| Nick119119 | Hello, All of you Ubuntu channel goers! I'm having an instalation error, if someone could help me out I would be incredibly greatful | 00:22 |
| fwe | i was in project that was failing and as a result got my probation period extended. they said my programming skills were not that good. however an expert programmer was brought in and the project is still failing. the project manager and i had had an argument and that is why he tried to sabotage me. do you feel the boss knows the truth now? | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | !details | Nick119119 | 00:23 |
| ubottu | Nick119119: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 00:23 |
| Nick119119 | It's just a weird error, I have it on disk and choose to install, but when I get to the part where it's supposed to ask if I want to install over or alongside win7, it just instead asks me to delete win7 or choose 'something else', and I'm trying to install ubuntu 13.04 64 bit | 00:24 |

| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, post a screenshot of gparted, sounds like you have 4 primary partitions already the limit in a mbr setup. | 00:25 |

| mfdl | can anyone help me out with a weird networking problem? My samba share activates only after a user logs in. However, my monitor died on me and I want to continue accessing my files via the share. | 00:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, Then use the something other option and point the install at that partition and mount is / | 00:26 |
| mfdl | actually, never mind the share just showed up after refreshing | 00:27 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, YOU lose what is there do you need anything in 12.04? | 00:27 |
| Nick119119 | How can I tell which partition has my old Ubuntu? sda3 says windows loader, but the rest say nothing. And no, I already backed up all of my old data | 00:27 |
| Gabboz | Hi. Ubuntu 12.04 server. Is it possible to mount a location between two servers with ssh? As I understand it sshfs is a FUSE item. Thanks. | 00:27 |
| psusi | wilee-nilee, you don't if you don't check the format box | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, Open gparted on the live cd take a screen shot and imagebin it, prtsc key takes a pic. | 00:28 |
| psusi | Gabboz, so what if it's fuse? | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | psusi, Ah, would not do that myself. | 00:28 |
| Gabboz | can fuse run on server version? | 00:28 |
| psusi | yea | 00:28 |
| psusi | you can run anything you want on server | 00:28 |
| * Catalystic is listening to 03 - Highpersonic Whomen - Critical Moments (Daytripper Mix).mp3 | 00:29 | |
| Gabboz | ok. lets pretend I have somewhere.com port 600 as a ssh. what cmd syntax would I use to mount a dir on the other server? | 00:29 |
| musca | you can send anything through ssh tunnels | 00:29 |
| Gabboz | musca, i agree i just dont know how to set as a mount | 00:29 |
| Nick119119 | http://imagebin.org/261935 | 00:30 |
| psusi | Gabboz, not sure, never used sshfs myself... check the man page | 00:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, Did you install ubuntu from windows originally, I see no ext type partitions. | 00:32 |
| Nick119119 | Yes, I didn't have a blank disk or usb at the time. That's why I installed 12.04 inthe first place, it had a windows installer | 00:33 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, YOu have 4 primary partitions you can not add another. You will have to deal with saving what you need from one there, then making a extended in its place for logical types for the ubuntu and swap. | 00:34 |
| ccclipsss | I'm trying to dual boot Ubuntu with Linux Mint but when I try to create a boot disk via DVD I can't boot from the CD no matter what route I go (adjusting bios settings and such), and a USB doesn't even show up. | 00:35 |
| Nick119119 | Alright, newb question time then, how do I specifically see what is on one of the partitions? | 00:35 |
| psusi | ccclipsss, how did you burn the cd? | 00:35 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, You might want to check with the ##windows channel understanding the partitions you have and what is there. | 00:36 |

| Nick119119 | Okay, thank you very much! | 00:37 |
| Gabboz | psusi, works well. syntax is odd with non-default port but works.. thanks | 00:37 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, I would also make sure this is a mbr not uefi gpt setup, I assume it isn't but ths is rather important | 00:37 |
| wilee-nilee | *this | 00:37 |
| psusi | ccclipsss, well then you have to figure out how to tell your bios to boot that drive | 00:38 |
| ccclipsss | psusi When I try to change the boot order, I make the CD drive the main priority and that doesn't work, and when I try to manually select it, it doesn't show up at all. | 00:38 |
| ccclipsss | If it makes a difference this was originally a windows 8 computer. | 00:39 |
| === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry | ||
| Gabboz | ccclipsss, is secure boot involved? | 00:39 |
| psusi | ccclipsss, which iso are you using? you might go into the bios and see if there's an option to disable secure boot, it can cause problems | 00:39 |
| ccclipsss | I believe secure boot is enabled. | 00:40 |
| Gabboz | turn it off | 00:40 |
| ccclipsss | I will try to disable it. | 00:40 |
| psusi | it it came with windows 8 it had secure boot enabled... it's required for the windows 8 logo | 00:40 |
| ccclipsss | While I'm in the BIOS menu are there any other options I should look at and/or possibly adjust? | 00:40 |
| Gabboz | ccclipsss, boot order is convenient but not necessary | 00:41 |
| ccclipsss | Thanks guys, I'll give it a shot. | 00:41 |
| * Catalystic is listening to 01 - Stereofeld - Zwirbeldrusenfunk.mp3 | 00:41 | |
| psusi | another sticking point with windows 8 is that when you tell it to shut down, it really just hibernates, making booting another os a problem... disable "fast boot" | 00:41 |
| ccclipsss | Okay. | 00:41 |
| Gabboz | psusi, interesting. where is that setting in win8? | 00:42 |
| psusi | dunno, I stopped using windows after xp | 00:42 |
| * Gabboz still has to use win stuff. | 00:42 | |
| Gabboz | ahh its a common entry in blogspace | 00:42 |
| Catalystic | a friend of mine tell me that windows svhost is a trojan | 00:43 |
| con-man | how do I change/disable the alt hotkey for the sidebar? | 00:43 |
| ccclipsss | psusi I disabled secure boot and it still didn't work. When I go into the boot options it doesn't even show my CD drive. If I put my Ubuntu boot disk in it will load up the way it's supposed to, and it will show my CD drive in boot options. | 00:46 |
| ccclipsss | However, any other boot disk I try does not work. | 00:47 |

| ccclipsss | I already have Ubuntu installed. | 00:49 |
| Gabboz | ah | 00:50 |
| ccclipsss | For some reason I am unable to create a boot disk that works. I go through all of the procedures to create it, even using google to find alternate methods to create one, but it just doesn't work. But it puzzles me because the Ubuntu boot disk works just fine. | 00:51 |
| wilee-nilee | ccclipsss, Not much difference between mint and ubuntu other than desktops, which are available in the ubuntu repos, and some codecs included on the mint install. | 00:51 |
| ccclipsss | wilee-nilee Thanks. I'll look into that. It doesn't satisfy my curiosity of why boot disks aren't working though :\ | 00:52 |
| Gabboz | ccclipsss, have you MD5d the ISO you downloaded? | 00:52 |
| psusi | ccclipsss, what? you just said that it works, and that it doesn't | 00:52 |
| ccclipsss | psusi The Ubuntu boot disk works just fine. However, any other boot disk I create with any other OS on it does not work. | 00:53 |
| psusi | ccclipsss, well, you'd have to take that up with the other OS then ;) | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | ccclipsss, I am not up on W8 stuff so on that I can't help, the boot disk not sure, the usb's should show on a computer that new. There is a boot from menu outside the bios I use rather then the bios to boot other media...etc, I assume it is there in a uefi. | 00:54 |
| ccclipsss | Gabboz I have not MD5d any ISO that I have downloaded. | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | !md5sum | 00:55 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:55 |
| Gabboz | ccclipsss, i would verify what you downloaded is what was intended.. get the md5 from mint and cross reference | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | mint should have the sums to compare | 00:55 |
| Gabboz | yup | 00:55 |
| foobArrr | I have a strange problem since upgrading to 13.04. I'm using xfce with compiz. when I have several maximized windows, somtimes when I click the X to close a window, not the window in the front but a window in the back gets closed. I tried with both gtk-window-decorator and emerald, same result. any ideas? | 00:58 |
| Gabboz | foobArrr, have you tried this scenario in another user account? | 00:58 |
| foobArrr | Gabboz: no, but I will now :) | 00:59 |

| deviantintegral | is there a way to back up an mdadm superblock before rebuilding with --create -- assume-clean? is it worth even trying? | 00:59 |
| Gabboz | deviantintegral, might wana gloss over this for ideas.. http://askubuntu.com/questions/69086/mdadm-superblock-recovery | 01:00 |
| rhizome | my usb key is not mounting well. i have pmount installed and nothing in fstab (and i'm pretty sure nothing relevant in udev) | 01:01 |
| deviantintegral | thanks Gabboz. google is failing because it keeps confusing ext superblocks with mdadm superblock | 01:02 |
| psusi | deviantintegral, why would you try to recreate the array in the first place? this is generally a bad move | 01:03 |
| deviantintegral | psusi: i have 3 drives, 2 were throwing smart warnings. Got replacements, and started to swap / rebuild the drive that was closer to death. During the rebuild the other drive failed :( | 01:04 |
| psusi | deviantintegral, time to restore from backup then | 01:05 |
| deviantintegral | so, now I'm trying to rebuild with the other drive. The main issue is, I can't --assemble them because the newer drive thinks the drive I've put back in is failed | 01:06 |
| deviantintegral | since it's on the same device node | 01:06 |
| deviantintegral | yeah, this set might be toast. | 01:06 |
| akurilin | Quick question, what do you do if the ethernet card on one's motherboard is not detected by Ubuntu 12.04 at install? | 01:08 |

| Gabboz | ccclipsss, do you have another PC to test this disc with? | 01:08 |
| ccclipsss | Unfortunately I don't, but I could possibly get one tomorrow. I'll give that a shot. | 01:08 |
| Gabboz | fyi, i have seen some distros simply not boot to a PC and never did discover why | 01:08 |
| Moonlightning | Every time I boot my laptop, it seems to take about half a minute to ready the swap device. I think that's because it's encrypted; is there anything I can do to make that faster? It's kind of annoying. | 01:09 |

| ccclipsss | wilee-nilee It shows up if I put the Ubuntu boot disk in, which I burned with Windows 8, but any image I burn in Ubuntu doesn't show up. | 01:10 |
| ccclipsss | Perhaps it is a problem with the way I am creating the boot disk? | 01:10 |
| wilee-nilee | ccclipsss, Really, I wonder of uefi setups are different here, a tweak needed to see it. | 01:11 |

