| iampoz | whats the problem? | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| daniel11 | x wont start and I cant get to a terminal to troubleshoot it. after installing nvidia binary drivers. | 00:01 |
| rusty101 | hello, if I dual boot Linux with my win7, will I have the windows security holes when i boot to linux? | 00:02 |
| gordonjcp | rusty101: no | 00:03 |
| gordonjcp | rusty101: you can still read your Windows files, mostly, but you're running completely different software with a completely different set of security holes | 00:04 |
| daniel11 | rusty101 - when linux is running, windows will be shut down. when windows is running, linux will be shut down. you will not have problems with windows viruses, malware etc. when running linux, even if you still ahve windows installed at the time. | 00:04 |
| gordonjcp | rusty101: not nearly so many holes, though | 00:04 |
| gordonjcp | rusty101: there are no viruses for Linux | 00:04 |
| gordonjcp | rusty101: there are some security holes, and it pays to be somewhat careful | 00:04 |
| mjayk | gordonjcp: i dont like the statement there are no viruses for Linux that cant be true | 00:04 |
| rusty101 | will big brother still be logging me in Linux? | 00:05 |
| hewhomust | rusty0101: Big brother is called Canonical | 00:05 |
| mjayk | rusty101: most likely if you use the interwebs | 00:05 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: well, there aren't | 00:05 |
| cgtdk | rusty101: They log your internet traffic, so yes | 00:05 |
| daniel11 | rusty101 - only mark shutteworth | 00:05 |
| mjayk | gordonjcp: i disagree, its a sweeping statement | 00:05 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: there are vastly more Linux computers connected to the Internet than Windows computers | 00:05 |
| azaleo | http://i.imgur.com/CnEeI.jpg?1 | 00:06 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: you'd think if it was possible, it would have been done by now | 00:06 |
| cgtdk | azaleo: please don't | 00:06 |
| mjayk | gordonjcp: it has been done thats my point, just google theres ltos of info on it. There are not as many because its not a big of a target as windows just google | 00:06 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: there's nothing, there's *one* proof-of-concept virus that takes a lot of work to get going | 00:07 |
| rusty101 | when I boot to linux it certainly will be more secure than Windows, correct? | 00:07 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: Linux is a much larger target than Windows | 00:07 |
| azaleo | not really | 00:07 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: there are pretty much no Windows computers connected to the Internet | 00:08 |
| lurker | hello | 00:08 |
| mjayk | gordonjcp: no your wrong - reference [1] http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3601946 | 00:08 |
| wilee-nilee | rusty0101, you are only as safe as you are careful no matter what OS. | 00:08 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: lol, Kaspersky | 00:08 |
| mjayk | gordonjcp: reference 2 http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/ppfdocs/2005110716014248 | 00:08 |
| mjayk | srsly jsut use the internet | 00:08 |
| gordonjcp | lol, Symantec | 00:08 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: those are nonsense | 00:09 |
| mjayk | yea those crazy dogs gordonjcp people like you saying ahhh there are no linux virus are jsut 1 wrong and 2 provide a false sence of security | 00:09 |
| mjayk | simple as end | 00:09 |
| lurker | anyone? | 00:09 |
| cgtdk | !ask | lurker | 00:09 |
| ubottu | lurker: 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 | 00:09 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: because, there are no viruses for Linux | 00:09 |
| mjayk | there are | 00:09 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: it's really that simple | 00:09 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: show me one | 00:09 |
| mjayk | do you have a web browser? | 00:09 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: yup | 00:09 |
| mjayk | do you know what google is ? | 00:09 |
| wilee-nilee | get a room guys | 00:09 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: yes, and I know what fairy stories are too | 00:10 |

Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. | 00:10 |
| wilee-nilee | gordonjcp, mjayk Argue in a pm | 00:10 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: hint - if you see the name of a virus scanner software manufacturer on the article, it's a sensationalist piece intended to scare you into opening your wallet | 00:10 |
| lurker | how to make 2 Oss boot simultaneously from within one | 00:11 |
| mjayk | gordonjcp: please stop saying my name and go away | 00:11 |
| gordonjcp | mjayk: no | 00:11 |
| lurker | no no, not like this | 00:11 |
| daniel11 | gordonjcp: actually the first virus ever written was for a unix-variant. there are viruses that are written in javascript and run in your browser, a classic myspace virus will run on anything with a javascript interpreter and the right environment - including linux. frameworks like metasploit provide exploitations for lots of known, documented security holes in common nix utilities. and anyone is succeptable to running untrusted code. its iimportant to know | 00:11 |
| lurker | make them choose before the login | 00:11 |
| mjayk | gordonjcp: many dots helps if you can read | 00:11 |
| gordonjcp | daniel11: those are not viruses, because they cannot self-replicate and they are not persistent | 00:11 |
| lurker | Choose, not override | 00:12 |
| daniel11 | gordonjcp - i gave you several examples of self-replicating code in my previous | 00:12 |
| lurker | optional boot | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | daniel11: and yet despite there being many many more Linux machines connected to the Internet than Windows machines, they're just not infected anywhere like as often | 00:12 |
| gordonjcp | daniel11: have you ever seen an ADSL router that ran Windows...? | 00:13 |
| wilee-nilee | STOP THE OFFTOPIC BADWARE ARGUMENT. | 00:13 |
| daniel11 | Hahaha. Yes actually. | 00:13 |
| daniel11 | homebrew | 00:13 |
| gordonjcp | wilee-nilee: oops, sorry, just noticed this wasn't #u-ot | 00:13 |
| lurker | reboot the PC and see 2 Os options | 00:13 |
| daniel11 | yeah lets stop now guys. | 00:13 |
| wilee-nilee | lol thanks | 00:13 |
| rusty101 | If I have say, Flash or windows update on my Win7, will those holes be seen in my dual boot linux install when I boot Linux? | 00:13 |
| lurker | and then help me decide wich one to shoot | 00:13 |
| daniel11 | rusty101 - no. | 00:14 |
| gordonjcp | rusty101: no, because none of your Windows code is running | 00:14 |
| rusty101 | ahhhh | 00:14 |
| wilee-nilee | rusty101, Did you install from windows per-chance? | 00:14 |
| rusty101 | I am not going to | 00:14 |
| rusty101 | I will install from cd | 00:14 |
| lurker | or make them run in a bunble, haf the screen each | 00:14 |
| rusty101 | I am on windows now | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | rusty101, Cool, windows and ubuntu will be indifferent partitions then, use common sense, and you will be fine. | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | different* | 00:15 |
| daniel11 | lurker - I particularly like the idea of being given the option of which OS to shoot when you start your computer. | 00:15 |
| rusty101 | there will be the GRUB bootloader | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | !virus | rusty0101 here is basic info | 00:16 |
| ubottu | rusty0101 here is basic info: Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus | 00:16 |
| lurker | daniel11: it is not new, when windows gets moved, 2 boots are shown (2) | 00:17 |
| wilee-nilee | rusty101, There is a security section at the ubuntu forums I would ask questions there. | 00:17 |
| rusty101 | okay, thank you very much | 00:17 |
| Awaken | would like to point out windows update isn't a security hole, it's exactly the opposite | 00:17 |
| Awaken | :P | 00:17 |
| lurker | daniel11: it is quite nice to choose the options , moodwise | 00:17 |
| guest_01 | anyone know how to resume sshfs after hibernate. something about pm-utils eaelier but i didnt get it all | 00:18 |
| guest_01 | or better yet how to put it in fstab. os doesnt seem to like the sshfs command in there | 00:19 |
| lurker | daniel11: the next Os overwrote the MBR, and left the old OS buisnessless | 00:19 |
| lurker | daniel11: but the old guy is still there, just waiting to be awakened | 00:20 |
| lurker | daniel11: it is still there, but the loader in the beginning doesn't see them both. | 00:22 |
| lurker | Casey, do you know MBR? | 00:23 |
| Casey | lurker: I know of it, yes. | 00:23 |
| lurker | Oh thenk you | 00:24 |
| Casey | Lurker why do you ask? | 00:24 |
| lurker | Casey: do you know how to change boot options? | 00:24 |
| Casey | lurker you need to be more specific, bud. What are we changing, what OS's are we looking to use, etc... | 00:25 |

| daniel11 | can anyone help me with my x crashing problem? | 00:32 |
| mjayk | daniel11: can you get to a tty? i.e. is it defo an x problem | 00:32 |
| daniel11 | mjayk - nope, it freezes for all input. I can get to a tty before the crash, but I dont have time to type anything. | 00:33 |
| mjayk | if tty is crashing doesnt that say its not an x problem daniel11 ? I could be wrong | 00:34 |
| daniel11 | could be, could be. I'm not an expert. I'm just assuming its a nvidia drivers problem. there are some error messages - something about sdc1, something about plymouth being ok. Im a fast reader but I dont have time to read them. | 00:35 |
| mjayk | daniel11: i would be sceptical about saying its an x crash if you cant get to tty, afaik if x crashes you can mostly always get to tty | 00:36 |
| gustavo | Hi ya all | 00:36 |
| CIDR | 2 of my users went from getting maybe 30-40 spams a day to over 20k. And it's just crap like | 00:36 |
| CIDR | this: http://pastebin.com/VpMmeMsv any ideas at all? | 00:36 |
| gustavo | Will Ubuntu bring back evolution mail to work with the messaging icon an popper? | 00:37 |
| cgtdk | CIDR: Get a spamfilter | 00:37 |
| CIDR | I'm using one... | 00:37 |
| daniel11 | the last message is Starting CPU interrupts balancing daemon and then saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned | 00:37 |

| CIDR | no | 00:39 |

| hewhomust | personal opinion | 01:21 |
| netlar | dhia: I have both. love both | 01:21 |
| hewhomust | or windows is better trollolol | 01:21 |
| dhia | netlar: true mac is linux in disguise dawg ? | 01:21 |
| reisio | dhia: linux | 01:21 |
| reisio | mac is bsd in disguise | 01:22 |
| Malgorath | dhia: depends honestly ... comparing a PC to a MAC is like comparing a honda to a BMW. depends on what you do to the honda to make it better. And how often do you want to keep putting better in the honda, or do you want something everytime you turn the key it works | 01:22 |
| reisio | heavy, expensive disguise | 01:22 |
| netlar | dhia: uhh no, it is not open | 01:22 |
| hewhomust | linux is probably better because of the proprietary hardware | 01:22 |
| reisio | ... | 01:22 |
| hewhomust | that mac stuffs down users throats | 01:23 |
| Malgorath | btw OS X is based on BSD but MAC is hardware, which runs windows, OSX, and linux | 01:23 |

| === mjayk is now known as mj[away]k | ||
| reisio | daniel11: r, e, i, TAB | 01:24 |
| hewhomust | unless you go hackintosh | 01:24 |
| netlar | As I see it , biggest issue I have with Linux is that not enough software companies write softwear for it | 01:24 |
| reisio | netlar: how does that bother you? | 01:24 |
| tigrang | Is there a way to focus multiple windows progamatically at once. Currently I'm doing wmctrl -a in a loop, but I'd like all the windows to unminimize at once | 01:24 |
| reisio | tigrang: that isn't at once enough for you? | 01:25 |
| hewhomust | netlar: I don't really do anything that proprietary software is significantly better for | 01:25 |
| Malgorath | hewhomust: again, depends on more factors then just which is gud, its about reliablility. Also not many PCs I see come with 3 year protection that mac comes with | 01:25 |
| netlar | reisio: There are some titles that I would love to see on Linux, but have to use mac or even windoze to use | 01:25 |
| reisio | netlar: for example? | 01:25 |
| tigrang | reisio: I can see the first window raise, then the next, then the next with a delay - I'd like all to raise at the same time, if possible | 01:25 |
| netlar | Well, Intuit has tax sofware and quicken that i rely on | 01:25 |
| hewhomust | Malgorath: yeah macs does win in some areas | 01:25 |
| reisio | netlar: Unixland has alternatives to those that you could rely on instead | 01:26 |
| netlar | And no photoshop | 01:26 |
| reisio | has alternatives to that as well | 01:26 |
| netlar | reisio: I really do love gnucash, except for the reports | 01:26 |
| reisio | tigrang: there's a command or two for running commands simultaneously | 01:26 |
| reisio | tigrang: I forget its name | 01:26 |
| hewhomust | netlar: gimp but thats debatable as to how good it is compared to photoshop | 01:26 |
| Malgorath | hewhomust: actually mac wins in more areas then its given credit for(I'm talking the whole package of OSX and MAC Hardware) Such as most software coming out today can run on a 3 or 4 year old mac pro. Plus mac is easier for non-tech users | 01:26 |
| reisio | hewhomust: not any more debatable than anything else | 01:27 |
| tigrang | reisio: i've tried using a ; as well as & between the commands, but in that case no window gets raised, wondering if there's another tool or some other way to go about this | 01:27 |

| netlar | reisio: and proseries, from intuit | 01:28 |
| reisio | tigrang: if that doesn't work, you might look into devilspie / devilspie2 | 01:28 |

| mobile | sshfs#website.com:/opt/Music/ /home/luser/Music fuse -p4444 0 0 | 01:29 |
| netlar | reisio: I know I am being pretty shallow, but they are not as pretty | 01:29 |
| Malgorath | hewhomust: good point is laptops. Windows laptop cost you maybe 400$ but its hardware gets dated in a year to where you have to upgrade to a new one. Where as a mac pro laptop (1100$) will stay usable for 3 to 5 years with an amazing warranty | 01:29 |
| reisio | mobile: probably user or gid options or the like | 01:30 |
| daniel11 | I dont think my nvidia card *has* a power cord. why would that stop x starting and make me unable to get to tty? | 01:30 |
| reisio | netlar: pretty? | 01:30 |
| hewhomust | Malgorath: but isn't that an unfair comparison, for example any 1100 dollar laptop will last longer than a 400 dollar one | 01:30 |
| netlar | reisio: the gui and screens of some of the apps are not that polished | 01:30 |
| hewhomust | Malgorath: the warranty is true though | 01:30 |

| netlar | reisio: I know the functionality is there, but I am used to pretty | 01:30 |
| netlar | reisio: gnucash for one | 01:31 |
| Malgorath | hewhomust: its not really unfair | 01:31 |
| Malgorath | hewhomust: both are used for word processing, web surfing, video chatings/watching | 01:32 |
| reisio | netlar: so gnucash isn't quicken, that's your complaint? :p | 01:32 |

| reisio | so fix it :p | 01:33 |
| hewhomust | netlar: you could always modify it if you want lol but I would pick the other girl | 01:33 |
| reisio | if a few people paid a single developer as much as they pay for quicken, it would be however you want it to look by now | 01:33 |
| reisio | and the dev would be rich :p | 01:33 |

| Malgorath | daniel11: was this after a fresh install of 13.04? | 01:39 |
| jrib | netlar: you basically, say I promise to give $X to person who implements Y. You might want to check on gnucash mailing list about details (like if they have their own specific bounty program). If not, there's probably some more general site like launchpad or something else where you can post your bounty | 01:39 |

| netlar | jrib: I probably would not offer much more than $100, not sure how far that would go | 01:40 |
| Malgorath | netlar: you offer $100, 500 other people offer 100$, that motivates a dev team purdy fast :D | 01:40 |
| daniel11 | yep, lots of times. the most recent thign I did was install the (tested) nvidia binary drivers for hardware acceleration. so I reckon that is what is cuaisng the problem starting x. | 01:40 |

