| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: https://dpaste.de/4WbP4/ | 00:00 |
| rlw | thanks for the link but that does't work | 00:00 |
| rlw | not helpful | 00:00 |
| Kitt3n | rlw, 'what' doesn't work? | 00:00 |
| rlw | it's jargon | 00:00 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: ensure you have backups if you don't already. Then you can try to downgrade python | 00:00 |
| Kitt3n | rlw, what? | 00:00 |
| rlw | Kitt3n: it's Jargon | 00:01 |
| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: Nothing important is on here (Wubi install), so how can I downgrade Python?? | 00:01 |
| whoever_ | rlw: if you don't give a reason or something other than "I need help, " we can not help | 00:01 |
| Kitt3n | rlw, I don't understand what you're talking about, but that link explains how to install xfprot. | 00:01 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: try « sudo apt-get install python=2.7.3-0ubuntu7.1 » | 00:01 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: is "python" the only package you installed? | 00:02 |
| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: It won't let me do apt-get install: E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). | 00:02 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: pastebin full input and output | 00:02 |
| whoever_ | rlw: so what doesn't work on or with xfprot, | 00:02 |
| rlw | Whoever_: Hello there, here is what I need to do here is what i've done so far: XFPROT is a graphical frontend to the F-Prot Antivirus(TM) for Linux Download the latest version from here sudo wget http://web.tiscali.it/sharp/xfprot/xfprot-1.18.tar.gz sudo tar xzvf xfprot-1.18.tar.gz cd xfprot-1.18 sudo ./configure --with-sudo --autodetect --without-debug --with-install-dir=/usr/local sudo make sudo checkinstall Once this finishes | 00:02 |
| captine | Hi all. Just checking. I was able to pick up a macbook 2013 model using points on credit card, but am wanting to ask if anyone has successfully run ubuntu on it (not in a VM but native). Wanting to get rid of osx if possible | 00:03 |
| jrib | !mac | captine | 00:03 |
| ubottu | captine: For help on installing and using Ubuntu on a mac, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MactelSupportTeam/CommunityHelpPages | 00:03 |
| Kitt3n | rlw, what do you need help with? | 00:03 |
| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: https://dpaste.de/sOdhF/ | 00:03 |
| * whoever_ i knew it, he can say more then "hellp " | 00:03 | |
| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: thanks for taking the time to try and help btw | 00:03 |
| rlw | I need to install to if you understand I'm a expert on Windows Platform, but I wanted a change Kitt3n, but anyways | 00:04 |
| rlw | can you help to install it | 00:04 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: try installing the 2.7.3-0ubuntu7 version instead. You may have not been up to date when you installed your custom version | 00:04 |
| Kitt3n | rlw, the page says EXACTLY how you need to do it? | 00:04 |
| rlw | IWhich one | 00:04 |
| captine | jrib: thanks. from that, I am guessing no one has documented using it on my model. | 00:04 |
| Kitt3n | captine, why did you buy a mac anyway? | 00:05 |
| rlw | It's JARGON!!!! | 00:05 |
| holstein | rlw: what do you need help with? | 00:05 |
| whoever_ | rlw: this tells you exactly how to install it, and how to sym-lynk so that it will work https://help.ubuntu.com/community/XFProt | 00:05 |
| captine | Kitt3n: was leaving the Philippines and when closing my credit card, they told me i had $500 worth of points and the mac store was the only tech store to use it on… hence, got $500 off | 00:06 |
| jrib | captine: it should just be a matter of grabbing the iso with mac support (http://releases.ubuntu.com), booting a dvd, and following the instructions. But I cannot say I have personal experience with your model | 00:06 |
| rlw | ok | 00:06 |
| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: I think it worked... It did a downgrade and now I can apt-get install other stuff! Thanks so much! | 00:06 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: no problem. You're aware python 3.3 is in the repositories as "python3"? | 00:07 |
| captine | Kitt3n: my old laptop (Acer i7) is in the container in transit. Also have a mac mini server which I bought just for the size of it… but need to also get ubuntu or proxmox running headless on it | 00:07 |
| captine | jrib: thanks. I will try the install once I have a drive to backup to, and will try see if anything breaks... | 00:07 |
| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: I wasn't at the time but I am now. I think I tried "install python3" and it kept me on Python 3.2 but that might've been because I had to update/upgrade something-or-other | 00:08 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: are you on ubuntu 13.04? | 00:08 |
| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: 12.10 | 00:08 |
| jrib | !info python3 quantal | 00:09 |
| ubottu | python3 (source: python3-defaults): interactive high-level object-oriented language (default python3 version). In component main, is important. Version 3.2.3-5ubuntu1.2 (quantal), package size 31 kB, installed size 214 kB | 00:09 |
| Kitt3n | captine, the best solution is to stay away from Mac at all costs | 00:09 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: yeah looks like you'll only get 3.2 then. You can compile it, but I would recommend just doing it as your user and keeping it in $HOME. | 00:10 |
| captine | Kitt3n: Noted. Will look at Lenovo next, as my work machine installed ubuntu perfectly just before i handed it back | 00:10 |
| ickers | Folks, can anyone point me at an official page somewhere which defines what "support" means for Ubuntu LTS releases? | 00:10 |
| leo-the-manic_ | jrib: There is a python3.3 package that I was able to download | 00:11 |
| jrib | ickers: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LTS | 00:11 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: ok | 00:11 |
| dasuda | how do I connect to by windows VPS in linux? | 00:11 |
| dasuda | ubuntu | 00:11 |
| jrib | leo-the-manic_: just make sure it doesn't overwrite the default python | 00:11 |
| jrib | dasuda: how do you connect to windows VPS in windows? | 00:12 |
| dasuda | using a remote to desktop client I believe | 00:12 |
| Kitt3n | captine, Macs are designed to not accept anything but Apple OS | 00:12 |
| jrib | dasuda: so use a remote desktop client ;) | 00:12 |
| dasuda | jrib: ok | 00:12 |
| dasuda | jrib: know of any :)? | 00:12 |
| captine | yip. I know. just love the look of the hardware... | 00:12 |
| dasuda | I could not find much in the software center | 00:12 |
| dasuda | thats why I am asking | 00:13 |
| jrib | dasuda: I can't recommend any offhand but if you search for "remote desktop" you should see a few candidates | 00:13 |
| whoever_ | Kitt3n: nativly yes, but you can run them in a vm | 00:13 |
| jrib | dasuda: apt-cache search remote desktop | 00:13 |
| whoever_ | jrib: remote-desktop | 00:13 |
| dasuda | ok thanks | 00:14 |
| jrib | dasuda: I think vinagre is the default one | 00:14 |
| dasuda | coool | 00:15 |
| moksud_xp | I tried the code to update my packages... but Ubuntu tell me System Error 11 | 00:16 |
| jrib | moksud_xp: you should pastebin full input and output | 00:17 |
| moksud_xp | how I can do it? | 00:17 |
| jrib | !pastebin | moksud_xp | 00:17 |
| ubottu | moksud_xp: 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. | 00:17 |
| moksud_xp | I don't have a GUI on Ubuntu | 00:17 |
| ickers | thx jrib, had found that page. Looking for something a bit more specific. eg. if PHP 5.3 reaches end of life before Ubuntu Server 12.04 LTS what happens to security updates? | 00:18 |
| ickers | Will security fixes for PHP 5.4 be backported to PHP 5.3 by the ubuntu team? | 00:18 |
| moksud_xp | Anyway the error was that ubuntu cannot resolve the web address... | 00:18 |
| jrib | ickers: in general security fixes will be cherry-picked. I'm not sure where you can go to get confirmation on that though | 00:19 |
| jrib | ickers: you might see if there's a relative mailing list you can poke (http://lists.ubuntu.com) | 00:19 |
| jrib | erm, s/relative/relevant | 00:20 |
| jrib | moksud_xp: are you physically at the ubuntu machine without a gui or are you connected to it over ssh from a machine with a gui? | 00:20 |
| ickers | jrib: ok, thanks, probably why I can't find anything | 00:20 |
| jrib | !sru | ickers | 00:20 |
| ubottu | ickers: Stable Release Update information is at http://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates | 00:20 |
| jrib | ickers: might be some pointers for you there including where to go to get some more info | 00:21 |
| moksud_xp | I phisically installed Ubuntu on my HDD | 00:21 |
| draconus | used: 666G < scary... | 00:21 |
| moksud_xp | now I'm on my SSD that run Windows | 00:21 |
| jrib | moksud_xp: so you are connecting to ubuntu through ssh from your windows machine? | 00:22 |
| moksud_xp | nah | 00:22 |
| jrib | moksud_xp: so you are physically running back and forth between the two computers? Or are you rebooting a single machine? | 00:22 |
| moksud_xp | normally I need to restart My PC and choose SSD or HDD to switch from windows to ubuntu or viceversa | 00:22 |
| moksud_xp | reeboting a single machine | 00:23 |
| jrib | moksud_xp: it will be hard to troubleshoot with you then since rebooting is annoying. You should get on irc while on ubuntu | 00:23 |
| ickers | ubottu, jrib: that looks like what I am looking for! Great :-) | 00:23 |
| ubottu | ickers: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:23 |
| moksud_xp | It's why I decided to install GUI and Chrome on Ubuntu... | 00:23 |
| moksud_xp | how can I solve the problem of updating package? | 00:25 |
| jrib | moksud_xp: write down your full error and then type it up then | 00:25 |
| moksud_xp | okey, I'll do it tomorrow | 00:26 |
| moksud_xp | now I need to go | 00:26 |
| moksud_xp | thanks a lot jrib | 00:26 |

| hailwood | Hi Guys, My ubuntu install just went up the creek, so I am looking to do a complete re-do of my hard drive, it's a 500Gb, I am wanting to triple boot, Windows 8, Ubuntu 13.04, and a play partition (Fedora at this stage, but may change, will always be a linux distro though). Due to the 4 primary only, issue I am looking to use LVM but have no idea how, so I am hoping someone can give me some pointers, or a real easy guide? | 00:45 |
| === Devcoder is now known as Senerem | ||
| gartral | hey all, I'm in a jam and I hosed Grub, I've done grub-install after chroot'ing my drive, but what on earth happened to setup-grub/grub-setup? | 00:46 |
| Kitt3n | gartral, what? | 00:47 |
| holstein | gartral: try https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 00:47 |
| === neo31 is now known as Neo31 | ||
| gartral | hailwood: LVM is supported "out of the box" by nearly every distro.. if you keep the two root partitions in an LVM it should "just work" | 00:47 |
| gartral | holstein: I need a command-line only method, right now I'm stuck using a serial console. | 00:48 |
| gartral | holstein: (don't ask.. flakey graphics card) | 00:48 |
| holstein | gartral: you do that from a live cd | 00:48 |
| Kitt3n | ^ | 00:48 |
| mint__ | yop | 00:48 |
| holstein | gartral: you can use nomodeset from that live CD with a flaky whatever | 00:48 |
| gartral | holstein: I know, but i can't boot a window manager | 00:48 |
| mint__ | \set nick PLEXXirssi | 00:49 |
| pfifo | ehlo | 00:49 |
| gartral | holstein: let me rephrase that, my graphics card is BURNT. Blackened. Will Not Work. | 00:49 |
| mint__ | wow what and epic fail | 00:49 |
| gartral | mint__: we've all done it | 00:50 |
| holstein | gartral: so, you want to ssh into the machine? from another? i would take the hard drive to another machine and service it | 00:50 |
| gartral | holstein: I can't. I don't have another machine that can use IDE. | 00:50 |
| hailwood | gartral, so If I install Windows 8, that should use two primary partitions due to it's system reservered for boot; then install Ubuntu, there should be an option to use a single LVM partition which should create two LV's one for the system and one for swap on that single partition? then same for fedora? | 00:51 |
| gartral | seriously though, I need to setup grub from the command line | 00:51 |
| holstein | !grub | gartral | 00:52 |
| ubottu | gartral: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 | 00:52 |
| hailwood | gartral, So the whole install should only use three primary partitions, is my thinking there correct? | 00:52 |
| Kitt3n | hailwood, are you on an EFI computer? | 00:52 |
| c|oneman | Is it normal that sirq % is not taken into account whan calculating CPU load, in TOP? | 00:52 |
| samy_ | alguien q sepa de controladoras raid? tengo un adaptec 1220SA | 00:52 |
| hailwood | Kitt3n, I believe it's EFI capable, but I don't think it uses it... | 00:52 |
| samy_ | algua ayuda para porder ver los dispositivos conectados? | 00:52 |
| reisio | samy_: #Ubuntu-es | 00:53 |
| Kitt3n | hailwood, check it out, if it's EFI *based* switch it to EFI, and install Windows 8 in EFI and Ubuntu in EFI mode. | 00:53 |
| Kitt3n | hailwood, and keep the playground to a VIRTUAL machine so you don't damage your computer. | 00:53 |
| pfifo | Unless its a samsung laptop, then dont use efi | 00:53 |
| gartral | hailwood: you could do that, or do what I've done, where I have 3 Linux root partitions in a single LVM, my /home and swap are physical partitions, and my recovery OS is in it's own partition | 00:53 |
| Kitt3n | hailwood, EFI also doesn't limit you to 4 primary partitions because of GPT. | 00:54 |
| reisio | how many OSes do you need... | 00:54 |
| Kitt3n | pfifo, eeeeh, why so? Did Samsung go ahead and do more shit? | 00:54 |
| Kitt3n | reisio, I say one OS is enough. | 00:54 |
| reisio | and I | 00:54 |
| reisio | particularly installed to metal | 00:54 |
| gartral | reisio: FreeBSD, Ubuntu, a "play around" partition, and my recovery is an install of UBCD | 00:55 |
| reisio | sorry that was rhetorical, nobody needs more than one :p | 00:55 |
| gartral | holstein: I've done that, and I get dropped to a grub recovery CLI | 00:56 |
| holstein | gartral: thats where you want to be.. that is CLI for recovery.. you can also try the first information i linked, and do it from a live CD in the terminal | 00:56 |
| gartral | reisio: unless you game seriously, and code, in which case you need 2, Windows 7, and a Linux Distro | 00:56 |
| reisio | nah :p | 00:57 |
| holstein | !steam | 00:57 |
| ubottu | Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 00:57 |
| gartral | holstein: barely 2% of the serious games on steam have been ported | 00:57 |
| Kitt3n | Who needs M$ and their garbage. | 00:57 |
| gartral | Kitt3n: really, no one | 00:57 |
| holstein | gartral: check out the steam channel or the offtopic channel to discuss games | 00:57 |
| Kitt3n | gartral, that's why you give your best to force the big companies to port their games to Linux. | 00:58 |
| hailwood | Hmm, I am rather confused now... I guess I need to go research efi now... | 00:58 |
| reisio | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 00:58 |
| gartral | hailwood: EFI is great, most systems from 2011+ have it | 00:58 |
| saiarcot895 | gartral: Kitt3n: unfortunately, some niche software is available only for Windows, and some PDF (in all the creators' brilliance) can only be read by Adobe Reader X | 00:58 |
| gartral | holstein: ok | 00:59 |
| reisio | yeah, EFI makes it so that BIOS configuration menu... has graphics | 00:59 |
| reisio | boom amazing | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | hailwood, Here is a ubuntu forum help on uefi installs. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 00:59 |
| Kitt3n | reisio, oh it does way more than that :3 | 00:59 |
| gartral | saiarcot895: got an example? | 00:59 |
| reisio | Kitt3n: heheh | 00:59 |
| gartral | holstein: so I'm at the point where I have a grub recovery CLI, NOW what | 01:00 |
| saiarcot895 | gartral: See the PDFs on this page: https://www.utdallas.edu/career/statistics/#results | 01:00 |
| saiarcot895 | gartral: As for the software, well, there's Wine and Mono | 01:01 |
| Kitt3n | saiarcot895, give me 3 examples of software that is only available in Windows without any Linux alternatives. | 01:01 |
| saiarcot895 | Kitt3n: Google Sketchup (for modelling in Google Earth), Zacks Research Wizard, and I don't have a third one (Lexmark Imaging Studio? although that's not needed) | 01:02 |
| reisio | I'd settle for one | 01:02 |

| Kitt3n | Hi randomnick_! :) | 01:03 |
| randomnick_ | sudo apt-get install gimp | 01:03 |

| randomnick_ | Building dependency tree | 01:03 |

| holstein | gartral: this looks pretty current http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/grub.html | 01:03 |
| reisio | holstein: for GRUB legacy? | 01:04 |
| holstein | reisio: link something else if you have it | 01:04 |
| reisio | I'm asking | 01:04 |
| reisio | does he need something for 2? | 01:05 |
| randomnick_ | uhh, im sorry | 01:05 |
| reisio | or for legacy? | 01:05 |
| holstein | reisio: its for gartral .. he *cant* use a GUI | 01:05 |
| randomnick_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5845325/ please help me install gimp:( | 01:05 |
| reisio | k... but which grub does he need help with | 01:05 |
| reisio | gartral: do you ^ | 01:05 |
| Kitt3n | reisio, most likely grub-pc | 01:05 |
| holstein | should look like https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows#The_terminal_way ..which i already linked | 01:06 |
| reisio | gartral: you're at a grub prompt? does it say the version? | 01:06 |
| pfifo | randomnick_, can you pastebin the output of 'lsb_release -sd && cat /etc/apt/sources.list' | 01:06 |
| randomnick_ | pfifo: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5845328/ | 01:07 |
| booh | I have 2 Ubuntu Server link with site-site vpn. I want to backup site1 server to site2 server. Wich backup solution should I install? I have samba sharing. I don't know if I would want mirror site or archiving... What is your suggestion? | 01:07 |
| pfifo | randomnick_, you need to add the universe repo to your sources.list | 01:08 |
| draconus | booh i'm not into vpn at all, what does it mean site-site vpn? two machines acting like virtually one and sharing filesystems etc? | 01:08 |
| randomnick_ | could you please tell me how can i do that? | 01:09 |
| holstein | !universe | 01:09 |
| ubottu | The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 01:09 |
| pfifo | randomnick_, heres a good sources.list that adds everything and akitchen sink, replace your /etc/apt/sources.list with this and then run 'sudo apt-get update' | 01:11 |
| pfifo | randomnick_, http://fpaste.org/23141/72986642/ | 01:11 |
| randomnick_ | E: Some index files failed to download. They have been ignored, or old ones used instead. | 01:15 |
| booh | draconus, site-site vpn is a tunnel establish between two network so server2 is seen as on the LAN... but with a slower connexion... | 01:15 |
| pfifo | randomnick_, try installing gimp now | 01:15 |
| booh | draconus you can consider both servers are on the same LAN. But in fact, one is on another physical site... | 01:15 |
| tannji | what would be the terminal command to install "lib32stdc++"? | 01:16 |
| booh | draconus I told about vpn just to notice the link between both servers are not as fast as the LAN... about 1mbps instead of 1000mbps... | 01:16 |
| reisio | tannji: ask apt-file | 01:16 |
| draconus | booh thank you very much, it all sounds great | 01:17 |
| randomnick_ | pfifo: thank you:)) | 01:17 |
| draconus | besides the link speed of course :) but assuming that those are 2 dedicated servers on 100mbit+ lines... that would be so cool | 01:17 |
| tannji | reisio, thanks, but can you elaborate a little? dumb it down slightly.. and be a little condescending if you have to = ) | 01:17 |
| pfifo | randomnick_, you might neeed to change the entries that have 'security' in them from archive.ubuntu.com to security.ubuntu.com to get rid of the error your saw | 01:18 |
| brontosaurusrex | tannji, apt-cache search lib32stdc < see what this gives | 01:18 |
| reisio | tannji: sudo apt-get install apt-file, then run it | 01:19 |
| brontosaurusrex | tannji, then install the one without "debugging" | 01:19 |
| tannji | reisio, right, thanks = ) | 01:19 |
| booh | draconus yes. It's easy to do with pfsense gateway/router... | 01:19 |
| booh | Anyway, now my focus is how I should backup one server to the other one... | 01:20 |
| tannji | brontosaurusrex, apt-cache search returned nothing | 01:21 |
| brontosaurusrex | tannji, uname -r < says what? | 01:22 |
| draconus | booh oh so that's hardware | 01:23 |
| tannji | brontosaurusrex, 3.2.0-35-generic | 01:23 |
| Corey | draconus: You can run pfsense virtualized. | 01:23 |
| draconus | booh i might be able to help with suggestion of creating a backup using dd | 01:24 |
| draconus | Corey that sounds great | 01:24 |
| alexandros_c | hello, is there a way to run ncurse application as if they were regular applications? I notice that ubuntu run htop as if it is a gui application. Is there a way to get weechat-curses to run like that? | 01:24 |
| brontosaurusrex | tannji, dunno then | 01:25 |
| reisio | alexandros_c: hrmm? | 01:25 |
| draconus | booh that's what i did today - i had to move 1TB of data from one drive to another but it could as well be another machine... i was adviced to use dd to create images of whole partitions - in your case you could then just recreate exactly same partitions on that other machine | 01:25 |
| pfifo | draconus, sounds like bad advice, I would have recommended rsync to save a boat load of time | 01:26 |
| pfifo | s/boat/freightliner/ | 01:26 |
| draconus | pfifo depends if that's one time or backup on a regular basis... if regular than of course rsync | 01:27 |
| reisio | draconus: who're you talking to? | 01:27 |
| alexandros_c | reisio: in ubuntu htop can be accessed through the hud but weechat can not, I am asking if there is a to run weechat through the hud like htop since they are both ncurses applications | 01:27 |
| reisio | pfifo: he had special circumstances, we went through rsync | 01:27 |
| draconus | reisio still here? nice :) talking to booh | 01:27 |
| reisio | alexandros_c: ah | 01:27 |
| reisio | alexandros_c: you'll need a .desktop file that opens a terminal with the command 'weechat', basically | 01:27 |
| reisio | booh: yeah would probably go with rsync for you | 01:28 |
| alexandros_c | reisio: ok where do you put that .desktop file? | 01:28 |
| reisio | pfifo: heh | 01:34 |

