sjd_zeus: dont irc as root | 05:45 |
| Tex_Nick | MathCubes : for my enviornment it's in "System Tools/Administration/System Testing" | 05:46 |

| histo | seriously_random: afaik the only way to get itunes working in linux is to use a windows vm | 07:39 |
| summit | . | 07:39 |
| seriously_random | histo, I have used gnome-mplayer for quicktime in the past. Thought perhaps this itunes protocol is just as simple | 07:40 |

| histo | !ipad | Kion | 07:42 |
| histo | !ipod | Kion | 07:42 |
| ubottu | Kion: For information on how to sync and add tracks to your iPod, see the guide at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IPodHowto - For the iPhone and the iPod Touch, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone - See !RockBox for information on liberating your iPod | 07:42 |
| Kion | Thanks it is not for me, but for a friend that If I help him with this he will get rid of Windows for good and use Ubuntu | 07:43 |
| Tex_Nick | Kion : unfortunately i don't use apple products ( i love them though ) doesn't the Ipad support SSH ... is so you could SSH into the Ipad and probably do a lot ??? | 07:44 |
| histo | Kion: Unfortunately if he is really reliant on itunes and wanted to switch to linux he would still need a windows vm at the least to use itunes | 07:45 |
| jellow | It is ptobally more sane to stick with windows due to apples proprietary nature | 07:46 |
| Kion | Tex_Nick: Probbably bvia ssh, that makes sense, but he is not very technology oriented.. | 07:46 |
| histo | Kion: well you could use scp if ssh is supported. | 07:46 |
| Kion | For me, I just dont use any apple stuff | 07:46 |
| Kion | histo: I will tell him to give ssh a try, maybe that is the solution | 07:47 |
| histo | Kion: well you can get him some graphical apps for copying files back and forth etc.. but he will not be able to backup etc.. like itunes but everything is cloud based now. Why would he even need to plug the iPad into a computer? | 07:48 |
| Jordan_U | Kion: Try the page that ubottu linked to before jailbreaking and using ssh. That sounds highly suboptimal, especially for a new Ubuntu user. | 07:48 |
| * histo is confused why an iPad even needs to be plugged into a computer. | 07:48 | |
| jellow | Kion: I've ssh'ed into my ipod touch and all the music names were hashed , realy was not practical. | 07:49 |
| alocer | so we can ssh into an android phone ? 0.O i didnt know that wow | 07:49 |
| Kion | jellow Yes, I am looking at them now | 07:49 |
| histo | alocer: with a proper app installed. You can even have your android phone be an ssh server | 07:50 |
| Tex_Nick | are we talking about an ipod or ipad ? | 07:50 |

| Ogham | Hi all, just hit a bug with /boot being full when doing the latest update to 3.8.0-25 - Is there a manual solution? | 07:55 |
| zetheroo | why is it that copying large files to a USB flash drive is so extremely slow? | 07:55 |
| Tex_Nick | zetheroo: are you using usb2 or usb3 ? | 07:57 |
| zetheroo | Tex_Nick: USB2 | 07:57 |
| Tex_Nick | zetheroo: have a look at the following link ... it will give you USB Specifications ... compare them to the device you're coppying from ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Serial_Bus | 07:59 |
| Ogham | Is there a recommended way to remove old kernels? | 07:59 |
| emx | i want to access my encrypted home from a non-ubuntu linux. where do i find my home folder? | 07:59 |
| Jordan_U | Ogham: Remove their kernel packages. | 08:01 |
| summit | what's everyones thought on Easystroke Gesture Recognition with ubuntu? | 08:01 |
| Tex_Nick | zetheroo: also keep inmind that your motherboard usb interface needs to be at least usb2 compliant ... if it's legacy usb, it's gonna be SLOW | 08:01 |
| Ogham | Jordan_U: Are there further actions required such as grub updates? | 08:01 |
| Jordan_U | Ogham: Nope, that's all done automagically :) | 08:01 |
| Ogham | Jordan_U: ah excellent, been a while since I used ubuntu! (Used to BSD) - So that is literally it, purge the packages and reboot?> | 08:02 |
| zetheroo | Tex_Nick: I don't understand ... this is not an issue with my hardware since with Windows or older Ubuntu releases this issue was non-existent | 08:02 |
| jamescarr | Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' | 08:02 |
| zetheroo | Tex_Nick: This has only been occurring with the last 2 or so releases of Ubuntu - and on all my machines here and at work! | 08:03 |

| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| Jordan_U | Ogham: Yup, and of course you don't need to reboot immediately, but you can if you want to confirm that everything worked as expected. | 08:04 |
| darkapp | before installing a new one | 08:04 |
| zetheroo | Tex_Nick: no, just generally copying large files to USB flash drives takes ages ... it starts off fast and then slows to a crawl | 08:05 |
| Jordan_U | darkapp: Yes. That's actually a very common thing for users to do to get a dual boot, and Ubuntu's installer handles it quite well. | 08:06 |
| darkapp | i mean before the new os is installed | 08:06 |
| rojie1 | iMdapt | 08:06 |
| Ogham | Jordan_U: great thanks, just apt-get purged 3 old ones, took the -extras with em.. and seemed to finish updating the new 3.8.0-25 kernel that failed to install earlier due to lack of space in /boot! | 08:06 |
| Jordan_U | Ogham: You're welcome. | 08:07 |
| darkapp | Jordan_U: is there a way to partition without installing a new os | 08:08 |
| Jordan_U | darkapp: Yes, you can use GParted or other tools for partitioning. | 08:08 |
| darkapp | apt-get install gparted? | 08:08 |
| pelmen | Non on is in ubuntu-arm and ubuntu-boot so I have to ask here... Anyone can help me debug boot on Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1? :) The very same kernel and initramfs boot Debian and Kali Linux but not Ubuntu which just stops somewhere and nothing happens | 08:08 |
| Jordan_U | darkapp: It's included by default in Ubuntu LiveDVD/USBs. | 08:08 |
| darkapp | so im on mint right now | 08:09 |
| darkapp | its on my computer? | 08:09 |
| Tex_Nick | zetheroo: i could do some searching ... what distros are you using ? | 08:09 |
| zetheroo | Tex_Nick: just Ubuntu 12.04 and up | 08:10 |
| Tex_Nick | zetheroo: what transfer rates are you getting at the beginning & end ? | 08:10 |
| darkapp | ok got it | 08:11 |
| darkapp | thanx Jordan_U | 08:11 |
| darkapp | apreciate the help | 08:11 |
| Tex_Nick | zetheroo: and what file sizes | 08:11 |
| zetheroo | Tex_Nick: transfer starts at about 25MB/sec and end at about 1MB/sec ... file size is anything from 500MB and up ... | 08:13 |
| Ogham | Jordan_U: Thanks again! That was very 'automated'! Survived reboot, and previously failed 3.8.0-25 has been installed! :) | 08:15 |
| Ogham | Crazy bug though! | 08:15 |
| darkapp | ok Jordan_U is there anyway to partition encrypted harddrives | 08:15 |
| Tex_Nick | zetheroo: ok i'm looking now ... no promises though ... ask your question every 10 minutes or so, providing all those details ... i'll report back in a few minutes | 08:16 |

| splinter701 | what sort of measurement tools are you using? The same tools using the same measurement units for each OS? | 08:45 |
| adnauseam | alocer: sounds like a frequency issue - try specifying a channel that;s not being used up as the one you're on right now | 08:45 |
| histo | Guest19405: appears to be a bug | 08:46 |
| alocer | splinter701, yes same tools :( | 08:46 |
| alocer | adnauseam, the thing is i have tried that too no diff | 08:47 |
| adnauseam | alocer: siwtch to modified drivers for your card | 08:47 |
| alocer | adnauseam, is there any? and how ? using ndiswrapper ? | 08:48 |
| adnauseam | alocer: what's your model ? | 08:48 |
| splinter701 | what tool are you using to test network speed? | 08:49 |
| adnauseam | alocer: if you know which drivers you're using - you can find its modified version if it exists. also how are you measuring this ? | 08:49 |
| alocer | usual internet work .. downloads ... most of the time wget with same options ... i m curious becuz its diffrente between ubuntu and fedora :-| | 08:50 |
| Josh | Has anybody used unetbootin here? | 08:50 |
| splinter701 | josh, i've used it | 08:51 |
| histo | !anyone | jos | 08:52 |
| ubottu | jos: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 08:52 |
| histo | Josh: ^^^^^ | 08:52 |
| alocer | adnauseam, splinter701 even copying file between phone and os in wifi ... | 08:52 |
| histo | alocer: it must be the module that is the difference in fedora vs ubuntu | 08:54 |
| histo | alocer: what chipset is your card? | 08:54 |
| alocer | histo, the module is based on kernel . and fedora is using the same module . so it should be that i m hallucinating ? | 08:55 |
| alocer | histo, Atheros Communications Inc. AR9287 Wireless Network Adapter (PCI-Express) (rev 01) | 08:56 |
| histo | alocer: well then perhaps it's a dns issue. I would check your routes out both and see if you can determine the issue. | 08:57 |
| alocer | histo, how much time a dns issue will waste , more than 5 seconds ? | 08:58 |
| Mrdanish | hi to all | 08:58 |
| splinter701 | alocer, how many times have you tested this issue? It would need to be more than a few times for each OS | 08:58 |
| Mrdanish | anyone from pakistan? | 08:58 |

| === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off | ||
| h22 | Ben64: I believe the yellow spots on flash videos and those on html5 videos are unrelated.. and I've found that using a older flash plugin solves the problem for flash videos.. but html5 videos are still messy | 10:15 |
| h22 | And firefox by default uses the older flash plugin. | 10:16 |

| leehambley | hi all, I'm looking for a way to stop apache2,samba and netatalk starting when installed via apt, I keep running into this: http://lifeonubuntu.com/how-to-prevent-server-daemons-from-starting-during-apt-get-install/ solution, and can't help thinking "that's an ugly hack" - but I also can't find much information on how to properly use policy-rc.d | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | leehambley: i believe in the postinst, they are started... | 11:06 |
| jrib | leehambley: zless /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.policy-rc.d.gz I believe is the documentation you seek | 11:07 |
| leehambley | ActionParsnip: right, and invoke-rc.d should consult /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d if it exists | 11:07 |
| leehambley | sure jrib: I can create a script there that accepts those options, and if apache2/nginx/samba./netatalk are listed, return 105 or similar… but that documentation also reads "MUST BE MANAGED BY THE ALTERNATIVES SYSTEM" | 11:07 |
| leehambley | so it looks like I'd be doing something pretty risky if I just drop a ruby/bash script in there? | 11:08 |
| jrib | leehambley: ... by any package providing it | 11:08 |
| leehambley | fair call… so I can drop something that just exits with the code if arg matches | 11:08 |
| leehambley | thanks for the sanity check jrib | 11:09 |
| jrib | leehambley: you can see a more authoritative document pointing to policy-rc.d here: http://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/securing-debian-howto/ch3.en.html (search for policy-rc.d) | 11:09 |

| leehambley | ahh: invoke-rc.d support is mandatory in Debian, which means that for Debian 4.0 etch and later releases you can write a policy-rc.d file that forbids starting new daemons before you configure them. Although no such scripts are packaged yet, they are quite simple to write. See policyrcd-script-zg2. | 11:10 |

| CalimeroTeknik | say, I ran locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8 ; LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 nano and it's in English | 12:19 |
| CalimeroTeknik | did I miss something there? | 12:19 |
| ezra-s | CalimeroTeknik, maybe it is not translated to French, but I'm just trying to guess | 12:20 |
| CalimeroTeknik | it is. | 12:20 |
| CalimeroTeknik | this works on other distributions | 12:20 |
| CalimeroTeknik | whatever the environment variables set | 12:20 |
| CalimeroTeknik | actually, I've tried for two days to set the locale on ubuntu in the past on a production server I couldn't reinstall, and I never, never could give it a locale. | 12:21 |
| ezra-s | CalimeroTeknik, did you use --purge in locale-gen? | 12:22 |
| CalimeroTeknik | uh? this is a fresh chroot. | 12:22 |
| CalimeroTeknik | installed with debootstrap to try things, it's 12.04 | 12:22 |
| ezra-s | CalimeroTeknik, try "cat /etc/default/locale" | 12:23 |
| CalimeroTeknik | so I thought I'd tackle the problem of the locale that was a failure last time | 12:23 |
| ezra-s | see what's in there | 12:23 |
| === space is now known as Guest31075 | ||
| CalimeroTeknik | well I just ran update-locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 | 12:23 |
| CalimeroTeknik | so cat /etc/default/locale says LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 of course. | 12:24 |
| ActionParsnip | CalimeroTeknik: could use localepurge, it will leave only the locales you state (or just use one for simplicity) | 12:24 |
| CalimeroTeknik | okay… I think I generated one anyway. | 12:25 |
| CalimeroTeknik | there is no such command | 12:25 |
| CalimeroTeknik | plus this is ubuntu (or debian)-specific | 12:26 |
| CalimeroTeknik | whereas locale-gen is a part of libc, and update-locale just edits /etc/default/locale | 12:26 |
| ezra-s | CalimeroTeknik, if you are certain you have found a bug, report it | 12:26 |
| ezra-s | I can't think of anything else | 12:27 |
| CalimeroTeknik | no. I just don't know how you put a locale on ubuntu | 12:27 |
| ezra-s | my locale works so I don't know what you could be missing | 12:27 |
| CalimeroTeknik | apparently the installer sets it alright, but it seems ubuntu hacked this so much that libc is beyond recognition | 12:27 |
| === xgoo is now known as Guest63588 | ||
| CalimeroTeknik | and I didn't use an installer but debootstrap | 12:28 |
| CalimeroTeknik | so this is a fail? I could say I wasn't sure if the previous server was a clean install, but this is. | 12:28 |
| ActionParsnip | CalimeroTeknik: tried localepurge? | 12:28 |
| CalimeroTeknik | no such command | 12:29 |
| CalimeroTeknik | also there is nothing to purge. | 12:29 |
| CalimeroTeknik | could you explain how I run "localepurge" ? | 12:30 |
| ezra-s | ActionParsnip, I believe you mean locale-gen --purge | 12:30 |
| CalimeroTeknik | apt-something localepurge ? | 12:30 |
| ActionParsnip | CalimeroTeknik: sudo apt-get install localepurge | 12:30 |

| CalimeroTeknik | locale-gen --purge | 12:30 |
| ezra-s | localepurge is something else | 12:31 |
| ezra-s | did it work? | 12:31 |

| ezra-s | CalimeroTeknik, I believe (I'm not an expert in the matter at all) ubuntu comes with language packs, maybe you are missing those | 12:38 |
| CalimeroTeknik | what! again, ubuntu doesn't package bash with locale files! | 12:38 |
| CalimeroTeknik | ah, maybe there is a pack indeed, not some bash-i18n | 12:38 |
| ezra-s | CalimeroTeknik, do a apt-cache search language-pack-fr | 12:38 |
| ezra-s | chances are what you seek are in those | 12:39 |
| CalimeroTeknik | indeed, indeed, thanks | 12:39 |
| CalimeroTeknik | this is getting understandable | 12:39 |
| ezra-s | hehehe | 12:39 |
| CalimeroTeknik | I was "what" seeing the output of dpkg -L nano, then dpkg -L bash | 12:39 |

| minimec | Magicarp: At my knowledge, you cannot really influence that anymore on newer computers. It is not the os that handles this, but the BIOS. You may have some options like 'target fan speed' or so in the BIOS settings. What you can do, is to use a kernel with 'undervolting' function, to lower fan speed. | 12:54 |

| BabyCat | Hi folks, I'm having networking problems and I've narrowed it down to the ubuntu operating system.. Where can I go to figure out how to solve this networking problem? It keeps me online for a few mintues and kicks me off... Doesn't seem a router problem cause the windows laptop never gets kicked off, just Ubuntu.. I'm using 12.03 | 12:57 |

