[00:00] Back. [00:00] Damn ghosts. [00:00] CorruptedHelix, graphics are back to normal? [00:00] Okay, that worked, my eyes are no longer bleeding [00:00] Which means, yes [00:01] nice [00:01] fglrx was the cause of GNOME 3 defaulting to GNOME 2, as well. [00:01] yeah, fglrx is good for gaming, but 2d acceleration is horrid compared to the open source drivers (what you're using now) [00:01] Honestly? Ubuntu is a great operating system, and I love the feel of it, but it's a pain in the ass at times like these. [00:02] CorruptedHelix_, http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM5NjE you mind find that interesting to read [00:02] My computer doesn't have proper support and Ubuntu doesn't have support for my USB headset. You can also say Plantronics doesn't support Ubuntu. === CorruptedHelix_ is now known as CorruptedHelix [00:02] http://i.imgur.com/Id5rq8P.png look at this screenshot, i have no idea where the load is comming from [00:02] CorruptedHelix, Bro this is support not therapy. [00:03] Mind sending me that link again? [00:04] litepool: install mytop ? [00:04] @ CorruptedHelix http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=news_item&px=MTM5NjE [00:04] Okay, thanks. [00:04] you should also join #ubuntu-offtopic [00:04] cuz what I linked is kind of off topic.... [00:05] Howo do I avoid error "W: GPG error: http://ppa.launchpad.net precise Release: The following signatures couldn't be verified because the public key is not available: NO_PUBKEY D46F45428842CE5E" when I follow the instructions at https://launchpad.net/~bitcoin/+archive/bitcoin [00:05] litepool: are you aware that a load of 2 on a server with 8 cores is just fine? [00:05] Okay, but is the Radeon HD Mobile 4200 supported? [00:05] I mentioned it to someone and was laughed at because of how outdated it even is. :p === Swish[\] is now known as Swish [00:05] pici i don't think it is, its using too much [00:06] dupe i installed mytip [00:06] dupe i installed mytop [00:06] litepool: you basically take 2 and divide by 8 - so really, your system isn't being stressed (at all) [00:07] reisio: hey -- just got a little hacked together solution if you're interrested [00:07] reisio: using lightdm [00:07] ok i see, however mysql seems to be stressed out i think [00:07] nogal: nope :) [00:08] litepool: 2 isn't a problem. if you look at "vmstat" you will see why it's sitting at 2, if stuff sitting in iowait for instance, that's bad. [00:08] litepool: search for mysqltuner. it's a script that will look at your mysql load and make some suggestions on how to tune it. default mysql config is very poor nowadays [00:09] CorruptedHelix, R600 = Radeon HD 2900 [00:09] so yes [00:09] Okay, how exactly will this work out for me, as in, obtaining it once it's ultimately ready? In an Ubuntu update? I'm a bit of a noob here. [00:11] CorruptedHelix: obtaining what? [00:11] CorruptedHelix, you don't have to worry about it now. you're on 3.04, so you'd either upgrade to 3.10 (which will be kernel 3.11 I think) and the update will simply be provided for you [00:11] Whichever term... The new kernel. [00:11] CorruptedHelix, or you can update your kernel [00:11] DuPe, http://i.imgur.com/OJ5Gj0h.png do you see anything criticle#? [00:11] and keep 3.04 [00:11] Might as well. [00:12] if you just want to update your kernel and not your distro http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/ [00:12] I don't know how to do any of this, honestly. [00:12] CorruptedHelix, google [00:12] Ubuntuhhhhhh (H) [00:13] CorruptedHelix, just google how to install kernel from ppa .deb files or something lol it's easier than compiling it yourself [00:14] litepool: optimize table but that's actually a lot cleaner than i expcted. there's also mysqltunngprimer script that may give you better advice. [00:14] .. or use the software centre - click, click & finished!!! [00:14] litepool: yes, you need to set the ip forwarding flag [00:14] mnemon works now [00:15] http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-3-9-kernel-on-ubuntu-13-04-12-10-12-04-and-linux-mint-15-14-13/ I'll take it this will work, as long as I replace the steps for the 64bit version with the files from the link you gave to me? [00:15] litepool: good good, no rule modifications just the sysctl enabled? [00:15] yeah mnemon [00:15] kk [00:18] Ari-Yang: http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-3-9-kernel-on-ubuntu-13-04-12-10-12-04-and-linux-mint-15-14-13/ I'll take it this will work, as long as I replace the steps for the 64bit version with the files from the link you gave me? [00:19] /msg NickServ hi === bazhang_ is now known as bazhang [00:24] i tried to run tor + privoxy + squid 3 with this instructions: http://evilzone.org/anonymity/setup-your-own-proxy-with-squidprivoxytor-on-debian-like-distros-%28tutorial%29/ but after step 10, when i want to start squid3 "with squid3 -z" i get this error: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5805967/ can someone help me? i changed my squidconf now to: pastebin.com/D1Jx4SHM and get this error now: http://pastebin.com/JZdfKNTf [00:34] [00:34] hi all. how tro reset root password ? passwd command not found. [00:35] pupit: really? locate passwd [00:36] ? [00:36] hello [00:36] reisio, there is no passwd command [00:36] i need your help [00:36] /usr/bin/passwd [00:36] can anyone help? [00:36] http://pastebin.com/JZdfKNTf <-- does someone know what this means? [00:36] jgmdev: nope [00:36] pupit: that's unlikely [00:37] pupit: 'locate passwd' is a command, btw [00:37] Amr_: no, but many can [00:37] in recovery mode, trying to reset it [00:37] Amr_: just ask what you need help with [00:37] who can? [00:37] Hey guys, general linux question. I'm on a differenct version of linux. and 1 have 2 hdds, one for /home, and one for everything else. So if I install another distro, home will be uneffected correct? [00:37] Amr_: if someone can help, they'll respond [00:37] dice-man____, ##linux [00:37] as long as I dont format or do anthing dumb with my /home hdd right? [00:37] OiCory, ^ [00:38] sorry dice-man____ [00:38] reisio, why would i use 'locate' when im in recovery mode with user root? [00:38] ok sure when i try logining in with my account to the store it says the authentication failure, why is that? [00:39] pupit: because you want to _locate_ something [00:39] OiCory: my guess is that it won't, but you might have extra unnecessary files or missing files (that will probably be created upon first use) [00:39] facepalm [00:39] Amr_: store? [00:39] the place that you can download apps from [00:39] pudim, maybe you have to mount some partition [00:40] pupit * [00:40] jgmdev: it is mounted [00:40] qt applications are in my local language even though i set english as the system language. how can i fix this? everything else looks good, only apps like clementine and smplayer act this way. [00:41] ls /usr/bin/pass* [00:41] i mean software center [00:42] pupit, if it is not on that location then maybe you accidentaly deleted [00:42] and I'm not sure apt-get can solve that [00:42] maybe some apt-get install base-something [00:43] anyway you dont need to change the root password [00:43] a sudo su would do [00:43] when i try logining in with my account to the software center it says the authentication failure, why is that? [00:44] jgmdev: nope, there is no such command [00:44] anyway Im off [00:44] thanks for help jgmdev [00:45] Question - am I under the correct understanding that if I have a GPT table and install using guided partitioning, Ubuntu will auto install the proper efi partitions and whatnot? I'm finding on this laptop (Lenovo X130e) that I cannot install using EFI. The only way it'll succeed is if I disable UEFI and then install... I just thought that with UEFI enabled, Ubuntu would work, but I just go into a boot loop when installed with UEFI enabled/guided [00:45] partitioning. Eh? [00:45] roasted: you probably could've found out by now [00:46] yeah, two hours would've sufficed [00:46] Guys I have a problem [00:46] I have a wireless mouse, and It was not working on ubuntu [00:46] when i try logining in with my account to the software center it says the authentication failure, why is that? [00:46] hello help please [00:47] I wrote lsusb on terminal, then un-plugged and plugged again, and wrote again.. there was a new option as "Xenta" [00:47] mrtAkdeniz: and? [00:47] reisio: doesn't seem to be any specific documentation on this particular unit [00:47] reisio, then my mouse laser started to light, and my mouse started to work [00:47] roasted: found out by just trying it, I mean [00:47] reisio: my methods that failed on this unit have been 100% identical to many others that worked fine [00:47] mrtAkdeniz: and? [00:47] reisio, I used my mouse for 1 hour [00:47] reisio: I've doen about 12 installs today with different options [00:48] roasted: :/ [00:48] reisio, Then I rebooted my computer, and it is not working again, I did what i did before [00:48] But it is not working still.. [00:48] Amr_: can you log in through a web browser (or is that what you're doing)? [00:48] mrtAkdeniz: maybe your usb port, cable, mouse, or batteries are bad [00:48] reisio: UEFI only, fail. UEFI + Legacy (UEFI first), fail. Legacy only, success. That's the only way it works. BUT, Ubuntu supports UEFI, no? So, how this no work on this particular unit yet two dozen others I tested were fine [00:48] ? [00:48] * reisio shrugs [00:48] reisio, It is working perfectly on Windows [00:48] reisio, and batteries changed 2 days ago- Duracell [00:49] batteries changed a minute ago I'd trust, new from a package, maybe [00:50] roasted: afraid I don't use either Ubuntu or UEFI [00:50] i can login on a web browser. no am asking about the software center when ever i try logging in with my account it doesnt work not even the ubuntu one it says the authentication failure [00:51] reisio, My mouse is everest, but in lsusb on the session before that, it said Xenta [00:51] I'm using rhythmbox but I've got the global appmenu at the top switched off. It works for all of my other apps I use, but not rhythmbox. Any ideas how I can get the menu? I would have expected to either have it at the top of the screen or in the window, but I'm not getting one at all [00:51] reisio: I'm just saying, it's peculiar that my methods with this system yields different results vs countless others. Then again, I've had nothing but a trainwreck of problems with Lenovo in general before you even introduce Linux to the mix. The good days of Lenovo are over I'm sensing, but that's a conversation for OT. [00:52] the good days of lenovo? Were IBM's :p [00:52] what's wrong with 'legacy' mode? [00:53] roasted, Best uefi support is on the ubuntu forums here is a link that might help, start a thread there. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [00:53] Guys is there someone who can help me? [00:54] mrtAkdeniz: you're dual booting? [00:54] Amr_: you might have to create a new account; let me look around [00:56] Hi, how can i redirect the output of a command to a file and add tab in the beginning of every line of that file? [00:56] ls -1 | sed 's/^/\t/' [00:57] for tabbing ls output for instance [00:58] wheaties466: ok thnx [00:58] Amr_: not sure on this [00:59] no problem [00:59] reisio, yes [00:59] withnale: ok thnx [00:59] reisio, Windows 7 and Ubuntu 13.04 Gnome [01:00] reisio: nothing is wrong with legacy mode at all. It's more of a question of WHY this particular unit isn't working whereas others are. That;s all. :) [01:00] mrtAkdeniz: so if you reboot right now without touching the mouse, it will work in Windows? [01:00] wilee-nilee: appreciate it. :) [01:01] reisio, yes [01:01] am back sorry dc [01:01] did u know how to help me [01:01] reisio, But sometimes I have to touch, because it has a battery save mod and If I don't touch for 7 seconds, it is closing itself [01:01] So I'm thinking I need some new hardware to run Ubuntu on. I don't want to blow a lot of money. I'm thinking about two things: a box I can set up at home and use for NAS, media, and bitcoin mining, and a tablet I can attach a keyboard to. Suggestions?

[01:05] lol. the best computers are made by computer users? not on average. The best ones are made by engineers, and broken by users. [01:05] mrtAkdeniz: yeah, embrace wires [01:05] Seven_Six_Two: might mean 'assembled by' [01:05] amr_: I was able to login online to the Ubuntu Single Sign-On, but not through the Ubuntu Software Center [01:06] amr_: not sure if it was because I didn't buy anything or something else [01:06] reisio, you mean? [01:06] reisio, oh. that's a difference worth noting. [01:06] is there small app in ubuntu for write flowchart?

[01:07] also plenty of markup based flowcharting to be done, no doubt [01:08] amr_: You can still download free programs through Ubuntu Software Center [01:08] amr_: You don't need an account for that [01:08] Seven_Six_Two, thx, i will trying review it. [01:08] amr_: but for recommendations and buying programs, you do need an account.

[01:12] Seven_Six_Two: too bad they don't still put them on laptops [01:12] mrtAkdeniz: it's pretty hard to say, there are so many more variables with wireless [01:13] I used Mint [01:13] They said it too, get a wired mouse... [01:13] And now using Ubuntu [01:13] They are saying it again, Is there someone who knows this OS well? [01:14] It is the special powersaving mode that is bugging, not a lot of chance to stop this. [01:14] even if it's a bug, and even if there's not a lot of chance to fix or avoid it [01:14] you should still get a wired mouse :p [01:15] Do you know someone who good at hardware on ubuntu? I want to talk with him [01:15] I don't want stop using Ubuntu for a mouse. [01:15] mrtAkdeniz: I think you're going to have trouble convincing people that this isn't a hardware problem [01:16] mrtAkdeniz, Fastest way to get develpment responce is to file a bug report [01:16] reisio, Is that a system problem? [01:16] and some user to confirm this === Mark_ is now known as x6d61726b [01:17] OerHeks, I did it 4 times... I opened 2 topics on forums... [01:17] Hello everyone.

[01:22] OerHeks: Thanks, I didn't consider that there might be an update. Is there anyway I can update Python without upgrading to 12.04? [01:22] reisio, Is there a problem to fix it? [01:22] reisio, my usb storage device is not working on computer, too. [01:23] mrtAkdeniz: how is it not working?

[01:30] I think not [01:30] I'm using it at work, though [01:30] as to why they use vbulletin and not something open source, though, is a real mystery [01:30] All written in Python actually. [01:30] although not that great of a mystery, Canonical being a for-profit company, after all [01:31] excelsiora: that sounds better [01:31] I'm still not clear why the program would run the first time, but then not upon closing and reopening. I can't really interpret the terminal output. [01:31] You bet it is. [01:32] We have a lot of linux servers, but I think they're all redhat.

What's up with that? [01:35] oh yeah, 13.04, 64 bit. [01:36] although the keyboard lights worked on install, go figure [01:37] When I installed 11.10, the keyboard lights didn't work, but the screen dimmer did.

[02:22] dr_willis: i needed it for active command line commands, like running a specific program with a specific argument, and it doesn't need run in a script [02:22] but thanks to you all :) [02:22] again [02:23] any reason why the Bluetooth applet refuses to show up in startup applications after running the sed oneliner, (all the other startups are there just not the bluetooth) [02:23] traceroute 216.81.59.173 <- haha [02:23] anyone using a php 5.5 ppa? [02:24] <_______________-> KriShaNsin, I'm sorry, I don't know what the sed oneliner is, but does it include a log?\ [02:24] KriShaNsin, Your computer have bluetooth on board or do you have to use a usb antennae? [02:25] wilee-nilee: on board [02:25] KriShaNsin, Hmm, I will check the web and see if I see. anything [02:25] i have a lot of trouble compiling programs from source in the terminal. [02:26] wilee-nilee: it worked before but for some reason on this install things are acting funny, also when i installed from the live usb, i saw a little box in the left upper corner of my screen flash for a second and then the install continued. [02:26] Ha! Joined this room using my phone :-P [02:26] !compile | guest11111 have a read [02:26] guest11111 have a read: Compiling software from source? Read the tips at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CompilingSoftware (But remember to search for pre-built !packages first). Also read !checkinstall [02:26] nightdemon666: yes there are irc clients for smart phones [02:26] KriShaNsin, So it is not working I assume. [02:26] thanks ubottu [02:27] wilee-nilee: bluetooth is working fine, in fact it wont stop is the problem [02:27] i dont use it and want it gone from panel and startup, in fact i would purge bluetooth capability if i could and knew how . is it safe? can i do it? [02:28] wilee-nilee: i use open ssh to communicate with my iDevices.. but i am a babe in the woods so to speak anyway. [02:28] KriShaNsin, This is a kill, I have not really used bluetooth much. http://askubuntu.com/questions/67758/how-can-i-deactivate-bluetooth-on-system-startup [02:28] #progdepre [02:29] He he, just tickled by it :-) i just wanted to make sure i had access to this room from and android app. I like to drop by and help people from time to time. [02:29] wilee-nilee: i looked all over and never saw this forum page . thanks let me try this . [02:29] Does not appear to remove the icon though. [02:29] oh really? damn that icon on the panel is tdiving me nuts lol [02:30] KriShaNsin, You can remove bluetooth from synaptic I believe it is not dependency bound I believe. [02:30] oh ok so use the packet manager synaptic? let me try that a i have the packet manager installed already [02:31] hey guys, n00b here, I am always on the computer and do not have a tv near me so I wanted to stay updated on news, is there any good lite news apps that show system messages and hang out in the Panel? I am on 13.04, thank you for any help [02:31] any of the pa [02:31] ackahe magn [02:31] KriShaNsin, I use the terminal or synaptic generally, synaptic has a hostory that is of good use if you need to go back and see what happened. [02:31] Hi, does anyone know if i can delete my old ubuntu installation and install new one direct from livestick? [02:31] grr.. silly keybord [02:31] history* [02:32] <_______________-> BruceSato, yes. [02:32] BruceSato, Sure. [02:32] BruceSato: format the old [02:32] wilee-nilee: let me try that. the cool thing about me is that i can do a clean install any time so its cool to try anything really. [02:33] <_______________-> "package manager" [02:33] KriShaNsin, I generally clone my installs, and save package install lists and the repos for such occasions. [02:33] the installer asks if you want to replace the old install i think BruceSato [02:33] BruceSato, the best thing is to have the /home directory mounted on a diferent partition from the / root one so reinstalling the OS does not messes your personal files and preferences. [02:33] and any keys for 3rd party repos. [02:33] wilee-nilee: out of my skillset for now but will learn that then for future conveinence etc.. [02:33] i want to begin completely anew, jgmdev [02:34] no essential data on linux, im trying it to replace windows completely [02:34] Can you get ubuntu without unity? [02:34] !notunity | Th0masR0ss [02:34] Th0masR0ss: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [02:34] BruceSato, then it is safe to just re-install [02:35] Th0masR0ss: that would be lubuntu ir xubuntu or kubuntu... [02:35] dr_willis: yes ok. [02:35] or other variations [02:36] Is there anybody here? I just joined. [02:36] Th0masR0ss, I would recommend you xubuntu (xfce) it resembles gnome2 a lot but it is even better (more customizable) [02:37] !compile | guest11111 yes read the links [02:37] guest11111 yes read the links: Compiling software from source?

[02:39] Hi guys, would really appreciate some help. Trying to run a custom bash script which is using python 2.7 libraries. I am getting the following error: "expat/xmlparse.c:75:2: error: #error memmove does not exist on this platform, nor is a substitute available". Googled around but cannot really find a fix. Anyone have a clue what this could be? FYI: I have python-dev and gcc installed, current python version is [02:39] 2.7.4 [02:41] irmbrady: if you don't get an answer here, you might try #python or #bash [02:42] hey does anyone know any good news apps that just chill in the panel and auto update so I can stay current? [02:42] wilee-nilee: well that worked. let me reboot and see if i screwed anything important up. i removed everything except for one dependant lib. pkg. and the icon is gone. high-color-icon-trigger file was the icon i think. bbl. let me reboot now. [02:42] Hey Tex_Nick, thank you for the suggestion. Will ask the #python guys also! [02:47] wilee-nilee: reboot and icon is gone, everything is running ok for now. [02:47] KriShaNsin, Cool. [02:47] wilee-nilee: nah, your cool. [02:47] Tapper: I just googled for "ubuntu panel RSS" looks like there are a few RSS reader panel apps [02:48] Tex_Nick, thank you and Im sorry I dont know what RSS is [02:48] Tex_Nick, i will look into it [02:48] Can I configure screen so it can be accessed by multiple users? (Not necessarily at the same time) [02:49] Can anyone help me understand why I am getting this error? I've Googled, but no solution works. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5806601/ [02:49] Thank you. [02:49] Guest27917: that's pretty much what it's for. People attached to the running instance. More than one person can attach. Certainly is that way with tmux so I'd expect the same with screen [02:50] i got a glitch with my mouse pointer speed settings, everytime i set it to slow, and then close that settings window, it goes back to default speed. anyone know of this issue? [02:50] MJ94, Works here. [02:50] Huh, wilee-nilee. Odd. [02:51] wilee-nilee: Do I need to be sudo? [02:52] You can try it with sudo - it will most likely resolve the issue [02:52] MJ94, I ran it as you did in your command, I'm on a desktop though, you are not root so not sure really. [02:53] irmbrady: the bummer is, I'm not sudo certified [02:53] :P [02:54] MJ94, Limited user might be the problem, just a guess, would not seem to matter. [02:54] That is probably why you are having the permission error :) [02:54] MJ94: What is ~/folderimin? Is it a symbolic link to /var/www or something similar? :o [02:55] mj94@server:~/whenimbetter.com$ [02:55] that's the real folder [02:55] MJ94: You could try running apt-get install wordpress [02:56] ! info wordpress [02:56] irmbrady: that wouldn't be the newest version, would it? [02:56] !info wordpress [02:56] wordpress (source: wordpress): weblog manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 3.5.1+dfsg-2 (raring), package size 4721 kB, installed size 12406 kB [02:56] MJ94: 3.5.2 is current, so it's not far off. [02:56] you want the lastest use a ppa. normally [02:56] dr_willis: hm? [02:57] !ppa [02:57] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [02:57] so, which way should I go about this? [02:57] use the repo version is easirr [02:57] Alright guys, got an old machine with VGA. I purchased a VGA to HDMI converter. VGA and 3.5mm goes in, HDMI goes out. I plugged the HDMI cable into my 20" Monitor, worked fine with a 1024x768 resolution. Plug it into my 42" tv and no output shows. Suggestions? Can I manually set a resolution no matter what? [02:57] I'm not horribly familiar with Linux, and it's my friend's machine. [02:57] apt-get is easier. Adding a ppa then installing latest shouldn't be too much hassle. I would just do apt-get though [02:57] I'll wait till he can install the latest [02:58] Just to make sure it works [02:58] lasers: okay [02:58] dr_willis: can he add a PPA without sudo? [02:58] apt-get install wordpress? [02:58] somsip: nope [02:58] MJ94: Exactly that - you might still have persmission errors [02:58] But try anyway [02:58] dr_willis: 09:53 < MJ94> irmbrady: the bummer is, I'm not sudo certified [02:59] MJ94: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WordPress [02:59] can't apt-get without root either [02:59] er, sudo [03:00] sudo grants you root rights. [03:00] Has Ubuntu really grown in bloat so far as to be useless on netbooks now? I'm trying to run 13.04, either Ubuntu/Lubuntu/Xubuntu and it just crawls and locks up just running Firefox! Hard drive light never turns off. Seems unreal. [03:00] some apps might be installable to the users home [03:01] Hello. I'm looking for some help with a problem I recently encountered using Lubuntu 13.04. === ubuntu is now known as Guest20294 [03:01] Can anyone point me to instructions for building a .deb for a library? [03:01] Hello? [03:01] I'm trying to follow this: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html and it seems a bit... incomplete. [03:02] I set it up as a file server and all was well for a couple weeks. But now when booting up, I just get the Lubuntu loading screen and then a black screen with a blinking cursor. [03:02] can someone explain to me why I can't talk on this channel on my laptop? [03:02] Can anyone check to see if I'm muted on my IP address or anything [03:02] I'm having problem after problem, and trying to get very important work done, and for osme reason I was muted a few days ago for no reason [03:02] appleoneonone: what nick? [03:02] any nick [03:03] kkk [03:03] appleoneonone: It seems you're not quieted now. [03:03] Help needed. I cannot see my win8 partitions under ubuntu [03:03] So, "be happy?" [03:03] sdfsdfsdfsdfsdf, no klan allowed [03:03] nick apple111 [03:03] It keeps telling me I'm unable to send to the channel [03:03] appleoneonone: Many channels require you to register your nickname with NickServ to talk [03:03] Neither can my grub find my win8 partitions [03:04] appleoneonone: that nick isn't in this channel. [03:04] The problem I'm having is that when I su in the term, after just installing 13.04 64bit on my laptop, that its saying it the wrong password [03:04] what was the last lts please? [03:04] appleoneonone: sudo, not su [03:04] appleoneonone: if you're using the webchat, you cannot change your nick after you join. You'll need to part and re-entry if you do that. [03:04] !lts | olskolirc [03:04] olskolirc: LTS means Long Term Support.

