[00:00] whats the problem? [00:01] x wont start and I cant get to a terminal to troubleshoot it. after installing nvidia binary drivers. [00:02] hello, if I dual boot Linux with my win7, will I have the windows security holes when i boot to linux? [00:03] rusty101: no [00:04] 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] 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] rusty101: not nearly so many holes, though [00:04] rusty101: there are no viruses for Linux [00:04] rusty101: there are some security holes, and it pays to be somewhat careful [00:04] gordonjcp: i dont like the statement there are no viruses for Linux that cant be true [00:05] will big brother still be logging me in Linux? [00:05] rusty0101: Big brother is called Canonical [00:05] rusty101: most likely if you use the interwebs [00:05] mjayk: well, there aren't [00:05] rusty101: They log your internet traffic, so yes [00:05] rusty101 - only mark shutteworth [00:05] gordonjcp: i disagree, its a sweeping statement [00:05] mjayk: there are vastly more Linux computers connected to the Internet than Windows computers [00:06] http://i.imgur.com/CnEeI.jpg?1 [00:06] mjayk: you'd think if it was possible, it would have been done by now [00:06] azaleo: please don't [00:06] 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 [00:07] mjayk: there's nothing, there's *one* proof-of-concept virus that takes a lot of work to get going [00:07] when I boot to linux it certainly will be more secure than Windows, correct? [00:07] mjayk: Linux is a much larger target than Windows [00:07] not really [00:08] mjayk: there are pretty much no Windows computers connected to the Internet [00:08] hello [00:08] gordonjcp: no your wrong - reference [1] http://www.internetnews.com/dev-news/article.php/3601946 [00:08] rusty0101, you are only as safe as you are careful no matter what OS. [00:08] mjayk: lol, Kaspersky [00:08] gordonjcp: reference 2 http://service1.symantec.com/SUPPORT/ent-security.nsf/ppfdocs/2005110716014248 [00:08] srsly jsut use the internet [00:08] lol, Symantec [00:09] mjayk: those are nonsense [00:09] 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] simple as end [00:09] anyone? [00:09] !ask | lurker [00:09] 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] mjayk: because, there are no viruses for Linux [00:09] there are [00:09] mjayk: it's really that simple [00:09] mjayk: show me one [00:09] do you have a web browser? [00:09] mjayk: yup [00:09] do you know what google is ? [00:09] get a room guys [00:10] mjayk: yes, and I know what fairy stories are too [00:10] i suggest you stop wasting my time and use it [00:10] !pm | lurker [00:10] lurker: Please ask your questions in the channel so that other people can help you, benefit from your questions and answers, and ensure that you're not getting bad advice. Please note that some people find it rude to be sent a PM without being asked for permission to do so first. [00:10] gordonjcp, mjayk Argue in a pm [00:10] 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 [00:11] how to make 2 Oss boot simultaneously from within one [00:11] gordonjcp: please stop saying my name and go away [00:11] mjayk: no [00:11] no no, not like this [00:11] 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] make them choose before the login [00:11] gordonjcp: many dots helps if you can read [00:11] daniel11: those are not viruses, because they cannot self-replicate and they are not persistent [00:12] Choose, not override [00:12] gordonjcp - i gave you several examples of self-replicating code in my previous [00:12] optional boot [00:12] 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 [00:13] daniel11: have you ever seen an ADSL router that ran Windows...? [00:13] STOP THE OFFTOPIC BADWARE ARGUMENT. [00:13] Hahaha. Yes actually. [00:13] homebrew [00:13] wilee-nilee: oops, sorry, just noticed this wasn't #u-ot [00:13] reboot the PC and see 2 Os options [00:13] yeah lets stop now guys. [00:13] lol thanks [00:13] 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] and then help me decide wich one to shoot [00:14] rusty101 - no. [00:14] rusty101: no, because none of your Windows code is running [00:14] ahhhh [00:14] rusty101, Did you install from windows per-chance? [00:14] I am not going to [00:14] I will install from cd [00:14] or make them run in a bunble, haf the screen each [00:15] I am on windows now [00:15] rusty101, Cool, windows and ubuntu will be indifferent partitions then, use common sense, and you will be fine. [00:15] different* [00:15] lurker - I particularly like the idea of being given the option of which OS to shoot when you start your computer. [00:15] there will be the GRUB bootloader [00:16] !virus | rusty0101 here is basic info [00:16] 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 [00:17] daniel11: it is not new, when windows gets moved, 2 boots are shown (2) [00:17] rusty101, There is a security section at the ubuntu forums I would ask questions there. [00:17] okay, thank you very much [00:17] would like to point out windows update isn't a security hole, it's exactly the opposite [00:17] :P [00:17] daniel11: it is quite nice to choose the options , moodwise [00:18] anyone know how to resume sshfs after hibernate. something about pm-utils eaelier but i didnt get it all [00:19] or better yet how to put it in fstab. os doesnt seem to like the sshfs command in there [00:19] daniel11: the next Os overwrote the MBR, and left the old OS buisnessless [00:20] daniel11: but the old guy is still there, just waiting to be awakened [00:22] daniel11: it is still there, but the loader in the beginning doesn't see them both. [00:23] Casey, do you know MBR? [00:23] lurker: I know of it, yes. [00:24] Oh thenk you [00:24] Lurker why do you ask? [00:24] Casey: do you know how to change boot options? [00:25] lurker you need to be more specific, bud. What are we changing, what OS's are we looking to use, etc... === MartynKeigher is now known as MartynKeigher|AW [00:32] can anyone help me with my x crashing problem? [00:32] daniel11: can you get to a tty? i.e. is it defo an x problem [00:33] mjayk - nope, it freezes for all input. I can get to a tty before the crash, but I dont have time to type anything. [00:34] if tty is crashing doesnt that say its not an x problem daniel11 ? I could be wrong [00:35] 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. [00:36] 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] Hi ya all [00:36] 2 of my users went from getting maybe 30-40 spams a day to over 20k. And it's just crap like [00:36] this: http://pastebin.com/VpMmeMsv any ideas at all? [00:37] Will Ubuntu bring back evolution mail to work with the messaging icon an popper? [00:37] CIDR: Get a spamfilter [00:37] I'm using one... [00:37] the last message is Starting CPU interrupts balancing daemon and then saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned [00:37] and it's getting hammered. The users aren't receiving the spam [00:37] both are [ok] [00:37] Spam is unavoidable. 20k seems like a lot though [00:38] I like evolution better that thunderbird [00:38] CIDR - do most of them come form the same netblocks? [00:39] no [00:39] that's what's bizarre [00:39] so completely different netblocks, no similarities to message content, etc? [00:39] CIDR: How exactly is this Ubuntu related? Do you run an Ubuntu server? [00:39] How do i install ushare on linux [00:39] spam filter requires valid reverse dns.... and way different net blocks [00:39] cgtdk: yes [00:40] daniel11: yeah way crazy netblocks and the content of the messages basically are just random words [00:40] no links, no selling of crap, etc... [00:40] Maybe someone doesn't like those two users. Are they related in any way? [00:40] No... not that I can tell [00:40] odd [00:40] VERY [00:41] greg__, Not sure but here is a wiki. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Xbox360Media [00:41] getting hundreds a minute still, only way i'm gettin gthe filter to keep up is to just drop mail to those 2 users [00:41] what kind of spam filter are you using? [00:41] how long has it been going on? [00:42] thanks [00:42] like 8 hours [00:42] mjayk: any ideas what to do? [00:42] wilee [00:42] u the man [00:42] exim with spamassin, clamav [00:42] CIDR: Maybe you should ask on a more relevant forum. #ubuntu isn't exactly filled with spam experts. === sarcasticsimba is now known as vigs [00:43] understood, but it is filled with a vast number of people that may/may not work/be in the field and see this kind of thing [00:43] I've been asking wherever and it's a mystery to most everyone, though it was worth a shot [00:43] daniel11: id go for a recovery cd kinda no idea though sorry [00:43] selam mübarekler ya benim makina da ubuntu kurulu amma çok ısınıyor napsak ona ? [00:43] That's all right, I was just trying to be helpful. [00:44] I've never heard of something like this before. [00:44] I understand. === rebecca is now known as Guest21061 [00:44] This is just crazy [00:44] usually processes 40k mails a day, at 90+ already today, and it's only 7:45 [00:45] hiç türkçe bilen yok mu [00:45] CIDR: do the mails have any common link? [00:45] other than them being just random garbage no === dacs__ is now known as dacs [00:45] no same from, no same reply [00:46] !tr | magdur [00:46] magdur: Turk ubuntu kullanıcıları, Türkçe yardım ya da geyik için /join #ubuntu-tr hizmetinizde. [00:46] I've checked headers/logs literally thousands and thousands of different ip's sending them [00:46] UNITE.Communists, should miss each as if made through excitedly. blackmail on.The sons ran down down the standstill think theyve only [00:46] where are they coming from? All over the world? [00:46] I mean just like 3 paragraphs of garbage like that in each e-mail [00:47] thanks mjayk. I have a USB disk around. if I boot into a safe environment form it, what would you suggest to do next? [00:48] tbh id try to revert drivers and mby do a disk check im a bit outta my depth tbh daniel11 [00:48] Olá, boa noite a todos. alguem do pará? [00:49] simiom9: Please speak English in this channel. [00:49] thanks mjayk [00:49] !pt | simiom9 [00:49] simiom9: Por favor, use #ubuntu-br para ajuda em português. Para entrar no canal por favor faça "/join #ubuntu-br" sem as aspas. Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [00:54] ah. this is interesting. I can still REISUB it. [00:55] ??? [00:55] wzj: yes? [00:56] !!! [01:05] I can get to grub. but grub freezes immediately. [01:07] hi [01:07] hi [01:07] can we talk [01:07] maibe not about ubuntu [01:07] about? [01:07] life? [01:07] NO!!! [01:07] hi [01:07] charlin: Theres #ubuntu-offtopic for non-ubuntu things [01:07] ok [01:08] so [01:08] i wanna to know if how to get along well with ubuntu if my english is poor [01:08] charlin: Install it in your language. [01:09] clever [01:09] cut here for new entry in bash.org [01:09] I have made progress. ps2 keyboard + shift for grub. from the recovery menu am I better off with a root shell prompt or failsafe graphic mode? [01:10] What IRC channel would I join to chat with people in Florida? [01:11] !loco [01:11] Information on Ubuntu Local Community Teams is at http://loco.ubuntu.com/ [01:11] uhelp: Any of them. IRC is a global phenomenon. :-) [01:11] Thank you I will check it out. [01:12] uhelp: I'm in Florida :) [01:13] I have a root shell prompt. any advice on what to do now? or where to start looking for the problem? [01:13] reisio, I remember you --- but I don't remember where --- only that you sold your google maps vehicle. (The channel is #ubuntu-us-fl by the way) [01:13] Do AMD/ATI video cards still not perform well in ubuntu/linux? [01:14] Compared to NVIDIA I mean. [01:14] reisio, I am now in Florida getting Medical Marijuana on the ballot at 2501 Bristol Drive B5 West Palm Beach, FL 33409 [01:14] ewe political issues [01:15] anyone? [01:15] Malgorath: I have AMD it works pretty good most of the time [01:15] Malgorath, we don't think of it as political ... we think of it as getting politics out of a doctor-patient decision [01:15] daniel11: did you do a minimal install? [01:15] uhelp: heh [01:16] no, full install. my computer freezes during startup and the x server does weird things. not sure what the problem is. but I have a root shell now. [01:16] uhelp: he might have meant that getting it decriminalized is political :p [01:16] daniel11: check dmesg and logs to see if there are errors [01:17] reisio: that and its a very OT thing to bring up. I know when I see it the troll in me starts to stir [01:17] huh? [01:17] netlar: I was wondering, I have a box I'm working on with a 7870 in it and was wondering if its time to ditch windows 8 [01:18] I have a 7750 card [01:18] Malgorath: Not into video games [01:18] reisio: its nothing to burn cycles on, just I am against medical versions of anything, make it legal or just let it go [01:18] Malgorath: If you don't do any serious video editing it should be k [01:18] some people like stepping stones [01:19] netlar: I have a windows 7 gaming laptop I use for games. This box was meant to be just pure fun [01:19] Malgorath: It's still slightly slower than windows [01:19] I'm using a hd 7950 [01:19] hewhomust: I have a mac pro tower dual processor for video editing [01:19] nice [01:20] it should run nicely then [01:20] hey hey [01:20] I have to many computers sitting in this office, 2 ACs just to keep it below 80 [01:20] lol [01:20] dhia: hey [01:20] Malgorath: need to start your own server farm [01:20] i'm on an imac, so tell me dogs which one is better mac or linux [01:21] personal opinion [01:21] dhia: I have both. love both [01:21] or windows is better trollolol [01:21] netlar: true mac is linux in disguise dawg ? [01:21] dhia: linux [01:22] mac is bsd in disguise [01:22] 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] heavy, expensive disguise [01:22] dhia: uhh no, it is not open [01:22] linux is probably better because of the proprietary hardware [01:22] ... [01:23] that mac stuffs down users throats [01:23] btw OS X is based on BSD but MAC is hardware, which runs windows, OSX, and linux === MartynKeigher|AW is now known as MartynKeigher [01:23] worst convo ever [01:23] hewhomust: not really, you can opt to buy something else. [01:23] thnks Malgorath. nothing unusual in the logs or dmesg, just my xorg log says that it cant find any screens. above which it says it isnt going to enable any screens because my nvidia adapter doesnt have its power cables attached. the fuck? anyone heard of this problem before? [01:23] resio: yes. [01:23] still linux or windows is significantly easier to build a custom pc === mjayk is now known as mj[away]k [01:24] daniel11: r, e, i, TAB [01:24] unless you go hackintosh [01:24] As I see it , biggest issue I have with Linux is that not enough software companies write softwear for it [01:24] netlar: how does that bother you? [01:24] 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 [01:25] tigrang: that isn't at once enough for you? [01:25] netlar: I don't really do anything that proprietary software is significantly better for [01:25] 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] 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] netlar: for example? [01:25] 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] Well, Intuit has tax sofware and quicken that i rely on [01:25] Malgorath: yeah macs does win in some areas [01:26] netlar: Unixland has alternatives to those that you could rely on instead [01:26] And no photoshop [01:26] has alternatives to that as well [01:26] reisio: I really do love gnucash, except for the reports [01:26] tigrang: there's a command or two for running commands simultaneously [01:26] tigrang: I forget its name [01:26] netlar: gimp but thats debatable as to how good it is compared to photoshop [01:26] 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 [01:27] hewhomust: not any more debatable than anything else [01:27] 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] tigrang: GNU parallel [01:27] reisio: Actually now tthat I think of it, it is only really those three titles [01:28] netlar: quicken & photoshop? [01:28] reisio: thanks, ill try that [01:28] reisio: and proseries, from intuit [01:28] tigrang: if that doesn't work, you might look into devilspie / devilspie2 [01:28] I think personally I'd try to make the parallel run work, though === qos|away is now known as qos [01:29] netlar: so what's missing from gnucash? [01:29] hey all. this is my fstab entry for fstab.. but only root can access it. anyone how to make this allowed to all [01:29] sshfs#website.com:/opt/Music/ /home/luser/Music fuse -p4444 0 0 [01:29] reisio: I know I am being pretty shallow, but they are not as pretty [01:29] 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 [01:30] mobile: probably user or gid options or the like [01:30] 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] netlar: pretty? [01:30] Malgorath: but isn't that an unfair comparison, for example any 1100 dollar laptop will last longer than a 400 dollar one [01:30] reisio: the gui and screens of some of the apps are not that polished [01:30] Malgorath: the warranty is true though [01:30] netlar: which ones? [01:30] reisio: I know the functionality is there, but I am used to pretty [01:31] reisio: gnucash for one [01:31] hewhomust: its not really unfair [01:32] hewhomust: both are used for word processing, web surfing, video chatings/watching [01:32] netlar: so gnucash isn't quicken, that's your complaint? :p [01:32] reisio: the guid of my server user or the user on the client.. server right, that makes more sense [01:32] or was there something else? [01:32] me, when I'm dealing with taxes [01:32] the only thing on my mind is being done [01:33] reisio: It is like being married to a pretty girl, then get devorced and marrying a girl who is a great cook and fun to be with but not nearly as pretty [01:33] so fix it :p [01:33] netlar: you could always modify it if you want lol but I would pick the other girl [01:33] 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] and the dev would be rich :p [01:34] so you wouldn't even have to pay that much [01:34] where do i go to get help with wine? [01:34] reisio: That is something I think about, I would be so willing to pay for software on linux [01:34] cmck193: what kind of help? [01:34] reisio: have you seen that 48min youtube video, why linux sucks? [01:34] there's plenty of software to pay for, but it tends to be inferior [01:34] I cant uninstall nvidia drivers because dpkg is locked. I cant restore my xorg settings because xorg.conf doesnt exist (only xorg.conf.failsafe). help? [01:34] netlar, Then invest in moneydance [01:34] reisio: I want to install rift. [01:34] pay a developer, have him make the software you think is imperfect to be perfect [01:34] Malgorath: I have seen that video [01:35] that guy has some really valid ideas. [01:35] cmck193: read the version links at http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=12482 [01:35] says guid=500 not a recognised command in fstab [01:35] hey guys i have a problem about my computer, it is too hot when i use ubuntu on the other hand it is not too hot when i use windows, what can i do [01:35] mobile: http://www.google.com/search?q=%22sshfs%22%20%22fstab%22%20%22user%22 [01:35] What happened? my apache/php isnt working anymore after installing updates :( [01:35] magdur: define too hot [01:35] perfect thanks! [01:36] reisio: loved his talk about linux having to many splinter projects instead of a focus. I always felt linux had to many cooks in to many different but very similar kitchens [01:36] enissay: check your apache log files. [01:36] Malgorath: whose talk? [01:36] why linux sucks [01:36] reisio: the video, why linux sucks [01:36] mmm [01:36] moes: I would love to pay for gnucash if it meant they polished it up [01:36] reisio: when i try to install required components with winetricks i get "wine cmd.exe /c echo '%ProgramFiles%' returned empty string [01:36] we don't have too many projects, we have exactly as many as are required [01:36] it is impossible for it to be otherwise [01:36] netlar: you can offer bounties for specific tasks you want done [01:36] free software is organic [01:37] hello all......can someone help me with my grub please? I've edited it to boot to windows by default....but it continues to boot to ubuntu 12.04 and when i choose to boot to windows, nothing happens. [01:37] :reisio warm [01:37] jrib serious? [01:37] netlar: sure [01:37] jrib: How does that work [01:37] can anyone help me with my problem please? I cant uninstall nvidia drivers because dpkg is locked. I cant restore my xorg settings because xorg.conf doesnt exist (only xorg.conf.failsafe). help? [01:37] cmck193: talk to #winehq then [01:37] reisio: warm [01:37] magdur: warm [01:37] daniel11: do you have software center open? close it [01:38] I have no xserver running. I certainly do not hve software center open. [01:38] magdur how old is your hardware? [01:38] Odd problem with LibreOffice in the last few versions of Ubuntu with Unity: the Alt+key menu keys don't work. I press Alt+F and it doesn't open the File menu, for instance. Anyone else seeing that? [01:38] reisio: I understand that, but that is also what keeps a lot of dev time all over the map. I think linus needs to rise up and rule the masses :D [01:38] just a year [01:38] ı take it last year [01:38] Works OK in Windows, and in Xubuntu with Xfce, so I think it's a Unity bug. [01:38] daniel11, /var/log/apache2/error.log ? [01:38] yes [01:38] daniel11: what type of video card do you have? [01:39] nvidia something. 6500 probably. [01:39] old one these days. [01:39] daniel11: was this after a fresh install of 13.04? [01:39] 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] enissay: sudo tail /var/log/apache2/error.log [01:39] malgorath: fresh + 1 day [01:40] netlar: here you go: http://wiki.gnucash.org/wiki/Bounty_Program [01:40] daniel11: did it ever start up correctly? [01:40] jrib: I probably would not offer much more than $100, not sure how far that would go [01:40] netlar: you offer $100, 500 other people offer 100$, that motivates a dev team purdy fast :D [01:40] 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] hello all......can someone help me with my grub please? I've edited it to boot to windows by default....but it continues to boot to ubuntu 12.04 and when i choose to boot to windows, nothing happens [01:41] daniel11: try to remove the binary driver [01:41] so is that like indiegogo [01:41] its_steve: What do you mean? [01:41] and where did you install grub [01:41] netlar: I'd hit up their mailing list about how you can help [01:41] Malgorath: dpkg is locked. not sure how to unlock it to use apt-get. [01:41] I can't boot to my win 2003 server .....dual boot system [01:41] jrib: Thanks , good eye opener [01:42] daniel11: ps aux | grep dpkg [01:42] Malgorath: Umm just the ps process itself. I'm on a root recovery console btw. [01:42] looks like #winehq is a dud [01:43] whatever in here anyone interest with my problem ?, my computer is warm too much [01:43] its_steve: how did you install it? [01:43] win 2003 first...then ubuntu [01:43] magdur whats your cpu usage? [01:43] 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] 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] its_steve: how did you install it? [01:44] hewhomust: average %5 [01:44] Enissay: I do this for a living. PM me. [01:44] @hewhomust average %5 [01:44] Enissay: you probably disabled .php files in an httpd.conf file(or sub file) [01:44] installed win 2003 first..then ubuntu with the live cd [01:44] magdur: Thats weird the hardware doesn't seem to be taxed too much [01:45] magdur: are you sure its not just psychological [01:45] its_steve: have you tried fix-boot? its pretty good at fixing grub boo boos [01:45] Hi! I'm trying to log in on my desktop (12.04 LTS) but it keeps redirecting me to a login screen. Any idea what I should do? [01:45] Malgorath.....nope, never heard of it...I'll look it up [01:46] its fixed a few grub issues for me. [01:46] Malgorath: he couldn't if he wanted to [01:46] 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] 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..

