| jlau | no it's just doesn't have any results in the command line | 00:00 |
|---|---|---|
| jlau | yes | 00:00 |
| daftykins | jlau: that's normal, you'd need to reboot after that and then check if the connection changes | 00:00 |
| jlau | i found the permissions ok | 00:00 |
| daftykins | so if you enable execute, then try running the "./scripts/driver-select alx" within a terminal window again | 00:01 |
| jlau | however when i typed "make" i got cannot create .config permission denied | 00:01 |
| Prock81 | any hints before i take a gander and try sudo aptitude purge linux-image-3.2.0*, and then pick one and break my system and punch my self in the face | 00:01 |
| daftykins | jlau: interesting, where did you download the file to? | 00:01 |
| jlau | desktop | 00:01 |
| === eddie is now known as Guest66980 | ||
| jlau | i ptu the file on desktop on ubuntu | 00:01 |
| daftykins | jlau: and what did you run to extract it? | 00:01 |
| mathfreak | Prock81: No need to purge. Just install a different kernel version | 00:01 |
| mathfreak | Prock81: e.g. install linux-image-3.5.0-37-generic with linux-headers-3.5.0-37-generic | 00:02 |
| mathfreak | the install process should automatically update grub for you, so when you restart, you can select -37 | 00:02 |
| jlau | i use winrar pre-extracted on a windows | 00:02 |
| jlau | then put it there | 00:02 |
| jlau | @_@ | 00:02 |
| daftykins | hmm | 00:02 |

| energizer1 | When I make a cronjob @reboot, it will run as root? | 00:03 |
| jlau | lol | 00:03 |
| daftykins | does it say what that error is about? :) | 00:03 |
| jlau | permisison denied | 00:04 |
| jlau | lol | 00:04 |
| daftykins | O_O | 00:04 |
| mathfreak | energizer1: If you set up the cronjob while you were root, then yes, it'll run as root. | 00:04 |
| jlau | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5949372/ | 00:05 |
| jlau | this is what i got | 00:05 |
| Prock81 | here goes, when i come back, will i have to recompile modules manually for other stuff to work | 00:06 |
| daftykins | jlau: ok one sec | 00:07 |
| mathfreak | Prock81: No. The modules should come along with the kernel package. | 00:07 |
| niee | Hi folks :) any one to help me pls? after restart my pc, hostname again change to ubuntu. i change many time in "/etc/hostname" and "hostname xxxx" | 00:08 |
| daftykins | jlau: could you bring over the .bz2 original file from your Windows PC and paste it on the desktop? | 00:08 |
| bbflynn | Can anyone help me out please? I am getting "Fixing recursive fault but reboot is needed" on a brand new install. I've tried a few different things but nothing has worked. I can provide any details. Any ideas are welcome. | 00:09 |
| jlau | daftykins: do you mean the tar file i downloaded from the website? | 00:11 |
| daftykins | jlau: yeah | 00:11 |

| daftykins | jlau: place it on the desktop then right click and select 'extract here' | 00:12 |
| jlau | daftykins: done | 00:12 |
| mathfreak | bbflynn: What kernel version are you running? | 00:12 |
| jlau | okay | 00:12 |
| energizer1 | (its a sudo cronjob) | 00:12 |
| daftykins | jlau: then change into there with your terminal and run the "./scripts/driver-select alx" again without doing anything else | 00:13 |
| mathfreak | energizer1: You might want to replace the tilde. | 00:13 |
| bbflynn | mathfreak: I don't know, the only way I can even get a terminal is to boot into the livecd. should I boot into the liveCD to find out? From what I've read there may be an issue with this particular laptop. People said they added a boot option but, no one said which one. | 00:13 |

| daftykins | nosmi? | 00:15 |
| Prock81 | how can i recompile all kernel modules just to be safe? | 00:15 |
| jlau | cool. it compiled and installed | 00:15 |
| jlau | still no internet connection tho. | 00:15 |
| daftykins | jlau: neat :) did you do the "sudo modprobe -r alx && sudo modprobe alx" bit too? | 00:16 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: the site I read said pci=nomsi ... is it supposed to be nosmi? | 00:16 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: i think i read nosmi once before but i can't be sure | 00:16 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: was it 12.04.2 you installed? | 00:16 |
| jlau | daftykins now i did. | 00:16 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: yes. | 00:16 |
| daftykins | jlau: any change from the network manager icon to the left of the speaker + clock top right? | 00:17 |
| jlau | i just did sudo reboot | 00:17 |
| daftykins | ok | 00:17 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: ok just checking you installed with the latest release, do you know what graphics hardware is in this system? | 00:17 |
| mathfreak | Prock81: You'll have to download the kernel source code for that. When you install the kernel, only the kernel object files are installed as well (because for practically everyone, no one wants to work with the source) | 00:17 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: I got 12.04 straight off the ubuntu website. I used the 64bit version b/c the laptop has an AMD Turion. I am looking up what graphics card right now. | 00:18 |
| Prock81 | how do i get my souece | 00:18 |
| Gert_Prabodh | Hello everyone, Gert_Prabodhhere and i'm here and ready to DDoS. | 00:18 |
| daftykins | Gert_Prabodh: my you are a persistent devil. you may be ready, but you just sit there and don't do anything :( | 00:19 |
| mathfreak | Prock81: www.kernel.org BUT WAIT! If you are downloading the kernel source to get to solving a problem, i think something's wrong here. | 00:19 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: ATI IGP Xpress 1150 | 00:19 |
| jlau | daftykins: no luck here. still down after that. wonder what is wrong. my mobo can connect with the internet when it's windows 7. | 00:19 |
| daftykins | jlau: can you pastebin what the terminal outputs from "sudo ifconfig -a" ? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: hrmm so the LiveCD boots in graphically fine? | 00:20 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: yes. install went fine. but when I boot up I get that recursive failure error... | 00:21 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: I know that the laptop has a bcom card in it. Not sure if that's related at all, but trying to provide anything useful | 00:22 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: did you have a network connection at the time to allow it to install updates during install? | 00:22 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: yes. Hard-wired | 00:22 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: i'd skip that, nuke the disk and start again and keep it connectionless | 00:22 |
| daftykins | an update might be doing something | 00:22 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: ok, am going to do that now. Do you think it might be worthwhile to try the 32bit version? or should I stick with 64 if I've got 64bit architecture? | 00:23 |
| daftykins | i'd only be running 64 if it had 4GB RAM or more i think | 00:24 |
| daftykins | depends what you want to use it for | 00:24 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: another thought is just holding shift at boot to try another kernel if it still has the one from disc on there - if you can get that far | 00:24 |
| jlau | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5949412/ | 00:25 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: Obviously, I'd like it to run as fast as possible, just thought for some reason 32 might be less prone to issues. Hmmm...let me try that, when do I hold shift, before grub or right after? | 00:25 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: just before it's about to read from the disk after POST, should give you the menu then | 00:25 |
| daftykins | jlau: hmm, "sudo dhclient eth0" | 00:26 |
| nurow | Question.. I'm trying to copy files to my second hard drive. But I can't because the permissions have the drive owner as root. How do I change that? | 00:26 |
| mathfreak | Prock81: Let me see if I understand what you're trying to do. You're just trying to install the latest virtualbox, right? | 00:26 |
| Prock81 | ya i manage to get it working as of now | 00:27 |
| daftykins | nurow: sudo chown -R user: /mount/point | 00:27 |
| Prock81 | how can i stop the kernel from updating to one that dont have sources or headers | 00:27 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: that doesn't seem to do anything, not sure i it's because of the error...I'll try to do an install without the updates. | 00:28 |
| jlau | daftykins: when i did you sudo dhclient eth0 it is just pausing | 00:28 |
| nurow | thanks daftykins | 00:28 |
| daftykins | jlau: hmm, yeah i can't tell what that eth0 interface really is, just thought it was worth a try really | 00:28 |
| daftykins | nurow: no problemo | 00:29 |
| mathfreak | Prock81: In synaptic, you can use Package->Lock Version on the packages you would like to not update. | 00:30 |
| bleomycin | anyone know of a linux equivalent of networx? something to graph network traffic from another device via snmp in real time on the desktop? | 00:31 |

