| histo | krabador: what is the issue they are experiencing? | 00:00 |
| krabador | histo, black screen | 00:00 |
| krabador | histo, i told him to use the alternate | 00:00 |
| krabador | histo, but i don't find it in cdimage | 00:00 |
| histo | krabador: 12.04.2 has alternate | 00:00 |
| histo | krabador: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads | 00:01 |
| krabador | histo, if he runs the mini iso, he must configure the lan manually | 00:02 |
| krabador | or it have dhcp inside? | 00:02 |
| iceroot | krabador: it has dhcp | 00:03 |
| histo | krabador: It will dhcp. | 00:04 |
| krabador | ok | 00:04 |
| histo | krabador: cdimage is all disorganized from what I can see | 00:04 |
| krabador | yes | 00:04 |
| krabador | some day ago i look inside the alternates | 00:04 |
| krabador | and others | 00:04 |
| varunendra | krabador, iirc, the alternate iso has been removed since 13.04 | 00:05 |
| histo | At least logically from what I see all the arm stuff is where the other variants should be etc.. | 00:05 |
| krabador | varunendra, oh, yes i looked for lubuntu | 00:06 |
| krabador | ok,in netboot folder, on cdimage, i look mini.iso, if i tell to the user to run it, it wuold run a line command, complete installare, or he must download ubuntu-installerm and run it someway inside mini.iso? | 00:09 |
| varunendra | krabador, no idea about the mini iso, but if you think the alternate may help, trying the lubuntu one would be a good idea. If it succeeds, you may just install the "ubuntu-desktop" metapackage then. | 00:11 |
| krabador | varunendra, ok | 00:12 |
| === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ | ||
| histo | Yeah I don't get cdimage.ubuntu.com organization of images. For instance where the hell is ubuntu-13.04-desktop-i386.iso | 00:12 |
| sporkeee | krabador, The mini is a net install, it will install the base and whatever desktop is chosen, it will if prompted install many things big choices. | 00:14 |
| krabador | sporkeee, great, it's what i neet to know | 00:14 |
| Maroloccio_ | Is there an online list of popular packages? | 00:14 |
| histo | Maroloccio_: I believe in the software center you can view that information | 00:14 |

| dreadiscool | Hi guys | 00:22 |
| dreadiscool | I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem that I've been struggling with for the past 3 hours | 00:22 |
| dreadiscool | I have a directory in /var/www called screenshots | 00:22 |
| dreadiscool | However, I upload files there through a seperate user named 'screenshots' | 00:23 |
| dreadiscool | Normally, apache has access to everything in /var/www, but I guess since files are being uploaded through a different user, apache no longer has permission to access the file | 00:23 |
| dreadiscool | How can I set up the file permission system so that apache has access to all files in /var/www/screenshots/ ? | 00:23 |
| dreadiscool | I already tried setting the folder file permissions to chmod 0777, but that didn't work | 00:24 |
| dreadiscool | I also tried adding the user 'screenshot' to the group www-data, but that also didn't fix the problem | 00:24 |
| marcoceppi | I'm getting Segmentation Fault whenever I run `ls -lah` but not with any other command `ls` works fine | 00:25 |
| dreadiscool | What other options are available to me to get this to work? | 00:26 |
| varunendra | dreadiscool, I have no experience with apache, but which user the accessing program (apache?) is running as? Try adding that user to the uploading user's group instead. | 00:30 |
| dreadiscool | I am a complete noob to ubuntu's file permission system | 00:30 |
| dreadiscool | You can add users to users in ubuntu? | 00:31 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: what's your problem with apache? | 00:31 |
| dreadiscool | [Tue Jul 09 00:59:08 2013] [error] [client <ip here>] (13)Permission denied: file permissions deny server access: /var/www/screenshot/20130708225859585.png | 00:31 |
| dreadiscool | I have a directory called screenshots in /var/www | 00:31 |
| dreadiscool | Normally, apache is allowed access in there | 00:32 |
| varunendra | dreadiscool, usually new users have their own group. You can check for user "uploader" with - "groups uploader" | 00:32 |
| dreadiscool | But, I upload files to there through FTP through a seperate user other than root, and now, apache doesn't have access to the files that are uploaded through this secondary user | 00:32 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: can you pastebin `ls -lah /var/ww/screenshot` | 00:32 |
| dreadiscool | Allright, let me connect to the server again | 00:33 |
| === unformat is now known as checoimg | ||
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| dreadiscool | http://pastie.org/8122856 | 00:34 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: so the ownerships is fine, the problem is those screenshots have literally no premissions | 00:35 |
| dreadiscool | How would I set it so that apache has access to them then? | 00:35 |
| dreadiscool | Thanks for your help btw, I appreciate it | 00:35 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: try running `find /var/www/screenshot -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} \;` that will find all of the "files" in the /var/www/screenshot directory and make them 644 (rw-r--r--) | 00:36 |
| dreadiscool | What about newer files that I upload via the user 'screenshot'? | 00:36 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: What program are you using to upload? | 00:36 |
| dreadiscool | I have that separate user set up because I'm using Hyperdesktop to upload screenshots | 00:36 |
| marcoceppi | So, that program isn't setting the permissions properly then. Either configure the program to properly set permissions (if possible) or you can set that command to run as a cron every min. The former would be the preferable way, the latter is a workaround if the software doesn't allow you to. Ultimately it's on the software to properly set permissions | 00:38 |
| histo | marcoceppi: isn't apache creating the files? | 00:40 |
| histo | marcoceppi: also fin /var/www/screenshot -type f -exec chmod 0644 {} + would probably be faster | 00:40 |
| histo | s/fin/find/ | 00:40 |
| Cetrian | Hi all, what's a good way to add NTFS support to Ubuntu so I can read from some of these old Windows Server drives and eventually move my data to a better file system ;) | 00:40 |
| dreadiscool | Well | 00:41 |
| dreadiscool | I'm using vfsftp or something as my ftp server | 00:41 |
| sporkeee | Cetrian, ubuntu should read them. | 00:41 |
| dreadiscool | To upload those files | 00:41 |
| marcoceppi | histo: Not nessisarily, though possible. I've not used the program so I can't say. But based on what dreadiscool said, it looks like the program is 'uploading' them and and via FTP | 00:41 |
| dreadiscool | How would I set that up? | 00:41 |
| varunendra | nice permissions Cetrian the best way is to leave things as they are. Ubuntu already has support for ntfs. | 00:41 |
| dreadiscool | Yeah, the exact name is vsftpd | 00:42 |
| dreadiscool | That's my ftp software, since hyperdesktop doesn't support sftp | 00:42 |
| dreadiscool | Or just ssh | 00:42 |
| histo | dreadiscool: so then vsftpd is setting the file permissions | 00:42 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: can you pastebin /etc/vsftpd.conf ? | 00:42 |
| dreadiscool | Sure | 00:42 |
| Cetrian | hmm thanks guys - interesting it's not reading my drives then | 00:43 |
| marcoceppi | I vaguely remember having this issue when I configured vsftpd a while back | 00:43 |
| Cetrian | they were formerly FlexRAID drives so who knows.... | 00:43 |
| marcoceppi | Cetrian: is it an external drive? | 00:43 |
| Cetrian | Trying to decide if I should stick with FlexRAID or go another route now that I'm on Ubuntu. | 00:43 |
| dreadiscool | http://pastie.org/8122872 | 00:44 |
| marcoceppi | Cetrian: it looks like FlexRAID has linux support, but it's not native. You'll have to install and follow the directions on their site | 00:44 |
| Cetrian | right… these drives are NTFS, but I'm getting an "unable to mount" error from Ubuntu | 00:44 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: change local_umask to 0022 | 00:45 |
| dreadiscool | Does vsftpd have an option to set file permissions then? | 00:45 |
| james41382 | My whole library is gone. | 00:45 |
| dreadiscool | 022 or 0022? | 00:45 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: yes, that's what the local_umask option does, histo was correct :) | 00:45 |
| dreadiscool | Because it says in the line above it 022 is the most common for ftp | 00:45 |
| james41382 | I imported my itunes library off my windows partition into rhythm box, but it didn't get everything so I deleted it to try again. | 00:45 |
| james41382 | But now all my music is gone. | 00:45 |
| marcoceppi | dreadiscool: either will work. the forward 0 is a bit overkill, it's just clearing any special bits | 00:45 |
| james41382 | Does anyone know when you import into rhythmbox does it move or copy the music? | 00:45 |
| dreadiscool | It worked!! | 00:46 |
| dreadiscool | Thanks guys! | 00:46 |
| noideas | is it possible to create a software raid in ubuntu 12.04 server with 2 newly installed harddrives | 00:47 |
| dreadiscool | <3 you guys | 00:47 |
| james41382 | Anyone? | 00:48 |
| varunendra | Cetrian, if there are remnants of raid metadata, it may cause troubles. To remove it - "sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/name_of_your_disk" | 00:48 |
| james41382 | and I recently formatted my backup... for i don't know why reason. | 00:48 |
| james41382 | now all my music is gone. | 00:48 |
| james41382 | i'm so mad! | 00:48 |
| Cetrian | thanks varun - I am not sure I want to do that yet. FlexRAID uses some weird stuff in Windows… I'm going to try to install Linux FlexRAID and see if it can read the drives | 00:48 |
| Cetrian | but it's delivered as a .bin - reading how to install that now (noob here) | 00:49 |
| varunendra | Cetrian, usually - "./<whatever>.bin" or "sh ./<whatever>.bin" with sudo if required. | 00:50 |

| blckpythn | Has anyone here made a live iso boot from PXE? | 01:35 |
| Kion | 32 | 01:36 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, only Slax, not Ubuntu :P | 01:36 |
| blckpythn | varunendra: is PXELinux the defacto for all linux distributions that don't have their own solution built in? | 01:37 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, it's used often, but I can't say if it's de-facto. | 01:38 |
| thurstylark | does anyone know how to get the Blue Snowball working well with Jack? | 01:38 |
| blckpythn | varunendra: any recommendations for a first time linux based PXE server? | 01:39 |
| varunendra | nope, I didn't use it myself. The slax iso has its own pxe boot option. | 01:40 |
| blckpythn | varunendra: The live image allowed machines to boot to it? | 01:42 |
| === master is now known as Guest62906 | ||
| varunendra | blckpythn, the slax iso - Yes. | 01:42 |
| Guest62906 | hi, | 01:43 |
| blckpythn | varunendra: so... how did your end devices know to boot to your iso? | 01:43 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, some routers/switches do have problems with dhcp though. You may have to turn it off if it is enabled in the router. | 01:43 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, the target device has just to be set to boot from LAN, that's all | 01:44 |
| blckpythn | varunendra: I see... so your iso was also your only real dhcp server at the time of boot. That makes sense. | 01:44 |
| varunendra | I use it often to recover files from old laptops that can't boot from usb and optical drive is busted. | 01:44 |
| varunendra | yes. | 01:44 |
| blckpythn | This is sort of a commercial environment where I have windows servers that I configure PXE and boot image options in dhcp for, so the iso idea didn't make sense at first. | 01:45 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, iirc, the pxe configuration has the option to use existing dhcp. But it's usually better to configure your own, and temporarily turn the one in the router off. | 01:46 |
| === comrad is now known as comradzilla | ||
| blckpythn | Sure, which would work fine except when the IP changes because it is a live image, that's the only hiccup I foresee | 01:47 |
| === xangua1 is now known as xangua | ||
| === Trel is now known as Trel|errands | ||
| varunendra | blckpythn, a very crude and probably silly workaround maybe to look into options with clonezilla. It gives the option to change network configuration on each client it is "Restoring" an image on. | 01:49 |
| varunendra | automatically | 01:49 |
| blckpythn | varunendra, I have been looking at clonezilla, but configuring the server side of it does feel crude. But it wasn't the client IP I was wondering about, rather the boot to a PXE server whose IP might change because is a live image... | 01:50 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, I don't see a problem with server's IP, there is no configuration to be done on the clients except setting them to boot from LAN. Am I missing a point here? | 01:52 |
| blckpythn | Yeah, if you have a third party dhcp server, it has to point to your PXE server for you, pointing to a live image would be the problem | 01:53 |
| thurstylark | does anyone know how to get the Blue Snowball working well with Jack? | 01:53 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, yes that may be a problem in using third party dhcp. But then you can always manually assign/change IP of the server. :) | 01:55 |
| zimzum_ | hi, does anyone know how to increase the window border size in Xubuntu/Xfce? | 01:56 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, if all or most of the machines on the network are identical, I find clonezilla to be an ideal solution. | 01:56 |
| zimzum_ | it's so small that I have a hard time resizing windows | 01:56 |
| blckpythn | varunendra, that's the problem, they really aren't, lots of refurbished machines and such....non-profit sector sysadmin here. | 01:58 |
| XenoMod | hello all | 01:58 |
| ChrisF- | If I want to make an admin area of my site, should I just make an admincontroller.php and then use a route filter? | 02:00 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, that still shouldn't be a problem unless you have installed any proprietary driver on the source image. | 02:01 |
| varunendra | but yes, you will need to do some extra work on the clients afterwards blckpythn | 02:02 |
| blckpythn | varunendra, I tried FOG, which has a lot of great features, but I could never get the non-fixed(see: identical hardware) images to work at all. | 02:04 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, I feel lucky to have never faced that issue then ;) | 02:05 |
| blckpythn | varunendra, yeah....1200+ machines, divided into 20+ windows domains does not make for consistency...oh how I wish | 02:06 |
| varunendra | blckpythn, that's huge ! :-o | 02:08 |
| varunendra | I've only worked with 34 machines at most.. !! | 02:08 |
| blckpythn | varunendra: I've got 5 other sysadmins who share the load, but it falls on two of us to for most of the tier 2 and above work... 34 machines would be a breeze | 02:09 |

| Phy | Greetings. I had one 150 gb folder with files. When i installed the system, unwittingly it becomes a swap partition. Can I access the folder and take my stuffs back? Where is it? | 03:28 |
| Phy | I mean, just open the actual swap folder? | 03:28 |
| Phy | And see what happens there.. | 03:29 |
| Phy | Anybody? | 03:30 |
| Sidzee1 | sjd_zeus: root account is bad.. | 03:30 |
| Sidzee1 | yes Phy, ask your question | 03:30 |
| Phy | Sidzeel, I had one 150 gb folder with files. When i installed the system, unwittingly it becomes a swap partition. Can I access the folder and take my stuffs back? Where is it? | 03:31 |
| Sidzee1 | well, it's difficult situation | 03:32 |
| Sidzee1 | you could recover some files, probably all, we canno't know before testing but stop writing on your pc to stop damages | 03:33 |
| Phy | Ok.. How can I start? | 03:33 |
| Phy | I had a look and didn't find anything.. | 03:34 |
| Diamondcite | There is an app known as testdisk, assuming it wasn't activated, swap wise, a liveUSB or liveCD might be able to see the files that used to be there? | 03:34 |
| Diamondcite | But please don't use the PC with the 150GB in question to look things up | 03:34 |
| Diamondcite | As it will turn bad real quick if you do | 03:35 |
| Sidzee1 | the best thing to do is, download a livecd with test disk ( you can download it from depot without livecd, directly using your computer but it's not recommanded or using a livecd as Ubuntu Rescue Remix ) so, burn it and start from the cd/dvd and start the recover | 03:35 |
| Phy | But, I'm on right now.. | 03:35 |
| Sidzee1 | but you will have a lot of unsorted files and it could a lot a lot a lot of time to sorted, search which files you have very need ... and the test take longtime | 03:37 |
| Sidzee1 | ( sorry about bad english ... ) | 03:37 |
| varunendra | phy, the first (immediate) thing to do is - "sudo swapoff -a" | 03:37 |
| Phy | Sidzee1: Can I do it from an ordinary Live cd? Like ubuntu | 03:37 |
| Phy | varunendra: ok. | 03:37 |
| varunendra | phy let us know when you have done it successfully. | 03:38 |
| Sidzee1 | Phy, well yes I think you can but probably need internet access to download the necessary package | 03:38 |
| Phy | I turned the swap off with gparted.. | 03:39 |
| Sidzee1 | as varunendra say, the first thing to do is stop to write on the disk | 03:39 |
| Diamondcite | You really made a 150GB SWAP!?/ | 03:39 |
| varunendra | phy, do you have an internet connection available? | 03:39 |
| Diamondcite | Or did the swap happen to run through part of it? | 03:39 |
| Phy | yes. | 03:39 |
| Phy | I'm connected. | 03:40 |
| varunendra | phy, how much RAM do you have? | 03:40 |
| Phy | 5.50 ~ 6 | 03:40 |
| varunendra | good | 03:40 |
| varunendra | now install testdisk - "sudo apt-get install testdisk" | 03:41 |
| varunendra | phy, whether you use a live cd/usb or the installed system for recovery, do remember to turn off the swap (at least the partition in question) to avoid writing on it. | 03:42 |
| Phy | varunendra: I'm using the system installed. Can we proceed? | 03:43 |
| varunendra | phy, as long as you don't need to use the swap. | 03:43 |
| Phy | ok. installing the package. | 03:43 |
| varunendra | Phy, show us the pastebin link of - "parted -l | pastebinit" | 03:44 |
| Phy | ok. | 03:45 |
| Phy | just a second please.... | 03:47 |
| Campfire | just a minute | 03:48 |
| Campfire | i need some code | 03:50 |

| papertigers | Anyone know how to test memory on a system with uefi since memtest86+ doesn't work anymore? | 03:52 |
| Campfire | uefi | 03:53 |
| Campfire | whats that | 03:53 |
| Campfire | if you don,t mind typing | 03:54 |
| varunendra | papertigers, don't know about such an issue, but can't you just temporary turn off uefi while trying memtest? | 03:54 |
| === Guest29001 is now known as zephyr28 | ||

