ikoniabut I'll leave that to you to figure out00:00
Litepoolok what i will do is look at this00:00
Litepoolhttp://www.dangibbs.co.uk/journal/symlink-mysql-database-in-linux-ubuntu-w-apparmor00:00
ikoniaLitepool: no00:01
ikoniabut you carry on with anoher random guide if you want00:01
Litepooli have no other options right now ikonia, i am prety sure an ssd is what i need right now, my configuration can't handle the iowaits00:01
ikoniaI'm pretty sure it's really NOT what you need00:01
Litepoolwell i just need it up and running for now00:02
Litepooland figuring it out later00:02
ikoniaeven just reading the back scroll in #mysql00:02
Litepoolwell the only advise you have given is to revert everything, i can delete the symlink and rename /var/lib/mysql-old to /var/lib/mysql but what else can i do after00:02
wheatthinwhy not just backup everything and reinstall everything onto the ssd, and save all the headache?00:03
ikoniaLitepool: I suggested reverting it back to a.) go back to a known good config before going forward 2.) analysing things properly00:03
PoolShark_ikonia: good suggestion00:03
ikoniawheatthin: becuase he'll destory the SSD if his writes are as high as suggesting00:03
ikoniathen he'll have no database00:04
Litepooli will back it up to my spare drives very often00:04
PoolShark_what kind of IO load are we talking about here?00:04
wheatthinincluding if he got a DDRdrive? which is meant for high io00:04
ikoniawheatthin: did he get a DDRdrive....00:05
PoolShark_dm-cache00:05
PoolShark_can dm-cache use a ramdisk as it's cache block device?00:05
ikoniaPoolShark_:exactly00:05
ikoniadepending on db size you could hold the whole lot in ram00:06
ikoniaor just key tables00:06
ikoniacreate indexes to stop full table scan and reduce io00:06
ikoniathere are many things00:06
PoolShark_I'km not even talkin gabout that00:06
ikoniabut nah, just ram it on an SSD and watch it explode00:06
PoolShark_I'm talking about just setting up a massive ram cache for the underlying disk drive housing the database (which should itself be a multi-disk raid tuned for the kind of writes the DB is doing)00:06
ikoniathere are many options00:07
PoolShark_yes there are00:07
ikoniahence why I said "analyise the problem"00:07
PoolShark_yes of cours00:07
PoolShark_e00:07
ikoniarather than just dumping it blindly on an SSD and following random guides on he web00:07
ikoniaI bet the table optimizers not even been run yet00:07
ikoniacould be something as simple as a fragmented large table due to write/deletion00:08
* PoolShark_ tests IOPs on his array00:11
epimethhi guys... My grub got fubar upgrading from LTS to whatever the next version was... 12.04 maybe? I set prefix to (blabla)/boot/grub/i36-pc and insmod linux but get error: symbol not found: 'grub_realidt'00:14
penosis ubuntu same as linux00:14
wilee-nileeepimeth, prefix00:15
wilee-nilee?00:15
Litepoolikonia have to understand i been trying to sort this issue out for days now00:15
Litepoolweeks even00:15
Litepooland ordered a ssd to my server00:15
Litepoolso i didn't want to just cancell my palns00:15
epimethpenos: ubuntu is a linux distribution...  basically linux is just the base operating system, ubuntu provides all sorts of applications for convenience00:15
epimethwilee-nilee: (blabla)/boot/grub/i386-px ... like I said :-)00:16
wilee-nileeepimeth, Can you like be accurate what lts to what, and what is prefix?00:16
epimethwilee-nilee: I'm in grub rescue... my google fu led me to setting prefix to that, then running insmod linux, but that errors out00:17
wilee-nileeepimeth, get the bootrepair app, run the bootinfo summary only if you like and post the url to it.00:17
PoolShark_which litecoin pool do you run?00:18
wilee-nileeepimeth, In other words you are trying to manually boot right?00:18
epimethwilee-nilee: I can't get into linux, I'm in grub-rescue... I have no idea where my disks are and really don't feel like burning a new one... not to mention I'm not sure what version of grub it should be on, the LTS version or the 12.04 one :-/00:19
epimethwilee-nilee: yes, I'm trying to manually boot :-)00:19
wilee-nileeepimeth, I have printed info on manual booting, it is all over the web, however I just use super grub or a live cd in theses cases, supergrub to get in or a live cd to chroot grub to the mbr.00:22
wilee-nileeyou can find all the data needed in a manual boot you just need the correct instructions00:23