| bkboggy | I am having a problem with Ubuntu Server installation. I was at the portion where you choose the disk to install it on and then I realized that I didn't attach the hard drive for this installation. So, I aborted the installation from the menu (it told me about the possibility of unstable system) and then I installed the needed HDD. Now, when I try to install it, every time there is a field | 00:32 |
| bkboggy | to fill in response, it fills it with 6 nonstop. So it'll go 666666666666666666666 and so on on every field. So, I can't enter anything and can't proceed. Any suggestions? | 00:32 |
| bleomycin | ubottu: yeah ntop isnt what i'm after | 00:32 |
| ubottu | bleomycin: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 00:32 |
| bleomycin | Dr_Willis: yeah ntop isn't quite it | 00:33 |
| bbflynn | daftkins: does it matter if I install third-party software? should i not check that box? | 00:33 |
| bbflynn | daftykins ^ | 00:34 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: i wouldn't have thought that'd be affecting anything as major as boot | 00:34 |
| bbflynn | ok, cool. | 00:34 |
| daftykins | bbflynn: but definitely consider it a variable | 00:34 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: Ok, I'll leave it off for now. Thanks for your help so far. | 00:34 |
| daftykins | np :) | 00:34 |
| bkboggy | Can someone please help me out with my problem I mentioned above. | 00:35 |
| bkboggy | I tried Google, but I can't find anything | 00:35 |
| sweeN | does anyone know when ubuntu TV will be out, or available for purchase? | 00:36 |
| qin | bleomycin: out of head: ssh, ifconfig and sed ;) | 00:36 |
| Dommon | I'm getting an error while using dkms to build files, and the error log is saying it cannot find the kernel build directory, and is asking me to use the argument KBUILD=<path> agrument. Does that mean I should just add KBUILD=<the path to the KBUILD file> at the end of my dkms line in terminal? | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, If you plugged the HD in while using the live media you might need to reboot it, not sure really. | 00:36 |
| bkboggy | I restarted several times. | 00:36 |
| bkboggy | HDD installation was cold. | 00:36 |
| bkboggy | I don't have a hot swap setup. | 00:36 |
| bleomycin | qin: yeah but thats not nearly as nice as this little widget sitting on my desktop that i can glance at: http://www.softperfect.com/products/networx/ | 00:36 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, I would check the md5sum on the disc or iso. | 00:37 |
| daftykins | bkboggy: as though someone's leaning on the keyboard? | 00:37 |
| bkboggy | yes | 00:37 |
| bkboggy | and when i press 6, it'll fill it twice the speed | 00:37 |
| bkboggy | backspace interrupts it for a fraction of a second | 00:37 |
| bkboggy | but i cant' delete fast enough | 00:37 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, pull the key and look for crud maybe | 00:38 |
| bkboggy | Tried, that's not the issue. I have a mechanical keyboard G710+ | 00:38 |
| qin | bleomycin: Is is for m$ machines? what about peers, do you need to intall anything? | 00:38 |
| mathfreak | Dommon: You might want to try #kernel | 00:38 |
| bkboggy | it worked just fine on the first installation, but after I aborted it, it started doing that | 00:38 |
| Dommon | mathfreak: Will do, thank you. | 00:39 |
| qin | bleomycin: easiest widget would be conky | 00:39 |
| daftykins | bkboggy: does it still do it with no input devices hooked up at all? absolute minimum of things attached to the system? | 00:39 |
| bkboggy | haven't tried that | 00:39 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, Strange, all you can really do is knock out variables, starting with the simplest, like a sum check....etc | 00:39 |
| bkboggy | wilee-nilee: sum check? | 00:40 |
| bleomycin | qin: the link is the windows equivalent of what i'm looking for. Really all i want is something that looks like that which polls and graphs bandwidth from a device (my router) via snmp in real time | 00:40 |
| wilee-nilee | !md5sum | bkboggy | 00:40 |
| ubottu | bkboggy: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows | 00:40 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, There is the the mini disc now called the alternative a net install only 30MB if yours misses the sum check. | 00:41 |
| bkboggy | hmm | 00:42 |
| bkboggy | i'm just not sure what that does | 00:42 |
| bkboggy | the sum check | 00:42 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, It checks if the disc is the same as it should be basically. | 00:42 |
| bkboggy | i didn't install ubuntu yet, the error occurs during the installation and it was fine the first time around... i just aborted it and everything went down the hill 10 minutes later | 00:42 |
| bkboggy | and the iso is burnt onto a dvd, so i don't see how it would change | 00:42 |
| bkboggy | I also checked the ISO through the menu to make sure there are no errors | 00:43 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, The iso might be bad, don't over think this. | 00:43 |
| bkboggy | is this sum check the same as checking if the installation disk is good through the menu during the installation? | 00:43 |
| bkboggy | because i checked that and my memory | 00:44 |
| harris | how can i install the new libre | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, basically you have to use an empirical method in analysis. no a menu check not what that bis is not a sum test. | 00:44 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, Do you mean the check disc at the forst gui on booting the disc? | 00:45 |
| bkboggy | yes | 00:45 |
| bkboggy | where it has the memory check, disk check, etc | 00:45 |
| Dr_Willis | harris: if you mean libreoffice. id say find a ppa for it. | 00:45 |
| harris | Dr_Willis, IT ISNT OFFICAL whoops sorry for caps | 00:46 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, Yeah that is abasically a test, however I have seen discs pass that and a md5sum and still not work, could be to fast of a burn, once again I say knock out the varibles using an empirical method, don;t guess be sure. | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | harris: if the version in the offical repos is not new enough for you.. use a ppa. theres not a newer OFFICIAL version then | 00:46 |
| Dr_Willis | !backports | 00:46 |
| ubottu | If new updated Ubuntu packages are built for an application, then they may go into Ubuntu Backports. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuBackports - See also !packaging | 00:46 |
| bkboggy | wilee-nilee: alright, i'll do the md5sum.exe | 00:46 |
| bkboggy | be right back | 00:46 |
| harris | its libreoffice 4.1 | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | !latest | 00:47 |
| ubottu | 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. | 00:47 |
| harris | its on their homepage | 00:47 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, Its a pain at times that is for sure, that sort of error is a witch hunt. ;) | 00:47 |
| harris | http://www.libreoffice.org/default/ | 00:47 |
| bkboggy | yeah, it's just odd that it was fine the first time around | 00:47 |
| Dr_Willis | harris: so - look for a ppa that packages the latest release for ubuntu would be the normal way to get it. or wait and see if it eventually gets into the backports repos. | 00:48 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, The HD has a partition table? | 00:48 |
| bkboggy | it doesn't even get to that point of choosing the disk, i'm stuck at the network portion, since it fills all the fields with 6's. But yes, the new HDD was partitioned into 2 | 00:48 |
| bkboggy | i formated both partitions, so they're clean, but it's still split into 2 for now, until the installation occurs | 00:49 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, Cool, just sort of guessing, I will leave you to your work. ;/ | 00:49 |
| bkboggy | i'm guessing it'll give me an option of merging them? | 00:49 |
| bkboggy | I'm new to Linux | 00:49 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, No merging, but a install option | 00:49 |
| harris | gtg | 00:49 |
| wilee-nilee | install"s plural | 00:50 |
| bkboggy | How would I merge paritions on HDD? I have 2TB which I have Windows 8 on, and then the 250GB on for Ubuntu Server... but it's split into 2 partitions, 200 and 50 | 00:50 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, In linux you can only remove and expand partitions to that unallocated space | 00:51 |
| bkboggy | oh, so I can remove the 50GB partition? | 00:51 |
| bkboggy | since it's 200GB and 50GB now | 00:51 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, And a ntfs for windows will not sponsor linux it goes in a ext type, if I read your question correctly | 00:52 |
| bkboggy | oh, so I don't even have to worry about it, I can just use the entire disk for the installation? | 00:52 |
| bkboggy | it'll override it for Linux? | 00:52 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, Yeah if nothing is in the 50gig you can delete it with say gparted on a live cd, and expand the other into it | 00:53 |
| bkboggy | oh cool | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, Yeah the only time I pre-partition is on windows installs if I want no boot partition or for them to not intermingle the boot. | 00:53 |
| wilee-nilee | sat with 2 or more MS install they will mix the boot together a real pain. | 00:54 |
| wilee-nilee | say* | 00:54 |
| bkboggy | true, that's how I did back in the day, that's why I had my disk like that... but with hard drives being so dirt cheap these days I just buy more | 00:54 |
| bkboggy | Yeah, Windows is an invasive system, it'll mess things up even if you try to install it on a different partition of the same disk and you have Linux on it | 00:55 |
| bkboggy | that's why Linux goes after | 00:55 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, It's a beast but can be controlled. ;) | 00:55 |
| bkboggy | I am getting fed up with it, hence why I'm going with Ubuntu, so I can have less stress with a server | 00:55 |
| jdale | hi wilee-nilee that friend just called and he cant even boot his desktop lol | 00:56 |

| jdale | :P | 00:56 |
| FloodBot1 | jdale: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:56 |
| wilee-nilee | bkboggy, For a refrence there is a #ubuntu-server channel as well if needed. | 00:56 |
| bkboggy | The only reason I'm staying with Windows is due to the fact that it has an enourmouse base of applications which linux lacks... but it's nice to use both | 00:56 |
| wilee-nilee | jdale, He should be on the irc if he wants help. | 00:56 |
| bkboggy | oh, cool, wilee-nilee, I was wondering about that, I'll be right back | 00:56 |
| ghostman | I am trying to run AOE II HD steam via Wine, I installed Directx and edited the Launcher and AOK file but am still getting the black map. Anyone know how to fix it? | 00:56 |
| jdale | well ok | 00:56 |
| harris | Dr_Willis, i found how to do it would you like the link | 00:57 |
| harris | so you can refer others | 00:57 |
| wilee-nilee | jdale, I can appreciate your helping them but 3rd party stuff I normally ignore, and one does not learn without repetition. | 00:58 |
| jdale | yeah thats ok | 00:58 |
| Daekdroom | ghostman, add "-no-startup" to the launch options under the game properties in your Steam library. | 00:58 |
| jdale | he's pretty frustrated wilee-nilee | 00:58 |
| ghostman | Daekdroom, should I add that at the beginning of the line? | 00:58 |
| bbflynn | daftykins: The new install without updates worked! Is there something I should avoid doing once I get network up and running? Like avoid kernel upgrades or something? | 00:58 |
| Daekdroom | ghostman, yeah, without quotes. | 00:59 |
| Dr_Willis | harris: i dont even rember the problem. ;) | 00:59 |
| ghostman | ok thx i will try that and see what happens | 00:59 |
| harris | "how can i install the new libre" | 00:59 |
| wilee-nilee | jdale, I noticed they were a bit hard headed is all, they would not accept an easier method by just getting a usb wifi that plugs and plays, we only have so much patience. | 00:59 |
| jdale | yeah | 01:00 |
| wilee-nilee | ;) | 01:00 |
| ghostman | Daekdroom it says failed to execute child process -nostartup no such file or directory | 01:02 |
| ghostman | i put that in the command line at the beginning | 01:02 |
| ghostman | nvm | 01:03 |

| Guest34471 | Hi folks, how do I ls only directory names without a slash at the end | 01:20 |
| jrib | Guest34471: why do you want to do that? | 01:21 |
| Guest34471 | jrib: because I need it for a bash script | 01:22 |
| jrib | Guest34471: ok, well ask what you actually want to do in the end because in general you don't want to parse ls | 01:22 |
| Guest34471 | jrib: well I want to get the filepath of the first file in a set of folers | 01:24 |
| jrib | Guest34471: first in what order? | 01:25 |
| Guest34471 | jrib: any file would be ok too, heres a aexample: ./d1/f nextline ./d2/f .... I wanted to get the folder name in a while do loop and concat the foldername without a slash with the output of ls -1 "\"$folder\"*"|head -n 1 | 01:28 |
| jrib | Guest34471: what is your end goal? | 01:30 |
| Guest34471 | i want to pass the file into a application to create file with metadata | 01:32 |
| === Maple__ is now known as dis|0 | ||

| Guest34471 | well what i need to to my script is just a command that puts out one foldername per line without any slashes or any other noise | 01:37 |
| holstein | Guest34471: slashes are the path | 01:38 |
| Guest34471 | holstein: yes I know but they dont play nice together if you want to get something like this processed: ls -1 "a folder name\"*|head -n 1 | 01:40 |
| holstein | Guest34471: you can always script whatever you want.. i would try a programming channel | 01:41 |
| holstein | prrint the name, sanitize "/" or whatever | 01:41 |

| MACscr | lol, im trying to upgrade puppet. I did add a new repo for it. Why in the world is it asking to remove them to solve the dependency issue with the upgrade? http://pastie.org/pastes/8206825/text?key=h91nxf5yexi73xlkhzodxw | 01:44 |
| qin | MACscr: puppet? | 01:44 |
| holstein | MACscr: ppa's are not officially supported here.. you'l need to ask the ppa maintatianer for support | 01:44 |
| MACscr | qin: what about it? its an app | 01:45 |
| jpds | MACscr: Don't use an unsupported repo. | 01:45 |
| ubuntu39290 | hey guys, is there any stability differences between ubuntu and xubuntu or just a lighter weight DE with xubuntu? | 01:45 |
| holstein | ubuntu39290: xubuntu *is* ubuntu | 01:45 |
| jpds | MACscr: Or aptitude for that matter; apt-get is how things are done. | 01:46 |
| MACscr | holstein: but this is more a general question i would think about why something would ask to remove everything its actually trying to upgrade | 01:46 |
| ubuntu39290 | holstein, thought so, it just threw me off when it said they were not "official" releases but community driven | 01:46 |
| jpds | MACscr: Because you're using aptitude. | 01:46 |
| MACscr | well if i just use apt-get, it just says they were held back | 01:46 |
| MACscr | but no other reason | 01:46 |
| ubuntu39290 | apt-get dist-upgrade | 01:46 |
| holstein | MACscr: generally, that PPA is not supported here.. *anything* about it could be causing the breakage/issues you are seeing.. | 01:47 |
| MACscr | the repo is directly from puppetlabs. I guess i might have to ask them | 01:47 |
| MACscr | its unfortunate the ubuntu repo is so far behind on its version | 01:48 |
| wilee-nilee | MACscr, Might be a reason for that. | 01:48 |
| holstein | MACscr: the ubuntu version is supported... the newer one might break something that the PPA is not addressing | 01:49 |
| ubuntu39290 | MACscr, im assuming there is a feature needed in a newer version than ubuntu offers? | 01:49 |
| === Maple__ is now known as s4 | ||

