jimi_holy shit an upgrade takes a whole hell of a lot longer than a fresh install00:24
jimi_this is like a 6 hour upgrade00:24
donvitohello is there a way to delete unused linux distro?00:26
congyep that's why a fresh install is better, and it has less things going wrong.00:26
wilee-nileedonvito, Yes what is left and does it boot?00:26
donvitoim upgrading to -49 distro00:26
donvitoso all others i want to delete00:26
wilee-nileedonvito,  -49 distro?00:27
donvito3.2.0-4900:27
donvitosorry00:27
wilee-nileedonvito, Thats a kernel not a OS.00:27
donvitothan sorry again :)00:27
donvitoi want to delete old kernels ;)00:28
Deniireisio: what are you talking about?00:28
wilee-nileedonvito, Here are several ways, using ubuntu-tweak is probably the easiest. http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-to-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu00:29

Deniiwould cinnamon and mate get applied to ubuntu? :D00:39
DeniiUbuntu + MATE, Cinnamon = Linux Mint :)00:40
wilee-nileeDenii, Your argument is a waste of time, we see this all day and night no one is ever helped here.00:41
reisioisn't cinnamon for gnome 3?00:41

reisioDenii: nobody knows what you want anyways00:42
Sazpaimonis there something about ubuntu's disk encryption in recent kernels that isn't compatible with FreeOTFE?00:42
SazpaimonI cannot or the life of me get my dm-crypt partition to be unlocked by it00:43
SazpaimonI know this isn't technically ubuntu but I encrypted the disk using the ubuntu mini iso00:43
reisiogiven that the last release of FreeOTFE was apparently 3+ years ago, that's entirely possible00:43
Deniino, do you?00:44
reisioDenii: pardon?00:44
Sazpaimonyeah it's been a while00:44
SazpaimonI dont know if the implementation of LUKS has changed in recent years00:44
reisioI would be dumbfounded if it hadn't00:44
SazpaimonThat sucks, I'd really like to be able to at least read my rootfs partition in Windows00:44
reisioSazpaimon: so you have older installs that it works with?00:45
Sazpaimonreisio, no, this is my first foray into LUKS00:45
Deniihaha really, that sad00:45
wilee-nileeSazpaimon, You can get all the ubuntu releases if that helps to get in.00:46
=== Cueball_ is now known as Cueball
reisioSazpaimon: oh, so you aren't actually missing something you once had :)00:46
SazpaimonNah00:46
SazpaimonWell if any of the backwards incompatible changes to LUKS increase its security from exploits I would not want to downgrade00:47
SazpaimonI'm also using UEFI so anything before 12.04 would be a problem to install00:47
reisioSazpaimon: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dm-crypt#Compatibility00:47
Sazpaimon"Encrypted Ext2, Ext3 and Ext4 filesystems are supported by use of Ext2Fsd (all ext* versions) or Ext2 Installable File System for Windows (ext2 and ext3 only) and with FreeOTFE"00:48
reisioext2fsd is superior00:48
SazpaimonI have both of these, ext2fsd works with my ext4 /boot/ partition, but FreeOTFE will not accept my passkey00:48
reisiothe way I read it didn't suggest you needed both00:48
SazpaimonWell, you need FreeOTFE to unlock the volume, then ext2fsd to be able to read the ext2/3/4 data00:49
SazpaimonFreeOTFE doesn't support any filesystem, and ext2fsd doesn't support any encryption, you need both to work00:49
reisioah00:49
SazpaimonIt knows the volume is LUKS but it just doesn't accept my password00:50
neworderjrib: Just assume I'm using ubuntu =)00:50
SazpaimonIt's really odd00:50
neworderSo what do I do00:50
neworderWhen I restart my com, the login screen does not appear00:50
reisioSazpaimon: you could do it with a virtualized GNU/Linux system00:50
SazpaimonThat's what I'm gonna have to do :/00:50
reisioyou might check if anybody else has this problem first00:51
switchingdoes anyone know how to enable h.264 support in nightly? I searched for gstreamer.enabled in about:config and nothing came up00:51
wilee-nileeswitching, 13.10?00:51
wilee-nilee!13.1000:51
ubottuUbuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu. Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+100:51
switchingwilee-nilee no 13.0400:51
SazpaimonI have checked, I googled the error message I get from FreeOTFE (Unable to mount volume), and came up empty00:51
wilee-nileeswitching, There is no nightly for 13.0400:51
=== jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x
switchingwilee-nilee i just installed it.. ?00:52
wilee-nileeswitching, check the date, it has been released the nightly's stop then.00:52
Sazpaimonand the program is not verbose enough to tell me what the issue is exactly00:52
reisioSazpaimon: maybe you're just doing something wrong, then00:53
reisiobut even if you weren't, I'd hate to rely on dead software00:53
switchingwilee-nilee sorry, what do you mean "it has been released the nightly's stop then"?00:53
reisiowaste of time even learning how to use it00:53
wilee-nileeswitching, I can't say it any clearer.00:53
Sazpaimonreisio, I agree00:54
switchingwilee-nilee well what is "the nightly's stop"?00:54
Sazpaimonmy only guess is that it doesn't accept a passphrase and only a key?00:54
SazpaimonBecause when it asks me to unlock it, it gives me the option of "user entered" and "read from keyfile" for a key00:54
Sazpaimonwith "read from keyfile" giving the option "Keyfile contains an ASCII password"00:55
wilee-nileeswitching, Ubuntu has a 6month development of each release, at the end of that six months it is called a release, at that point the nightly's that are part of the development cycle stop.00:55
SazpaimonI tried making a text file with my passphrase in it, and feeding it to mount dialog with that option checked, and it still did not work00:55
Sazpaimonis there a way to have dm-crypt require either a key OR a passphrase?00:55
Sazpaimonthen I can just keep the key on my bitlocker encrypted Windows partition and it'd be safe00:55
wilee-nileeswitching, Anyway this is not part of your problem per-say unless you are actually running 13.10 and then #ubuntu+1 is the channel you would use00:56
switchingwilee-nilee I know that, but that shouldn't make enabling gstreamer an issue right?00:56
wilee-nileewhat?00:57
switchingwilee-nilee why does the fact that nightly stops at the end of a development cycle affect one's ability to enable gstreamer in nightly 25 on ubuntu 13.04?00:57
wilee-nileeswitching, WE have to able to communicate, we are actually yet to do so, I can't help good luck. ;)00:58
switchingwilee-nilee haha ok00:58
Sazpaimoncryptsetup luksAddKey /dev/mapper/<device> (/path/to/<additionalkeyfile>) -d /path/to/<keyfile>00:58
Sazpaimonokay00:58
Nick119119Hey guys! Rather complex question this time, as I need help setting up a partition with GParted00:58
SazpaimonI'm gonna try this and add a keyfile to my luks disk and see if FreeOTFE accepts it00:59
switchinganyways, does anyone know why gstreamer.enabled isn't turning up any results in about:config on nightly 25 in ubuntu 13.04?00:59
Sazpaimonhopefully just storing the key on bitlocker will be safe enough00:59
switchingi just made sure that gstreamer is installed, too00:59
Sazpaimoni hate having to depend on bitlocker on windows but it's the only UEFI-compatible boot partition encryption system that can actually be mounted in linux01:00
Sazpaimonand I'm weird and share my home folder on linux with my home folder on windows01:00
reisiowhat now?01:00
wilee-nileeNick119119, can you screenshot it in a imagebin and state you goals.01:00
SazpaimonI mount my home folder from windows as my linux home folder. NTFS-3G works great with it and neither windows nor linux cares01:00
Sazpaimonbeen doing it for about 6 months now01:01
reisioyeah but what about boot partitions?01:01
Nick119119I'm trying to make a partition to install windows 7, so I can boot into it if I need to. What should I screenshot?01:01
SazpaimonThere isn't another disk encryption system that supports encrypting your windows boot partition if you use UEFI that is also compatible with Linux01:01
reisioNick119119: you don't even need a partition, just free space01:01
wilee-nileeNick119119, gparted what you asked about.01:01
reisio20GB's worth01:01
reisioand keep in mind it might wipe out your GRUB01:02
Sazpaimonthere's a few commercial alternatives that support UEFI booting an encrypted windows boot drive, but they don't have unlocking tools on Linux01:02
Nick119119I tried installing it already, it said it couldn't because it wasn't formatted to ntfs or whatever01:02
reisiohttps://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows01:02
SazpaimonBitlocker has both, so I can freely mount windows bitlocker volumes in linux01:02
wilee-nileeno partition=boot partition, if you want one.01:02
reisioNick119119: that is unlikely :)01:02
reisioNick119119: maybe you made a partition and formatted it01:02
reisioNick119119: in any event, it only needs free space, you don't actually have to make a partition01:02
SazpaimonI really wish Truecrypt wasn't essentially a dead project, I'd love to use it in place of Bitlocker01:03
reisioSazpaimon: isn't uefi grand...01:03
reisiotruecrypt is mystery meat01:03
reisiowhy not just keep sensitive data out of your Windows01:03
reisiowhich I assume you use for games01:03
Nick119119http://imagebin.org/26355001:03
pfifohello fellas01:04
Sazpaimonit's not about sensitive data, it's about peace of mind01:04
Nick119119Don't need just free space, cause it wouldn't let me install win7 to either partition because it was an unrecognized format.01:04
reisioSazpaimon: isn't the peace of mind from not having people see your sensitive data? :p01:04
reisioNick119119: partitions aren't free space, they're partitions01:04
reisioNick119119: you only have one hard disk?01:04
wilee-nileeNick119119, As suggested you need a free space fpr windows to install, it will not resize the others01:04
Sazpaimonthe peace of mind is that if my laptop is stolen, I can rest easy knowing that all the drives in it are useless to them01:05
Sazpaimoneven if there's no sensitive data on it01:05
Nick119119But you have to install an OS to a partition, which I can't do because it says it's an invalid format. I have 200gb of free space01:05
reisioSazpaimon: so at most you've lost them $50?01:05
Ben64Sazpaimon: they can just format it...01:05
reisioNick119119: you only have one hard disk?01:05
Nick119119I'm pretty sure01:05
Sazpaimonyeah I mean that they can't access a single thing on it01:05
reisiopeople don't steal laptops to sell them at competitive prices, anyways01:05
reisiothey steal them to sell them for $5 of crack01:06
reisiowhy not use truecrypt then01:06
reisiohas as much of a future as windows01:06
reisioNick119119: okay, then you'll have to resize your partitions to make space if you want to install Windows alongside Ubuntu01:06
reisioNick119119: resizing partitions is not 100% safe, so consider backing up important data if you haven't already beforehand01:07
wilee-nileedo lvm's read a full generally?01:07
wilee-nileeas*01:07
Sazpaimonbecause being able to boot all of my encrypted volumes regardless of the OS on them is important to me01:07
reisiowilee-nilee: ?01:07
Sazpaimoneven if it does mean using closed-source encryption software01:07
reisioSazpaimon: it's just important to most people it's important to because they have sensitive data, was my point :p01:08
wilee-nileereisio, The sda5 says it is full.01:08
reisiooh indeed01:08
SazpaimonI also can't guarantee I won't recieve sensistive data while on windows for whatever reason01:08
wilee-nilee4mib empty, hee01:08
reisioI'm guessing yes, he'd probably have noticed if he only had 4.00 MiB of space left :p01:09
reisioyeah :p01:09
wilee-nileeyeah01:09
reisioSazpaimon: you could, but obviously you don't care to :D which is fine01:09
Sazpaimonso just being able to have peace of mind should that ever happen is great01:09
Sazpaimonwhich also means I have another reason to tell my bosses that it's okay for me to connect my laptop to their internal network01:10
=== kalaka is now known as quatzal
wilee-nileeSazpaimon, All encrypted I doubt you ever have a peace of mind. ;)01:10
Nick119119I can't resize the partition, it lets me click move/resize, but once the menu pops up, the resize button is greyed out no matter what I try01:11
wilee-nileeNick119119, Two things it looks like the partition is completely full, and you have the swap on.01:12
reisioNick119119: is this a laptop?01:12
Nick119119It is a laptop, but I don't have swap on and I have 200gb of free space. The onlyt hings installed are Ubuntu and Minecraft01:12
wilee-nileeor actually sda5 mounted doh01:12
reisioyou might need to resize the lv first01:12
reisioI don't play with lvm often01:12