[03:06] wheatthin, i only have sda sda1 sda2 sda5 under /dev/ directory [03:06] appleoneonone: Mint is unsupported here. [03:06] wilee-nilee, I burnt the iso into my pendrive [03:06] !mint | appleoneonone [03:06] appleoneonone: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [03:06] So I decided to install 13.04 since I already had it on a flash drive and trying to hurry up and submit a paper before 12, which is in less then an hour [03:07] The problem isn't linux mint, the problem is now ubuntu since thats what I just ibnstalled it on [03:07] Is there a more advanced channel for Ubuntu? [03:07] appleoneonone: so what is the problem? [03:07] tuxchow, make sure your connections are connected properly, then check again [03:07] when I su, it comes back "Authentication failure [03:07] wheatthin, ehmm... do you mean the connection of my hard drive? [03:08] dont su [03:08] yeah [03:08] use sudo [03:08] appleoneonone: use 'sudo' [03:08] But why doesn't su work? [03:08] subman, for addressing what? [03:08] appleoneonone: what are you trying to do wuth su [03:08] hello just making a quick pol [03:08] appleoneonone, it's cause it's password is randomly generated [03:08] I have a pair of external displays at work, and a different pair at home. I have a separate xrandr config file for each, because the work display are both oriented vertically. Is there a way to have the system automatically know which file to run, when I plug it into the dock? [03:08] If I setup ubuntu server to only run tiny tiny rss, ejabberd and owncloud will 512MB of ram suffice? [03:09] su is not the ubuntu way [03:09] appleoneonone: just use sudo. Or if you have to get into a root shell, sudo -i [03:09] So where can I find this randomly generated password? I thought it was just the one I setup when I installed the system [03:09] appleoneonone, DON"T use SU [03:09] appleoneonone: 'su' switches to a different user [03:09] I'm tyrin to use su [03:09] because === jack is now known as Guest52201 [03:09] I've installed libav-doc. where on my filesystem I can find the docs? [03:09] appleoneonone: the password is your user password [03:09] do you guys thing google chrome is better or firefox? [03:09] appleoneonone: 'sudo' runs in root permission [03:09] or should I browse them with a tool? [03:09] you DONT use su to gain root rights [03:09] appleoneonone, please don't be ignorant, don't use sU [03:09] when I sudo apt-get update, it comes back E: Could not get lock var/lib// blah blah blah [03:09] on ubuntu [03:09] !better > marawan2 [03:09] marawan2, please see my private message [03:09] wheatthin, the output is here: http://pastebin.ca/2410323 [03:09] Unable to lock the administration directory [03:10] dr_willis: that doesn't make sense... [03:10] appleoneonone: close other programs that use the package repos [03:10] tuxchow, ok, it's there, just not mounted [03:10] dr_willis: I do it that way, on a daily basis. My coworkers do it that way on a daily basis. [03:11] SuperLag: yes it does. yiu can su to other users. not to root on a default ubuntu setup [03:11] the only programs I had up is firefox and google chrome [03:11] but apperantly now after closing them out, it works, any reason why? [03:11] wheatthin, I am sorry but... isn't it very strange that i dont have sda3,4 in the list? [03:11] dr_willis: Oh. that's why one of the first things I do is "sudo passwd root".... so I can do just that. [03:11] wilee-nilee, advanced performance issues [03:11] is firefox or chrome suppose to not allow me to sudo-apt-get upgrade/update [03:11] dr_willis: However, I'm not your average user, and I know how not to screw things up :) [03:11] appleoneonone, using any program in the userspace of root, can allow privelege escalation with the programs in memory [03:12] SuperLag famous last words [03:12] appleoneonone: What are you typing exactly? 'sudo apt-get update' is supposed to be ran by itself [03:12] tuxhcow, Umm did you make extended partitions? [03:12] appleoneonone: you might have a look at this when you get some time ... http://www.howtogeek.com/111479/htg-explains-whats-the-difference-between-sudo-su/ [03:12] okay thank you wheatthin [03:13] dr_willis: *shrug*... I work in *nix systems on a *daily* basis, and most of them have no sudo even installed, so su - is your only option. [03:13] subman, This is ubuntu support not any more advanced on freenode but ones specialized [03:13] wheatthin, i am not sure. I just follow the win8's default settings [03:13] guys I have ubuntu 12.04 , it is really slow when surfing the web. I'm using wired connection [03:14] tuxchow, well then you wouldn't have those extended partition values in your partition listing [03:14] wilee-nilee, I don't know what that means [03:14] kelly, is anything else slow? How many computers share your internet connection? [03:14] sdb is your windows partition === lhx is now known as lhx5 [03:14] wheattin, sdb is my pendrive [03:14] crypt, I slelected that when I set it up, is there isn't reason to install this? [03:14] only me , i tried PCLinuxos it's good [03:15] tuxchow, actuall /dev/sdb1 [03:15] Does it make it so where anyone who had my hdd would be unable to hack into it and get my files? [03:15] subman, Run the channel search in your client to see channels and look. This is off topic otherwise. [03:15] kelly if you want to compare os's use #ubuntu-offtopic [03:15] and can it be hacked into, or is it pretty much impossiable to use it? [03:15] kelly, do you download anything? bittorrents? [03:15] no [03:15] wheatthin, sdb is my pendrive [03:15] kelly, do you have a wireless router? [03:16] yes i have , alfa wireless [03:16] wilee-nilee, maybe I misunderstood you. I'm looking for more advanced Ubuntu help. Is this available? How is this offtopic? If not available then no is the answer. [03:16] tuxchow, Hmm how many physical drives do you have? [03:16] kelly, have you disabled or locked down the security on the wireless? [03:16] appleoneonone, Any OS basically if not encrypted can be reached easily, with a live cd. [03:16] wheatthin, I have 2 , the main drive and a pendrive [03:16] i don't use the wireless connection , i never tried it , i'm using wired connection [03:17] subman, what do you mean by advanced performance issues? [03:17] tuxchow, seems like you overwrote your windows 8 partition then [03:17] kelly, but if it's on and not secured, anyone else could be using it. [03:17] wheatthin, i chose the option 'replace my fedora' when installing === s is now known as Guest46675 [03:17] appleoneonone: Are you still getting the 'could not get lock error'? [03:18] tuxchow, well like I said, it looks like you overwrote it during installation, so now no more windows 8 [03:18] sorry i don't understand u [03:18] kelly, what kind of router do you have? [03:18] wheatthin, :( [03:18] wheatthin, but i still cannot understand why sda3 and sda4 are missing [03:19] Hey guys, listen, I absolutely hate the direction Ubuntu has taken since 10.10, I'm currently on 10.04, and have been hesitant to migrate, but I just can't keep on living with the lack of support, and random program crashes, anyways, I'd love to move to Debian, but Debian now has Gnome 3, and let's face it, Gnome 3's a ruddy joke, so I am now planing on disdainfully migrating to Linux Mint, as it's the only half-decent OS that comes pre-loaded wi [03:19] th Mate (a better fork of Gnome 2) available right now. ...anyways, I was wondering, just in-case something goes wrong, is it easy and safe to boot from a Live USB, 'dd' my Hard Drive to a .IMG file?, and would it be easy to restore my Hard Drive to its previous state (with Ubuntu 10.04) from said .IMG file? [03:19] Thomson TG585 v8 [03:20] ...my apologies for the lengthy question. [03:20] RJ45: gnome shell has a gnome2 mode now.. making mate redundant [03:20] RJ45: you can clone hds with dd. yes. [03:20] kelly, pm me [03:20] dr_willis: I can't find any setting like that in Debian! [03:20] Seven_Six_Two, well beyond the regular installation issues, I don't seem to be able to get any reliable performance out of Ubuntu since about 10.04 on my netbooks. Even the 'lower resource' lubuntu and xubuntu. All seem to just drive my HD crazy running just Firefox and Gmail/Google Docs/Google News! [03:21] subman, that sounds like a memory limitation, which eats in to swap. [03:21] dr_willis: plus when I tried the new Debian, it reverted to fall-back anyways, somethin' 'bout graphics error. [03:21] RJ45: latest gnome shell has a gnome2 mode. on ubuntu 13.04 [03:21] RJ45: if you don't like gnome3, don't use gnome3, there are plenty of other options [03:21] RJ45: i dont do debian. its not ubuntu [03:22] subman, use "top" to monitor resource usage, and remove unnecessary bits one at a time. [03:22] dr_willis: it's not just the really shit new version of Gnome that has made me now hate Ubuntu. ..it's other evil stuff too. [03:22] !language | RJ45 [03:22] RJ45: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [03:22] RJ45: rant elsewhere. we are support here. [03:22] I have, it is common bits. Firefox draws a ton. The update manager does. Everything takes up huge resources [03:23] debian support in #debian [03:23] brb, gotta take a SHIT! :P [03:23] Seven_Six_Two, it all seems fine with a fresh boot then things get worse from there. Just like Windows. You have to reboot every 12 hours or so [03:24] dr_willis: well that sure was productive :| [03:24] yep [03:24] lol that's really ignorant when they want to curse, are told not to, and do anyways === Tickle is now known as cedr--away [03:25] Ben64: "evil stuff"? Really? [03:25] amazon most likely.. too bad he didn't just ask how to remove it instead of ranting === cedr--away is now known as Tickle||Drunk [03:26] :( === Tickle||Drunk is now known as Tickle [03:26] Ben64: ... rather melodramatic don't you think? [03:27] dr_willis: so how do i activate gnome 2 mode in raring? [03:27] use classic [03:27] dr_willis: i have it in virtualbox and the desktop never shows up [03:28] is that 13.04? [03:28] yeah raring = 13.04 [03:28] wheatthin, i seems you are right ... sda1 sda2 sda5 add up to the size ofmy hard drive [03:28] ben64 I've found that you have to install gnome-shell and then select gnome-classic [03:28] use the latest gnome shell ppa [03:28] Well tomorrow is another day I guess. Good night folks.l [03:28] Ranting? Let's not and say we did. Please... [03:28] i recall [03:28] oh, it seemed like you said it was built into 13.04 [03:29] latest gnome ppa is only for 13.04 [03:29] ben64 have you tried using gnome-shell gnome 3? [03:29] i belive === fwilson is now known as fwilsleep [03:29] it's really easy on the system [03:30] this one? https://launchpad.net/~gnome3-team/+archive/gnome3 [03:30] yup [03:30] ive not messrd with this in ages. it may be for othger releases now [03:31] that's what's great about ppa's they advance as the releases do [03:31] well its a vm, so i don't care if it breaks anything [03:31] i install all the newest ones so i know i'm not missing anything by sticking to 12.04 [03:31] ben64 it's not specific [03:32] same ppa for both 12.04 12.10 and 13.04 [03:33] As a side note, I saw the interaction between the group here and RJ45. Even though he was out of place with language and etiquette, it does not bode well to speak of that in an ill manner after he/she has left. Everyone will then wonder if that happens after they leave. Just an observation, take it for what you care to. I just think those comments should be left out. [03:33] You run Ubuntu in VM? Under win7? win8? ________________? [03:33] wheatthin: not the same gnome version for every release [03:33] Ben64: XP? [03:33] usr13: ew. under 12.04 [03:33] xangua, no.. it updates as you update.. same ppa source tho [03:34] Ben64: You run 13.04 under 12.04? [03:34] yeah, and 13.10 [03:34] Ben64: Ok. That's interesting... [03:34] thats whats good about virtualbox [03:34] Ben64: Yea VB is pretty cool. I agree. [03:36] Seven_Six_Two : back === pred_prei is now known as aroman [03:43] Wow, my comment drew a lot of silence. At least from how I'm seeing it. [03:45] Hi all! I can't X11Forward even if I allowed X11 Forwarding. Works with windows and putty but not with my laptop, I get gtk warnings [03:46] asharas: I probably can't help you, but try posting the warnings. [03:46] asharas: asharas if it works with putty , what is different about laptop [03:47] the laptop works with ubuntu server [03:47] asharas: is the laptop wireless, and the desktop wired [03:47] I have one server and two laptops, one with win7&Putty, the second with ubuntu server [03:47] works for win laptop but not ubuntu laptop [03:47] asharas: wat is your hardware setup [03:48] whoever: hardware setup? [03:48] asharas: you are trying to send your windows desktop to ubuntu, or send your ubuntu desk top to windows [03:48] no no [03:49] asharas: ie: desktop running windos, linux, wired, wireless [03:49] a gui application to my laptop screen [03:49] let me explain better [03:49] asharas: are you tring to do this on the LAN or from WAN [03:49] LAN [03:50] connecting via ssh on my server (ubuntu) from my laptop (ubuntu), trying to launch, i.e, wireshark [03:50] asharas: is any box wireless [03:51] whoever: ??? [03:51] sse, is terminal, you can't launch a gui unless you are in a WD [03:51] *WDM [03:51] **ssh [03:51] aaaah, I need to launch xfce first? [03:51] asharas: You installed a window manager on your laptop, right? [03:52] yup, but not running [03:52] how do you expect to run a graphical application without a graphical environment? [03:52] the libs are there :-/ [03:52] there wireshark cli [03:52] you need X11 running [03:53] cgtdk: Thank you [03:53] there is a * [03:54] madprops: yes but asharas wants a gui or thinks he should see aone [03:54] When doing manual partitioning on a GPT disk, does it matter what file system the first partition is that gets the bios_grub flag? [03:55] roasted: no , you could run grub on a multi boot of windows [03:55] whoever: uh, what? [03:55] whoever and madprops , it's works if connection ssh from xterm [03:56] but I wanted something lighter, no desktop, etc... is it possible? [03:56] roasted: it does not matter what fs grub is on [03:56] whoever: I was curious about the bios_grub partitionin particular. "boot" itself is going to / [03:57] roasted: then edit the active partition if it is wrong [03:57] whoever: I'm not sure we're on the same page. I'm simply curious if I need to have the bios_grub partition set to a specific tile system type. [03:57] asharas: but you were saying that "I can't get a gui " [03:58] whoever: thanks for what? [03:58] roasted: no you don't [03:58] okay, thanks [03:59] cgtdk: for exsplicitly telling asharas with out x11 your not gonna see a gui [03:59] oh, that [04:00] yeah, now it works guys ;) but I was wondering if there was a lighter x11 server. Right now I'm using xfce but is there something lighter just for one window? [04:00] cgtdk: ya, i tried to explain it but he didn't seem to get it [04:00] asharas: openbox [04:01] thanks cgtdk [04:01] asharas: there is also lxde, which is a bit easier to use if you're unfamiliar with openbox [04:01] asharas: xmonadx read about it first [04:01] asharas: its tiling windows, you may not like it [04:01] whoever: Don't recommend xmonad to someone who didn't know that he had to have X running to run graphical software [04:02] he probably doesn't know Haskell [04:02] cgtdk: oh ya [04:02] whoever: what's tiling? [04:02] asharas: no stick with gnome [04:02] i3 would be a better choice for a tiling window manager, but it doesn't really matter since he only needs to show one window [04:02] * whoever hands asharas a windows 8 dvd :-) [04:02] ahammond: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiling_window_manager [04:03] no stick with gnome? :-/ sorry I don't understand what you mean [04:03] asharas: Gnome is a desktop environment like Xfce [04:03] but it's much heavier [04:03] asharas: Try Openbox if Xfce is too heavy for you [04:03] hello everyone, weird problem - just installed ubuntu on a new machine and bluetooth doesn't work at all - i've tried two different adaptors, different devices etc [04:03] cgtdk: yes but gotta grind somewhere [04:04] whoever: grind? [04:04] hum :-/ [04:04] asharas, I'm on an i3 laptop and I'm using Enlightenment [04:04] well, actually it does everything except see other devices - bluetooth icon appears, hcidump shows activity when i scan, etc [04:04] I meant i3 the window manager, not the CPU series by Intel [04:04] cgtdk: its from online gaming in other words practice, hone your skills [04:04] asharas, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enlightenment_%28window_manager%29 [04:05] I don't think you understand cgtdk : I'd like to get rid of a desktop, everything, I just want to open one window. Is it possible? [04:05] cptcel23: which version [04:05] asharas: Yes, openbox will do that [04:05] this laptop is a eeePC 701 ^^ [04:05] whoever, which version of what? ubuntu is 13.04 [04:05] and is your device paird correctly [04:05] asharas: openbox doesn't have any panels [04:05] cptcel23: ok, is this a laptop [04:05] okay, thanks guys, i'll try all this [04:05] whoever, i can't find any devices to pair - no it's not a laptop [04:06] Hi. [04:06] whoever, i'm trying with built in mobo bluetooth, and also a bluetooth adapter (usb) i've used before with no problems on 13.04 [04:06] cptcel23: do you see the bluetooth adapter up at the top [04:06] * asharas throws back the win8 dvd to whoever [04:06] whoever, yes i see that [04:06] this thing stinks [04:06] asharas: what thing? [04:06] openbox? [04:06] win8 :-D [04:07] oh... [04:07] cptcel23: if you right click it do you see add/ or setup new device [04:07] whoever, yes i do, and when i try it says 'scanning'.., and hcidump shows it's scanning [04:07] How would you cache the restricted repository on a offline machine? I am creating a LiveUSB that will be used in multiple laptops, and I really need to have many WiFi drivers available. [04:07] whoever, but i have two devices i've paired with other computers before (phone and keyboard), neither shows up after ages and ages and many attempts [04:08] cptcel23: then you need to have your device in pairing mode(follow the bluetooth device instructions ) [04:08] whoever, i know - i have done so [04:08] cptcel23: try removing and repairing the device [04:08] whoever, i have paired this keyboard many times, with this same bluetooth adapter, on other computers running 13.04 [04:08] hello [04:08] whoever, i can't add the device in the first place [04:08] cptcel23: i had that problem, and it came down to the adapter [04:09] cptcel23: all i can say is try other adapters [04:09] whoever, but i've tried two different adapters.. and one definitely works on anther computer with the same bt devices [04:09] whoever also running 13.04 [04:10] Is anybody here? [04:10] guest11111: No? [04:11] has anyone noticed their bluetooth scanning breaking recently? [04:12] Is Unity a Different desktop enviroment or a shell for gnome? [04:12] guest11111: a shell for GNOME [04:12] cptcel23: go with 12.10 not bleeding edge [04:12] atm i have to sit on a cold floor using my ps/2 keyboard and it's killing my back - getting bluetooth working would be really good ;) [04:12] guest11111: Although it could be considered its own desktop environment despite being a shell for GNOME [04:13] cptcel23: get a chair [04:13] thanks cgtdk [04:14] guest11111, Not correct unity is a plugin in compiz running in top of gnome 3. [04:14] on* [04:16] guest11111: I am not here [04:16] ubuntu releases are released every 6 months right? [04:16] yes [04:16] hmmm I get random crash notifications poping up every now and then [04:16] whoever, thanks for that helpful tip.. is there a wiki page i can add that workaround somewhere? bluetooth keyboard isn't working - buy a chair and a ps/2? ;) [04:17] cptcel23: Gold advice :) [04:18] well if anyone has any ideas on how to make my existing furniture compatible with ubuntu it would be super appreciated [04:18] cgtdk: I installed openbox but it can't run because failed to open display [04:19] bye [04:20] bye [04:21] uh [04:21] i would also add - if i set the computer to discoverable, my phone can't detect it either, so it doesn't work in either direction [04:21] asharas: I have no idea what that means. Try querying your preferred search engine if no one else can help you. [04:22] so i thought 13.04 didnt have wubi anymore, so i downloaded 13.04 iso and... i see wubi. im confused? [04:22] scubasteve, Not usable though. [04:22] then why is it in the official iso? [04:22] already searching ^^ [04:23] scubasteve, Just a remnant. [04:23] hm alright. i thought i maybe had the wrong version or something some how. thanks [04:24] scubasteve, I believe though that inspite of it not being supported a loaded 13.04 version somewhere. [04:25] scubasteve, http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ [04:25] bottom of list [04:26] i see ty [04:33] ok, playing music on Rhythmbox over wireless network, it keeps stopping to buffer, can I increase buffer size in Rhythmbox? [04:33] hello everybody [04:35] Hi, could I find a kernel for lucid that >=3.0 and built for i386? (not i686 as the backport lts one) === baze is now known as teak_wiki [04:36] phix: are there a lot of people with wireless networks near you? [04:37] felixonmars, lucid dektop is end of life and not supported, the server is though. [04:37] desktop* [04:37] wilee-nilee: yeah, i meant for the server [04:37] cool [04:38] i need 6rd thus >=2.6.35, and R6040 driver which only enabled in even newer ubuntu kernels, but the machine does not support cmov [04:38] james41382: 3 devices on the same 802.11n router (openwrt, dlink something) [04:39] james41382: I have decent reception, just wondering if I can increase the buffer so I get a smoother playback [04:40] i am not sure about increasing the buffer size with rhythmbox, but crowded channels when you are using wifi can put a damper on connection speed. [04:41] at least where i am there are a lot of wifi networks in my area. almost all 2.4 ghz, but 5 ghz is much less common. [04:41] phix: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1276124 [04:43] james41382: yeah I suppose that will work [04:44] cgtdk: Dude, thanks, I love openbox, ultra minimalist interface :-D === macwolf74 is now known as piewala [04:45] asharas: Yeah, it's nice :) [04:46] Hello friends. Question... I have a GPT disk with several partitions on it. 100MB (previously for EFI), 15GB Ubuntu /, 15GB Fedora /, and 200GB /home, along with swap as well. I formatted the 100MB EFI partition to FAT32 and gave it a bios_grub flag, but even after reinstalling, it didn't work. Is this setup incorrect? [04:46] when installing from a usb drive, should the drive being installed to be mounted, or not? [04:47] felixonmars, Here I believe. https://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ [04:48] I have not loaded a kernel in awhile so not sure a tar is what works here === Grmcrkrs is now known as unintelligible_g [04:52] cgtdk: Beeing able to just right click to exit the DM, I love that :) [04:56] asharas: You should try a tiling window manager one day, it's even better (if you have multiple windows) [04:56] any way to encrypt your hardrive after youve allready installed ubuntu and windows on a drive? [04:59] hey folks [04:59] For some reason I cannot find my copy of virtualbox on my computer...seems like it has been uninstalled. What can I do? [05:01] the .virtualbox folder is still in my home directory === jack is now known as Guest18662 [05:01] where can I find 2-3 year old issues of playboy's special editions online [05:02] fyuckwack: stay on topic please [05:02] help i need ttys back after installing nvidia drivers, when i switch to a tty, i'm able to log in, but i cannot see ANYTHING except a blinking cursor that looks like an underscore [05:04] unheeding, You familiar with nomodeset? [05:04] the grub option? [05:04] yeah [05:04] ;_; but my uptime [05:05] unheeding, Lol, really. [05:05] uptime is for people who don't like patched systems [05:05] 23:05:35 up 2:48, 5 users, load average: 0.23, 0.27, 0.31 [05:05] muh 3 hours [05:06] ok i'll try it, see you guys on the flip side. i won't leave the room though since i am using a bouncer. ;) [05:06] I'm not up on graphic drivers I have never had to load any, but I often see people from the tty fixing this. [05:08] framebuffer on the console and the nvidia drivers can fight also. wonder if he is just on fhe wrong console [05:08] how can it be deleted the command history in terminal? [05:09] history command has options [05:10] dr_willis: no, i can go to tty2, log in, and see that i'm logged in with the who command [05:10] but i cannot see anything except for a blinking underscore [05:10] it still happens when i use nomodset [05:11] jony_easyrider: history -c [05:11] weird. as a test try installing fbterm and run that on the console [05:11] mnemon, can be deleted only a part of it? [05:11] !info fbterm [05:11] fbterm (source: fbterm): A fast framebuffer based terminal emulator for Linux. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7-2 (raring), package size 59 kB, installed size 184 kB [05:12] jony_easyrider: yes. [05:12] fbterm doesn't work, but i can't see the output [05:13] you dont have 2 monitors do you? [05:13] mnemon, how, pls? [05:13] no, i just have one giant monitor 2560x1440 [05:13] i can paste my xorg.conf, i had to hack it up [05:14] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5806835/ [05:14] there goes one idea. odd. you could try all the old options like "nomodeset nofb text" [05:15] if i have a repository in sources.list ..... deb url precise partner ........ then i upgrade ubuntu to next version that is raring, will the repository in sources.list be upgraded to deb url raring partner ? [05:18] jony_easyrider: you can do unset HISTFILE to prevent the history from being written to .bash_history, and use history -c to clear out the current volatile history(won't clear the .bash_history file) and edit the .bash_history [05:18] silv3r_m00n, An upgrade changes the sources.list to the upgrade. [05:18] if it doesn't silv3r_m00n just fix it? it may comment out all nonstandard repos [05:18] okay, with the option "nofb" i can now see the system output on my ttys [05:18] i can still log in, but I can't see the login prompt [05:19] I just see all the kernel bootup info [05:19] you see other text. if yiu login blindly. [05:19] ? [05:20] no, the text remains the same [05:20] so the _ dodent change or move down the screen [05:21] no, now with nofb [05:21] instead of the _, i see messages from the bootup [05:21] from 0.592378 to 0.603359 [05:22] talking about the usb devices. [05:22] How could I extract a bunch of zip files in subdirectories to the directory they're in? [05:22] same on alt ctrl f1 through f6 also? no login: [05:22] yeah all my ttys are like this [05:25] Guest27917: use of the find command can handle that i imagine [05:29] do i need to install envy in order to make my asus 4850 card to work? or are there a better way to do it [05:30] envy¿ thats been dead for years [05:30] hey [05:31] what chipset us it ati? nvidia? [05:31] Sounds like the naming scheme or ATI [05:31] that's what i figured, even if it's listed in the packet manager [05:31] *for ATI [05:32] i dont recall envy in the repos [05:33] it was allways an unofficial 3rd party problematic script i recall [05:34] anyone successfully install zeromq on raring amd64? I can't seem to manage it and need some guidance. [05:34] my bad, i searched for envy and got the user lol being up so early makes my brain lagged [05:34] but still, i been trying to install drivers for my card and it keeps saying i miss the tools for it [05:34] ati driverfrom the repos. or the xswat ppa. or the .run drivers are normally used [05:34] yeah, i tried use the .run drivers [05:35] you did try the repo drivers first? [05:35] what's repo? [05:36] repository [05:36] and it means? [05:36] !Rep | Oct [05:36] !ati [05:36] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [05:36] !Rep | Oct [05:36] Damn.

