=== Jikan is now known as Jikai [00:01] Frankler: honestly, I think the NSA is just a manifestation of an mplayer process [00:01] I'm pretty sure we all live in the mplayer [00:01] to answer my own questions: yes, ubuntu uses iptables still, it's probably easier to just use the CLI to do iptables [00:02] everything uses iptables :) [00:02] thats a bold statement reisio [00:03] Does anybody have any ideas as to what the mysterious announcement on ubuntu.com means? [00:03] I bet it's something to do with mobile and desktop interoperability [00:03] maybe it's to do with ubuntu touch [00:04] s1lence, though this is a discussion that would best be had in ubuntu-offtopic :) [00:04] Thank you euxneks [00:04] DYSW: nah [00:04] s1lence: make sure to say hi first if you go there [00:06] my desktop is messed up http://i.imgur.com/72XCLka.jpg how to reset it ? [00:06] try a hammer [00:06] Mudack here with another problem...i'm about ready to switch back to ubuntu. [00:06] sorry.. wrong channel === microcode is now known as meinsanto [00:07] is there a way to have a different wallpaper on each login account in ubuntu? === Jikai is now known as Jikan [00:07] matelot, wow [00:07] What did you do? [00:07] lauratika: yup [00:08] Anybody know how to change Elinks default image viewer from fbi to fbv? fbi does not work in Screen or fbterm :/ [00:08] matelot, looks kind of abstract [00:08] reisio: I put you in my friends list if that's alright. [00:08] reisio: do you know how? [00:08] Mudack: :) [00:09] lauratika: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/04/wallch-wallpaper-changer-for-gnome-3.html maybe [00:09] clue_h: you see how I have 4 "desktop" there…pls help [00:09] reisio: but most important will you share this info? [00:09] depends on exactly what you want [00:09] reisio: but unfortunately I have another problem... [00:09] there are a number of ways you could accomplish it [00:09] reisio: to me? [00:09] lauratika: yes [00:10] I'll brb [00:10] well, i want to be able to each user has its own wallppaper on the login page, the link you post is about a third application is there a way via terminal perhaps or a GUI? [00:11] lauratika: hrmm, you want the wallpaper to be unique to a user? Or to actually change the moment you click a name? [00:11] the former is quite simple [00:11] have I finally reached the ubuntu help channel? [00:11] Phoenix1969: yup [00:11] No.. I'm sorry.. This is the pre-help channel [00:11] be unique to a user login page [00:12] I;m back [00:12] This is only the limbo level of help [00:12] if your question is deemed actually worth of help you will be fowarded to a secondary channel which will verify your ability to actually receive help. [00:12] lauratika: well the login screen handles more than one user [00:12] lauratika: how do you want to differentiate? [00:12] MoTec: LOLMA [00:12] I have the blue windows startscreen where you choose the OS, but the keyboard seems unresponsive & it just counts down from 10 then boots to win8 [00:12] with wallpaper [00:12] there are 7 levels below this one [00:13] semitones: indeed.. progress has been made! [00:13] reisio: with all the problems i'm having with Musix should I just switch to Ubuntu? [00:13] lauratika: so you go to the login screen, choose a user & login, then once logged in you see a user-specific wallpaper? That's what you want? [00:13] Phoenix1969: you install a dual ubuntu/windows? [00:13] laura, yes [00:13] on same drive [00:13] Phoenix1969: What are your Specs? [00:13] no, just on the login screen, each account has their own walpapper [00:14] Mudack: it's hard to say whether that'd make any difference [00:14] 500 gb ssd msi gd658d, core173930k [00:14] Phoenix1969:ubuntu is your second install [00:14] Mudack: what trouble are you having now? === mydogsnameisrudy is now known as monkeyjuice [00:14] yes, 2nd [00:14] reisio: Chrome and other installations [00:14] Mudack: what about them? [00:15] aaah, its the amd 8core [00:15] i have a hdd on usb, if i were to use esata plug, would it change the /dev/sd*? [00:15] Phoenix1969: and is not booting on ubuntu? just windows [00:15] reisio: no, just on the login screen, each account has their own walpapper [00:15] subcool: it very well may [00:16] subcool: you could give it a LABEL or utilize a UUID, though [00:16] subcool: or setup a udev rule to always keep it at /dev/specificName [00:16] right, it has the option at start, but not in bios, in some weird blue windows screen, but keyboard no go [00:16] how to choose ubuntu? [00:16] lauratika: that you see when you click on the name? [00:17] reisio: i see the same wallpapper i add to login admin account [00:17] Reisio: My terminal says that it can't fetch any of the packages i'm requesting and the official websites won't give me a easily running file, and I can't find a system Software Center [00:17] Phoenix1969: what you mean the option at start but not in bios? [00:17] lauratika: do you need to know how to change the wallpaper at all? Or something more complicated? [00:17] Phoenix1969: do you have the opotion or not to boot into ubuntu? [00:17] Mudack: tell the channel about the error [00:18] Phoenix1969: Do you mean the boot menu? [00:18] it does have the option there indeed, i just am unable to physically choose it [00:18] resisio: change wallpaper at login for each account, not the wallpaper. but at login. are you following me? [00:18] Reisio: which channel? [00:18] this one [00:18] lauratika: nope [00:19] reisio, well, i base this question off the fact that i have two hdd's on usb in an raid array (raid 0 [00:19] Phoenix1969: and keyboard works on wind 8? [00:19] yes [00:19] reisio:is there a way to have a different wallpaper on each login account in ubuntu [00:19] subcool: what for [00:19] lauratika, at login, there is not a way to determin what account is on, you are at the point there is not a account active, so how do you want ubuntu to choose? [00:19] lauratika: yes [00:19] reisio: How do I do that? *pounds fist to chest* I want to serve my community! [00:19] reisio, raid 0 -- now id like to switch one of them to a esata cable [00:20] Mudack: I'm just saying don't put my nick before the message :p more people will be likely to read it [00:20] Okay [00:20] subcool: yeah that could be complicated :) [00:20] subcool: you probably don't need or want that raid, though, IMO [00:20] yeah, i need them in a raid 0 right now. [00:20] they create a larger drive i need. [00:20] !cookie | reisio [00:20] reisio: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! [00:20] OerHeks: what you talking about?, simple lighdm can have different wallppapers on the login page, and if you change up and down on different accounts login fields wallpaper can change, how i do that? [00:21] Hey guys, my system software centre seems to be non-existent, my terminal won't fetch packages, and official program websites give too many options, what do I do? === meinsanto is now known as microcode [00:22] subcool: lvm is what you'd want for "a larger drive" [00:22] or unionfs or something like that [00:22] raid is about high availability [00:22] and for most people: lost files :p [00:22] reisio, i dont like lvm very much right now. [00:22] it should work with the up & down arrow keys, and enter to execute...no? [00:22] lauratika, sure, lightdm can have different wallpapers, choose one. but not connected to an account, because an account is not active, so how do you expect ubuntu to know what account is active? [00:22] Phoenix1969: is this a usb keyboard? [00:22] * OerHeks facepalms [00:22] subcool: nobody does :p but it does the job [00:22] lol [00:22] usb [00:22] lauratika: either lightdm does that or it doesn't, read the lightdm docs [00:22] Mudack, what kind of error message are you getting from apt-get? === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [00:23] lauratika: if it doesn't do that, it might be simpler to find another DM that does [00:23] uriah@localhost:~$ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install skype [00:23] Get: 1 http://packages.musix.es lenny Release.gpg [490B] [00:23] Ign http://packages.musix.es lenny/main Translation-en_GB [00:23] Get: 2 http://packages.musix.es lenny/updates Release.gpg [490B] [00:23] Ign http://packages.musix.es lenny/updates/main Translation-en_GB [00:23] Mudack: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[00:24] OerHeks: it used to do it, i just dont remember how i did it last time, it has to deal with ubuntu tewak perhaps? [00:24] Mudack: neither lenny nor musix is ubuntu... just sayin' [00:24] Gahhh! [00:24] lol [00:24] jordan, reisio im just curious.. [00:24] Phoenix1969:did you turn on legacy USB on the bios? [00:24] btw, didn't mean to flood.....FloodBot was nice to me though..... [00:25] Mudack, I don't really know where to go from here sorry [00:25] no? [00:26] Phoenix1969: try that up [00:26] subcool: about? [00:26] silence: it's fine, the .iso for Ubuntu 13.whatever is loaded and in my downloads, see y'all in a bit! [00:26] reisio, if it was possible without a lot of fuss. [00:26] k, brb [00:26] subcool: if what was? [00:26] its working fine now- just thought maybe i could tweak it.. [00:26] the taskbar in the top and the right disappear all the time, how do I solve this without restarting??? [00:26] changing one of them to esata. [00:27] subcool: it is if you know how your raid hardware/software is setup/configured [00:27] : what you mean disappear [00:27] subcool: Does this array contain your root filesystem? [00:27] worked like a charm instantly, thank you laura [00:27] its bad enough you have to have esata plugged in from the boot. [00:27] jordan, no [00:27] im using it has a backup while i test something [00:27] its very temporary [00:27] Phoenix1969: no prob, it's odd because i assume is a new pc right? [00:27] lauratika: you know the bar in the top that says ubuntu desktop [00:27] it just disappears [00:27] subcool: Then I don't expect you'll have any problems switching to esata. [00:27] well actually not only that [00:28] quili: what ubuntu version you are using? [00:28] the top bar in any program disappears [00:28] I found out more about my broadcom problem with my install.

[00:29] quil: you also can try unity --reset [00:30] lauratika: can I do that with all the programs opened? [00:30] reisio: *facepalm* I found the Xarchive application. I'm glad I did one last sweep!!! [00:30] quil: this will restart unity. [00:30] Mudack: and what do you plan on doing with that? :p [00:30] Mudack: installing applications from tarballs on distros like Ubuntu is usually doing it wrong [00:31] reisio: at least now I get my programs xD [00:31] lauratika: I don't know what is unity, will it affect opened programs? === kevin is now known as Guest29083 [00:32] my ctrl alt f keys aren't bringing me to tty [00:32] !unity [00:32] Unity is the default UI since Ubuntu 11.04.

[00:58] devmedoo, what program did you use to burn the DVD? [00:58] ashmpoo studio [00:59] ashampoo [01:00] devmedoo, the easiest solution would be to use a USB stick instead of DVDs, but try the burner included in Windows to burn the iso to a new DVD [01:02] kitt3n?

[01:02] I have an sd card I'm trying to reformat, it wont allow me to delete any files on it, saying its read only, I will not allow me to unmount disk, therefore unable to format it or do anything else [01:02] its pretty much locked up [01:02] I even logged in as root, and still can not get it to unmount or anything [01:02] devmedoo, yes, yes, I am here [01:02] any ideas on what to do? [01:03] apleersdf: use dd to zero it out then repartion it [01:03] whats the command? [01:03] ive seed sd cards fail and go read only [01:04] kitt3n [01:04] here? [01:04] apleersdf, there might be a locking mechanism on the SD card itself too [01:04] devmedoo, YES, I am here! What is it? [01:04] or use fdisk or gparted to repartion it [01:04] Kitt3n: ? like what? [01:04] I've used this card before, but now I'm just trying to reformat it [01:05] apleersdf, a little plastic piece that you can move up and down or something. [01:05] I already checked that Kitt3n, it was the first thing I checked, and checked it a few time after that making sure that isn't the problem [01:05] used it befor does not prove its not got hw issues now.. could be a switch on it also [01:05] seen those go bad [01:07] plug it in.. watch dmesg output to tell what sd# the device is.. then try formating it via the cli [01:07] kitt3n? [01:07] here? [01:07] devmedoo, what is it? -_- [01:07] The card is not seen in gparted [01:08] i lost connection since i said ashampoo burning studio [01:08] it is seened in disk ulity, but now when I plug in the card, it isn't bringing up the folder like normal [01:08] devmedoo, right, well, the easiest solution is to use a USB stick instead of DVDs, but you could try burn a new DVD with Windows' built-in image burner [01:08] if the filesystem is currupted that would make sense [01:08] if gparted does not see the devix [01:09] device.. thats very weird [01:09] in disk ulity, its not mounting when plugged in the system anymore (which is odd) cause it would, when I try to mount it in disk ulity, it sais Deamon is inhibited [01:09] it wont let me do anything, gparted doesn't see it [01:09] how do you know that the dvd is corrupt? [01:09] fallback to the cli to see.what the system is seeing.. not the gui tools [01:10] devmedoo, personal experience, DVDs can easily break ... [01:10] devmedoo, virtually, that is.

[01:24] !md5 | devmedoo [01:24] how can I fix this because it only started happening with the new update...and prior to the update it worked perfectly fine [01:24] devmedoo: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [01:24] i use checksum === Jikan is now known as Jikai [01:24] how to verify the file system === Psil0cybin is now known as Psil0Cybin [01:24] arun see what sudo parted -l says about the device [01:24] or 'sudo blkid' [01:25] i use checksum calculator [01:25] i use checksum calculator [01:25] so did the sum match the one at the downloads page?

[01:34] Pandee: Were you the one helping me yesterday? [01:34] devmedoo: i have no idea what you mean by that... [01:34] you calcullate the sum on file 1.. look at it.. then compare it to the sum listed in the file.. [01:34] netlar: no i don't believe so [01:35] i mean that the program give my one md5 for the file , so each file in dvd have md5 [01:35] I dont use that app.. so no idea of its features. [01:35] you want to sum the whatever.iso file.. dont mount it. [01:35] devmedoo, you dont extract the iso. [01:36] Should of remembered his handle [01:36] devmedoo, you burn the iso to a usb stick or dvd, not extract [01:36] windows apps treating .iso files as an archive... always lovely.. when its totally wrong. [01:37] i tihnk with vista and later you can right click to burn properly [01:37] i just have some windows app that puts 'md5sum' on the context meni i recall. [01:38] i always ise infrarecorder to burn the isos but not used that in ages. [01:38] i use checksum [01:38] the iso is corrrect md5 [01:38] many of the isu burning apps can also calculate the md5sum [01:38] the dvd and iso is same bytes [01:38] same bytes does NOT mean its the same sum. [01:38] devmedoo_, thats not the problem. the problem is you extracted the files from the iso [01:39] bazhang : i didn't , i made dvd by iso with ashampoo burning studio [01:39] devmedoo_, what software did you use to burn to dvd [01:39] reburn using some nice simple tool like infrarecorder, or imgburn , or some other known al. [01:39] app. [01:40] !burn [01:40] infrarecorder mmmmm , i'll try [01:40] CD/DVD burning software: k3b (KDE), brasero (GNOME), gnomebaker, xcdroast, wodim (command-line) | To burn ISO files, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BurningIsoHowto [01:40] devmedoo_, you md5 the iso BEFORE you burn to dvd [01:40] the md5 = 8D72E2DB7E72E13813731EAB37A14D26 [01:40] devmedoo_, not the extracted files , but the iso [01:41] /disconnect [01:42] i didn't understand you [01:43] i think infrarecorder has a 'md5sum' item when you select an iso.. you can caompare to the one given in the file at the url mentioned above [01:44] dr_willis i already checked and it's correct!!! [01:45] .................................. [01:45] devmedoo_, stop that [01:45] devmedoo_: then use infrarecorder to burn it to dvd at the slowest speed you can and have it verify the burn [01:46] ok === Lajjla is now known as Frub [01:47] http://sourceforge.net/projects/infrarecorder/? [01:47] ?? [01:47] http://sourceforge.net/projects/infrarecorder/ [01:49] is there any prog make virtual dvd? [01:49] Anybody use ushare? [01:49] why do you even think you need a virtual dvd devmedoo_ ? [01:50] ushare worked well for me the little i used it Ycarene [01:53] whats the attribute to view ls -l with the files in gigs or megs [01:53] dr_willis : it's 4 am here in egypt :) , how can i buy a blank dvd hhhhhh ^_^ [01:53] subcool: -h [01:53] thanks [01:54] devmedoo_: not my problem.. i always use usb flash drives. [01:54] anyone know how to use sshfs to mount a folder so that it is writable by all users on the system, but the permissions are translated to a single user on the remote side? [01:54] dr_willis : i didn't say that is your problem .... [01:56] Hi folks, I seem to have an issue that, when my system boots up, eth0 doesn't connect until a user is logged in, is there away to make it connect at boot? [01:56] Distro 12.04 [01:56] devmedoo_, what is it that you want. [01:56] just testing [01:57] taek: eth0 is a wired or wireless connection? [01:57] Wired. [01:57] thats.. very weird taek .. [01:57] Tell me about it, I have OwnCloud running and I can't connect until after a user is logged in [01:57] hi , test test.... , i'm not mr_willis [01:57] taek: are you using encrypted homes? or encrypted / [01:58] Btw, this system was distro-upgraded from 10.4.4 [01:58] I don't believe so. [01:58] I don't recall setting it up in that manner initially. [01:58] taek: as a dirty 'trick' you could try restarting the networking, or using 'ifup eth0' in /etc/rc.local [01:59] its possible networking is trying to come up and failing for some reason, then the user login some how retriggers it to try again [01:59] im not sure what logs would even be logging that. [02:00] well I just added the ifup eth0 [02:00] abouve Exit 0 [02:00] taek: if you log in at virtual console, does your network become "fixed"? Also, I would urge you to actually check up on the encryption. Often times in this channel, "believing" and "recalling" lead troubleshooters down the wrong path ;) [02:00] taek: your problem is so miss , get a support from one other than me.... [02:00] might want to do a ifdown eth0 ; sleep 20 ; ifup eth0 or similer. [02:00] Virtual Console? [02:00] I dunno, I use Desktop. === stephen is now known as rotwatsb [02:01] console = alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 [02:01] taek: yes, this is for troubleshooting purposes. I'm asking you to try that. [02:01] (comparatively speaking) [02:01] anyone know how to use sshfs to mount a folder so that it is writable by all users on the system, but the permissions are translated to a single user on the remote side? [02:02] jrib: don't make yourself like a pro .... [02:02] DWSR: im thinking that would be a neat trick. :) and a possible security nightmare... since sshfs uses the fuse system.. the fusermount command may have options to allow that. [02:02] hmm should I logout of unity? [02:03] taek: you should place your system in its "broken" state. Whatever that means (probably reboot). And then log in through a virtual console. [02:03] dr_willis: :x [02:03] hmm okay [02:03] i'll be back then [02:04] taek: if your system remains "broken" after log in at virtual console, check if eth0 is up [02:04] will do [02:04] if its just opencloud failing to startup.. having an encvrypted home could be a potential issue.. [02:04] brb [02:04] taek: I'm using "broken" to mean "can't connect to opencloud" [02:04] to hell [02:04] wow.. trolls using the freenode web chat to spam us.. how lovely. [02:04] is there a irc that alerts member logins [02:04] dr_willis_: right, if I had to bet I would bet on your initial guess about encrypted homes [02:05] hhhhh , i like joking hhhh [02:05] ya willis my too [02:06] guess you could set up opencloud to share some unencrypted filesystem as a test also. ;) that way you can verifyu it is working. [02:07] Anyone know how to see the redirects I have on the program 'redir'? [02:07] <^jirb> ok , i'll do it tommorw [02:08] screens to be working with the rc.local [02:08] seems* [02:09] using ptty1 right now [02:09] ok good [02:09] its possible openmcloud is trying to start befor networking is started. or its waiting for networking to start.. [02:09] Owncloud* [02:10] Owncloud runs in apache2. [02:10] im lazy and just use dropbox and box.net and ubuntu one ;) [02:10] ok good you know [02:10] say welcome to ddos [02:10] <^jirb> say welcome to ddos [02:10] say welcome to ddos [02:10] say welcome to ddos [02:10] lame trolls are lame. [02:11] Please get you clones out [02:11] there's only ONE Dr. [02:11] I have a VPS - so I am acoustom to some of the workings. But in a server enviornment eth0 just works without login. [02:11] /server irc.byroe.net === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity [02:11] That's the truth [02:11] 'one ban to ban them alll!' ;P [02:12] NO IDLEONE [02:12] NO IDLEONE [02:12] <^jirb> NO IDLEONE [02:12] NO IDLEONE [02:12] Sweet, Thanks for the quick fix mr_willis [02:12] that seems weird that the vps is acting that way. [02:12] Now I can turn this weak/bad boy headless [02:12] hhhh , no thanks for hacks [02:12] This isn't a VPS, this is a full blown desktop [02:12] or is this not a VPS? [02:12] I am just stating, I have a VPS without issues [02:13] thatw even weirder then [02:13] it's a piece of shit [02:13] Except.. [02:13] VPS can't update anylonger. [02:13] But that will be fixed. [02:13] <^jirb> really [02:13] Distro isn't supported any longer, so an upgrade will be in order for sat or sun. [02:13] When I run dmesg, it's filled with errors about unknown keycode e03e. They seem to be happening multiple times per second. Not sure what the best course of action is. One blog post I read said I should map the keycode to null. [02:14] Yeah, Ubuntu 10.0.4.4 LTS has been phased out. [02:14] savagejen: or edit /etc/sysconf.cfg (i think) to not be as verbose in its logging. :) [02:14] Or figure out what the key is that is causing it, and remap it [02:14] dr_willis, I'm less concerned about the logging and more concerned about the cause :) [02:15] ive had dmesg get flooded by broken hardware befor. (a web cam in my case) [02:15] not seen a keyvode flood.. [02:15] I don't think it's a key, but I am running on a touch screen laptop, and I have to wonder if it's related to this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/1099289 [02:15] Ubuntu bug 1099289 in unity (Ubuntu) "Touch screen stops respoding to clicking after running for a while" [Medium,Confirmed] [02:15] I bet its that pesky 'anykey' that no one can ever find! [02:16] Well, it seems to me that either the key got mapped to Null, the keyboard selected setting is incorrect, or the keyboard is just broken. [02:16] ubottu, oh, is the problem confirmed to be my touch screen already? [02:16] Keyboard appears to fully function. This is a brand new Lenovo Yoga. [02:17] Any other input device besides screen and keyboard? [02:17] * dr_willis read that as a 'Yoda' and envisioned a Funny green laptop [02:17] I am using a usb wifi nic [02:17] Here Is The Checkout Baby!! [02:17] I disabled the onboard nic in the bios [02:17] and there's a touch pad mouse [02:17] Is the trouch screen doing anything it shouldn't? [02:18] taek there's the known bug 1099289 [02:18] bug 1099289 in unity (Ubuntu) "Touch screen stops respoding to clicking after running for a while" [Medium,Confirmed] https://launchpad.net/bugs/1099289 [02:18] are you even using the touchscreen? [02:18] I was! [02:18] Anyone know how to list the redirects I have made using the program 'redir'? [02:18] but it's flaky [02:18] ;) you touched it in a bad way and it got mad. [02:18] I wasn't asking about the bug, I was asking about your usage of the touch screen. [02:18] so if I transition the laptop into a tablet to read kindle books, I noticed sometimes the touch screen doesn't respond when I want to turn the page [02:19] cuddylier: what do you mean by 'redirects' ? [02:19] so it's annoying that Ii have to turn it over to press the mouse instead [02:19] Then maybe you have prior said mentionted bug. [02:19] yes, I have experienced that bug [02:19] dr_willis It's a program which means you can redirect traffic from an IP to another IP on another server box [02:19] but I am unsure it's related to the message in dmesg [02:19] apt-get install redir [02:20] hello there. is there a developers channle? [02:20] But I can't find much documentation on it, apart from obviously typing 'redir' in SSH which doesn't help much [02:20] cuddylier: sounds like a ssh tunnle. ;) but i rarely need such things... at leat not lately [02:20] Yeah, it's a tunneling thing [02:20] Does the touch screen work properly in "normal laptop" setup vrs "tablet" setup ? [02:20] redir --help ? ;) [02:20] taek, most of the time [02:20] man redir ? [02:21] I am wondering if there's an issue with ubuntu not reading the switch state of the screen [02:21] taek, there's currently no recognition by the laptop of what position the screen is in, which is something I hope to be able to find a way to configure at some point [02:21] im so used to reading books on my kindle paperwhite.. reading them on a full laptop would seem weird. [02:21] er, Ubuntu doesn't seem to read the accelerometer I think [02:21] dr_willis: http://pastebin.com/aXqkjer2 [02:21] That might be where you're getting an the errors from?. [02:22] oh, interesting [02:22] the laptop might be sending it as a keypress or some such. [02:22] I don't know personally, but just throwing thoughts out. [02:23] I guess, with the ubuntu tablet coming out, I was just hoping ubuntu would have full support of the touch screen interfaces in all of these fancy new ultrabooks [02:23] maybe with a bit of configuration [02:23] I figured they would of solved that issue with the invention of Unity. [02:23] But different hardwares do things differently [02:23] yeah [02:24] taek, Since you just guessing what about gobl;ins. [02:24] although it looks like a bunch of us Ubuntu users have Lenovo Yogas now [02:24] Goblins are always outside my window!! I am affraind to go out there! [02:24] taek, Somehow I believe that. [02:24] http://linux.die.net/man/1/redir ii would think it may not have such options, just logging options, since it seems to be designed to work as a service [02:24] :D [02:25] anyhow, let me get back into desktop mode and out of ptty1 [02:25] just use netcat :D [02:25] pipe netcat to netcat [02:25] dr_willis yeah, just wonder how I'm meant to remove redirects or even see a list lol [02:26] cuddylier: ;) it was hard even finding a google hit for docs.. the term 'redir' is a bit vague [02:26] Yeah lol [02:26] Such a good program and exactly what I needed but little docs :( [02:26] 'use the wource luke!' ;) [02:26] source [02:26] That was weird. [02:27] I got redirected to another channel. === taek is now known as Taek [02:27] Hmm.. i really really have to wonder how durable that Lenovo Yoga Hinge that does all the swiveling is.... [02:27] Hopefully not made from plastic [02:28] ive had to many normal laptop hinges break over the years.. [02:28] I played with a display model and it was pretty durable. It stood up to being a display model, after all. =P [02:28] I must say, I really dislike Unity. [02:28] :-( [02:28] at least its not an emachine brand. ;) [02:28] Unity works well for me. [02:28] Have to doo too much to get to what you want [02:29] I dislike Unity, too. I haven't used it on a touchscreen, though, so I can't give it a fair shake. [02:29] then again i ju,p around so many differnt OS's and desktops on a weekly basis (or daily basis) it dosent matter what desktop im using [02:29] Well, I attempted to stay with Unbutu 10.04.4 as long as I can [02:29] They phased it out. [02:30] There's MATE but.. not developed enough for my usage. [02:30] the latest gnome-shell has an offical gnome-2 type mode i belive.. ive not tried it. [02:30] I'm using xfce [02:30] I can see mate and cinnimon vananishing in the near future [02:30] Problem with MATE is.. There don't have enough devs for how many distros they are working on [02:31] manpower is always the limiting factor these days it seems [02:32] Well, they have maybe one dedicated dev per OS/Distro, and a few floaters.. [02:32] As awesome as it would be for them to stay up todate with the distros changes, they arn't able to. [02:32] its really amazing how few devs are responsible for some of the major apps, and tools out there. [02:33] hmm, I wonder if I can install irssi-scripts [02:33] most of the webcam drivers i hear are done by like a small group of people. 2-3? with one guy doing most of them [02:33] and use them while irssi is running. [02:33] Ive swithed over to weechat in stead of irssi these days. ;) [02:33] Taek: You can just download them to #/.irssi [02:34] ~/.irssi... [02:34] yup [02:34] to lazy to shift [02:34] hahaha [02:35] bbl. [02:35] Nice [02:35] nicklist screen [02:35] works [02:35] :D [02:35] too used to mirc. [02:36] Taek: how it looks like with 15 hundreds of bots in channel? [02:36] Now to get ubuntu running on my linksys router! [02:36] Looks fine. [02:37] Taek: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Linksys [02:37] It amazes me how developers can cram a linux distro onto a 8MB flash drive with everything they need to run the router. [02:37] qin I already have DD-WRT on my linksys [02:38] #Beginner [02:38] but it's foobar! I may have to reflash it [02:38] Taek: why ubuntu would be better? [02:38] Why Not, Ubuntu server, ubuntu Desktop, Ubuntu Router, Ubuntu Laptop, Ubuntu cellphone, ubuntu netbook, ubuntu tablet [02:38] gabash: You do not need # here.. [02:38] Ubuntu kids?! === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [02:39] Taek: Yeah, pity that ubuntu do not cook and stuff. [02:39] get a smart programmer and engineering tech to build a system of robots ran on ubuntu.. sure you could [02:40] I mean, I have a friend who's house is basically ran on ubuntu [02:40] controls the light, they reprogrammed their fridge. alarm system, garage. [02:40] out door water sprinkler system [02:41] Also programmed with android/iOS to remote control it [02:41] Pretty nifty stuff. [02:42] Too bad he wouldn't wouldn't release the src ! [02:42] anyone here use teamviewer? [02:42] I use. [02:42] my "setup offline access" option is missing [02:42] What good is using teamviewer in offline access mode? [02:42] s/offline/unattended [02:43] it's supposed to be under "connection" [02:43] how to get netgear g54 wireless adapter working on ubuntu 64bit? [02:43] but the option is just not present, Taek [02:43] which version? [02:43] 8 [02:44] Installed or running as "run" mode? [02:44] it is connecting properly but internet speed drops to almost zero frequently [02:44] installed [02:44] with the daemon on [02:44] let me install and atake a look [02:44] I am normally using windows [02:45] Taek: http://i.imgur.com/2FHVn7r.png [02:46] (yes, I refreshed the password...) [02:46] soni1877, please show us pastebin link of "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net" [02:46] soni1877: check what chipset and module its using and check askubuntu.com there may be some known isdues === River_Rat is now known as RiverRat [02:48] http://pastebin.com/KbWFw2GP [02:49] Extras -> Options -> Advance -> Advance Networking Settings (TeamViewer server) Configure [02:49] should do the trick for you [02:50] so I can't add it to my account? [02:50] like I did with all my other machines? [02:50] I assume after you cofigure it, you should beable to do so [02:51] also note, since TeamViewer for (LOinux) runs in Wine - It might not actually have the ability to do it. [02:52] Linux* [02:52] Yeah I noticed the bundled wine [02:53] it's just interesting that the option is completely removed without a mention on the internet [02:54] that's what happens when a big company like teamviewer decide to go the lazy route and not actually make a linux specific software [02:54] instead just use windows emulation [02:55] varunendra: http://pastebin.com/KbWFw2GP [02:55] Honestly I am happy TeamViewer even works on linux through wine, the horrors you have to go through to get alot apps to run on it period is bad enough. [02:56] Hey guys can someone help me I recently updated my computure through the update manager, and now when i try and boot into ubuntu i sometimes get a blackscreen or i get booted into the text only console, and cannot access the GUI. This only started happening after the update....and i have to restarted 3 or 5 times to get into the GUI [02:56] how can i diagnose and fix this error [02:56] or do i keep using the older kernal? [02:56] Just my guess, but have you updated the video driver? [02:57] I might have i updated everything it wanted to update [02:57] Cederview i think is the driver that got updated [02:57] but i tried reinstalling it, it worked for a few boots and now its doing it again [02:57] Never heard of cederview. [02:57] its for an acer aspire one [02:58] one second let me go to the package manager [02:58] and tell u exatly [02:58] Intel Atom Processor? [02:58] yes [02:58] D250 ? [02:58] D270-1628 === Psil0cybin is now known as Psil0Cybin [02:58] cedarview-drm [02:59] i think was the package [02:59] If I remember correctly, in my Acer Aspire One (D250) it used an Intel based chipset for the video [02:59] soni1877, sorry, I missed that it was a usb device. We instead need to see "lsusb" (pastebin link again). Even better maybe if you post a detailed report following this post : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12350385 [02:59] To be honest i am not really sure :P I just know usually i allow every update, and nothing goes wrong, I am kinda new to Ubuntu thats why i want to learn how to diagnose it [02:59] but you think its the driver? [03:00] It's a possiblity [03:00] when you get access to the gui again, try checking with the Additionhal Drivers [03:00] Psil0Cybin, Is it nvidia and did you load it from them? [03:00] its Intel i belive wilee-nilee and im in the GUI now [03:00] thats how i got in to talk to you guys [03:00] Yea [03:00] I am pretty sure it's an intel based video chipset [03:01] I went to propietary drivers [03:01] i have both selected [03:01] drm driver for Intel GMA500 [03:01] and Intel Cedarview graphics driver [03:01] Only one should be activated [03:01] Try the GMA500 Driver [03:01] so take off Intel Cedarview Graphical Driver [03:01] ? [03:01] like remove it [03:01] ? [03:01] select the GMA500 Driver and click activate [03:01] it will deactivate the other [03:01] they are both activated [03:02] i only see [03:02] remove for both [03:02] then deselect the ceder one [03:02] err Select the ceder driver and click deactivate [03:02] and then restart the laptop, it should work fine after [03:02] Psil0Cybin, might be relevant. http://askubuntu.com/questions/290515/how-to-install-intel-cedarview-drivers-on-ubuntu-12-10-or-13-04 [03:02] okay :) thanks will try it now [03:02] Okay im going to book mark that site too :) incase that doesnt work [03:02] :D [03:03] let me try it and ill let you guys know [03:03] Hi, what is the proper syntax to add a whole subnet to a table using iproute? ip rule add 192.168.1.0/24 does not seem to work :) [03:03] i love this IRC channel :) the sexyest thing on the net [03:03] :D [03:03] used to use my acer aspire one for network drive bys [03:03] :D [03:04] hahaah thats what this one is for [03:04] i just love how small it is [03:04] Then my wife got ahold of it and burnt it out! [03:05] wonder why byobu reports my CPU as 2x0.7GHz at some points. === nimdAHK_ is now known as nimdAHK [03:07] * Taek afk mode [03:08] hello? [03:08] :) [03:09] Okay Taek when i deactivated the Intel Cedarview graphix it deactivated everything so I am reactivating the drm driver for the Intel GMA500 [03:16] Anyone in here familliar with qemu? I am getting terrible speeds on my windows guest and I assume it's due to the network settings in qemu. I havent changed anything fromt he default and although I get about 40Mbps upload on linux I get about 70Kbps on the windows guest [03:17] Why use qemu? [03:17] because the server is headless [03:17] Not that it really matters in your choice, jut curious. [03:17] and I was told it was the fastest [03:17] hey guys! I cant connect to a wpa wireless connection if there is any special caracther here, like é or ó. Do you know what can I do? [03:17] All my experiences with qemu have been horrible [03:17] the server is headless and qemu gives you a vnc server directly to control the VM with [03:17] it runs great aside from the network speed issue [03:18] is it running on a dedicated server? [03:19] FYI all my experiences with qemu have been on windows afaik. [03:21] hey everyone, I'm trying to connect here to a wireless wpa2 connection which the password has special characters like "é" but I'm not allowed to connect,. Do you know what can I do? [03:21] Change the wifi password? [03:22] I cant, its from my girlfriend's house, and her mate wont like it [03:22] sounds like you and the router are using different encodings [03:23] ^ [03:23] nimdAHK: maybe...do you know how can I figure it out? [03:23] First off, figure out what enconding you're using? [03:23] I believe most routers use UTF-8 . [03:23] try a different network manager too [03:24] Then again I am in U.S. so everything here is simplified. [03:24] nimdAHK: like which one? [03:24] gotta catch 'em all? [03:24] Taek: true [03:24] wicd maybe [03:24] nimdAHK: ok, I'll try! [03:24] nimdAHK: thanks [03:24] yw, good luck! [03:25] hi, i am trying to get my wifi to work on 12.04 [03:25] Network Adapter Chipset? [03:25] ristra: So what is the problem? [03:25] at some point, I think I messed up my /etc/network/interfaces file [03:25] Pastebin? [03:25] it doesn't have a wlan on it [03:25] okie, hold on, i ll pastebin it [03:26] ristra: iwconfig #What does that say? [03:26] No wLan? add it?. [03:26] usr13 it only list eth0 and lo [03:27] Is it a PCI(e) or USB Adapter ristra [03:27] What wifi device do you have? ( lspci ) [03:27] Taek, yeap that is the idea but since I am very new (i cant stress the @very@ enough!) I was wondering if it add it on a specific position or something [03:27] What brand is it ristra ? [03:27] so i have installed the lastest version of backports from here: http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ [03:27] toshiba satellite c855 [03:27] ristra: Wait, what does iwconfig say? iwconfig | pastebinit #Show us URL [03:28] and now my usb wireless chip wont work [03:28] ristra, pastebin the report generated by wireless_script : http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=12350385 === ken_ is now known as Guest58812 [03:28] http://pastebin.com/Fk1qLZzK here is my interfaces files [03:28] anyone have any ideas [03:28] that script will show almost everything (secure) wifi related. Everyone. [03:28] it is like ubuntu doesnt even see the usb wireless dongle [03:29] poz, do you have a wired connection now? [03:29] anybody able to help with some routing issues? trying to route three networks and running into an issue where i can only ping some things [03:29] i am using my laptops built in wireless card [03:30] the usb wireless card was working before i installed the backports [03:30] it is like the driver or somthing was over written and now it wont detect that it is plugged in [03:30] http://pastebin.com/NTfLdeFt has my interfaces file and the report from iwconfig [03:30] poz, we need to see "lsusb" and "nm-tool" output. [03:31] okay, one sec [03:31] first question i guess is : can i just add wlan to interfaces file? [03:31] ristra: lspci | pastebinit #send url [03:31] Hopefully LSUSB sees it and can give us a chipset O.o [03:32] usr13 here it is http://pastebin.com/XKiDSgm1 [03:32] the network controller is there [03:32] varunendra, here are the results of both commends: http://pastebin.com/1d97dT31 [03:33] Two wifi adapters [03:33] One Atheros and another Realtek [03:33] this seems to be the usb wireless dongle Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTL8192CU 802.11n WLAN Adapte [03:33] Need to run a special driver for it [03:34] well I consider it special; [03:34] I forgot what it was called, but you need to run the bcwrapper? [03:34] I think that's it [03:34] http://pastebin.com/e0xdrMM4 [03:34] oh wait, that's for broadcom [03:34] varunendra: http://pastebin.com/e0xdrMM4 [03:35] poz, you are using WPA/WPA2 mixed mode in the router. Not always a problem but more than often it is. Try changing it to pure WPA2-PSK (AES) only. No TKIP, no mixed mode. [03:35] ristra: 12.04? Fully updated? [03:36] usr13: it was a fresh install until I started trying to fix this issue [03:36] I tried several different solutions I found online [03:36] ristra: 12.04 Desktop? Is it fully updated? [03:36] varunendra, this problem is independent of the router [03:36] and I just run the updater so yet, fully updated [03:36] i can not get ubuntu to detect my usb wireless card [03:36] 280+ updated modules [03:36] ristra: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade [03:37] ok, i ll run that, hold on [03:37] and thanks by the way :) [03:38] all is upgraded [03:38] hey guys I'm trying to connect to my girlfriend's wireless network, but I can't! First I thought it was because the password had special characters, but its not. And the funniest part is that windows can connect!!! [03:38] soni1877, try - "sudo modprobe -rfv rtl8192cu" ..... then ......... "sudo modprobe -v rtl8192cu swenc=Y" . See if it improves the connectivity. [03:38] do you know what can I do?

