| lj1102 | Hello, I've a problem with my internet connection, more specific my dns resolving. On bootup everything is fine but after a few hours or so more and more hosts become unreachable/unresolvable/time out. Pinging them is still possible but i cannot browse them anymore :/ Anybody can help me on that? | 00:15 |

| guidemario_ | hi there ... I'd like to know if it's possible to write some commands on a text file and save it in a kind of extension (like .BAT for windows) to run the commands when I click on this file. | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | !binbash | 00:19 |
| lj1102 | guidemario_: .sh is the extension | 00:19 |
| histo | guidemario_: like a bash script? | 00:19 |
| guidemario_ | just write the files and save it as .SH file? (sorry, I'm kind new to linux) | 00:20 |
| histo | guidemario_: the extension doesn't matter in linux typically | 00:20 |
| Blackout_ | lj1102 mistyping... i dont know what im doing | 00:20 |
| histo | guidemario_: but for uniformity name it somefile.sh and chmod +x it | 00:20 |
| histo | !cli | guidemario_ | 00:20 |
| ubottu | guidemario_: The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome) or K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal or type in it: man intro | 00:20 |
| guidemario_ | histo, what means "chmod +x" it? | 00:21 |
| lj1102 | making it executable | 00:21 |
| guidemario_ | chmod +x <filename.sh> ? | 00:21 |
| lj1102 | yes | 00:21 |
| guidemario_ | ok, I'll try | 00:21 |
| lj1102 | adding the "executable" flag to it | 00:21 |
| histo | guidemario_: you have to make the file executable | 00:21 |
| guidemario_ | thanks in advance for the help | 00:21 |

| wilee-nilee | Guest57207, It is a file to save your work, if you shutdown | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | not a file exactly called casper-rw | 00:44 |
| Guest57207 | where can I find this | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest57207, Most usb loaders offer that option. | 00:44 |
| Guest57207 | oh i see | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | Guest57207, And most limit it to 4 gigs, however if you have a usb with enough gigs you can have a casper-rw partition as big as you need. | 00:45 |
| Guest57207 | mine is 4 gb | 00:46 |

| enkot | wilee-nilee: when I type: cat /etc/passwd a list of more tha one user, right? | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | enkot, If you have not added users, those are not users in its definition. | 00:53 |
| enkot | wilee-nilee: I want to know what do every user of this list for erase the unnecessary | 00:54 |
| sam___ | wilee-nilee, It says it is locked by another process. I do have a bigger problem and it is that my updates are using I have just figured out. I am trying to update to 13.04.

| dougnet | Or must I drag the Windoze laptop to console into the router? | 01:00 |
| psingh_ | ctcbctcb, you should be out of sudo after the command finishes. Type whoami to see if you are root or not | 01:00 |
| ctcb | psingh_, whoami brings back "root" | 01:00 |
| psingh_ | try typing exit | 01:01 |

| enkot | wilee-nilee: thank you so much for your help. Yes, I'm reading wiki's about security but I though in this list are users, but your explanation make sense about applications and process | 01:01 |
| jrib | ctcb: you must have done something else then. Probably "sudo -i" or something similar possibly involving "su"...? | 01:01 |
| ctcb | jrib, When I originally made the Dev Folder, I had to do sudo su to allow me to create it. | 01:02 |
| ctcb | wilee-nilee, Uh... what? | 01:02 |
| jrib | ctcb: 1) something is broken with your permissions and 2) use "sudo -i" instead of "sudo su" if you need a root prompt | 01:03 |
| jrib | ctcb: and "exit" as psingh_ suggested will let you leave the root prompt. Alternatively, you can press ctrl-d | 01:03 |

| JcAdduono | jrib: you can share directories, yes, but with ftp mount would make my life much easier just hitting ctrl+s in my ide and immediately having changes applied to the vm, dir sharing requires you to copy the file to that folder, than do copy command on guest....very time consuming | 01:24 |

| MrCollins | about halfway down is his post. | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | MrCollins, with only one post I would be suspicious, the mod oldfred would be the one I follow I know there work. However you will not break anything with a ntfs, you use the disk manager in windows to format it and then skip the format with the loader. | 03:15 |
| MrCollins | ok.... | 03:15 |
| wilee-nilee | MrCollins, The dd options are valid as well. | 03:16 |
| MrCollins | wilee-nilee, I cant do dd. I wish I could. I guess I could load a virtual box, install ubuntu then make disk from there? | 03:16 |
| wilee-nilee | MrCollins, Doh I forgot you were in windows, my bad. ;) | 03:16 |
| MrCollins | do you think that would work or would it still have some windows on it | 03:17 |
| wilee-nilee | MrCollins, Not sure I understand the question. | 03:17 |

| wilee-nilee | MrCollins, Is that the stock version aspire one zg5 with 512Mib of ram, a bit old for ubuntu and below minimal requirements even if you got a install. I have a aspire d250 that runs okay but with 2 gigs ram, there is lubuntu though for lower loads. | 03:53 |

| wilee-nilee | MrCollins, Getting past that issue is not a valid answer if you use critical thinking, in other words don't get stuck there is all. | 03:57 |

| lotuspsychje | thetenthdr: did you also check 'additional drivers' to see if some drivers need to be installed? | 04:51 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: IIRC, xmodmap -pke tells you the mappings. xev will tell you what key's have what codes. If a key doesn't have a code, the mapping makes no difference. So your keys aren't being picked up correctly. What device is it? | 04:52 |

| holstein | thetenthdr: try with a known good access point with no encryption | 04:53 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, they aren't as far as I can tell but when I press them the terminal cursor blinks, so it see's the key somehow I just don't know how | 04:54 |
| thetenthdr | Holstein, that's what Im saying. Zero response from the wifi card. Doesnt even attempt to list available access points | 04:54 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: does it work with other OSes? Another computer? | 04:54 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, well my other pc is my gaming pc, so it runs windows | 04:55 |
| thetenthdr | holstein, Also, iwconfig doesnt list wlan0, only usb0, eth0 and lo | 04:55 |
| holstein | thetenthdr: i would test the hardware somewhere with a windows driver.. i worked on a card for *days* and i finally took it to a windows box, and it was bad | 04:56 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, about 99.9% sure there is nothing wrong with the keyboard | 04:56 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, i should mention this worked fine in the last version of ubuntu | 04:56 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: that doesn't answer what I'm asking. You first need to make sure you do not have a hardware issue, or you could be killing time. | 04:56 |
| thetenthdr | holstein, the card works. This is a dual boot system, right before I reinstalled I booted to W7 and used the wifi adapter | 04:56 |
| iMnew | hi | 04:56 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, well i'm saying the keys worked in ubuntu 12.10 and don't work in 13.04 | 04:57 |
| PepperoniPizza | that is what changed | 04:57 |
| thetenthdr | holstein, I wish it was that simple, it's still under warranty lol | 04:57 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: when did they last work? | 04:57 |
| holstein | thetenthdr: unfortunately, it can be challenging when the vendors dont support the operation system you want to use | 04:57 |
| pranav1 | how can i change workspace switching time (animation that precedes ctrl + alt + arrow keys ) ? | 04:57 |
| holstein | thetenthdr: what would i do? i usually swap out hardware.. things are too affordable these days | 04:58 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, before I upgraded to 13.04 | 04:58 |
| insmod | <PepperoniPizza> Fn | 04:58 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, which was ahile ago i'm just trying to get shit to work now | 04:58 |
| deckard_ | hello. Is there a command to like clean up flash? Maybe to dump out old stuff? | 04:58 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: And I now give up. This might help you to find a keycode or scancode https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys | 04:58 |
| PepperoniPizza | insmod, i don't have an fn key this isn't a laptop | 04:58 |
| holstein | deckard_: flash? | 04:58 |
| iMnew | i amusing ubuntu12.04 and i havea printer installed onmy systeM which accepts print command once but after that i have to restart the printerto give another print. Whatto do? | 04:58 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, yea i've been all through that just now | 04:58 |
| thetenthdr | holstein, Im starting to see that lol. Supposedly others have gotten it working, but it doesnt seem to want to for me. Any recommendations on a good dual band wifi adapter? | 04:58 |
| insmod | <PepperoniPizza> ah | 04:58 |
| deckard_ | yes, some sites wont work. they said clean out flash settings etc | 04:58 |
| pranav1 | how can i change workspace switching time (animation that precedes ctrl + alt + arrow keys ) ? | 04:58 |
| PepperoniPizza | insmod, i have volume up/down keys that worked on 12.04 and don't work on 13.04 for no apparent reason | 04:59 |
| holstein | thetenthdr: whatever works.. really.. i save reciepts, and i just try and buy with linux support, if possible | 04:59 |
| guest-xFFG8z | Hey all. | 04:59 |
| guest-xFFG8z | So i restarted my laptop today | 04:59 |
| guest-xFFG8z | And I cannot login | 04:59 |
| guest-xFFG8z | It accepts the password, takes me to a back screen, then back out to unity login | 04:59 |
| guest-xFFG8z | black screen* | 04:59 |
| holstein | deckard_: in what, friend? you are talking about in some web browser? you are visiting a page that says "clean out flash"? | 05:00 |
| guest-xFFG8z | I have not restarted in a few days, have applied the last few updates. | 05:00 |
| guest-xFFG8z | I see that one update apparently causes this behavior: | 05:00 |
| guest-xFFG8z | http://askubuntu.com/questions/316778/ubuntu-13-04-cant-login-to-unity-keep-going-back-to-login-screen-with-all-us | 05:00 |
| guest-xFFG8z | However, 1) I am able to login to the guest account | 05:00 |
| insmod | <PepperoniPizza> system/preferences/keyboard shortcuts | 05:00 |
| guest-xFFG8z | And 2) I have no idea how to install anything or change to the super user from within the guest account. | 05:00 |
| guest-xFFG8z | I have no access to sudo | 05:00 |
| guest-xFFG8z | Did Ubuntu seriously break its own OS through an update? | 05:01 |
| PepperoniPizza | insmod, i'm on xfce4 and yes I have checked, nothing mentioning those keys exists | 05:01 |
| PepperoniPizza | guest-xFFG8z, are you somehow surprised ? | 05:01 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: there is a recovery consol | 05:01 |
| guest-xFFG8z | PepperoniPizza, I guess not. I suppose I thought Ubuntu was trying to be A-material or something. | 05:01 |
| PepperoniPizza | what does A-material mean ? | 05:01 |
| insmod | <PepperoniPizza> i use balckbox | 05:02 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: i have had that.. i blew out the user config for unity.. you can do that from a live CD if its more comfortable | 05:02 |
| guest-xFFG8z | Ehm, higher quality standards I suppose. | 05:02 |
| insmod | <PepperoniPizza> wife gnome | 05:02 |
| PepperoniPizza | guest-xFFG8z, things get broken all the time | 05:02 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: like keyboards...check it... | 05:02 |
| PepperoniPizza | no one is perfect at writing code for all the dif hardware that exists | 05:02 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, lol | 05:02 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: this is not really an operating system quality issue.. its likely just user config problems.. in your /home config... blow them out and test | 05:02 |
| guest-xFFG8z | holstein, by recovery console you mean hold shift to drop to root prompt? | 05:03 |
| guest-xFFG8z | Sort of thing? | 05:03 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, kk let me plug in that k/b to this machine and check | 05:03 |
| guest-xFFG8z | I recall that now, thanks. | 05:03 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: you can use a live CD if you prefer.. | 05:03 |
| guest-xFFG8z | holstein, user config problems? Like my config of unity? | 05:03 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, yep the buttons work fine in windows | 05:03 |
| PepperoniPizza | ;-) | 05:03 |
| guest-xFFG8z | I didn't make any changes in the last couple months O.o And it has been fine. | 05:03 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: the config files in your /home, for unity.. they are "bad" and causing a login loop | 05:03 |
| iMnew | help | 05:03 |
| iMnew | whattodo | 05:04 |
| holstein | !ask | iMnew | 05:04 |
| ubottu | iMnew: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 05:04 |
| guest-xFFG8z | holstein, any idea what they might be called? | 05:04 |
| vtmna | hi anybody runs Dota 2 on Steam, the native version not though Wine | 05:04 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: ok - good to confirm. Any model number for this keyboard? | 05:04 |
| insmod | <PepperoniPizza> last iused xfcde it was a cde clone | 05:04 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, logitech mk320 | 05:05 |
| insmod | <PepperoniPizza> last iused xfce it was a cde clone | 05:05 |
| PepperoniPizza | just a cheapo wireless k/b | 05:05 |
| PepperoniPizza | insmod, I love xfce | 05:05 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: i would, if i were able to look.. they will be in ~/config somewhere.. grab them all, and just move them out, or rename them temporarily | 05:05 |
| insmod | <PepperoniPizza> balckbox and Eterm | 05:06 |
| guest-xFFG8z | holstein, can everything in ~/.config be moved without causing harm? | 05:06 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: harm? | 05:06 |
| guest-xFFG8z | such as autostart, compiz, gnome-session, etc? | 05:06 |
| guest-xFFG8z | Well.. | 05:06 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: you cant login, correct? im not asking you to delete anything | 05:06 |
| guest-xFFG8z | After moving them out or renaming them, would I be able to login? | 05:06 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: what will happen you you move them? | 05:06 |
| guest-xFFG8z | When they're moved I'll be missing configuration | 05:07 |
| guest-xFFG8z | I would think Unity/whatever uses that configuration will scream at me | 05:07 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: new ones get made, and, if the issue is in their, you will be able to login | 05:07 |
| guest-xFFG8z | And not function | 05:07 |
| guest-xFFG8z | Hmm... | 05:07 |
| guest-xFFG8z | Alright, will give it a shot | 05:07 |
| holstein | guest-xFFG8z: all the time, those files are *right* *where* you put them | 05:07 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: amazingly, we have reports of success by 'turning the keyboard off at the back and on again' http://is.gd/HuU3iO | 05:07 |
| guest-xFFG8z | One moment. Or 3. | 05:07 |