wilee-nileeepimeth, Sure but coming here does not mean we wont ask you to follow an easy path, such as the bootinfo summary, so we can actually see what is there and get this done.00:29
wilee-nileeor just use supergrub and fix it from the desktop00:29
epimethwilee-nilee: Of course not, but that doesn't mean there isn't someone here who is proficient in grubeese who could help me without supergrub/grubfix/whathaveyoufromthelivecd :-)00:30
wilee-nileeepimeth, Cool, then carry on. ;)00:30
epimethso now that wilee has tapped out ;-)... anyone here good with grub rescue?00:33

wilee-nileeI know grub00:35

almostworking_44trent3, not sure what you have done, with your video driver, i install mine manually so its not something i have had to deal with in quite a long time.00:48
alainuswilee-nilee, I want to make a portable ubuntu installation00:48
wilee-nileealainus, Is the usb persistent?00:48
_44trent3How do I reset it in Software Sources though, my screen res is messed up00:48
alainuswilee-nilee, yes00:48
almostworkinghmm, well it should be a control panel thing to change your screen res.00:49
wilee-nileealainus, The caper-rw the persistent will eventually fill up and can't be cleaned, if you want a real portable fully install it.00:49
wilee-nileealainus, A live cd even with a persistent has limitations.00:50
almostworkingassuming something hasnt gone wrong, and ur existing screen res, isnt there anymore for some reason, which would be unusual.00:50
alainuswilee-nilee, what do you mean? Install it on *another* usb from this usb ?00:50
_44trent3How do I do it?00:50
wilee-nileealainus, Install however you want to a usb.00:50
ShloopI'm running ubuntu 12.10 and for some reason after I log in, I get a loading cursor and the desktop/unity does not respond to my clicking.00:50
wilee-nileeit*00:50
alainuswilee-nilee, Is it the same install process when it's on a usb? Do I have to do extra tweaking for correct booting or whatever00:51
almostworkingactually i run ubuntu in a VM for my plex server atm. my primary distro is another flavor ....   system settings should be on your panel, go in there, and click on displays00:51
wilee-nileealainus, You would just use the something other option a manual install and make sure you were installing to the usb, and putting grub in its mbr.00:52
alainuswilee-nilee, ok, thanks00:52
deckard_Hello. I have updated flash, i installed HAL even and I still cant watch Amazon Prime, can anybody recommend anything else?00:52

wilee-nileeShloop, usb mouse, and have you tried another mouse, have you checked the battery if it has one?00:55
alainuswilee-nilee, is having the installation on a usb stick make it run slower than if it were on a hdd ?00:56
alainusnot that i want to have just a usb installation, but i want to know00:56
Shloopwiliee-nilee no, I'm using a laptop00:56
wilee-nileealainus, An external runs slower than a internal in general, a usb3 would be helpful.00:57
_44trent3Can anyone tell me how to reset the video driver in software sources?00:57
wilee-nileeShloop, so it is a tap pad?00:58
alainuswilee-nilee, does the computer I use the stick in need to have special hardware ? (sorry for all the questioning)00:58
alainusin the case it's usb3, I mean00:58
wilee-nileealainus, For?00:58
Shloopwiliee-nilee nope just a laptop.00:59
alainusFor a usb 3.0 stick00:59

varunendrakdmurray, are both of these local locations (not on NAS/network)? Any fancy settings with ACLs/Disk Quota etc. ?02:32
kdmurrayvarunendra - both are local to the same volume. I haven't done any configuration of ACLs or quotas.02:33