| Campfire | or reflash your firmware on pc router modem etc | 03:55 |
| Campfire | whats the worst virus anyone has had | 03:56 |
| Campfire | i,m cloned | 03:56 |
| Campfire | m in the m | 03:56 |
| varunendra | Phy, okay, so you indeed have a 161 GB swap :P | 03:57 |
| daptordarattler | I still cant fix the background problem with my ubuntu 13.04. Does anyone have a permanent fix? | 03:57 |
| thesheff17 | all of a sudden in the last month my ctrl key goes in and out....its not a hardware issue because it works fine on the windows side...anyone have any idea...its driving me crazy | 03:57 |
| ghs | How to fix my /etc/host to my machine accept connections ? | 03:57 |
| varunendra | Phy, you may try this guide to use testdisk to try recovering the original partition, or at least remaining files : http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk_Step_By_Step | 03:57 |
| Campfire | //pc says time to upgrade | 03:58 |
| Campfire | wow | 03:58 |
| daptordarattler | ghs: the configuration depends on what server you want to connect to | 03:58 |
| varunendra | phy, you need to remember NOT to use swap if you reboot or use a different media to recover the files. | 03:58 |
| Phy | varunendra: heh.. ok. I'm seein' I come back to tell you. Thank you. | 03:58 |
| Campfire | my irc has been saying this all day whats the prob | 03:58 |
| varunendra | Phy, please also do -- | 03:59 |
| Campfire | hows it feel to be g | 04:00 |
| varunendra | Phy, sudo sed -i 's/.* swap .*/# &/' /etc/fstab | 04:00 |
| Campfire | o | 04:00 |
| Campfire | d | 04:00 |
| wheatthin | unless you have a randisk which stores info after reboot | 04:00 |
| ghs | daptordarattler, I have a RMI Java in my server listen at port 1099. However, when I try connect, give the following error: Connection refused to host | 04:00 |
| Phy | varunendra: * ? | 04:00 |
| Phy | varunendra: dev/sda6/ | 04:00 |
| Phy | ? | 04:00 |
| wheatthin | gha, are you behind a router too? is that also unblocked? | 04:00 |
| varunendra | Phy, the above command will comment out the fstab line that makes swap partition(s) load at startup | 04:00 |
| Campfire | whats a good channal we can talk about anything but personal stuff | 04:00 |
| daptordarattler | ghs : I take it ur connecting from somewhere in your network and you have pinged the machine to confirm that its accessible on the server? | 04:01 |
| Phy | ok | 04:01 |
| Campfire | just pc stuff | 04:01 |
| varunendra | Phy, if you need to see the effect of that command.. | 04:01 |
| varunendra | do - "cat /etc/fstab | sed 's:.* swap .*:# &:'" | 04:01 |
| wheatthin | hmm when I go to install ubuntu 12.04.2 in vmware, it shows up multiple desktops right next to each other ;/ | 04:02 |
| varunendra | Phy, but you will have to manually turn off the swap if you boot from a different installation or live media. Hope you won't need it though.. | 04:03 |
| ghs | daptordarattler, yes. | 04:03 |
| Cyanide | I'm trying to update Ubuntu but I'm getting a 404 on the packages it's trying to fetch | 04:03 |
| Cyanide | Anyone know what could be causing it? I also can't download software from the software center | 04:03 |
| varunendra | wheatthin, are you sure it is not a messed up graphics showing overlapping desktops/items ? | 04:03 |
| Phy | I'm not having success with the intructions in the page. | 04:04 |
| Campfire | i think 7 vm,s ar runing at once what should i do | 04:04 |
| wheatthin | varunendra, nope~! I cannot confirm nor deny | 04:04 |
| varunendra | Phy, do a deeper search with the partition | 04:04 |
| daptordarattler | ghs: Hmmmmm..... You need to configure the RMI server to listen on 0.0.0.0:1099 | 04:04 |
| Campfire | whats a good deep search method | 04:05 |
| Campfire | for partitions | 04:05 |
| varunendra | Phy, you may also try photorec (included in testdisk package), but it won't restore directory structure/filenames : http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec_Step_By_Step | 04:05 |
| daptordarattler | ghs: cos hosts configuration is mainly for domain name resolution and direct ip injection on a small network. On larger networks the router or switch handles this so it should be accessible remotely via the ip | 04:06 |

| varunendra | Phy, at the end of the search, you will have the option to write the found partition layout to the disk (if the older one was found). But I'd recommend to just save your files/folders using the "P" option that appears after deeper search (refer to the step-by-step) | 04:26 |
| Phy | sigans: Sim. | 04:27 |
| den | So, on ubuntu 13.04 on Gnome 3 | 04:27 |

| den | wheatthin Oh, I did :) I like the Gnome 3 default | 04:29 |
| wheatthin | including using extensions n stuff | 04:29 |
| varunendra | Phy, the whole operation (until you choose to "Write" the found partition layout) is read-only. You can always return without saving anything. | 04:29 |
| Seven_Six_Two | lol. I think I just installed a new font. Everything on the screen looks different now. | 04:29 |

| den | Excuse my ignorance on that one | 04:31 |
| varunendra | Phy, keep "sudo photorec" next in the list of your options if this doesn't work. Alternatively you may go for some commercial application if you trust one (although I've personally found testdisk/photorec to be the best). | 04:31 |
| Phy | varunendra: Ok. I appreciate your patience and help. I neither use ubuntu, but, its transferable, so.. I like to be here. | 04:32 |

Also looked at the swap using `free -m` and it shows even swap consumes about couple | 04:35 |

| makara | hi. In Nautilus, how can I disable—what I can only describe as the 'statusbar'. It jumps out of the way of the mouse, but with long filenames it has nowhere to go, and it obscures the last file in the list. | 04:48 |

| wheatthin | btw varunendra installing vmware tools fixed the whole desktop mirror thingy | 04:58 |
| varunendra | wheatthin, why are the obvious fixes ignored sometimes ;) lol !! | 05:00 |
| wheatthin | varunendra, well in the default installation process, it gets stuck on trying to install, when the installer I guess had prompts in which halted the procedure | 05:00 |
| wheatthin | for vmware-tools.. | 05:00 |
| varunendra | wheatthin, I was expecting only a small, low resolution graphics without vmware tools, not a mirrored desktop :P | 05:01 |
| wheatthin | so i created an empty virtual machine, and booted. | 05:01 |
| varunendra | live? | 05:02 |
| wheatthin | no, the installation iso | 05:02 |
| varunendra | k | 05:02 |
| varunendra | wheatthin, I didn't try 12.04.2, but the original release (12.04 32bit) installed absolutely fine on both virtualbox and VMware workstation 8. 13.04 is something I'm only using in live mode when required. | 05:04 |
| wheatthin | ahh.. I only installed it so I can relate to others' problems | 05:05 |

| SuperGauntlet | Is it possible to undervolt your CPU in ubuntu 12.10? | 05:12 |
| wheatthin | SuperGauntlet, you mean underclock? | 05:14 |
| SuperGauntlet | No, I mean undervolt | 05:14 |
| Phy | varunendra: Should I change the filesystem type before proceed to backup. It's as swap now. I found it. | 05:14 |
| Phy | ? | 05:15 |
| wheatthin | all cpu clocks and voltages are done via bios, and relayed to kernel | 05:15 |
| SuperGauntlet | Apparently there was a way to undervolt at one point, but is no longer supported? | 05:15 |
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: i think you mean underclock... you are talking about the CPU frequency? | 05:15 |
| SuperGauntlet | No, I'm talking about the CPU voltage. | 05:16 |
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: then, you *are* going to want to look at the bios.. AFAIK, nothing like that has every been in any OS | 05:16 |
| SuperGauntlet | http://www.linux-phc.org/ | 05:16 |
| SuperGauntlet | This apparently did | 05:16 |
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: i havent looked at that, but if its a link saying "control your CPU voltage in linux", ask the creator of the docment about it | 05:17 |
| varunendra | Phy, did you find your files in it? | 05:17 |
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: (#linux-phc on freenode.net) | 05:18 |
| SuperGauntlet | Is dead | 05:18 |
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: i propose it was never "alive" | 05:18 |
| SuperGauntlet | Possible | 05:18 |
| Phy | varunendra: I can't. I found the right partition, meantime, doesn't look like what I really wat. I got an error: Wrong structure to backup' | 05:19 |
| Phy | *want | 05:19 |
| Phy | varunendra: without the list option.. | 05:20 |
| varunendra | Phy, you can use the "p" key while the found partition is highlighted - to see if the previously existing files are in it. If not, it's not worth saving. | 05:21 |
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: you saw http://www.linux-phc.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=211 ? | 05:21 |
| SuperGauntlet | I did, that's from 2009 | 05:22 |
| SuperGauntlet | lol | 05:22 |
| Phy | varunendra: Ok. It's searching again.. | 05:22 |
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: i would say thats about how current it is, and it was never in ubuntu or debians repos... | 05:22 |
| SuperGauntlet | I'm not particularly interested in decreasing clock speeds because modern CPUs apparently consume less power at idle | 05:23 |
| SuperGauntlet | so it's better for it to work quickly and then rush to idle | 05:23 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest4027 | ||
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: then, i wouldnt bother with the voltage either, since power consumption seems to be the only valid argument | 05:23 |
| SuperGauntlet | low voltage would imply lower power consumption though | 05:24 |
| holstein | SuperGauntlet: sure, unless it didnt matter.. if it really didnt help much, or any | 05:24 |
| wheatthin | I agree | 05:24 |
| Network2501 | Hi, I'm trying to set up a VPN from the CLI (using 12.04.2LTS). Is there a way to establish a vpn connection without saving my password in plain text? The exmaples I've found on google suggest to edit a file ConnectionName | 05:24 |
| SuperGauntlet | What kind of VPN? | 05:25 |
| Network2501 | cisco vpn | 05:25 |
| SuperGauntlet | I only really know anything about openvpn, sorry | 05:26 |
| Phy | Network2501: A Switch Cisco 2501? | 05:27 |
| Network2501 | so my problem isn't establishing the connection i've tested it in unity just fine. I learnt I needed an extra software/package to get cisco vpns working so that's sorted. I'm currently using fluxbox not unity so am wondering how to connect the vpn from the CLI. I could in theory start the gui for managing the vpn but i'm not sure what that's called either so i just figured CLI would be easier.. except i don't | 05:30 |

| makara | hi. In Nautilus, how can I disable—what I can only describe as the 'statusbar'. It jumps out of the way of the mouse, but with long filenames it has nowhere to go, and it obscures the last file in the list. | 05:33 |
| varunendra | makara means the horizontal scrollbar at the bottom. It annoys me too.. | 05:34 |
| Phy | varunendra: If I change the type, can I lose something? | 05:35 |
| makara | varunendra, not the scrollbar, although that is annoying. I'm talking about a yellow tooltip kind of element. | 05:35 |
| varunendra | makara, oh, that one too.. | 05:36 |
| varunendra | Phy, from what to what? | 05:36 |
| Phy | varunendra: From swap to fat, or ext? | 05:37 |
| Phy | varunendra: as swap is impossible. | 05:37 |
| wheatthin | why not just use swap file? | 05:37 |
| Phy | IMPOSSIBLE.. | 05:38 |
| varunendra | Phy, if you know correctly what type it was, change it. But I don't think it is a write operation anyway, but not sure. | 05:38 |
| holstein | Phy: you shouldnt need to, nor should you change a file system type to do a backup | 05:39 |
| Phy | I'm changing to fat32 linux | 05:39 |
| Phy | holstein: Yes, but, I cant make a backup as Swap.. | 05:39 |
| holstein | Phy: there is no "fat32 linux" | 05:40 |
| holstein | Phy: theres no data in a swap file to backup | 05:40 |

| varunendra | holstein, phy is trying to recover files (using testdisk) from a 150 GB partition that was accidentally converted to swap. Could you help with that? | 05:41 |
| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| holstein | maybe | 05:41 |
| Phy | holstein: I did. I have to reboot now. | 05:42 |
| varunendra | appreciated :) | 05:42 |
| Phy | varunendra: Is worker.. I'll see. | 05:42 |
| holstein | Phy: not mess with the partition anymore.. install testdisk, and run "photorec" and follow the prompts, selecting the entire drive that you are trying to recover from as the source | 05:42 |
| holstein | dont mess * | 05:42 |
| Phy | ok. | 05:43 |
| Phy | And now, holstein? | 05:43 |
| holstein | Phy: a disk that size could run for a few hours.. or, overnight.. or a few days.. so, you set up the process, and wait | 05:44 |
| varunendra | holstein, what I've made them do so far - comment out the swap line in fstab, run deep search with testdisk | 05:44 |
| holstein | varunendra: i literally just use photorec on the drive | 05:44 |
| holstein | i dont mess with fstab, or anything else... i use a live CD, and use photorec from testdisk | 05:44 |
| varunendra | holstein, I prefer that too. Was hoping that maybe testdisk could recover the previously existing partition. | 05:45 |
| holstein | using the partition as swap for any amount of time will overwrite some data | 05:45 |
| holstein | it wont recover any partition... best case, it'll give you the files, with no names Phy | 05:45 |
| holstein | Phy: keep in mind, there are companies that would literally charge you hundreds of dollars to do this, and maybe not recover anything | 05:46 |
| Phy | holstein, The software didn't give me the lost files, just the actual directory. It's intact. | 05:47 |
| holstein | take your time, and get photorec set up correctly, and just let it go, and hope for the best | 05:47 |
| holstein | Phy: then, access the data | 05:47 |
| holstein | Phy: otherwise, it'll likely take you a while | 05:47 |
| * cfhowlett2 would ask HOW one converts a data partition to /swap but remembers his OWN ... questionable ... keyboard commands. | 05:48 | |
| Phy | vanu | 05:48 |
| varunendra | me? | 05:49 |
| Phy | varunendra, holstein, Thank you. I have to sleep a little now. | 05:49 |
| holstein | Phy: good luck! | 05:49 |
| holstein | http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/TestDisk is what i refer to Phy | 05:49 |
| Phy | varunendra, holstein, I will try tomorrow. Good noght. | 05:49 |
| Phy | ok. | 05:50 |
| varunendra | gn! | 05:50 |
| Phy | Worked. holstein, varunendra. I just had to select the directory to recovery.. | 05:52 |

| afidegnum | hello, pls I am curretly on root.... how do I change my webfolder so ftp, http and others can access and modify its foldern contents? | 05:54 |
| xirre | Hi, I was looking around and just could not find words on how to express this question in a search format. I'm looking for a program that would allow a user, typically one running a server, the ability to place processes in a depressed state while keeping certain processes running normal to save power. More like a sleep mode that "dreams" about a specific thing which in this case would be the server and the internet. | 05:54 |
| cfhowlett2 | !root|afidegnum, | 05:54 |
| ubottu | afidegnum,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 05:54 |
| afidegnum | I have down chmod 775 -R folder name but not work | 05:54 |
| afidegnum | lol, I am not gessing any root password :D | 05:55 |
| cfhowlett2 | xirre, perhaps a good question for #ubuntuserver | 05:55 |

| abdel | hello please how do i share my screen btw a desktop(ubuntu13,04) and a TV screen....so that what ever am doing on the desktop is different from whats on the tv screen | 07:00 |
| iTails | abdel, do you have any drivers installed for your video card? It should detect it automatically inside of the monitor settings. | 07:03 |
| abdel | itails: I have a hp desktop running ubuntu 13.04 ( when u install ubuntu all the drivers are there right) | 07:04 |
| iTails | abdel, Ubuntu doesn't install video drivers by default. | 07:05 |
| iTails | Only the basic driver to display the unity desktop. | 07:06 |
| auronandace | abdel: some graphics cards and wifi chips may require drivers | 07:06 |
| abdel | why am asking this is that if i use my laptop running on ubuntu it works fine without installing any driver, thats why am curious | 07:06 |
| abdel | so how do u install the drivers pls | 07:06 |
| iTails | What you're going to want to do abdel is search for Software & Updates in the Unity Lens. | 07:07 |
| iTails | Then go to the addition drivers tab and select one of the drivers from the list. Preferably the stable ones. | 07:08 |
| abdel | but what will i search for itails? drivers for screen or what | 07:08 |
| iTails | Search for "Software & Updates" | 07:08 |
| iTails | without quotations | 07:08 |
| abdel | i went to additional drivers but there was no list @itails | 07:15 |
| iTails | abdel, Alright. If it doesn't show up there, go into Ubuntu Software Center and search for "Additional Drivers" and install it. After that, run it and it will detect the video card in your system. | 07:16 |
| iTails | Then select which driver you want to use. | 07:16 |
| iTails | abdel, it will look similar to this. | 07:17 |

| kdmurray | Hi - Not sure if this is the right place to ask this or not. I'm setting up a new file server and the boot drive is a SSD. The system has plenty of RAM (16GB) and I was thinking it would be prudent to remove the swap partition to avoid excessive wear on the SSD. Does anyone have any exprience with this? | 07:23 |
| ikonia | kdmurray: why would it make excessive wear ? | 07:24 |
| histo | kdmurray: don't put swap on an ssd | 07:24 |
| ikonia | no issue with swap on the SSD | 07:25 |
| histo | kdmurray: Or you can reduce the use of swap since you have so much ram by lowering swappiness | 07:25 |
| === tbn is now known as Guest68003 | ||
| histo | ikonia: excessive writes | 07:25 |
| kdmurray | @histo could a system like this go without the swap altogether/ | 07:25 |
| ikonia | it shouldn't though | 07:25 |
| ikonia | hence why I'm asking why you think it would write a lot | 07:25 |
| ikonia | kdmurray: why do you think it will swap a lot ? | 07:26 |
| histo | kdmurray: it could however in the event of running out of ram if you don't hvae swap your system would hang | 07:26 |
| kdmurray | The system will use the swap partition even before it becomes memory limited if there are pages of memory which are underutilized. | 07:26 |
| ikonia | kdmurray: yes, because they are not needed so it swaps them out to disk | 07:26 |
| ikonia | kdmurray: that is not "excessive" | 07:26 |
| ikonia | that is a very small ammount | 07:26 |
| ikonia | hence why I'm asking you think it will write a lot and cause wear | 07:26 |
| histo | kdmurray: just decrease the swapiness if you are concerned | 07:27 |
| kdmurray | Excessive was maybe the wrong word. "Unnecessary" would probably be better. | 07:27 |
| kdmurray | @histo how would one go about doing that? | 07:27 |
| ikonia | kdmurray it is nessasary - as those segments are not in use, it's managing your system | 07:27 |
| ikonia | so a few writes isn't a problem | 07:27 |
| ikonia | it's working as designed | 07:28 |
| histo | kdmurray: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SwapFaq#What_is_swappiness_and_how_do_I_change_it.3F | 07:29 |
| kdmurray | @ikonia @histo thanks for the input & feedback, you two. much appreciated. | 07:29 |

| ilmerovingio | hi, is already online a changelog about the 12.04.3 release? | 07:48 |
| varunendra | krypto, what llutz pointed to above ^ Just use the blacklist.conf file or a new "<something>.conf" file in /etc/blacklist.conf.d directory. On the other hand, there are some embedded drivers like uhci, ehci etc. which need boot parameters to be prevented/modified. | 07:49 |

| abdel | help pls | 07:53 |
| krypto | if i specify it as /bin/false everything is fine. | 07:54 |
| varunendra | krypto, usually updating initramfs is not necessary if modules are blacklisted correctly. If a blacklisted module is required by another module which is not blacklisted, it'll load anyway. | 07:54 |
| varunendra | krypto, for example, in my lappy - "parport" is being used by - "parport_pc,ppdev,lp", so unless these are blacklisted too, it would get loaded anyway. | 07:55 |
| krypto | lp depends on parport and parport doesnt have any depends | 07:55 |