[05:37] what [05:37] means you dident try the addational-drivers tool FIRST sounds like [05:37] madprops: Nothing. "Damn AutoCorrect" thing. [05:37] let's say i installed the os and used the drivers for that one if that's what you asking [05:37] lasers: on a smart phone? ;-) [05:38] but i wanted to be able to aticonfig for the fan and i couldn't [05:38] dr_willis: Nope! I don't know what's changing it so I'm investigating it now. :) [05:38] so that's how it all started [05:38] OctalGenesis: install. run addational-drivers tool.. let it install the drivers [05:38] how do i do that? [05:39] that ! ati url showed how u think [05:39] !ati [05:39] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [05:39] ok ty, i will give it a try [05:40] uninstall the .run drivers first [05:40] ugh [05:40] no, not more nvidia problems [05:40] ati [05:40] :-P [05:40] just as bad [05:40] and windows habbits [05:40] I ended up reinstalling because of nvidia issues [05:41] I have a pair of external displays at work, and a different pair at home. I have a separate xrandr config file for each, because the work display are both oriented vertically. Is there a way to have the system automatically know which file to run, when I plug it into the dock? [05:41] not had a nvudia issue in ages. butmy cards are old [05:41] dr_willis: in my case, it's a Quadro K1000M. Quite new. [05:42] hmm. some udev rule customazation perhaps [05:42] or old school. make a script :-P [05:42] how can I as a root to view the users' passwords list? its unreadable in /etc/passwd and /etc/shadow [05:43] You cannot. [05:43] Can someone please tell me where I went wrong with my partitioning scheme? BIOS set to legacy, GPT table on my SSD. Also, the unknown partition was formatted as FAT32 when I began the installer. What did I do wrong? It just goes into a boot loop. http://i.imgur.com/8ccltpD.png [05:43] and that sounds a lot like an attempt to hack [05:43] which you won't get help with, here [05:44] That was directed at Mancs. === Zen is now known as Guest32838 [05:48] roasted: legacy in bios seems to imply it is expecting mbr [05:48] nightfly: should I leave it on UEFI in BIOS, and keep my partitioning the same? === jono is now known as Guest59629 [05:49] yeah, try that [05:49] Mancs: root cant do it either i belive. its a security thang [05:49] would I have to reinstall for a fair trial or would simply switching it be okay? [05:50] how do you switch mirroring off with xrandr? [05:50] nightfly: didn't work with just switching it [05:50] so as a hacker which has a root access in my own machine i cant view the users' passwords [05:50] lol [05:50] Mancs: nope [05:51] thats the basic idea [05:51] or your own. [05:51] one way salted encryption? or some fancy thing i read years ago [05:52] but as a hacker who has a root access in my own machine, i can adduser a user and add it as sudoer [05:52] years and years.. [05:52] Can someone help me with ssh tunnel?? [05:52] A1Recon: ask [05:52] adding a user does not reverse encrypt.... [05:53] Cust [05:53] so i dont see the relationship [05:53] Love at first sight. [05:53] He's gorgeous, look at him! [05:53] how the fuck... [05:53] OK I am going to my friend's house and i need to set up ssh tunnel in my system so that i can transfer files over the net. Is that possible? [05:54] A1Recon: why a tunnle? why not just ssh/scp [05:54] That's the imgur caption from some thing, didn't even select it...

I recently did a full, clean install to Ubuntu 13.04, and my laptop computer is using a built in Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset. I have followed the entire procedure listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting All the way down to the Refreshing/reinstalling the drivers section, but nothing worked and all the tests showed up as fine: my PC recognizes my sound card, m [05:57] dr_willis, you played around with bodhi linux at all? [05:57] tannji: not looked at it in ages [05:58] trying to install it on an OLD laptop.... all kids of probs... but it runs faster from thumbdrive than XP does from the hdd lol [05:58] hey.. how do you make xrandr changes permanatly?

[06:05] what drivers savagecroc [06:06] dr_willis : with a widget like that ... what would you do with your free time then ? ;-) [06:06] dr_willis; worked for the first week, then after an apt-get update/upgrade both monitors dropped to a 1024*768 resolution.

[06:15] is it possible to disable the use of dnsmasq neatly? [06:15] Did you install if from the software center or from Google.com/chrome? [06:15] Hello. I need some help. I recently did a full, clean install to Ubuntu 13.04, and my laptop computer is using a built in Intel Corporation 6 Series/C200 Series Chipset. I have followed the entire procedure listed here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting All the way down to the Refreshing/reinstalling the drivers section, but nothing worked and all the tests showed up as fine: my PC recognizes my sound card, m [06:16] and use resolv.conf as usual with ubuntu? [06:16] null_dev, still no sound? [06:17] den Yeah, no sound at all. I've tested with both YouTube and with the sound file suggested in that Troubleshooting guide. [06:17] Could I run something by you? Are you sure you have the right output device selected? [06:17] null_dev I apologize if you've tried that before [06:18] so i have chromium in ubuntu 12.04 [06:18] Oh wow, that's interesting [06:18] how can i find where apps were installed?? [06:18] den No apology needed. I'm not totally sure that I have the right device selected, I'm actually really new to Ubuntu. [06:18] giwrgaras How about this, uninstall chromium and try chrome google.com/chrome [06:19] den And to Linux in general, to be honest. I've been using it for about a year or two but I'm really, really far from not being totally dumb about stuff :) [06:19] how about the things that are in the marketplace are not working properly? [06:19] that was the first choice in software center [06:19] null_dev play a youtube clip. Click on the speaker icon in the top bar, click sound settings, and cycle through all of the output devices [06:20] and i mention that also so that other people can find out that there is a prob between those 2 [06:20] Giwrgaras I've actually had more luck with Chromium than Chrome [06:20] Chrome was a bit unstable for me [06:20] the speeds in chromium are excellent [06:20] null_dev Does my explanation make sense? [06:20] unfortunately it crashes the whole system [06:21] Giwrgaras Oh wow, I'm sorry to hear that. I apologize if you mentioned this, but have you tried reinstalling? [06:21] den It does but for reasons unknown my mouse is locked up. I think the mouse pad is overheating, I need to give it a second before I can navigate with the mouse, and I'm not sure how to get to the icon in the top bar with my keyboard yet :D [06:22] null_dev Come to think of it ... neither do I ... [06:22] i tried.... i tried to switch to ubuntu, but i can't do it, i rely on too many windows apps :( shun me! [06:22] how do i uninstall programs in ubuntu [06:22] rofl sorry but i dont have this system eve for a week [06:23] citric, did you try wine [06:23] Giwrgaras Go to the software center, click on the Installed icon, then you can search or browse for the application. There will be an uninstall button when you click into it [06:23] den I can't find anything when I hold the Super button down for it. Hopefully it'll fix itself here in a few like it normally does! [06:23] how do i do that with the terminal? [06:23] citric Which apps? We got Office 2010 and linq working in my office [06:23] like sudo apt get [06:24] Giwrgaras sudo apt-get remove chromium [06:24] oh thats better [06:24] well mainly because im getting interested in started to program in C# so.... that was that straw the broke the camels back lol [06:24] thanks [06:24] giwrgaras: Try Synaptic Manager. [06:24] den, thats awesome actually :P [06:24] madprops, no i didn't [06:25] citric I code in C# at work. Have you looked at Mono and Monodevelop? [06:25] 'virtual packages like chromium cant be removed' [06:25] ? [06:25] den, never heard of it, what is is? [06:25] citric, you could have run most windows apps with wine [06:25] citric I'm not ashamed to say that I think that C# is a brilliant language and I like .Net [06:26] citric It's an OSS implementation of .NET and C#. Monodevelop is their "Visual Studio" for Linux [06:26] citric it's pretty slick [06:26] citric Thanks! The Sys Admin and I are big Linux fanboys in a Windows shop [06:27] den, im really new to programming though, so maybe it's not for me :/ [06:27] citric It's the same ol' C# man. Just a different platform. Don't get me wrong, I think VS is great [06:27] citric Except 2012. I can't stand how it looks [06:27] den Is there a command to reset the mouse in the terminal? [06:28] null_dev That's ... a great question [06:28] null_dev Lemme do some DuckDuckGoing [06:28] den Thanks, I'll do the same. [06:29] null_dev Idea ... and this is probably going to lead to catastrophic results BUT, unplug then replug the mouse? [06:29] den are you a bot [06:29] wtf [06:30] madprops Am I? How about that for an existential crisis [06:30] den It's a laptop. [06:30] null_dev How strong are you? Think you could rip the trackpad out? :X [06:31] den I might be able too, but I'll just go get my cat. Might be easier. [06:31] null_dev Path of efficiency, I like it [06:31] Giwrgaras Sorry, looks like it's time for the software center [06:32] Giwrgaras Or synaptic [06:32] den Okay, I fixed it. [06:32] bah, i don't know how this happen but now my ubuntu won't launchbar or the cairo dock anymore [06:32] null_dev NICE! What did you do? [06:32] sudo modprobe -r psmouse [06:32] sudo modprobe psmouse [06:33] null_dev The student has become the teacher! Well done homie [06:33] den, currently i have visual C# express 2010, but downloading 2012 visual studio expresss 2012 just to check it out [06:33] den ^^ Thank you! [06:33] citric The express products are great. I can't stand how 2012 looks. May be a personal preference [06:34] den Okay, it says 'play sound through' and then in the box below it there is 'Speakers built in audio' [06:34] null_dev Now take a look if you've selected the proper output devices [06:34] i assume it's got that windows 8 look? [06:34] null_dev only one device? [06:34] den That seems to be the only option. Volume and balance look fine. I'm going to click the test sound button, just in case. [06:34] what is hcengine? it seems like it's getting warnings about that now [06:34] null_dev Try playing with the modes? [06:34] den Yeah, only one device. Test sound button played no sound. Modes? [06:35] null_dev Just above the Test button [06:36] den Holy crap that worked but I don't know why! [06:36] citric Yeah, I just don't think the distinction between the different panes is clear enough [06:36] den The only option was balance, fade and subwoofer were blacked out. [06:36] best browser for ubuntu? [06:36] any suggestions? [06:36] null_dev Oh wierd! Check youtube [06:36] firefox [06:36] Giwrgaras I recently switched back to Firefox for plugin reasons [06:37] den I moved the balance to the left and it worked, then back to the right and it worked, then back to the middle where it started and it worked. [06:37] den Aye, youtube is working. [06:37] den, know any good tutorials for a total beginner ? :) [06:37] ill stay with this one then i hate restarting my pc [06:37] Hello. I can't find the answer on any forums so far. Is there a way to add "open as administrator" to the right click context menu like some other versions of linux have? [06:37] den In exchange for all your great help, enjoy this song! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XRZ-jLOrFfk [06:37] citric Um, check Channel 9 and MSDN [06:38] den Which incidentally is what I was using to test. [06:38] also another question please.. if i want to search from something from the terminal, i know now install, remove but those work only if i know the exact name of the program [06:38] how do i search from progs to install from the terminal and see associated lists? [06:39] null_dev My pleasure man! This song is great. [06:39] hello, where are stored dns servers obtained via dhcp ? [06:39] Nobody? [06:39] den I'm glad you like it. I hope it brings you as much joy as having sound again brings me. [06:39] in /etc/resolv.conv there is only nameserver 127.0.0.1 === ms_ is now known as mamtina [06:40] null_dev Having another Linux user is payment enough. We get enough people on this platform and we'll start getting more software vendors building tools/apps for Linux [06:40] citric Honestly man, get a book and keep at it [06:40] den I hope so. I like Linux because Windows isn't worth paying for when I can have Ubuntu for free. And it's been a blast learning more about computers. [06:41] hello new to Ubuntu how is everyone [06:41] anybody out there? [06:41] soooo many books lol [06:41] hard to choose [06:41] null_dev Nice, that's the thing. After I fiddle with it for a while, my Ubuntu install feels more "mine" than any Windows install I've had [06:41] citric I like the Murach books === ivan_ is now known as Guest73893 [06:41] citric Check out the Murach C# books. They touch on most of the major libraries [06:42] citric, what is it you're trying to learn again? [06:42] linux has a lot of security but it should focus more on stability [06:42] imho [06:42] Giwrgaras I agree [06:42] c# [06:43] Thing is, tools like Chrome are Google's domain. Stability is their baliwick. Though, they use Ubuntu in-house [06:43] what is hcengine? [06:43] !list [06:43] Guest52990: No warez here!

[06:44] null_dev direct messag [06:44] message [06:44] msg me [06:44] ben doh, don't know why that didn't occur to me. [06:44] null_dev you're mesmerized by sound [06:45] Looking for info or assistance. Is this the right place [06:45] den It's true! [06:45] Colonel187 Yes sir, shoot [06:45] citric Did that go through? [06:45] anyone might have a clue to why ubuntu seem to miss hcengine now? [06:46] yup [06:46] I've been searching and can't find a straight answer on the forums. Is there a way to add "open as administrator" to the right click context menu? I know some other version of linux have this. [06:46] You would run it as sudo from the commandline [06:46] So, let's say you wanted to run Firefox as an admin [06:46] yes i know that [06:47] !details | Colonel187 [06:47] Colonel187: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..."

Thanks again, den. Maybe one day I'll be able to be a guru like you. [06:48] den Heck, maybe one day I'll understand why that worked in the first place. [06:49] null_dev Not a guru, I'm more of an enthusiast. I'm just enthralled we got you going [06:49] hi, i've got a problem while booting. using ubuntu 13.04. nvidia + intel (sandy shit) graphic cards. though.. can turn off the intel one in bios :D using nouvaeu kernel module. while booting it freezes 1 out of 5 times. grub is set to console, linux load is set to text, and i'm using not quiet boot. how can i debug what's causing the freezes? [06:49] hey all. i put my mum on ubuntu 10.04LTS when it came out, and now as the support period has ended, i'm considering an upgrade. would 12.04LTS be suitable, and is there an upgrade path that doesn't mean i have to backup all the files on it? [06:49] sounds great, thanks! :) [06:49] ok, I am trying to find a way to add "open as administrator" to the right click context menu in the file manager so I can simply right click a folder or file and open it as root instead of using the command line. I've seen this in other version of linux and I saw that it was included in nautilus tools but they don't work on 13.04 does anybody know of another way to add this function [06:49] den Oh, I've been all about the Ubuntu/Linux for a while now. But it always feels great when it's working :D [06:50] lol [06:50] is it possible to get kernel boot to write it's output to somewhere? [06:50] can someone that know something about graphic card installations pm me please [06:51] ben Also, If you want more cool music ask me anytime.