| ikonia | SDr: I suspect it's worth just asking linode directly | 01:18 |

| gordonjcp | you're just not that interesting | 01:33 |
| gordonjcp | Moonlightning: sorry to have to break it to you like this, but no-one cares about your unencrypted data | 01:33 |
| Moonlightning | Fair enough. My question is, can I make that overhead a little less noticeable? | 01:33 |
| ikonia | Moonlightning: no | 01:33 |
| gordonjcp | Moonlightning: nope | 01:33 |
| ikonia | Moonlightning: get a faster laptop | 01:33 |
| gordonjcp | Moonlightning: disk encryption will cripple the performance of your machine and there is no way round it | 01:34 |
| Moonlightning | hahaha, that's a good idea. :p | 01:34 |
| gordonjcp | Moonlightning: at best you'll lose 10% | 01:34 |
| gordonjcp | at worst, you'll *get* 10% | 01:34 |
| gordonjcp | Moonlightning: oh and if you ever have disk problems, all your data is gone for good | 01:35 |
| Frazzled | Anybody know anything about "ubiquity"? | 01:35 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: yes, it's the installer framework that Ubuntu uses | 01:35 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: why don't you just askt he real question | 01:35 |
| Moonlightning | gordonjcp: isn't that true even if you don't use FDE? ;) | 01:36 |
| Frazzled | I did, but... lol. | 01:36 |
| gordonjcp | Moonlightning: no, because with many disk failures you can at least get some of the data back | 01:36 |
| Frazzled | My Ubuntu 13.04 install crashed: the 4th Linux install crash of the day. | 01:36 |
| * Moonlightning shrugs | 01:36 | |
| Moonlightning | I'll keep that in mind. :p | 01:37 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: then you're doing something wrong | 01:37 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: any more detail than that ? | 01:37 |
| wheatthin | is a compiz a must for gnome classic? | 01:37 |
| Frazzled | Like...? | 01:37 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: it's impossible to say | 01:37 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: you haven't told us what's wrong | 01:37 |
| Frazzled | The other 3: Xubuntu 12.04 LTS, Xubuntu 13.04, and Linux Mint 15 didn't give specific errors, stating there was a read error when trying to get more info. | 01:37 |
| wheatthin | !compiz | 01:37 |
| ubottu | Compiz (compositing window manager), for a howto see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompositeManager and more help #compiz | 01:37 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: a read error suggests the disk may be failing | 01:38 |
| jason__ | join xubuntu-devel | 01:38 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: without knowing what the error message was, it's impossible to say | 01:38 |
| Frazzled | Ubuntu 13.04 stated that Ubiquity crashed due to a "bug" | 01:38 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: so why is this "ubiquity" | 01:38 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: that's useless | 01:38 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: post the error message *verbatim* | 01:38 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: so think it through, 4 different distros fail with a complaint on disk, one of them a more generic bug with "ubiquity" - what does that suggest to you | 01:39 |
| Frazzled | I figured, since I used this install on another machine and it is working fine. | 01:39 |
| Jeruvy | Frazzled the read error is more telling | 01:39 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: what is common to all the attempts you've made to install? | 01:39 |
| Jeruvy | with read errors anything could fail. | 01:39 |
| Frazzled | I am already thinking it is a hardware issue, but I have already ruled out: memory, hard-drive, cpu and am left with PSU, motherboard | 01:39 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: how have you ruled them out ? | 01:40 |
| Frazzled | But I wanted to know if anybody could help me figure if this was at all a software issue. | 01:40 |
| Frazzled | Verbatim error message? | 01:40 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: have you tried the USB stick on another machine? | 01:40 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: why would it be a software issue, 4 different versions of the distro are failing, 3 with specific warning about disk reads | 01:40 |
| Frazzled | Well... | 01:40 |
| TheUsD | what is a good channel for router/firewall support? | 01:40 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: apply logic, 3 fail with a complaint about disk, 1 with a more generic failure that could be caused by lack of disk | 01:40 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: where do you see the problem being.... | 01:41 |
| Frazzled | Yes, I have. And it worked. But a failed installation sounds like a HDD like you said earlier... | 01:41 |
| Jeruvy | TheUsD you can try ##networking | 01:41 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: it wouldn't necessarily be reading from the drive it's installing onto... | 01:41 |
| TheUsD | Jeruvy: thank you | 01:41 |
| ikonia | thats the whole point, it reads from the palce it's installing from | 01:41 |
| Frazzled | That's what I was thinking... | 01:41 |
| Frazzled | These are two different USB sticks that I have tried. | 01:41 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: so, have you tried the USB stick on a different machine? | 01:42 |
| Frazzled | And one is verified to work. | 01:42 |
| TheUsD | Jeruvy: it takes me to ##overflow same channel? | 01:42 |
| gordonjcp | TheUsD: you probably need to be registered on freenode | 01:42 |
| Frazzled | Yes, I have. | 01:42 |
| Jeruvy | TheUsD like gordonjcp said. | 01:42 |
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: and...? | 01:42 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: ok so you then go up a level and look at the usb controller it's plugged into, or down a level and the data on the drive | 01:42 |
| gordonjcp | ffff, this is like pulling teeth | 01:43 |
| gordonjcp | I'm off to bed | 01:43 |
| Frazzled | And it worked fine on the other machine. | 01:43 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: ok so you then go up a level and look at the usb controller it's plugged into, or down a level and the data on the drive | 01:43 |
| === Tayl is now known as Taylor | ||
| gordonjcp | Frazzled: right, then there is a fault with the machine you're installing onto | 01:43 |
| Frazzled | Sorry gordon, I explained this in detail twice, lol, but I can do it again. | 01:43 |
| === root is now known as Guest85807 | ||
| Frazzled | I have come to that conclusion as well. I am merely here to see if anybody has any clue as to why Ubiquity to crash, aside from a hardware issue. | 01:44 |
| Frazzled | Ubiquity would crash* | 01:44 |
| ikonia | Frazzled why focus on Ubiquity when you are clearly looking at a hardware problem ? | 01:45 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: your other distros are spelling it out clean and simple for you | 01:45 |
| Frazzled | Because I don't know enough about the Linux installer to rule out the possibility of a software issue. | 01:45 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: again, apply logic | 01:45 |
| Frazzled | Hence, why I am here. | 01:45 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: 3 of them are saying "we can't read from teh disk...." | 01:45 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: a 4th is giving a genric error, which could be also caused by a lack of disk | 01:46 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: why are you not looking at why it can't read from the disk.... | 01:46 |
| Frazzled | Well, I came so that more experienced fellows like yourself could tell me, "No, it's clearly a hardware issue." So thank you. | 01:46 |
| ikonia | why are you looking at Ubiquity | 01:46 |
| Frazzled | I am simply trying to understand why it crashed. You are saying it is a HDD issue, so now I have to go run more tests on the HDD... | 01:47 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: I'm not saying it's a hard disk error | 01:47 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: I'm saying it can't read from the hard disk | 01:47 |
| === irfan is now known as Guest63360 | ||
| Frazzled | So would that be the installer or the HDD itself, or is that too difficult to determine? | 01:48 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: you have given us no information | 01:48 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: however, again, apply logic | 01:48 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: 4 distros have this problems | 01:48 |
| Frazzled | What kind of information should I provide? | 01:48 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: different versions | 01:48 |
| Frazzled | I am rather new to this IRC chat. I usually solve my problems myself, but decided to give this a try. | 01:49 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: is it likely to be a bug in all distros or likely to be a problem with that hardware/interface ? | 01:49 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: have you searched the bug database to see if this is a known bug ? | 01:49 |
| Frazzled | I understand that it is a localized issue. I am trying to determine whether it is specific to the installer or the HDD. | 01:49 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: re-read what I just said | 01:50 |
| owahi | Hi. My touchpad has stopped working and I can't figure out why. I have run xinput and determined that it is detected and enabled but it still doesn't work. any ideas? | 01:51 |
| Frazzled | Ok ikonia. May I ask what you are suggesting is the issue, specifically? | 01:52 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: that's what you need to do, but the symptom is clear "I can't read this disk" | 01:52 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: so why - is the data bad, is the disk bad, is the controller it sits on bad, is the controller it sits on supported, is there a known bug, have I searched for the bug, | 01:53 |
| Frazzled | Ok. So it sounds like a hardware issue. | 01:53 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: NO ! | 01:53 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: the problem is it can't read the disk | 01:53 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: you have to work out why | 01:53 |
| ikonia | look at the suggestions I just made in 10 seconds of thought | 01:53 |
| ikonia | work through them | 01:53 |
| ikonia | apply logic, discount what you can PROVE works | 01:54 |
| Frazzled | But the installer has worked elsewhere, so wouldn't that suggest that the data comprising the installer is functional? | 01:54 |
| ikonia | and make sure it's "works in linux" not "I've tested it in windows" | 01:54 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: it suggests the data is good yes, not %100, but certainly leans that way | 01:54 |
| Frazzled | Right... so... the other suggestion is the disk being bad: which I can assume it is not. Again not 100%, but it seems that way based on the UBCD tests. | 01:55 |
| ikonia | again no | 01:55 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: think it through | 01:55 |
| Frazzled | Then the controller being supported. Are you referring to the USB controller? | 01:55 |
| ikonia | you've JUST told me the installer works on another PC, so you know the disk is "ok" | 01:55 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: come on - think about this | 01:55 |
| Frazzled | I meant HDD not Pendrive, sorry. | 01:56 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: 1.) verify the usb / installer on another PC -so you know it is STILL a good disk with good data | 01:56 |
| Frazzled | I guess you are using Pendrive = disk in this instance. | 01:56 |
| Frazzled | Sorry, my mixup. | 01:56 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: 2.) once that is done and you can have a reasonable ammount of confidence both a re good, move up a level and look at the next step in the chain, | 01:56 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: the interface between teh installers disk and the computer, the usb port | 01:56 |
| Frazzled | Well, the other computer with this "disk's" installation is still working without any issues, so far. | 01:57 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: then move up another level, is there any known bugs with this controller in linux - if so what are they | 01:57 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: are you kidding me ? | 01:57 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: you've used a pen drive to install an OS onto another computer, that computer is still working so the pen drive must still be "ok" | 01:57 |
| Frazzled | Ok, well, do you have any ideas as to how I'd test if the USB controller is supported? | 01:57 |
| Frazzled | Is that faulty thinking? | 01:58 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: massive !!! | 01:58 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: you've installed from that pen drive | 01:58 |
| ikonia | the install worked | 01:58 |
| Frazzled | How so? | 01:58 |
| ikonia | is that current computer using the pendrive at all | 01:58 |
| ikonia | after the install | 01:58 |
| Frazzled | No. | 01:58 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: right - so why does that prove the pendrive is still good and the data is still good ? | 01:58 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: you're machine has not crashed....so ??? it's not using the disk in question | 01:59 |
| moyam01 | how do i make iptables show me a list of TABLES (not chains) | 01:59 |
| GreekFreak | hi all | 01:59 |
| Frazzled | That isn't the only machine that the pendrive has installed to and both machines have worked. | 01:59 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: you're not listening | 01:59 |
| GreekFreak | I have the following rights to a directory (I am the owner) "drw-rw-rw-" yet when I try to cd into it, it says permission denied | 02:00 |
| ikonia | GreekFreak: it's actually missing x - you need execute to be able to "see" what's in the directory | 02:00 |
| ikonia | GreekFreak: add the excute to the owner | 02:00 |
| GreekFreak | ikonia, oh... thank you | 02:01 |
| Frazzled | But if the disk installs correctly 2/3 times, with the 1/3 not working also giving issues for other installations, shouldn't the issue be localized to the 1/3 machine? | 02:01 |
| ikonia | GreekFreak: it's a bit backward | 02:01 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: ok - so the first install doesn't work, but the second 2 do ? | 02:01 |
| Frazzled | The first worked, the second hasn't, the third has. | 02:01 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: so you've verified the disk AFTER you hit this problem and got a good install ? | 02:01 |
| Frazzled | Yes, on another machine. | 02:01 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: ok, so you can have a good level of confidence the disk is valid | 02:02 |
| Frazzled | Well... I have reason to discount it as the issue, so, I suppose, lol. | 02:02 |
| GreekFreak | ikonia, lol | 02:03 |
| Frazzled | So now, you mentioned the USB controller... | 02:03 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: you basically need to work backwards through the problem, you can discount physical media and data with a reasonable level of confidence, so apply logic, what's the next link in the chain | 02:04 |
| Tex_Nick | Linux continues to rule supercomputers ... http://www.zdnet.com/linux-continues-to-rule-supercomputers-7000016968/ | 02:05 |
| ikonia | Tex_Nick: that is nothing to do with this channel, please don't post that sort of thing | 02:05 |
| Tex_Nick | ikonia: sorry posted to the wrong channel ... i'll watch it better | 02:06 |
| follower | what would be the best way to back up my data and perform a clean install? | 02:06 |
| ikonia | follower: get external drive, copy data off, boot install meddia, do clean install | 02:06 |
| Frazzled | Well, now I've stepped into the broad world of electronic components and all that entails as being the issue, lol. | 02:06 |
| follower | if i have no external drive? | 02:06 |
| ikonia | follower: buy one | 02:07 |
| Frazzled | lol | 02:07 |
| ikonia | follower: or use any spare disk media you have | 02:07 |
| Frazzled | follower: how many GB are we talking? | 02:07 |
| follower | around 25 gigs | 02:07 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: I've performed Memtest86 on the machine in question and it found errors, so I took out a stick and it passed. So, I've ruled out memory as being the issue. At this point, I think I'll install a Windows OS and see if it runs stably or not, lol. | 02:09 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: what good will that do ? | 02:09 |
| Frazzled | follower: do you have any DVDs? | 02:09 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: I'm going to stop progressing this now with you as it's clear you're not listening | 02:09 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: I've advised you to NOT validate this with windows as it proves nothing | 02:09 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: Well, what are you trying to tell me? lol | 02:09 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: "lol" - I don't find it funny, you're wasting my time. | 02:10 |
| Compy | Does ubuntu have any facility for emulating a USB device? For example, I have a USB serial device (arduino) that I want to record, unplug, and then "play back" into the system as if its connected. | 02:10 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: best of luck, taking it forward, and I suggest you actually pay attention to the next guy that helps | 02:10 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: I guess I am a bit dense. Just tell me what you want me to do. | 02:10 |
| follower | i have many dl dvds | 02:10 |
| ikonia | Compy: not native as part of ubuntu but there is a program that can do it | 02:10 |
| ikonia | Compy: I've seen it used, but I can't think of the name. | 02:11 |
| Frazzled | follower: Do you have any individual files that exceeds 4.5 GB? | 02:11 |
| Compy | ikonia: Well drag! I've been messing around with umockdev but it looks like it only supports storage devices. | 02:11 |
| tking | i imported some c++ project file to ubuntu from mac but when i run the on the terminal i see "permission denied" but when i create a new project i don't get it. I imported these via code blocks | 02:11 |
| follower | i have none | 02:11 |
| Frazzled | follower: Ok, then I suggest backing up your files to DVDs and then doing a clean install after that. | 02:12 |
| ikonia | Compy: I'm certain there is one for usb and I've seen it used in less than 6 months ago, so I know it's still valid | 02:12 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: Are you still mad at me? lol | 02:12 |
| follower | thanks Frazzled | 02:12 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: again "lol" - I don't find it funny. | 02:12 |
| Compy | ikonia: Yeah well that gives me some hope. I'll continue my googling and see what comes about. Many thanks for the response :) | 02:12 |
| Frazzled | follower: Np. | 02:12 |
| ikonia | Compy: I'm having a quick look myself, | 02:12 |
| ikonia | Compy: I'm sorry I can't remember it quickly | 02:13 |
| Compy | No sweat, I'm sure with the flurry of information that comes through here, it gets pushed out rather quickly. | 02:13 |
| ikonia | Compy: ooh there is also a dummy usb host module, have you looked at that | 02:14 |
| ikonia | Compy: (I've not tried it myself) | 02:14 |
| Compy | Got a link? | 02:14 |
| ikonia | Compy: looks likt it's part of the kernel | 02:14 |
| ikonia | Compy: http://lxr.free-electrons.com/source/drivers/usb/gadget/dummy_hcd.c | 02:14 |
| Compy | oh, I also remember "gadget" | 02:15 |
| Compy | hmm | 02:15 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: Well, I am sorry if I am upsetting you. You suggested that I follow the next step in the chain, but the only thing after the USB controller is an electrical issue, such as a power deficiency, voltage instability, motherboard misregulation and other hardware issues that I don't know how to individually attend to. | 02:15 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: I explained many more steps earlier, thus backing up you are not listening/paying attention even further | 02:15 |
| Compy | ikonia: Thanks for the link! I'll read up on it and see if I can get it compiled and loaded. | 02:15 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: I suggest seeing if someone else in the channel will help | 02:15 |
| ikonia | Compy: just having a look for the other thing I remember | 02:16 |
| Compy | The more info the merrier, I appreciate you looking into it! | 02:16 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: I may not have seen it, I am sorry. Would you mind repeating? | 02:16 |
| ikonia | Compy I know the other one was good, hence why I'm trying to find it, the guy using it was very impressed | 02:17 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: I've gone over it multiple times, I'm not progressing this futher, sorry | 02:17 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: I am sorry for making this an undesirable experience for you. I appreciate you trying to help me. | 02:18 |
| ikonia | Frazzled: no problem. | 02:18 |
| Compy | yeah, people keep suggesting USB IP for it, which is not really in the realm of what I need to do, though I guess I could sift through their client source code to see how they're setting it up. | 02:18 |
| ikonia | Compy: just seen a few posts on lkml and the usb sub system lists that speak positive of gadget too | 02:18 |
| ikonia | Compy: http://www.linux-usb.org/gadget/ | 02:19 |
| ikonia | Compy: again - not what I was looking for, but more detail on the earlier comment | 02:19 |
| Compy | ikonia: yep, much appreciated there. I'm still looking myself. :) | 02:19 |

| xlaire | i see | 02:31 |
| xlaire | thx somsip | 02:31 |
| wilee-nilee | somsip, Thanks I rarely mount from the terminal, I forgot it. | 02:32 |
| somsip | wilee-nilee: np | 02:32 |
| xlaire | i think i understand now the command | 02:32 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: I re-read what you have said and realized I accidentally skipped over a few things. Sorry about that. | 02:32 |
| Frazzled | ikonia: But I won't ask you for more help, so don't worry about that. | 02:32 |
| xlaire | any tricks | 02:34 |
| xlaire | how to know what sdaxx number is my memory stick? | 02:34 |
| somsip | xlaire: sudo fdisk -l | 02:35 |
| xlaire | wow you're good | 02:35 |
| xlaire | thx man | 02:35 |

| yva | somsip, no errors when I grep 'sda' so I guess everything is ok? | 03:11 |
| somsip | yva: it's a fair guess. Why do you suspect an error? | 03:11 |
| yva | somsip, nope it's not. it's in fact giving me an error when I try to copy data (not enough space) | 03:13 |
| somsip | yva: output of df -h ? | 03:14 |
| yva | somsip the line in fstab is UUID=XXX /data ext4 users,noauto 0 0 | 03:14 |

| loganlee | .user | 03:21 |
| somsip | yva: so it is present and working, but not auto-mounted? Can you mount it manually? Any dmesg errors when you try to do that> | 03:21 |
| yva | somsip, when I mount it manually I cannot copy to it | 03:22 |
| somsip | yva: And is this the 'no room' message? Maybe it's something hardware on the drive. Is it old or dodgy? | 03:24 |
| loganlee | so...... | 03:24 |
| yva | somsip, ok I now got it to work (using defaults instead of auto,user) but I don't have permissions | 03:25 |
| yva | to copy | 03:25 |
| loganlee | sudo cp | 03:26 |
| somsip | yva: is that when you mounted manually or from fstab and a reboot> so your fstab is now just 'defaults' and not ' | 03:26 |
| somsip | yva: ..not 'user,noauto'? | 03:27 |
| yva | yep, it's mounted as root. | 03:27 |
| Nautilus__ | I've booted to a 12.04 LTS Live CD and would like to save some of the files from the XP HD. Is there a DVD burner included in 12.04 LTS? Where to find it? | 03:27 |
| yva | from fstab changing 'user,noauto' to defaults | 03:27 |
| somsip | yva: so if your fstab is fixed, maybe unount and 'mount /dev/sda' might pick it up from fstab | 03:27 |
| somsip | *umount | 03:27 |
| yva | nope, I just rebooted. It works but it's mounted as root | 03:28 |
| loganlee | chroot | 03:28 |
| somsip | loganlee: do you have a support question or will this just be more of your usual behaviour? | 03:28 |
| somsip | yva: what permissions did /data have before mounting? I'm not sure where I'm going with this, just trying to ask questions that make sense... | 03:29 |
| akurilin | Quick question: if I don't see eth0 under ifconfig, does that mean the ethernet controller isn't detected or that the drivers aren't there? | 03:29 |
| yva | no sure, thanks for trying | 03:29 |
| loganlee | akurilin: driver not loaded i think | 03:30 |
| yva | should I specify uid & gid? | 03:30 |
| akurilin | loganlee, do you have any advice for how to deal with this situation? Is there a general approach? | 03:31 |
| lotuspsychje | is there any way to hide a /home/user completely so another user cant even see the folder? | 03:31 |
| loganlee | akurilin: maybe lsmod | 03:31 |
| somsip | yva: You should set the permissions for what you want final access to be. Eg root:users and 775 | 03:31 |

| Nautilus__ | does 12.04 LTS have a DVD burner built in? I'm not use to Unity at all, unsure where to look. | 03:33 |
| yva | msg at startup: "panic occured, switching back to text console" | 03:34 |
| loganlee | Nautilus__: k3b? | 03:34 |
| somsip | yva: so...have you been trying to write to a disk formatted as swap? | 03:34 |
| Nautilus__ | loganlee: where to look for it? | 03:34 |
| yva | nope, just added uid and gid | 03:35 |
| somsip | Nautilus__: xfburn is a fairly small install. Or brasero. k3b uses KDE so carries a lot of extra dependencies | 03:35 |
| Nautilus__ | somsip: It's a Live CD environment, can I install things such as that ? | 03:36 |
| somsip | Nautilus__: yes, but they will be lost on reboot | 03:37 |
| Nautilus__ | somsip: where do they go? just ram? | 03:37 |
| somsip | Nautilus__: long time since I used live cd. I believe the filesystem is mounted into a tmpfs in ram, so they will be installed there | 03:38 |
| Nautilus__ | ok, thanks | 03:38 |
| Tex_Nick | Nautilus__: if you can try a persistent USB | 03:38 |
| Nautilus__ | somsip: oh, add via Software Center? | 03:38 |
| Nautilus__ | Tex_Nick: would that have to be a blank stick? | 03:39 |
| somsip | Nautilus__: I don't use it, but I imagine it woudl work | 03:39 |
| Tex_Nick | Nautilus__: depends on size if stick ... and available memory ... blank would be easiest | 03:42 |

| jdownloadhelpplz | which is strange since i remember opening a file from that folder but after i rebooted it was gone. the filename is still on my recently opened documents list. | 03:49 |

| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| wheatthin | akurilin, module not claiming a device? | 04:01 |
| wheatthin | I think that's what he meant | 04:01 |
| S_sounds | i updated, booted, i had a folder, was able to access a file, then after a reboot the folder and file was gone, although the file name is still listed in the media player. | 04:02 |
| wheatthin | S_sounds, hmm was it on the desktop? | 04:02 |
| cyrano_ | I currently have sound, however no sound devices are showing up in the sound manager. So I am not able to change the volume or mute. While watching things in VLC the sound has no issues, however if I watch a youtube video th sound is very choppy yet the video isn't. | 04:02 |
| akurilin | wheaties, I guess so? I'm not sure what it means. The effect is that the network card isn't showing up at all under ifconfig. | 04:03 |
| S_sounds | it was in the home folder i made. I want to say it was the update, but my other folders i made in home are still there. | 04:03 |
| wheatthin | <-- tis wheatthin :) | 04:03 |
| akurilin | wheatthin, sorry!! :) | 04:04 |
| wheatthin | akurilin, is the module loading? | 04:04 |
| akurilin | wheatthin, I'd love to check that, where do I start? | 04:04 |
| S_sounds | even more confusing, it was a 3rd party app, so i thought maybe the update got rid of it, but after installing other 3rd party apps their folders magically sprung back up. | 04:04 |
| wheatthin | akurilin, I believe lsmod | 04:04 |
| S_sounds | like calibre found its files back. | 04:04 |
| anthony123124 | hello there | 04:05 |
| wheatthin | S_sounds, odd | 04:05 |
| wheaties466 | im that asshole, sorry guys | 04:05 |
| akurilin | wheatthin, which specific module should I be looking for? | 04:05 |
| wheatthin | akurilin, what device are you trying to locate? | 04:05 |
| S_sounds | if it's just gone i'd be at peace with it, but the fact that i was able to open it, then lost after a reboot and install... just confuses me. | 04:05 |
| akurilin | wheatthin, an ethernet controller | 04:05 |
| mn2010 | #ubuntu is busy as ever. | 04:06 |
| wheatthin | akurilin, yes, but this ethernet controller has a name/model | 04:06 |
| akurilin | wheatthin, Intel I217LM | 04:06 |
| utusan | akurilin: best to do lspci first to id your controller | 04:07 |
| S_sounds | it's REALLY confusing because when i booted after my initial install all my firefox tabs and chromium tabs opened, after reboot, they were back to home pages. | 04:07 |
| utusan | ops, never mind | 04:07 |
| S_sounds | so something really screwy happened w/o my knowing. | 04:07 |
| akurilin | utusan, It's at 00:19.p Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Device 153a (rev 04) | 04:08 |
| utusan | akurilin: do lsmod | grep ether | 04:08 |
| wheatthin | well then module is loaded | 04:08 |
| akurilin | utusan, that return nothing unfortunately | 04:08 |
| wheatthin | lsmod | grep intel | 04:08 |
| akurilin | wheatthin, a bunch of hits, but all for snd_hda_intel | 04:09 |
| ur0pl | i try to install ubuntu on my new gigabyte ud5 motherboard and when it installs it cannot mount my usb drive... it says "usb 2-4: nbew high-speed usb device number 4 using ehci_hcd" "device not accepting address 4, error -32... then it goes to device 5 | 04:09 |
| ur0pl | it says "unable to find a medium containing a live file system" BUT i am booting off of a installation disk | 04:09 |
| S_sounds | it's not like ubuntu to suddenly lose a folder/file that was there before.... i've done this before and it never deleted a hard file. | 04:10 |
| wheatthin | S_sounds, did you try finding it in the terminal? | 04:10 |
| S_sounds | nautilus but not terminal. | 04:10 |
| wheatthin | akurilin, well I know for sure it's loading | 04:10 |
| wheatthin | yes I knows this.. but if it's there in the terminal then you have it hidden | 04:10 |
| S_sounds | never had to find a file through terminal - wheatthin: % locate "qqqq" (w/o quotes) is that good? | 04:12 |
| wheatthin | S_sounds, if you've recently updatedb | 04:12 |
| S_sounds | i have. | 04:13 |
| wheatthin | then yes | 04:13 |
| wheatthin | as long as it's your file name is qqqq | 04:13 |
| wheatthin | akurilin, yeah the net is returning that to be a snd device | 04:14 |
| S_sounds | sweet will get back to you. | 04:14 |

| tucemiux | is gnome the default is 13.04?? | 04:23 |
| distilledchaos | unfortunately it looks like xserver-xorg-video-displaylink requires the xf86Resources.h header file | 04:23 |
| distilledchaos | tucemiux: negative | 04:23 |
| wheatthin | akurilin, yeah unfortunately ;/ | 04:23 |
| distilledchaos | well sorta | 04:23 |
| distilledchaos | unity is | 04:24 |
| tucemiux | distilledchaos, then unity is still the default on 13.04 or XFCE ? | 04:24 |
| S_sounds | ls: cannot access <...> no such file or directory jrib | 04:24 |
| distilledchaos | yeah | 04:24 |
| tucemiux | all right thanks! im going t install gnome then | 04:24 |
| jrib | S_sounds: then the file does not exist. Locate gives you results based on databases that were created in the past | 04:25 |
| distilledchaos | yesss | 04:25 |
| jrib | S_sounds: you can run « sudo updatedb » and try your locate command again if you wish | 04:25 |

| reisio | tucemiux: you already have most of GNOME | 04:26 |
| S_sounds | i guess the file is gone :/ | 04:26 |
| distilledchaos | woops | 04:26 |
| distilledchaos | sent to wrong person | 04:26 |
| tucemiux | reisio, no i dont, gnome never crashed the way it is doing it and quite often | 04:26 |
| distilledchaos | tucemiux that url was for you: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-get-complete-gnome-3-desktop-in.html | 04:26 |
| tucemiux | i never used thunar! | 04:26 |
| tucemiux | distilledchaos, is gnome3 stable though???? | 04:27 |
| reisio | tucemiux: you could be using Xubuntu I s'pose | 04:27 |
| reisio | tucemiux: not as stable as GNOME 2 had been | 04:27 |
| tucemiux | reisio, no, im using ubuntustudio | 04:27 |
| distilledchaos | tucemiux has been for me | 04:27 |
| tucemiux | distilledchaos, i dont want to go for gnome 3, I want stability with gnome 2 (classic) | 04:27 |
| distilledchaos | okay | 04:28 |
| wheatthin | gnome classic is still gnome 3 isn't it? | 04:28 |
| tucemiux | o.O | 04:28 |
| reisio | wheatthin: yes | 04:28 |
| distilledchaos | anybody got any ideas about xserver-xorg-video-displaylink and xf86Resources.h? | 04:28 |
| reisio | tucemiux: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntu plus sudo apt-get install gnome-shell should do you | 04:28 |

| DreadKnight | hello, the record audio software is not usable for some reason; I did changed some input settings in order to make that work with some desktop recorders, but still haven't managed to this the audio one working, while audacity works fine, any suggestions? | 04:28 |
| bigroomsmallhous | i reccomend linux 12 (lisa) but that is later | 04:29 |
| distilledchaos | reisio: i'm trying to get my displaylink adapter to play nice with 13.04 | 04:29 |
| distilledchaos | which as far as i can tell requires xserver-xorg-video-displaylink | 04:29 |
| distilledchaos | which isn't available via apt-get for 13.04 | 04:29 |
| distilledchaos | so i'm trying to build from source | 04:29 |
| distilledchaos | which requires said header file | 04:29 |
| tucemiux | reisio, i dont want pure ubuntu, i want whatever it is I have with gnome2 | 04:30 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, I'd look into what the newer release of xserver-xorg brings you | 04:30 |
| reisio | tucemiux: GNOME 2 is unmaintained | 04:30 |
| wheatthin | tucemiux, you can get gnome 3 classic which looks and acts like gnome 2 | 04:30 |
| reisio | tucemiux: you could try http://wiki.mate-desktop.org/download#ubuntu but I'm not sure I'd recommend it | 04:31 |
| wheatthin | you just have to install gnome 3 first and select classic via xsession | 04:31 |
| reisio | tucemiux: Xfce is the sanest choice for people who want something like GNOME 2 | 04:31 |
| distilledchaos | wheatthin: not quite sure what you mean | 04:31 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, when you install gnome 3 shell, it comes with gnome classic which looks and acts just like gnome 2 | 04:32 |
| S_sounds | well wheatthin and jrib, thanks. it didn't work out well for me but now i know what really happened. | 04:32 |

| reisio | S_sounds: night | 04:32 |
| distilledchaos | wheatthin: not quite sure what you mean in your comment about xserver-xorg | 04:33 |
| distilledchaos | not gnome 3 classic | 04:33 |
| wheatthin | newer versions of xserver might give you what you want instead of compiling something that didn't come in the ubuntu repos or ppa's | 04:34 |
| tucemiux | reisio, all i know is that nowadays im using XFCE and the thing is crashing but Ill use the software installer, i dont think i want to install mate or find out what it is | 04:34 |

| utusan | akurilin: you should use e1000e drivers | 04:36 |
| zugaaz | i have the nvidia.run file | 04:36 |
| wheatthin | yup best linux compadible | 04:36 |
| zugaaz | but i don't know how to install it | 04:36 |
| tucemiux | reisio, i just used the software center and installed what they have there, hopefully my machine will then be stable otherwise I'll be forced to restart from scratch with 12.04 | 04:37 |
| wheatthin | zugaaz, umm that's not supported here | 04:37 |
| reisio | tucemiux: I doubt it will be; like I said, Xfce is perfectly stable, so it's probably some other aspect of your distro acting up | 04:37 |
| wheatthin | zugaaz, as it's a proprietary driver | 04:37 |
| reisio | perhaps the extras that ubuntu studio installs | 04:37 |
| z0 | ubottu: | 04:39 |
| akurilin | utusan, what's the idea behind them? Are they supposed to work across most Intel ethernet controllers? | 04:39 |
| utusan | akurilin: not sure but try modprobe e1000 | 04:40 |

| distilledchaos | alright this has gone nowhere | 04:43 |
| distilledchaos | pretty sure libraries are not the right version... | 04:43 |
| distilledchaos | gettings things like too many arguments when trying to make | 04:43 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: confirm that they are incorrect, or not | 04:44 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, making them with sourced packages outside ubuntu repo's aren't supported | 04:44 |
| wheatthin | and I might add aren't recommended | 04:44 |
| holstein | ^^ that too. doing that means that you are OK going out on your own, support wise | 04:44 |
| distilledchaos | well i don't see any other options | 04:45 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, try a ppa that offers newer stuff | 04:45 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: the xswat ppa? you have that installed? | 04:46 |
| distilledchaos | nope. i take it i should? | 04:46 |
| holstein | i like ppa's, becuase its easier to remove the individual packages, or purge the ppa if things go wrong | 04:46 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: its a way to get the newer packages that may or may not "fix" whatever issue you are having | 04:46 |

| AlexLikeRock | Ubuntu's trademark policy prohibits commercial redistribution of exact copies of Ubuntu, denying an important freedom. | 04:48 |
| AlexLikeRock | As of October 2012, Ubuntu sends personal data about users' searches to a server belonging to Canonical, which sends back ads to buy things from Amazon. | 04:48 |
| AlexLikeRock | This does not, strictly speaking, affect whether Ubuntu is free software, but it is a violation of users' privacy. It also encourages buying from Amazon, a company associated with DRM as well as mistreatment of workers, authors and publishers. | 04:48 |
| AlexLikeRock | This adware is one of the rare occasions in which a free software developer persists in keeping a malicious feature in its version of a program. | 04:48 |
| holstein | AlexLikeRock: you have something support related you need help with? | 04:48 |
| ur0pl | sorry, i went to antoher room, and something happened | 04:49 |
| ur0pl | something hit my keyboard | 04:49 |

| AlexLikeRock | ubuntu go to evil | 04:49 |
| AlexLikeRock | now its friend of Micro$oft | 04:49 |
| holstein | AlexLikeRock: ? ubuntu is free.. you can try it live and see if you like/want it. you can remove what you are linking above.. do you have a support question? | 04:50 |

| AlexLikeRock | ? | 04:51 |
| holstein | AlexLikeRock: if you dont have a support question, please go to the offtopic channel | 04:51 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, what release do you have? | 04:51 |
| holstein | AlexLikeRock: canonnical is free to do what they are doing. and you are free to use it, or do *exatly* as ubuntu is doing, and make your own | 04:51 |
| distilledchaos | 13.04 | 04:52 |
| distilledchaos | xserver-xorg-video-displaylink is only available for 12.04 and 12.10 | 04:52 |
| distilledchaos | as far as i'm aware, that's the package i need | 04:52 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: then you'll need to use 12.04 | 04:52 |
| holstein | !12.04 | 04:52 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (Precise Pangolin) is the current !LTS release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.04/ - Release Info: http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/1204 | 04:52 |
| AlexLikeRock | policy prohibits commercial redistribution of exact copies of Ubuntu | 04:52 |
| holstein | its still supported | 04:52 |
| distilledchaos | yep. unfortunately, it doesn't have drivers for newer hardware i need | 04:52 |
| distilledchaos | 13.04 is the oldest version that supports most of the hardware | 04:53 |
| holstein | AlexLikeRock: so? whats the question? are you wanting to make a copy of ubunt and rebrand it? you can always ask for permission. but you can just build what you want from scratch | 04:53 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: sounds like you'll have to make some decisions... maybe dual boot | 04:53 |
| distilledchaos | one piece of hardware is for the display, 13.04 required, and the displaylink doesn't work on it | 04:54 |
| distilledchaos | if i dual boot i don't get dual monitors... | 04:54 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, check xserver-xorg-core | 04:54 |
| distilledchaos | for what...? | 04:54 |
| wheatthin | newer versions.. | 04:54 |
| holstein | i would add that ppa i mentioned as well, and test | 04:54 |
| AlexLikeRock | holstein, i can not do a project with ubuntu , like tails , black track , etc, etc | 04:54 |
| distilledchaos | of something related to displaylink? | 04:54 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, yup | 04:54 |
| holstein | AlexLikeRock: whats your question? | 04:55 |
| holstein | AlexLikeRock: back track is not ubuntu.. it might use ubuntu as the base | 04:55 |

| ur0pl | Ubuntu recognizes and can "ennumerate" my two usb "3.0/2.0" but it cannot do that with my 8 usb "2.0/1.0" slots on my gigabyte ud5 board. I do not understand, i thought ubuntu would be up to day with technology | 04:56 |
| holstein | ur0pl: i would run lspci and see what the hardware id's are.. i would be open to the fact that not all hardware is able to be supported out of the box by linux | 04:57 |
| distilledchaos | i don't understand how to check xserver-xorg-core | 04:57 |
| Ben64 | distilledchaos: what hardware do you have that is unsupported in 12.04? | 04:58 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, which version is currently installed, and check which is currently available as ppa | 04:58 |
| distilledchaos | Ben64: apple hardware >.> | 04:58 |
| distilledchaos | i got a macbook pro as a work computer | 04:58 |
| distilledchaos | and i need to dual boot ubuntu | 04:58 |
| holstein | !macbook | 04:59 |
| ubottu | For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 04:59 |
| Ben64 | distilledchaos: what specifically though? you can get the 13.04 kernel in 12.04 | 04:59 |
| distilledchaos | hmmm | 04:59 |
| distilledchaos | thunderbolt | 04:59 |
| distilledchaos | for display | 04:59 |
| distilledchaos | wouldn't 12.10 work too? | 04:59 |
| distilledchaos | xserver-xorg-video-displaylink is supported there was well, i believe | 04:59 |
| Ben64 | you might want to try the new kernel with 12.04 then, dunno if thats a xorg thing or a kernel thing | 04:59 |
| Ben64 | 12.04 is supported till 2017 | 04:59 |
| distilledchaos | i'm pretty sure it's a kernel thing | 05:00 |
| holstein | 12.04 is LTS.. i would use it instead of 12.10 if i had a choice | 05:00 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: confirm that it is, or not... | 05:00 |
| distilledchaos | i don't need lts | 05:00 |
| Ben64 | 12.10 is supported for... a while but 13.04 stops in January 2014, so ... yeah | 05:00 |
| === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest85290 | ||
| === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen | ||
| Ben64 | well if you want it to continue working properly, 12.04 is the best choice | 05:00 |
| ur0pl | holstein, it is gigabyte ud5, it is a very popular board | 05:00 |
| Ben64 | as long as it works with the newer kernel* | 05:00 |
| distilledchaos | how would i go about using the newer kernel with 12.04? | 05:01 |
| holstein | ur0pl: sure.. but he popularity is not the key.. ubuntu cant ask for support for it. it might need to have information or support from the vendor in order to work properly.. | 05:01 |
| distilledchaos | also, why is it a better choice than 12.10, besides long-term support? | 05:01 |
| Ben64 | thats the reason | 05:01 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: because 12.10 is EOL *much* sooner | 05:01 |
| distilledchaos | i just need it to last the summer | 05:02 |
| ur0pl | holstein, does ubuntu have better hardware support than xubuntu/ and this might work on that? | 05:02 |
| ur0pl | or maybe i can try 13.04 instead of 12.04? | 05:02 |
| Ben64 | why try to upgrade to 13.04, which doesn't support what you want, when 12.04 works till 2017 | 05:02 |
| holstein | ur0pl: xubuntu *is* ubuntu.. same kernel.. | 05:02 |
| reisio | ur0pl: and even GNU/Linux, all distros have the same hardware support, essentially | 05:02 |
| ur0pl | maybe 13.04 instead of 12.04 will support it | 05:02 |
| Ben64 | what kernel do you have running? (uname -a) | 05:02 |
| Ben64 | ur0pl: ^ | 05:02 |
| holstein | ur0pl: the versions can matter.. 12.04 instead of 13.04.. | 05:02 |
| distilledchaos | anyway, how do i get the newer kernel with 12.04? | 05:03 |
| Ben64 | i think it does it by default on new installs of 12.04 | 05:03 |
| ur0pl | holstein, i bet i could try to change a bios setting to fix this | 05:03 |
| distilledchaos | huh | 05:03 |
| ur0pl | maybe it is uefi? | 05:03 |

