I just shrunk the size of one of my drives in Windows, and then installed Ubuntu onto the unallocated space. I can see the partition properly in Ubuntu, but now it's completely missing in Windows. I don't even see it in disk management, though I know it's there. Thoughts? [00:18] anyone with software to enhance Pc perfomance pls?

[00:19] scratch that.. [00:19] resizt0r: then sudo mount -o remount /media/Backup [00:20] MrWeb20, Did you install from windows or a live cd? Windows Disk manager will show a linux ext partition, but not the type. [00:20] MrWeb20: http://www.chrysocome.net/explore2fs [00:20] any software for backup in ubuntu....pls help.... === AntiSpamMeta is now known as Guest55039 === AntiSpamMeta2 is now known as AntiSpamMeta [00:20] MrWeb20: paste.ubuntu.com the output of lsblk [00:21] samuel: apt-cache search backup [00:21] !backup > samuel [00:21] samuel, please see my private message [00:21] Thanks for the replies. Let me re-explain something, I wasn't clear. On the disk, I shrunk my ntfs partition, and created a ext4 and swap partition in the free space. Then I installed Ubuntu onto the ext4. But there is still a very large ntfs partition. I can see it in Ubuntu, but I can't see the ntfs partition in Windows. In fact, the entire disk is missing from the disk manager. [00:21] samuel: bacula, amanda [00:22] samuel: please don't ask so many questions without even waiting for a reply. as to "software to enhance your PC performance", that's way too generic. you need to know what's hindering its performance to enhance them. [00:22] MrWeb20, how many HDs in the machine and whats the part info per HD? [00:22] "software to enhance performance" is a Windows thing, like regcleaners, you don't need that stuff ,heh === Charmlet is now known as he_ === he_ is now known as Charmlet [00:23] samuel: IMHO thw windows PC tune-up tools never worked well, in fact sometimes they would crach the registry ...Ubuntu doesn't really need PC tune-up tolls to inprove performance ... just do regular updates [00:23] Tex_Nick, he's gone [00:23] you could buy Kaspersky for Linux :) [00:23] hmm [00:24] well i tried that it said i couldnt do that until i use umount [00:24] i typed that and it said some other error [00:24] Gabboz: Three drives. One 250GB, with Windows installed on it. One 1TB that has one single ntfs partition, and a second 1TB that has a 800+GB ntfs partition, and now has a 116GB ext4 and 4GB swap. The 2nd 1TB is the one that is missing in Windows now. [00:24] Gabboz: yeah i just noticed ... guess i'm talking to myself ;-) [00:24] MrWeb20, If you resized the windows ntfs it usually needs a chkdsk, might ths be needed. [00:24] now it says it cant even mount it unless i am root [00:24] any clue with an access--like software in ubuntu for database applications [00:24] this* [00:24] How would I dinf Chinese fonts and settings for locale?

[00:26] MrWeb20, a chkdsk is a good idea anyway.. especially if Windows didn't force it after you resized a partition [00:26] MrWeb20, can you mount said partition in ubuntu? is there data on it already? [00:27] Gabboz: Yep, and yep. [00:27] Ok, thanks gents. I'll try out a few things and be back. [00:27] anyone else have steam for linux issues [00:28] anyone know hwo to fix that propblem?

I'm still having problems getting windows to see the ntfs partition that I have on the same disk as Ubuntu, after installing Ubuntu earlier today. I can mount the partition fine in Ubuntu, and gparted shows the ntfs partition. But I can't see it in Windows anymore. Ideas? [00:52] Hello [00:53] MrWeb20: i'd be curious to see a screenshot of diskmgmt.msc [00:53] Dik Dik [00:53] MrWeb20: You have more than one ntfs partition? [00:53] The mmc doesn't show the volume at all, daftykins [00:53] histo_, yes, but not on that volume. That volume has three partitions. A 814 GB ntfs, a 117GB ext4, and a 4GB swap [00:54] MrWeb20: what does the other volume have? [00:54] MrWeb20: had you tried scheduling a disk check as someone said? [00:54] I think don't go back to Windows :) === histo_ is now known as histo [00:54] One 1 TB ntfs, and a 250GB ntfs (three volumes total) [00:54] BALTA00: don't make stupid comments in here please [00:55] daftykins, I tried that, but I couldn't figure out how to do that without Windows being able to see the volume. [00:55] MrWeb20: is the other "volume" an external drive? [00:55] MrWeb20: so it boots fine but it can't even realise what it's running from? :D [00:55] histo, Nope. Three internal disks. [00:55] why u said that my commend is stupid? [00:55] Is there a simple way for me to switch from ubuntu 13.04 back to 12.10 without losing all my files/documents/programs? [00:56] MrWeb20: How is this anything related to ubuntu if the problem only exists in windows? [00:56] WiCkEd_: why go backwards? [00:56] WiCkEd_: not really no :( you would have to clean install, but you could keep your /home if it's a separate partition [00:56] daftykins, sda is a 250GB disk that has the Windows OS installed on it. sdb is for storage, all ntfs, and windows sees it just fine. sdc is the troubled volume, which Ubuntu boots from.

[00:57] histo, it's an issue that was caused by the install, and I've never had this issue before. Just looking for a bit of wisdom [00:57] histo, gparted, or the Windows mmc? [00:57] Ben64_: honestly, and this is probably the wrong answer, I downloaded a game from linux game from steam but for the life of me can't get the damn thing to run in 13.04...The game is supported for 12.10..that's all I'm going off of [00:57] MrWeb20: oooooh i thought they were both on one disk. Windows can't read the partitions anyway so why do you want it to? [00:58] MrWeb20: sudo parted -l | pastebinit in linux and then in windows paste a screen shot of the disk management screen. [00:58] daftykins, my third disk is the issue. It has an ntfs partition used to store videos, and windows can't see it anymore after the ubuntu install on an ext4 partition on the same volume [00:58] WiCkEd_: you may want to use 12.04 then, its supported until 2017 [00:59] WiCkEd_: there is a script floating around to create a 12.10 linux container and run steam from there. [00:59] histo, kk, that'll take me a couple of minutes, with a reboot. I'll do the pastebin first [00:59] MrWeb20: k [00:59] MrWeb20: i wonder if you didn't acidentally select 'erase disk and install' [01:00] daftykins, nope, I didn't. Ubuntu sees it as an ntfs partition, and I can explore it just fine [01:00] ah [01:01] histo, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5778862/ .

[02:26] Vim is a complex one [02:26] Emacs is another complex one [02:26] any other advise? [02:26] well [02:26] if you don't already have it (run 'type nano'), you can sudo apt-get install nano [02:26] vee_: about? [02:26] gedit, kate, scite are all reasonable options too [02:26] What do you suggest? And Oh I didn't mean to say yes to your X question. I don't know what you mean by X, but I have Ubuntu 12.04 I just started it in Text mode [02:26] You might ask in ##linux while you're at it, to get exposed to the vi vs. Emacs war [02:26] !war [02:27] running feed the beast a minecraft mod, wont work. however, runnign the regular minecraft does [02:27] Duke_: how do you want to work?

[02:38] I'll try :P [02:38] reisio - what was it specifically that #ubuntu people explained to me that was easy? Everything or were you referring to something specific? XD [02:39] MrKB: is the rtl8192cu module blacklisted? [02:39] MrKB: dunno, somethin' [02:39] MrKB: so is rtl1892cu part of the stack that 8192cu includes? [02:39] lol reisio [02:39] histo - nevyn - no idea [02:39] so it could be a simple thing to blacklist rtl8192cu [02:40] how would go about doing that [02:40] MrKB: FATAL: Module 8192cu not found. [02:40] armin - hm? [02:40] MrKB: grep 'rtl8129' /etc/modprobe.d/* [02:40] what does that do [02:41] MrKB: searches all your blacklist files for that module [02:41] histo: output nothing [02:41] Warning: Newbie question. I do not have sound and do not know how I can find the driver. I think I have to know which DKMS I use but I have no idea where I can find that information. Help would be much appreciated [02:41] oh ok. one sec histo [02:41] How to change ip adress of virbr0 ?? I need to release the 192.168.122.x network segment.. duplicate with another service on my network I need. [02:41] arming: not you.. that was for MrKB [02:41] MrKB: oh right, synergy without GUI [02:41] MrKB: you could also add command in rc.local to reload the module [02:41] what does my synergy having no GUI have to do with anything reisio [02:42] MrKB: you were happy about figuring it out [02:42] hence my memo, 'cause you'd left === Nitrodex is now known as Guest36903 [02:42] I have an nitel on board sound driver [02:42] w0lfsen: what makes you think you don't have sound? [02:42] reisio - oh. yeah. :) But I think I did that by myself O_O. maybe that's why you said that. [02:43] * reisio shrugs [02:43] histo - grep outputted nothing. So does that mean it's not blacklisted? [02:43] feed the beast still wont launch :( [02:43] how would I go about adding the command to rc.local? Although that seems to be a bit of a workaround. :P I'd love to find the root of the problem [02:43] reisio: I played some of my music but I do not hear anything. The sound panel seems to work properly. Indicates that it plays. [02:44] so what to do without module 8192cu? [02:44] arming: what? [02:44] MrKB: correct [02:44] w0lfsen: with an equalizer or something? === Logan_ is now known as Guest48721 === Guest128 is now known as Logan_ === viv`d is now known as vivid [02:44] yes [02:44] w0lfsen, open a terminal and do , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , there won't be any output if the driver loads properly , you'll need to reboot [02:44] w0lfsen: you using headphones? [02:44] MrKB: search askubuntu for rtl8129cu or whatever you chipset is called === Logan_ is now known as Guest15447 [02:45] histo: and then? [02:45] MrKB: see if others have found a fix for the issue you are experiencing without the workaround you are currently using. [02:45] MrKB: also you maybe able to use a different module from realtek [02:45] will be using lol [02:45] Oh ok cool [02:46] So how do I add the commands to the rc.local [02:46] (whatever that is) [02:46] reisio: never seen memo before ... just looked into ... that's cool [02:46] reisio you send memos to everyone? I thought I was special :( [02:47] is there a .deb for 64 bit java i? [02:47] BleusKaj okay I did that. Did not give any feedback. Is that normal? [02:47] w0lfsen, if the audio mutes upon headphone connection, [02:47] add this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, options snd-hda-intel model=auto [02:47] w0lfsen, yes, it's normal [02:47] dumb network.. [02:48] MrKB: :p [02:48] okay I will restart and see if it work. Thank you! [02:48] histo - how to add to rc.local [02:48] Tex_Nick: I installed all the fonts and language support. the only thing I can think of is the shall script isnt;t using the right locale [02:50] MrKB: sudo nano /etc/rc.local [02:51] MrKB: or gksu gedit /etc/rc.local [02:51] how do you imagine probing a driver and restarting is going to help him? :p [02:51] could the blank screen be caused by me using dwm? [02:51] thanks histo [02:51] reisio: You're talking about me, aren't you? XD [02:51] MrKB: nope [02:51] reisio: he's saying it works after he unloads the module and reloads it [02:51] reisio, because forcing alsa to reload doesn't usually work [02:51] reisio: ahh nvm [02:52] lol histo [02:52] I thought the same thing [02:52] MrKB: when i run sudo modprobe -v 8192cu, it's FATAL: Module 8192cu not found. [02:52] why are you running that arming [02:52] then what is the point of the modprobe? [02:52] That's a command I run over on my side to fix my wifi issues. [02:52] I don't know why he's running it [02:53] MrKB: didn't I just say I wasn't talking to you? :p [02:53] ^ how you know [02:53] oh,mg [02:53] omgomg [02:53] reisio, are you addressing me ? if so , use my nick please. [02:53] I don't remember [02:54] hello #ubuntu ;) [02:54] mixed [02:54] arming: your issue is with qemu or kvm not with ubuntu. I told you that the rtl8192cu stuff was for MrKB [02:55] Windows 8 is painful. [02:55] ^ lol [02:55] ok, i mixed that just now [02:55] Travisimo are you from Indiana? [02:56] ppl should be addressing with nicks , otherwise it gets chaotic in here [02:56] If you don't mind me asking. [02:56] nope [02:56] why? [02:56] Oh, I know a guy who used travisimo as his screen name here. [02:57] @blueskaj that did not work [02:57] w0lfsen, if the audio mutes upon headphone connection, add this line to /etc/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf, options snd-hda-intel model=auto [02:58] yes, I saw that but I do not have any headphones attached currently [02:58] saved the line if that happens once I have sound through normal laptop speakers [02:58] Hey histo, still around? [02:59] I'm being absolutely driven nuts by an issue that I'm 100% sure that I caused. my VPS WAS Karmic (9.10)... a few months ago, I went through the process of upgrading to Maverick. All seemed well but lsb_release -a still lists as Karmic and, maverick repos aren't working [02:59] !eol | here4thegear [02:59] here4thegear: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information.