SirCluelessi'm building a shared library that doesn't build lib*.so.<n>, just lib*.so03:12
SirCluelesshow do I package it?03:12
saiarcot895SirClueless: I think you'll have to create a symlink, but let me check03:13
saiarcot895SirClueless: since the main lib package usually follows the former naming convention, you could rename the library to match the naming syntax (where n is the ABI version)03:15
saiarcot895SirClueless: also, check #ubuntu-packaging03:16
=== Guest26070 is now known as Guest26070|Away
SirCluelesssaiarcot895: I don't think this library has any ABI versioning per se -- I know it breaks compatibility on pretty much every minor version03:17
saiarcot895SirClueless: is it frequently updated?03:18
SirCluelesssaiarcot895: not lately03:19
saiarcot895SirClueless: based on Debian Library Packaging Guidelines, the n has to be the SONAME (use objdump -p filename | grep SONAME to see this)03:22
saiarcot895SirClueless: you might be able to have a package name of libname-version-soname03:23
saiarcot895SirClueless: actually, scratch what I said; see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-sharedlibs.html03:25
SirCluelessi'm currently reading http://www.netfort.gr.jp/~dancer/column/libpkg-guide/libpkg-guide.html03:27
SirCluelesswhich suggests that packages that are "unstable" (like this one, no versioned SONAME) are possible but not recommended03:27
saiarcot895SirClueless: I was reading that too, but this one seems to be more recent (2012)03:28
saiarcot895SirClueless: regardless, check with #ubuntu-packaging, and possible #debian-mentors on OFTC, as they may be also able to help with packaging (even though this is for Ubuntu)03:30

varunendraarquebus, everything looks fine. What do you mean by "locked"? You should have read/write permission on it. You can not 'change' permissions on a fat32 partition though, that filesystem doesn't support permissions.07:08

binaryhermitSounds to me like the filesystem on that drive is corrupt07:14
Thetenthdrvarunendra, still nothing on the wifi07:14
varunendraarquebus, what binaryhermit said^^. Your user group id and the mount permissions are matching. So there may be a corrupt filesystem issue.07:16
camelsStyles, sorry the AMD drivers locked up07:16
ktosiekis there any reliable way to clear all DNS caches?07:17
arquebusvarunendra: ok, well thanks for your help. As I said, I remember there was an easy fix for this last time, I thought this problem would be common and there would be a quick fix07:17
ThetenthdrIt still says its not a 64 bit driver, and it is also still trying to load the windows 7 driver I tried earlier.07:17
varunendraarquebus, if you doubt permissions, you may try opening nautilus as root (CAREFUL, Can be Dangerous). But if you can read the files, I'd suggest to just copy them locally, them reformat the drive.07:18
arquebusvarunendra: ok, I'll look into that, thx07:19

iceroot_wheatthin: with backports or a ppa09:39
ikoniawheatthin: what ??? how is that even practical ?09:39

wheatthinhmm it has nothing to do with what these people are talking about, it was a direct question09:39
iceroot_wheatthin: but normally there is no reason to have 3.8 if 3.2 or 3.5 are running fine09:39
ikoniawheatthin: so a release offering a 3.2 kernel is not going to offer a 3.8 package designed for tht release.09:39

ikoniathere is no 3.8 kernel package for 12.04 in the main repos09:41
wheatthinok.. I guess I'm seeing things09:42
iceroot_!info linux-generic-lts-raring precise09:42
ubottulinux-generic-lts-raring (source: linux-meta-lts-raring): Generic Linux kernel image and headers. In component main, is optional. Version 3.8.0.26.25 (precise), package size 1 kB, installed size 27 kB (Only available for i386; amd64)09:42
iceroot_there we go, kernel 3.8 in 12.04.209:42
wheatthin:)09:42
iceroot_as it seems all kernels are "backported" into the main-repos of lts-releases now09:42
ikoniaright, thats the raring kernel though09:42
iceroot_ikonia: in the 12.04 repos09:42
ikoniayes, but it's not the precise kernel09:43
ikoniait's a back port of the raring kernel....09:43
iceroot_wheatthin: but you only will have 3.8 when you install a new metapackage, 12.04 will NEVER ask to install 3.8 without installing a new meta-package09:43
iceroot_and i guess 12.04.3 will have 3.8 as default with the mete-package of raring09:43
=== k is now known as Guest76587
ikoniaI doubt it09:44
kostkon_ikonia: it will be the kernel of 12.04.3 like 3.5 was the kernel of 12.04.209:44
ikoniawe'll see, but I don't believe so09:44
iceroot_ikonia: i did not belive it either on 12.04.209:44
ikoniaI guess we'll find out09:44
iceroot_+109:44
iceroot_and in the biggest nightmares they will backport MIR to 12.04 :)09:45
ilmerovingioiceroot_: i've now run an instance on amazon web services with the 12.04.2 image (provided by canonical) and there's still the 3.2 kernel09:46
ilmerovingio3.2.0-40-virtual09:46
wheatthincan I ask what a meta-package is without getting my head ripped off?09:46
Guest76587need help : installed ubuntu 13.04 on sony vaio vgn cs14g. having problems with ethernet. I have wired internet connection and it works fine for sometime, then the internet stops working. I am unable to access the network when this happens as well. Tried disabling networking and reenabling it , tried reinserting the cable, only works after reboot09:46
ikonia-virtual....09:46
iceroot_wheatthin: it is a package which is not having any content, it will just install other packages09:47
wheatthinwould it tell you if it'll install other packages with -s option?09:47
ikoniawheatthin: think of it as a pointer to another package,09:47
iceroot_wheatthin: like "ubuntu-desktop" that package does NOT contain unity and so on but it will pull unity, libreoffice, firefox and so on. its just a big listing of dependencies09:47
iceroot_wheatthin: in debian they call them "dummy-package" if i am correct09:48
wheatthinI just installed 3.8 package without it installing any other packages.09:48
iceroot_wheatthin: please dont install a kernel directly, always use the metapackage09:48
iceroot_wheatthin: without the metapackage you will not get security-updates, the correct headers, modules and so on09:48
ikoniawheatthin: so that suggests the metapackage for the kenrnel points at the 3.8 backport, which seems very unlikely09:48
iceroot_wheatthin: for 12.04 there are 3 metapackages, linux-image-generic (3.2) linux-generic-lts-oneric (3.5) linux-generic-lts-raring (3.8)09:49