| === [ML]Neozonz is now known as Neozonz[ML] | ||
| holstein | distilledchaos: is this all for dual head support? | 05:07 |
| distilledchaos | pretty much | 05:07 |
| Ben64 | jony_easyrider: phpmyadmin isn't a server, its more like a web page... | 05:07 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: you shouldnt assume that that is a function that can be implemented on that hardware with drivers in linux | 05:07 |
| distilledchaos | for now i just want to get the displaylink adapter recognized | 05:08 |
| === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest71653 | ||
| === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen | ||
| distilledchaos | i'll deal with dual head support later | 05:08 |
| jony_easyrider | Ben64, ok, it would be similar help if I could check if cron it executes it's stored commands or not | 05:08 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: you have no graphics? | 05:08 |
| distilledchaos | holstein: ...? i do | 05:09 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: im just not clear on what the issue is.. you have graphics on the internal GPU on a macbook? and that is "displaylink" ? | 05:09 |
| distilledchaos | displaylink is a type of usb display adapter | 05:10 |
| distilledchaos | basically, this is my issue: http://askubuntu.com/questions/289018/how-do-to-install-the-display-drivers-for-a-displaylink-usb-monitor-on-13-04 | 05:10 |
| distilledchaos | but it's never been solved | 05:10 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: so, that is for dual head, then, correct? | 05:11 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, in osx does it act as intel and nvidia? | 05:11 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: according to what you linked, i might try the fedora live CD mentioned and make note of all the versions of everything relevant | 05:12 |
| jeff____ | i'm using a regular version of g xchat and it doesn't give me an option to connect to a server other than the ones listed. Does anyone know how to do that? | 05:12 |
| distilledchaos | holstein: one step at a time, just trying to get the adapter recognized first | 05:12 |
| distilledchaos | which is part of that question | 05:12 |
| distilledchaos | wheatthin: don't know? i would imagine it switches between each depending on power | 05:13 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: and, you tried the xswat ppa? | 05:13 |
| distilledchaos | yes | 05:13 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: no luck? | 05:13 |
| wheatthin | distilledchaos, those still aren't supported by linux I don't think | 05:13 |
| distilledchaos | wheatthin: what, displaylink? | 05:13 |
| user_ | anyone know how to save al live form to google drive | 05:13 |
| distilledchaos | holstein: i'm guessing i'd need to restart to see if it helped? | 05:14 |
| wheatthin | it's more than that | 05:14 |
| distilledchaos | wheatthin ? | 05:14 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: so, you havent tried the pacakges from the ppa then? | 05:14 |
| distilledchaos | i upgraded after adding the ppa | 05:14 |
| distilledchaos | but | 05:14 |
| distilledchaos | haven't installed any packages | 05:14 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: thats what i would do.. try the PPA.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade .reboot and try it | 05:14 |
| distilledchaos | i'll reboot then | 05:14 |
| distilledchaos | did the first two steps | 05:14 |
| holstein | distilledchaos: then, i would load that fedora live CD and see what they have in there by default | 05:15 |
| distilledchaos | k | 05:15 |
| wheatthin | it acts differently than displaylink | 05:15 |
| akurilin2 | wheatthin, utusan, apparently the new e1000e drivers seem to do the trick. Need to download them, build and replace the existing ones and it's good to go. | 05:17 |
| wheatthin | :) | 05:18 |
| wheatthin | akurilin2, | 05:18 |
| wheatthin | noo.. you can modprobe e100e | 05:18 |
| wheatthin | e1000e | 05:18 |

| benbloom | Ben64: is there a way to do it without rebooting? | 06:32 |
| Ben64 | benbloom: well yeah, just unmount the card | 06:32 |
| xrfang | Ben64, #kvm let me ask the "Ubuntu people" :( | 06:33 |
| xrfang | they said this problem is caused by "you are trying to install a graphics mode guest OS", but I am trying to install ubuntu server | 06:33 |
| xrfang | the server disc is in graphics mode? | 06:33 |
| Ben64 | xrfang: i'd recommend virtualbox or something for what it seems like you want to do | 06:33 |
| benbloom | it's my root FS Ben64 how would I unmount while running? | 06:34 |
| xrfang | also, is it possible to install the so called SDL driver | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | benbloom: how do you have a sd card as your root partition....? are you on ubuntu? | 06:34 |
| xrfang | Ben64, my purpose is to setup a VM development environment in pure TEXT mode | 06:34 |
| Ben64 | xrfang: ok? | 06:34 |
| benbloom | yup. I'm running 12.04 armhf on a trimslice microPC | 06:35 |
| Ben64 | you might want #ubuntu-arm then... but you should take the card out and fsck on another computer | 06:35 |
| DONKEEZ | how do make my backspace key go back one page in firefox | 06:36 |
| sebell | Ben64: if I already installed tor from the ppa:ubun-tor/ppa repository, should I uninstall it before getting it from the torproject repository? | 06:36 |
| Ben64 | DONKEEZ: it's the first link if you google for ---- backspace back firefox | 06:37 |
| xrfang | Ben64, I will try virtualbox | 06:37 |
| Ben64 | sebell: dunno, i don't use it | 06:37 |
| DONKEEZ | Ben64 thanks | 06:38 |
| DONKEEZ | link? | 06:38 |
| Ben64 | come on, learn to use google. it was the first link on the first query i tried based on what you want | 06:38 |
| benbloom | k Ben64. thanks for pointing me to arm support channel. I'll just have to wait until I can power down the unit and run fsck. | 06:39 |
| Asad2005 | When i issue date >> filename the date in filename is displayed ok but when doing the same thing in cron the output is like this "خ يون 20 01:02:05 AST 2013" is this an encoding issue? and how can it be resolved? | 06:42 |
| Ben64 | Asad2005: use a script | 06:44 |
| Tex_Nick | Ben64 : i think the ubottu factoid needs to be revised to reflect what you just stated ??? | 06:44 |
| Ben64 | Tex_Nick: clarification? | 06:44 |
| Tex_Nick | <Ben64> come on, learn to use google. it was the first link on the first query i tried based on what you want | 06:45 |
| Asad2005 | Ben64: a secript for just one command that is to put time stamp of a log inside text file? | 06:45 |
| Tex_Nick | as compared to !google | 06:45 |
| Tex_Nick | 06:45 | |
| ubottu | While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. | 06:45 |
| Ben64 | Tex_Nick: well that just says don't tell people to "google it", i said the exact query i used which gave the answer in the first result | 06:46 |
| Ben64 | i'm just not going to do all the work | 06:46 |
| Tex_Nick | Ben64 : yes sir i just meant that i think ubottu should say something more like USE GOOGLE ... ;-) | 06:48 |
| Ben64 | well i agree just telling people to google something without knowing the answer lies there is kind of rude | 06:48 |
| Asad2005 | its only the month name is not in english | 06:51 |
| jpds | Asad2005: date -R ? | 06:52 |
| Tex_Nick | Ben64 : ok and i have to say you're one of the most polite in this chan & most knowledgeable was a personal thought ... probably shouldn't have posted that | 06:52 |
| Ben64 | Tex_Nick: no its fine, don't worry | 06:52 |
| Hyperiant | I need some help getting good video drivers for my aging craptop; anyone willing to go to the trouble to help out? | 06:53 |
| THE_DUDEZ0R | suppose in the ddwrt router im connected to, my pc appears as foo-pc, and I want to change that in my system so the router displays someOtherName-pc, what exactly do i need to change? | 06:53 |
| reisio | what's the problem? | 06:54 |
| Hyperiant | The drivers I have don't seem to support OpenGL, and run very slow on things the laptop should be able to run well (it doesn't appear to use hardware acceleration in anything) | 06:54 |
| th0r | THE_DUDEZ0R, probably the computer's hostname | 06:54 |

| Smiche | Hello. I installed fglrx and now my graphic's got worse i used aticonfig to change the resolution but there are still some weird lines on the screen | 06:57 |
| Smiche | and Catalyst control center wouldnt start | 06:58 |
| Smiche | do I need to install any other packages except fglrx? Cause catalyst control center quits with an error saying that i have no gfx card drivers | 06:58 |
| Slart | energizer: I'll have a look.. give me a sec | 06:58 |
| Smiche | Also my compiz doesnt work anymore and the windows have weird buttons for minimizing resizing and quitting | 06:59 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: what laptop, what video card, which ubuntu? | 06:59 |
| Hyperiant | Toshiba Satellite M115-S1061, the internal card (I couldn't tell you what the exact info is without running a command I don't remember), Xubuntu 13.04 | 07:00 |
| energizer | Slart i can show you what i mean. where should i put the files? | 07:00 |
| Hyperiant | not having drivers is a general ubuntu issue though, right? | 07:00 |
| alexandergranase | I would not say drivers for ubuntu is an issue anymore | 07:00 |
| alexandergranase | It was a few years ago but it works a lot better nowadays | 07:01 |
| Hyperiant | Non-open-source drivers that support OpenGL for legacy integrated cards | 07:01 |
| Hyperiant | or, heck, open source is fine, as long as it functions properly | 07:01 |
| Smiche | Can some1 help me with my problem :X? | 07:02 |
| energizer | Slart Files are here http://ge.tt/8elSErj | 07:02 |
| energizer | its a small difference, but nonetheless | 07:02 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: lspci | grep -i vga | 07:02 |
| Hyperiant | Ben64: ATI RC410M [Mobility Radeon Xpress 200M | 07:04 |
| Slart | energizer: ah.. I was just going to ask you for that.. so far I've tried with a test suite for png files and those all worked nicely using convert.. I'll try your image | 07:04 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: :S not a very good chance of getting that working i fear | 07:04 |
| Hyperiant | It worked on Windows; the only reason I switched to Linux at all was because I'm told it runs faster | 07:05 |
| distilledchaos | I downgraded from 13.04 to 12.04, now the computer's internal display does not function, and the external monitor is at a lower, fixed resolution | 07:05 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: ati doesn't support their old cards on linux | 07:05 |
| reisio | distilledchaos: why'd you downgrade | 07:06 |
| energizer | Slart i put both the png and the pdf up there. I guess what I want is something that makes the text smoother in the pdf, because it looks weird when zoomed-out-- inconsistent line-widths, etc. | 07:06 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: run "lshw -C VIDEO" and see which driver is in use | 07:06 |
| distilledchaos | reisio: xserver-xorg-video-displaylink is only supported on 12.04 and 12.10 | 07:06 |
| distilledchaos | and i need it | 07:06 |
| Hyperiant | Ben64: driver=radeon | 07:07 |
| reisio | distilledchaos: what is it? | 07:09 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: from what i'm reading, that should do 3d | 07:09 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: try pastebinning the outputs of the following two commands... "dmesg | grep drm" and "LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo" | 07:10 |
| Hyperiant | what's that command that creates a pastebin out of a command? | 07:10 |
| kostkon | !info pastebinit | Hyperiant | 07:11 |
| ubottu | Hyperiant: pastebinit (source: pastebinit): command-line pastebin client. In component main, is optional. Version 1.3-4ubuntu1 (raring), package size 15 kB, installed size 172 kB | 07:11 |
| Slart | energizer: I can't really reproduce your results.. they look kind of the same when opened in an image-viewer and pdf-reader.. when I open them both in Gimp they look exactly the same so it might just be that your pdf-reader does something with the pdf | 07:11 |
| sudheera | Hi from where can I find feature request for ubuntu, I want to start contributing to ubuntu | 07:12 |
| energizer | Slart: oh holy shit you're right. In a different pdf viewer its way nicer... | 07:12 |
| reisio | sudheera: launchpad.net, methinks | 07:12 |
| kostkon | !contribute | sudheera | 07:12 |
| ubottu | sudheera: contribute is To contribute and help out with Ubuntu, see http://community.ubuntu.com and https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ContributeToUbuntu | 07:12 |

| somsip | reisio: hehe | 07:13 |
| Hyperiant | how do I use the pastebinit command in conjunction with a regular command? | 07:13 |
| Smiche | can some1 help me with finding the right drivers for my gfx card? | 07:13 |
| reisio | Hyperiant: regular | pastebinit, possibly | 07:13 |
| reisio | Hyperiant: or pastebinit $(regular) | 07:14 |
| somsip | !paste | Hyperiant | 07:14 |