pfifoIs there a middle ground between sudo -s and sudo -i, I want to become root with everything in my enviroment setup like -s except for HOME and maybe a few others, -i is complete overkill.01:23
wilee-nilee!sudo01:23
ubottusudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo01:23
pfifowilee-nilee, thanks but I just got done checking the manual :) wouldnt have asked without checking first01:24
wilee-nileepfifo, If you had actually researched you would know ubuntu is not designed to run in root and it is detrimantal.01:25
wilee-nileenor will anyone here help you within channel rules.01:25
pfifowilee-nilee, I think you think im asking something else?01:26

pfifoI know knot to set root password and such, ubuntu isnt designed for that. Im tring to use sudo to become root so I can work which is usually done with sudo -i, or atleast thats whats recommended, I however use sudo -s to keep custom PATH and several other things I set as my normal user, but in this case I want to over ride a few things so my enviroment is more suitable for livecd development.01:30
reisiommmm01:30
pfifoIm thinking about just creating a new user with the correct enviroment setup and then switching to that user, and then using sudo -s... but thats quite the workaround01:31

pfifoohh wow, sudo -s and -i isnt supported, thats a new one on me, havent been here in awhile. disregard my issue, ill look elsewhere01:34
SazpaimonI find myself needing to modprobe -r ath9k; modprobe ath9k several times before my wifi card is picked up01:34
Sazpaimonhow can i fix this?01:34
Sazpaimonit's really annoying because I keep running into "waiting 60 more seconds for network configuration" during startup01:36
pfifoSazpaimon, you should only need todo it once to actually load it, reproduce the error and then run it once, then check the output of 'lsmod' to ensure its loaded, if it is loaded then your problem lies elsewhere01:36
Sazpaimoni check lsmod as soon as I log in, ath9k is loaded01:37
Sazpaimonhttp://paste.ubuntu.com/5848529/ here's my dmesg for my most recent boot01:38
Sazpaimonyou can see wlan0 only shows up after a few unloads01:40
SazpaimonI had this same issue with a broadcom card, but I thought it was due to the buggy closed source broadcom drivers, so I switched to the atheros card, with the same problems01:40

xiluxerror02:35
pfifoSnapSnap, pastebin the output of 'dpkg -l | grep ntp' if there is any output02:35
ef5c_ef5cEs0teric, ah; I see.  No, /etc/hosts will be consulted before a DNS for host to IP mappings, so can be used to override those.  But it's not used for port mappings02:35
SonikkuAmericaxentity1x: You mean in Unity?02:35

=== Catalystic is now known as THEtruthHOOA
=== maximus2 is now known as dunce
ef5c_ef5cEs0teric, there is an /etc/services file that maps service names to ports, but it's probably not a good solution for you, because: a) it would only have any effect for apps which look up the port name based on the service name (i.e. not any that hard-code '80'), and b) it affects everything, not just a single destination host02:39

pfifotannji, you can use 'sudo kill <pid>' or very carefully 'sudo killall <program name>' you can append a signal as well for example: 'sudo killall -9 bash' will send a sigkill to every instance of bash on your system02:44

