| NarcTix | caodepa1ha When you booted in first time did you use the restricted drivers option, The latest Ubuntu I use is 12.04 with kde/xfce so not sure where it is these days as I used Gnome in the past | 00:01 |
| adicted2gravity | hi all | 00:01 |
| OerHeks | wubi is slower than the real deal | 00:01 |
| caodepalha | no. it just said: preparing to start ubuntu for the first time | 00:02 |
| NarcTix | oh wubi is slow sorry never used that . Why install Linux from within windows installs are easy (same as windows) these days | 00:03 |
| NarcTix | You dont have to compile anymore | 00:04 |
| caodepalha | so it is slow because i installed it with wubi on windows? | 00:04 |

| NarcTix | caodepa1ha No I didnt rerad the full story ( a bad habit of mine) And thought you meant the install was slow, sorry for the confusion. | 00:05 |
| OerHeks | !wubi | 00:05 |
| ubottu | Wubi allows you to install or uninstall Ubuntu 12.04 LTS from within Windows ( version 7 or earlier ) in a simple and safe way. Wubi is INCOMPATIBLE with UEFI, Windows 8 Certified computers, and Windows RAID arrays. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide for more information.

| caodepalha | i use win7 | 00:06 |
| NarcTix | caodepa1ha It sounds like your gfx drivers arent installed to me | 00:06 |
| caodepalha | humm ok. so should i restart the laptop and install gfx drivers? where do i look for them? | 00:07 |
| OerHeks | i wonder if you even can install restricted drivers in wubi | 00:07 |
| NarcTix | oerheks probabbly not with license restrictions | 00:08 |
| darknyan | Is automatically connecting to a VPN still a broken feature in network-manager-openvpn? | 00:09 |
| caodepalha | narctix you reckon it's about the gfx drivers? | 00:09 |
| NarcTix | caodepa1ha thats the first place I would look if it was my box and your symptoms sound like your gfx is running at min, whats your highest resoloution you can set? | 00:10 |
| caodepalha | 1280x800 | 00:11 |
| caodepalha | on windows | 00:11 |
| caodepalha | maybe i should be on this chat through ubuntu and now windows 7. i will restart the laptop and come back via ubuntu to try to solve it | 00:12 |
| NarcTix | caodepa1ha might not be then you usually wouldnt be able to set higher then 1208x768 from my experience if its drivers. | 00:12 |

| akurilin | Is it safe to assume that ssl-cert-snakeoil is generated every time the ssl-cert package is installed as opposed to being the same cert for each Ubuntu instance? | 00:13 |
| NarcTix | akuriin whats the ssl cert serving? | 00:14 |
| === rosco_y is now known as rosco_away | ||
| NarcTix | and what type of ssl cert? | 00:14 |
| akurilin | NarcTix, just to clarify, it's not a cert I generated, it's supposedly placed for you under /etc/ssl/private and /etc/ssl/certs. | 00:16 |
| === gbyers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| NarcTix | akurilin tbh thats a bit like asking how long is a piece of string, If no bugs then nothing should break. | 00:19 |
| === rosco_away is now known as rosco_y | ||
| === launch is now known as Guest1028 | ||
| akurilin | NarcTix, I must have asked the question poorly. I'm just wondering if the certificate placed into those folders by ssl-cert is generated each time or the same one for everybody (which sounds like a terrible idea, but I want to be safe) | 00:21 |
| NarcTix | akuriin Thats why I asked what are they serving? Are they for https, secure imap, etc? | 00:22 |
| NarcTix | akuriin where did they come from? | 00:23 |
| NarcTix | akuriin apart from bugs an upgrade or uninstall shouldnt remove any configs unless you purge on an uninstall | 00:25 |

| zephyr | sudo apt-get update | 00:34 |
| zephyr | pfifo: that paste is the end of it... much of the update went fine. | 00:34 |
| chrisirc | How does the Ubuntu desktop open applications from the GUI? I'm especially interested in how it handles the case of applications that are already open. Since opening them through fork/exec (e.g. from the shell) isn't consistently handled by applications. | 00:34 |
| chrisirc | Some start new instances, some open documents in existing ones. | 00:34 |

| pfifo | zephyr: your using some PPA's arent you? | 00:35 |
| zephyr | pfifo: I believe Steam Client installed it's own PPA | 00:35 |
| NarcTix | zephyr what version of Ubuntu you running as well and I cant remember the name for them (Ubuntu ppl will be able to answer the equivelant of EPL and such repos for RH/CentOS) | 00:35 |
| zephyr | NarcTix: Ringtale something or other, 13.04 | 00:36 |
| NarcTix | zephyr any PPas (I remebered) | 00:36 |

| NarcTix | zephyr Its the steam repo (didnt know there was one) Or a Steam PPa thats giving the error doesent look like the main repos to me | 00:39 |
| Bozza | Zephyr you look familiar | 00:39 |
| pfifo | zephyr: pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:39 |
| pfifo | Bozza: you can do that, let me know when its ready ill install any distro called the hurr durr distro | 00:40 |

| OerHeks | vitormiran, do you have an UEFI bios? | 00:40 |
| OerHeks | !uefi | 00:40 |
| ubottu | 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 | 00:40 |
| zephyr | pfifo, NarcTix: fixed it. It was a MergeList issue | 00:41 |
| vitormiran | OerHeks: yes... I can`t boot ubuntu in uefi mode. only in BIOS mode | 00:41 |
| zephyr | Bozza: not me | 00:41 |
| Bozza | zephyr: ahh maybe it was someone with the same handle | 00:41 |
| OerHeks | i am not an expert with uefi, all i know is that manual. | 00:41 |
| NarcTix | zephyr or a config issue if you remove anything steam related from your apt repo list updates should work, btw the errors probbably mean your system is up to date and your just getting the error because steam couldnt be updated. Try installing a new package if that doesent work something is broke. | 00:42 |
| vitormiran | OerHeks: i`ve already tried to install in BIOS mode and then use boot repair to convert the installation to uefi mode. but that didn`t worked either. | 00:42 |

| nimbiotics | Hello evry1. I was playing a game (armagetron) and when I exited the game my desktop went to the lowest possible resolution (480x something). I tried changing it, but now I cant' even see my desktop, I use ubuntu studio 13.04 with xfce. Can someone please help me get my desktop back? Thanks! | 00:58 |
| morientz | hi | 00:58 |
| pfifo | nimbiotics: have you tried rebooting? | 00:58 |
| Freze | does anyone know what this does cat > hello.txt << EOF | 00:59 |
| rypervenche | nimbiotics: You can fix it by using xrandr if you know your default resolution. | 00:59 |
| Freze | I'm confused about the << EOF part | 00:59 |
| nimbiotics | pfifo: more than a couple of times | 00:59 |
| FatalPriapism | Ok, back (and on ubuntu now) | 00:59 |
| rypervenche | Freze: It will let you type whatever you want and put it into the file. The last line you need to type "EOF" and then press enter and then it will finish. | 00:59 |
| nimbiotics | rypervenche: what is xrandr? | 00:59 |
| FatalPriapism | So I have ARandR installed, but it's only giving me options for one monitor | 01:00 |
| wilee-nilee | !xrandr | 01:00 |
| ubottu | XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 01:00 |
| rypervenche | nimbiotics: Type "xrandr" in a terminal | 01:00 |
| nimbiotics | rypervenche: i cant even open a terminal, im currently on my windoze boot side | 01:01 |
| Freze | rypervenche, yeah I know that using cat > hello.txt allows me to write in the shell and have that output to hello.txt after i press ^D, but the << EOF confuses me. Why do I need to send EOF as the input to hello.txt and how is that possible. | 01:01 |
| syntroPi | when using dd to create a backup of a block device like this "dd if=/dev/block/platform/sdhci-tegra.3/mmcblk0p1 of=/mnt/sdcard/mmcblk0p1.img" does that read all the bits from that block device into that image even when i dont specify a blocksize? | 01:01 |
| rypervenche | Freze: Instead of pressing ctrl+d you type EOF. IT is just a different way of doing it. | 01:01 |
| Freze | rypervenche, got it! | 01:02 |
| pfifo | syntroPi: yes... also a hint, use 'sync' | 01:02 |

| FatalPriapism | erm...define "C" and "M", assuming t is the letter 't' ? | 01:08 |
| PatrickDickey | Control (C) Meta (Alt) t | 01:08 |
| PatrickDickey | syntroPi: The blocksize command in dd is just how big of a chunk it will grab at one time. The bigger the blksize, the shorter the amount of time it will take to copy an entire drive/partition. | 01:09 |
| seronis | how difficult is it to try an alternative desktop environment without breaking anything currently installed? | 01:09 |
| pfifo | syntroPi: if you use the sync option of dd, and you encounter badblocks, it will pad them with NUL characters, that way your image is the exact size of the original block device ex 'dd if=/dev/sdh7 of=backup.blk noerror sync bs=16K' | 01:09 |
| seronis | ie: im using xfce (xubuntu) currently and want to install KDE to see how it works | 01:10 |
| FatalPriapism | pfifo: no dice...I'm on Ubuntu Studio, apparently they've disabled that binding | 01:10 |

| pfifo | syntroPi: to make sure... run md5sum on the both of them, it should match | 01:11 |
| FatalPriapism | pfifo: tried that, no dice | 01:11 |
| pfifo | FatalPriapism: alt-F2 to get the run dialog | 01:12 |
| FatalPriapism | That worked, but it keeps popping up on the "primary" display...let me try to tweak some settings | 01:13 |
| syntroPi | pfifo, yes thats a good idea, they seem to match | 01:13 |
| PatrickDickey | FatalPriapism: Do you have the proprietary drivers installed? If so, I think in the catalayst Control Centre, it has options for multiple desktops. | 01:13 |

| holstein | Ic3kitten: if windows is broken, and not allowing you to install anything (or, just wubi) then, the wubi wont work | 03:39 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: wubi assumes you can install an application on windows | 03:40 |
| wilee-nilee | nipar, Look for ubuntu stuff and just make sure it is on your release in general, pretty good documentation, only better I have seen is arch or at least comparable. | 03:40 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: you are reporting an error using wubi.exe, and im suggesting that the operating system its self can be the cuase of that error | 03:40 |
| Ic3kitten | holstein: Let try to reinstal AVG, If that works, then only my downloads are affected | 03:40 |
| wilee-nilee | funky, Not really a support question, you can search for freenode channels though | 03:41 |
| surt | psusi: OK my android phone connects to the router at 65mbps, divided by 8 is 8.13MB/s. I'm not expecting that but surely I should have at least half? | 03:41 |
| psusi | surt, but if you are using the 2.4 GHz band instead of the 5 GHz band, you normally do have to explicitly enable the 40 MHz channel width, since that uses up most of the available channels in the 2.4 GHz band | 03:41 |
| psusi | surt, you're transfering from the phone to where? | 03:42 |
| surt | psusi: From the desktop pc to the phone. | 03:42 |
| surt | Via ftp. | 03:42 |
| psusi | surt, is the desktop plugged into the router via ethernet, or is it also wireless? | 03:42 |
| surt | wireless | 03:42 |
| psusi | surt, then you're using up bandwidth transfering to the router first, then to the phone | 03:43 |
| surt | But if that was the case...I'd still get more than 1.5> | 03:43 |
| surt | Wouldn't I? | 03:44 |
| psusi | surt, maybe as much as 4... if everything in the system is operating perfectly | 03:45 |
| psusi | but really more like 2-3 since you do have acknowlegements going back, using up some more time | 03:45 |
| surt | If I'm connected at 100mbps from the pc to the router, then the available bandwidth is roughly 12MB, and about 8MB/s from the router to the phone... | 03:46 |
| Ic3kitten | holstein: My installation of AVG was successful, Wubi should have no problem running, That being said, I have the files on my usb drive AND a 570mb CDRW will either of the work.... Windows states<C:\Users\bill\Desktop\ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386\wubi.exe> C:Users\bill\Desktop\ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386\wubi.exe is not a valid Win32 application. | 03:46 |
| psusi | surt, if you're connecting to the router via ethernet instead of wifi, then yea, should get at least 4 | 03:47 |
| psusi | of course, since one end is an android phone, it could be that you are limited by the ability for the phone to write to its flash | 03:49 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: i dont consider that to be a valid test.. but, it could be | 03:49 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: did you download anothe .exe and try a manual iso? | 03:49 |
| Ic3kitten | MinecraftSP also downloads Java files from the internet to create a new .minecraft folder | 03:50 |
| Ic3kitten | give me an .exe example | 03:50 |
| surt | psusi: OK. So if the server was connected by ethernet, It'd go from 1.5MB to as much as 4? | 03:50 |
| psusi | surt, I'd say so | 03:51 |
| psusi | surt, and of course, this is all assuming there's no radio interference | 03:51 |
| redmaw | holstein trying to get native resolution on my monitor | 03:51 |
| surt | psusi: But not 8 because of up/down stream? | 03:51 |
| nimbiotics | FatalPriapism: I'm back in ubuntu, "killal -9 compiz" did the trick, BUT: I still have to keep executing it AND sometimes it just does not help. will keep on testing THANKS A LOT!!! | 03:52 |
| holstein | redmaw: do you have a custom xorg.conf in place? | 03:52 |
| redmaw | yes | 03:52 |
| Ic3kitten | holstein: one problem may be that my download was 251 MB instead of 700mb for the Ubuntu download | 03:52 |
| psusi | surt, right... some of the time is used sending back acks, and retransmits, more depending on how much interference there is | 03:52 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: i would just get the wubi again.. and check the md5 sum if possible | 03:52 |
| redmaw | trying to add the mode via xrandr but it got added to the wrong connection | 03:52 |
| Ic3kitten | In a .zip / RAR format | 03:52 |
| Ic3kitten | holstein: I will try a few more tests and get back to you, brb | 03:53 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: thats why i say, *dont* use the iso that was downloaded with wubi.. get *just* the wubi.exe.. use a custom iso uyo download and comfirm | 03:53 |
| OerHeks | 251 mb .. that sounds like a bad download | 03:53 |
| OerHeks | ubuntu does not come in zip / rar format | 03:54 |
| Ic3kitten | Uhg!!! ?Can I trouble you to help me fix my download problem instead, and start there | 03:55 |
| OerHeks | redownload the ubuntu iso, i guess | 03:56 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: sure | 03:56 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: download the iso from here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop | 03:57 |
| Ic3kitten | holstein: I.... I am quite sure I did | 03:57 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: if you have a file that is *not* around 800mb's, you dont have it | 03:58 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: dont "guess".. look, and see, then when you dont have an *.iso ,download it from the link | 03:58 |
| Ic3kitten | Thank you, give me an hour or so to re download it | 03:58 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten: follow https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide#How_do_I_download_Wubi.3F ... im just suggestion that you have the iso, and put it in the same directory, and dont let wubi download it | 04:00 |
| hiji | anyone know how to get squidguard to filter http URLS? it filters only https pages :( | 04:00 |
| redmaw | how do you force a resolution? | 04:01 |
| christopher138 | hello all, I am looking for help with Compiz and the "cube" config. Got compiz runnning, currently using proprietary drivers (at radeonn hd 7310), however the cube effect isn't working, and it definitely seems like it's trying to, and then crashes.....wobbly windows, and other effects are working fine | 04:01 |
| redmaw | ubuntu seems dead set on not allowing the resolution I want and I am tired for messing with it. | 04:02 |
| wilee-nilee | christopher138, Check to see about the ci=ube in whatever release you are running it has been changed and is a bit more difficult if even possible. | 04:03 |
| wilee-nilee | cube* | 04:03 |
| Ic3kitten_ | holstein: I am on my father's PC now, Give me the link again | 04:04 |
| redmaw | how come ubuntu does not use my xorg.conf file? | 04:04 |
| holstein | redmaw: a custom xorg.conf might work for you.. have you tried? | 04:04 |
| redmaw | I have the file, ubuntu does not appear to use it | 04:04 |
| varunendra | surt, have you checked the speed on normal downloads/browsing as well, or just ftp transfers? | 04:04 |
| holstein | redmaw: it will, if its "valid" and in the proper place | 04:04 |
| redmaw | it is | 04:04 |
| holstein | !download | Ic3kitten_ | 04:04 |
| ubottu | Ic3kitten_: 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! | 04:04 |
| redmaw | I just modified the original to add a mode | 04:04 |
| yown | If I plan to replace my Ubuntu desktop with Mate, Does it matter at all whether I start with xbuntu or ubuntu as my base? | 04:04 |
| christopher138 | I had a feeling as much, many people said neweer releases dropped a lot of features due to bugs....:( | 04:04 |
| redmaw | xrandr still does not show it and will not let me add that mode | 04:05 |
| holstein | redmaw: there should not have been one.. maybe the nvidia driver installed one for you.. | 04:05 |
| yown | Or is there a way to have ubuntu with mate already installed? | 04:05 |
| redmaw | it did | 04:05 |
| holstein | !minimal > yown | 04:05 |
| ubottu | yown, please see my private message | 04:05 |
| redmaw | I am assuming it was being used after installing the nvidia driver but I could be wrong | 04:05 |
| holstein | yown: but no.. it doesnt matter.. and i dont think ubuntu can use mate out of the box | 04:05 |
| redmaw | I noticed some changes but that could have just been from disabling the nouveau driver | 04:06 |
| redmaw | (module) | 04:06 |
| holstein | redmaw: i have a certain monitor with an nvidia driver. i updated, and the resolution went off.. im just dealing with it "as-is" for now | 04:07 |
| yown | holstein: What do you mean, what do you need to get ubuntu to use mate then? | 04:07 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: there is a ppa, methinks. | 04:07 |
| holstein | yown: i mean, ubuntu *cant* come with mate AFAIK.. so get what you want, and add whatever unsupported source you are going to add.. | 04:07 |
| yown | holstein: But I can install ubuntu, then install mate right away? No prep work required? But then if that were the case, it wouldn't be impossible for ubuntu to come prepacked with mate then | 04:09 |
| wilee-nilee | yown, Prepacked is canonicals area, not ours | 04:09 |
| holstein | yown: maybe cany be supported by ubuntu, so you add whatever ppa, and it'll work as the ppa maintainers intend | 04:10 |
| Ic3kitten_ | .... the download is 251 mb | 04:11 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten_: the iso is not | 04:11 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten_: i dont know what the issue is, but you can use the md5 sums to assure you have an iso | 04:11 |
| Ic3kitten_ | its in a rar folder but the desc says iso | 04:11 |
| holstein | !md5 | 04:12 |
| ubottu | To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 04:12 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten_: no need to put anything in a directory yet.. that is *not* an iso | 04:12 |
| Ic3kitten_ | *chuckles* I'm forgetting to do something arent I | 04:12 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, why don't you just use torrent to download the iso? (www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/alternative-downloads) | 04:14 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: try xubuntu, you may like it :P | 04:15 |
| Ic3kitten_ | Which netboot | 04:15 |
| evilbug | i've made a bootable usb stick via unetbootin on 13.04 but i always get a "disc is corrupted" when attempting to install. this has been the case with iso of arch, ubuntu desktop, ubuntu server. any clues as to where the problem lies? | 04:15 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | also, having difficulty setting up eclipse in ubuntu. installed it via apt-get, but it refuses to launcy | 04:15 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Sure, but based on screenshots it seems to be missing some of the things I want in a DE. It doesn't have that top bar, and it puts all its menus into one like windows does | 04:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | *launch, gives me an error log about not being able to open a zip file | 04:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: xubuntus xfce desktop is highly configurable | 04:16 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, not netboot, the torrents on that page (if you were asking me.. ;) ) | 04:16 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: exactly what are you looking for? | 04:17 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Is it complex to configure it? Is there a downloadable configuration that will give it all the functionality and layout of gnome 2 without days of work? | 04:17 |
| Ic3kitten_ | Thank you, now how do I open a torrent lmao | 04:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | something like the old gnome desktop, I presume? | 04:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | Ic3kitten_: you need a torrent client. deluge or transmission for ubuntu, utorrent for windows :P | 04:18 |
| holstein | !install | Ic3kitten_ | 04:18 |
| ubottu | Ic3kitten_: Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate | 04:18 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Basically gnome 2, I like applications places systems, actually, I wish there were more of them. I like having a second bar to put application shortcuts and for time date | 04:18 |
| wilee-nilee | evilbug, Have you checked the sums of the ISO's | 04:18 |
| Ic3kitten_ | Links my friends, I am excellent with links | 04:18 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, you need a torrent client like utorrent on windows, or transmission on Ubuntu. | 04:18 |
| holstein | !download > Ic3kitten_ | 04:18 |
| ubottu | Ic3kitten_, please see my private message | 04:18 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: mine has a setup like this, I set mine up to mimic gnome2 as I like it alot too :P | 04:19 |
| Ic3kitten_ | I have a file ending in .iso.torrent | 04:19 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Is there a download or something that will do the work of setting it up like gnome2 for you? | 04:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: see my screenshot: http://imagebin.org/262941 | 04:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: its super easy, lol. | 04:19 |
| evilbug | wilee-nilee: i haven't, no. | 04:20 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, yes, that's perfect. Now install a torrent client like utorrtnt to use that .torrent file to do the actual download. | 04:20 |
| Ic3kitten_ | :) | 04:20 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Doesnt seem super easy, and I only see 1 bar and two menu trees in that picture | 04:20 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: yes, I realize it lacks gnome2's last menu tree, and I only have one bar by choice. you can place as many as you want :P | 04:21 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, www.utorrent.com/ (for windows, Ubuntu already has "transmission") | 04:21 |
| Ic3kitten_ | I hope, my own searches give me the right link to Utorrent my friend because I would rather not download a virus onto my Father's pricy PC | 04:21 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, see the link I gave ;) | 04:22 |
| holstein | Ic3kitten_: you stated the PC already had a virus | 04:22 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: And you can easily add app shortcuts on one bar while another one handles active open windows? | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | evilbug, I would do that, and check the usb for problems or try another, or at least reformat it. Sounds a bit like the usb with that many fails. | 04:22 |
| varunendra | lol | 04:22 |
| Ic3kitten_ | I see I see give me a moment | 04:22 |
| Ic3kitten_ | XD | 04:22 |
| evilbug | wilee-nilee: thing is i've reformated it every time to fat32. | 04:22 |
| Ic3kitten_ | You guys are epic, I cannot stop laughing at this XD | 04:23 |
| Ic3kitten_ | So easy | 04:23 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: The most time consuming aspect would be moving all the different apps to what ever menu trees you made, and for that matter, knowing where to place them, since I want it to be exactly like gnome 2, not because that particular layout is best, but because the uniformity makes finding things easier | 04:23 |
| Ari-Yang | lets say I put a .bin file in /lib/firmware/radeon to get kernel patches to work. I can always remove it when I'm done testing and it won't cause any harm, yes? | 04:23 |
| wilee-nilee | evilbug, Does not mean it is not problematic we have to somewhat guess and knock out variables. | 04:23 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, so did the download start ? | 04:24 |
| yown | I mean if others have the same layout, I can find online where stuff is put | 04:24 |
| Ic3kitten_ | Moments my friends, I will have answers in a few minutes | 04:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: xubuntu uses alacarte to build menus, a gnome menu and xfce menu should look 99% the same | 04:24 |
| redmaw | holstein, figured out what my problem was. Turns out when sent my laptop in for repair (gpu died) HP downgraded my screen free of charge. | 04:25 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, a torrent download is guaranteed to be full and intact when the client shows it as "Finished". It is usually faster download too. :) | 04:25 |
| holstein | redmaw: excellent.. so you have no problem then :) | 04:25 |
| evilbug | wilee-nilee: i'll check the md5 and try another drive. | 04:25 |
| Ic3kitten_ | It was | 04:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: I'm supposing you like how the gnome2 menu grouped things by category, no? | 04:25 |
| redmaw | not with linux at least. dealing with HP is going to suck. | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | evilbug, That makes sense, good luck. ;) | 04:25 |
| evilbug | wilee-nilee: thank you. | 04:26 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem. | 04:26 |
| domino14 | hi, i disabled my root account with passwd -dl root | 04:27 |
| Ic3kitten_ | Im converting the torrent at the moment | 04:27 |
| domino14 | can i re-enable it? i can't do anything anymore | 04:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | domino14: root is disabled by default on ubuntu | 04:27 |
| wheatthin | domino14, even using sudo? | 04:27 |
| domino14 | i can't use sudo because it says i'm not in the sudoers file | 04:28 |
| domino14 | right, i set up a vm on digital ocean | 04:28 |
| wheatthin | domino14, hmm default user should be sudo | 04:28 |
| domino14 | and i was trying to set it up with a new user, etc | 04:28 |
| domino14 | i made a new user | 04:28 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: I like having 3 main menu trees rather then 1, because it makes it less work accessing the particular menues, and there is plenty of screen real-estate for 3 menus instead of 1 | 04:28 |
| domino14 | so maybe it didnt add it to sudoers | 04:28 |
| wheatthin | and then deleted the older one? | 04:28 |
| that1guy | I was wondering if there was any way I could "stretch" my display area. I'm outputting HMDI to an LCD tv, and there's a good 1/2 in black gap boarder around my display. | 04:28 |
| domino14 | wheatthin: no, the only user on the digital ocean vm was "root" | 04:28 |
| wheatthin | so login as the original one and put yourself in sudoers | 04:28 |
| wheatthin | hmm | 04:29 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, just for sake of knowledge, you don't actually 'convert' a torrent. It is just an information file that tells the client what to download and from where. | 04:29 |
| domino14 | i can't log in as root anymore because i did passwd -dl root | 04:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: yeah, I getcha, but I only managed two atm :P | 04:29 |
| holstein | domino14: the recovery console has a root shell you can work from | 04:29 |
| holstein | !root > domino14 | 04:29 |
| ubottu | domino14, please see my private message | 04:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | domino14: you shouldn't login as root unless you know *exactly* what you are doing, and no offense but this seems to not be the case here. | 04:29 |
| domino14 | okay | 04:30 |
| Ic3kitten_ | Ah, the technicalities right? | 04:30 |
| domino14 | it gave me a default root password | 04:30 |
| domino14 | what am i supposed to log in as? | 04:30 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | if you're using ubuntu it did not. | 04:30 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Don't you manually have to assign each program to a menu location if I were to manually set up xfce like gnome 2? | 04:30 |
| holstein | domino14: what gave you a default root password? | 04:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | in ubuntu ther *is* *no* *root* *password* *by* *default* | 04:31 |
| Ic3kitten_ | I appreciate all your time and effort my friends, Thank you | 04:31 |
| domino14 | god damn it | 04:31 |
| holstein | !language | domino14 | 04:31 |
| ubottu | domino14: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 04:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | !root | domino14 | 04:31 |
| ubottu | domino14: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:31 |
| TheLordOfTime | just an FYI there. | 04:31 |
| domino14 | 1) I made a new VM on Digital Ocean | 04:31 |
| domino14 | 2) It sent me an email with a *root* password | 04:31 |
| holstein | domino14: if you have a root password, you likely installed something other than ubuntu.. a derivitive | 04:31 |
| varunendra | Ic3kitten_, we enjoy it here :) | 04:31 |
| holstein | domino14: then, you need to contact digital ocean for support | 04:32 |
| domino14 | it was ubuntu 13.04. they probably just added a root password to it | 04:32 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: nah, it comes with a default applications menu in the upper left corner, and you can add the places menu quite simply | 04:32 |
| holstein | domino14: that is a customized ubuntu from them | 04:32 |
| Ic3kitten_ | I can see that ;) | 04:32 |
| holstein | domino14: there should be a recvery console, assuming you are able to access that | 04:32 |
| holstein | domino14: if not, you will need to get them to "fix" the account for you.. since it is *not* stock ubuntu | 04:32 |
| domino14 | yes; i got them to send me a new root password. thanks | 04:33 |
| that1guy | I was wondering if there was any way I could "stretch" my display area. I'm outputting HDMI to an LCD tv, and there's a good 1/2 in black gap boarder around my display. | 04:33 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: But if I were to add a places and system menu, I would have to manually move everything over to those two to make it like gnome 2? Or is there a "gnome 2" layout option that does it for you? I don't see any other alternatives and you arent naming any | 04:33 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !patience | that1guy | 04:33 |
| ubottu | that1guy: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 04:33 |
| domino14 | !nanny | 04:34 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: no. adding places menu to the bar includes all your gtk-bookmarks and your default user dirs (music, pictures, etc) | 04:34 |
| that1guy | If it helps, I switch resolutions, and the gap is still there. ATI radeon 7310. proprietary drivers. | 04:34 |
| JesseH | Is anyone else having issues logging in to login.ubuntu.com? | 04:34 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: And what about system? | 04:35 |
| pfifo | !xrandr | that1guy | 04:35 |
| ubottu | that1guy: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 04:35 |
| pfifo | that1guy: it means X resize and rotate, i think youll benefit from the resize part | 04:35 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: on that matter I know not. the applications menu has a system section containing the normal stuffs | 04:36 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: So that could be shifted over whole piece to be next to places like in gnome 2? | 04:38 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: maybe, idk. personally 2 menus is fine for me, but I'm sure you could do it with a second applications menu with a custom menu file | 04:38 |
| aringan | I am running an image of ubuntu 12.04 for the first time. and I don't know the root password. when I am trying to use sudo it wants the password ! | 04:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: in fact, for your benefit I'll see abou it | 04:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | aringan: there is no root password. !root | aringan | 04:40 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: What do you mean by custom menu file? Why a second applications menu? Couldn't the systems menu just be pulled out of applications and put next to places? | 04:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: like I said, Idk. never felt the need to do so. | 04:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !root | aringan | 04:40 |
| ubottu | aringan: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 04:40 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | aringan: now, if you give it your *user* password while using sudo (assuming an administrative accoung) this will fill your needs | 04:41 |
| === harrymoreno_ is now known as harrymoreno | ||
| aringan | the problem is it wants the password | 04:44 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | aringan: give it the password you set to your account on installing it. | 04:44 |
| aringan | I typed sudo apt-get install vim | 04:44 |
| bazhang | aringan, the actual password will NOT show up as stars, or at all | 04:44 |
| aringan | it is an image | 04:45 |
| aringan | I didn't make any passwords | 04:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | aringan: so you're on a live cd?\ | 04:45 |
| aringan | it's vm | 04:45 |
| aringan | virtual machin | 04:45 |
| pfifo | aringan: try leaving it blank | 04:45 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | then why are you installing vim on a live session? you realize it will just vanish on reboot, correct? | 04:45 |
| aringan | I did | 04:45 |
| aringan | it won't work | 04:46 |
| pfifo | aringan: try the username | 04:46 |
| aringan | the username is user | 04:47 |
| aringan | and it's not working | 04:47 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: So any luck? | 04:47 |
| pfifo | aringan: where did you get this image? | 04:48 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: I have a 3rd menu for system now, seeing about editing it | 04:48 |
| holstein | aringan: who made the image? you'll need to ask them for the password you are indtended to use | 04:48 |

