zaileionhow can it be managed by a windows driver if the raid drive shows up in bios?  i am not arguing (so to speak) im asking so i can understand.00:05
zaileionalso, will i be able to install windows on this raid array created by the LVM after i install ubuntu?00:06

BaribalHi. How can I tell a CD-ROM drive to spin down? It's spinning up every now and then by accident, and while I want to keep the disk in the drive, the sound of it is bothering me a bit.01:01
switchingbaribal i really don't know, but most optical drives i have had did the same thing when you have a cd in the drive.  Not sure why though, how bad is it?01:08
switchingdoes anyone know if there is a documentation channel?01:09
GodoyXBaribal: i think you could disable the disk drive, but that would be akward, having to enable/disable your CD-ROM drive every time you want to use it... I think the best thing to do is take out the CD...01:10
switchinggodoyz: agreed01:10
ericluwolfI'm having trouble recompiling the Linux kernel on 13.04, I've downloaded the headers and the source, and am having some difficulty with the compiler flags.01:13
ericluwolfNever mind, I traced it back to a syntax error in the MAKEFILE.01:15
ericluwolfAlso, does anybody know of a ppa for texlive 2012 for raring?01:15
Baribalswitching, not really bad, it's just a nuisance, and I assumend that there would be a swift and easy way to deal with it for the CLI-savvy.01:17
switchingbaribal im not sure, sorry!01:20
reshi, is changing the permissions of the file "/sys/class/backlight/intel_backlight/brightness" to 777 a bad idea? I wrote an app which requires write permission for the file.01:21
switchingbaribal is it an old computer?01:21
Baribalswitching, no, a i3-quadcore notebook.01:21
resi3 is actually dualcore01:23
Baribalres, setting world-writable is generally a bad idea, although it's hard to imagine an actual scenario in which it would become relevant. Running your app with appropriate user/group would be the more traditional way.01:23
switchinghm, idk then baribal01:23
Baribalres, okay, it's two processors, two cores each. :p01:24
resyup :)01:24
Baribalres, I just checked my /sys/class/backlight/acpi_video0/brightness and it is at 644 and root:root, so running your app with sudo / gksudo might be a better idea.01:26
resBaribal: my app is actually an panel indicator01:26
resa*01:26
Guest18524how can i reinstall sound?01:27
BaribalAh, I see the problem... Well, do you really want it to *set* brightness, res?01:28
switchingguest18524 you mean your speakers?01:28
resBaribal: , well, the problem is that brightness doesn't work for me in 13.04. it's a confirmed bug as someone told me yesterday. So i decided to write a small indicator01:28
Guest18524switching: im having all sorts of audio problems, and i think that would be the easiest way to fix it. Im having alsa problems and jack problems, and id like to be able to just reinstall everything01:29
BaribalIf not, 644 will be just fine. If yes, the easy way really is setting it 666 and being aware that now everybody on your system can set brightness. The sophisticated way would be finding or writing a service that runs as root and allows authorized users to set brightness.01:29
switchingguest18524 did it ever work? is this an ubuntu-preinstall system or did you install it?01:30
BaribalThen again, res, the scenario of someone ssh-ing into a notebook which is on somebody elses lap and messing with its brightness is something that IRL would probably only occur in university dorms and nerdy flat-sharing communities.01:31
Guest18524switching: It did. I updated from 12.04 a few weeks ago, and was trying to get Jack to work lastnight and it managed to mess up alsa as well.01:31
resBaribal: lol yea. I guess I'll move forward then01:31
switchingguest18524 so it stopped working immediately on update to 13.04?01:31
Guest18524No, it worked fine until I started messing with JACK, but I dont remember what I did to mess it up.01:32
switchingguest18524 ohhh sorry01:32
Baribalres, and if you'd be so kind to give me shell access, I'll go ahead messing with you just to make a point. :)01:32
eazel7woooho, each time I come there is more people here, love to see that01:32
resBaribal: as good as it sounds, i'd have to pass :P01:33
switchingguest18524 did you try reinstalling jack? i actually don't know the first thing about jack01:33

wilee-nileeGuest14819, YOu have the external first read in the bios02:41
wilee-nileeGuest14819, Was it booting being troubled?02:42
Guest14819Yes the external is first02:42
wilee-nileeGuest14819, You say it has problems, how would making it a external to be read at much slower speeds help?02:43

=== _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman
wilee-nileeGuest14819, IF you want help you might consider answering questions, giving details, and your final goal.02:50
pfifoGuest14819, but to answer youir question, no, grub uses disks in read only mode, so no files can get written02:52
wilee-nileeGuest14819, generally you would boot in text to see that, but your not booting.02:54
wilee-nileenot exactly a grub log though02:54
Guest14819i'd would like to get more details of the grub freeze, but i don't now how could i get it02:55
wilee-nileeGuest14819, I will try once more, what made you think the HD had problems?02:56
wilee-nileeIt may not be the HD is failing but a software problem that would be best addressed as an internal.02:57
Guest14819i can't boot my OS , i have no menu02:58
wilee-nileeGuest14819, So when the HD was still an internal you had no grub menu? Was this always?02:58
Guest14819no, when it was internal all was fine02:59
wilee-nileeGuest14819, Ah, I am not sure why your having problems as an external but it is problematic to run ubuntu or any OS externally in less than usb3 it is slower, you could try the shift key at powering on to see the grub menu.03:00
Guest14819keep pressing shift key?03:02
wilee-nileeGuest14819, In general to see grub on a singke install OS on  hd the shift key is used03:02

Ben64windows key, super key, whatever you want to call it03:14

Guest14819yes03:15
trismBen64: you can, but it is already set to switch between launchers03:15
Ben64i don't use unity03:16
Ben64it causes problems to alt+tab out of wine and so i would like to use meta4+tab to avoid the problem, instead of the more difficult task of fixing the bug in wine03:17
pfifoBen64, Im thinking you can just edit your keymap and trick it into thinking the super key is really the alt key, Im not sure if this works for you OR works at all though03:17
Ben64well it wouldn't help the problem if it was alt, i'd just like it to have alt+tab functionality03:17

DiamondciteWhat is that?03:52
meowtails.boum.org03:52

redmetalmenaceTails is a liveOS that is completely anonymous03:52

meowhow do I do that?03:54
Seegeejoobz: I was told I need to do something with -m recent?03:54
redmetalmenaceIt's a relatively simple process: just leave your computer unplugged for 20 minutes03:54
pfifoSeegee, I have done limiting, not sure if it can be done on a per IP basis, but with a name like pfifo, I better find out right?03:54
redmetalmenacejoobz: also, thanks :) <303:55
Seegeepfifo, I guess so :) xD03:55
meowReally?03:55

joobzSeegee, im not sure if it is needed for syn flood detection.. let me check03:55
pfifoSeegee, does -s not work for this?03:56
akurilin2Quick question, what do I have to do, as user of the old 12.04, to get all of the updates in 12.04.2?03:56
meowOk. I think it was unplugged when I came in here earlier because it was doing this earlier today and I let it do it for a few minutes and then unplugged it because I didn't want it just sitting here for hours rebooting it's self.03:56
SeegeeOk, because I know with this rule, it denies everyone access to the server, not just the person who is flooding it03:56
redmetalmenaceAlright03:56
Seegeepfifo: what would I put after -s? Wouldnt I need a specific IP?03:56
meowI think I unplugged it like 10 hours ago and went about my business for the day03:56
joobzSeegee, it looks like recent module is not needed to detect synfloods03:56
redmetalmenacemeow: then the battery should have (theoretically) reset03:56
joobzSeegee, you should be right with just using limit03:57
* redmetalmenace is pondering what to do...03:57
meowI just think that I'm not 100% sure because I don't remember03:57
pfifoSeegee, -s is the source address/mask, so like to apply the rule to google dns, '-s 8.8.8.8/32'03:57
meowIs it possible that the battery could have died and it needs a new one? Or is it going to be more than that03:57
Seegeepfifo, but how will I know the address of someone flooding my server before it happens?03:57
redmetalmenaceCMOS battery?03:57
joobzSeegee, what happens when you use that iptables rule you pasted above?03:57
meowyes03:57
redmetalmenaceThose aren't known to die…03:57
redmetalmenace:303:57
redmetalmenaceI mean, even after 4 years03:58
Seegeejoobz, it works, but when the connection limit is reached, it denies everyone access, not just the attacker03:58
meowI didn't think so, in all of my years of computering, I've never heard of one dying.03:58
meow603:58
pfifoSeegee, if your trying to prevent a flood your approaching the problem incorrectly, limit is for QoS03:58
redmetalmenaceFair enough03:58
SeegeeWhat does QoS stand for?03:58
meoweither way this sucks because I was going to get rid of it next week to a friend03:58
joobzSeegee, ahh.. and when you say denies everyone access, do you mean just syn's or all traffic?03:58
SeegeeJust syns03:59
redmetalmenaceCan I ask what happened to the original battery?03:59
SeegeeWhich denies access to the webserver03:59
pfifoSeegee, Quality of Service, its how you split a 1000Mbps connection into 10 100Mbps connections03:59
Seegeepfifo, I am trying to prevent a layer 7 flood, not a bandwidth saturating flood like a UDP flood03:59
meoware you talking to me?04:00
redmetalmenaceYup :3 sorry :P04:00
meowoh. I was 18 and dumb and didn't take care of the battery by keeping it plugged into the wall all of the time and I think that ruined it. So I have to run it with a power source at all times now.04:01
pfifoSeegee, what exactly is happening?04:01
Seegeepfifo, I am trying to prevent an HTTP flood on my web server04:01
pfifoSeegee, so someone if just sending lots of requests but not saturating your bandwidth?04:02
redmetalmenacemeow ahhhh.04:02
Seegeepfifo, they are crashing apache, my web server04:02
pfifoSeegee, is this distributed or just someone with a dhcp address?04:03
meowI was going to buy a new battery for it and a new heatsink/ fan and put it in with some new thermal paste and give it to a friend. I guess not anymore.04:03
Seegeepfifo: A layer 7 flood is an attack that targets the application layer, such as apache, ssh, etc. They aim to crash the service using an exploit or sheer overwhelming ammount04:03
redmetalmenaceI can't think of anything that could work… then again, it's Sunday...04:03
redmetalmenace:P04:03
Seegeepfifo: It is not that someone is doing it now, but it is a fairly common attack, that I would like to be protected against04:04
joobzSeegee, give me a sec, just reading into this.. looks like limit module doesn't have a concept of isolating src addreses04:04
joobz.. ie, it is doing what it should be doing and blocking all SYN's04:04
pfifoSeegee, why do you want to limit them? Just '-j DROP'04:04
Seegeepfifo: Because I cannot manually do that everytime I get attacked by a 1k + botnet04:05
pfifoSeegee ohh I see, proactive security04:05
Seegeeyea :)04:05
Seegeepfifo and joobz, someone said something about hashlimit if I remember correctly...04:05
Ben64get hardware ddos protection04:05
=== blankx is now known as kyme
joobzSeegee, OK, you can do this just with recent module04:06
joobzlimit module has no concept of isolating the SRC address, so it's useless in this case04:06

joobziptables -I INPUT -m state --state NEW --syn -m recent --name FLOODERS --set04:10
kyme:) Hello, How do I fix my gwibber for twitter :)04:10
joobztype those two commands Seegee, in that order04:10
joobza few things to note..04:10
joobz1. that rule will drop SYN's if it receives 3 SYN's within 1 second04:11
SeegeeHmmm... unknown option `--syn'04:11
joobz2. the -I INPUT is used, which will mean it's right at the top of your INPUT table (this rule is not matching just web server traffic, but all input traffic)04:11
joobzSeegee, drop the --syn04:11
ktopchinahi guys04:12
joobzSeegee, it won't matter as --state NEW is used04:12
SeegeeOk04:12
SeegeeI have done that...04:12
joobztry it now04:12
ktopchinai installed 12.04.2 last night and i have worked on it for about three hours04:12
SeegeeSo let me try this04:12
ktopchinaso far i have encountered three crushes04:13
joobzSeegee, keep in mind, this is for all traffic, not just web server04:13
ktopchinais it common04:13
joobzSeegee, but if i were you (having DoS issues), i would not just limit this rule to web server only04:13
joobzSeegee, also this rule is pretty rigid.. you could play wiht --seconds and --hitcount to be a bit more generous04:13
ktopchina????????????04:14
SeegeeI know joobz, I am just scared of connection hungry protocols and falsely blocking people... I mean I do sell Game servers04:14
pfifoSeegee, joobz, can you specify '-dport 80' here?04:14
joobzyou can do --dport 8004:15
kymektopchina - just keep update and don''t ignore those updates :)04:15
SeegeeAs you have it, it will apply to all ports though right?04:15
joobzright..04:16

holstein!info fai04:18
ubottuPackage fai does not exist in raring04:18
pfifoSeegee, set your hitcount to 4, and set your webservers to max-connections 2 (the default I think) and you likely will never block anyone who is legit. The 3rd connection will be refused and the webbrowser should hopefully wait until it closes a connection before retrying04:19

