When I turn it on, the log in page comes up. When I log in, it seems to hang. It shows the background and my mouse and nothing else. The desktop never comes up. Thoughts? [00:15] Smaug: try ctr+alt+f4 or f5 to get to a terminal window to check what is going on... [00:17] soy_el_pulpo: when I bring up the terminal window, it reads "[my computer name] login: ". then I enter my password, and I am logged in. does this mean that the graphical display didn't actually log me in? [00:18] Smaug: You have to give user-name and password. [00:18] Smaug: (if you are in tty4 or tty5, you have to log in separately.) [00:18] okay so that is expected behavior [00:19] Smaug: Yes [00:19] usr13: soy_el_pulpo: what can I do to "check what is going on"? I can handle the command line but am sure how to debug this.

[00:47] same error usr13 [00:47] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade doing same thing? [00:48] Gallomimia: ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ [00:48] apt-get -f install [00:48] yeah [00:48] also apt-get -f upgrade linux-headers-server [00:48] so dist-upgrade is like, 12.04 to 13.04? [00:48] !dist-upgrade [00:48] 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. [00:48] also apt-get -f install [00:48] Gallomimia: So, how did you get to this point? [00:48] heh [00:48] and update only re-synces the sources.list [00:49] except in English all those words mean the same thing [00:49] i ran apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade and it spat out /boot partition is full [00:49] !upgrade [00:49] For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade [00:49] Gallomimia: do you have space now? [00:49] i d advise to fix your problem first before dist-upgrading. apt-get -f install will restart the apt process where you left it [00:49] Gallomimia: Ahhhh so remove an unused kernel or 2 [00:49] <_userr> wheatthin thx for tips, i have try it (about zip ), it result is:adding x.txt (stored 0%) [00:49] Gallomimia: uname -a #Not that one.

[01:01] none of this is fixing anything [01:01] usr13: soy_el_pulpo: so after a very long apt-get upgrade, I restarted my computer and the problem persists. I run top, and it seems the processes taking up memory are compiz, oneconf-service, Xorg, nautilis, gnome-settings, nm-applet, python, update-notifier, bluetooth-apple, colord and more. compiz takes up 2% mem, none take up more than that. Does that provide any useful information? [01:01] Gallomimia, sudo apt-get -f install [01:01] Gallomimia: dpkg-reconfigure linux-server [01:01] linux-server depends on linux-headers-server (= 3.2.0.45.54); however: [01:01] Version of linux-headers-server on system is 3.2.0.48.58.

[01:04] Smaug: Try Unity 2D (I think you can select it when logging in.) [01:04] _userr, you might need to be careful moving it around - follow the WUBI specific guides [01:04] Smaug: clock on the "gear" icon right net to the login [01:05] Smaug: maybe your machine requires special drivers for the video card... [01:05] Gallomimia: to remove old kernels i normally do a "dpkg --get-selections | grep linux" and then manually remove old linux-headers and linux-image-generic by "sudo apt-get purge ..." [01:06] I am having a problem on my network connection - I can't connect to any of my wireless networks. However, aircrack-ng works correctly and I can still catch data packages to decrypt my wifi password. [01:06] It seems strange.

[01:08] wheatthin: I have disabled the mon0 interface but the wireless connection is still not working. kernel message said that authentication with xxxxxx timed out. [01:08] Smaug: click on the ubuntu icon, top left [01:08] worm is it up? [01:08] usr13 what do all the numbers mean? [01:09] type driver [01:09] hello [01:09] and something will appear.. [01:09] Gallomimia: look into installing ubuntu tweak and use that. It's a GUI frontend to keep your sytem clean and would wipe those old kernels with just a couple of clicks [01:09] I can see it with ifconfig. [01:09] "additional drivers" I guess... [01:09] Gallomimia: What? [01:09] <_userr> optimizedcoder thx for sugestion. but if want free from wubi(not depend with wubi), can i move it manuallly. [01:09] could someone say my nick? I want to test notifications... [01:09] Gallomimia: Did you remove one of them? [01:09] wojtex_, negative [01:09] :P [01:09] :D [01:09] wheatthin: The kernel message has even told me the frequency... It should be up. [01:09] thanks, it works :) [01:10] Gallomimia: If so, remove a few more. (Start from top of list, http://pastebin.com/SkKLbi6b ) [01:10] And ifconfig shows it too. [01:10] holy cow there are still 2.6 kernel packages on there :P [01:10] OptimizedCoder, the default window maanger session is set in .dmrc if you select it in lightdm, it should save the default to that file. then 'startx' should then start that session [01:10] _userr, typically whatever bootloader you have GRUB/GRUB2/Syslinux is going to be looking at that location for the root.disk - It's not going to be happy if you move it around and not tell it that it has been moved. Bad things can happen. [01:10] worm, if mon0 is disabled then try using network manager [01:11] dpkg: warning: ignoring request to remove linux-image-2.6.32-21-server, only the config [01:11] files of which are on the system. [01:11] Gallomimia: At the most only leave 2 or 3 (you only need one, the one you are using now). [01:11] Gallomimia, did you try my suggestion? [01:11] soy_el_pulpo: yup, additional driver [01:11] wheatthin: which one? I am using the one on my gnome-shell. [01:11] yeah wheatthin. long before i showed up in here [01:12] Dr_willis, I just want to give i3 a try (surpassing unity) [01:12] the driver is not activated [01:12] so i will activate it now i suppose... [01:12] Smaug: activate it.... [01:12] Dr_willis, where does lightDM even come into the picture here>? [01:12] you suppose right [01:12] :) [01:12] worm, gnome-shell as in gnome 3? [01:12] Gallomimia: df #See what you have, (or don't have). [01:12] Gallomimia: I have one more list for you to pastebin, "ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-headers*list" [01:12] wheatthin: Yes. I love that. [01:12] me too.. Umm in network-manager up there [01:13] where it says wi-fi === Sir-LITEPOOL is now known as Sir-Litepool [01:13] click it [01:13] wheatthin: Yes. It shows a list of wi-fi networks found. [01:14] Hey, who knows about CrossOver? [01:14] And the ia32-libs bug [01:15] HeyMan7-Cloud: you? [01:15] What?

[01:19] somsip even [01:19] n/m [01:19] <_userr> optimizedcoder ,ok.thx. maybe first step i'm not move method, but just copy it, and before i'm reboot, i'm edit /boot/grub/grub.cfg (i'm change old root.disk path) , is it true? [01:19] <_userr> or false? [01:20] Gallomimia: You might need to replace -r with --purge [01:20] Smaug: nothing?

[01:23] yeah [01:23] time to go back to 2D for debugging? [01:23] Smaug: try changing the resolution via ctrl+alt+plus or minus....

[01:27] wheatthin: he said crossover, nice try :p [01:27] Gallomimia: (Or just look at the list yourself.) [01:27] no launcher bar? [01:28] if launcher bar is the icons usually found in the upper right, then that is correct [01:28] Gallomimia: try this "sudo apt-get purge linux-headers-3.2.0-34-generic linux-headers-3.2.0-34 linux-image-3.2.0-34-generic" no quotes. that should work. [01:29] and after that command you will be about 5% of the way to removing all the old kernels from your system :) [01:29] k.. Smaug I'd suggest deleting your ~/.config folder and relogging in [01:29] Gallomimia: Look at the list. (linux-image-2.6.32-34-server is *not* on the list.) [01:29] wheatthin: k, will try [01:29] Gallomimia: dpkg --purge linux-image-2.6.32-24-server [01:29] Does CrossOver not work? [01:30] yup. nothing since 3.0 [01:30] yes it agrees with you usr13 [01:30] HeyMan7-Cloud: what is it you want it for? [01:30] Gallomimia: Again, go to top of list, work your way down. [01:30] hey [01:30] Running Windows apps in Ubuntu [01:30] the command to remove them is dpkg --purge ?? [01:31] HeyMan7-Cloud, use wine [01:31] Gallomimia: Stop when you get to linux-image-3.2.0-45-generic [01:31] Gallomimia: Yes [01:31] --purge [01:31] HeyMan7-Cloud, wine is free and still constantly maintained [01:31] --purge removes everything, including conffiles [01:31] HeyMan7-Cloud: yeah, why not use Wine [01:32] that's all crossover-linux is [01:32] It won't install [01:32] it will.. what's the errors? [01:32] HeyMan7-Cloud, you try installing it via apt-get? [01:32] Yep [01:33] lemme see the output [01:33] I've told you the errors before but here, [01:33] Here is the terminal error - http://pastie.org/8053410 [01:34] wheatthin: deleted ~/.config folder, logged in, same prob [01:34] try to install those packages individually HeyMan7-Cloud [01:35] Smaug, then I'm guessing it didn't get installed all the way, or you partially updated and it got all messed up [01:35] maybe apt-get autoclean [01:35] i installed from a 12.04 cd, clicked yes to 3rd party and no to internet updates, and then when I installed it I apt-get'd [01:36] apt-get'd what? [01:36] Gallomimia: Did you say that the kernel you are using now is 3.2.0-44-generic ? [01:36] what do you man ewi_ [01:36] mean* [01:36] Gallomimia: uname -r #Check again to make sure. [01:36] "sudo apt-get install gnome-exe-thumbnailer" HeyMan7-Cloud === iTails is now known as ClassANetwork [01:37] Gallomimia: uptime #Tell us what it says. [01:37] ok, I"m asking this again - I have the i3 package (wm) installed - I notice it has created a i3.desktop under /usr/share/xsessions - however my .xsession doesn't use it - Can I (safely) edit it to use i3 to try it out (it's currently set to unity-2d)? Does .dmrc need to be changed as well? [01:38] ewi_: And, what does that do, exactly? [01:38] it installs a package that wine needs [01:38] Gallomimia: If uname -r returns "3.2.0-44-generic", you might want to stop when you get to linux-image-3.2.0-43-generic [01:39] oic [01:39] I'll let you know if it works [01:39] Gallomimia: uptime #Tell us what it says. [01:41] ewi_: The cmd you asked me to run worked but, wine still does not install [01:41] Gallomimia: At any rate, when you get to linux-image-3.2.0-43-generic, you will most certainly have freed up enough free space in the /boot partition. Use command df and see. [01:41] how can i test if HD has any trouble or is dying with a usb intallation? [01:41] you should notice HeyMan7-Cloud that the error you get now is one line shorter than before [01:41] ¡Hola! === rafael is now known as Guest23432 [01:41] anybody know the current kernel version? [01:42] oh === Guest23432 is now known as BALTA [01:42] !info kernel-image | wheatthin [01:42] wheatthin: Package kernel-image does not exist in raring [01:42] so pick the next package that is not automagically installing and manually install it. for example, "sudo apt-get install kde-runtime" HeyMan7-Cloud [01:42] somsip: linux-image perhaps? [01:42] oh, i'll try that, thanks ewi_ [01:42] !info linux-image | wheatthin [01:42] wheatthin: linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional.

[01:44] Gallomimia: What error are you getting now. [01:44] Gallomimia: uptime #Tell us what it says. [01:44] oh gawd get away [01:44] 12 days [01:45] Gallomimia: What error are you getting now? [01:45] ewi_: What about this line: http://pastie.org/8053950 [01:45] nothing has changed, apt-get -f install says the same old same old [01:45] purge command doesn't seem to work [01:46] or im forming it wrong [01:46] "sudo apt-get install wine1.4-i386"? [01:46] HeyMan7-Cloud: [01:46] Doesn't work [01:46] Gallomimia: Paste the error(s) [01:46] maybe you need to try a different PPA HeyMan7-Cloud? [01:47] How would one do that [01:47] are you trying to get netflix to work? [01:47] I'm trying to install wine [01:47] http://pastebin.com/X0ZgkwMz apt-get -f install [01:47] HeyMan7-Cloud: http://www.winehq.org/download/ubuntu [01:47] make sure your PPA is current [01:48] It is [01:49] try installing 1.5 [01:49] Error also [01:49] I'll paste it [01:50] ewi_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775799/ [01:50] Gallomimia, sudo apt-get purge linux-server && sudo apt-get install linux-server [01:51] HeyMan7-Cloud: paste /etc/sources.list [01:51] I don't think you can get netflix to work on linux since they use some Scumsoft DRM crap called silverlight [01:51] what? [01:51] wheatthin will you describe what that does? i think the channel would like to know before they execute it [01:51] psusi, yeah there's a tutorial on google for it, but it's a cruddy workaround [01:52] usr13 i read you [01:52] it works... [01:52] Gallomimia, it'll remove the linux-server image, and reinstall only one [01:52] while the server is running? sounds dangerous [01:52] not unless you reboot in between [01:53] if you reboot inbetween, then it's dangerous [01:53] until then, kernel will remain in memory [01:53] Gallomimia: Do you see where it says, "Version of linux-headers-server on system is 3.2.0.48.58"? Ok, from what you told us earlier you are running kernel version "3.2.0-44-generic". If that is the case, why is it you *still* have kernels installed that are newer? i.e. 3.2.0-45 and 3.2.0-48 I'm not sure what you've done, but you may need to reboot in order to straightnen the situation out. Maybe someone else can make some sense of the situation, see http: [01:53] ewi_: I really need to install ia32-libs [01:54] HeyMan7-Cloud: you have a file it's /etc/sources.list show it [01:54] usr13 do you think the system is bootable right now? [01:54] ok, then install [01:54] Gallomimia: I really don't know. [01:54] Doesn't work [01:54] i'd rather trash the entire system after recovering what's valuable. [01:54] than trying to reboot it [01:55] try.. [01:55] usr13 what i want to check if is the HD is defective, does not have any OS installed and im running ubuntu from a usb [01:55] once your install your new kernel, it'll be fixed [01:55] after reboot [01:55] Sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775809/ ewi_ [01:55] 48 just got installed [01:56] it went boom and broke on this update [01:56] Gallomimia: It probably is, *but* when new kernels are installed, the system *tells* you that a reboot is needed. Your sysop has ignored that and continued anyway. Maybe someone elese here has better advise for you, I dono [01:56] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa HeyMan7-Cloud [01:56] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa HeyMan7-Cloud [01:56] woops... [01:56] "sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa" HeyMan7-Cloud [01:56] actually i've noticed a large disparity between when things should tell me when the system needs a reboot and it never tells me to reboot it [01:57] Gallomimia, if you don't, then how will the kernel crap take place? [01:57] Gallomimia, do what you want, listen, don't listen.. I'm done [01:57] Gallomimia: "a large disparity"? [01:58] Hello.. I need some advice for my VPS, I using Ubuntu 13.04. but something weird when I enter uname -r command. it give me wrong version.. [01:58] ewi_: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775814/ [01:59] usr13 as in it never tells me when i need to reboot. motd is broken in its entirety [01:59] HeyMan7-Cloud, just wine [01:59] the sysop is me, and im a total amateur. it's messed up i tell you. better to prepare for a reformat [01:59] in any case, what wheatthin suggested has fixed something [01:59] Gallomimia: ls -l /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-3.2.0-45-generic.list #Tell us what the date says. [02:00] wheatthin: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775817/ [02:00] hey guys, i used linux live usb creator to get the net install of ubuntu on a usb stick, but every time i try to install it, it installs it the system on the chip, not the computer. [02:00] HeyMan7-Cloud: ^^wheatthin "sudo apt-get install wine" [02:00] june 5th :/ [02:00] ewi_: [02:00] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775817/ [02:00] \ [02:00] Sorry.

