[00:44] oh i see [00:45] 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. [00:46] mine is 4 gb [00:46] I mean 8GB [00:46] it is a big one [00:46] *wave* [00:46] Is anyone out here running KDE on Ubuntu? [00:46] Guest57207, Ah, you fine then with a regular usb loader, that caper does fill up and can't be cleaned so you can fill up the usb after awhile, and you are limited as to what you can update.

When I install ubuntu (any version) the system create some users. I want know what do every user for erase or not (for security). Someone know where I could check this information? [00:51] I do have an issue with some xls files not allowing me to edit. I suspect the problem is because the Original file was not set-up correctly. Any ideas? [00:51] sam___, You have a broken package I would guess. [00:51] enkot, only one user is created you make any more. [00:52] wilee-nilee: when I type: cat /etc/passwd a list of more tha one user, right? [00:53] enkot, If you have not added users, those are not users in its definition. [00:54] wilee-nilee: I want to know what do every user of this list for erase the unnecessary [00:54] 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. Becuase it started without my permission a few weeks ago. but... I have efi so it doesn't boot when I turn on with 13.04. Can I tell it to stop? [00:54] enkot, You have your cart before the horse in your methodology based I think on paranoia. [00:55] Within an application, in a "Choose file" window, I'd like to be able to drag files and folders around, etc. just like you can in regular nautilus. Possible? === N is now known as Guest1362 [00:55] sam___, Hmm, I can't really help there, I never upgrade distros personally. [00:56] wilee-nilee: but whats happend with the users in /etc/passwd? [00:56] enkot, And honestly not understanding linux in general, you have hardly any security issues to worry about, unless you put yourself there. [00:57] I'm wondering how do I get out of sudo and go back to being a normal user without having to close a Terminal Window and using "Ctrl + Alt + T" to open a new one? Is there a command I can use in the Terminal? [00:58] wilee-nilee: I'm learning about thousands of thing to convert ubuntu more secure but just I have the question about this users [00:58] enkot, I have no users there just apps and processes. We do not know what you have done. [00:58] ctcb: how did you enter sudo? [00:58] ctcb, type exit [00:58] jrib, "sudo rm ~/Dev -r -v" === Troy_ is now known as Troy^ [00:58] enkot, I doubt you will make ubuntu more secure beyond what they provide in wiki's [00:59] ctcb: then you'll get a normal prompt as soon as that command terminates [00:59] jrib, My name now has a $ Sign next to it in the Terminal Window. [00:59] Would I be ok to drag my laptop to work on a Cisco router with a USB console cable? [00:59] I think that means I'm a sudo user. [00:59] ctcb: no, # means root [01:00] Or must I drag the Windoze laptop to console into the router? [01:00] ctcbctcb, you should be out of sudo after the command finishes. Type whoami to see if you are root or not [01:00] psingh_, whoami brings back "root" [01:01] try typing exit [01:01] ctcb, Do not ever post any rm on this channel, if you are posting what you have run make that clear!!! === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ [01:01] 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] ctcb: you must have done something else then. Probably "sudo -i" or something similar possibly involving "su"...? [01:02] jrib, When I originally made the Dev Folder, I had to do sudo su to allow me to create it. [01:02] wilee-nilee, Uh... what? [01:03] 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] ctcb: and "exit" as psingh_ suggested will let you leave the root prompt. Alternatively, you can press ctrl-d [01:04] I installed ubuntu server 12.10 64bits, I have 2 drive with / in RAID1 md0 and /home in RAID1 md1.

[01:20] windows 8.1...lol [01:20] JcAdduono: when you say, "host OS", are you implying that you are virtualizing ubuntu through vbox or similar? [01:21] jrib: yes, i have a virutalized copy of my website's server running on this computer through vmware so that i can work on a development copy of my site efficiently [01:22] you can mount sshfs using an app called WebDrive, works pretty well [01:22] (proprietary) [01:23] JcAdduono: at least with vbox, there is a built-in way to share directories. Is that not possible with vmware? [01:23] JcAdduono: http://www.southrivertechnologies.com/products/webdrive/ (used it in the past, works ok) [01:24] 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 [01:27] there's also samba... [01:28] ejv: samba 3.6.16 doesnt support connections from win8.1 surprisingly...i wonder if that is a bug on microsofts part lol [01:29] that was my original plan haha === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [01:31] ooo got pure-ftpd to allow root with / as login dir, yay. thanks anyways guys [01:32] well then webdrive is fine for your purposes [01:32] or that, w/e works [01:32] ya i'm not willing to go the proprietary route lol [01:33] it's like 10 bucks, dirt cheap to make your life easier === Spr1ng_ is now known as Spr1ng [01:43] I had a boyfriend named Ubuntu once.

I want to upgrade to 13.04. I have google'd and have found some conflicting information. Would someone please link me to the ``official'' information? [03:05] looking for help [03:07] wilee-nilee, I think I found a solution but do not know how to implement. How do I format my usb drive to ntfs then have the usb autoboot stuff [03:08] I think my acer aspireone ZG5 for some reason has an issue with fat32 usb drive with ubuntu... Someone in the forum said they have the same machine I have, said he formatted to NTFS then booted but do not know how to do that with the bootloader... just format ntfs with windows then just skip format step in yumi? [03:08] am i supposed to be prompted to boot beteen unity and gnome classic after i install gnome panel? [03:09] MrCollins, Can you give me the url to that? [03:10] I just want to make sure I'm actually helping you. ;) [03:11] wilee-nilee, http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610031 [03:12] about halfway down is his post. [03:15] 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] ok.... [03:16] MrCollins, The dd options are valid as well. [03:16] 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] MrCollins, Doh I forgot you were in windows, my bad. ;) [03:17] do you think that would work or would it still have some windows on it [03:17] MrCollins, Not sure I understand the question. [03:17] wilee-nilee, that did it! NTFS fixed it. [03:18] cool [03:18] one never knows, lol [03:18] now I am at grub. what now LOL [03:18] sorry..... [03:18] MrCollins, Hmm, grub on a live cd/usb? [03:20] MrCollins, Does it look basically like this? http://www.dedoimedo.com/images/computers_new_2/grub2-chainload.png [03:21] no it has a grub command line. wilee-nilee wait I think I know what I did.... [03:21] time out.... [03:21] cool [03:22] Can someone help me to get the volume keys on my keyboard working again [03:22] Im not sure when they stopped working, but I think it was in the 13.04 upgrade [03:28] wilee-nilee, I have a prompt GRUB4DOS [03:28] find /menu.lst etc [03:28] commandline reboot and halt. [03:28] where can I download ubuntu for tablet? [03:29] MrCollins, What release is this? [03:30] GRUB4DOS 0.4.5c [03:30] parallels, THe only tablet orientated download is the ubuntu-touch in development #ubuntu-touch, however ask there on regualr installs as there is a 13.10 as well. [03:31] MrCollins, The ubuntu release, menu.list is grub legacy, we are sort of in left field for me anyway with grub4dos, I suspect the ntfs is part of that. [03:31] ubuntu release is 13.04 [03:32] ubuntu release is 13.10 *correction* [03:32] MrCollins, Not sure really, did you check the files name changes in those various links? [03:33] Greetings, Is it possible to install, config, and update an Ubuntu installation inside of VirtualBox and then deploy that to a physical hard drive and put it in a computer? [03:33] no? I will. Shouldnt there be a command I issue to grub to make it load or mount my iso [03:33] MrCollins, Ah, get 13.04, 13.10 is a development, the channel for 13.10 is #ubuntu+1 I can't say 13.04 will not act the same but it is supported on this channel. [03:34] wilee-nilee, sorry I meant to say 13.04 [03:34] cool [03:34] sorry its late my bad [03:34] no biggie [03:34] parallels: The default Unity interface is designed to work well with tablets. Do you have any problem with normal Ubuntu? [03:34] Intrinsically I want to see you succeed. MrCollins [03:35] thank you wilee-nilee [03:35] I am limited to internet access at a public place and can't haul in my desktop computer to install Ubuntu and the software I want for offline usage at home. [03:36] MrDyne, Can you boot a cd or usb there? [03:37] MrDyne, Soory is it you want to have sources to transfer to home from the public access? [03:38] No was wondering if there is a way to bridge VirtualBox to a real computer. Can I take my laptop to the public location and download and install Ubuntu in VirtualBox and then some how copy that virtual hard drive image to a real hard drive. [03:39] MrDyne, Supposedly you can, however I was not able to myself when I tried for fun. [03:40] Mite I ask how you attempted to copied the virtual hard drive image to a real hard drive? [03:40] Or did you not get that far? [03:41] MrDyne, From virtualbox forums I believe it was a couple of years ago. [03:41] MrDyne: like this? http://superuser.com/questions/114445/is-it-possible-to-convert-virtual-machines-to-physical-environments [03:43] Yes...

[03:48] or at least not a very friendly way to install grub [03:53] 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] it has 1gb ram [03:53] im just going to use it for an mp3 player connected to my surround sound [03:54] MrCollins, Hmm, well I'm stumped the ubuntu forums might be helpful if you choose to keep trying as well. [03:54] i thought this would be freaking simple. [03:54] usually is [03:54] im not giving up. I know it will work. [03:55] just need a grub4dos guru ;) [03:55] that is the spirit. ;) [03:55] yes [03:56] I think the ntfs and grub4dos is not the answer though, that poster had one post on the forums, who knows how true that is, I have never seen that for a iso loaded linux [03:56] the ntfs gets me past the syslinux issue... [03:56] does not mean it isn't but I have never seen that is all. [03:57] 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. [03:58] wilee-nilee, I understand. I was self validating... giving me the courage to press on [03:58] ;) [03:58] lol, use what you need. ;) [04:00] * wilee-nilee pats his self on the back when others criticize.