Ari-Yangspeaking of kernels I have a question....05:45
amanSharmantzrmtthihu777: no it doesn't work after a restart.05:45
theadminHm... Would apt-get autoremove get rid of old kernels? I mean, they are in theory no longer needed, and they were pulled in as a dependency...05:45
theadminI don't have a way to test at the moment as I'm up-to-date05:45
Ari-Yangthe value of line 'GRUB_DEFAULT=0' in /etc/default/gurb means that it's set to boot the current kernel. lets say I want to automatically boot an old kernel without selecting it via grub menu, would I change the 0 in GRUB_DEFAULT to -1 or increase it by 1?05:46
ntzrmtthihu777amanSharma: hmm. what version of java have you installed? and from where?05:46

ubottuamanSharma and its not nice to cuss at folk trying to help you.: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional.05:51
Ari-Yangtheadmin, ah I see.... so for e.g. http://paste.opensuse.org/56920907 on line 135 of that paste mentions kernel 3.10, the one I'm currently using, the next kernel it mentions is (line 172 of that paste) 3.5. So if I change the value of GRUB_DEFAULT=0 to 1, then it would specifically boot kernel 3.5.0-34-generic? (which is the next kernel /boot/grub/grub.cfg mentions)?05:52
lotuspsychje!java | amanSharma05:52
ubottuamanSharma: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software  Development Kit" (SDK).  Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.05:52

Ben64ntzrmtthihu777: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-generic-lts-raring05:55
theadmincordoval: System Settings -> Language Support -> (drag/drop languages, make "English (Canada)" or such the first one) -> Apply Systemwide05:56
Ben64ntzrmtthihu777: then do sudo dpkg-reconfigure dkms05:56
ntzrmtthihu777Ari-Yang: quite frankly I don't think i actualy *need* it, lol. I don't even use my on-board wifi card anymore, just the usb card I have :P05:56
caskaidalso, connecting from machine to itself works fine using localhost05:56
lotuspsychjecaskaid: maybe the ##networking guys might know aswell05:57
ntzrmtthihu777Ben64: already have them, it seams. and dpkg-reconfigure dkms did not seem to do much :P05:57
Ari-Yangntzrmtthihu777, ah I see..... I haven't gotten to compiling my wifi proprietary driver into 3.10 yet.... so far the built in one seems to be fine though, it doesn't d/c me like it did when I was on 3.505:58
lotuspsychjecaskaid: got a router that could block?05:58
caskaidlotuspsychje, ok. just wasn't sure if it is in fact a networking issue, or client/server issue05:58
Ari-Yangntzrmtthihu777, http://askubuntu.com/questions/147651/nvidia-drivers-dont-work-with-mainline-kernel05:58
Ari-Yangyou might find that interesting05:58
ntzrmtthihu777heres a quick question. how can I have "source ~/.bashrc" ran after sshing into a machine?05:58
Ben64Ari-Yang: completely different issue05:59
lotuspsychjecaskaid: could be both indeed05:59
caskaidlotuspsychje, running dd-wrt with firewall disabled and open ports. something I didn't think about was actuallys specifying the VNC service ports though05:59
theadminntzrmtthihu777: Uh, it likely will. That file is sourced every time bash starts.05:59
ntzrmtthihu777Ari-Yang: eh, I have an ati card. echo "$LINUS_NVIDIA_QUOTE"05:59
Ari-YangBen64, oh....05:59
ghsAnyone knows a good alternatives similar to wgetpaste command line for Ubuntu ?05:59
theadminghs: pastebinit is in the repos. Actually, I think it's even in the default install.05:59
lotuspsychjecaskaid: maybe nmap your machines to see whats running where05:59
cordovaltheadmin: it keeps on spanish06:00
ghstheadmin, How to install ?06:00
Ari-Yangntzrmtthihu777, you a gamer? personally fglrx is horrible >_> it has horrible 2d acceleration06:00
theadminghs: sudo apt-get install pastebinit06:00
Ben64ntzrmtthihu777: then uh... make sure linux-headers-3.8.0-26 is installed?06:00
Ari-Yangif you don't do any gaming, you're better off with the open source drivers06:00
ntzrmtthihu777theadmin: I ran ssh localhost as a test, and it was not sourced, lol. I can tell as some of my scripts could not be called without a full path, whereas normally it does.06:00
theadmincordoval: Eh... You'd need to log out and back in to chane that language06:00
lotuspsychje!vnc | caskaid06:00
squaregoldfishntzrmtthihu777: Put this in your .profile: http://pastebin.com/NtypGHm206:00
ubottucaskaid: VNC is a protocol for remote desktop. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VNCOverSSH describes how to use it securely.  It works best over fast connections, otherwise look at !FreeNX06:00
caskaidlotuspsychje, might not be a bad idea, was hoping it was a common thing, never tried before only used other vnc alternatives. Figured I'd give the built-in  programs a try.06:00
caskaidlotuspsychje, i know what VNC is :) thx06:00
ntzrmtthihu777Ari-Yang: erm, yeah I suppose you could call me a gamer, but I rather enjoy older games so its not an issue06:00
caskaidbut yes... i'll check out the references there06:01
ghstheadmin, Great!06:01
lotuspsychjecaskaid: you could try teamviewer just for testing out if connection between both machines work there06:01
ntzrmtthihu777squaregoldfish: no dice.06:01
caskaidlotuspsychje, that was my next step.... but I'd like it to work with a much simpler app, as I'm hoping to build in the functions06:02
theadminlotuspsychje: TeamViewer is a bad suggestion, it does creepy magic that gets past about any hardware or software firewall06:02
squaregoldfishntzrmtthihu777: That's all I've got. Sorry.06:02
theadminlotuspsychje: So for testing connections... eh.06:02
ntzrmtthihu777theadmin: not to mention its wine anyways, right?06:02
caskaidtheadmin, known06:02
fchmmri came here for personal guidance, already my suspicions are confirmed (that people are asleep so far). so. amazon issue (and facebook, etc). collaboration with non-free software distribution (drivers, firmware). open endorsement of non-free software like skype (which, among others, happens to be part of prism and many other scandals). casual dismissal of Secure Boot issue. Community complacency (or in some cases, ignor06:02
fchmmrance) of these and other issue. On the part of nkowledgeable people, unwillingness to discuss or casual dismissal of the issue. I believe these should at least be considered openly. Discuss?06:02
caskaidreally, they don't have a native version? wow06:02
caskaidgoogle says they do06:03
ntzrmtthihu777fchmmr: more along the lines for an ubuntu-offtopic discussion06:03
theadminntzrmtthihu777: Halfish. The Linux version actually is different, it has a proper daemon that starts on system bootup (service) and a few features that don't work on Linux were pulled out06:03
theadmincaskaid: Well, most of their Linux version runs through Wine06:03
caskaidlotuspsychje, let me try manually forwarding ports first I suppose.06:03
fchmmrit is extremely on-topic. if something this important is put off to a sub-section, most people do not see.06:03
caskaidtheadmin, i see06:04
Ben64fchmmr: actually its off topic. this is for ubuntu support only06:04
logavancNot sure where else to go... thought I might try here.  I need to tell a module that it can work with a device that I have.  The vendor and device IDs are not in the module alias list, but it should still be using the cp210x module.  Any ideas?06:04
fchmmrindeed, i stand corrected. where do you think will be the most appropriate (and most effective) place to discuss these issues openly? (where many people can see, right at the lions heart)06:05
ntzrmtthihu777squaregoldfish: ah, placing this into ~/.bash_profile does the trick, however.06:05
Ben64fchmmr: #ubuntu-offtopic exists06:05
ubuntu890i686   is it 32 or 64 architecture?06:05
theadminubuntu890: 32-bit06:06
ubuntu890theadmin thanks06:06
fchmmrnot many people there.06:06
ntzrmtthihu777fchmmr: cannot be helped.06:06
theadminfchmmr: This isn't really this channel's concern where you discuss this issue. Please stay ontopic while you're here. Although I agree the problem is serious, it's still offtopic here.06:07
fchmmrmy only wish is that ubuntu users start to consider these issue more. everywhere i go, i see only positive things, its like people are asleep. forums, videos, this channel, etc. what is being discussed, public attitudes, i believe its healthy to talk about them.06:07
NonaSuomiI think I may have asked already, but quick question: I'm formatting a drive freshly, with the intent of hosing media for a home server. What filesystem is ideal for this?06:07
NonaSuomi*hosting06:08
fchmmri also would like cannonical to reconsider their collective stance on these issues06:08
logavancNonaSuomi, I use ext4... nice and stable.06:08
caskaidNonaSuomi, personally I have 8TB on ext4 without issue06:08
NonaSuomiThat's what I was thinking, but is there any reason Butter isn't preferable?06:09
caskaidNonaSuomi, though zfs can be fun and challenging. FreeNAS uses it by default..06:09
lotuspsychjecan lost+found be deleted safely on ext4?06:09
theadminNonaSuomi: The fact that it's highly experimental and there's no stable release?06:09
ntzrmtthihu777lotuspsychje: should not.06:09
theadminlotuspsychje: It can't be at all, it's part of the filesystem06:09
lotuspsychjeok06:09
ntzrmtthihu777lotuspsychje: its there for a reason.06:09
NonaSuomiOkay, sounds like ext4 then. Stable and simple, right. Thanks!06:09
ntzrmtthihu777theadmin: actually it can, but it comes back like immediatly. I did it back before I knew beter.06:09
agoraif anyone has a canon ip1700 i just wrote up a howto on the community documentation wiki for it :)06:10
theadminntzrmtthihu777: Sorta what I meant06:10
ntzrmtthihu777very nice.... this worked well for me :D06:10
nyRednekok, should i make a live image, with a casper-rw partition on the usb chip, could i encrypt said partition and allow access to it with a password on boot?06:11
RalliasIs there a way to define an onfirstboot parameter in my preseed.cfg file?06:11
logavancDo can anyone even give me a keyword to google for forcing a usb device to use a certain module?06:12
Ralliaslogavanc, Deny the unwanted module via /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist ?06:12
logavancRallias, the problem is that the vendor and device ids are not in the modules alias list.06:13
fchmmrtheadmin: agreeing is easy to do. the swindler agrees that his actions are wrong, but he does them anyway. what i feel is that many people now are starting to accept these issues as non-issues, it becomes normal. people start to think only for themselves and the problem expands. an IRC channel is probably ineffective anyway, there are less than 1000 people here.06:13
fchmmri will find another way06:13
theadminfchmmr: Good luck.06:13
fchmmrluck is irrelevant06:13
RalliasnyRednek, Do you have an existing linux machine and a scratch space that exceeds in size your flash drive?06:13
OerHeksfchmmr, less than 1000 here? really?06:14
nyRednekRallias, yes06:14
Rallias*cracks knuckles* Are you prepared to spend about 2 1/2 hours working with it?06:14
fchmmrOerHeks: 1490 to be precise06:14
nyRednekRallias, definitely06:15
fchmmrslightly more than 1000 then,06:15
nyRednekRallias, i'm running debootstrap to start building custom livefs as we speak06:15
ntzrmtthihu777oy, what was the apt command to show a packages deps again?06:15
caskaidman apt ;)06:16
RalliasnyRednek, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FullDiskEncryptionHowto <- That's your best bet. Replace your /dev/hd* with your USB drive's devnod.06:16
theadminntzrmtthihu777: apt-cache depends package_name06:16
RalliasnyRednek, I'd be able to help, but right now I'm doing maintenence on a few too many servers.06:17
nyRednekRallias, understood06:17
ntzrmtthihu777yeah, seems I was wrongish. ubuntu-tweak needs compiz-core, which is needed by unity.06:17
RalliasnyRednek, If you need further help, I've done this kind of thing a couple times, feel free to email me.06:18
Ralliasthe@ubernerd.us06:18
ntzrmtthihu777and as I have no use for compiz I'd rather not install it, even if its pretty useful :P06:18
theadminRallias: Posting e-mail in a channel like this is of bad idea...06:18
wilee-nilee let the spam begin06:19
Ralliastheadmin, Posting a publicly announced email in a publicly logged channel is a bad idea?06:19
RalliasWhen since?06:19
nyRednekRallias, you know, this would be easier if truecrypt would install its bootloader on a flash drive without windows(will it?)06:19
RalliasnyRednek, The problem is, as far as I'm aware, truecrypt cannot boot linux.06:20
nyRednekRallias, if it can load syslinux, that'd be fine with me06:20
nyRednekRallias, or does it even have problems there?06:20
RalliasnyRednek, AFAIK, it's designed to load ntldr with a memdisk. I don't think it's possible.06:21
RalliasAt least not with a major kernel patch that'll take a few years to push through.06:21
nyRednekRallias, meh, thanks, though...i'll do it with full disk encryption, then06:21
ntzrmtthihu777welp, I've gotten and given info needed tonite, all is well with the world. ganite all06:22
nyRednekRallias, the problem with the fulldisk encryption would be the fstab06:25
ak5hi! I switched to another terminal emulator, called termite. Now, when I ssh into my headless ubuntu boxes, I tmux complains about  missing/unsuitable terminal: xterm-termite06:26
nyRednekRallias, if i'm using a usb chip, the fstab may not fit every machine i plug it into06:26
RalliasnyRednek, If that's too big a problem, just load your usb disk in qemu as a raw image and use the ubuntu alternate install cd.06:26
Random832ak5: just set TERM=xterm before running tmux06:26
Random832tmux isn't willing to make assumptions about terminfo entries it can't find, unlike most programs06:27
theadminRallias: That sadly fails, the text installer hangs in Qemu for god knows what reasons06:27
Random832if you really care about it, figure out why its terminfo entry didn't get installed06:27
RalliasSo that's why I've got all these bloody support tickets complaining about the ubuntu iso's.06:27
Random832ak5: where did you get this 'termite' program? I don't see it in apt-cache search06:27
ak5Random832: well, I don't :P I am just going to add that to .bash_profile or something06:28
ak5Random832: https://github.com/thestinger/termite06:28
draconus2would you have an idea how to convert a png image from 27x27 pixels to 16x16 pixels using only console?06:28
theadmindraconus2: mogrify -resize 16x16\! myfile.png06:29
ak5Random832: its a very nice utf8 terminal with colors that replaces urxvt for example06:29
Random832ak5: see the .terminfo file?06:29
draconus2theadmin i love you06:29
Random832ak5: you need to run tic on that.06:29