I'd look into doing whatever it is you're trying to do with them instead.

[01:50] 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] Fixed, it was permissions on .Xauthority. Thanks, askubuntu.com [01:51] cmck193: isn't its echo '%Program Files%' [01:51] Odd that it seemed to mangle my font sizes in the console too though. [01:51] cmck193: pretty sure there is a space in there [01:51] might need '%Program\ Files%' [01:52] cmck193: btw that command is to just show you the path to C:\Program Files\ [01:52] but it doesn't start winetricks [01:54] cmck193: perhaps you don't need to install anything [01:54] cmck193: you can also run winetricks from CLI on your own and install what you need [01:54] ok? the rift installer will not work [01:55] cmck193: whats it a gold or platinum rating on winehq? [01:56] Hi. [01:56] 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] Hello Gabboz [01:56] 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.

[01:58] cmck193: lot of the 'old' posts have a lot of relivant info [01:58] tigrang: either parallel works at all or it doesn't [01:58] wmctrl shouldn't be a factor [01:59] reisio: wel this is what my script generated and ran: parallel --gnu wmctrl -i -a {1} ::: 0x00e00003 ::: 0x01000021 ::: 0x01c00007 ::: 0x03400005 ::: 0x0360002d ::: 0x038000a0 ::: 0x03c00003 ::: 0x0340046d [02:00] reisio: and no window raised [02:00] tigrang: mmm, maybe try using at [02:00] i m sure that because when i use windows, my computer is colder than installed ubuntu [02:01] magdur: how're you sure [02:02] i touch my computer and i check it is warm [02:02] reisio: isnt that scheduling, how would that be used for this?

I am trying to download a torrent. usually when I click on the link it opens up with transmission but now it is saying I need to choose a program? [02:34] So at this point its either my machine or Pendisk Linux's installer corrupting the write. Testing on a different machine with a brand new flash drive with the same utility and a redownloaded MD5-passed ISO. [02:36] Q_Continuum, I missed you description, would you like to repaste it? [02:36] somsip: using ECHO $TERM outputs xterm , when I type xterm in my bash it transfers control to the other terminal and halts the current one...I want the current one to keep working [02:36] 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") [02:37] cynicist: I don't presently have a Linux-host machine to use dd from is the issue. [02:37] KxTwo, Choose transmission, or make sure it is a compatible torrent file.

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

[03:49] irssi-mike: ls -la /dev/disk/by-uuid/ is giving me dir of /dev/disk/by-uuid/ [03:49] !info apache2-dev [03:49] Package apache2-dev does not exist in raring [03:49] snufft, Really no operating systems all unallocated [03:50] snufft, Pastebin sudo fdsik -l [03:50] wilee-nilee: sorry, swap and the os partition [03:50] pvl1: that's what I needed, thanks :) [03:50] sudo fdisk -l* [03:50] snufft: oh, okay sorry [03:51] snufft: no problem [03:51] snufft, Cool, it seems you are getting what you need. [03:51] hey there wilee-nilee, found an awesome package for my little project. deborphan [03:52] snufft: swapon -s [03:53] pvl1, Cool, that was a cutom ISO right? [03:53] custom* [03:54] wilee-nilee: indeed! [03:56] helo everyone [03:56] why the gnome-terminal can't setup [03:57] !details | hulu [03:57] hulu: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [04:00] wilee-nilee: I have a problem with gnome-terminal. I'm running Ubuntu version 13.04. When I try to config the gnome-terminal the setup windows is gray [04:01] hulu: Err... I'm not sure I understand the problem. Gray? [04:01] snufft: i hear someone recommend swapspace yesterday, maybe its also usefull for you? [04:01] theadmin: gray means can't config [04:02] hulu: config how... [04:02] all config is gray [04:02] hulu: Oh... Hm. Oddity. This is an odd suggestion, but run gnome-terminal from a terminal (another instance of gnome-terminal, or maybe xterm) and paste the output when it hangs [04:03] hulu: Never mind, it doesn't produce any :/ [04:03] hi, say added user1 to make daemon1 run before i login, user1 doesn't have a password by default, then later I added a password, and deleted that password again. is the user is still supposed to be able to run daemon1 before me or any user with gui logs into the system? [04:04] theadmin: no output [04:04] is the user still* [04:04] anonee: The presence of a password shouldn't matter to Upstart. [04:05] thank you theadmin! [04:05] theadmin: i guess the .gconf User rights [04:06] theadmin: but when i change the owner to current user, still can't config [04:06] hulu: Hm. Yes, those could be a problem... [04:07] hulu: Also ~/.gnome and such. [04:08] hulu: are you running dpkg-reconfigure, are you editing the config file... what do you mean config [04:08] pvl1: (s)he means opening the preferences dialog. [04:08] what' [04:08] sorry, what's the meaning of thinClient? [04:09] anonee: Eh. A machine whose sole purpose is to connect to another machine via some remote desktop thingy [04:09] theadmin: yes [04:10] theadmin: thank you [04:10] hulu: open a terminal, killall instances of gnome-terminal, and run it from terminal with debug option, and then open config [04:10] hulu: or go dig through your logs [04:11] hulu: less /var/log/whateverTHEgnomeLOGfileIS [04:11] anonee: passwords dont matter if root is telling the user what to do [04:12] pvl1: Gnome-Terminal wouldn't log to /var/log, it requires root access to write to. [04:12] pvl1 thank you, now I understand more [04:12] pvl1: can't find /var/log/whateverTHEgnomeLOGfileIS [04:12] pvl1: how to run debug mode [04:14] hulu: gnome-terminal --gtk-debug=ALL [04:14] im not running.... thanks bertogatti [04:14] hulu: I'm not sure [04:15] i assumed gnome-terminal -V or -v or g or d [04:15] hulu: you can look through gnome-terminal --help-all === revagomes_ is now known as revagomes [04:16] pvl1: thx [04:16] bertogatti: thx [04:16] let me try === sarcasticsimba is now known as vigs [04:17] thanks to all, bye bye. [04:18] pvl1: no any message [04:18] hi. please someone help me install a tar.gz program [04:19] theblindowl, you checked the repos first to see if you need the tar? [04:19] pvl1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5931448/ [04:19] I swear... why don't people get this... theblindowl: .tar.gz is an archive, it can contain absolutely anything. [04:19] theblindowl: http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html [04:21] hulu: the window is blank for Edit > Profile Preferences, but does the same thing happen for other windows like Edit > Profiles, Terminal > Title, etc.? [04:21] brothers please write the command for me. this is where the file is : /home/theblindowl/Downloads/reaver-1.4.tar.gz [04:21] theblindowl: check out the link [04:22] theblindowl: reaver is in the repositories. "sudo apt-get install reaver". And we're not your brothers. [04:22] reaver-1.4.tar.gz - reaver-wps - Reaver v1.4 - "Brute force attack ..." [04:23] hulu: can you try running gnome-panel from terminal, and opening this config. if anything is output from terminal, pastebin please [04:23] wilee-nilee: Eh. Security testing. Nothing wrong with that... Depends on how you use it, though. [04:23] theadmin, Yeah. ;) [04:23] theadmin, I'm running ubuntu 12.04 brother. and i cannot find those packages you mentioned [04:24] theblindowl: Oh, it indeed is not in Precise. [04:24] theblindowl: You could search for a PPA. I have no idea what their tarball is. AND DON'T CALL ME BROTHER :/ It's offensive. [04:24] I hardly think our "brother has good intentions", they cannot even install it, security testing is super geekville [04:24] theadmin, so what should i do bro [04:25] bertogatti: the Edit > Profile Preferences is gray, but the Terminal > Title can run [04:25] theblindowl: i repeat http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/softinstall.html [04:25] theblindowl: start from the basics [04:25] pvl1: i havn't the gnome-panel [04:26] theblindowl: http://bit.ly/14B4prJ [04:26] thanks brothers [04:26] bad pvl1 no soup for you. ;) [04:26] hulu: im sorry i didnt understand. you havent the gnome panel? [04:27] wilee-nilee: ;) gotta teach somehow right [04:27] !google | pvl1 [04:27] pvl1: While Google is useful for helpers, many newer users don't have the google-fu yet. Please don't tell people to "google it" when they ask a question. === sarcasticsimba is now known as vigs [04:27] :( [04:27] Sorry guys my english is bad [04:27] alot of times a simple websearch (i use duckduckgo or startpage) would answer alot of the basic questions [04:27] pvl1: what's the gnome panel command [04:27] pvl1: Also, although it's not a rule, URL shorteners are evil. You can usually tell what the link might be from looking at the URL, but with URL shorteners... who knows? [04:28] hulu: oh oops gnome-terminal sorry [04:28] hulu: at worst you can always try Guake [04:28] theadmin: fair enoughm i chose the second button to shorten so itd look pretty. i think im ocd [04:28] theadmin: next time perhaps ill make it more obvious [04:28] jk [04:29] i (when using tinyurl's shortener) change the http://www.tinyurl/whatever to http://preview.tinyurl/whatever ... thisw way without any addons needed it will take you to the site that TELLS YOU where your going [04:29] then you can click the link there to "go there" [04:29] bertogatti: what means Guake [04:29] xmetal: Works with is.gd too: http://is.gd/blah to http://is.gd/blah+ [04:30] i fully understand not wanting to click a link, not knowing where it's going [04:30] bertogatti: another shell emulator [04:30] xmetal: Err, - not + [04:30] *****hulu: [04:32] pvl1: let me try [04:34] hulu: I have to go, sorry i couldn't help, hope you solve your problem [04:38] 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? [04:39] resets after closing the window you mean? [04:39] rreed: so, it "registers" the settings? and resets them? [04:39] pvl1, Yes, after I close the window, it resets. [04:40] holstein, It registers the settings if I raise it from default, but not when I lower it. [04:40] 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] rreed: have you tried editing the config files for X (im pretty sure its X?) [04:41] ;) [04:41] pvl1: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5931479/ [04:41] pvl1: i get this message [04:41] pvl1, At least I was headed in the right direction originally ;) [04:41] rreed, i mean we CAN debug... but that could take god knows how long [04:42] hulu: what have you tried? all of those suggestions? [04:42] f [04:42] hulu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure gnome-terminal [04:44] hulu: as holstein said, try the suggestions in your message [04:44] pvl1: i have reconfig the gnome-termianl [04:44] hulu: have you tried all the other suggestions?