| zhangll | Excuse,I want to find a software like "visualsvn server" on ubuntu ,is anyone know? | 04:49 |
| aringan | I just downloaded | 04:49 |
| holstein | zhangll: what task are you wanting to do? | 04:49 |
| holstein | aringan: sure.. from where? | 04:49 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | zhangll: apt-cache show <software> should help you | 04:49 |
| aringan | ohh yeah | 04:50 |
| aringan | I got it | 04:50 |
| aringan | http://www.trendsigma.net/vmware/ubuntu1204.html | 04:50 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: What do you mean editing it? I thought you said it was already filled with all the gnome 2 menu content, so can't you simply move it from applications? | 04:50 |
| zhangll | I want to manager the svn Repositories in ubuntu on GUI,not console | 04:50 |
| aringan | thansk | 04:51 |
| aringan | thanks | 04:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: the *applications* menu does, but you want something custom, so it must be *customized* | 04:51 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | one thing you must learn, if default is not good enough you better be ready to do some work yourself. | 04:51 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Is there a system sub menu within applications that is setup like systems is setup in gnome 2? | 04:51 |
| pfifo | aringan: yeah, the password is 'password' :) | 04:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: as I've stated, yes, there is a system submenu within the applications menu | 04:52 |
| varunendra | aringan, what is the username? You can reset the pasword from "Recovery mode". | 04:52 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Can't you simply move it out of applications and onto the bar directly? | 04:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | varunendra: live cd, not possible here. | 04:52 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: as I've stated before, no. | 04:53 |
| varunendra | ntzrmtthihu777, I think they said "vm image"?? | 04:53 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: a little listening will save you a *lot* of asking. | 04:53 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: So it requires manually deleting systems in application and manually building a new systems menu on the bar, 1 program at a time? | 04:53 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: not one at a time, you could copy over the default menu file and mod it pretty easily. (its just an xml file) | 04:54 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Have you tried Mate? Do you know how it compares to xfce? | 04:55 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: yes, I have tried mate in lite of the travesty of unity, but there are far too many duplicate programs, lol. I can't recall them all, but basically almost every default ubuntu program has a mate spin, requireing you to uninstall the defaults or the spins, its a huge pita | 04:57 |
| holstein | yown: xfce support is ongoing.. mate is supported now, but for how much longer? | 04:57 |
| bazhang | !info mate | 04:58 |
| ubottu | Package mate does not exist in raring | 04:58 |
| yown | holstein: What makes you think Mate support will stop? | 04:58 |
| bazhang | holstein, it is? | 04:58 |
| bazhang | !info cinnamon | 04:58 |
| ubottu | cinnamon (source: cinnamon): Innovative and comfortable desktop. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7.4-1 (raring), package size 607 kB, installed size 2460 kB | 04:58 |
| bazhang | holstein, perhaps you mean cinnamon | 04:58 |
| holstein | yown: if no one can adopt it | 04:59 |
| holstein | bazhang: nah.. i knew we had gotten cinammon.. but AFAIK, we cant have mate.. but, maybe that changes | 04:59 |
| yown | holstein: Adopt it to what? It IS compatible with Ubuntu , so doesn't need adopting | 04:59 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: he means adopt it to maintain it, I think. | 05:00 |
| yown | Well that is what I read online, and what I was recently told by someone in the mate channel | 05:00 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: I don't understand "adopt it to maintain it" | 05:00 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: don't get me wrong, mate is alright, but honestly you'd be better off with something like mint+mate | 05:00 |
| holstein | yown: no doubt you *can* use mate in ubuntu, and are welcome to.. but i wouldnt expect an official spin anytime soon, and im not sure if it will make it in the repos or not | 05:00 |
| holstein | yown: if you are asking if mate is "good", or "better" than xfce, thats really a matter of opinion.. xfce is in the default repos, and supported.. mate is not.. that doest mean you cant use mate though | 05:01 |
| yown | holstein: I think you can add its PPA to update mate? I was told in Mate channel that Mate is equally compatible with Mint and Ubuntu | 05:01 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: what is your current *buntu you want to install mate onto? | 05:02 |
| holstein | yown: sure.. but its not supported here, or by ubuntu.. so you are on your own with it | 05:02 |
| holstein | yown: again, you *can* use mate with ubuntu, and should, if thats what you like.. but its not supported officially | 05:02 |
| yown | holstein: Supported by whom? I think there are people who are working on mate who support it. | 05:02 |
| bazhang | yown, supported here | 05:03 |
| holstein | yown: here.. in this, or any official ubuntu support venue | 05:03 |
| bazhang | yown, if it screws up, contact the PPA maintainer, NOT here | 05:03 |
| yown | Well wouldn't issues of DE problems be pretty independent of other issues anyway? | 05:03 |

| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Duplicate programs? Forcing uninstalls? I don't follow, perhaps you can give me a example? | 05:07 |

| yown | If I wanted to have the latest version of ubuntu with xfce or mate, and my current version is a ancient 11.10, is it better to install new? But how do I easily move all my data over? Should I install over? Should I install fresh?(how do I easily move) should I do it in a series of upgrades? | 05:12 |
| bazhang | !eolupgrades | yown | 05:12 |
| ubottu | yown: 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 | 05:12 |
| Noskcaj | When i run testdrive-gtk the bug appears. It's in a developement branch, but the developers don't do much maintenance anymore, so i need to find what is going wrong | 05:13 |
| holstein | yown: you should have your data backed up anyway, since *all* hard drives fail .. i would just do a fresh install of 13.04 or 12.04 | 05:13 |

| yown | holstein: why 12.4? | 05:15 |
| holstein | Noskcaj: whats the behavior? is it not working? | 05:15 |
| holstein | yown: 12.04.. and 12.04 is what i suggested because it is the latest long term support | 05:15 |
| holstein | !12.04 > yown | 05:15 |
| ubottu | yown, please see my private message | 05:15 |
| Noskcaj | holstein, issue is, the maintainers (roaxsoax and kirland) have got other stuff to do, so i'm trying to get kylin into testdrive | 05:15 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: you should, first off, always have a separate /home partition. this makes moving data between versions and distros | 05:15 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | *easier | 05:16 |
| holstein | Noskcaj: what is kylin? | 05:16 |
| Noskcaj | holstein, UbuntuKYLIN | 05:16 |
| bazhang | Noskcaj, they should have a support channel | 05:16 |
| Gilligan94 | Hiya guys, how is everyone? | 05:16 |
| bazhang | !ask | Gilligan94 | 05:17 |
| ubottu | Gilligan94: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 05:17 |
| Gilligan94 | I was wondering if anyone knew where I should go for Bumblebee support | 05:17 |
| unsecur3d | Ok guys, i got ubuntu 13 trying to connect on a share on a win server 2003, win7 and winxp and it wont connect, getting connection timed out | 05:17 |
| Gilligan94 | bazhang: jeez, I was just being polite | 05:17 |
| orangerobot | what's the easiest way to add a second monitor to my ubuntu setup? i have two vga input sockets but apparently only one is used (i think most DELL pcs are like that). is there a way to make the other vga socket usable, or i should try a different approach? | 05:17 |
| bazhang | holstein, its the Mainland Chinese branch of Ubuntu | 05:17 |
| unsecur3d | even if i try it with smbclient it wont connect | 05:17 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: as in the default ubuntu text editor is gedit, mate has its own thing. same thing with many other default ubuntu programs | 05:18 |
| holstein | bazhang: i found a wiki page.. but no support links | 05:18 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: And when would that force someone to uninstall something? And where is the duplication involved? | 05:18 |
| holstein | yown: with mate.. there could be issues | 05:19 |
| yown | an example please | 05:19 |
| yown | of one of these issues | 05:19 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: because gedit and the mate version are almost exactly the same, barring name differences, so why have both on the same system? it would be like having a host of programs installed twice, wasting twice the spatce. | 05:19 |
| yown | So 13.4 doesn't have long term support, but its just as stable, right? Long term support only matter if you aren't going to upgrade, and there is usually no reason not to upgrade, right? | 05:20 |
| holstein | yown: i would read the links.. the long term support is suppported longer | 05:20 |
| bazhang | Noskcaj, #ubuntukylin-devel | 05:20 |
| Noskcaj | thanks bazhang | 05:21 |
| yown | holstein: Short term support, has long enough support that it covers till the next upgrade comes out though, right? | 05:22 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: yeah, lts is supported 3 years, as opposed to 1.5 for non lts releases. 12.04, in fact, has 5 year support. | 05:22 |
| bazhang | ntzrmtthihu777, five years | 05:23 |
| yown | Right, so why worry about having long term support if you are going to keep upgrading as new comes out anyway? | 05:23 |
| bazhang | ntzrmtthihu777, and NINE months for non lts | 05:23 |
| holstein | yown: its a choice.. the long term suppport is supported longer, and the new ones are newer | 05:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bazhang: is that not what I said? < ntzrmtthihu> | yown: yeah, lts is supported 3 years, as opposed to 1.5 for non lts releases. 12.04, in fact, has 5 year support. | 05:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !lts > ntzrmtthihu777 | 05:23 |
| ubottu | ntzrmtthihu777, please see my private message | 05:23 |
| holstein | yown: dont over think it.. just pick one and try it.. *anything* will be more supported and newer than what you have | 05:23 |
| OerHeks | how about 9 months for 13.04 ? | 05:23 |
| pfifo | 1.5 years = 18 months | 05:23 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | I'm pretty sure its 1.5years for non-lts... | 05:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | but, I could be mistaken. | 05:24 |
| bazhang | ntzrmtthihu777, 13.04 has nine months. 12.04 has 5 years for all versions. why the mention of 3 years / 1.5 years at all | 05:24 |
| holstein | !13.04 | 05:24 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) is the current release of Ubuntu. Download http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ - Release notes: http://ubuntu.com/getubuntu/releasenotes/13.04 | 05:24 |
| bazhang | ntzrmtthihu777, you are mistaken, yes | 05:24 |
| yown | If you keep upgrading, you will not lack support because even short term comes with more then enough support. So the question is, is there ever a reason to not upgrade? I mean most all the new versions are stable and reliable the moment they come out, right? (long or short term support) | 05:24 |
| OerHeks | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RaringRingtail/ReleaseNotes#Support_lifespan_reduced | 05:24 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bazhang: because non precise lts is by default 3 years. | 05:25 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | !lts | 05:25 |
| ubottu | 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) | 05:25 |
| bazhang | ntzrmtthihu777, nine months, as I just said | 05:25 |
| yown | And upgrades come out every 2 years, which means 9 months is like almost twice as long as someone upgrading every time needs. | 05:26 |
| holstein | yown: they are just newer versions.. they are tested, and released... "stable" can also be a matter of opinion, or use case | 05:26 |
| pfifo | yown: I use LTS for development, I like that it doesnt get updated too often, I dont have to incorprate ubuntu's changes into my own stuff nearly as often. (reason not to upgrade) | 05:26 |
| OerHeks | "upgrades" come out every 6 months * | 05:26 |
| holstein | yown: as i said, either is going to be "better" for you than what you have, since you are in an EOL distro | 05:26 |
| bazhang | yeah thats confusing | 05:26 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: and quite frankly I've never heard a good update story, all end in a reinstall, so you should likely stick with something for a good while | 05:26 |
| bazhang | ntzrmtthihu777, thats simply not correct. all do NOT end in a reinstall | 05:27 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | bazhang: it *is* correct, as I was speaking from *my* experience. | 05:28 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Hmmm? https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades suggests that its not nearly as unreliable | 05:28 |
| bazhang | ntzrmtthihu777, dont advise that here | 05:28 |
| varunendra | bazhang, not all, but most I've seen do. | 05:28 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | *I* Have never geard a good update story, not "it never works" | 05:28 |
| pfifo | varunendra: people dont hop on the channel to say their upgrade went smoothly | 05:28 |
| yown | What happens on failure to upgrade? | 05:28 |
| yown | Is it usually easy to revert back? | 05:29 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: likely a reinstall, as I stated. I've found that a separate /home, and a manual editing of fstab, to be the most reliable method. | 05:29 |
| yown | ntzrmtthihu777: Are you saying that a failed upgrade can result in a FBAR OS? | 05:31 |
| varunendra | pfifo, bazhang once you've installed something proprietary, or from PPAs, a distribution upgrade is most *probably* going to break. I don't see anything wrong about warning people in advance about that. | 05:31 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: its happened to me before, going from 12.04 to .10 | 05:31 |
| holstein | yown: you should have backups before doing either since normal use can result in a machine that is broken | 05:32 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | varunendra: all things wear out eventually. law of the universe. | 05:38 |
| holstein | varunendra: scary? or true?.. either way... all drives fail | 05:38 |
| yown | holstein: Well HDD rarely just fail without any kind of warning. Anyway fine, but how do I tell if my home is on a separate partition or not, and if it isn't, how do I make it so | 05:39 |

| varunendra | yeah, but given the confusing state yown is in, it may sound like the installation/upgrade is going to do that... lol | 05:39 |
| ntzrmtthihu777 | yown: in-install you cant generally do it, but on a new install you can do it with the installer's partitioner | 05:39 |
| holstein | yown: it dosnt matter if it is or not, if you dont unerstand how to use it.. you just need to backup what you want to keep.. | 05:40 |

| varunendra | yown, take a look at clonezilla. It will create a bcakup image of your entire installation. Save it to an external drive. | 05:42 |
| holstein | yown: your /home folder is what ntzrmtthihu777 is saying to keep on a seperate patition, to make it easier to backup and upgrade | 05:42 |

| ntzrmtthihu777 | On3453v3n: likely, but it would likely have to use a command :p | 05:43 |

| zykotick9 | yown: that probably not the "best" way, but it should work. | 06:24 |
| yown | zykotick9: Then what is the best way? | 06:24 |
| zykotick9 | yown: i'd guess there is some way to modify it with a tool, like adduser or something... but if it was me - i'd just edit /etc/passwd | 06:25 |

| lotuspsychje | yown: both :p | 06:29 |
| varunendra | yown, zykotick9 that file (/etc/passwd) is a logical description of properties and locations pertaining to different users, not 'physical' location of where those settings are stored or read from | 06:30 |
| jokerdino | bazhang: optional meaning it is not installed by default? i believe it is available in live media (just like gparted). I just want to confirm whether or not it gets removed while ubuntu is installed. | 06:30 |
| yown | Know anything about moving home from same partition as OS to a new one? I think I got most of it, but I am still slightly unclear on it all | 06:30 |
| varunendra | yown, all you need is to edit the line in /etc/fstab file. That's all. | 06:31 |
| hays | is there a command to clean out old kernels | 06:31 |
| varunendra | yown, it doesn't matter what is the name or 'label' of the partition that you are intending to mount as /home. Once mounted, it will be recognised as '/home' by the OS | 06:32 |
| hays | grub has like 10 kernels | 06:32 |
| lotuspsychje | hays: i use ubuntu-tweak to cleanout all kind of stuff in system | 06:32 |
| varunendra | hays, you can manually remove (purge) the older ones that you don't want (linux-image and headers). You can use synaptic or apt-get command to do that. | 06:33 |
| hays | varunendra: what package do you remove/purge? | 06:35 |

| yown | I mean varunendra | 06:36 |
| === rosco_away is now known as rosco_y | ||
| varunendra | yown, your current line in /etc/fstab contains a line about /home/data right? | 06:37 |
| yown | yes | 06:37 |
| yown | and? | 06:39 |
| varunendra | so if you just delete the last "/data" part, it will become the mount point for /home. (the same partition). Make sure you have copied everything that appears in your Home (including the hidden file/folders) into that partition. | 06:39 |
| varunendra | oh, wait.. yown | 06:40 |
| varunendra | please show me the contents of your /etc/fstab again, yown | 06:40 |
| yown | http://pastebin.com/HtQXErUH | 06:40 |
| yown | If home is on a new partition, shouldn't the new partitions address be put into that fstab file? | 06:41 |
| varunendra | yown, you have to copy everything from the current /home to that partition (that you are currently accessing from the /data folder in your Home). | 06:42 |
| varunendra | yes, if it is going to be a new partition, the address should be changed to reflect it. | 06:43 |

| Ari-Yang | join #mplayer ..... | 07:01 |
| yown | varunendra: I knew that already. I was wondering about assigning it as official home. Though about that step, do make a folder called home in the new partition and put the home data in there? | 07:01 |
| Ari-Yang | raven, perhaps check your mplayer .config file? | 07:01 |
| raven | Ari-Yang, its exactly the same on both systems | 07:02 |
| yown | raven: you mean aspect ratio? there is menu options to change that | 07:02 |
| Ari-Yang | raven, I'm going afk, good luck. | 07:03 |
| raven | yown, no i set geometry and screensize to 320x240 but in there is a video zoomed | 07:03 |
| varunendra | yown, no. /home is an inherent part of all unix-based operating systems' filesystems. It doesn't have to be created separately. Think of it a just a name that the OS itself will create anyway. The mountpoint (optional) is just a physical location that will be used to put or read stuff that it has to contain. | 07:04 |
| varunendra | Soru, /home is just a logical location. The partition you will be mounting in it will be its physical location (that does not necessarily have to be a physical location, it's optional) | 07:06 |
| varunendra | * yown | 07:06 |
| varunendra | yown, do you think I understood your question correctly? or answered what you wanted to clear ? :P | 07:08 |
| yown | varunendra: So how do I properly copy the files over then? | 07:08 |
| yown | I think so, basically, no folder called "home" is necessary | 07:08 |
| yown | but I could do it with a home folder if i wanted to? | 07:08 |
| varunendra | yown, I'm a paranoid about these things, so I'd use a live session to do the copy-paste :) | 07:09 |
| varunendra | Make sure you have enabled "view hidden files" when you do that. | 07:09 |
| varunendra | yown, it is also recommended to use UUID instead of generic names like /dev/sda2 | 07:10 |
| yown | varunendra: Live session means? | 07:10 |
| varunendra | Ubuntu running from a live cd/usb. | 07:10 |
| varunendra | Although that shouldn't be needed in any linux based os, but like I said - I'm paranoid ;) | 07:11 |
| yown | varunendra: If "home" isn't a folder in a directory address, why does it list as such in the fstab file? | 07:12 |
| varunendra | By default it is not mentioned in fstab. Only when you create it separately. | 07:13 |
| === rosco_y is now known as rosco_away | ||
| yown | varunendra: But I need to edit fstab to make it my new official home address, but what do I need to edit into it to do so? and do I use a directory address that has home in it, even if the data isn't in a folder called home? | 07:15 |
| varunendra | yown, you don't need anything be already named as "home". It is the mount point name that it will be recognised by, once mounted. It can be any partition or block device. | 07:18 |
| blib | how can I set username+password + create account using a one liner bash - (completely automatically please) | 07:18 |
| varunendra | yown, I'm having difficulty in understanding this part of your question - "do I use a directory address that has home in it, even if the data isn't in a folder called home?" | 07:18 |
| varunendra | the second part, yown | 07:19 |
| yown | varunendra: And you have similarly confused/lost me on a number of things you have said. How about we go back to my previous question. What do I edit to what in fstab to change homes location? | 07:20 |
| varunendra | yown, I was feeling that :P | 07:20 |
| varunendra | :) let's have an example.. | 07:20 |
| aeon-ltd | blib: you mean to store as a script? because that script would be absolutely useless | 07:21 |
| === rosco_away is now known as rosco_y | ||
| blib | aeon-ltd: I'm trying to automate the creation of my ubuntu VM. I would like to code up a username and password into it. | 07:22 |
| varunendra | yown, if you edit the current line in /etc/fstab (/dev/sda2...) to remove the "/yown/data" part, it will become the new 'official' /home for your OS. But you will have to manually copy everything from your current /home, into it. | 07:22 |
| varunendra | yown, the edited line in this case will become : "/dev/sda2 /home ext4 defaults 0 0" | 07:23 |
| varunendra | yown, are we clear on this so far..?? | 07:23 |

