[00:04] how do i use/ launch unity-calander-lens ? I installed it , and restarted and i have tried calendar, unity-calendar-lens and command not found, can someone assist [00:05] am i missing soething that i don't know about [00:07] hey all, I hope someone can help as I'm fairly new to ubuntu (though not to linux) and am having some odd issues with this machine [00:08] so I'm running ubuntu and gnome on a dedicated server [00:08] been running for about a year without ever crashing, so it's been fairly stable [00:08] but...? [00:08] but now he has to update it :p [00:08] but the last few days, it's been acting weird... first the task bar disappeared on me, than apps started crashing right and left [00:08] 's'cause you updated it :p [00:09] well that's the thing, I can't even update as the update manager is one of the things that keeps crashing :-o [00:09] if you truly didn't alter the software, then it's a hardware issue [00:09] ijwyn: what recent changes have you made? (if any) [00:09] I take it this means it's a known issue? [00:09] but that's unlikely [00:09] i doubt it's a hardware issue as it's an OVH account, I don't have any control over that in any case [00:10] ijwyn: run memtest [00:10] and I haven't done any specific changes, aside from going with the updates up until the app started crashing [00:10] I also doubt it [00:10] oh OVH [00:10] you probably updated something :p [00:10] ijwyn: it could be a ram issue. are you able to take the server offline for a while? [00:10] yeah, I'm starting to think I might have updated something I shouldn't have === Aww is now known as NotAww [00:10] :p [00:11] go through your log, revert the most recent updates [00:11] digital: I haven't tried it, but I did do a reboot, hoping it would fix the issue, and while it did fix the task bar all the apps still keep crashing, so the problem is still there [00:11] daftykins: hmm, i don't seem to have memtest installed [00:13] ijwyn: it's a boot CD thing as opposed to an application, but since you say it's not really a physical PC it's not a relevant idea [00:13] ijwyn: if you can cope with the server being down for a little while, run Memtest86 on it. If that crashes you have a hardware fault somewhere. If it reports a ram issue you've found the problem and if it says the ram is ok and doesn't crash, you know it's a software issue. [00:13] daftykins: oh ok [00:13] ijwyn: can you run CLI update commands? [00:14] yeah, I'm connected to the server two ways, one is through a graphical interface (nxclient) where stuff keeps crashing, the other is a shell connection which seems more stable [00:14] digital: yeah, I could probably do that as I'm not actively using the server yet, it's still in experimental stages, heh [00:14] hmmm, you might have upset gnome somehow. [00:15] ijwyn: i just think it will give you the most conclusive results. [00:15] it's quite possible, as I'm noticing KDE apps seem stable (Krusader, for instance, hasn't crashed once) whereas stuff like the update manager, firefox or other gnome-specific apps (even settings stuff) crash instantly, or almost instantly [00:16] Has anyone here installed CUDA in ubuntu? [00:16] brand new to ubuntu, just got it on a chromebook, having a hard time running Tor, getting a Vidalia error - I'm a real beginner [00:17] digital: I'll give it a shot... could you tell me how to run that Memtest86 thing though, if the server is down? [00:19] ijwyn: Have a look here - http://www.memtest86.com/download.htm - I always use the linux/usb option. just boot it up and the test is pretty straightforward. [00:20] Hi [00:20] I need help === ubuntu is now known as Guest82489 [00:20] not sure how this works [00:20] eh, problem is usb would require physical access to the server, which i don't have... heck, come to think of it, i'm not even sure I could run this because though I can shut down the server, it's considered as a problem by OVH and they manually reset it, typically within a few minutes, hmm [00:21] aaah, they'd probably have to run memtest64 then [00:22] ubuntu, stat your problem to the channel for help. [00:22] i have no idea [00:23] state* [00:23] I've installed Ubuntu 13.04, from Windows 7 using a USB - I had use Pen Drive Linux's USB Installer. I try and install it. & all I get is failling [00:23] btw, if it helps, I get a lot of core dumps everytime I try to start something from a terminal [00:24] Guest82489, Have you resized W7 from its disk management and left an unallocated space? Do you know the limitation in amount and types of partitions on a single HD? [00:24] Hello! [00:24] Just for clarity's sake, if I put a bash script in /etc/init.d, that gets run on boot, right? [00:24] Guest82489, If you are trying a wubi install, it is not supported anymore. [00:25] wilee-nilee: No I didn't touch any of that [00:26] I'm running a it live, could I re-download it and burn it again, also how much space do I need on the USb [00:26] Guest82489, You want to resize windows with its partitioner and reboot so it runs the auto chkdsk, then install ubuntu in the unallocated space being aware of the limitations in types and amount of partitions. [00:26] I've lost windows [00:27] Guest82489, So what is your final goal here? [00:27] I don't know wilee [00:27] digital: so let's assume it's a software issue (which I'm guessing is the most likely scenario) how would I go about fixing it, or figuring out what exactly is causing this in the first place? [00:28] If I re-download it burn it to a USB would that work [00:28] Guest82489, You can tab complete nicks so we are informed your talking to us if so. Figure out what you want and we can help. Is windows actually gone or just not booting? [00:29] ijwyn: have a look through your log files as soon as something weird happens. Hopefully there will be a clue in there. [00:29] Complete gone [00:29] Guest82489, It would be nice to see what is on the HD can you on the live cd take a screenshot of gparted and imagbin it. [00:30] digital: wow, I can't even do that... gedit crashes, and so does... vi, of all things!!! what the heck... [00:30] question, can you effectivley run ubuntu from a usb stick? [00:31] Oh right okay [00:31] or is it brutally slow [00:31] it just says "segmentation fault" in the terminal [00:31] this is seriously messed up [00:31] i got endless stream of this SSL error in /var/log/syslog, anyone know what to check? "SSL error might have been: error:140940E5:SSL routines:SSL3_READ_BYTES:ssl handshake failure" [00:31] maybe i gotta upgrade some package or something? [00:31] philwong, You can do a full install or a iso loaded with a persistent file, the persistent fills up though. [00:31] hmm, why is there no pygobject package in ubuntu 13.04? The site says there is a metpackage with this name, while apt can't see it [00:31] philwong: it's fine but why would you want to [00:32] well.. [00:32] ironhalik: ask apt-file [00:32] ijwyn: sounds like something nasty [00:32] ijwyn: re-install? [00:32] I just dont want my main OS effected [00:32] I only use 1 HD [00:32] ironhalik, are you looking for python-gobject ? [00:32] I'm tempted to do that, but I fear I may lose a lot of data in the process, grrr [00:32] ijwyn: try using nano from the terminal. [00:33] !who | Guest82489 if you do not use nicks we may miss your post. [00:33] Guest82489 if you do not use nicks we may miss your post.: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [00:33] digital: nice one! that one seems to work [00:33] !tab [00:33] You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [00:33] how can I mount an image without using sudo? I installed fuseiso but it is not recognized in the cluster with which I am working while it is recognized in my local machine. I am not authorized to use sudo for mount in the cluster and I was looking for a mount image which can work in user space [00:33] [00:33] if I install ubuntu on a windows hardrive side by side under a different partition, will windows get slower? [00:33] tgm4883: well, I'm looking for https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pygobject [00:34] Guest82489, type the first couple letters of who you are posting to then hit the tab to complete them. [00:34] philwong, no [00:34] *bangs head against wall* [00:34] ijwyn: it's a simple yet powerful editor and if that doesn't run it's probably reinstall time. [00:34] now the terminal crashed and now nano segfaults too *rolls eyes* [00:34] ok\ [00:34] ironhalik, so then yes? [00:35] What you mean? [00:35] Guest82489: change your change your nick name /nick somenick [00:35] ok, so reinstall time I guess, bah [00:35] ironhalik, do you want the source package or the binary package? [00:35] ijwyn: wait what === Guest82489 is now known as rlw980 [00:35] ijwyn: use a live cd to do a backup [00:35] there [00:35] rlw980: cool [00:35] tgm4883: yeah, but I don't have it under apt-get [00:35] ijwyn: is that with no gui involved? [00:35] also, if after I want to delete the ubuntu partition, will that section of partition automatically become part of windows again? [00:35] ijwyn: can you think of anything that might have caused this to happen? [00:35] graingert: can't, it's a remote server [00:35] or do I have to manually set that partition again [00:35] rlw980: now type grai[tab key] [00:35] tgm4883: thats what confuses me :> [00:36] ijwyn: also, why on *earth* are you running a GUI on a server? [00:36] digital: tried both, segfaults in both cases, with and without the gui [00:36] graingert, [00:36] ironhalik, well without any insight into what you WANT to do, I can't point you in a direction [00:36] rlw980: congrat [00:36] Guest82489, If I am speaking to you I type enough of your nick "Guest82489" to get the taping of the tab key to complete your whole nick this adds a comma and highlights to you that someone is addressing you. [00:36] wilee-nilee: they are called rlw980 [00:36] am trying to install thunderbird please how do i do it, i have the tar.bz2 file on my desktop please advise, its older version as i dont want the latest from the repository [00:36] gordonjcp: I have no idea what caused it, except for me doing regular updates, I guess I updated something I shouldn't have, heh [00:37] and I run a GUI because it's more practical and nxclient is there for that [00:37] tking: why do you want an old version? [00:37] tking: why do you want to compile from source? [00:37] ijwyn: stuff segfaulting randomly shouldn't really happen and tends to either indicate dying hardware or some sort of intrusion [00:37] ijwyn: each to their own, but I don't see how it would be more practical [00:37] rlw980: please keep it to the channel [00:37] ironhalik, so let me ask, why do you want to install pygobject [00:38] tgm4883: I want to install this package :> [00:38] How big does the USB has to be to make it bootable [00:38] griangert, i dont need to compile it i guess, its because i want to grab emails with a plugin not compatible with the latest [00:38] I guess I could take it up with technical support, but I'm somewhat doubtful they'll be any use here... [00:38] apt-cache show pygobject [00:38] N: Unable to locate package pygobject [00:38] ijwyn: hmmm, that's not good. I can't think of anything you can try is the system is unstable. Can you get someone to test the hardware? [00:38] ironhalik, so you just picked a random package name and thought "I think i'll try and install this"? [00:38] tking: why not install add-on compatibliy checker? [00:38] I think I made a mistake... [00:38] graingert, how do i do that, never heard of it [00:38] ironhalik: so, install it then [00:39] gordonjcp: N: Unable to locate package pygobject [00:39] digital: yeah, I guess technical support could *at least* do that... hmm, come to think of it I might be able to do it myself through the OVH web interface, I'm gonna have to check that [00:39] ironhalik, correct, that package doesn't exist [00:39] ironhalik: well, that's not the name of the package [00:39] tking: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/ [00:39] So, I installed cinnamon and was making changes and after an Alt+F2, r, enter, neither Cinnamon or Unity will load now. [00:40] who here used storm on demand? [00:40] tgm4883: gordonjcp yet I can download it as a deb from launchpad :> [00:40] It loads when I log in as Guest but that's it. [00:40] ironhalik, where? [00:40] so how do i use it to install what i want? [00:40] tking: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/checkcompatibility/?src=search [00:41] tgm4883: sorry, tar.gz [00:41] ironhalik, exactly [00:41] tking: install that then install your add-on [00:41] ijwyn: if you can get nano to behave for long enough, you could see if there is anything interesting in the syslog. If this was my server though, I'd be looking for hardware faults at this stage. [00:41] don't compile stuff from source it will break your debian when you run `sudo make install` [00:41] ironhalik, so as i asked before, why are you trying to install pyobject? You are obviously trying to install it because you need it for something else, so what else needs it? [00:42] digital: yeah, it does sound weird, I'll try another reboot it seems to be a bit more stable after it just starts up, so perhaps it'll give me enough time to look at those logs [00:42] ironhalik, unless you are actually trying to develop on pygobject, in which case, I can help you get the pygobject source [00:42] ijwyn: anything in dmesg/syslog? [00:43] tgm4883: Im fiddling with gtk development, just my first look [00:43] ijwyn: if it's a VPS, you must consider the possibility that the host machine is sick ;-) [00:43] ironhalik, in python? [00:43] tgm4883: from what I googled, pygobject is a metapackage that contains all packages needed for python gtk dev [00:43] tgm4883: yeah [00:43] ironhalik, python 2 or python 3? [00:43] 3 [00:43] ironhalik, no, pygobject is not a metapackage [00:43] ironhalik, sec [00:43] gordonjcp: haven't been able to read it yet, as all my text editors are segfaulting :-o trying to reboot and see if one will hold up long enough for me to read through that stuff [00:44] ironhalik, you likely want python3-gi [00:44] graingert, The email address crawler 3 could not be installed with thunderbird 17.07 [00:44] tking: did you install the compatability check disabler? [00:44] ijwyn: anything else segfaulting? If normal binutils stuff is segfaulting that is starting to smell awfully like an intrusion [00:44] graingert, yes [00:44] i did [00:44] and enabled it [00:44] tgm4883: yeah, reading through the package lists etc I figured that out. Just wasn't sure if Im not missing some modules by installing just python3-gi [00:44] ironhalik, if you want to do stuff with cairo as well, then you'll probably also want python3-gi-cairo [00:45] I have a feeling my issue is easy to solve, but I don't know where to begin [00:45] ironhalik, well, you're missing all the python 2 stuff for it. Which is fine if you're developing in python 3 [00:45] tking: in about:config? [00:45] extensions.checkCompatibility [00:45] tgm4883: currently, I installed python-gobject-dev which seems to contain all needed packages [00:45] gordonjcp: well, almost everything is segfaulting, except it seems Krusader [00:46] I'm not sure I see the connection with an intrusion though? how would that make stuff segfault? [00:46] tking: duuude, thunderbird 3 [00:46] ijwyn: because frequently stuff that is not germane to the operation of the rootkit is disrupted to make it harder to track down what's going on [00:46] graingert, what? please can u explain [00:46] tking: also a nasty spammy add-on [00:46] ijwyn: what else is running on the server? [00:46] tgm4883: either way, I've got my first window drawn, so it seems to work. Thanks for the help [00:46] ironhalik, yw [00:47] Anyone know why Firefox doesn't seem to use Unity integration on my desktop installation but not laptop installation? Same level of updates, same Ubuntu extensions in each (default installation in each), both on 13.04. [00:47] Laptop looks far prettier due to Firefox not having its own bulky border in addition to the menus that appear in the Ubuntu panel. [00:47] graingert, i want to remove emails from my inbox and add them to my address book that why i need the addon because its tidious to add emails 1 by 1 [00:47] it works with tunderbird 7.0.1 === Chenzw|away is now known as Chenzw [00:48] tking: emails can't ho into the address book [00:48] s/ho/go/ [00:48] ? [00:48] do you mean email addresses or emails [00:48] when you say emails [00:48] gordonjcp: well, not much at this point, I'm mostly testing the server, and since I'd just rebooted it didn't have anything fancy, no apache or httpd yet [00:48] graingert, email address, from sender [00:49] ijwyn: the fact that it's got a GUI and some remote control software on it makes me deeply suspicious [00:49] graingert, it crawls the FROM field and save the emails [00:49] nano's working again, yay [00:49] Scrivener, I tried asking a question too, I think they're really caught up in this other guy's email issue. [00:49] ijwyn, this is a VPS? Who is it from? [00:50] hmm [00:50] blckpythn, it's alright, I'll just repost my question a little later. [00:50] anyone had problems with ubuntu and nvidia drivers? [00:50] ijwyn: just looking at the nxclient stuff [00:50] tgm4883: the server is with OVH [00:50] tking: bitch at the add-on developer [00:50] And continue research on my own. Googling this issue yields something rather opposite though. [00:50] There was a widespread problem of Firefox's menus disappearing. [00:51] But in my case it has a border instead of integrating with Unity. [00:51] Google didn't find squat for mine [00:51] And I don't know why. [00:51] ijwyn: that nxclient stuff looks sketchy as all hell [00:51] graingert, how do i install the older version of thunderbird 17.0.1 i got the tar.bz2 file which i already extracted [00:51] ijwyn: wipe and reinstall [00:52] tking: why not install the debian package? [00:52] cant find it i guess [00:53] gordonjcp, are you sure they don't install that by default? [00:53] tgm4883: no, they definitely do not [00:53] tgm4883: I have a couple of OVH VPSes and a kimsufi box [00:53] ok [00:53] is there a way to select everything in nano? not seeing an option for that in the man file... [00:53] kimsufi is what I have to be more specific [00:53] graingert, i cant find the deb file older version [00:53] ijwyn: it's either faulty or 0wned [00:54] :( [00:54] ijwyn: either way, now is a great time to contact tech support [00:54] yeah, that's what I'm thinking too :-o [00:54] ijwyn: if you haven't got anything important on it, wipe and reinstall [00:54] ijwyn: if it comes back to life and works properly, then it wasn't faulty, it was just not under your control [00:54] well that's problem, I have quite a few things on there that I'd like to keep, and since I never managed to get a working ftp connection to the box, it's a bit of a problem :-o [00:55] ijwyn: and stay away from stuff like nxclient [00:55] ijwyn: spend a fiver, get an OVH VPS for a month? === xubuntu is now known as Guest56151 [00:55] ijwyn: ftp is a great way to get broken into [00:55] ijwyn: use sftp [00:56] gordonjcp: well, the thing is, I'd tried a number of other clients and nx was the only one that gave decent results (ie. a connection that wouldn't be amazingly slow) [00:56] hello [00:56] I use ftp, but only with virtual users [00:56] looking for channel about edc17 [00:56] ijwyn: right, but don't use graphical stuff on servers [00:56] ecu's [00:56] ijwyn: it makes no sense [00:56] gordonjcp: what's the difference between a VPS and kimsufi? [00:56] ijwyn: a kimsufi is an actual physical box [00:56] ijwyn: a VPS is a virtual machine, hosted somewhere on a physical box [00:57] and that's more secure? [00:57] ijwyn: well, security isn't the issue [00:57] VPS, right? [00:57] ijwyn: it'll give you somewhere to stash your files while you unbork your kimsufi [00:57] well, if I got hacked, it would be, no? ;-) [00:57] ijwyn: if you don't pay them next month, then in another month or so they'll just wipe it [00:57] SSH is a good tool for managing servers [00:58] can you run ubuntu from a external HD? [00:58] ijwyn: that's fine, because you'll have got your server fixed and copied everything back by then [00:58] philwong: yes, slowly [00:58] philwong: USB3 might be okay [00:58] well, actually, I also have a hubiC account, if that's what you mean (ie. cloud) but it's not working very well and have been having trouble connecting to it in ubuntu [00:58] ijwyn: oh don't even bother with that, just copy the stuff across from one machine to the other directly [00:59] scp -r ~/stuff_i_want_to_keep mygroovynewvps.mydomain.mytld: [00:59] *blinks* how would I do that? I thought cloud was the way to do it [00:59] bam [00:59] done [00:59] aaaahhh [00:59] didn't know that, lol [00:59] especially since it won't even leave OVH most likely and go hooning across their gigabit ethernet [00:59] would I run that from OVH or my home box? [01:00] ijwyn: you'd run it from your OVH machine, pointing at your other OVH machine ;-) [01:00] ijwyn: and you really, really need to not be using a GUI for managing your server [01:00] what exactly do you do, on the GUI, anyway? [01:00] oh, I was thinking of sending it to my own machine, but that could work... [01:00] nothing server-y has a GUI interface [01:00] ijwyn: if it's not a lot of stuff and you've got a fast connection you can copy it home [01:01] well, let's put it this way: I have no patience for cli, it tends to drive me nuts, gui's are just quicker (ie. more practical as I said before) [01:01] scp -r myknackeredkimsufi.mydomain.mytld:/path/to/stuff . [01:01] I have no memory, so remembering all the commands and options is a big pain for me [01:01] ijwyn: what do you actually use the GUI for though? [01:01] Externalized vs. internalized knowledge [01:01] there is no way to manage anything on a Linux server from a GUI [01:02] ijwyn, probably worth mentioning that if the box is owned, that you shouldn't be backing up any binaries/scripts from there and that you should blow away any SSH keys you may have [01:02] tgm4883: +1 [01:02] gordonjcp: everything, I use it like my home machine, to run stuff, I'll double click an icon to run Krusader for instance, which is a great file manager which I couldn't run in a shell account [01:02] ijwyn: I am struggling to understand why you'd do that [01:02] I would also argue that SSH is faster for server management === zipy_ is now known as zipy [01:02] tgm4883: nah, no binaries, was mainly thinking videos and music stuff [01:02] ijwyn: how would you manage Apache, for example? [01:03] would anyone recommend that i install keypassx? it is in the software center on the meain screen [01:03] chaotix: do you have a lot of passwords to remember? [01:03] chaotix, uh, do you want to use keypassx? [01:03] i would like to [01:03] I use lastpass [01:03] gordonjcp: it's a daemon, doesn't really need managing, I just run it like I do on my own machine runs in the background [01:03] chaotix, well if you want to use it, then yes, you do need to install it ;) [01:04] ijwyn: I don't think you really understand servers [01:04] my question was, how was your experience with it [01:04] anyway, it's 2am, I'm off to bed [01:04] chaotix, it works really well. We use it at work. [01:04] it's hard to type with this cat asleep on my hand [01:04] g'night, and thanks for the help gordonjcp [01:04] lol @ the cat comment [01:05] chaotix, I run into some bug that it doesn't display the whole password when trying to view it, but a copy&paste grabs the whole password [01:05] tgm4883, thanks [01:05] I have a question [01:05] blckpythn, shoot [01:05] So, I installed cinnamon and was making changes and after an Alt+F2, r, enter, neither Cinnamon or Unity will load now. Where do I begin? [01:05] is there a bug in ubuntu for sound? I have an x61s, and the higher i turn up the volume, the choppier the sound, but only when it's on the built in speakers [01:05] ijwyn, I must echo gordonjcp. Run servers with a minimal attack footprint [01:06] blckpythn, probably with ~/.xsession-errors [01:06] tgm4883: yup [01:06] Ok...problem, I can't even get a terminal [01:06] shiman6, I'm sure there are lots of bugs with sound ;) [01:06] blckpythn, not even with ctrl+alt+F1 [01:06] tgm4883: why, thank you ;p [01:06] ijwyn: a closed-source binary-only "remote access" app is not safe [01:06] Correction, I can get a terminal :P [01:07] ijwyn: prove that nxclient isn't just sending all your keystrokes to some random criminal in Russia, or the US [01:07] I get a permission denied with ~/.xsession-errors [01:07] ijwyn: you can pretty much guarantee that any password you ever typed into that machine is now compromised [01:07] Forgive me, I'm new [01:07] blckpythn, I'd cat that file and look for errors [01:08] blckpythn, you shouldn't [01:08] gordonjcp: well, it does seem like a rather popular app though, if it really was THAT bad, wouldn't it be known by now? just a bit surprised by all this... [01:08] blckpythn, do you own everything in your ~/ dir? [01:08] Pretty fresh install, so yeah [01:08] blckpythn, well if you get permission denied, then no, you don't [01:09] I installed 2 hours ago...how could I not? [01:09] blckpythn, IDK, do 'ls -la ~/' [01:09] -rw on .xsession-errors [01:10] ijwyn, again, minimal attack footprint. Tunnel all that over an SSH tunnel then have it only listen on localhost [01:10] (or just don't use a gui ;) ) [01:10] blckpythn, what is the full permissions? [01:10] gui's are getting lots of love here, lol [01:11] guess I shouldn't be surprised though, heh [01:11] ijwyn, well for servers, they won't get a lot of love anywhere [01:11] uh sorry, cat ~/.xsession-errors works [01:11] again, very new [01:11] blckpythn, any error messages look exciting? [01:12] JS ERROR: !!! looks exciting [01:12] lots of excietment really [01:12] I don't use the machine *just* as a server, though, possibly that is my problem, but using two machines would be a bit expensive... [01:12] blckpythn, Did you say the guest account works? [01:12] Yeah oddly enough [01:13] blckpythn, ok, so rather than use tty1, you should login as a guest, then open a terminal and change to your user to grab this info [01:13] blckpythn, you installed this two hours ago? [01:13] yeah... [01:13] blckpythn, I'd probably just create a new user, copy over any files I wanted to keep and delete the old user [01:14] iat'v'n a ddurm' !!!!!! [01:14] dpkg-reconfigure? [01:14] blckpythn, no, useradd [01:15] I know, I'm just saying, would that not fix it? [01:16] blckpythn, no. if it works for the guest account it's not a system wide issue [01:16] A question if I install ubuntu on the same HD as windows, if after I want to delete ubuntu from the hardrive, will the Ubuntu partition automaticaly marge back with the window partition? [01:16] blckpythn, it's something in your home directory [01:16] hf5e, nope [01:16] blckpythn, is there anything in your home directory worth saving? [01:16] hf5e: nope, u'd have to open disk management in windows and fill out the windows partition [01:17] is it easy to do that? [01:17] hf5e, assuming you aren't using wubi, what ^^ said [01:17] No, nothing worth saving [01:17] hf5e: its very easy :) [01:17] I'd like to keep the username though >_< [01:18] ok [01:18] blckpythn, so you could probably just do 'rm -rf ~/*' [01:18] and second question is can the ubuntu 13 theme be changed? [01:18] ahahaha [01:18] hf5e: if ur talking about the looks of ur GUI .. yeah, any way u want [01:18] blckpythn, that will delete everything in your home directory, then just copy over the default stuff from /etc/skel/ [01:18] ok, worth a shot [01:18] I would like it to look like the odler ubuntus [01:18] is it possible? [01:19] like I mean not with this side bar thing [01:19] hf5e: like without Unity ? [01:19] !nounity [01:19] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [01:19] Everything is still there... [01:19] even .xsession-errors.old [01:19] hf5e: that should be sufficient help for you mate [01:19] you ran that full command while logged in as yourself (not guest)? [01:20] thanks [01:20] Yeah, sudo su too [01:20] blckpythn, you added sudo su? or you ran that command, then another command with sudo su added? [01:20] blckpythn, because if you just added sudo su, then yea, that probably wouldn't work [01:20] sudo su.... then rm -rf ~/* [01:21] blckpythn, so you basically told it to delete everything in /root/ [01:21] that would explain why nothing happened... [01:21] blckpythn, don't do that [01:21] I dont see "ubuntu-gnome desktop" but I see "gnome desktop utilities" is that the one? [01:21] blckpythn, just login as yourself, and run the command without sudo [01:21] but my prompt is root@comp:/home/myuser# === wolfwzr__ is now known as wolfwzr [01:22] blckpythn, ~/ is a shortcut to $HOME [01:22] blckpythn, and for root, $HOME is /root [01:22] blckpythn, so despite what directory you are in, you told it to delete everything in /root/ [01:23] ...there are 4 hidden folders in /root/ [01:23] and thats it [01:23] blckpythn: What are you trying to achieve?? [01:23] haha, trying to get a desktop environment back [01:23] huttan, we're trying to delete everything in his home folder [01:24] hehe ok [01:24] I can't get Unity or Cinnamon to come up [01:24] except on a guest account... so yeah [01:24] how can I protect the mail server against brute force? [01:24] is there supposed to be more in /root/? should I just reformat? [01:25] blckpythn, not usually [01:25] blckpythn: nope, not if its fresh install [01:25] ok whew [01:25] blckpythn: whats the name of the user u wanna delete? [01:25] how can I protect the mail server against brute force? [01:25] blckpythn, to switch between DEs/WMs you have to log out and click the icon in the login box [01:25] huttan, well we aren't deleting a user [01:25] it's like at the top right of it [01:25] huttan, just the stuff in it's directory [01:26] why not just remake it if its fresh? [01:26] ok so rm -rf /home/myuser/* didn't work either [01:26] blckpythn, weird [01:26] everything is still there [01:26] no error or anything [01:27] Ari-Yang, I know that, neither loads [01:27] blckpythn, I'd say try 'sudo rm -rf /home/myuser/*' [01:27] hi what is the command line tool to see audio interfaces === jhutchin1_wk is now known as jhutchins [01:27] who can help me? [01:27] zebrafusion, aplay -l ? [01:27] i shutdown restart and now my headphone sound is gone [01:27] again, no dice [01:28] tgm4883: i was more thinking like the gnome command [01:28] to select [01:28] blckpythn, ok, last resort. 'sudo rm -rf /home/myuser' if that doesn't delete it then IDK what will [01:28] is there a flag for rm that removes hidden as well? [01:29] blckpythn: it should do that the way u are doing it [01:29] non-hidden folders are gone [01:29] lots of hidden left [01:29] blckpythn: Try to remove the user alltogether and remake it? [01:29] Hi [01:30] Best way to do that? [01:30] just deleting the folder should work [01:30] blckpythn, 'sudo rm -rf /home/myuser' [01:30] ok, deleted the whole user folder [01:30] blckpythn: userdel username && rm -rf /home/username [01:30] reboot? [01:30] blckpythn: then adduser username === epzil0n is now known as Guest51634 [01:31] blckpythn, no, just recreate the user folder [01:31] can't delete self while logged in as self :) [01:31] blckpythn, 'sudo mkdir /home/myuser' [01:31] got it [01:31] sorry, thought u were still root... u have good help, so im gonna stay out [01:31] blckpythn, then 'sudo chown myuser:myuser /home/myuser' [01:31] ok [01:32] blckpythn, then lets copy over the default stuff 'sudo cp -R /etc/skel/* ~/' [01:33] blckpythn, that should give you 4 files in ~/ [01:33] all hidden files === mikestewart is now known as ms|dindin [01:33] ...just examples.desktop [01:33] How do I reset my unity desktop? I added an updated ppa and tried to remove the packages from it and it deleted a huge bunch of other stuff. [01:33] blckpythn, you don't have .bash_logout .bashrc .profile .xscreensaver [01:34] I think I've got all the packages back now but lightdm gives me an empty screen after a login. I've logged into the machine from another machine via ssh and am trying to resolve the last bit.. [01:34] boris66, you have to remove the ppa, update with software updater and it should all go back to normal [01:34] i've run apt-get install unity-desktop to grab everything back [01:34] not from cp -R /etc/skel/* /home/myuser/ [01:34] I have a question about Ubuntu 12.04: the "power" button in the upper right corner of the unity GUI sometimes does things that are not what I have selected. For example: I'll click Restart, but it will log out. [01:35] blckpythn, can you look in /etc/skel and see if there are hidden files in there? [01:35] Has anyone experienced this? Does anyone know of a fix? [01:35] yeah, its got bash_logout .bashrc examples.desktop and .profile [01:36] blckpythn, can you copy those to your home dir then fix ownership on them? [01:37] I only have a bare display with no global menubar or launcher. how do I either get them present or run software updater form the command line? [01:38] tgm4883, blkpythn, the shell doesn't include hidden files when it expands the *. That's why the earlier rm and the cp aren't hitting the hidden files. Copy them individually if there are only a few [01:38] ef5c_ef5c, ah that makes sense. Thanks for the info [01:38] tgm4883, yw [01:38] ok, I think I've got them copied, but I don't know how to fix the permissions [01:38] blckpythn, then 'sudo chown -R myuser:myuser /home/myuser' [01:39] doesnt software updater just do the same as a combination of apt-get update/dist-upgrade and apt-get -f install ? [01:39] (which I've already done) [01:40] boris66, does the guest account work? [01:42] Alright, /home/myuser has .bash_logout, .bashrc, examples.desktop, and .profile with permissions [01:42] no. same as my usual account. All I have is an xterm in my non-priv account, sudoed to root [01:42] I do see this in the lightdm startup files... [01:43] The name org.gnome.SessionManager was not provided by any .service files [01:43] blckpythn, try logging in now [01:43] tgm4883, reboot? or is there a way to get back out of this prompt? [01:43] blckpythn, ctrl+alt+f7 [01:44] :( [01:44] still just a wallpaper and cursor [01:44] :( [01:45] that doesn't make sense [01:45] root login, delete and recreate user? [01:46] blckpythn, you could trying making a new user, but IDK why it would be any different [01:46] you could login as guest, and see what exists in the guest users home dir === Chex is now known as Guest44432 [01:46] ok === newbie is now known as Guest42570 [01:47] All the normal stuff [01:48] blckpythn, sec [01:49] Is it possible those service files don't exist for org.gnome.SessionManager? === Puzzled is now known as Guest80163 [01:51] blckpythn, ok, while signed in as the guest account, open a terminal [01:51] open [01:51] blckpythn, do 'ls /tmp' do you see a directory guest-home.SOMETHING [01:52] guest-3M65d same as the terminal title [01:52] Hi [01:52] I am a newbie with Ubuntu and such like [01:52] and am very puzzled. can someone help me with some problems? [01:52] blckpythn, ok, that is the guest users home directory [01:52] Anyone know what a Kernel Panic is? [01:52] very just ask and someone will try to help [01:52] you could try copying everything in that directory to your home directory [01:53] kernel panics are caused by a number of things, you have to be more specific [01:53] VFS: Cannot open root device "(null)" or unknown-block [01:53] can't do copies from the guest command prompt... [01:54] Please append a correct @root=@ boot option; here are the available partitions [01:54] blckpythn, do 'sudo su myuser' [01:54] very, you might need to see your fstab [01:54] I am trying to install ubuntu of a usb key [01:54] hmm, that might not work [01:54] whats an fstab :) [01:54] tgm4883, "sudo: unable to change to sudoers gid: Operation not permitted" [01:54] fstab is where you store your hardware parameter for devices like cdroms and hard drives with partitions [01:54] blckpythn, ok, do 'ctrl+alt+f1' and login and see if that dir still exists [01:55] it's located /etc/fstab [01:55] thanks wheatthin, told you I was a newbie [01:55] Its on the USB drive? [01:55] tgm4883: Yup :) [01:55] very, is that where you installed the os? [01:55] if I use a copy of windows on a working machine to to navigate the drive [01:56] I just made a pen drive with linux live usb [01:56] very, you might not be able to edit the files [01:56] can someone explain, I installed ubuntu using the "install alongside them" feature... I have no idea where ubuntu got installed to [01:56] very, I'd suggest using a livedvd [01:56] and im trying to install it on an oooooooold computer [01:56] blckpythn, ok, now copy over the stuff [01:56] did it actualy marge with windows in the same partition? [01:56] alright, I keep copying the directories to a file in the destination directory.... [01:56] the dvd drive is bust [01:56] :/ [01:57] so to access this fstab... [01:57] very, hmm you can try to edit the file, but I doubt it.. plus you need to know the UUID of the usb drive [01:58] its on the laptop firmware... or in the files live linux usb created [01:58] is there a secret method to updating from 12.04 to 13.04, without the obligatory universal implosion? [01:58] to put the setting in /etc/fstab [01:58] very, it's in the files on the usb drive [01:58] ok :) [01:58] ill have a look [01:58] oops. I forgot to add... while skipping 12.10 [01:59] !info statistic [01:59] Package statistic does not exist in raring [01:59] !info R [01:59] Package R does not exist in raring [02:00] what is name of package of gnu r for statistic in ubuntu ? [02:00] No luck tgm4883, copied everything over and same issue. Thanks for your help, I learned quite a bit. I think it's time to reinstall though [02:00] Does anyone know if there's any "Rhythmbox Remote" thing for Android?