| pfifo | reisio, I was about to say... squashfs-tools | 01:35 |
| reisio | pfifo: for what? | 01:35 |
| pfifo | reisio, as a superior alternative to dd+tar (but since that didnt happen no real loss) | 01:35 |
| reisio | oh | 01:36 |
| reisio | yeah his partitions were almost entirely full | 01:36 |
| reisio | so the ordinary dd was not a waste as it ordinarily would've been | 01:36 |
| reisio | and he actually wanted to avoid compression 'cause he had plenty of storage space and didn't want to wait when accessing it at all | 01:37 |
| u3 | well i will try again and se what happens, but this time i will not fail | 01:38 |

| ubottu | To disable joins and parts from being displayed in all future channels you join, type /set irc_conf_mode 1 . To apply this setting to all current channels, type /gui apply. To disable the prints for only certain channels, right click on the channel tab and click Settings -> Hide Join/Part Messages | 01:40 |
| draconus | ubottu doesn't know about !split | 01:40 |
| ubottu | draconus: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:40 |
| reisio | it's probably 'netsplit' | 01:40 |
| draconus | ubottu: botsnack | 01:40 |
| draconus | !netsplit | 01:40 |
| ubottu | netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other. If this is happening now, just relax and enjoy the show. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netsplit | 01:40 |
| sh3llc0d3r | ubottu, thanks that worked for me | 01:40 |
| ubottu | sh3llc0d3r: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 01:40 |

| pfifo | Pici, for some reason I have to click hide joins/parts everytime i log into freenode (I only want it for a few rooms though, not all of them) | 01:43 |
| pfifo | u3, and disk drive too, make sure your not using /tmp as a ramdisk as well | 01:43 |
| Pici | pfifo: /shrug, I'm not a xchat user myself, I just call the factoids up ;) | 01:43 |
| pfifo | Pici, so your saying I should just switch to irssi? | 01:44 |
| draconus | reisio my work with moving data isn't done anyway... i'm 200GB short on that other drive :/ | 01:44 |
| reisio | draconus: that's a lot of data | 01:44 |
| draconus | reisio i would consider downsizing the source partition but i'm afraid of issues... | 01:44 |
| booh | yes backup is on regular basis.. | 01:45 |
| Pici | pfifo: or ask in #xchat, yes ;) | 01:45 |
| reisio | draconus: doing what? | 01:45 |
| booh | Is there better than rsync today? rsync is old ;-) | 01:45 |
| booh | Also, is there some "archiving" solution? | 01:45 |
| holstein | !better | 01:45 |
| ubottu | Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 01:45 |
| reisio | booh: well, it depends | 01:45 |
| pfifo | booh, yes, i keep hearing about 'clonezilla' could be what your looking for | 01:46 |
| reisio | most of the alternatives that are better for particular situations are also based on rsync :) | 01:46 |
| draconus | reisio i managed to empty 75% of a big source partition and now i would love to shrink it to make space for a new partition to come with fresh system as all the rest is already copied and safe | 01:46 |
| booh | I think I will use rsync but I just wonder if today is there a better way... with possibility to archive too... (If I want a modify file for example and rollback this file 2 weeks ago) | 01:46 |
| reisio | draconus: you can't just wait for the last 200gb to copy? | 01:46 |
| reisio | booh: in that case, use rdiff-backup | 01:46 |
| u3 | i think i will have to by a turbo processor | 01:46 |
| booh | I can't reboot to do backup with clonezila! | 01:46 |

| draconus | rypervenche i plan to replace just everything | 02:00 |
| rypervenche | draconus: Then you'll be fine. Just move the old directory out of the way and put the new one in and start MySQL. | 02:00 |

| ubottu | james41382, please see my private message | 02:02 |
| rypervenche | draconus: Multiple backups in multiple locations. | 02:02 |
| draconus | rypervenche and i lost several hours of data since backups are sheduled every 6 hours - that's why i want to put files in there | 02:02 |
| draconus | rypervenche i promise i will from now on | 02:02 |
| james41382 | rypervenche: So it will eventually simply resolve and I'll be able to identify? | 02:02 |
| rypervenche | draconus: I personally keep daily backups of my databases for 30 days on two different servers, one in a different country. | 02:02 |
| rypervenche | james41382: Yep, give it a bit. | 02:03 |
| draconus | lesson well learned... been like 18 hrs of rescuing so far | 02:03 |

| reisio | draconus: assuming the data is intact, I don't recall what you did | 02:10 |
| draconus | reisio working on that box since last morning... | 02:11 |
| draconus | reisio it's a weird story and many lessons learned | 02:11 |
| draconus | my new rule #1: never backup to the production drive unless you are a moron | 02:12 |
| draconus | new rule #2: never do crazy stuff on production box | 02:12 |
| reisio | draconus: well, definitely with the backups :p | 02:13 |
| draconus | reisio and how about crazy stuff? | 02:13 |
| w30 | draconus: tha't what you get by living in the fast lane | 02:13 |
| draconus | w30 exactly | 02:13 |
| reisio | draconus: matters less if you've a backup | 02:13 |
| draconus | reisio it is not possible to backup 1TB every day | 02:13 |
| draconus | reisio in fact i never backed up like 80% of that... | 02:14 |
| pfifo | draconus, 'incremental backup' | 02:14 |
| reisio | draconus: you generate 1tb of new data every day? | 02:14 |
| draconus | pfifo i will have to learn about that in practice | 02:14 |
| reisio | well you don't need to backup the OS files | 02:14 |
| reisio | because those are mirrored all over the world | 02:14 |
| reisio | draconus: look into rdiff-backup | 02:14 |
| draconus | reisio not really, it was a huge archive in there also | 02:14 |
| draconus | reisio so that really works? like each mysql backup is 5GB then it would rdiff to like several hundreds of megs? | 02:15 |
| reisio | draconus: well, ideally for sql backups | 02:15 |
| reisio | draconus: you'd dump first | 02:15 |
| gwenbell | I'm on Ubuntu 13.04, on a circa 2010 MBA. All is good except when I use Vim, the text on the screen garbles and the machine locks up. Thoughts? | 02:15 |
| reisio | draconus: at that point you could do an incremental backup if you wanted | 02:16 |
| draconus | reisio so regular dump and then rdiff with previous dump? | 02:16 |
| reisio | technically just backing up the files is just as good | 02:16 |
| reisio | so maybe combine rdiff-backup of the filesystem with a single dump of the db | 02:16 |
| * reisio shrugs | 02:16 | |
| holstein | gwenbell: how do you use vim? | 02:16 |
| fafafew | what's the quickest way to solve the windows ubuntu dual boot problem ? windows destroy grub solutins | 02:16 |
| draconus | reisio indeed but then if i could store only those rdiffs then it's easier to e.g. upload them to remote box | 02:16 |
| reisio | sql db's don't necessarily take up that much space | 02:17 |
| fafafew | for encrypted ubuntu | 02:17 |
| reisio | draconus: well, I'm sure you'll find the right combination | 02:17 |
| gwenbell | holstein: from terminal | 02:17 |
| holstein | fafafew: its not a problem.. install and recover grub with ubuntu boot repair | 02:17 |
| holstein | gwenbell: have you tried other terminal emulators? or tty? | 02:17 |
| reisio | draconus: rdiff-backup and rsync are your best tools, the former for incremental | 02:17 |
| draconus | reisio, pfifo: many thanks for pointing me to rdiff | 02:17 |
| fafafew | boot repair ask to decrypt now that's the problem | 02:17 |
| gwenbell | holstein: not yet, will give it a go now | 02:18 |
| reisio | draconus: oh, and rdiff-backup-fs for restoring from the backup later on | 02:18 |
| reisio | draconus: very handy | 02:18 |
| reisio | draconus: it translates all the diffs into virtual timestamped directories | 02:18 |
| draconus | reisio even now i keep like 500 gigs of backups and they don't differ much... so could i rdiff those files? | 02:18 |
| draconus | rfidd-backup-fs sounds like orgasm to me :)) | 02:19 |
| reisio | yeah, rdiff-backup will save you loads of space | 02:19 |
| reisio | yeah it's pretty hot | 02:19 |
| fafafew | who got solution to my problem???? | 02:19 |
| reisio | fafafew: I | 02:19 |
| draconus | reisio that is just great, i will test soon | 02:19 |
| fafafew | reisio and your solution is ........................ | 02:20 |
| reisio | fafafew: I don't know your problem yet | 02:20 |
| draconus | pfifo, reisio: i also used to have some services that required dumping a gig every hour... wish i knew about rdiff before | 02:21 |
| reisio | live and learn :) | 02:21 |
| draconus | so here i am :) | 02:21 |

| fafafew | reisio , ................classic win , ubuntu , grub destry problem but with a twist .... ubuntu is in encrpted partition | 02:22 |
| draconus | pfifo yah... but than you need to imagine something first to even ask about it :) | 02:22 |
| draconus | then* | 02:22 |
| reisio | fafafew: okay, and? | 02:23 |
| pfifo | fafafew, its asking you to decrypt your partition? Whats the problem there? dont know how to decrypt it? we can help | 02:23 |
| reisio | it can take a while to realize that the open source world already has an impeccable solution to virtually every problem | 02:23 |
| reisio | instead of just assuming it doesn't exist | 02:23 |
| draconus | well yes but in case of incremental backups... when you do regular ones for like 20 years... you are blocked | 02:24 |
| reisio | exactly | 02:24 |
| reisio | just takes a little rewiring | 02:24 |
| draconus | you don't even consider a though of something different | 02:24 |
| reisio | of your brain :) | 02:24 |
| fafafew | pfifo how? | 02:24 |
| draconus | reisio and that's what irc is great for | 02:24 |
| reisio | maybe you have been fortunate enough to have always had plenty of storage space to compensate :) | 02:24 |
| draconus | reisio one is always up to date here with people doing all the magic | 02:25 |
| pfifo | fafafew, well first, i need some information, is this the whole partition or just your home directory? | 02:25 |
| draconus | reisio indeed... when you got loads of space you don't even think of shrinking | 02:25 |
| fafafew | what if i dont want to decrypt the partition , how to solve it ? | 02:25 |
| reisio | fafafew: what is the problem? | 02:25 |
| reisio | I still haven't seen you say, I don't think | 02:25 |
| pfifo | reisio, fafafew needs to decrypt his partition to repair grub | 02:26 |
| draconus | reisio he said before: "classic win , ubuntu , grub destry problem but with a twist .... ubuntu is in encrpted partition" | 02:26 |
| pfifo | i think | 02:26 |
| holstein | unless its just the /home partition | 02:26 |
| fafafew | pfifio , i guess home directory i remember that's the only one get encrypted and boot-repair is asking to decrpt so i guess that's the one | 02:26 |
| draconus | and he doesn't want to decrypt | 02:26 |
| master_ | Can i install nvidia-325 in precise and still retain optimus compatibility somehow? | 02:26 |
| reisio | yeah I read what he said | 02:27 |
| pfifo | fafafew, can you pastebin the output of 'sudo blkid && sudo fdisk -l' | 02:27 |
| reisio | he hasn't said what the actual problem is yet | 02:27 |

| Programmer_ | w30, very clever | 02:39 |
| Anon503 | so 3 years ago on an old windows laptop one of my virtual machines got exploited and got malware on the host, that's how I got into linux | 02:39 |
| rypervenche | draconus: You can't increment a mysql dump. | 02:39 |

| rypervenche | draconus: It won't do anything differently. Now, are you using any InnoDB tables? | 02:39 |
| Anon503 | my old laptop has been formatted multiple times | 02:39 |
| reisio | rypervenche: why not? | 02:39 |
| draconus | rypervenche why wouldn't it work? | 02:39 |
| Anon503 | but I plugged in my usb on a fresh linux install, burned xubuntu and installed it on my desktop | 02:40 |

| rypervenche | reisio: If he's using rdiff-backup it won't do it that way. The file will have changed and it will backup all different versions. | 02:40 |
| Anon503 | I'm a paranoid person and think bios rootkits are spreading.. just tell me I'm wrong | 02:40 |
| draconus | and yes, i got mostly myisam but some inno as well | 02:40 |
| wilee-nilee | Anon503, Can you get to the point in one line. | 02:40 |
| Anon503 | sorry sorry... I'm stressing over nothing | 02:40 |
| draconus | Anon503: bios rootkits are spreading | 02:40 |
| reisio | rypervenche: I don't think so... | 02:40 |
| === tdot_ is now known as duckranger | ||
| reisio | rypervenche: you might be thinking of rsnapshot | 02:40 |
| Anon503 | it's just irrational I know that, but I needed somebody to tell me that | 02:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Anon503, root kits in the bios is way off topic here. | 02:41 |
| EbonHeart | just replace your mobo.. paranoia solved | 02:41 |

| Anon503 | ok sorry.. not the best place | 02:41 |

| RoDiMuS-X | Is using an Anti-virus necessary with Ubuntu? | 02:43 |
| somsip | !virus | RoDiMuS-X | 02:43 |
| ubottu | RoDiMuS-X: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 02:43 |
| rypervenche | Ahh, interesting. I didn't realize it worked on the file level like that. Good to know | 02:43 |
| reisio | rypervenche: yeah rsnapshot is the one that just backs up the entire altered file | 02:44 |
| rypervenche | Learned something new today then. | 02:44 |
| reisio | I get them confused all the time myself :/ | 02:44 |
| reisio | arrrrrr | 02:44 |
| reisio | buncha pirate programmers | 02:44 |
| draconus | rypervenche so did i :) | 02:44 |
| draconus | cheers reisio! | 02:44 |
| draconus | and pfifo which is sleeping already | 02:44 |
| rypervenche | draconus: Then I need to fix my own backup schema. I've got it creating 30 files, when I only need it to overwrite the file :P | 02:44 |
| draconus | who* | 02:44 |
| reisio | see it used to be that actually restoring from rdiff-backup data was such a pain, because you have to know the exact time and syntax | 02:44 |
| reisio | but that's all done away with since rdiff-backup-fs | 02:45 |
| draconus | reisio there are even more approaches... did you check that serverfault link? | 02:45 |
| draconus | duplicty etc. | 02:45 |
| reisio | duplicity is also rsync based, IIRC | 02:45 |
| reisio | and I prefer commands | 02:45 |
| reisio | ...so I know wtf is going on | 02:45 |
| reisio | duplicity is gui oriented, IIRC | 02:46 |
| draconus | oh crap | 02:46 |
| * draconus hates GUI | 02:46 | |
| rypervenche | reisio: Does rdiff-backup-fs touch the files or does it access them read-only? | 02:47 |
| draconus | so i'm staying with rdiff as soon as i learn and test the rdiff fs as that's crucial | 02:47 |
| Magu1978 | exit | 02:47 |
| Magu1978 | quit | 02:47 |
| reisio | rypervenche: just a read only virtual timestamped directory hierarchy AIUI | 02:48 |
| draconus | Magu1978 you can't escape the matrix | 02:48 |
| reisio | buncha dirs with YYYY-MM-DD-HHMMSS or something like that | 02:48 |
| reisio | pick the one you want and cp as preferred | 02:48 |
| rypervenche | reisio: Awesome. Thank you. I'll try it out. | 02:48 |
| reisio | it's pretty fancy to watch it in action :p | 02:48 |
| draconus | reisio can you tell it to work e.g. 100 files at once? | 02:48 |
| reisio | draconus: it takes every single revision in your rdiff-backup directory | 02:49 |
| reisio | draconus: and presents it as virtual, timestamped directories | 02:49 |
| draconus | it will take a while for me | 02:49 |
| reisio | well ideally you won't be restoring from backups a lot anyways :p | 02:49 |
| reisio | but in the event you need to, from rdiff-backup data, this makes it simple | 02:50 |
| draconus | Anon503 yes, there are many bios rks... | 02:50 |
| Anon503 | sorry I want to apoligize. I was having a panic attack for some reason and thought here was the best place to put it | 02:50 |
| draconus | reisio in fact i did just once | 02:50 |
| Anon503 | you've had one? | 02:50 |
| draconus | j/k :) | 02:50 |

| Anon503 | ok.. sorry | 02:54 |
| Evy | where can i get that? | 02:54 |
| Kitt3n | There should be a button on the apport window, well, there is in 12.10 and 13.04 | 02:54 |
| Kitt3n | No idea about 12.04 | 02:54 |
| Evy | what os version should i be using? i don't know due the video driver being so old "Automated installer and Display Drivers for Xorg 6.9 to Xserver 1.12 and Kernel version up to 3.4" | 02:56 |
| Kitt3n | Evy, personally, I would just reinstall with ubuntu 13.04 and use the official AMD graphics drivers | 02:56 |
| Evy | ... it say somthing about xorg 6.9 and kernel 3.4 | 02:57 |

| partounian | Hey guys installl xampp:i386, because of the unmet depencies: python-gtk2 and python-glade2, then next line it E: unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I am running 12.04.2 64bit. | 03:10 |
| reisio | partounian: xampp is more useful for Windows users | 03:11 |
| reisio | partounian: just install apache and php and whatever you want | 03:11 |
| bazhang | !xampp | partounian | 03:11 |
| ubottu | partounian: We do not support XAMPP installs here. Please use the LAMP stack that is in our repositories; see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP for more information. | 03:11 |
| partounian | reisio: Apache keeps giving me a virtualhost configuration error and I couldn't fix it, it's a pain the arse tbh. | 03:11 |
| reisio | partounian: well #httpd can help with that | 03:12 |
| bazhang | partounian, use lamp , it's what is supported here | 03:12 |
| reisio | partounian: or you could look into nginx, which is... better :) | 03:12 |
| partounian | Alright. | 03:12 |
| b80905 | reisio: to get the most out of my machine | 03:12 |
| reisio | b80905: so you just want something light | 03:12 |

| hermann | ehyy | 03:13 |
| studious | woo hooooooooooooo! | 03:13 |

| Evy | using 12.04 due to ati drivers | 03:14 |
| partounian | Hopefully just purging it works unlike last time. | 03:15 |
| reisio | studious: chrubuntu, that's a new one | 03:15 |
| reisio | partounian: I think tasksel can do it all | 03:15 |
| reisio | but it's just apache, mysql/mariadb/postgresql, and php/python/perl/ruby/etc. | 03:16 |
| draconus | chrubuntu? lol | 03:16 |
| partounian | reisio: They say not to use tasksel for removing. | 03:16 |
| reisio | probably not | 03:16 |

| draconus | reisio after (finally) moving all of the data which was like 800GB safely... i have ONE and ONLY file that didn't move and reports i/o error when copying... it's a mere 7MB log file but very important... do you believe that i would be able to copy it somehow? | 03:22 |
| malimbar | Are there still DVD's that won't play even with ubuntu-restricted-extras installed? | 03:23 |
| reisio | draconus: grab as much of it as you can with ddrescue | 03:23 |
| reisio | draconus: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dd_%28Unix%29#Data_recovery | 03:23 |
| draconus | reisio so ddrescue can recover a single file too? | 03:23 |
| reisio | draconus: other than that, if rebooting and other magical things you can do to a failing hard disk don't help, it's gone | 03:23 |
| draconus | reisio it stops at 50% and i just need the last few lines of it | 03:24 |
| reisio | draconus: no but it can do a better job of grabbing the sectors the file spans than dd | 03:24 |
| reisio | dd fails on i/o errors | 03:24 |
| reisio | ddrescue keeps going | 03:24 |
| reisio | you end up with gaps, but you might not need those specific gaps | 03:24 |

| draconus | it's ovh | 03:29 |
| Ububegin | reisio: Should I call mount thatFolder | 03:29 |
| Neo31 | is says to do : sudo apt-get upgrade libx11-data multiarch-support perl-base | 03:29 |
| reisio | Ububegin: no just compare the output of mount to that of pwd | 03:29 |
| Neo31 | did you try that and test again!? | 03:29 |
| draconus | brb | 03:29 |
| Neo31 | try a full system update too Evy | 03:30 |
| Evy | command? | 03:30 |
| Neo31 | Evy, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 03:31 |

| Neo31 | Evy this command would be faster, sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade libx11-data multiarch-support | 03:32 |
| Neo31 | evy try the last command, reboot and test again (that's what the error message says) if the problem is not solved we can proceed with something else | 03:33 |

| b80905 | wilee-nilee: i compiled fluxbox from source | 03:55 |
| draconus2 | reisio imagine waking up to 1TB of mangled data and lots of i/o errors while you left the box perfectly running... you come here and all you read is "your drive is dead" | 03:55 |
| partounian | I set perms to 777 but when trying to install, it says that the dirs are not writeable. | 03:56 |
| draconus2 | reisio and from that state i managed to fully recover and stabilize the box, grab all my data back and yet reboot it successfuly after :) | 03:56 |
| wilee-nilee | b80905, Fluxbox is in the repos, not sure on a source install to be honest. | 03:56 |