| pvh_sa | hey, anyone here using chromium? i'm using it on ubuntu 12.10+ (12.10 with some 13.04 upgrades) and after a while it always starts hitting DNS failures, and after a while longer runs out of system resources (resource not available errors). also when I close the browser window processes are still running. anyone else seeing similar? | 08:00 |
| cfhowlett2 | pvh_sa, works perfect for my on 12.04 | 08:01 |
| krypto | varunendra: i dont have any other module other than theses 3 | 08:01 |
| krypto | these* | 08:01 |
| cfhowlett2 | pvh_sa, I'd suspect your DNS settings before a browser issue ... | 08:01 |
| testbottu | llutz: thanks | 08:01 |
| llutz | suore: that will be hard to find, start using pgp or other end-to-end encryption | 08:01 |
| pvh_sa | I wonder cfhowlett2, what's different. my setup is a laptop that moves around a lot. i've checked DNS - its dnsmasq talking to different servers depending where i'm using the computer | 08:02 |
| varunendra | krypto, as per your output, it should work if you blacklist both. Can't say what is triggering these even after updating initramfs. | 08:02 |
| cfhowlett2 | pvh_sa, say what? I could be wrong, but shouldn't the default be the google dns server? | 08:02 |
| abdel | any body pls help | 08:02 |
| pvh_sa | cfhowlett2, uh, no. split horizon DNS - can't use google DNS as default | 08:03 |
| ujjain | I have 2 servers with seemingly identical set-ups... what can causea user to be able to log in on 1 server, but not on the other with this error: pam_unix(vsftpd:auth): authentication failure; | 08:03 |
| cfhowlett2 | pvh_sa, ah. well then. | 08:03 |
| pvh_sa | cfhowlett2, other apps handle the setup quite fine. i'm wondering if chromium is doing something different w.r.t. DNS then | 08:04 |
| cfhowlett2 | pvh_sa, I can't offer a fix, as that's beyond my knowledge, but I'd still say it's a DNS issue. you could test that by using an alternate browser and see if the fail repeasts | 08:04 |
| pvh_sa | cfhowlett2, firefox works fine. | 08:04 |
| cfhowlett2 | pvh_sa, nicely done. then yeah, it seems to be chromium specific. But ... I don't know where that setting is | 08:05 |
| pvh_sa | ok. hm. so I guess my question is... anyone using chromium who switches between different DNS setups lots? | 08:05 |

| michaela | im thinking about upgrading the wifi card on my dell inspiron 1545 to a faster n one. does anyone have any suggestions | 09:19 |
| varunendra | dsalfran_, if the access-point is not under your control, there is not much you can do with this driver. Disabling N channel on the router/access-point often helps with this driver in such issues, but obviously that is something you can do only with your own routers. | 09:19 |
| === illovae_ is now known as illovae | ||
| dsalfran_ | varunendra: Well, the issue is more problematic at home. I have access to the router there but no idea what is the N channel or how to disable it :( | 09:22 |
| draconus | has anyone heard of a fix for expect that would allow bigger output buffer? or perhaps there is a better tool than expect? | 09:23 |
| amer | Hi. I installed Ubuntu 13.04 on ASUS U500VZ Touch. Some of the function keys are not working (keyboard backligt + wireless). Any Help ? | 09:23 |
| varunendra | dsalfran_, it is meant for speeds higher than 54 Mbps (upto 300 Mbps), but is still not very well supported by most of the linux drivers. In router it is usually in the list of "Modes" or "Channels" (a/b/g/n) where you can choose a mode without "n" (usually "b/g only") | 09:24 |

| varunendra | dsalfran_, in some cases, where too many access-points with same SSID are available (like your current situation), sometimes Wich performs better than NetworkManager : https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WICD | 09:26 |
| varunendra | dsalfran_, although by your dmesg part, it doesn't look like a NM issue. | 09:27 |
| varunendra | *wicd | 09:27 |
| dsalfran_ | varunendra: Thanks, I will try to play with the router when I get home. Silly question, is that something I do physically on the router? | 09:27 |
| meet | hi. I created a bootable usb of lubuntu 13.04. And tried to boot into a old machine with it. It gives black screen with message boot error. What could be the problem? | 09:28 |
| === Guest46915 is now known as Troy^ | ||
| varunendra | dsalfran_, no, it's just a setting in admin control web interface of the router. | 09:28 |
| sporkeee | meet, Whats the error? | 09:28 |
| meet | sporkeee: "boot error" is all that is displayed on screen | 09:28 |
| meet | and then it proceeds to boot from the hard disk into winxp. | 09:29 |
| sporkeee | meet, How did you load the usb, and did you check the sum of the iso? | 09:29 |
| meet | sporkeee: I tested the iso on my laptop in virtualbox. worked fine. then created the usb using unetbootin | 09:29 |
| dsalfran_ | varunendra: Ah, I was looking at the syslog last time I had the issue at home and I remember that when trying to connect to the network it had problems with the IPv4 resolution or something like that | 09:29 |
| === trench_ is now known as trench | ||
| sporkeee | meet, Lots of loaders, I would check the sum anyway, and try another. | 09:31 |
| sporkeee | might of just been a bad load. | 09:31 |
| meet | now I tested the usb on my other laptop. the live session did boot up with no problems. | 09:31 |
| varunendra | dsalfran_, a DNS or resolving issue should at most affect browsing, page not loading etc. It should not affect your connectivity to the access point. | 09:32 |
| sporkeee | meet, This computer does boot a usb it sounds like, not sure really. | 09:32 |
| varunendra | dsalfran_, here is a short guide to make the proprietary driver "rt5390sta" work with this chip : http://irrelevantcheetah.com/?tag=rt539b But consider it the last resort since I'm frequently seeing freezing issues with ralink drivers on latest kernels. | 09:32 |
| meet | sporkeee: the machine I am trying is p4 and never updated the bios or anything. but it does show a boot from usb option in bios settings. | 09:33 |
| meet | Any work arounds? | 09:33 |

| fALSO | root@lemonparty:~# | 09:36 |
| blazemore | fALSO: Do you get any output from "iptables -L"? | 09:36 |
| TSOTF | hi | 09:36 |
| fALSO | what is wrong, the script is borked, or the man page is incorrect? | 09:36 |
| fALSO | yes blazemore i have rules in iptables | 09:36 |
| blazemore | fALSO: Neither probably | 09:37 |
| TSOTF | auto scripter | 09:37 |
| dsalfran_ | varunendra: I'll keep that link if I have further issues. Yes, I thought the nohwcrypt=1 was for better speed but what I have been getting is that pages stop loading. A DNS resolving issue should be the problem. Is something I can fix? | 09:37 |
| sporkeee | meet, I see yes and no's on the p4 and pae kernels, you might try a mini iso net install. | 09:37 |
| fALSO | blazemore, what do you mean? | 09:37 |
| fALSO | blazemore, both the manpage and the script are borked ? | 09:37 |
| blazemore | fALSO: what's the output of "which iptables-save" ? | 09:38 |
| fALSO | /sbin/iptables-save | 09:38 |
| varunendra | dsalfran_, try using open DNS like google's "8.8.8.8, 8.8.4.4", If you are not using IPv6, make sure it is set to "Ignore" in Network Manager. You can even completely disable it if you wish (search net for it, and pick up the "sysclt.conf" formula) | 09:39 |
| fALSO | nice... found the problem | 09:39 |
| blazemore | fALSO: What was it? | 09:39 |

| fALSO | LOL amazing | 09:40 |
| fALSO | this is awesome | 09:40 |
| fALSO | is this normal in ubuntu blazemore ? LOL | 09:41 |
| varunendra | dsalfran_, correction - it is /etc/sysctl.conf file that needs to be edited to disable IPv6 (only if seems affecting browsing, or if you see problems with it in syslog) | 09:41 |
| blazemore | It's not on my system fALSO | 09:41 |
| dsalfran_ | varundendra: Thanks for the help. I will try all of this when I get home tonight | 09:41 |
| varunendra | you'te welcome :) | 09:42 |
| dsalfran_ | varunendra: Not sure if I'm using IPv6 | 09:42 |
| varunendra | dsalfran_, just take a look at your syslog (cat /var/log/syslog). If you don't see problematic lines regarding IPv6, then setting it to "Ignore" in NM is enough. | 09:43 |

| Shariff | Hi there | 10:07 |
| Shariff | Does anyone have a recommendation for a nice torrent client (with webui) under ubuntu? Preferably a server daemon thingy :) | 10:08 |
| blazemore | Shariff: deluge | 10:08 |
| Shariff | blazemore: thanks! Will look into that immediately :) | 10:08 |
| k1l | Shariff: torrentflux | 10:08 |
| blazemore | Shariff: deluged runs as a daemon, can be connected to locally or remotely with gtk and webui (gtk works well on Windows too) | 10:08 |
| Shariff | k1l: Thanks! | 10:08 |
| blazemore | Shariff: It also has "classic mode" which hides a local daemon when you just want a simple torrent client | 10:08 |
| Shariff | blazemore: Sounds great! | 10:09 |
| Shariff | Does it also check watch folders for new torrent files? | 10:09 |
| blazemore | k1l: I've never used torrentflux, have you used deluge? | 10:09 |
| blazemore | Shariff: Yes | 10:09 |
| Shariff | blazemore: Sounds brilliant | 10:09 |
| zaertiop | i got lots of annotation on a file | 10:09 |
| kdmurray | @Shariff I've been using Transmission for the past few years. Does a good job. | 10:09 |
| blazemore | Shariff: http://dev.deluge-torrent.org/wiki/UserGuide/ThinClient | 10:09 |
| zaertiop | i would like to cat the content expect annotation how to do ? | 10:10 |
| Shariff | Thanks for all the help! | 10:10 |
| blazemore | zaertiop: What do you mean bu annotations? | 10:10 |
| k1l | blazemore: no, i just used torrentflux and was satisfied with it | 10:10 |
| zaertiop | remark, comment what ever you like | 10:11 |
| dukje | hi there, how do i prevent a ubuntu (13.04 or an other) livecd from trying to assemble a (faulty) raid at boot time? | 10:11 |
| blazemore | dukje: I don't see why it would | 10:12 |
| zaertiop | anyone understand my question ? | 10:12 |
| blazemore | zaertiop: How did you add these annotations? | 10:13 |
| dukje | blazemore, that it sees what could be mounted after. but are u sure, because i want to examine it, before its getting messed up more | 10:13 |
| zaertiop | well let me explain you again | 10:14 |
| zaertiop | i got this file | 10:14 |
| zaertiop | for example | 10:14 |
| zaertiop | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5857974/ | 10:14 |
| blazemore | dukje: Use the boot option raid=noautodetect | 10:14 |
| dukje | blazemore, great thx & cu | 10:15 |
| blazemore | OK zaertiop and what do you want to get out of it? | 10:15 |
| zaertiop | i would like to see the content of this file without the hash | 10:15 |
| zaertiop | what i have to do ? | 10:15 |
| blazemore | cat filename | sed -e 's/#//g' | 10:17 |
| blazemore | zaertiop: Or do you mean you only want lines which do not have a hash? | 10:18 |
| blazemore | zaertiop: in which case it's "grep -v \# filename" | 10:18 |
| zaertiop | let me check | 10:21 |
| zaertiop | perfect working blazemore | 10:22 |
| blazemore | No problem zaertiop | 10:22 |
| zaertiop | are you good on bash script ? | 10:23 |
| blazemore | Not hugely so, only to what my job requires. I can handle simple grep and sed :) | 10:23 |
| krasnozer | hi, the fonts look different between unity and others wm, is it possible to apply the defaults gtk font/themes settings outside unity? | 10:24 |
| blazemore | krasnozer: Do you mean when you start a different desktop environment from the login screen? | 10:24 |
| blazemore | krasnozer: If so, you need to go into the configuration options for each desktop environment to change its fonts | 10:24 |
| krasnozer | blazemore, yes | 10:24 |
| blazemore | krasnozer: How you do that will be different for each desktop environment (KDE, XFCE etc) | 10:25 |
| krasnozer | blazemore, but what about a barebone wm? | 10:25 |
| blazemore | krasnozer: Which one is it? | 10:26 |
| zaertiop | #bash | 10:26 |
| krasnozer | blazemore, i remember xfce had something like a xfce-settings daemon for that, is there something similar in ubuntu/unity? | 10:26 |
| blazemore | zaertiop: Did you want to /join #bash | 10:26 |
| krasnozer | blazemore, ratpoison | 10:26 |
| blazemore | krasnozer: Changing the unity settings will affect only unity | 10:27 |
| zaertiop | i m asking you if you are good on bash | 10:27 |
| zaertiop | that's akk | 10:27 |
| zaertiop | all | 10:27 |
| krasnozer | blazemore, but there are no fonts settings in unity | 10:27 |
| meet | i was trying out lubuntu13.04. I was not able to add icons to the desktop. is that a bug which has been fixed? | 10:27 |
| blazemore | krasnozer: Try out the program "gnome-tweak-tool" which is in the repositories - It will allow you to make changes to fonts which should affect all GTK applications, regardless of wm | 10:28 |
| zaertiop | well this is my work file http://paste.ubuntu.com/5858002/ | 10:29 |
| zaertiop | i would like to make a script with that | 10:29 |
| zaertiop | how to do ? | 10:29 |
| krasnozer | blazemore, that's exactly what i was looking for thanks | 10:29 |
| blazemore | zaertiop: What do you want the script to do? | 10:29 |
| varunendra | zaertiop, please ask bash specific questions in #bash only (where you are already asking the same question) | 10:32 |
| zaertiop | then keep you silence from there varunendra | 10:33 |
| zaertiop | then why you keep silence from there varunendra ? | 10:33 |

| Daulity | trying to set a usb audio card as the first card. | 10:35 |
| Daulity | disappears | 10:35 |
| blazemore | Daulity: Can you see the USB audio card when you run "aplay -l" ? | 10:36 |
| Daulity | blazemore: it's not there and it's not in alsamixer, when i remove the line it comes back as the third card. | 10:37 |
| blazemore | Daulity: Take a look at http://alsa.opensrc.org/MultipleCards#The_older_.22index.3D.22_method | 10:37 |

| IdleOne | zaertiop: your question has nothing to do with Ubuntu, please seek help in the proper channel like #bash | 10:42 |
| nodie | I'm having problems with a ath9k wifi card, I'm unable to connect to a 802.11N network | 10:42 |
| blazemore | Lartza: Check which locales are supported with "less /usr/share/i18n/SUPPORTED" | 10:42 |
| nodie | I'm running 13.04 with kernel 3.10.0-031000-generic | 10:42 |
| blazemore | Lartza: Then add them to the system with (for example) sudo locale-gen ru_RU.UTF8 | 10:42 |
| nodie | and I'm getting crazy :) | 10:43 |
| Lartza | blazemore, Yeah I just ran locale-gen :) Thanks | 10:43 |
| blazemore | Lartza: Don't forget you might have to run "sudo update-locale" after but I'm not 100% sure | 10:43 |
| nodie | could you refer me to some tutorial or explanation about why ath9k cards have so many problems and how could I fix the 802.11N connection problem? | 10:43 |
| Lartza | blazemore, I am guessing I either have to manually edit /etc/default/locale or update-locale LANG=mylang :) | 10:43 |
| blazemore | Lartza: I believe so, there's a graphical utility in system settings too | 10:44 |
| Lartza | blazemore, Server ;) | 10:44 |
| blazemore | nodie: Which card have you got, and can you connect to 802.11g networks? | 10:44 |
| Lartza | blazemore, That's basically why I had no locales at all, but it didn't cause any problems before now :P | 10:45 |
| blazemore | Lartza: It probably fell back to en_US.utf8 | 10:45 |
| Lartza | blazemore, there was no en_US.UTF-8, fallback is probably C then | 10:45 |

| samy | blazemore it's a adaptec 1220sa, configured with 2x500gb raid0 | 11:02 |
| samy | on windows 0 problems... on any live cd with linux... other dist.. i see the raid.. but.. i installed ubuntu studio and i dont see the raid | 11:03 |

| itamos | hi guys. I have a problem starting up a daemon | 11:03 |
| samy | i download 1 for red hat or suse... | 11:04 |
| samy | but all files are .img | 11:04 |
| itamos | after installing it with apt-get install, it is loaded correctly. Running /etc/init.d/daemon_name start|stop also works fine. After rebooting, the daemon will not load. The error I get is: chroot: no such file or directory. | 11:05 |
| samy | i dont know the img files | 11:06 |
| itamos | Running apt-get remove and apt-get install again, loads the daemon. | 11:06 |

| T3X | can i print the time next to each output in my bash script? | 11:17 |
| blazemore | Yes T3X for example, to get the same prompt as me do "export PS1=\[\033[0;34m\][$(date +%H:%M)][\u:\w]\$ \[\033[0m\]" | 11:17 |

| BluesKaj | Hi all | 11:55 |
| christophoros | Hello i am using Alienware 17x R3 and it has 2 graphics card 1 intel intergrated and 1 more ATI 2GB . how can i configure them and use the ATI graphic card instead of the intel one ? :) thanks | 11:56 |
| adamk | christophoros: The proprietary AMD driver (catalyst/fglrx) supports hybrid graphics on some laptops. Your best bet is to install the driver and see if it works. | 11:57 |
| theadmin | christophoros: If you have the propretiary ATI drivers, just go to the AMD Control Panel and set the card you want to use | 11:58 |
| theadmin | christophoros: Have no idea how to do it with the open ones though | 11:58 |
| adamk | The open source drivers don't support hybrid graphics yet. | 11:58 |
| theadmin | Switchable graphics are a pain on any system for me :/ | 11:58 |
| christophoros | ow:( so i shall return to windows if i dont make it :(\ | 11:58 |
| num | Hello! Does anyone have experience with libtorrent for python? | 11:59 |
| ikonia | the descreet graphics cards are a failure on the open platforms sadly | 11:59 |
| theadmin | christophoros: Not really a problem, open the extra drivers tool and search for the ATI ones | 11:59 |
| theadmin | christophoros: Either in System Settings -> Additional Drivers or, in 12.10 and up, System Settings -> Software & Updates -> Additional Drivers | 12:00 |
| adamk | There is a good chance it won't work. I'd say it's about 50/50. | 12:00 |
| theadmin | adamk: The AMD support has seen quite a few improvements over the recent years I would say, although honestly it's still on the starting stage | 12:01 |
| adamk | Yes, it has, but it | 12:01 |
| adamk | But support for hybrid graphics is still very iffy. | 12:02 |
| christophoros | in Additional drivers i can see my ATI | 12:02 |