| varunendra | yown, it is currently exactly the same thing as the "data" folder in your Home. | 07:28 |
| wilee-nilee | mordonez, Have you upgraded the kernel from stock? | 07:28 |
| mordonez | I am using the last version the guide has | 07:29 |
| mordonez | 3.10.0-rc1pixel+ | 07:29 |
| varunendra | yown, but when using the live cd/usb, you will see it as a separate partition. In that case (live session), your "data" folder will appear empty (as it is just a location to mount the partition). | 07:29 |
| yown | varunendra: I don't know what you meant by that last thing you said. My last question was a yes/no question btw | 07:29 |

| wilee-nilee | mordonez, Not really. | 07:32 |
| yown | so its hard for me to be absolutely sure | 07:32 |
| mordonez | Do you think it has something to do with xorg versions? | 07:32 |
| varunendra | YeahRight, because you are used to that kind of structure (windows) :D | 07:32 |

| aeon-ltd | mordonez: what are your options for changing res? | 07:35 |
| varunendra | okay, then understand that all the data that appears in it is actually on the partition /dev/sda2. Everything else in your Home (and /home of the os) is on the same partition on which Ubuntu itself is installed. | 07:36 |
| varunendra | yown, ^ | 07:36 |

| === e_t__ is now known as e_t_ | ||
| yown | I am waiting for the answer to my question, I thought | 07:37 |
| varunendra | yown, yes and that's what I'm doing.. If you do the edit that I told above in fstab, everything in the current /home of the installation will become part of that partition. You will have to manually copy over the stuff. Now I guess you are confused about "how to recognise that /dev/sda2" ? | 07:40 |
| wilee-nilee | ludwig___, I would run gksudo nautilus and navigate to the desktop and delete it. | 07:40 |
| varunendra | that can be tricky sometimes when using live session. | 07:40 |
| yown | varunendra: How do I determine the address to put into fstab for to point it to the new partition with the "home" content? | 07:40 |
| varunendra | yown, it is /dev/sda2 in the current installation. But it can appear differently from the live session. That's why I recommended to use UUID instead of /dev/sda2. | 07:42 |
| yown | varunendra: How can you tell me what the address of a partition I haven't even made yet? | 07:43 |
| yown | is | 07:43 |
| varunendra | yown, I thought you were planning to use the same /dev/sda2 partition for home. I even asked you that.. | 07:44 |

| varunendra | yown, you won't see the /dev/sda partition separately, because you are currently mounting it 'inside' your data folder. | 07:47 |
| yown | varunendra: I asked you this before, do I go by the address listed for the partition in gformat? | 07:48 |
| varunendra | yown, short answer - yes. | 07:49 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | abhinav12 this wiki as well is helpful | 07:50 |
| ubottu | abhinav12 this wiki as well is helpful: 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 | 07:50 |
| yown | varunendra: How do I use/determine the UUID if I were to use that instead? And I want to use UUID because the other address can be different inside the regular OS verses outside like in a new install or a live? | 07:51 |
| varunendra | yown, use the "sudo blkid" command to get the UUIDs. And yes, the generic addresses (/dev/sdxx) can be different from different sessions (live session, different installation...) | 07:53 |
| varunendra | yown, instead of "/dev/sda<whatever>", you will have to use "UUID=<whatever it is for that partition>" in fstab. An example is just above the 2nd last line in your file | 07:54 |
| yown | varunendra: So I use UUID= the numbers within the parenthesis for the address to the partition in ftstab? Do I use the parenthesis themselves? | 07:55 |
| levo | error while starting google chrome: /usr/bin/google-chrome: error while loading shared libraries: libXss.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory | 07:56 |
| levo | whatis 'the solution? | 07:56 |
| varunendra | yown, yes, use the numbers. And NOT the parenthesis or quotes. Follow the example in your fstab file. | 07:56 |
| yown | varunendra: so " UUID=1e8ea1f1-4065-414b-8724-c23425fe903e "? | 07:58 |
| yown | for example | 07:58 |
| tannji | not to step on anyone's toes... but here is an example guide for moving /home... https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving | 07:58 |

| tannji | I will be doing the same in a few days to get rid of win7 and better use my ssd's... | 08:01 |
| varunendra | tannji, I'd recommend to create a set of backup DVDs before purging win7. After all, you have paid for that thing ;) | 08:02 |
| tannji | lol, I have an iso of win7 pro, office 10 ultimate... and a few extra keys laying around... dont anticipate needing tho | 08:03 |

| raven | rc.local does not run - how to find out the error? | 08:04 |
| tannji | yown, read on... that wasnt the directions, but a summary of what you do... the step by step will explain it | 08:04 |
| yown | tannji: Sure, but I also had trouble matching the summery with the more specific instructions | 08:05 |
| tannji | as far as naming it /media/home... that is the same as naming two version of one file #1 and #2.... you have a copy, and one is /media so you can tell the difference | 08:05 |
| yown | naming the partition media/home? | 08:06 |
| tannji | naming the back-up of /home, not the partition | 08:07 |
| yown | I thought the partition itself was /home , so I don't understand what we would be naming | 08:07 |
| tannji | lol | 08:08 |
| yown | You mean put the data in a directory of that name in the partition? | 08:08 |
| tannji | ok.... you make a partition... and /home will be placed in it.... the name doesnt matter at this point | 08:08 |

| tannji | ok.... at the beginning you partion your second drive.... done that? | 08:11 |
| === Hyasttehtuin is now known as Bestial0r | ||
| tannji | yown, have you already used gparted or fdisk to prepare a drive for your new /home? | 08:13 |
| yown | tannji: You mean making the partition it would go on? Why? | 08:14 |
| tannji | yown, you have to prepare the spot you are putting it before you put it there | 08:15 |
| yown | tannji: I know that | 08:15 |
| tannji | yown, ok, I misunderstood your question then | 08:16 |
| yown | tannji: Of course I need to make the partition it would go on, before I can move it to that partition, I fail to understand why you are telling me such a painfully obvious thing | 08:16 |
| yown | What exactly is to be named "media/home"? | 08:17 |
| tannji | yown, the step that copies you /home also names the copy /media/home, so that you and ubuntu can tell the difference between the original /home and the copy | 08:18 |
| tannji | copies your* | 08:18 |
| yown | tannji ok, but I still don't know what is being named that | 08:18 |
| yown | And I want to understand what I am doing, rather then blindly inputing commands | 08:19 |
| tannji | yown, the step you pasted above with "sudo rsync" is the actual command to copy, what to copy, and what to name that copy | 08:19 |
| tannji | yown, i understand = ) | 08:19 |
| yown | I get that, but home isn't a single copy, its a group of files | 08:20 |
| yown | You aren't just copying one thing, you are copying many independent things | 08:20 |
| tannji | yown, right! but you arent worried about the files.... you are copying everything inside that "folder" (even tho it isnt a folder | 08:20 |
| yown | Which of those gets the name "media/home"? | 08:20 |
| yown | So its the folder? | 08:21 |
| tannji | yown, ack! sorta | 08:21 |
| yown | Its something like a directory listing, but not? | 08:21 |
| tannji | I am trying to simplify without being wrong or misleading | 08:21 |
| yown | Careful though, sometimes oversimplified can be even more confusing to those trying to understand the process | 08:22 |
| tannji | in MS windows, when you copy a file or folder, then paste it in the same folder as the original, what happens? | 08:22 |
| yown | Nothing if they are on different partitions | 08:22 |
| yown | I mean they copy | 08:22 |
| yown | And I thought you said it wasn't folder/directory | 08:23 |
| tannji | its a place.... | 08:23 |
| yown | That clears up nothing | 08:24 |
| yown | Like I said, please don't oversimplify | 08:24 |
| yown | What is the term for what is being named "media/home"? The term isn't directory, right? So what is it then? | 08:26 |
| greyhat | oo | 08:26 |
| gordonjcp | yown: yes, that's a directory | 08:26 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you are copying a directory from one place to another | 08:26 |
| tannji | ok... the command you pasted above is copying /home and ALL its contents, and creating a duplicate. if you have two copies, you name them differently, until you know they are good, and the move was successful, and then you name the copy /home, getting rid of the /media, place it in the new partion you made, and mount it | 08:26 |
| greyhat | who is a scientist | 08:26 |
| yown | tannji said that it wasn't a folder/directory | 08:27 |
| greyhat | i want to improve my skill | 08:27 |
| greyhat | give me some tips | 08:27 |
| yown | folder is a term for one segment of a directory BTW, the way I know it | 08:27 |
| tannji | sure | 08:27 |
| tannji | ah! segment | 08:28 |
| tannji | ok.... so you are copying that segment and will move it to a new drive, right? | 08:28 |
| yown | So basically you make a directory of "media/home" then move the files over to that directory, then move it to the new partition? Why not just copy it over to the new partition directly? | 08:28 |
| gordonjcp | greyhat: ask in #ubuntu-offtopic ;-) | 08:29 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you need to mount the partition *somewhere* | 08:30 |
| tannji | ok..... the only reason you have to mkdir (make the /media/home) is because you cant use that location to copy to unless it is mounted | 08:30 |
| tannji | if you called the new location /home and mounted that, where would ubuntu copy /home to?? you would have two locations called /home | 08:31 |
| yown | OH, right, so linux doesn't have unique designations for different partitions for normal commands? | 08:32 |
| tannji | so we call the new one /media/home, we mount it so it can be used, and copy the original /home contents to it | 08:32 |
| gordonjcp | yown: no | 08:32 |
| gordonjcp | yown: well, only if you're actually dealing with partitions, like making a filesystem on them | 08:32 |
| yown | gordonjcp: hmmm, seems to make things more complicated | 08:33 |
| gordonjcp | yown: more complicated than what? | 08:33 |
| tannji | we arent dealing with commands when we refer to /media/home.... its a label | 08:34 |
| yown | gordonjcp: You are saying there isn't a partition designation for linux, right? (linux equivalent of c:, d:, e: etc down the line) | 08:34 |
| gordonjcp | yown: what's c:, d: e: ? | 08:34 |
| yown | gordonjcp: never used windows? | 08:34 |
| gordonjcp | yown: oh, like in MSDOS? No | 08:34 |
| gordonjcp | yown: no | 08:34 |
| tannji | ok, you are kinda confusing physical locations with logical references to partitions | 08:35 |
| gordonjcp | yown: not for about 20 years | 08:35 |
| yown | Well those partition designations would make it so that having same named folders on two different partitions be no problem | 08:35 |
| yown | And it makes it easy to do something like copy all content of one partition to another location, since you have a easy short designation to use for such | 08:36 |
| gordonjcp | yown: but you can do that anyway | 08:36 |
| tannji | right, but you want to be safe, not lose data, and use commands to do your work... this is the way to do that | 08:36 |
| === sm0x_ is now known as sm0x | ||
| gordonjcp | yown: okay, let's back up a bit | 08:36 |
| tannji | I think I could do this better in a voice client, lol | 08:37 |
| gordonjcp | yown: in Unix the filesystem is a tree, with one root | 08:37 |
| === |Jurgen| is now known as |Jurgen|-Douche | ||
| yown | So the contents of /home should actually be in a file named home in the new partition. But because of a lack of partition AKA drive designation, having two folders/directories with the same name could cause errors. so instead you make a folder directory named media/home (or whatever name, doesn't matter) and put the files in there | 08:38 |
| yown | then change the directory to just home after removing or renaming the old home | 08:38 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you can mount filesystems onto this tree, and in fact the tree itself is a filesstem | 08:39 |
| yown | Is that all right? | 08:39 |
| yown | I didn't understand that statement gordon, but did I reasonably accurately describe the situation? | 08:39 |
| tannji | sorta | 08:40 |
| yown | What did I get wrong? | 08:40 |
| tannji | its not the drive designation that matters so much as the fact that you have to mount /media/home to copy to it, and you dont want it named the same as the original /home | 08:41 |
| yown | I said lack of drive designation | 08:41 |
| tannji | you are fixating on that, but it doesnt really affect anything... they can be on same drive or different... | 08:42 |
| tannji | in your case they will end up on different drives because that is your original goal | 08:43 |
| yown | That doesn't negate what I just said | 08:43 |
| yown | Are you mounting the folder, rather then the whole partition, when doing this? | 08:43 |
| tannji | right | 08:43 |
| yown | Why couldn't one mount the whole partition and copy over to it? | 08:44 |
| gordonjcp | argh, horrible ADSL | 08:44 |
| gordonjcp | yown: that's what you're doing | 08:44 |
| tannji | if your drive is 100gb and /media/home is 20gb, you will be mounting that designated 20gb directory within the drive | 08:44 |
| gordonjcp | yown: don't think about "drives" | 08:44 |
| tannji | lol | 08:44 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you're overthinking this | 08:45 |
| yown | yownAre you mounting the folder, rather then the whole partition, when doing this? | 08:45 |
| yown | tannjiright | 08:45 |
| tannji | like I said earlier, we are fixating on physical drives, when we are actually dealing with logical partions | 08:45 |
| yown | Who is fixated on physical drives? Who has even mentioned physical drives? | 08:46 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you keep going on about identifying drives | 08:46 |
| tannji | gordon has it right, and I understand... you are so intent on understanding the process that you are missing the tree and seeing forest | 08:46 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you only need to do that when you actually want to mount the drive | 08:46 |
| yown | Drive designation is a specific term, windows partitions each get their own drive designation, even though they are on the same physical drive. I used drive designation rather then partition designation because of it being a established term, that apparently you guys are unfamiliar with | 08:47 |
| gordonjcp | yown: right | 08:48 |
| matrix | hi all | 08:48 |
| gordonjcp | yown: so in Linux (and other Unixes are similar) drives have a path | 08:48 |
| matrix | !list | 08:48 |
| ubottu | matrix: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 08:48 |
| gordonjcp | yown: a drive might be called /dev/sdd and partitions on it might be called /dev/sdd1, /dev/sdd2, /dev/sdd3 and so on | 08:49 |
| lotuspsychje | matrix: you joined the ubuntu support channel mate | 08:49 |
| yown | gordonjcp: You use drive to mean physical drive, as in one storage device, right? | 08:49 |
| gordonjcp | yown: yes | 08:50 |
| gordonjcp | yown: so one of my servers here has four physical drives | 08:50 |
| yown | gordonjcp: tannji said that you mount the folder on the partition, rather then the partition itself, when copying home, or at least that is what I read | 08:51 |
| gordonjcp | yown: that's a slightly confusing way of putting it | 08:51 |
| lotuspsychje | someone knows why xscreensaver conflicts with gnome-screensaver with the warning default deamon? | 08:51 |
| varunendra | yown, windows also has mount points and it also does the mounting. Only it does that in the background, hiding the process and all the complexities from the user. The drive letters (c:, d:, etc.) are just the mount points, not the partitions themselves. | 08:51 |
| tannji | I said in the partion, rather than just in the drive | 08:51 |
| lotuspsychje | i cant get xscreensaver set as default every boot | 08:51 |
| yown | media/home is a directory path on the partition, right? | 08:51 |
| gordonjcp | yown: so my /dev/sda that I'm looking at is a real physical disk, really physically plugged into the chassis | 08:51 |
| yown | I get that gordonjcp, lets move on please | 08:52 |
| gordonjcp | yown: that drive has three partitions, /dev/sda1, /dev/sda2 and /dev/sda5 | 08:52 |
| yown | please move on | 08:52 |
| yown | Like by answering my question | 08:52 |
| gordonjcp | yown: I'm getting there. I don't know how much you know about this, so it's easiest to start at the start | 08:52 |
| === |Jurgen|-Douche is now known as |Jurgen| | ||
| gordonjcp | the first partition, /dev/sda1 is mounted as the root filesystem which gives you / and everything below | 08:53 |
| yown | The confusion stemmed from a different usage of the term drive, which we have since cleared up | 08:53 |
| yown | gives you what and everything below? | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | so say /dev/sda5 is a partition with a filesystem containing a bunch of videos | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | yown: the / directory | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | and everything in it, and everything in *those* things, and so on | 08:54 |
| yown | you meen the root directory? | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | yes | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | yown: right now this is where things get different from MSDOS | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | you don't have drive letters for different partitons | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | *partitions | 08:54 |
| gordonjcp | you have mount points | 08:55 |
| gordonjcp | so in the case of this server, /dev/sda5 contains a bunch of videos | 08:55 |
| yown | and by "/ and everything below" you mean the whole partition, I am not sure what you are talking about with that "everything below" business | 08:55 |
| malone | Hi. | 08:55 |
| gordonjcp | yown: no, not the whole partition, the filesystem | 08:55 |
| malone | I'm attempting to add a repo whose packages have not yet been updated to 13.04, which I'm running, so running apt-get update returns 404 in this case | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | yown: getting back to this server, there is a mount point /media/video | 08:56 |
| yown | gordonjcp: That makes no sense, there isn't a "the FS", FS is a type of partition encoding, not anything specific | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | yown: /media/video is a directory with nothing in it | 08:56 |
| Kitty_ | Hello can someone explain what is GNOME | 08:56 |
| malone | however, packages exist for quantal, and there's no reason to believe that there's a difference | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | yown: are you being deliberately obtuse? | 08:56 |
| JesseH | Kitty_, I think google can help you figure it out better. | 08:56 |
| malone | is it at all possible to force apt to use the older version? | 08:56 |
| gordonjcp | yown: we use many different types of filesystem | 08:57 |
| yown | gordonjcp: That question ins extremely insulting | 08:57 |
| histo | malone: ppa's aren't supported here | 08:57 |
| gordonjcp | yown: it's really important that you understand this | 08:57 |
| yown | I know what a FS is, well in general terms anyway | 08:57 |
| JesseH | Kitar|st, It's a desktop environment, for short. :) | 08:57 |
| gordonjcp | yown: what, and going "move on, move on" isn't? | 08:57 |
| gordonjcp | yown: okay, good | 08:57 |
| Kitty_ | JesseH, well i read some things on google but din't understand. Can you give me some links | 08:57 |

| Kitty_ | JesseH, Thank you :) | 08:59 |
| gordonjcp | yown: rather than have a drive letter for a partition and then use that to identify it, you mount the partition on an empty directory | 08:59 |
| JesseH | Kitty_, No problem mate, I tend to try answer the questions that others don't :P | 08:59 |
| yown | histo: when you mount a partition for home, is the home part actually a folder/directory path called "/home" within that partition? | 09:00 |
| gordonjcp | yown: nearly | 09:00 |
| gordonjcp | yown: /home is an empty directory within the root fs | 09:00 |
| histo | HisaoNakai: plug it back in and determine the dev from dmesg. Then sudo cfdisk /dev/of/device and create a partition table. Then you can mkfs.vfat /dev/of/partition | 09:00 |
| yown | gordonjcp: How is that different then what I just said? | 09:00 |
| histo | yown: no the file system of that partition is mounted to the /home directory | 09:00 |
| gordonjcp | yown: I read what you said to mean that /home is within the partition with the home directories | 09:01 |
| histo | yown: if you mounted that partition else where you would see no home directory... | 09:01 |
| yown | histo: um, partitions aren't limited to one FS at a time? | 09:01 |
| histo | yown: What? | 09:01 |
| yown | histo: You format your partition with a specific FS of your choosing, and you can only have one FS per partition, or am I wrong? | 09:02 |
| Www | Considering dual-booting Ubuntu once more. I miss it. Aha. | 09:02 |
| histo | yown: correct | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | yown: the root filesystem contains an empty directory, /home | 09:02 |
| tannji | file system doesnt just refer to fat32 or ext4.... it also refers to the way things are organized in the tree | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | yown: the filesystem with the actual home directories just contains those home directories | 09:03 |
| yown | gordonjcp: I didn't understand that | 09:03 |
| tannji | exactly' | 09:03 |
| gordonjcp | yown: which part? | 09:04 |
| tannji | filesystem | 09:04 |
| tannji | he is confusing the techicality of ext4 with the organization of directories | 09:04 |
| histo | yown: on your home partition you will use user1 user2 etc... you won't see home/user1 home/user2 | 09:04 |
| histo | yown: s/use/see/ | 09:04 |
| yown | tannji: You mean using the term FS to refer to two different things, or one thing with two different aspects? | 09:04 |
| Www | Could any of you recommend a decent password manager for Linux that isn't LastPass? I use Dashlane in Windows at the moment, so I'd prefer something that would allow me to import my database from there. | 09:04 |

| ubottu | unheeding: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 09:06 |
| tannji | file system usually is "ext4" or "fat32". filesystem refers to how we organize the directories | 09:06 |
| gordonjcp | tannji: that's not very helpful | 09:06 |
| tannji | ok | 09:06 |
| gordonjcp | because it's kind of wrong | 09:06 |
| yown | So within the ext FS, is a hidden base directory, that all the other directories sit on top of? | 09:06 |
| unheeding | oops, thanks histo | 09:06 |
| tannji | but I think it involves what he is confused about | 09:06 |
| gordonjcp | yown: no | 09:06 |
| histo | gordonjcp: actually it was an "ok" description of a filesystem | 09:06 |
| tannji | = ) | 09:07 |
| gordonjcp | histo: hence "kind of" | 09:07 |
| unheeding | >not having ZFS | 09:07 |
| gordonjcp | the term "filesystem" refers to how the partition is actually formatted | 09:07 |
| unheeding | >being a pleb | 09:07 |
| histo | yown: no stuff can be in the root of the filesystem just like in dos. If you ever look at a FAT file system you will see stuff in the root directory of the fs | 09:07 |
| yown | FS is the setup of data, and accompanying map that provides the path to that data | 09:07 |
| yown | the setup formation of the data, the blueprint | 09:07 |
| gordonjcp | yown: right | 09:08 |
| histo | yown: e.g. c:\somestuff.txt or c:\whatever\ the directory whatever and the file somestuff.txt are in the root directory of the filesystem just like user1 user2 etc... | 09:08 |
| tannji | gordonjcp, this is what I was referring to: http://searchstorage.techtarget.com/definition/file-system | 09:08 |
| yown | So when you name something "media/home" like in these instructions https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Partitioning/Home/Moving, what exactly are you naming? | 09:09 |
| histo | gordonjcp: A method of organizing blocks on a storage device into files and directories. | 09:09 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you are referring to a directory | 09:09 |
| tannji | file system is the means of handling the data, filesystem is the organization from a logical standpoint | 09:09 |
| yown | So you are basically putting a directory called "media/home" within the partition? | 09:10 |
| gordonjcp | yown: within the root partition, yes | 09:10 |
| histo | yown: you are created a directory in /media called home so the full path is /media/home . Later you will mount a partition to /media/home and put stuff there. | 09:10 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you then hang your new partition off /media/root | 09:10 |
| HisaoNakai | histo - 'No primary partitions are marked bootable. DOS MBR cannot boot this.' | 09:10 |
| gordonjcp | yown: no, sorry, /media/home/ | 09:10 |
| yown | What is a root partition? | 09:10 |
| histo | HisaoNakai: Ok | 09:10 |
| histo | yown: the first / = root so /...media/...home is the equivalent of c:\media\home for your M$ mind. | 09:11 |
| HisaoNakai | histo - Suggested course of action? o_O | 09:11 |
| histo | HisaoNakai: Where are you getting that error? | 09:12 |
| yown | histo: actually that second part doesn't help. I think you mean C:\ for us windows minded | 09:12 |
| yown | or what ever partition designation | 09:12 |
| fossterer | Anyone using juju? | 09:12 |
| varunendra | HisaoNakai, use gparted to set the "boot" flag on the partition. | 09:12 |
| histo | yown: in linux you don't have c d e etc.. you can mount filesystems in direcories anywhere and utilize them. | 09:13 |
| gordonjcp | histo: I've been through all this | 09:13 |
| lotuspsychje | !info juju > lotuspsychje | 09:13 |
| yown | histo If I am making this in media\, won't the files be copied to the same partition? | 09:13 |
| lotuspsychje | fossterer: first i heared of it :p | 09:14 |
| gordonjcp | yown: no, because you mount your new partition on /media/home | 09:14 |
| HisaoNakai | histo - in cfdisk | 09:14 |
| HisaoNakai | histo - After I try to write the partition table | 09:15 |
| yown | gordonjcp: So the directory of media/home, won't be on the partition itself? | 09:15 |
| yown | gordonjcp: Rather the name of its mounting point? | 09:15 |
| gordonjcp | yown: no, the directory /media/home will be on the root partition | 09:16 |
| gordonjcp | yown: along with stuff like /var, /usr and so on | 09:16 |
| gordonjcp | yown: /media/home will just be an empty directory | 09:16 |
| histo | HisaoNakai: that's fine. write it and then quit unless you want it to be bootable | 09:16 |
| gordonjcp | you can copy stuff to it just like normal | 09:16 |
| yown | what do you mean by root partition, you mean the partition of the OS you are working off of? | 09:16 |
| gordonjcp | you don't want to do that | 09:16 |
| gordonjcp | yown: yes, the root partition being the thing that / is on | 09:16 |
| === qos|away is now known as qos | ||
| gordonjcp | when you mount the new partition on /media/home then all the space on that partition becomes available as /media/home/<big empty directory> | 09:17 |
| yown | So is "media/home" the name of the mounting point directory the target to copy over partition would go on? | 09:17 |
| gordonjcp | yes | 09:17 |
| histo | yown: You mkdir /media/home then mount some partition there to use its filesystem. | 09:18 |
| serg_ | помогите настроить vsftp!!! | 09:19 |
| yown | Well I have made partitions before, and mounted them, they appeared directly rather then nestled in a directory, I get that you can nestle them that way, but why is that necessary for copying? | 09:19 |
| gordonjcp | yown: because that's how Unix does it | 09:19 |
| yown | does what? | 09:19 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you don't use separate drive letters, because that's messy and inconvenient | 09:19 |