[02:01] hi i got this message when i tried to update ubuntu 12.04 after installing yacy "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." [02:01] Gallomimia: The system should have been rebooted June 5th [02:01] shoulda coulda woulda... :/ [02:02] this is a game server. people are playing [02:02] Gallomimia: And then again on what ever date the 3.2.0.48 kernel was installed. [02:02] and i don't have any proper scripts to restart everything on reboot. im a bad sysop :P [02:02] Gallomimia: That's ok. You are learning. [02:02] i am. its fun as hell [02:02] "sudo apt-get autoremove && apt-get remove --purge wine && apt-get install wine"?? [02:02] Gallomimia: kernels are inportant. ;) [02:03] yeah. i am very confused about the difference between debian stable and ubuntu [02:03] kernels twice a week with ubuntu [02:03] debian, quarterly? [02:03] different maintainers Gallomimia? [02:04] Gallomimia: I'm afraid I've told you all I know, (we have wandered into philosophy). ;) [02:04] with different aims. im trying to ask "why" really [02:04] hei All.. [02:04] ted talks on philosophy :) [02:06] Gallomimia: this is an interesting artitle about that http://raphaelhertzog.com/2011/11/17/people-behind-debian-mark-shuttleworth-ubuntus-founder/ other than that it woud be offtopic /join #ubuntu-offtopic [02:06] ubuntu net install keeps installing the system on the usb. any way to get it to install on the actal drive? [02:07] <_ACE> clear [02:07] <_ACE> ls [02:07] hello, Use the something else option and manually install, point it at the area you want ubuntu. [02:07] hello had that kind of issue with a netbook, you have to select manual instalation so you can manually set the partitions in the hd [02:07] hello point the installer to the HDD [02:07] It failed ewi_ [02:07] clear [02:07] hello, This happens when the usb is read as sda rather then the HD so look carefully. [02:08] which part HeyMan7-Cloud [02:08] is there any way i can auto connect to mobile broadband [02:08] i did a manual install and formatted the disk, still wont install on my drive. i know the chip is sda, but, i dont know where else to tell ubuntu to install the system on sdb [02:08] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775841/ ewi_ [02:09] maybe try to remove all wine from synaptic and then try to reinstall... i'm not sure HeyMan7-Cloud [02:09] kI'm back.. worked for me :) [02:09] hello, sda would be a harddrive not chip [02:09] try one command at a time HeyMan7-Cloud [02:09] sda is the chip, not the hard drive. sdb shows as 500gb, sda 1. sda is for sure the chp [02:09] chip [02:09] "sudo apt-get autoclean" "sudo apt-get remove --purege wine" [02:09] purge* [02:10] chip hello? [02:10] hello, You are wrong but oh well, good luck. [02:10] my usb stick [02:10] im telling you, im not wrong. [02:10] thats what it shows [02:11] "Package 'wine' is not installed, so not removed" === Aww is now known as NotAww [02:11] doesn't sound correct hello... paste your "fdisk -l" [02:12] HeyMan7-Cloud, no, but I think you tried installing a different program that wasn't in the repo [02:12] i will. right now its downloading first set of files [02:12] which is a dependency of wine [02:12] I'm using sudo apt-get install [02:12] open synaptic package manager and remove all wine affiliated programs? [02:12] not software center [02:12] then try again [02:13] HeyMan7-Cloud, that's what he meant software-center [02:13] sudo apt-get remove --purge wine* [02:13] yeah, whatever not text based package manager.. search for wine a uninstall all [02:13] Its not installed [02:13] hi [02:13] hi [02:14] How come we cannot just install ia32-libs? [02:14] and your sure you ran"apt-get update" [02:14] then install it HeyMan7-Cloud.. whatever works [02:14] It doesn't [02:14] then that's why.. i don't know.. i don't use linux so that i can use windows software [02:15] That's what i'm asking, I need that to install so I can use CrossOver. You're helping me with wine [02:15] crossover isn't supported by ubuntu. [02:15] HeyMan7-Cloud: crossover is a commercial product. i would seek support with them [02:16] Why is it not supported [02:16] cause they don't maintain it [02:17] HeyMan7-Cloud, did you try installing it before and it get stuck? [02:17] Wine or CrossOver [02:17] crossover [02:17] HeyMan7-Cloud: it *is* supported.. by the maintainers of crossover. [02:17] CrossOver works [02:17] I used the .bin installer [02:17] It just needs ia32-libs [02:18] any way i can enable auto mobile broadband [02:18] HeyMan7-Cloud: you should be able to find what you need in the repos [02:18] I read it on ubuntugeek dot com.. Crossover can be runned using wine [02:18] hi i got this message when i tried to update ubuntu 12.04 after installing yacy "The action would require the installation of packages from not authenticated sources." [02:19] CrossOver is pretty much wine [02:19] HeyMan7-Cloud, so did you try to install ia32-libs? [02:19] YEs [02:19] Yes* [02:19] and it failed right? [02:19] Yes === debsan__ is now known as debsan [02:19] so use your .bin installer with --uninstall [02:20] and try wine again [02:20] Dear ubuntu friends how do I make it show me iphone pictures? [02:20] But, why won't ia32-libs install [02:20] cause your crossover is preventing it [02:20] cause it's out of sourced [02:21] How, crossover needs it [02:21] michaela, Does it give you missing key info? [02:21] HeyMan7-Cloud, because it wasn't built for this platform [02:21] HeyMan7-Cloud: what is the exact error you get when trying to install ia32-libs? [02:21] build === fdr is now known as rafaelfdr [02:22] anyway, im looking at manually partitioning the disk, and, sda is my 1 gig flash drive, sdb is my actual hard drive [02:22] can someone help me with bash scripting?

[02:23] Kyan[: Please don't PM people assuming they can help you. I told you that #bash can help with bash scripting [02:23] michaela, When you add a repo without a key you will get that warning. [02:23] When I try to log in, all that happens is the screen flashes then I go back to the login screen. I think its X related. What do I delete? [02:23] ahhh ok [02:23] HeyMan7-Cloud just try $ sudo apt-get install ia32-libs-multiarch [02:24] because when i format sdb, it still installs ubuntu on the sda, which is a flash drive [02:24] Dr_willis^ [02:24] FoShizz: i would try as a different user, and confirm.. then, if you can login as the new user, you know the issue is in the /home directory somewhere [02:24] HeyMan7-Cloud: sudo apt-get -f install [02:24] hello, you can tell it exactly where to install in the installer dialogs. [02:24] What's with the "$" b4tn3t [02:24] wait, where is that!? [02:24] hello, under the advanced 'somthing else' options [02:24] wilee-nilee: how do i get this key [02:24] So [02:24] I can login as a guest. I've had this problem before and it has somthing to do with x. [02:24] theres only like 2 buttons at that stage. ;) [02:25] I've attached the iphone via usb device and it tells me [4324776.831850] ipheth 2-1.1:4.2: Apple iPhone USB Ethernet device attached [02:25] no no it's just current shell sign.. as user or root [02:25] FoShizz, your user setting/configs are breaking somthing. login at the console, and move/rename your config files (.config dir) and other .Dirs to some backup name or location and try logging in again [02:25] Can anyone give me a clue as to how to browse its files? [02:25] FoShizz, also try removeing your .Xauthority file if its owned by root [02:26] yes .Xauthrority thats what it was! [02:26] brb im going to try it [02:26] running GUI apps via SUDO and not GKSUDO - can screw up that file [02:26] b4tn3t IdleOne http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775870/ [02:26] michaela, Not sure, generally when you add repos where you get that info should have that as well. [02:27] HeyMan7-Cloud : apt-cache search ia32 << what the output? [02:27] HeyMan7-Cloud: this is on ubuntu? [02:28] IdleOne: Yes, 13.04 [02:28] michaela, If you had missing key info usually seen in a sudo apt-get update you could use that to get the key, if this is the problem. [02:28] HeyMan7-Cloud: check your software sources in Software Center, make sure that the Universe repository is enabled [02:28] b4tn3t: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5775874/ [02:29] where is .Xauthority located? [02:29] FoShizz: if you can login as guest, and other users it has to do with your /home directory [02:30] but where is .Xauthority located? [02:30] FoShizz: you can remove all the files in your /home directory.. the .hidden config files.. login... test.. then put back what you need [02:30] i know it has somthing to do with x [02:30] wilee-nilee: i didnt see it when sudo apt-get udate [02:30] FoShizz: it doesnt.. if it did, the guest user wouldnt boot X [02:30] FoShizz: you can test as i said to confirm [02:31] what is that command that prints the ubuntu logo? :d [02:31] ok how do i remove all my /home files? [02:31] just /rm [02:32] rm works [02:32] FoShizz: i would just move them out of the way with a file manager in the new user i made to test with.. or with gksudo a filemanager [02:32] no reason to delete everything [02:33] wilee-nilee: i think i need to authenticate this pacage how wold i do that [02:33] IdleOne: Software Sources won't open [02:33] Nvm [02:33] so simple cut/paste the entire /home or just the contents? [02:34] michaela, My guess is that you are missing a key, you might look to see on the web about this or the maintainers. [02:34] IdleOne: It's enabled [02:34] FoShizz: idealy, just what is broken, but since you dont know that, i say, move *all* the .config files.. the ones with the dots, and login and test.. replace what you need, such as the ones for your web browser... [02:34] michaela, I'm not sure yacy is even in the repos so not supported if so, just a heads up is all. ;) [02:34] HeyMan7-Cloud: not sure how to help you. I suggest you contact Crossover support. [02:35] ok [02:35] ok thank wilee-nilee [02:35] so do I [02:35] hei friends I need some advice for my VPS [02:36] do i just gksudo filemanager in tty? [02:36] FoShizz: you do whatever you feel comfortable with... gksudo is for running GUI apps, so that wont work from tty [02:37] how do you reccomend moving it? [02:37] FoShizz, tty? if you mean the console, there are console/text based file managers like mc [02:37] im fine with anything [02:37] or learn to use the command line. ;) [02:37] midnight commander is preinstalled? [02:37] Dr_willis: Hey there, any idea on how to get pictures off an iphone4 via ubuntu? [02:37] why do you need to remove all of your home? [02:37] anyone tried to install a brother MFC on ubuntu?

[02:38] just the .configs [02:38] Dr_willis: I guess =[ [02:38] buu, or email them to yourself/dropbox/other services [02:38] Dr_willis: I was really hoping it would mount properly [02:38] FoShizz, so use the command like commands to delete what you dont want. [02:38] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/iPhone [02:38] This claims it supports it natively somehow [02:38] buu, i never use the cables any more. not even on my android phone [02:39] FoShizz, if .Xauthority is owned by root. 'sudo rm .Xauthority' [02:39] FoShizz, for non root owned stuff you can use 'mv' to move them to some backup dir - in case you want them back [02:39] mkdir backups [02:39] k [02:39] mv .config backups (i think) === Aww is now known as Nick[serv] === Nick[serv] is now known as Aww [02:40] no file found dr_willis [02:40] what did you type EXACTLY and whats your current path> [02:41] im in the X11 dir [02:41] i typed it right [02:41] FoShizz, X11 dir? whats the EXACT path. [02:41] sudo rm .Xauthority [02:41] .Xauthority is in your users home [02:41] oh ok [02:41] ls -al /home/yourusername [02:42] no need to remove them.. just move or rename til after you test [02:42] This is when the old addage 'the most dangerous thing to a ubuntu box is the end user' seems to apply. :) [02:42] I have NO idea why you think you need to be in /etc/X11/ [02:42] yeah.. the issue is not in there if other users work fine [02:43] what does 'la' mean?

