[00:48] is what i currently run [00:49] alright well I would recommend just reverting back as the newer kernals aren't too dramatic of a change [00:49] well thats what i've dont [00:49] well thats what i've done [00:49] but i want to know why [00:49] maybe i can update something [00:49] idk..compatibility? random bug? could be a number of things... [00:50] you could always make a forum thread and post up some info and see if anyone has ideas [00:50] yeah [00:50] i should [00:50] bug report [00:50] Well, I just logged on.

Now after rebooting I cannot start Pulse [00:50] ;) [00:50] guys tor ins't working, how can i fix it? [00:50] audio ...fatal errro.

[00:53] riplebit: no idea but they control the flow in and out so..they must have tabs on it...im sure if they can scold you for torrenting then they can figure out tor ;) [00:53] You really dont want to use Torrents With TOR. [00:53] i dont want it for torrenting [00:54] or doing anything illegal or whatever. just want a way of protecting my privacy [00:54] any ideas for my problem? [00:54] ripplebit, Tor is a little overrated in 'privacy' protection.. [00:54] whatever happened to the distro days of irc? [00:54] not saying anyone is torrenting, I am saying if your ISP knows when people are torrenting then I am sure they could figure out peole who use tor [00:55] what is the alternative to tor then?

Freenode has policies against warez. [00:55] ripplebit, ive seen them for as low as $5 a month. [00:56] ripplebit, with $10 mo 'credit' with special cupon codes [00:56] its too bad [00:56] why would a home user need a vpn? [00:56] pong, I ran a znc server on it for my IRC ussage. [00:57] and could also set up my own vpn. [00:57] so i can get to my stuff from my phone. [00:57] the idea of a 'home' user is somewhat 'broad' [00:57] Dr_WIllis, for privacy reasons? [00:57] pong, thats one reason [00:57] So, I have an actual question! [00:58] I created a bootable USB with the latest ubuntu 64bit on it. [00:58] and every time I load it, it asks to try/install. How do I get it to just be bootable without try/install? [00:58] isn't it just switching ips from isp to vpn service? [00:58] Charmlet: you needed to create the flash drive with 'persistence' [00:58] I used the pendrivelinux thing [00:58] and made the persistance about 3.5 gb >.> [00:59] !pm | byc [00:59] byc: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice.

[01:00] daftykins: and there's a 3,600 MB "casper-rw" thing on the drive [01:01] daftykins: do I just keep pressing try each time I use it? [01:01] 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 [01:02] http://askubuntu.com/questions/7429/remove-welcome-screen-from-live-usb [01:02] Charmlet: i sort of expected it to not show the menu anymore when done right, not sure [01:02] So the pendrivelinux wasn't the right install? [01:02] I probably screwed up somewhere. [01:03] Charmlet, depends on what you want. [01:03] I want it to be bootable and useable from the USB [01:03] but not for super intensive stuff, or anything installed. [01:03] 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 [01:04] OR you can use a Live-usb setup. but thats more for testing/light ussage [01:04] 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] and the guide suggest removeing the 'ubiquity' package from a live-usb install will disable that screen [01:04] Install to USB same as you would a internal HD. partion, put grub on its mbr and so forth [01:04] but 8gb is a little small. [01:05] Hi, I am running a bunch of diskless machines. For some reason if I boot them all up at hte same time, about half of htem fail to mount the nfs root. But if I turn them on one at a time, it succeeds. [01:05] little small as in it won't work, or I won't be able to install anything at all? [01:05] Anyone have any ideas? [01:05] all I'd need to install is chrome pretty much. [01:06] Deformative: network saturation / timeouts? [01:06] Deformative: ask #nfs [01:07] reisio: Ok, thanks. [01:07] sticking a tube in your mouth is what digital music is all about [01:07] whoops, wrong chan [01:07] 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... [01:08] Dr_willis: I'll try to do that. Thanks :) [01:17] holaa [01:17] hi [01:18] so what is best or most popular native games for linux, if this is offtopic please tell me the games in ##gaming thanks [01:19] steam has just been released for linux.ubuntu a month or 2 ago. :0 [01:19] wesnoth [01:19] so 'best' would have to go to the various HalfLife games I imagine [01:19] best Open Sourced - depends on the kind of games you want [01:20] have you hear od xonotic? [01:20] Skymont: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Humble_Bundle [01:20] have you heard of xonotic?

Thanks! [01:22] Any well know bluetooth adapters that are PCI? Or whatever the onboard card type are these days? [01:24] ner0x: they tend to sell them as USB dongles alone [01:25] I think theres a few laptop wifi cards with bluetooth built in.. but neverreally looked at them [01:25] yeah it'll be a lot easier to find usb [01:25] BT - would be so handy.. if it worked better/faster/easier... ;P [01:26] daftykins: dongles? [01:26] yep. [01:27] What is a dongle? lol [01:27] http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/dongle [01:27] (computer hardware) Any small device which plugs into an electronic device, typically a computer, and alters its functionality. Common examples include wireless modems, software copy protect devices, and adapters. Some USB keyboards and mice include USB to PS/2 adapter dongles, enabling their use on machines with PS/2 ports. [01:31] In my boot script I have a command listed called "console". This should call us a tmux instance, but for some reason the console command is being run at start up. https://gist.github.com/gitt/3a8ebc64bb6f412acb64 - question is, what would be causing that? This isn't my first boot script I've written, however it is the first time I've had this happen. [01:33] join #ubuntu [01:37] nvm, had backticks in an echo statement... *facepalm* === rafael is now known as Guest6813 [01:39] Dr_willis: What a terrible name for a piece of hardware. [01:40] Dr_willis : i was chatting with someone bout a month ago who was using a rasberry pi with ubuntu ... was that you ? [01:42] Tex_Nick, Likely. :) not much to chat about.. since ubuntu isent ported to the Pi. [01:44] When you lose control of the desktop to a fullscreen application, what do you do? I've ctrl alt f1ed out and rebooted, but there must be a better way [01:44] makuto, just kill the app from the console. [01:44] or if you can get a alt-f2 run dialog, use xkill [01:45] How do I get back to the desktop? [01:45] ctrl alt f7 [01:45] Ah, thanks! [01:45] and instead of rebooting. you can 'sudo service lightdm restart' to restart the X server. ;) [01:45] what app are you loseing controll in? [01:46] Some Wine apps don't behave properly [01:46] cant say ive ever noticed any i couldent alt-tab out of... [01:46] or use the alt-f2 xkill trick [01:47] Unless they just totally crash the X server. ;) [01:47] makuto, you can "confine" them in a window if you want by setting a virtual desktopf for them in wincfg [01:47] winecfg* [01:47] Thats always a handy feature in wine also. ;) [01:47] had to do that with some MMORPG games over the years. [01:47] Dr_willis : ok thanks i was thinking about building an inexpensive box mounted to the back of a monitor with vesa mount for the grandkids ... using the pi & ubuntu ... thought there was now an unofficial ubuntu port ... thanks for feedback ;-) === root is now known as Guest6785 [01:48] Tex_Nick, if theres any ubuntu for the pi.. i dont know of it. [01:48] Tex_Nick, There is a Plex Client For the Pi now. that makes it a very nice HTPC/DLNA player - if you want to run a plex server. :) [01:48] Thank you very much! [01:49] http://rasplex.com/ even has a case (in the works) with Vesa mount brackets [01:50] Dr_willis : if you haven't heard of it ... it probably doesn't exist !!! ;-) hmmmmm i'll look into plex ... thank yo sir [01:51] One of Plex's neatest features.. 'plex channels' where (not totally reliable) your PC can stream sites like AmazonPrime, Netflix, Hulu, and other flash sites.. to your pi via the pc. [01:53] why plex over XBMC? [01:54] plex uses a 'server client' model. where the PI (or other devices) just need the plex client [01:54] Dr_willis : yeah looking at plex now ... hey thanks for the feedback sir ^5 [01:54] anyone knows a ppa to install libc++ from ? [01:54] the plex server (a normal pc) handles all the hard stuff. [01:55] I have the Plex Channel on my Roku, my Pi, and my Smart TV. they all 3 can play the files from my plex server with the exact same interface. [01:55] same here [01:55] Plex app for android exists also. but its like $5 [01:55] plex works very well with roku === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk [01:55] The plex 'service' they sell - lets you access the files over the internet. [01:55] but i dont do that. === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [01:56] I grabbed some 3rd party Media player the other day with a built in HD - it dosent have the usefull channels the Roku does. ;( [01:57] 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] yeah it create a swap partition usually [01:57] if it even uses the swap at all. ;) [01:57] if you manually partition and avoid making one, or put it on a mechanical HDD, all will be well [01:58] 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] sure, you do - but not everyone has the same hardware [01:59] askubuntu.com had some tweak guides on ssds also. [01:59] gavilan2, and your ram amount is what exactly? [02:00] Dr_willis: 1 GB... I only use firefox usually... === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk [02:01] with a billion tabs? [02:01] so.. you spent money on a ssd, instead of more ram? ;) === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [02:01] hello all [02:02] * 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 [02:03] daftykins: 10 tabs at the most.... [02:03] 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... [02:04] gavilan2, so you are worried about a virtual swap partition? thats on a real ssd? [02:04] in a virtual hard drive. ;) [02:06] Dr_willis: I don't want to send many writes to the SSD... === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk [02:06] 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] gavilan2: is the SSD the only storage in the system? === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [02:07] daftykins: I have some HDDs too, but the VM runs from the SSD.... [02:07] may be best to monitor how much the VM is swapping.. and if its doing it a lot.. increase its ram. [02:08] gavilan2: just turn the swap off / reinstall without one [02:08] 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. [02:09] 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] crazycory22, just 'xchat' or 'weechat' and Mint has its own support channels... [02:09] Tex_Nick: I thought 16GB was crazy in my MacBook Pro. Now on this ThinkPad, I've got 32GB of RAM. It's amazing. === sergio_ is now known as Guest4030 [02:10] 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. [02:11] how do you install JRE with apt? is it the 'default-jre' package? [02:11] !ram [02:11] If you are wondering why some tools report your system has very little free memory, have a look at http://www.linuxatemyram.com/ | A short primer on Linux memory management can be found here: http://sourcefrog.net/weblog/software/linux-kernel/free-mem.html [02:11] !java [02:11] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

[02:15] Tex_Nick: how are you measuring your ram usage? [02:15] Tex_Nick: love it. I've got the W530, and everything works. Just set up the fingerprint thing yesterday.

[03:56] would anyone like to help me set up postfix + dovecot? I've been reading documentation and tutorials for the past couple days and NOTHING works for me >.< [03:56] can't believe Im having trouble for something so simple :/ [03:57] Austneal: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/postfix.html [03:57] also, Im looking to set it up to use multiple domains [03:58] I just started running a server health monitor (zabbix) and it's warning me that inetd isn't running. However, my server only serves http and ssh. Do I really need inetd? Seems like it couldn't hurt. [03:58] I can install it... just configuring it seems to be the trouble === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [03:58] Austneal: its best to ask specific errors in channel, so others might help you as good as they can [03:59] Austneal: maybe #ubuntu-server guys might also know your issue [03:59] ah, thanks. I'll go check there [04:00] 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 [04:01] 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 [04:02] 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 [04:03] 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] 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] tarwich: sounds fair. Sorry I didn't have a more definitive answer for you [04:03] somsip: np. Thanks for your time, man! :-) [04:04] #ubuntu-server is dead :/ [04:04] grr. drive dying [04:07] should have stuck with the windows server x_x [04:12] Anyone available to answer a question?

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [04:15] Basically, I've messed up my ssd, which I was using as a boot drive for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS. Something went wrong when I was installing WineHQ, and i could no longer use update manager. I decided to reinstall using the same .iso i used to install it the first time. only this time it won't let me install it on the ssd. [04:16] hello [04:16] hey [04:17] Everytime I try to download it, it's telling me that it's in use. So i loaded from a live usb, and tried to format the ssd so that it could be wiped and reinstalled, but I get the same error, that it's in use. What do. Google and askubuntu have not a whole lot of information on this problem === derp_ is now known as derp [04:18] cool thanks IdleOne, everything is back to normal and working [04:18] I have not "/dev/dsp", I do? my sound works perfect, I have "/dev/snd/*" but none work for me. is for a program that needs whether or audio device. [04:19] also thanks sere [04:20] etk: your welcome.. glad you got it working [04:20] I'm tired of searching the internet and I can not find the solution. [04:20] so I got my a release of ubunto on my labtop [04:20] what happened to x-windows? [04:20] the gui is not what I remember [04:21] plis [04:21] Average_Noxian_: basically what you would want to do for a TOTALLY new install ... boot with a live usb or cd/dvd and do a manual install ... from there delete all partitions ... and continue from there ... that's assuming it DOESN'Y have another OS installed !!! [04:22] how do I create /dev/dsp? or device can replace? [04:22] so is there another version of ubunto I need for x-windows [04:23] supramindix: modprobe snd-pcm-oss [04:24] in a default installation, does Ubuntu separate the /home, /swap, and / partitions automatically in a default install to a drive (without customized partitioning)? [04:24] last i checked it did not [04:24] * TheLordOfTime is trying to confirm facts [04:24] sere, FATAL: Module snd_pcm_oss not found. [04:25] TheLordOfTime: the last time I sued it, it was /swap, and / and that was it, by default [04:25] *used [04:25] somsip: that's what i thought [04:25] supramindix, try to emulate it with padsp: padsp executable_of_application_here [04:28] seems to have accepted. [04:28] supramindix, ;) [04:30] kostkon, very thanks! already works! [04:30] supramindix, nice [04:38] When I let my cursor sit, it starts filling up with orange, and then clicks on whatever it's on. If I move the cursor, the glow stops. How do I turn this off? It keeps clicking on everything. [04:41] Charcoalcat, sounds like a hardware issue. try a different mouse. [04:42] ... it stopped on its own? [04:42] acerimmer thanks anyway! [04:42] Charcoalcat: i believe it has something to do with compiz [04:44] Oh no it started again. I didn't do anything except open a new tab. [04:44] Charcoalcat: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NyZzl1FUVNg : this is how to activate it, so just do the opisite :) [04:44] sere thank you, I'll try that! [04:45] Charcoalcat: your welcome, good luck! [04:54] help!! I installed GNOME3 on ubuntu and now nothing appears on the desktop and i can't select anything [04:57] sere: The video is something else! The video shows you how to make shapes rotate around your cursor when you press a key combination. Mine looks like this: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16623407/screenshots/orangeclick.png [04:57] sere how did you install it? [04:57] switching, common test.. try making a new user, see if they work. also clarify to the channel your version of ubuntu and what you installed exactly. [04:58] It's white at first, but then turns orange starting at the tip and going down! Then clicks when it's fully orange like the screenshot. The clicking is the important part. [04:58] Charcoalcat, sounds like some accessability feature. [04:59] Is there a way to add a /boot partition before my / partition? [04:59] Dr_willis: Oh, that was it! I found it in Universal Access! Thanks! [05:00] mib_pfs, resize your / if its at the start of the drive and shrink it down from the front [05:00] make a new partion then mount it to /boot/ [05:00] dr_willis thanks, but i just needed to turn something on in gnome-tweak [05:00] why do you need a /boot/ parttion? [05:00] Was going to experiment with different distros [05:00] switching, cant say i really have needed to use that tool in ages. [05:01] dr_willis :P [05:01] Wont resizing my / partition from the front cause data to be lost? [05:01] mib_pfs, i dont really see why you need a seperate /boot/ partition. [05:01] 'resize' = gparted can resize and keep data intact [05:01] my more important problem is that after installing GNOME, when i switch back to unity, the close button is on the right [05:01] switching, thats a theme setting for the most part these days. (its tweakable by various tools) [05:01] the themes just have a script i recall that sets it to the other side, [05:02] if you want it moved.. move it back. ;) [05:02] !controls [05:02] Starting in Lucid, the minimize, maximize, and close buttons have been moved to the left side. For more information and workarounds, please see http://pad.lv/532633 [05:02] dr_willis hmm, i will look, thanks [05:03] they should just put it in the middle. ;) [05:03] hahahaha [05:03] i found it in unity tweak though, thanks for your help [05:09] Hi, What is the order in which apt-get looks for proxies ( in apt.conf, $http_proxy, DIRECT etc. ) [05:13] Anyone know when upstart unmounts the filesystems during reboot/shutdown ?

[05:30] you might be expecting too much of your gpu [05:30] that I got 100 fps under winblows with ubuntu i got 2 or 3 fps [05:31] humm sounds to me it is the diver [05:32] 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] well I use X.org diver [05:33] 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?

