| RaveYoda | jrib, I seriously don't know. | 00:00 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: remove "interesting" from my question | 00:00 |
| === mikestewart is now known as ms|dinnertime | ||
| RaveYoda | jrib, I can't say so. But here is the thing, when this happened with virtualbox I did edit the dpkg file to no longer have the virtualbox listed in it. But I KNOW i only removed the vbox entry | 00:02 |
| xangua | Where is the graphic of ubuntu edge¿ | 00:02 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: :/ | 00:02 |
| rannonga | xangua, what? | 00:02 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, and even then, removing the vbox entry shouldn't affect wicd for instance | 00:03 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: what exactly did you do to remove the vbox entry? | 00:03 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, I went in to the dpkg file; found vboxl deleted it and then restarted my system | 00:04 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: define "the dpkg file" | 00:04 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, That's what it's called. dpkg. -shrugs- I don't even recall it's exact location | 00:05 |
| Casey | is 8GB of DDR3 ram "overkill" for a linux fileserver? roughly 20-25 users accessing data, maybe a total of 10 users at once. Data is stretched over 2, 2TB raid1 drives on a raid controller. | 00:05 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, I think it was in /usr/share | 00:05 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, brb | 00:05 |
| Casey | CPU is a AMD 550 BE dual-core 3.1GHZ 6MB L3 cache | 00:05 |
| CheckDavid_ | I installed ubuntu on Virtual box, and I wonder why it starts up on TTY | 00:07 |
| CheckDavid_ | It's like, command line stuff. I don't know much about this to be honest. | 00:07 |
| Ben64 | maybe you installed ubuntu server | 00:07 |
| Casey | CheckDavid: sounds like Ubuntu Server. | 00:08 |
| Casey | CheckDavid: if you installed Server edition, you can get gui by doing these simple command lines..... | 00:08 |
| Casey | CheckDavid: sudo apt-get update | 00:09 |
| Casey | CheckDavid: then input password and let it run. Next command, sudo apt-get upgrade then let those install. Lastly, sudo apt-get install Ubuntu-desktop | 00:10 |
| CheckDavid_ | Oh, how do I know if it is server? | 00:10 |
| genii | First check that you didn't get dumped into a root recovery console | 00:10 |
| CheckDavid_ | The name of the iso is ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso | 00:10 |
| Ben64 | then thats not server | 00:10 |
| Casey | CheckDavid: look at the file you downloaded... | 00:11 |
| Casey | CheckDavid: that is not server, | 00:11 |
| Casey | yeah Ben64: said it | 00:11 |
| rannonga | is that the right architechure? | 00:11 |
| genii | You might either be in: grub prompt or: root recovery prompt | 00:11 |
| CheckDavid_ | So, what do I do exactly' | 00:11 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: tell us exactly what is on the screen | 00:11 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, back | 00:12 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, Anyway, this also affects Ubuntu Builder | 00:12 |
| CheckDavid_ | Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS d-Virtuabox tty1 | 00:12 |
| CheckDavid_ | d-Virtualbox login: | 00:12 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: my guess is it is because of your manual edits to some file that you don't know the location of | 00:12 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: especially if this is happening with multiple unrelated packages | 00:13 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: log in | 00:13 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi is mir only for unity? | 00:13 |
| CheckDavid_ | Done | 00:13 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, Yes, my thoughts too. The issue is how to fix this | 00:13 |
| CheckDavid_ | what do I do after logging in? | 00:13 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: step 1) figure out what file you edited | 00:13 |
| rannonga | David, are you still at the terminal? | 00:14 |
| energizer | I'm trying to shrink a partition in Gparted to install a new distro. Can someone help me walk through the gparted configuration? | 00:14 |
| Ben64 | RaveYoda: step 2) don't edit random files again if you don't know what they do | 00:14 |
| rannonga | sure, energizer | 00:14 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, yes | 00:14 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: sudo service lightdm start | 00:14 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, Yes, well, this was through a tut | 00:15 |
| CheckDavid_ | Ben64, but why this happens? | 00:15 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, I just followed it...blindly.... | 00:15 |
| rannonga | energizer, what is the filetype? | 00:15 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: that's a good start, find the tut. Or check your history | 00:15 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: don't know, we don't really have any details from you | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Take a screenshot of gparted and put it in a imagebin. | 00:15 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, Heh...heh...the history is cleaned when ff stops | 00:16 |
| CheckDavid_ | I just installed Ubuntu on a VirtualBox | 00:16 |
| rannonga | final fantasy? | 00:16 |
| CheckDavid_ | What other details are there? Hardware specs Ben64 ? | 00:16 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: command line history | 00:16 |
| saiarcot895 | troulouliou_dev: no, mir can run on unity any other popular DEs | 00:16 |
| === ReAzem_ is now known as reazem | ||
| rannonga | yeah are you sure its i386? | 00:17 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: how you installed, what you did during install, after install, hardware specs sure | 00:17 |
| rannonga | your computer? | 00:17 |
| saiarcot895 | !mir | troulouliou_dev | 00:17 |
| CheckDavid_ | I may have a 64 bit machine, you think that is a problem? | 00:17 |
| ubottu | troulouliou_dev: Mir is the next-generation display server currently under development by Canonical and Ubuntu. It's slated for inclusion in Ubuntu 14.04. For more information on it, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Mir/Spec . For code, see https://launchpad.net/mir | 00:17 |
| Casey | anyone know why Ubuntu will only allow my nic card to connect at 10/100 and not 1000? cable, router, and nic all support 1000mbps . I go into network tools and it shows "link speed: not available | 00:18 |
| rannonga | david, yeah, if you have a 64 bit machine should use the other architecture | 00:18 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, well...i'll be here for a while | 00:18 |
| CheckDavid_ | http://www.wikihow.com/Install-Ubuntu-on-VirtualBox <-- I just followed this | 00:18 |
| rannonga | are you on windows atm? | 00:18 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, actually, it wasnt through cli | 00:18 |
| troulouliou_dev | saiarcot895, but all the de needto be patched for mir no? | 00:18 |
| troulouliou_dev | saiarcot895, as for wayland | 00:19 |
| Casey | rannonga: but do you really think that would have to do with him not getting a GUI? | 00:19 |
| CheckDavid_ | Yes I am rannonga | 00:19 |
| rannonga | i dont know | 00:19 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, i gksud mucommander then found the file | 00:19 |
| CheckDavid_ | I thought 32 bit would work fine. | 00:19 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: im running gparted live | 00:19 |
| rannonga | it should | 00:19 |
| CheckDavid_ | So 32 bit has problems working on 64? | 00:19 |
| rannonga | no | 00:19 |
| CheckDavid_ | Oh, I am completely lost. | 00:19 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, also, i found A dpkg folder in /etc | 00:19 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: did you try what i suggested yet | 00:20 |
| CheckDavid_ | Tried so many things today to get Ubuntu to work. | 00:20 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, hit the prtsc button and put the image in a imagebin. | 00:20 |
| rannonga | are you sure you actually have a window manager? | 00:20 |
| rannonga | david, ? | 00:20 |
| saiarcot895 | troulouliou_dev: I don't know about any patches needed for Mir to run on other DE's; according to some videos, Mir runs on KDE, LXDE, etc. | 00:20 |
| CheckDavid_ | Ben64, May you remind of of your last suggestion please? | 00:20 |
| wilee-nilee | !imagebin | energizer | 00:20 |
| ubottu | energizer: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 00:20 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: sudo service lightdm start | 00:21 |
| Casey | CheckDavid_: is this a clean install? | 00:21 |
| OerHeks | saiarcot895, not on KDE, i am sure | 00:21 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, I don't like to help in these circumstances without seeing a pic myself. | 00:21 |
| saiarcot895 | OerHeks and troulouliou_dev: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8h0m-ZjPxe8 | 00:21 |
| CheckDavid_ | Ben64, oh yes I did, it just listed a lot of stuff, says ok to all, nothing more. | 00:21 |
| rannonga | then restart? | 00:21 |
| saiarcot895 | OerHeks: at least, according to Canonical | 00:21 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: can you pastebin it, or screenshot | 00:21 |
| CheckDavid_ | Casey, what does it mean, clean install? | 00:21 |
| CheckDavid_ | How do I select it ? | 00:22 |
| CheckDavid_ | Would be nice if I could pastebin | 00:22 |
| rannonga | lol yeah | 00:22 |
| Casey | CheckDavid_: Did you just install this and nothing more, ie no apps installed, updates, etc.. | 00:22 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: so apparently gparted live doesnt access my internet connection (im doing irc on another comp). im going to take a picture with my phone. | 00:22 |
| rannonga | oh a live cd? | 00:22 |
| atifear | If I have a radeon 4870 what is the best distro to play games on steam? | 00:22 |
| rannonga | are you dual booting? | 00:22 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Ah a gparted only boot, I think it does have a browser but yeah not as easy as live ubuntu. | 00:22 |
| CheckDavid_ | No, nothing more Casey | 00:23 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: sudo service lightdm start | curl -F 'sprunge=<-' http://sprunge.us | 00:23 |
| rannonga | David, if all else fails i would suggest reinstalling | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | CheckDavid_, Install pastebinit and you can run command | pastebunit and you will get the url to it | 00:23 |
| wilee-nilee | command | pastebinit* | 00:24 |
| Casey | CheckDavid_: So instead of trying to troubleshoot the issue, try another fresh install, this time with a 64-bit. I have it on my win7 laptop in vbox and works perfect. Sounds like a bad install or the wrong architecture. it'll save you more time. | 00:24 |
| rannonga | yeah whats your ram amount? | 00:24 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: http://i.imgur.com/e694SId.jpg | 00:25 |
| CheckDavid_ | Casey, maybe I will try that. Ben64 what do you think about this suggestion? | 00:25 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid_: go for it | 00:25 |
| rannonga | or just go into my computer and right click and select properties, it should tell you the architecture | 00:25 |
| CheckDavid_ | Also Ben64 I lost access to the console after your command | 00:25 |
| CheckDavid_ | So it lists that stuff, and then it sort of crashes | 00:25 |
| CheckDavid_ | NOt sure, just can't type anything | 00:25 |
| Casey | checkdavid_: http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop/thank-you?release=lts&bits=64&distro=desktop&status=zeroc is the direct download from ubuntu's website. | 00:26 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, So you want to shrink the sdb2? | 00:26 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: ya | 00:26 |
| rannonga | energizer, you should be able to just click on the partition and then select resize | 00:27 |
| rannonga | from the menu | 00:27 |
| CheckDavid_ | I am downloading already Casey , thanks | 00:27 |
| Casey | CheckDavid_: No problem | 00:28 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: rannonga ok clicked resize sdb2 and a window appears. i type 10000 into the "Free space following"? | 00:28 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Cool, so as of now you have 3 primary partitions you are only allowed 4 at the max, so we want to get an extended in there, in which you can put multiple logicals in for future fun. So you you will at this point right click the sdb2 then resize and make it the size you want. | 00:28 |
| Casey | anyone know why Ubuntu will only allow my nic card to connect at 10/100 and not 1000? cable, router, and nic all support 1000mbps . I go into network tools and it shows "link speed: not available | 00:28 |
| rannonga | energizer, yeah that should be k | 00:29 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Another key thing with partitions is that you want them to go from left to right, up numerically in order. | 00:29 |
| OerHeks | Casey, open terminal: lspci # and search the forums with the 8 digit hex number, if there is a known bug, you will find it. | 00:30 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: what do you mean | 00:30 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, That resize has a slider. | 00:30 |
| OerHeks | lspci # and search for your NIC first offcourse | 00:30 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, What do I mean where, I mentioned several things, but the resize has a slider to make it easiest. | 00:31 |
| CheckDavid_ | I wonder if this is really somethign reasonable to do. Changing from 32 to 64 I mean. | 00:31 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: ok and then i press apply? | 00:31 |
| CheckDavid_ | I thought there was backward compatibility, if this is a correct term. | 00:31 |
| rannonga | check, it might just have been a bad install | 00:31 |
| rannonga | check, you probably didn't actually need to download the 64bit | 00:31 |
| OerHeks | CheckDavid_, a 32 bit VM should run fine on 64 bit host | 00:31 |
| rannonga | energizer, yes | 00:32 |
| CheckDavid_ | What about a Liveusb 32bits on a 64 bit machine? | 00:32 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Yeah if you have it set to the new size you want hit the green check in the top panel. | 00:32 |
| rannonga | check, it just limits the ram usage | 00:32 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, I found the file | 00:32 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: sorry, gonna go play some rball | 00:32 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, It's in /var/lib/dpkg/status | 00:32 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, ohh | 00:33 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, T.T | 00:33 |
| jrib | RaveYoda: you should have status-old though. compare for significant differences. | 00:33 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: ok | 00:33 |
| RaveYoda | jrib, Willco | 00:33 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: i was having some trouble doing this while booted from sdb. is that normally the case? its working much easier now thatt im in the gparted live boot. | 00:34 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, It may take a little while and you will have an unallocated space. Yes you can not resize a mounted partition. | 00:34 |
| CheckDavid_ | Is the thing I was getting called a TTY console? | 00:34 |
| sam113101 | how do I change the font size of everything? | 00:34 |
| rannonga | why David? | 00:34 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, In windows you can but not in linux in general. | 00:35 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, I just want to know how to call it. | 00:35 |
| dysinger | Is there an easy way to debootstrap & then apt-get upgrade at the same time? debootstrap by itself results in an outdated distro. | 00:35 |
| rannonga | yeah i think so | 00:35 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: ok and then if i want to put a new distro, ext4 should work for any linux? | 00:35 |
| CheckDavid_ | What else would u call it rannonga ? | 00:35 |
| rannonga | David, youre right | 00:35 |
| === mydogsnameisrudy is now known as monkeyjuice | ||
| CheckDavid_ | OH ok. | 00:36 |
| rannonga | energizer, yeah just mount it as root partition | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, A ext4 yes, however we want to change what you have a bit so you have the correct setup for more partitions and have them in numerical order. So I can tell you now or when it has resized your choice. | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | rannonga, I they put a partiton in the unallocated space they will have sdb4 before the sdb3 swap that is not good. | 00:37 |
| wilee-nilee | If* | 00:38 |
| rannonga | yeah should be in order | 00:38 |
| === FreakingTea is now known as FreakingShower | ||
| wilee-nilee | rannonga, Cool just wanted to be sure we are on the same page. | 00:38 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: finished it. restarted into ubuntu, opened gparted (or is that a mistake) | 00:39 |
| CheckDavid_ | Well, I will attempt once more to install ubuntu on usb drive | 00:39 |
| energizer | i have sdb1 sdb2 unallocated sdb3 | 00:40 |
| CheckDavid_ | This time with 64 bit, and I will format the USB drive, maybe it can do something good? | 00:40 |
| rannonga | check, i'm slightly confused isnt this a vm? | 00:40 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, it's only a VM because all else failed :( | 00:40 |
| rannonga | oh | 00:40 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, That is okay, so what we want to do is remove the swap, and put a extended in all that space, then a logical ext4 and the swap afterward so you are in numerical order. This extended will allow you to load many more logicals if you want to add even more OS. | 00:40 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, You will have to turn the swap off to remove it. | 00:41 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: ok i think im following you. | 00:42 |
| rannonga | i would just reboot into the gparted live cd and do it from there | 00:42 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Cool the extended is a container for the logicals. | 00:42 |
| rannonga | david, whats happening? | 00:42 |
| energizer | ok im gonna reboot into gparted because it seems like fewer steps | 00:43 |
| CheckDavid_ | NOw I am running Universal USB installer rannonga | 00:43 |
| rannonga | David, so youre making a live usb now? | 00:43 |
| CheckDavid_ | Yes rannonga | 00:44 |
| CheckDavid_ | I am feeling kinda desperate =/ | 00:44 |
| rannonga | david, what windows are you running? | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Cool feel free to make images if it is helpful. | 00:44 |
| CheckDavid_ | That's why I went the VM route. | 00:44 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, 7 | 00:44 |
| rannonga | david, so it's probably not a problem with secureboot | 00:44 |
| satellit | can you use ubuntu startup disk creator on ubuntu live CD? | 00:45 |
| wilee-nilee | yes | 00:45 |
| wilee-nilee | for ubuntu iso's | 00:45 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, i have no idea what that means | 00:45 |
| rannonga | just some windows crap from windows 8 | 00:45 |
| CheckDavid_ | This is incredibly frustrating. | 00:46 |
| rannonga | David, you finished burning the image yet? | 00:46 |
| CheckDavid_ | I need to spend so many hours just to know if this will work, and the worsse is that it didn't. | 00:46 |
| CheckDavid_ | It's creating the persistent file, which generally takes quite some time. | 00:46 |
| rannonga | David, k | 00:46 |
| rannonga | David, what happened when you booted into the usb? | 00:47 |
| energizer | http://www.imgur.com/XMNlQf9.jpeg | 00:47 |
| rannonga | energizer, wtf? | 00:47 |
| CheckDavid_ | I am kinda of relying on faith for this to work. Could it be because I didn't format my drive before? =/ | 00:47 |
| CheckDavid_ | Bleh, maybe another failed attempt. | 00:47 |
| rannonga | nah it shouldn't be | 00:47 |
| rannonga | energizer, what was that? | 00:48 |
| energizer | rannonga: oh sorry wrong picture | 00:48 |
| energizer | lol | 00:48 |
| rannonga | lol | 00:48 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, so most probably it won't work again ? | 00:48 |
| rannonga | David, could you actually boot into the usb? | 00:48 |
| Manolillo_ | Do you want to watch Online spanish Tv??? visit: www.refectori.com | 00:48 |
| energizer | when you said wtf i was worried id accidentally uploaded horseporn or something | 00:49 |
| rannonga | lol | 00:49 |
| pepper_chico | fuck, I want to develop in and for an ubuntu edge | 00:49 |
| IdleOne | pepper_chico: no swearing please | 00:49 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: rannonga anyway heres gparted | 00:49 |
| energizer | http://www.imgur.com/152mNbC.jpeg | 00:49 |
| rannonga | so just click on the swap partition and delete it | 00:50 |
| energizer | k | 00:50 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, yes I can, but then it gives me kernel panic, or just gives in a screen saying ubuntu forever | 00:50 |
| rannonga | David, in your bios how are you booting into it? | 00:51 |
| CheckDavid_ | well I chose to boot usb/cd-rom first | 00:51 |
| CheckDavid_ | before anything else | 00:51 |
| CheckDavid_ | yet it still isn't booting from there | 00:52 |
| rannonga | can you boot anything else from usb? | 00:52 |
| CheckDavid_ | So I press escape while booting, and select boot devices, and boot from it. | 00:52 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, not sure, why? Didn't try. | 00:52 |
| pzoned | Would anybody have any guess as to why my computer turns on again after shutting down in ubuntu but not in windows? | 00:52 |
| rannonga | pzone, restart? | 00:53 |
| energizer | now what | 00:53 |
| pzoned | when i shut down it goes off for a second then turns back on | 00:53 |
| CheckDavid_ | rannonga, that's all?= well i will get out then to try and run it | 00:53 |
| rannonga | ok | 00:53 |
| rannonga | energizer now create a new partition from you unallocated | 00:53 |
| rannonga | you should be able to select logical or primary select logical | 00:54 |
| energizer | what sort of "label" is should it have | 00:54 |
| energizer | oh | 00:54 |
| energizer | wait | 00:54 |
| lagreca | Hi folks, is ubuntu 13.04 as stable as 12.04 LTS for general purpose use? | 00:54 |
| wilee-nilee | A primary wont go in a extended | 00:54 |
| rannonga | yeah | 00:54 |
| energizer | rannonga: logical is grayed out | 00:54 |
| wilee-nilee | lagreca, Depends on your definition of stable, everyones is different. | 00:55 |
| energizer | so is extended | 00:55 |
| rannonga | thats weird | 00:55 |
| Aprel | lagreca: I've used both. It's fine. There was an audio issue over HDMI connections when it first came out, but has since been rectified. | 00:55 |
| rannonga | wilee, do you know how to create extended partitions from gparted? | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Did you run the swap delete? | 00:55 |
| energizer | no just queueueueueued it | 00:56 |
| lagreca | Aprel, is the new unity in ubuntu 13.04 better than in 12.04? | 00:56 |
| rannonga | what? | 00:56 |
| energizer | ill run it? | 00:56 |
| rannonga | oh yeah you should do that | 00:56 |
| rannonga | first | 00:56 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, You have to run it then make the extended in all the unallocated then run it, don't stack up things to run. | 00:56 |
| energizer | ok ran it. | 00:56 |
| lagreca | Aprel, I'm having some issues with compiz, chrome and flash videos due to the mesa drivers version in 12.04 | 00:57 |
| energizer | primary is available. logical and extended are both grayed out | 00:57 |
| Axelay | I'm going to say no iagreca. My 13.04 internet keeps cutting out. The signal seems fine, just any connections it has it cuts. | 00:57 |
| lagreca | Aprel, I know that it's ok now with the 13.04, but I'm afraid of LibreOffice 4 | 00:57 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Are you clicking in the unallocated in the picture and extended is grayed out? | 00:58 |
| Aprel | lagreca: Unity is no different to me. There was a lot of press when it came out because it phones home and gives online results, but I've turned that off. | 00:58 |
| energizer | ya | 00:58 |
| rannonga | thats weird | 00:58 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Lets see a picture of that make sure we can see all of the picture. | 00:59 |
| NaStYdoG | does anyone know why after some time I log on ubuntu my /home folder is set to read-only | 00:59 |
| Aprel | lagreca: 13.04 might come with newer, updated video drivers. You can check if they resolve a problem you're having in compiz and flash/. | 01:00 |
| rannonga | pzone, still there? | 01:00 |
| lagreca | Aprel, I'd like to install some packages from the proposed repository... I'm too anxious to wait for the new raring compatibility stack | 01:01 |
| lagreca | Aprel, do you know how I can install just some selected packages from the proposed repository? | 01:01 |
| pzoned | yea | 01:01 |
| rannonga | what release are you on? | 01:02 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: http://www.imgur.com/r9hFUsW.jpeg | 01:02 |
| pzoned | 13.04 | 01:02 |
| pzoned | it started happening when i swapped my motherboard | 01:02 |
| pzoned | tried stock kernel and am on 3.10.1 right now | 01:02 |
| meatmanek | hey, does anybody know the netboot images are built (i.e. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/13.04/ ) | 01:02 |
| rannonga | pzone, are you sure you can got from windows? | 01:02 |
| rannonga | pzone, do it from windows? | 01:03 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Should not be that way reboot to ubuntu and lets try the gparted there. | 01:03 |
| pzoned | yeah, shutdown and restart works regularly in windows | 01:03 |
| rannonga | pzoned, so what exactly happens? | 01:03 |
| Aprel | lagreca: I've never done that, but this ubuntu guide should get you on your way. Just adjust references to precise to ringtail https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed | 01:03 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: i dont really know what ext4 means but it occurs to me that i might be trying to make a second extension to the first fat32 partition, which is illegal. possible? | 01:04 |
| pzoned | the shutdown command turns it off for a second, but then it boots back up again. I tried playing around with my power management settings in my bios but they don't seem to help. | 01:04 |
| curatrix | shutdown -h now | 01:05 |
| rannonga | yeah try that | 01:05 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Is sda a windows 8 setup? | 01:05 |
| wilee-nilee | the sdaHD | 01:06 |
| energizer | no its a media drive (movies etc) | 01:06 |
| energizer | no os on it | 01:06 |
| rannonga | wilee, i'm running a dual boot on windows 8 | 01:06 |
| curatrix | pzoned: it is probably the "wake on lan" function | 01:07 |
| energizer | mounted in /media/something | 01:07 |
| rannonga | energizer, do you have a backup? | 01:07 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, The fat32 is a primary, from the last picture it looks like you have chosen the unallocated and the extended is grayed out. YOU would make a extended then put the ext4 inside it and the swap as well. | 01:07 |
| energizer | rannonga: no | 01:07 |
| rannonga | David, any success? | 01:08 |
| pzoned | yeah, my machine still turns back on after shutdown -h now | 01:09 |
| CheckDavid | Argh, why won't Ubuntu work? =/ It always gets stuck on the logo screen while trying to boot it. Apparently it is a Kernel Panic | 01:09 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: i dont totally understand what you just said | 01:09 |
| CheckDavid | whatever that is or means =/ | 01:09 |
| razzledazzle | unetbootin doesn't seem to be working with a Pentium 3 machine, can it be investigated? | 01:09 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, No prob, which part or all? | 01:09 |
| energizer | all | 01:09 |
| Axelay | Can anyone explain why 13.04 cuts the internet in intervals? The wireless is connected fine, but it doesnt not go to any website. | 01:09 |
| Axelay | Say I'm watching a 1 hour long youtube video | 01:10 |
| Axelay | It stops about every 25mins or so | 01:10 |
| rannonga | razzle, what do you mean, how doesn't it work? | 01:10 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, So you suggest that the extended we want is a second one to the fat32, however the fat 32 is called a primary partition, primaries, extended ans logicals are three different types. | 01:10 |
| razzledazzleII | got disconnected | 01:10 |
| Aprel | Axelay: have you been able to verify it's a problem with ubuntu, not the modem or router? | 01:11 |
| CheckDavid | Any clue? =/ | 01:11 |
| pzoned | Axelay, I have a wifi card in one machine that will cut out regularly | 01:11 |
| Axelay | Yes, it doesnt happen with any other windows systems | 01:11 |
| pzoned | probably just shoddy drivers | 01:11 |
| razzledazzleII | well, on the boot device select, I select my USB drive, nothing happens, PC continues to boot with HD | 01:11 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| rannonga | Check, try using unetbootin | 01:11 |
| Axelay | Including the one I'm typing off now. | 01:11 |
| energizer | wilee-nilee: and you're saying the sdb2 ext4 is also a primary? | 01:11 |
| curatrix | pzoned: Look for "wake on lan" in the bios. It could be the cmos has an error so it might even be worth "reset to default" in the bios as well (just for the sake of it) | 01:11 |
| CheckDavid | rannonga, I did twice lol | 01:11 |
| Axelay | The thing is the netbook is dualbooted with windows and ubuntu. only happens with ubuntu | 01:12 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, That make sense, I know it can be confusing. I have seen gparted cough on occasion, so that is why I suggest using ubuntu's or at least a reboot of that one. | 01:12 |
| razzledazzleII | is my chat visible? :\ | 01:12 |
| rannonga | that sounds bad | 01:12 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Yes sdb2 is a primary as well. | 01:12 |
| rannonga | razzle, i can't see you | 01:12 |
| rannonga | razzle, what do you mean by disconnected? | 01:12 |
| pzoned | curatrix, yeah i've updated and reset my bios twice now, but i'll try disable WoL. Though unfortunately i do use it on occasion. | 01:12 |
| Axelay | I'm the only ubuntu system that connects to the router, and is the only one that it occurs to | 01:12 |
| rannonga | i would suggest to download the file seperately from creating a live usb | 01:12 |

| CheckDavid | I tried twice with unetbootin, then I was told to use Universal USB installer, none worked. I get stuck with kernel panic messages that I only see because I press ctrl alt f1 rannonga | 01:13 |
| razzledazzleII | no I mean, my other nick got disconnected | 01:13 |
| wilee-nilee | razzledazzleII, If you see it we do. | 01:13 |
| CheckDavid | rannonga, what do you mean by download file seperately? | 01:13 |