I need to know how to specify that a file is configuration file [09:36] Dispassion: hi mate, how can we assist you? [09:36] so that it's not removed when package is uninstalled [09:37] petan plenty tutorials, here's one: http://www.webupd8.org/2010/01/how-to-create-deb-package-ubuntu-debian.html [09:37] petan: you mean backing up your favorite .deb packages? [09:37] !packaging | petan Have you had a look through the packaging guide, [09:37] petan Have you had a look through the packaging guide,: The packaging guide is at http://developer.ubuntu.com/packaging/html/ - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment/NewPackages for information on getting a package integrated into Ubuntu - Other developer resources are at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuDevelopment - See also !backports and !sponsoring [09:37] MonkeyDust LOL that is a site I was looking to before I went here, it's not there [09:38] petan: what are you really trying to do [09:38] Ben64 I made a .deb package for my program, and I need the configuration file in /etc to stay there when I update it [09:39] then those links should contain the answer [09:39] ? [09:39] DJones I appreciate the link, but this is almost as helpful as saying "google it"... one of these hundreds links probably contain answer, but if someone know it and could tell me, I could save the weekend :P [09:40] petan: I don't know the answer, but there are also 2 other IRC channels, #ubuntu-devel and #ubuntu-motu that may be able to help [09:40] all these packaging guides only include very basic information [09:41] petan: it' snothing like saying "google it" [09:41] petan: the ubuntu help triggers contain a lot of information, you sure you searched it well :p? [09:41] petan: it details exactly how to make a package and what files goe where [09:41] petan: what is not covered in that guide that you need [09:41] ikonia: really? where is it, I can't find it... what I need is "how can I flag a file in package as configuration file which needs not to be removed when you uninstall package" [09:42] petan: ok - so that's the specific question you have, although why you would leave a config file in place if you want to remove the package doesn't make sense [09:43] ikonia: it makes perfect sense, every package does this (that is why purge option exist) because when you upgrade a package it consist of remove and install [09:43] petan: ok - so not when you remove, but when you upgrade [09:43] so that if you don't want your config files to be overwritten everytime you update package, you need to specify that it's config file [09:43] ikonia: it's the same for dpkg [09:43] try it yourself... [09:43] petan: is tht part of the prerm ? basically an "if exist" style statement ? [09:44] ikonia no it's not part of prerm, I don't know how the correct implementation looks like, hence I am here :) [09:45] petan: have you looked at an example package where you know this behaviour works ? [09:45] on debian.org there is explanation saying that this exist and is being used in packages, but nowhere is described how to implement it for people who are creating not using packages [09:45] ikonia: every package that install configuration files to /etc is using it, I just don't know how to "look at it" [09:46] petan: have you tried it with a standard layout ? [09:46] eg: not specifying [09:46] yes, and my config file was overwriten with clean version, removing my modifications to it [09:47] which is what specifically must not happen [09:48] I am having some trouble setting up some folder permissions... i created a group (www-pub) add myself and www-data to that group, changed the var/www folder to have that group, changed permissions 755, g+s etc and i dont have permissions to that folder [09:48] http://pastebin.com/yY4H9Sbw what is wondering me despite adding myself i am not part of that group as seems [09:48] Hounddog: you did log out and back in? [09:48] that i have not done yet [09:48] Hounddog: did you log out and back in since [09:48] one sec [09:48] petan: http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling isn't that the reason, why you add your configs to .conffiles, so dpkg can handle them correctly? [09:48] tgats required :-P [09:49] llutz sounds like answer :-) thanks [09:49] -_- [09:49] thx [09:50] dr_willis, histo thx... i was doubting myself [09:50] llutz that describes how to delete old conf files, I am looking for the very explanation how to define what is conf file and what is not [09:51] im trying to sux user transmission, but i get env: transmission: file or folder doesnt exist [09:51] petan: "add your configs to .conffiles, so dpkg can handle them correctly?" [09:51] lotuspsychje: sux user -c command perhaps? [09:52] dr_willis: lemme try holdon [09:52] petan: those ending in "/var/lib/dpkg/info/foo.conffiles" [09:52] sux is a wrapper to su. i beluve [09:52] sux is ooooold school [09:53] and broken since ages [09:53] dr_willis: i know you provide me that handy tool :p, it works for all my other stuff, but transmission doesnt want to [09:53] llutz: broke in what way?

If I try to do the same thing on ubuntu it just opens the one file. If I select all of them and press extract it just creates a shitton of folders. How would I go about unpacking this?

[10:13] yes [10:13] ikonia, when updating a package, it will prompt you to go ahead and overwrite or not (dpkg-old, dpkg-dist ...) [10:14] ok, so not monitoring, but checks for differences at upgrade time [10:14] I have some changed files of my own that I would like to get a prompt for [10:14] kilonux: did you try a print test page, with the device itself? [10:14] so they don't get overwritten each time [10:14] yes [10:15] hplip says it does the job, but [10:15] kilonux: thats odd indeed [10:15] crazy [10:16] Is there a way to do this? I'm looking at dpkg-divert right now [10:17] kilonux: is your device a scanner aswell? === tv_ is now known as ekinox001 [10:17] nope [10:19] kilonux: maybe you need the driver from hp site [10:19] did it [10:21] hey guys [10:21] kilonux: how about latest hplip download? [10:21] !info hplip [10:22] hplip (source: hplip): HP Linux Printing and Imaging System (HPLIP). In component main, is optional. Version 3.13.3-1 (raring), package size 85 kB, installed size 424 kB [10:22] kilonux: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/gethplip.html [10:22] hplip 3.13.6 [10:23] anyone willing to help me about main menu [10:23] ' [10:23] any app that I install does not appear in menu [10:23] dn5 start with a question [10:24] kilonux: http://hplipopensource.com/hplip-web/models/deskjet/deskjet_840c.html [10:24] ikonia, ok, well, dpkg-divert seems to the tool [10:24] for example, I aptitude irssi, and everything is finished, I can fire it up over terminal, but the application(Irssi) is not shown in main menu [10:24] cheers [10:24] I also tried adding application to main menu over menu editor, and typing 'Irssi' but it does not recognize it like it's not installed at all. [10:25] dn5: irssi needs a terminal to run [10:25] dn5 what desktop you using ? [10:25] dn5 it's because irssi is a terminal command, which is not showed as stand alone app [10:25] Oh.. so :) [10:25] irssi has no GUI , dn5 [10:26] But I though creating a shortcut which will fire up irssi in terminal [10:26] open a terminal type irssi [10:26] lotuspsychje: Thanx, maybe I'll find things there.... [10:26] dn5: you can create an irssi startup launcher from terminal [10:26] I know irssi is not GUI :> [10:26] dn5 make a link and open it in the terminal from the link add it to the menu [10:26] one second please [10:26] dn5: i recently created one for links2 to open a terminal with google [10:27] i have an alias to run irssi in screen [10:27] * BluesKaj shakes his head , it's so difficult to type irssi ... [10:27] could I, for example, create a launcher with type "Application in terminal" :> [10:27] i had some questions with ubuntu-network that always Error! [10:27] dn5: yes [10:27] BluesKaj it's the double ss that may be confusing :p [10:28] let me check [10:28] MonkeyDust, , no doubt :) [10:28] yep, works great. How could I not remember this :> [10:29] !yay | dn5 [10:29] dn5: Glad you made it! :-) [10:29] hehe :> One more question [10:30] sorry but I have to ask [10:30] My connection is very low when I fire up computer, I'm using Ubuntu 10.04 LTS [10:31] dn5 10.04 desktop? if yes: it's !eol [10:31] I connect on wireless but the connection drop to 2 lines and the router is 3 meters far away. [10:31] dn5: we highly recommend you clean install newer version [10:32] dn5: (see topic) [10:32] I do agree lotuspsychje but I'm familiar with 9.04 so I switched to 10.04 LTS because they are very similar [10:33] dn5 but 10.04 for the desktop is dead, no longer supported or maintained [10:33] dn5: as MonkeyDust says its !eol for security reasons [10:33] !eol [10:33] End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [10:33] ah.. :( [10:34] dn5: you can always install gnome fallback on newer ubuntu versions with unity [10:35] I know but I hate installing new environemnt, for me it's seems like creating own distro. [10:35] dn5: things have been simplified alot for you to install mate [10:35] yea but unity is not gnome 3 and a lot of people don't like new stuff [10:35] I don't know. I would like to stay with 10.04. I do understand it's not good and there are security flaws but... [10:35] dn5 http://regmedia.co.uk/2013/03/24/ubuntu_release_cycle.jpg [10:36] dn5: we cannot support eol versions sorry [10:36] ouch :( [10:37] thank you anyway for your time guys [10:37] dn5: better go with 12.04 LTS then with gnome classic on it (if you want similar feeling) [10:38] Yeah.. I think that could be final option. But damn.. I did a reinstallation yesterday, installed everything I need. [10:39] dn5 it's easy to upgrade from LTS to LTS [10:39] Bad, bad destiny. [10:39] . [10:40] how do i manually install a newer unsupported package, is it a dpkg -i ? and how do i reverse to the stable state [10:40] roger21: whoaaa do'nt do that [10:40] roger21: mixing package versions is a bad idea [10:40] conkyrc [10:40] and forcing it with dpkg without matching dependencies will end bad [10:40] conky [10:40] lol [10:40] hmpf [10:40] wrong terminal [10:41] slighly newer like the 5th number [10:41] roger21: you will need the old deb [10:41] roger21: yes, like the 5th number, also bad [10:41] roger21: what do you want to upgrade and why ? [10:41] i sort of have a drive dying on a raid0 array, is there anything i can do to reduce the filesystem to the length of the remaining drives and sync them together to take out the faulty :( [10:42] well anyway i don't want to crash my system, i just want to troobleshot some bug [10:42] guys is ubuntu server better than desktop if im running nginx, gunicorn, off it?

Mainly what is the difference between a socket and just using a host and port? I'm using nginx to proxy pass fcgi requests to PHP, and some uses host:port and some examples use socket. (My nginx is running on a different host to PHP) [10:46] jcadduono: back up the data now, and replace the failing disk, rebuild the raid array, then put the data back [10:46] am trying to copy some files of about 1gb into my flash and it is saying 8hours [10:46] i can back up the data but how would i put it back?

[11:19] but im thinking of using ssh if its possible [11:19] sorry, sounds a stupid soltion, and as I said to you yesterday you are not makingyourself anonymous and you are trying to hide something that dosn't need to be hid [11:19] that's up to you [11:21] why, its working now and routed throuh tor too [11:21] great, so problem solved [11:21] zipy@dslb-092-072-219-027.pools.arcor-ip.net [11:21] doesn't look like it's working through tor [11:21] yes but i can only access from network [11:22] cuz i didnt connect irc through it ^^ [11:22] zipy: I use an SSH tunnel to squid for web access from work :) [11:22] i just need it to access tor network or for some blocked services [11:23] ok i guess i dont need to install a vpn server then [11:23] thats what i wanted to know :D [11:24] the only difference is that i have to configure all applications seperatly to connect via ssh tunnel right?