| its_steve | win 2003 first...then ubuntu | 01:43 |
| hewhomust | magdur whats your cpu usage? | 01:43 |
| Enissay | daniel11, nothing new... only some old errors while I was testing... the fact is that php code is displayed as text on my browser now... nothing is working xD | 01:43 |
| Malgorath | daniel11: If it was me, and you hadn't done much on this box, re install and use the nouveau driver, its gonna give you the most bang outta that card anyways | 01:43 |
| hewhomust | its_steve: how did you install it? | 01:43 |
| magdur | hewhomust: average %5 | 01:44 |
| daniel11 | Enissay: I do this for a living. PM me. | 01:44 |
| magdur | @hewhomust average %5 | 01:44 |
| Malgorath | Enissay: you probably disabled .php files in an httpd.conf file(or sub file) | 01:44 |
| its_steve | installed win 2003 first..then ubuntu with the live cd | 01:44 |
| hewhomust | magdur: Thats weird the hardware doesn't seem to be taxed too much | 01:44 |

| its_steve | Malgorath.....nope, never heard of it...I'll look it up | 01:45 |
| Malgorath | its fixed a few grub issues for me. | 01:46 |
| reisio | Malgorath: he couldn't if he wanted to | 01:46 |
| icedwater | It has to be an issue with X since my consoles are fine. They weren't before though, so it's probably not *just* an X thing. | 01:46 |
| daniel11 | Malgorath - the first thing I did was copy a huge bunch of old files onto the drive for safekeeping. and configured a bunch of stuff relating to network shares. if theres any way to brute-force removal of nvidia drivers from the recovery root terminal I'd rather do that. besides, this exact thing happened two years ago and I havent touched ubuntu since. if I go down that route, I dont know if I'll be able to persuade myself to.. | 01:46 |

| cmck193 | Malgorath: not sure what i did there. | 01:50 |
| Malgorath | Enissay: check out https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP and just double check your steps in there to see if anythign doesn't match | 01:50 |
| icedwater | Fixed, it was permissions on .Xauthority. Thanks, askubuntu.com | 01:50 |
| Malgorath | cmck193: isn't its echo '%Program Files%' | 01:51 |
| icedwater | Odd that it seemed to mangle my font sizes in the console too though. | 01:51 |
| Malgorath | cmck193: pretty sure there is a space in there | 01:51 |
| Malgorath | might need '%Program\ Files%' | 01:51 |
| Malgorath | cmck193: btw that command is to just show you the path to C:\Program Files\ | 01:52 |
| cmck193 | but it doesn't start winetricks | 01:52 |
| Malgorath | cmck193: perhaps you don't need to install anything | 01:54 |
| Malgorath | cmck193: you can also run winetricks from CLI on your own and install what you need | 01:54 |
| cmck193 | ok? the rift installer will not work | 01:54 |
| Malgorath | cmck193: whats it a gold or platinum rating on winehq? | 01:55 |
| Gabboz | Hi. | 01:56 |
| Malgorath | and the 'installer wont work' is just a lazy way of looking at it, run the command from CLI and see what the error is, sometimes it says things like "Needs vcreditinst.exe" or some crazy thing like that and you use winetricks to install it | 01:56 |
| Malgorath | Hello Gabboz | 01:56 |
| Gabboz | I have a PC which has a flaky on-board VGA. What .iso would I go for to have a completely text-mode installer? I want this PC to run as a file server. BTW, 12.04 is preferred. Thanks. | 01:56 |

| cynicist | Q_Continuum: I'd recommend using dd to write the iso to your usb flash drive (after being sure it is formatted fat32) using the command "sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/dev/sdX" where X is the letter of your usb drive (if you aren't sure you can find it using "df -h") | 02:36 |
| Q_Continuum | cynicist: I don't presently have a Linux-host machine to use dd from is the issue. | 02:37 |
| wilee-nilee | KxTwo, Choose transmission, or make sure it is a compatible torrent file. | 02:37 |

| wilee-nilee | KxTwo, Can you the open transmission and load it? | 02:38 |
| cynicist | KxTwo: what browser are you using? | 02:39 |
| wilee-nilee | KxTwo, I use deluge. | 02:39 |
| KxTwo | I'm using the default firefox, nothing has changed I have no idea why it is doing this, I dl torrents regularly | 02:39 |
| wilee-nilee | KxTwo, The are several types of torrents. | 02:40 |
| bdd_newbie | ohk xterm & does that can I at the same time make it execute another command , without manually going to the new terminal? | 02:40 |
| cynicist | KxTwo: you can go to edit > preferences > applications and set the magnet association to the torrent client you are using | 02:40 |
| cynicist | KxTwo: (or torrent if you are actually downloading torrent files) | 02:40 |
| wilee-nilee | could just be bogus as well | 02:40 |
| Q_Continuum | Grabbing ISO on this other machine, will take a moment, then will dd it to the drive. | 02:41 |

| Q_Continuum | well...from what the mirror had for an md5 | 03:14 |
| cynicist | Q_Continuum: I would try a different iso (downloaded using bittorrent is best for automatic file checking) and if that fails as well it could just be your flash drive having issues | 03:15 |

| rreed | My mouse won't register any changes from the default setting. After lowering the sensitivity and closing the Mouse Settings window, it resets every time. Any suggestions? | 04:38 |
| pvl1 | resets after closing the window you mean? | 04:39 |
| holstein | rreed: so, it "registers" the settings? and resets them? | 04:39 |
| rreed | pvl1, Yes, after I close the window, it resets. | 04:39 |
| rreed | holstein, It registers the settings if I raise it from default, but not when I lower it. | 04:40 |
| rreed | Was fixing to go try to edit my xorg.conf, but figured I'd check in here to see if anyone might have any other ideas. | 04:40 |
| pvl1 | rreed: have you tried editing the config files for X (im pretty sure its X?) | 04:40 |

| thunder1212 | hi, i am enabling ufw and i have access to a network printer.. so will i allow an exception by sudo ufw allow 631/udp ? | 04:56 |
| holstein | thunder1212: if thats what the printer needs | 04:57 |
| thunder1212 | holstein: how do i know? i assume the printer is accesed from port 631. | 04:57 |
| thunder1212 | holstein: and does ufw really protect from hackers? | 04:58 |
| holstein | thunder1212: i wouldnt assume.. i would pull the firewall down, and test.. then you'll know the printer is working | 04:58 |
| holstein | thunder1212: you are likely behind a router, with a firewall, so does your system need one at home? you have to answer that | 04:59 |
| holstein | !firewall | 04:59 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 04:59 |

| wilee-nilee | YokoBR, I figured so. | 05:32 |
| wilee-nilee | robertzaccour, What release? | 05:32 |
| robertzaccour | wilee-nilee: current | 05:33 |
| wilee-nilee | robertzaccour, The minimal is still there now called alternative I believe. | 05:33 |
| wilee-nilee | http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads | 05:34 |
| robertzaccour | wilee-nilee: I mean like it used to be where it opens with no GUI with the repos at your hands so I can install whatever DE I want without having to bother with leftovers from another DE | 05:34 |
| wilee-nilee | robertzaccour, Look at the link, that is what it is. | 05:34 |
| wilee-nilee | only the name has changed | 05:35 |
| theadmin | robertzaccour: The alternative downloads has a netinstall image. That's what you want. | 05:35 |

| asdasdasd | I need halp wit my install uv debanto | 05:37 |

| ubottu | asdasdasd: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 05:37 |
| YokoBR | this is an off topic, but just to share because i'm so happy: today i've found my biological family on facebook. My biological sister, to be exact. Ok, sorry. | 05:37 |
| lgc | wilee-nilee: I mean having options, like something Gnome-like without having to uninstall Unity. | 05:37 |
| asdasdasd | unity is my favrte ice cream flabor of debanto | 05:38 |
| lgc | YokoBR: Really? | 05:38 |
| asdasdasd | yes | 05:38 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, Which gnome the gnome 3 desktop called the gnome-shell, or the fallback a pseudo gnome 2? | 05:38 |
| wilee-nilee | asdasdasd, This is not chat it is support, go to #ubuntu-offtopic | 05:38 |
| theadmin | lgc: The closest to the old, traditional Ubuntu style is Xfce. You can install Xubuntu, or xubuntu-desktop from the repos. It's got exactly the same feel, but more functional | 05:38 |
| lgc | Gnome 3 is sort of Unity-like, for what I've heard. I suppose I want the pseudo-gnome thing. | 05:39 |
| YokoBR | lgc, really, i couldn't believe that. They've lived in 3, 4 different cities. And then i've found an user with the same surname... so i've found her :) | 05:39 |
| YokoBR | we chatted all day and shared photos | 05:39 |
| theadmin | lgc: There's also gnome-fallback-session but it became rather limited now | 05:39 |

| YokoBR | years | 05:39 |
| YokoBR | thanks, lgc :) | 05:39 |
| robertzaccour | wilee-nilee: Can the alternate install install Ubuntu without a DE at all? | 05:39 |
| wilee-nilee | YokoBR, #ubuntu-offtopic please and congrats. ;) | 05:40 |
| Dresk|Laptop | Shameless repost, beccause I would deeply appreciate a response! :) Hey, so I'm switching over from Mandrake / Mageia, and the one BIG thing I loved about Mageia was drakxservices, the thing that listed everything that started at boot and had start / stop buttons and a checkbox for if it should start at boot - does Ubuntu have something similar? | 05:40 |
| theadmin | robertzaccour: No, it's just a text installer for the full Ubuntu setup, use the mini.iso (netinstall) | 05:40 |
| YokoBR | sorry, wilee-nilee, and thanks for the tip | 05:40 |
| wilee-nilee | robertzaccour, yeah, I believe it is the base without X if you add nothing | 05:40 |
| wilee-nilee | !nounity | lgc | 05:41 |
| ubottu | lgc: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 05:41 |
| robertzaccour | wilee-nilee: so would mini.iso or net installer be best for installing without a DE? I ask because I wanna install Mate on it without having another DE I don't want. Until Ubuntu has a Mate derivative that is. | 05:41 |

| gordonjcp | MarTrom: can you actually connect to the Internet? | 05:44 |
| wilee-nilee | lgc, see the playing around section for the meta lists. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ | 05:45 |
| theadmin | lgc: A metapackage is such a package that is empty, and it's sole purpose is to pull in other packages through dependencies | 05:45 |

| theadmin | Increase: If not, it won't work with apt | 05:57 |
| z8z | Increase: If you downloaded something you have to compile with configure unless is a binary or a package | 05:57 |
| Increase | I have no clue what the repositories is | 05:57 |

| z8z | Increase: Just a database of softwares | 05:58 |

| z8z | Increase: but still you can add specific repository and you have it | 06:01 |
| theadmin | z8z: Nah, they just can't add ALL the software to the database, after all, there's tons of it | 06:01 |
| lgc | theadmin: you were right. Upon updating it became aware of xubuntu-desktop. | 06:03 |
| z8z | well i can't ever see any network attack tool in ubuntu repos | 06:03 |
| theadmin | lgc: Yay. | 06:03 |
| theadmin | z8z: aircrack-ng is. Reaver is, too, but only since Raring. | 06:03 |
| z8z | theadmin: ok probably became stable then | 06:04 |
| theadmin | z8z: Stability is not the issue, keeping track of thousands of pieces of software is :P And deciding whether their quality satisfies Ubuntu | 06:04 |

| danny4way | I just run sudo apt-get update. | 06:24 |
| danny4way | It doens'nt work | 06:24 |
| danny4way | But I will try your command. | 06:24 |
| danny4way | Hold on. | 06:24 |
| z8z | danny4way: what it says? | 06:24 |
| danny4way | I am not sure. I closed it. | 06:24 |
| z8z | goddard: why you would ever need to get something you putted in the trash? | 06:24 |
| danny4way | Because they have all those results about all links and stuff. | 06:25 |

| danny4way | And ? | 06:26 |
| danny4way | z8z | 06:26 |
| danny4way | I tried that before already. It just actually update ubuntu and other built in apps | 06:26 |
| danny4way | But I can't update apps like PlayonLinux or something like wine | 06:26 |
| danny4way | BTW, apt-get upgrade doesn't work | 06:29 |
| danny4way | It says E: Could not open lock file/var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 06:29 |

| danny4way | What to do? | 06:30 |
| danny4way | Anyone? | 06:30 |
| danny4way | I seriously need to update my app (PlayonLinux) to install windows app that I want. | 06:30 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: what does the error message say? | 06:30 |
| danny4way | E: Could not open lock file/var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) | 06:30 |
| danny4way | E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? | 06:31 |
| gordonjcp | okay | 06:31 |
| gordonjcp | break it down | 06:31 |
| peterrooney | danny4way: re-read the whole error message. | 06:31 |
| Myrtti | danny4way: sudo apt-get | 06:31 |
| danny4way | Oh. My bad | 06:31 |
| gordonjcp | Myrtti: if you just give people the answer they don't learn ;-) | 06:31 |
| danny4way | I didn't put sudo | 06:31 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: the clue is the "are you root?" | 06:31 |
| danny4way | But still. Results come out with 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded | 06:32 |
| danny4way | What does that suppose to mean? Doesn't that sudo apt-get upgrade command suppose to update my apps? | 06:32 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: right, but only stuff that is packaged | 06:32 |
| danny4way | But still my "PlayonLinux" is still in same version. | 06:32 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: where did you install this PlayonLinux from? | 06:33 |
| babinlonston | any one there | 06:33 |
| danny4way | I am not sure but it's either by commands from terminal or software center | 06:33 |
| sgo11 | anyone ever successfully configured system wide socks proxy? google search tells me no one is successful on this. | 06:34 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: if there's an updated package available from whoever provides that, you could try installing that | 06:34 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: if you install over the top of an older version, it will use the newer version | 06:34 |
| danny4way | Oh really? | 06:34 |
| danny4way | So if i do sudo apt-get install playonlinux again it will install newer version? | 06:35 |
| danny4way | Is that what you are saying? | 06:35 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: if there's a newer version packaged for the distro you're using | 06:35 |
| danny4way | OH okay. | 06:36 |

| danny4way | But in order to install the program that I want, It has to be 4.2.1 | 06:37 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: well the one packaged is 4.0.14 | 06:39 |
| danny4way | Oh. I will just look through it. | 06:40 |
| gordonjcp | danny4way: if there's a newer one on the author's website, packaged as a .deb for Ubuntu, then you can download and install that | 06:40 |