| Ben64 | CheckDavid: what are you trying to do | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Hold on let me reboot from W8 to 13.04, I think you are just not doing something correct, I can look at goarted from there. | 01:14 |
| CheckDavid | Ben64 run Ubuntu, as simple as that. | 01:15 |
| Ben64 | CheckDavid: how | 01:15 |
| CheckDavid | Ben64 No idea, tried many thigns none worked, nwo I don't know what to do. | 01:15 |
| CheckDavid | So, I am doing nothing =/ | 01:15 |
| razzledazzle | my Ubuntu had got stuck on splash once, it happened I messed around while installing fglrx driver | 01:15 |

| energizer1 | welcome back | 01:17 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, how are you trying to boot it? | 01:17 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, I'm back | 01:17 |
| Ben64 | you need to explain how you want to "run ubuntu" | 01:17 |
| energizer1 | im now back in ubuntu as well (from gparted) | 01:17 |

| luwho | installing ubuntu server 12.04lts for first time. I blanked on installing extras like securessh and wamp. Will I be able to download all of them at once when installation is complete or will I have to download each one individually? | 01:17 |
| curatrix | CheckDavid: Have you got a flash drive with a live image? | 01:17 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, I already said I am not trying in any way now, I tried a bunc of ways already today none worked, wanna know about all, or just the last one? | 01:17 |
| CheckDavid | curatrix, yes I do. | 01:18 |
| curatrix | What happens when you run it? | 01:18 |
| razzledazzle | what kind of config are you using? what's your system spec? | 01:18 |
| CheckDavid | Kernel Panic curatrix | 01:18 |
| razzledazzle | he said it gets stuck in splash | 01:18 |
| Axelay | Can I reiterate my internet problem. Only ubuntu 13.04 does this: It cuts the internet at random periods. Give it about a minute and it works again | 01:18 |
| curatrix | CheckDavid: 32 or 64 bit? | 01:18 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, I see what is up now in the create as in the new set it as extended. | 01:18 |
| CheckDavid | curatrix, I am 64 | 01:18 |
| pzoned | curatrix yeah, turning off WoL solves the issue. Is there any other workaround you know of that would let me keep WoL enabled? | 01:18 |
| Axelay | Give it half a hour and it stops working again | 01:18 |
| Ben64 | if the usb isn't working, its probably a bad image or a bad copy to usb | 01:19 |
| Axelay | This is worst when I'm watching a video over 1 hour | 01:19 |
| energizer1 | wilee-nilee: sorry? | 01:19 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, YOu were trying to build with the line below file type | 01:19 |
| CheckDavid | I tried Wubi. then I tried 32 bit with Unetbootin, then I tried 32 bit with Universal USB isntaller, then I tried 64 bit with USB installer, then I tried Vbox. All have problems. | 01:19 |
| luwho | installing ubuntu server 12.04lts for first time. I blanked on installing extras like securessh and wamp. Will I be able to download all of them at once when installation is complete or will I have to download each one individually? | 01:19 |
| razzledazzle | even Vbox? | 01:19 |
| energizer1 | so how to do it properly? | 01:20 |
| Ben64 | sounds like user error or bad disc image | 01:20 |
| curatrix | pzoned: You could get a cheap switch to install next to the PC......turn it off prior to the PC and it will act like a buffer | 01:20 |
| razzledazzle | maybe try another distro or something CheckDavid | 01:20 |
| napsc | Axelay: look in your syslog to get an idea of why it's disconnecting... does it do it hardwired? | 01:20 |
| CheckDavid | Yeah, vbox would just load TTY, and then when I tried some command that was given to me, it would stop accepting any further commands. Sort of crash. | 01:20 |
| pzoned | CheckDavid , I generally have had good luck with LiLi http://www.linuxliveusb.com/ | 01:20 |
| curatrix | pzoned: switch = router | 01:20 |
| pzoned | curatrix, hmm... thanks for your help! | 01:20 |
| CheckDavid | It's so hard to judge between all the suggeestions =/ | 01:20 |
| Axelay | napsc: nah it does it when wireless | 01:20 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, http://imagebin.org/265446 | 01:20 |
| Axelay | And is the only wireless device to do it | 01:21 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, YOu want it as it shows there | 01:21 |
| Aprel | luwho: afaik there's no single-package install in ubuntu, but you could probabl find a list of all the packages the cd installs and just sudo apt-get install `the list` | 01:21 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Create as not file tyoe. | 01:21 |
| Axelay | Tbh it has started when I upgraded to 13.04 | 01:21 |
| luwho | Aprel: Ya thats probably what ill do, thank you | 01:21 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, if you have a good internet connect, its not much of a deal, you could try another distro | 01:21 |

| Aprel | luwho: np | 01:21 |
| curatrix | afk | 01:21 |
| CheckDavid | It takes so much time to boot stuff up that don't load =/ | 01:22 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, go for Linux Mint, just to test | 01:22 |
| energizer1 | i dont know how to get it like that | 01:22 |
| CheckDavid | I already tried 2 USB iso installers. | 01:22 |
| Axelay | napsc What command do I do to get that? | 01:22 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, maybe I should do that. | 01:22 |
| razzledazzle | yes CheckDavid, give it a go. Its Ubuntu based, AFAIK. | 01:23 |
| Ben64 | not supported here | 01:23 |

| rannonga | energizer, what doesn't? | 01:24 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, Show me a picture again of what you are doing I lost what you had, did you look at mine? | 01:24 |

| energizer1 | wilee-nilee: http://imgur.com/2Sp1Odi | 01:26 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, so trying ubuntu 13 is not a good bet either? Because I already started downloading. | 01:26 |
| energizer1 | the logical and extended are still grayed out (ubuntu apparently wont take a screenshot when theres a drop-down open) | 01:26 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, if its already half way, try it. It works better on my netbook than 12. | 01:26 |
| sandprickle | I changed my password, forgot it, changed it back via. Root shell prompt, but am I still screwed if I use ecryptfs? | 01:26 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, The top line where it says primary should be extended the file type is not even relevent at this stage. | 01:27 |
| Aprel | rickb__: click on the speaker in the upper right corner of ubuntu. Click 'Sound Settings...', look for other options in 'play sound through' particularly hdmi | 01:27 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, linuxmint site not loading for me. :| | 01:27 |
| EatAtJoes | If I donate $20 to ubuntu edge, what do I actually get in return ? | 01:27 |
| CheckDavid | Aw | 01:27 |
| CheckDavid | I will be honest. I just need a console instance. | 01:27 |
| energizer1 | wilee-nilee: when i click on the drop-down to change from primary to extended, extended is grayed out | 01:27 |
| caaakeeey | basic question, but im running from a usb, where can i find my hard drive? | 01:28 |
| razzledazzle | EatAtJoes, you expect to get something by "donating"? | 01:28 |
| CheckDavid | But I would like to switch to linux too. But the console isntance is what I really need. And I will stay up tonight till if I get it if I need to. | 01:28 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, IN the top line where it says create as extended is grayed out? | 01:29 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, then you could try many distros out there, there's CrunchBang, or even lighter versions might download fast like Puppy Linux | 01:29 |

| razzledazzle | EatAtJoes, no idea XD I only know when you donate, you don't ask for anything in return | 01:31 |
| meatmanek | I asked this a few minutes ago but nobody answered; trying again in the hopes that someone new knows the answer | 01:31 |
| meatmanek | does anybody know the netboot images are built (i.e. http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/netboot/13.04/ ) | 01:32 |
| razzledazzle | EatAtJoes, that would be awesome. | 01:32 |
| Axelay | So does anyone have any idea why my ubuntu keeps cutting the internet at random intervals. It only happens on this ubuntu computer. All over 4 windows devices work fine. | 01:32 |
| EatAtJoes | razzledazzle, sorry. I really didn't know it was a donation when I first asked. | 01:32 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, OKay now I'm seeing efi in sdb1 a efi does not use extended partitions just put the ext4 in and your swap, and when you install the linux you will point the install to that ext4 | 01:32 |
| razzledazzle | EatAtJoes, I approached you without any idea myself, just considered what donation meant to me. | 01:32 |
| hewhomust | meat, why do you specifically want to do a netboot install? | 01:33 |
| meatmanek | we install our servers using netboot | 01:33 |
| hewhomust | oh | 01:33 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, I asked about W8 moriginally due to uefi a gpt partitioning set up I wondered about that. | 01:33 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, so the official linuxmint is not online you say? | 01:34 |
| energizer1 | ok so what do i do wilee-nilee | 01:34 |
| meatmanek | we're actually using 10.04 (upgrading to something newer is on the horizon but not in short-term plans), and the 10.04 netboot image has an old kernel and kernel modules which don't support aacraid 7xxx series cards | 01:35 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, This an apple computer, or did you use a efi on purpose, I'm not really familiar with efi and gpt, and it looks funky there to me altogether. | 01:35 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, not loading for me, have you tried? http://www.linuxmint.com/ | 01:35 |
| CheckDavid | Yes it loads for me | 01:35 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, i was advised to go for linuxmint MATE | 01:36 |
| CheckDavid | What do you say razzledazzle ? | 01:36 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, I'm curious about sdb1 being labeled as /boot/efi | 01:36 |
| razzledazzle | that's good then. | 01:36 |
| meatmanek | I've figured out how to extract the netboot image (it's just an initrd) and rebuild it, but it seems like it may be more than just a matter of replacing the kernel and modules | 01:36 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, I think MATE is a desktop environment, you're doing this for the console so I don't think it would matter much, its decent anyway. | 01:36 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, no, I also want linux | 01:37 |
| energizer1 | wilee-nilee: not apple, newegg hardware; installed ubuntu with the gui as recommended | 01:37 |

| wilee-nilee | Morph4me, If you know what is up here go for it I have not messed eith uefi and gpt, seems like just a ext4 and swap is needed. | 01:44 |
| Guest24339 | Linux n00b here....having issues with restarting my comp, it says I'm not authorized to shut my comp down...??? | 01:44 |
| hewhomust | guest, try running sudo reboot from terminal | 01:45 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, Excellent choice, I think Morph4me may be better at this part. | 01:45 |
| curatrix | Guest24339: sudo shutdown -r now | 01:45 |
| hewhomust | he wants to restart | 01:45 |
| curatrix | hewhomust: Yes thats right the -r switch sets it to restart | 01:45 |
| Guest24339 | Yeah, I did a bunch of updates, and it won't let me restart | 01:45 |
| curatrix | Guest24339: sudo shutdown -r now | 01:45 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, We just want to be sure arch is set to install in your setup, probably is. | 01:46 |
| Morph4me | well all i,m saying wilee is that he can leave it as is "primary" no need for extended because his uefi bios is using gpt rules not mbr | 01:46 |
| matrixa1 | http://igg.me/at/ubuntuedge/x/4082556 this needs to happen | 01:46 |
| Guest24339 | Sorry....how do I do -r? | 01:46 |
| hewhomust | lol | 01:46 |
| energizer1 | wilee-nilee: alright. is there any reason i shouldnt just make another primary and another linux-swap ? | 01:46 |
| hewhomust | type -r | 01:46 |
| wilee-nilee | Morph4me, Yeah I figured that I just want to be sure is all, thanks. | 01:47 |
| Morph4me | otherwise plz do carry on with him i must check out everything else is A OK | 01:47 |
| razzledazzle | Guest24339, are you able to access the terminal? | 01:47 |
| Guest24339 | oh, on the command line? LOL (yes, very n00b) | 01:47 |
| Morph4me | yw good night | 01:47 |
| razzledazzle | Guest24339, yep ;D | 01:47 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, No that is what to do, sorry for any confusion, it just took us awhile to get to this being the setup it is. | 01:47 |
| curatrix | Guest24339: You can paste into the terminal with ctrl + shft + v | 01:47 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, never mind, you have to read the website to understand lol | 01:47 |
| hewhomust | energ, the only problem is that you're limited to 4 primarys on mbr | 01:48 |
| hewhomust | which doesnt apply to you | 01:48 |
| energizer1 | so im confused myself. why do i have all these partitions? | 01:48 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, lol okay | 01:48 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, That fat32 was a redflag I saw but did not ask about it I missed any /boot/efi if it was showing in the live gparted, I don't think it was. | 01:48 |
| energizer1 | what's the point of it? do i need it? | 01:49 |
| scott__ | So, I just tried the -r thing, and it said "Command not found" | 01:49 |
| hewhomust | try sudo reboot quickly | 01:49 |
| curatrix | scott__: sudo shutdown -r now | 01:50 |
| curatrix | enter your password for admin and it should reboot | 01:50 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, Not sure, but if you look at morph4me's set up which is basically what you have he has one. | 01:50 |
| scott__ | I type in "sudo shutdown"? | 01:50 |
| === richard is now known as Guest62020 | ||
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, I believe it is needed, I'm just not up on that stuff. | 01:50 |
| energizer1 | morph4me is gone... | 01:50 |
| scott__ | "sudo reboot" I mean | 01:51 |
| energizer1 | :( | 01:51 |
| matrixa1 | scott__, except that turns off the computer | 01:51 |
| matrixa1 | yes, sudo reboot | 01:51 |
| scott__ | k....brb | 01:51 |
| hewhomust | energizer, just try creating primary partition for swap and root | 01:51 |
| hewhomust | then try mount them in the arch install | 01:52 |
| crankygeek | hello room | 01:52 |
| hewhomust | hello greek | 01:52 |
| roobis | when does a drive require mounting? | 01:52 |
| === duncan is now known as Guest37307 | ||
| roobis | my flash drive appears without mount command | 01:53 |
| matrixa1 | roobis, automount is run upon insertion | 01:53 |
| hewhomust | roobis, if you can access your flash drive dont do anything | 01:53 |
| scott__ | sudo reboot worked....thx for the assist everyone | 01:53 |
| hewhomust | np lol how are you still here? | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, So really do nothing and go to #archlinux and let them see the last image and know that you have a uefi set up and they can best help you install. | 01:54 |
| roobis | so mount is only used if the drive isnt' auto detected? | 01:54 |
| hewhomust | yeah | 01:54 |
| matrixa1 | roobis, but if you have several drives like me, then you might have to mount them separately to view the contents | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, WE got you to the install stage, they will know whats up in your setup for success. ;) | 01:54 |
| roobis | ok, so plugging a second usb would require mount | 01:54 |
| scott__ | Guess I'm just quick like that...LOL | 01:54 |
| matrixa1 | roobis, no, usb peripherals are automounted | 01:55 |
| hewhomust | no probably not | 01:55 |
| hewhomust | just if you have another partition you might have to mount it | 01:55 |
| matrixa1 | roobis, stationary harddrives eg. windows partitions are not automounted | 01:55 |
| hewhomust | say on another os | 01:55 |
| energizer1 | wilee-nilee: at the moment i dont have a swap partition. should i make an arch partition and then a swap partition before going over there? | 01:55 |
| hewhomust | yeah you should makes it easier | 01:55 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, I wouldn't building partitions are part of the install in arch. | 01:56 |
| hewhomust | i've done it and made a swap partition seperately | 01:56 |
| hewhomust | beforehand | 01:56 |
| energizer1 | (but my ubuntu doesnt have access to a swap paritition. isnt that shitty?) | 01:56 |
| CheckDavid | lol my linuxmint download just stopped =/ | 01:57 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer1, You only need one swap arch will build it. | 01:57 |
| hewhomust | not really just mount it as a swap for both distros | 01:57 |
| hewhomust | sorry not mount it | 01:57 |
| hewhomust | but yeah it should work for both | 01:58 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, Heh, and if you thought this was confusing a arch install will really be a challenge, it is a bit easier now, but it has its pitfalls. | 01:58 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, I was downloading linuxmint, and apparently it stopped as if it was completed, I got a normal iso in the end, only very small, like 40 Mbs | 01:59 |
| === ms|dinnertime is now known as mikestewart | ||
| energizer1 | ok so if i go into the arch people, they'll help me produce a partition for arch and another for swap (which will be applicable to both arch and ubuntu). how do i make ubuntu access the swap partition that i make over there | 01:59 |
| razzledazzle | CheckDavid, that's invalid. It has to be around 700 megs | 01:59 |
| CheckDavid | razzledazzle, it's actually 1 GB =/ | 01:59 |
| Jeeves_Moss | is anoyne in here any good with Nagios? I'm having some config issues | 01:59 |
| hewhomust | energizer, a swap partition is not mounted if you create it it should work for both | 01:59 |
| razzledazzle | lol | 01:59 |
| razzledazzle | maybe torrent it | 02:00 |
| PRabyte | sad news i just saw | 02:00 |
| PRabyte | sure you are all aware of it | 02:00 |
| PRabyte | while trying to get some help from forums.... well you know the rest | 02:00 |
| Jeeves_Moss | razzledazzle, and ideas on this Nagios issue? | 02:01 |
| PRabyte | so did anyone claim responsibility yet ? | 02:01 |
| razzledazzle | oops,its 928 MB | 02:02 |
| wilee-nilee | energizer, The arch guys should get you going fine, The only reason I build partitions ahead of time instead of in a install is when I install windows and don't want a boot partition, and I manually install to that made NTFS. | 02:02 |
| cfhowlett | PRabyte, yes ... it's old news now. But if you wish to continue this thread, please move it to #ubuntu-offtopic. Thanks. | 02:02 |
| PRabyte | anyone know how to create an xfs on linux. so i can grab this data off my attached usb ide drive?? | 02:02 |
| PRabyte | :| | 02:03 |
| PRabyte | no thanks cfhowlett ill pass | 02:03 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: use gparted. | 02:03 |
| razzledazzle | Jeeves_Moss, seeing it for the first time o.o sorry | 02:03 |
| cfhowlett | !gparted|PRabyte, | 02:03 |
| ubottu | PRabyte,: 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 | 02:03 |
| Phosphate_ | I've got a 12.10 server that I had to replace the motherboard on. It won't see the new built in NIC (Atheros AR 8161). The nic shows up on lspci -vv and if I boot a clean install on a USB drive the nic works fine. I've deleted /etc/udev/rules.d70-persistent-net.rules but a reboot did not generate a new one. I then copied the rules file from the clean boot to the original instance and it still | 02:04 |
| Jeeves_Moss | razzledazzle, no worries. I'm using nConf to try to reduce the admin load, but I can't get the syntax on the args for it | 02:04 |
| Phosphate_ | doesnt show up in ifconfig. Any ideas? | 02:04 |
| PRabyte | thanks, duh, i forgot, but i was thinking of cmdline utils like xfutils or something along those lines | 02:04 |
| syn-ack | Phosphate_: modprobe the driver | 02:04 |
| syn-ack | ar something or another | 02:04 |
| razzledazzle | Jeeves_Moss, sounds intriguing! I hope you find your solution soon. | 02:05 |
| Phosphate_ | syn-ack: Thanks will check it. | 02:05 |
| syn-ack | Phosphate_: I forget the module's name. you'll be able to find it via ar8161 linux module online | 02:05 |
| PRabyte | cfhowlett: yah, just what i thought, didn't see the drive. | 02:07 |
| PRabyte | gparted i mean | 02:07 |
| PRabyte | shrugs | 02:07 |
| Phosphate_ | syn-ack ath9k maybe? | 02:07 |
| PRabyte | anyone know how to create an xfs on linux. so i can grab this data off my attached usb ide drive?? | 02:07 |
| syn-ack | Phosphate_: Sounds about right. Try it. if it doesn't work, the kernel will tell ya. | 02:07 |
| PRabyte | think ill try #linux | 02:08 |
| PRabyte | gparted doesnt see it | 02:08 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: I told you how. | 02:08 |
| PRabyte | opps | 02:08 |
| PRabyte | sorry syn-ack ill look up | 02:08 |
| PRabyte | syn-ack: i answered | 02:09 |
| syn-ack | did you install xfstools? | 02:09 |
| energizer1 | thanks for everythingwilee-nilee | 02:09 |
| PRabyte | not yet | 02:09 |
| PRabyte | brb | 02:09 |
| syn-ack | it may not be installed, PRabyte. | 02:09 |
| PRabyte | i thought i t was called xfsutils lol | 02:09 |
| syn-ack | Samething | 02:10 |
| syn-ack | I think | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | i dont have that in my repo syn-ack | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | xfstoos | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | xfstools | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | anyone know how to create an xfs on linux. so i can grab this data off my attached usb ide drive?? | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | sudo apt-get install xfs | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | xfs xfslibs-dev xfstt | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | xfsdump xfsprogs xfswitch-plugin | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | thats all i have | 02:10 |
| syn-ack | last I remember, it was that. haven't created an XFS partition in years | 02:10 |
| syn-ack | xfsprogs is it | 02:10 |
| PRabyte | i do often in freebsd, but this is linux laptop | 02:11 |
| PRabyte | oh ok | 02:11 |
| PRabyte | thanks | 02:11 |
| histo | !find xfs | PRabyte | 02:11 |
| ubottu | PRabyte: Found: x11-xfs-utils, xfsdump, xfslibs-dev, xfsprogs, obexfs | 02:11 |
| PRabyte | think i need a reboot after installing xfsprogs, lsusb isnt showing the attached drive | 02:12 |
| histo | PRabyte: the drive showing in lsusb has nothing to do with xfsprogs | 02:12 |
| PRabyte | histo: thats nice, thanks | 02:12 |
| PRabyte | so, think i need a reboot, for xfsprogs to work and see this drive? | 02:12 |
| histo | PRabyte: try looking at the output of dmesg after you plug the drive in | 02:12 |
| PRabyte | ah. thanks | 02:12 |
| PRabyte | brb | 02:12 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: you shouldn't need to reboot for anything | 02:12 |
| PRabyte | sorry been working on hpux for a few months a work, has me off gaurd | 02:13 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: remember, a Good UNIX admin should make a great linux admin, but usually not the other way around. | 02:15 |
| PRabyte | whatever makes you look good syn-ack | 02:15 |
| syn-ack | I never claimed to be a good UNIX admin. | 02:15 |
| syn-ack | :D | 02:15 |
| napsc | Jeeves_Moss: did you try #nagios | 02:16 |
| roobis | how big does a company have to be to need an admin? | 02:16 |
| PRabyte | i guess i should also mention i havent looked much at a terminal other than powerterm on a doze box. cant have my linux laptop connected to the network yet | 02:16 |
| syn-ack | roobis: All it takes is one computer. | 02:16 |
| PRabyte | no tab completion is crazy | 02:16 |
| roobis | syn-ack, ha, a one pc admin? | 02:17 |
| syn-ack | yep | 02:17 |
| sam113101 | guys | 02:18 |
| napsc | nah, 1 employee & 2 computers... | 02:18 |
| sam113101 | I need help | 02:18 |
| cfhowlett | !details|sam | 02:19 |
| ubottu | sam: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 02:19 |
| PRabyte | if anyone cares to take a peek paste.ubuntu.com/5906141/ | 02:19 |
| sam113101 | the font used by gtk 2 is not the same as the font used by gtk 3 | 02:19 |
| curatrix | sam113101: You can change it if you like | 02:19 |
| sam113101 | curatrix: how? | 02:20 |
| histo | PRabyte: so sdb is your usb drive I take it and sdb1 is the partition? | 02:20 |
| PRabyte | sounds right | 02:20 |
| PRabyte | its from freebsd server | 02:20 |
| syn-ack | Wait | 02:20 |
| PRabyte | so xfsprogs,,, | 02:20 |
| PRabyte | oh ok | 02:21 |
| syn-ack | You're running XFS on FreeBSD? | 02:21 |
| PRabyte | waits... | 02:21 |
| syn-ack | surely you mean ZFS.... | 02:21 |
| PRabyte | it was yes, this is an adapter ide cable to drive to usb to laptop, linux | 02:21 |
| PRabyte | nope | 02:21 |
| PRabyte | xfs | 02:21 |
| PRabyte | havent decided to migrate to zfs yet | 02:21 |
| histo | PRabyte: is this a 2TB external? | 02:22 |
| syn-ack | ok well, install xfsprogs and use gparted to create an XFS parition, copy info, profit. | 02:22 |
| Awaken | not UFS then, the standard freebsd filesystem ? | 02:22 |
| PRabyte | that the other drive, that works fine | 02:22 |
| syn-ack | Awaken: yeah, something seems.... odd | 02:22 |
| PRabyte | like i said, tis not seeing drive, neither is gparted | 02:22 |
| PRabyte | so... lets talk about xfsprogs | 02:22 |
| syn-ack | ok | 02:24 |
| syn-ack | it's not seeing the block device at all? | 02:24 |
| syn-ack | Can you pull it up in lspci? | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | scratch balls, i think i said that before didnt i? | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | nope | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | notta | 02:24 |
| histo | PRabyte: unplug the drive then.. sudo dmesg -C to clear the log then plug the drive in and pastebin the output of dmesg | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | like a said | 02:24 |
| FloodBot1 | PRabyte: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | ah ok. thanks ill try that | 02:24 |
| syn-ack | what histo said | 02:24 |
| varunendra | PRabyte, do you see the drive in BIOS? | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | nothing when i removed usb cable in dmesg | 02:24 |
| syn-ack | or even tail -f /var/log/syslog | 02:24 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: Try a different cable, then | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | same when plugged in | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | ill recheck the cables | 02:24 |
| PRabyte | sb | 02:24 |
| sam113101 | the font used by gtk 2 is not the same as the font used by gtk 3 | 02:24 |
| histo | PRabyte: remove drive; sudo dmesg -C ; plug in drive; pastebinit dmesg | 02:25 |
| === t_kjaergaard_ is now known as t_kjaergaard | ||
| histo | sam113101: check your appearence options | 02:25 |
| varunendra | PRabyte, any connected drive has to be recognised by the BIOS first. If it's not appearing there, it's a hardware issue. | 02:25 |
| sam113101 | histo: there's nothing font-related there | 02:25 |
| histo | sam113101: sorry theme options | 02:26 |
| histo | varunendra: it's a usb drive don't confuse him at this point | 02:26 |
| sam113101 | histo: where's that? | 02:26 |
| syn-ack | was just about to tell him that, histo. Thanks. | 02:28 |
| syn-ack | varunendra: that is why I told him to change cables, though | 02:28 |
| PRabyte | cables good, still no dmesg | 02:28 |
| varunendra | histo, okay. But you know that's right. | 02:28 |
| PRabyte | drive is spinning | 02:28 |
| syn-ack | I thought he was just having issuse not seeing the file system, not the entire block device. | 02:29 |
| histo | PRabyte: did you plug the drive back in after clearing dmesg? | 02:29 |
| PRabyte | no loud noticed or skips coming from ide drive | 02:29 |
| PRabyte | histo: no dmesg about it | 02:29 |
| PRabyte | like i said | 02:29 |
| histo | PRabyte: did you plug the drive back in after clearing dmesg? | 02:29 |
| histo | PRabyte: you have to cycle the plug or there will be no output in dmesg | 02:29 |
| zudge | guys | 02:30 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: unplug the drive, from the console, do this tail -f /var/log/syslog and then plug the drive in. | 02:30 |
| PRabyte | histo: do you know how to use xfsprogs or mkfs.xfs | 02:30 |
| zudge | i copied my home folder to /storage | 02:30 |
| PRabyte | y/n | 02:30 |
| zudge | fstab | 02:30 |
| zudge | /storage/zudge /home/zudge ext4 defaults,bind 0 0 | 02:30 |
| syn-ack | it's the same thing histo wants, but only different | 02:30 |
| histo | PRabyte: yes if we could reliably determine what dev it is but without you following basic instructions that's rather difficult | 02:30 |
| zudge | its not mounting correctly | 02:31 |
| syn-ack | zudge: because your fstab isn't right | 02:31 |
| histo | zudge: what is /storage another mounted device? | 02:31 |
| zudge | histo: yes its another parition. it is mounted correctly. | 02:31 |
| syn-ack | ah | 02:31 |
| PRabyte | kinda wondered why syn-ack suggested i use dmesg... | 02:32 |
| zudge | i'm also mounting the home folder after | 02:32 |
| PRabyte | im in syslog | 02:32 |
| PRabyte | brb | 02:32 |
| histo | zudge: is storage mounted previous to that bind mount? | 02:32 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: because it's the same thing, perhaps? | 02:32 |
| zudge | any suggestions for my fstab? i've done this before. no idea why its not working | 02:33 |
| alumno_ | hi | 02:33 |
| PRabyte | nothing in tail -f syslog | 02:33 |
| === alumno_ is now known as alejusss | ||
| syn-ack | ugh | 02:33 |
| syn-ack | nm, PRabyte | 02:33 |
| histo | PRabyte: then your computer is not seeing the drive | 02:33 |
| PRabyte | histo: do you know how to use xfsprogs or mkfs.xfs | 02:33 |
| histo | PRabyte: yes | 02:33 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: you're not going to be using either of those if you can't see the block device. | 02:34 |
| syn-ack | PRabyte: Figure out WHY your computer isn't seeing it. That's the first half of the battle. | 02:34 |
| usr13 | zudge: /storage/zudge is device name? | 02:34 |
| syn-ack | usr13: yeah, because it's a mounted device he's binding. | 02:35 |
| histo | usr13: he's trying to bind mount | 02:35 |
| zudge | usr13: its a copy of my home folder | 02:35 |
| PRabyte | tried mucking with jumpers, still nothing in dmesg or syslog | 02:35 |
| syn-ack | that's what threw me off at first too | 02:35 |
| PRabyte | mkfs.xfs | 02:35 |
| usr13 | zudge: So why not just a symlink? | 02:35 |
| zudge | usr13: i booted to terminal mode and used 'sudo cp -a /home/zudge /storage/zudge' | 02:35 |
| PRabyte | dmesg | 02:35 |
| PRabyte | [ 4635.264407] i2c i2c-5: sendbytes: NAK bailout. | 02:35 |
| zudge | usr13: if you could help me set that up i'm fine with using it, but ive just used this method in the past | 02:36 |
| syn-ack | usr13: that's a pretty good idea. Heck of a lot easier to do than binding | 02:36 |
| PRabyte | honestly, i think had you guys know you would have just said, but as usual, its not the case, nevermind i will figure it out. i was feeling lazy... l8 | 02:36 |
| histo | pr0gu1ka: it's very simple mkfs.xfs /dev/or/your/stupid/usb that you don't know | 02:36 |
| syn-ack | histo: he's gone | 02:37 |
| histo | ahh well | 02:37 |
| syn-ack | No love lost, imo | 02:37 |
| histo | I'll tell him in the other channel he's been pestering people | 02:37 |
| histo | ahh well left there as well. | 02:37 |
| syn-ack | Some people. ignorant AND ungrateful. sigh | 02:37 |
| syn-ack | I hate saying that, too | 02:37 |
| usr13 | zudge: ln -s /storage/zudge /home/zudge | 02:37 |
| histo | zudge: So what is happening it's not mounted or your user doesn't have access to it? | 02:37 |
| syn-ack | usr13: heck, he could also use the inode and hardlink, as well | 02:38 |
| zudge | histo: it just mounts the home folder still located in /home/zudge. i copied it instead of moving it | 02:38 |
| syn-ack | hard link would be a little bit better of a choice in this case, I think | 02:38 |
| histo | zudge: pastebin the output of mount after boot | 02:38 |
| usr13 | zudge: But wait. Is /home/zudge your home directory? | 02:39 |
| zudge | i just realized i can't use symlink because i need the home folder on the other storage device for space | 02:39 |
| histo | wut? | 02:39 |
| syn-ack | who knows. | 02:39 |
| zudge | histo: it boots fine, just from the actual /home/zudge instead of mounting /storage/zudge over /home/zudge | 02:39 |
| usr13 | zudge: I'm not sure what your goal is. Can you tell me? | 02:39 |
| zudge | usr13: mount my home folder from an second storage device mounted to /storage | 02:40 |
| syn-ack | it's not like you'd actually be storing anything on a symlinked source any way | 02:40 |
| histo | usr13: he wants his home bind mounted from a different drive | 02:40 |
| zudge | usr13: my home folder has been copied to /storage/zudge | 02:40 |
| syn-ack | I would just forgo the bind mount and mount directly to the other device | 02:40 |
| histo | zudge: How are you determining that it's not working? | 02:40 |
| syn-ack | or if its over the network, just use NFS or SAMBA | 02:41 |
| zudge | histo: i created a folder in /storage/zudge and rebooted. it didn't reflect the added folder in ~ after the reboot | 02:41 |
| histo | zudge: For the love of god pastebin the output of mount | 02:41 |
| * histo Takes a deep breath | 02:41 | |
| usr13 | zudge: Oh, well. I don't know. That is a bit of a weird way to do it. Why did you copy your personal files to /storage/zudge? And where is /storage/zudge? (On the same partition? or_____?) | 02:41 |
| usr13 | zudge: mount | pastebinit #And send us the resulting URL | 02:42 |
| histo | he's gone | 02:43 |
| * litropy shrugs | 02:43 | |
| histo | I sense i'm going to get kicked/banned tonight when I rage | 02:43 |
| usr13 | histo: Oh. Well too bad. Was an interesting issue. | 02:43 |
| usr13 | histo: Why? What is it? | 02:43 |
| histo | usr13: most likely it was mounted properly but he just expected to be in /storage/zudge instead of /home/zudge when he went to term | 02:43 |
| usr13 | Yea, I guess that's possible. | 02:44 |
| histo | Another option would be to just change his users home to /storage/zudge instead of /home/$USER | 02:45 |
| pzn | does ubuntuforuns use the same credentials as launchpad or one.ubuntu? should I change my passwords at launchpad or one.ubuntu? | 02:46 |
| histo | usermod -m -d /storage/zudge zudge would have worked wonders | 02:46 |
| histo | pzn: read the page on ubuntuforums.org | 02:46 |
| histo | pzn: The bold words may be of help | 02:47 |
| usr13 | histo: But if /storage/audge was another drive, I think I'd have done just a standard fastab entry with a bilkid for it. One thing that needs to be done first though is rename one of them. Because if it's the /home/zudge the mountpoint for the real one will be somewhat of a conflict. So he would have needed to rename /home/zudge (like /home/old-zudge), before mounting the new one. Right? | 02:48 |
| usr13 | *zudge not audge | 02:48 |
| DuncanNZ | sorry wrong channel | 02:48 |
| DuncanNZ | sorry not wrong channel | 02:48 |
| DuncanNZ | lol | 02:48 |
| histo | usr13: no if you mount on top of a directory the underlying one is no longer accesible | 02:48 |
| usr13 | Oh? | 02:49 |
| pzn | histo, sorry, I had read that previously, and since I never used ubuntu forums, I don't know exactly. the page says ubuntu one was not affected by the breach. however I don't know if forums and ubuntu one use the same credentials (for example by LDAP). | 02:49 |
| usr13 | histo: Then how would you delete the duplicate files? Because you'd want to do delete them at some point, right? | 02:49 |
| histo | usr13: you'd have to delete them before the mount. | 02:50 |
| usr13 | histo: Yea, that's what I mean. | 02:50 |
| histo | pzn: different creds | 02:50 |