Thanks though. [04:50] thetenthdr: how about the links it references? did you find those relevant? [04:50] what could cause some keys to not show any keycode in xev etc, while xmodmap says they are keycode 122/123 ???? [04:51] Not really. Ive read through it already, and google searched until my eyes bled, followed quite a few guides, and finally just did a fresh install of ubuntu to see if that helped. [04:51] thetenthdr: did you also check 'additional drivers' to see if some drivers need to be installed? [04:52] 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] thetenthdr: have you tried other ubuntu versions live? [04:52] thetenthdr: have you tried the windows driver with ndisgtk? [04:52] somsip, its just a logitech wireless keyboard, all my other multimedia keys work fine [04:53] Holstein, that is exactly where I'm stuck. Ndisgtk shows the driver installed and the hardware present, but it is still not functioning. [04:53] but my XF86Audio{Raise,Lower]Volume/Mute Don't work [04:53] Ive done it through ndisgtk and ndiswrapper using Terminal with the same results, nothing [04:53] PepperoniPizza: you need to find some way of making sure those keys are generating a signal that is being read by Ubuntu [04:53] thetenthdr: try with a known good access point with no encryption [04:54] 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] Holstein, that's what Im saying. Zero response from the wifi card. Doesnt even attempt to list available access points [04:54] PepperoniPizza: does it work with other OSes? Another computer? [04:55] somsip, well my other pc is my gaming pc, so it runs windows [04:55] holstein, Also, iwconfig doesnt list wlan0, only usb0, eth0 and lo [04:56] 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] somsip, about 99.9% sure there is nothing wrong with the keyboard [04:56] somsip, i should mention this worked fine in the last version of ubuntu [04:56] 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] 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] hi [04:57] somsip, well i'm saying the keys worked in ubuntu 12.10 and don't work in 13.04 [04:57] that is what changed [04:57] holstein, I wish it was that simple, it's still under warranty lol [04:57] PepperoniPizza: when did they last work? [04:57] thetenthdr: unfortunately, it can be challenging when the vendors dont support the operation system you want to use [04:57] how can i change workspace switching time (animation that precedes ctrl + alt + arrow keys ) ? [04:58] thetenthdr: what would i do? i usually swap out hardware.. things are too affordable these days [04:58] somsip, before I upgraded to 13.04 [04:58] Fn [04:58] somsip, which was ahile ago i'm just trying to get shit to work now [04:58] hello. Is there a command to like clean up flash? Maybe to dump out old stuff? [04:58] 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] insmod, i don't have an fn key this isn't a laptop [04:58] deckard_: flash?

[04:58] somsip, yea i've been all through that just now [04:58] 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] ah [04:58] yes, some sites wont work. they said clean out flash settings etc [04:58] how can i change workspace switching time (animation that precedes ctrl + alt + arrow keys ) ? [04:59] 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] thetenthdr: whatever works.. really.. i save reciepts, and i just try and buy with linux support, if possible [04:59] Hey all. [04:59] So i restarted my laptop today [04:59] And I cannot login [04:59] It accepts the password, takes me to a back screen, then back out to unity login [04:59] black screen* [05:00] deckard_: in what, friend? you are talking about in some web browser? you are visiting a page that says "clean out flash"? [05:00] I have not restarted in a few days, have applied the last few updates.

[05:01] insmod, i'm on xfce4 and yes I have checked, nothing mentioning those keys exists [05:01] guest-xFFG8z, are you somehow surprised ? [05:01] guest-xFFG8z: there is a recovery consol [05:01] PepperoniPizza, I guess not. I suppose I thought Ubuntu was trying to be A-material or something. [05:01] what does A-material mean ? [05:02] i use balckbox [05:02] 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] Ehm, higher quality standards I suppose.

[05:17] 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] guest-M4ojeM: right [05:17] guest-M4ojeM: you did it wrong [05:17] oops :( [05:17] guest-M4ojeM: the system will make the new one.. you dont [05:17] Ah, not just new contents of it [05:17] I... yeah, okay embarrassing >.< [05:17] I will brb again then [05:18] guest-M4ojeM: you *only*, as i said, delete or move the config.. dont replace it with *anything* [05:18] kk [05:18] somsip, I had unplugged it to test on windows :-) [05:18] holstein: soidelete the printerand try installing printer again [05:18] somsip, it worked fine on windows remember, I tried removing the batteries and putting em back in and no dice on ubuntu still [05:18] exit [05:18] q [05:18] iMnew: what driver are you using? the one i linked? [05:19] iMnew: start by telling me what driver you are using [05:19] holstein: UFR II Printer Driver for Linux Version 2.70 [05:20] somsip, it is all good some things just don't work on certain releases I guess [05:20] iMnew: did you get it from the link i gave? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [05:20] holstein, this time I nuked it from orbit, rm -rf /home/user/.config [05:21] still no joy :( === Guest25609 is now known as jeff_liu_cn [05:21] holstein: i had already downloaded it from the website and installed the driver with sudodpkg -i [05:22] iMnew: did you try an included driver first? why not remove it, and try one from the default setup [05:22] holstein: ok [05:22] holstein: wait am trying [05:22] guest-zhQC4P: still could be something in the config.. you want to try another user? [05:23] guest-zhQC4P: make a new user, or try logging in as guest [05:23] holstein, only have guest and that one user [05:23] holstein, I'm guest now === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [05:23] Using the guest account to talk to ya [05:23] guest-zhQC4P: make a new user from tty.. or from the recovery terminal [05:23] I just can't login to the normal account. [05:24] holstein, I think I just found my problem [05:25] 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] 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] There was a random "f" in it. [05:25] thats a good place to start [05:25] So let me try logging in now. [05:26] just move or rename that, and test [05:26] I removed the obviously out of place "f" -- I edited that file recently... would make this whole issue my fault. [05:27] In one of the most humbling ways [05:27] holstein: i have selected 4010 ppd and it is also printing i printed two pages just now. seems to be ok.. Will see if it works well.. thanks a lot :) [05:27] iMnew: enjoy! [05:28] holstein: although theres nothing written about the scanned not working but it is not working. so what do you suggest [05:28] iMnew: how is it now working? have you tried it? [05:29] holstein: i open simplescan and there is an error message no scanners detected [05:29] iMnew: might not work then [05:29] holstein: i try to add but get the same error === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [05:30] iMnew: they usually just show up if they can be supported [05:30] iMnew: i would just enjoy the printer for now :) [05:30] holstein: so what can be done [05:30] Got an error trying to enable a swapfile. Checked the obvious (permissions look correct (root:root 0600) , FS is ext4. `sudo swapon -v /swap` exits with 255 after printing: "swapon: /swap: swapon failed: Invalid argument". Anyone have any ideas? [05:30] iMnew: again, ideally, you ask the manufacturer [05:31] holstein: so i call them up? [05:31] holstein, well, I do think it was my .profile after all [05:31] iMnew: i would start with an email.. then, when you dont hear from them, try the link i gave [05:32] nilsec: so, no need to adjust quality control for the larger ubuntu commmunity then? ;) [05:32] i just cant clone a repository [05:32] holstein, well at least... I tried restoring the old .config directory to reintroduce the problem, and it didn't cause issues [05:32] can any one help? [05:32] mayank: what vcs? [05:32] holstein, no, no need to adjust that -- just a need to adjust my attitude ;) I'll blame it on being very late at night on a worknight :) [05:32] nilsec: it happens.. no worries, and glad you are back to a login [05:32] and thus, you know, shove off culpability [05:32] Mayank: what's happening? [05:33] holstein, thanks a lot for your help :) [05:33] now I've got a lot to reconfigure [05:33] !cookie | holstein [05:33] holstein: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [05:33] mauryaarun: help what? you are trying to close what? [05:33] lotuspsychje: lol [05:33] :p [05:33] mauryaarun: what are you trying to clone [05:34] probably didn't help that I encountered this issue while trying to get this laptop out for Wireshark to test why network connectivity was suddenly abysmal for everyone (look for local network issues), holstein [05:34] was already fed up with the ISP, as I was sure it was something outside our network... yeah anyways, don't want to clog up chat with that.

[05:48] PAM unable to dlopen(pam_ldap.so): /lib/security/pam_ldap.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory [05:50] cfultz: tcpdump could be handy, but I suppose wireshark will do that job just fine.

[06:23] 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.

[09:28] jrib: ah! even numbers [09:29] vorsprung: then next lts will be 14.04 [09:30] 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 [09:31] 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 [09:32] freddofrog, I don't really know how to help you :-/ [09:32] Baatti, no probs... I'll just wait 'till someone else chimes in [09:32] :) [09:33] freddofrog, can you exam the hierarchy from a browser window? [09:33] yes [09:33] what is it that I'm looking for....a specific file no doubt? [09:33] freddofrog, I'm assuming you'd be looking for an .iso file [09:34] nope... [09:34] it's a VM install... rather like doing a pxe install [09:34] actually scratch that [09:34] yeah I've never done that [09:34] 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 [09:35] Baatti, nevermind... I just had idea of something else to try [09:35] thanks [09:35] so then I did help! [09:35] * Baatti encourages himself [09:35] :) [09:36] 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] huhu === xatr0z_ is now known as xatr0z [09:37] everytime i restart my pc, .git directory from a cloned repository gets removed [09:37] does anyone have idea what might be the problem [09:38] freddofrog: freddofrog so you have to prodie the path where the Packages.gz can be found for each repo/architecture [09:38] Hi My chrome renders like this. http://picpaste.com/pics/chrome-BCZwUTUQ.1373621799.jpg some gtk or gdk issue.