Tony_Starkzsugiart: You can make the lan not connect automatically in the networking settings.02:50
pfifodeSouza, add your fedora listing to '/etc/grub.d/40_custom' and then run 'sudo mkinitramfs'02:50

histoasgardBSD: This is why you use drivers from the repos as the modules will be rebuilt with each new kernel vs. using a 3rd party solution.03:58
Sazpaimonanyone know? I'd like to get ntpd working on my server but its kinda useless if it wont actually adjust the clock03:58
histoSazpaimon: if you install ntpd it should be updating the clock03:59
asgardBSDi just rerun my driver installer04:00
Sazpaimonhisto, I agree04:00
asgardBSDI had to get up to date driver... had a GTX 660 ti04:00
asgardBSDthats still pretty recent (less than one year ago)04:00
thurstylarkvarunendra: as opposed to hot beans. because i let them cool.  ...*noms*04:01
asgardBSDand that distro date from december04:01
asgardBSDMint 1504:01
Sazpaimonexcept it's not, it's logging the fact that the clock is skewed, but not actually adjusting the clock04:01
SazpaimonI see this in my syslog: http://paste.ubuntu.com/04:01
Sazpaimonthere's no way my clock is 13 seconds off in a 5 minute span04:01

asgardBSDlike i said still dont know what i will install, ubunto or mint, since i see no difference between the two (except the desktop installed), been few month i use mint, and i didnt really saw those minty goody everyone is talking about that is supposed to enhence our experience04:04
ubottuasgardBSD: nvidia-current (source: nvidia-graphics-drivers-304): Transitional package for nvidia-current. In component restricted, is optional. Version 304.88-0ubuntu1 (raring), package size 4 kB, installed size 34 kB (Only available for i386; amd64; lpia)04:04
histoasgardBSD: most people use mint for the cinnamon desktop and the mp3 flash out of the box04:04
asgardBSDmp3 out of the box?? Ubuntu also had that last time i used it... a checkbox during installation for restricted software04:05
asgardBSDI liked cinamon, but prefer KDE and gnome 2 over it04:05
histoasgardBSD: I've recommended mint to people who have not used linux before as it's an easier transition from windows to cinnamon vs. unity04:05
asgardBSDand cinamon was buggy04:05
asgardBSDwell, thats been a while i am on linux (since 2-3 year)04:06
asgardBSDThe easier of the distro i tried was debian, from the install it was exactly how i wanteed it04:06
b80905help me   i have installed lxde and now i can't change brightness.04:06
asgardBSDunfortunately, with old package04:06
holsteinb80905: but, you can in other desktop environments?04:07
histob80905: is this a laptop? have you tried the Fn keys for brightness?04:07
asgardBSDits true that with unity, if we dont already know the name of the program we want to start, we are screwed04:07
histoasgardBSD: No there is a dash04:08
holsteinasgardBSD: thats actually a checkbox during install for the fluendo codec.. which is not "restricted" necessarily.. AFAIK, fluendo pays for that for ubuntu, or someone does04:08
histoasgardBSD: Although how would you not know the name of an application you installed04:08
holsteinits not "open", thats for sure04:09
asgardBSDhisto default application installed with the system04:09
asgardBSDholstein: then what does mint use for mp3?04:09
=== jake is now known as Guest92440
histoasgardBSD: I can scroll through the apps in the dash just fine on my ubuntu box.04:09
holsteinasgardBSD: not sure.. could be the same.. but i think its just the "good, bad and ugly" or whatever04:10
histoholstein: gstreamer04:10
holsteinasgardBSD: i agree with histo .. i think its gstreamer they ship04:10
asgardBSDAnyways, the only reason why i run mint at the moment is because at the time i installed it, kubuntu didnt worked well (it had a bug that whenever i had lot of disk write, the system would hang up completely) and mint 15 kde didnt had that bug04:11
asgardBSDfor example, copying a 15 GB file would make my whole system screw up04:11

asgardBSDBut i dont know WHY mint didnt had that bug while kubuntu had it... dosent both are built on the same package?04:13
rodhashreisio, Yes .. I've just plugged in a USB disk with LVM (my older HD) in order to copy some data .. now I need to UNPLUG this disk.04:14
holsteinasgardBSD: sounds like different versions to me04:14
reisioasgardBSD: they aren't 100% the same, that's enough for a bug04:14
reisiorodhash: ah, that's something else04:14
reisiorodhash: umount it to be nice (or right-click eject or something from the file manager)04:14
historodhash: if you sync and umount would be good04:14
reisiorodhash: but just taking it out should also be fine most of the time04:14
asgardBSDwas only happening when i doing massive disk access/write from KDE, from console was fine04:14
asgardBSDstrangely, other people from #kubuntu didnt had that bug04:15

sdf555555Is  there a reason why 13.04 is completely unstable? I know it isn't suppose to be a stable release, but their were a ton of problems on both my desktop/laptop, using standard hardware w/ intel graphics04:59
lotuspsychjesdf555555: 13.04 isnt unstable at all04:59
ahow628Where would be a good place to put this information: Ubuntu 12.04.2 live cd works on a CR-48, but the install breaks trackpad, X, and wireless. Instead, install 12.04.0  and it works flawlessly.04:59
lotuspsychjesdf555555: did you check hardware requierments before installing?05:00
sdf555555well random crashes+ other stuff, that happen to me would say otherwise05:00
lotuspsychjesdf555555: did you clean install or upgrade?05:00
sdf555555clean install on both desktop+laptop05:01
lotuspsychjesdf555555: updated you system and checked additional drivers?05:01
sdf555555I do really like unity7 on it verses the older one, but it kept causing problems to the point I just reinstalled LTS05:02
sdf555555yea, I did updates on them05:02
Ari-Yangif you can run ubuntu 12.04 and 12.10, I think you can run 13.04 just fine....05:02
lotuspsychjesdf555555: any logs we can troubleshoot errors from?05:02
sdf555555and drivers, I won't go into details of the problems, but just want to know if its common for other users of 13.04 having issues05:03
lotuspsychjesdf555555: im running 13.04 64bit without any error mate05:03
Ari-Yangsdf555555, not, not really common I'd say...05:03
varunendraahow628, are you seeking help with that or just want to share that info?05:03
lotuspsychje!details | sdf55555505:03
ubottusdf555555: 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 ..."05:03
sdf555555IRan on my desktop, i5 2300, 6GB ram, 64GB ssd, intel 2000 gpu, and laptop was an dell xps 13 running i5 sandy bridge, don't know the model name off hand, but with 4gb of ram, and 128gb ssd, with intel 300 gpu05:04
ahow628varunendra: I was in here earlier because I was installing 12.04.2 on my Chromebook and it would break wireless, X, and trackpad. So then I tried installing 12.04.0 and it worked properly.05:04
lotuspsychjesdf555555: what kind of errors are we talking about then?05:05
sdf555555everything worked out of the box prefectly, but issues with updates, and lock screens, and other bits after running for a week just made be rage to the point of reinstall LTS on them05:05
lotuspsychjesdf555555: lock screen in what way? define 'issues'05:06
varunendraahow628, you may put that info in one of the stickys in Ubuntu Forums here : http://ubuntuforums.org/forumdisplay.php?f=332 Can't say if there is a better wiki page for all that info combined.05:06
holsteinsdf555555: interesting..05:06
sdf555555random shutdowns on my laptop, eating battery life on the laptop, lock screen problems on both desktop and laptop, at one point it would want to upgrade on my desktop, and other small stuff that I can't remember05:06
sdf555555wouldn't upgrade*05:07
ahow628varunendra: Thanks. I'll post it.05:07
varunendraahow628, np :)05:07
sdf555555Once at the lock screen, if I enter the password, then enter, it would go to a black screen05:07
Ari-Yangsdf555555, tbh if you really wanted someone to tell you what the problem could have been, you would've saved log files.05:07
Ari-Yangthere really is no point in talking about it now05:07
Ari-Yangunless you're going to reinstall 13.04 now and would like support....05:07
sdf555555And, the ubuntu system thing, where it says an error has happen would come up about 20times a day05:08
PhyiisGreetings. I'd like to know.. What is the possibility I became a sad guy, if i uninst ATI driver and manage my power only with jupiter?05:08
sdf555555and I would submit that error, so the devs would get a look at it05:08
lotuspsychjesdf555555: conclusion is like Ari-Yang says, 13.04 isnt unstable we might have solved it for you05:08
ahow628varunendra: Should I post in the compatibility sticky (12.04.0 works) or the incompatibility (12.04.2 doesn't work) or both?05:09
sdf555555At least 20times a day it would come up "Ubuntu has incountered an error" which was annoying that many times05:09
lotuspsychjesdf555555: errors are there to be solved05:09
PhyiisFellas?05:09
lotuspsychje!patience | Phyiis05:09
ubottuPhyiis: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/05:09
Ari-Yangsdf555555, okay, that's enough now. We understand it didn't work out for you. I think it's time to move on...05:09
Ari-YangPhyiis, you should be able to, I don't see why not05:10
varunendraahow628, both look okay, I'd suggest the incompatibility one, then add your solution at the bottom of your post.05:10
holsteinPhyiis: try it.. jupiter is not supported anymore AFAIK, though.. the driver idea might help.. might not05:10
ahow628varunendra: Thanks.05:10
sdf555555However, I still have 13.04 on my desktop, what log files should I be pulling out for you guys to take a look at?05:11
PhyiisI'm not satisfied with the quality of the drivers available. My HP Notebook is much better without it.05:11
lotuspsychjeholstein: uninstalling gnome-screensaver fixed my issue last time tnx again mate!05:12
holsteinlotuspsychje: sure. no worries :)05:12
PhyiisThproblem is that the power consume is very high.05:12
lotuspsychjeholstein: xscreensaver asked to launch deamon and end of story :p05:12
Ari-YangPhyiis, imo the radeon open source drivers are far better. fglrx has horrible 2d acceleration.... you'd only use fglrx really for gaming.05:12
lotuspsychjesdf555555: /var/log/syslog.105:12
sdf555555I'll get them up on plaste bin and link you guys05:13
lotuspsychjesdf555555: or any logs at /var/log that could be relevant for your errors05:13
Ari-YangPhyiis, but the open source drivers do run laptops hot, for now anyway. They released patches for dynamic power management (I'm currently using that kernel and it works just fine). http://www.phoronix.com/vr.php?view=MTM5NjE05:13
Ari-YangPhyiis, if you want you can simply install http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/drm-next/ and get the appropriate firmware for your gpu (if it's apu you don't need one) and you'll be good to go.05:14
lotuspsychjesdf555555: but remember 13.04 is not lts05:15
PhyiisAri-Yang: I already tried every drivers. When I'm watching in VLC, the videos is divided by two pieces.. horrible.. anyway, I'm going to try it.05:15
Ari-YangPhyiis, what card do you have? and it sounds like you have video tearing....05:16
Ari-YangPhyiis, I got nothing but tearing when I tried fglrx, you're better off with the open source drivers...05:16
PhyiisAri-Yang: Radeon 6600G A8-3500 APU05:17
Ari-Yangah, Phyiis so you're going to try what exactly?05:17
sdf555555lotuspsychje: http://pastebin.com/k5cwqH8y05:17
PhyiisAri-Yang: I'm going to remove everything. I'll use only jupiter control the power consume.05:18
lotuspsychjesdf555555: is that on your current system or your 13.04?05:19
sdf555555thats my desktop with 13.0405:19
sdf555555havn't change that one over yet05:19