| tree1 | hi friends i recentle compiled my kernel with latest version of kernel but as i reeboted the system i find error like it says running in low graphics and then does not proceed can any one help plse | 02:52 |

| Sengoku | no english hindi translators.. | 02:53 |
| tree1 | well i hab intel hd3000 kernel | 02:53 |
| usr13 | histo: But if you mv /home/zudge /home/old.zudge that would solve the problem, (you can rm -rf /home/old.zudge afterward, after you are sure your files are all there and mounted/accessable) | 02:53 |
| syn-ack | usr13 I completely forgot about having to do that | 02:54 |
| tree1 | and i compiled kernel coz i could not find linux/module header file in my generic version of kernel | 02:54 |
| varunendra | Sengoku, probably if you can explain your objective in detail, maybe someone here can direct you to the correct place :) | 02:54 |
| histo | usr13: yeap unless you use usermod above that will move the users files if you use the -m with -d | 02:54 |
| syn-ack | usr13: I think you're spot on | 02:54 |
| Sengoku | varunendra: someone messaged something , don't know what it means | 02:55 |

| pzn | I need to diagnose the boot process. inside an initrd script, I'd like to start a shell for diagnose... putting /bin/sh inside the script does not work. any hints? | 02:59 |
| Jeeves_Moss | how do I clear the warning and errors within Nagios? | 03:00 |
| syn-ack | pzn: are you putting that before or after the shebang? | 03:00 |
| pzn | syn-ack, inside /scripts/local-top/cryptoroot, at some point of the script I'm putting "/bin/sh" | 03:01 |
| syn-ack | pzn: And really why would you want to init a to start a shell when logon does that? | 03:02 |
| syn-ack | pzn: a script would generally consider that a shebang line | 03:02 |
| syn-ack | Unless you're trying to fork it from the initial process.... | 03:03 |
| pzn | syn-ack, I have a problem with the setup of cryptoroot. the boot does not complete. I need to start a shell inside a boot script | 03:03 |
| pzn | syn-ack, then I can diagnose by using this shell | 03:03 |
| syn-ack | I wouldn't even know where to begin a hack like that. | 03:03 |
| syn-ack | I doubt (and hope) that's impossible, to be quite honest, pzn | 03:04 |
| pzn | syn-ack, :-( | 03:04 |
| syn-ack | you need to boot without cryptroot and see if it's leaving any logs | 03:05 |
| syn-ack | I don't know enough about how it works to know. | 03:05 |
| pzn | syn-ack, cryptoroot is needed for accessing the / partition... so boot does not complete. | 03:05 |
| syn-ack | I'm trying to research it right now... | 03:06 |
| syn-ack | this is whole drive encryption, no? | 03:06 |
| Awaken | hmm, i have a dedi box, came imaged with 12.04.2 server, but with the 3.2 kernel. I have no KVM over IP or stuff! Reckon sudo apt-get install linux-image-generic-lts-quantal will break it ? :D | 03:06 |
| syn-ack | pzn: THIS is why I think root encryption is a bad idea. | 03:07 |
| syn-ack | pzn: so what errors, if any is it throwing? | 03:07 |
| syn-ack | pzn: and, can you drop into single user mode from grub to accomplish this? | 03:08 |
| pzn | syn-ack, http://wiki.debian.org/InitramfsDebug found it! I should add a parameter break= so kernel stops at initrd and gives me a shell to debug | 03:08 |
| syn-ack | ok, I'm sorry, I was trying to get up to speed to point you in the right direction. you got there before I could. Again, sorry about that | 03:09 |
| histo | Awaken: it shouldn't | 03:09 |
| histo | Awaken: Is there a reason you want to though? | 03:09 |
| syn-ack | pzn: either way, this is why encrypting / is a bad idea, imo. /boot? Go ahead, do it all day long, but not / | 03:10 |
| curatrix | if / is encrypted ..the key needs to be stored separately | 03:11 |
| machismo | Zimmerman. The media to kickstart black riots invented a new race. WHITE mexican. | 03:11 |
| syn-ack | curatrix: yeah either in /boot or the TPM. | 03:12 |
| syn-ack | I *HATE* the trusted computing model. | 03:12 |
| pzn | syn-ack, customer requirement, / encrypted, reboot only with human present, key must be typed, only 3 people have the key. I don't agree with that... however I must comply | 03:12 |

| vaskaloidis | Hey, can I install Ubuntu Server 13.04 on my hard-drive, plugged into my friends Compaq, then use the hard drive in my Dell Dimension 4600 - or will it not work correctly because it was not installed on the computer that is running it because of drivers? My dell Dimension 4600 (Pentium 4) will not install Ubuntu Server onto it's hard drive because it WONT load the CD. I have been trying for a long time | 03:13 |

| roobis | syn-ack I tried dd, got stuck | 03:21 |
| histo | roobis: What are you trying to do? | 03:21 |
| varunendra | SunStar, If you are sure you need the b43 driver, you can just download the "linux-firmware-nonfree" package and double-click to install : http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/all/linux-firmware-nonfree/download | 03:22 |
| roobis | histo, clone my hard drive and have it available as a sort of quick restore | 03:22 |
| SunStar | it installed the STA driver during OS install but i get no wifi connections listed | 03:22 |
| roobis | I was gonna try redobackup or clonezilla er something | 03:22 |
| chucko | ubottu: Does anyone know how to get raid working with 13.04 desktop. I have previously installed with alternate but one does not exist for 13.04. I have read an option to install server addition and install ubuntu-desktop but I am not sure if that will give me a true desktop experience | 03:23 |
| ubottu | chucko: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 03:23 |
| SunStar | redo is great for that | 03:23 |
| syn-ack | roobis: clonezilla is a real good way to do that as well | 03:23 |
| histo | roobis: you could use clonezilla if you don't want to just use dd | gzip | nc | 03:23 |
| varunendra | SunStar, if you are not sure about the correct driver, please give us the pastebin link of "lspci -nnk | grep -iA2 net" | 03:23 |
| roobis | SunStar, I tried to run redo from the iso, but it wouldnt' open | 03:23 |
| roobis | may need to download and burn it again | 03:23 |
| roobis | splash screen freeze | 03:24 |
| SunStar | chucko, yes you can install ubuntu desktop onto server it will function just like ubuntu desktop (just a lil slower if its got a bunch of server deamons running like a lampp stack | 03:24 |
| SunStar | roobis, likely the download was corrupted. redo is based on ubuntu so it should boot if ubuntu runs | 03:25 |

| ubottu | chucko: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 03:28 |

| syn-ack | chucko: I would use the proprietary drivers and as a matter of fact, do | 03:29 |
| SunStar | chucko, both have worked well for me in the past | 03:29 |
| roobis | does clonezilla create a restore dvd? | 03:29 |
| machismo | SunStar: yeah if you use ur desk top for word processing only | 03:30 |
| histo | roobis: you use the clonezilla boot media and pick where ever your image file is and plop it back on | 03:30 |
| machismo | Zimmerman. The media to kickstart black riots invented a new race. WHITE mexican. | 03:30 |
| * curatrix thanks F | 03:30 | |
| wilee-nilee | roobis, No you run it from a cd or usb and it saves packages to where you want, an external HD works nicely. | 03:30 |
| SunStar | roobis, run the ISO through your torrent app again and force recheck of torrent data. like i said redo is based on ubuntu, if ubuntu works fine then its more likly the source media your running | 03:32 |
| SunStar | that is to blame* | 03:33 |
| roobis | SunStar, I download it html not torrent | 03:35 |
| SunStar | then verify the MD5 checksum. the easiest way to do that is run it through a torrent app | 03:35 |
| SunStar | oh yeah but they are sourceforge based | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | roobis, You can rename it to the torrent download and check it if you wanted as well. | 03:36 |
| SunStar | nevermind dont trust any torrents on that | 03:36 |

| Random832 | go to the top menu, settings manager | 04:06 |
| * curatrix steps back | 04:06 | |
| curatrix | ;) | 04:06 |
| Random832 | grr let me find it | 04:06 |
| Random832 | ok | 04:06 |
| HisaoNakai | nimdAHK - Heh! Congrats, you're the first person to have recognized it ever since I changed it :D | 04:06 |
| Random832 | HisaoNakai: in the settings manager, go to Keyboard, and open the Layout tab | 04:06 |
| HisaoNakai | Random832 - Yes? o.o | 04:07 |
| Random832 | and then add a layout, find Indian in the list | 04:07 |
| Random832 | and select one of the - did you say Hindi? | 04:07 |
| HisaoNakai | Yeah, Hindi. | 04:08 |
| nimdAHK | HisaoNakai: protip: get a tshirt with Kenji's angry face on it. Good for meeting other KS fans irl surreptitiously. | 04:08 |

| forogmynick | hello | 04:09 |
| Random832 | gah | 04:09 |
| forogmynick | roughly how much space does ubuntu desktop take after install? | 04:09 |
| Random832 | i am not sure how to switch between two installed layouts | 04:09 |
| wilee-nilee | forogmynick, close to 4 gigs | 04:10 |
| wilee-nilee | maybe a little less | 04:10 |
| Random832 | ok you have to add an applet to the panel | 04:10 |
| Random832 | then in the applet properties you can set a key shortcut | 04:10 |
| Random832 | HisaoNakai: you getting this? | 04:11 |
| Random832 | was there any part you couldn't follow? | 04:11 |

| Random832 | did you add a keyboard layout? | 04:12 |
| === SPAAAAAAACE is now known as IsaacTheDeaf | ||
| HisaoNakai | Random832 - Oh, lol, I had, but hadn't selected it. Excellent, it works :D | 04:13 |
| Random832 | yeah you need to add the keyboard layout applet to the panel | 04:14 |
| Random832 | right click the panel, go to panel, add new items | 04:14 |
| Random832 | find the keyboard layout applet | 04:14 |
| Random832 | then you can click it to switch, or you can right click and set up a key shortcut | 04:14 |
| FaithlessHyren | Hello, everyone. | 04:15 |
| HisaoNakai | Random832 - What's 'compose key position'? | 04:15 |

| Random832 | ignore that | 04:15 |
| Random832 | just set up the change layout option | 04:16 |

| pheonix10 | any kind souls able to help me out | 04:18 |

| FaithlessHyren | Thanks, wilee-nilee. | 04:18 |

| HisaoNakai | Random832 - Thanks, I think I'm more or less set. Tell me this, is there any resource for international-language-typing? It's a bit confusing, so it'd be good to learn in case of future mess-ups. | 04:19 |
| Random832 | not really | 04:19 |
| histo | !ldap | pheonix10 | 04:19 |
| ubottu | pheonix10: LDAP is the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol. For more information, installation instructions and getting clients to authenticate via LDAP see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenLDAPServer | 04:19 |
| Random832 | just be glad you've got a simple language | 04:19 |

| HisaoNakai | I'll also need to german in a few months :( | 04:19 |
| sirdeseagull | try google ime | 04:19 |
| Random832 | no i mean like, setting up for like chinese or japanese is a bit more involved than just a keyboard layout | 04:19 |
| HisaoNakai | *set up for german | 04:20 |
| FaithlessHyren | Well. it doesn't help that I'm missing 6MB of RAM. | 04:20 |
| Random832 | german's not hard at all - just add the US International keyboard layout | 04:20 |
| histo | FaithlessHyren: what do you mean missing? | 04:20 |
| Random832 | or german or swiss german if you have one of those actual keyboards | 04:20 |
| pheonix10 | trying to configure an application (PacketFence) to authenticate users using the organization's LDAP but am currently stuck | 04:20 |
| sirdeseagull | i have just install google ime for japanese kanji and it works fantastic | 04:21 |
| HisaoNakai | I see, Random832... | 04:21 |
| HisaoNakai | Oh, sirdeseagull, you meant me, lol. | 04:21 |
| pheonix10 | i have a field "Username Attribute" but i don't know what to enter there? | 04:21 |
| FaithlessHyren | histo: Memtest is showing that I have 4022MB of RAM. Unless the on-board graphics is using 6, which isn't a power of 2, then I've lost a few megabytes. | 04:21 |
| sirdeseagull | haha | 04:21 |
| nickthebum | HisaoNakai: you a china man | 04:21 |
| HisaoNakai | nickthebum - No, India o_O | 04:21 |
| Random832 | and german support is in every font, you don't need to install fonts | 04:21 |
| Random832 | if you wanted like the file menu to be in german or hindi you'd have to install language pack files, but you were just talking about typing it into libreoffice | 04:22 |
| FaithlessHyren | Wait, hang on, I've got my maths wrong. | 04:22 |
| sirdeseagull | german use roman anyways | 04:22 |
| HisaoNakai | Random832 - That's good to hear. However...I might need more fonts for Hindi, how does one change that in this setup? | 04:22 |
| FaithlessHyren | Make that 74MB, not 6 | 04:22 |
| nickthebum | FaithlessHyren: are you using 32 or 64 bit | 04:22 |
| curatrix | HisaoNakai: You should be able to use any ttf hindi font | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | FaithlessHyren, data is measured in 1000Mib or 1024MIB at times for a gig. | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Mib* | 04:23 |
| Random832 | HisaoNakai: i don't know where you can get fonts | 04:23 |
| Random832 | but if you make a directory in your home called ".fonts" you can put any fonts you download in it | 04:23 |
| curatrix | The fonts are all over the net | 04:23 |
| sirdeseagull | here hisaonakai : http://insane-on-linux.blogspot.ca/2010/01/google-ime-for-indian-languages.html | 04:23 |
| nickthebum | Now even FONTS can carry spy ware | 04:23 |
| HisaoNakai | nickthebum - LOL | 04:23 |
| Random832 | i don't know if that's the "proper" place, that's just how i learned it and it still works for me i tihnk | 04:24 |
| FaithlessHyren | nickthebum: I'm not actually sure, to be honest. It's a machine I picked up from the side of the road. But shouldn't 32-bit be limited to 3.7GB, instead of 4.02? | 04:24 |
| nickthebum | HisaoNakai: yes they can. | 04:24 |
| FaithlessHyren | wilee-nilee: It's measured in 1000MB for storage, but in 1024 for RAM, which is what's being dodgy. | 04:24 |
| wilee-nilee | nickthebum, Hardly ubuntu support info. | 04:24 |
| HisaoNakai | Random832, curatrix - Aha, I got it. I _can_ use the existing ttfs I have. Although a tiny annoyance, I have to change input method to search for them in LO's font list, _then_ switch IM again to use them, lulz. | 04:25 |
| wilee-nilee | FaithlessHyren, Depends on who and what is measuring it. | 04:25 |
| HisaoNakai | nickthebum - I know, ironic laughter. | 04:25 |
| nickthebum | FaithlessHyren: boot into bios. | 04:25 |
| HisaoNakai | nickthebum - I avoid google stuff where ever possible. | 04:25 |
| nickthebum | FaithlessHyren: check memory in bios | 04:25 |
| HisaoNakai | They're like those antagonists who act all good and even do good to gain trust >_> | 04:26 |
| curatrix | HisaoNakai: Yeah ....They will all get lumped in together......Personally I would start a new user account that was set up for hindi . | 04:26 |
| FaithlessHyren | nickthebum: It's 64-bit, and installed memory is showing up as a very vague 4.0GB | 04:26 |
| HisaoNakai | curatrix - Nah, current one works fine - it'd be a pain to have to keep switching between accounts :S | 04:27 |
| nickthebum | FaithlessHyren: should it be more | 04:27 |
| curatrix | HisaoNakai: That is fair enough. | 04:27 |
| HisaoNakai | One more question, not regarding languages | 04:27 |
| FaithlessHyren | nickthebum: It should be 4096MB, but it shows up in memtest as 4022. I suspect a stick to be damaged, though, since it was preventing the PC from booting before I re-seated it. | 04:28 |
| nickthebum | FaithlessHyren: your worried about that. Its probably coversion from MB or Mb. | 04:29 |

| nickthebum | FaithlessHyren: or mb. All are slightly different | 04:30 |
| nickthebum | There are online convertors. | 04:30 |

| holstein | chunkyhead: you shouldnt need to "switch on a driver" | 04:44 |
| chunkyhead | holstein, exactly. but i cant do anything | 04:44 |
| holstein | chunkyhead: cant? | 04:44 |
| chunkyhead | i thought maybe the driver was off so i tried turning it on and the light doesn't glow at all | 04:44 |
| chunkyhead | holstein, ^ | 04:44 |
| chunkyhead | nor do i have any option in the network menu on the top bar holstein | 04:44 |
| holstein | chunkyhead: do dont "turn them on" | 04:45 |
| holstein | chunkyhead: the driver is either available in the kernel, or you need to add it | 04:45 |

| kce007 | hello there,a lot of ppl | 04:48 |
| Alejadnroo80 | Hi anyone knows how to install Ubuntu for android on the nexus 4, recently shown in a video demo by Leann Ogasawara, it is shown around the 1:50 sec mark | 04:49 |
| holstein | chunkyhead: when i go to the broadcom link i gave you and search 43225 i find information that supports the appropriate driver package you should add is bcmwl-kernel-source | 04:50 |
| Alejadnroo80 | This is the link to the video I spoke before: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EtNhlVn3ETQ | 04:50 |
| chunkyhead | holstein, not there already saw | 04:50 |
| varunendra | chunkyhead, that card seems to be supported by all 3 variants of broadcom drivers. Please try - "sudo modprobe -v brcmsmac" | 04:50 |
| holstein | chunkyhead: it actually is there | 04:50 |
| kce007 | who would be so nice and tell me what i can do for dell optical mouse freezes on boot,it works after one or 2 reboots | 04:51 |
| wilee-nilee | Alejadnroo80, #ubuntu-touch | 04:51 |
| chunkyhead | holstein, where? http://screencloud.net/v/laIT no where can i see 43225 | 04:51 |
| holstein | !broadcom | chunkyhead | 04:51 |
| varunendra | chunkyhead, holstein, the best place to look for correct device/driver match for broadcom : http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 | 04:51 |
| Alejadnroo80 | Ok thanks wilee-nilee | 04:52 |
| holstein | varunendra: i usually suggest the wiki and using repo packages.. you are welcome to talk chunkyhead through using that | 04:52 |
| varunendra | :) | 04:53 |
| varunendra | holstein, the wiki is actually based on the same info. It mostly talks about identifying the device, then various ways to get the possible drivers. | 04:54 |
| holstein | varunendra: what i read, bcmwl-kernel-source is the one to try for that device | 04:54 |
| chunkyhead | what exactly is that i have to do on that link? varunendra | 04:54 |
| miadbahrami | help me please | 04:55 |
| holstein | chunkyhead: you read it, and parse what driver is needed for you device... as i did at the other link, where instaling bcmwl-kernel-source is suggested | 04:55 |
| holstein | sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source for example | 04:55 |
| histo | chunkyhead: use the drivers manager in system settings | 04:55 |
| varunendra | chunkyhead, nothing to do there, the table on that page is only the info to determine which driver(s) may work for your card. | 04:56 |
| miadbahrami | i use the ubuntu 12.04 lts and live in iran - past the install the os - i install the language support and add the persian | 04:57 |
| miadbahrami | past the restart my system remve the keyboard layout for persian | 04:58 |
| chunkyhead | where are firmwares installed on the system? | 04:58 |
| varunendra | chunkyhead, the easiest thing you can quickly and without side effects test is - "sudo modprobe -v brcmsmac". If it doesn't work, the next thing to try would be installing firmware. | 04:58 |
| kce007 | hello,i have ubuntu 13.04 32 bits version ,ati radeon hd 5700, i have dell 5 button usb mose allmost every boot pointer freezes and i can fix it with one or two reboots.What i can do for it? | 04:59 |
| varunendra | chunkyhead, the firmware for broadcom chips has to be in /lib/firmware/b43 directory by the way. But not by default and not required if the brcmsmac driver works. | 04:59 |
| holstein | kce007: does it do it if you unplug and boot, and plug it in after its running? are you up to date with upgrades? | 05:00 |
| chunkyhead | varunendra, i did sudo modprobe -v brcmsmac now how to check | 05:01 |
| chunkyhead | varunendra, thanks man done :D | 05:01 |
| varunendra | chunkyhead, did the wireless become active? NM may not let you connect while wired connection is available. | 05:02 |
| kce007 | holstein didnt tryed that one,but i tried unplug and plug after its booted,didnt worked | 05:02 |
| holstein | kce007: and, you are up to date with upgrades? | 05:02 |
| varunendra | chunkyhead, it is weird why it didn't get loaded by default. It shouldn't have required that command. | 05:02 |
| kce007 | holstein: yes i m up to date | 05:03 |
| chunkyhead | varunendra, it works in windows. i was wondering why this happened | 05:03 |
| chunkyhead | anyways thanks none the less :D | 05:03 |
| histo | kce007: memtest | 05:03 |
| kce007 | ohh holstein btw i saw that my usb wireless network doesnt work to when i has that freeze problem | 05:04 |
| kce007 | sorry by Memtest you mean? | 05:06 |