I cant figure it out [03:46] deezed: scratch the - just iwlist wifi-device-name scan [03:46] shouldn't it be iwlist wifi-ssid scan? [03:47] deezed: first do iwconfig and tell us what it says. [03:47] usr13: ok, so now what do I do? [03:47] the access point is not-associated [03:47] deezed: Open a terminal and type iwconfig and hit enter [03:47] I think I broke my kernel.

[03:48] usr13: "casa do caralho" [03:49] it use to be my usb wireless dongle, but after I installed backports from here http://drvbp1.linux-foundation.org/~mcgrof/rel-html/backports/ it stoped working [03:49] deezed: iwconfig wlan0 essid "casa do caralho" [03:49] deezed: sudo iwconfig wlan0 essid "casa do caralho" [03:50] usr13: ok [03:50] now what?

[03:54] Moonlightning, Ah generally not needed, however the ubuntu-tweak app has a janitor app that will clean up the extra kernels and other stuff. [03:55] Moonlightning, Ubuntu tweak is in a PPA. [03:55] Old kernels should be removable with apt-get auto-remove [03:55] apt-get autoremove [03:55] Not rue but can be done from the cli [03:55] true* [03:55] I did autoremove [03:55] It didn't remove any of the kernels :( [03:56] You can try with Ubuntu Tweak as wilee-nilee suggested. [03:56] I only have a CLI though [03:56] Moonlightning, If you want a nice gui use the tweak, can be done from the terminal or synaptic as well. [03:57] the tweak gets the configs as well, nice little app really [03:57] What's the name of the package? [03:57] ubuntu tweak it is in a ppa [03:58] http://ubuntu-tweak.com/ Or you can download the deb [03:59] here is the ppa be sure to load the key use the read about installing to get the key with the load. [03:59] https://launchpad.net/~tualatrix/+archive/ppa [03:59] Agh [03:59] Can't I just do it with apt-get? >.< [03:59] Manually delete it okay :D [04:00] Moonlightning, After loading the resorce yes, it is not in the ubuntu repos [04:00] After what? [04:00] real simple question, say i downloaded a driver and there is a install.sh file... how do i use this to install the driver? [04:00] you add the ppa [04:00] Taek: yeah, looks like I"m gonna be doing that [04:00] poz sudo ./file.sh [04:01] or sudo file.sh [04:01] one of those [04:01] hi [04:01] well i tryed sudo install.sh [04:01] did not work [04:01] then try sudo ./install.sh [04:01] Grrrrrrrrr. If I just `sudo apt-get remove` everything except the latest two kernels, I should be fine, right? [04:01] if neither, sudo sh install.sh [04:02] sudo ./install.sh [04:02] sudo: ./install.sh: command not found [04:02] sudo sh install.sh worked [04:02] thank you [04:02] lol [04:02] you probably needed to do "chmod +x ./install.sh" [04:03] black screen when booting into ubuntu first time... after choosing the os at the blu startup screen [04:03] Moonlightning, dpkg -l | grep linux-image to see kernels then sudo apt-get purge [04:03] `sudo apt-get purge` all but the latest two kernels? [04:03] be careful is all I will say [04:03] I was trying, but I kinda don't have time to muck around with PPAs x.x [04:03] most keep two sets yeah [04:04] Moonlightning, The ppa would be one command to load a update and install run the app and all done. [04:04] Can I get a copypastable command, or [04:04] install ultrastar deluxe in ubuntu 13.4 [04:05] ...ooookay, manually `apt-get purge`ing kernels, here I go. [04:05] !details | tux1000 [04:06] tux1000: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:06] In that order?!?!? [04:06] Oh man , I think I did it wrong [04:07] i am running Ubuntu 13.4 of 64 bits [04:07] mine was issue @CLRF distro ## [04:07] hello everyone [04:07] `Elloo [04:07] tux1000, took me 3 seconds to find this. http://askubuntu.com/questions/286583/how-can-i-install-ultrastar-deluxe-in-ubuntu-13-04 [04:08] never heard of the game [04:08] Should be installing steam instead [04:08] I got warnings about broken symlinks under /boot [04:09] symlinks is link files [04:09] similar to shortcuts in windows [04:09] I know what a symlink is. XD [04:09] anyone know how to get ubuntu to recognize a wireless usb dongle? [04:09] :D [04:09] this is the problem, it is not repository, the repository not official is for 12.10 and 12.4 [04:09] poz I believe someone answered you already. [04:10] Is there a command I can run to check if the system is bootable as it is now? [04:10] I'm kinda scared to shut down. XD [04:10] it has not solved my problem [04:10] You ran the cmdline code the person gave you about 5/10 mins ago? [04:11] I believe it was to install a driver. [04:11] cmdline? [04:11] I'm trying to modify a program's icon in the notification area of GNOME Classic panel. I tried altering /usr/share/icons but to no avail... somebody told me that the icon reference is in /usr/share/applications/ but what I'm finding there is icon= but not a path to where the icon file is... any help is appreciated [04:11] the install.sh thing? [04:11] poz, when you post something are are talking with someone use their nick, you had a pro helper got as far as posting their script but did n ot direct it at them with their nick. [04:11] No. poz [04:11] i installed the driver from the manufactuing website, but the wireless usb dongle still does not work [04:12] anonee: did you look in /usr/share/applications for the icon itself that was listed in the file? [04:12] !who | poz [04:12] poz: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [04:12] i understand [04:12] [open query] Is there a command I can run to check if the system is bootable as it is now? [04:12] taek, maybe i missed it as I was restarting my computer [04:13] Taek I don't understand, you mean the .desktop file contains an icon?! [04:13] poz, Cool we want you to succeed. ;) [04:13] you said there was a file you looked into in /usr/share/applications/ [04:13] anonee* [04:14] anonee: did you happen to look for the icon file in the same folder with the file you retrieved the icon name from [04:16] Moonlightning, run sudo update-grub [04:16] Taek /usr/share/applications contains .desktop files, they contain something like this: [04:16] whats the general ubuntu chat name? === jrgill is now known as jrgill2 [04:16] wilee-nilee: I don't have grub [04:16] Taek Exec=tomboy --search [04:16] Icon=tomboy [04:16] StartupNotify=true [04:16] Terminal=false [04:16] anonee: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [04:16] I have yaboot; grub doesn't support ppc x.x [04:16] Moonlightning, Is this a wubi install? [04:16] wilee-nilee: No, it's a standard Ubuntu Server installation [04:17] anonee: I am aware of what's in there [04:17] do you know the location of the icon you want to use? [04:17] Moonlightning, Never heard of yaboot, there must be a autoload or file to check the boot. [04:17] Taek that was just an example, there's still more 9 lines... [04:17] argh [04:18] Moonlightning, Your answers are probably here. http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/inst/yaboot-howto/ [04:18] anonee: did you logout/in after making your icon change? [04:18] Oh sorry Taek, then what do you suggest? it says: icon=tomboy but where is tomboy?! [04:18] im trying to copy one large dir + sub dirs to another, but I don't want to overwrite existing files only copy the new ones, will cp -rvn do that ? [04:19] Taek no actually, and sorry, I'll try and let u know if any [04:19] Okay :D [04:19] thank you Taek [04:20] I don't suppose anyone here has a tutorial on how to create a package like flashplugin-installer or oracle-java7-installer, one that just downloads something and installes it for you? [04:20] [open query] Isn't there just some apt-get command to redo all the...whatever it normally does when you install|remove kernels? [04:21] Moonlightning: I believe not. [04:21] Aaaaargh. [04:21] I could be wrong, but I am pretty certain there isn't. [04:21] * Moonlightning installs an older kernel then. >.< [04:21] what does portupgrade -a do ? [04:22] portupgrade --? [04:22] portupgrade -? [04:22] portupgrade --help [04:22] try those [04:22] or man portupgrade :P [04:22] that too [04:23] thought that would be too much for him/her, ntzrmtthihu777 [04:24] lol, I say jump in both feet first XD [04:24] and hurt your jewels? [04:24] (for a guy that is) [04:25] * Taek <- guy [04:25] lol XD [04:25] Taek, This is a family channel. [04:25] why does cp -rvn /dir /newdir -- clobber stuff I thought it wasn't supposed to [04:25] is there something similar to /timer command (hexchat) that I can use in the command line? [04:26] basically, something that will execute a command after an amount of time [04:26] DarkAceLaptop, There is #xchat for help as well, I use hexcaht same basic apps. [04:27] DarkAceLaptop: Have you tried "Sleep(600)" or "Sleep 600" [04:27] Taek I just did, no joy. I expected this cuz I restarted the program before. [04:27] hmm [04:27] Pretty common using sleep [04:27] DarkAceLaptop, Can you be specific, that is a vague decription at least to me. [04:27] anonee: did you modify the icon in /usr/share/icons/default/ ? [04:28] or in just a random folder? [04:28] a like refrence only means something to someone who knows what you are talking about. [04:28] welp [04:28] ah, thanks Taek [04:28] If it comes down to it, I should be able to boot using this old kernel [04:28] wilee-nilee, sleep is just what I was looking for [04:28] rebooting now, wish me luck :P [04:28] ah cool [04:28] Moonlightning: G/L [04:29] DarkAceLaptop: It's a pretty common command in alot of scripting languages [04:29] so no-one knows about that? [04:29] Taek no! I did a search for the program name and there were icons only in the hicolor theme, although I'm not using this theme, but these were the icons that I modified! but I'll check now. [04:29] ntzrmtthihu777, Not really needed in linux per-say [04:30] plenty of package types and loaders already [04:30] wilee-nilee: I'm doing this for the non-techs, lol. [04:30] DarkAceLaptop: FYI sleep in most scripting languages pauses the script for the given amount of time specified prior to continuing on [04:31] yeah, so 'sleep 500; command' [04:31] ntzrmtthihu777, Ah, adding to the confusion, you go then. ;) [04:31] DarkAceLaptop: 500 devided by 60 [04:31] Should tell you how long it will pause for in seconds [04:31] is there a way of asking a program to exit, or is that what kill does? [04:32] EXIT 0 [04:32] in most cases DarkAceLaptop === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [04:32] EXIT or EXIT 0 [04:32] DarkAceLaptop: theres one that can kill apps after memory limit too [04:32] depends on the language you're scripting in [04:32] forget its name [04:32] as in, a command via terminal [04:32] Taek guess what! the default directory only contains index.theme and it says inherit=DMZ-White and DMZ-White has only cursors. how can you explain that?! [04:32] trying to copy files without overwriting but cp -rvn is overwriting... any ideas ? [04:32] Pepperonipizza: cp -rvnc? [04:33] ntzrmtthihu777: whats c ? [04:33] anonee: Not a clue, dpn' [04:33] don't think I could explain even if I knew haha [04:33] i don't see a c in the manpage [04:33] Pepperonipizza: you might be using a wrong switch [04:33] wilee-nilee: lol, just want something simple for the minecraft modders on linux so they can install techne without pulling their hair out :P [04:34] techne? [04:34] Taek: well -n is no clobber = no overwrite I though [04:34] ntzrmtthihu777, I understand. [04:35] wilee-nilee: I got it working manually, but not everyone using linux is that techie :P [04:35] Pepperonipizza: try with -i instead of in [04:35] -n * [04:35] see if will work with interactive overwrite requests [04:35] in dd command the base size is refers to page size in memory of the block to be written on harddisk ? [04:36] Taek: if I have to answer every time its gonna take a week its like 400gb of files [04:36] ntzrmtthihu777, I could not code my way out of a thin paper bag, and an armchair user, just a bit obsessed is all. ;) [04:36] Pepperonipizza: try with a compule of files [04:36] not all === onder`_ is now known as onder` [04:36] Pepperonipizza, take a look at rsync (man rsync). [04:36] Taek: yes its asking [04:37] Pepperonipizza: you are correct though -n is supposed to not allow overwriting [04:38] varunendra: ok so rsync -rv -- but what switch is like -n on cp ? [04:38] ---ignore-existing [04:38] k [04:38] Pepperonipizza: maybe -u ? it only copies when the new file is newer than the destination [04:39] Pepperonipizza, I haven't used it via command line myself, just read about it sometimes. [04:40] seems like neithero ne works [04:40] wtf [04:40] need some newbie help, can any one be of service? [04:40] !ask | aoglobalent [04:40] aoglobalent: 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 [04:41] !language > Pepperonipizza [04:41] Pepperonipizza, please see my private message [04:41] oh grow up dude [04:41] honestly you fucking troll [04:42] Pepperonipizza: i do appreciate your help here, but you cant use that language here, please [04:42] o.k., I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu's latest version. I have not used Linux in apx 4 years, so I am very "green" to this all. I am installing catalyst for my 7990's. It is taking a bit, but needless to say it is workjing thus far... That being said what I need to know is how to access my repositories? [04:42] varunendra: ntzrmtthihu777 itseems like using both -u and --ignore-existing is working [04:43] aoglobalent: what repositories do you have? [04:43] aoglobalent: repositories for what? [04:43] aoglobalent, name the actual install, what are your repositories. [04:43] aoglobalent: ppa's? [04:43] Ubuntu Software Center if you need to look for something aoglobalent. [04:43] how can I login to a mounted linux volume? I have a /mnt/wontBoot filesystem with a broken image and I want to login as root and fix it [04:43] ahhh [04:44] ok [04:44] Taek could the icon be inside the application like in windows? [04:44] happyface: i usually just hit it with a live CD [04:44] happyface: chroot ? [04:44] Pepperonipizza: yeah chroot, that's it! thanks [04:44] anonee: Not all icons are inside their applications in windows. but there is a possiblity. [04:44] !chroot [04:44] A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [04:44] I am running a dual core because this is a mining Rig and needless to say, I needed to run one Linux box for various reasons.. That being said, can I find CGMiner in the repos? [04:44] happyface: np ;-D [04:45] aoglobalent: most things like that are not in the Official Ubuntu Repos, but you can look to see [04:45] I believe that is why it is taking so long for these ATI drivers to be installed... I mean this thing has been going for about 20 minutes now :/ [04:45] got yah [04:46] Taek, thanks allot for the help :) [04:46] aoglobalent: 7990's in linux, what for lol? [04:46] aoglobalent, It is in the saucy universe [04:46] aoglobalent: I just did a search, CGMiner is not there - you'll probably have to compile it from source [04:46] Mining [04:46] ahh. [04:46] Crypto Coin Mining [04:46] I thought mining wasn't really profitable anymore [04:46] https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cgminer/3.3.1-1 [04:47] Okay so what's with the 4 days thing on Ubuntu's homepage? [04:47] hey. I am trying to do something like: ssh host "do smth | awk '{print $1}' " and it does not work. AWK part does not seem so process output of smth and print only first column. Instead I get full output. Can someone explain why? [04:47] Oh, it's in the extras.. [04:47] well, that is what they say, but I say dif.... [04:47] I am not even fully operations yet, and I am mining Coins no problem... [04:47] The problem has become the Asic Miners Really [04:47] They have taken the difficulty levels through the roof [04:48] but there are alt Coin's, etc.... [04:48] Asic?. [04:48] YUP [04:48] alex_, HOw about a link to it or some details. [04:48] they are a type of Mining Chip [04:48] I am not to clear on the whole story to be honest, but essentialy there are new mining machines that do 10x more than GPU's with 10X less power consumption [04:49] wilee-nilee: http://www.ubuntu.com/ [04:49] ntiy I don't think you can run a command on the same line as ssh host directly [04:49] The Power consumption on these baby's ios the problem.... [04:49] Hello, how do I check what new version of the update is available for a package? [04:49] if I had 7990's i'd game on them haha. [04:49] viju: update manager. [04:49] alex_, they might know better in #ubuntu-touch [04:50] Taek: you definitely can do ssh host 'hostname' [04:50] I didn't say you couldn't ntiy [04:50] Taek: what did you mean then? [04:50] ntiy: I don't believe you can run a command in the same line with the ssh host command [04:51] Taek: I am looking for thunderbird update, in update manager there's nohing is listed about Thunderbird [04:51] Basically what you are doing is running two commands in the same line [04:51] viju http://www.mozzila.com/thunderbird [04:51] should do it [04:51] am I not running one command on a remote host? [04:51] mis-spelling lol [04:52] viju: sorry about that link - correctly -> http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/ [04:52] viju, Wot does not like that link, what thnderbird do you ahve and what do you want. [04:53] second link is okay, not sure why one would not use the repos. [04:53] Why is it everytime I stand up - my wife's cat runs for dear life! [04:53] wilee-nilee: the person wishes to check version [04:54] I was just trying to update my Ubuntu to 12.04 and I got an error saying it could not import a module during Installing the uprades part of the download [04:54] Taek, The repos have the same versions in 24 hrs or less. [04:54] steve__: to which version are you updating? [04:54] I'll check that Taek . wilee-nilee my msn mails are not being fetched since april but it used to work pulling out some data, so when I check out that it's downloading same old mails from the past and now I have lots of duplicates. Someone suggested downloading a newer version should help solve the problem. [04:54] I rebooted it and got stuck at a command line that say (initramfs) [04:55] Taek: 12.04 [04:55] steve__: from 12.04 to which? [04:55] also says BusyBox v1. 13.3 [04:55] viju, What doe the help in yuour thunderbird show as a version? [04:56] Taek no from 10 to 12 [04:56] Weird, I just did it couple of days ago without issue [04:56] from 1.04.4 to 12.04 [04:56] 10.04.4 to 12.04 [04:56] yep [04:56] how did you initiate the upgrade? [04:57] wilee-nilee: 17.0.6 [04:57] USB [04:57] Hmm [04:57] I installed it onto the ram first [04:57] Somehow somewhere it's possible that the USB drive got disconnected. [04:57] viju, Only thing newer is 17.0.7, I doubt the problem is a upgrade needed, have you asked in ##windows as far as any changes to MSN. [04:58] there is my answer if anyone is wondering: ssh host "do smth | awk '{print \$1}' " [04:58] thanks all [04:58] then installed 10.04.4 onto the system successfully then just tried to upgrade [04:58] ntiy: :D [04:58] !eol | steve__ look at eol upgrades [04:58] steve__ look at eol upgrades: 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 [04:58] steve__: sorry I don't have any idea how to possibly help [04:59] wilee-nilee: I am doing it now [04:59] steve__, This is a desktop right? [04:59] Usually if something like that happens to me, I just download the latest distro or the one I want and install fresh [04:59] wilee: yep [04:59] viju, Cool I see you there. [04:59] I'm just going to uimage another USB stick [05:00] and try it again [05:00] steve__, Cool the dektop is eol, the server is not, just wanted to be sure we were on the same page. [05:00] 10.04.4 is EOL.. [05:00] steve__, What is the problem with a 12.04 install? [05:00] =)) just noticed a hickup in my idea ... i need to apply a bios upgrade to a laptop that cant boot to usb devices (flash drive or cdrw/dvdrw) .. was going to use my old portable A:Drive (3x5 disc) [05:00] but that is USB too [05:00] wilee-nilee: his upgrade failed hard during install of one of the packages [05:00] Taek, The server is not though [05:00] =)) [05:01] if you are on Ubuntu, and you have Ruby 1.9 installed and you want 2.0, can you apt-get update ruby, or remove ruby and then specifically install 2.0? [05:01] wilee-nilee: that's weird, repos are missing for me! [05:01] wilee: it got an error while in dkconf [05:01] let me check something [05:01] steve__, On the 12.04 install? [05:01] wilee: during the upragding stage of the installation [05:02] yes [05:02] steve__, So why not just install 12.04? [05:02] what the!!!.. now I can't login.. permission denied (pubkey) [05:02] I was trying to install 12.04 [05:02] and what happened? [05:02] sometimes i find a "fresh install" is better [05:03] Why would I get a permissions died (pubkey) [05:03] when attempting to ssh [05:03] Unless.. my pub keys didn't stay! [05:04] during the installation it got an error in the usr/bin file while setting up dkconf [05:04] steve__, Did you check the sum of the ISO? === joshua__ is now known as lightrain [05:04] wilee: no [05:05] I am using the AMD driver, should I be blacklisting the open source driver? [05:05] steve__, It is rather unusual for it to just error out in a install, going to a eol to upgrade is a bad idea, use the mini netload maybe. [05:06] or check the sum and or download 12.04 again in the torrent maybe. [05:09] I have lost my ubuntu password. I tried resetting the password from recovery mode. Still it throws up an error and im stuck [05:09] oh my bad wilee-nilee seems I am running 11.04 not 10.04.4 [05:10] I have lost my ubuntu password. I tried resetting the password from recovery mode. [05:11] Taek, Heh, it happens, check the eol upgrades if you mve up. [05:11] move* [05:11] anyone has any solution? [05:11] 12.04 is like 2016 or 2017. [05:11] vigoos, what link did you use to try the recovery? === ubuntu is now known as Guest16613 [05:12] vigoos, And what happened. [05:12] http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/linux/reset-your-forgotten-ubuntu-password-in-2-minutes-or-less/ [05:12] it threw up an error saying password unchanged [05:12] i'll be already with 12.04 until year 2017 [05:13] So, is UEFI pretty much the death sentence for dual booting that it seems to be? [05:13] Or rather SecureBoot? [05:13] Hi [05:14] !uefi | tracekill [05:14] tracekill: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [05:14] vigoos, Have you set a root password, besides having the user password? [05:14] Hi [05:15] hmm I forgot how to do multiple irc servers with irssi :( [05:16] Taek: you could just use multiple tabs [05:16] tracekill, Many dualboot with the safeboot, it is just a learning exspeience for some I think. [05:17] tracekill, here is more info that is probably helpful. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 [05:17] Yeah, I literally just now got it (somewhat) working on my Acer M5-583P-6428. Is there somewhere I can put the caveats I ran into? [05:18] tracekill, YOu could add them to that thread I posted for the author to look at. [05:18] Not sure its open is all [05:18] Whoia Just got an error about lssb_re;ease [05:19] lsb_release [05:20] What would cause this: lsb_release crashed with IOError in getstatusoutput(); [Errno 10] No child Processes [05:21] Taek: isn't it lsb_release -a [05:21] I dunno [05:21] Ubuntu error window [05:22] "Sorry, Ubuntu 12.04 has experienced and internal error." [05:22] one of those windows [05:23] upgrade did horrible from 10.04.4 to 12.04 [05:24] anyone knows how to reset the password from grub? [05:24] man I might just go streight to 13.04 at this time [05:24] I am scared [05:25] I had no mouse after installing nvidia drivers so i did modprobe psmouse proto=imps and it came back but now I realize that even under settings it appears that I can't adjust the sensitivity of it (it's extremely slow) and i'm wondering how to get my mouse back permanently and change the senstivity? === steve__ is now known as Dragon2 [05:25] pretty please === andrex is now known as andrex|off === andrex|off is now known as andrex [05:27] that reminds me .. i just (never saw/messed with it before) saw gfxboot (have to find what that does and how to use it ... ) as well as (i think i have this right) grub-image (to boot ISO's?) [05:27] just noticed that in the description [05:28] sodacrunch, Some general info. http://askubuntu.com/questions/261329/package-for-ruby-2-0-on-precise [05:29] xmetal, You can boot ISO dfrom grub on a install, and there are handfuls of usb loaders many of which allow multiple ISO's [05:30] I wonder, that person that wanted to make a deb for minecraft, why he/she just not make a install.run script [05:32] seemed like an imagined need anyway, learning the ways everyone uses seems like more functional learning situation === onder`_ is now known as onder` [05:34] how do I check if my catlayst - sti drivers are installed? [05:34] well, an install.run script is just basically a sh script with binary data attached to it (file.tar.gz) and can be adapted to different distros and version between them [05:34] I just went to the ATI site and downloaded the drivers [05:35] I walked away from my comp and it froze my screen and am not sure if my drivers finished installing [05:35] HOW can I check? [05:35] hmm I don't know that answer aoglobalent [05:35] maybe wilee-nilee ?? [05:36] Taek, I get some 3rd parties that are sh scripts yeah no biggie to install. [05:37] Honestly I suspect the gamers need another type of help, lol [05:37] * wilee-nilee ducks [05:37] thanks wilee-nilee [05:37] * sodacrunch sighs [05:38] sodacrunch, seems to be a time to yell at the ruby developers. [05:38] wilee-nilee: hmmm true [05:41] aoglobalent: you could try this [05:41] egrep -i " connected|card detect|primary dev" /var/log/Xorg.0.log [05:41] hi [05:43] does anyone know if I make a partition using parted on linux w/ type ufs is it ufs or ufs2 ? [05:45] aoglobalent: you can try installing sysinfo and see if that tells you want's going on [05:50] goo [05:50] goodnight friends [05:58] <3 AMD [05:58] they make drivers for linux unlike that of intel [05:58] err nvidia [06:01] ##xbox [06:12] I've never had a problem with any Intel graphics I have ever used, even the old ones. [06:13] i have kernel panics 1) randomly when booting, 2) often when my CPU is at full load, on xubuntu 13.04 [06:13] i heard 3.8.0-19 kernel was problematic, is this true? [06:13] but i usually don't crash at idle [06:13] Calinou, you should have 3.8.0.26 [06:14] i'll hope for the update manager to not fuck up my PPA-provided nvidia driver then [06:14] !language [06:14] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [06:14] sorry [06:15] I'm having choppy then failing sound with wine on 12.04. PulseAudio works fine for everything else. It's just sound on wine.

