| floogy | Hi, I got issues with ubuntu one. It seems that I'm no longer able to publish files. | 00:00 |
| zykotick9 | Kalimdor: are you rebooting, or restarting lightdm to test? | 00:00 |
| floogy | Neither with the webui nor with a right click. I'm on 12.04 | 00:01 |
| poz | hi guys, quick question. If I upgrade from 12.04 to 13.04, will i loss my currently installed programs/settings? | 00:01 |
| zykotick9 | floogy: there is a ubuntuone channel, probably #ubuntuone | 00:01 |
| poz | or is it seemless, as if i wouldnt even notice? | 00:01 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !flavors | 00:01 |
| ubottu | !Kubuntu and !Xubuntu are simply flavors of Ubuntu that come with KDE and Xfce (respectively) installed as default, instead of Unity. Other specialized flavors of Ubuntu include !Edubuntu, Ubuntu !Studio, !Mythbuntu, and !Lubuntu | 00:01 |

| zipy | sudo mount -o loop,ro,offset=71680 /media/truecrypt1/bkp/pi/bkp_xbian.img /media/bkp <- i need filesystem type, how can i add it -ot? and where do i put the type | 00:02 |
| floogy | zykotick9, thanks | 00:02 |
| poz | kernsprog, no i won't, what? | 00:02 |
| kernsprog | poz: i answered your question. | 00:02 |
| floogy | poz, it's not intended to lost configurations on upgrade. | 00:02 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: brb reboot | 00:02 |
| zykotick9 | Kalimdor: just restart lightdm! | 00:02 |
| poz | oh okay | 00:02 |
| poz | so whats the code to upgrade from 12.04 to 13.04? | 00:03 |
| kernsprog | poz: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 00:03 |
| zykotick9 | kernsprog: WRONG!!! | 00:03 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrad3e | 00:03 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrade | 00:03 |
| ubottu | A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 00:03 |
| zykotick9 | !upgrade | 00:03 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:04 |
| noTch | zykotick9: here | 00:04 |
| === noTch is now known as Guest32137 | ||
| kernsprog | right, sorry my bad. lol | 00:04 |
| zipy | sudo mount -o loop,ro,offset=71680 /media/truecrypt1/bkp/pi/bkp_xbian.img /media/bkp <- i need filesystem type, how can i add it -ot? and where do i put the type | 00:04 |
| kernsprog | because i never upgrade. | 00:04 |
| zykotick9 | kernsprog: ummm, if you never use dist-upgrade on your boxes, how do you deal with kernel updates/etc? do you use the gui as well ;) | 00:05 |
| wilee-nilee | kernsprog, You will go through 12.10, now you have to ask yourself is it worth it. ;) | 00:05 |
| zykotick9 | wilee-nilee: i think poz is upgrading ;) | 00:05 |
| wilee-nilee | good muhhahha | 00:05 |
| kernsprog | zykotick9: i do dist-upgrade yes. but not upgrade distro versions. | 00:05 |
| kernsprog | zykotick9: i use gui, yes. why do you ask that? | 00:06 |
| Proxywars_ | This is the error report: http://pastebin.com/JBKbh62P | 00:06 |
| zykotick9 | kernsprog: k ... just checkin' 'cause dist-upgrade is the equivalent text command for upgrading a system to the GUI updater. dist-upgrade is very misunderstood, it's actually the exact same as full-upgrade alias in aptitude at least] | 00:07 |
| poz | wilee-nilee, why is that good? | 00:07 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: reloged | 00:07 |
| kernsprog | zykotick9: correct. i know that. i don't use the gui updater. i don't even have it installed. i removed it out. | 00:08 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: login, didnt get a change | 00:09 |
| zykotick9 | kernsprog: ahhh, doesn't that break the ubuntu-desktop (and probably all the others as well) metapackage? be warned, you need that to update to new versions... | 00:09 |
| === ccrazy is now known as notcrazy | ||
| poz | wilee-nilee, do I really have to upgrade to 12.10 to get to 13.04? | 00:09 |
| poz | so basically 12.04 | 00:09 |
| === FreakingShower is now known as FreakingTea | ||
| zykotick9 | poz: yes - you can't skip releases (with the LTS->LTS exception) | 00:10 |
| poz | so basically 12.04 ---> 12.10 --> 13.04 | 00:10 |
| kernsprog | zykotick9: admittedly, i don't have ubuntu-desktop installed. i have no issues. | 00:10 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: only after the login both monitors changes to 1024x768 | 00:10 |
| zykotick9 | kernsprog: just be aware you can't go to the next ubuntu release without at least one *-desktop installed ;) | 00:10 |
| wilee-nilee | poz, For me it is a time thing, I have a save system so I always fresh install, takes about a half hour to have it all the same. | 00:11 |
| poz | zykotick9, is that difficult to do from your experience? | 00:11 |
| kernsprog | zykotick9: if i have to update versions, i just reinstall. i have a seriously hacked elementaryOS desktop. understand, my system is not your everday ubuntu system. highly customized behind the scenes. | 00:11 |
| zykotick9 | Kalimdor: seriously? then it's something is your user account settings - I have NO clue for you... sorry. At this point, I'm chalking this one up to an ubuntu issue i can't deal with ;) sorry man/woman/person... best of luck. | 00:12 |
| americo | http://ubottu.com/y/dl | 00:12 |
| zykotick9 | poz: when i ran ubuntu, i never updated. i'd always fresh install (a lot of others do this as well). | 00:12 |
| poz | i see | 00:12 |
| floogy | zykotick9, In #ubuntuone nobody seems to answer that question. Maybe someone here knows how to publish a synced file in u1 http://askubuntu.com/questions/309448/publish-a-file-fails-cannot-access-web-link-a-file-is-no-longer-published | 00:13 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: i guess something like ARandR or ... is the main problem | 00:13 |
| zykotick9 | floogy: i have 0 interest in helping with an u1 issue. but typically not a lot of people in #ubuntu know either (not as bad as wubi, but you get my idea). i pointed you to the other channel in hopes someone there would hear your plea and have an "idea" of what to do. 'cause I sure don't! good luck though (i did use u1 with 10.04 when it first came out ;) | 00:14 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: and they dont use xorg.conf, theres a "Display" on my Settings also | 00:14 |
| zykotick9 | Kalimdor: did you install any gui frontends to xrandr? | 00:15 |
| shan | hi, i tried to install win98 and i lost all partitions except 1. what i did to install win98 is that i hide ntfs partition(primary/active). now i lost linux partition and few others. somehow i managed to recover one partition with data on it and there still another partition with important data. but i get error while recovering that partition. | 00:15 |
| shan | i think some sectors problem.... | 00:15 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: is that compiz? | 00:15 |
| zykotick9 | Kalimdor: no, like grandr (i'm sure there are others as well, kde stuff, etc.) | 00:15 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: i have only KDE ARandR and Gnome here ^_^ | 00:16 |
| floogy | zykotick9, thank you anyway. Maybe somebody can give me a hint. | 00:16 |
| zykotick9 | Kalimdor: KDE ARandR - i wonder if it's settings could be applied to your user account? totally guess on my part. | 00:16 |

| Kalimdor | zykotick9: i should check those thanks anyway | 00:17 |
| Kalimdor | zykotick9: good luck | 00:17 |
| shan | wilee-nilee | i mean ubuntu. | 00:17 |
| shan | wilee-nilee | i mostly call ubuntu/kubuntu/mint = linux. :p | 00:18 |
| SonikkuAmerica | !linux | shan | 00:18 |
| ubottu | shan: Linux is the kernel (core) of the Ubuntu operating system. Many operating systems use Linux as a kernel. For more information on Linux in general, visit http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux | 00:18 |
| Guest24598 | hello do anyone know a program i can download thats kinda like 7 zip but is on the software manager? | 00:18 |
| wilee-nilee | shan, we don't mint is not supported, most will suggest testdisk, NO backups eh? | 00:18 |
| zykotick9 | shan: if you installed win98 onto the same drive as other OSes - i'd guess you deleted everything... | 00:18 |
| Guest21893 | so, i've noticed (by continuously running netstat) that when you're connected to things and you pull the plug at the network manager level, those connections will prety much indefinitely stay 'established'; at least until you terminate the application that made them or use some other form of halting like pausing a download... (questions to follow) | 00:19 |
| Guest24598 | hello can some one help me?! | 00:19 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest24598: there is the Archive Manager that's installed by default | 00:19 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest24598: also, be patient | 00:19 |
| Guest24598 | but it does not work i tryed | 00:19 |
| Guest21893 | so i'm wondering if you reestablish the connection.. on a vpn, and you've set up iptables to block the non-vpn stuff, does that lingering established connection leak information? | 00:20 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest24598: in what way does it not work? | 00:20 |
| Guest24598 | idk :/ | 00:20 |
| shan | wilee-nilee | no space or alternate for the partition(unallocated space), it's almost half of whole parition. | 00:20 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest21893: I think established connections stay established, so you could say yes | 00:20 |
| Guest24598 | it just wont open tha files i need open :( | 00:21 |
| Guest24598 | t? | 00:21 |
| shan | zykotick9 | i never succeeded to install win98 and lost paritition. | 00:21 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest24598: what format is the file compressed in? | 00:21 |
| Guest24598 | jar | 00:21 |
| zykotick9 | shan: doesn't surpise me at all, but if win98 got to the partition stage - ohhhhhh | 00:21 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest24598: I can right click on a jar file and select Open With > Archive Manager | 00:21 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest24598: what version of Ubuntu are you on? | 00:22 |
| Guest21893 | ok, so saiarcot895 or anyone else, is there any way to 'fix' that? so that connections actually lose establishment when the 'plug is pulled' | 00:22 |
| shan | zykotick9 | win98 have nothing to do with those spaces, it's coz of utility i used to hide NTFS. | 00:22 |
| Guest24598 | one moment plz ummm peprmint | 00:22 |
| zykotick9 | shan: check out testdisk for a linux partition recovery program (i've only used it's "photorec" program myself) - it's non-trivial, but might help? | 00:22 |
| joshu_ | is there an official plugin for network manager to connect to a vpn via l2tp/ ipsec? | 00:22 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest24598: peppermint? | 00:22 |
| joshu_ | I can find plugins for openvpn and cisco ipsec, but not for l2tp/ipsec | 00:22 |

| punzilla | it is not showing up as an input device in the "sound settings" | 00:24 |
| saiarcot895 | Guest21893: of course, if the program is necessary for Ubuntu, well, killing it is not a good idea | 00:24 |

Since Im using static IP addressing, do I need to edit my /etc/resolv.conf manually to use my desired DNS servers or is network-manager dropping the ball here? | 00:56 |
| zykotick9 | PaintBucket: certainly verify your flash is as up-to-date as ubuntu repos! | 00:56 |

| Psil0cybin | you will use less memory then Ubuntu | 01:13 |
| Psil0cybin | or even Xubuntu | 01:13 |
| ianorlin | yep | 01:13 |
| Psil0cybin | try other forks if you want stripped down versions | 01:13 |
| standoo | i'm using this for server | 01:14 |
| standoo | something like Ubuntu 13.04 (Raring Ringtail) | 01:14 |
| pfifo | standoo, I have lubuntu on a 1.7ghz single core laptop with 256mb of memory, runs great, uses all of the available memory and 200MB or so of swap | 01:14 |
| Psil0cybin | pfifo, thats really neat :) | 01:15 |
| Psil0cybin | im using Xubuntu on my 1GB memory and its fantastic | 01:15 |
| Psil0cybin | i loveeee it | 01:15 |
| Psil0cybin | comparing windows 7 and XUbuntu on this laptop is out of this world. | 01:15 |
| Psil0cybin | the difference | 01:15 |

| Psil0Cybin | i actually completely abandoned using windows a few months ago. | 01:15 |
| zykotick9 | standoo: how much ram do you have? starting from mini or server, i'd think you'd still probably want 512MB+... | 01:15 |
| pfifo | standoo, without X linux uses about 60MB of memory (I remember this somehow) | 01:16 |
| standoo | i'm not using X | 01:17 |
| standoo | i think i'll just download it and see how much ram it uses | 01:17 |
| zykotick9 | standoo: i understand that. but ubuntu isn't the lightest of distros out there, so what are we talking about? | 01:17 |

| standoo | i'm now considering os level virtualiztion with lxc containers having ubuntu on them | 01:18 |
| pfifo | standoo, the kernel supplied by ubuntu is 4.7M, and busybox clocks in at 527k, so you 'should' be able to boot with an 8M stick of memory (but the initrd that got built with this install is 14M) | 01:21 |

| payoni | ok, thanks | 01:23 |
| trism | Greylocks: :set number | 01:25 |

| h36sa | hello, I'm running ubuntu 13.04 PXE booted with an NFS root. Every time I use apt-get install I get a bunch of package reconfiguring nonsense that's always the same /usr/sbin/grub-probe: error: failed to get canonical path of 192.168.10.4:/mnt/zraid/tftproot/00-21-70-52-78-fe/ubuntu/13.04-root. for the following packages. Is there a way to get apt-get to ignore these packages (I really don't need linux-image but I suspect | 01:26 |
| h36sa | it's a dep for most other packages) | 01:26 |
| h36sa | linux-image-3.8.0-19-generic | 01:26 |
| h36sa | linux-image-3.8.0-26-generic | 01:26 |
| h36sa | linux-image-extra-3.8.0-26-generic | 01:26 |
| h36sa | linux-image-generic | 01:26 |
| h36sa | linux-generic | 01:26 |
| FloodBot1 | h36sa: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 01:26 |
| h36sa | linux-image-extra-3.8.0-19-generic | 01:26 |
| Nmbr1 | !paste > h36sa | 01:27 |
| ubottu | h36sa, please see my private message | 01:27 |
| h36sa | sorry. did all the lines get pasted though? I'm sure everyone can get the general idea of the problem | 01:28 |
| pfifo | h36sa, why dont you just install linux-image-generic on the NFS root? | 01:28 |
| h36sa | pfifo, ? I am but the grub-probe command fails with that error which causes apt-get think i should try it again every time I emerge something | 01:30 |
| h36sa | I have vmlinuz and initrd.img for both kernel revs in /boot (which aren't ever actually used). So I'm not sure why I can't trick the system into thinking everything is kosher | 01:31 |
| pfifo | h36sa, try 'sudo apt-get install -f' | 01:31 |
| h36sa | pfifo, http://pastebin.com/FGQYpex2 | 01:33 |
| h36sa | can I remove the hook that runs run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 1 somewhere? | 01:34 |
| h36sa | I suppose I could replace that file with return 0 | 01:34 |
| pfifo | h36sa, are you running apt-get from the client or a chroot on the server? | 01:34 |
| h36sa | pfifo, client | 01:34 |
| pfifo | h36sa, no, you should edit the clients filesystem from the server, the NFS root should be read only if at all possible | 01:35 |
| joshu_ | hi would installing ubuntu mini and then the following sudo apt-get install --no-install-recommends ubuntu-desktop, unity-greeter, ubuntu-artwork, network-manager-gnome, lightdm result in a minimal ubuntu OS? | 01:35 |
| h36sa | pfifo, not for my purposes but that's beside the point | 01:36 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: honestly, using no-install-recommends with any *-desktop metapackages, is bound to lead to tears... | 01:36 |
| h36sa | there's no reason this shouldn't work (everything actually does work quite well except for the slight delay after installing packages) | 01:36 |
| joshu_ | zykotick9 ok I found that "recipe" whilst googling. | 01:37 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: it's probaly not worth the trouble... just sayin' | 01:37 |
| pfifo | h36sa, well nothing wrong with a rw NFS root, but check out casper when you get a chance... anyway, this is failing cause grub is tring to install itself on you network filesystem and it cant find a physical drive for it (of course)... to fix it, chroot into the client from your server and install linux-image-generic | 01:38 |
| joshu_ | zykotick9 if the starting point is ubuntu mini and the desired outcome is a minimal OS which basically only presents a login screen, supports the laptop hardware (basics ethernet, wifi, brightness) and VPN, RDP, local USB printer, local USB scanner what would you do? | 01:39 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: perhaps the same ;) but that's me answering. fyi, you can specify that in /etc/apt/apt.conf BTW (highly NOT recommended!) | 01:40 |
| wilee-nilee | joshu_, Your desired outcome is not what it offers. | 01:40 |
| soumen | Hi All, Im having trouble dual bootiung ubuntu 12.04 with win 7 | 01:41 |
| joshu_ | zykotick9 when you say the same you mean the recipe I first posted? | 01:41 |
| soumen | Have a strange problem, couldnt find much after extensive googling | 01:41 |
| joshu_ | wilee-nilee how do you mean? | 01:41 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: i don't follow random "recipes" i find on the interwebs ;) | 01:41 |
| h36sa | pfifo, I'll try that later, thanks | 01:41 |
| joshu_ | zykotick9 I agree that's why I'm asking for advice as I don't have the expertise | 01:42 |
| soumen | Ubuntu detects multiple win7 installs (there is only one) and when I hit enter on any of them, the windows splash scren comes up but freezes | 01:42 |
| h36sa | pfifo, is there no way to completely disable the grub hooks as I don't use grub? | 01:42 |
| wilee-nilee | joshu_, The mini is just a netload with a lot more options then a single live ISO, I suspect one can from the base install do what they want but all the packages otherwise offered are the same in a cli in a install. | 01:42 |
| soumen | Can someone please help me? | 01:43 |
| pfifo | h36sa, what is the actual package your trying to install? | 01:43 |
| Nmbr1 | !patience | soumen | 01:43 |
| ubottu | soumen: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com/ or http://ubuntuforums.org/ or http://askubuntu.com/ | 01:43 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: if you honest-to-god need the most minimal system possible (and don't need to upgrade to the next version of ubuntu!) THEN avoid *-desktop metapackages like the plague. and only install what you really need, off of mini! | 01:43 |
| manuj | hi | 01:43 |
| anocide | hello | 01:44 |
| soumen | Nmbr1: Sorry if that looked hurried, I only meant it as a continuation to my former lines | 01:44 |
| manuj | i need some help | 01:44 |
| leotemp | anyone feel like msging me and helping me through the install for an atheros wifi card on a laptop | 01:44 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: basically, install mini with nothing selected, but the "base" option, and build upon that... | 01:44 |
| joshu_ | zykotick9 I don't need 100% minimal super tuned but the purpose of building a custom ubuntu OS is to make it as easy for a user as possible to just login and get connected to their RDP session via VPN | 01:44 |
| soumen | manuj: What sort of help? | 01:44 |
| manuj | kindly tell me how to open menu(start) by pressing window key | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | manuj, i think you just tap the windows key and it opens the dash screen | 01:45 |
| soumen | manuj: Are you on ubuntu? Which desktop env? | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | press and hold and it shows a list of shortcuts | 01:45 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: then just install regular ubuntu-desktop, and try to customize it to taste | 01:45 |
| * pfifo high fives Dr_Willis | 01:45 | |
| manuj | sorry, i am using linux mint 9 | 01:45 |
| Dr_Willis | manuj, time to go to the mint support channels then | 01:46 |
| zykotick9 | !mint | manuj | 01:46 |
| ubottu | manuj: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 01:46 |
| anocide | can anyone help me with a gnome-keyring / network manager problem? | 01:46 |
| soumen | manuj: Thats fine, so, GNOME right? | 01:46 |
| manuj | ok thanks | 01:46 |
| manuj | yeah gnome | 01:46 |
| zykotick9 | anocide: do you have autologin enabled? | 01:46 |
| anocide | NO | 01:46 |
| anocide | been down that path | 01:46 |
| h36sa | pfifo, every package tries to reconfigure those I initially listed every time they're installed | 01:46 |
| anocide | its worked for 3 years | 01:46 |
| zykotick9 | anocide: then ask the channel, all on one line - and don't include my nick. | 01:46 |
| soumen | manuj: Not sure. On unity, it works off the box. | 01:47 |
| manuj | ok i will go to mint help | 01:47 |
| joshu_ | wilee-nilee I understand so what approach would you take to achieve what I decribed? | 01:47 |
| h36sa | for example I installed xchat to ask this question and it tried to reconfigure the kernel at the end (or at least grub) which takes 30+ seconds | 01:47 |
| anocide | this the right channel zykotick9? | 01:47 |
| zykotick9 | anocide: assuming you're using ubuntu = yes ;) | 01:47 |
| anocide | yes | 01:48 |
| leotemp | I have a laptop with an atheros 168c:0036 network device, the forums are down and i dont know how to install the driver properly | 01:48 |
| anocide | there's a ubuntu gnome channel too | 01:48 |
| pfifo | h36sa, yeah, but this all started by trying to install a package that required grub or linux-headers or linux-firmware or such... Im putting $20 on the cause of this being a video card driver (nvidia or fglrx) | 01:48 |
| Dr_Willis | leotemp, check askubuntu.com yet? | 01:48 |
| Vinnie_win | How do I make it so the menu doesn't auto-hide? What a pointless feature. I'm on 12.04LTS | 01:48 |
| leotemp | I will right now Dr, thanks | 01:48 |
| Dr_Willis | Vinnie_win, you can disable the global menu if you dont like it in the top panel. | 01:49 |
| Vinnie_win | I dont want to disable it, I want it to appear always. | 01:49 |
| Dr_Willis | Vinnie_win, check askubuntu.com there may be a tweak for that. cant say ive ever noticed one. | 01:49 |
| wilee-nilee | joshu_, Not sure what your goal is exactly, I have not followed all the posts, minimizing if tha is it is probably more likely from the ground up, which I would not really know, maybe gentoo. ;) | 01:49 |
| anocide | Q. After working perfect for years, my 3G nm-applet connection has died. Appears to be prob with gnome-keyring-d. This is main error message ** Message: secret service operation failed: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) | 01:50 |
| manuj | @wilee-nilee | 01:50 |
| pfifo | h36sa, without knowing the the package that caused it, this could be bad advice so take it with a pinch of salt 'sudo apt-get purge grub-pc' | 01:50 |
| joshu_ | wilee-nilee ok | 01:50 |
| anocide | NOTE: no autologin => Q. After working perfect for years, my 3G nm-applet connection has died. Appears to be prob with gnome-keyring-d. This is main error message ** Message: secret service operation failed: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) | 01:50 |
| wilee-nilee | joshu_, If I knew I would suggest, but I'm just basically an armchair user with way to much time. | 01:50 |
| joshu_ | zykotick9 googling it seems like lightdm has a lot configuration options that might enable the automation of connecting via VPN and then open a RDP session via FreeRDP. Are you familiar with lightdm and is it suitable for this? Basically would I starting with ubuntu mini be able to install ightdm and configure it and more or less have what I explained? | 01:52 |
| joshu_ | wilee-nilee no worries ;) | 01:53 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: sorry, i've never used lightdm - or am i familiar with 3g N-M connections - I gots nothin' sorry! | 01:53 |
| h36sa | pfifo, I think that worked. thanks a bunch | 01:53 |
| as0t | my first day on ubuntu 13.04 oh damn looks so damn awesome | 01:53 |
| joshu_ | zykotick9 ok no problem! thanks | 01:54 |
| as0t | but its kinda hard for me cause its my first day on linux world :D | 01:54 |
| Nmbr1 | as0t: welcome... to the real world | 01:54 |
| pfifo | h36sa, itll probably just come right back when you try to install another package that needs grub or such, keep the chroot solution written down ;) | 01:54 |
| pfifo | joshu_, I would debootstrap/mini install, and then 'apt-get xserver-xorg lightdm' and whatever you need for your RDP stuff | 01:55 |
| joshu_ | hi pfifo what does "debootstrap" mean? | 01:56 |
| pfifo | joshu_, another way to install a mini system | 01:56 |
| zykotick9 | joshu_: debootstrap is a method to install an OS from inside another running/compatible os. | 01:56 |
| joshu_ | zykotick9 oh ok | 01:57 |
| h36sa | pfifo, if that's the case should I file bug reports saying that grub isn't a real dep? | 01:57 |
| pfifo | h36sa, no your way too far into custom land to make helpful bug reports. | 01:58 |
| joshu_ | pfifo so install ubuntu mini via command line option, then once installed do "apt-get xserver-xorg lightdm". Apart from installing say FreeRDP for RDP and a vpn client, would networking, printing work with this or that would require additional packages and config? when I say printing the printer needs to be installed locally via cups, but printing will actually take place via RDP printer redirection. | 01:59 |
| tamiya | Can someone help me this this piece of crap Linux? I installed Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and did a 'sudo apt-get update' and this is what I get: http://pastebin.com/sGcVmSuB | 02:04 |