| peteyboy_ | So is this coincincidence, or should I be worried: I just got an email from reddit saying someone requested a pwd reset for my account, but I sent no such request. I also used this email on ubuntuforums, but all 3 pwds are different | 05:51 |
| Awaken | might be part of an automated script, if you were a wannabe hacker you'd wanna do a password reset on reddit if your stolen password WAS the same for your email. Then you have an extra account for free | 05:52 |
| DuncanNZ | Awaken: +1 | 05:53 |
| Awaken | also it lets them discover more email addresses potentially | 05:53 |
| DuncanNZ | they'll just reset everyone's reddit password, try everyone's email password using the same one, then they have both in their hands. they don't care | 05:53 |
| Awaken | that you use, that the password might match | 05:53 |

| DuncanNZ | the whole thing is very serious, every user has a major problem on their hands. if nothing else they'll get spammed. if they didn't use unique passwords, as I doubt half of people do, then they've lost their email account. and once you've got email, you can lose everything else, using password reset links. | 05:55 |
| DuncanNZ | there'll be plenty of people who a) didn't use unique passwords and b) won't change their password for everything else in time | 05:56 |

| Braden` | Hello | 06:16 |
| zryan | AW,Snap! | 06:18 |
| Braden` | I asked this in #httpd, but got no response. I am wondering if this is an Ubuntu-centric issue. * Starting web server apache2 -- Syntax error on line 1 of /etc/apache2/apache2.conf: -- Invalid command 'CacheDirLength', perhaps misspelled or defined by a module not included in the server configuration. I have cache, mem_cache, and file_cache modules enabled. | 06:19 |

| Braden` | http://pastebin.com/Fn29QrYE | 06:33 |
| sajan | Braden`, I'm not too familiar with the caching modules you're trying to use. However a quick google search for CacheDirLength leads me to believe that directive is for mod_cache_disk or mod_disk_cache, of which you have neither enabled from that pastebin output. | 06:37 |
| babinlonston | installed rsnapshots and getting this error please guide me to get fixed http://pastebin.com/SFYEVjT4 | 06:38 |
| sajan | Braden`, looks like it's also part of mod_proxy, which I also do not see. | 06:38 |
| Braden` | Oh | 06:38 |
| Braden` | Let me add that | 06:38 |
| sajan | Braden`, make sure you restart Apache. :) | 06:39 |
| Braden` | Enabled mod_proxy and restarted apache. Same result :/ | 06:39 |
| === voxadm is now known as voxadam | ||
| sajan | Braden`, sorry mate. Not sure then. What about the other modules for disk cache, that sounds more like what you're trying to do. | 06:41 |
| Braden` | http://pastebin.com/uRvi4ZL8 <-- enabled disk_cache. Still same result though :/ | 06:44 |
| Braden` | sajan: Thanks. Its a frustrating problem to be sure | 06:45 |
| sajan | Braden`, oooh, you know what it might be. Are you putting your CacheDirLength inside a directory block? | 06:46 |
| sajan | It looks like CacheDirLength is only accepted as part of the main server config block or a virtual host. | 06:46 |
| Braden` | sajan: Nope, its in the virtualhost area but outside of directory | 06:48 |
| sajan | Braden`, sorry mate. Out of ideas. | 06:52 |

| rannonga | random lol | 07:14 |
| randomaussie_ | :P | 07:15 |
| rannonga | are you trying to stop the gnome window manager? | 07:15 |
| krzkrz | rannonga: that will probably work. assuming so. how would i get into the login screen without fail? | 07:15 |
| randomaussie_ | yeah so i cna install my nvidia drivers | 07:15 |
| krzkrz | lets assume the issue is with lightdm | 07:16 |
| rannonga | did you do anything weird to your system? | 07:16 |
| krzkrz | "weird" | 07:16 |
| krzkrz | no | 07:16 |
| rannonga | krzkz i would try and download gdm and see if that works | 07:17 |
| rannonga | change the login manager | 07:17 |
| rannonga | it might just be a problem with lightdm | 07:17 |
| krzkrz | im on ubuntu 13.04. should i try 13.10? | 07:18 |
| krzkrz | doesnt 13.10 have a new login manager? | 07:18 |
| rannonga | i don't know it shouldnt matter | 07:18 |

| rannonga | and is it mounted? | 07:21 |
| randomaussie_ | i cant find a guide to make aditional drivers install a .run file | 07:21 |
| rannonga | what, you just want to run the .run file? | 07:21 |
| krzkrz | rannonga: using gdm instead of lightdm is safe/fine? | 07:21 |
| rannonga | yeah | 07:21 |
| rannonga | it doesnt matter | 07:21 |
| alexw | not mounted - I just got a USB ext drive (3tb) | 07:21 |
| alexw | and looking to format it to ext3 | 07:21 |
| randomaussie_ | to install my nvdia drivers | 07:21 |
| rannonga | random, so you just need to run the .run file? | 07:22 |
| krzkrz | ok i installed it. how do i know what my default login manager is? | 07:22 |
| krzkrz | ...is set to? | 07:22 |
| rannonga | krzkrz | 07:22 |
| randomaussie_ | rannonga: as far as i cen tell | 07:22 |
| rannonga | go to ctrl alt f1 | 07:22 |
| s0beit | >if anyone knows, my laptop used to disable it's own monitor when the lid closed, and HDMI output was working fine - now it refuses to turn off it's own monitor when the lid closes and output to HDMI only and I have no idea why (laptop monitor is still recognized by the OS when lid is closed) | 07:22 |
| rannonga | then type sudo systemctl disable lightdm.service and sudo system enable gmd.service | 07:22 |
| krzkrz | how do i get back from ctl alt f1? | 07:23 |
| rannonga | that will change the login manager | 07:23 |
| krzkrz | without rebooting | 07:23 |
| randomaussie_ | ctrl+alt+f7 | 07:23 |
| rannonga | are you in the gui already well logout and then type ctr alt f2 i thing or f1 | 07:23 |
| krzkrz | k | 07:23 |
| krzkrz | brb | 07:23 |
| randomaussie_ | ctrl+alt+f(1-6) are terminal 7 onwards are gui be default | 07:24 |
| randomaussie_ | by defauklt | 07:24 |
| rannonga | random, if all you need to do is run a .run, cd into the directory then run sudo chmod +x file.run | 07:24 |
| rannonga | then sudo ./file.run | 07:24 |
| rannonga | that should work | 07:25 |
| randomaussie_ | ok thanks | 07:25 |
| randomaussie_ | thta will work with nvidia drivers? | 07:25 |
| rannonga | if all you need to do is run the .run file then yes | 07:25 |

| rannonga | you probably just want to reset it | 08:16 |
| Seth_ | @ jswagner- I am trying to get ubuntu to recognize my wifi card from my PC | 08:16 |
| rannonga | first of all can you get into the terminal? | 08:16 |
| rannonga | thmc | 08:16 |
| thmcmahon | rannonga: me? | 08:16 |
| rannonga | yeah sorry | 08:17 |
| jswagner | thmcmahon: do you have other user accounts you can log in to, and are they similarly affected? | 08:17 |
| thmcmahon | rannonga: i'm on tty1 now, so the computer boots to the desktop, but i've got no menus | 08:17 |
| thmcmahon | jswagner: only one user | 08:17 |
| jswagner | add a user and try to log in? | 08:17 |
| rannonga | press ctrl alt t | 08:17 |
| thmcmahon | rannonga: on x? | 08:17 |
| Seth_ | control alt t brings up the terminal? | 08:17 |
| rannonga | yeah | 08:17 |
| thmcmahon | rannonga: ok that got me a terminal | 08:18 |
| rannonga | try this website http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2013/04/how-to-reset-unity-compiz-in-ubuntu-12-10-and-13-04 | 08:18 |
| thmcmahon | rannonga: ok i'll check it out. | 08:18 |
| Seth_ | rannonga: the terminal is where I paste the text documents for ndiswrapper? | 08:19 |
| rannonga | seth, I dont even know whether you have installed it yet, please tell me | 08:19 |
| rannonga | the ubuntu | 08:19 |
| jswagner | Seth_: read the documents, follow the steps | 08:19 |
| Seth_ | I'm sorry, I understand that it is as reading the steps and following them as they say, but I am not the slightest bit familiar with the linux vocabulary. I get to a step where it asks me to bring up an application, or what I believe is an application | 08:21 |
| Seth_ | and I haven't installed ubuntu yet | 08:21 |
| Seth_ | It is only on a bootable flash drive | 08:21 |
| n8w | hey,how do i completely switch from openjdk to sun java?update-java-alternatives -l doesnt offer any other java, even though its installed. here is the output of update-alternatives : http://pastebin.com/2LaLV6d4 | 08:22 |

| Nimble | I think he's not booted into ubuntu at all | 08:24 |
| Seth_ | Right now I am running windows 7 | 08:24 |
| Nimble | he wants to know that he will be able to get it working before installing | 08:24 |
| Seth_ | my wireless card driver works with windows 7. when i use the flash drive and boot ubuntu, I cannot connect to the internet | 08:25 |

| DJones | Seth_: Do you have the possibilty to use a wired connection for a short time, it may be that you could connect by cable and use the additional drivers which may download the correct driver for you without you needing to manually install it | 08:27 |
| zipy | is there a log of all tcp/ip connections? | 08:27 |
| blazemore | Seth_: Nobody minds people who lack experience, the only problem in this channel is people who are rude, and people who won't accept an expert's answer. Neither of those apply to you | 08:27 |
| wsnipex | zipy, not by default and you probably wouldn't want it either :) | 08:28 |
| blazemore | zipy: Take a look at tcpspy, the terminology you're looking for is "network sniffer" or "traffic sniffer" | 08:28 |
| moose-machine | hi. i wish to add a folder to PATH. I tried googling, it says that i should write the path to the ~/.bashrc file. however there is no ~/.bashrc. Secondly when i made it and added the path there, it does not get picked up by env command and as a result i am unable to run an application from my terminal. Can anyone suggest which file i should be editing instead? thanks in advance. | 08:28 |
| Seth_ | I have received several private messages, could someone tell me the message parameters to respond to them? | 08:28 |
| wsnipex | netstat -an will give you current connections | 08:28 |
| blazemore | moose-machine: can you please post the contents of your ~/.bashrc to http://paste.ubuntu.com | 08:29 |
| jswagner | Seth_: /msg <IRCName> your message | 08:29 |
| blazemore | Seth_: /msg Username "hello" | 08:29 |
| DJones | Seth_: If you've a private message in a seperate window, you should be able to just reply in the same window | 08:29 |
| moose-machine | blazemore: ~/.bashrc is missing | 08:29 |

| moose-machine | jswagner:i think i am in bash because i have ~/.bash_history and ~/.bash_logout there | 08:32 |
| moose-machine | blazemore: let me try that | 08:32 |
| blazemore | moose-machine: also, what is the output of "echo $PATH" | 08:32 |
| DJones | Seth_: Have a read of this, http://askubuntu.com/questions/47506/how-do-i-install-extra-drivers | 08:32 |
| moose-machine | blazemore: yay. that worked :) thank u | 08:33 |
| blazemore | moose-machine: It'll work from now on without you having to do that, all you need to do was restart your terminal :) | 08:33 |
| moose-machine | blazemore: lol. ohhhh. i see. thank you guys. :) you are great | 08:34 |
| blazemore | moose-machine: bash didn't know you'd edited that file, and was happily continuing on with its existing $PATH variable, until you ran .source which told it to go through .bashrc again | 08:34 |
| moose-machine | blazemore: i see. ok. :) nice | 08:34 |
| guzzlefry | So, it looks like there's no easy way to install Oracle JRE? | 08:34 |
| moose-machine | blazemore: cheers. got to get back to my geeky stuff. lol | 08:35 |
| blazemore | guzzlefry: What have you tried? | 08:36 |
| blazemore | guzzlefry: WebUpd8 provides a PPA that makes it pretty easy: add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer | 08:36 |
| ikonia | downloading it from oracle is easy | 08:37 |
| blazemore | (there should be a sudo in front of the first one also) | 08:37 |
| ikonia | download it ./file | 08:37 |
| guzzlefry | blazemore: thanks | 08:38 |
| guzzlefry | ikonia: I'm weird about installing stuff outside of the package manager. :P | 08:38 |
| blazemore | It certainly makes it easier to use the PPA, and WebUpd8 is fairly trusted | 08:38 |
| blazemore | They certainly couldn't afford to start distributing malware in their java installers | 08:39 |
| ikonia | guzzlefry: then what did you try before ? | 08:39 |
| guzzlefry | I tried looking in the default package stuff. | 08:40 |
| ikonia | guzzlefry: so basically you did apt-cache search java - and decided there was no easy way to install it | 08:40 |
| blazemore | guzzlefry: Why do you need Oracle java and not Openjdk that comes with the default java packages? | 08:40 |
| guzzlefry | blazemore: Apparently PHPStorm has issues with OpenJDK. | 08:41 |
| blazemore | guzzlefry: I'm going to help you out - next time you join a channel asking for help, don't barge in being confrontational: "So, it looks like there's no easy way to install Oracle JRE?". Just ask instead | 08:41 |

| zipy | hey i have a funny idea, what if my neighbors all split their wlans.. is it possible to merge connections somehow to get a bigger bandwith? | 08:43 |
| cfhowlett | guzzlefry, noted. unlike you, however, quite a few folks show up here and do a major attitude dump. THEN they ask for help. | 08:43 |
| zryan | what i run chromium in terminal? | 08:44 |
| blazemore | zryan: Open a terminal and run "chromium" | 08:44 |

| rannonga | is it google chrome or chromium? | 08:44 |
| ikonia | zryan: sorry, not you | 08:44 |

| guzzlefry | cfhowlett: yeah, could have phrased it better. But it's somehow almost 5am and my brain is mushy. :P | 08:45 |
| cfhowlett | zryan, sorry if I confused you. open a terminal and type in "chrome" no quote marks. note the messages. | 08:45 |
| zryan | blazemore (chromium: command not found | 08:45 |
| zryan | ) | 08:45 |
| cfhowlett | guzzlefry, nothing like a little pre-dawn troubleshooting | 08:45 |

| rannonga | lol | 09:14 |
| adsk | ? | 09:14 |
| ikonia | adsk: 1.) explain the problem 2.) provide the details, what is he script, how are you tryin got start it | 09:14 |
| ActionParsnip | adsk: does it need the X server running? | 09:14 |
| ikonia | adsk: "it doesn't works" and keep repeating that is just worthless | 09:15 |
| rannonga | zyran, i would try reinstalling | 09:15 |
| blazemore | adsk: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questions/showthread.php?threadid=346690 | 09:15 |
| adsk | it doesnt need x sever running, i edited the crontab file with crontab-e | 09:15 |
| ikonia | adsk: show the script - show the crontab entry | 09:15 |
| ikonia | adsk: you keep saying you've edited it with crontab -e - but you've not shown what you've setup | 09:15 |
| ActionParsnip | adsk: then you can add the command in/etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line, append an ampersand to the end of the command so that the boot does not hang | 09:16 |

| adsk | give it permssons | 09:16 |
| adsk | then | 09:16 |
| ikonia | adsk: how hard is this to grasp | 09:16 |
| ikonia | adsk: give the crontab entry, give the script | 09:17 |

| ikonia | mezenok_den: I doubt it will be added to the ubuntu default service | 09:45 |
| mezenok_den | I do not know when to start | 09:45 |
| mezenok_den | where from to start* | 09:45 |
| ikonia | mezenok_den: you need to make package to add the functionality | 09:45 |
| ikonia | mezenok_den: first thing is to get the funtionality added to your desktop to prove it works | 09:45 |
| mezenok_den | yes, I ubderstand it - actualy I want to ask how to make my own libaccount-plugin... | 09:46 |
| ikonia | mezenok_den: this is why I'm saying you need to understand how the service works | 09:46 |
| Xabster | On a fresh install of Ubuntu I cannot find skype in the software center but sudo apt-get install skype works - why is this? | 09:46 |
| ikonia | mezenok_den: so that you can configure the service | 09:46 |

| ikonia | boris_G: which sdk | 09:49 |
| Lazuroth78 | I was trying to fix my dvd playback | 09:49 |
| Lazuroth78 | when it first came up | 09:49 |
| boris_G | as i am unable to get it to load after an apt-get - i suspect a missing library, which ill try a --fix-missing in a sec | 09:49 |
| ikonia | Lazuroth78: did it ever work ? | 09:49 |
| Lazuroth78 | yes | 09:49 |

| Lazuroth78 | I did it two differant ways | 09:57 |

| ActionPa1snip | Lazuroth78: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list.d/medibuntu.list | 09:58 |

| krz | it says: Once the repositories are set up, search for "font" in Synaptic. You should get a list of over a hundred packages. (If you get far less, then you may need to press Reload, to make sure your repository data is up to date.) Not all of these packages are fonts, some are font utilities for editing or managing fonts. Clicking on a package will show a description. | 10:10 |

| moose-machine | hi. i am wondering. is it possible for me to run an executable file as a command in linux? for instance, i have a game oilrush.sh. i have symlinked it into /usr/local/bin. but it doesn't lauch by 'oilrush.sh' at bash prompt. to launch it from the command line, i have to cd into the installation folder and run './oilrush'. my life would be a lot easier if i could simple give a command like 'oilrush' at the launch of the terminal inste | 10:13 |
| zipy | host ubuntu | 10:13 |
| zipy | 1204 | 10:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | moose-machine: you do know the '.sh' is not necessary :) | 10:14 |
| jrib | moose-machine: what happens exactly when you type "oilrush.sh' at a bash prompt? | 10:14 |
| ActionPa1snip | moose-machine: is /usr/local/bin in your $PATH ? | 10:14 |
| MonkeyDust | zipy you can enable 2D for windows guest, in the vbox settings screen | 10:14 |
| zipy | ok, i think its the 3d acceleration that causes the prob | 10:15 |
| moose-machine | ActionPar1snip: yes it is | 10:15 |
| giorgiodinapoli | apt-get install postgresql install always /etc/postgresql-common/clusterstuff | 10:15 |
| moose-machine | ActionPar1snip: no maybe not. let me check again | 10:15 |
| giorgiodinapoli | what can be wrong? | 10:15 |
| ActionPa1snip | moose-machine: echo o$PATH | 10:15 |
| ActionPa1snip | moose-machine: echo $PATH | 10:16 |
| ikonia | giorgiodinapoli: why do you think that is wrong ? | 10:16 |
| giorgiodinapoli | normaly i install it then i get /etc/postgresql/9.1 ... | 10:16 |
| giorgiodinapoli | pg_hba.conf | 10:16 |
| ikonia | giorgiodinapoli: install it how ? | 10:17 |
| moose-machine | ActionPar1snip: /usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin | 10:17 |
| Lazuroth78 | ok got one more question | 10:17 |
| giorgiodinapoli | apt-get install postgresql | 10:17 |
| ikonia | !info postgresql | 10:17 |
| ubottu | postgresql (source: postgresql-common (140)): object-relational SQL database (supported version). In component main, is optional. Version 9.1+140 (raring), package size 6 kB, installed size 67 kB | 10:17 |
| moose-machine | ActionPar1snip: symlink exists in /usr/local/bin | 10:17 |
| jrib | moose-machine: what happens exactly when you type "oilrush.sh' at a bash prompt? | 10:18 |
| razaccour | Anyone here familiar with Pavucontrol? | 10:18 |
| ActionPa1snip | moose-machine: and what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 10:18 |
| razaccour | I'm trying to figure out how to get it to record from 2 devices at the same time. While recording it only lets me select one device. | 10:18 |
| ikonia | giorgiodinapoli: sorry, I'm not sure I'm following you say when you intsall it with apt-get it goes to path A, but when you install it with apt-get it's going to path B | 10:18 |
| ActionPa1snip | moose-machine: plus, as jrib says | 10:18 |
| giorgiodinapoli | ikonia i did the same thing before and it properly installed to /etc/postgresql | 10:18 |
| ikonia | giorgiodinapoli: do you have 3rd party repos enabled ? | 10:18 |
| ikonia | giorgiodinapoli: is this the same ubuntu version as before ? | 10:19 |
| giorgiodinapoli | YES | 10:19 |
| giorgiodinapoli | its strange | 10:19 |
| giorgiodinapoli | its the openstack cloud version | 10:19 |
| giorgiodinapoli | i did 2 machines from the same image | 10:19 |
| ikonia | giorgiodinapoli: what's the openstack cloud version ? | 10:19 |
| giorgiodinapoli | one it works the other not | 10:19 |
| moose-machine | ActionPar1snip: trying jrib's suggestion | 10:20 |
| moose-machine | jrib: oilrush.sh says: | 10:21 |
| moose-machine | /usr/local/games/OilRush-1.35/oilrush.sh: line 3: cd: ./bin: No such file or directory | 10:21 |
| moose-machine | /usr/local/games/OilRush-1.35/oilrush.sh: line 9: ./launcher_x64: No such file or directory | 10:21 |
| giorgiodinapoli | .ami image | 10:21 |
| razaccour | Anyone here familiar with Pavucontrol? | 10:21 |
| moose-machine | jrib: i think there must be an issue with the executable script | 10:21 |
| razaccour | I'm trying to figure out how to get it to record from 2 devices at the same time. While recording it only lets me select one device. | 10:21 |
| jrib | moose-machine: get rid of your symlink. Instead create a small shell script that changes directory (cd) into the right path where you normally run oilrush.sh from, and then executes ./oilrush.sh. | 10:22 |
| giorgiodinapoli | ikonia the cloud image .ami from ubuntu | 10:22 |
| ikonia | giorgiodinapoli: what repo is postgres sql coming from ? | 10:22 |
| moose-machine | jrib: wow. ok. i will have to research that suggestion and find out how to do that. thank you very much. :) | 10:22 |
| giorgiodinapoli | default apt spources | 10:22 |
| giorgiodinapoli | common (140)): object-relational SQL database (supported version). In component main, is optional. Version 9.1+140 (raring), package size 6 kB, installed size 67 kB <--working | 10:22 |
| ikonia | giorgiodinapoli: no, which specific one, check "not default" | 10:23 |
| jrib | moose-machine: Take each ';' as a newline. Your script should look like: #!/bin/sh; cd /path/to/dir; ./oilrush.sh | 10:23 |
| ActionPa1snip | moose-machine: then the pwd is significant to launch it | 10:23 |
| ActionPa1snip | moose-machine: as jrib says, the script will be 3 lines: #!/bin/bash cd /usr/local/games/OilRush-1.35 ./oilrush.sh | 10:23 |
| moose-machine | ActionPa1snip: thank you very much. i will work on that. :) | 10:24 |
| moose-machine | jrib: thank you very much. i will do that and see what happens. :) | 10:25 |
| giorgiodinapoli | ikonia i tried to find the package with dpkg -S /etc/postgresql/9.1/main/pg_hba.conf | 10:27 |

| ubottu | chunkyhead: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 11:00 |

| Lazuroth78 | they keyboard is working now and does not stop working only when I turn my computer off and restart it | 12:30 |
| Lazuroth78 | does it stop | 12:30 |
| heyuxiang | ok, i guess the problem is the keyboard wire is off | 12:30 |
| Lazuroth78 | how do you turn it on | 12:30 |
| heyuxiang | take off the keyboard, clean the connectors | 12:30 |
| Lazuroth78 | ok that is going to have to be taken in and have it done | 12:31 |
| heyuxiang | there may be too much dust inside your laptop. | 12:31 |
| Lazuroth78 | did not think about that I will take it in and have it cleaned up | 12:32 |
| heyuxiang | i would take it into pieces and give it a cleanning | 12:32 |
| Lazuroth78 | or I will call my uncle he can do it | 12:32 |
| heyuxiang | yes | 12:33 |
| volitek | Anyone got any thoughts about how to sort out my amd graphics drivers? | 12:33 |
| heyuxiang | good luck | 12:33 |
| Lazuroth78 | most soft ware stuff I can fix my self but I am new to linux and not sure of anything on Ubuntu | 12:33 |
| heyuxiang | Lazuroth78: ubuntu is better than windows 7 at installing. when installing, ubuntu recognized all my hardware, including wireless and wired network. | 12:34 |
| Lazuroth78 | it let me browse the web while it was installing | 12:34 |
| Lazuroth78 | just had to use the onscreen keyboard | 12:35 |
| Lazuroth78 | and usb mouse | 12:35 |
| heyuxiang | windows 7? that shiiiit can't find my wireless and wired hardware, so i have no way to install network drivers, that mean , i can't go online, that means i can;t donwload drivers, that means i have to kill the installation | 12:35 |
| Lazuroth78 | but I think your right I think my keyboard needs to be cleaned | 12:35 |
| Lazuroth78 | windows 7 your screwed if it don't find your wireless drivers | 12:36 |

| Lazuroth78 | nice | 12:37 |
| heyuxiang | nothing can't be that easy to create the win7 usb boot flash. | 12:37 |
| heyuxiang | under linux | 12:37 |
| Lazuroth78 | lol | 12:38 |
| heyuxiang | but in windows? there is no east way to make a bootable windows 7 usb flash. | 12:38 |
| Lazuroth78 | I don't know how to make a boot disk for ubuntu as far as that goes | 12:38 |
| angs | is http://ubuntuforums.org/ an official Ubuntu forum? | 12:39 |
| heyuxiang | Lazuroth78: very very easy. just download the .iso file. using the linux command: dd | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | heyuxiang: I believe you can use unetbootin if you format the stick NTFS first (using Windows) | 12:39 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| Lazuroth78 | ok in term you just put dd and that is it | 12:40 |
| heyuxiang | ActionParsnip: i was talking about creating a bootable windows 7 usb flash drive. | 12:40 |

| angs | thank you | 12:41 |
| heyuxiang | long time no using English, i forget how to say it. | 12:41 |
| Lazuroth78 | I will need more detail on how to make the ubuntu boot disk | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | heyuxiang: yes, and I have read you can use unetbootin.... | 12:42 |
| heyuxiang | Lazuroth78: boot usb is better i guess | 12:42 |
| Lazuroth78 | ok how do I do that then | 12:42 |
| blazemore | heyuxiang: Lazuroth78 The program I use on Windows to make both Windows and Linux bootable USBs is "Linux Live USB" http://www.linuxliveusb.com | 12:42 |