[02:06] I got a read-only deal last time I was in there... [02:07] I'll look again [02:07] So far not great Daughain [02:07] blckpythn, I hope it gets better. [02:07] :) it will, I crapped out a fresh install in no time flat [02:08] wheatthin cant seem to find that using windows to browse the disk [02:08] trying to learn how to fix it [02:08] any chance it might be called something else? [02:08] very, not the slight chance [02:08] I this command correct " apt-cache search name_of_program" ... I want to find if a certain program/plugin exists... [02:08] *Is [02:08] A1Recon, affirmative [02:08] It happens. [02:09] I wiped my fstab last night. =) [02:09] eww [02:09] :P [02:09] Daughain: And I assume that now your machine won't mount anything. [02:09] SonikkuAmerica, I had a backup, so the fix was simple. [02:09] :) [02:10] Just that immediate "Oh$***!" monment. =) [02:10] Stupid dist-upgrade from earlier today broke my X, why does this always happen to me? [02:11] Fresh-Fresh install time [02:11] When I click disconnect from the wireless menu of the panel in Unity it doesn't disconnect. [02:11] blckpythn: What's a fresh-FROZEN install. :) [02:12] yep, formatted and debootstrapped in about 20 minutes (saved my archives folder on thumbdrive) [02:12] It's a preconfigured image [02:12] SonikkuAmerica, Thats what I had with some bad ram chips... [02:12] lol [02:12] :) [02:12] :) [02:12] tgm4883: thanks again, goodnight all [02:13] When I manually turn off the wireless connection it is then automatically reenabled. [02:13] "apt-cache search rhythmbox-plugin-repeat-one-song" gives no result?? Anyone knows why? [02:13] A1Recon, the plugin is probably packaged with other plugins as a general package [02:13] !info rhythmbox-plugin-repeat-one-song [02:14] Package rhythmbox-plugin-repeat-one-song does not exist in raring [02:14] ubottu: pfifo: Thanks!! [02:14] Your welcome, but keep in mind im only a bot [02:14] lol [02:15] A1Recon: You can always check against ubottu :) [02:15] wheatthin.. maybe you can help me come up with another solution to my problem, as this linux malarkey is a bit beyond me! [02:15] Hey guys what torrenting client do you recommend? [02:15] wheatthin: i know ubottu, just thought it would have something funny to say.... But instead it gave me this"Sorry, I don't know anything about pfifo: Thanks!!" Ha Ha [02:16] basically I simply want to install a different operating system on a computer that has no cd/dvd drive [02:16] She is lying! we kno eachother very well [02:16] very, as your stuff is broken, I'd suggest just reinstalling it [02:16] A1Recon, that plugin is in https://launchpad.net/~fossfreedom/+archive/rhythmbox-plugins [02:16] partounian: I personally use uTorrent to download the different Ubuntu versions and Distros. [02:16] in an attempt to make the currently un-functioning second VGA output work on a flat screen TV [02:17] Re-install what do you think? [02:17] it currently has a version of windows 7 installed on it [02:17] Wine or Native utorrent? [02:17] partounian: whatever you like the most ;) [02:17] but i installed that a while ago using someone elses external dvd drive [02:17] partounian, transmission should be installed by default [02:17] partounian, standard torrent is good enough, else i would choose Deluge [02:18] very, you can use wubi I believe still [02:18] partounian: I personally use it on my Windows 7 machine, but would use Transmission or Deluge on Ubuntu [02:18] launch it within windows [02:19] I'm at a private site which does not allow aria2/1.9.0 BitLet.org/0.1 Cloud based servers, Any Client, Any version.

[02:19] very, actually no question is stupid, as long as it's a focused one [02:20] partounian, how can they not allow it? Its your computer. [02:20] pfifo: It reports "bad data". [02:20] hello everybody, somebody could run a media server for xbox 360 with ushare, currently ? I cannot make the secure key work [02:20] partounian, if its firewalled then change the default port and require encryption [02:21] wheatthin lol. haha thanks. i kinda wanted to get rid of windows though, im presuming thats not possible by running an install from within windows [02:21] I think you have the opportunity to install onto the usb drive [02:21] wheatthin I was kinda hoping with a strong easterly wind, and a fresh install of something other than windows 7 my 2nd vga output might magically come to life [02:21] Very: Oh, just run a LiveCD or LiveUSB, and chose Install. Overwrite the Windows that is installed. Make sure EVERYTHING you want is backed up, though. === varun_ is now known as varunendra [02:22] miningdude I have made a usb drive using linux live dvd [02:22] very http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/install-ubuntu-with-windows [02:22] just check it out and see [02:22] Very: Then boot from that. You have to tell the computer to first Boot from US, and reboot. [02:23] miningdude yeh done that [02:23] says i have a kernel panic [02:23] i have tried the usb on another computer [02:23] boots fine [02:23] Does anyone know how to repeat one song in Rhythmbox (Raring Ringtail)? [02:23] Must be your computer then, Very? [02:23] Yeh, but it is running a version of windows 7 at the moment [02:24] and if i take the usb out. it will boot that fine [02:24] very, how old is tyhe computer? [02:24] off the hard drive that is in it [02:24] You have a Disc drive? [02:24] old lol [02:24] not a disc drive [02:24] a bashed up cd/dvd drive [02:24] very, scan your ram for defects. [02:24] Then that should work... If it still has useability [02:24] very: The D in CD and DVD == "disc" [02:25] its an intel cm 520 processer [02:25] with 1 gig of ram [02:25] yeh the cd/dvd drive doesnt work [02:25] Does anyone know how to repeat one song in Rhythmbox (Raring Ringtail)? [02:25] very use wubi, see if it'll install [02:26] Very: Oh. Try getting a version like 10.10 and see if it works? After trying the Wubi suggestion like WheatThin is suggesting [02:26] wheatthin it probably will. my question is, (hopefully focused lol) do you think it will actually solve my hardware issue... im wondering where it will get gfx drivers from for example... is it installed within windows... or does it boot from an independent set of files [02:27] if there is just one partition on the drive [02:27] very, just follow the onscreen wizard, it'll more or less tell you [02:28] hi.. any idea why i would get an error " near line 7 package 'linuxqq:i386': [02:28] So I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/147942/how-do-i-install-third-party-rhythmbox-plugins I wonder why the plugins (like rhythmremote and repeat-one-song)are not available for 13.04.

[02:55] rjacks, hmm maybe bios has wrong portnummbers [02:55] I installed from the download on AMDs website.

[03:01] nurow2, what do you mean by break anyways? [03:01] wheatthin, why do u need beeing connected more then 20m idling? [03:01] my computer freezes during the boot process [03:01] and is completely unusable.

From memory, right click on the ibus icon at the right top corner triggers the ibus' menu, while left click triggers the menu of an input method. Any hint?

[04:25] cfhowlett_: thanks [04:26] but apparently I'm the only one who is in that room :( [04:26] office_2:or try the drivers in settings [04:27] Meatball_py, ok. sorry. I'm only a foreigner in China and I don't actually read/speak or write Chinese so, no pinyin for me ... [04:28] cfhowlett_: I guess it applies to any other ibus input methods. Thank you all the same.

IOS? dropbox? [04:31] wheatthin: that seems to have failed - network error. about to start the download again. Wouldnt the wubi that I used to install it have put it somewhere though? It was a wubi executable file, that then proceeded to download ubuntu and install it. would it have downloaded an iso, that will now be on that computer to do this? [04:31] ubuntu one, sorry [04:32] probyyprobs, I don't think so. [04:32] lauratika, stuff in uONE stays in uONE until you explicitly delete it.

[04:39] luke1 [04:39] probyyprobs, those are actually pretty minimal specs.

Though, Lubuntu is specified for lower end machines. [04:40] i dont mind what it runs tbh... just want to see if a new os install will bring my VGA output back to life [04:40] Not gonna lie, Ubuntu wouldn't be my choice for under 1GB memory; though, since this is #ubuntu...

[06:16] on my 12.10 i manually set internal IP using Gui. When PC starts, it isn't automatically connected to internet. I have to make two clicks on panel, in order to choose wired connection. Then it connects. [06:16] There is a Samba file though, with some logs in it. [06:17] How to make it connect automatically, as it used to be?

[06:20] SuperLag i would use it at my own risk [06:20] miningdude, i guess thee ae not. not at home atm. 8am here [06:20] MonkeyDust: Understood.

[06:32] just figured it out [06:32] there is a file in /var/cache/apt/ that lists what is in said PPA [06:33] SuperLag for future reference, how did you do it? [06:33] ok [06:33] MonkeyDust: first I did a recursive find for "pasgui" as it was a name in the PPA line in Software Sources [06:33] MonkeyDust: figured out it was Code::Blocks [06:34] then I just used dpkg to remove it, and removed the lines from the settings for software sources [06:35] 3 PPAs.

One for xedgers (Nvidia stuff) [06:35] i install ubuntu on a new pc and was working on installing applications, it was woking ok, i restart the pc and suddenly opera wont load, it looks like is on in unity but can see nothing same with skype, any idea what can be the issue, starting opera via terminal gives me this (opera:3997): Gtk-WARNING **: Unable to locate theme engine in module_path: "pixmap", [06:35] dill: how did you install Opera? [06:36] via the website then .deb via ubuntu centre [06:36] hmm [06:36] That's odd, sounds like you're missing a theme engine, but... Opera ain't a Gtk app, it's Qt-based [06:36] MonkeyDust: having trouble getting the fingerprint reader to behave, and I'm not the only one with this issue [06:36] skype too, and icons wont show in notification area [06:36] dill: sudoa pt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf [06:36] Hello, I've setup "unattended updates" and it has performed an update. It's set to automatically reboot if needed but it didn't do that after this update which required a reboot. [06:37] Personally, I think unattended updates are a very bad idea. That's just my $.02 [06:37] * KM0201 agrees [06:38] KM0201: done, should i restart ubuntu [06:38] or just try again launch opera? [06:38] uh, shouldn't need to i wouldn't think [06:38] just try to launch opera [06:39] odd not working, either skype. hmmm does the fact that no icon in tray means something? === SJD|WORKing is now known as sjd_zeus [06:40] im trying via terminal and nothing comes up...

[06:40] personally, i switched to Mate, and it's heaven [06:41] mate? what is it? [06:42] tannji, you still around? [06:42] very odd behaviour, never see it before. now terminal wont show info at all [06:42] nurow2, ya man, how did it go? [06:43] better... [06:43] much better [06:43] but, now I have a new strange problem [06:43] nurow2, ah....? uhoh [06:43] skype depends on 32-bit libs too, I *think* [06:43] so if you don't have ia32-libs installed, you might want that [06:43] there isnt a 64-bit skype out yet... [06:43] it installs ia32libs automatically (at least it should) [06:44] tannji: Right, it's 32-bit. 64-bit systems can run 32-bit apps with proper libraries installed. [06:44] both of my monitors are way under-scanned each time I boot the computer. If I turn the overscan all the way up, it fixes it. but once I reboot, the problem is back. After rebooting, if I look at the overscan settings, it shows my overscan all the way up (even though it isn't) if i move it down and back up again, it fixes it until I reboot. [06:44] dill: dunno, thats a common solution to the "pixmap" problem however.. here's a link... http://ubuntutechnical.wordpress.com/2011/11/07/gtk-warning-unable-to-locate-theme-engine-in-module_path-pixmap/ [06:44] theadmin: if only we could make a clean break with 32-bit tech :) [06:44] dill: what is your graphics device? [06:45] SuperLag: Agreed, it's so old I don't even know who uses those anymore. Apparently, Microsoft does :/ [06:45] theadmin, yep.... but from what I have read recently, skype is pretty borked for ubuntu [06:46] SuperLag: eventually we will.. but there's enoughf olks out there still running 32bit hardware, it's worthwhile for linux to support it for now [06:46] tannji: Eh, works fine on my 13.04 box [06:46] KM0201: is a new pc how can i check that? [06:46] theadmin, really. I might have to give it ago and compare notes with you at some point [06:46] dill: check what? [06:46] a go* [06:46] odd enough firefox launch normal [06:47] dill: what are you wanting to check? [06:47] if it's a new computer, the odds of it being 32bit, are very very small. [06:47] graphics device [06:47] nurow2, still there? [06:47] dill: oh... lspci should show it (lowercase L) [06:48] well the 64 bit of opera version didn run [06:48] dill: lspci | grep -i vga [06:48] Woah, lots of KDE-related upgrades today.