| gordonjcp | yown: doing it this way, you don't actually have to *care* where the files physically reside | 09:20 |
| yown | Why can't I just mount the partition I make outside of any directory then copy over the contents of /home? | 09:20 |
| gordonjcp | yown: you have to mount it *somewhere* | 09:20 |
| yown | right | 09:20 |
| gordonjcp | yown: where you mount it doesn't actually matter | 09:20 |

| gordonjcp | yown: it has to be an empty directory | 09:21 |
| histo | gordonjcp: doesn't have to be empty | 09:21 |
| gordonjcp | histo: mount(8) will complain if there are files there | 09:21 |
| yown | I said already, I have mounted partions before, they didn't need to go into directories | 09:21 |
| gordonjcp | yown: where did you mount them then? | 09:21 |
| histo | yown: where did you mount them? | 09:21 |
| * histo senses troll | 09:22 | |
| yown | I dont know, it just shows up in nautilus as "52 GB files" etc. listed directly in nautilus, and not in any directory.I don't know "where" that is | 09:23 |
| HisaoNakai | histo - Ouch man. Even after setting it to bootable in cfdisk, sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc says 'device partition expected, not making fs' etc. :S | 09:23 |
| histo | HisaoNakai: because it would be mkfs.vfat /dev/sdc1 for the first primary partition | 09:23 |
| gordonjcp | yown: yes, that's mounted somewhere | 09:23 |
| histo | HisaoNakai: sdc is the device sdc1 is the partitioin | 09:23 |
| gordonjcp | yown: probably in something like /media/yown/<some ID taken from the disk> | 09:23 |
| yown | histo, if you have a troll in your room, run! I hear those things are evil | 09:24 |
| histo | yown: it's mounting in /media/username/somelong string | 09:24 |
| histo | yown: plug something in and type mount without argument in terminal and you will see it mounted to /media.... | 09:24 |
| yown | So when I tell it to mount without being specific, it makes its own random directory? | 09:24 |
| gordonjcp | yown: not random, no | 09:24 |
| gordonjcp | yown: it makes up a directory based on your username and some label off the disk | 09:24 |
| === BJfreeman is now known as Guest22985 | ||
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| yown | If it goes into a "media" then how come I don't have to go into a folder/directory called "media" to see them? | 09:25 |
| histo | yown: you have to be specific. IN the case of nautilus it makes a directory based of the ID of the filesystem and puts it in /media/username/thatID to make it "easy" for you. | 09:25 |
| gordonjcp | yown: because the folder icon on the launcher bar at the side is a convenient shortcut | 09:25 |
| gordonjcp | yown: if you open a terminal you'll find you can go to /media/yown/something and see the files on the drive | 09:26 |
| === harrymoreno_ is now known as harrymoreno | ||
| gordonjcp | yown: the great thing about it is, you don't have to care where the files *physically* are | 09:27 |
| yown | I don't see why that would be | 09:27 |
| gordonjcp | yown: maybe /media/home is on a disk that's not even in the machine you're working on, but in some other machine networked to it | 09:27 |
| yown | it will matter if the drive or the other machine goes down | 09:28 |
| gordonjcp | yown: right, but that's out of scope for this discussion | 09:28 |
| gordonjcp | yown: this is why we have things like UPSes and redundant power supplies | 09:28 |
| yown | I wonder if there really is much of a difference between this system and a shortcut to a directory/folder within windows system | 09:29 |
| histo | yown: there is a big difference | 09:29 |
| yown | how so? | 09:29 |
| histo | yown: we don't have random drive letters for partitions | 09:29 |
| yown | That is a difference in method, not effect | 09:30 |
| histo | yown: then use windows | 09:30 |
| histo | yown: and I want you to mount your D: drive to c:\somedirectory | 09:31 |
| histo | see how that works out for you. | 09:31 |
| yown | Seriously, I am trying to understand linux, not be told to use a different OS | 09:31 |
| histo | yown: I'm not telling you to I'm pointing out and example and difference like you asked. | 09:31 |
| yown | I meant difference of effect | 09:32 |
| gordonjcp | yown: I think shortcuts are more like symbolic links in Unix | 09:32 |
| histo | yown: and this is relevant to #ubuntu how? | 09:32 |
| lotuspsychje | histo is right guys, lets move on | 09:32 |
| yown | Because that difference when comparing the familiar to the less familiar helps one understand the less familiar more | 09:33 |
| tannji | not in this case | 09:33 |
| yown | yes, in this case | 09:33 |
| yown | That is why I asked/wondered | 09:33 |

| gilo | i'm currently running linux 3.5, ishould use the open source driver instead? | 09:57 |
| gilo | and ubuntu 12.04 | 09:59 |
| tannji | gilo, I think you are in a catch-22 if you need the best performance from that card. next kernel will give you better open source drivers, but not good gaming, and the proprietary amd driver gives you perfomance, but heat and battery kill | 10:00 |
| tannji | gilo, if you arent gaming, I would load the open drivers | 10:00 |
| gilo | i'm not gaming but sometimes i use the hdmi for video play back and open drivers have poor quality | 10:02 |
| tannji | gilo, ya... like I said, catch-22. I think your best bet is open drivers until you can get a newer laptop. | 10:03 |
| tannji | gilo, on the bright side.... drivers should be greatly improving in the next year or two.... just not for that old of gpu | 10:04 |
| gilo | but the open source drivers where initialy installed, right? | 10:04 |
| tannji | right... but I would imagine that after the next kernel trickles sown, you will get better open drivers than the current ones | 10:05 |
| tannji | down* | 10:05 |
| === me is now known as Guest33382 | ||
| gilo | than it's the same but with better quality, so i should wait for the next kernel releases and install the open drivers? | 10:07 |

| varunendra | checkin, taking a look.. | 10:32 |
| checkin | varunendra, i have enabled wireless from within windows now.. let me know if u want me to disable from windows and run this script again.. | 10:33 |
| usr13 | sindri: ipchicken.com | 10:33 |
| oddthingy | varunendra: actually, i dont need a list, just a single usb modem that works | 10:33 |
| sindri | usr13: I would like to avoid using other sites that way, planning on running a cron later when I get it too work | 10:34 |
| oddthingy | what do you mean by vid id? i am not very technical. | 10:34 |
| varunendra | oddthingy, these devices are handled by the "option" driver. Use "modinfo option" command to see which VID:PID are supported (alias). VID is vendor id, pid = product id. | 10:35 |
| oddthingy | varunendra: ok, i'll try that, thanks | 10:36 |
| usr13 | sindri: http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-526176.html | 10:37 |
| varunendra | oddthingy, for example, one of the output lines (of "modinfo option" command) is "alias: usb:v19D2p1278d*dc*dsc*dp*icFFiscFFipFF*". Here, vid is 19D2, and pid is 1278. So you can search for "19D2:1278" | 10:37 |
| usr13 | sindri: But it uses whatsmyip.com so. | 10:38 |
| varunendra | checkin, if you simply reboot, does the wifi get hard blocked again? | 10:38 |
| checkin | varunendra, no.. but if the wifi is disabled from windows there is no way i can see to enable it back... | 10:39 |
| checkin | cant get rid off windows.. :-( | 10:40 |
| checkin | varunendra, the wifi switch does not create any xev event either.. | 10:41 |
| oddthingy | varunendra: if a chip's vid and pid are listed, does this mean that devices using that chip should work? | 10:41 |
| oddthingy | just to be clear | 10:41 |
| gordonjcp | oddthingy: should do | 10:41 |
| varunendra | checkin, that is a known problem. It happens due to how the different firmwares handle the device. Unfortunately, the only other way I know of is to reset BIOS once it is disabled from within windows :( | 10:41 |
| checkin | toshiba calls these buttons are called front operation panel... | 10:42 |
| checkin | k | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | varunendra: tried disabling power management and the ability for the wifi device to wake up the pc | 10:42 |
| checkin | varunendra, i tried to do that.. but there is no wireless option in my bios.. | 10:43 |
| varunendra | oddthingy, definitely. Although I can't say about any glitches it may have with the option driver. | 10:43 |
| ActionParsnip | checkin: tried what I said to varunendra aboven | 10:44 |
| varunendra | ActionParsnip, never had this problem myself. I only know what I know about these from forum posts. | 10:44 |
| checkin | ActionParsnip, i tried that when u mentioned on the help request in launchpad.. didn't work.. :-( | 10:45 |
| ActionParsnip | checkin: do you have the latest BIOSn | 10:45 |
| oddthingy | varunendra: do you mean the driver software? | 10:45 |
| varunendra | yes | 10:45 |
| varunendra | "option" is the name of the driver that handles these modems. | 10:46 |
| ActionParsnip | checkin: also, read through the dmesg text, it may give clues | 10:46 |
| checkin | ActionParsnip, s.. it is toshiba 2.70 the latest for my model.. | 10:46 |
| oddthingy | varunendra: should checking whether a linux/ubuntu driver is available for a particular chip solve that? | 10:47 |
| varunendra | checkin, usually (but not always), a "hard block" means something that can only be dealt with from the physical switches or the BIOS. | 10:47 |
| ActionParsnip | checkin: run: dmesg | less ,scroll through and see what is going on. ESC to exit | 10:47 |
| usr13 | sindri: lynx --dump http://ifconfig.me/ip | 10:47 |
| usr13 | sindri: If you don't have lynx install it. | 10:48 |
| varunendra | oddthingy, "option" is the only driver needed. Even non-supported gsm modems can be made to work with it, but it needs some excessive tweaking. | 10:48 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: thats kinda like icanhazip.com | 10:48 |
| checkin | ActionParsnip, should i do it after disabling wireless from windows.. i have a dmesg when wireless is enabled.. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5659327/ | 10:49 |
| varunendra | oddthingy, I am myself using "1c9e:9603". That is an "Omega Technology" chip in a micromax modem. But that is an old model now. May not be available in the market anymore. | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | checkin: do both, see what the diffence is etc | 10:50 |
| usr13 | sindri: lynx --dump icanhazip.com #Thanks ActionParsnip | 10:50 |
| ActionParsnip | usr13: or: curl icanhazip.com | 10:51 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Yea even better. sindri ^^ | 10:51 |
| varunendra | oddthingy, a less tekky approach may be to just make a post in ubuntuforums asking if someone is using a rather newer device that worked out-of-box. | 10:52 |
| checkin | ActionParsnip, i have a lspci output for with/without wireless.. output when wireless disabled from within windows http://paste.ubuntu.com/5659346/ output when wireless enabled from within windows http://paste.ubuntu.com/5659348/ | 10:52 |

| checkin | usr13: s.. Fn+F8 for me... does not work :-( does not create xev event either... | 10:57 |
| HLEP | also wireless doesnt work | 10:57 |
| HLEP | and i cant install the drivers apparently because it cant lock something | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | hlep: what wifi chip are you using? | 10:58 |
| HLEP | a broadcom one? | 10:59 |
| armin | quite frankly, i believe that the alt-tab switcher in unity is the only thing that makes unity pretty bad. and no, the static application switcher is no cure to that. | 10:59 |
| usr13 | checkin: Really. Fn+F8 Ok... well, works on most. I have a Dell x300, it works and several others I've installed Linux on have also had the F-key combo for it and they have worked. Ok, I dono | 10:59 |
| HLEP | but its more than just the wifi it seems there are integral system files missing as it doesnt seem to be able to do sudo apt-get command | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | hlep: if you run: sudo lshw -C network ,you will be shown | 10:59 |
| checkin | usr13: in windows it is a muti-function switch.. first time i do the combination wifi gets on, 2nd bluetooth on, 3rd both bluetooth, wifi on, 4th all off.. | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | hlep: also what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 11:00 |
| usr13 | checkin: But it may depend on some bios setting. Do the other F-key functions work? | 11:00 |
| usr13 | checkin: How about brightness? | 11:00 |
| checkin | usr13: all others work.. except for wireless Fn+F8, TouchPad toggle Fn+F9.. | 11:01 |
| MonkeyDust | HLEP have you tried ethernet? | 11:01 |
| varunendra | HLEP, what is the exact 'lock' error that you get when trying to install something? | 11:01 |
| usr13 | checkin: Hummmm.... I don't know, unless there is a bios setting that causes it not to work. | 11:02 |

| checkin | usr13: even under windows Fn+F8 works only as a soft toggle.. I need to enable wifi using the front panel led switch first.. | 11:03 |
| varunendra | checkin, it seems to be a wmi driver related issue. Not specific to wireless or other components. Can we have a look at your lsmod? (sorry if you already posted that) | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | hlep: thought it would be a cheap Broadcom | 11:03 |
| HLEP | i put in the command above and got this: Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l | 11:04 |
| HLEP | duno if thats what u meant | 11:04 |
| checkin | varunendra, i have not done that.. the entire command is sudo lsmod? any parameters to be added? | 11:04 |
| usr13 | checkin: I do not see the need for wifi switches in the first place. | 11:04 |
| varunendra | checkin, sudo is not needed. Just "lsmod" | 11:05 |
| checkin | k | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | hlep: ok, do you have web access via Ethernet? | 11:05 |
| checkin | varunendra, i have disabled wireless from windows now.. so the LED light is gone.. and i have no wireless now.. will post the output.. | 11:05 |
| HLEP | yeh i have connection via ethernet | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | hlep: then run: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 11:06 |
| checkin | usr13: the switch brings up the orange light.. the rest like Fn+F8 i think are only for soft toggle.. | 11:06 |
| HLEP | this is what i get for example when executing sudo -apt update: E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 11:06 |

| lotuspsychje | !caps | hlep | 11:42 |
| ubottu | hlep: PLEASE DON'T SHOUT! We can read lowercase too. | 11:42 |
| HLEP | i know soz guys it was accidental | 11:42 |
| varunendra | HLEP, do - "sudo modprobe -rfv b43", let it finish, then again do - "sudo modprobe -v b43". Post back if it made any difference. | 11:45 |
| checkin | varunendra, did that.. do i need a reboot? | 11:45 |
| acy94 | Hello | 11:46 |
| varunendra | checkin, since it is acpi related, yes. | 11:46 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: welcome mate, what can we help you with | 11:46 |
| acy94 | Well, I got a problem ~after~ I uninstalled dwm | 11:46 |
| acy94 | AFter I uninstalled it, I rebooted and it wouldn't let me even get to lightdm | 11:46 |
| acy94 | It's just a black screen that seems to be in a loop | 11:47 |
| checkin | varunendra, k.. will reboot into windows, disable wifi, and again boot into ubuntu.. tht should be fine rite? | 11:47 |
| varunendra | right | 11:47 |
| checkin | k | 11:47 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: you can try boot last kernel maybe? | 11:47 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: and see what errors you got in logs | 11:48 |
| acy94 | Hold on gonna check the logs now. | 11:48 |
| HLEP | just did this cat /etc/modprobe.d/* | egrep 'bcm' | 11:49 |
| HLEP | then some other stuff to do with gedit and now im going to reboot see if it worked. ill be back in 5 | 11:49 |
| acy94 | lotuspsychje, cause all I did was, install dwm, then couldn't figure out how to log out | 11:49 |
| acy94 | so I purged and removed it and restarted | 11:49 |
| acy94 | And theres a lot of log files here, so I'm not sure which one to look into | 11:50 |
| HLEP | how can i find out what processes i have running?! | 11:50 |
| PocketDog | HLEP, 'top' in terminal. | 11:51 |
| MonkeyDust | or htop | 11:51 |
| Kakeb0ks | anyone here? | 11:51 |
| MonkeyDust | Kakeb0ks no | 11:51 |
| Kakeb0ks | :p | 11:52 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: maybe this can help: http://superuser.com/questions/432048/graceful-logout-in-dwm | 11:52 |
| Kakeb0ks | need some help with Xubuntu 1304 | 11:52 |
| lotuspsychje | !ask | Kakeb0ks | 11:52 |
| ubottu | Kakeb0ks: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 11:52 |
| HLEP | ye so apt-get is at the top how do i get it to stop | 11:53 |
| HLEP | because until i do | 11:53 |
| HLEP | i cant install anything | 11:53 |
| HLEP | even tho i thought that was an installer anyway.... | 11:53 |
| PocketDog | HTOP, use the killall command | 11:53 |
| varunendra | HLEP, you can 'kill' the process, but it is a bad idea if an installation is in progress | 11:54 |
| HLEP | its using all of my cpu | 11:54 |
| acy94 | lotuspsychje, none of those files exist, since I pretty much purged dwm from my system | 11:54 |
| HLEP | and i dont know if there is an installation is in progress | 11:54 |
| varunendra | HLEP, do you have apt-get running in some terminal? | 11:54 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: hmm, what about a lightdm restart? | 11:54 |
| MonkeyDust | HLEP what did you do with your machine, to make it so troublesome? | 11:54 |
| HLEP | i have no idea lol | 11:55 |
| acy94 | I can't even get a tty up since it's stuck on a black screen | 11:55 |
| varunendra | :P | 11:55 |

| HLEP | probs because its on macbook pro new one | 11:55 |
| HLEP | how can i just quite terminal | 11:55 |
| HLEP | does close window not quite the program? | 11:55 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: try booting grub in a previous kernel maybe? | 11:55 |
| acy94 | kk | 11:56 |
| acy94 | Be right back. | 11:56 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: or try a failsafeX | 11:56 |
| acy94 | failsafeX? | 11:56 |
| acy94 | How do I get into that? | 11:56 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: grub recoverymode | 11:56 |
| varunendra | HLEP, if you invoke a program from a terminal, then closing that terminal will also kill the program | 11:56 |
| HLEP | ye thats what i tohught so where is this apt-get coming from | 11:56 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: then load the defaults on grafix | 11:56 |
| acy94 | Okay | 11:57 |
| acy94 | be right back | 11:57 |
| lotuspsychje | acy94: good luck | 11:57 |
| Kakeb0ks | my xubuntu is so sloow for some reason :s i installed it some hours ago, when i use ubuntu software senter, it starts to get slow, i got 8 GB ram | 11:57 |
| HLEP | ye thats what i tohught so where is this apt-get coming from | 11:57 |
| varunendra | HLEP, what other package managers have you used so far? | 11:57 |
| Friberg_ | which drivers for 7970 is recommended from Ubuntus point of view? Is it the built in xserver-xorg-video-ati? | 11:57 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: any logs getting errors on your xubuntu? | 11:58 |
| HLEP | only the software updater and even then it said i cant complete because apt-get is running elsewhere | 11:58 |
| lotuspsychje | !ati | Friberg_ | 11:58 |
| ubottu | Friberg_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 11:58 |
| checkin | varunendra, now nothing is related to Fn is working either :-( should i reinstall ubuntu and try this whole process again on a fresh install, in case other files are blocking it? | 11:58 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, ye, got some random errors :s | 11:58 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: can you pastebin them? | 11:59 |
| Kakeb0ks | some point, its fast , randomly xubuntu gets slow :s | 11:59 |
| varunendra | checkin, that was expected (either it'll make others work, or disable all). Just un-blacklist the driver (remove its line from the blacklist.conf file). | 11:59 |
| HLEP | anyone? | 12:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: 8gig on xubuntu...should be fast, something else might be lagging system | 12:00 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, mhm , but what :s | 12:00 |
| Kakeb0ks | didnt have same problem with ubuntu | 12:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: lets try reading the logs :p | 12:00 |
| varunendra | HLEP, can we safely assume that YOU didn't initiate an installation that is in progress? | 12:00 |
| HLEP | yeah | 12:01 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: or tail -f /var/log/syslog.1 to check in realtime | 12:01 |
| HLEP | even if i did it would have been ended by now because have rebooted twice | 12:01 |
| HLEP | right? | 12:02 |
| checkin | varunendra, k.. removed it from blacklist and did a reboot.. now others are working fine.. :-) is it like end of the road :-) | 12:03 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, found the file now | 12:03 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: So, its the built in one thats recommended by Ubuntu. Just tried that one, how am i supposed to enable non mirrored displays? | 12:03 |
| HLEP | ?? | 12:04 |
| === wojciech_ is now known as wojciech | ||
| lotuspsychje | !patience | HLEP | 12:04 |
| ubottu | HLEP: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 12:04 |
| varunendra | checkin, seems like that :( Maybe the latest model is too new for the driver to handle? | 12:04 |
| HLEP | faiirrr ive been seraching all night lol | 12:04 |
| varunendra | HLEP, yes we can attempt to kill the process then. | 12:04 |
| kai__ | Hello? | 12:04 |
| HLEP | ok so whats the command to kill all processes? | 12:04 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, haha, chromium hangs xD when i copypasted the text into pastebin xD | 12:05 |
| kai__ | Kateb0ks: I've had far less problems with Chrome | 12:05 |
| varunendra | HLEP, what is the exact name of the apt-get process in "top" command? | 12:05 |
| checkin | varunendra, one last ques? any thinkpad models that will be completely compatible with Ubuntu/Debian? | 12:05 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: not sure what mirrored displays would do, try to ask your specific problem in chat mate | 12:05 |
| kai__ | Can someone read over my website for some critcal feedback? It was made on ubuntu btw. www.rejoicegames.com | 12:06 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: Mirrored displays gives me the same image on every single monitor i have. I'd like to extend my desktop, not mirror it. | 12:06 |
| HLEP | command: apt-get using 1-00% of cpu user: ROOT | 12:06 |
| Friberg_ | How do I do this with the built in ati-driver | 12:06 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, You have exceeded the maximum file size of 500 kilobytes per paste xD | 12:06 |
| HLEP | *100% cpu | 12:06 |
| lotuspsychje | !ot | kai__ | 12:07 |
| ubottu | kai__: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 12:07 |
| Kakeb0ks | hah, maybe install lubuntu instead | 12:07 |
| varunendra | checkin, take a look at this thread : http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1543006 I hope someone can offer better help :P | 12:07 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: with 8gig ram xubuntu should be fine, what are other specs of your machine mate? | 12:07 |
| varunendra | HLEP, try - "sudo killall apt-get" | 12:08 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, the comp is 3 months old :s so shouldnt be a problem | 12:08 |
| checkin | varunendra, thnx for your help.. | 12:08 |
| mentalist | is there any full system encryption program for ubuntu? like truecrypt for windows | 12:08 |
| checkin | :-) | 12:08 |

