| staticLNX | guesses... a cat urinated on your computer and caused the power to go out which is why you have a black screen | 00:32 |
| Nick119119 | Hey guys! Alright so I installed Ubuntu 32 bit or 34 bit, whichever is the low bit, on my Fiancee's laptop, but the screen flickers black nonstop and after about 2-3 minutes just goes solid black | 00:32 |

| wilee-nilee | stef1a, You have a graphic driver loaded from the card manufacturer rather than the repo's per-chance? | 00:35 |
| stef1a | wilee-nilee: yes, i have an AMD/ATI Radeon HD, and i have installed fglrx | 00:35 |
| wilee-nilee | stef1a, drivers loaded not from the repos will not follow kernel upgrades, is this a possibility, I'm not up amd in general. | 00:37 |

| wfreeman | Hi, I have a simple question about laptop backlights. The built-in KDE brightness control does not do what it should do. I have written my own scripts to control brightness and would like to bind them to the laptop's brightness hotkeys, but even after disabling those hotkeys in the KDE hotkey manager, they are still doing weird things with the screen brightness. | 00:40 |
| wfreeman | Does anyone know what other KDE (or otherwise) component is reading these hotkeys? Again, all I'd like to do is turn this off, so I can bind them to my own scripts which work. | 00:40 |

| Nick119119 | Guys, how do I open a terminal before the OS boots up? | 00:43 |
| Nick119119 | I can't get into it long enough to set nomodeset up | 00:43 |
| Ben64 | nomodeset you do in grub | 00:43 |
| reisio | Nick119119: hold down shift to get the GRUB menu | 00:43 |
| Ben64 | !nomodeset | 00:43 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, You would do it at the grub menu, the shift key brings it up. | 00:44 |
| Nick119119 | Oh, I can do it straight from grub? | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, Read the link. | 00:44 |
| Nick119119 | I'm on the link, that's how I know to do nomodeset | 00:44 |
| Nick119119 | But it mentions a terminal | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, To make it permanent you would use a terminal, at this point it seems you can't get in to do that, basically ths is to get you in ti look for a missing graphic driver. | 00:45 |
| TheLordOfTime | reisio: thanks. how do i know if it'll work or not? just add the things to fstab, and try mounting the devices? | 00:46 |
| TheLordOfTime | (and if it errors I know i did it wrong?) | 00:46 |
| reisio | TheLordOfTime: sounds like a plan | 00:46 |
| reisio | as to noauto, I'm not sure anything but rebooting will be 100% proof | 00:46 |
| === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x | ||
| th0r | reisio, I think changes to fstab take effect immediately. You can always do a 'sudo mount -a' to force a re-read | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, Does that make sense, I suspect you just need to get in run a update upgrade and look in additional drivers. | 00:47 |
| Nick119119 | Yes, it made sense. I was looking at the permanent section, knowing I need to use the temporary solved my whole issue haha | 00:48 |

| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, Cool, enjoy. | 00:48 |
| Nick119119 | Makes me glad my laptop isn't nvidia like hers is | 00:49 |
| reisio | th0r: right, but that won't show you whether noauto is working as expected at bootup or not | 00:49 |
| th0r | reisio, if you do the mount and noauto isn't doing what you expect, the whole thing should hang at that point | 00:49 |
| th0r | reisio, (I think) | 00:50 |
| reisio | th0r: why tell me? | 00:50 |
| th0r | reisio, "as to noauto, I'm not sure anything but rebooting will be 100% proof" | 00:50 |
| reisio | yeah? | 00:51 |
| th0r | reisio, just passing along a tidbit based on that comment you made...no offense intended | 00:51 |
| reisio | I'm not offended, I just don't know what makes you think it's relevant to me :p | 00:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | reisio: so far the options seem to work correctly :) I'll test noauto on reboot with the devices not connected | 00:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | reisio: if it errors, where'll the errors dump out to, what log file? | 00:52 |
| reisio | manually mounting something won't show whether noauto behaves as expected during bootup | 00:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | reisio: <TheLordOfTime> reisio: so far the options seem to work correctly :) I'll test noauto on reboot with the devices not connected | 00:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | "I'll test noauto on reboot with the devices not connected" | 00:52 |
| TheLordOfTime | the OTHER options work | 00:52 |
| reisio | yeah sorry that was still to th0r | 00:53 |

| TheLordOfTime | reisio: ah | 00:54 |
| reisio | 'cause more people will be more likely to ignore the msg, thinking it's only relevant to me | 00:54 |
| TheLordOfTime | anyone know where boot-time mount errors will show up in the logs? specifically, what log file I need to check? | 00:55 |
| aamer | yw Martijn-NL | 00:55 |
| Martijn-NL | aamer: Where are you from? I live in The Netherlands (H) | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Martijn-NL, #ubuntu-offtopic is for chat. ;) | 00:56 |
| reisio | TheLordOfTime: realistically, it'll probably either not boot, or boot normally and the filesystems will be mounted (when you didn't want them to be) | 00:56 |
| k-stz | How does one disable kernel updates? | 00:56 |
| reisio | but even more likely is it'll work :p | 00:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | indeed | 00:56 |
| aamer | so, I wanted to ask what the heck is the flag -t for mount? I've read everywhere but couldn't get it! | 00:56 |
| TheLordOfTime | aamer: i think -t is the "type" i.e. filesystem type | 00:57 |
| reisio | aamer: for explicitly telling mount what type to interpret the filesystem as | 00:57 |
| reisio | usually you can omit it, 'cause mount is pretty smart | 00:57 |
| TheLordOfTime | mhm | 00:57 |
| reisio | not that there's anything wrong with being explicit, if you mean to be | 00:57 |
| aamer | ty reisio | 00:58 |
| wilee-nilee | k-stz, Not sure why you would but, http://askubuntu.com/questions/3379/is-there-a-way-to-disable-kernel-updates | 00:58 |
| reisio | it's a little more useful for debugging | 00:58 |
| reisio | for example if you know a filesystem is of a certain type, you can specify it | 00:58 |
| reisio | and then maybe get a useful error | 00:58 |
| reisio | like 'hey clown, you have to enable support in your kernel for that type first!' | 00:58 |
| k-stz | wilee-nilee: some drivers cease to function, thanks ill look into that | 00:58 |
| reisio | only less humorous | 00:58 |
| aamer | reisio i was reading how to move /home to a separate partition (after installing the system) | 00:58 |
| reisio | aamer: and how was -t used? | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | k-stz, Drivers gotten from other then the ubuntu repo's? | 00:59 |
| Nick119119 | What's the ubuntu equivilent of dxdiag? | 00:59 |
| reisio | mmm, glxgears? | 01:00 |
| aamer | reisio he says sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/hda5 /mnt/newhome | 01:00 |
| reisio | Nick119119: dpkg -L mesa-utils | grep bin | 01:01 |
| aamer | reisio theres a bunch of comments many people are complaining because of the errors during copy... | 01:01 |
| reisio | aamer: mmm, probably don't need -t ext3 in that particular case | 01:01 |
| k-stz | wilee-nilee: no hand-compiled, else wlan driver won't work | 01:01 |
| reisio | and might not even want it, if you aren't using ext3 :) | 01:01 |
| punter | If my new PC (with "Gigabyte" motherboard and nVidia GPU) crashes twice a day and shows strange log files on screen with no possibility for returning to the graphical environment, can that be faulty or incompatible hardware? | 01:01 |
| wilee-nilee | k-stz, Ah. | 01:01 |
| reisio | aamer: simpler to do stuff like that from live media | 01:01 |
| k-stz | wilee-nilee: ok thanks i hope that works bye | 01:01 |
| reisio | punter: _could_ be, sure | 01:02 |
| reisio | wouldn't be my first suspect | 01:02 |
| punter | reisio: Which of the two is more likely? (incompatible, or faulty?) | 01:02 |
| reisio | more likely would be software bug | 01:02 |
| punter | Ubuntu 13.04 is what I use | 01:03 |
| punter | Should I switch back to 12.04? | 01:03 |
| reisio | no | 01:03 |
| reisio | you might try another nvidia driver or driver version, for starters | 01:03 |
| punter | aha | 01:03 |
| Nick119119 | reisio: It says 'mesa-utils' is not installed | 01:03 |
| punter | For some reason it's not using a proprietary driver | 01:03 |
| reisio | Nick119119: install it :D | 01:03 |
| aamer | reisio I'm using ext4 but I just wanted to know what's that flag, and still I'm very worried about the copy errors, I don't know actually but I'm expecting lots of errors during copy, what do you think? | 01:04 |
| reisio | punter: could try using the proprietary driver | 01:04 |
| punter | ok | 01:04 |
| punter | Thank you reisio | 01:04 |

| Nick119119 | reisio: What's the command I need to install? I tried sudo get-apt install mesa-utils but it said nope | 01:05 |
| aamer | reisio I'll try, but storage prices are multiplied by 3 or 4 nowadays here... so I don't promise hehe | 01:06 |
| reisio | Nick119119: try using apt-file to figure out where it thinks the 'glxgears' executable comes from, then | 01:06 |
| reisio | Nick119119: you might also be interested in lshw (or the gtk frontend to it) | 01:06 |
| Nick119119 | reisio: I'm rather new to Ubuntu and Linux in general, I have no idea what those things are D: | 01:07 |
| reisio | Nick119119: and the proprietary nvidia and ati drivers also have their own GUIs | 01:07 |
| reisio | Nick119119: sudo apt-get install apt-file | 01:07 |
| reisio | apt-file search glxgears | 01:08 |
| reisio | if it gives an error, do what it says | 01:08 |
| psusi | glsgears comes from mesa-utils | 01:08 |
| psusi | glxgears rather | 01:08 |
| Nick119119 | I was trying get-apt instead of apt-get >.< | 01:09 |
| OerHeks | !find glxgears | 01:09 |
| ubottu | File glxgears found in fglrx, fglrx-updates, fvwm-crystal, mesa-utils, xmanpages-ja | 01:09 |
| Nick119119 | It's showing three files with the glx stuff | 01:09 |
| Nick119119 | Now it has gears turning round and round and telling me the fps, but this does not tell me what my graphics card is | 01:11 |
| Ari-Yang | just a heads up, Nick119119, fglrx (proprietary ati/amd driver) is horrible. You're better off with sticking with the open source one, it's 100x better. | 01:11 |
| Ari-Yang | Nick119119, type this in terminal: lspci | grep VGA | 01:12 |
| DoverMo | Ari-Yang, opposite situation with nvidia | 01:12 |
| karlmh | DoverMo: agreed | 01:12 |
| Ari-Yang | DoverMo, I know, that's why I only said that ati's/amd's proprietary driver is horrible... didn't mention anything about nividia | 01:13 |
| Nick119119 | Ah, thanks! | 01:13 |
| Ari-Yang | Nick119119, yw, so you have nividia, yes? | 01:14 |
| Ari-Yang | * nvidia | 01:14 |
| Nick119119 | My fiancee does, yes | 01:14 |
| Ari-Yang | kk | 01:14 |
| DoverMo | lspci | grep fiance | 01:14 |
| DoverMo | wait, nvm | 01:14 |
| Nick119119 | And.. Wonderful, haha, nvdiai doesn't have drivers for her card -_- | 01:15 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, what kind of card is it? | 01:15 |
| Nick119119 | nvidia geforce Go 6150 | 01:15 |
| Ari-Yang | c/p the output straight from terminal? | 01:15 |
| Nick119119 | 00:05.0 VGA compatible controller: NVIDIA corperation C51 [GeForce Go 6150] (rev a2) | 01:17 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, the geforce go 7 series recommends the 304.88 driver for 64bit | 01:18 |
| Ari-Yang | so Nick119119, you're trying to install proprietary driver for nvidia? | 01:18 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, so you could try that and see if it works | 01:18 |
| Nick119119 | It's 32 bit though, will it still work? | 01:18 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, let me double check now | 01:18 |
| Nick119119 | And I don't know, Ari-Yang, is that what I should be doing? | 01:18 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, yeah still the same one. | 01:19 |
| Ari-Yang | I'm not sure... I mean it depends what you're going to be doing... | 01:19 |
| Nick119119 | My Fiancee isn't exactly computer literate, It would get irritating to have to boot in nomodeset for her every time she wanted to turn it on | 01:19 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, you could try it, and if it doesn't work you can just uninstall it afterwards | 01:19 |
| Ari-Yang | I mean if she isn't going to be doing any gaming, why switch driver? | 01:19 |
| Nick119119 | She's gonna be playing minecraft | 01:19 |
| Ari-Yang | oh, then you may want proprietary driver I think | 01:20 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, you can just edit the grub default to disable nouveau | 01:20 |
| Ari-Yang | http://www.nvidia.com/object/linux-display-ia32-304.88-driver.html | 01:20 |
| Ari-Yang | is that the driver DoverMo recommended? | 01:20 |
| DoverMo | yep | 01:20 |
| Nick119119 | Woot, direct link saves me google | 01:20 |
| Ben64 | you shouldn't install from the website | 01:21 |
| Nick119119 | You guys are way better then my tech support guys | 01:22 |
| Ben64 | the nvidia drivers are in the ubuntu repository | 01:22 |
| DoverMo | Ben64, though proprietary links aren't recommend by any linux system, the free nouveau driver is a piece of crud that also breaks with the newest kernels | 01:22 |
| Ben64 | thats not what i'm saying | 01:22 |
| Ben64 | the version from nvidia.com is not supported here, and breaks often | 01:23 |
| Nick119119 | The laptop won't run without blackscreening unless it's in nomodeset, which is why I need the driver | 01:23 |
| OerHeks | Ben64 +1 | 01:23 |
| Ben64 | again, i'm not saying to not install the driver. i'm saying to install it from the repository | 01:23 |
| Nick119119 | How? | 01:24 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, did you look at the driver list in the 'ubuntu software center'? | 01:24 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, you haven't seen that? | 01:24 |
| Ben64 | ubuntu software center, there should be a tab for extra drivers | 01:24 |
| Nick119119 | I haven't o.o | 01:24 |
| OerHeks | for that 6150 go card you would need the 173-updates driver https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173-updates | 01:24 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, i assumed you had already looked at that | 01:24 |
| Nick119119 | I had no idea that kind of stuff was in the software center | 01:25 |
| Ben64 | 304 supports the 6150 | 01:25 |
| Nick119119 | I'm not seeing a drivers section | 01:26 |
| Nick119119 | Nevermind, found it | 01:26 |
| DoverMo | software sources | 01:26 |
| DoverMo | tab on the right | 01:26 |
| Nick119119 | My software center doesn't have tabs.... THere is something called 'Additional Drivers' that I have the option of installing? | 01:27 |
| DoverMo | yes | 01:27 |
| DoverMo | thats it | 01:27 |
| Nick119119 | Right, installing now | 01:27 |
| DoverMo | it should show you what driver you are currently on | 01:27 |
| DoverMo | and you can pick one from that list | 01:27 |
| Ari-Yang | Nick119119, what nvidia driver is listed there? | 01:27 |