| iMnew | help? | 05:08 |
| holstein | iMnew: that might be as good as support gets for the device | 05:08 |
| holstein | iMnew: what do i do? try other drivers... and search online for better drivers | 05:09 |
| iMnew | holstein: meanswhat? | 05:09 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, didn't work | 05:09 |
| PepperoniPizza | i tried taking the batteries out too | 05:09 |
| holstein | iMnew: you are using some driver.. try another one | 05:09 |
| iMnew | holstein: ok but those arethe official driver | 05:09 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: I'm not overly surprised, but worth a punt | 05:09 |
| holstein | iMnew: you would need to ask the manufacturer if they have made one for you to use in ubuntu | 05:09 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, that link is broken also | 05:10 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: and you have tried showkey and looking for scancodes using dmesg|tail ? Er...link? | 05:10 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, the one you linked says bad gateway | 05:10 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, yes! showkey actually shows it as keycode 114/115 but when I try that it doesn't work | 05:11 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: ok - not very exciting. http://forums.logitech.com/t5/Keyboards-and-Keyboard-Mice/MK320-keyboard-hot-keys-not-working/td-p/545318/page/2 | 05:11 |
| iMnew | holstein: they have specified thatitis forlinux | 05:11 |
| holstein | iMnew: they? | 05:11 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, dmesg|tail -5 shows nothing | 05:11 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: shows nothign when you press the key? And showkey? And after that I'm out of ideas | 05:11 |
| holstein | iMnew: if you would like a volunteer to help googld search for answers, link what device you have | 05:12 |
| iMnew | holstein: sorry, canon mf3010 multifuntion printer which only printes and photocopy but cannot scan on ubuntu | 05:12 |
| PepperoniPizza | somsip, actually now dmesg is showing something about input: /devices/pci blah blah etc | 05:12 |

| iMnew | holstein: the wizrd from ubuntu doesnt have thespecific driver | 05:14 |
| holstein | iMnew: yes, but ther are *many* drivers to try there | 05:15 |
| somsip | PepperoniPizza: this is a new entry in dmesg? It's acting like the usb dongle has been plugged in again. Have you tried that in a different USB slot? Have you checked the batteries for the keyboard? And the mouse? Clutching at straws here to be honest... | 05:15 |
| holstein | iMnew: what driver are you trying? the one i linked? | 05:15 |
| guest-M4ojeM | Back, PepperoniPizza | 05:16 |
| guest-M4ojeM | Or wait, holstein | 05:16 |
| guest-M4ojeM | :) | 05:16 |
| guest-M4ojeM | And no joy. Renamed .config to .notconfig, made a new .config directory and made sure it had the same ownership and permissions as the original... | 05:17 |
| guest-M4ojeM | But got to the login screen and it still just booted me back out to login whenever I tried to get into my user | 05:17 |
| holstein | guest-M4ojeM: right | 05:17 |
| holstein | guest-M4ojeM: you did it wrong | 05:17 |
| guest-M4ojeM | oops :( | 05:17 |

| guest-zhQC4P | I just can't login to the normal account. | 05:23 |
| guest-zhQC4P | holstein, I think I just found my problem | 05:24 |
| guest-zhQC4P | First of all, i forgot all about tty, which would've solved the "how can I do these administrative things from guest account?" problem quite well. | 05:25 |
| guest-zhQC4P | Secondly, I used tty and logged in as the other user that was having issues, and received an error message about unexpected end of file in ~/.profile | 05:25 |
| guest-zhQC4P | There was a random "f" in it. | 05:25 |
| holstein | thats a good place to start | 05:25 |
| guest-zhQC4P | So let me try logging in now. | 05:25 |
| holstein | just move or rename that, and test | 05:26 |
| guest-zhQC4P | I removed the obviously out of place "f" -- I edited that file recently... would make this whole issue my fault. | 05:26 |
| guest-zhQC4P | In one of the most humbling ways | 05:27 |

| cfhowlett | erek, for diagnosing physical HDD problems, best to use the default tools for the HDD. Check the manufacturers site for such. | 06:13 |
| cfhowlett | erek, but what makes you suspect the HDD? | 06:13 |
| erek | cfhowlett: it had OSX on the drive, this is an iMac | 06:13 |
| erek | and im using ubuntu to try and diagnose it | 06:14 |

| CobaltHex | arent init.d all of the initial run services | 06:22 |
| CobaltHex | just enum those | 06:22 |
| Wardrop | CobaltHex: Well, there's multiple services, and they all named after the application. | 06:23 |
| erek | cfhowlett: what's your favorite coffee? | 06:23 |
| Wardrop | I guess that's what I want to do, enum all the init scripts | 06:23 |
| Wardrop | What's the best way to do that? | 06:23 |
| Wardrop | In Windows for example, you have the concept of an "automatic" service. If you see one of those in a stopped state, you know it should be running, and you can safely start it. | 06:23 |

| halfvollemelk | the NIC in my laptop is connected to a wireless network | 08:00 |
| halfvollemelk | is it possible to share the wireless internet connection using the atheros adapter? | 08:01 |
| halfvollemelk | or does it need to be wired? | 08:01 |
| vlt | lodenrogue: For (nearly) every command there’s a manual. Type `man xrandr` (w/o the `) | 08:01 |
| cfhowlett | lodenrogue, dang. I really hoped that would just work out of the box for you. Please post your details and be atient. | 08:01 |
| lodenrogue | ok thank you | 08:01 |
| wizrd | halfvollemelk: looks like you want to connect to 2 different networks with one nic | 08:01 |
| halfvollemelk | wizrd: not exactly. i'm connected to a wireless network on my laptop, and i'm running ubuntu in VMware. | 08:02 |
| halfvollemelk | the VM get's internet connection from my laptop's wireless connection | 08:03 |
| halfvollemelk | and i'm trying to expand it wirelessly using a USB wi-fi adapter in vmware | 08:03 |
| wizrd | just to be clear on this. Ubuntu host with a VM inside. You want to share the same NIC where the host connects to your network and the VM should use the same nic as a hotspot | 08:05 |
| halfvollemelk | Nope, laptop running VMware with ubuntu host inside. | 08:10 |

| arvut | cjs: cause it can't run 12.04 very well | 08:39 |
| arvut | and it currently runs 10.10 | 08:39 |
| arvut | iirc | 08:39 |
| arvut | maybe even 11.04, but it has gnome 2.6 with compiz fusion in semitransparent hexacube. not the best videocard, a intel g945 or something like that | 08:41 |
| arvut | might install gentoo on it instead, more customization that way | 08:41 |
| blazemore | arvut: For a lightweight system, look at Lubuntu (official Ubuntu derivative) or Crunchbang (Lightweight Debian derivative) | 08:42 |
| arvut | anyway, thx for the info. have a great day :) blazemore: I know about lubuntu and xubuntu. never liked them tho | 08:42 |

The blinds come back down after a few seconds. The Unlock button is dead. So it doesn't work, but it's not a complete freeze. It's also impossible to switch to another terminal, but ctrl-alt-del works. | 08:52 |

| freddofrog | folks I'm trying to do an install via virt-install using a local mirror that my ISP maintains.... so I'm entering the details manually.... of course the mirror has a dense tree made up of multiple distro's and versions... my question is: what part of the path is the installer looking for? just the /pub/ubuntu bit or do I need to give the path for the actual version I want or something else entirely? | 09:28 |
| vorsprung | jrib: ah! even numbers | 09:28 |
| histo | vorsprung: then next lts will be 14.04 | 09:29 |
| Baatti | freddofrog, I think that would depend on the directory tree. I would think if it's an ISP virtual installer, it would be simply /pub/ubuntu... but you know how these things go | 09:30 |
| freddofrog | Baatti, yeah I do :( .... I've tried a few different variations but the installer is choking on it... unfortunately there doesn't seem to be a way to even examine the error log as I'm installing a paravirt machine and can't alt-f4 to the correct VT | 09:31 |
| Baatti | freddofrog, I don't really know how to help you :-/ | 09:32 |
| freddofrog | Baatti, no probs... I'll just wait 'till someone else chimes in | 09:32 |
| freddofrog | :) | 09:32 |
| Baatti | freddofrog, can you exam the hierarchy from a browser window? | 09:33 |
| freddofrog | yes | 09:33 |
| freddofrog | what is it that I'm looking for....a specific file no doubt? | 09:33 |
| Baatti | freddofrog, I'm assuming you'd be looking for an .iso file | 09:33 |
| freddofrog | nope... | 09:34 |
| freddofrog | it's a VM install... rather like doing a pxe install | 09:34 |
| freddofrog | actually scratch that | 09:34 |
| Baatti | yeah I've never done that | 09:34 |
| freddofrog | it's the same stuff that you'd provide if you were booting from a CD but wanted the packages from an ubuntu mirror... but not one of the one's the installer knows about | 09:34 |
| freddofrog | Baatti, nevermind... I just had idea of something else to try | 09:35 |
| freddofrog | thanks | 09:35 |
| Baatti | so then I did help! | 09:35 |
| * Baatti encourages himself | 09:35 | |
| freddofrog | :) | 09:35 |
| iceroot_ | freddofrog: the installer is using the normal syntax which is used in /etc/apt/sources.list so its searching for the release name and the architecture. like this archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/raring | 09:36 |