[07:41] you can install itunes in wine but you can't sync with apple products [07:42] !ipad | Kion [07:42] !ipod | Kion [07:42] 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 [07:43] 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 [07:44] 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 ??? [07:45] 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 [07:46] It is ptobally more sane to stick with windows due to apples proprietary nature [07:46] Tex_Nick: Probbably bvia ssh, that makes sense, but he is not very technology oriented.. [07:46] Kion: well you could use scp if ssh is supported. [07:46] For me, I just dont use any apple stuff [07:47] histo: I will tell him to give ssh a try, maybe that is the solution [07:48] 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] 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. [07:49] Kion: I've ssh'ed into my ipod touch and all the music names were hashed , realy was not practical. [07:49] so we can ssh into an android phone ? 0.O i didnt know that wow [07:49] jellow Yes, I am looking at them now [07:50] alocer: with a proper app installed. You can even have your android phone be an ssh server [07:50] are we talking about an ipod or ipad ? [07:50] Is the Ubuntu OS for phones ready? [07:50] !phone | Kion [07:50] Kion: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [07:50] I would love to install it on my Samsung S3 [07:50] lovely histo [07:50] Kion: bascially it's not ready [07:50] Kion: no its not ready, still in development. for details see #ubuntu-touch [07:51] Ok thanks, cant wait ! [07:55] 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] why is it that copying large files to a USB flash drive is so extremely slow? [07:57] zetheroo: are you using usb2 or usb3 ? [07:57] Tex_Nick: USB2 [07:59] 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] Is there a recommended way to remove old kernels? [07:59] i want to access my encrypted home from a non-ubuntu linux. where do i find my home folder? [08:01] Ogham: Remove their kernel packages. [08:01] what's everyones thought on Easystroke Gesture Recognition with ubuntu? [08:01] 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] Jordan_U: Are there further actions required such as grub updates? [08:01] Ogham: Nope, that's all done automagically :) [08:02] 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] 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] Temporary failure resolving 'us.archive.ubuntu.com' [08:03] 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! [08:04] zetheroo: ahh ok ... sorry sir i don't know what that issue might be ... is it witgh only one usb stick ? [08:04] hey is there a way to partition my harddrive, with an os already on it? === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [08:04] 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] before installing a new one [08:05] Tex_Nick: no, just generally copying large files to USB flash drives takes ages ... it starts off fast and then slows to a crawl [08:06] 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] i mean before the new os is installed [08:06] iMdapt [08:06] 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! [08:07] Ogham: You're welcome. [08:08] Jordan_U: is there a way to partition without installing a new os [08:08] darkapp: Yes, you can use GParted or other tools for partitioning. [08:08] apt-get install gparted? [08:08] 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] darkapp: It's included by default in Ubuntu LiveDVD/USBs. [08:09] so im on mint right now [08:09] its on my computer? [08:09] zetheroo: i could do some searching ... what distros are you using ? [08:10] Tex_Nick: just Ubuntu 12.04 and up [08:10] zetheroo: what transfer rates are you getting at the beginning & end ? [08:11] ok got it [08:11] thanx Jordan_U [08:11] apreciate the help [08:11] zetheroo: and what file sizes [08:13] Tex_Nick: transfer starts at about 25MB/sec and end at about 1MB/sec ... file size is anything from 500MB and up ... [08:15] Jordan_U: Thanks again! That was very 'automated'! Survived reboot, and previously failed 3.8.0-25 has been installed! :) [08:15] Crazy bug though! [08:15] ok Jordan_U is there anyway to partition encrypted harddrives [08:16] 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] or unencrypt my current one [08:16] Tex_Nick: no worries . thanks === 13WAAK4RM is now known as tvoss [08:22] zetheroo: man i've done a google search on "ubuntu 12.04 usb file copy slow" i find a LOT of links describing your problem ... it almost looks like a common problem ... i've just always expected usb copies to be kinda slow [08:24] zetheroo: keep asking here though you'll eventually find someone with a GOOD answer [08:24] Tex_Nick: yes, same here ... I have seen a lot of people having this type of issue .. but seems there is no straightforward solution [08:25] zetheroo: that's kinda what i saw in reading the first 4 search resultas [08:25] results^ [08:25] have you tried benchmarking your usb drive with 'disk utility' (disks in 13.04)? === daniel is now known as Guest19405 [08:26] hi all, any masta-hacka in subject ubuntu server @ amazon ec2 ? have some problems with last official 13.04 image [08:27] i think it's a bug, want to confirm it before submitting on launchpad [08:28] !details | Guest19405 [08:28] Guest19405: Please give us full details.

[10:14] flash = yes, html5 videos = no [10:14] well firefox doesn't support a whole lot of html5 video stuff yet === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [10:15] 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 [10:16] And firefox by default uses the older flash plugin. === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [10:16] well chrome comes with its own, pepper based flash plugin [10:16] adobe stopped making flash for linux [10:16] What is wrong with my ubuntu 12.04 lts, that i cant run some app?

[11:04] chiliblue: try: sudo lshw -C network [11:06] 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] leehambley: i believe in the postinst, they are started... [11:07] leehambley: zless /usr/share/doc/sysv-rc/README.policy-rc.d.gz I believe is the documentation you seek [11:07] ActionParsnip: right, and invoke-rc.d should consult /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d if it exists [11:07] 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" [11:08] so it looks like I'd be doing something pretty risky if I just drop a ruby/bash script in there? [11:08] leehambley: ... by any package providing it [11:08] fair call… so I can drop something that just exits with the code if arg matches [11:09] thanks for the sanity check jrib [11:09] 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) [11:10] Hi all! I need help in one problem: when I installed Ubuntu I formated HDD (to 2 parts). First parts I formated for using in ubuntu, second...well... I'm skipped the hard drive marking ... How i can now mark second part of HDD for using in ubuntu? [11:10] 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.

[12:19] say, I ran locale-gen fr_FR.UTF-8 ; LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 nano and it's in English [12:19] did I miss something there? [12:20] CalimeroTeknik, maybe it is not translated to French, but I'm just trying to guess [12:20] it is. [12:20] this works on other distributions [12:20] whatever the environment variables set [12:21] 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. [12:22] CalimeroTeknik, did you use --purge in locale-gen? [12:22] uh? this is a fresh chroot. [12:22] installed with debootstrap to try things, it's 12.04 [12:23] CalimeroTeknik, try "cat /etc/default/locale" [12:23] so I thought I'd tackle the problem of the locale that was a failure last time [12:23] see what's in there === space is now known as Guest31075 [12:23] well I just ran update-locale LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 [12:24] so cat /etc/default/locale says LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8 of course. [12:24] CalimeroTeknik: could use localepurge, it will leave only the locales you state (or just use one for simplicity) [12:25] okay… I think I generated one anyway. [12:25] there is no such command [12:26] plus this is ubuntu (or debian)-specific [12:26] whereas locale-gen is a part of libc, and update-locale just edits /etc/default/locale [12:26] CalimeroTeknik, if you are certain you have found a bug, report it [12:27] I can't think of anything else [12:27] no. I just don't know how you put a locale on ubuntu [12:27] my locale works so I don't know what you could be missing [12:27] apparently the installer sets it alright, but it seems ubuntu hacked this so much that libc is beyond recognition === xgoo is now known as Guest63588 [12:28] and I didn't use an installer but debootstrap [12:28] 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] CalimeroTeknik: tried localepurge? [12:29] no such command [12:29] also there is nothing to purge. [12:30] could you explain how I run "localepurge" ? [12:30] ActionParsnip, I believe you mean locale-gen --purge [12:30] apt-something localepurge ? [12:30] CalimeroTeknik: sudo apt-get install localepurge [12:30] !info localepurge [12:30] localepurge (source: localepurge): Reclaim disk space removing unneeded localizations. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.6.3 (raring), package size 32 kB, installed size 133 kB [12:30] okay it's done [12:30] locale-gen --purge [12:31] localepurge is something else [12:31] did it work? [12:31] hey hey, guys. unneeded localizations shouldn't prevent me from having one [12:31] no, as expected nothing changed [12:31] CalimeroTeknik: you set the locale you want to keep and it sets hthe locale [12:31] I'm getting the feeling I miss something there, just as last time === mydogsnameisrudy is now known as monkeyjuice [12:34] well, date is in French alright, so maybe ubuntu doesn't include localization for nano in its package [12:34] that is impossible [12:35] hi all.. I am stuck at "linux-server depends on linux-image-server (= 3.2.0.37.44); however: Version of linux-image-server on system is 3.2.0.48.58." and am unable to fix it via apt-get -f install... what are the neccessary steps to move further? thanks! [12:35] well actually that's it. nano is not available in French on ubuntu. okay [12:35] neither is bash [12:36] this is getting strange [12:36] hay: could download the deb manually and install it to satisfy the dep [12:36] hay: are there bugs reported? [12:36] lol [12:37] bash: warning: setlocale: LC_ALL: cannot change locale (fr_FR.UTF-8) [12:37] wait, what does that even mean? [12:37] ActionParsnip, why after all does linux-server depend on some older version of linux-image-server? [12:38] 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] what! again, ubuntu doesn't package bash with locale files! [12:38] ah, maybe there is a pack indeed, not some bash-i18n [12:38] CalimeroTeknik, do a apt-cache search language-pack-fr [12:39] chances are what you seek are in those [12:39] indeed, indeed, thanks [12:39] this is getting understandable [12:39] hehehe [12:39] I was "what" seeing the output of dpkg -L nano, then dpkg -L bash [12:40] starting to feel that something isn't right, not a single .mo file [12:40] hay: not sure, maybe its a bug in the metapackage === BradCrittenden is now known as bac === gry is now known as randomgry [12:40] I mean, in my distro, software comes with its localization files in all available languages [12:41] CalimeroTeknik, ubuntu by default asks for your language and installs your language packs I believe [12:41] it doesn't when you debootstrap, obviously :) [12:42] * ezra-s can't think of a funny reply, remains in silence :P === williangliao is now known as rojie [12:47] do [12:48] now this was an interesting contribution. [12:49] he could've gone so far as to saying "do raptors… ?" [12:49] (-ing ?) [12:50] how do I sent a NotifyOSD confirmation bubble with notify-send? [12:50] My intake fan (3pin) is always around 1100RPM. How do I use 'fancontrol' to say what RPM to go at when the CPU reaches X temp [12:52] CalimeroTeknik, he meant "doh!" === jinie_ is now known as jinie [12:53] Magicarp: http://linux.die.net/man/8/fancontrol === surio_ is now known as surio [12:54] 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. [12:56] Fan need to be plugged to motherboard for control also, most "in-take" fans are just connected to the PSU, unless he meant a cpu fan === mmrazik_ is now known as mmrazik [12:57] 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...

[12:59] it seems when I turn off the network and restart it, I get networking for another couple minutes [12:59] so I think cause of that, it's the operating system.. [12:59] Oh and linux-signed-image-generic-lts-quantal … [12:59] it doesn't tell me it's offline, just loops and never comes out [12:59] BabyCat: Look at iwconfig and see what the signal report is.

[13:01] BabyCat: iwconfig | pastebinit #Send resulting URL here. === mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|afk [13:02] tor stable browser bundle is missing from the tor site (file not found) anyone know if it's available? [13:03] BabyCat: Is this a wireless 'n' connection? If yes, I would try to step back to a wireless 'g' connection. As I see, you get the connection, but it is very unstable. Wireless 'g' might do the trick. [13:03] BabyCat: Also tell us what lspci says about your wifi device. lspci |grep ireless [13:04] lol I'm on the wrong channel [13:04] pft [13:06] jrib: FWIW this worked perfectly: https://gist.github.com/leehambley/5796720 [13:07] leehambley: cool [13:07] I'd have preferred to use Bash for the scripting, but having Ruby swallow the two optional arguments was a bit easier, thanks for the tip! [13:12] Anyone know a workaround for the file-roller bug with adding files to archives? [13:12] uhm... where's the alternative downloads and stuff? [13:13] hello, am a newbie [13:14] sarah83: ??? please explain [13:14] what else can i say... [13:14] i want the alternative downloads [13:15] !alternative | sarah83 [13:15] sarah83: The alternate CD has been discontinued for the main Ubuntu distro, please use and report any bugs in the !LiveCD [13:15] sarah83: you can use the minimal install or server install instead [13:15] jrib: where are they?! [13:15] !minimal | sarah83 [13:15] sarah83: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [13:15] I don't know if it's ubuntu question but in term up&down arrows work fine (ubuntu 12.04) but in some interpreter like ocaml when I press up/down arrows I get ^[[D characters anyone know how to get rid of those & make arrows work? === monika_ is now known as Guest75412 [13:16] jrib: thanks but im pretty sure ive seen 13.10? [13:16] !13.10 | sarah83 [13:16] sarah83: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu. Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [13:16] sarah83: 13.10 is still in development and hasn't been released yet [13:16] jrib: not even for testing? [13:16] sarah83: #ubuntu+1 can help you with that [13:17] :( [13:17] of course, if you google for ubuntu 13.10 download, it's quite easy to find === jsec_ is now known as jsec [13:20] Zeev: You can't. Your shell most likely uses gnu readline to provide those extra features. If that particular program doesn't use such a library for input, it will not support such features. [13:21] maybe I can change my default shell? I've been suggested in ocaml to use "rlwrap ocaml" heh [13:21] Zeev, statl: you can pass interpreters through some other program to give it readline features though I can't remember the name at the moment. If you search through search results for "apt-cache search readline" you canprobably find it [13:21] are you guys using kali in usb, virtualisation or as default OS ? [13:21] are there any gui file managers with miller columns besides marlin? dolphin dropped columns some time ago, and marlin segfaults. :/ [13:21] Zeev: rlwrap is it, yes [13:22] jrib: interesting. Didn't know that. Thanks! [13:26] foobArrr: Pantheon Files is a fork of Marlin. MAybe it's in better shape. It is the file manager of the elementary OS. https://launchpad.net/~elementary-os/+archive/daily [13:27] minimec: thanks, I'll take a look [13:28] why have I been getting "Couldn't upload the file, check your internet settings" when I drop a png file on Drop to share shortcut since I moved to 13.04? [13:35] hello how calibrate the usb multitouch ? [13:36] i just did this to my ubuntu 12.04... sudo do-release-upgrade -d... the upgrade is running for almost 40 mins... wtf is happening [13:37] Ububegin, it's doing a full upgrade [13:37] Ububegin, your OS is upgrading to the next release [13:37] Ububegin, pretty much depends on how fast your ISP is right? [13:37] Ububegin : Next release... not 13.04 [13:38] BluesKaj, Next release , not 13.04 ah [13:38] Ububegin, the -d is not a good idea for an LTS \ [13:38] acerimmer, not necassarily, depends on which service he's getting it from [13:38] !mirror [13:38] Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Raring, and help keeping the servers' load low! [13:38] BluesKaj, Can I abort this now ? [13:38] Ububegin: are you still in the downloading stage? [13:39] acerimmer, doesn't help him judge which ones faster :).. [13:39] 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] or have packages started to install? [13:39] IdleOne, some packages have installed... I suppose.. its been close to 40 mins [13:39] netherlands is fastest for me, and I'm in California, USA :) [13:40] Ububegin: guessing is not going to help. What is the terminal doing at this moment [13:40] ? [13:40] IdleOne, Selecting previously unselected package nmap. [13:40] Unpacking nmap (from .../nmap_6.00-0.1_i386.deb) [13:41] well geographic proximity matters, but so does bandwidth [13:41] I believe the mirrors are listed in order of bandwidth [13:41] hmm, should be safe for you to ctrl-c . it hasn't starting installing yet. [13:41] 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 === Reedy_ is now known as Reedy [13:42] BluesKaj, it won't break his system.. just might make it unstable [13:42] Ububegin: hit ctrl-c and cancel the process. like BluesKaj has pointed out if cancelling now doesn't break the install, completing the upgrade definitely will. [13:43] wheatthin, well we can only hope :P [13:44] * acerimmer ... thinks you shouldn't touch the terminal without at least a learner's permit [13:45] lol how else do you learn? [13:45] ^ [13:45] is ubuntu 13.04 suppose to be better for laptops than 12.10? j/w (just wondering) === mmrazik|afk is now known as mmrazik [13:47] Ari-Yang: I'm sure it's _supposed_ to be better, or they wouldn't release it [13:48] I'm tempted to upgrade from 12.10.... [13:48] it's doable [13:48] upgrading to new releases is quite a sane notion, ordinarily [13:48] 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] less so with Ubuntu, IME, but in general still a good notion :p [13:49] nope, temporarily disabled [13:49] oh? [13:49] so then I have to re-enable them? [13:49] yup [13:50] followed by apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [13:50] Ari-Yang, the sources upgrade to the release chosen [13:50] hi all, i'm having difficulty installing ubuntu on virtualbox and/or parallels. ubuntu always boots in low graphics mode and the screen resolution is very low (800x600) [13:51] *nod* === tear is now known as Guest46108 [13:52] Having an issue, could anyone help? [13:52] (lubuntu) [13:52] HElephant start with a quetion [13:52] question* [13:52] *another question, the real one. [13:53] there's also #lubuntu [13:53] !lubuntu [13:53] 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. [13:54] 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] Ari-Yang, I've been there, I am there now. It's kind of dead. [13:55] *nod* [13:55] HElephant: and then? [13:55] 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. [13:57] HElephant: CTRL+ALT+F2, grep EE /var/log/Xorg*log [13:58] HElephant: what video chip do you use> [13:58] reisio, should I do this when I get the problem or before the installation? [13:59] ActionParsnip, urgh, some ATI Rage card. [13:59] HElephant: to try and fix it [13:59] you could also fix it from a graphical environment by booting up the install media again, and doing 'try' instead of 'install' [14:00] but that'll take longer (at least to someone who can stand being outside of X) [14:00] bbl [14:00] reisio, but should I do this before or after I get "Starting LightDM Display Manager [OK]"? [14:03] helgikrs1: Are you get that last line, login at the console and run 'pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log'. [14:03] D'oh. [14:03] Wrong person, sorry. [14:03] HElephant: After you get that last line, run 'pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log'. You might need to install pastebinit first with apt-get. [14:04] adamk_, are you sure I can do this without an proper installation? === jinie is now known as jinie_ [14:09] I'm trying to edit an "auto.sh" script for Guest Session. I have the code reading like I want, but the dialog box is so big you can't see the ok button? Any suggestions? : http://www.pasteall.org/43235 [14:12] HElephant: Well you can certainly try :-) [14:12] HElephant: Worst case scenario is that it doesn't work. [14:18] I'm not sure what kind of script it is, I'm just trying to make the dialog box smaller in size. For some reason it has a bunch of blank space: http://www.raspberrypi.org/archives/4204 [14:18] oops, wrong link [14:19] http://www.pasteall.org/43235 [14:20] Hey guys, my gitg --version lists 0.2.5.0 but sudo apt-cache show gitg lshows 0.2.5.1~exp0 is available.