| Nick119119 | Sorry, Jehovah's witnesses were knocking on my door. And I don't know yet, it's still installing the Additional Drivers thing | 01:29 |

| Ari-Yang | you should get a version string line too | 01:35 |
| Ari-Yang | that should tell you your opengl version... | 01:35 |
| Sector_0 | Ari-Yang: http://pastebin.com/EwFBAUMG | 01:36 |
| Nick119119 | Okay, I instaleld the Additional Drivers whatsit, now how do I open it? | 01:36 |
| Sector_0 | that's the output of the command | 01:36 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, restart the computer then double check which bubble is marked... | 01:36 |
| Ari-Yang | Nick119119, I guess you check the Additional Drivers tab of software sources | 01:36 |
| Ari-Yang | or what DoverMo said | 01:37 |
| DoverMo | Ari-Yang, im hoping their computer doesnt explode | 01:37 |
| Ari-Yang | well if he installed the right driver, it shouldn't | 01:37 |
| Ari-Yang | worse case scenario he'll get tearing | 01:38 |
| Nick119119 | If her laptop explodes at least I can go back to playing Dark Souls xD | 01:38 |
| Ari-Yang | haha | 01:38 |
| Ari-Yang | @ Sector_0 sorry, I won't be much help with your problem :< perhaps somebody will help you | 01:38 |
| Nick119119 | Just standing in blight town for the last hour, thanking any deity out there that I haven't been invaded and slaughtered | 01:39 |
| Ari-Yang | maybe installing the version you had before updating would work? (if that's possible) | 01:39 |
| Nick119119 | Restarted, but there still isn't an additional drivers tab >.< | 01:40 |
| Ari-Yang | Nick119119, you went to software sources right? | 01:40 |
| Nick119119 | sotware resources? | 01:40 |
| Nick119119 | I been in the ubuntu software center this whole time x.x | 01:41 |
| Ari-Yang | you can open up System Settings (not sure what DE (desktop environment) you're using) | 01:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Nick119119, the additional drivers tab is in software and updates | 01:41 |
| wilee-nilee | at least in 13.04 they have changes the name of that gui | 01:41 |
| wilee-nilee | changed* | 01:42 |
| Ari-Yang | if Nick119119 is using Unity, couldn't he just hit the dashboard and search for software sources? | 01:43 |
| Nick119119 | That's what I did xD | 01:43 |
| Nick119119 | I don't know what exactly I'm using, I have Ubuntu 13.04 | 01:43 |
| Nick119119 | With basically no custimization yet | 01:43 |
| Ari-Yang | oh, he's most likely on Unity then, wilee-nilee | 01:44 |
| Ari-Yang | not sure what software sources is called on 13.04 | 01:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, you can get them from synaptic | 01:44 |
| Ari-Yang | ? | 01:44 |
| Seven_Six_Two | software sources | 01:44 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, do what i said | 01:45 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, what's the problem | 01:45 |
| Nick119119 | No problem now :D | 01:45 |
| Seven_Six_Two | Ari-Yang, sorry. you said that you aren't sure what the software sources are called, but they're available in synaptic. | 01:45 |
| DoverMo | Nick119119, right, and does the bubbled in part reflect the driver you wanted to use? | 01:46 |
| Nick119119 | Thank you guys, like seriously. No widea how long I woulda been trying to work on this without your helps | 01:46 |
| Ari-Yang | Nick119119, so now you're going to select the nvidia proprietary driver? | 01:46 |
| Nick119119 | It's still 'applying changes' | 01:46 |
| Ari-Yang | after that, restart the computer | 01:47 |
| Ari-Yang | Nick119119, what driver did you select form the list? | 01:47 |
| Ari-Yang | the exact name | 01:47 |
| Nick119119 | 304 proptiertary, tested | 01:47 |
| Ari-Yang | Nick119119, nice, that sounds like the driver DoverMo recommended | 01:48 |

| Ari-Yang | success! | 01:52 |
| Ari-Yang | as for the whole proprietary drivers, for nvidia it's all good. ati/amd you're better off with sticking with the open source driver (95% of the time I bet), though I think kernel 3.9 gives radeon driver a bit more attention and it has improved a lot. | 01:54 |
| Nick119119 | My laptop uses whatever the default is and seems to have no problems | 01:54 |

| th0r | Nick119119, as I recall when I install xubuntu it tried to use the wl module. I had to blacklist that and use the b43 module. So first you might check to see which module is loaded | 02:29 |
| Nick119119 | Okay, how do I do that? | 02:29 |
| th0r | Nick119119, first, in a terminal try 'iwconfig' and see if there is even a wifi card recognized. pastebin the results if you don't know what it is saying | 02:30 |
| lendon | The fn +f2 will not work to get wifi activated but all other fn + hotkeys work how can i fix this | 02:30 |

| th0r | Nick119119, try 'lsmod | grep wl' and see if wl is loaded. | 02:32 |
| lendon | Is there a way to activate the fn/F2 combination? | 02:32 |
| w30 | Nick119119, best way to get broadcom working is to connect with wires and then insyall the brodcom drivers and it's many dependicies | 02:33 |

| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| th0r | Nick119119, my bad...I think you need 'sudo rmmod wl' | 02:37 |
| Nick119119 | I don't think so, but it shows my ethernet connection | 02:37 |
| th0r | Nick119119, and sudo modprobe b43 | 02:37 |
| Nick119119 | Still says it's in use, should I just skip to the modprobe part? | 02:38 |
| th0r | Nick119119, I don't think that will work...pretty sure you need to get rid of wl first. | 02:38 |
| th0r | Nick119119, trying to figure out how to determine what is using it, or how to release it. Could always blacklist it and reboot...but that seems a bit extreme | 02:39 |
| Nick119119 | Hm | 02:40 |
| Nick119119 | Is there a way to kill it? Like rkill or something? | 02:42 |
| th0r | Nick119119, try 'sudo modprobe -r wl' | 02:42 |
| Nick119119 | FATAL: module wl is in use. | 02:43 |
| th0r | Nick119119, when I installed xubuntu I just rmmod wl and then installed b43...it was easy. Not sure what to do now <smile> | 02:44 |
| Nick119119 | Would it work if I unplugged my ethernet cord? | 02:44 |
| th0r | Nick119119, this is what I would do now....blacklist the wl driver (simple instructions here)http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/avoid-linux-kernel-module-driver-autoloading.html | 02:45 |
| th0r | Nick119119, then..... | 02:45 |
| th0r | Nick119119, add 'b43' to the file /etc/modules | 02:46 |
| lendon | Nick119119: is there a way you know of that could turn on the fn+f2 key? | 02:46 |
| th0r | Nick119119, then reboot and see if that brings up the wifi card | 02:46 |
| Nick119119 | I'm afraid not lendon | 02:47 |
| Nick119119 | th0r, How do I open files in /etc/? | 02:48 |
| Nick119119 | I'm trying to open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist but I honestly have no idea how | 02:48 |
| th0r | Nick119119, in a terminal use 'sudo nano </etc/modules or whatever>' | 02:48 |
| blackshirt | just open it | 02:48 |
| th0r | blackshirt, that won't work | 02:49 |
| Nick119119 | Alright, now I do blacklist wl? | 02:49 |
| th0r | Nick119119, right, just put that on a line at the end of the file. | 02:50 |
| th0r | Nick119119, control-X will then prompt if you want to save the file | 02:50 |

| grendal-prime | i got this netbook with eufi on it | 02:59 |
| grendal-prime | and windows8.. | 02:59 |
| th0r | Nick119119, 'lsmod | grep b43' to make sure that module is there. It shoudl have loaded at boot if it is in modules | 02:59 |
| grendal-prime | i had this happen before and i was unable to install or do anything with the box cause i accidently whiped out the eufi partion? | 03:00 |

I can't change the screen brightness (its set to full). And one notable thing is cairo-dock has a black background. Any help please? | 03:04 |
| wilee-nilee | nabn, A upgrade needs graphiic drivers reloaded generally look in additional drivers | 03:05 |
| nabn | wilee-nilee: will try that out. i do that from the settings, if i am not wrong? | 03:06 |
| wilee-nilee | grendal-prime, I put my window images on a external, if you have one thats the best way in my opinion. | 03:06 |

| grendal-prime | wilee-nilee, i have a roswood block with an empty 100 gig drive in it..but windows does not see it? | 03:39 |
| wilee-nilee | grendal-prime, The recovery disc is an excellent repair tool, and you can use it to reload the clone if needed. | 03:39 |
| kirankumar | i am a student purchase is not possible . | 03:39 |
| wilee-nilee | grendal-prime, Has to be a NTFS is all. | 03:39 |
| DoverMo | kirankumar, then you gotta pick either wine in linux, or run a virtual system | 03:40 |
| grendal-prime | ok so..i have nothing on this box i dont want to be able to even reninstall win8 cause its fkn horrid... | 03:40 |
| grendal-prime | if i have the recovery disk will that at least be able to recreate the uefi partion | 03:40 |
| kirankumar | i think vertual windows is helpful yes or no? sir, | 03:40 |
| wheatthin_ | !language grendal-prime | 03:41 |
| Ari-Yang | just try it and see for yourself, kirankumar | 03:41 |
| wilee-nilee | grendal-prime, MY only concern here was having the reload if needed basically, if you don't then I would only save it in case of a resale, although there is a recovery partition, however it may be hard to get it to load without a Windows OS there not sure. | 03:41 |
| Ari-Yang | what are you trying to install? perhaps there's a linux equivalent? | 03:41 |
| kirankumar | thanks sir, good day | 03:42 |
| wheatthin_ | !language | grendal-prime lol | 03:42 |
| ubottu | grendal-prime lol: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 03:42 |
| grendal-prime | ya ya sorry | 03:42 |
| DoverMo | kirankumar, yeah. depending on the virtulization software, you can have less support, but in general it should run most things that aren't acient | 03:42 |
| DoverMo | ancient* | 03:42 |
| grendal-prime | wilee-nilee, ok, so ill refort the drive with another machine to ntfs | 03:42 |
| DoverMo | ancient being anything that's 1998 or older | 03:43 |
| kirankumar | i try. | 03:43 |
| kirankumar | thanks | 03:43 |
| wilee-nilee | grendal-prime, The recovery disc s like 120MB very small a command line and some repair tools, I would not rely on it as a full UEFI repair if you remove stuff, the windows channel would more accurate here. | 03:43 |
| wilee-nilee | grendal-prime, I'm not an OCD person, except in cloning my OS so as to be able to get back running quickly if needed. | 03:44 |
| wilee-nilee | gotta reboot | 03:45 |

| anonnumberanon | Can I get some help installing Ubuntu on my laptop? | 03:46 |
| DoverMo | grendal-prime, cant you just use fdisk D: ? | 03:46 |
| grendal-prime | wilee-nilee, ya the thing that drives me nuts...i have to install windows to uninsttall windows. | 03:47 |
| grendal-prime | dover..you mean like boot into a live disk and run that? | 03:47 |
| DoverMo | grendal-prime, yeah | 03:47 |
| grendal-prime | DoverMo, nope.. you cant boot into a live disk with uefi | 03:47 |
| DoverMo | grendal-prime, that sucks D: | 03:47 |
| grendal-prime | DoverMo, this is the lamest (and im not allowed to cuss..so im using lame lame lame est) thing i have ever seen | 03:48 |

| grendal-prime | SonikkuAmerica, ya but you need to understand that this does not bode well for us. one of the things about ubuntu has always been plug it in and your off and running. | 03:50 |
| grendal-prime | now (and i have installed this os on allot of machines) its plug it in and hope it does not kill off the boot partiotion. | 03:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | grendal-prime: Well all the devs need to do is fix it for UEFI. | 03:50 |
| DoverMo | grendal-prime, linux is constantly working on uefi support, it's not their fault | 03:51 |

| SuperNoeMan | hey, I'm on lubuntu, an ubuntu derivative, can anybody find me a package archive link that I can add to my sources so I can install qtwebkitwidgets? | 03:52 |
| grendal-prime | and the worst part is its for windows8 its like they knew everyone was going to hate it so much they are making it really hard to install anything on a new pc. | 03:52 |
| SuperNoeMan | it doesn't seem to be available to me when I do apt-cache search qt5webkitwidgets | 03:52 |
| SuperNoeMan | also, if someone could just do exactly that search, and tell me what they get that would be awesome, | 03:53 |
| SuperNoeMan | because I don't know how different lubuntu's sources list is from ubuntu | 03:53 |
| Supercomp | how to customize backgrounds in ubuntu 13.04 | 03:53 |
| wilee-nilee | SuperNoeMan, Same sources list | 03:53 |
| SuperNoeMan | wilee-nilee: oh shit... | 03:53 |
| Beck21 | same | 03:53 |
| grendal-prime | ok | 03:53 |
| SuperNoeMan | well then how do I get qtwebkitwidgets... | 03:53 |
| grendal-prime | sooooo...still does not see the drive | 03:53 |
| grendal-prime | is there a disk management tool in win 8? anyhwere | 03:54 |
| SuperNoeMan | hmm... so the base cause is I'm using cmake to build a piece of software | 03:54 |
| wilee-nilee | grendal-prime, Yeah in the admin search type disk mana and t will show. | 03:54 |
| Supercomp | In earlier versions of ubuntu i could find the background of windows could be changed | 03:55 |
| wilee-nilee | I think it is disk management or manager it's a virtual partitioner | 03:55 |
| SuperNoeMan | and its telling me it cannot find a package configuration file provided by Qt5Location | 03:55 |
| trism | SuperNoeMan: how about libqt5webkit5-dev | 03:55 |
| SuperNoeMan | that... | 03:55 |
| SuperNoeMan | trism: hold on | 03:55 |