| splinter701 | is this on wifi babycat? | 12:58 |
| BabyCat | yeah. it is.. | 12:58 |
| Ari-Yang | perhaps try proprietary wifi driver? | 12:58 |

| soa2ii | Hi. What's the difference between linux-signed-generic-lts-quantal and linux-generic-lts-quantal? | 12:59 |
| BabyCat | it seems when I turn off the network and restart it, I get networking for another couple minutes | 12:59 |
| BabyCat | so I think cause of that, it's the operating system.. | 12:59 |
| soa2ii | Oh and linux-signed-image-generic-lts-quantal … | 12:59 |
| BabyCat | it doesn't tell me it's offline, just loops and never comes out | 12:59 |

| wheatthin | Ububegin, it's doing a full upgrade | 13:37 |
| BluesKaj | Ububegin, your OS is upgrading to the next release | 13:37 |
| acerimmer | Ububegin, pretty much depends on how fast your ISP is right? | 13:37 |
| Ububegin | Ububegin : Next release... not 13.04 | 13:37 |
| Ububegin | BluesKaj, Next release , not 13.04 ah | 13:38 |
| BluesKaj | Ububegin, the -d is not a good idea for an LTS \ | 13:38 |
| wheatthin | acerimmer, not necassarily, depends on which service he's getting it from | 13:38 |
| acerimmer | !mirror | 13:38 |

| acerimmer | wheatthin, so true. blushing to admit I didn't know I could localize my mirror for the first 4 years of my ubuntu use | 13:39 |
| IdleOne | or have packages started to install? | 13:39 |
| Ububegin | IdleOne, some packages have installed... I suppose.. its been close to 40 mins | 13:39 |
| wheatthin | netherlands is fastest for me, and I'm in California, USA :) | 13:39 |
| IdleOne | Ububegin: guessing is not going to help. What is the terminal doing at this moment | 13:40 |
| IdleOne | ? | 13:40 |
| Ububegin | IdleOne, Selecting previously unselected package nmap. | 13:40 |
| Ububegin | Unpacking nmap (from .../nmap_6.00-0.1_i386.deb) | 13:40 |
| reisio | well geographic proximity matters, but so does bandwidth | 13:41 |
| reisio | I believe the mirrors are listed in order of bandwidth | 13:41 |
| IdleOne | hmm, should be safe for you to ctrl-c . it hasn't starting installing yet. | 13:41 |
| BluesKaj | Ububegin, the -d means you are installing a dvelopment release , which will probly break your system anyway since you skipped 13.04 and are going directly to 13.10 | 13:41 |
| === Reedy_ is now known as Reedy | ||
| wheatthin | BluesKaj, it won't break his system.. just might make it unstable | 13:42 |

| wheatthin | it's doable | 13:48 |
| reisio | upgrading to new releases is quite a sane notion, ordinarily | 13:48 |
| Ari-Yang | if I do so, all of the PPAs and programs I installed via those PPAs will be updated to 13.04 PPAs, yes? | 13:48 |
| reisio | less so with Ubuntu, IME, but in general still a good notion :p | 13:48 |

| MonkeyDust | question* | 13:52 |
| Pici | *another question, the real one. | 13:52 |
| Ari-Yang | there's also #lubuntu | 13:53 |
| Ari-Yang | !lubuntu | 13:53 |
| ubottu | lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. | 13:53 |
| HElephant | I'm trying to install Lubuntu on my old laptop, Pentinum 3, ~480MB RAM. I pop in the CD/USB and choose my language and choose to install. Then after loading files it says "Starting LightDM Display Manager [OK]" with the lubuntu logo. | 13:54 |
| HElephant | Ari-Yang, I've been there, I am there now. It's kind of dead. | 13:54 |
| Ari-Yang | *nod* | 13:55 |
| reisio | HElephant: and then? | 13:55 |
| HElephant | And then... nothing. That's all that happends. The "Starting LightDM Display Manager [OK]" with the lubuntu logo for two seconds, then a black screen for 5 seconds, then it repeats. | 13:55 |

| ActionParsnip | HElephant: what video chip do you use> | 13:58 |
| HElephant | reisio, should I do this when I get the problem or before the installation? | 13:58 |
| HElephant | ActionParsnip, urgh, some ATI Rage card. | 13:59 |
| reisio | HElephant: to try and fix it | 13:59 |
| reisio | you could also fix it from a graphical environment by booting up the install media again, and doing 'try' instead of 'install' | 13:59 |
| reisio | but that'll take longer (at least to someone who can stand being outside of X) | 14:00 |
| reisio | bbl | 14:00 |
| HElephant | reisio, but should I do this before or after I get "Starting LightDM Display Manager [OK]"? | 14:00 |

| ubottu | kekko,: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 14:28 |
| DJones | faulkmore: Lubuntu 12.04 is not an LTS (5 years support), but a standard release that is supported for 18 months, so that will become unsupported in October 2013 | 14:28 |
| adamk_ | HElephant: So by saying you could barely get in, you are saying that you *did* get in. So now run the pastebinit command I gave earlier. | 14:29 |
| Ari-Yang | faulkmore, pretty much yes. But when Software Updater fails, I run dist-upgrade (and it fails for me when I've been slacking on updates and there are over 15-20 updates) | 14:29 |

| kekko | wow | 14:31 |
| Ari-Yang | elijah, you sure you typed in dist-upgrade and not dis-upgrade (which you just typed)? | 14:31 |
| Ari-Yang | and if it doesn't, I dunno then | 14:31 |

| teamcoltra | When I log into the guest account it is working fine, so it's something to do with my user account | 14:47 |
| teamcoltra | I could add a new user give them admin privvys delete this one and then re-create it... but that sounds like a lot of work | 14:48 |
| wheatthin | teamcoltra, You could delete the hidden configs in your user home directory | 14:51 |
| wheatthin | when you relogin, they'll come back | 14:52 |

| duelle | Hi, my laptop has an ethernet and a wifi device. When I try to ping it always uses the (not connected) ethernet device to run that ping .. even when I specify the interface to be used. It always uses the not connected ethernet. ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774145/ ) | 14:59 |
| wheatthin | Hmm duelle, did you specify a specific route/gateway ? | 15:02 |
| === me is now known as Guest66149 | ||
| MonkeyDust | duelle if you can ping an IP address, but not a URL, then it's a DNS issue -- try ping [ip address] | 15:03 |
| wheatthin | MonkeyDust, it's translating | 15:03 |
| kasansweat | All ubuntu native twitter clients I use (polly, turpial, hotot) have suddenly stopped authenticating correctly -- any ideas? | 15:04 |
| duelle | wheatthin: I didn't define a route. I only defined a gateway for the eth0 device. The wlan0 is configured via dhcp. | 15:04 |
| wheatthin | that's the problem | 15:05 |
| duelle | wheatthin: Ping doesn't use the correctly connected wlan0 card even if i enforce it with the -I parameter. | 15:06 |
| wheatthin | that's because you defined the gateway to ethernet . | 15:06 |
| wheatthin | connected or not, that's what you defined it to do | 15:06 |
| duelle | wheatthin: But isn't the gateway dependent on the device? I defined the gateway for eth0 | 15:07 |
| wheatthin | gateway means gateway out of the network | 15:07 |
| duelle | wheatthin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774210/ Thats what my /etc/network/interfaces looks liek | 15:08 |
| wheatthin | comment out the eth0 stuff | 15:09 |
| duelle | wheatthin: I want to set the machine to be my internet-gateway.. It should connect via wlan to the router and be kind of proxy via eth | 15:10 |
| wheatthin | so your gateway will be your wifi net not the ethernet | 15:11 |
| wheatthin | uncomment the gateway and try that | 15:11 |
| duelle | wheatthin: ok, thx - I'll try ;) | 15:11 |

| SuperLag | too bad kasansweat left | 15:13 |
| SuperLag | I was going to say, it's probably Twitter API changes | 15:13 |
| sienez | hi. how can I change the icon of a shortcut on my desktop on ubuntu 12.04? | 15:14 |
| SuperLag | Twitter doesn't care for any devs other than its own. | 15:14 |
| SuperLag | sienez: /usr/share/applications/<name of app>.desktop | 15:14 |
| sienez | SuperLag, name of app... it's a shell script | 15:15 |
| sienez | SuperLag, what name does it have? /bin/sh? | 15:15 |
| SuperLag | sienez: then I would create a .desktop file for that script, in /usr/share/applications/ | 15:15 |
| SuperLag | sienez: what does your script do? | 15:16 |
| sienez | it simply calls a python file in /usr/share | 15:16 |
| leehambley | hi jrib: just a short question, does upstart honor policy-rc.d, seems like not, any idea how I can prevent upstart starting jobs that are newly installed ? | 15:16 |
| sienez | SuperLag, it just starts a gui | 15:16 |
| SuperLag | sienez: I'd create a .desktop file for it. That will also put it in your Unity search, or Applications menu | 15:17 |
| Yoshi1 | BluesKaj: well i am setting up the mini for a friend she's only gonna view youtube and listen to music on it | 15:17 |
| Yoshi1 | maybe do emails | 15:17 |
| sienez | SuperLag, it looks like this: #!/bin/sh /path/to/app.py | 15:17 |
| CalimeroTeknik | how do I add the key for a ppa, or disable its verification? apt-get upgrade says "6 not updated" | 15:17 |
| SuperLag | sienez: if your python script is set +x, then you don't need to call /bin/sh first. You can call the script directly. | 15:18 |
| BluesKaj | Yoshi1, then your friend should be fine ...hope she enjoys ubuntu :) | 15:18 |
| CalimeroTeknik | !pkgfile apt-add-repository | 15:18 |
| jrib | leehambley: I think even with sysv, a service will be started. Though I'm not sure. What happens is that .postinst scripts call invoke-rc.d SERVICE when you install a package. I don't know if there's some other way than, to disable the service (use manual override (search upstart cookbook) for upstart services and sysv-rc-conf if a service does not use an upstart script) | 15:18 |
| Yoshi1 | BluesKaj: i hope so too. i'm hoping it will also cure alot of the inevitable problems she gets with windows heh. i use debian myself and used to use ubuntu | 15:19 |
| CalimeroTeknik | do we have a !whatpackageisthisfilein command? | 15:19 |
| leehambley | cheers | 15:19 |
| reisio | taxi | 15:19 |
| wheatthin | CalimeroTeknik, apt-get update should tell you the errors of which is erroring | 15:19 |
| SuperLag | sienez: like I said... create a .desktop file for it. I'd recommend creating a .desktop file in /usr/share/applications/ - start with an existing file, make a copy of it and rename it to correspond to your script, then edit the file to have values you want, and point to the icon file you want | 15:19 |
| jrib | leehambley: there's some talk here that I haven't read through: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571054 | 15:20 |
| ubottu | Debian bug 571054 in pbuilder "Divert /sbin/initctl to fix start(8) in lucid postinsts." [Normal,Open] | 15:20 |

| sienez | SuperLag, thank you, I will do this | 15:20 |
| CalimeroTeknik | I don't know how to give it the key but apparently people add the repo with apt-add-repository instead | 15:21 |
| sfxcc | how can i install libcrypto1.0.0 on a debian whisch have only 0.9.8 | 15:21 |

| subz3r0 | found a bug on launchpad, but no real solution. especially not why its floodin my hdd? | 15:49 |
| CalimeroTeknik | wheatthin, you won't tell (or don't know?) what apt-add-repository will do, aside from adding a line to /etc/apt/sources.list? | 15:49 |
| wheatthin | CalimeroTeknik, that's all it does is at it to the source list | 15:50 |
| SuperLag | sienez: the python script you're trying to run... is it in /usr/share/galicaster/galicaster-1.2.3/, and it's called run_galicaster.py ? | 15:50 |
| SolarisBoy | subz3r0: are you using the uvcdynctrl package for something? | 15:50 |
| wheatthin | CalimeroTeknik, apt-get update, updates the source | 15:50 |
| sienez | SuperLag, exactly | 15:50 |
| wheatthin | CalimeroTeknik, and apt-get upgrade upgrades | 15:50 |
| utusan | CalimeroTeknik: it also gets/update PGP keys | 15:50 |
| CalimeroTeknik | I did apt-get update;apt-get upgrade | 15:50 |
| CalimeroTeknik | I did that as well manually | 15:51 |
| CalimeroTeknik | the key | 15:51 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: sorry i did not mention. Its on my netbook with a build in webcam | 15:51 |
| CalimeroTeknik | now apt-get just says there are 6 non-upgraded packages | 15:51 |
| CalimeroTeknik | and I want it to upgrade them but it won't | 15:51 |
| sienez | but I also have in /usr/local/bin a script to launch the same command, so just running 'galicaster' from terminal is sufficient | 15:51 |

| SuperLag | sienez: I would recommend making your icon a PNG file | 15:52 |
| SolarisBoy | it's possible that a package that you installed has this "bug" of over logging - | 15:52 |
| SolarisBoy | is what im getting at. =) | 15:53 |
| SolarisBoy | doesn't mean "ubuntu" will be fixing it or explaining why - my question is - are you "using" that package? | 15:53 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: i did not install this package. 100% sure. it will be installed when ubuntu is checking for the hardware while installation | 15:53 |

| CalimeroTeknik | ahhh thanks utusan ! | 15:58 |
| subz3r0 | none with a normal usb webcam on a pc at home | 15:58 |
| utusan | CalimeroTeknik: np | 15:58 |
| SolarisBoy | the job of the app is to control dynamic settings on the cam - it may be related to that package + type of camera that comes on those laptops | 15:59 |
| SolarisBoy | especially if it's just a case of over logging something informational | 15:59 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: wondering why this issue came up today. Sit in the train, listened to music and played solitaire when i wondered that my system is gettin slower and slower and after a while it complained that root has no free space | 15:59 |
| SolarisBoy | what was your camera doing? | 15:59 |
| subz3r0 | the cam? Nothing | 15:59 |
| SolarisBoy | have you looked at the messages in the logs? at what they say? | 15:59 |

| subz3r0 | BlueEagle: mhh? have you read my postings above? | 16:05 |
| subz3r0 | without the root console even sudo rm -rf file was not possible... | 16:05 |
| SolarisBoy | also not running programs that spam your root drive | 16:05 |
| SolarisBoy | =) | 16:05 |
| BluesKaj | ok subz3r0 nm , but you mentioned root was getting full | 16:06 |

| CalimeroTeknik | ah, I have boost 1.46 | 16:09 |
| CalimeroTeknik | and 1.49 installed | 16:09 |
| CalimeroTeknik | I intended for it to be upgraded | 16:09 |
| CalimeroTeknik | how can I remove all the 1.46 boost packages? | 16:10 |
| subz3r0 | MonkeyDust: i know which files are > 1gb. The problem is something different ;) | 16:10 |
| SolarisBoy | subz3r0: seems like verbose logging :shrugs:: like i said thsoe are just a bunch of udev variables that are getting dynamically set on various "events" udev is calling on that tool which adjusts settings on v4l devices. I would inventory that a) my device works , if so i would b) ensure that debug setting you added actually fixed it - | 16:10 |
| SolarisBoy | and i wouldn't worry about it after that if so.. | 16:10 |
| wheatthin | subz3r0, try using logrotate if logs are getting too big | 16:11 |
| subz3r0 | thanks for the help guys. but thats not the problem ;) | 16:11 |
| SolarisBoy | IF this is something that just started happening AGAIN - you may want to think that something changed with your camera | 16:12 |
| subz3r0 | the problem is that one file "uvcdynctrl-udev.log" is getting very bug. since im not the only guy who has this problem. it must be a bug somewhere/somehow. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libwebcam/+bug/811604 | 16:12 |
| ubottu | Launchpad bug 811604 in libwebcam (Ubuntu) "uvcdynctrl spams uvcdynctrl-udev.log and fills up filesystem" [Undecided,Confirmed] | 16:12 |
| SolarisBoy | loose connection on the baord - understanding that it is likely a cheap camera and likely to be broken somehow - | 16:12 |
| SolarisBoy | subz3r0: your not understanding - | 16:12 |
| SolarisBoy | thats not indicative of a BUG | 16:12 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: the cam is working properly | 16:12 |
| SolarisBoy | it's an occurence in a program | 16:12 |
| SolarisBoy | subz3r0: then disable the logging as they advised | 16:12 |
| SolarisBoy | like i said | 16:13 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: I did not change anything. The problem just came up today | 16:13 |
| SolarisBoy | then again - check your system | 16:13 |
| === BradCrittenden is now known as bac | ||