Now everytime I try to install something error comes up. how do I cancel this operation entirely? I dont want to apt-get install -f or dpkg configure -a | 12:20 |
| marz | I want to change the menu of my Grub. In the training video that I'm watching, it says I can change it on /boot/grub/menu.lst I googled it and found out that Ubuntu has it on /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d | 12:20 |
| marz | Siebjee: I want to change the menu of my Grub. In the training video that I'm watching, it says I can change it on /boot/grub/menu.lst I googled it and found out that Ubuntu has it on /etc/default/grub or /etc/grub.d | 12:20 |
| Siebjee | marz, most of the configuration of grub2 is located in either /etc/grub.d/ or /etc/default/grub | 12:20 |
| Siebjee | marz, that is the old style of grub (grub1) | 12:21 |
| marz | Siebjee: my grub2 menu contains an item that says "Older Version of Linux" does that mean that there is an older version of Linux installed onto it? | 12:21 |
| mumpitzel | marz: what do you want to change? | 12:21 |
| Siebjee | marz, yes, older versions of your kernel | 12:21 |
| marz | Siebjee: How do I remove it? | 12:21 |
| Siebjee | marz, to remove them from the menu remove them from the client | 12:22 |
| Siebjee | marz, apt-get remove <old kernel version> | 12:22 |
| Siebjee | marz, http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/17787/clean-up-the-new-ubuntu-grub2-boot-menu/ or follow this howto | 12:22 |
| marz | Siebjee: How do I now what version that it? | 12:23 |
| Siebjee | marz, gui or cli version ? | 12:23 |
| Siebjee | marz, current kernel you are running on (uname -a) | 12:23 |
| Siebjee | in the terminal that is | 12:23 |
| Siebjee | uname -r even | 12:24 |
| Siebjee | would print something like '2.6.32-5-amd64' | 12:24 |
| marz | Siebjee: its 3.5.0-36, how do I know what version that older version is? It doesn't list on the grub2 menu | 12:24 |
| marz | Siebjee: It only says, Older Version of Linux | 12:24 |
| Siebjee | marz, dpkg --list |grep linux-image | 12:24 |
| Siebjee | marz, that will give you a list of all installed linux images | 12:25 |

| marz | Siebjee: How do I remove the others? | 12:27 |
| marz | Siebjee: i'm sorry, I'm a total noob, hehe | 12:27 |
| Siebjee | apt-get remove linux-image-<version> as dpkg has shown you | 12:27 |
| Siebjee | marz, no worries mate :) we all had to start from there ;) | 12:27 |
| theadmin | marz: Run this, it will remove all the kernels except your current one: dpkg -l 'linux-*' | sed '/^ii/!d;/'"$(uname -r | sed "s/\(.*\)-\([^0-9]\+\)/\1/")"'/d;s/^[^ ]* [^ ]* \([^ ]*\).*/\1/;/[0-9]/!d' | xargs sudo apt-get -y purge | 12:27 |

| Siebjee | Not that much of a regex person my self :) | 12:29 |
| marz | theadmin: W0W! I don't understand that at all. Is that what they call bash scripting? | 12:29 |
| Siebjee | marz, yes | 12:29 |
| Siebjee | one-liner to be more precise :p | 12:29 |
| varunsk | hi | 12:29 |
| Siebjee | but it does the trick for ya | 12:29 |
| varunsk | looking for ubuntu ARM project in live mode | 12:29 |
| theadmin | marz: Well, yes -- sed uses regular expressions which is quite evil. That's probably not the best way to get the names out, but eh, it works | 12:30 |
| Siebjee | theadmin, nicely build though :) | 12:31 |
| Siebjee | marz, why do you actually want to remove your older kernels ? | 12:31 |
| theadmin | Siebjee: Well, that should go to whoever made up that command, I just found it on some sort of blog or forum or somethings. | 12:31 |
| auronandace | !arm | varunsk | 12:31 |
| ubottu | varunsk: ARM is a specific (RISC) processor architecture used in a variety of applications such as handhelds and networkdevices. For more information see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM . For ARM specific support, stop by the #ubuntu-arm channel. | 12:31 |
| Siebjee | marz, you can just disable the entire chainload in grub and or put the menu timeout to 0 | 12:31 |
| Siebjee | theadmin, nicely found then :) kudo's to him / her | 12:32 |
| varunsk | anybody knows about bringing back an uninstalled cryptkeeper to decrypt a folder ? | 12:32 |
| marz | Siebjee: I just want to remove entries from Grub2 menu | 12:32 |
| Siebjee | marz, normally there is no need for that. They don't use that much resources. In fact only some disk space. Which usually is no problem at all | 12:33 |
| marz | Siebjee: I just want to know how it's done | 12:33 |

| marz | Siebjee: Isn't there any configuration files that I can open and change the list from there? | 12:34 |
| varunsk | /boot/grub | 12:34 |
| theadmin | marz: Well, in Ubuntu, GRUB detects kernels automatically and builds the resulting config from that. So in general, not really | 12:35 |
| auronandace | marz: /etc/default/grub and /etc/grub.d/ | 12:35 |

| marz | auronandace: I tried checking both files | 12:36 |
| auronandace | marz: any alterations to them should be followed by update-grub | 12:37 |
| Siebjee | marz, Quote: I really can't manually control what items will be listed on the GRUB2 menu then, < Yep thats correct. Unless you uninstall your old kernels | 12:37 |

| === peter is now known as Guest99170 | ||
| marz | Siebjee: See, I'm currentyl watching a video from CBT Nuggets about Linux, and I think its using the older version of GRUB where you can edit it in /boot/grub/menu.lst, and in the file is a list of items that you can modify to add or delete items from the grub menu | 12:39 |
| Siebjee | marz, with grub1 you had a menu.lst which was quite easier. But since grub2 this has been removed, and automated. | 12:39 |
| Siebjee | marz, that is indeed the older grub version | 12:40 |
| Siebjee | quite confusing in the beginning | 12:40 |
| theadmin | Siebjee: Actually, Ubuntu has been using autodetection mechanisms for quite a while even back when GRUB 1 was around. | 12:40 |
| marz | Siebjee: Well, thanks for the help mate. I'll be back for more. That's for sure . . . hahahaha | 12:41 |
| Siebjee | theadmin, i came around at the grub2 area | 12:41 |
| auronandace | marz: the file grub2 uses is grub.cfg which gets generated from the scripts in /etc/grub.d/ | 12:41 |
| Siebjee | marz, You're welcome :) | 12:41 |
| marz | auronandace: Oh okay, you edit /etc/grub.d/ then do a update-grub to refresh or update the scripts generated in grub.cfg | 12:42 |
| marz | Siebjee: By they way, can I ask for tips on how to get proficient in Ubuntu? | 12:43 |

| auronandace | marz: get proficient in ubuntu is rather vague, what exactly do you have in mind? | 12:44 |
| marz | auronandace: Just be able to do anything I like similar to Windows | 12:44 |
| auronandace | !manual | marz | 12:44 |

| blazemore | j_wolf1: On the login screen, what does the Session Chooser say? http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/session-chooser.jpg | 13:39 |
| marcoceppi | elijah: the packages are identical in both repositories | 13:39 |
| elijah | marcoceppi: From what I am seeing they both have the same build for Raring | 13:39 |
| marcoceppi | elijah: correct | 13:39 |
| elijah | marcoceppi: lol, thanks for verifying | 13:39 |
| marcoceppi | elijah: heh, no problem :) | 13:40 |
| occ | im looking at laptops, some have touchscreens..... does ubuntu have any compatibility problems with toucscreen laptops? or it will work fine and will ubuntu will just ignore touchscreen input | 13:40 |
| elijah | Looks like unstable has something different | 13:40 |
| elijah | https://launchpad.net/~nuvola-player-builders/+archive/unstable | 13:40 |
| nic013 | @blazemore dude what is p7zip-full? | 13:40 |
| ctcb | I'm a little bit confused right now. | 13:41 |
| occ | i know ubuntu dosnt have touchscreen support, i just wondered if maybe touchscreens require some weird driver ubuntu might not have..... but then i guess it all comes down to the graphics card maybe? if that is the middle man that handles everything | 13:41 |
| SwashBuckla | oh gad | 13:41 |
| elijah | marcoceppi: okay, now it is picking the unstable version after I added that repo | 13:41 |
| SwashBuckla | wish I didn't have only this UEFI laptop | 13:41 |
| SwashBuckla | no more linux | 13:41 |
| SwashBuckla | :( | 13:41 |
| ctcb | ...Is BrainStorm dead? | 13:41 |
| elijah | marcoceppi: How would I revert back to stable if it is no good? | 13:41 |
| j_wolf1 | blazemore: it looks like I have only two options. ubuntu and ubuntu 2D. this is ubuntu 12.04 with a only a few updates (not actively used) | 13:42 |
| marcoceppi | elijah: remove the unstable ppa, then sudo apt-get install nuvolaplayer. It'll install "upgrade" the version with what it knows | 13:42 |
| marcoceppi | even if that means downgrading | 13:42 |
| ctcb | For some reason http://Brainstorm.Ubuntu.com redirects to http://Community.Ubuntu.com | 13:43 |

| rajraj | which software/package/script is good for connecting usb modems in ubuntu12.10 | 13:44 |
| ctcb | How do I give my ideas to the community now? :( | 13:44 |
| marcoceppi | ctcb: there's a whole blog post on it, one second. tl;dr; no one really listend to brainstorm - it was a failed expierement | 13:45 |
| cragdor | Is this the correct place to talk about a bug? More specific a bug raised in 2006 that still inflicts brand new hardware resulting in an unusable system? | 13:45 |
| ctcb | marcoceppi: Okay, where do I give my suggestions for Ubuntu 13.10/14.04? | 13:46 |
| marcoceppi | ctcb: mailing lists | 13:46 |
| MonkeyDust | ctcb 13 | 13:46 |
| MonkeyDust | .1oops | 13:47 |
| ctcb | Last time I tried mailing lists, I was getting hundreds of Ubuntu Emails per day. | 13:47 |
| MonkeyDust | ctcb 13.10 is supported in #ubuntu+1 | 13:47 |
| marcoceppi | ctcb: http://community.ubuntu.com/contribute/ | 13:47 |
| marcoceppi | ctcb: http://www.jorgecastro.org/2013/05/15/brainstorm-does-not-make-sense-in-the-age-of-virtual-uds/ | 13:48 |
| marcoceppi | ctcb: Join the next Virtual UDS and discuss your ideas there, forums, mailing list, irc. Essentially any other venue | 13:48 |
| MonkeyDust | brainstorm is no more | 13:49 |
| ctcb | Part of me feels that without Brainstorm, Ubuntu seems Closed Source to those who do not have the ability to code for it. I always felt Brainstorm was there for people who weren't coding on it to give their suggestions for what they want to see in a simple way. | 13:49 |
| simpleuser | Hello there. My EEEpc is a bit hot (70°) and it's very unconfortable. I don't have this problem on Windows. I already have installed bumblebee to disable my nvidia card. But i don't know what to do next... It seems fans are not working. | 13:50 |
| OerHeks | ctcb it was a nice project, true. | 13:50 |
| marcoceppi | ctcb: to be honest, as it's discussed in the post, the people who could inflict change in the system never really watched brainstorm. Thereby it was a false sense of contribution. If you want to get your ideas in to the system you need to write them yourself or talk about them where the people making the changes live | 13:51 |
| simpleuser | I also have installed jupiter. And i'm under On Demand mode. | 13:51 |
| marcoceppi | ctcb: this is mailing lists, irc, forums, etc | 13:51 |
| ctcb | marcoceppi, Which IRC should I be joining? | 13:52 |
| marcoceppi | Depends on what you're interested in, https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/ChannelList | 13:53 |
| j_wolf1 | followup question...so I changed the password on my ubuntu following these steps: http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/...I am not able to log-in via gui...but I can SSH into it using the password that I changed it too. I just logged into guest for the time being...but this is very perplexing to me | 13:53 |
| ctcb | Right now, I have an idea for Ubuntu Terminal. | 13:53 |
| MonkeyDust | ctcb try the idea here, maybe it already exists | 13:54 |
| hidn_shadows | simpleuser have you checked the Repos and made sure there aren't any necessary packages for advanced hardware use for the EEEpc? I can't remember if there are or not | 13:54 |
| ctcb | MonkeyDust, I already know what I want doesn't exist. | 13:54 |
| marcoceppi | j_wolf1: try resetting the password again from ssh, then log in | 13:54 |
| blazemore | ctcb: What is it? | 13:55 |
| j_wolf1 | marcoceppi: s'alight | 13:55 |
| MonkeyDust | ctcb or try in #ubuntu-offtopic, as this channel is for support | 13:55 |
| rosh | I have both JDK6, and OpenJDK-7 installed in Ubuntu 12.04. `java -version' shows it's using "OpenJDK 7u21" version while `javac -version' gives me "javac 1.6.0_27" .. how can i fix that? | 13:55 |
| marcoceppi | ctcb: if it's for the Terminal application, try talking about it in #ubuntu-desktop, #ubuntu-offtopic, #ubuntu-discuss, #ubuntu-app-devel | 13:55 |
| marcoceppi | Also, gnome-terminal is maintained upstream, so you could try tracking down their bug tracker/mailing list/irc channel and getting it in there | 13:56 |
| blazemore | rosh: sudo update-alternatives --config java | 13:56 |
| simpleuser | hidn_shadows, it seems there's not any :-/ | 13:56 |
| rosh | blazemore, let me see | 13:57 |

| === mfisch is now known as Guest37969 | ||
| marcoceppi | j_wolf1: that's odd, sometimes there's an issue unlocking the gnome-keyring but it shouldn't prevent you from logging in (just makes you type your password in a few times) | 13:57 |
| vlad_starkov | Question: Anyone know how to deal with vsftpd ssl/tls issue "I/O Error: Connection failed. Unsupported record version Unknown-48.48." ? | 13:58 |
| rosh | blazemore, It was `sudo update-alternatives --config javac' .. Thanks. :) | 13:58 |
| Sergio965 | Hi! Can anybody offer some help on using QEMU under XFCE? Each time QEMU captures my mouse, I can't release it using the key combination. This only happens in XFCE. If I switch to Gnome, all works as expected. | 13:59 |
| blazemore | Sergio965: Check the XFCE settings, there's probably a keybinding there which is takng precedence | 14:00 |
| j_wolf1 | marcoceppi: hmmm...yea I changed it again via ssh and rebooted...still won't let me in. I'll try an update...hasn't been updated in awhile | 14:01 |

| Sergio965 | blazemore: Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be a shortcut with the key combination (<Control><Alt>), but there are many that use the combination (<C>A<>d, <C><A>left, etc.) | 14:03 |
| dr_ | hail guys | 14:03 |

| afidegnum | lol | 14:04 |
| Sergio965 | blazemore: Looking into that now. | 14:04 |

Now I'm on to one last issue I am having with Ubuntu. I dual boot Ubuntu and Windows and it seems after switching from windows my reciever has an insane scroll speed. Is there a way to calm down the mouse wheel without unplugging / plugging it back in af | 14:06 |

| blazemore | dr_: where? | 14:14 |

| dr_ | ??? | 14:15 |
| blazemore | dr_: Can I please have the link? | 14:15 |
| marcoceppi | Vec: there's no guarentee when a disk will be read. Esp. if they're attached in parallel and not serially | 14:15 |
| marcoceppi | Vec: that's why we have labels and UUID | 14:16 |
| dr_ | how??? | 14:16 |
| mhr | I am not able to use sudo command with only user that I have as it says <user> is not in sudoers list. I tried editing sudoers file with visudo but it also needs sudo and gives same message. How can I solve this without creating a new user? | 14:16 |
| blazemore | dr_: After you submit it, copy the link from the address bar | 14:16 |
| Vec | marcoceppi: Sure i can get fstab to work through uuid, but it seems incredibly weird and not how it should work. On my previous install that disk was called /dev/sdb5 all day every day | 14:16 |
| dr_ | owh.. | 14:16 |
| dr_ | wait | 14:16 |
| blazemore | Dalek-Caan: The output of "fdisk -l" on your system shows that "/dev/sdb1" doesn't exist | 14:16 |
| blazemore | Dalek-Caan: But you are trying to mount it | 14:17 |
| Dalek-Caan | Dalek-Caan, But I do have 2 data disks, that are both 500 GB | 14:17 |

| dr_ | https://login.launchpad.net/PH0GPZ0JcCRQk1Zw/+decide | 14:17 |
| blazemore | Dalek-Caan: According to fdisk -l you have something called a "SFS" partition on /dev/sdb1 - is that something that sounds familar? | 14:18 |
| marcoceppi | mhr: sorry, sudo group. Not admin | 14:18 |
| mhr | marcoceppi, which option should I use | 14:18 |
| Vec | marcoceppi: Basically u are advising me not to care about it and use uuid? | 14:18 |

| Dalek-Caan | blazemore, I'm not sure, because all I did was; let the live-disk use the "C:" harddisk that had Windows server on it and not change the other 2 disks. | 14:19 |
| === pudim_ is now known as pudim | ||
| MonkeyDust | Vec uuid is the name used in fstab, it's very easy | 14:19 |
| Dalek-Caan | blazemore, So that Windows Server would be replaced on the 160GB harddisk and I'd have 2 data harddisks to work on. | 14:19 |
| blazemore | Dalek-Caan: Can you please pastebin me the contents of the file "/etc/fstab" ? | 14:19 |
| Vec | MonkeyDust: Sure i get that. What i dont get is WHY in the world should the OS behave like this. | 14:19 |

| Vec | MonkeyDust: Especially since it was consistent on previous isntall | 14:20 |
| blazemore | Vec: You happened to be lucky | 14:20 |
| Vec | MonkeyDust: disk2 name alternates EVERY reboot. | 14:20 |
| Vec | blazemore: Stuff nots supposed to be random :p | 14:20 |
| marcoceppi | Vec: When I connect multiple disks via USB and a USB drive and reboot, the order is almost never the same. It just depends on when the kernel and disk device respond | 14:20 |
| === sburjan_ is now known as sburjan` | ||
| blazemore | I don't understand why you can't use UUIDs? | 14:20 |
| Vec | marcoceppi: Its SATA tho | 14:20 |
| mumpitzel | Vec: or labels | 14:21 |
| blazemore | That's exactly what they were introduced for | 14:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec and is that disk named in /etc/fstab ? | 14:21 |
| mumpitzel | Vec: with race conditions it is | 14:21 |
| Vec | blazemore: I can, will and do. Its just really annoying that it changes name for 0 reason. | 14:21 |
| blazemore | This is precicely the reason /dev/sdXN was phased out | 14:21 |
| Vec | MonkeyDust: At this point i use /dev/sd*, but ill change to uuid now. | 14:21 |
| Dalek-Caan | blazemore, How do I do this? Sorry, kind of new to the Linux world. | 14:21 |
| dr_ | look...that prob when i use/try connet wifi in buntu...now i in window...but i think,no error massage in there....only cnnot connect wit other wifi...always dc...no massage eroror....just need fill password wifi...even i fill already | 14:21 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec good, the advice you got here was correct | 14:21 |
| marcoceppi | Vec: same thing. It's not indicative of an issue, it's Linux working as expected. Making sure disk devices have a unique dev point. To properly mount the disk in fstab use UUID or labels | 14:21 |
| blazemore | dr_: I can't help you if you won't do what I ask | 14:22 |
| blazemore | dr_: I've asked you clearly and repeatedly but I'll do so one more time | 14:22 |
| Vec | marcoceppi, blazemore, MonkeyDust: Ok, i read you clearly. Thanks, will use UUID now and be satisfied with the fact that nothing is horribly wrong ^^ | 14:22 |