| Nisstyre-laptop | Sometimes mplayer doesn't stop playing after a video is finished. It just does nothing and displays a black screen. I've done a bit of searching but could not turn up much on google. Any ideas? | 01:51 |
| ubuntu39290 | MACscr, not sure if apt-get clean, autoclean would help your situation out possibly someone more knowledgeable would know if that would help or not | 01:52 |
| Guest34471 | ok I found a bash command to trim slash away and there commes the next problem, If I execute the script I get a bunch of cannot access "foldername"/* no such file or directory but if I enter the exact same comnmand by hand everything works fine | 01:52 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | It wouldn't really be an issue, but I have a program that monitors a directory for new files and plays them, but it will just block if the mplayer process never dies. | 01:52 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, you can run killall mplayer | 01:52 |
| ubuntu39290 | MACscr, and apt-get -f install | 01:52 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: I have no way to tell if the video is finished (from my program) | 01:53 |
| qin | Guest34471: "/ is part of path..." quote | 01:53 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: I can just hit enter if I want to do it manually | 01:53 |
| ubuntu39290 | is there anyone that would know if those commands may help macscr | 01:53 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, This an access to a server or something? | 01:53 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: it's a desktop, but I'm not sitting in front of it | 01:53 |
| MACscr | sry guys, i have to jet. Wife has dinner waiting. Thanks for the help! | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, Two computers or devices are involved, can you sense my gols here? | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | goals* | 01:54 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: no, it is just one computer. I'm using this program I wrote to play videos: https://github.com/nisstyre56/LazyPlay | 01:54 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | it watches a directory for new files and plays them... | 01:54 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | the issue is that mplayer doesn't die after finishing a video, so I have to manually kill it each time | 01:54 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, Honestly beyond ubuntu support using your own code, and important info up front, does not mean you will get no help, but details are pertinent. ;) | 01:56 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: well it happens with normal mplayer usage, although obviously that usually means I'm sitting at the computer | 01:56 |
| wilee-nilee | Nisstyre-laptop, I would use another player mplayer is a bit dated, but it does have a list to play from. | 01:57 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: perhaps yeah | 01:57 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | maybe I could make vlc die when it finishes playing something | 01:57 |
| wilee-nilee | or will make a list I use vlc in general but single plays | 01:57 |
| Nisstyre-laptop | wilee-nilee: I'll just look at the cli verson of vlc I guess | 01:58 |

| tones | wilee-nilee, why don't you use your netbook? | 03:14 |
| tones | they are more functional than tablets | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | I got a netbook i rarely use any more either. My tablet does all the netbook was doing :) | 03:14 |
| Dr_Willis | I find my tablet more functional. (well functional for longer, and does what i need done) | 03:14 |
| Shadow}} | Whats the bot command for last seen (Name)? | 03:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !seen | 03:15 |