| SuperLag | sienez: make sure your .py script has the executable bit set... i.e. chmod +x /usr/local/share/galicaster-1.2.3/run_galicaster.py | 16:18 |
| SolarisBoy | subz3r0: figure out what uses it... | 16:18 |
| SolarisBoy | subz3r0: apparently its a dependancy of libwebcam - | 16:18 |
| sienez | SuperLag, sure does. The desktop link works already, it's just the eyecandy icon thing ;) | 16:18 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: how to figure that out? :) | 16:19 |
| SolarisBoy | i don't have this installed on my system with attached logitech cams ::shrugs:: | 16:19 |
| SuperLag | sienez: and if that doesn't work, let me know... I'm here to help you figure it out until it works how you like. | 16:19 |
| SolarisBoy | subz3r0: i ran 'apt-cache show uvcdynctrl' | 16:19 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: it could be from Lxde desktop(since i installed it too) or from the program "motion" which i have installed to. | 16:19 |
| SolarisBoy | it tells you the source of the package | 16:19 |
| SolarisBoy | subz3r0: sounds like "motion" | 16:20 |
| subz3r0 | there is an application for webcams within lxde desktop | 16:20 |
| SolarisBoy | i know.. | 16:20 |
| SolarisBoy | and thats the underlying tool it uses most likely | 16:20 |

| subz3r0 | ivymike: its a magic ;) | 16:47 |
| ivymike | Does it look into a dictionnary ? | 16:47 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: i see a lot of messages of your NICs going down/up | 16:47 |
| servercbe | what it does mean SolarisBoy? | 16:48 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: also see some stuff indicates you share files over the network, i wonder if your system is panicing because of something related to your network issues. - maybe not panic'ing because i see things get HUP'd (gracefully?) | 16:48 |
| fm__ | after a scandisk, it seems to work intermittently | 16:48 |
| ivymike | let's try an exotic language | 16:48 |
| fm__ | I need to find a permanent fix for this. | 16:48 |
| ivymike | aful sqip | 16:48 |
| servercbe | I have been traying to share some file over the network but! and and use a print share but unfortunatly did not work | 16:49 |
| ivymike | lol the bot doesn't know every language, once again the man beats the machine | 16:50 |
| servercbe | ops... and I've been trying to use a print shared | 16:50 |
| SolarisBoy | looks like you've been also mounting network block devices which may be hanging and rebooting your system | 16:51 |
| subz3r0 | servercbe: did the errors ocure before you tried to share? | 16:51 |
| servercbe | yes | 16:51 |
| subz3r0 | nbd_server occurs also x times | 16:51 |
| servercbe | How do I fix that??? | 16:52 |
| SolarisBoy | technically i see one error in your log and it's concerning the X server | 16:52 |
| SolarisBoy | fix what? what time did your server reboot? dmesg does not generally have spectaccular data on stuff like shudt downs - | 16:52 |
| SolarisBoy | as the system shut down = your best bet is looking at the data logically and trying to understand what happened around those times | 16:52 |
| servercbe | has about 9 days doing it.. restarting the thin clients | 16:53 |
| SolarisBoy | so other than that ERROR in your log - and those network flops - ::shrugs:: not sure | 16:53 |
| SolarisBoy | if it's restarting ALL the thin clients you should be looking at something more globally no? | 16:53 |
| SolarisBoy | like the network - which ironically is flipping like hot cakes in your logs | 16:53 |
| subz3r0 | lol :D | 16:53 |
| ivymike | goeiemorgen | 16:54 |
| subz3r0 | guten morgen ivymike | 16:55 |
| ivymike | lol i'm trying to understand the bot | 16:55 |
| SolarisBoy | hmmm your thin clients run DHCP servers on them? | 16:55 |

| subz3r0 | !de | subz3r0 | 16:56 |
| ubottu | subz3r0, please see my private message | 16:56 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: how do your thin clients configure their network on boot? pxe/dhcp? | 16:56 |
| subz3r0 | !de > subz3r0 | 16:56 |
| servercbe | I think Pxe/ dhco | 16:57 |
| min|dvir|us | My computer works just fine, and then all of a sudden, everything hangs and I have to reboot. What do I do? | 16:57 |
| servercbe | in fact that's what i see when they are logging in | 16:57 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: easy then.. | 16:57 |
| servercbe | yes. | 16:57 |
| SolarisBoy | you have some conflict thats causing them to boot and shut down - it may be a network conflick | 16:57 |
| subz3r0 | min|dvir|us: check the logs in /var/logs also you may want to check your RAM and/or if the cpu temperature is "not" too high | 16:58 |
| SolarisBoy | so question... do you have multiple nics on your "thin clients" for whatever reason? | 16:58 |
| ivymike | oh I thought the bot finds out the langage I'm speaking with an algorithme | 16:58 |
| subz3r0 | --> /var/log | 16:58 |
| min|dvir|us | Whic particular log? | 16:58 |
| min|dvir|us | *Which | 16:58 |
| subz3r0 | syslog | 16:58 |
| subz3r0 | kernel | 16:58 |
| subz3r0 | check the temperature too | 16:59 |
| servercbe | each pc only has 1 ethernet | 16:59 |
| min|dvir|us | I already checked, and I see nothing there. | 16:59 |
| subz3r0 | last one is the first thing that i would do under this circuumstances(summer) | 16:59 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: and if that is the log of a "thin client" you posted - i would wonder why my clients are running dhcp servers - and would question if they are successfully starting and listening for DHCP (broadcast) = then what ranges are being served and if there is a conflict | 16:59 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: ^ | 16:59 |
| min|dvir|us | My temps are fine. | 17:00 |
| SolarisBoy | another thing you can do which should be native/ monitor the PXE boot messages at the same time monitor the TFTP/PXE service logs on the server side | 17:00 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: isnt the behaviour a way to weird for a ip conflict? even if the ranges are leased by another client.. such a behaviur? | 17:00 |
| subz3r0 | an... | 17:00 |
| SolarisBoy | no not if your pxe booting.. | 17:00 |
| subz3r0 | good to know | 17:00 |
| SolarisBoy | and nto if when he says he sees the pxe boot stuff on the screen when he gets there | 17:00 |
| subz3r0 | did not read that... preparing my lunch meanwhile :> | 17:01 |
| SolarisBoy | it sounds like its looping - trying to boot an image and nto working - looking for DHCP and so forth - it could be other things but im saying it would have to be something in common enough to affect each thin client like he mentioned - sounds like the network | 17:01 |
| subz3r0 | im that hungry, i could eat a whole cow :D | 17:01 |
| SolarisBoy | so if you have multiple dhcps on one network - i can see your pxe halting there and being confused | 17:01 |
| servercbe | Yes. I see on the screen when is logging in with pxe, and then get an IP, then I got the username screen | 17:02 |
| SolarisBoy | eating the cow is fine - passing it may get a little crazy | 17:02 |
| anonymous | hello | 17:02 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: and then you log in and it reboots? | 17:02 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: hrhr | 17:02 |
| servercbe | not at the moment. take a moment or 10 minutes | 17:03 |
| servercbe | and then reboot | 17:03 |
| servercbe | and I got an username screen again | 17:03 |
| SolarisBoy | interesting | 17:03 |
| subz3r0 | min|dvir|us: I would check when the problems begin (time) and check the logs for that time | 17:03 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: you will need to gather more data then | 17:03 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: can you recreate the issue? | 17:03 |
| servercbe | like? | 17:03 |
| SolarisBoy | servercbe: ^^ and looking at more logs than just one from the time of boot to shutdown | 17:04 |
| servercbe | any in specific? any command to get that info? | 17:04 |
| SolarisBoy | tons of them - tail/cat/grep | 17:04 |
| krzee | im on an ubuntu server with no tun module, anyone know how i can install just the tun module? | 17:05 |
| SolarisBoy | there is always a tradeoff either you know what your looking for or have an idea | 17:05 |
| === marahin is now known as Guest24221 | ||
| SolarisBoy | in your case i would say you have an idea - i would open my search up to "sudo grep -r error /var/log" and maybe fine tuning the output | 17:05 |
| definity | how can i see hwat [oprts are open | 17:06 |
| servercbe | wow!!!!! I got a lot!!! | 17:06 |
| servercbe | do I need to copy all and paste it? | 17:07 |
| === folivora_ is now known as folivora | ||
| SolarisBoy | no.. you need to look at it | 17:07 |
| SolarisBoy | dont get all hyped - its probably mostly not relevant to you - but it's a start | 17:07 |
| definity | Anyone know how i can see what ports are open in Terminal? | 17:08 |
| SolarisBoy | netstat | 17:08 |
| definity | thanks | 17:08 |
| wheatthin | netstat -a | 17:08 |
| SolarisBoy | lsof | ss | 17:08 |
| wheatthin | :) | 17:08 |
| definity | dammit, i feel stupid now, ofcourse. | 17:08 |
| SolarisBoy | dont | 17:08 |
| krzee | netstat -ln | 17:08 |

| SolarisBoy | oh nice there you go | 17:10 |
| SolarisBoy | also not neccearsily it - but its a crash of something. | 17:10 |
| subz3r0 | netstat tulpen :> | 17:10 |
| subz3r0 | i love it :P | 17:10 |
| SolarisBoy | thats not today though so bleh | 17:10 |
| SolarisBoy | i like netstat pony =) | 17:10 |
| SolarisBoy | i call it pony but it's netstat -pone | 17:11 |
| subz3r0 | yeh :P | 17:11 |
| servercbe | /var/log/Xorg.1.log:(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. | 17:11 |
| SolarisBoy | i actually see these things to co workers and it bugs then out "sure just type netstat pony." | 17:11 |
| subz3r0 | tulpen = tulips.. thats why :) | 17:12 |
| SolarisBoy | then you see some guy at the console getting some error cause they really typed pony on the terminal | 17:12 |
| servercbe | netstat? | 17:12 |
| subz3r0 | servercbe: nono.. that wasnt for you =) | 17:12 |
| servercbe | oh, ok... | 17:12 |
| SolarisBoy | i watched this one guy do "pseudo reboot" i lold | 17:12 |
| SPV2008 | I'm currently running ubuntu 13.04, although i still had the issue with ubuntu 12.10. My touchpad keeps not responding to clicks, whether it is tapping the touchpad or clicking the button. If i leave it a while, it sometimes keeps responding and if i restart the computer or log out and back in, it starts responding again. Its an old laptop (about 6-7 years old), so i think its probably a driver issue. Can anyone help? | 17:12 |
| subz3r0 | sounds like the guy whos searchin for the "any key" key :P | 17:13 |
| SolarisBoy | saw another guy have a hissy fit cause he couldn't fine the "pseudo" command.. | 17:13 |
| SolarisBoy | lol | 17:13 |
| SPV2008 | I think my clicks might be getting stuck on something and then thats interfering, but...it only stops when i log out and back in. | 17:13 |
| subz3r0 | SolarisBoy: there is a ring belling here.... maybe powertop could have something to do with my issue? | 17:13 |
| servercbe | Ok... I have class now.. I will comeback as soon as possible... Thanks! | 17:14 |
| subz3r0 | servercbe: ciao | 17:14 |
| SolarisBoy | powertop causing your issue with your webcam? | 17:14 |
| subz3r0 | lets see what happens when i run powertop with this damn cam | 17:15 |
| subz3r0 | im not exactly sure. | 17:15 |
| subz3r0 | hmm | 17:16 |
| subz3r0 | the file is gettin bigger... very slowly but .. | 17:17 |
| subz3r0 | its almost pretty amazing all the time... when i get some erros... its something special :P | 17:18 |
| subz3r0 | +r | 17:18 |
| SolarisBoy | you would probably be better off running udevadm monitor on the webcam to see what events it's starting up thats causing the logging | 17:18 |
| narcos | Hi. I'm making a setup.sh file, which will apt-get install packages, as well as wget and compile some. How can I tell the entire script to exit if at one point something fails? | 17:18 |
| narcos | Do I need to check the result code for every action? | 17:19 |
| SolarisBoy | narcos: exit <number> people generally make it non-zero | 17:19 |
| SolarisBoy | narcos: you really should @question 2 | 17:19 |
| subz3r0 | will check that tomorrow or at the weekend. im pretty done for today... 9 hours with our drill instructor for the ccna is way enuff ;) | 17:20 |
| narcos | SolarisBoy: ok | 17:20 |
| subz3r0 | now dinner then zZZzZ | 17:20 |