sdf555555Not trying to install anything, Stating that my desktop running 13.04 64bit is having a bunch of issues, mainly three issues, one being a lock screen that doesn't work and goes to a black page, the other having the ubuntu has an error window pop-up a number of times a day under normal usage, and the last, of where the system would not boot into ubuntu, and wanted to go into recovery mode [i believe] but wouldn't boot into that, rebo05:57
sdf555555wouldn't boot into ubuntu, and then a few days later I decide to turn on the system, and it magically booted into ubuntu without problem05:57
holsteinwhat would i do? test the hardware.. test the memory, and hard drive.. look for and apply all upgrades.. try and reproduce these errors from a live CD05:58
holsteinsdf555555: test whatever live CD you want to use before installing to be sure hardware support is there05:59
wilee-nileesdf555555, Have you checked the poups as to maybe installed apps, or 3rd parties, and have you modified grub?05:59
holsteinsdf555555: the "magically booted" sounds like something a failing hard drive would do05:59
sdf555555It would boot up into the grub recovery window, but wouldn't boot into ubuntu, but a few days later it did for some reason06:00
holsteinsdf555555: sure, im not doubting you.. im proposing the reason is failing hard ware06:00
sdf555555Also, its an SSD, so it could be dying?06:01
St1gmaI would probably check SMART output06:01
holsteinsdf555555: thats what im proposing it wouldnt be a waste of time confirming06:01
holsteinsdf555555: also, memory issues can just cause all kinds of "funkiness"06:01
St1gmaOh ssd...06:01
holsteinsdf555555: if you are asking "do you all use 13.04 and it acts like this?"... of course not06:01
sdf555555Its a Curical M4 64GB SSD, and they had reports of those SSDs failing, but when I check, might had the new rev on it/bios/firmware on it where they weren't the ones to fail06:02
sdf555555mine had*06:02
holsteinsdf555555: you either have *drastic* hardware incompatibities to work around or failing hardware in my opinion06:02
St1gmaI have had no problems like that on my installations... And I'm running on an ssd06:03
holsteinsdf555555: *all* drives fail.. im not saying yours has failed.. im just saying it wont hurt to test06:03
sdf555555I can use mem84 test for the ram, what could I use for the ssd?06:03
holsteinsdf555555: i usually remove what i can from the equation.. trying to replicate from a live CD was a suggestion i gave above, and here for that06:04
holsteinhttp://blogs.nologin.es/slopez/archives/33-Checking-the-health-of-your-SSD-from-GNULinux.html myabe06:04
holsteinmaybe* .. i dont have an ssh to try this on06:04
izxHow do i resolve this error? >> E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), is another process using it? ??06:05
holsteinsdf555555: try and think of what the constants are in the scenario.. the internet that downloaded the iso. the USB stick that had the iso that installed the os's.. the user setup and config.. etc06:06
holsteinizx: is another process using it? if so, close it.. if you have 2 package managers open, for example06:06
sdf555555I will say this holstein, I use to run linux mint on this box before, and would have random power-offs, mainly once a 13hour day, or on some days; a few times a day, however with ubuntu I havn't had that problem06:06
holsteinsdf555555: unless you are comparing ubuntu with the mint version that is the same, that could be due to version changes06:07
sdf555555but I guess that could be a funny way of showing a dying ssd or maybe even a motherboard [back when I was running mint on it, I did rule out the powersupply being the problem]06:07
holsteinsdf555555: that could have been, you had ubuntu 11.10, and the ubntu 12.04 based mint, and mint was fine.. and the ubuntu 12.04 would have been fine as well06:07
holsteinsdf555555: so, unless you have those version #'s, that example is not relevant06:08
sdf555555it was mint 13, ubuntu, not the debain one06:08
holsteinsdf555555: overheating is typically what causes what you are describing06:08
theadminHm. sdf555555, another reason Ubuntu may fail is due to graphic cards. Ubuntu is heavy on 3D nowadays, which is pretty but...06:08
holsteinsdf555555: i *never* said "debian"06:08
sdf555555its watered cooled, running at around 35C stable all the time06:09
theadminOooh06:09
holsteinsdf555555: if it were stable, we wouldnt be talking...06:09
holsteinsdf555555: im just saying "typically".. and in mint, that kernel could have supported the hardware better06:09
qinWhy software center want me to "Buy" steam?06:10
holsteinsdf555555: could have been that ubuntu was a different version, as i said, and that the same ubuntu base that mint was utilizing would have produced the same result06:10

sdf555555okay, well thanks everyone, guess its time for ruling out hardware causing the problems06:13

codephobicgordonjcp, no that's not what I meant. my graphics card (at present) is working with ubuntu using default drivers, I can't use compiz or anything flash because nvidia aren't supporting the card any more. W7 just has the usual legacy support thing, so it works perfectly.08:06
serialquestioneri like it a lot...and i find it works really good..but still haven't got browser implemented...and i don't like to search for torrents in web :P08:07
codephobicgoing forward, I'll need to upgrade my graphics card, in order to make use of the more powerful functionalities available in any of the desktop Linux distros (aside from Debian which seems to be staying put with the old x).08:07