draconus2theadmin running to test that now :)06:29
Random832that's the real solution; I just didn't know what to point out to you until I saw the list of files06:30
theadmindraconus2: (mogrify is part of imagemagick)06:30
Random832then you won't have to set TERM06:30
Random832theadmin: what's the difference between mogrify and convert?06:30
draconus2theadmin thank you again... was just going to tell you that i couldn't find mogrify package ;)06:30
* Random832 looks at the manpage06:31
Random832oh, mogrify throws away the source image06:31
draconus2Random832 so there is convert also?06:31
theadminRandom832: convert outputs to a different file, mogrify modifies the original one (making it easier to process multiple images: mogrify -resize 16x16\! *.png)06:31
draconus2theadmin that's what i need in fact... like 400 files...06:31
Random832draconus2: convert is part of imagemagick, and I hadn't heard of mogrify before today06:31
draconus2was going to use ms paint for that... and convert one by one06:31
Random832ah, so it's for people who don't know how to write for loops06:32

draconustheadmin, Random832: this is strange but mogrify doesn't downscale 27x27 to 16x16 as well as ms paint does... i tried several options and i either get blurred or simply less readible icon07:03

Ben64nbags: just install 12.04 or something supported fresh. upgrades take a long time and stuff will surely break from 6.0607:05
nbagstheadmin: thanks. i will snapshot and give the upgrade a go. i've usually been fairly successful in untangling any apt problems with debian. hopefully ubuntu is more or less the same07:05
nbagsBen64: i dont mind stuff breaking. it should still be easier than a fresh install in this case07:06
ikoniaBen64: 6.06 is not compatible upgrade to 10.04 I think, it breaks before that07:06

nbagsyeah it'll be 8.something right?07:06
Ben64nbags: no, it would not be easier to upgrade 6.06 to 12.0407:06
theadminnbags: How is this easier? You can copy configs and data over (for the most part, beware for config format changes)07:07

mmxxyyHi. Have to compile an 2.6.9 kernel for MIPSEL. Unfortunately the 'make menuconfig' do not work as there are some issues with libncurse (even if i had installed them). The 'make config' works, but it is toooo long. How can i add modules that i want to kernel to compile them? I've tried to manually add to '.config' but it doesn't accept07:21
djonoit can happen anytime while watching video or chatting in irc etc...07:22

chunkyheadwilee-nilee: is it safe to delete ppas in /etc/apt/source.list.d/ ?07:24
wilee-nilee!ppa-purge | chunkyhead07:25
ubottuchunkyhead: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html07:25
djonoi thought that as well but i had it under a fan and it happens as well.07:25
nbagsmmxxyy: u want to put the .config in /usr/src/linux (or whereever). then run 'make oldconfig', you can keep just pressing enter for every question if you want defaults. then edit the .config by hand or with menuconfig07:25
chunkyheadwilee-nilee: what exactly is there in sources.list.d?07:25
mmxxyynbags> i've tried to add some config lines to '.config', but on the 'make' step it just reuse the old config...07:25
mmxxyynbags> for unknown reason the 'make menuconfig' do not work..07:26
mmxxyynbags> do you want me to show you the 'menuconfig' error?07:26
wilee-nileechunkyhead, It is just another source place generally 3rd parties.07:26
nbagsmmxxyy: that shouldn't matter. but just adding lines may not work. you may also have to remove some lines07:26
chunkyheadwilee-nilee: so i'm guessing nothing's gonna happen if i del them right? coz i just did and apt-get update runs fine07:26
mmxxyynbags> what do you advice?07:27
nbagsmmxxyy:  its been years since i built my own kernels though07:27
wilee-nileechunkyhead, Purging them would probably be best.07:27
chunkyheadi dont think i can purge after i rm a file? :P now can i? wilee-nilee07:27
wilee-nileechunkyhead, No, you are probably fine since they error out.07:28
nbagsmmxxyy: i would put your .config, from the vendor or whatever into the source tree. then do make oldconfig, and take all defaults. then open the .config and search for the config options you want to change and change them. dont just add stuff at the start or the end of the .config07:28
nbagsopen .config in a text editor i mean07:28
chunkyheadwilee-nilee: i like how subtle the probably sounds. ;)07:29
mmxxyyi'll try07:29
mmxxyythanks07:29
wilee-nileechunkyhead, Purge is used most often when people add a ppa and it borks their setup, the purge removes all the updates from the ppa and sets it stock.07:29
chunkyheadalright thanks wilee-nilee07:30

Applesouce_theadmin: yes working <.< now I'm done with not-playing games :P Thank you very much for the mental support!!! :D09:15
nimeshi know  but can any one help me get to 12.1209:15
nimeshi mean 12.1009:16
Znooseydon't get 12.1009:16
Znooseyget 13.04 it is much better09:16
IdleOnethat's helpful09:16
nimeshhow do i do that then09:16