[02:52] FoShizz: l = long listing format -a = list all including files begining with . === Guddu is now known as Guest36858 === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [02:56] histo: Thank You! [03:02] hey guys, just finished the net install, but noticed the boot loader was installed on the flash drive (sda). can i manually install it on sdb? [03:03] there was a dialog during the install that had a pull down where to install it to. === Logan_ is now known as Guest85841 === Guest54086 is now known as Logan_ [03:03] I Belive after wards in the installed system you an also do a 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure grub-pc' and it will ask where to install to. === Logan_ is now known as Guest128 [03:03] if you are booting the flash drive. you would want to keep grub on the flash drive [03:03] how do i install all of the tools in oracle jdk 7 at once, instead of doing it one at a time as described here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/55848/how-do-i-install-oracle-java-jdk-7#55960 [03:04] that way it wont mess with the windows boot loader if you remvoe the flash drive [03:04] i am not booting the flash drive, everything is installed on my hard drive... [03:05] hello, weird that it installed to the flash then.. since you booted from the flash [03:05] hello: you can set bootloader position during the install (on the screen where you configure your partitions) [03:05] or did you even use the flash at all? [03:05] fixing it post install, I don't know off the top of my head [03:06] guess you could boot from flash, then remove flash, then do the command above. ;) === jono is now known as Guest3821 [03:06] keep the flash for a backup boot device [03:08] reconfigured thegrub, seems to be working [03:08] brb [03:10] Dr_willis thank you! [03:10] anybody know of a good html editor or ide that idents code [03:11] vim [03:11] is that free? [03:11] yes [03:11] yes [03:11] azazel91: er...all of them? You want heavy, full featured GUI or quick simple text editor? [03:11] yup, vim you can set tab spaces, width etc. [03:11] full [03:12] vim is the best, however it has semi-steep learning curve [03:12] YAY VIM [03:12] azazel91: then look at the likes of netbeans, eclipse. Middle ground is maybe gedit and geany. fast and simple is vim. Not a full list of course [03:12] so can you give me a link to it [03:12] I have a better question, how do I get photos off an iphone4? [03:12] also from the heavy end, i believe QtCreator works for many people as well [03:13] anyone has any ideas for black screen before grub with blinking cursor [03:13] buu: by paying gazillions in $ and sacrificing your first-born to great god Steve! [03:13] other then nomodeset [03:13] (initial install) [03:13] a link for vim? just open a terminal and type vim [03:13] or vi [03:13] so its already pre instaled? [03:13] !who | azazel91 [03:13] azazel91: As you can see, this is a large channel. 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 :) [03:14] hejki: this video claims ubuntu supports it natively =[ [03:14] ugh link? [03:15] do you guys mean sudo apt-get install vim [03:16] buu: i was being sarcastic :) [03:16] buu: not helpful, anyhow, off i go [03:16] hejki: =[ [03:16] buu: ubuntu does...and after a while a new iOS version is released and the support is broken...and so on with every ubuntu/iOS release neverending story :) [03:16] azazel91, apt-cache search vim [03:16] then sudo apt-get install whatever-thing-you-want-from-the-results [03:17] which of those vims is it [03:17] azazel91: grab vim-gtk too. if you decide vim hurts your head too much, you could try cream ;) [03:18] vim-gtk is the frontend, right? [03:18] if you have a standard ubuntu installation, it should already be installed [03:18] azazel91, open up terminal and type vim [03:18] right Ari-Yang [03:18] azazel91: if you are having this much trouble finding vim, you may find using it to be a bit difficult. A simpler editor might be better for you [03:19] nono, throw him in at the deep end! sink or swim! :D [03:19] so what editor(one that indents please) [03:19] lol azazel91 you're better off googling to get instant answers for this [03:19] I'm sure you can find a page that has all the info you want [03:19] azazel91: I've recommended 4 to you earlier. There are a lot. [03:19] vim is the devil... emacs for the winz [03:20] ugh [03:20] azazel91: try geany then. i never used it but i heard someone likes it [03:21] i already got netbeans but thats just for major programming languages [03:21] xangua: so do I do need to do something special to enable it? [03:21] it can't indent HTML? :o [03:22] i want one that indents html/css and web design languages [03:22] azazel91: you have one - netbeans [03:22] so are you sure it indents [03:23] azazel91: SHIFT ALT F [03:23] azazel91, why not just download and test them out yourself? [03:23] both VIM and emacs [03:24] Ari-Yang: though I agree with your recommendations, I think it's best to give realistic advice for the user here... [03:26] vim is worth learning the basics of - because its almost always avaiable in some form or another. Handy for rescue operations or working on other systems which may not be what you are used to. [03:27] I have VIM myself, will probably get vim-gtk cuz I like GUI for text editing [03:27] Dr_willis: when are you not going to be able to scp the file out, edit it, and scp it back in? [03:27] or edit over sshfs with your favorite local text editor, if you're feeling fancy [03:27] Dr_willis: I know that, you know that, and Ari-Yang knows that. But maybe azazel91 should be working up to that as his skills increase [03:27] Random833, i just use the sshfs thing :) so i dont need to scp it back and forth. [03:27] also you know what else is available? ed. and it has a lot less basics than vi. [03:28] I recall some dos edit, clone ages ago. :) but not seen it in years on linux [03:28] fte was a handy editor thats often overlooked also. [03:28] fun fact, there's an edlin clone that runs on linux === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [03:29] so which vim is it vim gnome/vim tiny/vim athena/vim gtk/vim nox [03:29] azazel91: what desktop environment are you using? [03:29] azazel91, run sudo apt-get install vim vim-gtk [03:30] then it will install the required deps too [03:30] if you're running gnome, you probably want vim-gnome, otherwise vim-gtk [03:30] #pugbot needs 1 to start now! (UrT version-4.1.1) [03:30] im using ubuntu 12.04 [03:30] * Random833 isn't altogether clear on what the difference is tbh [03:30] azazel91: did you try typing vi in a terminal window? [03:31] Random833: usually, they are compiled with support for slightly different options [03:31] jbark what next [03:32] it begins... [03:32] sda español? [03:32] !vi [03:32] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [03:32] alguien habla español? === rafael is now known as Guest20882 [03:32] !es [03:32] Running 12.10 x64 bit my internet just stopped working and now I can't ping my router even though I have an IP address from dhcp [03:32] En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