Just want it barebones and then I will add bind and dhcp to it [14:21] ubuntulog: help [14:21] ubottu: help [14:21] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [14:22] adamk_, couldn't barely get into CTRL + ALT + F2 [14:22] could barely* [14:22] elij, did you try the 'Software Updater'??? [14:22] * elijah ^ [14:23] Ari-Yang: yes, software updater doesn't list anything new [14:23] what is the point of ctrl+alt+F2 [14:23] faulkmore: tty [14:24] elijah, sudo apt-get dist-upgrade in terminal [14:24] which ubuuntu would you recommand for a mini? [14:24] !dist-upgrade [14:24] A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [14:24] I am thinking "~exp0" means experimental though [14:25] How do i know how out of date my dist is? [14:25] Need to know when is a good time to use dist-upgrade [14:26] hello devolopers [14:26] faulkmore: What version are you using [14:26] faulkmore, I generally run dist-upgrade once a week ... [14:26] lubuntu 12.04 [14:26] ActionParsnip: might you know a thing about bash scripts? At least I think it is bash: http://www.pasteall.org/43235 [14:27] i never knew about the dist-upgrade command [14:28] how configure multitopuch screen ? [14:28] xinput fails [14:28] Doesn't the Upgrade Manager also do the dist-upgrade? [14:28] What do you tihink of ubuntu touch? [14:28] !touch|kekko, [14:28] 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] 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 [14:29] 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] 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] kubuntu is bad? [14:29] define "bad" [14:29] adamk_, after 5 sec it closed down all processes and shut down. [14:29] I shut the upgrade manager off cuz it was annoying [14:29] orrible [14:30] thanks for the advice [14:30] this chat is very GOOD [14:30] kekko, not very definitive response. I've used kubuntu but prefer Ubuntustudio. To each his own. [14:30] thanks for your answer [14:30] Ari-Yang: dis-upgrade doesn't list anything to do [14:30] i've used the upgrade manager with over 300 upgrades needed. Never had any problems [14:31] wow [14:31] elijah, you sure you typed in dist-upgrade and not dis-upgrade (which you just typed)? [14:31] and if it doesn't, I dunno then [14:32] maybe going to the PPA's launchpad page or something, you can download the .deb of the latest version there? [14:33] mozilla [14:33] Ari-Yang: Correct, it went throught the process and list 0 items to upgrade [14:33] mac os x is set on linux?

[14:35] kekko, what raub said, if you're curious, do some googling [14:35] what is the top FEDORA or ubuntu?

[14:43] raub: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:43] raub, I've not played with it enough to provide meaningful advice. sorry. [14:44] acerimmer: no worries. And I do know your character ;) [14:44] raub, what a guy! [14:45] raub: the key thing is the purpose of such installation, maybe ubuntu is not the right choice for you specific project [14:46] 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 the ping has to go through. It always uses the not connected ethernet. ( http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774145/ ) [14:46] So I kinda broke my user account somehow? I was trying to install a new graphics driver, but that went wonky, but was able to get to the driver selection by right clicking on the desktop and choosing change desktop, then going to all settings and getting to the graphics section [14:47] However, now that I am back to the default driver -- Unity is still screwed up. All my windows have title bars on them but there is no unity bar or top bar thing [14:47] When I log into the guest account it is working fine, so it's something to do with my user account [14:48] 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 [14:51] teamcoltra, You could delete the hidden configs in your user home directory [14:52] when you relogin, they'll come back [14:52] which distro of ubuntu should i use on a mini with 1.6 ghz cpu and 1 gig of ram? === aciremAukkinoS is now known as SonikkuAmerica [14:53] Yoshi1, I have a 13.04 installed, and it works fine [14:53] 1.8ghz cpu [14:53] cool i was worried the mini would be under speced wheatthin === Guest41210 is now known as wheaties466 [14:55] 1g ram will work Yoshi1 , but it's the minimum for ubuntu [14:59] Hi, my laptop has an ethernet and a wifi device.

( http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774145/ ) [15:02] Hmm duelle, did you specify a specific route/gateway ? === me is now known as Guest66149 [15:03] duelle if you can ping an IP address, but not a URL, then it's a DNS issue -- try ping [ip address] [15:03] MonkeyDust, it's translating [15:04] All ubuntu native twitter clients I use (polly, turpial, hotot) have suddenly stopped authenticating correctly -- any ideas? [15:04] wheatthin: I didn't define a route. I only defined a gateway for the eth0 device. The wlan0 is configured via dhcp. [15:05] that's the problem [15:06] wheatthin: Ping doesn't use the correctly connected wlan0 card even if i enforce it with the -I parameter. [15:06] that's because you defined the gateway to ethernet . [15:06] connected or not, that's what you defined it to do [15:07] wheatthin: But isn't the gateway dependent on the device? I defined the gateway for eth0 [15:07] gateway means gateway out of the network [15:08] wheatthin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774210/ Thats what my /etc/network/interfaces looks liek [15:09] comment out the eth0 stuff [15:10] 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 [15:11] so your gateway will be your wifi net not the ethernet [15:11] uncomment the gateway and try that [15:11] wheatthin: ok, thx - I'll try ;) [15:13] Can someone help me figure out how to get shrewsoft vpn working? It appears installed, and the applications 'launch' but keeps saying ti can't connect to the key daemon [15:13] hi [15:13] SebastianFlyte, ping [15:13] wheatthin: Seems to work ;) thanks a lot! So I think I misunderstood the gateway setting [15:13] :) [15:13] too bad kasansweat left [15:13] I was going to say, it's probably Twitter API changes [15:14] hi. how can I change the icon of a shortcut on my desktop on ubuntu 12.04? [15:14] Twitter doesn't care for any devs other than its own. [15:14] sienez: /usr/share/applications/.desktop [15:15] SuperLag, name of app... it's a shell script [15:15] SuperLag, what name does it have? /bin/sh? [15:15] sienez: then I would create a .desktop file for that script, in /usr/share/applications/ [15:16] sienez: what does your script do? [15:16] it simply calls a python file in /usr/share [15:16] 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] SuperLag, it just starts a gui [15:17] sienez: I'd create a .desktop file for it. That will also put it in your Unity search, or Applications menu [15:17] 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] maybe do emails [15:17] SuperLag, it looks like this: #!/bin/sh /path/to/app.py [15:17] how do I add the key for a ppa, or disable its verification? apt-get upgrade says "6 not updated" [15:18] 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] Yoshi1, then your friend should be fine ...hope she enjoys ubuntu :) [15:18] !pkgfile apt-add-repository [15:18] 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) [15:19] 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] do we have a !whatpackageisthisfilein command? [15:19] cheers [15:19] taxi [15:19] CalimeroTeknik, apt-get update should tell you the errors of which is erroring [15:19] 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 [15:20] leehambley: there's some talk here that I haven't read through: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=571054 [15:20] Debian bug 571054 in pbuilder "Divert /sbin/initctl to fix start(8) in lucid postinsts."

[15:27] SuperLag, is there any documentation for the fields in a .desktop file? Eg, i took as template the one for transmission-gtk. it says Icon=transmission. Which path are they looking for the icons? [15:27] locutusofborg1, why would you need a ppa for vlc anyways? [15:27] Can anyone point me to a guide to make my current monitor settings permanet in ubuntu 13.04? I have the settings right where I want them using the guides for Xrandr..but cant find an Xorg.conf to make them stick! [15:27] this is the master trunk [15:27] the upcoming 2.1, not the stable [15:27] nvm guys it's done :) reading the man page helps! [15:27] sp2er: what graphics driver are you using? [15:28] ch3cooh: yes, there is, but don't 777 it, use a group [15:28] ivy bridge intel HD 4000 [15:28] locutusofborg1, then it's not our problem :) === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [15:28] wheatthin: a builder misconfigured it is [15:28] if it's unstable, what do you expect? [15:28] the problem is the BUILDER, do you understand? [15:28] not the code [15:28] https://launchpad.net/builders/hamsa/+history [15:28] it is eating every build [15:29] lol bye. [15:29] I need somebody with privileges for stopping the builder [15:29] hi, is it safe for me to put export TERM="xterm-256color" in .bashrc? [15:30] Reisio: I am using just onboad Intel HD 4000 graphics [15:30] krz: worst you'd have to do is undo it [15:30] reisio: export TERM="xterm-256color" in bashrc, will have 256 color enabled in terminal by default right? even for programs like vim? [15:30] sp2er: http://askubuntu.com/questions/63681/how-can-i-make-xrandr-customization-permanent ? [15:31] krz: either it will or it won't [15:31] reisio: but that is intended right? [15:32] krz: sounds possible [15:32] thanks [15:32] Reisio: I did come across that guide...but I dont know where to locate that Xorg.conf file...it is not in the folder as suggested by that guide...nothing like that under the X 11 folder here [15:32] what's the simplest way to change the icon of a file on the desktop? [15:33] depends on the file [15:33] sp2er: you can make the directory [15:33] it starts a python script [15:33] sienez: is it a .desktop file? [15:33] it's a one liner: /path/to/script.py [15:33] sp2er: oh, although, you should probably use xorg.conf.d === mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|afk [15:34] sp2er: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/ [15:34] !DMZ [15:34] sienez: so it's a plain text file? [15:34] reisio, yes [15:34] Reisio: ok I will check that guide out [15:34] sienez: what do you want the icon to be? [15:34] sienez: sorry, been on another window. You can point to the path where your icon graphic is. [15:34] the logo of the program it launches [15:35] sienez: okay, you might want to replace it with a .desktop file, then [15:35] SuperLag, yes I did that. however the logo didnt change [15:35] sienez: right click, you can probably find 'create launcher' or the like [15:35] just make a dummy one then edit it with a text editor, setting the icon is simple [15:35] reisio, nah, all i can do is create an empty text document [15:36] sienez: they are empty text documents [15:36] well, not empty :p [15:36] http://linuxcritic.wordpress.com/2010/04/07/anatomy-of-a-desktop-file/ [15:37] reisio: ohhh.... good info. [15:37] reisio: I wish I would have had that doc a LONG time ago :) [15:37] there's a wizard with most DEs that you can get to from the right-click context menu, on the desktop [15:38] but yeah, it's nice to know it's just a text file [15:38] er, now I have no error at all, but apt-get upgrade says "6 packages not upgraded", I want them upgraded [15:38] what should I do? [15:38] can I say apt-get install repository/package ? [15:38] choose a different one [15:38] reisio: I found it it was a .desktop file, and then proceeded to edit. Never had any guide to follow. [15:39] well, that's just some stupid blog post [15:39] it should be in a man page somewhere [15:39] alas I don't know which ATM [15:41] anybody knows how to install netbeans since im having problems [15:41] CalimeroTeknik, try this one http://www.unixmen.com/vlc-2-0-7-has-been-released-ppa-ubuntu/ [15:41] azazel91: what've you tried? [15:42] latest stable [15:42] you mean commands? [15:42] SuperLag: man desktop-file-edit [15:44] wheatthin, do you mean I must remove the ppa and re-add it with add-apt-repository? [15:44] yup [15:44] does that change anything? [15:44] what will it do that I didn't? [15:45] it will install fine. [15:45] maybe the problem is that I added it at the bottom of sources.list [15:45] and work [15:45] and be a daily build [15:45] lol no [15:45] I'm not installing VLC [15:45] is it possible to add libcrypto.so.1.0.0 to debian lenny ????? [15:45] I'm upgrading libboost to v1.49 [15:45] umm sorry, I don't get it. here's what my files look like: paste.ubuntu.com/5774327 [15:45] and apt-get proudly NOT upgrades it albeit my adding the ppa [15:46] reisio: nice. I didn't know it was a standard. [15:46] yeah, freedesktop.org thing [15:47] probably a better man page [15:47] * reisio shrugs [15:48] hi [15:48] just curious. does anyone else have this problems that the root is filled up to max very fast? Problem is the uvcdynctrl-udev.log file located in /var/logs that can take Gigabytes of space? [15:49] sienez: I'm looking. Hold on just a second. [15:49] found a bug on launchpad, but no real solution. especially not why its floodin my hdd? [15:49] 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? [15:50] CalimeroTeknik, that's all it does is at it to the source list [15:50] 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] subz3r0: are you using the uvcdynctrl package for something? [15:50] CalimeroTeknik, apt-get update, updates the source [15:50] SuperLag, exactly [15:50] CalimeroTeknik, and apt-get upgrade upgrades [15:50] CalimeroTeknik: it also gets/update PGP keys [15:50] I did apt-get update;apt-get upgrade [15:51] I did that as well manually [15:51] the key [15:51] SolarisBoy: sorry i did not mention. Its on my netbook with a build in webcam [15:51] now apt-get just says there are 6 non-upgraded packages [15:51] and I want it to upgrade them but it won't [15:51] 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] subz3r0: i dont believe that is a built in package of ubuntu's [15:51] SolarisBoy: found this bug:https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libwebcam/+bug/811604. But there is not a real solution for this problem [15:51] Launchpad bug 811604 in libwebcam (Ubuntu) "uvcdynctrl spams uvcdynctrl-udev.log and fills up filesystem" [Undecided,Confirmed] [15:51] CalimeroTeknik, that means they are up to their latest at THAT ppa [15:52] aren't! [15:52] I still have the ones from the main repos [15:52] SolarisBoy: there is also no reason for this bug. It must be from the ubuntu repos. I did not install anything from other sourced. [15:52] sienez: I would recommend making your icon a PNG file [15:52] it's possible that a package that you installed has this "bug" of over logging - [15:53] is what im getting at. =) [15:53] doesn't mean "ubuntu" will be fixing it or explaining why - my question is - are you "using" that package? [15:53] SolarisBoy: i did not install this package. 100% sure. it will be installed when ubuntu is checking for the hardware while installation [15:53] afaik you don't need that to run any uvc camera - [15:53] SuperLag, ok [15:53] CalimeroTeknik, i'm saying at that ppa maintained by someone, although it may not be the latest, is the latest at that ppa, understand? [15:54] not at all [15:54] SolarisBoy: got a hint how i can check when it was installed? [15:54] I want boost 1.49 so I added this https://launchpad.net/~mapnik/+archive/boost [15:55] CalimeroTeknik, right, and he might now have it at it's latest update from the official release [15:55] apt-get update;apt-get upgrade give no errors (I imported the key as well) but say "not upgraded" [15:55] I still have 1.46 [15:55] which is the version in the main repo [15:55] right.. which the maintainer probably didn't have it upgraded yet [15:55] how do I install v1.49 from this ppa? === akshay__ is now known as akshay_r [15:56] CalimeroTeknik, search for the right ppa [15:56] subz3r0: maybe with dpkg-log-summary or '/var/log/dpkg.log' [15:56] that must be this one [15:56] anyway the version is superior to that I have [15:56] CalimeroTeknik, so you assume [15:56] it's a superior version! [15:56] apt-get is refusing to go from 1.46 to 1.49 [15:57] I don't understand [15:57] I used the repo for the right version of ubuntu (precise, 12.04) [15:57] I don't even [15:57] CalimeroTeknik: use apt-get dist-upgrade instead [15:57] SolarisBoy: i found a dirty solution. backup the file and set debug=0. but that cant be a real solution to fix this isse. also its weird that only people with a laptop have this problem [15:58] not really [15:58] ahhh thanks utusan ! [15:58] none with a normal usb webcam on a pc at home [15:58] CalimeroTeknik: np [15:59] 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] especially if it's just a case of over logging something informational [15:59] 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] what was your camera doing? [15:59] the cam? Nothing [15:59] have you looked at the messages in the logs? at what they say? [16:00] might be overgrowing debug logs [16:00] exactly [16:00] SolarisBoy: .log had 6,3gigs. wasnt able to open it ;) even starting gnome was not possible anymore. so i had to boot the recovery mode and delete this fine on the root console [16:00] head/tail it [16:00] now the file has just 4kb [16:00] possibly/likely the same message repeated [16:01] thats because you deleted it or backed it up.. [16:01] wait a sec please. will pastebin the actual file [16:01] its not a solution really it's just preventing the inevitable [16:01] subz3r0: cat /dev/null > /path/to/bigfile.log makes them smaller :) [16:01] subz3r0, have autoremoved and autocleaned after upgrading lately ? [16:02] heh [16:02] subz3r0: or: echo DIE | sudo tee /path/to/bigfile.log [16:02] just a sec ;) will post it on pastebin :) [16:03] take an extract [16:03] the buig file is gone. since i wasnt able to do anything with 0 byte space left :/ [16:03] rm -rf .... [16:03] recursive isn't necessary for one file [16:03] you can just :>file [16:04] webcams are extremely noisy devices on the usb bus btw -reading your link it seems to be a problem that occurs when things naturally would get noisy "bringing up a VM guest (which may also be trying to reroute usb to ), disconnecting the webcam while it's running " [16:04] subz3r0, autoremove and autoclean is your friend for keeping / to a minimum size [16:05] BlueEagle: mhh? have you read my postings above? [16:05] without the root console even sudo rm -rf file was not possible... [16:05] also not running programs that spam your root drive [16:05] =) [16:06] ok subz3r0 nm , but you mentioned root was getting full [16:07] http://pastebin.com/b7Kz5CE7 [16:07] there it is [16:07] SolarisBoy: plz have a look on it [16:07] subz3r0 in a terminal, paste this line find / -size +1G -exec ls -lh {} \; 2>/dev/null [16:08] how do I query for a list of installed packages? [16:08] dpkg -l [16:08] CalimeroTeknik: ^ [16:09] thanks [16:09] MonkeyDust: and thats for? :) === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ [16:09] ah, I have boost 1.46 [16:09] and 1.49 installed [16:09] I intended for it to be upgraded [16:10] how can I remove all the 1.46 boost packages? [16:10] MonkeyDust: i know which files are > 1gb. The problem is something different ;) [16:10] 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] and i wouldn't worry about it after that if so.. [16:11] subz3r0, try using logrotate if logs are getting too big [16:11] thanks for the help guys. but thats not the problem ;) [16:12] IF this is something that just started happening AGAIN - you may want to think that something changed with your camera [16:12] 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] Launchpad bug 811604 in libwebcam (Ubuntu) "uvcdynctrl spams uvcdynctrl-udev.log and fills up filesystem" [Undecided,Confirmed] [16:12] loose connection on the baord - understanding that it is likely a cheap camera and likely to be broken somehow - [16:12] subz3r0: your not understanding - [16:12] thats not indicative of a BUG [16:12] SolarisBoy: the cam is working properly [16:12] it's an occurence in a program [16:12] subz3r0: then disable the logging as they advised [16:13] like i said [16:13] SolarisBoy: I did not change anything. The problem just came up today [16:13] then again - check your system === BradCrittenden is now known as bac [16:13] i've also windows running on the machine. also no problem with the cam or other devices [16:13] windows isn't using generic drivers to run your hardware [16:14] SolarisBoy: did you read the bug notice @launchpad?