| draconus2 | Evy thank you very much - i'm all about backups and lots of them so i will definetly try that site but still, first i need to learn about incremental backups as reisio suggested | 03:59 |
| reisio | you won't get anything better than rsync/rdiff-backup :p | 04:00 |
| reisio | if you need online backup, just combine rsync/rdiff-backup with a mounted online share | 04:00 |

| shadowBlaze18 | Hi, sorry, I forgot something. I don't have to release source code for any software that Ubuntu comes preinstalled with right in any version? | 04:10 |
| reisio | shadowBlaze18: using is not distribution | 04:12 |
| === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ | ||
| shadowBlaze18 | no, for redistribution | 04:12 |
| reisio | for free? | 04:12 |
| === kcristiano_ is now known as tadmonitor | ||
| coolot | to wilee-nilee : just asking if you know some pointers / guidelines to make sure that the old 2.2.x kernel is below 1024 cylinder. i am having an exam on running linux. | 04:12 |
| shadowBlaze18 | well, the computer being sold is preinstalled with Linux and I'm giving them the CD too. | 04:13 |
| reisio | shadowBlaze18: you're fine | 04:13 |
| shadowBlaze18 | okay | 04:13 |
| reisio | the GPL is to keep software from becoming closed source | 04:13 |
| shadowBlaze18 | thank you | 04:13 |
| shadowBlaze18 | good bye | 04:13 |
| reisio | it's not to keep you from redistributing it or even from making money off binaries | 04:13 |
| wilee-nilee | coolot, Not needed and that kernel is not supported, modern hd's partition at 1024 | 04:14 |
| === shadowBlaze18 is now known as ShadowBlaze18 | ||
| ShadowBlaze18 | if the GPL requires a source code to be made avaliable, would I have to do it? | 04:15 |
| wilee-nilee | coolot, We can't really support haomework, you might try ##linux and don't mention the school stuff. | 04:16 |
| reisio | ShadowBlaze18: that's its purpose | 04:16 |
| reisio | ShadowBlaze18: but I don't think your situation applies | 04:16 |
| ShadowBlaze18 | reisio: why not? | 04:16 |
| reisio | you aren't modifying the software | 04:17 |
| coolot | thanks wilee-nilee | 04:17 |
| wilee-nilee | coolot, If I knew I would say, no problem, want to see you do well. | 04:17 |
| ShadowBlaze18 | reisio: so Ubuntu does not already put the needed stuff in the actual OS for redistribution? | 04:19 |
| reisio | ShadowBlaze18: they make the source available in their repos | 04:20 |
| reisio | which satisfies the GPL just fine, AIUI | 04:20 |
| reisio | you could also be a dork and only provide the source upon the request, IIRC (don't quote me on thiss) | 04:20 |
| histo | ShadowBlaze18: the source is there and available | 04:20 |
| === harrymoreno_ is now known as harrymoreno | ||
| ShadowBlaze18 | histo: it's in the actual OS without extra download? | 04:21 |
| reisio | Ubuntu does what Debian does, and Debian and the FSF are tight | 04:21 |
| histo | ShadowBlaze18: it's an extra download | 04:21 |
| histo | ShadowBlaze18: just like all packages are | 04:21 |

| Pinkamena_D | how can you kill the process that is running in the terminal window other then closing it? | 04:22 |
| ShadowBlaze18 | histo: see, that's where I think the issue is... | 04:22 |
| histo | ShadowBlaze18: apt-get source packagename | 04:22 |
| histo | ShadowBlaze18: no issue for what you are doing | 04:22 |
| reisio | ShadowBlaze18: http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DoesTheGPLAllowMoney | 04:22 |
| histo | Pinkamena_D: kill whatver_pid | 04:22 |
| reisio | ShadowBlaze18: and IIRC you aren't even asking for money, so are even further within the limits | 04:23 |
| Pinkamena_D | I meant, how ot kill something running in the terminal window itself | 04:23 |
| Pinkamena_D | with some keyboard shortcut | 04:23 |
| reisio | Pinkamena_D: pgrep -l something | 04:23 |
| reisio | Pinkamena_D: kill something | 04:23 |
| reisio | Pinkamena_D: kill -9 something | 04:23 |
| ShadowBlaze18 | reisio, yes, but I am creating a copy of the software and redistributing it, basically, since it's a part of the OS | 04:24 |
| Foxhoundz | 13.04 update causes unity to screw up | 04:25 |
| Foxhoundz | It doesn't load the panels | 04:25 |
| Foxhoundz | basically a black screen | 04:25 |
| Foxhoundz | I've followed several instructions on Ask Ubuntu | 04:25 |
| Foxhoundz | but nothing helps | 04:25 |
| reisio | ShadowBlaze18: and somewhere in Ubuntu it is made clear that the source code is available | 04:25 |
| reisio | ShadowBlaze18: so stop worrying :p | 04:25 |
| Foxhoundz | I think this has something to do with Compiz, but that's where the trail ends | 04:25 |
| tannji | Foxhoundz, I did the update with no issues... but sounds like unity or Lightdm needs restarting | 04:26 |
| ShadowBlaze18 | reisio: it is? oh, lol | 04:26 |
| draconus | back | 04:26 |
| Foxhoundz | tannji: I tried rebooting, resetting Unity, reinstalling unity, installing ccsm and making sure opengl was enabled | 04:26 |
| Foxhoundz | I'm scraping the bottom of the barrel at this point | 04:26 |
| ShadowBlaze18 | reisio: oh, then I guess it's fine | 04:26 |

| asandweech | vegombrei: yes, very much so | 05:05 |

| holstein | the only issue would possibly be, if you want grub on the USB and the machine doesnt boot USB.. and you can use plop for that http://www.plop.at/en/bootmanager/index.html | 05:07 |

| holstein | vegombrei: i used a "?" because i was confused as to why you asked the question again | 05:11 |
| Omen_20 | holstein: the data size is too large for the disc even with the overburn option | 05:11 |
| vegombrei | yes thank you brb im reading one of them forums | 05:11 |

| PashaPasta | people still burn discs instead of using usb? 0.o | 05:13 |
| holstein | Omen_20: maybe you have a slightly oversized iso, and you are misinterpreting the error message | 05:14 |
| Omen_20 | I put in another DVD and it doesn't have the issue. It is smaller than the size left on the partition and it works. The issue is when I put the larger DVD in it won't let me chose a location for the ISO. The properties button is disabled. What since does that make? | 05:14 |
| crunchnut | Wont let me screenshot the screen shot wont load going to try take a pic with my phone | 05:14 |
| holstein | Omen_20: could be that type of media with your particular burner | 05:14 |
| Omen_20 | I'm not burning a disc, I just want to make a copy but Brasero tells me my partition doesn't have enough space, and fails to let me tell it where I do have space for it. | 05:15 |
| holstein | Omen_20: if you are not burning a disc, i would close the disc burning utility, and make a copy of a file in a file manager | 05:15 |
| Omen_20 | I don't want a particular file, I want an ISO copy of the disc. | 05:16 |
| holstein | Omen_20: what disc? | 05:17 |
| holstein | Omen_20: an iso? or an actual plastic disc? | 05:17 |
| Omen_20 | a DVD | 05:17 |

| reisio | iso-9660, udf | 05:19 |

| reisio | there are even DVDs that are imaged with errors included on purpose | 05:19 |
| reisio | to try and keep people from copying them | 05:20 |
| Omen_20 | What's aggravating is that I've done this for years and have always had a small ~ partition. So I've always had to tell it to put the ISO on another partition. This is a new bug apparently. | 05:20 |
| Omen_20 | No I have not. I'll look it up. | 05:20 |

| james41382 | reisio: What do you mean? | 05:23 |
| reisio | james41382: do you want a backup that has, for example, copies of files as they were last month, and also as they were the month before | 05:23 |
| reisio | james41382: or just copies of files as they were before the inevitable destruction of the original? | 05:23 |
| vegombrei | holstein: also what happens if the drive isnt plugged in .. will it boot windows? | 05:23 |
| SuSam | hi | 05:23 |
| holstein | vegombrei: you can specify.. you can use an alternate installer, though sometimes, i just go to a machine that has no hard drive, and do an install to the stick | 05:24 |
| holstein | vegombrei: if you make no changes to your current setup, nothing will change | 05:24 |
| james41382 | reisio: Okay I see.. I guess if I could archive the backups (incrementally) that would be awesome, but if not I'll get over it. | 05:24 |
| reisio | james41382: rdiff-backup and a cron job then :) | 05:24 |
| reisio | james41382: with rdiff-backup-fs for accessing backup data should you actually need to restore from it | 05:24 |

| reisio | james41382: yes | 05:25 |
| reisio | james41382: with cron you can, for example, tell the system to be backed up every night at 3am | 05:25 |
| james41382 | reisio: I am fairly good with a shell and a little google magic. | 05:25 |
| reisio | james41382: okay, your system should already have a cron system | 05:26 |
| === Onixs_ is now known as Onixs | ||
| reisio | james41382: lots of info on that here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cron and also man cron, man 5 crontab | 05:26 |
| holstein | vegombrei: have your data backedup, since *all* hard drives fail.. know how to recover all your data and boot loaders, and OS's, and there can be no issues | 05:26 |
| reisio | james41382: what else you need is sudo apt-get install rdiff-backup rdiff-backup-fs | 05:26 |
| asandweech | james41382: you could also use the default ubuntu backup manager, deja dup | 05:26 |
| asandweech | I use it sometimes, works rather well | 05:26 |
| reisio | james41382: the syntax is simple, as man rdiff-backup explains: rdiff-backup /source/ /destination/, basically | 05:26 |
| holstein | dejadup is quite nice | 05:26 |
| james41382 | Is dejadup graphical? | 05:27 |
| asandweech | james: yes | 05:27 |
| asandweech | james41382: works rather well, easy to follow, decently intuitive | 05:27 |
| asandweech | james41382: pretty much why ubuntu made it default | 05:28 |
| james41382 | Okay let me clarify I want to backup the entire hard drive. | 05:28 |
| james41382 | When I enter dejadup into the dash it takes me to backup and it appears as though it is for backing up directories. | 05:28 |
| holstein | dejadup is easy... clonezilla is easy-ish too, and makes a clone of a drive.. otherwise, you have quite a few options to try out | 05:28 |
| varunendra | Omen_20, did you get around to your problem? | 05:28 |
| asandweech | james41382: Yes, you select the root directory of the drive | 05:28 |
| holstein | james41382: backup the / directory | 05:28 |
| reisio | backing up the OS files is kind of a waste of time, though, really | 05:29 |
| reisio | they're already mirrored all over the place | 05:29 |
| james41382 | holstein: So that will backup the entire drive as is with partitions set the way they are? | 05:29 |
| Omen_20 | reisio: apparently mplayer cannot load it. So I'm guessing these are just different DVDs. | 05:29 |
| reisio | Omen_20: quite possibly | 05:29 |
| reisio | Omen_20: what error do you get? | 05:29 |
| holstein | james41382: im not sure what you are asking.. its not a clone. its a copy of the / partition.. which is the drive | 05:29 |
| holstein | james41382: depends on what you want to do and have | 05:30 |
| asandweech | james41382: just add the other folders in the other partitions | 05:30 |
| holstein | dejadup is quite simple | 05:30 |

| ripthejacker | Ari-Yang: I don't remember now,but something like fgrlx | 05:53 |
| AlexFromCanada | i did | 05:53 |
| CrunchyNutty | can anyone help with the airmon-ng problem | 05:53 |
| Ari-Yang | ripthejacker, the amd proprietary driver, fglrx, is horrible... it has horrible 2d acceleration. | 05:54 |
| AlexFromCanada | I also got I also tried boot-repair | 05:54 |
| asandweech | AlexFromCanada: have you tried boot-repair? | 05:54 |
| AlexFromCanada | it deleted it | 05:54 |
| Ari-Yang | you'd only use it if you were a gamer I'd guess, but if you aren't, you're better off with th eopen source one, ripthejacker | 05:54 |
| AlexFromCanada | but now there is no boot loader for windows 7 | 05:54 |
| AlexFromCanada | so it says missing operating system | 05:54 |
| asandweech | AlexFromCanada: nevermind then, haha. Does the bootloader still exist? | 05:54 |

| ripthejacker | Now I feel it's slower than Windows 7 in my netbook | 05:57 |
| Ari-Yang | ripthejacker, ah, tbh I wouldn't trust those drivers, but that's just me | 05:57 |
| ripthejacker | ok | 05:58 |
| Ari-Yang | (the driver from the site) | 05:58 |
| james41382 | reisio: I just took an class using python. It's neat to see it being used in a practical application. | 05:58 |
| ripthejacker | Ari-Yang: so you suggest I use the open source driver | 05:58 |

| Ari-Yang | ripthejacker, as I said before, if you aren't a gamer, then yes..... Though the open source one really runs your gpu hot (especially on laptops). I worked around this by installing a kernel that has the new dynamic power management patches, and everything works better | 06:00 |

| AlexFromCanada | How do I do that? | 06:21 |
| asandweech | AlexFromCanada: This guy seems to have the problem solved: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=119702 | 06:21 |
| apm1 | i have dual graphics amd raedon 6400m+ intel 2nd gen integrated ,what proprietary driver do i install ? | 06:22 |
| draconus | varunendra i would like to express my words of thankfulness (whatever i should write that) for encouraging me and trying to help, i would probably never did that without your care | 06:22 |
| varunendra | draconus, since all those errors, logs etc. are generated by the os, if, for whatever reason, once it gets off-track, it'll *see* everything wrong... that's where reboot does the magic ;) | 06:22 |
| draconus | varunendra yes | 06:22 |
| varunendra | draconus, that seems over-generous to me.... we were only doing what we are here for :) | 06:23 |
| apm1 | here is the amd card's lspci : VGA compatible controller: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI Seymour [Radeon HD 6400M Series] | 06:23 |
| AlexFromCanada | SHould I execute these commands from Ubuntu or Mac? | 06:23 |
| draconus | varunendra somehow it came to my mind that the system went totally wrong and is operating on some crazy illusion... which appeared true but then... guess how much power it took to press that hard reboot button... | 06:23 |
| AlexFromCanada | or will it not matter? | 06:23 |
| draconus | was* operating | 06:23 |
| asandweech | ubuntu, since that is where you want grub to be moved | 06:23 |
| AlexFromCanada | k | 06:24 |
| asandweech | though if done properly shouldn't matter | 06:24 |
| AlexFromCanada | thx | 06:24 |
| apm1 | nvm just found the answer | 06:24 |
| asandweech | I'm heading off, night everyone | 06:24 |
| AlexFromCanada | It said to change sdx accordingly? | 06:25 |
| draconus | varunendra i spent like 2 hours estimating and wondering if i should go for that... and it didn't really reboot... box was stalled for THREE hours... not sure if technicans did something or was it fscking or wtf... | 06:25 |
| varunendra | draconus, I have lost three years of hard work once.... seemed like end of world for a couple of days.... but then it made me realize that the only thing that is truly ours is what we have in our mind, ourselves.... be ready to lose everything else some day.. | 06:26 |
| AlexFromCanada | It said to change sdx accordingly? | 06:26 |
| varunendra | draconus, since then I don't give too much thought if something goes wrong, although I do stay prepared.. | 06:27 |
| varunendra | draconus, given the fact that it is a remote server, you should make special arrangements for offline backups.. don't you think so? | 06:28 |
| draconus | varunendra i do understand you because... that box had like 3 years of my work also... and i even tried to say goodbye already, came to the state of clear mind and just said exactly same thing as you did | 06:30 |
| draconus | varunendra i have realised that backups on the box are NOT enough and it's a MUST to send them somewhere via rsync | 06:31 |
| varunendra | draconus, that's even better :) | 06:31 |
| draconus | varunendra and yes, i think that since now i won't care this much about stuff, something broke inside me as i realised how easy it is to lose everything | 06:32 |
| draconus | as long as that stuff is mine and not customers' | 06:32 |
| varunendra | draconus, broke or lightened up..?? lol.. | 06:33 |
| draconus | varunendra both at once :) | 06:33 |

| reisio | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreUbuntu/XP/Vista/7Bootloader then | 07:00 |
| nbags | north: its the name of a program that can do network scanning. you will have to read the docs if you want to know how to use it | 07:00 |
| north | Yes... but I need the Mac address also along with the ip address so that SSH on a dhcp environment is easy | 07:00 |

| nbags | north: man nmap | 07:01 |
| north | yea... but no possible option... | 07:01 |
| north | nbags: | 07:01 |
| nbags | north: yes, nmap can tell u the mac address of a given ip | 07:01 |

| reisio | hi joyson_ | 07:02 |
| nbags | north: can't remember. but i think just 'nmap <subnet>' gives you such information. i hope you are doing this on your own network. nmap can do intrusive things are are illegal in many places | 07:03 |
| histo | north: you could do somehting like nmap -sP 192.168.0.0/24 | 07:03 |
| histo | north: that will ping scan the subnet 192.168.0.0 for hosts that are up | 07:04 |

| Nakkel | Any options other than downgrading X and using legacy fglrx drivers? | 07:37 |
| histo | Nakkel: yeah installing the drivers from amd | 07:37 |
| histo | NonaSuomi: what is the problem? | 07:37 |
| nbags | NonaSuomi: u would need to dismount it. then you could fsck it with linux. (i think ... never used exfat). but if its ntfs dont fsck it with linux, plug into a windows box | 07:37 |

| histo | NonaSuomi: sure there are. | 07:46 |
| nbags | NonaSuomi: still i would use ntfs over exfat ... but surely its worth reformatting it to ext4 or btrfs for speed and reliability | 07:46 |
| NonaSuomi | Huh, I could have sworn it didn't let me use anything but FAT, NTFS, or exFAT when I formatted with Win7's tool | 07:47 |

| chaotix | hello. i am using ubuntu 13.04 64 bit. i have kolourpaint4 installed on my computer.. it has been working fine... all of a sudden it keeps crashing, wont let me save anything, and is being just generally weird.. i think it may have been after installing steam... any ideas? | 07:51 |
| chaotix | should i uninstall and reinstall kolourpaint? | 07:52 |
| nbags | still exfat is based on really ancient technology. ntfs would probably be a better option. maybe windows can convert exfat to ntfs? | 07:52 |
| chaotix | ok i am going to just try to un/reinstall | 07:53 |
| chaotix | fingers crossed | 07:53 |
| NonaSuomi | nbags: I'm not sure if it can do that, but I'll certainly check. Also are you sure you're not talking about the older FATxx filesystems. As I understand it, MS made it up themselves and it shares more in common with NTFS than traditional FAT systems | 07:53 |
| NonaSuomi | But again, I could be completely misinformed | 07:54 |
| nbags | NonaSuomi: i dont really know i just looked at the wikipedia page. either way support in linux is a lot less mature than that of ntfs | 07:54 |
| nbags | "Unlike NTFS, exFAT cannot pre-allocate disk space for a file by just marking arbitrary space on disk as 'allocated'. As in FAT, when creating a file of known length, exFAT must perform a complete physical write equal to the size of the file." | 07:54 |
| nbags | sounds pretty backwards | 07:54 |

| becom33 | ? | 08:19 |

| hamvocke | hi there, I'm having some trouble with the wifi signal strength with my Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 network adapter. I am able to connect to my wireless network, the signal is extremely low, though. Even when I'm sitting next to the wifi router I only get about 60% signal strength | 08:23 |
| === Lutzee is now known as Guest15289 | ||
| === CyberJacob is now known as Guest45596 | ||
| hamvocke | I've already read that this might be some trouble with intel's wifi drivers and that I should disable the usage of the n mode on my network adapter | 08:23 |
| nbags | Faux: ah. maybe try an older kernel? | 08:23 |
| Faux | Well, that answers the question as to whether the module works at all. ;) What kernel, hamvocke? | 08:23 |
| becom33 | ?? | 08:24 |
| hamvocke | but the suggested solutions like "modprobe -rfv iwlwifi" only states that the module iwlwifi is in use and cannot be disabled | 08:24 |

| hamvocke | everyone seems to be lucky with using rmmod iwlwifi, but if I try to use that command, I only get the error message, that the module is currently in use | 08:26 |
| hamvocke | furthermore it startles me that I need to disable the n mode of my wifi adapter since I don't want to be stuck on using only b or g wifi :) | 08:27 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, rmmod is not recommended unless you are sure what you are doing | 08:27 |

| nbags | hamvocke: does ifconfig show it as up? | 08:28 |
| nbags | might need to bring it down first | 08:29 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: the signal is dropping if I am at some distance to the router as well | 08:29 |

| histo | hamvocke: yes | 08:30 |

| varunendra | hamvocke, how are the speeds at different distances? The modprobe -rfv command is not a solution in itself by the way, just the first step to it. | 08:31 |
| === t_kjaergaard is now known as t_kjaergaard_ | ||