| reisio | Smiche: ? | 07:14 |
| energizer | thanks slart | 07:14 |
| THE_DUDEZ0R | Hyperiant, you issue pastebinit /path/to/file | 07:14 |
| Smiche | the open source driver gets me GPU lockup CP stall sometimes and when i install fglrx from terminal the screen goes blurry with weird lines on the same resolution and compiz quits working | 07:14 |
| Smiche | now im trying to install the fglrx driver from amd's site that is for linux but it says it works for kernel 3.4 and mine is 3.5 | 07:15 |
| THE_DUDEZ0R | where file contains the text you want to pastebin. issue pastebinit --help for some options | 07:15 |
| Ben64 | Smiche: don't use the site, use the repository | 07:15 |
| Ben64 | !ati | Smiche | 07:15 |
| ubottu | Smiche: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 07:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Hyperbyte, command | pastebinit is correct | 07:15 |
| Slart | energizer: you're welcome | 07:16 |
| Smiche | my graphic's card isnt in the supported list | 07:17 |
| Hyperiant | Ben64: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5782799/ LIBGL_DEBUG=verbose glxinfo returns "glxinfo not installed" | 07:17 |
| safridzal | Smiche: paste here the result of this command: lspci -nn | grep VGA | 07:18 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: well that looks good. can you run "glxgears" ? you'll probably need to install something for that to work | 07:18 |
| Smiche | lspci -nn | grep VGA | 07:18 |
| Smiche | oops | 07:18 |
| Smiche | ATI RV670 [Radeon HD 3870] [1002:9501] | 07:18 |
| safridzal | on terminal | 07:18 |
| safridzal | afaik, you can use fglrx-legacy | 07:19 |
| Smiche | ye i keep forgetting ctrl+c doesnt work on terminal | 07:19 |
| safridzal | Smiche: you can block the text using mouse, and paste that text using middle click | 07:19 |
| safridzal | Smiche: open synaptic, reload, then search for fglrx legacy. | 07:20 |
| Smiche | should i first uninstall the driver i installed from amd's site? | 07:20 |
| energizer | Ctrl+Shift+C also copies in the terminal | 07:20 |
| Hyperiant | Ben64: glxgears runs | 07:21 |
| safridzal | yes.. if you've install the *****.run, you have to uninstall it first | 07:21 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: then you have 3d! | 07:21 |
| Smiche | i think i have to restart first | 07:23 |
| Smiche | brb | 07:23 |
| Hyperiant | Ben64: The issue isn't the inability to support 3D, it's the ability to use hardware acceleration and support the versions of OpenGL that are used to run games >< | 07:24 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: 3d = hardware acceleration | 07:24 |
| Hyperiant | Ben64: I was told radeon didn't support hardware acceleration, that's why fglrx is so much faster | 07:25 |
| Ben64 | you won't be able to game on it anyway | 07:26 |
| reisio | yeah... because there's no such thing as games that don't require excessive 3d | 07:26 |
| Ben64 | the Radeon Xpress 200M gets a benchmark score of 21 | 07:26 |
| reisio | or is that all 'game' as a verb means anymore? 3d gaming? :p | 07:26 |
| Smiche | how to find broken packages? | 07:26 |
| Hyperiant | I'm only looking to run stuff like Torchlight, which works at 30 FPS in XP, and Awesomenauts, which is a purely 2D game | 07:26 |
| reisio | Smiche: how do you know they're broken if you can't find them | 07:27 |
| Ben64 | compare that to my video card... the GeForce GTX 650TI ---- 2690 | 07:27 |
| reisio | awesomenauts is 2d? | 07:27 |
| Smiche | when i ran synaptic said theres one broken package | 07:27 |
| Ben64 | my card got 128 times higher of a score | 07:27 |
| reisio | hrmmm, maybe it is | 07:27 |
| Smiche | autormove would fix it? | 07:27 |
| reisio | Hyperiant: either it'll work or it won't, try | 07:27 |
| Smiche | i havent installed fglrx legacy just restarted after uninstall ***.run file | 07:28 |
| Smiche | and synaptic comes up with this error | 07:28 |
| kostkon | reisio, it's 2d looking 3d game like most of the 2d games nowadays | 07:28 |
| kostkon | a* | 07:28 |
| Hyperiant | reisio: Torchlight runs at a smooth 8 FPS before crashing on character select, and Awesomenauts refuses to even launch, though I blame buggy clients and poor drivers considering they worked just fine in XP | 07:29 |
| === me is now known as Guest59643 | ||
| reisio | I was getting it confused with the other 'nauts | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | Hyperiant: then maybe you should use windows xp? | 07:29 |
| reisio | Hyperiant: that's one way to approach it | 07:29 |
| reisio | me, I'd blame manufacturers that don't release decent drivers | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | ati cards aren't very supported | 07:29 |
| reisio | sure they are | 07:29 |
| reisio | but not all of them are 100% perfectly supported | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | old ones ati doesn't even want to hear about | 07:29 |
| reisio | you've found one | 07:29 |
| Ben64 | its like 10 years old | 07:30 |
| reisio | not all things are 100% perfectly supported on Windows XP, either | 07:30 |
| Ben64 | the fglrx driver no longer supports it | 07:30 |
| jpds | Ben64: Well, of course. | 07:30 |
| jpds | Ben64: You have to move on at some point. | 07:30 |
| Ben64 | yep | 07:30 |
| alexandergranase | I have abandoned amd and ati a long time ago, always issues with those two | 07:30 |
| alexandergranase | Intel and nvidia works a lot better i find always | 07:30 |
| Hyperiant | thing is, from the research I've done, fglrx worked for it a year or so ago; can't I use the old version of the driver to get decent drivers again? | 07:30 |
| Ben64 | amd cpus work great | 07:30 |
| Ben64 | you'd have to use an old version of ubuntu, which isn't supported | 07:31 |
| Hyperiant | might unsupported ubuntu still run those games? | 07:31 |
| reisio | Hyperiant: sure | 07:31 |
| Ben64 | if xp works, why try to fix something that isn't broken? | 07:31 |
| reisio | it's probably broken in other ways :p | 07:31 |
| Ben64 | well yeah, its windows xp | 07:31 |
| reisio | Hyperiant: do you know which version of fglrx? | 07:32 |
| Hyperiant | XP is a laggy, run-down, maniacal, bloated crapheap of an OS that takes 5 minutes to boot up on a clean install (and no, I don't know exactly the fglrx version, unfortunately) | 07:33 |
| Smiche | reisio i tried to install fglrx legacy and i got this error E: /var/cache/apt/archives/fglrx_2%3a8.960-0ubuntu1.1_amd64.deb: subprocess new pre-installation script returned error exit status 1 | 07:33 |
| reisio | Hyperiant: might be your next goal | 07:33 |
| === marlinc|away is now known as marlinc | ||
| Hyperiant | reisio: To the best of my knowledge, it looks like 8.543 is the version they dropped support in | 07:35 |
| Hyperiant | rather, they had support in that version, but dropped it in 8.6 | 07:35 |
| Hyperiant | Though I'm reading from another source that 9.3 still supported my chipset | 07:36 |
| Hyperiant | http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/linux/legacy/Pages/radeon_linux.aspx?type=2.7&product=2.7.4.3.3.3.1&lang=English And lo and behold, my chipset is listed there; I assume I have to downgrade before I try using this, though | 07:37 |
| === kenneth is now known as Guest34321 | ||

| Hyperiant | reisio: unfortunately, I have no PCI slot in my laptop | 07:40 |
| Smiche | heard of tweaks to make an external slot for a pci card but that would look bad | 07:41 |
| SeanHosie54 | Am I in the right place for some support? | 07:41 |
| reisio | you can open laptops, even though it's not always fun | 07:41 |
| reisio | SeanHosie54: quite possibly | 07:41 |
| SeanHosie54 | Im having trouble going to sites in my web browsers | 07:41 |
| Hyperiant | The best thing this has is a PCMCIA slot and I don't think you can get GPUs that fit that | 07:41 |
| SeanHosie54 | it wont let me check my hotmail | 07:42 |
| Hyperiant | SeanHosie54: What happens when you try to check it? | 07:42 |
| SeanHosie54 | just times out | 07:42 |
| Hyperiant | also, hotmail was shut down by microsoft earlier this year | 07:42 |

| auronandace | SeanHosie54: what version of ubuntu and what version of browser? | 07:45 |
| SeanHosie54 | 13.04 and latest for all browsers | 07:46 |
| auronandace | SeanHosie54: when you say latest do you mean ppas or what is in the official repos? | 07:46 |
| SeanHosie54 | from there website it was downloaded | 07:47 |
| auronandace | SeanHosie54: ppas are not supported here | 07:47 |
| SeanHosie54 | ? | 07:47 |
| auronandace | SeanHosie54: we can only support stuff that was installed via the official repos here | 07:48 |
| SeanHosie54 | it was downloaded from the ubuntu software center | 07:48 |
| ouran | hallo | 07:48 |
| auronandace | SeanHosie54: you just said you got it from their website | 07:48 |
| SeanHosie54 | only opera | 07:48 |
| SeanHosie54 | chome and firefox from ubuntu software center | 07:49 |
| auronandace | SeanHosie54: you mean chromium, not chrome | 07:49 |
| k1lled | chromium in software center | 07:49 |
| SeanHosie54 | yes | 07:49 |
| Smiche | reisio: I installed fglrx as you told me but now my screen looks odd - has some vertical white lines, and compiz effects have stopped working | 07:50 |
| reisio | as I told you to? | 07:50 |
| k1lled | chrome is better, download from official website | 07:50 |
| SeanHosie54 | is there a firewall Im unaware of? | 07:50 |
| reisio | chromium is better, use your package manager | 07:50 |
| Smiche | well you told me to install fglrx legacy from synaptic as a fix to my driver issues | 07:51 |
| SeanHosie54 | so can anyone help here? | 07:51 |

| SeanHosie54 | yer | 07:52 |
| SeanHosie54 | yes | 07:52 |

| Joe_DM | you can try changing you dns to somthin like google public DNS | 07:52 |
| Smiche | okay :S | 07:52 |
| SeanHosie54 | how | 07:54 |
| Joe_DM | edit /etc/resolv.conf | 07:54 |
| Joe_DM | any changes you make will be lost on reboot so its good for testing | 07:55 |
| Joe_DM | replace the line "nameserver x.x.x.x" with "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | 07:55 |
| Joe_DM | when I say any changes made are lost on reboot I should add that is only if you have resolvcon installed | 07:56 |
| Joe_DM | which ubuntu does by default | 07:56 |
| SeanHosie54 | I dont know this is giving me the shitts going to just re-install | 07:56 |
| Joe_DM | why reinstall | 07:57 |
| SeanHosie54 | it was working fine before | 07:57 |
| Joe_DM | what exactly is the problem, I just got here?/ | 07:57 |
| SeanHosie54 | could conky cause browser probs? | 07:58 |

| Baribal | Hi. I've tried doing "sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386", but dpkg says "dpkg: error: unknown option --add-architecture". Neither man page nor dpkg --help know of --add-architecture. I'm using 1.16.1.2ubuntu7.1 and there doesn't seem to be an update for Precise. Any idea what to do? | 08:32 |
| === versi is now known as kalkov | ||
| somsip | Baribal: what is leading you to need to do that? | 08:33 |
| Baribal | somsip, the need to use Skype. | 08:34 |
| llutz | Baribal: according to dpkg changelog, it was added with 1.16.2 | 08:34 |
| somsip | Baribal: I've never heard of that. Most people just install the Skype package and it works (mostly). It did for me. How are you installing Skype? | 08:34 |
| somsip | Baribal: Note that the Ubuntu dpkg in natty (1.16.0~ubuntu7 (reports 1.15.8.10)), oneiric and precise (1.16.1.2ubuntu7) uses a different syntax: http://is.gd/osQeGA | 08:37 |
| pikey5 | hallow!! i installed idle-python27 on my ubuntu 13.04,wondering howto make .py file right-click-open-with-idle possible ? | 08:38 |
| Baribal | somsip, I assume that I have to add some repositories, 'cause by defaut there is no skype package in Precise. | 08:38 |
| Biomechd | hey guys, i'm trying to use an online program called audiotool but it says that i need flash player to view it. i have flash installed because i can watch youtube and stuff, though. how do i fix this? | 08:39 |
| wsnipex | skype is in the canonical partner repo | 08:40 |
| pikey5 | why not just go to the official website and download it? | 08:42 |
| somsip | Baribal: like wsnipex says, just enable the Partner repo | 08:42 |

| somsip | *busier | 08:45 |
| bathman | and the 8.04 will be residing in the tar | 08:45 |
| Ben64 | doesn't matter, 8.04 is still not supported | 08:46 |
| bathman | somsip : ic, forgot about that | 08:46 |
| Ben64 | it's over 5 years old | 08:46 |
| somsip | bathman: but likely you'll hit the official response which is, !eol | 08:46 |

You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 08:57 |

| azertyui | is it possible to install ubuntu on windows using qemu ? | 09:18 |
| reisio | azertyui: yup | 09:19 |
| gordonjcp | azertyui: should be, it'll run in any virtualisation container | 09:19 |
| azertyui | if yes how reisio | 09:19 |
| reisio | azertyui: exactly as the qemu docs say | 09:19 |

| azertyui | well let me explain what i have done i start download qemu from here http://lassauge.free.fr/qemu/release/Qemu-1.4.2-windows.zip then ubuntu server iso http://releases.ubuntu.mirrors.uk2.net//precise/ubuntu-12.04.2-server-i386.iso | 09:21 |
| reisio | azertyui: why do you want to use qemu? | 09:22 |
| azertyui | then i put the iso on qemu folder | 09:22 |
| Ben64 | uh, this isn't qemu support | 09:22 |
| Ben64 | !qemu | 09:22 |

| reisio | azertyui: why do you want to use qemu? | 09:24 |
| mathnode | virtualbox on windows would provide you a faster Ubuntu Server Experience™ | 09:24 |
| Ben64 | azertyui: this isn't qemu support, that is located at irc.oftc.net #qemu | 09:24 |
| azertyui | qemu is better known for emulator os | 09:24 |
| azertyui | that's why i would like to use qemu | 09:24 |
| reisio | azertyui: mmm, I don't know that it is | 09:24 |
| Ben64 | thats fine, just go to the qemu support | 09:24 |
| reisio | VirtualBox will be faster, as mathnode says | 09:24 |
| reisio | and also much simpler to use | 09:24 |
| azertyui | virtualbox is for dummy | 09:25 |
| reisio | on a _Unix host_ qemu/kvm will be faster and easier to use, though :) | 09:25 |
| reisio | azertyui: even if that is so, it'll be faster than qemu | 09:25 |

| Ashael | hmm, now it found the networks | 10:07 |
| Ashael | but they are all very weak | 10:07 |
| Ashael | ~30%, should be about 80% or more. | 10:07 |
| sweettea | I believe I have updated flash yes | 10:08 |
| sweettea | mathnode: because this is a desktop machine? | 10:08 |
| mathnode | I mean in general, the scope of media delivered through the intrawebs. I can't remember what provoked me to install it. Probably cat videos. | 10:08 |
| sweettea | plenty of media comes in flash format | 10:09 |
| mathnode | There was a cool flash game that came with the last Humble Indie Bundle that was flash, and thus cross platform. Insidios 2 or something. | 10:09 |

| gordonjcp | Ashael: your phone might be showing RSSI rather than S/N | 10:14 |

| TakumoKatekari | Hi All,I have a problem where Gvim isn't working, it just brings up a grey square which I can't kill or do anything to... | 10:54 |
| TakumoKatekari | I happened when I upgraded from 12.10 to 13.04 | 10:54 |
| sere | Ashael: run lsmod and see if b43 is there | 10:54 |
| Ashael | yup :( | 10:55 |
| adeebnqo | TakumoKatekari: you can't even kill it via the terminal? | 10:55 |
| Ashael | there are also bcma and ssb | 10:56 |
| Ashael | which may also be part of it | 10:56 |
| sere | Ashael: ok lets do this : sudo rmmod b43 && modprobe bmca && modprobe brcmsmac && modprobe brcmutil | 10:57 |
| Ashael | Module b43 is not currently loaded | 10:58 |
| sere | Ashael: ok skip that then | 10:58 |

| monoman | command line without X | 10:58 |
| monoman | it seems fun to use it that way! | 10:59 |
| sere | Ashael: b43 is probably being started at boot because of the old driver.. in any case we can just blacklist it so it doesnt start on boot | 10:59 |
| Ashael | sere: no change. | 10:59 |
| monoman | but I still need to figure out some comman line commands | 10:59 |

| monoman | Is there a way to remove unneeded packages from apt-get other than the usual apt-get autoremove or apt-get purge? | 11:00 |
| jrib | monoman: apt-get autoremove is what you want. Before that feature was implemented, there was deborphan. Why do you ask? | 11:01 |
| monoman | because I was messing with my ubunut server and I believe I installed a lot of unneeded dependencies | 11:01 |
| sere | Ashael: go ahead and sudo rmmod ssd : from what im reading that could affect it too | 11:02 |
| Ashael | ssd or ssb? | 11:02 |
| sere | Ashael: ssb :) | 11:02 |
| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:02 |
| monoman | I've got another question, how can I play sounds on Ubuntu server? I installed alsa-utils and tried aplay but I got an error | 11:03 |
| === crond- is now known as crond | ||
| Ashael | sere: no change. I'm afraid I have to log off now, so thank you very much for all the help. I'll come back when I have the time. | 11:04 |
| monoman | So, does playing sounds needs X to be installed?? | 11:04 |
| Ashael | bye | 11:04 |
| sere | Ashael: ok have a good one.. your welcome :) | 11:05 |
| monoman | Sorry if I repeat my question but I'm not sure it was sent in the first place: does playing sounds require X to be installed?? | 11:06 |
| jrib | monoman: if you installed packages you no longer want, then just remove them. If you install a package, apt will assume you want it | 11:06 |
| monoman | Thanks jrib, I removed the packages that I installed myself, but will autoremove remove all the unneeded dependencies?? | 11:07 |
| jrib | monoman: that is how it should work, yes | 11:07 |
| monoman | jrib: good. Thanks :) So, do you know any way to play sounds (or even simple beep) using ubuntu server command line? | 11:08 |
| gordonjcp | monoman: play | 11:09 |
| jrib | monoman: sorry, I haven't done that in a long time. I don't remember needing to do anything special though | 11:09 |
| monoman | gordonjcp: will that play audio files or beep? | 11:09 |
| monoman | and why the character /a (which should be bell) doesn't play any sound on ubuntu server 12.04? | 11:10 |
| jrib | monoman: your / is backwards :) | 11:11 |

| Layke | Is there a command to "pause" terminal. Basically, I'm running something that pipe lots of output to screen | 11:41 |
| Layke | I want to stop it so I can read momentairly, and resume every so often | 11:41 |
| k1l_ | casshern: keep it to english in here please or join the spanish channel | 11:42 |

| ubottu | casshern: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 11:42 |
| bgardner | Layke: Ctrl+S to pause, Ctrl+Q to resume | 11:42 |
| casshern | ok thanks | 11:42 |
| reisio | Layke: pause key | 11:42 |
| th0r | Layke, haven't used it in decades, but ctrl S and ctrl Q used to do the job. And you know you can pipe to less as well | 11:42 |
| trueif | i have a Problem.i recently installed an nvidia driver from ppa(i don't know remember the version)and also installed the latest nvidia driver from nvidia website.i did that because i had problems with resolution.In adddition i modified /etc/X11/Xorg.0.log and now when i boot it comes with the logo but then it shows a blank screen and i can't do nothing! | 11:42 |

| MickS | Layke: or run it in screen or script, so you can read/scroll back | 11:43 |
| trueif | also my laptop is a sony vaio and it came with hybrid gpu,an intel + nvidia | 11:43 |
| Layke | Yeah, I thought Ctrl+Q would do it. For some reason it isn't when I am SSH'ed in to a remote host. (I assumed that suspend/resume would be to do with your local terminal, but I guess it's the actual environment.. *shrugs* | 11:44 |
| Layke | I'll pip and less perhaps if that works. | 11:44 |
| MickS | Layke: for remote jobs I can advise screen... then the job will continue even if your ssh connection drops, and you can pick up the terminal window when you re-login | 11:45 |
| casshern | danke, see ya | 11:45 |
| MickS | Layke: (just be sure to start the screen on the remote server of course) | 11:46 |