| === anonymous is now known as Guest32704 | ||
| vale_ | Not that I know of, but I'm still a noob.. You could always just make seperate key bindings? | 02:07 |
| tamiya | sudo apt-get update anyone? | 02:08 |
| pfifo | joshu_, cups is pretty heavy on deps, your losing you minimal system now. But yeah, a plain xorg with cups is a working solution. | 02:08 |
| Guest32704 | alguem ai pra conversa com migo? | 02:08 |
| tamiya | why is something so fundamental so broken | 02:08 |
| kristianpaul | hi | 02:09 |
| kristianpaul | There is a way to get ubuntu on a surfase rt? | 02:09 |
| pfifo | tamiya, try using a different mirror | 02:09 |
| tamiya | pfifo how do i do that | 02:10 |
| tamiya | and why doesnt the stupid software try a different mirror automatically if it cant fetch what it wants | 02:10 |
| pfifo | tamiya, edit your /etc/apt/sources.list and replace every instance of 'au.archive.ubuntu.com' with 'archive.ubuntu.com' | 02:10 |
| pfifo | tamiya, cause its stupid ^^ | 02:11 |
| tamiya | jesus whats the point of the software knowing which mirror is closest to me and then not trying another mirror upon failure | 02:11 |
| === jeanaustinr is now known as jeanaustinr|x | ||
| kostkon | tamiya, in software centre select edit → software sources. you don't need to edit your sources.list file | 02:12 |
| joshu_ | and networking and basic hardware support is not an issue with the setup you've described? Btw I'm testing this in a VM now | 02:12 |
| joshu_ | pfifo just finished installing 'apt-get xserver-xorg lightdm' I get the login screen with user, guest and remote user, and minimal bar at the top. looks ok. when I try to login I just get back at the login screen | 02:13 |
| pfifo | joshu_, make sure youve added a user to your system and then do this... http://www.itworld.com/operating-systems/289434/how-put-lubuntu-automatic-login-mode | 02:14 |
| joshu_ | I guess at this point all config needs to happen on the command line, for vpn, rdp, printer etc? then to get something to happen when the user logs in as opposed to being presented with the login screen *again* I need to configure lightdm options? Have I understood how to proceed? | 02:15 |
| tamiya | OMG, it works!!! | 02:15 |
| tamiya | Thank you kostkon and pfifo | 02:15 |
| pfifo | joshu_, yeah, you seem to be on the right track | 02:16 |
| jules_ | how can i see, which software my grafic card is using? thank you | 02:16 |
| kostkon | tamiya, :) | 02:16 |
| anocide | NOTE: no autologin => Q. After working perfect for years, my 3G nm-applet connection has died. Appears to be prob with gnome-keyring-d. This is main error message ** Message: secret service operation failed: Message did not receive a reply (timeout by message bus) | 02:16 |
| anonymous_ | hello | 02:18 |
| pfifo | anocide, can you paste the output of 'lsb_release -sd' | 02:18 |
| joshu_ | pfifo so this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Autorun_a_Command would be where I would have to write scripts to deal with the network config when the user logins in? or alternatively to simplify things I could teach the user to go the the top bar network manager and connect to the vpn, usb modem there and then login and start an xsession via freerdp? | 02:18 |
| anonymous_ | anonymous | 02:18 |
| vale_ | Does anyone know how to undecorate terminals? I just want to open terminals and see only their content (No username@hostname at the top or even exit, minimize, and enlarge options at the top) | 02:18 |
| joshu_ | pfifo sorry if what I'm saying is obvious easier to think out loud and get feedback ;) | 02:19 |
| pfifo | joshu_, your starting to lose me on the VPN/RDP stuff | 02:19 |
| joshu_ | pfifo ok. right now as the OS stands you can basically do nothing | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | vale_, ages ago that was a common trick. id say hit up google for 'root window terminals' it was a common thing like 8+ yrs ago. :) | 02:20 |
| PepperoniPizza | anyone know where the color info is stored in bash? like what file ? | 02:20 |
| Dr_Willis | PepperoniPizza, color info for what exactly? | 02:21 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, well basically I have an ubuntu machine and a freebsd machine I installed bash on the free bsd one but it lacks the different colors the ubuntu one has, like if I open a .php file on ubuntu it highlights the syntax and stuff real nice | 02:21 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, but on freebsd it is just white | 02:21 |
| pfifo | joshu_, yeah you have a minimal X with lightdm as a greeter, you can edit a file somewhere to get X to run commands on startup and then return to the login screen when they finish running | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | vale_, http://wiki.archbang.org/index.php?title=Permanent,_Transparent_LXTerminal_on_Desktop looks like some neat info | 02:22 |
| Dr_Willis | PepperoniPizza, open with what app? | 02:23 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, hmm ? | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | PepperoniPizza, it will be app settings not bash setting | 02:23 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, in freebsd they told me it was ~/.bashrc | 02:23 |
| joshu_ | pfifo http://cl.ly/image/0s3j3D2k1T1k | 02:23 |
| PepperoniPizza | so im gonna copy my ubuntu version over and try it | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | PepperoniPizza, vi, ls, more, less, all have their own color settings | 02:23 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, ahh | 02:23 |
| Dr_Willis | bash dosent actually do anything to the colors. | 02:23 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, well I use nano on both to edit config files etc | 02:24 |
| PepperoniPizza | but on freebsd it has no color which makes it harder to do stuff | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | its possible there s SHELL/TERM setting defined to tell those apps to use colors | 02:24 |
| Dr_Willis | see what your TERM variable is set to | 02:24 |
| dman777 | is it possibile in compiz to assign a key per a window, and hit that key to bring the assigned window into focus? | 02:24 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, xterm on both | 02:25 |
| pfifo | joshu_, All that can be configured in the lightdm config, there has to be some documentation on what and where... google likely knows | 02:25 |
| PepperoniPizza | and you were right the bashrc file didn't do anything | 02:25 |
| _andyj_ | is grub2 set to not display a menu in vmware by default for some reason? | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | grub2 hides its menu by default if linux/ubuntu is the only OS you have on the syste, | 02:25 |
| Dr_Willis | you can hold the shift key at boot to make it show. | 02:26 |
| _andyj_ | even if I install a second kernel? odd | 02:26 |
| _andyj_ | thanks I'll give that a shot | 02:26 |
| joshu_ | ok I think you've given me a good starting point pfifo! Will you be around tomorrow? | 02:26 |
| Dr_Willis | it dosent care about the kernels. if you got just ubuntu. it hides it | 02:26 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, it seems ls -G adds colors on freebsd | 02:26 |
| pfifo | joshu_, not likely, my free time is precious these days | 02:27 |
| pfifo | joshu_, I dont know crap about the VPN part anyway | 02:27 |
| joshu_ | I think I can figure that out as I've used freerdp before and also tested the vpn on a standard ubuntu install. The help I need is related to what you've helped with so far, but next step is making sure that what needs to happen does on user login. | 02:28 |
| BugsCrash | hello , Im chenge my motherboard today, and Linux Ubuntu Server 11.10 get blackscreen . Anyone : | 02:29 |
| joshu_ | pfifo as the system stands does it support hardware the same way a standard ubuntu install does? so although I'm testing in a VM I will need to run this on a laptop and need the ethernet, display brightness, usb ports, trackpad the basics to be supported? | 02:30 |
| Dr_Willis | PepperoniPizza, yep. its the app that handles the colors - not bash. make an ls alias if you want it to alwyas shows colors | 02:30 |
| joshu_ | pfifo btw the laptop I have checked is certified by ubuntu and is on the hardware list. It's more a question of whether this minimal system is missing the hardware support | 02:30 |
| pfifo | joshu_, yes, you should have what you need for hardware support, minus printing | 02:30 |
| joshu_ | pfifo thanks awesome! | 02:31 |
| PepperoniPizza | Dr_Willis, will do | 02:31 |
| joshu_ | pfifo with regards to configuring the system and as I can't login as a user, how do I "drop" to the console/ command line to make config changes? | 02:32 |
| pfifo | joshu_, use ctrl+alt+f1 and ctrl+alt+f7 | 02:32 |
| joshu_ | pfifo (bow)!!! thanks again for all your help you've got me on the right path I think! :D | 02:33 |
| pfifo | cheers | 02:34 |

| dsadel | you can remove the windows partition | 03:05 |

| hyprvx | no idea leotemp | 03:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | dsadel, can I | 03:05 |
| MrBarry | PsilOCybin, by default Ubuntu doesn't do anything in the Windows partition. | 03:05 |
| dsadel | yes | 03:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | How would i ago about removing the windows 7 partition | 03:05 |
| hyprvx | if it helps at all, then it's a CR-48 with the InsydeH2O BIOS | 03:05 |

| FloodBot1 | Psil0Cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:05 |
| Psil0Cybin | could I use gparted | 03:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | to remove windows 7 partition and then enlarge ubuntu | 03:06 |
| Psil0Cybin | i guess id have to use a bootable disk? again | 03:06 |
| MrBarry | PsilOCybin, I downloaded the System Rescue disc, which has gparted on it. You can use that. Download the iso of the CD, burn it to a CD, boot from that CD, and you'll be able to adjust your partitions. | 03:06 |
| hyprvx | Psil0Cybin, suggestion: Back up everything from Ubuntu, do a clean install erasing the hard drive | 03:06 |
| leotemp | hyprvx, okay, well try this, it worked for me, boot to your cd, click the start button and run boot repair, try the standard option, if it doesnt work, try the advanced and use the uefi options | 03:06 |
| dsadel | you were probably better off formating your entire HD if you only wish to run ubuntu | 03:07 |
| hxr | Psil0Cybin⚡ do you have grub installed as your main bootloader | 03:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | yup | 03:07 |

| dsadel | yes, as hyprvx said | 03:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | im just too lazy to do a fresh install | 03:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | yea so maybe ill just wait and do a clean install soon | 03:07 |
| Psil0Cybin | in a bit | 03:07 |
| leotemp | anyone feel up to talking me through installing the driver for my wifi card? | 03:08 |
| bas996 | Anyone have any luck with D'Link DWA-121 usb wifi adapter? | 03:08 |
| hyprvx | leotemp: booting into the CD now. Here's how I partitioned it: sda1 is ext4, main install partition. sda2 is EFI boot, for GRUB or whatever. sda3 is swap space | 03:08 |
| hxr | then you can remove the windows partition completly | 03:09 |
| hxr | Psil0Cybin⚡ ^ | 03:09 |
| leotemp | just run boot repair | 03:09 |
| hyprvx | alrighty then | 03:09 |
| hxr | use live cd to expand the linux partition to max drive | 03:09 |
| leotemp | sorry | 03:09 |

| HomelessSanta | genii, Don't know if it made any difference but when I installed Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS an hour ago it used the Quantal Kernel. | 04:13 |
| HomelessSanta | But I'll check those directories. | 04:13 |
| Nmbr1 | BillyZane: what do you mean install/run from /home? just install vbox and then build/import your vm to whatever location you want (e.g. /home) | 04:13 |
| HomelessSanta | Cause /etc/hosts doesn't seem to exist. | 04:13 |
| genii | If it doesn't exist then you're in a completely different world of trouble | 04:14 |

| antimatroid | h'okay, so I finally installed the new ubuntu that doesn't given me a bar along the bottom with all my open windows. Question: How do I easily access open windows with my mouse? It's currently taking me three clicks to access windows that are hidden which used to take one click! | 04:17 |
| antimatroid | at the moment i need to double click the application on the left then find the window I'm looking for and click that, rather inefficient :( | 04:18 |
| varunendra | antimatroid, install "compiz-config-settings-manager" and setup hot corners for "Scale" and "Expo" effects. Easiest way to access multiple windows/desktops. | 04:19 |
| Seegee | Does anoyone know Joobz? Or someone with a name like that? | 04:20 |
| antimatroid | why is the workspace switcher so crap now too | 04:21 |
| antimatroid | it used to let me just click the workspace i wanted (not that I ever actually used that, but I preferred the old one) | 04:21 |
| varunendra | antimatroid, it's just the way Unity works. The expo effect may help. | 04:23 |
| antimatroid | i would have expected clicking on the app to give me a list of open windows | 04:25 |
| antimatroid | is there a way to get that? | 04:25 |
| Wulframn | antimatroid, to be honest, most of us are focused more on just getting "back" to a point where our desktop just doesn't get in the way of our productivity. A lot of us have given up the desire, for now, for actual function. =P | 04:27 |
| varunendra | antimatroid, how is it different than what Unity does? | 04:27 |
| antimatroid | say I click pidgin when I'm on chrome, it just brings up the most recent active pidgin screen, I then need to click it again to get my entire desktop used to give me a list | 04:29 |
| antimatroid | i'd prefer to just click it once with a nice small list next to the app | 04:29 |
| antimatroid | i don't really like all these "fancy" effects things :P | 04:29 |
| antimatroid | but yes, the way you put it is perfect, I just want to get to a point where I'm not frustrated trying to do simple things, it kills my productivity | 04:30 |
| varunendra | antimatroid, I don't know how to set Unity like that. you may try a different de though. And the expo and scale effects have actually improved the accessibility for me. I use them for their usability, not because they are fancy :) | 04:31 |
| antimatroid | i'll have a play and see how I go, cheers :) | 04:32 |
| varunendra | antimatroid, with scale effect hot point, you just move your pointer to a corner of your choice and all (or only those on the current workspace) apps get organised on the screen to pick from. | 04:33 |
| varunendra | with their icons and names if you wish. | 04:33 |
| evan_ | how can i ssh to a machine that is idle? I get a Network timeout error. The machine is located elsewhere and there was a power outage. Now it's sleeping and I can't SSH onto it? i guess I have to go manually reboot it? | 04:35 |
| Pendrag0n | So my business partner is AWOL, and I need to attempt to do some of his work for him. This would include taking a OpenVZ VPS (ubuntu) and cloning it to a KVM VPS (ubuntu) box. I would like the ownership permissions all to stay the same. I am thinking maybe I could add his user, my user, the lighttpd user, samba, etc, then maybe change there user id's to match the old box before I rsync things over. Thoughts? | 04:37 |

| Pendrag0n | holstein: I'd like to try to keep an eye on each and everything copied, would like to have my hands in it, what can go wrong with changing the userid's? and where are some of the places I would need to fix if I do this? | 04:41 |
| genii | evan_: Looks like manual reboot time then | 04:41 |
| evan_ | genii: ughh | 04:41 |
| holstein | Pendrag0n: if you clone it, no where | 04:42 |

| Nmbr1 | evan_: what about trying a traceroute? | 04:42 |
| evan_ | Nmbr1: i havejn' | 04:43 |
| Pendrag0n | holstein: I may be forced to go that route, but for now, I'd like to copy things manually. I know i said clone, but it was the fastest way to articulate my situation, I don't LITERALLY want to clone everything, just 75%. And I need to pick and choose things very carefully. | 04:43 |
| antimatroid | i can't seem to get my changes to compiz to take effect :s even the click to show desktop didn't work after restarting | 04:43 |

| holstein | Pendrag0n: you'll grab whatever user data you want.. and fix permissions as needed | 04:45 |

| evan_ | If I set it to never sleep and turn off screensaver then will this not happen again? | 04:45 |
| holstein | Pendrag0n: as i said, grsync is a GUI front end to rsync, which is what you might want to use to copy the data.. rsync | 04:45 |
| Pendrag0n | I am just asking, if I add users manually, and go edit /etc/group to alter their group/user id's, what else do I have to change, and what can go wrong? | 04:46 |
| Pendrag0n | Oh I probably will use rsync | 04:46 |
| antimatroid | oh god, can i make alt tab go between open windows rather than apps too? | 04:46 |
| Pendrag0n | I just want to make sure the right users own the files once rsynced | 04:46 |
| holstein | Pendrag0n: you will check that manually | 04:47 |
| holstein | !chown | Pendrag0n | 04:47 |
| ubottu | Pendrag0n: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 04:47 |
| Pendrag0n | of course | 04:47 |
| Pendrag0n | I know that. | 04:47 |
| Pendrag0n | I am wondering like, let's say my user id on the old box is 17, but on the new box it's 19 | 04:47 |
| holstein | Pendrag0n: then, that is the answer.. you will make sure the user permissions are correct manually | 04:47 |
| Pendrag0n | if I edit the file, and change my answer to 17, can that break too much? | 04:47 |
| Pendrag0n | I meant my id, not my answer, sorry, brain fart | 04:48 |
| holstein | Pendrag0n: it might break permissions that you are expecting, when can be "fixed" with the link above | 04:48 |
| === tank is now known as Guest25453 | ||
| Pendrag0n | true, I know chown inside and out, I just didn't know if it was considered, like an extream "no-no" to alter a user ID manually. | 04:49 |
| Nmbr1 | Pendrag0n: that wouldn't break things so much as you could end up with mismatched permissions. If you are going to manually reassign ids I would make sure your lowest new id is higher than the highest old id. | 04:49 |
| Pendrag0n | Makes sense Nmbr1 | 04:50 |
| antimatroid | found an alt tab solution :) | 04:50 |
| evan_ | Nmbr1: trace route says destination host unreachable... maybe it isn't powered on after all.. i hope it didn't die.. lol should've gone into the office today | 04:55 |
| Nmbr1 | evan_: it doesn't sound like it is on... if this is a recurring problem it might be time for a new router | 04:56 |

| Nmbr1 | jiltdil: ##webshpere | 04:59 |
| jiltdil | Nmbr1, Oh! no one is there | 04:59 |
| evan_ | Nmbr1: it's a managed cisco router at my office and I have a dedicated mining rig going 24x7, something is happening on Friday early morning to make this happen. Maybe the router is rebooting or kicking me off for being on for a week? Not sure.. I'm not the IT guy there I Just use the equipment hehe | 05:00 |
| Name141 | What's the change to Mir going to mean for the user ? | 05:00 |
| Equinox3 | awesomeness | 05:01 |
| Nmbr1 | evan_: could be a dhcp lease problem. maybe your lease is expiring and the ip is being reassigned to a different device | 05:01 |
| Equinox3 | afaik xorg breaks stuff all the time | 05:01 |
| Nmbr1 | evan_: might be worth asking in ##networking | 05:01 |
| evan_ | Nmbr1: that was my thought, I checked that and it's been keeping the same IP. I went ahead and reserved it so that shouldn't change.. I think there's something cycling the power every week or kicking off all connections, who knows. | 05:02 |
| evan_ | Nmbr1: just means I need to go in to the office on Saturday morning until I figure it out :) | 05:02 |