iceroot_Bower^Work: hm ok09:51
wheatthin:)09:51
iceroot_Bower^Work: for the latest security updates you should always use dist-upgrade instead of upgrade or use the software-center-dialog which is offering updates09:51
vegombreioye kamal you here ??09:52
wheatthineither way, it's working now, and now he can run the updates regularly09:52
kostkon_wheatthin: you can install the whole raring or quantal stack not jusf the kernel. part of the lts hardwarw enablement stack. check here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack09:52
Guest76587vegombrei - - yes09:53
iceroot_wheatthin: i would suggest to NOT install a newer kernel or x-server if everything is fine for you09:53
iceroot_wheatthin: that killed my system after installing a new x-server (which is part of the quantal stack)09:53
=== Troy_ is now known as Troy^
vegombreiGuest76587: ask your question here09:54
wheatthinI'm not looking to install a new x-server.. I just asked about the 3.8 kernel.. I got my answer. I get you cannot receive security updates, but as for getting a running kernel without a bunch of other stuff, this worked just fine for me (not that I'm suggesting it to anybody else).09:55
iceroot_wheatthin: of course you will get security updates for 3.809:55

greekHi fellas. I have an ubuntu server. I'd like to "name" it somehow, so that when I open my browser and type in "example.com" in the address bar, it goes to my ubuntu server. I've already set the hosts file on my windows machine to point to its IP.10:20
swgreek: Have you set it's '$ hostname' on the server? Have you added the relevant DNS records in to whatever domain name you want to point to it? Forwarded ports locally if that's also required? etc.10:22
greeksw: ok let's start with the hostname, where do i set that?10:22
sw!hostname | greek10:22
ubottugreek: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly.10:22
swgreek: Note that you'll probably only receive help here for the first part (setting the hostname), the rest are really irrelevant to Ubuntu support.10:23
greeksw: ok thanks. should i set the hostname to www.example.com or to just example.com ?10:23
swgreek: Neither, as I would guess you don't own example.com.10:24
greeksw: it's another domain :) I'm just wondering whether the hostname must include the www prefix10:24
Offshoreguys10:25
Offshoreim building headless custom arm device (AllWinner A11)10:25
swgreek: Well that's up to you isn't it? There's no reason why you need to call it www. though. You can have a server called 'server1.servers.co.uk' and it could host a website 'www.something-else.co.uk'. It doesn't really make much difference.10:25
Offshoregot kernel compiled, it runs with debian rootfs perfectly10:25