[03:00] here4thegear yes [03:01] here4thegear: since two years ago... [03:01] Hey histo. I solved my issue. I don't know what caused it, but in Windows I used a tool called the Dynamic Disk Converter in order to convert it to a basic disk - without data loss - and it worked. Thanks for the help. [03:01] here4thegear, 12.04 s the earliest supported release at this time. [03:01] is* [03:01] done, it is all turned up at the highest volume [03:01] MrWeb20: nice... like I said windows issue [03:01] MrWeb20: ubuntu did not make it a "dynamic disk" I ensure you of that. [03:02] histo: Well, a windows solution at least. Something definitely happened with the gparted that started it all, but who knows what. [03:02] MrWeb20, I wondered if the disc had not gone dynamic. [03:02] wilee-nilee: it didn't appear so according to his pastes [03:02] * here4thegear facepalms self [03:02] Thanks [03:03] MrWeb20: wilee-nilee who knows what the windows tool did to fix it for itself. But it did work in linux. [03:03] histo, Yeah and the number of partitions was correct, go figger. [03:03] Yep. Oh well, just glad it's working. I'll get around to reinstalling ubuntu later this week. Take care [03:04] MrWeb20, You want to be aware of partition types and how many is all. [03:05] wilee-nilee: I'm pretty sure it was this bizarre 1MB partition he had at the begining of the drive [03:05] it is all on the highest volume but still no sound. [03:06] histo, I missed that until you mentioned originally, good eye. ;) [03:07] histo, could be his bios file, some pc's like compaq stores data on the first sector .. [03:08] Hello. [03:08] OerHeks : yeah i've seen that a lot [03:08] w0lfsen, in the terminal , sudo lshw -C sound , and pastebin the output [03:08] Bitwise: 'lo [03:08] How can I update g++ to the latest version (4.8.1) in 12.04?

[03:10] Bitwise: I don't think even 13.04 has that version [03:10] try sudo apt-get upgrade and sudo apt-get update [03:10] But g++ --version says 4.6.3 [03:10] BluesKaj http://pastebin.com/ZHAhkV3J [03:10] you'd probabyl have to find a 3rd party bin, or compile it yourself [03:10] probably* [03:11] !info g++ [03:11] g++ (source: gcc-defaults (1.120ubuntu10)): GNU C++ compiler.

[03:13] w0lfsen, your driver is installed and is loading ...so it's some other problem. I assume you are using an onboard sound chip [03:13] BluesKaj the graphic driver does not seem to work either. Maybe it is the whole intel driver package. I cannot change the brightness of the screen either. I can change the brightness in xubuntu but it does not do anything [03:14] BluesKaj you assume correctly. Both graphic and sound are on board [03:15] BleusKaj while googling I found this: https://code.launchpad.net/~ubuntu-audio-dev/+archive/alsa-daily/+packages but I do not know which one to install. Or is this nonsense? [03:16] w0lfsen, install pavucontrol , you can set your inputs and outputs correctlywith it. [03:17] audio that is , w0lfsen [03:17] BluesKaj PulseAudio Volume control? That is installed and I have played with it [03:18] someone wich package to install to browse android devices and its content, i can see it from 13.04 but older versions of ubuntu not [03:18] *knows [03:18] BluesKaj no sound though [03:19] w0lfsen: did you check your additional drivers section yet?

You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [03:20] lotuspsychje I am not sure what you mean. I googled for intel linux driver and found the website posted above. Not sure which one to download though since I do not know what DKMS I have. [03:20] lotuspsychje, Airdroid works well, it is in the google play store. [03:20] mmmm chocolate chip [03:21] :p [03:21] w0lfsen: try software&updates last tab 'additional drivers' to see if you see any driver in list [03:23] wilee-nilee: well i dont play with android myself, but some ppl i installed ubuntu for them, like to browse pictures from withing ubuntu [03:23] lotuspsychje ah found it. The section is empty :/ [03:23] w0lfsen: on what ubuntu version are you? [03:24] lotuspsychje, I have a nexus 7 and a htc android so I'm familiar with android in general. [03:24] lotuspsychje I downloaded it a couple of days ago. Xubuntu [03:24] wilee-nilee: did you try touch on the nexus7? im all excited to buy one? [03:25] w0lfsen: xubuntu 13.04 clean install? [03:25] lotuspsychje I have it running on the same partition as my windows.... I know that's bad but I did not want to risk my windows partition. [03:25] lotuspsychje, I have run touch and the desktops, all are in development so a bit rough is all. [03:25] lotuspsychje yes. I' d say so. [03:26] wilee-nilee: worth the install? can you browse decently? [03:26] w0lfsen: you could try #xubuntu aswell [03:27] w0lfsen: can your machine handle ubuntu 13.04, that might get your sound working maybe? [03:27] w0lfsen, lost my connection ...ISP is having probs here lately [03:27] lotuspsychje, Been more then a month on the touch so I forget that one, the desktop was okay but the touch function was problematic, and no wifi, but browsed fine. I hope the desktop installs run well in the end on the nexus 7 [03:28] lotuspsychje thank you for your help. I will try to get help from them tomorrow. I would not see a reason why I could not handle ubuntu. The laptop is two years old or so [03:28] lotuspsychje *it could not handle [03:28] w0lfsen: i really recommend ubuntu 13.04 (64bit) [03:29] lotuspsychje a friend of mine recommended xubuntu since it is easier for newbs like me. [03:29] lotuspsychje, I didn't keep the installs very long, but this was more than a month ago probably about 2. [03:29] w0lfsen: you will forget your windows soon, well ubuntu with unity is easy aswell [03:29] BluesKaj wb. Problem not solved so far. I checked the driver section and stuff. [03:30] wilee-nilee: im all excited about retail ubuntu tablets, hope thay come out soon :p [03:30] That would be nice. === Logan__ is now known as Logan_ [03:32] !nexus7 > lotuspsychje [03:32] lotuspsychje, please see my private message === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [03:33] w0lfsen, well , it's my bedtime so I'll leave you in good hands with the crew here [03:33] BluesKaj: he's in good hands sleep tight [03:34] BluesKaj thanks and good night! [03:34] hi, tomcat clustering on ubuntu 10.04 using mod_jk connector. pls help on this. [03:34] w0lfsen: did you enabled codecs and download and download updates during install in your setup? [03:35] mob001: you can try #ubuntu-server aswell mate [03:36] lotuspsychje: i just bought a Nexus 7 for the grandkids ... i want to install ubuntu on it, but they won't turn it loose long enough for me to do so [03:36] lotuspsyche I think so. I think this is also signified by the fact that I can start all my mp3s without a problem [03:37] Tex_Nick: cool, well like wilee-nilee here says, it might be still little rough..i think we better wait a little longer [03:39] lotuspsychje: yeah, i'm sure wilee-nilee ir right ... i have no choice though ... kids won't even let me play with it ;-) [03:39] haha === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [03:40] well i only want ubuntu's safety on any device i buy, so no android Os for me [03:41] ill wait until the #ubuntu-touch guys work it all out for us :p [03:42] w0lfsen: i would try a 13.04 clean, see what it does for your laptop mate [03:43] w0lfsen: installed this version on more then 10 machines, and didnt have 1 driver issue yet.. [03:43] lotuspsyche that's annoying I have to admit but what can I do...thanks. Maybe trying ubuntu then and not xubuntu if you think that makes a difference [03:43] w0lfsen: it might, but if you still wanna choose xubuntu's speed an easyness, stick to re-ask your issue mate [03:43] w0lfsen: its all about your needs [03:44] lotuspsyche not sure. I do not need much: Just multitasking: several word documents and pdf some other progs and the normal internet jazz, huge TB, skype, vsee, jitsi, etc. [03:45] lotuspsyche I like speed and easy.

It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [04:25] you can apply that to distros. ."better" is a matter of opinion [04:25] yes [04:25] coolack: fedora is OT here [04:26] OT? [04:26] well i'm a total noob to linux [04:26] !ot | coolack [04:26] coolack: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[04:26] coolack: try ubuntu or any of the variants live [04:27] coolack: what you know will likely be safer.. [04:27] so it would be best just to stick with windows xp [04:27] I'm ready to just stay on my iphone like most americans now lol [04:27] coolack: again, "best" is a matter of opinion [04:27] well i don't know linux at all [04:27] i switch from XP years ago, and quite enjoy linux, and it suits my needs well === StellarTeaFlan is now known as StarTruckFinale [04:27] so should i even bother?

[04:28] coolack: xo is OT here [04:28] xp* [04:29] coolack: download ubuntu or one of the variants and try it live [04:29] Jordan_U, Update to the latest version of gcc so I can use C++11 features [04:29] i'm more interested in what the community is like to get help from. mind if i lurk? [04:29] coolack: nope.. and ask relevant questions.. you are welcome [04:30] the #fedora room was not very friendly [04:30] coolack: check the /topics of the channels you join.. and be sure you are folling guidelines [04:31] Sorry to hear it coolack. As mentioned above the liveCD is a fantastic option. [04:31] following* [04:31] ubuntu is diff commands though right? === o is now known as Guest98816 [04:31] i mean its debian not rpm correct? [04:31] Bitwise: You can run "sudo apt-get build-dep gcc" to get all needed build dpendencies. [04:31] I want to know how to add a bookmark under the category "Computer" in nautilus. Adding a bookmark via the "Bookmarks" menu segregates in a different category which drives my OCD wild. (using gnome-shell / ubuntu 12.04) [04:32] Jordan_U, I already have it installed but it's older. I'm trying to get a newer version, I already tried to simply upgrade it. [04:33] coolack: Yes, many commands, mostly those dealing with package management, will be different. That said, most commands will work exactly the same way (that is *not* to say that you should try to follow Fedora specific guides on Ubuntu or visa-versa). [04:33] Bitwise: Do you know what "build dependencies" are? [04:34] Yes, I'm a developer. [04:34] in the fedora channel they would have called me an idiot for not knowing that lol [04:34] coolack: i would just download a live CD, and try it.. get some actual first hand questions.. you likely wont be doing any pacakge management from the command line anytime soon [04:35] coolack: also, as i said, fedora is OT here.. so please /joine the ot channel to discuss your experiences in the fedora channels.. thanks! [04:35] coolack: Please stick to Ubuntu support discussion and avoid offtopic comments. [04:35] ya i might do a live cd with ubuntu. i been using fedora for a week just installed it to my hdd. will i be able to wipe it out? [04:35] with the ubuntu install? [04:36] coolack: the installer will give you the options [04:36] ok [04:36] coolack: Yes, you can replace your Fedora installation with Ubuntu. Make sure that you back up any files from your Fedora installation first though. [04:37] you can dual boot fedora and ubuntu [04:37] Can someone aid me in updating gcc? I've gone through the standard procedure to no avail. [04:38] ya no i want to wipe out fedora. i'm dual booting with windows 7 [04:38] Bitwise: standard would be "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".. what are you trying? [04:38] coolack: the installer will present you options.. [04:38] holstein, I tried that, I tried to dl a mirror and compile and install, I tried the package manager etc [04:39] Bitwise: dl a mirror? [04:39] Bitwise: What part of my suggestion to run "sudo apt-get build-dep gcc" to install all needed build dependencies did you not understand? [04:39] Bitwise: gcc is in the repos.. if you want to upgrade, you just upgrade the system.. what are you doing? [04:41] holstein, I tried the upgrade. It says it's up to date but it's not judging by --version. [04:41] Jordan_U, All the dependencies were for Java. They aren't required for building from the source. [04:42] Bitwise: Please pastebin the complete output of "sudo apt-get build-dep gcc" and of "./configure" in gcc's source tree. [04:44] http://pastebin.com/HaFUGKTF [04:46] Bitwise: Also understand the complications of installing software from source without using the package manger, among other things that the files won't be know about by dpkg, and will need to be removed with "sudo make uninstall" from the source directory you used to run "sudo make install" from. Also, there are in between solutions like checkinstall, and the ideal solution is to build a *source package* of the newer version, though tha [04:46] I've been using SeaMonkey Composer in Ubuntu for quite some time, but it apparently no longer supported by Ubuntu as of 13.04. Is there something else available which is as simple to use as Composer? [04:46] Hi…….anyone know - how to compare 2 binary files in linux? i have 2 qr codes, need to check they are identical [04:46] Tks [04:49] TXRoadkill: yes, you can download seamonkey from it's web :) [04:57] it seems that I can [04:57] sorry. I can't install Steam from the USC [04:58] !steam [04:58] Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [04:59] holstein, thanks.