[03:33] What's strange though is if I ping my router, I only get one response back === Guest20882 is now known as BALTA [03:34] azazel91: if it opened, you should see VIM -Vi IMproved [03:34] if that worked, you have vim. [03:36] you forgot to tell him :q he won't be back for hours [03:36] ha! [03:37] anyone who can help a Windows user who want change to linux? [03:37] BALTA: whats your question? [03:37] I have a AMD FX PC with 16gb of RAM [03:37] I want a nice desktop [03:38] what distro is good for start? [03:38] hey [03:38] where is the ubuntu keymap? [03:38] what folder? [03:38] im from precise [03:38] Kyan[: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [03:38] BALTA: depends on what you want. ubuntu is a great start for learning. [03:39] Hey, I recently updaded to 13.04 and .sh files no longer run as a program [03:39] Help plz [03:39] BALTA: try out knoppix if you just want to play around [03:39] well i installed vim using apt get and dont know where it is [03:39] knoppix is a CD based linux OS that will not install on your windows PC. [03:40] jbark: BALTA could also use the live version of ubuntu [03:40] I have installed ubuntu 12.04 [03:40] utfans05: yes, I always forget about that for some reason. [03:41] I tried to change the appearance, but I made a mess [03:41] BALTA: what did you try to do? [03:42] I removed the bar that was left [03:42] and how did you remove that? [03:42] Hello. I have been able to disable tty2-tty6 in /etc/default/console-setup and /etc/inittab. How can I disable tty7 (so that pressing Ctrl+F7 does nothing instead of showing a black screen)? [03:42] is vim gtk it? [03:42] azazel91, 'vim' is a cli app. vim-gtk might be the name of the gtk/X gui one. [03:42] and Install Cinnamon entorne [03:42] azazel91, try tab completion. [03:42] and it's not look nice [03:43] BALTA, cinnamon can break ubuntu, i suggest just using the normal ubuntu desktop [03:43] what you mean by tab completion [03:43] BALTA, try removeing cinnamon. [03:43] azazel91, bash FUNdamentals.. comman on the cli.. fills in command names and other info [03:43] !tab [03:43] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [03:43] how i can remove it? [03:43] BALTA, how did you install it? [03:44] I don't remember, I folow a guide from google [03:45] using command [03:45] find the guide.. and hope it has a Uninstall section.. [03:45] let me check if i can find it [03:45] Or if its a new install.. just reinstall. [03:45] dr willis how did you install vim [03:45] http://askubuntu.com/questions/142533/how-do-i-remove-cinnamon [03:46] azazel91, normally 'sudo apt-get install vim' I dont use the X versions of vim. i just run it in a terminal [03:46] BALTA: do you remember if you used apt-get install cinnamon? [03:46] yes, I use a comand like it [03:47] i tried that and it says that it got the newest version [03:47] If I can get just one ping back from my router does that indicate something wrong with the routing table? [03:47] azazel91, so the exact issue is? [03:47] sudo apt-get --purge autoremove cinnamon (from that askubuntu guide) [03:47] for removeing cinnamon === matt_ is now known as Guest59774 [03:48] sup people [03:48] "Last_SQL_Error: Error 'Duplicate entry *** " ! anyone help? [03:48] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1987942 11.10 How to remove cinnamon and use Unity [03:48] well i tried what ari yang said sudo apt-get install vim dtk [03:48] gtk [03:48] * [03:48] azazel91, what was the EXACT command you used? [03:49] sudo apt-get install vim-gtk why [03:49] is that not the gui [03:49] and did you try typing 'vim-gtk' in a terminal? [03:50] or 'vim' [03:50] it says command not found [03:50] just has to type gvim in terminal to pop the gui after installing vim-gtk [03:50] perhaps its called gvim then - i dont use the X guis for vim. [03:50] weizhao: better of ni the #mysql channel [03:50] !find gvim [03:50] azazel91: I think vim-gtk is for kubuntu [03:50] *in [03:50] Found: vim-gnome, vim-athena, vim-gtk [03:51] does anyone know how to get a simple clock screensaver for ubuntu? i'm not picky about the type of clock or any other details, though seconds would be a nice touch. === kenneth is now known as Guest74434 === Guest74434 is now known as nerdtron [03:52] Global_Radio, check out xscreensavers package [03:52] hello [03:53] so ari yang was wrong [03:53] my 1st time here in the irc [03:53] gtk is using the gtk libs.. its not 'for' kubuntu. its Just VIM with a GTK widgits [03:53] nerdtron: this is the ubuntu support channel. Do you have an issue or are you just looking to chat? [03:53] Dr_willis, i have downloaded that. which one tells time? [03:53] Dr_willis: thanks [03:54] Dr_willis, thanks btw for your response :) [03:54] Global_Radio, theres dozens of screensavers you can download as part of the xscreesaver packages.. use the package manager to search [03:54] so which vim is it if its not gtk [03:55] vim-gtk is VIM with the GTK GUI widgit set.. [03:56] azazel: assuming you have install vim-gtk ....an example to open syslog in the vim gui ....type in terminal : gvim /var/log/syslog [03:56] installed* [03:56] looks like any of the GUI vims are called gvim [03:56] or they make a link from gvim to their real vinary [03:57] so how do i put it on the unity panel [03:58] run it from a terminal, right click, pin to panel [03:58] is one way [03:58] Dr_willis, do you mean to say that there are tons of packages that i can download that will add screensavers to xscreensavers? [03:58] Global_Radio, yes. searching the package manager tools will show that. [03:59] Dr_willis, what is "package manager tools"? [03:59] !apt [03:59] APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [03:59] or the large SOFTWARE CENTER icon [04:13] I am getting internet disconnected regularly ... am unable open websites here are the details http://ubuntuone.com/4qI6VD10nUN01lSdh8DuYX please guide me [04:13] anything better than comix? hopefully not qt [04:14] Dr_willis, are you still here? [04:14] whats happening? [04:15] does anyone know if there's a program that will display a live working clock in terminal, as a simple line of text? [04:15] NOT date === jack is now known as Guest98358 [04:15] mogaj: are the windows boxes using the same settings? [04:15] qclear [04:16] mogaj: looks like you have edited the file that says "do not edit this file".. [04:16] holstein: how can i check ? [04:16] Global_Radio: use date and a format string, eg: date +"%H:%S" [04:16] will ipconfig enough? [04:16] Global_Radio: then just wrap it in a loop to keep updating it regularly [04:16] mogaj: what is http://auticmatic.com/ ? [04:17] mogaj: is that a typo? [04:17] holstein: i did not put that ... it was there in the results [04:17] somsip, how do you wrap it in a loop? [04:17] mogaj: thats not in my results.. im on stock 12.04.. what are you using? [04:18] Global_Radio: like this http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/bash-infinite-loop/ [04:19] Global_Radio: or http://is.gd/aEOILC [04:20] holstein: this internet issue has been persisting for the past week ... i couldnot get correct response from any one ... initially there was no /etc/resolv.conf file .... but i used this echo "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | sudo tee /etc/resolv.conf > /dev/null by some guidance at this IRC channel but it did not resolve right now i am stuck here ... can you guide me to configure this properly? [04:21] rythembox is garbage hopefully it goes away next release [04:21] worst program [04:21] i mean, really terrible [04:21] mogaj: i would undo what ever you have done.. you have typos in there and links to addresses that dont exist such as http://auticmatic.com/ [04:21] i like audacious for audio programs uw [04:22] mogaj: i would load up the live CD that you installed from, so you can see that its not A. the hardware and B. the operating system.. then, you can move on to who or whatever broke your setup [04:22] holstein : undo does that should i delete /etc/resolv.conf file? [04:22] mogaj: it means, i suggest that you *cafefully* review exactly what you have done, and undo it [04:22] splinter701, does audacious play lists and stuff? I'm looking for a program like foobar for linux but nothing is close [04:23] yep, you can roll your own lists [04:23] mogaj: if that was editing that file that says "do not edit this file", then, reverting that would be a great first step [04:23] actually uw, audacious is often compared to foobar, it seems to be the closest equivalent [04:23] somsip, what is the bestway to get a precision CLI clock with seconds? [04:24] splinter701, hmm i honestly never heard of it, however i check it out as I'm interested now [04:24] is there something that functions like kalarm (i can have pop up modal messages at specified times)? without installing kalarm? [04:25] is there something that functions like kalarm (i can have pop up modal messages at specified times)? without installing kalarm (its pretty bulky since i'm using unity). using ubuntu 13.04 [04:25] sorry for repeat [04:25] Global_Radio: search on google I guess [04:25] somsip, did you just tell me how to do it? === daniel is now known as Guest93409 [04:25] uw, yeah its not as well known as it doesnt com prepackaged with the major distros [04:27] holstein: i undid the changes made to head file ... i also created /etc/resolv.conf fiel ... do i have to delete it too? [04:28] mogaj: i would undo the changes you have made [04:28] - public string default_background {get; set; default = "#2C001E";} [04:28] + public string default_background {get; set; default = "#000000";} [04:28] jesus..... [04:28] mogaj: you can always refer to the log of this channel if you forget what advice a volunteer gave you [04:29] hardcoded ubuntu colours. when i see stuff like that, i reach for my gun. [04:30] holstein : how can i look at the logs? [04:31] mogaj: this is where i get when i search "ubuntu irc channel logs" http://irclogs.ubuntu.com/ [04:31] holstein: thankyou [04:31] you can go by the date.. or, sometimes you can just search a nick, or a phrase [04:31] http://youtu.be/sE_sS_5MbXU i love my school [04:40] Running 13.04, random freezing. What logs might help? [04:41] No keyboard combos can get out of the freeze. [04:42] ssh in and check dmesg output perhaps. [04:42] if you cant ssh in, then the system is tottally frozen, if you can ssh in. it may be a X video driver issue (most common cause) [04:43] Thx. [04:44] jaybravo, if you've had the pc for more than a few months, blow out the fans and heatsinks with compressed air. [04:46] Its a thinkpad x220. Pretty recent build and new laptop. [04:47] jaybravo, did you try to get to tty as well as the sysrq codes? [04:47] Its usually firefox that seems to cause it. Or maybe a web site i'm on [04:47] jaybravo, the mouse cursor freezes as well? [04:47] I am getting this error 'sudo resolvconf -u resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf isn't a symlink, not doing anything.' how to recify this? [04:48] Mouse works. Function keys can alter sceen brightness [04:48] jaybravo: yes, what about ctrl+alt+F2? can you get to the tty2? [04:48] jaybravo, during "freeze"? [04:48] Yup [04:49] jaybravo, that's not frozen. What isn't responding? [04:49] No, on fn pg up/down [04:49] jaybravo: can you try to debug from there? [04:49] I will. [04:49] has Ubuntu been confirmed to boot on a 2013 Macbook Air yet? [04:49] what's fn page up? [04:49] Seven_Six_Two: a shortcut maybe [04:50] Fn key is thinkpads command key [04:50] F4 [04:51] jaybravo, and that's the only thing that doesn't work during the freeze? [04:51] Fn f4 puts it to sleep fn page up brightens etc [04:51] Only thing that does work [04:51] or the only thing that does work? [04:51] jaybravo: yes. which desktop are you using? [04:51] That and the mouse [04:52] Unity [04:52] jaybravo [04:52] hey yall [04:52] Im might see if xfce causes the same problems [04:52] how's it going [04:52] jaybravo, can you try alt+ctrl_f1 next time it happens, and check both top and dmesg to see if you can figure out what's going on. note high processor usage and memory limits. [04:53] jaybravo, you can issue "sudo service lightdm restart" to reset your login. [04:53] jaybravo: yes, and also trying the other desktop can be usefull to know where is the problem [04:53] jaybravo: Seven_Six_Two, just if he is using lightdm... [04:53] I'll give it a shot. But that combo usually doesnt work either [04:53] deezed, true, but it's default [04:54] I'm goig to see if i can ssh in from my desktop next time [04:55] Wierd, that only thinkpad utils work [04:55] jaybravo, ssh in first, and use watch "dmesg | tail -20" [04:55] then try to cause freeze [04:56] Its a complete lock out [04:56] yes [04:57] Seven_Six_Two: I will try that. Thx [04:57] jaybravo: also you could try to update, if you didnt do it yet, and then debug, or boot as a recovery mode and try to repair broken packages === Mayazcherquoi is now known as Mayzie [05:01] Does anyone know if you convert video files to iso on devede and then burn them to a dvd will the dvd play in a standard dvd player? [05:02] icult [05:03] Killcraft: yes it will if you burn it properly as a video dvd, not as files [05:04] depends on the software you use killcraft [05:04] i havent had much success doing that, but some people say it works [05:04] how do you burn it properly as a video dvd? [05:04] how can i download ubuntu 12.04 with updates till now to install in system which has no internet connection? [05:04] I was just going to use brasero [05:05] i'd say give it a try, blank dvds are cheap [05:05] Killcraft: brasero is fine. just open brasero and create a video project [05:05] Okay, thank you :) [05:05] Killcraft: dont do it from a file manager [05:06] hi all [05:07] I am not able to control screen brightness using my function keys and neither from settings. [05:08] I tried editing the brightness file in /sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:01.0/0000:01:00.0/backlight/acpi_video0 but still no effect. [05:08] samsung? [05:09] The brightness file is getting edited by function keys and by slider too but the brightness doesnt change. I have sony. [05:09] mogaj: i'd see "/msg ubottu foo" with foo equal to aptoncd & offline. good luck. [05:12] hi [05:12] anyone here? [05:13] sorry got dc [05:13] CoreISP did you say something? [05:13] or anyone? [05:14] There are two files name brightness and actual_brightness there and both hold the same valu and both are getting changed by function keys but still there is no effect on the brightness. [05:14] I'm looking for some assistance in installing Ubuntu to a USB drive, with the entire install being encrypted. [05:15] Why would one want the installation to be encrypted? [05:16] to be difficult to recover [05:16] Because the person I'm making it for needs security. [05:16] Scorpo needs security for what? For installing? [05:17] No, I want the entire USB dirve containing the Ubuntu installation to be encrypted. [05:17] I understand that I need the "Alternate Install DVD". Can someone please tell me the latest version of Ubuntu that I can get the alternate install dvd for, and where to get it? [05:17] I want it to run on a 32 bit system. [05:18] But why should the installation media be encrypted? I mean what sensitive data can it contain? [05:19] I'd rather not get into the reasons, thanks. [05:20] Just asking out of curiosity. Sorry. [05:20] no problem. [05:20] It's a bit of a long story. [05:20] okies :) [05:20] Basically I don't want another person poking around in any of the files whatsoever. System files or otherwise. [05:20] oh [05:21] hi what does this mean "resolvconf: Error: /etc/resolv.conf isn't a symlink, not doing anything" ... how to rectify this? [05:21] hello, whats the fastest way to transfer files over the local network from one machine to another ? i've tried scp it gave me a 100kb/s speed [05:21] So rudolf, are you able to assist me? [05:22] mogaj: hey, have you came here about 30 minutes ago? [05:22] basss: anything not secured would be faster [05:22] basss you could use samba [05:22] mogaj: asking about freezing thing? [05:22] deezed: no [05:22] splinter701: is samba supported originally by linux/unix ? [05:22] basss: vsftp. If the files are very large, use an external HD [05:22] scorpo, no..Sorry [05:22] deezed: why do you ask? [05:23] mogaj: so it seems that somebody had a problem just like yours [05:23] rudolf, okay, thanks anyway. [05:23] basss yeah there is a package for it in the ubuntu repos [05:23] deezed: i am having problem with internet [05:23] you can configure it with /etc/samba/smb.conf [05:23] mathfreak: does it require an ftp server ? [05:23] splinter701: okay [05:23] 哪里有中文频道啊？ [05:23] mogaj: are you using unity? and do you have any problem with freezing commands? [05:23] splinter701: thanks [05:23] mogaj: what is exactly your problem? [05:24] deezed: using unity ... not having freezing commands [05:24] basss: vsftp is what I would use to turn a computer into an FTP server. [05:24] I'm looking for some assistance in installing 32-bit Ubuntu to a USB drive with the entire install being encrypted. I understand that encrypting the entire install is an option on the "Alternate Install DVD". Can someone tell me where to get this, one the latest Ubuntu version is that is availabe on the Alternate DVD? [05:24] deezed: no problem with freezing commands === anuvrat__ is now known as anuvrat [05:24] mogaj: ok so what is your problem? [05:24] basss: So no. You don't need a dedicated FTP server to use vsftp. [05:24] I'm looking for some assistance in installing 32-bit Ubuntu to a USB drive with the entire install being encrypted. I understand that encrypting the entire install is an option on the "Alternate Install DVD". Can someone tell me where to get this, oand whatthe latest Ubuntu version is that is available on the Alternate DVD? [05:25] (sorry, corrected spelling errors) [05:25] scorpo: there is nothing on ubuntu's official website? [05:25] Not that I was able to find. [05:25] It talks about how to install to a USB drive, but not on encrypting the drive. [05:26] deezed: http://ubuntuone.com/4qI6VD10nUN01lSdh8DuYX the problem [05:26] scorpo: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads You can download an alternative image torrent file here. [05:26] scorpo: have you tried to use one of the options there, burn a normal dvd, boot from it and try an alternate install from there? [05:26] mathfreak: thank you [05:27] mathfreak: ill give it a try [05:27] mathfreak: thanks [05:27] deezed: right now i am bactracking the problem ... initially there was no resolv.conf file in /etc from there i am starting [05:27] deezed: yes, I tried that. It only had the option to encrypt the home directory, not the entire drive. [05:28] Hey, I got a problem, when I recently updated to 13.04 I cannot open .sh files as programs anymore. [05:28] Where's a good channel for me to ask questions about learning how to make Linux kernel modules? [05:28] HeyMan7-Cloud: Are the executable permission bits set? [05:28] scorpo, the alternative is a net install now, however believe you can encrypt with the live installer. [05:29] I* [05:29] As in "allow executing as a program" [05:29] ? [05:29] Hi wilee-nilee. I'm not sure what you mean by a "net install". Could you elaborate? Is that still something you download and burn to disc and then run it to install Ubuntu? [05:30] HeyMan7-Cloud: I believe that's the option. [05:30] mogaj: ok. Sorry to ask stupid questions, but have you tried to update, dist-upgrade, or repair broken packages? [05:30] Then yes, its checked [05:30] wilee-nilee: On the live installer it had the option to encrypt, but I believe that was only if I was intalling to my hard drive, not my USB flash drive. [05:31] scorpo, Net installs are you get a 25MB or so iso that links you to the repos to install from. More choices like servers...etc, much like the original alternatve, the net install has been around as long as the rest I believe. [05:31] deezed: right now i am planning on reinstalling as updates upgardes did not work but i would like to know how can i download ubuntu 12.04 with all the updates till now? [05:31] scorpo, The encrypt is for the install point t where you want usb or HD does not matter. [05:32] it* [05:32] Hey guys. Has anyone actually managed to get the wifi working on 12.10 (or is it .04) on surface pro? [05:32] HeyMan7-Cloud: Hmm... no clue. [05:32] wilee-nilee: I see. Sounds like I missed something during the install process then. [05:32] I saw/followed all the guides but no luck. [05:32] scorpo: cant you just install it normally and then encrypt everything with another software? [05:32] wilee-nilee can you tell me where I could find one of these net installers? [05:32] I got wpa_gui to start and it connects to my network but I get no IP [05:33] mathfreak: Because it won't run it in terminal and you cannot 'make' terminal load it [05:33] deezed no, you can't encrypt after-the-fact on the boot partition. [05:33] scorpo, THat link earlier has the net install. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads [05:33] mogaj: the problem about get the all the last updates is that sometimes they are pretty new, like from yesterday. So I would advise you to get the ubuntu 13.04 which is probably the one with most last updates by default [05:33] HeyMan7-Cloud: What sorts of commands have you tried on running your script? === HeyMan7-Cloud is now known as HeyM-Cld [05:34] Uhh [05:34] mogaj, otherwise you could just install 12.04 and wait for one day to get internet somewhere else maybe, and then update. its not thaaat bad [05:34] Java [05:35] I just got klined for asking for help :( what's that about? [05:35] wilee-nilee ohhhhhh, sorry, I get it now! I thought those had something to do with networking or running a server or something. I misunderstood what they were. [05:35] wilee-nilee thanks for clarifying! [05:35] Just trying to run ubuntu on a surface pro :\ [05:36] scorpo, No problem, good luck. [05:37] HeyM-Cld: I guess what I mean is, have you tried "bash .sh", "sh .sh", or "./.sh" on the command line yet? [05:37] No, lemme try it [05:38] heh, makes me wonder how else he could have tried running it. ;) [05:39] It works :) Now, how do you make that automatic? [05:39] Like when I click it [05:40] HeyM-Cld: Well, what I believe should be happening is that when you tick the box to "allow executing as a program," that should happen automatically. [05:40] lol =) [05:41] #askadvice [05:41] oops [05:41] HeyM-Cld: I'm not sure why it's not doing that. Try right-clicking the file and see what sorts of options it brings up.