| grendal-prime | this is lame | 03:59 |
| DoverMo | Supercomp, google it to see if you can. otherwise you can just compile your own, or run something like firefox long term, or nightly | 04:00 |
| SuperNoeMan | trism: awesome. Now on to the next needed library: | 04:00 |
| SuperNoeMan | it wants qt5sensors | 04:00 |
| Supercomp | ok | 04:00 |
| SuperNoeMan | do you have some variant of a qt5sensors-dev or something? | 04:00 |
| DoverMo | Supercomp, or firefox aurora | 04:00 |
| SuperNoeMan | because I don't have a libqt5sensors5-dev | 04:00 |
| anonnumberanon | these guides did not help I get the flashing cursor problem at boot before installation. I also tried my Puppy Linux usb key but I get the same flashing cursor. | 04:00 |
| Supercomp | <DoverMo>i have firefox 21 | 04:01 |
| trism | SuperNoeMan: qtsensors5-dev seems to be it | 04:01 |
| DoverMo | Supercomp, ok o3o | 04:01 |
| DoverMo | Supercomp, options, compile your own firefox, or get firefox esr, aurora, or nightly | 04:02 |

| grendal-prime | sometimes...we...(people) do that. | 04:11 |
| anonnumberanon | wilee-nilee you have to also find it amusing that we both had almost the same laptop, if not then you have to be a bot | 04:11 |
| nabn | so the graphics problem is still not fixed. here's what i did: updated from the main source. tried to ppa-purge ubuntu-tweak, but the ppa was not in use. Now i am doing a sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-tweak. Hope things work out | 04:12 |
| wilee-nilee | grendal-prime, did not see them I have them on ignore, I saw no reason to follow idle chat. | 04:12 |
| grendal-prime | anonnumberanon, what version you trying to install? | 04:13 |
| grendal-prime | see this really sucks..any other machine id have the os installed and had the software on it 1 hour ago. | 04:13 |
| anonnumberanon | 12.04 because that is the version that Unetbootin had when I fired it up. | 04:13 |
| grendal-prime | ya. thats what i tried with it as well | 04:13 |

| anonnumberanon | nope | 04:17 |

| holstein | yva: how does the live CD that you have put on USB boot the desktop? well? as expected? | 05:05 |
| yva | Not sure anymore. I don't even thing I have it on the usb stick anymore | 05:06 |
| holstein | yva: what i would do is remove the graphics driver from the equation | 05:07 |
| yva | If that's of any help, it works with firefox or empathy | 05:07 |

| grendal-prime | ya, im going for it with 13.04 | 05:08 |
| grendal-prime | wft i just dont care anymore | 05:09 |
| silv3r_m00n | ubuntu is derived from debian, does that mean that every new version of ubuntu uses every new version of debian ? or did it just use debian once when it began ? | 05:09 |
| yva | holstein, yes | 05:09 |
| grendal-prime | if it doesnt work..ill send the thing back It was supposed to have win 7 on it. It even has the win7 key stuck on it still but they put win 8 on it when they shipped it. | 05:09 |
| DoverMo | grendal-prime, you could try 13.10, or fedora | 05:09 |
| DoverMo | grendal-prime, send it back! | 05:10 |
| holstein | yva: open the applications with the issues from the terminal and see if you see any errors | 05:10 |

| anonnumberanon | same, doing it for my roommate | 05:10 |
| kingnick42 | anyone had experience install Steam on ubuntu 12.04? | 05:11 |
| grendal-prime | ya 350 buck machine... I like the system 76 stuff. | 05:11 |
| yva | holstein, just tried gedit and no errors | 05:11 |
| kostkon | kingnick42, what's the problem | 05:11 |
| holstein | !steam | kingnick42 worked as expected for me | 05:11 |
| ubottu | kingnick42 worked as expected for me: Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 05:11 |
| grendal-prime | i have some things that bother me with the 76 machine..but really nothing like this sort of crap. | 05:11 |
| kingnick42 | kostkon - I installed steam, no problems, it works fine. Downloaded TF2, it won't start. Starts to load (Get a black screen with a mouse cursor, and sound for like a second), then it crashes/closes, and it throws me back to steam | 05:13 |
| grendal-prime | i just cant believe all these hardware companys just paid ms to own there bioses. | 05:13 |
| anonnumberanon | what? | 05:13 |
| anonnumberanon | that made no sense | 05:13 |

| kostkon | kingnick42, ok | 05:14 |
| kingnick42 | note, I'm on a laptop, with a 610M graphics card, with bumblebee installed. I am using the optirun command when launching Steam, and I've tried both launching TF2 from there, and again directly from the terminal, again with the optirun command. | 05:14 |
| inflex | hiya, got an Acer laptop with Intel GPU chipset, connected to a dell 24" 1920x1200 screen via HDMI, however I also want the laptop screen to be used. xrandr shows them both 'connected' but I can't seem to get the laptop to show anything | 05:15 |
| kingnick42 | kostkon - I've got it working on 12.04 in the past, can't remember doing anything differently. | 05:15 |
| inflex | If I use gnome-control-center and try to apply the screen settings it just errors :( | 05:15 |
| kostkon | kingnick42, that's strange | 05:15 |
| kingnick42 | inflex - go to system settings -> displays | 05:15 |
| inflex | kingnick42: yep, tried that, "failed to apply configuration: %s" | 05:16 |
| kingnick42 | inflex - there should be a function shortcut on your laptop keyboard that switches displays. Does this work? | 05:16 |
| inflex | DBus.Error.UnknownMethod: No such interface `org.gnome.SettingsDaemon.XRANDR_2' on object at path /org/gnome/SettingsDaemon/XRANDR | 05:16 |

| inflex | kingnick42: seems to be non-responsive in this instance. | 05:17 |
| kingnick42 | inflex - hmm, that's strange. | 05:17 |

| anonnumberanon | I'm not trying to be arroguant or anything, I'm just trying to limit the damage to myself. | 05:21 |
| kostkon | kingnick42, are there any options for tf2 you can change in steam? | 05:22 |
| grendal-prime | i hate it..thing is that guy explains why uefi is a pain. And its because MS strong armed them. it also explains how to get around the issue in theory. | 05:22 |
| anonnumberanon | I should just pull out the hard drive and hook it up to my desktop | 05:22 |
| grendal-prime | which might help you | 05:22 |
| grendal-prime | its a installed boot loader its on the mb | 05:22 |

| anonnumberanon | grendal-prime, I don't understand what you are saying | 05:32 |
| grendal-prime | ok | 05:34 |
| grendal-prime | i enabled boot options in the bios. | 05:34 |
| grendal-prime | i set a administrator password. | 05:34 |
| grendal-prime | i stuck(forcefully) a usb stick with 1304 on it into the machine. rebooted told it to boot from the usb and im installing. | 05:35 |
| grendal-prime | and i told it to get rid of win8 | 05:35 |
| grendal-prime | we will see | 05:35 |
| anonnumberanon | wait you are saying that it worked? | 05:36 |
| grendal-prime | if it croaks..im done i give back the money that was spent on the hardware and i take the job i was offered this mouring | 05:36 |
| anonnumberanon | ok if this stick does not work I will reformat it in ntfs, then if not work, I will pull out the hard drive and wipe it, maybe it has been compromised | 05:41 |
| grendal-prime | im confused | 05:41 |
| grendal-prime | you are installing ubntu from a disk that is formated as ntfs? | 05:42 |

| grendal-prime | that makes no sence whatsoever | 05:42 |
| anonnumberanon | explain why | 05:42 |

| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 05:43 |
| grendal-prime | because literally..when you build from an iso an install disk..its going to whip the device..its going to install put it into its requred file system. | 05:43 |
| curatrix | anonnumberanon: You need to use the iso to make a bootable image .....not just copy it onto the usb | 05:43 |
| anonnumberanon | It does not wipe the device it installs over it. | 05:44 |
| wilee-nilee | you can dd the ubuntu iso to a usb | 05:45 |
| grendal-prime | dont know what your using dude | 05:45 |
| grendal-prime | dd is block level | 05:45 |
| anonnumberanon | curatrix I am using boot creating software, I'm not just copying the files to the usb | 05:45 |
| grendal-prime | an iso is an image of a file system | 05:45 |
| grendal-prime | holstein, this is relavent to the install of ubuntu. | 05:45 |
| holstein | 01:43 < grendal-prime> did you smoke something first? | 05:46 |
| holstein | ^^ that is not | 05:46 |
| curatrix | anonnumberanon: I would try a different proggie then......it should work flawlessly unless the iso is damaged | 05:46 |
| grendal-prime | legitamate question | 05:46 |
| holstein | grendal-prime: im not trying to be rude, just follow guidelines please | 05:46 |
| grendal-prime | to evaluate if the problem is between the desk and chair | 05:47 |

| grendal-prime | no he is not | 05:47 |
| NoiseFreak | moin jemand da der mir mit conky helfen kann? | 05:47 |
| curatrix | anonnumberanon: You could try downloading the iso again | 05:47 |
| grendal-prime | if you are using any prog that understands what an iso is..its going to create (block by block someone correct me if im wrong) a bootable disk with the file formate required for it to run | 05:48 |
| curatrix | grendal-prime: Thats right | 05:48 |
| NoiseFreak | sorry anyone here can help me with conky? | 05:49 |
| holstein | NoiseFreak: whats the isssue? | 05:49 |
| NoiseFreak | its dosent run and i don't know how to create a configfile | 05:50 |
| anonnumberanon | curatrix, I have tried 2 usb makers already including Unetbootin. I believe the boot record has been compromised by a virus. | 05:50 |
| anonnumberanon | wilee-nilee, yes I believe I will try your way next | 05:51 |
| holstein | NoiseFreak: do you have it installed? i usually run it from the terminal while im setting it up so i can just kil it easily | 05:51 |
| rudolf_ | hi | 05:51 |
| NoiseFreak | i have installed with sudo apt-get install conky-all | 05:52 |
| curatrix | anonnumberanon: It should just wipe the bootable section when the iso is written. I doubt that it would bbe a virus/worm/trojan. It is more likely an issue with the iso or the flash drive | 05:52 |
| wilee-nilee | anonnumberanon, Have you md5summed the ISO, a virus in linux would be my last choice hardly likely. | 05:52 |
| holstein | NoiseFreak: im sure you checked this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky | 05:52 |
| grendal-prime | boooyaaaa im up | 05:52 |
| grendal-prime | it worked | 05:52 |

| holstein | NoiseFreak: check the link i gave https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpConky | 05:53 |

| anonnumberanon | guys you tell me to check the ISO but Puppy Linux did not work either! That is my recovery-go-to usb stick and it did not work. | 05:54 |
| curatrix | rudolf_: Close the download manager first | 05:55 |
| nabn | hi wilee-nilee. using the x-swat ppa didn't work. | 05:55 |
| grendal-prime | see the "were you smoking something" comment was warrented! | 05:55 |
| nabn | wilee-nilee, (referring to the graphics problem in acer computer earlier) | 05:55 |
| rudolf_ | curatrix, what does autoremove do? | 05:55 |
| anonnumberanon | wilee-nilee, if that is the reason why I am getting all these hardships, then I really will have learned something new. | 05:55 |
| curatrix | rudolf_: It should check the system for unrequired packages and remove them | 05:56 |
| wilee-nilee | nabn, Right, my question was had you used these already and they may be part of the problem, not to use them necessarily. You had tried to purge PPA's not knowng which one might be the problem. | 05:56 |
| nabn | my graphics driver : VESA: Intel®Ironlake Mobile Graphics | 05:56 |
| rudolf_ | Does it remove wine or does it have other functions too? | 05:56 |
| NoiseFreak | holstein i need help -.- | 05:56 |
| grendal-prime | i thought you were using a windows 8 machine? | 05:56 |
| rudolf_ | curatrix, ok | 05:56 |
| curatrix | rudolf_: You could also try sudo apt-get purge wine but I find autoremove will generally pick up on anything that shouldnt be istalled | 05:56 |
| NoiseFreak | Create an empty file in your home folder and name it .conkyrc. how i do this? | 05:57 |
| yva | holstein, any chance I could repair? I'd like not to have to reinstall everything | 05:57 |
| grendal-prime | ok i have to know this... anonnumberanon you are creating these install usb sticks from where? | 05:57 |
| inflex | touch .conkyrc | 05:57 |

| curatrix | I used the force | 06:07 |
| rusty0101 | That message means that some application has the dpkg database open. If you're doing an apt-get, or trying to run aptitude or synaptic, it's likely that the reason you got the message is that download manager has the database open. | 06:07 |

| Powermaniac | wilee-nilee: Can this be used via a usb as this is on a netbook with no CD drive | 06:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Powermaniac, There are a handful of others as well, depends on what you removed I suspect. | 06:09 |
| Powermaniac | wilee-nilee: A whole bunch of music but more importantly family photos | 06:10 |
| Powermaniac | wilee-nilee the music can be easily recovered the photos I' | 06:10 |
| Powermaniac | I'm not entirely sure | 06:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Powermaniac, You can run it from a live ubuntu cd | 06:10 |
| wilee-nilee | or usb | 06:10 |

| anonnumberanon | wilee-nilee, should I be safe connecting the hard drive to my PC without a virtual machine? All I will do is format it. | 06:31 |
| KriShANsiN | wilee-nilee: i just registered this nick, now what do i do ? | 06:32 |
| wilee-nilee | anonnumberanon, I can't definitively answer that. If t were me I would do it from a live cd, and just plug it in probably, or just run a gparted live cd/usb and do it from the original computer. | 06:33 |
| wilee-nilee | YOU have problems though it seems geting a live cd is all. | 06:33 |
| wilee-nilee | KriShANsiN, I would check the channels you could not post in I suppose, not sure what you goals are here. | 06:34 |
| wilee-nilee | your* | 06:34 |
| KriShANsiN | wilee-nilee: well i was able to "send to channel" now with this nick so thanks for that, now how i i block my ip | 06:35 |
| wilee-nilee | KriShANsiN, Freenode wil do it now with a small donation, or for free after a couple of weeks | 06:35 |
| KriShANsiN | wilee-nilee: oh ok | 06:35 |
| wilee-nilee | KriShANsiN, Some people use tor, but that seems a bit over the top so to speak. | 06:36 |
| KriShANsiN | wilee-nilee: how do i disable blutooth from coming live everytime i boot up? and if i dont use blutooth anyway can i just purge it? and what is tor again? is that a proxy thing that is way too complicated for me right now because i had a nice paid proxy on my mac called NetShade was very nice. | 06:37 |
| KriShANsiN | NetShade was worth the money i spent on it, it was my best software purchase ever, lots of annonnimity from that. | 06:38 |
| KriShANsiN | wilee-nilee: i looked at tor for like 2 seconds and i almost had a heart attack | 06:39 |
| wilee-nilee | KriShANsiN, You can turn off the bluetooth start in startup applications, however you have to run a command to fill it to see what starts up. Tor is a proxy that bounces the data to hide your true IP. | 06:39 |
| KriShANsiN | wilee-nilee: can i purge bluetooth? can i purge the driver for my camera on the front of my computer, and i think i will youtube tutorial search for tor how to. | 06:40 |
| wilee-nilee | KriShANsiN, Here is a link on the startup application. http://linuxg.net/how-to-display-the-hidden-startup-applications-on-ubuntu-13-04/ | 06:40 |