[05:29] TXRoadkill: that is the *only* way to have seamonkey.. there are other tools for what you are trying to do [05:29] i have used kompozer [05:29] !kompozer [05:29] kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. Note that there is a GTK incompatibility in !Intrepid and !Jaunty, so users of those releases should use the !PPA at https://launchpad.net/~giuseppe-iuculano/+archive/ppa instead. [05:30] not sure if its still in the repos [05:30] Is it available from the Ubuntu Software Center? [05:30] Yeah, that's the think [05:30] *thing [05:30] big changes in Ubuntu 13 [05:30] TXRoadkill: i dont use the software center.. but *all* package managers access your sources [05:30] Want to make sure it's compatible [05:30] TXRoadkill: you search in the package manger of your choice [05:31] not sure what you're saying [05:31] How do I make sure the software is compatible by Conical standards? [05:31] TXRoadkill: its not [05:32] right, which is why I like to use the Software Center [05:32] TXRoadkill: if it were, it would be in the repos.. and its not. so, if you want it, you'll need to get it from the site.. of youre not comfortable with that (and i understand) you'll have to try other application [05:32] does anyone know of something I can download from there which will do the job? [05:32] TXRoadkill: the software center is just a package manager [05:32] TXRoadkill: is kompozer available? [05:32] Yes, but approved packages [05:32] TXRoadkill: ? [05:32] let me check [05:33] TXRoadkill: no.. *all* the packages in the repos are "approved" [05:33] TXRoadkill: you are mistaken [05:33] haha i think i have to give up on linux [05:34] "no items match komposer" [05:34] TXRoadkill: what do you want to do? [05:35] TXRoadkill: seamonkey is not in the repos, and you can get it from the site.. do you want to do that? [05:35] TXRoadkill: do you want me to search for another wysiwyg editor? [05:35] WYSIWYG composing, like Netscape/SeaMonkey composer [05:35] what's the command to open Disk Utility? [05:35] madprops: gparted? [05:35] madprops: palimpset? [05:36] palimpset doesn't work [05:36] :/ [05:36] Anyone have experience with postfix as a relay? [05:36] madprops: palimpsest ...not a bad first guess :) [05:36] !info palimpsest [05:36] Package palimpsest does not exist in raring [05:36] !find palimpsest [05:36] it doesn't work, plus that's a funny name [05:36] There's something called Quick 'n Easy Web Builder [05:36] File palimpsest found in gnome-accessibility-themes, gnome-icon-theme-gartoon-redux [05:36] might try that [05:36] Hmm. Is that the right one... [05:37] oops, they want $20 for it :/ [05:37] madprops: From wiki: Disks was previously known as GNOME Disk Utility or palimpsest.

[05:44] Kartagis: tnx [05:44] yeah, not in their Add-Ons :/ [05:44] TXRoadkill: that? you mean the link i gave? i would just read it, and see if it meets your needs.. if i wanted a ff addon i would search https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/ [05:44] as I said, compatibility is the big issue [05:45] just checked from FF [05:45] TXRoadkill: its html.. it'll edit html [05:45] can anyone help me ether a bootloader or change the asserts for a rom so i can install it on my device [05:45] oops [05:45] wrong room [05:45] Yeah, but I might as well load SeaMonkey [05:45] if I'm going to go with unapproved software [05:46] and I don;t want to do that [05:46] TXRoadkill: its not "unapproved".. its not included [05:46] TXRoadkill: its just not in the repos.. we dont konw why [05:46] Ubuntu would consider it '3rd party' [05:46] TXRoadkill: so [05:47] I'm still trying to figure out why they dropped the SeaMonkey Project from the repos [05:47] TXRoadkill: its not there. what you want is not in the repos. so, you'll need to add it [05:47] They must have had a reason [05:47] what is the opensource software on sourceforge to check bill payment which is paid or unpaid or due date or underprocess or something like that? [05:47] what is the opensource software on sourceforge to check bill payment which is paid or unpaid or due date or underprocess or something like that [05:47] ? [05:47] linocisco: check sourceforge.. this is the ubuntu channel [05:48] TXRoadkill: bluegriffon has ubuntu 13.04 support [05:49] So does SeaMonkey lol [05:49] not the point [05:50] I'll try checking out the Software Center some more [05:50] TXRoadkill: if you want something that is not in the repos, you'll have to install it [05:50] Can't believe they wouldn't have included a WYSIWYG composer in there somewhere [05:50] Thanks for your help :) [05:51] !nvu [05:51] kompozer is a WYSIWYG HTML editor for easily creating web pages, and the continuation of the dead Nvu project. It is available in !Universe on !Gutsy and later releases. [05:52] TXRoadkill: i havent used one in a while.. i would just install what you want, and know how to remove it [05:52] That's what I'm trying to avoid [05:52] It's not that I can't do it, but I want my Ubuntu system to be as generic as possible [05:52] TXRoadkill: sure.. just dont avoid it.. its literlly what you asked for when you came here [05:52] only what they offer [05:52] I'm using 13.04; how can I force a fsck on reboot? [05:53] TXRoadkill: just install it.. know what you do to remove it [05:53] !fsck [05:53] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [05:53] Thanks again folks...

[06:35] just because i list a price in USD does not mean you have to earn USD [06:35] mathfreak: didn't work, and when I try booting into Ubuntu the screen goes black and I have to restart the computer and select the partition through the UEFI BIOS. When I try Windows 7 GRUB tells me invalid EFI path [06:36] Ben64: true. it does assume the cost, though.

[06:39] oh [06:40] Ben64: not entirely accurate, that assumes you would spend the time consecutively as you would work. If you could place a value on flexibility then it'd be more useful to the user === multiply is now known as Multiply [06:41] aeon-ltd: nice one. want to come help me with my research? it has to do with the marginal value theorem.

[06:43] sere: grub is there, I just can't boot into Windows [06:44] Augustus: is that a BAD thing? :D [06:44] Yes it's a very bad thing [06:44] Augustus: are you on amd64? [06:45] I installed from the ubuntu 13.04 amd64 iso [06:46] Hmm... I'll have to do some reading on this, Augustus. [06:46] Augustus: is the option to boot when windows there and you get an error. or no option [06:46] josss de putaaaaa [06:47] jajajajajaa [06:47] sere: the error is Invalid EFI path [06:47] comerme el perone [06:47] fucking bitchesss [06:47] no [06:48] do you like penys' [06:48] ?

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? Is there something I can script? [06:49] potofcoffee: that is one awesome nick. [06:49] Ashael: i prefer to shoot the whole apple tree and then pick them off the ground. optimizing efficiency and speed :o [06:50] sere: probably a good call. I'm waiting for a huge copy to finish. [06:50] then I'll try [06:50] okay [06:51] if I can't boot into WIndows, is there some way I can delete all the Ubuntu partitions and GRUB and then boot back into Windows? [06:51] or is that setting myself up for disaster [06:51] Ashael: no worries. jk anyway ;) [06:51] Augustus: probably using a usb drive with the iso on it. [06:52] a usb drive with Ubuntu to delete Ubuntu partitions? [06:52] and what about GRUB will that be gone too or do I have to do something special [06:53] Augustus: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFIBooting [06:53] sure. you can run the installation from the usb and use it to delete the partitions. you'd have to then reboot into windows, and fix the boot from there. [06:53] or you can try installing ubuntu again, maybe that will fix the dual boot and you'll have access to both. [06:54] (GRUB changed the boot so you won't automatically boot to windows, if you asked it to - that requires another step once you manage to log in to Windows) [06:55] note to self: do not use cp in terminal to copy a 30 gb dir [06:56] hm [06:56] Ashael: You can abort it and continue using rsync.

[07:11] later [07:25] hello there!! [07:26] I wanna do the distupgrade some one can help me? [07:27] nait: in a terminal run sudo apt-get update, then sudo apt-get upgrade, then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [07:27] just that? [07:27] utfans05, I have the 10.04 [07:28] and your looking to go to a newer version? [07:28] yes [07:28] nait: "distupgrade" is not a good term to use, as "sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" does *not* upgrade you from one release of Ubuntu to another.

The reference is somewhat cryptic to me. [07:55] hello [07:55] i install scribus svn from PPA. How do i know the path toward exec file ? [07:57] i have an icon in unity launcher so as to launch that scribus svn, but cant find where is stored the path neither [08:00] is encryption enabled by default on 12.10 + ?