| woo | + | 03:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, In hexchat I use ctrl-f then the nick, not exactly last but will find all posts. | 03:16 |
| Dr_Willis | theres a memoserv also Shadow}} . but no idea if it has a seen feature | 03:16 |
| Shadow}} | Ah, Hello wilee-nilee . Quite enjoying synapse ;P | 03:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, Cool its the slackers tool. | 03:17 |
| Shadow}} | Much quicker in all ways than the drop bar. | 03:17 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, I guess hud is helpful as well I have not used it though. | 03:18 |
| Braden` | Is there a way in grep to only output the first (x) amount of bytes for each line? | 03:18 |
| nathanbzz | no one has any idea how this has happened :( | 03:18 |
| Dr_Willis | the hud is easy to overlook and forget about | 03:18 |
| Shadow}} | Hm, Well. I am trying to find that Derek person that was requesting someone with business knowledge(s). My friend has accepted taking a look at the idea...So yeah. | 03:18 |
| aeon-ltd | Braden`: if you can target lines individually anyway, you could createe a bash script that would loop the line number then grep the amount of bytes you want | 03:19 |
| Dr_Willis | nathanbzz: look in /etc/password perhaps and see if the users name is defined there. | 03:20 |
| Braden` | Well | 03:20 |
| Braden` | The lines are thousands of characters long | 03:20 |
| nathanbzz | - /etc/passwd is fine | 03:20 |
| jrib | Braden`: you can use cut | 03:20 |
| Braden` | I only want the first 10 characters | 03:20 |
| Braden` | of each line that is outputted by grep | 03:20 |
| Braden` | Could you spoon feed me the solution please? | 03:21 |
| Braden` | I am not altogether familiar with cut | 03:21 |
| jrib | Braden`: I would have to go read the man page | 03:21 |
| Dr_Willis | nathanbzz: i just grepped my /etc/ for my user name. and only places i find it mentioned is in passwd and group | 03:21 |
| nathanbzz | it's the username => uid that isn't working | 03:21 |
| nathanbzz | look at id | 03:21 |
| nathanbzz | and compare it to mine | 03:22 |
| nathanbzz | youll see uid=1000(ubuntu) | 03:22 |
| nathanbzz | should be there | 03:22 |
| FloodBot1 | nathanbzz: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 03:22 |
| jrib | Braden`: echo 'foobar\ncatdog' | cut -b -3 | 03:22 |
| Shadow}} | Curious; Does Thunderbird notify me of new messages while the app is closed? If not, Should I bother activating desktop notifications on gmail or would it be wiser simply to leave TB open... | 03:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, Thunderbird only notifies when open, you can put it is startup applications though. | 03:23 |
| Shadow}} | I assume thats no of a security risk than having an account with it and the app open? | 03:24 |
| Shadow}} | *no more of | 03:24 |
| tones | is there a way to increase the font size of email messages in thunderbird? | 03:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, Should not be it is what you click on that matters. | 03:24 |
| wilee-nilee | tones, In prefernces | 03:24 |
| Shadow}} | True... Thanks again. | 03:24 |
| dougl | wilee-nilee, yeah - I have some sort of lag issue here. | 03:25 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, I'm im W8 using mailwasher to cut the spam I have been getting forever they keep changing the from | 03:25 |
| wilee-nilee | dougl, You have it running now? | 03:26 |
| dougl | not yet | 03:26 |
| wilee-nilee | dougl, Ah, well I'm ot your best help here is all. | 03:27 |
| wilee-nilee | not* | 03:27 |
| tones | prefences doesnt do it, increased font, made bigger, didnt increase it | 03:27 |
| dougl | appreciate the company tho ;) | 03:27 |
| wilee-nilee | tones, This the email you are reading? | 03:28 |
| wilee-nilee | tones, What is your definitions of increase and make bigger? | 03:29 |
| tones | wilee-nilee, no the email headlines in the top panel, can't increase the font of those | 03:29 |
| Shadow}} | In Thunderbird is there a way to request deletion of multiple mails? | 03:29 |
| wilee-nilee | tones, Not sure there, might be some web info just be sure ti use your release in your search us all, there have been so many. | 03:30 |
| tones | oh so it is an issue | 03:30 |
| tones | font is really small | 03:30 |
| Shadow}} | IE: /Empty a folder/ | 03:30 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, edit-select all and right click them and delete | 03:31 |
| Shadow}} | I figured it was there some where, Just haven't done much diggin in TB. Thx. | 03:31 |
| wilee-nilee | no prob | 03:31 |
| willow | hey, is it possible to change skins/themes on (linux version) skype? | 03:32 |
| Shadow}} | I also would like to know the answer to that lol | 03:32 |
| Dr_Willis | if they wrote it using the standard gtk* widgit stuff - then it would use the themes - ;) i dont use skype. so no idea. askubuntu.com may know. | 03:33 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dr_Willis: Skype uses Qt | 03:33 |
| wilee-nilee | willow, You can internally. | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. If i got a file on a dvd disk. thats giveing me I/O errors reading it, what would be a potential way i can recover the file. I dont think ddrescue works with optical drives | 03:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Dr_Willis: What would a plain ol' dd from /dev/cdrom to and ISO file do for ya? | 03:34 |
| SonikkuAmerica | s/and/an | 03:34 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, Can you direct testdisk at it | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | but i do have 2 copies of the dvd. - testing the 2nd one now. | 03:34 |
| Dr_Willis | SonikkuAmerica: that will be the next option. if it fails.. 84% done.. lets see if it succedes | 03:35 |
| tones | I havent been able to get dd to work, either for a live usb thumb or for wiping a drive | 03:35 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: id have to say you are using it wrong then. :) it should be able to easially whipe drives. in fact it can clean them out.. when you dont want them to.. ;P | 03:36 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tones: Patience is a virtue when using dd. (Hint: specify a bigger block size to speed things up [bs=1M]) | 03:36 |
| wilee-nilee | That is why I never dd | 03:36 |
| tones | I copy and paste dd commands and none of them take | 03:37 |
| Braden` | Follow-up to my previous question. How do I crop everything from a file starting at a specific line number onwards? | 03:37 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tones: You may need sudo | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Braden`: for a text file. head, or tail can do that. | 03:38 |
| tones | sudo dd? | 03:38 |
| Braden` | Ok thanks | 03:38 |
| Dr_Willis | head/tail has a neat option/syntax to start at a given line | 03:38 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tones: sudo dd if=ABC of=XYZ bs=[1-4M] | 03:38 |
| Braden` | I thought it would start at the beginning or end | 03:38 |
| Braden` | but not at the middle | 03:38 |
| tones | I hadnt tried sudo in front of dd | 03:38 |
| Braden` | Since I don't know how "long" the file is | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Braden`: it has an option as to what line to start on. | 03:39 |
| tones | will try that | 03:39 |
| Braden` | oh ok | 03:39 |
| Braden` | I will read the manpage | 03:39 |
| Braden` | Thank you | 03:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | tones: When all else fails, sudo. Then use --force. | 03:39 |
| SonikkuAmerica | :) | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Braden`: i just recall the syntax for it is a little weird | 03:39 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: think about it,. dd is doing very low level stuff that can trash the system. You wouldent want just any user using it. ;) of course a user could use it to do some non-critical things. ;P | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: writing to a /dev/XXXX device would require sudo rights. | 03:40 |
| tones | I want to wipe the drive complletey | 03:40 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: that should be rather easy to do with dd. just DONT make a typo with the /dev/sdXX name | 03:40 |
| tones | shred didnt' work either so I guess sudo is the solution | 03:41 |
| * wilee-nilee stutters dd dd dd dban | 03:41 | |
| tones | sdf, sdv which is which? | 03:41 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: if you dont know what device it is you want to erase.. then i suggest not playing with dd. | 03:42 |
| deserteagle | :| don't | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | use sudo blkid to check device names | 03:42 |
| Dr_Willis | i wonder if gparted has a erase the drive option. | 03:42 |
| willow | wilee-nilee: can you elaborate about internally changing skype themes? | 03:43 |
| tones | sda1 is the drive | 03:43 |
| Shadow}} | I believe he means doing it manually by modding the code itself? | 03:43 |
| aeon-ltd | tones: check and double check | 03:43 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: err no.. sda1 is the first PARTITION on the drive.. the drive is /dev/sda | 03:43 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: sda would normally be the first hard drive in the system | 03:44 |
| wilee-nilee | willow, The preferences or options what ever it calls has a skins choice I believe, I have used skype rarely | 03:44 |
| Shadow}} | Yes, It does. | 03:44 |
| Shadow}} | willow; Skype preferences allows you to select a theme, So I presume you could download a theme to use with the selection? | 03:44 |
| tones | there should be a gui program that will wipe the drive, will gparted do a wipe? | 03:45 |
| Dr_Willis | reminds me of years ago when every app seemed to just Have to have a 'theme' feature. :) theme/skins/whatever they called them to make the app look as ugly as possible. | 03:45 |
| willow | shadow: I found a website with themes for windows and maybe mac, but I didn't see anything for linux | 03:45 |
| wilee-nilee | tones, Not that I see other than a delete | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: fire up gparted and look in its menus. you can delete the partions with gparted. | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: what are you eraseing exactly? | 03:46 |
| Shadow}} | Try googling Skype Linux Version___ Themes | 03:46 |
| willow | my issue is the default theme is a blaring white background. Just want a black background | 03:46 |
| tones | erasing the entire hard drive, and want nothing but bios left | 03:46 |
| Shadow}} | Hmm, I'll go look around. I'm wanting the same anyhow. | 03:46 |
| Dr_Willis | willow: compiz has an inverse plugin that can invert a single window ;) | 03:46 |
| tones | from a used computer that I bought | 03:47 |
| tones | and will fresh install ubuntu | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: bios is not on the hd.. and if you use gparted to delete the partions.. and remake new ones and reformat them.. then the hd is empty | 03:47 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: the installer can erase/repartition the hd for you | 03:47 |
| universal | touchhpad horizontal scroll not working in raring...how to fix it ? | 03:47 |
| tones | but if I install ubuntu from usb, will that wipe the drive automatically | 03:47 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest30297 | ||
| tones | will it ask about deleting the drive and repartitioning? | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | tones: you can tell the installer to erase the hard drive | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | you havent even tried the instller yet have you. ;) it does ask. | 03:48 |
| tones | I'll just do that instead of dd then | 03:48 |
| Dr_Willis | how big is this hard drive? | 03:48 |
| tones | 4gig ssd on the ases eee pc | 03:49 |
| tones | I was just trying dd and shred earlier | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | 4gb.. will be tight. | 03:49 |
| Dr_Willis | you dont really want to use dd to erase a ssd i think. | 03:49 |
| tones | crubhbang runs fine on it off of usb | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | but ubuntu is not crunchbang. :) | 03:50 |
| tones | but I kinda like folders on the desktop | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | is say try lubuntu on it.. | 03:50 |
| tones | why not xubuntu? | 03:50 |
| jarray52 | What is the difference between manual mode and auto mode in update alternatives? Is it normal to have the same binary listed twice? Once in auto mode and once in manual mode with different priorities? | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | folders ont he desktop? thats a reason to change os's ? :) change desktops.. | 03:50 |
| Shadow}} | I'm about to ask what may be the most ignorant question asked here; Does an HDD affect the speed of the entire system itself? | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | lubuntu is lighter then xfce | 03:50 |
| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: only when the systemis accessing files on the hd. | 03:51 |
| somsip | tones: are you working with an original eeepc 701 4G? | 03:51 |
| jarray52 | Shadow}}: Almost always, yes. | 03:51 |
| Shadow}} | Thought so... | 03:51 |
| Shadow}} | Shame... I really should of put Xubuntu on my other drive... -Sighs- | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis | theres alwyas a bottleneck.. when its not one thing.. its another. ;) | 03:51 |
| Shadow}} | Wait... I can copy this drive to that drive, Can I not? | 03:51 |
| tones | somsip, no eee 900a with 2gig ram | 03:51 |
| Dr_Willis | got a SSD here.. so that bits fast.. now its the other hds that are my bottle neck. | 03:52 |
| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: you can clone one hd to another yes. | 03:52 |
| Shadow}} | Utilizing? | 03:52 |
| somsip | tones: fair enough. Just recognised the SSD size and was going to contribute, but I'll get back to work instead :) | 03:52 |
| abaddon | I've built a multiboot usb using Multisystem. My problem arises when I try to boot into one of my Iso's. It says "Authentication failed" several times and then just seems to freez at that state. The system appears to boot by giving the ubuntu logo but then droping to the above issue. Anyone have any ideas? | 03:52 |
| jpds | Shadow}}: dd. | 03:52 |
| Shadow}} | !dd | 03:52 |
| Shadow}} | Erm, dd. ? | 03:53 |
| aeon-ltd | abaddon: at what stage does it say auth failed? do you have a new mobo - then is secure boot on? | 03:53 |
| Shadow}} | Not trying to flood ubottu with mistaken commands... | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !info clonezilla | 03:53 |
| ubottu | Package clonezilla does not exist in raring | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | !clonezilla | 03:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm silly bot. ;P | 03:54 |
| Shadow}} | !info clonezilla | 03:54 |
| Dr_Willis | !backup | 03:54 |
| ubottu | There are many ways to back your system up. Here's a few: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BackupYourSystem , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DuplicityBackupHowto , https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HomeUserBackup , https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MondoMindi - See also !sbackup and !cloning | 03:54 |
| Shadow}} | !cloning | 03:54 |
| ubottu | To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this may cause problems with multiarch before 12.10) - See also !automate | 03:54 |
| abaddon | aeon-ltd, No new mobo. It's a lLatitude D620 laptop. The Iso was working up till now. | 03:54 |
| Shadow}} | ...Okay thats too much for me; I just want to copy this entire drive...Wait, Why bother... Not like I did much on here so far and I remember everything I did... >->; | 03:55 |
| abaddon | aeon-ltd, it might be an issue where I don't have the right software installed though. I built a system through Ubuntu-builder | 03:55 |
| Shadow}} | Plus It lets me not encrypt the other drive... Since kinda fruitless anyhow... | 03:55 |
| aeon-ltd | Shadow}}: copy entire drive? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Disk_Cloning#Cloning_an_entire_hard_disk | 03:56 |
| abaddon | aeon-ltd, But rather than install willy nilly I kept all suggested and recommended pkgs from installing. | 03:56 |
| Shadow}} | First: Opinions on encryption... | 03:56 |
| Dr_Willis | i did an instal to a 8gb usb flash drive once.. then used dd to clone it to several other pcs' :) saved me some time | 03:56 |
| Shadow}} | Should I bother encrypting the drive/home in hopes of improved hacker security? No, Pointless... Right? | 03:57 |
| Shadow}} | After-all, Not like they won't just use the same encryptor to unencrypt... | 03:57 |
| aeon-ltd | decryption doesn't work like that | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: this is on a laptop you are afraid will get stolen? | 03:58 |
| tomreyn | ecrypting the drive is not useful if you're worried about people compromising your system though the network while it's running | 03:58 |
| willow | Dr_Willis: I was looking into the compiz inverse plugin you mentioned. Looks like I have to download CCSM to get it working? | 03:58 |
| Shadow}} | Heck naw, This is an internal. =.= I'm telling you I encrypted it for no reason...Mostly out of curiosity. xD | 03:58 |
| Dr_Willis | willow: that makes sence to me. theres also a few other color-alterning plugins i recall | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | willow: inverse, and i think i saw a color-blind plugin once. | 03:59 |
| Dr_Willis | inverse, negative, somthing like that. ;) | 03:59 |
| gray | Hey is there still a help channel? Im trying to install chrome in Kubuntu and I tried #Kubuntu and #kubuntu-help | 03:59 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: touchhpad horizontal scroll not working in raring...how to fix it ? i found out this as solution - http://askubuntu.com/questions/264091/enable-horizontal-scrolling-in-ubuntu-13-04 ....but is there any easy way of doing it coz I don't know I'll be able to remeber the same thing if it gets disabled in future and is dconf like registry in windows systems ? | 04:00 |
| aeon-ltd | gray: the deb from google doesn't work? | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | I recall these guys posting copywrited material to youtube and it was 'negative'-ed so i had to use that plugin to watch the video in normal colors. ;P | 04:00 |
| Shadow}} | When it boils down to it; Should I ever have the mispleasure of running into the group of hackers that kept me off-line for three months solid. Theres nothing I could do anyhow other than stay off-line in all sense of the phrase. | 04:00 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: i dont even use a touchpad much. so no idea. and yes dconf is like a regiestry. | 04:00 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: are you on a Desktop with a mouse ? | 04:01 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: yes. | 04:01 |
| Shadow}} | ...Only reason they started leaving me alone is because I got the /leader's/ actual mac address and told him so. >-> | 04:01 |
| abaddon | aeon-ltd, But I don't know what pkg is missing that's causing an Autheentication failure error | 04:01 |
| tomreyn | Shadow}}: some use cases where encrypting the drive / home is / can be useful: (1) giving system to computer repair shop including HDDs (warranty may be void if removed), (2) intruders in your apartment, (3) feds raiding your place, (4) intent to be able to sell the disk in the future | 04:02 |
| jpds | Shadow}}: Encryption is useful if used wisely, yes. | 04:03 |
| tomreyn | ...and of course the stolen laptop | 04:03 |
| Dr_Willis | drats.. another dvd backup with read issues.. always seems to be the last file i put on the dvd.. | 04:03 |
| Shadow}} | The 3rd being the only reason I can see valid, And it is not valid. Should that occur regardless the password itself would have to use encryption and be longer than the entire drive itself, Not to mention should that occur they'd only claim something else to charge me with. | 04:04 |
| aeon-ltd | tomreyn: about the feds, the way the 4th and 5th amendments seem to be changing that may not hold up in court | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | i rember why i started putting a 200mb zz_paddingfile.avi on each dvd years ago. ;) | 04:04 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: one more question - how to safely remove external storrages like pendrives and memory cards ? simply clicking the eject button only unmounts them, I want it detached it at the same time...with only unmount the light keeps on glowing meaning power is still passing through the respected drives ! | 04:04 |
| harikt | /join #auraphp | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: if its unmounted. you can remove it | 04:04 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: but what about power ? | 04:04 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: what about it? | 04:04 |
| wilee-nilee | universal, If you plug them in you will see a safely remove option. | 04:05 |
| tomreyn | aeon-ltd: there's always rubberhoses | 04:05 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: detaching cuts the power.... | 04:05 |
| jpds | Shadow}}: Someone misplaces the laptop and your company data is stolen, etc. | 04:05 |
| Shadow}} | O.o I remember when I was 14...I'd always mess up and post my ident pass in a channel... then have to deal with the ghost commands before they did the rest. Lol.. | 04:05 |
| Shadow}} | Its not a laptop. ._. | 04:05 |
| Dr_Willis | theres a slightly diffeance btween unmounting and 'safely' remove - i recall the remove also makes the kernel no longer see the device. you must remove/reinsert it to work with it. which Can be very annoying if you wanted to partion the hd | 04:05 |
| Shadow}} | Tis mah spare internal hdd. | 04:05 |
| tomreyn | aeon-ltd: http://xkcd.com/538/ | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: you can remove it if its unmounted.. so it dosent matter much | 04:06 |
| universal | wilee-nilee: that what I'm trying to say that clicking the eject icon only unmounts it...but not detachs, so what i do is manually detach them with udisks from command line | 04:06 |
| Dr_Willis | plug in flash.. copy stuff from it.. safely remove, run gparted... cant find the usb to repartion.. ;P | 04:06 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: ok....but I read somewhere that if power is continuously flowing through drives then its not safe | 04:07 |
| Shadow}} | So; It would be wisest to simply install Xubuntu onto my main HDD without encryption and immediately create a back-up disc, No? | 04:07 |
| wilee-nilee | universal, Do whatever floats your boat. ;) | 04:07 |
| willow | Alright, thanks for the help. I gtg now. | 04:07 |
| Shadow}} | *After redoing what I have done to this one. | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: never seen it be an issue. | 04:08 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, have you tried sudo mkfs.vfat /dev/sd"blay" | 04:08 |
| universal | wilee-nilee: lol yea.....but sometimes it feels like wfm to manually detach each drive everytime | 04:08 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, have you tried sudo mkfs.vfat -n newDriveName /dev/sd"blay" | 04:08 |
| Dr_Willis | abaddon: one way you 'remove' the device make the .dev.sdXX entry vanish. ;) | 04:08 |