| mayankmadan | ~/neverland/neverland | 09:44 |
| blazemore | T3X: No, but you could use sed, awk etc to make it a csv, and import that into Excel. But it would depend on the command and the nature of its output | 09:44 |
| adsc | mayankmadan: no idea, then | 09:44 |
| Baatti | who owns the directory? | 09:44 |
| T3X | blazemore: i did that but the issue is all the printed columns will open in only one excel cell, i want each column goes to each cell | 09:45 |
| * ss_haze listens to some music, and chills | 09:45 | |

| T3X | jrib: i am not yet been able to save it as csv. | 09:47 |
| jrib | T3X: why? | 09:48 |
| T3X | jrib: how do i do it jut ping localhost >> save.csv? | 09:48 |
| jrib | T3X: sure, you may want to actually use something like a comma (',') to separate the fields though. If you say what you actually want to accomplish in the end there may be a better way. | 09:50 |
| T3X | jrib: ok one sec | 09:51 |
| T3X | jrib: this is my script's output http://pastebin.com/JfWWPZET i save the output by using ./scrip.sh >> test.txt . Now what i want to accomplish is to save the output in excel sheet and as you see there is date, upload speet or download speed and the speed; and i want each of this parameter in different cells | 09:56 |
| jrib | T3X: grab each field with awk or cut and print them separated by commas | 09:57 |
| histo | T3X: then use ' ' as a seperator | 09:57 |

| Baatti | Shane_, you need to mount the iso file, not burn it | 10:11 |
| blazemore | vl4kn0: If you want your application to have a screenshot in the software-center, it has to be in the repositories. | 10:12 |
| Shane_ | I burned it with imgburn to a dvd from another pc | 10:12 |

| Serelijah | Sure will. Boot USBs interchangeable from livecds? | 10:40 |
| blazemore | Serelijah: Yes | 10:41 |
| MonkeyDust | sotrudnik nothing wrong there, what's the exact error you get ? | 10:41 |
| sotrudnik | oh wow, after `dpkg --configure -a' apt-get -f install started to work, not complain! | 10:42 |
| Serelijah | Great. While I'm looking for an empty one I have lying aorund, is there anything I should know about choosing the exact version of Linux? (such as the desktop environment) | 10:42 |
| blazemore | Serelijah: if it's an old netbook, look at Lubuntu, which is based on Ubuntu but uses the lightweight LXDE desktop environment | 10:42 |
| blazemore | Serelijah: There are a LOT of distributions of Linux, however. Choosing an Ubuntu official derivative, or an Ubuntu-based distribution like Mint is what I recommend for new users, as it makes it easier for them to find help | 10:43 |
| Serelijah | Right. Though I can always dualboot/reinstall if I need to, don't I? | 10:43 |

| sotrudnik | MonkeyDust: I edited sources.list to add debian's sid, because ubuntu's libreoffice base comes without report builder, which is very essential for our database solutions | 10:46 |

| hdon | hi all :) why is it so easy to lock up my system hard with a single process allocating tons of memory and using all of my CPU? it seems to me that in the past, the kernel was responsive on the VT no matter what abuse a process was committing. i could Control+Alt+F1, login, and kill the process, without it taking ten minutes. these days, on ubuntu at least, it's easy to make a programming mistake and lock up my entire desktop. what can i d | 11:28 |

| shurtagul | lotuspsychje: the terminal came to an end-user license agreement, am i done? | 12:37 |
| adamk | Qantouri1c: That sentence makes no sense to me. It is true that the nvidia driver requires disabling the opensource nouveau driver. | 12:37 |

| adamk | Qantouri1c: Ubuntu does support the nvidia proprietary driver. In fact, there are packages for it in the repos. | 12:41 |
| BluesKaj | adamk, installing the nvidia driver unloads and removes the nouveau driver | 12:41 |
| adamk | BluesKaj: I never said it didn't. | 12:41 |
| Qantouri1c | adamk: you can't run drm drivers (by the information given earlier) and be running nvidia and exepct it to work without crashing | 12:41 |
| adamk | Qantouri1c: Yes, I know this. | 12:42 |
| Qantouri1c | so that implies removing the nouveau drm drivers, witch can't be done without removing xorg according to the deps | 12:42 |
| adamk | Qantouri1c: You don't need to remove anything... | 12:42 |

| tomreyn | since ubuntu dropped alternative installers, does this mean that full disk encryption is factually no longer supported? | 12:50 |
| lotuspsychje | !encrypt | tomreyn | 12:50 |
| ubottu | tomreyn: For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory | 12:50 |
| tomreyn | lotuspsychje: full disk encryption is not "encrypted private directories", though | 12:50 |
| tomreyn | i'm referring to FDE with dm-crypt/luks | 12:51 |
| === hadriel is now known as headbuster | ||
| otak | chunkyhead: also alt-<no.of window> | 12:51 |
| OerHeks | tomreyn, full disc encryption is now standard option in the ubuntu iso, also lvm/lvm encrypted | 12:51 |
| === headbuster is now known as hdbuster | ||
| BluesKaj | ctrl+alt+F1 to F6 will give you 6 diffiernt windows in irssi if you want to run that many , chunkyhead | 12:52 |
| tomreyn | OerHeks: "now" refers to which release? | 12:52 |
| OerHeks | tomreyn, 13.04 last time i checked | 12:52 |
| tomreyn | i was trying with the 12.04 amd64 ubiquity installer yesterday and couldn't find any mention of dm-crypt, luks, full-disk encryption, encrypted partition/device anywhere (including manual partitioning) | 12:53 |
| shurtagul | rebooted, still no luck ith flash ;~; | 12:54 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, do you have flashplugin-installer installed | 12:54 |
| BluesKaj | ? | 12:54 |
| sotrudnik | shurtagul: flash is slow, buggy, proprietary | 12:54 |
| shurtagul | yes i do | 12:55 |
| sotrudnik | shurtagul: and avail only for 1 architecture | 12:55 |
| shurtagul | sotrudnik: ? | 12:55 |
| sotrudnik | shurtagul: I don't use Adobe(R) Flash(R) for more than 3 years | 12:55 |
| lotuspsychje | sotrudnik: what you using as ubuntu alternative? | 12:56 |
| shurtagul | sotrudnik: you dont watch videos? | 12:56 |
| sotrudnik | lotuspsychje: hmm? html5 | 12:56 |
| sotrudnik | and sfrom.net | 12:56 |
| shurtagul | bleh | 12:56 |
| MonkeyDust | but embedded videos don't always work in chromium, with html5 activated | 12:56 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, suggest you download the linux version of flashplayer and extract it from the tarball , then copy the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 12:56 |
| sotrudnik | MonkeyDust: you can always download them | 12:57 |
| shurtagul | BluesKaj: how would i begin to do that | 12:57 |
| aiziyuer | #qt | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, go to the adobe site and download the linux version , think it's the 11.2 | 12:58 |
| tomreyn | actually i guess FDE with 12.04 may be possible using the server installlation image. | 12:59 |
| shurtagul | BluesKaj: which shousld i download, theres four options | 13:00 |
| sotrudnik | .deb | 13:00 |
| sotrudnik | fifth option: nothing | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | adobe flashplayer for linux 11.2 version | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | sotrudnik, if there's deb , then that's news to me | 13:01 |
| shurtagul | BluesKaj: i mean, YUM, tar.gz, rpm, or apt | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | tar.gz | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | is the an apt , the use that | 13:01 |
| hadriel | Why is my wireless card channel stuck to -1? I can't change it as well, says device is busy. | 13:01 |
| blazemore | shurtagul: first, try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall flashplugin-installer" | 13:01 |
| BluesKaj | blazemore, I had the same issue , it makes no difference | 13:02 |
| OerHeks | flash works fine with the prop. driver for your videocard | 13:02 |
| BluesKaj | OerHeks,not for everyone | 13:02 |
| shurtagul | what should i do with the tar.gz? | 13:03 |
| sotrudnik | apt would be okay | 13:04 |
| Bower^Work | does ubuntu have something similar to ctrl+alt+del? since installing ubuntu at work i've sometimes been experiencing unresponsive applications which seems to eventually kill everything else. any ways to diagnose slowdowns/hanging would be appreciated too | 13:04 |
| chunkyhead | lotuspsychje: ah thanks! usually i use the terminal in that alt+right/left works but on tty it just switches between ttys | 13:04 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, right click on it and "extract here , folder will appear ., copy the flashplayer.so to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins | 13:04 |
| chunkyhead | otak: ^ | 13:04 |
| === maxx is now known as Guest79692 | ||
| MonkeyDust | Bower^Work alt-f2, then type xkill and click on the frozen application | 13:05 |
| chunkyhead | otak: actually the one above that | 13:05 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, then you may have to reboot | 13:05 |
| Bower^Work | thanks MonkeyDust , i'll keep that in mind for future | 13:05 |
| shurtagul | BluesKaj: ok, thanks | 13:06 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, i had to install it an hr ago and a reboot was needed to make it work | 13:06 |
| shurtagul | How do i paste it in the plugins folder :c | 13:10 |
| bgardner | shurtagul: Extract it to your home directory, then from a terminal do 'sudo cp flashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/' | 13:13 |
| occ | has anyone installed ubuntu on aspire s7(ultrabook)? on some forums it says you need to disable RAID ..... as i understand it RAID is for combining multiple hard disks, and a lot of ultrabooks have this hybrid setup........ however every shop i go to assures me their s7 only has one hard drive in it... are they wrong? | 13:14 |
| DeLorean731 | I'm new to mounting drives in Linux. I have a drive that is not auto-mounting (yes, the drive has issues, I'm trying to mount it so I can use ddrescue on it). Maybe it's smart to make sure it's actually not auto-mounting correctly. It is not in /media, this means it's not auto-mounting, correct? I also typed "fdisk -l" and did not see it. How can I manually mount it if I don't see it there? | 13:16 |
| shurtagul | cp: cannot stat `flashplayer.so': No such file or directory | 13:16 |
| auronandace | !mount | DeLorean731 | 13:16 |
| ubottu | DeLorean731: mount is used to attach devices to directories. See also https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount | 13:16 |
| Bower^Work | shurtagul, make sure you're either CD'ed into the directory flashplayer.so sits on or provide a full path to it | 13:16 |
| Bower^Work | shurtagul, e.g. ~shurtagul/Desktop/flashplayer.so | 13:17 |
| Pici | DeLorean731: I don't think you need (or want) to mount the drive to use ddrescue. I was under the impression that you needed to run it against the device node. | 13:19 |
| shurtagul | UGH | 13:19 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: Also, ddrescue works with unmounted devices, usually. Be sure to check the docs. | 13:19 |
| DeLorean731 | Pici: Excellent! How do I find the device node? :\ | 13:20 |
| Pici | DeLorean731: Do you know what entry it has under /dev/ ? | 13:20 |
| DeLorean731 | I actually see it on lsusb, but I don't know which it is under /dev/ | 13:20 |
| DeLorean731 | I'll try to figure that out, 1 sec | 13:20 |
| DeLorean731 | I see the same number of entries in /dev with the drive plugged in and without it plugged in... I'mg uessing that means it's not showing up under /dev? | 13:22 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: Check output from dmesg after plugging it in. | 13:22 |
| shurtagul | so the .so file is in my home folder, i did "sudo cp flashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/" but its not found | 13:23 |
| bgardner | shurtagul: Do 'sudo cp flashplayer.so /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/ | pastebinit' and give us the resulting link. | 13:24 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, just copy it , then alt+f2 , sudo gedit /usr/lib/mozilla/ plugins , paste it there | 13:24 |
| shurtagul | cp: cannot stat `flashplayer.so': No such file or directory | 13:25 |
| shurtagul | You are trying to send an empty document, exiting. | 13:25 |
| Bower^Work | shurtagul, presumably you aren't in the your home directory on the command line | 13:25 |
| Bower^Work | like i told you, either CD there and provide a full path to the file | 13:26 |
| Bower^Work | or* | 13:26 |
| shurtagul | how do i CD there | 13:26 |
| Bower^Work | cd ~ | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | oops let me rephrase that , sudo nautilus /usr/lib/mozilla/ plugins , paste it there | 13:26 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul,^ | 13:26 |
| Bower^Work | type fl then press tab | 13:26 |
| DeLorean731 | bgardner: scsi22 : usb-storage 2-1.1:1.0 | 13:27 |