[06:22] (but I never had it on booting) [06:22] also read somewhere ubuntu hates SSDs [06:22] Calinou: ok, that's just wrong [06:22] and that's why I crash sometimes on boot [06:22] nope [06:23] there is zero chance of that being the case [06:23] i read the 3.8.0-19 kernel was panicky [06:23] nope [06:23] you seem to be reading a lot of random made up information [06:24] it's not overheating, my CPU hardly hits 55°C at load [06:24] same for graphics card [06:24] always good to know and check === jack is now known as Guest71263 === Guest71263 is now known as jack_2 === 65MAANWI2 is now known as tvoss === jack_ is now known as jack1 [06:38] Calinou, Sounds like you might develop a critical thinking process, double check what you read, I run ubuntu on a SSD with o problems. [06:39] i'm not asking for ops dissing me here 8) [06:40] Calinou, Nobodies dissing you that critical thinking is what you learn in academia. [06:40] did not mean to anyway. ;) [06:41] custom minecaft launcher yay [06:43] avoid from using them, especially if they're not open source [06:43] Calinou: are you talking to me? [06:44] yes [06:45] Laucnher command? not sure what to call it [06:45] Shortcut to launch it? [06:46] Application Launcher === taek is now known as Taek [06:47] since in my ubuntu enviornment, while click on the Minecraft.jar - it opens in Archive pogram === dominic_ is now known as mdih [06:47] Is there any reson to fear Ubuntu, is the Canonical dev team safe? what if they dont like us or get mad at us? thats kinda scary to think about. [06:47] make a .sh that uses java -Xms1G -jar minecraft.jar [06:47] so instead of having to open terminal and continue to use it to play, I made a app launcher [06:47] mohawk: they are safe [06:48] and if you're using steam or a proprietary driver right now, you're being hypocritic 8) [06:48] what ? [06:48] people complain about ubuntu, and they use tons of proprietary stuff. [06:48] once i even saw people using skype [06:48] I have an actual icon to click on the side to launch minecraft, Calinou [06:49] it's just a .sh script or a .desktop file [06:49] Calinou: his question has NOTHING to do with propritary software, you appear to have real issues reading information given to you [06:49] no i'm relating both [06:50] Calinou: this is nothing to do with propitary software, please help people with the questions they ask, not your weak attempts to be negative about things [06:50] ikonia: I wasn't asking a question haha [06:50] Taek: who said you where ? [06:50] Just stating. [06:50] thanks for that random bit of info [06:51] does anyone have any idea why does my problem occur? [06:51] Calinou: what have you done to investigate it ? [06:52] tried with several RAMs already, tried resetting BIOS settings [06:52] that is just random [06:52] what have you actually done to investigate it [06:52] What's your issue Calinou ? [06:52] trol [06:53] kernel panics (or freeze + reboot) when I use 100% CPU, or sometimes when booting or logging in [06:53] what do you mean by "actually done to investigate it"? [06:53] ANd you are certain this is caused by ram?. [06:53] Calinou: well, what have you done to look at the problem / diagnose it, find a pattern/rule out a pattern [06:53] no? i'm actually thinking it's a software issue [06:54] Calinou: the odds are it is a software issue [06:54] i get this problem since i built my PC in march [06:54] its caused by cat fur in the cpu fan [06:54] Alegreya: stop it now [06:54] no, i even changed the thermal paste recently, to no avail [06:54] Alegreya: help with real help, or be quiet [06:54] Calinou: have you attempted to try with an alternate OS, windows perhaps? [06:54] Calinou: ok, so lets look at it a bit logically [06:54] Calinou: what's your current OS ? [06:54] xubuntu 13.04 64 bit [06:55] Calinou: ok, you said you built this PC in march correct ? [06:55] yes [06:55] Hey all, I recently did "sudo apt-get remove compiz" by accident. What should I do? [06:55] Calinou: has ubuntu 13.04 always been the OS on it (doubtful as 04 is after march) [06:55] used to use xubuntu 12.10 64 bit on it [06:55] afflicto: install it again? [06:55] afflicto_: re-install it ? [06:55] Calinou: ok, in the short time you used 12.10 - did you have this problem ? [06:55] accident... [06:56] IIRC, only when 100% CPU is used, not when booting [06:56] You don't accidently remove compiz in terminal.. [06:56] Calinou: ok, so there is still a panic though, so for at least one root cause, you can stop thinking abou things like kernel as they are different between the two versions [06:56] I was gonna remove copmiz-settings-manager thing xD [06:56] agreed ? [06:56] ikonia: Agreed. [06:57] Taek: ok, so the first thing I heard early was "disable all my PPA's" [06:57] Taek: oops, sorry not you [06:57] HAHAH [06:57] Calinou: the first thing I heard earlier is "disable all my PPA's" [06:58] Calinou: PPA's are not supported/maintained by the ubuntu core dev team, and often are just terrible software, [06:58] relevant: http://forum.ubuntu-fr.org/viewtopic.php?id=1286311 (french) [06:58] Hey guys! I'd like to install a linux-based OS on a piece of hardware that I have here.. It's a JayBook 9901 (one of those tiny chinese netbooks) and it has a VIA M8505 processor, which is ARM-based. How do I find out which debian image I should download? [06:58] ikonia: nvidia-319 isn't available in official ubuntu repos [06:58] Calinou: to work this through, (you'll hate this) I suggest a CLEAN 13.04 install, with no PPA's installed at all, no 3rd party [06:58] Calinou: ahhhh and it's abinary kernel module [06:58] Calinou: I think we see a nice suspect [06:59] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1169984 [06:59] Ubuntu bug 1169984 in Ubuntu Desktop Tests "3.8.0-18 HDMI/DisplayPort audio regression: Either oops or opening device fails with -ENODEV" [Undecided,New] [06:59] Calinou: I suggest a clean install with NO PPA's installed, run it with the vesa xorg driver and monitor it to see if you get the panics under load [06:59] Calinou: are you having that bug / error ? [06:59] I would also like to add, if the issues continues try a something such as windows or perhaps debian. [06:59] likely [07:00] I see that snd_hda thingy [07:00] Calinou: no, are you getting it, yes/no [07:00] To see if the High CPU issue continues [07:00] Calinou: that's a sound card module unloading, that means nothing [07:00] I am seeing it [07:00] Calinou: sorry, you appear to be approaching this randomly rather than actually analysing your problem [07:01] can't help while you just guess at things and try to link them to random bugs [07:01] we've already shown with 12.10 it's not the kernel at this root cause, and you agreed, yet your linking to kernel bugs [07:01] can't be bothered wasting more time on this, [07:02] didn't have it at booting, just when CPU is at load [07:03] Calinou: you still had a kernel panic, you've got to address one at a time [07:03] rather than scatter gun [07:04] mohawk, as long as they don't load spyware by default on the main distro, I think the Ubuntu team may be ok. As soon as someone sees some kind of spyware though, who knows. [07:04] oh wait... [07:06] Is there any reson to fear Ubuntu, is the Canonical dev team safe? what if they dont like us or get mad at us? thats kinda scary to think about.his ip address. i am stupid and have no defense for high technology attacks. [07:06] neither nouveau nor vesa are solutions to me, too [07:06] mohawk: you've already asked that [07:06] mohawk: you've already been told "no reason to fear, use it. If you don't trust them, don't use it" [07:06] Calinou: what do you mean "solutions" [07:06] mohawk: you crazy man, should you fear the electric companies? gas? ISPs? banks? [07:06] drivers which provide what my card can provide [07:07] feever: no I meant that my cousin is mentally ill and rants on irc with my computer and didnt want to make the dev team mad at my ip address because i have no way to deal with high technology [07:07] Calinou: it is "trouble shooting", to find the problem [07:07] mohawk: then they will ban you and not care unless you forcibly removed the ban [07:07] mohawk, http://www.pcworld.com/article/2013315/ubuntu-linuxs-amazon-integration-gets-a-thumbs-down-from-the-eff.html [07:07] Calinou: sorry, can't help you, you don't to listen, you can't approach this logically, and you've already made up your mind [07:08] bye anyway, for now [07:08] also, i am listening [07:10] Realy big trouble ! i cant use apt-get remove coz it fails [07:10] Frank81: you'll need to explain clearer than that if you want help [07:10] Frank81: the answer with the same ammount of detail is "fix it" [07:10] Frank81: post the exact message here if it fits on one line, if not pastebin [07:12] http://pastebin.de/35412 [07:13] since i am not sure what the exact fail is :d there are many [07:13] but it would be enought to get that out of the package management so that i can reinstall it [07:13] Frank81: are you using "sudo apt-get remove" ? [07:13] i did a fail and added a deb wezzy repo [07:14] ya i use sudo taek [07:14] but i can do a sudo su - [07:14] when you think it helps [07:14] Have you tried with "sudo apt-get purge package-name" [07:14] Frank81: never mix debian repos with ubuntus, things will break badly [07:15] ^ [07:15] auronand good point [07:15] oh i am so tiered :( [07:15] why is it so hard to get a fast webserver running [07:16] Frank81: try nginx?

When I start a gnome-terminal, open a new tab and then switch workspace, the gnome-terminal window is moved to my primary screen (remaining in the same workspace).

Its very quiet(already checked alsamixer etc..) and i get small random soundfragments (clicking,shirping etc.). Ive a similar problem with windows, if i use the build in drivers. I guess the linux driver has a similar bug :/ [07:30] does tefanclub ubuntu installer work here [07:31] http://www.thefanclub.co.za/how-to/ubuntu-amd-catalyst-install [07:32] does that work on 12.04 [07:32] and will it work for me i need somthing simple [07:32] its not officially supported do we dont know [07:33] the addational-driver tool is the standard way [07:33] yea but i am not geting the latest drivers [07:33] kidx you can grab the Official driver from amd directly, I've just done it myself not to long ago [07:33] !latest [07:33] Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest.

[07:33] it will work for steam and stuff there [07:34] what i get the beta [07:34] I was just playing TF2 about 10/15 minutes ago kidx [07:34] yea what drivers [07:34] using the latest beta driver for my setup [07:34] beta or no [07:34] ok [07:34] ill dl beta from amd [07:35] Please make sure to obtain the latest official driver from amd for your hardware. [07:35] Once you download it chmod +x file.run [07:35] double click on the file and select run in terminal [07:36] i am getting beta 13.6 is this correct [07:36] depends on your device kidz [07:37] is it a desktop or laptop kidx [07:37] kidx: why are you not using the versions provided by ubuntus package manager ? [07:38] casue it not updating correctly [07:38] updating what ? [07:38] and i was told to go to amd site to get the updated one [07:39] my drivers [07:39] kidx: why ? [07:39] what's wrong with the version in the ubuntu packages ? === Red-Sox is now known as Red-Sox[away] [07:39] i am just gon install it form amd [07:39] why ? [07:39] it has more risk/maintenance [07:39] i just told you the additional driver manager is not updatig my drivers to the laters grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr [07:39] Well for me ikonia, there's four options in the additional driver app, and neither one stats which version they are. [07:40] kidx: why do you want the latest ? [07:40] kidx: what's wrong with the version in the repo [07:40] Outdated maybe? [07:40] casue steam is asking for it [07:40] lol [07:40] keeps asking to update [07:40] outdated ?? what does that even mean [07:40] ask steam [07:40] kidx: what is steam asking for exactly [07:41] asking to update the video card driver. [07:41] to update my graphic drivers [07:41] lol [07:41] I just went thjrough it myself [07:41] some water to create steam? [07:41] kidx: does it say a specific version, or does it say there is a problem ? [07:41] i am getting the amd driver from the site [07:41] It states a speciofic version [07:41] Equinox3: not helpful [07:41] Taek: is that version later than the version ubuntu packages provide [07:41] why cant i just get beta 13.6 [07:42] kidx: what's stopping you ? [07:42] how do i check [07:42] check what ? [07:42] how can i boot ubuntu install from iso in windows 7??? [07:42] I never checked the package manager, just used the additional driver app [07:42] kidx, where did you install steam from [07:42] Taek: does that not list the version it's installing ? [07:42] and since that doesn't diosplay a version for each driver (4 listed) I went the save way [07:42] safe* [07:42] from a file called a deb [07:42] Taek: are you running 13.04 ? [07:42] No [07:42] Taek: 12.04 ? [07:42] 12.04 [07:42] from a site called steampowered [07:43] yes 12.04 [07:43] Taek: be worth logging a bug for an LTS release to get the package updated to a compatible version if it's too old [07:43] is there a way to make a package unregonized by the package manager [07:43] Frank81: what do you mean ? [07:43] ikonia used the package manager installed something [07:43] I just went to amd's website and downloaded and installed myself ikonia [07:43] now packagemanager should think its not installed [07:43] thats it [07:44] Frank81: that's just foolish, if you used the package manager to install it, it will of course know it's installed (and should do, or it would be a bug) [07:44] args [07:44] i know what i am asking thx for trying [07:44] Frank81: why don't you explain the problem, it may be clearer then [07:44] kidx do you know what your videocard is? [07:44] ikonia [07:44] how can i install ubuntu from iso ( internal harddesk ) [07:45] yes [07:45] i made a 100% clear question [07:45] HD5770 [07:45] desktop? [07:45] it is foolish to re discuse why i ask that [07:45] but thx [07:45] Frank81: yes, and it's a foolish thing to request, to use the package manager to install software but not track that it's installed - that's the point of the package manager [07:45] how can i install ubuntu from iso ( internal harddisk ) [07:45] ikonia a package manager is software [07:45] software has fails [07:45] so i need to fix the fails [07:45] kidx it's a desktop right? [07:46] Frank81: hang on, so you are saying it's installed something and it DOESN'T think it's installed [07:46] join #xbox [07:46] nope [07:46] devmedooo, Do you have a linux install with grub now? [07:46] that would be the goal [07:46] to fix the problem [07:46] Frank81: that is not a bug [07:46] join /#xbox [07:46] Frank81: that is how it's expected to work [07:46] yes [07:46] desktop [07:46] Frank81: if you install software via the package manager, the package manager has to track it [07:46] ya [07:46] and now he installed wrong software [07:46] wrong depends and all that [07:47] and now that needs to get fixed [07:47] kidx -> http://is.gd/8wN0A1 [07:47] the way to fix that is install the right packages again [07:47] Frank81: ok, so a package has the wrong depencies ? [07:47] over the existing once [07:47] dependencies even [07:47] all i know is the aditional driver is not installing the upto date driver [07:47] THE SOLUTION is making it´+ [07:47] sorry i can't talk about it [07:47] makes me too angry [07:47] Frank81: you can't talk about it ??? [07:47] kidx the link for the latest of your card driver is at this link -> http://is.gd/8wN0A1 [07:47] Frank81: how can we help you then ? [07:47] wilee-nilee , what ? i don't know what is grub , the ubuntu version is 13.04 and i want make boot from iso file & along side windows 7 [07:47] ya else i punch my walls and break my heands [07:47] hands and so on [07:48] Frank81: is this on ubuntu or debian ? [07:48] ubuntu [07:48] Frank81: then why are you asking in #debian ? [07:48] coz ubuntu is debian based and here is no one that knows what i whant [07:48] Frank81: explain the problem, I'm sure it can be fixed, [07:48] wilee-nile : here?? [07:49] ikonia i am sure too [07:49] the problem is that i need to install the right package [07:49] Frank81: what you want doesn't sound like a solution, but if you explain the problem, I'm sure it's not a problem to fix it [07:49] but there is a wrong [07:49] that can't be removed [07:49] wilee-nilee... [07:49] Frank81: what's the software package ?

Is 'ufw' blocking something? [07:51] and the ways you try to ask makes me knowing that [07:51] Frank81: what ???? I'm asking for the information to help you [07:51] but you can't [07:51] hi everyone, can someone help me with Ubuntu One? I'm having problems [07:51] the right info would be a file path [07:51] now this is saying a previous driver was installed when i uninstalled it [07:51] Lanser: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [07:51] where he writes down the package infos [07:52] Frank81: no-one can help you unless you give me the information [07:52] of the installed packages [07:52] nothing else [07:52] what is the name of the ntfs scan disk tool with ntfsprogs. need to lift some pics with a live disc but puter wasnt shut down right [07:52] ActionParsnip: How can I do that?

[07:52] devmedooo: just ask [07:52] or a command to make it simply not manage the package anymore [07:52] Frank81: just explain the problem [07:53] Frank81: the package manager will NOT ignore a package [07:53] i tried install ubuntu 13.04 with the integrated wubi and i have error : " The request is not supported. " [07:53] ActionParsnip: I torrented it. [07:53] Frank81: so if you give us the info, I'm sure we can fix it [07:53] ikonia then re install is the way i need to go [07:53] but i think the package manger simply writes a file [07:53] i cant get the video drivers installed [07:53] thats it [07:53] Frank81: so the package is mysql-server [07:53] but ok then i simply start my migration to aws [07:53] ActionParsnip:i tried install ubuntu 13.04 with the integrated wubi and i have error : " The request is not supported.