I'm going back and forth between this and work. Check this out: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774421/ [16:16] deletet i sometimes get that error in virtualbox -- are you installing that in virtualbox? [16:16] i dont know what your hunting down if you have resolved your logging issue and confirmed the web cam works [16:16] no on a real laptop [16:16] sienez: You can add more options to that, but that's the bare minimum [16:16] SuperLag, Thanks I'll try! [16:17] deletet i guess your pc a 32bit and you want to install 64bit === Lebby1 is now known as Lebby [16:17] MonkeyDust ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386 is not for 32bit poc? [16:17] SolarisBoy: checked the dpkg.log - cant find an entry for uvcdynctrl. so what would you do now? [16:18] 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] subz3r0: figure out what uses it... [16:18] subz3r0: apparently its a dependancy of libwebcam - [16:18] SuperLag, sure does. The desktop link works already, it's just the eyecandy icon thing ;) [16:19] SolarisBoy: how to figure that out? :) [16:19] i don't have this installed on my system with attached logitech cams ::shrugs:: [16:19] 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] subz3r0: i ran 'apt-cache show uvcdynctrl' [16:19] SolarisBoy: it could be from Lxde desktop(since i installed it too) or from the program "motion" which i have installed to. [16:19] it tells you the source of the package [16:20] subz3r0: sounds like "motion" [16:20] there is an application for webcams within lxde desktop [16:20] i know.. [16:20] and thats the underlying tool it uses most likely [16:20] or one [16:20] SolarisBoy: looks like you came to your senses :) You should s/SolarisBoy/UbuntuBoy though :) [16:21] blah [16:21] i could do UbuntuGuy maybe not UbuntuBoy though [16:21] doesn't have the same flare [16:22] deletet: http://askubuntu.com/questions/117744/how-can-i-install-on-a-non-pae-cpu-error-kernel-requires-features-not-present [16:22] SolarisBoy: I work in a Solaris shop, and I curse under my breath on a regular basis. If I'd have learned Solaris first, and then Linux, it wouldn't be so bad. But since I learned Linux first... going to Solaris feels like stepping back about 15 years. [16:22] If fstab is on /etc, how do I mount /etc? [16:22] SolarisBoy: checked with apt-cache show... but nothing about motion, guvcview [16:23] lol SuperLag, I started on gentoo.. I know how you feel :) [16:23] SolarisBoy: Solaris 11 being the only exception. It feel s more modern. [16:23] hello there [16:23] SuperLag: agreed. on that =) [16:23] SolarisBoy: which part? :) [16:23] for the record i started on Linux based OS also.

I know a thing or two about Gentoo. Google "Gentoo SuperLag" [16:25] Deformative: I've never heard of someone keeping /etc/ as a separate partition from '/', and the initramfs scripts mount the root FS from the root=UUID= argument on the linux cmdline. [16:25] is solaris such a pain in the .... ? atm im dealin with cisco... but its fun :) [16:25] SolarisBoy: ActionParsnip: no way. 10 is still a mess. :) [16:25] SuperLag: Im liking it personally [16:25] subz3r0: no relation [16:25] but for Linux... I'm liking Ubuntu [16:25] SuperLag: same, and tinycore [16:25] subz3r0: about as much pain as you make it - if your like me - oracle support runs when you call...

[16:42] servercbe: thats all? should be a bit longer :> [16:42] also the other logs please. you can use gedit too. if you like a gui based notepad more [16:42] servercbe, I'd advise using pastebinit in console [16:42] how? [16:43] gedit /var/log/syslog [16:43] !pastebinit [16:43] pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [16:43] or follow wheatthin guess.. pastebinit is fine :) [16:43] Brasil ??

Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [16:45] je parle français [16:46] ik spreek nederlands [16:47] Is there any other info, do you need? [16:47] ivymike, we speak english here [16:47] !nl > ivymike [16:47] !nl | ivymike [16:47] ivymike, please see my private message [16:47] ivymike: Nederlandstalige ondersteuning voor Ubuntu (en vers gezette koffie) is te vinden in #ubuntu-nl [16:47] how this bot knows what langage I'm speaking ? [16:47] ivymike: its a magic ;) [16:47] Does it look into a dictionnary ? [16:47] servercbe: i see a lot of messages of your NICs going down/up [16:48] what it does mean SolarisBoy? [16:48] 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] after a scandisk, it seems to work intermittently [16:48] let's try an exotic language [16:48] I need to find a permanent fix for this. [16:48] aful sqip [16:49] I have been traying to share some file over the network but! and and use a print share but unfortunatly did not work [16:50] lol the bot doesn't know every language, once again the man beats the machine [16:50] ops... and I've been trying to use a print shared [16:51] looks like you've been also mounting network block devices which may be hanging and rebooting your system [16:51] servercbe: did the errors ocure before you tried to share? [16:51] yes [16:51] nbd_server occurs also x times [16:52] How do I fix that??? [16:52] technically i see one error in your log and it's concerning the X server [16:52] fix what? what time did your server reboot? dmesg does not generally have spectaccular data on stuff like shudt downs - [16:52] as the system shut down = your best bet is looking at the data logically and trying to understand what happened around those times [16:53] has about 9 days doing it.. restarting the thin clients [16:53] so other than that ERROR in your log - and those network flops - ::shrugs:: not sure [16:53] if it's restarting ALL the thin clients you should be looking at something more globally no? [16:53] like the network - which ironically is flipping like hot cakes in your logs [16:53] lol :D [16:54] goeiemorgen [16:55] guten morgen ivymike [16:55] lol i'm trying to understand the bot [16:55] hmmm your thin clients run DHCP servers on them? [16:56] ivymike: if we can see that some guy/girl in here is trying to speak his or her native lang. we use the bot to point them in the right direction [16:56] !de | subz3r0 [16:56] subz3r0, please see my private message [16:56] servercbe: how do your thin clients configure their network on boot? pxe/dhcp? [16:56] !de > subz3r0 [16:57] I think Pxe/ dhco [16:57] My computer works just fine, and then all of a sudden, everything hangs and I have to reboot. What do I do? [16:57] in fact that's what i see when they are logging in [16:57] servercbe: easy then.. [16:57] yes. [16:57] you have some conflict thats causing them to boot and shut down - it may be a network conflick [16:58] 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] so question... do you have multiple nics on your "thin clients" for whatever reason? [16:58] oh I thought the bot finds out the langage I'm speaking with an algorithme [16:58] --> /var/log [16:58] Whic particular log? [16:58] *Which [16:58] syslog [16:58] kernel [16:59] check the temperature too [16:59] each pc only has 1 ethernet [16:59] I already checked, and I see nothing there. [16:59] last one is the first thing that i would do under this circuumstances(summer) [16:59] 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] servercbe: ^ [17:00] My temps are fine. [17:00] 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] 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] an... [17:00] no not if your pxe booting.. [17:00] good to know [17:00] and nto if when he says he sees the pxe boot stuff on the screen when he gets there [17:01] did not read that... preparing my lunch meanwhile :> [17:01] 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] im that hungry, i could eat a whole cow :D [17:01] so if you have multiple dhcps on one network - i can see your pxe halting there and being confused [17:02] 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] eating the cow is fine - passing it may get a little crazy [17:02] hello [17:02] servercbe: and then you log in and it reboots? [17:02] SolarisBoy: hrhr [17:03] not at the moment. take a moment or 10 minutes [17:03] and then reboot [17:03] and I got an username screen again [17:03] interesting [17:03] min|dvir|us: I would check when the problems begin (time) and check the logs for that time [17:03] servercbe: you will need to gather more data then [17:03] servercbe: can you recreate the issue? [17:03] like? [17:04] servercbe: ^^ and looking at more logs than just one from the time of boot to shutdown [17:04] any in specific? any command to get that info? [17:04] tons of them - tail/cat/grep [17:05] im on an ubuntu server with no tun module, anyone know how i can install just the tun module? [17:05] there is always a tradeoff either you know what your looking for or have an idea === marahin is now known as Guest24221 [17:05] 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 [17:06] how can i see hwat [oprts are open [17:06] wow!!!!! I got a lot!!! [17:07] do I need to copy all and paste it? === folivora_ is now known as folivora [17:07] no.. you need to look at it [17:07] dont get all hyped - its probably mostly not relevant to you - but it's a start [17:08] Anyone know how i can see what ports are open in Terminal? [17:08] netstat [17:08] thanks [17:08] netstat -a [17:08] lsof | ss [17:08] :) [17:08] dammit, i feel stupid now, ofcourse. [17:08] dont [17:08] netstat -ln [17:09] /var/log/kern.log.1:Jun 14 09:21:49 servercbe kernel: [ 8696.769637] sd 5:0:0:0: [sdb] Unhandled error code [17:10] *thats not neccessarily bad* [17:10] /var/log/kern.log.1:Jun 14 09:39:04 servercbe kernel: [ 9731.144603] ri-li[21486]: segfault at 8 ip 000000000040b6ad sp 00007ffff70c4fd0 error 4 in ri-li[400000+10000] [17:10] oh nice there you go [17:10] also not neccearsily it - but its a crash of something. [17:10] netstat tulpen :> [17:10] i love it :P [17:10] thats not today though so bleh [17:10] i like netstat pony =) [17:11] i call it pony but it's netstat -pone [17:11] yeh :P [17:11] /var/log/Xorg.1.log: (WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown. [17:11] i actually see these things to co workers and it bugs then out "sure just type netstat pony." [17:12] tulpen = tulips.. thats why :) [17:12] then you see some guy at the console getting some error cause they really typed pony on the terminal [17:12] netstat? [17:12] servercbe: nono.. that wasnt for you =) [17:12] oh, ok... [17:12] i watched this one guy do "pseudo reboot" i lold [17:12] 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? [17:13] sounds like the guy whos searchin for the "any key" key :P [17:13] saw another guy have a hissy fit cause he couldn't fine the "pseudo" command.. [17:13] lol [17:13] 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] SolarisBoy: there is a ring belling here.... maybe powertop could have something to do with my issue? [17:14] Ok... I have class now.. I will comeback as soon as possible... Thanks! [17:14] servercbe: ciao [17:14] powertop causing your issue with your webcam? [17:15] lets see what happens when i run powertop with this damn cam [17:15] im not exactly sure. [17:16] hmm [17:17] the file is gettin bigger... very slowly but .. [17:18] its almost pretty amazing all the time... when i get some erros... its something special :P [17:18] +r [17:18] 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] 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? [17:19] Do I need to check the result code for every action? [17:19] narcos: exit people generally make it non-zero [17:19] narcos: you really should @question 2 [17:20] 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] SolarisBoy: ok [17:20] now dinner then zZZzZ [17:20] ;> [17:20] k [17:20] * narcos finds http://www.thinkplexx.com/learn/snippet/shell/advanced/automatically-install-package-with-apt-get-install-clean-exit-if-it-fails [17:21] salut ! [17:22] narcos: #bash is always a good place to idle when trying to get things done with scripts :> [17:22] anyone know anywhere i can go to try to fix my problem? [17:23] narcos: that should work fine. you can reuse that function after the important parts of your script [17:23] SolarisBoy: OK cool [17:23] SPV2008: google? if it's a driver issue then see if anybody else has a problem with the same hw you have. [17:23] subz3r0: k ta :) [17:23] 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)? [17:24] 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] narcos: many ways for something like devilspie you may want to run it once the display manager is "started" [17:24] SPV2008, you gotta be inventive with the search terms [17:25] SolarisBoy, were you talking to me there? [17:25] 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] I've explained my issue, what more do you need me to say? [17:25] bennypr0fane: yes sorry. [17:25] i'll explain what you need. [17:25] bcs my question involves devilspie [17:25] i've also searched on google. [17:26] and no solutions at all. [17:26] SPV2008: you gave us almost zero information [17:26] SPV2008, which terms have you tried? [17:26] hello [17:26] SolarisBoy: I've been learning about and using upstart this week - awesome tool [17:26] I've searched for click not working ubuntu, mouse sticking ubuntu, just various terms relating to those. [17:26] SPV2008: or did i skipped the info? Which laptop is it? [17:26] SolarisBoy, just tell me the way you would know in most detail [17:26] I didn't say what type of computer it was, but i explained my problem in detail. Its a Lenovo 3000 N100 [17:26] any idea how can i get a 3.9 kernel on precise with aufs mod without having to compile it myself ? [17:27] SPV2008: maybe it could be important to know which pc it is [17:27] I'll copy and paste my problem again if you want. [17:27] bennypr0fane: i know each in detail each is super simple [17:27] 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] SolarisBoy, shoot [17:27] if you want to just slap it in there throw it in rc.local [17:27] if you want to do it right do it in upstart [17:27] SPV2008: but if its a driver issue, its essential to know which hardware it is. You may want to check dmesg [17:27] whatever is safer to work [17:27] the command i'll leave to you to put together one sec ill paste you something [17:27] kk. one moment. [17:28] bennypr0fane: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774614/ [17:28] Oh, hmm. it says in dmesg that its losing sync [17:28] it says it lost sync at byte 1 and byte 4 [17:28] SPV2008, you should find out what specific build your hardware is. The touchpad not working, is it? === fromulo is now known as romulobr [17:28] that is a simple one that starts my git daemon - you could literally replace the last 3 lines with one line . [17:28] its partially working [17:29] it seems like it occasionally sticks, or the mouse skips around the screen a bit erratically. [17:29] and when it does, i have to relog to get it working again [17:29] bennypr0fane: that line would be - exec su - -c "devilspie" [17:29] SPV2008: did you check to turn off the powersavemode? a friend of mine got an issue like that ages ago [17:29] fill in user with who you want to run devilspie as [17:29] Where do i do that? [17:30] SolarisBoy, no need for "script" and end script"? [17:30] bennypr0fane: nope === cent4urus is now known as Guest24220 [17:30] in your case i don't see why atleast [17:30] in fact i dont need it either =) [17:31] I am getting an error that says Error splicing file: File too large? [17:31] SolarisBoy, so I insert this in upstart? [17:32] 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] bennypr0fane: you make that a file somewhere under /etc/init/ with the suffix .conf === Guest98901 is now known as marahin [17:32] SPV2008: i have a no english version running here... should be something like Power Settings [17:32] 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] list [17:32] anyone? [17:32] SolarisBoy, so new file, not existing one? [17:32] 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 ..." [17:33] 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] If I were to compile something via make on a computer running ubuntu, would it theoretically run on another computer running ubuntu? [17:33] sorry - reposted [17:33] bennypr0fane: new file [17:33] jakey1 where exactly are you getting that error, what are you trying to do in which program in which OS etc.etc..... blah [17:34] I've looked at the power settings and it just has lid closing and stuff in it [17:34] ubuntu 12.04 copying files to a usb [17:34] SolarisBoy, I need to make that executable after, yes? [17:34] SPV2008: check your acpi settings. maybe turn it completely off and check again [17:34] bennypr0fane: no [17:34] SPV2008: its just a guess [17:34] apparently...acpi isn't installed. [17:34] hmm [17:34] should i install it? [17:35] like sudo mkfile /etc/init/devilspie.conf? [17:35] its not? hmm [17:35] bennypr0fane: sudo vim /etc/init/devilspie.conf === Sir-Litepool is now known as meelu [17:35] bennypr0fane: then start by copy/paste the contents of that post - next edit to be correct [17:35] SPV2008: did you check which touchpad it is(dmesg) and searched for errors of it? [17:36] what's vim? [17:36] vim is an editor [17:36] text editor [17:36] yeah, it says it was out of sync at byte 1 and [17:36] 4 [17:36] SPV2008: no, check what vendor it is and search for issues === meelu is now known as Sir-Litepool [17:36] subz3r0, maybe lshw to take a closer look a that touchpad? [17:37] SPV2008: this is going back a bit, but if your touchpad isn't working, why do you search for "mouse sticking?" [17:37] rhizome: good point =) [17:37] it is partially working. [17:37] what happens is, sometimes i'm in an app and then the click ends up not working [17:37] im switchin to the kitchen all the time while preparing lunch... so did not read everything ;) [17:37] the click seems to sometimes get stuck, i.e. on toggles and stuff. [17:37] or drop down boxes [17:37] from what i see anyway. [17:37] I cannot make my resolution to stick in Ubuntu with internal intel graphics can anyone help? [17:37] yet there's nothing wrong with the actual touchpad. [17:38] SolarisBoy, turns out I don't have vim, some other editor? I'm Lubuntu 13.04 [17:38] vi [17:38] remove the m [17:38] or nano or gedit - whatever works for you [17:38] SPV2008: check which manufacturer it is and search for issues with this product... [17:39] ah nano that's what I couldn't remember [17:39] if you use anything graphical use gksudo [17:39] i always forget nano [17:39] on purpose.. [17:39] where would i look to find the manufacturer of the touchpad? [17:39] i THINK its synaptics, but not entirely sure. [17:39] hey, anyone have ideas with my system drive becoming "read-only". [17:39] ? [17:40] I didn't know you could just create a file just by adding the path to the command [17:40] SPV2008, try lshw in terminal [17:40] 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] bennypr0fane: most of the cli text editors allow you to do this [17:40] fm__ yeah, that must be bcs you can't write :-D === francisco is now known as Guest20683 [17:40] SPV2008: you can also try to walk the udev attributes if it's not in lshw/lspci outputs [17:41] OerHeks, maybe lshw with an option that's reduce the output for an easier search? [17:41] SPV2008: synaptic is a package manger. with this one you can install/uninstall software... like apt-get... [17:41] he's talking about synaptics with an 's', who is/was a touchpad manu [17:41] fm__: this is on your root disk? have you tried to check the file system consistency with fsck? [17:41] touchpad isn't listed. [17:41] No, synaptics touchpad. Not the package manager. [17:42] synaptics is a touchpad manufacturer. [17:42] SolarisBoy: yeah root disk [17:42] SPV2008: good to know. i know only "synaptic" :> [17:42] fm__: have you run fsck against the disk? [17:42] I thought it was a bad idea to run fsck on mounted disk - [17:42] SPV2008: you mean literally the touch pad on your laptop and not a connected device? [17:42] SolarisBoy: should I run fsck on mounted disk [17:42] ? [17:42] Yeah. [17:42] like the way IBM's use synaptic touch pads? [17:43] fm__: no you should boot into recovery mode and do it [17:43] its not connected. its built into it. [17:43] fm__: in fact you cant run fsck on a mounted disk [17:43] SPV2008: and it's not working? [17:43] SolarisBoy, vi looks funny there's just a lot of ~~~ [17:43] : that is what I thought [17:44] indicative of an empty file [17:44] 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] i have to relog to fix it [17:44] then it happens again after a while. [17:44] 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] bennypr0fane: type "i" to actually insert text [17:44] naaah, this is nonsense. It makes As and Bs when I press cursor keys no thanks [17:44] SPV2008: "dmesg | grep pad" found my Elantech Tpichpad ETPS/2 [17:45] Touch... [17:45] yeah, its a synaptics touchpad. [17:45] bennypr0fane: :set nocompatible most likely will fix that [17:45] using nano [17:45] - so when I restart - how do I get into recovery mode / [17:45] sure [17:45] the dry hump of text editors. [17:45] 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] fm__: it should be a boot option [17:45] model 1. daammnn, thats old. lol. [17:45] thanks = [17:46] trying to figure it out [17:46] because wouldn't they had already been installed with build-essentials [17:46] 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 [17:48] 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 [17:49] SolarisBoy, it now looks like this: start on startup (new line) stop on runlevel [016] (new line) respawn (new line) exec su - -c "devilspie" === Reedy_ is now known as Reedy [17:50] any suggestions for what channel may be able to help?