| Shadow}} | Actually... probably would be smarter to create a back-up onto my 1TB usbdrive..Huh? | 04:09 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, oh, you were talking about partitioning the drive so I was thinking of the cmd | 04:09 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, ahhh, i see | 04:09 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: same here....never had any issues with removing them with only unmount but I read it somewhere thatswhy asking | 04:09 |
| xmetal | that reminds me i need to try to get grub to boot these iso files (jsut as a test/"proof of concept") | 04:10 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, I do all my backups on an external and have a second to back up the backup, and I'm not even officially OCD. | 04:10 |
| universal | Shadow}}: 1TB usbdrive ?? is it a external usb hdd ? | 04:10 |
| Shadow}} | Toshiba 1TB USB Drive. | 04:10 |

| wilee-nilee | imfc, you have it in the player? | 04:11 |
| Shadow}} | Yes, External. | 04:11 |
| imfc | wilee-nilee: yes | 04:11 |
| wilee-nilee | imfc, Have you looked i home left panel? | 04:11 |
| wilee-nilee | in* | 04:11 |
| imfc | wilee-nilee, I have indeed and there isn't anything showing up. I can hear noise coming from the drive though. | 04:12 |
| universal | Shadow}}: I too have a 1TB Seagate internal hdd with usb casing but its logic board seems to be burned...how to repair it ? | 04:12 |
| imfc | wilee-nilee: mount /dev/cdrom doesn't seem to work either | 04:12 |
| wilee-nilee | imfc, Not sure without googling and asking lots of questions. | 04:13 |
| Dr_Willis | Hmm. got a dvd with one 'bad' file on it. was able to 'dd' the dvd to an iso file.. cant seem to get testdisk to check the iso file to find an issue. mounted the .iso file and it still cant read the file.. Im thinking whenit got burnt years ago it was burnt wrong. any other options anyone can think of? | 04:13 |
| universal | wilee-nilee: touchhpad horizontal scroll not working in raring...how to fix it ? i found out this as solution - http://askubuntu.com/questions/264091/enable-horizontal-scrolling-in-ubuntu-13-04 ....but is there any easy way of doing it coz I don't know I'll be able to remeber the same thing if it gets disabled in future | 04:14 |
| Shadow}} | universal; Dude, Don't ask me... It took me 3 months to figure out my lucidpup liveusb wouldn't work on my Win.8 UEFI Chipsetted Machine... Plugged it into this comp, Not one friggin problem. You can disable the UEFI chipset on that other comp...And it runs it anyway. Lying piece of stocko... | 04:14 |
| imfc | wilee nilee: oh well... i guess i'll just have to resort to torrents | 04:14 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, permission scheme is off?? | 04:14 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, permission scheme is asckew/set wrong to check the file?? | 04:14 |
| universal | Shadow}}: lol ok :D | 04:14 |
| wilee-nilee | imfc, Are you maybe missing some codecs? | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis | abaddon: not sure. i juat recall years ago i backed up a lot of things to dvd. and it was always the last file on the dvd that had the issue. | 04:14 |
| Dr_Willis | i started always adding a zz_pading.avi to the dvds wheni made them | 04:15 |
| wilee-nilee | !info libdvdcss | 04:15 |

| imfc | wilee-nilee, What sort of codecs would I need, I can't even access the contents of the dvd | 04:16 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: I was asking the unmount and detach thing coz it removes the drives icons from explorer and system if clicked safely remove drive but here in ubuntu it only unmounts them....anyway to change this setting to automatically detach them at the same time ? | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | imfc, Have you installed the restricted-extras | 04:16 |
| Shadow}} | wilee-nilee; Could you please do me a favor? | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Shadow}}, maybe | 04:17 |

| abaddon | gray, what irc client are you using? | 04:27 |
| imfc | wilee-nilee: nope internal | 04:27 |
| gray | using quassel | 04:28 |

| Dr_Willis | i tend to use xchat or weechat these days | 04:28 |
| wilee-nilee | to start with | 04:28 |
| gray | I just reinstalled Kubuntu after trying mint 15, not really a fan of gnome, so I went with kubuntu to get the KDE layout | 04:29 |
| xmetal | right now i am actually (not in ubuntu/mint now) using hexchat a xchat clone/fork | 04:29 |
| gray | I havent, Il check it out, is xchat the way to go? I used to rock mIRC lol | 04:29 |
| gray | worked for me | 04:29 |
| gray | ill install xchat | 04:30 |
| imfc | wilee-nilee: I'm running a dual boot so I'll try ejecting in windows | 04:30 |
| abaddon | gray, I like it | 04:30 |
| xmetal | lol i am use to it ... they look identical to me really | 04:30 |
| wilee-nilee | imfc, That works | 04:30 |
| xmetal | xchat in linux/hexchat .. i never use mirc here in windows | 04:30 |
| abaddon | gray, as for desktops, what are you looking for exactly? One that just works or one with flare and pazaz | 04:30 |
| nevyn | gray:bah mirc pirch32 ftw | 04:30 |
| gray | well, I do freelance graphic design and it support | 04:31 |
| wilee-nilee | hexchat sandboxed in W8 | 04:31 |
| gray | dont need a great GUI, but linux's ability to recover files and what not drew me to it, plus im running on an old desktop I use to clone HDD's etc | 04:32 |
| xmetal | xchat not in ubuntu by default? | 04:32 |
| xmetal | (i dont run this distro honestly ... i know in mint it is one of the default apps) | 04:32 |
| gray | thats the thing, I dont like gnome | 04:32 |
| gray | im running kubuntu | 04:32 |
| janne_ | hi all iḿ new and a noob att this linux.. | 04:33 |
| gray | I figure its got my KDE, it runs a little faster on a shittier machine, and has a little more bang for the buck, | 04:33 |
| xmetal | i have Mate Mint 14 and 15 (depending on the day :P ) with Cinn packages, xfce, kde, (one i just found) lxde desktop managers | 04:33 |
| abaddon | gray, might want to use Openbox with the Razorqt-panel and razorqt-session manager. | 04:33 |
| xmetal | (think i even installed edubuntu packages too | 04:33 |
| xmetal | :P | 04:34 |
| tomreyn | hi janne_ | 04:34 |

| xmetal | lol "bot1 bans bot 2 for flooding" for example | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | IF you burn a data dvd. (with several dozen video files on it) but dont finalize it (i cant recall what app i used 6 yrs ago to make them) would that make the last file unreadable? or would that make the whole disk unreadable? | 04:45 |
| lucidium | I'm trying to get a ATI Radeon 9800 to work with the "radeon" driver and output to S-Video, but I'm getting nothing on the screen. X itself appears to be working fine, I can open a VNC session with no problem. | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: yes :) ive seen bots ban each other befor.. but i think these are smarter then that. | 04:45 |
| holstein | lucidium: it might not work... i would just try all the driver options | 04:45 |
| Dr_Willis | lucidium: i recall ages ago - that a lot of the features of the ati cards like that - was not supported. (had an all-in-wonder-pro back then) | 04:46 |
| lucidium | holstein, fglrx's aticonfig doesn't detect the adapter, i guess its slightly too old. what other options are there? | 04:46 |
| jupedupe | May I ask a question regarding more of Backtrack Linux and it's applications here? | 04:46 |
| Dr_Willis | ati likes to remove older cards from being supportred by the fglrx drivers. and that is a rather old card isent it? | 04:46 |
| xmetal | sorry Dr_, i know i have used "Format Factory" in Windows before but can not recall any linux app that does that ... i had a disc that goofed up but with that i could at leaste get good "chunk" off the dvd | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jupedupe: backtrack has its own support channels | 04:47 |
| holstein | lucidium: if there are other drivers available.. not sure.. an options is always that it will not work, unfortunately | 04:47 |
| xmetal | dang | 04:47 |
| jupedupe | dr: the channel isn't in use anymore | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: its always the last file. | 04:47 |
| xmetal | true | 04:47 |
| Dr_Willis | jupedupe: the backtrack homepage - i belive tells that the support channel is on a differnt server | 04:47 |
| lucidium | Dr_Willis, it is, but the ubuntu help page says it should be fully supported with dual-head support and 3D acceleration. | 04:47 |

| holstein | lucidium: dualhead doesnt mean the svideo though, i wouldnt assume.. | 04:48 |
| holstein | lucidium: what page? | 04:48 |
| lucidium | holstein, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RadeonDriver, it's classified as R350 | 04:49 |
| Dr_Willis | lucidium: I dont recall the svideo ever working for my ati cards wheni had them. but that was quite some time ago. | 04:49 |

| Dr_Willis | check the backtrack homepage - for what irc channel they syggest. | 04:50 |
| Dr_Willis | suggest | 04:50 |
| jupedupe | dr: they do suggest #backtrack-linux on this server but they have somehow locked the channel so nobody can write there. | 04:51 |

| BluesKaj | jupedupe, are you registered on freenode ? | 04:52 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: crt type connector? you mean 'vga' ? | 04:52 |
| jupedupe | blue: yes. | 04:52 |
| FroMaster | I hate debugging this carp | 04:53 |
| FroMaster | crap | 04:53 |
| user_ | how to open pod files in ubuntu | 04:53 |
| jpds | Debugging carps, now there's an idea. | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | carps eat bugs. ;) | 04:53 |
| BluesKaj | jupedupe, ok , perhaps they'have an invite only policy now | 04:53 |
| xmetal | yes . they are debating the price of monitor + adapter they would need -vs- a new system | 04:53 |
| jupedupe | blue: ok.. | 04:53 |
| xmetal | a few years old .. not 'too slow" but the 512MB ram is killing it | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: ive seen low end tv's that have vga conectors.. ($100 range) | 04:53 |
| Dr_Willis | xmetal: i have 2 sitting right here.. bought last year for the kids) | 04:54 |
| xmetal | lol keep trying to get them to let me upgrade that PC to 2 GB for them | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | i cant recall seeing any monitors that dident have vga. (havent looked in a few months) | 04:54 |
| iampoz | hi guys, I am looking for some type of way to view my gpu usage | 04:54 |
| iampoz | anyone have any suggestions? | 04:54 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: there may be some 'indicator applets' for it. askubuntu.com has a large list of them. | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: you mean your ati/nvidia VIdeo card chip right? | 04:55 |
| FroMaster | So I have a first boot script that when it runs it chokes on one of the commands. I can't figure out what user it runs as... I did echo "$USER" and echo $USER and it shows empty in the log | 04:55 |
| FroMaster | What user do boot scripts run as? | 04:55 |
| iampoz | Dr_willis: nvidia, yes | 04:55 |
| Dr_Willis | FroMaster: they would run as root i imagine. where are they getting ran from exactly? | 04:55 |
| jpds | FroMaster: I don't think users exist at that point. | 04:56 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: i recall some nvidia indicator-applets i think. but i never used them | 04:56 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: i also seem to recall seeing some conky scripts that showed the gpu info. | 04:56 |
| iampoz | Dr_willis: I found one called nvidia-smi, but can not find its location to install it | 04:56 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: its location? | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | !find nvidia-smi | 04:57 |
| iampoz | apt-get does not work with it | 04:57 |
| FroMaster | Dr_Willis: its a long script that 99% works except for the end | 04:57 |
| ubottu | File nvidia-smi found in nvidia-173, nvidia-304, nvidia-304-updates, nvidia-310, nvidia-310-updates, nvidia-313-updates | 04:57 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: seems to be in the normal nvidia driver packages | 04:57 |
| iampoz | http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/precise/man1/alt-nvidia-current-smi.1.html | 04:57 |
| jpds | FroMaster: What is this script trying to accomlish? | 04:57 |
| user_ | any software to open .pod files (work breakdown structure -mpp) files | 04:58 |
| iampoz | a tarball is there, but i am unsure about installing somthing that seems very old | 04:58 |
| iampoz | sorry, not a tarball, a gz file | 04:58 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: the bot just sort of said.. that binary is in the nvidia-driver packages in the standard repos | 04:59 |
| FroMaster | jpds: I'm building a virtual appliance, so on first boot its installing and configuring a complex software package | 04:59 |
| iampoz | oh i see | 04:59 |
| jpds | FroMaster: can't you do that once, and ship it as is? | 04:59 |
| iampoz | lol wish I knew how to use it now | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | $ which nvidia-smi | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | /usr/bin/nvidia-smi | 04:59 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: just run 'nvidia-smi' and it spits out some info | 05:00 |
| iampoz | haha, thanks, not sure why I didn't do that in the first place | 05:00 |
| FroMaster | jpds: a 30 day license key is generated during the software's install process so I can't | 05:00 |
| jupedupe | if anyone here is familiar with using pyrit (at BackTrack), please gimme a private message or something. :) I think this is not the right channel for that? | 05:01 |
| iampoz | unfortunitly, the gpu process part of it is not supported | 05:01 |
| iampoz | all i get is the temp and mem usage | 05:01 |
| jpds | FroMaster: Hmm, and I guess you can't generate them and put them on a website somewhere where people can access? | 05:01 |
| jpds | FroMaster: Otherwise, you could have the box wget a URL on boot and use that for the license. | 05:02 |
| iampoz | I am running pyrit, the card is running at 85 dec C so I am assuming my gpu is being used... just does not seem very fast | 05:02 |
| iampoz | my cpus are running at like 94-95 dec C... scary | 05:03 |
| jupedupe | :o | 05:03 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: or the info is getting reported wrong. :) seen that happen befor also | 05:03 |
| iampoz | well I can not touch the surface under my laptop, so I am assuming it is that hot. | 05:04 |
| Dr_Willis | iampoz: a toasty lap warmer. ;) | 05:04 |
| iampoz | also, pyrit is in the rep for ubuntu, does that mean it is supported here? | 05:04 |