IdleOnesee the second link09:16
bekksnimesh: The most easy way would be to reinstall 12.0409:16
nimeshalso my apt-get is not working for some reason09:17
nbagsnimesh: u got an error or something?09:18
nimeshyeah09:18
nimeshand now for some reason i can't open terminal09:18
gordonjcpnimesh: easiest way at this point is probably just to do a clean install09:18
nbagsnimesh: thats to be expected09:18
nbagsnimesh: can u press ctrl-alt-f1 and continue the upgrade from there?09:19
gordonjcpnimesh: go with 12.04 if you don't want to bother with reinstalling for a while, 13.04 if you want the latest-and-greatest, and 13.10 if you like living on the bleeding edge09:19
gordonjcpnimesh: (don't go with 13.10)09:19
nbagsi never do upgrades with X running ... asking for trouble09:20
gordonjcpI never do upgrades09:21
gordonjcpI just run LTS, and when a new one comes out I do a clean install09:21
gordonjcpand at that, I usually just do a clean install onto a brand new disk09:21
nbagsgordonjcp: thats best for sure09:21
gordonjcpa few wee apt-get installs and a quick copying of some dotfiles and /etc directories, and we're bangin'09:22
nimesh1hi again09:22
JimmyGHowdy.09:23
JimmyGI've got some issues with CIFS09:23
nbagsgordonjcp: yeah thats fine if its your own system, but if its someone elses and you dont know their configs or the software they are using i prefer to upgrade09:23
JimmyGWhen the network share I've mounted goes down the computer becomes unreachable09:23
nimesh1some body on here told me to do ctr-alt-f1 ho do i get out of it09:23
gordonjcpnbags: if it's someone else's system chances are I configured it anyway09:23
nbagsnimesh ctrl-alt-f7, or f809:23
bekksJimmyG: Thats expected. You computer infinitely waits for the share to respond to IO requests.09:24
nimeshthanz09:24
nimeshi'm using to ubuntu pc09:24
JimmyGbekks: Figures. Any workaround?09:24
bekksJimmyG: Ensure that the network share doesnt go down.09:24
JimmyGlol09:24
bekksJimmyG: Thats the only solution.09:24
nimeshany way i cant upgrade using ctr-alt-f109:24
bekksnimesh: Why not?09:25
nimeshit stuck at triggers for gnome-menus09:25
nbagsbekks: yeah i still think thats pretty lame. if u have a laptop with wifi, then you plug it into lan for to do a file copy or whatever cifs should handle that, like it does under windows09:26
JimmyGSo I have to use FTP to move stuff to another computer I don't have full control over?09:26
nimeshi did do-release-upgerde09:26
nbagsnimesh: error?09:26
nimeshyeah let me do it again and i will write it down09:26
bekksJimmyG: You just have to ensure the share doesnt go down. No need to use FTP :)09:26
nimeshunable to get exclusive lock09:27
JimmyGbekks: Not everyone can control their entire network infrastructure.09:27
AdilHello09:27
nbagsnimesh: sounds like the other update (gui one) is still running09:27
bekksJimmyG: Shares are normally located on servers - and they can be controlled :)09:27
nimeshi did the upgrade on the giu for 11.04 to 11.10 and it has crashed/stoped09:28
nimeshit stuck at triggers for gnome-menus09:28
nbagsnimesh: so u will have to kill the tasks, like dpkg and apt, and the upgrade script09:28
Adili bought a laptop because i needed an alternative to my pc and i thought the the only way to make it usable for me was to install ubuntu09:28
JimmyGbekks: No self respecting admin sets up a server to rely on another computer being reachable09:28
Adilive figured out  the basics but im stuck on one tghing09:29
Adili got vuze09:29
nimeshhow do i do that09:29
Adilnow that ive closed it it wont start09:29
bekksJimmyG: Thats not the point. A server normally doesnt go down - so use that share to transfer your data.09:29
chunkyheadguy i need a little help with irssi, how to change the default nick?09:29
=== lonewolf is now known as Guest33485
nbagsnimesh: im not sure what the upgrade script is called. check with 'ps -ef'. but u probably want to 'killall -9 apt' 'killall -9 dpkg', etc. but there will be some mess to clean up. this is an unsupported upgrade which has failed so you wont neccessarily be able to fix it09:30
JimmyGbekks: Well this server does go down from time to time and with it, my client.09:30
nbagsnimesh: having said that ive recovered from such a situation before09:30
nimeshok i will try it09:30
nbagslike i say, bad idea to do upgrades in X09:30
Adilguys09:31
Adili minimized vuze09:31
Adilhow do i access g09:31
Adilit*09:31
jeff3864do you guys mind if i ask a question about live usb?09:31
nbagsjeff3864: go ahead09:32
nimesh1can i make a live usb in ubuntu for 12.10/13.0409:32
nbagsJimmyG: you might be able to set a short timeout with a mount option. i would be checking cifs mount options09:32
gordonjcpnimesh1: yes, just dd the iso to a USB stick, there's instructions on the wiki09:33
Adiluh09:33
nimesh1ok cool09:33
nimesh1can i recover data from my failed 11.04 to 11.10 upgrade09:34
jeff3864thanks, i have used multiple different pendrives and have tried redownloading ubuntu 12.04 multiple different times (most recently through torrent so i would get the error correction) and every time i try to boot from it it just hangs with the ubuntu logo and the loading dots. no error message or anything09:34
jeff3864and i have used linux mint through pendrive before09:34
nbagsJimmyG: maybe a soft mount? if thats still a thing ....09:34
bekksjeff3864: So how do yoiu finally create the bootable usb?09:34
jeff3864well i have used pendrive linux and a couple of other software after reformating the drive in windows09:35
sebrockI have a VPN connection up, I have gotten an IP. But I cannot ping or use it in any way. What might be wrong here?09:35
nbagsjeff3864: did u try to boot compatability mode?09:35
nbagssebrock: routing? firewall?09:36
jeff3864i never got a option menu come up when i boot09:36
bekksjeff3864: So how do you finally create the bootable usb?09:36
sebrocknbags: no, it works fine through my usual interface09:36
nimesh1wait i did a reboot when it crashed and now i am in 11.1009:36
nimesh1from 11.0409:36
nbagsjeff3864: i havent tried any recent ubuntu media. but you want to remove 'quiet' and 'splash' from your kernel command line. if u dont know how to do that someone here should be able to tell u09:37
wheatthinahh, should have just installed 12.04 nimesh109:37
nimesh1yeah  i am downloading 13.04 iso now09:37
wheatthinit's the lastest (oldest) one the community supports LTS09:37
jeff3864umm... ok09:37
nbagsnimesh1: an apt-get dist-upgrade might clean up the upgrade for you09:37
jeff3864do you know why it isnt giving me the standard menu that allows compatibility mode and such?09:38
nbagsnimesh1: if you can still boot your system you are halfway there ;)09:38
nbagsjeff3864: i don't, sorry i haven't booted ubuntu media since 10.something09:39
nimesh1yeah i did the command and it said o updates09:39
nimesh1how do i stight go to 13.04 from 11.1009:40
nbagsnimesh1: so it worked?09:40
nbagshaha09:40
nimesh1yes it did09:40
nbagscant09:40
nimesh1why not09:40
nbagsthats not the way ubuntu releases work09:41
nbagsyou can only go to the next release, or the next LTS release if you are currently on LTS09:41
nimesh1so how do the next upgrade09:41
nbagsu will have to do 2 or 3. probably better to reinstall in most cases09:42
nimesh1what command09:42
rooter_??09:42
nbagsdo-release-upgrade or whatever should still work09:42
nbagstake u to 12.04, hopefully09:42
nbagsif not,09:43