| HLEP | noice apt get is now stopped | 12:09 |
| varunendra | thanks to ubottu ?? :D | 12:09 |
| lotuspsychje | :p | 12:09 |
| HLEP | so now shall i try and install those drivers i donwloaded to my home folder earlier? | 12:09 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: you should find the bottleneck mate, xubuntu should run fine on that machine then | 12:10 |
| varunendra | HLEP, yeah, try that (sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree) | 12:10 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, but how .. hmm | 12:10 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: define what goes slow, check logs, start programs from terminal to see whats happening etc | 12:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: dis you check additional drivers, if all installed correctly? | 12:11 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: installed new hardware recently? | 12:12 |
| Friberg_ | I've managed to setup three screens correctly using xrandr and xorg ati driver.. but things are laggy as hell. minimizing a window laggs even. | 12:14 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: did you also check your additional drivers section, to see if drivers installed correctly? | 12:15 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: older grafix card or rather new one? | 12:15 |
| Friberg_ | 7970, rather new. | 12:16 |
| habanany | Aldiko or fbreader ? | 12:16 |
| lotuspsychje | !poll | habanany | 12:16 |
| ubottu | habanany: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 12:16 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: ive checked additional drivers and it says that im using the recommended driver. | 12:16 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: did you clean install ubuntu, or upgrade..wich version are you on now? | 12:17 |
| habanany | ubottu thanks | 12:17 |
| ubottu | You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) | 12:17 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, i install Lubuntu | 12:17 |
| lotuspsychje | !info lubuntu-desktop | Kakeb0ks | 12:17 |
| ubottu | Kakeb0ks: lubuntu-desktop (source: lubuntu-meta): Lubuntu Desktop environment. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.48 (raring), package size 2 kB, installed size 30 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; powerpc; armhf) | 12:17 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: clean and upgrade, ive actually tried the same thing in 13.04 clean, then i upgraded to 13.10. So now you're goin gto tell me to bugger off and ask my questions in ubuntu+1, right? | 12:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: whats the reason you choose xubuntu with 8gig ram? dont like unity on 13.04? | 12:18 |
| habanany | ubottu whats a bot ? is it a automatic thing ? | 12:18 |
| ubottu | I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:18 |
| HLEP_ | hey again guys what was that command | 12:18 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: did your problem happen in 13.04 the same?. | 12:18 |
| habanany | ubottu ok ok | 12:18 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: yes | 12:19 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, i like xubuntu more :p | 12:19 |
| Kakeb0ks | than the new ubuntu | 12:19 |
| HLEP_ | anyone who was helping me earlier got that command for installing the wireless drivers? | 12:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: you could tryout ubuntu-desktop 13.04 see if same lags happen, if not like install lubuntu-desktop from there | 12:20 |
| razzledazzle | why isn't ubuntu notifying me network disconnections? | 12:20 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: not sure why your grafix lag like this, i would doublecheck logs for any errors maybe | 12:21 |
| Kakeb0ks | lotuspsychje, i had ubuntu some time ago, but after installing GPU drivers, i couldnt log in | 12:21 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, did the apt-get command complete successfully last time? | 12:21 |
| Kakeb0ks | black screen | 12:21 |
| HLEP_ | the last thing i did was kill apt-get in top | 12:21 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, then try now - "sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree" (assuming you are connected via cable) | 12:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: maybe your grafix card bugs? | 12:22 |
| HLEP_ | thats the one :D | 12:22 |
| lotuspsychje | Kakeb0ks: what chipset your grafix card got? | 12:22 |
| FiremanEd | quick question: Does Alt + sysrq + REISUB still reboot, or has it changed since the Maverick days? | 12:23 |
| varunendra | FiremanEd, it does | 12:23 |
| HLEP_ | this is what i got E: Could not get lock /var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (11: Resource temporarily unavailable) E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? bhleg@bhleg-UBUNTU:~$ | 12:23 |
| FiremanEd | thank ye, varunendra | 12:24 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, check the "top" command again.. :| | 12:24 |
| varunendra | FiremanEd, you | 12:24 |
| varunendra | you're welcome! | 12:24 |
| HLEP_ | just did aptget isnt running anymore | 12:24 |
| HLEP_ | but still it says cannot lock | 12:24 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: not really the problem. the lag i can live with. not beeing able to use my 6 monitors, thats the nasty part. | 12:25 |
| lotuspsychje | HLEP_: software centre still open maybe, or didnt 'sudo' apt-get? | 12:25 |
| Friberg_ | when using fglrx driver i get something about my screen cannot be bigger than 1920x1080 | 12:25 |
| Friberg_ | öh.. 1920x1920 | 12:25 |
| Friberg_ | actually | 12:25 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: 6 monitors on the same card :p | 12:25 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, I'm not entirely sure what I'm going to suggest, it can be risky. But try manually deleting the locks.. wanna try? | 12:25 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: yes | 12:25 |
| HLEP_ | Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? | 12:25 |
| HLEP_ | yeah il try that | 12:25 |
| sanav | hello admin .I found problem in installing ubuntu on preinstalled win 8 system(UEFI ) .Please help me .Complete : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5813611/ .Please read this .Thanks | 12:25 |
| HLEP_ | but whats the risk? | 12:25 |
| mentalist | why you need 6 screens? | 12:25 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: 2x dvi, 4x dp | 12:25 |
| Friberg_ | mentalist: not the question here. | 12:26 |
| lotuspsychje | !uefi | sanav | 12:26 |
| ubottu | sanav: 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 | 12:26 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, then do - "sudo rm /var/lib/dpkg/lock" | 12:26 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: already read .Thanks | 12:26 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: never configged 6 screens yet on ubuntu, so i cant help you with that :p | 12:26 |
| sanav | HLEP_: or 'sudo pkill dpkg' | 12:26 |
| Friberg_ | figures. works great in windows thou | 12:27 |
| HLEP_ | i did first one command but it asked for password then nothing | 12:27 |
| HLEP_ | is it doing it in background?1 | 12:27 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, did you enter your login password when it asked? | 12:27 |
| HLEP_ | yep | 12:27 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, now check if the file was deleted - "ls /var/lib/dpkg/lock" | 12:28 |
| HLEP_ | sudo | 12:28 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, does it return an output or "no such file" error? | 12:28 |
| HLEP_ | yep | 12:28 |
| HLEP_ | cannot access file no such file or directory | 12:29 |
| HLEP_ | i assume its gone then | 12:29 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: maybe this can help: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution | 12:29 |
| varunendra | good | 12:29 |
| varunendra | yes | 12:29 |
| HLEP_ | klkl so now if i try to install these drivers it will work now? | 12:29 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, now try again - "sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree" | 12:30 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, success or error again?? | 12:30 |
| HLEP_ | i think its done it!! Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree Reading state information... Done The following package was automatically installed and is no longer required: linux-image-generic Use 'apt-get autoremove' to remove it. The following NEW packages will be installed linux-firmware-nonfree 0 upgraded, 1 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. Need to get 3,943 kB of archives. After this oper | 12:31 |
| HLEP_ | soz for psating it in convo | 12:31 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: seems like grub didnt install correclty to read | 12:31 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: did you disable secure boot from bios? | 12:32 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, proceed then. | 12:32 |
| HLEP_ | so should the wireless be fixed now?? | 12:32 |
| HLEP_ | or is there more to do? | 12:32 |
| HLEP_ | also the lock thing should be fixed as well shouldnt it/ | 12:32 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje : why i need to disable it .if i disable it , we can't install ubuntu on win 8 .Its required . | 12:32 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, I hope so :) but you'll need to unload --> re-load the driver | 12:33 |
| HLEP_ | how does one do this? | 12:33 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: seems like your win8 locked out grub, so it cant boot | 12:33 |
| varunendra | HLEP_, after it finishes, do - "sudo modprobe -rfv b43", then - "sudo modprobe -v b43". | 12:34 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: may be . | 12:34 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: how about single install ubuntu | 12:34 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: it work fine . | 12:34 |

| lotuspsychje | sanav: you can tweak energy options in ubuntu | 12:38 |

| sanav | lotuspsychje: thats good .Did you tweak ? or it come with ubuntu as pre-installed OS ? | 12:42 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: no ive clean installed myself (default Os was win7) no energy tweaks | 12:43 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: wow ! when i installed ubuntu it gave me hardly 2 hours . | 12:43 |
| kalakj | hello everyone | 12:44 |
| robotti | http://robotti.kapsi.fi/filehelperbug.png <-- why it is doing that. It is not working. | 12:44 |
| qmt | hi everybody | 12:44 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: thats low indeed for an ultrabook, did you use intensively? | 12:44 |
| robotti | I am trying to open exe file and when trying to find app from Internet it will give that error message everytime. | 12:44 |
| kalakj | i have a problem that, many times my laptop DVD DRIVE automatically ejects | 12:44 |
| kalakj | this is the problem with UBUNTU | 12:45 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: nopes .I just use it for editing my college programs . | 12:45 |
| qmt | robotti: exe = executable for windows OS, i assume | 12:45 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: its a big shame for ultrabook | 12:45 |
| kalakj | i have never faced any problem in wINDOWS, i have dual boot windows and Linux | 12:45 |
| kalakj | UBUNTU12.04LTS i am using currently | 12:45 |
| varunendra | sanav, have you tried powertop? | 12:45 |
| robotti | qmt: dos. and it is doing that with everything. when trying to open rar. or any format it is not supported in default. | 12:45 |
| lotuspsychje | !info powertop | 12:45 |
| ubottu | powertop (source: powertop): Linux tool to find out what is using power on a laptop. In component main, is extra. Version 2.1-0ubuntu1 (raring), package size 164 kB, installed size 476 kB | 12:45 |

| lotuspsychje | varunendra: tnx for tip | 12:46 |
| robotti | qmt: it just tells that failed and always about something about python | 12:46 |
| qmt | robotti, whats the program called? | 12:46 |
| varunendra | lotuspsychje, I have it installed, although I never really need it. ;) | 12:46 |
| sanav | varunendra: aha ! tried ,it only increase battery backup by half hour . | 12:46 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: did you load your battery full night before using it? | 12:47 |
| robotti | qmt: choose app to open file * dialog app | 12:47 |
| === accc_ is now known as accc | ||
| qmt | i have to leave. sorry. | 12:47 |
| kalakj | robotti: this will not work, you will get error msgs, these files are for Windows and will run on Windows, to make them executable on LInux you will have to install WINE or you can install virtual box, where you can virtually install WIndows in your LInux | 12:47 |
| varunendra | sanav, that's what I thought. Did you try to identify the source of drain? | 12:47 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: when my battery full , i disconnect it | 12:47 |
| robotti | kalakj: is it broken? | 12:47 |
| sanav | varunendra: yup , its because of backlit keyboard . or may be it because of desktop manager like gnome 3 and unity . | 12:48 |
| kalakj | robotti: no , try to run same file in Windows on your computer or any other computer, if their is no error, then they are not broken or corrupted | 12:48 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: which desktop manager you use ? | 12:48 |
| robotti | kalakj: no! I mean, that dialog program on ubuntu is broken | 12:49 |
| varunendra | sanav, like lotuspsychje , I also have win7 dual boot. And I don't get any noticeable difference in battery life in either win7 or Ubuntu 12.04. I'm using almost everything default. | 12:49 |
| robotti | kalakj: it is doing with every file | 12:49 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: unity by default | 12:49 |
| robotti | kalakj: like mp3 or acc | 12:49 |
| varunendra | oh, but lotuspsychje doesn't have a dual boot it seems :P | 12:49 |
| robotti | kalakj: or iso files | 12:49 |
| lotuspsychje | varunendra: no i clean installed 13.04, didnt use windows for years :p | 12:49 |
| robotti | kalakj: it is broken and I was asking why! | 12:50 |
| kalakj | robotti: is it doing with pic file and OGG file, is it able to open file and folders | 12:50 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: win 7 can't even install on my ultrabook .It don't support uefi mode .huhh ! during installation , it gave me error . | 12:50 |
| varunendra | lotuspsychje, I'll be in the same boat in some days. I have totally forgot when I last booted in it ;) | 12:50 |
| lotuspsychje | sanav: i would try ##hardware for asking default battery life of your hardware | 12:51 |
| lotuspsychje | varunendra: i found alternate packages enough for ubuntu to fully replace a 'windows' life :p | 12:51 |
| sanav | lotuspsychje: varunendra : thanks man .I'll try and get ubuntu on my system .Win 8 , some time sucks | 12:51 |

| kalakj | robotti: show us the screenshot of the error | 12:52 |
| Friberg_ | I'm giving up, again | 12:52 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: re-ask your issue here once in a while | 12:52 |
| varunendra | like vista was in comparison to xp | 12:52 |
| lotuspsychje | varunendra: true! | 12:52 |
| kalakj | robotti: use http://imagebin.org/ | 12:53 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: at other times, many more experts might solve your issue here | 12:53 |
| robotti | kalakj: http://robotti.kapsi.fi/error.png | 12:53 |
| Friberg_ | yepp.. ill retry sometime.. this is the second time i tried ubuntu. first time was 10 years ago. that acutally worked fine. | 12:53 |
| Friberg_ | i've been running debian since then | 12:53 |
| robotti | kalakj: is that normal behaviour? | 12:54 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: maybe mess with workspaces on your 6monitors | 12:55 |
| Friberg_ | maybe. I've never tried linux with more than two screens before.. so.. | 12:56 |

| === Ti-Lung is now known as Yinglong | ||
| robotti | kalakj: it is doing that with every file on system | 12:57 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: ok.. apperently someone had the same issue as i had. they tried fedora 19 with kde and that actually worked out of the box. | 12:59 |
| robotti | kalakj: http://robotti.kapsi.fi/applications.png | 13:00 |
| kalakj | robotti: open Ubuntu software centre | 13:00 |
| robotti | kalakj: ok? | 13:00 |
| kalakj | and install some other file manager | 13:00 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: here another article on 6 monitors: http://design.canonical.com/2011/12/improving-the-multi-monitor-experience-in-ubuntu/ | 13:01 |
| robotti | kalakj: it does not fix that file manager | 13:01 |
| robotti | kalakj: because it is about file dialog what use python application interface to find application for file. | 13:01 |
| robotti | and it is broken | 13:01 |
| robotti | kalakj: And I was searching information why is it broken | 13:02 |
| robotti | because it works quite well on other computers. | 13:02 |
| robotti | installing other file manager does not fix my nautilus | 13:02 |
| robotti | it is really bad fix | 13:02 |
| theadmin | robotti: Try reinstalling app-install-data | 13:02 |

| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: yep.. without usable info :P | 13:03 |
| kalakj | robotti: oh! letś try some method | 13:03 |
| kalakj | robotti: LOok in privacy settings | 13:04 |
| lotuspsychje | Friberg_: re-ask your issue here once in a while, im sure they can fix it | 13:04 |
| lmat | got it, nevermind :D | 13:04 |
| thisarm | no found utouch | 13:04 |
| theadmin | deanrock0: Ubuntu's most likely to follow in Debian's footsteps with something this major, so ask those people, might get a faster answer | 13:04 |
| kalakj | robotti: is there any option to check for applications online , i am using ubuntu 12.04 and what version you are using | 13:05 |
| Friberg_ | lotuspsychje: wil ldo | 13:05 |
| BluesKaj | Howdy all | 13:07 |
| kalakj | robotti: there are some changes in unity dash, have you recently upgraded your package manager, this might be a bug then | 13:07 |
| === Duality__ is now known as Duality | ||

| kalakj | theadmin: it is not finding applications online | 13:09 |
| theadmin | kalakj: ...Did you even look at the error message? | 13:09 |
| theadmin | kalakj: ParsingError: ParsingError in file '/usr/share/...' | 13:09 |
| theadmin | Happened to me before, normally purging and reinstalling app-install-data fixes the problem | 13:10 |
| robotti | kalakj: I installed two days ago this system. it is brand new install. and every packages are updated. | 13:10 |
| robotti | kalakj: I am using ubuntu 13.04 | 13:10 |
| theadmin | robotti: (see my message above, try purging and reinstalling "app-install-data") | 13:10 |
| kalakj | robotti: ask theadmin , he knows better than me on this problem, he may assist your better | 13:11 |
| robotti | kalakj: it seems so :) | 13:12 |
| robotti | theadmin: it will remove ubuntu-desktop | 13:12 |
| robotti | If I am going to purge app-install-data | 13:12 |
| robotti | and software center | 13:12 |
| theadmin | robotti: ubuntu-desktop is a metapackage, it doesn't actually do anything. Not a problem. It will remove the SC though, gotta reinstall that later | 13:12 |
| theadmin | robotti: (and a few other things, maybe taking a list is best, or maybe you can just "sudo apt-get --reinstall install app-install-data") | 13:13 |

| robotti | theadmin: no change on behaviour. | 13:17 |
| robotti | maybe I should re-install? | 13:17 |
| theadmin | robotti: Eh, that's always an option, if you don't have much important data/settings. By the way, I recommend using 12.04 as it's most stable (generally, stay on LTS unless you're the kind of person who wants everything latest) | 13:18 |

| robotti | theadmin: it is broken all my computers with ubuntu 13.04. It works right on computers with ubuntu 12.04 | 13:24 |
| robotti | theadmin: it seems to be 13.04 bug | 13:24 |
| theadmin | robotti: I'm on 13.04, works okay for me. | 13:24 |
| robotti | odd | 13:25 |
| robotti | :D | 13:25 |
| theadmin | robotti: But yes, LTS releases usually have less issues as they're released less often and so they get more polish and less bugs | 13:25 |
| theadmin | robotti: (and longer support is a bonus too) | 13:26 |
| robotti | theadmin: Maybe it is broken because I have installed some dev python libraries? | 13:27 |
| robotti | and maybe different versions of python. | 13:27 |
| theadmin | robotti: Quite unlikely... I have quite a bunch of those installed myself, and I have both Python2 and Python3 | 13:27 |

On a Mac right now and pressing control D in the terminal app, trying to detatch my screen in the remote server. Kinda stuck. | 13:58 |

| kostkon | !identify | samgabbay | 14:38 |
| ubottu | samgabbay: You can identify automatically by using your NickServ password as the server password in your IRC client. When identifying manually, do NOT send the command from a channel's tab, as a typo will give away your password. If that happens, identify and then type « /msg NickServ set password <new-password> » in the server tab as soon as possible. | 14:38 |

| b0red | mount -o remount /dev/pts doesn't solve it | 14:42 |
| b0red | i keep getting Can not write log, openpty() failed (/dev/pts not mounted?) | 14:42 |
| BrandonO | I have Windows 8, clicikng the install along side option, does it remove any of my data? Or does it create another partition without data lose? | 14:42 |
| Stanley00 | ClientAlive: 19.3 is a little too big. you can use tar to archive your data and use split to *split* it to many files | 14:42 |
| BrandonO | Or would I have to create my own partition to avoid data lose | 14:43 |
| Stanley00 | BrandonO: look at /host, it's usually there. | 14:43 |
| Stanley00 | BrandonO: sorry, misreading. Can you paste the output of "sudo fdisk -l" | 14:44 |
| ClientAlive | Stanley00: hmm... I had never heard of split. There is a man page for it tho so I guess I've had it all this time. | 14:44 |
| EDocToor | I have a "TouchScreen" device that requires X... does both ubuntu and kubuntu have access to X? | 14:44 |
| BrandonO | I haven't installed it yet, I'm jsut asking when I install it will anything happen to my current installation of Windows 8 by selecting the install along side others, and do I need to create my own partition first | 14:45 |
| Stanley00 | ClientAlive: it's part of coreutils :D | 14:45 |
| ClientAlive | Interesting... | 14:46 |
| ClientAlive | Stanley00: thx for the tip | 14:46 |
| Stanley00 | BrandonO: ah, I would like to select manually install, and then partitioning myself. | 14:46 |
| BrandonO | And partitioning from within the ubuntu installation won't wipe my current OS? | 14:47 |
| EDocToor | BrandonO, The install gives you choices ... just make sure that you understand the choices before you commit | 14:47 |
| BrandonO | Sorry if the questions are annoying I jsut want to be sure | 14:47 |
| BrandonO | I'm here to understand the choices, I'm not too sure on them | 14:47 |
| EDocToor | jsut=Just | 14:47 |
| BrandonO | It's a typo sorry | 14:48 |
| Stanley00 | ClientAlive: one more thing. if you use tar and split, and one of your disk lost, you will lost all of your data. | 14:49 |
| EDocToor | BrandonO, it is always wise to do a backup/clone before you do things that you do not understand.. and never do OS stuff when drinking | 14:49 |
| mumpitze1 | BrandonO: it can wipe your current OS. or it can shrink your current OS and install ubuntu besides. many things are possible | 14:49 |
| BrandonO | Which option shrinks my OS, that's what I wish to know | 14:49 |
| BrandonO | I'm going to back up once I know which option to chose | 14:49 |

| b0red | why? | 14:50 |
| b0red | or how can i fix this? | 14:50 |
| EDocToor | BrandonO, I use Macrium Reflect Free Cloning tool to Clone | 14:50 |
| Stanley00 | ClientAlive: yes, that's how split works. | 14:50 |
| Dickstar | WHATS COMMON IN A NIGGER AND A UNIVERSE?? BOTH HAS BLACK HOLE | 14:51 |
| ClientAlive | BrandonO: There is a program called clonezilla which can 'clone' your win 8 install. If anything goes sideways you can use that cloned image to put the thing back just like it was before you started - google "clonezilla" | 14:51 |
| ClientAlive | Stanley00: So do I use split to reassemble later? | 14:52 |
| BrandonO | Or so it's just like a Nandroid backup | 14:52 |

| Stanley00 | ClientAlive: yes. | 14:53 |
| ClientAlive | thx Stanley00 | 14:53 |
| daftykins | b00b00: well first off this isn't sendmail support. second, verify sounds like it might try looking for SPF records | 14:53 |
| BrandonO | I think I'm going to create a partition then install it there, seems easier | 14:53 |
| ubuntu_installer | HEy guys! | 14:54 |
| EDocToor | BrandonO, That is right | 14:54 |
| BrandonO | Many thanks! | 14:55 |
| EDocToor | ClientAlive, so your saying that I can use KDE and run X within KDE, thanks | 14:55 |
| ubuntu_installer | Question, I am installing Ubuntu, and I have Windows 7 already installed, so I have drive C, drive D and another unallocated drive, so in the install, I choose "something else", and created a new partition in the unlocated as following: / and /home and swap, now in the option device for boot loader installtion, I have a few options, /dev/sda, /dev/sda1 (Windows 7 loader), /dev/sda5, /dev/sda6 and /dev/sda7 | 14:56 |
| ubuntu_installer | I would like to dualboot it with windows, so which of those options should I choose? | 14:57 |
| ClientAlive | EDocToor: I haven't done it ever; but, as I understand things, just about any linux distro can have x installed to it (and most come that way). Whether there is configuration involed and how much I couldn't tell you though. | 14:57 |
| varunendra | ubuntu_installer, is it a UEFI based installation? | 14:58 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: Not that i KNOW | 14:58 |
| ubuntu_installer | *know | 14:58 |
| varunendra | ubuntu_installer, if it is a traditional BIOS based installation, then you must choose "/dev/sda" for grub installation | 14:59 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: when doing in terminal [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo UEFI || echo BIOS gives me Bios | 14:59 |
| Stanley00 | ClientAlive: I've just look at split, it has no option to join files, but you can use cat to join them later. | 15:00 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: Wont that break my windows 7? or that will make dualboot ? | 15:00 |
| varunendra | ubuntu_installer, I didn't even know that command to verify that. Thanks :D | 15:00 |
| ClientAlive | Stanley00: right on | 15:00 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: (long term gentoo user.. Ive used that many times ;p) | 15:01 |
| varunendra | you haven't begun the installation, right ? ubuntu_installer | 15:01 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: Not yet, I will send you a screenshot where I am, sef | 15:01 |
| varunendra | ubuntu_installer, you should create a Recovery disk from within win7 first. Just in case... | 15:02 |
| varunendra | then go ahead with installing the boot loader in /dev/sda | 15:02 |
| jj123 | hi trying to use gcc and I continue to get an unresolved symbol error. Looking at the library which I linked in I see the symbol using nm. Any other ideas. The args shouldn't be an issue as the function prototype args are void | 15:03 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: http://i.imgur.com/ko7Dxqv.png check this. | 15:03 |
| varunendra | ubuntu_installer, it will definitely overwrite the windows MBR, but grub will give you the option to boot it - hence dual boot. | 15:03 |
| EDocToor | ClientAlive, I was under the understanding that X was one graphical GUI and Kubuntu used a Different GUI or Graphical Program.. So to be Clear I should have asked, "Can X and KDE Kubuntu work at the same time, or do they conflict?" as I have a TOUCHSCREEN that requires X and I would like to know If It will work with KDE, if so, I can do the research" | 15:04 |
| ubuntu_installer | so from the screenshot, I should choose /dev/sda? Cool | 15:04 |
| ubuntu_installer | Will do that (my gf's laptop, really dont wanna mess it up :(.. y'know womens.. | 15:04 |
| th0r | so, the reason she doesn't want you to screw it up is because she is a girl? | 15:05 |
| EDocToor | LOL | 15:05 |
| ubuntu_installer | th0r: Nah, its because I know how she is ;) | 15:05 |
| varunendra | ubuntu_installer, your / is bigger than /home .. strange ! Any specific reasons? | 15:06 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: Not really, she wont be using home a lot, since she will install a lot of stuff as root, this would be better | 15:07 |
| Niggar_Babar | WHATS COMMON IN A NIGGER AND A UNIVERSE?? BOTH HAS BLACK HOLE | 15:07 |
| zipy | why do u seperate / and /home? | 15:07 |
| ubuntu_installer | good practise, she wont be staying with ubunut, so I separate home for other distro. | 15:08 |
| varunendra | ubuntu_installer, unless your gf is into some professional development stuff, she would hardly use anything above 10-12 GB in root. | 15:08 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: Yeah she is | 15:08 |
| varunendra | okkay then, makes sense :) | 15:08 |
| ubuntu_installer | I am her private CS teacher, so I will blow her mind | 15:08 |
| EDocToor | ubuntu_installer, so the teacher has a girlfriend.. too much information .. he he | 15:09 |

| varunendra | ubuntu_installer, do you have the recovery cd handy? Although it shouldn't be needed | 15:11 |
| ubuntu_installer | varunendra: Yeah, I do, otherwise I will fix it through grub itself | 15:11 |
| varunendra | yeah, boot repair can do that easily.. :) | 15:11 |
| ubuntu_installer | Yep, thanks buddy. | 15:12 |
| varunendra | You're welcome, and good luck ! | 15:12 |

| zipy | boot repair | 15:12 |

| varunendra | Popo, please do - "cat /etc/apt/sources.list | pastebinit" then post here the pastebin link it returns. | 15:32 |
| reisio | Ic3: I don't believe anyone is named Wifi | 15:32 |
| Ic3 | My wifi does not show up no matter where i look | 15:32 |
| dispirited | spent a whole day trying to change fan speed | 15:33 |
| varunendra | Ic3, Didn't you get some help a few hours ago? Sorry if I'm confusing you with someone else. | 15:33 |