| subz3r0 | narcos: #bash is always a good place to idle when trying to get things done with scripts :> | 17:22 |
| SPV2008 | anyone know anywhere i can go to try to fix my problem? | 17:22 |
| SolarisBoy | narcos: that should work fine. you can reuse that function after the important parts of your script | 17:23 |
| narcos | SolarisBoy: OK cool | 17:23 |
| rhizome | SPV2008: google? if it's a driver issue then see if anybody else has a problem with the same hw you have. | 17:23 |
| narcos | subz3r0: k ta :) | 17:23 |
| bennypr0fane | hi could someone take a look at this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/305417/adobe-flash-plugin-no-full-screen My question is actually, how can a make a command-line application autostart (or get this Flash problem actually resolved, instead of that workaround)? | 17:23 |
| rhizome | SPV2008: "touchpad on old computer" isn't really very descriptive, and at any rate isn't something random people are going to go "oh hey, yeah, that's this one thing." | 17:24 |
| SolarisBoy | narcos: many ways for something like devilspie you may want to run it once the display manager is "started" | 17:24 |
| bennypr0fane | SPV2008, you gotta be inventive with the search terms | 17:24 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, were you talking to me there? | 17:25 |
| SolarisBoy | narcos: so you may want to use upstart to just spawn the command the way you need it - you can and may also be able to use rc.local to spawn the same command | 17:25 |
| SPV2008 | I've explained my issue, what more do you need me to say? | 17:25 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: yes sorry. | 17:25 |
| SPV2008 | i'll explain what you need. | 17:25 |
| bennypr0fane | bcs my question involves devilspie | 17:25 |
| SPV2008 | i've also searched on google. | 17:25 |
| SPV2008 | and no solutions at all. | 17:26 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: you gave us almost zero information | 17:26 |
| bennypr0fane | SPV2008, which terms have you tried? | 17:26 |
| ionelmc | hello | 17:26 |
| narcos | SolarisBoy: I've been learning about and using upstart this week - awesome tool | 17:26 |
| SPV2008 | I've searched for click not working ubuntu, mouse sticking ubuntu, just various terms relating to those. | 17:26 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: or did i skipped the info? Which laptop is it? | 17:26 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, just tell me the way you would know in most detail | 17:26 |
| SPV2008 | I didn't say what type of computer it was, but i explained my problem in detail. Its a Lenovo 3000 N100 | 17:26 |
| ionelmc | any idea how can i get a 3.9 kernel on precise with aufs mod without having to compile it myself ? | 17:26 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: maybe it could be important to know which pc it is | 17:27 |
| SPV2008 | I'll copy and paste my problem again if you want. | 17:27 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: i know each in detail each is super simple | 17:27 |
| SPV2008 | I'm currently running ubuntu 13.04, although i still had the issue with ubuntu 12.10. My touchpad keeps not responding to clicks, whether it is tapping the touchpad or clicking the button. If i leave it a while, it sometimes keeps responding and if i restart the computer or log out and back in, it starts responding again. Its an old laptop (about 6-7 years old), so i think its probably a driver issue. | 17:27 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, shoot | 17:27 |
| SolarisBoy | if you want to just slap it in there throw it in rc.local | 17:27 |
| SolarisBoy | if you want to do it right do it in upstart | 17:27 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: but if its a driver issue, its essential to know which hardware it is. You may want to check dmesg | 17:27 |
| bennypr0fane | whatever is safer to work | 17:27 |
| SolarisBoy | the command i'll leave to you to put together one sec ill paste you something | 17:27 |
| SPV2008 | kk. one moment. | 17:27 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774614/ | 17:28 |
| SPV2008 | Oh, hmm. it says in dmesg that its losing sync | 17:28 |
| SPV2008 | it says it lost sync at byte 1 and byte 4 | 17:28 |
| bennypr0fane | SPV2008, you should find out what specific build your hardware is. The touchpad not working, is it? | 17:28 |
| === fromulo is now known as romulobr | ||
| SolarisBoy | that is a simple one that starts my git daemon - you could literally replace the last 3 lines with one line . | 17:28 |
| SPV2008 | its partially working | 17:28 |
| SPV2008 | it seems like it occasionally sticks, or the mouse skips around the screen a bit erratically. | 17:29 |
| SPV2008 | and when it does, i have to relog to get it working again | 17:29 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: that line would be - exec su - <user> -c "devilspie" | 17:29 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: did you check to turn off the powersavemode? a friend of mine got an issue like that ages ago | 17:29 |
| SolarisBoy | fill in user with who you want to run devilspie as | 17:29 |
| SPV2008 | Where do i do that? | 17:29 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, no need for "script" and end script"? | 17:30 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: nope | 17:30 |
| === cent4urus is now known as Guest24220 | ||
| SolarisBoy | in your case i don't see why atleast | 17:30 |
| SolarisBoy | in fact i dont need it either =) | 17:30 |
| jakey1 | I am getting an error that says Error splicing file: File too large? | 17:31 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, so I insert this in upstart? | 17:31 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: now once you have that filled in - you may want to look at man-upstart-events - and get your "start on" line to start on the event emitted when your display manager has succesfully started - this way you get 'display startup invokes->devils pie run' | 17:32 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: you make that a file somewhere under /etc/init/ with the suffix .conf | 17:32 |
| === Guest98901 is now known as marahin | ||
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: i have a no english version running here... should be something like Power Settings | 17:32 |
| fm__ | ok this is happening while the machine started and was running fine. Basically the problem when I try to cd, it says "cannot create temp file for here ..." | 17:32 |
| spaghetto | list | 17:32 |
| jakey1 | anyone? | 17:32 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, so new file, not existing one? | 17:32 |
| fm__ | ok this is happening while the machine started and was running fine. Basically the problem when I try to cd, it says "cannot create temp file for here ..." | 17:32 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: for instance /etc/init/test.conf would make a service you can now manage like "start test;status test;restart test;stop test" | 17:33 |
| minidino | If I were to compile something via make on a computer running ubuntu, would it theoretically run on another computer running ubuntu? | 17:33 |
| fm__ | sorry - reposted | 17:33 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: new file | 17:33 |
| bennypr0fane | jakey1 where exactly are you getting that error, what are you trying to do in which program in which OS etc.etc..... blah | 17:33 |
| SPV2008 | I've looked at the power settings and it just has lid closing and stuff in it | 17:34 |
| jakey1 | ubuntu 12.04 copying files to a usb | 17:34 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, I need to make that executable after, yes? | 17:34 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: check your acpi settings. maybe turn it completely off and check again | 17:34 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: no | 17:34 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: its just a guess | 17:34 |
| SPV2008 | apparently...acpi isn't installed. | 17:34 |
| SPV2008 | hmm | 17:34 |
| SPV2008 | should i install it? | 17:34 |
| bennypr0fane | like sudo mkfile /etc/init/devilspie.conf? | 17:35 |
| subz3r0 | its not? hmm | 17:35 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: sudo vim /etc/init/devilspie.conf | 17:35 |
| === Sir-Litepool is now known as meelu | ||
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: then start by copy/paste the contents of that post - next edit to be correct | 17:35 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: did you check which touchpad it is(dmesg) and searched for errors of it? | 17:35 |
| bennypr0fane | what's vim? | 17:36 |
| subz3r0 | vim is an editor | 17:36 |
| subz3r0 | text editor | 17:36 |
| SPV2008 | yeah, it says it was out of sync at byte 1 and | 17:36 |
| SPV2008 | 4 | 17:36 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: no, check what vendor it is and search for issues | 17:36 |
| === meelu is now known as Sir-Litepool | ||
| bennypr0fane | subz3r0, maybe lshw to take a closer look a that touchpad? | 17:36 |
| rhizome | SPV2008: this is going back a bit, but if your touchpad isn't working, why do you search for "mouse sticking?" | 17:37 |
| subz3r0 | rhizome: good point =) | 17:37 |
| SPV2008 | it is partially working. | 17:37 |
| SPV2008 | what happens is, sometimes i'm in an app and then the click ends up not working | 17:37 |
| subz3r0 | im switchin to the kitchen all the time while preparing lunch... so did not read everything ;) | 17:37 |
| SPV2008 | the click seems to sometimes get stuck, i.e. on toggles and stuff. | 17:37 |
| SPV2008 | or drop down boxes | 17:37 |
| SPV2008 | from what i see anyway. | 17:37 |
| S23PE | I cannot make my resolution to stick in Ubuntu with internal intel graphics can anyone help? | 17:37 |
| SPV2008 | yet there's nothing wrong with the actual touchpad. | 17:37 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, turns out I don't have vim, some other editor? I'm Lubuntu 13.04 | 17:38 |
| SolarisBoy | vi | 17:38 |
| SolarisBoy | remove the m | 17:38 |
| SolarisBoy | or nano or gedit - whatever works for you | 17:38 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: check which manufacturer it is and search for issues with this product... | 17:38 |
| bennypr0fane | ah nano that's what I couldn't remember | 17:39 |
| SolarisBoy | if you use anything graphical use gksudo | 17:39 |
| SolarisBoy | i always forget nano | 17:39 |
| SolarisBoy | on purpose.. | 17:39 |
| SPV2008 | where would i look to find the manufacturer of the touchpad? | 17:39 |
| SPV2008 | i THINK its synaptics, but not entirely sure. | 17:39 |
| fm__ | hey, anyone have ideas with my system drive becoming "read-only". | 17:39 |
| fm__ | ? | 17:39 |
| bennypr0fane | I didn't know you could just create a file just by adding the path to the command | 17:40 |
| OerHeks | SPV2008, try lshw in terminal | 17:40 |
| S23PE | I am able to change resolution for my monitor but I cant make it stick.....I have tried reading about Xorg but I can't make heads or tails of it..new to Linux | 17:40 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: most of the cli text editors allow you to do this | 17:40 |
| bennypr0fane | fm__ yeah, that must be bcs you can't write :-D | 17:40 |
| === francisco is now known as Guest20683 | ||
| SolarisBoy | SPV2008: you can also try to walk the udev attributes if it's not in lshw/lspci outputs | 17:40 |
| bennypr0fane | OerHeks, maybe lshw with an option that's reduce the output for an easier search? | 17:41 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: synaptic is a package manger. with this one you can install/uninstall software... like apt-get... | 17:41 |
| rhizome | he's talking about synaptics with an 's', who is/was a touchpad manu | 17:41 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: this is on your root disk? have you tried to check the file system consistency with fsck? | 17:41 |
| SPV2008 | touchpad isn't listed. | 17:41 |
| SPV2008 | No, synaptics touchpad. Not the package manager. | 17:41 |
| SPV2008 | synaptics is a touchpad manufacturer. | 17:42 |
| fm__ | SolarisBoy: yeah root disk | 17:42 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: good to know. i know only "synaptic" :> | 17:42 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: have you run fsck against the disk? | 17:42 |
| fm__ | I thought it was a bad idea to run fsck on mounted disk - | 17:42 |
| SolarisBoy | SPV2008: you mean literally the touch pad on your laptop and not a connected device? | 17:42 |
| fm__ | SolarisBoy: should I run fsck on mounted disk | 17:42 |
| fm__ | ? | 17:42 |
| SPV2008 | Yeah. | 17:42 |
| SolarisBoy | like the way IBM's use synaptic touch pads? | 17:42 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: no you should boot into recovery mode and do it | 17:43 |
| SPV2008 | its not connected. its built into it. | 17:43 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: in fact you cant run fsck on a mounted disk | 17:43 |
| SolarisBoy | SPV2008: and it's not working? | 17:43 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, vi looks funny there's just a lot of ~~~ | 17:43 |
| fm__ | <SolarisBoy>: that is what I thought | 17:43 |
| SolarisBoy | indicative of an empty file | 17:44 |
| SPV2008 | Well, after a while the click stops working (both tapping it and the button), but it seems like it sticks in a certain part because sometimes if i move the mouse over the toggle when the click isn't working, it flips the toggle | 17:44 |
| SPV2008 | i have to relog to fix it | 17:44 |
| SPV2008 | then it happens again after a while. | 17:44 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: vi has a set of commands that govern it - you may wnt to try nano if your not familiar = if you want to take a dive | 17:44 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: type "i" to actually insert text | 17:44 |
| bennypr0fane | naaah, this is nonsense. It makes As and Bs when I press cursor keys no thanks | 17:44 |
| subz3r0 | SPV2008: "dmesg | grep pad" found my Elantech Tpichpad ETPS/2 | 17:44 |
| subz3r0 | Touch... | 17:45 |
| SPV2008 | yeah, its a synaptics touchpad. | 17:45 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: :set nocompatible most likely will fix that | 17:45 |
| bennypr0fane | using nano | 17:45 |
| fm__ | <SolarisBoy> - so when I restart - how do I get into recovery mode / | 17:45 |
| SolarisBoy | sure | 17:45 |
| SolarisBoy | the dry hump of text editors. | 17:45 |
| whoever | hi all i am try to start vmware worakstation, and i got a propt asking for the generic header location, witch i supplied. but now it is looking for c header files, where would i find those | 17:45 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: it should be a boot option | 17:45 |
| SPV2008 | model 1. daammnn, thats old. lol. | 17:45 |
| fm__ | thanks = | 17:45 |
| fm__ | trying to figure it out | 17:46 |
| whoever | because wouldn't they had already been installed with build-essentials | 17:46 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: you may also be able to append "single" to your grub.cfg line run update-grub and that should boot you into single user mode | 17:46 |
| rohanb_ | I messed up my wifi router and can't get it back :-(. I am not sue what I did. I can see the network, it tries to connect but after initilaizing the interface it disconnects, help please | 17:48 |

| === Reedy_ is now known as Reedy | ||
| rohanb_ | any suggestions for what channel may be able to help? | 17:50 |

| === average_drifter is now known as average | ||
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, what's a "dryhump" (dosn't seem to make sense for a computer program, haha)? how can I test it beforehand? | 17:51 |
| spaghetto | come chiedere la lista | 17:51 |
| SolarisBoy | its nano | 17:52 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: sudo start devilspie (or whatever you named that file - the .conf part) | 17:52 |
| bennypr0fane | rohanb_ sounds like you need to get access to the router's configuration panel | 17:52 |
| SolarisBoy | after that monitor your desktop to see if the devilspie rules are active - or just run ps auxwww and check if it is running in the background - then stop it and confirm the process is gone - test complete | 17:52 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, system monitor should list the process after I started it, right? | 17:53 |
| DJones | spaghetto: A list of what? You can download Ubuntu from www.ubuntu.com, if you're looking for a list of channels on the freenode network, please use !alis as a command | 17:53 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: ps auxwww|grep devilspie | 17:53 |
| SolarisBoy | thats probably much quicker especially right after you started it in the same terminal | 17:54 |
| bennypr0fane | oh my, I'm in a command-line-only thread again... | 17:54 |

| _userr | solarisboy thank you,. | 17:56 |
| adamk_ | CanWasp: Does 1440x900 show up as an available resolution, by default, when running 'xrandr' in a terminal window? | 17:56 |
| SolarisBoy | yw | 17:56 |
| CanWasp | adamk_: No..currently unknown monitor default is 1024x768...1440x900 only shows up after I the newmode command | 17:58 |
| adamk_ | Gotcha... So at least you know the modeline you have to use... Give me a second. | 17:58 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774714/ | 17:58 |
| adamk_ | CanWasp: What is the output name for that monitor? | 17:58 |
| CanWasp | adamk_: I dont understand your question | 17:59 |
| wheatthin | CanWasp, you can find out by issueing xrandr in console | 17:59 |
| adamk_ | CanWasp: Your monitor has name... DVI-0, HDMI-0, VGA-0, DFP1, etc... xrandr will tell you. | 17:59 |
| CanWasp | adamk_ : Ah yes sorry, it is VGA1 | 17:59 |

| z_- | had a question regarding Ubuntu 10.3. I have a Vizio Laptop ultrabook (i don't think the laptop has anything special in terms of components) and i was looking to put linux on it instead of win8 (for smoother experience and also because win8 was corrupt on arrival of the laptop). Do I have to do any special procedure to make sure everything works? Sound, wifi, etc ? | 18:01 |
| adamk_ | CanWasp: Then this should be the Monitor section of your xorg.conf file... It's likely the only section you need: http://pastebin.com/ZwB78MPt | 18:01 |
| Fonsie1990 | so i put ubuntu 12.04 on a bootable usb drive and when i try to boot from it i get the ubuntu boot/install menu but no matter what option select it reboots and wants to boot from the usb drive and keeps bringing up the menu | 18:02 |
| adamk_ | CanWasp: You can probably just take that and create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf | 18:02 |
| CanWasp | adamk_: Yes I'm that should be the only config I need...but I can't find..nor seem to be able to create an xorg.conf file | 18:02 |
| _userr | solarisboy and how to spesific just for *.txt file ? | 18:03 |
| Fonsie1990 | also, my computer does not have any OS on it right now | 18:03 |
| adamk_ | CanWasp: Just do what I said... Take those lines and create /usr/share/X1/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf | 18:04 |
| SolarisBoy | with grep recursively you can't really you can use find though | 18:04 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, why does it say "unknown job"? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774727/ | 18:05 |

| roasted | I just installed 12.04 onto a Lenovo laptop. I also installed from the repos linux-image-generic-lts-raring. This brought my kernel to 3.8.0-25, which I wanted, however I lost my wireless. I went into additional drivers and tried to (over hardwire) install Broadcom STA. It keeps failing to install. How can I get this rolling? | 18:08 |
| SolarisBoy | CanWasp: gksu | 18:08 |
| adamk_ | CanWasp: It's gksu, not gsku. | 18:08 |

| CanWasp | adamk_: gksu gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf The program 'gksu' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install gksu shaun@shaun-To-be-filled-by-O-E-M:~$ apt-get install gksu E: Could not open lock file /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 18:09 |