[11:37] dtonal: it can if you want, by default it does not touch it [11:38] except of the bootloader :D [11:38] ah no [11:38] ActionParsnip: also i have uninstalled unity completely and i am using lxde (apt-get install lxde) so does ubuntu-desktop will bring unity .. [11:38] live system doesnt at all [11:38] dtonal: Unless you instruct it to, no it shouldn't make any changes to an installed os [11:39] lxde doesnt work with unity but u can still choose between ubuntu desktop and lxde at login [11:39] vnc786: you could reinstall he lxde package and it will install what is needed that is missing [11:39] zipy: sure it does [11:40] lxde + unity? [11:40] zipy: unity is nothing but a shell, so you can run lxde as the DE and use unity as a shell on top [11:40] zipy: whever would it not work? [11:40] ok, thanks for your answers. think i have to discuss with the it-stuff of the university :) === BluesKaj_ is now known as BluesKaj [11:41] zipy: you can even use Compiz on its own as a standalone WM and run Unity. No desktop like those who use fluxbox / openbox on its own (like me) [11:41] dtonal: They'll probably still have a problem with it, but I would just use it anyways. There may be an issue with the networking though. [11:41] ActionParsnip: have you ever actually done that ? [11:42] ikonia: done which? [11:42] ActionParsnip: compiz on it's own as the window manager [11:42] http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2095021 [11:42] u have to replace openbox [11:43] ikonia: sure http://crunchbang.org/forums/viewtopic.php?id=2827 [11:43] ActionParsnip: you've tried it ? [11:43] ikonia: yeah was ok, prefer openbox [11:44] ActionParsnip: interesting, I've never seen that run on it's own. [11:44] hmm well i wont try that on my eee ^^ [11:44] zipy: yes but openbox is not lxde [11:44] k === MartinS is now known as Guest81580 [11:44] thought so cuz its in lubuntu [11:45] zipy: you can install any WM in lubuntu you want.... [11:45] ye but i dont think it makes sense on my slow eee [11:45] zipy: i dont think you quite grasp how flexible your OS is [11:46] Zipy, your linux desktop enviroment can be changed === Guest81169 is now known as al3x [11:47] I learned about the linux desktop enviroment from linux.about.com === al3x is now known as Guest93400 [11:52] is it possible to use 2 destkop environments who both use different default aplications like nautilus openbox etc? [11:52] that would be interesting [11:53] for example when i use lxde default window manager should use openbox and when i choose unity nautilus.. [11:53] atm i got dualboot ubuntu and lubuntu [11:54] zipy: nautilus is a file manager [11:54] zipy: unity uses compiz as window manager [11:54] oh i just translated it word by word [11:54] i mean file manager [11:55] zipy: lxde uses pcmanfm as file manager [11:55] zipy: openbox is a stand alone Window Manager [11:55] zipy: lxde is a Desktop Environment [11:56] yes [11:56] if i install two enviroments, i want different applications to use at default [11:56] Unity is a Desktop Environment (Desktop Environments require a Window Manager to stand on). [11:56] is that possible? [11:56] is it possible to transfer most of the tools form kali linux on ubuntu? [11:56] zipy: But yes, you can install as many as you like. [11:57] dn5: What tools? [11:57] used fot pentesting [11:57] usr13: unity is a shell for the gnome 3 desktop environment [11:57] dn5: Can you name any of them? [11:57] there are a lot of them :> [11:57] usr13: unity is a shell, gnome is the desktop environment [11:57] can't name that much [11:57] dn5: Packages? Scripts? [11:57] dn5: If the tools are in the repo's then yes, but bear in mind that kali is based on Debian and not Ubuntu so there's a chance that some won't be in the Ubuntu repo's [11:57] hmm [11:57] mostly scripts; perl, python, ruby [11:58] well i will just try it out [11:58] zipy: Ok, I stand corrected, gnome is the desktop environment, unity is a shell of it. [11:58] on vm tho :P [11:58] can someone give me there /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ? I move from kde to unity and mine is still tring to login to kde-desktop [11:58] dn5: You shouldn't have any problem then. [11:58] hehe [11:58] DJones, I will probably add repositorys that kali use [11:58] but do I have to update kernel [11:58] because I'm not familiar with that [11:58] zipy: So you have unity on top of gnome on top of compiz [11:59] dn5: Thats not something that would be supported in the Ubuntu channels, you're probably best asking in the kali support channel about that, mixing repo's could well cause breakages [11:59] thats what I'm actually afraid of [11:59] zipy: You have unity on top of gnome on top of compiz on top of X. Openbox is just on top of X [12:00] dn5 if you dud that then i imagine you might run into troubles [12:00] such ask kernel updates [12:00] might overide your ubuntu setup [12:00] unity on top of gnome on top of compiz on top of X [12:00] thats pretty stupid ^^ [12:00] Yep, I guess that is right iShoot [12:01] iv lookt into that idea [12:01] zipy: That is a matter of opinion [12:01] i like unity tho [12:01] but for my netbook it sux [12:01] hm. Perl is automatically installed on Ubuntu, right? [12:01] Unity is nice, but I use xfce [12:02] ActionParsnip: i would like to request you can you provide me command to remove ":amd64 (3.4.1-0ubuntu2.1)" from gnomine:amd64 (3.4.1-0ubuntu2.1) [12:02] i used xfce too but not lxde [12:02] .not +now [12:02] -not +now [12:02] I can't execute sudo apt-get install perl [12:03] dn5: Perl is a default app yes. [12:03] dn5: What is it you are trying to do. [12:03] >? [12:03] vnc786: so cut after the colon? [12:04] I'm trying to download pentesting tools one by one; the one I use the most [12:05] vnc786: the guys in #bash will know a trick or two [12:05] Good luck there. [12:05] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/CWHrw10y i am trying to remove lot of from this i remember something sed{a-b} [12:06] okay trying bash [12:06] dn5 why dont u use backtrack [12:07] I did use it for some time, not backtrack but kali thus they are almost same but these distros are not used for long-use but LiveCD runtime [12:08] but u want to move from kali to ubuntu and install all the pen tests? [12:08] backtrack is on ubuntu + gnome or kde already [12:08] dn5: If you use command sudo apt-get install perl* you will probably see that perl is already installed. [12:08] doesnt perl --version work? [12:09] k it works [12:09] :P [12:10] zipy: I already switched to Ubuntu yesterday. Now I want to transfer some tools (not all) on Ubuntu that I usually use for pentesting and reverse engineering. Backtrack is a bit older then kali linux and they are produced by same company - offensive security. usr13; yep I just checked. [12:10] which perl will work also as well as just trying to run perl [12:11] dn5: Actually, a better way is: ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/perl*list [12:11] ikonia: are you there? === stephan_ is now known as stephanmg [12:11] yep.. I have perl-base list, perl-modules.list and perl.list [12:11] Seems Perl is installed. [12:12] dn5: Install them by name, (they will be in Ubuntu's standard repositories, and some you prolly already have). === Guest93400 is now known as ak90 [12:12] Kartagis: yes ? [12:12] can someone give me there /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf ? I move from kde to unity and mine is still tring to login to kde-desktop === ak90 is now known as ak7 [12:12] I don't think so. Maybe a few of them would be in ubuntus default repositorys, like nmap.. but other one, wpscan etc etc aren't there. usr13. [12:12] ikonia: remember I had a smb problem? [12:13] dreadful, dreadful one [12:13] I'm afraid just because of kernel (2.6.32-48-generic) [12:13] I don't know will it support these tools that I need [12:13] dn5: You can browse /var/lib/dpkg/info/ to see what you have installed. i.e. ls /var/lib/dpkg/info/*list | less #That way, you can do key-word-search [12:14] dn5: What kernel do you have now? [12:14] yes, I do know that. I'm not that unfamiliar with dpkg :> [12:14] hello everyone [12:14] dn5: uname -r [12:14] good day [12:14] @usr13 2.6.32 [12:14] ain't it uname -a? :P [12:14] does anyone know how to solve the youtube problem in XUBUNTU?? [12:15] dn5: lsb_release -r #Show us. [12:15] @shimato507, which one? [12:15] dn5: are you running 10.04? [12:15] one second [12:15] auronandace: Must be.... [12:15] dn5, just the nick, @ isn't required on irc [12:15] auronandace yes I do [12:16] * mamtina has quit (Read error: Operation timed out) :3 [12:16] dn5: 10.04 is only supported on server now [12:16] when open youtube in xubuntu with mozilla or chrome the videos are distortion with sound, i already verify that the video card driver are ok since i can play dvd [12:16] BluesKaj: plus, some IRC clients don't capture that and highlight [12:16] I know, I had to upgrade to higher version but I don't like new (KDE) look. I'm familiar with Gnome and I also don't like installing new environemnts [12:16] shimato507, did u install other videoplayers ? [12:16] dn5: you too [12:16] dn5: You should upgrade to 12.04 if it is a desktop, 12.04 is the current LTS for Desktop. [12:17] dn5: How about xfce? [12:17] dn5 we can not help, if you run 10.04 on the desktop [12:17] shimato507, have you tried updating flash player or do a full reinstall of it [12:17] shimato507: try joining the html5 trial [12:17] i have minitube and all is ok there, but with youtube directly has the mentioned problem [12:17] shimato507: www.youtube.com/html5 [12:17] i had that same problem with flash too in lubuntu [12:17] dn5: http://www.google.com/imgres?imgurl=http://xubuntu.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/precise_01.png&imgrefurl=http://xubuntu.org/screenshots/&h=768&w=1024&sz=329&tbnid=3DkZZM159dj8_M:&tbnh=92&tbnw=123&zoom=1&usg=__K7BY9jXcrEAjCExcgV14AWvQCvE=&docid=BvU54jmDLaUqMM&sa=X&ei=2X7NUcTFA-LfyAH1mYHoDA&ved=0CD0Q9QEwAg&dur=861 [12:18] usr13, xfce-no thank you. fluxbox was somehow ok when I was younger. Now only gnome. For how long will be 12.04 updated, to which year? [12:18] dn5: You can use gnome. [12:18] dn5: supported until 2017 [12:18] since i am kind of newby (*sorry) havent try to reinstall flash player [12:19] thank you for pointing me on the right direction, i will search on how to do this and try this solution, [12:19] how in the actual name of FUCK do i change my goddamn .sh file access rights so I can actually run it? ... [12:19] !nounity | dn5 [12:19] dn5: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [12:19] !launguage | ddssc [12:20] sudo chmod g+rwx doesn't do the trick.. [12:20] thank you usr13 [12:20] WOW , this community is amazing [12:20] Will I have to do a full reinstallation or I can just upgrade [12:20] dn5: If you are set to lts you can just upgrade. [12:20] and which kernel is 12.04 [12:20] ddssc: can you right-click on the file and go to Properties? [12:20] shimato507, does it work now? [12:20] ddssc: then, go to the permissions tab [12:20] yes, currently 10.04 lts [12:21] !info linux-image precise | dn5 [12:21] saiarcot895: it reverts back when I click "allow to run as program" checkbox... [12:21] dn5: linux-image (source: linux-meta): Generic Linux kernel image.. In component main, is optional. Version 3.2.0.48.58 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 32 kB [12:21] ddssc: are you on an ext4 partition or NTFS partition [12:21] let me try, i'll let you know in a second [12:22] saiarcot895: aaah yes, that's it is it... damn hw I forgot that... thanks [12:22] dn5: cat /etc/update-manager/release-upgrades #See if it says Prompt=lts [12:22] If so, you are good to go. [12:22] saiarcot895: you know of a way I can make ntfs drives behave like linux drives ? [12:22] dn5: Just use the updage-manager [12:22] yes, as I said it's lts; [12:23] # .... [12:23] Prompt=lts [12:23] ddssc: I believe you have to specially mount the partition [12:23] * saiarcot895 goes to google [12:23] saiarcot895: isn't it already mounted since I'm accessing it? [12:23] ddssc: it is [12:23] usr13 could I choose which version to upgrade to [12:24] Or it's automatically to latest version [12:24] dn5 but your lts is no longer supported [12:24] I know thats why I want to upgrade [12:24] ddssc: you will have to unmount it and mount it through Terminal [12:24] saiarcot895: any docu on that? [12:24] dn5: When it is set to lts it will automatically upgrade to 12.04 [12:24] hmm let me try [12:25] I won't loose any stuff as it's only an upgrade and not a reinstallation, right? === nahuel_ is now known as ilpollo [12:25] dn5: but you should be fully updated first. [12:25] stop clicking all the time, ur file is in drive c in documents folder... secret service [12:25] has anyone been to tld6.com [12:25] saiarcot895: HOw do you mean "make ntfs drives behave like linux drives"? Do you mean file permissions etc? === chris is now known as Guest75575 [12:25] does anyone know a free hosting website [12:25] usr13 what do you mean? [12:25] dn5: Get 10.04 fully updated first, and then do the Distribution Upgrade to 12.04 [12:25] aha [12:25] DJones: yes, primarily in terms of the file execute permission [12:26] I will do so. [12:26] DJones: ddssc: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12724960/cant-change-allow-executing-file-as-program-in-ntfs#comment17186835_12725086 [12:26] It still the same problem even after apply and use the html5 trial [12:26] saiarcot895: NTFS doesn't support execute permissions [12:26] dn5: Do all updates first. From command line you can do sudo apt-get upgrade [12:26] can i use terminal to reinstal or fix flash? [12:26] DJones: ddssc: that comment seems to describe how to launch it with full execute permissions [12:26] saiarcot895: Maybe have a look at http://askubuntu.com/questions/5069/cant-set-permissions-for-files-on-an-ntfs-partition [12:27] usr13 - 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgrade [12:27] I think my current 10.04 lts is up to date [12:27] shimato507, sudo apt-get install flashplugin-nonfree [12:28] Kartagis: not off the top of my head, now [12:28] ubottu: 10.04 | dn5 [12:28] dn5: Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. [12:28] rypervenche I know. I'm updating my system right now to 12.04 [12:29] ikonia: I got permission denied when I tried to write. anyway, just want to fill you in. it seems cifs-utils has a bug [12:29] it said: "flashplugin-installer is already the newest version" [12:29] dn5: it would likely be more straightforward to simply fresh install 12.04 [12:29] shimato507 remove the old version. [12:29] Nah .. [12:29] i have try this: sudo apt-get reinstall flashplugin-nonfree<-- is it posible? [12:30] no [12:30] use [12:30] sudo apt-get remove flashplugin-nonfree [12:30] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [12:30] sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [12:31] usr13, I'm upgrading my distro to 12.04 lts, do I have to close all apps? [12:32] Note, selecting 'flashplugin-installer' instead of 'flashplugin-nonfree' [12:32] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [12:33] Kartagis: apologies, I don't remember [12:33] dn5: Not really, but I wound't do anything that uses a lot of resources. [12:33] shimato507 I would advice you to use synaptic incase you are not familiar with command line or you are new to linux. [12:33] dn5: You shouldn't need to close apps, the upgrade should carry on in the background, although things will likely slow down & eventually, something may stop working [12:33] u had 2 flash players installed? [12:33] Thank you both; usr13 DJones [12:34] Please can someone throw there /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf up and pastebin [12:35] I hope so that this upgrade will repair my connection problem that I have to setup everytime I run my notebook [12:35] ikonia: no sweat [12:35] Captain_Proton http://paste.ubuntu.com/5807652/ [12:35] i am really new on linux, i'll try the synaptic option, thank you and apologize [12:36] Is it possible to create a deb package for Ubuntu 12.04 while on 13.04? Or do I have to do create the package on 12.04. I'm building a QT5 application and I need to port it to 12.04 when I developed it on 13.04, is this possible? Any help appreciated. [12:36] shomato507 You will get familiar with it in a mather of minutes. [12:37] jdu while I was on Windows I had to use remote machiens and set them up so I can compile on them. Not sure about linux thus I don't think that it matters. [12:37] jdu in a chroot maybe https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [12:38] MonkeyDust: Thanks! is there any more? I resaon I ask is that what I have in my lightdm.conf but when I try to log in it trys to start the desktop but kicks me back out the logon screen [12:38] Hi [12:38] Captain_Proton i had that too, it turned my HDD was 100% full after a failed file recovery [12:38] turned out* [12:39] guys i know im on the ubuntu channel, but what do you think about centos for the server? I love ubuntu for desktop, but heard cent is pretty good for a server. what do you think? [12:39] berryciderspider: ask in ##linux [12:39] Sorry, a silly question but isnt it possible to add a desktop shortcut in ubuntu 12.04. [12:39] Hello. Appearently my global language is set to German. Whee can I change this? :P [12:39] berryciderspider: Maybe ask in #ubuntu-offtopic or ##linux [12:40] usr13 Can you help me out with this. Window poped up "Debconf on localhost", I have to configure libc6.. [12:40] is the "rsync cups cron atd" right command? [12:40] Somebody help.. [12:40] for restarting GNU libc library [12:41] dylan__ system settings, language support [12:41] Actually chroot looks like it might be the best way to go, I am trying to build it inside of a vagrant of ubuntu 12.04 but the main problem is that there don't seem to be any qt5 packages in launchpad that I can install so I have to build QT5 from scratch on the vagrant box. [12:41] krq what environemnet? [12:41] gonme [12:41] gnome [12:41] can't you right clicl -> Create Launcher [12:41] ? [12:42] no. i cant find it in this version. [12:43] krq what is your ubuntu version? 12.04? [12:43] ya [12:43] MonkeyDust: the problem is that there is no German in there. It's only English [12:44] I ran lsb_version -a and it gave [12:44] No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise [12:44] krq http://www.vogella.com/articles/Ubuntu/article.html#unity_newentries [12:45] krq I had to add desktop launchers over desktop entries on kali linux; also gnome env [12:46] dn5: Not the launcher. I want shortcuts on desktop. [12:48] krq tell me the actual difference. anyway, try running the launcher creator from terminal: gnome-desktop-item-edit Desktop --create-new [12:49] dylan__ maybe you have to install language packs [12:49] Hi again everyone. I was hoping for help with getting an application to run. It's called 'Labyrinth Mind-mapping' and was working yesterday, but now when I try to run it I get an error message in the terminal, something to do with Python but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me? [12:50] Fanshawe what error do you get? [12:50] The line that seems to kill the application starting reads "xml.parsers.expat.ExpatError: unclosed token: line 1, column 4068" [12:51] Fanshawe: full error? [12:52] This is the entire output: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=FCpJJycH [12:52] I think it's up to try and except in python.. I'm not familiar with it, you should wait others reply [12:52] Fanshawe run the application in terminal and add |pastebinit at the end of it, then paste the ur here [12:52] url* === Mark_ is now known as x6d61726b [12:53] "apt-get command not found" i am searching for APT .deb in packages website but i am not able to get can some one help [12:54] Good morning. Can anyone tell me how to determine which packages I've added, versus those that were part of the initial install? [12:54] vnc786, can you clearify? [12:54] Fanshawe: just out of curiosity, the last time you ran it, did the program freeze up, or did you forcibly end the process? [12:55] saiarcot895: As I remember it, the application closed without problem. It's very confusing. [12:55] Fanshawe: from what I can tell, it's reading an XML file, but it's not properly formed [12:55] dn5: by mistake i have removed APT package due to that i am not able to install any thing [12:56] so i am looking for deb package so i can install it with dpkg package name === jinie is now known as jinie_ [12:57] vnc786: What exactly are you trying to do? [12:57] or trying to accomplish? === onder`_ is now known as onder` [12:57] saiarcot895: Thanks. Does this mean there's a broader problem with Python, or is there something specific to the application? [12:57] vnc786 - http://mirror1.atrpms.net/ccrma/software/installapt.html [12:57] Fanshawe: specific to the application [12:58] cornell in the installer on your usb stick, find "casper/filesystem.manifest" and compare it with the packages installed on your system [12:58] and why in the world would you do that :D [12:58] Fanshawe: if you don't mind, open up your Home folder, press Ctrl+H (to show hidden files), and look for a folder called .labyrinth (or something that seems to be relevant to the program) [12:59] Pici: on command line i am not getting apt-get which gives me command not found i am on ubuntu 12.04 64 bit and by ubuntu software center is also not available [12:59] Fanshawe, saiarcot895 could he just delete config and sotware will recreate one on startup [13:00] vnc786 check the link I've posted [13:00] dn5: that's what I'm thinking [13:00] dn5: Why would you provide instruction on how to install apt on redhat? [13:00] MonkeyDust: By "usb stick", I presume you mean the source of the installation, such as a usb stick or CD. Is that correct? [13:00] DId I? [13:00] Pici, one second please. [13:00] dn5: unfortunately, I don't know what folder it stores its config in [13:01] dn5: it gives rpm [13:01] vnc786 sorry wrong link [13:01] siarcot895, what is the name of the software he have a problem with? [13:01] dn5: labyrinth [13:01] vnc786: Download the proper architecture from http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/apt [13:01] dn5: available in the repos [13:01] #amarok [13:01] saiarcot895: I'm afraid I can't find any config files for Labyrinth. I've been to usr/lib/python/dist-packages/labyrinth, but I'm not sure if that's what we're looking for [13:02] cornell yes [13:02] Fanshawe: the config file will be within your home directory, not in /usr or /var [13:02] Cool! Thanks MonkeyDust [13:02] vnc786: link @ http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/a/apt/apt_0.8.16~exp12ubuntu10.10_amd64.deb [13:03] saiarcot895: home/.gconf/apps/labyrinth ! Think I have it! === maxx is now known as Guest69593 [13:04] Fanshawe: try deleting the labyrinth folder and reopening labyrinth [13:04] GOod job Fanshawe [13:04] saiarcot895 I know you would advice him that method :> [13:05] MonkeyDust: I've found it... looks like a list of packages, in the form: name version. If a package has been upgraded, and it's version has changed, its name would still be the same. So comparing on the name is exactly what I want, correct? [13:07] cornell wild idea: create a list of installed packages and compare the two lists, look for differences, in your list of installed packes, there should be more than in the manifest files [13:08] Pici: thanks brother i was searching for last couple of hour how did you got that link ? [13:08] vnc786: via packages.ubuntu.com [13:08] saiarcot895, dn5: I've got rid of the folder, but the terminal returns the same error without recreating the folder/XML file. Something odd's happened. Should I try storing the files in usr/lib/python/xml somewhere else and trying again? [13:10] Fanshawe: from the error, it seems it's trying to load the previously created mind maps, which isn't in the .gconf folder [13:11] Right, MonkeyDust. But if an original package, such as "apt 0.9.7.5ubuntu5" has been upgraded to, say, "apt 0.9.8.5ubuntu5", it won't match the manifest. But if I just take the part before the space, "apt", it would match. [13:11] Thank you, I'll root around and see if I can find where it stored old maps. [13:12] Fanshawe: dn5: it's storing the mind maps in xdg's BaseDirectory. As to where that is, I have no idea [13:14] cornell true, but maybe now you have an idea you can be creative with, it's the closest i get to an answer [13:16] Fanshawe: try .local/share/labyrinth [13:17] Yes, MonkeyDust, a great start! Thanks much. I'm going to load the manifest into a mysql table, with name, orig version, current version, os, initial (Y). Then dpkg -l to a file, and load same, initial (N). Then I can query my butt off ;-) [13:17] Thanks again. [13:17] Fanshawe: /.local/share/labyrinth [13:21] saiarcot895: There's a /.local/share/applications, and inside there is a desktop configuration file. There's also a bunch of related looking files in /.local/share/Trash/info. [13:21] Shall I remove and run again? [13:22] Fanshawe: Remove /.local/share/labyrinth and run [13:24] is it possible to have my cpu frequency set on powersave when i uplug my laptop? [13:24] hi [13:25] i am using empathy why doesnt it show username list [13:25] osirisx11, I think it's possible. please don't ask me how. [13:26] markshwe231: for what, email contact , IM [13:26] irc whoever [13:26] ost [13:26] i cant see any user , i went to a room , no idea if there was anybody in that room [13:26] not even /names [13:26] saiarcot895: Sorry, there is no .local/share/labyrinth folder. I could search my File System for folders called labyrinth and come back with the results [13:27] markshwe231: empathy is not an irc client , what are you talking about ? [13:27] whoever: it does have an irc component, its not very good. [13:27] Fanshawe: do you have a .local folder in your Home folder? [13:27] Pici: ah thx [13:27] whoever: i am on empathy right now . [13:28] saiarcot895: Yes, home/.local/ [13:28] markshwe231: i sugesst you try a standalone irc client , ie: chatx, irssi [13:28] Fanshawe: go into the share folder; do you see a labyrinth folder? [13:29] markshwe231: empathy itself has poor IRC support. I'm not sure we are going to be able to help you with it. [13:29] markshwe231: it's a plug in that may or may not work 100% once again I suggest you try a standallone irc client [13:30] ok Pici, i have one more issue and that's with pidgin. it refuses to launch , though i can see it in left 'strip' what do you call it ? dashboard? [13:30] saiarcot895: No labyrinth folders in there. [13:30] No folder named labyrinth, rather. [13:30] Pici: i don't think empathy has a channel [13:31] whoever: if they do, its likely on gimpnet. [13:32] Pici: oh, and makeing your entire user experience on plugins just seems to be a bad idea [13:33] Fanshawe: what about home/.gnome2/labyrinth? [13:33] saiarcot895: Yes! Those are .map files, I assume one of those is corrupt. I'll clear those out and run again. [13:35] clear [13:35] saiarcot895: That did the trick. The program now loads without problem. One of the maps I made must have prevented the program from starting up. Thank you! [13:35] Fanshawe: you're welcome [13:35] What was the solution? [13:35] Deleting config files? [13:38] dn5: yes, they were in the .gnome2 folder [13:38] dn5: well, in this case, the maps themselves [13:39] For troubleshooting network issues on an Ubuntu box that appear to be at the OS level, should I come here or #networking [13:39] ? [13:39] Good day everyone! [13:41] I recently set up an ubuntu server for filesharing and printersharing for a small home network. I did this simply by reading guides and asking for help. I'm interested in learning the very basics/essentials of how to deal with a ubuntu/linux system, what sites/guides would you guys reccomend for learning the linux essentials for a total linux-newbie? [13:45] Hello and welcome. I would recommend you Ubuntu wiki. [13:46] Ok, i'll check it out :) [13:46] beside wiki, there are many great articles and how to s on net [13:47] Yeah, ive made extensive use of them. I simply lack the knowledge of even the most basic terminal commands [13:47] anything you'd like to find out, just type in Google, or ask your question here [13:47] So you know, i feel sort of lost if i want to perform some basic tasks on my own that are outside the how tos [13:48] What i really like so far is the simple way of just apt-getting packages and cding to /etc/packagename for configuring === yano is now known as YANO [13:48] there are some articles about basic commands too [13:48] Vec_, knowledge comes with practice too, you will be there before you notice.. [13:48] !cli [13:48] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro [13:49] just type basic commands in Linux Ubuntu [13:49] Vec_, see the post above [13:49] Nice, the "usingtheterminal" link was exactly up my ally === Freeaqingme is now known as Guest82972 [13:54] Random question: When i logon my ubuntu server through terminal, am i currently in that users /home dir then? [13:54] yes [13:54] Vec_: By default yes. You can test this by typing "pwd" which will show you the current directory [13:54] does anyone know any good Geoip websites that will give me City and State or City and Province for countries outside the US? === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [13:54] Medjai: not really an ubuntu issue.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [13:55] Medjai: this isn't a general chat channel, try #defocus for random chat [13:57] is pwd a shortening for present working directory? [13:57] correct [13:57] cd current directory [13:57] it shows the current dir yes [13:57] alexxxa_: cd is change directory [13:57] alexxxa_: change directory [13:57] haha [13:57] alexxxa_: by default, cd takes you to ~ [13:57] alexxxa_: maybe a read on tldp would help [13:58] cd without path leads by default nowhere [13:58] Medjai, try infosniper.com [13:58] how would one create a dialup connection in Ubuntu ? [13:59] blazemore: Where is ~? [13:59] Vec_: /home/ [13:59] hm ok [13:59] chaospsychex, mostly using networkmanager [14:00] Vec_: It's just a shortcut. So you can use "~/Music" instead of /home/vec/Music [14:00] chaospsychex, although to be honest I have never tried, it could be that network manager can't do it [14:02] hi [14:03] Zortrag: suppah === nyuszika7h is now known as NYUSZIKA7H === NYUSZIKA7H is now known as nyuszika7h [14:09] blazemore: /home/$USER is more accurate :) [14:09] Hey, before lightdm starts, what is the component that is showing the 4 blinking dots on purple background (12.04 as reference) [14:09] BananaBob: plymouth [14:09] Alright ActionParsnip I haven't drunk enough tea today [14:09] ActionParsnip: $HOME is more accurate (think of root...)

I need some help with this. Is there a channel for data recovery, or can someone help me out in here? [14:11] hunt: try foremost on the raw device [14:12] back. [14:12] Now I'll have to learn this new interface [14:13] "sudo: dpkg: command not found" - am I going crazy? [14:13] blazemore: why are you trying to use dpkg directly [14:13] because I'm trying to install a deb... [14:13] I know what I'm doing [14:13] blazemore: clearly not [14:13] No, seriously, this is a brand new fresh install [14:13] ActionParsnip: so, should I run testdisk directly with the sd card? The ddrescue dump is at about 3GB from a total of 4GB, are you saying I should try to recover the partition table on the device and then run ddrescue again? [14:14] blazemore: seriously....shouldn't be using dpkg directly [14:14] Ohhhhh I know why! I wasn't ssh'd into my Ubuntu server, I was on my OpenSuse workstation [14:15] Nobody mention this again pls [14:15] ikonia is a idiot [14:15] That's a bit harsh; most people shouldn't use dpkg directly [14:16] Unless there's a specific reason like you need to --force-architecture === BadLarry is now known as BADLARRY [14:16] blazemore: lol it happens a lot to me too... can you set up ssh to change the terminal background or something?