[17:50] dont see why not - you should test it before you finalize it though === average_drifter is now known as average [17:51] SolarisBoy, what's a "dryhump" (dosn't seem to make sense for a computer program, haha)? how can I test it beforehand?

[17:53] 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] bennypr0fane: ps auxwww|grep devilspie [17:54] thats probably much quicker especially right after you started it in the same terminal [17:54] oh my, I'm in a command-line-only thread again... [17:54] pgrep devilspie even (i hate seeing the grep of grep) [17:54] HAHAHA [17:55] Can anyone guide me with some help to make a Xorg.conf file so I can make my monitor resolution stick...I've been stumped for 2 days now [17:55] bennypr0fane: I did, everything seems setup fine, Broadcasting the SSID, radio is on, wpa-wpa2 personal is set, password is correct [17:55] !list [17:55] fabio: No warez here!

[17:56] CanWasp: Does 1440x900 show up as an available resolution, by default, when running 'xrandr' in a terminal window? [17:56] yw [17:58] adamk_: No..currently unknown monitor default is 1024x768...1440x900 only shows up after I the newmode command [17:58] Gotcha... So at least you know the modeline you have to use... Give me a second. [17:58] SolarisBoy, I get this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774714/ [17:58] CanWasp: What is the output name for that monitor? [17:59] adamk_: I dont understand your question [17:59] CanWasp, you can find out by issueing xrandr in console [17:59] CanWasp: Your monitor has name... DVI-0, HDMI-0, VGA-0, DFP1, etc... xrandr will tell you. [17:59] adamk_ : Ah yes sorry, it is VGA1 [18:00] bennypr0fane: remove the diamonds from your user name [18:00] CanWasp: And what's the modeline you create? [18:00] exec su - ben -c "devilspie" (that was part of the information to remove , sorry) [18:01] rohanb_, I searched freenode for "networking", there is a channel by that name ##networking that could be useful .lots of people there [18:01] adamk_: Modeline "1440x900_60.00" 106.50 1440 1528 1672 1904 900 903 909 934 -hsync +vsync [18:01] SolarisBoy, I'm ashamed [18:01] 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] 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 [18:02] 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] CanWasp: You can probably just take that and create /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf [18:02] 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 [18:03] <_userr> solarisboy and how to spesific just for *.txt file ? [18:03] also, my computer does not have any OS on it right now [18:04] CanWasp: Just do what I said... Take those lines and create /usr/share/X1/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf [18:04] with grep recursively you can't really you can use find though [18:05] SolarisBoy, why does it say "unknown job"? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774727/ [18:05] thats not how to start it [18:05] just sudo start devilspie [18:05] oh [18:05] !list [18:05] Znoosey: No warez here!

[18:07] * SolarisBoy has no clue what you mean [18:07] CanWasp: Run 'gksu gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf'. Then copy and paste those lines into that file and save it.

[18:08] whats the name of your file within /etc/init/ ? [18:08] adamk_: from the command line it says gsku is not installed [18:08] 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] CanWasp: gksu [18:08] CanWasp: It's gksu, not gsku. [18:09] 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 [18:09] adamk_: gksu gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf The program 'gksu' is currently not installed.

In either case, you can install it. [18:11] adamk_: I have no idea...2 days with Linux....downloaded Ubuntu 13.04...just trying to get proper resolution to stick so I can actually read things on my screen and learn about Ubuntu [18:11] CanWasp: Oh, I see, you tried and got permission denied. [18:11] can anybody help me with ubuntu installation? [18:11] CanWasp: Run 'sudo apt-get install gksu' [18:12] CanWasp: It will then ask you for your password. After installing gksu, run 'gksu gedit /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf' === mwalker|away is now known as mwalker [18:13] SolarisBoy, by "ping the name of it", you mean paste a link? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774750/ [18:13] Fonsie1990: what seems to be the problem? [18:14] its name is etc/init/devilspie.conf [18:14] Slart he described his problem a bit above [18:15] Anyone know how to remove a package via aptitude and have it *not* run the post-remove scripts? [18:15] adamk_: Ok that is all done..and in the usr/share/x11/ xorg.conf.d/monitor.conf file with that info pasted...do I just reboot? [18:15] ...but it seems Fonsie1990 is gone now [18:15] : I did run recovery mode fsck [18:15] now the graphics is messed up [18:16] bennypr0fane: remove that colon from 'description: run devil's pie on startup' [18:16] and try again [18:16] but more importantly still getting "cannot create temp file here-document: Read-only file system" [18:16] SolarisBoy, or just remove the descrition entirely? [18:17] bennypr0fane: no.. just dont use things that break whats expected [18:17] like colons where the delimeter is space [18:17] fm__: was the fsck successful? what arguments did you use? output of df -ah ? any errors in logs? [18:18] fm__: are you installing ruby using rvm? [18:18] : I run it in the recovery mode on boot up, so no argument passed, but said it was successful [18:18] yes - I am using ruby rvm [18:19] : please note, it is 13.04 [18:19] 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... [18:20] SolarisBoy, what's a delimeter? [18:20] : I believe that is the problem, as one of the previous messages said, cannot load /tmp or something like that [18:20] : can you tell me how to make sure ? [18:20] fm__: fix/check permissions [18:20] fm__: ls to check chmod if needed to fix [18:21] bennypr0fane: I usually think of delimiters as characters that define the beginning and ending of fields. [18:21] bennypr0fane: some other type of ramfs) and ensure it has permissions... ( 14:20 bennypr0f ) [18:21] grr [18:21] : i am in temp, shows it is owned by root , permissions are 777 [18:21] and shows t at the end... [18:21] For example, spreadsheets usually can export to comma-delimitted fields, and the column fields are separated by commas ','. [18:22] umm, what? [18:22] dont confuse your self [18:22] remove the colon [18:22] Does anyone here use full disk encryption? [18:22] not me....

If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:23] houkouonchi-home: why do you want to do this? [18:23] 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] 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 [18:24] jrib: I want it to just remove them and i will manually do an update-grub after [18:24] GeorgeTorwell: I wouold say probably not, but that is only a gut feeling, not an experience thing [18:24] : any ideas ? /tmp shows owned by root and permissions are set to 777+t [18:24] bennypr0fane: do this please ls -ltrh /etc/init/devilspie.conf and let me know if you get any error [18:24] 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] 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] that file should work if it's there otherwise - i hope you removed the colon - because thats breaking it if not === alexbligh1 is now known as alexbligh [18:25] 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] 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] of course the mbr can't be encrypted [18:25] houkouonchi-home: involving the kernel, I believe there are "special" hooks. Let me search; one second [18:25] 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 [18:26] but /boot should be right? otherwise an attacker can just replace your /boot with whatever he wants [18:26] jrib: thanks [18:26] bennypr0fane: that ps is only showing the grep process as running, not showing anything else called devilspie running, btw [18:26] on a scale from papercut to hindenburg, how dangerous is it to shrink a windows partition that's half empty via gparted?? [18:26] houkouonchi-home: http://kernel-handbook.alioth.debian.org/ch-update-hooks.html that probably tells you want you need [18:26] Somethingnicer: just make a backup first [18:26] SolarisBoy, ~$ ls -ltrh /etc/init/devilspie.conf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 119 Jun 17 20:20 /etc/init/devilspie.conf again no idea what this is upposed to tell me === jagger|away is now known as jagger [18:27] Somethingnicer: normally it should be fine without issues, did that already multiple times [18:27] bennypr0fane: repost the contents of the file so i can verify your edit [18:27] is anybody able to help me with ubuntu install?

I've cleaned it, defragged and disabled page file already [18:28] Somethingnicer: no i was just resizing it [18:28] fair enough [18:28] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5774800/ [18:28] Somethingnicer: but i made a backup first [18:29] yeah that's always a good idea [18:29] Somethingnicer: not only when resizing :) [18:29] don't have any backup with me at the moment though, so this 22GB partition is going to suffice for now.. [18:34] Hey all === timothy is now known as stelthpanther [18:35] 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 [18:36] 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] I mean if it keeps rebooting instead of executing the option you chose from the menu, that probably means the boot medium is corrupted [18:37] Fonsie1990: how did you image the flash drive? [18:37] it boots into "Installer boot menu" and when i select " Install Ubuntu on a hard disk" it reboots the computer and goes back into the boot menu once again [18:37] ok [18:37] I just installed ubuntu on my flash drive and when loading it says that it cannot identify my graphics card.

[18:39] the one that goes into memtest86+? [18:40] Fonsie1990, no [18:40] Fonsie1990: the check disk option [18:40] memtest sounds like the actual grub boot menu [18:40] i dont see it, i am currently trying the universal usb installer which has a different boot menu [18:41] or can you run memtest also from a installer medium? [18:41] Fonsie1990, check the downloaded image first [18:41] then mount it to the flash drive [18:41] then check that [18:41] Did you use the checksum to check what you downloaded? [18:42] Fonsie1990, do you now where to find the hashes?

[19:17] seems like the default package lays down a bad symlink [19:17] I'm on 11.10 (running in a VM under OSX) and I'm trying to set up Aero Snap-like bindings in Compiz Config -- for some reason -Left/Right aren't triggered when I press the key combination. Anyone know why? [19:18] works in other contexts, but not this one. [19:18] jimmy51_: you should purge to reinstall to verify this is an issue with the package; also check bugs.ubuntu.com [19:18] !11.10 | ForSpareParts [19:18] ForSpareParts: Ubuntu 11.10 (Oneiric Ocelot) was the fifteenth release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/11.10/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1110 [19:18] jrib, ?

Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [19:19] jrib: i did a apt-get remove. is there more to it than that to purge? [19:19] l a metodologia que vc cria um erro certo [19:20] ops [19:20] um teste que passa [19:20] outro que nao passa? [19:20] jrib, Ah. Well, I'd love to upgrade, but I've been asked to remain on 11.10 by my employer. I know it's not technically supported, but if anyone here has any ideas, I'd really appreciate the help... [19:20] mantovan1: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. === craigory is now known as Fr33BSD [19:20] 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 [19:21] good luck with that approach [19:21] Hi guys, [19:22] 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] 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] Do you think that this keybinding problem has anything to do with my being on 11.10? [19:23] 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] ForSpareParts: you might try [19:24] ForSpareParts: you might try to replicate it on 12.04 or 13.04 just to troubleshoot [19:24] 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] ForSpareParts: is your VM in 2d mode? [19:25] SolarisBoy, You know, I'm actually not sure. How would I check? [19:25] 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] ForSpareParts: that i dont know =( === thebug_ is now known as Guest15437 [19:25] Hm. [19:25] ForSpareParts: other than logging out and in and looking at what your logging into =) [19:25] that'd work. [19:25] i think it should say what DM your logging into or if your using unity2d or so forth [19:28] hi can anyone tell me how to create shortcuts in desktop [19:29] Spanniel, try "ln -s source destination" [19:30] Spanniel, in the file managers (i.e., "Dolphin") you can right-click the file and create a link, and drag the link whereever you like [19:32] jrib: modified my script to delete bogus symlink, create new one, and all is well. [19:32] jrib: thanks for the help! === shadowman is now known as Guest73673 [19:35] 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. [19:36] there is a printer which will print a drawn rectangle not in the same size as drawn [19:37] 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 [19:38] 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" [19:39] 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] sasuke: ask #bash but give more details [19:39] hi [19:39] so cups would always calculate the right coordinats === marlinc|away is now known as marlinc [19:40] jrib, thank .. will do that === marlinc is now known as Marlinc [19:41] 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] mustmodify: make a script, don't do "cd" and stuff like that in cron [19:42] mustmodify: check syslog and your mail for what cron has to say [19:42] th0r, or do you mean by software the software I make the drawing with? couse cups is also software [19:42] 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] mustmodify: cron doesn't work like a shell does, use a script [19:43] noob7: the cad or drawing software does the scaling, not the printer driver. At least that is how it used to work [19:43] I've successfully setup an FTPS server with proftpd on xubuntu. Would anyone be so kind to check it out (just trying simple commands, etc.) [19:43] ok, thanks [19:43] jrib: thanks for the info it did lead me to /etc/kernel/postrm.d/ which has the scripts it was running. I just removed them as I am manually running update-grub after removing the kernels. [19:44] houkouonchi-home: ok, don't forget to restore them after ;) Also, my guess is that just removing executable permission may have been enough, but not sure [19:44] Does anyone here use VMWare fusion? And if so, do you know if there's a way to get 3d acceleration working with an Ubuntu guest? === cent4urus is now known as Guest96872 [19:45] (those who were talking to me before, it looks like the problem I had with Window Snap was that compiz isn't running, because of software rendering) [19:47] ForSpareParts: thats what i thought it was. [19:47] SolarisBoy, you were right! [19:47] hi, how to create x86 system image like in iso? [19:47] * SolarisBoy dancin [19:47] It turns out I *am* set to run in 3D, but it fails and falls back. [19:47] As far as I can tell. [19:48] ForSpareParts: i have not used vbox in a long time but in the past I had to install guest additions [19:48] jrib, They were automatically installed. Apparently VMWare Fusion doesn't support 3D acceleration on Linux guests out of the box. [19:49] ForSpareParts: oh right, I read virtualbox instead of vmware somehow... never mind [19:55] I need help with fixing boot on USB stick. I have Lubuntu there, and I converted MBR to GPT. It didn't boot anymore, so I used gdisk to convert it back to MBR, which didn't help, then I did install-mbr, but it just gives me MBR 123F (prompt to select partition) and it doesn't boot no matter what I press. [19:55] anyone know why im getting a sh shell instead of bash? [19:56] happened after a power fault, passwd is set to bash for my user [19:59] how do i show the rest of the GUI in this case https://www.dropbox.com/sh/2z5p162ovqtbn17/N37lgpgldz/note/vmware#f:Ubuntu%20(unstable)-2013-06-17-21-57-27.png [19:59] the picture is of adesktop with only a background [19:59] and DISPLAY=:0 gnome-terminal [19:59] JPeterson: what version of ubuntu are you using?

It doesn't find a drive to boot. It has something to do with efi? Anyone have a good link?

[20:05] No sound [20:05] how can I start to diagnose how the launcher won't find certain apps? [20:05] guillcote, what version of ubuntu are you using? What computer are you using too?

(if laptop, tell me the model) [20:09] jrib: well honestly these machines are test lab machines that get reimaged pretty often and kernels never get removed until now with a script I am making which will run via cron so should be fine to leave those files in the dust. [20:09] I am looking, but I can find if it matchs [20:09] The computer is a desktop [20:09] What would you like to know about it? [20:10] guillcote, ok.

[20:13] trying to put a shortcut for vlc in desktop,cant find where i installed vlc unlike in windows [20:13] Spanniel: try "whereis vlc" [20:14] Spanniel: or 'which vlc' [20:14] nado: sudo dpkg -l man-db [20:14] meh dont really need sudo [20:15] VLC media player 2.0.5 Twoflower [20:15] SolarisBoy: so man-db is the package providing man bin ?

[20:21] when i run devilspie with no arguments i get a complaint about No s-expressions loaded, and that seems to cause the error on startup/unknown instance [20:22] SolarisBoy: he should probably be using xdg autostart to start devilspie in lubuntu (since the upstart script is going to start before x loads) [20:23] Can somebody help me with my sound card? [20:23] ahh nice trism - i actually was trying to see if we can get it to start on the signal emit when the display manager starts [20:23] but if that wont work - autostart seems doable [20:23] SolarisBoy: we do have that support in 13.04 if you are running unity, but I don't think there is an lubuntu session yet [20:24] got ya [20:24] bennypr0fane: make it an autostart job then [20:24] SolarisBoy, I haven't gotten anything working yet, I believe [20:24] you gave me a command to check for that, but I don't know how to read the output [20:25] SolarisBoy, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775143/ [20:25] bennypr0fane: trism is saying make it an autorun job [20:25] ? [20:25] leafpad? [20:25] How come the notifications deal always says im offline, and I can't seem to add any online accounts [20:25] Using ubuntu 13.04 with gnome shell [20:26] And using the gnome online accounts [20:26] 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] bennypr0fane: make it an autostart job - from the gui - type startup applications and you should be able to add one [20:26] site* [20:26] SolarisBoy, afaik that works only with GUI applications, whgich devil's pie is not [20:27] I'm running Gnome SHell btw [20:27] 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] bennypr0fane: then put it in rc.local [20:27] umib0zu, alright [20:27] 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? [20:28] not umib0zu , just um [20:28] SolarisBoy, did you check if my script is ok now? [20:28] bennypr0fane: use startup applications like SolarisBoy first suggested [20:28] jrib, other way around. Find out which package has it as a depedency. [20:28] hey, is there channel for mac/apple? [20:28] jrib, not possible like I said [20:28] Sirisian|Work: apt-cache rdepends PACKAGE [20:28] that's what I tried first [20:29] bennypr0fane: why is it not possible? [20:29] i'll need to convince myself that you can't run a cli app from startup apps... [20:29] 26/quit [20:29] Sirisian|Work: "apt-cache depends foo" or "apt-cache rdepnds foo".... or even "aptitude why foo" [20:29] but i dont want to reboot to test it [20:29] bennypr0fane: startup applications is not somehow limited to gui applications [20:29] SolarisBoy, if you find how to do it, please tell me [20:29] I'll try and test it [20:30] I looked in Gnome settings [20:30] mothberfuuuck gnome [20:30] is there mac apple chanel [20:30] !language | dogsbonewater [20:30] dogsbonewater: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [20:30] SolarisBoy: most terminals have a switch to run something, like "xterm -e foo.sh" or similar [20:30] im ask question , answer? [20:30] bennypr0fane: yea go to startup applications - go to browse - find/select devils pie and fill in the other info [20:30] !alis | dogsbonewater [20:30] 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] tnx.. [20:30] name/description there is nothing else it needs or would prevent it from running [20:30] Ubuntu 13.04 using Gnome shell, can't add online accounts and notifications always says im offline [20:30] Whats up with that [20:30] zykotick9: indeed they do [20:31] 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] SolarisBoy, startup applications must have a different name in my GUI, which is in german [20:31] no idea [20:31] cant help you there i only speak ruby other than english [20:31] where would I look for those [20:32] i typed "startup" and it pops up [20:32] thanks jrib. [20:32] maybe type the german equiv? [20:32] svartup [20:32] svartenuppen or whatever [20:33] haha very funny. looks like it's "Startprogramme" [20:33] ;> [20:34] Hi guys, a question, when I start a program by ssh using "ssh @ > /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] if I press "add" I get a dialog with "name", "command" and "comment" === phaidros_ is now known as phaidros [20:34] bennypr0fane: correct [20:35] your in the right place [20:35] "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] if i run ubuntu with a non-standard window manager (xmonad), does this circumvent the spyware in ubuntu? [20:35] benedikt, I think the best way to avoid that is to remove it [20:35] BiosHazard: i'm not sure what your asking, but would tmux or screen help? [20:35] burbankboy: [20:36] bennypr0fane: how does one remove it? [20:36] benedikt: there isn't spyware so not sure what you mean [20:36] benedikt: what spyware are you talking about? the amazon plugin thingy? [20:36] benedikt, there are plenty of how to's e.g. on youtube just google it. It shouldn't be a big deal [20:36] 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 [20:37] bennypr0fane: right, thanks [20:37] Hi, how can I test that my nic is enabled for WOL? [20:37] 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] !adlens | benedikt [20:37] 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 [20:38] BiosHazard: yes, tell your application go directly in background [20:38] SolarisBoy, do I look for the devil's pie executable or point it to the script that I made? [20:38] BiosHazard: ' &' [20:38] highlight spyware [20:38] 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] jrib: that is what spyware is. both the EFF and FSF have made serious complaints [20:38] bennypr0fane: make it the output of which devilspie [20:38] benedikt: does ubottu's response answer your question? [20:39] BiosHazard: yes, background your applications will let ssh close [20:39] /usr/bin/devilspie [20:39] bennypr0fane: open a terminal and type which devilspie - copy and paste the returned data into that area then [20:39] Yea, I use "ssh @ > /dev/null 2> /dev/null &" but the connection stays open, still :/ [20:39] or does the & go before the stream redirects? [20:39] BiosHazard: because & is locally, you need to add ' or " to tell & being on the ssh server [20:40] Ooooh !! that sounds about right, let me try :D [20:40] SolarisBoy, ok, done. but then I don't need that script in /etc/init, right? Should I delete thaT? [20:41] nado: i think BiosHazard needs to relacate that & as well... but i'm guessing this won't work. [20:41] benedikt if this so called "spy ware"-like issue worries you: system settings > privacy [20:42] 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] zykotick9: indeed, enclose with ' and relocate the & [20:42] Abbiamo l'Italia? [20:42] MonkeyDust, I'm pretty sure it fits the definition of spyware exactly [20:42] <_Ace> Emacs or ViM [20:42] Vim! [20:42] !it UTF-8 [20:42] benedikt true, it's controversial, but if you want to discuss it, better go to #ubuntu-offtopic [20:43] 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] !polls | _Ace [20:43] _Ace: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task.

[20:47] 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] Notifications tab under my user name always says im off line. WhY?? [20:47] bennypr0fane, grazie, ciao [20:48] SolarisBoy, see my last question? I'm wondering if I should delete that script in /etc/init [20:48] 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] ncmcxx, What is the windows release? [20:49] and how did you install? [20:49] 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] kcherkashin: how do you know if a translation in the second file is one or two lines? [20:50] 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] BiosHazard: Slart: That's the problem, there is no way to figure this out, but to look it up in the dictionary [20:50] 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 :/ [20:51] kcherkashin: then you might as well lookup every word in the first file and put that in a new translation file [20:51] Slart: that's what I was gonna say xP [20:52] Does 13.04 support dual boot? [20:52] BiosHazard: =) [20:52] readyjar the boitloader is called GRUB [20:52] Slart: Specific set of translations is needed [20:52] bootloader* [20:52] readyjar, any linux can be multibooted === space is now known as Guest68157 [20:53] MonkeyDust: I know this. Can I install it next to windows? I heard somewhere that 13.04 is broken in that respect [20:53] kcherkashin: could you put the first 30 or so lines from each file on pastebin so we can see what it looks like? [20:53] !pastebin | kcherkashin [20:53] kcherkashin: 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. === brainwash is now known as brainwashed [20:55] zykotick9: :3 & might work even after redirection, because you juste background the redirection process with the main one [20:56] Slart: [20:56] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775223/ [20:56] something like this [20:56] Theactual files are in excel format, will have to preprocess it to get the lines [20:57] nado: i was very suprised that worked, with the location of the & - but hey, you where correct, can't argue with results ;) "nice" btw. === andrex is now known as andrex|off [20:57] readyjar, The installs are now a little different if you have W8 with an UEFI, gpt setups is all, no inherent problems otherwise besides users skills. [20:57] Wake on lan is not working here. [20:58] 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 [20:59] 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] kcherkashin: perhaps.. I don't know if google exposes their translation api but it might be worth looking into === Lajjla is now known as Lederhosen [21:01] kcherkashin: this looks like it might be useful https://github.com/terryyin/google-translate-python === andrex|off is now known as andrex [21:01] Slart: Will look into it === andrea is now known as Guest46439 [21:01] Another questions, if I'd have to do that manually [21:02] Is there a way to translate a file with 30k words? [21:02] google translate? :D [21:04] 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] 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 [21:05] kcherkashin: will it be slower than doing it manually? [21:07] 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 [21:08] oh god, this so much better when ignoring all these join/part messages [21:08] is it a to translation related channel or acout ubuntu? :> [21:08] Winnie^: good point... sorry [21:09] 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] i would not mind if have not a ubuntu related problem with ufw :) [21:10] any good way to find out which chip is temp6 [21:11] DS-labs: 127 degrees seems a bit.. on the high side.. is it really warm? or just a weird temperature reading? [21:11] it's quite warm but I higly doubt it's over a 100 [21:11] 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] I think the 70°C are closer [21:12] 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] DS-labs: sure thats i celsius and not fahrenheit? [21:12] .......yes [21:12] I think the °C in the reading KIIIINDA gives it away [21:13] @Slart that's why I want to find out which chip is temp6 so I could check [21:13] DS-labs 127, so a drop of water should immediately vaporize... unlikely [21:13] Are you sure that's the actual temperature, not only an error in a one byte temp sensor? [21:13] 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] Dont want to spam the chat, so link = http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2155208 [21:13] trust me it's celsius [21:14] temp3: +59.0°C (crit = +128.0°C) [21:14] temp4: +66.0°C (crit = +128.0°C) [21:14] temp5: +29.0°C (crit = +128.0°C) [21:14] temp6: +127.0°C (crit = +128.0°C) [21:14] 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] aliminium casing [21:14] Fukushima II [21:15] that temperature is bogus or you'd be on fire [21:15] sigh physics is not your strong point ? [21:15] how wants some fried eggs? DS-labs gives a round for free [21:15] who :) [21:15] It's only 20 degrees C over boiling :) [21:16] boiling point of water [21:16] probably not but I'm pretty sure a cpu burns at 127 C [21:16] which also depends on pressure [21:16] the boiling point of water that is [21:16] 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] I didn't say it was [21:16] my original question was and still is [21:16] is there a way to check what temp6 equals which chip it is [21:17] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2155208 [21:17] thank you Punch [21:17] DS-labs: I would ask the manufacturer.. send an email to some support-address, ask in a forum or something like that [21:17] Yea, open the thing, and touch the chips. The one where you get a burn blister is t6 :P [21:18] Power it off for a night. Check to see what the sensor says right after powering on [21:18] sigh.... how about I just look in the conf file? [21:19] I feel almost like this was not a linux community [21:19] DS-labs is uber 1337 [21:19] DS-labs it's because 127°C is just too improbable [21:19] and I said that I also think it's a bug [21:19] this channel can be super flamey sometimes [21:20] and my question was NOT weather it's probable [21:20] or if it is 127 [21:20] 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] but there is a conf file that tells the sensors in which order to display info [21:21] sure but then you could just look in /proc [21:21] sorry I meant [21:21] / sys [21:21] aye [21:21] and thus we conclude my original question [21:21] what a joy ride it has been [21:21] Hiya. Any idea why a "dd if=/dev/random of=delete.this" does not seem to do much? === i3luefire is now known as i3luefire__ [21:22] I am SO switching back to arch [21:23] DS-labs, whats up? [21:23] Arch does this and Ubuntu doesn't? [21:23] hmm [21:23] what [21:23] no [21:23] DS-labs is funny === andrea__ is now known as ziggypop [21:25] aye don't now :) [21:25] 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 [21:26] anyone with an idea where I might ask my question about /dev/random if not here? [21:26] <_Z> possible to burn iso to a usb in mac then boot on windows? [21:27] vjacob: does it do the same if you use /dev/urandom? [21:27] vjacob: it's not distro specific, so any general "linux" support room would be the right place [21:27] vjacob: cat /dev/random displays something? [21:27] _Z: look at unetbootin [21:28] 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] aye, all good points. trying now. [21:28] jesus christ I can see why the linux community hates ubuntu users [21:28] it's like talking to indian tech support [21:29] <_Z> Crosant: i wanted to stay in the cli [21:29] _Z: use 'dd' [21:29] DS-labs no ranting here please, we get the point [21:29] hmmm [21:29] yeah use did [21:29] DS-labs: you should know since your english is just as bad, nobody was unable is a double negative [21:29] dd * [21:29] DS-labs: Dark_light: please don't [21:30] FINE [21:30] I won't [21:30] I am sorry if I caused offense [21:30] or w/e [21:30] DS-labs for future reference: how did you find what was the cause? [21:30] DS-labs: regarding your issue try what I said, in my opinion it's likely to be a coretemp issue [21:30] <_Z> i used dd as per example on ubuntus website but cant boot on windows only mac [21:30] is it possible to perform memtest on an efi machine? [21:31] Slart, how did you guess? [21:31] vjacob: huh? [21:31] Dark_light, "���^Cu�!5^΢���1" [21:31] Slart: urandom [21:31] it works [21:32] Dark_light, and it's random again, if I run the command again [21:32] Pardon me' but is there a way to get Proxy setting set before the Install? [21:32] 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] vjacob: do this dd if=/dev/random of=test bs=100 [21:33] sometimes i cannot suspend via the menu, but have to "sudo pm-suspend" - what might be the reason? [21:33] Slart, aye... " /dev/random runs out of entropy and stops outputting random randomness? /dev/urandom doesn't care if it runs out of entropy." [21:33] hi i have two machines A & B. I am able to do ping & able to ssh / vice versa. But i was unable to scp. What might be the problem? === BiosHazard_ is now known as BiosHazard [21:33] Dark_light, Slart : thank you [21:33] sasuke: did you try to supply -vvv to increase verbosity? [21:33] 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 [21:34] vjacob: you're welcome === Aww is now known as RedShark [21:34] interesting. Will try to keep this in mind. [21:34] vjacob: just move your mouse and randomly hit the keyboard, to create entropy faster [21:34] nibbler, yes [21:34] but it didnt work [21:34] 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] nibbler, I try to do as little as possible of that ;) [21:34] sasuke: verbosity will not make things work, but it might tell you why they dont [21:34] <_Ace_> sasuke: what error are you getting [21:35] nibbler, its saying "no route to host" [21:35] lolo: I've never mounted a ntfs volume as read only.. but I would start by checking man mount [21:35] lolo: but I doubt you can do it from nautilus [21:35] sasuke: nah.... please nopaste the scp, ssh and "ip r" and "ip a" output and maybe "iptables -n -L -v" === RedShark is now known as NotAww [21:35] ok thx Slart [21:36] wher does it talk about prog? === NotAww is now known as Aww [21:36] lolo: mount from the command line with something like "sudo mount -o ro /path/to/device /path/to/mountpoint" [21:37] How do I know what version of Gtk I am running? [21:38] 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] silare: pkg-config --modversion gtk+ [21:39] canin: i doubt they are all identically flawed [21:39] DS-labs: "No package 'gtk+' found" o_O [21:39] not installed [21:39] 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] DS-labs: Weird... because I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 (Unity). o_O Which I think is using Gtk. [21:39] They're raw data, dd + hash check = they're fine, but nothign will burn them becuse they're not standard dvds [21:39] oooh [21:39] then [21:39] pkg-config --modversion gtk+-2.0 [21:39] canin: can you mount them in linux ? mount -o loop img.iso /mnt [21:39] Pardon me; but is there a way to get Proxy setting set before the Install? [21:40] Ohh. got it. I tried that command with gtk+-3.0 and it worked. xD THanks! [21:40] no problem [21:40] 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] sneex: during ubuntu install you can define a proxy, yes [21:41] canin: What is the source of this "raw data"? [21:41] canin: oh, I see.. not an iso... not so sure then.. google gives you nothing? [21:41] canin: wodim /path/to/iso.iso [21:41] canin: or cdrecord dev=/dev/sr0 (or whatever it is) path/to/iso [21:41] what is the syntax for 13.04 - I haven't figure that out in 5 installs [21:41] Hello, I am new I am trying to install wine.