| Fonsie1990 | can anybody help me with ubuntu installation? | 18:11 |

| fm__ | now the graphics is messed up | 18:15 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: remove that colon from 'description: run devil's pie on startup' | 18:16 |
| SolarisBoy | and try again | 18:16 |
| fm__ | but more importantly still getting "cannot create temp file here-document: Read-only file system" | 18:16 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, or just remove the descrition entirely? | 18:16 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: no.. just dont use things that break whats expected | 18:17 |
| SolarisBoy | like colons where the delimeter is space | 18:17 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: was the fsck successful? what arguments did you use? output of df -ah ? any errors in logs? | 18:17 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: are you installing ruby using rvm? | 18:18 |
| fm__ | <SolarisBoy>: I run it in the recovery mode on boot up, so no argument passed, but said it was successful | 18:18 |
| fm__ | yes - I am using ruby rvm | 18:18 |
| fm__ | <SolarisBoy>: please note, it is 13.04 | 18:19 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: make sure your /tmp directory is (on the same mount as /, not a tmpfs or some other type of ramfs) and ensure it has permissions... | 18:19 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, what's a delimeter? | 18:20 |
| fm__ | <SolarisBoy>: I believe that is the problem, as one of the previous messages said, cannot load /tmp or something like that | 18:20 |
| fm__ | <SolarisBoy>: can you tell me how to make sure ? | 18:20 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: fix/check permissions | 18:20 |
| SolarisBoy | fm__: ls to check chmod if needed to fix | 18:20 |
| rosco_y | bennypr0fane: I usually think of delimiters as characters that define the beginning and ending of fields. | 18:21 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: some other type of ramfs) and ensure it has permissions... ( 14:20 bennypr0f ) | 18:21 |
| SolarisBoy | grr | 18:21 |
| fm__ | <SolarisBoy>: i am in temp, shows it is owned by root , permissions are 777 | 18:21 |
| fm__ | and shows t at the end... | 18:21 |
| rosco_y | For example, spreadsheets usually can export to comma-delimitted fields, and the column fields are separated by commas ','. | 18:21 |

| bennypr0fane | here we go again: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774776/ btw I can't tell from the output of that ps whether devil's pie is running or not, it's all greek to me | 18:23 |
| houkouonchi-home | jrib: because i need to free disk space (100-200GB) by uninstalling 80+ kernels that are installed and I don't want it to take hours while it re-does the grub updates for each one | 18:23 |
| houkouonchi-home | jrib: I want it to just remove them and i will manually do an update-grub after | 18:24 |
| ipfaffy | GeorgeTorwell: I wouold say probably not, but that is only a gut feeling, not an experience thing | 18:24 |
| fm__ | <SolarisBoy>: any ideas ? /tmp shows owned by root and permissions are set to 777+t | 18:24 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: do this please ls -ltrh /etc/init/devilspie.conf and let me know if you get any error | 18:24 |
| GeorgeTorwell | thats what I think too but I tried it for server edition, it refused to install grub but im wondering if thats because sda was not marked bootable | 18:24 |
| GeorgeTorwell | I thought the entire point of FDE is that the kernel and /boot are also encrypted, except for a small unencrypted bootloader used to decrypt everything else | 18:24 |
| SolarisBoy | that file should work if it's there otherwise - i hope you removed the colon - because thats breaking it if not | 18:24 |
| === alexbligh1 is now known as alexbligh | ||
| bennypr0fane | GeorgeTorwell, my gut feeling is probably yes, bcs I wouldn't expect the master boot record to be encrypted as well. again, not from experience - just a guess | 18:25 |
| houkouonchi-home | jrib what I can do now is rename the grub-mkconfig temporarily and stuff and make it run but I would really rather not do that. | 18:25 |
| GeorgeTorwell | of course the mbr can't be encrypted | 18:25 |
| jrib | houkouonchi-home: involving the kernel, I believe there are "special" hooks. Let me search; one second | 18:25 |
| Fonsie1990 | so i put ubuntu 12.04 on a bootable usb drive and when i try to boot from it i get the ubuntu boot/install menu but no matter what option select it reboots and wants to boot from the usb drive and keeps bringing up the same menu | 18:25 |
| GeorgeTorwell | but /boot should be right? otherwise an attacker can just replace your /boot with whatever he wants | 18:26 |
| houkouonchi-home | jrib: thanks | 18:26 |
| ipfaffy | bennypr0fane: that ps is only showing the grep process as running, not showing anything else called devilspie running, btw | 18:26 |

| bennypr0fane | Fonsie1990, could you describe that more precisely? what do you mean by "it want to boot from usb"? That's what you want it to do., right? | 18:36 |
| bennypr0fane | I mean if it keeps rebooting instead of executing the option you chose from the menu, that probably means the boot medium is corrupted | 18:36 |

However, when i apt-get install ntfs-3g I'm told ntfs-3g is already the newest version. What's up with that? | 18:57 |
| jrib | nado: what do you want to accomplish exactly? | 18:58 |
| nado | jimmy51_: lsmod|grep ntfs | 18:58 |

| jrib | nado: that's probably something gentoo-specific | 18:58 |
| bennypr0fane | I want to make a program named devil's pie autostart, so I created a file with these contents /etc/init/devilspie.conf | 18:59 |

| nado | jrib: upstart is a bit heavy for small script like znc or iptables | 19:00 |
| jrib | jimmy51_: it shouldn't | 19:00 |
| jimmy51_ | (should have specified... running 13.04) | 19:00 |
| jrib | nado: not sure what you mean. Upstart is how you manage services in ubuntu. If you don't want to write a proper script, then just use @reboot in crontab (znc docs advise this anyway) | 19:00 |
| bennypr0fane | I'm trying to solve this problem with devil's pie: http://askubuntu.com/questions/305417/adobe-flash-plugin-no-full-screen | 19:00 |
| nado | ok, @reboot then | 19:01 |
| jrib | jimmy51_: hash -r just refreshes your shell's knowledge about commands | 19:01 |

| === craigory is now known as Fr33BSD | ||
| jrib | ForSpareParts: I'd urge you to explain to your employer that 11.10 no longer gets security updates, it's not a good idea to stay on it | 19:20 |
| SolarisBoy | good luck with that approach | 19:21 |
| sasuke | Hi guys, | 19:21 |
| ForSpareParts | jrib, I'll point that out. Unfortunately, it's not up to me in the end -- my own machines were on 13.04 months ago. | 19:22 |
| SolarisBoy | when they support is that official ubuntu support (like with engineers from canonical or some third party that specializes in ubuntu) , is that for people who purchased some sort of support contract, or is that just in general dont ask anyone "not even people in irc channels" about EOL releases? | 19:22 |
| ForSpareParts | Do you think that this keybinding problem has anything to do with my being on 11.10? | 19:22 |
| jrib | SolarisBoy: the most important aspect is that security updates are no longer provided. Personally, I don't care if someone else wants to help someone with an eol release here as long as they explain it's eol and what that means | 19:23 |
| jrib | ForSpareParts: you might try | 19:23 |
| jrib | ForSpareParts: you might try to replicate it on 12.04 or 13.04 just to troubleshoot | 19:24 |
| sasuke | i have a file.txt which will generate in multiple servers. I need to save all the outputs in my local machine as a .csv file. Can anyone please help me on this | 19:24 |
| SolarisBoy | ForSpareParts: is your VM in 2d mode? | 19:24 |
| ForSpareParts | SolarisBoy, You know, I'm actually not sure. How would I check? | 19:25 |
| SolarisBoy | if so i think that the aero-snap thing is enabled when you go into the 3d mode atleast i believe that was my case | 19:25 |

| === thebug_ is now known as Guest15437 | ||

| noob7 | hi, does someone know if there is a way to calibrate a printer to make the printer print in the correct size? I found a cups calibrate toll but his one is only for color but not for the size/axes. | 19:35 |
| noob7 | there is a printer which will print a drawn rectangle not in the same size as drawn | 19:36 |
| th0r | noob7: unless things have changed (it has been a few years) you calibrate the software and the onscreen image to match the printer, not the other way around | 19:37 |
| sasuke | hi can anyone tell me "how do i send a output of a file "file.txt" from multiple servers to local machine as a single file as "file.csv" | 19:38 |
| noob7 | so there is no tool/modul for cups or similar, to "calibrate" the printer? I mean to set a value for the width and height? | 19:39 |

| mustmodify | So I have some crontab events... I can see them from crontab -e ... but they are failing for some reason. If memory serves me, last time I had this problem it had something to do with an environmental setting that worked when I SSHd in but wasn't around for crontab ... one event looks like this: 0 * * * * /bin/bash -l -c 'cd /home/production/www.domain.com/releases/20130617035068 && RAILS_ENV=production bundle exec rake interface:company --silent' ... ca | 19:41 |
| Ben64 | mustmodify: make a script, don't do "cd" and stuff like that in cron | 19:41 |
| jrib | mustmodify: check syslog and your mail for what cron has to say | 19:42 |
| noob7 | th0r, or do you mean by software the software I make the drawing with? couse cups is also software | 19:42 |
| mustmodify | Ben64: I didn't write that part... it was done automagically for me by a gem called 'whenever'. Is there a specific reason why that would fail? | 19:42 |
| Ben64 | mustmodify: cron doesn't work like a shell does, use a script | 19:42 |
| th0r | noob7: the cad or drawing software does the scaling, not the printer driver. At least that is how it used to work | 19:43 |

| readyjar | Using ubuntu 13.04 with gnome shell | 20:25 |
| readyjar | And using the gnome online accounts | 20:26 |
| Sirisian|Work | I know the packages system exists on the ubuntu site, but is there any other side where I can feed it a package name found with dpkg and find which package might have installed it? | 20:26 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: make it an autostart job - from the gui - type startup applications and you should be able to add one | 20:26 |
| Sirisian|Work | site* | 20:26 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, afaik that works only with GUI applications, whgich devil's pie is not | 20:26 |
| bennypr0fane | I'm running Gnome SHell btw | 20:27 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Hey all! Anyone know how to extend the guake terminal to the left and right to fill the gap from the missing decoration? | 20:27 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: then put it in rc.local | 20:27 |
| bennypr0fane | umib0zu, alright | 20:27 |
| jrib | Sirisian|Work: your question is confusing. You say you want to feed a package name and find which package installed it. Do you mean you want to find a packages dependencies? | 20:27 |
| bennypr0fane | not umib0zu , just um | 20:28 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, did you check if my script is ok now? | 20:28 |
| jrib | bennypr0fane: use startup applications like SolarisBoy first suggested | 20:28 |
| Sirisian|Work | jrib, other way around. Find out which package has it as a depedency. | 20:28 |
| dogsbonewater | hey, is there channel for mac/apple? | 20:28 |
| bennypr0fane | jrib, not possible like I said | 20:28 |
| jrib | Sirisian|Work: apt-cache rdepends PACKAGE | 20:28 |
| bennypr0fane | that's what I tried first | 20:28 |
| jrib | bennypr0fane: why is it not possible? | 20:29 |
| SolarisBoy | i'll need to convince myself that you can't run a cli app from startup apps... | 20:29 |
| Daboone72 | 26/quit | 20:29 |
| zykotick9 | Sirisian|Work: "apt-cache depends foo" or "apt-cache rdepnds foo".... or even "aptitude why foo" | 20:29 |
| SolarisBoy | but i dont want to reboot to test it | 20:29 |
| jrib | bennypr0fane: startup applications is not somehow limited to gui applications | 20:29 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, if you find how to do it, please tell me | 20:29 |
| bennypr0fane | I'll try and test it | 20:29 |
| bennypr0fane | I looked in Gnome settings | 20:30 |
| dogsbonewater | mothberfuuuck gnome | 20:30 |
| dogsbonewater | is there mac apple chanel | 20:30 |
| jrib | !language | dogsbonewater | 20:30 |
| ubottu | dogsbonewater: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 20:30 |
| zykotick9 | SolarisBoy: most terminals have a switch to run something, like "xterm -e foo.sh" or similar | 20:30 |
| dogsbonewater | im ask question , answer? | 20:30 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: yea go to startup applications - go to browse - find/select devils pie and fill in the other info | 20:30 |
| jrib | !alis | dogsbonewater | 20:30 |
| ubottu | dogsbonewater: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 20:30 |
| dogsbonewater | tnx.. | 20:30 |
| SolarisBoy | name/description there is nothing else it needs or would prevent it from running | 20:30 |
| readyjar | Ubuntu 13.04 using Gnome shell, can't add online accounts and notifications always says im offline | 20:30 |
| readyjar | Whats up with that | 20:30 |
| SolarisBoy | zykotick9: indeed they do | 20:30 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: another thing which may be your issue is as stated the devilspie command is expecting files that end in *.ds in some locations - do you have them? | 20:31 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, startup applications must have a different name in my GUI, which is in german | 20:31 |
| bennypr0fane | no idea | 20:31 |
| SolarisBoy | cant help you there i only speak ruby other than english | 20:31 |
| bennypr0fane | where would I look for those | 20:31 |
| SolarisBoy | i typed "startup" and it pops up | 20:32 |
| Sirisian|Work | thanks jrib. | 20:32 |
| SolarisBoy | maybe type the german equiv? | 20:32 |
| SolarisBoy | svartup | 20:32 |
| SolarisBoy | svartenuppen or whatever | 20:32 |

| BiosHazard | Hi guys, a question, when I start a program by ssh using "ssh <name>@<addr> <program> > /dev/null 2> /dev/null" an ssh session will stay open. I can terminate it without the program terminating. Is there a way to start the program without the ssh staying open? | 20:34 |
| bennypr0fane | if I press "add" I get a dialog with "name", "command" and "comment" | 20:34 |
| === phaidros_ is now known as phaidros | ||
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: correct | 20:34 |
| SolarisBoy | your in the right place | 20:35 |
| bennypr0fane | "command" opens a file manger window to search for the devil's pie executable, I guess? or the .conf file that I made? | 20:35 |
| benedikt | if i run ubuntu with a non-standard window manager (xmonad), does this circumvent the spyware in ubuntu? | 20:35 |
| bennypr0fane | benedikt, I think the best way to avoid that is to remove it | 20:35 |
| zykotick9 | BiosHazard: i'm not sure what your asking, but would tmux or screen help? | 20:35 |
| benedikt | burbankboy: | 20:35 |
| benedikt | bennypr0fane: how does one remove it? | 20:36 |
| jrib | benedikt: there isn't spyware so not sure what you mean | 20:36 |
| Slart | benedikt: what spyware are you talking about? the amazon plugin thingy? | 20:36 |
| bennypr0fane | benedikt, there are plenty of how to's e.g. on youtube just google it. It shouldn't be a big deal | 20:36 |
| benedikt | jrib: yes there is. the unity menyu sends your searches to (at least amazon) and you give canonical the right to share this data with facebook (amongst others). you have to opt out, hence it is spyware | 20:36 |
| benedikt | bennypr0fane: right, thanks | 20:37 |
| floogy | Hi, how can I test that my nic is enabled for WOL? | 20:37 |
| jrib | benedikt: that's not spyware, but see ubottu and yes, if you aren't using dash (you aren't), then you won't interact with it | 20:37 |
| jrib | !adlens | benedikt | 20:37 |
| ubottu | benedikt: If you wish not to see "More Suggestions" from places like Amazon in your Ubuntu 12.10, simply remove the package unity-lens-shopping, or adjust your Privacy settings as shown here: http://goo.gl/kFO4u . Mark Shuttleworth's blog entry on this is at http://goo.gl/uF7zZ | 20:37 |
| nado | BiosHazard: yes, tell your application go directly in background | 20:38 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, do I look for the devil's pie executable or point it to the script that I made? | 20:38 |
| nado | BiosHazard: '<program> &' | 20:38 |
| MonkeyDust | highlight spyware | 20:38 |
| BiosHazard | Well, my problem is, I use a bash script to start about 20 nodes across a small network (it's a distributed system). When I just use ssh as I would manually, ps aux | grep ssh shows an active ssh process for every started node. Node if I just terminate those 20 processes, the nodes stay active. Now I was wondering if there is a simple way to have the ssh connection terminate after starting the program... | 20:38 |
| benedikt | jrib: that is what spyware is. both the EFF and FSF have made serious complaints | 20:38 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: make it the output of which devilspie | 20:38 |
| jrib | benedikt: does ubottu's response answer your question? | 20:38 |
| nado | BiosHazard: yes, background your applications will let ssh close | 20:39 |
| bennypr0fane | /usr/bin/devilspie | 20:39 |
| SolarisBoy | bennypr0fane: open a terminal and type which devilspie - copy and paste the returned data into that area then | 20:39 |
| BiosHazard | Yea, I use "ssh <name>@<addr> <program> > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &" but the connection stays open, still :/ | 20:39 |
| BiosHazard | or does the & go before the stream redirects? | 20:39 |
| nado | BiosHazard: because & is locally, you need to add ' or " to tell & being on the ssh server | 20:39 |
| BiosHazard | Ooooh !! that sounds about right, let me try :D | 20:40 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, ok, done. but then I don't need that script in /etc/init, right? Should I delete thaT? | 20:40 |
| zykotick9 | nado: i think BiosHazard needs to relacate that & as well... but i'm guessing this won't work. | 20:41 |
| MonkeyDust | benedikt if this so called "spy ware"-like issue worries you: system settings > privacy | 20:41 |
| benedikt | MonkeyDust: it worries me that my operating system has privacy settings. but ubuntu is the best linux distro imo, if i look at it with a utilitaries and techinical view. | 20:42 |
| nado | zykotick9: indeed, enclose with ' and relocate the & | 20:42 |