| reisio | trueif: not especially | 11:50 |
| trueif | then what? | 11:51 |
| trueif | i believe that if i could unistall the nvidia drivers | 11:51 |
| MickS | trueif: the output might give you an idea what is wrong | 11:51 |
| trueif | then the problem would be solved | 11:51 |

| ActionParsnip | trueif: what GPU do you use? | 11:52 |
| trueif | nvidia gt 640m le | 11:53 |
| reisio | trueif: X runs on tty7, (CTRL+ALT+F7), try using CTRL+ALT+F2 | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | trueif: is it a lapto pwith a hybrid / switchable GPU? | 11:53 |
| trueif | yes | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | trueif: try the boot option: nouveau.blacklist=1 | 11:53 |
| ActionParsnip | trueif: you will need to look into bumblebee to manage that mess | 11:53 |
| trueif | external monitor did not work and i make the mistake to download the driver from website | 11:53 |
| trueif | yeah but i first i must go to the terminal | 11:54 |
| trueif | can you tell me the command that removes all the nvidia related? | 11:54 |
| trueif | it's purge something.. | 11:54 |
| trueif | i can't remember | 11:54 |
| MickS | apt-get purge <packagename> | 11:56 |
| trueif | so, sudo apt-get purge nvidia* ? | 11:56 |
| trueif | i want to remove all nvidia related | 11:56 |
| MickS | should do the trick | 11:56 |
| trueif | it's true that 32 bit offers better battery compared to 64 bit? | 11:57 |
| reisio | trueif: not that I'm aware of | 11:58 |
| ActionParsnip | trueif: sudo apt-get --purge remove `dpkg -l | grep nvidia | grep -v nvidia-common | awk {'print $2'}` | 11:59 |
| trueif | that's a lot stuff :D | 11:59 |

| testtoor | can the live cd help me? | 13:13 |
| testtoor | i want to unistall all nvidia related things | 13:14 |
| Kuroshita | hey guys, just looking for a simple way to get scripts to start on startup in ubuntu server | 13:15 |
| acerimmer | testtoor, sounds like ubuntu is thoroughly confused with the display drivers. My suggestion is to do PPA purge and see if you can then reconfigure . Try booting to the command line so you can get control. | 13:15 |
| testtoor | why can i do that | 13:15 |
| testtoor | how* | 13:15 |
| testtoor | recovery mode does not work in graphical mode | 13:16 |
| BluesKaj | testtoor, purging nvidia is probly a good thing to do since you have conflicting drivers installed | 13:16 |
| acerimmer | testtoor, which is why I suggested command line | 13:17 |
| testtoor | yeah,but how can i go to the command line | 13:17 |
| BluesKaj | he can't get to a tty | 13:17 |
| acerimmer | BluesKaj, can you advise him on this. over my head | 13:17 |
| BluesKaj | acerimmer, you're correct but he needs to reinstall ...it's the best course of action | 13:18 |
| testtoor | no!!!! | 13:18 |
| testtoor | i hate reinstall | 13:18 |
| testtoor | it must be a way other than that | 13:19 |
| BluesKaj | testtoor, as much as you hate a blank screen that doesn't respond | 13:19 |
| testtoor | i can change that i can paint it bluie | 13:19 |
| testtoor | blue* | 13:19 |
| testtoor | :D | 13:19 |
| acerimmer | testtoor, be a man/woman and take your medicine. None of LIKES to reinstall but sometimes it's the only way ... | 13:20 |
| testtoor | you like blue eh? :D | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | have you tried holding the shift key down after the bios screen , testtoor , to bring upo grub ? | 13:20 |
| testtoor | i can go to grub but what can i do from there | 13:20 |
| BluesKaj | !nomodeset | testtoor | 13:20 |
| ubottu | testtoor: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 13:20 |
| testtoor | yeah,i don't understand a thing | 13:22 |
| testtoor | BluesKaj, maybe a little | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | testtoor, then you can remove the nvidia drivers that don';t work for you , and checj the recommended ones in additional drivers. | 13:23 |
| testtoor | BluesKaj, yeah the thing is that i did not have any drivers in addition drivers | 13:23 |
| testtoor | Never | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | testtoor, then use nvidia-current driver , sudo apt-get install nvidia-current , once you get to a tty or terminal | 13:24 |
| testtoor | BluesKaj, yeah the thing is i can't go to tty or terminal | 13:25 |
| BluesKaj | if you use the nomodeset setting in grub , you might , testtoor..maybe even your desktop | 13:25 |
| bmxscott1993 | i got a problem it when i boot up my computer the ubuntu logo not there just purple screen with like now how old tv have that static snow screen i get a line in the middle of the screen where the ubuntu logo meant to be | 13:27 |
| testtoor | BluesKaj, i'll go with me good luck | 13:27 |
| testtoor | thanks | 13:27 |
| BluesKaj | read the tutorial about nomodeset , a few times , you'll figure it out | 13:27 |
| mjayk | bmxscott1993: can you go to tty1? | 13:27 |
| acerimmer | bmxscott1993, new install? | 13:27 |
| testtoor | BluesKaj, i got it | 13:28 |
| bmxscott1993 | but it login screen clean with not static but only on boot up and log off | 13:28 |
| bmxscott1993 | yes newer install and what do you mean tty1 | 13:30 |
| acerimmer | bmxscott1993, boot to recovery mode and use the command line = tty /// I suggest you reboot and try booting and older version of ubuntu at the grub menu. Maybe a kernel upgrade scrambled things up | 13:32 |
| bmxscott1993 | but just reinstalled the ubuntu using my own dvd and got the iso off the website | 13:33 |
| bmxscott1993 | ok | 13:33 |

| === mmrazik|afk is now known as mmrazik | ||
| acerimmer | bmxscott1993, every kernel upgrade means the "older" kernel | 13:34 |

| acerimmer | bmxscott1993, it's still 12.04 but with earlier kernels. | 13:34 |
| bmxscott1993 | did not no thank | 13:35 |
| acerimmer | bmxscott1993, no worries, mate. | 13:35 |
| kraM | Hi there. I need to install linux-generic-lts-raring in a 12.04. Reboot. Need to mount an iso. mount -o loop /path/to/.iso /mnt -> mount: you must specify the filesystem type | 13:35 |
| kraM | Does anybody know something about that? | 13:35 |
| MonkeyDust | kraM try a chroot | 13:35 |
| kraM | What would that chroot be for? | 13:36 |
| kraM | chroot /mnt /bin/bash failes with no /bin/bash. which bash -> /bin/bash. | 13:36 |
| MonkeyDust | kraM depends on what you want to do | 13:37 |
| MonkeyDust | ok, or try furius, a GUI to mount iso's | 13:37 |
| jluc | Hello all, | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | kraM: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 13:37 |
| jluc | How can i switch off the CTRL+SHIFT+DRAG keyboard option that now brings a window close to the screen border ? | 13:37 |
| jluc | I want to use this shortcut for Gimp. | 13:37 |
| ActionParsnip | jluc: disable the grid plugin in compiz | 13:38 |
| jluc | thanks ActionParsnip i will look for that | 13:38 |
| kraM | Complete story: I need to build things using docker. docker requires at least uname -r >= 3.8. That needs to run in with Vagrant, and to support mount and port forwards I need to install VBoxGuestAdditions for the raring kernel. -- This is a iso file which I cannot mount after rebooting into the raring kernel (3.8.0-25). | 13:38 |
| bgardner | kraM: 'sudo mount -o loop,ro -t iso9660 isoimage /mnt/wherever' | 13:38 |
| kraM | bgardner: Wrong filesystem. Same file mounts fine within Arch. | 13:39 |
| ActionParsnip | kraM: try a GUI app, just for laughs | 13:39 |
| bgardner | kraM: I'm with ActionParsnip - did you MD5 test the ISO yet? | 13:40 |
| kraM | bgardner: No, one second. | 13:40 |
| kraM | Hm. I introduced a stupid bug in the provisioning script. Thanks guys. | 13:43 |
| erik__ | Hi. Is it possible to load grub instead of refit on a macbook pro? | 13:43 |

| zeryuio | is it possible to convert apt to wget ? | 13:55 |
| andreas | hi there | 13:57 |
| zeryuio | is it possible to convert apt to wget ? | 13:57 |
| somsip | zeryuio: you could wget a deb and install it, but otherwise your question doesn't really make sense | 13:57 |
| MonkeyDust | zeryuio or create an alias | 13:57 |
| zeryuio | alias for what ? MonkeyDust | 13:58 |
| zeryuio | ok let me introduce my issue | 13:58 |
| zeryuio | i try to download something apt but not working but using wget it's working | 13:59 |
| andreas | i've installed active mq on an ubuntu machine using apt-get. Now i face the problem that i can not start it. I've already opened a stack overflow ticket at: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/17189053/how-to-start-activemq-on-an-ec2-ubuntu-machine . Has someone faced that problem before or a similiar one ? | 13:59 |
| k1l_ | zeryuio: please pastbinit the problem | 13:59 |
| zeryuio | so what port is used by apt and port used by wget ? | 13:59 |

| MonkeyDust | zeryuio use apt to install from the repos, use wget to download from the internet | 13:59 |
| zeryuio | i said my proxy server blocking | 13:59 |
| zeryuio | apt install but allow wget | 14:00 |
| zeryuio | so my question | 14:00 |
| zeryuio | is may be how to change port of apt to give same as wget | 14:00 |
| zeryuio | to able to work with apt as usual | 14:00 |
| bgardner | zeryuio: You're getting ahead of yourself. Show us the error that apt gives you. | 14:00 |
| zeryuio | there is no error | 14:01 |

| zeryuio | i got uubuntu server edition | 14:04 |

| bgardner | zeryuio: Scroll down to the section that says "Terminal Proxy" | 14:04 |
| zeryuio | simply tell me | 14:05 |
| zeryuio | how i can able to download using wget and don't using apt ? | 14:05 |
| ActionParsnip | zeryuio: do you use a proxy for web access? | 14:07 |
| queen_lee | halo | 14:07 |
| zeryuio | yes | 14:07 |
| bgardner | zeryuio: To make apt-get use your proxy: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5783756/ | 14:07 |
| ActionParsnip | zeryuio: then you need to specify it in /etc/apt/apt.conf | 14:10 |

| arvut | thats what I thought | 14:58 |
| dsathe | BAMbanda: welcome back :) hope this does it | 14:58 |

| BAMbanda | thanks for all the help. I really like ubuntu, tremendously. Its my OS of choice, I just want everything to go smooth :/ | 14:58 |
| arvut | and in there I can resize them? will parted do the job? | 14:58 |

| BAMbanda | dsathe: do you guys use bitcoins by any chance? I want to start giving little compensation for help I recieve | 14:59 |
| arvut | will the disktools included in ubuntu do the job? or should I work with fdisk/parted in terminal? | 15:00 |
| ActionParsnip | arvut: liveCD for you then, be sure to run a full backup before you start in case of catastrophe | 15:00 |

| linguini | To answer my own question: visit http://dev.mysql.com/doc/ to download; ubuntu does not include the mysql documentation for licensing reasons. | 15:08 |

| ActionParsnip | sam_help: how did you install the app requesting the file? | 15:22 |
| sam_help | SteveBell: well, I think you mean a drive that has an ext4 partition on it. What you need to do is resize the existing EXT4 partition to take up half the drive, which will make half the drive empty space. Then create an extra ext4 partition in the empty space | 15:22 |
| sam_help | Action: I fixed this problem now by installing apt-get install zlibc:i386 etc | 15:23 |

| steve__ | does anyone have experience configuring request tracker, specifically 'RT_SiteConfig.d'? | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | madprops: skype is proprietary, so not free | 16:09 |
| phillustine | philinux, thanks. | 16:09 |
| Lebby | madprops: there is not a version of skype that is free | 16:09 |
| madprops | i know | 16:09 |
| Jayar | anyone else having issues with 13.04 | 16:09 |
| madprops | why can't people into free im clients | 16:09 |

| madprops | or empathy? | 16:10 |
| madprops | which is best | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | madprops: because its a proprietary protocol, so the only people who can make it is skype | 16:10 |
| legion59 | LOVE PIDGON | 16:10 |
| Lebby | madprops: yes as im, not as "full featured skype" | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | madprops: none are 'best' | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | madprops: its like asking 'what is the best colour?' its nonsense | 16:10 |
| madprops | in your opinion it might be | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | madprops: doesnt make it the best | 16:10 |
| philinux | phillustine: watch out for any gpg key errors after install. I had to manually sort that too. Although I have to say my acer 1410 was never slow so. | 16:10 |

| Lebby | madprops: http://askubuntu.com/questions/15358/can-i-use-skype-through-empathy | 16:14 |
| X-Sleepy-X | Jayar: Ubuntu does tend to run a bit slower in a live-session. | 16:14 |
| phillustine | ActionParsnip, just in the process of doing that. does it make a lot of difference to performance? | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | phillustine: have you tried the 2D session from the login screen (obviously let the updates finish and reboot if needed) | 16:15 |
| phillustine | ActionParsnip, i never usually update. not sure why. | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | phillustine: updates fix bugs and issues, may also get newer drivers and even a new kernel | 16:15 |
| Lebby | phillustine: yes, updating can improve perfomance | 16:15 |
| agrester | Hello all, I have a pretty serious issue, running 13.04 and the last kernel update seems to have knocked out my computer, I see the boot splash screen but it boots to a blank screen without any TTY access or anything... | 16:16 |

| ActionParsnip | agrester: if you boot the old kernel is it ok? | 16:16 |
| agrester | ActionParsnip, how do I get to the GRUB screen? | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | agrester: hold SHIFT at boot | 16:17 |
| Serpiente | what's the difference between `su user` and `sudo -su user`? | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Serpiente: su user will need the user's pass you are su'ing to | 16:17 |
| jrib | Serpiente: one is a valid command and the other is not | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | Serpiente: sudo su user will need your user's pass and assumes you are in the sudo group | 16:18 |
| jrib | Serpiente: never mind, I misread | 16:18 |
| Lebby | :D | 16:18 |
| agrester | ActionParsnip, the kernel is 3.8.0-26-generic, I think it's bad | 16:18 |
| Serpiente | su user will only require if I am not root right? | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | agrester: try the older kernel and we can progress | 16:19 |
| X-Sleepy-X | agrester: isn't 3.8.0-25-generic the latest from regular upgrades? | 16:19 |
| agrester | ActionParsnip, ok | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Serpiente: if you are root and su to another user youwill become that user, as root is all powerful | 16:19 |
| jrib | Serpiente: « su - user » (it is good practice to call it this way so env gets reset) is exactly the same as user logging in. If however you do something like « sudo -i -u user » then you are acting using sudo. It prompts for the password of your sudo user and you don't need tho password of "user" | 16:19 |
| madprops | ActionParsnip, PIDGIN CLOSES WHEN I TRY TO SKYPE WHAT IS THIS | 16:20 |
| agrester | X-Sleepy-X, it might be, but I don't know how it was updated, I think I might have used the proposed option in the Update Sources, I'll have to check, but then ActionParnsip will have to walk me through rolling back to the stable kernel | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | madprops: WHY ARE WE TYPING IN CAPS? WHAT DOES IT ACHIEVE? | 16:20 |
| jrib | Serpiente: and again, I modified your "sudo -su user" to "sudo -i -u user" because it is good practice to reset the environment | 16:20 |
| madprops | ActionParsnip, BECAUSE SEG FAULT | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | madprops: take your finger off shift, pok? | 16:21 |

| ActionParsnip | Serpiente: do you use proprietary video driver? | 16:22 |
| angs | ActionParsnip, thanks | 16:22 |
| agrester | ActionParsnip, X-Sleepy-X, the strange thing is that this problem happened after I tried to restart networking, I was attempting to setup a VirtualBox Ubuntu Server so I could do some development and testing, I restarted networking using one of the RC.D scripts and then the problems started happening | 16:22 |
| Serpiente | ActionParsnip: what makes you think that? no video driver at all *gg* ubuntu 12.04 as a server | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | Serpiente: so no xorg ? | 16:23 |

| BluesKaj | jpmh, what exactly do you mean by your LAN IP , that's the same as your router IP , which is the gateway IP , or route -n | 17:08 |
| bmxscott1993 | read up that it called a splash screen | 17:08 |
| X-Sleepy-X | jpmh: you gonna like this: hostname -I | 17:08 |
| usr13 | bmxscott1993: What you really mean is that the desktop is not complete after login. Right? | 17:08 |
| usr13 | X-Sleepy-X: -i ? | 17:09 |
| zero2XIII | BlueKaj, he wants to display his computers local IP (inetadr in ifconfig) | 17:09 |
| bmxscott1993 | no it all good and fine just when booting up it meant to come up with the ubuntu loading screen then to login | 17:09 |
| X-Sleepy-X | usr13: capital i | 17:09 |
| gordonjcp | bmxscott1993: if it's just during boot, ignore it | 17:10 |