| Lazuroth78 | I am getting a Terra drive for my laptop on the first can you give any name of name brand that work well with ubuntu | 12:53 |
| Lazuroth78 | for external tera drives | 12:54 |
| blazemore | Lazuroth78: Any external USB hard drive will work with Ubuntu | 12:54 |
| compdoc | Laurenceb, that amount has grown very rapidly since it started a few days ago. I looks as if they will meet the goal | 12:54 |
| Lazuroth78 | ok cool | 12:54 |
| Lazuroth78 | I really should change my name to linux virgin lol | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | heyuxiang: you say CD is slow, are you in a hurry? | 12:55 |

| prodnix | Hi all, so I have customised a livecd and I have added it to my PXE server and all is well except 1 change which I made. I editted fstab to automount a windows server share. Any ideas of how i can implement this? Is putting is in rc.local a viable option? | 12:57 |
| blazemore | Lazuroth78: Are you wanting a recommendation for a different terminal? | 12:57 |
| blazemore | !patience | prodnix | 12:57 |
| ubottu | prodnix: 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/ | 12:57 |
| anders_ | I think you can copy using crt+shift+c. | 12:57 |
| prodnix | lol ubottu need to be made aware of the hack :D | 12:58 |
| Lazuroth78 | no I figured out to use the orginal term and stay away from the x term I have have not tried the ux term yet | 12:58 |
| Lazuroth78 | don't know the differance | 12:58 |
| blazemore | prodnix: Well noticed, but I doubt it's worth the effort at this point | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | prodnix: does the netry in /etc/fstab mount ok once you hit the desktop? | 12:58 |
| prodnix | hehe | 12:58 |
| blazemore | Lazuroth78: They all do the same thing basically. They all just run your shell. The differences are in graphical features. I personally recommend Terminator, it's what I use all day at work because you can split and group terminal windows within the main window | 12:59 |
| prodnix | ActionParsnip: the change seems to have disappeared completely when i cat /etc/fstab | 12:59 |
| Lazuroth78 | I try to stay out of term as much as I possibly can I am a bit intemidated by it | 13:00 |
| prodnix | ActionParsnip: fstab looks nothing like it did when i was editting it, looks like its generated on boot or something of that nature | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | prodnix: then you will need to add it, or add a mount command in rc.local | 13:00 |
| StarOnD | which tv tuner card which is easily available in india is compatible with Ubuntu 13.04 ? any one in here would know ? | 13:00 |
| MonkeyDust | Lazuroth78 learning how to use it, helps you to not being intimidated by it | 13:00 |
| blazemore | Lazuroth78: Nothing wrong with that, although don't be intimidated by it. Sometimes graphical utilities are better, but some tasks just lend themselves better to a terminal-based workflow | 13:00 |
| streulma | how do I update my server without kernel upgrade ? | 13:00 |
| blazemore | streulma: sudo apt-get upgrade | 13:00 |
| streulma | sudo apt-get upgrade --show-upgraded ? | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | streulma: you could apt-pin the kernel package | 13:01 |
| blazemore | I didn't think the server updated the kernel without dist-upgrade | 13:01 |
| blazemore | I might be wrong though, Puppet deals with everything for me | 13:01 |
| prodnix | ActionParsnip: Thats what i thought, i think rc.local is my only option but wasnt sure if that would work as livecds act very wierdly for obvious reasons | 13:02 |
| streulma | oh yes, packages kept back | 13:02 |
| Lazuroth78 | yeah I am going to get a book on ubuntu term commands and sit down and really learn it | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | prodnix: should technnically work, the LAN will also have come up too, fstab is processed before the networking comes up | 13:02 |
| blazemore | Lazuroth78: None of the commands are specific to ubuntu | 13:02 |
| prodnix | ActionParsnip: TYVM :) | 13:03 |
| Lazuroth78 | so once I learn commands they go to any linux | 13:03 |
| blazemore | Lazuroth78: In short: yes | 13:03 |
| Lazuroth78 | awsome | 13:03 |
| Lazuroth78 | I thought each os had it own set of commands | 13:03 |
| blazemore | Lazuroth78: In the way that when you learn to drive a car you can essentially drive any car, but don't expect the cup-holder to be in the same place | 13:03 |
| Lazuroth78 | lol | 13:04 |

| Lazuroth78 | good way to put that | 13:04 |

I can login into wi-fi that has passwords that have letters in them but when the passwords are all numeric as the one at my home is, I can't login.

It reduced the framerate on the vgl_gears test by quite a bit though (but I don't think that's too important to me). | 13:19 |

| codephobic | blazemore, both on this machine and on another machine on the same LAN. | 13:21 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: CIFS or NFS? | 13:21 |
| codephobic | I had it setup so fstab mounted //<ip address> /directory cifs ... | 13:21 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: sorry - sharing using MS Windows networking? | 13:21 |
| codephobic | mbeierl, both with an ubuntu server vm in Windows 7 and with a bunch of different vms hosted on this ubuntu. | 13:22 |
| blazemore | codephobic: I'd just go about setting up a normal Samba share, the fact they're VMs is a red herring | 13:22 |
| usr13 | codephobic: Very good. | 13:22 |
| codephobic | blazemore, hmm, I normally share folders by just setting the share permission within the gui, but that doesn't seem to have worked as far as the VMs are concerned. | 13:23 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: so yes, to share from Ubuntu there is the right-click dropdown menu that will guide you through setting up the share as the "server side". For mounting the share, you can use /etc/fstab | 13:24 |
| codephobic | I can't seem to access the folder nor provide a proper address: <ip address>/folder/path/ | 13:24 |
| usr13 | codephobic: You can use samba and nfs on the same share. I use nfs for Linux clients and samba for MS Windows ones. I do both. It's pretty straight forward. | 13:24 |
| codephobic | mbeierl, that's pretty much what I've been trying but I'm definitely mucking something up. | 13:24 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: For my fstab, I have //server/share /media/public cifs user=guest,dom=WORKGROUP,sec=none 0 0 | 13:25 |
| ActionParsnip | mbeierl: no password? | 13:25 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: if your share requires a specific username password combo, instead of guest, then you need to look into credentials files | 13:25 |
| mbeierl | ActionParsnip: for my private home network, no I have an open dropbox share | 13:26 |

| usr13 | codephobic: Do you have your PC set to static IP? (It makes things easier.) Many routers have option for static lease, which is to say that it gives the same IP to a PC each time it boots up. | 13:26 |

| codephobic | ^^ that's how my Nas shares are at present | 13:26 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: wait- you have ntfs there as the filesystem type | 13:27 |
| codephobic | but I use ntfs for the shares on this local machine (sharing directories from a bunch of NTFS formatted/windows disks) | 13:27 |
| codephobic | oops | 13:27 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: should that not be cifs? ntfs is a local filesystem only, not network | 13:27 |

| === super is now known as Guest19227 | ||
| usr13 | codephobic: I just don't think /media/ is the best place for that. What kind of files are they? | 13:33 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: the no such device or address is calling out to me. I would question if the IP address is still where you think it is. Go on that box (and if it's Windows) do an ipconfig /all from a dos box? | 13:33 |
| codephobic | web, illustrator, psd, system settings ... that's just the root folder | 13:34 |
| vishnu_ | hello | 13:35 |
| vishnu_ | any one there | 13:35 |
| mbeierl_ | !ask | vishnu_ | 13:35 |
| ubottu | vishnu_: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 13:35 |
| codephobic | mbeierl, the ip address is of this machine. I'm pretty certain it's the correct address | 13:35 |
| usr13 | codephobic: Actually, I made a mistake too. Should be: 192.168.1.7:office/ /media/work nfs rw,user,nolock,nocto,actimeo=3600 | 13:35 |
| codephobic | usr13, ah ok I'll give that a try | 13:36 |
| vishnu_ | thanx | 13:36 |
| usr13 | codephobic: Notice the : instead of / 192.168.1.7:office and not slash at the end so: | 13:36 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: what OS is on 192.168.1.7? | 13:36 |
| usr13 | 192.168.1.7:office /media/work nfs rw,user,nolock,nocto,actimeo=3600 | 13:36 |
| usr13 | 192.168.1.7:/what/ever/office /media/work nfs rw,user,nolock,nocto,actimeo=3600 | 13:37 |
| mbeierl | The reason I ask is usr13's fstab entry is for NFS, and if that is Windows, it won't be serving up NFS... | 13:37 |
| codephobic | mbeierl, it's ubuntu (this host machine) | 13:37 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: ok. | 13:37 |
| codephobic | the vm I'm trying to setup is also ubuntu (12.04 LTS server) | 13:37 |
| usr13 | codephobic: This is not for a nfs share? | 13:38 |
| usr13 | codephobic: So it *is* nfs. Right? | 13:38 |
| codephobic | usr13, I need to set the share on both windows and ubuntu/debian vms, but this specific examples is ubuntu to ubuntu | 13:40 |
| usr13 | codephobic: Ok, then use the example I showed you. But correct the path(s) as needed. | 13:41 |
| codephobic | I tried the nfs example you suggested, but got an "bad superblock" error | 13:41 |
| mbeierl_ | codephobic, you eventually will need to get the Windows share working too, and that will be another method. | 13:41 |
| usr13 | codephobic: And set your exports file as needed | 13:41 |
| codephobic | mbeierl, I think windows uses cifs to communicate with linux, no? | 13:41 |
| vishnu_ | hi guy can we delay the boot up time so that i can show off my new splash screen | 13:42 |
| codephobic | usr13, exports file? | 13:42 |
| Wulf | vishnu_: is that a grub splash screen? | 13:42 |
| mbeierl | codephobic: yes, it will need to use cifs. The setup you are working on with usr13 is NFS, which is a different filesystem. You would need to make sure you have nfs client and server installed for that | 13:42 |
| vishnu_ | ya | 13:42 |
| Wulf | vishnu_: yes, it's possible. | 13:42 |
| usr13 | codephobic: /etc/exports should have line like: /office 192.168.1.0/24(rw) #If that is the actual path. | 13:42 |
| vishnu_ | thanks wulf | 13:43 |
| codephobic | ah | 13:43 |
| Wulf | vishnu_: you're welcome | 13:43 |
| vishnu_ | but how | 13:43 |
| Mosselman | hey guys, I have a question about recording video from my webcam through command-line. | 13:43 |
| Wulf | vishnu_: don't know. Did you rtfm? | 13:43 |
| vishnu_ | what is rtfm | 13:43 |
| Wulf | vishnu_: read the fascinating manual | 13:43 |
| BluesKaj | Wulf, don't , it's not funny either | 13:44 |
| Mosselman | I have found a command to use with ffmpeg online: `ffmpeg -f oss -i /dev/dsp…` I have no '/dev/dsp'. I have read that it has been replaced with libav or something, but how can I use that in the ffmpeg command? | 13:44 |
| mbeierl | Wulf, if you don't have an example, don't tell people to go away. | 13:44 |
| vaurdan | Hey guys | 13:44 |
| usr13 | Mosselman: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5907624/ | 13:44 |
| Wulf | mbeierl: I told him to read. I know that it's easy to find in the docs. | 13:44 |
| vaurdan | anyone knows why when I'm installing virtualbox, it asks me to remove gnome-terminal? :o | 13:45 |
| === Guest19227 is now known as love | ||
| Mosselman | usr13: thanks, but I don't have /dev/dsp | 13:45 |
| usr13 | codephobic: You have to use the *complete* path. | 13:45 |
| vishnu_ | its really happens! | 13:45 |
| Wulf | Mosselman: you're probably using alsa or pulseaudio | 13:45 |
| ActionParsnip | vaurdan: where is virtualbox installing from? | 13:45 |
| k1l_ | !rtfm | Wulf | 13:46 |
| ubottu | Wulf: Acronyms or statements like noob, jfgi, stfu, or rtfm are not welcome in this channel. Period. | 13:46 |
| vaurdan | downloaded .deb from their site | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vaurdan: the virtualbox repo, or the ubuntu repos? | 13:46 |
| Mosselman | Wulf: probably, what should I use instead then? I have no idea how this works. | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vaurdan: thats why then | 13:46 |
| vaurdan | now I just tried from ubuntu repos, and it works | 13:46 |
| BluesKaj | moss just replace ffmpeg with libav , the command strings are supposed to work the same for both | 13:46 |
| vaurdan | wirdo :o | 13:46 |
| Wulf | Mosselman: what are you trying to do? | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vaurdan: I suggest you let the guys know | 13:46 |
| BluesKaj | Mosselman,^ | 13:46 |
| vaurdan | I'll fill a bug report :) | 13:46 |
| vaurdan | in virtualbox site | 13:46 |
| Mosselman | Wulf: record video from webcam through command-line | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vaurdan: why not use the one from the ubuntu repos which is known to be good? | 13:46 |
| vaurdan | 'cause I didn't checked first the repos | 13:46 |
| vaurdan | just tried right now | 13:46 |
| vaurdan | ehehhe | 13:46 |
| Wulf | Mosselman: your camera will probably not use a sound device | 13:46 |
| ActionParsnip | vaurdan: sudo apt-get install virtualbox-ose done | 13:47 |
| Wulf | Mosselman: is it a usb camera? | 13:47 |
| Mosselman | Wulf: 'dap' is just for audio? | 13:47 |
| Mosselman | Wulf: yep | 13:47 |
| vaurdan | btw, another question: there is any way to configure webcam (exposure, etc etc)? | 13:47 |
| Mosselman | I think it has audio, but whatever, video is fine for now | 13:47 |
| blazemore | vaurdan: That's configured on a per-app basis I think | 13:47 |
| Wulf | Mosselman: well, maybe it is alsa. Check if alsa shows you the camera device | 13:47 |
| codephobic | usr13, hmm, the folder "office" is actually on another disk, and I have setup a path with fstab to /office, so when I configured the fstab on the vm, I used <ip address>/office (and am now trying <ip address>:office) | 13:47 |
| Wulf | Mosselman: "aplay -L" or so | 13:47 |
| vaurdan | I can't find that option on skype though | 13:47 |
| Wulf | Mosselman: or arecord -l | 13:48 |

| blazemore | vaurdan: I don't have Skype installed right now, but I'm sure there are video settings | 13:48 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| Mosselman | Wulf yep it shows it | 13:48 |
| BluesKaj | Mosselman, I'll repeat in case you missed it , just replace ffmpeg with libav , the command strings are supposed to work the same for both | 13:48 |
| Mosselman | what is the alsa equivalent of /dev/dsp? do you happen to know? | 13:48 |
| vaurdan | Yup, there are, but it only allows me to select the camera... | 13:48 |
| vaurdan | I'm going to try luvcview | 13:49 |
| Wulf | Mosselman: "man ffmpeg", search for alsa. Not sure if suits your needs, though | 13:49 |
| usr13 | codephobic: What is the full path to /office/ ? | 13:49 |
| blazemore | vaurdan: No option to reveal advanced settings? | 13:49 |
| vaurdan | no :o | 13:49 |
| usr13 | codephobic: .... on the server end. | 13:49 |
| Mosselman | Wulf thanks | 13:49 |
| Mosselman | BluesKaj: thanks, Ill give that a try | 13:49 |
| Mosselman | I missed it | 13:49 |
| vaurdan | skype since was bought by microsoft is so shitty in its linux version.... | 13:49 |
| codephobic | the full path on the server is: /office/ | 13:49 |
| blazemore | vaurdan: Skype for Linux has always been sub-par compared to the Windows version | 13:50 |
| Bauer | vaurdan: configuring video camera is done via a driver/device, not via skype settings in linux | 13:50 |
| blazemore | Bauer: Is that the case? I stand corrected then, sorry vaurdan | 13:50 |
| Bauer | blazemore: I remember tinkering with webcam long ago, you tweak the device, not the settings in skype. dont rememebr the details | 13:51 |
| vaurdan | blazemore, yes, I know, but since microsoft bought it, is so unstable on ubuntu | 13:51 |
| usr13 | codephobic: So use the exports line I showed you and it should work for you. | 13:51 |
| joshu | when doing a new ubuntu desktop 13.04 install from the livecd is there a way to not install any extra/ additional applications apart from the essential base system? | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | joshu: that is default, just dont select to install updates or codecs | 13:52 |
| ActionParsnip | joshu: if yoou want bare basics you can use the minimal install | 13:52 |
| Mosselman | Thanks guys (Wulf BluesKaj) it worked. Now just the adio | 13:52 |
| Mosselman | audio | 13:52 |
| Bauer | I have trouble migrating from my HDd to SSD drive :( Latest attempt I tried following http://askubuntu.com/questions/40372/how-to-move-ubuntu-to-an-ssd andcp -ax /media/hd /media/ssd copies like /media/ssd/hd instead of copying to ssd folder.. Or can anyone instruct me how to migrate it properly? | 13:53 |
| joshu | ActionParsnip oh ok I thought you had to do something else to specify that | 13:54 |
| blazemore | Bauer: The fact one is an SSD and one is an HDD is irrelevant - you need instructions on how to move an Ubuntu installation from one disk to another | 13:54 |
| vaurdan | does anyone has an idea when are the foruns coming back? | 13:54 |
| blazemore | Bauer: So if you try searching for that, you might find more useful resources than if you search about SSDs | 13:54 |
| usr13 | codephobic: And it should have permissions 755 for directory and 644 for files and owned by group users | 13:54 |
| blazemore | vaurdan: We only know what it says on the announcement page | 13:54 |
| Bauer | good idea blazemore , will give it a try.. thanks. unless someone answers faster :) | 13:55 |
| codephobic | usr13, just wrote the exports as you suggested. do I need to restart/reboot anything? | 13:55 |
| blazemore | joshu: Take a look at http://askubuntu.com/a/207241 | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | joshu: there are ticky boxes to install extra stuff at install time, just read the screen | 13:56 |
| usr13 | codephobic: Not sure, but just restarting nfs will do. sudo service nfs restart | 13:57 |
| codephobic | k | 13:57 |
| Bauer | blazemore: the general instructions all point to using gparted to "clone" the partitions and then install grub on it. problem is that afterwards, I cant login on X. when I login on text mode, I get error after logging in like : setreuid operation failed | 13:58 |
| usr13 | codephobic: And you can set up that same directory for a samba share as well. | 13:58 |
| usr13 | codephobic: sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart | 14:00 |
| Mosselman | Video works well now, but when using audio it messes up (hardly any file size, video is frozen image and audio is only a fraction of the time and inaccurate) | 14:00 |

| Wulf | PandinusImperato: source of the information? | 14:03 |

| qwebirc42327 | I'm trying to download it onto a USB but it's taking forever. But eventually USB, yeah. | 14:06 |
| blazemore | zerotrack: No, Ubuntu Single SignOn has not been compromised. Only vbulletin has been exploited | 14:06 |
| Wulf | lukicat: sounds old. Can you not use the current version? | 14:06 |
| rantic | zerotrack: The services do not tie into each other. In other words, your ubuntuforums account has been compromised but this didn't give them access to your details at launchpad or ask ubuntu. They are unrelated in that respect. | 14:06 |
| blazemore | qwebirc42327: You just boot from your installation medium and follow the instructions in the installer | 14:06 |
| qwebirc42327 | Ok! Thanks | 14:07 |

When I force the bug, the system goes back to gdm log in. After that I can login to a graphical environment. A call trace for the event is then left on another (non graphical) tty. How do I get the call trace from this tty, so that i can attach it to my report? | 14:11 |
| joshu | on the laptop I'm testing (HP 655 on the ubuntu hardware certified list) why can't I change display brightness with the open-source default amd driver gallion, but with the propiertary fglrx I can? Everything seems to work otherwise, external monitors, mirroring etc, just not display brightness. | 14:12 |
| codephobic | ActionParsnip, that sounds too powerful for me, I might end up compromising my system unintentionally. I'm just surprised I could get cifs to work by simply following googled instructions and adapt it to windows shares but can't get my linuxes sharing... | 14:12 |
| usr13 | codephobic: Looks like you are trying to mount it from the server. The fstab entry goes in the client. The client, (another PC), will mount the [remote] nfs share. After each rewrite of the /etc/exports file, I *think* you need to restart nfs deamon: sudo service nfs-kernel-server restart | 14:12 |
| codephobic | usr13, I just tried restarting the nfs-kernel | 14:12 |
| codephobic | but got the same error. | 14:12 |

| codephobic | usr13, but my VM is on the LAN across a bridge and is accessible by all my other VMs and the other PCs on the LAN ... but yeah, I'll go read ... I think I need to think this through again. | 14:27 |
| codephobic | yep, got Guest Additions installed. | 14:27 |
| usr13 | codephobic: It depends. You can share with any or all PCs on the LAN, (linux ones), as I showed you with nfs as well, but if you want to share from guest to host, see the instructions in the URL I gave you. | 14:28 |
| usr13 | codephobic: The nfs settings will work if you get the /etc/exports and /etc/fstab entries correct. | 14:30 |

| CatKiller | Hi there! I've made the stupid mistake of installing Ubuntu desktop instead of server | 14:40 |
| CatKiller | and now I'm stuck with this god awful automatic network configuration | 14:40 |
| CatKiller | is there a way to completely disable this weird network configuration daemon whatever its name is | 14:41 |
| CatKiller | it completely disregards settings set in /etc/network/interfaces | 14:41 |
| CatKiller | and overwrites my config every 3-4 minutes | 14:41 |
| MonkeyDust | CatKiller now the installation is still clean, why not simply replace it with a server installation? easier, faster, cleaner! | 14:41 |
| CatKiller | MonkeyDust: This is a test server I'm only going to need for 5 minutesd | 14:42 |
| CatKiller | just want to verify something | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | MidnightNinja: what is the output of: sudo apt-get install pastebinit; clear; dpkg -l | grep nvidia | pastebinit | 14:42 |
| CatKiller | but I need to be able to hold a config for these 5 minutes :p | 14:42 |
| ActionParsnip | MidnightNinja: a URL will be generated | 14:42 |
| CatKiller | I find it amazing that on the desktop edition it's not possible to configure the network through the command line | 14:42 |
| CatKiller | it probably is | 14:42 |
| CatKiller | but googling for it only shows results explaining how to change /etc/network/interfaces | 14:43 |
| MonkeyDust | CatKiller an old post, 10.04, hope it's useful http://www.liberiangeek.net/2010/08/quickly-disable-network-manager-ubuntu-10-04-lucid-lynx/ | 14:43 |
| CatKiller | thanks, I'll try that | 14:43 |
| CatKiller | I so much hate this tool | 14:44 |
| CatKiller | in fact even the graphical interface version of it too is useless | 14:44 |
| MonkeyDust | CatKiller luckily, you didnt install windows by accident | 14:45 |
| CatKiller | MonkeyDust: I'll say it here, I actually prefer the Windows network management, so bad it is, comparded to Ubuntu's NetworkManager and graphical tools | 14:45 |
| CatKiller | it's that bad for me | 14:45 |

| MonkeyDust | CatKiller the network applet has the option to uncheck 'enable networking', maybe that's something of interest to you | 14:48 |
| CatKiller | MonkeyDust: I had tried before and it didn't really change much | 14:50 |
| CatKiller | MonkeyDust: The solution you gave me is perfect | 14:50 |
| CatKiller | MonkeyDust: It reads configuration from /etc/network/interface first and does not override it | 14:50 |
| CatKiller | MonkeyDust: The file location is slightly different but it's perfect | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MidnightNinja: then how did you install the driver? | 14:50 |
| ActionParsnip | MidnightNinja: I recommend you use the additional drivers app in the system settings | 14:51 |
| MidnightNinja | the nvidiabl driver? | 14:51 |
| MonkeyDust | CatKiller hope it helps you liking ubuntu a bit more | 14:51 |
| ActionParsnip | MidnightNinja: it installs the driver for you | 14:51 |
| MidnightNinja | ActionParsnop: I went to that page, and nothing showed up | 14:51 |

| MidnightNinja | ActionParsnip: I downloaded them from the NVIDIA site, and manually ran it from a terminal | 14:52 |
| ActionParsnip | MidnightNinja: why, when there are packages for it, it will also auto update when the packages update, just like your applications | 14:54 |

| t0phux | Well, my 12.04 Server will not boot anymore. Originally, I had problems because my /boot was full during a kernel update. This made mismatched linux-image-server and linux-image-generic. I rebooted into recovery and got the kernel stuff cleared up, and reinstalled grub for good measure. Now when I try and boot I just stuck on the disk drive for /tmp is not ready, and can't get past this point. When I try and skip it tells me it ca | 14:56 |
| t0phux | any advice? | 14:56 |
| MidnightNinja | moza: because theres a high chance of data corruption | 14:56 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: Was just looking at your conversation with CatKiller, and wondering why just uninstalling network-manager is not a simplier option? | 14:57 |
| MidnightNinja | moza: if you really wanted to do it, I'd format the swap so it is also free, and extend the rest of the partition | 14:57 |
| CatKiller | usr13: It's somehow near impossible, and time consuming | 14:57 |
| blazemore | usr13: Doesn't uninstalling network-manager break ubuntu-desktop? | 14:57 |
| ThePendulum | Greetings | 14:57 |
| moza | ok MidnightNinja, i can do that. Should i do it from the live cd and not while running then? | 14:57 |

| MidnightNinja | moza: run gparted from a live usb | 14:58 |
| usr13 | ActionParsnip: CatKiller blazemore I don't know how it could break ubuntu-desktop?? sudo apt-get urge network-manager* ? I dono, just asking. | 14:58 |
| jhpy1024 | Anyone know how much the Ubuntu Edge will cost if it gets funded and it's released? | 14:58 |
| ThePendulum | I have indirectly reinstalled the Ubuntu desktop (including, apparently, Compiz). This made the 'sticky windows' option disappear from the Compiz Config Settings Manager. I noticed it wasn't present in CCSM in Ubuntu 13.04 either. Does anyone know how to enable sticky windows without it? | 14:58 |

| usr13 | CatKiller: I followed the URL and yea, looks simple enough, but I'm pretty sure that ubuntu-server does not have network-manager and that /etc/network/interfaces config file works independently of network-manager, needs no part of it and so uninstalling network-manager would have no effect, as far as I know. I've un-installed network-manager before and hat no problem. Just wondering if things have changed. I don't know. Maybe I'll experiment with it and see | 15:02 |
| CatKiller | usr13: The server version doesn't have it indeed | 15:02 |
| CatKiller | usr13: I'll try next time alright | 15:02 |
| usr13 | CatKiller: Yea, and I'm not really sury why I'd have software installed that is disabled and not used. | 15:03 |

| L3top | Just making sure. I assume this is in case you have more than 2 nics. It doesn't look wrong to me... but it is not my area. | 15:09 |

| L3top | rawrmonster: ^ | 15:09 |
| rawrmonster | L3top: yes there is two nic's because you have to be able to have one connected to the modem while one is connected to a switch | 15:09 |
| L3top | Just making sure. I assume this is in case you have more than 2 nics. | 15:10 |
| L3top | eg 3+ | 15:10 |
| rawrmonster | L3top: nope just 2 its for a small office | 15:10 |
| L3top | otherwise you should just specify eth0 | 15:10 |