| bluethundr | hello.. how do I restart the ssh *client* under ubuntu 13? I checked /etc/init.d and didn't find an ssh service oddly | 13:29 |
| bluethundr | also tried service ssh restart and service sshd restart | 13:29 |
| bgardner | bluethundr: The ssh client does not run as a service. | 13:29 |
| jjavaholic | how would you diagnose indicator-datetime problems? | 13:30 |
| bluethundr | bgardner: oh ok good to know. | 13:30 |
| shurtagul | why cant i do this ;; | 13:30 |
| bluethundr | Any idea how I can fix annoying timeouts on the ssh client side? | 13:30 |
| Bower^Work | shurtagul, what do you think that does? | 13:30 |
| shurtagul | i dont understand bower | 13:31 |
| Bower^Work | you ask why you can't do something. i'm asking what you think that something actually does | 13:31 |
| DeLorean731 | bgardner: sorry for the delay pastebin.com/nkNKSmp0 | 13:31 |
| shurtagul | All i want to do is get this dumb file in this dumb directory | 13:32 |
| bgardner | bluethundr: Do you have timeouts when you try to connect to the IP address instead of the name? | 13:32 |
| bluethundr | bgardner: good question. I guess I can try that | 13:33 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: That looks like you did the command fresh after a reboot, but before plugging in the device (or it was already plugged in during the boot), is that right? | 13:33 |
| DeLorean731 | bgardner: that is not right at all | 13:35 |
| blazemore | bluethundr: Edit or create the file ~/.ssh/config and add this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5868091/ | 13:35 |
| DeLorean731 | bgardner: it's one of the first things I did after waking the computer from sleep, but I have tons of things open... | 13:35 |
| DeLorean731 | bgardner: also, the device was plugged in while I did that command | 13:36 |
| DeLorean731 | bgardner: lsusb shows the drive interestingly | 13:36 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, look in your /home/user/downloads folder , is the file there? | 13:36 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: I don't see anything in the dmesg output that would appear to relate to your device. That may mean we just didn't capture enough of it. Do this instead: 'dmesg | pastebinit' | 13:37 |
| shurtagul | the file is in /home/libflashplayer.so | 13:37 |
| shurtagul | also just noticed the name of the file, cant remember if it was always like that | 13:37 |

| occ | also apparently you can disable raid in ubuntu live cd with sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda, is there any difference to doing this and how you can apparently disable raid in the BIOS? is one method safer? | 13:44 |
| xxxxxxxx | nope | 13:44 |
| blazemore | xxxxxxxx: Then it's not plugged in | 13:45 |
| wizrd | or RIP | 13:45 |

| blazemore | xxxxxxxx: I don't think it is | 13:48 |

| === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere | ||
| DeLorean731 | bgardner: sorry again for the delay, yes it's a drive enclosure | 13:50 |
| blazemore | xxxxxxxx: If it's really not being detected by the BIOS, it won't be detected in Linux either (or Windows, or anything else) - you could try resetting your BIOS to default settings | 13:50 |
| xxxxxxxx | does partitiioning error leads to physical damaage of hdd? | 13:51 |
| blazemore | xxxxxxxx: It's unlikely pulling the LiveUSB out during the partitioning process will break a drive to the extent it can never be used again | 13:51 |
| blazemore | xxxxxxxx: Although I am concerned it's not displaying in the BIOS | 13:51 |
| SP33D | -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory | 13:51 |
| SP33D | is the exact error :D | 13:51 |
| blazemore | SP33D: what about "free -m" | 13:51 |

| sotrudnik | only one file there /etc/apt/sources.list.d/precise-partner.list | 13:54 |
| blazemore | occ: It depends on the implementation of RAID, but to be sure, you might as well set your drives to ACHI in BIOS | 13:55 |
| sotrudnik | with only one line I postd above | 13:55 |
| blazemore | sotrudnik: try "sudo apt-get update" first | 13:55 |
| sotrudnik | blazemore: did; the same | 13:55 |
| blazemore | xxxxxxxx: No because your drive hasn't even been detected by the BIOS | 13:55 |
| occ | thanks blaze. i will try that too | 13:56 |
| blazemore | sotrudnik: You really broke a lot when you added those Debian packages earlier. Try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6" | 13:56 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: You have something strange happening with that device. Try to get your machine as idle as possible, then unplug the USB drive, count 5 and plug it back in. Once done, immediately do 'dmesg -n 100 | pastebinit' and give us the link. | 13:56 |
| sotrudnik | blazemore: Reinstallation of libc6 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. | 13:56 |
| blazemore | bgardner: He's running off a USB drive, his problem is with his internal hdd | 13:56 |
| xxxxxxxx | blazemore: it was once detected before i had tried to start my pc without liveusb.. | 13:57 |
| SP33D | ok i am out of memory i think :D | 13:57 |
| SP33D | now i cant even edit a file :D | 13:57 |
| bgardner | blazemore: I'm aware, but the USB device appears to auto-disconnect within 2 seconds of plugging it in. | 13:57 |
| blazemore | sotrudnik: sudo apt-get remove locales; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install | 13:57 |
| BluesKaj | shurtagul, using chromium ? | 13:57 |
| blazemore | My apologies bgardner I thought you were talking about xxxxxxxx | 13:58 |
| sotrudnik | blazemore: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. | 13:58 |
| DeLorean731 | bgardner: when you mean idle as possible, kill all processes not vital to the system running? | 13:58 |

| david_ | Does anyone know a cheap Single board cp with wifi? | 13:58 |

| jrib | Madwill: yes, but it's an odd thing to want. You can use crontab if you really want to do that | 14:25 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: Understood, we'll come back to that. Try this: 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' | 14:26 |

| dakotawulfy | or a power cable | 14:30 |
| DeLorean731 | dakotawulfy: the drive DEFINITELY has issues. Plugged in with a SATA cable on a windows box I ran a bunch of data recovery software and all it got was read errors (1/3 of the programs I tried could even see the drive) this is all an effort to run ddrescue on it | 14:31 |
| DeLorean731 | dakotawulfy: gparted does not see this drive | 14:31 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: Is it powered from a separate cable, or does it draw all power from the USB? | 14:32 |

| DeLorean731 | bgardner: let me link you to the exact usb thing I'm using, it is not powered (hence the powering from PSU) | 14:33 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: Last thing I can think of, try this: 'dir /dev/disk/* | pastebinit'. If that fails to show the USB-to-device mapping, then I think your enclosure is defective. | 14:33 |

| aaronjlin | hi all, I recently found the debian handbook (http://debian-handbook.info) and I was wondering if there was something similar for ubuntu, a sysadmin guide for ubuntu rather than a beginner-level user guide | 14:36 |
| aaronjlin | something very in-depth for ubuntu server | 14:36 |
| bgardner | DeLorean731: Ok, I'll check that. And I had a typo in my command, sorry. Here is the correct one: 'dir -Fl /dev/disk/* | pastebinit' | 14:36 |

| Darael | aaronjlin: One can adjust the release number in the URL for the Server Guide as appropriate. Just a note. | 14:43 |
| KaiForce | amrit_: important data has backups. This was just data. That being said, you might try something like http://www.ntfs.com/recovery-toolkit.htm | 14:44 |
| Darael | unknown_had2: In general, on *nix systems, including ubuntu, temporary files go in /tmp or ~/.cache. Which is appropriate should be easy enough to determine from the name. | 14:44 |
| kostkon_ | Pess_, to make sure it isn't being recognised, in a terminal give: hcitool dev without sudo in front. do you get any output? | 14:44 |
| bgardner | unknown_had2: Also, the JDK provides for getting access to the temp file path. Check the JDK docs. | 14:45 |

| blazemore | xkernel_: One of your Chrome extensions is doing it | 15:48 |
| xkernel_ | blazemore, what's your extension? | 15:49 |
| irreverant | zso your having problems with Ubuntu Studio? | 15:49 |
| blazemore | xkernel_: A chrome extension you have installed is causing problems - disable them all and re-enable them one-by-one until you can reproduce the problem | 15:49 |
| phix | Daughain: You have it up and running yet? | 15:50 |

| Surb | schnuffle, thanks for clarifying ! I used tracepath github.com . It gave me 31 outputs with output after no.14 had "no reply" . The end result was : Too many hops:pmtu 1492; Resume : pmtu 1492 | 15:51 |
| schnuffle | Surb: no reply only means that the host doesn't answer ICMP request, and max hop by default is 30 | 15:53 |
| schnuffle | Surb: at least you see that your MTU is 1492 | 15:53 |
| === rbxs|Zzzz is now known as rbxs | ||
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| Surb | schnuffle, what do you mean by "host doesn't answer ICMP requests" ? Does it mean that the host is not sending packets after 14 hops ? | 15:55 |
| Surb | schnuffle, what are hops BTW ? | 15:55 |
| schnuffle | Surb: as your pc doesn't have a direct cable to the target it is passed over from one network device to the next until it reaches the target and each device is a hop | 15:56 |
| Surb | schnuffle, thanks ! | 15:57 |

| irreverant | zso has this problem since i'm not very familiar with Ubuntu studio maybe someone can help him | 15:59 |
| irreverant | The problem is that he cannot copy the file system be.Letöltött OPENBVE-be | 15:59 |
| Surb | schnuffle, I see that my mtu is 1492, but I had changed it earlier by going to the link you suggested. I went to /etc/ppp/options and changed the mtu size. Atleast that is what was wrtten in the link you gave me. It means the that editing the file manually and changing the mtu size had no effect. | 15:59 |
| shurtagul | I said fuck it to flash, go html5 ftw | 15:59 |
| schnuffle | Surb: I don't think the problem is really MTU related as it happens only for certain web sites, but I'm not enough net work specialist to give a guarantie | 15:59 |
| Daughain | Read the webpage, and it doesnt help. | 15:59 |
| h00k | shurtagul: please mind the language in here | 15:59 |
| irreverant | It should be loaded onto one of two things /user /share /games /obve but the admin rights | 16:00 |
| Surb | schnuffle, I can understand that ! :-) | 16:00 |
| schnuffle | Surb: ? to what value did you change it? | 16:00 |