[21:44] Dark_light: Yes. [21:44] wine1.4 [21:44] HeyMan7-Cloud: what failed? show the exact error please [21:44] i have a laptop and ubuntu 13.04; when i put something in the sudo crontab to happen at 6AM but my laptop is suspended; it seems like the command is never run (when the laptop eventually wakes up)... how can i fix this? [21:45] * sneex I installed Netflix - wine came with it [21:45] Hello, I'm attempting to upgrade 12.04 to 12.10 and subsequently 13.04, but the wireless connection keeps dropping and reconnecting. [21:45] arooni-mobile make sure you use complete paths in cron, so /home/username and not ~ [21:46] Here is the terminal error - http://pastie.org/8053410 [21:46] 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] God damn it, it just dropped again. [21:46] Slart, i want the job to run when the laptpo eventually wakes up [21:46] shhh, reframe from cursing plz [21:46] HisaoNakai: what wireless card? [21:46] arooni-mobile i use @reboot to clear .cache [21:47] HisaoNakai: and have you already upgraded to 12.10 or partially upgraded ? [21:47] MonkeyDust, can you be more specific please? i put @reboot in the crontab file? [21:47] Wireless card is a small TP-LINK USB adapter, and it's only partially downloaded. [21:47] arooni-mobile yes, so not 0 6 * * * , but @reboot [command] [21:48] It's seeing the network, so it IS being recognised by Ubuntu,it just refuses to stay connected.

[21:48] Sorry, 13.04 [21:49] Struggles to connect, then disconnects for no real reason. [21:49] HisaoNakai, hmm hows the signal strength? [21:49] HisaoNakai: Are you using wifi [21:49] canin: If the file doesn't have an iso9660 filesystem, then it's not an iso. If you're trying to burn a .bin file (with an accompaning .cue file) then you'll need to use different software / options. What is the source of this "raw data"? [21:50] 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] Jordan_U: It's old dd'd data from firmware DVDs [21:50] Good Evening [21:50] canin: what does file name.iso says? [21:50] arooni-mobile: it seems regular cron doesn't do this.. I'm not sure which cron daemon ubuntu uses but anacron is one that can run missed jobs, not sure if it does it by default though [21:51] HeyMan7-Cloud: do you have PPAs enabled? [21:51] 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] k1l: What is that exactly? [21:51] HisaoNakai: lspci -k | grep Net -A 2 what does it say ? [21:52] HeyMan7-Cloud: 3rd party package repositories [21:52] 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] Sirisian|Work it's switched on by default, so it's the user's own choice and responability to switch it off [21:52] k1l: Then I dunno. How do you check? [21:52] ls -al /etc/apt/sources.list.d [21:53] wheatthin and HeyMan7-Cloud: Wifi signal strength is 2 bars and the dot. [21:53] canin: use bchunk, bchunk file.bin file.cue file.iso [21:53] 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.

Rather than changing their configuration (either of the app, or of the Apparmor profile) to avoid the one blocked action, they disable Apparmor altogether, greatly reducing their security. === san is now known as Guest54442 [21:57] WAZUP CRACKERS?

[22:01] apparently my laptop [22:01] canin, why not make an iso and then burn it? [22:02] So, [22:02] when I open a new program from terminal, I need to keep terminal window open unless I end the command with && [22:02] canin: I don't think you understood Dark_light's question. Please run "file 326236.iso" and pastebin the output of that command. [22:02] What should I do to bbe able to close the termial without closing the program?

[22:02] Shehrazad: just do like: gedit & and then: exit [22:03] Shehrazad: run the command with a & and you can try typing exit instead of just closing the terminal window [22:03] Pasting the Terminal output into Pastebin is going horribly. [22:03] Suppose I forgot to do that in the first place, Dark_light [22:03] I got to the Pastebin page, pasted things in, and then connection dropped again.

When the GUI is display the progress info for step2 ("Setting new software channel") I get a crash. do-release-upgrade crashes and I get a dialog asking me whether I want to send an error report. This is getting frustrating. Any pointer ? [22:04] None will burn with bra or k3b [22:04] complicated to explain... "firefox &" will run firefox and allow you to exit the terminal Shehrazad [22:04] How do I close the terminal without closing the program if I already opened a program. [22:05] Shehrazad run your program in screen === marlinc|away is now known as marlinc [22:05] Shehrazad: you can't [22:05] !info screen [22:05] screen (source: screen): terminal multiplexor with VT100/ANSI terminal emulation. In component main, is optional. Version 4.0.3-14ubuntu9 (raring), package size 584 kB, installed size 885 kB [22:05] As in after typing "firefox" into the terminal, how do I close terminal without closing firefox? [22:05] Shehrazad: "exit" does some magic to make sure running programs keep running [22:05] Ahahaha, it worked. pastebin.com/TJuCF6Dp === benjamino is now known as bechjamicho [22:05] Shehrazad: "firefox &" === bechjamicho is now known as benjamino [22:05] Shehrazad: iirc there is a difference between typing exit and just closing gnome-terminal [22:06] Like a "soft" close, Slart? [22:06] brasero turns my DVD into a coaster if I try burning the UDF images as soon as I start due to an undefined error, k3b at least refuses to burn it before it ruins a disk on me [22:06] Let me test that Slart. [22:06] Shehrazad i'm running irssi in screen, if i should close my terminal, irssi would stay alive [22:06] HisaoNakai: I said the output of lspci -k, the | grep part you should've omitted it, paste it again [22:06] if you are using 'command &' do NOT use the close button. ;) [22:06] use the exit command. [22:07] ages ago i would use the window manager tweaks to disable the close button on xterm windows. [22:07] oh god damn it. okay, I'll just run that [22:07] Nope, Slart. [22:07] It doesn't allow me to input new commands anyway. [22:07] Hence, no exit command that I know of. [22:08] Shehrazad: what program are you trying to run? [22:08] MonkeyDust, how did you start irssi in the first place then? [22:08] Tried it with gedit [22:08] Just opened a terminal and typed a gedit. [22:08] noted... exit [22:08] Shehrazad: so you run "gedit &" and then you should get a new prompt (or press enter to refresh it) then type exit [22:08] Slart, you don't get it. [22:09] I am trying to find a solution AFTER I don't use ampersand in the command. [22:09] well then there's no way to do it [22:09] Shehrazad screen -S FREENODE irssi [22:09] Shehrazad: ahh.. and you really want to keep that program running [22:09] you can pause it with ctrl-z [22:09] you could use an ascii code for the ampersand? [22:09] Yes. [22:09] Pause, hmm? [22:09] ctrl Z then %1& and then exit [22:09] Lemme try that as well. [22:10] screen should remain in thebackground if you use exit or close button. [22:10] you just reconnect to the screen session. [22:10] Shehrazad: ctrl Z pauses the program, %1 & starts the paused program again but now with & and then we're on track again [22:10] Shehrazad https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Screen [22:10] or.. 'command &' ctrl-z, then 'bg' if you want it to run in the background. [22:11] then 'fg' to reconnect.. but still. you dont want to close the terminal window. [22:11] Slart, it returns "bash: bg: %1: no such job" [22:11] canin: Try changing the extention to .bin and see if that avoids confusing these programs [22:11] How do I force erase a DVD with raw data on it? Stupid burning programs will not earse things unless it has a recognizable FS on it... [22:12] canin, you do mean a DVD+RW ? [22:12] Shehrazad: what does it print out when you press Ctrl-Z ? something like [1] Stopped bla bla bla [22:12] canin: might I suggest obtaining a USB stick [22:12] "[1]+ Stopped gedit" [22:12] ^ this, Slart [22:12] https://mega.co.nz/#!mV4DhDwZ!HEEGqyQ80LAorVqvNw9YZnWomjxdXYGILXbIk0jDJJU Made the mistake of saving it to a file type not accessible to Windows, so here's a mega link to a text file containing the terminal paste. [22:12] Dr_willis: Ya I stopped using DVDs because the crappy software was making coasters on me so I tried an RW.... and wonderful nothing will let me erase it [22:12] Shehrazad: and then you type %1 & [22:13] Shehrazad, just 'bg' should let gedit continue. i belive [22:13] Shehrazad: and you get that error you mentioned? [22:13] And it returned an error. [22:13] Yes. [22:13] But will it let me close terminal Dr_willis? [22:13] Shehrazad: try the 'bg' thingy Dr_willis suggested then.. I'm not sure what the problem might be with my way [22:13] reisio: No USB support, only DVD images can be used... too big for CD [22:13] canin, i belive the 'cdrecord' command can do it. [22:14] good times [22:14] if it's rw you could use dd [22:14] I havent even used an optical disk in ages... [22:14] OK, solved! [22:14] I pressed ctrl+Z, typed bg and voila! [22:14] Dr_willis: twss [22:14] 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] Many thanks to everyone who helped! [22:14] Shehrazad now type fg [22:15] Shehrazad, fg brings it back to the terminal --> bash job control fundamentals ----> http://web.mit.edu/gnu/doc/html/features_5.html [22:15] Why is that MonkeyDust? [22:15] example ussage 'scp file' then ctrl-z, bg to let it run in the background... [22:16] then 'fg' to bring it back front. [22:16] back TO the front. ;P [22:16] front ground :P [22:16] Noted. [22:16] This is covered in most decent bash guides under job controll. bash history is also a very handy feature to learn about [22:17] Have a celebratory cat: http://i.imgur.com/L8OOT.jpg [22:17] 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] Dark_light:: Hello? [22:18] 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] 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] HisaoNakai: holdon [22:19] !find sources.list [22:19] 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] ubottu: thanks! [22:19] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [22:20] theres a web site that can generate a new one kant_ - but i always back mine up :) [22:20] backing up ftw [22:20] get thee to a backupery [22:21] !botsnack [22:21] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [22:21] HisaoNakai: iwconfig ? [22:21] !botseppuku [22:22] chrome vs chromium! Which one would you recommend? [22:22] chrome, as it's stable and gets the latest stable [22:22] Draxelis: try asking the channel, type !poll =) [22:22] chromium, as this isn't Windows [22:22] 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] !poll chrome vs chromium [22:22] Draxelis: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [22:22] :D [22:23] !poll | Draxelis [22:23] 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] lol [22:23] ubottu: 'cept there usually is :p [22:23] Draxelis: didn't know ubottu was going to act up =) [22:23] let's just say chrome comes with flash built in [22:23] you can probably have VLC play them as a plugin [22:23] but I have the VLC plugin installed [22:23] :) [22:23] and it plays .mp3 [22:23] but nothing happens when I click on .wav files [22:24] does chromium support the same chrome extensions? do bookmarks, history, extensions etc etc sync well on chromium? [22:24] Draxelis: yes [22:25] You've gotta be kidding me. I should have seen this coming... [22:25] My flash drive just died. [22:25] the same flash performance on chrome and chromium? [22:25] some are not installed by default though, but can be used (pepper flash and the pdf plugin) [22:26] the pdf plugin in chromium has been a pain the past few times I tried it [22:26] Draxelis they do [22:26] Draxelis, if you want a better otb experience go with chrome, if you want more privacy go with chromium [22:27] 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] hm, ye I dont like what's going on with the whole prism stuff [22:27] installing chromium via ubuntu software center is ok? [22:28] or should i download it via site? [22:28] people who are worried about their privacy, shouldnt use facebook and the lot [22:28] it's not that super worried but it just feels wrong [22:29] google chrome's deb from their site adds their PPA i belive [22:29] Dr_willis, so downloading chromium via ubuntu center is fine? [22:30] 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] enabling their PPA will let you get it from the software center.. [22:30] if you install solitairy packages trough websites, you won't get updates. [22:30] result of iwconfig: http://pastebin.com/6YJtcFtV [22:30] will it update when I check for ubuntu updates? Dr_willis [22:30] unless the package adds its own ppa [22:30] 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] IF it adds a PPA = YES Draxelis thats whats special about google-chrome and a few other apps. [22:30] 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] 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 [22:31] Dr_willis, ye I know, but I'm talking about chromium and not chrome :) [22:31] MonkeyDust: meh [22:31] Draxelis, chromium has a PPA and is avail in the default repos.. if you want the latest. use the ppa [22:31] 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] ok will download it via ubuntu software center [22:31] So the mirror broke? [22:32] vadi: the Packages file is missing, there is just the Packages.gz to there is something wrong with the repo [22:32] is software on ubuntu center updated? or is it updated only with new ubuntu release? [22:32] Should I report that anywhere? [22:32] 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] !precise [22:32] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 [22:32] 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] vadi: report it to the maintainer of that repo (its not an official ubuntu repo and not supported here) [22:32] HisaoNakai: sorry I have to go now,I'm sure someone will help you out ;) [22:32] Yes, it is an official ubuntu repo... [22:33] I got it from selecting it in Ubuntus repo list. [22:33] gordonjcp, that was no woman.. that was my wife! [22:33] vadi: could you paste the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list" please [22:33] !paste | vadi [22:33] 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.