[09:44] T3X: excel can import csv. Maybe you can be more specific about what you are trying to accomplish? [09:44] ~/neverland/neverland [09:44] 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] mayankmadan: no idea, then [09:44] who owns the directory? [09:45] 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 [09:46] * Baatti loses himself to dance [09:46] jrib: i want to save every output column to each excel cell [09:47] T3X: what are you using as the separator for csv? Did you make sure to select that when you import in excel? [09:47] jrib: i am not yet been able to save it as csv. [09:48] T3X: why? [09:48] jrib: how do i do it jut ping localhost >> save.csv? [09:50] 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. [09:51] jrib: ok one sec [09:56] 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 [09:57] T3X: grab each field with awk or cut and print them separated by commas [09:57] T3X: then use ' ' as a seperator [09:59] this is my script while true ; do ./speedtest.py 2>&1 | while read pong; do echo "$(date): $pong"; done | awk -F"\t" '/Download speed/ {print $0} /Upload speed/ {print $0}'; sleep 1; done how do i accomplish that [09:59] T3X: just replace the spaces with , === totesmuh1oats is now known as totesmuhgoats [10:00] When Linux 3.11 is released, is it going to be called Linux 3.11 for Workgroups?

What is the end goal? [10:06] I suspect a comma seperated file for old excel [10:07] histo: thanks this one solved the problem "T3X: or just import the file into excel or whatever and use space as the seperator" [10:09] hi how do i change the keyboard shortcuts?

[10:12] I burned it with imgburn to a dvd from another pc [10:12] vl4kn0: If you are interested in getting your package into the repositories, follow this question: http://askubuntu.com/questions/91296/how-to-add-a-software-to-the-ubuntu-software-center [10:12] in order to boot from it?

[10:14] Something along the lines of "No bootable media, please insert a bootable cd or dvd and press any key" [10:15] i have booted from an old ubuntu 9 cd which works [10:15] Shane_: Sounds like either a dodgy download or a dodgy burn [10:15] Shane_: Use a USB flash drive to save wasting DVDs [10:15] alright, ive just downloaded and am burning 12.04 instead [10:15] thanks [10:15] blazemore: I mean this icon http://i.imgur.com/L65Hy8R.png [10:15] Any reason for 12.04 instead of 13.04 Shane_ ?

Restarted PC, after boot I get a blank screen now and now even the command line access isnt working [10:18] Shane_: Well I think it is, but 12.04 is long-term support.

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] Serelijah: if it's an old netbook, look at Lubuntu, which is based on Ubuntu but uses the lightweight LXDE desktop environment [10:43] 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] Right.

[10:47] MonkeyDust: and did apt-get install --reinstall libreoffice [10:47] sotrudnik, never mix ubuntu and debian repos [10:47] blazemore: building libreoffice from source was rcommended on mail list [10:47] sotrudnik: I think you should remove that debian repository, and run apt-get update [10:47] blazemore: already reverted [10:47] lol [10:50] maybe worth upgrading to 13.04? can it be done w/o reinstalling? [10:50] happy blazing [10:51] can you please pastebin sources.list for 13.04? [10:51] sotrudnik: Russia?

[11:04] i apologize, what do you mean with fresh? [11:04] hi, i need to install ubuntu 12.04 side by side (dual-boot) with windows 7 on an eepc. windows is already installed (OEM/recovery partition) in UEFI mode. i tried with the 64-bit installer (which, in contrary to the 32-bit one, supports UEFI detection) but the system reported it cannot handle 64-bit (which surprised me, this should be an Atom CPU, but then it only has 1 GB). now i want to try with the 32-bit ubuntu installer, but i'm not next to [11:04] the system now and am a bit worried about uefi detection. [11:04] or lack thereof. [11:04] AntonioL: Had it only just been installed? [11:05] no [11:05] it has been working without problem until today [11:05] Hello everybody [11:06] Do you know a soft able to open a more than 2Go pdf file's ?

[11:29] Hello, is it possible to check what happen during the boot and how long it takes? [11:29] hi, i have accidentally locked out myself from a virtual server (iptables -P INPUT DROP), i already managed to rescue it (host has a rescue-console and i was able to chroot to the system and purge iptables)... however, if i reinstall iptables, will the policies be re-applied (so that i get locked out again), or are they reset?

[12:36] Qantouri1c: If you are using one of the DRM drivers that supports KMS, you can force a video resolution on the console with video=XRESxYRES as an option to the kernel. [12:36] adamk: iirc nvidia(closed) didn't like drm drivers, removing :p [12:37] lotuspsychje: the terminal came to an end-user license agreement, am i done? [12:37] Qantouri1c: That sentence makes no sense to me. It is true that the nvidia driver requires disabling the opensource nouveau driver.

I can't change it as well, says device is busy.

[13:25] shurtagul, presumably you aren't in the your home directory on the command line [13:26] like i told you, either CD there and provide a full path to the file [13:26] or* [13:26] how do i CD there [13:26] cd ~ [13:26] oops let me rephrase that , sudo nautilus /usr/lib/mozilla/ plugins , paste it there [13:26] shurtagul,^ [13:26] type fl then press tab [13:27] bgardner: scsi22 : usb-storage 2-1.1:1.0 [13:27] is the last line when I plug it in [13:28] DeLorean731: Do 'dmesg | tail -n 50 | pastebinit' and give us that. [13:29] 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] also tried service ssh restart and service sshd restart [13:29] bluethundr: The ssh client does not run as a service. [13:30] how would you diagnose indicator-datetime problems? [13:30] bgardner: oh ok good to know. [13:30] why cant i do this ;; [13:30] Any idea how I can fix annoying timeouts on the ssh client side? [13:30] shurtagul, what do you think that does? [13:31] i dont understand bower [13:31] you ask why you can't do something. i'm asking what you think that something actually does [13:31] bgardner: sorry for the delay pastebin.com/nkNKSmp0 [13:32] All i want to do is get this dumb file in this dumb directory [13:32] bluethundr: Do you have timeouts when you try to connect to the IP address instead of the name? [13:33] bgardner: good question. I guess I can try that [13:33] 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? [13:35] bgardner: that is not right at all [13:35] bluethundr: Edit or create the file ~/.ssh/config and add this: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5868091/ [13:35] bgardner: it's one of the first things I did after waking the computer from sleep, but I have tons of things open... [13:36] bgardner: also, the device was plugged in while I did that command [13:36] bgardner: lsusb shows the drive interestingly [13:36] shurtagul, look in your /home/user/downloads folder , is the file there? [13:37] 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] the file is in /home/libflashplayer.so [13:37] also just noticed the name of the file, cant remember if it was always like that [13:38] free coupon for codeschool, first come first serve :) http://go.codeschool.com/yp6ONw [13:38] i think ive been typing the wrong name for the file [13:38] dumb me :c [13:38] bgardner: pastebin.com/EBwcpLu5 [13:38] shurtagul, use tab completion. just need to type in the first few characters then press tab [13:38] very handy feature of cli [13:39] shurtagul, then copy that file to /usr/lib/mozilla/plugin in your file manager [13:39] Bower^Work, thanks for the tip [13:39] shurtagul, np problem. that also works for user names and commands [13:39] no* [13:40] bgardner: appreciate your time btw (: [13:41] DeLorean731: Sure thing, bear with me still reading this output. [13:42] bgardner: zero rush for free help :D [13:42] Hi everybody! [13:42] DeLorean731: While I'm looking, what is the relevant line from lsusb that you referred to? [13:42] if i have a laptop with a raid 0 setup in it.... and i go into the bios and delete the raid pattern, then i can install a normal ubuntu 12.04 on either disk? or i have to do some other weird stuff ? [13:43] theres a libflashplayer.so in the plugins folder, so either ive been successful and didnt know it, or that file somehow got there in previous attempts to install flash [13:43] I'm looking for a way to modify the settings of a UEFI Bios from the command line [13:43] hii [13:43] help please.. [13:43] gonna reboot now [13:43] !ask | xxxxxxxx [13:43] xxxxxxxx: 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 [13:43] xxxxxxxx, just ask man :) [13:44] while partitioning my hard disk, the live usb got detached ands now my hard disk isn ot visible. [13:44] please help. [13:44] It seems it is possible on a simple BIOS installing a correct configuration of /dev/nvram [13:44] xxxxxxxx: Can you see it when you run the gparted partition manager from the LiveCD? [13:44] no [13:44] xxxxxxxx: Are you on the LiveCD now? [13:44] for the first time i did, then after that its not. [13:44] yep [13:44] xxxxxxxx: does it stull show up in the BIOS? [13:44] pastebin.com/rQfFNRyX - you can see before/after plugging in [13:44] 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] nope [13:45] xxxxxxxx: Then it's not plugged in [13:45] or RIP [13:45] But on my Gigabyte Motherboard, I can see there are changes but I can't change it... :( [13:45] it is, physically its not touched. while partitioning, some error occured [13:45] Apparently, people succeeded on "simple BIOSes" [13:45] xxxxxxxx: Can you please run the command "sudo fdisk -l" in a terminal and paste the output on http://paste.ubuntu.com, then paste the resulting URL back into this channel [13:46] not detecting the harddisk [13:46] blazemore: not detecting the hard disk [13:46] xxxxxxxx: What's the URL of the paste please? [13:46] only th epen drive is shown in th eop [13:46] i didn paste it. just telling oyu.