[06:49] o.O [06:49] nurow2, nope, I missed it, one sec [06:49] KM0201: yes, i was trying to clear my self, dont bother with my coment [06:49] why did you install 32biit?.. just curious... i stuck w/ 32bit forever, because 64bit hadn't developed far enough, but even I switched about 2yrs ago [06:50] nurow2, I take it you played with those settings in Catalyst? [06:50] no reason [06:51] how much RAM does your system have? [06:51] yes [06:51] sudo apt-get install gtk2-engines-pixbuf shows i jhave the latest install [06:51] tannji: both of my monitors are way under-scanned each time I boot the computer. If I turn the overscan all the way up, it fixes it. but once I reboot, the problem is back. After rebooting, if I look at the overscan settings, it shows my overscan all the way up (even though it isn't) if i move it down and back up again, it fixes it until I reboot. [06:52] dill: Do the same for gtk3-engines-pixbuf then [06:52] Err, never mind, that doesn't exist. [06:52] 2 gb [06:53] theadmin: Unable to locate package gtk3-engines-pixbuf [06:54] whats the difference from 32 and 64 [06:54] dill: what did you download, the opera package from opera.com? [06:54] dill: in this case.. probably nothing. [06:54] yes, deb package [06:54] as usual [06:55] and it was working fine was customizing it and after a restart... kaput!... [06:55] i reinstall opera, dowloading the deb again and nothing [06:55] dill: wellt here's your answer.. your "customizing" probably fubarred something w/ Unity [06:56] dill: go to /home/username/.opera and delete that folder (note, you will lose all opera settings)... so if you want to copy it elsehwere before doing so.. thats fine)... [06:56] after you delete that folder, restart opera [06:56] can be, but was a regular thing, more like settings in opera. [06:57] dill: well, just a suggestion [06:57] i'd delete your current configuration and start over [06:57] yes thanx for that... [06:57] doind so [06:57] doing sorry [06:58] nurow2, you're running dual monitors, not output to tv? [06:58] aa! it worked, it worked... feels like raining!. [06:58] should i do the same with skype? [06:58] yeah, somethign in your "tweaking".... is not agreeing with unity... [06:58] dill: won't hurt anything w/ skype.. [06:59] you'll just lose any customizations you have. [06:59] well since i installed can launch it [06:59] what about the tray icon showing opera, i already apply all in whitelist [06:59] dill: that i have no idea on. [07:00] unity and the notification area never seemed to work right for me [07:00] well now unity wont pop up!! [07:00] it's gone [07:00] .. [07:01] install lxde, mate, xfce, or God forbid.. KDE... problem solved [07:01] mate works good with gnome? [07:01] mate works flawlessly for me [07:02] but.. i loved gnome 2.x... so.. i guess thats why like it so much [07:02] dill or try fallback-session [07:02] is gnome theme? [07:03] no, gnome is a library [07:03] dill no, it looks like gnome2, maybe you want that [07:03] tannji, i have dual monitors for now. I also will be adding a tv, but first I have to get this right [07:03] dill: http://imagebin.org/263178 [07:03] nurow2, are you using hdmi output to monitors? [07:04] MonkeyDust: more like i want to not have issues with unity, i dont use it that much anyway [07:04] they are both DVI to HDMI (hdmi on the monitor side) [07:05] KM0201: seems nice what about the dock or application bar? [07:05] is there any [07:05] nurow2, take a look at this link, I think it might work. notice it requires Xrandr: http://newagesoldier.com/linux-hdmi-resize-screen-overscan-fix-ubuntu/ [07:05] nope... applications are launched in the applicationss menu [07:05] you could make one i guess [07:06] nurow2, also notice that he forgot to put 2 dashes before Output and Transform [07:06] how do i get xrandr? [07:07] dill: http://imagebin.org/263180 [07:07] dill: i hav a couple of things that i can launch from a "side panel".. that i have set to transparent... it's just a couple of things i like a click away... it works for me. [07:07] nurow2, should be in the software center [07:08] KM0201: looks nice, thats gnome 3? [07:08] dill: no, that is Mate desktop.. gnome 3 sucks just about as badly Unity.... Mate... is basically gnome 2 [07:09] here's what i mean by the "side panel" (look on the left...) it only comes up when i move my cursor all the way to the left of the screen.. http://imagebin.org/263181 [07:09] KM0201: you are right freaking sucks... [07:10] dill: yep... [07:10] Hello [07:11] i liked Unity... even preached it's simplicity, etc.. then i decided to take a trip down memory lane w/ Mate(which as I said, is essentially Gnome 2., which i used for years)... and then I realized how much i hated unity... and i've used mate since. [07:11] if you really want dead sexy simplicity/speed... LXDE [07:11] hi all [07:11] Whats the best way to learn perl? [07:11] tannji, is it lxrandr? [07:12] nurow2, not sure, I didnt have to use it... one sec [07:12] unfortunately now, i see Unity as being sort of like Windows 8's interface... someone is trying to make one user interface, for phones, tablets, and PC's... and it just isn't gonna work. [07:13] i think unity will translate well to phones/tablets/touch screens. [07:13] I installed lxrandr.. when I do that command I get: warning: output HDMI1 not found; ignoring [07:13] KM0201: it works great on the desktop, too [07:13] gordonjcp: i guess thats a matter of opinion.... [07:13] KM0201: i think is pushing a lot mobility and new divices... and seems they are sticking with it. [07:13] KM0201: far better than say Gnome 2, with that big ugly bar at the top and bottom [07:14] gordonjcp: again, matter of opinion... [07:14] KM0201: generally my opinion is that it doesn't matter *which* desktop you use, they're all much the same [07:14] gordonjcp: certanly should evolve a bit more in terms of customization [07:14] dill: as KM0201 says, it's a matter of opinion [07:14] dill: well, keep mind... it took KDE4 quite a while before it really became usable... i'd even say in the very beginning, it was a complete wreck... now, it's not bad.. [07:15] dill you can use unity-tweak-tool [07:15] dill: I couldn't care less about customisation, which is one of the reasons I don't like KDE [07:15] * KM0201 doesn't like KDE either [07:15] KDE has too many options to fiddle with, to do even the simplest thing like change mouse tracking speed, and if you want to get rid of the irritating animations and visual and sound effects you've got about 50 different things to adjust [07:16] i don't care about customizing, i just the user interface, to get out of the way... for the most part. [07:16] KM0201: yeah [07:16] Hello, I found myself needing to use a 512 MB RAM machine, I've installed Ubuntu server so far, upgrading to latest release right now. Which desktop environment would you recommend for me ? I'm a KDE/Gentoo user. [07:16] hello, i have some strange problem with colors when playing video it's like this http://www.nardev.org/_temp/colors.png and it's same whatever player i use. I'm on squeeze. what could be the problem? [07:16] I have no experience with lightweight environments so far. [07:16] KM0201: I basically change the desktop background from the default Ubuntu "bruise and septicaemia colours" and that's about it [07:16] MonkeyDust: at some point i try but some conflicts with the system i forgot about it. [07:16] emite: LXDE [07:16] emite: 512mb of ram?.. thats LXDE land [07:16] emite: actually I suggest you install another half gig of RAM [07:16] nurow2, not sure... most of the commentary I am finding references Xrandr.... might ask again here, or on ubuntu support forum [07:16] * KM0201 agrees with gordonjcp [07:17] emite: here's a fiver, go and bring it into the 21st century [07:17] lol [07:17] gordonjcp: that's not up to me actually, it's a temporary computer I got at work. [07:17] emite, lxde or xfce4 [07:17] depending on the t ype of ram, should be cheap. [07:17] xfce is a pig compared to lxde.. it's gotten as bad as unity/kde with its latest releases. [07:17] KM0201: this is weird, i closed opera relaunch and happens same issue, seems is a problem with the .opera [07:17] emite, As far a canonical de lubuntu is the lightest, but there are handfuls of others depends on what you want really. [07:17] ok... any on else know is lxrandr = xrandr? [07:18] canonical de lubuntu? [07:18] dill: dunno.. i don't use opera much.. ijust installed it to test your little opera.. my guess is, it's arguing with unity for some reason [07:18] * gordonjcp -> out [07:18] because its working flawlessly for me [07:18] looks like I will be trying LXDE. [07:18] emite, canonical is ubutnu de is desktop lubuntu is lxde with a bit more. [07:18] tannji, either way, xrandr is installed actually. It's just giving me that error: warning: output HDMI1 not found; ignoring [07:18] KM0201: seems like that [07:18] emite: at work we basically just ended up bullying the managing director into paying to upgrade the work laptops from 512MB (1GB in my case) to 2.5GB ;-) [07:19] is there a way to disable unity [07:19] dill http://i.imgur.com/3N5f6.jpg [07:19] dill: well you'd need another desktop to run in its place [07:19] !nounity|dill, [07:19] dill,: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [07:19] Anyone else having problems with keyboard shortcuts in 13.04? I have to press ctrl before shift on shortcuts involving ctrl and shift. shift+ctrl doesn't work. [07:19] dill simply install a different DE, logout, change login === Guest38594 is now known as g0tcha [07:20] and a lightweight web browser? is there one bundled with LXDE? I guess Firefox is out of the question? [07:20] * KM0201 sttrongly encourages the use of Mate [07:20] emite, Midori? [07:20] MonkeyDust: nice!! i can see many options now === luist_ is now known as luist [07:20] i'm guessing in... about 2yrs... Ubuntu is going to create a "Mate" release (ala Kubuntu, Lubuntu, etc..) and it's motto is gonna be "Sorry about that Unity idea.." [07:21] oal: will try it, thanks :) [07:21] emite: midori [07:21] because with Mint putting outa Mate release, and Fedora putting out a Mate release.. it's inevitable that Ubuntu gets on board [07:21] KM0201: LOL [07:22] KM0201: perhaps keep those sort of "smart" comments out of the channel please [07:22] lol [07:22] there is no mate release or official packages to date, [07:22] so installing lubuntu-desktop should get all the LXDE stuff installed for me, right? Is there a login manager bundled like KDM? [07:23] ikonia: lest see what the future brings to unity [07:23] emite: there is a login manager yes, [07:23] emite, yes there is, but kdm is NOT the login manager, it's the desktop environment ... look and feel [07:24] cfhowlett: I'm afraid you are confusing KDE with KDM :) [07:25] emite, D'OH! you're right, of course. [07:25] ok, thanks to all, I'm going to google the rest now. Excited to try that LXDE stuff, heard a bit about it and only good things. === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [07:28] hello, can anyone help? both of my monitors are way under-scanned each time I boot the computer. If I turn the overscan all the way up, it fixes it. but once I reboot, the problem is back. After rebooting, if I look at the overscan settings, it shows my overscan all the way up (even though it isn't) if i move it down and back up again, it fixes it until I reboot. [07:33] nurow2, I think you can fix it with that xrandr, but it will require either modifying or creating a .conf file for xorg. you might want to create a second user account to do it from, or boot the computer from usb live key, so that its easy to recover [07:34] what would i add to the xorg.conf file? [07:34] please I just got q10 but i cant install the softwarre in ubuntu [07:34] q10? [07:34] I'll give you a link, its a bit over my head, I would have to do it and break it myself to know what to tell you = ) [07:35] any idea on how to install blackberry software in ubuntu, [07:35] Anyone on 13.04 here who have a moment to test something? Open the terminal, and press ctrl+shift (in that order), then shift+ctrl. Is there any difference to you? [07:35] In my opinion, I can only use ctrl+shift+something if I press ctrl first [07:35] Very strange... [07:36] oal: that doesn't seem strange to me [07:36] KM0201, why not? [07:36] if a keyboard is "control + shift"... to me... "shift+ control" is different [07:36] sorry, keyboard shortcut.. [07:36] It has never been before [07:36] oal: i dunno, id on't use keyboard shortcuts.. but.. like i said.. it makes sense to me [07:37] I've always just hammered my pinkey on shift and ctrl, but now I have to make sure I hit ctrl first. Very annoying [07:37] abdel, I found this, never used a blackberry myself. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PortableDevices/Blackberry [07:37] just get an android. [07:37] :) [07:38] hi [07:38] i'm running ubuntu 13.04. i have a problem with an application that won't close. it's vlc player. [07:38] KM0201, I tend to agree. I upgraded last month from Moto Razr v3 to Nexus 4 ... impressive. And BB waited a bit too long to innovate and release a modern device IMO [07:39] BillyZane what happens when you try? [07:39] i tried "sudo killall vlc" , i tried "sudo killall -9 vlc" [07:39] abdel, Using "blackberry ubuntu" as search on google has a lot of hits. [07:39] BillyZane, in a terminal run PS to get the process id number of vlc. Then run kill -9 pid [07:39] BillyZane: try pidof vlc and use that number with kill -9 [07:39] MonkeyDust, the program will not quit nor would it load any movies. as of now, after using the killall commands, the icon is still on the system tray, but it's completely frozen [07:39] cfhowlett: well, im far from a smartphone expert, just got my first one about 3mo ago... but i love my Android (LG Optimus w/ JB 4.1.2 [07:39] nurow2, my link went poof. I would try back here tomorrow, earlier when some of the guys with more xserver knowledge are in. very sorry... cant freaking find the link I was just reading! [07:40] oh ok [07:40] I was trying to get vi to envoke vi instead of vim, and I think I messed up a file but I don't know which one. I think typing vi envokes vim-tiny now, which can't understand parts of my .vimrc. How can I change it back? [07:40] I use open SSh on my machines here sometimes. Is it true that having Tor installed, can leak my ssh login information? is it the Tor daemon? is there a way to kill Tor while i ssh? [07:40] BillyZane type ps -e|grep vlc, read the number, then kill that number [07:41] nurow2: are you connecting to a TV? just curious. [07:41] 3486 ? 00:00:01 vlc [07:41] BillyZane now type kill 3486 [07:41] KriShaNsin: i've never heard that... seems unlikelyt o me.. but considering there's usually some unscrupulous individuals using TOR.. it's quite possible i guess [07:41] cfhowlett, i tried that command.... bash: kill: pid: arguments must be process or job IDs [07:42] MonkeyDust, i typed it in [07:42] sudo reboot -h now :) [07:43] MonkeyDust, i redid ps -e|grep vlc , the app seems to still be running [07:43] no problem tannji [07:43] BillyZane: killall vlc [07:43] KyouReeUs4nfo, I am going to, but I haven't yet. The TV is unrelated to this problem [07:43] BillyZane did you kill the nulbe [07:43] number* [07:44] mumpitzel, did not work [07:44] MonkeyDust, i pasted exactly what you typed [07:44] !doesn't work [07:44] Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. [07:44] kill 3486 [07:44] BillyZane: try kill -9 3486 [07:44] ok [07:44] Hi, I'm having issues with my repositories. I believe it is related to my dpkg of multiple architectures. I didn't have issues with my repos before this. Could anyone help? [07:45] Baatti: what issues? [07:45] kohvihoor, i did it, i did ps -e|grep vlc afterwards, it's still running [07:45] I have a red ! inside a Triangle on my status bar up top [07:45] Baatti: there is only one architecture in a release [07:45] It's telling me that the Update information is outdated [07:45] BillyZane open System Monitor and kill the process there [07:45] kill -9 3486 riz@NightViper:~$ ps -e|grep vlc 3486 ? 00:00:01 vlc [07:45] Baatti: why do you feel it's anything to do with multiple architectures [07:45] BillyZane: it's zombied [07:46] hey if I blacklist uvcvideo , will it stay that way until i re edit the blacklist file? [07:46] My Ubuntu 12.04.2 installation just freeze that I can't even restart PC using reset button. What logs should I check? [07:46] resure: that suggests a hardware problem if the power button does nothing [07:46] ikonia, I didn't have issues with this before dpkg i386, but now it seems to be not finding the repos of some of the 64bit stuff, just a sec, let me give you an example of output from apt-get update [07:46] MonkeyDust, i have 2 system applications, system monitor and task manager, i've used both to try to kill it. it's visible on system monitor, however it's not visible in task manager [07:47] ikonia, power button turn it off, reset doesn't work [07:47] BillyZane: what ar eyou talking about dpkg i386 [07:47] BillyZane: oops, sorr, not you === _voidray is now known as voidray [07:47] like this: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) [07:47] Baatti what are you talking about "before dpkg i386" [07:47] I did sudo dpkg --add-architecture i386 [07:47] Baatti: have you been messing with your sources.list [07:47] Baatti: why did you do that !!!! [07:47] Baatti: that's just going to screw things up === olivier is now known as olvr [07:48] to get a software that only supported i386, I couldn't install it without it. I saw it on the forums [07:48] MonkeyDust, it seems we're using some strong kill processes [07:48] BillyZane try logout and back in [07:49] Baatti: you're machine will be in a mess now [07:49] i know restarting the computer works, loging out and back in might work, haven't tried [07:49] Baatti: you sound like you've also been messing with your sources.list [07:49] uname -a shows me: 3.8.0-25-generic #37-Ubuntu SMP ....... x86-64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux [07:49] Baatti: what does uname matter ? [07:49] Baatti: we know it's 64bit and you've just added 32bit packages to it [07:49] hrm, so what are my options to fix this, obviously reinstallation, but what other than that? [07:50] Baatti: `to be honest, I'd re-install it to get it to a known good state [07:50] hrm, can I re-install without formatting my drive? [07:50] Baatti: so ? [07:51] Baatti: oops, sorry [07:51] I've disabled all of my added sources [07:51] MonkeyDust, well, i'm trying to log out atm [07:51] these sources that it's pulling from are straight from installation [07:51] Baatti: well you don't need to format but a re-install will overwrite it, but I would suggest doing a totally clean install [07:51] it's taking quite awhile [07:51] MonkeyDust, the messed up thing is vlc is the only media player i have that works half decent [07:51] Baatti: bit late for that really [07:52] so I can't just simply remove an architecture? [07:52] Baatti: no [07:52] MonkeyDust, this all started after i installed boinc [07:53] and possibly caused by steam as well [07:53] i installed both at around the same time [07:53] i have boinc running at the moment, at %90 [07:54] the forums tell users to dpkg 64-bit architecture to get skype to work... [07:54] why do the forums suggest this if using multiple architectures ruins a system? [07:54] Baatti: um, doesn't skype multiarch just work? [07:55] also, ubuntu should have multiarch support out of the box [07:55] not sure, I didn't have an issue installing skype because I have a 64 bit cpu [07:55] Baati reply to that forum that the dpkg i386 is wrong, to help others. [07:55] so there should be no need to manually enable an architecture [07:56] skype 64bit should install the 32bit libraries automatically [07:56] sorry, installing skype on 64bit.. [07:56] Baatti: why ar eyou blindly following commands on a forum when all the other forums you say tell you to do something different [07:56] dude, i can't even log out [07:56] Baatti: there is official documentation in both the ubuntu website and the skype website on this [07:56] BillyZane: reboot then [07:56] ikonia it wasn't for skype XD [07:57] .. [07:57] i don't want to have to keep rebooting to fix this recurring problem [07:57] Baatti: then why are you referencing skype [07:57] It's a newb mistake. I figured that since my software wouldn't install on a 64-bit, because I saw instructions on adding achitecture for other issues, I'd try it. [07:57] Baatti: surly just fixing the "real" problem rather than referencing skype should be your concern [07:57] Baatti: what are you trying to install on 32bit? [07:57] sorry, on 64bit [07:57] my 'real' problem is that apt-get update is nto working [07:57] hi all [07:58] anyone still use 11.10 ? [07:58] b1tbkt: natty is eol [07:58] !eol > b1tbkt [07:58] b1tbkt, please see my private message [07:58] oops. [07:58] !eol > b1z24rR0n3 [07:58] b1z24rR0n3, please see my private message [07:59] Baatti: so what do you mean "it's not working" [07:59] what happens when you type sudo apt-get update [07:59] when I run sudo apt-get update I get this message: W: Failed to fetch http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring-security/Release Unable to find expected entry 'main/binary-64/Packages' in Release file (Wrong sources.list entry or malformed file) [08:00] Baatti, not good ... [08:00] yeah what's up with this? [08:00] !pastebin | Baatti pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list [08:00] Baatti pastebin your /etc/apt/sources.list: For posting multi-line texts into the channel, please use http://paste.ubuntu.com | To post !screenshots use http://imagebin.org/?page=add | !pastebinit to paste directly from command line | Make sure you give us the URL for your paste - see also the channel topic. [08:00] Baatti, "wrong source list" says it all [08:01] perhaps I have multiple sources.list files? [08:01] Baatti, you messed up with the "dpkg i386" command, time to reinstall [08:01] did you read it?.. you havea malformed entry [08:01] pastebin your .sources.list and we can figure it out. [08:01] Baatti: I've told you already ! [08:01] ok, just a sec [08:01] Baatti: 1.) you have messed up your repos 2.) you have added 32bit architechture to your repos - so it will screw your system [08:02] hmm, i thought he just instaled the 32bit libraries? the "ia32libs".. or some such? [08:02] Baatti: the best option is for you to backup your data - re-install ubuntu with the correct arch only, then pay more attention to what's going on after restoring your data [08:02] KM0201: no, he added 32bit architechture [08:02] oh well he's screwed [08:02] he needs to reinstall [08:02] Baatti: forget it.. you need to reinstall [08:02] Baatti, I've got a link to rebuild the default repos source list ... wait one [08:03] system restore [08:03] this is my sources.list http://paste.ubuntu.com/5835496/ [08:03] he'll spend more time trying to fix this than just reinstalling [08:03] no [08:03] Baatti, here tis http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/index.php [08:03] I want to learn how to fix it though [08:03] thank you cfhowlett [08:03] I cant part the channel, again. Please, somebody kicks me! Using mobile internet, paid per mb [08:03] Baatti: you need to re-install, that's how you fix it [08:03] reinstall is weak sauce. Linux is powerful. I want to learn to use the force [08:03] Baatti: you need to reinstall.. thats how you fix it. [08:03] Baatti: no - it's not a weak [08:03] I cant part the channel, again. Please, somebody kicks me! Using mobile internet, paid per mb [08:03] you screwd it up.. thats why you need to reinstall. [08:03] Baatti: it's a mature response to a messed up problem [08:04] so ubuntu doesn't seem like an intelligent os [08:04] dfaaaaa: well, you're wrong, but ok [08:04] well what about what cfhowlett is showing me? [08:04] dfaaaaa, it's as intelligent as its user is [08:04] hpw can it allow a 32bit app instllaed on a 64bit os ? [08:04] Baatti: that file re-generates source.list files [08:04] dfaaaaa: because the user told it to do it, and forced it [08:04] Baatti: still not going to give you any joy. [08:04] your problem is not a source list problem [08:04] hi [08:05] that's what the error message says though [08:05] what is the best backup tool?

[08:07] if it doesn't support 32bit [08:07] sorry Kartagis [08:07] dfaaaaa: its not the 32bit app that caused the problem (i have 32bit apps on my 64bit system.. no prob at all) [08:07] KM0201, i recently installed nvidia 304 i believe [08:07] he installed 32bit ARCHITECTURE [08:07] dfaaaaa: it does support 32bit - just not in the way the user wanted it to [08:07] KM0201, it was done automatically [08:07] dfaaaaa: again - please stop making comments you do'nt understand [08:08] BillyZane: well, i'd say thats wher eyou need to start [08:08] i wish OMV's channel was this lively... lol [08:08] does someone use bacula?

[08:30] no [08:30] Daughain: webos isnt supported here [08:30] boot is just stalling whenever i try to boot from usb flash [08:30] Daughain: better ask webos support for webos related questions. to find the channels use alis [08:30] Darkyyy is the iso ok, did you md5 check it? [08:30] tried the flash drive using vmware player and it does work [08:30] Darkyyy: then you can either grab a cd drive from another PC, or pull out the drive and put it in an OK system, install it then transfer it back to the system [08:30] ActionParsnip, I k now, I saw the post on jpilot, which was for the old palm OS, so I asked. [08:30] Darkyyy: or setup a PXE server [08:31] KyouReeUs4nfo, thanks for all of the help, but i need to go to sleep now [08:31] to the person that sent me to hackourlife...I like what this offers but Iḿ unsure itś what i am looking for [08:31] if you have any other ideas, could you PM them?

[08:32] Darkyyy: wubi installs ubuntu, it's a container for ubuntu (paraphrasing) [08:32] Darkyyy don't, wubi is not a real installation [08:32] i know [08:32] but maybe after i install wubi maybe i can turn it into a full installation [08:33] like installing it thru it [08:33] Darkyyy: no [08:33] Darkyyy: not really very easy [08:33] that is not possible [08:33] Darkyyy: Not worth trying... === atrius_ is now known as atrius [08:33] actually i'm PC tech but i'm too lazy to replace the dvd rom lol [08:33] does someone use rsnapshot?

[08:35] lwfinger.com is unreachable.... what can I do? [08:35] Darkyyy: try the bios settings and try another usb port [08:35] in this channel I mean (ubottu) [08:35] i want ubuntu 64 fully installed just cant get to it [08:35] Darkyyy: http://download.plop.at/files/bootmngr/plpbt-5.0.14.zip - run "install_to_bootmenu.bat" (or something) as administrator, load it, then it'll let you boot from USB [08:36] theadmin: I'm going to remember that one, seems useful [08:36] blazemore: Some call it a "BIOS extender", lets you boot from any partition/drive quite easily, or chainload another bootloader [08:36] Darkyyy, there is also the option of network install, although I never tried it myself :P [08:37] i have plop [08:38] varunendra: Well, network install would still need a CD/USB to boot that from [08:38] varunendra: (or maybe PXE-boot but that's overly complicated, would need a second machine too) [08:38] any idea for firmware-b43-installer failing contacting lwfinger.com? [08:39] Oh Gods :D :D [08:39] theadmin, the netboot intro says - "if you have an old machine with a non-bootable CD-ROM..." [08:39] varunendra: heh, good point I guess -- you'd still need a second one to load that image from. [08:40] but yeah, getting a cd/dvd is much better & easier :D [08:40] ok, it works now :-) [08:41] stefano: Must have just been a small intermittent network problem on your end, or that site [08:42] theadmin, do you know that slax iso has ready to use pxe mode? I wonder if the image can be replaced in it to take advantage of it. :) [08:43] varunendra: Ubuntu provides a mini.iso which will run the netinstaller, too... But you still need to burn the ISO somewhere :/ [08:43] :P [08:44] irc is actually ABC [08:45] All Brains Connected :D [08:45] Darkyyy, sometimes I feel A-Z ;) [08:45] okay, p,q or something, not Z [08:46] i feel like ZZzzzzZZZzzz...

I built the VPN server off of a RHEL box, and I have successful connects from an Android tablet, MacOSX and Fedora [08:54] Only 13.04 is giving me problems and I read somewhere that its possible that IPSec isnt in the kernel anymore [08:54] shinao1: try a Precise liveCD to test [08:54] Ubuntu kernel that is [08:54] Unfortunately once I upgrade I dont go back [08:54] :) [08:55] shinao1: reread what I wrote....liveCD...? [08:55] I read it clearly [08:55] I guess I'll be switching to Fedora then... a pity [08:56] I really like ubuntu [08:56] shinao1: so if you test the live CD, needing no sort of 'going back', if it works there then it is a bug [08:56] I dont have the kit, and I live in a bandwidth poor area. [08:56] shinao1, torrent ... [08:56] Have to go and find it [08:56] shinao1: not got an old CD around, or a pal with one or more bandwidth [08:57] off of someone else's connection [08:57] shinao1: could use an SSH tunnel instead :) [08:57] Yeah I have PCI-DSS exceptions with that [09:01] damn, you guys recommended midori for LXDE, but so many webpages render wrong in it...