tofares32, have you tried this ppa? linux-kamal-mjgbacklight PPA10:12
res32tofa: nop. I wasn't sure if I could use it with raring10:13
res32tofa: i've seen it10:13
tofares32, you can add non-raring ppa's10:14
tofares32, by editing them in sources.d10:14
res32tofa: okay. let me try adding it10:14
histores32: ppa's aren't supported10:17
res32histo: sorry, I don't understand10:17
theadminres32: What histo means is if a ppa breaks your system or doesn't work, this channel will not help with it10:18
ntzrmtthihu777res32: he means they are not "official ubuntu software" so #ubuntu does not support them.10:18
res32ntzrmtthihu777: histo ah understood.10:18
ntzrmtthihu777res32: doesn't mean they don't work, or that someone here won't help you on a personal level, but #ubuntu as a whole doesn't support them.10:19
res32ntzrmtthihu777: . yea, if there's any problem, i should contact the dev right? or it's respective forum or something10:19
ntzrmtthihu777res32: you got it.10:20
tofares32, sorry it seems this is a confirmed bug.10:22
res32tofa: so, shouldn't i use the ppa and see?10:23
tofares32, sure try it out, if it works great but I have no idea how it does it.10:23
threesomeHi, is it possible to set up whole disk encryption when installing Ubuntu in something like VirtualBox? (Does it even make sense to do this?)10:23
theadminthreesome: Sure, it'll encrypt the virtual virtualbox HD10:24
OerHeksres32, that ppa won't work unless you are on Natty 11.0410:24
tofares32, If all else fails run xev in a terminal and see if it registers anything for the function keys that control the backlight.10:24
BluesKajHiyas all10:24

threesometheadmin, so when running the ISO installer in VirtualBox it'll give the same option to set up full-disk encryption just like when running the installer on a desktop? (Sorry I don't have much experience with VirtualBox)10:25
=== resure is now known as Guest27040
theadminthreesome: Sure, the installer doesn't care whether the hardware is virtual or not (well, it sort of does, it will download the Virtualbox Guest Additions during the install, I *think*, but other than that...)10:26

=== Guest27040 is now known as resure
threesometheadmin, cool, I'll try this out10:26
threesomeThanks10:26
OerHekstofa, maybe ths option " acpi_backlight=vendor" , add it to grub like !nomodeset10:27
OerHeks!nomodeset10:27
ubottuA common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter10:27
tofaOerHeks, I found this http://askubuntu.com/questions/289171/brightness-controls-not-working-on-a-dell-inspiron-n4010-laptop/289177#28917710:27

OerHekstofa nope, this is the best i know :-(10:30
res32so this means I'm stuck rt10:30
tofares32, have you tried using xev.10:30
BluesKajA1Recon, MS wireless 200010:30
res32tofa. it registers the keys10:30
A1ReconBluesKaj: TY10:30
tofares32, also changing the boot parameter acpi_osi= can sometimes help.10:31
BluesKajA1Recon, got them on sale for 30 bucks10:31
res32should i leave acpi_osi=  blank?10:31
A1Reconntzrmtthihu777: I have USB keyboards of Logitech. But I like this P/S 2 keboard of Logitech - K100. I think they are cute and they have no key tapping sounds at all.. I love them10:32
tofares32, yes you can try it don't think it'll help but I had a similar problem on this laptop and it helped.10:32
res32tofa: if i remember correctly, i have tried acpi_osi="Linux" and acpi_osi="'Windows 2012'" or something like this, but didn't help10:33

varunendraoh, ok, taking a closer look, superdo10:38
columbDerHeks. Oh, okay.10:38
cheesecakesanyone setup a quasselcore on ubuntu?10:38
cfhowlettsuperdo, ah, ssd AND uefi.  nice but completely out of my range of experience.  someone else on this channel will no doubt know.  post details and ask again10:38
varunendrasuperdo, did you install it in UEFI mode? Is your BIOS currently set to use EFI?10:39
superdocfhowlett, ok10:39
cheesecakesok one guy just quit10:39
cheesecakeslol10:39
cheesecakesanyway to just state my problem10:39
cheesecakesi cant connect to the core from the interwebz10:39
cheesecakesi get the error in core.log as "Non authed Client disconncted"10:39
superdovarunendra: I hat to switch on. because EFI switch off and trying to boot Ubuntu LiveUSB gave me "error", dropped to some command line10:39
mamdouhhello everyone10:39
varunendracfhowlett, the fact that it is ssd shouldn't affect anything regarding booting.10:40
superdovarunendra: but not the usual command line10:40
cheesecakesalso for some strange reason quasselcore is listening on ip6, when i dont even have it enables10:40
cheesecakes*ipv610:40
cfhowlettvarunendra, sounds like you'd be better at advising him than I.  Proceed.10:40
cheesecakesi can connect from lolcalhost10:40
varunendrasuperdo, that's not a problem. Just so you know, if the live system boots with UEFI, it will install in UEFI mode. If you change that later, it won't boot10:41
superdovarunendra, yes10:41
varunendrabut it's long since I dealt with any boot issue, so can't be sure on everything. I invite others to jump in..!10:42
tofares32, I think there's a way to hard code key presses in X but I don't know how to do it.10:42
tofares32, does manually changing the screen brightness work then?10:42
superdovarunendra, I tried boot-repair with liveusb, but drops error it needs some package to pre-installed..10:43
res32tofa: only the command where I echo the value to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight works10:43
varunendrasuperdo, did you try the Live ISOs that come with boot-repair pre-installed?10:43
varunendrato fix the boot.10:43
superdovarunendra, yes.10:43
varunendrathat shouldn't need any extra packages to install grub ! superdo10:44
superdovarunendra, I run the auto mode, made something, then gave the message I dont have internet so exiting,...10:44
tofares32, I'm pretty sure you can hardcode X to echo numbers to /sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight but how you do that I don't know.10:44
tofares32, just a stupid question you are running update-grub each time?10:45
res32tofa: okay, i'll look up on that10:45
res32tofa: yup10:45
varunendrasuperdo, that would be regarding the uploading of the report. You should boot it again, then try installing grub in /dev/sda10:45
superdovarunendra, hmm good idea10:45
tofares32, try uname -r what does it return? Might be a kernel thing.10:45
res32tofa: 3.8.0-26-generic10:46
superdovarunendra, need to google for the appropriate grub install commands..10:46
varunendrasuperdo, boot repair should give you options, you should only need to choose the correct one > then install10:46
MonkeyDustres32  the current kernel is -25, where did you get that one?10:46
tofares32, Sorry I can't be of more help. There should be a way around this, ask round.10:46

res32tofa: thanks for the help10:47

LaykeOn 12.04. (KDE as well if relevant) I'd like to increase my mouse wheel scroll. Is there any setting to achieve this?10:54

cfhowlettBluesKaj, best to ask explicitly is my policy ...10:57

superdovarunendra, what do you think with Win7 shouldnt have this problem ? only Win8 makes our life harder this way?10:58
varunendrasuperdo, I don't have much experience with UEFI booting, and absolutely zero experience with win 8. So can't comment on it.11:00
gustav___So what do I do? How do I solve this?11:02
varunendrasuperdo, when in live mode, can you see an "EFI" folder in any of the hdd partitions?11:02

superdobut as I said, gives error about internet, and goes back to the main screen.11:24
superdoother option is Quit, but then gives me operation aborted message.11:25
varunendrasuperdo, the problem maybe that it detects the windows installation in EFI mode, while the Ubuntu installation in legacy mode (or vice-versa), so can't repair it and hence just tries to generate the report and upload it.11:25
superdowhat is it mean , Install Ubuntu alongside Windows? autom. makes partitions to the empty space ?11:26

varunendrasuperdo, it may be easier than reinstalling win 811:29
superdovarunendra, ok, ill write down to paper and google for it.. you right11:30
PaulePanterMounting it did not work either and doing `fsck /dev/sda5` and saying yes to everything it works again. It said something about a corrupt superblock.11:30
superdobrb11:30
PaulePanterThough for example `/var/log/kern.log` has garbage at the end now. :(11:30
PaulePanterNot only does that means files are corrupted, it also means I do not know what happened during the last shutdown.11:31