[07:56] now wubi.exe is in iso file [07:56] devmedooo, Do you have to install a wubi, it is basically not supported and can be troublesome. [07:56] right so you have to either the whole iso file to a folder [07:57] or use something like unetbootin to mount iso to a flash drive [07:57] so , how can i reun ubuntu alongside ( without losing ) windows 7? [07:57] kidx: remove any other fglrx drivers from the repos first [07:57] run^ [07:57] how do i dothis [07:57] i am fairly new [07:57] welll to ubuntu [07:57] devmedooo: get unetbootin, and a 8gb flash drive. use unetbootin to make a bootable iso [07:57] kidx with the addational-drivers tool [07:58] devmedooo, Make a dvd or usb with the ISO, use the windows disk manager to resize it leaving a unallocated space and install ubuntu there from the booted media [07:58] already did this [07:58] kidx open dash home and type additional [07:58] then boot into ubuntu live, and start installation with side by side option [07:58] show none installed [07:58] how wilee-nilee?? [07:58] kidx: did you reboot? [07:58] yup [07:58] no idea then [07:58] devmedooo: search for unetbootin [07:59] does it show any drivers in the additional drivers app kidx? [07:59] devmedooo, I just said how I'm not sure I can be more clear, you might look for more info to get orientated. [07:59] how do i look for that [07:59] Equinox3: My Flash Drive Is Bootable with win8 , so i can't add ubuntu.... , is there a way i boot ubuntu from iso file ? [07:59] open the additional drivers app [08:00] dash home -> Additional Drivers [08:00] all i see is three things there [08:00] hi, I have a sync problem for Ubuntu one? [08:00] devmedooo: you can't boot from an iso file [08:00] click on each one until the [Activate] button turns to deactivate, then click on the button [08:00] I tried to install the experimental and nothing its out dated casue steam asks for it to be updated [08:01] they are all deactivated [08:01] you can create win8 bootable usb later, if you want to run ubuntu you'll have to format it and mount the iso on it [08:01] ubuntu one, sync problem files don't correlate [08:01] whats exactly the difference between ac'97 and high definition audio? It looks like realtek provides both for the ALC889A [08:01] Not sure then kidx [08:01] ill try again [08:01] devmedooo: or burn a cd with the iso [08:01] kidx: Unless you manually installed one prior [08:02] equinox3 : with any program? [08:02] yes, like poweriso [08:02] ok is the driver on the site upto date [08:02] On the website, yes [08:02] the additional app is not working right drivers are out dated for me [08:02] ill reboot now and try again [08:03] Okay [08:05] Equinox3, ubuntu wont fit on a cd [08:06] wilee-nilee: ah right. DVD :P [08:06] ;) [08:06] Can someone help me with sync problems of Ubuntu one [08:07] Lionthinker: there is the #ubuntu-one channel i belive [08:07] I don't use Ubuntu One - I have my own storage system [08:07] day: On my motherboard, I select which API the onboard sound uses in the BIOS. === iPhone is now known as Guest60459 [08:08] stub: oh boy...that might change everything.... i didnt know thats possible :/ i just thought soundcard needs a specific driver done [08:09] dr_willis, there's no one there [08:10] Lionthinker: Sure there is [08:11] taek help.. [08:11] Is there a channel for skype [08:11] Lionthinker: I don't use Ubuntu One - I have my own system I use. [08:11] should be [08:11] Which is not fully implemented yet. [08:12] Taek: if you are having issues in skype under ubuntu you can ask here [08:12] Taek: what is wrong with skype? [08:12] Skype sucks. [08:12] Lanser: everything :) [08:12] other then the fact MS owns it now? [08:12] ActionParsnip: oh you [08:12] Anyhow, any possible way to hide offline users? [08:12] dr_willis: oh yes. [08:12] In the skype contact list that is. [08:12] dr_willis: also, M$ has ganged up with NSA so I wouldn't recommend anyone to use Skype. [08:12] Taek: http://community.skype.com/t5/Linux/Hide-Offline-Contacts/td-p/67920 [08:12] lol Taek, skype doesn't work on mine. some ia32-lib dependencies cannot be installed [08:13] ActionParsnip: that's why I opted to run 32bit :D [08:13] Taek: www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJMs4RhrEls [08:13] 32bit>64bt, Taek. [08:13] Taek: the 64bit releases are multiarch so it will install, just uses a lot of extra space [08:13] why is that Lanser? [08:13] Equinox3, I'll have Google explain that to you. [08:13] Lanser: no don't [08:13] Taek: http://portal2portal.blogspot.co.uk/2010/10/skype-on-linux-hiding-off-line-contacts.html [08:13] Lanser: you explain it [08:14] Taek: guess how I am findingall these links..... [08:14] 32 bits cannot compile kernels as far as i remember [08:14] Equinox3: huh? [08:14] not that i'm compiling. [08:14] who cares, we have our own opinions. [08:14] Equinox3: what? [08:14] Equinox3: it can compile 32bit software, sure [08:15] Lanser: right - so please keep your random ones out [08:15] oh alright, ikonia. [08:15] Equinox3: how do you think the devs make the ubuntu 32bit kernel for updates? [08:15] Equinox3: why are you compiling kernels ? [08:15] Equinox3: is there a problem with the one ubuntu provides for you ? [08:16] People got some weird ideas [08:17] ActionParsnip: none of those work [08:18] that last one worked! [08:18] Ctrl+u while the contacts list is active [08:19] Taek: again, guess how I was finding those links..? [08:19] ActionParsnip: What are your thoughts on rape? Should people teach men NOT to rape? or should women protect themselves? [08:19] duckduckgo? [08:19] Equinox3: not this time :) [08:19] Lanser: that is offtopic here [08:19] come to #ubuntu-offtopic [08:20] ActionParsnip: I did a google search everything I found didn't work, I didn't see that link [08:20] Taek: search for 'skype hide offline users' [08:21] I didn't want a bunch of mac and windows threads appearing [08:21] I search for "hide offline contacts for skype in linux" [08:21] net some good ones, but none of those worked [08:32] stub: hm apparently the ac'97 vs hd audio bios setting is just for the fronpanel (they use different connectors, depending on what you want to use) === Noskcaj10 is now known as Noskcaj [08:43] I'm wondering what is Quasi? (http://www.quasinetwork.com/quasi-vs-vpn/), I've read the page but could not understand what is, can anybody illustrate it? (it's non-free an supports linux 'n windows) [08:47] hi there i was told here to upgrage to 12.04.1 lts to fix my cpu fan error but it hasn't worked [08:48] Is it a proxy app as in Ultrasurf, freegate, Tor, YourFreedom, etc? [08:50] my laptop now has overheated [08:51] x98: what is your laptop graphic card? [08:52] i don't know much but it is a standard sis one [08:52] Hi. I am trying to copy a large video file from my computer to my phone (attached via a USB cable and mounted as an external drive). I copy and paste the file to the drive and it copies all the way up to the last megabyte or so and then it hangs indefinitely. I've tried everything at my disposal to fix this problem. Pleas ehelp. === Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much [08:52] $ sudo lshw -class video [08:52] newky_: How long does "indefinitely" mean? === Tiger|0 is now known as SibirischerTiger [08:53] forever, theoretically [08:53] newky_, same problem here. [08:53] newky_: I mean, how long did you leave it? [08:53] in the past I have left files copying for hours and nothing changed. [08:53] newky_, it is related to permissions. [08:53] and the rest of the file copies over in a few seconds. These are around 100 megabytes ish [08:53] x98: run this command and paste its output to www.paste.ubuntu.com: sudo lshw -class video [08:54] ah, so I have to run Nautilus as root? [08:54] I should mention, I'm using the MATE desktop if that [08:54] If that's relevant information [08:54] newky_: try cp in command line [08:55] will that show an error? [08:55] newky_: If you're using the mate desktop, you might be using nemo, not nautilus [08:55] Hey guys, I am trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 64bit ISO using unetbootin to my server. I see the UNetbooin menu and tried the default option. It select country, detects keyboard but after that asks for CD. I don't have CD drive working. How to ensure Unetbootin installs from USB stick? [08:55] I want a solution that doesn't involve using the command line. [08:55] newky_: Oh OK. Good luck then :) [08:55] Also, I checked. It's definitely nautilus. Does mainline Ubuntu still use Nautilus [08:56] yes [08:56] okay, let me rephrase that [08:56] I'm okay with using the command line to FIX the problem [08:56] Ahh OK [08:56] You don't want to have to use the command line forever to copy files to your phone [08:56] I just don't want it to be the only way I can copy files to my phone from here on out [08:56] Yeah I get you :) [08:56] exactly [08:56] until now, I've just been booting into Win7 to copy things [08:56] It might be worth using the command line to try copying the file first, to see if it works [08:56] and I'm getting really tired of it [08:57] newky_, try using nautilus as blazemore said right now. Because using nautilus didn't work for me. [08:57] Understandable [08:57] newky_: the video file size? [08:57] I've been using nautilus [08:57] uh, let's see here, dorud [08:57] 428 MBs. [08:57] but it happens with smaller videos too [08:58] last video was 184 MBs [08:58] this is not a large file [08:58] indeed [08:58] like I said, it copies over and then it hangs on the last megabyte or so === racedo` is now known as racedo [08:58] and the copying window just sits there [08:58] hello! [08:59] newky_: It'd definitely be useful to try using the "cp" program from the command line. Do you know how to do that? [08:59] yep [08:59] newky_, please try copying using nautilus right now. See if that works. [08:59] please try cp, if it works, it's nautilus problem, if not, it's a system problem! [08:59] hang on a minute [08:59] OK well try it, and see what happens [08:59] NeoKarna: I already used nautilus. The problem is happening when I use Nautilus. [08:59] It's more a matter of, it probably will do the same thing, but might give an error [09:00] right, troubleshooting === cebor_ is now known as cebor [09:00] newky_, I had the very same problem too ! I searched like hell on the internet but no results ! Try using cp as blazemore suggests [09:01] okay, working on it [09:01] newky_: 1. test it by cp 2. run nautilus and copy it normally, view the terminal output [09:01] I just noticed a new problem === KacanuH_ is now known as KacanuH [09:01] I was trying to copy a text file from my desktop to my phone, but it won't let me copy from my desktop at all [09:01] *2. run nautilus from terminal ... === KacanuH is now known as Guest49242 [09:01] well, nevermind, different problem [09:02] okay yeah [09:02] Can I force override to usb modem's integrated memory so I can put inside [09:02] the ubuntu's driver package (the modem is MW-U3500 - WiMax) - to avoid moving additional flash drive with me every time I'm trying to use the modem on Ubuntu Machine [09:03] this only seems to affect the larger movie files. The text file copied fine [09:03] anyway, trying the cp command now [09:04] newky_: and also try running nautilus from terminal; report here [09:04] dorud: gotcha [09:05] cp command seems to be working [09:05] it's still copying [09:05] taking a while to copy, that's worrying === TacitBlue is now known as Tacit_AFK [09:06] nope, still hanging on the last MB. Same problem [09:07] newky, do you have write permissions [09:07] correction [09:07] newky_: what is your phone? what is its system file? may you check the video permissions? [09:07] it seems to have copied the whole file, but it will not play [09:07] write permissions for what? [09:07] for phone device [09:07] I have a Droid Razr [09:07] both for phon and the file [09:07] file system is FAT [09:08] I'm guessing FAT32? [09:08] the video file permission? [09:08] wouldn't that throw some kind of "nope, wrong permissions" error? [09:09] read and write for me [09:09] newky_, yeah ! [09:09] but it says read only for the "group permissions". I'm a noob with permissions. [09:09] group doesn't matters when your user have full permissions [09:09] I suppose it has [09:10] okay [09:10] I have a feeling it's not a permission error. I just feel like it'd give an error before it even copied the file [09:10] be sure it's not excutable. [09:11] by the way, cp sort of worked, but it hung too. It seems to have copied the whole file, judging by the file size, but the file I copied to my phone is unreadable [09:11] can you try to make an empty file in the phone [09:11] unplayable rather [09:11] I copied a text file to it earlier. This is only happening with the video files [09:11] try with 'touch test.txt' [09:11] isnt it just the usb write-ahead that takes a while to write all bytes? [09:12] it worked [09:12] how long did you wait? [09:12] I can create files on the drive [09:12] In the past when I've had this problem, I have waited hours and hours and it didn't finish. It should only take a few seconds to copy a file of this size. [09:12] what's the size of the video file [09:12] newky_: for the current time, zip the video and copy it on your droid phone, extract it. === iPhone is now known as Guest39834 [09:12] newky_: add the sync option to fstab can solve it [09:13] Recku: 428 MB [09:13] newky_: then it will behave like windows, including the corruption on fail =) [09:13] dorud: I will try that [09:13] do you have smaller file to check if it works [09:13] snuggl: why would I want that? :P [09:14] newky_: windows is set to write in real time, so the copy process is in sync with what you see in your UI [09:14] i have ubuntu 10.04 netbook version [09:14] then you will see the actual end time of the copy, not just when the OS has queued the writes. [09:15] snuggl is right [09:15] newky_, please post your question in askubuntu too. This is a common problem. Ubuntu is not so good with phones I guess. [09:15] newky_: I think it's a mounting problem! may mount it manually somewhere else?! [09:15] how to strip down the size .. because i want to modify the from gui to commandline only [09:15] *may you [09:15] fishcooker: use apt-get to remove the packages you dont want [09:15] hm, Perhaps I should just take the SD card out of my phone and put it into my machines card reader... [09:15] or the software GUI thingie [09:16] esp the gui one snuggl [09:16] newky_, I used a different phone to do the job but that didn't work for me. Hope it works for you ! [09:16] any pointer? [09:16] fishcooker: any pointer for what? [09:16] fishcooker: just remove the ones you dont want [09:16] the package? [09:16] also, I zipped the file and tried to copy it. Same problem, except it's hanging much earlier. at 386 MBs ouot of 427 [09:17] fishcooker: remove _all_ packages you dont want [09:17] TT [09:17] fishcooker: all the graphical ones [09:17] newky, how do you mount the phone [09:17] fishcooker: start with X and see what goes with it [09:17] that's it snuggl [09:17] whoa. Seems to have resolved. I think that might have worked [09:17] still no reason it shoudl take tha tlong [09:18] i just want to make sure it will be safe snuggl and fast [09:18] newky_: check dmesg for errors [09:18] that slow might be the USB controller dropping to 1.0 [09:18] Recku: I just plug the phone into my computer with a cable and let it automount [09:18] just type "dmesg" in a console [09:18] and look for suspicious USB things [09:18] snuggl: no, it's not. It copies the rest of the file at normal speed and then it hangs at a certain point close to the end. [09:18] MTP doesn't allow to write just as that easily [09:19] your phone is with android right? [09:19] newky_: thats no reason not to check the error log [09:19] Droid Razr [09:19] Recku: yes [09:19] is there software that allows you to copy contacts from your android phone? [09:19] snuggl: I was saying that at your suggestion that it might be dropping to USB 1 [09:20] so you have to use google's development of MTP client just wait for a while to find it out [09:20] ah, what does that mean? [09:20] you can export your contacts to a file on android. [09:21] hmm [09:21] how can i search expressions like {P} on google? or other searche engines? [09:21] i use airdroid on my android phones. faster for me than a usb csble [09:22] newky, try gMTP it works with earlier versions of android as I don't know which is used in your situations [09:22] *situation [09:22] I have android 4.1 on my phone [09:23] what exactly is gMTP and how do I use it? [09:23] !mtp [09:23] also, I tried to copy the file using nautilus running in root and it has the same problem [09:23] newer android phones show up as mtp devices. [09:23] is the min specs for Ubuntu 1GHz and 1GB of RAM? [09:24] mtp support is still a bit of a work in progress for linux [09:24] ah, okay [09:24] out of curiosity and scholarly interest, what exactly is MTP? [09:24] easiest way to get files to/from your android device is to install airdroid on the android device and use the wireless networking and your local network router. [09:24] media transfer protocol [09:24] somthing transport protacal [09:24] ;) [09:25] mobile? [09:25] gMTP is a client for transferring file between your PC and Phone's, tablet's or whatsoever MTP device [09:25] look itup on wikipedia perhaps? [09:25] Must be somewhere on the USB stack. [09:25] ;) [09:25] in the past Linux users use to call Windows XP bloated even though it could run on a Pentium 2 lol === tvoss_ is now known as tvoss|benchmark_ [09:26] Ah, I remember the days when XP was bloated. It's a fairly lightweight system on todays computers! [09:26] anyway, I'll try that [09:26] if that doesn't work, then I guess I'll just take the SD card out and put it in my PC. [09:26] XP is still bloated. [09:27] newky_: or try airdroid like i suggested [09:27] USB cable transfers seem to suck whenever i try them [09:27] I'll look into it. Thanks for the idea. [09:27] anywho. Thanks for your help everyone [09:28] dr_willis there is a google's project for easier transfer to mtp based memory === Red-Sox[away] is now known as Red-Sox [09:28] Recku: i havent even been trying to use mtp since ive started using airdroid. ;) [09:28] and all you have to do with their client is to mount the device and then just use nautilus but i forgot the name [09:29] theres scripts out to mount mtp devices and so forth.. but i dont bother with them any moar. [09:30] ok here it is [09:30] Go-mtpfs [09:30] what's that? [09:30] a gui tool for mounting mtp devices [09:31] newky, look up here http://www.webupd8.org/2012/12/how-to-mount-android-40-ubuntu-go-mtpfs.html [09:31] thank you [09:31] that guide is a little out of date. so may not be 100% accurate for the newer releases [09:32] internet is out of date [09:32] most of the information there [09:32] or if you got a wireless router your phone and pc both connect to, theres dozens of ways to transfer stuff over wireless [09:33] Life is like a box of......rm -rf / commands. [09:33] Lanser: No. [09:33] that command dosent really work any more (as written) these days. ;P [09:34] ok guys I've question now :D [09:34] Is there a way to force writing over write protected internal memory (it's about usb modem) [09:34] a USB 3g modem? [09:34] 4g modem but yes simmilar [09:35] the model is mw-u3500 [09:35] if its physically write protected. i would doubt it [09:35] All I want is to insert linux driver package [09:35] it could also be presenting the storage as a cdrom device [09:35] with root privileges doesn't work [09:36] yes that's how it presents it [09:36] the u3 usb fllash drives used that trick ages ago.. they were specially partioned. [09:37] one volume as Audio cd and other volume as USB storage [09:38] hi [09:38] so can I around that trick [09:38] I hated those U3 pen drives with a passion. [09:38] i UN-U3'd many of them in the past [09:38] I want to store data, not mess with hidden crapware. Aye, I did the same. Didn't stop people buying them though. :p [09:39] hello [09:39] hello [09:39] most people i knew dident even know what the u3 stuff was.. [09:40] They started to figure out when the software autoran when they plugged it in. It was a good intro to Linux, actually. I showed them how to find and destroy the partition using fdisk and other tools. [09:41] dr_willis, how I can reformat the USB mass storage volume [09:41] Recku: no idea. it may destroy it if you try [09:41] Recku: see if fdisk can partion it... [09:42] if its physically write protected.. you may not even be able to fdisk it [09:42] What does fdisk -l /dev/whatever say? [09:42] well I wouldn't lost anything the device will still works --- just without the windows driver :D [09:42] inside the memory [09:42] I've already tried with fdisk [09:42] Recku: you are assuming fdisk wont destroy it.. it might.. [09:42] Recku [09:43] Plug in the disk and do dmesg | grep Protect [09:43] if fdisk cant write to it. then i would say its got a physical switch on it. [09:43] It will let you know if it is write protected [09:43] yes, bhalash [09:44] You can use hdparm to /maybe/ turn it off [09:44] hdparm -r0 /dev/whatever [09:44] hdparm or sdparm? [09:45] sdparm or hdparm as appropriate :) [09:45] ok I'll check with that :) [09:46] is it just me, or is Ubuntu 12.04 64bit quite unstable ? [09:46] I've had no problems whatsoever. [09:46] What kind of instability? [09:46] Hello. I had some issues with 12.04 actually too. [09:46] is anyone able to get any result for any search on this site? http://www.symbolhound.com/ === KacanuH is now known as Guest31605 [09:47] !ot | nono [09:47] nono: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [09:47] bhalash: it randomly hangs, and is somewhat slower than the 32bit version I have got running on another machine [09:47] k1l: maybe it's an ubuntu issue, because apparently it's working fine on windows [09:47] Yeah. [09:48] okay, first off.. can anyone even read my text? [09:48] fox__: yeah, you're visible [09:48] Thanks, I've been in and out of a few rooms and no one's replied at all. [09:48] if we say no.. ;-) [09:48] That could be one of a host of problems. I had some driver problems early on (Nvidia Optimus) that caused hands, but it was eventually ironed out. Performance and stability has been fine for me since. Been using Ubuntu 64-bit for ~18 months now. [09:49] Hi. In the contexts of RAID, what is a degraded drive? [09:49] Who is fox__? Did fox__ say something? I can't see. [09:49] bhalash: I'm using on a new HP machine, radeon graphics. [09:49] show entries to add solivitacap.org as virtual host to unbuntu 13.10 apache2...localhost show correct test page..trying to go to solivitacap.org times out.trying to reach my server [09:49] you are running 13.10 on it? [09:50] yes [09:50] I've had such a headache with 12.04 both 64bit and 32. Random hangs and apport going nuts apparently reporting it's self to it's self. [09:50] Aaruni, do you have a spare machine? Does the 64-bit machine keep locking? [09:51] bhalash: I have another Dell, with 32bit on it, and no spare partition [09:51] It is a kernel-panic-oh-shit-reboot crash, or a silently-lock-up crash? [09:51] random hangs->hardware problems most of the time [09:51] bhalash: I think XORG crashes. because its working fine, and then suddenly, it stops working. I then need to pull the plug (or because its a laptop, long press the power key) [09:52] bad memory, overheating [09:52] That sounds like a driver problem. Interesting way to fix it: SSH in from another machine and see if the locked up machine responds. [09:52] jatt: none of that. new laptop. barely a week old [09:52] Test memory too [09:52] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DebuggingSystemCrash [09:53] bhalash: that's a nice way to test it. but I will have to first install ssh server, right? sudo apt-get install sshd ? [09:53] hi [09:53] apt-get install openssh-server [09:53] 13.04 works better for me now. I just keep getting this message telling me a problem was detected. === eli is now known as Guest29840 [09:53] I'm new to linux [09:53] ok, back after reboot, just installed some updates. [09:53] I have problem with gparted [09:53] anyone can help me? [09:54] What's the problem, Guest29840? [09:54] I wanna create a logical partition [09:54] when I check the partitions in gparted [09:55] Aaruni, if you SSH in and the machine responds fine, it probably is a video driver issue. They are usually the culprit. [09:55] I get error icon near extended partition [09:55] I wound up installing a SSH client on my iPhone while I was solving my own problem. :D [09:56] need help adding virtual host domain solivitacap.org to ubuntu server 13.10 apache2 server [09:56] Guest29840, Have you tried using fdisk directly?

[10:16] It will list your partitions [10:17] i want give permission to a user [10:17] blazemore: your solution to the df problem looks very good to me, i doubt there is anything better [10:18] blazemore: maybe df --total is better :p [10:19] arun_, permissions are set on the mount points. To see the mount points, use the command : mount | grep '/dev/sd' [10:20] Hi all, I have two battery's. One built in and the other Slice battery. Ubuntu first drains the Slice battery which is ofcourse the default behavior. But after it drains the Slice battery, it says that battery has reached critical state and shutdowns the computer. It does not use the builtin battery. How can remedy this? [10:20] arun_, it will show only those partitions that are mounted. If the desired partition is not mounted, you will need to mount it first (partitions included in fstab are automatically mounted at startup) [10:20] i cannot identify which are mounted [10:21] but i can access all of my drives [10:21] cat /etc/mtab [10:21] arun_, can you access the partitions (their contents) which you wish to grant permissions on? [10:21] arun_, are you able to access them right now? [10:22] yes [10:22] varunendra, i wish to grant access to named new volume [10:23] arun_, please give us the pastebin link to the output of : mount | grep '/dev/sd' [10:23] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5890340/ [10:23] i will give wait [10:24] i think i gave, right [10:24] nibbler_: derp === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman === sinan is now known as sinan1 [10:25] varun, did u saw the link? === sinan1 is now known as s1nan [10:25] arun_, what kind of permissions do you wish to grant on that mount point?