[09:32] Nothing [09:33] Ignored [09:33] Nah [09:33] I said wrong thing [09:33] nweb546786754: sudo fdisk -l will show you your partitions and df -h will show if your home is on a separate partition [09:33] GameMasterSahil: your uname -a states x86_64 which means it is a 64bit kernel [09:33] lol, I found the problem -- the keyboard is fucked [09:33] !language | bordism [09:33] bordism: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [09:33] Lol [09:33] works using an external keyboard [09:33] ActionParsnip [09:33] GameMasterSahil: your file command outputted 'ELF 32-bit' so is 32bit [09:34] It is [09:34] So how I can run it [09:34] ok later girls [09:34] run what? [09:34] GameMasterSahil: you can't, your kernel is 64bit [09:34] GameMasterSahil: to run it you need a 32bit server OS [09:35] Hmm [09:35] Ok [09:35] But will it run succesfully in it [09:35] GameMasterSahil: "lsb_release -sc" output? [09:35] GameMasterSahil: no idea, but its what it needs [09:35] lucid [09:35] precise [09:36] lsb_release -sc it's output is 'lucid' [09:36] GameMasterSahil: no multiarch then, ia32libs maybe [09:36] GameMasterSahil: install 32bit Precise and install the app, it will work [09:37] Ok, let me try === troy_ is now known as Guest59605 [09:39] "you need 32-bit os" ... is this for real or trolling? [09:39] KyouReeUs4nfo: http://pastebin.com/AaCmiZH7 -- here is the output - I dont know what it means though :/ === sam_ is now known as sam323 [09:40] real [09:40] nweb546786754: As you were told earlier, Mint is not supported in this channel [09:40] hi im trying to get imagewriter under ubuntu to work, it keeps asking for my password i put it in and it says wrong password [09:41] GameMasterSahil: you need 32-bit libs, not a 32-bit os. 32-bit programs can run just fine on 64-bit os. No need to reinstall your server... [09:42] sam113101, r u logged in with a user that is in sudo list? [09:42] So how I can change to 32-bit libs? [09:42] the file not found is most likely a library it wants to include which isn't installed [09:42] see which libs the program needs with: ldd filename [09:42] no idea [09:43] what is the best way to learn "Linux Shell" [09:43] SDIS, see "linux from scratch" [09:43] sam323, but u got ur root password? [09:43] DJones: right, I know [09:44] yes [09:44] hm then try to run from terminal [09:44] su [09:44] SDIS: just use it and learn what you need [09:44] enter root pw [09:45] then start imagewriter in terminal [09:45] what do i type in terminal [09:45] su [09:45] ok [09:45] !sudo | sam323 zipy [09:45] sam323 zipy: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [09:45] !root [09:45] zipy: there is no root password in ubuntu, use: sudo -i [09:45] 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 [09:45] Micks: Wait a second MickS I am restarting my system. [09:45] he tried already [09:45] i think the guy askes for pw of the active user who is not in sudo list [09:45] guy = gui lol [09:46] sam@sam-System-Product-Name:~$ su [09:46] Password: [09:46] su: Authentication failure [09:46] grin @ root explanation ;-) [09:46] zipy: then he's going to need to su to a user who can, then run: sudo -i [09:46] to change to root is not the ubuntu way. [09:46] sam323: there is no root password, what zipy is advising wont work [09:46] ok [09:46] sam323: If you're dead-set on opening a root shell you can do "sudo -s" [09:47] thats the same ^^ [09:47] root@sam-System-Product-Name:~# [09:47] sam323: why is your user not in the sudoers list? [09:47] no idea [09:47] ye [09:47] are you the admin? [09:47] yeah [09:47] is this a server? [09:47] no desktop [09:47] so what did you do there? [09:47] how do i run the imagewriter program now im root? [09:47] now start imagewriter [09:47] sudo -i is advised as the user's profile is still in use, -s uses root's [09:48] why would you ever run programs as root? [09:48] nweb456786754: I would recommend backing up your data if you could by running sudo ecryptfs-recover-private (which will search and mount your private home directory provided you still remember your login passphrase) and then try a reinstall or continue using USB and remount your home and make it writable (sudo mount -o remount,rw location-of-your-home-in-tmp) [09:48] k1l: ps -ef | grep root lots do [09:49] ActionParsnip: i meant gui programs, and this was a rethorical question [09:49] augh [09:49] a desktop user should ne be in contact with "getting root" so there was something other wrong on his system [09:49] k1l: copying files to /var/www run nautilus as root for access is one I can think of [09:49] k1l: editting config files in /etc like smb.conf [09:50] like: why does he have a user that is not in sudoers list [09:50] ActionParsnip: /var/www on a desktop? [09:50] k1l: sure, why not...? [09:51] ActionParsnip: i see your point, but again: there is something other wrong with his system. that should be solved [09:52] why would I be getting "Couldn't upload the file, check your internet connection" when I drag and drop an image to "Drop to share" on 13.04? [09:52] k1l: if users like to edit in GUI aps like gedit, they should have that freedom, and they do [09:53] ActionParsnip: "do everything as root" is not the ubuntu way. so advising this points leads into the wrong direction, imho === nighix is now known as keyhive [09:53] yeah, and if people want to run 32-bit programs they need to be able to reinstall the server on 32-bits too! [09:53] Micks: Here is the output of ldd filename: not a dynamic executable [09:54] GameMasterSahil: file filename said it was dynamic with shared libs... are you talking about the same file? [09:54] Micks: Yes [09:54] k1l: but sometimes its needed, especially for files owned by root:root [09:55] Micks: Output of File Filename: [09:55] VCMPServer: ELF 32-bit LSB executable, Intel 80386, version 1 (SYSV), for GNU/Linux 2.6.8, dynamically linked (uses shared libs), stripped [09:55] i broke ubuntu [09:56] lol [09:56] !details|The-Dark-Master, [09:56] The-Dark-Master,: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [09:56] ActionParsnip: i know, but the problem from that user is that he is not in the sudoers list. the others is just a symptome. [09:56] login info was unavailable [09:56] k1l: oh yes that trumps everything :) [09:56] GameMasterSahil: see, it does say 'dynamically linked (uses shared libs)'. So ldd VCMPServer should give something back [09:57] Micks: Yes but's its giving nothing just a error [09:57] Micks: Huh, I am very much confused with this matter [09:57] and i only had it installed a couple hours [09:58] The-Dark-Master: can you logon as guest? [09:58] yes but it crashes [09:58] The-Dark-Master: can you boot an older kernel? [09:59] ? [09:59] The-Dark-Master: hold shift at boot, select an older kernel [09:59] it ran fine till i activated auto logon [10:00] Micks: So any idea MickS? === wojciech_ is now known as wojciech [10:00] GameMasterSahil: install the 32-bit libraries and see if it will fire up with that [10:00] the package is called ia32-libs [10:01] me? [10:01] Micks: May I get the link of the package? [10:01] Direct link [10:01] Hey guys [10:01] sudo apt-get install ia32-libs [10:01] I'm having external-monitor issues :P [10:01] Ah, thanks MickS [10:02] Anyway: Im on a Lenovo ThinkPad T530 @ ubuntu 12.10. My external monitor works fine over VGA, but thats blurry. So i have this cable: Mini DP -> DP -> Into my monitor [10:02] Now, all i can see is the "Ubuntu" logo, as if my laptop is booting [10:03] In the system > displays however, is only my laptop screen. Not the external one. [10:03] The-Dark-Master: if you get to the login screen and hit CTRL+ALT+F1 you can login there and edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf You will need to comment out the 'autologin-user' line, like here http://askubuntu.com/questions/106428/how-to-disable-automatic-login [10:03] How can i make this work? What could be wrong? [10:03] yeah, that lost me [10:03] The-Dark-Master: you can edit it with nano which is a CLI text editor [10:03] wordpad? [10:04] The-Dark-Master: pressing CTRL_ALT+F1 lost you? [10:04] the other stuff did [10:04] The-Dark-Master: then run: sudo nano /etc/lightdm/lightdm.conf and make the changes, press CTRL+X, Press Y, Press ENTER [10:04] The-Dark-Master: then run: sudo reboot [10:04] ok [10:05] hm [10:05] yep, no boot [10:05] oh krap [10:05] The-Dark-Master: then hold SHIFT at boot, select recovery mode and select root, you can make the changes there === The-Dark-Master is now known as The-Dark-Master- [10:06] damn char limit [10:06] im using a PSP here so [10:06] is it possible to install ubuntu without the unity for example to have it just with openbox? [10:06] Newb101: sure, I do that [10:06] Newb101: install ubuntu minimal then install openbox [10:06] Newb101: or install xubuntu and install openbox [10:07] <3 openbox [10:07] nice [10:07] i dont think my acer likes ubuntu [10:07] The-Dark-Master-, what are the specs? [10:08] i give, im trying lubuntu [10:08] The-Dark-Master-: its a simple text file edit [10:08] 1.6GHZ amd and 4 GB ram [10:08] !lubuntu | Newb101 [10:08] Newb101: lubuntu is Ubuntu with LXDE instead of !GNOME as desktop environment, which makes it extremely lightweight. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu - /join #lubuntu for lubuntu support. [10:08] The-Dark-Master- I have a 4 year old acer (without hdmi :( ), works like a charm [10:08] The-Dark-Master-, or xubuntu ... both are optimized for older/lower spec machines ... [10:08] nice [10:09] un commento: LXDE non è "estremamente" più leggera di GNOME, almeno non gnome-session-fallback (i.e. classic / gnome-2 / etc) [10:09] ho misurato.. non è "estremamente" [10:09] !es|maroloccio, [10:09] maroloccio,: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [10:09] sorry guys [10:09] * cfhowlett_ ... or is that Italian? [10:09] I have 12.04 on a T60, no issues here. [10:10] !it|maroloccio [10:10] maroloccio, please see my private message [10:10] this is a $20 acer, she had issues [10:10] I have a single core sempron 1.6Ghz w/ 2Gb RAM and nvidia 6150 onboard, works great [10:10] The-Dark-Master-, well, hey if you paid only $20 for her, you did good [10:10] say for example ubuntu minimal vs arch linux are the architectures the same [10:10] i gotta upgrade my cpu [10:11] ubuntu is .deb [10:11] she needed a new screen [10:11] i need a 64 bit os [10:12] The-Dark-Master-: why do you need 64bit OS? [10:12] The-Dark-Master-: is the CPU 64bit capable? === yebyen is now known as Guest34729 [10:12] she runs like shit on a 32bit [10:12] she came with 64 bit factory [10:12] The-Dark-Master-: 64bit isn't outright faster [10:12] but i have access to all my ram [10:13] not 2 out of 4 gb [10:13] Newb101: the install method is similar in the minimal [10:13] i just wanted to say that it does not seem to me that lxde is "extremely" more lightweight [10:13] The-Dark-Master-: ubuntu uses PAE kernels, which use all the ram, too [10:13] The-Dark-Master-: the kernel is PAE, so can access up to 64Gb RAM [10:13] How do I remove a folder via SSH from an external HD? "sudo rm -rf" gives me "can't remove, folder is not empty." If I try to access the folder, it gives me a input/output error. [10:13] i measured Vs gnome-session-fallback and, to be honest, it's "more lw".. but not "extremely so". [10:13] TopGear: is the file system read only? [10:14] The-Dark-Master-: basically, your 'need' doesn't seem very justified [10:14] maroloccio: some urban legends never die [10:14] ActionParsnip: I don't believe so. I'll test it. [10:14] i need to upgrade the 32 bit windows that was put on here [10:14] TopGear: the 'mount' command will tell you [10:14] ActionParsnip: Nope, r/w. [10:14] llutz: seriously.. one has to measure. it is def. "more" lw.. mind you.. but gnome "2" is pretty tight too.. [10:14] The-Dark-Master-: ask in ##windows for windows support [10:15] eh, im losing windows [10:15] too much to upgrade to 64bit [10:15] thats why im going linux [10:16] maroloccio: gnome2 is not available anymore. an please put the comparison talks into the offtopic while we need this channel for support issues. thanks [10:16] Hiyas all [10:16] The-Dark-Master-: did you boot to root recovery to edit the file I said...? [10:16] hi BluesKaj [10:16] i couldnt [10:16] hi ActionParsnip [10:17] ubunto wasnt in boot list [10:17] The-Dark-Master-: hold SHIFT at boot, from the time the system starts to power up, you will see grub [10:17] like i said, i broke it [10:17] The-Dark-Master-: then you can either chroot from liveCD and repair, or reinstall [10:17] lubunto is almost done anyways [10:18] The-Dark-Master-: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2011/09/live-usb-sticking-grub-2-video [10:18] i used the windows installer though [10:18] The-Dark-Master-: ohhhhhhhhh, thats always hell [10:18] i have no flash [10:18] The-Dark-Master-, details matter ... === matthew is now known as Guest64768 [10:18] * cfhowlett ... wonders why wubi yet lives on [10:18] i thought that didnt [10:18] The-Dark-Master-: i'd boot to WIndows, uninstall Wubi and then make an install CD. Resize your NTFS and install Ubuntnu to the freed space# [10:19] cfhowlett: no idea, its garbage [10:19] my dvd drive wont burn [10:19] Whats wubi? [10:19] its like gen 1 sata [10:19] ActionParsnip, I think wubi has turned more users off from ubuntu than it ever brought in ... [10:19] Daughain: a cheap hack to make a disk file in the NTFS of windows, install ubuntu to it and use it like a dual boot. [10:20] Daughain: its super fragile and hard to fix if it goes wrong. [10:20] augh, damn wubi [10:20] ActionParsnip, except it breaks frequently, messily and unpredictably [10:20] cfhowlett: plus directly affected by fragmentation in Windows [10:20] error right as it finished [10:21] Oi. [10:21] ActionParsnip, better "testing" environment in virtualbox ... [10:21] The-Dark-Master-: boot windows, remove wubi as you would any other app then make a bootable USB stick and install a real OS [10:21] Daughain: its crap and should be canned [10:21] hi all [10:21] Eildor, greeting [10:21] s [10:21] umm, will a PSP work? [10:22] ActionParsnip, If it runs in windows, I agree with you. just partition from an install disk, if you need windows. [10:22] hi [10:22] how's everyone doing [10:22] I would like to know, where can I get ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso? [10:22] Eildor, Cursing wubi. =) [10:22] tried googling it?

It will work fine. [10:25] eoin_: if you need 64bit use the amd64 version [10:25] I downloaded and installed 1204, but now after reboot it won't boot [10:25] thought it was the amd part [10:25] what's the likely issue here??

[10:50] When you start up your computer, there should be text somewhere on the screen that says something like DEL = Setup or F12 = STARTUP [10:50] I prefear YUMI [10:50] http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ [10:50] boot order f-12 [10:51] alright that's what you want when you get your USB working then [10:51] so will i have to use my PSP or ipod? [10:51] my lappy's bluetooth device neither searches other bluetooth device nor other bluetooth devices can search it...need help pls? [10:51] i would like to create a scope for unity is there tutorial or something for this, where could i find it [10:51] The-Dark-Master: Use a USB flash drive [10:51] I think you need a USB storage device/thumb drive [10:52] i dont have one big enough [10:52] just a 512mb [10:52] Are there netinstall ubuntu images? [10:52] The-Dark-Master: Not much we can do to help you, then... [10:52] minimal iso [10:52] The-Dark-Master: Do you have a blank DVD you can use? [10:52] !minimal [10:52] riskii: Yes. [10:52] The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [10:52] my drive wont burn [10:52] The-Dark-Master try Amazon, they sell USB flash drives [10:52] The-Dark-Master: or just use the minimal iso [10:53] hello [10:53] or use my psp as flash [10:53] pls help ..... bluetooth isnt working on ubuntu 13.04 [10:53] i already do so [10:53] riskii: Have you had a look at this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity/Lenses There's a link in the page about creating lenses [10:53] Guest97085: What's your laptop?

Also, does wireless Internet work? [10:56] wireless also not working [10:57] To install ubuntu restricted extras, it said I have to remove some codec. but I didn't do it.

[11:38] ActionParsnip, Agreed that the Bonobo is good, hardware-wise, even the display seems good, but it's too large [11:38] well that makes sense who wants to get sued [11:38] hey everyone, just a quick question about adobe flash in ubuntu if anyone could pm and help me.. running into big trouble [11:39] JJ_: ask in the channel [11:39] I already got winFF little bro recomended it [11:39] It's called mediatomb. It's a little tool that sets up a UPnP server with a nice little web UI. The problem is that it starts up by default (as root!) when I boot into my system. [11:39] ok sure [11:39] I really don't want it to do that. [11:39] lenz: i use plex [11:39] HankMccoy, have you installed ubuntu-restricted-extras? [11:40] nope got a sudo cmd? [11:40] Xeno-Genesis: if you search amazon, you will see people's reviews if they ran Ubuntu on it [11:40] ActionParsnip, that is propiretary [11:40] lenz: so? [11:40] sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras :P [11:40] HankMccoy, yeah , sudo apt-get install ubuntu-restricted-extras [11:40] ActionParsnip, I'd have to play for all features [11:40] I'm not doing that [11:40] ActionParsnip installed b43 firmware wt nw? [11:41] ActionParsnip: I have install adobe flash and everything, but streaming up videos to ubuntu by record isn't working, and other sites that require flash to stream video as well seem to just come up saying it cannot find the camera etc. But cheese works etc, could it be flash itself blocking these sites somehow? [11:41] after editing fstab, what should I restart for the change to be loaded [11:41] ?

Isn't there a file called init or something where all the autostart applications are put?

[11:44] and what is this configuring ttf-mscorefonts-installer? [11:44] microsoft fonts [11:45] so it is done just close it? [11:45] when its done, click close [11:45] if ur cmdline is ready ye [11:45] HankMccoy: The ttf fonts are Windows fonts, you have to accept a license to install those, you should be able to click accept on the licence to continue [11:45] HankMccoy: use TAB and ENTER to accept the license [11:45] oh thats right.. [11:45] does anyone else have a problem with kdenlive taking FOREVER to render videos? [11:46] I'm seriously thinking of dumping Linux. I have business I need to do.

I do code. [11:46] antonio_, go ahead [11:46] tab enter worked [11:46] antonio_: i've used it for 8yrs.. i'd say "just works" describes it perfectly [11:47] HankMccoy: ;) [11:47] antonio_: then don't use it, you have that freedom [11:48] What is Pre-compiled binaries (static) ? [11:48] the beauty of choice i guess. [11:49] KM0201: indeed, tool for the job :) [11:49] bipul it kind of depends on the context [11:50] pre-compiled binaries are just executables that are already ready to go and be run [11:50] as for static I have no idea, which is why it depends on context [11:50] riskii, I don't find ./configu file inside that file [11:50] and the earlier link well I already have VLC I was talking about using winFF to convert stuff like xvid format to mpg and it will not play on most devices [11:50] damnit!

[11:56] i'm using dual boot btw [11:56] Windows 7. [11:56] tirtasullivan: does the system have a make and model? [11:57] you meant the laptop model? [11:57] tirtasullivan: yes [11:57] tirtasullivan: what else [11:57] km0201: I shouldn't have to change programs. I really #$%$ing hate when a program works..then decides not to work [11:57] Ehh, Axioo Neon HNM [11:57] They released it last year. [11:57] antonio_: well, i doubt it "decided" not to work.. it's software and therefore cannot think on its own [11:57] I really don't want to go back to windows, but I also need an operating system that will work...where I dont have to always deal with broken packages [11:57] it was just a suggestion [11:58] I realize that..sorry..super frustrated [11:58] my older laptop is the same Axioo but i've been using that laptop almost for 3 years and it's still okey . [11:58] antonio_: what version of ubuntu are you using?.. i've not dealt w/ broken packages in... years. [11:58] can't even remember... [11:58] 12.10 I think [11:58] tirtasullivan: if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see an intel and an nvidia gpu, or just intel? [11:59] hold on. [11:59] tirtasullivan: the other system is different, so will act differently [12:00] this is freaking ridiculous! [12:01] antonio_, lsb_release -a , will give your ubuntu version [12:01] 10.10 [12:01] whoops [12:01] lmao [12:01] 12.10 [12:01] well, you redeemed yourself [12:02] did you recently update kdenlive? [12:02] nope [12:02] and there are no updates [12:02] well, something changed obviously. [12:02] in the past year I've had nothing but troubles with linux..

[12:05] antonio_: use te web, it will tell you [12:06] GorDon GeCkO [12:09] km0201: I don't get this. About 5 minutes before I was having an issue with this it would render files no problem.

[12:29] autocad is hard to replace [12:30] yes it is [12:30] maybe x5seb9x wants only linux servers?

I need 10+ users to be able to connect at once [12:43] mastaba: AFAIK Samba just does that out of the box... [12:45] blazemore: doesn't seem to be my experience. I've tried both ubuntu server 12.10 and now 13, but they both do the same thing. Perhaps I need to set up a user for each computer connection [12:45] it works flawlessly with only one person connecting though [12:46] I know it is a mircosoft issue, unfortunately everyone here is running Adobe creative suite and/or filemaker [12:47] x5seb9x, so question remain open, do you have replacement tools for your desktops?