| Ic3 | I am ic3kitten | 15:33 |
| === pfifo_ is now known as pfifo | ||
| Popo | varunendra: don't have pastebinit and cannot apt-get install it because of those dependency errors but I'll put it there manually... | 15:33 |
| varunendra | Ic3, yeah, that's what I guessed :P | 15:33 |
| Ic3 | hehe | 15:33 |
| dispirited | any idea about temperature trip points? | 15:33 |
| reisio | Ic3: your personal wireless router, you mean? | 15:34 |
| Ic3 | Im connected to (Wireless 3) right now, why can't I connect to it in Ubuntu | 15:34 |
| Ic3 | I cant even find it | 15:34 |
| Ic3 | or any wifi, it keeps asking me to fill out the ssid and bssid | 15:35 |
| Ic3 | and other tabs | 15:35 |
| varunendra | Ic3, so I remember we did *something* but not anything about what, lol. Please help me recall whatever we have already tried. | 15:35 |
| pfifo | Ic3, did youi run the wireless debugging script yet? | 15:35 |
| reisio | Ic3: what's your wireless device? | 15:35 |
| Ic3 | Networking and sharing center on windows vista~ The properties of my internet(WIFI) ...As far as I can tell, Ubuntu wants me to fill that stuff out | 15:36 |
| Ic3 | Device...device, not familiar with that term... you mean my integrated wireless reciever? | 15:37 |
| zephyr | I have a directory with many video files. How would I cat them all into one file, but keep them in sequential order? | 15:37 |
| pfifo | zephyr, transcode package has an avimerge program | 15:38 |
| varunendra | Ic3, just follow this post (again, perhaps) : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12350385 do what it asks to do and post here the link to the report it creates. | 15:39 |
| Ic3 | XD | 15:39 |
| zephyr | pfifo: wouldn't cat be much quicker? | 15:39 |
| Ari-Yang | what does it mean when dmesg | grep doesn't give any output? | 15:39 |
| wheatthin | cat won't work | 15:40 |
| pfifo | zephyr, it might not work as expected, but 'cat dcim*.avi >> output.avi' will do what you asked | 15:40 |
| wheatthin | unless you mean just by creating a list | 15:40 |
| zephyr | pfifo: hmm... actually just tried cat * >> bigfile and it only grabbed the first one. | 15:40 |
| Ic3 | ummm ...Yeahhh, I stil have a major minor problem with the pesky little Virus that took my downloading from me(Unable to download anything) | 15:40 |
| varunendra | Ari-Yang, you have to "grep *something*". If you do that and it returns nothing, it means that term did not exist in dmesg. | 15:41 |
| Ari-Yang | varunendra, yeah I did, for e.g. dmesg | grep radeon | 15:41 |
| Ari-Yang | didn't give me anything... though it did 7hr. ago | 15:41 |
| Haze_ | im trying to install lubuntu in vmware...i grabbed the 32-bit version and it says my CPU doesn't have "pae" and please download the correct kernel.... so i grabbed the 64-bit version and i686 cpu and please chooes the correct kernel | 15:42 |
| pfifo | zephyr, it grabbed them alll but like i said it didnt work as expected | 15:42 |
| Ari-Yang | where does dmesg get its output from? perhaps I can go and take a look in that specific file, varunendra. | 15:42 |
| Haze_ | anyone know what version i need to install | 15:42 |
| varunendra | Ari-Yang, then it means that the dmesg didn't have any instance of "radeon" in it. | 15:42 |
| Haze_ | i only see two different versions of lubuntu for windows | 15:42 |
| Haze_ | and neither one of them work | 15:42 |
| varunendra | Ari-Yang, /var/log/dmesg | 15:42 |
| Ari-Yang | ah, okay, thanks | 15:42 |
| reisio | Haze_: lubuntu for windows? | 15:42 |
| Haze_ | reisio installing it in vwmare | 15:42 |
| Haze_ | reisio sorry didnt mean "for windows" | 15:42 |
| reisio | Haze_: what's your computer's processor? | 15:42 |
| Haze_ | anyways i tried both the 32 bit and 64 bit and both say its the wrong kernel | 15:43 |
| Haze_ | reisio one sec | 15:43 |
| varunendra | Ari-Yang, another place to look is /var/log/syslog. It sometimes contains something important that doesn't appear in dmesg. | 15:43 |
| pfifo | Ari-Yang, dmesg gets its info from /proc/kmsg | 15:43 |
| reisio | Haze_: well they can't both be wrong :p | 15:43 |
| reisio | Haze_: some reason you're not using VirtualBox? | 15:43 |
| Ic3 | varunendra, Dropbox appeared with a bunch of code i dont understand XD, now what | 15:43 |
| Ari-Yang | pfifo, thanks. I'll take a look there too | 15:44 |
| pfifo | Ari-Yang, you cant :) | 15:44 |
| varunendra | Ic3, it is a script. You had to "right-click" > save link as... to save it as a file. | 15:44 |
| Ic3 | I rightclick and dropbox pops up in another window with the code embedded in it lol | 15:45 |
| pfifo | Ari-Yang, it only shows the most recent message, then your kernel logger copies it to someplace useful | 15:45 |
| Ari-Yang | kk | 15:45 |
| Ic3 | lmfao..... <contained a virus and was deleted> just what I thought | 15:46 |
| varunendra | Ic3, you can just copy-paste it. But that is prone to errors, depending upon browser and your method to save. | 15:46 |
| Ic3 | thats my only option unless I find some God-be-ridden way to fix my *** link scanner... | 15:47 |
| caleb_ | How can make a window manager show up in my login screen so I can use it? I am trying to use rio, and I don't know how to start it before starting another desktop environment. | 15:47 |
| varunendra | Ic3, don't you have the option to connect via cable on Ubuntu? That would have been easier | 15:48 |
| zephyr | pfifo: Giving transcode a look, thanks. | 15:48 |
| Popo | varunendra: I removed some lines from sources.list so that apt-get update finished... Still cannot run apt-get install or apt-get -f install | 15:48 |
| Ic3 | *face-palm* I'll try | 15:48 |
| Ic3 | How ...oh right, I was up all nite lol! | 15:48 |
| Ic3 | brb | 15:48 |
| varunendra | Popo, same error again? | 15:49 |

| varunendra | Popo, how does "sudo dpkg --configure -a" go? You can force-install, but I don't think it would be recommended.. should be last resort in my opinion.. | 15:52 |
| Popo | varunendra: That gives me this "dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of linux-generic-pae: linux-generic-pae depends on linux-image-generic-pae (= 3.2.0.39.47); however: Version of linux-image-generic-pae on system is 3.2.0.48.58. linux-generic-pae depends on linux-headers-generic-pae (= 3.2.0.39.47); however: Version of linux-headers-generic-pae on system is 3.2.0.48.58. dpkg: error processing linux-generic-pae (--confi | 15:53 |

| Ic3 | Is it possible to install skype or facebook messenger on here if i have the files on a thumb drive? | 16:06 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, geany is a bit tricky to setup for C, you need to use automake or autoconf to create a makefile and a real linux style package, then it works like a charm... however python scripts work right out of the box | 16:06 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: Do you know something simpler for C?? | 16:07 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, just pull up a terminal and compile by hand 'gcc untitled.c && a.out' or check out eclipse to take care of all the autoconf crap for you. | 16:07 |

| pizzadude | Hi, I noticed in some of my system logs this line: ptrace of non-child pid was attempted by gdb | 16:18 |
| pizzadude | What does it mean? | 16:18 |
| pizzadude | and Why is it happening? | 16:18 |
| LinuxNewbish | well do Apport usually asked you for the password and so Mr reisio ? | 16:18 |
| reisio | LinuxNewbish: apport? | 16:18 |
| thesheff17 | anyone have a clue why both my ctrl keys don't work now after an update? This is driving me crazy | 16:19 |

| reisio | nice try :p | 16:22 |
| LinuxNewbish | if i make it a root can i remove that or i have to remove the module ? pfifo | 16:22 |
| th0r | pizzadude, have you tried to find out what gdb is? | 16:22 |
| pfifo | LinuxNewbish, since you new to linux, you really should let others do the bug reporting and concentrate your efforts to learning the OS itself... apport is just a bug reporting tool | 16:22 |
| pizzadude | gnu debugger | 16:22 |
| pizzadude | but i want to know why gdb is trying to ptrace a random pid of some process | 16:23 |
| pizzadude | is that malware | 16:23 |
| pizzadude | i was wondering if it was malware trying to hijack one of my processes | 16:24 |
| pfifo | pizzadude, gdb can attach itself to any running program, and when it does itll give that message, if your using gdb then you can ignore it as its not a security threat | 16:24 |
| drvanon | Hello guys, I'm trying to install mint to my friend's asus r500v. I have I installed it 2 times, and both times it just started windows 8, instead of grub -> linux mint | 16:24 |
| pizzadude | i didn't invoke gdb pfifo | 16:24 |
| reisio | drvanon: sounds like you'll have to install grub manually | 16:25 |
| reisio | alas, someone is going to tell you that mint is off topic here any moment | 16:25 |
| pizzadude | does gdb ever just randomly try to attach itself to a process? even if you didn't start gdb? | 16:25 |
| LinuxNewbish | thanks pfifo | 16:26 |
| pfifo | pizzadude, no, it shouldnt, does anyone else have access to your computer? | 16:26 |
| pizzadude | nope | 16:26 |
| pizzadude | and i checked auth logs and there's nothing out of the ordinary | 16:26 |
| pfifo | pizzadude, do you have gdb installed? | 16:27 |
| pizzadude | yes | 16:27 |
| pfifo | pizzadude, do you do any development or compile your own packages? | 16:27 |
| pizzadude | i compile some packages | 16:27 |
| pizzadude | but i haven't had to use gdb | 16:28 |
| pfifo | pizzadude, it could be the configure script checking for ptrace by using gdb... or if you run the test suites they may invoke gdb | 16:29 |
| pizzadude | yeah but it happens at times when i'm not compiling stuff | 16:29 |
| pizzadude | like when i'm logging out | 16:29 |

| Ic3 | After everything else, then what? | 16:56 |
| pfifo | it should have made a file 'wireless-info.txt' put that file into a pastebin or upload it somewhere somehow, we need to see it | 16:57 |

| harris | anyone know some beginner robotics kits that are cheap | 16:59 |
| holstein | Guest9423: you would have needed to know you wanted the operating system to span multiple drives in the beginning.. what you can do now is mount a hard drive and move some data over onto it.. and simlink or just keep track | 16:59 |
| pfifo | Ic3, no, again, you pasted the script, you need to run the script to create 'wireless-info.txt' and then paste THAT file | 16:59 |
| pfifo | !ask | coolbuddy | 17:00 |
| ubottu | coolbuddy: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 17:00 |

| varunendra | Ic3, did you enter the "wget ...." command in terminal? | 17:02 |
| pfifo | Guest9423, thats right, things get installed according to the linux file hierarchy structure, if you need more disk space either resize your root partiton or mount a seperate partition on /home for your personal files | 17:02 |
| holstein | harris: i would try a supported channel, or look up about arduino | 17:02 |

| Vec_ | Hey, i plugged in an external hdd via usb to my linux box, how do i access the contents of it? | 17:05 |
| dmannn | no idea guys ? | 17:06 |
| holstein | Vec_: depending on if the format is supported by linux, you should see it in the file manager you are using | 17:06 |
| Vec_ | holstein: You know what, my bad. i wrote mount /dev/ssd1 instead of /dev/sdd1 | 17:06 |

| B0r3dw15dom | @histo, hi.. I downloaded ssh server into my android .. now how do i connect it to my ubuntu machine? | 17:07 |
| coolbuddy | pfifo: i don't have etc/fancontrol folder. i get """ /usr/sbin/pwmconfig: There are no pwm-capable sensor modules installed """ on pwmconfig. | 17:07 |
| holstein | B0r3dw15dom: if you just want to connect the 2, try the server on the ubuntu machine, and a client on the android.. if you just want to share files, plug the android in, or try something like airdroid | 17:08 |
| pfifo | dmannn, i have no idea about smb4 and ad, but ive run into password problems with samba before, I had to use smbpasswd to setup user accounts, thats all I got, hope it helps | 17:08 |
| holstein | B0r3dw15dom: otherwise, you would need more info on the server running on the android, which would be supported by the creator of the app | 17:09 |
| coolbuddy | pfifo: i noticed that fan turns on over the trip point. can i change the trip point ? | 17:09 |
| pfifo | coolbuddy, yes you can, its all explained in that guide | 17:11 |

| B0r3dw15dom | holstein, All I want to do is transfer few of my files over wifi from my ubuntu pc to android phone.. I am new to linux as well as android. | 17:12 |
| Ic3 | It would be easy to tell me exactly what to do, word for word | 17:13 |
| reisio | B0r3dw15dom: the simplest is using bluetooth (_if_ it just works) | 17:13 |
| reisio | followed by an "ftp" client (andftp) using sshd | 17:13 |
| pfifo | Ic3, you have to download a script, run it, and then give us the file it created... thats cut and dry, why are you having trouble with this? | 17:13 |
| holstein | B0r3dw15dom: airdroid or some wifi sharing app that is not supported here would work best/easiset | 17:13 |
| reisio | followed by a local web server | 17:13 |

| samgabbay | hi im going awway for a week and im taking my second pc with me how can i install wubi or ubuntu on it but have the ability to quickly uninstall ubuntu when i need to | 17:14 |
| varunendra | Ic3, open a terminal, then copy-paste this command in it (without quotes) : "wget -N -t 5 -T 10 http://dl.dropbox.com/u/57264241/wireless_script && chmod +x wireless_script && ./wireless_script" | 17:14 |
| pfifo | Ic3, 'sh ./myscript.sh' | 17:14 |
| B0r3dw15dom | reisio, the files size is more than a few hundred MB so bluetooth will take a lot of time .. | 17:14 |
| B0r3dw15dom | holstein, will try airdroid and let you know | 17:14 |
| B0r3dw15dom | thnx | 17:14 |
| holstein | B0r3dw15dom: you can let me know in the offtopic channel.. thanks :) | 17:15 |
| xangua | samgabbay: would't take a usb stick be more easier¿ | 17:15 |
| reisio | what makes you think one wireless solution is going to be faster than another? | 17:15 |
| B0r3dw15dom | sure thanks to you all | 17:15 |
| reisio | using a wire just makes it a lot more complicated is all, worth the wait really | 17:15 |
| samgabbay | xangua, but the problem with that is that i have to partition and all and i just want to quickly install and uninstall without creating the bsd again and all | 17:15 |
| holstein | Ic3: you might want to consider getting supported hardware... dealing wth vendors that do not support linux can be challenging, and it may *never* work as you want/need | 17:16 |

| Vec_ | I did a cp -r folder /folder/dest -- now my terminal is kinda afk, i can write to it, but it just sits there. Im assuming its copying without showing some kind of progressbar. Is this normal behavior? | 17:16 |
| xangua | samgabbay: just remove the usb stick ;) | 17:17 |
| samgabbay | xangua, huh? isisnt thaat the demo? | 17:17 |
| xangua | !persistent | samgabbay | 17:17 |

| CarlFK | Vec_: cp -r -v folder... would have given you status of what files it was copying | 17:17 |
| pfifo | Vec_, yes its silent, use 'cp -v' to make it verbose | 17:17 |
| Vec_ | Alright, thanks guys. | 17:18 |

| zykotick9 | CarlFK: fyi, you don't need separate - for each switches, "cp -rv folder.." works fine (less typing) | 17:18 |
| Lynxx | holstein, like which? | 17:18 |
| pfifo | !yay | suore | 17:18 |
| ubottu | suore: Glad you made it! :-) | 17:18 |
| samgabbay | xangua, is it okay if i instal, it thru the wubi on this page http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ | 17:19 |
| xangua | samgabbay: and the live cd/usb/session is not a demo, it's a full working linux distro | 17:19 |
| B0r3dw15dom | CarlFK, connecting through usb is what i am doing now.. but wanted to connect through wifi in order to connect without cables | 17:19 |
| holstein | Lynxx: there are many.. i would start with a web search, or browse something like distrowatch | 17:19 |
| CarlFK | Vec_: um.. are you really copying eveything in folder into itself? It may never stop | 17:19 |
| Ic3 | I can do this, I'm not a complete idiot, I havent forgotten anything you have said, I don't understand how to run the script. I'm assuming thats the terminal? And If this is too hard, I will ask my friend | 17:20 |
| Vec_ | CarlFK: :o | 17:20 |
| pfifo | CarlFK, cp isnt that stupid, it wont do that | 17:20 |
| Vec_ | CarlFK: Im trying to copy a folder that has lots of files into a folder in /srv/storage | 17:20 |
| CarlFK | pfifo: I was hoping so... | 17:20 |
| holstein | Ic3: where did you get the script? | 17:20 |
| Vec_ | CarlFK: I wrote (exactly) sudo cp -r Server /srv/storage | 17:20 |
| Ic3 | I downloaded a script from earlier and now all it has on it is that thing you told me to add | 17:21 |
| CarlFK | Vec_: it's normally better to not make stuff up when you tell us what you are doing :) | 17:21 |

| samgabbay | xangua, is it okay if i install it from the wubi here? | 17:21 |
| samgabbay | http://releases.ubuntu.com/13.04/ | 17:21 |
| suore | But fynny ist dat Windows XP and Windows 7 cannot install at GPT disc type... Ubuntu normal install at GPT xD | 17:21 |
| Vec_ | CarlFK: I see now that folder folder/dest would lead you guys to believe it was the same folder, hehe, sorry ill try to be clearer in the future ^^ | 17:22 |
| xangua | samgabbay: i don't know what is your obsession with wubi, but do as you wish | 17:23 |
| pfifo | Ic3, to run a script you type a period "." followed by a forward slash "/" followed by the name of the script "wireless_script" so all combined together you get "./wireless_script", then press enter to execute the command | 17:23 |
| samgabbay | xangua, its because its easier to uninstall ubuntu after and i dont have to rebuild the bsd | 17:23 |
| pfifo | holstein, Ic3 is using this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082305&p=12350385#post12350385 | 17:24 |

| xangua | djono: why would it¿ | 17:25 |
| nitro1 | I have Ubuntu 12.04 and USB sound card Focusrite Scarlet 2i4, every time its I play sound there is 3-4 buzzing sound before it plays the audio normally, same with recording. | 17:25 |
| zykotick9 | pfifo: assuming the script is already marked executable ;) | 17:25 |
| holstein | nitro1: using JACK? | 17:25 |
| djono | like if i have kubuntu de on top of unity. Unity wouldnt run in the background? | 17:25 |
| nitro1 | yes | 17:25 |
| nitro1 | ubuntu 12.04 dreamStudio | 17:25 |
| holstein | djono: you choose KDE, and boot into KDE.. unity wont be running | 17:25 |
| samgabbay | xangua, cause last time i installed 13.04 i had to remake the bootloade | 17:26 |
| pfifo | zykotick9, ive never seen anyone be this confused about using the terminal | 17:26 |
| xangua | djono: unsless You set it to run both at the same time, no | 17:26 |

| wilee-nilee | djono, They will share apps though is all. | 17:26 |
| wilee-nilee | at least some | 17:26 |
| reisio | you can't really run them at the same time in the same X session | 17:26 |
| djono | cool. i like booting into de for a fresh look. Any websites about all linux DE's | 17:26 |
| holstein | nitro1: ask dick for support.. dick macinnis.. otherwise, try to replicate your issue using the ubuntustudio live CD, and then you can take advantage of the official support avenues.. or, try #opensourcemusicians | 17:27 |
| coolbuddy | pfifo: the link you gave is confusing. i have a file /sys/class/thermal/thermal_zone0/trip_point_2_temp with value 70000. i couldn't change that value even with root permissions. | 17:27 |
| pfifo | coolbuddy, thats right, you use lm-sensors to make the adjustment | 17:27 |
| reisio | djono: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desktop_environment#Gallery | 17:28 |
| Ic3 | Am I supposed to be pasting the command is some sort of command prompt or the actual script then entering it | 17:28 |
| xangua | reisio: you can run parts of it, like plasma...can't you¿¿ :P | 17:28 |
| reisio | parts, sure | 17:28 |
| reisio | you can't really run two window managers simultaneously in the same session, though | 17:28 |
| pfifo | Ic3, you need to be at the terminal for this | 17:28 |
| Ic3 | Terminal | 17:28 |

| pfifo | Ic3, thats right, all this needs to be done on the terminal, you have a terminal emulator installed on your system, open the dash and search for 'terminal' | 17:31 |

| pfifo | coolbuddy, just keep following the guide and if you get stuck somewhere ask questions about it here | 17:34 |

| samgabbay | Im leaving my PC with ubuntu home for a week and i want to install ubuntu on my other laptop but the problem is that, i want to use something easy like wubi, Due to i don't want to rebuild the windows bootloader. | 17:35 |
| samgabbay | use wubi or an easier way to install? | 17:35 |
| holstein | juggle: if you want to isolate just one app, try synaptic.. it might be easier for you | 17:35 |
| juggle | thank you zero2XIII | 17:35 |
| holstein | samgabbay: why not just install to a USB stick? | 17:35 |
| pfifo | juggle, its apt-get update first and then 'sudo apt-get upgrade <package name>' | 17:35 |
| samgabbay | holstein, because it runs fasster when its installed no? | 17:36 |
| samgabbay | and my keys are too small | 17:36 |
| juggle | thank you for answers | 17:36 |
| coolbuddy | pfifo: thanks. i'll look thoroughly into the guide. | 17:37 |
| holstein | samgabbay: install it then.. | 17:37 |
| samgabbay | holstein, but should i use wubi cause i dont whant to rebuild the bootloader | 17:38 |
| holstein | samgabbay: if you have restrictions, or limitations, you'l have to work within those restrictions.. i would install to a USB stick and not worry about the speed.. should be acceptable.. | 17:38 |
| holstein | samgabbay: doesnt bother me rebuilding a bootloader.. or using GRUB with windows later.. or dual booting.. you need to answer those questions for yourself | 17:38 |

| varunendra | can you connect now? | 17:46 |
| Ic3 | Y-Yes | 17:46 |

| tannji | varunendra, thanks = ) | 17:50 |
| varunendra | :) | 17:50 |
| varunendra | ic3_, another idea? about what? | 17:51 |
| ic3_ | I would like to play my music now lol, .mp3 format | 17:51 |
| ic3_ | Says I need to download the mpeg something hold on... | 17:52 |
| pfifo | ic3_, 'sudo apt-get install vlc' one and done | 17:52 |
| mehwork | to upgrade from ubuntu server 12.10 to 13.04 do I just run: sudo do-release-upgrade? | 17:53 |
| reisio | ic3_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats | 17:53 |
| reisio | http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=names&suite=all§ion=all&keywords=mp3fs | 17:53 |
| xangua | ic3_: ubuntu-restricted-extras package will install audio and video codecs and also openjdk, adobe flash plugin and other extra stuff | 17:53 |
| k1l_ | mehwork: yes | 17:53 |
| zero2XIII | pfifo: ic3_: sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras | 17:53 |
| pfifo | zero2XIII, why do you need a JRE to play mp3s? | 17:54 |
| k1l_ | mehwork: but backups could be handy when murphys law strikes back _,p | 17:54 |
| ic3_ | I love commands thanks | 17:54 |
| zero2XIII | pfifo: you don't, but that is a metapackage.... | 17:54 |
| ic3_ | And Yes, I would like to use the rythembox even though I have vlc on windows | 17:55 |
| ic3_ | Can my box view videos? | 17:55 |
| pfifo | zero2XIII, vlc installs just the right media codecs and comes with the vlc player | 17:55 |
| mehwork | k1l_: what's the best way to backup all important files quickly? I have to upgrade a server and i don't know if my boss put any important files on it yet and he's out of town | 17:55 |
| pfifo | mehwork, rsync over ssh | 17:56 |
| mehwork | pfifo: well that would be manually knowing which files to backup, but my question was more about how to do a bigger sweeping backup | 17:56 |
| reisio | sshfs makes that a little simpler | 17:56 |
| k1l_ | mehwork: or make a complete image with dd | 17:56 |
| reisio | mehwork: rsync can backup everything, if you point it at / | 17:56 |
| zero2XIII | pfifo: if he is going for a "minimal but working" install. Yes. Next he wants to transcode them, or video, or browse facebook and need flash... Everything has a pro and con.. Just gave an option, not the deffinit solution... | 17:57 |
| reisio | a complete image is overkill/a waste of time | 17:57 |
| pfifo | reisio, you should be able to tell rsync to only copy files that have a timestamp newer than XXX date | 17:58 |
| mehwork | reisio: what's the diff betwen a complete image and backing up all of / though | 17:58 |
| reisio | pfifo: mehwork | 17:58 |
| reisio | mehwork: the former is a huge waste of time and space | 17:58 |
| === insub is now known as derp | ||
| mehwork | interesting, thanks | 17:58 |
| mehwork | rsync in it is, as always then | 17:58 |
| reisio | indeed | 17:58 |
| mehwork | whoever invented rsync should win the nobel peace prize | 17:59 |
| reisio | you can also just tar up / | 17:59 |
| reisio | yeah they really should | 17:59 |
| reisio | or maybe a prize that's actually worth winning | 17:59 |
| mehwork | hehe | 17:59 |
| reisio | something not dedicated to the memory of a mass murder, perhaps | 17:59 |
| pfifo | like the MTV music video award | 17:59 |
| reisio | :D | 18:00 |
| kplong | Can anyone recommend a tutorial on configuring central user authentication via LDAP or similar? it really very cim | 18:00 |
| mehwork | i'd watch rsync if it made a music video | 18:01 |
| mehwork | if n'sync can win an mtv music award, i'm sure rsync can | 18:01 |
| === DYSW is now known as DYSW_afk | ||
| ic3_ | Excellent, now I have one more issue then I should be done with you guys for today, is there any way to wipe windows from my system entirely? | 18:03 |
| mehwork | reisio: is there a way to tar it up and see progress as it's tar'ing? I get freaked out when i can't see anything happening for hours | 18:03 |
| mehwork | but i don't want lots of output either because stdout slows everything down | 18:04 |
| mehwork | maybe rsync with -P would be best | 18:04 |
| pfifo | ic3_, wait until you do a fresh install and just delete its partitions (you could delete now too, but might as well wait until your able to setup partitions correctly) | 18:04 |
| ic3_ | Makes sense, I should wait til I have a cd-r with 800mb too so I can keep this nice OS | 18:05 |
| reisio | mehwork: watch -n 300 du -hs /destination/foo.tar | 18:05 |
| ic3_ | Thank you guys so much, I didnt lose one hair from stress XD | 18:06 |
| pfifo | ic3_, you said you were using wubi correct? if thts the case then youll need windows anyway | 18:06 |
| Vec_ | So how does one unmount something ? ^^ | 18:06 |
| ic3_ | wubi, yes | 18:06 |
| pfifo | Vec_, 'sudo umount /path/to/something' | 18:06 |
| Vec_ | pfifo: +1 cookie @ u | 18:07 |
| Umair | is there a web application (preferably written in Python or Node) that connects to terminal and lets me run commands and see stdout in a list with pagination? | 18:07 |
| reisio | yup | 18:07 |
| pfifo | ic3_, yeah, get a livecd, do a fresh install and use your whole disk dedicated to ubuntu | 18:07 |
| ic3_ | I will | 18:08 |
| ic3_ | bye guys | 18:08 |
| Vec_ | pfifo: "unmount" command seems not to exist | 18:08 |
| reisio | adios | 18:08 |
| pfifo | Vec_, minus the n 'umount' | 18:08 |
| Vec_ | oh, sorry. thanks | 18:08 |
| pfifo | Vec_, or 'mount -u' | 18:08 |
| Bubo | Is there like a fast way to install ubuntu 64bit on UEFI laptop? | 18:10 |
| reisio | if the installer doesn't just work, you'd have to know what you're doing to do it fast | 18:10 |
| Bubo | Installer? as in Wubi? | 18:11 |
| pfifo | Bubo, debootstrap and a mile long command, but thats assuming you know debootstrap (it will take a long time to learn) | 18:11 |
| Bubo | Isn't there a way like on non-UEFI PCs | 18:12 |
| Bubo | Just make a partition and install | 18:12 |