| jrib | benedikt, bennypr0fane, MonkeyDust: please if you want to discuss the semantics of spyware, use #ubuntu-offtopic. It's worthy of discussion, but it's not a support issue | 20:43 |

| kcherkashin | Hi Guys, I have a weird question, not sure what would be the best channel for it: I have two files, first has 30k words, one on each line, the second one has translations. The bad thing is that one line in first file can have one or more lines in the second file so the file has 50k lines. What would be the best way to restore line to line relationship? | 20:47 |
| readyjar | Notifications tab under my user name always says im off line. WhY?? | 20:47 |
| UTF-8 | bennypr0fane, grazie, ciao | 20:47 |
| bennypr0fane | SolarisBoy, see my last question? I'm wondering if I should delete that script in /etc/init | 20:48 |
| Winnie^ | SolarisBoy: in this case it's the same ip address. i can see it in my access.logs i know that they probably have several ips but it's not the case atm | 20:48 |
| wilee-nilee | ncmcxx, What is the windows release? | 20:48 |
| wilee-nilee | and how did you install? | 20:49 |
| bennypr0fane | I gotta starting doing my how-to searches in German first. that way the answers should also contain the GUI terms in German... | 20:49 |
| Slart | kcherkashin: how do you know if a translation in the second file is one or two lines? | 20:49 |
| BiosHazard | kcherkashin: is there a way to determine where a translation ends? Or any other way to know how many lines of the second file belong to a word in the first file? | 20:50 |
| kcherkashin | BiosHazard: Slart: That's the problem, there is no way to figure this out, but to look it up in the dictionary | 20:50 |
| Winnie^ | SolarisBoy: they ignore the robots.txt, this was my first try to get the rid of them...so 2. try is to collect and ban their ips :/ | 20:50 |
| Slart | kcherkashin: then you might as well lookup every word in the first file and put that in a new translation file | 20:51 |
| BiosHazard | Slart: that's what I was gonna say xP | 20:51 |
| readyjar | Does 13.04 support dual boot? | 20:52 |
| Slart | BiosHazard: =) | 20:52 |

| Slart | kcherkashin: ok, it looks like there really isn't anything that tells you if two lines might belong together.. I think you'll have to do this manually.. unfortunately | 20:58 |
| kcherkashin | Slart: That's what I was afraid of. Maybe could be possible to use some dictionary API, so we can at least separate the words it knows? | 20:59 |
| Slart | kcherkashin: perhaps.. I don't know if google exposes their translation api but it might be worth looking into | 20:59 |

| === andrea is now known as Guest46439 | ||
| kcherkashin | Another questions, if I'd have to do that manually | 21:01 |
| kcherkashin | Is there a way to translate a file with 30k words? | 21:02 |
| Guest46439 | google translate? :D | 21:02 |
| Slart | kcherkashin: I would say use python with that google translate library.. you'll have to check the translations manually of course if you're going to depend on it being correct | 21:04 |
| kcherkashin | Slart: I'm pretty sure it'll be slow over the network, and will have a limit on amour of words I can translate per given interval | 21:04 |
| Slart | kcherkashin: will it be slower than doing it manually? | 21:05 |
| kcherkashin | Slart: Maybe I'm missing something, but since there is no 100% guarantee that words from second file will be in google translate result, it may require a lot of headache with the script manual check afterwards, so I'm not sure. It's something to consider though for sure | 21:07 |

| DS-labs | Hi guys Ubuntu seriously keeps overheating my Laptop like crazy I installed lm-sensors and it shows temp6: +127.0°C (crit = +128.0°C) | 21:09 |
| Winnie^ | i would not mind if have not a ubuntu related problem with ufw :) | 21:09 |
| DS-labs | any good way to find out which chip is temp6 | 21:10 |
| Slart | DS-labs: 127 degrees seems a bit.. on the high side.. is it really warm? or just a weird temperature reading? | 21:11 |
| DS-labs | it's quite warm but I higly doubt it's over a 100 | 21:11 |
| Dark_light | Anyone experiencing random kernel panics on 13.04 ? I have a pretty standard laptop with sandy bridge and intel graphics, on other distros I don't have this issue | 21:11 |
| DS-labs | I think the 70°C are closer | 21:11 |
| Slart | DS-labs: sometimes you find people who knows how the laptops are made and decides to share that knowledge.. most of the time you're just guessing | 21:12 |
| Winnie^ | DS-labs: sure thats i celsius and not fahrenheit? | 21:12 |
| DS-labs | .......yes | 21:12 |
| DS-labs | I think the °C in the reading KIIIINDA gives it away | 21:12 |
| DS-labs | @Slart that's why I want to find out which chip is temp6 so I could check | 21:13 |
| MonkeyDust | DS-labs 127, so a drop of water should immediately vaporize... unlikely | 21:13 |
| BiosHazard | Are you sure that's the actual temperature, not only an error in a one byte temp sensor? | 21:13 |
| Slart | DS-labs: it might be that lm-sensors *thinks* it's in celsius when it's really in farenheit.. 120-ish degrees farenheit does seem more reasonable | 21:13 |
| Punch | Dont want to spam the chat, so link = http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2155208 | 21:13 |

| DS-labs | temp5: +29.0°C (crit = +128.0°C) | 21:14 |
| DS-labs | temp6: +127.0°C (crit = +128.0°C) | 21:14 |
| BiosHazard | DS-labs: Are you sure that's the actual temperature, not only an error in a one byte temp sensor? At 120°C wouldn't the case already be melting? :/ | 21:14 |
| DS-labs | aliminium casing | 21:14 |

| Winnie^ | who :) | 21:15 |
| readyjar | It's only 20 degrees C over boiling :) | 21:15 |
| DS-labs | boiling point of water | 21:16 |
| Dark_light | probably not but I'm pretty sure a cpu burns at 127 C | 21:16 |
| DS-labs | which also depends on pressure | 21:16 |
| DS-labs | the boiling point of water that is | 21:16 |
| Slart | DS-labs: I think we can all agree that your computer isn't 120 degrees anywhere... why some software claims this is another question | 21:16 |
| DS-labs | I didn't say it was | 21:16 |
| DS-labs | my original question was and still is | 21:16 |
| DS-labs | is there a way to check what temp6 equals which chip it is | 21:16 |
| Punch | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2155208 | 21:17 |
| DS-labs | thank you Punch | 21:17 |
| Slart | DS-labs: I would ask the manufacturer.. send an email to some support-address, ask in a forum or something like that | 21:17 |
| BiosHazard | Yea, open the thing, and touch the chips. The one where you get a burn blister is t6 :P | 21:17 |
| readyjar | Power it off for a night. Check to see what the sensor says right after powering on | 21:18 |
| DS-labs | sigh.... how about I just look in the conf file? | 21:18 |
| DS-labs | I feel almost like this was not a linux community | 21:19 |
| readyjar | DS-labs is uber 1337 | 21:19 |
| MonkeyDust | DS-labs it's because 127°C is just too improbable | 21:19 |
| DS-labs | and I said that I also think it's a bug | 21:19 |
| lukecarrier | this channel can be super flamey sometimes | 21:19 |
| DS-labs | and my question was NOT weather it's probable | 21:20 |
| DS-labs | or if it is 127 | 21:20 |
| Dark_light | DS-labs: temperatures are taken by the coretemp module there's no conf file also if you're on 3.7 (for some reason) there's a bug in coretemp it always report higher temperatures than normal I'm not sure if it's in 3.8 too | 21:20 |
| DS-labs | but there is a conf file that tells the sensors in which order to display info | 21:20 |
| Dark_light | sure but then you could just look in /proc | 21:21 |
| Dark_light | sorry I meant | 21:21 |
| Dark_light | / sys | 21:21 |
| DS-labs | aye | 21:21 |
| DS-labs | and thus we conclude my original question | 21:21 |
| DS-labs | what a joy ride it has been | 21:21 |

| Dark_light | DS-labs: honestly if you don't even know there's a module that reads the temps and where to find them you're going to have issues no matter what distro you use, my suggestion for now would be check the temps in /sys and if they are actually reported that high try a kernel from the mainline ppa or just build a recent (3.9.x) one yourself | 21:25 |
| vjacob | anyone with an idea where I might ask my question about /dev/random if not here? | 21:26 |

| jswagner | vjacob: it's not distro specific, so any general "linux" support room would be the right place | 21:27 |

| DS-labs | and when have I said any of that for fuck sake are you illiterate I had a simple question which nobody was unable to answer and in the end I found my own solution because most of you fuckwits were too busy explaining how 127 seems improbable something that I stated originally and never considered a real problem | 21:28 |

| MonkeyDust | DS-labs for future reference: how did you find what was the cause? | 21:30 |
| Dark_light | DS-labs: regarding your issue try what I said, in my opinion it's likely to be a coretemp issue | 21:30 |

| vjacob | Dark_light, "���^Cu�!5^���1" | 21:31 |
| vjacob | Slart: urandom | 21:31 |
| vjacob | it works | 21:31 |

| Guest25062 | Pardon me' but is there a way to get Proxy setting set before the Install? | 21:32 |
| Slart | vjacob: /dev/urandom gives you pseudorandom numbers... ie calculated.. but it's much much faster.. /dev/random gives you better random numbers but it can only give you such many numbers before it has to gather more entropy.. so you get one number every second or so. | 21:32 |
| Dark_light | vjacob: do this dd if=/dev/random of=test bs=100 | 21:32 |
| nibbler | sometimes i cannot suspend via the menu, but have to "sudo pm-suspend" - what might be the reason? | 21:33 |
| vjacob | Slart, aye... "<binaryhermit> /dev/random runs out of entropy and stops outputting random randomness? /dev/urandom doesn't care if it runs out of entropy." | 21:33 |

| vjacob | Dark_light, Slart : thank you | 21:33 |
| nibbler | sasuke: did you try to supply -vvv to increase verbosity? | 21:33 |
| Slart | vjacob: combine this with the fact that dd only writes stuff when it has gathered something like 128 bytes or so you won't see anything right away.. but if you let it run for a while the file will get created | 21:33 |
| Slart | vjacob: you're welcome | 21:34 |

| lolo | Hi I am using ubuntu from livecd, and want to check for a file in a ntfs volume (just to open it), but I want to be sure to mount the partition in read only, do you know if it's possible from nautilus ? (for now, if I click mount it mounts it with read/write permission) | 21:34 |
| vjacob | nibbler, I try to do as little as possible of that ;) | 21:34 |
| nibbler | sasuke: verbosity will not make things work, but it might tell you why they dont | 21:34 |
| _Ace_ | sasuke: what error are you getting | 21:34 |
| sasuke | nibbler, its saying "no route to host" | 21:35 |
| Slart | lolo: I've never mounted a ntfs volume as read only.. but I would start by checking man mount | 21:35 |
| Slart | lolo: but I doubt you can do it from nautilus | 21:35 |
| nibbler | sasuke: nah.... please nopaste the scp, ssh and "ip r" and "ip a" output and maybe "iptables -n -L -v" | 21:35 |

| silare | How do I know what version of Gtk I am running? | 21:37 |
| canin | I can't burn any of these ISO backups I have, every single piece of software on linux seems to either make a coaster, or refuses to burn these ISOs, I know they're good, I can burn and mount them in windows. Is there seriously not a single program that will just raw burn a raw binary image? | 21:38 |
| DS-labs | silare: pkg-config --modversion gtk+ | 21:38 |
| jswagner | canin: i doubt they are all identically flawed | 21:39 |
| silare | DS-labs: "No package 'gtk+' found" o_O | 21:39 |

| Slart | canin: I've never had any problems burning cd's or dvd's in linux.. might be a problem with the linux and your hardware.. I doubt it's the burning software | 21:39 |
| silare | DS-labs: Weird... because I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 (Unity). o_O Which I think is using Gtk. | 21:39 |
| canin | They're raw data, dd + hash check = they're fine, but nothign will burn them becuse they're not standard dvds | 21:39 |
| DS-labs | oooh | 21:39 |
| DS-labs | then | 21:39 |
| DS-labs | pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 | 21:39 |
| Dark_light | canin: can you mount them in linux ? mount -o loop img.iso /mnt | 21:39 |

| silare | Ohh. got it. I tried that command with gtk+-3.0 and it worked. xD THanks! | 21:40 |
| DS-labs | no problem | 21:40 |
| canin | I can burn regular dvds but everything refuses to burn these isos because they analyze them and screw up... all i want is a raw burn | 21:40 |
| nibbler | sneex: during ubuntu install you can define a proxy, yes | 21:40 |
| Jordan_U | canin: What is the source of this "raw data"? | 21:41 |

| HeyMan7-Cloud | Here is the terminal error - http://pastie.org/8053410 | 21:46 |
| Slart | arooni-mobile: do you want it to wake your computer up at 6 or do you want the job to run when it wakes up and realises that a task is overdue | 21:46 |
| HisaoNakai | God damn it, it just dropped again. | 21:46 |

| canin | cdrecord and wodim does not work either, cannot write medium - incompatible format.... WHY CAN'T I WRITE RAW DATA? There's gotta be a way, I can in mac and windows with some programs | 21:50 |

| Sirisian|Work | Remind me again. Why is app armor installed by default on ubuntu server? Seems like 90% of the servers I've ever logged into manually uninstall it. | 21:51 |

| Dark_light | HisaoNakai: lspci -k | grep Net -A 2 what does it say ? | 21:51 |
| k1l | HeyMan7-Cloud: 3rd party package repositories | 21:52 |
| canin | Dark_light: 326236.iso just numbers, I think it's actually a bin but names .iso jsut because when it was being used in windows the program just appended the .iso | 21:52 |
| MonkeyDust | Sirisian|Work it's switched on by default, so it's the user's own choice and responability to switch it off | 21:52 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | k1l: Then I dunno. How do you check? | 21:52 |
| k1l | ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 21:52 |
| HisaoNakai | wheatthin and HeyMan7-Cloud: Wifi signal strength is 2 bars and the dot. | 21:53 |
| Dark_light | canin: use bchunk, bchunk file.bin file.cue file.iso | 21:53 |
| Jordan_U | Sirisian|Work: Because it adds security. I'd say that unless those admins replaced it with selinux or similar that they were being irresponsible to just disable it. | 21:53 |