| BigWig | Hello, I'm trying to configure a playstation one emulator, however it requires "opengl library". Problem is the package manager returns a ton of different packages, which one do I need? | 09:17 |
| curatrix | walltender: it should be disabled. I was just seeing if it was the acpi (power management) link with the network adapter | 09:20 |

| walltender | curatrix: So you thinks that's the problem. | 09:23 |
| ThePendulum | woop woop I messed up grub | 09:24 |
| idanoo | highfive! | 09:24 |
| curatrix | walltender: To be honest, I have come across the k20network-manager before - and been unsuccessful - I am still trying to figure out why the lenovo's have the hang issue | 09:25 |
| walltender | curatrix: You mean, the same problem happens to you. How did you solve it in the end? | 09:26 |
| ThePendulum | I repartitioned my SSD and apparently GRUB/BURG suffered from that. Is there a way to fix it? | 09:27 |
| curatrix | walltender: No, i have just come across this issue before with others (I generally buy/use toshiba's) | 09:27 |
| reisio | ThePendulum: grub-install | 09:28 |
| reisio | ThePendulum: think update-grub might do it | 09:28 |
| reisio | ThePendulum: probably this same procedure: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows | 09:29 |
| curatrix | ThePendulum: It might pay to do a search for "grub-repair" | 09:29 |

| ubottu | ThePendulum, please see my private message | 09:30 |
| ThePendulum | Hmm, let's see | 09:30 |
| ThePendulum | I didn't ruin it by installing Windows btw, but I guess that doesn't matter | 09:30 |
| KriShANsiN | what does it mean when i restart my com and it says on the shutdown screen "Broadcast message unknown root@<myname> <time>" ? | 09:31 |
| idanoo | It it just notifying anyone logged on that the comp is being shutdown | 09:31 |
| idanoo | incase there are other users logged on | 09:31 |
| idanoo | it's a broadcast | 09:31 |
| KriShANsiN | idanoo: is this routine then? | 09:32 |
| idanoo | Yeah, it's completely fine :) | 09:32 |
| KriShANsiN | idanoo: ty | 09:32 |
| GutenTag | I just installed ubuntu server 13.04...but it couldn't set up the network it seems. if I run ifconfig, I don't see eth0 (should I?) | 09:32 |
| curatrix | KriShANsiN: Welcome to linux | 09:32 |
| kubanc | hellow. I have a problem with ubuntu 13.04. my wireless and ethernet card are disabled and i cannot user internet. Any idea. It looks like it's blocking network devices... | 09:32 |
| idanoo | ifconfig -a | 09:33 |
| KriShANsiN | how do i give a small donation to freenode in order to get my ip blocked out right now and how much is small? 5 usd is enough? | 09:34 |
| gordonjcp | KriShANsiN: ask in #freenode | 09:34 |
| KriShANsiN | gordonjcp: oh ok | 09:34 |
| Zeev | hello, I installed eclipse on ubuntu 12.04 and I can't resize eclipse window. anyone knows a workaround? It's menu also doesn't show on unity on the top titlebar but rather attached to the eclipse window itself when I try to resize/maximize with mouse I can't maximize buttons are not shown neither in top unity bar nor on the window itself | 09:34 |
| Daghdha | Hi, i am looking at a program in software center and as add-ons it lists MySQL. but i already have that installed. SHould i be worried? | 09:35 |
| petrus_ | hi | 09:35 |
| GutenTag | idanoo: was that for me? I've done ifconfig -a | 09:35 |
| GutenTag | there's lo, p3p1, and wlan0 | 09:35 |
| idanoo | GutenTag: yeah sorry, nothing showing? you can try a 'dmesg | grep -i eth0' | 09:36 |
| lenz | Hey there. | 09:36 |
| Daghdha | It'snot clear to me if add-ons refers to a specific item for the package. or if it applies to another package. Namely the MySQL server package that will install (And probably break) my existing one | 09:36 |
| lenz | How do I make my conky script start up by default? (autostart) | 09:36 |
| curatrix | GutenTag: inxi - N | 09:37 |
| curatrix | GutenTag: sorry correction inxi -N | 09:37 |
| GutenTag | idanoo: dmesg | grep -i eth0 returns 3 lines, the last is IPv6: .... eth0: link is not ready | 09:38 |
| GutenTag | maybe i need it to be ipv4? | 09:38 |
| Daghdha | http://img546.imageshack.us/img546/2708/3ln1.jpg | 09:39 |
| curatrix | GutenTag: it should be ipv4 (normally for a ohme network | 09:39 |
| curatrix | *home | 09:39 |
| GutenTag | curatrix: can you help with a good google search phrase to (re)configure it for ipv4? | 09:41 |
| curatrix | GutenTag: Or you could enable ipv6 on your router if it is available. either should work | 09:41 |
| curatrix | GutenTag: Checking... | 09:41 |
| petrus_ | http://www.webupd8.org/2013/05/get-weather-or-system-info-on-your.html | 09:41 |
| Daghdha | Why does it want to install another mySQL? | 09:42 |
| petrus_ | there are instructions for the conky script as well | 09:42 |
| curatrix | GutenTag: This might do it http://www.ihavetheknowledge.nl/eng/Linux/Distributions/Ubuntu/Disable-IPv6-in-Ubuntu | 09:44 |

| MonkeyDust | genesis_ is that a server? if yes: #ubuntu-server | 09:54 |
| GutenTag | no luck | 09:54 |
| Zeev | so I can't resize/maximise eclipse window. I've read about this bug: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=330563 , also this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/16736/menu-missing-in-lotus-notes-8-and-eclipse-in-unity, and I can't even find: /usr/lib/gtk-2.0/2.10.0/menuproxies/libappmenu.so in my ubuntu 12.04 there's only /usr/lib/gtk-3.0 directory with no 'menuproxies' subdir under it. | 09:55 |
| ubottu | bugs.eclipse.org bug 330563 in SWT "Menu doesn't appear on Ubuntu with Unity desktop" [Critical,Closed: not_eclipse] | 09:55 |
| GutenTag | curatrix: i get the same output when I run dmesg -- but I can't tell if this is OLD output or new. | 09:55 |
| genesis_ | we can setup a server sure | 09:56 |
| Zeev | does eclipse work with ubuntu 13.04? I want to be able to resize/minimize eclipse - is it possible with a keyboard | 09:56 |

| MonkeyDust | Zeev 140+ people in #eclipse | 10:02 |
| kubanc | hello! when i did sudo dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-3.2.0-48-generic i get: Sorry a problem accurred while installing software: package: compat-wireless-alx-dkms | 10:03 |
| DJones | sulab3: It looks like its Windows only, you may find that you can run it with Wine, but it could be buggy/not work, its not something I've seen asked about here. It might be worth asking in ##winehq which is the specilised channel for Wine issues | 10:04 |
| MonkeyDust | !appdb | sulab3 read this to find out | 10:04 |

| ThePendulum | How do I set the device when using grub-install? | 10:08 |
| DJones | sulab3: There is also http://www.codeweavers.com/ which is paid for method of installing some windows app's which could be an option is basic wine won't work with that app | 10:10 |
| === autra_ is now known as autra | ||
| sulab3 | ok :) | 10:11 |
| DJones | sulab3: Just as a last thought, if you're computer is able, you could run Windows in virtualbox to run the app (maybe a last resort) :) | 10:12 |
| sulab3 | yes thank you i heard that but i wanted to get rid of windows... | 10:13 |
| GutenTag | ok, I don't have an eth0, but I do have a p3p1 device...is that really my eth0? | 10:16 |

| Zeev | MonkeyDust: u know by any chance how to resize window with keyboard, idk about menu not showing I just want to resize the window and when I hover with mouse over the border resize cursor doesn't appear | 10:21 |
| Zeev | eclipse's window border* | 10:22 |
| lenz | I know there is some kind of autostart file somewhere | 10:22 |
| MonkeyDust | Zeev maybe look for a linux equivalent for lotus | 10:22 |
| wilee-nilee | lenz, You can use startup applications it is in the menu, look at this link to unhide what is there then make a launcher pointing to that script. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ShowHiddenStartupApplications | 10:23 |

| lenz | but isn't there some init file IIRC? | 10:28 |
| mic__ | im using 12.01 and it recognizes the network | 10:28 |
| MonkeyDust | mic__ it's either 12.04 or 12.10 | 10:29 |

| bekks | kubanc: Earlier, you said your Intel wired card worked. | 10:56 |
| kubanc | bekks, i don't have intel wireless card | 10:56 |

| Minux | please i need help i joined now by guest account and i need to install new account from settings menu but it don't work :( | 11:03 |
| MonkeyDust | d8bhatta try #ubuntu-server | 11:03 |
| Minux | please any help with creat new account ?? | 11:04 |
| minimec | Minux: The guest account will not allow you to create a new user. You have to use the 'sudo' user to do so. | 11:05 |
| Minux | so please can u tell me how i can use the sudo ?? | 11:05 |
| bekks | Minux: Log in as your normal user, and create the user then. | 11:06 |
| Minux | i'm a new linux user :) | 11:06 |
| minimec | Minux: You have to use the user, you created during the ubuntu install. | 11:06 |
| sarmad | i have a problem can any one help me..? lua kit crashes in ubuntu 13.04 after some time. | 11:06 |
| Minux | yea but when i put my user it told me something wrong with user or password | 11:07 |
| minimec | Minux: My first check in that case is always 'caps lock' Is it activated? Wsa it activated, when you set the password? | 11:08 |
| Minux | no it was small letter | 11:08 |
| curatrix | Minux: You can check the username by looking in the /home directory. There will be a directory with the same name as the username | 11:09 |
| minimec | Minux: Ok. What you can do is to boot in 'recovery mode', drop to a root shell and create a new user or change the password for the existing user. Did you encrypt youd harddrive or the user data partition? | 11:09 |
| Minux | so where is the home directory ?? | 11:09 |
| curatrix | Minux: Can you open a file manager | 11:10 |
| Minux | i installed my linux from windows 7 | 11:10 |
| Minux | yes i can open file manager | 11:10 |
| curatrix | Minux: You should be able to see the /home directory from the root directory eg / | 11:11 |
| Minux | yea now i can see the home directory | 11:12 |
| kubanc | i mountet two same folders in /media. how do i remove one of them? | 11:12 |
| curatrix | can you open it and see inside | 11:12 |
| Minux | no just see the folders and it's empty | 11:13 |
| curatrix | if you have only one user on your system, it should only have one directory in /home | 11:13 |
| curatrix | Minux: Are you using the live ubuntu? | 11:14 |
| Minux | yes | 11:14 |
| MonkeyDust | ah | 11:14 |
| * curatrix chuckles | 11:14 | |
| MonkeyDust | Minux from there, you can install, create a user etc | 11:15 |
| curatrix | Minux: Nothing has been installed. You would have to physically install ubuntu to the hard disk. At the moment you are using the RAM as a virtual hard disk | 11:15 |

| serenoa | having problems with unity dash, taking ~30-45seconds to open, suspect due to specific lens, any way i can disable individual lenses without uninstalling app itself? [can't find active 'lens toggle' repo anywhere] | 12:28 |
| cfhowlett | ofhs, professional recording? Get an interface. The presonus one box reads linux/ubuntu with no problem. Also, a usb mic is likely pretty low end on the sound spectrum. The Presonus 1 Box is a recording kit with interface, OK headphones and decent entry-level mic. | 12:29 |
| gordonjcp | cfhowlett: I think ofhs probably pinged out before seeing that, oh well | 12:31 |
| gordonjcp | cfhowlett: one of the big problems is that stuff just says "Mac and Windows Compatible" on the box, but doesn't mention Linux | 12:32 |
| gordonjcp | if it's class-compliant, it'll work | 12:32 |
| gordonjcp | also, MOTU are evil | 12:32 |

| serenoa | pretty sure this dodgy lens was installed by everpad, despite disabling 'search on the home lens' results are still appearing, can i disable/toggle the lens without removing the whole program? thanks | 12:35 |
| bekks | rizz__: without dhclient, you wont get a DHCP IP. | 12:35 |
| rizz__ | bekks: ok thanks i'll keep it enabled then. does it need to listen for connections or can I firewall it on my machine? i dont like open ports | 12:37 |

| nnrr | i set very brightness using setpci. it works fine while on ac power. but on battery, brightness keeps resetting. any idea how to prevent it? | 12:47 |
| bekks | serenoa: everpad is painfully slow. Just use the website login, which is more fast and more convinient. | 12:48 |
| bekks | serenoa: And in everpad, go into the settings and disable "search on the home lens". | 12:48 |
| serenoa | bekks: i disabled that already, however it's still being included in search results, and i can't see the lens package listed like you said | 12:49 |
| nnrr | i set very low brightness using setpci. it works fine while on ac power. but on battery, brightness keeps resetting. any idea how to prevent it? | 12:49 |
| bekks | serenoa: Because the "home lens" basically is just "search in your home folder". | 12:50 |