Will that link still work [14:27] summit: You need to start by choosing a provider [14:27] summit: I think you are just going to cause problems though === Thor^^ is now known as Thor [14:27] Kitty_: You can install an iso in VMware just like on a real machine [14:28] summit: Firstly you choose a provider, then follow their instructions to set it up [14:28] blazemore, Thank you :) [14:28] blazemore: thanks mate [14:28] summit: What you're asking is the equivelant of taking a car into the garage to get an oil change, but you don't actually have a car :) [14:29] blazemore: hehe! i understand, my friends recommended using it while we played on the private server, apparently alot of losers out there that have gotten them into skype and DDoS'd them and such, i just wanna play a game without issues, but i also don't add random people. [14:29] summit: a vpn is not the way to do that [14:30] anyone can help me resolve this issue? [14:30] dn5: What issue? [14:30] dn5: what issue [14:33] Hello friends. I'm having some difficulty manually partitioning my install without it going into a boot loop once install is complete. UEFI is disabled in the BIOS. Here is my partitioning menu - http://i.imgur.com/h7XG7I1.png - which according to Ubuntu Grub GPT documentation, is correct. Even still, it goes into a boot loop upon completion. Did I miss something? [14:34] roasted: I believe you need a /boot partition although I may be mistaken [14:34] blazemore: I set the EXT4 / partition to have the boot flag on last night's install, but it too failed. [14:34] got a dir that I can't see with dir or ls. I do see it in nautilus tho. what's the deal with that? [14:34] blazemore: also, that partitioning was pre-install. I think Ubuntu auto adds the boot flag. [14:35] roasted: are you sure the 1MB bios_grub partition is big enough? [14:35] a /boot partition would help a lot [14:35] roasted: Try using a /boot partition of around 1GiB formatted to ext2 [14:35] 1GB?? [14:35] 300mb [14:35] Anyone here use ipmitool at all? [14:35] inb4 1GiB is overkill; he has a terrabyte drive he can afford [14:35] damn [14:35] roasted: is that elementary OS? [14:35] llutz: it's what the Ubuntu documentation said. [14:35] ActionParsnip: Ubuntu GNOME 13.04 [14:35] ddssc: out of curiosity, what's the dir? [14:36] roasted: looks weird [14:36] there is no need for a sep /boot for grub-gpt [14:36] ActionParsnip: if by weird, you mean awesome, yes. :P [14:36] roasted: all silvery and that..in an official flavour.... [14:36] saiarcot895: .idea, it's jetbrains project dir.. [14:36] llutz: from the Ubuntu GPT Grub2 documentation -If the BIOS is setup to boot the disk in Legacy/mbr mode, installing GRUB2 on a GPT (GUID Partition Table) disk requires a dedicated BIOS boot partition with a recommended size of at least 1 MiB. This partition can be created via GParted or other partitioning tools, or via the command line. It must be identified with a bios_grub flag. The necessary GPT modules are automatically included during [14:36] installation when GRUB 2 detects a GPT scheme. [14:36] what version of ubuntu is it ? [14:36] as different versions of ubuntu handle it different [14:37] roasted: which version is it ? [14:37] 13.04 [14:37] guys i've noticed the backspace key doesn't work anymore in nautilus! a little help here pls? [14:37] am trying to copy some files of about 1gb into my flash and it is saying 8hours on ubuntu 12.04 [14:37] chunkyhead: does it work in gedit? [14:37] roasted: ok, so that should be able to deal with a current gpt layout [14:37] roasted: ok, using grub-gpt with a similar partitioning scheme here, just the bios_grub has 250MB (was an EFI-part before) [14:37] ddssc: oh, ls requires -a [14:37] chunkyhead: Alt + Let Arrow [14:38] llutz: are you using legacy bios with a GPT table? [14:38] roasted: atm yes [14:38] llutz: 13.04? no issues manually installing? [14:38] roasted: nope, debian sid [14:38] ActionParsnip, lol it does. 13.04 nautilus has removed the feature. thanks fossterer ! [14:38] llutz: is there any way I could trouble you for a screenshot of gparted? [14:38] ddssc: so .dirs are hidden i presume [14:38] chunkyhead: np [14:38] ddssc: yes [14:38] llutz: I've done at least 20 installs convinced I'm making a mistake, but I can't figure it out. [14:39] ddssc: hence: ~/.mozilla holding the config for mozilla products, is a folder [14:39] roasted: https://gist.github.com/llutz/5885185 === tecnica is now known as tonussi [14:41] llutz: yeah I have no idea why mine isn't working. [14:41] roasted: does grub actually come up ? [14:41] ikonia: no [14:42] ikonia: it's very strange. The system fires up, I see the lenovo screen, and it shuts off... [14:42] roasted: ok so your problem is before ubuntu [14:42] ikonia: then it fires up again, tries to boot, nothing, tries to network boot, nothing, and says no operating system found. [14:42] roasted: it's baically where your bios is looking to boot doesn't exist/work [14:42] roasted: sudo grub-install /dev/sda && sudo update-grub [14:42] llutz: been there. I also tried that boot-repair utility. [14:42] ikonia: if I install to MBR, it works. I'm just not sure why GPT isn't [14:43] roasted: ok, that explains a lot [14:43] ikonia: oh? [14:43] roasted: where are you putting the boot record when it fails ? [14:43] ikonia: I was putting boot onto /, which was the 3rd partition in http://i.imgur.com/h7XG7I1.png [14:43] it baffles me how linux manages to make basic stuff like listing files and removing non-empty complicated... [14:43] roasted: no the boot record [14:44] roasted: if you put the boot record on the mbr...it works, where do you put it when it doens't work [14:44] ikonia: I'm not sure I follow... [14:44] roasted: you said "when I put grub on the mbr it works" [14:44] ikonia: grub is on /... and bios_boot is flagged on the first partition [14:44] roasted: where are you putting it when it doesn't work [14:44] roasted: no - grub is not on / [14:44] ikonia: I meant when I partition table the entire SSD to MBR, and install in the exact same fashion, it works fine. [14:44] roasted: or shouldn't be on / otherwise how do you expect it to boot ? [14:44] ddssc: really? rm -r to remove folders, ls to show files, ls -a to show all files (including hidden) [14:45] roasted: ok, so what is your current boot sector ? [14:45] ikonia: I'm... not sure? Is this something I would see on gparted? [14:45] no [14:45] ikonia: then I'm afraid I'm not entirely on the same page :( [14:45] roasted: no matter what partition table format you are using, there must be a boot sector on the disk [14:45] I have a computer that's unable to access the outside world (sort of). Is there any ubuntu configuration I should look at ? The return from ping google.com is [14:46] PING google.com (173.194.46.69) ... [then hang] [14:46] roasted: so normally its the windows boot loader, or grub, and it's on the first few sectors of the disk to boot [14:46] roasted: so, you must have "something" there for it to boot [14:46] So, it gets an IP address, but can't get any data going. [14:46] roasted: ot it's just going to find nothing and go in a loop [14:46] ikonia: any time I manually partition, I just set swap, root, home, and install. The only thing I'm doing different this time is the 1 MiB partition flagged for bios_grub as per Ubuntu documentation. [14:47] roasted: ok, so you still need a boot sector [14:47] @search bill hicks [14:47] leroides: stop [14:47] lmat: do you have any iptables rules running? [14:47] roasted: eg: when you install grub, it puts all the files into /boot - however the boot sector is put on the start of the disk [14:47] ikonia: don't hit me... but would that be just setting up a dedicated boot partition? [14:47] roasted: no, as there is nothing where to boot [14:47] roasted: you need to have something "before" the partition to actually start the boot process [14:47] PashaPasta: iptables -L doesn't list anything [14:48] hey [14:48] what's the default rule on iptables? [14:48] ikonia: I see. [14:48] I mean... it says chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)\ntarget prot opt source destination [14:48] ikonia: I'm understanding and following you, I'm just not drawing up an idea as ot what exact I do to fix this. [14:48] saiarcot895: nothing is complicated when you know it. linux just has too much stuff I cba to learn properly.. and sometimes listing 20 pages of docu with --help will just make me pres ctrl+c. spoiled by gui I guess.. [14:48] roasted: as I'm reading, it sounds like you've created a bios partition, but there is on boot sector on there [14:48] PashaPasta: And it says the some for FORWARD and OUTPUT [14:48] PashaPasta: let me see.. [14:48] ok [14:48] roasted: so when you boot - it scans the disk, doesn't find a boot sector, so can't boot, loop/repeat [14:48] ikonia: I was under the impression that the bios_grub flagged partition was all I needed beyond a regular swap/root/home. [14:49] ikonia: which has lead to my confusion now. [14:49] roasted: it's not about flagging a partition [14:49] roasted: it's the boot sector of the disk - forget "partition" [14:49] PashaPasta: How do I check the default rule ? [14:49] roasted: you still need something at the start of the disk to boot [14:49] roasted: when you install the bootloader (grub) you need to install it to the disk (eg: sda) not a partition (eg sda1) [14:50] auronandace: I... thought I did. [14:50] roasted: that is the default setting usually [14:50] ikonia: what "something" do I need? I never did anything else different on other systems that worked, so I'm feeling a little blind right now with what to do. [14:51] sudo iptables -P INPUT ACCEPT and so forth [14:51] roasted: when you installed, where did you tell it to install the grub [14:51] ikonia: I thought /dev/sda wsa selected by default. I didn't change it. [14:51] roasted: worth checking [14:52] ikonia: can I check this from a Live session, or must I reinstall and make sure when I get to that setting its correct? [14:52] roasted: just re-install grub [14:52] I think I would have noticed if it was on a partition, though. I've repaired grub many times and the guide I have bookmarked says in bold letters do not install to /dev/sdX1, just to /dev/sdX... [14:52] roasted: is this a uefi system? [14:52] ikonia: I did that last night and it failed. :( I'll boot to another live instance and give it a shot. [14:53] is there an ls command that can highlight (colorized) the size of files? so that every 3 digits would be a slightly different color shade. [14:53] hey, anyone know anything about the chinese gov's version of ubuntu? [14:54] auronandace: I hav eBIOS set to legacy [14:54] !uefi | roasted [14:54] roasted: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [14:54] yes, I'm aware, and it's disabled. :) [14:54] PashaPasta: it says "Chain INPUT (policy ACCEPT)" Does that answer your question? [14:54] savagecroc it's called Kylin or so [14:54] yeah [14:55] MonkeyDust: yeah, is there any specifics though? [14:55] i.e. are they rolling out as part of government systems.. any additional stuff like encryption etc [14:55] lmat: tried a packet capture on the interface to see if anything is passing traffic? [14:55] savagecroc start here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UbuntuKylin [14:55] PashaPasta: nope. Any recommended tools ? (no gui, please) [14:55] tcpdump [14:56] PashaPasta: Thanks, brb. [14:56] run tcpdump -i -o [14:57] ikonia: I just reinstalled grub via this guide - http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/how-to-recover-grub2-linux.html - with /dev/sda3 for step B, and /dev/sda for step C. My partitions are laid out like this - http://i.imgur.com/h7XG7I1.png - still boot loop.... [14:57] more webupd8.... [14:57] why do people not follow OFFICIAL ubuntu documentation [14:57] ruh roh :( [14:57] is that guide incorrect? [14:58] not read it, but I just don't see why people keep pulling these 3rd party guides [14:58] PashaPasta: I don't see a -o option... [14:58] hello guys , I'm using right now Ubuntu 13.04 64bit , it's great but i notice there is a slow in performance not like ubuntu 12.04 , how can i make it fast !? my pc spec : i3-2100 + intel 3000 hd + 10 gb ram + 256gb ssd [14:58] then just pipe it into a file to easier reading [14:59] roasted: this will sound stupid but can you pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" please, I'm expecting an error about the partition table format [14:59] lmat: or just pipe it to less [14:59] ikonia: yes, because it's GPT. [14:59] fdisk doesn't handle gpt [14:59] good, [15:00] that's what I hoped, just checking [15:00] :) [15:00] there really should be a common script to pipe command output to a pastebin entry [15:00] dhci: there is, it's called pastbinit [15:00] !pastebinit | dhci [15:00] dhci: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com [15:00] roasted: so again, it doesn't sound like it's hitting your boot sector on the disk [15:01] I found 2 things worth checking into on Ubuntu's documentation. The only way it differs is webupd8 says --root-directory but ubuntu's says --boot-directory. Wonder if that's all it is. [15:01] kelly a few tricks I picked up in this same channel http://paste.ubuntu.com/5808048/ === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs [15:01] PashaPasta: okay, that didn't go so well :) (I didn't pipe to file, so it took control of the console per force) [15:02] heh [15:02] lots of traffic then? [15:02] kelly: change wm [15:02] thank you I'll try it , is intel 3000 hd for unity [15:02] so, a couple seconds reveals 6612 packets captured... [15:02] PashaPasta: yes! [15:02] PashaPasta: And we're on a very small network ! [15:02] is it good [15:03] lmat: can you traceroute out? [15:03] ikonia: I think I goofed with that documentation from webupd8, as you predicted. [15:03] PashaPasta: just a sec [15:03] ikonia: --root-directory is for grub 1.98 and earlier.... [15:03] a la webupd8's guide [15:04] Hi guys. Installed Vagrant via Software Center on my Ubuntu 12.10, and when trying to do "vagrant up", I get the following error: https://gist.github.com/novito/5885347 [15:04] ikonia: unfortunately, it still failed via ubuntu's official documentation. :/ [15:04] PashaPasta: traceroute6 google.com returns [15:04] reisio: i love unity :) , is nvidia 440 GT good Friend of mine give it to me [15:04] PashaPasta: connect: Network is unreachable === JONATHAND is now known as JonathanD [15:05] ok, try traceroute 8.8.8.8 [15:05] roasted: the question is where/what it's trying to boot [15:05] kelly: well compiz is the prime suspect if it seems sluggish [15:05] kelly: and/or your graphics driver/hardware [15:05] PashaPasta: traceroute6 8.8.8.8 returns traceroute: unknown host 8.8.8.8 [15:05] nix the ipv6 and use ipv4 traceroute [15:06] PashaPasta: Odd, I don't have it? [15:06] funky [15:06] ikonia: I'm just at a loss for what exactly I need to do to fix this. What's more troubling to me is even if I do fix it, how do I lay out my disk/partitions/flags/whatever on a 100% fresh install to install it properly and successfully the next time. [15:06] PashaPasta: trace{tab}{tab} gives tracepath tracepath6 traceroute6 traceroute6.iputils [15:06] roasted: you've got other gpt machines working ok ? [15:07] lmat,, just run traceroute without the 6 === xHkcNZs1 is now known as kabelo [15:07] BluesKaj: "The program 'traceroute' can be found in the following packages:...Ask your administrator to install one of them" [15:07] how do I list users in a group?

[15:08] ddssc: doh! useless use of cat... grep groupname /etc/group [15:08] lmat: cap grep :/ [15:08] ddssc: getent group [15:08] roasted: same sort of machines though.... [15:08] reisio: is there an easy way to share printer and files between ubuntu and windows ? [15:08] lmat: thanks [15:08] rypervenche: What does cap grep mean? [15:08] isn't that get report [15:08] kelly: frequently, yes [15:09] ikonia: the only other thing ist he BIOS is dated 2011. I tried to update it last night, but it wouldn't boot to my external CD ROM drive. It does not have an optical drive built in. [15:09] ikonia: the BIOS update comes in ISO or EXE, hence my comment about CD ROM'ing it. [15:09] reisio: Could you tell me plz How can i share ? [15:09] roasted: I know the lenovo's quite well [15:09] lmat: global regular expression print [15:09] lmat: typo, I meant that you cat-grepped, but you realized just afterward. ): [15:09] :)* [15:09] kelly: you want to share a printer between two separate boxes, one GNU/Linux, one Windows, over the network? [15:10] kelly what are you tring to share [15:10] ikonia: Lenovo has been quite problematic with us unfortunately. Part of me was getting to the point of ditching this but I really don't see how this particular scenario isn't solvable. I'm feeling that it's user error all the way, unlike some of our other woes where we couldn't swap wireless cards due to everything but the chip it came with being blacklisted, etc. [15:10] lmat, iputils-tracepath ? [15:10] the printer connected to the windows and i want to access to the printer from ubuntu [15:10] irreverant: thanks, but I was aware :) [15:11] i want to share files also between both of the computers [15:11] roasted: I couldn't have a more positive view with lenovo, but I'm sure the model matter, I'm just reading the ubuntu efi doc now [15:11] roasted: stupid question, this is ubuntu 64bit ? [15:11] ikonia: yes [15:11] BluesKaj: PashaPasta: tracepath google.com returns 1: [my ip address]\n1: no reply\n2: no reply etc [15:11] ikonia: all I've used for years. [15:11] just checking [15:11] :) [15:12] ikonia: the BIOS installed is dated 2011. There was a BIOS update on the Lenovo site as recent as March 2013. [15:12] rypervenche: I was going to just give him cat /etc/group and tell him to filter the results, then I decided it was so easy, I would add the grep ^_^ [15:13] PashaPasta: So it looks like the 120 device is going a bit bonkers? [15:13] kelly go to #samba [15:13] roasted: could you just check yourself against this doc https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [15:13] PashaPasta: Or... it's a backup server, perhaps it's doing a backup now. [15:15] ikonia: in particular were you curious about the boot repair utility? So far everything else on there sounds familiar. [15:15] roasted: just in general, I've used that doc before, so just wanted you to walk through it against what you've done and see if anything stands out [15:16] roasted: the efi partition of 100mb not 1mb seems worth a look [15:16] but just a general "yes, matches up" check [15:16] ikonia: but is the EFI partition @ 100 MB relevant for Legacy mode, or UEFI mode? [15:16] ikonia: I've used a 100 MB EFI partition when I tried installing via UEFI mode with 0 success. [15:16] roasted: sorry if I've missed a bit, are you putting in efi or legacy mode [15:16] roasted: for UEFI only, because it has to hold the efi-files. [15:16] ikonia: but I don't think I've used 100 MB EFI partition with Legacy... [15:17] ikonia: I'm trying legacy with GPT table, but I'll use whatever if itw orks - however I'd prefer to not use MBR. [15:17] roasted: sorry I missed the part in legacy mode [15:17] roasted: ok, can you check against this one please https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallUbuntu11.10OnLenovoEFI/GPT/WLAN/Power/BIOS [15:17] ikonia: recent trials have been done with lgacy because I figured it'd be the easier mountain to overcome. [15:18] roasted: (ignore the lan stuff) [15:18] ikonia: that introduction to the most recent link sure catches my eye. [15:18] "Lenovo's EFI implimentation seems not to be perfect on some newer Lenovo notebooks." [15:18] color me surprised. [15:18] kelly: to share go to samba channel [15:18] roasted: just given you the wrong doc, sorry [15:18] hang on [15:18] oh, it's not relevant? [15:18] roasted: well, it's not "bad" [15:19] roasted: but it's not the detailed guide I thought I had book marked [15:19] I thought "Lenovo's EFI implimentation seems not to be perfect on some newer Lenovo notebooks." sounded like a good culprit. :P [15:19] thank you === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [15:19] well, if they're using EFI at all, they don't have free Unix OSes in mind [15:19] which is no surprise, really [15:19] but we digress [15:19] you have a problem and not a solution [15:19] reisio: Lenovo and Linux has turned out to be quite a bummer when dealing with them on the enterprise level.

[15:21] shinao1: check friendly.ubuntu.com [15:21] reisio: I'd welcome that so much. With Android sticks and R-Pi's packing what power they do in a small form factor, it'd be fantastic to have a universal slot loader for different pre-bundled form fitted chips which packs the CPU, GPU, memory, etc. [15:21] Thanks ikonia [15:21] ikonia: that wa sthe guide I used to reinstall grub2 after the webupd8 conversation a little bit ago [15:21] this is WPS 's Internationl wiki page [15:21] and you can get the lastest WPS here http://wps-community.org/ [15:22] roasted: it all points to not hitting a valid boot sector....why is a different issue. [15:22] roasted: it's coming; soldered-together ultrabooks are not long for this world [15:22] and if you don't need an ultrabook you can do it now [15:23] reisio: mind if I PM you?

[16:55] sin__: oh okay [16:55] sin__: well you can make your own theme in like a work day [16:55] sin__: use apt-file to find the package that has 'xcursorgen' [16:55] or 'type xcursorgen', you might have it already [16:55] aringan: Also, port 22 is most commonly used by ssh, it would be weird to have your ftpd running on that port. [16:55] so what should I do ? [16:56] hola necesito ayuda [16:56] !es | juanpablo [16:56] juanpablo: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés.

That was going to be my next project if I couldn't find a theme I like. [16:56] reisio: I'll try that out. [16:56] aringan: Are you using ssh on that machine at all? [16:56] sin__: I'm not sure I've seen one of the sort you described, not that I ever looked for one like that [16:56] yes [16:57] aringan: What program is this config file for?

Is that a problem? [16:59] khorchani: hi [17:00] aringan: I'm just confused as you're saying that you don't want it running on port 22 but by default it shouldn't be running on that. [17:00] I believe it is listening to 21 , but i want to change it ! [17:00] why / [17:00] what's wrong with listening on the correct port [17:00] I just don't know how to change it [17:01] aringan: not to port 22? to another port? [17:01] yes [17:01] like 2901 [17:02] aringan: you'd need to change the listen_port option in that file. If it doesn't exist, add it.

[19:14] ubuntu 12.04 32 bit system . i am sometimes able to watch youtube videos but sometines not [19:14] Ari-Yang -> my source is http://askubuntu.com/questions/233380/how-do-i-downgrade-kernel-on-12-10 [19:14] i though it is a flash problem but i can watch the videos in other sites . is this a youtube ip problem or something like that [19:15] bekks/iBelieve: Is the code-completion in either gedit or geany smart enough to list out all functions/objects/etc.. from all the modules ? [19:16] I've worked with Java/Eclipse previously and eclipse seems to do that. It actually allows me to browse thru definitions of each library method/class. [19:17] how export highlight from okular for file.txt? [19:18] when i try to apt-get update i get this error http://paste.ubuntu.com/5808746/ [19:18] how do i move /var to it's own partition after-install. A user's root (/) partition is filling up because of /var. [19:18] Mostly /var/cache [19:19] prahlad, if you've used Eclipse, I think there is a Python plugin, and that would probably have good completion. [19:19] schultza: http://www.google.com/search?q=new%20partitions%20after%20the%20fact [19:19] mamed, Not really enough details, like the browser used for example for one. [19:20] Is this correct for setting up bridge network for KVM based virtual machine? Host is a remote server running 12.04 LTS with single public ip address http://pastebin.com/bHbXhAXw [19:20] hmm firefox and chornomium firefox is 21 . but i can watch videos in epiphany [19:20] #kvm [19:20] iBelieve: I know about the pyDev plugin, but I'm trying to find something lightweight like geany or something. Eclipse is an overkill for what I want.. [19:20] i think the problem is youtube ip or dns servers . [19:20] mamed, FF has updated to 22 in the repos [19:21] hmm [19:21] do you think will it solve my problem [19:21] since i made a fresh insrtallation of ubuntu 12.04 i face this problem and no solution yet [19:21] McDeffice, did it work? [19:21] mamed, No idea, but being updated is a good idea, you description is missing details. [19:22] your* [19:22] wilee-nilee, wht ca you give more [19:22] prahlad: All of the cool kids use vim :) [19:22] can I* [19:22] ok i will update fire [19:22] prahlad: Why dont you just use eclipse again? :) [19:22] Ari-Yang -> yes, i'am on 3.8.0-26-generic, whatis the laslest (current) version? [19:23] mamed, What flash you have and being updated would help, an unusual problem to some extent so it is a look for the varibles and knock them off to get to an answer. [19:23] rypervenche: This is 2013 and the word "vim" sounds a bit rustic.!! [19:23] bekks: will give it a try then.. [19:23] hey everyone! [19:24] McDeffice, https://www.kernel.org/ [19:24] current latest stable is 3.9.8 [19:24] it's in the ppa link I linked you earlier McDeffice, so you can just get the necessary .deb files from it. [19:24] or you can compile yourself *shrugs* === qos is now known as qos|away === qos|away is now known as qos [19:26] does anyone have experience with ubuntu using the asus 1215n? [19:26] shin_doctor, just ask your question. [19:26] (afk) [19:26] mamed, just run sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get fully updated. [19:27] i am justing updating the firefox also i have a kernel update but i dont want it now [19:27] cause i have to restart sytem bla [19:27] shin_doctor, The channel works with you stating the actual problem.

Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks!