| zamabe | Not really an ubuntu question, but this is where I got pointed. Having issues getting maps to show up in xastir. They show up as screenshots in ~/.xastir/map_cache, but not on the screen. | 18:19 |
| pfifo | Umair, i think you might be looking for something like this http://code.google.com/p/shellinabox/ | 18:19 |
| reisio | zamabe: on the screen? | 18:20 |
| ActionParsnip | pfifo: looks cool. No client needed eh... | 18:21 |
| pfifo | ActionParsnip, props on all the work you do on LP, never realized you were so active | 18:22 |
| zamabe | reisio, by default xastir shows outlines of areas, not topo or highway maps. If I enable maps, I get screenshots of the area using the proper roadmap in ~/.xastir, but the screen still shows the outline map. | 18:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pfifo: cheers dude. yeah its a daily thing :-) | 18:22 |
| southern | hey | 18:23 |
| southern | I need some help | 18:23 |
| southern | I have an Ubuntu 12.04 Server (headless) with Virtualbox | 18:24 |
| southern | Virtualbox 4.2 | 18:24 |
| southern | and I can not enable 3D accelaration | 18:24 |
| ActionParsnip | southern: did you install the guest additions? | 18:25 |
| southern | and virtual machine doesn't start because of it | 18:25 |
| Umair | pfifo: thanks this is close | 18:25 |
| reisio | southern: nope | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | southern: if its a server, why do you need 3D? | 18:25 |
| reisio | your headless server did not not start because it's missing 3d accel | 18:25 |
| southern | ActionParsnip: do you mean on the host side? | 18:25 |
| ActionParsnip | southern: in the guest. but the server has no GUI | 18:25 |
| southern | reiso: okay, how can I turn it on? | 18:26 |
| southern | ActionParsnip: Actually it is already installed | 18:26 |
| dshap | Hey all - i'm a software developer with limited linux knowledge (i know how to get around with the command line, know basics about file permissions, etc..) and my goal is to setup/manage the deployment of a simple web application. I know the stack I want to use (nginx/uwsgi/django) but I want to learn linux/ubuntu fundamentals so I can have a better handle on things. Can anyone recommend any articles/books/etc.. that someone like me should r | 18:26 |
| ActionParsnip | southern: the server is text based, why do you need 3D for text? | 18:26 |
| southern | and it requires 3D support on the host side | 18:27 |
| ActionParsnip | !manual | dshap | 18:27 |

| Ari-Yang | dshap, you're probably better off just by googling.... | 18:29 |
| karthikeyan | Hello | 18:29 |
| ActionParsnip | southern: the server doesnt need 3D. its all text. Try the boot option: vga16fb.modeset=1 | 18:29 |
| brontosaurusrex | dshap, ubuntu server docs | 18:30 |
| ActionParsnip | dshap: it nay have server stuff. i suggest you use the desktop OS to get used to the OS | 18:30 |
| dshap | brontosaurusrex: will take a look at that, thanks | 18:31 |
| ActionParsnip | southern: you can use Unity2D at the login screen. No 3D needed (i assume you installed server then installed the desktop) | 18:31 |

I install Ubuntu, then KDE, and then Kompiz, but if I change from Kwin to Compiz in Window Manager`s settings, the screen blinks, then the headers disappear from the windows, then the screen bliks again and I see a message about changing the Manager back to Kwin, but when writting "compiz --replace", the headers change, but the windows don`t move. Can you help me? | 18:38 |
| theadmin | wilee-nilee: Actually, Cinnamon is in the Ubuntu repos since 13.04. :) | 18:38 |

| ActionParsnip | akawolf: no idea why you'd want to. Kwin can do a lot of eye candy like conpiz. | 18:39 |
| southern | ActionParsnip: and we unable to disable the 3D accel in the settings | 18:39 |
| theadmin | Global_Radio: Not sure what the issue is, just joined | 18:39 |
| akaWolf | reisio: no, Kwin -- default | 18:39 |
| southern | ActionParsnip: because it is always turned it on | 18:39 |
| reisio | akaWolf: run ccsm and enable window decorations | 18:39 |
| reisio | akaWolf: oh kubuntu, okay | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | southern: you can, also disable 2D accelleration | 18:39 |

| akaWolf | reisio: thanks, it's work, how can I make Compiz decorator by default in the KDE? | 18:59 |
| reisio | akaWolf: probably just logging out and saving your session will suffice | 19:00 |
| reisio | otherwise look to KDE's auto start features | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | bun123: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | akawolf: all that effort and issues.....for what? worth it? | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | bun123: known issue | 19:00 |
| bun123 | ActionParsnip: thanks, do you know how can I remove the bad driver? | 19:01 |
| Ari-Yang | bun123, fglrx is horrible (has horrible 2d acceleration) | 19:01 |
| bun123 | may I use free drivers? | 19:01 |
| akaWolf | ActionParsnip: Compiz provide much more beautiful funcionality | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | bun123: you can use software centre. or disable the driver in the app you enabled them in | 19:01 |
| Ari-Yang | if you want to remove it you can just go to "Additional Drivers" and install the open source one, then after reboot (and possibly apt-get purge flgrx) | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | akawolf: but look at all that messing around. not worth it | 19:02 |
| bun123 | I downloaded it from the amd web, there is not in additional drivers | 19:02 |
| Ari-Yang | bun123.... oh then you have to use the uninstall command (which I forget) | 19:03 |
| Ari-Yang | you can simply google it. "how to uninstall fglrx form amd website" or something | 19:03 |
| Vec_ | Anyone here who knows how to get a samba share to work? | 19:03 |

| ActionParsnip | a1recon: sure | 19:04 |
| compdoc | Vec_, are the smbd and nmbd services running? | 19:04 |
| Vec_ | compdoc: yeah | 19:04 |
| compdoc | Vec_, whats not working? | 19:05 |
| Vec_ | I can access another folder ive shared with "guest ok = yes" enabled | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | vec_: nautilus can setup shares. i assume you are using gnone desktop | 19:05 |
| Vec_ | I simply cannot logon to the folder that has restricted acces | 19:05 |
| Vec_ | ActionParsnip: using terminal and samba | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | vec_: ahh i always use user based accesses | 19:05 |
| Vec_ | Ive set the group to own the folder, set the permissions. then ive shared the folder through smb.conf - the windows machine sees the folder | 19:06 |
| pfifo | Vec_, did you use smbpasswd to setup the username and password | 19:06 |
| Vec_ | pfifo: No, i used adduser and stuff | 19:06 |
| pfifo | Vec_, samba has its own stuff | 19:06 |
| Vec_ | oh | 19:06 |
| Vec_ | well that explains | 19:06 |
| Vec_ | I should probably use SWAT for this configing, but im learning 1000% more derping around with the terminal ^^ | 19:07 |
| akaWolf | ActionParsnip: yeah, but I want my world to became a little better ^__^ | 19:07 |

| A1Recon | I used to code BASIC back in 8th grade and right now im trying C. So I am having problems with Geany.And using gedit and compiling also gives errors if the files is not under home directory... Is there an IDE or program for C where i can write the code and get the output? | 19:08 |
| reisio | A1Recon: I'd just use a text editor and cc | 19:09 |
| reisio | or if you want to get serious, get into make & autotools | 19:09 |
| Vec_ | pfifo, ActionParsnip: adding smbpasswd's to the users made it work :) | 19:11 |
| Vec_ | sweet, thanks | 19:11 |
| A1Recon | reisio: I used gedit but i got errors .... | 19:13 |
| jackarg | hey, how do I make a home partiton in ubuntu without booting from a live cd? I think that's what it's called, just a partition to store your files if ever you have to reinstall your os | 19:13 |
| ActionParsnip | vec_: great :-) | 19:13 |
| reisio | jackarg: http://www.google.com/search?q=home%20partition%20after%20the%20fact | 19:14 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, if you got errors during compilation, that has nothing todo with gedit or geany. can you pastebin these errors | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | jackarg: if you have no free space you will need the livecd so the partitions you resize are unused | 19:14 |
| jackarg | reisio why "after the fact" ? | 19:15 |
| jackarg | ActionParsnip I have a lot of free space on my hard drive if that's what you mean | 19:15 |
| ActionParsnip | jackarg: but is it unallocated? | 19:16 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: bash: ./Hello_World: Permission denied | 19:16 |
| jackarg | ActionParsnip no | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: is the file marked as executable | 19:16 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: yes | 19:16 |
| ActionParsnip | jackarg: then you need livecd | 19:16 |
| jackarg | I found something, wouldn't this work? http://www.howtogeek.com/116742/how-to-create-a-separate-home-partition-after-installing-ubuntu/ | 19:17 |
| reisio | jackarg: you can do it during install as well | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | jackarg: to resize a partition it needs to be unmounted. which cannot happen if your booted OS is on that partition | 19:17 |
| reisio | jackarg: just do the manual partitioning in that case | 19:17 |
| A1Recon | ActionParsnip: i right clicked "Hello_World" > properties > and got this Type: executable (application/x-executable) | 19:17 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: or run: chmod +x ./Hello_World | 19:18 |
| ActionParsnip | a1recon: is the file owned by your user? | 19:18 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, can you pastebin the output of 'ls -l Hello_World' | 19:18 |
| jackarg | reisio and ActionParsnip slow down I'm quite noobish, what do you mean? Do I really need to boot a livecd to resize a partition? | 19:18 |
| reisio | jackarg: are you already installed? | 19:19 |
| ActionParsnip | jackarg: if you boot your OS it uses a partition, the one with the system files on. It is mounted and in use | 19:19 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: -rw------- 1 user user 7302 Jun 30 23:35 Hello_World | 19:19 |
| jackarg | reisio yes | 19:19 |
| rypervenche | jackarg: It depends on if you want to shrink or enlargen the partition. | 19:19 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, can you pastebin the output of 'file Hello_World' | 19:20 |
| reisio | jackarg: then it's after the fact | 19:20 |
| jackarg | rypervenche i guess I want to shrink it so that i can have available unallocated space | 19:20 |
| ActionParsnip | jackarg: if you want to resize a partition it cannot be mounted. You cannot unmount the system partition. The OS will not allow it | 19:20 |
| jackarg | reisio then I need a livecd? | 19:20 |
| rypervenche | jackarg: Then yes, you will need a live CD. If you were growing it, you would be able to do it on-the-fly. | 19:20 |

| jackarg | ActionParsnip rypervenche what distro do you suggest I do this with? | 19:21 |
| rypervenche | jackarg: You can do it with any distro. I would recommend using gparted to do the shrinking though if you're not comfortable with the command line. | 19:21 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, what ActionParsnip said, or I prefer 'chmod 0755' myself | 19:21 |
| ActionParsnip | jackarg: your Ubuntu install media can do it. Why would you need another distro? | 19:21 |
| reisio | jackarg: you shouldn't strictly need a livecd, but it'd probably be more straightforward with one | 19:22 |
| ActionParsnip | pfifo: its easier for new users :-) | 19:22 |

| rypervenche | ubuntu-gnome: Yes, there are a lot of results for this on Google. I am looking through them now. I don't use Ubuntu and its initramfs is a bit different from my OS's. | 19:29 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, cause it looks like the admin of the system does not allow you to create executable scripts and programs | 19:29 |

| A1Recon | i didnt think it wud cause any problem | 19:30 |
| Ari-Yang | just so you know | 19:30 |
| rypervenche | ubuntu-gnome: You should be fine. It is supposed to skip the key file. You don't want that in your initramfs. | 19:30 |
| ActionParsnip | A1recon: try: sudo chmod +x ./Hello_World | 19:30 |
| reisio | haze__: best to use the package manager as much as possible, and if you can't use something like checkinstall | 19:30 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: Since I am the admin, how do i allow myself to create programs | 19:30 |
| reisio | can't, _then_* | 19:31 |

| rypervenche | ubuntu-gnome: Nope, just the key. It's not very specific, I'll admit. | 19:31 |
| ubuntu-gnome | if it doesn't work I'll be back :P | 19:31 |
| jj123 | I can get rid of most of them by rearranging the order and moving the .o up, but cannot get rid of the gettid() error | 19:31 |

| pfifo | A1Recon, yes, thats what im getting at, the noexec option is preventing the execution of the program | 19:37 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: -rw------- 1 user user 7302 Jun 30 23:35 ./Hello_World | 19:37 |
| Vec_ | Quickie! Why is there a space free on the end of the permission "table" ? rwxrwxrwx- ? | 19:37 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, you should edit your /etc/fstab and remove the noexec option or if thats not acceptable, move your workspace to a place where you can execute programs | 19:38 |
| * Vec_ is ashamed, please ignore my previous question | 19:38 | |
| trism | jj123: is gettid defined in that v2lin lib? since I can't resolve it here, and the manpage says: Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call; call it using syscall(2). | 19:38 |
| jj123 | I think I just realized that when the make files builds it (the way that doesn't work) I'm setting -DDEBUG | 19:39 |
| jj123 | and that pulls in the gettid() | 19:39 |
| jj123 | when I do the oneliner gcc, I'm not setting that define | 19:39 |
| tella | i re install ubuntu 12.04 and deleted all my files, i had a back up but some file are missing is there a way to recover this files? | 19:39 |
| jj123 | if I add -DDEBUG to the oneliner, it fails the same way | 19:39 |

| freduard | hi? | 19:43 |
| fantasoup | hello, i am new here. just learning about irc | 19:43 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: BTW I never set any "noexec" option... so why is it showing a problem.... I have a Dual Boot system(Win7/Ubuntu) but I don't think it should cause any problem.. | 19:44 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, well then move your workspace to your home folder or such... or format a pendrive ext2 and keep all your stuff there | 19:44 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, or if you like it the hardway, edit the udev rules to mount your drives without noexec | 19:45 |
| wilee-nilee | tella, deleting and overwriting a partition makes it difficult especially the more you use it, there is testdisk, however it will if it works mess with what is there, you need to back up again then use it | 19:46 |
| tella | i not been using it since | 19:46 |
| tella | wilee-nilee | 19:46 |
| wilee-nilee | tella, you get the context though right? | 19:46 |
| tella | yes | 19:47 |
| tella | but testdisk what is it, i can see in gparted my old partiton with my file! | 19:47 |
| wilee-nilee | tella, Good, I'm not saying you will get anything but that is where we generally go. | 19:47 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: Why the hell did it show the "noexec" problem for me? Does it happen for everyone?? Did I mess up the Ubuntu installation?? | 19:48 |
| tella | is there a way to have that aprtiotion bas as used to? | 19:48 |
| wilee-nilee | tella`testdisk is on the web a live cd and an external is what you need. | 19:48 |
| trism | jj123: yeah I agree, it seems that v2lin was attempt to define gettid using an obsolete _syscall0 macro which is gone now | 19:48 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, are thoes New Volumes formatted NTFS or FAT? | 19:48 |
| jj123 | yeah that's what I think | 19:48 |
| trism | jj123: you could probably use the DEBUG portion by defining gettid using syscall(SYS_gettid) instead | 19:49 |
| wilee-nilee | tella, you can get it from the repos I believe as well, I have used it once for fun. | 19:49 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: HPFS/NTFS | 19:49 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, ahh, well thats why, NTFS is windoze tech, make all you linux programs using linux tech | 19:50 |
| jj123 | trism: as far as having to rearrange the order of the .o and -llibraries...is there any way around that? | 19:50 |

| wheatthin | just a question, but can I dd an img to a hdd? | 19:51 |

| ubuntu-gnome | rypervenche: something's still off :( | 19:51 |
| A1Recon | pfifo: so ideally it should be formatted in? | 19:51 |
| jj123 | trism: ok thanks, that explains why other people don't have that problem and why the v2lin Makefiles work for them | 19:51 |
| rypervenche | ubuntu-gnome: What's happening? | 19:52 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, ext2 or 3 or 4, reiserfs or btrfs | 19:52 |
| pfifo | A1Recon, i like ext2, there are windows drivers for ext2 and 3 | 19:52 |
| ubuntu-gnome | initramfs-update apparently uses the uuids of the encrypted partitions after they have been decrypted and mapped | 19:52 |
| wheatthin | if you want journaling, you won't want to use ext2 | 19:52 |
| A1Recon | wheatthin: journaling? | 19:53 |
| pfifo | wheatthin, my ext2 partitions have journals, i store them externally in my head :D | 19:53 |

| ubuntu-gnome | neither of those UUIDs corresponds to the UUID that causes errors | 19:57 |

They seemed to be getting along for like a month but yesterday, after playing armagetron, my display resolution was down to 800x600. I tried to put it back to 1028x768 but all I did was freeze my desktop. I tried to log out and rebooting but I just did not have a desktop. Finally FatalPriapism on this channel told... | 20:22 |

Problem is that I have to killall every time I log in and even worst than that; I cannot get a better resolution than 800x600, when I try it goes to 640x480. Can someone please help me get my desktop right again? TIA! | 20:22 |

| sliddjur | i have loads of csv-files with data. is there any good free software that can present data nicely? | 20:38 |
| pfifo | blake_, im going to be honest here, your best route is to get a blank cd, take it to a friends house, and burn an ubuntu livecd | 20:38 |
| falompias | niee: sorry, I didn't understand what you mean :) | 20:38 |
| blake_ | ubotto, so if i install GRUB2 alongside ubuntu desktop it shoudl work? | 20:38 |
| pfifo | blake_, ubottu is a bot | 20:39 |

| niee | falompias: whay don`t inposible to instal program or update. view pastebin pls http://pastebin.com/9txssMMc. | 20:40 |

| Loz | just said successfully installed, please restart and then disappeared | 20:41 |
| falompias | niee: sorry, I'm not sure either :( | 20:41 |
| falompias | niee: if I were to guess, your mirrors on the sources.list are not working, try substituting them for ubuntu supplied ones | 20:41 |
| pfifo | blake_, there are supposed to be tools to make a liveusb from windows, but to be honest, ive never heard of one actually working. | 20:41 |
| falompias | anyone using 13.04 with compiz+gnome-panel? | 20:42 |
| viyyer | my internet is broken . what is the default /etc/network/interface file | 20:42 |

| niee | ok falompias . give me more info pls. how to change whit "Software Sources" | 20:44 |
| Elvano | It can no longer reach webpages from the web, falompias. Local files it can read. Chromium, nor any other application, seems to have any problem | 20:44 |
| ubuntu-gnome | rypervenche? | 20:44 |
| k1l_ | Elvano: did you set some proxy settings? or set it to offline mode? | 20:45 |
| wilx | Hi. | 20:45 |
| A1Recon | What is the Keyboard shortcut to go back up a folder in Ubuntu. Like in Windows its the "Backspace" button! | 20:45 |
| tannji | When you install from USB thumb drive, the USB drive usually becomes "dev/sda" so the partition you need to format and set up becomes "/dev/sdb". after installation, when you remove the usb drive, youwill see the new installation as "/dev/sda". In affect, you mounted the usb as /dev/sda, and installed ubuntu to /dev/sda.... but need to install it to /dev/sdb | 20:45 |
| wilx | Ubuntu was opening a Firefox window after I have reported a bug. | 20:45 |
| wilx | It seems that it is not doing that anymore. | 20:45 |
| bekks | falompias: Which ubuntu do you have, which version? | 20:45 |
| wilx | How can I turn it on again? | 20:45 |
| falompias | niee: I generally do this by hand, i.e edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and replace mirror.telepoint.bg by a working mirror. That version _may_ be expired, so you probably need to use a different mirror | 20:46 |
| falompias | bekks: I have 13.04 | 20:46 |
| tannji | Loz, I could be totally off-base, but from what you said, and the mistakes I have made, could be the problem | 20:46 |
| niee | ok tnx falompias :) | 20:46 |
| trism | A1Recon: alt+up arrow | 20:46 |
| Elvano | I have done nothing at all, k1l_ . It just gave me this one day | 20:46 |
| bekks | falompias: Then why do you have sources for 11.04 enabled? | 20:47 |
| A1Recon | trism: Thanks!! | 20:47 |
| falompias | Elvano: have you set up a proxy by any chance? | 20:47 |
| pfifo | blake_, you can atleast try all of these methods to kill time until you find a friend with a blank cd and a cd burner... http://www.pendrivelinux.com/category/new-usb-linux-tutorials/ | 20:47 |
| falompias | bekks: you must be confusing me with niee... :) | 20:47 |
| Elvano | No, I haven't falompias | 20:47 |
| bekks | falompias: That may be true, yes :) | 20:47 |
| pfifo | blake_, you DO NOT have to make an ubuntu liveusb to get started, any flavor of linux will work | 20:48 |
| Loz | sounds about right - whats the best way of fixing that? im a little out of touch with partitions | 20:48 |
| falompias | my issue is that I cannot change workspace, eventhough I have 4 workspaces created | 20:48 |
| Jakey1 | how do I pastebin my comand line in command line? | 20:48 |
| falompias | i.e ctrl+alt+left does not work | 20:48 |
| bekks | !pastebinit | Jakey1 | 20:48 |
| ubottu | Jakey1: 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 | 20:48 |
| falompias | I use compiz+gnome panel (or gnome fallback, a shell that emulates gnome 2x experience) | 20:48 |
| falompias | but it's broken on 13.04 | 20:48 |
| falompias | at work I have 12.04 installed and seems to be working fine | 20:48 |
| falompias | so I might go back to 12.04 | 20:48 |
| blake_ | pfifo, that also has crossed my mind. what other flavors beside Ubuntu could i use. where could i find them. amd do you think i would have the same problem installing them? | 20:49 |
| tannji | Loz, I booted live cd, installed gparted, set up my partition, and chose the live install option. just pay attention to what partitions you see and use | 20:49 |
| k1l_ | falompias: there is no downgrade. that would need a reinstall | 20:49 |
| Jakey1 | bekks: so I have previous command writtent on my command line not in a txt file just on screen. How do I get it to pastebin | 20:49 |
| falompias | k1l_: I understand that, that is what I meant as well :) | 20:49 |
| bekks | Jakey1: By typing it again. | 20:49 |
| pfifo | blake_, I would try gparted guide first, its a decent livecd, I also notice a mint 9 guide, mint is an ubuntu flavor | 20:50 |
| Vec_ | Why do i get "permission denied" when my user is part of a group that has RWX permissions to a dir? | 20:50 |
| Elvano | I have been using it as my main browser for a long time already. It just stopped working all of a sudden, k1l_ falompias | 20:50 |
| falompias | Elvano: I can't think of anything other than a proxy, or.. dns issues | 20:50 |
| Jakey1 | bekks: how do you mean I have to copy it into a txt file to pastebinit? | 20:50 |
| falompias | but that would probably be ruled out with chromium | 20:50 |
| falompias | (I mean, the dns) | 20:50 |
| blake_ | pfifo, thanks ill look into gparted. | 20:51 |
| bekks | Jakey1: No. "mycommand | pastebinit" will pastebin the output of "mycommand". | 20:51 |
| k1l_ | Elvano: please take a look if you accidently started the offline modus or if you set some proxy settings | 20:51 |
| Vec_ | drwxrwx--- 4 root hagastien 4096 Jun 30 22:43 data ---> My user is part of group "hagastien", how come i get "Permission denied" when trying to cd to the dir? | 20:52 |
| falompias | offline would generally be pretty obvious too, coming to think of it | 20:52 |