| djono | is there a learning curve coming from fedora to ubuntu ?? | 12:52 |

| djono | is it really big?? | 12:53 |

| cfhowlett | djono, no it's exacly 3.14 inches | 12:53 |
| serenoa | bekks: are you saying that can't be done without removing everpad? | 12:53 |
| cfhowlett | djono, "big" "small" are subjective terms. | 12:53 |
| djono | well seems like ubuntu and its variants are becoming increasingly popular even new distros would be based on them. Fedora to me is waning in popularity and support | 12:54 |
| bekks | serenoa: I say: It cant be done without removing unity. | 12:55 |
| djono | are they pretty much the same? | 12:56 |
| === roasted_ is now known as roasted | ||
| bekks | djono: Fedora is RHEL based, Ubuntu is debian-based. Pretty much everything in terms of configuration is different. | 12:57 |
| auronandace | djono: if you use the same desktop environment as on fedora then you'll not notice much of a difference at all | 12:57 |
| serenoa | bekks: right that's what i thought, the only other solution seemed to be python-lenstoggler if the repo was active | 12:58 |
| serenoa | bekks: thanks anyway | 12:58 |
| bekks | serenoa: the "home lens" isnt a separate lens. Its a basic functionality of Unity. You cant toggle it. | 12:58 |
| djono | Everytime i go to a website for some programs. IF they have a linux section its always debian ubumtu or seldom fedora. also are all DE available for every distro? | 12:58 |
| serenoa | bekks: i don't know what home lens is, all i know is it takes almost a minute to open the unity search panel, probably because it's looking through my whole everpad index | 12:59 |
| serenoa | bekks: i just want to toggle everpad search results in the hope it will fix that lag | 12:59 |
| auronandace | djono: in any distro you use you really ought to stick to the default repos rather than install things from websites | 12:59 |
| cfhowlett | djono, let's say most. I don't even know what "all" the DE's are. | 12:59 |
| cfhowlett | djono, auronandace is spot on. Installing stuff from random sites is the linux equivalent of unprotected sex. | 13:00 |
| acovrig | I want to use python with apache but need to be able to run a specific file as root, the closest thing I came up with is visudo ->NOPASSWD:<path to python file> and having PHP do a shell_exec(sudo <path to file>) is there a better way of doing this? | 13:01 |
| djono | so lets say the say site doesn't have a certain distro listed. there could possibly be a version in the non listed distros repo? | 13:01 |
| auronandace | djono: you should check the repos first before you look at any site | 13:02 |
| cfhowlett | djono, possibly. or compile from source. | 13:02 |
| DJones | djono: If you can't find an application you need in the repo's, you can look at ppa's or as a last resort compile from source | 13:02 |
| auronandace | djono: anything you install from outside the repos will get no support here | 13:02 |
| djono | buddy of mine uses ubuntu and he has lxde. his wife uses for the gui cause she is not as technical as him and he prefers lxde. I rhought that was cool cause it seems like its fresh always | 13:03 |
| djono | is unity available on fedora? sorry for asking in ubuntu | 13:06 |
| auronandace | djono: ask in fedora | 13:07 |
| cfhowlett | djono, ask fedora | 13:07 |
| djono | see thats what i mean. the ubuntu community is bigger hehe. didnt know there is a fedora channel | 13:08 |

| cfhowlett | adamk_, I assumed ram and gpu would be the limiting factors... | 13:25 |
| cfhowlett | alexlexer, greetings | 13:25 |
| dotcom | cfhowlett: Very likely. I was thinking that is there any tweak or something that "Document Viewer" uses more computer resources for some time for time. | 13:26 |
| dotcom | adamk_: Yes. The resolutions of images is high in that pdf file. | 13:26 |
| dotcom | And my computer specs are also quite low | 13:27 |
| * cfhowlett quotes South Park: I learned something today! | 13:27 | |
| adamk_ | I'd guess the RAM has more bearing than the GPU. It's probably just trying to load those images into memory... | 13:27 |

| curatrix | FourFire: Only if you cancel the one that is running (not recommended) | 14:58 |
| FourFire | oh ok | 14:58 |
| FourFire | well I hope some really smart altruistic person is working on making that possible for a later version then... | 14:59 |
| curatrix | FourFire: Nope. it isn't wise to try and simultaneously install different packages | 15:00 |
| FourFire | ok that's interesting could you tell me vaguely why? | 15:01 |
| dotcom | reisio: Yes, i can. But all these are either English translated or not upto a particular format. But i want this in a particular format like Mantras written in Sanskrit followed by commentary in Hindi language distinguished by numbers and only that website has this. | 15:01 |
| bastidrazor | curatrix: it isn't possible to run multiple package managers at the same time | 15:01 |
| reisio | dotcom: I doubt that, but I can appreciate having only found it in the form of this website so far | 15:02 |
| Slart | dotcom: this one-liner should work.. I hope it doesn't download too much.. keep an eye on it for n in {1..100}; do wget -p "http://www.aryasamajjamnagar.org/rugveda/p$n.htm"; done | 15:07 |
| Slart | dotcom: then when you have those you can always use one of the "images to pdf" tools that are available.. it should be as easy as pictures_to_pdf *.gif mypdf.pdf or whatever the tool is called | 15:08 |
| dotcom | I am already doing this in httrack and noticed that these pages contain all images (GIF) and they are sequenced too like p1.gif, p2.gif,............. | 15:11 |
| Slart | dotcom: ah.. nevermind then | 15:12 |
| dotcom | So now all i need to do is let httrack to run until it downloads all of these gifs and then i can convert them into pdf easily. | 15:13 |

| bekks | krz: Why? | 15:38 |
| krz | bekks: because | 15:38 |
| bekks | krz: Erm, misread you :) | 15:38 |
| krz | i use vim, tmux and other bg process' in the terminal | 15:39 |
| bekks | krz: I guess there are parameters for the terminal application to start in fullscreen. | 15:39 |
| krz | so id like to start the terminal in full width and height without having to click on any buttons | 15:39 |
| krz | bekks: not full screen. just full width and height | 15:39 |
| bekks | krz: the full width of - the screen? | 15:40 |
| bekks | krz: Still the answer stays the same. | 15:40 |
| zykotick9 | krz: what terminal emulator are you using? gnome-terminal, xterm, urxvt, etc? look for options in whichever you use (or see if your window manager, has some "start fullscreen" option perhaps?) good luck. | 15:40 |
| krz | bekks: yep | 15:40 |
| krz | zykotick9: gnome-terminal | 15:40 |
| holstein | krz: i usually just jab f11, for fullscreen.. but you can start them with arguments for size and position AFAIK | 15:40 |
| krz | holstein: i dotn want full screen | 15:40 |
| krz | i want full width and height | 15:41 |
| krz | you know the square icon on the menu bar | 15:41 |
| krz | i want the same effect | 15:41 |
| krz | without having to click on it | 15:41 |
| holstein | krz: correct.. that is my first statmement above, the option i do, that i was offering.. alternatively, you can start it with arguments | 15:41 |
| krz | square icon = maximize | 15:41 |
| holstein | krz: check the man page, and you should see what the size arguments are | 15:42 |
| zykotick9 | krz: if you use tmux, that's gonna vary (making that difficult or impossible)... sorry, i mistook fullscreen origionally like veryone else ; | 15:42 |

| syntroPi | holstein, the problem seems to be that gnome3 wouldnt honour "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" | 15:52 |
| zykotick9 | syntroPi: i've run into similar issues in the past - you might want to try checking the values of "sudo update-alternatives --config x-www-browser" AND the gnome-related one! (i don't have gnome installed right now so i can't check it's name, but try "sudo update-alternatives --config <TAB><TAB>" and i hope you see a list! look for something like gnome-www-browser or somthing. make sure both are set to what you want your default browser to b | 15:52 |
| holstein | syntroPi: so, *all* of the applications in gnome 3 are not using what you chose? | 15:52 |
| syntroPi | yes | 15:53 |
| Laievskaia | well, i'll try that | 15:53 |

| syntroPi | holstein, i remember in gnome 2 there was a default applications setting but i cant find it in stupid gnome 3 | 15:53 |
| wheatthin | krz, just set it by rows and columns | 15:54 |
| holstein | syntroPi: i read that its in "system information" | 15:54 |
| wheatthin | until it fits your screen | 15:54 |
| syntroPi | holstein, aah there we go, thanks a lot. gnome 3 sometimes makes me want to bang my head to the wall LoL | 15:56 |
| wheatthin | syntroPi, it's just different :) | 15:56 |

| ben__ | Laievskaia - yes /dev stands for devices - those are things you mount to other locations - you are trying to make a directory that would actually be a hard drive disk - and since that would not be just a directory, it will not be able to 'make' a hard drive | 16:26 |

| wheatthin | Laievskaia, where is your installation located? | 16:36 |
| ben__ | tjr9898, i find when setting up new things (drivers... etc)... this is easier done through a shell rather than gui anyways - because of personal experience with some gui tools attempting to add something like a proprietary driver, and if the GUI tool is using commands that are out of date and not working, it can be hard to tell what the problem is... and helps you learn small amounts about how the system works | 16:36 |

| ben__ | tjr9898, ubtuntu and linux in general trys to keep things opensource, so it always tries to find a opensource driver to use - of course not all devices have an opensource driver..... but it doesn't mean they aren't supported by linux | 16:41 |

| ActionParsnip | laievskaia: omgubuntu has a guide: sticking it to grub | 16:46 |
| ben__ | trj9898, if you are using modprobe to turn on the adapter... you need to make the module permanent by adding the module name to the /etc/modules files | 16:46 |
| KriShANsiN | MonkeyDust: well, i am trying to figure out what this traffic is realted to on my UBUNTU operating system so yes. | 16:46 |

| ActionParsnip | krishnasin: do you run an irc or ntp server? | 16:47 |
| KriShANsiN | MonkeyDust: my question is, what is this traffic going on because i am not doing anything but there is tons of network traffic, i posted the traffic screenshot there and was wondering what it was. | 16:48 |
| KriShANsiN | ActionParsnip: no i do not run any server | 16:48 |
| ActionParsnip | krishansin: is that what you see? | 16:49 |
| ben__ | krishansin: I don't see tons of network traffic. I see communications with this IRC server, and basic requests from your ISP | 16:49 |
| flash | wza | 16:50 |
| MonkeyDust | KriShANsiN i didnt see your question, probably missed it | 16:50 |
| KriShANsiN | ben__: are they netBios ? can i disable that traffic | 16:51 |
| ben__ | krishansin, even an idle computer often still has network activity going on, just very little, you're looking at individual packets, one indicates an outgoing transmission or inbound query, the next usually is your computers response or the IRC server | 16:51 |
| KriShANsiN | ben__: oh really ? see i never knew that? but i did some research before asking in here and found netBios only as posssible explanation. it is good for me to know this and have learned how to not only get the live capture but to also upload it to here so you guys could see it, in fact that is a accomlishment in itself for me. | 16:52 |
| ben__ | Krishansin: which traffic exactly are you talking about? the NET, TCP, IRC or IGMP ? | 16:52 |

| MonkeyDust | DTomas unity is a gnome3 shell | 16:56 |
| ben__ | krishansin, the only thing I don't know is what the blue NTP packets are - they appear to have to do with your router tough, as they go to ip 192.168.1.100, and the IGMP packet regarding joining V2 - which is also from the same ip address, which is typically a home router | 16:56 |

| ben__ | kirshansin, despite not knowing exactly what they are, you're correct it is not anything to worry about - no hackers, and not enough data transfer for you to worry about it slowing down anything. it just appears to be your internet service and router 'jibber jabbing' - at least thats the best analogy i can think of :) | 16:58 |

| ActionParsnip | dtomas: if you use ccsm to set a shortcut to run the command | 16:59 |
| ben__ | krishansin: the .100 is likely your modem/router - and it is keeping the connection open with your internet service and forwarding the correct data to your computer... there is nothing suspicious that would indicate a hacker is trying to get in, the commands are coming from the .100 ip address, and simple queries are the only thing going to it | 17:00 |

| DTomas | yes it works, but it just does not look like screensaver started automatically by unity | 17:06 |
| bekks | ben__: you cant. | 17:07 |
| ben__ | whatthin, I thought that was the purpose of using DKMS to install a module instead of just manually installing the driver.... and these aren't updating from 12.04 to another version, it is just security and standard updates for 12.04 LTS - I guess thats what confuses me | 17:08 |
| OerHeks | ben__, if that update was a kernel you would need to compile again | 17:09 |
| wheatthin | benif it's outside a mainline module*, meaning if the kernel didn't come with the same module, then it'll allow you to update | 17:09 |
| wheatthin | otherwise it's overwritten | 17:09 |
| wheatthin | so best thing I can say, is backup your kernel module and replace it after the kernel updates | 17:10 |
| === MistaMike is now known as MistaMike|away | ||
| ben__ | what does it mean when it says part of the DKMS file tells the program: "To automatically install the module into a new kernel on boot if the capability exists (this isn't necessary if you use Ubuntu's prebuilt packages to update your kernels, but it doesn't hurt)." | 17:12 |
| wheatthin | ben_ it just means it'll automatically load the module that isn't included with the new kernel | 17:13 |
| ben__ | ok, I guess my problem is that it didn't load the module following one of the standard updates/security updates - it is set not to install any new kernels though. Since I don't know why it disappeared (likely it threw an error regarding the module during the update but I don't monitor it often), it sounds like making a back up so it can be easily re-added would be best... | 17:17 |
| armin | are the ubuntu unity compiz plugins somewhere accessible via git? | 17:18 |

| wheatthin | armin, to look for them use sudo apt-cache search compiz | 17:19 |
| ben__ | it was a couple month ago I used the command line coding to install the module and configure the dkms file and add the module, but i don't recall all the commands... can you point me in the right direction on how i'd make a back up of the module and how i'd reinstall that back up if it 'disappears' again? | 17:19 |

| tjr9898 | ls | 17:22 |
| ben__ | the driver code had to be modified in a few areas just to run with kernel versions above 3.0 --- it worked fine, but high point was too lazy to add the newer kernel versions as valid ones in their code.... then it had to be added to modules, and create a new init so it'd load on boot, etc... it'd be a lot easier to know how to back up an already installed module and use that, than it would be to attempt and reinstall the driver | 17:22 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tjr9898: That would be effective in a terminal, yes :) | 17:22 |
| ben__ | wheatthin, that is how i installed the module... | 17:23 |

| tjr9898 | SonikkuAmerica, I don't know how many times I typed ls in my web browser | 17:24 |
| wheatthin | tjr9898, that's why I was trying to have you generate a new xorg config file | 17:24 |
| tjr9898 | right and it wouldn't let me because the old conf was still there that I thought I had deleted | 17:25 |
| wheatthin | tjr9898, ahh | 17:25 |
| tjr9898 | Classic example of breathe and actually read the error messages and try to think logically | 17:25 |

| tjr9898 | Thanks all for your help | 17:26 |
| wheatthin | yup yw | 17:26 |
| ben__ | wheatthin, rather than following 'typical makefile, make install commands - I used dkms - setting up the config file for it and everything, and got the module installed using dkms - which is why i didn't think it would go anywhere if I stuck with 12.04 LTS ..... at the bottom of the link you listed, the example given IS the instructions for installing the exact driver I'm mentioning (rr26x) | 17:27 |