| HisaoNakai | oh god damn it. okay, I'll just run that | 22:07 |
| Shehrazad | Nope, Slart. | 22:07 |
| Shehrazad | It doesn't allow me to input new commands anyway. | 22:07 |
| Shehrazad | Hence, no exit command that I know of. | 22:07 |
| Slart | Shehrazad: what program are you trying to run? | 22:08 |
| Shehrazad | MonkeyDust, how did you start irssi in the first place then? | 22:08 |
| Shehrazad | Tried it with gedit | 22:08 |
| Shehrazad | Just opened a terminal and typed a gedit. | 22:08 |
| ewi_ | noted... exit | 22:08 |
| Slart | Shehrazad: so you run "gedit &" and then you should get a new prompt (or press enter to refresh it) then type exit | 22:08 |
| Shehrazad | Slart, you don't get it. | 22:08 |
| Shehrazad | I am trying to find a solution AFTER I don't use ampersand in the command. | 22:09 |
| Dark_light | well then there's no way to do it | 22:09 |
| MonkeyDust | Shehrazad screen -S FREENODE irssi | 22:09 |
| Slart | Shehrazad: ahh.. and you really want to keep that program running | 22:09 |
| Dark_light | you can pause it with ctrl-z | 22:09 |
| ewi_ | you could use an ascii code for the ampersand? | 22:09 |
| Shehrazad | Yes. | 22:09 |
| Shehrazad | Pause, hmm? | 22:09 |
| Slart | ctrl Z then %1& and then exit | 22:09 |
| Shehrazad | Lemme try that as well. | 22:09 |
| Dr_willis | screen should remain in thebackground if you use exit or close button. | 22:10 |
| Dr_willis | you just reconnect to the screen session. | 22:10 |
| Slart | Shehrazad: ctrl Z pauses the program, %1 & starts the paused program again but now with & and then we're on track again | 22:10 |
| MonkeyDust | Shehrazad https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen | 22:10 |
| Dr_willis | or.. 'command &' ctrl-z, then 'bg' if you want it to run in the background. | 22:10 |
| Dr_willis | then 'fg' to reconnect.. but still. you dont want to close the terminal window. | 22:11 |
| Shehrazad | Slart, it returns "bash: bg: %1: no such job" | 22:11 |

| Slart | Shehrazad: and then you type %1 & | 22:12 |
| Dr_willis | Shehrazad, just 'bg' should let gedit continue. i belive | 22:13 |
| Slart | Shehrazad: and you get that error you mentioned? | 22:13 |
| Shehrazad | And it returned an error. | 22:13 |
| Shehrazad | Yes. | 22:13 |
| Shehrazad | But will it let me close terminal Dr_willis? | 22:13 |
| Slart | Shehrazad: try the 'bg' thingy Dr_willis suggested then.. I'm not sure what the problem might be with my way | 22:13 |
| canin | reisio: No USB support, only DVD images can be used... too big for CD | 22:13 |
| Dr_willis | canin, i belive the 'cdrecord' command can do it. | 22:13 |
| reisio | good times | 22:14 |
| reisio | if it's rw you could use dd | 22:14 |
| Dr_willis | I havent even used an optical disk in ages... | 22:14 |
| Shehrazad | OK, solved! | 22:14 |
| Shehrazad | I pressed ctrl+Z, typed bg and voila! | 22:14 |
| reisio | Dr_willis: twss | 22:14 |
| Dr_willis | not since Dual-Layer DVD's were like $1 a pop. ;) i still got a 10 pack that i never was able to burn properly | 22:14 |
| Shehrazad | Many thanks to everyone who helped! | 22:14 |
| MonkeyDust | Shehrazad now type fg | 22:14 |
| Dr_willis | Shehrazad, fg brings it back to the terminal --> bash job control fundamentals ----> http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/features_5.html | 22:15 |
| Shehrazad | Why is that MonkeyDust? | 22:15 |
| Dr_willis | example ussage 'scp file' then ctrl-z, bg to let it run in the background... | 22:15 |
| Dr_willis | then 'fg' to bring it back front. | 22:16 |
| Dr_willis | back TO the front. ;P | 22:16 |
| wheatthin | front ground :P | 22:16 |
| Shehrazad | Noted. | 22:16 |
| Dr_willis | This is covered in most decent bash guides under job controll. bash history is also a very handy feature to learn about | 22:16 |
| Shehrazad | Have a celebratory cat: http://i.imgur.com/L8OOT.jpg | 22:17 |
| Dr_willis | but if you are really doing a lot of bash-work.. screen and tmux are worth learning | 22:17 |
| * Dr_willis eats the cat. | 22:17 | |
| HisaoNakai | Dark_light:: Hello? | 22:17 |
| Draxelis | hi guys. my chrome keeps giving various crash messages. So, now I'm thinking about trying chromium browser instead. is it any good? it used to be slowly updated, has anything changed? | 22:18 |
| kant_ | hi guys, is there a way to get default /etc/apt/sources.list back for a given distribution? I'm on 12.04 LTS | 22:18 |
| Dark_light | HisaoNakai: holdon | 22:18 |
| Dr_willis | !find sources.list | 22:19 |
| ubottu | File sources.list found in anjuta-common, apt, auto-upgrade-tester, blends-dev, cloud-init, crosshurd, debtags, di-netboot-assistant, fai-doc, fai-server (and 3 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=sources.list&mode=&suite=raring&arch=any | 22:19 |
| kant_ | ubottu: thanks! | 22:19 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 22:19 |
| Dr_willis | theres a web site that can generate a new one kant_ - but i always back mine up :) | 22:20 |
| reisio | backing up ftw | 22:20 |
| reisio | get thee to a backupery | 22:20 |
| Shehrazad | !botsnack | 22:21 |
| ubottu | Yum! Err, I mean, APT! | 22:21 |
| Dark_light | HisaoNakai: iwconfig ? | 22:21 |
| reisio | !botseppuku | 22:21 |
| Draxelis | chrome vs chromium! Which one would you recommend? | 22:22 |
| wheatthin | chrome, as it's stable and gets the latest stable | 22:22 |
| Slart | Draxelis: try asking the channel, type !poll =) | 22:22 |
| reisio | chromium, as this isn't Windows | 22:22 |
| cjosephson | google chrome doesn't do anything when I click .wav files. I'd like them to play in the browser, like .mp3 and other media files. The main VLC player I have installed can play .wav fine. | 22:22 |
| Draxelis | !poll chrome vs chromium | 22:22 |
| ubottu | Draxelis: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:22 |
| Draxelis | :D | 22:22 |
| Slart | !poll | Draxelis | 22:23 |
| ubottu | Draxelis: 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. | 22:23 |
| wheatthin | lol | 22:23 |
| reisio | ubottu: 'cept there usually is :p | 22:23 |
| Slart | Draxelis: didn't know ubottu was going to act up =) | 22:23 |
| wheatthin | let's just say chrome comes with flash built in | 22:23 |
| reisio | you can probably have VLC play them as a plugin | 22:23 |
| cjosephson | but I have the VLC plugin installed | 22:23 |
| wheatthin | :) | 22:23 |
| cjosephson | and it plays .mp3 | 22:23 |
| cjosephson | but nothing happens when I click on .wav files | 22:23 |
| Draxelis | does chromium support the same chrome extensions? do bookmarks, history, extensions etc etc sync well on chromium? | 22:24 |
| Dark_light | Draxelis: yes | 22:24 |
| HisaoNakai | You've gotta be kidding me. I should have seen this coming... | 22:25 |
| HisaoNakai | My flash drive just died. | 22:25 |
| Draxelis | the same flash performance on chrome and chromium? | 22:25 |
| Dark_light | some are not installed by default though, but can be used (pepper flash and the pdf plugin) | 22:25 |
| cjosephson | the pdf plugin in chromium has been a pain the past few times I tried it | 22:26 |
| MonkeyDust | Draxelis they do | 22:26 |
| kostkon | Draxelis, if you want a better otb experience go with chrome, if you want more privacy go with chromium | 22:26 |
| ThothCastel | if If I create a standard user in linux and add her to the 'admin' group, will he automatically be added to the sudoers file? what are the limitations of this admin user? | 22:27 |
| Draxelis | hm, ye I dont like what's going on with the whole prism stuff | 22:27 |
| Draxelis | installing chromium via ubuntu software center is ok? | 22:27 |
| Draxelis | or should i download it via site? | 22:28 |
| MonkeyDust | people who are worried about their privacy, shouldnt use facebook and the lot | 22:28 |
| Draxelis | it's not that super worried but it just feels wrong | 22:28 |
| Dr_willis | google chrome's deb from their site adds their PPA i belive | 22:29 |
| Draxelis | Dr_willis, so downloading chromium via ubuntu center is fine? | 22:29 |
| lluad | Anyone know how to fix the long delay at boot "waiting up to 60 more seconds for network configuration" bug in 12.04LTS? | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | enabling their PPA will let you get it from the software center.. | 22:30 |
| OerHeks | if you install solitairy packages trough websites, you won't get updates. | 22:30 |
| HisaoNakai | result of iwconfig: http://pastebin.com/6YJtcFtV | 22:30 |
| Draxelis | will it update when I check for ubuntu updates? Dr_willis | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | unless the package adds its own ppa | 22:30 |
| cjosephson | the brower does nothing when I click on a .wav file. It doesn't even try to download it. I'd like it to play in-browser. Any suggestions? | 22:30 |
| Dr_willis | IF it adds a PPA = YES Draxelis thats whats special about google-chrome and a few other apps. | 22:30 |
| iceroot | will everything from proposed be part of the main/updates repos later? or are there packages which will be only on proposed all the time and not going to main/updates? | 22:30 |
| vadi | What does this mean: W: Failed to fetch http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/ubuntu/archive/dists/precise-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages 406 Not Acceptable | 22:30 |
| Draxelis | Dr_willis, ye I know, but I'm talking about chromium and not chrome :) | 22:31 |
| gordonjcp | MonkeyDust: meh | 22:31 |
| Dr_willis | Draxelis, chromium has a PPA and is avail in the default repos.. if you want the latest. use the ppa | 22:31 |
| iceroot | vadi: An appropriate representation of the requested resource /pub/ubuntu/archive/dists/precise-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages could not be found on this server. | 22:31 |
| Draxelis | ok will download it via ubuntu software center | 22:31 |
| vadi | So the mirror broke? | 22:31 |
| iceroot | vadi: the Packages file is missing, there is just the Packages.gz to there is something wrong with the repo | 22:32 |
| Draxelis | is software on ubuntu center updated? or is it updated only with new ubuntu release? | 22:32 |
| vadi | Should I report that anywhere? | 22:32 |
| MonkeyDust | iceroot the site is not or no longer valid http://mirror.aarnet.edu.au/pub/ubuntu/archive/dists/precise-security/main/binary-amd64/Packages | 22:32 |
| Dr_willis | !precise | 22:32 |

| gordonjcp | MonkeyDust: I tend to view people who say things like "ZOMG I don't do facebook/twitter/online shopping/going outside because ZOMG MY PRIVACY!!1111111!!!!!!1!!" as being a bit like that woman you sometimes see wandering around town in the urine-stained velour pyjamas screaming "STOP STARING AT ME!" at the pigeons | 22:32 |
| iceroot | vadi: report it to the maintainer of that repo (its not an official ubuntu repo and not supported here) | 22:32 |
| Dark_light | HisaoNakai: sorry I have to go now,I'm sure someone will help you out ;) | 22:32 |
| vadi | Yes, it is an official ubuntu repo... | 22:32 |
| vadi | I got it from selecting it in Ubuntus repo list. | 22:33 |
| Dr_willis | gordonjcp, that was no woman.. that was my wife! | 22:33 |
| iceroot | vadi: could you paste the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" please | 22:33 |
| iceroot | !paste | vadi | 22:33 |
| ubottu | vadi: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. | 22:33 |

| iceroot | vadi: i cant imaging that are official ubuntu repos | 22:35 |
| wheatthin | unofficial ppa's :) | 22:35 |
| cjosephson | Totem seems to have a bug in playing certain files that require authorization to listen to. This stinks... | 22:35 |
| iceroot | vadi: they are named normally de.archive.ubuntu.com or us.archive.ubuntu.com or something like that | 22:35 |
| Draxelis | if Install flash via ubuntu center, will it work on chromium? | 22:35 |
| wheatthin | Draxelis, yup | 22:35 |
| vadi | OK, but Ubuntu included it | 22:35 |
| iceroot | Draxelis: no | 22:35 |
| HisaoNakai | Someone else please help, I can't keep a connection to my WiFi. Here's iwconfig run: http://pastebin.com/6YJtcFtV and lspci -k: https://mega.co.nz/#!mV4DhDwZ!HEEGqyQ80LAorVqvNw9YZnWomjxdXYGILXbIk0jDJJU | 22:36 |
| vadi | and auto-selected it when I asked it to pick closest mirror | 22:36 |
| iceroot | Draxelis: because chrome has it own flash player | 22:36 |
| vadi | Oh well | 22:36 |
| Draxelis | i mean chormium not chrome | 22:36 |
| Draxelis | :D | 22:36 |
| wheatthin | iceroot, he wants to use chromium, it doesn't | 22:36 |
| iceroot | wheatthin: i am sure chromium also has its own flashplayer but ok maybe i am wrong | 22:36 |
| wheatthin | nope | 22:36 |
| Draxelis | it doesnt look like chromium syncs with existing chrome extensions | 22:36 |
| wheatthin | Draxelis, flash isn't an extension, it's just built in | 22:37 |
| wheatthin | on chrome that is | 22:37 |
| ewi_ | HisaoNakai: are you sure it's your wi-fi connection and not your gateway connection? | 22:37 |
| Draxelis | I know, that's was my other question/statement | 22:37 |
| Draxelis | :) | 22:37 |
| HisaoNakai | Every other computer connected to the gateway works, ewi_, | 22:38 |
| ewi_ | create a new user HisaoNakai and see if the problem persists | 22:38 |
| Draxelis | are you sure that chromium syncs extensions that were installed on chrome? | 22:38 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | Flash works for chromium, you just need to use adobe's website. Not ubuntu software center | 22:38 |
| wheatthin | yup | 22:38 |
| Pinkamena_D | wheatthin, yes I am talking about compiz | 22:39 |
| HeyMan7-Cloud | It does Draxelis | 22:39 |
| wheatthin | Draxelis, just gotta login, and might have to kick start it | 22:39 |
| wheatthin | Pinkamena_D, then you'd be looking at ccsm or something like that | 22:39 |
| Draxelis | Ye, all synced but extensions | 22:39 |
| wheatthin | Draxelis, they will, it just takes time | 22:39 |
| Draxelis | ok cool | 22:39 |
| Pinkamena_D | what do you mean? | 22:39 |
| SuperLag | How do you work with glipper? I've got it installed, but I'm not sure how to start it or use it. | 22:40 |
| Draxelis | yes flash works | 22:40 |
| Draxelis | i installed via USC | 22:40 |
| SuperLag | It'd be nice to be able to have multiple items on a clipboard and not have to continuously repeat copy/paste operations | 22:40 |
| wheatthin | Pinkamena_D, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion | 22:40 |
| Draxelis | so far, chormium looks very good | 22:40 |
| HisaoNakai | ewi_: I"ve created a new account, going to test now. For all purposes and to make me look like even more of an otaku, it is named hakamichishizune. | 22:41 |
| ewi_ | run glipper SuperLag and it should add an icon that shows your recent clipboard contents | 22:41 |
| === Sammy is now known as Guest75277 | ||
| === Multiply is now known as multiply | ||
| Pinkamena_D | well I already have the compiz and plugins | 22:42 |
| Pinkamena_D | are you suggesting I install the fusion packages to fix the issue? | 22:42 |
| wheatthin | Pinkamena_D, well it's a setting within int | 22:42 |
| wheatthin | it* | 22:42 |
| Draxelis | so, there's a new person looking after chromium, right? | 22:43 |
| SuperLag | ewi_: ran glipper... now I see an icon, but when I copy items, I'm not seeing anything there | 22:43 |
| Pinkamena_D | ok, let me just copy and paste the issue, one second... | 22:43 |
| Pinkamena_D | Hello, I had desktop cube working fine in 12.10, but I had to downgrade to 12.04 for other reasons. After reinstall I am getting that "flash" on rotation, and windows will not move from one workspace to another with the keyboard. I remember I fixed this before, but I forgot how. | 22:43 |
| ewi_ | you clicked/right clicked on the icon SuperLag? | 22:43 |
| wheatthin | http://www.noobslab.com/2011/10/enable-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu.html, Pinkamena_D | 22:43 |
| SuperLag | ewi_: multiple times | 22:44 |
| wheatthin | like that? | 22:44 |
| ewi_ | maybe need to adjust the settings to allow more than 0 clipboard contents? | 22:44 |
| SuperLag | ewi_: Okay. Where do you access the settings for it? | 22:45 |
| ewi_ | right click on it? i'm not sure | 22:45 |
| SuperLag | It's not bringing any menus up, click or right-click. I get nothing. | 22:45 |
| SuperLag | ewi_: I may have to log out or reboot. Unfortunately, I'm stuck in a position where I can't do that yet | 22:46 |
| wheatthin | SuperLag, you using gnome? | 22:46 |
| wheatthin | and are trying to access files on desktop? | 22:47 |
| ewi_ | SuperLag: ctrl+alt+c does that do anything? | 22:47 |
| davethefan | hello | 22:47 |
| Pinkamena_D | ok, I just finished looking at that guide. It has all of the things I have done already | 22:47 |
| resizt0r | ok so, im trying to edit a system file with konsole | 22:48 |
| wheatthin | Pinkamena_D, as in the settings to enable the features itself? | 22:48 |
| resizt0r | and i type "su" | 22:48 |
| resizt0r | type my pass, and it says authentication failure | 22:48 |
| SuperLag | wheatthin: in this case, yes. ewi_: that worked to bring up a menu. Clicking on the icon still doesn't do anything though. | 22:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | the flash itself is annoying but I can deal with it. The main problem is that the windows do not move from one workspace to another correctly | 22:48 |
| ewi_ | and you have glipper 2.1 SuperLag? | 22:48 |
| Pinkamena_D | wheatthin, Yes, first I did the compat-check, then installed the packages and put the settings the same way. | 22:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | What ticks me off is that it was working fine in 12.10. | 22:49 |
| Pinkamena_D | I also noticed that more plugins are available now, as if I have downloaded a lslightly diferent package then I had. | 22:50 |
| HisaoNakai | Okay, I just played a full game of Solitaire and it hasn't dropped yet, I'm going to try to provoke it in my (gasp) using Firefox | 22:50 |
| SuperLag | ewi_: 2.4 | 22:51 |
| ewi_ | sounds promising HisaoNakai | 22:51 |
| ewi_ | SuperLag: "sudo restart glipper"? | 22:52 |
| HisaoNakai | ewi_ Went to youtube, searched "vinesauce corruptions", and then I get a notification: "network_name" Disconnected. | 22:52 |
| HisaoNakai | so no, another user account doesn't fix the problem. | 22:53 |
| ewi_ | log into you wi-fi configuration and change the wi-fi channel HisaoNakai? | 22:54 |
| HisaoNakai | Tried that before and it didn't work. | 22:54 |
| resizt0r | i dont see why konsole will not let me use "su" | 22:56 |
| SuperLag | ewi_: didn't help | 22:57 |
| ewi_ | sudo su resizt0r | 22:57 |
| SuperLag | ewi_: btw, that doesn't work. I just killed the PID for glipper | 22:57 |