[05:48] just script it if you want a desktop icon [05:48] I googled but couldnt find a working answer. [05:48] HeyM-Cld: Huh... that should run without issue (at least on Unity, I think) [05:49] Everyone is asking to edit the brightness file but it doesnt work. [05:49] Yeah, Like I said before it worked on 12.10 [05:49] splinter701: can u send me a link showing me haw to do that [05:50] is it possible to upload a folder to an ftp server from the terminal? [05:51] Hey k1l_ [05:51] this is the command: cd $HOME/PyBitmessage/src/ && python bitmessagemain.py [05:51] taken from: https://bitmessage.org/wiki/Compiling_instructions#other_Distros [05:51] HeyM-Cld: Yeah, sounds like the behavior changed. I'm not sure how to change that. [05:52] mathfreak: any idea how to get vsftpd working on ubuntu ? i'm having a problem with authentication [05:54] basss: What's the issue? [05:55] bgl doido [05:55] mathfreak: im getting asked for username and password, im using my username on the pc & its password [05:56] mathfreak: i get the following reply "ftp: Login failed" [05:56] basss: Hmm... Did you edit the conf file for vsftpd? [05:56] basss: I usually follow this guide when I set up vsftpd: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=518293 [05:57] basss: It sounds like the relevant line you want to look at in /etc/vsftpd.conf is "#local_enable=YES" [05:57] mathfreak:i'll check it out [06:02] evil ftp. ;) Wheres the people yelling 'use ssh/scp!' [06:03] Haha, by the way, do you know which channel I should go to for asking about linux kernel modules? [06:03] perhaps #kernel [06:03] depends on what you are asking also. ;) [06:04] I'll be asking about how to get modprobe to know about module dependencies.

[06:31] Maybe the brightness control isnt working due to absence of proper drivers. [06:32] the open source drivers are in the kernel already [06:32] you can install the proprietary ones from nvidia to (maybe) get better performance and control [06:33] something weird happened [06:36] ok...thanks splinter701 === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [06:38] nerdtron: http://pastebin.com/mg1BEXtH [06:40] benblom: Disk /dev/sdi doesn't contain a valid partition table - what was the last thing you where doing before this happened? [06:43] nothing with regards to that drive [06:44] I had all my drives mounted via aufs and automount (sshfs). I was moving a lot of data around on other drives, but I can't see how it would touch that one nerdtron [06:45] I had just filled the drive with large media files but I cant see how that should mess with partition table. the drive was formatted in ext4 [06:47] benbloom: Filling the filesystem won't corrupt it, and as you said, wouldn't touch the partition table, so that's just a red herring. Check the drive's S.M.A.R.T status to see if the hardware is going bad. [06:48] how do I check that? Jordan_U? [06:48] benbloom: You can check the drive's S.M.A.R.T status with gnome-disks. [06:48] it is right to as for xubuntu in this room [06:48] ?? [06:48] firefox66: yes [06:48] thanks [06:48] is there a CLI way to check it Jordan_U? [06:49] firefox66: Yes, you can ask questions about any Ubuntu flavor here, but the folks in #xubuntu might be more knowlageable about XFCE stuffs. [06:49] how can i mount iOS (iphone 3GS v6.0) ??? [06:50] i use libimobiledivice [06:50] but it possible to mount in thunar ??? [06:51] in ubuntu 12.04 i just plug and play, it auto mounted in nautilus, in xubuntu ??? [06:51] benbloom: Yes, "sudo smartctl --all /dev/sdi" [06:52] is ubuntu going to switch over to iproute2 instead of ifconfig anytime soon? [06:57] Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/BYkR6v6c am I boned?

Can you also pastebin the output of "dmesg"? [07:06] Jordan_U: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5776330/ [07:11] benbloom: I expected to see IO errors, but I don't. Still, all evidence points to your problems being hardware. Do you have all important data from this drive backed up? [07:13] no backups Jordan_U [07:14] hi how can I install ubuntu 13.04 on top of an already installed windows 8? [07:14] dual boot or erase win8 partition? [07:15] benbloom: Hopefully you've learned your lesson about that now. Do you have a drive large enough to contain a complete image of this failing (or possibly already completely failed) drive? [07:16] !dualboot | elisa87 [07:16] elisa87: Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [07:16] I do have space for a complete image [07:17] elisa87 mind: UEFI / GPT is a pain [07:18] benbloom: Then I highly recommend you use GNU ddrescue (not the similarly named but inferior dd_rescue) to make a full image of the drive, from which you can attempt further recovery. [07:19] thanks Jordan_U. i'll give it a shot. [07:20] benbloom: You may be able to recover all of the data on the drive, you may be able to only recover some of it, and of course anything in between (including being able to recover some files but not know their filename, making actually determining what the files are difficult). [07:20] benbloom: Sorry, I meant to also include that you may not be able to recover anything :( [07:21] yeah. i figured. thanks again Jordan_U [07:23] benbloom: You're welcome. Once you have the image finished, you can use testdisk/photorec (or other similar tools) to try to recover the data. There is also a small chance that ddrescue will be able to read the blocks containing the partition table better than a normal read (currently failing) and that the image will be mountable, using kpartx to create devices for each partition. [07:24] hmm. it's all just a bunch of large +5G video files. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [07:28] hi all [07:29] Hi isika [07:29] benbloom: That's good, as video files have nice headers which tend to make them easier to recover if the filesystem is unusably corrupted.

[07:37] xnoob, thats not really a constructive question, if you actually need help you should ask here, if you just want to complain there are plenty of other places to go [07:37] splinter701 "crack MY wifi" sounds legit?

[08:20] anev: ddrescue doesn’t care abnout “used” space [08:21] anev: There’s no such thing as “a lot of data”. [08:21] anev: (just ones and zeros) [08:22] vlt: that's what i thought, so i was expecting an image size approx 500gb even just filled with empty bytes [08:23] anev: What did you do, what did you expect, what happened instead?

[08:44] to be completly honest with u i just got into linux 2 days ago [08:44] Dovregubben: and keep in mind that gnome2 is no more supported by gnome. so you will need to look out for a new desktop [08:45] however im begining to think that im in way over my head [08:45] fungus_, OK. so you need the graphics card drivers? [08:45] yeah [08:45] fungus_, probably, you're not. take a breath, and let's trouble shoot [08:46] ive tried many different versions of ubuntu and lastly lubuntu... no luck [08:46] apparently thees alot of trouble with the chipset [08:46] !details|fungus_, [08:46] fungus_,: Please give us full details.

[08:47] acerimmer: IdleOne was lying, universe is not enabled by default [08:48] Dovregubben, thanks. moving on ... [08:48] i have lubuntu 13.04 manually updated kernel... my screen res is only 1024x768 and flash plays green and purple in mis sized window [08:48] I enabled universe and multiverse and ran "apt-get update" [08:48] wallpaper is blotchey [08:48] Dovregubben: I don't like being called a liar. the universe repo is to enabled by default.

For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [11:16] thunder1212, no way a NEW laptop doesn't have the usb option [11:17] acerimmer: what if one deletes the entire hard disk space? [11:18] thunder1212: are you wanting to remove Win8 completely? [11:18] eCurrency, it says in some forums that you might need to create a crontab for it to start after booting [11:18] ActionPa1snip: can i get it back if i want? [11:18] !crontab | eCurrency [11:18] eCurrency: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [11:18] thunder1212, we seem to be talking about 2 different things. You said you couldn't boot from the usb ... ? [11:19] acerimmer: yes [11:19] bazhang, yeah there is an option -j to set multiple concurrent downloads. [11:19] thunder1212, make and model of your computer? [11:19] Bazhang, but do I need to copy the download link everytime and input it to aria2c to start the download? [11:19] acerimmer: asus [11:20] Dont you think it is a bit lengthy? Or there is some other easy method?? [11:20] acerimmer: without cd drive [11:20] thunder1212, precisely my point. that thing DOES have the boot from usb option. [11:21] acerimmer: but when i start the system i dont get any option f2 or f10 or f12 to select boot deivice? [11:21] acerimmer: it just starts with asus logo and then windows 8 login screen [11:22] thunder1212, there's a display during power on/self test that tells you exactly what key you need to press [11:22] @wheathin [11:22] thunder1212, and read your documentation. if you ever have to reinstall win8 you need the same info. [11:23] Where you read that at? [11:23] acerimmer: ok will try again will be back.. [11:23] thunder1212: sure, use backups etc [11:23] ActionPa1snip: ok [11:23] thanks [11:23] eCurrency, https://bitcointalk.org/ [11:23] look there for more info [11:24] eCurrency, since it has no startup/init for the program, one must use a crontab to automatically start it [11:25] @wheathin checking. [11:25] see! I knew I wasn't crazy... EVERYBODY I know starts it with "bitcoind --daemon" [11:26] or if you're going to send command via json you use bitcoind --server [11:26] whatever?

[11:27] !rootirc | Guest98335 [11:27] Guest98335: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [11:28] wheatthin: although it is fun setting your IRC username to "root" and watching the IRC net-nannies pitch a fit [11:28] Guest98335: nick already taken [11:28] hi.

Thank you very much !! :-D [11:32] . [11:32] @ActionPa1snip - thanks... I'm on a hosted server... I wouldn't have access to gnome-scedule, or would I? [11:33] eCurrency, how would he know? you'd have to check with your host [11:33] OH! [11:34] @wheathin - I thought it was apparent that I was newb with ubuntu - didn't know if it was something standard... ok [11:34] well if you aren't on a desktop environment, then it wouldn't be of use [11:34] eCurrency: if you install it and have an X server on your client then yes. Again, learn cron. It's not hard [11:35] eCurrency: plenty of guides around. The file even tells you what each colomn means [11:35] Can anyone tell me ,what does a disk store in shared disk architecture? [11:36] Oh no... I've set plenty of crons in cpanel... until I got sick... but only did it at the command prompt a few times... no biggi [11:36] thanks [11:36] and thanks wheathin === mohammad is now known as Guest84043 [11:37] yup [11:37] wondering if it's worth it to tackle installing ruby - always run in to problems with gem bundlers blah blah [11:38] eCurrency: when I use cron I create a file cron.txt and put the commands in there.

[11:44] I'm watching a vine video on chrome, in ubuntu, so yes dahz [11:45] i am getting some grief from apt complaining signatures are invalid for one of the main repositories [11:45] any idea how I can re-fetch signatures ? [11:45] ok actually it didn't work with chromium but it did with firefox [11:45] dahz, try with chrome :) [11:46] or download the plugin whichever one it is [11:49] I have question about ubuntu software - kdenlive, and how to make titles be in front of the video, or overlay.

[12:08] Is Lenny even being maintained? [12:09] i nee to install binutils how i do it [12:09] Why does terminal not complete the file name when TAB is pressed? :( [12:10] rudolf_: That would suggest that there are two files with similar names and it doesn't know which one you want to tab-complete to [12:11] or you made a spelling mistake [12:12] @ sfxcc have you tried sudo apt-get install binutils [12:13] DJoes, its is not so...There is only one file by that name.

[12:39] ska: for the sake of 239kb, can't you keep it? [12:39] ska: ftp is the client, its not an ftp server [12:39] ska: cli ftp client [12:39] true, but it can be used to DL malware. [12:40] ska: so can a web browser [12:40] No web browser on this one, except w3m [12:40] ska: you could remove the execute bits I guess, but its not needed [12:40] ska: w3m IS a web browser.. === Simson-san|away is now known as Simson-san [12:41] What about gcc and g++, should I leave those on too? [12:41] ska: if you need them, sure [12:41] ActionPa1snip: do you harden servers much? [12:41] ska: the steps you are taking will have minimal gains [12:42] ska: you'll need to look into apparmor adn polkit etc, those will benefit you more in hardening the box [12:42] True, but a gain is a gain. [12:43] All security guides and people say to remove all unneeded packages. [12:43] ska: could make a group called ftp and give it group ownership to the ftp binary, you can then add users to the group whom you wish to have access to the binary [12:43] Does apt need ftp? [12:43] ska: Well, start with installing a minimal set of packages. [12:43] ska: No.. [12:44] jpds: I think we did, but ftp doesn't seem to be needed (for example). [12:44] ska: you can check the dependancies on packages.ubuntu.com etc, or rdepends may show you [12:44] But it is needed with "ubuntu-standard".. [12:44] is there a history of what packages you've installed with apt-get? [12:44] SuperLag: /var/log/dpkg.log [12:44] SuperLag: /var/log/apt/history.log [12:44] ActionPa1snip: No. [12:44] SuperLag: shows a log of all installs and removals [12:45] What is rdepends.. I don't see it as a command or package. [12:45] ska: apt-cache rdepends [12:45] !info rdepends [12:45] Package rdepends does not exist in raring [12:46] or apt-rdepends if you need a lot more detail. [12:46] thats the one [12:46] hmm... those list dependencies too. [12:46] I'm trying to figure out just the ones that I requested [12:47] Things like dosfsutils look innocent enough, but it could be used in ways that help attackers. [12:48] ska: Well, if they have a shell on your box, you're pretty much screwed anyway. [12:49] ska: Focus on keeping them out of the box. [12:49] jpds: if they have a normal shell, thats not good, but its not as bad as root. [12:49] ska: That didn't make sense. [12:49] jpds: do you ever use bastille? [12:49] ska: No. [12:50] hello , i tried to install chrome and I've had this error! http://pastebin.com/Mxf60JpB [12:50] ska: But I know of it, but I prefer to harden things in other ways. [12:50] Hiyas all [12:51] jpds: any guidelines or online outline of how you harden? [12:51] ska: No. [12:55] Has anyone had success buying a PC preloaded with ubuntu? [12:55] ska: But focussing on things like an ftp client binary isn't the way to do it. [12:56] ska: In my opinion, far better to just block outing FTP access at a firewall level. [12:56] out-going* [12:56] does anyone here know where I can find usage stats of Ubuntu? or downloadstats for the iso's? [12:56] sure. [12:57] jpds: My experience is that the layered approach works very well. All possible layers are effective, including access, and minimizing utilities that are not needed. [12:59] ska: True, but if the person has shell access, then they can run any exploit that comes out on the system. [12:59] True, but we don't allow shell access. [12:59] Great, so the ftp binary isn't an issue. :) [13:00] Unless they hack the admin account :) [13:00] Then you have bigger problems/should be using ssh keys. :) [13:00] True. [13:00] tinfoil hat collector :) [13:00] 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? [13:01] iceroot: Packages from proposed move to updates, if they validate successfully. [13:01] ActionPa1snip: Security is the reward of unceasing vigilance. [13:02] jpds: but there is a level where it becomes comical [13:02] jpds: ok, thank you [13:03] @wheathin - that cron command worked like a charm. I rebooted the server and the cron ran the --daemon command and the blockcount is back on track! Thanks [13:03] jpds: Sometimes automated bots use things like ftp, gcc, g++ and other tools to install and propagate. [13:04] hello, I am loosing connection to my ubuntu server every 5 minutes all of the sudden!