[19:28] mamed, If you are not going to be updated your just wasting our time here. [19:28] wilee-nilee, so it was a firefox problem [19:28] thank you so much === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [19:29] also i realised something when firefox has a new version the old version starts to consume so much memory [19:30] stasutsta, That is off topic go to #ubuntu-offtopic [19:30] hehe no content again [19:31] * mamed still thinks youtube problem is about ubuntu 12.04 [19:32] what youtube problem? === Gameid is now known as meh76 [19:34] This has nothing to do with ubuntu today but the close future. I was trying to find out why ubuntu is switching to mir and what the advantages are but all i can seem to find on line is that mir is a collection of libs that has no server by default, and that the desktop enviroment would host the mir server, or something like that. [19:34] i am glad and looking forward see mir [19:35] also it would be great if ubuntu would develop its own Desktop enviroment in Qt [19:35] In case anyone is interested, I have documented my sound problem here http://askubuntu.com/questions/314043/how-to-get-sound-on-macbook-pro-4-1 with all the results from commands and the soundtroubleshooting page [19:35] rawrmonster, Not within channel support, that info is on the web though to some extent. [19:35] yes i have sound problem also pid f [19:35] is there a tool to show one text file page at a time? (pages separated by ^L, like ietf RFCs are) [19:35] icannot use my high definition [19:36] wilee-nilee: i would not have asked here if i did not look it up. I have gone through 18 pages of google and still have not found my answer [19:36] rawrmonster, Right, still not a part of support is all. ;) [19:36] I have problems in ubuntu install. "failed to create ext4 filesystem". same problem on 5 brand new computers. tried ubuntu desktop 12.10 64bit and 13.04 64bit. motherboard is gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H. tried at bios to configure SATA as IDE and as AHCI. nothing solved. any hints? [19:37] pzn, You familiar with the partition amount limitations ? [19:37] wilee-nilee: is there a mir channel? or does ubuntu have an off topic channel? [19:38] there is #ubuntu-offtopic [19:38] rawrmonster, #ubuntu-offtopic is there, not sure about a mir channel. [19:38] wilee-nilee, just a single 250GB HD. just 2 partitions. 50GB ext4 and 2GB swap. [19:38] pzn, If you are on it can you run sudo fdisk -l and pastebin the text. [19:39] wilee-nilee, the problem is not about creating the partition. the problem is when ubuntu install is doing "mkfs ext4" [19:40] pzn, Ah, I just use gparted so can't really help there. [19:40] wilee-nilee, for some weird reason, both ubuntu versions fail at the same install part. when they are creating the ext4 filesystem [19:41] pzn, Post your code though someone may see an error [19:41] post the whole process really in a pastenbin [19:41] Ari-Yang -> i from here 3.9.0 (not 3.9.8) : http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-raring/i think is the official kernel for my raring === whoever is now known as Guest89626 [19:43] i have 3 IP's 192.168.56.1, 192.168.56.101 and 192.168.56.102 , I want my packet of IP-192.168.56.1 should reach to the IP-192.168.56.102 via IP-192.168.56.101 is it possible from add route command?. [19:44] bipul: what ? [19:44] wilee-nilee, put ubuntu USB stick (12.10 or 13.04), go to install process clicking next. on hard drives select the first option (erase and install ubuntu without prompting user for partitions or sizes). then after 1~2 minutes it fails with message "the ext4 file system creation in partition #1 (sda) failed" [19:44] bipul: can you try to explain that again please, [19:44] McDeffice, I don't know what Raring's current kernel is.... and I don't think it's in that ppa [19:44] ubottu - ping.

[19:45] And the 3 IP's 192.168.56.1, 192.168.56.101 and 192.168.56.102 , I want my packet of IP-192.168.56.1 should reach to the IP-192.168.56.102 via IP-192.168.56.101 is it possible from add route command?.

Version 3.8.0.25.43 (raring), package size 1 kB, installed size 33 kB [19:45] bipul: you need to use a router (such as ip tables) not add a route [19:45] Something like that mine packet should go from A to C via B. [19:45] pzn, Are these computers with W8? [19:46] or a uefi setup? [19:46] ikonia, are you sure add route will not work. [19:46] bipul: how many virtual machines do you have ? [19:46] wilee-nilee, brand new computers, brand new HDs. they didn't came with W8 [19:46] as I understand it, 3 [19:46] McDeffice, I'm not 100%, but maybe current latest Raring kernel is 3.8.0.25.43 ? [19:46] that's what the bot says [19:46] that is the current stable kernel, yes [19:46] 2 virtual machine and 1 host using Host-only vboxnet0 [19:46] wilee-nilee, what is a UEFI setup? sorry for being newbie [19:47] McDeffice, there you have it, 3.8.0.25.43 is the latest for Raring [19:47] !UFO | pz [19:47] pzn, Cool, best support fro uefi is at the UF with this poster, here is a link to a help on this, start a thread if needed. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [19:47] bipul: ok, so the host has one IP on vboxnet0 and then you have 2 virtual machines with their virtual nic's assigned to vboxnet0 too [19:47] bipul: is that correct ? [19:47] Ok thanks Ari-Yang and ikonia [19:47] ikonia, yes [19:47] !uefi > pzn here is a wiki as well. [19:47] bipul: so where to you want traffic to go to/from [19:48] Host is having IP-192.168.56.1 and other two virtual machine IP's are 192.168.56.101/102 [19:48] !uefi > pzn [19:48] pzn, please see my private message [19:48] bipul: ok, so where/what do you want to happen with the traffic [19:48] bipul: Then change the IP of one of your vms. [19:48] From host 192.168.56.1 to 192.168.56.102 via 192.168.56.101 [19:48] pzn, Personally I would have the W8 backed up as well. [19:49] bipul: I'm sorry that is totally foolish [19:49] bipul: you will need to setup routing for that to happen, === qos is now known as qos|away [19:50] Yes that's what i am looking for, routing the packets in short i have to make 192.168.56.101 as a router [19:50] bipul: no, you'll need to make the host route everything to 101 - then you'll need to make 101 route anything for 102 to the 102 machine [19:51] ikonia, ok so how it will happen. [19:51] bipul: exactly how I've just said [19:51] can you please repeat it [19:52] bipul: no, you'll need to make the host route everything to 101 - then you'll need to make 101 route anything for 102 to the 102 machine [19:52] bipul: although I will also say again, this is a waste of time and pointless routing setup [19:52] I can see no reason to do this [19:52] you may as well put the 102 device on a seperate network [19:52] the whole point of putting them on the same network is so they can talk to each other without routing [19:53] What's the best free first person shooter?

[20:15] wlan222: Probably you didn't follow the recommendation of !compile to copy your existing kernel config and then modify that [20:16] ( because it IS default selection there) [20:16] genii: I did but i guess something went wrong... :D [20:18] wlan222: Another possibility is that you didn't do: make modules [20:19] genii: fixed it [20:19] genii: Thats what i like about Linux You can recompile the Kernel and fix such stuff on runtime [20:20] wlan222: If you don't like rebooting perhaps check out ksplice sometime.

[21:26] i did ctrl + c, typed w and pressed enter, then quit and it worked. [21:26] litepool, this is a support channel for ubuntu btw [21:26] yes i'm sing ubuntu [21:26] Ari-Yang: I was not looking for HOW to forward ports; I was trying to check my ports on my Ubuntu system. [21:26] using [21:27] litepool, yeah but you aren't asking /for support for/ ubuntu [21:27] see my point? [21:27] Hey, hello everybody! [21:27] well if i look at it that way, a lot of things arn't related to ubuntu but related to it [21:27] JoshuaP, I know, was hoping that command would link you to checking ports.... I'm sure it's simple, google it [21:27] whatever thouhg, where else am i supposed to ask [21:28] litepool, you could google, and there might be a #vim or #vi channel [21:28] Well I guess I have to because noone will help me here :p [21:28] first thing I do before asking, is google myself, 95% of the time I find my answers after googling [21:28] i gogoled [21:28] anywya [21:29] Hey, someone here can help me with my internet connection, btw. i already googled a lot ;) [21:29] hi [21:29] lj1102: people will help if you actually give detail rather than asking people who know nothing about your problem if they can help [21:30] how can i determine what permissions newly created files and dirs of users will have? [21:30] starbuck: they will have the permissions of the persona / group creating them [21:30] starbuck: the directories mask sets the file creation ask [21:30] starbuck: "umask" [21:31] Ari-Yang: for future reference (from google), it's $netstat -ntl :p === |-|offman is now known as Hoffman [21:31] I've a problem regarding DNS resolving, actually after a while some domains wont resolve anymore. Using a virtual machine from within my ubuntu system everything works fine. [21:31] I'm getting timeouts for hosts that are pingable === Hoffman is now known as |-|offman [21:32] lj1102: what dns servers are you using [21:32] how can i check that? [21:32] lj1102: I thought you said you'd done a a lot of googling [21:32] lj1102: checking the dns servers you are using if your dns is failing seems to be step 1 [21:32] ikonia: where is the config for that? i want every file created by a user to be rwx only for the user, rx for th eusergroup and nothing for others [21:33] starbuck: it's in the users shell, check umask as instructed, "man umask" [21:34] actually in my resolv.conf 127.0.1.1 is the only nameserver inside there [21:35] lj1102: that's because ubuntu doesn't use resolv.conf as it uses a dnsmasq setup === root is now known as Guest42364 [21:40] wissam_: if you can use something other then sed... i use this for underscore to space "for i in *; do mv "$i" "`echo $i | tr '_' ' '`"; done" [21:42] mhh, i've never configured dnsmasq, the config(dhclient.conf) is untouched [21:42] Anyone knows how can I run a tool which is in /home/tools/ directory from terminal without locating that path; just as I can run 'irssi' with irssi command [21:43] dn5: add /home/tools/ to your $PATH [21:43] dh5: put a symlink into your bin directory [21:43] how can I do that llutz? [21:44] dn5: like "export PATH=$PATH:/home/tools/ " in your ~/.bashrc [21:44] im back [21:44] let me try llutz [21:45] what would /dev/ttyS0 be [21:45] dn5: why aren't you using ubuntu's version of irssi... would be my question... [21:45] and /dev/ttyS1 [21:45] it's not about irssi, it's about other tools I have to use [21:45] Prock81: serial ports [21:45] how could i tell if they relate to my gps hardware [21:45] hi, can anyone tell me how to install my: [21:45] Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY (rev 01) [21:46] in 12.04? [21:46] !broadcom | slimjimflim [21:46] slimjimflim: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx [21:46] cause they show under some gps interface i have [21:46] Broadcom needs to die. [21:46] ikonia: i've been through that guide already [21:47] genii: ikr [21:47] slimjimflim: ok, so what's the issue, where is it failing [21:47] r owes me $50, tell him if you see him [21:47] ikonia: i install the stuff, do the blacklists, reboot and/or modprobe but i never get a wlan0 [21:47] how can i tell what hte serial port to my gps is? [21:47] slimjimflim: do the modules load ? [21:47] also, i have 13 min before i lose wired access [21:47] ikonia: yes [21:47] llutz i don't even have .bashrc === MyUbuntuBlog is now known as everydaylinuxuse [21:48] slimjimflim: so what network interface devies do you have ? [21:48] Prock81: you might check "dmesg" [21:48] lo and eth0 [21:48] dn5: you should have, by default [21:48] slimjimflim: so that suggests either a.) the mouldes have not loaded b.) or they are not compatible with your card [21:49] ikonia: right, so i googled more and found this: [21:49] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BroadcomSTA%28Wireless%29 [21:49] which didn't work either [21:49] I know [21:49] but.. [21:49] slimjimflim: I suggest working out which one of my statements is true [21:49] llutz: if dn5 used useradd, instead of adduser - then .bashrc might not be there. dn5 copy the blank from /etc/skel/ === BADLARRY is now known as BadLarry_ [21:50] s/blank/default/ [21:50] i do have bash.bashrc [21:50] but don't have a folder .bashrc [21:50] zykotick9: million reasons why not having the file, thats why i said: by default [21:50] llutz: i have checked dmesg before but this time there is a Frack Load of "[ 9173.451946] ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Wrong Mac address" but this time i have gotten a bit further [21:51] dn5: ~/.bashrc is a file, not a directory [21:51] I don't have the bashrc file [21:51] zykotick9: sorry for my stupid question but can we use `echo $i | tr '_' ' '` instead of "`echo $i | tr '_' ' '`" ? is the double quote necessary here ? [21:51] ikonia: i tried all the different ones i could find and all the different blacklist recipes [21:51] so im sure that error pretains to me messing with gps stuff [21:51] slimjimflim: that's not what I said [21:51] slimjimflim: I said work out which one of my statements is true [21:51] i have no idea what the problem is [21:51] or maybe it's conflicting drivers [21:51] wissam_: sorry, is this for filenames? my command won't work for file contents, only names... [21:51] slimjimflim: I said work out which one of my statements is true [21:52] zykotick9: yes only names [21:52] wissam_: you could try it without... but i'm not sure. you could ask #bash for correct confirmation. [21:52] zykotick9 where should I copy blank .bashrc to? [21:53] /etc/ ? [21:53] ikonia: that's a false dichotomy [21:53] dn5: ~ which is your users home [21:53] there's also the possibility that it's a conflict [21:53] wissam_: echo ${i/_/\ } [21:53] zykotick9: ok thnx [21:53] slimjimflim: no, it's not [21:53] slimjimflim: read what I said a.) either the modules are not loading or b.) they are not compatible with your card - work out which one is true [21:54] Sorry it was my wrong about .bashrc thus terminal search really didn't give me anything as result [21:54] manual serach prove I was wrong [21:56] is "export PATH=$PATH:/home/tools" right line that I should add in bashrc? [21:56] ikonia: or c) they are loading and compatible and they are conflicting [21:56] Hello, is this an ok place to ask for some ubuntu support? :P [21:56] but yea you're not helping [21:56] slimjimflim: no, but if you insist on that, go for it [21:57] I have TB HDD with broken sectors. How do I fix them? [21:57] i'm getting kicked out of the library. [21:57] bye [21:57] what about this? gpsd:ERROR: can't run with neither control socket nor devices [21:57] how do I change the limit of allowed file descriptors one program can use/access [21:57] josh_: yes indeed [21:58] !details | josh_ [21:58] josh_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:58] Prock81: do you have a high end GPS? 'cause neither of my 2 garmins actually give the required serial device for use with my computer :( [21:58] ...bot is truly a plague [21:58] columb, are they reallocated sectors? did you read the SMART info? [21:58] Prock81: sounds like you called gpsd without specifying a device/socket to use [21:58] sure, I am trying to set up a dvr type PC. [21:58] this is what i have: Dell Wireless™ 5630 Multi-mode HSPA-EVDO Mini Card (Gobi™ 3000) with A-GPS [21:59] I have the tv tuner card installed and have gotten as far as "scanning for muxes" reaching 0 on tvheadend setup if you are familiar with the process [21:59] hi [21:59] Prock81: when it's attached to you find it in the "dmesg" output, perhaps with the device specificed? [21:59] so how do i know what to call gpsd with? [21:59] anyways, I was wondering if there were any guides a little more "all inclusive" for a one box setup [21:59] one moment [21:59] and I can't seem to find one anywhere >.< [22:00] compdoc, no idea about reallocation. Info about broken sectors provided by SMART. [22:01] josh_, 4min is not much a evidence of no help. ;) [22:01] columb, you can use the disk utility to read the SMART, but if you have any reallocated sectors, you need to watch if the count is growing. I would replace the drive, since you cant fix them [22:01] 4min? I don't understand [22:01] josh_, You started posting 4 min ago. [22:02] 6 now [22:02] josh_: you might consider mythtv, mythbuntu... it's still not "trivial" to get working [22:02] omg i need help with my dmesg [22:02] well I've been struggling with this for 2 days? [22:02] josh_: all inclusive will tend toward mythtv tuts, probs [22:02] freenx, xbmc, etc. [22:02] thanks, mythtv was my most recent troubles [22:03] xbmc is frontend only though [22:03] I guess I probably only need help with backend issues [22:03] josh_, where do you live? [22:03] new york [22:03] buffalo side that is [22:03] josh_, what tuner? [22:04] hauppage 1800 (spell check on hauppage) [22:04] lspci has this 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) [22:04] josh_, is that a digital card or analog? [22:05] compdoc, HDD is in NTFS and seems like disk utility doesn't support it. [22:05] but i also have this on my specs Dell Wireless™ 5630 Multi-mode HSPA-EVDO Mini Card (Gobi™ 3000) with A-GPS [22:05] http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/latit/en/latitude-e6420-specsheet.pdf [22:05] josh_, looks like it has both analog and digital [22:05] yes [22:05] josh_, do you plan on using both tuners? [22:05] I was going to answer that but thought I should double check quickly [22:05] no just digital [22:05] columb, in the bios, you should look to see if you can enable SMART [22:05] josh_, ok, and what is your desired outcome? You are trying to make a PVR? [22:06] and i have this: /dev/serial/by-id/usb-Foxconn_Dell_Wireless_5630__EVDO-HSPA__Mobile_Broadband_Mini-Card-if0 [22:06] hi. i have a problem with my new SSD Hard Disk in Ubuntu. lsscsi show it with the Right name. I am able to create partitions and format them with ext4 but at the time [22:06] i try to moun it it fails. Plug Out and Plugin does also not mount it. dmesg says Sata Link Down. Do i need to install some module additional? Please Help! [22:06] yes [22:06] Prock81: does "lsusb" list your wireless 5630-blabla? [22:07] for live tv specifically [22:07] compdoc, Disc Utility errors "File system is NOT clean". [22:07] no it does not list that [22:07] josh_, well if you just want livetv, then mythtv probably isn't the route you want to go [22:07] josh_, if you want a full PVR, then mythtv should be able to do that just fine [22:08] could you help me answer what the difference is really? What additional features are in a full pvr [22:09] josh_, PVR would be if you wanted to record and schedule stuff. live tv is more like a dumb tv [22:09] so i have a /27 with a few IPs to assign to my server, is it generally good practice to just create virtual interfaces for each IP? [22:09] llutz, lsusb dont mention 5630 at all, would that be cause of a driver thing [22:09] well yeah then, a full pvr. I meant record etc live tv [22:10] I'm getting into the terminology a bit you'll have to excuse me. I know what I want and I know it can be done but with little linux experience (I think my pitfall) I keep running into different roadblocks [22:11] josh_, so for mythtv, in the US, you'll probably need to spend about $25/year for guide data [22:11] hi [22:12] josh_, you can do without guide data, but that kinda defeats the point of a PVR (basically making it a dumb vcr) [22:12] I see. do these services have trials by chance that you know of? [22:13] so I can at least get it started [22:13] josh_, probably, it's http://www.schedulesdirect.org/ [22:13] josh_, that is where to get guide data for mythtv [22:14] josh_, looks like a 7 day free trial [22:16] josh_, I've been working on a mythtv guide for a little bit [22:16] hi, I am trying to set up oidentd on 13.4 but it always replies "ERROR:NO-USER" It is on a server behind a NAT router with a port forward. It is a default installation. [22:17] josh_, you can test it if you want, I'd appreciate feedback if you do https://docs.google.com/document/d/19knOlqz8cV5_8VQ1tCvEd8tjEk6U50KsSOJCROR60o4/edit?usp=sharing [22:17] Then I'm glad you saw my plee for help! [22:18] josh_, I'll also point you that you should be able to comment directly into that doc [22:18] ok, will you be around a bit. I could give it a try and let you know as I go. [22:18] though if you're not here I wouldnt be any worse off haha [22:19] josh_, I'm at work right now and will head home in about an hour. I don't guarentee that I'll be around at anytime, but you'll have better luck finding me in #ubuntu-mythtv === schultza2 is now known as schultza [22:20] OK. at the very least I promise I will post some comments as to my success and/or questions [22:20] whew, finally found it. [22:20] is it "done" as of now meaning will it get me to the end if I manage to follow it [22:24] Hi, I just got a ubuntu 10.10 disk from a friend and installed it, but it seems that everything in the software center is unavailable. is there anything I can do or just upgrade again? [22:24] Guest6997: You have to upgrade to 12.04 at least. [22:24] dread [22:25] is there a way to do that without a bootdisk or thumb drive? [22:26] what to add to this 12.04 though?i hav one and wondering what ar the best things to dll from the software center [22:27] !eolupgrade | Guest6997 [22:27] Guest6997: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [22:28] how old is your computer guest6997? [22:28] can i sync my goog calendar with th ubuntu calendar? [22:28] 4-5 y/o [22:28] josh_, yes it will [22:29] josh_, note that it is written for a specific tuner in mind, so you'll need to take that into account when you reach that section [22:29] can you give the make and model? [22:32] me? compaq CQ5504f [22:33] thanks a lot tgm4883. I wrote your info down in case I need to bug you again. As I said I'll post some comments. Cheers! [22:34] should be a decent enough spec to run Ubuntu 12.04 and above. Download the ISO from the Ubuntu website, burn it to a DISK/USB and give it a go in live mode [22:34] CD or dvd? [22:34] am nub, be gentle [22:35] Guest6997: Welcome to the FOSS world. We hope you stay awhile. [22:35] tyvm [22:35] DVD. [22:36] thanks, will do. [22:37] This link will probably help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [22:37] My ubuntu-13.04-desktop-amd64.iso is 823.1 MB. Is there a smaller one that will fit a CD or do we now need to jump up to DVD burning? [22:37] I got 700m cds, but no dvds. [22:37] schultza, DVD or USB [22:37] have you got a USB drive? [22:38] nope lol, I gotta go buy one. [22:38] !mini | schultza if you want to go much smaller there is this... [22:38] schultza if you want to go much smaller there is this...: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [22:39] Sweet, and this will update or whatever to a current stable version? [22:39] zykotick9: I'd like to keep the live desktop option for repair instances. [22:41] hello [22:41] any ladies wanna chat? [22:41] Alternatively guest6997 rather than fork out for a USB drive you could just buy the dvd from the Ubuntu site. http://shop.canonical.com/product_info.php?products_id=976 Probably be cheaper, guaranteed to get the correct image [22:41] separatedmale: #defocus [22:43] with these hardware specs http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?objectID=c02174551&lang=en&cc=us&contentType=SupportFAQ&prodSeriesId=4162245 [22:43] the minimal download will work but if you are new to Ubuntu and Linux it will be a bigger learning curve than getting a proper live disk [22:43] which minimal image do you think is best for me? [22:43] <[Ex0r]> hello, is Ubuntu server the version with no UI ? [22:44] [Ex0r]: it has a ui. it's not graphical,... but it has a ui [22:44] <[Ex0r]> nevyn- is there a version that just installs linux with no kde or gnome, that I can just ssh in to for management ? [22:44] hi, I'm using 12.04 and found the command "test -n 'asdasd'" does not return anything, is this correct?. [22:45] [Ex0r]: server [22:45] Guest6997: That computer is a x86_64 (or 64-bit) system. [22:45] <[Ex0r]> nevyn- awesome, thank you. I am wanting to test out my PHP application I am developing on several different platforms so I am going to virtual machine a bunch of setups [22:46] 13.04 (kubuntu) installer crashes with failure to install grub-efi. what can I do about this? [22:47] Snova2: confirm all secure boot functionality is disabled [22:47] daftykins: I couldn't even boot the live usb until I did. that's fine. [22:48] How do I find out what device my eSata drives enumerated as? [22:48] Snova2: are you trying to dual-boot with say, Win8 or nuking the disk and installing by itself? [22:48] daftykins: dual-boot with oem win8 install. [22:49] hi. i guess i am going to break down and buy a new laptop [22:49] the usual ssd, windows fast restart stuff that the wiki page on UEFI mentions are all disabled or not applicable as far as I can tell [22:49] this box is a POS and was almost DOA [22:49] i am thinking about an Acer Aspire One with the 1.1Ghz intel [22:50] from my local walmart for 250$ [22:50] Snova2: is it failing at the first-step GRUB install then, then refusing to install? [22:50] anyone out there know if that will work good with 13.04? [22:50] nintet: 1.1GHz intel what? sounds terrible [22:50] intel celeron [22:51] http://www.walmart.com/ip/Acer-Feather-11.6-Aspire-One-Laptop-PC-with-Intel-Celeron-847-Processor-and-Windows-8-Operating-System-Assorted-Colors/23324592#Product+Reviews [22:51] daftykins: don't know. there's some files in /target/boot/grub/x86_64-efi that suggest it was at least partially there. exact message is "The 'grub-efi' package failed to install into /target/." [22:51] Snova2: have you only tried once? [22:52] is there anything about win8 pre-loaded computers that i should know? [22:52] like... did M$ make it so that the thing blows up if you try to install linux? [22:52] daftykins: I've tried a couple times, reformatting the partitions each go and always the same error. [22:52] nintet: it won't be a very good experience [22:52] why not? [22:52] poor graphics and dire processor [22:52] im not having a good experience now [22:53] ok... [22:53] Snova2: did you take the approach of resizing the Windows volume to make space, then trying to install into the opened up space? [22:53] Is UEFI Secure boot supported on Wubi with 12.04.2? [22:53] i just want to run draftsight. [22:53] daftykins: yes, though I actually did that with gparted [22:53] nintet: would be interesting to see how well ubuntu ran on that machine [22:54] honestly, i was using 12.04 LTS because it installed draftsight out of the box [22:54] the problem is that now the graphics took a huge crap on me and all i see is grey [22:54] in draftsight [22:54] not to mention that puppy, beos, and tynyXP has trashed my boot [22:55] Snova2: hmm controversial. i wouldn't have trusted that myself [22:55] daftykins: perhaps, but the ubiquity partitioner is a bit screwy and the kde ui somewhat buggy, and it seemed to work perfectly fine in the end [22:56] i have a device that should be showing in lsusb and its not, what would be the problem [22:57] Snova2: so you've since booted into 8 and it's all happy with the disk setup? [22:57] daftykins: yeah, win8 still works fine [22:57] i dont have the cash to just throw at a laptop tho [22:57] i'd have used disk management in win8 to resize, but ho-hum captain hindsight is of no use [22:57] is there a sub 300$ laptop that fits my needs? [22:57] Prock81: lack of driver most likely [22:57] ninet, some one posted a comment that it runs debian and xfce [22:57] yeah i saw that [22:58] but that is debian not 13.04 === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` [22:58] they prolly do the whole IT for every car dealership in town or something [22:58] i just make noise and draw pictures [22:58] daftykins: I suppose that would have been slightly safer, but it doesn't seem to have made much difference. except there seems to be a couple hundred KB of empty space between each ext4 partition for some reason... [22:58] how can i get the driver for "Dell Wireless™ 5630 Multi-mode HSPA-EVDO Mini Card (Gobi™ 3000) with A-GPS" [22:59] i dont know how windows 8 can be released on a 1.1 intel celeron anyways... [22:59] that must be a beefy CPU [22:59] ninet: office depot/staples/office max usually advertise a $300 or so lappy.. look at their ads [22:59] has a 2mb cache [22:59] nintet: no it's pants :P [22:59] pants? [22:59] rubbish [22:59] ah [23:00] where in blazes do they use the word pants to describe rubbish [23:00] sweeden [23:00] ? [23:00] i'm sort of in the UK [23:00] I have *got* to turn hilights off for "blaze" [23:00] but not [23:00] johnjohn101: In the UK we do, anyway [23:00] It would be interesting to see if that could boot within the boot up limit that Microsoft has set [23:00] well, what i would like is a chromebook but i dont know if it will run draftsight [23:00] all i know is that for almost every cad app out there you need an intel cpu [23:01] i have nfi what draftsight is [23:01] its the linux cad app [23:01] well sadly all this laptop buying talk is beyond support of Ubuntu [23:01] nintet: that cheap one might be bearable with a non-3D desktop, so perhaps with say xubuntu or lubuntu instead [23:02] but it still looks pretty... pants to me [23:02] Any way to get a little help on Zentyal in here? It being an Ubuntu derivative and all, someone here might be able to help :) [23:03] yeah, better get a box then [23:03] Prock81: does the wireless part work? you might want to see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1966918 but it does NOT talk about GPS... [23:03] goodness. I can leave a convenient giant 500gb empty space and the installer decides the best option is to blow away the whole disk. to say nothing of the crashes, ubiquity needs some serious work [23:03] Zaitzev: no, official support only [23:03] Sure [23:04] zykotick9, wireless works, but gps is confusing [23:04] Snova2: ^_^ [23:05] ... and gparted just silently crashed horribly. can't say I want my partitioning tool doing that [23:05] Prock81: ummm, well - good luck (you'll probably need it) [23:05] Snova2: your system doesn't sound especially stable right now [23:05] are there no executables in ubuntu? [23:05] is acnyone playing trou comabt gmae? [23:05] Guest6997: of course, how else would programs run? what are you really after...? [23:06] trying to install brasero [23:06] daftykins: "double free or corruption" doesn't sound like something that was my fault, nor those exceptions in the ubiquity code... [23:06] Has anyone gotten unity/compiz freezeups? [23:07] Happens occasionally for me [23:07] Guest6997: install or use brasero? [23:07] Snova2: it's not about asserting blame, though i would begin to try and blame something for the instability. either RAM issues, bad flash drive, bad CD/DVD etc? [23:07] sometimes, switching to tty1 and back works, sometimes unity --replace, sometimes it half-works and I have to restart to restore fully [23:07] daftykins: the machine is barely two weeks old! [23:07] is anyone playing trou combat game? [23:08] install then use brasero 3.0.0 [23:08] Snova2: sure but the media you're installing from? [23:08] Snova2: i've already seen plenty of people in here doing UEFI installs beside win8 and i've not seen anyone have these kind of app crashes [23:08] daftykins: an interesting point, actually; the flash drive is old and a bit sticky from... something. I really doubt it though [23:09] Guest6997: what version are you running? [23:09] Snova2: could be worth 100% formatting it and recreating it? [23:09] daftykins: well, the grub-efi thing comes up on google/launchpad bugs, but the ubiquity UI crash is fairly clearly just a programmer fudging things up. gparted is an oddity [23:09] ubuntu 10.10, trying to burn a mini.iso of 13.04 [23:09] Snova2: fair enough, what did the launchpad bugs say of the grub-efi bit? anything useful? [23:10] IdleOne Isn't 10.04 LTS? [23:10] irreverant: it was but it's not got long left now [23:10] daftykins: unsolved bugs, a lack of workarounds, and the odd unhelpful "try blowing away your whole disk" :-) [23:10] irreverant: 10.04's desktop support is done... EOL at this point. [23:10] it was, Desktop version has reached EOL === Guest6997 is now known as Victor [23:10] is anyone playing trou combat game????????????????????? [23:10] How long does an LTS usually have support for? [23:10] !lts [23:10] LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) [23:11] then thats what I should get right? [23:11] is anyone playing trou combat game????????????????????? [23:11] Snova2: tbh i bet the manufacturer has a huge recovery partition that's wasting space anyway, were it my system and i wasn't nuking 8, i'd have nuked the disk and clean installed 8 then ubuntu :) === samuel_ is now known as samuel [23:11] Victor: Do you have Startup Disk Creator installed? [23:11] kuracina: do NOT repeat yourself in here [23:11] realistically nobody is going to stay on a 5 year old desktop are they? Just look at the difference between 10.10 and 13.04 and that is just 3 years === Guest47921 is now known as hue [23:12] also off-topic, I believe [23:12] is anyone playing trou combat game????????????????????? [23:12] is anyone playing trou combat game????????????????????? [23:12] is anyone playing trou combat game????????????????????? [23:12] kuracina: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:12] Victor: so where are you getting stuck? installing brasero? [23:13] daftykins: at this point I'd love to do that, and there's way too many excess partitions on this thing as it is (what kind of system has seven partitions by default?!), but no nice simple win8 install disks... [23:13] there's backups of everything, so the disk isn't valuable. but the OS is [23:14] Snova2: easy to find win8 images for dl. and yeah EFI demands a minimum of 3 so there's some fun right there :( [23:14] yea [23:15] What is a local backup solutin for ubuntu that's similar to Backup Exec or Windows Backup? [23:15] daftykins: one efi, one windows boot, windows everything else I'm guessing? I can live with that, but this thing adds two recovery partitions, an unknown one, a lenovo thing with drivers... messy [23:15] No idea how to install stuff on ubuntu, I've extracted it, but the install help file makes no sense to me. [23:15] Victor: locate it in the software centre and install? or "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install brasero" in a terminal? [23:16] Snova2: that's manufacturers for you [23:16] Hey everyone. I'm trying to kill X-Server so I can install NVidia drivers. When I use the enabled control-alt-backspace it takes me to log in screen, NOT to terminal. When I use Ctrl-Alt-F1 and go Virtual Terminal, my "password" is incorrect even though I just tried even changing it. What now? [23:16] !backup | irreverant [23:16] irreverant: There are many ways to back your system up.