ohnoididitagainHey there. Can somebody explain to me how to set screen refreshing rate to 60Hz permanently? I tried Compiz, but everytime I restart it goes back to 50Hz12:17
mumpitzelyour X has probably a very good reason why it set it to 50Hz. so go and check your Xorg.0.log why it did it12:18
ohnoididitagainwell, my X probably wants me to blind12:18
ohnoididitagainsince my screen works at 60Hz12:18
ohnoididitagainat 50Hz it's really annoying12:18

theadminohnoididitagain: Okaysies, open /etc/init/lightdm.conf and find the section that says "post-start script", add a line saying "xrandr --rate 60" (or whichever value you prefer) right before the "end script" line of that section.12:25
theadminmumpitzel: ^12:25
theadminCould also do it via xorg.conf, but eh...12:25
manevskifi4oare the ati opensource drivers better then the default ones that come with ubuntu ?12:26
theadminmanevskifi4o: Eh, Ubuntu comes with the open-source ATI drivers12:26
theadminmanevskifi4o: As such, your question makes no sense: "are the ati opensource drivers better than the ati opensource drivers?". If you mean fglrx, which is the closed-source ATI driver, it definetly performs better, as long as your card is supported...12:27
manevskifi4otheadmin: fine then help me with my problem my garapics card is ati radeon hd 4650 witch is more than caipable of streaming hd videos yet for some reason when i do it in ubuntu my pc crashes12:27

blinky_Guys just done a logout and then logged back in and the mouse is working, any ideas how to keep it working after a reboot?12:28
theadminohnoididitagain: You're supposed to edit that as root, try with: gksudo gedit /etc/init/lightdm.conf12:28
theadminohnoididitagain: (might need to also install gksudo :/ sudo apt-get install gksu )12:29
theadminohnoididitagain: Or just use a command-line editor such as nano or vi: sudo nano /etc/init/lightdm.conf12:29

cretsiahso which ubuntu would be usable? specs are 1gig ram, upto 40gig hd, 2.6ghz cpu, wpa2 wifi, between 64mg to 128mg nvida graphics card, also require wireless mouse and keyboard support, attached to a sanyo Lcd 66cm screen (by monitor port) purpose is for dvd player, youtube and catch-up tv (using flash and java)?12:49
litepooli have software raid on my ubuntu box, was auto installed like this. I think it is causing high io waits and would like to remove it12:50
theadmincretsiah: Uh, any version would work with those specs really, I recommend 12.04 as it's more stable in general.12:50
phixcretsiah: If you want real stable I recommend Debian12:50
theadminphix: That's called 'ancient' not stable ;)12:51
phixtheadmin: ah :)12:51
cretsiahbut doesnt anything over ubuntu 10 require like 2gig+ ram?12:51
mchlbhmSo debian isn't stable?12:51
cretsiahdebian i would use if i could get to net install via wifi but it doesnt12:52
mchlbhmLook I'm new...that probably sounded like trolling12:52
cretsiahcurrently have puppylinux on it but it doesnt do mp4 files12:52
theadmincretsiah: Wha? Heck no, Ubuntu's not that RAM heavy, the minimum requirement is 512M for traditional version, 256 for lightwieght editions like Lubuntu and Xubuntu12:53
mchlbhmI switched to ubuntu 12.04 from win7 because I was told that it was just better. I was left hanging when I found that I couldn't play the games I liked12:53
theadminmchlbhm: Debian's so stable it tends to have very, *very* old software versions, which is why I say it's "ancient"12:54

mchlbhmtheadmin Ah! thank you for the reply. :)12:56
cretsiahI know what you mean about the games mchlbhm, ive got 2, 8gig ram systems just so the kids can play things like moshi monsters, just because they oonly do windows versions and all the junk stuff you gotta run when running the windows systems12:56

cretsiahtheadmin does ubuntu still work with latest java and flash junk?13:01
mchlbhmcretsiah Gah! over my head! googlegoogle...duckduckgo13:01
ohnoididitagaintheadmin: it says it's not possible for this size to work at 60Hz13:02
ohnoididitagaintheadmin: maybe it's nvidia drivers?13:02
theadmincretsiah: Not exactly latest, sadly, Adobe dropped Flash for Linux so the latest version is 11.2 or something along those lines, but other than that yes, they are in the repos, the packages you want are openjdk-7-jre (for Java 7), openjdk-6-jre (for Java 6) and flashplugin-installer for Flash.13:02
theadminohnoididitagain: Could be, altough that's a rather odd behavior13:03
cretsiahtheadmin would a symlink get rid of the "you must have latest blah blah" problem?13:04
mchlbhmcretsiah when I installed ubuntu I also installed ubuntu-restricted-extras. That took care of a lot of problems for me.13:04
theadmincretsiah: There's no such problem from what I'm aware. Browsers (Chromium and Firefox, at least) don't complain as they are aware that's the latest for the platform.13:04
theadmincretsiah: If a Flash app complains, then not much you can do, it likely does need the latest Flash.13:05
cretsiahWAH WAH i dont really want those 2 browsers lol but oh well if  i must13:05
theadmincretsiah: What do you run?13:05
mchlbhmtheadmin I read that even netflix is switching to html 5 instead of silverlight. That mean others will follow suit?13:05
theadmincretsiah: Opera doesn't complain, either... I dunno what other browsers are there.13:06
theadminmchlbhm: Maybe. Silverlight is an abnomination :/13:06
mchlbhmtheadmin agreed13:06
theadmincretsiah: Anything NPAPI-compatible will work with the Flash in repos, generally.13:06
phixtheadmin, mchlbhm: Silverlight is also MS so it probably isn't compatible with anything other than MS products.13:06
phixor if it is it would be pretty crippled13:07
Guest58052bekks: there is no way to change which driver a usb device is using?  When I plug in this device, it's listed in lsusb as something completely different than what it is (and a device that not even Google believes to exist: Numark).13:07
theadminphix: Not really, there's a version of Silverlight for Linux developed by Novell, called Moonlight.13:07
theadminphix: Works fine for the most part13:07

DJonesdeNi_: Its not something I've done, but this link may help https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2/ISOBoot13:18
theadmindeNi_: Hm... Booting an ISO from GRUB is possible, yes. But it's most easy to place it in /boot for that matter, as then Ubuntu has an easy script that'll do the set up for you (simply sudo apt-get install grml-rescueboot, then move the ISO to /boot/grml and finally update-grub)13:18
theadmincretsiah: Works fine, I also have a few shares set up on Ubuntu itself that I did with just a few mouse clicks13:18
deNi_theadmin: i need to do that on a seperated partition13:19
mchlbhmtheadmin couldn't deni also set up bios to boot from that partition?13:19

andybrineThe graphics are working in ubuntu, just not with the n64 emulator17:07
gordonjcpGilligan94: if you've got NVidia drivers installed, and it says you're using Intel, then you must have two graphics cards17:07
andybrineits not through an update, it was just when i tried to install it17:08
Gilligan94gordonjcp: this is kinda true I have a 620m and the inbuilt intel400017:08
andybrineso from first installing mupen64plus i have had the problem17:08

ikoniaCasey: as in uid=administrator, why have you put that in ?17:28
Akshay_dThe keyboard is perfectly fine as it works under windows 7, xp, ubuntu 12.10 32 bit, but does not work with aforementioned 13.04 setup17:28
Caseyikonia: I was following this link http://askubuntu.com/questions/164926/how-to-make-hdds-mount-at-startup-in-ubuntu-12-0417:28

freelinuxIm back... Im back... and alive :D17:28
Gilligan94Akshay_d: try a different keyboard, things can be a little ficcle in the areas like bios/grub. for example the corsair K70 doesn't work in the bios due to anti ghosting17:29