| da | Want to win some money while you are on your computer? https://coingeneration.com/auth/new/148807 registe and you can do it!! | 23:08 |
| ewi_ | i'm sure there is Skymont | 23:09 |
| OerHeks | Draxelis, only if you installed it with softwarecenter | 23:09 |
| Draxelis | OerHeks, Ye I did. | 23:09 |
| MrGrymReaper | @SuperLag - Unfortunately I currently only have access to a Sony Vaio. | 23:09 |
| Draxelis | OerHeks, the chromium versions on USC aren't lagging behind much? | 23:09 |
| Skymont | link? :) | 23:09 |
| OerHeks | Current is Version 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 13.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu3) | 23:10 |

| SuperLag | MrGrymReaper: well, it seems odd that you couldn't even get past the splash screen. I'd consider going with 13.04 and using the alternate install CD | 23:11 |
| Draxelis | ok | 23:11 |
| Draxelis | I have the same | 23:11 |
| * ewi_ has had good luck with alternate cd's | 23:12 | |
| SuperLag | ewi_: same here | 23:12 |
| SuperLag | ewi_: I've also had very good luck with this ThinkPad W530. Nice machine. :) | 23:12 |
| SuperLag | Took a couple of PPA things to get one piece of hardware working. (Fingerprint reader) | 23:13 |

| pokkerface | hi anyone with good knowledge of networks? | 23:16 |
| Dr_willis | pokkerface, you may want to ask a more specific question. there is #networking also | 23:16 |
| Skymont | ewi_, was that link you posted for someone? | 23:16 |
| pokkerface | i have my xbox connected to my ubuntu machine through ethernet , i am not getting access to internet | 23:16 |
| pokkerface | with my xbox | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | !ics | pokkerface | 23:17 |
| ubottu | pokkerface: If you want to share the internet connection of your Ubuntu machine with other machines in the network see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Internet/ConnectionSharing | 23:17 |
| Dr_willis | and you may need a crossover cable, or a hub. | 23:17 |
| ewi_ | you'lol have to dig for that one by your self Skymont. ubuntu partitioning | 23:17 |
| pokkerface | Dr_willis, yes i already have the cable | 23:18 |
| resizt0r | aww man | 23:18 |
| resizt0r | i tried sharing a usb drive on the network and now it give some error saying it is already mounted and cannot mount the share | 23:19 |
| Dr_willis | i find it often easier to share all of /media/ resizt0r , or mount removeable devices by hand and not let them automount | 23:20 |
| resizt0r | so the drive is /media/Backup | 23:20 |
| resizt0r | what would i do to make this work | 23:20 |
| Dr_willis | what filesystem is the drive? | 23:20 |
| resizt0r | ntfs | 23:21 |
| Dr_willis | you may need to mount it with ntfs-3g and the proper options to allow all users full access. or let the ntfs-config tool make a /etc/fstab entry for it | 23:21 |
| MrGrymReaper | @SuperLag - The 13.04 version unfortunately isn't a LTS release and has a very short support lifecycle. It means it will not receive updates for a sufficiently long period of time unlike LTS releases. | 23:21 |
| resizt0r | /Backup/backup /media/Backup cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 | 23:21 |
| resizt0r | this is what i currently added, hoping it would show up as Backup on the network | 23:21 |
| resizt0r | er, //Backup/backup | 23:22 |
| ewi_ | "sudo umount /path/where/Backup/is/mounted && mount /media /mnt"' | 23:22 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, you are defining a 'share' thats differnt then a fstab entry... so somthing is confused here. | 23:22 |
| Dr_willis | what OS is shareing the ntfs-usb drive? | 23:23 |
| resizt0r | this one | 23:23 |
| resizt0r | kubuntu 13.04 | 23:23 |
| Draxelis | why libre office isnt updated via regular ubuntu updates? | 23:23 |
| Dr_willis | so whats your smb.conf look like thats making the share resizt0r ? | 23:23 |
| resizt0r | i dunno where to find that | 23:24 |
| resizt0r | i just added what i showed you in fstab | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis | a fstab entry does NOT make a share.. so how are you shareing it? | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis | your fstab entry would be to MOUNT a remote share to the local box. | 23:24 |
| resizt0r | i guess im not sharing it | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis | Bingo. ;) | 23:24 |
| Dr_willis | you Mount it somewhere, like /media/backups then share /media/backups | 23:25 |
| resizt0r | shouldnt it be like a 5 step process? something simple? | 23:25 |
| resizt0r | currently it is mounted as /media/Backup | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | the fact its a NTFS adds a layer of complecation | 23:25 |
| Dr_willis | if the user has full rights to it.. try right clicking on the folder and shareing it | 23:25 |
| resizt0r | see, i was hoping it'd be as easy as right clicking, go to sharing tab, select to share the drive with the checkbox | 23:25 |
| resizt0r | which is how it should work | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | if you want a more perment share. you will want to make a smb.conf entry for it | 23:26 |
| resizt0r | if things were logical | 23:26 |
| resizt0r | i want it permanant | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, what if you dident have a GUI desktop? whats logical then? | 23:26 |
| resizt0r | i would reformat | 23:26 |
| resizt0r | to a gui desktop | 23:26 |
| resizt0r | that would be logical | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | samba shares are normally defined in smb.conf the whole 'user made shares' is a relatively new feature of Linux | 23:26 |
| resizt0r | ok so | 23:26 |
| resizt0r | i need to find smb.conf | 23:26 |
| Dr_willis | so i have no idea why you have that fstab entry. | 23:27 |
| resizt0r | and put what | 23:27 |
| resizt0r | "share my damn drive.now" | 23:27 |
| resizt0r | well in the guide in the first link | 23:27 |
| resizt0r | share samba | 23:27 |
| wheatthin | samba shares can be mounted in fstab | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | wheatthin, hes defining a share in the fstab... | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | or tryign to. | 23:27 |
| Dr_willis | see where 'mount' says its mounted to | 23:28 |
| resizt0r | mount | 23:28 |
| resizt0r | where is that | 23:28 |
| resizt0r | is that a program | 23:28 |
| Dr_willis | thats a command you type | 23:28 |
| nommanic | hi | 23:28 |
| Dr_willis | You may have a bit of learning to do i think resizt0r | 23:28 |
| resizt0r | i just need my drive shared | 23:29 |
| resizt0r | learning can come later | 23:29 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, you also said you needed it permently.. that adds more compelxity | 23:29 |
| resizt0r | the networking difficulties are the main reason i havent fully dedicated myself to linux as of yet | 23:29 |
| Dr_willis | simple case.. reboot.. plug it in, access it.. right click on the folder it is, and select share. | 23:29 |
| resizt0r | ive done that | 23:29 |
| resizt0r | ten times over | 23:29 |
| Dr_willis | ie: /media/yourusername/whatever | 23:29 |
| resizt0r | it doesnt show up in windows | 23:30 |
| ewi_ | lulz | 23:30 |
| h00k | So, I set up the Twitter permissions, and I just got a notification that someone responded to a tweet, but I can't...like...see any Twitter client installed. Any protips? | 23:30 |
| wheatthin | in windows you have to map a network drive | 23:30 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, you did make it a GUEST share? | 23:30 |
| resizt0r | every single time i do that i open the share tab and all the settings are erased | 23:30 |
| resizt0r | as if i never set them at all | 23:30 |
| Dr_willis | you do not 'have' to map it as a network drive. | 23:30 |
| resizt0r | i tried it with user/pass | 23:30 |
| resizt0r | and guess | 23:30 |
| wheatthin | in order to keep remounting it under windows | 23:30 |
| resizt0r | guest* | 23:30 |
| ewi_ | you need to open your file manager with sudo? | 23:30 |
| resizt0r | and with no users defined at all | 23:30 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, as a test make a folder in your HOME and try shareing it.. to see if samba is in fact working | 23:30 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, your user has a seperate 'samba' password that can be differnt then their login password. you can set it via 'sudo smbpasswd username' i norally set mine to be the same as my login password. | 23:31 |
| resizt0r | ok i shared it | 23:31 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | Hi users of ubuntu channel, how do i use my keyboard to guarantee a proper shut.down? | 23:32 |
| === daniel is now known as Guest39248 | ||
| resizt0r | now i'll have to go to the next room to see if its anywhere in the network from the windows laptop | 23:32 |
| resizt0r | brb | 23:32 |
| kant_ | 12.04 trying to upgrade to 12.10. I keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775592/ . Any idea? | 23:32 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, it can take windows some time to see the new shares also. | 23:32 |
| wheatthin | Dr_willis, it's faster by adding a network drive in windows | 23:33 |
| wheatthin | that way you don't have to wait for netbios to recognize it | 23:34 |
| resizt0r | ok | 23:34 |
| fbiondip | Is it good idea changing kernel 3.8 to 3.9 in 13.04? | 23:34 |
| resizt0r | i made a folder called share in my home dir, shared with samba, and it works fantastically | 23:34 |
| resizt0r | now if i could just share my backup drive, i'd be set | 23:34 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | Fbiondip, you can change it but the old kernel may still be on your filesystem | 23:35 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, i would remove that wrong fstab entry you have. for starters | 23:35 |
| resizt0r | alright | 23:35 |
| ewi_ | filemanager needs super user | 23:35 |
| ewi_ | can't change attributes on an admin mount without sudo resizt0r | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | i would also then unmount the flash drive (via the file manager if you can) and then install/run ntfs-config to let it auto-make a fstab entry for it. | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | ewi_, so use gksudo to run your file manager. | 23:36 |
| Dr_willis | ewi_, but be carefull with it. | 23:36 |
| resizt0r | ok | 23:36 |
| resizt0r | erased the entry in fstab | 23:37 |
| resizt0r | using VIM | 23:37 |
| StaticLNX | can someone give me a hand with a network problem? http://pastebin.com/RDRFjium | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | and you dont really change mountpoint permissions on NTFS, via the file manager | 23:37 |
| fbiondip | MonkWitDaFunk is there any problem the old kernels still stay in the fs? | 23:37 |
| Dr_willis | !info ntfs-config | 23:37 |
| ubottu | ntfs-config (source: ntfs-config): Enable/disable write support for any NTFS devices. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-10 (raring), package size 95 kB, installed size 776 kB (Only available for linux-any) | 23:37 |
| ewi_ | can share with samba through nautilus right? | 23:37 |
| wheatthin | StaticLNX, what are you trying to do? | 23:37 |
| resizt0r | i have dolphin | 23:38 |
| resizt0r | and samba | 23:38 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | Fbiondip, no. | 23:38 |
| wheatthin | StaticLNX, You'll need to fix network | 23:38 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | Unless you dont have enough free space | 23:38 |
| Dr_willis | ewi_, the fact its a NTFS on a removeable flash - adds complexity to the issue | 23:38 |
| StaticLNX | I cant get it to start | 23:39 |
| resizt0r | its not flash | 23:39 |
| resizt0r | its a desktop hard drive | 23:39 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, internal to the pc? or removeable? | 23:39 |
| resizt0r | 2TB | 23:39 |
| MonkWitDaFunk | Is there any way to use my keyboard to guarantee a proper shut down? | 23:39 |
| resizt0r | removable usb3.0 | 23:39 |
| Dr_willis | so as far as the system cares.. its the same as a flash drive. | 23:39 |
| Dr_willis | its removeable, so it gets auto mounted on access. unless you make a fstab entry | 23:40 |
| StaticLNX | wheatthin, fix network? huh? | 23:40 |
| resizt0r | so what's wrong with making an entry? | 23:40 |
| resizt0r | i'll make 20 entries if i have to to get it to work | 23:40 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, thats what 'ntfs-config' does.. it makes a fstab entry for you.... | 23:40 |
| usr13 | StaticLNX: What is broken? | 23:40 |
| resizt0r | what do i type | 23:40 |
| usr13 | StaticLNX: (Exlpain your situation in more detail.) | 23:41 |
| Dr_willis | resizt0r, install and run 'ntfs-config' | 23:41 |
| Dr_willis | unless you want to read up on the nfts-3g guides/wiki page and add an entry by hand. | 23:41 |
| ewi_ | StaticLNX: what's the issue? | 23:41 |
| fbiondip | I have an extra 70 Gb Sata installed ,so i think there should'nt be pace problms.the thing is since i iupgradede i feel the laptop clumsier | 23:42 |

| ziggypop | fy th3worldisyours | 23:43 |
| usr13 | StaticLNX: Is this a server? Or is it a desktop PC? | 23:43 |

| Dr_willis | the system will expect that USB to be plugged in when the system boots from now on. | 23:44 |
| resizt0r | that's fine, it always is | 23:45 |
| resizt0r | it's a permanent fixture | 23:45 |
| ewi_ | what happens if it's not plugged in | 23:45 |
| wheatthin | Dr_willis, so add the usb to fstab | 23:45 |
| ewi_ | lag on boot? | 23:45 |
| Dr_willis | wheatthin, you seem to be lagged... we allready did.. ;) | 23:45 |