sazawalBluesKaj, Sorry, I am a bit confused now. Ethernet or DSL?12:51
MonkeyDustsazawal  no, they use ethernet to connect their PC to the router -- the router is connected with the internet12:51
ikoniatga: that's not an ubuntu kernel12:52
ikoniatga: tal to your vps provider12:52
schnufflemartisj: you nedd to have a NameVirtualHost and of course a virtualhost definition12:52
sazawalMonkeyDust, They don't have a router at their home. I guess the service provider has fixed a router somewhere and then they provide connection from that router to everyone in the locality12:52
BluesKajsazawal, your ethernet is connected to the router , the router is DSL/internet12:53
tgaikonia: indeed, I figured that out after gtting locked out of my vpn12:53
tgaikonia: ufw should check for modules before setting up the drop rules12:53
ikoniatga: no, it shouldnt12:54
sazawalBluesKaj,  ok. I see12:54
tgaikonia: of course not, it makes perfect sense to lock down the machine and crash because of missing modules12:54
ikoniayou should use proper supported kernels that work, rather than sloppy crazy 3rd party ones that don't12:54
tgaI'm not complaining that ufw didn't work, just that it didn't fail nicely and locked me out12:54
ikoniatga: it did what it was meant to12:54
ikoniayou're 3rd party provider messed things up12:55
tga100% security12:55
ikoniayou're 3rd party provider should stop being poor12:55
tgait just happened that my machine's kernel didn't have the modules ufw needs12:55
tga3rd party provider or not, it's not acceptable to just crash12:55
ikoniatga: correct, which is because your 3rd party provider screwd the kernel12:55
ikoniatga: it didn't just crash12:55
sazawalMonkeyDust, My friends use Ethernet connection in Ubuntu to connect to the internet and then they get a login screen on the browser where they have to log-in for the internet to work. In my case I have entered login details in the DSL connection (in network settings). I do not get a login screen in the browser.)12:55

vl4kn0Hi, I'm developing an application and put all my files into /opt/ (because of cross-platform compatibility) and I'd like to put icons there too. Problem is that when setting icon-path I'm only able to specify one icon filename. But then the icon is the same for ambiance and radiance themes, I'd like to distinguish between dark and light icon theme. How do I do that?12:56
ikoniaschnuffle: this is the 3rd person this week with the same kernel and the same problem, suggesting someone (the provider) is being sloppy12:56
MonkeyDustvl4kn0  better ask in #ubuntu-app-devel, i guess12:56
vl4kn0MonkeyDust: thanks12:56
tgaindeed, the ufw developers are being sloppy12:56
ikoniano12:57
ikoniathey are not12:57
ikoniathey feed info into the kernel modules - it's up to you to make sure the kernel modules are sane12:57
ikoniaif you use ubuntu - that will always happen12:57
sazawalMonkeyDust, I think my connection is from my room to the ISP with no router. While my friends are connected to the router somewhere in the locality.12:57
ikoniaif you use some rubbish 3rd party kernel - you'll get breakages12:57
tgaof course they are, ufw meets an unexpected kernel and it leaves the machine in an unusable state12:57
ikoniatga: no, it doesn't12:57
ikoniatga: it applies the rules - the fact that no kenrel module is loaded is not ufw's issue12:57
ikoniait's  your kernel maintainer's issue12:58
schnuffleikonia: so there you have the answer, I'm running some proxmox hosts and for the newer distirs its better to use KVM then openvz as it leads to problems as stated by tga12:58
MonkeyDustsazawal  I have DSL myself, it goes through a router, because you need NAT12:58
tgaikonia: if it can print lots of FATAL ERRORs in big letters it should be able to undo the rules because they won't work12:58
ikoniatga: no, as ufw isn't aware of any of that12:58
tgabecause the developers are sloppy12:59
ikoniatga: it applies the rules YOU tell it to, using the modules on YOUR system12:59
ikoniatga: really - this problem happens because of an unofficial kenrel, and you blame the application,12:59
MonkeyDustsazawal  NAT = network address translation, it "translates" your public IP address to a local IP address in your house -- that happens inside the router12:59
schnuffletga: what about just flushing the iptable ruels?12:59
tgaschnuffle: I got locked out of my machine after installing and enabling ufw12:59
tgaI got it flushed eventually, but I'm still grumbling about it12:59
tgaand btw, I didn't specify any rules13:00
ikoniatga: grubmle to your hosting provider13:00
tgajust installed ufw and enabled it13:00
tgaikonia: no, the hosting provider is doing nothing wrong13:00
schnuffletga: my advice it's a server use debian13:00
ikoniatga: and I suggest as you're using a custom ubuntu spin you take support to them as this channel wo'nt pickup custom support spins13:00
ikoniatga: yeah - they did, bad kernel with missing modules13:00
tgaschnuffle: on serious stuff I do, this machine I want to keep close to my main system13:01