| BlAdE2 | grub* | 17:29 |
| ben__ | and the kernel wasn't updated either, only regular updates are being installed - it is set to stay on 12.04 LTS.... but something else that was updated must have thrown an error when dkms or initrd attempted to start or add the module - I could no longer find it listed and revert back to a previous image (the only differences were -27, -28, -29, etc at the end of the version name. I believe thats because they were just standard upda | 17:32 |
| divderdude | is there any way to install and run a simple msi file on ubuntu? its written for dotnet framework | 17:33 |
| wheatthin | ben_ update overwrite dkms config you edited/ | 17:34 |
| ben__ | so a standard update, perhaps to a code it uses (python or something else) caused it to fail to load back into the kernel , and I couldn't find the module and didn't know how else to install it other than to try and revert to an image where it was still showing up with lsmod - or to install from scratch (which between the driver code modifications, and the DKMS configuration on top of that - I really didn't want to do)... | 17:34 |
| adasz | Hello, my Operating System takes very long to boot. on the screen is the last point that i can see ' Starting Samba Winbind', in the /var/log/boot.log there is after 'Starting Samba Winbind' this point 'Stopping cold plug devices'. i think 'Stopping cold plug devices' is the reason why i takes so long to boot. | 17:35 |
| ben__ | if I knew how to make a back up for a module... and could have used that to reinstall the module itself... that would be great | 17:35 |
| wheatthin | ben_ so instead of using dkms to try and upload it, why not install it without dkms and it'll stick.. at least until the next kernel update | 17:35 |
| wheatthin | by using sudo make install | 17:36 |
| === Blender-13 is now known as joshua | ||

| wheatthin | ben_ by adding it to /etc/modules to load automatically | 17:38 |
| ben__ | well it is installed just as if I had don't makefile and make install - the only difference is that dkms is supposed to store the location of the module and directions in case the kernel is updated so it will reload the module... no kernel updates, so something else that was updated the module didn't like | 17:38 |
| ben__ | if the module lists right now under lsmod, what location/file do i need to copy in order to be able to re-install it in the future? | 17:39 |
| ben__ | I don't want to start from the beginning | 17:39 |
| adasz | compdoc, i can't se anything that is suspect http://pastie.org/8069936 | 17:40 |
| ben__ | the .ko .h - several files had to be modified to tell the driver that it was ok to install if the linux version wasn't below 3.0 | 17:40 |
| wheatthin | ben_ they'll be located somewhere in /usr/src | 17:41 |
| wheatthin | and whatever kernel is loaded, | 17:41 |
| Venks | test | 17:45 |
| wheatthin | ben__, you can use locate <modulename> and it'll show you where it's installed | 17:46 |
| ben__ | is it the ".ko" file i'd want to back up, and likely a copy of the /etc/modules file? so I cld then just copy the .ko file to the kernel tree and update the initrd to re-add the module... at least then if it doesn't load I might be able to see an error indicating why? | 17:46 |

| reisio | it's a huge waste of time for what sounds like some really vague requirements you're talking about | 18:42 |
| reisio | paul_: awe | 18:42 |
| chamunks | reisio, its not really my project i'm not heavily involved I just figured there had to be a better way and my curiosity forced me into this irc channel :P | 18:42 |
| reisio | ubuntology: course | 18:42 |
| nintet | Infix, i dont know that much about linux | 18:42 |
| reisio | chamunks: okay, so theoretically | 18:42 |
| rafael_ | reisio: thank you | 18:42 |
| chamunks | I had a 2 minute conversation about the topic is all. | 18:42 |
| chamunks | im just fitting within the proposed constraints. | 18:43 |
| Infix | nintet: You must specify a UID and GID (user) when mounting manually | 18:43 |
| ubuntology | reisio: how exactly is that? | 18:43 |
| mojtaba | Hi, Does anybody know how can I keep the hyperlink and remove the text from the spreadsheet? | 18:43 |
| chamunks | it may/maynot be sane and I proposed the same questions you are but he protested so I wont argue. | 18:43 |
| ubuntology | reisio: and is it theoretically possible to invoke a shutdown -P now on the server command using a simple web page that is designed for that? | 18:43 |
| nintet | is there a way i can get it to just mount automatic on startup or something, i just want to backup files from other disks to it | 18:43 |
| reisio | ubuntology: ask #nginx | 18:43 |
| Kitt3n | How can I install the 13.6 graphics beta drivers from AMD without corrupting my desktop? | 18:44 |
| reisio | ubuntology: yes of course | 18:44 |
| reisio | ubuntology: combined with sudo | 18:44 |
| chamunks | disk wipes were proposed back when there was much lower data density on platters where a single wipe really wasnt that effective afaik idk. | 18:44 |
| reisio | ubuntology: or suexec, etc. | 18:44 |
| reisio | for example: http://cyrilmazur.com/2010/09/suexec-behaviour-with-nginx.html | 18:44 |
| Infix | nintet: Check https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab for info on that | 18:44 |
| ubuntology | thanks a lot reisio, now I'm relaxed that it IS possible, its time for me to learn how. Thanks guys :) | 18:45 |
| mojtaba | reisio: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5790434/ | 18:45 |
| reisio | ubuntology: yeah, just details | 18:45 |
| reisio | ubuntology: I've only done that sort of thing with Apache so far, need to update my magicks | 18:45 |
| ripplebit | guys when i try to open a .sh file, (just by typing filename.sh), i get "comannd not found" | 18:45 |
| reisio | chamunks: yeah, a long time ago | 18:46 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: for executing it: chmod +x it, then ./filename.sh | 18:46 |
| reisio | chamunks: the dod standards seem not simple to find, though | 18:46 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: to open, as in read it: just open it with a text editor | 18:46 |
| ripplebit | Fuchs: as in to run | 18:46 |
| chamunks | reisio, I just figure dban may take a century or be incompatible. | 18:46 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: in order to be able to run commands by just typing the name, they have to be in a folder defined in the $PATH variable (echo $PATH) | 18:46 |
| reisio | chamunks: I'm assuming three wipes with random data will satisfy any 3-pass requirement fully, however | 18:46 |
| mojtaba | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5790434/ | 18:46 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: chmod +x filename.sh; ./filename.sh (when you are in the directory containing that file) | 18:46 |
| reisio | chamunks: it'll probably work, but it's going to be a huge waste of time | 18:46 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: only run things you trust | 18:47 |
| chamunks | reisio, i agree. | 18:47 |
| reisio | mojtaba: you haven't given enough information | 18:47 |
| ripplebit | Fuchs: it's the racket download. do i need to move it to a dir in $PATH? | 18:47 |
| === Aww is now known as EvilAww | ||
| mojtaba | reisio: what about http://paste.ubuntu.com/5790434/ | 18:47 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: I don't know what that is, but probably you can run it from anywhere with ./filename.sh | 18:47 |
| chamunks | reisio, although apparently CSIS pulled a bunch of drives from a dumpster that were drillpressed and reconstructed all data. | 18:47 |
| reisio | chamunks: sometimes I myself say "okay they asked for FOO, and that's stupid but they asked for it so I'm going to do it" | 18:48 |
| ubuntology | تحياتي مجتبى | 18:48 |
| reisio | but realistically, it's better to educate them and not waste your own time | 18:48 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: I assume it has a README, INSTALL or other sort of documentation somewhere, you might want to read that probably | 18:48 |
| paul_ | at 13.04 even conky not work,& i cry) | 18:48 |
| reisio | chamunks: yeah right :p | 18:48 |
| haylo | hey, can i enable persistence on the standard install iso ? maybe with a "persistence" boot paramter like in a normal debian live type image | 18:48 |
| reisio | mojtaba: you haven't given enough information | 18:48 |
| ripplebit | Fuchs: it's a scheme family language, but when i try ./racket.sh, i still get the error: command not found | 18:48 |
| mojtaba | ubuntology: ? | 18:48 |
| reisio | haylo: yes, with various tools, or manually | 18:48 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: are you in the correct directory, and it is executable? | 18:49 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: if you aren't in the right directory: change dir to it (cd /my/directory/containing/that/file/) | 18:49 |
| mojtaba | reisio: What do you want to know? | 18:49 |
| Fuchs | if you are, but it's not executable: chmod +x thatfile.sh | 18:49 |
| chamunks | reisio, lol fair enough. Well we will see a DD might be a good idea if we ran that with a bash script that might work much more effectively then dban or not idk who knows. | 18:49 |
| reisio | mojtaba: I can help you, but you can't omit information | 18:49 |
| ubuntology | nothing, mojtaba. just being friendly :) I've got no answer for your question, unfortunately | 18:49 |
| paul_ | im banned?) | 18:49 |
| reisio | chamunks: single pass of zeros, with a decent bs will not take very long | 18:50 |
| chamunks | reisio, tbh i really aint got time for that. I just go there on occassion and like to throw in a bit of help here and there. | 18:50 |
| mojtaba | reisio: ?? Do you want the real email? | 18:50 |
| turborob | exit | 18:50 |
| chamunks | reisio, decent bs? | 18:50 |
| reisio | chamunks: yeah, I wipe drives I recycle to places like that, with a single pass of zeros | 18:50 |
| ripplebit | Fuchs: brilliant, all it needed was to change permissions. thanks | 18:50 |
| reisio | as a courtesy | 18:50 |
| Fuchs | ripplebit: you're welcome :) | 18:50 |
| reisio | chamunks: man dd, bs= | 18:50 |
| reisio | chamunks: it's basically how many bytes it will try to write at once | 18:50 |
| haylo | reisio: is there something i could dl that is preferable? i usually am all bare bones console, but i need network managers ability to make a laptop share wireless with my ethernet based machines easily | 18:50 |
| chamunks | reisio, yeah I managed to pull alot of crap off of a drive I Never thought I'd see again when I did a recovery a while back. | 18:51 |
| chamunks | reisio, ah ok I still dont know much about DD its a really old very ... not noob friendly thing. | 18:51 |
| reisio | haylo: hrmm? | 18:51 |

| AndroUser | Guys, my usb keyboard is not being redetected after disconnecting it. How do I force it without reboot? Lsusb - v gets stuck listing some Standard Microsystems Corp. Device.... | 18:51 |
| reisio | chamunks: just remember to be sure the of= value is correct :p | 18:51 |
| chamunks | reisio, its one of those old tools that are wildly useful but were made for the days when most people were super huge into linux and knew how everything worked. I'm not quite there yet. | 18:51 |
| alexa | Is it safe to use TOR Browser from Ubuntu installed in Virtual Box? | 18:51 |
| reisio | nintet: with a text editor | 18:51 |
| reisio | alexa: safe, sure | 18:52 |
| reisio | alexa: also probably a waste of time | 18:52 |
| chamunks | reisio, this wouldn't be run on a machine that had any valueable data anyways so any destruction would be good destruction :P | 18:52 |
| alexa | why? | 18:52 |
| reisio | chamunks: yeah you aren't kidding, the author of GNU dd was in ##linux one day and he'd forgotten its params | 18:52 |
| mojtaba | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5790434/ | 18:52 |
| alexa | I use TOR to bypass time of possible downloads for free users on some sites. | 18:52 |
| === frogshair is now known as Guest54471 | ||
| alexa | and it works | 18:52 |
| alexa | but I've heard it could be malicious | 18:52 |
| reisio | alexa: what, tor? | 18:53 |
| alexa | so I decided to use VM as a sandbox | 18:53 |
| reisio | it's open source, if it's malicious you can see for yourself | 18:53 |
| alexa | YES, Top | 18:53 |
| reisio | waste of time | 18:53 |
| yarmouk | guys I am trying to install my video card driver, I've downloaded the package from this link http://packages.altlinux.org/en/Platform5/srpms/xorg-drv-sis671 and searched about how to install it, but the files in the instruction are different | 18:53 |
| alexa | why is it the waste of time? | 18:53 |
| haylo | chamunks: just experiment with it as non sudo user. making image files. "dd if=/dev/zero of=my_new_disk_image bs=10M count=10" | 18:53 |
| chamunks | reisio, lol yeah seems like one of those tools that are just great when you need it. | 18:54 |
| mojtaba | hello? | 18:54 |
| chamunks | haylo, its cool I'm just mainly inquiring right now Im not in the headspace to play with it just yet. | 18:54 |

| ibere_SP | hi there. I've installed Lubuntu 12.10 in my Athlon XP 1800+. I was running sudo apt-get udpate and after that sudo apt-get dist-upgrade. In the middle of some update, I lost the internet connection. System hang up. I rebooted, sudo apt-get clean and sudo dpkg-reconfigure -all. But system seems frozen, but HDD light is working for more than 1 hour... any clues? | 18:55 |

| yarmouk | can't find the ./configure file | 18:56 |
| mojtaba | reisio: Hi, What information is omited? | 18:56 |
| jrib | ibere_SP: you probably meant to do "dpkg --configure -a" which configures packages that are pending | 18:56 |
| reisio | yarmouk: what package? | 18:56 |

| ibere_SP | jrib, i'm talking to you on my laptop. it's working fine. the problem is with lubuntu 12.10 at my desktop. | 18:59 |
| haylo | normall install CD has option for booting to gnome desktop right ? | 18:59 |
| reisio | yarmouk: doesn't necessarily need to be a configure file | 18:59 |
| haylo | i dont want to dl the wrong thing :P | 18:59 |
| jrib | ibere_SP: but you said you tried dpkg --configure -a and then tried something else? What exactly did you do? | 18:59 |
| reisio | mojtaba: it's not what I want to know, it's what you have to provide for anyone to help you | 18:59 |
| reisio | haylo: out of what choices? | 18:59 |
| mojtaba | reisio: That is all the information, there is nothing more than this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5790434/ | 19:00 |
| yarmouk | reisio, so where should i start the package does not contain installation instructions in readme file | 19:00 |

I could still see a bit of the screen but since I used a second monitor, it didn't really matter. I had Ubuntu and Windows.