If I do find something that works, I'll write up about it and report back. Thanks! [08:14] Is there a way to load everything apart from /home into a RAM disk when Ubuntu boots? Is there any downsides to doing it? [08:17] a111 sounds like a live session [08:17] more or less [08:20] a111: There is an application called preload which appears to load regularly used applications into memory so they start up quicker, I've never tried it so can't say how well it works, it doesn't really answer your question, but may be something to look at [08:20] a111: another question there might be ... are there any benefits ? [08:21] I don't see much point in running everything in RAM, It would be extremely volatile and exposed to a lot of errors. [08:21] you would if you were rich :p [08:22] JoeDM: speed [08:22] If I was rich I would be using SSD. Yeah its fast but ECC Memorys exist for a reason [08:22] a111: Another question would be how much ram do you have, you may find it better to install an SSD rather than a spinning rust disk to spead things up [08:22] 32GB [08:23] a111: Nice [08:23] I know a lot of people in the minecraft community like to run things on RAM so there must be a way [08:23] DJones: I tried the preload option on 13.04 on this box ... it's relatively new hardware ... i didn't see any speed increase ... i just did away with it a couple weeks ago ... it did slow by boot time down a bit [08:23] check this out https://wiki.ubuntu.com/BootToRAM [08:24] a111: preload might help you. Adding a load of oft-used software to start on loging might help you [08:24] *login [08:25] DJones: i really should have posted that to a111 [08:26] Tex_Nick: Interesting & good to know, what I read about it was that it could lead to slow downs in that the system would be using a lot more memory and wouldn't be releasing memory for unused app's [08:26] #() [08:26] OLAA === ER is now known as Guest52150 [08:26] hello [08:27] OLAAAAA [08:28] Just had a thought. You could use a program like Sardu to create a bootable RAM disk of a Ubuntu live CD and run it all from RAM that way [08:29] DJones: yes sir ... i just couldn't see a noticeable increase in performance ... on slower box's with sufficient memory it might help ? [08:30] TBH I don't think you would see a noticable performance increase for every day activities [08:30] I am looking to buy a new SD card for use with Ubuntu. I have class 10, but also see there is know UHS-1. [08:30] Does ubuntu support UHS-1 SD cards? [08:31] Tex_Nick: I guess a slower boot would be expected due to loading everything into memory [08:31] I'm wondering, despite that I like Ubuntu, why is the word 'Linux' gone from the Ubuntu website? [08:31] Ubuntu will run on the SD card but remember they usually only have read/write speeds of around 50mb/s [08:32] this line in fstab loads /tmp into RAM, it boosts my system tmpfs /tmp tmpfs defaults,noexec,nosuid 0 0 [08:32] compared to like 100-150mb/s for HDD === babilen_ is now known as babilen [08:33] I run Ubuntu on SD class 10 cards. I am curious whether ubuntu will have any problems with the UHS-1 type. [08:33] easy way to find out [08:34] should work if you have an interface for it [08:35] With that said I have had a server which can't boot from a standard USB with ubuntu on it... So hardware may affect things [08:35] peawormsworth: I don't see a problem with ubuntu and UHS-1. But you may not have the 'promised' speed, as UHS-1 cards need an approriate hardware to make fully use of the UHS standard. [08:35] i dont know that I have an interface for it. I just see they are cheaper and have potential to be faster. Will they not work with backwards compatible hardware? [08:36] peawormsworth: a quick search suggests it's more about kernel compatibility [08:36] I didn't think they were any faster to be honest [08:36] DJones: "spinning rust disk" i liked that ;-) [08:36] peawormsworth: You can use them without problem. I have one of these. They are stable and backwards compatible. [08:37] thanks minimec. I will try buying one then. [08:37] speeds are only 80/40 MB per second. I would run it for convinience only [08:37] hello [08:37] hello [08:38] hello [08:38] i am not worried about getting the speed from it. The UHS-1 cards are cheaper right now. [08:40] JoeDM: my experience in the past is that I will not even get 1/2 that speed. [08:40] If you want somthing small and convinient to install ubuntu on that will definetly work you might want to look at a DOM (Disk on Module). just eBay for somthing like "8gb dom" [08:44] JoeDM: If you do video / audio encoding, if you put the file to manipulate in tempfs it will go faster than any physical drive you can buy :) [08:45] IIRC when I used: sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdxX /mnt/usb_with_fat32, all files and directories used to get 0777 permissions. When I do it now they get 0755. Has there been a change, or do I remember incorrectly? [08:48] ActionParsnip: you're who introduced me to tempfs a year or so ago ... i've used it on several new builds including this box ... i do a lot of video transcoding with ffmpeg ... i need to give that a shot ;-) === Simson-san is now known as Simson-san|away [08:55] Howdy - trying to get java jdk on latest version of ubuntu [08:56] if I changed sources.list to add non-free, apt-get update and apt-cache search - it's not there [08:56] do I need to remove restricted or is it not non-free anymore, or is it not in the repos? [08:56] Or none of the above [08:56] !java | theahindle [08:56] theahindle: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [09:10] Hi [09:10] Is there any hibernate alternative in ubuntu? [09:11] hello, could somebody please explain what "network twain" is? I have an oki mc342dn and i need to scan from an ubuntu box [09:11] hi, somebody help, i was running kde, and in a yakuake terminal dropdown i started distro upgrade, as the distro upgrade started installing software packages the desktop suddenly became unstable and now I cant see the yakuake terminal [09:12] how to bring up the yakuake terminal [09:12] rudolf_: ? [09:12] silver_moon: you could try with reptyr [09:12] Guest77519: TWAIN is a software protocol/API to communicate between software and scannners [09:13] reisio: what should i exactly do ? [09:13] actually now i see a broken desktop, half gnome and half kde on the screen [09:13] silver_moon: install reptyr, run reptyr [09:13] DJones: understood but what is "network twain"? [09:13] cant, the distro upgrade is going on [09:13] i somehow need to bring up the yakuake terminal [09:14] silver_moon: CTRL+ALT+F2 will get you a console, potentially [09:14] +F7 will get you back to X [09:14] i need to sort 'ls' output via file names, any ideas? [09:14] DJones: I'm trying to use xsane to scan from the oki but not working [09:14] nanyaks_: ls | sort [09:14] thats a separate console, i need the yakuake console where the distro upgrade is going on [09:15] Guest77519: How is the scanner connected? Is it via USB or is it a network scanner on another machine [09:15] DJones: network [09:15] DJones: ipv4 [09:15] reisio:yeah, but doesn't 'ls' have options to sort? [09:15] nanyaks_: sure [09:15] hi, by knowing the pid of a terminal, is it possible to get that terminals output in another terminal ? [09:15] silver_moon: already told you how [09:15] means extract its stdout [09:16] Hello [09:16] Louwrens: hi [09:16] I've got a resize2fs process running and i think it's gonna take a while. can I press CTRL-C? [09:17] good question [09:17] Guest77519: My experience has only been with HP scanners over networks, I can't think of anything to suggest for you for an OKI scanner [09:18] DJones: ok, i was hoping network twain was a protocol the xsane could somehow interact with [09:19] does anyone know a good chat where I can ask about lvm questions? [09:19] thanks, reisio [09:19] Louwrens: #linux [09:20] Tex_Nick: its a tonne faster, your HDD is a lot slower than RAM, obviously you need to appreciate apps need to run etc but if you have a tonne of RAM then go for it [09:21] Guest77519: About the only thing I can find is the sane-project list of supported scanner at http://www.sane-project.org/sane-backends.html which doesn't list the scanner you mentioned [09:22] reisio, I mean is there anything like hibernate in ubuntu? [09:22] rudolf_: yes [09:22] What is it? [09:22] it is possible to create on Ubuntu server a job which will be executed automatically at a certain date and time? [09:22] it's 'hibernate' [09:22] !crontab | jony_easyrider [09:22] jony_easyrider: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [09:22] jony_easyrider: yes, use cron [09:23] jony_easyrider: you can use at [09:23] ty all [09:23] is there a gui to cron? [09:23] jony_easyrider: for a single shot use at, for repeated things use cron [09:23] rudolf_: are you using a laptop? [09:23] Gryllida, but why I am not seeing that function? I see just suspend, logout and powerout. [09:23] Catalystic: gnome-schedule [09:23] reisio, yeah [09:24] cron can owerwrite a file with another? [09:24] cron can do anything [09:24] rudolf_: https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/power-hibernate.html [09:24] DJones: ok, thanks anyway [09:24] jony_easyrider: cron just schedules commands to run. If the command can do what you need it to do, then you're sorted [09:25] jony_easyrider: each user has a cron, so the access will be effective as the cron. If you cron as root you can do anything [09:25] hello.. [09:25] somsip, ok, but if it needs to overwrite with sudo? [09:25] jony_easyrider: like ActionParsnip just said - you setup the cronjob with 'sudo crontab -e' so you are editing root's crontab [09:25] ActionParsnip: yes sir i have 16GB of RAM ... i might as well be using it for something ...99% of the time only a bit is being used ;-) ... thanks for the thought [09:25] i have a question about watch.. when i do watch du -H --max-depth=1 - it works the first time, then after the first interval it spits out an error [09:26] du: WARNING: use --si, not -H; the meaning of the -H option will soon change to be the same as that of --dereference-args (-D) [09:26] Tex_Nick: well, its used for files cache [09:26] somsip, but it won't ask for the root's password when executing? [09:26] jony_easyrider: no - it runs as root [09:26] somsip, ty [09:26] nevermind === strixbg_ is now known as strixbg [09:27] jony_easyrider: cron as root won't ask for password, you are root, sudoers states that root needs no password [09:28] i use a cronjob as root to shutdown my pc at 4am -- in case i forgot to switch it off ;) [09:31] Hey Gryllida the commands on that page did wierd things to my laptop. [09:32] My screen was divided into two parts. One part was stuck and the other was lagging. :| [09:32] hi [09:32] what do I need to connect to my server via VPN? [09:33] rudolf_: did it happen when you ran pm-hibernate, or when you were resuming from hibernate? [09:33] I intalled openvpn on a server and want to connect to that server over the vpn [09:33] hi, i started something very important in a yakuake dropdown terminal , but the desktop is screwed up and the yakuake terminal is no more visible, i need to see the output in that yakuake terminal, how can i do this ? [09:33] Is your VPN server your gateway? [09:33] silver_moon: I already told you [09:34] reisio: i cannot install any new packages :( [09:34] silver_moon: why not? [09:34] is the subnet that the vpn server giving to you the same subnet of the LAN ? [09:34] because already an apt-get process is running in that terminal [09:34] if yes there is a problem [09:34] wasanzy: openvpn is also the client, check docs at www.openvpn.net [09:34] silver_moon: so? === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [09:34] so i cannot issue another apt-get install [09:34] else add a routing to yhe vpn network via the openvpn server as gateway [09:34] wasanzy: so you'd have to also install it at the client machine [09:34] #openvpn [09:35] silver_moon: I told you how to overcome that as well [09:35] you don't appear to pay attention :/ [09:35] Gryllida, when i ran that command, my screen went black for 2 seconds and then it happened. [09:35] I did install it on the client mechine so what else do I do? [09:35] the vpn is not my gateway and they are not in the same LAN [09:36] wasanzy: http://openvpn.net/index.php/open-source/documentation/howto.html#examples [09:37] that link is not opening [09:37] wasanzy: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN#Getting_Clients_Connected is official documentation on setting up the client [09:37] ok [09:39] Gryllida, my laptop didnt actually turn off after that command I think. The screen went black for 2 seconds only. [09:40] rudolf_: what is the size of your swap partition, and the size of your RAM? [09:41] Gryllida, my swap is 1.98GB and RAM is 2.0 GB [09:42] What is the command to start irc server? [09:42] rudolf_: Increase swap and checking for the issue, or at least that's what that wiki page says... [09:42] Honvai: dpkg -L nameOfIRCServerPackage | grep bin [09:42] Honvai: alternatively, there might be a service you can start [09:42] Honvai: Which irc server? There are different deamons and you have to use different commands to start them. [09:43] Hmm [09:43] Gryllida: I have seen the page and is the same thing I did. my question is, I uses ssh to connect to the server, now that VPN is in place, do I use the same VPN? and how do I get to the exact server? [09:43] or do I need some kind of GUI? [09:44] Gryllida, ok. One thing more. I just noticed an exclamation sign near a ntfs partition in gparted. Is there some prob? [09:44] wasanzy: Just start the VPN service and then, when you connect to, say, 10.1.1.X (if lan is on 192.168.xxx.xxx), VPN will connect you to your server. [09:44] wasanzy: You can connect to the server, over SSH over the VPN. [09:45] rudolf_: Screenshot? [09:46] gryllida, ok..a min [09:46] wasanzy: What VPN does is take over a certain range and forward everything sent to it to your server. So you don't have to do special things other than set it up and connect to the proper server IP. [09:47] Hi, I am having problems with my mouse. My 1 year old pushed lots of buttons on the keyboard and now my touchpad won't work. The mouse works fine with a USB mouse connected. There is a touchpad deactivate key assigned to the Fn key on my laptop but this doesn't make it work. My partner's laptop has had the same problem for quite some time now. Can anyone help? [09:48] OK [09:49] owahi: did you clean it? [09:49] and I don't need to do anything on the router? [09:50] how can I set cron to execute only once? [09:51] jony_easyrider: use 'at' instead [09:53] jony_easyrider cron is used to execute commands repeatedly [09:53] reisio: he had clean hands. [09:54] owahi: sure he did [09:54] owahi: now clean your touchpad and see if anything changes [09:54] jony_easyrider: at is a one-shot scheduler, not repeated commands. Dead handy === qwebirc77224 is now known as qvttjk [09:56] reisio: seriously, is there a way I can get an index of all special function keys ? [09:56] Gryllida, http://tinypic.com/r/2wrghoi/5 [09:57] How do I send the command to disown a process to another bash ? is it possible? [09:57] owahi: it'd be sensible to make sure it works at all first [09:57] owahi keep the super key pressed for a few seconds [09:57] Louwrens: help disown ? [09:58] Gryllida, you there? [09:58] rudolf__: It's not mounted, so probably no need to worry about it and hibernate. [09:58] reisio: the touchpad works fine in the startup screen before I log in so no problems there. [09:59] Gryllida, see that exclamation mark? Why is it there? Is there some prob? [09:59] sorry for my questions, but in this case, it means when I connect to the public IP, the VPN will be taking me to the lan where my server is? [09:59] owahi: what does 'xinput' say? [09:59] Louwrens: why do you want to do this? Give more details about what exactly you are doing and why [09:59] MonkeyDust: no luck with that. any other options? [10:01] Alright, I was so silly to run a lvresize command without running a screen session. Now I would like to disown the resize2fs process it spawned, but after hitting ctrl-z, I do not get a prompt to run bg and disown. possibly because lvresize runs a bash scipt... [10:01] Louwrens: so you've hit ctrl-z but done nothing else at this point? [10:02] ping [10:03] reisio, can you tell what is that mark for in that pic? [10:03] I can hit ctrl-z and I see from another (ssh) session that resize2fs and the parent bash script /sbin/fsadm gets suspended, and I can continue them both with kill -CONT.... but I want to disown the process from the ssh shell [10:03] Louwrens: is it listed in "jobs" output? [10:03] I cannot get a prompt to run jobs [10:03] rudolf__: Ok, it's not related to hibernate and it's a separate issue. You could try running a disk check on it and pastebin a full report. (A thing I didn't do myself; it could be «ntfsfix /dev/sda8».) [10:03] rudolf__: pic? [10:04] Louwrens: didn't you suspend the process? [10:04] how do i kill firefox process? [10:04] reisio: http://oi40.tinypic.com/2wrghoi.jpg is rudolf__'s screenshot. [10:04] yes, but somehow I do not get a prompt. I cannot run bg, disown or jobs [10:04] Gryllida? [10:04] dopie: «ps aux | grep firefox; kill pid» [10:04] it's lvresize that runs the bash script that runs the resize2fs command [10:04] ...which mark? [10:05] reisio: Exclamation mark, «!». [10:05] wasanzy: What's up? [10:05] jrib: thanks for your time already! [10:05] Louwrens: seems strange. I guess you can try reptyr or retty maybe or consult #bash about being able to reclaim input [10:05] something to do with a Windows filesystem [10:05] ask #windows [10:05] reisio: With an NTFS filesystem and Ubuntu running a disk check on it. [10:05] Gryllida: sorry for my questions, but in this case, it means when I connect to the public IP, the VPN will be taking me to the lan where my server is? [10:05] i have tmpfs enabled on this box ... can i view the contents of tmpfs & copy files from & to tmpfs with nautilus ? df -h shows 1.6G available & 976K used [10:05] reisio: Ubuntu does support NTFS. It's not technically outside this channel scope. ;) [10:05] Louwrens: also, if it's crucial that lvresize completes without you killing it, I would just leave it be [10:05] Gryllida: no, he's running it, not Ubuntu [10:05] reisio: Um, I will need help deciphering what it says. Do you want me to post the results? [10:05] reisio: Ah. [10:05] Gryllida: never said it was [10:06] owahi: sure [10:06] I am very new to vpn that is why [10:06] reisio: I'm not sure. Isn't that an Ubuntu screenshot? [10:06] Gryllida: of gparted run by a user, yes [10:06] jrib: okay, I was going to do that. I am not going to try and see what happens if i close ssh or hit ctrl-c. [10:06] reisio, what do yo mean?? [10:06] wasanzy: With VPN, you don't need to use public IPs. Use local IPs within the range you VPNed. [10:06] jrib: I just dont want to depend on the ssh line now... [10:07] rudolf__: about what? [10:07] reisio, "Gryllida: no, he's running it, not Ubuntu" [10:07] reisio: So where is he running Windows? He just has an ntfs partition, which Ubuntu complains about. I'd say asking what the nature of the complaint is could be fine. [10:07] rudolf__: I mean you ran it personally [10:07] Gryllida: I wouldn't disagree [10:07] and haven't [10:07] :D [10:08] Hello [10:08] rudolf__: OK, let's see what «ntfsfix /dev/sda8» says. If someone else here knows a better way to run a disk check on an ntfs partition, this could be cool; I have no personal experience with the subject. [10:08] uhty: Hello. [10:09] Hi,:) (new) [10:09] so why do I have to add this in my client.conf? remote remoteIP 1194 [10:09] rudolf__: Might want to run it with «-n» switch (so it only reports, but doesn't fix anything.) [10:09] Gryllida, rudolf@rudolf-VPCEH25EN:~$ ntfsfix /dev/sda8 [10:09] Mounting volume... Error opening '/dev/sda8': Permission denied [10:09] FAILED [10:09] Attempting to correct errors... Error opening '/dev/sda8': Permission denied [10:09] FAILED [10:09] Failed to startup volume: Permission denied [10:09] rudolf__: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [10:09] uhty: Welcome. What's up? [10:09] rudolf__: Run it with sudo. [10:09] rudolf__: and use a pastebin [10:10] yeah, sorry [10:10] rudolf__: «sudo ntfsfix -n /dev/sda8». [10:10] Ben64: I'd assume there are GUI tools for that? [10:10] for pastebinning? [10:10] Ben64: No, for disk checks. [10:11] well, for ntfs you really should use windows [10:11] Gryllida: the better way is in Windows [10:11] Gryllida: so why do I have to add this in my client.conf? remote remoteIP 1194 [10:11] Ben64: :p [10:11] rudolf__: Do you have a er, Windows install available that you can boot into? [10:11] hey guys [10:11] wasanzy: No idea, I don't think 1194 even looks like an IP... [10:12] Gryllida, Mounting volume... OK..Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully. [10:12] Checking the alternate boot sector... OKNTFS volume version is 3.1.NTFS partition /dev/sda8 was processed successfully. [10:12] Gryllida, yes I have [10:12] rudolf__: Is that all output that you get? [10:13] Gryllida: no 1194 is the VPN port and that is to come after a public IP [10:13] Gryllida, yeah it gave only that much. [10:13] what ubuntu distros are suported here [10:13] rudolf__: Might want to ask ##linux or, if you are willing to boot into Windows to run a disk check there, ##windows. [10:13] Campfire: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (server), 12.04 LTS, 12.10 and 13.04. [10:14] okies...gonna reboot [10:14] ty gr y [10:14] wasanzy: Yes, VPN client has to know the server's public IP. Once things work, there is no need to use that IP; you just use the 'local' IPs. [10:14] #ubuntu-offtopic [10:15] whats the difference of the server [10:15] Campfire: Server edition has no GUI and is built to run on servers (a set of preinstalled apps useful for servers rather than desktop users). [10:15] i mean what can the 10.4 do === stevanr_ is now known as stevanr [10:15] ty again [10:16] Campfire: Server editions are supported a bit longer, so you see 10.04 server support, but not desktop support. [10:16] Gryllida: but in this case, am trying to connect to the vpn server remotely, meaning the client is not in the same network as the VPN server, so how will it work with only local IP? [10:16] Campfire: they don't have a desltop UI either [10:16] so like remote stuff for servers === Motoservo_ is now known as Motoservo [10:17] wasanzy: You need to use public IP to tell the client what server to connect to. [10:17] wasanzy: Once the VPN is up, it it like a second LAN you're in; you needn't use public IPs to access it. [10:18] ok [10:18] I run this openvpn --config /etc/openvpn/client.conf an it seems everything is ok [10:19] so now I will try to ssh to the Lan IP and see [10:20] do i need ssh if i don,t do remoting [10:21] Campfire: Maybe not. [10:21] so i can turn it off [10:22] i,m still learning term [10:23] any info about gma3650 being supported now? [10:24] whats that onix [10:24] i,m new here [10:24] oh screen res [10:25] was this a netspit [10:25] Campfire: No just normal changing users [10:25] i,m bored can we create a channal to talk about anything [10:26] Gryllida, yeah everything is fone now. I ran chkdsk/f from windows. [10:26] !alis | Campfire You can search for channels that have topics you want to discuss using the alis bot, [10:26] Campfire You can search for channels that have topics you want to discuss using the alis bot,: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* [10:26] rudolf_: Ok, nice. Presumably Ubuntu/GParted doesn't complain now? [10:26] I'd like to change my desktop theme. I'm using 13.04. Is it GTK or Gnome? I know nothing about this atm [10:26] Campfire: Yes, ssh should be safe to turn off. [10:27] ok how do i do in term [10:27] well the command [10:27] Gryllida, yeah no complains now. :) [10:27] ArneLurk: Gnome is a desktop environment built using GTK toolkit. See Appearance preferences for builtin themes, or www.gnome-look.org for more. [10:27] i,ll google it [10:28] my bad [10:28] Will do, Gryllida !