| joubin | Has anyone here attempted to shrink the size of a ubuntu 12.04 server vm? | 05:29 |
| iceroot | !anyone | joubin | 05:29 |
| ubottu | joubin: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 05:29 |
| joubin | How do you shrink Ubuntu 12.04 server image so it is less than 1 GB | 05:30 |
| holstein | joubin: you can shrink or grow partitions | 05:30 |
| Alegreya | http://ubuntuforums.org/announce.html | 05:30 |
| Alegreya | *ALERT* | 05:30 |
| holstein | joubin: the install image is less than a gigabyte | 05:30 |
| iceroot | !gparted | joubin | 05:30 |
| ubottu | joubin: gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 05:30 |
| iceroot | joubin: if you are talking about the installed system | 05:30 |
| joubin | iceroot: no. I dont mean the size of the drives. | 05:31 |
| iceroot | joubin: the iso is already smaller then 1 gb | 05:31 |
| joubin | Im talking about the amount of space it takes to have the base system | 05:31 |
| joubin | Installed it is not. | 05:31 |
| joubin | http://puu.sh/3HUkd.png | 05:31 |
| iceroot | joubin: so your real question is "is it possible to have a running ubuntu system which needs less then 1gb space" | 05:31 |
| joubin | fresh install | 05:31 |
| joubin | yes | 05:31 |
| iceroot | joubin: i am not sure if that is possible, maybe you should have a look at the minimal.iso and only select things you really need | 05:32 |
| iceroot | !minimal | joubin | 05:32 |
| ubottu | joubin: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD | 05:32 |
| joubin | iceroot: Didnt know that existed. | 05:32 |
| aeon-ltd | joubin: i'm pretty sure you can't get smaller than server + no install options for ubuntu anyway | 05:32 |
| joubin | Perfect | 05:32 |
| joubin | cheers | 05:32 |
| joubin | Ill try it | 05:33 |
| joubin | Because debian server fresh install is about 800 mb | 05:33 |
| Psil0cybin | Hey guys can someone help me figure out whoy sometimes randomly i boot into console instead of the GUI | 05:33 |
| Psil0cybin | when i turn on my computer | 05:33 |
| iceroot | joubin: my debian is even smaller then 500mb by default (expert install and remove what you not need) | 05:34 |
| Psil0cybin | it only happends randomly and usually works and goes into the GUI but sometimes it boots into a text terminal....and all i can do is restart to get it to work | 05:34 |
| Psil0cybin | I went to additional drivers, and had two drivers selected so i only selected the onld one thinking the new driver is causing errors, and still nothing | 05:34 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: What version are you running? | 05:34 |
| Psil0cybin | 12.04 | 05:34 |
| joubin | Is this a vm or a real machine? | 05:35 |
| Psil0cybin | real machine | 05:35 |
| Psil0cybin | it only randomly started happening since i updated | 05:35 |
| Psil0cybin | but i thought it was because my driver got updated so i unselected the new update and still it happends randomly | 05:36 |
| Psil0cybin | like here and there | 05:36 |
| joubin | hmm. Makes me think its driver | 05:36 |
| Psil0cybin | ill turn on my laptop and get the console | 05:36 |
| joubin | purge the driver | 05:36 |
| joubin | and reinstall it | 05:36 |
| Psil0cybin | but im using the old driver | 05:36 |
| Psil0cybin | that used to work | 05:36 |
| Psil0cybin | if it was the driver woudnt it happen every time | 05:36 |
| joubin | Is it possible that something got mis configured after the update? | 05:36 |
| Psil0cybin | how come sometimes it works? | 05:36 |
| Psil0cybin | I am not sure that is a good question joubin | 05:36 |
| holstein | Psil0cybin: if you think the driver is the issue, you could try using the vesa driver, and see if you still have the issue | 05:36 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: Fail question. | 05:37 |
| joubin | fair* | 05:37 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: I would recommend to look at dmesg next time it doesnt boot into the system | 05:38 |
| joubin | I mean the gui | 05:38 |
| Psil0cybin | all it does | 05:38 |
| Psil0cybin | is show me my login | 05:38 |
| Psil0cybin | so id login and do what? | 05:38 |
| Psil0cybin | where can i find the dmesg | 05:38 |
| joubin | run the command "dmesg " | 05:38 |
| Psil0cybin | oh | 05:38 |
| joubin | !dmesg | Psil0cybin | 05:38 |
| ubottu | Psil0cybin: dmesg is a console command which outputs the kernel ring buffer - an important log for diagnosing problems in Linux. Often when something errors with hardware it will result in additional lines reported which can be seen by running dmesg in a console. | 05:38 |
| Psil0cybin | perfect | 05:38 |
| holstein | !enter > Psil0cybin | 05:38 |
| ubottu | Psil0cybin, please see my private message | 05:38 |
| joubin | lol holstein | 05:38 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: so in the log, you will see a bunch of stuff | 05:39 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: look for anything to do with unity, gnome, x11 | 05:39 |
| Psil0cybin | Okay | 05:39 |
| joubin | you might want to run, 'dmesg | less' and go through it | 05:39 |
| Psil0cybin | If i got into the GUI and did it now, would it still work or only when it fails a boot? | 05:39 |
| joubin | You might have warnings in there even if it boots normally which might help you. | 05:40 |
| joubin | But you will for sure see something that will help if it fails | 05:40 |
| Psil0cybin | okay thank you so much | 05:41 |
| joubin | No worries. | 05:41 |
| Psil0cybin | ill wait until it fails again lol its so random, blows my mind...if it actually is the driver id be so confused why it works on and off | 05:41 |
| joubin | Let me know how it goes | 05:41 |
| Psil0cybin | forsure :) thanks again that helped me alot | 05:41 |
| dfsld | how | 05:41 |
| holstein | Psil0cybin: it would work on an off becuase of random crashes | 05:42 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: holstein is right. Drivers can randomly crash due to poor configuration. I've had a random audio driver that im too lazy to fix :D | 05:43 |

| konner | So after long periods of time, everything kinda just freezes, it seems responsive. I'm able to pause and play songs but nothing lets me do anything. I can't change windows, I can't click anything, i'm forced to reboot to get it working again | 05:45 |
| konner | I'm on Ubuntu 13.04 64 bit | 05:45 |
| holstein | konner: i would try booting an older kernel, if you just did an upgrade.. if not, look for and apply all upgrades | 05:45 |
| konner | I actually just did a clean install and did apt-get upgrade | 05:46 |
| holstein | konner: so, you should have an older kernel in the list, then | 05:46 |
| konner | I'll reboot and check | 05:46 |
| konner | brb | 05:46 |
| joubin | holstein: How did you undrestand konner. "I'm able to pause and play songs but nothing lets me do anything." | 05:47 |
| joubin | lol. Its getting late for me cuz I didnt even know what that was asking | 05:47 |
| === crash is now known as Guest90211 | ||
| konner | hopefully this fixes it. | 05:48 |
| konner | I've tried and tried to make Linux my main OS, since some of the games I play do work on here through wine, but I always run into instabilites. | 05:49 |
| Guest90211 | what does "Could not demultiplex stream" mean and how can i fix it? Thank you | 05:49 |
| joubin | Guest90211: also known as crash What were you doing when you got that error | 05:50 |
| Guest90211 | trying to play a movie on the factory ubuntu movie player | 05:50 |
| psilo | that's not necessarily a "crash" at all | 05:50 |
| psilo | Guest90211: I get random demuxing errors/warnings in mplayer output all the time during playback. Is it actually affecting the playback? | 05:51 |
| joubin | no Guest90211 nicks was crash. I was saying Guest90211 also known as crash. Not sure why he changed nicks | 05:51 |
| konner | Do have a quick question. How is Kubuntu now a days? Back when I used it a few years ago it was crap. | 05:51 |
| psilo | joubin: ahhh | 05:51 |
| Guest90211 | first time using xchat, still getting used to it | 05:52 |
| holstein | konner: in the future, consider doing the same as you do for windows.. purchase from a reseller, such as system76. with support, and hardware designe for linux support | 05:52 |
| joubin | konner: I still hate it | 05:52 |
| konner | I built my PC. | 05:52 |
| konner | I refuse OEMs | 05:52 |
| holstein | konner: kubuntu can be ran from a live CD.. | 05:52 |
| joubin | konner: I dont like KDE but thats a preference thing. | 05:52 |
| holstein | konner: you can still visit the OEM's, and see what hardware they use.. an email to system76 would tell you what hardware they use | 05:52 |
| konner | true.. | 05:53 |
| konner | I do really like how unity changes color to my wallpaper now, I haven't used 13.04 before. | 05:53 |
| joubin | Yeah, but do you all think its a hardware issue. Ubuntu has been REALLY good at hw compatibility in my experiance. Specially with main stream brands | 05:53 |
| konner | Well I do know I always have issues with my Radeon HD 7870. | 05:54 |
| konner | Poor OpenGL performance in everything | 05:54 |
| konner | Even with the proprietary drivers | 05:54 |
| mon2908 | radeon or fglrx? | 05:54 |
| joubin | Yeah. Ive never owned graphic cards before. So I wouldnt know about gpu compatibility | 05:54 |
| konner | fglrx. | 05:54 |
| mon2908 | I know why I have nvidia | 05:55 |
| holstein | konner: if you want a stable system, you should try and get some intel hardware that is really well supported, and just use it, and enjoy a stable linux environment for a bit.. | 05:55 |
| konner | Yeah, my next PC is gonna be intel. I regret AMD | 05:55 |

| joubin | All of my friends do that. They just dual boot to windows for games and back to linux for development | 05:57 |
| konner | I was gonna but eh. I have a 120GB SSD and a 1TB HDD for data, I just dont like switching. I prefer one OS | 05:58 |
| joubin | 120. Thats random :D | 05:58 |
| konner | ikr haha. Samsung 840 series | 05:58 |
| Nmbr1 | konner: if you don't want to switch, have you considered running ubuntu in vbox on a windows host? | 05:59 |
| mumpitzel | konner: if you insist on linux for gaming, your game selection will be quite limited | 05:59 |
| konner | I find virtualbox performance sluggish | 05:59 |
| konner | I always prefer native hardware | 05:59 |
| mumpitzel | konner: what cpu and mainboard do you have? | 05:59 |
| Nmbr1 | meh just depends on how good your hardware is | 05:59 |
| konner | AMD FX-8350 and an Asus Crosshair V Formula Z | 05:59 |
| Nmbr1 | i've done both can't say i have a preference | 06:00 |
| joubin | yeah. I find vms really fast so long as you have an ssd | 06:00 |
| mumpitzel | then you can use PCI passthrough. no need for crutches like desktop virtualization. you can use kvm, esxi or others | 06:00 |
| konner | I have 8GB DDR-2133 but the ram runs at 1600Mhz for some reason | 06:00 |

| joubin | konner: My main machine is a macbook air and I run 2-3 Ubuntu vms for development. Never thought they were slow and my cpu is way slower than yours | 06:00 |
| konner | DDR3-2133 I mean. | 06:01 |
| konner | Idk maybe I'm just dumb with virtual machines. | 06:01 |
| joubin | vader: I looked at it. No idea. Sorry | 06:01 |
| joubin | konner: No, youre right that they are slower. Thats been my experience with non ssd machines. I also run them headless and ssh into them | 06:02 |

| joubin | everytime | 06:09 |
| joubin | without fail | 06:09 |
| holy_rain | Yea. | 06:09 |
| joubin | has it always done this or did it start at some point | 06:09 |
| holy_rain | There are some strange things happening with my computer, one among them is this. | 06:09 |
| holy_rain | Its been like this for quite a while | 06:10 |
| holy_rain | I mean, for 2-3 weeks or so. | 06:10 |
| holstein | holy_rain: i would look at the hardware. you say "as far as i know, the hardware is fine".. how? | 06:10 |
| holstein | holy_rain: that could be a failing motherboard | 06:10 |
| holy_rain | Because every device connected to the USB ports works fine. | 06:10 |
| holstein | holy_rain: whats the issue then? | 06:11 |
| holy_rain | I just want to know why I'm getting this error. | 06:11 |

| drjeats | bg info: macbook pro3-1, ubuntu13.04, had to enable nomodeset in the grub commands | 06:13 |
| joubin | holy_rain: I have no idea. Everything looks normal and you say every USB port works | 06:13 |
| holy_rain | joubin, Yea, that's what puzzles me. I'd say a couple of things also. | 06:14 |
| holy_rain | joubin, My touchpad stopped working. Now it kind of acts strange. | 06:14 |
| holy_rain | joubin, If I enable it, it would do an 'autoclick'. | 06:14 |
| joubin | Hmm is the mouse you have bluetooth | 06:15 |
| joubin | the one you said is using one of your usb ports | 06:15 |
| holy_rain | joubin, means, if I put the mouse pointer on top of a folder and enable the touch pad, an infinite number of folders would open, I think you got what I meant to say. | 06:15 |
| holy_rain | joubin, No, it is a USB mouse. | 06:16 |
| holy_rain | joubin, And from last week, the 'tab' key is also behaving in a simiar fashion. It wouldn't work always, but when it works, If I'm typing something, I'll have a bad time taming it. :( | 06:17 |
| joubin | I think your system is trying to activate a bluetooth device that it cant find or has the wrong driver for. I would search around and see if you can get a list of drivers installed and correlate them with your hardware. See whats missing. | 06:17 |
| joubin | I take that back holstein was right. Bad mb. | 06:17 |
| joubin | :D | 06:17 |
| holy_rain | :( | 06:18 |
| holy_rain | joubin, and one more thing, now the system boots up with a loud scream. | 06:20 |
| holy_rain | joubin, So your final verdict-bad mother board? :'( | 06:20 |
| joubin | yeah. Also, next time, I would lead with that | 06:20 |

| joubin | k. Looking | 06:23 |
| Psil0cybin | thank you | 06:25 |
| Psil0cybin | i looked too but im still new to linux so i dont know what exactly to look for. | 06:25 |
| Psil0cybin | could it be this? [ 30.648216] init: lightdm main process (1073) terminated with status 1 | 06:27 |
| Psil0cybin | but i dont understand why its being terminated. | 06:27 |
| joubin | Okay | 06:27 |
| joubin | Yeah. I dont think anyone reads one of these and knows whats happening | 06:28 |
| joubin | so this is what I did. | 06:28 |
| joubin | line 874 looks intresting. | 06:28 |
| joubin | something terminating with status 1 | 06:28 |
| joubin | 1 = fail | 06:28 |

| joubin | ubuntu forums seems to be down | 06:29 |
| joubin | so Im looking at cached stuff | 06:29 |
| joubin | Looks like something with your kde, gnome, or unity | 06:29 |
| reisio | Onixs: doesn't matter | 06:29 |
| joubin | consider reinstalling | 06:29 |
| joubin | not the system | 06:29 |
| joubin | but the UI | 06:29 |
| reisio | joubin: you talking to someone? | 06:29 |
| joubin | reisio: yeah. to Psil0cybin | 06:30 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: look above. :D | 06:30 |
| reisio | one tripped out mushy room | 06:30 |
| Psil0cybin | joubin, god damnit it worked perfectly fine until i updated | 06:30 |
| Psil0cybin | i use Xfce | 06:30 |
| Psil0cybin | i dont want to have to reconfigure it all >.< | 06:30 |
| Psil0cybin | is there any other way | 06:30 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: Well, you might wanna hangout around this room until someone else has an idea. Im not a 100% sure thats why. Just a guess. | 06:31 |
| joubin | I would say you have something misconfigured | 06:31 |
| joubin | not sure what | 06:32 |
| Psil0cybin | hmmmm god darn >.< updates | 06:32 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: I know it sounds harsh. But when I was new to Linux, I was reinstalling and reconfiguring once a week. | 06:32 |
| Psil0cybin | took our jerrrbs | 06:32 |
| Psil0cybin | really eh joubin | 06:32 |
| joubin | Only way to learn. | 06:33 |
| Psil0cybin | Yea i guess I just didnt think that a simple update could do such crazy things | 06:33 |
| Psil0cybin | I thought id have to mess around a file personally to cause this | 06:33 |
| Psil0cybin | with a file* | 06:33 |
| joubin | Well, it depends what youre doing. | 06:33 |
| joubin | as far as I know Xfce is not something that ships with ubuntu | 06:33 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| joubin | so, you would have had to configure it | 06:34 |
| joubin | right? | 06:34 |
| joubin | uninstall unity and install xfce? Psil0cybin | 06:34 |
| reeed | Xubuntu = Xfce + Ubuntu | 06:35 |
| joubin | Psil0cybin: which update broke it | 06:35 |
| joubin | were you on 12.04 and went to 13 | 06:35 |
| Psil0cybin | 3.2.0-49 | 06:35 |
| Psil0cybin | no | 06:35 |
| Psil0cybin | im still on 12.04 | 06:35 |
| FloodBot1 | Psil0cybin: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 06:35 |
| Psil0cybin | it was a kernal update | 06:35 |
| Psil0cybin | i went from 3.2.0-48 to 3.2.0-49 | 06:36 |
| Psil0cybin | do you still think it could be a driver | 06:36 |
| Psil0cybin | or would it have specified? | 06:36 |
| wilee-nilee | joubin, for what its worth unity is a plugin in compiz on top of gnome 3 you can't just remove it. | 06:36 |

| lorddelta | mine seems to be stuck at 2.0.5 | 06:42 |
| wilee-nilee | yes | 06:42 |
| lorddelta | wilee-nilee: ok | 06:42 |
| joubin | Wow. Thats trust right there | 06:42 |
| al_nz1 | So I setup a nat rule for SNAT on my linux machine (192.168.15.200) and made the rule --to-source 192.168.15.201 but from my windows machine I can still ping 192.168.15.200 ? and wireshark on the windows machine still shows a mixture of packets (broadcast and ping) coming from .201 ? | 06:43 |
| Ari-Yang | lorddelta, I recommend mplayer or mpv (new fork of mplayer/mplayer2) | 06:43 |
| lorddelta | joubin: I trust vlc, I don't know who wilee-nilee is but I choose to trust in people | 06:43 |
| joubin | specially to someone named wilee-nilee. No offense wilee-nilee | 06:43 |
| lorddelta | As misplaced as I know that trust is often is ;) | 06:43 |
| joubin | lol | 06:43 |
| joubin | I dont disagree. I was just having fun | 06:43 |
| lorddelta | Ari-Yang; please don't tell people that, I like vlc for a number of reasons, I was never able to get used to mplayer. | 06:44 |