| Lope | llutz: the UUID is correct (comparing sudo blkid and cat /etc/fstab ) | 08:07 |
| al_nz1 | thanks | 08:08 |
| llutz | Lope: but "df" shows wrong size? what does parted tell you as size for /dev/sda4? | 08:08 |
| Lope | I noticed the format of the first few UUIDs in my fstab file are different to the one I added. | 08:08 |
| Lope | the one I added has no punctuation, its all uppercase hexadecimal. | 08:08 |
| === luke_ is now known as lewq | ||
| llutz | Lope: use UUIDs given by blkid to be sure | 08:09 |
| Lope | the ones that were generated by my install are lowercase, longer and have a few hyphens in them | 08:09 |
| Lope | llutz: yes using the one exactly given by blkid | 08:09 |
| Lope | do I not need quotes around it? (i have no quotes) | 08:09 |
| llutz | Lope: no | 08:09 |
| Lope | its just UUID=AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFF /home/bob/stuff ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0 | 08:10 |
| llutz | Lope: looks fine (just umask=003 is odd, but...) | 08:10 |
| Lope | parted -l says its 654GB | 08:10 |
| Lope | whats umask? I copied it off an ubuntu answers webpage. | 08:11 |
| Lope | I just changed the uid and gid to equal the values given by the 'id | 08:11 |
| Lope | ' command | 08:11 |
| Lope | and of course the UUID and mount dir | 08:11 |
| llutz | Lope: your fstab-line contains "umask=003", that will cause the mount to be rwxrwxr-- (missing x for "o"), that's a bit... unusual | 08:11 |
| al_nz1 | and, please, whats the best way to cp a bunch of data from one nix system to another? sftp or something? | 08:11 |
| Lope | llutz: is it possible that ubuntu is auto mounting my hard drive at bootup and there is a conflict? | 08:12 |
| al_nz1 | I really want to copy the /mnt/disk/Baker to new folder | 08:12 |
| Lope | whats o? | 08:12 |
| llutz | Lope: "others" | 08:13 |
| Lope | what umask do you recommend? | 08:13 |
| llutz | Lope: "0002", depends on the usage (more users than just you? etc.pp) | 08:13 |
| Lope | just me. I want to be able to execute shell scripts etc on the partition? | 08:14 |
| llutz | Lope: if it is an internal drive, it shouldn't be mounted by the system. or is that a wubi-installation? there it might be different, i don't know | 08:14 |
| babinlonston | Will This allow the incoming and out coming for Specified Ports and how can i block all other requests in Single line http://paste.ubuntu.com/5931943/ | 08:14 |
| Lope | its a huge data partition. I'm moving over from windows. | 08:14 |
| Lope | Well, what happens is when I boot up its not automatically mounted. but its shown in the file manager. if I click on the drive label, then it mounts. | 08:15 |
| Lope | the reason I added it to my fstab is I want it to auto-mount | 08:15 |
| Lope | without me having to go into the file manager to open it and make it mount that way. | 08:16 |
| Lope | it is an internal drive. | 08:16 |
| Supaplex | if a download url (2.2gb) has no torrent, can I create a torrent using a webseed, while not yet having the file locally? This wireless isp is the suck, but I have as many PCs for no extra cost. 1 download = 0.7mbit, but if I can bootstrap that, then I can fetch it with aria2c and local peer discovery just fine (it's worked for linux DVD torrents before etc). | 08:17 |
| llutz | Lope: well, it is mounted, as "mount" stated. but the difference in sizes is odd... you'd perform a fs-check in windows, then try again | 08:17 |
| Lope | hmm | 08:17 |
| Lope | can I unmount, then re-mount? | 08:18 |
| Lope | what is the command for that? | 08:18 |
| llutz | sudo umount /home/bob/stuff | 08:18 |
| llutz | sudo mount /home/bob/stuff | 08:18 |
| Supaplex | Lope: llutz assumes it's in your fstab (with all the right paramaters) | 08:18 |
| llutz | Supaplex: which he has, thats part of the problem | 08:19 |
| Supaplex | k. tiny screen here :) (scrollback's a pain) | 08:19 |
| Supaplex | Lope: sounds like noauto is in the fstab. remove it to mount at boot time. | 08:20 |
| llutz | UUID=AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFF /home/bob/stuff ntfs | 08:21 |
| llutz | rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0 | 08:21 |
| llutz | Supaplex: ^^ that#s his fstab entry | 08:21 |
| Lope | Supaplex: it does have the flag auto. it does not have noauto | 08:22 |
| llutz | "auto" is default, you don't really need it. just make sure not to have "noauto" :) Lope | 08:23 |
| Lope | its just (UUID obfuscated, gid and uid are the same as what 'id' reports) UUID=AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFF /home/bob/stuff ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0 | 08:23 |
| Lope | how can I unmount it and then re-mount it? | 08:23 |
| llutz | sudo umount /home/bob/stuff Lope | 08:23 |
| llutz | sudo mount /home/bob/stuff Lope | 08:23 |
| Supaplex | I see that. I'd have to unravel the init.d scripts - maybe he needs a variant of ntfs, but if ntfs alone works (or something from /proc/filesystems is missing a kernel module), or it's really fuse related. Dunno. | 08:23 |
| Lope | you see, yesterday I added that line to my fstab, then ran sudo mount -a. and it mounted perfectly. today I booted up, and it says its mounted, but reported size is wrong, and the mount dir is empty. | 08:24 |
| Lope | weird ok so I tried sudo umount /home/bob/stuff and it said its not mounted | 08:26 |
| Supaplex | Lope: anything relevant in dmesg or /var/log/* ? Was the filesystem cleanly unmounted? (may need either fsck, or real windows chkdsk) - throw anything interesting from dmesg/logs in a pastebin | 08:26 |

| Lope | so I ran sudo mount -a AGAIN. and it didn't give errors (it never has) now its mounted perfectly. really weird | 08:26 |
| Lope | Should I reboot and see what happens again? | 08:26 |

| Lope | dunno why it has lt and gt around it. | 08:29 |

| Linux_noob | okay, I've rebooted and I have the same situation as before. the mount dir is emtpy. | 08:33 |

| === Linux_noob is now known as Lope | ||
| Lope | hehe, me again. | 08:36 |
| llutz | Lope: what kind of partition is /dev/sda4, is it a normal primary or an extended? (sudo parted -l should tell you) | 08:38 |
| Lope | sudo mount -l shows /dev/sda5 on /home/bob/stuff type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) [Stuff] | 08:38 |
| Lope | erm, i meant sda4 | 08:39 |
| Lope | whats up with default_permissions ? | 08:39 |
| Lope | okay, well... its actually sda5 haha. i was obfuscating it. (since I'm a linux noob I dunno how much info is too much to share :) ) | 08:40 |
| Lope | its in some kind of extended partition | 08:40 |
| Lope | I'll show a printout | 08:40 |
| llutz | Lope: stop obfuscating stuff, it makes helping harder | 08:41 |
| ballock | I need to trick apt/dpkg into thinking that already-installed package X provides package Y (for testing), so I modified /var/lib/dpkg/status, but it seems apt-get is still trying to install package Y. Is there another cache I need to update for apt? | 08:41 |
| Lope | Sorry | 08:41 |
| Lope | my partition listing http://pastebin.com/3MtCG9Lj | 08:42 |
| Lope | its the sda5 I want to mount. | 08:43 |
| llutz | Lope: "sudo blkid /dev/sda5" is that the UUID your /etc/fstab entry contains? | 08:44 |
| Lope | yes 100% exactly | 08:44 |
| ikonia | ballock: you can't do that | 08:44 |
| ikonia | ballock: nor should you do that | 08:44 |
| ikonia | ballock: you should match dependencies correctly | 08:45 |
| ballock | I know I should not do that | 08:45 |
| TC|Laptop | Heh, not a common IRCer, but thought this might be the best place to ask: has anyone noticed this? http://www.instantasp.co.uk/Products/Influx/ | 08:45 |
| ballock | but I don't want to rebuild the package with correct dependencies to verify this on my system | 08:45 |
| TC|Laptop | That logo looks *awfully* familiar... | 08:45 |
| Lope | perhaps I should use options different to my current options? UUID=ABCDEF /home/bob/stuff ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0 | 08:46 |
| ballock | ikonia: is there another database that gets considered for dpkg status by apt? | 08:46 |
| llutz | !ntfs | Lope | 08:46 |
| ubottu | Lope: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE | 08:46 |
| TC|Laptop | Does anyone here know who I should flick this off to? It looks mighty suspicously like trademark infringement (assuming the Ubuntu logo is in fact trademarked) | 08:46 |
| llutz | !ntfs-3g | Lope these links should give you the options you need | 08:47 |
| ubottu | Lope these links should give you the options you need: ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions. Installation instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MountingWindowsPartitions | 08:47 |
| ikonia | ballock: the internal binary one | 08:47 |
| ikonia | TC|Laptop: no-one, don't worry about it | 08:47 |
| ballock | I thought so, but I couldn't find it in /var/lib/apt | 08:47 |
| ballock | Is there a way to regenerate it? | 08:47 |
| ikonia | ballock: only with "factual" data | 08:47 |
| ballock | where is it? | 08:48 |

| === ecthiender is now known as ecthiender|AFK | ||
| ikonia | ballock: it's /var/lib/dpkg - somewhere like that, I don't remember off the top of my head | 08:48 |
| ballock | ikonia: can't find it there, there's just the list of available packages | 08:49 |
| ballock | no binary files, either | 08:49 |
| ikonia | ballock: it is around | 08:50 |
| ikonia | but you can't modify it | 08:50 |
| Supaplex | Lope: that's a good sign. sda ... is partition detection. | 08:50 |
| ballock | Tell me a reason I should not claim oracle-java7-jre provides sun-java6-jre in my current system. | 08:51 |
| ikonia | because it doesn't | 08:51 |
| Lope | i see ntfs-3g mentioned a lot, as being a requirement for RW. I've just got ntfs in my fstab. should I change it to ntfs-3g? | 08:52 |
| ballock | Ok, tell me a reason I should modify the jxplorer package to claim it also works with oracle-java7 without knowing it works there? | 08:52 |
| Lope | I'll try this example given in the ubuntu help page 'MountingWindowsPartitions': UUID=519CB82E5888AD0F /media/Data ntfs-3g defaults,windows_names,locale=en_US.utf8 0 0 | 08:52 |
| ikonia | ballock: it's up to you, do what you want | 08:52 |
| ballock | of course, I just wanted to know if it's my bad or if there is a binary db created of the status file, as I couldn't find it. | 08:53 |
| thunder1212 | hi | 08:53 |
| ballock | thanks for that, though | 08:53 |
| ikonia | ballock: there is a binary file / db | 08:53 |
| ballock | I'll try strace on apt-get to find it | 08:53 |
| Lope | I see the ubuntu help page doesn't specify a uid or gid. does that mean it will be systemwide | 08:54 |
| thunder1212 | holstein: there is a libpeerconnection.log file automatically created in my home directory why? | 08:54 |

| thunder1212 | libpeerconnection.log | 08:56 |
| thunder1212 | jony_easyrider: lubuntu12.04 | 08:56 |
| Lope | sudo mount -l is showing that its mounted. but the folder is empty. maybe the NTFS partition is damaged. | 08:57 |
| Lope | is the linux NTFS driver a bit dodgy? is it recommended to write to a NTFS partition? | 08:57 |
| ikonia | Lope: hang on | 08:57 |
| ikonia | Lope: can you pastebin the output of the command "mount" please into a pastebin | 08:57 |
| Noskcaj | jony_easyrider, Lubuntu 13.04 is my recommendation | 08:58 |
| Lope | recently I used a VM from linux that was stored in a NTFS. the NTFS partition developed errors. next time I booted windows it found problems and deleted some of the VM files, moving them into a folder called found.000 | 08:58 |
| thunder1212 | libpeerconnection.log created in home why? | 08:58 |
| Lope | sure | 08:58 |
| Noskcaj | 10.04 isn't supported and it's very old, lubuntu didn't make an LTS in 12.04 | 08:59 |
| llutz | thunder1212: chrome/chromium | 08:59 |
| thunder1212 | llutz: ok thnx :) | 08:59 |
| ikonia | 10.04 still has server support | 08:59 |
| Lope | mount: http://pastebin.com/taRszb9i parted: http://pastebin.com/3MtCG9Lj | 09:00 |
| thunder1212 | llutz: i am using ubuntu 12.04 and i have disabled all updates but if i want to update firefox then what to do? | 09:01 |
| Lope | thunder1212: sudo apt-get update | 09:01 |
| llutz | thunder1212: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox | 09:02 |
| Lope | then you need to upgrade, specifically the firefox package, somehow | 09:02 |
| ikonia | Lope: ok, so that ntfs partition is mounted using "fuser" which is the "ntfs-3g" component you whre talking about | 09:02 |
| thunder1212 | Lope: but i do not want to update my whole system | 09:02 |
| thunder1212 | llutz: ok got it | 09:02 |
| ikonia | Lope: so if you go into /home/bob/stuff is that directory empty ? | 09:02 |
| llutz | thunder1212: that will update the database and update firefox if there is an update | 09:02 |
| Lope | thunder1212: update doesn't update any programs, just your apt-database of what is available. | 09:03 |
| thunder1212 | Lope: ok thnx:) | 09:03 |
| Lope | sudo apt-get upgrade will upgrade all your programs :) | 09:03 |
| Lope | yes its empty | 09:03 |
| Lope | (ikonia) | 09:04 |
| ikonia | Lope: ok, so that's as "honest" as it gets | 09:04 |
| Lope | but whats weird is yesterday it mounted fine, and earlier in this channel today after mounting and dismounting (with varied commands) it eventually mounted perfectly. | 09:05 |
| ikonia | Lope: it's mounted fine now | 09:05 |
| Lope | whats that command where you can see how much free space on your mounts? | 09:05 |
| Lope | then fine ain't good enough :p | 09:05 |
| Lope | cos I can't see the hundreds of GB of dirs and files :) | 09:06 |
| Lope | perhaps I need to boot windows again for a NTFS scan. | 09:06 |
| Lope | going forward am I going to have endless hassles using a NTFS partition for storing the bulk of my data? | 09:06 |
| ikonia | Lope: you should verify the partition within windows if possible. | 09:06 |
| Lope | should I just copy the data off and format that partition as EXTx? | 09:07 |
| Lope | I've pretty much had enough of windows. | 09:07 |
| ikonia | Lope: the ntfs kernel module is "usable" and quite mature, now so you should not have problems | 09:07 |

| shuxiong | and using apt-get source packageName -t unstable, but | 09:08 |
| shuxiong | The value 'unstable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources | 09:08 |

| Dr_willis | 'view' the source code in a text editor. not your browser perhaps | 10:58 |
| Dr_willis | then edit it. | 10:58 |
| mudkip908 | client: when you try to view the source code of the website, or the files? | 10:59 |

| BluesKaj | Hiyas all | 11:00 |

| somsip | client: the tool you use may allow you to add the HTTP basic auth details in the URL. Eg: http://user:password@www.example.com | 11:01 |
| Dr_willis | bobslee, and a '9p' is what? | 11:02 |
| mudkip908 | Dr_willis: probably a Bell Plan9 partition | 11:03 |
| bobslee | Dr_willis: a plan9 (bell labs) filesystem | 11:03 |
| Dr_willis | see if the kernel supports the filesystem, man mount may mention it also. | 11:03 |
| Supaplex | hah. everytime the wife wants me to install something on the w7 tablet, I tell her try linux. And, this is why :D https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B9C_aaCX9CyJMklhWGt3dTVmczQ/edit?usp=sharing | 11:03 |

| Dr_willis | used to be come /proc/fileystems (i think?) file that listed all supported filesystems by the kernel | 11:03 |
| client | I'm not sure which index.html to pastebin. There is 1 for the web app itself and another 1 | 11:04 |
| mudkip908 | client: Both of them | 11:04 |
| Dr_willis | client, so pastebin themboth? not like they charge :P | 11:04 |
| bobslee | Dr_willis: thanx. there's no 9p in it.. hold on | 11:04 |
| Dr_willis | bobslee, or linux dosent call it '9p' | 11:04 |

| Lunar_LanderU | the syslog doesn't have anything that could help as far as I see it | 11:09 |
| Lunar_LanderU | (also I am at work now) | 11:09 |
| mudkip908 | client: You are trying to mirror a webapp. | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | use hibernate instead of suspend perhaps. - could be its getting some sort of key click, or mouse move thats unsuspending it. (i dont use either one) | 11:10 |
| mudkip908 | That won't really work | 11:10 |
| client | Yes mudkip908 | 11:10 |
| client | Why not? | 11:10 |
| Lunar_LanderU | there is no hibernate in 12.04 anymore | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | Lunar_LanderU, it can be enabled. | 11:10 |
| Lunar_LanderU | ah | 11:10 |
| mudkip908 | If it was only clientside (javascript) then it would be possible | 11:10 |
| Dr_willis | you need a swap partion = ram+a bit more. | 11:11 |
| Lunar_LanderU | also, the strange thing is, that it turns on when I am lying in bed, 3 m away from the system | 11:11 |
| Lunar_LanderU | yeah I got a 2 GB swap which the installer made | 11:11 |
| mudkip908 | However it also uses serverside scripts, which you can't mirror | 11:11 |
| client | mudkip908 it looks like it does mostly run client-side | 11:11 |