[10:28] i need to know all services running [10:28] MonkeyDust: Thanks. That's quite more links than the one I had. :) [10:28] hi guys is this the ubuntu chat? [10:28] then [10:29] lroy: Yes. [10:29] I found a workbench 1.2 theme there already, but I migfht want to tweak it or make my own from scratch. Alsom icon sets [10:29] sweet [10:29] lsof [10:29] ive been having trouble with this graphics card [10:29] Campfire: «sudo service --status-all» or a GUI tool, if Gnome has one. [10:29] Gryllida, I think the partition was mounted and the laptop wasnt properly shutdown. [10:29] it displays fine in 800x600 resolutions [10:29] rudolf_: That could be it. [10:29] i can boot my bios with it [10:29] ty [10:29] i can run ubuntu live [10:29] and boot into my system [10:29] but then when i install drivers for the card [10:29] lroy, nope it's not the ubuntu chat... :P [10:30] it wants to go into an HD resolution on the next startup and hangs at a purple ubuntu loading screen [10:30] and i have tried going into the GNU boot screen and changing the settings to nomodeset [10:30] and still nothing [10:30] @sp3ck [10:30] ? [10:31] lroy, " hi guys is this the ubuntu chat?" [10:31] lol isnt it? [10:32] sp3ck support, not chat [10:32] well i need support [10:32] lol [10:32] lroy, anywayz rofl [10:32] why does my graphics card hang on startup [10:32] sp3ck wrong person, sorry ;) [10:32] lroy, I'm messing with u mate! [10:32] its so weird that it works in lower resolutions [10:32] haha i know [10:32] its all good man [10:33] has anyone seen anything like this? [10:35] is there something else i can try in the GNU menu on startup? [10:35] lroy: to do what? [10:35] idk to get into my system [10:36] lroy start from the beginning, what goes wrong [10:36] the graphics card "works", i can boot into my bios, I can run ubuntu live, and i can run the installed ubuntu, but then when i install the driver my system refuses to finish booting, and it just hangs on the purple ubuntu startup screen [10:37] it basically works in all 800x600 resolutions [10:37] and i have tried going into the GNU startup screen pressed "e" and changed the startup settings to nomodeset [10:37] and still nothing [10:38] any ideas? [10:39] lroy: How do you "install the driver"? [10:39] i download the latest AMD catalyst driver [10:39] and install it via the command line [10:39] i have a few computers [10:39] lroy: Doesn't Ubuntu work out of the box? [10:39] and its just this one card thats giving me trouble [10:40] it does [10:40] but i need the drivers [10:40] !latest [10:40] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [10:40] lroy: Why do you need the drivers? [10:40] so the machine can interact with the graphics card [10:40] and i know its supposed to work [10:41] i have done it with my other computers [10:41] its just this one graphics card doesnt wana go into an [10:41] HD resolution or something === contrapunctus-i is now known as contrapunctus [10:42] Doesn't Ubuntu already work out of the box enough to interact with the graphics card? [10:42] like it does [10:42] lroy, if ubuntu worked why did you installed the drivers? [10:42] but then i can only see it with "lspci" [10:42] like how do i display in HD and control the fans and overclock etc [10:42] i need the AMD drivers for that [10:42] Ok. Now I see the problem (somewhat). [10:42] lroy need or want? [10:43] need [10:43] they are bitcoin mining rigs [10:44] looks like myunity might be in the universe repos? [10:44] whats ? mean in service i got - + and ? [10:45] ArneLurk better use unity-tweak-tool, it's myunity 'the next generation' [10:45] Thanks, I [10:46] Ok. I also got Gnome tweak tool [10:47] ArneLurk and there's also ubuntu-tweak (not in the repos) [10:47] hi [10:47] I got a gtk+ theme in a tar.gz... should I place it anywhere in particular? [10:48] ArneLurk in ~/.themes [10:48] unpacked or still tar.gz ? [10:48] not sure [10:49] * benuphoenix is running xubuntu off of an old 8gb class-6 sdhc card. for some reason, he thinks that is cool. [10:49] @monkeydust is there someway for me to boot into like a low-res safe mode? [10:50] oh...this is a support channel...oops...sorry for chatting [10:50] lroy there rescue-mode or something... press ESC during boot to get the grub menu [10:50] ArneLurk: Tried feeding the .tar.gz to the theme manager? [10:51] are there any other graphics modes/ settings i can try before startup? [10:51] Anyone - can tell Campfire what the modern Gnome3 servive manager tools are? [10:51] not yet... I'm still navigating my file structure and unhiding files [10:51] ty i,m learning term on it [10:52] taking notes i should know this [10:54] I'm finding a lot of themes folders using search, but the detailed view won't tell me where they are located [10:55] ArneLurk: Try feeding it to theme manager first. [10:56] ArneLurk: It's "~/.themes". [10:58] can I get stabilize option in kdenlive [10:58] without trying to install newer repo versions from sunab? [10:59] I have ubuntu 12.04 and here is kdenlive 0.8.2.1 [10:59] Ubuntu 13.04 kernel panicks while disconnecting bluetooth DUN [10:59] Any idea why? === Will_ is now known as Guest92410 [11:00] whats DUN? [11:00] Dial Up Networking [11:01] How can I tell KDE to open .foo files with the program called foo and .bar files with the program called bar? Both are plain text files. [11:01] jdoles: likely by right-clicking on them in dolphin [11:01] I have Galaxy S 1, and I can share internet trought bluetooth with 12.04 [11:01] but there is no reason to, cause I have cable [11:01] With 12.04 and 12.10 it is fine. [11:01] I can acceess internet. [11:02] someone is american here? [11:02] don't use 13.04 then [11:02] But problem arises when disconnecting the DUN connection. [11:02] or ubuntu-bug this problem [11:02] All of a sudden kernel panics. [11:02] h34d3r: There probably are, if you have an ubuntu support question, just ask it in the channel [11:02] I am from Latvia, someone uses kdenlive to stabilise video? [11:02] I've searched a little and I guess its a kernel bug. [11:03] reisio, that doesn't work, try it. [11:03] Just needed to know if there is any workaround of some sort. [11:03] I have 0.8.2.1 version of kdenlive, where there is no button stabilise yet [11:03] someone uses kdenlive from repos of kdenlive page or no [11:03] ? [11:03] jdoles: how doesn't it work? [11:06] I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 and I noticed there is no xterm-256color file in /usr/share/terminfo/x/, but there is a xterm+256color one which does not work. Did I miss installing something? [11:07] what does this file give you Mattias2 [11:07] ? [11:08] Gryllida, > oh, the ~ means home directory. I have no .themes there so I'll make a foder [11:09] Gryllida: I am not able to connect to the VPN [11:09] ArneLurk: its a handy shortcut, so is $HOME and /home/$USER [11:09] ArneLurk: same difference [11:09] ss_haze: you mean the contents of xterm+x256color? [11:10] I wan to get something right, in the server.conf, the IP used was something like 10.x.x.x so is that the IP I should be connecting to instead of the server's local IP? [11:10] I mean what did you installed when you missed file I don't know anything about and so on === m_bEnableHandSwi is now known as Thomas_P_Smith [11:10] looks lioke I need to use the ubuntu tweak tool, not the unity tweak tool [11:11] ss_haze: I just want to enable $TERM to xterm-256color, but since the file does not exist I can't do that.. this file should be there from the beginning, I don't understand how it can be gone [11:11] anybody knows how to make ssh server on other pc [11:12] it's for terminal programm? [11:12] it's gone cause you or ghosts deleted it [11:14] ss_haze: sudo apt-get install openssh-server [11:14] it will give gui also? [11:15] no [11:15] :< [11:15] for gui, use software center [11:16] ssh server on the same pc where apache is on is safe I guess [11:16] Hey all [11:17] Hi all, how can I full screen a window accross multiple desktops/monitors in unity? === mydogsnameisrudy is now known as monkeyjuice [11:18] ss_haze, if you want an ssh gui for windows to communicate to your ssh server then I'd suggest winscp [11:18] what makes you guess I have windows [11:18] I don't even dualboot [11:18] but tnx [11:18] k [11:19] you can also use sshfs and use nautilus to connect [11:19] for file transfers [11:23] Hello in my server.conf of the openvpn configuration, I have this server 10.8.0.0 255.255.255.0 so am I supposed to connect to the 10.8.0.1 from the client?