| checoimg | rwarmonster : That's what you would think but no | 15:14 |

| checoimg | raub : Well I input the password and the screen flashes black and doesn't log , it just goes back to blank and ask for my password again | 15:15 |
| L3top | rawrmonster: I would let it detect and assign. For instance if a nic died, and another was installed, or for whatever reason udev is written oddly due to screwing around... it will not work. | 15:16 |
| L3top | rawrmonster: s/let it/write it to/ | 15:16 |
| MonkeyDust | checoimg can you change the DE and login? also: type ctrl-alt F1 and use df -h to make sure you don't have 100% full anywhere | 15:16 |

| tree49 | actually i compiled kernel in ubuntu and i found problem after rebooting graphic driver problem then i tried to boot windows it said repairing disk and didnt halt repairing for hours so i used pendrive to boot i tried to install ubuntu but it does no proceed after checking power plug free spce internet | 15:46 |
| t0phux | raub: I got it to boot to the login screen after some waiting (disabled swap, and added tmpfs in fstab) So what doe sthat mean? | 15:46 |
| holstein | checoimg: you can literally move all .config files out of your home temporarily, and test the login | 15:46 |
| blazemore | tree49: Are you on the LiveCD now? | 15:46 |

| tree49 | i m from bootable pendrive | 15:47 |
| k1l_ | checoimg: again: if it works with the regular kernel its quite clear where the problem is | 15:47 |
| blazemore | tree49: You can follow these instructions, you won't have to reinstall your Ubuntu. Just don't try booting into your custom installed kernel, choose one of the default ones instead | 15:48 |
| raub | t0phux: you might want to check the partitions you disabled | 15:48 |

| savid | It appears network manager just went crazy on my system. I lost internet connectivity, and noticed a lot of inet traffic in my system monitor. I used jnettop to show what was hogging it, and something was flooding my DNS server with UDP packets on port 53. Eventually I found out it was the dnsmasq program doing it. What would cause this to happen? | 17:25 |
| savid | I've since disabled network manager and went to manual configuration | 17:25 |
| DJones | Gues88604: Please fix your connection | 17:26 |
| DeltaHeavy | prashant_123456: Don't know, only got snippy responses from #ubuntuforums | 17:26 |

| prashant_123456 | k1l_, thanks | 17:26 |
| savid | If my computer was spitting out tons of packets on UDP port 53, would that mean my computer is performing a DOS attack? | 17:29 |
| savid | (ie, it's been compromised)? | 17:29 |

| awktion | many webpages have hundreds of elements, and good sites split this up amongst several cnames | 17:32 |

| awktion | dubhdara: | 17:39 |
| dubhdara | okay next then | 17:39 |
| awktion | whenever you run into issues like that, use the alternate | 17:39 |
| sudobash | maybe the WM that ubuntu has chosen sucks ass? | 17:39 |
| awktion | the alternate disk typically dumps the live portion and adds in more drivers | 17:39 |
| dubhdara | hold on i used the min alternate | 17:39 |
| sudobash | if I stay in CLI it works fine :-| | 17:40 |
| wilee-nilee | sudobash, your experience in no way represents any body else, don't lump others, or use it as a opinion which sounds like fud. | 17:40 |

| Catbuntu | Hello hallo; if you install `xubuntu-desktop` in a normal Ubuntu 13.04, will it be slower than a normal Xubuntu installation? | 17:40 |
| awktion | Catbuntu: xubuntu install and xubuntu-desktop install are perported to be the same | 17:41 |
| [Raiden] | Catbuntu: no | 17:41 |
| awktion | in reality there's a few extra config bits that get done by the distro installer | 17:41 |
| awktion | so yes | 17:41 |
| awktion | do two side by side and they will NOT be the same | 17:41 |
| awktion | but very close, and i think the packages should be pretty close | 17:42 |

| awktion | ekz: yes/no | 17:42 |
| awktion | both | 17:42 |

| ekz | what version are you running? | 17:43 |

| awktion | thats not the same, its a /vm/chrooted linux | 17:43 |
| Kunal | 128 mb ram :P | 17:43 |

| sudobash | dubhdara, yes it will probably get you a graphicial environment | 17:44 |
| awktion | ubuntu for arm is first party install, meaning direct hardware access and IS the os | 17:44 |
| dubhdara | that is the video card | 17:44 |

| k1l_ | Kunal: you are overpowering that vps | 17:44 |
| ekz | thank you very much my friend | 17:44 |
| Kunal | hmm.. | 17:44 |
| dubhdara | the mac has lots more memory chips on it | 17:44 |
| dubhdara | its pretty fast | 17:44 |
| Kunal | so nothing can be done? | 17:44 |
| k1l_ | Kunal: its using more ram than its got. so dont start a desktop there. that will not work | 17:44 |
| awktion | https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM | 17:44 |

| Kunal | ohk | 17:45 |
| Kunal | thx | 17:45 |
| Catbuntu | I know [Raiden] and awktion, but that would be having everything of Unity AND Xfce, not only Xfce, so it would be slower? | 17:45 |

| awktion | http://askubuntu.com/questions/292394/how-to-completely-remove-unity-and-replace-it-with-cinnamon | 17:47 |
| awktion | there's one example of removing unity and putting in cinnamon | 17:47 |
| awktion | you could put in the dwm of your choice | 17:47 |
| Catbuntu | What sucks awktion? | 17:48 |
| k1l_ | Catbuntu: there is no reason for that to be slower | 17:48 |
| k1l_ | Catbuntu: you can switch the desktops when selecting on the login screen | 17:48 |
| awktion | having xfce and /gnome/unity/kde/whatever side by side | 17:48 |
| Catbuntu | I know k1l_ | 17:48 |
| awktion | the -desktop packages are meta, so they pull in a whole env | 17:48 |
| awktion | like text editor, browser, file managers, everything | 17:49 |
| Catbuntu | I remember having kubuntu- and xubuntu-desktop in a normal Ubuntu install a year ago or so and yes it sucked that's true. | 17:49 |
| awktion | yeah | 17:49 |
| k1l_ | awktion: but things that dont get loaded because they are not needed dont slow anything down | 17:49 |
| awktion | i would multiboot | 17:49 |
| Catbuntu | But IIRC there's something you can do in the .desktop files to make them show in just one environment. | 17:49 |
| k1l_ | :/ | 17:49 |
| awktion | k1l_: that just shows youve not had it done | 17:49 |
| wilee-nilee | awktion, Removing unity is a waste of time The cinnamon install is just a few packages they share gnome 3. | 17:49 |
| awktion | it does make a difference | 17:49 |
| awktion | wilee-nilee: ah right, was a fast link | 17:49 |
| k1l_ | awktion: no | 17:49 |
| awktion | not sure if anyone made a comprehensive list | 17:49 |
| k1l_ | you are not right on that | 17:50 |
| awktion | k1l_: sorry bro but you really don't know what your talking about. | 17:50 |
| Pici | awktion: No it doesn't. Please stop spreading FUD | 17:50 |
| awktion | as evidenced by what's coming out of your irc client. | 17:50 |
| reisio | Catbuntu: uninstalling the other ones being the simplest way | 17:50 |
| awktion | its not fud Pici go do some benchmarks | 17:50 |
| wilee-nilee | awktion, the psychocats website has desktop lists | 17:50 |
| ekz | what would be the best basic startup configurations for ubuntu? how can i check whats running for startup and change it? | 17:50 |
| awktion | ~_~ | 17:50 |
| k1l_ | awktion: you are talking wrong and i already explained why. so stop that | 17:50 |
| reisio | ekz: 'service' command maybe | 17:50 |
| DeltaHeavy | awktion: You are wrong... | 17:50 |
| awktion | there is most certainly a difference between having 2-3GB of installed packages and 4-5GB | 17:51 |
| awktion | this is why there are so many minimal installs | 17:51 |
| awktion | BECAUSE of the differences | 17:51 |
| DeltaHeavy | Cinnamon and Unity use a lot of the same packages. | 17:51 |
| awktion | now, there's no issue having multiple window managers | 17:51 |
| reisio | mostly the space those package take up on the storage device, though | 17:51 |
| awktion | just don't bother with the whole environments | 17:51 |
| DeltaHeavy | Removing Unity from Ubuntu is going to cause you more headaches than it's worth. | 17:51 |
| awktion | no need for kate + gedit + mouse | 17:51 |
| k1l_ | awktion: stuff that is not needed by xubuntu-desktop doesnt get loaded when xubuntu is booted. so stop that FUD. EOD | 17:51 |
| awktion | again k1l_ the existance of those files on disk makes a difference | 17:52 |
| awktion | AND | 17:52 |
| DeltaHeavy | awktion: Files existing on a disk doesn't result in a performance hit. | 17:52 |
| awktion | there are several daemons started by each DWM that are unique | 17:52 |
| awktion | yes | 17:52 |
| awktion | yes it most certainly does | 17:52 |

| Lizards|Work | hdd vs ssd he may have a point | 17:53 |
| k1l_ | to clear that up. just having files on your hdds that are not used doesnt slow anything down. | 17:53 |
| Lizards|Work | but if it's ssd it's moot | 17:53 |
| DeltaHeavy | On an HDD there is a marginal, unnoticeable hit that shouldn't even be considered. | 17:53 |

| reisio | Catbuntu: most likely, you might check if the nvidia driver supports that specific model first | 17:54 |
| Catbuntu | Weird thing is that the sticker in the computer says it's an Intel Centrino, but if I look it up using software (even in Windows) it says Intel Core 2 Duo. | 17:54 |

| Catbuntu | Well I'm going to try Ubuntu 13.04 again :P | 17:56 |
| nirjhor | handbrake-gtk doesn't run anything | 17:56 |
| reisio | but if you want commandline, install ffmpeg instead | 17:56 |
| varunendra | ekz, but the services are hidden by default. You will have to edit relevant .desktop files in /etc/xdg/autostart directory for corresponding services/applications | 17:56 |
| Catbuntu | See you all later ♥ | 17:56 |
| reisio | peace | 17:56 |

| tvviztid | I had Lubuntu installed to a 120GB HDD. I put FreeDOS and the computer's last BIOS update onto a 1.44 Floppy and upgraded with no issue, but now I keep getting hung on the BIOS now(I've battery pulled to reset multiple times). The drive works perfectly on another machine I have here. I've tried every Master/Slave combo there is possible. Any suggestions? | 18:03 |

| vaurdan | hey | 18:10 |
| tvviztid | It is an old Gateway E-4000. They are very annoying to identify. Took me quite a while to find my correct model and search the deep ends of Google to get the last BIOS. | 18:10 |
| vaurdan | do you know why notifications sounds on skype always sound so crancky? | 18:10 |
| Lizards|Work | you're 100% you got a good flash on the BIOS? | 18:11 |
| tvviztid | Yes. Not long after I did it I booted FreeDOS live cd/Lubuntu/ and a few other Lightweight CDs I had laying around. | 18:12 |
| Lizards|Work | is the hdd set to bootable in BIOS? | 18:12 |
| tvviztid | I even flashed it again to make sure it. When it does want to boot I have it boot from a LiveUSB of Lubuntu. | 18:12 |
| tvviztid | I can't access the BIOS, it hangs on startup. | 18:12 |
| tvviztid | I've tried having everything unplugged but the HDD and still the same. | 18:13 |

| ikonia | Morgan_Freeman: no problem | 18:23 |
| reisio | voila: sounds like you tar'd it oddly in the first place | 18:23 |

| Halite | do-release upgrade then. On my first try at Ubuntu I didn't know how to shutdown and had to ask for a command to shut down. | 19:13 |

| explodes | First time settings up NFS to start on boot. editing /etc/fstab with "10.1.11.121:/video /stuff/media/jason-nfs/video nfs rw,hard,intr,auto,nolock 0 0" | 19:15 |
| explodes | sudo mount -a doesn't mount the folder, dmesg tells me nothing | 19:15 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Hey, guys... None of the three things you suggested worked. Every time it said failed. | 19:15 |
| bekks | explodes: Add "_netdev" to the mount options. | 19:15 |
| dacs | thank you folks for all the tips. i guess yeah it will take me a whole day to go through it step-by-step hoping that all goes smooth "which never happens at this end. i think am going to just do a fresh install. | 19:16 |
| explodes | bekks: Still nothing | 19:16 |
| explodes | la | 19:16 |
| werxxx | Lol | 19:17 |
| dacs | so how would one go about backing up a system like mine. i mean pkgs ,setting and few downloads i have | 19:18 |
| macrobat | oh, ubuntuforums is down | 19:18 |
| dacs | the whole hdd is 160GB so thats not a biggy | 19:18 |
| macrobat | dacs: back up /etc do you have /home on its own partition? | 19:18 |
| DeltaHeavy | macrobat: Change your password, the hashing algo they used is so weak they might as well have stored your passwords in plain text. | 19:18 |
| dacs | macrobat: yeah, under maintenance | 19:18 |
| macrobat | backups are a good thing to do :D | 19:19 |
| dacs | macrobat: but google offer a great feature "chached" | 19:19 |
| dacs | macrobat: thats how i got to my info | 19:20 |
| dacs | heheheh | 19:20 |
| dacs | macrobat: no i don't have '/home on its own partition ! | 19:21 |
| SunStar | is it possible to bind keyboard shortcuts to buttons on a game controller? (AKA why cant i use my XBOX controller as an HID?) | 19:21 |
| goddard | what is the calender applet called in unity? | 19:21 |
| * dacs light bulb!!! macrobat that is not a bad idea to have /home on its own partition | 19:21 | |
| dacs | i could 've avoid all this headache now if i had it partition separately! | 19:22 |
| macrobat | yes, makes maintenance easier | 19:22 |
| SunStar | dacs, yes. at least you know from now on. | 19:23 |
| trism | goddard: indicator-datetime ? | 19:23 |
| dacs | SunStar: lesson learned | 19:23 |
| dacs | which tool should i use to backup | 19:24 |
| macrobat | how much is recommended for a root partition these days? more than 30G? | 19:24 |
| SunStar | ^^ especially when you dont know how the box will be used | 19:25 |
| jpds | macrobat: / 6.3G 3.7G 2.4G 61% / | 19:25 |
| k1l | macrobat: / without /home is 10-20GB for a regular desktop | 19:25 |
| jpds | macrobat: Though I have /var on a separate partition using 2GB. | 19:25 |
| macrobat | oh, not more. good | 19:25 |
| Lizards|Work | can be less if you're running a headless server | 19:25 |
| k1l | macrobat: depends on how much you install etc. etc. you can get under 5GB if yuo want, but if you have plenty of space go with something from 10-20 | 19:26 |
| SunStar | i was told not to put var on its own drive (dont know why beyond messing with grep) | 19:26 |
| ihre | ./dev/mapper/vg00-root 9.9G 2.0G 7.4G 22% -> headless | 19:26 |
| raub | SunStar: what I found out is that if you put var on its own partition at install time you are ok. Changing it later may be exciting | 19:27 |
| dacs | is there a guide on how to setup these partition properly | 19:28 |
| SunStar | first time i tried out ubuntu i maxed out my 24GB root partition cuz i had a bit too much fun with software center) | 19:28 |
| ihre | dacs, manual partitioning, or using the Ubuntu installer? | 19:28 |
| dacs | cool , thank you ihre | 19:29 |
| dacs | i never thought that 10.10 doesn't have backup on it | 19:29 |
| dacs | ;) | 19:29 |
| dacs | in 12.10 i just type backup and pooff there it is | 19:29 |
| ihre | lol dacs I havent helped you in any way I believe | 19:30 |
| ihre | I was asking if you need a guide on manual partitioning (fdisk/parted/w/e) or using the Ubuntu installer ? | 19:30 |
| werxxx | Tell me about it | 19:31 |
| dacs | ihre: heheheh , manual partition guide will be good | 19:31 |
| Lunar_Lander | hi, is it OK to ask a question about the forum getting hacked here? | 19:31 |
| Lunar_Lander | I just read the e-mail | 19:31 |
| DJones | Lunar_Lander: I'd suggest #ubuntu-offtopic or #ubuntuforums | 19:31 |
| Lunar_Lander | ah thanks! | 19:32 |
| SunStar | dacs, 20GB "/", SWAP that is big enough to fit all the data getting dumped from ur RAM when going to sleep, and the rest to /home | 19:32 |
| Lizards|Work | swap should be 2x RAM | 19:32 |
| SunStar | well i never have a swap partition unless its a low end box | 19:33 |
| goddard | trism: is it? | 19:33 |
| rantic | Lizards|Work: Maybe in 2002, I'm not prepared to have 32gb of swap :p | 19:33 |
| [Raiden] | ) | 19:33 |
| goddard | trism: i have the clock in the right hand corner but not calender when i click it | 19:33 |
| reisio | these days swap should lean more towards equivalent to ram | 19:33 |
| dacs | backup - how? | 19:34 |
| Lizards|Work | rantic, why not, i do =p | 19:34 |
| reisio | dacs: I like rdiff-backup | 19:34 |
| rantic | It just seems like overkill, it made sense 5-7 years back. | 19:34 |
| werxxx | How to use swap | 19:34 |
| Lizards|Work | prolly get away with 1.5x RAM | 19:34 |
| SunStar | doont | 19:34 |
| reisio | rantic: long time ago | 19:34 |
| masterkiller2000 | i just set up ubuntu on my 64 bit laptop on i get a error say that ubuntu is unable to find a medium containing live file system. how do I fix this? | 19:34 |
| reisio | werxxx: as an end user you don't have to do much, the OS uses it | 19:34 |
| rantic | This is of course a completely subjective opinion and would change entirely on someones usage, I'm talking about the average user. | 19:34 |
| SunStar | the best way to use SWAP is not to use it | 19:34 |
| reisio | rantic: well, not completely | 19:35 |
| rantic | reisio: Oh? | 19:35 |
| wilee-nilee | werxxx, The OS uses swap you can make a swap in an install or with a partitioner, and you can control the swappiness. | 19:35 |
| werxxx | Thx | 19:35 |
| trism | goddard: can I see a screenshot? | 19:36 |
| reisio | Ubuntu will install with swap setup by default | 19:36 |
| Lizards|Work | ^^^ i don't think wubi installs did | 19:36 |
| rantic | man I would love the hud with fluxbox or openbox.. | 19:36 |
| reisio | Lizards|Work: thinking is overrated | 19:36 |
| trism | goddard: although in the options there is an option to disable the calendar, have you checked that? | 19:36 |
| wilee-nilee | Lizards|Work, Swap can be a casper-rw file rather that normal, not sure on a wubi though. | 19:37 |
| wilee-nilee | than* | 19:37 |
| goddard | trism: ya thats all it was i unchecked it for some reason | 19:38 |
| ihre | dacs, http://www.novell.com/coolsolutions/feature/19350.html is actually a pretty good write up on basic fdisk partitioning | 19:39 |
| varunendra | wilee-nilee, swap can be casper-rw file? Didn't get it. AFAIK, casper-rw stores changes while swap is volatile. | 19:40 |
| dacs | ihre: thank you , could you please point me to a good backup solution | 19:40 |
| wilee-nilee | varunendra, You can have a file that even exspands per need. | 19:41 |
| dlpenguinlover | Does anyone here have any experience with bazaar repos?? | 19:41 |
| ihre | well, I'm using BackupPC at home, for multiple hosts like my nas, desktop, router & whatnot | 19:41 |
| mmercer | has anyone else had issues getting ls --color=auto working on ubuntu server-12.04 | 19:41 |
| Pici | dlpenguinlover: Your question would likely be more on-topic for #bzr | 19:41 |
| mmercer | i can run byobu (which I am), and even the curses is all in color, but ls --color=auto does *not* output color. current TERM is set to screen (as is default for byobu)... using iterm2 on osx (which is fully compliant with all the normal term profiles) | 19:42 |
| mmercer | ubuntu is the only os i have this issue with, and its downright aggrevating | 19:42 |
| dlpenguinlover | Pici: okay thank you :) | 19:42 |
| Radiant | hey guys | 19:43 |
| wilee-nilee | varunendra, It may not be called a casper-rw as a internal, I think it is though, but I have used this for fun. http://pqxx.org/development/swapspace/ | 19:43 |
| Radiant | does anyone know how to set up laptop for runninig Dota 2 on Steam? | 19:43 |
| varunendra | wilee-nilee, taking a look... | 19:43 |
| chunkyhead | while setting up port forwarding for ssh what should be the local ip add?? | 19:43 |
| Radiant | i installed bumblebee,p rimus and nvidia experimental drivers | 19:44 |
| Radiant | but it still doensn't work well | 19:44 |
| Kitt3n | I don't know if this is the proper place for asking this, but when I try to run Half-Life 2 with AMD (from amd.com) drivers this happens after a few minutes http://79.160.126.77/stupid.jpg http://79.160.126.77/stupid2.jpg | 19:44 |
| ihre | dacs, you could have a look at https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/backup-shellscripts.html, or https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupPC | 19:44 |
| werxxx | Lol | 19:45 |
| wilee-nilee | varunendra, On a live cd with persistence it is a file, and I have made casper-rw partitions on a usb to exceed the 4 gig limit as well, but you know all this already I suspect. ;) | 19:45 |
| Kitt3n | Radiant, Linux and Nvidia doesn't mix well, as far as I know. What doesn't "work well"? | 19:45 |
| bekks | Kitt3n: Linux and Nvidia works perfect here for about 10 years now. | 19:45 |
| werxxx | Other video cards | 19:46 |
| checoimg | Hi everyone | 19:46 |
| Kitt3n | bekks, it tends to work great when it first starts to work, yah | 19:46 |
| werxxx | Hello | 19:46 |
| wilee-nilee | varunendra, File may not be the technical syntax though, lol, not sure the actual. | 19:46 |
| varunendra | wilee-nilee, I have an 8gb flash drive with that kind of setup (700 MB FAT32 for LIVE, 4+GB ext3 for casper-rw, rest NTFS) ;) | 19:47 |
| checoimg | I have some duplicates in the repositories when I do apt-get update | 19:47 |
| bekks | Kitt3n: You are the first one I met who isnt happy with Nvidia and Linux. | 19:47 |
| bekks | checoimg: Then remove the duplicates from your sources. | 19:47 |
| wilee-nilee | varunendra, Somnds like what I have done as well. | 19:47 |
| thiebaude | checoimg, did you check your software sources? | 19:47 |
| wilee-nilee | Sounds* | 19:47 |
| checoimg | Yes I don;t see duplicates just the UBuntu SDK team | 19:48 |
| varunendra | YeahRight, cuz that 4gb limit sucks ;) | 19:48 |
| checoimg | And UBUntu edgers something | 19:48 |
| checoimg | Qt5 Edgers | 19:48 |
| skulltip | I want to create a simple 2d game and distribute the binary/data, with little emphasis on the source if at all. what is recommended, freebasic? gambas3? python? SDL or sfml? What i want is for example an arch linux user to pick up the tar.gz unzip and play it. Or a .deb would be ok, gambas3 can create .deb files. | 19:48 |
| varunendra | YeahRight, sorry, didn't mean to call you ;) | 19:48 |
| wilee-nilee | checoimg, Look in etc/apt/sources.list.d for ppa's | 19:49 |

| dacs | ihre: well since my 10.10 is EOL i can't download any pkg from repo so i will copy my files manually | 19:49 |
| skulltip | 12.04 | 19:49 |
| wilee-nilee | dacs, You see the eol info from the bot yest? | 19:50 |
| wilee-nilee | yet* | 19:50 |

| bassmasta420 | I posted a question on ask ubuntu http://askubuntu.com/questions/324039/chroot-sftp-not-able-to-login | 19:56 |

| werxxx | Ok I go to work. Good bie everyone. Peace | 19:58 |
| checoimg | Bye | 19:59 |
| werxxx | Lol | 19:59 |
| Halite | I'm not sure if Ubuntu cannot detect Packard Bell's colour space requirements or if it is the hardware itself, but the colour profile I created in Color Settings assume the monitor output levels of green are slightly lower than all the others. This results in desirable effects sometimes - and undesirable ones other times. How do I control or fix my problem? | 20:05 |
| reisio | Halite: what's the problem by default? | 20:05 |
| Halite | reisio, I'm not entirely sure | 20:05 |
| reisio | ... | 20:06 |
| reisio | Halite: what's the problem as you perceive it by default? | 20:06 |
| Halite | oh.... | 20:06 |
| Halite | reisio, dark greys appear a slight green tint. | 20:06 |
| reisio | and it's not just the monitor? | 20:06 |
| Halite | To be honest it is only just noticable | 20:06 |
| Halite | it is not the monitor | 20:07 |
| reisio | how do you know? | 20:07 |
| Halite | I went into Color Settings, checked colour profile, and the TRC was different for the green graph. | 20:07 |
| reisio | so you haven't tried a different monitor | 20:08 |
| Halite | I'm on a laptop, cmon guys! | 20:08 |
| wilee-nilee | Halite, Hold on let me get my Karnac hat. | 20:08 |
| Halite | I'm running a Packard Bell Dot S | 20:09 |
| wilee-nilee | hmm I sense a disturbance in the force | 20:09 |
| Halite | I dualboot Windows (the first OS) with Ubuntu (secondary) and the TRC's defects have recently spread into Windows! | 20:10 |
| reisio | Halite: you keep saying that as if it matters :) | 20:10 |
| Lizards|Work | ... | 20:10 |
| Lizards|Work | Halite, if it's happening regardless of OS, it's hardware | 20:10 |
| reisio | can you try another monitor? | 20:10 |
| Halite | unless the OS's setting spreads | 20:10 |
| reisio | so your first suspicion is magic? :) | 20:11 |
| Halite | I doubt it is hardware | 20:11 |
| Halite | nope | 20:11 |
| Lizards|Work | do you have an external monitoy | 20:11 |
| Lizards|Work | s/oy/yo | 20:11 |
| Halite | my first suspicion is TRC and Ubuntu's greed to override the correct setting Windows had. (Which is strange because it is usually the other way round.) | 20:11 |
| Lizards|Work | uh | 20:12 |
| Lizards|Work | no | 20:12 |
| MonkeyDust | Halite windows settings have nothing to do with ubuntu settings, unless it's wubi | 20:12 |
| reisio | or hardware :p | 20:12 |
| SunStar | Halite, adjust the color profile, try loading a different color profile and check your driver's control panel to see what adjustments can be made there | 20:12 |
| Halite | MonkeyDust, surprise! It is wubi! | 20:12 |
| Halite | reisio, not hardware :p | 20:13 |
| reisio | Halite: yet to be determined :p | 20:13 |
| MonkeyDust | Halite wubi is not a real installation, better get rid of it | 20:13 |
| Halite | SunStar, Ubuntu won't let me whatever I install | 20:13 |
| Halite | MonkeyDust, don't make me kick you in the chickens | 20:13 |
| MonkeyDust | Halite try to behave, please | 20:13 |
| Halite | ok | 20:13 |
| Halite | ops: | 20:13 |
| ikonia | Halite: ? | 20:14 |
| Lizards|Work | Halite, can you boot a live distro and verify it's the hardware please | 20:14 |
| Halite | MonkeyDust, I'm behaving. I'm ill. I'm annoyed. | 20:14 |
| Halite | DON'T | 20:14 |
| Halite | MAKE | 20:14 |
| Halite | ME | 20:14 |
| Halite | BURRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRST | 20:14 |
| FloodBot1 | Halite: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 20:14 |
| MonkeyDust | Halite wubi is a windows application, hence the issue lies with windows | 20:14 |
| Lizards|Work | or use an external monitor and verify it's the hardware | 20:14 |
| ikonia | and now you're muted, lets get back to normal service | 20:14 |
| Lizards|Work | oh chanserv, never change | 20:14 |
| MonkeyDust | Halite what Lizards|Work suggests, try a live cd or usb | 20:15 |
| SunStar | when and where would that kind of behavior ever be tolerated / acceptable? | 20:15 |
| Radiant | hey guys | 20:15 |
| Radiant | does anyone know how to set up laptop for runninig Dota 2 on Steam? | 20:15 |