[13:48] DeLorean731: Is that a drive enclosure we're working with? [13:48] yep [13:48] blazemore: yes [13:48] xxxxxxxx: I don't think it is [13:48] it is [13:49] Usually fdisk -l gives head/sector/track/etc information before that part [13:49] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5868127/ [13:49] hi having a heavy problem [13:49] :D [13:49] okay [13:49] i wanna do ps -aux and i get: couldn't allocate memory [13:49] :D [13:49] blazemore: got yu dat, but thats the info of pen drive [13:49] xxxxxxxx: So it looks like that /dev/sda1 is your 4GiB USB flash drive which you're using as a LiveCD? [13:50] blazemore : yes [13:50] what can i do any ideas :D === BlackoutIsHere|O is now known as BlackoutIsHere [13:50] bgardner: sorry again for the delay, yes it's a drive enclosure [13:50] 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 [13:51] does partitiioning error leads to physical damaage of hdd? [13:51] 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] xxxxxxxx: Although I am concerned it's not displaying in the BIOS [13:51] -bash: fork: Cannot allocate memory [13:51] is the exact error :D [13:51] SP33D: what about "free -m" [13:51] it did, i was resizing one partitioning [13:52] same [13:52] :D [13:52] How much RAM do you have SP33D ?

[13:54] if i have a laptop with raid setup on it, is "sudo dmraid -Er /dev/sda" and " /dev/sdb " all i need to do to be able to replace windows with a normal ubuntu 12.04 install? or i have to do disable raid stuff in the bios too? [13:54] sotrudnik: Yes but check in /etc/apt/sources.list.d that's where PPAs live [13:54] deb http://archive.canonical.com/ubuntu precise partner #Added by software-center [13:54] bgardner: should I not be using an enclosure? I'm on a laptop so plugging it in hasn't really been an option [13:54] only one file there /etc/apt/sources.list.d/precise-partner.list [13:55] 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] with only one line I postd above [13:55] sotrudnik: try "sudo apt-get update" first [13:55] blazemore: did; the same [13:55] xxxxxxxx: No because your drive hasn't even been detected by the BIOS [13:56] thanks blaze. i will try that too [13:56] sotrudnik: You really broke a lot when you added those Debian packages earlier. Try "sudo apt-get install --reinstall libc6" [13:56] 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] blazemore: Reinstallation of libc6 is not possible, it cannot be downloaded. [13:56] bgardner: He's running off a USB drive, his problem is with his internal hdd [13:57] blazemore: it was once detected before i had tried to start my pc without liveusb.. [13:57] ok i am out of memory i think :D [13:57] now i cant even edit a file :D [13:57] blazemore: I'm aware, but the USB device appears to auto-disconnect within 2 seconds of plugging it in. [13:57] sotrudnik: sudo apt-get remove locales; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install [13:57] shurtagul, using chromium ? [13:58] My apologies bgardner I thought you were talking about xxxxxxxx [13:58] blazemore: 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded. [13:58] bgardner: when you mean idle as possible, kill all processes not vital to the system running? [13:58] sotrudnik: that happens when you run sudo apt-get remove locales? [13:58] Does anyone know a cheap Single board cp with wifi? [13:58] DeLorean731: Nothing so drastic - just try not to have too much going besides the IRC client and the terminal.

[14:05] blazemore: how to turn apt to believe my std c lib an locales and other low-level stuff is okay [14:05] sotrudnik: Try removing download cache with "sudo rm /var/cache/apt/archives/*.deb" [14:05] BluesKaj, all sites wont work [14:05] sotrudnik: then try "sudo apt-get update; sudo dpkg --configure -a; sudo apt-get -f install" again [14:06] blazemore: configure -- nothing; -f install -- 0/0/0/0 [14:06] DeLorean731: Any luck on the disconnect/reconnect/dmesg instructions from earlier? [14:06] shurtagul, ok , give me one anyway [14:06] Does anyone know of a way that I can have a samba share mounted for a user when they log in (without an entry in the fstab)? [14:07] BluesKaj, youtube, transformice, and 1channel are the only ones ive tried [14:08] bgardner: my dmesg doesn't like your -n 100 [14:08] "cat: 100: No such file or directory" - cat /var/log/dmesg -n 100 > ~/pastebin [14:09] DeLorean731: Oof, that's my fault: 'dmesg | tail -n 100 | pastebinit' [14:09] ah my bad >.< [14:09] if I were more familiar with linux commands I would have realized that [14:10] coreyo u can mount it with pynieghborhood [14:11] coreyo sorry you can mount it with pynieghborhood [14:11] bgardner: pastebin.com/U6JJUWgb [14:11] dakotawulfy: does that do a real mount, or a pseudo mount (like when you're browsing the network through nautilus) ? [14:12] How to make a script run as service? [14:12] well it does ask for sudo [14:12] to mount it [14:12] DeLorean731: And this output is taken shortly after unplugging and re-plugging that enclosure? [14:13] dakotawulfy: ahh, that kind of defeats the point if the user needs sudo permissions === Koma_ is now known as Koma [14:13] whats the difference between "mdadm --stop" and "dmraid -E -r " ? [14:13] is there a group that you can put the user in to give them permission to mount? [14:13] bgardner: yes [14:13] or a policy to set? [14:13] bgardner: should I try one more time? maybe a 10 second delay? [14:14] no it ask for sudo on their system then it has a setup for the password u want for the shared [14:14] DeLorean731: Please do, I'm going to work up something else for you in the meantime [14:15] bgardner: 10 second delay between unplugging/relplugging - pastebin.com/SwuBeVyH [14:17] hello folks [14:18] DeLorean731: Do this: 'lsusb -d 152d:2338 -v | pastebinit' [14:19] hmm i have a weird problem, when i was loading ubuntu 12.04, the kernel seen my usb 3.0 port and the hard drive i had plugged in, but as soon as ubuntu booted and tried to access it, i got an error message, and then the device disappeared [14:20] it works fine if i plug it into a usb 2.0 port [14:20] bgardner: pastebin.com/E5vZ5wmK FYI this yielded the warning: [14:21] "Couldn't open device, some information will be missing" === Guest98373 is now known as Debolaz [14:24] Hi i'd like to have ubuntu 12 restart everyday at 8am is that easily doable ? [14:25] is there anyway to boot isos off an external hard drive [14:25] Madwill: yes, but it's an odd thing to want. You can use crontab if you really want to do that [14:26] DeLorean731: Understood, we'll come back to that. Try this: 'sudo fdisk -l | pastebinit' [14:26] thanks its a special installation that runs tons of shit and somehow sometimes get stuck [14:26] Madwill: fix the "stuckiness" :) [14:27] Server 13.04 error "problem reading from your CDROM" during Load Installer components from CD. Same CD used to install to VMWare ESXi. This is to physical machine. Is this a known issue with certain hardware? [14:27] bgardner: that drive does NOT show up on fdisk -l, pastebin anyway? [14:27] DeLorean731: No, no need. One moment. [14:27] md5sum on CD matches the ISO [14:28] sda is all that shows up on that [14:29] Can you boot the ubuntu iso off a usb hard drive? Im on windows 8.1 and it sucks [14:29] yes jram0421, my preferred tool is Linux Live USB [14:29] DeLorean731 is that a usb drive u are having problems with and u do not see it in a program like gparted? [14:29] dakotawulfy: It's a USB enclosure. [14:30] Thanks [14:30] i am using linux mint mate 13. I have python-docutils 0.8 installed. i want to install 0.10 version but when i do sudo apt-get install python-docutils it says it is already up to date. [14:30] ok some time u have to have a cable with 2 usb plugs on one end to give it more power [14:30] or a power cable [14:31] 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] dakotawulfy: gparted does not see this drive [14:32] DeLorean731: Is it powered from a separate cable, or does it draw all power from the USB? [14:32] can anybody help me with LVM layout which i acidentally applied and now i can't see ntfs drives which has lots of important data [14:32] bgardner: I actually have a sata power plug from a desktop PSU powering it [14:33] bgardner: let me link you to the exact usb thing I'm using, it is not powered (hence the powering from PSU) [14:33] 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. [14:34] bgardner: pastebin.com/q576FC64 [14:35] bgardner: using something like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-to-IDE-SATA-2-5-3-5-Hard-Drive-Converter-Cable-/231008391111?pt=US_Drive_Cables_dapters&hash=item35c92c4fc7 [14:36] 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] something very in-depth for ubuntu server [14:36] 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' [14:37] can anybody help me with LVM layout which i acidentally applied and now i can't see ntfs drives which has lots of important data [14:38] bgardner: pastebin.com/rpujn7XB [14:39] DeLorean731: Okay, that command shows it. Try 'sudo fdisk -l /dev/sdb | pastebinit' [14:39] amrit_: did you verify your backups? [14:40] bgardner: blank :\ [14:40] i didn't backup it was by mistake i ticked in the installation and after that i can't see ntfs drives [14:40] i am using linux mint mate 13. I have python-docutils 0.8 installed. i want to install 0.10 version but when i do sudo apt-get install python-docutils it says it is already up to date.

[14:41] bgardner: I was going to attempt to recover some files, I don't expect to ever be able to boot into the drive [14:41] I have a bluetooth adapter in my laptop but ubuntu 13.04 doesn't detect it.

[14:43] Darael -- thanks, will check it out [14:43] aaronjlin: It's not *quite* as in depth as the Debian handbook, but it's that order of thing. And much of the stuff in the Debian Handbook will be applicable to Ubuntu as well. [14:43] bgardner: I have a powered hub right here, I'll try that now === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [14:43] DeLorean731: Other than that I'm afraid I'm about out of ideas.