ranticHey everyone, could anyone tell me the name of the Sound Preferences GUI in Ubuntu 13.04? I'm building an Ubuntu Minimal system and would like to include it.14:38
ranticGilligan94: It's telling you in plain english you have duplicate entries :P14:39
Gilligan94rantic: I know but I dont see any14:40
ranticGilligan94: Where are you looking for duplicates?14:41
Gilligan94rantic: in the source list14:41
Gilligan94rantic: other sources14:41
ranticGilligan94: So you checked the actual text file or you viewed the software sources in a graphical program?14:41
Gilligan94rantic: the graphical program, where is the actual file located?14:42
ranticGilligan94: /etc/apt/sources.list14:42
ranticGilligan94: But you also have other entries in /etc/apt/sources.list.d/14:42

kolinabOK. It's a ex3 formatted disk. I'm the owner on my system (both systems 12.04) and it works great. I just gave my wife my old system, where I added her as a new user with an administrative account. When I plug the disk into her system it says I don't have privileges to read it. Of course I can chown -R username:username /media/mydisk but I don't want to switch the owner back and forth every time I plug the disk into my system or hers.15:02

GBS-NETrantic:yeah......i wd'nt have done it without you guys15:03
adsckolinab: just chgrp and give both users the same group15:03
ikoniaadsc: they are different machines so the GID/groups maybe different15:03
ikoniahence why I'm asking what's there now15:03
adscchances are good they aren't different15:04
kolinabon my system: owner:kolin, group: kolin15:04
ikoniaadsc: he's already said they are15:04
ikoniaadsc: they have users on one system not on the other15:04
adscnot the gids if he creates a new group15:04
A4trent3I'm doing a reinstall.15:04
adscif they are standard desktop systems, a new group will have the same gid on both machines15:04
ikoniakolinab: ok, so does the user and group kolin exist on both systems ?15:04
=== vivi is now known as vivisaji
ikoniaadsc: he's already said they are not, they have different users, therefore different groups will be created as a group is created for each user by default15:05
kolinabno, the user kolin and group kolin exist only on my main system. But I'm happy to add another group to her system and make her a member, if that's the solution15:05
adscyou don't get what I mean15:05
adsche should create a new group anyway15:05
ikoniaadsc: yes, I know this15:05
=== groschensammler is now known as rth
adscthen I don't understand your confusion15:06
ikoniakolinab: so what I'd suggest you do is check the group "users" exists on both systems - it should as this is a standard group15:06
anshulkI use internet by connecting by mobile through bluetooth, but whenever I disconnect, my ubuntu drops to CLI and I have no option except to restart using hardware button15:06
kolinabok, checking.15:06
ikoniakolinab: do you know how to check ?15:06
anshulk"kernel panic occurred " or such is the message15:06
kolinabno, I was googling it :)15:07
ikoniakolinab: ok, so "grep users /ec/group"15:07
adscanshulk: sounds like a driver issue15:07
anshulki also remember "drm_kms_helper" or something like that15:07
anshulkadsc, solution ?15:07
anshulkoops15:08
adscfind out which driver it is, then send the author a mail?15:08
kolinabgrep users /ec/group - no such file of dir15:08
ikoniakolinab: /etc/group15:08
auronandacekolinab: he meant /etc/group15:08
ikoniasorry, typo15:08
anshulkolder versions of ubuntu work just fine, adsc15:09
kolinabikonia: the users group exists on both systems15:09
ikoniakolinab: does the gid match ?15:09
ikoniaeg: users:x:$number15:09
ikoniathe $number part15:09
kolinaboutput on both systems reads identically: users:x:100:15:09
ikoniakolinab: great, so on both systems if you add your user and your wifes user to the group "users" and change the group ownership to that group "users"15:10
ikoniakolinab: you can then change the permissions to something like 775 to give group full control, and both systems your users will work fine15:10
adscanshulk: maybe you can find something if you google for "ubuntu bluetooth kernel panic"15:10