| marcoceppi | mhr: when the grub *should* appear, press down arrow once then enter. That should select the second option on the list which is the recovery mode kernel. It's basically trial and error shot in the dark approach but I'm nto sure how to get around grub now showing without having access to grub or sudo without using a live cd | 14:30 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: I am both on Unity and Cinnamon neither have the option for scroll speed just pointer and double click speed | 14:30 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, yep. Mouse/Touchpad/Devices/Pointer Speed | 14:30 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: Pointer speed is not the same as scroll wheel? | 14:30 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, I'd be inclined to dispute that as it's such a basic setting option | 14:30 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, not the same. | 14:31 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: The scroll wheel setting is what I need. It jumps about. | 14:31 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: Using scroll wheel jumps the equivlent of using the page up/down buttons | 14:31 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, silly question; this thing has an actual physical wheel? Which contact points you clean regularly, right? | 14:32 |
| mhr | marcoceppi, I tried that before you answered but the out of range screen got stuck, probably waiting for some more input. I will try that again and let you know. thanks for your help. | 14:32 |

| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: Please don't take this wrong as I am not trying to be offensive in anyway, but I am in the IT field I have gone over basic troubleshooting. It behaves properly after disconnecting and reconnecting the device. I figure if I could find a setting for the speed I could perm over ride this mishap. | 14:33 |
| Dalek-Caan | lllsondowlll; I've had this on some older system under Firefox when I had "smooth scrolling" on, does this only happen to you in a browser? | 14:34 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, as I said, it was a silly question. But point taken. | 14:34 |
| dr_ | lspci -nn ....wat it is???? | 14:34 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: It happens in file browser, Chrome, Firefox, any general app. | 14:34 |
| Dalek-Caan | Oh, that's not the same issue then I suppose. | 14:35 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, I'm going to have to punt on this question, but Dalek's "smooth scrolling" comment suggests a setting to investigate in mouse settings | 14:35 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: This is very frustrating as my computer is by my televesion and I have to get up and down each reboot to unplug / reset ut. | 14:35 |
| Dalek-Caan | blazemore; Could you still tell me how I can do what you said (not trying to sound impatient) | 14:35 |
| Dalek-Caan | cfhowlett; Maybe something like Windows's "precise location pointer" ? | 14:36 |
| MonkeyDust | lllsondowlll mousewheel sensitivity? you're not the first to ask, maybe you find a setting in dconf | 14:36 |
| Dalek-Caan | Sorry for my English btw. | 14:36 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, wish I could help. Restate the query in the cannel. Most folks here are smarter than I about such things | 14:36 |
| blazemore | Dalek-Caan: Do you need the data on your disks? | 14:37 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: open a terminal | 14:37 |
| nimdAHK | type cat /etc/fstab | 14:37 |
| nimdAHK | and paste that at a pastebin site | 14:37 |
| nimdAHK | unless I missed something | 14:37 |
| Dalek-Caan | blazemore; Actually, yes, I was just migrating this system to Ubuntu because I was having too much issues with Windows Server, but It has items of value on the harddisks. | 14:37 |
| lllsondowlll | MonkeyDust: Just unplugged it / plugged it back in and as of now scrolling is again normalized. I read online that this is a bug dating back to ubuntu 11 between dual boots. It has yet to be fixed. | 14:37 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, as most people are not on FM accessories, it probably won't see a fix ... | 14:38 |
| dr_ | lspci -nn | 14:39 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: That's a very odd statement as anytime you buy a wireless kb/mouse it comes with a wifi reciever which is known as FM | 14:39 |
| dorongutman | hello | 14:39 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: Very few mice and kb come with a bluetooth adapter in a retail setting. | 14:39 |
| cfhowlett | dorongutman, greetings | 14:39 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: This is a brand new combo purchased less than a half a year ago. | 14:40 |

| Dalek-Caan | This is what I get, blazemore, nimdAHK ; http://paste.ubuntu.com/5858583/ | 14:40 |

| mahabal | hey guys, is there a better "office" suite than libreoffice? my job has a timesheet we HAVE to use the macros to fill out, and libreoffice keeps telling me that it is not a valid input | 14:40 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: you might want ntfsprogs | 14:40 |
| cfhowlett | lllsondowlll, I meant only that the preference seems to be for bluetooth devices | 14:40 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: you could try ntfsfix in ntfsprogs | 14:40 |
| mahabal | is there a specific way to enter in a date in libre office? cause it tells me: 07/05/2013 isn't a friday | 14:40 |
| Dalek-Caan | Let me find ntfsprogs in the Software center, nimdAHK | 14:40 |
| nimdAHK | and you can try to mount it with ntfs-3g instead of mount | 14:41 |
| nimdAHK | i.e. sudo ntfs-3g -o force,rw /dev/<device name> /mountpoint | 14:41 |
| cfhowlett | mahabal, there's an option to set date styles in preferences or customizations | 14:41 |
| lllsondowlll | cfhowlett: The prefs seem to be equal for both bluetooth and standard wireless neither have a scroll wheel config. | 14:41 |
| MonkeyDust | lllsondowlll "new" is relative nowadays, after 6 months | 14:41 |
| Dalek-Caan | nimdAHK; I'm really new to this and not sure if I would be able to understand those commands. | 14:41 |

| Dalek-Caan | nimdAHK; I would not mind if there was no important data on it. | 14:42 |
| nimdAHK | ah ok | 14:42 |
| nimdAHK | well then we have to be more careful | 14:42 |
| blazemore | nimdAHK: This is his fdisk -l and mount http://paste.ubuntu.com/5858496/ | 14:42 |

| blazemore | I haven't seen his fstab yet | 14:43 |
| lllsondowlll | MonkeyDust: I am aware the rate at which hardware evolves. However to this day if I were to order a wireless kb/mouse off of newegg or go to bestbuy the tech is still the same using wireless adapters. Bluetooth as efficent as it is, not everyone has it but newer laptops and even then for a desktop you must purchase the adapter seperately. | 14:43 |
| Dalek-Caan | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5858583/ < that is my fstab, blazemore | 14:43 |
| blazemore | ty Dalek-Caan I mssed it earlier | 14:43 |
| lllsondowlll | MonkeyDust: I just believe since Ubuntu 11 that this should have been fixed. | 14:43 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: you don't seem to have a sdb2 at all | 14:43 |
| nimdAHK | did you mean sdc1? | 14:44 |
| Dalek-Caan | I don't quite understand these terms, to be honest. | 14:44 |
| lllsondowlll | Thanks for the help anyway guys! I'll try back if I don't figure it out myself | 14:44 |
| pranay | This is my first time on IRC. I have little idea how this works. I needed some help though, my sudo iwlist scan gives "No scan results", everytime, no exception | 14:44 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: sd is the type of drive | 14:44 |
| nimdAHK | a, b, c, ... are physical drives | 14:44 |
| nimdAHK | and 1, 2, 3, ... are the partition numbers | 14:45 |
| Dalek-Caan | Oh, I see, nimdAHK | 14:45 |
| nimdAHK | try changing your mount command to point to /dev/sdc1 | 14:45 |
| nimdAHK | instead of /dev/sdb2 | 14:45 |
| Dalek-Caan | How do I do that, nimdAHK ? | 14:45 |
| nimdAHK | over here you pasted the output of a mount command | 14:46 |
| nimdAHK | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5858501/ | 14:46 |
| nimdAHK | use the same command, but change sdb2 to sdc1 | 14:46 |
| pranay | Can anyone help me, please? | 14:46 |
| nimdAHK | !dataja | 14:47 |
| nimdAHK | heh, wrong bot | 14:47 |
| nimdAHK | don't ask to ask, just ask, pranay | 14:47 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: where did you get that command? | 14:47 |
| Dalek-Caan | nimdAHK; What do you mean, which command? | 14:48 |
| nimdAHK | the mount command | 14:48 |
| Dalek-Caan | I'm not sure what you mean, what I did is "cat /etc/fstab" | 14:49 |
| nimdAHK | how did you get http://paste.ubuntu.com/5858501/ ? | 14:49 |
| Dalek-Caan | It shows up when I try to open the contents of "Data 2" which is my second data harddisk (the third harddisk in this system, internally) from "Files" or Explorer as I used to call it haha | 14:50 |
| nimdAHK | ah ok | 14:50 |
| Dalek-Caan | It does show the second harddisk as an icon in the left toolbar, but the button does not work though. | 14:51 |
| mahabal | thanks cfhowlett I'll look into it | 14:51 |
| nimdAHK | do you have a root password, Dalek-Caan ? | 14:51 |
| Dalek-Caan | Yes, I do, nimdAHK | 14:51 |
| nimdAHK | ok, open up a terminal | 14:51 |
| Dalek-Caan | Okay | 14:51 |
| raven | any tool to "convert" a speech audio file into a textfile? | 14:52 |
| cfhowlett | raven, you mean produce a transcript? | 14:52 |
| Dalek-Caan | What do I do next, nimdAHK ? | 14:53 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: I'm going to give you some commands. If you don't know them, google them, because a sudo command can be malicious | 14:53 |
| Dalek-Caan | nimdAHK; Will do! | 14:53 |
| nimdAHK | mkdir "/media/raymond/Data 2" | 14:53 |
| nimdAHK | hmm, let's do it all as sudo. Type "su" | 14:54 |
| === Troy__ is now known as Troy^ | ||
| Dalek-Caan | It says, "su: Authentication failure" nimdAHK | 14:55 |
| nimdAHK | did you type the correct password? | 14:55 |
| blazemore | Dalek-Caan: use "sudo -s" | 14:55 |
| raven | cfhowlett, a transcript yes | 14:55 |
| Dalek-Caan | Yes, it was the right password and what blazemore said, did work, I'm root now. | 14:56 |
| nimdAHK | great. | 14:56 |
| nimdAHK | mkdir "/media/raymond/Data 2" | 14:56 |
| Dalek-Caan | It does not output anything, but I did press "Enter" so I assume it did create that direction? | 14:57 |
| nimdAHK | yes | 14:57 |
| Dalek-Caan | Okay, then it's done. | 14:57 |
| cfhowlett | raven I'm unaware of one. that would entail speech recognition, transcription, etc. I'm quite willing to be proven wrong however | 14:57 |
| nimdAHK | mount -t ntfs /dev/sdc1 "/media/raymond/Data 2" | 14:57 |
| Dalek-Caan | nimdAHK; Mount is denied because the NTFS volume is already exclusively opened. | 14:58 |
| Dalek-Caan | The volume may be already mounted, or another software may use it which | 14:58 |
| Dalek-Caan | could be identified for example by the help of the 'fuser' command. | 14:58 |
| === jr_ is now known as JackRelish | ||
| nimdAHK | huh, ok... | 14:58 |
| Dalek-Caan | Should I use fuser? | 14:59 |

| JackRelish | Does anyone have a thorough knowledge of tc that would mind explaining some things? | 14:59 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: umount /dev/sdc1 | 15:00 |

| nimdAHK | wait | 15:00 |
| pranay_ | Can anyone help me with a wireless issue, iwlist scan gives "No scan results" everytime. | 15:00 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: don't run it yet, but umount is short for unmount | 15:01 |

| Paulo_neto | how i mount some file shared in other pc on new ubuntu 13.? i have instaled samba and when i can access with smb://[IP]/[directory] do erros | 15:07 |
| blazemore | I guess ntfsfix couldn't hurt, since if it isn't NTFS it's not gong to break it | 15:07 |
| nimdAHK | blazemore: SFS sounds like squash | 15:07 |

| nimdAHK | by "real" he means "Windows" | 15:10 |

| blazemore | I need to fix my "I" key | 15:11 |
| nimdAHK | Dalek-Caan: an actual Windows install is optimal, but if Hiren has "real" checkdisk, you can use that | 15:11 |

| zipy | can i mount acronis images? | 15:14 |
| zipy | i think acronis use dd doesnt it? | 15:14 |
| nimdAHK | zipy: how do you want to back it up? | 15:14 |
| nimdAHK | do you want to clone the whole partition? | 15:14 |
| Dalek-Caan | That, I am not sure of, anyways, got to go, be back later! | 15:14 |
| zipy | ye better whole partition | 15:15 |
| zipy | with mbr etc | 15:15 |
| zipy | i could dd the whole partition but it takes to mcuh space then | 15:15 |
| nimdAHK | you can use dd if you're extra careful | 15:15 |
| nimdAHK | oh I see, you want it compressed too? | 15:15 |
| zipy | all the freespace will go in the backup | 15:15 |
| zipy | i can mount dd too right? | 15:16 |
| mumpitzel | zipy: MBR is not part of any partition. and look at clonezilla | 15:16 |
| zipy | i have tried clonezille | 15:16 |
| zipy | i got some backups | 15:16 |
| nimdAHK | why not gzip it? | 15:16 |
| zipy | with it | 15:16 |
| zipy | ye i guess clonezilla did that | 15:16 |
| zipy | cuz i have files like | 15:16 |
| Pici | !enter | 15:16 |

| zipy | but if i want to mount them | 15:17 |

| Vec | Im setting up SAMBA that shares folders to windows clients. The windows user is in a group with full access to the file. However, i cant delete files even though the group the user is in has full access.. However, if i give root user which owns the file write access, then the windows user can delete the file. This leads me to believe that SAMBA uses rootuser to delete files or something | 15:36 |
| blazemore | the 7 in 7xx refers to "Owner of the file can do everything" | 15:36 |
| Vec | I found it weird that the windowsuser cannot delete his groups file even tho the group has full access and the user is a member. | 15:36 |
| Vec | So im stuck having to have 770 perms on all my shared files | 15:37 |
| Vec | blazemore: Excuse my lack of precision. "Is it ever bad for the owner of the file to have full access if the owner is root?" >..< | 15:37 |
| blazemore | It doesn't matter if the owner has full access if the owner is root | 15:38 |
| blazemore | Since root has full access anyway | 15:38 |
| blazemore | Vec: running "ls -l filename" will tell you the permissions and stuff | 15:39 |
| Vec | blazemore: Yeah i know >:| | 15:39 |
| blazemore | Vec: Find out what user samba runs as (Anybody in here know?) | 15:39 |

| blazemore | Vec: Yeah http://askubuntu.com/questions/1298/ubuntu-server-samba-running-as-root | 15:40 |
| blazemore | The problem is I don't *really* understand Samba | 15:41 |

| blazemore | Vec: I don't know enough to confirm or contradict you | 15:42 |

| Vec | MonkeyDust: A file, root is the owner. Then you set owner permissions on that file. Then you set roots perms to that file, ya? | 15:43 |
| X200 | blazemore: I'm ok with linux, I installed the dislocker driver and enabled the fuse mode. But I need some sort of key and I don't know where to get it. | 15:43 |
| X200 | I know the password for the drive but I need something in the form of a file. | 15:43 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec still not clear what you mean. what do you want to achieve? | 15:44 |
| blazemore | X200: type "man dislocker" to see usage | 15:45 |
| mstafa | hi i have a problem with the www folder i mess with the permissions and now i cant upload any file to it using sftp but i can see all files in it using command line but i cant delete any file from it help please >>> | 15:45 |
| Vec | MonkeyDust: I have a shared directory through SAMBA. The dir is owned by user=root and group=derpgroup. Perms are 070 on the dir and files beneath it. On my windows client i have a user that belongs to derpgroup, in other words that user should have FULL ACCESS to the directory and files beneath it. However, if i try to delete a file it says "file in use" (weird i know). But if i give the user | 15:46 |
| Vec | (root, in this case) FULL ACCESS then the windowsclient-user can delete files just fine. | 15:46 |
| thunkee | mstafa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 15:47 |
| mayankmadan | blazemore: i have a problem here | 15:47 |
| Vec | This leads me to believe that SAMBA runs as user root, and that the user root needs writeperms on the file to be able to get the file deleted. | 15:47 |
| mayankmadan | i have symlinked node to nodejs but still node wont run nodejs | 15:47 |
| Vec | MonkeyDust: However it does not make sense to me since the group has full perms and as such the windowsclient-user shoul have full perms to delete, but apparantly the file is "in use" (its not..) | 15:48 |
| blazemore | Vec: I can't think of a file that the user root doesn't have write permissions on. | 15:48 |
| X200 | blazemore: I did it, it says that I need some file.BEK to decrypt that volume. Do you know how to create such a file? | 15:48 |
| Vec | MonkeyDust: Its extra confusing because its "in use" and not"axx denied" | 15:48 |
| blazemore | Vec: I can't think how you could even achieve that | 15:48 |
| blazemore | X200: No I don't know. It seems you can use -p flag to give it a recovery password or something | 15:48 |
| Vec | blazemore: I dont understand how it works cus im new to this, but here goes: File x has 000 perms. owner is root. therefore root has 0 axx to file. | 15:48 |
| blazemore | Vec: root is special | 15:49 |
| blazemore | Vec: In a normal situation you'd be right | 15:49 |
| Vec | then user=root perms are useless? | 15:49 |
| MonkeyDust | Vec it confuses me too, samba means it involves windows and i'm not familiar with that | 15:49 |
| mayankmadan | i have symlinked node to nodejs but still node wont run nodejs | 15:49 |
| mayankmadan | any clues? | 15:49 |
| blazemore | mayankmadan: what's the output of "which node" | 15:49 |
| mayankmadan | /usr/sbin/node | 15:49 |
| Vec | MonkeyDust: It should all just be a question of proper user/groups & perms tbh.. I dont remember having this problem on previous installs.. Its sorta frustrating | 15:50 |
| mayankmadan | but i linked /usr/bin/node | 15:50 |
| X200 | blazemore: ohh, I don't know how I missed it. Thank you for your help. | 15:50 |
| mayankmadan | not usr/sbin/node | 15:50 |

| MonkeyDust | TheSov there's also #ubuntu-server | 15:59 |
| TheSov | MonkeyDust, thanks | 16:00 |
| schnuffle | TheSov: that's normally due to logrotate moving away the file handle that syslog still uses which leads to syslog not being able to write to it anymore | 16:00 |

| jgcampbell300 | hazardous, ya i have changed in both | 16:07 |
| cchivers | Sorry about the vague problem. | 16:07 |
| blazemore | jgcampbell300: You probably edited the wrong php.ini. See php_info() (or php -i for the cli interpreter) which one is used. For example on ubuntu (and probably other linux distributions) its /etc/php5/cli/php.ini for the cli-interpreter, /etc/php5/apache/php.ini/ for the one used by Apaches mod_php and /etc/php5/cgi/php.ini used by php5-cgi (which is used by nginx). | 16:07 |