| blazemore | fatNERD: On Chrome enter "chrome://plugins" in the address bar and hit Enter. In the top right of the page, click the [+]Details button. Scroll down to find Adobe Flash and you should see at least two plugins: could you please tell me what each one says under "location" ? | 16:00 |
| shurtagul | after spending most the night trying to get linux working properly, then no flash, html5 really is the only thing that works | 16:01 |
| schnuffle | shurtagul: some problematic graphic type? | 16:01 |
| wheatthin | blazemore, it could also be settings in chrome://flags as well | 16:01 |
| Surb | schnuffle, I initially made it 1492 and went on gradually decreasing it. The current size I've set is 1350. But I don't think it had any effect as the mtu is still 1492 | 16:01 |
| fatNERD | blazemore: will try. thanks | 16:01 |
| wheatthin | but first things' first | 16:02 |
| shurtagul | schnuffle, idk, the video just doesnt show up | 16:02 |
| zsoltika | I cannot be making a copy into the usr/share/games/OBV, library because a message is access denied comes outI | 16:03 |
| schnuffle | shurtagul: I've had some pcs with nvidia all having the problem, there're a lot of threads about flash problems. I finally dropped the old boxes and got intel and ati graphics without such problems | 16:03 |
| zsoltika | But I'm a systeme Administrator | 16:04 |
| schnuffle | zsoltika: you need root rights so use sudo | 16:04 |
| Daughain | phix, Still nothing. | 16:04 |
| schnuffle | zsoltika: the admin user is not different to any other user but having sudo rights | 16:04 |
| shurtagul | schnuffle, all i did was change from vista to ubuntu, then since ubuntu was slow (crappy computer) i installed xfce, but when it was running vista flash worked perfectly | 16:05 |

| marawan2 | blazemore: and the defauly lubuntu desktop is deleted | 16:11 |

| blazemore | marawan2: No, although you should reboot afterwards, and be aware there is quite a lot to download | 16:11 |
| blazemore | marawan2: it won't remove any packages, no | 16:12 |
| Darael | marawan2, blazemore: Of course, installing a *buntu-desktop package won't so much turn one Ubuntu derivative into another as *add* a new one. To finish the "conversion" it's necessary to remove some packages. ISTR there's a page on Psychocats to help with that. | 16:12 |
| blazemore | Yeah marawan2 if I were you, judging by how surprised you were that the xubuntu-desktop metapackage even existed, I would just leave it as having both | 16:12 |
| marawan2 | blazemore: wouldn't be easier if i just download the iso, burn it and boot from that the new *buntu | 16:12 |
| blazemore | marawan2: It's a lot more difficult to remove one than add another one | 16:12 |
| fatNERD | blazemore: thanks for your help. It did solve the problem. | 16:13 |
| blazemore | marawan2: Yes, but it will be a new, different installation | 16:13 |

| blazemore | marawan2: None of your programs or files will be there | 16:13 |

| marawan2 | blazemore: u r right | 16:13 |
| blazemore | marawan2: But it is better, yes | 16:13 |
| blazemore | marawan2: My actual advice is, back up what files you want, and do a clean installation of Xubuntu | 16:13 |
| marawan2 | blazemore: is there a link for how to change the lubuntu desk to xubuntu desk | 16:13 |
| blazemore | marawan2: step 1: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 16:14 |
| wheatthin | lol | 16:14 |
| marawan2 | ? | 16:14 |
| Darael | blazemore, marawan2: To remove the lubuntu packages after installing xubuntu-desktop (although personally I'd suggest installing the xubuntu-desktop *role*, which can be done by specifying it as "xubuntu-desktop^"), follow instructions at http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-ubuntu/ | 16:14 |
| wheatthin | step 2: reboot | 16:14 |
| wheatthin | otherwise, you can just install xfce4, and it'll add a second desktop environment | 16:15 |
| Darael | marawan2: Or rather, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-lubuntu/ | 16:15 |
| marawan2 | wheatthin: ya tell me more about that | 16:16 |
| Daughain | phix, The option isnt on either of my systems, and both have nautilus-share installed and up to date. | 16:16 |

| marawan2 | blazemore: so it is not possible to run it from the desktop ( on windows you could) | 16:25 |
| blazemore | marawan2: Ubuntu (and as far as I know, Lubuntu) comes with a program for putting an iso onto a USB flash drive, it's called Startup Disk Creator or similar | 16:25 |

| FDE_Please | SonikkuAmerica: AHhh I see it now, but I want to "do something else" | 17:46 |
| SonikkuAmerica | FDE_Please: What is this "Something else" you wish to do? | 17:47 |
| FDE_Please | And you the encrypt whole disk is only available in "Erase whole disk" | 17:47 |
| FDE_Please | SonikkuAmerica: my own partition layout | 17:47 |
| SonikkuAmerica | FDE_Please: I think it has to set up LVM to be encrypted. (The other flavors seem to plainly say this, esp. Kubuntu) | 17:47 |
| columb | How can I force system to use more ram in order to get better performance? Haven't noticed usage above 4GB, while my system have 8. | 17:47 |
| FDE_Please | SonikkuAmerica: so then I will set up LVM | 17:48 |
| SonikkuAmerica | FDE_Please: But you have to smash your whole disk to do that. | 17:48 |
| SwedeMike | columb: please paste output from uname -a | 17:48 |

| columb | I'm already on x64. | 17:48 |
| columb | htop properly shows 8GB. | 17:49 |
| SwedeMike | columb: so where are you seeing the 4gb limit? | 17:49 |
| FDE_Please | Also SonikkuAmerica the installer only lets me "erase whole disk" on 1 of my disks... the one with ubuntu already on it. I can't even "erase whole disk" on the disk I want! | 17:49 |
| columb | No, seems like system doesn't really need that much RAM for work. But may be I could force it to use more? To somehow reduce CPU load, for exmaple. | 17:50 |
| SonikkuAmerica | FDE_Please: Actually, you have to click "Continue" to select whatever disk it is. | 17:50 |
| FDE_Please | oh ok. | 17:50 |

| Rarrikins | schnuffle: Does curl include automation for getting the entire site or would it have to be scripted? | 17:54 |
| columb | lelebart, it's something related to it's config. | 17:54 |
| schnuffle | netlar: based on debian and using the repos is a difference | 17:54 |
| lelebart | columb, i switched almost every apci=off noapci etc.. | 17:55 |

| lelebart | *apm | 17:56 |
| lelebart | *_ | 17:56 |
| schnuffle | netlar: it means they use debian as upstream but change things and use their own repos | 17:57 |
| schnuffle | aah, downstream | 17:57 |
| netlar | schnuffle: so when debian gets changes they are incorporated into ubuntu | 17:58 |

| aaron_ | nvidia geforce with cuda | 18:30 |
| nilsec | I cannot set a custom color without losing transparency in the dash completely. | 18:30 |
| saiarcot895 | aubrmgedy: the dpkg will install to the system; to run as a different user, I believe you have to first do "sudo su <user>" (without brackets) and then run the program from there | 18:31 |
| saiarcot895 | aubrmgedy: I think that will cause the program to use that person's home folder instead | 18:31 |
| aubrmgedy | saiarcot895, thanks. it worked. | 18:32 |
| aubrmgedy | saiarcot895, too earely. it didn't.. the other user doesn't have a password | 18:33 |

| superboot | Hi all. Is there a way to know if a package was installed with the system install, or if it was installed by apt-get install? | 18:51 |
| llutz | aubrmgedy: and btw this will fail most likely. "sudo dpkg -i file.deb" | 18:51 |
| flxmmr | aubrmgedy: you can download your source-package, then extract it maybe into ~/bin/src. There you should find a file named configure – execute that with the help option and look how you have to set the $PATH to where you want to install. then it should be a simple make, make install (if you have all deps) | 18:51 |
| aubrmgedy | flxmmr, i have the source, but it's too much work... thank you everyone | 18:52 |
| llutz | !checkinstall | flxmmr you better don't use "make install" | 18:52 |
| ubottu | flxmmr you better don't use "make install": checkinstall is a wrapper to "make install", useful for installing programs you compiled. It will create a .deb package, which will be listed in the APT database and can be uninstalled like other packages. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CheckInstall - Read the warnings at the top and bottom of that web page, and DO NOT interrupt CheckInstall while it's running! | 18:52 |

| aubrmgedy | darrell09thomas, make a bootable usb? | 18:56 |
| wilee-nilee | darrell09thomas, easy, a ntfs partition with a boot flag, and extract the iso to the usb with the archive manager. | 18:57 |
| darrell09thomas | how do i do that ive used unetbooting didnt work | 18:57 |
| holstein | darrell09thomas: i would ask in a windows channel about how to install windows.. otherwise, try http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/tool-to-create-windows-usb-install.html which is not supported here | 18:57 |
| darrell09thomas | how do i do the boot flag bit i can do the rest | 18:57 |
| flxmmr | alainus: what do you mean with trouble? | 18:58 |
| wilee-nilee | alainus, Have you messed with the bootrepair app yet? | 18:58 |
| wilee-nilee | darrell09thomas, Use gparted a right click has the set flags | 18:58 |
| alainus | flxmmr, wilee-nilee: I tried using the boot-repair app but it outputs an error, saying that it can't be used on 64bit machines and that I have to make another bootable cd with some "Linux-Secure-Remix-64bit" iso. I don't have an extra USB key so I don't have that option. | 18:59 |

| joelwallis | Z shell is a stable tool to use also in production servers? And how about oh-my-zsh configuration framework? | 19:02 |
| wilee-nilee | alainus, Your error is on a sdb what is it? everything looks good you might just unplug the sdb and run nthe basic fix, I can give you a chroot link to load the mbr. | 19:04 |
| wilee-nilee | alainus, Unplug the ipod and run the basic fix. | 19:05 |
| alainus | wilee-nilee, sdb is some apple ishuffle thing. | 19:05 |
| alainus | wilee-nilee, really? huh. What do you mean the basic fix? boot-repair ? | 19:06 |
| wilee-nilee | alainus, yeah, sdb is a usb right? | 19:06 |
| alainus | wilee-nilee, yep | 19:06 |
| alainus | wilee-nilee, sda is the concern | 19:06 |
| alainus | ok I unplugged it, and I'm running boot-repair again | 19:06 |
| wilee-nilee | alainus, That is one of the errors, there is one in ubuntu but it basically looks good, this if ubuntu is okay a pretty easy fix, I would default to the boot repair, not persoanlly but as advice. | 19:07 |
| alainus | wilee-nilee, same thing. http://paste.ubuntu.com/5868972/ . It still gives me: 64bits detected. Please use this software in a 64bits session. (Please use Linux-Secure-Remix-64bit (www.sourceforge.net/p/linux-secure) which contains a 64bits-compatible version of this software.) This will enable this feature. | 19:09 |

| === lelebart^afk is now known as lelebart | ||
| alainus | wilee-nilee, it is. I used it to install lubuntu on my 32bit notebook. Should I make a 64bit usb ? | 19:12 |