[11:55] wasanzy: show me your network config [11:55] nightcrow: a bash command, to set a variable which is used to identify the proxy to use for ftp [11:56] nightcrow: this is what I have in the conf: server 192.168.1.100 255.255.255.0 [11:56] Mattias_: Have you tried quoting it? [11:56] Edijus: then you will need to manually remaster the ISO, make the changes then receate the new ISO file [11:56] Mattias_: vim ./-1 [11:56] bgardner: using "" gives me the same thing, all commands thinks it is a flag [11:56] ActionParsnip: Any tutorial how to do so? [11:56] metaphysician: testing :) [11:56] Edijus: millions [11:56] metaphysician: that works! [11:57] Thanks [11:57] any idea? nightcrow [11:57] ActionParsnip: i want to set up a proxy - basically, I have a server that can connect to an FTP server and then another server located remotely (in another subnet) that I want to be able to also connect to the server. so basically A > connects to > FTP. B > connects to > A. I want B > to connect to FTP via A. [11:58] wasanzy: looks fine to me buddy [11:58] show me your error again [11:58] ActionParsnip: Could you provide me some URL, please?

[12:00] so, when I connect to non-encrypted wifi networks [12:00] could someone tell me whats wrong with this if statement? if [[ "$i" == "DSC_0076.jpg" || "$i" == "DSC_0078.jpg"]] then echo "Find" fi? if i use this if statement inside my script it says syntaxerror unexpected word then' [12:00] everythin' is fine [12:00] KevDi, please hold on. [12:00] so [12:00] dajesius: can i help you? [12:00] dajesius: try hitting ENTER less, it scrolls he channel less and is easier to follow [12:00] it works with non-encrypted [12:00] alright, actionparsnip. i'll follow your path to glory [12:00] so [12:01] nightcrow: have you seen it? [12:01] dajesius: what wifi chip do you use? [12:01] dajesius: don't tell people to hold on either, they have just as much of a right to ask questions as you [12:01] ActionParsnip: does squid run on server A or server B? [12:01] Options error: --server directive network/netmask combination is invalid [12:01] wasanzy: im not sure, your IP/netmask look find [12:01] fine [12:01] nightcrow: wherever you want, you can configure quid to allow connections from external systems if you want [12:02] nightcrow & ActionParsnip & wasanzy & Ben64: I use Ubuntu and WICD, when I try to connect to non-encrypted wifi networks, it works, and when I try to connect to WPA1/WPA2 encrypted networks, it works too, but when I try to connect to WEP-wifi servers, it gives me "error obtaining ip" [12:02] nightcrow: can make the web faster due to caching :) [12:02] dajesius: which wifi chip are you using? [12:02] ActionParsnip, how can I check that? any command to know what wifi chip I use? [12:02] dajesius: sudo lshw -C network will tell you [12:03] ActionParsnip: but Im not sure how to use it as a proxy [12:03] nightcrow: guides online will tell you, there is also #squid [12:03] nightcrow: nobody is born knowing..... [12:03] true :) [12:03] the internet isn't secure.

[12:10] any ideas? [12:10] dajesius: your install isn't supported here [12:10] also, this is a dhcp problem.

[12:41] dajesius, why so? It is a download utility. [12:41] rudolf_, the world, is like a box of chocolates, and aria2 is like a piece of chicken, so. [12:41] and chicken isn't healthy, aria2. [12:41] nightcrow, is wget too command line initiated? [12:41] it's bad for you. [12:42] dajesius, I am not aria2 :| [12:42] nightcrow; ssh-tunnelling all the way, only newbies use sock-proxies.

Any suggestions, how I can make the Ubuntu 12.04 (is 13.04 worthier for this task?) appear more like windows? [12:53] help me please! My stardict always quit automaticly when I scan or input anyword.

Do I need to download the complete iso and reinstall everything? [12:55] rschmitty: it took my mum roughly 10 seconds to get used to Unity [12:55] ghking, this is a debian install? [12:56] bazhang, you use aria2c right? Can you help me with setting the options? [12:56] good point, unity is probably better for older folks, nice big icons no "start menu" [12:57] rudolf_, never used it, no [12:57] rudolf_, best practice is to download the iso, make a usb and clean install that puppy. IMO. Then again, I only install LTS so go figure. [12:57] bazhang, nut you suggested it...so i thought. :| [12:58] acerimmer, I think you mean rschmitty [12:58] rudolf_ oh and "download" means torrent. md5sum check is assumed. [12:58] bazhang, eeks. too late. [12:58] acrimmer, so that means with every new version we need to reinstall all the softwares? [12:58] rschmitty: correct [12:59] ghking, Please do Not crosspost your debian questions here, thats for #debian alone [12:59] bazhang: Thanks [12:59] rudolf_, LTS is supported for 3 years on the desktop. non-lts are not. reinstalling every 2 - 3 years seems reasonable to me ... [12:59] I need a jre for Apache Directory Studio. What's the recommended one for ubuntu? [13:00] !java | mjuszczak [13:00] mjuszczak: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [13:01] which one does apache directory studio demand mjuszczak ; see the links above [13:01] , oh, sorry! but I think ubuntu is not much different form debian. [13:01] perfect [13:01] thank you [13:01] :| [13:02] acerimmer, where would i find a group online that can take me into a group project where I can learn about software development with someone? [13:02] acerimmer, like a linux channel... [13:02] pianogmx, ##linux ? [13:03] pianogmx, why not join #ubuntu-bugs , #ubuntu-packaging , #ubuntu-meeting , and #ubuntu-devel and silently watch what happens there [13:03] bazhang, excellent suggestion [13:03] acerimmer, what is the difference between LTS and UBUNTU desktop? [13:03] LTS stands for long term support [13:03] rudolf_, one has five years support the most recent only NINE months [13:03] rudolf_, LTS = five years [13:03] rudolf_: LTS is a name of version, the bit which says the Ubuntu version is supported for a long time. UBUNTU is the operating system name. [13:04] rudolf_, LTS is ubuntu. Long Term Support. on desktop versions, LTS is 3 years ... except 12.04 which has 5 years. On server, LTS is supported for 5 years. [13:04] But why is new ubuntu desktop released every 6 months and LTS every 2 years? [13:05] rudolf_, in my case, I use Ubuntu Studio. Latest version 12.04 and supported until 17.04. Next LTS version will be 14.04. === BradCrittenden is now known as bac [13:05] rudolf_, thats beyond the knowledge or scope of this channel, (the new shorter nine month support cycle) [13:05] rudolf_, consider the non-LTS to be bleeding edge test version ... [13:06] ok...means non-LTS versions are continuously tested and when they are stable enough they get converted into LTS? [13:06] Thats why new LTS version takes 2 years? [13:07] Am i right acerimmer ? [13:07] rudolf_, formulating my response ... [13:07] Just telling you what I understood from your response. :) [13:08] ok thanks :) [13:09] rudolf_, non-LTS do not "convert" to LTS. LTS is arguably subject to a more rigorous testing cycle and does not include all the latest shiny stuff that the interim releases have. On the other hand, for a production environment, 3 - 5 years of support is quite attractive. [13:09] gotta go. coffee shop is closed. [13:09] hmm...got it [13:14] So I have a headless home server with FDE, and I want to be able to reboot it remotely, without having to find a keyboard and type in the passphrase. === Guest55169 is now known as resure [13:14] Moonlightning: doesn't that kind of negate the usefulness of FDE? [13:15] Seems to me that it shouldn't, if it's done right. [13:16] hey guys. just installed XBMCbuntu onto an old DELL inspiron 1525 (core 2 duo, intel GMA graphics). resolution 1280x800 (on the laptop's display), but when i switch to 1920x1080, the TV only shows 1/4 of it [13:16] Moonlightning: if you add the shutdown command in sudoers to not need password, you can then run: ssh username@server "sudo shutdown -r now" === mmrazik is now known as mmrazik|afk [13:17] in my case, the laptop only shows the bottom left of the 1920x1080, and the TV mirrors this (but on the top right of itself) [13:18] Can applications access internet too if run on wine? [13:18] the encryption passphrase * [13:18] rudolf_: yes [13:19] quick question here - do user space device drivers override the default behavior of a given device? Or do they run in parallel? [13:21] Hey why is package 'acpi-support' not installed with ubuntu server but is with ubuntu and xubuntu - is it more of a desktop thing? [13:22] I thought acpi was just "pc's" - not specific to just non-servers [13:22] hi all [13:22] stevenm: acpi-support is oriented around suspend/resume/hibernate, lid closure, etc. Things that servers don't want to be doing. [13:23] !info acpi-support [13:23] bgamari, i thought it also did shutdown? [13:23] acpi-support (source: acpi-support): scripts for handling many ACPI events. In component main, is optional. Version 0.141 (raring), package size 21 kB, installed size 135 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; ia64; lpia) [13:23] stevenm: you could report a bug if you suspect one [13:23] is there a glibc-static lib on ubuntu? [13:23] bgardner, i guess what i'm asking is - if i have a physical server without 'acpi-support' installed... if i push the power button once - will it begin to shut down? === jpierre is now known as YBM_EdB [13:25] stevenm: I don't know. If I were you, I would test that in a controlled environment with an idle server. [13:34] what twitter client is working under ubuntu ? [13:34] 'Friends', although it's quite bad [13:34] firefox :-) [13:34] aguitel: polly [13:34] ActionParsnip, thanks [13:36] aguitel: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:conscioususer/polly-daily; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install polly [13:36] ActionParsnip, ok === szx` is now known as szx [13:40] aguitel: Friends works for me [13:41] ActionParsnip: Is polly working for you? I'm using the same ppa but it refuses to connect for me, keeps giving a 410 error === mmrazik|afk is now known as mmrazik [13:42] ActionParsnip: Never mind on that, its just connected for the first time in a week [13:42] Hi, I use Ubuntu 13.10, today I made an upgrade after something like 3 weeks (or mabye more) of no-upgrade period. After reboot I noticed that my network interface names are no longer renamed according to /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. Anybody knows what can be the problem here? [13:43] Orion78, best to ask in #ubuntu+1 [13:43] Orion78: Support for 13.10 is currently in #ubuntu+1 until the final release === BradCrittenden is now known as bac [13:44] BluesKaj, DJones: Thank you! [13:47] DJones, how instal it ? [13:54] how could i find who provides a package? [13:54] rschmitty: !find {app} [13:54] rschmitty: or do you mean, who maintanis it? [13:55] ya, maintainer so i can see if they have bug tracking or such [13:55] !find unattended-upgrades [13:55] Found: unattended-upgrades [13:55] rschmitty: http://packages.ubuntu.com/ [13:55] !bugs [13:55] If you find a bug in Ubuntu or any of its derivatives, please file a bug using the command « ubuntu-bug » - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ReportingBugs for other ways to report bugs.