Just a note. [14:44] 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] 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] Pess_, to make sure it isn't being recognised, in a terminal give: hcitool dev without sudo in front. do you get any output? [14:45] unknown_had2: Also, the JDK provides for getting access to the temp file path. Check the JDK docs. [14:45] bgardner: with a powered up, sdb is still blank [14:45] oh well, I"ll try to actually use sata connections to the mobo when I get home [14:45] kostkon_, outputs "Devices: " [14:45] Pess_, ok [14:45] DeLorean731: If you can, I would use another enclosure or similar device.

The end result was : Too many hops:pmtu 1492; Resume : pmtu 1492 [15:53] Surb: no reply only means that the host doesn't answer ICMP request, and max hop by default is 30 [15:53] Surb: at least you see that your MTU is 1492 === rbxs|Zzzz is now known as rbxs === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [15:55] 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] schnuffle, what are hops BTW ? [15:56] 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 [15:57] schnuffle, thanks !

[15:59] I said fuck it to flash, go html5 ftw [15:59] 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] Read the webpage, and it doesnt help.

[16:04] zsoltika: the admin user is not different to any other user but having sudo rights [16:05] 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] is compiz nice looking? === StathisA is now known as StathisA_afk [16:06] hello does any one know how xubuntu differs from lubuntu [16:06] shurtagul: the problem is with linux, flash and mostly nvidia graphics [16:07] marawan2: xubuntu=xfce DE, lubuntu= lxde DE [16:07] blazemore : under location , it shows /opt/google/chrome/PepperFlash/libpepflashplayer.so [16:07] !flavors | marawan2 [16:07] marawan2: !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu [16:07] blazemore: and /usr/lib/flashplugin-installer/libflashplayer.so [16:07] schnuffle, ok, ive already pretty much give up on flash [16:07] how can i set a program to run as a different user?

[16:08] ty [16:08] fatNERD: Disable the Chrome PepperFlash one, leave the flashplugin-installer one [16:08] fatNERD: Then restart Chrome [16:09] marawan2: both are based on ubuntu, share the same repos but have different default package installation that#s all === Guest18862 is now known as whoever [16:09] blazemore: alright doing it right now [16:09] marawan2: It differs in that Xubuntu ships XFCE by default, whereas Lubuntu ships LXDE [16:09] Daughain: ummm what was the error mesage? [16:09] marawan2: You can turn any ubuntu variant into any other [16:10] blazemore: so i am running lubuntu now can i turn it into a xubuntu? please explain [16:10] marawan2: "yes but what they differ in other than look and invirnoment?" nothing. [16:10] marawan2: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [16:10] blazemore: that is all! [16:11] marawan2: yes, "xubuntu-desktop" "ubuntu-desktop" and "kubuntu-desktop" all will work [16:11] Daughain: just share it [16:11] blazemore: nothing else! [16:11] nope, that's it bro [16:11] blazemore: and the defauly lubuntu desktop is deleted [16:11] phix, No error message. I reinstalled nautilus-share, rebooted, and thats it. Once again, I will repeat: There is NO share option in nautilus [16:11] marawan2: No, although you should reboot afterwards, and be aware there is quite a lot to download [16:12] marawan2: it won't remove any packages, no [16:12] 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] 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] blazemore: wouldn't be easier if i just download the iso, burn it and boot from that the new *buntu [16:12] marawan2: It's a lot more difficult to remove one than add another one [16:13] blazemore: thanks for your help. It did solve the problem. [16:13] marawan2: Yes, but it will be a new, different installation [16:13] see ya later [16:13] marawan2: None of your programs or files will be there [16:13] fatNERD: Did it work? [16:13] Daughain: hmmmmm [16:13] blazemore: u r right [16:13] marawan2: But it is better, yes [16:13] marawan2: My actual advice is, back up what files you want, and do a clean installation of Xubuntu [16:13] blazemore: is there a link for how to change the lubuntu desk to xubuntu desk [16:14] marawan2: step 1: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [16:14] lol [16:14] ? [16:14] 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] step 2: reboot [16:15] otherwise, you can just install xfce4, and it'll add a second desktop environment [16:15] marawan2: Or rather, http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntucat/tag/pure-lubuntu/ [16:16] wheatthin: ya tell me more about that [16:16] phix, The option isnt on either of my systems, and both have nautilus-share installed and up to date.

I added a file to my Dropbox folder and it won't show up ( even if I search for the exact filename ). [16:23] does any one know how to run an iso right from the desktop not having to burn into a cd? [16:24] marawan2: "run" an iso? [16:24] marawan2: What do you want to do with it? [16:24] blazemore: like run the xubuntu iso so i could install the os [16:24] marawan2: If it is an Ubuntu/Xubuntu/etc iso you need to burn it to a DVD or use a USB flash drive, then reboot your computer and boot from it [16:25] marawan2: You can use a USB flash drive if you don't want to use a DVD [16:25] Grub failed to install when I installed ubuntu 12.04 with LVM... how do I fix it? I'm chrooted in and grub-install is telling me http://pastebin.com/VPftd4QY [16:25] blazemore: so it is not possible to run it from the desktop ( on windows you could) [16:25] 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] marawan2: On Windows you could use something called Wubi [16:26] marawan2: It is very buggy and not recommended by anybody in this channel [16:26] blazemore: well is there something like wubi on lubuntu [16:26] marawan2: Is that how you originally installed it? [16:26] blazemore: no i used cd [16:26] marawan2: OK do the same again (or use a flash drive) [16:26] blazemore: but i want to easly run the iso [16:26] marawan2: What you are asking doesn't make sense [16:26] blazemore: is it totally not possible? [16:26] marawan2: You *need* to burn it to a bootable medium and boot from it [16:27] blazemore: on windows you don't, Man ! [16:27] marawan2: That is a part of the nature of it, it's not some decision [16:27] marawan2: That is an entirely different thing [16:27] blazemore: ok i got it [16:27] I have to go now, good luck with Xubuntu marawan2 [16:28] blazemore: thanks [16:38] Anyone here got any info on how to build a custom Ubuntu image for Google Compute? === Jikan is now known as Jikai [16:47] Anyone here got any info on how to build a custom Ubuntu image for Google Compute? === elixir__ is now known as elixir === johnm_ is now known as johnm === Josh____ is now known as coretec === ferret___ is now known as ferret_ [16:51] !netsplit === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity [16:51] netsplit is when two IRC servers of the same network (like freenode) disconnect from each other, so users on one server stop seeing users on the other.

I'll look for it [17:46] SonikkuAmerica: AHhh I see it now, but I want to "do something else" [17:47] FDE_Please: What is this "Something else" you wish to do? [17:47] And you the encrypt whole disk is only available in "Erase whole disk" [17:47] SonikkuAmerica: my own partition layout [17:47] 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] 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. [17:48] SonikkuAmerica: so then I will set up LVM [17:48] FDE_Please: But you have to smash your whole disk to do that. [17:48] columb: please paste output from uname -a [17:48] FDE_Please: (Just a warning) [17:48] columb: if your're on x32 use a PAE kernel or switch to x64 [17:48] sonikkuamerica, not the whole disk, just the partitions you want to use [17:48] I'm already on x64. [17:49] htop properly shows 8GB. [17:49] columb: so where are you seeing the 4gb limit? [17:49] 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! [17:50] 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] FDE_Please: Actually, you have to click "Continue" to select whatever disk it is. [17:50] oh ok. [17:50] can some provide a link to where I can find a list of supported MF printers for 12.04 and greater [17:51] kurtwp_: MF? [17:51] SonikkuAmerica: clicking continue only prompts me for the password. [17:51] multi function printers [17:51] It doesn't allow me to select the disk [17:51] So Ubuntu used debian repositories?

(but reboot does work) the machine says system halted, but nothing happens. what to do? advices? [17:53] lelebart, grub installed? [17:53] schnuffle: I thought Ubuntu was based on debian [17:53] columb, yep. [17:54] schnuffle: Does curl include automation for getting the entire site or would it have to be scripted? [17:54] lelebart, it's something related to it's config. [17:54] netlar: based on debian and using the repos is a difference [17:55] columb, i switched almost every apci=off noapci etc.. [17:55] lelebart, check your kernel parameters. It's should be something like quiet splash acpi=force apm=power_off [17:55] columb:hi [17:55] Ok thanks SonikkuAmerica I think Ig ot it now [17:55] I was just paranoid about the installer overwriting my stuff [17:56] <__davide___> Hi, i have an asus eee pc 1015cx. I can't hibernate my netboot and i have an error 'not authorized'. is there a solution? [17:56] schnuffle: Does that mean Ubuntu was initially based on Debian, but now does its own thing? [17:56] Hello, kr4zycoder. [17:56] columb: nosplash for me due to sis graphic, i'll try amp=poweroff :) [17:56] *apm [17:56] *_ [17:57] netlar: it means they use debian as upstream but change things and use their own repos [17:57] aah, downstream [17:58] schnuffle: so when debian gets changes they are incorporated into ubuntu [17:58] netlar: not always but generally yes [17:59] Rarrikins: found better for you http://www.httrack.com/ [17:59] columb, i'm goingo to reboot with "acpi=off noapic nolapic nomodeset apm=power_off", see you soon [17:59] *going [17:59] schnuffle: does Ubuntu do their own thing? or is it mostly dependent on Debian [17:59] man sorry [18:00] netlar: they do a lot of stuff on ther own, which is a hot topic, see mir/wayland, upstart/systemd ....