| blake_ | pfifo, ahh its a partitioner i have been using easeUS partition master that seems to work quite well. ill try mint now also | 20:52 |
| pfifo | blake_, yes but your not intrested in the partition part... you just need a terminal | 20:53 |
| blake_ | pfifo, the friend that gave me the PC had mint maybe ill try that, see how it works | 20:53 |
| blake_ | pfifo, what do yo mean a "terminal" | 20:54 |
| Elvano | Well, I'll be... "Use system proxy settings' was enabled, but i swear, I've never turned it on, k1l_ , falompias | 20:54 |
| pfifo | blake_, if you have a mint livecd, or mint already installed, then I can get your flash drive up and running | 20:54 |

| === wojciech_ is now known as wojciech | ||
| pfifo | blake_, the advantage to the USB is that you can delete the iso file and replace it with a different iso, where with a cd, you have to burn another cd... other than that their the same | 21:01 |
| pfifo | blake_, or just put 20 isos on the USB and boot the flavor/version you want | 21:02 |
| blake_ | pfifo, ofcourse but what DL should i use? http://www.linuxmint.com/release.php?id=13 | 21:02 |

| ef5c_ef5c | Vec_, OK, so your ID may be added to the group in /etc/groups, but that assocation isn't in force for your current session. | 21:06 |
| pfifo | blake_, yes, its grub | 21:06 |
| blake_ | pfifo, and again sorry if im not making sense pretty new to all this PC talk | 21:06 |
| ef5c_ef5c | maybe logout/login will refresh | 21:06 |
| Vec_ | oh, i c, the "hagastien" group should have been listed after groups= ? | 21:07 |
| ef5c_ef5c | Yep | 21:07 |
| ryeth | do u think i would have problems if i have vmware and virtualbox on my laptop? don't want the 2 to conflict with one another | 21:07 |
| ryeth | and thank you for your answer, DYSW | 21:07 |
| Vec_ | Thanks ef5c_ef5c! Ill try to relog right now | 21:07 |
| daftykins | ryeth: i don't think you'd be able to run both at once... if they'd make use of AMD-V/Intel VT hardware support | 21:08 |
| daftykins | ryeth: their networking components would seriously mess things up | 21:08 |
| jasunto | is there a quick GUI way to move home in 13.04? | 21:08 |
| Vec_ | ef5c_ef5c: A relog fixed it, thanks :) | 21:09 |
| ryeth | hmmm...i will uninstall vmware and try out virtualbox....i'm in school for computer networking systems and we use VMware Player | 21:09 |
| jasunto | or should i say, is there a quick GUI way to move /home in 13.04? | 21:09 |
| funky | :) | 21:09 |
| ryeth | but i seem to have a lot of issues with it | 21:09 |
| ef5c_ef5c | Vec_, yw; glad it worked! | 21:10 |

| jasunto | pfifo, i have a velociraptor spinner driv ei want data on and save ssd for apps and such | 21:11 |
| jasunto | pfifo, apps and OS on SSD sinc eits small and /home on larger non ssd data drive | 21:11 |
| pfifo | jasunto, so you want to move your data to your raptor and mount it to /home | 21:11 |
| === m__ is now known as plm | ||
| jasunto | pfifo , yeha without getting all fstab crazy, used ot be able to do from users and groups | 21:12 |
| === plm is now known as plm33 | ||
| jasunto | pfifo, move /home to bigger non ssd drive | 21:12 |
| jasunto | pfifo, nothing on /home at the moment so should be quick, nothign to copy | 21:13 |
| pfifo | jasunto, nothing to copy? then just add the line in fstab | 21:14 |
| jasunto | pfifo, i hate jacking with that file, is there a simple copy/paste way to do it? | 21:14 |
| jasunto | maybe format the drive in gparted and set mount point to /home? | 21:15 |
| pfifo | jasunto, maybe, for me editing fstab is easier, pastebin 'cat /etc/fstab && sudo blkid' and ill give you the line | 21:16 |

| nimbiotics | I'm using ubuntu studio 13.04 with xfce + compiz + nvidia drivers. They seemed to be getting along for like a month but yesterday, after playing armagetron, my display resolution was down to 800x600. I tried to put it back to 1028x768 but all I did was freeze my desktop. I tried to log out and rebooting but I just did not have a desktop. Finally FatalPriapism on this channel told me to... | 21:19 |
| nimbiotics | ..."killall -9 compiz" and at least I got my desktop again. Problem is that I have to killall every time I log in and even worst than that; I cannot get a better resolution than 800x600, when I try it goes to 640x480. Please help me get my desktop right again? TIA! | 21:19 |
| OerHeks | nimbiotics, you have the clue yourself; why not remove compiz instead of killing it | 21:20 |
| jasunto | pfifo, sent PM | 21:21 |
| nimbiotics | OerHeks: That is what I've got in mind on doing. The reason I post this here is because someone might have had a similar experience and probably was able to fix it without removing compiz, which I love ... not that I cant live w/o it though... Thanks for your advise! | 21:24 |

| wheatthin | I hope I get banned soon. | 21:25 |
| HisaoNakai | bonhoeffer - what explorer? O_o | 21:26 |
| OerHeks | niee, 11.04 is EOL end of life, upgrade to a supported version 12.04 lts or 13.04 | 21:26 |
| bonhoeffer | sorry -- i used to be able to type open foo.pdf or open . and get the relevant application to open from the command line, by explorer i meant the default file manager | 21:26 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty Narwhal) was the fourteenth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on October 28, 2012. See !upgrade, !lts and !eol for more details. | 21:26 |
| HisaoNakai | bonhoeffer - Oh, sorry. No idea. Perhaps someone else here knows. :S | 21:27 |
| niee | OerHeks: need to reinstall ths OS. evry docoments or program im lost or ? | 21:28 |
| brontosaurusrex | bonhoeffer, thunar . (or make an alias to your specific file-manager) | 21:29 |

| brontosaurusrex | bonhoeffer, like "alias open='thunar'" | 21:30 |

| bonhoeffer | http://askubuntu.com/questions/43264/how-to-open-a-pdf-file-from-terminal | 21:30 |
| bonhoeffer | some good ideas there too | 21:30 |
| OerHeks | niee a fresh install deletes your data and programs, backup your data | 21:31 |
| brontosaurusrex | bonhoeffer, you a mac user? | 21:31 |
| bonhoeffer | sometimes . . . | 21:32 |
| niee | ok ubottu. undrestand, but need to write new disk whit Ubuntu 13.04 and preinstall OS or ...inposible to update this version 11.04 to 13.04. | 21:32 |
| bonhoeffer | i kinda forget which os i'm on these days | 21:32 |
| xangua | niee: not imposible...but it will take soooome time | 21:32 |
| OerHeks | 11.04 > 11.10 > 12.04 lts > 12.10 > 13.04 | 21:33 |
| niee | wow :D undrestand understand. tnx... | 21:33 |
| brontosaurusrex | bonhoeffer, interestingly my open alias will also work with "open some.jpg" | 21:33 |
| brontosaurusrex | so, solved even better than i thought ;) | 21:34 |

| Danato | so I usually install windows first and the linux | 21:59 |
| Danato | *then | 21:59 |
| daftykins | ^ yeah windows first is always the easy approach | 21:59 |
| k1l_ | Tapper: does it boot straight to windows? | 21:59 |
| daftykins | Tapper: you can try boot repair though | 21:59 |
| k1l_ | Tapper: in that case you need to reinstall the grub2 | 21:59 |
| Tapper | daftykins, k1l_ it only boots windows now! I need to have dual boot option =( | 21:59 |
| daftykins | Tapper: yeah boot repair then. | 21:59 |
| Tapper | daftykins, im really newb what does that mean? | 22:00 |

| micha_ | Hi. Since last update Firefox is using again the global appmenu. I already removed all appmenu* packages and disabled all ubuntu specific plugins. Anyone got an idea how I can get rid of that again? (or as workaround, a way to use right-click with global menu so plugins needing that work again...) | 22:03 |

| micha_ | yeah | 22:04 |

| RalieghFhang | Weird... So I just updated from Quantal to raring, seeing's how it's a newer release. However the support date is January for Raring whilst Quantal's is July. Why is this? | 22:10 |
| RalieghFhang | My guess is Raring is some sort of testing like they do for Deb, but that's just a guess. | 22:11 |

| RalieghFhang | Ahhh, okay. That's an interesting change. | 22:13 |

| Seegee | Here is the question, http://serverfault.com/questions/519759/iptables-forward-from-only-one-ip-on-my-server | 22:13 |
| Vec_ | MonkeyDust: I guess i need to partition the disk first? | 22:14 |
| Vec_ | doing sudo mkfs -t ext4 /dev/sdb 512 didnt work | 22:14 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec_ yes, if you use terminal, there's fdisk to do it | 22:14 |
| Vec_ | Ok, ill google fdisk and have a looksee | 22:15 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec_ it's because sdb is the HDD; sdb1, sdb2 etc are the partitions | 22:15 |
| === root________ is now known as aarcane | ||
| Vec_ | Ah, ok. sdb currently have no partitions obviously | 22:16 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec_ begin with sudo fdisk -l to get an idea | 22:16 |
| pfak | Is it safe to edit jobs that are defined in /etc/init by a package? Will they be overwritten if I update a package? | 22:16 |
| jrib | pfak: you will be prompted. Consider using override files (see upstart cookbook) | 22:19 |
| jrib | s/will/should be | 22:20 |
| pfak | jrib: but that would overwrite the whole upstart job, yes? | 22:20 |
| jrib | pfak: see cookbook, I don't remember details | 22:21 |
| pfak | i already looked, it's vague | 22:21 |
| Vec_ | MonkeyDust: Shouldnt fdisk /dev/sdb work? | 22:21 |
| Vec_ | i get "no medium found" | 22:22 |
| jrib | pfak: i know you can, for example, place "manual" in .override and job is not lost, just the job will only be started manually (not automatically at boot) | 22:22 |
| trism | pfak: you can override stanzas individually | 22:22 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec_ what's the output of sudo blkid ? use pastebin to show it to the channel | 22:22 |
| pfak | is there a way to APPEND to a stanza? it's not obvious. basically i want to run a command before a particular job is run but ONLYwhen the job is started. | 22:22 |
| Vec_ | MonkeyDust: http://pastebin.com/5T5yie0x | 22:23 |
| trism | pfak: you can probably add a pre-start script stanza, hmm | 22:23 |
| pfak | if the script already has a pre-start script | 22:23 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec_ you're using LVM, I see no /dev/sdb | 22:23 |
| pfak | s/script/job/ then i would need to copy the existing pre-start script? | 22:23 |
| pfak | to my override | 22:23 |
| Vec_ | MonkeyDust: So i guess i should google LVM ? | 22:24 |
| jrib | pfak: that's how I read it. | 22:24 |
| MonkeyDust | !lvm | Vec_ read this, first | 22:24 |
| ubottu | Vec_ read this, first: Tips and tricks for RAID and LVM can be found on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID and http://www.tldp.org/HOWTO/LVM-HOWTO - For software RAID, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FakeRaidHowto | 22:24 |

| MonkeyDust | Vec_ I'm off, mention LVM in your future questions, good luck | 22:26 |
| Vec_ | Will do, thanks | 22:27 |
| pfak | jrib: thanks, i'll give it a try | 22:28 |
| jrib | pfak: you can also check #upstart as an additional resource | 22:28 |

| greg__ | I successfully installed Linux Mint 15 "Olivia" but it was too much for my old pc, so I installed Lubuntu. I can get it to work, but it's a bit of a hassle at startup. I'm trying to make a boot stick for the Xfce release of Mint, but I don't understand how to do it. I've tried to use unetbootin and pendrive Linux and at one point got a test version of Mint up and running but it continually fails to install. How can I move forward? | 22:29 |
| micha_ | not finding anything. Although there was something about thunderbird-globalmenu. But removing that didn't fix Firefox. Any other ideas? | 22:30 |
| jrib | !mint | greg__ | 22:30 |
| ubottu | greg__: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 22:30 |
| greg__ | I guess I mean how do I make a boot stick in Lubuntu... | 22:30 |
| jrib | greg__: alternatively, we can try to help you here with your Lubuntu issues. What do you mean when you say it is a bit of a hassle? | 22:30 |
| greg__ | When I start up I get a long list of errors and "killed" lines. Eventually it stops with Inframs or something and I can finally input command exit so that I get another long list of errors and killed stuff before it finally boots to destop | 22:32 |
| jrib | greg__: did this happen on the install cd?\ | 22:32 |
| greg__ | and at this point I'm only partially convinced that exit command is what does it | 22:32 |
| greg__ | boot stick | 22:32 |
| k1l_ | greg__: we dont know what mint does to its .isos. so better ask them what treatment they prefer to create a live stick | 22:33 |
| micha_ | it did update firefox and configured firefox-gnome-support today. But I guess removing gnome-support is probably a bad idea? | 22:33 |
| greg__ | I've also tried with other distros, (moon comes to mind) | 22:33 |
| greg__ | regardless of the os I'm making the stick for I need to know how to make a stick in Lubuntu | 22:34 |
| k1l_ | greg__: ubuntu got hybrid images, you can easily dd the iso to that stick | 22:34 |
| Vec_ | How do i create a partition on a freshly inserted disk using terminal only? I have LVM installed if that matters (newbie here) | 22:35 |
| greg__ | for instance after I dl unetbootin how do I use it? it doesn't seem to be an executable file.... | 22:35 |
| sam113101 | Vec_: cfdisk | 22:36 |
| brontosaurusrex | greg__, use dd | 22:36 |

| greg__ | dd? | 22:36 |

| Peyam | what is the issue | 23:01 |
| ss_haze | lickalott, I use pavucontrol for pulse | 23:01 |
| BluesKaj | lickalott , what kind of surround sound ? | 23:01 |
| Ic3Kitten | Can someone please direct me to the latest flash player plug in<adobe> | 23:02 |
| lickalott | as in how man channels? | 23:02 |
| lickalott | *many | 23:02 |
| ss_haze | lc3kitten, on which version of ubuntu? | 23:02 |
| Ic3Kitten | 13.04 | 23:02 |
| ss_haze | copy libplayer.so or something like that to /home/username/.firefox | 23:02 |
| lickalott | I'm helping a buddy Peyam, so I'm in the beginning stages of troubleshooting but my google-fu is weak today | 23:02 |
| ss_haze | right directory | 23:02 |
| xangua | Ic3Kitten: sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer | 23:02 |
| ss_haze | you can download it from adobe page | 23:03 |
| BluesKaj | lickalott, analog out to pc speaker system or spdif digital out to an audio amp/receiver ? | 23:03 |
| Ic3Kitten | Mucho gracious | 23:03 |
| Peyam | lickalott: okej | 23:03 |
| lickalott | ahhh... lemme find out | 23:03 |
| ss_haze | I usually install restricted extras where flash player comes in with them | 23:03 |
| Jordan_U | Ic3Kitten: Last time I checked, to get the latest flash you need to use Google Chrome (or Chromium with Chrome's flash plugin). | 23:03 |
| lickalott | I'm gonna go with analog BluesKaj, just because this is his first ubuntu install. I don't think he'd go balls to the wall, day 1 | 23:04 |
| Sazpaimon | how can I get the netinstall iso to boot on efi? | 23:04 |
| ss_haze | last time I checked firefox is better :> | 23:04 |
| daftykins | Ic3Kitten: you install it via the package and it pulls in the latest automatically now | 23:04 |
| ss_haze | ok, forget about it | 23:04 |
| Ic3Kitten | Im not so good with AUTO~ that feature seems to hate me lol | 23:04 |
| Zenal | Anybody there?? | 23:05 |
| Peyam | Zenal: what is the issue!? | 23:05 |
| k1l_ | Zenal: as you can see, yes | 23:05 |
| BluesKaj | lickalott, ok what is the issue just complete lack of audio or is it just 2 speakers working or ? | 23:05 |
| ss_haze | terminal atleast gives a s*** about you, and gives all kinds of errors, gui just crashes lol | 23:05 |
| Ic3Kitten | Flash playing is downloadingin terminal thank you... | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | Sazpaimon: Does the netinstall iso have an efi directory in it? | 23:05 |
| k1l_ | ss_haze: do you have an actual specific support issue? please dont use this channel for ranting | 23:06 |
| ss_haze | sorry again, it's 2 in night, and I am answering to some question about flash | 23:06 |
| lickalott | wait 1 bro. lemme collect some details so I don't send you down the wrong path. | 23:07 |
| Zenal | Hellowwww | 23:07 |
| Peyam | Zenal: what is the issue? | 23:07 |
| k1l_ | !ask | Zenal | 23:07 |
| ubottu | Zenal: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:07 |

| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||
| Ic3Kitten | Thanks for the command~ Adobe Flash player plug in is installed with Mozillia Firefox~ | 23:10 |
| Jordan_U | Sazpaimon: If not, then install grub-efi and use grub-mkrescue to create an [U]EFI Bbootable iso. | 23:10 |
| Peyam | Ic3Kitten: you could use software center to install flash player | 23:10 |
| Ic3Kitten | I like commands lol they are fast and I can see that their progress follows through... any chance you have a skype direct download? | 23:11 |
| Peyam | Ic3Kitten: skype? yes. google! | 23:11 |
| Ic3Kitten | I tried | 23:11 |
| Ic3Kitten | Process terminates somewhere in between | 23:12 |
| lickalott | Peyam, BluesKaj, here's his config - xonar stx card and two 580's in sli which have their own hdmi out | 23:12 |
| Ic3Kitten | Im working with 1 gb ram, not so good for these conditions | 23:12 |
| lickalott | he's got sound but not Surround Sound | 23:12 |
| Peyam | you download the .dep file and you install it in software center. otherwise you add the ppa and running through terminal. I recommend the first option | 23:12 |
| sindri | Ic3Kitten: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Skype | 23:12 |
| pfifo | xchat came by default with this network named "Ubuntu Server" how exactly do I deal with the space when using SA SL I tried to escape it with a \ but it didnt take, right now I have renamed the network to 'freenode' which is alright | 23:13 |
| === zephyr is now known as Duolos | ||
| Sazpaimon | Jordan_U, no, it doesn't | 23:14 |
| Sazpaimon | i tried to copy the EFI folder from the desktop iso to a usb stick with the rest of the mini.iso files, and that did not work | 23:15 |
| Sazpaimon | I thought that would work because a strings command on grubx64.efi contains: http://pastebin.com/sUgMiqbF | 23:16 |
| lickalott | Peyam, BluesKaj, what else can I give you? | 23:16 |
| Peyam | lickalott: tell me the actuall problem | 23:17 |
| lickalott | he gets sound but not surround sound, so only 2 out of the 5 speakers are working | 23:17 |
| BluesKaj | lickalott, the output of , sudo aplay -l , in pastebin pls. | 23:17 |

| Vec_ | Hey guys, how do i mount a LVM2 logical volume to a directory? | 23:19 |
| lickalott | BluesKaj - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5815341/ | 23:20 |
| === jd is now known as Guest55296 | ||
| BluesKaj | lickalott, the driver is loaded fine , but i think he should check alsamixer to make sure the surround output ctrls are all unmuted and turned up to least 85%. | 23:24 |
| === gringoloco is now known as him | ||
| === him is now known as wey | ||
| lickalott | BluesKaj - the surround outputs dont show up. only the stereo ones show up | 23:29 |
| lickalott | he has a pair of headphones coming out of the analog port and a digital connection out to a receiver | 23:29 |
| Vec_ | I have a volumegroup called data-vg. I have a logical volume called data. I try to mount this logical volume to a dir. I do "sudo mount /dev/data-vg/data /mnt/data" but it says "mount: you must specify the filesystem type". -- Please advise :) | 23:30 |
| lickalott | whats the filesystem? ntfs, fat, ext2, etc...? | 23:31 |
| Vec_ | Who knows, Linux LVM, LVM2 or LVM2_Member or something to that effect | 23:31 |
| === zim is now known as Guest90728 | ||
| nyRednek | btw, those of you who have realtek 8188ce wifi, the kernel update breaks wifi | 23:32 |
| Vec_ | At this point i really wish i hadn't installed LVM as it complicates things so much for a newbie like me :/ | 23:32 |
| nyRednek | you'll want to have the realtek driver and build-essential in place before running dist-upgrade | 23:32 |
| lickalott | BluesKaj - this is his lspci - http://paste.ubuntu.com/5815353/ | 23:32 |
| === wey is now known as ese | ||
| wilee-nilee | nyRednek, no really, 3rd parties using their drivers or not ubuntu's what did you expect. | 23:33 |
| lickalott | Vec_ try a -d after mount | 23:33 |
| Seegee | Guys! Does anyone here know about iptables! | 23:33 |
| Ari-Yang | nyRednek, I've used the wifi proprietary driver (broadcam) while I ran dist-upgrade.... | 23:33 |
| Ari-Yang | had no problems at all | 23:33 |
| lickalott | i know OF them...lol | 23:34 |
| lickalott | whats the issue Seegee | 23:34 |
| Seegee | lickalott: http://serverfault.com/questions/519759/iptables-forward-from-only-one-ip-on-my-server | 23:34 |
| Vec_ | lickalott: "invalid option" | 23:34 |
| BluesKaj | lickalott, if he wants the digital/spdif toi the receiver then it's relatively simple .let the receiver do all the 5.1 decoding ..pc speakerms.speaker systems and surround on liinux is iffy | 23:34 |
| nyRednek | wilee-nilee, was using ubuntu's before the upgrade | 23:34 |
| reisio | Seegee: #netfilter | 23:34 |
| Seegee | reisio, they were not helpful xD | 23:35 |
| Seegee | They ignored me | 23:35 |
| reisio | Seegee: you probably did it wrong, then :) | 23:35 |
| lickalott | Seegee throw a netstat -rn in pastebin | 23:35 |
| wilee-nilee | nyRednek, Obviously, realtec is where the blame is ubuntu has to reverse engineer tons of drivers open source is not provided for in many situations. | 23:35 |
| Seegee | lickalott: http://pastebin.com/c1ytYC23 | 23:36 |
| nyRednek | wilee-nilee, wasn't blaming ubuntu here, just saying | 23:36 |
| nyRednek | wilee-nilee, seriously, was just stating that having the proprietary driver downloaded and the means to build it in place before running dist-upgrade is a really good idea | 23:37 |
| Vec_ | Oh god, ok. I didnt have any filesystem on the logical volume... mkfs.ext4 solved it. | 23:38 |
| Vec_ | Learning linux is so brutal sometimes :p | 23:39 |
| reisio | yeah | 23:39 |
| * lickalott bows out Seems like your command should work Seegee | 23:39 | |
| reisio | when I figured out I had to run mkfs.ext4, it made me bleed it was so brutal | 23:39 |
| Seegee | I know! its really annoying... | 23:39 |
| Vec_ | lol | 23:39 |
| Seegee | It works FINE without the -d | 23:39 |

| reisio | RalieghFhang: which version? | 23:45 |
| Vec_ | Is it possible to unmount a device from ONE spesific location? | 23:45 |
| RalieghFhang | reisio: libaacpluis-2.0.2 | 23:45 |
| reisio | Vec_: as opposed to... vague locations? | 23:45 |
| cristobal | thanks pfifo will try | 23:45 |
| pfifo | Jordan_U, why are you putting unprintable characters in you7r text? | 23:45 |
| reisio | RalieghFhang: https://www.google.com/search?q=%22libaacplus-2.0.2.deb%22 | 23:46 |
| RalieghFhang | reisio: That was the version I installed via source. The repo offers a version that isn't even 1.x IIRC. And you're misunderstanding me, I've already installed the source and the library detects and works well. | 23:46 |
| RalieghFhang | Just wondering if there's any way to get dpkg to pick it up. If not, it's no big deal, would just be nice. | 23:46 |
| reisio | RalieghFhang: doesn't mean you can't still install it properly from a deb :) | 23:46 |
| reisio | RalieghFhang: what do you use libaacplus for? | 23:46 |
| Vec_ | reisio: I mounted the root partition in /mnt/root just to try it, and apprantly its mounted elsewhere too. "umount: it seems /dev/mapper/server--vg-root is mounted multiple times" -- it wont let me unmount it, and i certanly dont want to unmount it from wherever else its mounted | 23:47 |
| RalieghFhang | I installed it from the base repositories first, it was way way outdated. Didn't feel like adding debian sources, chances of breaking stuff. | 23:47 |

| reisio | RalieghFhang: http://sourceforge.net/projects/opencore-amr/ | 23:50 |
| RalieghFhang | I'll certainly look into it. I just like LS because it's basically an AIO, transcoding audio/video, output, bitrate changes, etc. Good stuff. Anyhow I'll quietly lurk the channel now. ^^ | 23:50 |
| reisio | RalieghFhang: yeah and I'll have to look into libaacplus :p | 23:51 |
| reisio | was just using faac before fdk | 23:51 |
| Vec_ | ef5c_ef5c: Sure, but i dont know how to unmount from one spesific location >..< | 23:51 |

| ef5c_ef5c | Vec_, you could just as well have created the filesystem on the raw disk, or on a partion of the raw disk. But using LVM may come in handy if you need to resize or move to a new disk in the future | 23:56 |