| fwaokda | *port | 16:56 |
| holstein | !firewall | fwaokda | 16:56 |
| ubottu | fwaokda: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has firewall capabilities built-in. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | 16:56 |

| holstein | Antisober552: if it were my box, i would wire it up to internet, and apply all upgrades, then test | 16:57 |
| holstein | fwaokda: that could be anything, from virtualiztion configuration, to network configuration | 16:58 |
| Nero_ | I suggest u download the driver package from this link and configure the driver independently. http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ | 16:58 |
| holstein | fwaokda: i would disable firewalls to test, and make sure you can do the basics.. ping each other | 16:58 |

| Antisober552 | Umm wifi worked fine on xubuntu 13.04 then changed to lubuntu 13.04 it was working on first boot then i restarted the pc due to freezing after loosing wifi | 16:58 |
| fwaokda | holstein, well i've got the guest connecting to the host's ip | 16:58 |
| roasted | Question - if I install a new mainline kernel, I lose my wireless since broadcom STA is evidently not there. Is there a way I can get the system to somehow autocompile the driver automagically with ANY new kernel I add, even if it's not pushed from Ubuntu? | 16:58 |
| fwaokda | holstein, i'll try some more stuff thanks | 16:59 |
| holstein | Antisober552: they are both ubuntu.. so the issue could be the kernel versions, tus the driver support | 16:59 |
| === vivis is now known as vivisaji | ||
| Nero_ | roasted try this. http://wireless.kernel.org/download/compat-wireless-2.6/ | 16:59 |
| ikonia | roasted: kmod - but then why are you using the mainline kernel ? | 16:59 |
| Antisober552 | Not worked ever since i installed niswrapper to try and fix the freezing issues as i was told that the freezing problem is driver related | 16:59 |
| holstein | roasted: not that i know of.. depends on what is supported in the repos, and the mainline kernel wont be, so you are bascially asking to be on your own with that | 16:59 |
| ikonia | kmod is the answer | 17:00 |
| === olli_ is now known as olli | ||
| roasted | ikonia: I've been having lockup issues on the 3.8 kernel. In 3.8, the main thing that changed was some vsync changes on intel sandybridge GPUs, which is exactly what I have. My intention is to get off of 3.8 to see if it locks up there. | 17:00 |
| holstein | Antisober552: feel free and try the live CD, to remove your configuration from the equation.. could be you blacklisted something.. could be literally anything you copy/pasted in | 17:00 |
| roasted | ikonia: problem is, I can't swap this wireless chip because this laptop is a Lenovo, and Lenovo stupidly whitelists their wireless cards. Otherwise I'd put in an Intel, upgrade kernels, and call it a day. | 17:00 |
| ikonia | roasted: so surly just a one off test kernel and wireless build will work | 17:01 |
| Antisober552 | I installed the winxp driver for the card that was before having to restart the pc | 17:01 |
| ikonia | roasted: rather than different builds | 17:01 |
| roasted | ikonia: whenever I add the broadcom STA driver on the other kernel, it succeeds, says its active, but I reboot and... nothing. | 17:01 |
| ikonia | roasted: ok, so just build it for the kernel you want to use | 17:01 |
| roasted | ikonia: I'm not entirely sure where to start for that. I'm messing with Fedora now, and learned a bit with akmod vs kmod. I understand akmod auto-compiles itself against any new kernels. That got me wondering if I could get *that* with Ubuntu. | 17:02 |
| ikonia | roasted: I'd strongly suggest using kmod | 17:03 |
| roasted | ikonia: am I correct in understanding that kmod just compiles it against the current kernel I'm using, and won't work if I get a kernel update? | 17:03 |
| ikonia | roasted: yes, but for your situation, I feel it will work better as your module should be compatible across kernels and if it's not - you want to know, rather than akmod rebuild it and mask it | 17:04 |
| Antisober552 | The wifi is working on the live cd | 17:05 |
| roasted | ikonia: in regard to kmod, akmod, etc., are there broadcom-specific akmod/kmod packages? | 17:05 |
| ikonia | roasted: no | 17:05 |

| Guest29129 | yes, i added a line in fstab | 17:09 |
| ikonia | Guest29129: right, remove it | 17:09 |

| steveryherd | jrib, any clue why I got the problem? | 17:15 |
| * jrib sighs that his malicious root prank failed | 17:15 | |
| jrib | steveryherd: you probably used to have the version in /usr/bin installed, used it, your shell learned its location, then you removed it. hash -r resets your shells knowledge (see "help hash") | 17:16 |

| sporkeee | murrayuk, It doesn't in general. | 17:44 |
| kostkon | ohnoididitagain, yes | 17:44 |
| murrayuk | IT does. IF you are typing fast and using caps lock, it caps two letters instead of one like windows. | 17:45 |
| ohnoididitagain | kostkon: do you have a problem with it not starting up when you wae up ubuntu? It starts up when I turn on the OS but when I put it to sleep and then wake it up it doesn't work | 17:45 |
| mxo | any commands to first see running processes (and maybe memory usage) and to kill them after by name? | 17:45 |
| murrayuk | I've found a few threads on it but none with a solution.. | 17:46 |

| ubottu | vorlket, please see my private message | 18:19 |
| Erik_dc | I just installed Jack audio, and somehow its in german, anyone have a idea how to get it back to english? | 18:19 |
| ooxmoe | hi | 18:19 |
| ikonia | why did you install burg.... | 18:19 |
| sporkeee | Liam562, Ah that will do it can you get to the desktop? | 18:19 |
| Liam562 | No | 18:19 |
| ooxmoe | is lxde lighter and faster than xfce or the opposite? (i need one of them on a 686 pc) | 18:20 |
| kostkon | ooxmoe, lxde tends to be lighter than xfce | 18:20 |
| sporkeee | Liam562, The is a tool called bootrepair load ot to the live cd and run the basic fix, and save the url to the bootinfo summary to post if it is not fixed. | 18:20 |
| ooxmoe | kostkon: ok thanks | 18:21 |
| Liam562 | How do I get bootrepair | 18:21 |
| PeterGriffin | How to find out which device in /dev is my modem and which is the LAN card? Both PCI. | 18:21 |

| Liam562 | Thanks | 18:21 |

| ikonia | PeterGriffin: your lan card won't have an entry in /dev | 18:21 |
| mrvisser | has anyone had any success maintaining a mostly binary package in apt repos? | 18:22 |
| sporkeee | Liam562, Personally I do this from a chroot in the terminal, but the tools works quite well for many. | 18:22 |
| ikonia | mrvisser: why don't you ask the real question. | 18:22 |
| jcowan | I hosed my /etc/passwd file, and I'm configured for auto-login. How can I force Ubuntu to give me a root shell? | 18:23 |
| Liam562 | I can get to the terminal by booting from my usb and clicking try ubuntu? | 18:23 |
| BlueSquirrel | there's an application I want to run from unity, it's vidalia, and I was wondering how can I run a graphic application as root (I understand the risks of this) | 18:23 |
| ikonia | jcowan: boot into recovery mode | 18:23 |
| jcowan | How is that done? | 18:23 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: how are you launching it | 18:23 |
| ikonia | jcowan: select it from the boot menu | 18:23 |
| sporkeee | vorlket, Can you give details on this disc boot problem, is it a black screen, is it not booting at all? | 18:23 |
| randomnick_ | hi | 18:24 |
| jcowan | I don't get a boot menu, it just auto-starts. Sorry to be naive about this. | 18:24 |
| BlueSquirrel | what do you mean by how? I'm launching it from the unity launcher by clicking | 18:24 |
| randomnick_ | whats best twitter client? | 18:24 |
| viaSanctus | my post screen hung at "/dev/sda6 has been mounted 24 times .." | 18:24 |
| viaSanctus | what now? | 18:24 |
| mrvisser | well my project is in nodejs, and for my production build I'd like to not run "npm install". Instead I'd like to package it up on a PPA, so we can automate its deployment with puppet | 18:24 |
| ikonia | jcowan: I think it's left shift to get the boot menu | 18:24 |
| BlueSquirrel | is there a way to start the graphical interface thru the terminal? | 18:24 |
| kostkon | !best | randomnick_ | 18:24 |
| ubottu | randomnick_: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 18:24 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: right - so it shouldn't be run as root then | 18:24 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: it's a userspace application | 18:24 |
| jcowan | I was afraid it would be something like that ... I'll try. | 18:24 |
| PeterGriffin | ikonia: Why? Don't all devices have /dev entry? Anyway, so as there is something on /dev/ttyS0 it's the modem? | 18:24 |
| viaSanctus | thought that windows only hung randomly | 18:24 |
| sporkeee | BlueSquirrel, If this tor just use the bundle from them no root. | 18:24 |
| ikonia | PeterGriffin: lan cards don't | 18:24 |
| ikonia | Ontological: ttyS0 is probably your modem | 18:25 |
| mrvisser | the debuild process barfs that I have changed binaries in my package though when I try and upload a new version | 18:25 |
| BlueSquirrel | the problem is that vidalia tells me it can't find the tor executable file | 18:25 |
| BlueSquirrel | and it's pointing to it | 18:25 |
| BlueSquirrel | so I thought it was a permission issue | 18:25 |
| vorlket | i have a problem with booting from a hdd on which 12.04 desktop is installed. when i try to boot i get blank screen with a cursor blinking. i want to boot from the hdd. | 18:25 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: what evidence do you have ? | 18:25 |
| Psycho | can i link an ubuntu laptop with a kali linux laptop via wired network? | 18:25 |
| vorlket | sporkeee: yes | 18:25 |
| jcowan | ikonia: It starts faster than I can react | 18:25 |
| BlueSquirrel | that I know the file is there, however vidalia doesn't see it | 18:25 |
| ikonia | Psycho: yes | 18:25 |
| ikonia | jcowan: just hold down shift | 18:25 |
| sporkeee | BlueSquirrel, I would just use the bundle unpack it and pull the launcher where you need it. | 18:25 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: have you actually "looked" at the permissions ? | 18:25 |
| ehhh | hey guys, i'm expecting a new graphics card to arrive soon and just wondering if i should use the manufactures driver supplied on their website or if it's as easy as plug-and-play since i've already got a bunch of nvidia drivers installed? (from the additional drivers part . . ) | 18:26 |
| BlueSquirrel | yes I went to /usr/share/applications with nautilus as root and change the permissions to read and write for everyone | 18:26 |
| sporkeee | !nomodeset | vorlket be sure to use nicks here. | 18:26 |
| ubottu | vorlket be sure to use nicks here.: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:26 |
| ikonia | ehhh: what card is it ? does the vendor provide a linux driver on their website ? | 18:26 |
| BlueSquirrel | and the thing is taht I dont need the tor browser, I use tor with my pytho nscripts | 18:26 |
| BlueSquirrel | and it had worked before | 18:26 |
| viaSanctus | man linux sucks | 18:27 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: that is not where the binary is | 18:27 |
| viaSanctus | bugs all over | 18:27 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: do'nt use it then | 18:27 |
| BlueSquirrel | but something happened with my video card and i did a clean install | 18:27 |
| viaSanctus | i wish I could | 18:27 |
| viaSanctus | but this client has an ubuntu controller | 18:27 |
| BlueSquirrel | oh.. | 18:27 |
| ehhh | ikonia: it's a zotac geforce 610 2gb card, they supply a .run file for linux amd64 | 18:27 |
| viaSanctus | no way to get rid of it | 18:27 |
| sporkeee | !ot > viaSanctus | 18:27 |
| ubottu | viaSanctus, please see my private message | 18:27 |
| ikonia | ehhh: I'd advise you to use the package provided by ubuntu | 18:27 |
| viaSanctus | ? | 18:28 |
| viaSanctus | I asked a genuine question | 18:28 |
| sporkeee | viaSanctus, If you want help, state it this is not #ubuntu-rant. ;) | 18:28 |
| viaSanctus | my screen hung at a forced check | 18:28 |
| viaSanctus | my post screen hung at "/dev/sda6 has been mounted 24 times .." | 18:28 |
| ehhh | ikonia: so i'm pretty much set with the additional drivers that's already there? (i'm using the beta build currently for the built-in card) | 18:28 |
| BlueSquirrel | ikonia, sporkeee, where can I find the binary? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: it's not hung, it will take a long time to check | 18:28 |
| ikonia | ehhh: beta build ? | 18:28 |
| viaSanctus | it's on 4,5% for like an hour | 18:28 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: normally in /usr/bin | 18:28 |
| sporkeee | viaSanctus, Have you checked fstab? | 18:28 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: that's not a bad thing | 18:28 |
| Psycho | okay both laptops say wired connection 1 connected. What's the next step? | 18:28 |
| viaSanctus | sporkeee, read the "hung" part | 18:29 |
| ikonia | Psycho: give them IP's on the same network | 18:29 |
| viaSanctus | means = i can not check fstab | 18:29 |
| sporkeee | BlueSquirrel, Not sure ikonia is better help here, than myself. | 18:29 |
| ehhh | ikonia: i'm running xubuntu so there's about 5-6 choices of what driver to use, like nvidia-current, nvidia-experminetal-724 (or something along those lines), they're all selectable from the additional drivers section | 18:29 |
| defaultro_ | has anyone here used L7 filter on ubuntu? | 18:29 |
| viaSanctus | funny how no one reacts until you say "linux sucks" | 18:29 |
| ikonia | ehhh: tht's fine, so they are from the official ubuntu repos - no issue there then | 18:29 |
| Psycho | wait, both laptops say not connected | 18:29 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: I'll stop helping then | 18:30 |
| sporkeee | viaSanctus, You can look at fstab from a live cd. | 18:30 |
| ikonia | Psycho: have you assigned an IP address on the same network | 18:30 |
| viaSanctus | sporkeee, I'm at a client, forgot to bring my reanimate linux material | 18:30 |
| viaSanctus | in windows you reboot, period | 18:30 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: drop the smart attitude | 18:30 |
| Erik_dc | I just installed Jack audio, and somehow its in german, anyone have a idea how to get it back to english? | 18:30 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: if you want help - listen to the person helping, if you don't, please don't speak | 18:30 |
| ehhh | ikonia: cool, so it won't prove a problem to get it running atleast :) i'm nearly set with my pc so now all i need are some hardware upgrades and i'm loving this computer right now :P | 18:31 |
| ikonia | ehhh: can't see it being a problem | 18:31 |

| viaSanctus | ikonia, I just think there's nothing to be done | 18:31 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: ok, then you know better, don't ask for help | 18:31 |
| sporkeee | ;) | 18:31 |
| Rubas | viaSanctus: I have to agree with ikonia, drop the smart attitude. | 18:31 |
| BlueSquirrel | I changed the permissions for vidalia and tor and neither worked :'( | 18:31 |
| viaSanctus | want to know how i ran into this? First, my usb stick gave "A security policy in place prevents mounting of volumes" | 18:31 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: exactly what file did you change | 18:32 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: - no, don't need info, you said there is nothing more to be done, no more info needed | 18:32 |
| Psycho | msg ikonia how can i assign ip if it won't even show wired connection? | 18:32 |
| viaSanctus | so..I need to change "“/etc/dbus-1/system.d/hal.conf" | 18:32 |
| ikonia | Psycho: how are you trying to confiure it | 18:32 |
| ikonia | viaSanctus: don't need to hear about it | 18:32 |
| theupside | I need some help determining why my 12.04 LTS install keeps getting "System program problem detected" error ever time i log into my computer. I get two of them about 1 min after I login to my machine but not sure where to look to determine what is causing the issue. | 18:32 |
| theupside | Also, when i log out of my account i can see a number of error messages between clicking the logout button and returning to the login screen but not sure how to see what those messages are.... | 18:32 |
| theupside | Thanks | 18:32 |
| viaSanctus | but that gave the following bug: servicemenu for amarok has an invalid menu entry "addAsPodcast" | 18:32 |
| BlueSquirrel | ikonia, /usr/bin/vidalia and /usr/sbin/tor (wich is the one vidalia is point to, and points to by default) | 18:32 |
| Rubas | ikonia: You're not the only one here, maybe other people want to help him. | 18:32 |
| cekimogloy | Hey can someone help me figure out why I am getting "cannot create temp file for here document: Read-only file system" | 18:33 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: what's the actual error you're getting | 18:33 |
| ikonia | Rubas: there is nothing more to be done - we've been told, | 18:33 |
| BlueSquirrel | ikonia, Vidalia was unable to start Tor. Check your settings to ensure the correct name and location of your Tor executable is specified. | 18:33 |
| ikonia | cekimogloy: what are you doing | 18:33 |
| tecnico | Hello, could anybody running the latest ubuntu tell me if you have adobe-courier fonts? ( xlsfonts |grep adobe-courier ) | 18:33 |
| viaSanctus | so in the end I though "why not reboot" | 18:33 |
| Psycho | msg ikonia connected via network cable. both went through the cycle of trying to connect wired connection 1, but then both went to no wired connection even though wired connection 1 is still shown as an option | 18:33 |
| viaSanctus | then the whole thing died | 18:33 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: ok, so manually try to start Vidalia see what happens. | 18:33 |
| viaSanctus | yay for ubuntu | 18:33 |
| cekimogloy | ikonia: it happens for anything. Right now If I just try and tab and finish a pathway I get it | 18:33 |
| cekimogloy | ikonia: or if I try and sudo apt-get update | 18:34 |
| ikonia | Psycho: ok, they tried to get a dhcp address (but didn't as there is no dhcp server) so assign an ip address | 18:34 |
| jcowan | ikonia: Trying to hold down shift, but I can't do it fast enough still. I am now not getting to auto-login, instead I get the startup message "mount: mount 10.0.2.3 does not exist" | 18:34 |
| kostkon | Psycho, is it a crossover cable? | 18:34 |
| ikonia | cekimogloy: ok, so it's probably had a file system error and gone into read-only mode | 18:34 |
| viaSanctus | so you come to ubuntu and get some whining kid yell "i dont want to hear about it"...yay for ubuntu support | 18:34 |
| Rubas | ikonia: Yes. But helping him, will get him to use Ubuntu more often, by this - he might relize that it aint this bad, as he imagines. He might see the light. | 18:34 |
| Psycho | msg kostkon no | 18:35 |
| * viaSanctus wonders when he'll get banned | 18:35 | |
| sporkeee | tecnico, Yes in 13.04 but I installed the restricted extras, it might be part of the ms-fonts part of that load. | 18:35 |
| BlueSquirrel | what do you mean by manually? as a root thru the terminal? | 18:35 |
| ikonia | Rubas: not interested if he uses ubuntu or not, that's up to him | 18:35 |
| kostkon | Psycho, there. you can't connect them then | 18:35 |

| cekimogloy | ikonia: it may be worth mentioning i rebooted earlier and it said the "/" was not avaialbe. I had to reboot a few times. | 18:35 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel: just launch it from the terminal as a normal user | 18:35 |
| tecnico | thanks sporkeee | 18:35 |
| Psycho | msg ikonia set in ipv4? | 18:35 |
| ikonia | cekimogloy: sounds like your disk is having a problem. | 18:35 |

| sporkeee | theupside, Ah, are you updated? Others may be more helpful here. | 18:37 |
| BlueSquirrel | ikonia, what do you recommend I do? | 18:37 |
| ikonia | BlueSquirrel:....look at the permissions on those files.... | 18:38 |
| theupside | sporkeee , yes fully updated | 18:38 |
| sparr | Does the Update Manager differentiate between security and non-security updates? | 18:38 |

| sporkeee | sparr, Ubuntu does separate those in general. | 18:40 |
| sparr | sporkeee: I know the notifications are separate, but once notified is there a way to say "install just security updates"? | 18:40 |
| theupside | sporkeee: only thing i see is messages that pop up for a second when logging out of my account and returning to the login screen but not sure how to view those..... | 18:40 |
| sporkeee | sparr, Not a good idea anyway, you can lock apps if that is your goal. | 18:41 |
| BlueSquirrel | I did but they seem to have permission granted | 18:41 |
| BlueSquirrel | :/ | 18:41 |