[14:02] hello everyone [14:02] heyo === derek is now known as Guest59376 [14:03] I'm having trouble getting the background in Ubuntu Unity to work, the dashbar and everything works great except the wallpaper area looks pixelated and the windows drag [14:03] everything works fine with gnome3 [14:04] I guess ssh isnt governed/started/stopped by sysv anymore.. [14:04] ska: https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/openssh-server.html [14:05] anyone here using the proprietary amd driver for his/her radeon hd graphics card ? [14:05] paulbanks: probably someone is [14:05] ska: it's managed by upstart. What do you want to accomplish? [14:05] ska: IME if you try the sysv way, you get information [14:06] jrib: I want to verify that SSH will come up with a reboot. [14:06] ska: did you install it through the repositories? [14:06] sure [14:06] all normal [14:06] ska: then by default it will be started [14:07] jrib: is thare any util that shows what service are started then? [14:07] including upstart and sysv [14:07] ska: no, but you can check your upstart configuration in /etc/init (and also read the ssh.conf init script because it provides a way to disable it in /etc/default) [14:07] Guys, does anyone know of a reason why my Ubuntu 12.01 gets stuck sometimes after going to sleep mode? Its happening ever since I started working there and im the one who installed the OS, so its a new installation. Any ideas? [14:08] Ardethian: there's no such thing as 12.01 [14:08] 12.04 [14:08] my bad. [14:08] :) [14:08] try another graphics driver [14:08] jrib: thanks.. I am 90% of the way there, I was just looking for a tool that tells me what services will be started in state runelevel 2. [14:09] ska: there is no such tool; you have to consult the configuration files yourself [14:10] ok,... I guess it was nice when all was known via sysv-rc [14:11] is selinux available in 12.04 [14:11] !selinux | linuxuz3r [14:11] linuxuz3r: SELinux is available on Ubuntu, but not officially supported. Ubuntu uses another security framework by default, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AppArmor [14:11] I'm sure you can utilize it whether Ubuntu makes it simple or not [14:12] is selinux backdoor for nsa [14:12] any0ne [14:12] just curious [14:13] linuxuz3r: What do you think we're going to say? [14:13] Hi all. I'd like to grant a user the ability to reboot a machine. The user has sudo access, but I don't want to be prompted for a password [14:13] narcos: What's wrong with a password? [14:13] narcos: is the user logging in through a desktop manager like lightdm? [14:13] readyjar: Scripts are bad at typing passwords [14:14] So, I want to remote reboot these boxes via ssh. I've setup keys so I can send commands without entering a password, but I can't send the reboot command [14:15] narcos: Read sudoers(5) and use NOPASSWD for reboot -- The example section even has an elaborate example that covers reboot for groups of people. [14:15] narcos: you can configure sudo to not prompt for passwords with specifc commands as babilen points out [14:15] narcos: also, make sure you use "sudo visudo" to edit sudoers, don't edit it directly === meoblast001 is now known as Guest18133 [14:20] do you trust selinux or nsa [14:21] should i trust them === kcristiano_ is now known as kcrist [14:21] what is this/ [14:21] ? [14:22] linuxuz3r: it's all open source, and heavily audited [14:22] songo: welcome to the ubuntu support channel [14:22] whether you want to boycott it for other reasons is entirely up to you [14:22] oh well GO DIE [14:22] omg reisio apparmor is selinux? [14:22] linuxuz3r: no it isn't [14:23] quit everyone or else [14:23] songo: hrmm? [14:23] i will find u and kill u all [14:23] if you dont quit [14:23] this group [14:24] songo: :) [14:24] is he still there [14:26] * ActionPa1snip stays [14:27] Hello [14:27] Hi, guys [14:27] 'lo [14:27] is it possible to just install ubuntu on another HDD or SSD (than e.g. Win7) and dual boot using the bios? Because it's probably cheaper than me wasting time on this UEFI dual boot problem [14:27] I have some problems with GIT since updating to 13.04 .. [14:28] I always get the following error: [14:28] fatal: unable to access '/home/$user/.config/git/config': Permission denied (where $user is my username) [14:28] ArneLurk: if it allows selecting which disk to boot from then yes [14:28] But the file as 777 permission and in addition is owned by the account I call this command from using SUDO .. [14:29] auronandace: Yeah, it's F12 on my gigabyte board. Shows all bootable devices in both UEFI and non UEFI I think [14:29] Anyone has an idea why the file still is not accessible by GIT, even so it's 777? [14:30] simonsimcity: try in .git [14:30] somsip, it's a bared repo ... [14:30] simonsimcity: that was maybe a bit too cryptic. Check the files under the .git folder for bad permissions [14:30] hey all wsup [14:30] simonsimcity: Is the whole path accessible, though? That is, is .config owned by you and readwritable, same for /home/$USER/? [14:31] simonsimcity: if it is a bare repo, there are no files to have permissions....er, right? [14:31] simonsimcity: it's strange for 1) that file to be 777 and not have more sane permissions and 2) for you to be using sudo in this situation [14:31] jrib, Maybe you just don't know what I do :) [14:31] simonsimcity: k [14:31] Guys, does anyone know of a reason why my Ubuntu 12.04 gets stuck sometimes after going to sleep mode? Its happening ever since I started working there and im the one who installed the OS, so its a new installation. Any ideas? [14:31] which do i download for my machine its 64 bit.. ubuntu 12.04lts or ubuntu 13.04 whats the difference [14:32] hi there, i need to run a program in 13.10 that cannot run beyond 12.10 [14:32] how ? [14:32] simonsimcity: sorry - I appear to have come in halfway through the conversation. I'll read back first... [14:32] simonsimcity: so what command are you running under sudo to generate the error message? [14:32] which is more stable...12.04lts or 13.04? [14:33] silv3r_m00n: 13.10 is not supported. And, if the program isn't supported above 12.10, you likely can't run it anyways. [14:33] somsip, jrib, theadmin, to explain the whole situation: I had a git auto-deployment working, based on a bared repository. [14:33] simonsimcity: I think that it's a git bug because I found multiple defects open on that issue http://www.redmine.org/issues/13631 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=460370 [14:33] bugs.gentoo.org bug 460370 in Development ">=dev-vcs/git-1.8.1.1 unable to access '/root/.config/git/config': Permission denied" [Normal,Unconfirmed] [14:33] theadmin: i mean, i need to run on 13.04 [14:34] Since updating from 12.10 to 13.04 I get the error, that the file is not accessible anymore. [14:34] silv3r_m00n: Same answer -- except the unsupported bit. You can try to download the package file from packages.ubuntu.com and install it with dpkg yourself, but it will likely not work. [14:34] X200, me too, but that are just warnings - not errors. [14:34] babilen, jrib: Ok I'll go read those docs, ta++ [14:34] simonsimcity: maybe you should try a newer version of git [14:35] mm12: they are both stable releases. 12.04 is supported for 5 years after release and 13.04 for 9 months from release. 12.04 was released in april 2012. 13.04 was released in april 2013 [14:35] theadmin: what does it mean to install ubuntu in a chroot ? [14:35] simonsimcity: so what is the command that is being run under sudo that causes the warning/error? [14:35] silv3r_m00n: Eh... Probably too complicated of a process, try using a virtual machine (virtualbox etc) instead [14:35] test [14:35] !test | babilen [14:35] babilen: Testing... Testing... 1. 2.. 3... ( by the way, remember that you can use /join #test ) [14:35] oh ok thanks jrib [14:35] hey guiz [14:35] somsip: Is there anything in particular I can do for you? [14:35] sup [14:35] babilen: meant for someone already gone [14:36] somsip, One example is: "sudo -u www-data git config --global" ... just to try if the user is able to read the config-file. [14:36] theadmin: virtualbox is too much , need something on same system [14:36] so its better to hanve 12.04lts [14:36] I love ubuntu. [14:36] silv3r_m00n: Oh. I see. Well, chroot basically means installing to a folder on your HD and then using the "chroot" command to access that install. [14:36] X200, how can I get hands on a newer git-version if it's not in the repo? :) Maybe a stupid question - but still ... [14:36] silv3r_m00n: I have no idea how to do that with the Ubuntu installer though [14:36] simonsimcity: try the git ppa https://launchpad.net/~git-core/+archive/ppa [14:37] Help [14:37] My skype will NOT start [14:37] simonsimcity: sudo -u does the command as root. so you don't get the environment for the user. That may be affecting it. http://is.gd/LsrJEu [14:37] I have looked all over [14:37] so i have to pa for this?? [14:37] narcos: Just simplify the setup in the EXAMPLES section in sudoers(5) -- It should be relatively straightforward to get it running with a combination of NOPASSWD and suitable user/group specification. [14:37] pay [14:37] I need help [14:37] Digget: then run skype from terminal and see what error message it shows [14:37] please [14:37] Digget: Run the "skype" command in terminal and provide the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com and link us [14:37] ok [14:37] simonsimcity: sorry - ignore me. It' slate. I think I'll butt out of this [14:38] whoa [14:38] theadmin [14:38] mm12: Pay for what? [14:38] for the program [14:38] narcos: I also just realised that I answered this question in #ubuntu -- It might or might not work in Ubuntu (I run Debian and typically provide help in #debian) -- That being said: I would be surprised if Ubuntu changed that. [14:38] simonsimcity: here's an explanation on how to add a ppa http://askubuntu.com/questions/4983/what-are-ppas-and-how-do-i-use-them [14:38] theadmin when i run it from terminal it works [14:38] mm12: What program? [14:38] but not the icon [14:38] Digget: ...odd. [14:38] ubuntu 12.0lts [14:38] babilen, narcos: should be the same on ubuntu [14:39] mm12: Wha? No, that's just a donation page, you can click "Not now, take me to the download" [14:39] mm12: And use it for free [14:39] ahh ok thanks [14:39] !info node.js [14:39] Package node.js does not exist in raring [14:39] jrib: Yeah, I would have been *very* surprised if not, but thought that I mention it. (I hate making wrong assumptions) [14:39] Hello. I have been able to disable tty2-tty6 in /etc/default/console-setup and /etc/inittab. How can I disable tty7 (so that pressing Ctrl+F7 does nothing instead of showing a black screen)?

Skype does have certain sound issues on some systems, but it's closed source so the Ubuntu team can't fix it. You may want to bug Microsoft about i [14:40] mm12: yup [14:40] mm12: Sure [14:41] theadmin alright then im good now [14:41] thanks [14:41] Digget: By "we" I mean the channel here [14:41] or a differenct drive [14:43] X200, Adding ppa, using the link you sent me, doesn't work .... I have no GUI available on that machine, neither do the commandline options work ... [14:44] wow this is coming down fast .... [14:44] 1.5 kb/s [14:44] theadmin, you wrote, that the path should be accessible as well ... why does GIT then complain about, that the file is not readable? [14:45] simonsimcity: can you access the file without a problem (without using sudo)? [14:45] simonsimcity: Because if a part of the path is not accessible, then neither is the file. I mean, technically, it does something along the lines of fopen("/home/username/.config/git/config", "r"); and just goes from there, the error is probably based on the file and not where exactly in the path the permission issue is [14:46] Hi, It seems, that I got issues with my vpn routing. I can ping a particular ip, but I cannot rweach it with my browser [14:46] hi all [14:46] X200, theadmin, I can access the file by the current user (without sudo), but cannot use "cat" to open it by the sudo'd user ... [14:47] I am trying to generate an SSH key pair, but I notice that I already have relevant id_rsa and id_rsa.pub files. If I want a new key pair (as I do not know where this is used), do I simply create 2 new files? [14:48] simonsimcity: Pwehe. Well, check the world permissions on all the folders of the path === pepigno75 is now known as newinandroid [14:49] theadmin, now, the user (the one I use in sudo) has access to the full path and the file but still can't access it ...