The guide will show you in detail how to do that. [10:30] thanks varun [10:31] thanks ubottu [10:31] joshu: have you tried other DMs? [10:31] no problem ! :) [10:31] ActionParsnip DMs? [10:32] joshu: instead of lightdm..... [10:32] joshu: gdm? xdm? slim? [10:32] mdm \o/ [10:33] ActionParsnip I haven't tried no. I'm looking for help with the whole thing not just the DM whether it be lightdm or something else. [10:34] not familiar soory [10:34] sorry [10:35] joshu: Keep lightdm installed, install a super lightweight WM like Openbox. Let network manager handle your multiple connections and VPN. [10:35] haha someone saying linux is easier for noobs than ever [10:36] LucidDreamZzZz: it is, back in the day it was not so simple as it is now [10:36] LucidDreamZzZz: same with windows [10:36] it just keeps getting more complex and bloaty [10:36] LucidDreamZzZz: bloat is nothing to do with ease of use [10:37] LucidDreamZzZz: is it? [10:37] Ignore him ActionParsnip [10:37] blazemore: I have time :) [10:37] 'back int he day' there was next step (macos x) running stabily on Redhat (free) [10:37] You know why he's in here, I know why he's in here [10:37] it was always easy [10:37] LucidDreamZzZz: for the average user, not so easy [10:38] LucidDreamZzZz: although, depends when your 'back in the day' is. I'm talking 2002/3 [10:38] if redhat wasnt easy enough there was mandrake or debian [10:38] just saying how many ways are there now to start x? [10:38] lol [10:38] LucidDreamZzZz: ever had to compile a kernel to make your CD burner work? [10:39] LucidDreamZzZz: cos I have [10:39] another point you make for me, i wouldnt spend time rolling my own kernel these days [10:39] LucidDreamZzZz: I'm sure thats super easy for teh guy on the street, right? [10:39] its too damn complicated now [10:39] LucidDreamZzZz: you HAD to to make some hardware work [10:39] LucidDreamZzZz: I've seen desktop Linux improve leaps and bounds over the last 10 years in terms of hardware compatibility, usability, and general out-of-the-box experience [10:40] i used to build gento stage 1 box or roll my opwn, whatever [10:40] blazemore so starting with ubuntu mini is a good idea? [10:40] Hi all, I have two battery's. One built in and the other Slice battery. Ubuntu first drains the Slice battery which is ofcourse the default behavior. But after it drains the Slice battery, it says that battery has reached critical state and shutdowns the computer. It does not use the builtin battery. How can remedy this? [10:40] now gentoo doesnt even offer stage 1 and nobody rolls their own unless they absoolutely have to [10:41] vadrao: One thing to do would be to stop Ubuntu from shutting down / hibernating your computer on low battery. You can do this in power options [10:41] the only thing is yes hardware support is marginally better, nobody ever built without checking hardware compatibility list [10:41] LucidDreamZzZz: Gentoo stage1 instals arent supported now, or advised [10:41] so thats a non-issue [10:42] LucidDreamZzZz: it was though, now its a whole tonne easier [10:42] LucidDreamZzZz: which you said is not the case and it was always easy. [10:42] LucidDreamZzZz: right> [10:43] LucidDreamZzZz: Do you have an Ubuntu related support question? [10:43] the other thing is there is a web browser that is stable, that was something that was lacking in Linux you almost had to use IE 4 to use the Internet [10:43] LucidDreamZzZz: you haven't answer my simple question [10:43] and that is no lie [10:43] LucidDreamZzZz: or blazemore's [10:44] yeah it hasnt gotten any simpler [10:44] that question? [10:44] blazemore: In that case it shows this red empty battery on the top right hand corner. Simple things like this should be seemless [10:45] LucidDreamZzZz: but it really has, 'normal' users can install and use Ubuntu with minimal issue, lots of hardware works out of the box. I have given you examples of how this is the case [10:45] vadrao: It's not particularly simple; a dual battery configuration can't necessarily be expected to work out the box. What specific model of laptop is it? === om26er is now known as om26er|away [10:45] i mean really i still have to set up a xorg.conf???? [10:45] ok whatever its easier now [10:45] :) [10:45] LucidDreamZzZz: the kernel has come in leaps and bounds and companies are starting to make Linux drivers which were not around previously [10:46] LucidDreamZzZz: I haven't touched my xorg.conf for 3 years [10:46] LucidDreamZzZz: then your screen is not reporting EDID as it should, or is reporting it wrong [10:46] blazemore: Its the latest Sony Vaio Duo 11 ultrabook which is a Slider [10:46] kernel is (very) monolithic [10:46] LucidDreamZzZz: the screen should reports its access and udev will setup the screen on the fly, if your doesn't then xorg.conf is needed [10:46] vadrao: Do you have a model number? [10:47] LucidDreamZzZz: You read that on the Internet somewhere and you are like "omg monolithic = bloat = A Bad Thing" [10:47] Yes [10:47] LucidDreamZzZz: I need one myself as my res goes insanely tiny with a very high DPI, so I have to setup the screen [10:47] LucidDreamZzZz: Do you know what it means for a kernel to be "monolithic"? It's not a derogatory term... [10:47] blazemore: The model number is SVD1121C5EB [10:47] sometimes i still need that file for monitor settings, xrandr having 3 totally different versions doesnt help much as i have no clue how to use them anymore as it melted my brain [10:47] LucidDreamZzZz: do you have an actual technical ubuntu issue? this is not the channel for general chatter (or ranting) [10:48] ik i was probably using monolithic duall meaning other menaing is large?? [10:48] that could be wrong checking websters [10:49] how can i get wine 1.6? [10:49] no not really i am just glad Ubuntu has steam and updated drivers, thank you! [10:49] LucidDreamZzZz: again, its your screen [10:49] Gilligan94_: it's not in the stable ubuntu repos, you'd need to use a 3rd party repo - but use it at your own risk [10:49] vadrao: I believe it's not currently supported: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-power/+bug/880881 [10:49] Ubuntu bug 880881 in indicator-power (Ubuntu) "Power indicator does not combine multiple battery status" [Medium,Triaged] [10:49] Gilligan94_: try the wine ppa [10:49] vadrao: But as a workaround, you can stop it from shutting itsself down [10:49] vadrao: You might just have to live with the incorrect battery indicator :\ [10:49] ActionParsnip: I have the wine ppa installed but for some reason it just installs 1.4.1 [10:50] Gilligan94_: Is Wine 1.6 in the repository yet? [10:50] blazemore: not sure === amin_007110 is now known as amin007110 [10:50] Gilligan94_: It is... try running apt-get update first [10:50] Gilligan94_: did you check the versiojn on the PPA? [10:50] Gilligan94_: sudo apt-get install wine1.6 [10:51] blazemore: Thanks for letting me know about that bug. I will check it out and it looks like I have to live with that until a solution is foun [10:51] Gilligan94_: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-wine/+archive/ppa?field.series_filter=raring [10:51] bhalash: back after update. my wi-fi driver broke, that took a long time to fix.. [10:51] Gilligan94_: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [10:51] ActionParsnip: elementary OS Luna \n \l [10:51] Gilligan94_: not supported here [10:52] blazemore: I have that PPA added [10:52] Gilligan94_: this is ubuntu suport [10:52] I'm aware [10:52] I'm willing to pay for help if someone is interested in helping me with my custom ubuntu setup [10:52] Gilligan94_: then why are you asking here [10:52] Gilligan94_: then talk to the elementary support how to get wine 1.6 [10:52] joshu: don't need to pay, just ask and if people can help they will [10:52] yes according to websters monolithic means HUGE or MASSIVE [10:52] joshu: lol ? I'll help you for free, if I can [10:52] Aaruni: Make sure you set up a SSH server too so you can still get in if it locks. [10:52] !ot | LucidDreamZzZz [10:52] LucidDreamZzZz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [10:52] Gilligan94_: elementary support is entirely separate from Ubuntu's. Just like every other 'ubuntu based' distro you can name [10:53] hey guys i installed a game called Stunt Rally from Playdeb.net now i want to uninstall it since my onboard intel graphic Card is not supporting it. How to uninstall it? [10:53] bhalash: doing that now [10:53] greyhatpython: use software centre [10:53] greyhatpython: Open the Ubuntu Software Centre, search for Stunt Rally [10:53] The Software Center is showing not found for that name. [10:53] joshu: provide some details. no need for paying in here [10:53] greyhatpython: playdeb is just another repo and installing from it and uninstalling apps from it is no different to the apps from the official repos [10:53] probably because you installed it with dpkg -i [10:53] ikonia Aaruni hi guys instead of putting everything here I posted on ubuntuforums http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2163132 [10:54] Yes but the ubuntu software center is not showing it [10:54] good [10:54] greyhatpython: How did you install it? [10:54] I am sure it's in my system i don't know where to locate and how to uninstall [10:54] greyhatpython: How you uninstall it depends completely on how you installed it [10:54] I installed via ubuntu software center from the apt link i got from playdeb.net [10:55] greyhatpython: if you run: dpkg -l | egrep -i 'stunt|rally' you will see the package name [10:55] joshu: you can do that with a standard ubuntu install and a startup script [10:55] Did you download a .deb file? [10:55] greyhatpython: ^ [10:55] I have question about mpich2! [10:56] joshu: Your setup isn't nearly as complicated as you think it is. Network Manager handles your network config for you, and then you can just run an rdp client on startup after a short delay [10:56] Ok i got this output : ii stuntrally 2.0-1~getdeb2~quantal i386 Rally game with stunt elements [10:56] ii stuntrally-data 2.0-1~getdeb2~quantal all Rally game with stunt elements (data package) [10:56] ii stuntrally-tracks 2.0-1~getdeb1 all Rally game with stunt elements (tracks package) [10:56] joshu: looks pretty ill thought out though [10:56] !ask | hamed what is your question? [10:56] hamed what is your question?: 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 [10:56] greyhatpython: sudo apt-get --purge remove stuntrally stuntrally-data stuntrally-tracks [10:56] joshu: sorry, I can't help you there.. [10:57] Aaruni no worries thanks ;) [10:57] ok i will try but explain me the command how you got it? [10:58] I install mpich2 and mpich3 on my system. I have error symbol missing after run the my mpi program [10:58] ok i got it it's the package name you said to remove [10:58] ikonia how's it "ill thought out"? what would you do? [10:58] greyhatpython: read your own output, then read the commadn I gave [10:59] joshu: bottom line, you can do what you want with a standard ubuntu install and some login / startup scripts [10:59] understood!!!! [10:59] Thanks a lot ActionParsnip [10:59] greyhatpython: np man [11:01] I think installing mpich2 and mpich3 same time is problem and I want to remove them completely; but I can't!! [11:01] hamed: sudo apt-get purge ? [11:02] ikonia I understand but in terms of keeping the system minimal as the OS itself will just be a thin client then using a standard install is too much, no? [11:03] I didn't get it: sudo apt-get purge ? Please explain more!? [11:04] hamed: sudo apt-get purge [11:04] removes packages, and their configuration files [11:04] I make them from source code [11:04] oh, then I don't know [11:05] hamed: Right, then the package manager isn't going to help and you'll have to do it by hand. [11:06] But How? where is the paths of mpich* ? Because there are many *mpi* file in my /usr dir. [11:07] hamed: That's something we can't help with. [11:07] /nick entertainer0815 [11:07] -.- [11:07] Thanks === harry is now known as entertainer0815 [11:08] harry: without the leading space [11:08] yeah I know thx ActionParsnip [11:08] entertainer0815: np :) [11:09] hello,there [11:12] Hey can somebody help me with my printer? I try to load a ppd unter settings. My Windowmanager is gnome. But everytime when I save the settings nothing is changed [11:13] entertainer0815: what printer? [11:13] Brother DCP-J315W [11:13] entertainer0815: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue === om26er|away is now known as om26er [11:13] joshu: I think you need to think about what you believe a thin client actually is [11:13] Ubuntu 13.04 [11:13] entertainer0815: did you check the Brother website for driver deb files, they do make them... [11:14] yeah I have installed drivers [11:14] the ppd is in /etc/cups/ppd/ [11:15] the GTK-GUI for the printer settings don't work. I tried to load the right ppd but nothing happens [11:15] so can i do this in terminal too? [11:15] I must just change the path to the ppd [11:15] entertainer0815: http://pastie.org/8155359 [11:16] ActionParsnip, I did this ... [11:17] entertainer0815: if you delete the printer from Ubuntu and power off the printer, then reboot and have the printer attached, it should pickup [11:17] ah ok [11:17] entertainer0815: if not then use: http://localhost:631 and add it there [11:17] let me try this [11:18] hey. I moved my hard drive (the one I boot from) to a new machine. now kswapd takes 100% cpu for long periods of time. it did not happen on the old machine. any idea what could be the cause and how to fix it? [11:18] ikonia I think I understand what a thin client is as I've worked with wyse thin clients. But creating a solution myself is what I'm trying to do and although I understand that I can just do a standard install of ubuntu on a laptop and create some scripts, it's not exactly what I want. [11:19] joshu: yes, and a wyse system is nothing like what you are suggesting [11:19] joshu: have you looked at something like lubuntu ? [11:20] or xpud [11:20] joshu: haveyou looked at ltsp ? [11:20] or puppy [11:20] puppy ? [11:20] what has that got to do with it ? [11:21] ikonia a wyse system with WTOS allows remote updating, shadowing, configuration, automatic vpn, all but using usb modems [11:21] joshu: I think ltsp would probably tick at least %70 of your needs out of the box [11:22] ikonia i have looked at ltsp, but that's quite different if I understand it connects to an ubuntu server. I chatted with some people on the #ltsp channel and they suggested ubuntu mini + lightdm that's why I've mentioned it in my post. [11:22] ikonia: its a good OS for thin clients [11:22] ActionParsnip: it's terrible [11:22] ActionParsnip: it's old and dated [11:23] it's totally unmaintained apart from crazy unsupportable stuff like "slacko" [11:23] joshu: you're starting to get into building your own custom spin/distro at that point [11:23] ikonia: http://puppylinux.org/main/Download%20Latest%20Release.htm march 2013, only 1 month younger than Raring [11:23] huh, slacko worked prety good for me, on a eeepc [11:23] ActionParsnip: and look at what is is "slacko" [11:23] ActionParsnip: it's just taking software from slackware [11:24] ikonia: its still puppy linux though [11:24] ActionParsnip: it's really not [11:24] there has not been a native puppy build for a long long time [11:24] ikonia: how so, its on the official puppy linux and toued as the 'latest release', how is it not puppy? [11:24] because puppy is dead and they just re-spin other peoples software in an unstable mess now [11:25] ikonia: then why is the puppy site showing it as new, its right there on the page [11:25] ActionParsnip: because it is new [11:25] thx ActionParsnip <3 [11:25] ikonia: you said it was old though... [11:25] ActionParsnip: and this is what people in puppy do now, [11:25] entertainer0815: all good? [11:25] ActionParsnip: yes, the last proper puppy standalone OS is old [11:25] yeah ActionParsnip [11:25] Hey all [11:25] ikonia ok and you wouldn't suggest that for this project? [11:25] entertainer0815: yay [11:26] sometimes is "turn it off and on again" better :D [11:26] joshu: the building of a custom distro you mean ? [11:26] entertainer0815: no doubt [11:26] ikonia: it doesnt make any sense [11:26] ActionParsnip: it really does [11:26] thx and bye :) [11:26] ikonia yes if that's what it would mean starting with ubuntu mini? [11:26] joshu: it really depends if you want to build, maintain and support your own ubuntu spin [11:26] ikonia: you say puppy is dead but the puppy site shows a release in March, not old [11:27] joshu: it's not a bad idea, you just need to be aware of what you are getting into [11:27] ikonia: doesnt matter what its based on, its still puppy [11:27] ActionParsnip: please look at what puppy releases are now, they are just spins of other distros using the "woof" tool, they are an unstable mess and there is nothing really "puppy" in it any more. The last proper puppy build is old, hence why it's old [11:28] ikonia: i wouldnt say so, but lets move on [11:28] Hi [11:28] Can anyone help me with a touchpad problem on Ubuntu?

[11:40] 12.04 [11:40] ActionParsnip: I will try that [11:40] alioth the easiest way is to use a live cd of ubuntu on usb key then install gparted and resize! [11:40] I'm using live cd now! [11:41] ikonia alternatively your suggestion is standard ubuntu with scripts, yes? [11:41] greyhat , actually in information box the status of partition is not mounted!!

[11:42] but resize/move option is unactive also!!

[13:30] anonee: correct [13:31] Casey: if it is a backup, just rerun a full backup to recreate the data [13:31] * riex having sweaty balls today [13:32] ActionParsnip: I am very new to linux so my skills on here are limited [13:32] emper0r: just add the lines you want in /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/head [13:32] Casey: but you said it was only the backup drive, surely the live data stands, right? [13:32] ActionParsnip: yes on like 8 other hard drives. [13:33] Casey if you have a backup you don't need photorec [13:33] Casey: then you can recreate the data [13:34] ActionParsnip: this was to consolidate all of those drives (some on computers that are no longer in this state) and then create a backup of the backup, I was only touching this to take it out of EXT4 and move it to NTFS [13:34] Casey: ntfs? really... [13:34] new user .. any help ?? [13:35] ubair please don't ask to ask questions, just go ahead, p.s.

[13:40] i'm looking for private cloud software build my own cloud [13:40] xkernel try owncloud [13:40] xkernel: owncloud [13:41] MonkeyDust, blazemore do you think its better to create owncloud or to install each service as standalone like mail server, file server ,etc.. I'm talking about 1 server machine [13:41] xkernel better ask in #ubuntu-server [13:41] xkernel: It depends on what you want from it. It can be better to install everything yourself because then you know 100% what you are running [13:42] anonee: overall goal: to take all info off of the raid 1 ext4's move it to a temp HDD. Reformat the ext4's to NTFS. Problem: For some reason I did not have permissions on my hard drives to just right-click delete, so I had to go in as root and delete the folder that did not need to come over. Thus I deleted all data :( [13:44] Casey now for the lost folder, read this http://www.cgsecurity.org/wiki/PhotoRec to know how to use photorec, note: always be sure to recover to a different partition, and the rest is gonna be easier I think it can be done by a # cp command [13:44] the raid1 ext4's are still intact, and I haven't formated or touched them since I deleted the whole folder inside the raid 1 [13:45] anonee: I've used it in the past off of a cd in bootup, so I'll be ok there, I just didnt know how to start the program in linux, lol. [13:45] Casey I don't remember too there's a tool in photorec called, let me check [13:45] hey guys... having issues with ant. i type "ant -version" and i get the message "unable to locate tools.jar.

I don't know why this 8MB is not included in Ubuntu. [13:59] the backbone IPs is set manually.. but the AP IPs should be delivery automactly with dhcp [14:00] tgary: I have no idea either [14:00] Slart: (It is in the official linux libertine sourceforge page, no need to convert.)

[14:01] RxDx: Try #ubuntu-server or ##networking (the latter is unaffiliated with Ubuntu) [14:02] RxDx: Ahh, yeah, that i dont think i can help with, the handoff. other than that, enable dhcp on just one router, so one router would be the gateway address for all ohter routers, and all other devices connected to those routers also. do you get what i mean? === blazemore is now known as Muffin === Muffin is now known as blazemore [14:04] any simple mtp for android solutions other than "upgrade to 13.04"?

[14:13] JayPro start from the beginning, what are you trying to achieve [14:13] im trying to install ofbiz to test it out... before i do, i was checking to see if java, subversion, and ant is installed correctly [14:14] !find ofbiz [14:14] Package/file ofbiz does not exist in raring [14:14] so... java and subversion checks out... [14:15] but ant can not locate java tools [14:17] i've removed java and ant...then reinstalled ant, which also installed java...still i get the same error...not being able to locate java tools [14:18] try setting up the java in path environment variable [14:19] or also it should work by setting up the JAVA_HOME export parameters === mist is now known as jist [14:21] linux_hacks okay ummm...let me google that.. [14:21] you mean to set java_home [14:21] yeah i dont know what that means.. [14:22] ok run this command [14:22] export JAVA_HOME='' location of java where it is installed [14:22] to the parent directory not to the bin directory [14:23] /usr/lib/jvm? there's like 5 java folders [14:23] run ls [14:23] and copy the stack trace to pastebin [14:23] Hey guys does anyone know how to dd the android sdcard filesystem out so I can use scalpel/other data recovery software on it?

[14:26] ActionParsnip: who are you [14:26] pici: help me [14:26] lol [14:26] s4ck: why does that matter? [14:26] installer not working [14:26] s4ck: stop pressing enter every 2 words. [14:26] s4ck: what video chip do you use? [14:26] ActionParsnip: how do i check it [14:26] i use linux..... [14:27] s4ck: does the system have a working OS presently? [14:27] yes actionparsnip, of course [14:27] s4ck: not of course, it could be a new HDD and you want to install to it [14:27] s4ck: there is no 'of coure' about it [14:27] actionparsnip: my hdd is 600gb [14:27] s4ck: what OS are you running presently [14:28] s4ck: your HDD is irrelevant right now [14:28] actionparsnip: ubuntu 9 [14:28] updatemanager giving me black screen [14:28] now it's update manager, not an installation... [14:28] s4ck: ok run: sudo lshw -C display [14:29] @ActionParsnip: Sorry, /etc/issue is "Ubuntu 13.04 \n \l" [14:29] s4ck: there is no ubuntu 9, there is ubuntu 9.04 and ubuntu 9.10 [14:29] actionparsnip; now installer work, thanks [14:29] Hello; I have a question about folder-mounted devices in general and cifs in particular. I have some folders on a NAS mounted on login via fstab, and for the most part it's great how transparent it is. However, I'm wondering if there is any simple way for a program to see that a folder is so mounted and what the IP is? [14:29] magic happened [14:29] My issue is specifically with the fact that CrashPlan can't throttle the LAN traffic between my laptop and the NAS folders because it just sees it as a local folder, not a LAN destination. I wanted to suggest to CrashPlan that they add functionality to discriminate, but I don't know if there is a ready way for an application to check. [14:29] now its working [14:29] nob lack screen [14:29] but i have 1 more question, actionparsnip. are u knowing v4l2loopback? [14:29] Guest29752: http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/06/mount-nexus-4-on-ubuntu all I know [14:30] how can I create virtual webcam and stream videos from it? [14:30] s4ck: never heard of it [14:30] s4ck: why is this so time critical? [14:30] MoPac, if you want to monitor traffic SMB uses the tcp/ip stack you just monitor destination ip:port and traffict to/from it [14:31] any operator here [14:31] !ops - i need cloak [14:31] s4ck: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [14:31] s4ck: why is this so time critical?

[14:31] s4ck: why did you want help urgently for just an install please? [14:31] ezra-s: So an application would actually have to send data to a folder, then do traffic monitoring and determine statistically or something that "hey, that was my traffic, this folder must be remote"?

It then throttles the rates based on your settings, not by monitoring its own traffic and then determining that it's sending data over LAN or WAN [14:34] ezra-s: does he come to irc?