| hemangpatel | Hi | 06:56 |
| hemangpatel | http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/07/countdown-appears-on-ubuntu-website where ? it's gone ? | 06:56 |
| cfhowlett | hemangpatel, gone. no further info. | 06:57 |
| reisio | #ubuntu-touch or something | 06:57 |
| hemangpatel | ok | 06:58 |
| delinquentme | for images to be browseable in nautilus ... does nautilus need to be part of some group? | 06:59 |
| delinquentme | or those images .. part of a group? | 06:59 |
| cfhowlett | delinquentme, not that I know of ... | 07:00 |
| delinquentme | cfhowlett, so I removed the 777 permission off a bunch of images which came from my phone | 07:00 |
| delinquentme | and now they're not veiwable through nautilus | 07:00 |
| mathfreak | delinquentme: 777 stands for read, write, and execute for all users. Removing those permissions means that no one can read those images (including nautilus) | 07:01 |
| delinquentme | I gave it 0644 | 07:01 |
| delinquentme | this works fine for text files | 07:02 |
| cfhowlett | delinquentme, err. try an alternate file browser to test your theory. Or, are those files viewable outside of nautilus ... say with shotwell or something. | 07:02 |
| delinquentme | why not images? | 07:02 |
| delinquentme | yeah I can see them through bash | 07:02 |
| delinquentme | just not nautilus | 07:02 |
| cfhowlett | delinquentme, so then it can't be a permission issue would be my *guess* ... | 07:02 |
| stone_cold | I just downloaded Ubuntu 12.04 64 bit.. but the filename is ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-amd64.iso ... Does it support Intel chips | 07:02 |
| cfhowlett | stone_cold, yes it does support 64 bit | 07:02 |
| hemangpatel | may be : http://theboblego.imgur.com/all/ | 07:02 |
| mathfreak | delinquentme: Have you tried reloading the directory in nautilus? | 07:02 |
| hemangpatel | or http://design.canonical.com/wp-content/uploads/IMG_1644.jpg | 07:02 |
| drjeats | is seeing text appearing saying "* Starting LightDM Display Manager" with more following, eventually getting to "*Stopping enable remaining boot-time encrypted block devices" normal on boot? (liveCD) | 07:03 |
| delinquentme | mathfreak, I have =/ | 07:03 |
| cfhowlett | !touch|hemangpatel, | 07:03 |
| ubottu | hemangpatel,: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 07:03 |
| lotuspsychje | !64bit | stone_cold | 07:03 |
| ubottu | stone_cold: AMD64 and Intel 64 are fully supported architectures on Ubuntu. Consider using 64-bit if your memory ussage exceeds 4GB. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/32bit_and_64bit | 07:03 |
| stone_cold | lotuspsychje: thanks... I was just confused when the filename as AMD... | 07:04 |
| mathfreak | delinquentme: Only thing I can think of now is clearing the .thumbnails folder in your home directory to force nautilus to create new thumbnails for those images. | 07:04 |
| cfhowlett | mathfreak, good one. I didn't think of that. | 07:05 |
| cfhowlett | stone_cold, you and most of us. not to worry. | 07:05 |
| delinquentme | mathfreak, so I just opened it with $gksudo nautilus | 07:06 |
| delinquentme | and they're all there | 07:06 |
| cfhowlett | !cookie|mathfreak, | 07:06 |
| ubottu | mathfreak,: Wow! You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie! | 07:06 |
| lotuspsychje | cfhowlett: you can also eat a cookie yourself :p | 07:07 |
| delinquentme | haha well that doesnt fix the issue | 07:08 |
| mathfreak | delinquentme: You mean the thumbnails for the images are there, right? | 07:08 |
| delinquentme | correct | 07:08 |
| syn-ack | Good evening. | 07:08 |
| delinquentme | and I can open / view them as I can normally | 07:08 |
| cfhowlett | syn-ack, greetings | 07:08 |
| redintellect | hi | 07:09 |
| delinquentme | I am seeing this (totem-video-thumbnailer:3185): GLib-CRITICAL **: g_date_new_dmy: assertion `g_date_valid_dmy (day, m, y)' failed | 07:09 |
| delinquentme | in the output from the bash which activated gksudo nautilus | 07:09 |
| redintellect | I have serious problems installing another linux alongside my ubuntu | 07:09 |
| lotuspsychje | delinquentme: i get warnings like that on sux aswell, i wouldnt care too much | 07:09 |
| cfhowlett | delinquentme, wonder if this could be a naming issue on those imported files .. perhaps a leading non-readable character? | 07:10 |
| redintellect | I mean is the installation on default (take all the hard disk) an encrypted installation or something? | 07:10 |
| delinquentme | cfhowlett, but then it would be an issue across all instances of nautilus then no? | 07:10 |
| delinquentme | If I can see the images w the sudo version of nautilus ... then Im thinking its some kind of weird permission issue | 07:10 |
| * cfhowlett ... is currently in deep ponder mode ... | 07:11 | |
| mathfreak | delinquentme: Hmm... looks like root gets its own .thumbnails directory when you run nautilus with superuser privileges. Perhaps nautilus generated new thumbnails when you visited that directory for the first time as root? | 07:11 |
| cfhowlett | delinquentme, leave gksudo and test if they show up in your normal nautilus | 07:12 |
| delinquentme | so ~/.thumbnails regenerates if I delete it? | 07:12 |
| delinquentme | cfhowlett, they currently dont | 07:12 |
| lotuspsychje | !info sux | delinquentme | 07:12 |
| ubottu | delinquentme: sux (source: sux): wrapper around su which will transfer your X credentials. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.0.1-6 (raring), package size 9 kB, installed size 64 kB | 07:12 |
| stone_cold | cfhowlett: roger that bro | 07:13 |
| lotuspsychje | delinquentme: try the same sux user nautilus | 07:13 |
| mathfreak | delinquentme: Yes. .thumbnails will regenerate | 07:13 |
| delinquentme | lotuspsychje, sorry I dont understand | 07:18 |
| delinquentme | download this util ? $ sudo sux xauth: creating new authority file /root/.Xauthority | 07:19 |
| delinquentme | shit. I dont think I meant to do that? | 07:19 |
| lotuspsychje | delinquentme: i just seen those warnings like you got | 07:19 |

| Shed-34046 | Why won't compiz work in xubuntu running with 512mb of ram in virtual box? | 07:22 |
| reisio | Shed-34046: did you give it any graphics access? | 07:23 |
| Shed-34046 | reisio how do i do this? | 07:23 |
| reisio | in general acceleration in a virtualized guest is tricky | 07:23 |
| cfhowlett | Shed-34046, because it's virtualbox i.e. virtual gpu is my guess | 07:23 |
| reisio | Shed-34046: in the settings for the VM | 07:23 |
| taek | Shed-34046: In most cases you wont get graphics acceleration in virtualbox | 07:23 |
| reisio | I don't know about most cases | 07:23 |
| reisio | but you might have to give it what it requires | 07:23 |
| Shed-34046 | under display? | 07:24 |
| taek | Even in windows, you get the same issue | 07:24 |
| reisio | and it won't be worth it except to prove you can do it | 07:24 |
| reisio | Shed-34046: I forget | 07:24 |
| Shed-34046 | My graphics card is amd raedion 3200. | 07:24 |
| reisio | guest additions plays a role, too | 07:24 |
| taek | ^ | 07:24 |
| Shed-34046 | By the looks of it under display it says virtual box only gives it 12mb of video memory | 07:25 |
| Shed-34046 | And it won't let me change that | 07:25 |
| taek | Shed-34046: did you install the linux guest additions? | 07:25 |
| Shed-34046 | yes | 07:25 |
| reisio | your graphics hardware might not have anything to spare | 07:26 |
| taek | THen I am affraid your hard ware might not support it. (IE Processor Emulation Mode) | 07:26 |
| cfhowlett | Shed-34046, the default video memory is 12. to change that you'd have to create a new VM and set it | 07:26 |

| Mammutpanzer | Hello great community. I would like to know how to check the integrity of sudo apt-get install, sudo apt-get update and sudo apt-get upgrade. Can anyone help me? | 07:26 |
| taek | ^ | 07:26 |
| reisio | gotta stop it first | 07:26 |
| Shed-34046 | How much video memory does compiz require? | 07:26 |
| lotuspsychje | !aptitude | Mammutpanzer | 07:26 |
| ubottu | Mammutpanzer: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and 12.04) as aptitude cannot handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 07:26 |
| cfhowlett | Mammutpanzer, integrity? meaning what? integrity checking is built in to apt ... | 07:27 |
| reisio | Shed-34046: more than 0 | 07:27 |
| delinquentme | http://pastie.org/8160493 | 07:27 |
| lotuspsychje | cobra-the-joker: what you mean by mouse-clicks? can you define your issue specific? | 07:27 |
| taek | Shed-34046: Correctly shutdown the Virtual Machine, then attempt to adjust the graphics settings. | 07:27 |
| delinquentme | what the helllll | 07:27 |
| delinquentme | also this is crazy: | 07:27 |
| Shed-34046 | taek is 20mb enough for compiz? | 07:28 |
| cobra-the-joker | lotuspsychje: i opened this game ... and it wont allow me to click either "allow " or" deny " on the box inside the flash object | 07:28 |
| delinquentme | http://pastie.org/8160495 | 07:28 |
| delinquentme | check out the bottom one ... thats what I get when I ls -l /old_phone_pics | 07:28 |
| reisio | Shed-34046: either it will be or it won't be | 07:28 |
| delinquentme | whaaaaat | 07:28 |
| reisio | #vbox would have more details | 07:28 |
| taek | Shed-34046: Probably not. | 07:28 |
| lotuspsychje | cobra-the-joker: did you try different browsers? | 07:29 |
| cobra-the-joker | i only have firefox | 07:29 |
| Shed-34046 | I googled it said compiz requires 3D Acceleration.. Enabled it in virtual box seeing if compiz work now. | 07:29 |
| lotuspsychje | cobra-the-joker: you could try google-chrome, maybe its the game itself thats bad? | 07:30 |
| lotuspsychje | cobra-the-joker: other flash working flawless like youtubes? | 07:31 |
| Mammutpanzer | cfhowlett: Well if I download and install software via sudo apt-get install I know it downloads the software. However as far as I know there is no control over if the data send is corrupted or not. I know someone could change the software I download and then my computer is compromised. I read at debian about apt-secure and the apt-secure man page but that didn't help me. I would like to know if I can check that the software I do | 07:31 |
| cobra-the-joker | lotuspsychje: the problem is that when i have this "allow,deny" dialog ... you cant click on it | 07:31 |
| cobra-the-joker | https://apps.facebook.com/jetpackjoyride/?fb_source=bookmark_apps&ref=bookmarks&count=0&fb_bmpos=2_0 | 07:31 |

| cfhowlett | Mammutpanzer, all software is run through a md5sum hash sum check. you can manually download and then check each package but apt does that for you... | 07:32 |
| cfhowlett | Mammutpanzer, don't know about apt-secure, but it would take a pretty good hack to infect a package and NOT have the hash check detect the change | 07:33 |

| delinquentme | does there happen to be a " clone all access permissions of a file " type command? | 07:36 |

| cfhowlett | Mammutpanzer, over my head. but exactly how many instances have you heard of infected packages being delivered via the repositories in ubuntu? Do a bit of research before you submit to the paranoia? | 07:36 |

| wilee-nilee | antimatroid, There is a nice weather extension in the gnome-shell, not sure why that one does not work or another made for unity. | 07:37 |

| reisio | syn-ack: they still exist if you're rich enough, apparently | 07:39 |
| syn-ack | reisio, it can, just not directly. | 07:39 |

| reisio | delinquentme: what're you after exactly? | 07:39 |
| Mammutpanzer | cfhowlett there are many reasons I switched from Windows (yes I have been using Windows for years :( ) to Ubuntu (kUbuntu to be more specific). To name a few open source, free software, security | 07:40 |
| syn-ack | reisio, tar will hand it off to gzip to zip a file. | 07:40 |

| taek | Never heard of this execute bit as i've never had any issue with cd commands :D | 07:50 |

| mathfreak | taek: Yeah, I had to play with the permission bits on directories a few times to understand what did what. | 07:51 |
| taek | reisio: a weird way?. in most phones now you just mount the storage device (ie phone) | 07:52 |

| === Guest60477|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| crazybrain | guys help me | 09:00 |

| hjubal | varunendra, I don't like using gui, sorry | 09:02 |

| Marcus_ | Hellow, I need help installing a grub on a read-only filesystem (HDD), how I do? | 09:03 |
| reisio | Marcus_: #grub | 09:03 |
| Ori | Hello, I can't access my localhost. http://pastebin.com/DhK8HHDH | 09:04 |
| varunendra | hjubal, didn't get the gui thing. Was it related to something else ? | 09:04 |
| hjubal | varunendra, could I run "modprob -r wl" and "modprobe brcmsmac" to achieve the same result? | 09:04 |
| taek | Ori: #apache | 09:04 |
| vader | Any cli users here want to chime in on the vlc command to play a video on the framebuffer? The best I get is sound & caca vid :/ | 09:04 |
| Ori | taek: Makes sense. Thanks | 09:05 |
| taek | at anyrate, Ori remove NameVirtualServer 127.0.0.1 | 09:05 |
| taek | and then service apache2 restart | 09:05 |
| varunendra | hjubal, maybe, but I suspect the wl configuration may interfere. Besides, brcmsmac is well tested on 13.04. But trying won't hurt :) | 09:05 |
| Ori | ok will try that | 09:05 |
| hjubal | I mean, I could blacklist wl if it works | 09:05 |
| hjubal | varunendra, I need to be careful, as this c**py laptop doesn't have any wired card | 09:06 |
| taek | hjubal: No RJ-45 Jack? | 09:06 |
| hjubal | varunendra, thanks, I'll give it a try on next boot | 09:06 |
| hjubal | taek, nope | 09:07 |
| varunendra | hjubal, I am fairly confident with brcmsmac, but don't you have another system around with a working wireless? | 09:07 |
| taek | Good Luck :D | 09:07 |
| hjubal | taek, it was my fault, I did't check as I gave it for sure :/ | 09:07 |
| hjubal | varunendra, no, I remove win8 as I don't use it | 09:08 |
| varunendra | hjubal, you may use "apt-get install --print-uris bcmwl-kernel-source" command to get URIs of the required packages to use them on another computer to download manually. Then you can manually install them with "sudo dpkg -i *" command. | 09:09 |
| hjubal | taek, varunendra how does Ubuntu decide which module to load if both brcmsmac and bcmwl support my wireless card? | 09:10 |
| varunendra | hjubal, but I think you may also have the packages cached in the "/var/cache/apt/archives" directory. | 09:10 |
| varunendra | hjubal, mostly it is about priority. But the wl driver also 'Blacklists' all other contending drivers. That's another reason why we need to purge it. | 09:11 |
| Neodiablow | Hi, I'm looking for the package referenced by this documentation : http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man4/pf.4.html | 09:12 |
| Neodiablow | but I can't find the package for ubuntu with apt-get | 09:12 |
| Neodiablow | any idea where I can find the sources? | 09:13 |

| thechris | anyone here good with troubleshooting sshd? | 09:15 |
| thechris | basically, I'm trying to connect to a nas box using a private key, but can't. | 09:16 |
| thechris | on my end, the correct key is being used. | 09:16 |
| thechris | but I've got no idea what the server is doing, other than it supports publickey, and also has RSA enabled | 09:17 |
| taek | thechris did you do add-ssh key /path/to/key.pub ? | 09:17 |
| thechris | taek, no that command doesn't exist on the nas | 09:18 |
| ndou | ciao | 09:19 |
| taek | Is the NAS running Ubuntu? | 09:19 |
| ndou | !list | 09:19 |
| ubottu | ndou: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». | 09:19 |
| thechris | taek: no, its running nas4free | 09:19 |
| thechris | which is running sshd | 09:20 |
| taek | Has nothing to do with Ubuntu then. | 09:20 |
| thechris | so what does "add key" do then? | 09:21 |
| taek | It allows you to ssh/sftp into a server that requires a key.pub file | 09:21 |
| besp | The 2> construction isn't working for me in bash. For example if I do `time wc file 2>time.out`, the time output still goes to my terminal and time.out is empty. How can I redirect stderr to a file? | 09:21 |
| thechris | apparently this isnt' the channel to ask linux questions | 09:22 |
| taek | This is for ubuntu Specific. | 09:22 |
| thechris | ok, what are some good non-ubuntu channels for general linux/sshd help? | 09:23 |
| varunendra | besp, it should work. Are you sure it is stderr and not stdout? | 09:23 |
| taek | you can try with #sshd | 09:23 |
| taek | not sure if there's a #nas4free channel but you can try | 09:24 |
| reisio | thechris: #linux | 09:24 |
| besp | varunendra: yeah I'm sure. time wc file >wc.out still prints the time output. The man page says time outputs to stderr by default, although I suppose the man page could be outdated/wrong. | 09:25 |
| varunendra | besp, is > same as 2> ?? | 09:27 |
| besp | varunendra: no I did the command with > to show that time does not print to stdout. wc prints to stdout and time prints to stderr (or so it seems) though 2> doesn't redirect the output of time. | 09:30 |
| varunendra | besp, 2> should print the stderr to the file. If you want both the stdout and stderr redirected, you may use "cmd >>file.txt 2>&1" format (source : http://stackoverflow.com/questions/876239/bash-redirect-and-append-both-stdout-and-stderr) | 09:31 |
| besp | varunendra: I figured it out, bash fucks with the time command: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashFAQ/032 | 09:34 |

| varunendra | tracekill, that seems too much over my head, but have you cross-checked if those firmware files in the dmesg part exist in their locations? And that your new iwlwifi actually requests them? | 09:45 |
| irssi-mike | reisio: that did nothing, i think | 09:45 |
| reisio | thinking :p | 09:46 |
| irssi-mike | ikr | 09:46 |
| tracekill | varunendra, iwlwifi definitely doesn't seem to be requesting them thoug the firmware file is right where the other ones are. | 09:46 |
| tracekill | /lib/firmware | 09:46 |
| LeMike | hello. i do not see the problem in this line. it says "missing arg to execdir". can someone help? ``` find . -name "phpdoc.dist.xml" -execdir phpdoc ; ``` | 09:47 |
| varunendra | tracekill, I didn't go through the page you gave links of, but just to make sure - is it the iwlwifi that should still handle the card? If so, the output of 'modinfo iwlwifi' please. | 09:48 |
| tracekill | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5896763/ | 09:50 |
| varunendra | tracekill, first of all, it doesn't seem to recognize your card, there is no alias entry for your card's PID : VID . So messing with firmware is pointless until it recognizes that, and includes the firmware in its 'firmware' list. | 09:54 |
| tracekill | Yeah that's the part i cannot get it to do. | 09:54 |
| === beni-_ is now known as beni- | ||
| tracekill | How do I accomplish that? | 09:55 |
| varunendra | tracekill, did you try compat wireless drivers? | 09:55 |
| tracekill | Not to my knowledge. | 09:55 |
| varunendra | tracekill, unfortunately, my primary source of info is down (ubuntuforums), but you should find links on how to compile them. I'd try the latest version that builds successfully on the system. | 09:57 |
| varunendra | tracekill, according to http://wikidevi.com/wiki/Intel_Dual_Band_Wireless-AC_7260_(7260HMW) the driver in kernel 3.11 seems to have support for this card. You may try the same compat wireless version and see if it builds successfully. | 10:00 |
| ANub | Hey!!! When ubuntuforums are expected to come up?? | 10:00 |
| bekks | When they are finished :P | 10:01 |
| varunendra | ANub, we know only as much as displayed on the notification page. | 10:01 |
| mJayk | ANub: keep checking the splash screen | 10:01 |
| tracekill | varunendra okay aweomse, Ill check it out! | 10:01 |
| varunendra | good luck ! | 10:01 |
| ANub | Eager to paste solution of my own query....:) | 10:01 |
| tracekill | varunendra, what do you mean by the compat wireless drivers? Is this a package available? | 10:01 |
| varunendra | tracekill, there should be. Think of them as backported drivers. Only they need to be compiled manually. | 10:02 |
| varunendra | ANub, what was that by the way ? :) | 10:06 |
| ANub | <varunendra> if you have ever observed intermittent lagging in WiFi even if you are sitting right besides the AP......its the solution for that | 10:07 |
| varunendra | ANub, too close a distance can also be a problem, there is a 'sweet spot' between the hotspot and the receiving device. Plus it is sometimes driver related. But glad you figured it out whatever it was :) | 10:09 |

| reisio | aj_: Xfce, Xfce | 10:12 |
| aj_ | what is its advantage over gnome? | 10:14 |
| Prochamber | aj: KDE is nice but hard to learn for a Gnome user, Xfce is nice | 10:14 |
| Prochamber | Lightweight | 10:14 |
| Prochamber | Fast to load and very responsive | 10:14 |
| aj_ | the default with ubuntu is unity, right? | 10:14 |
| Prochamber | Yes | 10:15 |
| xormor | aj_: I use xubuntu that I got from a Linux Format DVD. | 10:15 |
| Prochamber | Canonical decide to replace Gnome with their own creation | 10:15 |
| xormor | aj_: xubuntu comes with xfce, a light desktop environment. | 10:15 |
| iceroot | Prochamber: unity is still gnome3 just with another shell | 10:15 |
| tracekill | varunendra, there doesn't appear to be a package for 3.11. | 10:16 |
| tracekill | Not as far as I can find. | 10:16 |
| Prochamber | Iceroot: Ah, now it makes sense | 10:16 |
| varunendra | tracekill, yeah, I couldn't locate it as well :( | 10:16 |
| tracekill | If this says that the driver for 7260 is included in 3.11 shouldn't I have it? | 10:17 |
| tracekill | Since I compiled the 3.11 kernel? | 10:17 |

| farbod | i want to disable my guest session ? | 10:30 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: Why? Pulse doesnt affect your multimedia keys at all. It doesnt even know such keys exist. | 10:30 |
| farbod | can you? | 10:30 |
| varunendra | tracekill, I have no experience with pure debian packages nor manually compiled kernels. Can't comment on that. :( | 10:30 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: So if your multimedia keys arent recognized, thats not a PulseAudio issue. | 10:30 |
| PaintBucket | No, it's not the keys that's an issue. It's random stuttering with audio that is. | 10:31 |
| varunendra | tracekill, is it just the firmware or the module too ? | 10:31 |
| PaintBucket | The keys are just something I'd like to keep | 10:31 |
| PaintBucket | like fn+4 turns up volume | 10:31 |
| farbod | i want to disable my guest session can you learn this to me? | 10:31 |
| varunendra | tracekill, it is just a firmware pack, not going to help unless the driver asks for it. | 10:33 |
| Ben64 | PaintBucket: stuttering could be caused by pulseaudio | 10:34 |
| PaintBucket | Okay, so.. I'm trying to "apt-get remove pulseaudio" and it's trying to remove gnome and gnome-core with it | 10:34 |
| PaintBucket | is it supposed to do that? | 10:34 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: I'd not remove it. | 10:35 |

| zenger | but when I do run the nvidia-xconfig as root, it shows that the file is written and is working | 10:38 |
| varunendra | tracekill, the .deb package is just an archive, with the driver file in ready to use form in it. You can extract it, and run 'modinfo' on it to see if it has an alias to your device (PID : VID) which is 8086 and 08b1 for you. | 10:38 |