[12:57] How to extract .7z file. [12:57] mastaba who knows [12:57] <_droid> hi, I work with tryton on unbutu and I noticed that the package is becomming old. The current version of tryton is 2.8, ubiuntu has 2.2.1 in it's repositories [12:57] Squarepy, Thanks for the idea. Live cd fixed the issue. [12:58] <_droid> and i wanted to know who can I talk to about updating the package [12:58] ok ha Daughain_ [12:58] auronandace: check at 1:44 you find the icons of PowerPoint and Excel [12:59] x5seb9x, I think you better keep windows (I assume you are the it) [12:59] ok [12:59] willybilly0101: don't you think we could use some of our computers with Ubuntu? [12:59] x5seb9x: icons mean nothing, i didn't see them run the program [13:00] because if you don't understand perfectly what happens, what are your available tools for replacement and how to implement it, being in a production envirnoment you will BEEP things up [13:00] x5seb9x: you could use ubuntu but i get the distinct feeling you'll run into many problems with such a windows centric environment [13:00] x5seb9x, I think you could educate yourself a bit and make a informed choice [13:01] I think the best is that we just install Ubuntu on a unused computer as a test and to run a "hands-on" feasibility test [13:02] x5seb9x, what about servers? [13:02] then we agree [13:03] willybilly0101: from what I hear from all of you it seems too complicated to study the feasibility of replacing our infrastructure. I guess I would keep the windows servers and just try first on the user side with one computer connecting to the active directory server? [13:03] it's not complicated to study [13:04] how can I figure out whats wrong with kdenlive [13:04] first you need to study [13:04] ! lib-bav [13:04] Its taking FOREVER to render short clips [13:04] antonio_, just ask him [13:04] antonio_: best to ask kdenlive developers [13:04] does anyone know is it possible to copy stuff from the GUI menu and paste stuff in the tty? [13:04] (don't think this one has a limit) simple python server (can be killed with Ctrl+C) --> http://www.linuxjournal.com/content/tech-tip-really-simple-http-server-python [13:05] !libav-tools [13:07] I need some help setting up an Upstart script? (stanza?) [13:08] For someone reason when I add a Stanza conf to /etc/init/ to startup an application it does not run [13:08] if I run it manually via "start appName" it does run fine [13:08] auronandace: in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gRoYlgOC9z0 they talk about a "windows 7 server". Do you have any idea how they run the office pack that way? And do you think that [13:08] auronandace: would be a good replacement/ [13:09] start on filesystem or runlevel [2345] [13:09] stop on runlevel [06] [13:09] That is what is in it and I am on Ubuntu 12.04 I believe [13:11] does bzr have the equivalent of git bare repository support [13:13] guys, I kicked myself out of my own house :| [13:13] x5seb9x: that makes more sense, they are running a cloud server and the application is on the server and ubuntu is just being used as a thin client to access it [13:13] lost permission to practically everything [13:13] what do I do? [13:13] sudo chmod -u+4 / [13:13] that's what I did [13:13] Hello i can i install libav file in my ubuntu to conver .yuv file into .m4v [13:13] hellopat, How i can i install libav file in my ubuntu to conver .yuv file into .m4v [13:13] razzledazzle: use live USB to undo it [13:15] auronandace: so basically best in our case to have a windows cloud or local server and connect to it with our Ubuntu clients but basically also meaning we have to have a good bandwidth right? [13:15] hello, ijust fixed my ubuntu burg, now i wana merge a unallocated partition, now i need hlep using gparted, i have try anything, i can't, need future help, thx [13:15] razzledazzle: or use recovery, drop as root to undo it [13:15] Still no one who can help me out with vsftpd? [13:15] Hi - need help or pointers big time. Somebody installed Webmin/Virtualmin on server and since then postfix no longer accepts any connection. [13:18] x5seb9x: i can't really say whats best for your setup but i can tell you there will very likely be issues due to the programs your using [13:18] ok [13:19] thanks! [13:19] Hey Guys, I'm having external-monitor issues [13:19] Im on a Lenovo ThinkPad T530 @ ubuntu 12.10. My external monitor works fine over VGA, but thats blurry. So i have this cable: Mini DP -> DP -> Into my monitor [13:19] Now, all i can see is the "Ubuntu" logo, as if my laptop is booting [13:19] In the system > displays however, is only my laptop screen. Not the external one. [13:19] How can i make this work? What could be wrong? [13:19] MrQuist: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:19] sry FloodBot1 i type fast ;) [13:20] please how do i install Dev C++ in ubuntu [13:20] tking -> download it and install it [13:21] MrQuist, i cant find the Ubuntu version [13:21] so what are the reasons ubuntu ships with a dnsmasq right now? [13:22] then i hope there is one for you tking [13:22] .... [13:22] tking, depends what C++ dev field you want [13:22] tking, http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/devcpp.html [13:22] i suppose that "Requirements [13:22] [13:22] Windows 95 or higher" [13:22] MrQuist: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [13:22] means that its for windows. [13:23] Damn you floodbot. [13:23] damn, that floodbot really sucks. [13:23] tking > Ctrl + alt + F2 then type lsb_release -a [13:23] MrQuist: Seriously, stop using Enter as punctuation, and you won't have this problem. [13:23] tking, replace CTRL+ALT+F2 with CTRL+SHIFT+T [13:23] adamk, i'm sorry, i pasted something wrong. [13:24] MrQuist, then stop using the enter key for each phrase [13:24] you are in a linux channel. people there use the command line. they write things. quickly. and it's good that they do that. [13:24] Hi all :) anyone familiar with Postfix? [13:25] armin: There's a difference between writing things quickly, and flooding the channel by using the enter key over and over when a simple comma or period will do. [13:25] I never use enter for punctuation. Why would i. Also, is there someone that can help me with my monitor problem? Hello? Someone? .... I'd like some help with my monitor problems.. I suppose its the videocard drivers or something. Its weird tho, since i _do_ get a simple ubuntu logo when i plug my monitor in. Hello? [13:26] adamk: sure is, and i vote for not using enter as punctuation as well, but forcing a way of speech (by a bot) on humans is just completely wrong. [13:27] adamk: and i'm writing irc bots myself. [13:27] ufw tells me port 21 is allowed, but telnet localhost @ that port is refused, why is that? [13:28] you have nothing there [13:28] I wish I could just use the enter key :( @armin -> indeed. Also, the only reason that i made that triple-line post, was because i accidentaly pasted a 0x13.. But erm, is there someone that could help me out? @armin, oh cool, what kind of bots? @sindri, is there a firewall / service running there? [13:28] adamk: apart from that, i aggregate thoughts while i type, and using the enter key terminates a line of thoughts for me, mentally. people think in a very different way, and while it's ok to tell them to not flood that way and reconsider their way of thinking while they communicate, it's pretty bad to force your way of thinking on others. [13:28] I was hoping my ftp (vsftpd) service ran there, any quick way to check? [13:29] armin: they won't change the floodbots, thats the way it is, just accept the channel guidelines and move on [13:29] adamk: MrQuist is just using a pretty awkward workaround to not get punished by the bot right now as you can see, as he tries to be kind and communicate in a way that is fine with everyone here. that's a very friendly thing, and it destroys the separation of thoughts in his speech. [13:30] Hello why i am getting this error http://pastebin.com/Etgakg90 [13:30] @sindri: lantup -pa | grep *processname* [13:30] netstat* sorry [13:30] netstat -pa | grep *application* [13:30] auronandace: i'm not trying to change that. i'm just saying it's wrong and they should feel ashamed for trying to force this by bots. [13:30] no one is chatting in #kdenlive... [13:30] armin, that's what sentences are for separated by periods :) [13:31] I think the problem is with melt...its showing that its taking 114% of the CPU is system monitor...what can I do? [13:31] BluesKaj: and that's just what i do. but in technical speech that's just sometimes not possible, especially when using multiline pastes, which again is not a problem at all if you don't use more than, say, 3 lines or so. [13:31] Why is the Minitube applicaiton in software center licensed as proprietary software if its licensed under LGPL :S [13:31] armin: before the bot, the rule still existed. It just meant human beings had to be bothered to send the factoid to people. The rule helps with channel readability. Let's move on [13:31] @ sindri -> this might work better: netstat -tulpn |grep :21 [13:32] MrQuist : thanks, it returns nothing so I guess I know where my problem is atleast [13:32] sindri , sorry, once again - you have to try "netstat -tulpn |grep 21" [13:32] that should show a service on port 21 [13:32] or not. [13:32] jrib: again, i'm writing bots myself, but i never write any that do harm to people. but yes, let's move on on that one. [13:32] sindri: iptables -nvL may tell you more about it. (If I may say this, ufw is not the actual firewall) [13:33] MrQuist: irc-bots of any kind, mostly simple ones in python that perform specific tasks. right now a twitter bot that aggregates tweets, tweets itself, etc. [13:33] "harm to people"... Wow... Never thought I'd hear anyone suggest FloodBoot was actually harming people. [13:33] KyoReeUs4nfo : hehe I know ufw isn't the real thing but is was more noob friendly; haven't really gotten the hang of iptables, and using fail2ban so it's HUGE [13:34] sweet :) @ adamk -> actually floodbot is flooding this channel.... I posted 3 lines. Floodbot then added 3 (+1 private). Then added 3 more. [13:35] MrQuist: i fully agree with you. [13:36] Hi guys, I have intalled new font and can see it from Libreoffice writer, but does not see it in my terminal. [13:36] Plus, there's 3 of them. [13:36] even worse would be kicking "flooders", at least it doesn't do that. [13:36] heheh +q can be even more annoying [13:37] armin: it can kick repeating flooders [13:37] hi, i Cant open dash home , what should I do to repair that? [13:41] hi, i Cant open dash home , what should I do to repair that? [13:43] Is there any utility at all left for adding music to an ipod/phone/etc running ios 6 anymore? [13:44] yes. Destroy iOS and install Linux on it [13:44] MrQuist, um... linux doesn't install on an iDevice... [13:44] lol [13:44] hahah [13:45] dellos: which release? [13:45] the whole main code of iOS / OSX = unix [13:45] Hi, what package provides gio/gio.h? [13:45] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m1rroUS_0g [13:45] MrQuist, and I'm looking for Ubuntu support, thanks === keyhive is now known as nighix [13:48] hi [13:48] sindri: any port-rule outbound or inbound added in iptables will be caught as open/filtered by localhost depending on the rule. For instance when 21--outbound--connection is dropped, telnet will keep trying to connect to it without any success... === Mark_ is now known as x6d61726b [13:48] sindri: nmap localhost to find out which ports are open/filtered [13:50] sindri: pgrep ftp to find process ID of running ftp server [13:50] testing [13:52] need some help with dash home error [13:52] it not work now [13:52] DICKS! [13:52] Interesting welcome. [13:53] MrQuist, if you want some of those, youre better off going to a bar === fbi_ is now known as Caplain [14:00] Hi where can I get help with MAAS? === Multiply is now known as multiply [14:02] how do i know what users i have on the system ? [14:03] cat /etc/passwd [14:03] Quick question (I haven't really surfed for this): I would like to share just music player so that I could access that and the local playlists on the iPhone. Something like terminal services in we-in-dow-s. How do I go about it? [14:03] smallhouse: users [14:04] KyouReeUs4nfo: i have only 2, but 3 home directories ? any ideas ? [14:04] I have a device (/dev/sdc1) that doesn't have a UUID in /dev/disk/by-uuid . What should I do? [14:04] smallmouse: /etc/passwd comes with some users with /home [14:05] KyouReeUs4nfo: 2 users - ubuntu and ubuntu but 3 home directories drup, sira, ubuntu. i thought i added the other 2 dont show up [14:05] anybody can create a home directory the user must not exist [14:05] KyouReeUs4nfo: yes more have come up [14:06] smallmouse: drup and sira ? did you create those? [14:06] KyouReeUs4nfo: yes [14:06] The disk shows up in /dev/disk/by-id as a USB drive... [14:06] smallmouse: all is well then, yes? [14:06] KyouReeUs4nfo: why dont they come uo ? [14:07] KyouReeUs4nfo: when i type in users, very misleading [14:07] KyouReeUs4nfo: i want to give them access to a particular directory and path but cant change permissions of the directory - is there a way to do this ? [14:07] KyouReeUs4nfo is this useful? it's not exactly the same issue, though http://www.sysadminshare.com/2011/12/change-uuid-of-cloned-disk-in-linux.html [14:08] smallmouse: users command will tell you which ones are using bash terminals actually and I think you wanted to find out total number of users so that would be in /etc/passwd. If the other two are not logged in, it won't show when you execute users. [14:09] smallmouse: grep \/bin\/bash /etc/passwd | wc -l [14:09] exactly [14:10] ActionParsnip: thank [14:10] to show the usernames: grep \/bin\/bash /etc/passwd | cut -f1 -d":" [14:10] KyouReeUs4nfo: thank you [14:11] would like to ask a question about usb drives formatting mounting etc. Would this be the place? [14:11] Crazyeagle: if its under Ubuntu, yes [14:11] Crazyeagle: YES!!! [14:11] ok [14:11] I have a device (/dev/sdc1) that doesn't have a UUID in /dev/disk/by-uuid . What should I do? [14:11] Crazyeagle: Can you help? [14:12] lmat: sudo blkid is not shwoing a UUID? [14:12] iceroot: It doesn't show anything! [14:12] lmat you too, this is a hint: uuidgen http://www.sysadminshare.com/2011/12/change-uuid-of-cloned-disk-in-linux.html [14:12] Installed 12.04lts and then inserted usb initially it read it but then ejected it from nautilus [14:13] Crazyeagle: Must be lukewarm... [14:13] then reinserted the usb again everything was gone lmat [14:13] Crazyeagle: whoa...that's worse than lukewarm...this is gnashing of teeth! [14:14] lmat: yes is frustrating then same thing happen to a 2nd usb so afraid of putting any other usb drv in! [14:14] MonkeyDust: Wow, that looks easy enough! But it still leaves me flabberghasted as to why the original UUID is gone. Oh welll [14:14] for sure! [14:14] Crazyeagle: & [14:14] Crazyeagle: ^ [14:14] lmat: got into gparted to format gparted won't list [14:14] Crazyeagle: You have another computer? [14:15] Crazyeagle, or do you have a cdrom ? [14:15] Crazyeagle: yeah, see what it does to your CDs ^_^ [14:15] How can i use iptables to redirect all http errors(404,403 etc) to a specific IP? [14:15] yes I do [14:16] i used gparted won't see the usb then though well winblows maybe can reformat it won't let me [14:16] using dd tels me there is no medium [14:16] Crazyeagle: it's called "windows" try to show a little bit of maturity and communicate the products correctly [14:16] AndreasEr: I don't think IPTables reads http ? [14:16] disk utility list this as sgf [14:17] sorry just kidding [14:17] Crazyeagle,is this a an attempt at installing from a usb or just trnsferring files to a dir on the computer ? [14:17] ikonia's comment reflects a different world-view than that previously popular in free operating systems... [14:18] smallmouse: can you do chmod 755 to those user's directories? [14:18] BluesKaj: no I wanted to write some files just simple use a usb [14:18] No longer are the free softwares apparently taking pop shots at the "big boys", we now treat them with respect; not as equals, but as inferiors. [14:18] lmat: well what you think [14:18] lmat: lsusb list the device but gparted won't see it [14:19] Crazyeagle: I think you should do a careful, documentable test. Use another computer, write a file to the usb, put it in linux, take it back to the other computer and verify that the file is gone. [14:19] Crazyeagle: did the usb devices work before some other event? [14:19] Crazyeagle: Could it be that the data aren't deleted, but simply not listed? [14:19] lmat , i dont know tbh. I have successfully redirected all trafic to a specific IP. But if the router isnt connected to the internet it doesent seams to work. Got any better idea how i can send basicly everything from the web(80/443) to an internal IP? [14:19] Crazyeagle: Are you using an old Dell? [14:20] lmat: the drive was being used on a venerable Windows 7 MS operating system [14:20] Crazyeagle, sudo fdisk -l , see if it's listed there [14:20] hola [14:20] AndreasEr: now, everything from the web is *very* different than all HTTP errors! Everything from the web is IP traffic, yes, this is very possible. [14:20] BluesKaj: no a optiplex 3010 [14:20] alguien q m exe una manita? [14:20] AndreasEr: No I don't know how. I'd have to experiment just like you ^_^ What's your setup? [14:20] Crazyeagle: venerable as opposed to winblows, or vulnerable? [14:21] samy no [14:21] lmat: not the file is gone the drive becomes inaccesible [14:21] Crazyeagle, what's an optiplex 3010? [14:21] Crazyeagle: oh, it's an optiplex? [14:21] a dell [14:21] !es | samy [14:21] samy: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [14:21] lmat, It's a router running tomato and a raspberry (webserver) that i want to redirect all traffic too [14:21] Crazyeagle: I have had great USB problems on my dell (not running linux, not on the internet, etc.) [14:21] AndreasEr: raspberry pi? [14:21] lmat, yes [14:21] so Crazyeagle , just run the command I posted in the terminal [14:21] BluesKaj: yes he ask a old dell answer no a new one optiplex 3010 [14:22] AndreasEr: You're wanting to multicast to both devices? [14:22] Crazyeagle: ahh new one...I would like to think that the USB subsystem is more stable now-a-days. [14:22] I already did and nothing [14:22] es q nadie contesta en ningun lado [14:22] jaja [14:22] y probe aqui [14:22] samy no [14:23] !es | samy [14:23] samy: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. [14:23] yeah, solo in engles!!! ^_^ [14:23] lmat, I want all trafic on port 80/443 + error messages to redirect to the raspberry pi webserver [14:23] it won't list with fdisk or df or other only lsusb will list and only disk utility will see it [14:23] but cannot format with disk utility [14:23] AndreasEr: All incoming traffic ? [14:24] it says Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdf: No medium found [14:24] AndreasEr: Are you configuring a router? [14:24] BluesKaj: this is what disk utility or dd will always say Error creating partition table: helper exited with exit code 1: cannot open /dev/sdf: No medium found [14:24] Crazyeagle: what about ls -al /dev/usb ? [14:25] AndreasEr: may be string module could do it, not sure [14:25] lmat , yes it's a router running tomato (linux) [14:25] lmat: ls -al /dev/usb [14:25] lmat: said ls: cannot access /dev/usb: No such file or directory [14:25] AndreasEr: then why are you asking in #ubuntu ? [14:26] AndreasEr: surly #netfilter would be the right place [14:26] Hi all. I am looking for help fixing my monitor resolution. After failing all the guides I have come here to ask what im doing wrong. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/Resolution is the main thread i am working from. For some reason xrandr --addmode isnt persistent. On reboot I get a crazy long error message taking up my whole screen. [14:26] ikonia, thanks. [14:27] lmat: i put this sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdf bs=1M and get this dd: opening `/dev/sdf': No medium found [14:27] AndreasEr: Ahh! I wasn't familiar with Tomato. [14:27] AndreasEr: gotcha [14:27] BluesKaj: any suggestions? [14:27] Crazyeagle: there is no disk [14:27] AndreasEr: I'd have to google it same as you. [14:27] Crazyeagle: it's not called sdf [14:28] it's that simple [14:28] but disk utility list like that? [14:28] Crazyeagle: Thank goodness you got no medium found! [14:28] Crazyeagle: I think you would break it if that succeeded, right? [14:28] Crazyeagle: ls -la /dev/sdf [14:28] Crazyeagle: should be something on the order of sdfx where x is a number [14:28] Crazyeagle: oh, no /dev/usb...so sorry [14:28] Crazyeagle: sudo fdisk -l will show the disk layouts [14:29] ikonia: ls -la /dev/sdf <- what I got [14:29] ikonia: was this brw-rw---- 1 root disk 8, 80 Jul 2 09:23 /dev/sdf [14:30] ikonia: from the cmd you suggested [14:30] Crazyeagle: what happens when you try fdisk /dev/sdf do you get an error message? [14:30] Crazyeagle: ok, so that's got a device file, [14:30] lmat: fdisk: unable to open /dev/sdf: No medium found [14:31] hang on [14:31] thi sisn't a cdrom is it it [14:31] is [14:31] no a usb it is a cruzer mini 512mb [14:31] put in different ports same thing [14:32] Crazyeagle do you have another computer you can try to verify that the usb drive still actually works? === kcristiano_ is now known as krist [14:32] aiten_44: I put this usb on a win7 machine comes up but says can't access [14:33] Crazyeagle: so what does that tell you..... [14:33] reason why I ask is flash memory can only be read to and written to so many times and being a 512mb flash drive leads me to believe its older and might not work any more [14:33] Crazyeagle: can't access in windows...can't access in ubuntu [14:34] well but intially worked on win7 then put on ubuntu, ejected it properly with nautilus and then stoppped working [14:34] ikonia: so then used a second usb and same thing happen [14:34] according to #ps -A | grep "ftp" I got 10 processes running, is this normal behavious running vsftpd? [14:35] ikonia: so how many usbs I have to break on my ubuntu install to figure that something wrong is going on? [14:36] ikonia: when I put them back on win 7 then also everything is gone, thankfully did not have anything important [14:36] Crazyeagle: can you remformat the usb stick in windows? If so try reformatting it as fat32 and then plugging it into your ubuntu comp see if it does it again [14:37] aiten_44: it won't let me [14:38] Crazyeagle: alright was worth a shot have you tried opening that drive using gparted? [14:38] aiten_44: windows sees it but then says insert a disk then try again! crazy because is a usb and it can see it [14:38] Hey, anyone had the issue where logrotate doesn't seem to be runing the postrotate scripts [14:39] but if you run it manually it does? [14:39] gparted won't see it but disk utility will [14:39] aiten_44: so not sure what that is all about [14:40] Crazyeagle: You said this was a sandisk crusier right? I do beleive that some of those actually mounted as a cdrom drive and automounted the actuall flash portion might be part of your prob [14:40] well is an old sandisk 512mb in windows it did not have a cdrom section [14:41] Im using ubuntu 13.04 and my update manager popped up with an update(which I dont mind) I am wondering why Kubuntu updates are starting to show for the KDE [14:41] aiten_44: I had used previously on win pc and formatted them now on my ubuntu 12 did this [14:42] Crazyeagle: alright give me a sec I'm going to see if I can find something on this I'll be back [14:42] ok [14:42] ty [14:46] btw if i do this: mkfs.ext3: No medium found while trying to determine filesystem size. I get this: /dev/sdf is entire device, not just one partition! Proceed anyway? (y,n) y then mkfs.ext3: No medium found while trying to determine filesystem size [14:46] Crazyeagle try partitioning it, first [14:46] he can't partition it as the disk is screwed [14:46] MonkeyDust: ok how? [14:46] he keeps going around on this loops [14:47] true [14:47] MonkeyDust: because disk utility won't do it gparted won't see it [14:48] Crazyeagle: try downloading the u3 removal tool from sandisk run it and see if that works [14:48] on your windows pc [14:48] I'm trying to run tune2fs, but the system doesn't recognize it as a command (nor man pages on it). I sudo apt-get install e2fsprogs but it says that that's already installed. [14:48] aiten_44: I'll try [14:48] hi, plesk has tried to run an auto-update and killed my mail server - i can't see any binary files for qmail [14:49] how can i reinstall qmail manually so that my php mail() function works? [14:49] what the heck! I guess it works now. [14:49] LogiM: whoaa what do you mean manually [14:49] lmat: could be e2fsprogs [14:49] LogiM: qmail has a very specific install process [14:49] SwedeMike: Thanks. [14:49] ikonia:something besides ./configure && make && make install [14:50] lmat: 1.) you should never do that with ANY software 2.) yes, very different [14:51] Hi, i'm trying to use do-release-upgrade with my internal mirror. But when i get my precise.tar.gz form my internal server, the tool is using prerequists-sources.list to download some files (it is pointing to archive.ubuntu.com). In this file, there is a variable ${mirror}. How can i use it? [14:53] Hi all, just wondering if there's a way to watch a folder and FTP files in it when to a server when they're saved? [14:54] Geofff: so many ways [14:54] Hi. I can't apt-get install anything because it says linux-generic : Depends: linux-headers-generic (= 3.2.0.43.51) but 3.2.0.48.58 is to be installed [14:54] Galaxor: do a sudo apt-get update to bring the local cache in sync [14:55] reisio: Such as? :P [14:55] Geofff: What's you're looking for is folder syncronisation - does it have to be FTP? [14:56] hi, is here someone who has expirience with avidemux2_cli? [14:56] blazemore, Yeah - they're going up to a webserver that I only have FTP access to [14:56] Geofff: The easiest thing to do would just be to script it to sync every 5 minutes or so [14:57] Hi every one! === root is now known as Guest63753 [14:57] ikonia: After apt-get update, I did apt-get -f install, like it suggested. I got: Errors were encountered while processing: /var/cache/apt/archives/linux-image-3.2.0-48-generic_3.2.0-48.74_amd64.deb E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (1) [14:57] Galaxor: clear down the archives directory [14:57] blazemore, Yeah that would be easiest, but I kinda need something a bit more responsive than that as I'm updating CSS files etc every 20 seconds or so [14:57] Geofff: Anyway, "unison" is a name I've heard before - http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/ [14:57] ikonia: Oh. No space left on device! [14:58] Galaxor: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoverLostDiskSpace [14:58] ikonia: It's only /boot that's full. [14:58] ikonia: I'll delete some old kernels. [14:58] Geofff: iwatch maybe [14:58] hi, how is it possible that javascript does not work properly in any browser under ubuntu. it shows me errors that should not. me and someone here took the same working project from git and it does not work for me :S . [14:58] Geofff: Also here http://sina.salek.ws/content/how-mirrorsync-remote-ftp-folder-local-folder [14:58] Galaxor: no [14:58] Galaxor: delete them using the package manager [14:58] pauser: link === Guest63753 is now known as hervinhio [14:59] ikonia: That's what I meant, yes. Thanks. [14:59] pauser: it's not possible [14:59] Galaxor: just checking [14:59] Im using ubuntu 13.04 and my update manager popped up with an update(which I dont mind) I am wondering why Kubuntu updates are starting to show for the KDE [14:59] pauser: Different browsers deal with javascript in entirely different ways, Ubuntu has nothing to do with it [14:59] reisio: its not open source, but its true what i said ! How do i solve the problem [14:59] Yud_Zroc: what you've just said doesn't make sense [14:59] Yud_Zroc: I get same as I have k3b installed [14:59] pauser: it's going to be hard if you can't show anyone anything [14:59] pauser: start with #javascript [15:00] Yud_Zroc: Do you mean, you are wondering why there are updates for KDE packages being shown, when you are not using Kubuntu? [15:00] blazemore: correct [15:00] Yud_Zroc: If you have ever installed a KDE application like k3b, it also installs a lot of requirements to allow KDE packages to run on Ubuntu [15:00] Yud_Zroc: The package manager will continue to keep these requirements up-to-date [15:00] blazemore: i know but its not possible that the same project works in 4 other computers and for me it does not work in firefox,chrome,opera [15:00] Yud_Zroc: It is nothing to worry about :) [15:01] pauser: You're right [15:01] I've installed mysql-server on an machine with a ~250GB database in /var/lib/mysql from a previous installation. Is it normal that the first boot of the daemon takes a few hours to complete? Thanks. [15:01] aiten_44: here is the result in win7: u3_partition() failed: Failed reading device property 0x03: Header of property 0x0003 could not be read. [15:01] ikonia: Hm. I can't apt-get remove those kernels. It gives me the error about unmet dependencies again. [15:01] Galaxor: "sudo apt-get -f install" [15:02] I've got some weird packet issues. I'm only having problems with one PC, using different NICs, switch ports, and cables. Same stuff on other boxes has no trouble. [15:02] blazemore: Doesn't help, because I'm out of space on /boot, so its attempts to install the kernel package it wants to install end up failing. [15:02] http://imgur.com/amhOfsd <--this stuff I dont want showing up, how to I remove it [15:02] blazemore: That's why I'm trying to clear space on /boot by apt-get removing old kernels. [15:03] Crazyeagle: Dang I was hoping that it was going to work is that on both usb sticks you tried or just the one? [15:03] i know is kind of going around and around but that is how i feel believe me [15:03] aiten_44: let me try the other one [15:03] Galaxor: out of space on /boot is a tricky one... [15:04] Hi, [15:04] does anybody know the keyboard shortcut to delete a row in libreoffice calc ? [15:04] Yud_Zroc: Why do you want to get rid of it? [15:05] ctrl + shift + left arrow and then delete [15:05] same [15:05] Yud_Zroc: You could uninstall those packages using synaptic [15:05] blazemore: they arnt installed, ubuntu wants to install them.... [15:05] Yud_Zroc: But they are there for a reason [15:05] Yud_Zroc: They are already installed; Ubuntu wants to update them [15:05] i would like to install ubuntu desktop. Please let me know which version is the best and compatible with all software & apps [15:05] aiten_44: is there a way to mount a dev in two places or force it to be mounted as a specific type so gparted can see it? [15:06] yugandhar: Ubuntu 13.04 is the most recent version [15:06] blazemore: I couldnt screencap the top part, but it wants to install KDE core files [15:06] Yud_Zroc: That is the update manager [15:06] gparted should be able to see if when mounted or un mounted [15:06] gparted doesn't see anything correct not even that you have a device plugged in? [15:07] blazemore: so your telling me unity and KDE are merging? [15:07] hi, [15:07] aiten_44: but if fdisk won't see it but disk utility is seeing it how is that possible? [15:07] i get a lost of names when i execute a particular command [15:07] Yud_Zroc: No, would you please read what I have said [15:07] there is also one file called admin.xx [15:07] i want to list all the names except admin.xx [15:08] Yud_Zroc: You have, at some point, installed a package which has KDE dependencies. This could be some game, or k3b, or something. Now, Ubuntu is trying to keep those dependencies up-to-date, and you should let it [15:08] Crazyeagle: Idk lol I have had similar situations though I'm still looking into your problem hopefully we'll figure it ot [15:08] out [15:08] what is my option [15:08] i have attempted grep, cut [15:08] ok [15:08] it lists the admin.xx [15:08] sandeepr_ltp: grep -v admin.xx ? [15:08] blazemore: how do i remove all thesedependancies? [15:08] aiten_44: TY for trying! [15:09] i've a seperate partition for my home and also it consists lot files which are more important , how can i fresh install ubuntu 13.04 without deleting my home partition. [15:09] Yud_Zroc: You would have to remove the package which required those dependencies to be installed in the first place. OR you can install "synaptic" package manager, find one of the packages which offends you so much, and mark it for removal. Then, it will list a lot of packages to be removed, and you should say yes, remove them all [15:09] Yud_Zroc: But you will lose whatever package you originally installed which required those dependencies [15:10] Is there any way to know the previous calculation (history) done through bc ? [15:10] blazemore: ok thankyou [15:10] blazemore, it lists admin.xx [15:10] jiltdil: bc <<< foo in bash, then it'll be !! [15:10] sandeepr_ltp: What are you running to get this output? [15:10] blazemore: is not that it offends me, i just dnt want added bloat [15:11] I have a cluster with 6 machines, how can I mirror the home folder of users ? [15:11] Yud_Zroc: You are the one who installed it, nobody else. You are free to remove those packages as you wish [15:11] chro: constantly, or once? [15:11] crowbar_machines list [15:11] reisio, foo means what to put here? [15:11] chro: Look into LDAP, but it's an advanced topic. #ubuntu-server can point you in the right direction maybe [15:11] jiltdil: some calculation [15:11] jiltdil: bc <<< 2+3 [15:11] etc. [15:11] : i've a seperate partition for my home and also it consists lot files which are more important , how can i fresh install ubuntu 13.04 without deleting my home partition. [15:11] blazemore, crowbar_machines list [15:11] jiltdil: echo '2+3' | bc also works [15:12] The plot thickens... My weird packet issues are on my install. A live xubuntu 12.04 cd has no such packet loss trouble. [15:12] reisio, oh! but i had done some calculation 1 day befor, i want to see that calculation. [15:12] blazemore, ldap is from windows no ? [15:12] no [15:12] jiltdil: I don't think bc has a history, man bc [15:13] reisio, yes, no history for bc , i already saw man . Any way thanks [15:13] yugandhar: Before you do anything, make a backup onto another machine or external drive (just in case). Then, you can choose custom partitioning during the installer, and choose your existing /home partition to mount as /home. make sure you do not tick the box to format it. [15:13] yugandhar: If it were me, I'd do a backup and a completely fresh install, and then copy the important files back over [15:13] Anyone I'm in the middle of advising, I'll brb 10 minutes [15:14] ikonia: noob question installed a pkg that is cmd line invoked how do I know where the software center installed? [15:14] Thanks alot blazemore [15:15] Crazyeagle: what did you install and how [15:15] I'm having trouble mounting a drive. It's a raid with 3 disks in it. It mounted until recently when the power shut off. Now, there's a /dev/sdc1 for it, but no /dev/disk/by-uuid for it. It also shows up in /dev/disk/by-id as a USB driev. [15:15] blazemore, ikonia: My solution: I created /fakeboot and then bind-mounted it over /boot. Now /boot has as much space as it needs. I apt-get -f install. Then I uninstall the old kernels, and then un-bind-mount and then make /boot have the same stuff as /fakeboot, using rsync with --delete-during or whatever. [15:15] ikonia: Ubuntu software center u3-tool [15:16] Crazyeagle: how did you install it [15:16] I've tried tune2fs -U to change the UUID (give it a UUID). The error I get is "Bad magic number in super-block while trying ot open /dev/sdc1", so I've tried restoring a backup superblack to no avail. [15:16] search for it got the icon click install that's it [15:16] blazemore, ikonia: I got stuck, though. Once I had /fakeboot bind-mounted over /boot, my disk-space problems went away, but now there's dependency problems: linux-generic : Depends: linux-image-generic (= 3.2.0.43.51) but 3.2.0.48.58 is to be installed [15:16] When I try to mount it, mount wants me to specify the fs (which is a red light in my book), then I specify the fstype and get the above error again. [15:17] ikonia: did that just now [15:17] Crazyeagle: you said you installed it from the command [15:17] no [15:17] Crazyeagle: ooh I see you installed a command line package [15:17] Crazyeagle: it will install the binary in /usr/bin [15:17] from ubuntu sowtware center [15:17] ok ty i'll try === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [15:18] ikonia: I am trying to do this: http://u3-tool.sourceforge.net/ [15:18] ./u3_tool -u /dev/sg3 [15:19] Crazyeagle: why /dev/sg3? I thought you said it was /dev/sdf? [15:19] Crazyeagle: from where ?

[15:24] I think it should be u3-tool not u3_tool and the U may need to be caps [15:25] anyone know where i can find the differences between libreadline-gplv2-dev and libreadline6 [15:25] !info u3-tool [15:25] u3-tool (source: u3-tool): tool for controlling the special features of a U3 USB flash disk.

[15:26] it says command not found [15:26] I'm wondering how to do a totally non-interactive install from mysql. Does ubuntu have any official docs on that kind of thing? [15:26] ikonia: aiten_44 yes link is wrong command should be sudo u3-tool -u /dev/sdf [15:26] when im sudoing in [15:27] ikonia: aiten_44 still said: Error opening device: No medium found [15:27] Crazyeagle: we know this - we've told you why [15:27] (sorry, meant a 100% non-interactive install OF mysql.)

[15:29] lmat: you have missed a lot [15:29] I don't think so. install works not apt-get [15:29] Crazyeagle: I assume so!! [15:29] kcmartz, what do you mean install works?