| phillustine | ikonia, many tanks. | 17:29 |
| Kai_p_IE | ikonia, sorry yeah | 17:29 |
| ikonia | Kai_p_IE: ok, so the issue is "When I the screen saver starts, the on screen keyboard appears on screen" | 17:30 |
| Kai_p_IE | ikonia, Yeah sorry | 17:30 |
| ikonia | Kai_p_IE: ok - so when it pops up, is it useable ? | 17:30 |
| Kai_p_IE | no ikonia i am on a laptop with a working keyboard so i have no need for it | 17:31 |
| armin | is there a way to define a keyboard shortcut to cycle through the windows of an open application without display the task switcher in that case? | 17:31 |
| ikonia | Kai_p_IE: I didn't ask if you had need for it - I asked if it worked | 17:31 |
| zero2XIII | armin: for what application? | 17:31 |
| armin | like you have a few terminal windows open and all you want is cycle through them and display them and not having to focus on the task switcher. | 17:31 |
| armin | zero2XIII: any application. | 17:31 |
| armin | that feature would really increase the user experience i think. | 17:32 |
| zero2XIII | armin: I only know if the application supports it, eg firefox, some terminal emulators support that function | 17:32 |
| === smithkm_ is now known as smithkm | ||
| armin | zero2XIII: you're thinking away from the origin. | 17:32 |
| armin | zero2XIII: but thank you. | 17:33 |
| zero2XIII | armin: explain? | 17:33 |
| armin | zero2XIII: i mean i really want that feature to integrate with the unity taskswitcher, not a workaround. | 17:33 |
| zero2XIII | armin: if you have multiple screens open of one application the unity switcher DOES allow you to switch between windows | 17:34 |
| benbloom | ikonia: dmesg says "EXT4-fs (sdi): VFS: Can't find ext4 filesystem" | 17:34 |
| armin | zero2XIII: i never had any doubt to that. | 17:34 |
| ikonia | benbloom: what command are you using exactly to mount it | 17:34 |
| armin | zero2XIII: what i'm looking for is simply switching to the other windows, WITHOUT displaying the switcher. | 17:35 |
| armin | zero2XIII: think of the behaviour that fluxbox has for example. | 17:35 |
| benbloom | sudo mount -t ext4 /dev/sdi /mnt/HDHD2 | 17:35 |
| ikonia | benbloom: that's a disk - not a partition | 17:35 |
| ikonia | benbloom: you need to mount the partition | 17:36 |
| ikonia | benbloom: eg: sdi1 | 17:36 |
| armin | zero2XIII: thing is, that you can create seperate keyboard bindings to switch through windows of just the current application and also for iterating through ALL applications. i use the former a lot to cycle through the terminal sessions i have open. | 17:36 |
| benbloom | mount: special device /dev/sdi1 does not exist | 17:36 |
| armin | zero2XIII: so basically for me it is VERY disturbing to always end up in the switcher, having to find my terminal windows there, and so on. | 17:36 |
| X-Sleepy-X | armin: why not just use tabs? | 17:36 |
| armin | zero2XIII: it's WAY easier to remember where a terminal window resides on your deskopt, and simply switch to that. | 17:36 |
| ikonia | benbloom: ok - so this is bad, it looks like there is no partitions/parttiion table on this device | 17:36 |
| armin | X-Sleepy-X: because it's a different feature. | 17:37 |
| ikonia | benbloom: what has happened to this disk ? | 17:37 |
| zero2XIII | armin: I see, give me second, my system does exactly what you are saying when I do shift+tab | 17:37 |
| armin | X-Sleepy-X: there are PLENTY of situations where you need multiple terminals displaying their content at the same time, especially when coding. | 17:37 |
| benbloom | ikonia: it's a bit old? according to SMART it has "184 End-to-End_Error" | 17:38 |
| ikonia | benbloom: but has something actually happened to it ? | 17:38 |
| ikonia | benbloom: or is it just failing because it's old | 17:38 |
| armin | zero2XIII: basically i would even use the "Static Application Switcher" plugin in ccsm if it wouldn't crash when trying to enable it, but the whole compiz stack is just one broken buggy mess. | 17:39 |
| benbloom | no. it just suddenly disappeared from my system and when i tried to mount it i got 'no partition table' | 17:39 |
| benbloom | ikonia: no. it just suddenly disappeared from my system and when i tried to mount it i got 'no partition table' | 17:39 |
| ikonia | benbloom: run "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdi" check if there is a partition table, but it sounds like the disk is just failing | 17:39 |
| zero2XIII | armin: I was just about to suggest it, that is what I use. | 17:39 |
| zero2XIII | armin: however, mine is not really buggy? | 17:40 |
| armin | zero2XIII: hmmm. | 17:40 |
| zero2XIII | armin: also I set up window groups | 17:40 |
| armin | maybe i get it to work with some weird combinations of clicking around in that weird ccsm thing. | 17:40 |
| zero2XIII | so I can switch INSIDE a group... | 17:40 |
| armin | zero2XIII: yeah exactly. | 17:40 |
| armin | zero2XIII: that's precisely what i want. | 17:40 |
| armin | zero2XIII: but WITHOUT displaying the switcher at all. | 17:41 |
| armin | zero2XIII: it should just switch. | 17:41 |
| zero2XIII | armin: just change focus basicly? | 17:41 |
| armin | exactly. | 17:41 |
| armin | if that would possible i would really have no reason to ditch unity. | 17:41 |
| armin | but it distracts me a lot when working. | 17:41 |

| zero2XIII | armin: well then you should enable the group and tab windows option in unity | 17:42 |
| armin | zero2XIII: the idea of having to find the window you're looking for in the switcher is just stupid. | 17:42 |
| armin | zero2XIII: i got that one. | 17:43 |
| ikonia | benbloom: I didn't tell you to do fsck ! | 17:43 |
| usr13 | armin: I may be late in the conversation, but are you talking about the function of Alt-F2 ? Or someting similar? | 17:43 |
| ikonia | benbloom: I asked you to do "sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdi" | 17:43 |
| zero2XIII | armin: maybe, but I like it again... And then after the groups are set up (super G i think is the default) then you can switch with the switcher of choice inside that group) | 17:43 |
| usr13 | armin: Sorry, I meant to say Alt-Tab | 17:43 |

| ikonia | benbloom: I suggest you read in great detail this page http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/linux-data-recovery.html | 17:48 |
| BluesKaj | no ,just, dkms status, fungus304 | 17:48 |
| zero2XIII | fungus304: dkms status | 17:48 |
| armin | hm, seems like i should just live with the downsides of the static application switcher then. | 17:48 |
| ikonia | benbloom: this really is your only real chance | 17:48 |
| donvito | usr13: i like xfce now im going to install it:) | 17:48 |
| fungus304 | says program currently not installed? | 17:49 |
| benbloom | thanks ikonia. | 17:49 |
| zero2XIII | armin: if you only use it to switch between temrinal windows, try ctrl z, and use fg to return to the different active applications inside the terminal... just a thought | 17:49 |
| fungus304 | i assume i should install | 17:49 |
| BluesKaj | fungus304, look in additional drivers | 17:50 |
| zero2XIII | armin: but yes.. Maybe unity it to "eye candy" rich to do that.. | 17:50 |
| fungus304 | shows none | 17:50 |
| armin | zero2XIII: that's again a workaround of thinking in a completely different direction. that's like suggesting to use screen when someone asks for a bug in the tab implementation of their terminal emulator. | 17:50 |
| fungus304 | under preferences software and updates additional drivers | 17:51 |
| armin | zero2XIII: but, thanks. | 17:51 |
| wheatthin | grr stupid update broke my chrome install ;/ | 17:51 |
| zero2XIII | armin: yea, well then grab some source and code in this ability you seek?.. since it seems there is no other way than "a workaround".. | 17:51 |
| fungus304 | i tried the ppa glasen/intel blah blah and says 404 error not found reverting to older software | 17:51 |
| zero2XIII | armin: sure no worries | 17:52 |
| iDrofox | hello, how i can convert a partiton from gpt to mbr using gparted in ubuntu so i can install win 7 ? | 17:52 |
| armin | zero2XIII: i might just live with the static application switcher plugin i guess. | 17:52 |
| ikonia | iDrofox: you can't convert partitions | 17:52 |
| fungus304 | furhtermore tried intels linux driver software same result 404 not found | 17:52 |
| zero2XIII | armin: last possible work around, super W, and select the screen... | 17:53 |
| iDrofox | ikonia: win 7 says i can't install it in gpt drive...so i want to change it to mbr so i can install win 7..? | 17:53 |
| iDrofox | i am trying to do it with ubuntu..any tool i can download ? | 17:53 |
| ikonia | iDrofox: you can't "change it" | 17:53 |
| fungus304 | when running xp i had no problems when installed ubuntu i cant watch video... tried xubuntu kubuntu now lubunt | 17:53 |
| zero2XIII | armin: click or arrows and enter. | 17:54 |
| ikonia | iDrofox: you need to delete the partition table (and thus all partitions) and re-create a new partition table in the correct format | 17:54 |
| iDrofox | ok | 17:54 |
| iDrofox | which means loss of all data ? | 17:54 |
| zero2XIII | armin: but gtg. | 17:54 |
| ikonia | iDrofox: not if you back it up | 17:54 |
| iDrofox | ikonia:ok thx | 17:54 |

| phillustine | is ram usage of 41% normal? | 17:57 |
| ikonia | can be | 17:57 |
| wheatthin | phillustine, depends on how much you have | 17:57 |
| ikonia | depends on many things, | 17:57 |
| ikonia | not how much you have | 17:57 |
| phillustine | 410MiB/992MiB | 17:57 |
| phillustine | aha | 17:57 |
| phillustine | ja, this, firefox, and a terminal | 17:57 |
| fungus304 | is there no way to get my intell 855gm video card to function properly with ubuntu | 17:58 |
| wheatthin | fungus201, what does your xorg.conf file look like? | 17:58 |
| Pici | phillustine: How are you calculating that? | 17:58 |
| phillustine | Pici, calculating what? my RAM? | 17:58 |
| phillustine | from conky | 17:58 |
| Pici | phillustine: Whats the output of free -m | 17:59 |
| ikonia | so you're running more than you just said | 17:59 |
| ikonia | you're also running conkey | 17:59 |
| fungus304 | sudo xorg.conf? | 17:59 |
| hackvier_ | hello friends, | 17:59 |
| phillustine | ikonia, exactly. slipped my mind. | 17:59 |
| hackvier_ | i have 12.04 and want install maliit | 17:59 |
| wheatthin | fungus201, pastebinit /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 17:59 |
| hackvier_ | but have error. | 17:59 |
| ikonia | /etc/X11/xorg.conf should not exist unless you have forced creation of one | 17:59 |
| phillustine | Pici, Mem: 991 (tot), 874 (used), 117 (free) | 18:00 |
| ikonia | so that's more than %40 | 18:00 |
| ikonia | and that's also bad numbers | 18:00 |
| fungus304 | bash: /etc/x11/xorg.conf: No such file or directory | 18:00 |
| wheatthin | ikonia, I find that forcing it to make one helps, especially with login prompts resolution | 18:00 |
| === marlinc|away is now known as marlinc | ||
| ikonia | wheatthin: why ? what are you trying to force with it ? | 18:00 |
| Pici | ikonia: conky could be doing the +/- buffers/cache calculation itself. | 18:00 |
| ikonia | wheatthin: what have you configured it | 18:00 |
| ikonia | Pici: I'd hope it is | 18:00 |
| killer | hey , how can I reduce ram usage in ubuntu 12.04 64 bit server | 18:01 |
| wheatthin | ikonia, fglrx-updates drivers | 18:01 |
| ikonia | oh dear | 18:01 |
| BluesKaj | fungus304, that ppa is faulty and has been removed from launchpad | 18:01 |
| fungus304 | so what now? | 18:02 |
| usr13 | fungus304 lsb_release -r #What version are you on? | 18:02 |
| wheatthin | ikonia, so forcing aticonfig --initial -f did the job for me to fix the login screen's resolution | 18:02 |
| fungus304 | 13.04 | 18:02 |
| usr13 | fungus304: Fully updated? | 18:03 |
| fungus304 | i think so i did the sudo apt-get update and upgrade and did software updater | 18:04 |
| phillustine | ikonia, what would you expect it to be? | 18:05 |
| usr13 | fungus304: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2091024 | 18:05 |

| natrixnatrix89 | qubit01: But the question was.. what's the command to get system info? | 18:07 |
| qubit01 | natrixnatrix89, that comes from the motd of the file | 18:08 |
| qubit01 | so id look in there first | 18:08 |
| natrixnatrix89 | motd? | 18:08 |
| qubit01 | message of the day, usually /etc/motd | 18:08 |
| qubit01 | looks like there doingsomething cool with it | 18:08 |
| natrixnatrix89 | wow.. really.. that's what it contains.. | 18:09 |
| natrixnatrix89 | how do they generate it then? | 18:09 |
| qubit01 | look in that file and find out :) | 18:09 |
| natrixnatrix89 | but it's just plain text.. | 18:09 |
| natrixnatrix89 | There must be a script generating this file.. | 18:09 |
| qubit01 | search for motd , there might be config files for it somewhere | 18:10 |

| c-toast | Hi! I'm having a miserable time with an HP Win8 computer and Ubuntu 13. I installed a side by side and it refuses to dual boot. I disabled the Secure Boot, shut down and by sheer chance I hit the right combination of 'enter's in the UEFI to boot into Ubuntu - Finally. But it's still not dual booting without a ton of dancing around in the BIOS. I don't even know if this makes any sense. How can I make this a simple dual boot? | 18:41 |
| X-Sleepy-X | marcbiskup: looks like you have upgraded the kernel to the latest so that's probably why the error hasn't occured again... | 18:41 |

| aethelrick | rudolf_: just install "wine" | 18:50 |
| rudolf_ | ok...thanks aethelrick | 18:50 |

| donvito | i just installed Nvidia accelerated drivers version 173, do i also need do install nvidia accelerated drivers post release 173-updates? | 19:03 |
| aethelrick | belgianguy: ust put your commands in `back ticks` they will be executed | 19:03 |
| kostkon | donvito, that package will keep your nvidia driver more up-to-date | 19:04 |
| belgianguy | aethelrick: could you explain about the backticks? | 19:04 |

| rudolf_ | wilee-nilee, I want to download on other computer. So I generated the download script. What do I do next? | 19:05 |
| aethelrick | belgianguy: the back ticks are the `quotes` I used here around quotes. PHP will shell execute anything in them | 19:05 |
| === francisco is now known as Guest74254 | ||
| rudolf_ | wilee-nilee, there are several .deb files to download as written in the script. Whic one should i open first after download? I mean what i really have to do after downloading them all?? | 19:07 |
| wilee-nilee | rudolf_, Thanks for your additional information, I have no idea what you are doing, using synaptic this way I have never seen. | 19:08 |
| angs | which one has better performance on a computer that has a bad graphic card: ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu? | 19:09 |
| rudolf_ | wilee-nilee, there is option in the file menu called "generate package download script". | 19:09 |
| iceroot | angs: xubuntu and lubuntu should be the same for the vga | 19:09 |
| angs | I will use it to develop a GUI on eclipse, does it matter what distro (ubuntu, xubuntu, lubuntu) I am using ? | 19:09 |
| aethelrick | rudolf_: do you have a bandwidth problem? it's easier to just install on other machine using synaptic isn't it? | 19:09 |
| iceroot | angs: no it doesnt matter | 19:10 |
| angs | iceroot, which one do you suggest me to install? | 19:10 |
| rudolf_ | aethelrick, yeah i have a bandwidth prob and I want to download the softwares on other pc and then install them on mine. | 19:10 |
| iceroot | angs: you can use all the ubuntu software on kubuntu, ubuntu, lubuntu and xubuntu. everything is availalbe for all versions | 19:10 |
| wilee-nilee | rudolf_, True, however that just pulls in packages and installs them I believe, so the computer you are doing this for has this access already or at least must to run it | 19:10 |
| iceroot | angs: the one you like most, all are fine. maybe have a look with a live-cd which gui you prefer | 19:11 |
| angs | thank you iceroot | 19:11 |
| rudolf_ | wilee-nilee, i have a bandwidth prob and I want to download the softwares on other pc and then install them on mine. | 19:11 |
| rudolf_ | Wilee-nilee, now what should i do? | 19:11 |
| belgianguy | there's a spammer on the channel I think | 19:11 |
| X-Sleepy-X | rudolf_: copy the already downloaded .deb files from /var/cache/apt/archives (or where they resolve) to the other computer and then install via synaptics | 19:12 |
| iceroot | angs: no problem, you are welcome | 19:12 |
| wilee-nilee | rudolf_, The problem here is this is a vague description, for example how many packages, how many apps...etc, honestly I'm not your best help here. | 19:12 |
| Noize | Could anyone help me with my bluetooth issue? | 19:13 |
| rudolf_ | hmm...ok...I will be back after downloading them all. | 19:13 |