ikoniaCasey: no, thats a mount point, the file system is ext4, ntfs, ext2, reiser etc etc17:30
Caseyikonia: thanks for the clarification, I will look for an internal mounting page.17:30
ikoniaCasey: also you've got a UUID line AND a device file reference,17:30
ikoniaCasey: basically - it's the same as the line above for /17:30
Caseyikonia: can I PM you?17:31
ikoniaCasey: why ?17:31

andybrineHas anyone come across the problem "held broken packages"?18:15

andybrineim dont think it said that18:17
wilee-nileeandybrine, Run sudo apt-get update and pastebin all the text.18:17
trismGilligan94: looks fine, maybe you don't have linux-image-generic installed?18:17
wilee-nileeI wondered that18:17
Gilligan94trism: there is no linux-image-generic for my kernel18:18
andybrinethe update worked perfectly18:18
Gilligan94trism: for some reason I have -2018:18
andybrinethere is nothing to update18:18
trismGilligan94: yes, I know that's an older one, but I just mean: sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic; (no version numbers)18:19
trismGilligan94: so you can pull in -26 if it is there (which is should be) and then get the headers for -2618:19
wilee-nileeandybrine, Then run sudo apt-get dist-upgrade if you see the packeges added it is good, otherwise pastebin it and hit n for no.18:19
trismGilligan94: so you probably want linux-headers-generic too if you need the headers for each kernel18:20
Gilligan94trism: alright the -28 headers are installing18:20
Gilligan94trism: **-2618:20
Gilligan94trism: should I reboot after this?18:21

Gilligan94holstein: I'm trying to update to kernel -26 because -20 does not have any headers and I need to install headers to install bbswitch with is required for bumblebee19:17
babinlonstonok19:17
Gilligan94holstein: there are no errors however after updating and rebooting I'm still on -2019:17
holsteinGilligan94: bumblebee is not officially supported.. what are the errors?19:17
Gilligan94holstein: no errors19:18
mustafa_<holstein> you mean like using degacup it doesnt offer advance feature like back in time19:18
holsteinGilligan94: if you are having trouble installing something from the bumblebee PPA, you will need to ask the maintainer for support19:18
mustafa_<holstein> and whats the difference if i used ssh19:18
wilee-nilee!tab > mustafa_19:18
ubottumustafa_, please see my private message19:18
holsteinmustafa_: it might offer arguably advaced features such as allowing you to use a USB drive with samba easily19:18
Gilligan94holstein: No, I'm having trouble updating from linux kernel 3.8.0-20 to 3.8.0-2619:18
reisioRyan_L_Williams: what's up?19:18
holsteinGilligan94: purge the ppas that could be causing breakage.. sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade ...report errors19:19
Gilligan94holstein: there are no PPAs causeing a breakage19:20
Ari-YangI say uninstall your current kernel, image, and headers, then reinstall them Gilligan9419:20
holsteinGilligan94: then, run the command above, and report errors19:20
holsteinGilligan94: if you have *any* ppa's, they *can* be causing breakage, and are not supported19:21
Gilligan94Ari-Yang: I have tried that, but dispite the install running smoothly grub doesn't update19:21
Ari-YangGilligan94, even update-grub doesn't update grub?19:21
Gilligan94holstein: I have *NO* PPAs other than the default enabled19:21
holsteinGilligan94: OK.. and the command? "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" ?19:22
Gilligan94Ari-Yang: unfortunatly yeh, sudo update-grub doesn't work19:22
holsteinGilligan94: i was told that gave no errors..19:22
holsteinGilligan94: how does it "not work" ?19:22

mustafa_<holstein> no it doesnt offer such feature like seeing usb19:23
Kitt3nGilligan94, can you paste the output of "sudo update-grub"?19:23
Gilligan94holstein: updateing grub does not give error but rebooting reveils only the -20 header in the list19:23
Gilligan94Kitt3n: ok19:23
holsteinmustafa_: ssh should the files system.. and you can mount whatever you want to where ever the samba share is19:23

Gilligan94Kitt3n: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5850708/19:24
mustafa_<holstein> well l19:24
Gilligan94So even though http://paste.ubuntu.com/5850708/ shows -26 in the list when I reboot only -20 is available19:25
mustafa_the system sees the hard drive but when the system reset the syc is gone19:25
mustafa_it sees the drive but dont make automatic backup19:25
holsteinGilligan94: so, you have the kernel installed.. have you gone into the "other" area of grub? to see "past" versions?19:25
mustafa_unless iam making it manually19:26
holsteinmustafa_: right.. you would add that to fstab, or do it manually AFAIK19:26
Gilligan94holstein: yes, it only shows 3.8.0-2019:26
holsteinGilligan94: do you have another operating system on there running grub?19:26
Gilligan94holstein: No I do not19:26
mustafa_<holstein> iam not following you ......can you exp?19:27
wilee-nileeholstein, I had them run the boot script earlier if it is helpful, they have also run the bootrepair fix. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5850618/19:27

Kitt3nGilligan94, "sudo grub-install -v" that should print the grub version.19:31
Gilligan94Kitt3n: grub-install (GRUB) 2.00-13ubuntu319:32
Gilligan94Kitt3n: but is there a seperate version for EFI?19:33
Kitt3nGilligan94, well, THAT is correct.19:33
holsteinGilligan94: i have no idea.. i would reinstalling grub, making sure to try and see that it is getting "updated" while you are doing it19:33
Kitt3nGilligan94, Yes, grub-efi is for EFI19:33

holsteinGilligan94: trying plop, or GAG19:35
Gilligan94holstein: I think I need EFI support, do they offer this?19:35
holstein_jay: nothing software will fix a broken optical drive19:35
holsteinGilligan94: i have no idea, but, as i said, they should support running live, so no permanant breakage from trying them"19:35

holsteinGilligan94: i havent had the fortune of working with UEFI yet. and im not looking forward to it :/19:36
Gilligan94holstein: it is hell19:36
Kitt3nGilligan94, um, when you're at the Grub window, do you have an extra option to "enter the bios"?19:36
Kitt3nholstein, it's not hell at all.19:37
holsteinGilligan94: well, we dont know for certain that this issue is related, yet...19:37

ShadowBlaze18Hello, does Ubuntu still have source code for Ubuntu 12.04 LTS?19:37

holsteinShadowBlaze18: yes19:38
Kitt3nGilligan94, errrm. That does NOT sound correct.19:38
ShadowBlaze18Okay, thanks, I have one more question19:38
Gilligan94Kitt3n: I might be miss remembering19:39
Gilligan94Kitt3n: what should be there?19:39
Kitt3nGilligan94, Grub-efi adds in an option to easily access the EFI bios.19:40
Gilligan94Kitt3n: huh, I dont think I have that19:40
moYokay:)19:40
Kitt3nGilligan94, Paste this in a terminal: [ -d /sys/firmware/efi ] && echo "EFI boot on HDD" || echo "Legacy boot on HDD"19:41
ShadowBlaze18When redistributing the Ubuntu OS, just as it is, what happens if Ubuntu no longer has the source code avaliable after giving it to somebody, does this violate any licenses for software that comes with Ubuntu?19:41