I like to use it a desktop device and phone same time. One of the bottlenecks is the VNC as Display and thus the lacking video support [15:59] kcmartz: I have a VM using 110Mb ram, and my main system for media stuff using 846Mb ram [15:59] A1Recon: try it in a liveCD [15:59] Hey everyone! I'm trying to write an upstart script and it is having some problems. I would like to be able to manually run it to see the failures in the log, but I don't know how. Right now I'm rebooting after every change. How can I run the upstart script with a command? [15:59] Is there a native Ubuntu Mobile app still developed or is there something that does not exist within the market space of google? [15:59] gestahlt: what are you connecting to VNC to achieve? [15:59] Because I'm trying to get as much of that 6GB available to the server for a few more slots. === rbxs|Zzzz is now known as rbxs [15:59] kcmartz: then use xubuntu and it will be light [16:00] Okay, the friend who owns the hardware woke up and I told him about your recommendations. [16:00] ActionParsnip: It's local loopback. The only way afaik to get Ubuntu to display on the phone. Ubuntu is installed of the linuxonandroid app.. at least i did the instructions. And it is even running smoothly [16:00] gestahlt: ohhh that old thing [16:00] kcmartz, just plain old ubuntu-server is fine. [16:00] Exactly! [16:01] Yea, I just need it to work as I have 3 donors on my server who are getting antsy :/ [16:01] ActionParsnip: Personally, i find it very awesome. Performance could be way better but i havent looked so deeply into it to see how it is interfaced [16:01] kcmartz, then reinstall with ubuntu-server [16:01] has anyone used the passdev option on ubuntu for encrypted root? [16:01] ActionParsnip: So my question is if there is something better or any other apporoaches === jack is now known as Guest74970 [16:02] gestahlt: your phone isn't a power house, so it will be slow [16:02] I'll attempt that.

I thought someone mentioned it the other day, but I havent found it [16:15] tannji: Honestly I haven't a clue, what do you need it to do that it doesn't do currently? [16:16] it had a slightly different name, but still randr based [16:16] I use arandr [16:16] dont need atm... but at some point will go to multiple monitors +tv.... [16:16] is there any american here ? [16:16] I recommend arandr wholeheartedly [16:16] so it still works fine with 13.04 then?

[16:24] reisio: what do you suggest? I'm just trying to avoid compiling manually everytime i want to (re)provision a server [16:24] blazemore: just that managed to exit the other screen and ctrl+a + c to create a new and was met with that [16:24] probably not as much of a headache as the imaginary crack fiend who stole your laptop who also cares about trying to get your banking info... actually getting it [16:24] johntron: just copy the files over [16:24] johntron: if it's the same arch it'll work the same way [16:24] reisio: funnily enough, most peeps set autologin, which makes it pointless [16:25] ActionParsnip: heh [16:25] there should be more education about it if you choose it at install time [16:25] I s'pose [16:25] but nobody steals laptops to get banking info [16:25] they sell them for $20 to get a tiny amount of drugs [16:25] reisio: "but i dont want to have to login!

[16:26] reisio: no, I use online banking [16:26] sindri: do you use autologin on your system, or do you have to type a password to get to the desktop? [16:26] reisio: none of my computers have any of my banking information on them though [16:26] gordonjcp: and you don't let it keep you logged in? [16:26] reisio: I use a web interface, no bank details are stored [16:26] reisio: i was thinking about that, but I'm using VirtualBox for development images and my host uses VMware and ESXi. I don't know if copying over the files would work in this case. Also, i'm trying to upgrade from ubuntu 12 to raring, so i know this approach won't work in this instance [16:26] ActionParsnip: but you are informed [16:26] most people remain logged in [16:26] ActionParsnip: it's my server and I have to login using password and username :p [16:26] reisio: i just use a good bank :) [16:26] sindri: good [16:26] johntron: should work fine [16:27] reisio: no, and indeed most browsers have an option you can pass to password fields to not let them be auto-filled [16:27] hi. I'm using 13.04 on an optimus laptop. I can run something like DRI_PRIME =1 glxspheres and it has good performance. Does it mean I'm using nouveau against nvidia graphics card?

[16:58] cha0x1: unless you're particularly worried that someone used your system without your knowledge, just uninstall what you don't want [16:58] done [16:58] reisio, is there any way to find if these are dependencies of a program?

[17:09] Peyam: /msg ubottu whatever_you_want_to_ask_about -- or browse the database at ubottu.com [17:09] Peyam: It only needs to go in the channel if you're giving the information to somebody else, if its just for yourself, its better to use "/msg ubottu factoid" [17:09] okej [17:10] How to bring ubottu to other chanel? To indonesian chanel === Sidhu is now known as Dasda [17:13] BenyaminL: An official representative from the Indonesian channel should ask in someplace like #ubuntu-irc about it.

Anyone know how to put confirmation when replacing files in ubuntu server? [17:17] RTL8723 rather [17:18] Guest10547: that nick was already registered. Come up with an unused one :) [17:18] ooo [17:18] i see [17:18] hi, how can I open a maildir format mail text file? I need to download an attachment from that file. thanks. [17:19] testing? [17:19] no [17:19] let me reconnect [17:19] sgo11: a maildir is a dir, not a single file. Do you mean an mbox file? [17:19] If so, try opening it with mutt. [17:19] I have installed Saucy daily image on a VM in Virtualbox with 1 GB RAM. I noticed that the animations in the desktop are very slow inside the VM. Is there some way to improve it or disable it? [17:19] Seveas, the file under maildir. not mbox. [17:19] Seveas, I am using maildir/ format instead of mbox. [17:20] hi [17:20] sgo11: so it's a single mail? Just open it with evolution [17:20] !saucy | lgp171188 [17:20] lgp171188: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu.

[17:20] Seveas, yeah, it's a single file. How can I open it with evolution? I tried that. it's not working. I haven't installed mutt yet. thanks. [17:21] wilee-nilee: Thanks for pointing me to the right channel. [17:21] how can I get MAAS to work? [17:21] I need to deploy many ubuntu [17:21] ubunti [17:21] ubunties [17:22] Seveas, let me install mutt first and try mutt. evolution is not working. [17:22] evolution is always a problem [17:22] that's why I choosed thunderbird [17:23] all mailclients suck. Mutt just sucks least, it merely segfaults all the time :) [17:23] hi [17:23] hi ur0pl [17:23] sudo echo "new source" >> /etc/sources.list says permission denied . do any of you know why? [17:24] ur0pl: echo "new source" | sudo tee -a /etc/apt/sources.list [17:24] the redirect is not done by sudo but your shell [17:24] okay [17:25] Seveas, I tried mutt -f mailmessage, it throws an error: mailmessage is not a mailbox. [17:26] sgo11: try mutt -H [17:26] seems like a straightforward message to me [17:26] Seveas, thanks a lot. that works. [17:26] sgo11: or mutt -f /path/to/maildir/ [17:27] or just realizing what -f is for [17:27] I read my postmaster@ mail with mutt -f /var/spam/postmaster [17:27] only 1 in 1000 messages is not spam :) === eth is now known as Guest1940 [17:27] have any soft tha trace phone numbers [17:27] ??/ [17:27] hello [17:28] even if email didn't get spam and were secure, it'd still be antiquated [17:28] ı have a question [17:28] xmpp [17:28] Guest1940: prove it :) [17:28] Hi, i have an Intel Atom Dual Core N2600 with 2 gb of ram. Is better to install ubuntu 12.04.2 32 bit version or 64 bit version? [17:28] Seveas, but that is still not really user readable. I can still not see the attachment. only see base64 encoded texts. that is the same with viewing with vim. any ideas how to download the attachments? thanks. [17:28] led: hrmm? [17:28] is there anybody for my question ? [17:28] dirac_: Nowadays, as long as your hardware supports 64bit, use 64bit. [17:28] dirac_: 64-bit [17:28] Guest1940: only if you ever present one [17:29] blackubuntu or backtrack which one do you suggest? [17:29] lol [17:29] hm, mutt should be picking up the attachments and allowing you to save them. Are you sure the mail is not corrupted? Alternatively, copy the file, remove all but the base64-encoded attachments and run it through base64 -d :) [17:29] Guest1940: Ubuntu. Neither Blackbuntu nor backtrack is supported in here. [17:29] Seveas, thanks. I will try that. [17:30] okey which one should ı install ? [17:30] Guest1940: Ubuntu. [17:30] Guest1940: they're probably both Ubuntu [17:30] so whichever has the best wallpaper [17:30] okey ı got it. [17:30] but ubuntu have a nice graphics [17:30] i read that 2 gb of ram are few for 64 bit...is it true? [17:31] design [17:31] dirac_: No. [17:31] ok thank you [17:31] dirac_: are few?... [17:32] another question is that what is the difference between KDE , Gnome? [17:32] kde blackubuntu or gnome blackubuntu ? [17:32] Guest1940: that is mostly subjective [17:32] Guest1940: No blackbuntu. [17:32] Guest1940: try them and see which you prefer [17:32] Guest1940: only ubuntu is supported here [17:33] and oficial derivates* [17:33] the only substantial differences are that KDE prefers C++ over C, and GNOME prefers C over C++, and [17:33] KDE's graphical toolkit is maintained by a commercial entity [17:33] okey thank you for replyinh. [17:35] I'm having problems :| [17:35] reisio: gnome is community driven? [17:35] to the max [17:35] rawrmonster: yes [17:35] i had some issues with ubuntu after installing fresh, some prograns (opera, skype) wont launch even seems they have launche. but in this install there are 2 accounts the second one works no problems at all. any suggestions?. [17:36] dill: start the program in question in a terminal, to see the errors. [17:36] i read that 64 bit programs need much ram... [17:36] Anytime i try to save image as/set as desktop etc from inside firefox or chromium, they freeze. Am I dumb, or any suggestions? [17:36] dirac_: nope [17:36] dirac_: They dont need more than 32bit. [17:36] bekks: i did already and no message at all, terminal stay blank.

[17:38] ripplebit: the overheat problem is not new with Lenovo computers [17:39] reisio: then what's causing it to lag? when it's not hot, ubuntu runs fine [17:39] O I am having an odd issue that i have never had before on ubuntu. When i go to ubuntu software center and try to re-download some stuff like steam and amnesia. The picture of the software shows but when i click on it, it says that the software is not in my repo's? [17:39] or vice versa [17:39] dill: So you dont need to reinstall. You just messed upped your .chrome folder somehow. Delete it, and you are fine, as you just told us. [17:39] reisio: it is. Im running ubuntu on my E330 and it becoms hot. I even contacted Lenovo still no answers [17:39] Peyam: I did read that somewhere [17:39] ripplebit: it's probably hotter the more you do with it; and the more you do, the fewer resources there are to go around, hence "lag" [17:39] ripplebit: Sorry I dunno know the solution to ur problem. but please contact me if you figure it out some how [17:39] I'm not sure you have an actual problem, other than not being rich enough to afford a ridiculously overpowered laptop [17:39] .chrome? no is .opera but if i delete i lost all preferences and what about skype not launching? [17:40] dill: Your preferences make it crash. ;) [17:40] dill: Did you try the same with skype?

[17:57] it supposedly works in Fedora [17:57] * reisio shrugs [17:57] what's wrong with the fix? [17:59] you have to run a command at start up every time, and the keyboard seems to only work properly in command line, not X [17:59] and the scroll lock continues to not work [17:59] hi, just ufter the installation I performed apt-get update/upgrade. The kernel image and headers blah-blah.19 were installed. After rebooting in the update center the blah-blah.25 kernel version were available.

[18:05] bekks: At least for Mysql [18:06] I'd love to discover that there is a global command that does a permission check like on Macs.. :) [18:07] nomad411: Which wont help you, since your database contains user-defined files, etc. [18:08] bekks: I don't follow? [18:08] nomad411: When creating a new database, e.g. it will be saved in files that are not contained in the mysql package. [18:08] The db files are not under /var are they?

For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [18:35] JaZZyCooL: http://askubuntu.com/questions/211339/windows-8-wont-boot-after-installation-of-12-10 might be relevant [18:36] JaZZyCooL: i would ask the *actual* question in the channel, and post relevant details, when asked, in the pastebin [18:36] I already went there and checked to the solution the I thinkm I have to use the boot-repair but still not sure because as I said I also want to install crunchbang [18:36] JaZZyCooL: #! is not suppported here [18:36] JaZZyCooL, boot up a livecd of ubuntu and run boot-repair [18:37] !bootrepair > JaZZyCooL [18:37] ok but I think I will first try out the holstein solution [18:37] JaZZyCooL: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [18:37] Boot-repair and a fix to the postinstall script if you get the nice grub-efi bug [18:37] JaZZyCooL: boot repair will just do that.. repair the boot, ideally finding *all* operating systems and making them boot properly [18:38] ^ [18:38] Kitt3n: we'll have to try and get a "bootrepair" bot response :) [18:38] oh ok thanks a lot sir [18:38] Good idea [18:38] JaZZyCooL, one thing though! [18:39] hey folks [18:39] I highly appreciate your help to all guys thanks [18:39] hello when I want to paste something in /var/www the paste option is disabled [18:39] If Boot-repair says it "failed", try reboot anyway [18:39] Kenjin_: Thanks for coining the word sysstat. I liked this first link I looked at: http://www.thegeekstuff.com/2011/03/sar-examples/ You may leave a question for me and I would see if I can help you by being a navigator. [18:39] motaka2: you likely dont have permission.. [18:40] also how can I install and replace grub 1.99 with 2.0 [18:40] JaZZyCooL: run the boot repair, and get your OS's booting.. you should have no need to upgrade grub [18:40] JaZZyCooL: 1.99 actually is 2. [18:40] JaZZyCooL: .9x was grub1, 1.9x is grub2. [18:41] One last question if you guys don't mind [18:41] !ask | JaZZyCooL [18:41] JaZZyCooL, in Boot-repair just click on 'purge bootloader' and it should guide you through the uninstallation of the old bootloader. [18:41] JaZZyCooL: 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 [18:41] I have a GUI question. When I drag a window up to the global menu, the top of the windows disappears under it.

[18:41] samgabbay: Install xubuntu, start it. :) [18:42] You could also just uninstall all the programs that comes with Ubuntu. [18:42] bekks i did but i have ubuntu and xubuntu i just waanna remove ubuntu how do i do that [18:42] without reinstalling [18:42] I also want to install crunchbang along side ubuntu and windows 8, keeping the ubuntu EFI grub as the master grub so that I can boot into all the OS without changing the boot mode (UEFI or Legacy) [18:42] samgabbay: why? disk space? theres no other reason really... [18:42] samgabbay: sudo apt-get remove ubuntu-desktop [18:42] Is that possible [18:42] thanks bekks and holstein [18:42] samgabbay try sudo apt-get purge ubuntu-desktop;sudo apt-get autoremove [18:42] JaZZyCooL: crunchbang is not supported here.. there is nothing about ubuntu preventing you from installing whatever you want [18:42] JaZZyCooL, install crunchbang first, then boot up Boot-repair [18:43] The old bootloader from crunchbang should bother Boot-repair :) [18:43] Shouldn't* [18:43] Dang it [18:43] so how can I solve that problem [18:44] thanks [18:44] yeah, i would just install whatever OS's i want, such as #! *first*, as Kitt3n suggested, then i would run the boot repair [18:44] JaZZyCooL, make a partition for crunchbang, and install crunchbang, then boot up a livecd of Ubuntu and run Boot-repair. [18:44] When I drag a window up to the global menu, the top bar disappears under the global menu. I can't click it thereafter. [18:44] guys how do u rremove unity [18:45] Boot-repair will then purge the old bootloader from crunchbang if you have to install one (I haven't used crunchbang, myself!) and install grub-efi [18:45] like completly [18:45] and keep xubuntu [18:45] !patience | syntax_error [18:45] syntax_error: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you.

[18:45] samgabbay: no reason to remove unity other than disk space. is that the issue?

I assume I need to reconfigure some stuff with ld.so.conf or the like - can anyone help? [18:48] samgabbay, Look here make sure you are using the pckg list for your release, and since you have removed some you will get errors. www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/purexubuntu [18:48] nurow, Boot-repair should be able to fix your Windows boot problem. [18:49] is that just a command? [18:49] samgabbay, If the errors say can not find this "package" remove it from the removal list, do this is a gedit for ease.

ALl I can find online is commands to list all installed packages, but I am looking for a specific one that I manually installed.... [18:54] phunyguy: i use synaptic as a gui package manager that is arguably easier to do that with [18:54] hmmm [18:54] good idea [18:54] nurow: if you installed ubuntu, ubuntu installed its own bootloader, as you asked the installer to do by installing... [18:54] nurow, Have you run the bootrepair and have the bootinfo summary http? [18:55] adamk: I didn't remove the nvidia driver, just the nvidia card. [18:55] An_Ony_Moose: Well that's a problem :-) [18:56] adamk: actually it's only 32-bit programs that can't find libGL.so, the others are fine [18:56] just booted into live cd, one sec [18:56] i'm trying to force a downgrade for my firefox version through synaptic but it only has the current version and a REALLY old version. i just need to revert to the previous version. is it possible to update the synaptic repos for firefox? [18:57] finaly ubuntu got chromium 28, yay! :D [18:57] Bower^, what version? do you want [18:57] Bower^: synaptic has no repos.. you would change the system repos.. maybe add a ppa? not sure what happens to older unsupported versions of FF [18:57] why do I keep getting "Couldn't upload file, check your internet connection" when I drag and drop image files to "Drop to share" on 13.04 [18:57] ?

[18:59] sorry [18:59] adamk: so next time I want to use my nvidia card again I'll have to reinstall it? [19:00] An_Ony_Moose: You'll either have to use nouveau or install the nvidia proprietary driver. [19:00] thanks wilee-nilee [19:00] no prob [19:01] adamk: sorry if I'm just misunderstanding: it's not a good idea to have nvidia (proprietary) installed while using the intel graphics, but ok to have nouveau installed while using intel graphics? [19:02] adamk: I'm expecting a situation where I'll be switching between the two quite frequently so reinstalling every time would be a bit cumbersome [19:02] hello i did all that ubottu pages show about no sound problem but I still have the same problem [19:02] Correct. Both nouveau and the intel drivers are open source and come with Ubuntu. [19:02] holstein: even the manually installed section of synaptic shows /everything/ :( [19:02] why do I keep getting "Couldn't upload file, check your internet connection" when I drag and drop image files to "Drop to share" on 13.04 [19:02] ?

I don't remember the name [19:03] but I did apt-get it at one point. [19:03] wilee-nilee: would #cairo-dock be a better place to ask? [19:03] phunyguy: try 'history' in the terminal [19:03] I need help with no sound problem on Ubuntu 12.04 [19:04] holstein: let me rephrase, I apt-get'd it about 6 months ago,. [19:04] Kartagis, Not sure is that a channel I use cairo and do not nor ever have seen a drop to share. [19:04] An_Ony_Moose: Theoretically you could just move the nvidia glx module and GL library out of the way, but I personally think uninstalling and reinstalling the driver is easier, and less error prone. [19:04] okay, so I have boot-repair up, and i'm ready to run it. Should I do the recommended repair? [19:04] phunyguy: so, you dont have it in the 'history' ? i mean, you can search around through your applications, which are by name.. === _ffio_ is now known as ffio [19:05] nurow2, No run the bootinfo summary only and post the url.

[19:08] nurow2, THe recomened repair is to reload grub to the sdb, you can run it, but be sure the sdb HD is first read in the bios.

[19:38] Kitt3n: are you switching the output on praka 's settings fomr HDMI? i like that idea, if so [19:38] wilee-nilee, yeah I actually already tried this method. it never saw a windows 7 partition to recover [19:39] Chadman: https://code.google.com/p/v4l2loopback/source/checkout it's in a mercurial repo, not SVN [19:39] I'm screwed aren't I.. [19:39] holstein, HDMI is dead broken so yes? [19:39] I just lost 5 years of data.. [19:39] Chadman: again, patience. I'm working on it myself. [19:39] Kitt3n: it might work.. not sure.. thats why i suggested trying 13.04 [19:39] It should work using the built-in output [19:39] nurow2, Probably you could try a recover with testdisk if there at leat data you want from it. [19:39] 'should'. [19:40] Kitt3n: agreed.. praka ^^ try this suggestion please [19:40] is at least* [19:40] what is testdisk? [19:40] nurow2: can't you access win-data by booting from ubuntu-drive if you connect both drives together? [19:40] Ok [19:40] And then? [19:40] Test if it works? [19:40] KyouReeUs4nfo, Windows is unallocated. === monaco is now known as K|nG [19:40] Kyou, unfortunately no. In Ubuntu I can't see that particular drive.

[19:40] It doesn't works [19:40] wilee-nilee, the photo didn't say unallocated, more like..something went seriously wrong [19:41] I'm using 12.04 [19:41] holstein, I think he said me this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5838267/ [19:41] I'm installing mercurial, wait. === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [19:41] to download v4l2loopback's local repo. [19:41] praka: sure, and trying 13.04 live will let you see how the hardware support is with a newer kernel, and newer alsa version, and drivers for your graphics card [19:42] Kitt3n, Sure unknown, might as well be. [19:42] Chadman: try and type more text. *not* hitting the "enter" key so much.. it floods the channel with uncessary text [19:43] Kitt3n,something went yes that is obvious. ;) [19:43] wrong* [19:43] * usr01 drowned on Chadman's flood [19:44] wilee-nilee: got it, I thought if win bootloader is corrupted, ubuntu bootloader will help considering win drive as secondary and data will be visible [19:44] Chadman: sorry, that's not up-to-date. My mistake. I think the latest, working code is available here https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback [19:44] KyouReeUs4nfo, Sorry I meant to say unknown as well. [19:44] KyouReeUs4nfo, Grub only chainloads to the windows bootloader, it can't boot Windows :p [19:45] Kitt3n: Grub2? [19:45] KyouReeUs4nfo, yes! [19:46] Kitt3n: Ah, so if I have a win-drive, that is external, I can't see anything?? [19:46] y [19:46] KyouReeUs4nfo, what?

[19:47] Easy to fix! :) [19:47] at the dot thing [19:47] nuvo2: what is the status? [19:47] Go to recovery, enable networking then "drop to root shell" [19:47] k? [19:47] hd5770, give details and keep the cdomplaints to yourself if you want help, and post to the channel. [19:47] kaddi: there are no licenses like that.. but, its a good idea to wipe data to protect it [19:48] Type "apt-get install fglrx" [19:48] sure coz i tryed this [19:48] holstein: so i could just sell ubuntu straight out if I wanted to? o.0 [19:48] kaddi: you are selling the hardware in that scenario... and it happens to have ubuntu on it [19:48] and it says the root f/s is not wrtable [19:48] Oh. [19:48] holstein: so this also holds for new PCs, that I might build? I thought that would definitely not be ok [19:48] Chadman: no, that's git. If you have git installed, git clone https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback.git [19:49] hd5770, "mount -o rw,remount /" [19:49] Chadman: if not, you can just click on the "Download ZIP" link on that page [19:49] kaddi: you can contact legal for exact statements. but, you are selling the hardware, and ubuntu is free of charge to use [19:49] Type that into the command line, it should remount your / partition as read write [19:49] holstein: thanks :) [19:49] im installing it thru git, an_ony_moose. [19:50] an_ony_moose, ok. its installed now. [19:50] Chadman: ok, go into the directory and type make to compile it, assuming you have all the necessary stuff installed [19:50] an_ony_moose, I downloaded the files thru git into a 'v4l2loopback' folder, now what?

Good luck, and I'll be back later. I'll PM you when I'm back if you're still there [20:00] fair enough. I have ubuntu on a VM. it needed more space, so I loaded Gparted and scaled up the only data partition on the drive to 25 gigs. When I reboot however the OS still only shows 7 gigs of HD space [20:00] alright an_ony_moose, ill try mplayer. [20:00] is there any way to force ubuntu to re-assess the size of a partition? [20:00] and ill be here, hopefully. [20:00] scheidm, Try #vbox [20:00] also, i don't know anything about programming... does it get in my way of learning ubuntu?

[20:02] Bico_Fino: fastest would be a clean install [20:02] jdelgado: init.d scripts aren't like... dynamically continuously interpreted [20:02] jdelgado: they just execute and then sit around for next time they're executed [20:02] Bico_Fino: you are quite late for that. you cant upgrade directly so i would do a new install [20:02] Bico_Fino, a clean install is better than updating [20:02] without a clean install. [20:03] reisio: Right, but I get an inuse error when I try to replace it. [20:03] Bico_Fino: other way is to upgrade from 8.04 to 10.04 and then to 12.04 and then to 12.10 and then to 13.04 [20:03] Back up your data and install 13.04 [20:03] scheidm, If it is vbox all you have to do is bulid a new machine and use the vdi you have. [20:03] reisio: Just making an auto-update script [20:03] k1l_, yeah. I'm going try that. do-release-upgrade isn't working. [20:04] jdelgado: to what end? [20:04] Bico_Fino: because you are late. 8.04 is out of support [20:04] !eol | Bico_Fino [20:04] Bico_Fino: 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 [20:04] reisio: Just a script that copies the updated init.d over the old, while the daemon is running. [20:04] k1l_, ty. [20:04] jdelgado: right, but for what purpose [20:05] reisio: For the purpose of... updating. The script has an array of node applications that it needs to run. [20:05] if i run ubuntu on virtualbox, does it provide me with full functionality? [20:06] whatsyourname: Yes [20:06] jdelgado: I don't follow, but if your init system won't let you replace the file, it is dumb [20:06] whatsyourname, Basically, however vbox has its own drivers, and be sure to install the guest additions. [20:06] reisio: I agree [20:06] Anyone want to help me get my keyboard, trackpad & wireless working no a clean ubuntu install? I can pay you a few bucks lol I'm getting restless :P [20:07] i see [20:07] whatsyourname: but mind that its not as fast as a real install [20:07] hey guys, some1 spekas ITALIAN here? =) [20:07] reisio: you weren't kidding abou tthe nonsensical chatter on that channel [20:07] !it | LoveMe [20:07] LoveMe: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese.