[14:35] i was told here to upgrade my ubuntu so my cpu fan will work but it was just some paper stuck in there [14:35] ezra-s: So I was wondering if Ubuntu's mounting system - cifs or whatnot - created some kind of ready list of mounts and IPs that other apps can read [14:35] ActionParsnip: my ubuntu was having black screen, i thought all my data will be removed [14:35] arc__: Fantastic :D [14:35] blazemore, ohh.. my bad, I assumed he remained that way as he is still the one who does the talking publicaly, my bad === jack is now known as Guest72895 [14:36] MoPac: fstab/GIO gvolume ? [14:36] yeah thanz all you irc guy out there [14:36] MoPac, no clue [14:36] arc__: To be fair, when we help people we tend to assume they've already checked the obvious things like "nothing is physically stuck in my computer" [14:36] my bad , my bad ..gawd , can't you guys speak english [14:36] hi all, does anyone know of a method of installing ubuntu-minimal that supports UEFI booting (mini.iso does not work, no uefi support) [14:37] jpds: Sorry, I'm a bit to green to follow -- I know the fstab file but not GIO gvolume [14:37] yeah i just ask a lapto tech guy at my school [14:37] ezra-s: thanks for thinking about it anyway [14:37] s4ck: no, an installer not running will not toch your data. You should also have a backup if your data is important [14:37] can anyone please confirm if the latest bcmwl drivers support the new 802.11ac cards? [14:37] *touch [14:37] BluesKaj, are you talking to me? [14:37] actionparsnip, you make lots of english grammatical mistakes.... [14:38] in general ezra-s , you're not the onlky one [14:38] err only [14:38] JayPro: did you do this java_home should be set to /usr/lib/jum/default-java [14:38] s4ck stick to support questions, please [14:38] s4ck: typographical errors, not spelling mistakes. I doubt he thinks it's spelled "toch", it's more likely he just typed it incorrectly [14:38] anyway when i upgraded to 12.04 i lost all of my packages and they where compatible with 12.04.1 so i am confused [14:39] BluesKaj, but I can use informal language If I want, or not? [14:39] my ubuntu 12.04 system heating too much. its dell m101z [14:39] blazemore: please shut up [14:39] s4ck: please stick to the technical ubuntu support in here (see the messages the bot gave you) [14:39] MoPac: It's an interface to what GNOME knows about mountpoints. [14:39] ok k1l_ [14:39] Thanks k1l_ [14:40] jpds: thanks [14:40] ashish_ is there anything stuck in your fan [14:40] ezra-s, informal isn't always est for those who don't understand English idioms and vernaculars as well you do. [14:41] nothing. my fan is working file. initially i installed 13.04 but there was not driver supportd to amd display manager so i install 12.04 with fglrsx drivers its its too hot [14:41] BluesKaj, english is not my native language, I use what I usually hear, "my bad" was used a lot when I lived in US [14:41] linux_hacks yeah did not work [14:41] no matter [14:41] Good morning all [14:41] :P [14:41] do you have any special reason to use openjdk [14:42] my bad is poor English even by US standards [14:42] generally I would install sun jdk and use ant download and configure system [14:42] BluesKaj, well you weren't there hearing "it ain't" all day long :P [14:43] my bad isn't "cool" , it's dumbing down , that's all === ken is now known as Guest21584 [14:43] linux_hacks i just want to use ofbiz.... checked tutorials on installing ofbiz on ubuntu and it was asking for for them - http://rmahmadur.wordpress.com/2013/06/03/installation-of-ofbiz-on-ubuntu-12-04/ [14:43] * ezra-s erases "my bad" as requested [14:44] ok..so do this.. [14:44] HI all. Boot process hangs here : [ 13.184419] init: upstart-udev-bridge state changed from starting to pre-start [14:45] for a quite long time. How to debug thi ? [14:45] *this? [14:45] drasko_: Does it boot eventually? [14:45] yeap [14:46] but after 2 minutes [14:46] meanwhile no console output [14:46] untill login prompt, which appears, as I said, around 2 min after [14:47] drasko_: Can you please run the command: " sudo apt-get install bootchart pybootchartgui -y " (without the quotes). BootChart is a utility which helps find bottlenecks in the boot process [14:47] drasko_: Once you've done that, reboot and let me know [14:47] blazemore, I already have bootchart installed [14:47] "compassionate conservative" is bad English :D [14:47] and I booted with it [14:47] Oh OK show me your bootchart them :) [14:47] *then [14:47] but I can not find bootstrap.tgz [14:47] *bootchart.tgz [14:47] drasko_: It's a png image in /var/log/bootchart [14:47] hehe [14:48] blazemore, I do not have pybootchartgui [14:48] Does anyone know a published list of updates you receive by date from the update manager? [14:48] just bootchart [14:48] hi all, does anyone know of a method of installing 13.04 ubuntu-minimal that supports UEFI booting (mini.iso does not work, no uefi support) [14:49] drasko_: Are there any files in /var/log/bootchart ? [14:49] Gentlemen, when I open a remote SSH session with xforwarding and start the DE [14:49] is it meant to migrate the session from the PC I am sshing from? [14:49] blazemore, yes actually... I just saw tgz [14:49] let me analyze it [14:49] drasko_: You need pybootchartgui to turn that into a png [14:49] I found it ubuntuupdates.org [14:49] yeap, I know ;) [14:50] I have this on my host [14:50] (I run ubuntu on ARM target, and have no GUI there) [14:51] my ubuntu system is heating too much with 12.04 and fglrx drivers [14:51] i installed tlp and zram also. its normal temp is 95C [14:51] hello #ubuntu [14:51] Semper: No, it will work for new individual applications (try xeyes as the standard test example) [14:52] boss said we'll import these users with dots in their login names. also, they should be able to log in with these and new users should also be created with dots from gui. [14:53] a quick google didn't turn up too much useful info so I came here... [14:53] I don't understand your question mar77i [14:53] ashish_: are your fans running? Does it heat up that much with any other OS? consider checking heatsinks for blockages [14:53] mar77i: run? [14:53] Everyone in here now is going to be "check your fan for paper" with every overheating issue :P [14:53] 3 [14:53] ya my fan is working fine. in windows system was ok [14:54] blazemore: it's not a bad troubleshooting step. [14:54] h00k: I know, but one assumes that the end user has checked this sort of thing for themselves before coming to IRC :P [14:55] or at least, one used to be able to assume [14:55] to get precise, this must have to do with that NAME_REGEX variable. where is that set? [14:56] is there is any way to identify the issue or because of which reason system is heating at this level? [14:56] i m using gnome3.4 with ubuntu12.04 [14:56] does anyone know of a 13.04 that supports both the minimal install and uefi booting? [14:56] *13.04 iso [14:57] blazemore: I assume little :( [14:57] ashish_: you can try using top to see what process is using the most CPU [14:57] ashish_: I'm assuming it's the CPUs that are overheating [14:58] blazemore: /query for a good story --> [14:58] gnome cell is using 50-60, it may be the reason of heating? [14:58] thanks for the help, linux_hacks!!! [14:59] you're welcome. [14:59] hmm, I found the /etc/adduser.conf file, but adding the dot into the character list didn't help. [14:59] ashish__: If that process is using the most CPU, I would say that's the cause [15:00] so what can i do to check it?????? [15:01] Ace[Laptop]: can you switch it off? [15:01] ubuntu11.10 was woring very well with my system [15:01] ashish__: is that the name of the process as it appears in top? [15:01] ashish__: What laptop are you on? [15:02] Okitain: switching it off will disable a feature I'd like to test, intel's rapid start [15:02] dell m101z === felsefe is now known as ASSA [15:02] Okitain: it also signficantly increases my boot time [15:02] saiarcot895, i didnt get what u r asking and how to check === ASSA is now known as A-S-A [15:03] Ace[Laptop]: you can try to install ubuntu and then retroactively switch the efi bootloader on. [15:03] ashish__: open a terminal and type in top; the process using the most CPU will appear at the top, and the name of the process will appear on the right side [15:03] Okitain: that's an interesting thought [15:04] saiarcot895,_ ya its gnome cell [15:04] Okitain: I wonder how up to date this is --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Converting_Ubuntu_into_EFI_mode === A-S-A is now known as ASA` [15:05] Ace[Laptop]: seems good enough as it has SecureBoot in. [15:06] actually, changing the value in /etc/adduser.conf has no effect at all... how so? [15:06] mar77i: "man /etc/adduser.conf" [15:07] ashish__: I can't find anything about gnome_cell or gnome-cell on the internet [15:07] Okitain: I guess that's my best option, it's a bit disappointing that the real installer isn't flexible enough to just install a minimal system if requested [15:07] ashish__: the only suggestion I have is to kill the process, either from within top or by using pkill [15:07] sorry its gnome-shell [15:07] Okitain: I'm a bit surprised ubuntu needs more than one install iso at all, other distros manage to do one that supports all the different install types [15:07] Ace[Laptop]: if you want, you can turn to the dark side and just use Fedora. [15:08] ashish__: that makes more sense [15:08] i m really very sorry [15:08] Okitain: I can't stand the package management [15:08] ashish__: in that case, don't kill the process [15:08] blazemore: funny [15:08] sudo apt-get install packagename [15:08] mar77i: I wasn't trying to be funny...? [15:10] blazemore: /etc/adduser.conf contains a default regex with a backslashed end of line anchor \$... but it looks like the shell doesn't try to expand a dollar char at the end of the string leaving the backslash in there and passing the actual "...\$" to the regex engine which then expects user names to end with '$'... [15:10] Ace[Laptop]: There is Mageia, openSUSE, etcetera... [15:10] ashish__: I'm guessing it has something to do with graphics [15:10] ashish__: can you run "glxinfo | grep direct" and tell me what it says? [15:11] Really, I can't help but feel it's all a clusterfuck done specifically so that linux would have trouble. [15:11] hey guys [15:11] Okitain: those are all rpm based, the only non-ubuntu I've considered is debian [15:11] is there a way to download torrents off the cli? [15:11] DarkDex: sure, transmission has a cli interface [15:11] saiarcot895, the glxinfo not installed [15:11] blazemore: my current regex in /etc/adduser.conf line 85: NAME_REGEX="^[a-z][-a-z0-9_.]*$" # works [15:11] !language > Okitain [15:11] Okitain, please see my private message [15:11] Okitain: and if I use debian, I lose all the PPA stuff [15:11] ActionParsnip: Is it ok if I pm you man? [15:12] DarkDex: sure, ive not done it but I know it can be done [15:12] ashish__, install mesa-utils [15:12] DarkDex: there is also rtorrent. [15:12] DarkDex: deluge has a cli too, also, rtorrent is an awesome command-line-only program [15:12] BluesKaj, ya i m installing [15:13] saiarcot895, direct rendering: Yes [15:14] GL_EXT_copy_buffer, GL_EXT_copy_texture, GL_EXT_direct_state_access, [15:14] hi === ASA` is now known as A-S-A [15:14] i am a java developer and want to contribute to open source [15:14] let me know a good entry point [15:15] vaka: try forking TuxGuitar. [15:15] ashish__: not sure what it is then [15:15] vaka: contact projects using java and offer your services [15:15] ashish__: do you have nividia or amd/ati graphics or intel graphics? [15:15] Maybe not so much of "entry" but at least it needs it. [15:16] alis --list #host [15:16] saiarcot895, its ati/amd [15:16] i am not sure which projects i can get into [15:16] can you give me a link where i can register [15:16] ashish__: you can try installing the proprietary drivers to see if that changes anything [15:17] if any [15:17] hello , is their any IRC for support on free-web host ? I found problem in sign up . [15:17] ashish__: I believe you have to go into Software Sources, into the Additional Drivers tab, and install the drivers there [15:17] saiarcot895, i have already installed fglrx drivers [15:18] ashish__: did you have the same problem before installing the fglrx drivers? [15:19] saiarcot895, ya i have same problem before it [15:22] ashish__: not sure what it is then, sorry about that [15:23] ashish__: what were you using in 11.10? gnome2? === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman === VD is now known as Guest92811 [15:27] it was unity [15:27] sory that time i was new in linux [15:28] it was default disply manager. [15:28] ashish__: im just going to propose you might have a "better" experience in something that doesnt require 3d.. such as xfce/xubuntu [15:29] holstein, its surely prob of gnome? [15:30] ashish__: i didnt say, or mean to imply that [15:30] ashish__: its likely related to the graphics driver support,, where you are troubleshooting.. and, you may not get support for your device for inux [15:30] holstein, i just asked because i like gnome. if there is no alternate way that i have to use lxde [15:30] ashish__: if you have tried all the drivers that are available [15:31] ashish__: the alternative is to purchase hardware with better linux support [15:31] ashish__: lxde/lubuntu doesnt require 3d either [15:31] holstein, this laptop was shipped with ubuntu10.10 only [15:32] ashish__: what were the support terms? have you tried all the drivers available? [15:32] holstein, so i dont think drivers should be the issue [15:33] ashish__: if you have tried all the drivers, and they are not acceptable, then the drivers *are* the issue [15:33] how do you set your mouse-buttons so you can click on the top border of a window to send it to the back of other windows? [15:33] ya i installed fresh driver now it shows VISA 880 [15:33] ashish__: vesa [15:33] ? [15:33] on boot, linux hangs there: [ 2.601529] drivers/rtc/hctosys.c: unable to open rtc device (rtc0) [15:33] then waits for a long time [15:34] it shows in system setting, overview VISA:RS880M [15:35] drasko_: Like I said, show me your bootchart [15:35] ashish__: is the performance acceptable? i wouldnt worry much about the labels [15:35] How can I find out the chipset of my bluetooth? It is built into the motherboard, it is not a usb adapter. [15:35] netlar: lspci [15:36] blazemore, this bootchart does not tell me much. Where can I send it ? [15:36] holstein, performance is ok, only heatin issue but its too much now 98C [15:36] drasko_: However you want... I like imgur [15:36] blazemore: Not sure which one it is from this list [15:36] netlar: They should be named by date/time - just send me the most recent one [15:37] ashish__: that might be as good as it gets.. you can ask the product vendor for more specific support, or try and file a bug with the creator of the driver you are using [15:37] ashish__: i would try and confirm that that is the tempreature.. could be reporting the temp incorrectly [15:37] ashish__: i have an invidia card that gets hot, and i deal with it, since i want to use linux [15:37] i m using lm sensor fr it [15:38] blazemore: Here: http://pastebin.com/27He60Fi [15:38] ashish__: sure.. and im not saying its reporting incorrectly, but it could be [15:39] holstein, so i have to file bug. no other solution right now? [15:39] can I write ubuntu app for ubuntu phone with python? [15:39] ashish__: have you tried all the drivers available for your device? [15:39] netlar: Looks like you have the AR9462 wireless module, which is manufactured by Atheros, and provides both WiFi and Bluetooth on your motherboard. [15:39] holstein, ya i have tried [15:39] ashish__: what device, and what is the prob [15:40] ashish__: aldo, dont assume its getting hot from one source [15:40] whoever, its del m101z with ubuntu12.04, gnome desktop, fglrx drivers for ati/amd [15:40] blazemore: thanks, Is there a driver for it? [15:41] Hi, trying to install nvidia drivers using this guide: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html but I followed all the way to modprobe bit and it tells me nvidia_update is missing. am I missing something? [15:41] ashish__: you have tried what? [15:41] holstein, yaa that what i want to know, only one reason should nt be [15:41] ashish__: so what is the card model [15:41] ashish__: i dont understand "holstein, yaa that what i want to know, only one reason should nt be" [15:41] blazemore, http://imgur.com/uWLo8HF [15:42] amd readon 4000series [15:42] blazemore: Think I found it [15:42] netlar: What version of Ubuntu are you using? [15:42] ashish__: have you tried the ppa steam suggests? have you tried 13.04? have you tried just using the open driver? why are you not using the opensource driver? [15:42] holstein: he's on the fglrx proprietary drivers, and he had the same problem with the opensource driver [15:42] something is wrong with my apt-get, i get this error message i need to run `apt-get -f install` [15:42] saiarcot895: heat [15:42] ? [15:42] ashish__: did you use the legacy fglrx ppa? [15:42] holstein, only display drivers are may not be the reason fr this much heating [15:43] How do I flush dns on ubuntu? [15:43] holstein: yes [15:43] but when i do that i get 'dpkg returned error' [15:43] blazemore I am on 13.04 [15:43] error code 1 [15:43] ashish__: i have 2 machines here where only the display driver are the issue for the heat [15:43] afflicto: restart networking is one way, or reset dnsmasq [15:43] blazemore: I think it is the driver ath9k [15:43] holstein: based on top, the process taking the most CPU is gnome_shell [15:43] ActionParsnip, ya i used [15:44] ActionParsnip: reset dnsmasq? [15:44] netlar: It is [15:44] blazemore: I do not see it in synapic [15:44] ubuntu13.04 xserver doesnt support my driver sp i downgrade to 12.04 [15:44] ashish__: amd /vision tek cards in my experience will run hotter then you expect, it got to whare i had so many other probs with those cards i had to go to nvidex [15:45] ashish__: 12.04 is not supporting your driver.. have you tried the ppa? or 13.04 first hand? [15:45] afflicto: sudo service dnsmasq restart [15:45] ashish__: 12.04 is LTS anyway, much better iimho [15:45] hi,all [15:45] Agreed [15:45] ashish__: if the vendor of your product does not support you, then you will need to experiment and troubleshoot [15:45] blazemore: I am on this page: http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/Atheros [15:46] ashish__: you could try an xorg.conf file to specify settings in the x server [15:46] blazemore: But should it be in the repository? [15:46] netlar: Generally you should try to find Ubuntu-specific solutions. Is your problem that your wireless is working but your bluetooth isn't? [15:46] holstein, fisrt i use 13.04. in that no proper driver or fglrx driver support is there as fglrx not upgraded with new xorg so i downgrade to 12.04 and installed fglrrx [15:47] ashish__: if you had "proper" 12.04 support, you wouldnt be here [15:47] blazemore: yes exactly, nothing pairs up with the bluetooth [15:47] ashish__: have you tried the PPA that steam suggests? [15:47] netlar: Are you dual-booting with Windows? [15:47] blazemore: No I am not [15:47] ActionParsnip, how to do that [15:47] netlar: Does your laptop have a hardware switch for bluetooth? [15:48] ashish__: with lots of cursing and swearing [15:48] holstein,please explain. i used ppa for installing drivers [15:48] blazemore: this is a desktop, no switch [15:48] ashish__: its a very well documented file [15:48] ashish__: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve#AMD.2BAC8-ATI_Graphics [15:48] Hi, trying to install nvidia drivers using this guide: http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/ubuntu-ringtail-nvidia.html but I followed all the way to modprobe bit and it tells me nvidia_update is missing. am I missing something? [15:49] holstein, i also called dell, i got the response that we ship laptop with ubuntu but dont provide any support for it [15:49] !nvidia | tyteen4a03 this is the guide i use [15:49] tyteen4a03 this is the guide i use: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [15:49] Hello; I have a question about files or lines that can protect or override settings files. Example: in the ambience theme, I always want "colorize scrollbar" changed from false to true, and I hate having to manually do it every time that theme file has been replaced during an update. [15:50] holstein, oh thank you, will have a look [15:50] Other example: I hate the shine on the launcher icons and have made icons that are blank. But they keep getting replaced during updates [15:50] tyteen4a03: once you have nvidia-current installed just reboot. I assume you do not have a switchable GPU [15:51] MoPac: i would try and find the config and back it up [15:51] ActionParsnip, please give me the link of that file [15:51] !xorgconf [15:51] The /etc/X11/xorg.conf file is deprecated, but sometimes may still be needed to pass values to specific drivers. Generic xorg.conf generation: http://ubottu.com/y/xorgconf - ATI/AMD ( fglrx driver ) specific: http://ubottu.com/y/atiamd - NVidia ( nvidia driver )specific: http://ubottu.com/y/nvidia man xorg.conf for file structure and syntax. [15:51] ashish__: ^ [15:51] MoPac: Make a copy of the themes you are editing, and call them MyTheme or MyIcons or whatever, then the updates won't overwrite them [15:52] ashish_: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/ [15:53] blazemore: holstein: I guess I was hoping that it might be possible to just protect certain files or certain lines of settings while letting updates work on other ones. I didn't want to lock myself into today's version of everything forever if I could help it [15:53] blazemore: So ath9k was merged into the kernal. That is why I do not see a seperate package for it? [15:53] netlar: Yes, ubuntu includes the ath9k module by default [15:54] ActionParsnip, oh yes, I don't [15:54] Hi everybody [15:54] ActionParsnip, in that case, thanks [15:54] blazemore: holstein: I do have backups of my edited images and notes about my edited lines so that I can redo them when needed, but it's just gotten to be a pain [15:54] MoPac: blazemore 's suggestion sounds like the first thing i would try... then make copies as needed of the config to recover [15:54] blazemore: huh, so bluetooth on my system should be supported [15:54] ActionParsnip: Still have the problem [15:54] netlar: Yeah, should be... which makes it more difficult to diagnose [15:55] !bluetooth | netlar I assume you've been through this? [15:55] netlar I assume you've been through this?: For instructions on how to set up bluetooth, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BluetoothSetup [15:55] blazemore: Does it matter that it is 4.0? [15:55] netlar: What is 4.0, sorry? [15:55] fugutive221: if you direct the specifics of the "problem" to the entire channel, other volunteers may be able to help [15:55] blazemore: My bluetooth [15:55] Is 4.0 a bluetooth protocol version? (Sorry I don't know much about bluetooth itsself) [15:55] another issue - My cursor is flashing when I point to some locations, how do I fix that? [15:55] blazemore, yes [15:55] I have the following problem: I installed 13.04 and after a month the touchpad stopped working. How to solve this ? [15:56] blazemore: Yes, latest protocol [15:56] fugutive221: You almost certainly disabled the touchpad by accident, by hitting a keyboard shortcut (usually Fn + a function key) [15:56] blazemore: Maybe I need to install the bluez package? [15:57] fugutive221: i would try a live CD to be sure the hardware isnt broken.. i would try booting an older kernel, if an update seems to have broken it.. i agree blazemore ^^ about confirming the on/off switch [15:57] blazemore: I tryed that and it didn't solve the problem [15:57] netlar: bluez is just an application for managing bluetooth connections I believe... You could certainly try installing it [15:57] fugutive221: Does the trackpad work if you boot from a LiveCD? [15:57] fugutive221: were you able to use your touchpad with live cd ? [15:57] fugutive221: Or any other OS on your machine? [15:57] blazemore: Just those instructions sent by the bot talks about it [15:57] holstein: I tried a live USB and have the same problem (even with lower versions such as: 12.10) [15:57] Hello: [15:57] OK fugutive221 what model of laptop is it? [15:58] I have a question if someone is available to help. [15:58] Ace544..just shoot [15:58] fugutive221: then, the issue is not related to the operating system, it seems. if no other OS sees it, or a live CD [15:58] Thanks linux_hacks! [15:58] blazemore: it´s a Toshiba Satellite P870-335 [15:58] holstein: the touchpad works fine in Windows [15:59] another issue - My cursor is flashing when I point to some locations, how do I fix that? [15:59] I wrote to a USB flash Drive the Ubuntu OS and I installed it. Now I can't access my flash drive to use it for my files. How do I fix it? [15:59] why does Windows share keep asking me for credentials? [15:59] nothing works, even I supplied Windows username and password :| [15:59] Ace544: You can use the Disk utility in Ubuntu to format the flash drive [15:59] fugutive221: but, you cant get any live CD to use it? [16:00] holstein: I could try [16:00] fugutuve221: were you able to enable and disable in Mouse options ? [16:00] holstein: but has it another effect than a live USB?

[16:00] fugutive221: when i read "I tried a live USB and have the same problem (even with lower versions such as: 12.10)" that made me think you have tried live CD's [16:00] ActionParsnip, yes it does, I used it but it doesn't work [16:01] fugutive221: honestly speaking the flash drive should be able to show as any USB stick [16:01] the list of files [16:01] holstein: No I tried live USB [16:01] Ubuntu share works perfectly with it though [16:01] fugutive221: oh.. i see.. you are tring USB and i said CD.. that is irrelevant.. the live environment was waht i was going for.. USB/cd.. whatever [16:01] sorry that was meant to Ace544 [16:02] blazemore: where should I paste it?

[16:32] Nmbr1: Yes. I can. I have determined that it is Ubuntu specific, and that it might be because of my Realtek chip [16:32] anyone any ideas about extremely slow boot process ? [16:33] k1l_: is it system load indicator? [16:33] opsss: you have to click on open space in the panel to add a new applet (you can't alt+right click another applet, because that shows different options) [16:33] opsss, The video I saw had the user adding apps like gnome 2, but honestly gnome 2 is dead, and adaptation is why we are not roaming the savannah with spears. ;) [16:34] krz: indicator multiload [16:34] I have a memory-intensive python program that uses subprocess.Popen to spawn subprocesses.

[16:35] krz: see this: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/06/indicator-multiload-update-brings.html [16:35] nedbat, you probably chose the wrong channel, have you tried #python ? [16:35] skutr34: which realtek chip do you have? [16:36] Nmbr1: I cannot recall. What is the command? [16:36] ezra-s: I have, but it's the fork() call that's running out of memory.

[16:51] explodes: what's your end goal, are you trying to install? rescue a system? etc. [16:51] nedbat: would depend on the question I suppose [16:53] trism: I thought fork() would mark pages as copy-on-write, because usually an execve is about to happen, so they'll never need to be actually copied. Clearly, that's a naive understanding, because something else is happening here. Can you explain the fuller picture?

[16:53] whats backbo [16:53] x [16:54] backbox, none of that is supported here. [16:54] backbox 3.05 [16:54] nedbat: it is not necessarily about copy-on-write, the kernel still need to allocate structures during the fork which takes memory too [16:54] is a pentest tool [16:55] trism: but I assume that memory is relatively small, no?

[16:58] nedbat: yes you could try setting it to 1 and see what happens [16:59] nedbat: may not work too well [16:59] trism: understood (and assumed!) :) [16:59] trism: thanks [17:00] why isnt postgres 9.2 available in ubuntu package manager (apt-get)? === onder`_ is now known as onder` [17:02] Where is the panel to set the mouse acceleration? [17:02] krz, Think about that question for a momoent. [17:02] wilee-nilee: done [17:02] lol [17:03] Hello everyone [17:03] febLey, Might it be mouse & touchpad? [17:03] anyone having issues having to delete cookies to get into facebook with the 12.04.2 LTS? [17:04] On both firefox and chrome. [17:04] krz, you could have a look at the ubuntu update policy if you want https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates [17:04] wilee-nilee not there anymore =/ [17:04] febLey, what release? [17:04] 13.04 [17:04] and desktop [17:04] Trying to upgrade a package. "apt-cache policy " shows "Installed: 1.85-001, Candidate 1.85-002", but "apt-get install --reinstall " tries to reinstall 001 instead of upgrading to 002. I've never seen this behavior before, can anyone tell me what might be causing it? [17:04] sure [17:04] febLey, Hmm it's in mine [17:05] i only have pointer speed and double click [17:05] Zal, try cleaning your package cache and then retry, by giving: sudo apt-get clean [17:05] kostkon: ty [17:06] febLey, pointer speed is acceleration I believe it is just very developed I think. [17:06] kostkon, thanks, same result though, apt-get install uses the older package. [17:06] so im playing a game online and got to a certain point and a message from adobe popped up asking to allow or deny to save information on my computer. so for some reason i can't click on allow or deny! what do i do [17:07] wilee-nilee hmm [17:07] Zal, are you getting any errors when trying to isntall your updates? sudo apt-get upgrade [17:07] seems like this is it [17:07] febLey, sorry not very developed [17:07] krz, look for postresSQL in the software center [17:08] wilee-nilee but can't i set the mouse sensivity seperate from the acceleration? [17:08] kostkon, I haven't tried "upgrade" yet, just "install --reinstall". What confuses me is that "install --reinstall" has always upgraded for me in the past, as far as I know. [17:09] kostkon, that said, this is a new version of ubuntu for me, so apt-get may be acting differently than I expect [17:09] krz, my mistake , postgresSQL , rather [17:09] febLey, Not sure really, not an area I have had to tweak that often. [17:09] Zal, maybe there are some dependency problems with that package [17:10] Zal, try doing a sudo ap-get update and then try again [17:10] kostkon, could be, but in my case no attempt is made to install the new package at all. I did "update" a few times already, and "apt-cache policy" does see the newer candidate. [17:11] Zal, that's strange yeah [17:11] Zal, is the newer version coming from the same repo? [17:11] kostkon, ok, well thanks for verifying the strangeness :-) Yes, same repo, same priority, later version number. === picca__ is now known as picca [17:12] Zal, official ubuntu repo? then you could try changing your mirror [17:12] so im playing a game online and got to a certain point and a message from adobe popped up asking to allow or deny to save information on my computer. so for some reason i can't click on allow or deny! what do i do [17:12] kostkon, no, this is my own repo, custom package [17:13] jman074: ive seen that same issue [17:13] Zal, oh. then i suppose you need to check again what deps have you set for that package [17:13] appears to be an adobe bug [17:13] danielboston26 any luck with it [17:13] kostkon, well, the thing is, those deps are never checked because apt never tries to install it [17:13] jman074: its happened to me on mac and windows [17:13] can you x11 forward mac applications? [17:14] Zal, and if they are satisfiable by taking into account the package vers in the repos and in your own repo [17:14] Zal, hmm [17:14] wierd, right? [17:14] jman074: the only way ive found around it is to change premissions in the adobe preferances [17:14] Zal, nevertheless, i believe something is wrong with your pacakge ;) [17:14] jman074: is there such a thing on linux? [17:14] jman074: on the mac its in system preferances === miro is now known as Guest38853 [17:15] danielboston26 ive told it to allow but other then that i don't know. [17:15] jman074: it could be the same on windows it might be a website [17:15] kostkon, there *is* something wrong with the older package, that's why I rebuilt it and tried to install the new one. Maybe something about that confused debconf/apt. (I've also purged debconf for that package) [17:15] jman074: so you mean a flash game¿ the inability to check those buttos is a fix that is never gonna be fixed; you can install adobe-flashplugin fron software center wich install a gtk settings manager for flash [17:15] Zal, hmm [17:15] jman074: can you click cancel? [17:16] danielboston26 i can't click anything [17:16] Zal, so both are coming from your own repo [17:16] t only wants to save cookies to your system [17:16] kostkon, yes [17:16] jman074: if you can get into adobe preferances either allow all or tell it to stop bothering you [17:16] jman074: thats how i fixed it [17:16] kostkon, and apt-cache policy sees both! [17:17] definitely losing some beard over this one [17:17] jman074: you can try complaining to adobe but idk how succesful you will be [17:17] jman074: that bug has been around fore awhil [17:17] Zal, try killing the old one :P [17:17] Zal, remove it from your repo [17:17] danielboston26 im looking at my options in there again. theres suppose to be a way you can manually select the allow button but pushin something with tab then hit enter but i don't remember [17:17] jman074: do you know if you have the current vesion of flash? [17:17] Zal, oh what am i saying sorry [17:18] kostkon, hm, that actually worked: removing the package and then running apt-get install got me the new package [17:18] Zal, eer i don't know what else to suggest. i havent really setup my own repo, apart from using ppas [17:18] nutty [17:19] kostkon, thanks for your help, I'm not sure I understand what's going on, but some progress is better than none :-) [17:19] Zal, lol it was simple after all [17:19] Zal, indeed === err-or_ is now known as err-or [17:19] yeah, but I need to upgrade in place as well. I'll have to figure out what happened somehow. [17:20] perhaps if the older package doesn't fail to install then the new one will be used next time. [17:20] Zal, probably [17:20] kostkon, cool, appreciate the conversation/debugging [17:20] Hey. I'm having an odd problem with a fresh install of 13.04 on a new laptop. [17:21] Zal, no probs :) [17:21] BenjaminRH: Whats that [17:21] When I boot up, Ubuntu skips showing grub at all, and the screen goes black. If I close the lid (to put it to sleep) then wake it up again, everything works fine. [17:22] I've got an nvidia discrete card and an integrated intel one, with optimus, which might be a culprit. Bumblebee can't seem to find the card and nothing shows up in additional drivers, but lspci finds it [17:22] BenjaminRH: i like to call that a "work-around" ;) [17:23] What going on with the ubuntu.com website? It soooo slow. All others respond quickly [17:23] well.. Nvidia card has problem but it shouldn't be problem with Ubuntu atleast [17:23] BenjaminRH: you'll need to purge whatever PA's to do an constructive support here.. you might prefer to just go with the bumblebee team [17:23] has anybody tried beaker test automation tool in ubuntu [17:23] holstein: PA? [17:24] BenjaminRH: ppa's [17:24] holstein: this is another fresh install, it shouldn't have any [17:25] BenjaminRH: i didnt know bumblebee was added to the repos, sorry [17:25] ah [17:26] oh hang on [17:28] I take that back. It seems I did add x-swat [17:28] hello [17:28] Alright. Let me reinstall and try that again [17:28] how can i configure my wireless in ubuntu 13.04????

[17:53] anonee, What release and what desktop?

Funny question, can I install Ubuntu without X at all? [17:55] no [17:55] as a server yes [17:55] anonee: the right click to mess with items in the Applications menu was removed a while ago, now it is just a regular menu, and you can right click all of those [17:56] randomperson3089, There are a ton of light desktops if that is your general goal. [17:57] bhearsum, so what is your network issue and how does it relate to dns ? [17:57] trism I've heard the same but for the panel, now I have to ++right-click to modify or delete something, but even this is not working on menu items :( [17:57] BluesKaj: my issue is that i'd like to know what dns servers are actually being used to resolve things === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [17:59] bhearsum, check /etc/resolv.conf [17:59] BluesKaj: that points at 127.0.1.1, which is dnsmasq...

So no announcement? :'( [18:08] trism I've gone through all the inheritance way but no joy, I'm dealing with a special case, but what about the page link you sent I'm new to this, is it a script that I can use to add back that function? === jack is now known as Guest21293 [18:08] #help [18:09] anonee: no that's just the commit that removed the functionality, it would technically be possible to add it back, but I think it would still be broken for gtk3 so not much use without further work [18:10] anonee: which icon are you looking for? [18:11] trism it's called minbar it's for prayer times [18:12] wilee-nilee: as you can see.... I *did* ask my question. [18:12] SuperLag, No that was a poll, and off topic.

[18:23] arc__: there should be a log in /var/ you can use to get them back [18:23] arc__, How did you upgrade? [18:23] medoo, also make sure the iso you're using is a liveCD [18:23] medoo: if the stick is bad, or the iso is bad, the software wont "fix" it [18:23] reisio, how do I do If I want to put everything on lvm? [18:23] ok [18:23] i use a live usb and the upgrade install [18:23] manually, no doubt [18:23] reisio: that's going to suck for him. :) [18:24] yeah, but so will wasting time doing multiple installs, too [18:24] where in /var/ will the log be [18:24] reisio: agreed [18:24] Hello everyone, quick question: I'm installing Ubuntu on a netbook that has two ssd disks: one with 4GB and another with 8GB. Can I create two logical partitions with the two disks both with mount point on / ? [18:24] arc__, I guess there is s option to save your stuff, I am not sure of it myself, are you backed up? [18:24] reisio, do you mean choose the volume for / manually? [18:25] if this help it said in the upgrade unable to restore packages [18:25] holstein : i'm trying now , thanks for resonable answer...