| kalen | help question: Pulseaudio/Alsa: I just started getting some pops in my audio in Mint 15. I've tried reinstalling Alsa and Pulse, and I just noticed that when i use alsamixer, I can turn down some of the settings, but after a minute or two there is a pop and the levels are all reset to the defaults | 20:17 |
| reisio | sounds like a bug | 20:17 |
| wilee-nilee | !mint | kalen | 20:17 |
| ubottu | kalen: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 20:17 |
| * reisio suspects pulse | 20:17 | |
| kalen | aw | 20:18 |
| kalen | I figured there were more knowledgeable people in here | 20:18 |
| Lizards|Work | heh | 20:18 |
| Lizards|Work | i had that problem on my old pc, but this new beast has no such issues | 20:18 |
| kalen | I just replaced the motherboard, but it's been in for at least a week, and this issue just started yesterday | 20:19 |
| wilee-nilee | kalen, we done be only knowing the chaneeel rules. | 20:19 |
| kalen | plus no issue in Windows | 20:19 |
| dtcrshr | kalen: i had this issue on lmde, im using jack | 20:19 |
| dtcrshr | pulse and alsa get me crappy sound | 20:20 |
| dtcrshr | give jack a try | 20:20 |
| kalen | wilee-nilee: let's say it's ubuntu 13.04? | 20:20 |
| dtcrshr | jack and pulse-jack solves mostly of the routing and them | 20:20 |
| MonkeyDust | kalen are you using mint? if yes, that's not supported here | 20:20 |
| kalen | MonkeyDust: ok thanks | 20:20 |
| kalen | dtcrshr: interesting I haven't tried it yet, thanks for the tip | 20:20 |
| skulltip | should i bother writing the game using GTK or QT as a GUI, or other? | 20:21 |
| dacs | ihre: got everything thank you for all the help | 20:21 |
| skulltip | i know there is some division with Unity and gnome | 20:21 |
| dtcrshr | kalen: jack is a pretty much advanced audio system. take that in mind when you begin trying it. If you have some dificulties please ask us on #jack | 20:22 |
| kalen | dtcrshr: will do | 20:22 |
| ihre | dacs, no problem ! | 20:22 |

| ihre | dacs, install what from online? | 20:23 |
| dacs | that is installing 13.04 streaming from online | 20:23 |

| PuffTheMagicDrag | Need help. Trying to install Ubuntu on my Windows 8 (in place of, preferably). Using USB, CD, or booting ISO from desktop, it says that boot failed. That's the whole message, boot failed. Help? | 20:23 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | PuffTheMagic | 20:23 |
| ubottu | PuffTheMagic: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 20:24 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | I did. | 20:24 |
| dacs | what is the right phrase... i don't want to download and install from cd. i am asking if there is a way that i can install 13.04 direct from the web | 20:24 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Have anything helpful? | 20:24 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | I already disabled the Secureboot. That was the first thing I did. | 20:24 |
| wilee-nilee | PuffTheMagicDrag, You can't run a wubi from W8, if that is your goal here. | 20:24 |
| ihre | dacs, yea, use the minimal iso. it pulls everything you want from the web | 20:24 |
| Lizards|Work | he's playing coy about UEFI and needing to disable it | 20:24 |
| k1l | PuffTheMagicDrag: http://askubuntu.com/questions/227563/dual-boot-win-8-fail-to-boot-ubuntu | 20:24 |
| kalen | PuffTheMagicDrag: Make sure you are booting the USB/DVD/etc in EFI mode | 20:25 |
| Lizards|Work | s/it/secure boot | 20:25 |
| dacs | ihre: but that means i will have to burn a cd/usb and boot from it | 20:25 |
| macrobat | cds are cheap | 20:25 |
| Lizards|Work | afaik there is no 'web installer' | 20:25 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | What is EFI mode? I'm just doing this how the directions say.... | 20:25 |

| dacs | not that i am just laxy | 20:25 |
| ihre | dacs, you manually configure the packages you'd like to install with the minimal iso & yeah you would have to make a bootable iso/cd | 20:25 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | wilee-nilee, ubottu, thank you, you have certainly shown me the error of my ways in asking questions. | 20:26 |
| wilee-nilee | PuffTheMagicDrag, WE cannot read your mind kill the drama. | 20:26 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Is there another #ubuntu on a different server? I'd be happy to spare you further "drama". | 20:26 |
| ihre | but youre planning to update from 10.10 to 13.04, dacs? | 20:26 |
| ashipa | Hello | 20:26 |
| dacs | ihre: no i decided to do a fresh install | 20:26 |
| wilee-nilee | PuffTheMagic, And I'm happy to ignore you. | 20:26 |
| bassmasta420 | I need help setting up a chroot directory for sftp users.. can anyone help? | 20:27 |
| Lizards|Work | PuffTheMagicDrag, http://google.com#how+to+boot+EFI | 20:27 |
| ihre | dacs, you dont have any usb sticks around? 64mb would be enough for the minimal iso | 20:28 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Ah, I see what EFI is. I'm not looking to partition. | 20:28 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | I don't want Windows 8 at all. | 20:28 |
| k1l | PuffTheMagicDrag: efi is the new bios. | 20:28 |
| Arkhana | Hello everybody! I just got the message: etc/default/plptools Access Denied | 20:28 |
| reisio | PuffTheMagicDrag: right, the question is merely whether you will run into trouble if you fully remove Windows 8 | 20:28 |
| Arkhana | But I was root! | 20:28 |
| reisio | well, UEFI is the new version of EFI, which will probably also fail :p | 20:29 |
| dacs | ihre: that is cool , i am downloading the iso now and will burn it to a cd , it is just that i was working a night shift and i am tired ...i will head to bed and will continue tomorrow | 20:29 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | I was in UEFI. Did everything I was supposed to. | 20:29 |
| k1l | PuffTheMagicDrag: with secureboot etc. so you might want to take a look at it. what about the link i gave you. did you take a look at it? | 20:29 |
| dacs | good night and i will update you later with the result | 20:29 |
| ihre | good luck dacs | 20:29 |
| dacs | again thank you for all your help and thank you everyone that helped me today | 20:29 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | yes, I was in the UEFI, as per your reference the first time, thank you. Disabled secureboot and everythign else I was supposed to. | 20:29 |
| Arkhana | K1l: in fact, its UEFI and not EFI | 20:29 |
| dacs | you guys always ROCK!!!! | 20:30 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Unfortunately, I don't have a specific error message, it's just telling me it failed. | 20:30 |
| Arkhana | But that doesn't matter :D | 20:30 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Here's the exact message: <The selected boot device failed. Press enter to continue.> That's after all the EUFI stuff is disabled. | 20:30 |
| Lizards|Work | none of that matters, what matters is our plan | 20:30 |
| Arkhana | Indeed | 20:31 |
| Arkhana | Actually kinda weird that a system that's over 30 years had been kicked away | 20:33 |

| PuffTheMagicDrag | Is there no way to simply format my entire computer, and install Ubuntu? | 20:34 |
| Arkhana | I agree, but it's been used so very loooooooong | 20:34 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | I really have 0 interest in this Windows Hate. | 20:34 |
| reisio | PuffTheMagicDrag: sounds like your having difficulty with booting, not installation per se :) | 20:34 |
| reisio | like you're* | 20:34 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Quite possibly. | 20:35 |
| reisio | haven't really been paying attention, what happened again? | 20:35 |
| Lizards|Work | PuffTheMagicDrag, create a bootable installation media, disable secureboot, boot the installation media, pew pew pew pew | 20:35 |
| kalen | pew pew | 20:35 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Lizards|Work, did that when you guys suggested it. Now that all that is done, it gives me this: <The selected boot device failed. Press enter to continue.> | 20:35 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | That's it. No more information that that. | 20:36 |
| Lizards|Work | is the device bootable? | 20:36 |
| Lizards|Work | the cd/usb? | 20:36 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Yes, both. | 20:36 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | And I've tried both. | 20:36 |
| raven | xubuntu: "failed to load session "gnome" - how to solve that? | 20:36 |
| Arkhana | Puff: Why don't disable Secure boot? | 20:36 |
| reisio | PuffTheMagicDrag: what's the boot device? | 20:37 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Arkhana, I swear, I promise to you, as I have said, it is disabled. It doesn't get any more disabled. It SAYS it's disabled, at least, now that I've disabled it. | 20:37 |
| Lizards|Work | have you verified that the device is indeed bootable? | 20:38 |
| reisio | ... | 20:38 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | reisio, I've tried both CD and USB. Also, from the desktop. Lizards|Work, I figured I couldn't have done it wrong more than twice... | 20:38 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | But I might have?? | 20:38 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | I've never done this. | 20:38 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | How do I check? | 20:38 |
| reisio | PuffTheMagicDrag: k, you probably have to go into the UEFI stuff and tweak your boot prefs, then | 20:38 |
| Lizards|Work | boot from it on another system | 20:38 |
| Lizards|Work | or in a virtual machine | 20:38 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | If I boot from it on a different laptop, can I cancel out before it does anything important? | 20:39 |
| Lizards|Work | yes | 20:39 |
| Lizards|Work | always | 20:39 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Cool... Good idea. Will try, thank you. | 20:39 |

| ikonia | chunkyhead: it sounds like your port forwarding is just wrong | 20:51 |

| ubuntivity | How, Dr_willis ? | 20:57 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntivity, theres numerous console based audio player apps in the repos | 20:57 |
| Arkhana | Mp3blaster | 20:57 |
| Dr_willis | !info mpg123 | 20:57 |
| Arkhana | Just an example | 20:57 |
| ubottu | mpg123 (source: mpg123): MPEG layer 1/2/3 audio player. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.14.4-1 (raring), package size 113 kB, installed size 333 kB | 20:57 |
| ikonia | Pessimist: looks like you've got some unstable/ppa's setup | 20:58 |
| rypervenche | Pessimist: PPAs do not play well with Ubuntu. | 20:58 |
| ihre | ncmpcpp + mpd = command line music <3 | 20:58 |
| ikonia | PPA's can work just fine | 20:58 |
| ikonia | it depends on who is maintaining them | 20:58 |
| rypervenche | Exactly ~_^ | 20:58 |
| Pessimist | ikonia, rypervenche, yep I had some PPAs but I've removed them. Just need to fix this issue | 20:58 |
| ikonia | Pessimist: you'll have to undo everything they have installed | 20:58 |
| ubuntivity | should aplay work, too? | 20:58 |
| rypervenche | Pessimist: How did you remove them? | 20:58 |
| Dr_willis | !ppa-purge | 20:58 |
| ubottu | To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:<repository-name>/<subdirectory> » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html | 20:58 |
| Arkhana | Ihre: that's <3 for sure | 20:58 |
| Dr_willis | ubuntivity, try it and see. | 20:59 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, got the portforwarding fixed. still cant use ssh from grex to my computer | 20:59 |
| ikonia | Pessimist: removing the repo won't do it, you need to undo everything they have installed, including dependencies | 20:59 |
| Dr_willis | !info aplay | 20:59 |
| ubottu | Package aplay does not exist in raring | 20:59 |
| Dr_willis | !find aplay | 20:59 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: can you do "ssh localhost" on the ssh server ? | 20:59 |
| ubottu | Found: alsaplayer-alsa, alsaplayer-common, alsaplayer-daemon, alsaplayer-esd, alsaplayer-gtk, alsaplayer-jack, alsaplayer-nas, alsaplayer-oss, alsaplayer-text, alsaplayer-xosd (and 5 others) http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?keywords=aplay&searchon=names&suite=raring§ion=all | 20:59 |
| chunkyhead | i should be running "ssh username@ip" right? ikonia | 20:59 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, yeah | 20:59 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: ok that's not portwarding | 20:59 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: that's just making sure the daemon is listening | 20:59 |
| Lizards|Work | ssh -l user host | 20:59 |
| StArcher | Hi All, I have a quick question about nautilus and dconf, can anyone help/point me in the right direction? | 20:59 |
| ikonia | chunkyhead: so from the client you can do "ssh username@ipaddres" | 20:59 |
| Pessimist | ikonia, rypervenche, so I basically should enable them again and use ppa-purge on them? | 21:00 |
| ubuntivity | I'll try mpg123 and see | 21:00 |
| rypervenche | Pessimist: Yes, that would be the best way. | 21:00 |
| chunkyhead | ikonia, oh my bad. i thought that was port forwarding. anyways ssh username@ip gives me connection timed out from client | 21:01 |
| trism | StArcher: what is the question? | 21:01 |
| Lizards|Work | ping host | 21:01 |
| chunkyhead | Lizards|Work, ping works fine | 21:02 |
| Dr_willis | can you ssh to localhost on the remote server? (ssh to itself?) | 21:03 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Lizards|Work, you nailed it. The answer was indeed that simple. I checked on a third device, it was not bootable, downloaded a different program to make a bootable one from. Thank you! Also, reisio, thank you, k1l, thank you, | 21:03 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Sorry I'm so computer ignorant ;) | 21:03 |
| Lizards|Work | grats PuffTheMagicDrag | 21:03 |
| Lizards|Work | no worries, it's happened to us all at least once | 21:03 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Well, hold off on the grats. It's installing now, but I'm sure I can break it somehow. | 21:03 |
| chunkyhead | Dr_willis, ikonia http://screencloud.net/v/1saI | 21:04 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | I'll likely be asking you guys again in just a few minutes... | 21:04 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Actually, Lizards|Work, I have another question already. Does this mean Windows Hate is gone forever? Have I wiped it? If not, how DO I wipe it completely? | 21:04 |
| Lizards|Work | if you're using the entire volume, it's being overwritten | 21:04 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, a simple 'yes i can ssh to local host' works.. would have been sufficient. | 21:04 |
| Dr_willis | chunkyhead, if pc1 can ping pc2 but not ssh to it.. and pc2 is running ssh (local host ssh test worked) then that points to a firewall issue. or other network blockages | 21:05 |
| chunkyhead | yes i can ssh to localhost :P i said that earlier, i assumed u had seen and wanted screenie | 21:05 |
| chunkyhead | Dr_willis, ^ | 21:05 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | How do I tell it to use the entire volume? | 21:05 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | As of yet, I haven't seen any such thing. | 21:06 |
| Lizards|Work | i'm not fluent with the 13.04 installer | 21:06 |
| chunkyhead | Dr_willis, any suggestions on how to detect those blockades | 21:06 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | So it will be in the installer somewhere? I didn't miss it already? | 21:06 |
| chunkyhead | PuffTheMagicDrag, u just remove every partition there | 21:06 |
| Lizards|Work | it should ask where you want it installed or what kind of installation you want it to be | 21:06 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | chunkyhead, is that something I can do after installation? | 21:06 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Nevermind, they made it stupid-friendly ;) | 21:07 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | I got this... CLICK :D | 21:07 |
| chunkyhead | that's something to do during installation PuffTheMagicDrag | 21:07 |
| syn-ack | You know, I miss the days of fdisk, sometimes. | 21:07 |
| reisio | PuffTheMagicDrag: gj | 21:07 |
| chunkyhead | use gparted for after installation PuffTheMagicDrag | 21:07 |
| syn-ack | Just an observation. | 21:07 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Bye bye, Windows 8 :D | 21:08 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Never again shall Bill Gates extend his insidious control over me... | 21:08 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Muahahahah!!! | 21:08 |
| reisio | :p | 21:08 |
| syn-ack | PuffTheMagicDrag: Sure he will. You'll need skype and MSCoreFonts. :D | 21:09 |
| ihre | chunkyhead, check if your remote host blocks port 22 in the firewall, with something like sudo iptables -nL | grep 22 in a terminal, or run a portscan with nmap -Pn <sshserverip> from another host | 21:09 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Hah, I have no need for Skype. | 21:09 |

| rantic | metacode: Of course | 21:11 |
| metacode | @rantic so where should I ask it? | 21:12 |
| ubuntivity | Guys, I have an old laptop with a broken screen, I have ubuntu server installed on it. I need it to have Video output to the external monitor by default. Is that possible? | 21:12 |
| rantic | metacode: I was being sarcastic, this is exactly where you should ask your question | 21:12 |

| Seth_ | So, I had Ubuntu 12.04 installed on a bootable flash drive | 21:14 |

| Seth_ | I only have one harddrive | 21:18 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Anyone here have a recommended site or book they like to brush up on using Ubuntu very quickly? I don't mean a forum or something like that, I don't have specific questions and I'm not looking for specific answers. I'm just wondering if anyone has a tutorial site they like to send noobies to, who want to cut some time off their learning curve. | 21:18 |
| Lizards|Work | metacode, try enabling proprietary sources in software sources and updating. maybe your driver isn't the best option available | 21:18 |
| kalen | PuffTheMagicDrag: Ubuntu Made Easy is supposed to be pretty good. I think it was just updated not too long ago | 21:18 |

| xok | hello all... | 21:19 |
| genii | ubuntivity: You could try something like putting xset dpms force standby ..in /etc/rc.local | 21:19 |

| wilee-nilee | Pessimist, Unity is a plugin in compiz running on top of gnome 3, what is your goal here? | 21:19 |
| zykotic10 | Pessimist: my suggestion... don't bother. just install whatever DE you want, and leaving Unity. Breaking metapackages is a pain. If you really wanted, start from mini, and don't install any of the *-desktop metapackages. | 21:20 |
| metacode | I did try a few threads but none of them worked. I also tried using some other driver but stil no luck. But if the driver was incompatible then why would it work in 'try ubuntu' mode? | 21:20 |
| evillase | would anyone be able to help with a compile error I receive on a UML linux kernel http://hastebin.com/rowuferigi.vbs | 21:20 |
| wilee-nilee | +1 for zykotic10 | 21:21 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Oh yeah, Kalen ;) Forgot to thank you earlier, too. Thank you. | 21:21 |
| ubuntivity | genii: will that cause a system-standby? | 21:21 |
| kalen | PuffTheMagicDrag: no worries | 21:21 |
| ubuntivity | I want the computer to keep running, only the screen off to save power | 21:21 |
| Lizards|Work | metacode, just like the nvidia graphics driver work in try ubuntu but on reboot you're at a black screen because linux-source and linux-headers-generic weren't available to compile the nvidia driver | 21:22 |
| genii | ubuntivity: That will c ause the monitor to be in standby. So it will be off until someone uses something at the keyboard or uses the mouse/trackpad | 21:22 |
| xok | I have a postfix running on Ubuntu and it doesn't log in /var/log/mail.log | 21:22 |
| sim590 | Hi. When I list /dev, I get a device called 'sdb' with no partitions (no sdb1, sdb2, ...) and there is not any USB devices connected.. The only device connected and that should be shown is my hard drive sda.. what's going on? How can I have more info about sdb? I did fdisk /dev/sdb, but it failed | 21:22 |
| ubuntivity | Nice, genii. But you know ubuntu server has NO X.org, so will it work either way? | 21:22 |
| xok | does anyone of you know where to search?.. | 21:22 |
| genii | ubuntivity: You didn't specify server :) | 21:23 |
| metacode | So how to find out which driver to use? | 21:23 |
| ubuntivity | I specified :)) | 21:23 |
| genii | ubuntivity: Ah, earlier, i see now. | 21:24 |
| ubuntivity | So, that "xset" is specific for X.org, right genii ? | 21:24 |
| Lizards|Work | metacode, superkey -> software & updates, the 'Additional Drivers' tab | 21:24 |
| Lizards|Work | check if there's options | 21:24 |
| wilee-nilee | sim590, run sudo fdisk -l | 21:24 |
| genii | ubuntivity: Yes, xset is for X | 21:24 |
| metacode | Lizards|work no its empty | 21:25 |
| sim590 | wilee-nilee: well.. what is strange is that it appears and disappear | 21:25 |
| sim590 | wilee-nilee: now it's not listed anymore.. I tried to fdisk and it said: no such file or directory.. | 21:26 |
| Lizards|Work | metacode, i'm not sure which sources you need to enable, but i'm fairly certain you're missing the proprietary driver for it | 21:26 |
| genii | ubuntivity: You could try instead vbetool dpms <state> where state is on/off/standby/suspend | 21:27 |
| guest-rhszUU | Good afternoon everyone , ive been experiencing a slow performance on my ubuntu 12, it gets very hot when im using adobe flash player, and it just starts slowing down any help? | 21:27 |
| wilee-nilee | sim590, You have a disc reader or any cards plugged in or a floppy port, just a guess here. | 21:28 |
| xangua | guest-rhszUU: stop using adobe flash or use it the less necesary | 21:28 |
| metacode | Lizards|work, Ok I'll try getting more info about it and try some more threads. Thanks for help. | 21:28 |

| sam101 | Hi i have just swiped my existing Windows 7 installation with Ubuntu and now ubuntu 13.04 consists of so many bugs maybe i should go to the long term support one what do you guys think | 21:33 |
| xok | napsc: are you familiar with the rsyslog?... | 21:34 |
| wilee-nilee | sam101, Without any details on the breakage we can't really help, and that is an opinion. | 21:34 |
| energizer2 | I just started getting some weird behavior in on google sites (maps and gmail so far). http://imgur.com/YQmjKLK | 21:34 |
| guest-rhszUU | thank you left case ill try that i dont know whats going on w the computer >* | 21:34 |
| xok | I see the configuration there pipes to xconsole.. | 21:34 |
| xok | I think that's the reason... | 21:35 |
| energizer2 | black lines like that move around the screen, and the top-bar (black) doesnt always appear as its supposed to | 21:35 |
| wilee-nilee | sam101, The main benefit of longterm is support 12.04 is 5 years. | 21:35 |
| sam101 | its not one breakage its every time i install ubuntu from by usb it fails to get drivers from my wireless adapter then it crashes on ubuntu center but maybe its my usb stick because it was working fluently before | 21:36 |
| leftcase | guest-rhszUU that'll show you the speed of the sensor, but to control if you'll need something like the 'fancontrol' application | 21:36 |
| wilee-nilee | sam101, What's the wireless card? some need a terminal install. | 21:37 |
| Pessimist | I have installed kubuntu-desktop and it installed KDE like I wanted. But now that I want to remove KDE so I uninstall kubuntu-desktop but it only uninstalls the meta package. How do I uninstall KDE ? | 21:37 |

| dakta | I've got a WD Green Power 2TB 3.5" SATA drive out of a bricked WD MyBook Live NAS device. I have two different SATA-USB interfaces, one a generic multipurpose dongle type and another contained in an enclosure. If I format the drive using one of those interfaces, everything works fine, up until I try to access the drive using the other interface. Then the drive appears unformatted and cannot be used unless it is formatting using that inte | 21:57 |
| dakta | becomes unusable on the other interface, | 21:57 |
| dakta | It's like some kind of interface-UUID lock protection mode on the drive or something. | 21:57 |
| wilee-nilee | Aprel, Run this app from the live cd (only the bootinfo summary) and post the url generated. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 21:58 |
| Aprel | Kevin`: okay, can you please give an example command? Not sure what the boot/root dir is. | 21:58 |
| dakta | And I can't find any information about this. | 21:58 |
| Kevin` | dakta: show the exact size of the drive in bytes reported when using both interfaces | 21:58 |
| Naughx | --boot-directory=DIR | 21:58 |
| wilee-nilee | Kevin`, That command is correct when a mbr is used. | 21:58 |
| Pinkamena_D | wilee-nilee, I just looked back here after troubleshooting it manually | 21:58 |
| matrixa1 | Aprel, i concur with wilee-nilee, you simply need to reinstall Grub, boot-repair will do that for you | 21:58 |
| Kevin` | wilee-nilee: boot repair is, grub-install run manually needs to know where to install to | 21:59 |
| Pinkamena_D | I just found the issue, that google chrome "blacklisted my gpu", but you can bypass this by going to chrome://flags | 21:59 |
| wilee-nilee | I would only run the bootinfo summary to begin with so we can see what's up. Aprel | 21:59 |
| Pinkamena_D | and toggle the top option | 21:59 |
| Pinkamena_D | strangly, we have the same gpu in most computers here at the school, including the windows ones, so I think its more of a chrome/ubuntu issue | 22:00 |

| dagerik | ubuntivity: install alsa | 22:02 |
| wilee-nilee | Aprel, Your command though from the live cd is incorrect. | 22:03 |
| ubuntivity | OK, dagerik. I'll try that and be back :) | 22:03 |
| wilee-nilee | that is run in the install | 22:03 |
| Aprel | wilee-nilee: okay, how can I fix it? | 22:03 |
| dakta | wN: Ping me when you return, I'll let you know if I've solved it then. | 22:03 |
| Kevin` | pepee: that's the author's web site, and it doesn't list specifics | 22:03 |
| goddard | how can i install custom themes from gnome-looks.org? | 22:04 |
| wilee-nilee | Aprel, Generallthe basic repair would fix it with the boot repair if you have standard partitioning, you can chroot in and run that command as well. | 22:04 |
| Kevin` | pepee: all it says is some company didn't have a problem with the license | 22:04 |
| dakta | wN: For the record, I've partitioned the drive using both Gparted and Apple's Disk Utility.app. I've tested other drives partitioned in the same manner on the same hardware using both dongles on the same hardware, and no problems like this. | 22:04 |
| pepee | well, no idea about that | 22:04 |
| Naughx | sudo grub-install --boot-directory=/mnt/boot /dev/sda (Note: Your ubuntu partition needs to be mounted at "/mnt") | 22:04 |
| pepee | Kevin`, but the thing is , ubuntu is shipping buggy code | 22:04 |
| Naughx | That's what I do when I reinstall grub | 22:05 |
| wilee-nilee | Aprel, The bootinfo summary will tell us the partitioning and boot info of W8.1 | 22:05 |
| wN | dakta: im headed home from work, so i wont be back until tomorrow at 9am. however, perhaps you'll catch me lurking tonight. send me a pm and i'll remember | 22:05 |
| Kevin` | pepee: actually, the statement is redundant since he's using a sun license. which is odd because iirc the purpose of that license is to require contributions to be owned by sun while still being open-source-ish | 22:05 |
| dakta | wN: will do | 22:05 |
| Kevin` | pepee: then the bugs need to be fixed | 22:05 |
| Aprel | Naughx: Oh, I should mount the ubuntu partition? | 22:05 |
| Naughx | yes | 22:06 |

| test456 | Hey guys, how to hide this dark frame inside window? http://screencloud.net/v/AGAp | 22:06 |
| pepee | Kevin`, yeah, but then, I'd have to: debug some thing I don't know about, and then wait for weeks or months to get the working software | 22:06 |
| Naughx | sudo mount /dev/sdaY /mnt (Replace Y by your ubuntu partition) | 22:06 |
| test456 | in inactive window its hided | 22:06 |