[23:17] omfg, I've had it installed all along /facepalm [23:17] still no guarantee it'll work, though; for all I know I'll just end up with a cleaner disk and a still-failing installer === Victor is now known as Victor_the_ubern === Victor_the_ubern is now known as Victor_the_nub === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [23:18] Thanks for the help, I'm gonna go make that mini boot now. [23:18] jrib: Backup Exec is for Symantec local backup solution on the Windows Platform. So is Microsoft Backup - which comes iwth Windows Server. [23:18] Hey everyone. I'm trying to kill X-Server so I can install NVidia drivers. When I use the enabled control-alt-backspace it takes me to log in screen, NOT to terminal. When I use Ctrl-Alt-F1 and go Virtual Terminal, my "password" is incorrect even though I just tried even changing it. What now? [23:19] is Virtualbox the same as installing it on the computer? [23:19] jrib TAR utility isn't the same as a tarball is it? [23:19] irreverant: tar creates tarballs [23:19] imranh: To open Terminal, it's Ctrl+Alt+T [23:19] imranh: FYI installint nvidia.com's driver is possibly a bad idea anyways... [23:19] irreverant: cmon..i saw you at windows channel :] [23:19] Frend: the process is the same yes.. but the result is obviously vituralized [23:20] zykotick9: It's better than having no drivers at all and being stuck at 1024x768 because bumblebee is useless [23:20] saiarcot895: You can't close xserver from terminal... You need virtual terminal. [23:20] imranh: as it is, I thought the drivers would be installed, then you have to restart. [23:20] saiarcot895: No.. They are not installed.. I am trying to install them... [23:20] Bumblebee only switches the app to use the nvidia [23:21] Yes, but how do I actually get drivers for it then? [23:21] Besides from NVidia? [23:21] who has a direct link to ubuntu .iso [23:21] Nouveou something if you dont like the Nvidia one [23:21] Snova2: you should have the windows 8 key on your COA sticker no? [23:21] kel39_, ubuntu.com and which release? [23:21] imranh: bumblebee works with nouveau [23:21] !download | kel39 [23:21] kel39: Ubuntu installation CDs can be downloaded from http://releases.ubuntu.com - Mirrors can be found at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mirrors - PLEASE use the !torrents to download !Raring, and help keeping the servers' load low! [23:21] i was hoping someone could save me doing that... i have wget open [23:21] lol [23:21] Frend: Yes I'm in the windows channel. I'm also realitively new to ubuntu [23:22] imranh: I believe the Ubuntu repos have open-source Nvidia drivers [23:22] imranh: I'll try to find some packages [23:22] irreverant: nice to see you :) [23:22] *kernel has nvidia open source, it's called nouveau [23:22] imranh: ubuntu includes a mechinism for installing the nvidia binary drivers (as well [23:22] saiarcot895: ubunto also has the propritary nvidia drivers in repo as well... just sayin' === MARKUSH is now known as MarkusH [23:22] imranh: this will install and configure them correctly for ubuntu [23:23] I'm on 12.10 right now [23:23] Is anyone familiar with a text based bdf client for ubuntu [23:23] zykotick9: Interesting. I thought they only kept open-source on their repos [23:23] daftykins: this thing is pretty stickerless, unless it's under the battery or something like that [23:23] Snova2: can be, or on mains adapters [23:23] saiarcot895: no way - ubuntu has LOTS of non-free stuff... [23:23] Gonna go try this mini-iso, wish me luck. [23:23] good luck [23:24] Is there a Partner Channel program for Ubuntu to be an Authorized Dealer? And where should I start looking? [23:24] zykotick9: true, I should have thought of that. Otherwise, it wouldn't be able to play MP3, flash (although it's an installer), etc. [23:24] irreverant: somewhere a lot more official than IRC, that's for sure [23:25] daftykins: Yeah I figure but I'm not sure if it's Canonical or Ubuntu I need to contact [23:25] daftykins: I answered my own question Canonical [23:25] irreverant, I think you are applying a stem to distribution that does not exist. [23:25] So I guess nouveau is installed by default. Any way to easily configure it or is it gonna take a bunch of conf editing? [23:26] system* === benoit is now known as Guest91108 [23:26] imranh: the nvidia-current-updates package installs some nvidia drivers [23:26] wilee-nilee: what do you mean? [23:26] imranh: by "configuring it", you mean nouveau? it'll typically just work, or you willl want the other driver [23:27] irreverant, This is open source basically you can distribute ubuntu for free as is. [23:27] It's not "just working" since I'm stuck at 1024x768. And like I said I can't install NVidia drivers either since I need to close Xserver for that and that's impossible [23:28] irreverant: there is a partner program which will let you use logo's etc etc I think [23:28] imranh: you can install from tty [23:28] I understand that.... But let's say we build boxes and and support them. Obviously since it's licensed - can I charge to support it, if so how much and how much can I seel the complete system for including the Ubuntu software. [23:28] !nvidia > imranh [23:28] imranh, please see my private message [23:28] nevyn: that's what I'm talking about. [23:28] I don't want to break any laws/rules regarding licensing. [23:29] daftykins: well, thanks for the advice. I think I might go with the "restart from scratch" option, though it'll take a while. in the meantime I think I've spent too much time fussing with this today already :-) [23:29] holstein: Thanks, that was useless, the problem isn't the configuration, it's the complete lack of drivers. [23:29] irreverant, I'm not sure Canonical is making a profit as of now in spite of all their programs, if that is your goal it is a pipe dream. [23:29] holstein: fyi a "tty" is ANY terminal, i think what you really mean is "virtual console" which the OP can't log into... [23:30] imranh: that link explains the package to install, that can be installed from tty.. the proprietary driver [23:30] 19:26 < saiarcot895> imranh: the nvidia-current-updates package installs some nvidia drivers [23:30] irreverant: http://www.canonical.com/partners/oem [23:30] zykotick9: direct any helpful info to imranh [23:30] what about the fuzz about the amazon such in ubuntu? [23:30] wilee-nilee: I'll have to research it. [23:30] nevyn: thanks [23:31] I'm out. [23:31] holstein: the "helpful" part was directed at you. [23:31] hi there, need some advice on buying a laptop for ubuntu. I plan to get a 14" inch screen. preferably i5, less liked if AMD quad core. love it thin and light, but not ultrabook (dont really want an ssd though). need something that support vga . DVD writer not important Was looking at vostro 5460, (ubuntu preinstalled), but that dont have vga. Asus vivobook on the other is not ubuntu friendly. any advice? [23:32] zykotick9: i read "i cant install since I need to close Xserver for that" , and i was thinking you could use tty from there [23:32] inashdeen: lenovo T4xx whatever the current model is? [23:33] !hcl [23:33] For lists of supported hardware on Ubuntu see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupport - To help debugging and improving hardware detection, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DebuggingHardwareDetection [23:33] holstein: you're using TTY incorrectly, as many people do - that's what i'm trying to share with you. a TTY is an xterm/aterm/etc. as well. what you mean is called "virtual console" the F1-F6 (by default) [23:34] I can't log IN to the virtual console. It keeps telling me "incorrect login" when I've tried every possible combination, tried changing my password, and even tried use the numkeys above qwerty instead of the numpad. I CANT log in to VC === Jikan is now known as Jikai [23:35] I used the command to check what my username for Ubuntu is and it says "imran" === Jikai is now known as Jikan [23:35] zykotick9: if i, which i dont, had an issue iwth my xserver, i would maybe try a TTY to get to a console.. i dont think that is a bad idea [23:35] So I used "imran" as the login and used my password which didn't work, even tried chaning password with passwd command and using the new password and still nothing. The VC just won't let me log in [23:36] holstein: what is unclear here? a TTY is NOT the F1-F6, it's ANY terminal - including xorg based terminals... [23:36] nevyn : is lenovo good? just curious. never used one before. is it ubuntu friendly? [23:36] imranh, take a look here, you may need to use the shift key at powering on to see the grub menu. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/resetpassword [23:37] imranh, Can we assume you did not try and set a root password? [23:37] Using which command, wilee-nilee ? [23:37] wilee-nilee: he's trying to login onthe vc as himself... [23:37] wilee-nilee: Would this not be the same password used for sudo? [23:38] imranh, You would have intended to do so. [23:38] imranh: you are logging in on the console as imranh ? right? [23:38] the username is "imran" so that's what I'm using. [23:38] And the terminal command to list users lists it as "imran" [23:38] ok [23:38] !tty | zykotick9 [23:38] zykotick9: To get to the TTY terminals 1-6, use the keystroke ctrl + alt + F1-F6 respectively (Alt+F7 will get you back to your graphical login). To change the resolution for your TTY, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ChangeTTYResolution [23:39] if you type id at a terminal in unity. it says the account is imran ? [23:39] holstein: LOL - ubuntu obviously doesn't know what a TTY is either ;) [23:39] zykotick9: thats why i refer to them as tty's.. so that users can use the bot to get to the help.. if its unclear, i appologize [23:39] nevyn: "imran" [23:39] zykotick9: i dont mean to be combative at all [23:40] so if you type sudo ls and the password that works? [23:40] When I type "sudo apt-get kubuntu-desktop" in Terminal am I getting 12.04 or 13.04? [23:40] nevyn: Yes. It works fine. [23:40] imranh, Just for clarification ubuntu has no root password you have a user password to be a superuser. [23:40] wilee-nilee: Yeah... The same password used for Sudo... which is what I'm using... [23:41] holstein: i'm certainly dropping this - BUT, those F1-F6 are called "linux virtual terminals", NOT TTYs. as ANY terminal, including Xorg-based ones are still TTYs. [23:41] imranh, Cool, carry on I did want to muddle your help any,ore than I have already. ;) [23:41] more* [23:41] wilee-nilee: No worries I appreciate the input [23:41] hi guys! :D [23:42] imranh: so if you press ctrl-alt-F1 and type imran at the login: prompt and that password it doesn't work? [23:42] nevyn: Exactly. [23:42] zykotick9: i'll keep that in mind.. and totally trust your expertise.. maybe we can get the bot updated, if necessary [23:42] holstein: the bot SHOULD be updated... [23:42] Oh no! an Xpl01t just entered! Time to fire up the antivirus... [23:42] nevyn: I even tried changing the password, using the keys above qwerty rather than numpad.... [23:42] jk [23:43] imranh: numlock is per-vc so you can't rely on it being on when you change to a Virtual Console [23:43] nevyn: That's why I used keys above the keyboard, too. [23:43] zykotick9: I think the bot should be updated too.. [23:44] so i have a semi dedicated server (xen) - how can i isolate customers on this? [23:44] holstein: nevyn see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tty_%28Unix%29 for confirmation ;) [23:44] i dont think KVM is a solution.... [23:44] they would just need FTP access/apache2 [23:44] nevyn: Also I can "check" if numlock is on by typing numbers in the login prompt, so I can say that's off. [23:44] imranh: this is correct.. so toggle it. [23:45] in the vc. [23:45] zykotick9: as i said, i trust you, and need no "proof".. i only want to be able to refer to *something* to get to a console for support purposes.. [23:45] nevyn: ..I tried. About 20 times now.. [23:45] nevyn: isnt the Terminal "virtual console"? [23:45] Frend: everything is a terminal (xterm, konsole, gnome-terminal [23:46] Frend: the Virtual Console's are the terminals provided by the kernel using the keyboard and video adapter of the local system [23:46] Frend: only the F1-F? are "linux virtual consoles", you can use "echo $TERM" and it will return "linux" if you are in a true "virtual console" [23:46] LXC looks like the solution [23:48] Well, I'm going to try to drop in to root from Ubuntu recovery and install from there. Unless there is something else I can do. [23:49] is it possible to run LXC ontop of a xen hypervisor instance? (semi dedi) [23:55] asdf [23:56] Hi guys [23:56] what's the proper way to disable a nic altogether in /etc/network/interfaces [23:56] I installed Ubuntu 13.04, and it's support for my computer is pretty bad, and I wanted to downgrade to Ubuntu 12. How's the best way to go about doing this? [23:56] At the moment, I have Ubuntu 13 set up in a partition, but I want to wipe that partition off my hard drive and replace it with Ubuntu 12 [23:57] thansen: the "proper" way, would be to blacklist the driver, not use /etc/networks/interfaces [23:57] download 12 .iso [23:57] I have the 12 iso already [23:57] put it on a usb [23:57] dreadiscool: http://releases.ubuntu.com/12.10/ [23:57] I am using the startup disk creator [23:57] cool [23:57] when its done, boot from USB [23:57] zykotick9: I have multiple nics with the same driver...seems overkill [23:57] enjoy [23:57] dreadiscool: just use unetbootin [23:57] i think its page on ubuntu that shows the supported hardware [23:58] thansen: that's certainly more complicated then. good luck! [23:58] just get a copy of Ubuntu 12? [23:59] if I just erase the config for that nic altogether will it be ignored? I'm remotely ssh'd and don't want to screw it over === matthew is now known as Guest23073 [23:59] you dont want to wipe your important files? [23:59] What is unetbootin? [23:59] dreadiscool: writes an image to USB [23:59] How do I get rid of the u13 partition?