Also, when i log out of my account i can see a number of error messages between clicking the logout button and returning to the login screen but not sure how to see wh | 18:55 |

| varunendra | uminded, then purge the sta driver - "sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source" | 18:57 |
| varunendra | uminded, reboot or do - "sudo modprobe b43" - wifi should be up. | 18:57 |

| BlueSquirrel | ikonia, I tried running the tor browser, now I get another message that hints something, it says that tor is not owned by my username | 19:04 |
| wheatthin | I find tor browser totally annoying.. just install privoxy with torsocks and be done | 19:05 |
| BlueSquirrel | ikonia, I changed the owner of it and it worked, but now it says that I don't own the directory under home that has tor data | 19:06 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, which owner did you give tor browser? | 19:07 |
| BlueSquirrel | it has root | 19:07 |
| uminded | Venezuela: no sdcard on my phone and no wifi on the laptop. This really is not working | 19:07 |

| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, don't ever use a browser as root | 19:07 |
| BlueSquirrel | ikonia, im going to try to go in as root and change it to me as the owner | 19:07 |
| BlueSquirrel | ikonia, I didn't i dont know why it's set that way | 19:08 |

| IdleOne | seck: contact Canonical, you can find contact info on canonical.com | 19:12 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, I think I fixed the browser, it runs now | 19:12 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, vidalia isn't tho | 19:13 |
| varunendra | uminded, that package is just 4 MB, you should have enough internal memory to store that much. | 19:13 |
| varunendra | uminded, then you may use usb or BT connection to transfer that. | 19:13 |
| jakechapa | is it possible to get source-code from apt-get? I'm trying to get the mysql 5.5.31 server source code that my package manager isntalled. | 19:13 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, the way I have mine setup, is I installed privoxy and torsocks, and everything just works after I configure privoxy to use tor | 19:13 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, then you can use whatever browser you want | 19:13 |
| ehhh | does SSD's need fan cooling or are they silent/cool by nature ? | 19:14 |
| uminded | I do but the latest android removed mass storage as a friggin usb option. Only media and picture mode. Might be because I have no sd card installed | 19:14 |
| genii | jakechapa: apt-get source <packagename> will download it to the directory you call that from | 19:14 |
| BlueSquirrel | yeah I mean I had it set up well and I could run my python scripts to use tor no problem, but I had to do a fresh isntall of ubuntu so I'm trying to get it to work again :/ | 19:14 |

| rubas938 | ehhh: will pm you. | 19:16 |
| k1l_ | !webmin | tgunr | 19:16 |
| ubottu | tgunr: webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. | 19:16 |

| Vec | Guys. I now have my home server setup exactly like i want it to, but i got hooked on learning linux and i now want to set up a webserver. However, i dont want to derp around with the server as i've set it up now, and my plan is to install virtualbox, create a virtual ubuntu server and run the LAMP stack on that virtual server. Is this 'easily' doable via only commandline, or should a novice | 19:16 |
| Vec | like me install some lighweight GUI like LXDE and use the VirtualBox GUI while setting up the virtual machine? | 19:16 |
| varunendra | uh, linux (read "android") is smart ! :/ | 19:16 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, yeah running tor as service is automatically ran by root. but you don't have to be root to use the utilize the service after it's been running | 19:16 |
| wheatthin | to utilize the service* | 19:17 |
| tgunr | ah, didn;t know that, is there a 'admin' package that is similar? | 19:17 |
| varunendra | uminded, can't you connect the phone as a modem? | 19:17 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, however, I don't believe vidalia (for linux) is bundled with a caching proxy | 19:18 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, yeah I was running tor thru terminal and then tried to run my script and tor told me I didnt have privoxy, which is weird cause I thought I did | 19:19 |
| mojtaba | Hi, Does anybody know what is the IRC channel for the thunderbird? | 19:19 |
| uminded | Any idea how? I usually wifi teather | 19:19 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, privoxy doesn't come with tor browser for linux | 19:19 |
| titta2 | how to know how much storage space is available for the guest session? | 19:20 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, so If that's what you're looking for, you don't need vidalia as a launcher.. uninstall it, and install torsocks, and privoxy | 19:21 |
| tgunr | Maybe a better question is, "How to remotely administer ubuntu server?" | 19:21 |
| wheatthin | tgunr, through ssh | 19:21 |
| zipy_ | BlueEagle, http://uckanleitungen.de/tor-privoxy/linux/ this worked for me privoxy connected to tor | 19:21 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, I have both of them installed tho, I just checked in the synaptic | 19:21 |
| zipy_ | its in german tho but all u need is to run the steps | 19:21 |
| tgunr | thats not much of a solution for multiple servers | 19:21 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, and what do you have your browser setup to use tho? | 19:22 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, how can I check? | 19:22 |
| wheatthin | tgunr, you didn't ask for multiple servers, you asked to remotely administer ubuntu server. | 19:22 |
| varunendra | uminded, if you have an alternate way to connect the phone (via usb?), it should be able to connect in "DUN" or "Modem" mode. If so, Ubuntu will detect it as a modem and a wizard will become available in NM to configure it. | 19:22 |
| tgunr | Maybe a better question is, "How to remotely administer ubuntu servers?" | 19:22 |
| zipy_ | over ssh | 19:23 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, by the way this is what tor says: Jul 09 15:22:47.000 [warn] Your application (using socks5 to port 80) is giving Tor only an IP address. Applications that do DNS resolves themselves may leak information. Consider using Socks4A (e.g. via privoxy or socat) instead. For more information, please see https://wiki.torproject.org/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ#SOCKSAndDNS. | 19:23 |
| tgunr | thats not much of a solution for multiple servers | 19:23 |
| titta2 | how to know how much storage space is available for the guest session? | 19:23 |
| varunendra | uminded, you originally said - "wlan0 is NOW eth1.." Are you sure it wasn't earlier?? | 19:23 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, yes, tor should be running on port 9050 from 127.0.0.1 | 19:23 |
| titta2 | i remember it being quite small.... | 19:24 |
| zipy_ | titta2, why dont u just rightclick preferences in guests home folder | 19:24 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, it is but not 9050, it's 9151 | 19:25 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, oh wait, that might be the problem... | 19:25 |
| titta2 | ok thank you... that was easy... :) | 19:25 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, you'll need to change it to 9050 | 19:25 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, my program is trying to go thru 9050 | 19:25 |
| zipy_ | u can setup the port in privoxy port in the config | 19:25 |
| zipy_ | i think 3400 or 8118 is the port | 19:25 |
| zipy_ | default | 19:25 |
| === sins_x is now known as sins | ||
| wheatthin | privoxy's default is 8118 | 19:26 |
| Estrobeda | hello folks what a wonderful day =D | 19:27 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, I cant change it gives me an error | 19:27 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, so if you have privoxy installed, you'll want to edit the privoxy.conf and change it to use 127.0.0.1:8118 Or your internalIP:8118, and scroll down and make sure you have it forwarding to 127.0.0.1:9050 | 19:27 |

| wheatthin | if you want to check, ps aux | grep tor | 19:32 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, aight, I closed the browser, I stopped the service, did a ps aux |grep tor, found the process, and killed it | 19:34 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, there should be no tor open | 19:34 |
| mojtaba | www.artterest.com | 19:34 |

| BlueSquirrel | aight it opened in the terminal | 19:35 |
| teratoma | I think Unity might have a memory leak. I do not have consistent records of ps to prove it though. compiz would always be the biggest memory hog. I installed the x edgers ppa yesterday, and that appears to have fixed my problem | 19:35 |

| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, what do I do to it | 19:35 |
| murrayuk | Hey, I had a problem with an application and after a bit of googling I found someone that seemed to have fixed it but I'm not really sure how to apply a .patch file... can anyone give me a hand? | 19:35 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, indeed | 19:35 |
| uminded | Varunendra: it might have been eth1 all along. Why did it just stop working? | 19:36 |
| wheatthin | you'll make sure that server = 127.0.0.1 | 19:36 |

| BlueSquirrel | is that the one I change | 19:37 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, yes, change that to 127.0.0.1 | 19:37 |
| varunendra | uminded, can't say about that, but did you at any point choose to "accept" a driver proposed by "Additional Driver" dilogue lately? | 19:38 |

| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, then you'll edit your /etc/privoxy/conf | 19:40 |
| uminded | Varunendra: nope, just the usual ipdates luke firefox | 19:40 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, sudo nano /etc/privoxy/conf | 19:40 |

| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, that's fine, just making sure everything is good | 19:41 |
| wheatthin | yes, uncomment it | 19:41 |
| varunendra | uminded, for just a test, check yourself - "ls /lib/firmware/b*" -- does something show up (basically, is "b43" directory there?) | 19:41 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, aight! (thanks for the help by the way) | 19:42 |

| tecnico | looking at the output of 'xlsfonts' do you know how to pinpoint the package that provided that font? | 19:43 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, what do I check for? | 19:43 |
| teratoma | xangua: xorg edgers. did i do something bad | 19:43 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, you'll go where it says "listen-address localhost:8118" | 19:43 |
| xangua | teratoma: on what ubuntu release¿¿ no i was just curious...a long time since i tried that ppa | 19:44 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, ok found it | 19:45 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, once you find that, change it to "listen-address <yourinternalip>:8118 | 19:45 |
| teratoma | xangua: raring | 19:45 |
| wheatthin | remember to switch <yourinternalip> to what it actually is | 19:45 |
| wheatthin | without brackets | 19:46 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, by internal ip, you mean jsut my ip address? | 19:46 |
| xangua | teratoma: gonna try it :D | 19:46 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, yes for instance mine is 192.168.0.2 | 19:46 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, so it'll look like "listen-address 192.168.0.2:8118" | 19:47 |

| xangua | uminded: what ubuntu release are you using¿ my android phone mounts the sd with mtp with no problems | 19:48 |
| uminded | varunendra: any ways I installed that package and purged the kernel sources. /proc/modules says "b43 379088 0 - Live 0x0000000000000000" | 19:48 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, isnt that the external? | 19:48 |
| guntbert | BlueSquirrel: not that one | 19:48 |
| wheatthin | no, that's an internal | 19:48 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, ok ok hold on | 19:48 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, ifconfig eth0 should tell ya | 19:49 |
| uminded | xangua: galaxy s4, and I dont have an sd card so the mtp mounts some ghosted copy of the internal sd structure but with no files visible... its an odd bug | 19:49 |
| varunendra | uminded, if you just installed the firmware, you'll need to remove, then reload the b43 module - "sudo modprobe -rfv b43" == > "sudo modprobe -v b43" | 19:49 |
| uminded | varunendra: but ifconfig does not list anything besides eth0 and lo | 19:49 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, aight done | 19:49 |
| wheatthin | alrighty, then scroll further down, until you come to section 5.2 | 19:50 |
| wheatthin | and uncomment forward-socks5 / 127.0.0.1:9050 . | 19:50 |
| uminded | varunendra: yay wlan0 is back | 19:51 |
| varunendra | uminded, as long as a driver is not binded with an interface, it is not usable, so ifconfig won't show it. | 19:51 |

| acron^ | So, I think this is a general linux question. I am attempted to delete a hidden file using 'sudo rm filename' except it's simply having no effect; the file is never removed. What could this be? | 20:07 |
| acron^ | am attempting* | 20:07 |
| wheatthin | acron^, is it telling you permission denied? | 20:07 |
| acron^ | No, no error message | 20:07 |

| acron^ | genii: nope, same time | 20:09 |
| acron^ | wheatthin: Ah, what's a mountpoint? | 20:10 |
| adillian | Hi | 20:10 |
| BlueSquirrel | wheatthin, so my script use to have a connection with tor that sent a signal "NEWNYM" to tor to change the ip address, I have no idea how to do that now | 20:10 |
| wheatthin | acron^, it's where Fuse tries to mount a partition | 20:10 |
| wheatthin | BlueSquirrel, it'll change randomly every so often | 20:11 |
| acron^ | wheatthin: :( sounds bad. I'm just trying to do svn cleanup.... | 20:11 |
| wheatthin | acron^, just make sure your have whatever partition you have mounted with fuse (you can check under 'mount' command' | 20:13 |
| jay | anyway to install Ubuntu with out a CD rom drive in the PC ? | 20:13 |
| wheatthin | to unmount it before the svn cleanup | 20:13 |
| jay | in windows 7 | 20:13 |
| wheatthin | jay, you can use wubi, although that'll make it dualboot | 20:14 |
| jay | yeah i want it to duel boot | 20:14 |
| wheatthin | jay, or you can use dd, or a number of other utilities to "burn" the iso image to a usb drive | 20:14 |

| dllama | hi guys, i'm having a ton of issues installing a ruby gem "RedCloth" on ubuntu 12.04 — in the rails related rooms, i was told that it could be related more to ubunuty than ruby. | 20:14 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | Is it safe to install kernels manually from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.9-rc8-raring/ for Raring 13.04? | 20:15 |
| wheatthin | KyouReeUs4nfo, you can, but it's not supported | 20:15 |
| k1l_ | wubi is not compatible with newer windows and is very hard to support and doesnt offer that speed and feeling of a native install | 20:15 |
| acron^ | wheatthin: okay, i see the mount on /dev/sda4 - how do I unmount/remount? | 20:15 |
| Quest | I dont see a software running in processes but when i start that software, it says ts already running, how can i be sure? | 20:15 |
| iceroot | KyouReeUs4nfo: you may not get security updates and it is not supported, also ppas are normally not a trusted source like the main repos | 20:16 |
| wheatthin | acron^, just sudo umount /media/mountpoint or whereever the mount point is located | 20:16 |
| iceroot | Quest: maybe there is just a lock-file still alive | 20:16 |
| Quest | iceroot, how can i be sure. the software is truecrypt | 20:17 |
| acron^ | if i unmount it though....how will i be able to access the directory?? | 20:17 |
| wheatthin | acron^, it's temporary.. it can be remounted, you just want to see if that file goes away when you unmount it | 20:17 |
| acron^ | wheatthin: Ok...I trust you | 20:18 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | wheatthin and iceroot, thanks. I would like to know which is current supported version from main repos. I am running 3.8.0-25. | 20:18 |

| acron^ | wheatthin: acron@Fenixbuntu /m/a/p/P/TVQuiz> sudo umount /media/acron/projects | 20:18 |

| wheatthin | and try again | 20:19 |
| genii | Or close a file browser that might be open and looking at something under that hierarchy | 20:19 |
| iceroot | KyouReeUs4nfo: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get the latest kernel security fixes | 20:19 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | thanks again, for some reason when I do sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade it is not upgrading | 20:19 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | I would like to add that I purged that version once | 20:20 |
| iceroot | KyouReeUs4nfo: you only need "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" | 20:20 |
| PashaPasta | KyouReeUs4nfo: try doing "apt-get -y upgrade....." | 20:20 |
| iceroot | KyouReeUs4nfo: what is the output of "sudo apt-get update && apt-cache policy linux-image-generic | 20:20 |
| wheatthin | brb medication time | 20:20 |
| iceroot | PashaPasta: upgrade will not upgrade the kernel | 20:20 |
| PashaPasta | iceroot: that's what the ........... was for :) | 20:21 |
| varunendra | PashaPasta, never knew "......." is another meta package for kernel image.... lol ! | 20:22 |

| eroeurbano | I am looking for help with Ubuntu 12.04 and my Kindle 4 | 21:42 |
| holstein | johan`: sounds like you have a different issue altogther.. can you reboot and tell me exactly what the issue is? sudo reboot from a prompt will do | 21:42 |
| eroeurbano | it doesn't get recognized anymore | 21:42 |
| eroeurbano | and I can't manage to mount it | 21:42 |

| holstein | eroeurbano: im not sure where kindle support is, but ubuntu 12.04 support is here.. when did it stop "showing up"? and what do you want it to do? | 21:42 |
| johan` | holstein: The problem would be solved by rebooting. Hm, I think I'm wasting your time more than I should. Thank you for your help, I'll just reboot. | 21:42 |
| eroeurbano | Hi Johan, it is an issue with Ubuntu not mounting the device | 21:43 |
| eroeurbano | I think that somehow I corrupted the filesystem | 21:43 |
| holstein | eroeurbano: on the kindle? | 21:43 |
| eroeurbano | yes holstein | 21:43 |
| eroeurbano | thanks for the help (sorry I got the name confused) | 21:44 |
| holstein | eroeurbano: i would do normal troubleshooting.. see if its showing in "fdisk -l" or where ever you want to look | 21:44 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | jacta: please explain what you are trying to do. | 21:44 |
| eroeurbano | thanks holstein I don't know normal troubleshooting that's why I am here | 21:44 |
| eroeurbano | I'll try fdisk right now :) | 21:45 |
| gms__ | varunendra: sorry. I was away from keyboard for a while. Thank you for your help. I'm gonna dig the links you shared | 21:45 |
| varunendra | np :) | 21:45 |
| gms__ | :) | 21:45 |
| holstein | eroeurbano: so you see it in a filemanager? what are the errors, if so.. does the device work otherwise? | 21:46 |
| jacta | KyouReeUs4nfo: I try to get transmission-daemon to work, it says Access Denied for that folder | 21:46 |
| varunendra | gms__, if that works better, and you wish to 'Pin' the version (so it doesn't get updated with normal updates), take a look at "man apt_preferences" (or just search an example on net) | 21:46 |