[04:46] holstein: did the reconfig work [04:46] holstein: their config windows for gnome-terminal comes up all grey [04:47] hulu: did the reconfig work [04:47] holstein: i don't know how to do the suggestions [04:47] outcoldman: how is it [04:48] hulu: what exactly do you not understand? [04:49] hulu: i would blow out the config first.. i also wouldnt hesitate to just install another terminal emulator [04:50] holstein: i don't know how to do [04:50] hulu: what do i suggest? try as a new user, then, if all is normal, you will know that the issue is in your user's /home [04:51] holstein: does a dpkg-reconfigure wipe config files? [04:51] hulu: you have to say "i dont know how to follow step A" for example [04:51] pvl1: not sure... [04:51] pvl1, http://askubuntu.com/a/326233/169426 [04:52] hulu: if you are saying, "i dont know how to follow the suggestions", im saying, read them... if you have a question about one, or need help interpreting one, past it here, and a volunteer can help [04:52] paste* === Wug[Hyperspace] is now known as Wug [04:56] outcoldman: how much was it [04:56] and whats the quality on it [04:56] 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 ? [04:57] thunder1212: if thats what the printer needs [04:57] holstein: how do i know? i assume the printer is accesed from port 631. [04:58] holstein: and does ufw really protect from hackers? [04:58] thunder1212: i wouldnt assume.. i would pull the firewall down, and test.. then you'll know the printer is working [04:59] 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] !firewall [04:59] 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] !info gufw [04:59] gufw (source: gui-ufw): graphical user interface for ufw.

You're such a great helper, you deserve a cookie!

[05:32] server [05:32] Is there still an Ubuntu minimal install ISO? [05:32] YokoBR, I figured so. [05:32] robertzaccour, What release? [05:33] wilee-nilee: current [05:33] robertzaccour, The minimal is still there now called alternative I believe. [05:34] http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads [05:34] 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] robertzaccour, Look at the link, that is what it is. [05:35] only the name has changed [05:35] robertzaccour: The alternative downloads has a netinstall image. That's what you want. [05:35] vsftpd just won't work. The version is 2.2.2, on Ubuntu 10.04 [05:35] theadmin: Oh ok thanks. [05:36] Hi, how can I bypass Unity? [05:36] Hello friends and colleagues I would like to be friends and talk on the irc [05:36] lgc, What do you mean exactly? [05:36] He mean dat u R da homsax [05:37] I need halp wit my install uv debanto [05:37] !ot | asdasdasd [05:37] 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] 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] wilee-nilee: I mean having options, like something Gnome-like without having to uninstall Unity. [05:38] unity is my favrte ice cream flabor of debanto [05:38] YokoBR: Really? [05:38] yes [05:38] lgc, Which gnome the gnome 3 desktop called the gnome-shell, or the fallback a pseudo gnome 2? [05:38] asdasdasd, This is not chat it is support, go to #ubuntu-offtopic [05:38] 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 [05:39] Gnome 3 is sort of Unity-like, for what I've heard. I suppose I want the pseudo-gnome thing. [05:39] 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] we chatted all day and shared photos [05:39] lgc: There's also gnome-fallback-session but it became rather limited now [05:39] 27 yeas [05:39] YokoBR: Congrats. [05:39] years [05:39] thanks, lgc :) [05:39] wilee-nilee: Can the alternate install install Ubuntu without a DE at all? [05:40] YokoBR, #ubuntu-offtopic please and congrats. ;) [05:40] 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] robertzaccour: No, it's just a text installer for the full Ubuntu setup, use the mini.iso (netinstall) [05:40] sorry, wilee-nilee, and thanks for the tip [05:40] robertzaccour, yeah, I believe it is the base without X if you add nothing [05:41] !nounity | lgc [05:41] 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] 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. [05:42] hello all !!! for last couple of months my dhcp service use to get start after boot (12.04 64bit) but last 2 days suddenly its is not getting at boot however tight now i have managed to start at boot by putting in /etc/network/if-up.d/ [05:42] robertzaccour, I believe there are the same, the mini is now called the alternative. [05:42] they* [05:42] wilee-nilee: oh ok thanks [05:42] theadmin, wilee-nilee, I'd like to try both, actually. Is it possible? Do I get to choose on the logon screen? [05:42] lgc: Yup [05:42] the previous alternative was discontinued [05:42] but was curious how it happened suddenly i have not update anything nor i have made any changes [05:44] hi, is that possible to turn my socks proxy (ssh tunneling) to https proxy? I am using android sdk manager which only supports https proxy. thanks. [05:44] lgc, You can install both and there is a website that has meta lists for "some" of the desktops to remove any you don't want to keep [05:44] hi guys. having a lil trouble updating this system. its been in a box for a few months. running 12.04 LTS, it found 96 updates but getting 404 when trying to install em [05:44] MarTrom: Maybe you should re-check for updates [05:44] wilee-nilee: I think I don't quite get the meta-list thing. Please explain. [05:44] MarTrom: It may be trying to download old ones by some chance [05:44] MarTrom: can you actually connect to the Internet? [05:45] lgc, see the playing around section for the meta lists. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ [05:45] lgc: A metapackage is such a package that is empty, and it's sole purpose is to pull in other packages through dependencies === sbhyun is now known as nymph [05:45] lgc: ubuntu-desktop, xubuntu-desktop, lubuntu-desktop, kubuntu-desktop are examples [05:45] lgc, Basicall if you install a desktop there are packages that can't be removed by just running a apt-get remove, so you want the whole list called a meta list. [05:46] Doh, you got it the adamk [05:46] theadmin, ^^^ [05:46] Hey guys. my gnome shell froze. I did ctrl+alt+f2 . how can I reset gnome shell? [05:46] not reset but restart. without restarting all my applications. [05:47] afflicto_, alt-fr-r from the desktop [05:47] sorry alt-f2-r [05:47] afflicto_, can you run commands? or alt+f2? [05:47] gordonjcp, I am online right now from the system [05:47] ok thanks. turns out, I went back to GUI using ctlr+alt+f7 and it was automatically reset or something. [05:48] afflicto_, a restart from the desktop leaving all apps runing is alt-f2-r [05:49] theadmin: I can't find much of Xfce. In fact xubuntu-desktop doesn't seem to exist. [05:50] lgc: ...huh? [05:50] lgc: sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop [05:50] lgc: Or click: http://apt.ubuntu.com/p/xubuntu-desktop [05:50] hi, I can use ssh to create socks proxy. but now, I need https proxy. is that possible to turn my socks proxy to https proxy? thanks. [05:52] theadmin: Doesn't work. It doesn't seem to locate the package. [05:52] lgc: ...What Ubuntu version is this? [05:53] theadmin: I just installed from a 12.04 CD. [05:54] lgc: Okay. Hm. Install all updates and try again. [05:54] lgc: The package lists may not be loaded yet [05:54] lgc: Or just run sudo apt-get update [05:54] theadmin: I'll do the update first [05:55] Hello [05:55] Anyone here? [05:55] Increase: Yup [05:55] Hey [05:55] I need help installing something [05:55] yes tell me [05:55] Increase: You see the list .... yes we are here+ [05:55] !details | Increase [05:55] Increase: 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 ..." [05:56] Okay, I've got this download. I successfully extracted it and now when I sudo apt-get install or ./configure won't work [05:56] I can't cd to the folder on the desktop either [05:56] I've updated apt-get as well [05:56] Increase: Is the software you're looking for in the repositories? [05:57] Increase: If not, it won't work with apt [05:57] Increase: If you downloaded something you have to compile with configure unless is a binary or a package [05:57] I have no clue what the repositories is [05:58] Increase: The Software Center? [05:58] Increase: Just a database of softwares [05:58] No, I'm not using the software center [05:58] to install stuff without you bother around downloading and installing... and also version is chosen by ubuntu team as the stable one [05:59] Increase: Why not? It has a ton of software. [05:59] Increase: And apt-get uses the same software database as the Software Centre, you can't just apt-get install a tarball anyway [06:00] I'm trying to get into network security and downloading reaver/aircrack-ng [06:00] First time using linux/ubuntu [06:00] Reaver isn't on the software center [06:00] Increase: you can add the repository and you have it too === bart is now known as Guest59803 [06:01] Increase: It is, at least on 13.04. [06:01] Increase: if you don't have in the list is because ubuntu team considered that unsafe or illegal [06:01] Increase: but still you can add specific repository and you have it [06:01] z8z: Nah, they just can't add ALL the software to the database, after all, there's tons of it [06:03] theadmin: you were right. Upon updating it became aware of xubuntu-desktop. [06:03] well i can't ever see any network attack tool in ubuntu repos [06:03] lgc: Yay. [06:03] z8z: aircrack-ng is. Reaver is, too, but only since Raring. [06:04] theadmin: ok probably became stable then [06:04] 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] by the way, I had trouble choosing the right keboard type. How can I do it again? [06:04] lgc: Keyboard type? You mean Layout? [06:05] s/L/l/ [06:05] theadmin: yeah this is what i'm telling [06:05] theadmin: yep. [06:05] Increase: wanna save time? just install backtrack and you have everything you need [06:05] lgc: Well, on Unity, System Settings -> Keyboard Layout, on Xfce, Applications -> Settings -> Settings Manager -> Keyboard. [06:05] z8z [06:06] qin: What? :D [06:07] theadmin: It's not the same tool that configured it initially. It's quite limited, I think. [06:07] z8z: from 10.10 you can include bt repos in ubuntu.... sorry strugle with pad [06:07] theadmin: can you tell me why ubuntu team consider normal quality a package like krusader? [06:07] z8z: I don't see anything wrong with it. [06:07] qin: oh good ... didn't know that [06:08] theadmin: full of bugs [06:08] z8z: Hm. I never used it. Midnight Commander ftw ;) [06:08] theadmin: well.... it also says is a beta but [06:09] theadmin: midnight as too few feature compared to krusader [06:10] theadmin: if just Jean (the developer) fix those remaining bugs the 2.4.0 version is best twin panel in the world [06:11] theadmin: do you know of any other tool for keyboard configuration? [06:13] lgc: Uh. No, not really [06:13] z8z: Hamsters. [06:13] theadmin: OK, thanks. [06:13] good evening. I have 13.04 on my desktop. Every time I try to plug in my xbox controller, I keep getting "unable to enumerate USB device on port 2." [06:13] good morning [06:14] it does initially detect my xbox controller, but then i get port disabled (emi) [06:15] theadmin: what is that? [06:15] z8z: A kind of animal :D [06:15] theadmin: lol :D [06:16] theadmin: thanks for the tip :D [06:17] hapster is closest to perpetum mobile we could get. [06:17] ok i have a trash folder on my mounted drive and i ran nautilus as root so of course i can't restore the trash items [06:17] how can i restore the trash items? [06:18] goddard: no way.... better to reinstall os [06:19] z8z: ? my os is fine [06:19] goddard: lol just kidding :D [06:19] goddard: http://askubuntu.com/questions/28639/how-do-i-restore-the-trash-icon-on-the-desktop [06:20] i dont want to restore the trash icon [06:20] goddard: oh sorry read just now what you exactly asked [06:20] i deleted files in "sudo nautilus" now I have a trash folder that has root permissions and I can't restore the files on my mounted drive that is not my main drive. [06:21] how to update all apps on ubuntu? [06:21] danny4way: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade [06:21] I don't think there is an option for updating on Software Manager [06:21] danny4way: sudo apt-get update -V [06:21] Oh okay. Thanks guy [06:21] danny4way: sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -V [06:21] Because I am trying to update PlayonLinux [06:21] hello all !!! for last couple of months my dhcp service use to get start after boot (12.04 64bit) but last 2 days suddenly its is not getting up at boot however right now i have managed to start at boot by putting in /etc/network/if-up.d/ [06:21] danny4way: run both [06:21] but was curious how it happened suddenly i have not update anything nor i have made any changes [06:22] But by running those commands, will it show what apps are updated? [06:22] of course [06:22] Oh oKay. Thanks z8z [06:22] danny4way: -V option stays for verbose [06:23] I just did it but it doesn't require reboot. Does it? [06:23] danny4way: only if it updated system packages [06:23] danny4way: if in doubt just reboot [06:23] no. Unfortunately, It doesn't work [06:23] hi, I have given Socks Host in Network Proxy under "System Settings". and in terminal, set | grep -i proxy shows proxy variables are defined. but it doesn't work at all. all the connections I made do not go through the socks proxy. why? thanks. [06:24] I just run sudo apt-get update. [06:24] It doens'nt work [06:24] But I will try your command. [06:24] Hold on. [06:24] danny4way: what it says? [06:24] I am not sure. I closed it. [06:24] goddard: why you would ever need to get something you putted in the trash? [06:25] Because they have all those results about all links and stuff. [06:25] So I got confused. === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [06:25] start->system->update manager [06:25] goddard: first thing, don't do "sudo nautilus" [06:26] goddard: where is this Trash directory you can't get rid of? [06:26] And ? [06:26] z8z [06:26] I tried that before already. It just actually update ubuntu and other built in apps [06:26] But I can't update apps like PlayonLinux or something like wine [06:29] BTW, apt-get upgrade doesn't work [06:29] It says E: Could not open lock file/var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [06:29] Give me a iptables rules to open the port number 2812 both incoming and out going [06:30] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [06:30] What to do? [06:30] Anyone? [06:30] I seriously need to update my app (PlayonLinux) to install windows app that I want. [06:30] danny4way: what does the error message say? [06:30] E: Could not open lock file/var/lib/dpkg/lock - open (13: Permission denied) [06:31] E: Unable to lock the administration directory (/var/lib/dpkg/), are you root? [06:31] okay [06:31] break it down [06:31] danny4way: re-read the whole error message. [06:31] danny4way: sudo apt-get [06:31] Oh. My bad [06:31] Myrtti: if you just give people the answer they don't learn ;-) [06:31] I didn't put sudo [06:31] danny4way: the clue is the "are you root?" [06:32] But still. Results come out with 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 0 not upgraded [06:32] What does that suppose to mean? Doesn't that sudo apt-get upgrade command suppose to update my apps? [06:32] danny4way: right, but only stuff that is packaged [06:32] But still my "PlayonLinux" is still in same version. [06:33] danny4way: where did you install this PlayonLinux from? [06:33] any one there [06:33] I am not sure but it's either by commands from terminal or software center [06:34] anyone ever successfully configured system wide socks proxy? google search tells me no one is successful on this. [06:34] danny4way: if there's an updated package available from whoever provides that, you could try installing that [06:34] danny4way: if you install over the top of an older version, it will use the newer version [06:34] Oh really? [06:35] So if i do sudo apt-get install playonlinux again it will install newer version? [06:35] Is that what you are saying? [06:35] danny4way: if there's a newer version packaged for the distro you're using [06:36] OH okay. [06:36] ik.;/mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm##############################{}@~#####y6t [06:36] I will do it again. [06:36] Thank you. I will try it. [06:36] ^^^ Suzie cat says hi [06:36] gordonjcp: its on my mounted drive [06:36] i dont want to get rid of it [06:36] goddard: what are you trying to do with it? [06:36] danny4way: what version do you have at the moment? [06:37] 4.1.1 [06:37] But in order to install the program that I want, It has to be 4.2.1 [06:39] danny4way: well the one packaged is 4.0.14 [06:40] Oh. I will just look through it. [06:40] 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] RIght now one app that I need seems to work fine [06:40] It installed fine. But i am actually gonna install the one that I actually need. [06:40] OH yeah. It's upgraded now.