| A1Recon | Is there a way to check traffic over my router? | 19:15 |
| A1Recon | Wireshark?? | 19:15 |
| ofhs | The sound options recognizes it as an "input" and it apparently percieves volume in it (when i breathe into it the volume bar goes up http://i.imgur.com/W7s1uMM.png ) | 19:15 |
| ofhs | But I can't get it to work with Skype or any other voice recorder. | 19:16 |
| ofhs | Anyone able to help? | 19:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest14223, Check the date of this info, there was manufacturers tweaked UEFI that caused problems, I believe it has been remedied. | 19:16 |
| yarmouk | A1Recon, not sure but I read once that DDWRT can help in that | 19:16 |
| wilee-nilee | A manufacture* | 19:16 |
| kostkon | ofhs, have you set it as the default input device in your sound prefs? | 19:17 |
| ofhs | Yeah | 19:17 |
| ofhs | It's the only input device | 19:17 |
| Guest14223 | wilee-nilee, yeah I called samsung and they said that they haven't fixed it. The issue page for ubunu said that it has been fixed but im just worried that installing it will brick my laptop. | 19:18 |
| kostkon | ofhs, then what's the problem exactly | 19:18 |
| ofhs | kostkon: It doesn't work with Skype or anything else | 19:18 |
| ofhs | kostkon: Also, when I close the sound manager and reopen it, it doesn't seem to recognize when I talk into it anymore | 19:19 |
| kostkon | ofhs, have you test it in skype? | 19:19 |
| ofhs | Yeah, it doesn't work/ | 19:19 |

| kostkon | ofhs, hmm | 19:20 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest14223, Understandable caution, I doubt this channel will get you a definitive answer though. | 19:21 |
| kostkon | ofhs, the strange thing why is the only input device. where's the mic of your sound card | 19:22 |
| kostkon | damn | 19:22 |
| compdoc | dsan, have you tried installing the latest amd drivers? | 19:22 |
| kostkon | ofhs, pressed enter too soo. the strange thing is that it's the only input device | 19:22 |
| Guest14223 | wilee-nilee, yeah thanks for your time though. Do you know of any channel that could help? | 19:22 |
| ofhs | kostkon: I dunno, nothing else shows up, so it could just be hidden on the list? | 19:23 |
| kostkon | ofhs, hmm. you could check the output of aplay -l | 19:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest14223, I can't think of any the problem in general has a small signature in the sense of how many people have run into this. I would start a thread at the ubuntu forums for feedback. | 19:24 |
| wilee-nilee | as well anyway | 19:24 |
| Guest14223 | wilee-nilee, alright thanks! | 19:25 |
| kostkon | ofhs, you could also reset your pulseaudio and see if that will sort it out, by that i mean make your onboard mic to appear | 19:25 |
| ofhs | kostkon: This is the result of that http://pastebin.com/N1J1K5m6 | 19:25 |
| dsan | compdoc, it had radeon driver (3.5 kernel), then I installed fglrx, but the desktop is still slow. do you have any suggestion to increase graphic card's performance? | 19:25 |
| ofhs | How do I reset my pulseaudio? | 19:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest14223, Good luck, you could go virtual in the mean time just to have the OS. | 19:25 |
| kostkon | ofhs, if you want to consider that option, then you'll need to delete your ~/.pulse folder, logout and log back in | 19:25 |
| kostkon | ofhs, are you on a laptop | 19:26 |
| ofhs | kostkon: Nope | 19:27 |

| dsan | is it correct command to remove unity on 12.10 "sudo apt-get remove unity unity-2d unity-2d-panel unity-2d-spread unity-asset-pool unity-services unity-lens-files unity-lens-music unity-lens-applications gir1.2-unity-5.0 unity-common indicator-sound indicator-power indicator-appmenu libindicator7 indicator-application indicator-datetime indicator-messages libnux-2.0-0 nux-tools libunity-misc4 unity-2d-common" | 19:29 |

| dunhamds | I downloaded a plugin for google audio and video calls but the bin file, whin I click on it, does nothing. Can anyone help make sense of this for a total n00b? | 19:30 |
| reisio | dunhamds: running from a terminal might yield more information | 19:30 |
| crond | dunhamds, chmod +x the plugin, then ./blah_plugin.bin from terminal | 19:31 |
| dunhamds | reisio.. I'm not even sure what that means :/ | 19:31 |
| Slendermang | Reisio, I already have permissions to acess files/folders but I can't seem to give other usergroups permissions | 19:31 |
| Slendermang | The drive doesnt automatically mount on launch and such I dont think I can give other computers/usergroups permissions without having it do so | 19:32 |
| Slendermang | I was wondering on how the fstab should be propperly written for a 2nd drive as its kind of overwhelming for me, never used Linux prior | 19:32 |
| ofhs | kostkon: So is my best bet to try resetting my pulseaudio thing then? | 19:33 |
| reisio | Slendermang: same as first, only ending in 0 0 | 19:33 |
| Slendermang | reisio, Ok I'll give that a try thanks :) | 19:34 |

| wheatthin | rudy-993, did you have a question? | 19:56 |

| wheatthin | hmm | 20:05 |
| morning | weaththin: Unclear how to do that. (I'm not very techy.) The help mentions an option "-f, --force" but doesn't say more on how to use them (and indicates a <configfile>). | 20:05 |

| wheatthin | brian_petersen, compiz manager options will also help disable it i believe | 20:09 |
| aamer | ubottu wheatthin sorry for this one but I really suffered from talking to myself for more than 24 hours, so sorry again but I had to, anyway now I'm trying to run deluged (daemon) and I followed this tutorial http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/InitScript/Ubuntu%2011.04%2B%20%28Upstart%20Job%29 | 20:09 |

| aamer | well ubottu bots are becoming a lot more intelligent than many people. | 20:10 |
| wheatthin | aamer, cause people program them ;0 | 20:10 |
| brian_petersen | wheatthin: Yeah, I am looking through the ccsm right now, I am trying to figure out where to enable the static switcher, but I have yet to find it. I think it's hidden or disabled by default. | 20:10 |
| aamer | ubottu you guessed, I'm angry | 20:10 |
| ubottu | aamer: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 20:10 |
| syntroPi | lol | 20:11 |
| aamer | wheatthin cuz people program them when they're not mad (like I am now) | 20:11 |
| aamer | ubottu shutdown | 20:11 |
| wheatthin | aamer, can you see if deluge is in /etc/init.d | 20:11 |
| aamer | wheatthin it's not there | 20:13 |
| syntroPi | he is using upstart so its /etc/init/deluged.conf | 20:15 |
| wheatthin | aamer, that tutorial describes how to start it and put it in the startup | 20:15 |
| wheatthin | ahh my bad | 20:15 |
| aamer | wheatthin it shouldn't be there | 20:15 |
| aamer | yes wheatthin | 20:15 |

| wheatthin | aamer, ps aux | grep deluge | 20:17 |
| aamer | wheatthin just please let me understand this step, deluged with d is the daemon name so why should I type deluge? | 20:19 |
| morning | weatthin: Okay, I see a sample config file at http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/jaunty/man8/logrotate.8.html. I assume what I should do is add two entries, one for kern.log and the other for sys.log. And for options I've put "rotate 2," "daily" and "size 100k," followed by "postrotate" and (next line) " /usr/bin/killall -HUP syslogd". Does this seem right? | 20:19 |
| syntroPi | because its a substring then | 20:19 |
| syntroPi | aamer does it show anything running | 20:19 |

| Wobbo | Any tips? 'AMD Catalyst Control Center (Administrative)' won't work. I am using 'amdxdg-su -c amdcccle' true terminal, then i get a new terminal minal asking for my password. Then it doesn't matter if I put a richt password or not, that terminal wont show any AMD Catalyst... I have used the logical way, 'sudo amdcccle' but that won't save any installations or anything. | 21:07 |
| HeadcaseFargone | Hi all. Any RAID experts happen to be around? | 21:08 |
| MonkeyDust | !ask | HeadcaseFargone | 21:08 |
| ubottu | HeadcaseFargone: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 21:08 |
| wheatthin | Wobbo, how'd you install the ati drivers? | 21:09 |
| BlueEagle | HeadcaseFargone: Software/hardware or hybrid raid? | 21:10 |
| HeadcaseFargone | I'm looking to upgrade from 11.04 to 12.04 but am currently running a software RAID5 array and have read many users having issues with arrays not building properly after an upgrade. I was wondering if I simply ran 12.04 from a USB stick to test this, is there any danger to the integrity of the data on that array? | 21:10 |
| gordonjcp | HeadcaseFargone: not if you mount it read-only | 21:11 |
| MonkeyDust | HeadcaseFargone you would have to go via 12.10 | 21:11 |
| HeadcaseFargone | Why 12.10? | 21:12 |
| MonkeyDust | 11.10, even | 21:12 |
| BlueEagle | HeadcaseFargone: The raid should not need to be rebuilt. It does however depend on how you have set up the raid. You do want to generate a raid configuration file so that you do not rely on the auto configuration. | 21:12 |
| MonkeyDust | HeadcaseFargone you cannot go directly from 11.04 to 12.04, or it must be a fresh install | 21:12 |
| HeadcaseFargone | I believe it's simply using the built-in Disk Utility. It's been a while, but I remember running gparted at the command line and then doing something in the Disk Utility GUI. | 21:13 |
| BlueEagle | HeadcaseFargone: The safest thing in all cases is to refresh your backup set before altering the OS. | 21:14 |
| BlueEagle | HeadcaseFargone: If the data is irreplacable then RAID is no substitute for a good backup scheme. | 21:14 |
| HeadcaseFargone | I understand. It wouldn't be the end of the world if I lost it, but it would suck a bit. | 21:14 |
| vivi | hi | 21:14 |
| HeadcaseFargone | Your raid configuration file sounds like what I'm looking for. Looking into that now. | 21:15 |
| HeadcaseFargone | Is the configuration file generated through mdadm? | 21:16 |

| savio | Is it possible to get kernel 3.5 for ubuntu 13.04 | 21:17 |

| deanclkclk | hello folks..having an issue with ubuntu running sudo su | 21:28 |
| HeadcaseFargone | BlueEagle From what I'm reading mdadm.conf is automatically generated when you create an array, and that file does indeed exist in /etc/mdadm/ but editing it it doesn't appear to really contain any information about my array. | 21:28 |
| deanclkclk | -> /etc/sudoers: /etc/sudoers.d too many open files near line 29 | 21:28 |
| deanclkclk | no valid sudoers sources found, quitting. unable to initialize policy plugin | 21:28 |
| HeadcaseFargone | No device information or anything. Do I need to manually run the command to generate it? | 21:28 |
| zykotick9 | deanclkclk: don't do "sudo su"! use "sudo -i" if you _must_ (and you probably don't) | 21:29 |
| Flannel | deanclkclk: Have you manually edited your sudoers file (recently)? | 21:29 |
| deanclkclk | zykotick9: I am trying to do a nano .desktop and save it | 21:30 |
| deanclkclk | it seems I need to be root user to do it | 21:30 |
| deanclkclk | Flannel: no | 21:30 |
| wheatthin | dean, use sudo nano .desktop | 21:30 |
| ethereal | installing ubuntu on parallels 7, wish me luck | 21:30 |
| Flannel | deanclkclk: `sudo nano` works fine, by the way, but that's not related to your problem. | 21:30 |
| deanclkclk | I know but, when I try to do cntrl+x -> access denied | 21:31 |
| Flannel | deanclkclk: not if you use sudo. and ctrl-o is write, ctrl-x is quit. | 21:31 |
| deanclkclk | ahh I see | 21:31 |
| wheatthin | Flannel, it'll also work with cntrl+x, it'll ask to rewrite the file | 21:31 |
| Wobbo | is the easy way, just enter one of the two options. | 21:32 |
| Flannel | wheatthin: yes, but that's quitting, not saving. | 21:32 |
| savio | Is it possible to get kernel 3.5 for ubuntu 13.04 | 21:32 |
| deanclkclk | Flannel: when I run sudo nano I get the same error | 21:32 |
| wheatthin | Flannel, it's closing, not quiting, and upon quitting it asks to re-write the file, and asks for the file name if there had been changes made | 21:32 |
| Prock81 | where do i begin to get my 3D drivers, what command to tell what i need | 21:32 |
| deanclkclk | about too many oepn file line 29 | 21:32 |
| wheatthin | deanclkclk, can you paste line 29? | 21:33 |
| Flannel | deanclkclk: right, that's what you should do instead of sudo su (once resolved), but your issue is a separate problem. | 21:33 |
| deanclkclk | I will pastie the /ec/sudoers.d | 21:34 |

| savio | wilee-nilee: I know they are not supported but I think this is only my option | 21:40 |
| deanclkclk | @ wheatthin | 21:40 |
| wheatthin | deanclkclk, there is no default password for root.. it's randomly generated | 21:40 |
| savio | wilee-nilee: changing kernel will break any application installed ,I don't think so | 21:41 |
| deanclkclk | yeah because, it's asking me for a password | 21:41 |
| wheatthin | deanclkclk, in the case, you'll have to boot the livedvd | 21:41 |
| Prock81 | my laptop has intel and ninvidia hardware | 21:41 |
| wilee-nilee | savio, Cool, just wanted to make sure knew why there may had been little response. ;) | 21:41 |
| wilee-nilee | possibly why anyway | 21:41 |
| deanclkclk | I don't even have a live cd | 21:41 |
| Prock81 | deanclkclk "sudo su" put ur current pass , then "passwd root" to change it | 21:42 |

| Prock81 | and that fixed it | 21:51 |
| Prock81 | but i dont remember what | 21:51 |
| wheatthin | Prock81, if it was previously installed from the site you'll have to uninstall it first | 21:51 |

| wheatthin | Magicarp, you have to redownload them. | 22:02 |
| wheatthin | as the install directory requires them to be empty.. I tried just recently | 22:02 |
| savio | Anyone? | 22:03 |
| daftykins | Magicarp: most of the games will probably be 32-bit. just try them! :) | 22:04 |
| Magicarp | In that case I may just stick to 32bits. There's no massive performance gain stepping up to 64 right? | 22:04 |
| wheatthin | daftykins, in order for them to show up in steamapps, they must be reinstalled | 22:04 |