[20:12] apt-get remove fglrx work : [20:12] hd5770, ah, okay! Well, just install it again now === Chad is now known as Chadman [20:12] Hi, I am using ubuntu 13.04, but also I have installed KDE. Now the problem is that, I just once tried to use KDE accessible software. But now I can not get rid of it. (its symbol is blue circle with a white man with stretched arms.) Does anybody know how can I exit from it? [20:12] ShadowBlaze18: the vast majority, yes [20:12] guys, guys. [20:12] reisio; please help. [20:12] i tried to install ubuntu and got an error: installer has encountered error, starting desktop session so you can investigate problem............ maybe because i deleted all partitions on my disk first..... do i need to create an empty partition first, an ext4? [20:12] ShadowBlaze18: additionally, you will never get into legal trouble by giving something away for nothing [20:12] ShadowBlaze18: it's selling free software that is tricky [20:12] k [20:12] oh, okay [20:12] I installed webcamstudio thru a .deb file, but when I do 'modprobe webcamstudio', it gives me FATAL: Module webcamstudio not found, how can I fix this? [20:12] not the amd beta ones ? [20:13] I was paranoid all this time that I broke the licenses, thank you reisio for answering my question [20:13] ShadowBlaze18: unless you live in some horrible strange country and you give away like... highly illegal anti-/-encryption software [20:13] ShadowBlaze18: which is unlikely [20:13] hd5770, reinstall fglrx, then when you get into your computer, download the official AMD driver, uninstall fglrx, (DONT reboot) and install the official driver with "--force" [20:13] Hi, I am using ubuntu 13.04, but also I have installed KDE. Now the problem is that, I just once tried to use KDE accessible software. But now I can not get rid of it. (its symbol is blue circle with a white man with stretched arms.) Does anybody know how can I exit from it? It just re-opens when I click on exit!! [20:13] Please help [20:13] reisio, hd5770, ShadowBlaze18, Kitt3n, bekks, an_ony_moose, mojtaba, I installed webcamstudio thru a .deb file, but when I do 'modprobe webcamstudio', it gives me FATAL: Module webcamstudio not found, how can I fix this? [20:13] ShadowBlaze18: GPL's purpose is basically to keep commercial organizations from making versions of GPL software that other people cannot hack (modify) [20:13] ShadowBlaze18: and you are not a commercial organization :p [20:14] Chadman, I don't know how to fix that. [20:14] Chadman: Sorry I do not know (I am a newbie) [20:14] Afflicto, Not much info on that unit on the web in general, did any of this work on the live cd? [20:14] oh, okay, thanks [20:14] Kitt3n, like, why it's giving me "FATAL: cannot load module webcamstudio" [20:14] I installed webcamstudio. [20:14] but it's giving me that error. [20:14] Kitt3n, will try [20:14] any help? [20:14] Chadman, it can't find the module? [20:15] ShadowBlaze18: it's obviously more technical than that, but that's the gist :p [20:15] Kitt3n: yes, it says "module not found" [20:15] Hi, I am using ubuntu 13.04, but also I have installed KDE. Now the problem is that, I just once tried to use KDE accessible software. But now I can not get rid of it. (its symbol is blue circle with a white man with stretched arms.) Does anybody know how can I exit from it? It just re-opens when I click on exit!! [20:15] Chadman, is it a program? If so, launch the program. [20:15] Is there a program will display all audio levels in real time? [20:15] ShadowBlaze18: in any event even if you were a commercial organization, and someone cared to get upset with you, their first step would be to simply ask you to provide the source code [20:15] whatsyourname: then there may be little overhead, but know there will still be overhead and a little slowdown [20:15] zephyr28: pavucontrol? Alsamixer? Not sure what you want [20:16] Kitt3n: I can launch the program, but the program says, "Cannot load webcamstudio module" [20:16] saiarcot895: i see [20:16] so reisio, I can just give the OS and the software that comes with it in the full version as is and not break licenses? [20:16] wilee-nilee: I was able to boot into recovery mode and use the keyboard. I did something in the recovery which booted up ubuntu and then I was able to use wireless, trackpad & keyboard. But when I boot regularly that's when they dont' work. [20:16] Chadman, perhaps google the problem? [20:17] jrib: not to see volume levels. I can't for the life of me think of what it's actually called... the bars that move up and down depending on the level of sound being pushed through that device/speaker. [20:17] Hmm. If anyone's free can someone help me with a big issue I've run into with vino-server? [20:17] ShadowBlaze18: yes indeed [20:17] zephyr28: doesn't pavucontrol show you this? [20:17] Afflicto, Ah well that is a good sign, can you access additional drivers? i may need a update and upgrade or drivers. [20:17] ShadowBlaze18: and again, _even if_ you actually technically violated a license, not a single person is going to care unless you are making money off of it [20:17] jrib: haven't tried it. Will now. [20:18] Afflicto, and drivers rather [20:18] reisio: GPL3 has some requirements I noticed though, and the requirements are fulfilled in the OS? [20:18] !google - Kitt3n [20:18] I have no google command, use http://www.google.com/ [20:18] well that didn't work. [20:18] !gnu [20:18] G(NU's) N(ot) U(nix). A project that aimed to develop a complete operating system of Free Software, which Ubuntu is based on. See http://gnu.org [20:18] wilee-nilee: I dno. I was able to do an apt-get update and after rebooting it didn't fix anything. [20:18] ShadowBlaze18: they're fulfilled by Canonical [20:19] jrib: it shows what I'm looking for, but doesn't register anything coming in on the few devices it monitors.

[20:19] okay, so no extra work for giving it away, that is all my questions, thank you, reisio [20:19] Afflicto, That just checks you also need apt-get upgrade preferably dist-upgrade [20:19] ShadowBlaze18: you're totally fine :p [20:19] lol [20:20] * ShadowBlaze18 worries a lot [20:20] Afflicto, Do that and check additional drivers, if you don't know where tha is ask. [20:20] that* [20:20] worry when you have something to lose; if you're broke you haven't anything :p [20:20] :p [20:20] reisio: Hi, I am using ubuntu 13.04, but also I have installed KDE.

[20:24] Afflicto, Right, we are getting lost here, I have asked multiple questions and get no answers, this is a circular problem when that happens. Be sure to answer questions as is, and say when you d not understand. I can't guarantee help, but we have to communicate. ;) [20:24] Nobody? [20:24] Oh, yes. I am running into a bug with vino-server (see here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/1196668) and am wondering since on both my computers, even after a reformat on one, the server acts up. After changing the settings via Desktop Sharing, the icon disappears. Basically vino-server just crashes in the background. If anyone would be so kind to invest a little time, could I gain some assistance with either finding [20:24] out how to stop the crashing or a workaround to get remote desktop working. Vinagre terminates when attempting to connect, and cannot see other computers on the local network by the way. [20:24] Launchpad bug 1196668 in vino (Ubuntu) "VNC crashes on startup on Raring" [Undecided,New] [20:24] ShadowBlaze18: trademark license? [20:24] Stepping away. Be back in a minute.

But now I can not get rid of it. (its symbol is blue circle with a white man with stretched arms.) Does anybody know how can I exit from it? It just re-opens when I click on exit!! [20:25] reisio: yeah, the trademark usage rules, I think they are called [20:25] ShadowBlaze18: trademarks are so you can't easily make another item that is in the same genre as the original, with the same or similar name [20:25] for example Linux is trademarked, you can't make something else related to operating systems named 'Linux' without opening yourself up to potentially being sued [20:25] mojtaba, what are you talking about? [20:25] reisio, am i allowed to put on the computer at the garage sale: Ubuntu OS, 512mb RAM, etc.. [20:26] ShadowBlaze18: yes [20:26] hello. anyone have a minute to help me? [20:26] Kitt3n: I have mistakenly run KDE accessible software, and when I close it, it just pops up again. [20:26] live_high5: I did, but I spent a few seconds typing this response, and now I have less [20:26] ShadowBlaze18, You can do what you want and distribute ubuntu as long as you use ubuntu as the source OS in info, unless you remove all Ubuntu references in the OS, then you can call it your own.

[20:27] excuse me,.i have been installed nmap. how to scan open port(open port but not used by me) in my computer?, [20:27] I am a newbie to linux world [20:27] ShadowBlaze18: course you can [20:27] ShadowBlaze18: Canonical owns the name 'Ubuntu' [20:27] mojtaba, reboot your computer, and enter "recovery console" then use the "drop to root shell" option. From there you can uninstall kde. [20:27] I know that [20:27] ShadowBlaze18: if you were to confuse people about what that name entailed, then Canonical would have a trademark case against you [20:28] just installing Ubuntu is not confusing anyone about what Ubuntu is [20:28] Kitt3n: Ok, thank you. I will try that. [20:28] Kitt3n: drop to root shell is a command line? [20:28] why would "ulimit -u 32000" fail? [20:28] Hey guys, I need some serious help, here. I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu (12.04 I believe, whichever version the site said was the supported one and not the newest one), it completed the install completely and when i try to boot up, the screen just starts flashing all crazy and nothing shows up on the screen. [20:28] wilee-nilee: alright sry. No I did not check additional drivers. Let me try that [20:28] mojtaba, yes [20:28] Kitt3n: What command should I use for uninstalling KDE? [20:28] idlemichael: It gives you an error, correct? [20:28] Afflicto, Cool [20:28] ShadowBlaze18: You may want to familiarize yourself with http://www.ubuntu.com/legal [20:28] I receive a "200 stream not found......" error on this one tube flash website and NOT others. I am running ubuntu 12.10 firefox 22.0. can anyone fix this? [20:29] idlemichael: because you have a hard limit preventing that value? [20:29] bekks: yes -- ulimit: Illegal option -u [20:29] *excuse me,.i have been installed nmap. how to scan open port(open port that i'm not use) in my computer?, [20:29] rpdisk: Sometimes older Ubuntu releases have driver issue. How old is this computer? [20:29] ripdisk, sounds like a serious hardware problem [20:29] ShadowBlaze18: but even in that event, Canonical would only care if you were making money, lots of money, off it [20:29] idlemichael: It fails because -u is an illegal option. [20:29] bekks: this is the first time i've ever seen taht -- i've used it before on other installs just fine [20:29] ripdisk: Sometimes older Ubuntu releases have driver issue. How old is this computer? [20:30] reisio: I found something here: http://www.canonical.com/intellectual-property-policy in section 3 that may be a trademark issue for selling something with "Ubuntu" [20:30] ShadowBlaze18: you might like ##law [20:30] I believe my current issue is the difference between having resized the partition and the filesystem...can anyone explain how one expands the partition with root on it? I looked into resize2fs but I've hit a lock [20:30] Kitt3n, if it were a hardware problem, why did the livecd work? [20:30] reisio, lol, do you think it's fine? [20:30] Oh, already found help. [20:30] mikejw_: it's fairly new. [20:30] I receive a "200 stream not found......" error on this one tube flash website and NOT others. I am running ubuntu 12.10 firefox 22.0. how can I fix this? [20:30] Kitt3n: What command should I use for uninstalling KDE? [20:30] ShadowBlaze18: yes it is [20:30] Oh, then in that case, have you tried a live cd of 13.04? [20:31] okay [20:31] mojtaba, apt-get remove kubuntu-desktop [20:31] thank you [20:31] idlemichael: are you using bash...? [20:31] ShadowBlaze18: you talking about the fourth bullet? [20:31] ShadowBlaze18: of section 3? [20:31] Kitt3n: Thank you [20:31] jrib: yes i'm using bash [20:31] no, I used my only blank cd on the version the website said was supported. [20:31] and since the live cd worked, i figured if I installed it would work too. [20:31] ripdisk, try use the livdcd again [20:31] idlemichael: you're sure? [20:32] ok. [20:32] there any other ubuntu channels where you can receive help? [20:32] live_high5: /msg alis list *ubuntu* [20:32] jrib: vagrant@chef-mongdb-berkshelf:~$ echo $SHELL [20:32] /bin/bash [20:32] Just because it's supported doesn't mean it will work all the time. I would set up a temporary install of 13.04 and try that. Maybe you need updated X/drivers. === konna39 is now known as konna38 [20:32] idlemichael: what does your "ulimit -a" output look like? [20:33] why didn't the install just use the same x drivers it used when it booted from livecd? that doesnt make any sense to me. [20:33] jrib: i think you're right actually -- the process that runs this script might not be using bash. if i preceed my script call with bash, instead of sh, it works [20:33] ripdisk, does the livecd WORK now? [20:33] Something may be up with your install. I'm kind of a noob myself, but maybe an update borked something. [20:34] idlemichael: the ulimit in dash seems to use -p instead of -u for process limit [20:34] appears so, so far...just tried booting. [20:34] reisio, no second bullet point [20:34] An_Ony_Moose: are you here? [20:34] at the ubuntu loading screen. [20:35] Maybe it cannot handle 3d Unity. Does it work when you select "Try Ubuntu"? [20:35] jrib: turns out this is coming out of an /etc/init.d/ script -- can i changed the header from #!/bin/sh to #!/bin/bash and not worry? [20:35] I receive a "200 stream not found......" error on this one tube flash website and NOT others. I am running ubuntu 12.10 firefox 22.0. how can I fix this? [20:35] my question seems to have been lost in the shuffle. can someone explain how one expands the filesystem of root? I've hit a lock issue after resizing the partition [20:36] !patience | live_high5 [20:36] live_high5: 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/ [20:36] scheidm: what's the error? [20:36] idlemichael: dash is a lighter shell than bash; as long as you're okay with that, it should be fine [20:36] ok,thx.i have been given answer by linux channel about open port.thx [20:36] okay, just clicked try ubuntu. [20:36] jrib: i'm personally fine using bash, i just want to make sure unix might be ;) thanks for the help! [20:36] ripdisk: Google is your friend. http://askubuntu.com/questions/156329/screen-flickering-in-ubuntu-12-04-lts [20:37] alright yeah, the ''try ubuntu'' button loaded it up just fine [20:37] Is it in Unity 2d? Do you have effects? [20:37] ripdisk: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62001/am-i-using-unity-or-unity-2d [20:38] live_high5, post the url of that. [20:38] reisio, and I'm guessing canonical means modified versions as in source code and not by adding a text or paint file in section 2? [20:38] mikeRL how do I do those steps if I can't boot into ubuntu [20:38] reisio: it said it was unable to obtain a file lock. let me rerun it to give you the exact error [20:38] from the live cd [20:38] You can get into the livecd, right? [20:40] oh ok [20:40] I didn't know things I did on the live cd would effect my install [20:40] wilee-nilee: Ok so I found some proprietary AMD drivers only. [20:40] Hmm. I cannot remember 100%, but I believe the live CD boots into either Unity 2d or Unity CD. No, it won't effect your install. [20:41] ripdisk, it does if you mount the hard drive and edit it the OS from the livecd. [20:41] reisio: device or resource busy while trying to open /dev/sda5 Couldn't find valid filesystem superblock [20:41] Afflicto, In the additional drivers or the web? [20:41] hi friends [20:41] wilee-nilee: the additional drivers. [20:41] I need to download a torrent file [20:41] oh...really strange. the first post talked about how on a laptop when he closed the lid and opened it again the flicker stopped....so i turned my monitor off and now I see the grub screen and the flickering stopped [20:41] ShadowBlaze18: you might enjoy ##law [20:41] Afflicto, Cool that would be my first choice. [20:41] ShadowBlaze18: trademarks are so you cannot _trade_ (make money) on someone else's _mark_ (name/logo) [20:41] reisio, lol [20:41] wilee-nilee: What do you mean web?, shall I google for drivers? [20:41] wtf [20:41] ripdisk: Let me Google this up. [20:41] login screen now, working fine [20:42] ShadowBlaze18: you are two times safe, because not only are you not making money, but you are not calling something 'Ubuntu' that is not Ubuntu [20:42] apparently turning my monitor off and on works.....so i'm gonna follow the steps on this link [20:42] and it is asking me the default program with which I would be downloading the torrent file..... [20:42] how do i select that? [20:42] Could someone suggest me a tool with gui for file transfer via SSH? [20:42] reisio, would making money off of the computer that was advertised as having Ubuntu OS be an issue? [20:42] i need to download a torrent file [20:42] ShadowBlaze18: nope [20:42] Afflicto, Not at this point the term proprietary made me wonder if from amd straight, generally the drivers from the ubuntu repos are all you need, as they have been tweaked and checked to work. [20:43] so now....it sure will be cool if my wifi adapter works just from plugging it in. [20:43] reisio, okay thank you, sorry for all these questions [20:43] ShadowBlaze18: it your right to sell any physical object that you rightfully own to someone else, in virtually any state in the world [20:43] ripdisk: Maybe it needs proprietary drivers. [20:43] wilee-nilee: ok.. [20:43] ripdisk: What is the model of your adapter? [20:43] it worked [20:43] wow [20:43] nice [20:44] ShadowBlaze18: even if it had a copy of Microsoft Windows on it, you could sell it, that is not your problem [20:44] and it is asking me the default program with which I would be downloading the torrent file..... === ubuntu-gnome_ is now known as lichkrieg [20:44] alright [20:44] thank you [20:44] So everything's working now, ripdisk? Always Google first. It's extremely useful. But if you need help, feel free to ask. [20:44] hi [20:44] wilee-nilee: brb 15 min. thanks for help so far. I just need to do something quickjmyl! [20:45] Afflicto, No problem, hope this does it. [20:45] maddy__: hi [20:45] ripdisk: Everything working now? [20:45] and it is asking me the default program with which I would be downloading the torrent file..... [20:45] Rephrasing the question: If you have spare space after the root partition on ubuntu, what is the best way to expand the filesystem into that space? [20:46] @reisio: hello, and where u from ? [20:46] scheidm, gparted on a live cd. [20:46] toshiba: install deluge [20:46] maddy__: Florida, USA [20:46] MikeRL: well, I saw a post on an askubuntu link somebody pasted....and somebody had the same problem on a laptop with it flickerng but it stopped when they closed the lid and opened it....so I turned my monitor off and on, and it worked too. [20:46] scheidm, Turn off the swap as well if on. [20:46] bye, thanks again, reisio [20:46] but there are listed steps to make it to where I don't have to do that. [20:46] ripdisk: What about the adapter? [20:47] ripdisk: There are many results for Googling the issue. If one doesn't work, revert back. [20:47] wilee: I used gparted to resize the partition itself, but the filesystem doesn't recognize the new available space [20:47] mikerl: the network adapter worked as soon as I plugged it in....it was like YO, WIFI NETWORKS DETECTED HOLMES. [20:47] @reisio: sounds great :) [20:48] : it has already transmission bit torrent client inside it [20:48] there are worse places [20:48] ripdisk: Awesome, so everything's fixed. Great. [20:48] toshiba: good to go, then [20:48] but how do i download [20:48] it's asking me to launch an application to download the torrent file [20:48] Torrent? Transmission. Search for it in the Software Center. [20:49] how do I choose the application path? [20:49] Don't worry about that. Install Transmission first. [20:49] I made an encrypted root setup with unencrypted boot partition, but when I boot I get dropped to initramfs with an error saying it took too long waiting for my decrypted root device [20:49] how can I debug what's causing this? [20:49] #list [20:50] toshiba: Have you tried the application yet? [20:50] I have opened in a different process [20:50] beyond resizing the partition itself, what do you need to do to the filesystem to recognize extra space? === rbxs is now known as rbxs|Zzzz [20:52] toshiba: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BitTorrent [20:52] toshiba: Is anything even installed to handle bittorrent files?

See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines [20:55] wilee: aye. #vbox pointed me to resize2fs but I had little luck with that tool [20:55] MikeRL: toshiba said he had transmission [20:55] scheidm, You can rebuild a new machine the size you want and use the vdi. [20:56] Ah. Yes. It was a misunderstanding. But Firefox cannot see the executable. [20:56] ? [20:56] MikeRL: sure it can [20:56] So what is his problem? [20:56] I don't know [20:56] toshiba: do you have a problem? [20:56] I may have came in too late... [20:56] i have a drug problem [20:56] wilee: is is really easier to rebuild and reconfigure a box than to resize a virtual hdd? [20:57] I can go that route, but I figured it would be far more time consuming [20:57] toshiba: Is transmission installed? If it is, I can help you find the executable. [20:57] occ: gj [20:57] Hello evrybody, sorry for my english no extraordinary. I've question, I wanna know why I can't see on my xubuntu from 2 years ago [20:57] video .mov [20:57] ald: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats [20:57] scheidm, Assuming you have an dynamically allocated setup not fixed setuo I would assume as well. === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [20:58] ald, What release of xubuntu? [20:58] For you is a system problem or format problem, cos I, really see vide, but very bad [20:58] hello everybody. [20:58] I said, hello. [20:59] SO yeah. [20:59] Chadman: yeah, 'lo [20:59] wilee: it's a dynamic box, but for some reason the author set it to 8gigs max. hence the need to resize. I just don't know what step 2 is, having resized the partition with gparted [20:59] wilee-nilee: I'm back. I started apt-get upgrade before I left btw. [20:59] how can I use v4l2loopback or mplayer, or webcamstudio to show images on a virtual webam? [20:59] yo reisio, help me out. [20:59] scheidm: frequently that is the last step [20:59] Chadman: ok [20:59] reisio. \m/ lend me a hand, brah. [20:59] righto [20:59] ald, what does this say lsb_release -a [20:59] alas, rebooting still shows 8 gigs of storage [21:00] so how can I, make a cool virtual webcam and like [21:00] display gifs and stuff [21:00] Sorry for repost. I have patience but this was posted over half an hour ago, so you all might have not seen it: Oh, yes. I am running into a bug with vino-server (see here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/1196668) and am wondering since on both my computers, even after a reformat on one, the server acts up. After changing the settings via Desktop Sharing, the icon disappears. Basically vino-server just crashes in the [21:00] background. If anyone would be so kind to invest a little time, could I gain some assistance with either finding out how to stop the crashing or a workaround to get remote desktop working. Vinagre terminates when attempting to connect, and cannot see other computers on the local network by the way. [21:00] Launchpad bug 1196668 in vino (Ubuntu) "VNC crashes on startup on Raring" [Undecided,New] [21:00] like in manycam, manycam makes a virtual-webcam called Manycam-Video [21:00] which can display good stuff like gifs [21:00] movies [21:00] yea [21:00] how can I do that in linux yo. [21:00] Afflicto, You go girl/man, lol [21:00] please help me, or I shall convert to windows man. [21:01] wilee-nilee, all you gotta do is, help me out.

[21:01] Not the dark side. Or should I say, blue side? [21:01] wilee-nilee: man lol [21:01] it really does, dude. [21:01] Chadman, Addressing people in the channel without being addressed is bad. [21:01] wilee-nilee: OH.. lol xD [21:01] so....is there something to download and install software from terminal on ubuntu [21:01] nitrodex, man [21:01] wilee-nilee: thought you were "asking" me. :P [21:01] nitrodex, please help me stick with linux. [21:01] whats up dude [21:02] ;) [21:02] nitrodex, how can i make a virtual-webcam [21:02] and like [21:02] just ask your question [21:02] hi, reisio, you can take videos of Ubuntu right without any needed permission? [21:02] show gifs, images [21:02] I installed kernel 3.2 into precise. why does it show up in grub under "Previous linux versions" which prevents me from setting it to the default? [21:02] How do I make a virtual webcam for linux that will point to images? [21:02] use a webcam utility [21:02] for ubuntu [21:02] so....is there something to download and install software from terminal on ubuntu? [21:02] google for the utility [21:02] like in windows, good ol' manycam makes a virtual-webcam known as manycam-video which can show gif and stuff [21:02] webcamstudio fails hard. [21:02] and when i say hard, i mean really hard [21:02] we are not talking about windows here [21:02] cortexman: Try grub customizer. [21:02] this is #ubuntu [21:02] ShadowBlaze18: course [21:02] we talk about ubuntu [21:02] nitrodex, im giving you a example.

[21:05] i've been asking for help since ages in #ubuntu [21:05] No, itlaian [21:05] had enough of your trolling [21:05] im not trolling dude [21:05] I created an USB installer USB but it didn't install a bootloader [21:05] I've been looking for help even longer. Patience is a virtue. [21:05] gordonjcp, how can i display images on /dev/video8 [21:05] sorry, i meant video0 [21:05] or make a virtual webcam [21:05] and display images/gifs on it. [21:05] ShadowBlaze18: nobody is going to care unless you try to sell it, or pretend that something Ubuntu is not is Ubuntu or vice versa [21:06] I'm reallt disperate for this reason :( [21:06] so....is there something to download and install software from terminal on ubuntu? from repositories? [21:06] Chadman: ooooh wait [21:06] alright, thanks reisio, that will be all my questions for now [21:06] :) [21:06] ripdisk apt-get [21:06] bootloader anyone? [21:06] reisio? [21:06] Chadman: you mean, you want to play back some video, which you then capture as though it was coming from a capture source on /dev/video0? [21:06] wait...wtf, i can't even find the freaking terminal [21:06] !apt-get | ripdisk [21:06] ripdisk: APT is the Advanced Package Tool, which together with dpkg forms the basic Ubuntu package management toolkit. Short apt-get manual: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGetHowto - Also see !Synaptic (Gnome), !Muon (KDE) or !Apper (KDE) [21:07] gordonjcp, example: in windows, manycam creates a virtual-webcam called manycam-video, and people can display images, movies and stuff on it, like a video source, in linux, how can i do that? [21:07] like in omegle, it shows HP-WEBCAM 101 [21:07] ripdisk, Do not swear and hit ctrl-alt-t [21:07] Have you tried Cheese? [21:07] Chadman: not hard of that, I don't know how to use Windows [21:07] since when was freaking a swear word [21:07] /casper/vmlinuz: file not found [21:07] gordonjcp, how can I make a virtual webcam and show images on it?

[21:08] p [21:08] The censors are worse here than in American TV. [21:08] ripdisk, DUDE LOOK AT YOUR POSTS. [21:08] Chadman: looks like you've already found v4l2-loopback [21:08] gordonjcp, how can I use it? [21:08] idiot [21:08] oh [21:08] Chadman: don't know, it's not something I've ever played with [21:08] it's because i dropped the dubyatee eff bomb. [21:08] dont say bomb [21:09] ..