| Twenty-three | ...the bar at the top, not sure what the problem might be, any clues? | 11:12 |
| Lunar_LanderU | Dr_willis: the only thing that I can imagine besides that is when reading this http://askubuntu.com/questions/158532/xubuntu-12-04-restarts-after-suspend-only-from-my-account , that my screen is set to go black after 15 minutes. on my old machine I used to set that to 1 h | 11:13 |
| Lunar_LanderU | but I will try to enable hibernate mode | 11:13 |
| mudkip908 | client: When you open the index.html it just takes you back to the login page? | 11:13 |
| Dr_willis | Lunar_LanderU, i dont use either one. I got a SSD hd - i can boot in like 15 sec. so dont see much point in hibernate or suspend | 11:13 |
| Lunar_LanderU | yeah | 11:14 |
| client | yes it does. But from what I see on the actual code itself, all the layouts, etc. is there. I just need to bypass the login page @ mudkip908 | 11:14 |
| Lunar_LanderU | in my case it is a question of closing Firefox and Pidgin and so on and then shutting down | 11:14 |
| Lunar_LanderU | I got a normal HDD but that is also pretty fast, so I probably also would do a normal shutdown now | 11:14 |
| mudkip908 | client: What happens when you load it with javascript disabled? | 11:15 |
| Lunar_LanderU | was just wondering why it happened, the old box could sit a whole day in suspend | 11:15 |

| karoly | So it's normal and it will be fixed ?? | 11:53 |
| reisio | karoly: it may just magically start working afterwards | 11:53 |
| magdur | computer running ? | 11:53 |
| reisio | HypnotiX1: hrmm? | 11:53 |
| reisio | magdur: rephrase your question, it makes no sense | 11:54 |
| KaitoKid | good day guys, I have a problem with my Alt & Ctrl key. When I press once the Alt key I can able to move the window without holding it and I have to press it again to deactivate it just the same the Ctrl key but instead of moving the window it adjust the zoom level. | 11:54 |
| reisio | magdur: "uptime"? | 11:54 |
| KaitoKid | BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 | 11:54 |
| HypnotiX1 | i set a shared folder from the VB, with auto mount on but i dont see it in windows | 11:54 |
| karoly | No reisio it doesn't work :( i can change the volume but it doesn't work... | 11:54 |
| reisio | KaitoKid: one of your ctrl/alt/shift/windows/mouse buttons are stuck, give them all a good smack | 11:54 |
| reisio | HypnotiX1: open my computer | 11:55 |
| reisio | HypnotiX1: it'll be nearer the end | 11:55 |
| magdur | definitely | 11:55 |
| reisio | HypnotiX1: and you have to install guest additions first | 11:55 |
| KaitoKid | reisio: But I tried it with windows and it's fine | 11:55 |
| reisio | karoly: with alsamixer? | 11:55 |
| KaitoKid | reisio: I'm only having a problem with Ubuntu :/ | 11:55 |
| reisio | KaitoKid: tried what? | 11:55 |
| karoly | yep, i change the master volume and the "bubble" in the top right corner appears and everithing but the plugin in the bar still had the icon for "muted" | 11:56 |
| reisio | KaitoKid: does your keyboard have a function lock? | 11:56 |
| KaitoKid | reisio: Here's the scenario. When I press Alt key once, the move window function activates without holding the Alt key. and to deactivate the move window I have to press Alt key again | 11:56 |
| KaitoKid | reisio: Like a caps lock, to be similar | 11:56 |
| magdur | when is my computers uptime ? | 11:57 |
| reisio | KaitoKid: maybe you have accidentally enabled sticky keys or something | 11:57 |
| reisio | magdur: open a terminal, type 'uptime', then ENTER | 11:57 |
| === kaspersky is now known as AcidDexter | ||
| reisio | karoly: so the icon is just misrepresentative? | 11:58 |
| reisio | 'cause that isn't exactly what you said earlier :) | 11:58 |
| karoly | Exatly, but i can still set the volume with the keyboard buttons V+ & V- . Not only the icon but the entire plugin, when i click on it nothing appears but a little white square | 11:59 |
| magdur | thank to reisio | 12:00 |
| reisio | karoly: maybe ask #xubuntu | 12:00 |
| karoly | .....excuse me.. how?? xD | 12:00 |
| HypnotiX1 | reisio: sry im lost :) ubuntu is my host, windows 7 is my guest | 12:00 |

| HypnotiX1 | i shared the folder rebooted and yeah nothing | 12:01 |
| pvl1 | /close | 12:01 |
| karoly | ok thanks | 12:01 |
| reisio | HypnotiX1: did you install guest additions? | 12:01 |
| HypnotiX1 | nop | 12:02 |
| reisio | didn't I say to, like two or three times? :p | 12:05 |
| reisio | or five | 12:05 |
| HypnotiX1 | i cant find the devices menu :) | 12:05 |
| HypnotiX1 | im on step 6 :D | 12:05 |
| HypnotiX1 | Click on Install Guest Additions… from the Devices menu, then run mount /media/cdrom. | 12:05 |
| SuperLag | What exactly is the ~/Templates for? I know that probably sounds like an obvious question... "to put templates in"... but it seems like if Ubuntu were going to create that dir in your ~, then it would have some sample templates already....? | 12:06 |
| SuperLag | reisio: no... 7 | 12:06 |
| reisio | SuperLag: that's a freedesktop thing, Ubuntu probably simply did not remove it | 12:07 |
| reisio | SuperLag: you can however | 12:07 |

| magdur | superlag sorry i dont understand | 12:09 |
| MonkeyDust | magdur ubuntu uses iptables | 12:09 |
| reisio | they all use iptables | 12:09 |
| reisio | doesn't it come with ufw? | 12:09 |
| HypnotiX1 | reisio: i think that guide is if i run ubuntu from windows | 12:09 |
| HypnotiX1 | not the other way around | 12:10 |
| karoly | it's hard to find 13.10 assistance D: | 12:10 |
| SuperLag | magdur: I'm just saying that any firewall is better than no firewall :) | 12:10 |
| SuperLag | karoly: #ubuntu+1 | 12:10 |
| MonkeyDust | magdur ufw is a basic GUI, fwbuilder is more advanced | 12:10 |
| reisio | HypnotiX1: yes I said that as well | 12:10 |
| HypnotiX1 | well i have ubuntu installed and im running windows in the vbox | 12:11 |

| Twenty-three | Dr_willis: hi, i came here earlier asking for help with the GUI not loading when booting ubuntu, you were right, i selected a different kernel in GRUB and the resolution is correct, everything fine, except the launcher bar and the bar at the top are still absent and i don't know what to do about it | 12:23 |
| KaitoKid | guys, can someone help with my problem? When I press the Alt key it activates the move window function in which case I don't have to hold the Alt key anymore, and to deactivate the move window function I have to press Alt key again. | 12:23 |
| KaitoKid | Similar to caps/num lock | 12:23 |
| Twenty-three | kaitokid, maybe look into your desktop shortcuts? | 12:24 |

| ramsrambo | karoly : yup! | 12:51 |
| ffio | xormor: ok :) | 12:51 |
| karoly | ramsrambo: and it gives you an error and the boot stops or it boots from HDD skipping the USB ? | 12:51 |
| ramsrambo | karoly : it stops after saying "Boot Error" | 12:52 |
| karoly | ramsrambo: that's strange... what model is your BIOS ? | 12:52 |
| ramsrambo | karoly : intel P4 865gbf mother board | 12:53 |
| zuzu | how come my system only sees 7GB of my 20GB partition? | 12:54 |
| karoly | ramsrambo: yes but i need the BIOS model not the mother board | 12:54 |
| ramsrambo | karoly : Bios ver BF86510A.86A.0077.P25 | 12:55 |

| BluesKaj | oops zuzu , have you tried vmware player? | 13:05 |
| Johnny_Linux | ramsrambo, maybe you need to reinstall the usb drive, remember, format it to msdos first | 13:05 |
| Johnny_Linux | fat | 13:05 |
| Johnny_Linux | 32 | 13:05 |
| ramsrambo | Johnny_Linux : okk! just use format cmd on win 7 | 13:06 |
| zuzu | BluesKaj: yes it works but no snapshotting | 13:06 |
| zuzu | BluesKaj: that's the limitation. Then you need vmware workstation, which isn't free | 13:06 |
| Johnny_Linux | yes, but format it to fat and then use unetbootin to do the rest | 13:06 |

| nxis | i have a question regarding ubuntu privacy. I heard that starting with 12.10 - there is a major privacy issue (amazon search?…). Is there something similar in 12.04? Should some tweaks be made there to enforce privacy? | 13:17 |

| Lope | At the moment I've got sda1 windows 32GB, sda2 linux swap 32GB, sda3 linux 32GB, 654GB remaining. Now I was thinking of just making one final EXT4 partition of 654GB? or should I make some more smaller ones? I've heard of people using a partition JUST for downloads, for example. is any of that necessary if you have loads of free space? | 13:17 |
| Veidit | Pici: I have no option here, I have to go to 10.10 because of specific software requirements and the cpu dosn't support 12.4 | 13:18 |

| nxis | one more old question regarding multiboot | 13:34 |
| nxis | if there are several installations of ubuntu on the same hard drive, how to properly setup /boot directory? | 13:35 |
| gizmo | I am running ubuntu with parallels on a mac is it the same as if I used a PC? | 13:35 |
| ikonia | gizmo: same os - same experience | 13:36 |
| nxis | use shared dedicated /boot partition? | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | the vm should emulate a pc. but the 3d acelleration maynot work corectly gizmo | 13:36 |
| magdur | guys how can i protect my self 0days ? | 13:36 |
| Dr_willis | nxis, you may not even want to bother with a /boot partition | 13:36 |
| zeus | magdur: use NoScript | 13:36 |
| gizmo | ikonia: thanks | 13:36 |
| mhr | How can I add wlan0 to my bond0 which already has eth1 and eth2 as slaves in ubuntu 12.04 server? I tried to search but everywhere i can find only bonding eth0 and eth1 not wlan0. | 13:36 |
| magdur | how will be that ? | 13:36 |
| ikonia | mhr: probably not a good option to do so, but its the same process just with the interface wlan0 included | 13:37 |
| Dr_willis | magdur, totally will depend on what the exploit is exploiting. | 13:37 |
| bananapie | How do I prevent my ubuntu distro to forget memory cards at shutdown? At each boot, my mac address changes so on the third boot, my ethernet card is now called eth2 | 13:37 |
| ikonia | mhr: a lot of wlan cards won't support it though | 13:37 |
| ikonia | bananapie: your mac address doesn't randomly change | 13:37 |
| ikonia | bananapie: you are doing something to change it | 13:37 |
| bananapie | Yes, the ubuntu is installed on a USB key, and I boot on a different computer each time. | 13:38 |
| nxis | Dr_willis: assume: sda1 - ubuntu 12.04, sda2 - ubuntu 13.04. then both updating kernel and updating grub. which /boot will be used for grub? | 13:38 |
| ikonia | bananapie: so what's the issue then ? they are different network cards so will have different macs | 13:38 |
| philinux | azazel91: also sudo lshw -c network | 13:38 |
| ikonia | bananapie: it's behaving as it's designed to do | 13:38 |
| roopak | I have accidently deleted many critical files from my ubuntu 12.04 machine as root user. I have another PC running same version of ubuntu with almost same packages and configuration. I have same hard dis size and same partitioning on both these machines. How can I restore that into my first PC which is not able to boot into the ubuntu OS ? | 13:38 |
| bananapie | I know, but I want to change the behaviour | 13:38 |
| ikonia | roopak: what did you delete and how | 13:38 |
| ikonia | bananapie: well seeing as I suspect your booting from squashfs that's quite tricky | 13:39 |
| Dr_willis | nxis, GRUB installs to the mbr of the hard drive. it stores files in /boot/ each os can have its own boot folder on its /. you dont really need a stand alone /boot/ partition (you could share it i guess) I really dont see much need to dual boot the 2 ubuntuv ersions. | 13:39 |
| Dr_willis | bananapie, is this a full install to the usb ? or a live-cd setup on the usb? | 13:40 |
| wilee-nilee | ffio, I did that about 4 years ago when there was an app that made it easiest, I think it is gone or renamed, not really up on it. | 13:40 |
| mhr | ikonia, i am getting error -- Master 'bond0', Slave 'wlan0': Error: Enslave failed -- when doing as other interfaces. | 13:40 |
| Dr_willis | magdur, dont msg me.. and thers no 'magical' software that will protect you in every case. If there was.. then everyone wouldbe using it. | 13:40 |
| ffio | wilee-nilee: ok :) | 13:40 |
| ikonia | mhr: yor card may not support it, are you trying to do trunking or active/passive | 13:40 |
| bananapie | I used debootstrap to install the usb key. I added a few packages like vim, partimage | 13:40 |
| mhr | ikonia, that was when I restarted networking | 13:40 |
| wilee-nilee | ffio, The web has some info, here is one. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization | 13:41 |
| roopak | ikonia: I wanted to purge LAMP server and as I couldn't purge them, I used the command sudo rm -r `locate apache`. And I think that doesn't matter now because I am not bothered of the original installation. I wnat to clone my second PC into my first. Because I am afraid I deleted many other files too ( I created a shell script to delete akll files related to apache and mysql ) | 13:41 |
| ffio | wilee-nilee: currently i am refering that link, but wanted to knwo that my config files would be preserverd or not. | 13:42 |
| magdur | i send message because i cant say that look like to you with red and i dont feel myself safe | 13:42 |
| ikonia | roopak: that should have only deleted 1 file | 13:42 |
| magdur | for instance when i use windows i install kaspersky and i feel safe | 13:42 |
| ikonia | roopak: actually I guess it depends what else you changed for locate to find | 13:43 |
| wilee-nilee | ffio, Used to be fairly easy, the only problem I had was a good boot, on a usb rather than a cd, but I was experimenting, not really knowing what I was doing, not much has changed for me. ;) | 13:43 |
| ikonia | roopak: simple - just re-install to be safe | 13:43 |
| mhr | ikonia, i dont know much about trunking or active/passive but i am using round robin mode | 13:44 |
| ikonia | mhr: that's not going to work very well, even if your card supported it, which it looks like it doesn't | 13:44 |
| magdur | @dr_willis how can i tag | 13:44 |
| magdur | here irc | 13:44 |
| Dr_willis | magdur, time to read up on security web sites and learn about things i guess. thers no magical bullet. and i dont know what you mean by 'tag' | 13:44 |
| Dr_willis | magdur, just by running linux instead of windows.. you are 1000x safer. :0 | 13:45 |
| mhr | ok thank you ikonia for your help | 13:45 |
| fossterer | Hi! After installing and removing xen, my boot time got increased.. What can I do now? | 13:45 |

| wilee-nilee | ffio, Thats how we learn, the original app I used, had a save for the same machine or any machine, I think it is still supported by someone new but renamed, I just got up so don't remember the original name. | 13:48 |
| magdur | de_willis where is it doc | 13:48 |
| Dr_willis | bananapie, for allthings 'upstart' related - theres the 'upstart cookbook' that has the best docs ive seen on the topic | 13:48 |
| jony_easyrider | philinux, now I can see what's was my issue: for the LBP6000 the common driver version was 2.40, but since then the latest common driver version is 2.60 which contains the LBP6020 model too, TY again :) | 13:49 |