| hamvocke | histo: would I be able to connect to my wifi at all without this module? will it just disable the n mode for my wifi adapter or switch it off entirely? | 08:32 |
| nbags | hamvocke: rmmod or modprobe -r will disable it | 08:32 |
| Faux | nbags: Mmm, doesn't work on the actual original -19 raring kernel either, and loads of other things are worse. :( | 08:32 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: the speed is pretty slow at a further distance. If I'm sitting next to the router it's fine | 08:32 |
| histo | hamvocke: no | 08:32 |
| nbags | hamvocke: presumably you are removing the module so you can then reinstall it will different parameters? | 08:33 |
| histo | hamvocke: are you sure this is a module/driver issue? | 08:33 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, please follow this post and post back the pastebin link to the report it asks to generate : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12350385 | 08:33 |
| nbags | Faux: what about the original kernel with the backported module? | 08:33 |
| nbags | Faux: maybe you are on the wrong track - maybe the driver doesnt support iwconfig at all and you are missing something else network manager needs. | 08:34 |
| hamvocke | nbags: the solutions in the threads I've found all say that I should try to disable the module via modprobe / rmmod and then check whether it's successful. If so, I should alter my iwlwifi.conf in /etc/modprobe.d and write "options iwlwifi 11n disable=1" in there | 08:35 |
| nbags | hamvocke: ok you can do that without doing any rmmod or modprobe -r. just make the change then reboot | 08:36 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, sometimes the "swcrypto=1" parameter is sufficient for this driver. | 08:36 |
| hamvocke | nbags: I've done so yesterday. Upon restarting I couldn't connect to my wifi at all | 08:36 |
| hamvocke | that was the point where I figured out I needed some further help :) | 08:36 |
| nbags | hamvocke: is your router configured right? to support g and n? | 08:36 |
| hamvocke | nbags: yes, it is | 08:37 |
| Faux | nbags: Urgh. | 08:37 |
| nbags | hamvocke: its weird that options iwlwifi 11n disable=1 would kill your wifi completely, if your AP also supports G. did you check for errors in dmesg when you did this? | 08:37 |
| varunendra | nbags, 11n disable?? | 08:38 |
| hamvocke | nbags: no, I did not check dmesg as far as i remember | 08:38 |
| varunendra | or 11n_disable | 08:38 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: here's my wireless-info: http://pastebin.com/wM0XLCKa | 08:38 |
| nbags | varunendra: im just copying what hamvocke wrote earlier | 08:39 |
| hamvocke | nbags: that could be the problem. Maybe it was a typo in my config file | 08:39 |
| varunendra | nbags, that's why I suspect, although in that case the parameter will just be ignored. | 08:39 |
| nbags | hamvocke: what tool produced that output? its nice :) | 08:40 |
| hamvocke | just checked: I really did write "options iwlwifi 11n disable" in my iwlwifi.conf yesterday | 08:40 |
| === Daniel0_ is now known as Daniel0 | ||
| nbags | hamvocke: when you change the parameter you should run that tool again | 08:40 |
| hamvocke | nbags: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2082305&p=12350385#post12350385 | 08:40 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, first suggestion - try "sudo iwconfig wlan0 power off" | 08:40 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: that will disable the power management, right? | 08:40 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, correct ! | 08:41 |
| hamvocke | I think I've tried that yesterday with no success, but I'll give it another try | 08:41 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, also, the iwlwifi is being used by yet another driver - iwldvm, so you need to modprobe -r that one... | 08:42 |
| nbags | hamvocke: yeah if you remove iwldvm you should be able to change parameters without a reboot | 08:42 |
| === Mrdarkne1z is now known as Mrdarknezz | ||
| hamvocke | varunendra: I've tried around with that options as well yesterday. Disabled iwldvm and iwlwifi and afterwards I couldn't connect to my wifi at all | 08:42 |
| hamvocke | but let me try it again. try modprobe -r on iwlwifi and iwldvm again and will report back | 08:43 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, the biggest problem (IMHO), you are using WPA/WPA2 mixed mode. That is absolutely not recommended. Change it to WPA2-PSK (AES) only, no mixed mode, no TKIP. | 08:43 |
| hamvocke | does it make sense to run that wireless-info script again as soon as I've disabled them? | 08:43 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: is that something I need to set on my router or on my device's wifi adapter? | 08:44 |
| nbags | hamvocke: no. disable, then reenable with the 11n parameter and power management parameter. then rerun the tool | 08:44 |
| moksud_xp | hello | 08:44 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, yes, that needs to be set in the router. | 08:44 |
| nbags | hamvocke: you need to change the parameter then modprobe the modules again | 08:44 |
| moksud_xp | I had a problem during the installation of a GUI on my ubuntu server version | 08:44 |
| hamvocke | nbags: how do I reenable it? and changing the parameter takes place in my iwlwifi.conf, right? | 08:45 |
| nbags | hamvocke: in /etc/modprobe.d? | 08:45 |
| histo | !details | moksud_xp | 08:45 |
| ubottu | moksud_xp: 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 ..." | 08:45 |
| hamvocke | nbags: yes | 08:45 |
| moksud_xp | I have a problem with the execution of this code: sudo apt-get update&&sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:45 |
| nbags | hamvocke: so once you 'modprobe -r iwlwifi', change the parameter then 'modprobe iwlwifi' | 08:46 |
| histo | moksud_xp: what is the problem? | 08:46 |
| ObrienDave | moksud_xp==> make it read sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 08:46 |
| nbags | hamvocke: the modprobe -r basically unloads the driver. then you need to reload it with the new parameters | 08:46 |
| moksud_xp | I have ubuntu 13.04 server version without a GUI, Ubuntu tells me "W:Impossible to recover http://it.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/distr/raring-backports/main/i18n/translationit-IT | 08:46 |

| hamvocke | 1) modprobe -r iwldvm | 08:55 |
| hamvocke | 2) modprobe -r iwlwifi | 08:55 |
| moksud_xp | how can I change it ? | 08:55 |
| moksud_xp | I don't have a GUI.... I had this problem when trying to install the GUI | 08:55 |
| hamvocke | 3) altered my /etc/modprobe.d/iwlwifi config and added the line "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1" | 08:55 |
| hamvocke | and changed the wifi settings in my router to only use wpa2 instead of wpa/wpa2 | 08:56 |
| hamvocke | here's the new paste: http://pastebin.com/tw6NXByx | 08:56 |
| NonaSuomi | Okay, with regards to my earlier fs problem, I'm pretty convinced to ditch exFAT, but what fs should I use? The drive is an external, USB 2.0, 2TB in size and will mostly be used for NAS purposes via SAMBA. I'm thinking it's between ext3/4, btrfs, and zfs, but I can't really seem to understand the pros and cons to each. | 08:56 |
| varunendra | moksud_xp, can you use sed command?? | 08:56 |
| MonkeyDust | moksud_xp the gui comes with a basic installation, what were you trying to do? | 08:56 |
| histo | moksud_xp: sounds like that particular repository is down | 08:56 |
| blazemore | NonaSuomi: If in doubt, just use ext4 | 08:56 |
| hamvocke | my changes didn't change anything on my signal strength | 08:56 |
| moksud_xp | sincerly I don't know about sed command... | 08:56 |
| histo | moksud_xp: sudo nano /etc/apt/sources.list and change the one that is erroring from it.archive.ubuntu.com to archive.ubuntu.com for the time being | 08:56 |
| moksud_xp | I'm a Ubuntu user from yesterdaty | 08:57 |
| moksud_xp | okey, I need to change the source into what ? | 08:57 |
| varunendra | moksud_xp, try - "sudo sed -i 's:it.archive.ubuntu:archive.ubuntu:' /etc/apt/sources.list" (without the outer quotes) | 08:57 |
| histo | moksud_xp: or you could sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak && sudo sed -i 's/it.//' /etc/apt/sources.list | 08:58 |
| nbags | hamvocke: i guess u were on the wrong track then, cause your changes did work, its connected at 54mbps now | 08:58 |
| varunendra | moksud_xp, basically, you need to remove the "it." part from the urls. The sed command I gave you should do it, but be careful.. | 08:58 |
| NonaSuomi | blazemore: Forgive me if this is a stupid question, but does ext4 still have the issue with interrupted writes causing truncated files? | 08:59 |
| hamvocke | nbags: so wireless n is disabled now, but my signal remains weak. That means wireless n is not the cause of the problem apparently? | 08:59 |
| ActionPa1snip | histo: no 'g'? | 08:59 |
| histo | ActionPa1snip: not needed for what he is doing | 08:59 |
| NonaSuomi | Because I don't exactly have this system on a UPS, so I don't want to lose anything if/when the system died mid-write | 08:59 |
| blazemore | NonaSuomi: I don't know; I've never heard of that issue before. ext4 is the default filesystem for Ubuntu which is why I'm reocmmending it | 08:59 |
| ActionPa1snip | hamvocke: are there lots of wireless networks on the same channel as you are using? | 08:59 |
| nbags | hamvocke: guess so | 09:00 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, the "iwldvm" driver is not available in my 12.04 installation. Please also show us : "modinfo iwldvm | pastebinit" | 09:00 |
| hamvocke | might as well be a construction error then. I'm experiencing this problem with my new notebook | 09:01 |

| Matthew_Moore | QUESTION: when 13.10 comes out with Mir and this deep development stuff they keep talking about. should i upgrade from 13.04 or would it be a better idea to go back to 12.04 until they get the kinks sorted out? | 09:01 |
| ActionPa1snip | hamvocke: check surrounding networks and the channels they use, if you have lots on the same channel then that will cause it and you will need to switch channel | 09:02 |
| hamvocke | ActionPa1snip: no, maybe one other network on the same channel | 09:02 |
| histo | !better | Matthew_Moore | 09:02 |
| ubottu | Matthew_Moore: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors.

| ActionPa1snip | Matthew_Moore: 13.10 questions in #ubuntu+1 please | 09:02 |
| nbags | hamvocke: sure. if you can check if the same problem exists on windows (if you have it) before suspecting a linux driver issue. and yeah, try different channels like ActionPa1snip says | 09:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | Matthew_Moore: If you want stability then use the LTS | 09:02 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: http://pastebin.com/tw6NXByx | 09:02 |
| nbags | ActionPa1snip: you can also try turning your AP on its side, or moving it around a bit if you can | 09:03 |
| nbags | hamvocke: ^^ | 09:03 |
| hamvocke | I'm using 13.04 btw, just in case you guys didn't already figure that out from the context. Forgot to mention it initially. | 09:03 |
| Matthew_Moore | okie dokie. i was curious what other peoples opinions were. cuz everything i read seems like this will be a very bumpy road ahead. | 09:03 |
| histo | hamvocke: if it's a new notebook perhaps the antenna cam unattached during shipping. Usually there is a door on the bottom of your laptop you can get access to the wireless card. I would look in there and make sure the two wires are attached. | 09:04 |
| histo | Matthew_Moore: If you don't want bumps then run LTS | 09:04 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, I asked for "modinfo iwldvm".... you posted the previous link :) | 09:04 |
| nbags | histo: ++ yeah try that if they didn't go and put a 'warranty void if removed' sticker on it like they did with my asus | 09:04 |
| nbags | hamvocke: ^^ | 09:04 |
| Matthew_Moore | yes. but i also hate using older software when i know somthing newer is out there. a little OCD i guess. drives me batty. :/ | 09:05 |
| histo | Matthew_Moore: if it aint broke don't fix it | 09:05 |
| iceroot | Matthew_Moore: older does also mean more stable | 09:05 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: sorry, correct link: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5846094/ | 09:05 |
| nbags | Matthew_Moore: you could dual boot mint and ubuntu and debian. go to debian when you're annoyed at all the bugs and go back to ubuntu when you're annoyed at the old software | 09:05 |
| NikTh | New software - bleeding edge and stable are not fit . | 09:06 |
| Matthew_Moore | well i left 12.04 becuase of the issues i had with that. Unity related things mostly. having used it since 12.04.1 though | 09:06 |
| NikTh | Matthew_Moore: My situation here -> https://bugs.launchpad.net/mir/+bug/1196355 :P | 09:07 |

| hamvocke | histo, nbags: I think opening that thing up might be kind of troublesome. It's one of those compact ultrabook things. I doubt that I'll be able to reach any wire at all :) | 09:07 |
| hamvocke | but you have a point with trying a windows environment to verify this is a linux driver issue | 09:08 |
| nbags | hamvocke: histo is right though, it could just be a cable come loose. | 09:08 |
| Matthew_Moore | NikTh: not a very good bug. i have a really weird bug with all the new Ubuntu based distros with my screen Brightness changing itself everytime i open the settings manager. | 09:08 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, you said "...added the line "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1"... does it mean the options file now contains multiple lines? | 09:08 |
| nbags | hamvocke: i swore i would never open this plastic asus thing again. i already broke a couple of clips upgrading the hdd | 09:09 |
| NikTh | Matthew_Moore: But I have an LTS also, to do stable tasks.. for everyday use (not just) ;) | 09:09 |
| hamvocke | if i installed windows in a VM and boot that in my ubuntu environment, will windows use its own drivers or will that somehow be wrapped by my ubuntu drivers? | 09:09 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: nope, just that line | 09:09 |
| NikTh | Matthew_Moore: Where is the bug report ? | 09:09 |
| nbags | varunendra: the options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 worked for hamvocke ... i checked the output | 09:09 |

| nbags | varunendra: i suppose. but it was at 130mbps before hamvocke made the change, and 54mbps afterwards | 09:11 |
| Matthew_Moore | i also had an issue when i would dual boot. after booting into ubuntu the sound would be broken in windows. i would have to reset the bios every time to fix it. | 09:11 |
| Matthew_Moore | found 2 other bug reports on the same issue. both on launchpad | 09:11 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, I'd suggest that you once more change that line to also include "swcrypto=1" parameter | 09:11 |
| Matthew_Moore | i dont know if its my imagination but Linux in general seems to be alot more problematic then it used to be. :( | 09:12 |
| varunendra | nbags, it definitely worked as expected, but didn't help as per hamvocke :( | 09:12 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: would the complete line then be "options iwlwifi 11n_disable=1 swcrypto=1"? | 09:12 |
| NikTh | Matthew_Moore: What is the status of the bugs you found ? Fix Released, Invalid ... what ? | 09:12 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, yes, exactly | 09:12 |

| varunendra | nbags, I'm no expert either.. ;) | 09:13 |
| NikTh | Matthew_Moore: Is not a matter of imagination or logic.. Linux is what a user feels it is.. At my opinion is more stable than Windows.. | 09:13 |

| Matthew_Moore | Well i have been using Ubuntu since 08' as time goes on things seem to slowley be getting more and more buggy. and this opinion is not aimed at just Ubuntu. | 09:14 |
| ActionPa1snip | Matthew_Moore: how many desktop environments have you tried in each? | 09:15 |
| Matthew_Moore | all the poplar ones. XFCE, KDE, GNome, Unity, CInamon, Mate. LXDE. none of that tiled stuff. | 09:15 |
| Matthew_Moore | i have the least amount of problems on KDE. but KDE is just so so ugly even after appliing themes | 09:16 |
| ActionPa1snip | Matthew_Moore: strange. I've been on LXDE since Natty and Gnome before that back to Gutsy and not seen much performance hit at all | 09:17 |
| Matthew_Moore | i am in no way speaking ill of Linux. its still better then windows. i just know my experience with it has gotten worse over the last 2 years | 09:17 |
| nbags | Matthew_Moore: i feel that ubuntu desktop has become more bloated and buggy in the last five years too, but linux has gotten better and more stable in that time. when you add a lot of features and bleeding edge software to a distro you experience more bugs | 09:17 |
| NikTh | Matthew_Moore: I agree with "slowly" . Things now are not as was 5-10 years ago. The requirements - users demands are more and OSs must follow. In order to follow, OSs must add more and more features.. | 09:17 |

| bazhang | Dynamit, there is a PPA for that, but compiling a kernel...with ubuntu...not good advice | 09:22 |

| hamvocke | histo: I've just found instructions on how to replace the wifi card in my device. I think I'll try this afterwards. But I need to make sure that I won't void my warranty | 09:26 |
| histo | hamvocke: those are the two wires | 09:26 |
| Matthew_Moore | Unity wont run with Kwin will it? i use Kwin on XFCE becase i find it to be snappier and more stable then compiz. but kwin would break unity wouldnt it? | 09:26 |
| hamvocke | histo: yes, that's exactly what I've found | 09:26 |
| histo | hamvocke: do you still have the OS installed that it came with? | 09:26 |
| ActionPa1snip | Matthew_Moore: it may do, try it :) | 09:26 |
| hamvocke | histo: nope. It came with windows 8. I ditched it directly | 09:27 |
| iceroot | Matthew_Moore: you can install both but to run unity you need compiz and cant change that | 09:27 |
| iceroot | Matthew_Moore: also with 13.10 you may face problems mixing kubuntu and ubuntu because they will be use total different display-server | 09:27 |
| iceroot | Matthew_Moore: and kwin will NOT work with MIR only with Wayland/X11 | 09:28 |
| histo | hamvocke: well... perhaps search askubuntu for your wireless chipset or launchpad and see if anyone has noticed a bug | 09:28 |
| hamvocke | histo: yeah, I've done so yesterday. All solutions pointed to disabling wireless n | 09:28 |
| wasanzy | do we have free cpanel version | 09:29 |
| Matthew_Moore | iceroot: i am aware of that. i had a KDE developer on my youtube show previously. i am well aware of the direction of KDE. | 09:29 |
| histo | hamvocke: the other option is to try a newer module like one from intel | 09:29 |
| iceroot | Matthew_Moore: i ust think that kubuntu will be removed from the official ubuntu-familie (my opinion) | 09:30 |
| hamvocke | histo: I'm already using an Intel module. Or are you suggesting using a newer Intel module than I currently use? | 09:30 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, I'm not sure why, but people are also often advised to use channel 1 or 11 for better performance. Your current signal not only is weak, but also has more than average noise (was even more in previous outputs) | 09:31 |
| Matthew_Moore | what about K apps on Mir? such as Kdenlive. they use QT libraries. is KDE isnt developing for Mir wouldnt these apps and Libraries break? | 09:31 |
| === cantoma_ is now known as cantoma | ||
| hamvocke | histo: I'm a bit concerned that the wifi module might be troublesome, though. Dell also sells an ubuntu approved version of the XPS 13 (the so called "developer edition"). That version does not use an Intel module but some "Killer" wireless module. That developer edition was not available to me as a private customer in Germany though, so I bought a version with lower hardware specs | 09:32 |
| iceroot | Matthew_Moore: i guess #ubuntu+1 is better for that | 09:32 |
| iceroot | Matthew_Moore: but because of exactly these problems you named i guess kubuntu will be removed | 09:33 |
| histo | hamvocke: I agree that the module may also be the problem. The only way you will know is to try an updated one | 09:33 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, different people have different opinions about intel cards. On Ubuntu Forums, some are that swear by its name :P | 09:33 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: thanks, I'll try changing the channel later. Hopefully that'll help | 09:33 |
| ashwith | check | 09:34 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: yes, I've read repeatedly that "you cannot go wrong with an intel chipset", that's why I specifically searched for that when buying my new notebook | 09:34 |
| Matthew_Moore | Yeah that's my concern. i rely on Kdenlive for my youtube show. :( ill keep my fingers crossed. hope things go well there. | 09:34 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, also try changing dns and make sure IPv6 is set to "Ignore" in network manage (both are unrelated to signal strength, but disabling IPv6 may improve speed) | 09:35 |
| hamvocke | histo: maybe I should try using windows first to see, if the signal issue appears there as well. If so, I can conclude that this is not a driver issue and that I need to do something about the hardware | 09:35 |
| hamvocke | varunendra: thanks, will do | 09:35 |
| Matthew_Moore | i alredy have one issue with Kdenlive on 13.04. Key Spill mop up crashes the thing. but the same version from the same repo on 12.04 works fine. not a clue what the diffrence is between them. | 09:36 |
| Matthew_Moore | Dependacy or Library change i would assume. | 09:37 |
| hamvocke | I've read somewhere that using Fedora helped fixing the problem for one guy. Maybe I'll try booting into a Fedora live environment before installing Windows. That could spare me some time | 09:38 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, might as well try 12.04 :P | 09:42 |

| histo | hamvocke: installing a new module might be the fastest bet but depends on what you know. | 09:43 |
| hamvocke | histo: installing a new module is also the most expensive bet so far, isn't it? | 09:43 |
| histo | hamvocke: expensive? | 09:44 |
| varunendra | hamvocke, module = driver, not card | 09:44 |
| mattviapc | Currently I have 2 hard drives (one has my windows installation and the other stores data a programs). I want to get the second drive that is 230GB and partition it in windows to be 130gb and 100gb. When I do so I cannot see the partition I made in ubuntu. | 09:44 |
| hamvocke | histo, varunendra: ah, I see what you're talking about | 09:44 |
| histo | hamvocke: that's why fedora would work over ubuntu their module may be newer... | 09:45 |
| histo | or older | 09:45 |
| hamvocke | histo: alright, I misunderstood the word "module" :) | 09:45 |
| histo | hamvocke: yes I meant kernel module as in driver in the windows world | 09:46 |