I'm on webchat irc | 05:17 |

| universal | wilee-nilee: thats the question....I have a lot of opened tabs and restore option is not present......sync has options of what to sync and not of what to restore | 05:18 |

| elixir | Good Morning! | 05:44 |
| thinced | Swagg: I think you should start with VirtualBox OSE, since it's pretty easy to use with nice gui | 05:44 |
| Vustom | Is there a PPTP autoinstall script that works on Ubuntu Server 12.04? | 05:45 |
| Swagg | Does it work with 13.04? | 05:45 |
| thinced | yes | 05:45 |
| Dr_Willis | !vbox | 05:45 |
| ubottu | Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures. It's available in the package "virtualbox" in the !repositories, and you can download the Virtualbox Extension Pack for additional, non-Free functionality at http://virtualbox.org . Additional details can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VirtualBox | 05:45 |
| Swagg | Oh that, with that I get the driver not found thing, let me take a screenshot to avoid confusion. | 05:45 |
| Swagg | Here you go, http://i.imgur.com/XdKull8.png | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | vbox is working well for me here on 13.04 | 05:46 |
| Dr_Willis | check that help.ubuntu url given above. it may be you missed a step | 05:47 |
| Swagg | you just installed it and it worked? No modifications? | 05:47 |
| Swagg | Alright | 05:47 |
| Dr_Willis | I dont recall having to ever do much to get it going | 05:47 |
| Carson | Hi! | 05:48 |
| Carson | Anyone here? | 05:48 |
| goddard | yes | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | No. ;P | 05:49 |
| universal | how to virtually run 2 or more OS parallely side by side rather than running one os virtually inside another os ? | 05:49 |
| Carson | I have a quick question about Wubi Support | 05:49 |
| Swagg | Teamviewer wouldn't even install for me, I wonder if I got a bad bite :( | 05:49 |
| Swagg | Well, it installed but it didn't start. | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | teamviewer is weird in some ways. but i dont use it. ;) | 05:49 |
| histo | universal: what are you using for virtualization? | 05:49 |
| Dr_Willis | !kvm | 05:50 |
| ubottu | kvm is the preferred virtualization approach in Ubuntu. For more information see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/KVM | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | isent that kvm? i forget now. :) i never use that advacned stuff | 05:50 |
| Carson | If I install Wubi 12.04, can I upgrade to 13.04 with full support? | 05:50 |
| universal | nothing...I'm asking how to do it....Ive only used virtual box until now to run one OS inside another. | 05:50 |
| universal | histo: ^^ | 05:50 |
| histo | Carson: wubi is gone | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Carson: best would be to not use wubi. Upgradeing wubi can be very problematic | 05:51 |
| histo | universal: then create another vm and run them both | 05:51 |
| universal | histo: throw some light | 05:51 |
| Vustom | no one? :( | 05:51 |
| histo | universal: just like you created the first one | 05:51 |
| Dr_Willis | Vustom: if no one knows.. id say check askubuntu.com | 05:52 |
| Carson | Dr_Willis: So, It would be better to create a separate partion? | 05:52 |
| Swagg | Oh no! http://i.imgur.com/jB4bAQ8.png | 05:52 |
| Vustom | I will just use CentOS as I found one for it instead :D | 05:52 |
| universal | histo: thats one vm inside a running OS but I'm thinking of a external VM with several OS running parallely | 05:52 |
| universal | side by side | 05:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Carson: a full normal install beats wubi in many ways.. if you cant partion. id say use ubuntu in virtualbox. | 05:53 |
| Swagg | Any idea how to fix that Dr? | 05:53 |
| histo | universal: what? | 05:53 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: no-one what? | 05:53 |
| universal | histo: is it possible ? | 05:53 |
| gordonjcp | !anyone | Vustom | 05:53 |
| ubottu | Vustom: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 05:53 |
| histo | universal: whats the "external VM" going to run on? | 05:53 |
| Dr_Willis | Swagg: not much to fix.. that ppa you have enabled is down or dead.. shouldent affect installing vbox | 05:53 |
| Carson | Dr_Willis what are the advantages? | 05:53 |
| universal | histo: thats what Im asking | 05:54 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: ?? | 05:54 |
| Swagg | This error that I'm getting, http://i.imgur.com/jB4bAQ8.png | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Carson: its supported.. wubi stinks and breaks easially.. and it would be faster | 05:54 |
| Swagg | failed to fetch...etc etc. | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Swagg: not much to fix.. that ppa you have enabled is down or dead.. shouldent affect installing vbox | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Swagg: use a pastebin to paste text.. not screen shots. ;) | 05:55 |
| Carson | I also noticed my battery drained alot faster while using Ubuntu Wubi, is that just a Wubi thing, or just Ubuntu in all? | 05:55 |
| Swagg | Okay, I don't recall enabling the PPA though and it terminates the process as that error arises. | 05:55 |
| Carson | Dr_Willis: I also noticed my battery drained alot faster while using Ubuntu Wubi, is that just a Wubi thing, or just Ubuntu in all? | 05:55 |
| histo | universal: It needs to run on something so I don't understand your question | 05:56 |
| Dr_Willis | Carson: windows drivers tend to be more optmized as is windows os. so it dosent suck down as much power. | 05:56 |
| Carson | Dr_Willis, So will a partitioned Ubuntu save power? Or not? | 05:57 |
| Dr_Willis | histo: what was that hypervisor stuff i recall it could run several os's at the same time. ;) | 05:57 |
| universal_ | histo: any msgs ? i got disconnected | 05:57 |
| histo | Dr_Willis: what? you can configure a linux system to use way less power | 05:57 |
| Dr_Willis | Carson: depends on your drivers and hardware. | 05:57 |
| histo | universal_: yeah your question makes no sense | 05:57 |

| Dr_Willis | universal: err.. text files contain text.. thats all they can contain | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: use a word processor if you want formating saved. | 06:21 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: any other format or encoding for txt files ? | 06:21 |
| Dr_Willis | some text editors/viewers/ or terminal emulators can show links and make them clickable | 06:21 |

| Dr_Willis | I still am upset that the 'metisse' (spelling?) project never got popular. | 06:25 |
| histo | universal: What areyou trying to do with text files exactly? | 06:25 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: wordpad is a word processor. not a text editor | 06:25 |
| histo | universal: most linux apps don't use file extension to identify which format a file is in. | 06:26 |
| universal | Dr_Willis: but wordpad doesn;t needs an office suite or word for working, its simple like txt editor | 06:26 |
| histo | universal: try abiword | 06:26 |
| histo | universal: or gedit | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | universal: that dosent mean its a text editor. if you want a simple word processor - see abiword | 06:26 |
| hylian | universal: wordpad will add extra data to the file, and it won't be readily read by by other applications.. notepad in windows is the way to go, | 06:26 |
| universal | histo: ohh I didn't knew that.. | 06:26 |
| xmetal | what is the point ? | 06:26 |

| Samul | return it at default | 07:23 |

| theadmin | Samul: Reset all the Unity settings? Easy enough: dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ (or, on versions below 12.10, "unity --reset" can also do the trick) | 07:23 |