| irssi-mike | i have ssh access to it | 14:16 |
| ikonia | irssi-mike: a modem ? | 14:16 |
| reisio | irssi-mike: it ssh's into a remote host, then runs the command in quotes, then pipes the output to tar | 14:16 |

| ses1984 | either nothing happens, or it says mount failed | 14:17 |
| ikonia | ses1984: why do you no longer have root | 14:18 |
| reisio | irssi-mike: scp -r, that is | 14:18 |

| BluesKaj | reisio, when I try to use ffmpeg , I get the "app is depracated " message | 14:35 |
| reisio | BluesKaj: right, that's because some clown switched Ubuntu from ffmpeg to libav | 14:35 |
| reisio | BluesKaj: libav probably wants you to use 'avconv' or something | 14:35 |
| reisio | still mostly the same command | 14:35 |

| the_cyber_guy | antikythera, i think i need to run dpkg-reconfigure postfix. i have just edited main.cf and restarted postfix. that might be the cause of the problem | 15:33 |
| azazel91 | im a newbie how would i do that | 15:33 |
| mudkip908 | azazel91: sudo su | 15:33 |
| mudkip908 | then your command | 15:33 |
| antikythera | the_cyber_guy: all right. | 15:33 |
| azazel91 | can you just give me the whole thing | 15:34 |
| Ohga | could be wrong, but just sudo -c "<the command>" ? | 15:34 |
| gethenian | is there any way to install on a non-pae cpu? | 15:34 |
| mudkip908 | Ohga: yeah that would work | 15:35 |
| azazel91 | echo ath_pci >> /etc/modules | 15:35 |
| Ohga | simplicity whenever possible.. | 15:35 |
| mudkip908 | su -c not sudo -c | 15:35 |
| Ohga | mudkip908: ah yeah, you're correct | 15:36 |
| reisio | gethenian: cpu? or kernel? | 15:36 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: I followed the instructions and here's where I'm stuck http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5933153/ | 15:37 |
| gethenian | reisio - the kernel on the install iso demands my cpu have "pae", but it doesn't so the install disc doesn't boot | 15:37 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: you don't mount swap | 15:37 |
| reisio | gethenian: really | 15:38 |
| reisio | gethenian: is it a 64-bit image? | 15:38 |
| crankharder | does anyone know if start-stop-daemon(init.d) can monitor multiple processes from one script. I basically want to launch the same daemon multiple times with each instance having different ENV variables sent to it. | 15:38 |
| crankharder | and starting/stopping/restarting them all at once would be nice | 15:38 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: Ok I'm now confused. | 15:38 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: why are you doing a minimal install ? | 15:39 |
| reisio | crankharder: duplicate the scripts, run a for loop | 15:39 |
| gethenian | reisio - I am trying to install 32 bit to a "pentium m" which lacks "pae extensions" but only has 2gb ram | 15:39 |
| crankharder | reisio: yea, specifically trying to avoid maintaining multiple scripts | 15:39 |
| reisio | gethenian: yeah doesn't really make sense :p | 15:39 |
| reisio | gethenian: you might try the minimal install image | 15:39 |
| gethenian | that was the minimal install image | 15:40 |
| reisio | oh really :p | 15:40 |
| reisio | you might try some other image :p | 15:40 |
| reisio | gethenian: mmm | 15:40 |
| Mandalord | robertzaccour: well that's just a simple guide. In your circumstance, I suggest sudo mount -t ext3 /dev/sda1 /home/ubuntu/temp | 15:41 |
| reisio | gethenian: are you on an OS on the box right now? | 15:41 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: Because I want to install Mate desktop without having to remove a bunch of other stuff. Does this info help with my issue? | 15:41 |
| keithb1 | gethenian: use an older version of ubuntu or use the non-pae mini-iso net install | 15:41 |
| Ohga | are runscripts always run on stoping the system, or does any of the commands (halt, shutdown..) bypass them? | 15:41 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: I'll leave your smart mouth to resolve the problem on your own, I was only trying to understand the problem to better advise you as it's clea ryou have no clue what you are doing | 15:41 |
| gethenian | reisio - no right now I'm using a desktop machine, because the laptop with the pentium m has no OS installed | 15:41 |
| reisio | gethenian: do you have the laptop model? | 15:42 |
| gethenian | thinkpad t42 | 15:42 |
| robertzaccour | Mandalord: ikonia http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5933165/ | 15:43 |
| robertzaccour | I dunno if this can be any help. | 15:43 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: I wish you good luck in resolving your problem, I'd also suggest looking at "mint" as a distribution if mate is important to you | 15:44 |
| reisio | gethenian: dunno why they'd require PAE, but I guess you just need an image without it | 15:44 |
| Mandalord | robertzaccour: it tells smthing about ethernet but not about grub or boot | 15:44 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: I prefer the default Mate from thee PPA, and I don't wanna hassle with removing a bunch of stuff. | 15:45 |
| keithb1 | gethenian: read this - http://www.webupd8.org/2012/05/how-to-install-ubuntu-1204-on-non-pae.html | 15:45 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: mint's mate is default | 15:45 |
| robertzaccour | Mandalord: Well network setup was fine, it didn't error until installing grub | 15:45 |
| ikonia | Mandalord: it actualyl does reference sda1 not being able to mount | 15:45 |
| Mandalord | ikonia: ah yes, misread it | 15:46 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: no, its got a lot of junk added I don't care for, and Mint is kinda buggy anyway | 15:46 |
| alparada | Hi everyone, Im a new Ubuntu user | 15:47 |

| holstein | ian_: its pretty much OT here.. https://developers.google.com/open-source/soc/ | 17:37 |
| reisio | it's a way for google to spend a fraction of their profits on finding new talent/technology | 17:37 |
| wilee-nilee | fribcell, You may have to look on the web for that it is possible. | 17:37 |

| vishnu_ | connecting internet through dongle is quite quirky in linux | 17:42 |
| reisio | vishnu_: nah | 17:42 |
| holstein | vishnu_: depends on the specific device | 17:42 |
| vishnu_ | any simple application! | 17:42 |
| vishnu_ | heuwaii too! | 17:42 |
| holstein | vishnu_: doesnt matter.. the chipset matters | 17:43 |
| wilee-nilee | kostkon, That is fud, can you not read, "Ubuntu applied as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2013. Unfortunately, our application was not accepted, but we hope to participate again if the program continues for another year." | 17:43 |
| kostkon | wilee-nilee, that wasn't my intention | 17:43 |
| vishnu_ | thanks holstein,,, what u use to connect internet | 17:43 |
| holstein | vishnu_: many devices | 17:43 |
| vishnu_ | now | 17:44 |
| holstein | vishnu_: typically, the operating systems are not responsible for driver support.. in linux, the linux kernel can do that, and usually does support what it can | 17:44 |
| wilee-nilee | I don't care what ubuntu does but misinformation helps no one. | 17:44 |
| holstein | vishnu_: you can always ask the vendor for support | 17:44 |
| vishnu_ | ohhh | 17:44 |
| Shadowandlight | semi off topic.... what should the privileges look like for a mysql user who only needs to read/write access to there specific database? | 17:46 |

| Shadowandlight | http://i.imgur.com/CBLdvMA.png | 17:47 |
| holstein | Shadowandlight: try the server channel... or a mysql or security specific channel | 17:47 |
| Shadowandlight | ok | 17:47 |
| vishnu_ | does recent kernel suites dongle | 17:49 |
| reisio | vishnu_: yes | 17:49 |
| holstein | vishnu_: depends on the chipset.. try them from live CD's | 17:49 |
| vishnu_ | thanx | 17:49 |
| holstein | vishnu_: or, again, ask the creator of the dongle for linux support | 17:50 |
| vishnu_ | thanx | 17:51 |
| deroot | As you know, Unity (Ubuntu Desktop) has a special feature that is called "HUD". This feature enables you to access menu options of current software by pressing Alt key and typing a key word. Very useful. Is there a similar case in Gnome3? | 17:54 |
| bazhang | deroot, check the gnome-shell extensions site | 17:55 |
| runsoniarun | i just upgraded from Ubuntu Desktop 12 to 13, and tried to update the Flash plugin. But Adobe no longer providing updates? Anyone know if this is a security concern or can point me to an article around it? | 17:56 |
| reisio | runsoniarun: if and when it's a real security concern, Ubuntu will stop making it "easy" to install | 17:56 |
| wilee-nilee | runsoniarun, The ubuntu repo has a adobe-plugin | 17:56 |
| deroot | bazhang: ... search for "hud" on the site? let me check | 17:57 |
| reisio | and IIRC it's not getting _developed_ but it is being patched for security | 17:57 |
| bazhang | deroot, not hud, but something that has similar properties | 17:57 |
| reisio | for nsplugin, anyways | 17:57 |
| === Sk1Special is now known as Sk1 | ||
| runsoniarun | thanks reisio, just needed assurance, it's all good. | 17:58 |

| wilee-nilee | deroot, couple of ap[ searchers I use synapse myself | 18:00 |
| wilee-nilee | app* | 18:00 |
| deroot | bazhang: checked; nothing for Gnome 3.8! | 18:00 |
| wilee-nilee | 3.8 is a PPA and not supported | 18:01 |
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| deroot | wilee-nilee: I've never use Synapse. r u sure it can search a software menu? | 18:01 |
| bazhang | deroot, well thats a PPA, and seriously inadvisable to use in any case | 18:01 |
| wilee-nilee | deroot, what is you definition of software menu, I ave not used hud. | 18:02 |
| wilee-nilee | have* | 18:02 |
| deroot | bazhang: but it's working well for me! | 18:02 |
| wilee-nilee | synapse works like the dash if it is installed you can find it with it, if not just a dependency | 18:04 |
| deroot | wilee-nilee: HUD: for example, your typing in libreoffice and you need to change format. 1st way: click on Format menu > click on Page option | 18:06 |
| deroot | 2nd way: press Alt > type "page" | 18:06 |
| crankharder | anyone know how to stop all running instances of an upstart-enabled process? | 18:07 |
| wilee-nilee | deroot, Ah, thats what I suspected, synapse is just a app finder so not applicable. | 18:09 |
| robertzaccour | Ok I now have pure mate installed on top of Ubuntu minimal | 18:10 |

| mudkip908 | robertzaccour, sudo apt-get install gdebi? | 18:10 |
| robertzaccour | I mean, what command do I input to install gdebi package installer? | 18:10 |
| daftykins | robertzaccour: sudo apt-get install gdebi | 18:11 |
| robertzaccour | mudkip908: Thanks. What's with the ? | 18:11 |
| mudkip908 | accidentally pressed it | 18:11 |
| daftykins | he's a tad surprised as it was an easy question | 18:11 |
| vedic | I have installed pgbouncer using dpkg. When I try to start it (/etc/init.d/pgbouncer start) there is no output. Even I don't see the log file created into /var/log/postgres/pgbouncer.log . How to know what is the problem? | 18:11 |
| biohazard88 | :2 | 18:11 |
| robertzaccour | daftykins: I got it thanks. This pure Mate on top of minimal install leaves some things out haha :P but at least I get to choose pretty much anything software wise instead of having it chosen for me :) | 18:12 |
| daftykins | robertzaccour: was that to save disk space or to run faster on old hardware? | 18:12 |
| deroot | vedic: first, you should explain (shortly) what is pgbouncer:P | 18:12 |
| vedic | deroot: postgres connection pooling tool. Google it the best. But consider it as any other way which when started as service, not doing anything | 18:13 |
| joshu | how do you remove hibernate and suspend from the top menu bar in unity-greeter? | 18:13 |
| reisio | joshu: probably an option in the config | 18:14 |
| reisio | joshu: dpkg -L packageName | grep etc | 18:14 |
| robertzaccour | Uh..Gdebi isn't recognizint my password... | 18:14 |
| robertzaccour | this is so weird | 18:14 |
| robertzaccour | daftykins: I just wanted pure Mate install withouth removing another DE and stuff that comes with it. | 18:14 |
| reisio | robertzaccour: might need gksudo or something | 18:15 |
| deroot | vedic: sudo service pgbouncer status | 18:15 |
| deroot | sudo service pgbouncer start | 18:15 |
| joshu | reisio I tried but get not results | 18:15 |
| reisio | joshu: what'd you try? | 18:16 |
| joshu | reisio what you sent me, dpkg -L unity-greeter | grep shutdown | 18:16 |
| joshu | reisio what you sent me, dpkg -L unity-greeter | grep suspend | 18:16 |
| joshu | reisio what you sent me, dpkg -L unity-greeter | grep hibernate | 18:16 |
| joshu | nothing | 18:16 |
| vedic | deroot: I think you have not read the issue I mentioned. I know its not running. "status" and ps -aux doesn't show it. "start" doesn't give any output. No creation of log file | 18:16 |
| nantou | I have edited my /etc/environment file so it proxifies all traffic. If I write a # at the beginning of each line, will it be commented and thus, inoperative? | 18:16 |

| robertzaccour | reisio: I'm confused :-/ | 18:17 |

| Sk1Special | because I only heard of those after i installed ubuntu and went looking for help. | 18:19 |
| tubbo | well it doesn't work for me | 18:20 |
| daftykins | n-iCe: they have this crazy thing called... choice | 18:20 |
| mumpitzel | !doesn't work | tubbo | 18:20 |
| ubottu | tubbo: Doesn't work is a strong statement. Does it sit on the couch all day? Does it want more money? Is it on IRC all the time? Please be specific! Examples of what doesn't work tend to help too. | 18:20 |
| robertzaccour | Anyone know why gdebi wouldn't be accepting the correct password? | 18:20 |
| n-iCe | daftykins: is not supposed to work better than ubuntu? I mean lubuntu at least? faster? | 18:20 |
| tubbo | i get "The program 'ethtool' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:" | 18:20 |
| goddard | how can i print all the UUIDs? | 18:20 |
| tubbo | yeah i would've said that faster if my stupid shell would copy shit properly | 18:20 |
| daftykins | n-iCe: well it depends what you want doesn't it | 18:20 |
| mudkip908 | goddard: Of your disks? ls /dev/disk/by-uuid | 18:20 |
| daftykins | tubbo: language please | 18:20 |
| bazhang | !blkid | goddard | 18:21 |
| ubottu | goddard: To see a list of your devices/partitions and their corresponding UUID's, run this command in a !shell: « sudo blkid » (see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LibAtaForAtaDisks for the rationale behind the transition to UUID) | 18:21 |

| mumpitzel | tubbo: dpkg -l ethtool | tail -1 what is the output? | 18:22 |
| mumpitzel | tubbo: most likely you don't cause you haven't installed it | 18:22 |

| wilee-nilee | sahil__, The grub-update fixed it? | 18:37 |
| rollinbay | guest18172: haha, setup.sh scripts are basically our system restore. back that data up to the cloud! | 18:37 |
| sahil__ | yes :) | 18:37 |
| guest18172 | I want a gui interface based system restore :) | 18:37 |