nbagsthe 2nd link09:43
nimesh1how long in time to get from 11.10 to 12.04 , 12.10 and then to 13.0409:43
nbagsnimesh1: depends on your system09:43
nbagsand connectionm09:44
nimesh1100 mps09:44
nbagsunless this system is heavily customised i would just install 13.04 from scratch09:45
gordonjcpnimesh1: that's a waste of time09:45
gordonjcpnimesh1: wipe it and reinstall09:45
gordonjcpnimesh1: keep copies of important config09:45
gordonjcpnimesh1: what's the system used for?  If it's just a plain ordinary desktop you probably haven't got much apart from /home that you need to keep09:46
nbagsi'm going to try upgrading some systems from 6.06 to 12.04 soon =P09:46
jeff3864alright i tried hitting esc as the system booted and i got a menue that has the options run from usb install on machine check memory and boot from first harddisk, i also have boot options the boot options under install from usb already have something written in them09:46
nimesh1ok i'll make a live usb09:47
=== james is now known as Guest21149
jeff3864can i erase what is uder run from usb and type whatever it takes to run in compatibility mode09:47
nbagsjeff3864: if you can remove quiet and splash from the boot options u will get some error reporting09:47
jeff3864i saw splash in there but not quiet09:47
jeff3864i remembered that when i was running that system on linux mint live usb i had to boot in compatibility if tha helps09:48
nimesh1my pc is a p4 2.8ghz .15gb or ram and a ati readon 9800 pro 128mb card will i be able to get 12.0409:48
nimesh1my pc is a p4 2.8ghz .15gb or ram and a ati readon 9800 pro 128mb card will i be able to get 13.0409:48
nbagsjeff3864: so why u messin around with ubuntu? ;)09:49
jeff3864for a pc im building for someone09:49
nbagsnimesh1: sure09:49
nimesh1how do i make live usb in ubuntu09:49
babueverestayone here09:49
jeff3864has an easier learning curve for basic things than windows 7 coming from windows 95 i feel09:50
babueverestany solution of read only file system ???09:50
gordonjcpbabueverest: remount with it read/write?09:50
nbagsjeff3864: u think unity is less learning curve than gnome 2 for windows users?09:50
braxtonplaxconimesh1, they have tools in the software center to make a live usb or you can use the dd command from the terminal09:50
babueverestwhenever i try to copy files to my external hard drive it says read only file system09:50
babueveresti tried but it didn't work :(09:51
nimesh1 my software center don't work09:52
babueverestwhat is the error with the software center nimesh1?09:52
nimesh1it won't download any thing09:53
babueverestwhich repo server are you using??09:54
jeff3864nbags: for verry simple things yes (it is for my grandfather09:54
jeff3864)09:54
nbagsnimesh1: in your case i would use dd, or apt-get install unetbootin or something. its no surprise your software centre is broken since your upgrade crash halfway thru and your on an unsupported release anyway09:54
braxtonplaxconimesh1, ok well here is how to use the dd command in a nutshell        sudo dd bs=4M if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX (sdx being your usb drive) and use the whole thing not a partition number like sdx1 but be careful not to wipe the wrong drive...09:55
jeff3864and when i say simple i mean browsing web and ripping/burning cd's09:55
nimesh1when i open terminal it keeps on closeing09:55
jeff3864I got rid of splash in the boot options and now i have a feed09:55
braxtonplaxcoactually the arch linux wiki has a good example on (how to make a bootable usb)09:55
IdleOne!usb09:56
ubottuFor information about installing Ubuntu from USB flash drives, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/FromUSBStick - For a persistent live USB install, see: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent09:56
jeff3864the last line it shows is09:56
jeff3864starting crash support submission daemon09:56
nbagsjeff3864: if u dont get anywhere with that u could try the alternate media. or for a bit of fun boot the mint cd and install ubuntu with debootstrap ;)09:56
jeff3864i installed ubuntu on the usb i had mint on09:58
jeff3864or i would just have installed that for him09:58
braxtonplaxconimesh1, if you need to you could try ctrl+alt+f1 (and then ctrl+alt+f7 is to get back on a graphical interface)10:00
sebrockusing traceroute I only seem to get to the first hop with the VPN. I can't get pass it. Anyone knows what could be wrong?10:00
waqarhello10:01
waqari have installed ‎#Ubuntu 13.04 and format other OS. but now I want to access my internal drives. how is it possible?10:01
chunkyheadis something wrong with my computer or is everyone getting this? http://screencloud.net/v/xYL010:01
braxtonplaxcochunkyhead, I don't think 'myunity' is a real package10:03
MonkeyDustchunkyhead  maybe you have to enable a source10:03
nimeshwhich is better 12.04 lts or 13.0410:04
MonkeyDustchunkyhead  try unity-tweak-tool, instead10:04
MonkeyDustnimesh  12.04 if you want long support, 13.04 if you want the latest stuff10:04
braxtonplaxconimesh, I Just installed 13.04 (comming back to ubuntu after a long trip through several distros) and I'm liking it a lot10:04
nbagsnimesh: depends how often you want to upgrade the system10:04
lesshastehi10:05
lesshastehow do you run ssh-agent from log in and not from a shell?10:05
nimeshmy pc is dual boot with xp for fsx but i want to join the ubuntu crew :)10:05
nbagsits a personal choice10:06
Campfirewhats ubuntu mean10:06
braxtonplaxcoif it will run 13.04 go for it if not try 12.04 and if not  that go for xubuntu10:07
nimeshi know but what is best for a p4 2.8ghz single cire 1.5gb Ram and a 128mb graphics card ati readeon 9800 pro10:07
nimeshcore i ment10:07
MonkeyDustCampfire  "I am because we are" or so, better inform in #ubuntu-offtopic10:07
nimesh1 core10:07
nbagsi would put debian stable on it10:07
Campfirety i,m out10:07
sebrockI think I have some routing issue. CAn anyone assist me in setting up the route correctrly?10:07
braxtonplaxconimesh, or back box (for fun hacker tools included, with lite desktop, and ubuntu os) ;)10:08
=== rbxs|Zzzz is now known as rbxs
nbagssebrock: maybe. but you'll have to post details somewhere, and probably scrub out your ips if they are public10:08
nimeshi dnno10:09
nimesh may be10:09
nbagsnimesh or latest mint mate desktop10:09
nimeshi will go with 12.04 for long support10:09
nbagsi probably wouldnt be trying to do unity or gnome 3 on it10:09
sebrocknbags: this is my routing table at the moment: http://pastebin.ca/241978810:09
nbagspersonally10:09
braxtonplaxconbags, just curious will mate run good on old desktops?10:09
nimeshalso what is the best unity lxde or xfce10:10
nbagsbraxtonplaxco: yeah10:10
chunkyheadguys, when i insert usb, how to change directory frm current to the usb?10:10
MonkeyDustbraxtonplaxco  mate is a mint thingy, better ask in mint support10:10
nbagsmint works great on debian and ubuntu too10:11
nbags*mate10:11
nimeshwhat do you mean by (mate) :(10:11
nbagssebrock: so what are you trying to do?10:12
braxtonplaxcolxde is faster, xfce is still very lite and has a lot of options, (mate is a really good option but I haven't used it that much) and unity can be heavy but I like it on my desktop because it doesn't have any problems running it.10:12
nbagsnimesh mate is like the fork of gnome 210:12
sebrocknbags: for starters I'm trying to utilize the VPN connection by pinging anything through it. But it won't let traffic through10:12
nimeshso is gnome unity or what10:12
jeriwhat is the command to terminate a process in lubuntu?10:12
nbagssebrock: is that the ppp0?10:12
sebrocknbags: yes10:12
nbagssebrock: so you need to say what ips you want going thru the vpn10:13
MonkeyDustjeri  ps -e , then kill the pid10:13
sebrocknbags: I can see control messages being sent to the remote point, but nothing else10:13
jeriok10:13
linxonjeri: or ps x10:13
sebrocknbags: can you specify what you mean?10:13
chunkyheadis there a way when i type "cp somefile ./somedirectory" for cp to show me progress of how much is completed?10:14
nbagssebrock: what ips are you trying to ping? you need a route to say what ips (or all) need to go thru the vpn10:14
bekkschunkyhead: No.10:14
nimeshi will now do the upgrade to 12.04 now10:14
jeriunsupported option (BSD syntax)10:14
chunkyheadbekks: is there any other command which would show me progress instead?10:14
nbagsotherwise your pings are just going thru the default route on eth010:14
sebrocknbags: I tried but must have it wrong. Using ping -i ppp0 www.google.com should ping through the ppp0 interface though10:15
sebrockit tries but is instantly stuck10:15
nimeshis there anything i need to do before i upgrade to 12.0410:15
MonkeyDustchunkyhead  you can open another terminal, then use the watch command, like so     watch 'ls -l [path_to_file]'10:15
nbagssebrock: i dont know if u can rely on ppp0 like that. i think u need a route10:16
nbagsi mean rely on ping -i10:16
braxtonplaxcochunkyhead, you can also do cp -v to at least get some output to know it hasn't frozen and that it is still moving steadily10:16
sebrocknbags: so how would I go about doing that?10:16
nbagssebroke something like 'ip route add <ip you are going to add> dev ppp0'10:17
jeriHi. is it ok to uninstall alsa in lubuntu? i got my mic working in pulseaudio it's working great, but in alsa it is muted, i have pulseaudio installed so is it safe to remove alsa?10:17
sebrocknbags: I want to be able to utilize both eth0 and ppp010:18
Steve^Hi, when I make a file in a directory,  a Files window won't automatically refresh and show it, and Sublime Text 2 won't detect it either - I need to manually refresh. What system handles this that might be malfunctioning?10:18
sebrockand not necessarily always go through the VPN10:18
nbagssebrock: what traffic do u want to send thru the vpn?10:18
sebrockarbitrary10:18
sebrockfor now I would be happy if just ping would work10:19
mns2Hello. :)10:19
mns2If I install Windows after Ubuntu, will my Ubuntu partition be wiped?10:19
nimeshno it won't10:20
nbagswell u need to use some method to route the traffic. with routes or iptables or whatever. you can match on all kinds of things like uid and pid but i dont think application level can choose which interface to use like that. linux kinda sucks in that respect10:20
MonkeyDustnimesh  no, but your grub will be ruined and you'll have to repair, which is a pain10:20
mns2Will grub be overwritten?10:20
mns2Oh10:20
mns2Okay thanks! :)10:20
jeriHi. is it ok to uninstall alsa in lubuntu? i got my mic working in pulseaudio it's working great, but in alsa it is muted, i have pulseaudio installed so is it safe to remove alsa?10:21
MonkeyDustmns2  ^^^^^10:21
nimeshyes but all you have to do is boot live and do apt-get update grub no ?10:21
mns2Should I use a dedicated grub2 usb drive repair thingy?10:21
sebrocknbags: OK so let's begin small. How would I route icmp packets to take the ppp0 route?10:21
braxtonplaxcothey do make a repair tool to fix it though (mentioned on the ubuntu website for duel booting with windows 8)10:21
nbagssebrock: so whatever address you want to ping, add a route (with command i gave before). now when u ping it or access it in any way it will be thru vpn10:22
braxtonplaxcofound a script to cp with a progress bar: https://chris-lamb.co.uk/posts/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget10:22
MonkeyDustmns2  install windows before ubuntu, or you will need this   https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows?action=show&redirect=RestoreGrub10:22
mns2Too bad my ubuntu is already 150gb in use. :)10:23
MonkeyDustbraxtonplaxco  you can alos use rsync -a --progress10:23
carnauWhich cd install version has LVM support? I can't find the alternate one.10:23
nbagsbraxtonplaxco: sweet!10:24
MonkeyDustmns2  150 is huge, something must have gone wrong10:24
mns2no just a lot of movies and backup files :)10:24
MonkeyDustmns2  make sure you have backup, in case something goes wrong10:24
braxtonplaxcogood ol' handbrake lol10:25
mns2don't have an external hdd and idk how to backup 150gb easily10:25
chunkyheadbekks: MonkeyDust braxtonplaxco is there something like wget? ref: http://screencloud.net/v/tfTa10:25
braxtonplaxcohttps://chris-lamb.co.uk/posts/can-you-get-cp-to-give-a-progress-bar-like-wget10:25
mns2gonna wing it lol10:26
bekkschunkyhead: Of course there is wget in Ubuntu.10:26
chunkyheadyou dont know how much i love you braxtonplaxco10:28
chunkyheadbekks:  lol ok thanks10:28
braxtonplaxcolol I try my best ^^10:28
chunkyheadbraxtonplaxco: there is just one problem, where to add that script?10:30
braxtonplaxcoone moment chunkyhead, I guess in /usr/bin/ and name it something like cp_p but let me check10:31
nbags.bashrc?10:31
nbagsnow i wish it showed speed, and stayed on the one line10:32
chunkyheadthere's always something you want more :P i am searching for more similar hacks. there have to be others. will let you know if i find some!10:33
mns2are there any significant speedups to ubuntu i can enable other than using lxde10:34
chunkyheadnbags: it says there "that this adds quite some overhead (30% to 50% in my tests) "10:34
braxtonplaxcoomg I found it! chunkyhead10:34
gordonjcpmns2: lxde won't speed anything up unless you're on an enormously old machine10:34
braxtonplaxcoinstall gcp and it does exactly what you want (and I like the program too lol)10:34
chunkyheadbraxtonplaxco: use locate filename10:35
mns2i thought it's super fast / responsive10:35
mns2no animation or anything; stuff just appears instantly10:35
braxtonplaxcono script needed it's in the software store10:35
chunkyheadbraxtonplaxco: let me test it10:36
chunkyheadbut first i need to take a dump brb XD10:36
nbagschunkyhead: yeah i dont think i will use it. will probably use curl or rsync10:37
gordonjcpmns2: is LXDE still so horribly buggy and unmaintained?10:37
mns2no? why would it be?10:37
vikeshhi10:39
vikeshclear10:40
sebrocknbags: so it seems to work. Now how would I make it so all traffic go through that interface? I cant make a route for everything :P10:41
nbagssebrock: you need to make it the default gateway. but u also need to keep up a route to connect with the vpn server. what vpn software u using?10:42
sebrockL2TP/IPsec so its xl2tpd and openswan10:42
sebrocknbags: thing is I want the regular route to be eth0 directly but then also be able to use ppp0 upon request. I will assign certain services to go through ppp0 only but need to keep the my regular services up aswell.10:45

sebrockbekks: why should the vpn server inhibit this. I could set services to use a certain interface right?10:47
chunkyheadbraxtonplaxco: i had to transfer stuff from my audio player which was dying. i guess it's dead. 0_010:47
sebrockThere is need for all or nothing using vpn10:47
bekkssebrock: Because building a bridge head is disabled by default.10:47

nbagsthen i point bt client to the socks proxy localhost 108010:52
chunkyheadi shouldn't have gone to the bathroom after all braxtonplaxco10:52
braxtonplaxcolol so did you ever try just copying some files from a dir to a tmp with gcp to see if it did what you wanted?10:53
sebrocknbags: thats great. However this is on a headless ubuntu box with Transmission Web Interface. So basically I just HTTP right to the box. No need for external clients. So what I need to do is to route all specific BT traffic I guess?10:53
nimeshhi again10:53
bekksbraxtonplaxco: Err, no. cp and ls are enough. Or bar, or pv.10:53
nimeshdose any one know how to get ati readon 9800 pro drivers for ubuntu10:54
nbagssebrock: well thats why you need the socks proxy. u use a socks proxy server that can select the interface, and the 'ip rule' stuff allows that to happen10:56
nimeshdose any one know how to get ati readon 9800 pro drivers for ubuntu plz10:56
nbagsthe crux is echo external $LOCALIP > /etc/openvpn/3proxy.cfg10:56

Peakericeroot, the ubuntu-bug program runs apport, and the gui disappears, and nothing happens except it leaks the apport zombie process11:32
Peakericeroot, yesterday I managed to access bugs.launchpad.net directly to report the bug, but then it emailed me about confirming my bug, which I can't do, because launchpad.net doesn't load in my browser either, it gets stuck loading until a very long timeout11:33
Peakerif someone can "confirm" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1198556 (I added all the necessary information, no need for more logs) that would at least mean my time wasn't wasted in vain11:35