| histo | al_nz1: what's wrong with scp? | 08:34 |
| al_nz1 | I want to benchmark - scp seems very slow | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | al_nz1: what/how much are you moving about the network? | 08:34 |
| al_nz1 | a shitload | 08:34 |
| tamiya_ | hey guys | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | scp is encrypted. so it will be slower. | 08:34 |
| al_nz1 | on gigabit I am only getting about 2-3 Mb/s | 08:34 |
| Dr_Willis | nfs would be for local lan only, not over the internet, and it also has to be setup correctly, not 'on the fly' | 08:34 |
| histo | al_nz1: is it a bunch of small files? | 08:34 |
| Faraz | histo: thanks. but i'm sorry i don't know how. I installed it from source cause i wanted to try this : https://github.com/phalcon/zephir | 08:34 |
| tamiya_ | some ppl yesterday said I shouldn't be using the Radeon drivers downloaded from AMD's website. How do I uninstall them? | 08:34 |
| al_nz1 | histo: a bit of both | 08:34 |
| henn | !ppa | henn | 08:34 |
| ubottu | henn, please see my private message | 08:34 |
| histo | Faraz: then you'd have to delete the files the source installer installed | 08:34 |
| henn | !ppa-purge | henn | 08:35 |
| Dr_Willis | tamiya_: if you used the .run tool to install them.. use it to Uninstall them. | 08:35 |
| tamiya_ | where does it get installed to? | 08:35 |
| * histo thinks the uninstall will break your system though. | 08:35 | |
| Dr_Willis | tamiya_: all over the place. :) | 08:35 |
| Shadow}} | Wait wait wait, Xubuntu mentioned the catalyst driver elsewhere also it lists my card in audio settings as usable anyhow, So why is it the software thing listed NO additional drivers? | 08:36 |
| histo | al_nz1: if it's a ton of small files that will choke your network down. | 08:36 |
| Vustom | Do I replace 192.168.0.0 with my localip or remoteip and do I keep /24 at the end? - http://paste.pm/8mi.js | 08:36 |
| al_nz1 | how do I list my current nfs shared fodlers? | 08:36 |
| histo | Shadow}}: what driver are you currently using? | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: audio? addatigonal-drivers tool is normally for video and wireless card drivers. | 08:36 |
| Dr_Willis | !nfs | 08:36 |
| ubottu | nfs is the network file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SettingUpNFSHowTo for information on installing and configuring NFS. | 08:36 |
| histo | Vustom: what are you trying to do? | 08:37 |
| Vustom | histo: | 08:37 |
| Vustom | http://hanumax.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/setup-pptp-server-on-ubuntu-124-server.html | 08:37 |
| tamiya_ | i just did a search for all files named Uninst*.sh and uninst*.sh | 08:37 |
| tamiya_ | found nothing | 08:37 |
| Dr_Willis | tamiya_: how did you install the drivers? | 08:38 |
| Shadow}} | 01:00.1 Audio device: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] nee ATI RV610 HDMI Audio [Radeon HD 2350/2400 Series] <-- This... | 08:38 |
| tamiya_ | don't remember | 08:38 |
| Vustom | histo: I'm up to the last part. | 08:38 |
| histo | Vustom: and this is a remote ubuntu server? | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | tamiya_: if you used the whatever.run command to install them.. thenit should have an uninstall option. | 08:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: thats the audio going to your monitor over the hdmi cable. | 08:38 |
| llutz | Vustom: you don't want to use pptp nowadays, its pretty unsecure. use openvpn | 08:39 |
| Vustom | histo: It's hosted on my VPS, so yeah. | 08:39 |
| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: not all of those are supported. | 08:39 |
| histo | Vustom: You need to do some more reading so you understand what you are doing. | 08:39 |
| Vustom | :c | 08:39 |
| Shadow}} | ...I'm going to lose my mind, Fine... I'll download the catalyst driver and continue the instructions for installation... | 08:39 |
| tamiya_ | anyone know? | 08:39 |
| Vustom | What am I doing wrong? | 08:40 |
| histo | Vustom: it's not the remoteip of your server it's the client's ip | 08:40 |
| histo | Vustom: and why you would be setting up pptp in the first place is beyond me | 08:41 |
| rajat | hey | 08:41 |
| histo | Shadow}}: lspci -k will show you which driver is in use for each of your devices | 08:41 |
| rajat | hey | 08:41 |
| Vustom | I am newbie. | 08:41 |
| histo | Vustom: Okay then why do you feel you need pptp? | 08:41 |
| Shadow}} | histo; -Sighs- Thank you... | 08:41 |
| rajat | anyone can show Me /etc/apt/sources.list as I lost my own | 08:41 |
| Vustom | I just want to create a VPN on my VPS, which will work with iOS. | 08:42 |
| Vustom | iOS doesn't have an option for OpenVPN I don't think.. | 08:42 |
| Shadow}} | histo; So these listed are IN USE? | 08:42 |
| llutz | Vustom: there is openvpn-connect for ios | 08:42 |
| Vustom | Could you help me setup OpenVPN on my VPS then? :) | 08:43 |
| histo | Wasn't pptp hacked? | 08:43 |
| k1l | rajat: its good to have made a backup if you fiddle with systemfiles. | 08:43 |
| k1l | rajat: but here is a generator: http://repogen.simplylinux.ch/ | 08:43 |
| llutz | histo: it was | 08:43 |
| histo | Shadow}}: it will tell you which kernel module is in use yes. | 08:43 |
| blueonyx | ls -l / | 08:44 |
| blueonyx | err, hi | 08:44 |
| al_nz1 | hmmm, so I mounted a share for nfs - but it wont let me copy because it says I have no permission to create dirs on the remote share? | 08:44 |
| Shadow}} | histo; It says on my video : in use: radeon <-- So... Its working, No? | 08:45 |
| al_nz1 | even tho I think on the remote system I do? | 08:45 |
| al_nz1 | How do I check?> | 08:45 |
| histo | Shadow}}: you are using the open source radeon driver currently | 08:45 |
| Dr_Willis | al_nz1: on the server, you need to setup how it maps permissions and what it allows people to do with what shares. | 08:45 |
| llutz | al_nz1: make sure you sync your uids/users on all hosts when using nfs, makes it much easier | 08:45 |
| Dr_Willis | oh yea.. :) users id differning can be a pain. ;) | 08:46 |
| al_nz1 | llutz: yeah the server is a QNAP NAS - running busybox - not sure where the nfs settings file will be | 08:46 |
| al_nz1 | but in the web gui it is set to allow RW for * | 08:46 |
| histo | Vustom: Is there a reason you are trying to get your IOS device on a vpn with your VPS? | 08:46 |
| Dr_Willis | i always add my users in teh same order on all machines. so they are always the same. | 08:46 |
| rajat | thanx benchod | 08:46 |

| llutz | histo: aren't prism, tempora etc reason enough? | 08:47 |
| Shadow}} | ...Ya know, Its simply not worth it. This monitor sucks anyhow... Not worth melting what little brain I have left just to find out if its using the card or not... And what am I even talking about, It must be or I wouldn't have a display right now.. -Mumbles- | 08:47 |
| histo | Shadow}}: What is the problem you are trying to fix? | 08:47 |
| Vustom | histo: Yeah, for when I go to public Wi-Fi's etc, or want to watch Netflix outside of the US.. | 08:47 |
| al_nz1 | llutz: would changing the owner on the target foolder to nobody fix the error? | 08:47 |
| Vustom | I have the server. May as well use it rather than paying more money for one already setup by someone else? | 08:48 |
| histo | Vustom: I'd look at openvpn as pptp has been exploited | 08:48 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: pptp isn't very good | 08:48 |
| Shadow}} | histo; I just...want to go to some sort of graphics settings like the audio settings... Thats all... ;-; | 08:48 |
| tamiya_ | ok, i just got rid of the Radeon drivers | 08:48 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: there's an excellent howto on the wiki though | 08:48 |
| Vustom | http://programster.blogspot.com.au/2013/04/ubuntu-1204-set-up-openvpn-server.html | 08:48 |
| Vustom | Will that do? | 08:48 |
| histo | Vustom: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/OpenVPN | 08:49 |
| tamiya_ | What is the correct way to install drivers for my Radeon 5850 on Ubuntun 12.04LTS so I can play L4D2 on Steam without it shitting itself and the desktop Unity panel going missing 50% of the time? | 08:49 |
| Vustom | The one I posted is noob friendly. | 08:49 |
| Vustom | :( | 08:49 |
| Shadow}} | But if the monitor is displaying than it must be using the card properly considering the monitor is connected straight into the card.. Right?... -_-' | 08:49 |

| gordonjcp | Vustom: ^ use that | 08:50 |
| surt | I have terminal access for the time being. | 08:50 |
| llutz | Vustom: better to use the official ubuntu-documentation if you want support here. | 08:50 |
| Vustom | gordonjcp: I'm up to the last part on that.. I don't know what IP to replace the existing one with.. | 08:51 |
| angel | sjaf | 08:51 |
| histo | Is there a reason Shadow}} can't just sudo apt-get install fglrx ??? I'm not that up-to-date with ATI drivers and how they work. | 08:51 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: doesn't matter as long as it's all the same | 08:51 |
| Shadow}} | histo; Yeah theres a reason, Cause no one said to do it. ._. | 08:51 |
| Vustom | I think I put the wrong IP as remoteip | 08:51 |
| Vustom | :/ | 08:51 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: 192.168.0.x is probably a bad idea | 08:52 |
| histo | gordonjcp: that's what he's following essentially but doesn't understand the ip address range in the remoteip being the client's ip's etc... | 08:52 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: where it says 192.168.0.whatever, pick something else | 08:52 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: I use 192.168.29.x | 08:52 |
| Dr_Willis | if the 'addational-drivers' tool dosent show the fglrx drivers available for your card. well.. just installing them via apt-get may or may not work. (i dont use ati any more, so no idea what cards work and what dont these days) | 08:53 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: 29 has no particular significance. Like all my network numbering, I chose it by rolling 3d20 | 08:53 |
| === babilen_ is now known as babilen | ||

| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: the open sourced drivers work well for a great many people in many cases | 08:53 |
| Vustom | So for localip I should use 192.168.29.1 and for remoteip 192.168.29.100-200 for example? | 08:54 |
| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: go for it. if you want to try the fglrx drivers. | 08:54 |
| === a- is now known as ignore | ||
| === ignore is now known as andre | ||
| histo | Shadow}}: Yeah why not | 08:54 |
| === andre is now known as andrea_ | ||
| Shadow}} | Well not like it'll hurt, I need to know all this for when I set-up my main HDD as Xubuntu. | 08:54 |
| === andrea_ is now known as andrea6 | ||
| Dr_Willis | of course if the open sourced drivers are working.. why are you needing the fglrx? ;) | 08:55 |
| Shadow}} | Because, I don't know if they are working to the fullest extent being an HD 2400 PRO. | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | normally on your first bootup. there will be a dialog mentioning the fglrx/additional-drivers tool | 08:55 |
| Dr_Willis | are you doing anything thats needing that much video powar? ;) well fan controll is one reason many peoplke use the fglrx I guess. | 08:55 |
| surt | Hello, I just went from a single 1920x1080 monitor to 2x2560x1440 monitors and I can't see anything...can anyone help me reset the graphic settings because livecds work fine...I have tty access for the time being! | 08:56 |
| Shadow}} | There ya go, This card burns my tower as is... If these drivers will control the fan better thats all the reasoning I need to try. Dr_Willis. lol.. | 08:56 |
| Dr_Willis | surt: see if you got a /etc/X11/xorg.conf and if so rename it to some backup name. perhaps. | 08:56 |
| surt | Dr_Willis: Yeah I figured I would try but no such file. Weird...something must have changed since in ubuntu recently. | 08:57 |
| histo | !xrandr | surt | 08:57 |
| ubottu | surt: XRandR 1.2 is the new method of running dual screens in !X. Information/HowTo here: http://wiki.debian.org/XStrikeForce/HowToRandR12 | 08:57 |
| Vustom | How do I find my client IP? | 08:57 |
| Shadow}} | histo; Before I hit yes and install these, I need to know will it automatically switch to the driver upon next boot? Or? | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | Shadow}}: it should | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | you will have to reboot for them to get in use. | 08:58 |
| surt | Vustom: curl --retry 4 "ifconfig.me" | 08:58 |
| Shadow}} | Very well, Thank you both... I'd of gone crazy trying to use AMD's site crap... | 08:58 |
| Dr_Willis | its weird that the additional-d4riers tool dident mention them. perhaps the card is just a bit too new for it. | 08:59 |
| histo | Shadow}}: it should if not you will have to boot to recovery mode to remove the fglrx crap | 08:59 |
| surt | Vustom: Bad advice, sorry, used to work. | 08:59 |
| Vustom | It works. | 08:59 |
| Vustom | Just takes a minute. | 08:59 |
| Dr_Willis | all you would do at the ati site was download their .run package and run it.. i thought. ;P | 08:59 |