[18:01] A) Configuring the Wifi by clicking on the little wireless icon only partially configures /etc/NetworkManager/system-connection/MySSID [18:02] schnuffle: I tried to use Debian as my distro, and at least for me it was horrible, no polish for me [18:03] netlar: the stable debian is mature but for shiny desktop often a bit old. ubuntu is based testing or unstable [18:03] netlar: ubuntu might have the nicer ui, but debian is way more stable and using backports you can even have reasonable new packages [18:04] flxmmr: Ubuntu has much more usability [18:05] debian is like that slow family member kept out of site, lol [18:05] schnuffle: Are the LTS releases more stable? [18:05] netlar: why has it more usabilitty? [18:06] netlar: they get more stable, I would go LTS for a productive system [18:06] flxmmr: well I may be only one, but I actually love Unity [18:06] flxmmr: debian's stability is amorfable [18:07] tozen: ok that is not a word [18:08] netlar: i found 4 myselfe unity is more usable then gnome, but this is laki a holywar [18:08] *like [18:08] !ot [18:08] #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions.

[18:18] oops [18:18] question is: how can i install a program as a different user? [18:21] aubrmgedy: not with dpkg/apt, best choice might be compiling yourself, then sudo/su/sux [18:22] Hey, does anyone know if the update manager installs any proprietary software after the initial install? Or is it all updates to the freeware? [18:23] Anyone manage to get AMD Eyefinity working on Ubuntu?

[18:23] tony: The update manager by itself only updates installed software [18:23] Using an HDMI port./ [18:23] Thank you very much saiarcot. [18:23] tony: If you install proprietary software from the Ubuntu Software Center, it will update that as well [18:23] flxmmr, compiling myself, then what? [18:23] cant install easytether on ubuntu dpkg error processing ead === rbxs is now known as rbxs|Zzzz [18:26] aubrmgedy: I would guess you then run "sudo make install", as that will typically install it to the system itself [18:26] error processing easytether (--install) cannot access archive no such file or directory [18:26] johnny9fingers: Do you have a .deb file that you downloaded from somewhere? [18:27] saiarcot895, to the system itself? how is it any different from apt-get install? [18:27] folder is on desktop... also tried extracting to it's own location [18:27] aubrmgedy: well, with apt, it's managed; with make install, you manage it [18:28] aubrmgedy: Are you trying to install it to another user or run as another user? [18:28] i have the deb directly from developer [18:28] does anyone know why when I try to uninstall a package via apt-get and reinstall, it does not ask me to configure it (the second time around) ? [18:28] johnny9fingers: use "sudo dpkg -i " [18:28] BooeyOH: if you just want to reconfigure it you can do: sudo dpkg-reconfigure packagename [18:29] johnny9fingers: you don't have to extract the deb [18:29] with or without the brackets [18:29] johnny9fingers: without [18:29] johnny9fingers: that was just to show you what to replace [18:29] Pici: I do that, but it doesn't ask me the questions. I tried to install roundcube (webmail) and my ssh session crapped out halfway through. Then when I went in, deleted the lock files, uninstalled (with purge) and reinstalled, it did not pop up and ask me the database questions it did the first time [18:30] i have a hybrid laptop gpu where i should go to install the drivers? [18:30] saiarcot895, trying both. install a .deb with dpkg and run as a different user (because of firewall rules) [18:30] Any idea why the Ubuntu launcher keeps using a blue color even though it's set to change based on background color and none of my backgrounds contain blue? [18:30] For example, a black and yellow background -> blue colored launcher [18:30] nvidia geforce with cuda [18:30] I cannot set a custom color without losing transparency in the dash completely. [18:31] aubrmgedy: the dpkg will install to the system; to run as a different user, I believe you have to first do "sudo su " (without brackets) and then run the program from there [18:31] aubrmgedy: I think that will cause the program to use that person's home folder instead [18:32] saiarcot895, thanks. it worked. [18:33] saiarcot895, too earely. it didn't.. the other user doesn't have a password [18:33] "Account disabled" [18:34] aubrmgedy: technically, I think the user doesn't have bash permissions, or something [18:34] aubrmgedy: let me check how to allow the user bash permissions [18:34] saiarcot895, OK, I set a pw but it says the user is not in the sudoers file.. [18:34] my laptop has hybrid gpu (nvidia cuda and intel hd 4000),how can i install the nvidia driver?

[18:39] the only option for auto configuration is to replace osx [18:39] of course. [18:39] i can't find anything that quite fits [18:39] saiarcot895, what does the line "user ALL=NOPASSWD:ALL" mean?.. [18:39] aubrmgedy: Instead of editing the sudoers file, can you try "sudo su - user -c 'command'"? [18:41] aubrmgedy: the line doesn't ask for the password when running commands as root [18:41] aubrmgedy: from that user [18:41] aubrmgedy: not the best advice I gave [18:42] saiarcot895, i can't change back to my main user now... xxx is not in the sudoers file. [18:42] Miles_: sorry I can't come to anything else [18:42] aubrmgedy: type in exit [18:42] "exit" [18:42] "NewWorld boot partition" [18:42] i wonder what that does. [18:43] maybe if i unplug the osx disk and use the automatic instll.. [18:44] saiarcot895, sudo su -u user -c 'command' ? [18:44] but then i assume it won't set the boot loader up correctly.. [18:44] pesh [18:44] aubrmgedy: yes, from your user; replace 'user' with the target user and 'command' with the command you're trying to run [18:45] aubrmgedy: hmm, I missed something there [18:45] aubrmgedy: remove the -u part [18:45] aubrmgedy: su username -c 'command with options' no need for sudo [18:45] ok [18:46] llutz: running as another user doesn't require sudo? [18:46] saiarcot895: man su [18:46] i'm looking for a ubuntu server administration blog/webpage having tutorials,guides,examples etc...any suggestions? [18:47] StathisA, they have a channel #ubuntu-server [18:47] any girl wants fair chat?

Anyone seen this before? [18:51] will took a bit more work got it up and running thanks for your help [18:51] 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] aubrmgedy: and btw this will fail most likely. "sudo dpkg -i file.deb" [18:51] 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) [18:52] flxmmr, i have the source, but it's too much work... thank you everyone [18:52] !checkinstall | flxmmr you better don't use "make install" [18:52] 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!