| blazemore | Quest: Notice I'm talking about checking the encrypted file container; NOT the ntfs partition where the file container is stored | 10:35 |
| Quest | blazemore, it doesnt mounts it in linux. does in windows. i dont see a repair functino in linux truecrypt either | 10:35 |
| blazemore | Quest: nono, you do the repair from Windows | 10:35 |
| Quest | bazhang, yes. i got you | 10:35 |
| Quest | blazemore, ok | 10:35 |
| Quest | brb | 10:36 |
| danley | thanks ActionPa1snip, varunendra. do you guys think this: http://djlab.com/2010/10/fixing-rtl8111-8168b-driver-debian-ubuntu/ in the update would work? | 10:37 |
| varunendra | danley, no that is a different driver | 10:37 |
| danley | but the principle, I mean | 10:38 |
| varunendra | danley, yes, if that talks about "howto build one" then it should be same. | 10:38 |
| varunendra | danley, just re-read your original question, even the driver is same (/facepalms) | 10:40 |
| varunendra | danley, but why do you need it? The native one is good enough now. (r8169) | 10:40 |
| blazemore | varunendra: For me, I have to remove r8169 and install r8168 or I get dropped frames | 10:42 |
| varunendra | blazemore, still?? On 12.04 or later ?? | 10:42 |
| blazemore | Although it's improved since 12.04 | 10:42 |
| patsToms | morning, I want to use open box with one window there. But seems I need vnc to push some buttons there. I have ubuntu server 13 | 10:42 |
| patsToms | any ideas? | 10:43 |
| blazemore | In fact, I don't *have* to any more, but I get slightly better perforance if I do | 10:43 |
| varunendra | blazemore, it used to be a problem in 10.04, but not anymore it seems | 10:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | patsToms: why not use X forwarding and run the app you need | 10:43 |
| danley | varunendra, well, the old board broke, I replaced it, the new one had this chipset and ubuntu didn't identify any network device | 10:43 |
| patsToms | ActionPa1snip, X forwarding? | 10:43 |
| danley | so I installed the one from realtek | 10:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | patsToms: it will run the app on the server but display on you client PC | 10:43 |
| danley | I'm using 12.04 server edition | 10:43 |
| danley | it's just a little atom as NAS and media server etc | 10:43 |
| patsToms | ActionPa1snip, thanks about info. Found something online, will try :) | 10:44 |
| varunendra | danley, did the 8168 work? Because there seems to be a new problem with that particular chip, where none of the drivers work.. (a BIOS reset *sometimes* fixes it) | 10:44 |
| danley | and it seems to have worked. at least the output of dkms is thumbs up. thanks again varunendra and ActionPa1snip. | 10:45 |
| danley | it does work with realtek's driver | 10:45 |
| danley | 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168B PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet controller (rev 06) | 10:45 |
| varunendra | danley, that's a useful info. | 10:45 |
| danley | that's the one I have | 10:45 |
| danley | the driver version I downloaded is 8.036.00 | 10:46 |
| varunendra | danley, the newest one available I guess :) | 10:46 |
| danley | yup. released on 2013/6/17 | 10:47 |
| varunendra | okkay, gotta try that one again next time :) Thanks danley | 10:48 |
| danley | varunendra, there, save you 2 seconds of googling: http://www.realtek.com.tw/downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=13&PFid=5&Level=5&Conn=4&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false | 10:49 |
| varunendra | danley, don't worry about the link. I visit there probably 4-5 times a week... for different drivers though.. lol But thanks for your concern. | 10:50 |
| Tex_Nick | 13.04 ... i've been using the Golden Frog vyprVPN for a couple weeks now ... my ISP connection is 15Mbps, but with VPN enabled the system monitor network monitor sometimes shows about 2.8Mbps ... would that be a true speed ? It seems a lot faster | 10:55 |
| === dgfdgf is now known as `MArceLL` | ||
| blazemore | Tex_Nick: You could always use http://speedtest.net | 10:57 |
| Quest | blazemore, i can mount it in linux now. but some files that i recently copied to the truecrypt file in linux are lost | 10:58 |
| nirvana | hello i want to restrict some tools/files from being accessed by certain users, whats the best tool for it? | 10:59 |
| blazemore | nirvana: Add the restricted users to a group, then use the file manager to restrict that group from accessing the files | 11:00 |
| Tex_Nick | blazemore: yeah have done that ... but actual DL speeds seem to be about twice as fast as what speakeasy.net/speedtest shows ... kinda an enigma | 11:02 |
| HurricaneTornado | hello everyone | 11:02 |
| HurricaneTornado | need some tornadoes | 11:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: the OS does that, you have group ownership and individual ownership | 11:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: you can put users in groups then give that group the ownership of the folders and files | 11:02 |
| blazemore | Tex_Nick: Your true speed will depend on the upload speed of the server. What is your actual question here? | 11:03 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: also FYI, there is no single best tool for anything, you have options | 11:03 |
| nirvana | what if i have 20 tools (e.g: curl,nmap) to not being accessed to 10 users so i grouped them in a restricted group, so lets say i want to allow user A use nmap tool so i just remove him from the group, but that would make him use curl tool and others? | 11:04 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: then set the group ownership to a group, leave the user owner as root, then deny all other users access | 11:05 |
| HurricaneTornado | i love hurricanes and tornadoes!!!!!! | 11:05 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: make the application be chmodded to 550 (owner and group read and execute and everyone else zero access) | 11:05 |
| Quest | blazemore, i can mount it in linux now. but some files that i recently copied to the truecrypt file in linux are lost | 11:05 |
| ActionPa1snip | HurricaneTornado: please stick to the channe topic | 11:05 |
| Quest | blazemore, so thats gone? | 11:06 |
| blazemore | Quest: Probably; yes. Any reason you're using ntfs? | 11:06 |
| HurricaneTornado | i dont know wh at the topic is | 11:06 |
| M4he | Hi everybody! How can I change the terminal which is opened by nautilus-open-terminal ? It defaults to xterm when gnome-terminal isn't installed but I want it to open xfce4-terminal. | 11:06 |
| ActionPa1snip | HurricaneTornado: ubuntu support, and ONLY ubuntu support | 11:06 |
| nirvana | ActionPa1snip: i need a reading, any tutorial or docs for that sir? i know i can google, but you know better which one i should read | 11:06 |
| Quest | blazemore, yes. have to acces files on both linux and windows. otherwise i prefere ext | 11:07 |
| HurricaneTornado | what channels are there here? | 11:07 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: look into Linux ACLs and chmod and chown and chgrp | 11:07 |
| DJones | !alis | HurricaneTornado | 11:07 |
| ActionPa1snip | !alis | HurricaneTornado | 11:07 |
| ubottu | HurricaneTornado: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 11:07 |
| nirvana | ok sir | 11:07 |
| blazemore | Quest: Fat32 is a bit safer | 11:07 |
| histo | nirvana: what is the ultimate goal for restricting them? | 11:07 |
| blazemore | M4he: sudo apt-get install dconf-tools | 11:07 |
| Quest | blazemore, it cant have more thatn 4g files | 11:07 |
| blazemore | M4he: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.default-applications.terminal exec xfce4-terminal | 11:07 |
| nirvana | histo: im learning sir, trial and errors | 11:08 |
| blazemore | Quest: Then always make sure you safely unmount your NTFS volumes when you're finished with them, in both Linux and Windows | 11:08 |
| histo | nirvana: Well don't allow them sudo access then | 11:08 |
| Quest | blazemore, ok | 11:08 |
| Quest | blazemore, ok thanks | 11:08 |
| blazemore | !ntfs | Quest | 11:08 |
| ubottu | Quest: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 11:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: if a user has sudo access it will trump anything you do, root can access and do anything at all | 11:09 |
| blazemore | Oh Quest sorry I thought that like wuld be more useful | 11:09 |
| nirvana | histo: ah so the easiest way is to restrict the tools to only being access by root | 11:09 |
| blazemore | *link *would | 11:09 |
| nirvana | so i dont need to worry about the group thing | 11:09 |
| Quest | blazemore, ubuntu already have ntfs-3g | 11:10 |
| M4he | blazemore: Thanks. This line worked with nautilus 3.4 but it doesn't with 3.6 on 13.04 now | 11:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: only people in the sudo group can run admin tasks | 11:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: using apt-get to update the OS is an admin task | 11:10 |
| histo | nirvana: What are the "tools" you are worried about? | 11:10 |
| nirvana | ActionPa1snip: i know but i want to restrict certain tools, or maybe some modules in python so they cant use em | 11:12 |
| nirvana | histo: i dont know, maybe telnet | 11:12 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: you can use visudo to control what commands your sudo users can and cannot run, the default is all commands but you can lock them down as you need | 11:12 |
| histo | nirvana: what's the fear that the users can't use telnet? | 11:13 |
| nirvana | ActionPa1snip: ill take a look on it | 11:13 |
| histo | nirvana: sorry let me rephrase.. Why are you trying to restrict access to telnet? | 11:14 |
| ActionPa1snip | nirvana: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sudoers#Command_Aliases | 11:15 |
| nirvana | histo: forget the telnet sir lol, for example i got this free public shell, and i use it for download/upload stuff from some file hosting, like download movie and transfer them to dropbox, so i learn it and i know bad users management is dangerous | 11:16 |
| nirvana | ActionPa1snip: ok | 11:16 |
| histo | nirvana: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo Please read and understand this then. | 11:17 |
| DJHenjin | this is odd, I set up public key authentication on my server successfully a couple weeks ago and disabled password login, It was working fine until as far as i can tell a few minutes ago when I tried to login to SFTP with winSCP with the correct private key | 11:24 |
| DJHenjin | now I cannot even log in using putty with the correct private key either, | 11:24 |
| DJHenjin | I get "server refused our key" in the console window in putty, then I get a pop up saying "no supported auth methods available( server sent pub key)" | 11:25 |
| DJHenjin | this is really really bad as this is a production server, and if I get logged out of the 1 session I have open currently I am screwed | 11:26 |

| trueneu | DJHenjin, just re-enable it back temporarily and don't leave only one way to access a server. Never. Ever. Then investigate what's wrong with the keys. | 11:30 |

| zatricky | Hey, all. I asked already in #ubuntu-server but it seems its a tumbleweed town ... | 11:33 |
| zatricky | I updated my personal server at home last night from 12.10 to 13.04 - the upgrade went smoothly except that the new kernel (3.8) doesn't finish booting. There are no clues given except for an error saying "Timed out", and "Dropping to a shell". | 11:33 |
| zorael | Memory fails me; isn't there a tool in the repos to conveniently tweak package dependencies? Say I want to change a hard dep into a recommends. | 11:33 |
| DJHenjin | password auth re enabled, now to figure out why my public key auth is screwged | 11:33 |
| zatricky | The server runs off a 60GB Intel SSD with btrfs - which works without any issue with the previous kernel (3.5) | 11:33 |
| zatricky | I've done a lot of googling but I'm not seeing much info relevant either to btrfs or simply "Timed out" in relation to the a boot process failure :-/ Is this a known issue perhaps? | 11:33 |

| bonii | Hi, I have a Lenovo T420. I run xmonad and I am trying to configure my system to run 2 external monitors (one via VGA and other via DVI/Displayport) so that I can run diffrent workspaces on different monitors in xmonad. I dont want to use the display on the Lenovo laptop when I use the external displays. Can someone please point me how can I configure xorg for this setup ? | 12:24 |
| jrib | CaptainQuirk: are you sure your terminal didn't open, echo test, and then quit very quickly (this is what should happen)? Why don't you try "nano" instead of "echo test"? | 12:25 |

| MaurizioB | hello,I'm trying to install 13.04 as guest on a gentoo host using virtualbox, but I have issues with both the installer and the live disc, is there a particular procedure that I should follow? | 13:40 |
| joy | hi there | 13:41 |
| xangua | MaurizioB: telling the issues would be one | 13:41 |
| MonkeyDust | md5 | MaurizioB make sure the iso not corrupt | 13:41 |
| MaurizioB | sure :) | 13:41 |
| joy | what is this message means Init: no more processes left in this runlevel | 13:41 |
| MaurizioB | The first issue I see with the live is that X starts but hangs on compiz, giving an error | 13:42 |
| MonkeyDust | MaurizioB https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM | 13:42 |
| MaurizioB | I'm going to checksum the iso right now | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | MaurizioB: which flavour of 13.04 are you using? | 13:43 |
| MaurizioB | ok, the checksum is fine | 13:44 |
| MaurizioB | ActionParsnip: desktop-i386 | 13:44 |
| zteam | Hi all | 13:44 |
| sebrock | can anyone help me setup a L2TP tunnel? Nothing seems to happen to the tunnel | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | MaurizioB: yes but Ubuntu, Xubuntu, Kubuntu, Lubuntu? | 13:44 |
| MaurizioB | ubuntu, sorry :) | 13:44 |
| ActionParsnip | MaurizioB: i'd suggest Xubuntu or Lubuntu in a VM, they are lighter so will impact less on the host | 13:45 |
| MonkeyDust | idd | 13:45 |
| blast_hardcheese | What is in charge of filling up /boot/ on ubuntu servers? | 13:45 |
| zteam | I have a very annoying issue with my Ubuntu 13.04 installation, about half the time then I start my computer the system forget to start up Lightdm | 13:45 |
| MonkeyDust | MaurizioB and if you're skilled enough for Gentoo, you may want to try the mini iso, too | 13:46 |
| MaurizioB | ok. do you know if they differ in the chrome/chromium installation? | 13:46 |
| zykotick9 | blast_hardcheese: kernels perhaps? | 13:46 |
| MaurizioB | MonkeyDust: I did, I have problems with that too :( | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | MaurizioB: its the same install souce and method | 13:46 |
| zteam | I'm using Ubuntu on a Kingston SSDNow V300 120 GB with a Gigabyte GA-ma770 DS3 motherboard | 13:46 |
| MaurizioB | ActionParsnip: thanks | 13:46 |
| zteam | anyone got some easy fix? | 13:47 |
| MaurizioB | with the mini install I get a base-installer/kernel/failed-install | 13:47 |
| luv2dev | @jrib how can i use ubuntu in windows 7 as a dual boot without affecting my files and folder? | 13:47 |
| blast_hardcheese | zykotick9: Yes, of course. I guess a more direct question would have been "What pedantically installs every available kernel immediately as it comes out?" | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | zteam: you could add to restart lightdm in /etc/rc.local | 13:47 |
| ActionParsnip | luv2dev: win7 can resize its own NTFS partition | 13:48 |
| zteam | ActionParsnip, okey, do you think that solve it? :-) | 13:48 |
| blast_hardcheese | I recognize security and whatnot, but considering that this machine is already behind a firewall (and it doesn't get used very much), it's really annoying | 13:48 |
| zykotick9 | blast_hardcheese: that's normal ubuntu update behaviour. do you actually "need" a separate /boot? | 13:48 |
| blast_hardcheese | zykotick9: /boot is 500 megs, that should be more than enough for anything | 13:49 |
| zykotick9 | blast_hardcheese: without a "need" a separate /boot is foolish... good luck. | 13:49 |
| MaurizioB | Ok, I'm downloading lubuntu | 13:50 |
| === developer is now known as operator | ||
| ActionParsnip | zteam: is the OS fully updated | 13:50 |
| blast_hardcheese | zykotick9: The "need" for /boot/ is so that things like Ubuntu downloading too many kernels doesn't impact the functionality of the rest of the system. I'd much rather have /boot fill up than /. | 13:50 |
| zteam | ActionParsnip, yesterday it was, but now I see some more updates | 13:51 |

| ActionParsnip | columb: in future can you use FULL product names, only use defacto acronyms, save confusion | 13:57 |
| giwrgaras | in the ubuntu install i dont get a 'install alongside windows'. all i get is delete win install ubuntu with 2 subselections, and then an 'other' option' | 13:58 |
| MaurizioB | jbroome: right :) | 13:58 |
| MonkeyDust | columb http://appdb.winehq.org/ | 13:58 |
| giwrgaras | i choose the other, it tells something about partitions and it has lots of file types. fat16,32 and some other strange stuff. | 13:58 |
| giwrgaras | is there any tutorial on what do i do in this case or anyone can help on this one? | 13:58 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras select "other" | 13:58 |
| sebastia | so I'm still on 10.04 LTS and need a newer version of xl2tpd. How can I fix this? | 13:59 |
| giwrgaras | yeah that wasnt so hard but what then | 13:59 |
| zteam | ActionParsnip, if I want to try to start lightdm from rc.local do I have to be root? | 13:59 |
| giwrgaras | 10 file types and i have no idea what are they | 13:59 |
| xangua | sebastia upgrade to a supported ubuntu version | 13:59 |
| ActionParsnip | zteam: command in rc.local are ran as root, add the command above the 'exit 0' line | 13:59 |
| sebastia | xangua: obviously, but that is not an option. I have to stick with LTS | 13:59 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: You have to decide which partition(s) to use or shrink to provide free space. | 13:59 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras ext4 for ubuntu | 13:59 |
| giwrgaras | which one do you use? | 14:00 |
| giwrgaras | ext4? | 14:00 |
| MonkeyDust | sebastia you can easily upgrade to 12.04 LTS | 14:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sebastia: do you have a desktop UI with mouse pointer and nautilus file browser? | 14:00 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: yes | 14:00 |
| zteam | ActionParsnip, okey so just "start ligthtdm" then right? | 14:00 |
| giwrgaras | also when i choose something, it said something else about not having a root | 14:00 |
| sebastia | ActionParsnip: no this is a server edition, terminal only | 14:00 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: What size is your hard drive? | 14:00 |
| giwrgaras | 500gb | 14:00 |
| MonkeyDust | sebastia you need /home, / and swap | 14:00 |
| sebastia | MonkeyDust: policywise I cannot do it | 14:00 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: So how much did you set aside for Ubuntu install? | 14:01 |
| MonkeyDust | sebastia and 10.04 for the desktop is !eol, dead | 14:01 |
| giwrgaras | 40gb | 14:01 |
| sebastia | no its not, its LTS to 2015 | 14:01 |
| MonkeyDust | sebastia for the server | 14:01 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: How much RAM does this computer have? | 14:01 |
| sebastia | I have the server, as I wrote | 14:01 |
| giwrgaras | 4gb | 14:02 |
| zteam | sebastia, you really should move (or talk to the admin about moving to Ubuntu 12.04) | 14:02 |
| MonkeyDust | sebastia great, there's also #ubuntu-server | 14:02 |
| sebastia | where no one answers ever | 14:02 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: Make 2 partitions, one 4G swap partition and the rest for / | 14:02 |
| MonkeyDust | sebastia maybe because no one has the answer | 14:02 |
| sebastia | there is no activity of any sort | 14:03 |
| giwrgaras | file ext4 or swap? cause it also had a swap option | 14:03 |
| OerHeks | sebastia, upgrading to 1.04 lts does not infringe your policy, and you have newer packages | 14:03 |
| OerHeks | 12.04* | 14:03 |
| giwrgaras | also despite all that it asked for a root, and its submenue it had 2 options: dos and windows | 14:03 |
| giwrgaras | installer or something dont remember exactly | 14:03 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: one swap partition (un-formatted), the other prtition for / should be ext4 | 14:04 |
| nzee | How do I set a password for user 'ubuntu'? | 14:04 |
| Pici | sebastia: While 10.04 is still supported on the server, it doesn't mean that it gets new packages. You'd either need to build from source or find a PPA to get a newer version of that particular package. | 14:04 |
| MonkeyDust | nzee in a live sessio? | 14:04 |
| MonkeyDust | session* | 14:04 |
| sebastia | Pici pr can I create a PPA myself? | 14:04 |
| nzee | MonkeyDust: Yes | 14:04 |

| === Guest51964 is now known as Tm_T | ||
| Pici | !newppa | sebastia sure | 14:04 |

| giwrgaras | so ill have 3 partitions: swap unfortmated, ext4 (40gb?) and the existing windows i leave it as is | 14:05 |
| nzee | usr13: it asks for current unix password. I haven't set any password. | 14:05 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: correct | 14:05 |
| sebastia | thanks, I'll look into it... | 14:05 |
| usr13 | nzee: then leave it blank | 14:05 |
| MaurizioB | nzee: who is asking? | 14:05 |
| giwrgaras | how many gbs for the swap? | 14:05 |
| === Retro is now known as Guest63131 | ||
| nzee | MaurizioB: passwd asks for current unix password. | 14:05 |
| usr13 | nzee: But I'm not sure how you'd have a user account without a password....? | 14:05 |
| MaurizioB | leave it empty | 14:06 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: how much ram do you have | 14:06 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras but consider creating a separate /home partition, it's easier to fresh install or reinstall afterwards | 14:06 |
| MaurizioB | just press enter | 14:06 |
| MaurizioB | (i think, I never used a no password system) | 14:06 |
| usr13 | nzee: Is it that you have forgotten your password? | 14:06 |
| giwrgaras | i think this is exactly what he recommended | 14:06 |
| zteam | sebastia, https://launchpad.net/~sdeziel/+archive/ppa/+build/2283159 | 14:06 |
| nzee | MaurizioB: leaving blank gives me "passwd: Authentication token manipulation error" | 14:06 |

| ubottu | nzee: Forgot your password? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword What's the root password? See !sudo. Don't see *** in password prompts? That's normal.