| Glanzmann | Hello; I want to use a perl plugin for freeradius on ubuntu which uses Authen::Krb5::Simple that does not work because freeradius was not rebuild after perl was updated (I saw that problem before on SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP2). So I tried to build freeradius from source and it fails, too. http://pbot.rmdir.de/-0ckqBMnchzSEceL9u9gWw There is a bug report but it was closed because it was not reproducable, anyone? | 10:44 |
| DJ_MuTeD | "Stable" drivers cause my computer not boot at all | 10:44 |
| DJ_MuTeD | but beta ones work | 10:44 |
| Glanzmann | If I compile freeradius without the infrastructure, it works like a charm, but I want to provide a working debian package to a customer. | 10:45 |
| bekks | Glanzmann: You should reopen the bug then. | 10:45 |
| tracekill | I'm hardly the expert on anything but shouldn't you just reopen the ticket for that specific software? | 10:45 |

| bekks | Glanzmann: Yeah | 10:46 |
| DJ_MuTeD | This is not watermark i have NikTh | 10:47 |
| Glanzmann | The problem is that I need a solution till Thursday 09:00. | 10:47 |
| DJ_MuTeD | My watermark doesnt say "Unsupported device" | 10:47 |

| bekks | dD: I dont think thats possible, since after oressing the first two keys of the second shortcut, the first shortcut applies. I dont think that was possible ever. | 10:47 |
| dD | Hi bekks, I'm sure that's how it was configured, but what happened was that the first shortcut would only apply after I let go of alt (so, I would press alt + shift and nothing would happen, but then I would stop pressing alt and the keyboard would change). | 10:48 |
| reisio | mmm, well, you could always have alt+shift+tab undo what alt+shift alone would do | 10:49 |

| varunendra | tracekill, sorry I got disconnected. Did you get my last message about opening the .deb on archive manager and running modprobe on the driver? | 10:52 |
| tracekill | Oh damn, you missed my thank you message. | 10:52 |
| tracekill | I actually just bit the bullet and flat out installed 3.11 generic ona whim. | 10:52 |
| varunendra | np then :) | 10:52 |
| tracekill | Turns out that was all I needed. | 10:52 |
| tracekill | Way overcomplicated things. | 10:52 |
| varunendra | Really !! Is it working now ?? | 10:52 |
| PaintBucket | Okay.. so, I went ahead and installed remove pulse | 10:53 |
| PaintBucket | i'm confused. | 10:53 |
| PaintBucket | I can't remove gnome now. | 10:53 |
| varunendra | tracekill, does the driver work for you now ? | 10:53 |
| tracekill | Yeah | 10:55 |
| tracekill | Wireless works perfectly. | 10:55 |
| varunendra | Yay !! :D | 10:55 |
| tracekill | Yeah it's awesome I cannot thnak you enough. | 10:55 |
| PaintBucket | I'm thinking I'd better do a fresh install and try this again. I can't remove gnome because it's allegedly not installed. However, i can log into my gnome profile and everything works. Now, when I try to install gnome, it tells me 7 new packages will be installed. Gnome, Gnome-core, libcanberra-pulse, pulseaudio, and a few other things. For a total of 6,273 kb | 10:56 |
| varunendra | tracekill, pleasure is mine. I discovered a new working formula for a new device :D | 10:56 |
| PaintBucket | Am i missing something or is that weird? | 10:56 |
| mJayk | PaintBucket: that will be dependencies that are needed for other programs that have possibly been installed in the interim, | 10:56 |
| varunendra | tracekill, repeating my last message if you missed and are interested for future use- | 10:57 |
| varunendra | the trick I use to find out if there is any driver available for a particular device ID is running "grep -iR <device ID> /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net". You may try that as well in cases when you are not sure about 'Which driver'. | 10:57 |
| PaintBucket | Hmm, but I was removing pulse audio and it wants to tear out gnome and gnome-core.. leaving a ton of abandoned packages | 10:58 |
| PaintBucket | :( | 10:58 |
| PaintBucket | I just wanted pulse gone.. ugh | 10:58 |
| mJayk | how are you removing pulse? | 10:59 |
| mJayk | apt-get remove pulse-audio? | 10:59 |
| tracekill | varunendra ah! I'd seen that somewhere during my search but couldn't find it again! | 10:59 |
| PaintBucket | apt-get remove pulseaudio | 10:59 |
| tracekill | Awesome. | 10:59 |
| mJayk | PaintBucket: do aptitude search ^pulse-audio | 11:00 |
| varunendra | tracekill, could it be one of my posts ;P (cuz I didn't find it, figured out myself) | 11:00 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: I'd not uninstall pulse until ensuring it is pulseaudio causing your problems. | 11:01 |
| PaintBucket | I'm not sure what else it could be. | 11:02 |
| mJayk | PaintBucket: do aptitude search ^pulse-audio | 11:02 |
| PaintBucket | ok | 11:03 |
| mJayk | /win 4 | 11:03 |
| PaintBucket | what am I looking for? | 11:03 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: Did you double check the pavucontrol settings? | 11:05 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: Which Ubuntu do you use? | 11:05 |
| joshu_ | hi I've installed ubuntu mini 13.04 and then 'apt-get xserver-xorg lightdm'. I'm trying to learn how to configure lightdm, but when I do lightdm-set-defaults I get command not found | 11:05 |
| PaintBucket | using 13.04 | 11:06 |
| bekks | joshu_: That command does not exist. | 11:06 |
| mJayk | PaintBucket: the output | 11:06 |
| joshu_ | bekks hmm why is it mentioned in the docs https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Configuration_and_Tweaks | 11:06 |
| joshu_ | bekks what am I supposed to do to configure lightdm? | 11:07 |
| PaintBucket | http://pastebin.com/7aT76NJE | 11:08 |
| PaintBucket | theres the output | 11:08 |
| bekks | joshu_: That file never existed in any package. And I am sorry, I never needed to configure lightdm, because it always worked fo me. | 11:09 |
| PaintBucket | So, let's say I remove pulse. I should still have sound and be able to adjust it via alsamixer right? | 11:10 |
| joshu_ | bekks ok I found it in /usr/lib/lightdm. It's not about lightdm not working. I need to customise it so that when a user logs in a VPN connection and then RDP session are established | 11:10 |
| PaintBucket | just talking hypothetically here. | 11:10 |
| bekks | joshu_: I'd do that with a custom autostart config in your session, rather than using lightdm. | 11:11 |
| joshu_ | bekks so not using this https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LightDM#Autorun_a_Command ? | 11:12 |
| bekks | joshu_: I'd use the autostart feature of the session, rather than the config of the *dm | 11:13 |
| joshu_ | bekks do you have any links to tutorials, examples as I don't know how to do this? | 11:13 |
| bekks | !autostart | joshu_ | 11:14 |
| ubottu | joshu_: If you want to edit your Autostart programs, open the Unity dash and search for Startup Programs. If you're on XFCE, use menu -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Session and Startup, if you're on KDE, use Kickoff -> Computer -> System Settings -> Autostart. For more details see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AddingProgramToSessionStartup. For LXDE see http://ubottu.com/y/4 | 11:14 |
| joshu_ | bekks I can't follow that as I don't have a full GUI as I explained I have only installed 'apt-get xserver-xorg lightdm' | 11:16 |
| PaintBucket | You mean like you're missing unity? | 11:16 |

| bekks | farbod: Stop abusing your keyboard and answer my question please. | 11:20 |
| chrisamoab | ok, well, I was browsing the web, and I found a link to a Samoan translation (partial) of Ubuntu. However when I looked at it, it doesn't actually have a single Samoan word in it, Something seems wrong with that scenario, and I'd like to know who is behind it, and how it can be fixed | 11:20 |
| farbod | bekks: what is your question? | 11:20 |
| bekks | chrisamoab: So which link did you find? | 11:21 |

| bekks | farbod: And I asked to clarify which proxies you are talking about. | 11:22 |
| farbod | bekks:like tor | 11:22 |
| bekks | !tor | farbod | 11:22 |
| ubottu | farbod: Tor is a program to route connections through several servers for anonymity.

| tata | is it possible to run ubuntu like root user always? and don't ask me for password anymore? | 11:24 |
| cfhowlett | !root|tata, | 11:25 |
| ubottu | tata,: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 11:25 |
| cfhowlett | tata, if you need root ALL the time, you're doing it wrong | 11:25 |

| Smilo | go to the network icon at the top and tell us what it looks like | 11:28 |
| MonkeyDust | tata ruining your pc is not supported here | 11:28 |
| chrisamoab | crikey, security is a bit lax | 11:28 |
| chrisamoab | goes hand in hand with having dodgy translations I guess | 11:29 |

| cfhowlett | aneks, ffmpeg would do it | 11:29 |
| Guest58780 | hey guys | 11:29 |
| Guest58780 | my ardour hangs on exports and gives errors ive tried all sorts of exports | 11:29 |
| tata | because I work fast this is my job, and password allways is wasted time | 11:29 |
| cfhowlett | aneks, as would aconv | 11:29 |
| MonkeyDust | aneks winff is a nice gui | 11:29 |
| aneks | thanks guys | 11:29 |
| cfhowlett | tata, then you should know exactly how to set a long duration sudo ... right? | 11:29 |
| PaintBucket | I'm confused how it's even that secure | 11:30 |
| PaintBucket | I changed my root password.. I'd venture to guess if I can then anyone who guesses my password can. | 11:30 |
| tata | no its not point in them | 11:30 |
| chrisamoab | can someone explain to me how Ubuntu could have a Samoan translation which doesn't contain a single Samoan word? Does no one check these things? | 11:31 |
| tata | for many file ubuntu told you dont permission... | 11:31 |
| Guest58780 | any solution for me? where should i ask about Ardour? | 11:31 |
| cfhowlett | chrisamoab, translators are volunteers. some projects are on the calendar, some are more complete than others. if you have such skills, consider volunteering yourself | 11:31 |
| cfhowlett | Guest58780, ardour has a channel and there's also #ubuntustudio | 11:31 |
| Guest58780 | cfhowlett tnx | 11:32 |
| PaintBucket | tata look at the pm. it tells you how to change root if you absolutely must. | 11:32 |
| PaintBucket | or don't.. | 11:32 |
| chrisamoab | cfhowlett, I do have the skills, and I have ALREADY translated it, but not as part of Ubuntu, I want to know why Ubuntu has it, why it's faulty, and who can I contact to get it removed | 11:33 |
| joshu_ | is there a plugin for network manager to add l2tp/ipsec support? | 11:34 |
| cfhowlett | chrisamoab, as I said, community volunteers. see the wiki/samoa community site for a point of contact. and translations aren't ubuntu moderated. pretty sure that's at the community level similar to this irc | 11:34 |
| chrisamoab | ahhh...so I need to find a wiki? | 11:35 |

| PaintBucket | Hey.. guess what. I think I stopped the audio stutter. | 11:46 |
| PaintBucket | Although, I removed and reinstalled Pulseaudio quite a few times. | 11:47 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: So what did you actually do? | 11:47 |
| PaintBucket | I removed and reinstalled pulse audio/gnome like 40 times | 11:48 |
| PaintBucket | lol how does that work? | 11:48 |
| PaintBucket | I feel like Ubuntu = Madness | 11:48 |
| PaintBucket | Yeah, I played a whole 4 minute song with no stuttering. | 11:49 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: This isnt windows. So what have actually done, besides pointlessly removig and installing the same program agan and again? | 11:49 |
| PaintBucket | nothing except mess things up | 11:49 |
| bekks | PaintBucket: Now you know why its not that good to act like being on Windows. :) | 11:50 |
| PaintBucket | I removed and reinstalled evolution a bunch too. | 11:50 |
| PaintBucket | lol well, sadly I think windows has one up on this. I removed pulse and it removed parts of gnome and that caused about 50 packages I do infact use to say they aren't used. | 11:51 |

| randomaussie | how do i find out wich /dev/sd* my usb stick is plugged into... | 12:56 |
| auronandace | randomaussie: if you didn't already know that then you really shouldn't be using dd | 12:57 |
| randomaussie | well i was just following the guide... | 12:57 |
| auronandace | randomaussie: before using dd you should know in advance which device you are applying it to otherwise you'll be overwriting something you may not intend to | 12:59 |
| th0r | randomaussie: to answer your question...when I need to know the /dev I opent a terminal, 'tail -f /var/log/syslog', and then plug in the device | 13:00 |
| Naphatul | how do i load the kvm module if it ships with the kernel at all? | 13:00 |
| randomaussie | ah thanks | 13:00 |
| stefano_26 | WTF happened to ubuntuforums lol | 13:00 |
| OerHeks | stefano_26, you didn't read the message? | 13:01 |
| stefano_26 | OerHeks, Yeah... I read it... what a shame! The platform was based on vbulletin.. proprietary software | 13:02 |
| stefano_26 | OerHeks, And someone hacked it too! LOL | 13:02 |
| irssi-mike | Did somebody hack into the ubuntu forum | 13:02 |
| MrSassyPants | i got /etc/dhcp and /etc/dhcp3 - this is confusing me and I'd like to know if I can remove either of those | 13:02 |
| woe_is_me | I've had to change all my passwords because of the breech, mainly because I can't remember what password I actually used on the forums! | 13:03 |
| randomaussie | auronanface and th0r: thankyou.. its booting now | 13:03 |
| stefano_26 | woe_is_me, haahahahahahaha shame on you Canonical! | 13:03 |
| stefano_26 | I can't believe | 13:04 |
| OerHeks | stefano_26, take this to #ubuntu-offtopic, keep this channel clear for support, thanks | 13:04 |
| xqee | Hello guys, can some1 help me to install Asus u3100 mini plus on ubuntu 12.04 server, thanks ? | 13:04 |
| MrBarry | I had just asked a ? on the forums, and had to reset my password to do so. So I know it's something random and not in use elsewhere. | 13:04 |
| stefano_26 | OerHeks, hahaha okay... | 13:04 |

| varunendra | xqee, we only know as much as mentioned on the notification page. If you have some problems regarding ubuntu you may ask here. | 13:13 |
| OerHeks | askubuntu is still up | 13:13 |
| xqee | I need to install this: Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0b05:1779 ASUSTek Computer, Inc. My Cinema U3100 Mini Plus [AF9035A] | 13:14 |
| varunendra | OerHeks, "still"... are you expecting something ? ;) | 13:14 |
| Laurenceb__ | hi | 13:14 |
| * OerHeks hardly visits ubuntuforums, askubuntu is more powerfull | 13:14 | |
| Laurenceb__ | i have a problem, somethiung is using 50% of my cpu | 13:14 |
| Laurenceb__ | ie one full core | 13:14 |
| xqee | can someone help me with installing ? | 13:14 |
| Laurenceb__ | i can't see it in top | 13:14 |
| varunendra | xqee, what kind of device is that? | 13:14 |
| ikonia | Laurenceb__: what do you see in top ? | 13:14 |
| Laurenceb__ | but its there is the system monitor | 13:14 |
| ikonia | Laurenceb__: can you take a screenshot ? | 13:14 |
| xqee | varunendra its dvb-t usb card | 13:15 |
| Laurenceb__ | wait found it | 13:15 |
| Laurenceb__ | it was the wifi driver | 13:15 |
| ikonia | xqee: do you know if it has linux support ? | 13:15 |
| Laurenceb__ | disable/reenable wifi and its fixed | 13:15 |
| xqee | ikonia it has http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Asus_U3100_Mini_plus_DVB-T | 13:15 |
| ikonia | xqee: can you showme the output of "uname -a" | 13:16 |
| varunendra | Laurenceb__, which driver it was ? Just curious. | 13:16 |
| xqee | Linux hlinux 3.5.0-23-generic #35~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jan 25 17:15:33 UTC 2013 i686 athlon i386 GNU/Linux | 13:16 |
| ikonia | xqee: ok, so as you can see in that page you listed, it needs 3.7 kernel | 13:16 |
| ikonia | xqee: you have 3.5 | 13:17 |
| xqee | how can i get that kernel ? | 13:17 |
| ikonia | xqee: you can't really.....what version of ubuntu is this ? | 13:17 |
| xqee | 12.04 lts server | 13:17 |
| varunendra | xqee, 13.04 has kernel 3.8+ | 13:17 |
| ikonia | xqee: ok, so you have 2 choices | 13:17 |
| ikonia | xqee: 1.) use the back ported kernel form 12.10/13.04 - 2.) install 13.04 | 13:17 |
| irssi-mike | i've changed x-terminal-emulator in update-alternatives but when i press ctrl+alt+t i'm still getting gnome-emulator | 13:17 |
| ikonia | xqee: is here a reason you choice 12.04 over 13.04 when you installed ? | 13:18 |
| xqee | ikonia amd duron 900mhz, 256 mb ram and agp 64mb card | 13:18 |
| irssi-mike | nevermind i'll just try bringing lightdm down and up again | 13:18 |
| ikonia | xqee: sorry, that's not what I asked | 13:18 |
| xqee | if that config can handle 13.04 ill install it | 13:18 |
| ikonia | xqee: no more / less thatn 12.04 | 13:19 |
| ikonia | xqee: you're really on the limit of usability though | 13:19 |
| ikonia | xqee: 256ram is not enough to run it | 13:19 |
| ikonia | xqee: the duron is a very weak processor for a modern deskop | 13:19 |
| xqee | ikonia i know i just want ftp server, and pvr desktop (headendtv) it should work | 13:20 |
| ikonia | xqee: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SystemRequirements | 13:20 |
| ikonia | xqee: it's really lacking ram and your processesor is on the limit of "required" | 13:20 |
| xqee | i have other dvb-t card | 13:21 |
| xqee | sec ill check what is its name | 13:21 |
| ikonia | the dvb card is not the problem | 13:21 |
| mumpitzel | xqee: run lubuntu | 13:21 |
| xqee | ikonia, can i run this IT9135 BDA Device | 13:22 |
| ikonia | xqee: it's not the card that's the problem | 13:22 |
| mumpitzel | xqee: your cpu might be too slow to decode the HD mpeg stream. and unity will use more RAM than your PC has which is why you should choose anotehr desktop environment | 13:22 |
| ikonia | the desktop enviornment wo'nt matter | 13:23 |
| ikonia | lxde and xfce still require 512 | 13:23 |
| xqee | i wont use it to watch tv on it, its just server | 13:23 |
| ikonia | READ the requirements page | 13:23 |
| xqee | i use xfce4 on that machine :) | 13:23 |
| ikonia | xqee: ok, then use 13.04 | 13:24 |
| ikonia | xqee: and you can use your TV card, no issue | 13:24 |
| mumpitzel | ikonia: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Lubuntu#System_Requirements they clearly state 256MB is fine. | 13:24 |
| xqee | ikonia do i need some drivers or something ? | 13:25 |
| ikonia | mumpitzel: yes, it's listed as !minimal | 13:25 |
| mumpitzel | xubuntu wants 256min and 512 recommended | 13:25 |
| ikonia | xqee: no, as it has the kernel that supports it | 13:25 |
| ikonia | mumpitzel: exactly minimum | 13:25 |
| mumpitzel | ikonia: no. 128MB is minimal. 256-386 is "better and more usable" | 13:25 |
| mumpitzel | ikonia: please read the page more carefully | 13:25 |
| ikonia | really it's 128 | 13:25 |
| ikonia | mumpitzel: yes, I can see the link hanging off it | 13:25 |
| xqee | ikonia what is this ? Compiling v9.08.14.1 may be very adventurous. I have made some pathology to original driver :) and reduce it only to ASUS_U3100_mini device and fix various incompatibilities. Minimum additional modification are needed to installing. Works well for kernel < 2.6.35. | 13:25 |
| ikonia | xqee: why are you not listening to what I've said | 13:26 |
| ikonia | xqee: if you install 13.04 - it has the right kernel in for it to work out the box | 13:26 |
| xqee | ikonia sorry and thanks on your help | 13:26 |
| ikonia | xqee: you're using 3.5 currently, so why are you looking at kernel 2.6.35 details | 13:26 |
| xqee | ikonia iam going to get 13.04 | 13:26 |
| ikonia | xqee: the wiki page you've quoted to me shows it has native support as of 3.7 kerne | 13:27 |
| ikonia | kernel | 13:27 |
| xqee | ikonia ubuntu server 13.04 doesnt have 32bit support ? | 13:27 |
| ikonia | xqee: there is a 32bit version, yes | 13:28 |
| xqee | ikonia found it thanks! | 13:28 |