This stinks... [22:35] vadi: they are named normally de.archive.ubuntu.com or us.archive.ubuntu.com or something like that [22:35] if Install flash via ubuntu center, will it work on chromium? [22:35] Draxelis, yup [22:35] OK, but Ubuntu included it [22:35] Draxelis: no [22:36] 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] and auto-selected it when I asked it to pick closest mirror [22:36] Draxelis: because chrome has it own flash player [22:36] Oh well [22:36] i mean chormium not chrome [22:36] :D [22:36] iceroot, he wants to use chromium, it doesn't [22:36] wheatthin: i am sure chromium also has its own flashplayer but ok maybe i am wrong [22:36] nope [22:36] it doesnt look like chromium syncs with existing chrome extensions [22:37] Draxelis, flash isn't an extension, it's just built in [22:37] on chrome that is [22:37] HisaoNakai: are you sure it's your wi-fi connection and not your gateway connection? [22:37] I know, that's was my other question/statement [22:37] :) [22:38] Every other computer connected to the gateway works, ewi_, [22:38] create a new user HisaoNakai and see if the problem persists [22:38] are you sure that chromium syncs extensions that were installed on chrome? [22:38] Flash works for chromium, you just need to use adobe's website. Not ubuntu software center [22:38] yup [22:39] wheatthin, yes I am talking about compiz [22:39] It does Draxelis [22:39] Draxelis, just gotta login, and might have to kick start it [22:39] Pinkamena_D, then you'd be looking at ccsm or something like that [22:39] Ye, all synced but extensions [22:39] Draxelis, they will, it just takes time [22:39] ok cool [22:39] what do you mean? [22:40] 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] yes flash works [22:40] i installed via USC [22:40] 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] Pinkamena_D, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager/CompizFusion [22:40] so far, chormium looks very good [22:41] 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] run glipper SuperLag and it should add an icon that shows your recent clipboard contents === Sammy is now known as Guest75277 === Multiply is now known as multiply [22:42] well I already have the compiz and plugins [22:42] are you suggesting I install the fusion packages to fix the issue? [22:42] Pinkamena_D, well it's a setting within int [22:42] it* [22:43] so, there's a new person looking after chromium, right? [22:43] ewi_: ran glipper... now I see an icon, but when I copy items, I'm not seeing anything there [22:43] ok, let me just copy and paste the issue, one second... [22:43] 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] you clicked/right clicked on the icon SuperLag? [22:43] http://www.noobslab.com/2011/10/enable-compiz-desktop-cube-in-ubuntu.html, Pinkamena_D [22:44] ewi_: multiple times [22:44] like that? [22:44] maybe need to adjust the settings to allow more than 0 clipboard contents? [22:45] ewi_: Okay. Where do you access the settings for it? [22:45] right click on it? i'm not sure [22:45] It's not bringing any menus up, click or right-click. I get nothing. [22:46] 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] SuperLag, you using gnome? [22:47] and are trying to access files on desktop? [22:47] SuperLag: ctrl+alt+c does that do anything? [22:47] hello [22:47] ok, I just finished looking at that guide. It has all of the things I have done already [22:48] ok so, im trying to edit a system file with konsole [22:48] Pinkamena_D, as in the settings to enable the features itself? [22:48] and i type "su" [22:48] type my pass, and it says authentication failure [22:48] 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] 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] and you have glipper 2.1 SuperLag? [22:49] wheatthin, Yes, first I did the compat-check, then installed the packages and put the settings the same way. [22:49] What ticks me off is that it was working fine in 12.10. [22:50] I also noticed that more plugins are available now, as if I have downloaded a lslightly diferent package then I had. [22:50] 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 [22:51] ewi_: 2.4 [22:51] sounds promising HisaoNakai [22:52] SuperLag: "sudo restart glipper"? [22:52] ewi_ Went to youtube, searched "vinesauce corruptions", and then I get a notification: "network_name" Disconnected. [22:53] so no, another user account doesn't fix the problem. [22:54] log into you wi-fi configuration and change the wi-fi channel HisaoNakai? [22:54] Tried that before and it didn't work. [22:56] i dont see why konsole will not let me use "su" [22:57] ewi_: didn't help [22:57] sudo su resizt0r [22:57] ewi_: btw, that doesn't work. I just killed the PID for glipper [22:57] i like chromium. it auto-updates on ubuntu, but if one wanted to use chromium on win7, how to autoupdate? [22:57] Hi. [22:58] how do you reinstall a fresh copy of ubuntu on a dual boot system? [22:58] use the live cd and choose the correct partition Skymont. [22:58] Draxelis: This channel is for Ubuntu support only. Try #chromium or ##windows. [22:59] Anyone know whether the Sony VGN-FS115B can be used on Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 LTS or higher? [22:59] Jordan_U, yea, I know. I dont need it now, but was wondering if anyone has a quick answer:) === andrea is now known as Guest32625 [23:00] <{Oscarian-> 'aloha [23:00] ewi_ is there anything in particular i should pay attention to because last time i tried that i messed up both o/ses [23:00] <{Oscarian-> just wondering, the default wm in ubuntu [23:00] Hey please does anyone know whether Sony VGN-FS115B can be used on Ubuntu Desktop 10.04 LTS or higher?

[23:05] windows will be on an ntfs partition, you can share /home partitions if you have it that way in the first place. just reformat the partition to use as / and point to swap, /home, and /ntfs with no formating Skymont [23:06] MrGrymReaper: that said, that's no guarantee that *everything* will work right out of the gate [23:06] If there's new chromium release, when i check for ubuntu updates, will I be notified? === space is now known as Guest16456 [23:07] ewi, last time i think there were tons of partitions, so i wasn't sure and it didn't install properly because ubuntu needed stuff on different partitions or something [23:07] @SuperLag - I was trying with i386 version of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and i didn't even boot beyond the first splash screen. I'm going to download 10.04 LTS. I don't mind looking over scripts. But some general ideas of future certification of its hardware would help. [23:07] i would say a minimum of 4 are needed for a dual boot system Skymont [23:08] If there's new chromium release, when i check for ubuntu updates, will I be notified? [23:08] ewi_ is there a good ubuntu tutorial page for this? [23:08] MrGrymReaper: if you want a laptop for Linux where everything works, I'd go with a ThinkPad W530. [23:08] i would say only if there is a PPA in your sources.list file Draxelis [23:08] 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] Want to win some money while you are on your computer? https://coingeneration.com/auth/new/148807 registe and you can do it!!

[23:09] i'm sure there is Skymont [23:09] Draxelis, only if you installed it with softwarecenter [23:09] OerHeks, Ye I did. [23:09] @SuperLag - Unfortunately I currently only have access to a Sony Vaio. [23:09] OerHeks, the chromium versions on USC aren't lagging behind much? [23:09] link? :) [23:10] Current is Version 25.0.1364.160 Ubuntu 13.04 (25.0.1364.160-0ubuntu3) [23:11] ...www.google.com> [23:11] 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] ok [23:11] I have the same [23:12] * ewi_ has had good luck with alternate cd's [23:12] ewi_: same here [23:12] ewi_: I've also had very good luck with this ThinkPad W530. Nice machine. :) [23:13] Took a couple of PPA things to get one piece of hardware working. (Fingerprint reader) === _voidray is now known as voidray [23:16] hi anyone with good knowledge of networks? [23:16] pokkerface, you may want to ask a more specific question. there is #networking also [23:16] ewi_, was that link you posted for someone? [23:16] i have my xbox connected to my ubuntu machine through ethernet , i am not getting access to internet [23:17] with my xbox [23:17] !ics | pokkerface [23:17] 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] and you may need a crossover cable, or a hub. [23:17] you'lol have to dig for that one by your self Skymont. ubuntu partitioning [23:18] Dr_willis, yes i already have the cable [23:18] aww man [23:19] 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 [23:20] i find it often easier to share all of /media/ resizt0r , or mount removeable devices by hand and not let them automount [23:20] so the drive is /media/Backup [23:20] what would i do to make this work [23:20] what filesystem is the drive? [23:21] ntfs [23:21] 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] @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] /Backup/backup /media/Backup cifs guest,uid=1000,iocharset=utf8 0 0 [23:21] this is what i currently added, hoping it would show up as Backup on the network [23:22] er, //Backup/backup [23:22] "sudo umount /path/where/Backup/is/mounted && mount /media /mnt"' [23:22] resizt0r, you are defining a 'share' thats differnt then a fstab entry... so somthing is confused here. [23:23] what OS is shareing the ntfs-usb drive? [23:23] this one [23:23] kubuntu 13.04 [23:23] why libre office isnt updated via regular ubuntu updates? [23:23] so whats your smb.conf look like thats making the share resizt0r ? [23:24] i dunno where to find that [23:24] i just added what i showed you in fstab [23:24] a fstab entry does NOT make a share.. so how are you shareing it? [23:24] your fstab entry would be to MOUNT a remote share to the local box. [23:24] i guess im not sharing it [23:24] Bingo. ;) [23:25] you Mount it somewhere, like /media/backups then share /media/backups [23:25] shouldnt it be like a 5 step process? something simple? [23:25] currently it is mounted as /media/Backup [23:25] the fact its a NTFS adds a layer of complecation [23:25] if the user has full rights to it.. try right clicking on the folder and shareing it [23:25] see, i was hoping it'd be as easy as right clicking, go to sharing tab, select to share the drive with the checkbox [23:26] which is how it should work [23:26] if you want a more perment share. you will want to make a smb.conf entry for it [23:26] if things were logical [23:26] i want it permanant [23:26] resizt0r, what if you dident have a GUI desktop? whats logical then? [23:26] i would reformat [23:26] to a gui desktop [23:26] that would be logical [23:26] samba shares are normally defined in smb.conf the whole 'user made shares' is a relatively new feature of Linux [23:26] ok so [23:26] i need to find smb.conf [23:27] so i have no idea why you have that fstab entry. [23:27] and put what [23:27] "share my damn drive.now" [23:27] well in the guide in the first link [23:27] share samba [23:27] samba shares can be mounted in fstab [23:27] wheatthin, hes defining a share in the fstab... [23:27] or tryign to. [23:28] see where 'mount' says its mounted to [23:28] mount [23:28] where is that [23:28] is that a program [23:28] thats a command you type [23:28] hi [23:28] You may have a bit of learning to do i think resizt0r [23:29] i just need my drive shared [23:29] learning can come later [23:29] resizt0r, you also said you needed it permently.. that adds more compelxity [23:29] the networking difficulties are the main reason i havent fully dedicated myself to linux as of yet [23:29] simple case.. reboot.. plug it in, access it.. right click on the folder it is, and select share. [23:29] ive done that [23:29] ten times over [23:29] ie: /media/yourusername/whatever [23:30] it doesnt show up in windows [23:30] lulz [23:30] 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] in windows you have to map a network drive [23:30] resizt0r, you did make it a GUEST share? [23:30] every single time i do that i open the share tab and all the settings are erased [23:30] as if i never set them at all [23:30] you do not 'have' to map it as a network drive. [23:30] i tried it with user/pass [23:30] and guess [23:30] in order to keep remounting it under windows [23:30] guest* [23:30] you need to open your file manager with sudo? [23:30] and with no users defined at all [23:30] resizt0r, as a test make a folder in your HOME and try shareing it.. to see if samba is in fact working [23:31] 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] ok i shared it [23:32] Hi users of ubuntu channel, how do i use my keyboard to guarantee a proper shut.down? === daniel is now known as Guest39248 [23:32] now i'll have to go to the next room to see if its anywhere in the network from the windows laptop [23:32] brb [23:32] 12.04 trying to upgrade to 12.10. I keep getting this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775592/ . Any idea? [23:32] resizt0r, it can take windows some time to see the new shares also. [23:33] Dr_willis, it's faster by adding a network drive in windows [23:34] that way you don't have to wait for netbios to recognize it [23:34] ok [23:34] Is it good idea changing kernel 3.8 to 3.9 in 13.04? [23:34] i made a folder called share in my home dir, shared with samba, and it works fantastically [23:34] now if i could just share my backup drive, i'd be set [23:35] Fbiondip, you can change it but the old kernel may still be on your filesystem [23:35] resizt0r, i would remove that wrong fstab entry you have. for starters [23:35] alright [23:35] filemanager needs super user [23:36] can't change attributes on an admin mount without sudo resizt0r [23:36] 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] ewi_, so use gksudo to run your file manager. [23:36] ewi_, but be carefull with it. [23:36] ok [23:37] erased the entry in fstab [23:37] using VIM [23:37] can someone give me a hand with a network problem? http://pastebin.com/RDRFjium [23:37] and you dont really change mountpoint permissions on NTFS, via the file manager [23:37] MonkWitDaFunk is there any problem the old kernels still stay in the fs? [23:37] !info ntfs-config [23:37] 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] can share with samba through nautilus right? [23:37] StaticLNX, what are you trying to do? [23:38] i have dolphin [23:38] and samba [23:38] Fbiondip, no. [23:38] StaticLNX, You'll need to fix network [23:38] Unless you dont have enough free space [23:38] ewi_, the fact its a NTFS on a removeable flash - adds complexity to the issue [23:39] I cant get it to start [23:39] its not flash [23:39] its a desktop hard drive [23:39] resizt0r, internal to the pc? or removeable? [23:39] 2TB [23:39] Is there any way to use my keyboard to guarantee a proper shut down? [23:39] removable usb3.0 [23:39] so as far as the system cares.. its the same as a flash drive. [23:40] its removeable, so it gets auto mounted on access. unless you make a fstab entry [23:40] wheatthin, fix network? huh? [23:40] so what's wrong with making an entry? [23:40] i'll make 20 entries if i have to to get it to work [23:40] resizt0r, thats what 'ntfs-config' does.. it makes a fstab entry for you.... [23:40] StaticLNX: What is broken? [23:40] what do i type [23:41] StaticLNX: (Exlpain your situation in more detail.) [23:41] resizt0r, install and run 'ntfs-config' [23:41] unless you want to read up on the nfts-3g guides/wiki page and add an entry by hand. [23:41] StaticLNX: what's the issue? [23:42] 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] my nic isnt getting the static ip I setup in /etc/network/interfaces === MrGrymReaper is now known as register [23:42] ok [23:43] ifconfig eth0 10.0.0.10 [23:43] all write support is activated [23:43] http://askubuntu.com/questions/105473/samba-network-sharing-ntfs-drives-and-root-permissions-from-local-drives has some example fstab entries.

[23:43] look at the /etc/fstab now and see what changes it made. [23:43] fy th3worldisyours [23:43] StaticLNX: Is this a server? Or is it a desktop PC? [23:43] should be a line with 'ntfs-3g' in it. [23:44] UUID=02C46346C4633AD5 /media/Backup ntfs-3g defaults,nosuid,nodev,locale=en_US.UTF-8 0 0 [23:44] the system will expect that USB to be plugged in when the system boots from now on. [23:45] that's fine, it always is [23:45] it's a permanent fixture [23:45] what happens if it's not plugged in [23:45] Dr_willis, so add the usb to fstab [23:45] lag on boot? [23:45] wheatthin, you seem to be lagged... we allready did.. ;) [23:45] usr13, not running nmapplet and its a server [23:45] ewi_, it will print a message about it and you will need to hit a key [23:45] so now can i just right click > sharing > and select the box to share? [23:45] StaticLNX: If you want eth0 to use dhcp, change that protion of the file, Line 1) auto eth0 Line 2) iface eth0 inet dhcp [23:46] resizt0r, check 'mount' command and see if its mounted somwehere else.. or just reboot and let it auto mount to test that it does mount properly [23:46] static ip [23:46] resizt0r, you might want to double check that /media/Backup does exist befor you reboot [23:47] jest tu tos [23:47] it is mounted [23:47] ktos [23:47] resizt0r, mounted where?