If you wanted to playback a list of audio files with customisable crossfades, so that on key press the next (or a certain selected) track immediately fades in, for example, in 150 ms while the currently running fades out in 750 ms, what would you use? Any idea? [14:50] theadmin, what does it mean if "ls" puts out something like this? [14:50] d????????? ? ? ? ? ? git [14:50] vlt: programmatically? I'd probably use a script and mplayer [14:50] simonsimcity: I'd say it means unknown permissions and access times [14:51] simonsimcity: ...and size [14:51] simonsimcity: Meaning it has no access to the file, most likely [14:52] theadmin, It's missing the permission "executable" for the folder :) [14:52] simonsimcity: Oh, that'd be the problem, yes [14:52] * genii tries to remember if simonsimcity has his ubuntu install on an NTFS filesystem [14:52] morning guys [14:52] mornin' [14:53] need help please, need a bash script to put content of uptime command to specified file [14:53] something like echo uptime >> /tmp/a [14:53] georgetso: uptime > filename [14:53] georgetso: what's wrong with the command you just gave?

[15:03] i ran inside windows [15:03] gundas: You're looking for screen [15:03] i would have to currently stop my process though? [15:03] theadmin: ty [15:03] gundas: yes [15:03] Hi all [15:04] gundas: Yeah, you'd need to stop it and run inside screen, I'm not sure there's another way... Actually, there should be, hit Ctrl-Z and disown 1, then exit [15:04] then you start screen and start the process. you can re-attach later and while disconnected it continues to run [15:04] Any recommendations on reading material via PDF that I can look into before I dive into ubuntu [15:04] !manual | LiveWire195 [15:04] LiveWire195: The Ubuntu Manual will help you become familiar with everyday tasks such as surfing the web, listening to music and scanning documents.

[15:08] LiveWire195: Downloads are at http://www.ubuntu.com/download [15:08] gundas, he means if you close your shell it will be killed, but I am not sure about that one [15:08] gundas: it means if you close your shell, your process will get sent sigint probably [15:08] I'm already on it :) 3 mins left [15:09] lol [15:09] jrib: ok well i just killed it to be safe. so i can now use screen to run it and be safe? [15:09] gundas: sure [15:10] to run something in the background "nohup command &" [15:10] gundas: its how UNIX manages processes, processes spawn other processes and become parent processes. The mother of all processses is init which is PID 1 :) [15:10] jrib: so should i do screen as root or a user (root more safer? [15:10] ezra-s: hohup makes the parent PID be init, not ideal [15:10] ezra-s: you just need the & to background it [15:10] gundas: probably as user [15:11] ActionPa1snip, I didn't know about that one, please define, PID to be init [15:11] gundas: as a general rule, only do root when necessary [15:11] ezra-s: but the shell you run it from will be the parent, so if you close the terminal, it will kill its children [15:11] Is the way cameras tag photos for upload proprietary, or is it a standard between manufacturers that software on ubuntu can read? [15:11] ezra-s: PID is the process ID, PPID is the parent PID [15:12] ActionPa1snip, I know what pid is, I mean I don't understand the expression "running with nohup will make the pid be init" [15:12] how do i install ubuntu inside windows or from boot up [15:12] jrtappers: you should be able to read it, search about "exif" === me is now known as Guest36003 === Guest36003 is now known as guampa [15:12] mm12, if you burn it to a disk and run it.

[17:36] Uvala: do other applications update ok? [17:36] arunbabu you first have to synchronize your pc with the repos. update does that. then you can install or upgrade [17:36] uvala: are you using the most current version from the repos? if not, try that.. try as another user to remove your config from the equation [17:36] !info choqok [17:36] choqok (source: choqok): KDE micro-blogging client.

[17:37] can someone please tell me why can't I format /dev/loop0 ? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5777790/ [17:37] Uvala: try others. If they don't work either it's more than the client [17:37] DJones, thank you for the information, I didnt know it..I'll try to check if it is the reason [17:38] holstein, I dont know how to apply your second suggestion, but I'll check if I have the most recent version [17:38] uvala: For info https://dev.twitter.com/blog/api-v1-retirement-date-extended-to-june-11 I used to use polly but thats broken now, I've had to resort to Friends [17:38] MonkeyDust: Thanks! [17:38] uvala: if you can't reach anyone in the irc channel, you can try banging on their development mailing list here: https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/choqok-devel [17:38] uvala: you can make a new user.. login, and test.. or, remove the config for the application from your /home [17:39] holstein, thank you, I'll try that!

[17:42] ActionParsnip, other applications update, i.e. RSS feed reader [17:43] suore 12.04 if you want long support, 13.04 if you want the latest stuff [17:43] suore: you can try them both live.. start with 13.04 if you dont want long term support [17:43] you mean I should do the mk2fs on the mona61713.img ? [17:43] I hear that in 13.04 is newest Unity, and is fastest. [17:43] Suore: I'd go for LTS as you are clearly new to the OS [17:43] suore: a fact is that 13.04 is newer [17:43] holstein, it is not the latest version I have. [17:43] i have middle-end PC, so maybe fastest Unity to be better. [17:43] holstein, I will check synaptic for the latest one [17:43] Uvala: that's a different service [17:43] SonikkuAmerica: can you help me please? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5776124/ [17:44] oh, you meant that way, ActionParsnip.. [17:44] so check for me :) as 12.04 have same Unity version so i install Ubuntu. [17:44] I will try with a newer version now [17:44] 12.04 [17:44] elisa87: According to that you smashed your disk - which means no partition table! [17:44] Uvala: try other Twitter apps with your account [17:45] elisa87: Have you sic'ed GParted on it? [17:45] SonikkuAmerica: which command I have missed and in which line? [17:45] suore: 12.04 is an older version of most everything.. 13.04 is the latest.. if you want the latest, use the latest.13.04.. if you want LTS, use 12.04.. you can try them both live [17:45] no ,,, I am trying to create a bootable disk image . just that for my simulator SonikkuAmerica [17:45] Suore: 12.04 has Unity2D which uses fewer resources [17:45] I have problem adding nodes to the maas server, has anyone done this before? [17:45] ActionParsnip, I got it now, yes, I will try now [17:45] i downloading 13.04 :) i want have all newest [17:46] Suore: 13.04 is no longer supported after January 2014 but 12.04 lasts til April 2017 [17:46] ActionParsnip: are those dates correct?

[17:47] ActionParsnip: sorry...my bad [17:48] https://www.google.com/search?client=ubuntu&channel=fs&q=gem5+disk+image&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8 SonikkuAmerica [17:48] it's ok, when 13.04 support is gone, 13.10 will be there!! [17:48] suore: for what you mentioned above, i might test the hardware.. ubuntu/linux is great, but its not "magic".. if you have bad or broken hardware [17:48] Th0r : never understood people upgrading from Quantal to Raring. Makes me chuckle [17:49] at Windows XP works all great... like rocket :P.

[17:50] Suore: XP is offtopic here [17:50] ActionParsnip, :) [17:51] I created a ssh key with ssh-keygen -t rsa, sent it with ssh-copy-id, but the remote server is still asking me for password [17:51] why? [17:52] Suigeneris: did you cat the file to your users key file on the server side? [17:52] salma__: i would elaborate.. what problems? what errors? otherwise, it will not help to repost [17:53] ActionParsnip: no, I sent it with ssh-copy-id like I always did [17:53] Suigeneris : then you missed a step [17:53] ActionParsnip: ssh-copy-id -i .ssh/id_key.pub server to be precise [17:54] Hello. I've build a custom kernel and am trying to follow the helloworld driver program at http://www.xml.com/ldd/chapter/book/ch02.html. However, I get ane rror saying "linux/module.h: No such file or directory" If I add the -I/usr/src/linux-headers-3.8.13-custom+/include I get an error saying "asm/linkage.h: No such file or directory" Chasing that includes down I have a bunch of other errror messages that probably won't even [17:54] fit on pastebin. Any suggestion? Thanks. [17:54] fully_human: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [17:54] How to have Chrome Canary on my Ubuntu? https://www.google.com/intl/en/chrome/browser/canary.html [17:54] holstein: I have 3 blades using 1 as server and the other 2 are compute nodes used ubuntu 12.04 server and added the nodes to the maas server [17:54] fully_human: i would try a more general linux channel.. otherwise, use the stock ubuntu kernels [17:54] the nodes are added but the commission fails [17:54] Suigeneris : yes but you need to put that text in your user's config. Simply copying the file is not the whole process [17:54] choqok version in synaptic is the older one that I have (1.2), can I somehow install 1.3. via command line? [17:54] holstein: Okay, thanks. [17:54] from the project website? [17:55] uvala: there will be instructions, but i would confirm that it addresses the issue before bothering with it [17:56] holstein: do you have any sugesstion? [17:56] uvala: there are ppa's such as https://launchpad.net/~adilson/+archive/experimental , but i would do more research before adding the ppa or custom version [17:56] ActionParsnip: I thought ssh-copy-id did exactly did that. besides, I compared remote server's .ssh/authorized_keys to my .ssh/id_rsa.pub [17:56] salma__: fails how? what are the error messages? [17:57] What's a good way to add some human-friendly description to a .csv table? I asked because the actual tables have several fields, and I am not sure if putting all of the description in the top left field (with other fields of that row left blank) is the right way to do it. [17:57] Suigeneris : cat the file and append it to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys2 [17:57] holstein: the web interface for the maas server just says "Failed tests" [17:58] holstein: Do I have to have ubuntu desktop installed on the each node before adding them to the server? [17:58] Suigeneris : www.linuxproblem.org/art_9.html [17:59] salma__: i have no idea.. i would run the basics. check ip's.. see that the machine can see each other.. check the server channel, and see if there is a maas community support [17:59] Suigeneris : then in your ssh server disable password login. Be sure you have some sort of access incase it's not right [18:00] hostein: Thanks! [18:01] ActionParsnip, I tried Turpial, and got login authentication error with 2 accounts. [18:01] how do I read entries in syslog? [18:01] Can anyone tell me how to delay startup for an init.d script so that a service that it depends on starts first? [18:01] Synergy says that it logs messages in syslog [18:01] Suigeneris : could even stay logged in then try a second connection after the key configs are in [18:01] last time someone was helping me troubleshoot problems, he had me copy stuff from the syslog to a syslog.txt file on my desktop [18:01] is that the only way? [18:01] Uvala: then its probably not the application [18:02] KaiForce: is this helpful? http://askubuntu.com/questions/9763/init-d-script-startup-problems otherwise, try a server channel === smithkm_ is now known as smithkm [18:02] Mrkb: users can read logs most times [18:02] ActionParsnip: still no :S [18:02] Can anyone tell me how to add canberra-gtk-modules to $GTK_MODULES [18:02] ActionParsnip: Where do I read it? [18:02] excuse me, is anybody here familliar with UPS power supplies and setting them up to work with linux/ubuntu? [18:02] http://askubuntu.com/questions/305701/my-emerson-liebert-ups-is-not-reporting-correctly-but-works-in-windows [18:02] so that means there is no Twitter client available for ubuntu right now? [18:03] Mrkb: for what application??? [18:03] Synergy [18:03] it says it logs stuff to syslog [18:03] CMOSteve: i would purchase one with linux support.. or one that is known to work [18:03] Uvala: there are many twitter clients [18:03] sudo avahi-daemon results in failed to create a server:invalid domain name [18:03] holstein: that is helpful, thank you. awesome username btw. [18:03] Mrkb: and how was I supposed to know it was for synergy? [18:03] any ideas [18:04] KaiForce: cheers [18:04] ActionParsnip: I said it. You must have missed it :-\ [18:04] ActionParsnip: Permission denied (publickey,gssapi-with-mic). [18:04] Uvala : I suggest you check service on the twitter side as well as username and password [18:04] ActionParsnip, I am referring to DJones' information that Twitter disabled clients. [18:05] ActionParsnip, I can login and use twitter from the browser. [18:06] i use twitter from the browser.. but, have you tried other clients in linux? [18:06] uvala: ^^ [18:06] holstein: i fear you may be right. my UPS appears to be one of the companies most generic models, and interfaces with the Generic USH HID drivers, so therefore it seems bleak. however, Windows does pick it up OK and there is one in the servers network. is there a Windows based NUT implementation i could hook and send events with to the linux box? [18:07] holstein, I've just tried Turpial, and received auth error [18:07] while logging in [18:07] CMOSteve: nothing about linux/ubuntu is preventing something native from working, or that windows based one from working.. but, there is no way to guarantee that here in this channel.. you would need, ideally the support of the vendor [18:08] uvala: that is not "twitter is broken in all linux" then.. that is just what it is.. auth error [18:08] holstein: ty [18:08] holstein, then I will try installing the latest choqok [18:09] uvala: what would i do? consider trying that ppa i linked, or read about the latest version of twitter clients and the issue DJones mentioned [18:09] I have an Ubuntu 12.04 install here. I'm not sure how long ago this began (it's not a computer I use/maintain often) but I noticed today that it can't shutdown cleanly. [18:09] uvala: ideally, twitter would either not have broken it (assuming thats what happened), or provide you with a fix.. if you can wait patiently, assuming that is the issue, a fix may come to the packages, *if* it can be implemented [18:10] uvala: otherwise, i dont think twitter guarantees linux support.. though, it works fine for me i the browser [18:10] I stopped the x server and shut it down via "halt" at the terminal... it gets to "system will halt now" and just hangs there. [18:10] BitWraith: are you up to date with upgrades? did you recently upgrade? can you try booting an earlier kernel version and see if it shuts down? [18:10] I don't think it gets to the point where it would normally shut off, because the filesystem requires checking [18:11] holstein, which would be better for installation, ppa or the tar package via sourceforge? [18:11] Linux ubuntu 3.2.0-48-generic #74-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jun 6 19:43:26 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux <-- the aforementioned box is running this kernel atm [18:12] holstein, how far back should I go? [18:12] I believe it's been updated within the last week. I can try the previous kernel and see what happens. [18:12] uvala: ideally, the one that has the fix.. but, you should be able to find that information without actually installing.. there might not be a "fix", since there is technically nothing wrong with the clients.. assuming the server side changes are what broke it [18:12] holstein, i installed ppa.. [18:13] BitWraith: i would try the next one back.. then, go one from there [18:13] holstein, I'll give the new version a try :) [18:13] hi! I have a problem installing nvidia drivers for a gt330m on 12.04 64 bit. could anyone tell me wether it is possible to use this card? [18:14] uvala: Any sucess? The only standalone client I've found that is working is Friends on Ubuntu [18:14] !nvidea [18:14] !nvidia [18:14] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [18:14] Ph0sphene: ^^ === Tux is now known as Tux[MODfiles] [18:14] DJones, I hope..I'll see it in a minute [18:15] holstein, should I manually remove the older version? or how do I get to the new version now? [18:15] uvala: i would make sure i know how a ppa works... i would want to add that ppa, update the sources, get the latest version, and know how to revert [18:16] uvala: what would i do? google around with that *specifi* version # and see if a fix is there [18:16] i tried that, but with no sucsess. x started in 640x480 and nvidia controlpanel said there was a problem [18:16] uvala: that pacakge via PPA is built before the date DJones mentioned [18:18] holstein, now I'm really confused... that box just shut down correctly. [18:18] I applied a couple updates just now, but none to the kernel... [18:19] BitWraith: so the kernel upgrade is likely the issue [18:19] In any case, it seems to be working. [18:19] oh.. its shutting down normally in the latest kernel? [18:19] some fix must have come in then... [18:19] No, it just shut down correctly using the same kernel that would not shut down correctly the last two or three times I tried it === Will_ is now known as Guest35249 [18:20] The updates I just applied were only to X and the flash player... lol [18:22] !netsplit [18:22] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