| wilee-nilee | sahil__, Cool, enjoy. ;) | 18:37 |
| frewsxcv | Anyone have personal websites to show off? | 18:37 |
| X-Sleepy-X | sahil__: if you run uname -r then you'll see which kernel you're on right now | 18:37 |
| jakesahir | but how can i find address and port???kumarnew | 18:38 |
| Quest | I am using 64 bit ubuntu with 4 gb ram, but "free g" says 3 gb is there. why is that? | 18:38 |
| wilee-nilee | !ot | frewsxcv | 18:38 |
| ubottu | frewsxcv: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 18:38 |
| marianne | ugh... running 12.04 64 bit just installed 4gb of RAM and it's only seeing 2GBs. Is there anything I can do so all the installed ram is used? | 18:38 |
| X-Sleepy-X | sahil__: then you would need to uninstall previous versions of the linux-header-... and linux-image-... | 18:38 |
| sahil__ | <wilee-nilee> thnx :), well i have multiple entries like "previous linux versions" i want to remove those... | 18:38 |
| wilee-nilee | guest18172, You are welcome to write one and submit it, you would have many thanks. ;) | 18:39 |
| jakesahir | can anyone know which port ubuntu uses for downloading software that may be blocked by our admin?? wilee-nilee | 18:39 |
| tozen | sahil__: ubuntu-tweak can help you ;) | 18:39 |
| * Quest waits | 18:39 | |
| sahil__ | <wilee-nilee>3.2.0-38 pae... | 18:39 |
| sahil__ | i gota few x.x.32 | 18:39 |
| wilee-nilee | sahil__, I use a number of ways to remove kernels the easiest is an app called ubuntu-tweak, a 3rd party, it has a janotor that does great claning including configs. | 18:40 |
| netlar | I just installed Blueman, and I still cannot pair up my bluetooth speakers | 18:40 |
| jose | hey guys! let's say I set up an ad-hoc network and want a windows client to connect. When the windows person connects, it does not get the network info (such as ip address, default subnet/gateway) automatically, I need to set it up manually. Any ideas on how to get that done? | 18:40 |
| guest18172 | I could draw the graphics for it in ms paint | 18:40 |
| guest18172 | :) | 18:40 |
| netlar | Is there something that I need to set to get this to work? | 18:40 |
| wilee-nilee | *janitor | 18:40 |
| kumarnew | jakesahir, apt-get uses http or ftp as given in sources.list file, i think | 18:40 |
| jose | netlar: have you tried pairing them? | 18:40 |
| X-Sleepy-X | sahil__: I usually just look at which version i'm running and then use the TAB key to find which old versions to remove in this command: sudo apt-get autoremove --purge linux-image-(TAB KEY HERE) linux-headers-(TAB KEY HERE) | 18:40 |
| netlar | jose: yes | 18:41 |
| sahil__ | <wilee-nilee>last time ubuntu tweaked messed my sysytem..well i was on Natty that time | 18:41 |
| jose | netlar: does it give any error or something? | 18:41 |
| kumarnew | jakesahir, so if you are able to connect to internet using your browser, then there is no problem, you can download from repositories | 18:41 |
| netlar | jose: They just do not show up | 18:41 |
| jakesahir | ok than how our admin blocked this because my net is working smoothly??kumarnew | 18:41 |
| marianne | Quest: looks like we have similar problems | 18:41 |
| jose | netlar: don't know what may be happening, sorry | 18:41 |
| wilee-nilee | sahil__, Never had that problem myself, I suppose it depends on how and what you use it for, you can do a kernel search and purge the ones you want to. | 18:42 |
| netlar | jose: It is ok, no one else does ;) | 18:42 |
| sahil__ | <X-Sleepy-X> so other then 3.3.38,watever comes will be removed right/ | 18:42 |
| sahil__ | ? | 18:42 |
| Quest | marianne, i found a solution | 18:42 |
| kumarnew | jakesahir, you need to know your campus proxy server name/address and port number and if applicable proxy username/password | 18:42 |
| marianne | Quest: share please! | 18:42 |
| Quest | marianne, what command do you give to check ram, and how muchram do you have? | 18:42 |
| netlar | I thought installing blueman might help | 18:42 |
| hhhh | Hi all | 18:42 |
| kumarnew | jakesahir, you must have configured it in your browser check your browser preferences or options something... | 18:43 |
| marianne | Quest: to check - 'free -m' just installed 4GBs | 18:43 |
| Quest | marianne, 1. make sure you have 64 bith 2. do a free -m instead of free -g . free -g rounds up the ram. | 18:43 |
| wilee-nilee | sahil__, might try this. http://askubuntu.com/questions/2793/how-do-i-to-remove-or-hide-old-kernel-versions-to-clean-up-the-boot-menu | 18:43 |
| sahil__ | <wilee-nilee> is it possible to change the reso of plymouth? | 18:43 |
| marianne | Quest: yeah I'm 64 bit | 18:43 |

| marianne | Quest: showing 1938 under total | 18:44 |
| Quest | marianne, hm then I wont be able to help further. | 18:44 |
| wilee-nilee | jakesahir, For the record beyond figuring out you are proxied I'm lost. ;) | 18:44 |
| Quest | marianne, make sure its shown 4 g in bios before asking anyone else | 18:44 |
| tozen | marianne: how do u know u got 4Gigs? | 18:45 |
| * wilee-nilee only knows what I have broken | 18:45 | |
| X-Sleepy-X | sahil__: this is how i would do it: 1. run: "uname -r" it gives me "3.8.0-27-generic". 2. run: "sudo apt-get autoremove --purge linux-headers-3.8.0-26 linux-image-3.8.0-26-generic" as i would see the 3.8.0-26 version if i autocompleted the command with the TAB-key. | 18:45 |
| marianne | tozen: just bought it and installed it about 2 hours ago | 18:45 |
| sahil__ | <X-Sleepy-X>ok thnx :) | 18:46 |

| wilee-nilee | sahil__, You can tab complete nicks it might be easier | 18:46 |
| X-Sleepy-X | sahil__: but you might want to keep the one of the old kernels | 18:46 |
| tozen | marianne: i would redoot with choosing memtest option, them u can see what's wrong | 18:46 |

| jose | hey guys! let's say I set up an ad-hoc network and want a windows client to connect. When the windows person connects, it does not get the network info (such as ip address, default subnet/gateway) automatically, I need to set it up manually. Any ideas on how to get that automatically done? | 19:07 |
| usr13 | ariel`: Are you sure it is running? | 19:07 |
| varlogtim | ariel: pkill -9 nm-applet && nm-applet & | 19:07 |
| X-Sleepy-X | !chown | Shadowandlight | 19:07 |
| ubottu | Shadowandlight: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions | 19:07 |
| varlogtim | Shadowandlight: chown user /var/www/smf | 19:07 |
| Shadowandlight | sudo chmod 777 -R /var/www worked | 19:08 |
| ariel` | it aint running i cant connect my laptop to the internet | 19:08 |
| Shadowandlight | is that ok to use? sudo chmod 777 -R /var/www | 19:08 |
| usr13 | jose: Ad-hoc connections are done manually, but, if it is always going to connect the same way, you can set it up to do so. | 19:08 |
| Pici | Shadowandlight: I wouldn't. | 19:08 |
| jose | usr13: have a clue on how to? | 19:08 |
| varlogtim | Shadowandlight: that grants read/write/execute permissions to everyone on that folder. | 19:08 |
| usr13 | jose: By manually, I mean that you dont have a dhcp server involved in ad-hoc connections. | 19:08 |
| huckleberry | Shadowandlight: you shouldn't do that | 19:08 |
| Shadowandlight | i want to limit it to "me" | 19:09 |
| Shadowandlight | so use chown "user" /var/www ? | 19:09 |
| jose | usr13: oh, didn't know about the DHCP part. will check and see what I can do. Thanks a bunch! | 19:09 |
| usr13 | jose: I suppose the easiest way is to set up a script. You caould just do it in /etc/rc.local | 19:09 |
| huckleberry | Shadowandlight: usually, you make an own user for the webserver - that's what i heard to be best practice | 19:09 |
| huckleberry | Shadowandlight: will the server be accessbile from internet? | 19:10 |
| varlogtim | Shadowandlight: Ideally you should make an FTP user and run "chown -R ftpuser /var/www/sfw | 19:10 |
| usr13 | jose: What ever commands you use to set it up just place in the /etc/rc.local file. | 19:10 |
| Shadowandlight | ok.. yes it will be internet accessible eventually varlogtim & huckleberry | 19:10 |
| _kaizda | Ubuntu Sucks! | 19:10 |
| jose | usr13: so, if I set up a DHCP server on my machine will people be able to connect and automatically get an IP address and the other configs? | 19:10 |
| Shadowandlight | so i used sudo chown eveserver -R /var/www | 19:10 |
| Shadowandlight | "eveserver" is the user | 19:10 |
| hal14450 | Shadowandlight, is there any particular reason you want to use FTP? | 19:11 |
| usr13 | Shadowandlight: A normal user is ok. (That's the way I do it, and I have the files served from the users /home/) | 19:11 |
| Shadowandlight | for SMF to change permissions on the file | 19:11 |
| X-Sleepy-X | _kaizda: Would you care to elaborate? | 19:11 |
| aaron_ | i messed up removing Desktop Environents how can i remove them all and install only the default ones that came with ubuntu 12.04 | 19:11 |
| usr13 | Shadowandlight: To me, it is simplier and easier that way. | 19:11 |
| Shadowandlight | after SMF installs i think i can turn FTP off | 19:11 |
| varlogtim | Shadowandlight: This site has pretty decent tutorials: http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/ftp | 19:12 |
| _kaizda | X-Sleepe-X: <checking dict> | 19:12 |
| usr13 | jose: I don't think you can do that with ad-hoc connections, (because ad-hoc connections are normally just one-to-one). | 19:13 |
| aaron_ | window managers are *** and the system is lagging as hell | 19:13 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: aaron_ http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntuprecise | 19:13 |
| _kaizda | X_Sleepe_X: it is nice though | 19:13 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, yeah the thing is i see the DE ubuntu and gnome | 19:13 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: so? | 19:14 |
| usr13 | jose: But to answer your question, yes, if you set up a DHCP server on your machine, yes, others will be able to connect and automatically receilve IP addresses and all necessary configurations for network connections. | 19:14 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, and i had different shells and windows managers | 19:14 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, but its lagging | 19:14 |
| jose | usr13: that's basically it, thank you! :) | 19:14 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, and the windows are blinking sometimes | 19:14 |
| usr13 | Ok | 19:14 |
| wilee-nilee | aaron_, What have you done in detail please, and what is the end goal? | 19:14 |
| vidarne | if you have 2 network cards how can you set what card shal be defult card ? | 19:15 |
| usr13 | jose: But beware, you should only have one DHCP server per network, (or subnet). | 19:15 |
| huckleberry | vidarne: there is no default card | 19:15 |
| aaron_ | wilee-nilee, i removed some desktop environments xubuntu,xfce,openbox etc and now i want to use the default DE that came with 12.04 | 19:15 |
| jose | usr13: how is so? | 19:15 |
| hal14450 | vidarne, yes | 19:15 |
| usr13 | jose: You mean why only one DHPC server? | 19:16 |
| gordonjcp | jose: what might happen if you had two DHCP servers responding to requests? | 19:16 |
| huckleberry | vidarne: you connect a network cable and that's it :) do you have a specific problem? | 19:16 |
| jose | oh, I got you now | 19:16 |
| hal14450 | vidarne, my bad you're asking how | 19:16 |
| usr13 | jose: Why don't you tell us exactly what it is you want to do, and maybe we can give you more specific advise. | 19:16 |
| vidarne | i got a problem bow as i have not been using my other lan cards and temspeak server works fine, but now when i activated the other one it uses lan ip from econd card so the nat from firewall is not right | 19:16 |
| hal14450 | it depends on the setup really there a re a few ways to do it | 19:17 |
| daftykins | vidarne: teamspeak's config will likely have a way to choose which IP it listens on | 19:17 |
| wilee-nilee | aaron_, Desktops have to be removed in meta lists go to the psycho cats website and find the correct list, put it on a gedit, then run it. Since you have partially removed stuff it will error, you then remove the listed errors from the gedit and rinse and repeat till it removes all | 19:17 |
| jose | usr13: so I'll be at home with 15 people, and I want them to connect to my ad-hoc network (my laptop) and get files from a webserver that is already set up. I don't want to do it via my LAN because I don't want to give them my password. But, the problem arises when they try to connect and have to manually set up the IP config to be able to successfully connect | 19:18 |
| aaron_ | wilee-nilee, also i installed the gnome DE with sudo apt-get install gnome | 19:18 |
| usr13 | vidarne: Change your network configuration so that your network interfaces use proper IP addresses. | 19:18 |
| aaron_ | wilee-nilee, the things are *** | 19:18 |
| usr13 | jose: You have a wireless router. Right? | 19:18 |
| jose | usr13: I do | 19:18 |
| aaron_ | wilee-nilee, also the thing is that i don't get you | 19:18 |

| vidarne | i need to have 2 network card now on same subnet 192.168.1.0 lancard 1 192.168.1.105 and lan card2 192.168.1.106 as i need to route trafick from ip 192.168.1.106 to a vpn tun | 19:19 |
| aaron_ | the stars | 19:19 |
| jose | usr13: it's a TP-Link router, don't know the model. The point is I don't want to give them access to the router, that's why I'm making the ad-hoc | 19:19 |

| wilee-nilee | aaron_, drama for me gets a free ignore. | 19:19 |
| usr13 | jose: What I'm getting at is that what you are wanting to do can be done though the Wireless Router, (especially with dd-wrt). | 19:19 |
| aaron_ | wilee-nilee, this is for sure not a drama i will definitely fix it | 19:20 |
| aaron_ | wilee-nilee, i just like joking around sometimes | 19:20 |
| jose | usr13: but when I move I won't have the same files | 19:20 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: ok :) - because sometimes when you start to remove all kind of stuff you suddenly may remove the wifi stuff - and that's bad. but if ouy have cable - no problem | 19:20 |
| usr13 | jose: Find out if your router is dd-wrt compatable, if it is, install it and you will have the capabilities you want. | 19:20 |
| jose | ok, thanks! | 19:21 |
| usr13 | jose: Files? What files? | 19:21 |
| jose | usr13: the ones I'll be sharing on my webserver :) | 19:21 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: aaron_ what you can do is to remove gnome | 19:21 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: and the do "apt-get autoremove" | 19:21 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, but i need 1 DE right? | 19:22 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: autoremove will remove packeages that were installed because they were needed for an other package | 19:22 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: no | 19:22 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, i don't get it | 19:22 |
| usr13 | jose: That's ok.. What you need is a wifi router that has the capabilites for segregating network connections. | 19:22 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: if you remove all the X stuff (X = grphic server) you will have command line only - that is the very minimal you can get. the you install the DE you like again, and you're good | 19:23 |
| jose | usr13: got it. Thanks! | 19:23 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, i am confused i also install the gnome shell | 19:23 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: ok, let us clarify things: you want to go back to normal, right? | 19:23 |
| usr13 | jose: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorials | 19:23 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, yes | 19:24 |
| vidarne | if you ahve 2 lan cards is it only one of them so shall have gatway in /etc/network/interface file ? | 19:25 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: ok, there are tree ways you can do that. 1) reinstall - the easy way, but you won't learn anything and there is no pain in it, so it is not fun either :P 2) start to remove package by package until you have what you want - this might take some time 3) throw away all DEs - everthing. you will end up with command line. then you type "sudo apt-get install the-desktop-you-want" and you're set | 19:26 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, i will go with number 1 | 19:27 |
| aaron_ | :D | 19:27 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: ok :) | 19:27 |
| aaron_ | huckleberry, i've experienced pain | 19:27 |
| mudkip908 | pain is fun | 19:27 |
| tmmunq | yeah, you can do a minimal install. best way to go | 19:27 |
| usr13 | vidarne: Please restate your question. | 19:27 |
| aaron_ | i laugh when i pain | 19:27 |
| aaron_ | pain is funny | 19:27 |
| aaron_ | i want to reinstall the gnome DE | 19:28 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: to be honest | 19:28 |
| aaron_ | how can i do that | 19:28 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: since you choose to reinstall you have nothing to lose | 19:28 |
| tmmunq | gnome-shell? good question, whats the meta-package for that? | 19:29 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: take 30 minutes and reomve all kind of packeges, maybe you are lucky :P | 19:29 |
| vidarne | when you ahve 2 network card on same subnet 192.168.1.0 is it only one of the cards so shall have set gatways in /etc/networking/interface or both of them ? | 19:29 |
| huckleberry | aaron_: so there is at least some fun it ;) | 19:29 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel".