| === tomaw is now known as 5EXAA21C0 | ||
| MonkeyDust | nzee i guess in a live session, you shouldnt need a password | 14:07 |
| giwrgaras | MonkeyDust a swap partition for the root, the / partition is ext4 file with 40gb alocated to it | 14:07 |
| giwrgaras | is that what you meant also MonkeyDust? | 14:07 |
| === 5EXAA21C0 is now known as tomaw | ||
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras no, 10-15 is enough for / | 14:07 |
| giwrgaras | for the swap? | 14:08 |
| giwrgaras | how many | 14:08 |
| nzee | MonkeyDust: once I goto su postgres, how do I then come back to user:ubuntu, it asks for password which I have never set. | 14:08 |
| usr13 | MonkeyDust: He only allocated 40G for the Ubuntu install. | 14:08 |
| nzee | MonkeyDust: I have just started an EC2 instance running ubuntu | 14:08 |
| MonkeyDust | ah, missed that part | 14:08 |
| giwrgaras | so how many do you suggest | 14:08 |
| sebastia | zteam: unfortunately i've Amd64 | 14:08 |
| giwrgaras | the swap partition is the main partition that i should alocate more gigs? | 14:09 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: 40G is not much, (when you have a 500G drive). | 14:09 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: No | 14:09 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: 4G is enough | 14:09 |
| giwrgaras | i just want to test them, and to be honest i dont trust linux for stability issues to do anything more than postgres and browsing the internet | 14:10 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: go ask Wikipedia which server OS they use.... | 14:10 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras linux is "famed" for its stabilty, it's more stable than the mainstream OS from Redmond | 14:11 |
| giwrgaras | MonkeyDust crap | 14:11 |
| giwrgaras | maybe its safe | 14:11 |
| giwrgaras | maybe its better and cleverly designed | 14:11 |
| mumpitze1 | it is definitely more stable. tons of servers run it | 14:11 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: go oask ed US Military what OS they use... | 14:11 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras NASA uses Linux, CERN uses Linux | 14:11 |
| giwrgaras | and i manage to crashed it 2 times with installing chromium and firefox? | 14:11 |
| giwrgaras | managed * | 14:12 |
| giwrgaras | i had a wimu | 14:12 |
| mumpitze1 | google is built on linux | 14:12 |
| giwrgaras | through windows you know | 14:12 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: You crashed what? | 14:12 |
| giwrgaras | i had a wimu | 14:12 |
| mumpitze1 | I kinda doubt you crashed linux | 14:12 |
| bekks | Whats a "wimu"? | 14:12 |
| SoP | giwrgaras: being able to crash a linux installation doesnt prove its instability | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: want more examples of big-hitters running Linux.. | 14:13 |
| giwrgaras | an ubuntu version 12.04 | 14:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ? | 14:13 |

| ws2k3 | hello when i try to restart my mysql server is gives me the following message Starting MySQL | 14:13 |

| bekks | mumpitze1: AH! :P | 14:13 |
| asdf__ | if a system is unable to crash itself it is limited | 14:13 |
| Enemtee | wubi is the problem, one of them at least | 14:13 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras wubi is not a real installation | 14:13 |
| Enemtee | ubuntu is leaving wubi for the future, i heard | 14:14 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras that's why you're struggling | 14:14 |
| Enemtee | at least official support for it | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: wubi is not a good solution | 14:14 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: http://www.eweek.com/c/a/Linux-and-Open-Source/Penguin-Moves-to-Disney/ | 14:14 |
| giwrgaras | i saw that ActionParsnip | 14:14 |
| giwrgaras | i strugle for a month now | 14:14 |
| giwrgaras | i liked it but it was a hellish month | 14:15 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Well, he's doing a real install now, so.... | 14:15 |
| jdoles | How can I change the default file browser to use in Firefox (it opens nautilus, while I want it to use something else)? | 14:15 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: so i dont get you stability whinge when so many companies use it on lage scale | 14:15 |
| giwrgaras | maybe they use it only for the 2 3 programs they use and absolutely nothing else | 14:15 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras get rid of wubi and do a real install, outside that other OS | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: wubi is a horrible thing, do a real install and you'll see its fine, if you want super stability then go for Precise | 14:16 |
| usr13 | jdoles: "it opens nautilus" Define "it" | 14:16 |
| giwrgaras | do you think that is the reason? | 14:16 |
| giwrgaras | for my hardships so far? | 14:16 |

| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras yes | 14:16 |
| ActionParsnip | ws2k3: have you asked in #mysql as well | 14:16 |
| jdoles | usr13: when I use "open containing folder". | 14:16 |
| jdoles | usr13: and "it" was "firefox" | 14:17 |
| jdoles | usr13: that's why I said "Firefox". | 14:17 |
| usr13 | jdoles: What exactly are you trying to do? | 14:17 |
| jdoles | Is usr13 a troll? | 14:17 |
| MaurizioB | ok, I'm trying to install lubuntu | 14:17 |

| mumpitze1 | ws2k3: how did you end your mysql server? | 14:18 |
| usr13 | jdoles: What exactly are you trying to do? | 14:18 |
| jdoles | I believe I already solved it myself. | 14:18 |
| ActionParsnip | jdoles: its a fair question. What is 'it'? | 14:18 |
| jdoles | Just need to test it. | 14:18 |
| Pici | jdoles: usr13 is one of our best helpers. Maybe if you rephrased your question we'd be able to help better. | 14:18 |
| Enemtee | giwrgaras: one thing though, 12.04 is good, but not the fastest system, 13.04 is much faster, but not the best overall system | 14:18 |
| jdoles | ActionParsnip: 1) it didn't need further explanation 2) I even said exactly what I talked about. | 14:19 |
| giwrgaras | which one do you suggest? (have in mind i allready have 13.04 burned on disc) | 14:19 |
| Kitt3n | giwrgaras, 13.04 should be fine. | 14:20 |
| MonkeyDust | brb | 14:20 |
| giwrgaras | i just want it to function and not have any more problems. speed is welcomed :) | 14:20 |
| Enemtee | giwrgaras: depends on what you prefer and what you do with your computer. if you game, install 13.04, if you work on it, 12.04 | 14:20 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: precise is LTS so supported til April 2017, Raring is only supported til January 2014 | 14:20 |
| usr13 | jdoles: We think you are on the wrong track here. The question you asked is understandable. Give us more details about what it is you are trying to do and we can advise you better. | 14:20 |
| giwrgaras | yeah but i can upgrade it to a 13.10 or something cant i? | 14:20 |
| Enemtee | giwrgaras: yes | 14:21 |
| jdoles | usr13: please just stop talking to me until I ask a question again. | 14:21 |
| ActionParsnip | Jikan: sure, from 13.04 you can upgrade to 13.04 | 14:21 |
| usr13 | jdoles: Ok | 14:21 |
| jdoles | usr13: and keep in mind that it is your problem solving skills that are flawed. | 14:21 |
| jdoles | usr13: don't blame the user (i.e. me) | 14:21 |
| usr13 | jdoles: Ok | 14:21 |
| jdoles | usr13: thank you | 14:21 |
| mumpitze1 | jdoles: good job for getting help in the future this. thanks for letting us know how you feel about people trying to help you | 14:22 |
| giwrgaras | and the obvious question now: why didnt i get the normal 'installl side by side' option? | 14:22 |
| Kitt3n | giwrgaras, because there's no other operating system on your hard drive? | 14:22 |
| giwrgaras | its on the manual of 13.04 and it is also with pictures for clueless guys like me | 14:22 |
| giwrgaras | it is | 14:23 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: That's what you are doing. But you will initially only get that when there is already some free space, or a second hard drive that has no partitions on it yet. | 14:23 |
| giwrgaras | a windows 8 | 14:23 |
| Enemtee | windows 8.... | 14:23 |

| giwrgaras | ok so i go now: once again: swap 4gb unformated for root, ext4 50gb for data or whatever | 14:26 |
| giwrgaras | mayhem | 14:26 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: What you are headed for is a "dual boot system", which is to say that you will have Ubuntu installed beside MS Windows. A boot loader called grub will be installed to the MBR that will give you options to boot MS Windows or Ubuntu. | 14:26 |
| neXyon | hello, I'm trying to learn Korean and would like to find a touch-type trainer for the korean keyboard, but all the programs like ktouch I found don't support Korean, anyone any idea? | 14:26 |
| SoP | giwrgaras: swap space isnt a data partition, it's an extension of your ram | 14:27 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: No. swap is not for root. The rest is. ( / is root) | 14:27 |
| giwrgaras | ah so | 14:27 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: swap is used to move unused programs and data out of main memory to make your system faster. It can also be used as extra memory if you don't have enough. (But in your case, you have enough, so....) | 14:28 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: By "main memory" I am referring to RAM, (Random Access Memory). | 14:28 |
| giwrgaras | ok c u in a while then | 14:29 |
| giwrgaras | and then i get the install side by side? | 14:29 |
| SoP | giwrgaras: you need a / (root) partition, swap space (extension of your RAM) and possibly a /home partition | 14:29 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: Yes. ANd be sure to tell it to let grub boot loader be written to MBR | 14:29 |

| usr13 | giwrgaras: Yes | 14:31 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: then 4.4Gb for swap | 14:31 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: 4G for swap partition | 14:31 |
| giwrgaras | why .4? | 14:31 |
| SoP | giwrgaras: that's perfect | 14:31 |
| usr13 | giwrgaras: Because that is how much RAM you have. (It is a good idea to match the swap partition to the size of your RAM). | 14:32 |
| SoP | what are the main advantages of gpt over mbr? I recently did a fresh install using gpt and found out the hard way my motherboard doesn't support it | 14:32 |
| usr13 | SoP: He has only allocated 40G for the Ubuntu install and so I advised him to just use two partitions, swap and / | 14:32 |
| giwrgaras | ok i go im very curious to see if ive got better speed and experience from the one i had with wubi | 14:33 |
| Kitt3n | SoP, GPT is needed for EFI based computers, it also doesn't limit you to 4 primary partitions. | 14:33 |

| usr13 | SoP: A Master Boot Record (MBR) is a special type of boot sector at the very beginning of partitioned computer mass storage devices like fixed disks or removable drives intended for use with IBM PC-compatible systems and beyond. he MBR holds the information on how the logical partitions, containing file systems, are organized on that medium.

| happyfac1 | blazemore: oh I already tried that, I guess it does hide the headers then... doh! thanks | 15:04 |
| blazemore | lmat: the service is just called ssh though | 15:04 |
| lmat | If sshd isn't running, it's not possible to ssh to a server. | 15:04 |
| blazemore | lmat: since ssh client doesn't run as a service | 15:04 |
| lmat | blazemore: that's confusing. Even more confusing is that I'm reading instructions that say to run ` # service sshd reload` | 15:05 |
| blazemore | lmat: Are they instructions for Ubuntu? | 15:05 |
| lmat | blazemore: But it makes sense. Now what's also confusing is that ssh_config has "Port 22" in it. | 15:05 |
| lmat | blazemore: no. | 15:05 |
| blazemore | lmat: The distro they're aimed at probably names the ssh server service "sshd" instead of Ubuntu's "ssh" | 15:06 |
| mfilipe | usr13: yes | 15:06 |
| Azjo | hi, anyone interested in tour de france, and has android? :) need some specific help. | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Azjo: how is that Ubuntu related? | 15:06 |
| lmat | blazemore: ah, thanks for clearing that up. It's OpenBSD | 15:06 |
| mfilipe | usr13: you don't need do that because the kernel is in memory now | 15:06 |
| blazemore | lmat: I would expect ssh_config to have "Port 22" in it, since that is the file which defines the default settings for the ssh client | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Azjo: please try in #ubuntu-offtopic | 15:06 |
| mfilipe | problably it will be instable but your computer will work | 15:06 |
| lmat | So, a line like " Port 32057" daesn't have any effect in ssh_config, ja? | 15:06 |
| blazemore | lmat: It's just saying "by default, try to connect to hosts on port 22" | 15:06 |
| lmat | blazemore: oh, okay. | 15:06 |
| DJones | Azjo: I think there is a ##android channel | 15:06 |
| Azjo | meh, only 190 users in there | 15:06 |
| lmat | blazemore: You're helping a lot. I'll get back to work now :) | 15:06 |
| mfilipe | ActionParsnip, usr13: this works!!!! $ sudo apt-get remove 'linux-(image|headers)-3.5.0-(3[0-2]|2[0-9])' | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Azjo: so? | 15:07 |
| blazemore | lmat: If you're trying to configure your ssh SERVER have a look in /etc/sshd_config | 15:07 |
| Azjo | i just went here cos there is most people here ;) | 15:07 |
| Pici | Azjo: And this channel is for Ubuntu support only. | 15:07 |
| mfilipe | but I have to do that for each branch | 15:07 |
| blazemore | !ot | Azjo | 15:07 |
| ubottu | Azjo: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Azjo: ts offtopic here, population is moot | 15:07 |
| DJones | Azjo: There may be more people here, but the channel is for Ubuntu support | 15:07 |
| lmat | blazemore: thanks thanks! | 15:07 |
| Azjo | sry, had to try ;) | 15:07 |
| usr13 | mfilipe: Good. So look and see what you have left. | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | mfilipe: nice regexing :) | 15:08 |
| usr13 | mfilipe: So are you keeping 3.5.0-36 ? | 15:08 |
| Azjo | yep.. #android is dead as usual :/ | 15:08 |

| Ubuncat | I'm guessing this is not the right channel for my question then? | 15:16 |

| giwrgaras | i think ill try to learn the terminal maybe its worth it | 15:22 |
| ActionParsnip | jgcampbell300: no, you will run them ni a terminal as you need them | 15:22 |

| MonkeyDust | if everything else fails, join #ubuntu | 15:40 |
| blazemore | carl__: What's wrong with it? | 15:40 |
| carl__ | The buttons work for a few seconds, then stop working and I have to unplug it and plug it back in. | 15:40 |
| blazemore | carl__: Are you on a laptop? | 15:41 |
| carl__ | No, Im on a desktop. | 15:41 |
| carl__ | Its a RAT 9 Wireless. | 15:41 |
| trueneu | carl__, wired / wireless ? | 15:41 |

| cantelope | Hello Ubuntu, can anyone help clarify the implications of skipping partition tables and partitioning as a whole? Googling the topic shows that there is much disagreement and misinformation since the majority of results said "you MUST have a partition before you can format with a filesystem" I know this isn't true because currently have an EXT4 laid out on a raw block device. | 15:45 |
| kylepotts | adamk: yep they do. | 15:45 |
| adamk | kylepotts: Yes, I know they do. | 15:45 |
| whoever | kylepotts: so do you have one ? | 15:45 |
| ActionParsnip | cantelope: its a good thing to partition, also remember the target audience of Ubuntu | 15:45 |
| blazemore | carl__: sudo cp /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.bak; wget http://rory.sh/files/mousepatch -O - | sudo tee -a /etc/X11/xorg.conf | 15:46 |
| ActionParsnip | cantelope: yes, its not absolutely needed but partitioning makes the storage more sane | 15:46 |
| kylepotts | whoever: no, I am wondering if anyone here had tried one with worked, or at least knew of one with opensouce drivers | 15:46 |
| blazemore | carl__: And then reboot | 15:46 |
| bekks | blazemore: carl__: No need to reboot - just restart the login manager. | 15:47 |

| === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ | ||
| bekks | blazemore: Yes. | 15:47 |
| cantelope | ActionParsnip: Running on Ubuntu Server 10.04 and not sure where else to ask. I figured it would make growing easier since I won't have to expand both the partition and FS. I see strange things when I look at the block devices using 'lshw' and that made me wonder if there are any other caveats to not having a partition (other than only being able to have one FS - that is what I want) | 15:48 |
| carl__ | No such file or directory. | 15:48 |
| blazemore | I like Linux Mint's way: hitting ctrl-alt-backspace once does nothing, but twice quickly will restart X the old fashioned way | 15:48 |
| blazemore | carl__: run "sudo touch /etc/X11/xorg.conf" first | 15:48 |