SeegeeI was wondering if it was possible to send an HTTP request to an IP that has a web server on it, and the web server will reply back to it and give you the domain that is on that IP.17:49
bekksSeegee: i know what http requests are. But what do you mean with "good amount" in terms of http requests?17:49

ikoniaPici: you can, but then you have a full 32bit system in a chroot on a 64bit system20:19
vl4kn0ikonia: not a clue what that means. the keyword 'multilib' suggests that one binary package will run on x86 and x64 systems. I might be wrong though20:19

fulcanI found the ubuntu support for upgrading old broke kernels https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades but is says to put the old-release url/info in /etc/apt/source.list, but all the ones I have are dead. is there a work around or do I use these some how  http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/  ?21:32

Ben64fulcan: i think you're confusing kernel and release21:32
fulcanBen64 the kernel is what matters.21:32
Ben64well you can't upgrade the kernel on 10.1021:33
bekksfulcan: Thats wrong :)21:33
cobalt238bekks, ubottu: I've tried doing something like that before, but it stops after "Running /scripts/init-bottom ... done" and "Adding ... swap ..."21:33
Ben64fulcan: you might as well install 12.04 or 13.04 fresh21:33
bekksfulcan: The release matters. It determines wether you can still get support or not.21:33
fulcanBen64 the system can NOT be wiped clean21:34
Ben64ok, then make a backup, or if you had /home separate, use that21:34
bekksfulcan: If it couldnt, it would have been upgraded already. :)21:34
Ben64before 10.10 lost support in april 201221:35
Guest43967Machine A does not have X11 but have an application installed that uses GUI. Can I use: ssh -X <ip_A> on machine B which have GUI installed to use that GUI application of machine A?21:35
fulcanBen64 and I don't know enough about the config of the applications it is hosting to scp directories. the best solution is the upgrade the kernel.21:35
bekksGuest43967: Yes.21:35
Ben64again, you can't upgrade the kernel21:35
Guest43967bekks, thanks!21:35
bekksfulcan: a) you cannot just upgrade the kernel and b) you have to upgrade the release, not the kernel, to get support.21:36
fulcanBen64 I do it all the time on gentoo21:36
Ben64oh, i forgot when ubuntu was gentoo21:36
bekksfulcan: And gentoo isnt release-based like Ubuntu is.21:36
fulcanadministrating the Linux kernel is the same on all distros21:36
bekksfulcan: Entirely wrong, again.21:37
Ben64well 10.10 isn't supported here, you're free to try whatever you want on your own21:37
fulcanmake menuconfig21:37
bekksfulcan: Even with a recent 3.10 kernel, you will not get any support for your 10.10 release.21:37
Kitt3n^21:37
Ben64not to mention all the packages will still be out of date and potentially vulnerable21:37
fulcanBen64 update your packages or some trash like that?21:38
bekksfulcan: You have to update all packages. And since Ubuntu is release-based, this is done by updating the release.21:38
Ben64what? you haven't gotten an update in over a year... no bug fixes, no security updates, no nothing21:38
Ben64i use LTS releases so I don't have to upgrade every 6 months21:39
fulcanBen64 no shit..21:40
bekksfulcan: 12.04 is supported until 2017.21:40
fulcanBen64 the goal is to repair the issue.21:40
bekksfulcan: Then upgrade to 12.04 at least. Forget about the kernel.21:40
Ben64and we've told you how, you just don't listen. and watch the language here21:40
fulcanbekks the drive isn't getting wiped clean and there is NO way of knowing if /var/ or ... has been modified for system processes. so mv /home no workie!21:41
bekksfulcan: It basically doesnt matter what you have to to to upgrade to 12.04 - unless you do, you dont get support.21:42
fulcanbekks if you don't want to talk to me, then just shut up!21:42
bekksfulcan: If you dont want to listen what people tell you, dont ask. Ignore set. Now, you are on your own.21:43
Ben64fulcan: you can just leave, what you want to do is not supported. you need to upgrade or you need to be the quiet one21:43
fulcanbekks no, your no listening.21:43
fulcanwhiping the drive isn't a solution21:43