[21:10] Afflicto, That is my limitation, I would start a thread at the ubuntu forums as well, I saw that computer mentioned on the web with other problems must be users there [21:11] So I don't get on anyone's nerves and you all have time to help these guys, I'm going to go do something else now. But every 10 minutes expect me to check back here for an answer. No offense intended. Just know everyone's busy. [21:11] Chadman: to be fair, it's a pretty strange niche case [21:11] !ask | MikeRL [21:11] MikeRL: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [21:11] gordonjcp, how can I point /dev/video0 to display gifs? [21:11] What is Ubuntu's default GTK3 theme? Like /usr/share/themes/(name)...? [21:11] Chadman: I don't know, it's not something many people ever do [21:11] Chadman: because it's such a deeply weirdass question I am actually giving up a chunk of my evening to trying to work it out [21:12] gordonjcp, keep it as a challenge, if you manage to solve it out, you're gonna do 500,000 people a favour. (many people suffer from this problem) [21:12] lol [21:12] habstinat, adwaita [21:12] wilee-nilee: ok thanks a lot, I'll keep trying [21:12] I happily mark this problem, as "Linux's Most Asked Question" [21:12] lol [21:12] "How can I make a virtual webcam and point it to images? [21:12] Chadman: I've never heard of anyone ever trying to play back gifs into a video capture program [21:13] that's a question, that makes linux look like dogshit. [21:13] Afflicto, bummer when it does not work out of the box and with drivers. :( [21:13] Chadman: [21:13] wilee-nilee: Capital or lowercase A in /usr/share/themes/? I don't have Ubuntu and I need to know. [21:13] Chadman: and now you've lost my interest [21:13] gordonjcp: can you help me on this case? [21:13] just gets better and better [21:13] also, please keep the language appropriate in here, Chadman [21:13] Chadman: but as I said, I have seriously never, ever heard of anyone doing that and can't think of a good reason why [21:13] wilee-nilee: yeah :\ [21:14] for what reason do u need gifs in a webcam [21:14] h00k, are you aware of v4l2loopback? [21:14] habstinat, Adwaita [21:14] zipy, omegle. [21:14] i just installed ubuntu and it worked fine, then i installed xp and it worked fine.... now trying to install ubuntu again... but when i type in my username and password during install and click ok... it crashes and i get error "stopping system v runlevel compatibility" [21:14] Chadman: no, not if you're going to make derogatory remarks about Linux like that [21:14] I am interested enough to ask why you need to vid gifs [21:14] Chadman: if it works in Windows, use Windows. [21:14] occ, You can run and remove both of both those dektops in one install. [21:14] u cant put images in a video stream [21:15] why not use and app to capture the gifs on the desktop? [21:15] u may want to overlay ur webcam with images? [21:15] yes zipy [21:15] i want to overlay it. [21:15] occ, oops my bad I saw xubuntu not xp. [21:15] gordonjcp, zipy might be able to solve this situation and do the universe a favor. [21:15] Floppy DIsk is sticked at ubuntu sidebar and nautilus by default. [21:16] occ, Check the md5 of the ubuntu iso you loaded [21:16] >2013 [21:16] >Floppy Disc [21:16] Why? [21:16] u mean like fake hair, hats etc in ur cam? [21:16] columb: does your hardware include a 3.5" drive? [21:16] !enter | columb [21:16] columb: Please try to keep your questions/responses on one line. Don't use the "Enter" key as punctuation! [21:16] Okay. so I have a machine X whose DNS isn't working. X can SSH into Y. Y has internet access. I created an ssh tunnel on X to Y using " ssh -p $port -f -N user@Y -D 25000". I added the "Acquire::http::Proxy "http://localhost:25000" to a newly created /etc/apt/apt.conf. Using apt-config dump confirms that the proxy was loaded. But whenever try and do apt-update, I get Connection Failure. Any thoughts? [21:16] wilee-nilee, the ubuntu dvd is fine, it is the same dvd/iso i used to install ubuntu on this laptop 3 hours ago [21:17] why not do overlay with an app, instead of a clumsy bubblegum and bandaid approach?. [21:17] Chadman: I'm still really not clear on what you're trying to achieve with this [21:17] columb: external storage is shown on the sidebar by default (External USB drives, floppy drives, external SATA drives) [21:18] columb: if they exist. [21:18] zipy, no no, in omegle, i want to troll people. [21:18] and show them gifs of other people. [21:18] like, a video source. [21:18] h00k, I don't have anything to put Floppy disc into. [21:19] columb, that occurs when the floppy interface is enabled in the bios, even when no floppy drive is attached [21:19] columb: your BIOS must be reporting that you do, consider turning it off there, then it shouldn't show up when available [21:19] occ, Have you tried more than once since this has happened and included a reboot, I see that error on the web in numerous circumstances but no real answers. [21:20] yes this is the third time iv tried, rebooted 3 times too [21:20] colomb as it is a default setting, floppy enabled, check all other options in your bios too [21:20] I want my menus to look normal; what problem does indicate? GTK3 theme problem? [21:21] i dont get it because the first time it installed and worked..... but then rebooted and manually deleted all the partitions, then i tried to install ubuntu again and it didnt work and i got the error, so i used an xp recovery disk to format and install xp and it installed and worked ok.... then i tried to install ubuntu again twice and got the error again [21:22] occ, hdd is a SATA disk? [21:22] yyeh a sata. fairly old [21:23] 100gb [21:23] XP needs a bios setting AHCI to ide mode, linux needs native AHCI [21:23] This is to avoid loading sata interfce drivers in XP [21:23] OerHerks: Linux shoult work in IDE mode [21:23] should* [21:24] ximian, not AFAIK, you can install in IDE mode, but need to turn to AHCI to boot [21:24] Chadman, https://hardc0l2e.wordpress.com/2010/01/20/fake-webcam-in-ubuntu-linux/ [21:25] I just installed ubuntu it does not seem to have GUI suppor for some reason [21:25] wluijben: was it the server edition?

[21:31] usercheck_, THis a desktop if so it is end of life. [21:31] puff, Right, but on the channel we have to make sure we are communicating. [21:32] gordonjcp, that i know, the port = data roadway. [21:32] i need help getting my hdmi connection to work with 13.04 on an asus zenbook prime with an intel hd4000 [21:32] usercheck_: okay, but do you know what specifically port 631 does? [21:32] guys [21:33] When remote desktop'ing from windows 7 to 12.04 I only get the background of the linux box and the one icon that is on the desktop. Any idea what is causing this? [21:33] usercheck_: because if you don't know that, how do you know whether or not you should close the port?

[21:34] lozanotux: where're you downloading from, and to? [21:34] tannji, ty will try now [21:34] Ok, since ubuntu is f**ked, anyone reccomend a good distro for web development? [21:34] kurugah_, np. good luck [21:34] Afflicto, Kubuntu [21:34] Afflicto: Ubuntu [21:34] lozanotux, You can search for the fastest ping to repos in software sources.

[21:36] what is the rot dir even called [21:36] is it just / or what [21:36] lozanotux, May be, however checking the pings may get you what you want. [21:36] ripdisk, / [21:36] 1 month ago the download was fast [21:36] i tried chroot / and it says not permited....so i need a pw or what [21:36] No throttle here [21:36] usercheck_: it really doesn't matter, particularly if you're behind a NAT router [21:36] lozanotux, YOu are my favourite type of poster, you have all the answers and ignore help. [21:36] anyone know how to work crypttab? [21:36] ripdisk, sudo chroot?

I'm trying to preserve the microSD card that my TrimSlice (Precise armhf) uses for it's root fs. Obvously my media and nfs mounts are irrelevant. I'm mainly looking for help with the commented lines at the top of the fstab. I've not had a problem with it, I just was hoping for a second pair of eyes to help proofread it [21:37] before I try to boot with it. It's difficult to troubleshoot because the Trimslice is headless. [21:37] my native language is Spanish [21:37] Afflicto: in all seriousness, what problems are you running into doing web dev on Ubuntu? [21:37] Kitt3n, yes. [21:37] and very bad!

[21:37] or not? [21:38] gordonjcp, thx, but i don't know about NAt router. [21:38] After I install Ubuntu can I remove USB? [21:38] yesterday the Ubuntu 12.04 isntallation delay 2 hours [21:38] benbloom: that's a lot of mountpoints; try adding just one or two === Kitt3n is now known as Kitt3n|afk [21:39] Or change BIOS boot? [21:40] someone at #ubuntu-arm suggested that I make symbolic links instead of bind mounts for /opt /usr and /var wwould that work gordonjcp? [21:40] hello [21:41] So, to simplify my question, anyone know how to work around a vino-server bug? [21:41] hidee, hidee, hoe [21:41] I installed ubuntu again, still it didn't install properly. [21:42] This time I installed from newly downloaded and newly created USB installer. [21:42] Damaged installation media perhaps? === hornface is now known as frenocha [21:42] Or bad graphics detection. [21:42] A scratched disk will ruin any chance of anything working. I'm cheap and reuse DVDRWs as much as possible. [21:43] benbloom: I don't know enough about the Trimslice [21:43] are there any really good alternatives to banshee and rhythmbox? [21:43] gordonjcp, thx sir. maybe in the next time i will trying to learning about nat router. but when i'm try netstat -ltnp :i found port 631 state LISTEN.is it also no problem sir? [21:43] usercheck_: is your computer directly connected to the Internet? [21:44] If streaming's your thing, try Nuvola player. [21:44] withnale_: what don't you like about those [21:44] Afflicto: okay, on what hardware? [21:44] Evening [21:45] gordonjcp: packard bell easynote LE [21:45] still need help with my hdmi problem. this is my xrandr output http://pastebin.com/wfXbxb3c === Guest12707 is now known as CyberJacob [21:45] Afflicto: and the keyboard doesn't work *at all*, when you boot with Ubuntu? [21:45] Anybody know about MAAS? [21:45] gordonjcp, mycomputer-->isp->internet, is it correct (not directly) ?) [21:45] gordonjcp: I was able to get into unity GUI via recovery mode and at that point they did work. [21:46] are there any further steps to help me understand why it is not connecting to my monitor? [21:46] reisio: I don't like how banshee manages playlists syncing to devices, and rhythmbox segfaults when I try to sync right now. [21:46] usercheck_: right, but you've got some sort of broadband router, yes? [21:46] Afflicto: have you got an exact model number? [21:46] withnale_: what don't you like about how it manages playlist syncing? [21:46] I was trying clementine but that makes it too hard as well. [21:46] gordonjcp: Let me see.. [21:47] can anybody tell me where the grub cofig file is? [21:47] gordonjcp: EG70bz [21:47] gordonjcp, that you mean "router broadband" in my computer? [21:47] I want to be able to select from a list of all of my playlists when I sync. Banshee only allows you to sync from one playlist, and you have to do some magic with smart playlists to get more than one on the device [21:48] syncing is kind of silly TBH [21:48] clementine looked good for a sec, but I'm thinking I might have to end up with songbird. [21:48] get yourself a device that just reads from ordinary storage [21:48] usercheck_: the box that plugs into the phone line [21:48] is it /boot/grub/grub.conf [21:48] I do have a device that reads ordinary storage. I still want to have a nice drag interface to manage it tho [21:48] like normal [21:49] Afflicto: doesn't *look* like there's anything particularly out-of-the-ordinary with it, although the terms '17"' and 'notebook' don't quite come together for me ;-) [21:49] ripdisk: find /boot/ -iname 'grub*c*f*' [21:49] Anyone here work for Canonical? Or are you all volunteers? Cause to simplify the question further, is anyone even working on vino? Seems to have no bug supervisor. [21:49] gordonjcp, no,i don't have that [21:49] usercheck_: well, it doesn't really matter anyway [21:50] kurugah_, read this, it might point you in the right direction: http://charlesmcruz.wordpress.com/2012/01/22/ubuntu-11-10-automatic-hdmi-toggle-with-audio/ [21:50] gordonjcp: ok.. [21:50] Afflicto: have you tried plugging in an external keyboard? Did it make a difference? [21:50] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino [21:50] tannji ok on it [21:50] balls.songbird is dead [21:50] oh, and [21:50] Okay, different USB stick this time, 3rd try, here we go. [21:50] For Linux. They went evil and made a closed Android app. [21:51] Maybe I should take pictures somehow. [21:51] And upload them. [21:51] does unbutu use vi or [21:51] gordonjcp: No.. let me try that now. (btw my usb mouse works fine tho) [21:51] or gedit [21:51] gordonjcp, ok,sir. i will trying to learn it. thx very much ,sir. === rbxs|Zzzz is now known as rbxs [21:51] Where can I know if ubuntu installation goes succesful ? [21:51] if it works after you install it [21:51] ^ [21:51] No errors during the installer. [21:52] gordonjcp: Ok external keyboard works fine. [21:52] If the installer coughs up errors, you've got a problem. [21:52] I'll take that as a no then :( [21:52] Afflicto: but not the built-in one? [21:52] Let me hit try ubuntu this time. [21:52] gordonjcp: nope. Including the touchpad. [21:52] Nope, same issue, grey top bar. [21:52] how do i set the default text editor to something other than leafpad in xubuntu 12.04 lts? [21:52] Afflicto: well now you are at a point where you can use the external mouse and keyboard to investigate the problem [21:53] WHAT_UP: right click in Thunar [21:53] WHAT_UP: just like every other OS [21:53] Afflicto: which version of Ubuntu are you installing? [21:53] reisio: that doesn't let me set it as the default. [21:54] gordonjcp: I initially tried 13.04 64bit but this time I have 12.04 64bit [21:54] Afflicto: aha, have I just read your question on askubuntu? [21:54] WHAT_UP: you could export EDITOR in ~/.bashrc [21:55] reisio: export EDITOR=gedit doesn't work [21:55] WHAT_UP: you'd probably want it to be a path [21:55] gordonjcp, thx === xubuntu is now known as Guest35940 [21:55] WHAT_UP: http://askubuntu.com/questions/289686/change-xubuntus-default-text-editor-globally [21:55] gordonjcp: hehe most likely :P [21:55] WHAT_UP, I have found that if I right-click a file and choose "open with" and select the text editor I like, it creats a new file type association [21:55] Afflicto: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147324 === Fuchs is now known as pancakes [21:56] Afflicto: that person seems to have found a solution, passing a boot parameter [21:56] reisio: i saw that. they file they say to modify below a certain line does not exist [21:56] that might not help tho [21:56] When remote desktop'ing from windows 7 to 12.04 I only get the background of the linux box and the one icon that is on the desktop. Any idea what is causing this? [21:56] WHAT_UP: if you don't want to use leafpad, uninstall it [21:56] tannji: it lists my first choice as a recommended application, but still opens it with leafpad [21:56] gordonjcp: i see! I'm reading it [21:56] WHAT_UP, ah [21:56] Afflicto: skip to the bottom [21:57] Afflicto: it's not like you're going to spoil the story [21:57] reisio: that works, but it seems like a bad solution. what if i want to use it some time in the future? it seems weird to require un/re-installing [21:58] WHAT_UP: there's probably a better way, yes [21:58] the package manager does certain magic whenever you install or uninstall things [21:58] I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with dpkg/etc. to tell you what that magic is [21:58] gordonjcp: haha! ok, I see. booting with parameters. how do I do that? [21:58] Anyone know the answer? This place is hella busy and my question was so complex that I doubt the answer is easy. [21:58] WHAT_UP, it doesnt require uninstalling, but the other solution is to edit that line and create ALL associations by hand [21:59] MikeRL: 'how to work around a vino-server bug?'? [21:59] Afflicto: when you boot up, hold down right-shift to get the grub menu, press "e" to edit the command line, and type that parameter at the end [21:59] reisio: Ah, yes. Thanks. === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [21:59] Do you need me to repharase it? [21:59] http://postimg.org/image/ahyk0i2jl/ [21:59] MikeRL: to something useful, yes [21:59] Afflicto: I am guessing you have at least two machines there, including the one you can't get to work properly? [21:59] Sucky spelling on my part. [21:59] Can you see the grey top bar in this image? [21:59] The issue is the server for vino on both. [22:00] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/1196668 [22:00] Launchpad bug 1196668 in vino (Ubuntu) "VNC crashes on startup on Raring" [Undecided,New] [22:00] WHAT_UP, instead of right click "open with " do right click choose "properties" then the " open with " tab -select application to open with on the list or add and set as default ...change it to what ever you want when you want that way [22:00] It messes up and crashes with I believe memory corruption after I change the settings under Desktop Sharing. [22:00] wilee-nilee: http://postimg.org/image/ahyk0i2jl/ this is enough details? [22:01] gordonjcp: yeah. I'm at the command line parameter thing now. [22:01] Morph4me: there is no "set as defualt" option there [22:01] MikeRL: does it crash or "not work"? [22:01] it can't be both [22:01] tannji, cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status outputs disconnected and trying xrandr --output HDMI1 --auto does nothing [22:01] MikeRL: you could try another server, like tigervnc [22:01] Crash shortly after connecting. [22:01] Never mind, shortly after starting the server. [22:02] Even after a reformat the issue persists. It was a bug in Oneiric and earlier releases and still isn't solved, unfortunately. [22:02] MikeRL: does it crash when you press a key or button? [22:02] yes, I read your bug... [22:02] no need to repeat it all here [22:03] kurugah_, that link I sent you had the script that guy wrote to fix the issue. it sounded like his toggle script would solve your hdmi issue [22:03] As soon as I open desktop sharing, the server crashes and the icon for Desktop sharing disappears, despite being set to always on. [22:03] wluijben, I have not followed your posts have you run a update and upgrade and checked additional drivers and if so also posted you graphic card info? [22:03] MikeRL: as soon as you open it, or as soon as you click or press any button? [22:04] The server crashing also has been ocurring whenever I want to connect to another Ubuntu PC. [22:04] MikeRL: what are you trying to do with vino? Remote desktop access isn't really a thing that people do much, on unix-y OSes === rbxs is now known as rbxs|Zzzz [22:04] gordonjcp: which is why it's included by default? :p [22:04] Shortly after opening it. I'm trying to connect one Ubuntu PC to the other over VNC. [22:04] WHAT_UP, must be a 12.04 miss they have it for 13.04 >http://i.imgur.com/k5tMv9m.png [22:04] reisio: it's a weird one, eh [22:04] wluijben, the prtsc key will give you a clear picture to post in an imagebin. [22:04] how can I install php 5.5 on ubuntu [22:04] I don't think it's part of the official repository [22:04] gordonjcp: impossible to say until he starts answering questions [22:05] hell, I don't even think 5.4 is on ther [22:05] there [22:05] reisio: ye [22:05] Morph4me: he wants one for all file types [22:05] Why I'm doing it? Someone in the family has got their Windows 7 install infected with toolbars and viruses. I'm cleaning it out remotely. [22:05] Morph4me: not each individually [22:05] the script is detecting the connection with cat /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status and uses xrandr to toggle the state i tried that manually [22:05] MikeRL: okay, so don't you need a vino *client* on the Ubuntu machine? [22:05] reisio, kk ;) [22:06] so i dont think it is going to help me [22:06] WHAT_UP: oh.... dude [22:06] gordonjcp: omg IT WORKED! =D [22:06] Nope, it's all vino-server issues, which makes the vinagre client disconnect [22:06] reisio: ? [22:06] WHAT_UP: you might want like, xdg-settings [22:06] Afflicto: okay so now you need to look into modifying your grub config to always have that [22:06] Afflicto: but you can use google and the Ubuntu wiki, right? ;-) [22:06] The connection is terminated right after connecting. [22:07] kurugah_, ah, gotcha... so the script is setup as executable, but fails to output to hdmi? [22:07] gordonjcp: I googled how to add parameters. yes indeed, I think this post mentions that as well, so yeah. thanks alot! [22:07] wluijben, IF you get questions or anything you do not understand let us know it is no biggie. ;) [22:07] yes [22:07] Afflicto: good show. Hope the web dev stuff goes well for you. [22:07] Afflicto: what sort of web development are you doing? [22:07] and i tried to do the stoff manually aswell with no effect [22:07] stuff [22:07] reisio: that looks like it might be it. thanks! [22:08] Odd how this bug reappeared. I thought the Gnome people would have run into it and fixed it by now. [22:08] man what the HECK dude....it's doing the flickering thing, but for some reason it is completely skipping grub and just booting up === pancakes is now known as Fuchs [22:08] I would try some searching at the ubuntu forums then... it seems to be a common issue [22:08] WHAT_UP: either that or xfconf-query [22:09] WHAT_UP: if those don't do what you want, it's back to the drawing board methinks [22:09] what would cause my system to completely skip grub [22:09] ripdisk: is ubuntu the only OS installed¿ [22:09] tannji: The flicker or the vino issues? [22:09] MikeRL: but if it's a vino-server issue, then presumably that's a server issue with it running on Windows and not really an Ubuntu problem [22:09] yes [22:10] ripdisk: just keep Shif pressed when it boots :) [22:10] gordonjcp: The other computer is running Ubuntu. [22:10] MikeRL: also, it's vino running on a *compromised system* so all bets are off [22:10] They're both running Ubuntu. [22:10] MikeRL: you just said it was running Windows 7 [22:10] Shift * ripdisk [22:10] MikeRL, my bad, was talking to kurugah_ [22:10] MikeRL: so if it's running Ubuntu, why do you need vino? [22:11] gordonjcp: PHP basically. I like frontend stuff too. working on a CSS & jQuery framework atm :P [22:11] Oh, no. The computer I want to connect to runs 7. I've tested VNC on both my Ubuntu installs, ie connecting the laptop to desktop, both running Ubuntu. But it was a massive convenience to connect to the desktop. [22:11] vino is the default server. [22:11] for vnc. [22:11] Afflicto: well you should be able to pretty much replicate your server on your laptop, which makes testing dead easy [22:11] gordonjcp: :) [22:11] tannji, i was on the ubuntu forums all day it is a common problem but there was no solution [22:11] :( [22:12] xangua that didn't seem to work. [22:13] Afflicto: have you used vagrant? [22:13] THERE. [22:13] It can connect to a Windows machine fine, but the issue still remains the server for vino crashes on Ubuntu. === emcee is now known as Guest18715 [22:13] Reinstalls, reformats, etc. have not fixed anything. [22:14] MikeRL: well, they wouldn't, would they? [22:14] MikeRL: why would reformatting and reinstalling cause it to work any differently? [22:14] ok, I have tried EVERYTHING i can find on google....and no matter what, the live cd works PERFECTLY and yet when i try to boot, it just flickers. [22:14] ripdisk: what flickers? [22:14] It's a bug. And I have no clue why it came up and didn't exist for the month a was running vino-server. [22:15] my screen [22:15] it won't do anything [22:15] i can't see anything [22:15] kurugah_, what I personally would do is wait. I think some of these issues will resolve or change to new ones with the next release, xMIR should make our lives really interesting [22:15] Think I figured out my problem (at least I hope so) [22:15] gordonjcp: no but I might have heard of it [22:15] Was using wrong settings in pen drive installer. [22:15] kurugah_, have you tried going to bios and shutting off the native screen and forcing hdmi? [22:15] gordonjcp: Can you make any sense of the error on my bug report? If not does anyone work with vino and can patch this eventually? [22:16] tannji, i dont think there is an option for this but ill check [22:16] wilee-nilee: How to make screenshot on disfunctional PC! [22:16] does anyone know if there are any debhelper commands to download and configure dependencies? i'm compiling a project that includes a third-party feature, and i need to have debuild download and configure the third-party code [22:17] the waiting thing is probably the right way to go, but in the meantime i have to uninstall ubuntu and use another os since i have to use it for presentations [22:17] sad... [22:17] kurugah_, ouch... feel ya man [22:17] gordonjcp: Making any sense? I just want to know what's causing the crash and if anyone will fix it since there's no bug supervisor. [22:18] nvm, i'll just include the code in my source [22:18] MikeRL: I didn't see the url for the bug report, can you post it again? [22:18] kurugah_, look in bios first.... some laptops have external display options there [22:18] ill check now [22:18] Sure: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/vino/+bug/1196668 [22:18] Launchpad bug 1196668 in vino (Ubuntu) "VNC crashes on startup on Raring" [Undecided,New] [22:19] after i go to bed ty for your help tannji [22:19] kurugah_, np man... hope it works out for you [22:19] MikeRL: what happens if you delete the directory containing the vino settings in your homedir? [22:19] Where is that? [22:20] I've tried deleting any vino folder. But I may have missed somethin. [22:20] it would be in your homedir if it was anywhere [22:21] gordonjcp: Vinagre settings, but nada for Vino. [22:21] MikeRL: that looks like a perfectly okay bug report, and contains something that would point me at where to look if I was going to debug it [22:21] MikeRL: so someone who actually knows how vino is supposed to work might well be able to make use of that [22:21] Anyone know why I cant get mysql to recognize file permissions? [22:21] gordonjcp: Do you know if anyone will work on it? There's no bug supervisor. [22:21] MikeRL: no idea, it's not something I can ever see a use for [22:22] No use for vino? [22:23] Any way I can draw attention to this issue? It is making remote desktop completely unusable. [22:23] hey [22:23] gordonjcp: Any way I can draw attention to this issue? It is making remote desktop completely unusable. [22:23] i have this weird bug where the console font is not always the same from boot to boot [22:24] MikeRL: pass it back to the vino developers maybe? [22:24] gordonjcp: Can I offer a bounty? I've donated and offered bounties for bugfixes before. [22:24] so i was wondering if there a way to know wich font is in use to compare to console-setup [22:25] or how to set up a font manualy to comapre [22:25] gordonjcp: Do you even know where the developers are? [22:25] MikeRL: nope [22:26] MikeRL: I have never used vino and cannot realistically see a use for it [22:26] MikeRL i guess the developers do not want to be disturbed for trouble shooting or support [22:26] 这个频道里可以说中文吗？ [22:26] !cn [22:26] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [22:26] gordonjcp: They have an area to report bugs.

[22:35] no i'm not talking about eh font of the ssh window i could be using [22:35] because this would make no sens [22:35] roger21: by default, Ubuntu desktop launches with X (the GUI) [22:36] roger21: Ubuntu server (from what I understand) doesn't have X [22:36] roger21, NO I'm trying to understand the whole context, and I realize I am no help to you, we are not communicating, best of luck.

[22:52] thans [22:52] i can't just add it when i open grub and press e? [22:52] i would make sure you've got it write before you go editing these files though, becuase if it's not and you `update-grub`, your system will likely be unbootable [22:52] Uhg, I can't find anything, anywhere, stating how long of a string I can store in an environment variable. My Google Foo is weak today. Anyone know? [22:52] yep [22:52] yewah ses [22:52] ..

I have python programming experiance(maybe it's a programming thing) [22:57] ald, as we already stated... we need to know more about your machine. What is the graphics card you are using? [22:57] It should be something very simple like cat /dev/line-out > out.wav but what is it?