[14:14] I just made a bluetooth connection to my system and i dont know how i can monitor it from my system terminal [14:15] hciconfig ? [14:17] I'm trying to use boot repair to fix a VirtualBox image. I've run boot repair and have the system info. A basic repair didn't work because it said I needed to enable the apt repository that contains grub2. The problem is that the universe repositories are enabled. Not sure what to do. [14:17] hey there. Anyone who has a system76 laptop? Any good/bad experiences? [14:17] spidernik84 ask in #ubuntu-offtopic [14:18] Mage_Dude: you can chroot from liveCD, probably easir [14:18] MonkeyDust, thanks. Wasn't aware it existed. Good to know! [14:19] ActionParsnip: I've gotten to a terminal from the livecd, but it keeps wanting to repartition everything and wipe the data. [14:21] Mage_Dude: not if you chroot [14:23] ActionParsnip: Which would be the 'rescue a broken system' option right? [14:23] Mage_Dude: omgubuntu has a great how o called: sticking it to grub [14:23] Mage_Dude: no, it's not an 'option' its a series of commands, your terminal will then be acting on the installed OS [14:24] Mage_Dude: and you can run all sorts of commands and manipulate grub and so forth [14:25] hey are any of you guys interested in open GL games? I want to learn but I'm in need of some advise. [14:26] ActionParsnip: Those require the desktop version of the livecd don't they? [14:27] Mage_Dude: not specifically, you can do it in another TTY on the server install CD [14:38] could anyone help me with a small problem : im trying to find the file path to gringotss if i apt-get installed it [14:39] so i can edit the config file??? [14:39] or patch it i should say [14:40] #jin [14:40] #join jin [14:40] join jin === Patricia is now known as Guest10483 [14:46] Can anyone help me? [14:46] MathCubes: You need to ask your question first [14:46] I need to get viedos divers for my laptop. [14:46] http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/Product/inspiron-17r-n7110 [14:46] here I need the Linux Versions [14:47] I got the intel one on here [14:48] @DJones Can you help me with that? [14:49] MathCubes: Is X currently running? [14:49] yes [14:49] Pastebin your current /var/log/Xorg.0.log file. [14:49] humm. [14:50] what with /var/log/Xorg.0.log [14:50] Install pastebinit and run 'pastebinit /var/log/Xorg.0.log' [14:51] MathCube do you know which video chipset is in your laptop? Dell have 6 listed [14:51] humm [14:51] Which is why I'm asking for the Xorg log file. [14:51] Intel® Sandybridge Mobile [14:51] Its either going to be nVidia or intel. If its nVidia they usually have drivers on their website [14:51] Intel® Core™ i5-2430M CPU @ 2.40GHz × 4 [14:51] I'd like to see what GPU is involved (or GPUs) and what problem you're trying to fix here. [14:52] If have a drive mounted that contains the grub files, can I just install grub onto that? [14:52] No [14:52] Crappy. [14:53] I install grub to the MBR of the same drive with grub files [14:53] Yes I have a 32 gb sd card but It have all of my stuff on it. [14:54] hello [14:54] hey === cristian_c is now known as nessuno [14:54] JoeDM: It's a server install so AFAIK there's a separate sda partition that contains the grub files [14:54] sorry I'm on Windows 95 [14:54] I cannot figure out how to compress an archive. tar -czfv filename.tar.gz directory/ gives a "Cannot stat: No such file or directory". What gives? [14:55] crystal77: try using the absolute path of the folder to compress [14:55] HERE: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5780703/ [14:55] crystal77, you're not on a read-only filesystem are you? [14:55] !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! [14:56] Nope, same thing. "tar: wp-content.tar.gz: Cannot stat: No such file or directory tar: Removing leading `/' from member names tar: Exiting with failure status due to previous errors" [14:56] crystal77: shouldn't the f switch go at the end? [14:56] MathCubes: So what makes you think you need to install any extra drivers? [14:56] MathCubes: You are correctly using the open source intel driver... [14:56] More are listed [14:56] tar -czvf filename.tar.gz dirs [14:56] Woah, what? If I do "tar -cvzf wp-content.tar.gz" instead, it works. I guess the order of flags matter? [14:56] Switch f requires a file name [14:56] MathCubes: there is no need to install a driver for the intel ones. intel works with the community to put the drivers into the kernel [14:57] Ahh, so f has to go last. It thinks v is the filename, that's why a file called "v" keeps being created... [14:57] @adamk_ and when I run a game at first i got 100 - 130 fps then it drop to 1 - 5. ON windows it stay at 100 - 120 Fps that Why. [14:57] MathCubes: grab the logs from that game /systemlog what causes the drop [14:58] It is all games [14:58] MathCubes: and most steam games require a seperate video card like amd or nvidia [14:58] that is med-high graftics [14:59] I mounted the wrong partition sda instead of something else, umount didn't remove it. Is there a particular flag that needs to be added to remove it? [14:59] I have Intel and With windows i get 100 - 120 fps for hours with Linux it is only for 3 min and it drop to 3 - 1 fps. [15:00] MathCubes try installing sudo apt-get install mesa-utils [15:00] saiarcot895: Thanks man! :) [15:00] I did [15:00] crystal77: you're welcome [15:01] MathCubes: repeating that will not help your problem. get the logs to show what causes the drop [15:01] I try this http://goof848.wordpress.com/2011/12/20/how-to-setup-ubuntu-11-10-on-a-inspiron-17r-n7110/ [15:01] you can try installing the drivers from intel [15:01] https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=13815&lang=eng [15:01] but that only made my system to go to Low Grifics mode [15:02] k1l_ he did https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=13815&lang=eng [15:02] MathCubes: Then you didn't install them properly. [15:02] yes [15:02] sorry he posted here http://paste.ubuntu.com/5780703/ [15:02] I find it very doubtful that newer drivers from intel are going to help. [15:02] well, than he should ask intel what is wrong with their driver [15:02] and one of them have a bad ppa [15:03] I did get the intel diver installed [15:03] How do I get the logs for the games? [15:04] I play xonotic and red ecipes [15:04] Mage_Dude you can't unmount a partition that is in use [15:04] there is a way to kill everything though [15:04] MathCubes: did you by any chance ad the xorg edgers ppa like steam seems to think is a good idea? [15:04] JoeDM: I think I've done enough to kill everything. Trying to not kill it more [15:05] ActionPArsnip I don't know what you are talking about!!!!?! === nessuno is now known as cristian_c [15:05] How do I add them? [15:05] MathCubes: when the steam app runs it mentions xorg edgers to get bleeding edge (unstable drivers and Xorg), did you install these? [15:06] No [15:07] Hello, I'm having problem with GRUB .. during boot it only displays "GRUB loading. _ " [15:07] MathCubes: good [15:07] that's all [15:07] can anybody help me pleae [15:07] which package provides full set of libc headers on ubuntu === zomnbio is now known as zomnbio_mobile [15:09] IS ANYONE HELPING ME? [15:09] n00b1: I'm no expert on grub, but you might have to start Ubuntu on a Live CD/USB and fix the GRUB data/bootloader using Boot Repair [15:09] Mage_Dude have you tried "fuser -km /mnt/share" followed by the unmount. This should stop every process accessing the drive [15:10] i have problem, dunno how to change drive to my memory stic [15:10] how to do that [15:10] I have done that [15:10] JoeDM: Well, that might not even matter anymore. In looking at fdisk, my main partition...doesn't have a partition table!? [15:10] I installed ubuntu on usb and plugged it in and reboot [15:11] still the same [15:12] n00b1 what did you install GRUB to? [15:12] ? [15:13] MathCubes: I recommend trying another 3D game that isn't as hard on the GPU and see if the problem persists. Something like neverball. [15:13] can you try inserting the ubuntu CD then at the menu select "Boot from first hard drive" This should boot a grub for you at which point you should be able to boot the system and check grub config. [15:13] It work just fine under windows. [15:13] I am receiving a report from a user that they are unable to disable DHCP, he says " As soon as I change the setting from DHCP to manual, the button at the bottom of the window that says "Save" greys out and can not be selected." [15:13] if not then Rescue Mode [15:13] And I want to play with my friends [15:13] Does anyone know what might be common cause of this? [15:14] MathCubes: This is not windows, so the fact that it works there is completely irrelevent. [15:14] Hello [15:14] Jikag he needs to put in a valid static setting to save the configuration [15:14] MathCubes: Again, try a simpler game just to see what happens./ [15:14] Does anybody knows how to configur Coova Chilli? [15:14] JoeDM: Thanks [15:14] I know but you are sying it is the cpu but... if it was then why does windows run it just fine? [15:15] I will try neverball one [15:15] Hmm...? [15:15] you can disable the interface by modifying the /etc/network/interface file. add a "#" before the word "auto ethX" [15:15] MathCubes: I said nothing about your CPU. [15:15] gpu [15:15] And, in case you hadn't noticed, Windows uses a different graphics system than Linux, and therefore uses different drivers. [15:16] then you need to restart networking by either "service networking restart" or "/etc/init.d/networking restart" [15:16] in terminal how to change drive to my memory stick' [15:16] or just ifupethX [15:16] Adrian179 try ##networking [15:16] Join ##networking [15:17] Question, How do you address a message to a user in this forum [15:17] if anyone's interested in 20gb cloud storage: https://copy.com?r=MoOiFE [15:18] Hi [15:18] Hi GiBy [15:18] JoeDM: doesn't disable it, it just isnt brought up at boot time :) [15:19] JoeDM: This isn't a forum, it's IRC :-) You type the person's nick, followed by a colon or comma usually, and then say what you want... If you want to send a message that only that user can see, you use the /msg command. You really should not do that without asking the user first. There are lots of good tutorials on using IRC on the internet. [15:19] adamk_: thanks [15:20] ActionParsnip' Good enough :) [15:22] Same but It took longerwith neverball and it wasn't as bad [15:22] I never use ubuntu (I tried, but never satisfy) .... Actually whille on IRC talking about translation somewhere else... someone took a po file as template... It was a very old one of a project I translated years ago... he told me he has got it on ubuntu... Could you please update the game supertux? [15:22] IS ANYONR HELPING ME? [15:23] on the topic of IRC is there a way to disable notifications for everyone joining and leaving... my screen is too cluttered to read anything [15:23] :( [15:23] JoeDM: Which irc client are you using [15:24] MathCubes: Sorry I have always disliked graphics drivers. Not sure what you should do. I use shell for everything [15:24] MathCubes: If you yell, no one is likely to help you. [15:24] I am using openbox and to play games too [15:24] DJones: web based one that was linked on ubuntu homepage [15:25] MathCubes: What was the exact problem, I came in half way. [15:25] Okay JoeDm, When I plays Game in 3 mins. in the drop to 3-1 fps from 100-200 fps.

Sounds like the drivers are okay if the game can start. I dunno where to troubleshoot from there. [15:28] I'm trying to use parted to recover several lost partitions. I said to start at 0 and it's recovered one partition but how do I say go on to find the others? [15:28] But What diver Do I need? I have my intel viedo diver [15:28] DJones: Thanks, I looked there twice before but am obviously blind. Much more clear now. [15:28] http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/Product/inspiron-17r-n7110 [15:28] MathCubes: You are using the correct driver for your GPU. [15:29] MathCubes: In my experiance ubuntu default drivers should be fine for intel [15:29] Do not download/install anything from Dell. [15:29] MathCubes: If you absolutely want to try a newer driver, grab the one directly from Intel and hope for the best. [15:29] Humm Did not install one for the GPU [15:29] I did [15:30] And if the problem persisted, then report it as a bug. [15:30] MathCubes: Is it lagging 1-3 mins into the game because that is when you get into action? the graphics chip you are using are only the ones built into the CPU and are not very powerful. [15:30] JoeDM but the games just work fine under windows it most be diver === enje is now known as Enje [15:31] MathCubes: are the games native to linux. e.g. not running on WINE? [15:31] Native to Linux I don't use Wine [15:32] hi all, anybody know how not to drop ACL after calling chmod() ? [15:32] What GPU Do I have? [15:33] MathCubes: Looks like just the CPU which includes an Intel Graphics card [15:33] MathCubes:God knows!!!! [15:33] http://www.dell.com/support/drivers/us/en/04/Product/inspiron-17r-n7110 [15:33] :) [15:34] But what command can I do in the terminal so I can know what one I have? [15:34] MathCubes: Driver for Intel Integrated Graphics Chipsets: i810 [15:34] MathCubes: sudo lshw -C display [15:34] or can anyone recommend good IRC with Linux developers [15:34] is there a apt-get command where it uninstalls but then installs the target package? [15:34] lshkn: #c++ [15:34] Why am I getting a "different" LC_ALL (and it modifies all my locales) if I'm setting LANG on etc/default (to the same locale, different encoding, latin1), and I don't see LC_ALL being set anywhere in /etc ? [15:34] like a quick remove and then a quick install right after? === marlinc|away is now known as marlinc [15:35] Is this What I am looking for http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man4/intel.4.html? [15:35] ActionParsnip: tnx [15:35] Ari-Yang: I use Synaptic for that [15:36] what about in terminal?