[19:02] rd_ use gparted to create partitions on the flash drive, one fat, the other ext [19:02] rd_: nah you'd want a Windows/Linux host OS [19:02] rd_ what OS are you in now?

[19:15] Yeah, I think I first tried mbr partitioning, but then I had to redo it as gpt. The reason for this was that the Win7 DVD needs to be on gpt iwith UEFI boards, so I had to reboot the optical in UEFI mode. [19:15] I'm now booted into UEFI USB mode. [19:16] delac: ppa's are not necessarily officially supported. i would ask the maintainer of the PPA [19:16] hi, I need to install MS Silverlight for chrome or Firefox...running ubuntu 12.04 [19:16] is there a command line where I can do the install from [19:16] ArneLurk: that leading 1MB unused looks like an issue to me [19:16] marianne_: ask microsoft, but im pretty sure its not supported in linux.. are you trying to use netflix? [19:16] !netflix | marianne_ [19:16] marianne_: If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop [19:16] is there something in ccsm that will darken/transparentify unfocused windows? [19:17] holstein: trying to run a D & D character builder [19:17] wheeee http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ubuntu/ [19:17] holstein: I have the impression that GNOME3 PPA is pretty official (could be wrong) [19:17] For Microsoft Silverlight support, install Moonlight with the following command: « sudo apt-get install moonlight-plugin-mozilla » in a terminal. [19:17] daftykins: daftykins made a single partition for windows using gparted. the 1mb empty space was the recommended setting. I'm told grub goes there. === DocGroove is now known as DocGrooveAway [19:18] delac: officially form gnome, but not from ubuntu? [19:18] delac: ask them.. but the gnome packages in the repo *are* official.. [19:18] ArneLurk: the EFI should've been there at the start. you should've used Windows setup to specify a smaller partition. i'd start again [19:18] !ppa | delac [19:18] delac: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA?

There are so many guides on this... [19:21] ArneLurk: that is a partition editor you are looing at [19:21] looking at [19:21] ArneLurk: i have no idea why someone would tell anyone to do that, other than if they're inexperienced === launch is now known as Guest35902 [19:21] !info moonlight-plugin-mozilla [19:21] Package moonlight-plugin-mozilla does not exist in raring [19:21] The screenshot is from the "install ubuntu" thing.

[19:24] holstein: If the owner chain of the teams goes to Mark himself, can it be considered official PPA? [19:25] delac: ? [19:25] delac: when the packages are officially i the repos, they will be [19:25] delac: the PPA is for newer versions out of the version [19:25] marianne_: Moonlight: http://www.go-mono.com/moonlight/download.aspx [19:25] delac: you can get newer versions backported, maybe.. [19:26] holstein: yes yes, but that was not the point. I'm just wondering why that one particular package even exists since it has been announced that it wont [19:27] delac: you'd need to ask the maintainers.. gnome or the ppa maintainers.. no volunteers here likely know, and its pretty much OT [19:27] delac: to asnwer your origin question: gnome revived the fallback/classic because redhat(the company behind gnome) needs that for their enterprise installtions [19:28] k1l: oh, interesting info. do you happend to know how long they maintain it? for 3.10 too? [19:28] #ubuntu-fr [19:31] delac: maybe ask in #ubuntu-desktop [19:31] ArneLurk: can you link me to the guide you followed for this manual partitioning for Windows idea? [19:32] No, I was told by "some guys on IRC". I'm on an SSD so I'd rather not reinstall unless I have to, but maybe I have to. [19:33] I read it somewhere too, but I forgot where [19:33] k1l: where did you find this piece of information. Cant find a word of it with google... [19:33] Hello,, [19:34] ArneLurk: the extra writes aren't going to take a year off its' lifespan ;) [19:34] More like 2 days. [19:34] hah [19:35] delac: http://searchdatacenter.techtarget.com/news/2240185580/Red-Hat-discloses-RHEL-roadmap but we are drifting into offtopic. ask the maintainer of that PPA which ist _not_ a regular ubuntu repo [19:35] I've a problem with the package avconv: when I try to convert a file into mp3 I've a wrong time which is displayed after in all my programs (Amarok, dolphin...) which is about 29mn instead of 3mn. Does anyone know how I could solve this ? [19:35] So, I wipe the drive? Just kill the partition table? Then let windows at it again, but use the win installer to make a 80gb partition and leave 40 unallocated...? [19:36] ArneLurk: i would yep [19:36] Windows does boot for me by the way. [19:36] ArneLurk: well you could just manually partition in Ubuntu's installer, it's up to you [19:37] just drop the 1mb at the start? is that the only problem? [19:38] Or I could try the "Something else" and hope that the boot loader finds it's way [19:38] if it doesn't work, I reinstall everything. [19:38] a typical EFI install puts the EFI partition at the very start [19:38] ArneLurk: yeah sounds like a good plan [19:39] Hmm, it's sda2 for me [19:39] obviously this is an SSD so the physical location shouldn't matter...? [19:39] Is it possible to configure the compiz "dim inactive" plugin? It's ignoring my settings for brightness & transparency, and I'd like the fade to be much faster. [19:39] k1l: ok. although, that classic mode mentioned in the article is not same as fallback. it's just few shell plugins. [19:39] ArneLurk: yes, but i mean start as in first partition [19:41] delac: you will not get the gnome2 desktop back. the fallback/classic mode ist the best you can get. [19:41] daftykins > I have that drop down list for the boot loader, just /dev/sda and I can put it on /dev/sda2 which is the 104mb efi partition [19:42] k1l: that is what I thought. So why is there then? :) [19:42] ArneLurk: i've a feeling if you chose /dev/sda you'd be able to boot Ubuntu and not Windows - and if you chose sda2 you'd be able to boot Windows and not Ubuntu :D but both would be fixable [19:43] delac: see the article i posted and my comment from above. [19:44] k1l: fallback and classic mode are not the same thing on 3.8 [19:46] daftykins: "fixable" huh? Like, telling grub to use sda2 via some... chain?

[20:00] I'm trying to manually partition. I have 8GB ram and a SSD. How does this affect Swap partition size. I'm told it will be rarely used with that much ram. [20:00] @ArneLurk: Wouldn't use SWAP on SSD [20:01] holstein: how can you control access with hotspot wifi? [20:01] This is a new Samsung 840. I'm told it last 10+ years with 10gigs a day write. [20:01] kimx: a password.. but this is not a router channel.. [20:01] kimx: there are wifi routers, hardware answers to your question.. also, the firmware i linked is an option [20:02] olivierrr: If I make no swap partition, swap can't be used?

[20:03] @ArneLurk: if you've got 8GB RAM you won't need it anyway [20:03] thanks trism, I got logs via fallback.. [20:03] That leaves me 40 gig for just / and /home then. Recommended ratio? [20:03] ArneLurk, you only need swap for hybernate, else you can reduse swapiness [20:03] i don't have a swap partition on my SSD, works fine [20:08] what is the x-ayatana-desktop-shortcut in the launcher .desktop file?

Is there an easy way to up the swap space to match? [21:02] (and if not, how bad would it be to run with 2GB RAM, 1GB swap?) [21:03] ForSpareParts: people still use swap?

[21:03] ForSpareParts: well, forget hibernation (but if that's not an issue.. probably won't matter) [21:04] zykotick9, Yeah, don't need hibernation for this. [21:05] ForSpareParts: i wouldn't think so. then 2GB physical and 1GB swap will work fine... it's probably a pain to delete and recreate the swap partition - i'd imagine. but i don't use vmware, so you'd know better. [21:05] gordonjcp, It was part of the default configuration. Is it no longer generally used? If so: why? [21:05] ForSpareParts: it's not as important as it once was [21:05] ForSpareParts: even very cheap computers have practically limitless memory [21:05] question.. I recently installed 13.04 on a system with 3 monitors running Radeon HD 5750. But when i disable mirroring the unity windows manager crashes and won't display the menu bar at the left of the monitor [21:05] zykotick9, I'm rather new to VMWare myself, but the impression I get is that it'd be a REAL pain. [21:05] any ideas? [21:05] ForSpareParts: the very cheapest crappiest PCs have hundreds or even thousands of megabytes ;-) [21:07] gordonjcp, Ah, that makes sense. Though I wouldn't underestimate my ability to run up RAM usage. Chrome + IntelliJ IDEA can take up, well... lots. [21:07] anyone?

[21:11] Yes! I think someone is getting a virtual hug! [21:13] It works! Whooo! I've never been so glad to see windows... [21:17] Ok im getting the same error message like i did with ubuntu 12.04 but i did remove that log file. [21:19] Thanks for the help guys. I just wanted to say that because you guys probably never hear it. [21:19] ArneLurk: so what happened in the end? installed grub to sda2 and only Ubuntu worked? [21:20] yeah. I pointed the boot loader to sda2 rather than the base of the SSD, and only ubuntu loaded (really fast I might add) [21:21] the sda2 partition was the efi boot thing windows had made. Then I ran boot repair and just clicked okay on the stuff [21:21] ArneLurk: ah well all's well that ends well [21:22] Apparently the bios doesn't care that it's not at the start of the drive (with an SSD, does it matter?)

[21:32] rohan: i wouldn't be surprised if it's forcing the nvidia chip on at all times, are you using any of the optimus project attempts? [21:33] daftykins: i thought so too.. i am just not sure how to mitigate it. I learnt about bumblebee today, but i haven't started using it [21:33] I'm afraid that the binary blob driver will break suspend/hibernate and other good stuff [21:33] exit [21:35] rohan: yeah that was one of them, i'm not sure if that's the very latest. nvidia proprietary? likely X will stop working [21:35] well maybe not with bumblebee [21:35] daftykins: oh, it's a good thing i asked then. what other things are out there? [21:36] daftykins: also, why would X stop working with nvidia driver? is there some known bug? [21:36] rohan: i'm not sure, i own an optimus laptop but i've never tried it beyond a livecd of ubuntu once that just booted into intel only mode i think === snafu is now known as Guest26533 [21:37] rohan: well the way optimus works is that the nvidia chip can't draw to the display directly, Linux doesn't know that so tends to break i think [21:37] rohan: i could easily be wrong as i've not tried in a long time [21:37] erictinnie [21:37] If i use rsnapshot over ssh, how will the backups be made? will the local server copy files from a remote server to the local server, or will the remote server copy files to the local server?

[22:12] brokenxubuntu: ok is there an easy way you can take screenshots off and put them online? if you open the terminal program and run 'iwconfig -a' and 'ifconfig -a' separately [22:13] SecretFire: install windows, partition as needed, then boot from the ubuntu install cd and run "update-grub" [22:13] mutante: 95 is unsafe? [22:13] daftykins: I can screencap and move it onto this pc and upload [22:13] makes sense [22:13] mutante: I don't really want high or common ones [22:13] brokenxubuntu: cool, sounds good. [22:14] SecretFire: understand? [22:15] brokenxubuntu : yes but how does the live cd update the install? the changes don't save do they?

I tried to run apt-get update and "kitler is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported." [22:34] it's ok though cause I prefer GNOME 3 over unity [22:34] kitler: sounds like all you had to do was delete your user's network config folder [22:34] daftykins apparently so [22:34] oh, can i go back and just do that somehow? [22:34] apparently installing multiple desktop environments is a bad idea :( ---> I might uninstall cinnamon... [22:34] ari-yang why?

[22:35] if anyone has successfully installed GNOME 3 and unity side-by-side then I definitely did something wrong.