| GothPaw | I dont have windows..... NEVER have | 13:45 |
| ikonia | GothPaw: then why do you have an NTFS disk | 13:45 |
| paulus68 | hi Ikonia long time no see is there a good software to create an disk image of ubuntu like Norton ghost for windows? | 13:45 |
| ikonia | paulus68: hello there, there are a few ways to approach this | 13:45 |
| ikonia | paulus68: is this image to be used as a disk backup, a deployment for one machine, a deployment for multiple machines etc etc | 13:46 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: just a backup to use after all my programs are installed so whenever I have to much trash I can just start over with the created image | 13:47 |
| Guest5021 | Acer Iconia B1, is it possible to install ubuntu touch on this device? | 13:47 |
| ikonia | paulus68: how big is your hard disk ? | 13:47 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: it's 60 gig | 13:47 |
| gordonjcp | Guest5021: ask in #ubuntu-touch | 13:47 |
| ikonia | paulus68: do you have somewhere to store a 60GB image ? | 13:47 |
| ikonia | eg: usb disk | 13:48 |
| Guest5021 | ty | 13:48 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: I can yes | 13:48 |
| gordonjcp | GothPaw: will fsck.ntfs fix it? | 13:48 |
| MrSassyPants | ok, DDNS-Question: can someone explain to me why the dhcp'd/ddns'd notebook ends up in a .local zone? I can ping it with book.local, but book.mydomain doesn't find it. I have no .local zone and as far as I can tell, ddns is set up so dhcp'd clients should end up in .mydomain | 13:48 |
| ikonia | paulus68: perfect, I think if you use "dd" to take an image from a livecd you'll find that the best way to approch this | 13:48 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: doesn't fix the warning, plus it's not great | 13:48 |
| ikonia | I've seen it corrupt a few file systems | 13:49 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: ok thanks | 13:49 |
| ikonia | paulus68: dd will take a block by block image, which means it will take the partition table, boot sector, grub etc etc, all in one go | 13:49 |
| ikonia | paulus68: do you know how to do it with "dd" ? | 13:49 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: well that's what happens when you try to squeeze 40-year-old VMS disks onto modern machines | 13:49 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: nope never worked with it | 13:49 |
| ikonia | paulus68: ok, you want to take the image of your disk, while running from a livecd if possible (so that nothing is in use) | 13:50 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: brb kids in trouble | 13:50 |
| ikonia | paulus68: ok | 13:50 |
| giraffe_ | anyone get left4dead2 working? | 13:50 |
| xqee | giraffe_ it should work with ubuntu 13.04 | 13:51 |
| OerHeks | GothPaw, the only tool i can think of without Windows, is UBcd, ultimate boot cd with free mbr/ntfs/partition tools | 13:51 |
| ikonia | you're not going to do this safely / correctly without windows | 13:51 |
| xqee | giraffe_ with steam | 13:52 |

| paulus68 | ikonia: back | 13:52 |
| ikonia | GothPaw: I'm sure you must know someone with a windows machine who can quickly run a chkdsk on it | 13:53 |
| randomaussie | no matter how many times i remake my bootable ucb stick i keep getting hte GPT error.. i cant work out what i'm foing worng... only started getting htem today | 13:53 |
| xqee | acdarekar did you tried ps/2 keyboard ? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | paulus68: ok, boot from livecd, plug in usb drive, then do "dd if=/dev/yourdisk of=/dev/yourusbdisk bs=2m" | 13:53 |
| gordonjcp | randomaussie: has it previously been partitioned with GPT? | 13:53 |
| ikonia | paulus68: where you replace the disks eg: /dev/sda and /dev/sdc | 13:53 |
| randomaussie | fat a fat 32 usb | 13:54 |
| xqee | acdarekar also enable usb keyboard support in bios | 13:54 |
| randomaussie | itsa** | 13:54 |
| ikonia | paulus68: quick read on "man dd" wouldn't hurt | 13:54 |
| gordonjcp | GothPaw: can you use fsck.ntfs to get it going enough to mount, then copy everything off and reformat it? | 13:54 |
| GothPaw | ikonia. nope i dont.... only one person who has a netbook and i obviously cant put a desktop hdd in that | 13:54 |
| ikonia | GothPaw: you can with a usb connector | 13:54 |
| gordonjcp | why would a netbook help? | 13:55 |
| acdarekar | I am using PS/2 KB. I booted latest archlinux build in the same way I want ubuntu to. | 13:55 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp: it's the only person he knows with a windows install to actually do a chkdsk on the device hs' having a problem | 13:55 |
| acdarekar | The archlinux installation works | 13:55 |
| Guest5021 | Acer Iconia B1 Is it possible to install ubuntu touch on this device | 13:55 |
| Guest5021 | ? | 13:55 |
| GothPaw | usb connector? its an internal drive..... | 13:56 |
| ikonia | Guest5021: #ubuntu-touch is the correct channel as you've been told | 13:56 |
| gordonjcp | Guest5021: stop asking that over and over | 13:56 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: ok thanks just another quick question is there an ubuntu, xubuntu or lubuntu that doesn't need pae? since my other laptop doesn't work with this | 13:56 |
| ikonia | paulus68: what do you mean doesn't need pae ? | 13:56 |
| gordonjcp | GothPaw: pop the drive out, plug it into a USB adaptor | 13:56 |
| Guest5021 | there is nobody online on that channel | 13:56 |
| ikonia | Guest5021: there are many people | 13:56 |
| GothPaw | ill try the fsck.ntfs | 13:56 |
| ikonia | GothPaw: I assume the data is not important | 13:56 |
| gordonjcp | ikonia: oh, you can run Windows on netbooks? | 13:56 |
| paulus68 | ikonia: During install I get the message that my cpu is not supported due to pae | 13:56 |
| randomaussie | Gordonjcp: the usb is being formatter each time to fat 32 and hte install srive i clear the partition table each time i try | 13:56 |
| ikonia | gordonjcp:....apparantly | 13:56 |
| GothPaw | i dont have this "adapter" | 13:57 |
| GothPaw | yes, the data is semi-important | 13:57 |
| ikonia | GothPaw: then I would not recommend fsck.ntfs | 13:57 |
| gordonjcp | randomaussie: right, but has it ever been partitioned with GPT? | 13:58 |

| acdarekar | @xqee My problem is unique, I never found anything relevant to my search but somewhere some dude mentioned the same in relation with arcjlinux, so I downloaded that distro. The KB doesn't freeze in that case. But it does in ubuntu13.04x64 UEFI GPT scheme. | 13:59 |
| randomaussie | gordonjcp: ok remaking the usb agian | 13:59 |
| anonee | gordonjcp :) | 14:00 |
| xqee | acdarekar i do not know than, try to ask ikonia (hes expert) | 14:00 |
| GothPaw | ikonia: what can i do then? | 14:01 |
| acdarekar | @xqee, I am a bit blunt in irc rules, can I @ mention him? | 14:01 |
| ikonia | GothPaw: here are you options 1.) use the windows tools form somewhere - the correct tools for the job, and make sure you friend does a proper job giving you data 2.) use other tools such suggested which may/may not help, but also have a risk of damaging the data | 14:01 |
| xqee | highlight him, yes | 14:01 |
| acdarekar | @ikonia, Hi! I have win7x64 UEFI GPT scheme installation. Tried to install Ubuntu13.04x64 using USB-stick. The stick boots but keyboard freezes. Can you shade some light over the matter? | 14:02 |
| ikonia | acdarekar: I'd try simple tests such as hit the capslock key to see if the light goes on/off find out if it really has hung, or is just not working | 14:03 |
| ikonia | acdarekar: also at what point it stops working maybe important | 14:03 |
| === jwkokc is now known as jk_ | ||
| acdarekar | The UEFI boot menu- screen where it lets me choose between install ubuntu or try ubuntu or check the installation media. The keyboard freezes to numLock key. | 14:05 |
| ikonia | acdarekar: hang on, the boot menu from the boot loader on the usb stick, or the menu from the uefi selection sreen from your system | 14:06 |

| donivanboo | hey people i have a question | 14:18 |
| * [Derek] hi | 14:18 | |
| GiGaHuRtZ | Who has experience compiling and installing a kernel on ubuntu not using the "debian/ubnuu way"? | 14:18 |
| ikonia | acdarekar: a bug in what ? | 14:19 |
| donivanboo | hey whats the best way to set a dual boot i have a currently installed oem windows instal and want to choose what to boot as soon as i boot | 14:19 |
| ikonia | GiGaHuRtZ: yes, why ? | 14:19 |
| ikonia | donivanboo: if you install ubuntu along side windows, you get a boot menu to select which you want to boot | 14:19 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | ikonia: I can build the kernel, and on other distros I know how to install it. I just want to know if there is a preferred method of installation on ubuntu. | 14:19 |
| donivanboo | soo if i boot live and set it to instal and set a partition when it instals it will auto do it? | 14:20 |
| ikonia | GiGaHuRtZ: what do yo umean prefered way ?, it's basically one file dropped into /boot until you are building proper pacakges, what are you actually asking ? | 14:20 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | Like is there a way to get the kernel to be added to those scripts that run sometimes during upgrades where it checks and reconfigures grub and sutff | 14:20 |
| ikonia | donivanboo: auto what / | 14:20 |
| ikonia | GiGaHuRtZ: it will not be part of any of the official ubuntu scripts, such as the grub update scripts, as ubuntu's package manager will not be aware of it | 14:20 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | Ok, Well if I wanted to build packagtes. How can I go about doing it. I found some decent directions on packaging the kernel | 14:21 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | Let me show you | 14:21 |
| acdarekar | @ikonia may be a installer bug, or my hardware setup is not ok with the ubuntu 13.04 x64 | 14:21 |
| donivanboo | will it auto set up the bootloader without damaging anything? | 14:21 |
| acdarekar | @ikonia, the same installer works if I disable UEFI boot. | 14:21 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | ikonia: I was looking at using basically this http://pastebin.com/NTnXg1ci | 14:21 |
| donivanboo | ive heard its easy to mess up the master boot record? | 14:21 |
| ikonia | acdarekar: sorry, I'm still not clear, which menu it's hanging on, the UEFI one from your system, or the boot menu from the usb stick | 14:22 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | which does work for packaging into a deb | 14:22 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | but I had one issue with that command for building to a package | 14:22 |
| ikonia | GiGaHuRtZ: sorry, that looks bad to me. | 14:22 |
| acdarekar | @ikonia The boot menu from the Stick. | 14:22 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | the "kernel-headers" part | 14:22 |
| ikonia | acdarekar: interesting | 14:22 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | ikonia: Well its shown in the ubuntu help as being a good way to do it | 14:22 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | And others agreed | 14:22 |
| acdarekar | @ikonia yes and frustrating to me. | 14:23 |
| ikonia | then why are you asking, you already have your answer, I disagree, but that's just my view | 14:23 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | But like I said, if I try building with "kernel-headers" it doesnt know a target with that name | 14:23 |
| donivanboo | and after i do so if i wanted could i instal backtrack 5 with it not removing that or messing either up? | 14:23 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | Omfg.... | 14:23 |
| ikonia | GiGaHuRtZ: please do'nt use that language | 14:23 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | what language? | 14:23 |
| ikonia | donivanboo: multiple linux distributions, that's getting more complex | 14:23 |
| ikonia | GiGaHuRtZ: OMFG | 14:23 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | Seriously, I really do not care for language anyway. This is IRC, I'm not afraid of consequences. | 14:23 |
| BluesKaj | GiGaHuRtZ, this one is worth a try , no need to build, just add the deb , apt-cache search to find the headers and the kernels. http://liquorix.net/ | 14:23 |
| donivanboo | i just want windows 7 ubuntu and backtrack XD | 14:24 |
| ikonia | donivanboo: ok, join #backtrack-linux and ask them for help | 14:24 |

| Nothing_Much | I'm on Ubuntu 13.10 | 14:42 |
| Nothing_Much | Does that make a difference? | 14:42 |
| BluesKaj | zagibu, open a terminal and run , sudo modprobe snd-hda-intel , then you may have to reboot , if the driver/module is corrctly loaded , there will be no output from the command | 14:42 |
| zagibu | BluesKaj: when I do that and check the syslog, it says failed to loadthe module | 14:43 |
| Nothing_Much | It's not using the right sound card :/ | 14:44 |
| zagibu | hmmm, no wait, it didn't log an error now | 14:44 |

| vfw | joshu_: Is this (http://cl.ly/image/3Y31170O1r14) a console or a GUI terminal. (Because teamviewer requires an X windows session). | 15:29 |
| Dr_Willis | caniocal should really leverage ubuntu one, and add some stuff like a teamviewer-type clone and other features to make ubuntu stand out from the other disrtos. ;) | 15:30 |

| joshu_ | xqee that the terminal I get when I do ctrl+alt+F1 from the lightdm greeter | 15:30 |
| Dr_Willis | joshu_, the consoles are on alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 - X session should be on alt-ctrl-f7 | 15:31 |

| gaz1310 | yeah prolly | 15:36 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont use teamviewer enoguh to even know ;) sort of scary it uses wine, and its running a service.. but that may be just the gui part that uses wine | 15:36 |

| joshu_ | basically i have this http://cl.ly/image/0s3j3D2k1T1k when a user logs in an RDP session is started. n other guy. The reason for team viewer is so i can shadow the user and help them..if this makes sense | 15:37 |
| gaz1310 | @wfw sure but the daemon should not need a x session | 15:37 |
| k1l14 | how would i use the nouveau drivers? | 15:38 |
| vfw | joshu_: Looks as thought you've yet to login to your X-session. Is that correct? | 15:38 |
| vfw | gaz1310: You are correct. | 15:39 |

| kovu2296 | is there a version of linux that is netbookfriendly | 15:40 |
| vfw | xqee: I think he just needs to run it from an X-session. | 15:40 |
| gaz1310 | teamwiever must come prepacked with wine yes? | 15:40 |
| gaz1310 | if so -then yes - u need X | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | kovu2296, i have very few issues with ubuntu on my netbook | 15:40 |
| vfw | gaz1310: correct | 15:40 |
| Dr_Willis | kovu2296, i tend to use Lubuntu on low end machines. | 15:40 |
| kovu2296 | ok i have the latest machine | 15:40 |
| kovu2296 | so lubuntu uo say | 15:41 |
| k1l14 | what you talkin about willis? | 15:41 |
| gaz1310 | ram? | 15:41 |
| k1l14 | :0| | 15:41 |
| Dr_Willis | its trivial to have the lubuntu desktop installed on ubuntu. and try them both | 15:41 |
| xqee | iam running ubuntu server 13.04 with xfce fine :) | 15:41 |

| k1l14 | this is the first time i have ever seen that riva/tnt one | 15:48 |
| Dr_Willis | danes, you could always use a minimal vnc session to run xsane in. but ive not noticed any remote-scanner stuff. never really looked | 15:49 |

| joshu_ | xqee vfw ok don't know if I'm explained it well enough, but the purpose of my custom ubuntu build is to make it a thin client. When you login at the lightdm greeter you don't get a regular ubuntu desktop. All that happens is that an RDP session is started to a windows server. That's where you work. I was hoping to get team viewer to start when you boot the ubuntu OS and that I as an administrator would be able to connect to the OS via team | 15:55 |
| joshu_ | viewer and see the lightdm greeter and help the user. | 15:55 |

| Mortix | hi, i got 2 graphic cards, 1 amd and the 2nd nvidia, im trying to watch 3 monitors, 2 connected to the amd and 1 to the nvidia | 15:57 |
| Mortix | but it show me only 2 monitors(the amd) | 15:57 |
| ikonia | xqee: ok, so you need to check the udev rules to see where it got created, or point your software at the correct device file | 15:57 |
| ikonia | Mortix: that's not going to work | 15:57 |
| ikonia | Mortix: while technically possible it will require multiple X servers setting up | 15:58 |
| Mortix | so how can i make 3 monitors? | 15:58 |

| vfw | joshu_: You won't be able to run the teamviewer application until logged into the X-session. | 15:58 |
| xqee | ikonia what i need to type ? | 15:59 |
| joshu_ | vfw hmm so only vnc allows that? | 15:59 |
| vfw | joshu_: But, if you are doing all this within a LAN, (as opposed to going across the internet to the other machine), any other type of VNC application would be better. | 15:59 |
| ikonia | xqee: what do you mean, what do you need to type ? | 16:00 |
| vfw | joshu_: Is this all happening within your LAN? | 16:00 |
| k1l_ | Mortix: the problem is how the linux xserver uses the drivers. you cant one 2 different drivers on one xserver. | 16:00 |
| xqee | ikonia to check that udev | 16:00 |
| joshu_ | vfw of course but unfortunately this will happen across the internet at remote locations as the user will run this custom ubuntu on a laptop. That's why I'm trying to figure out a remote support solution | 16:00 |
| vfw | joshu_: (If so, there are better/easier solutions. | 16:00 |
| ikonia | xqee: I'd suggest reading the info on the wiki page you posted, see if it mentions the device file it creates | 16:00 |
| joshu_ | vfw if it was on the LAN of course things would be easier. | 16:01 |
| Mortix | k1l_: so in case ill change the nvidia card to amd card, it should work? | 16:01 |
| Mortix | k1l_: since both of them will use the same driver no? | 16:01 |
| k1l_ | Mortix: yep. but im out of experience with 3 monitors. so i cant guarantee that this is an easy one then | 16:01 |
| k1l_ | Mortix: yep | 16:01 |
| ikonia | no, | 16:02 |
| ikonia | the nvidia binary drivers only support sockets on the same card | 16:02 |
| vfw | joshu_: So maybe use a combination of both. Use another VNC server on the LAN and teamviewer across the internet. You can set the teamviewer application to start via Session Startup (~/.config/autostart), | 16:02 |
| ikonia | to use multiple cards with sockets you'd need to launch multiple x servers | 16:02 |
| xqee | ikonia can you help me install that or sth ? | 16:03 |
| vfw | joshu_: ON the LAN, tightvncserver / tightvncviewer and / or x11vnc are some further options. (But there are others.) | 16:04 |
| ikonia | sth ? | 16:04 |
| xqee | something | 16:04 |
| ikonia | xqee: I'd suggest reading the wiki page you posted and seeing if it mentions the device file it should create | 16:04 |
| xqee | http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/Asus_U3100_Mini_plus_DVB-T | 16:05 |
| joshu_ | vfw sure but as you explained for team viewer to run in the background and accept a connection I need to install something like xstart or similar, right? I'm more concerned with over the internet solution then on LAN as the latter is not likely to happen | 16:05 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | I know this error is badly formatted (it's just how it was spit out into the terminal): http://pastebin.com/ADiLrSTu I was running running glances for the past like 2 hours, and I just tabbed over to check myu disk I/O again, and it was crashed with that traceback.

| ikonia | GiGaHuRtZ: the guys in #python maybe able to help with the specifics of that trace back, as you'd have to understand the functions to a reasonable level to debug that | 16:07 |
| GiGaHuRtZ | Ok, thank you. | 16:07 |

| k1l14 | must be the kernel im running now, i didn't see any of this before | 16:08 |

| gaz1310 | java apps behaves like "webapps"? | 16:24 |

| ikonia | xqee: sorry, I'm asking what it's looking for - not if it found it or not | 16:25 |
| gaz1310 | if so - the make a shortcut to it and place on launcher | 16:25 |

| astr0naut | what does "received a ctcp version from username" mean? | 16:25 |
| Dr_Willis | astr0naut, they versioned you.. your client replied some info back | 16:26 |
| xqee | what is with this firmware ? | 16:26 |
| astr0naut | Dr_Willis, I run my distro as root, and I use XChat IRC, can they execute some commands on my machine thru ctcp? | 16:26 |
| astr0naut | or something? is ctcp dangerous? | 16:26 |
| vfw | falkenMaze: Is the date correct? | 16:26 |
| falkenMaze | vfw what do you mean? | 16:27 |
| vfw | date | 16:27 |
| falkenMaze | date of what? | 16:27 |
| k1l_ | !rootirc | astr0naut | 16:27 |
| ubottu | astr0naut: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. | 16:27 |
| gaz1310 | _D | 16:27 |
| theadmin | astr0naut: Running as root is always a bad idea, but no, CTCP doesn't allow remote command execution. It's still dangerous to run as root though. | 16:27 |
| gaz1310 | root is fun | 16:27 |
| ikonia | gaz1310: grow up - we are trying to help people here | 16:27 |
| vfw | falkenMaze: In the terminal, type: date #Hit enter, see what it says, (see if it is correct). | 16:28 |
| k1l_ | astr0naut: but now they know your client and version and could lookup some security issue. | 16:28 |
| astr0naut | theadmin, Why is running as root on Ubuntu is bad? | 16:28 |
| falkenMaze | vfw july 21 2013 | 16:28 |
| astr0naut | How can I know their version and client? | 16:28 |
| k1l_ | astr0naut: if the find a security whole they have root rights | 16:28 |
| astr0naut | is there a command for it? | 16:28 |
| theadmin | astr0naut: Because. Giving apps rights they don't even need is always a bad idea. | 16:28 |
| Dr_Willis | doing anything as root when not absoutly needed is bad.. | 16:28 |
| astr0naut | How can I request client info from other users? | 16:28 |
| astr0naut | from ctcp? | 16:28 |
| astr0naut | what's the specific command for this? | 16:29 |
| theadmin | astr0naut: /version nickname, I think. | 16:29 |
| Dr_Willis | astr0naut, see the docs for your irc client perhaps | 16:29 |
| k1l_ | astr0naut: think of: you always run with a loaded and unlocked gun. that is not necessary . just give the apps the rights they need at least | 16:29 |
| theadmin | astr0naut: sudo exists for a reason | 16:29 |
| astr0naut | theadmin, how can I request ctcp version and client from users in IRC? | 16:29 |
| astr0naut | just like they CTCP'ed me? | 16:29 |
| theadmin | astr0naut: Just said, /version nickname | 16:30 |