However sda still needs to use the vanilla win bootloader [18:47] wilee-nilee beleive me it's not wubi!!!!! [18:47] hermatize, That is considered spam to the channel, and very off topic. [18:47] Taek they're arabic programs mostly. for example there's one program called Quran searcher it works great on XP and 7, and I wanna make it work here, I'm trying hard to make it work on wine because you know it's gonna be the same system, not a virtual environment, however, I compared vmware to vbox under windows XP and 7 hosts and I have to say vmware is a lot faster, I like vbox's options and flexibility, and the ease of use more than vmware but vmware is stil [18:47] l better because it's really faster I don't know what they're doing exactly but it's a great work [18:48] my biggest concern is that there doesnt appear to be XP drivers for BCM4352, so if it doesn't work, I can't even use ndiswrapper :/ [18:48] devmedo: I agree with you there is no wubi for 13.04 etc, but just thought could it be possible to upgrade -d a 12.04 wubi install ? [18:48] devmedo: just a thought, but you are correct [18:48] tlopez nvm, it's no longer in the repos, just tried [18:48] Sazpaimon: just try it, friend.. you should be able to load that module on the live CD [18:48] holstein, I'll have to build it actually [18:48] sveinse, then remove the sda disk , then use you live media ubuntu disk or usb stick and run sudo grub-install /dev/sdb , then when you reinsert the the removable drive , do sudo update -grub in ubuntu [18:49] devmedo, Right, however you described a install in windows that would be a wubi. What I am trying to do here is disciver exactly what type of install you want that is the jist here, then we can move to installing. [18:49] the bcm43xx has alot of info on that chipset via BackTrack. they actually explain it well. please excuse the distro reference [18:49] discover* [18:49] it is ubuntu based however [18:49] bcmwl 6.30.223.30 is staged to be in 13.10, which of course isnt out yet, so i'll need to backport it [18:50] Sazpaimon: there are live 13.10 iso's i would try as a test for that before doing too much work [18:50] mjayk : wubi in 12.04 not working correctly the in-folder iso trick is not working , i mean that i've downloaded also 12.04 LTS iso [18:51] looks like it was published into saucy 19 days ago, so I'm guessing a nightly livecd will give me an answer then [18:51] mjayk, There is a wubi for 13.04, the both of you are misinformed, and might ask proper questions to get actual help. [18:51] wilee-nilee: there is not im sorry [18:51] i'll see in a couple weeks, getting it from china so I'll have to wait for it to arrive [18:52] mjayk: i would do what i would do for *any* upgrade.. make proper backups, and be prepared for failure [18:52] wilee-nilee give me the download! [18:52] holstein: i dont understand you sorry [18:52] is there a good way to create video out of images? [18:53] spillere: Do you mean like a photo slideshow? Or a fast movie where each image is one frame? [18:53] mjayk: i thought you were asking if you can upgrade a 12.04 if it is a wubi install? correct? [18:53] devmedo, http://releases.ubuntu.com/raring/ mjayk look at the bottom link. [18:53] holstein: yes so someone thought they installed 13.04 via wubi :), that was my thought [18:53] ok , i'll try and answer you [18:53] mjayk: no matter what answer i read, or get here, from anyone, i would backup my data, on *any* installation of any OS before upgrading [18:54] blazemore: a time lapse video. i was trying ffmpeg, but iy says its deprecated [18:54] blazemore: and cant find a command to do it [18:54] mjayk: the upgrade should work, but you should always have a backup and plan for failure [18:54] holstein: sorry i dont see how anything to do with data backing regardless of the installation type relates in any way to my question lol [18:55] mjayk, Ubuntu officailly does not support the 13.04 wubi, however they asked for those that would, the user bcbc the only real helper in that app slipped that in for 13.04. [18:55] mjayk: whats the question? can you upgrade you 12.04 intall? sure.. and you are encouraged to backup, regardless of wubi or not [18:55] BluesKaj: I ran grub-install on /dev/sdb and booted into ubuntu. I didn't have to run update-grub to get it to work. Does this imply that update-grub never decides on installing MBR and bootloaders anywhere, it merely updates grub.cfg? [18:55] mjayk: there will be no "sure, you are guaranteed success with your wubi install of 12.04.. nothind bad will happen" [18:56] BluesKaj: So thanks [18:56] holstein: the question was - can you upgrade wubi 12.04 to 13.04 , the answer would be yes, no , maybe [18:56] spillere, tried this? https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/photofilmstrip/ [18:56] mjayk: the answer is the same as it it were *any* os.. have backups and do the upgrade [18:56] wilee-nilee it gave me " the request not supported " [18:56] haha kostkon I was just about to link that [18:56] kostkon: i only have access to the terminal :) [18:56] blazemore, :P [18:56] holstein: the answer has nothing to do with backups :) === allen is now known as Guest22086 [18:56] mjayk: "can" is not eh problem.. you are looking for a "this wont break" answer [18:56] spillere: ffmpeg will work [18:56] the* [18:56] is this a good place to get some ubuntu firefox flash player help?

[18:57] spillere, apt-cache policy photofilmstrip? what does it say? also check apt-cache policy videoporama [18:57] mjayk: so, whats the issue with the 13.04 install? [18:57] spillere, oh you mean no gui right [18:58] wilee-nilee : so there's alternative to wubi? [18:58] devmedo, For best help on it though stsrt a thread at the ubuntu forums with wubi in the header and bcbc will drop by your best helper in it. [18:58] to make along side windows 7 [18:58] kostkon: yeah, only ssh into terminal :) [18:58] wilee-nilee ; anyforu ms don't help [18:58] devmedo: yes there is [18:58] reisio : plzz what? [18:58] mjayk: the upgrade obviously worked, and you are trying to see if the upgrade caused the issue? it could have, and not had anything to do with the wubi.. there is not enough information to say [18:58] devmedo: The normal Ubuntu installer can resize your Windows partition and install Ubuntu into the newly created free space [18:58] devmedo: why not just install Ubuntu the normal way? [18:59] when i come to step 3 and countinue and reboot and doesn't install!! [18:59] devmedo: the normal way that happens? [18:59] yes [18:59] i have put it on there http://askubuntu.com/questions/321990/packages-gone-in-upgrade [18:59] and i've checked md5 [18:59] that sounds like a fundamental problem with your hardware and the installer, then [19:00] so, I'm moving to a new computer, different particular make and model. Is there a reason to do somethign different than copying over my whole /home folder? Are there certain settings I might not want copied over? [19:00] basically no matter what installation process you use, it all ends up using the same scripts [19:00] devmedo, Yes the alongside is standard, however you really want to have a unallocated space first by using the windows partitioner the disk mange to resize windows. But there are limitations on types and amounts of partitions on a single HD, so to get to the matter directly boot the live cd take a screen shot of gparted and imagebin it. This is for a standard install not a wubi. [19:00] devmedo: what happens when you reboot? [19:00] wolftune: grab it all, and test.. and remove anything that becomes problematic [19:00] holstein: so it'll be pretty safe? [19:00] i have laptop hp pavilion g6-1151ex , core i5 , 4gb memory , 500gb hd + reisio : the windows starts [19:01] devmedo: course it does, that OS was installed by a professional who had that specific hardware in mind [19:01] Any reason to hesitate like where I know things are different, such as the wireless drivers and vid drivers? Anything in /home touch those? [19:01] devmedo: so you install Ubuntu, reboot, and only Windows boots?

Can anyone hint to me where to look for the highlighted steps? http://pastebin.com/tWL7sBfx [19:01] no ubuntu doesn't begain install [19:01] holstein: I meant not really "safe" but like, avoiding bugginess [19:01] devmedo: you'll have to be more specific [19:02] step 4 is the begain of installtion [19:02] like maybe there's advantages to trying to be picky to be clean [19:02] wolftune: if you have "buginess", remove the config, a new one will spawn, and test [19:02] but I'm pretty good, had no bugs before [19:02] Pandee: for step a, use the Start Menu/Dash and type in Software & Sources [19:02] ok, better to do it that way than to try to guess one-by-one as I move things over [19:02] thanks [19:02] step 3 is the choose of replace windows 7 , instal inside windows 7 , and the third idon't remember [19:03] wolftune: i would just put them all over, and move out things that are problematic.. [19:03] devmedo: you'll have to be more specific :/ [19:03] install^ [19:03] devmedo: "it doesn't work" is hard to debug [19:03] saiarcot895: the only thing that comes up is the Ubuntu Software Center [19:03] you've got to say at what point it doesn't work, and how [19:03] Pandee: what version are you using? [19:04] saiarcot895: 12.04 [19:04] reisio : how more specific??! , i said that when i go step 3 and click countinue , the laptop reboots [19:04] saiarcot895: LTS [19:04] step 3 i'll gave you an example for it [19:04] devmedo: try the minimal install image, then [19:04] Pandee: If you type in Software, you don't get Software Sources? [19:04] http://assets.ubuntu.com/sites/ubuntu/511/u/img/download/desktop-1204-install-4.jpg [19:05] sorry superlag connection dropped... sent you info in PM and my email if u need any help [19:05] no i can't make an original image [19:05] it's an example [19:05] saiarcot895: no i dont [19:05] and it gave me inside not alongside [19:05] devmedo: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [19:06] reisio, If I might interject devmedo has never done this and will need a helper all through this first install, there is a lot of missing underatnding.

[19:07] saiarcot895: okay, i'll give that a try [19:08] holstein: what's the best command here? I shouldn't copy over the old stuff via sudo should I? And should I do anything to first remove the existing stuff in /home from the system install? [19:08] hello XD [19:08] reisio : i'm disappointed from ubuntu linux , i thought that is more easy , i made install from 6 months but by vm.... [19:09] saiarcot895: It seems that it's installed already - "python-gasp is already the newest version." [19:09] reisio, I respect your help of course, but the user is flailing in not understanding good help to begin with a bad situation for them to make sure they still have a working OS. [19:09] saiarcot895: But when I try to import it to VIM it says it's not installed [19:09] it's not irresponsible [19:09] wolftune: you can use something like rsync.. there is a nice gui.. grsync [19:09] if you have the time to type up an explicit step-by-step tome of what he should do, by all means do so [19:09] !info grsync | wolftune [19:09] wolftune: grsync (source: grsync): GTK+ frontend for rsync.

[19:39] devmedo: i use virtualbox, and i use the GUI menu for "networking" to pass the networking connection of the host to the guest [19:39] devmedo, That does not harm, I will just put you back in ignore where you belong.

I use libivrt a great deal and what the guides recommend is you create what is called a virtual bridge. To the outside world the VM will have its own ip and mac address making it effectively as real as any stand-alone physical computer. [19:41] I'm having trought setting distcc to work...it's not finding other hosts. does anyone know why? [19:41] holstein: does i said no harmfull ? no , wilee-nilee....

[19:46] I dont suppose anyone knows how to set the physical memory ouse by a process that is run by root? I am a little stuck on this one [19:46] devmedo: recieves networking* [19:46] devmedo: you can always run the distro from a live CD or USB stick [19:47] not understanding , i mean when i connect to ubuntu the shown in ubuntu is lan not wifi [19:47] holstein: as in have in a ppa/eventually get into main repos [19:47] holstein : as we said i have problem with hardware confing [19:47] daurnimator: create a PPA, but i would go upstream to debian to get it in the repos [19:47] so ican't make ubuntu in my computer along side [19:48] devmedo: you dont need to. you can install to a USB stick, or run the distro live from USB [19:48] holstein: what I'm really asking is: theres a program currently in the repos; but I (+ my users) need it with a different set of compile time flags; would it be against the rules to have 2 variants of the one program in the official repos? [19:49] holstein : i'm taking myself to don't make harmfull words hhhhhh , in live one when i go to this step http://assets.ubuntu.com/sites/ubuntu/511/u/img/download/desktop-1204-install-4.jpg and click countine the laptop reboots , and windows starts [19:49] devmedo: we had that part, didnt we?# [19:49] daurnimator: not sure.. i would ask in a dev channel.. i think as long as the names are different for the PPA, it should work and you can test [19:49] devmedo, sounds like a flaky download, did you check the iso? [19:49] yah i checked md5 [19:50] devmedo: *dont* *install* the os.. just use it live [19:50] holstein : can i use it live with installing some programes? [19:50] OerHeks: its his windows dynamic disks that are not comaptible [19:50] devmedo: or, use a different destination to install, such as a USB drive or USB stick [19:50] devmedo: yes [19:50] i tried DVD and USB [19:50] devmedo: you can install into the live session, or create persistence, or install to USB or a USB hard drive [19:50] devmedo: not installing! [19:50] ah, maybe windows is in Fastboot. or dynamic disk, that could be it, k1l_ [19:51] devmedo: you cant use your harddisks as long as they are dynamic windows things [19:51] but, as was suggested, you could install to a USB stick or another drive [19:51] devmedo: that was explained 10 times now to you. stop asking that again [19:51] hello everyone [19:52] k1l_ firstly i didn't ask , i asked how to make wifi in guest os in vm [19:52] see the history [19:52] devmedo: no, you did ask again. [19:52] ( when i was told ) [19:52] devmedo: you dont do that.. you dont "make wifi in guest" in vm.. you just share the networking of the host OS [19:53] devmedo: you dont have to install the OS in VM or on the machine.. you can just run it live.. *not* installing *anything* [19:53] how to make wifi work " not virtual lan " [19:53] kostkon: what is a good way I can start a process as a specified user on boot? cron? [19:53] aloha.... got a Q: Ububtu 13.01 just installed.. When I choose to boot ubuntu on the bios, I get this: http://i.imgur.com/b7yVmlP.jpg [19:53] holstein : it's so slow in live [19:53] devmedo just right-click the USB devices icon in vbox guest window and the wifi will go to the guest [19:53] devmedo: you dont, friend.. that *is* your network. you bridge the connect and get a real IP [19:53] devmedo, if your host is using Wifi, your "virtual lan" uses that wifi too. [19:53] devmedo: virtualization software doesn't present "real hardware" to the guest, I know of non that would present a wireless interface [19:53] devmedo: either you make the suggested solutions or you keep it live without installing [19:53] devmedo: if you want to do penetration testing, you'll want a native solution.. such as the live CD.. or a specific live penetration testing OS [19:54] devmedo: you can do a lot of testing on your network from inside VM with a real network IP.. from a live CD.. which is a known compromise in speed [19:55] i'll try live cd , thank you [19:55] devmedo: try a live CD for a penetration OS if thats what you want... kali linux or whatever.. that is not supported here [19:56] holstein : what do you mean? [19:56] kl1 can you please explain this to me? remember the icon I tried everything to change, it finally changed by itself after 3 or 4 reboots, how can you explain that? is there an icon cash for ubuntu just like in windows? and why does all other icons refresh immediately like for example when I installed faenza icon pack or manually change an icon... any ideas? [19:56] devmedo: just what i said, friend [19:56] i'll install aircrack-ng [19:56] devmedo: its an if statement, so if the if statement applies to you, check it out [19:57] devmedo: this is not a penetration testing support channel or OS.. [19:57] what is a good pastebin cli tool? [19:57] holstein : can i install software in live cd ?