Gosset_InofensiuHello, I expose my doubt: I have an external HD in NTFS format, I've already stored lots of data, and I want to encrypt all these information, but I'm afraid that I should have create an encrypted volume before storing info in the HD... any suggestions?13:17
bekksGosset_Inofensiu: Backup the data, encrypt the hdd, create an encrypted linux filesystem.13:20
gordonjcpGosset_Inofensiu: if the hard disk is less than half full you might be able to split it into two partitons, encrypt one and copy everything across13:20
gordonjcpGosset_Inofensiu: but as bekks says, you're going to want to back up the disk anyway13:20

valroadieI would just like to ask a general question. When I convert a video using DeVeDe into an .iso to burn to a dvd using Brasero, the movie always turns out to have sound missing every 2-4 minutes or so, it will cut out for like a second but it does it through the whole movie. This happens with multiple movies as well. I was wondering if this is normal?14:59
nimeshhi again15:00
valroadieI use the slowest burning speed and don't do ANYTHING with the computer when it is converting and burning so...any ideas on why it would? Bad hardware maybe? I don't know, I have had bad problems with media on linux anyways, I just wanted some opinions.15:00
nimeshdoes anyone know how to make ubuntu exteramly fast15:00
valroadieNimesh: it is already fast! ;) You could find a a distro with minimal install like puppy linux or something.15:01
nimeshit is fast but i want it faster15:01

jacksHow to add hibernation facility in ubuntu?15:02
Baribal_nimesh, for OS-level tweaks, take a look at a self-compiled distro, but most performance improvements come from better hardware; more RAM, SSD instead of HDD and so on.15:02
kostkonvalroadie, i have done it 3-4 times, imported episodes in devede, (made a custom menu) and then burned the iso with brasero, everything went as normal. i would try with a different dvd writer and maybe with another brand of discs?15:03

nimeshand how to get adb tools15:03
BluesKajvalroadie, devede is hit and miss in my experience , if youi don't mind trying a cli app that works very well and has dedicated supprt on irc try tovid and it's related apps , not foolprof but it's better than anythging i ever tried15:03

o123hallothe packages missing are python-alemibc (for python3) and python-cherrpy (for python3 as well)15:16
bekkso123hallo: Then you have to create that package on your own, or you have to find a PPA for it.15:16

o123halloMackwerk: we want to package it. our programm (openlp) is already in your repos, but we are moving to python3 (and I use Arch Linux btw)15:18

o123halloMackwerk: building and installing alembic is not difficult (just python build ... and python install), I do not know about cherrypy. I just think that pip is easier15:24

ubottupranav1: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI16:00
pranav1I have dual boot in UEFI system. The only 1 that I set up 1st in the boot priority boots. Every time I have to change BIOS. Without it, it says EFI error. Please guide!16:00
pranav1varunendra: my problem is sth else.. I can boot both OSes16:00
pranav1its just that I need to set them 1st in priority16:01

kanliotwhat's the right way to install spotify?16:04
varunendrapranav1, was win8 preinstalled ? Is Ubuntu 64 bit? As far as I know, you can only prioritize boot devices, not OSes in BIOS.16:04

stomanataHi,  i have problems with my cardreader.  If i switch to windows all is OK. Here is dmesg:  http://paste.debian.net/14836/16:06
pranav1varunendra: There are "boot options priorities" in boot section my BIOS. Whatever I set up in option 1 only boots.16:06
yebyensebrock: make sure you add a route to your real local gateway for the IP that hosts your vpn16:06
varunendrapranav1, what are those options? By name..16:07
ActionparsnipStomanata: what is the output of: lsb_release -a; uname -a16:07
pranav1varunendra: the heading is Boot Option Priority16:07
yebyensebrock: then, make the default route your vpn's gw's private address... and delete your old default route16:07
pranav1varunendra: Version 2.15.1226 2012 Americal Megatrends, Inc.16:08
pranav1varunendra: do you know ?16:08
stomanatahere is the output:  http://paste.debian.net/14837/16:08
stomanatamay be i need to install lsb*****16:09
ActionparsnipStomanata: no16:09
varunendrapranav1, yes American Megatrends BIOS is used in Asus boards. But that is not relevant. What are the options that you can set/prioritize to affect boot order?16:09
Actionparsnip Stomanata : that's normal16:09
stomanataok, but it can`t read my sd card16:09
pranav1varunendra: fast boot, launch CSM, Boot option priorities16:10
pranav1and nothing much16:10
Actionparsnip Stomanata : do you log in to lightdm as root or did you sudo  up to root in the terminal?16:10
pranav1varunendra: are the options that exist16:10
zinc1hello, networking question I did a netstat and noticed local address 10.13.2.14:45602 and a foreign address connect to barbadine.canonica:http. just curious why I have an odd local address instead of a .local address16:10
pranav1in the security there is secure menu boot control as well16:10
varunendrapranav1, so what do you set in option 1 to boot win8, and what do you set for ubuntu?16:10
stomanataas user i open termimal, then  su, then root password16:11
yebyensebrock: did it work?  or are you gone because of bad advice16:11
Smaughey all, I am having difficulty connecting to irc on my ubuntu 12.04 desktop (am on windows right now).  I've tried both empathy and kvirc, so I'm thinking it's related to ubuntu and not to a particular software not working.  Should I check some firewall settings or something?  Any thoughts?16:11
varunendrapranav1, you said "Whatever I set up in option 1 only boots." What are those options?16:12
sebrockyebyen: still here. taking a phone call now16:12
ActionparsnipStomanata : ok. You do realise that: sudo -i does the same and you can leave root locked....16:12
ExpertIT<Smaug> reinstall a irc using manager synaptic16:13
pranav1varunendra: I go to my BIOS. And then under the Boot section. I have a list called "boot option priorities". When I put Ubuntu in 1st. Win8 goes to 2nd in the list. And as I said before. Whatever I set in 1st only works. When I try to boot the other. It says me "Invalid DriveMap file, EFI error"16:13
ActionparsnipStomanata : when you last removed the sd card from a system, did you use the safe remove feature in the OS before physically removing it?16:13
pranav1varunendra: huh16:13
yebyensebrock: ok, was concerned that if i told you the wrong thing, you wouldn't be able to report back :)16:13
sebrockyebyen: phone brb :)16:13
ActionparsnipExpertIT: why synaptic?16:13
stomanatayes. always use safe to remove card16:14
stomanataif now i switch to windows it will work.16:14
ActionparsnipStomanata : great :-) What file system do you use on the card?16:14
stomanatammmm. i can`t answer16:15
varunendrapranav1, that is something new for me. I have very little experience with EFI setups. But do you have "Secure Boot" enabled in Windows/BIOS? If so, try turning it off.16:15
stomanatanow after i pull out and push the card16:15
stomanatasystem recognize it :)16:15
SmaugexpertIT, so I should install synaptic first? why is it better than apt-get or the software manager that comes with ubuntu?16:15
ExpertITso it remove all additional packages that are not working and reinstall16:15
ActionparsnipStomanata : ahh cool16:15
stomanataif you need now i can show some other output until it work16:15
Smaugok16:15
pranav1varunendra: i already told you. i tried those hit and trial that are most frequently mentioned in the pages (like 1 you sent)16:16
stomanatabut it`s not good idea to pull in and out card until system recognize it16:16
varunendrapranav1, If secure boot is turned off, and you installed Ubuntu AFTER win8 as recommended on that page, I can't think of a reason for that error to come up. Can't help beyond that. Probably you should try Ubuntu Forums.16:17

NeroonHi there. Does anybody here know a thing or two about wifi?16:25
occthanks varun16:26
varunendranp :)16:26
occneroon just ask your question16:26
NeroonHow do I unblock a hard blocked wifi usb on a desktop pc with linux?16:27
varunendraEstrobeda, I am running Ubuntu 12.04 with Unity on my asus x54c with no difference in battery usage between Win7 and Ubuntu. Make sure you have proper drivers installed.16:27
Estrobedaok, im pretty new on ubuntu i have only used it some days, how do i make sure the proper drivers are installed?16:28
ExpertITi use XFCE in my opinion is more stable than unity16:29
varunendraNeroon, sometimes (miraculously, unexpectedly) "sudo rfkill unblock all" works. But most of the time it is either a hardware switch (Fn key combo, etc.) or BIOS.16:29
cretsiahvarunendra ive got the file but i wont do anything till later today as it is 2am and my baby is likely to be up at 7am so goodnight16:29
varunendragood night cretsiah ! :)16:29
Neroonvarunendra: I know about rfkill, but that doesn't help. Tried it several times, even with different distributions and 3 diff. pcs.16:30
Neroonvarunendra: And my keyboard doesn't have fn keys and I doubt, the pc would even know what to do with them ;-)16:31
varunendraEstrobeda, just check "Additional Drivers" and see if there are any drivers suggested. You can additionally install "powertop" program to check and set recommended settings to save power (sudo apt-get install powertop)16:31
Estrobedaok thank you16:32
varunendraNeroon, oh yeah, I forgot while typing that you mentioned PC ;). Just try resetting BIOS then, if it is not a UEFI setup or there is no other problem doing that.16:32
lunarjarHow to remove the Desktop folder from /home ?16:33

varunendrarainbowwarrior, by default 5% of space is "reserved" for root. That is about 7 GB for your partition. We can reduce it to 1% which would be large enough to serve its purpose.16:47

varunendraocc, found something more about it?16:53
occvarun, thats all i found so far16:53
occwouldnt it be expected that ubuntu should come with drivers for the new high end laptops?16:54
varunendraocc, yeah, that card is only supported by the proprietary driver "wl", whose performance is not guaranteed. If you are choosing from broadcom, see if you can find one that is supported by b43 (won't work out-of-box, but is easy enough)16:56
varunendraocc, broadcom devices have mostly licencing issues. That's all :)16:56
occso broadcom is one of those companies that likes to cripple their products on purpose16:56
occok, the other laptop i was looking at, has the network card: qualcomm atheros ar5bmd222 , would this more likley work with ubuntu out the box? i cant find anything about it online yet16:58
varunendraocc, actually I find troubleshooting broadcoms pretty easy and one or two-step job. Once they work (which is most of times), they are stable too. But yeah, the licensing issue sucks.16:59

mackwerkKitt3n: you mean the bootloader part at the bottom of this picture right? mackwerk.dk/ubuntu.JPG17:51

mustafa_ hi i have installed drupal on my server and i can see the first page but i cant see the other pages or any link it said (The requested URL /node/10 was not found on this server.) please help??17:51
mikubuntuneroon, took hd out, reinserted usb, hit f1 to retry boot = no bootable devices17:52
varunendraHello codemaniac ! Late night party at #ubuntu ? :P17:52
mackwerkKitt3n: I have no idea actually, I think it may be UEFI? It came with windows 8 but I took that harddisk out and put in a new ssd. It's an ASUS Zenbook if you've heard of it'17:52
Neroonmikubuntu: did you hit f12 and select usb or cd?17:52
Kitt3nmackwerk, there's your problem.17:52
minilynpc bios have fuction like f5 key while you press it on boot you can choose directly media to boot on it...17:52
BluesKajmackwerk, W8 has uefi17:52
mikubuntuits already set to boot from usb first neroon17:52
mackwerkKitt3n: But what is the problem?17:52
mustafa_ hi i have installed drupal on my server and i can see the first page but i cant see the other pages or any link it said (The requested URL /node/10 was not found on this server.) please help??17:53
Kitt3nmackwerk, Windows is set to boot before grub in the EFI bios17:53
Neroonmikubuntu: that's a toughie. well, reset the bios then. nothing to lose there17:53
mackwerkKitt3n: So I should have a peek around in the BIOS?17:53
Kitt3nmackwerk, you also most likely installed Ubuntu in BIOS mode.17:53
varunendramikubuntu, don't trust defaults (or what is 'set' in the BIOS). Sometimes the USB flash drive gets recognised as a hdd, sometimes even as a floppy ;)17:53
Kitt3nmackwerk, yes, look in the bios, for anything saying "UEFI: <stuff here>"17:53
BluesKaj!EFI | mackwerk17:53
ubottumackwerk: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS.