| alainus | (I thought grub didn't care about bitness) | 19:12 |
| wilee-nilee | alainus, The linux secure is by the same author as boot repair, they are pretty good here, I would try it or use a 64 bit iso. | 19:12 |
| james | Hello everyone how's it going? IS this a place where I can find help for Ubuntu 13.04? | 19:13 |
| wilee-nilee | alainus, Never seen this problem, but the processes bulit into the bootrepair may have a 32 or 64 bit component not sure. | 19:14 |
| BluesKaj | james, yes it is | 19:14 |
| wilee-nilee | james, Yep. | 19:14 |
| lelebart | columb: it didn't do the trick. | 19:14 |

| wilee-nilee | alainus, No problem, the bootrepair has become a standard advice tool although I have not used it, I new how to fix this before it appeared, so have never needed it is all. Seems to help many so I have have adapted to its recommendation. | 19:16 |
| james | Fantastic! I am going to school for computer networking and need to learn Linux. The program we will be using requires microsoft silverlight. I tried to use Wine and failed because I never used it before. Would one of you happen to know how I can make this work? I hate the idea of learning Linux on a windows machine | 19:17 |
| wilee-nilee | james, What's the program? | 19:18 |

| wilee-nilee | james, I would just run windows in a vm in linux, wine is a at best unstable environment from my experiences just checking it out. | 19:21 |
| james | I found an ad on for browsers called moonlight but never had any luck. Yeah, what it is is we log on and it plays videos of people explaining things about linux. then there are virtual labs on the site so we can better understand linux command line etc. Though there are labs and I don't need my Linux partition to learn it, I would much rather follow along and make things happen with my actual ubuntu partition. | 19:22 |
| lelebart | btw, this is how grub is set http://paste.ubuntu.com/5869010/ | 19:22 |
| auronandace | james: that is ironic, linux learning material delivered in silverlight | 19:23 |
| wilee-nilee | james, Yeah, I understand, I would try the user agent switcher addon in firefox and see if it tricks the website, as a test. | 19:23 |
| james | I know! Thats what i said | 19:23 |
| james | Ok I will try to find the adon | 19:23 |

| Daughain | Whats the command to run a java file from termina;l? | 19:28 |
| holstein | !java | 19:28 |
| ubottu | To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 19:28 |
| saiarcot895 | Daughain: java -jar "file" | 19:29 |

| llutz | holycoww: you install openssh-server on your headless vm, create a non-privileged user, use "ssh username@host" to login, and if really needed you use su/sudo to gain root-access. you don't ssh in as root | 19:32 |

| wilee-nilee | TheAlliedFleet, its not I believe. | 19:42 |
| _44trent3 | Its not in Wine Wille, it works with linux distros as a .jar file that you open in the terminal. | 19:42 |

| dcope | i've tried using a ps3 bluetooth controller but it is a huge PITA to use every time i want to play a game | 19:42 |
| holstein | _44trent3: that woud be up to java support for linux.. and its not going to be as high a priority for them as windows support, likely | 19:43 |

| _44trent3 | I don't understand my issue in any universe. | 19:45 |
| olsonea | any thoughts on my delete key issue? | 19:45 |
| holstein | _44trent3: i have no idea where you are getting that information.. the fact is, linux support is not the focus of *any* commercial entity *yet* over windows | 19:45 |
| _44trent3 | I googled around and there barely is any results about it. | 19:45 |
| Ari-Yang | _44trent3, you the user that had problems installing flgrx, right? | 19:45 |

Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. | 19:46 |
| _44trent3 | I did have those issues Ari. I am the user that had issues with it. | 19:46 |

| olsonea | holstein: yeah, i've tried remapping to the us layout, without success | 19:46 |
| Ari-Yang | _44trent3, go to software sources and find out what driver you're currently using..... and what card is your machine? | 19:46 |

| wilee-nilee | l1wulf85, should it shows up as mounted on my gnome-shell desktop | 20:10 |
| Guest61326 | whats hosed:P? pizza? | 20:10 |
| PepperoniPizza | Guest61326, you 'might' get lucky and it is just a file system error, is the disk ext 4? I'm thinking it is a hardware problem though | 20:10 |
| l1wulf85 | wilee-nilee, Okay thanks I will give that a shot | 20:11 |
| Guest61326 | well i did partition my hard drive in 5 pices :P | 20:11 |
| holstein | Guest61326: that doesnt matter. *all* drives fail, and yours may be failing right now | 20:11 |
| bekks | ATA resets arent filesystem errors. | 20:11 |
| Guest61326 | the one i wanna boot from its an exe4 | 20:11 |
| wilee-nilee | l1wulf85, In 13.04 both my nexus 7 and htc dna automount | 20:11 |
| bekks | You are encountering a hardware error. Could be cabling, controller or disk. | 20:12 |
| bekks | Could even be memory controller or RAM, but then you would get DMA errors as well. | 20:12 |
| l1wulf85 | wilee-nilee, I have been thinking of upgrading to 13.04 I might just do that if this does not work. Thanks agian | 20:12 |
| Guest61326 | wow that sucks:P | 20:13 |
| PepperoniPizza | Guest61326, boot a live-cd and try to mount that disk and save any data from it | 20:13 |
| PepperoniPizza | Guest61326, new hard drives can fail too but age is usually a consideration on drive failure, how old is the hard drive ? | 20:13 |
| Guest61326 | i did a full back up i had just fixed yesterday :P | 20:13 |
| Guest61326 | its a refurbished computer, its 3 years old:P | 20:14 |
| PepperoniPizza | Guest61326, I would run a full smart test on that drive, and run an fsck on the filesystem | 20:14 |
| holstein | a test that would take an hour or so | 20:14 |
| PepperoniPizza | !fsck | 20:14 |
| 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 | 20:14 |
| PepperoniPizza | holstein, yes, one of the larger tests i'd say | 20:14 |
| === crondd is now known as crond | ||
| Guest61326 | can i do fsck on live cd with out shutting down:P? | 20:18 |
| PepperoniPizza | Guest61326, on a live cd yes, | 20:18 |
| holstein | Guest61326: you can do the long test from the disk utility that i and PepperoniPizza suggested from the live CD | 20:18 |
| PepperoniPizza | Guest61326, I would do the smart tests first, if the disk fails that it is gonna keep corrupting the filesystem etc | 20:19 |
| mfr | can someone help me with basic network interface on ubuntu server | 20:19 |
| PepperoniPizza | mfr, sure, dhcp ? | 20:19 |

| PepperoniPizza | mfr, hmm i'm a bit confused, it does seem like you could still edit /etc/network/interfaces manually and add an interface | 20:24 |
| mfr | did my intefarces not load up when i installed it or am i missing something. I should have 2 (wired and wireless) | 20:24 |
| PepperoniPizza | mfr, https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 20:24 |
| holstein | Guest61326: i would want to do a test that would take an hour.. then i would *know*.. no need to "think" | 20:24 |
| Guest61326 | not even the install live cd its working because it doesnt findns any partition :P | 20:24 |
| PepperoniPizza | holstein, it is clearly hosed, but yea he should still run the test | 20:24 |
| mfr | maybe | 20:24 |
| PepperoniPizza | to be *sure* | 20:24 |
| PepperoniPizza | mfr, run this, sudo lshw -class network make sure all your hardware is listed | 20:25 |
| Guest61326 | thanks for all your help guys, ill do the test :P | 20:25 |
| holstein | Guest61326: that is a potetially waste of time anyway... if its a cable, and you share the machine just right and get an install to go through, or whatever | 20:25 |
| holstein | s/share/shake | 20:25 |
| traxster | Hello everyone | 20:26 |
| PepperoniPizza | holstein, good point, I have had a cable go bad once | 20:26 |
| PepperoniPizza | but it is unlikely | 20:26 |
| holstein | i had 2 actually.. on desktop machines.. pata cables | 20:26 |
| PepperoniPizza | hmm never used pata | 20:26 |
| mfr | It looks like it does show there | 20:26 |
| PepperoniPizza | only idea/sata | 20:26 |
| PepperoniPizza | ide | 20:27 |
| holstein | AFAIK, pata is just the "legacy" name for ide | 20:27 |
| PepperoniPizza | mfr, ok, then you can do "sudo ifconfig -a" to show what devices have been assigned an interface name such as eth0 or wlan0 for wireless | 20:27 |
| traxster | having trouble with this command : Device /dev/sda3/ doesn't exist or access denied. | 20:28 |
| holstein | traxster: what command is rendering that response? | 20:29 |
| traxster | cryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3/ crypt | 20:29 |
| mfr | it shows 4 interfaces, 2 with IP are lo and virbr0, and the wired and wireless w/ no IP but are up and running | 20:29 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, /dev/sda3 not /dev/sda3/ | 20:30 |
| PepperoniPizza | you added an extra / | 20:30 |
| PepperoniPizza | mfr, ok, so then follow that guide I linked to get the other 2 configured | 20:30 |
| traxster | oh?, let me try that | 20:31 |
| PepperoniPizza | mfr, do you use DHCP? If so just scroll down to the 3 steps under Dynamic IP Address Assignment (DHCP Client) it is very simple to configure dhcp | 20:31 |
| mfr | linked on sidebar of subreddit? Yes, it on a vlan w/ dhcp avail | 20:32 |
| PepperoniPizza | mfr, who is talking about reddit lol ? | 20:32 |
| PepperoniPizza | mfr, https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 20:32 |
| PepperoniPizza | you just need to do the steps under DHCP section, and possibly add your router to /etc/resolv.conf | 20:32 |
| mfr | Sry, new to this and i am lost to where you linked it | 20:33 |
| mfr | ok there it is | 20:33 |
| traxster | that got me through that error, however, now I am getting the following: Cannot use device /dev/sda3 which is in use (already mapped or mounted). | 20:34 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, type mount in a terminal is /dev/sda3 already mounted ? | 20:35 |
| mfr | I will check it out. Thanks PepperoniPizza! wow i am thanking food. That is a first! LOL | 20:35 |

| xangua | hello, wasn't there a desktop tool to configure adobe flash settings in ubuntu¿ | 20:37 |
| xangua | installing flashplugin-installer also installs the gtk configuration tool :) | 20:39 |
| traxster | i don't see it on the list | 20:40 |
| traxster | so i would guess not | 20:40 |
| xangua | adobe-flashplugin * i mean, from partner repository | 20:40 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, mount | grep /dev/sda3 | 20:40 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, /dev/sda3 is commonly /home/user is it your home partition ? | 20:41 |
| traxster | yes, but I am booting from a live cd. I am trying to follow these instructions here : http://blog.markloiseau.com/2012/05/ubuntu-aes-xts-plain64/ | 20:43 |
| Serelijah | Is it to be expected that Xubuntu is a bit slow if it's being installed onto an old netbook, through a USB CD drive? | 20:44 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, sudo umount /dev/sda3 | 20:44 |
| occ | i have just bought a aspire s7, which apparently has a RAID setup for it's SSD drive(s), i need to remove RAID completley to replace windows with ubuntu, i know i need to run the commands(from live cd): sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sda , sudo dmraid -E -r /dev/sdb ..... i will also go into the BIOS and disable the RAID where i can..... but, shall i run those commands first? or disable the RAID options in the BIOS first? | 20:44 |
| PepperoniPizza | Serelijah, if the hardware is slow most things will be slow, and usb keys have low bandwidth | 20:45 |
| traxster | now it says it is not mounted? | 20:45 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, strange | 20:45 |
| traxster | so is it that it's mapped? | 20:45 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, idk what 'mapped' means, I know mounted means it is 'mounted' to a certain point in the file system so it can be accessed | 20:45 |
| audist | lshw -C video is reporting my nvidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti as only having 33MHz clock speed. any idea why it's severely underclocked like this? | 20:46 |
| traxster | at least you got me one step further. He found an error in a command listed in the instructions | 20:46 |
| traxster | ok, I would like to reboot, and try that command over, Are you going to be here for a few? | 20:46 |
| traxster | *you | 20:46 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, sorry I need to hop in the shower and go to the grocery store | 20:47 |
| PepperoniPizza | but if it is not mounted i don't see why you should have an issue | 20:48 |
| traxster | ok, thanks again for your help really appreciate it.... | 20:48 |
| PepperoniPizza | traxster, you ran this command already? ryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3/ crypt | 20:49 |