Gilligan94ikonia: I see, thanks19:48
LjLsmallmouse: a file has an owner user, and an owner group. if you're the owner user, you have some permissions, if you're in the owner group, you have some other permissions, and if you are just a random somebody, you have yet another set of permissions. these permissions can be "read", "write" and "execute", and the whole thing is often shown like this: rwxr-x--x (this would mean the owner can "rwx", i.e. read, write and execute, the group can only "r-x", i.e.19:48
LjLread and execute, and the rest of the world can only "--x", execute)19:48
holsteinsmallmouse: yes19:49

grex25Anyone knows a good alternative for google keep to  self-host? Should work on Desktop and Android... I already got Owncloud but there is no good sync option to android19:51
LjLsmallmouse: well clearly you need to know what the original permissions were (often, people come here telling us they've mistakenly chmod'd the entire /, and then we tell them "reinstall" because that's the only really sane option); once you do, the chmod command can work with numbers (like the "777" you mentioned) but it can also work with a little friendlier syntax19:51
Ryan_L_WilliamsAnd make sure that it's perm deleted of my hdd19:51
smallmouseLjL19:52
smallmouseLjL: thanks yes i think i need to go back to an original set up and see19:52
smallmouseLjL: but having done a -R  was not the brightest idea in the world.19:53
LjLsmallmouse: examples: "chmod u+rw" means "give the owner user read and write permission, leave the execute permission alone"; "chmod g-w" means "take away write permission from the owner group, leave everything else untouched"; "chmod o=x" means "give everyone else execute permissions only"; "chmod a+rwx" means "give all users (owner, group and world) read, write and execute abilities" (this is equivalent to 777 i believe)19:53

brontosaurusrexShadowBlaze18, read the gpl lately?20:14
ShadowBlaze18Yes, I review it20:14
DebolazShadowBlaze18: The GPL requires you to make sure source code is available at least for 3 years after you've distributed the CD (Not necessarily through you, pointing to the Ubuntu website is sufficient as far as your end of the bargain goes). But the only penality for not doing so, is not being allowed to distribute any further CDs.20:15
ShadowBlaze18I'm also talking about GPL 1,2, and 3 brontosaurusrex20:15
DebolazShadowBlaze18: This holds true for both GPL v2 and v3. I don't know about v1. :-)20:15
ShadowBlaze18Okay, does Ubuntu have any GPL 1 software?20:15
DebolazShadowBlaze18: Ie, the only consequence for you if you violate it, is being prohibited from redistributing the GPL licensed software again.20:16
ikoniaShadowBlaze18: you'll need to check each package20:16
brontosaurusrexShadowBlaze18, you are not changing the code, not making any releases, so you have no copyrights of any kinds20:16
pfifobut gpl also says 'This version or any later version at your discretion'20:16
brontosaurusrexShadowBlaze18, so the license is irrelevant to you20:16
ShadowBlaze18Okay, thanks20:16
ShadowBlaze18I was making a release by giving the CD, though, correct?20:17
ikoniaShadowBlaze18: no, you are not making a release20:17
Debolazpfifo: GPL doesn't say that, sources using GPL says that.20:17
ikoniaShadowBlaze18: you are giving someone a pre-made release cerfitied by canonical that it complies with the license.20:17
ShadowBlaze18Oh20:18
ShadowBlaze18Okay, thank you20:18
Debolazikonia: That's wrong imho. The GPL doesn't talk about releases, it talks about distribution.20:18
ikoniaDebolaz: I didn't see it talked about a release20:18
ikoniaDebolaz: I said he is distributing a release certified by canonical to comply with the license.20:18
brontosaurusrexDebolaz, distribution is encouraged afaik20:19
DebolazPoint is that ShadowBlaze18 is subject to the GPL when he distributes a CD.20:19
Debolazikonia: Misread it a bit.20:19
=== Sickki_ is now known as Sickki
DebolazBut point still stands, the GPL is what allows ShadowBlaze18 to give someone a CD with GPL licensed software on it, hence it applies to him.20:19

ShadowBlaze18:/20:19

bitpimpinteresting... someone I'm tutoring just ran 'rm -rf ~' while trying to erase a file they had named ~ and it seems to have erased their Downloads dir but nothing else.  In what order/how does rm -rf work?23:24
blahblah_windows of my cars tint23:25
bitpimpI'm wondering what kind of housekeeping I should do for them before they ever reboot... wonder if their user will come up again.23:25
reisiobitpimp: maybe that's all that was in ~/23:25
bitpimpreisio, no... they had a number of files and directories.23:26
Kitt3nbitpimp, well, ~/ is the user's home, the other folders are probably protected from harm, to some extent23:26
bitpimpreisio, I assumed they had hosed everything... I was sitting next to them and hit ctrl-c in about 3 seconds.23:26
reisiohad?23:26
DiodoI have problem with my zenbook battery and ubuntu 12.0423:26
reisiowell you said it only did downloads...23:26

mike024MDADM: I want to add 3 devices and change my raid level from 5 to 6 at the same time. How do I go about this?23:27
Kitt3nbitpimp, rm -rf deletes folders forcefully, IIRC.23:27
bitpimpreisio, they have Pictures, Desktop, and so forth, and a number of individual files, most of which seem to have survived.23:27
FolasNot sure if I can convince anyone to like this, but if you would that'd be great https://www.facebook.com/LolOnLinux23:27

bitpimpKitt3n, oh definitely23:28
FolasOh, m'kay, will do that23:28
bitpimpreisio, yes, then I cringed, then 'ls'd, to find most files/dirs there.23:28
Poonammust have had large download folder. As  for us i know rm deletes in particular order we know. it is based on the nodes in directory23:28
Kitt3nbitpimp, if the directories are still there, they aren't deleted.23:28
Kitt3nbitpimp, everything should be fine.23:29
bitpimpKitt3n, no, that was the thing, most everything was there, except Downloads, which is gone.23:29
bitpimpKitt3n, it was as if Downloads was like a sandbag wall!23:29
reisio... it goes in order23:29
reisioif you cancelled it, the lower end was spared23:30
bitpimpKitt3n, no doubt, there were a number of files in there.  It was probably in the next file after Downloads, then I cancelled.23:30
bitpimpreisio, what order?23:30
Kitt3nbitpimp, I don't feel like 'testing' on my computer since I've already reinstalled 4 times on my poor poor SSD hard drive.23:30
reisioD is near the beginning23:30
bitpimpKitt3n, omg nobody please 'test' this.23:30
Kitt3nreisio, Desktop, Documents THEN Downloads on my computer.23:30
Kitt3nWeird.23:30
gordonjcpKitt3n: did you read the article about the guys testing SSDs to destruction?23:31
reisioa-z, caps then lower23:31
lj1102If i may ask one more question, how can i fix my screen brightness hotkeys, they actually work but only 1 step so like 90% or 100%, i've already written a terminal program to write the values on my own into utility program to write stuff into the gsd-backlight-helper but it would be nice if i could do it via the hotkeys instead of terminal program.23:31
bitpimpKitt3n, plus, on your SSD, it'd go much much faster.23:31
Poonamhey check when hidden . files are stilll intact23:31
Kitt3ngordonjcp, Ummm, nope. Haven't heard of it, I prooobably should look into how I can make my SSD last a little longer, heeeh...23:32

bitpimpPoonam, they seem to be there, nice.23:33
Kitt3nbitpimp, what reisio just said. You can easily recover the "deleted" data23:33
Poonam:-)23:33
bitpimpKitt3n, really?  how?23:33
bitpimpreisio, Kitt3n ah right, yeah, I know it's there, but I've actually never contemplated how you recover on linux.  I probably should know that.23:34
reisioextundelete might be a start, if it's ext23:34

Guest18524Im having audio problems. None of my media players will play anything, i get "Failed to connect: Connection refused" on most of them. And JACK can't start if im trying to do anything with that. Is there any way to remove any audio configurations and reinstall what ever kubuntu needs for audio. I reinstalled my distro, but it kept all my settings from before the install (my /home is on a seperate partition)23:37

zaileionok.  i have 2 samsung 840 pro ssd drives, connected into 2 - SATA3 ports on my motherboard (Asus Rampage 3 Black Edition) and i created a RAID 0 array using the Marvell BIOS Setup during the post.  I am trying to install a dual boot with wondows and ubuntu.  i can get winodws installed no prob, but ubuntu will not detect my Raid array.  ive tried ubuntu 13.04, 12.10, 12.04 and the alternate disk of ubuntu.23:57
=== CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away
bekkszaileion: That will not work at all, because you dont have a real HW raid controller. You have a so-called "fakeraid" controller which just works because of the windows drivers provided.23:58
bekkszaileion: alas: do not use fakeraid at all.23:59
zaileionwell.  the Asus support page says its true RAID...23:59
bekkszaileion: It actually is a raid - an true one, because it exists. But it is managed by windows drivers, not by some hardware controller.23:59
zaileionok.  if thats not how i do it, thaan please someone provide some advice.  ive checked 1000 pages on google, and have been at this for weeks.23:59