sykopompAnyone know how I could debug wireless issues on ubuntu 13.04 running on a macbook pro? The wireless was working fine after manually installing the bcmwl package, but after installation, it's failing to connect to one of my routers (which worked before install)21:55
Kitt3nRallias, so you can't access the bios at all?21:56
sykopompNot really sure where to look for clues as to why it's acting like it's connecting, then suddenly disconnects.21:56
RalliasKitt3n, I can, there's no thing labeled "boot list" or similar.21:56
skorasaurus-altRallias, you need to press F12 or F2 when you start your computer.21:56
RalliasThere's a boot priorities menu, set to USB -> CD -> HDD -> EFI Network Boot, but no "boot list"21:56
skorasaurus-altnevermind.21:56
Guest78169it is not normal that I cant load the client ltsp in edubuntu 12.04 it loads but it doesnt show the tools at the side nor the options at the upper side neither21:57
wilee-nileeRallias, Don't take others willingness to help here as valid help, many here help without realizing there own motives rather than having any care for the user.21:57
Kitt3nRallias, I wish all EFI bios menus were the same -.- Hm, there should be a seperate EFI boot priority list (at least there is for me, which contains ubuntu, EFI shell, etc)21:58

Kitt3nwilee-nilee, it depends on what kind of an issue it is :P22:00
sykopompdoes anyone have any ideas on debugging wireless issues?22:00
wilee-nileesykopomp, The channel works with you stating your issues, if you have provided enough and some knows they will most likely respond, the "Anyone" can cut you off from help.22:01
loganvwhitesykopomp,, I've fixed the wireless on a couple computers in th.e past, but without knowing your specific issue there's not much I can tell you22:01
loganvwhitespeaking of issues I'm trying to use some qt apps, but qt is apparently broken on my computer. open the package manager to reinstall, and the package is broken. try and fix the package and I get " trying to overwrite shared '/etc/xdg/Trolltech.conf', which is different from other instances of package libqtcore4:amd64"22:03
RalliasKitt3n, I looked, there's no UEFI shell in the bios or boot menu.22:03
loganvwhiteso at this point I'm confused and have no idea what happened to qt. I never changed anything relating to it since installing.22:03
sykopompwilee-nilee: I will work towards eliminating this troublesome word from my vocabulary. Maybe it will save me from having to read such useless, pointless, uninformed responses in the future.22:03
sykopomploganvwhite: basically, as I explained a bit further above, the bcmwl wireless driver that I installed manually (as instructed in the link from the ubuntu wiki) worked fine when I was trying out ubuntu off a usb live disk.22:04
loganvwhitesyko, you gave us literally no information.22:04
=== Dark-Ace-Z is now known as DarkAceZ
loganvwhitehis response was not pointless22:04
sykopompafter installation, I installed the bcmwl driver the same way, but now it refuses to connect to the same router that was working before. A different router (that I can't just use on a regular basis) connects successfully, though.22:05
sykopompnow, the wireless card seems to mostly work -- it successfully scans for APs, finds them, and asks me for the WPA key as usual. It just keeps trying to connect  for several seconds, and then gives up and tells me I've been disconnected.22:06
Ralliassykopomp, Did you try removing the wireless access point's profile from network-manager?22:07
sykopompthis may not be entirely ubuntu's fault. It may be a timeout issue. I did notice that, on OSX, this particular router takes a good 30s or more to successfully complete a connection.22:07
sykopompyes, I did, and readded it.22:07
sykopompI also tried reinstalling the bcmwl driver, turning wifi on and off.22:07
wheatthinand is the wireless accesspoint on channel scanning itself?22:07
sykopompwheatthin: I don't know what that means.22:07

williamtdrScripting/xterm/cron question: I set up, on Ubuntu server 12.04 the following in the root crontab: @reboot /home/lbuser/start.sh and @daily reboot. In the start.sh I put vncserver :1 among a few other commands. However, the vnc server does not start. If I run it manually via ssh after the system reboots it works dine, but why not with cron?23:01
williamtdrHelp appreciated.23:01
zryan<holstein> thanks for help me23:01
bekkswilliamtdr: You have to use the full path for vncserver.23:01
williamtdrbekks: in the script, not in the crontab?23:01

agoramaum you cannot use alien on a directory of rpms, you need to use a file ending in .rpm23:43
agoramaum what printer btw?23:43
agoramaum you could say /home/maui/Desktop/cnijfilter-mp230series-3.80-1-rpm/packages/*.rpm23:44
agorai believe23:44
agoramaum and never mind how did I miss the printer name23:44