[15:41] 13.04 [15:41] MathCubes: its in a default install [15:41] okay [15:41] MathCubes: you could try making an xorg.conf file to specify better settings [15:42] How Do i do that? [15:42] MathCubes: with blood, sweat and tears. Its not a simple file to make, there are lots of guides around the web# [15:42] I'm trying to use parted to recover a partition. I know the slice was right at the end of the disk but I don't know it's beginning. How can I recover it? [15:42] MathCubes: its very documented [15:42] ActionParsnip: At least we're over the modelines era. Mostly === Guest56859 is now known as ponbiki [15:43] Lars_G: oh man, that is my vietnam [15:43] Can you do it for me? :) :) :P [15:43] MathCubes: I can give you one I use on my nvidia gpu, you will need to switch the resolutions and so forth, then see what exta options the intel driver will take [15:44] okay [15:44] link please [15:44] MathCubes: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5780815 [15:44] ActionParsnip: Don't. He'll blame you for any troubles. And doign so without an "Xorg -configure" starting point will be tedious [15:45] MathCubes: gksudo gedit /etc/X11/xorg.conf to get write access, you may need t drop to root recovery mode to rename the file to get back the desktop [15:45] oaky [15:45] Lars_G: mine's pretty stock really [15:46] Well I'll give up [15:46] I'll stick LC_ALL into /etc/environment and be done [15:46] SO I can't fix my issure :( [15:47] how do I make a newly installed window manager my default?

[15:48] well no ones is talling me how to fix it [15:48] Ari-Yang: Normally if you choose it from the login, it will be the default choice until you choose something else [15:48] genii, what? I thought that was selecting which desktop environment [15:48] Ari-Yang: choose that on the login screen [15:48] oh [15:48] soryr [15:48] I meant file maanger [15:49] MathCubes: That's not true... you have shared no problem as far as I've seen. You asked a question, ActionParsnip responded more than kindly and reteratively. Saddly "type every letter for me, without no information at all" is not something solvable [15:49] * manager [15:49] not window manager [15:49] Ari-Yang: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[16:02] bazhang: www.teenspot.com was the chat room I was trying to get into as well, I dont' think that requires registration [16:03] alternatively is there a way to run a comman like "scstadmin -write_config /etc/scst.conf" on reboot prior to login? [16:03] JoeDM in crontab, use @reboot [16:03] bazhang: meh nevermind, looks like registration IS required [16:03] bazhang: want me to give you a registration login I don't care about?

Why do you want to do that? [16:08] JoeDM, Oh man that sucks. Its impossible to record screencast smoothly with more than one video source on the screen at a time. [16:09] Hi guys [16:09] jrib, ^ [16:09] 2 up [16:10] robertzaccour: If you want really smooth screen recording you can get dedicated recording cards.

[17:56] and if there is a program which converts .img to .iso (which I have found) then I would assume there are at least some differences to the files [17:56] right, it's just that the difference has little to do with the extension :) [17:56] ok thank you === erry_ is now known as erry [17:57] teamcoltra_noaut: try this http://www.google.com/search?q=%22linux%22%20%22iso%20to%20dmg%22 [17:59] does anyone have an idea on how to approach the following, spamming reinstalls and googling has gotten me nowhere, adam@craptop:~$ pavucontrol >>> pavucontrol: error while loading shared libraries: libsigc-2.0.so.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory === Tzunamii_ is now known as Tzunamii === meatmanek_ is now known as meatmanek [18:00] !netsplit [18:00] 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.

[22:04] Hey, so I'm on 13.04, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to send the alt key to a program. I have to be able to alt+click, and every time I try that, it moves the window instead. [22:04] http://postimg.org/image/ojcuh1n0p/full/ - how i can fix that? [22:05] dmiller309: if it's metacity related, would that affect emerald? no I havn't changed any of those settings beside the "Command" field, as said I tried emerald and gtk-window-decorator there. [22:05] i need help with xubuntu on youtube all video are fuzzy [22:06] Guest49223*** ask on xubuntu channel please [22:06] ok thanks [22:07] foobArr Sorry, I'm not too familiar with emerald; that's all I know. If you kill compiz and just run the metacity window decorator, the problem will probably go away, but that's not what you want. [22:08] tonyt, How does Xubuntu run on a external, a bit slow? WE can't really commeant on additional OS's without details of what is there a screen shot of gparted looking at the external would be helpful. === ponbiki is now known as Guest33284 [22:09] ya it runs a little slow . i was just wanting to install unbuntu . i was just wondering will it wreck the dual boot [22:09] i guess ill try it and see what happenes [22:10] tonyt, asking if it will be wrecked without details is not very helpful, multibooting is effected by variables. [22:11] it dual boots fine now . i dont know what else to provide . xubuntu is installed now on the external . i want to install unbuntu over it [22:12] tonyt, A screen shot of the external is to much here? [22:12] tonyt: Just install the package "ubuntu-desktop" [22:12] http://postimg.org/image/ojcuh1n0p/full/ - how i can fix that? [22:12] +1 on the ubuntu-desktop [22:17] k1lled: easiest way is to boot into windows on the machine and run checkdisk from there.. it's been a while since I looked at this but I don't think there is a fsck for ntfs available in linux [22:17] k1lled: that is assuming you are dual-booting on the machine in question [22:18] i am with dual boot, yes, win 8 + ubuntu 13.04 [22:18] Hi there, I have an nvidia card, with optimus technology (newer laptop, IdeaPad Y580). It has a 3rd generation Intel GPU, and an nvidia geforce 660m GTX discrete GPU. I installed bumblebee and to my knowledge it's working. optirun glxspheres shows a good framerate, and is telling me it's using the gtx 660m. Now, I can only get the OS to boot useing "nomodeset" flag. And when in the Unity desktop, [22:18] performance is very bad. By that, I mean visual effects are "slow" and "choppy". Any help is appreciated [22:18] in windows i have no problem with this [22:19] k1lled: doesn't surprise me.. but run the disk check anyway.. it will probably find some minor thing to fix and then do a normal shutdown.. no hibernation or such [22:19] Hello, I want to upgrade bluez to 5.6 but have no idea how. I'm thinking about compiling from source but not to sure how to - is there a ppa I can add? [22:20] tskorte: this channel mostly deals with regular vanilla ubuntu... google might be your best bet when it comes to finding specialized repositories [22:20] what exacly i must check?? never before i have problem with hard [22:21] 12.04, 12.10 - no problems [22:21] 13.04 ... and [22:21] k1lled: just a regular disk check.. I've never run windows 8 but in windows 7 I would right click on a drive, select tools and run the disk scan thingy.. [22:22] Slart, yah, I've tried that with no particular luck. What if I rephrase my question: When trying to bring bluetooth dongle up (hciconfig hci0 up) I get a connection timed out error. Anyone experienced this? [22:22] :) [22:22] win8 is same. Okey i will [22:22] after this i will come back here, now restart [22:22] k1lled: ok [22:23] tskorte: bluetooth is black magic if you ask me.. I'm happy it has worked for me in the past but I have no idea how to troubleshoot it. Unless you've got some reason to believe that upgrading will fix your problem I would look elsewhere first [22:25] tskorte: as always, googling for the error message is a good first start.. running commands in a terminal (possibly with -v) is also a good thing to try.. check the logs /var/log/syslog and /var/log/kern.log might also give you good information [22:25] Slart: I hear ya! I thought I read somewhere that it was a bug in bluez in < 5.00 but now I see that it's supposed to be < 4.96, ubuntu 13.04 runs 4.101 so I'm out of ideas. [22:26] Slart, sure, IRC is always the last resort. No use in wasting peoples time when a google search might help. [22:27] askubuntu.com is normally my first stop these days. [22:27] Dr_willis, yah. It's amazing! [22:27] tskorte: people on IRC has in some way already decided that they want their time wasted if you ask me =) I wouldn't really suggest googling normally but it seems a bit quiet in here at the moment [22:28] now if people would search askubuntu.com and understand how its supposed to work instead of asking the same question over and over on the site.. ;P [22:29] I found this workaround on launchpad, as it is a bug apparantly but I'm unsure how to download the ubuntus 'linux-source'. Someone posted a patch on launchpad which should help. [22:29] Slart, haha, true that. === Nitrodex is now known as Guest22111 [22:30] bbl [22:32] again dont work, i still cant open my hard [22:32] same error [22:33] k1lled: did you find any errors when you did the disk check? [22:33] Slart: - nope [22:34] at windows, all is good [22:34] work perf, no error in check [22:35] k1lled: and you're sure you did a normal shutdown.. no hibernation, suspend or such? [22:35] yes, shut down, when my laptop was down, i click my power off button, to start === Multiply is now known as multiply [22:36] k1lled: how fast does it boot up? are your programs still running when it comes back? [22:37] i cant undarstand a quest, my english is bad.. [22:38] k1lled: no worries.. there are two ways to shut down a computer.. normal (full) shutdown.. everything is killed and power turned off.. then there is hibernation (kind of like some animals do in winter) where everything is saved to the hard drive and when you start up the computer again it loads everything and your programs are still running, documents in office are still open and such [22:38] can i run mac os app on ubuntu ? [22:38] KeyboardNotFound: Nope [22:39] k1lled: you have to do a full shutdown.. not hibernation when you exit windows .. otherwise you'll get the error you described [22:39] Slart: i know what is hibernate and shut down, and what is diff. === johnny is now known as Guest28907 [22:39] KeyboardNotFound: nothing is preventing any application from being made to run on linux/ubuntu.. ask the developers if it will run on ubuntu [22:39] and i never use this option hibernate - this is most stupid thing [22:40] k1lled: it might be called something like "fast restart" in windows.. it might also be enabled by default === demagogue is now known as behemoth [22:40] dude i know how to shut down my pc [22:40] and i dont know what is the problem [22:40] but [22:40] my windows have no problem [22:40] at 12.04 and 12.10 no problems too, but 13.04 cant mount this [22:40] Hi there, I have an nvidia card, with optimus technology (newer laptop, IdeaPad Y580).

I am trying to find an easy way to install the i965 driver for my laptop. I am running Ubuntu 12.04. [22:43] k1lled: what exatly used to work in 12.04 that is not working in 13.04? what is not mounting? [22:43] k1lled: then I don't really know what could cause this.. sorry [22:43] holstein: moment [22:43] Slart: If i try "use Ubuntu" from the disk, is this a good way to verify? [22:43] http://postimg.org/image/ojcuh1n0p/full/ - look... [22:44] z_-: better battery life compared to what? [22:44] Slart: told me the problem come from win8, bad shutdown [22:44] holstein: Win7/8. [22:44] but i know how to shut down [22:44] z_-: depending on the laptop model and such it might range from "everything works out of the box" to "nothing works and noone knows if it will get better" [22:44] z_-: yes, running the live ubuntu thing will at least tell you if some things will work [22:45] z_-: FN buttons will work, but battery will work same time like windows [22:45] k1lled: did you confirm that the message is not true? have you tried mounting it read only? [22:45] Slart: Great thanks I'll test. [22:45] actually, battery life can be much worse in linux, due to driver support, typically [22:45] z_-: on my laptop I had about half the battery life compared to windows.. after lots of tweaking I've now got about 25% better battery time [22:45] how i can mount it read only [22:46] Slart: Tweakings hard to do? [22:46] k1lled: i would read the message in the image you linked me, and try what is suggests.. ro [22:46] Slart: I got a Vizio laptop on Win8 and FN/battery life don't work well. hence Why I want to try ubuntu -_- [22:46] z_-: not really hard but lots of trial and error.. creating small scripts and such.. it takes some patience and a lot of rebooting =) [22:47] Slart: fuuuuuuu [22:47] well.. you're welcome I guess.. [22:47] z_-: if flawless hardware support is the most important thing, you should use what the vendor suggests and intended you to use.. if you are willing to tinker, and compromise, you might enjoy linux/ubuntu [22:48] Hi everyone.