| ikonia | motaka2: where did you get it from ? what's wrong with the version in the ubuntu repo ? | 20:00 |
| motaka2 | ikonia: I got the jar file from jedit website | 20:00 |
| jjavaholic | it doesn't show up in fdisk -l | 20:00 |
| ikonia | MonkeyDust: just appending something like size=128M or size=1G to limit it so it can't eat your ram can be more useful to keep some limits in place, | 20:00 |
| X-Sleepy-X | motaka2: try finding it in the repo first by running: apt-cache search jedit | 20:00 |
| ikonia | motaka2: ok, so it's a jar file, you can put it anywhere you want as it just matters where your CLASSPATH is setup | 20:01 |

| tjbiddle | Hey guys - Not ubuntu specific - But should my program write verbose output to STDERR or STDOUT? | 20:25 |
| varlogtim | My vote is STDERR | 20:25 |
| tjbiddle | varlogtim: May I ask why? (I'm fine with either - just want to know for future ref. on the convention) | 20:26 |
| === tikibortxu is now known as triii | ||
| varlogtim | STDOUT should be for the output of the applications purpose. Verbose logging is additional data that doesn't have anything to do with the purpose of the application. | 20:26 |
| tjbiddle | varlogtim: Makes perfect sense, thanks :-) | 20:26 |
| varlogtim | Imagine this... for a real world example... | 20:27 |
| motaka2 | X-Sleepy-X: yes I think it has something to do with graphics, my graphic card is xfx 9 series | 20:27 |
| hodapp | stderr is for errors. | 20:27 |
| hodapp | verbose should be to stdout, and optional. | 20:27 |
| peterrooney | Logging should be to a file, progress and verbosity should be to stderr. varlogtim hit the nail on the head. | 20:28 |
| hodapp | The convention with nearly every program is that stderr is for errors, not for verbose output, and that it's the user's choice, not yours, whether logging is to a file or to stdout. | 20:29 |
| varlogtim | It is nice to be able to do this: ./script > output_file 2>verbose_data.log | 20:29 |
| peterrooney | adding a verbosity option should not, for example, change pipeline behaviour. | 20:29 |
| pbuckley | Anyone running ubuntu 13.10 have an issue with no bass in their audio? | 20:29 |
| varlogtim | Say you have an application that updates a status file that something else reads from. Say it is in production and you need verbose output but without affecting the output of the script (which will break the status file) --- printing to stderr will give you the option to redirect the output... | 20:30 |
| X-Sleepy-X | motaka2: if you run: software-properties-gtk the go to "Additional Drivers". Do you see a list of drivers to choose from? | 20:31 |
| varlogtim | Also, lots of apps print to stderr --- ssh for example, (I beleive) prints the password: prompt to stderr | 20:31 |
| pbuckley | varlogtim: if you are using passwords with ssh, it is an err ;) | 20:31 |
| motaka2 | X-Sleepy-X: Should I run that in terminal | 20:31 |
| motaka2 | ? | 20:31 |
| X-Sleepy-X | !13.10 | pbuckley | 20:31 |
| mudkip908 | motaka2: terminal or alt-f2 | 20:31 |

| tjbiddle | Thanks varlogtim, peterrooney, & hodapp :-) I think I'll lean towards stderr - I had heard verbose out put should go to that in the past, but didn't understand why. Much appreciated! | 20:32 |
| motaka2 | X-Sleepy-X: I got some output in terminal and a window poped up | 20:32 |

| bekks | Then the answer is "no". | 20:43 |
| ikonia | you don't change symlinks | 20:43 |
| ikonia | you change the target | 20:43 |
| bekks | Changing the owner of a symlink is pointless, since the permissions are 0777 - always. | 20:44 |
| syn-ack | yep, the permission of the symlink is meaningless, its the target that matters. | 20:44 |
| zeest | I opened an application, it didn't show up in the bar in the right(dock? sidebar?) and I minimized the app. Since I can't see it on the sidebar, how do I restore it? | 20:45 |
| motaka2 | X-Sleepy-X: yes thats it so I have a driver installed and yet it runs slow? | 20:45 |
| X-Sleepy-X | zeest: Alt+Tab ? | 20:45 |
| auronandace | zeest: you mean left | 20:45 |
| zeest | auronandace: Yes, sorry | 20:45 |
| X-Sleepy-X | that's right... | 20:45 |
| zeest | X-Sleepy-X: No showing up there either :/ | 20:46 |
| X-Sleepy-X | motaka2: you probably need to reboot or log out and back in again | 20:46 |

| robertzaccour | What's a good network manager for Ubuntu? | 20:50 |
| bertogatti | hi all, my startup applications as defined in gnome-session-properties don't seem to work (they work in kde and xfce) | 20:50 |
| bekks | robertzaccour: The already installed Network-Manager. | 20:50 |
| syn-ack | robertzaccour: Network Manager. | 20:50 |
| varlogtim | robertzaccour wicd --- I have been using that and love it. | 20:51 |
| bekks | robertzaccour: Whats wrong with NM for you? :) | 20:51 |

| X-Sleepy-X | bertogatti: can you give an example? | 20:53 |
| bekks | robertzaccour: Just install ubuntu-desktop then. | 20:53 |
| === will_ is now known as Guest19538 | ||
| robertzaccour | bekks: uh no | 20:53 |
| robertzaccour | network-manager not available? | 20:53 |
| robertzaccour | I know its installed | 20:53 |
| bertogatti | ok while running gnome-3, i have the startup applications set to start guake when i log in | 20:53 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: this is because you are doing a minimal install | 20:54 |
| bertogatti | however this doesn't happen in gnome3 but works in other environments | 20:54 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: this is why I suggested doing a standard install and removing what you don't need | 20:54 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: any recommendations for a network manager? | 20:54 |
| ikonia | the mate PPA will not have all the dependencies | 20:54 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: network-manager is the standard one | 20:54 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: I'm learning, I'll feel ahead once I got it all here :) | 20:54 |
| bekks | robertzaccour: You already asked that and you already got your answers :) | 20:54 |
| robertzaccour | bekks: And I already said it says not available | 20:55 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: you're not really learning though, you're making it hard for yourself | 20:55 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: where are all the network dependencies? | 20:55 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: what do you mean "where are they" ? | 20:55 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: Yes, I'm learning. I've learned a lot today. Who are you to assume what I haven't learned? | 20:55 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: you said the dependencies aren't there. Where are they? | 20:56 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: because you're asking the same style questions from earlier and hitting the issues I warned you of | 20:56 |
| X-Sleepy-X | bertogatti: hang on, i got it working but im looking for how i did it | 20:56 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: so I can only assume you've not grasped/learnt what I was trying to explain earlier | 20:56 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: And I'm learning in the process | 20:56 |

| robertzaccour | ikonia: I have wired internet working just fine, I just need to install an app so I can set up my router. | 20:57 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: what has your router got to do with an application ?? it's an external device | 20:57 |
| bekks | robertzaccour: You dont need any app to setup your router besides a browser to access the web interface, | 20:57 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: I just need a network app that will load. recommend any besides network-manager and wicd? | 20:58 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: you don't need a network app to fix your router | 20:58 |
| sideone | im trying to find a string of *cnn.com/????/* can anyone help me correct for the proper regex? | 20:58 |
| bekks | robertzaccour: You nheed a browser. | 20:58 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: My router is fine, I just need to connect to it. | 20:58 |
| ravster | hey all. | 20:58 |
| robertzaccour | bekks: I have a browser | 20:58 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: you said you have, you've got wired networking working | 20:58 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: so you're already connected | 20:58 |
| ravster | I can't find grub.cfg in my boot directory. Any idea where it might be? | 20:58 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: wired yes, but I need to set up wireless | 20:58 |
| ravster | its a UEFI install | 20:59 |
| ikonia | robertzaccour: well, I'd use network-manager, is the standard, | 20:59 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: correction: I need a drop-down list to select my router. | 20:59 |
| ravster | if that changes anything. | 20:59 |
| robertzaccour | ikonia: network-manager network-manager: command not found | 20:59 |

| robertzaccour | thanks ikonia | 21:07 |
| reisio | islon: for what? | 21:07 |
| islon | daftykins: clicked usb-creators -> liveusb install | 21:07 |
| crippledmonk | islon: I've had issues with unetbootin a time or two. I've found "for me" the dd method pretty much always works. All my machines are linux however. | 21:08 |
| joshu | where is the config file that store startup applications set by System > Preference > Startup Applications, | 21:08 |
| robertzaccour | still not coming up :( | 21:08 |
| reisio | yeah, dd ftw, it's just trickier :p | 21:08 |
| daftykins | islon: can you verify your image download by hashing it? could be worth wiping the drive then giving it another try | 21:08 |
| reisio | which is funny, you'd think those creators would just be dd frontends :p | 21:08 |
| ikonia | stree: what repo are you using | 21:08 |
| bertogatti | X-Sleepy-X: all good now, saves me the trouble of manually opening every time | 21:08 |
| X-Sleepy-X | bertogatti: :) | 21:09 |
| islon | daftykins: hmm indeed should have checked the hash, will reboot on windows and do that and maybe download some other pendrive creator | 21:09 |
| crippledmonk | dd if=NAME_OF_YOUR_IMAGE.iso of=/dev/sdX bs=4M where X in the sdX is your drive. it's usually sdc or sdb and you will most likely need to run it in the terminal with sudo preceeding. | 21:10 |

| rodrigo91 | extract* | 21:10 |
| rodrigo91 | how could i extract all my data from one hard drive to put on a live cd | 21:11 |
| daftykins | islon: pendrivelinux.com 's 'universal usb installer' might be ok | 21:11 |

| reisio | rodrigo91: what for | 21:11 |
| rodrigo91 | how can i add more space to the live cd | 21:11 |
| reisio | rodrigo91: is it a USB? | 21:11 |
| bekks | rodrigo91: You cant add more space to a live cd. | 21:12 |
| rodrigo91 | so what do i do | 21:12 |
| SolarisBoy | but you can build your own live cd | 21:12 |
| SolarisBoy | and put the content you want on it | 21:12 |
| rodrigo91 | i aint got a a usb | 21:12 |

| bekks | rodrigo91: Just tell us about your actual problem. | 21:12 |
| SolarisBoy | probably more than you really want to do - | 21:12 |
| X-Sleepy-X | sere: not even if you start it from the terminal? | 21:13 |
| rodrigo91 | its started with network manager but i cant fix that | 21:13 |

| PostfixHelp | it only needs to be local | 21:21 |
| PostfixHelp | I don't need IMAP/POP3 | 21:21 |

| mojtaba | Hi, I am trying to install virtualbox, but It says "No suitable module for running kernel found | 21:38 |
| mojtaba | " after the installation and says fail. I am using ubuntu 13.04 | 21:38 |
| mojtaba | Does anybody know what should I do? | 21:38 |
| k1l | mojtaba: make sure the right kernel headers are installed | 21:38 |
| mojtaba | k1l: How can I check that? | 21:38 |
| HomelessSanta | reisio, When it's on still doesn't change the wallpaper when changing the virtual desktop. :( | 21:39 |
| X-Sleepy-X | !headers | mojtaba | 21:39 |
| ubottu | mojtaba: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 21:39 |
| mojtaba | X-Sleepy-X: how can I find what is my current linux-header and what should I install? (I am newbie) | 21:40 |
| k1l | mojtaba: "uname -a" and then look with "dpkg -l linux-headers* | grep ii | 21:40 |
| k1l | " | 21:40 |
| reisio | HomelessSanta: it's possible nautilus is controlling the desktop, you might have to disable that pref | 21:41 |
| mojtaba | k1l: it's current is: 3.5.0-28-generic #48-Ubuntu | 21:42 |
| HomelessSanta | reisio, Sounds like I'll be getting a headache in a while. lol | 21:43 |
| mojtaba | k1l: The problem is that, I have installed 3.8. ... before and when booting up the OS, the display is not working. (showing dots.) I am using Dell Studio 1555 | 21:43 |
| mojtaba | k1l: Do you which one I should install? | 21:43 |

| ikonia | garage00: it should just update to current | 21:46 |

| mojtaba | k1l: But when I use kernel 3.5, it is working normally. | 21:47 |
| k1l | mojtaba: that are no headers for your kernel. so install "linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic" | 21:48 |
| garage00 | ikonia: looks like I'll have to verify that in another few weeks, the older machine is updating to *.49, but on my workstation *.51 is the latest update | 21:48 |
| mojtaba | k1l: could you please give me the command to install the header? | 21:48 |
| holstein | garage00: the different releases have different currently maintained releases | 21:48 |
| k1l | sudo apt-get install packagename | 21:49 |
| holstein | garage00: 12.04's kernel is not the same version as 13.04 | 21:49 |
| k1l | where packagename is linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic | 21:49 |
| garage00 | holstein, both machines run precise | 21:49 |
| holstein | garage00: when you update them, they will get the current version.. nothing about that should take a few weeks | 21:49 |
| thunder-storm | Hello everybody | 21:51 |
| mojtaba | k1l: it says: "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic | 21:51 |
| mojtaba | E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic'" | 21:51 |
| garage00 | holstein: I'll check again after the update, currently running update to .49 on less updated machine | 21:51 |
| holstein | !headers | 21:51 |
| ubottu | To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 21:51 |
| thunder-storm | How its possible to restore the mouse speed-settings in Ubuntu 12.04 to default? | 21:51 |
| k1l | mojtaba: use tabcompletion | 21:51 |
| Henix879 | Real quick question: does ubuntu have drivers for this netowrk card? http://amzn.to/19y8Vzr | 21:52 |
| holstein | garage00: you run "sudo apt-get update" first, to refresh the cache.. then sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:52 |
| mojtaba | k1l: it just has 3.8 in the list | 21:52 |
| X-Sleepy-X | -lowlatency - Linux kernel headers for version 3.8.0 on x86/x86_64 | 21:52 |
| k1l | mojtaba: so the kernel is from an old release? | 21:52 |
| mojtaba | holstein: could you please give me the complete command? | 21:53 |
| X-Sleepy-X | :S | 21:53 |
| mojtaba | k1l: yes | 21:53 |
| mojtaba | I think | 21:53 |
| holstein | Henix879: ubuntu really doenst have any drivers.. the linux kernel includes drivers, and ubuntu includes installable drivers in the repos.. you can just try the live CD and see how the device works first-hand | 21:53 |
| holstein | mojtaba: thats it, friend | 21:53 |
| holstein | mojtaba: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade | 21:53 |
| Henix879 | I'm asking if drivers are readily available for it | 21:53 |
| garage00 | hostein: thanks, but I have no plans of using non-LTS | 21:53 |
| X-Sleepy-X | k1l: i don't seem to find 3.8.0-28 | 21:53 |
| X-Sleepy-X | k1l: only -27 | 21:54 |
| holstein | garage00: sorry, i dont recall suggesting *any* particular version | 21:54 |
| holstein | Henix879: and im suggesting, a live CD will tell you that | 21:54 |
| Henix879 | Because my current network card requires me to go through hell and back just to get it functional, and I'm considering getting the one I just linked | 21:54 |
| mojtaba | holstein: now I am running ubuntu 13.04 | 21:54 |
| holstein | mojtaba: as i stated, 13.04 will have different kernels than 12.04 | 21:55 |
| garage00 | holstein: sorry, but doesn't dist-upgrade upgrade to ringtail? | 21:55 |
| mojtaba | But the problem is that with new kernel my display is just showing dot dot screen. (Dell Studio 1555) | 21:55 |
| holstein | garage00: no | 21:55 |
| garage00 | ok | 21:55 |
| mojtaba | holstein: But the problem is that with new kernel my display is just showing dot dot screen. (Dell Studio 1555) | 21:55 |
| zykotick9 | !dist-upgrade | garage00 | 21:56 |
| ubottu | garage00: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. | 21:56 |
| holstein | garage00: dist-upgrade, which you *should* and can research before running, upgrades the packages, like you are trying to do | 21:56 |
| garage00 | holstein: thanks, perfect definition | 21:56 |
| mojtaba | holstein: hello | 21:57 |
| brandon_ | hi | 21:57 |
| holstein | mojtaba: if an older kernel is working, i would just use it. and keep checking back after upgrading in the future | 21:57 |
| reisio | hi brandon_ | 21:58 |
| mojtaba | holstein: Will the command you told me to run remove the current kernel? | 21:58 |
| mojtaba | holstein: Because if it removes the current kernel, I can not restart my computer anymore. :( | 21:58 |
| holstein | mojtaba: you should have backups, regardless.. but i have not shared anything that will remove any packages | 21:59 |
| holstein | mojtaba: if you want the headers, i would run "sudo apt-get update" and refer to | 21:59 |
| holstein | !headers | mojtaba | 21:59 |
| ubottu | mojtaba: To install the Linux (kernel) headers, open a terminal and: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) To install headers for libraries, you need the accompanying -dev packages | 21:59 |