| Aprel | Ah, thanks looks like Naughx's mount command then grub-install fixed it. It's just when I installed Win7 the first time I didn't remeber going through all these steps w grub, just like grub-install and it was done. All looks good now. Thanks! | 22:09 |

| genii | ubuntivity: Try mplayer | 22:16 |
| sigwhite | tl;dr: I'm on an UEFI Win8 notebook and want to dual-boot Ubuntu. How? | 22:17 |
| sigwhite | (Wiki isn't helping) | 22:17 |
| ubuntivity | going to do that, genii | 22:17 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | You have to disable Secureboot. | 22:17 |
| PuffTheMagicDrag | Know how to, sigwhite? | 22:17 |
| ubuntivity | it want's to install 73 new packages!!! genii | 22:18 |
| ubuntivity | Isn't there something lighter, genii? | 22:18 |
| sigwhite | PuffTheMagicDrag: I disabled "secure boot" in the UEFI setup / bios. But that has nothing to do with Ubuntu not launching. | 22:19 |

| ubuntivity | Is it neccessary for sound to play to have X.org installed? genii | 22:21 |
| Pinkamena_D | after you do "sudo su" how do you go back to a standard user? | 22:21 |
| bpietro | Pinkamena_D, exit | 22:22 |
| genii | ubuntivity: mplayer shouldn't require X, moc either | 22:22 |
| Aprel | ubuntivity: no, you just need sound package. I have a headless box that I play cds w all the time. | 22:22 |
| Pinkamena_D | thanks | 22:22 |
| trism | czuck: my guess would be gedit starts before the menuproxy is ready, so it defaults back to the one in the window, might try making a script and adding a few seconds of delay before starting gedit | 22:22 |
| Aprel | ubuntivity: alsa, for ex. | 22:22 |
| bpietro | :) | 22:22 |
| ubuntivity | I installed alsa, but mpg123 didnt play audio and the error was http://paste.ubuntu.com/5909153/ | 22:23 |

| === sigwhite_ is now known as sigwhite | ||
| Aprel | ubuntibity: go to your alsa settings and make sure the mixer's volume isn't low. When alsa installed for me, valume was at 0 for some reason. | 22:23 |
| * ubuntivity is feeling audio-less! | 22:24 | |
| ubuntivity | How to check alsa settings on command line? | 22:24 |
| sig_white | Okay, sorry about that. irssi threw up | 22:24 |

| ubuntivity | When I try to aplay a wav file, I get http://paste.ubuntu.com/5909179/ | 22:27 |
| czuck_ | trism: bit hacky though... wish this could be done in sync | 22:28 |
| tty | sorry I meant just "alsamixer" no "&" | 22:28 |
| ubuntivity | tty, I doubt the volume is set to 0 since I'm getting an error trying to play files! | 22:29 |
| otak | ubuntivity: you can try sudo alsactl init | 22:29 |
| trism | czuck_: well, we are supposed to have indicators starting from upstart soon in either 13.10 or 14.04 so that would allow you to have a job that starts gedit with something like: start on started indicator-appmenu | 22:29 |
| sig_white | Here's what I spent the better part of the day on: 1. Getting the live cd to work (uefi+secure: fail, boot to windows; uefi+non-secure: fail, freeze on launch; win livecd "help": fail, Win8 boot loader error; non-uefi: success). 2. Installing Ubuntu (had to "fix" sda GPT with GParted, then installed root partition on SSD sdb). 3. Installing GRUB for EFI using livecd with boot-repair. | 22:29 |
| trism | czuck_: that's the idea anyway | 22:29 |
| ubuntivity | Did it otak, same error with aplay :( | 22:30 |
| czuck_ | trism: understood, will wait for that update, in the meantime the delay will do just fine | 22:30 |
| napsc | ubuntivity: does it work as root? | 22:30 |
| czuck_ | trism: thanks again | 22:30 |

| ubuntivity | How to know if the kernel supports my audio device? | 22:31 |
| Lizards|Work | i don't remember if you need to modprobe or something | 22:31 |

| Kevin` | pepee: btw, do dvd burning with growisofs (yes, iso images too), i've never had a problem with it | 22:31 |
| sig_white | In order to install GRUB I had to boot in legacy mode to run the livecd. boot-repair luckily detected EFI nevertheless and asked me to install grub-efi... which failed because "source_dir doesn't exist" (google leads to bug report with no useful information other than "works as expected"). | 22:31 |
| pepee | Kevin`, I just wasted 3 DVDs, and it seemed obvious that this was a software problem. and, yeah, it was | 22:32 |
| pepee | good thing I usually use google to search for similar bugs | 22:32 |
| Kevin` | pepee: that's why i'm offering the suggestion to use growisofs instead of wodim | 22:33 |
| pepee | ubuntu has teached me well in that sense... | 22:33 |
| pepee | ah k, sorry, dunno what's growisofs | 22:33 |
| bpietro | yes, I like UEFI, too :P | 22:33 |
| sig_white | Basically, after enduring this nonsense for hours (completely blowing up my boot loader by checking "secure boot" in boot-repair at one point) I flapped the BIOS back to UEFI+secure and wiped the Ubuntu partitions. | 22:33 |
| wN | dakta: ping | 22:34 |
| wN | dakta: figure it out? | 22:34 |
| pepee | Kevin`, "growisofs - combined genisoimage frontend/DVD recording program." isn't it the same? | 22:34 |
| Aprel | pepee: wodim is an old fork. http://cdrecord.berlios.de/private/cdrecord.html has more updated source code. Perhpas the updated version will work? | 22:34 |
| sig_white | I really only have one question: How can I do this properly, or failing that, how can I remove GRUB now that it's completely vestigial and only shows up in nonsecure mode anyway? | 22:34 |
| pepee | the problem is genisoimage, not k3b... | 22:34 |
| Kevin` | pepee: there ARE packages available for ubuntu unofficially, you've found, yes? i've never had a problem though, and the author seems pretty hostile and has odd licensing terms, which means inclusion in debian is unlikely (ubuntu extras may be possible though) | 22:34 |
| Kevin` | pepee: you said you were using wodim for dvds, which it obviously doesn't work well for, not growisofs | 22:35 |
| pepee | Kevin`, yeah, I just added some ppa that has the package | 22:35 |
| pepee | Kevin`, bug report says it's a genisoimage bug | 22:35 |
| pepee | which affects everything else... | 22:35 |
| pepee | I don't really know about all this, I'm not a dev | 22:36 |
| goddard | how do you change system sounds? | 22:36 |
| pepee | but it seems obvious to me that that program is buggy, while the original one isn't | 22:37 |
| pepee | Aprel, I didn't try | 22:37 |
| bpietro | sorry, I don't know. I only red some articles, saying to myself "Thanks for not having UEFI box' | 22:37 |
| Kevin` | pepee: individuals can ignore the law, but public entities can't :/ | 22:37 |
| pepee | I was going to try updating it, but I didn't, I found a quick and better solution | 22:38 |

| pepee | Kevin`, here it says you could distribute the source code: https://lwn.net/Articles/200374/ | 22:55 |
| pepee | again, no idea, but if it's true... why not? AFAIK, you are already doing that | 22:55 |
| pepee | with some packages | 22:55 |
| Kevin` | pepee: cddl is a proper opensource licence, but you can't combine gpl and cddl code (or libraries) since the licenses are not compatible | 22:57 |
| Kevin` | pepee: there's no problem distributing binaries if they don't link with gpl code (I think there's exceptions for system stuff, I forget where) | 22:57 |

| pepee | oh well, I dunno :/ | 23:01 |

| sig_white | Help! I want to dual-boot Ubuntu alongside Windows 8 with UEFI. I can only install Ubuntu from live CD in legacy (non-UEFI) mode and can't install grub-efi because "source_dir doesn't exist". Secure-mode toggle does nothing. Wat!? | 23:11 |
| MonkeyDust | !uefi | sig_white start here | 23:13 |
| ubottu | sig_white start here: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:13 |
| doomlord | gvim looks pretty good, not sure it has the tabs and it doesnt come with my prefereed bindngs out of the box ..i suspect i'd hae an emacslike experience with it | 23:15 |
| sig_white | MonkeyDust: I have started there and worked through that and it's not helping. The point at which I gave up was: GRUB working with UEFI enabled (but secure mode disabled), but freezing after "loading initial ramdisk...". | 23:15 |
| sig_white | MonkeyDust: I'm fairly certain the issue has something to do with grub-efi failing when I install it with apt-get as boot-repair tells me to do. | 23:16 |

I tried UEFI:true/true, UEFI:true/secure:false, UEFI:false (i.e. legacy mode), as well as the booting "help" in the windows autorun thing that's on the live CD.

| MonkeyDust | sig_white no, i have an old pc myself, not familiar enough with uefi | 23:21 |
| holstein | sig_white: its actualy quite relevant, since you are trying to install, and that is not a normal install | 23:21 |
| sig_white | holstein: Let me repeat that: I got the live cd to run by disabling uefi in the bios. | 23:21 |
| megrandpa | can anybody suggest a chromium addon to download videos from youtue | 23:21 |
| megrandpa | youtube* | 23:21 |
| holstein | sig_white: that is one way to run the installer. is that not an ecceptable way to continue? | 23:21 |
| sig_white | holstein: by simply disabling secure mode (but not uefi) I could run the live cd *menu*, but selecting install or "try ubuntu" just froze. | 23:22 |
| holstein | megrandpa: no... you can ask the content creator, or search around | 23:22 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | sig_white | 23:22 |
| ubottu | sig_white: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:22 |
| holstein | ^^ i would try that from the live CD.. you could be experiencing hardware support issues relating to your graphics card that have nothing to do with UEFI | 23:22 |
| sig_white | holstein: I managed to install Ubuntu, but it didn't give me a way to boot into it because the setup couldn't install a bootloader (grub failed). | 23:22 |
| holstein | sig_white: from the install you made, that i assume you dont know if it works, or will boot a graphical environment | 23:23 |
| holstein | sig_white: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 23:23 |
| sig_white | holstein: That would be a possibility. Would that explain why GRUB freezes with this?: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-WEUvjd6msdw/UfAU0oEFfTI/AAAAAAAAAL4/mqV-0dkY_Gg/w680-h510-no/24.07.13+-+1 | 23:24 |

| === Jak is now known as Guest98194 | ||
| holstein | sig_white: did you install grub or not? | 23:25 |
| sig_white | holstein: I installed from live cd in legacy mode, then ran the live cd in legacy mode and ran boot-repair, which detected the efi, but when it told me to run a couple of shell commands to install grub-efi, grub-efi failed to install because the post-install script is broken (according to the only bug report I could find), which leads me to believe grub wasn't installed correctly by boot-repair. | 23:25 |
| sig_white | Installing with the live cd's "install ubuntu" ended with grub failing to install. I had to install grub with boot-repair later (using the live cd in legacy mode again). | 23:26 |
| ubuntivity | guys, how can I run a command through ssh that remains running even when my ssh gets disconnected? | 23:27 |
| sig_white | Oh, and at one point I managed to install grub-pc instead and that let me run neither Ubuntu nor Windows, which was fun. | 23:27 |
| zykotic10 | akronix: terminal "apt-cache policy gedit" | 23:27 |
| syn-ack | ubuntivity: screen. | 23:27 |
| ubuntivity | what does screen do? | 23:27 |
| zykotic10 | syn-ack: honestly, i'd suggest tmux over screen these days YMMV ;) | 23:27 |
| ubuntivity | I tried tmux once | 23:27 |
| akronix | oks, thanks, i'll try both... | 23:27 |
| jrib | ubuntivity: if you don't care about output or returning to the screen where you launched it, COMMAND & disown. If you care about output, nohup COMMAND. If you want to reattach to the screen, either "screen COMMAND" or "tmux COMMAND". | 23:27 |
| syn-ack | haven't played with it, zykotic10 | 23:27 |
| Guest98194 | Hey all, would anyone be able to walk me through installing ubuntu on a Barebone Computer? Just now getting into the Ubuntu scene and I don't wanna mess up my first try or anything like that. | 23:28 |
| syn-ack | ubuntivity: it's like tmux | 23:28 |
| jrib | ubuntivity: tmux is screen's younger, more hip brother | 23:28 |
| syn-ack | I'm a bit old fashioned, apparently. | 23:28 |
| jrib | see ^ | 23:28 |
| zykotic10 | syn-ack: it's different! but much more modern - once i switched it to screen keybindings life was grand again ;) | 23:28 |
| ubuntivity | so, I can reattach using tmux command, right? | 23:29 |
| * jrib will not ask zykotic10 if "screen keybindings" == ctrl-a so as not to be disappointed | 23:29 | |
| jrib | ubuntivity: tmux attach | 23:29 |
| ubuntivity | but what if I have two tmux-ed COMMAND that are the same? getting over-obsessive here!) | 23:29 |
| megrandpa | kostkon, i will try it | 23:29 |
| jrib | ubuntivity: tmux ls, tmux -t blah attach | 23:29 |
| jrib | ubuntivity: or maybe tmux attach -t blah (based on my history) | 23:30 |
| sig_white | holstein: The ubuntuforums are down, which is part of the reason Google isn't being very helpful with this. | 23:30 |
| ubuntivity | I'll try to mess around with man tmux | 23:30 |
| ubuntivity | Why both Ubuntu forums AND Apple developers site are down at the same time? | 23:30 |
| zykotic10 | syn-ack: and anyone else reading - the ONLY downside to tmux is that it's BSD licensed. so if GPL is an issue... other then that (and the fact screen does physical serial connections) tmux rocks. jrib i try many more keybinding then that ;) but that's the first one [i guess NOT good if you use emacs... but i'm a vi-guy ;)] | 23:31 |
| ubuntivity | are there any recent server vulnerabilities?? | 23:31 |
| akronix | lol, apple developers is down too? | 23:31 |
| jrib | zykotic10: but readline... | 23:31 |
| holstein | sig_white: well, we know the cd's and iso's work.. you can always ask the manufacturer how you are supposed to use the system | 23:32 |
| zykotic10 | jrib: also an issue! yes. | 23:32 |
| ubuntivity | yes akronix, and they (themselves) said that some userdata were exposed, and they are extending the duration of apps availability on their store during this downtime | 23:32 |
| syn-ack | What | 23:33 |
| zykotic10 | jrib: my brain just can't switch to ^b... ^a is "natural" at this point - years of using screen, has warped my brain. | 23:33 |
| syn-ack | what's wrong with the BSD license? | 23:33 |
| syn-ack | I prefer it over the GPL. | 23:33 |
| akronix | but userdata of apple developers were exposed too?? OMG that's not serious for apple | 23:33 |
| jrib | zykotic10: ^b is also bad. Personally I use alt-space | 23:33 |
| zykotic10 | syn-ack: non-copyleft [OT issue here!] | 23:33 |
| ubuntivity | They declared that for sake of "transparency" I remember! | 23:34 |
| sig_white | holstein: I am serious. "sudo apt-get install grub-efi" fails with "source_dir doesn't exist", as will "grub-install" afterwards. This isn't a weird manufacturer quirk. There's even a Launchpad ticket mentioning it. The only problem is that neither the manpage nor any of the tickets or Google results indicate what this message means or how to fix it. | 23:34 |
| w30 | Guest98194, don't leave so fast first of all !!! | 23:34 |
| === BadLarry is now known as BadLarry_ | ||
| syn-ack | zykotic10: You're the one who brought it up.... | 23:35 |
| sig_white | FWIW, it didn't prevent GRUB from being installed "properly" (i.e. I reboot and see GRUB in non-secure UEFI mode), so maybe that error doesn't really have any impact other than marking the package as not being installed correctly. | 23:35 |
| nimdAHK | Can I replace my existing partition setup (/, /home, swap) with one extended partition? | 23:35 |
| ubuntivity | gotta go eat, good bye :) | 23:36 |
| ubuntivity | quit hungry | 23:36 |
| zykotic10 | nimdAHK: one extended, and at least 3 logical drives! BUT, grub and fstab won't be happy! you'll need to reinstall/and rescan grub! | 23:36 |
| sig_white | holstein: Oh, just an aside: is it possible to install Ubuntu's root partition on sdb instead of sda? Windows is on sda, but sdb is an SSD, so that'd be neat. | 23:37 |
| holstein | sig_white: im not clear how you are booting the system without grub | 23:37 |
| nimdAHK | zykotic10: right. Can I do it in-place? | 23:37 |
| sig_white | holstein: Depends on what you mean by "the system". Windows 8 is still installed. | 23:37 |
| holstein | sig_white: you can install whatever you want where ever you want (or are allowed) | 23:37 |
| syn-ack | sig_white: This is why Secure Boot is evil | 23:37 |
| zykotic10 | nimdAHK: if you're hitting the 4 partition limit on MS-DOS - then that is what you might want to do. BUT - personally, i think resizing partitions is insanity (have a backup!) - good luck | 23:38 |
| sig_white | syn-ack: Don't tell me. Tell Microsoft. | 23:38 |
| akronix | i've a very annoying issue with the wireless card of my netbook (samsung n150), it doesn't work cause driver is not installed. I've installed jockey and It has found the driver, I press to activate it and It prompts error: | 23:38 |
| syn-ack | sig_white: you do have Secure Boot disabled, right? Otherwise you'll need a signed kernel. | 23:38 |
| nimdAHK | zykotic10: I know what I want to do | 23:38 |
| nimdAHK | the problem is how | 23:38 |
| holstein | sig_white: micorsoft made the hardware? its likely a vendor, and there is probably a way to turn off what is causing you trouble | 23:38 |
| zykotic10 | nimdAHK: "in place" is probably not possible - but i could be wrong?!? | 23:38 |
| sig_white | syn-ack: FWIW, if I had known this I'd probably waited for the Chromebook Pixel rather than buying a Dell. | 23:38 |
| akronix | 2013-07-25 01:31:18,953 DEBUG: BroadcomWLHandler enabled(): kmod disabled, bcm43xx: blacklisted, b43: blacklisted, b43legacy: blacklisted | 23:38 |
| sig_white | holstein: Isn't secure boot basically Microsoft's idea / pet? | 23:39 |
| syn-ack | sig_white: did you go into the EFI console and disable Secure Boot? | 23:39 |
| wilee-nilee | !broadcom | akronix | 23:39 |
| ubottu | akronix: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 23:39 |
| syn-ack | sig_white: ues | 23:39 |
| syn-ack | yes | 23:39 |
| akronix | i'm under xubuntu, but previously I had fuduntu and this card worked perfectly | 23:39 |
| holstein | sig_white: if you have an issue with the hardware config, you'll need to ask the hardware manufacturer.. not microsoft | 23:39 |
| zykotic10 | akronix: "blacklisted" means the driver doesn't get loaded | 23:39 |
| holstein | !broadcom | akronix | 23:40 |
| ubottu | akronix: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 23:40 |
| sig_white | syn-ack: Yeah, I did all that. It might not even be a UEFI issue at this point, as I has been pointed out to me. | 23:40 |
| syn-ack | sig_white: cleared the TPM? | 23:40 |
| w30 | akronix, I had a problem like that with broadcom drivers. There is dependency problems. I solved it by wiring up and then using synaptic to install the broadcom driver plus the dependencys | 23:40 |
| syn-ack | Update the EFI Firmware? | 23:40 |
| sig_white | What seems weird to me, however: when I booted into the live cd in legacy boot mode it worked just fine, so how could nomodeset have anything to do with it? | 23:41 |
| w30 | akronix, then remove the wire and connect with the radio *smile* | 23:41 |
| holstein | sig_white: that was me going off of what i read, which was different from waht is happening | 23:41 |
| sig_white | I'm fairly certain Ubuntu and GRUB would work just fine if I skipped UEFI altogether and installed both in legacy mode. Well, except GRUB exploded when I tried that. | 23:41 |
| holstein | sig_white: you have a complex issue, and getting the details straight will be key | 23:41 |
| akronix | w30: but how Can I say the name of the driver and dependency for type it in synaptic?? | 23:42 |
| holstein | sig_white: for example, you say grub failed to install, but you have an issue with the installed grub.. that is interesting to me, and unclear | 23:42 |
| msl09 | \join #debian | 23:42 |
| holstein | akronix: you can refer to the link i gave for the package name | 23:42 |
| syn-ack | sig_white: with UEFI, you NEED to install it in EFI mode. Legacy mode won't work like it does in EFI | 23:42 |
| akronix | now I'm using an external antena for wifi | 23:42 |
| holstein | !broadcom > akronix | 23:42 |
| ubottu | akronix, please see my private message | 23:42 |
| sig_white | holstein: Oh, okay. Well, the reason this sounds inconsistent is that I'm describing what I did throughout the course of maybe 8 hours and I had different results through different courses of action. | 23:43 |
| holstein | sig_white: if you can boot the live system, and have no graphics issues, then you likely have no graphics support issues | 23:43 |
| w30 | akronix, First of all have you got a broadcom wireless chip? | 23:43 |
| akronix | ok, thanks ubottu I'm going to see it | 23:43 |
| holstein | sig_white: what would i do? disable all of that as possible | 23:43 |
| akronix | w30: yes, 433X | 23:43 |
| akronix | 4322X sorry* | 23:43 |
| syn-ack | sig_white: What it sounds like is happening is that, even though you turned Secure Boot off, it's not. | 23:44 |
| syn-ack | it's expecting it's keys, which you don't have. | 23:44 |
| w30 | akronix, synaptic finds the broadcom driver .deb by entering "broadcom" in search | 23:44 |
| wilee-nilee | sig_white, Do you have windows backed up, or feel comfortable if this whole thing goes south? | 23:45 |
| sig_white | holstein: I tried that. Disabled UEFI ("legacy mode"), installed grub-pc, rebooted: bam, all kinds of weird crap (it threw me into a fancy GUI for a second then just showed me a test pattern of colored bars and froze). | 23:45 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| syn-ack | Right, the EFI console. | 23:45 |
| s00pcan | can anyone suggest a cli/curses program/package to configure wifi+dhcp? thanks | 23:45 |
| holstein | sig_white: with UEFI disabled is the way to start | 23:45 |
| s00pcan | I used wifi-menu on arch-linux but eh can't find it | 23:45 |
| syn-ack | sig_white: I'd really have to see it in person for this one | 23:45 |
| euxneks | how do I disable certain pidgin notifications? I have a person on my buddies list that is constantly logging in and out for some weird reason and it's really irritating | 23:46 |
| w30 | akronix, then just check the broadcom selection and synaptic drags some other stuff. just relax and let it have it's way with you | 23:46 |
| holstein | sig_white: if you installed, and took updates, then you have installed a different kernel than what was on the live CD, which could be, again, not supporting your graphics card | 23:46 |
| sig_white | wilee-nilee: "comfortable"? Not really. All important stuff is in the cloud (can't believe I said that with a straight face) so all the rest is basically fluff, but I don't have a full data backup and don't have a physical recovery disk. | 23:46 |
| w30 | akronix, heheh | 23:46 |
| euxneks | oh wait I found it under plugins with libnotify> configure plugin | 23:46 |
| wilee-nilee | sig_white, Really, the recovery is on board burn one, and make an image, that would have been my first question, cover your booty. ;) | 23:47 |
| holstein | i agree. if win8 is important, clone or back it up | 23:47 |
| sig_white | wilee-nilee: I'm a self-employed web dev. The notebook is my office. I don't really want to have to wipe it at any point. | 23:48 |
| holstein | sig_white: that hard drive *will* fail.. so plan for that, and you will be covered for anything that might happen here | 23:48 |
| wilee-nilee | sig_white, understandable, however if it gets beyond repair what will you do? | 23:48 |
| MichaelP | Looking on google for away to make apt-get install packages faster.. But all im coming up with is the dumb download things like apt-fast... Thats not what im wanting.. Wanting to make it not go thru so much while installing... | 23:49 |
| sig_white | holstein: Makes sense, except "try ubuntu" freezes (i.e. I select the option, press ENTER, get a blank screen in the same soothing purple, forever) in non-secure UEFI mode. | 23:49 |
| holstein | sig_white: you said "the ubuntu live CD works fine" | 23:49 |
| wilee-nilee | took one loss of a bunch of music to make me realize how important contingencies are. | 23:50 |
| holstein | sig_white: if it doesnt then it doesnt,a nd we can troubleshoot accordingly | 23:50 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | 23:50 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 23:50 |
| holstein | ^^ that is what i would try for the issue you mention | 23:50 |
| sig_white | holstein: Well, I know it will fail eventually, but the bigger issue isn't installing Win8 but installing a crap-ton of software. Recovery disk wouldn't help with that. | 23:50 |
| lauratika | how can i encrypt the whole disk in 12.04?... | 23:50 |
| wilee-nilee | lauratika, You installed? | 23:51 |
| holstein | sig_white: the fact is, you *can* break you win8 here.. if you go on without an image, i consider that risky.. do what you want | 23:51 |
| sig_white | holstein: "the ubuntu live CD works fine [in non-UEFI "legacy boot" mode]". | 23:51 |
| holstein | sig_white: legacy mode is what to use | 23:51 |
| lauratika | wilee-nilee: yes already installed | 23:51 |
| holstein | sig_white: if you have installed in legacy mode, and have other issues, we can discuss those | 23:52 |
| sig_white | wilee-nilee: All my music is both on Google Music and Wuala. All my emails are on mail servers with their own regular backups. All my work data is on Wuala, too. Everything else is fluff. | 23:52 |
| wilee-nilee | lauratika, Cool, I can't really he,lp I just use a truecrypt folder for passwords, others can though | 23:52 |
| lauratika | wilee-nilee: thanx | 23:53 |
| wilee-nilee | sig_white, Cool, do what you want, seems like the OS might be important and the hours of updates yo have done and installs, being it is your work, best of luck. ;) | 23:53 |
| sig_white | holstein: Sorry if I wasn't clear: I can ONLY run the live CD's "try ubuntu" (or "install ubuntu", for that matter) in legacy. However install always fails at the end because of GRUB ("couldn't install grub on /dev/sda" or something), so I tried to fix that with boot-repair on the live CD. | 23:53 |
| BoF | need help for xubuntu install proxy anyone?? | 23:54 |
| wilee-nilee | !details | BoF | 23:56 |
| ubottu | BoF: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 23:56 |
| sig_white | wilee-nilee: TBH, none of that fluff (i.e. things that aren't backed up) is valuable enough that losing it in a catastrophic hardware failure scenario would hurt me much and it's too inconvinient to back up (huge applications, config files spread all over the disk, etc), but it would be more than annoying to lose it simply because I want to install Linux natively. | 23:56 |
| Will | Hey people. Can someone guide me how to reload my packets? I am not very sure what packets are to be completely honest. | 23:57 |
| sig_white | wilee-nilee: Seriously, the most important reason I'm trying to install Ubuntu is that there is no good terminal emulator for Windows and msys/mingw kinda sucks. | 23:57 |
| wilee-nilee | sig_white, What would your momma tell you to do? ;) | 23:58 |
| BoF | i'm running on Xubuntu 13.04 i would like pass by an proxy server but how? i hear to tsocks but i can't install it! | 23:58 |
| sig_white | wilee-nilee: She's more careless than I am. She'd probably tell me to buy a second notebook. | 23:58 |
| k1l | Will: "sudo apt-get update" ? | 23:58 |
| sig_white | My *wife* OTOH would kill me if I did that ;) | 23:58 |
| wilee-nilee | sig_white, Heh, my only concern is protecting you from yourself to be honest, Heh, and your wife. | 23:59 |