| Nach0z | or that's ctrl+alt+f1, nvm | 20:57 |
| ubottu | The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 20:57 |
| eroeurbano | mal10c the Kindle works just fine except that ubuntu doesn't mount it (at least automatically, I don't know how to attempt manually) some guy suggested me to type sudo fdisk -l to get info..here is the output http://pastebin.com/4hnNRitN | 20:57 |
| OerHeks | Serelijah, mini-iso is what you want, and dualboot is easy setup with grub bootloader | 20:58 |
| cr3 | Nach0z: I have a session on a server using my laptop. I need to send alt-f1 to the server but my laptop keeps catching the keycode | 20:58 |

| mal10c | eroeurbano: ah, it looks like it may be at /dev/sdc1. and as a fat32 volume. In that case, try this: "sudo mkdir /mnt/kindle && sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/kindle ; cd /mnt/kindle ; ls" | 20:59 |
| eroeurbano | mal10c: yes it is /dev/sdc1 .. anyway here is the output of dmesg http://pastebin.com/DSS4fNLz | 21:00 |

| occ | i have 2 SSD's in my ultrabook, the drives seem to be mapped to /dev/sda, and /dev/sdb, in my BIOS, the boot menu only shows HDD0 -which i assume is either sda or sdb, in ubuntu install, if i choose erase disk and install ubuntu, which drive will it choose? will it automatically choose the right one(the one the bios boot menu seems to show)? | 21:58 |
| quuxman | hey all. I'm using Ubuntu 12.10. Alsa audio works, but pulseaudio does not, so none of my apps can use sound unless I uninstall pulseaudio, and then only a few apps work with it | 21:59 |
| occ | or should i go into *something else, and choose sda or sdb specifically... but then i dont know which one.. | 21:59 |
| occ | ill just go autopilot and choose erase disk then... | 22:00 |
| occ | ill let the computer choose since i dont know better | 22:00 |
| quuxman | if pulseaudio is running, I see "Built-in Audio Digital Stereo (HDMI)" (which I'm not using), and "Loopback Analog Stereo" (which I assume is a dummy device) in the output tab of sound settings | 22:00 |
| gordonjcp | occ: is there anything on the disk you care about? | 22:00 |
| otak | occ: blkid might give you more idea | 22:01 |
| occ | gordon windows is on the disk. so no nothing i care about :) | 22:01 |
| occ | iv selected autopilot(erase disk)... hopefully will work | 22:01 |
| moses | anyone know what the ifort group is in ubuntu? | 22:01 |
| quuxman | so I'm pretty sure pulseaudio doesn't see the built-in speakers and stereo plug | 22:02 |
| quuxman | another interesting point is `aplay foo.wav` does not work, but `aplay -D plughw:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 foo.wav` does | 22:02 |
| occ | oh it does give me an option in the next screen anyway.... i choose /dev/sda, since it is the first option | 22:03 |
| quuxman | this has been plaguing me for 6 months. I don't know where my problem is... seems to be somewhere between alsa and pulse | 22:03 |

It keeps bumping me into a "do you want to use low-end graphics" menu because it reported a problem with bad configuration or something of the sort. I've found several guides on installing nvidia drivers on ubuntu, and they all mention nvidia-xconfig, which I don't have at all, anywhere in my system. | 22:27 |

| johnfriel | hey, does anybody know what might cause 'curl localhost' to fail but not 'ping localhost' ? | 22:32 |
| johnfriel | totally mystifying me | 22:32 |
| jrib | johnfriel: you should say how it fails | 22:32 |
| johnfriel | particularly after upgrading from 11.04 to to 12.04 | 22:32 |
| johnfriel | sorry | 22:32 |
| johnfriel | curl localhost | 22:33 |
| johnfriel | curl: (7) couldn't connect to host | 22:33 |
| johnfriel | curl 127.0.0.1 fails the same way | 22:33 |
| johnfriel | but I can curl external sites perfectly fine | 22:33 |
| jrib | johnfriel: do you have a web server running on localhost? | 22:33 |
| johnfriel | I do | 22:34 |
| johnfriel | er | 22:34 |
| johnfriel | I *think* I have nginx | 22:34 |
| johnfriel | 1 sec | 22:34 |
| holstein | johnfriel: why are you trying to use curl to localhost? | 22:35 |
| johnfriel | crap that's embarrassing | 22:35 |
| johnfriel | it's a server that's hosting a web app | 22:35 |
| quuxman | There is nothing on the sound troubleshooting page about alsa recognizing your hardware, and pulseaudio not | 22:35 |
| johnfriel | and I just upgraded ubuntu | 22:39 |
| johnfriel | but now my site is down | 22:39 |
| holstein | johnfriel: what are you trying to do? can you ssh into it? | 22:39 |
| johnfriel | the web app is running — nginx might not be | 22:39 |
| johnfriel | yep, I can ssh in just fine | 22:39 |
| holstein | i would do the basics to try and sort out why the webserver isnt running/working.. you should be able to use scp over ssh | 22:39 |
| johnfriel | yeah, I think it might actually just be nginx :X | 22:39 |
| quuxman | `aplay -L` shows everything it should, but "list-sinks" in `pacmd` only shows a loopback device and the HDMI device, not the regular built-in device | 22:39 |
| holstein | quuxman: i would try your best *not* to use or need to use the HDMI output.. otherwise, try pavucontrol to route... driver suppport is key | 22:40 |
| quuxman | holstein: I don't and can't use the HDMI output | 22:40 |
| holstein | quuxman: you dont what? | 22:41 |
| Serelijah | How do I "install" a library? | 22:41 |

| holstein | quuxman: play a known good audio file in chrome, and test.. using pavucontrol to route | 22:41 |
| jrib | Serelijah: usually though, you just use your favorite package manager to install it from the repositories | 22:41 |

| === renato is now known as renato_away | ||
| quuxman | holstein: chrome can't play any audio | 22:42 |
| holstein | quuxman: why? | 22:42 |
| quuxman | holstein: because it uses pulseaudio, which can't play anything, because it doesn't recognize the device | 22:42 |
| === klaas_ is now known as klaas | ||
| jrib | sykopomp: you sure you don't want nvidia-settings? | 22:42 |
| quuxman | the only way I can play audio so far as I've found is `aplay -D plughw:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 foo.wav` | 22:42 |
| holstein | quuxman: so, you are good then? you dont need any help from a volunteer to troubleshoot the issue? | 22:42 |
| sykopomp | jrib: nvidia-settings doesn't work when you can't start an xserver and you're not currently using the nvidia driver. | 22:42 |
| sykopomp | jrib: every single guide I've run into demands that I run nvidia-xconfig | 22:43 |
| quuxman | holstein: no, I'm definitely not good. I've been wrestling with this problem for 6 months | 22:43 |
| sykopomp | but no such command exists | 22:43 |
| jrib | sykopomp: what guide? | 22:43 |
| holstein | quuxman: why? audio hardware is quite affordable these days | 22:43 |
| holstein | quuxman: replace it | 22:43 |
| sykopomp | https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia for example | 22:43 |
| quuxman | holstein: and have given up trying to solve it on my own. My laptop is not affordable or easily replaced, and I like it, and there's nothing wrong with it. Sound works fine in windows | 22:43 |
| johnfriel | @holstein, it was nginx — thx! | 22:43 |
| jrib | sykopomp: how did you install the driver? | 22:44 |
| holstein | johnfriel: cheers! | 22:44 |
| quuxman | holstein: I can't replace the audio device that's built-in to the main board | 22:44 |
| sykopomp | jrib: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee | 22:44 |
| sykopomp | like that | 22:44 |
| holstein | quuxman: USB | 22:44 |
| Serelijah | What's a good package manager? | 22:44 |
| jrib | Serelijah: apt-get | 22:44 |
| F41l | Still no luck with booting to the installer with EFI. Tried flash drive, tried USB cdrom. I think it's 32bit only, so I would need a 32bit EFI install disk. Any ideas? | 22:44 |
| quuxman | holstein: that is not ideal, but does work | 22:44 |
| holstein | quuxman: i *never* said "replace your laptop".. your laptop vendor never promised you linux suppport, correct? | 22:44 |
| quuxman | holstein: the thing is, the built-in audio device and speakers _does_ work, just not with pulse, which is quite frustrating | 22:45 |
| holstein | quuxman: i usually try live CD's with different alsa version and kernel versions, and make a note of both if something "automagically" works | 22:45 |
| jrib | sykopomp: did you read "https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Troubleshooting" ? | 22:45 |
| holstein | quuxman: remove pulse then.. try lubuntu live.. .lubuntu doesnt ship pulse | 22:47 |
| sykopomp | hmmmm | 22:47 |
| sykopomp | I thought mbps had optimus graphics. | 22:48 |
| quuxman | holstein: what does lubuntu use for audio then? | 22:48 |
| holstein | quuxman: the same.. alsa.. just without pulse | 22:48 |
| sykopomp | I guess I'll try setting it up all over again without bumblebee. | 22:51 |
| Serelijah | So, how do I install something like the SDL library? What do I do after extraction? | 22:52 |
| jrib | Serelijah: what do you mean by "after extraction"? How did you extract exactly? | 22:53 |
| sykopomp | jrib: I'm really not sure what's going on here. I tried just installing nvidia-current, but that doesn't work either. | 22:55 |
| Serelijah | tar -xzf SDL2-2.0.0.tar.gz | 22:55 |
| sykopomp | the nvidia module simply fails to load | 22:56 |
| jrib | Serelijah: you did not follow my instructions to use a apt-get. What do you actually want to accomplish? i.e. once you install SDL, what do you want to do next? | 22:56 |
| sykopomp | xorg log says to check the kernel log, but I can't see anything relevant. | 22:56 |
| jrib | sykopomp: what was the state before you tried to install nvidia? | 22:56 |
| sykopomp | My system was using nouveau, but nouveau couldn't resume after suspend (and there's the whole 3d accel thing), so I tried installing the nvidia drivers. | 22:57 |
| sykopomp | and now I can't even get a working x server :) | 22:57 |
| jrib | sykopomp: if you enabled a bunch of ppas to try to get bumblebee, they may be causing issues | 22:57 |
| sykopomp | I only enabled the one ppa. | 22:57 |
| sykopomp | nothing else | 22:57 |
| sykopomp | and only the one recommended in that wiki page I linked | 22:58 |
| jrib | sykopomp: s/bunch of// | 22:58 |
| sykopomp | I also just removed all the packages from that ppa that were installed. | 22:58 |
| jrib | sykopomp: but you've determined you don't need bumblebee? | 22:58 |
| sykopomp | I haven't, but that grep in the page you linked came up with no lines | 22:58 |
| jrib | sykopomp: what ubuntu version by the way? | 22:58 |
| sykopomp | so I thought maybe this laptop doesn't support optimus (which would be surprising) | 22:58 |
| sykopomp | this is ubuntu 13.04. Kernel is 3.8.0-26 | 22:59 |
| === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry | ||
| sykopomp | and somewhere in one of those links, it actually said that the standard proprietary drivers wouldn't work at all on optimus cards (which is strange, isn't it?) | 23:00 |
| sykopomp | there's way too much unclear documentation out there for this stuff :\ | 23:00 |
| === MobGod is now known as Guest72328 | ||
| jrib | sykopomp: I don't know much about bumblebee and optimus, but those pages may not be up to date for 13.04 | 23:00 |
| sykopomp | right | 23:00 |
| sykopomp | not only that, but I found a mention of recent kernel issues. | 23:01 |
| === Guest72328 is now known as MobGod | ||
| jrib | sykopomp: if it's a fresh install, I would just do a new install and try without bumblebee first | 23:01 |
| jrib | just using the default drivers jockey suggests | 23:01 |
| sykopomp | jockey? | 23:02 |
| sykopomp | the "additional drivers" thing for ubuntu wasn't showing the nvidia drivers for me at all. | 23:02 |
| quuxman | holstein: I'm pretty sure all I have to do is properly set the default device in alsa, than pulse will work | 23:02 |
| quuxman | holstein: or at least I could use alsa directly in various apps then | 23:02 |
| sykopomp | it's kind of bizarre how poorly this is working. :\ | 23:02 |
| jrib | sykopomp: there was a bumblebee-specific irc channel mentioned in one of the links (#bumblebee iirc). You might try there | 23:03 |
| nik00 | I recently installed bt5 on my laptop since I have recently started using it alot more that my other OS's. Before this I was dual booting with ubuntu. Since doing this I have been having one problem after the next. Most problems I was able to fix, or at least create a workaround. I just wanted to know if anyone has tried using ubuntu(or any other flavor of linux) and just installing all the app menu/apps for backtrack. Would you rec | 23:06 |
| nik00 | any opinions are welcome | 23:07 |
| wilee-nilee | nik00, Backtrack is not supported here. | 23:08 |
| PashaPasta | not to mention that backtrack is outdated | 23:09 |
| Squarepy | nik00, well I don't think backtrack is setup as a total desktop environment | 23:09 |
| Squarepy | why would you want to | 23:09 |
| PashaPasta | It isn't, but blackbuntu is and kali could be used as such | 23:09 |
| quuxman | so `aplay -L` shows "sysdefault:CARD=Loopback". That can't be right. That's probably my problem right there, but I can't figure out how to fix it | 23:10 |
| quuxman | If I put anything in the pcm.!default section of asound.conf other than "type hw", "card 0", "device 0", aplay shows an error | 23:10 |
| nik00 | It is def not a permanent thing. Im just working on a project that required a lot of the tools in BT. | 23:11 |
| PyR3X | One of the scripts on my desktop executes a program with "/bin/sh path/to/some/prog" and is not using the PATH that I setup in my .bashrc file. Any ideas why not? Or where I should set PATH so it will use it? | 23:12 |
| oneking | hola alguien sabe porque mplayer no funciona en xubuntu 12.04 | 23:13 |
| quuxman | I want card 1 to be the default, but if I put "card 1" in there, aplay errors "aplay: set_params:1087: Channels count non available" | 23:13 |
| nik00 | thanks tho. anyone else in here do pen testing professionally? I installed BT just on a whim basically, I just figured it would save me some time. Boy was I wrong | 23:14 |