Really saved me from the retardation I was getting. Lol [07:55] Increase: devs just write code and algorithms [07:55] Increase: np :) [07:58] I added this line to my fstab yesterday to auto mount my NTFS partition, then tested it with sudo mount -a, and it mounted perfectly. today after booting up, the dir where its supposed to be mounted is empty, and if I run sudo mount -a I get no errors, and the mount dir is still empty. UUID=AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFF /home/bob/stuff ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0 [08:00] Lope: "mount | grep stuff" does it show it as mounted? [08:01] it does show up... /dev/sda4 on /home/bob/stuff type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) [08:01] Lope: so it is mounted [08:01] well, the folder is empty? [08:02] and theres loads of stuff on that partition [08:02] ls -lxua just gives me . and .. [08:02] Lope: ls -ld /home/bob/stuff [08:02] Lope: Have you obscured the UUID in the line you pasted above, the "AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFF" Looks rather odd for the UUID [08:03] yes :) [08:03] Lope: df -h /home/bob/stuff [08:03] Lope: ok, thought it was just worth asking the question [08:03] drwxr-xr-x 2 bob bob 4096 Jul 30 12:29 /home/bob/stuff [08:04] I can't type the characters "f" or "b" in my shell. I can type them in programs run from the shell and all other programs, but in the shell nothing happens when I enter them. What could possibly be causing this? [08:04] Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on | /dev/sda4 30G 12G 17G 42% /home/bob/stuff === vincent is now known as Guest58779 [08:04] hmmm those numbers are wrong [08:04] Evening peoples [08:04] the that partition is supposed to be like 500GB or more [08:05] Lope: check it, "sudo parted -l", check UUID "sudo blkid" [08:06] how do I check the types of partitions on a non mounted disk? (so I can issue the correct mount command) [08:07] al_nz1: sudo parted -l [08:07] llutz: the UUID is correct (comparing sudo blkid and cat /etc/fstab ) [08:08] thanks [08:08] Lope: but "df" shows wrong size? what does parted tell you as size for /dev/sda4? [08:08] I noticed the format of the first few UUIDs in my fstab file are different to the one I added. [08:08] the one I added has no punctuation, its all uppercase hexadecimal. === luke_ is now known as lewq [08:09] Lope: use UUIDs given by blkid to be sure [08:09] the ones that were generated by my install are lowercase, longer and have a few hyphens in them [08:09] llutz: yes using the one exactly given by blkid [08:09] do I not need quotes around it? (i have no quotes) [08:09] Lope: no [08:10] its just UUID=AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFF /home/bob/stuff ntfs rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0 [08:10] Lope: looks fine (just umask=003 is odd, but...) [08:10] parted -l says its 654GB [08:11] whats umask? I copied it off an ubuntu answers webpage. [08:11] I just changed the uid and gid to equal the values given by the 'id [08:11] ' command [08:11] and of course the UUID and mount dir [08:11] 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] and, please, whats the best way to cp a bunch of data from one nix system to another? sftp or something? [08:12] llutz: is it possible that ubuntu is auto mounting my hard drive at bootup and there is a conflict? [08:12] I really want to copy the /mnt/disk/Baker to new folder [08:12] whats o? [08:13] Lope: "others" [08:13] what umask do you recommend? [08:13] Lope: "0002", depends on the usage (more users than just you? etc.pp) [08:14] just me. I want to be able to execute shell scripts etc on the partition? [08:14] 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] 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] its a huge data partition. I'm moving over from windows. [08:15] 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] the reason I added it to my fstab is I want it to auto-mount [08:16] without me having to go into the file manager to open it and make it mount that way. [08:16] it is an internal drive. [08:17] 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] 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] hmm [08:18] can I unmount, then re-mount? [08:18] what is the command for that? [08:18] sudo umount /home/bob/stuff [08:18] sudo mount /home/bob/stuff [08:18] Lope: llutz assumes it's in your fstab (with all the right paramaters) [08:19] Supaplex: which he has, thats part of the problem [08:19] k. tiny screen here :) (scrollback's a pain) [08:20] Lope: sounds like noauto is in the fstab. remove it to mount at boot time. [08:21] UUID=AAABBBCCCDDDEEEFFF /home/bob/stuff ntfs [08:21] rw,auto,users,exec,nls=utf8,umask=003,gid=1000,uid=1000 0 0 [08:21] Supaplex: ^^ that#s his fstab entry [08:22] Supaplex: it does have the flag auto. it does not have noauto [08:23] "auto" is default, you don't really need it. just make sure not to have "noauto" :) Lope [08:23] 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] how can I unmount it and then re-mount it? [08:23] sudo umount /home/bob/stuff Lope [08:23] sudo mount /home/bob/stuff Lope [08:23] 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. [08:24] 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. [08:26] weird ok so I tried sudo umount /home/bob/stuff and it said its not mounted [08:26] 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] damn, how drunk am I? jpg images animate? https://fbcdn-sphotos-a-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-ash4/480465_494004533947293_1746947633_n.jpg [08:26] so I ran sudo mount -a AGAIN. and it didn't give errors (it never has) now its mounted perfectly. really weird [08:26] Should I reboot and see what happens again?

[08:30] okay I'll reboot and see what happens. [08:33] okay, I've rebooted and I have the same situation as before. the mount dir is emtpy. [08:33] okay, I ran sudo mount -a (no errors) but its not mounted. [08:35] hmmm [08:35] how do I figure out whats wrong :/ === Linux_noob is now known as Lope [08:36] hehe, me again. [08:38] Lope: what kind of partition is /dev/sda4, is it a normal primary or an extended? (sudo parted -l should tell you) [08:38] sudo mount -l shows /dev/sda5 on /home/bob/stuff type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,allow_other,default_permissions,blksize=4096) [Stuff] [08:39] erm, i meant sda4 [08:39] whats up with default_permissions ? [08:40] 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] its in some kind of extended partition [08:40] I'll show a printout [08:41] Lope: stop obfuscating stuff, it makes helping harder [08:41] 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] Sorry [08:42] my partition listing http://pastebin.com/3MtCG9Lj [08:43] its the sda5 I want to mount. [08:44] Lope: "sudo blkid /dev/sda5" is that the UUID your /etc/fstab entry contains? [08:44] yes 100% exactly [08:44] ballock: you can't do that [08:44] ballock: nor should you do that [08:45] ballock: you should match dependencies correctly [08:45] I know I should not do that [08:45] 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] but I don't want to rebuild the package with correct dependencies to verify this on my system [08:45] That logo looks *awfully* familiar... [08:46] 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] ikonia: is there another database that gets considered for dpkg status by apt? [08:46] !ntfs | Lope [08:46] Lope: To view your Windows/Mac partitions see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AutomaticallyMountPartitions - For write access, see !NTFS-3g or !FUSE [08:46] 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) [08:47] !ntfs-3g | Lope these links should give you the options you need [08:47] 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] ballock: the internal binary one [08:47] TC|Laptop: no-one, don't worry about it [08:47] I thought so, but I couldn't find it in /var/lib/apt [08:47] Is there a way to regenerate it? [08:47] ballock: only with "factual" data [08:48] where is it? [08:48] *nodnod* All good, if it's not an issue then there's no worries, thought I should check anyway. Thanks for the heads up :) === ecthiender is now known as ecthiender|AFK [08:48] ballock: it's /var/lib/dpkg - somewhere like that, I don't remember off the top of my head [08:49] ikonia: can't find it there, there's just the list of available packages [08:49] no binary files, either [08:50] ballock: it is around [08:50] but you can't modify it [08:50] Lope: that's a good sign. sda ... is partition detection. [08:51] Tell me a reason I should not claim oracle-java7-jre provides sun-java6-jre in my current system. [08:51] because it doesn't [08:52] 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] 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] 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] ballock: it's up to you, do what you want [08:53] 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] hi [08:53] thanks for that, though [08:53] ballock: there is a binary file / db [08:53] I'll try strace on apt-get to find it [08:54] I see the ubuntu help page doesn't specify a uid or gid. does that mean it will be systemwide [08:54] holstein: there is a libpeerconnection.log file automatically created in my home directory why? [08:56] which is faster on an old PC: Ubuntu 10.04 or Lubuntu 12.04? [08:56] libpeerconnection.log [08:56] jony_easyrider: lubuntu12.04 [08:57] sudo mount -l is showing that its mounted. but the folder is empty. maybe the NTFS partition is damaged. [08:57] is the linux NTFS driver a bit dodgy? is it recommended to write to a NTFS partition? [08:57] Lope: hang on [08:57] Lope: can you pastebin the output of the command "mount" please into a pastebin [08:58] jony_easyrider, Lubuntu 13.04 is my recommendation [08:58] 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] libpeerconnection.log created in home why? [08:58] sure [08:59] 10.04 isn't supported and it's very old, lubuntu didn't make an LTS in 12.04 [08:59] thunder1212: chrome/chromium [08:59] llutz: ok thnx :) [08:59] 10.04 still has server support [09:00] mount: http://pastebin.com/taRszb9i parted: http://pastebin.com/3MtCG9Lj [09:01] 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] thunder1212: sudo apt-get update [09:02] thunder1212: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install firefox [09:02] then you need to upgrade, specifically the firefox package, somehow [09:02] Lope: ok, so that ntfs partition is mounted using "fuser" which is the "ntfs-3g" component you whre talking about [09:02] Lope: but i do not want to update my whole system [09:02] llutz: ok got it [09:02] Lope: so if you go into /home/bob/stuff is that directory empty ? [09:02] thunder1212: that will update the database and update firefox if there is an update [09:03] thunder1212: update doesn't update any programs, just your apt-database of what is available. [09:03] Lope: ok thnx:) [09:03] sudo apt-get upgrade will upgrade all your programs :) [09:03] yes its empty [09:04] (ikonia) [09:04] Lope: ok, so that's as "honest" as it gets [09:05] 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] Lope: it's mounted fine now [09:05] whats that command where you can see how much free space on your mounts? [09:05] then fine ain't good enough :p [09:06] cos I can't see the hundreds of GB of dirs and files :) [09:06] perhaps I need to boot windows again for a NTFS scan. [09:06] going forward am I going to have endless hassles using a NTFS partition for storing the bulk of my data? [09:06] Lope: you should verify the partition within windows if possible. [09:07] should I just copy the data off and format that partition as EXTx? [09:07] I've pretty much had enough of windows. [09:07] Lope: the ntfs kernel module is "usable" and quite mature, now so you should not have problems [09:07] Hi, is there any way to get debian package source in Ubuntu? [09:07] but I've not been able to completely get my dev environment sorted on linux yet. so I've not been able to work for the last 2 days. [09:07] Lope: less hassle, if you don't want to access the data from anythin != linux [09:08] I've added debian source repository in /etc/apt/source.list. [09:08] okay I'll reboot into windows and see what windows says. [09:08] and using apt-get source packageName -t unstable, but [09:08] The value 'unstable' is invalid for APT::Default-Release as such a release is not available in the sources [09:09] I don't think using NTFS partition is very error free so far. within a handfull of mounts I've had at least 1 case of NTFS corruption. [09:09] anyone using sublime text here and can help me out for a second please? [09:09] okay. bbiaw. thank you for your help awesome people! [09:09] haha, pity I can't connect that partition to a windows VM and scan it that way :) [09:09] if it was USB I could. [09:10] * Lope puts on a rubber suit to go into windows [09:10] hello. I played a game on wine and now I can no longer hear audio on my system [09:10] how can I troubleshoot? === linuxuz3r_ is now known as linuxuz3r === jscott19_ is now known as jscott1989 [09:13] I am trying to send a patch using git imap-send on ubuntu 13.04 and I get error "SSL requested but SSL support not compiled in". Is there a git package WITH ssl? === gbyers[Away] is now known as g_byers [09:16] ikonia: FYI the binary DB is in /var/cache/apt, but it's not considered authoritative, it's regenerated on each apt-get run (or so it seems); in my case it was not enough to change Provides: in /var/lib/dpkg/status, I needed to change the package version there, too. For some reason apt-get treats available packages more authoritatively than the status file. [09:17] ballock: that seems very odd, but worth knowing, thank you [09:17] Postfix is sending to some misstyped version of my mail address, probably from a past failed configuration, even if I don't type a recipient address. When it happens it I get error report from the mail server thet the recipient does not exist. [09:17] ikonia: and jxplorer seems to work with Oracle's Java7, so perhaps we should update jxplorer package with that data [09:18] ballock: you can request a change to the package via launchpad.net [09:18] PeterGriffin: postfix doesn't send mail addresses, the mail client does [09:19] ikonia: Do you mean I have to check the config of mutt? [09:19] PeterGriffin: if that's what's sending the mail, yes [09:19] ikonia: can do, though the package is in universe, so I guess I should head to Debian guys? [09:20] ballock: depends if it's just a clean port from debian to ubuntu or if ubuntu guys rebuild it [09:20] ballock: maybe worth to do it via launchpad and feed back to ubuntu->debian in the correct order [09:20] rather than jumping straight to upstream [09:23] hello [09:23] quick question - I am having issues with the ssh agent. ssh-add -l gives me "the agent has no identities" [09:24] How can I find / load the ssh keys into it?