| ripoz | area51pilot: was it a new install or upgrade? On an upgrade, one of the cifs (samba) packages does NOT get upadted due to bug, and needs to be manualyl loaded | 22:46 |
| kyconquers | slapd[31020]: do_syncrep2: rid=000 got search entry without Sync State control (dc=example,dc=com) | 22:46 |
| holstein | kyconquers: what application is this? what is a "consumer" ? | 22:46 |
| area51pilot | 13.04 was a new install a few months ago | 22:47 |
| kyconquers | holstein, it is ldap. a consumer is a slave that replicates the ldap database master. | 22:47 |
| kyconquers | so that the database can scale. | 22:47 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: you are setup to join both a domain (e.g at office) and a workgroup (e.g. at home)? | 22:48 |
| holstein | kyconquers: that is very specific.. and i wouldnt expect to get support here for the issue you have.. have you tried a server channel? | 22:48 |
| area51pilot | i access domain shares at work | 22:48 |
| holstein | kyconquers: i would first address the easy part.. update what is out of date | 22:48 |
| kyconquers | holstein, yes, no response. | 22:48 |
| area51pilot | used to be able to see Win 7 shares on home network but not anymore | 22:48 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: At home, can you ping your server? | 22:48 |
| kyconquers | holstein, thank you anyways. :) | 22:49 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: The home server, i mean! | 22:49 |
| area51pilot | home network has no server ... its just a workgroup | 22:49 |
| area51pilot | and i can ping all machines on network | 22:49 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: Yes, can you ping the servers on it (i.e. the other machines) | 22:49 |
| area51pilot | i can | 22:49 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: by the name you're using in mount? or just by ip? | 22:49 |
| daftykins | area51pilot: use smbclient in a terminal to test confirm you can auth to a Windows box on your LAN and view contents of a share | 22:50 |
| area51pilot | i have a few machines I backup files to from other clients | 22:50 |
| area51pilot | ripoz ping by ip | 22:50 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: Usually when this happens, it is name resolution | 22:50 |
| HeadcaseFargone | Can anyone tell me why my mdadm.conf file would contain no references to the component drives in a RAID5 array? | 22:50 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: So can you try by name? Using the same name as you're trying for cifs? | 22:51 |
| area51pilot | whats the ping syntax using the name ... ex. ping Fileserver | 22:52 |
| Guest22721 | I've installed ubuntu server on a virtual box on an ubuntu desktop host. I can ping from guest to host, but not from host to guest.. is there anything about ubuntu or virtual box? | 22:52 |
| === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 | ||
| ripoz | area51pilot: exactly that. if myserver is 192.168.1.1 then you can eitehr "ping 192.168.1.1" which we know works, or just "ping myserver" | 22:52 |
| area51pilot | thats what i thought but i get the following reply "update encrypted" | 22:53 |
| area51pilot | never seen that b4 | 22:53 |
| daftykins | you get that from a ping attempt? O_O | 22:53 |
| area51pilot | yes | 22:53 |
| area51pilot | weird | 22:53 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: it doenst respond? | 22:54 |
| area51pilot | Ignoring unknown parameter 'update encrypted" to be exact | 22:54 |
| Guest22721 | haha, just checking network connectivity | 22:54 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: I assume when you mount SMB, you are using the machine name, right? | 22:54 |
| area51pilot | no typical reply or no reply type response | 22:54 |
| area51pilot | machine name or ip ... neither works | 22:55 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: So the issue is name resolution: It can' convert name to IP. Try to use the IP instead of the name when connecting to share | 22:55 |
| daftykins | area51pilot: sounds more like your interface isn't configured | 22:55 |
| === soc is now known as SplinterOfChaos | ||

| ripoz | If you cant ping by IP, something is broke for sure | 22:55 |
| ActionParsnip | check routing | 22:56 |
| ripoz | ok i'll stop here, it's not a samba issue, it's a linux network issue. i can fix the first, not the second. | 22:56 |
| area51pilot | i had a previous machine ip in the recent list ... it brings up the logon crredential box when i try to connect but now it just kicks back to the login ... even though credentials are correct | 22:57 |
| area51pilot | i tried that and no luck as well | 22:57 |
| area51pilot | should i completely remove samba and associated packages | 22:58 |
| area51pilot | and try from scratch | 22:58 |
| holstein | area51pilot: how did gigolo work? | 22:58 |
| ActionParsnip | area51pilot: run: sudo smbpasswd -a $USER | 22:58 |

| anonnumberanon | holstein, this was after doing apt-get upodate | 22:59 |
| ActionParsnip | area51pilot: you can the authorise on the server side as your username using the password you set | 22:59 |
| area51pilot | holstein ... rejects the correct password | 22:59 |
| area51pilot | on the host machine Action??? yes I can | 23:00 |
| area51pilot | as well as from Windows clients | 23:00 |
| area51pilot | daftykins ... from what i can see yes | 23:01 |
| ghking | hello，everyone。I want to know what is usbhdd,is it a booting program just like grub. | 23:01 |
| resizt0r | I have been trying to get my external hdd shared on my windows network (using xubuntu 13.04) and it almost works. But I have to type the IP address to my linux machine in the address bar of the windows explorer in order to access it.. | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | area51pilot: on the server side, so you can set the credentials on the sever side | 23:01 |
| daftykins | area51pilot: can you ping *any* box on the LAN? | 23:01 |
| resizt0r | if i select the computer name which shows up in the list in the homegroup and select the share (which shows up) it says i dont have permission | 23:01 |
| ActionParsnip | area51pilot: you can tell your OSes to store the password you set | 23:02 |
| area51pilot | daftykinis ... by IP ... yes | 23:02 |
| area51pilot | but not by host name | 23:02 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: You told me you cuoldn't ping by ip | 23:02 |
| holstein | area51pilot: the credentials could be bad | 23:02 |
| daftykins | area51pilot: that's not surprising. tends to act like that until SAMBA is running and sharing some windows chatter network conversation | 23:02 |
| area51pilot | Action ... my problem is seeing Windows shares from 13.04 | 23:02 |
| daftykins | and even then i'm not sure | 23:02 |
| area51pilot | not the other way around | 23:02 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: sounds like a samba configuration thing | 23:02 |
| area51pilot | i can ping by ip no problem | 23:03 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: If that informaton was incorrect, and you can ping by ip, you proabbly need to just enable NTLM encryption on cifs | 23:03 |
| resizt0r | well im a linux newb and i've changed and re-changed the settings about fifty times this week | 23:03 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: on the Windows clients, why not just map a drive and forget about it? no more manual browsing... | 23:03 |
| area51pilot | can ping the windows 7 machine by host name | 23:03 |
| resizt0r | so i wouldnt be surprized | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | area51pilot: does your windows user have a password? | 23:03 |
| area51pilot | Action | 23:03 |
| area51pilot | yes | 23:03 |
| area51pilot | ripoz ok ill look that up | 23:03 |
| ActionParsnip | area51pilot: afyer typing 'action' press TAB. | 23:04 |

| ActionParsnip | area51pilot: it autocompletes my nick and will highlight my nick like I am to you | 23:04 |
| resizt0r | because every time i reboot the router the mapped drive will be retarded | 23:05 |
| area51pilot | ActionParsnip, ok thx :) | 23:05 |
| resizt0r | because every time the router is reset the IP address changes | 23:05 |

| resizt0r | these days everyone needs everything in their homes networked seemlessly | 23:08 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: you should be running a static IP on your system so as to prevent mapped drives being an issue. | 23:08 |
| resizt0r | it never was an issue on windows | 23:08 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: indeed, networking knowledge is becoming very useful | 23:08 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: i bet your router has a feature for static allocation via DHCP | 23:09 |
| resizt0r | yes | 23:09 |
| resizt0r | it is a cisco | 23:09 |
| resizt0r | it has a wide variety of options | 23:09 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: smb.cfg? i assume you mean smb.conf.. that's on a samba server. your workgroup is linux? | 23:09 |

| daftykins | resizt0r: the feature of the router which issues IPs when your computers start up | 23:11 |

| ripoz | area51pilot: and which way are you connecting? | 23:15 |
| area51pilot | from nautilus ... connect to server ( which is the ip of the windows client im trying to access) | 23:16 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: are you asking us how connect linux client to windows share, or windows client to linuxhosted windows share | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | resizt0r: try mediatomb etc. I only use sftp for security. depends what your wii can connect to | 23:16 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: the wii needs to use a share from your ubuntu desktop? also please press enter less, makes things harder to follow | 23:16 |
| resizt0r | the media player is fine | 23:16 |
| resizt0r | it can use ftp | 23:16 |
| ActionParsnip | resizt0r: yeah figures as much | 23:16 |
| area51pilot | linux client to a windows share | 23:17 |
| resizt0r | i guess i could just hook the network share drive to the router directly | 23:17 |
| area51pilot | i can get the authentication box but when i eneter the credentials it just comes back up with the credential box again | 23:17 |

| resizt0r | will my ip stay the same even if i turn the router off and back on? | 23:18 |
| ActionParsnip | resizt0r: depends on the router | 23:19 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: no devices would be able to connect, you can't disable it | 23:19 |
| daftykins | you won't have an IP at all | 23:19 |
| daftykins | because the router won't give one out | 23:19 |
| ripoz | area51pilot: i am almocst certain that means you need to a) sync the username and password, and b) enable NTLM encryption. look at lanman auth or ntlm auth in your config | 23:19 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: if you can either screenshot the DHCP page of your router's web admin - if it has one - or find some images of its' pages online for me, i can help | 23:19 |

| resizt0r | so i just select each device i want to keep the same ip right | 23:38 |

| wilee-nilee | d4rkn30, You can change the repo to the fastest in software sources, may just be that link. Speed is always at the whim of where you are getting it basically. | 23:41 |
| resizt0r | so now my printer wont keep getting new ip's either, so i dont have to keep setting it up every time | 23:41 |
| mujahadean | mujahadeanpopl: I saw this but, why do I need a dev package | 23:41 |
| mujahadean | poplbecause ubuntu is a piece of shit | 23:41 |
| mujahadean | mujahadeanI am already running ->ruby 1.9.3p194(2012-04-20) | 23:41 |
| mujahadean | poplubuntu split the ruby stuff into different packages | 23:41 |
| mujahadean | mujahadeanu sure it's ubuntu and not ruby? | 23:41 |
| FloodBot1 | mujahadean: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 23:41 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: to be honest i would recommend you statically configure all network devices anyway. it's how anyone who is anyone with networking does it | 23:41 |

| wilee-nilee | d4rkn30, I can only suggest running the tool in software sources for finding a faster download, I'm in the pacific NW, there is a ubuntu repo at my college, a Norwegian sever is much faster. | 23:43 |
| mujahadean | why does ubuntu split ruby between dev and actual packages? | 23:43 |
| mujahadean | it does make any sense | 23:43 |
| d4rkn30 | wilee-nilee, will do thanks mate | 23:43 |
| wilee-nilee | close does not mean faster basically, no problem d4rkn30 | 23:43 |
| daftykins | resizt0r: nah, i tend to keep mobile devices DHCP and static devices static :D so printers, desktop PCs, things that won't ever leave that LAN | 23:44 |
| d4rkn30 | wilee-nilee, also on another note does Xubuntu 13.04 support the piratepack ? | 23:44 |
| bigroomsmallhous | what are good irc settings to prevent ddos? running gnome xchat? | 23:44 |

| bigroomsmallhous | what are good irc settings to prevent ddos? running gnome xchat | 23:47 |

| d4rkn30 | wilee-nilee, yeah it it tpb's pack and thanks | 23:48 |
| daftykins | d4rkn30: i can't think why a given ISP or router would somehow affect downloading packages in Ubuntu vs. HTTP - i take it wget'ing from the same source as apt-get does affects the speed too? | 23:48 |
| daftykins | shankstaBytes: possibly -f for forcing, i'd read the man page. or just edit your config to remove the old host | 23:49 |
| wilee-nilee | daftykins, Some of those ubuntu repos are slower than others, could be a problem in between who knows. | 23:49 |
| Guest65569 | is there any way to show a basic Menu List in 13.04? | 23:49 |
| d4rkn30 | daftykins, You have no idea what Xplornet does to its internet, I.E: Throtles connection Torrenting is useless etc. and no wget downloads at max. | 23:50 |
| daftykins | Guest65569: menu list for... what? | 23:50 |
| Guest65569 | daftykins, apps programs games etc | 23:50 |
| daftykins | d4rkn30: i understand peer to peer protocol throttling, but not package downloading | 23:50 |
| ripoz | d4rkn30: if there's nothing in there that requires unity, it should work: xubuntu and ubuntu have a common core | 23:50 |
| === Guest65569 is now known as Nitro_ | ||
| Nitro_ | daftykins, kind of like the start menu in windows | 23:51 |
| daftykins | Nitro_: ah, no idea then sorry :( | 23:51 |
| d4rkn30 | daftykins, i know but it does it from any terminal in any distro | 23:51 |
| daftykins | Nitro_: sounds more like you want to be running Mint XD | 23:51 |
| Nitro_ | daftykins, well its in Lubuntu.. thought i could add it somehow | 23:52 |
| daftykins | d4rkn30: perhaps the ISP can't distinguish between packages and illegal activity | 23:52 |
| ripoz | Nitro_: Mint can do it: but you can just hit the win key and type in the program name in 13.04, and it will find and launch it | 23:52 |
| wilee-nilee | those mint desktops are in the ubuntu repos | 23:52 |
| Nitro_ | daftykins, ripoz yea the point is I just want to be able to see ALL my programs | 23:52 |
| d4rkn30 | Nitro_, just click on list all programs ? | 23:53 |
| ripoz | Nitro_: You can do that still in the hud, but they just ldisplay different | 23:53 |
| Nitro_ | d4rkn30, where is list all programs? | 23:53 |
| ripoz | Nitro_: click filter results at the right of the search box | 23:53 |
| ripoz | Nitro_: Sorry, i forgot, click the 'a' icon at the bottom first | 23:54 |
| daftykins | d4rkn30: if you proxy'd via a friend on a different ISP and tested package download speeds then, that'd be interesting | 23:54 |
| Nitro_ | ripoz, SWEET thank you, also Secret Maryo wont run, any ideas? | 23:56 |
| ripoz | d4rkn30: I gave up messing with WAN support years ago, there are so many companies, in so many countries, that could affect a connection, it's not really hard unless you work for at least one of them and therefore have access to a direct line to the people you need to yell at | 23:56 |
| ripoz | *not really possible | 23:56 |
| d4rkn30 | well that sucks >.< Update fails | 23:57 |
| HeadcaseFargone | New question: If I allow 11.10 to upgrade to 12.04 using Update Manager, will any of my settings be overwritten? For instance I have Unity turned off, etc. Will I lose those settings when I upgrade? | 23:57 |
| daftykins | i didn't think 11.10 had Unity. | 23:57 |
| ripoz | d4rkn30: Remeber when google went dark worldwide because an ISP in Pakistan made a configuration error ... | 23:58 |
| HeadcaseFargone | It had a horrible interface when I installed it, I remember that much. I believe it was Unity. | 23:58 |
| ripoz | daftykins: It did, but it didnt work properly in those days | 23:58 |
| d4rkn30 | ripoz, Yea that was awful | 23:58 |
| jrib | HeadcaseFargone: if by "turned off" you mean not the default session, sure | 23:58 |
| daftykins | ripoz: it works properly now? | 23:58 |
| HeadcaseFargone | Well, when I boot the desktop looks like it did under 10.04 with my current settings | 23:58 |
| daftykins | :D | 23:58 |
| ripoz | i tink unity was optional in 11.04 and compulsory in 11.10 but didn work properly. 12.04 it worked. 13.04 it finally got task switching back and it's ok now | 23:59 |
| ripoz | daftykins: Yes unity works now | 23:59 |
| daftykins | ripoz: it was a joke but ok | 23:59 |
| HeadcaseFargone | It was very slow on this low power box as well | 23:59 |
| ripoz | daftykins: rememeber "works" is a subjective term :-) | 23:59 |
| d4rkn30 | i never really liked unity myself | 23:59 |