[19:58] devmedo: as i said, yes.. you can install software into the live enviroment [19:58] it starts connecting to the network and then just disconnects [19:58] tga2: was it working at any given point? [19:59] isiah_s, first time booting ubuntu on this laptop, a Samsung 5 series [19:59] devmedo: try not to ask the same questions over.. if you need to, refer back to the channel history [19:59] I did try some of the module options I found on forums, but no magical solution [19:59] holstein : ok... [19:59] tga2: ok, if you run it over ethernet does it function? [19:59] devmedo: if you want to install software and keep it a USB (with persistence) is the solution [20:00] isiah_s, I´m on ethernet now, how does that help with wifi [20:00] isiah_s, ethernet is a rtl, works fine [20:00] what? [20:00] wifi is an Atheros AR9462, not so happy [20:00] people, anybody know any alternative for vyzex and battery 3 ? i need to make use of my akai mpd26 on my linux. may anobody help me, please? [20:00] i'll try live cd [20:00] tga2: I want to make sure your conenction itself is fine. I am trying to isolate the problem down [20:00] oh, ok [20:01] lol [20:01] devmedo: are you having trouble understanding the term "persistence" ? it allows changes made to your live environment "persist" [20:01] connection is fine, the card works, sees the networks, but when I try to connect to wpa2 it does things for a while then stops [20:01] tga2: can you ping your local host? in the command like type ping 127.0.0.1 [20:01] yeah, like I said, I`m on ethernet now [20:01] devmedo: if you install into the live CD or usb, and reboot, those chages are gone.. persistence would make thos changes persist [20:01] When you do the ! with a word ubottu comes up? [20:01] logout [20:01] !bot > netlar [20:01] netlar, please see my private message [20:01] holstein: i don't want it persistence [20:01] tga2: create a second ifcfg for wifi [20:02] devmedo: do as you please - but when using a live CD (as opposed to a live USB with persistence) you will have to install/configure the software every time you boot [20:02] ok [20:02] devmedo: then, as it is also an if statement, if you dont want it, dont use it [20:02] k1l_ sorry if i bothered you [20:02] ok thank you all , i'll try [20:02] bye [20:02] isiah_s, it´s all default network manager now [20:03] tga2: I always end up removing network manager. Let me see if I can find a step-by-step guide on setting up a second ifcfg for wifi [20:04] !grub [20:04] GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [20:04] Phoenix1969: there is something wrong with your wubi install [20:04] !askthebot > suigeneris [20:04] suigeneris, please see my private message [20:05] Phoenix1969: but wubi is hard to support. i dont know if anyone knows an answer to this but in general we recommend to make a native intsall [20:05] hmm, how do I get some logs out of networkmanager? [20:05] it just tries the network for a while then gives up, it would be useful to know what it's doing [20:05] agreed...trying a desktop extraction install... [20:06] k1l_ but i'm curious, why did it take as much reboots.. it doesn't matter anyway if the answer is difficult for me, thank you all anyway. [20:06] guntbert: I thought we were allowed to do that [20:06] Phoenix1969: look if that file is actually there, I suspect it's not [20:06] looking at the error code [20:07] hey all, how do i remove the camera drivers/disable it for good on ubuntu? it autoinstalled when i was setting up ubuntu [20:07] g3org3s: could blacklist the module/s [20:07] g3org3s: lsmod, probably has 'uvc' in its name [20:07] it was not there, correct....doing another install [20:07] when Mir is shiped with the next release. How is it going to be with ati proprietary drivers ? [20:07] Hi g3org3s - Can you please paste the result of running the command "lsmod" onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and then give me the URL? Thanks [20:08] MichaelP: let me find my crystal ball [20:08] suigeneris: we usually only invoke ubottu to specific onformation to a person, if we want to investigate and try things we do it in a private message with her [20:08] MichaelP: Are AMD writing drivers for mir? [20:08] reisio it has uvcvideo on 3 lines. how can i blacklist it ? [20:09] MichaelP: lets fokus on existing issues in here. #ubuntu-mir or #ubuntu+1 for that topic would be better :) [20:09] g3org3s: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist [20:09] g3org3s: blacklist modulenamehere [20:09] blazemore: don't know thats why i was wondering if proprietary drivers was going to work with it. [20:09] MichaelP, next release is shipped with xMir, the transit version to Mir [20:10] ikonia hi again [20:10] OerHeks: is that for sure ? [20:10] What's the CLI tool with which you add/remove loopback dev nodes? [20:10] joshu: hello [20:10] why is apt-get ignoring the ppa? [20:10] mjayk, see http://fridge.ubuntu.com/2013/06/27/mir-plans-in-13-10/ [20:10] zorael: mount? [20:11] suigeneris: did you set it up proberly? [20:11] suigeneris: did you sudo apt-get update afterwards? [20:11] reisio: No, I mean adding dev nodes if there aren't enough /dev/loop*, or assigning a block file to such a node [20:11] so it looks like my card authenticates with the router, then goes 'authenticating by local choice' right away [20:11] * tga2 digs some more [20:12] zorael: sounds like udev magick [20:12] guntbert: update is ignoring it [20:12] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [20:12] I'm doing this [20:12] reisio i have: 1)videobuf2-core used by uvcvideo,videobuf2_core, 2)videobuf2_vmalloc used by uvcvideo, 3) videodev used by uvcvideo,videobuf2_core ... which one to blacklist ? [20:12] g3org3s: uvcvideo alone would probably manage it [20:12] reisio: Found it; losetup [20:13] zorael: ah, gj [20:13] reisio but i have no module called uvcvideo :s [20:13] suigeneris: !pastebin the output of sudo apt-get update please [20:13] Hi, I have windows 7 and ubuntu duel boot, http://imgbin.org/index.php?page=image&id=14555 id like to reinstall windows without affecting ubuntu (and if possible move ubuntu to start of drive) is it possible if so how? [20:14] Hi Guys [20:14] m running ubuntu 13.10 [20:14] urmysony: #ubuntu+1 channel please [20:14] hi [20:14] ikonia the lubuntu option you mentioned earlier today. wasn't clear on how and if possible I would be able to 1) update the OS remotely as if it was a "firmware image" and 2) how I would be able to update/ push or pull configuration changes [20:14] g3org3s: try it [20:14] nightdrever: yes [20:14] @inkonia Thanks [20:14] nightdrever: you can't move ubuntu to the start - windows wants to be the first partition for it's 200mb private partition, and it will need the boot sector re-installing [20:15] nightdrever: playing with partitions is not 100% safe, though, so you should make a backup first [20:15] suigeneris: can you show the whole output from the terminal in a pastebin? [20:15] guntbert: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5891935/ [20:15] k1l_ too [20:15] ok how do i delete windows and reinstall then without effecting ubuntu? [20:15] reisio blacklist command not found [20:15] suigeneris: with the commands you added the ppa [20:15] joshu: ok, so as an "image" it's not going to happen unless you netboot it, and configuration managing is up to you, sync configuration files, use a configuration tool like puppet etc, many options [20:15] g3org3s: it's a line you put into the file I mentioned [20:15] g3org3s: then reboot [20:16] ikonia: I'm not sure, but I don't think Windows needs the first partition, actually. On my machine, it's the second or third partition [20:16] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:yannubuntu/boot-repair && sudo apt-get update [20:16] suigeneris: "Hit http://ppa.launchpad.net lucid Release" [20:16] reisio ah sry will do that thanks ^^ [20:16] there it is [20:16] celroc: it makes a temporary small 200mb partition, that it likes to be the first partition on the primary disk [20:16] k1l_: but boot-repair is being ignored [20:17] k1l_: he was talking about the next one, which is indeed "Ign" [20:17] suigeneris: it doesnt name the PPA by its own [20:17] Ign http://ppa.launchpad.net/yannubuntu/boot-repair/ubuntu/ lucid/main Translation-en_US [20:17] k1l_: [20:17] ikonia: Huh. I've had Windows installed on my second partition for quite a while now without any problems that I remember [20:17] celroc: the actual install can be anywhere [20:18] ikonia ok so updating the OS would either have to be via say a USB stick which replaces the current OS install, or via the OS's own updating mechanism [20:18] suigeneris, no bootrepair in that PPA >>> https://launchpad.net/~yannubuntu/+archive/boot-repair and lucid desktop is EOL [20:18] suigeneris: what does "sudo apt-get install -y boot-repair" give you? [20:18] joshu: basically using the OS update tool, from a repository of some sort, yes [20:18] OerHeks: ah well, didnt think of that easy one [20:19] ikonia: Right, but I think I've had a Linux partition already set up as my first partition when I installed Windows, and it didn't seem to have a problem [20:19] k1l_: Couldn't find package boot-repair [20:19] celroc: there are ways around it, but it does not like the 200mb partition not being the first partition [20:19] OerHeks: I'm tryying to re-install grub [20:20] suigeneris: see OerHeks lucid is out of support for the desktop and the PPA doesnt have any package for lucis [20:20] ikonia: Hmm, Ok. I'm sorry, I'll stop bothering you about it [20:20] celroc: no need for sorry [20:20] oh that's why [20:20] celroc: valid comments [20:20] ikonia: ;-) Thanks [20:21] suigeneris: if that is a dektop you really should considering going to a supported release [20:21] [ 1782.584391] wlan0: deauthenticating from by local choice (reason=3) [20:21] ikonia: If it's any help, I think I had to (re?)install Windows 7 a while back. All I really did was format the previous NTFS (WinXP) partition and tell it to install. It worked without a hitch as far as I can tell [20:22] it looks like my card connects to the router and actually works for a bit, then just deauthenticates [20:22] ikonia the thin client project as I explained earlier..you seem very knowledgable about Ubuntu. Is it something you're capable of doing? [20:22] celroc: I don't know how that will make / have an impact [20:22] any hints on how to fix this? [20:23] joshu: errr with effort yes, but I'd look at other options too such as netbooting the OS with local persistance for example, which really would be a thin client, lots of options with pros/cons [20:24] ikonia: I don't remember any real issue with the partitions (I think I already had my Linux partitions set up, unless I'm mistaken). It didn't seem to throw any errors/problems that I can remember [20:24] ikonia is this something we could discuss more in private with compensation of course? [20:24] joshu: I think you've not %100 thought out your approach and missed a few things which would need to be addressed then it will narrow down your options a bit more, and move forward from there [20:24] k1l_: I'm on 13.04 and trying to re-install grub because I lost it [20:24] joshu: I'll discuss it a bit more in private sure, but I'm not looking for money [20:25] celroc: where did it put the 200mb partition [20:25] suigeneris: your system says its lucid [20:25] or is it an old stick/cd you are using? [20:26] ikonia: Um.... I really don't remember if it even prompted me about it. Although, now I'm wondering if my memory is wrong and if I did have to give my first partition the temporary axe.... [20:26] k1l_: I'm on livecd [20:26] celroc: it has to have one...... [20:26] ikonia what is more convenient for you, PM, Skype or something else? [20:26] ikonia: I must be mistaken, then. Or my memory is wrong [20:27] I installed xubuntu-desktop --- how do I get to a GUI desktop now? I have a text console only. [20:27] joshu: do you want to talk "now" ? [20:27] thufir: reboot? [20:27] celroc: who knows [20:27] if possible [20:27] reisio: I did [20:27] thufir: service lightdm start ? [20:27] suigeneris: in that case the best approach would be to download a Boot repair ISO and boot from that [20:27] suigeneris: no bootrepais for lucid. but you can use the "oldfashioned" methods: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RecoveringUbuntuAfterInstallingWindows [20:27] reisio: ahhh, forgot about lightdm. [20:27] joshu: pm me and we can have a short chat, then work out if any more is needed [20:29] Hey, so I think this should be obvious to me, but it isn't... Say I set a custom PATH in a bashrc script. I can then run commands from that new path, say they are located in ~/bin. which returns nothing. How do I change that? [20:29] xubuntu-desktop is xfce? [20:29] thufir: yes [20:29] thnaks [20:30] cipherboy: change what? [20:30] I have an older monitor and need to do something weird, I think, with creating a file /etc/X/...(?) to set the resolution. [20:30] before I can use xfce or other GUI desktop interface === picca_ is now known as picca [20:31] thufir: try without first [20:32] reisio: change it such that the which command searches my full custom path, not just the system global ones. [20:32] tried power management too, no dice [20:33] cipherboy: are you asking how to set a custom PATH? [20:33] reisio: ok, thanks. my old computer broke somehow, so it's a new computer with the same monitor. [20:33] seemed like you already had that bit figured... [20:33] is 10.10 EOL yet? === lux_ is now known as Guest76216 [20:34] suigeneris, Yes [20:34] reisio: No, no, I have the custom path, lol, and programs run. The problem is the which command doesn't actually search my custom path. [20:34] !10.10 [20:34] Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) was the thirteenth release of Ubuntu. !End-Of-Life on April 10th, 2012, see http://ubottu.com/y/maverick for details. [20:34] cipherboy: which command? [20:34] reisio: Here: [20:35] reisio: `which` :-) [20:35] guntbert: `type` :p [20:35] !eol | suigeneris Read if you plan to upgrade [20:35] suigeneris Read if you plan to upgrade: 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 [20:35] revagomes: http://pastebin.com/zTepq2rv [20:36] reisio, not revagomes, sorry. [20:36] suigeneris: 12.04 is the last one you can get [20:36] cipherboy: I haven't really used the Which command much, but it looks like you might want to set the PATH variable in your shell as well [20:37] Hey guys… why would this UFW rule not allow incoming ssh connections on 22 (eth1 is public)? http://pastie.org/private/mm7cfnu0dwoxtge2gzynzg [20:37] celroc: meaning? env lists the modified PATH. === mjayk is now known as mJ[away]k [20:38] cipherboy: Oh. Well, I see you've already done that. [20:38] However, the `which` command, isn't detecting it, causing scripts to break occasionally. [20:38] cipherboy: do you actually have ~/local/bin in the path, or the full path? [20:39] No, full /home/cipherboy/local/bin [20:39] cipherboy: I notice if it is using the ~ character bash can find it but which can't [20:39] cipherboy: oh don't know then, it is working fine here [20:41] trism: Odd. echo $PATH listed it, restarted lightdm and it worked. [20:42] cipherboy: Hmm.... maybe it's one of those things where the user needs to log out of that session for the change to take effect? [20:42] celroc: Usually doesn't work like that... First time I have put things in home directory, but usually when I add other paths it works. Must have been a glitch. [20:47] cipherboy: Is the path you were trying to add /home/cipherboy/local/bin or /home/cipherboy/bin? [20:48] Jordan_U: local one. [20:50] cipherboy: When you first joined your example was ~/bin/, and Ubuntu's .profile is configured to add ~/bin/ to $PATH at login (and only at login) if it exists, so if you created ~/bin/ then logged out and back in again it would make sense for binaries in ~/bin/ to now be found. [20:51] Jordan_U: Ah, sorry, whoops. [20:51] ~/bin was added earlier and works, but ~/local/bin wasn't working for whatever reason. [20:51] I had to boot into safemode (root) after installing lightdm. can I remove lightdm from safemode? [20:52] thufir: Yes, just "apt-get remove lightdm". lightdm is installed by default though, why were you needing to install it in the first place? [20:53] Jordan_U: to get xubuntu-desktop to work. after I get a graphical login screen I put in my password but get kicked out the graphical login again. From past experience with this monitor, I need to make some setting in /etc/X/... to set the resolution (low) I think. (it's a new computer) [20:57] I can't remove lightdm from safemode because the filesystem isn't read/write. how can I get a root console with read/write to the filesystem? [20:57] I'm in safemode [20:58] thufir: Boot Live CD and go into Rescue Mode [20:58] Fill out the basics and then hit escape [20:58] Choose "find hard disks" and "find disk drives" [20:58] then choose "Open shell" [20:58] explodes: I don't have a live cd, I have a thumb drive with 13.04 server version. [20:58] that works [20:58] I literally did this 2 hours ago [20:58] w/ 13.04 server [20:59] boot onto that [20:59] and follow what I said. You'll get a shell w/ root [20:59] but I want to boot into the system I installed to remove lightdm. [20:59] you can from the shell [21:00] I looked at the grub entries in rescuemode but wasn't sure how to get to text mode [21:00] Go into rescue mode [21:00] and follow what I said [21:00] I literally did this 2 hours ago === rap424_ is now known as rap424 [21:00] let me ask in a different way. in rescue mode there's an option to edit grub. how can I edit grub from rescue mode so that it boots to console? [21:02] thufir: Oh; No idea [21:02] explodes: that won't let me install/remove software, because it will be the usb stick which is effected, not the hard drive. === mJ[away]k is now known as mJayk [21:04] thufir: Just "mount -o remount,rw /" to get the root filesystem writeable. [21:05] Jordan_U: :) thanks [21:06] thufir: You're welcome. [21:07] hello === fernando is now known as Guest8067 [21:07] holaaa [21:09] Good evening. [21:09] trying to setup a gentoo guest os on my Ubuntu Server 12.04 by issuing this command: http://dpaste.com/1310930/ I get the following result: http://dpaste.com/1310936/ How do I connect to the guest os? I do not have X on my server. [21:12] sups I need helps [21:12] !details [21:12] Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [21:12] Can I prease has helps for a (probably real easy) issue? [21:12] Okay cool [21:13] I'm on Xubuntu, trying to install Minecraft on a brand new macheen [21:13] http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/minecraft-installer-for-ubuntu [21:13] But I get stuck at the following site simply because I have no idea how to install the damn installer in the first place :/ [21:13] anybody know about routing different networks? [21:13] https://launchpad.net/~minecraft-installer-peeps/+archive/minecraft-installer [21:13] install the installer? Download make it executable and run it? [21:14] Dr_willis, That's the link I'm looking for on launchpad [21:14] oh its a pps. [21:14] ppa [21:14] I just don't get it, you'd think the download link would be obvious, yeah? [21:14] You can update your system with unsupported packages from this untrusted PPA by adding ppa:minecraft-installer-peeps/minecraft-installer to your system's Software Sources. (Read about installing) [21:14] Dr_willis, would you say that's a pretty dumb idea since the thing is not trusted yeah? [21:14] You add the 'ppa' to your systems list of sources. then use the package manager tools to install what you want from the ppa [21:15] Zouavman, ppa's are used all the time. they are by definition not officially supported here. [21:15] !ppa [21:15] A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge [21:15] Hmmm so what command should I type in the command emulator thing? [21:15] sudo add-apt-repository ppa:user/ppa-name [21:15] how do i make a service to be started during boot? [21:16] using the name the site says [21:16] Thanks, I'll try this! :) [21:16] ppa:minecraft-installer-peeps/minecraft-installer [21:16] its documented at that url :) in the guide/tooltip thing [21:16] then sudo apt-get update, sudo apt-get upgrade , then sudo apt-get install minecraft-installer [21:17] then you run minecraft-installer [21:18] K I just did the first one sudo add-apt-repository ppa:...., what next? [21:18] Dr_willis, thanks btw for all yer help dawg [21:18] look at the commands i gave above... [21:18] update, upgrade, install, run the thang [21:19] oh cool, just "sudo apt-get update" works? [21:19] Thanks [21:19] I shall try === DarkAce-Z is now known as DarkAceZ [21:26] Dr_willis: It works! Thanks a ton for your help [21:26] I don't know if you're a real doctor, but damn it if you done healed my problem [21:26] Muchas [21:26] And much love [21:26] Peace :) [21:28] I upgraded my GnomeShell, using ppa, on my Ubuntu 13.04 and now my lock screen just freezes (I can unlock it by typing password, but it does not appear on screen) [21:32] [00:32] [axexandru(+i)] [3:freenode/#ubuntu(+CLcfjnt #ubuntu-unregged 5:10)] [Act: 1] [21:32] [00:32] [axexandru(+i)] [3:freenode/#ubuntu(+CLcfjnt #ubuntu-unregged 5:10)] [Act: 1] [21:34] RxDx: well, best way is to talk to the PPA maintainers === maxx is now known as Guest95145 [21:38] can anyone give me an idea of what this error means? EXT4-fs (sda1): ext4_orphan_cleanup: deleting unreferenced inode [21:38] is refering to the hard drive or ram? [21:39] Alright pretty much I want to be able to have access to the software I had paid for in the ubuntu store, what is the website where I can retrieve my password if I lost the account? [21:39] sounds like some sort of filesystem curruption on sda1 [21:39] I dont think its the same as the ubuntu forum, not sure because there was several different things. [21:39] assadsdfsd, id be fscking that filesystem to see if any errors get corrected [21:39] There was Ubuntu one and who knows what else I signed up for >.< [21:39] Dr_willis: well its a fresh install of the OS, disk ulity shows the drive to be perfect health, maybe the (ssd) is bad? [21:40] assadsdfsd, that dosent mean the filesystem does not have some curruption. [21:40] Disk can be good.. fs has issues. [21:40] fsck it and see. [21:40] Dr_willis: fsck? how to I do that? command? [21:40] saintcajetan, Might ask at #ubuntuone [21:40] !fsck [21:40] fsck is the FileSystem ChecKer, which runs automatically when you boot if you didn't shutdown cleanly. Type "man fsck" for information on running it manually. The command "sudo touch /forcefsck && sudo shutdown -r now" will force a reboot and a filesystem check; "sudo touch /fastboot" will skip a filesystem check at next reboot [21:41] Just run "fsck" naked in the terminal? [21:41] you do NOT fsck a filesystem thats in use/mounted read/write - i always use a live-cd for fscking my system. [21:41] Okay, i'll run a live usb, can you give me the full command to use? === joobz is now known as joobie [21:51] anyone knows how can i exit nano on french keyboard ? [21:52] ctrl-x or ctrl-o would be my guess [21:52] what is the default window decorator for unity? [21:52] should show the keycoded at the bottom [21:52] euxneks, that would be the gtk-decorator i belve. since theres only like 2 decorators for compiz to use. [21:52] Dr_willis lol thanks its writeen ^X .... confusing [21:53] or do you mean what THEME is it using [21:53] Dr_willis, thanks [21:53] g3kk3r, ^ = control key [21:53] no I want to make a theme [21:53] one of the many reasons i feel nano should be replaced [21:54] euxneks, so i dont get what you are asking then. [21:54] Dr_willis, you answered my question :) I want to make a theme for window decorations and I needed to know what the default window decorator was for unity and ubuntu [21:55] its for COMPIZ [21:55] oh, really? [21:55] oh that's awesome [21:55] compiz uses the gtk-decorator , theres also emerald and the qt-decorator i recall. [21:55] but the gtk-decorator uses gtk themes [22:00] hello [22:00] Hey [22:00] Running Kubuntu and wondering what this means: Bell in session 'Shell' [22:01] I searched around and discovered that it's a KDE specific notification [22:02] wilee-nilee, thanks lets see if they can help >.< [22:02] It's most likely a Konsole notification. === root is now known as Guest66457 [22:08] hi, is there a way to circumvent that enter when using sudo add-apt-repository [22:09] i need it for a script [22:09] Raydiation: include '-y' [22:09] thanks [22:09] Raydiation: man add-apt-repository [22:09] Pricey: not on ubuntu [22:09] its for travis-ci [22:10] ad134, You can't use the hybrid hibernate in windows and access it from ubuntu period. [22:10] Raydiation: no man? [22:10] i hav ma desk top scren conected 2 ma laptop....but i js switch frm 1 scren 2 another.hlp plis. [22:13] i'm trying to find directories called tmpxxx in the /tmp directory. `find /tmp/ -maxdepth 1 -type d -name tmp\*` also returns /tmp in addition to the directories i'm looking for [22:13] how can i prevent it from returning itself? [22:13] find /tmp/* -maxdepth 0 -type d -name tmp\* [22:13] i guess is the best soln [22:14] runnyspot: find /tmp/ -maxdepth 1 -type d -name 'tmp???' [22:15] runnyspot: Depending on what your goal is you could also use simply "echo /tmp/tmp*/" . [22:16] runnyspot: What is your end goal? [22:16] cron to delete folders in tmp directory that are left behind [22:17] ok, so I need to convert an emerald theme into something I can use in ubuntu 13.04 [22:17] well, "need" I suppose is subjective [22:18] I would *like to* convert a theme for use in ubuntu+unity 13.04 [22:18] i'm actullay dealing with another issue someone might be able to help with, when i run nagios@nagios:~$ crontab -e, i get crontabs/nagios/: fdopen: Permission denied [22:21] hrm.. maybe someone can tell me where ambiance is stored? [22:21] the window theme? [22:22] i think it's in shared or something [22:22] runnyspot: "rmdir /tmp/tmp*/" (which will only remove empty directories). [22:25] What is the best practice to run something at startup as a user? [22:25] cron job? [22:27] Can't you set it as a start up program or are you trying to do something different? wachpwnski [22:27] bossman759: i am on ubuntu server [22:27] oh ok [22:27] cron job sounds like a good idea [22:27] when the server starts up I want it to start up a program with dtach [22:28] wachpwnski: a '@reboot' crontab line seems good for that [22:28] yeah I'm pretty sure a cron job could do that [22:29] if I want it to run as that user [22:29] Pricey: im on archlinux [22:29] no manpages for debian stuff [22:29] but thanks :) [22:29] if you're logged in on that user wouldn't run as that user? [22:30] Raydiation: You're in #ubuntu :( [22:30] Pricey: yeah because travis-ci uses ubuntu vms to run CI tests [22:30] wachpwnski, you could take a look at /etc/rc.d/rc.local [22:32] ok, so i'm almost embarrassed to admit this. I have a relatively new laptop. the webcam works fine, but i wanted to know what kind it was. i tried listing with: lshw,lsusb,lspci (all grepping "cam") but nothing listed. Had to install hwinfo to find out. Is there some command other than hwinfo to extract webcam info? [22:33] napc: there are some graphical tools that give you a lot of info [22:33] napc: http://askubuntu.com/questions/31618/how-can-i-find-my-hardware-details [22:33] also some command i cant remember, something with bios in it i think [22:34] ah right, i was wrong: dmidecode [22:35] forgot... tried that one too... [22:35] thx... i just thought there was something installed by default. [22:39] napc, usb-devices [22:42] varunendra: yes. that works. thx to both of you. [22:42] :) [22:42] always another command to learn/know [22:44] napc, usb-devices is not universal though. I think it only works on some distros like Ubuntu. Same goes for lshw. [22:45] I dont suppose anyone online either knows about pulse audio, or can point me at a good tutorial? [22:46] I can never remember the command to open a file in a gui app from the console. [22:46] cynar_, tutorial to do what? [22:46] cynar_, (although I know so little I doubt I can help you) [22:47] jhutchins, like "gksu gedit "? [22:47] or just "gedit " [22:48] I'm trying to get my head around it for a project [22:49] it looks able to do the job, but is currently WAY beyond my abilities [22:49] http://rlab.org.uk/wiki/Jukebox [22:51] * cynar_ thinks he hears smw_ flee with a slight wimper [22:51] * smw_ looks around [22:51] cynar_, you didn't see my name so I did see you said anything :-P [22:52] sorry, out of irc habit [22:52] Is there an xmodmap keysym for ctrl+x? [22:52] cynar_, yep, wait beyond my abilities as well [22:53] I've just set up Ubuntu on my old computer that's got an ATI X800 video card. I'm seeing some goofy glitches...what drivers should I be using? [22:53] cynar_, try #pulseaudio? [22:53] thanks for at least looking, it's more than I've gotten from the pulseaudio channel [22:53] cynar_, heh [22:53] smw_ first place i looked [22:54] /asked [22:54] MeatloafSoaring: the better question might be, what hardware should you be using.. but i would just try the drivers available, and use what works best.. the hardware support is different from case to case === cubix``401 is now known as cubix` [22:56] holstein: Well...I'd just like to not see these visual glitches. I'm not sure if they're being caused by the driver I'm currently using. I believe I'm using the open source driver [22:56] What I want is capslock+j/k/l/i be arrow keys, as well as a few other bindings, but have the capslock+ behave as ctl+ [22:57] I've got arrow keys with capslock by mapping capslock to mod5, but using that method I need a keysym for ctrl+x [22:57] MeatloafSoaring: just confirm that, and try the other one.. its not a normal feature of the OS, if thats is the concern [22:57] and all the other ctrl combos I want to save [23:02] Does anyone happen to know how to get past the "Disk full" error when preparing a custom netboot mini.iso image? [23:02] backjlack, what disc is full? [23:03] wilee-nilee: netboot.img [23:03] hi [23:03] just wondering is it possible to define the random port range [23:03] quuxman: try http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/view/6.2/chapter07/console.html [23:03] backjlack, Not sure I understand. [23:03] my webserver deals with probably upwards of 50k sockets at a time and sometimes when i restart a daemon it can't bind [23:03] whoever: I'm using X of course though... [23:03] because it's in established or wait [23:04] whoever: loadkeys has no effect in X [23:04] ok, 2 systems now, same result, aftert installing ubuntu, and rebooting to the os choosing screen, i get the error message \ubuntu\winboot\wubildt.mbr isn't there, but it is... what to try? [23:05] the general problem is I want capslock to behave as ctrl in most cases, but with 8 key combos, I want it to produce specific keysyms [23:05] Phoenix1969: screw wubi [23:05] quuxman: settings > keyboard > shortcut [23:05] k1l, then how to fixx? [23:06] Phoenix1969: you could try a different version with wubi.. 12.04 if you are using 13.04. or just dont use wubi [23:06] Phoenix1969: as i told before. wubi is very difficult to fix. most supporters in here recommend to make a real install on own partitions [23:06] quuxman: if that doesn't work then you may need to use a key combo to load a custom keymap via script with a toggle state [23:06] hmm, ok, then try the 12.xx install? [23:07] Phoenix1969: why not do an actual install? [23:07] how? [23:07] !install [23:07] Ubuntu can be installed in lots of ways. Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation for documentation. Problems during install? See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/CommonProblemsInstall - See also !automate [23:07] whoever: does that actually work? wow, how do you do that [23:07] !dualboot [23:07] Dual boot instructions: x86/AMD64: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DualBoot/Windows - Macs: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MacBookPro https://help.ubuntu.com/community/YabootConfigurationForMacintoshPowerPCsDualBoot [23:07] whoever: (making a mod load a different keymap) [23:07] i tried usb, cd, and from desktop, all same result [23:08] quuxman: what is the end result that you are hoping for ? that ctr + j/k/l work like they do in vim [23:08] Phoenix1969: tried what? dualbooting? === beratalp is now known as incepted [23:08] Phoenix1969: an *actual* install.. not a wubi [23:08] whoever: yeah, in all apps (except I'm using dvorak so its htnc) [23:08] Hi [23:08] I have a question [23:08] I install a program from a .run file and I cannot find it in the apps lens any help appriciated [23:09] ubuntu 13.04 64 bit [23:09] quuxman: create script use keyboard shortcut to map to that scrip and basted on state of a variable will depend what happens [23:09] mjayk: you would ask the maintainer of the application, or make a custom lanucher [23:09] whoever: I just want my home keys to be arrow keys with capslock, but capslock to be ctrl for common shortcuts like ctrl+x/v/c/l ... [23:09] holstein: sorry i dont understand what a maintainer is :) im not that up to date [23:09] with pc's :) [23:09] whoever: doesn't sound practical to make a syscall when capslock goes down, and another when it goes up === Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much [23:10] quuxman: there is prop a plugin that already does that [23:10] ok, so partition the drive first? [23:10] then install to that? [23:10] Is there a way to start Empathy in online mode or to manually change Empathy from offline to online at the command prompt? [23:10] mjayk: ubuntu maintains the applications in the repos.. if you downloaded a .run file, it has a creator, and a maintainer.. you can ask them how you are to launch it.. or create a custom launcher [23:10] quuxman: what your describing does not sound practical [23:10] i know how to launch it [23:10] Phoenix1969: i would literally make a CD, or USB as described at the links i gave, and boot them.. and install [23:10] whoever: it's very practical. Means I never have to reach for arrow keys, which causes me RSI [23:10] can i can launch it [23:11] i have USB-VGA adapter as /dev/fb1 whats the best X11 setup [23:11] i want it to appear in the search when i type "program name" into the dash [23:11] quuxman: you can just create a keyboart shortcut that will capture the key combos too [23:11] thats the probem [23:11] i did that, same result, but i did no partition [23:11] whoever: I already have it totally working by using xmodmap. Only disadvantage is I have to use the normal ctrl key for cut, paste, go to URL bar, etc [23:11] mjayk: and you want a shortcut in the menu.. but the maintainer didnt provide that functionality... so you can ask them for it, or create a custom lanucher [23:11] i tried usb, cd, and desktop, all same result [23:11] also you can creat shortcuts and map ctrl+k arrowRight [23:11] holstein: it has a desktop launcher [23:12] i want it to appear in the search lens [23:12] mjayk: it might not.. and i dont use lenses.. so, i'll let you wait patiently for another volunteer [23:12] quuxman: then map right ctrl to the left ctrl [23:12] Phoenix1969: you try a normal install? and you get that wubi error you posted? [23:12] so would partitioning the c drive help that? [23:12] how do you edit grub to boot to console? [23:13] whoever: I didn't say anything about Control_L vs Control_R... how does that help anything? [23:13] holstein: that was my question. thnx I guess you just mean someone else idling :) [23:13] yes, i tried a dozen times on 2 different systems [23:13] Phoenix1969: running the installer will allow you create a dualboot scenario [23:13] Hello ubuntu! so about this icon problem i ran into, I just wanted to tell u how did I resolve it, I just did sudo gtk-update-icon-cache /usr/share/icons/; for more info http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/gutsy/man1/gtk-update-icon-cache.1.html [23:13] mjayk: i mean, not me, since you are highlighting me, and im not going to know anything about adding applications to a lense [23:13] the dualboot says there are missing mbr files, but they are there === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [23:14] Phoenix1969: what dual boot? [23:14] holstein: highlighted due to it being a response as is this :) i didnt highlight you in the original question [23:14] when you boot the sys, a screen comes up to choose OS [23:14] mjayk: sure.. but, you can not hightlight me anymore, since i cannot help you.. thanks! [23:14] quuxman: you said normal ctrl, which i assume is left ctrl [23:15] i choose ubuntu, and get instant error missing mbr [23:15] holstein: same to you thanks again [23:15] thufir, You might start here. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2#Booting_from_a_serial_console [23:15] whoever: ah sorry. I meant either control key, in their normal position in the bottom right or left, which sucks [23:15] quuxman: since right and left alt also do different things [23:15] Phoenix1969: you choose ubuntu from grub? [23:15] thufir, Or actually here the page. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [23:15] yes [23:16] quuxman: each key has a nemaric value that is uniqu you can bind to that if you want l or r ctrl specificly [23:16] wilee-nilee: thanks, I'll check that out in lynx [23:16] Phoenix1969: what do you want? i dont think the wubi installs are expecting grub.. that could be an issue.. i would decide which you want, and troubleshoot it [23:17] think I know how to do this. Map capslock as ctrl instead of mod5, and use XKB to remap ctrl+ to Left keysym, etc [23:17] whoever: I know :-) [23:17] I know no uther way, every install comes up that way, how do i avoid grub? [23:17] thufir, It is pretty straight forward I just forget the mod needed in /etc/default/grub or in the grub menu if you want it per-session. [23:18] Phoenix1969: i didnt say avoid grub.. but wubi is not expecting grub.. so that could be causing the error.. which do you want to use? [23:18] i dont care, i just want dual boot [23:18] Phoenix1969: either way, i think you have a mess.. from what you are saying, you have a wubi install that is failing, and an actual dualboot scenario that is failing [23:18] quuxman: are we cookin with gas yet ? [23:18] Phoenix1969: i would remove the wubi install, and post the *exact* grub error you are having [23:19] k... 1 min... [23:19] Phoenix1969: this is an easy tool to use from live CD's that typically fixes most boot issues https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [23:19] whoever: I missed the reference. I'm reading https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/XKB right now. I will have the ultimate keyboard layout soon!!! [23:19] http://i.imgur.com/jEV8s0y.jpg [23:20] ill try that [23:20] Phoenix1969: if you want to dual boot, remove that wubi install [23:20] Hello everbody. How can I include a kernelmodule into initramfs? [23:20] how? delete the ubuntu folder on c drive? [23:21] how does XKB relate to xmodmap? [23:21] or choose the uninstall wubi [23:21] Phoenix1969, control panel add remove softwaree [23:21] k [23:21] Phoenix1969: its removable as an appliction.. but, you should be seeing grub at boot, if you did a dual boot setup [23:21] quuxman: ok, are we making progress [23:22] quuxman: are you sure there isn't a plug in already that does ths [23:22] the grub shows, but goes straight to error when choose ubuntu [23:22] Phoenix1969: you are showing a windows boot loader there [23:23] Phoenix1969: you should have grub.. and will, if you do a proper dual boot setup [23:23] whoever: yeah sure. I just have to read the docs on XKB. It makes the xmodmap system obsolete, and is not actually capable of making one key behave as two different modifiers, but XKB easily can do that [23:23] er, I mean xmodmap is not capable of that [23:23] just uninstalled from programs& features, now what? [23:23] try reboot? [23:23] apparently everybody still uses xmodmap because it's entrenched and simpler [23:24] Phoenix1969: set up the dual boot.. install ubuntu, or if you have already installed it, restore grub [23:24] or install from cd? [23:24] I expanded a FAT16 partition on a thumb drive but when I try to copy files to it I still get the disk full error [23:24] Phoenix1969: if you havent.. install from cd or usb.. or dvd.. or whatever [23:25] was done before, should i do again, or try the boot fixer cd? [23:25] Phoenix1969: try whatever fits the scnario we discussed [23:25] Phoenix1969: if you have installed, then restore grub [23:25] Phoenix1969: if you havent.. install the OS [23:26] quuxman: http://askubuntu.com/questions/13108/map-keyboard-arrows-to-shortcuts [23:26] sups peoples. :) I just installed xubuntu on a dying PC, and once in a while it keeps "screen of death"-ing [23:26] ill be trying right now...bb soon...wish me luck...lol [23:26] I suspect it's because it's overheating, but I'm wondering if one could find out [23:27] what causes the computer to freeze & shut down [23:27] I expanded a FAT16 partition on a thumb drive but when I try to copy files to it I still get the disk full error [23:27] Anyone remotely interested in solving this mystery?

Everything I find refers to 10.04 or older and it seems that something has changed as it will not accept the local server (ive tried ftp, http, and nfs) as a source complainging of a missing file from a /tmp dir [23:30] DarthExpeditor: thats too big for FAT16. [23:30] btw - attempting to install 12.04lts [23:30] OK. Then this is fucking worthless [23:30] !language | DarthExpeditor [23:31] DarthExpeditor: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [23:31] Kinda what I suspected. [23:31] DarthExpeditor: Use FAT32 and watch your language. [23:31] Problem that I have is that a vendor gave me an image for their "recovery" software [23:32] I'm supposed to run the image onto the flash drive and then copy the recovery image to the drive so it can be restored. [23:32] Then I boot off the drive and restore it. [23:32] problem is that the "recovery" software image is in FAT16 [23:32] Tards [23:32] Is there a way to convert it? [23:33] whoever: not exactly what I'm looking for, but thanks [23:33] quuxman: ok, so back at originl idea [23:34] whoever: yeah, that post suggested using Alt-Gr for the modifier [23:34] im getting the feeling that there is something missing from the download ISO that is needed for the pxe client to accept the server as a source. any one know what this is? I was going to just clone a mirror but thats a 101GB download, which is crazy excessive! [23:35] DarthExpeditor: No. Create a FAT32 filesystem. [23:36] kickit2, Doesn't the iso have a sum? [23:36] Yeah. That's the obvious answer but you missed the part where I told you I was having to use a factory image that is bootable.

[23:38] bossman759, Take a look in playing around. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [23:39] DarthExpeditor: Well, you just cant copy a file that large onto it.