Eg: http://is.gd/HKIk7Y and http://is.gd/dgb9lA [10:52] Asch: you should understand what you are doing and not just blindly follow these instructions to make sure you don't render your system unusuable [10:56] Hello [10:56] Hi [10:56] hi [10:57] Can you tell me how to bypass the source code of a website that requires a password? I downloaded all the files, but when I view the source code, it redirects me to their www [10:58] 'view' the source code in a text editor. not your browser perhaps [10:58] then edit it. [10:59] client: when you try to view the source code of the website, or the files? [11:00] I used a tool called webhttrack to download the source code of the site, but the site is password protected, although it looks like the source code is showing the site [11:00] how can i mount 9p ? [11:00] Hiyas all [11:00] client: Upload the index.html to a pastebin [11:01] 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 [11:02] bobslee, and a '9p' is what? [11:03] Dr_willis: probably a Bell Plan9 partition [11:03] Dr_willis: a plan9 (bell labs) filesystem [11:03] see if the kernel supports the filesystem, man mount may mention it also. [11:03] 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] i'm trying.. we'll see [11:03] used to be come /proc/fileystems (i think?) file that listed all supported filesystems by the kernel [11:04] I'm not sure which index.html to pastebin. There is 1 for the web app itself and another 1 [11:04] client: Both of them [11:04] client, so pastebin themboth? not like they charge :P [11:04] Dr_willis: thanx. there's no 9p in it.. hold on [11:04] bobslee, or linux dosent call it '9p' [11:05] Dr_willis: maybe ninep :s lol [11:05] bobslee: look into this: http://v9fs.sourceforge.net/ [11:06] A kernel client driver for Linux is part of the v9fs project. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/9P [11:06] Looks like its only for 2.6 though [11:07] Here is the source code for the actual app itself: http://pastebin.com/kjU2HmDi [11:09] hi, I got the following problem on a new 12.04 ubuntu install: when I click on Suspend in the Gear Menu, the PC sometimes starts 10 minutes or so later without me doing anything, any ideas about this? [11:09] the syslog doesn't have anything that could help as far as I see it [11:09] (also I am at work now) [11:10] client: You are trying to mirror a webapp. [11:10] 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] That won't really work [11:10] Yes mudkip908 [11:10] Why not? [11:10] there is no hibernate in 12.04 anymore [11:10] Lunar_LanderU, it can be enabled. [11:10] ah [11:10] If it was only clientside (javascript) then it would be possible [11:11] you need a swap partion = ram+a bit more. [11:11] also, the strange thing is, that it turns on when I am lying in bed, 3 m away from the system [11:11] yeah I got a 2 GB swap which the installer made [11:11] However it also uses serverside scripts, which you can't mirror [11:11] mudkip908 it looks like it does mostly run client-side [11:11] they have this giant client-side .js file === metxas_ is now known as metxas [11:12] hi guys, i did a software update yesterday, i am not entirely sure what was updated but it was listed as "ubuntu base" and i was requested to reboot for this update, after rebooting the GUI wouldn't load any more if i did ctrl+alt+F1 i got to the terminal, i uninstalled Nvidia drivers and then reinstalled them, i can get to the GUI now but i only get to see icons, there is no launch bar or... [11:12] ...the bar at the top, not sure what the problem might be, any clues? [11:13] 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] but I will try to enable hibernate mode [11:13] client: When you open the index.html it just takes you back to the login page? [11:13] 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 [11:14] yeah [11:14] 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] in my case it is a question of closing Firefox and Pidgin and so on and then shutting down [11:14] I got a normal HDD but that is also pretty fast, so I probably also would do a normal shutdown now [11:15] client: What happens when you load it with javascript disabled? [11:15] was just wondering why it happened, the old box could sit a whole day in suspend [11:15] How do I do that? mudkip908 [11:15] client: What browser are you using? [11:16] firefox [11:16] @mudkip908 [11:16] client: go to Preferences->Content and untick Enable JavaScript [11:17] how can I watch only one process on top? [11:17] it gives a blank page @ mudkip908 [11:18] top tool [11:18] angs, htop may have more features. its a hyped up top. [11:18] thanks [11:18] both the index.html files give blank pages [11:18] client: Can you zip up everything you mirrored and upload it somewhere? [11:21] thanks Dr_willis ! [11:21] :) [11:22] ok give me 2 seconds mudkip908 [11:26] hi guys, i did a software update yesterday, i am not entirely sure what was updated but it was listed as "ubuntu base" and i was requested to reboot for this update, after rebooting the GUI wouldn't load any more if i did ctrl+alt+F1 i got to the terminal, i uninstalled Nvidia drivers and then reinstalled them, i can get to the GUI now but i only get to see icons, there is no launch bar or... [11:26] ...the bar at the top, not sure what the problem might be, any clues? [11:26] !info ubuntu-base [11:26] Package ubuntu-base does not exist in raring [11:27] most likely it was a kernel update. you could tyr selecting some of the older kernels from the grub menu [11:27] also test with a newly made user. see if they have the same issue. [11:28] Dr_willis: i'll give it a go, brb [11:28] Dr_willis: btw, thanks :) [11:30] z8z:thanks for ur help finally completed..... [11:31] Dr_willis: 9p (module) is supplied by linux-image-extra-x.x.x-generic (strange name)... after loading, it's listed under /proc/filesystems.

[11:48] HypnotiX1: host is the one the VM runs on [11:49] not the one the OS runs in [11:49] sry :) [11:49] host = on, guest = in [11:49] ubuntu 13.04 [11:49] cant you access the linux file tree from the virtual machine and then copy paste?

[11:50] HypnotiX1: right, install guest additions, and go to the VM settings and set up a shared folder [11:50] i set a shared folder there [11:50] HypnotiX1: and check the box that says mount a utomatically [11:50] but i dont see it in windows [11:50] Someone is using Xubuntu 13.10 ?? [11:50] HypnotiX1: and it should just show up when you open windows explorer, down after C: [11:50] HypnotiX1: you check the box? [11:51] karoly: someone is [11:51] yes [11:51] its auto mounted [11:51] magdur: the age of your installation? [11:51] HypnotiX1: :) [11:51] 12.04 [11:51] magdur: I don't know what you're asking [11:52] my computer when start working ? [11:52] how do i share display=:1 with a windows machine over the network? [11:52] magdur: that doesn't make any sense [11:52] Is normal that i can't set the audio level with the plugin in the bar on Xubuntu 13.10 ?? i can only set the volume with the keyboard [11:52] magdur: are you asking when you installed the OS? [11:52] karoly: may just be misconfigured [11:52] there are three FloodBot1 [11:52] no how many time is it work? [11:52] :/ [11:53] And how can i configurate it properly? [11:53] magdur: is it work? [11:53] reisio: so what else can i do? [11:53] i am using 13.04 [11:53] karoly: actually I think I encountered that bug [11:53] karoly: try opening 'alsamixer' in a terminal, and using pgup/dn to change the level of Master [11:53] So it's normal and it will be fixed ?? [11:53] karoly: it may just magically start working afterwards [11:53] computer running ? [11:53] HypnotiX1: hrmm? [11:54] magdur: rephrase your question, it makes no sense [11:54] 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] magdur: "uptime"? [11:54] BTW, I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 [11:54] i set a shared folder from the VB, with auto mount on but i dont see it in windows [11:54] No reisio it doesn't work :( i can change the volume but it doesn't work... [11:54] KaitoKid: one of your ctrl/alt/shift/windows/mouse buttons are stuck, give them all a good smack [11:55] HypnotiX1: open my computer [11:55] HypnotiX1: it'll be nearer the end [11:55] definitely [11:55] HypnotiX1: and you have to install guest additions first [11:55] reisio: But I tried it with windows and it's fine [11:55] karoly: with alsamixer? [11:55] reisio: I'm only having a problem with Ubuntu :/ [11:55] KaitoKid: tried what? [11:56] 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] KaitoKid: does your keyboard have a function lock? [11:56] 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] reisio: Like a caps lock, to be similar [11:57] when is my computers uptime ? [11:57] KaitoKid: maybe you have accidentally enabled sticky keys or something [11:57] magdur: open a terminal, type 'uptime', then ENTER === kaspersky is now known as AcidDexter [11:58] karoly: so the icon is just misrepresentative? [11:58] 'cause that isn't exactly what you said earlier :) [11:59] 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 [12:00] thank to reisio [12:00] karoly: maybe ask #xubuntu [12:00] .....excuse me.. how?? xD [12:00] reisio: sry im lost :) ubuntu is my host, windows 7 is my guest [12:00] karoly: /join #xubuntu [12:01] i shared the folder rebooted and yeah nothing [12:01] /close [12:01] ok thanks [12:01] HypnotiX1: did you install guest additions? [12:02] nop [12:05] didn't I say to, like two or three times? :p [12:05] or five [12:05] i cant find the devices menu :) [12:05] im on step 6 :D [12:05] Click on Install Guest Additions… from the Devices menu, then run mount /media/cdrom. [12:06] 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] reisio: no... 7 [12:07] SuperLag: that's a freedesktop thing, Ubuntu probably simply did not remove it [12:07] SuperLag: you can however [12:07] free desktop or gnome, one or the other, or both :) [12:08] http://tombuntu.com/index.php/2008/02/13/add-your-document-templates-to-gnome/ [12:08] can you suggest best firewall for ubuntu ? [12:08] magdur: one that you use :) [12:08] magdur: as opposed to not... :) [12:09] superlag sorry i dont understand [12:09] magdur ubuntu uses iptables [12:09] they all use iptables [12:09] doesn't it come with ufw? [12:09] reisio: i think that guide is if i run ubuntu from windows [12:10] not the other way around [12:10] it's hard to find 13.10 assistance D: [12:10] magdur: I'm just saying that any firewall is better than no firewall :) [12:10] karoly: #ubuntu+1 [12:10] magdur ufw is a basic GUI, fwbuilder is more advanced [12:10] HypnotiX1: yes I said that as well [12:11] well i have ubuntu installed and im running windows in the vbox [12:11] monkeydust what is fwbuilder ? [12:11] karoly: no, it's not... not at all :) [12:11] what does bootstrapping means ? [12:11] and what is iptables ? === ubuntu is now known as Guest25105 [12:12] hey [12:12] magdur http://www.fwbuilder.org/4.0/quick_start_guide.shtml [12:12] hello everyone [12:12] good evening [12:12] would you like talk with me?

[12:19] karoly no, search startup applications from there [12:19] ah xD ok thanks [12:19] Hello [12:19] dammit i can't translate startup applications in italian DD: [12:20] Im using xubuntu with Gnome shell [12:23] 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] 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] Similar to caps/num lock [12:24] kaitokid, maybe look into your desktop shortcuts? [12:24] keyboard shortcuts* [12:24] Twenty-three: Yes, I have looked into it. But I can't find it there :/ [12:24] hi guys, are there any imap/mailservers admins around that would be keen to help me with a little authentication issue I am having, running Ubuntu Server an dVirtualmin? [12:24] maybe it's having a conflict with other programs that I'm not aware of :/ [12:25] riply: just ask your actual question. If anyone knows how to help you, they will respond [12:26] i googled trying to find how to reset unity but haven't found anything actually helpful, i found approaches that seem outdated (prior to 12.04) [12:27] jrib, thanks man, I will do [12:27] Cani reinstall the XFCE Audio Daemon ? [12:27] XFCE Volume Daemon* [12:28] Xfce [12:28] you can if you want [12:28] how ? [12:29] reisio: if that's unwelcome, my apologies.

[12:34] natix: #svn [12:35] reisio: thank you :) [12:35] natix, reisio: Their channel is #subversion [12:35] I'm configuring lightdm and I don't understand what this means if someone can please explain: "user-authority-in-system-dir = True if session authority should be in the system location" [12:35] reisio nobody on #xubuntu knows what's my problem with the volume plugin D: [12:36] karoly: give it some time, it's early [12:36] Ooook [12:36] Pici: nope [12:36] karoly: You said that you were using 13.10 in #xubuntu. 13.10 is not yet released and is likely to have problems. Also, support is in #ubuntu+1 only for that release. [12:36] reisio: really? hrm. [12:37] it's #svn [12:37] they've set +s like idiots [12:37] Ooook Pici [12:41] hello I resized my ecryptfs root partition but there is still no free space after reboot [12:41] when I do df -h [12:42] in gparted you can see it is 20GB [12:42] I'd like to apply a patch for my network adapter, but it appears to be applied on top of 3.10-rc5. This appears to be well into Saucy Salamander, but I am currently running Raring Ringtail (v 3.9.0). Am I correct in assuming I would have to upgrade to Saucy Salamander before applying this patch? Is Saucy far enough along at this point to do so? [12:42] /dev/sda1 is still only 7GB but I resized it to 20 GB from live cd and rebooted [12:42] hello friends .Do you like to talk with me [12:43] I'm adding the wine ppa with $ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-wine/ppa, yet for some reason there is no package called wine1.6 [12:43] is this normal on a 11.10?

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? [13:18] 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: I'd guess the clue there is "starting with 12.10"?

[13:35] I am running ubuntu with parallels on a mac is it the same as if I used a PC? [13:36] gizmo: same os - same experience [13:36] use shared dedicated /boot partition?

[13:36] nxis, you may not even want to bother with a /boot partition [13:36] magdur: use NoScript [13:36] ikonia: thanks [13:36] 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] how will be that ? [13:37] mhr: probably not a good option to do so, but its the same process just with the interface wlan0 included [13:37] magdur, totally will depend on what the exploit is exploiting. [13:37] 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] mhr: a lot of wlan cards won't support it though [13:37] bananapie: your mac address doesn't randomly change [13:37] bananapie: you are doing something to change it [13:38] Yes, the ubuntu is installed on a USB key, and I boot on a different computer each time. [13:38] 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] bananapie: so what's the issue then ? they are different network cards so will have different macs [13:38] azazel91: also sudo lshw -c network [13:38] bananapie: it's behaving as it's designed to do [13:38] 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] I know, but I want to change the behaviour [13:38] roopak: what did you delete and how [13:39] bananapie: well seeing as I suspect your booting from squashfs that's quite tricky [13:39] 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. [13:40] bananapie, is this a full install to the usb ? or a live-cd setup on the usb? [13:40] 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] ikonia, i am getting error -- Master 'bond0', Slave 'wlan0': Error: Enslave failed -- when doing as other interfaces. [13:40] 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] wilee-nilee: ok :) [13:40] mhr: yor card may not support it, are you trying to do trunking or active/passive [13:40] I used debootstrap to install the usb key.

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 ) [13:42] wilee-nilee: currently i am refering that link, but wanted to knwo that my config files would be preserverd or not. [13:42] i send message because i cant say that look like to you with red and i dont feel myself safe [13:42] roopak: that should have only deleted 1 file [13:42] for instance when i use windows i install kaspersky and i feel safe [13:43] roopak: actually I guess it depends what else you changed for locate to find [13:43] 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] roopak: simple - just re-install to be safe [13:44] ikonia, i dont know much about trunking or active/passive but i am using round robin mode [13:44] mhr: that's not going to work very well, even if your card supported it, which it looks like it doesn't [13:44] @dr_willis how can i tag [13:44] here irc [13:44] 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' [13:45] magdur, just by running linux instead of windows.. you are 1000x safer. :0 [13:45] ok thank you ikonia for your help [13:45] Hi! After installing and removing xen, my boot time got increased.. What can I do now? [13:45] when you response to me your nick will ve red but i dont know how can i do [13:46] magdur, time to read up on your IRC CLIENT docs.. its doing that. [13:46] philinux, TY very much, now I can install the LBP6020 too :) [13:46] I will add rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules to the network startup script [13:46] wilee-nilee: let me experiment and checkout what happends [13:46] !manual magdur [13:46] can I have more than one pre-start in an init conf script?