mikubuntubios revision A1417:55
Neroonmikubuntu: But have you tried booting cd as well. It might be that it can't boot from usb17:55
mackwerkKitt3n: There's nothing in the BIOS that says anything about UEFI but there is something that's called "Secure boot control" which is disabled17:55
mikubuntuneroon, yes tried cd as well17:55
mustafa_  help please any body  i have installed drupal on my server and i can see the first page but i cant see the other pages or any link it said (The requested URL /node/10 was not found on this server.) please help??17:55
mikubuntuthats why i say its strange that cd, usb, or hdd all not detected17:56
Neroonmikubuntu: it is. Could be a faulty bios17:56
Kitt3nmackwerk, secure boot should not be enabled, look at the boot order.17:57
mackwerkKitt3n: it's disabled, by boot order do you mean the drive options? Cause there is only the big ssd, which has both os'es17:57
matematikaadithow do i check if unity is running or not?17:57
mikubuntuvarunendra: neroon: don't see a bios reset in any of the seven pages of bios17:57
Kitt3nmackwerk, the USB, cd, HDD boot order IN the bios.17:58
varunendramikubuntu, does it have an "Exit" tab?17:58

occok gordon thanks18:04
mikubuntuminilyn so you mean with bios open just press alt and f18:05
minilynmikubuntu: yep18:05
mackwerkKitt3n: I think I found the main problem, when the machine loads the liveusb it says something about using secure boot before showing the grub screen where I can choose to try/install etc...

mikubuntuvarunendra: yes its out18:10
varunendramikubuntu, did you try to find it in BIOS when it was out ;)18:10
Neroonvarunendra: lol18:10
Neroonvarunendra: I dared not to ask that question18:11
mikubuntuneroon varunendra lol stop laughing at me, i've been a newbie since 7.0418:11
Neroonmikubuntu: I didn't laugh at you explicitly ;-)18:11
varunendramikubuntu, lol, on reminding me my old days XD18:11
mikubuntuvarunendra: ok, still not detecting hdd18:13
mikubuntuvarunendra: and still won't boot usb -- i'll try the cd again, but don't have much hope18:14
minilynwhile i'm googleing something about d600 i found that old revision of bios have not usb boot support and they must be upgraded to have usb boot sequence listed....must be confirm18:14
Neroonmikubuntu: and you tried the cd on another laptop/pc as well?18:14
mikubuntuneroon yep18:15
Neroonminilyn: That was what I was thinking. So I suggested the cd boot18:15
minilynyup ..this is only way to get work it18:16
Neroonmikubuntu: Well, I guess I'm out of options and I think it must be a faulty bios18:16
mikubuntuneroon is there any recourse for a faulty bios?18:16
Neroonmikubuntu: only if you could boot from usb/cd/floppy18:17
varunendramikubuntu, mikubuntu does the CD drive show up somewhere in the BIOS?18:17
mikubuntuvarunendra: "device in system modular bay cannot be identified'   arrrrrrrrrrrgggggggh18:17

mikubuntuneroon, for instance -- when the flash drive is attached it18:21
mikubuntu'starts' to blink ... but only a few secs18:22
Neroonmikubuntu: huh...18:22
Neroonmikubuntu: But it doesn't recognize it at all just like usb, cd, hdd?18:23
mikubuntuNeroon: also the light on the cd blinks a few times, then nothing18:23
varunendramikubuntu, it can be the USB drive's own initiation indication.18:23
Neroonmikubuntu: That just shows it got power18:23
mikubuntuneroon, yup18:23
varunendramikubuntu, as a last shot, you may try removing both the batteries (the swappable one, and the one on the motherboard) for a couple of hours.... to make sure the BIOS is actually reset.18:23
mikubuntuvarunendra: i don't think i could mess with the motherboard -- should i just disconnect it a few days from battery and power?18:24
Neroonmikubuntu: well, what do have to lose?18:24
ncpafter installation of newest nvidia driver, i just get blank screen with cursor blinking. Can't ctrl+alt+F1 to consol, anyone know how to fix?18:24
Neroonmikubuntu: no, the internal battery may last weeks18:25
mikubuntuneroon lol18:25
varunendramikubuntu, if the motherboard has a battery, it won't let BIOS reset.18:25
varunendramikubuntu, you may try the netboot thing, but will be of no use if you don't have an internal hdd (or can't detect it !)18:26

mickeydim trying to write to a directory in a program called pgadmin3, however when i try to run 'sudo pgadmin3' it opens the program without prompting me for a root password and I can't get write access to the folder so i can export the file.  how else can i open the program with sudo?19:16
ikoniamickeyd: sudo is the correct way to open it19:16
ikoniamickeyd: is it a graphical program (X11 gui)19:17
mickeydikonia, it is a gui19:17
ikoniamickeyd: ok, as in an X11 application gui ?19:17
mickeydikonia, dont know what an X11 application gui is. I just know the application is a gui and not command line19:18
ikoniamickeyd: ok, so sudo should work, but "gksudo" would be better19:18
mickeydikonia, sudo doesn't work it does say the following in terminal, IBUS-WARNING **: The owner of /home/user/.config/ibus/bus is not root!19:20
ikoniamickeyd: right, because you used "sudo" the first time, rather than "gksudo"19:20
mickeydikonia, i also installed and tried gksudo but after opening it none of the usual settings are in place and I don't see my servers19:20
ikoniamickeyd: delete that file19:20
ikoniamickeyd: yes, because gksudo will read files from the proper location, delete the file in your home dir, and set it up properly using gksudo19:21

ltrottier*own20:33
shamahowilee-nilee: yes <i know it was end of life, I had plenty warning about no more updates - but I just followed instructions20:34
holsteinshamaho: if you are on 10.10, i would suggest a fresh install, and dont let the system get so far out of date this time around.. dealing with the EOL distros can be challenging20:34
wilee-nileeshamaho, Ah, problem here is the variable of whats actually in your sources.list. However none of this fixes your problem, just info.20:35
shamahoholstein: you make it sound like it was my lack of attention but I ve been away from home for a long time20:35
k1lshamaho: there will be no popup, that brings you from 10.10 to 12.10. so you did something manually. as long as you dont tell what you did its very hard to know where the error begins20:35
holsteinshamaho: i meant to imply only that it will be easier going forward to deal with it *before* the EOL.. not implying any fault, nor being combatitive in any way20:36
mirakhow much swap do you use ?20:36
holsteinshamaho: i want to make it sound like a fresh install could be the path of least resistance for you right now20:36
wilee-nilee!who > mirak20:36
ubottumirak, please see my private message20:36
bekksmirak: As much as RAM, since I am using suspend to RAM.20:36
shamahojeeesh a fresh install !?!?20:37
shamahoI mean... I just need to fix the x server20:37
holsteinshamaho: i would be saying "sheesh, upgrading my EOL 10.10?"20:37
holsteinshamaho: if you want support, unfortunately, you'll need to be running a supported version..20:38
bekksshamaho: A fresh install is less work than trying to fix your EOL 10.10 :)20:38
shamahook, how do I fresh install without formatting my existing partition ?20:38
holsteinshamaho: the breakage could be due to the EOL status, and could be a waste of effort on everyone's part.. including yours20:38
shamahoThen, the system should not offer that possibility at all !20:39
holsteinshamaho: you should have your data backedup somewhere else anyway.. before doing anything else20:39
shamahoI mean, does sound rational to offer upgrade then failing then ...20:39
mirakbekks: you use a laptop ?20:39
holsteinshamaho: the system is doing what its designed to do.. but as i said, its challenging to deal with EOL's20:39
bekksmirak: Sure.20:40
shamahoholstein: I know that! and I have that backed up! I somehow knew that this was a high possibility20:40
wilee-nileeshamaho, It would not normally you messed with your sources most likely.20:40
mirakbekks: i have a desktop, and i don't think i ever used suspend to disk20:40
shamahook, I give up20:40
holsteinshamaho: OK.. so, if you have a seperate /home partition.. dont format that one. if you have it all in one partition, that is something you can consider for the future installations20:40
bekksmirak: On my desktop, I am using suspend to RAM, too.20:40
shamahoso how do I do a fresh install keeping my existing data ?20:40
mirakbekks: you have what video card ?20:41
miraki think it worked bad with nvidia20:41
mirakat least for me20:41
bekksshamaho: Backup your data, since at leaset the / partition need to be formatted.20:41
shamahook, separate /home partition, I don't remember anymore, how do I check that out ?20:41
bekksmirak: I am using nvidia only - and it works like a charm.20:41
holsteinshamaho: if you have a seperate /home, dont format that partition.. otherwise, you dont have the system configure to facilitate a reinsatllation without formatting.. but, thats OK since your data is backed up20:41
bekksshamaho: type "mount".20:41
ltrottierCorey: oh. wait. could it be because I have an encrypted home folder?20:42
shamahobekks: then what ? :)20:42
shamaho~I do have a separate line for /home20:42
ltrottierCorey: yes. yes it is. http://superuser.com/questions/61057/ssh-with-authorized-keys-to-an-ubuntu-system-with-encrypted-homedir20:42
bekksshamaho: Then read the output, and answer your question "Do I see a line for /home ?" :)20:43
shamahoyes20:43
mirakbekks: well never mind, i will use a file to hibernate if i need to20:43
shamahook, next step20:43
shamahoholstein: do I really have a choice of choosing not to format /home ?20:43
bekksmirak: Which is just the same, in terms of used space.20:43
bekksshamaho: Yes.20:43
bekksshamaho: You should backup everything nonetheless.20:44
fwaokdaanyone know how i can remove non-ascii characters from a csv file i have?20:44
shamahobekks: I have already done that, thanks20:44
holsteinshamaho: assuming you have a seperate home, you dont format that during the installation.. but, yes, i echo having a backup20:44
mirakbekks: not if decide i don't need hibernate anymore20:44
holsteinshamaho: if you have a backup, then there is no issue20:44
shamahoI knew the upgarde thing was not realiable! I just got confirmation20:44
shamahoI20:44
shamahoalthough I´m sure the upgrade went well safe for the Xserver thing...20:45
wilee-nileeshamaho, You are looking at user errors in dichotomies, and blaming the OS.20:45
bekksmirak: Do we really discuss wether we have 4GB swap? :)20:46
shamahonow thr problem is, I don't have any other PC to write the CDROM with the new Ubuntu image20:46
shamahowilee-nilee: I´m sorry but I dont accept that user-error thing ! that one I dont accept20:46
holsteinshamaho: you can use any live CD? do you still have the 10.10 live cd?20:47
mirakbekks: no, but we can discuss if it's worth using partition if i can use swap file instead20:47
shamahoholstein: yes I must have some lying around20:47
bekksmirak: I am not using partitions, but LVM. :)20:47
mirakbekks: i have LVM on my main system. but for this one i prefer avoid complexicity, that's why i torture my mind, otherwise with LVM it would be a done deal20:48
bekksmirak: LVM is far more easy and flexible than partitions are.20:48
mirakbekks: yes i know ...20:49
mirakbekks: but it feels a bit more risky20:49
bekksmirak: Then why do you want to use more complex partitions? And its just risky if you dont know what you are doing.20:49
mirakbekks: because if use lvm, i want to boot on lvm20:50
miraki don't like having separate boot partition20:50
bekksmirak: And why do you consider thst "risky"?20:50
OerHeks13.04 ubuntu iso supports lvm and lvm encrypted20:50