| Penyulap | I tear my hair out, i can't find on google, I unpack an archive into the current directory, but rather than unpack them into the current directory, it unpack everything into a subdirectory with the name of the archive. I can't move that directory contents into the current one, i renamed it and try again, but always the command line says like "mv: `www/w' and `www/w' are the same file" | 16:52 |
| Penyulap | how to copy files from a subdirectory into the current directory ? | 16:52 |
| falkenMaze | how do you force uninstall a package? bpaste.net/show/x4Gyk5mFfiDDj2LYOMj5 | 16:52 |
| bhalash | Estrobeda: Your machine is using the Nvidia video card under Linux, and the Linux drivers are awful. They run the card at full speed regardless of anything you are actually doing. | 16:54 |
| bhalash | Estrobeda: Check out http://bumblebee-project.org/ | 16:54 |

| bhalash | Estrobeda: np sir. It is possible to switch to the integrated Intel card, which will go along way to preserving your battery life, and to just use the Nvidia card on a per-application basis. | 16:56 |
| Penyulap | I worked it out | 16:56 |

| === Josh_ is now known as r0uh | ||
| bhalash | dD: gconf-editor is still in Gnome, right? | 17:17 |
| dD | bhalash, it is, but i can't configure one with alt + shift and the other with alt+shift + tab, they interfere :/ | 17:18 |

| dD | bhalash, (it's actually dconf editor, but yes) | 17:19 |
| bhalash | dD: Gnome is annoying to configure. You might hit Google for information on where keybinds like alt+tab are stored. | 17:20 |

| theadmin | bhalash: Sun's java isn't in the repos for, like, more than a year now? | 17:22 |
| theadmin | mooperd: Use OpenJDK or download from java.com | 17:22 |
| dD | bhalash, so, I did find the keybinds. But if alt + shift is used to change keyboard layout, then I can't use alt + shift + tab for reverse alt tab. If it's not, then I can use it (all through dconf) | 17:22 |
| bhalash | theadmin: Shows how much I use Java. :D Don't they have a self-extracting file on the site? | 17:23 |

| theadmin | mooperd: Eh. Shouldn't have to configure that stuff manually if you use the repos | 17:28 |
| mooperd | theadmin: hmm, it hasnt :( | 17:29 |
| theadmin | mooperd: Environment changes usually require to log out and back in | 17:29 |
| columb | Oh well, fixed it by nautilus -q | 17:29 |
| theadmin | mooperd: Did you do that? | 17:29 |
| mooperd | theadmin: yes | 17:29 |
| bhalash | columb: Hah. Right as I'm reading a thread with that as a solution. | 17:29 |
| dD | bhalash, Thanks. That won't work though, because both of them belong to dconfeditor. See, the problem is that they clash. | 17:29 |
| columb | Nope, not fixed. At least I was able to open folder with it. | 17:29 |
| mooperd | theadmin: but as root | 17:29 |
| mooperd | theadmin: but I guess that shouldnt make a differance | 17:30 |
| dD | bhalash, basically, if I disable one, the other one works. It used to work before but not anymore. | 17:30 |
| joshu_ | so I found this that shows how to start a vnc server at the lightdm greeter http://roger.steneteg.org/245/start-vnc-together-with-lightdm/ | 17:32 |
| mijk | hey, how do I mount a img file I created with bximage that has no file system? | 17:32 |
| bhalash | dD: Gotcha. I'm starting to understand your problem a bit better. You used to have a setup where each keybind had more than one action? | 17:32 |
| joshu_ | this would allow me to connect with a vnc client and see the lightdm login window, right? | 17:32 |
| bhalash | mijk: mount -o loop /path/to/image /mnt/whatever ? | 17:32 |
| mijk | bhalash, it wouldn't error out due to lack of fs specified? | 17:33 |
| bhalash | mijk: Try and report the error | 17:34 |
| BenjaminRH | Hey people. My laptop screen's black on boot until I put it to sleep and then wake it up again. Any idea why that might be, and how I can fix that? | 17:34 |
| mijk | mount: you must specify the file system type | 17:35 |
| dD | bhalash, so basically, Alt+Shift was used to change keyboard language. But, (if I remember correctly), alt+shift would only change it "on key up". Then, alt+shift+tab would do reverse alt tab (ie, change windows counterclockwise). Now, if I have alt+shift enabled to change the keyboard shortcut, I can't use alt+shift+tab to do reverse alt tab, it's like the shift is ignored (probably because the keyboard layout change takes precedence). | 17:37 |

| iceroot | Linux_xubuntu_ne: sudo apt-get install playonlinux | 17:47 |
| dD | bhalash, :( I wonder what changed, it worked before. Do you think that there is a way to set one of them to be "on key up"? | 17:47 |
| iceroot | Linux_xubuntu_ne: then sart it and choose ie for installation | 17:47 |
| Linux_xubuntu_ne | cheers | 17:47 |
| iceroot | Linux_xubuntu_ne: winetricks should also be able to install ie8. for wine-support see #winehq | 17:47 |
| dD | bhalash, or set priorities? | 17:47 |
| bhalash | dD: Explicitly set the action to alt+shift+up arrow? | 17:47 |

| whoever | Fuzzles: sudo apt-get install gtkpod | 18:55 |
| Fuzzles | whoever, it doesnt allow me to restore does it? | 18:55 |
| yeats | Fuzzles: you're probably going to need iTunes to some degree, which probably means you'll need windows somewhere - like I suggested, you can dual boot or run Windows in a VM | 18:55 |

| whoever | Fuzzles: that is the limitation of the gnu ipodd tools if you simply must be able to restore then your stuck with itunes | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip | yeats: its proprietary. until apple open up you will be forever stuck | 18:56 |

| yeats | I don't think opera's been in the repos for years now | 18:59 |
| Fuzzles | ActionParsnip, that's true i guess, another option is to have ubuntu on my main hd and find a old hard drive and install windows on that just for itunes | 18:59 |
| ActionParsnip | vers: did you install bumblebee? | 19:00 |
| Hilikus | is it still the case that for nvidia drivers we have the option of the opensource driver vs the binary driver by nvidia directly and that to install the binary driver you need download the sh script from nvidia? | 19:00 |
| wilee-nilee | deb http://deb.opera.com/opera/ stable non-free #The offical source of Opera | 19:00 |
| yeats | Fuzzles: that's what I would do | 19:00 |
| iceroot | Hilikus: no you can also get the nonfree driver directly from ubuntu | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzles: why? you can use virtualbox and run it when you want to mess with your device | 19:00 |
| Hilikus | iceroot: what's the package? | 19:00 |
| auronandace | Hilikus: we only support what is in our repos, the nvidia driver is in the repos but it may be older than the one from their site | 19:00 |
| whoever | chriswk: beacause GNU is to openly and freely share, and if we are charging, then we are not freely sharing, and yes we could still charge but we would have to give the source code, just doesn't make since to always charge since you have to pay people to man phones and you have no idea how many people won't read and wand to pay you to solve their problem , since unlike winblows there is 100's of posible os configs , tha would just add to | 19:01 |
| Fuzzles | ActionParsnip, i tried that and virtualbox is funny when it comes to using the usb kept messing around | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | hilikus: just install nvidia-current unless you use the optimus mess | 19:01 |
| vers | ActionParsnip: Yes i did. I followed some tutorials and seems to be working (however i doubt any of my application uses this geforce card). It's been working for a week and today it stopped when i wanted to use compiz | 19:01 |
| iceroot | Hilikus: dont know but jockey?? should popup at first start and say there are nonfree drivers and there you can select the driver | 19:01 |
| ActionParsnip | fuzzles: tried the non OSE | 19:01 |
| whoever | so it does not really deafeat it just doesn't make good buisness since to do it | 19:01 |
| iceroot | vbox non ose + windows + itunes just to use a phone..... | 19:01 |
| Fuzzles | yeats, ye will have to wait for a while as my 500gb has windows and my 80gb as ubuntu so will have to wait to switch them over | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip | vers: this is all i know. Optimus is a cheap havk imho | 19:02 |
| checoimg | whoever : Ok | 19:02 |
| Hilikus | ok, now, i didn't know this and installed the nvidia drivers directly from the nvidia script and now my ubuntu doesn't boot. after the bootup splashscreen it hands on a black screen | 19:02 |
| taek | iceroot: get rid of your iphone | 19:02 |
| Hilikus | how can i fix this?? | 19:02 |
| iceroot | taek: reread the conversation | 19:02 |
| drjeats | hmm. a couple of guides recommend just using rEFInd to boot ubuntu's kernel directly, without GRUB. is that good advice or no? Not sure how to *not* install grub from the installer | 19:02 |

| taek | iceroot: you use itunes - (iphone) thusly you have to use a virtual machine to take care of it - get rid of iphone and problem solved. :D | 19:03 |
| drjeats | (on a macbookpro3,1) | 19:03 |

| checoimg | Hi | 19:28 |
| rudolf_ | Do i need a firewall or an antivirus for my ubuntu? | 19:28 |
| Elvano | That's just it, wilee-nilee. She selected the 'Windows 7' option and ... well that's all there is to it... | 19:28 |
| iceroot | rudolf_: no | 19:29 |
| iceroot | !virus | rudolf_ | 19:29 |
| ubottu | rudolf_: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 19:29 |
| Elvano | At first I just thought Windows had messed with the boot record, but that doesn't explain the unallocated space, does it? | 19:29 |
| rudolf_ | On my windows, norton is continuously giving alerts that someone is attacking. | 19:30 |
| BenjaminRH | Elvano: I had a problem like that recently. it had to do with UEFI and secure boot | 19:30 |
| Elvano | Norton is a Virus itself, rudolf_ <.< | 19:30 |

| BenjaminRH | rudolf_: certainly not ;) | 19:31 |

| BenjaminRH | rudolf_: you still have to worry about them | 19:33 |
| Elvano | it only shows my USB key, yeats | 19:33 |
| rudolf_ | BenjaminRH: Can I do something for that? | 19:33 |
| Elvano | the best way to secure yourself is knowing what you're doing, rudolf_ | 19:33 |
| yeats | Elvano: you've got the key plugged into your netbook, yes? | 19:33 |
| BenjaminRH | rudolf_: linux is easily vulnerable. It's just that most of the viruses out there you're likely to pick up are targeted at Windows, so you'll often be safe | 19:33 |
| * taek goes for smoke | 19:33 | |
| BenjaminRH | rudolf_: Try using a firewall, and perhaps something like chrootkit | 19:34 |
| iceroot | BenjaminRH: it is not easily vulnerable. its the most used system in the world (smartphones, routers, server, embedded systems) | 19:34 |

| BenjaminRH | iceroot: And in the hands of a pentester, easily vulnerable | 19:34 |

| BenjaminRH | iceroot: the fact that it is the most used system in the world has nothing to do with how vulnerable it is. There are a lot of holes, even if they don't exist in a fresh installation, that users open up | 19:35 |
| wilee-nilee | Elvano, Hardly an answer that will get any help, no identification of the MS, no when it was installed, did it work previously, did you change anything, just to mention a few. | 19:35 |

| zach2825 | does anyone here know of any good xbmc plugins for streaming? | 19:38 |
| BenjaminRH | iceroot: I'm not even going to get into this. But let me just say that people who think they're completely secure because they're using Linux are naive | 19:38 |
| iceroot | zach2825: #xbmc | 19:38 |
| iceroot | BenjaminRH: noone said there is 100% security but someone said here its EASILY attackable | 19:38 |

| iceroot | napsc: dont ask me, i didnt say easily | 19:46 |

| iceroot | wilee-nilee: root-exploit with admin-access? :) | 19:48 |

| rudolf_ | taek, it is showing something | 19:50 |
| iceroot | BenjaminRH: and because users normally install java, skype and flash, of course there are much more security issues | 19:50 |

| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| amanda_k | you write more python-like code that then compiles into javascript | 22:03 |
| amanda_k | so it runs under nodejs | 22:03 |
| Naphatul | yeah but i mean like the webpage with the documentation, it doesn't look like it's in the default repos, at least not under just coffee | 22:04 |
| Ampelbein | Naphatul: The package is called coffeescript. | 22:04 |

| Teleportable | bekks my external hard is disk3 atm | 22:12 |
| Dr_Willis | thats just a path to the mountpoint | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | which may have changed if the disk has been remounted | 22:13 |
| bekks | Teleportable: if it is "disk3", then you are not on ubuntu. | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | does /media/yourusername/disk(anhtying) exist? | 22:13 |
| Teleportable | Dr_Willis exactly | 22:13 |
| linux|newb | I naively kicked off a mkfs job to a 3TB drive via ssh and wanna got to bed and kill the laptop the ssh session is running on... will initialising disk with 0s still run to completion if I kill session? | 22:13 |

| TechTonics | thanks i got it .. .needed to be root :) | 22:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Unless his disk is labeled 'disk3' | 22:13 |
| TechTonics | thanks :) | 22:13 |
| bekks | Teleportable: The file path /media/somewhere/some/path/file.name is just a path. | 22:14 |
| bekks | Dr_Willis: :) | 22:14 |
| dlaflamme | below123Ice | 22:14 |
| bekks | linux|newb: no. it will just cancel the running job. Just wait a few minutes. | 22:14 |
| Teleportable | bekks so what is this error from? | 22:14 |
| Naphatul | amanda_k: maybe try 'expect daemon' or 'expect stop' ? | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | linux|newb, i dont think it will. You could do a ctrl-z, then 'bg' then 'exit' and that MIGHT let it keep running | 22:14 |
| Dr_Willis | mkfs is not initilizing the disk with zeros as far as i know.. it does other stuff | 22:15 |
| bekks | Teleportable: That file does not exist. The path does not exist. | 22:15 |
| Naphatul | amanda_k: when it fails compiling what does upstart say the status is? | 22:15 |
| bekks | Teleportable: Its nothing about "disk numbers" or whatsoever. | 22:15 |
| Teleportable | bekks im on the path and the file is here | 22:15 |
| linux|newb | bekks: Dr_Willis: cheers | 22:15 |
| Dr_Willis | Teleportable, on it how? if in the terminal see what 'pwd' says the path is | 22:15 |
| amanda_k | Naphatul: stop/daemon didnt work | 22:17 |
| columb | What's ubuntu default input method? iBus? | 22:18 |
| amanda_k | Naphatul: it says its running | 22:18 |
| Teleportable | Dr_Willis & bekks worked after changing the path by gedit !!!..... | 22:18 |
| trism | amanda_k: hmm, a simple upstart user script with: exec coffee -cw /home/user/coffee/; is working fine here after I: start coffee; did you check /var/log/upstart/coffee.log for output? | 22:18 |
| amanda_k | Naphatul: the process doesnt seem like it dies, but just stops working for some reason | 22:18 |
| Fred_12221 | linux|newb look up the 'screen' command. I always use it when connecting via ssh. It lets you disconnect from the ssh session with the programs still running. | 22:19 |
| amanda_k | trism: 21:26:19 - compiled /var/apps/hauler/static/js/settings.coffee .. and so on. no errors | 22:19 |
| Teleportable | bekks so i could just change the number, that was the problem but i could find this how... | 22:19 |
| bekks | Teleportable: There is no such "number" you insist to believe in. | 22:19 |
| Teleportable | Disk1 | 22:20 |
| Teleportable | Disk2 | 22:20 |
| trism | amanda_k: that would seem like it is working then, right? | 22:20 |
| Teleportable | bekks it counts when you have a duplicated name.... | 22:20 |
| bekks | Teleportable: The most likely approach is that thats just the name of the filesystem. And thats irrelevant at all. | 22:20 |
| amanda_k | trism: but its not. it compiles once and if i change another .coffee file it fails to generate a new .js for it | 22:20 |
| Teleportable | bekks as array | 22:20 |
| bekks | Teleportable: Then its the name of the filesystem, which can be safely ignored. | 22:20 |
| Teleportable | bekks true | 22:21 |
| bekks | Teleportable: And enter is not a punctuation sign, | 22:21 |
| Teleportable | bekks is there no option for Rename external hards? | 22:22 |
| bekks | Teleportable: You can rename them as you like. It will not even affect your "problem". | 22:22 |
| Teleportable | bekks theres no option for | 22:23 |
| Naphatul | amanda_k: try to see if anything here helps: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/cookbook/#command-line-options | 22:23 |
| Teleportable | bekks (its inactive) | 22:23 |
| Naphatul | otherwise i'm out of ideas | 22:23 |
| bekks | Teleportable: There is. It will not affect your problem. | 22:23 |
| Teleportable | bekks but ardour could read all correct when i changed its path | 22:23 |
| bekks | Teleportable: The path will not be changed by renaming the filesystem. | 22:24 |
| bekks | Teleportable: Thats why "it will not affect your problem". | 22:24 |
| trism | amanda_k: that is strange, I am making directories all over the place here and adding new files without a problem, I would suggest a permission issue but if it really works the first time... | 22:24 |
| guzzlefry | How likely is an Ubuntu Server to break after updates? | 22:24 |
| Teleportable | bekks give me a chance | 22:24 |
| Teleportable | bekks is there a cmd for terminal to rename by sudo? | 22:25 |
| k1l | guzzlefry: depends on the setting. but 3rd party software will brake faster | 22:25 |
| bekks | Teleportable: tune2fs - but again, for the third time: it will not solve your problem. | 22:25 |
| * guzzlefry is used to source-based distros. So isn't sure as to how much more reliable binary-based are. | 22:25 | |
| bekks | guzzlefry: This isnt #statistics. | 22:25 |
| bekks | guzzlefry: Just have a backup handy. | 22:25 |
| trism | amanda_k: maybe try creating a new directory and just adding one file, then check the perms before and after? | 22:25 |
| Teleportable | bekks ah ok but how to change the array? :'( | 22:26 |
| Naphatul | guzzlefry: if you want really stable go use debian stable | 22:26 |
| bekks | Teleportable: There is no such array whatsoever. | 22:26 |
| jason_hudson | guzzlefry, it's generally unlikely. | 22:26 |
| guzzlefry | ok, thanks | 22:26 |
| bekks | Teleportable: Filesystem names arent kept in arrays. | 22:26 |
| k1l | guzzlefry: take a look at the lts releases from ubuntu | 22:26 |
| Dr_Willis | stick with the default repos, no ppa's and you shouldent have many issues. | 22:26 |
| k1l | !lts | guzzlefry | 22:26 |
| ubottu | guzzlefry: LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop.

| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, no.. they do other changes.. and mint is not supported here.. it the main point. ask about mint in the mint channels | 22:45 |

| jason_hudson | akhilleus, quello è #ubuntu-it | 22:46 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, because this is Ubuntu support.. I imagine mint support will say use mint.. I dont see much point in using mint at all. | 22:47 |
| kontagious | jason_hudson, where are the open source drivers located? if its in ubuntu software center they didnt work :( | 22:47 |
| jason_hudson | kontagious, you should see them in the software centre yeah. | 22:47 |

| Ari-Yang | by the sound of those glitches, kontagious I'm thinking you're using the proprietary one, which you're bound to run into glitches | 22:48 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, count the # of people in the support channel.. and see who has the most people.. If you want to use mint then GO use it.. decide for yourself | 22:48 |

| Dr_Willis | harumph, its allredy been done on ubuntu. :) | 22:51 |
| Dr_Willis | !netflix | harumph | 22:51 |
| ubottu | harumph: If you use Netflix, there is an unofficial solution for using it in Ubuntu detailed in http://www.compholio.com/netflix-desktop/ - bug reports in https://bugs.launchpad.net/netflix-desktop | 22:51 |
| kontagious | Ari-Yang, thanks ill try that | 22:52 |
| reisio | harumph: Wine should work alright, there're some things you can do to increase performance, though | 22:52 |
| Dr_Willis | that netflix on ubuntu has a tweaked wine, silverlight, and firefox i belive in it.. | 22:52 |
| Dako300 | I cannot get ubuntu 12.04 to boot into X with my Radeon X1600 card. It has a segmentation fault at address 0xc whenever I try and run sudo startx. | 22:52 |
| === LordDeath__ is now known as LordDeath | ||
| harumph | reisio, what do you suggest to increase performance? | 22:53 |
| Dako300 | any help would be nice | 22:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300, dont run startx with sudo. would be a good idea. | 22:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300, tell the channel what video driver you are using also.. | 22:53 |
| Dako300 | I am using the radeon driver supplied with ubuntu 12.04 | 22:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300, tried the fglrx driver from the addational-drivers tool/tab yet? | 22:54 |
| Dako300 | I will try that now. | 22:54 |
| EpicCyndaquil | is there another channel dedicated to ubuntu server? | 22:55 |
| voxadm | Naphatul: I enter my password when I'm prompted for it. "Password for adam@//DROGON/share:" | 22:55 |
| Ari-Yang | kontagious, after you select a driver, you'll have to restart your computer | 22:55 |
| reisio | harumph: I've found just giving it a second and using fullscreen helps a lot | 22:55 |
| xangua | EpicCyndaquil: #ubuntu-server | 22:55 |
| Naphatul | voxadm: are you entering the password for the windows machine? | 22:55 |
| reisio | harumph: if you're using Unity... it might help to use something else that isn't accelerated | 22:55 |
| wilee-nilee | Dako300, More info. http://askubuntu.com/questions/159531/any-chance-for-fully-working-x1600-pci-e-id-71c3-unity-under-ubuntu-12-04 | 22:55 |
| voxadm | Naphatul: Yep. | 22:55 |
| Ari-Yang | be careful with fglrx, I've seen people try it and were unable to start x after installing it kontagious (and Dako300), just make sure you get it from the ubuntu repo (like from the Additional Drivers tool or sudo apt-get install fglrx or fglrx-updates) | 22:56 |
| draconus | hello folks | 22:56 |

| harumph | reisio: thanks, i'll look into that. | 22:57 |
| reisio | isn't it! | 22:57 |
| amanda_k | trism: shit. is it worth mentioning that im running this in a virtualbox/ vagrant box? | 22:58 |
| Dako300_ | I try and start lightdm but it will not let me log into anything | 22:58 |
| PyR3X | When I run "padsp ./quake2" I get "Sorry but your sound card doesn't support this" | 22:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300, clarify what you mean by that | 22:58 |
| Dako300_ | it just loops back to the login screen | 22:58 |
| k1l | Dako300: so you see the login screen? | 22:58 |
| amanda_k | maybe thats why the fs events are not being passes up ? | 22:58 |
| Dako300_ | yes | 22:58 |
| k1l | Dako300: then take a look into the .xsession-errors | 22:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300, so your user session crashes back to the lightm login screen. | 22:58 |
| k1l | (in home that is) | 22:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300, does the guest account work? add a new user - see if that account works | 22:59 |
| draconus | would you happen to know how to forward traffic on certain port from one IP to another on the same, multihomed host? | 22:59 |
| For-Odin | anyone know how to fix console (virtual tty) text alignment? my text is shifted left a few characters and cant see my username... | 22:59 |
| Dako300_ | I know it doesnt work because when I try it on a ubuntu live CD it complains that it needs to run in low graphics mode and when I click OK everything crashes | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300_, if the LIGHTDM login screen is working.. then X is working. | 22:59 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300_, its possible its a user setting issue causing problems. thus the Guest user, and new user test may pinpoint the issue | 23:00 |
| Dako300_ | FYI: This is a fresh install | 23:00 |
| draconus2 | damn got d/c | 23:00 |
| Dr_Willis | Dako300_, and you have been running 'sudo startx' that may goof up the users settings.. so again. I suggest trying the GUEST user, and adding a new user. and verify that they both fail to work also | 23:01 |
| Naphatul | voxadm: make sure that the username is just 'adam' | 23:02 |
| Dako300_ | I have a 2 GPU setup (the BIOS boots from a TNT2 since it cannot POST with only the X1600) and I forgot to change it back. When I actually change it to the X1600, I get a blank screen with the radeon driver | 23:03 |
| EpicCyndaquil | I've followed a few guides on setting up dovecot and postfix, but I can't seem to get it right. Does anyone with experience with mailservers have any suggestions? | 23:03 |

| Dako300_ | Whenever I try and modprobe the fglrx driver, it says that it cannot find a card | 23:04 |
| Dako300_ | I will reboot and see if that helps | 23:05 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I have a windows 8 laptop, and I want to use wubi, is there a way to do it? | 23:05 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, wubi is worth avoiding at all cost. and i dont think it works with windows 8 | 23:06 |
| k1l | XYZAFFA1R: make a real install. wubi is very flaky and is hard to support | 23:06 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Ok | 23:06 |
| reisio | even if wubi weren't flaky, NTFS would be :p | 23:06 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I have had some trouble with partitioning in the past | 23:06 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I kinda screwed a hard drive once | 23:06 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: backup first :) | 23:06 |
| Dr_Willis | if you want to toy with ubuntu in the least destuctive way. play with it in virtualbox | 23:07 |
| Dr_Willis | or use an external usb hd or flash drive. | 23:07 |
| reisio | pish, destruction ftw | 23:07 |

| niko_beilic | I'm having trouble install Ubuntu 13.04 on my PC, I've got Windows on a H.D.D | 23:07 |

| XYZAFFA1R | I know I want it again | 23:07 |

| XYZAFFA1R | I like puppy but | 23:07 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I want ubuntu | 23:07 |
| reisio | but puppy has no purpose :) | 23:07 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Its purpose, is that its better than windows | 23:08 |
| niko_beilic | reisio: the bootloader is failing to install | 23:08 |
| Dr_Willis | comparing Puppylinux to ubuntu is like comparing a model airplane to the space shuttle. ;) | 23:08 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: that's like everything's purpose, though :p | 23:08 |
| XYZAFFA1R | So, How do i back this up? | 23:08 |
| === daniel__ is now known as Dako300 | ||
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, back 'what' up? | 23:08 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: well well well | 23:08 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Can I back up a 320 gig hdd onto a 720 meg disk? | 23:09 |
| XYZAFFA1R | My hdd | 23:09 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: is there anything you've added to your Windows installation that you can't live without? | 23:09 |
| XYZAFFA1R | No | 23:09 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I dont care about my windows shit | 23:09 |
| reisio | good, that makes it easier | 23:09 |
| XYZAFFA1R | PArdon my language | 23:09 |
| reisio | do you ever want to use Windows again? | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | id be sure to make a proper windows dvd restore/recovery disk set first. | 23:09 |
| jason_hudson | XYZAFFA1R, it's called feces. | 23:09 |
| reisio | ... | 23:09 |
| Dr_Willis | because you may just need them... | 23:09 |
| XYZAFFA1R | How do I make a back up cd? | 23:10 |
| reisio | burning DVDs is so awful | 23:10 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I dont even know how :) | 23:10 |
| reisio | if your laptop isn't terrible it has a recovery _partition_ | 23:10 |
| reisio | which you can backup instead of making DVDs | 23:10 |
| XYZAFFA1R | yes it dose | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | your windows guides/help for your laptop - should have info on making a set and a tool | 23:10 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: know how large it is? | 23:10 |
| Dako300 | I tried the reboot and still getting no data from the card. When I try and modprobe fglrx (radeon driver is not up), it still says that no display adapetrs were found | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | I make up DVDS because often i remove the partion for linux. ;) | 23:10 |
| Dr_Willis | or move out the HD. | 23:10 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I will check one seck | 23:10 |
| reisio | I refuse to deal with Windows anymore, it's easier that way :) | 23:11 |
| reisio | and saves space on the backups drives | 23:11 |
| Dr_Willis | new laptop -> get me a ssd for it.. remove windows hd.. keep it somewhere safe.. use linux on the ssd. ;) | 23:11 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I have 4 partitions | 23:11 |
| XYZAFFA1R | 2 vfat | 23:11 |
| XYZAFFA1R | and 2ntsf | 23:11 |
| niko_beilic | reisio: i have 2 working HDD's on is a blank which I will be installingUbuntu 13.04 and the second hdd is windows | 23:11 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Obviously windows is the 297 gig | 23:11 |
| zipy | when i mount a device into home, are all files in home not reachable anymore or will they merge the home files and the hdd files | 23:11 |
| reisio | niko_beilic: so the installer finished, but it won't boot? | 23:11 |
| XYZAFFA1R | SO I think its 492 meg | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | zipy, mountpoints dont 'merge' | 23:12 |
| niko_beilic | reisio: nope it's just failing to install GRUB | 23:12 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: probably you can just backup all but the largest partition, and that'll get you the recovery stuff, should you need it | 23:12 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: but please don't quote me on that :p | 23:12 |
| Dr_Willis | zipy, if you mount /dev/sda1 to /home/ it will take over /home/ | 23:12 |
| zipy | Dr_Willis, ok thanks | 23:12 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I accidently saved my puppy files in my restore partition, is that going to be a problem? | 23:13 |
| reisio | niko_beilic: grub is usually installed near the end is why I ask | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, safest bet would be to figure out what app your pc has to make a restore dvd set.. and make the set. | 23:13 |
| XYZAFFA1R | ok | 23:13 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I accidently saved my puppy files in my restore partition, is that going to be a problem? | 23:13 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, puppy just looks for them.. nothing else will care. | 23:13 |
| Dako300 | I think that the fglrx driver is too new for my card. | 23:13 |

| guzzlefry | Actually, maybe I should ask in #ubuntu-server. :P | 23:18 |

| reisio | niko_beilic: more likely the automagickal grub stuff is just failing for your particular situation | 23:22 |
| wilee-nilee | niko_beilic, Right, do what you want, personally I would use the script to knock out the variables. With uefi and gpt being part of OS, all it takes is remnants of a gpt to cause this, the script will show this, it is the only way I know. | 23:22 |
| reisio | luckily it's not that complicated to do manually | 23:22 |
| wilee-nilee | yeah grub is an easy fix though | 23:22 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Dr_willis, is that right? If I screw up the partitioning can I use this to fix it? | 23:22 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Dr_willis, are you there? | 23:23 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Is d willi still there? | 23:23 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: | 23:23 |
| XYZAFFA1R | ? | 23:23 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: if they sent you a recovery disk, and you have the license key or whatever | 23:23 |
| reisio | that should be enough | 23:23 |
| niko_beilic | wilee-nilee & reisio Windows is NTFS and Ubuntu is GRUB | 23:24 |

| === Lozzy_uk is now known as Lozzy | ||
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, the installer has options to delete everything and install ubuntu. if you want to whipe the whole hd | 23:27 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Dr_willis, I am not doing that, | 23:27 |
| rannonga | theres also the something else option | 23:27 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, then you use the other options.. i suggest you have backups of imporntant stuff first | 23:28 |
| XYZAFFA1R | There is a partitioning option | 23:28 |
| rannonga | then you can just resize the partitions through there | 23:28 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I have the cd | 23:28 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Isnt that all I need? | 23:28 |
| rannonga | yeah its in the cd | 23:28 |
| Dr_Willis | Backup imporntant stuff to some other location, use the installer to resize or perhaps delete the recovery partion if you need space. and make a ubuntu partion to install to | 23:28 |
| XYZAFFA1R | How do I make it let me choose ubuntu or windows on start up? | 23:29 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: if you're confident you have a DVD with all you need to reinstall Windows, you can just tell the Ubuntu install media to use the whole disk, wiping out existing data | 23:29 |
| reisio | at least, barring any UEFI nonsense :p | 23:29 |
| reisio | I don't know about that stuff | 23:29 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: should do that by default, if you keep Windows | 23:29 |
| XYZAFFA1R | ok | 23:29 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Um | 23:29 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I wish some one could be there to help :/ | 23:30 |
| rannonga | that seems a bit excessive considering that there is no secureboot | 23:30 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: we're right here :p | 23:30 |
| Dr_Willis | boot installer.. click install along side windows.. see if it works.. | 23:30 |
| reisio | rannonga: what does? | 23:30 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Dr_willis, I dont think that works | 23:30 |
| rannonga | wiping the windows partition | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, how do you know? thats whats most people use. | 23:31 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Dr_willis, I dont know | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | personally id use a new seperate hard drive. :) but thats bcasue i always want to use ssd's for my linux installs.. they are soooooo much faster | 23:31 |
| Dr_Willis | best $100 investment ive ever made | 23:31 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| rannonga | I would just boot into windows, download a partition software create the partions then reboot and manually install to the new partition | 23:32 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I am going to use the ubuntu partition stuff. | 23:32 |
| rannonga | k | 23:32 |
| Dr_Willis | windows is faster at resizeing the windows paritons ive noticed. | 23:32 |
| XYZAFFA1R | And I have $.7 Not $100 | 23:32 |
| Dr_Willis | sell your laptop. ;) | 23:33 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Genious | 23:33 |
| XYZAFFA1R | And I am tired of waiting | 23:33 |
| mikodo | XYZAFFA1R, Which version of Windows do you have? | 23:33 |
| reisio | if it's not fragmented, and it shouldn't be, the likelihood the resize will be fast and bug free is pretty high | 23:33 |
| XYZAFFA1R | 8 | 23:33 |
| Dr_Willis | if you got stuff backed up.. and dont care for the risk.. try the install alongside option and see if it work | 23:33 |
| rannonga | It would be very easy then | 23:33 |
| reisio | after you resize, before you install Ubuntu, reboot back into Windows and let it fsck | 23:33 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Of course its fragmented | 23:33 |
| XYZAFFA1R | its windows | 23:33 |
| reisio | well, Windows constantly defrags by default these days | 23:34 |
| rannonga | how much have you used of it? | 23:34 |
| Dr_Willis | have windows defrag first if you are worried about it. | 23:34 |
| reisio | it's not as elegant as not being fragmented in the first place, but it's better than it was | 23:34 |
| Dr_Willis | reisio, and you get to hear your windows machines running all night long defragging! ;P | 23:34 |
| reisio | yessir :p | 23:34 |
| reisio | great way to kill hardware, Windows | 23:34 |

| zerodivided | Dr_Willis, ok Ill try it out | 23:37 |
| rannonga | XYZ: yeah should be fine i think | 23:37 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, depends on what you want to do with ubuntu. | 23:37 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: 30GB Is more than enough | 23:37 |
| rannonga | XYZ: just dont download too much HD movies | 23:37 |
| reisio | took me years of system bloating to fill up 30GB with OS data | 23:37 |
| Dr_Willis | one reason ssd's and ubuntu work well. :) Ubuntu dosent need the huge space windows does. | 23:37 |
| reisio | better FSes | 23:38 |
| rannonga | XYZ: to be honest I would try ubuntu and use gparted | 23:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Chicks dig guys that use Ubuntu. ;) | 23:39 |
| kontagious | Ari-Yang, i have installed additional drivers from software center and it doesnt show my tv as a display and thinks my monitor is a laptop display | 23:39 |
| XYZAFFA1R | what is gparted | 23:39 |
| Dr_Willis | !gparted | 23:39 |
| ubottu | gparted is a !GTK/!Gnome !GUI partitioning program. Type « sudo apt-get install gparted » in a console to install it - A GParted "live" CD is available at http://gparted.sourceforge.net/livecd.php | 23:39 |
| rannonga | XYZ: it comes on the live cd | 23:39 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Cant I just use the partition tool that is on the cd? | 23:40 |
| rannonga | XYZ: yeah that is gparted | 23:40 |
| XYZAFFA1R | oh ok | 23:40 |
| reisio | well, gparted is one frontend to what the installer probably uses for partitioning: parted | 23:40 |
| rannonga | XYZ: you just need to go to something else the bottom option then resize your windows partition | 23:40 |
| reisio | gparted being the one a human being would be more likely to use | 23:40 |
| XYZAFFA1R | So, I go in, resize windows partition, make a new partition with the empty space, and install ubuntu on that? | 23:40 |
| rannonga | XYZ: yes | 23:40 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: ubuntu can make the partition itself, just resize | 23:41 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Its that easy? | 23:41 |
| reisio | and reboot to Windows to see if it still works | 23:41 |
| rannonga | XYZ: create a ext4 then mount it as root | 23:41 |
| XYZAFFA1R | After I install ubuntu? | 23:41 |
| Dr_Willis | the installer can automate that.. thats what 'install along side windows' does | 23:41 |
| XYZAFFA1R | what is ext4? | 23:41 |
| zerodivided | So the option in amdcccle to turn off display cloning is grayed out. Any ideas? | 23:41 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: resize, reboot to windows see if it works, reboot to install media, install Ubuntu | 23:41 |
| rannonga | XYZ: the file type that ubuntu uses | 23:41 |
| XYZAFFA1R | ok | 23:41 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: ext4 is the standard FS for GNU/Linux systems these days | 23:41 |
| rannonga | XYZ: yeah\ | 23:41 |
| reisio | it's like NTFS, but not nearly as awful | 23:41 |
| zerodivided | wait i think i know what to do | 23:42 |
| zerodivided | sudo!!! | 23:42 |
| reisio | zerodivided: yay | 23:42 |
| rannonga | XYZ: the benefit of manual is you can choose the size you want | 23:42 |
| XYZAFFA1R | So, one person please, and stop confuzing, I resize windows partition, open windows make sure it works, then install ubuntu on the open space? | 23:42 |
| zerodivided | yeah that was it | 23:42 |
| rannonga | xyz: precisely | 23:42 |
| XYZAFFA1R | That simple? | 23:42 |
| XYZAFFA1R | No more to it? | 23:42 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: precisely | 23:42 |
| rannonga | XYZ: yes | 23:42 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Ok Uber | 23:42 |
| reisio | XYZAFFA1R: most likely | 23:42 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, you will install ubuntu into the UNALLOCATED space left over from the resizeing. and you will want 2 partions, one for / and one for swap | 23:42 |
| XYZAFFA1R | whats the swap? | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, once you resize. you can reboot and restart the installer and it should automatically partion the unallocated space as needed. making a / and a swap | 23:43 |
| XYZAFFA1R | So it does it for me? | 23:43 |
| Dr_Willis | 'install alongside windows' SHOULD automatically resize and make the 2 partions | 23:43 |
| XYZAFFA1R | ok | 23:43 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I will just do that | 23:43 |
| rantic | Anyone mind letting a newbie know the proper way to switch windows in Unity, is it really to just alt + tab or is there something similar to the peek in gnome 3? | 23:43 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I will be back after to tell you how it all works out | 23:44 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Bye! | 23:44 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Thank you | 23:44 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Anything else? | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rantic, theres alternative windows-switcher plugins for compiz. then theres the expose plugin and so forth | 23:44 |
| rannonga | XYZ: no it should work | 23:44 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Bye then | 23:44 |
| Dr_Willis | rantic, explore the 'ccsm' tool to play with the others | 23:44 |
| reisio | rantic: the top left corner doesn't do anything? | 23:45 |
| trism | amanda_k: are you using a shared folder (with the host?) | 23:46 |
| trism | amanda_k: I noticed http://serverfault.com/questions/453826/vagrant-shared-folder-and-file-change-events | 23:46 |
| trism | amanda_k: although it wouldn't explain why it works when you run coffee manually | 23:47 |
| sp00ky | I'm using 12.04 and for some reason over about the past week my wireless speeds have become very slow regardless of the wireless network used. Has anyone experienced anything similar? | 23:47 |
| reisio | turn off your torrent client | 23:47 |

| osx5 | hey is there a channel to talk about Ubuntu phone? | 23:49 |
| mikodo | Dr_Willis, I am putting in a SSD for boot and /root installs of multiple linux distros, with a larger platter for symlinking my DATA to the /mnt in each / install. Data on platter drive will be docs/muisic/pics/videos/ . I plan to install Xubuntu (different versions, including testing Alpha/Beta's), Debian Wheezy Xfce and maybe a few other small distros. HOW much should I allocate per partition install of each Root? Would 15 GB for each | 23:49 |
| mikodo | be enough? ... Thanks. | 23:49 |
| reisio | /msg alis list *ubunt* | 23:49 |
| Dr_Willis | mikodo, 15gb may be to small to do any real work. :) but it depends on the actual jobs you are doing. you may want to put swap and any tmp dirs on the non-ssd drives as well | 23:50 |
| mikodo | Dr_Willis, Thank you! | 23:50 |
| afflicto | Anyone have problems with flickering video and HTML5/css3 stuff? | 23:51 |
| DWSR | !ddrescue | 23:51 |
| phong_ | good morning guys | 23:51 |
| goddard | where is my sftp mounts if looking from the command line? | 23:52 |
| goddard | im using nautilus | 23:52 |
| jason_hudson | I have a question, I'm not too sure it would fit this channel's topic but it is Ubuntu related. Does "DNE" on Ubuntu's security advisories mean "Does Not Exist"? | 23:53 |
| trism | goddard: /run/user/username/gvfs/ in recent ubuntus | 23:54 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Install along side windows isnt an option | 23:55 |
| rannonga | XYZ: I'm assuming the partitioning was successful? | 23:55 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: I think he's talking about 15G just for / | 23:55 |
| Dr_Willis | most likely because you have 4 partitions allready. and you may need to remove one or more of them | 23:55 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Really? | 23:55 |
| usr13 | Dr_Willis: And having /home/ on another partition. Right? | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | 4 primary partion limit. | 23:56 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Is there any that are unimportant? | 23:56 |
| kontagious | "this driver is activated but not in use" | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, the system recovery partion --- IF You have a backup DVD set | 23:56 |
| kontagious | hey im trying to use jockey to install drivers but its not working | 23:56 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I cant task that risk | 23:56 |
| rannonga | XYZ: I think you should really do it manually | 23:56 |
| XYZAFFA1R | Is there another way? | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | windows 8 uses a boot partion, and its own actual work partion. no idea what the other 2 are. one may be a recovery boot partion, and the last the actual recovery data partion | 23:56 |
| Dr_Willis | XYZAFFA1R, if you have a dvd recovery set.. then you can revovery from it if needed | 23:57 |
| kontagious | when i open jockey it says "NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernal module and VDPAU library" | 23:57 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I dont know if they work. | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | you said you had a set. and a usb recovery thing | 23:57 |
| kontagious | i am using ati not nvidea | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | boot them and see perhaps? | 23:57 |
| XYZAFFA1R | No | 23:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Your HD can die at any time.. so you better hope they work ;) | 23:57 |
| w30 | goddard, I make a symboic link named sammy to my /run/user/kolklay/gvfs gor my convience | 23:57 |
| w30 | gor/for | 23:58 |
| XYZAFFA1R | I would have to delete the recovery partition to see if they work that way | 23:58 |
| kline | is there a known reason behind dd (or usb) slowing down on long operations? | 23:58 |
| usr13 | kontagious: "Jockey has been replaced with ubuntu-drivers-common and software-properties" | 23:58 |
| kontagious | thanks usr13 i will try it | 23:59 |