However, I opened the file in a live CD session and it seems to be alright...

[17:15] ses1984: its actually not, as far as i see it [17:15] i have not installed any propietory stuff... [17:16] so logstash IS in the group, but a process under that user cannot read a file. huh?

[17:24] yes, except for the part that's a for-profit company, it's an open community :p [17:24] KDE is a window manager [17:24] abc6293: unity is the "desktop environment" of main ubuntu.. kubuntu uses KDE.. its basically the desktop look and feel [17:24] vishnu_: a DE, actually :) [17:24] Anyone here using the latest ubuntu on a '10 macbook pro?

[17:42] heuwaii too! [17:43] vishnu_: doesnt matter.. the chipset matters [17:43] 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] wilee-nilee, that wasn't my intention [17:43] thanks holstein,,, what u use to connect internet [17:43] vishnu_: many devices [17:44] now [17:44] 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] I don't care what ubuntu does but misinformation helps no one.

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? [17:55] deroot, check the gnome-shell extensions site [17:56] 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] runsoniarun: if and when it's a real security concern, Ubuntu will stop making it "easy" to install [17:56] runsoniarun, The ubuntu repo has a adobe-plugin [17:57] bazhang: ... search for "hud" on the site? let me check [17:57] and IIRC it's not getting _developed_ but it is being patched for security [17:57] deroot, not hud, but something that has similar properties [17:57] for nsplugin, anyways === Sk1Special is now known as Sk1 [17:58] thanks reisio, just needed assurance, it's all good. === Sk1 is now known as Sk1Special [18:00] deroot, couple of ap[ searchers I use synapse myself [18:00] app* [18:00] bazhang: checked; nothing for Gnome 3.8!

[18:02] have* [18:02] bazhang: but it's working well for me! [18:04] synapse works like the dash if it is installed you can find it with it, if not just a dependency [18:06] 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] 2nd way: press Alt > type "page" [18:07] anyone know how to stop all running instances of an upstart-enabled process? [18:09] deroot, Ah, thats what I suspected, synapse is just a app finder so not applicable.

[18:11] :2 [18:12] 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] robertzaccour: was that to save disk space or to run faster on old hardware? [18:12] vedic: first, you should explain (shortly) what is pgbouncer:P [18:13] 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] how do you remove hibernate and suspend from the top menu bar in unity-greeter? [18:14] joshu: probably an option in the config [18:14] joshu: dpkg -L packageName | grep etc [18:14] Uh..Gdebi isn't recognizint my password... [18:14] this is so weird [18:14] daftykins: I just wanted pure Mate install withouth removing another DE and stuff that comes with it. [18:15] robertzaccour: might need gksudo or something [18:15] vedic: sudo service pgbouncer status [18:15] sudo service pgbouncer start [18:15] reisio I tried but get not results [18:16] joshu: what'd you try? [18:16] reisio what you sent me, dpkg -L unity-greeter | grep shutdown [18:16] reisio what you sent me, dpkg -L unity-greeter | grep suspend [18:16] reisio what you sent me, dpkg -L unity-greeter | grep hibernate [18:16] nothing [18:16] 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] 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] reisio: but gdebi is gui [18:17] reisio: I'm confused :-/ [18:17] nantou: yes. and only programs which honor HTTP_PROXY will actually be proxied [18:18] hello guys [18:18] hello baby [18:18] hello budy [18:18] is ethtool supposed to be bundled with ubuntu (12.x)? [18:18] a better solution would be to set up a transparent proxy [18:19] tubbo: yes: http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?searchon=contents&keywords=ethtool&mode=exactfilename&suite=precise&arch=any [18:19] why do poeple use ubuntu instead of xubuntu or lubuntu ? [18:19] because I only heard of those after i installed ubuntu and went looking for help. [18:20] well it doesn't work for me [18:20] n-iCe: they have this crazy thing called... choice [18:20] !doesn't work | tubbo [18:20] 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] Anyone know why gdebi wouldn't be accepting the correct password? [18:20] daftykins: is not supposed to work better than ubuntu? I mean lubuntu at least? faster? [18:20] i get "The program 'ethtool' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:" [18:20] how can i print all the UUIDs? [18:20] yeah i would've said that faster if my stupid shell would copy shit properly [18:20] n-iCe: well it depends what you want doesn't it [18:20] goddard: Of your disks? ls /dev/disk/by-uuid [18:20] tubbo: language please [18:21] !blkid | goddard [18:21] 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] what was the new features in ubuntu 13.04? [18:21] i don't get why i don't have this command.. [18:22] if I right-click a contact in empathy's contact list, there's an option to view contact information. upon the first click you'll be presented with an option to use local address book, and if you happen to choose it, it won't pop again, how to reset this so I can choose the online contact information instead? [18:22] tubbo: dpkg -l ethtool | tail -1 what is the output? [18:22] tubbo: most likely you don't cause you haven't installed it [18:22] jakesahir, there are package list for every desktop and the versions on the web look for yourself. [18:23] ok [18:23] ugh [18:23] i guess so but the chef recipes here would indicate that i *should* have it >:( [18:23] whatever [18:23] i installed it [18:23] tubbo, more drama please. ;( [18:24] lol sorry wilee-nilee [18:24] i have problem in my ubuntu 12.10 when i try to install any software from terminal using sudo apt-get install its just waiting at 0% not doing any thing and i am not be able to install any thing in my ubuntu [18:24] ok gdebi works fine form the terminal, but in gui it won't accept my password [18:24] jakesahir, pastebin a sudo apt-get update all the text. [18:24] any othe suggestions on how to remove suspend and hibernate from the top menu bar cog menu item? [18:25] ok [18:25] jakesahir: sounds like you have APT mirror issues. is that the PC you're online from right now? [18:25] I'm looking at my ufw firewall log to make sure my server is protected, but noticed something strange and want to know if it's ok. I have my router forwarding a port to the server, but only allowing one IP address on that port. My ufw log shows multiple addresses attempting but getting "UFW BLOCK". But one time one address got "UFW AUDIT". Does that mean ufw allowed access?

[18:29] okay gonna ask my question again, please, anyone? the right-click menu of empathy's contact list contains "contact information" item, upon the first click you'll have to choose between "online" and "use local address book", and the local address book will pop every time, what if I want to reset this option or use the online profile instead? [18:29] jakesahir, Hmm, eveything is there are you proxied? [18:30] yes i am in my college network ,wilee-nilee [18:30] Anyone know why gdebi wouldn't be accepting the correct password? [18:30] cyberoam proxy server ,wilee-nilee [18:30] jakesahir, That is probably the problem, out of my fix area though. [18:31] gdebi works fine form the terminal, but in gui it won't accept my password [18:31] any help ? :) [18:31] !grub | sahil__ [18:31] sahil__: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [18:31] my grub hav few dead links.... [18:31] sahil__, Have you run sudo update-grub lately, and what are dead links? [18:31] hi jakesahir, i am also in campus proxy i configured in my lappy... [18:32] but our admin says that there is problem in ur os...?wilee-nilee [18:32] how can i configure?kumarnew [18:33] jakesahir, I can't really say with any definite answer, sounds like a admin who does not know linux though. [18:33] jakesahir: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto#Setting_up_apt-get_to_use_a_http-proxy [18:33] i used to have multiple OS but those os are manualy rermoved(HDD partition merged/formated) [18:33] hah i had the same link 2 seconds later ^ [18:33] * daftykins high-fives mumpitzel [18:34] admins are supposed to help not blame in this situation [18:34] Hi fellow Ubuntu users -- it this an appropriate place to ask about my Xorg/unity system which I have mangled so much a can no longer login to my account? :) [18:34] !who | sahil__ [18:34] sahil__: As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [18:34] yes but our admin i think don't know about linux.. [18:34] vcryan: can u can get in recovery mode? [18:35] jakesahir, May be when you figure it out show them. ;) [18:35] i don't have any proxy server address or port..mumpitzel [18:35] canonical should add a system restore feature to ubuntu [18:35] guest18172, Tons of ways of doing it, linux is about knowing what you are doing. [18:35] ya i try my best ... wilee-nilee thanks === iveand is now known as rik-shaw [18:36] yeah, but ubuntu is about making linux such that you don't have to know what you are doing :p [18:36] sahil__: If you read about grub in the previous links you will find something about os-prober... [18:36] guest18172, hardly, that is a projection [18:36] _ i think i got it it was perhaps sudo update grub :command,all i wanted to regenerate the entries...anyway, how to remove old kernals safely [18:36] vcryan: if u r sure u tipe in correct login and password then try to delete ~/.Xauthority file and relogin after [18:37] jakesahir, you must have it configured in your web browser, if you are using internet behind proxy..? [18:37] sahil__, The grub-update fixed it? [18:37] guest18172: haha, setup.sh scripts are basically our system restore. back that data up to the cloud! [18:37] yes :) [18:37] I want a gui interface based system restore :) [18:37] guest18172 don't hesitate to publish constructive ideas in a blog [18:37] hi [18:37] sahil__, Cool, enjoy. ;) [18:37] Anyone have personal websites to show off? [18:37] sahil__: if you run uname -r then you'll see which kernel you're on right now [18:38] but how can i find address and port???kumarnew [18:38] I am using 64 bit ubuntu with 4 gb ram, but "free g" says 3 gb is there. why is that? [18:38] !ot | frewsxcv [18:38] 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] 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] sahil__: then you would need to uninstall previous versions of the linux-header-... and linux-image-... [18:38] thnx :), well i have multiple entries like "previous linux versions" i want to remove those... [18:39] guest18172, You are welcome to write one and submit it, you would have many thanks. ;) [18:39] can anyone know which port ubuntu uses for downloading software that may be blocked by our admin?? wilee-nilee [18:39] sahil__: ubuntu-tweak can help you ;) [18:39] * Quest waits [18:39] 3.2.0-38 pae... [18:39] i gota few x.x.32 [18:40] 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] I just installed Blueman, and I still cannot pair up my bluetooth speakers [18:40] 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] I could draw the graphics for it in ms paint [18:40] :) [18:40] Is there something that I need to set to get this to work? [18:40] *janitor [18:40] jakesahir, apt-get uses http or ftp as given in sources.list file, i think [18:40] netlar: have you tried pairing them? [18:40] 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) [18:41] jose: yes [18:41] last time ubuntu tweaked messed my sysytem..well i was on Natty that time [18:41] netlar: does it give any error or something? [18:41] 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] jose: They just do not show up [18:41] ok than how our admin blocked this because my net is working smoothly??kumarnew [18:41] Quest: looks like we have similar problems [18:41] netlar: don't know what may be happening, sorry [18:42] 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] jose: It is ok, no one else does ;) [18:42] so other then 3.3.38,watever comes will be removed right/ [18:42] ? [18:42] marianne, i found a solution [18:42] jakesahir, you need to know your campus proxy server name/address and port number and if applicable proxy username/password [18:42] Quest: share please! [18:42] marianne, what command do you give to check ram, and how muchram do you have? [18:42] I thought installing blueman might help [18:42] Hi all [18:43] jakesahir, you must have configured it in your browser check your browser preferences or options something... [18:43] Quest: to check - 'free -m' just installed 4GBs [18:43] 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] 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] is it possible to change the reso of plymouth? [18:43] Quest: yeah I'm 64 bit [18:43] sahil__, Not something I would know. [18:43] resolution* [18:43] marianne, see what is under "total" [18:44] Quest: showing 1938 under total [18:44] marianne, hm then I wont be able to help further. [18:44] jakesahir, For the record beyond figuring out you are proxied I'm lost. ;) [18:44] marianne, make sure its shown 4 g in bios before asking anyone else [18:45] marianne: how do u know u got 4Gigs? [18:45] * wilee-nilee only knows what I have broken [18:45] 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] tozen: just bought it and installed it about 2 hours ago [18:46] ok thnx :) [18:46] Hi [18:46] tozen: it's what the package said it should be.... did I get hosed? [18:46] a [18:46] tab is used for autocomplete...learnt a new thing ;) [18:46] sahil__, You can tab complete nicks it might be easier [18:46] sahil__: but you might want to keep the one of the old kernels [18:46] marianne: i would redoot with choosing memtest option, them u can see what's wrong [18:46] hello all... <<< nubie here ^_^ [18:47] *then [18:47] sahil__: just in case the latest isn't working properly [18:47] ok... [18:47] i tried that but when i set proxy my internet is not working??wilee-nilee [18:47] thanks guys I'll do that...back in a while [18:47] Lustvania: hi, aren't we all noobs in some way *philosophical sigh* [18:48] marianne: perhaps one of them is faulty [18:48] huckleberry: yes *master philosophical sigh* [18:48] :p [18:48] huckleberry_: i mean.. i really nubie ^_^ <<< getting the first know [18:48] sahil__: also, as you'll see when using tab, there are more files, like 4 of them for each version but you only need to specify those i wrote down since the autoremove command will take care of the rest. [18:48] hellos [18:49] i tried that but when i set proxy my internet is not working??_wilee-nilee === erry__ is now known as erry [18:49] wanna learn bout ubuntu server [18:49] any good messenger for lan ??