| blazemore | carl__: You are using the correct capitalisation? abc is not the same as ABC | 15:52 |
| ahow628 | blazemore: I am using Ubuntu 12.04.2 live usb on my Chromebook and wireless, trackpad, X, etc work fine. After I install, none of them work. | 15:52 |
| blazemore | carl__: If you are, then try "sudo mkdir /etc/X11" first | 15:52 |
| === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry | ||
| blazemore | ahow628: Which Chromebook? | 15:52 |
| ahow628 | CR-48 | 15:52 |
| whoever | kylepotts: see http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O2OCKRh-3ko | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | is that ARM? | 15:53 |
| ahow628 | blazemore: I had it installed before, then upgraded to 13.04 and it would take multiple reboots to boot up. | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | ahow628 is that ARM? | 15:53 |
| ahow628 | I believe so. I had 12.04 installed when it first came out, so I know it should work. Maybe I did use arm, but I don't think so. | 15:53 |
| MonkeyDust | ahow628 is this useful https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM | 15:54 |
| blazemore | ahow628: How about this? http://chromeos-cr48.blogspot.co.uk/2013/05/chrubuntu-one-script-to-rule-them-all_31.html | 15:54 |
| carl__ | Okay, lets see if that worked. Seems better so far. | 15:54 |
| whoever | kylepotts: are you going to try to use this with your box or a rasbarry pi | 15:54 |
| ahow628 | I can boot amd64 live usb and it works fine. I can install amd64 and it boots, but trackpad is broken, wireless is broken, and the resolution is 800x600. | 15:55 |
| nzee | what does this command do? "sudo su - postgres" | 15:55 |
| bekks | nzee: It uses sudo to become "postgres" user. | 15:55 |
| blazemore | nzee: changes you to be the "postgres" user | 15:55 |
| t0k3 | joint gurkensalat | 15:55 |
| t0k3 | join gurkensalat | 15:56 |
| carl__ | I think that its working righ tnow. :) | 15:56 |
| blazemore | carl__: Great :) | 15:56 |
| t0k3 | join #gurkensalat | 15:56 |
| carl__ | Thank you. :) | 15:56 |
| blazemore | t0k3: /join #gurkensalat | 15:56 |
| ahow628 | Sorry, my mistake, it is not ARM, it is Atom. | 15:56 |
| t0k3 | thx | 15:56 |
| nzee | bekks: does it create a new user "postgres", if yes what is its password so that I can enter again? | 15:56 |
| blazemore | nzee: It won't create the user if the user doesn't already exist. It only will switch to an existing user | 15:57 |
| giwrgaras | autocomplete in terminal isnot working? | 15:57 |
| cantelope | ActionParsnip: I also just discovered this and am not sure if it actually means anything. On the same system, I have another md block device which DOES have GPT but gdisk gives this scary output about it: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5847183/ | 15:57 |
| carl__ | Okay, so I installed GLX Dock, how do I get rid of the task bar to the right? | 15:57 |
| t0k3 | what i don't get is why does not every irc client automatically insert the # before the channel? | 15:58 |
| nzee | blazemore: is there a way to get its password? | 15:58 |
| blazemore | nzee: you can't get the password, but you can change it | 15:58 |
| blazemore | nzee: "sudo passwd postgres" | 15:58 |
| ahow628 | blazemore: It is like the drivers for wireless, trackpad, and X are there for the live usb, but then they disappear during install or they try to switch to non-functioning drivers | 15:59 |
| iceroot | nzee: please remember that the postgresql user is not a local system-user | 15:59 |
| iceroot | nzee: i am talking about the database user itself | 15:59 |
| nzee | iceroot: ok | 16:00 |
| ahow628 | blazemore: also I don't think I need that chrubuntu script because I've completely gotten rid of the chromeos partitions and only have ubuntu installed. | 16:00 |
| lovetokill | hello | 16:01 |
| carl__ | Well, at least I have got my mouse working now. :) | 16:01 |
| nzee | blazemore: "sudo passwd postgres" asks for "[sudo] password for postgres: " what do I enter? | 16:02 |
| blazemore | nzee: Not as postgres, as your normal user | 16:02 |
| ActionParsnip | nzee: you need to su to your own user first, then run the command to set to password of the user | 16:02 |
| iceroot | nzee: sudo passwd psotgres is asking your YOUR userpassword after that it will ask for a new postgres password | 16:05 |
| iceroot | nzee: sudo is always asking for the userpassword for the person which is calling sudo | 16:05 |
| beandog | You don't need sudo to get in postgres | 16:06 |
| beandog | psql -U postgres template1 | 16:06 |
| nzee | blazemore: ActionParsnip iceroot Thanks, it worked. Had to change the user and it worked. | 16:06 |
| iceroot | nzee: but again postgres is not a normal system-user it is a database user (imo) | 16:06 |
| geri | hi | 16:06 |
| export | hi geri do you need any help or have any questions? if so go ahead and ask and if anyone can help i'm sure they will | 16:08 |
| blazemore | iceroot: no, if you install postgresql server on Ubuntu, it runs as its own system user | 16:09 |
| geri | i can not run any update from any mirror using sudo apt-get update....but i can ping them .... it just stops here: 0% [Connecting to mirrors.mit.edu (18.7.29.125)] [Connecting to extras.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.33)] ... any ideas? | 16:09 |
| ActionParsnip | geri: switch to the main update server | 16:09 |
| giwrgaras | i cannot access my windows!! why is that? it automatically loads ubuntu | 16:10 |
| geri | which one? | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: run: sudo update-grub do you see windows mentioned | 16:10 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras press esc to enter the grub menu | 16:10 |
| giwrgaras | and it doesnt have an option for dual boot?! i hope it didnt delete the other | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | geri: THE main update server, its selectable in software centre | 16:10 |
| MonkeyDust | geri if you can reach the ip aadress, but not the url, it may be a dns issue | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: still not given the output of my command.... | 16:10 |
| giwrgaras | it did something | 16:10 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: use http://pastie.org to host (or similar) | 16:11 |
| export | <giwrgaras> are you in ubuntu right now? | 16:11 |
| geri | monkeydust same issue: sudo apt-get update 0% [Connecting to archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.92.202)] [Connecting to extras.ubuntu.com (91.189.88.33)] | 16:11 |
| giwrgaras | well i have no other os1! so yes | 16:11 |
| geri | mokeydust i can ping them all | 16:11 |
| MonkeyDust | geri can you ping google.com ? | 16:11 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: also add to the paste: sudo fdisk -l | 16:11 |
| geri | ping archive.ubuntu.com PING archive.ubuntu.com (91.189.92.201) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from urayuli.canonical.com (91.189.92.201): icmp_req=1 ttl=36 time=167 ms | 16:12 |
| geri | mokeydust | 16:12 |
| MonkeyDust | geri ok | 16:12 |
| geri | any idea? | 16:12 |
| trueneu | iptables or anything blocking outgoing connections? | 16:12 |
| MonkeyDust | geri as ActionParsnip suggested, a different server, maybe | 16:13 |
| geri | mokeydust i already tried 5 different servers | 16:13 |
| giwrgaras | http://pastie.org/8113231 | 16:13 |
| geri | all same issue | 16:13 |
| dojha00 | Hey guys, can u plz help me with --- today i was trying to install ubuntu 12.04 in my compaq laptop and it's got stuck at "kernel panic- not syncing: Out of memory and no killable processes... bla bla bla and then panic occurred, switching back to text console".. plz. | 16:13 |
| giwrgaras | i did absolutely what youve told me to and i didnt check it to delete any other os!! | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: there is no NTFS partition there, did you use Wubi? | 16:13 |
| giwrgaras | 'select other i chose' | 16:13 |
| giwrgaras | no from disc | 16:14 |
| giwrgaras | a normal install | 16:14 |
| giwrgaras | a normal 'other' install | 16:14 |
| geri | mokeydust...? | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: then you will need to recover data using backups | 16:14 |
| MonkeyDust | dojha00 first on my mind: it's 64bit ubuntu on 32bit hardware, or the iso may be corrupt | 16:14 |
| === gary is now known as Guest64593 | ||
| giwrgaras | motherfucking piece of shit | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dojha00: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 16:15 |
| giwrgaras | thats for a nice friday afternoon | 16:15 |
| holstein | !language | giwrgaras | 16:15 |
| ubottu | giwrgaras: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 16:15 |
| MonkeyDust | geri no further advice, repeat the issue every 10-15 minutes or so, in one line | 16:15 |
| asim | i m having sound / audio issues with my newly installed ubuntu 12.04 via vmware can someone please help me??? | 16:15 |
| trueneu | geri, do you have iptables or anything else that may block outgoing connections running? | 16:15 |
| bekks | giwrgaras: Thats sounds like "I diont have backups, since my data was too worthless for taking a backup". | 16:15 |
| export | giwrgaras: you formatted your hard drive...we didn't do it. | 16:15 |
| ActionParsnip | asim: if you can run the command I gave earlier, it will help | 16:15 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: the installer gives the option to wipe the drive.. did you have backups? | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | asim: wget -O alsa-info.sh http://www.alsa-project.org/alsa-info.sh && chmod +x ./alsa-info.sh && ./alsa-info.sh --upload | 16:16 |
| giwrgaras | sounds like 'well yeah ' that would be an easy one like with windows' | 16:16 |
| ActionParsnip | asim: run that in a terminal, what is the URL generated please | 16:16 |
| dojha00 | #MonkeyDust nope it's not that problem before i had the same OS installed but after that someone accessed my laptop and deleted the drive in which ubuntu was installed and after that again i tried to install same OS(ubuntu 12.04) and it's showing error. | 16:16 |
| geri | trueneu i use a proxy server | 16:16 |
| bekks | giwrgaras: A backup concept thats needs your OS to be operational to recover data - is not worth even thinking about it. | 16:17 |
| trueneu | Could it be the problem then, geri? | 16:17 |
| ActionParsnip | geri: did you tell apt-get to use a proxy useing apt.conf ? | 16:17 |
| giwrgaras | youre a clever one arent you? | 16:17 |
| giwrgaras | were talking about a simple os install not rocket science | 16:17 |
| MonkeyDust | dojha00 maybe there is some configuration that hasnt been deleted well | 16:17 |
| giwrgaras | but its so crippled that it fucked up from the beggining | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: did you resize your NTFS partition at some point? | 16:18 |
| giwrgaras | god | 16:18 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: look at the drive, and see what partitions are there.. and please watch your language | 16:18 |
| geri | actionparsnip no i did not | 16:18 |
| ActionParsnip | geri: thats why it wont connect then? | 16:18 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: the volunteers here understand how frustrated you must feel.. but please try and be cooporative | 16:18 |
| giwrgaras | if i chose 'YEAH DELETE WIN' then you know i wouldnt mention | 16:19 |
| export | giwrgaras: was there any important information on your hard drive? or was it just windows? | 16:19 |
| h00k | giwrgaras: also, please keep the language appropriate in here as well | 16:19 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: look and confirm that the window partition is there or not | 16:19 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: did you resize your NTFS partition at some point? | 16:19 |
| geri | actionparsnip cant i enter the proxy into .bashrc ? | 16:19 |
| giwrgaras | it was there | 16:19 |
| giwrgaras | saw it didnt touch it | 16:19 |
| giwrgaras | gone to 450000 value at some time | 16:19 |
| blazemore | giwrgaras: Have you tried running "sudo update-grub" ? | 16:19 |
| iceroot | blazemore: ok didnt know that with the postgres user, thank you | 16:19 |
| blazemore | geri: You can, but then it'll only work for the user whose .bashrc you've edited. That might be fine though; it's probabl what I'd do | 16:20 |
| giwrgaras | yes i did it | 16:20 |
| geri_ | ActionParsnip cant i enter the proxy into bashrc? | 16:20 |
| giwrgaras | http://pastie.org/8113231#10 | 16:20 |
| dojha00 | sorry got something important to do will be back soon. :( | 16:20 |
| ActionParsnip | geri: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5847260/ | 16:20 |
| blazemore | giwrgaras: And when you enter the Grub menu by holding Shift during boot, does the entry for Windows show up> | 16:20 |
| giwrgaras | no ive got no idea that i had or have to hold shift | 16:21 |
| excesseye | :quit | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: you needed to resize your NTFS in order to install Ubuntu, Win Vista and later can do this in Windows | 16:21 |
| excesseye | :q | 16:21 |
| export | hey could it be just a missing entry? idk tbh things look bleak but maybe? | 16:21 |
| geri_ | actionparsnip arent there some global proxy settings in bashrc? | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | geri: that's mine, change it to yours obviously | 16:21 |
| ActionParsnip | geri: gksudo gedit /etc/apt/apt.conf | 16:22 |
| giwrgaras | sorry but what you told me? | 16:22 |
| giwrgaras | i think you were here | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | geri: as far as I know, apt uses its own | 16:22 |
| giwrgaras | when i was asking what to do: | 16:22 |
| giwrgaras | just a 4g swap and a 50g ext4 | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: resize then install to free space | 16:22 |
| giwrgaras | oh now you tell me i asked about 4 times? | 16:23 |
| ahow628 | blazemore: I'm going to try downloading 12.04 (not 12.04.2) which was the release when I first installed Ubuntu on my CR-48. We'll see if that works. | 16:23 |
| giwrgaras | 5? | 16:23 |
| giwrgaras | GOD | 16:23 |
| drasko | hi all. How to fetch linux source for currently used debian version? | 16:23 |
| drasko | apt-get install linux-source ? | 16:24 |
| drasko | I want to recompile wifi driver | 16:24 |
| theodorDiaconu | I am trying to connect to a cisco vpn on ubuntu 12.04 lts and under no circumstances it doesn't let me | 16:24 |
| asim | nothing happened | 16:24 |
| theodorDiaconu | I don't get a propper error, all I receive is "cannot connect to vpn" thing | 16:24 |
| SwedeMike | !details | theodorDiaconu | 16:24 |
| ubottu | theodorDiaconu: 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 ..." | 16:24 |
| bekks | drasko: Which ubuntu version do you have? | 16:25 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras partitioning is the hardest part, it kept me from trying linux, years ago | 16:25 |
| SwedeMike | theodorDiaconu: are you trying to use vpnc ? | 16:25 |
| drasko | bekks, precise LTS | 16:25 |
| giwrgaras | it isnt partition i asked 5 times | 16:25 |
| giwrgaras | 'what to do?' | 16:25 |
| giwrgaras | 'this and that?' | 16:25 |
| giwrgaras | 'yeah yeah' | 16:25 |
| giwrgaras | NO WINDOWS | 16:25 |
| asim | i used the command but nothing happened | 16:26 |
| blazemore | giwrgaras: When you installed Ubuntu, how did you resize your NTFS partition? | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | asim: did a file get downloaded? | 16:26 |
| asim | nops | 16:26 |
| theodorDiaconu | SwedeMike: don't have anymore details, sorry | 16:26 |
| giwrgaras | there werent much options friend | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | asim: can you pastebin the command you ran as well as the output please | 16:26 |
| giwrgaras | and to begin with | 16:26 |
| giwrgaras | ~ NO ALONGSIDE WINDOWS INSTALL | 16:26 |
| theodorDiaconu | SwedeMike: I have VPN Type: vpnc in the vpn config entry | 16:26 |
| ActionParsnip | giwrgaras: then why didnt you stop? | 16:27 |
| asim | can u please tell me how to pastebin the command? | 16:27 |
| giwrgaras | because i came here and asked about 4 5 times what to do? | 16:27 |
| asim | i m new to linux | 16:27 |
| giwrgaras | 'hey guys i have this and this' | 16:27 |
| blazemore | giwrgaras: That can happen when you don't shut Windows down cleanly; the Ubuntu installer doesn't recognise the ntfs partition. What you've done, from what I can tell, is blindly continue without understanding what you were doing, now you've deleted your ntfs partition and you're blaming anyone but yourself | 16:27 |
| giwrgaras | 'yeah do that' | 16:27 |
| bekks | !pastebinit | asim | 16:27 |
| ubottu | asim: pastebinit is the command-line equivalent of !pastebin - Command output, or other text can be redirected to pastebinit, which then reports an URL containing the output - To use pastebinit, install the « pastebinit » package from a package manager - Simple usage: command | pastebinit -b http://paste.ubuntu.com | 16:27 |
| giwrgaras | KAPUT | 16:27 |
| blazemore | giwrgaras: If I were you I'd think about what lessons you can take from this experience | 16:28 |
| giwrgaras | yeah | 16:28 |
| giwrgaras | stay away from this peiece of shit | 16:28 |
| giwrgaras | and dont ask here | 16:28 |
| bekks | giwrgaras: Please watch your language. | 16:28 |
| giwrgaras | thanks brainiar | 16:28 |
| blazemore | giwrgaras: That sounds like a plan actually; anything that results in you not coming back in here can only be a good thing | 16:29 |
| asim | so do i need to swtich to the graphic mode in ubuntu to downlaod / install this utility? | 16:29 |
| giwrgaras | and lose the pleasure of your smart company? | 16:29 |
| bekks | asim: No, you can install it from any commandline - text mode, terminal graphics environment, ssh shell, etc. | 16:29 |
| brontosaurusrex | asim, apt-get install yourutility | 16:29 |
| giwrgaras | were else can someone find such help | 16:29 |
| bekks | giwrgaras: Actually, you will. Setting you onto ignore because you dont want to stop ranting. | 16:30 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras what did you do, to make it so troublesome? | 16:30 |
| ActionParsnip | asim: copy the text as you expect and go to the pastebin then past ethe text there, when the page changes, copy the new URL and paste THAT in here | 16:30 |
| giwrgaras | a bekks ignored me thats terrible | 16:30 |
| drasko | and? | 16:30 |
| blazemore | giwrgaras: Setting you to ignore, too | 16:30 |
| asim | can u please tell me the command ?? | 16:30 |
| bazhang | giwrgaras, blazemore thats enough | 16:31 |
| giwrgaras | another smartass ignored me | 16:31 |
| blazemore | It's OK I'm going home now anyway | 16:31 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras how did this all start? | 16:31 |
| giwrgaras | by having a crazy idea of installing ubuntu | 16:32 |
| giwrgaras | to be honest | 16:32 |
| giwrgaras | all other are meaningless now | 16:32 |
| giwrgaras | lost all my data? | 16:32 |
| BluesKaj | giwrgaras, more help depends a lot on attitude ....no one here owes you anything , so a word to the wise should be sufficient | 16:32 |
| giwrgaras | yes | 16:32 |
| MonkeyDust | giwrgaras start from the beginning, what brought you here? | 16:32 |
| rlw | hello ubuntu head, lol, my wireless logo where the time displays isn't showing | 16:32 |
| holstein | rlw: but, the newtwork is working? | 16:33 |
| holstein | !volunteers | giwrgaras | 16:33 |
| ubottu | giwrgaras: The people here are volunteers, your attitude should reflect that. Answers are not always available. See http://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Guidelines | 16:33 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: have you looked to see that the partition is gone? or is windows just not booting from grub? | 16:34 |
| rlw | holstein: yes that's correct | 16:34 |
| drasko | how do we change linux code in ubuntu | 16:34 |
| drasko | kernel | 16:34 |
| giwrgaras | how can i look? | 16:34 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: if you had come here before hand, before doing *anything* that would resize *any* partition, i would have suggested that you have a good backup | 16:35 |
| drasko | how to fetch ubuntu linux of the curent distribution | 16:35 |
| giwrgaras | holstein i was here BEFORE | 16:35 |
| bekks | drasko: Whats the output of "uname -a" please? | 16:35 |
| drasko | kernel source | 16:35 |
| giwrgaras | MUCH BEFORE doing anything | 16:35 |
| drasko | Linux Hegel 3.5.0-34-generic #55~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 7 16:25:50 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux | 16:35 |
| BluesKaj | drasko, read the topic | 16:35 |
| giwrgaras | and spoke and asked 5 times the same thing | 16:35 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: so, you have a backup, then? | 16:35 |
| MonkeyDust | !kernel | drasko start here | 16:35 |
| ubottu | drasko start here: The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 16:35 |
| giwrgaras | so thats why i was asking | 16:35 |
| giwrgaras | if i was to destroy everything i could do it alone i didnt need outside help | 16:36 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: you can run "sudo fdisk -l" from a terminal, and share that via a pastebin, if you need help parsing it.. a volunteer will help | 16:36 |
| wilee-nilee | drasko, do you have one at a time questions in detaill? | 16:36 |
| MonkeyDust | drasko the current kernel used is -28 | 16:36 |
| giwrgaras | http://pastie.org/8113231#10 | 16:36 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: confirm that you have a problem, by checking for the partition.. | 16:36 |
| MonkeyDust | -25* | 16:36 |
| drasko | how do we fetch kernel source | 16:36 |
| rlw | also can I download anti-virus software, not just command line software | 16:36 |
| MonkeyDust | drasko read the link ubottu sent you | 16:37 |
| geri_ | MonkeyDust | 16:37 |
| geri_ | it works now | 16:37 |
| geri_ | but arent there some global proxy settings? | 16:37 |
| holstein | giwrgaras: so, Disk /dev/sda: 500.1 GB is the only disk you have in the machine? | 16:37 |
| MonkeyDust | !info clamtk | rlw | 16:37 |

| trueneu | KDE. Text mode. Ubuntu 12. LAMP. Something is very illogical here. Try Kubuntu, DesignerX. | 16:45 |
| ss_haze | lamp server is some apache setup? | 16:45 |
| DesignerX | I had Ubuntu setup with LAMP, so I just added the KDE , it workd for a while then stopped | 16:45 |
| trueneu | ss_haze, linux mysql apache php stack. | 16:46 |
| ss_haze | hardcore | 16:46 |
| Ban-Hammer | well if you have a desk top , i find the easyest way is to do apt-get install phpmyadmin which happens to add everything you need for your "lamp" | 16:46 |
| DesignerX | that's it | 16:46 |
| rlw | Okay, I've downloaded the .tar.gz of ClamAV - how do I remove the other one | 16:46 |
| Ari-Yang | rlw, what do you mean "other one"? | 16:46 |
| trueneu | Ban-Hammer, nice trick. :) | 16:46 |
| DesignerX | the problem is, KDE is starting as text mode only & not to the GUI | 16:46 |
| rlw | f-prot | 16:46 |
| Ban-Hammer | but i likes short cuts across the grass | 16:47 |
| Kitt3n | Ban-Hammer, easier to install with the XAMPP linux installer :D | 16:47 |

| === nevzets is now known as phallic-cassowar | ||
| Ban-Hammer | yer but my way you git phpmyadmin too | 16:47 |
| Ari-Yang | rlw, how did you install it? | 16:47 |
| ss_haze | problem is kde team is lazy to make stable ubuntu builds or your computer hasn't got enough power, or you did something very wrong | 16:47 |
| Ari-Yang | if you got it via apt-get then sudo apt-get remove f-prot | 16:47 |
| rlw | install what f-prot? | 16:47 |
| Ari-Yang | rlw, how /did/ you install f-prot? | 16:48 |
| rlw | though Command | 16:48 |
| DesignerX | Kitar|st: I used XAMPP at the end after failed testes with installing LAMP one by one | 16:48 |
| Ari-Yang | rlw, you could just google 'how to uninstall a program on ubuntu' | 16:48 |
| Ari-Yang | it's really easy...... | 16:48 |
| rlw | Okay fine | 16:48 |
| DesignerX | ss_haze: its running in a VM, with the same settings, I was able to get to the GUI for the 11st few times, I'm sure this happend after an update | 16:48 |

| syntax_error | hello all | 16:51 |
| nikola_ | hello ppl :), i have a question, if there is a irc chat client, that intergrates with unity?i am on 12.04 LTS | 16:51 |
| ss_haze | quassel is great irc chat client | 16:51 |
| MonkeyDust | nikola_ what do you mean, integrates with unity? | 16:51 |
| wilee-nilee | nikola_, I don't think so they are all independent. | 16:51 |
| ss_haze | atleast for my own very small needs | 16:51 |
| Kitt3n | nikola_, Hexchat is a great irc chat client | 16:51 |
| holstein | rlw: i would try and take the same approach you did to becoming a proffessional on the windows platform.. you are saying "i need AV" and very few linux users have AV | 16:51 |
| Ban-Hammer | ss_haze, whuts it do that xchat dont ? | 16:52 |
| wilee-nilee | +1 hexchat | 16:52 |
| ss_haze | hide a lot of spam | 16:52 |
| holstein | rlw: try and do what you likely did with windows. use the defaults til you have specific needs arise.. if you want AV, install it.. | 16:52 |
| nikola_ | like for example the email client, thunderbird, which i can minize and if a new message arrives the small envelope tyrn blue | 16:52 |
| nikola_ | *turns | 16:52 |
| Ari-Yang | nikola_, for linux I recommend hexchat (gui) and weechat or irssi for terminal | 16:52 |
| ss_haze | and it's qt based, it's like clementine or irc | 16:52 |
| DesignerX | ok ... lolz .. after long research .. found I just had to type "startx' to start up the GUI | 16:52 |
| ss_haze | good one designerX :D | 16:53 |
| Ban-Hammer | <cough> I dont have spam, I read the Man | 16:53 |
| usr13 | nikola_: thunderbird is not an IRC chat client. | 16:53 |
| ss_haze | startxfce4 or startkde also was there | 16:53 |
| nikola_ | i know that is not, i was giving it like an example, what i mean by "integrates with unity" | 16:53 |
| Ari-Yang | nikola_, I don't think there is any...... | 16:54 |
| ss_haze | unity is integrated with anything | 16:54 |
| DesignerX | ss_haze: any idea how I can make it start with KDE & not the text mode ? | 16:54 |
| === georgelappies_ is now known as georgelappies | ||

| ss_haze | then remove it, and try again | 16:55 |

| holstein | dojha00: i would test that iso | 17:05 |
| jpds | dojha00: Yes, you need more memory in your system. | 17:06 |
| dojha00 | holstein iso is okay. | 17:06 |
| holstein | ^^ that too | 17:06 |
| holstein | dojha00: then, move on to the actual error message, as jpds suggests | 17:06 |
| Kitt3n | dojha00, how much memory does your laptop have? | 17:06 |
| dojha00 | it's has 512 mb ram so i donot think that is an issue. | 17:06 |
| jgcampbell300 | holstein, so is it like a proxy or just something you run on each client to answer calls ? | 17:06 |
| jpds | dojha00: You'll need at least 1G for Ubuntu. | 17:06 |
| holstein | jgcampbell300: rdp server | 17:06 |
| jpds | dojha00: 2 to feel comfortable. | 17:06 |
| dojha00 | jpds yes i know but i checked on ubuntu website and recommended is 512mb. and it should be installing. | 17:07 |
| jpds | dojha00: OK, good luck. | 17:07 |
| dojha00 | what good luck? LOL it's not installing. | 17:08 |
| jgcampbell300 | holstein, so rdp server like a ms terminal server ? | 17:08 |
| holstein | jgcampbell300: exactly like a linux rdp server | 17:08 |
| Kitt3n | dojha00, perhaps Puppy linux? | 17:08 |

| adamk | dojha00: Clearly it is an issue... If it weren't an issue, you wouldn't be getting that error message :-) | 17:13 |
| Vec_ | jpds: It seems like such a daunting task to config stuff through SSH compared to clicking on stuff in a panel | 17:13 |
| Kitt3n | darpan, uninstall the open source driver currently in use and install the driver from AMD.com with --force. Don't restart after removing the open source driver. | 17:13 |
| jpds | Vec_: You're better off asking in #ubuntu-server. | 17:13 |
| holstein | esben: what? all players will have a play button | 17:13 |
| Ari-Yang | darpan, personally, ati proprietary drivers are horrible. they have horrible 2d acceleration, the main reason why one would use it if you're a gamer. I'm able to use hdmi and have working audio by adding radeon.audio=1 to the line in GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" of /etc/default/grub | 17:13 |