mirakbekks: i felt at some point there was a performance it20:51

bekksmirak: There are tools available like pen&paper or applications like Evernote :P20:51
mirakbekks: yes, I send mails to myself most of the time :p20:51
bekksmirak: Then your feelings are - weird. In fact, there is no performance difference.20:51
bekksmirak: Take a stop watch, and benchmark it :)20:52
mirakbekks: it's just that this computer is for my parents20:52
bekksmirak: And why do you expect them to suddenly mess around with LVM?20:52
mirakbekks: on mine I have gpt+mdadm raid1 + lvm20:52
shamahooops, I got it wrong it was not from 10.10 to 12.10 but from 11.10 to 12.1020:52
holsteinask the users what they want, or try and predict what might be best or easiest for them20:52
shamahoso not that big of a jump now was it ?20:53
mirakbekks: I don't20:53
bekksmirak: Then use the "default" installation way: /boot partition + LVM.20:53
mirakbekks: i just feel it's easier to recover datas from a broken partition than a broken lvm20:53
holsteinshamaho: i would still fresh install, unless you want to go to 12.04, the LTS, and sit there for longer20:53
bekksmirak: Everything else increases complexity and raises risk of breaking it for your parents.20:53
mirakbekks: i don't like /boot partition20:53
bekksmirak: You dont need to like it, just use. Its the default way, considered to be the most easy way.20:54
mirakbekks: i feel it defies the purpose20:54

shamahoSo I have a liveCD with 11.10  - how can I upgrade to the latest version ?20:55
xangua!eol | shamaho20:55
ubottushamaho: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades20:55
mirakbekks: but you are not entirely wrong. or right. I just can't make up my mind20:55
shamahoor could anyone attempt helping me reset the X server config ?20:55
bekksmirak: You're feelings are pretty weird. If you dont want to hear the answers you get, well, I'll just stop answering.20:55
holsteinshamaho: i would download the latest version and install it.. anything else will take a while20:55
mirakbekks: thanks for your input. I am tempted by lvm anyway20:55
k1lshamaho: you need to do every upgrade. its way easier tog et a fresh iso and install with that20:55
holsteinshamaho: you might want to consider installing 12.04. .its the LTS.. supported for 5 years20:55
shamahoyes I might20:56
mirakbekks: no i hear them, it's just i am sure i don't want a separate /boot. especially because i will dual boot, so it means two /boot, and that's ugly. And if I want to create another install with tripple boot, then i can't create a new /boot .20:56
bekksmirak: Two different Linuxes for your parents?20:57
bekksmirak: Now you are introducing complexity.20:57
mirakbekks: i like to do that for upgrades20:57
holsteinshamaho: for me, an upgrade, from one version to the next, best case can take a few hours.. maybe more like 5 or so.. i can fresh install in like 12 minutes20:57
shamahoI shudder to think doing a fresh install to my mums 11.1020:57
mirakbekks: i have a os I use, and another one sleeping, for going back in case of problem20:57
bekksmirak: Thats pointless. Never heard of such a complex, pointless setup for someone who isnt even interested in doing things like that. I bet your parents just want to use their computer.20:58
holsteinshamaho: you need to do those upgrades *before* the EOL, ideally20:58
mirakbekks: because like 99% of the time something wrong happens when doing an upgrade20:58
bekksmirak: I have a live CD, in case of breakage.20:58

holsteinshamaho: i shudder to think of your mum trying to install something, and getting the repo warnings.. or something worse security related20:58
bekksmirak: Get a live cd, forget about dualbooting, use /boot + LVM, done.20:59
holsteinshamaho: my mom is on 12.0420:59
mirakbekks: no that's not true. for instance i could have upgraded to 1020:59
bekksmirak: To 10 what?20:59
mirakbekks: upgraded to last ubuntu version, then realised you can't use unity without Composite extension.20:59
mirakbekks: the problem beeing that composite extension works really bad with vdpau, and create tearing on video playback21:00
bekksmirak: last version is 13.0421:00
bekksmirak: Not "10".21:00
mirakbekks: and makes the installation unusable for home cinema usage.21:00
holsteini think "10" refers to 13.10...21:00
holsteinmirak: you tried something like XFCE?21:01
mirakholstein: no it's a typo. I wanted to tell 13.421:01
Coreymirak: Documenting with emails to yourself is insanity. :-) I use Evernote for that, and forward those mails to the evernote submission address tied to my account.21:01

mirakAri-Yang: one of them is having Unity+Vdpau working flowlessly with low cpu consumption and no tearing.21:18
bekksGooose: You would have to clone your drive, by booting a live cd, and run clonezilla, e.g.21:18
Ari-Yangmirak, so you get tearing with vdpau?... what player are you using? mplayer?21:18

Ari-Yangmirak, do you have any other player installed? if you do and if it has a vdpaur output, can you try playing something with it to see if you get tearing on that player?21:22

neroPurdy, any luck on that?22:05
neromatematikaadit: allright! So thats unity 3D.22:05
thecodethinkerWhen I close my laptop lid, ubuntu sleeps for a fraction of a second, then wakes up... why?22:06
Bilthecodethinker did you open your lid?22:06
ActionparsnipThecodethinker: which release?  What make and model system?22:06
thecodethinkerBil: lolno22:06
thecodethinkerActionparsnip: 13.04, thinkpad e53122:06
ActionparsnipThecodethinker: do you have the latest BIOS?22:07
thecodethinkerIt used to sleep just fine... now it doesn't and I never touched the power system settings22:07
thecodethinkerActionparsnip: not sure... but I doubt it's that... like I said, it used to work fine22:07
matematikaaditnero: and, how to know that unity was running? since I can't see the top-bar and launcher.22:08
ActionparsnipThecodethinker : worth checking22:08
Bilthecodethinker check your apt log for recently updated packages and post to pastebin22:08
thecodethinkerActionparsnip: yep it's the latest22:08
thecodethinkerBil: http://sprunge.us/TWgJ22:09

TradeFortress connect: Network is unreachable  -- i need to start networking?22:45
Ghostx562nero, actionparsnip, using unetbootin to recreate. the installer said one file got corrupt so maybe i unplugged usb too soon?22:45
Biltradefortress if you had to manually mount it and you mounted it manually then yeah the disk is fine. Im a Gento/RedHat man so just pointer . Id try booting on a older kernel. It sounds like maybe an upstart issue? To me sounds like (udev?) hasnt given the boot loader enough time22:46
neroghostx562 yeah. try using unetbootin ! or pendrivelinux should do.22:46

checoimgtoo few computers certified23:09
Bilmurrayuk type which curl in your term. Im pretty sure its installed by default.23:10
Guest38882fortress this is what i am talking about... less detal is more23:10
Guest38882COMMUNITY SIP TCP/IP message flooding directed to SIP proxy23:10
Guest38882that is from snort23:10
Bilnever trust plain text !23:11
Guest38882nah but pcaps back it up... agree %10023:11
MurrayUK_I have no idea what curl it is. this was what I'm getting when trying to install things from the ubuntu software center and terminal 'xxxx depends on curl; however:   Package curl is not installed.'23:11
Guest38882that is why i said to watch paload matches size in header23:11
Bilyou would be suprised at howmany hops your packets go through at times. How many of those hops could be compromised.23:11
Guest38882yeh its scary23:12
Guest38882we are built on infrstructure that has no auth23:12
Guest38882DNS especially since it is so traveled23:12
Homie20006Actionparsnip: sry wasn't telling you its a server ^^23:12
BilThat said on a public server your already going through what should be a untrusted network. If Im on the same switch as you at a server provider I can sniff your plain text traffic and encrypted (just cant crack it.... yet)23:13
Guest38882yeh ssl can be downgraded or certs can now be formed based on client side23:14
Bil10248 is cracked iirc so thats what google still use and Ive heard some other providers use less23:14
Guest38882cool stuff if u know what ur doin23:14
Guest38882not a big sslstrip scriptkiddie type23:14
MurrayUK_anyone know how to fix my problem23:15
Guest38882look up ssl-split  I think they are actually working with duplicating real certs23:15
Guest38882I wish I could sorry23:15
Bilguest if that was aimed at me ont get me started on the hacker v cracker debate.23:16
Guest38882no no not at all23:16
Guest38882i am far from anything like that.... knowlege is key23:17
Bilit so is and time23:17
Ghostx562looks like i need a cd drive for ubuntu server to install23:17
MurrayUK_'E: Package 'curl' has no installation candidate' this is all I get every time I try what commands people say on google23:17
Guest38882I learned everything by hand... and im sure if ur in a *nix room most of us have the same mentality23:17
Bilghostx562 you doing a remote headless install over rkvm?23:18
Ghostx562usb intall?23:18
Bilok nvm23:18
Guest38882yups !23:18
Bilmurrayuk what happpens if you try and curl a url?23:19
Guest38882their are a few lightweight heads to use also so you can not interfere with core dependancies... if u do dev work23:19
=== p is now known as Guest87593
Bilguest thats the right mentality and what open source spreads and gives to the world. We would be screwed if MS or Apple controlled the development.23:21
MurrayUK_This is what I get - The program 'curl' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing: sudo apt-get install curl23:21
Guest38882oh hell yeh !!!!!!!!123:21
Bilmurrayuk whats dpkg --list | grep -i curl show?23:22
Guest38882the only way we keep afloat is by people that beleive that.... and people that contribute aswell (just a thanx in there)23:22
geniiIt would obviously show not installed, given the last message23:22
Bilgenii have you ever done tech support?23:22
MurrayUK_it shows this http://pastebin.com/00dB7Gtb23:23
WMipv6Hi all, I am installing ubuntu server to install devstack or openstack on it, which gui would you sugest?23:23

MurrayUK_I put it up there, here is it again. http://pastebin.com/00dB7Gtb23:28
Guest38882night all....23:28
geniiMurrayUK_: What is the expected end result of these commands people are saying to use on google?23:28
MurrayUK_to install curl23:29
Bilmurrayuk you have the latest version from the UIbuntu repo. You will need to build your owndeb, compile from source or use a PPa23:29
MurrayUK_I'm guessing you need to know what you are doing with linux a bit to do most of them?23:30
geniiMurrayUK_: It seems as if the commands they are giving use the "curl" command. But what is it this command is supposed to be doing after you put in what they are giving you, in which context are you trying to use it, etc? To pull down some data from a site or something? Itf we knew what you are trying to accomplish in the first place it helps us to help you.23:31
Bilgenii your wrong ii shows its already installed. Its not a package missing dep its a version dep23:32
MurrayUK_So say I'm trying to install steam, right? I run 'sudo dpkg -i steam_latest.deb' and it unpacks it and then says 'steam-launcher depends on curl; however:   Package curl is not installed.'23:32
geniiMurrayUK_: Are you mixing The Precise and Quantal repositories again?23:33
Bilmurrayuk steam is propriastry and released as a compiled binary, so there are going to be conflicts, only steam can fix them though23:33
MurrayUK_I don't know really, I just downloaded ubuntu and installed it now.23:34
MurrayUK_I'm guessing I downloaded the wrong version?23:34
Bilmurrayuk not sure which Ubuntu your running and not that familiar with steam on Ubuntu but if your not using LTS dont expect steam t work23:35
MurrayUK_ah okay. So do I need to do a full reinstall? I'm guessing there is no downgrade option23:36
occdoes anyone know if ubuntu works out the box with the wifi card; atheros ar9485wb-eg ? i looked around but cant find anything solid23:36

MurrayUK_installing*23:40
BilLinux doesent suffer the probs it had with drivers like it used to. Pretty much anything works these days23:40
Bilmurrayuk sounds like your repo config is screwed , maybe you have a bad/corrupted/dody 3rd party repo enabled23:41
MurrayUK_is there a way of checking that?23:42
Bilyeah the logs in /var/log apart from that no23:43
MurrayUK_I think I'll just do a reinstall using the LTS version this time. Thanks for all the help, much appreciated :)23:44

nerodatakid Now thats Bil! :P Lets cut the crap :P23:56
Bilnero very good question we hav e a new networks engineer we have sex change suspicions about . The only way is to hack HR but if your the department that (yuk) sets up the AD creds you have everything you need :)23:56