[19:07] 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] ariel`: Are you sure it is running? [19:07] ariel: pkill -9 nm-applet && nm-applet & [19:07] !chown | Shadowandlight [19:07] 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] Shadowandlight: chown user /var/www/smf [19:08] sudo chmod 777 -R /var/www worked [19:08] it aint running i cant connect my laptop to the internet [19:08] is that ok to use? sudo chmod 777 -R /var/www [19:08] 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] Shadowandlight: I wouldn't. [19:08] usr13: have a clue on how to? [19:08] Shadowandlight: that grants read/write/execute permissions to everyone on that folder. [19:08] jose: By manually, I mean that you dont have a dhcp server involved in ad-hoc connections. [19:08] Shadowandlight: you shouldn't do that [19:09] i want to limit it to "me" [19:09] so use chown "user" /var/www ? [19:09] usr13: oh, didn't know about the DHCP part. will check and see what I can do. Thanks a bunch! [19:09] jose: I suppose the easiest way is to set up a script. You caould just do it in /etc/rc.local [19:09] Shadowandlight: usually, you make an own user for the webserver - that's what i heard to be best practice [19:10] Shadowandlight: will the server be accessbile from internet? [19:10] Shadowandlight: Ideally you should make an FTP user and run "chown -R ftpuser /var/www/sfw [19:10] jose: What ever commands you use to set it up just place in the /etc/rc.local file. [19:10] ok.. yes it will be internet accessible eventually varlogtim & huckleberry [19:10] <_kaizda> Ubuntu Sucks! [19:10] 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] so i used sudo chown eveserver -R /var/www [19:10] "eveserver" is the user [19:11] Shadowandlight, is there any particular reason you want to use FTP? [19:11] 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] for SMF to change permissions on the file [19:11] _kaizda: Would you care to elaborate? [19:11] 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] Shadowandlight: To me, it is simplier and easier that way. [19:11] after SMF installs i think i can turn FTP off [19:12] Shadowandlight: This site has pretty decent tutorials: http://www.howtoforge.com/howtos/ftp [19:12] <_kaizda> X-Sleepe-X: [19:13] 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] window managers are *** and the system is lagging as hell [19:13] aaron_: aaron_ http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/pureubuntuprecise [19:13] <_kaizda> X_Sleepe_X: it is nice though [19:13] huckleberry, yeah the thing is i see the DE ubuntu and gnome [19:14] aaron_: so? [19:14] 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] huckleberry, and i had different shells and windows managers [19:14] huckleberry, but its lagging [19:14] usr13: that's basically it, thank you! :) [19:14] huckleberry, and the windows are blinking sometimes [19:14] Ok [19:14] aaron_, What have you done in detail please, and what is the end goal? [19:15] if you have 2 network cards how can you set what card shal be defult card ? [19:15] jose: But beware, you should only have one DHCP server per network, (or subnet). [19:15] vidarne: there is no default card [19:15] 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] usr13: how is so? [19:15] vidarne, yes [19:16] jose: You mean why only one DHPC server? [19:16] jose: what might happen if you had two DHCP servers responding to requests? [19:16] vidarne: you connect a network cable and that's it :) do you have a specific problem? [19:16] oh, I got you now [19:16] vidarne, my bad you're asking how [19:16] 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] 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 [19:17] it depends on the setup really there a re a few ways to do it [19:17] vidarne: teamspeak's config will likely have a way to choose which IP it listens on [19:17] 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 [19:18] 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] wilee-nilee, also i installed the gnome DE with sudo apt-get install gnome [19:18] vidarne: Change your network configuration so that your network interfaces use proper IP addresses. [19:18] wilee-nilee, the things are *** [19:18] jose: You have a wireless router. Right? [19:18] usr13: I do [19:18] wilee-nilee, also the thing is that i don't get you [19:18] aaron_, If this " ***" is a blocked swear word stop that. === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk [19:18] aaron_: just before you start reomving all kind of stuff- do you use wiki for internet connection, or lan cable? [19:18] does upstart have a general config? [19:19] jose: What is the make and model? [19:19] aaron_, You might just reinstall then. [19:19] aaron_: wifi i wanted to say [19:19] i don't try a word i am just writing *** [19:19] 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] the stars [19:19] 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] huckleberry, lan cable === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [19:19] aaron_, drama for me gets a free ignore. [19:19] 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). [19:20] wilee-nilee, this is for sure not a drama i will definitely fix it [19:20] wilee-nilee, i just like joking around sometimes [19:20] usr13: but when I move I won't have the same files [19:20] 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] jose: Find out if your router is dd-wrt compatable, if it is, install it and you will have the capabilities you want. [19:21] ok, thanks! [19:21] jose: Files? What files? [19:21] usr13: the ones I'll be sharing on my webserver :) [19:21] aaron_: aaron_ what you can do is to remove gnome [19:21] aaron_: and the do "apt-get autoremove" [19:22] huckleberry, but i need 1 DE right? [19:22] aaron_: autoremove will remove packeages that were installed because they were needed for an other package [19:22] aaron_: no [19:22] huckleberry, i don't get it [19:22] jose: That's ok.. What you need is a wifi router that has the capabilites for segregating network connections. [19:23] 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] usr13: got it. Thanks! [19:23] huckleberry, i am confused i also install the gnome shell [19:23] aaron_: ok, let us clarify things: you want to go back to normal, right? [19:23] jose: http://www.dd-wrt.com/wiki/index.php/Tutorials [19:24] huckleberry, yes [19:25] if you ahve 2 lan cards is it only one of them so shall have gatway in /etc/network/interface file ? [19:26] 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 [19:27] huckleberry, i will go with number 1 [19:27] :D [19:27] aaron_: ok :) [19:27] huckleberry, i've experienced pain [19:27] pain is fun [19:27] yeah, you can do a minimal install. best way to go [19:27] vidarne: Please restate your question. [19:27] i laugh when i pain [19:27] pain is funny [19:28] i want to reinstall the gnome DE [19:28] aaron_: to be honest [19:28] how can i do that [19:28] aaron_: since you choose to reinstall you have nothing to lose [19:29] gnome-shell? good question, whats the meta-package for that? [19:29] aaron_: take 30 minutes and reomve all kind of packeges, maybe you are lucky :P [19:29] 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] aaron_: so there is at least some fun it ;) [19:29] !nounity [19:29] 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 [19:30] I have ubuntu 12.04.2 with (as far as I know) normal settings. But one thing in my sources doesn't update, here's a paste: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5933858/. I checked around and couldn't find out how to fix that, none of the things I found seemed to apply. anyone got a tip? [19:30] vidarne: What is your end goal? (What exactly are you trying to do?) [19:31] its only for trying to understand bether networking atm, before i start to try seting up one lan card 192.168.1.106 to go throu a vpn (tun0) [19:33] honestly: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/apt/+bug/940825 [19:33] Ubuntu bug 940825 in apt (Ubuntu) "apt-get update reporting "not acceptable"" [Undecided,Confirmed] [19:33] vidarne: i think NIC bonding would work differently than just having two interfaces on the same network [19:35] usr13: I get a 404, not 406, so I don't think that's it [19:35] NIC bonding has two modes in Linux. failover and active/passive [19:36] Hello world!

Like /usr/local/bin /usr/local/sbin ... and so on [19:59] jjavaholic, does it show in sudo fdisk -l [19:59] ikonia thank you for the tip [19:59] ikonia: new version of jedit [20:00] motaka2: where did you get it from ? what's wrong with the version in the ubuntu repo ? [20:00] ikonia: I got the jar file from jedit website [20:00] it doesn't show up in fdisk -l [20:00] 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] motaka2: try finding it in the repo first by running: apt-cache search jedit [20:01] 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] lsusb: http://pastebin.com/5LpjDzE4 [20:01] motaka2, its download page offers a debian package. download that and double click on it [20:01] wilee-nilee: I dont know what a repository is, Once I intalled gedit via sudo apt-get install gedit and it was version 4 and I need version five so I downloaded the jar file from it's website [20:02] motaka2, gedit or jedit? [20:02] motaka2, All or most OS call a repository for updates and installs [20:02] motaka2: which version of ubuntu are you running? [20:03] motaka2: in 13.04 jedit is 5.0 i think [20:03] and ls /dev/ | grep sd results in this: http://pastebin.com/0MD4FUs9 [20:03] motaka2, just download the debian file. easier than using the java based installer [20:03] three partitions on main OS drive. sda [20:04] kostkon: I cant find the debian file [20:05] kostkon: jEdit [20:05] X-Sleepy-X: I am using 12.04 [20:06] motaka2, here's the file http://sourceforge.net/projects/jedit/files/jedit/5.1.0/jedit_5.1.0_all.deb/download [20:06] motaka2, from here http://jedit.org/index.php?page=download&platform=unix#option_two [20:06] i am trying to change apache document route for default to /home/goddard/Web/ [20:06] motaka2: what does "apt-cache policy jedit" give you?

[20:22] X-Sleepy-X: Thanks for your soloution [20:22] it sees to be the best [20:22] motaka2: yw [20:23] motaka2: What version? [20:23] post results from top -bn1 |head -n 5 [20:23] motaka: "top -bn1 |head -n 5" [20:24] motaka2: perhaps you need to install new graphic drivers in order to make it go faster? what graphics card do you have? [20:25] Or use LXDE instead of unity [20:25] i tried the userdir module [20:25] i still get error 403 [20:25] Hey guys - Not ubuntu specific - But should my program write verbose output to STDERR or STDOUT? [20:25] My vote is STDERR [20:26] varlogtim: May I ask why? (I'm fine with either - just want to know for future ref. on the convention) === tikibortxu is now known as triii [20:26] 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] varlogtim: Makes perfect sense, thanks :-) [20:27] Imagine this... for a real world example... [20:27] X-Sleepy-X: yes I think it has something to do with graphics, my graphic card is xfx 9 series [20:27] stderr is for errors. [20:27] verbose should be to stdout, and optional. [20:28] Logging should be to a file, progress and verbosity should be to stderr. varlogtim hit the nail on the head. [20:29] 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] It is nice to be able to do this: ./script > output_file 2>verbose_data.log [20:29] adding a verbosity option should not, for example, change pipeline behaviour. [20:29] Anyone running ubuntu 13.10 have an issue with no bass in their audio? [20:30] 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... [20:31] motaka2: if you run: software-properties-gtk the go to "Additional Drivers". Do you see a list of drivers to choose from? [20:31] Also, lots of apps print to stderr --- ssh for example, (I beleive) prints the password: prompt to stderr [20:31] varlogtim: if you are using passwords with ssh, it is an err ;) [20:31] X-Sleepy-X: Should I run that in terminal [20:31] ? [20:31] !13.10 | pbuckley [20:31] motaka2: terminal or alt-f2 [20:31] pbuckley: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu. Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 [20:32] 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] X-Sleepy-X: I got some output in terminal and a window poped up [20:33] motaka2: Open the tab in that window called "Additional Drivers" [20:33] X-Sleepy-X: THERE IS NO THAB WITH THE CAPTION YOU SAID [20:34] motaka2: We can read lowercase too :) [20:34] motaka2: Sorry, my bad. I forgot that you use 12.04 [20:34] X-Sleepy-X: that's kind of you to care for my issue [20:36] motaka2: I can't recall excatly where you find it in 12.04 but perhaps you can run jockey-gtk [20:37] i seem to have broken the display drivers for my laptop's own dispolay driver while using an external video card is there a way i can make ubuntu redetect it and auto install the driver for it [20:38] exit [20:38] motaka2: try searching in the dash for additional drivers [20:38] randomaussie: Which model of external video card? [20:38] i ran jokey.. and I see additional drivers [20:38] i'm just talking about hte screens... [20:39] the built in one wont go above 640x480 [20:40] motaka2: you could try to install the latest version of a display driver from there if there are any display drivers showing... [20:40] there are some showing and the recommended one hase a green blob on the left [20:41] How rolling releases for Ubuntu been shelved? [20:41] motaka2: i believe the green blob are for the activated ones [20:42] how can i change the owner of a ssytem link? [20:42] goddard: system link ? [20:43] goddard: Whats a system link? [20:43] symlink :) [20:43] !chown | goddard [20:43] goddard: An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [20:43] symbolic link [20:43] Then the answer is "no". [20:43] you don't change symlinks [20:43] you change the target [20:44] Changing the owner of a symlink is pointless, since the permissions are 0777 - always. [20:44] yep, the permission of the symlink is meaningless, its the target that matters. [20:45] 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] X-Sleepy-X: yes thats it so I have a driver installed and yet it runs slow? [20:45] zeest: Alt+Tab ? [20:45] zeest: you mean left [20:45] auronandace: Yes, sorry [20:45] that's right... [20:46] X-Sleepy-X: No showing up there either :/ [20:46] motaka2: you probably need to reboot or log out and back in again === nighix is now known as nigh-ix [20:48] zeest: if you open gnome-system-monitor can you find the program running there? [20:49] X-Sleepy-X: Yes [20:49] X-Sleepy-X: I killed it and opened again, now it is running fine, and is in the sidebar. Thanks [20:49] What is that bar called BTW? [20:50] zeest: :) [20:50] the unity dock? [20:50] syn-ack: Probably, thanks [20:50] What's a good network manager for Ubuntu? [20:50] hi all, my startup applications as defined in gnome-session-properties don't seem to work (they work in kde and xfce) [20:50] robertzaccour: The already installed Network-Manager.

[20:53] I know its installed [20:53] ok while running gnome-3, i have the startup applications set to start guake when i log in [20:54] robertzaccour: this is because you are doing a minimal install [20:54] however this doesn't happen in gnome3 but works in other environments [20:54] robertzaccour: this is why I suggested doing a standard install and removing what you don't need [20:54] ikonia: any recommendations for a network manager? [20:54] the mate PPA will not have all the dependencies [20:54] robertzaccour: network-manager is the standard one [20:54] ikonia: I'm learning, I'll feel ahead once I got it all here :) [20:54] robertzaccour: You already asked that and you already got your answers :) [20:55] bekks: And I already said it says not available [20:55] robertzaccour: you're not really learning though, you're making it hard for yourself [20:55] ikonia: where are all the network dependencies? [20:55] robertzaccour: what do you mean "where are they" ? [20:55] ikonia: Yes, I'm learning. I've learned a lot today. Who are you to assume what I haven't learned? [20:56] ikonia: you said the dependencies aren't there. Where are they? [20:56] robertzaccour: because you're asking the same style questions from earlier and hitting the issues I warned you of [20:56] bertogatti: hang on, i got it working but im looking for how i did it [20:56] robertzaccour: so I can only assume you've not grasped/learnt what I was trying to explain earlier [20:56] ikonia: And I'm learning in the process [20:56] S-Sleepy-X: thanks [20:57] ikonia: I have wired internet working just fine, I just need to install an app so I can set up my router. [20:57] robertzaccour: what has your router got to do with an application ?? it's an external device [20:57] robertzaccour: You dont need any app to setup your router besides a browser to access the web interface, [20:58] ikonia: I just need a network app that will load. recommend any besides network-manager and wicd? [20:58] robertzaccour: you don't need a network app to fix your router [20:58] im trying to find a string of *cnn.com/????/* can anyone help me correct for the proper regex? [20:58] robertzaccour: You nheed a browser. [20:58] ikonia: My router is fine, I just need to connect to it. [20:58] hey all. [20:58] bekks: I have a browser [20:58] robertzaccour: you said you have, you've got wired networking working [20:58] robertzaccour: so you're already connected [20:58] I can't find grub.cfg in my boot directory. Any idea where it might be? [20:58] ikonia: wired yes, but I need to set up wireless [20:59] its a UEFI install [20:59] robertzaccour: well, I'd use network-manager, is the standard, [20:59] ikonia: correction: I need a drop-down list to select my router. [20:59] if that changes anything. [20:59] ikonia: network-manager network-manager: command not found [20:59] robertzaccour: it's not installed then [21:00] ikonia: its already the newest version [21:00] according to terminal [21:00] robertzaccour: how can it be, if it's not found [21:00] ikonia: I dunno, but that's what its telling me [21:01] robertzaccour: what's telling you ? [21:01] ikonia: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5934135/ [21:02] ahhh I see you're trying to laynch it from the command line [21:02] bertogatti: i believe i did something like this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/136559/guake-doesnt-start-when-session-starts [21:02] ikonia: I'm installing network-config to see how it goes [21:02] robertzaccour: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager [21:02] X-Sleepy-X: I'll check it out thank a lot [21:04] bertogatti: Also, I changed the line static into north in this file /usr/share/guake/guake.glade [21:04] robertzaccour is this useful https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkManager [21:04] so, i'm trying to install ubuntu 13.04 in my wife's pc from an usb. I'm getting a "Kernel panic - not syncing: no init found. Try passing init=option to kernel." every time i try booting from the usb. I pressed tab for init options and it shows "/casper/vmlinuz file=/cdrom/pressed/ubuntu.seed ..." any idea or tips? [21:05] X-Sleepy-X: it works [21:05] bertogatti: Also, I changed the line static into north in this file /usr/share/guake/guake.glade [21:05] islon: how did you make the flash drive? [21:06] bertogatti: That will fix the gape in the top [21:06] did you make the install usb on a linux system.... === maxx is now known as Guest57743 [21:07] daftykins: i downloaded a usb maker from pendrivelinux.com for windows [21:07] islon: How did you create the usb? [21:07] thanks ikonia [21:07] islon: for what? [21:07] daftykins: clicked usb-creators -> liveusb install [21:08] 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] where is the config file that store startup applications set by System > Preference > Startup Applications, [21:08] still not coming up :( [21:08] yeah, dd ftw, it's just trickier :p [21:08] islon: can you verify your image download by hashing it? could be worth wiping the drive then giving it another try [21:08] which is funny, you'd think those creators would just be dd frontends :p [21:08] stree: what repo are you using [21:08] X-Sleepy-X: all good now, saves me the trouble of manually opening every time [21:09] bertogatti: :) [21:09] daftykins: hmm indeed should have checked the hash, will reboot on windows and do that and maybe download some other pendrive creator [21:10] 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] anyone know how i could extra all the data off gb filesystem ot a live cd? [21:10] its weird that network manager still isn't opening. [21:10] rodrigo91: eh? [21:10] extract* [21:11] how could i extract all my data from one hard drive to put on a live cd [21:11] islon: pendrivelinux.com 's 'universal usb installer' might be ok [21:11] network-manager and wicd won't open :( [21:11] rodrigo91: what for [21:11] how can i add more space to the live cd [21:11] rodrigo91: is it a USB? [21:12] rodrigo91: You cant add more space to a live cd. [21:12] so what do i do [21:12] but you can build your own live cd [21:12] and put the content you want on it [21:12] i aint got a a usb [21:12] anyone know of any bugs with granule .. it just closes for no reason when i try to load a deck...no error anywhere..not sure why [21:12] daftykins: yeah that's what i normally use, i think she downloaded the first exe she saw that made sense... [21:12] rodrigo91: Just tell us about your actual problem. [21:12] probably more than you really want to do - [21:13] sere: not even if you start it from the terminal? [21:13] its started with network manager but i cant fix that [21:13] I can't open network-manager or wicd. Any suggestions? [21:13] X-Sleepy-X: tried that... but when it closes it logs me out of X [21:13] !details | rodrigo91 [21:13] rodrigo91: Please give us full details.