| adamk | Ari-Yang: And what video card do you have? | 17:13 |
| dojha00 | #adamk yes but it should be having some other solution than i go and change my ram first. | 17:14 |
| esben | so when pressing play it just executes the custom command on the file | 17:14 |

| Ari-Yang | darpan, are you going to be doing hardcore gaming? | 17:14 |
| adamk | Ari-Yang: Right, because it's supported for your GPU. According to the *developers* it's not supported on HD7xxx GPUs. Your advice does not apply. | 17:14 |

| darpan | i i jud typed tht code in terminal | 17:16 |

| Ari-Yang | darpan, check that link | 17:17 |
| darpan | mine is 12.04.02 | 17:18 |

| holstein | darpan: i have migrated from cubase to ardour years ago. i am an ubuntustudio member, and i run 12.04 on my production machine.. what is the issue? | 17:18 |
| darpan | ohk , my issue with ardour is sound card problem | 17:18 |
| === esben is now known as crispy | ||
| holstein | darpan: have you been to #ardour? las is quite helpful.. are you using JACK? | 17:19 |
| dojha00 | #adamk i had ubuntu 12.04 installed in it before then someone accessed my laptop and deleted the derive in which i had installed UBUNTU. and when i come back it was showing "grub-rescue>" since i knew that there is no more grub files so i tried starting a new copy in place of recoverying grub. | 17:19 |

| ubottu | darpan: For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro | 17:19 |
| james41382 | holstein: the first time it stopped responding around 17 gb and the second time around 15, but i think there around 30 gb in there so something is up. | 17:19 |
| jgcampbell300 | oh i see .. xrdp server is so windows machines can make connection to linux pcs | 17:19 |
| holstein | darpan: JACK is where you want to start.. | 17:19 |
| darpan | hmm , no , it is the normal driver , when i open ardour , its not jack | 17:19 |
| === crispy is now known as stupidpassword | ||
| darpan | its oder | 17:19 |
| holstein | darpan: ardour *requires* JACK | 17:19 |
| darpan | ohk | 17:20 |
| holstein | darpan: so, theres the problem.. as i said, you want to start with JACK | 17:20 |
| adamk | dojha00: I'd seriously conisder double checking or triple checking the ram, then. | 17:20 |
| darpan | jack comes with ubuntu studio ? | 17:20 |
| wilee-nilee | !tab > dojha00, a # does not inform the user you are adressing | 17:20 |
| darpan | preinstalled ? | 17:20 |
| holstein | darpan: yes.. and its not trivial.. the link i gave shows how to get is started | 17:20 |
| darpan | okh | 17:20 |
| holstein | !proaudio > darpan | 17:20 |
| ubottu | darpan, please see my private message | 17:20 |
| wilee-nilee | !tab > dojha00, | 17:21 |
| darpan | ohk thnx | 17:21 |
| darpan | wait | 17:21 |
| dojha00 | adamk: double checking or triple checking means?? what should i do ? i donot want to replace my ram atm. | 17:21 |
| dojha00 | thanks everyone for reminding me. :) | 17:21 |
| holstein | darpan: you can use, and test JACK from the live CD.. back when i was migrating, ubuntustudio didnt have a live CD.. we went to a live CD recently | 17:21 |
| adamk | dojha00: Run memtest on the machine for a number of passes. | 17:22 |
| holstein | darpan: you can use the live CD, so you dont "break" your current config... and test different JACK settings on the fly, without worrying | 17:22 |
| darpan | hmm ok | 17:22 |
| holstein | darpan: i use a firewire device, which was a bit more of a challenge back when i migrated | 17:22 |
| darpan | ohh ohk yup , it is challenging | 17:22 |
| holstein | darpan: what audio device are you using? | 17:23 |
| dojha00 | adamk: okay Thanks let me try it then. | 17:23 |
| darpan | i have m-audio micro isb | 17:23 |
| darpan | i m not getin its drives | 17:23 |
| holstein | darpan: isb? drives? | 17:23 |
| darpan | i mean | 17:23 |
| darpan | usb | 17:23 |
| darpan | sory | 17:23 |
| holstein | darpan: you have a usb device, and its not working? | 17:23 |
| darpan | hmm no | 17:23 |
| holstein | darpan: anyways.. what i would suggest is, remove variables.. remove one of the cards, and get jack working, say, on the internal device.. which is likely supported out of the box by JACK | 17:24 |
| darpan | ohk , jack is pro level ? compared to m-audio n al dat | 17:24 |
| darpan | hmm i have heard abt jack , its grt | 17:24 |
| holstein | darpan: then, when you "get your feet wet" with JACK, disable or remove the internal sound card, and go to the maudio device | 17:24 |
| darpan | ohk | 17:24 |
| dojha00 | !adamk how to run memtest? it's has been time and i have been forget. | 17:24 |
| ubottu | dojha00: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:24 |
| holstein | darpan: JACK does what it does.. "prolevel" is a matter of use case and opinion | 17:24 |
| occ | does ubuntu run well on sony laptops? | 17:25 |
| adamk | dojha00: It's availalbe as an option when you boot off the Ubuntu Live CD. | 17:25 |
| darpan | ohk :) | 17:25 |
| holstein | darpan: im sure a professional can sound like an amatuer on amature gear, just as the inverse is possible | 17:25 |
| darpan | is cubase similar to ardour ? | 17:25 |
| darpan | i mean , functionality wide | 17:25 |
| darpan | wise | 17:25 |
| darpan | i knw , its diff , but , user interface wise | 17:26 |
| occ | i think cubase does a bit more | 17:26 |
| holstein | darpan: dont bother yourself with terms such as "pro".. if you want to be in a $200/hour studio, thenn go there.. if you want a very nice DAW, and for free, ubuntustudio with ardour is an excellent choice, and quite capable | 17:26 |
| occ | but they do the same sort of operations | 17:26 |
| dojha00 | adamk: okay let me try. | 17:26 |
| holstein | darpan: ardour is not aiming to emluate anything.. just as cubase is not aiming to emluate or replace ardour | 17:26 |
| darpan | ohk thnaks | 17:26 |
| darpan | thnks | 17:26 |
| holstein | darpan: you *will* have a learning curve, and an "unlearning" curve | 17:26 |
| darpan | hmm yup :0 | 17:27 |
| darpan | u can check my sounds on soundcloud | 17:27 |
| occ | iv only used reaper | 17:27 |
| holstein | darpan: i have been using ardour for about 5 years since leaving cubase, and im still not as fast as i was in cubase.. but, for me, the switch is and was worth it | 17:27 |
| darpan | ohh wow | 17:27 |
| darpan | grt | 17:27 |
| holstein | dont come to ardour for a cubase replacement.. come to ardour becuase you want to use and support FOSS and linux | 17:28 |

| MikeRL | trism: So my router is likely the culprit... But I will ping you later when I find a workaround. Can you try and reproduce this bug at all? If not, I'll add my router model to the LaunchPad page. May be the firewall... | 17:48 |
| adamk | xlinear: The laptop being powerful has no bearing on the fans... | 17:48 |

| reisio | t0th_-: solve what? | 17:49 |
| trueneu | Yep. Put a trailing '/' at source, t0th_-. | 17:49 |
| xlinear | adamk: I think it might have to do with the settings for the CPU/fans. See, my first core gets a lot of use, and frequently climbs to 100%. Then the fans go to full, because something thinks I'm doing something CPU-intensive... but the other cores are idling. | 17:49 |

| trism | MikeRL: no luck reproducing it here, and unfortunately it sees we don't have a debugsym package for the libminiupnpc8 package in raring on ddebs, so it'll be harder to get a better trace | 17:49 |

| adamk | ohnoididitagain: Use the Ubuntu software center or apt-get. | 17:50 |

| MikeRL | reisio: Get them off of Windows? | 17:51 |
| adamk | ohnoididitagain: The Ubuntu Software Center is not a terminal program, though. | 17:51 |
| poz_ | msdaisy, what should i use? | 17:52 |
| reisio | MikeRL: yeah, not worth it | 17:52 |
| ohnoididitagain | adamk: I tried apt-get and here's what UI got: libglu1-mesa is already the newest version. | 17:52 |
| ohnoididitagain | 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 17:52 |
| msdaisy | poz_: iptables or ufw if you have ubuntu installed. | 17:52 |

| poz_ | k | 17:53 |
| adamk | ohnoididitagain: Then you really managed to do something bad to your computer, somehow removing libraries without using the software center or apt-get. Reinstall that package. | 17:53 |
| reisio | MikeRL: my Flash works fine | 17:53 |
| adamk | ohnoididitagain: And hope for the best. | 17:53 |

| msdaisy | poz_: you want to block connections being initiated out on the internet. so block all incoming. if you don't have any services like ssh or lamp running then that would be good. | 18:12 |
| adamk | lotuspsychje: dd operates on the drive... "regular data transfer" suggests something that interacts with the filesystem. | 18:13 |
| Prock81 | poz_ because your router stops connections from being made | 18:13 |

| DylanCl | Hello. Anybody who is good at FFMPEG and streaming? | 18:15 |
| lotuspsychje | adamk: tnx, does dd show progress of the transfer? | 18:15 |

| poz_ | I thought so, but my router firewall is not a problem here. its on and does not cause a problem.... not sure what DMZ stands for | 18:16 |
| holstein | poz_: it stands for "outside the firewall", basically | 18:17 |
| Prock81 | if an app say you got 30 days to use, where would it likely put the 30 day info | 18:17 |
| msdaisy | poz_: yes, computer and router firewalls are different. you need a firewall on your router. some say you need a firewall on your pc behind a router, some say you don't. | 18:17 |

| gustav___ | holstein: Even if you write over an SSD 1000000 times it will still keep the first information. I'm hoping I've understood it wrong. | 19:50 |
| Guest84249 | SSD is a part of your wonderful IT-life, gustav. | 19:50 |
| holstein | gustav___: try it and see.. if its overwritten, its over written | 19:50 |
| Guest84249 | holstein, are you aware of webcamstudio? | 19:50 |
| Guest84249 | I need help with v4l2loopback. | 19:51 |
| holstein | Guest84249: do you need assistance with it? | 19:51 |
| gustav___ | Guest84249: Yeah... unless it stores information I'm trying to write over... | 19:51 |
| Guest84249 | Yes, holstein. | 19:51 |
| TJNII_ | I stopped and started UFW on my server, and on start it set my input policy to DROP with no chains. None of the jumps to the ufw chains were written. Is there a command to force a complete reinitialization of the firewall? | 19:51 |
| Guest84249 | Holstein, it shows "no output" on the bottom. | 19:51 |
| Guest84249 | why is that, holstein? | 19:51 |
| Guest84249 | The virtual-webcam is not created due to "no output" | 19:51 |
| gustav___ | holstein: Too cumbersome. I don't want to destroy my SSD and I don't have the tools to restore data from it so I can't check if it's still on the SSD. | 19:51 |
| holstein | Guest84249: start it from the command line, and see if you see any helpful output.. is the cam working otherwise? | 19:51 |
| DJones | Guest84249: Just email them at the address on the website, they'll pass any info on to the relevant people | 19:51 |
| === Guest84249 is now known as zolstein | ||
| holstein | gustav___: that is how i would confirm. i would run tests on my own... otherwise, you are not mentioning anything that i didnt think affected normal hard drives | 19:52 |
| zolstein | I typed "modprobe webcamstudio" and that works perfectly | 19:52 |
| zolstein | and starting it from webcamstudio opens it, but still "no output" | 19:52 |
| holstein | zolstein: can you use the webcam with anything else? cheese or vlc? | 19:52 |
| zolstein | holstein, no sir. I believe you do not understand me, I want to create a virtual webcam which can display images such as GIFs on it, like typing "v4l2loopback" creates /dev/video1 and on. | 19:53 |
| gustav___ | holstein: What I mean is and what differs from regular spinning disks is that a sector is not written OVER it's written anew and pointed to the new data. So it's like it's burned in the first time and a pointer says which is the current copy. I'm not talking about FS or anything now. | 19:54 |
| === wagle_ is now known as wagle | ||
| holstein | gustav___: ask in a hardware channel, or the manufacturer of your disk.. otherwise, unless one of us tests it, we are speculating.. what you are explaining sounds to me like *any* disk | 19:55 |

| rlw | Okay lol thanks, where the battery showing because i'm using Ubuntu 13.04, and the Internet Icon has gone | 19:58 |

| holstein | rlw: done what? and nope what? | 20:03 |
| rlw | I can't switch to my ISP | 20:03 |
| ikonia | rlw: 1.) is your wireless card detected by ubuntu, yes/no | 20:03 |
| rlw | Switch to the Guest Session | 20:03 |
| rlw | and the icon isn't still showing | 20:03 |
| rlw | yes | 20:03 |
| ikonia | rlw: how do you know | 20:03 |
| dhci | does ubuntu include a package similar to Mathematica or a near equivalent? | 20:04 |
| rlw | It's was showing the other day, Tuesday just gone | 20:04 |
| holstein | rlw: are you connected via wireless? if you have no wifi device configured or turned on, you wont see an icon | 20:04 |
| ikonia | rlw: ok - is it detected now ? | 20:04 |
| holstein | rlw: did you upgrade? and lose it? | 20:04 |
| rlw | I typed in Command: sudo apt-get autoremove | 20:04 |
| holstein | rlw: why? | 20:04 |
| rlw | I then I think that wiped every off there | 20:04 |
| jdoles | dhci: that's a question which is very hard to answer. | 20:05 |
| === jinie is now known as zz_jinie | ||
| jdoles | dhci: it requires someone who is both an expert Mathematica user and an expert user of other such programs. | 20:05 |
| holstein | rlw: if you broke the system, you'll ned to fix it.. please elaboarate about what *exactly* you ran,.. when and why | 20:05 |
| holstein | dhci: there are many package managers | 20:06 |
| dhci | jdoles true and I haven't used much of any of them. i'd like something that can work with binomial trees, perhaps a condensed expression that can do it | 20:06 |
| jdoles | dhci: generally expert Mathematica users aren't expert in all such other systems too and hence nobody will ever be able to tell you the right answer. | 20:06 |
| rlw | I typed in Command: sudo apt-get autoremove then after that I had no menu show then after that I had to install software to get the menu back then, the wireless icon jsut goes | 20:06 |
| rlw | *just | 20:06 |
| jdoles | dhci: binomial trees sound like someonthing that e.g. Axiom or Maxima would have implemented. | 20:06 |
| holstein | rlw: did you note what was being removed? | 20:07 |
| zipy | is it possible to add an existing ext4 partition to lvm? | 20:07 |
| jdoles | dhci: in my experience, there is always some library available somewhere that does what Mathematica does. | 20:07 |
| jdoles | dhci: the advantage of Mathematica is that everything is in one nice package. | 20:07 |
| dhci | ok thanks. i could look for a library too, that's a good point | 20:07 |
| rlw | nope | 20:07 |
| ikonia | zipy: not without losing the data on that partition | 20:07 |

| Sinistry | After trying several distributions I finally have Ubuntu running next to winxp, but I really want Mint... This seems a little slower. When I tried to boot from USB using mint4win it never made it past my hardware/devices screen (the screen I generally see for just a second before the boot logo screen... Any idea why Mint is being so difficult? | 21:33 |
| Sinistry | <SInistry> I've tried several distributions, various versions of 13 and 15 including Mate, Olivia (which I think was the Mate install), etc... Is there a specific distribution that I would need for an older (8 years) pc? | 21:33 |
| MonkeyDust | Sinistry what's 15? | 21:33 |
| Sinistry | I'm total noob so my best guess is Olivia | 21:34 |
| MonkeyDust | Sinistry that's Mint | 21:34 |
| MonkeyDust | try Lubuntu on an old pc | 21:34 |
| Sinistry | I did try Lubuntu and I may go back to it, save I always had to type command "exit" (after a long list of error here and killed this or that) in order to get to the boot screen | 21:35 |
| MacroMan | I'm getting quite confused here. Everyone says Ubuntu doesn't come with a DNS cahce, but if I do "dig example.com", the results clearly show they've originated from 127.0.0.1 (localhost). This is causing me some problems with DNS, namely, how do I clear this cache when it apparently doesn't exist? | 21:36 |
| Sinistry | This is the first distro I've had run smoothly and easily... | 21:36 |
| MonkeyDust | Sinistry great, use the distro that suits you | 21:36 |
| Sinistry | I'd like Mint to go this well, lol | 21:36 |
| Sinistry | lol....I can't | 21:37 |
| MonkeyDust | Sinistry also great, but not supported here | 21:37 |
| saiarcot895 | MacroMan: I believe that's sort of a backward-compatible DNS server that might be used by programs | 21:37 |
| Sinistry | That's why I'm here... I want Mint but it won't install | 21:37 |
| guntbert | Sinistry: mint is not supported here | 21:37 |
| Sinistry | oh...lol...sorry, I thought I was in Linux help...my mistake... thanks | 21:37 |
| MonkeyDust | Sinistry we can help help you with ubuntu, but not with mint | 21:37 |
| saiarcot895 | MacroMan: wait, is it 127.0.0.1 or 127.0.1.1 for you? | 21:38 |
| Sinistry | anyone know a dedicated Mint channel? | 21:38 |
| ikonia | Sinistry: have you even read the mint web page ? | 21:38 |
| MacroMan | saiarcot895, 127.0.0.1 | 21:39 |
| MonkeyDust | Sinistry linuxmint.com, community, chat room | 21:39 |
| MacroMan | I have a LAMP stack installed by tasksel if that makes a difference. | 21:39 |
| saiarcot895 | MacroMan: no idea if that makes a difference, but in my case, it's 127.0.1.1 | 21:39 |
| saiarcot895 | MacroMan: in either case, it doesn't necessarily mean there's a DNS cache | 21:40 |
| Sinistry | I've been trying to soak up so much the past week I couldn't say for sure but I'm confident that I've hit all the popular sites | 21:40 |
| MacroMan | The problem I'm having just seems to be local. I've updated the DNS on my domain, which is fine for everyone else, but my computer tried to load the old IP address still. | 21:40 |
| Sinistry | nm though...I'll look elsewhere... thanks. | 21:41 |

| MacroMan | So 127.0.1.1 seems to be my loopback and 127.0.0.1 seems to be for my local apache server. Seems apache maybe doing some caching. | 21:44 |
| Carlgo11 | ok | 21:44 |
| click | MacroMan : did you add your dns server address in /etc/resolv.conf | 21:44 |
| MacroMan | click, All that is in /etc/resolv.conf is "nameserver 127.0.0.1" | 21:45 |
| MacroMan | I've never edited that file before. | 21:45 |
| Kitt3n | Carlgo11, Boot-Repair should say "EFI detected <bla bla>" then just go into the advanced options and click on purge bootloader and Apply, that SHOULD fix the problem. | 21:46 |
| click | MacroMan : well change that ip with your dns ip | 21:46 |
| Kitt3n | Carlgo11, if it says Boot-Repair failed, reboot anyway and see if the computer boots. < Postinstall bug. | 21:46 |

| Carlgo11 | Kitt3n: nope. No support for such | 22:07 |
| Kitt3n | Carlgo11, *sigh* hmm. | 22:07 |

| Kitt3n | Carlgo11, I would try to get my hands on a computer you can fix the server's bootloader from though. | 22:18 |
| Carlgo11 | oh and do you think that it's the raid that's the problem? | 22:18 |
| Kitt3n | Carlgo11, the bootloader won't install, because grub-efi is a bitch on some systems. | 22:18 |
| Kitt3n | Carlgo11, And to easily fix that, you need Boot-Repair | 22:18 |
| lando-pc | Honestly, if I can get this to work I am going to leave windows for good. | 22:19 |
| Carlgo11 | does any older versions of ubuntu use another boot loader? | 22:19 |
| Kitt3n | Carlgo11, your server is 'efi based' you SHOULDNT use a bios bootloader for it, it's going to do really bad things. | 22:20 |
| Carlgo11 | oh so what do you recommend? | 22:20 |
| elijah | lando-pc++ | 22:20 |

| draconus | Marion i would recommend nginx | 23:40 |
| draconus | you will like the speed | 23:40 |
| draconus | and vhosts in nginx are easy peasy also | 23:40 |
| wilee-nilee | Denii, You running linux mint? | 23:41 |
| usr13 | Denii: Not booting? | 23:42 |
| Marion | draconus: I appreciate the suggestion, but at this time I'm not ready to take on the task of learning that. It's on my list, but there is only so much I can tackle at a time. And I have a LOT on my plate to learn. | 23:44 |
| Denii | im running linux mint, | 23:50 |
| Denii | im just trying to boot from an partition or sometthing.. an guy told me i could do that | 23:51 |
| usr13 | Denii: What do you mean, trying to boot from a partition? | 23:52 |
| Ben64 | Denii: you should ask the mint channel, we do not support linux mint here | 23:53 |
| usr13 | Denii: Did you install grub to the master boot record as usual? Or some alternative method? | 23:53 |
| usr13 | Denii: /join #linuxmint-help | 23:55 |
| usr13 | /join #linuxmint-help | 23:55 |
| usr13 | Denii: #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 23:56 |
| Denii | usr13: i know, but the thing still applies on ubuntu too | 23:57 |
| Denii | i mean grub arent ubuntu right or linux mint? :) | 23:58 |
| weather15 | Denii: Are you answering a question in regards to grub? There are a few other boot loaders. | 23:59 |
| reisio | he's trying to get an answer in regards to grub :) | 23:59 |