| mojtaba | holstein: I guess I must restart the computer | 22:02 |
| X-Sleepy-X | mojtaba: update, upgrade, dist-upgrade and install will _not_ remove the old kernel _unless_ it says so where it promts you for "Y/n" | 22:02 |

| X-Sleepy-X | mojtaba: yes | 22:04 |
| mojtaba | X-Sleepy-X: holstein: Thank you all. I must restart. | 22:04 |
| holstein | mojtaba: after running "sudo apt-get update" | 22:04 |
| mojtaba | holstein: sure. Thanks man | 22:04 |
| garage00 | holstein: solved, my bad, should have ran update manually before installing the updates | 22:05 |
| holstein | garage00: cheers | 22:05 |
| rodrigo91 | so what would happen if i clicked copy would it copy all my files to another partition | 22:06 |
| holstein | rodrigo91: in what context? | 22:06 |
| rodrigo91 | in a save as much as i can context | 22:07 |
| w4pm | ive been increasingly annoyed with apt lately, it has outdated versions of most everything important | 22:07 |
| fbdystang | Hi, I just installed 12.04 LTS server onto a sabertooth with UEFI. I get an error"invalid arch independent ELF magic". Please advise | 22:07 |
| === GeekDude is now known as himmih | ||
| reisio | w4pm: no it hasn't | 22:07 |
| w4pm | you cant install vagrant, node.js, erlang, couchdb, mongodb, etc etc because apt has super outdated versions | 22:07 |
| holstein | rodrigo91: not following.. you are trying to make a backup? | 22:07 |
| reisio | w4pm: pick one and tell me which version you want | 22:08 |
| w4pm | the latest | 22:08 |
| w4pm | vagrant | 22:08 |
| reisio | lateset isn't a version | 22:08 |
| reisio | versions are made up of numbers and sometimes letters | 22:08 |
| w4pm | maybe i'm doing something wrong? | 22:08 |
| rodrigo91 | no i just wanna copy it to another partition | 22:08 |
| holstein | w4pm: "sudo apt-get update" updates the package cache | 22:08 |
| reisio | w4pm: that'd be my guess | 22:08 |
| holstein | w4pm: if you are "annoyed" with pacagke versions, that has nothing to do with apt.. that is the sources | 22:09 |
| rodrigo91 | holstein would that save the hassle | 22:09 |
| w4pm | the fact that no one is updating their sources is a bad sign | 22:09 |
| holstein | rodrigo91: hassle of what, friend? | 22:09 |
| rodrigo91 | from backing up the thing | 22:09 |
| holstein | rodrigo91: i literally dont know what you are referencing or trying to click on, or why.. start at the beginning with all the details | 22:09 |
| reisio | w4pm: Debian has 1.2.2 :) | 22:10 |
| holstein | rodrigo91: what thing? | 22:10 |
| rodrigo91 | partition | 22:10 |
| reisio | but yeah, you can just get it from http://downloads.vagrantup.com/tags/v1.2.7 if you trust them | 22:10 |
| holstein | w4pm: ubuntu doesnt "update the sources" like that.. its not a rolling release | 22:10 |
| X-Sleepy-X | !details | rodrigo91 | 22:10 |
| ubottu | rodrigo91: 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 ..." | 22:10 |
| w4pm | i just want to sudo apt-get install vagrant and for it to get a reaonsable version, not version 1.0.1 which is ancient | 22:10 |
| holstein | w4pm: you get security release "fixes" and updates.. to the current system | 22:10 |
| holstein | w4pm: you can always build your own verions of whatever you like.. or try a PPA | 22:11 |
| w4pm | holstein: thats my point, why have a package manager if i have to manually install all my packages | 22:11 |
| w4pm | thats why im complaining :P | 22:11 |
| holstein | w4pm: the package manager just does that friend.. manages packages.. you are trying to complain about the sources not containing something you want | 22:11 |
| rodrigo91 | im trying to copy a partition to a new partition would that work | 22:12 |
| w4pm | hm well whose responsibility is it to update sources? mine or the software creators or ubuntu.. | 22:12 |
| holstein | w4pm: you can file a backport bug.. or as i said, build your own, or try a PPA.. or run a rolling release | 22:12 |
| holstein | w4pm: the sources *are* updated | 22:12 |
| w4pm | well like in the case of vagrant, who should be updating the vagrant source? | 22:12 |
| w4pm | to be more recent | 22:12 |
| w4pm | instead of 1.0.1 | 22:12 |
| holstein | w4pm: when you install ubuntu, you are installing and not getting a rolling release.. you are agreeing to use the current versions, and accept updates | 22:13 |
| w4pm | i did sudo apt-get install update and its still 1.0.1 | 22:13 |
| badelvis | Hi there. I have encrypted my home. Obviously it is very important to save the mount passphrase, in case I have to access my home directly at some time. How can I retrieve the mount passphrase, when I'm logged in and my home is decrypted and mounted? | 22:13 |
| holstein | w4pm: vagrant, *if* updates are available will be in the next version of ubuntu.. or, on the site from vagrant for you to get your self.. or a PPA | 22:13 |
| w4pm | i see, so i need to look for PPAs | 22:14 |
| w4pm | to supplement the released sources | 22:14 |
| holstein | w4pm: ppa's, or install what you want manually, or try a rolling release distro.. or file a backport bug, and follow up, or offer to package and maintain it | 22:14 |
| w4pm | holstein: what is the role of package manager in setting up a system then? | 22:15 |
| w4pm | to maintain lower-level dependencies with libraries that dont change as often? | 22:15 |
| w4pm | if, at the top level, i'm installing what i want manually | 22:15 |
| holstein | w4pm: to manage packages | 22:15 |
| rodrigo91 | holstein forgot it yeah im trying toback up my drive | 22:15 |
| rodrigo91 | so where do i start | 22:16 |
| holstein | w4pm: when you run "sudo apt-get install vagrant", the package manager deals with dependenies , and allows you to easily remove the package.. etc | 22:16 |
| w4pm | yeah thats what i want to do | 22:16 |
| w4pm | but its outdated :P | 22:16 |
| mojtaba | holstein: Hi again. I run the command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r), but it gives me: "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic | 22:16 |
| mojtaba | E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic'" | 22:16 |
| holstein | w4pm: its up to date, according to the version you have chosen to run | 22:16 |
| holstein | w4pm: you are always welcome to build your own version of whatever | 22:17 |
| w4pm | hmm why lock down software versions to a specific linux distro | 22:17 |
| zykotick9 | !latest | w4pm | 22:17 |
| ubottu | w4pm: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. | 22:17 |
| holstein | w4pm: its not a lock down, friend | 22:17 |
| w4pm | i see | 22:17 |
| holstein | w4pm: its the alternative ro a rolling release.. both have pro's and con's | 22:17 |
| mojtaba | holstein: Hi again. I run the command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r), but it gives me: "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic'" | 22:18 |

| holstein | mojtaba: run "sudo apt-get update" and share errors via pastebin | 22:18 |
| mojtaba | holstein: sorry | 22:18 |
| benkillin | I've gathered this is because of EOL of the release | 22:18 |
| w4pm | my personal psychology would be, the only way i install/remove software is witha package manager, not juggling a multitude of ways (package manager, manual installation, etc) but i understand the need for stability | 22:18 |
| benkillin | is there a way to upgrade my release to a supported version without reinstalling from scratch? | 22:18 |
| wilee-nilee | benkillin, Might you share your release? | 22:19 |

| Loshki | bigawuc: all other things being equal, I think ubuntu has better support for beginners... | 22:39 |
| mojtaba | holstein: I am not sure. but maybe before I have done that | 22:39 |
| caersith | I can't access them during update | 22:39 |
| mojtaba | holstein: How should I check that? | 22:39 |
| holstein | mojtaba: confirm if you are, or not.. that can be breaking it | 22:39 |
| holstein | mojtaba: i would look at my sources | 22:40 |

| wilee-nilee | caersith, Medibuntu is not supported anymore, not really needed as well. | 22:40 |

| caersith | wilee-nilee: So what should I do to uninstall them? | 22:43 |
| wilee-nilee | caersith, I believe you added the repo to sources.list or sources.list.d however you can untick them and remove in software sources. | 22:44 |

| wilee-nilee | caersith, Probably in /etc/apt/sources.list.d | 22:48 |

| Wox | what is the recommended setup for partitions? | 22:51 |
| wilee-nilee | Wox, Not really any recomendation other than big enough for the OS, what is your goal here. | 22:52 |
| wilee-nilee | and ext4 generally | 22:52 |
| f00bar80 | holstein, i found no fstab in /etc | 22:52 |
| f00bar80 | holstein, only mtab | 22:52 |
| Wox | wilee-nilee: mine is to use it for work and such, and have alot of apps i guess.. i really dont know what i want | 22:53 |
| rodrigo91 | wilee nilee pm me i really need your guidance | 22:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Wox, understandable, the partitions are resizeable if needed, some people have a separate home to have saved for upgrades, personally I just use one partition and a swap, install is about 4 gigs or so. | 22:55 |
| Rallias | Is it possible to tell networkmanager to do an "iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M" after connecting to a wireless network? | 22:55 |

| f00bar80 | reisio, hey | 22:56 |
| f00bar80 | reisio, After tried to upgrade to 12.04 i'm getting the following when booting "ALERT! /dev/disk/by-uuid/a8030491-.. does not exist. Dropping to a shell." , when tried to check grub in /boot i got /boot no such file or directory, any idea how to fix this | 22:56 |
| Rallias | I know with /etc/networking/interfaces I can do a "post-up", but I'm using a laptop that I'd rather utilize the network-manager infrastructure. | 22:56 |
| rodrigo91 | so can you tell me step by step how to backup my system | 22:57 |
| f00bar80 | reisio, as well i found no fstab in /etc | 22:57 |
| Wox | wilee-nilee: i have heard that it also good if the system crushed!? | 22:57 |
| reisio | f00bar80: are your partitions mounted? | 22:57 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, You can copy and paste from one partition to another in gparted, or due a clonezilla package save and reload, a number of options | 22:57 |

| Lightingblade | how do i downalod wmere or virual box ? | 22:59 |
| wilee-nilee | Wox, I suppose so best insurance on a crash is an image/clone and backups. | 22:59 |
| daftykins | wilee-nilee: you just want everyone to say "i did it wilee-nilee " | 22:59 |
| thiebaude | Lightingblade, its in the software center | 22:59 |

| rodrigo91 | wilee nilee: i tried that but it cant | 23:00 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, tried what? | 23:00 |
| rodrigo91 | trying to copy the partition it just stays the same | 23:01 |
| f00bar80 | reisio, mount shows udev proc, rootfs tmpfs ,, seems no disk are mounted | 23:01 |

| axelm7 | hi guys I have a box with ubuntu 13.04 x64 minimal server install. I'd like to add gnome or kde so I can run vuze. Can someone help me with the apt-get install package groups I have to add? | 23:01 |
| rodrigo91 | the quanitty its just one wuatity | 23:01 |
| rodrigo91 | quatity | 23:02 |
| Wox | wilee-nilee: someone else told me to use root only and backup | 23:02 |
| spikes | Hey guys, when I update ubuntu I have been using apt-get upgrade, i noticed it does not update 2 files that dist-upgrade and the gui software updater offer to upgrade | 23:02 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, I use clonezilla then you have a backup then reload it to the other partition. THe copy paste in gparted has to be to anequal or larger partition in size. | 23:02 |
| wilee-nilee | same with clonezilla | 23:03 |
| rodrigo91 | is clonezilla available for ubuntu 10.04 | 23:03 |
| spikes | my question is, am i better off skipping those files? for some reason in the past when ive done the dist-upgrade it started messing up my ubuntu install | 23:03 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, It is a 3rd party you download the ISO and make a cd or usb and boot it to use, you need a place to put the packages is all. | 23:04 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, It is not a mirror image other than as data. | 23:04 |
| wilee-nilee | its a clone | 23:04 |
| rodrigo91 | darn im strewed i dont got a ush or cd | 23:05 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, Is it a big hurry, having the correct tools makes things easier and less likely to be a failure. | 23:05 |
| f00bar80 | reisio, also there's nt /mnt directory | 23:06 |
| f00bar80 | reisio, blkid shows the 2 sda1 and sda5 , sda5 is the swap and sda1 is the ext4 | 23:07 |
| wilee-nilee | Wox, Not sure what root only is, I think they meant one partition. | 23:08 |
| rodrigo91 | can i just make a new partition then extract the other partition from that partition | 23:08 |
| Lightingblade | dose anyone know a good site to downlaod oprating systems on ? | 23:08 |
| spikes | Lightingblade, torrents | 23:08 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, gparted will if the second partition is equal or larger in size | 23:08 |
| Wox | wilee-nilee: only root partition.. like / | 23:08 |
| wilee-nilee | Wox, ubuntu does not run in root / only is the mount for a single partition, the word root here is not exactly accurate. | 23:09 |
| rodrigo91 | well the curruped one is 168.24 and the free space is 121.40 | 23:10 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, That is why you can't use gparted. | 23:10 |
| wilee-nilee | or clonezilla | 23:10 |
| rodrigo91 | so it has to be more | 23:10 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, equal or more | 23:10 |
| === kimir is now known as mislav | ||

| Wox | other* | 23:11 |
| Lightingblade | but wont torrent slow down your internet conection if ur going to download a oprating system ? | 23:12 |
| wilee-nilee | rodrigo91, There might be a tar option but I'm not familiar and corrupted partition should just have what you can get out if mountable unless fixable, messing with it may brick it totally if not already. | 23:12 |
| thiebaude | Lightingblade, its better if you have a high speed internet | 23:12 |
| Lightingblade | ah ok im just affried it will wreck my conection for a norma home intenret conection | 23:13 |

| Jordan_U | Lightingblade: If you only allow connections to peers via µTP then it should be more polite to other traffic on the network, and with most Free OSs the torrents have enough peers, and they're savvy enough, that you should be able to get great speeds even from only peers supporting µTP. | 23:17 |