[18:57] how do i do that ive used unetbooting didnt work [18:57] 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] how do i do the boot flag bit i can do the rest [18:58] alainus: what do you mean with trouble? [18:58] alainus, Have you messed with the bootrepair app yet? [18:58] darrell09thomas, Use gparted a right click has the set flags [18:59] 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. === TIBS01 is now known as TIBS01-2e0sgg [18:59] So I'm going to go for the manual way [19:00] alainus, Did you save the bootinfo summary it tells you to if so post it or run it only again and post it. [19:00] wilee-nilee, ok, thanks, 1 sec. [19:01] When my launcher is set to change color based on my background, it is always blue no matter what background I have. Anyone know why this might be? [19:01] wilee-nilee, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5868956 [19:02] Z shell is a stable tool to use also in production servers? And how about oh-my-zsh configuration framework? [19:04] 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. [19:05] alainus, Unplug the ipod and run the basic fix. [19:05] wilee-nilee, sdb is some apple ishuffle thing. [19:06] wilee-nilee, really? huh. What do you mean the basic fix? boot-repair ? [19:06] alainus, yeah, sdb is a usb right? [19:06] wilee-nilee, yep [19:06] wilee-nilee, sda is the concern [19:06] ok I unplugged it, and I'm running boot-repair again [19:07] 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. [19:09] 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. [19:11] alainus, Is this a 32 bit iso you are running? [19:11] on a 64 bit install === lelebart^afk is now known as lelebart [19:12] wilee-nilee, it is. I used it to install lubuntu on my 32bit notebook. Should I make a 64bit usb ? [19:12] does ubuntu provide a clipboard stack (not sure if that's the correct term..i just want access to values i have previous copied)? [19:12] (I thought grub didn't care about bitness) [19:12] 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. [19:13] Hello everyone how's it going? IS this a place where I can find help for Ubuntu 13.04? [19:14] alainus, Never seen this problem, but the processes bulit into the bootrepair may have a 32 or 64 bit component not sure. [19:14] james, yes it is [19:14] james, Yep. [19:14] columb: it didn't do the trick. [19:14] Bower^: Do you mean something like Glipper? [19:15] wilee-nilee, alright. I'll try the linux-secure thing. thanks! [19:15] hello guys [19:15] kboodu: yup, exactly. thank you === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [19:16] 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. [19:17] 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 [19:18] james, What's the program? [19:19] The website we will be using is www.testout.com [19:19] in order to sign in i need silverlight :-/ [19:20] james, This the lab for the classes? === epsilonorion is now known as Guest67681 [19:21] 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. [19:22] 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] btw, this is how grub is set http://paste.ubuntu.com/5869010/ [19:23] james: that is ironic, linux learning material delivered in silverlight [19:23] 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] I know! Thats what i said [19:23] Ok I will try to find the adon [19:23] wont trick it if silverlight is actually needed [19:25] Hi. Does anyone know where I can get some help to get barry / opensync working? === IsoAnon is now known as Isolol === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off === Gugster is now known as Guga_ [19:28] Whats the command to run a java file from termina;l? [19:28] !java [19:28] 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. [19:29] Daughain: java -jar "file" [19:29] saiarcot895, Thanks, I forgot the -jar. [19:29] So I'm trying to connect to a headless VM, I know the password for the root user.. I already disabled the firewall, enabled hosts and everything but I'm new to this kind of deal so. What would be the next step to enable SSH/RDP access? [19:32] 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 [19:33] It took me this loing, because I was being lazy. =) === SJrX is now known as SJr [19:34] Hi folks, can anyone help me with a bit of an annoyance? My delete key is somehow mapped to the number 1. Del on my num pad works properly. [19:35] running 13.04 btw [19:36] any takers? [19:39] If im supposed to put something in my home folder, do i out it in /home or /home/shurtagul? [19:40] shurtagul: /home/shurtagul [19:40] llutz, thanks :) [19:40] ~ should also do the trick [19:40] Hey guys [19:40] Im trying to configure conky [19:40] <_44trent3> Does anybody have an idea why Minecraft runs slower on here than it did on Windows? Am I using proprietary drivers? [19:40] <_44trent3> *Ubuntu === Troy__ is now known as Troy^ [19:41] _44trent3, Not a gamer here, is it in wine? [19:41] What does everyone think about Mir being the default display server in 13.10? [19:42] 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] <_44trent3> Then the jar executes and you can play the game. [19:42] _44trent3, I suspected that, not sure myself. [19:42] hey all, is there a good controller to use for ubuntu? [19:42] i've tried using a ps3 bluetooth controller but it is a huge PITA to use every time i want to play a game [19:43] _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: also, the graphics drivers are likely not as "good" [19:44] What is the best Twitter client that integrates with 13:04? [19:44] I'm fairly sure it is, not on kubuntu and xubuntu though [19:44] <_44trent3> Most people that use Ubuntu and play Minecraft usually have better performance than they do in Windows, Holstein. [19:45] <_44trent3> I don't understand my issue in any universe. [19:45] any thoughts on my delete key issue? [19:45] _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] _44trent3, you the user that had problems installing flgrx, right? [19:46] What is the best Twitter client that integrates with 13:04? [19:46] olsonea: nope.. i would try as a different user, try from a live CD. try different keyboard maps [19:46] !best | Espirito [19:46] Espirito: Usually, there is no single "best" application to perform a given task. It's up to you to choose, depending on your preferences, features you require, and other factors. Do NOT take polls in the channel. If you insist on getting people's opinions, ask BestBot in #ubuntu-bots. [19:46] <_44trent3> I did have those issues Ari. I am the user that had issues with it. [19:46] TheAlliedFleet: #ubuntu-discuss would be better to discuss that. this is support only [19:46] holstein: yeah, i've tried remapping to the us layout, without success [19:46] _44trent3, go to software sources and find out what driver you're currently using..... and what card is your machine? [19:46] amd hd 2400? [19:46] i'll try it as another user though [19:46] Ah, sorry [19:46] bfn [19:47] olsonea: sure.. dont try remapping anything. try different locale's for the keyboard.. differnt types [19:47] <_44trent3> My card is a ATI Mobillity Radeon HD 2600...its a laptop card. [19:47] TheAlliedFleet, That question is offtopic try #ubuntu-offtopic ;) [19:47] What is Twitter client that integrates with 13:04? [19:47] _44trent3, what driver are you currently using? open source or fglrx? [19:48] <_44trent3> I think its fglrx. When I type in fglrx info it gives me this: OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. OpenGL renderer string: ATI Mobility Radeon HD 2600 OpenGL version string: 3.3.11672 Compatibility Profile Context [19:48] Espirito: whern i search "ubuntu twitter application" this is the first result http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/03/new-linux-twitter-app-birdie [19:48] TheAlliedFleet, there is a #ubuntu-mir channel as well [19:48] thank's [19:48] _44trent3: that hardware will likey not be as well supported under linux [19:49] <_44trent3> Okay. [19:49] <_44trent3> I accidentaly shot my DVD drive in my laptop so I can't get Windows back easily. [19:49] _44trent3, yeah, that looks about right actually. [19:49] _44trent3, how are you running minecraft again? [19:50] <_44trent3> I run it in the terminal the command is: java -Xmx1024M -Xms512M -cp minecraft.jar net.minecraft.LauncherFrame [19:51] #okchat [19:51] <_44trent3> It gives the default memory heap Minecraft gets in Windows. [19:51] disregard last [19:51] _44trent3, oh, I reckon this is how you got it? http://minecraft.net/download#all [19:52] maybe it's slow because your hardware isn't good enough perhaps? [19:52] <_44trent3> Ya. [19:52] When I run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade, I'm getting 404s like cray and none of my packages get upgraded or updated [19:52] _44trent3, I also found this in case you want to try it http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/minecraft-installer-for-ubuntu [19:52] can anyone suggest a program for breaking a pdf password? [19:52] Oberon4278: check the sources for PPA's that are old or not working [19:52] <_44trent3> Minecraft ran perfectly in Windows. [19:52] <_44trent3> I'll try that. [19:53] lol help please [19:53] holstein: is "PPA source" the correct Google search for that? [19:53] _44trent3: you have hardare designed and intented to run windows.. its not contructive, or fair to compare.. [19:53] _44trent3, yeah but this is linux.. maybe you need better hardware to run minecraft on linux/ubuntu.... [19:54] Oberon4278: i would actually just search the sources.. you can run "sudo apt-get update" and pastebin the output here for a volunteer to look at [19:54] <_44trent3> Okay. === motto is now known as m8 [19:55] my computer its not booting, it says waiting on root [19:55] Having an xterm problem.

Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually.

[20:44] traxster, sudo umount /dev/sda3 [20:44] 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? [20:45] Serelijah, if the hardware is slow most things will be slow, and usb keys have low bandwidth [20:45] now it says it is not mounted? [20:45] traxster, strange [20:45] so is it that it's mapped? [20:45] 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 [20:46] 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] at least you got me one step further. He found an error in a command listed in the instructions [20:46] ok, I would like to reboot, and try that command over, Are you going to be here for a few? [20:46] *you [20:47] traxster, sorry I need to hop in the shower and go to the grocery store [20:48] but if it is not mounted i don't see why you should have an issue [20:48] ok, thanks again for your help really appreciate it.... [20:49] traxster, you ran this command already? ryptsetup luksOpen /dev/sda3/ crypt [20:50] hi everybody [20:51] traxster, if so it looks like it will be mounted to /dev/mapper/crypt so maybe do sudo unmount /dev/mapper/crypt ? anyway gtg sorry [20:51] eroeurbano: hello [20:51] i will try [20:51] thanks again [20:52] I have one issue with one of my USB devices.. my Ubuntu 12.04 64bit doesn't recognize it nor mount it. Can you help me solving the issue? [20:52] eroeurbano: maybe, what type of usb device is it and does it work on other computers? [20:52] hi everyone. got a silly issue with my flash player. in kubuntu 13.04 after switching from a flash installed via flashaid(ages ago) to the adobe-flashplugin i couldn't play vimeo videos. i then tried installing flashplugin-installer. same behaviour. does anyone know which folders/files i would have to delete to "start fresh"?

[20:55] mal10c: on my other ubuntu laptop it is not mounted as well.. I don't have windows computers to try [20:56] I'm having an issue installing Ubuntu on a Win8 Pro tablet. I've got secureboot disabled, but it will not boot from either flash drive or cdrom. I think the issue I'm having is that it's a 32bit only Atom, and will not boot non-EFI. Any ideas? I got this tablet for a super steal of a deal at work and I really hate Windows 8. I was excited to get some KDE plasma action going on :D === Troy__ is now known as Troy^ [20:56] eroeurbano: does the kindle start up? if so, when you plug it in, try running a "dmesg" command in a terminal. That might give more info about the data [20:56] how can I use alt-f1 in gnome terminal? [20:57] you mean switch TTYs in a terminal window? [20:57] !mini [20:57] or that's ctrl+alt+f1, nvm [20:57] 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] 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 [20:58] Serelijah, mini-iso is what you want, and dualboot is easy setup with grub bootloader [20:58] 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 [20:59] Nach0z: the only solution I can think of is to change window manager so, as you can tell, I'm out of ideas :) [20:59] 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" [21:00] mal10c: yes it is /dev/sdc1 .. anyway here is the output of dmesg http://pastebin.com/DSS4fNLz [21:01] mal10c: when I type the mount command it says: mount: you must specify the filesystem type [21:03] eroeurbano: try: "sudo mount -t vfat /dev/sdc1 /mnt/kindle" [21:04] is there a way i can fix apt-get to update the package list ( for ubuntu 8.04 ? ) [21:04] Why can't I register an Ubuntu One account with my @ubuntu.com mail adress? [21:04] mal10c: it gives me an error output http://paste.ubuntu.com/5869278 [21:06] mal10c: the output of "dmesg | tail" is this http://paste.ubuntu.com/5869289/ [21:08] hey guys. why is there no apt-get package for apache2.4, php5.4 ?

[21:33] there is also an option called secure boot: enabled, shall i disable this?

[21:59] 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] or should i go into *something else, and choose sda or sdb specifically... but then i dont know which one.. [22:00] ill just go autopilot and choose erase disk then... [22:00] ill let the computer choose since i dont know better [22:00] 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] occ: is there anything on the disk you care about? [22:01] occ: blkid might give you more idea [22:01] gordon windows is on the disk. so no nothing i care about :) [22:01] iv selected autopilot(erase disk)... hopefully will work [22:01] anyone know what the ifort group is in ubuntu? [22:02] so I'm pretty sure pulseaudio doesn't see the built-in speakers and stereo plug [22:02] another interesting point is `aplay foo.wav` does not work, but `aplay -D plughw:CARD=PCH,DEV=0 foo.wav` does [22:03] oh it does give me an option in the next screen anyway.... i choose /dev/sda, since it is the first option [22:03] this has been plaguing me for 6 months.