| lauren | X-Sleepy-X, good point let me check | 19:20 |
| X-Sleepy-X | benedikt: do you have ext4? if so, add discard in /etc/fstab | 19:20 |
| benedikt | X-Sleepy-X: i have | 19:21 |

| ubottu | DeathJesterUK: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 19:56 |

| jrib | xjohnthomasx: create a new user and see if the new user can log into X | 20:29 |
| xjohnthomasx | jrib, I just can't get in from the lightdm graphical menu | 20:29 |
| chachan | Slart, the same process?, or is it a new execution? | 20:29 |
| jrib | xjohnthomasx: I understand | 20:29 |
| fungus058 | alright... youtube shows half screen in green and purple cannot get full screen cannot access settings in player | 20:29 |

| kilonux_ | wilee-nilee: On earlier ubuntus It was so simple to copy an .img, now I am sitting with AUDIO_TS and VIDEO_TS | 20:29 |
| jrib | xjohnthomasx: if the new user works, then we've narrowed it down to an issue with your old user. If a new user does not work, then it's some sort of system-wide issue. | 20:30 |
| X-Sleepy-X | chachan: or you can use screen | 20:30 |

| marlinc | Anyone who can help with some open-source license issues in a project channel? | 20:30 |
| Slart | chachan: the same process.. it gets stopped/paused when your press ctrl-Z and if you just type %1 it will continue running in the foreground.. ie you don't get the prompt back.. %1 & will continue running it AND send it to background | 20:31 |
| jrib | xjohnthomasx: how have you determined that? | 20:31 |
| fungus058 | sorry sleepy a little more specific... | 20:31 |
| fungus058 | in the terminal sudo !info screen? | 20:31 |
| jrib | xjohnthomasx: you can just create a new user and try this in about a minute so we can move on | 20:31 |
| xjohnthomasx | jrib, I read through the xerrors -tailed - and it seems the last shutdown shut down faster or erroneously which didn't allow all programs to close out and write their states.. There are a bunch of errors that a device was unavailable at the end of previous session.. | 20:31 |
| chachan | Slart, cool, that's what I want | 20:31 |
| bekks | fungus058: Nope. | 20:31 |
| fungus058 | or just !info screen | 20:31 |
| chachan | X-Sleepy-X, yeah, I already know about screen, thanks | 20:31 |
| bekks | fungus058: Just "info screen" or "man screen". | 20:31 |
| X-Sleepy-X | chachan: :) sry | 20:32 |

| xjohnthomasx | Guest account works graphically. Guest and Main work cli login. | 20:32 |

| Guest58635 | <gordonjcp> really? | 20:48 |
| bekks | Guest58635: Its a joke. | 20:49 |
| fungus058 | lol yeah ive read that page... doesnt make sense and i cant seem to get the xorg.conf file | 20:49 |
| gordonjcp | Guest58635: no, not really | 20:49 |
| gordonjcp | Guest58635: it would save a lot of time though | 20:49 |
| fungus058 | i hate to sound like a noob but i literaly need step by step instructions | 20:49 |
| gordonjcp | Guest58635: also, be careful when people tell you to type stuff into a terminal | 20:49 |
| fungus058 | most of these "support" pages assume u know linux programing | 20:50 |
| xjohnthomasx | The problem is that I'm encountering a graphical login screen loop with main account - but am able to login with cli or with guest graphically or cli... It's been described numerously in google pages, a few different possible fixes, including chown the xauthority, the xsession in tmp, and uninstalling/reinstalling lightdm and xubuntu desktop andothers.. tried them all, and haven't figured it out yet. The last thing was doing was an | 20:50 |
| xjohnthomasx | update and then letting gparted live resize the home partition to fit a larger swap partition at the end of it.. seemed to work, said successful. | 20:50 |
| Guest58635 | gordonjcp: i know, i've heard of windows ones but i'm looking at the feasibility of a ubuntu one | 20:50 |
| BluesKaj | fungus058, that's totally untrue , typing commands into terminal is not programming | 20:50 |
| gordonjcp | Guest58635: Linux is generally not so susceptible to being broken into in ways useful to people who run botnets | 20:51 |
| fungus058 | well that shows just how noob i am | 20:51 |

| X-Sleepy-X | fungus058: have you tried searching google for? how to create xorg.conf | 20:53 |
| gordonjcp | xjohnthomasx: make a copy of your home directory somewhere safe, then start nuking .directories until it works? | 20:53 |
| xjohnthomasx | main account can login via cli. guest account can login via graphical (lightdm) or cli. main account can NOT login via lightdm/graphically - and that's the problem. | 20:54 |
| xjohnthomasx | gordonjcp, that's a bit drastic. i'm not nuking anything. | 20:55 |
| bekks | xjohnthomasx: So check the .xsession-errors and the Xorg.0.log | 20:55 |
| gordonjcp | xjohnthomasx: you've got a copy of it | 20:55 |
| xjohnthomasx | I posted the .xsession-errors earlier | 20:55 |

| fungus058 | it just seems completly stupid that ubuntu would do this with the intel 855 chipset | 20:59 |
| gordonjcp | fungus058: just tell the machine to netboot, then pick various Ubuntus, Centoses and other OSes/distros from the menu | 20:59 |
| fungus058 | so sudo netboot | 21:00 |
| gordonjcp | fungus058: no, bios prompt | 21:00 |
| fungus058 | ... | 21:00 |
| gordonjcp | fungus058: isn't the 855 chipset a) ancient, and b) very very proprietary? | 21:00 |
| fungus058 | i dont know | 21:00 |
| fungus058 | is it? | 21:01 |
| fungus058 | worked great on xp | 21:01 |
| X-Sleepy-X | fungus058: you're using lubuntu aren't you? | 21:01 |
| fungus058 | uh huh | 21:01 |
| gordonjcp | fungus058: XP is 12 years old now | 21:01 |
| fungus058 | cuz its supposed to be lightwieght and all that jazz | 21:01 |
| X-Sleepy-X | fungus058: does the problem exist in ubuntu? | 21:02 |
| bgardner | fungus058: Check out XP: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows/products/lifecycle | 21:02 |
| deathjesteruk | Okay, so, nomodeset didnt work. | 21:02 |
| deathjesteruk | However, Its something to do with my mouse. The buttons arent working. | 21:02 |
| fungus058 | im looking for max performance out of an old toshiba satelite s155 40 gig hdd 1gig ram and this god forsaken intel 855 that works great with windows but not linux | 21:02 |
| xjohnthomasx | bekks, does that help? | 21:03 |
| deathjesteruk | I am using a RAT9 wireless mouse. The mouse works fine, but, the buttons do not. | 21:03 |
| fungus058 | so lubuntu seemed smart | 21:03 |
| X-Sleepy-X | fungus058: try installing a newer kernel | 21:03 |
| Spr1ng | Anybody upgraded RT from 4.0.4 to 4.0.13? | 21:03 |
| deathjesteruk | Correction, the left hand mousebutton will not work. | 21:03 |
| awesome_muffin | hihi | 21:03 |
| fungus058 | i have the newest kernel | 21:04 |
| deathjesteruk | I have fully updated Ubuntu. | 21:04 |
| fungus058 | sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:04 |
| X-Sleepy-X | fungus058: uname -r gives you what? | 21:04 |
| deathjesteruk | But there is still no left mouse button functionality. | 21:04 |

| fungus058 | go to vbox website and download worked for me | 21:05 |
| X-Sleepy-X | fungus058: and accordingly to the link i posted earlier they installed a newer version | 21:05 |
| fungus058 | sorry whats that | 21:06 |

| xjohnthomasx | Anyone? | 21:06 |
| X-Sleepy-X | xjohnthomasx: did you try with a new user? | 21:07 |
| wilee-nilee | Spr1ng, It is in 13.10, and the channel is not for polling, if you want help, state your problem. | 21:07 |
| wilee-nilee | PlasmaSheep, What release are you running? | 21:07 |
| fungus058 | how is that newer... thats -19 i have -26 | 21:08 |
| Spr1ng | wilee-nilee: So under 12.04 LTS there's no pkg for 4.0.13? | 21:08 |
| X-Sleepy-X | fungus058: "I did find the following workaround. When booting, I choose the Advanced Ubuntu options and pick either Linux 3.5.0-27-generic or Linux 3.2.0-40-generic. With either, the video/flash is fine. The default kernel is Linux 3.8.0-19-generic, and that is the version where it does not work" | 21:08 |
| PlasmaSheep | wilee-nilee: precise | 21:08 |
| wilee-nilee | Spr1ng, not in the repos I believe. | 21:08 |
| wilee-nilee | Spr1ng, YOu might check ppa's | 21:08 |
| fungus058 | oh sorry | 21:08 |
| deathjesteruk | Interesting, for some reason, the secondary mouse button will not work. | 21:09 |
| fungus058 | alright... so reboot hit f12 boot from cd and go to advanced options pick updated kernel | 21:09 |
| deathjesteruk | Okay, Im having all sorts of mouse issues. Anyone got any ideas? | 21:09 |
| X-Sleepy-X | deathjesteruk: get a cat? | 21:10 |
| schultza | <Comedic> Find a cat. <Serious> What's going on!? | 21:10 |
| Spr1ng | wilee-nilee: aight thx for the info. | 21:10 |
| deathjesteruk | Thats not at all helpful. | 21:10 |
| X-Sleepy-X | solly... :) | 21:10 |
| xjohnthomasx | jrib, ok, you're right - i should have just tried and made the new user. i thought the google/stack exchange had already walked me through that troubleshoot step. i just made another new user, and it doesn't log in either. but the cli logins do still work, and the guest account does still login graphically. | 21:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Spr1ng, NO problem I looked on the web to see what I could. | 21:10 |
| schultza | deathjesteruk: no, seriously, what is going on with the mouse1? | 21:11 |
| folorn | So I've got a question is it possible to just do a straight install from a .Iso image?? | 21:11 |
| deathjesteruk | The buttons arent working, the OS isnt recognizing when its hovering over an icon and so I cant get menus up or press any icons or the buttons on the left. | 21:11 |
| folorn | without having to run around find dvds etc to burn the thing to ?? | 21:12 |
| bgardner | PlasmaSheep: Can't you just install virtualbox from the repos? That would bring in the dependencies for you. | 21:12 |
| fungus058 | err those r still downgraded kernels... oh well guess i have to downgrade. cant run 13.04 | 21:12 |
| deathjesteruk | The keyboard and OS are working fine, but, my mouse is screwed and I have tried with another mouse, that isnt working either. | 21:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | folorn: Using a VM, yes; also, check out ISOBoot | 21:12 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !isoboot | 21:12 |
| schultza | And what version of GNU/LInux Ubuntu are you using!? | 21:12 |

| deathjesteruk | I had this with 12.04 too. | 21:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | deathjesteruk: Unity? | 21:13 |
| xjohnthomasx | X-Sleepy-X, the new user doesn't graphically login either | 21:13 |
| deathjesteruk | Im not sure. | 21:13 |
| folorn | i mean ive got the distro sonikkuAmerica but just sick of wasting CDS | 21:13 |
| deathjesteruk | How do I find that out? | 21:13 |
| deathjesteruk | Im new to linux. | 21:13 |
| SonikkuAmerica | deathjesteruk: The thing with the top menu bar and the launcher on the left? | 21:13 |
| X-Sleepy-X | xjohnthomasx: my bet is that there is something wrong with your filesystem | 21:14 |
| xjohnthomasx | yes probably | 21:14 |

| deathjesteruk | I cant CLICK ANYTHING! | 21:15 |
| evilytwisted | would any of you know the channel for recordmydesktop? or know where i could get help with the program? | 21:15 |
| deathjesteruk | Links are no good to me. | 21:15 |
| SonikkuAmerica | deathjesteruk: What does your desktop have on it. | 21:15 |
| wilee-nilee | PlasmaSheep, As a friendly reminder, always be backed up in general. I did the stack upgrade on my 64 bit and it bricked, however I have all my OS's cloned, so no biggie. | 21:16 |
| deathjesteruk | I have the menu bar at the top, the launcher to the left, I have system icons in the top right and thats it. This is a new install today, from one of the images on the Ubuntu website. | 21:16 |
| X-Sleepy-X | xjohnthomasx: perhaps not all the sectors are affected | 21:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | deathjesteruk: That's Unity. | 21:16 |
| deathjesteruk | Thats interesting, but, how does knowing its unity help me? | 21:16 |
| X-Sleepy-X | xjohnthomasx: i would boot a live session and do a backup of important stuff and then reinstall | 21:17 |
| readyjar | Ok so still can't get shift backspace to send ^H | 21:17 |
| PlasmaSheep | wilee-nilee: I'm not sure I understand what this means. I need to run the stack update to run virtualbox? | 21:17 |
| SonikkuAmerica | deathjesteruk: Hmm... I would ask you to pastebin your /etc/X11/xorg.conf ... but since you have no mouse... did you have it when you used your Live image? | 21:17 |
| deathjesteruk | It worked fine on the Live Image. | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | PlasmaSheep, No, possibly for higher kernels, why you need it for virtualbox I have no idea, that sounds wrong | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | PlasmaSheep,I have vbox running in precise with the stick kernels. | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | stock* | 21:18 |
| bgardner | PlasmaSheep: Do this: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-`uname -r` | 21:18 |

| SonikkuAmerica | ActionParsnip: Point. | 21:19 |
| allgood38 | deathjesteruk, Any chance the cursor is just invisible? Could you try clicking somthing in the corner? | 21:19 |
| PlasmaSheep | bgardner: that's right, I'm trying to do that | 21:19 |
| ActionParsnip | deathjesteruk: is the OS fully updated? | 21:19 |
| bgardner | PlasmaSheep: Is that working for you? | 21:20 |
| wilee-nilee | PlasmaSheep, YOu have dkms installed? | 21:20 |

| PlasmaSheep | bgardner: yes | 21:20 |
| PlasmaSheep | er | 21:20 |
| PlasmaSheep | wilee-nilee: yes | 21:20 |

| ActionParsnip | deathjesteruk: run it as given :-) | 21:24 |
| Ben64 | PlasmaSheep: ok, then do that | 21:24 |
| ActionParsnip | deathjesteruk: sorry, xfce4 not xfxe4 | 21:24 |
| PlasmaSheep | Ben64: this is exactly what I already did... http://pastie.org/8064405 | 21:25 |

| DeathJesterUK | So, its a different Kernel or just a different manager? | 21:29 |
| PlasmaSheep | Ben64: it's not like ubunut uses a different kernel from, say, debian | 21:29 |
| ActionParsnip | plasmasheep: the exact output please | 21:29 |
| Ben64 | yes it does | 21:29 |

| iceroot | pr0n_: what you want to edit there exactly | 22:27 |
| iceroot | pr0n_: and the search-feature is not part of the os, maybe its part of nautilus, dash-board or whatever search you are using | 22:28 |
| pr0n_ | like right now the ubuntu search is somewhat like ill put something in the search bar and il press the enter key and then il get the results. but suppose il make a file directory list, and ill do some kind of dynamic searching to make it better and fast | 22:28 |

| lauren | hi everyone | 22:57 |
| Spec-Chum | hi lauren | 22:57 |
| holstein | DeathJesterUK: i would start ruling things out.. try commands from TTY, try as another user.. try a live CD to take the OS out of the equation.. test the hard ware | 22:57 |
| lauren | does anyone know how to auto start Pidgin 2.10.7 on boot | 22:57 |
| Spec-Chum | lauren: add it to startup apps? | 22:58 |
| DeathJesterUK | Its just slow? When I open up the top button and search for something, its just very slow. Hardware is fine I can assure you. Dont know what TTY is, I dont have any other users, this is a fresh installe. | 22:58 |
| OerHeks | lauren usually you run those apps on login. | 22:58 |
| lauren | Spec-Chum, OerHeks okay I opened up startup apps, what do I put in for the command? | 22:59 |
| holstein | DeathJesterUK: you need not assure me, but if you havent tested, just now, the hardware *can* be bad, and you should assure yourself.. take a note of the few steps i gave to isolate issues | 22:59 |
| holstein | !tty | DeathJesterUK | 22:59 |
| ubottu | DeathJesterUK: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution | 22:59 |

| Spec-Chum | Manju: um, you have a net connection, right? | 23:27 |

| Spec-Chum | Manju: on the target machine, I mean | 23:28 |
| wilee-nilee | George_, What s it you are trying to recover exactly. | 23:28 |
| George_ | root permissions for my user. | 23:28 |
| holstein | !root | George_ | 23:29 |
| ubottu | George_: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 23:29 |

I'm having a weird problem right now, I have a rar file and an unrarred file on my usb drive called .techniclauncher, and for some reason it's made the files hidden and read only. I can't change anything about them or make anything inside them executable. How can I change their hidden status? | 23:42 |
| th0r | Nick119119, they are hidden because they start with a . | 23:44 |