| sarkie_ | hi all, I have been getting an error message on start up, "Could not apply the stored configuration for monitors" I have therefore created an xrandr script to run at start up, but I think its wrong, since it "works" but all my games act odd. Since I am running two screens, full screen either spans both my monitors or a 1/3 of one depending on the game. Any help would be appreciated. I am running an ATI 4850 with xorg edgers. (same happened without edge | 21:47 |
| sarkie_ | st thought it might help) http://pastebin.com/UhtQLctN | 21:47 |
| eroeurbano | holstein: it doesn't show up in nautilus; the device seems to work fine (but the troubles started a few days ago: when it was connected to my laptop it suddenly rebooted and all the content was gone) | 21:47 |
| gms__ | varunendra: I didn't get it. Using an older generic means no regular updates? | 21:47 |
| holstein | eroeurbano: that would be not "fine".. | 21:48 |
| varunendra | gms__, updates tend to replace packages with latest versions, while the latest in your case is not the greatest. That's why we need to hold (only) that one back. | 21:48 |
| eroeurbano | holstein: I know.. but now it works fine.. I think the USB port of the computer I had it connected is defective (a lot of devices don't work there) | 21:48 |
| eroeurbano | can I post the output of fdisk? | 21:49 |
| MonkeyDust | eroeurbano use pastebin | 21:49 |
| eroeurbano | thanks MonkeyDust | 21:49 |
| holstein | eroeurbano: ? then dont use it. that does sound plausible | 21:49 |
| gms__ | varunendra: oh I see. That's a clear explanation. Alright, so I need to check out apt_preferences right | 21:49 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | jacta: are you configuring transmission-daemon for a remote use? | 21:49 |
| varunendra | gms__, by pinning a package, you tell apt to NOT upgrade that particular package. Rest of the updates will be normal (and you can always "unpin" a package) | 21:49 |
| varunendra | gms__, only if it proves to work better :P | 21:50 |
| eroeurbano | now I am on my laptop (that works) and would like to get the Kindle mounted again... | 21:50 |
| gms__ | varunendra: :D Okay. I'll give a shot right now | 21:50 |

| KyouReeUs4nfo | jacta: apparently 777 is required for that directory | 22:12 |
| varunendra | gms__, try the native one - "sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source", then - "sudo modprobe brcmsmac". See if it lets you connect. I hope it should. | 22:12 |

| sporkeee | do* | 22:15 |
| varunendra | gms__, given the unique nature of your problem (same behaviour with all three drivers), yes, it may be an external factor. Or something other than the driver. | 22:16 |
| jjavaholic | external Drive doesn't show up in gparted | 22:16 |

| trism | autojack: you can of course have multiple ppas, if that's what you mean | 22:20 |
| Franklin | I am just looking for a device manager to see the connected hardware | 22:20 |
| autojack | trism: when I look at http://ppa.launchpad.net/nginx/stable/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nginx/ I see several versions. | 22:21 |
| gms__ | varunendra: Firewall stopped and disabled on system startup | 22:21 |
| holstein | Franklin: there are plently, but what we use mostly is "lspci" or "lsusb" in the terminal, since its included by default | 22:21 |
| varunendra | gms__, can you connect now? | 22:21 |
| holstein | !info gnome-device-manager | 22:22 |
| ubottu | Package gnome-device-manager does not exist in raring | 22:22 |
| sporkeee | autojack, Its probably a dependency issue in some cases, your chasing a unanswerable question overall to some extent due to the size and amount of ppa's and packages. ;) | 22:22 |
| holstein | Franklin: ^^ that one is not in 13.04 | 22:22 |
| varunendra | gms__, I think you may try either versions of the wl driver now if the native one (brcmsmac) doesn't work. | 22:22 |
| trism | autojack: I only see one version, but for each ubuntu release | 22:22 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | mapbaker: are you looking to find index node of a file? | 22:22 |
| autojack | trism: yeah the Node guy has multiple PPAs, but it's annoying for production use because if I point boxes at PPA x, and he uploads a new version, then all new systems in my production environment silently get a different version from what I was using before. | 22:22 |
| hfguy | can anyone help me install ubuntu 13.04 32 bit? I am able to successfully install 13.04 64 bit but when i try to install the the 32 bit version i get a "stopping mount network filesystems" error right before the ubuntu installer menu asks me to choose my disk size. | 22:22 |
| holstein | hfguy: why not use the 64bit version? | 22:22 |
| autojack | nginx-common_1.0.14-1ppa1~precise_all.deb and nginx-common_1.4.1-1ppa1~precise_all.deb ? | 22:23 |
| hfguy | i have a software package that was specically designed for 32 bit an it unfortunately does not work on the 64 bit version. | 22:24 |
| sporkeee | hfguy, Have you summed the ISO? | 22:24 |
| holstein | hfguy: it should... i run a 32bit only app in 64but ubuntu 12.04 and it was quite easy to setup | 22:24 |

| hfguy | what do you mean by 'summed' | 22:25 |
| trism | autojack: hmm | 22:25 |
| holstein | Franklin: correct.. the application is not in 13.04.. there is no "gnome-device-manager" in 13.04 | 22:25 |
| autojack | trism: maybe I should ask the nginx guys how they do it :) | 22:25 |

| sporkeee | autojack, Just a guess, but with dependencies involved in apps and packages, there may be apps that have to be limited in versions to curb breakage. | 22:25 |
| k1l_ | autojack: the PPAs are 3rd party. they are not managed by ubuntu. better contact the maintainer of that PPA for questions about their packages | 22:26 |
| trism | autojack: yeah that's weird, might try #launchpad | 22:26 |

| gms__ | varunendra: sorry. I'll be back very soon | 22:37 |
| holstein | cortexman: could be failing for any reason.. kernel version, alsa version.. could be failing a check at boot, that you are able to force it to bypass by loading manually.. at some point, i would probably just add it to startup | 22:37 |

| holstein | !fdisk | 22:38 |
| Franklin | Which device manager is similar to gnome-device-manager and works under ubuntu 13.04 ? | 22:38 |
| holstein | !fsck | 22:39 |
| ubottu | fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot | 22:39 |
| cortexman | varunendra, those instructions didn't work without the manual compile | 22:39 |
| holstein | there is is :) | 22:39 |
| ikonia | fsck is NOT chkdisk | 22:39 |
| ikonia | it should not be used in place of chkdsk | 22:39 |
| ikonia | it should not be used on NTFS partitions at all | 22:39 |
| cortexman | varunendra: can you do modprobe snd-dummy ; modprobe snd-pcm-oss ; modprobe snd-mixer-oss ; modprobe snd-seq-oss on your system | 22:39 |
| cortexman | anyways what's a good way to run these modprobe commands manually on startup? | 22:40 |
| jjavaholic | how can you modprobe on boot? | 22:40 |
| cortexman | supposedly via /etc/modules | 22:41 |
| ikonia | it does it automatcially | 22:41 |
| varunendra | cortexman, those '-oss' drivers are not default. Probably that's why you needed that guide. | 22:41 |
| jjavaholic | what should I find in ./etc/modules? | 22:41 |
| ikonia | jjavaholic: what are you trying to do ? | 22:41 |
| KyouReeUs4nfo | cortexman: I ran into similar issue with my ethernet driver and I followed this link to get it to load on boot, it may help you http://unixblogger.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/the-pain-of-an-realtek-rtl8111rtl8168-ethernet-card/ | 22:42 |

| jjavaholic | yes | 22:43 |
| ikonia | jjavaholic: or did something happen to stop it working | 22:43 |
| jjavaholic | I would like to say it happened with 13.04 but I suspect it happened once I had added all the ppa and added some more. | 22:44 |
| varunendra | cortexman, you can run custom commands at startup by adding them in "etc/rc.local" file. But that is not recommended when more elegant methods like "/etc/module" are available. | 22:44 |
| cortexman | varunendra: /etc/modules (one module name per line only) and /etc/modules.conf and /etc/modprobe.conf (with the syntax `modprobe modname`, one per line) and /etc/modprobe.d/alsa_dummy (modprobe modname) | 22:45 |
| ikonia | I suspect if it's not loading intel modules, there is something more serious wrong | 22:45 |
| cortexman | never saw anything in dmesg, tried updating initramfs multiple times | 22:45 |
| ikonia | something causing a conflict | 22:45 |
| cortexman | works from the command line | 22:45 |
| ikonia | yes, that's what worries me | 22:45 |
| === root is now known as Guest88311 | ||
| Guest88311 | sup | 22:46 |
| jjavaholic | which is the best method? | 22:46 |
| varunendra | cortexman, please show us (pastebin links) of only the relevant lines in those files. And only /etc/modules should've been enough. | 22:46 |
| HankMccoy | is it a browser thingy? | 22:46 |
| soares | oii | 22:47 |
| HankMccoy | i'm using firefox | 22:47 |
| cortexman | varunendra: http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=7y6LMxFY | 22:47 |
| varunendra | cortexman, may be you can cat the relevant lines in one output and give us one link to them all. | 22:47 |
| l3d | fyi on removing a added luncher on the panel in gnome classic hold alt then right click | 22:49 |
| HankMccoy | Ok how about XChat support instead of Ubuntu help??? | 22:50 |
| cortexman | welp i'm pretty tired of this so i think i'm going with manual modprobes in /etc/rc.local | 22:50 |
| cortexman | HankMccoy: i use Adium. for the most part any popular software you use has an irc channel | 22:51 |
| ikonia | as does xchat, the #xchat channel...shock horror | 22:51 |
| varunendra | cortexman, I see something weird in your previous reply.. wait.. | 22:51 |
| adillian | Just installed Ubuntu 12 on a virtualbox on windows 7, and after logging in for the first time it's given me a terminal but no gui | 22:52 |
| varunendra | cortexman, except for /etc/modules, I think you have manually created the other files, and there may be a conflict/confusing situation. | 22:52 |
| Guest88311 | anyone there | 22:52 |
| adillian | how do I make x11 start again? if it's configured | 22:52 |
| cortexman | varunendra: unfortunately not. i always nuke the other files before moving to a new one | 22:52 |
| HankMccoy | so Adium would not have the same problems as XChat??? | 22:53 |
| cortexman | i switched from xchat to adium. not sure what probs your having. | 22:53 |
| ikonia | depends what the provlems are | 22:53 |
| k1l_ | !details | HankMccoy | 22:53 |
| jjavaholic | cortexman: I think I was able to work out what I needed to add to /etc/modules given your pastebin thanks., | 22:53 |
| ubottu | HankMccoy: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:53 |
| varunendra | cortexman, so is the /etc/modules file the only one now? Because 'especially' the one in /etc/modprobe.d was in a wrong place. | 22:53 |
| evilbug | i've created a bootable usb stick for an eeepc with 8.04 and i keep getting stuck on "not detecting" cd-rom. anyone have experience with this issue? | 22:53 |
| cortexman | jjavaholic: glad my woes were not for naught | 22:53 |
| HankMccoy | I could not connect to http://searchirc.com/irc-politics-1 | 22:53 |
| ikonia | because it's a website | 22:53 |
| ikonia | not a chat channel | 22:53 |
| ikonia | it's like saying xchat won't connect to www.google.com | 22:54 |
| jjavaholic | I'll know for sure the next time I need to boot. | 22:54 |
| HankMccoy | said I needed plugin's so Adium is better? | 22:54 |
| ikonia | no | 22:54 |
| cortexman | HankMccoy: none of those rooms have very many people in them. | 22:54 |
| cortexman | except ##politics | 22:54 |
| cortexman | just type /join #politics | 22:54 |
| k1l_ | HankMccoy: xchat doesnt need a plugin for connecting to channels | 22:54 |
| ikonia | I suggest reading the xchat documentation or channel (#xchat) to find out how to do basic functions such as join a channel | 22:54 |
| ikonia | the problem you are having is you are telling xchat to join a web page....which won't work | 22:55 |
| k1l_ | HankMccoy: so specifi what you actually want to do | 22:55 |
| HankMccoy | I just double click and nothing the other method of entering channel then specifying a chat room is harder | 22:56 |
| ikonia | yes, it's very hard to type "/join #channel_name" | 22:56 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, When are you getting this, the eee has some usb ports that are not boot friendly. | 22:56 |
| HankMccoy | i'm lazy | 22:56 |
| ikonia | I suspect you need to talk to #xchat about how to get it to parse URL's and translate them into literal IRC channel URI's | 22:57 |
| k1l_ | HankMccoy: ask the site you are using what they need you to intall | 22:57 |
| cortexman | welp i stuck my modprobe commands in /etc/rc.local and it works. :D whatev. | 22:57 |
| donvito | hello my ubuntu 12.04 LTS with kernel 3.2.0-49 keeps freezing in every 2-3 hours, what kind of hardware problem may it be, processor or graphic card? | 22:57 |
| evilbug | sporkeee: thing is i installed xubuntu a while ago on this eeepc via usb and i had no issues so it has worked. | 22:58 |
| Znoosey | donvito, i'm just going to guess that it is compiz or unity that freezes up and has nothing to do with your hardware, maybe try 13.04 it should be more stable | 22:59 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, As well, is with 8.04 using to load, or loading it. How does that help or answer my question. | 22:59 |
| mbhatnag | donvito: you could test if it was your memory with memtest86 | 22:59 |
| donvito | true, 5 days ago i installed compiz, after installing my pc started to freez, so i thought its kernel 3.2.0-49 | 23:00 |
| jjavaholic | if kopete is crashing inside ubuntu should it go here or #kopete? | 23:00 |
| === toby is now known as Guest15121 | ||
| sporkeee | evilbug, I assume you meant that the port your using is one that worked, I see now, | 23:01 |
| evilbug | sporkeee: sorry. it loads fine until "detect and mount cd-rom". i've looked and tried both /dev/sdb and /dev/sdb1 as my cdrom source since that's what the usb stick is but keeps saying it's undetectable on any of the 3 available ports. | 23:01 |
| donvito | Znoosey: if i upgrade to 13.04 will it be more stable? | 23:01 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, How are you loading the usb? | 23:01 |
| donvito | or is better to remove compiz? | 23:01 |
| Guest15121 | i am very new to linux and i am trying to get my system up and running these problems are probly related but i have 2 problems so far google has not helped me 1.

| jrib | !upgrade | donvito | 23:03 |
| ubottu | donvito: For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 23:03 |
| jrib | donvito: you must upgrade first to 12.10 and then to 13.04 | 23:03 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, How are you putting the iso on the usb? | 23:04 |
| sporkeee | and what release is it? | 23:04 |
| evilbug | sporkeee: i tried unetbootin and startup disk creator. unetbootin created a corrupt usb each time with different distros. | 23:04 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, What release? | 23:04 |
| evilbug | sporkeee: but now with startup disk creator. | 23:04 |
| evilbug | sporkeee: 8.04 and 12.04 (server and alternate) same issue. | 23:05 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, Have you re-partitioned the usb in lieu of a fix? | 23:06 |
| Scarliitha | kien me ayudaa | 23:06 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, I'm having a hard time separating what releases you are loading to the usb. | 23:07 |
| cardplayer | i am very new to linux and i am trying to get my system up and running these problems are probly related but i have 2 problems so far google has not helped me 1. I have a water mark in the bottom right hand corner of my screen says amd unsupported software 2. i cannot get the sound to go through my hdmi cable. the option isnt listed in the sound settings | 23:08 |

| k1l_ | cardplayer: which ubuntu are you running? and what is that watermark exactly? | 23:09 |
| canaima172421 | hola | 23:09 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, I'm having a hard time separating what releases you are loading to the usb. Have you checked the sums of the ISO's? | 23:09 |
| cardplayer | i pretty sure its 13.04 and the water mark says amd unsupported hardware | 23:09 |
| canaima172421 | quien abla español | 23:10 |

| ubottu | canaima172421: En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 23:10 |

| evilbug | sporkeee: i'm saying i've tried 12.04 server, then alternate, then 8.04 server, then alternate. i've reformatted the whole usb after each install didn't work so it's a fresh partition now with 8.04 alternate. | 23:11 |
| k1l_ | cardplayer: or see this answers. but i didnt test them so have a read first what suits best:http://askubuntu.com/questions/206558/how-to-remove-the-amd-testing-use-only-watermark | 23:12 |
| cardplayer | ok not testing only water mark but i am trying the first fix... then maybe it will fix my hdmi problem too... if not ill be back | 23:12 |
| cardplayer | thanks | 23:12 |
| sporkeee | !8.04 | 23:13 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support ended on May 9th 2013. See http://ubottu.com/y/hardy for more details. | 23:13 |
| evilbug | sporkeee: 12.04 support hasn't ended and i've been having the same issue with it. | 23:14 |
| ctcb | Using a terminal, I've created a folder in my Home called Dev, and one inside it called Android. I copied it in using the cp command and used the tar command to extract it, but when I type "cd android-sdk-linux", it comes up with "bash: cd: android-sdk-linux/: Permission denied" - Then, typing "sudo cd android-sdk-linux" comes up with "sudo: cd: command not found" | 23:14 |
| k1l_ | evilbug: 8.04 is ou t of support. so try again with a supported release. | 23:15 |
| ctcb | I'm more convinced this is a problem on Ubuntu's side, than the SDK. | 23:15 |
| sporkeee | evilbug, 8.04 is end of life not supported, I suspect you are trying this to get something working. As far as a bootable usb I would sum the ISO and try the multisystem loader at pendrive linux | 23:15 |
| ctcb | Since, I can sudo dir it to see what's inside, but cannot sudo cd in to it. | 23:15 |
| evilbug | k1l_: same issue with 12. | 23:15 |
| Ontological | Yeah... mostly because sudo cd into a directory wouldn't do you much good. You'd immediately lose superuser prives. You can't cd sudo. You have to sudo su - | 23:16 |
| ikonia | not sudo su - | 23:16 |
| ikonia | sudo -i | 23:16 |
| k1l_ | evilbug: just dd the actual supported iso onto a usb and it will work | 23:16 |
| Ontological | Whynot ikonia ? | 23:16 |
| ikonia | it can screw up your shell | 23:16 |
| k1l_ | Ontological: sudo -i sets the variables right. the other commands dont and that can cause problems | 23:17 |
| Ontological | Oh, haha. That's what I want... I want it to reload shell/variables/.bashrc | 23:17 |
| ikonia | Ontological: screw up != reload | 23:17 |
| jrib | Ontological: sudo su - will also do that, but it's just a bit redundant when compared to sudo -i | 23:17 |
| Ontological | sudo su - switches to root and reloads .bashrc and /etc/bashrc | 23:17 |
| Ontological | Just used to those commands :P | 23:17 |
| ikonia | Ontological: please re-read what I said | 23:17 |
| k1l_ | Ontological: again: its not the ubuntu way and its not etting all variables right. just use sudo -i on ubuntu | 23:18 |
| evilbug | k1l_: i'll try that. | 23:18 |
| Ontological | ikonia: What I thought you meant is that you lost your normal user's environment | 23:18 |
| Ontological | kk, thanks guys. I'll recommend that in the future :D | 23:18 |

| trism | Guest5891: if you wanted to remove them later, it looks like it just copied them to ~/.fonts | 23:38 |