| wilee-nilee | zryan, A eol upgrade uses the terminal not a gui, read this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 23:28 |
| zryan | Kitt3n no sulations in terminal command line? | 23:28 |
| w30 | williamtdr, try ctl alt F2 | 23:30 |
| Serelijah | Where do I have to place a package for apt-get to find it? | 23:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Serelijah, What? | 23:30 |
| williamtdr | w30: using a script | 23:30 |
| === BJfreeman is now known as Guest40713 | ||
| sykopomp | Sora1995|Cloud: if you're installing a package manually, use dpkg -i | 23:31 |
| w30 | williamtdr, what about using a & at the end of the command in the script? | 23:31 |
| williamtdr | w30: will that execute all the commands simoultaniously? | 23:32 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| w30 | williamtdr, that runs the command outside the terminal | 23:33 |
| williamtdr | w30: won't work because I'm using xterm | 23:33 |
| williamtdr | 's -e argument | 23:34 |
| sykopomp | Serelijah: instead | 23:34 |
| williamtdr | everything after then -e is taken literally | 23:34 |
| bashstampede | alguien habla español | 23:34 |
| oneking | yo | 23:34 |
| oneking | bashtampede | 23:34 |
| bashstampede | ok | 23:34 |
| bashstampede | men soy nuevo en ubuntu | 23:34 |
| wilee-nilee | !es | bashstampede | 23:35 |
| ubottu | bashstampede: 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. | 23:35 |
| oneking | que bien | 23:35 |
| bashstampede | y necesito los comandos basicos para q esto no me coma | 23:35 |
| wilee-nilee | bashstampede, english only please. | 23:35 |
| Serelijah | Does a package have to be in a specific directory to be installed? | 23:36 |
| nik00 | i have a external HDD that I need to format in ubuntu using disk utility. I am using a BlacX Duet with 2 HD's right out old laptops. One win7 filesystem, the other is ubuntu. I plan on using them for external storage, as well as saving VM images that I can boot using Virtualbox. I just wanted to verify that NTFS is the best route since I will be using several OS's that I need to be able to plug n play these HD's with. | 23:36 |
| w30 | williamtdr, if I run firefox & in script firefox will launch and the terminal goes back to the prompt | 23:36 |
| sykopomp | Serelijah: I think you're completely misunderstanding how package management works in ubuntu. | 23:36 |
| jrib | Serelijah: you don't download packages, you just tell your package manager what you want and it does all the work. Did you ever answer my question about what you are actually trying to accomplish? | 23:36 |
| Serelijah | sykopomp: Of course I am. | 23:37 |
| sykopomp | Serelijah: what jrib said. Read it. | 23:37 |
| Serelijah | jrib: Just trying to figure out how the OS works right now. | 23:37 |
| _44trent3 | Can I umount my ext4 partition to resize my disc drive to make parition to put windows on? | 23:37 |
| jrib | Serelijah: read the link about installing software ubottu sent (and also going through http://help.ubuntu.com would be helpful) | 23:37 |
| sykopomp | Serelijah: maybe there's better ways to do that, such as reading the vast amounts of documentation available to you, or by simply trying ubuntu on a livecd | 23:37 |
| w30 | williamtdr, if I kill the terminal it kills firefox but if I exit at the prompt firefox stays alive | 23:38 |
| psusi | _44trent3, yea... boot off another disk | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | nik00, ntfs for windows, vm's in general can be ext or ntfs. | 23:38 |
| _44trent3 | What do you meam? Like using the livecd version of Ubuntu? | 23:38 |
| bashstampede | thank you | 23:38 |
| williamtdr | w30: I | 23:38 |
| psusi | _44trent3, that's one way yea | 23:38 |
| wilee-nilee | nik00, At least the vm's vdi's | 23:38 |
| williamtdr | m trying it | 23:38 |
| nik00 | wilee, thanks man. | 23:39 |
| _44trent3 | How would I get gparted on a livecd though? | 23:39 |
| wilee-nilee | no prob | 23:39 |
| psusi | _44trent3, same way you do otherwise... if it weren't already installed on the livecd, which it is | 23:40 |
| _44trent3 | Okay then, can I boot into Ubuntu after I resize | 23:40 |
| psusi | yes | 23:41 |
| Serelijah | jrib: I did read that link... | 23:41 |
| _44trent3 | I generally only need this info to get Windows back, but when I boot into Windows if I delete the ubuntu partition, will that count as resize and not boot next resrat on Windows? | 23:42 |
| _44trent3 | My dvd drive is shot and I have a 2gb usb. | 23:42 |
| _44trent3 | I was thinking to install Windows by mounting the official .iso for Windows 7, and then install Windows through wine and install it on the partition that I made. | 23:44 |
| _44trent3 | Is that gonna work? | 23:44 |
| bashstampede | i want work | 23:44 |
| Meeken | The Tor client and browser found here, www.torproject.org, is there any reason to doubt its trustworthyiness? | 23:44 |
| _44trent3 | Or I could blank the Ubuntu disc I made the other day. | 23:46 |
| Meeken | 44trent3 I do not believe you can install windows through wine, you could mount it virtually though. | 23:46 |
| _44trent3 | Like mount the iso in virtualbox and restart. | 23:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Meeken, Hmm, lets see here a app that runs your stuff through servers that others control, with all it takes is a exit and enter in the same country to expose you, what do you think. | 23:47 |
| Meeken | You would be playing windows in a VM, rather then directly, I think, I don't know much about it | 23:47 |
| _44trent3 | Ooooh. How would I install Windows without a DVD Drive or USB | 23:48 |
| Meeken | 44trent3 Why can't you do either? | 23:48 |
| Meeken | oh, your computer lacks both? How did you get your current OS on then? | 23:50 |
| Meeken | So is that tor client thing a trusted program? I don't see it in ubuntu software center, but I remember hearing some programs have packages outside of that, which have been vetted | 23:52 |
| === bashstampede is now known as master007 | ||
| wilee-nilee | Meeken, Tor is in my repos and yours if you have them not ticked off. | 23:55 |
| === FiremnEd is now known as Edb | ||
| Jason_Hudson | Meeken, that browser should just be a rebranded Firefox with Tor config included and maybe some privacy-unfriendly settings disabled...If you want trusted software on Ubuntu just use Firefox and Tor from repos. | 23:55 |
| _44trent3 | Am I using the open source catalyst driver? | 23:56 |
| === Edb is now known as Guest3067 | ||
| Meeken | wilee-nilee: repos? "ticked off"? | 23:56 |
| Jason_Hudson | Meeken, and by "trusted" I mean "vetted" by someone withint the Ubuntu community, I'm not claiming that Tor Browser is malicious. | 23:56 |
| Jason_Hudson | *within | 23:56 |
| sykopomp | I guess ubuntu isn't really ready to run on recent macbooks yet. I'll wait another 6 months and try again. :\ | 23:56 |
| Serelijah | Oh, so do I need to specify more repositories for APT? | 23:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Meeken, in the sources are the option of turning the repos on or off the term is ticked=# for off. | 23:57 |
| Meeken | Jason_Hudson: Well I would want different settings for tors and privacy verses normal viewing, so its fine if its a repacked firefox. But has it been vetted? | 23:58 |
| Meeken | wilee-nilee: The browser package is not in software center | 23:59 |
| kchengue | hello guys | 23:59 |
| Meeken | wilee-nilee: Only thing there is "vidalia" | 23:59 |
| Jason_Hudson | Meeken, vetted by who exactly? | 23:59 |