[22:39] the web app is running — nginx might not be [22:39] yep, I can ssh in just fine [22:39] 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] yeah, I think it might actually just be nginx :X [22:39] `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 [22:40] 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] holstein: I don't and can't use the HDMI output [22:41] quuxman: you dont what?

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] @holstein, it was nginx — thx! [22:44] sykopomp: how did you install the driver? [22:44] johnfriel: cheers! [22:44] holstein: I can't replace the audio device that's built-in to the main board [22:44] jrib: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bumblebee [22:44] like that [22:44] quuxman: USB [22:44] What's a good package manager? [22:44] Serelijah: apt-get [22:44] 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] holstein: that is not ideal, but does work [22:44] quuxman: i *never* said "replace your laptop".. your laptop vendor never promised you linux suppport, correct? [22:45] holstein: the thing is, the built-in audio device and speakers _does_ work, just not with pulse, which is quite frustrating [22:45] 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] sykopomp: did you read "https://github.com/Bumblebee-Project/Bumblebee/wiki/Troubleshooting" ? [22:47] quuxman: remove pulse then.. try lubuntu live.. .lubuntu doesnt ship pulse [22:47] hmmmm [22:48] I thought mbps had optimus graphics. [22:48] holstein: what does lubuntu use for audio then? [22:48] quuxman: the same.. alsa.. just without pulse [22:51] I guess I'll try setting it up all over again without bumblebee. [22:52] So, how do I install something like the SDL library? What do I do after extraction? [22:53] Serelijah: what do you mean by "after extraction"? How did you extract exactly? [22:55] 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] tar -xzf SDL2-2.0.0.tar.gz [22:56] the nvidia module simply fails to load [22:56] 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] xorg log says to check the kernel log, but I can't see anything relevant. [22:56] sykopomp: what was the state before you tried to install nvidia? [22:57] 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] and now I can't even get a working x server :) [22:57] sykopomp: if you enabled a bunch of ppas to try to get bumblebee, they may be causing issues [22:57] I only enabled the one ppa. [22:57] nothing else [22:58] and only the one recommended in that wiki page I linked [22:58] sykopomp: s/bunch of// [22:58] I also just removed all the packages from that ppa that were installed. [22:58] sykopomp: but you've determined you don't need bumblebee? [22:58] I haven't, but that grep in the page you linked came up with no lines [22:58] sykopomp: what ubuntu version by the way? [22:58] so I thought maybe this laptop doesn't support optimus (which would be surprising) [22:59] this is ubuntu 13.04. Kernel is 3.8.0-26 === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry [23:00] 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] there's way too much unclear documentation out there for this stuff :\ === MobGod is now known as Guest72328 [23:00] sykopomp: I don't know much about bumblebee and optimus, but those pages may not be up to date for 13.04 [23:00] right [23:01] not only that, but I found a mention of recent kernel issues. === Guest72328 is now known as MobGod [23:01] sykopomp: if it's a fresh install, I would just do a new install and try without bumblebee first [23:01] just using the default drivers jockey suggests [23:02] jockey? [23:02] the "additional drivers" thing for ubuntu wasn't showing the nvidia drivers for me at all. [23:02] holstein: I'm pretty sure all I have to do is properly set the default device in alsa, than pulse will work [23:02] holstein: or at least I could use alsa directly in various apps then [23:02] it's kind of bizarre how poorly this is working. :\ [23:03] sykopomp: there was a bumblebee-specific irc channel mentioned in one of the links (#bumblebee iirc). You might try there [23:06] 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 [23:07] any opinions are welcome [23:08] nik00, Backtrack is not supported here. [23:09] not to mention that backtrack is outdated [23:09] nik00, well I don't think backtrack is setup as a total desktop environment [23:09] why would you want to [23:09] It isn't, but blackbuntu is and kali could be used as such [23:10] 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] If I put anything in the pcm.!default section of asound.conf other than "type hw", "card 0", "device 0", aplay shows an error [23:11] It is def not a permanent thing. Im just working on a project that required a lot of the tools in BT. [23:12] 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? [23:13] hola alguien sabe porque mplayer no funciona en xubuntu 12.04 [23:13] 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" [23:14] 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] hi all [23:15] how to upgrade ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 via command line [23:15] write sudo apt-get dist-upgrade [23:15] zryan [23:16] oneking i have this error (Traceback (most recent call last): [23:16] File "/usr/bin/do-release-upgrade", line 10, in [23:16] from UpdateManager.Core.DistUpgradeFetcherCore import DistUpgradeFetcherCore [23:16] File "/usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/UpdateManager/Core/DistUpgradeFetcherCore.py", line 34, in [23:16] import GnuPGInterface [23:16] zryan: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:16] ImportError: No module named GnuPGInterface [23:17] zryan, This a desktop or server? === dziegler_off is now known as dziegler [23:17] sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get -y dist-upgrade [23:17] desktop [23:17] oneking, Heh not even within a mile. ;) [23:17] !eol | zryan [23:17] zryan: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [23:18] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5869564/ [23:18] zryan is best update with a cd [23:19] zryan, You have to do a eol upgrade which I personally would not advise, a fresh install would be my route, but do what you need to and back it up before you do it. [23:20] oneking, You are just giving the littlest info some of which is not even close. [23:20] zryan: You should also backup /etc and save it off as that will be wiped out with a fresh install. [23:21] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5869573/ [23:22] i have a nvidia geforce 8400 gs and I'm trying to get separate x screen to recognize the dvi port as primary monitor and vga as secondary i know the bios works this way as when i boot it shows bios info on the dvi monitor [23:23] wili nine jodete puto [23:23] zryan, Did you read the bots info on eol upgrades, 10.04 the desktop is end of life. [23:25] Update Manager GUI not Open!!! [23:26] zryan, the best thing would be to download the new LTS or 13.04 and just reinstall. [23:26] If I have a script that runs a command that uses up the terminal, how can I open another virtual terminal to run the next command? === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [23:28] zryan, A eol upgrade uses the terminal not a gui, read this. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [23:28] Kitt3n no sulations in terminal command line? [23:30] williamtdr, try ctl alt F2 [23:30] Where do I have to place a package for apt-get to find it? [23:30] Serelijah, What? [23:30] w30: using a script === BJfreeman is now known as Guest40713 [23:31] Sora1995|Cloud: if you're installing a package manually, use dpkg -i [23:31] williamtdr, what about using a & at the end of the command in the script? [23:32] w30: will that execute all the commands simoultaniously? === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [23:33] williamtdr, that runs the command outside the terminal [23:33] w30: won't work because I'm using xterm [23:34] 's -e argument [23:34] Serelijah: instead [23:34] everything after then -e is taken literally [23:34] alguien habla español [23:34] yo [23:34] bashtampede [23:34] ok [23:34] men soy nuevo en ubuntu [23:35] !es | bashstampede [23:35] 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] que bien [23:35] y necesito los comandos basicos para q esto no me coma [23:35] bashstampede, english only please. [23:36] Does a package have to be in a specific directory to be installed? [23:36] 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] williamtdr, if I run firefox & in script firefox will launch and the terminal goes back to the prompt [23:36] Serelijah: I think you're completely misunderstanding how package management works in ubuntu. [23:36] 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? [23:37] sykopomp: Of course I am. [23:37] Serelijah: what jrib said. Read it. [23:37] 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] Serelijah: read the link about installing software ubottu sent (and also going through http://help.ubuntu.com would be helpful) [23:37] 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 [23:38] williamtdr, if I kill the terminal it kills firefox but if I exit at the prompt firefox stays alive [23:38] _44trent3, yea... boot off another disk [23:38] 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] thank you [23:38] w30: I [23:38] _44trent3, that's one way yea [23:38] nik00, At least the vm's vdi's [23:38] m trying it [23:39] wilee, thanks man. [23:39] <_44trent3> How would I get gparted on a livecd though? [23:39] no prob [23:40] _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 [23:41] yes [23:41] jrib: I did read that link... [23:42] <_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. [23:44] <_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] i want work [23:44] The Tor client and browser found here, www.torproject.org, is there any reason to doubt its trustworthyiness? [23:46] <_44trent3> Or I could blank the Ubuntu disc I made the other day. [23:46] 44trent3 I do not believe you can install windows through wine, you could mount it virtually though. [23:47] <_44trent3> Like mount the iso in virtualbox and restart. [23:47] 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] You would be playing windows in a VM, rather then directly, I think, I don't know much about it [23:48] <_44trent3> Ooooh. How would I install Windows without a DVD Drive or USB [23:48] 44trent3 Why can't you do either? [23:50] oh, your computer lacks both? How did you get your current OS on then? [23:52] 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 === bashstampede is now known as master007 [23:55] Meeken, Tor is in my repos and yours if you have them not ticked off. === FiremnEd is now known as Edb [23:55] 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. [23:56] <_44trent3> Am I using the open source catalyst driver? === Edb is now known as Guest3067 [23:56] wilee-nilee: repos? "ticked off"? [23:56] Meeken, and by "trusted" I mean "vetted" by someone withint the Ubuntu community, I'm not claiming that Tor Browser is malicious. [23:56] *within [23:56] I guess ubuntu isn't really ready to run on recent macbooks yet. I'll wait another 6 months and try again. :\ [23:56] Oh, so do I need to specify more repositories for APT? [23:57] Meeken, in the sources are the option of turning the repos on or off the term is ticked=# for off. [23:58] 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? [23:59] wilee-nilee: The browser package is not in software center [23:59] hello guys [23:59] wilee-nilee: Only thing there is "vidalia" [23:59] Meeken, vetted by who exactly?