[21:48] mojtaba: that are no headers for your kernel. so install "linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic" [21:48] 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] k1l: could you please give me the command to install the header?

[22:10] 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] w4pm: you get security release "fixes" and updates.. to the current system [22:11] w4pm: you can always build your own verions of whatever you like.. or try a PPA [22:11] holstein: thats my point, why have a package manager if i have to manually install all my packages [22:11] thats why im complaining :P [22:11] w4pm: the package manager just does that friend.. manages packages.. you are trying to complain about the sources not containing something you want [22:12] im trying to copy a partition to a new partition would that work [22:12] hm well whose responsibility is it to update sources? mine or the software creators or ubuntu.. [22:12] 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] w4pm: the sources *are* updated [22:12] well like in the case of vagrant, who should be updating the vagrant source? [22:12] to be more recent [22:12] instead of 1.0.1 [22:13] 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] i did sudo apt-get install update and its still 1.0.1 [22:13] 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] 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 [22:14] i see, so i need to look for PPAs [22:14] to supplement the released sources [22:14] 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 [22:15] holstein: what is the role of package manager in setting up a system then? [22:15] to maintain lower-level dependencies with libraries that dont change as often? [22:15] if, at the top level, i'm installing what i want manually [22:15] w4pm: to manage packages [22:15] holstein forgot it yeah im trying toback up my drive [22:16] so where do i start [22:16] 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] yeah thats what i want to do [22:16] but its outdated :P [22:16] holstein: Hi again. I run the command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r), but it gives me: "E: Unable to locate package linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic [22:16] E: Couldn't find any package by regex 'linux-headers-3.5.0-28-generic'" [22:16] w4pm: its up to date, according to the version you have chosen to run [22:17] w4pm: you are always welcome to build your own version of whatever [22:17] hmm why lock down software versions to a specific linux distro [22:17] !latest | w4pm [22:17] w4pm: Packages in Ubuntu may not be the latest. Ubuntu aims for stability, so "latest" may not be a good idea. Post-release updates are only considered if they are fixes for security vulnerabilities, high impact bug fixes, or unintrusive bug fixes with substantial benefit. See also !backports, !sru, and !ppa. [22:17] w4pm: its not a lock down, friend [22:17] i see [22:17] w4pm: its the alternative ro a rolling release.. both have pro's and con's [22:18] holstein: Hi again. I run the command: sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(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] yeah im trying to get a picture of the psychology behind this, that helps thanks [22:18] holstein how do i bavkup my drive to go back to ubuntu 10.04 [22:18] mojtaba: yes, i see that, please relax [22:18] did something change with the updates recently? now on my boxen I get 404 errors when I am trying to apt-get update [22:18] mojtaba: run "sudo apt-get update" and share errors via pastebin [22:18] holstein: sorry [22:18] I've gathered this is because of EOL of the release [22:18] 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] is there a way to upgrade my release to a supported version without reinstalling from scratch? [22:19] benkillin, Might you share your release? [22:19] w4pm: if you want the latest and greatest, that needs to be "maintained".. and you are welcome to do so [22:19] holstein: It gave no error.

I can access them during update. [22:39] mojtaba: do you have a ppa added?

[22:39] mojtaba: confirm if you are, or not.. that can be breaking it [22:40] mojtaba: i would look at my sources [22:40] holstein: How should I look at the sources?

[22:52] Wox, Not really any recomendation other than big enough for the OS, what is your goal here. [22:52] and ext4 generally [22:52] holstein, i found no fstab in /etc [22:52] holstein, only mtab [22:53] 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 [22:54] wilee nilee pm me i really need your guidance [22:55] 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] Is it possible to tell networkmanager to do an "iwconfig wlan0 rate 54M" after connecting to a wireless network? [22:55] ppl any comment? [22:55] rodrigo91, I don't do PM's [22:56] f00bar80: hi [22:56] reisio, hey [22:56] 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] 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. [22:57] so can you tell me step by step how to backup my system [22:57] reisio, as well i found no fstab in /etc [22:57] wilee-nilee: i have heard that it also good if the system crushed!? [22:57] f00bar80: are your partitions mounted? [22:57] 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 === gregor_ is now known as Lightingblade [22:58] Wox, A seperate home? I have never had a crash in 6 years but I follow some parameters, my nick is a joke. [22:58] yes [22:59] how do i downalod wmere or virual box ? [22:59] Wox, I suppose so best insurance on a crash is an image/clone and backups. [22:59] wilee-nilee: you just want everyone to say "i did it wilee-nilee " [22:59] Lightingblade, its in the software center [22:59] reisio, proc/partitions list my disk as sda sda1 sda2 ,, etc [22:59] virtualbox is [22:59] f00bar80: uhuh, are they mounted? 'mount' [22:59] is it free ? [22:59] daftykins, Yah sure you betcha. ;) [22:59] yes [22:59] Lightingblade, [23:00] wilee nilee: i tried that but it cant [23:00] rodrigo91, tried what? [23:01] trying to copy the partition it just stays the same [23:01] reisio, mount shows udev proc, rootfs tmpfs ,, seems no disk are mounted [23:01] rodrigo91, what stays the same? [23:01] 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] the quanitty its just one wuatity [23:02] quatity [23:02] wilee-nilee: someone else told me to use root only and backup [23:02] 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] 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. [23:03] same with clonezilla [23:03] is clonezilla available for ubuntu 10.04 [23:03] 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 [23:04] 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] rodrigo91, It is not a mirror image other than as data. [23:04] its a clone [23:05] darn im strewed i dont got a ush or cd [23:05] rodrigo91, Is it a big hurry, having the correct tools makes things easier and less likely to be a failure. [23:06] reisio, also there's nt /mnt directory [23:07] reisio, blkid shows the 2 sda1 and sda5 , sda5 is the swap and sda1 is the ext4 [23:08] Wox, Not sure what root only is, I think they meant one partition. [23:08] can i just make a new partition then extract the other partition from that partition [23:08] dose anyone know a good site to downlaod oprating systems on ? [23:08] Lightingblade, torrents [23:08] rodrigo91, gparted will if the second partition is equal or larger in size [23:08] wilee-nilee: only root partition.. like / [23:09] Wox, ubuntu does not run in root / only is the mount for a single partition, the word root here is not exactly accurate. [23:10] well the curruped one is 168.24 and the free space is 121.40 [23:10] rodrigo91, That is why you can't use gparted. [23:10] or clonezilla [23:10] so it has to be more [23:10] rodrigo91, equal or more === kimir is now known as mislav [23:11] i already deleted a couple of used files both totaling 40 gb is that enough [23:11] wilee-nilee: ok but only one partition and backup.. told a guy to me [23:11] other* [23:12] but wont torrent slow down your internet conection if ur going to download a oprating system ? [23:12] 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] Lightingblade, its better if you have a high speed internet [23:13] ah ok im just affried it will wreck my conection for a norma home intenret conection [23:13] Lightingblade, torrents have limitations in speed, I would wager your throttled anyway, do you even know the max speed? [23:13] ^^ [23:14] no im new to this ^-^ il find out ! [23:14] Lightingblade, You go there. ;) [23:14] Lightingblade, i have done it many times, just saying :) [23:15] I wonder how I can check which port is on which switch on a dell 9155 [23:15] 1955 [23:15] you v=can control the speed from the torrent app [23:15] can* [23:15] is there a website where u can cheack ur intenret speed? [23:15] Lightingblade, just google it [23:15] ah [23:15] google speed test first link [23:15] :) [23:15] Lightingblade, on the web what is my speed is a good search [23:15] yep [23:15] ty [23:16] hello anybody there can help? [23:16] Lightingblade, i use this http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ [23:17] what is a good speed to have ?

[23:19] ah [23:20] ppl any help [23:21] Lightingblade, what works for me with a 25mb connection is limiting it to about 1-1.5mbs top download speed and my internet speed is still sufficient for video streaming and such [23:21] f00bar80: what's the problem?

[23:29] in xchat-view-channel switcher-tabs Lightingblade [23:29] f00bar80: you can still use more [23:29] ikonia, more always displayed the file's tail [23:30] f00bar80: it should display the start [23:30] ikonia, i have no cd in this atom notebook [23:30] Lightingblade, or if you use pidgin you wont have to worry about the tabs [23:30] ikonia, let me try again [23:31] I have the source of a c library (in my case portaudio) and would like to include the headers; what is the cleanest/best way to do that? [23:31] ikonia, no using more, always shows the file's tail [23:31] but i just see the ubuntu room and no other like when i first joined i saw other room too? === scott is now known as Guest21228 [23:31] copy-pasting into usr seems dangerous, and leaving somewhere in the file tree and changing the path variable seems not secure either [23:31] Lightingblade, change the view to tabs instead of tree view [23:31] You will have to enable the component called 'universe', how do you enable? [23:31] is there anything like make install which automatically puts the files in the right places? [23:31] in xchat [23:31] ikonia, i think in all cases i'll not be able to modify the grub.cfg from the buxybox [23:32] f00bar80: should be able to [23:32] ikonia, how ..?!! [23:32] f00bar80: first check it has the wrong uuid [23:33] AH! thx ubuntu for your help. i have found the issue. i didnt restart apache after i changed the max file size upload :P [23:33] acidrain, cool :) [23:33] ikonia, how , i mentioned that more always shows the file's tail [23:33] what is a normal connection range for a cardbus wifi? [23:33] f00bar80: it shoulnd't do that [23:33] what tasps do you mean ? [23:34] f00bar80: I suggest booting from teh livd usb to make it easy for you [23:34] Lightingblade, you using xchat? [23:34] ikonia, :( :) ... that;s what happened [23:34] yeah [23:34] gethenian: that is an impossible question [23:34] what is usual? [23:34] gethenian: there is no such thing as "usual" [23:35] is getting only 1 megabit at 10 feet (3 meters), poor reception? [23:35] goto the top of xchat and choose view-channel switcher then choose tabs [23:35] Lightingblade, [23:36] ikonia, k let me try [23:36] hello, i need the name of a good and easy daemon monitor. I want to know if a daemon on my server get down. Suggestions? [23:37] I'm on 13.04 on a Chromebook, but I can't seem to connect to any wireless from the commandline; lines like 'iwconfig mlan0 essid NETGEAR' are returning silently, but iwconfig is never showing me as associated and so dhclient can't get an address [23:37] would do this graphically but cannot make X start without some packages missed in the installation [23:38] you did a desktop install.? [23:39] dr_willis: It's xubuntu-desktop, I believe, but the issue is with some drivers that my hardware configuration requires. [23:39] ah finally got it the options menu at the top was hiden with the taps on normal view so i maximixed the window and it came back agen [23:41] I suppose I can look at using NetworkManager's commandline tools [23:43] can anybody tell me where does the deleted items of the live cd go i cant seem to find it anywhere in my computer [23:44] azazel91, is there a trash bin in your home folder? [23:45] no why [23:46] dadalion do you mean left hand panel then yes === sam113101 is now known as sam113101_afk === sam113101_afk is now known as sam113101 [23:50] okay, NetworkManager apparently is usable from the commandline and actually got me an address despite my iwconfig commands not working [23:50] woot [23:50] Hello, I wrote a shell script and changed /etc/passwd to execute this instead of /bin/bash and it works when I ssh into the machine. But now when I try to scp it gives me an error :( [23:50] it says: 2013/07/31 23:41:21 Impossible to monitor size on non-tty [23:50] any idea? [23:51] Hey hodapp [23:51] vieira: sftp instead? === Guest33269 is now known as whoever [23:51] hodapp NetworkManager is usuable on command line, apt-get install nmcli === whoever is now known as Guest32443 [23:52] vieira: or you could force the execution of that script in your ssh config instead of replacing your login shell [23:52] varlogtim: err, apt-get does me no good when I've no Internet access on here. [23:53] varlogtim: also, as I just said, I was able to use it to get an address [23:53] hodapp Oh... My bad... I am on this boring conference call ... Just popped in and thought I would add some non-knowledge [23:54] :) [23:54] ikonia, hey in grub.cfg that's what i found set root='(hd0,1)' search --no-floppy --fs-uuid --set "my sda1 uuid" which i got from blkid [23:55] honestly: sftp user@host does not give any error but does nothing [23:55] honestly: I write pwd, for example, nothing happens [23:55] honestly: or even help... [23:55] weird [23:55] oi [23:55] looks like replacing your shell by a script was a bad idea >_> [23:56] como?? [23:56] honestly: can only access via ssh, I don't understand what I have to change to not break scp [23:56] fabrina, English?

Para a comunidade local portuguêsa, use #ubuntu-pt. Obrigada. [23:56] fabrina^^^^^ [23:56] ola [23:57] ;() [23:57] ;) [23:57] :)) [23:57] fale me portugues [23:57] honestly: I think it has something to do with tty and non-tty but not sure... [23:57] vieira: I think it has something to do with you not having a login shell anymore [23:57] fabrina: faça /join #ubuntu-br [23:57] Hey guys [23:58] Where do I run the apt-get install command from?