| histo | newuser: What chipset? | 09:02 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: yes, that'll work | 09:02 |
| Vustom | That doesn't answer my question -.- | 09:02 |
| newuser | Chipset? what is it? I'm new to Ubuntu | 09:02 |
| Vustom | Oh, you were replying from before :D | 09:03 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: what's that bollocks in your first paste, with random numbers for the remote and local IPs? | 09:03 |
| Vustom | localip is ip from ipaddr, remoteip is from curl --retry 4 "ifconfig.me" | 09:04 |
| gbence | newuser: what wifi device do u have? | 09:04 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: why the hell would you do that? | 09:04 |
| Vustom | I am doing this wrong aren't I.. | 09:04 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: the instructions are right there | 09:04 |
| Vustom | < noob | 09:04 |
| histo | newuser: lspci | grep Network | 09:04 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: that needs to be a local address | 09:04 |
| Vustom | but | 09:04 |
| newuser | gbence I have wifi adapter netgear (i have desktop PC) | 09:04 |
| surt | histo: Can I just reset all gfx settings to default values somehow? Remove config files? | 09:04 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: you are effectively setting up a LAN between the two machines | 09:05 |
| Vustom | :( | 09:05 |
| Vustom | You choose the numbers then? | 09:05 |
| histo | surt: It is default there is no xorg.conf | 09:05 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: the fact that you are using a bit of clever software is irrelevant | 09:05 |
| gbence | newuser: do u see this device at lsusb? | 09:05 |
| newuser | histo I must run it in Terminal? | 09:05 |
| histo | surt: X is setting them automagically for you. So you need to use xrandr or whatever to configure your dual screen if you are having problems | 09:05 |
| histo | newuser: yes | 09:05 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: okay, you want something like localip 192.168.55.1 and remoteip 192.168.55.100-200 | 09:05 |
| surt | histo: the computer I'm using right now has no xorg.conf... | 09:05 |
| histo | newuser: just copy and paste it | 09:05 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: and in the iptables line obviously 192.168.55 | 09:06 |
| newuser | histo Thanks | 09:06 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: so 192.168.55.0/24 | 09:06 |
| Vustom | 192.168.55/24, or 192.168.55.0/24? | 09:06 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: got it? | 09:06 |
| Vustom | Okay. :D | 09:06 |
| gordonjcp | 192.168.55.0/24 | 09:06 |
| histo | gordonjcp: tried explaining this an hour ago | 09:06 |
| newuser | gbence Where? i'm new to Ubuntu :) i don't know how to see devices list | 09:06 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: what that means is 192.168.55.<something> with only the first 24 bits (the 192.168.55) bit important | 09:07 |
| gbence | newuser: terminal | 09:07 |

| gbence | ofc | 09:07 |
| newuser | gbence Okay I'll try soon. Now i write from other machine. and one question. How to access my 2 hdd from live usb? | 09:08 |
| histo | newuser: did you figure out which chipset your wireless is yet? | 09:08 |
| gbence | newuser: you have to check which disk u want to use.. fdisk -l | 09:09 |
| newuser | histo I write from other PC... thanks for help) Try soon | 09:09 |
| gbence | newuser: then u have to mount them with mount /dev/sdXY /mnt | 09:09 |
| Shadow}} | Dr_Willis : histo ; Thanks for the aid, You two likely saved my computer.... | 09:10 |
| newuser | gbence Thanks) please repeat what i must write in terminal to access my HDD? | 09:10 |
| histo | newuser: if you open nautilus or the file looking thing on the launcher you should see your drivers in the left pane. When you click on them it will mount them for you. | 09:10 |
| Shadow}} | I never would have noticed the lack of noise from the card's fan considering I only recently switched back to this desktop from that all-in-one win.8 crap machine. So yeah, I'm off for the night. Thanks again, Sincerely. | 09:11 |
| newuser | To all: my 2nd HDD is raw in windows. Can i read data from Ubuntu? :) | 09:11 |

| histo | surt: there is no resetting | 09:14 |
| histo | surt: there is only configuring it properly | 09:14 |
| surt | histo: I appreciate the offer for help but what you're suggesting is incorrect. This 13.04 installation in running perfectly without an xorg.conf file and is customised. | 09:16 |

| histo | surt: /home/surt | 09:20 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: you might need sudo | 09:20 |
| surt | histo: Yes that's the home folder, if you mean the root of that folder, then again you're incorrect because there's no xorg.conf file there... | 09:21 |

| k1l | Ubnoobtu: is it an ubuntu issue? or is it more general. when its more general you might be better off in ##linux or the unetbootin support | 09:56 |
| Vustom | gordonjcp: Since I won't be using pptp, how do I turn it off? | 09:57 |
| gordonjcp | Vustom: uninstall the package | 09:57 |

| Ubnoobtu | So, I'm trying to install UNetbootin on here, but it downloads as a .exe. I click on it to run it like you would in windows and it says it needs a program to install it. I download it, and it only makes things worse by seperating them into 6 different .par2 extentions. what can I learn rom this and where do I begin? | 10:00 |
| Ben64 | Ubnoobtu: sudo apt-get install unetbootin | 10:01 |
| Ben64 | Ubnoobtu: or find it in the ubuntu software center | 10:01 |
| === adellam_ is now known as adellam | ||
| DJones | Ubnoobtu: That sounds like you're downloading the version of unetbootin for Windows | 10:01 |
| Vustom | gordonjcp: http://windowsazure.com - It's like a way to deploy VPS, websites, etc all in one interface. I've only been using it for a few days but so far it's great | 10:01 |
| Ubnoobtu | It seems like the one in the USC is outdated , or thats what the orums say. | 10:01 |
| k1l | Ubnoobtu: why do you load a .exe? why dont you use the one ubuntu ships? | 10:02 |

| Ubnoobtu | Its giving me problems its notloading properly | 10:03 |
| Ben64 | explain the problems then, maybe someone knows how to fix it | 10:03 |

| Ubnoobtu | I've downloaded a few .ISO and I tired using the usb-live booters to load onto my usb. But when I go to boot them, it doesnt go through all the way. Sometimes it'll just say boot: I really dont know what I'm doing here. | 10:04 |

| smoke | im running dosemu for my bbs door, and when its being called its popping up a dosemu window, is there a way to prevent this from happening other than changing the user that dosemu is being called with? | 10:06 |
| glowe | Hey all! I am here hoping someone would like to help me get hibernation to work on 13.04. Anyone up for it? | 10:07 |
| altin | is anyone familiar with this bug ? http://pastebin.com/U7vn5GCR | 10:07 |
| altin | i cannot open software center | 10:07 |
| ikonia | smoke: dosemu is a windowed application, how do you expect to use it without the window popping up | 10:07 |
| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: if unetbootin isn't working for you, you can always create a bootable usb drive the manual way using dd | 10:08 |
| dazru | is there an alternative to webhttrack in the software center? | 10:08 |
| ikonia | altin: how are you launching it ? | 10:08 |
| smoke | ikonia, like i said, i'm running it for a bbs door game, so i dont need to see it locally thru the window in x | 10:08 |
| ActionPa1snip | glowe: does the system have a make and model? | 10:08 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: use dd instead of unetbootin | 10:08 |
| ikonia | smoke: yes, but it needs te winow, it's a windowed application | 10:08 |
| smoke | ikonia, i dont believe it does. | 10:09 |
| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: sudo dd if=/path/to/iso of=/usb/drive (ex /dev/sdd, not /dev/sdd1) | 10:09 |
| altin | ikonia, that is when I launch it thorugh terminal | 10:09 |
| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: to find your usb drive letter you can use "df -h" | 10:09 |
| smoke | ikonia, it has xwindows support, (which is whats causing it to pop up in a window), there are arguments you could pass to it to force it to write to the terminal | 10:09 |
| ikonia | smoke: is there anything in dosemu --help to suggest it can be run without a window | 10:09 |
| dazru | how do you change the path of an icon? | 10:09 |
| ikonia | altin: what user are you ? | 10:09 |
| altin | but it freezes and crashes even if I launch it regularly ikonia | 10:09 |
| altin | ikonia, administrator | 10:09 |
| ikonia | smoke: yes, but the terminal is occupied by X | 10:09 |
| glowe | ActoinPalsnip : When i use the gnome power options i cant select Hibernation, button doesnt appear | 10:09 |
| ikonia | altin: what user exactly | 10:09 |
| henn | Alright, so | 10:10 |
| glowe | i Tried to install the Advanced tweak tools but selecting hibernation didnt help either | 10:10 |
| henn | My Unity task bar and the menu bar has disappeared | 10:10 |
| altin | ikonia, I don't get you ? like what ? | 10:10 |
| ikonia | smoke: doesmu -t ? | 10:11 |
| Ubnoobtu | Okay, Let me make this clear, I'm a young beginner, and the terminal is kinda scary for me, but I have to get DD from the respo, right? I do that by doing sudo get apt dd install? | 10:11 |
| henn | Anyone know how I can get them back? | 10:11 |
| ikonia | altin: what is the username you are running it as | 10:11 |
| MsCourtney | Is there a way to repair a Kubuntu installation without affecting files and settings? | 10:11 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: dd is part of the standard install | 10:11 |
| smoke | ikonia, yeah im thinking that may work but its going to require me to change the code of the actual bbs itself | 10:11 |
| smoke | ikonia, i was hoping there was a way in dosemu.conf | 10:11 |
| Ubnoobtu | so like type like cynicist said too? | 10:12 |
| altin | ikonia, it is the first user, it has admin privileges, and is also part of sudo group... | 10:12 |
| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: you don't have to download anything, dd is installed by default | 10:12 |
| ikonia | altin: what command exactly are you using to launch it | 10:12 |
| altin | $ software-center | 10:13 |
| altin | ikonia, | 10:13 |
| ikonia | altin: gksudo software-center | 10:13 |
| altin | ikonia, I don't have gksudo installed | 10:13 |
| Ubnoobtu | ! info dd | 10:13 |
| ikonia | altin: uname -a please | 10:13 |
| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: if it helps this is an example based on my setup, "sudo dd if=/home/cynical/Download/ubuntu-desktop.iso of=/dev/sdd" | 10:13 |
| altin | ikonia, E: Unable to locate package gksudo | 10:13 |

| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: basically if = input file and of = output file | 10:14 |
| ikonia | !info gksudo | 10:14 |
| ubottu | Package gksudo does not exist in raring | 10:14 |
| ezra-s | software-center does not need to be started with root priviledge | 10:14 |
| altin | ezra-s, wasn't running it at sudo | 10:14 |
| Ubnoobtu | okay, so the if will be the location of the iso, and the of is the destination | 10:14 |
| helmholtz | What's the command to install a lamp stack (using taskel, ends with lamp^ or something) | 10:14 |
| ikonia | altin: try it with sudo - apparantly gksudo is gone in 13.04 | 10:14 |
| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: and like I said you can find out the drive letter for your usb drive by typing the command "df -h" and looking for the size of your usb drive to find which /dev/sdX device it is | 10:15 |
| ikonia | altin: or install gksu (sudo apt-get install gksu) | 10:15 |
| altin | ikonia, it crashes again | 10:15 |
| ikonia | altin: exactly the same error ? | 10:15 |
| ezra-s | altin, software-center asks you for your password if it needs priviledges to install anything, you run it from your normal user | 10:16 |
| ikonia | ezra-s: he's having a problem launching it, I suspect he may have a messed up config, hence trying to clarify | 10:16 |
| Ubnoobtu | Can I copy and paste in the terminal? | 10:17 |
| altin | ikonia, ezra-s - after installing gksu http://pastebin.com/5V3PsZc4 | 10:17 |
| blazemore | Ubnoobtu: Yes, ctrl-shift-c and ctrl-shift-v | 10:17 |

| glowe | Can anyone help me get Hibernate to work? I have tried alot of things. When i do pm-hibernate i get a screen with text (says something about ilwifi i think) and then it boots up again and wifi says disable by hardware switch. Doesnt it seems like hibernate is interfering with wifi? | 10:30 |
| iamnotarobot | How can I update my version of cmake? | 10:30 |
| Daulity | for some reason my x won't start it says that it can't find any screens, i haven't done anything special, my mouse and keyboard weren't working so i rebooted, now i have no gui/desktop any ideas what it could be how i could check what it could be ? | 10:31 |
| blazemore | !details | iamnotarobot what version are you on? Why do you want to upgrade? | 10:31 |
| ubottu | iamnotarobot what version are you on? Why do you want to upgrade?: 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 ..." | 10:31 |
| mathnode | iamnotarobot, is the version available via apt-get too old for you? | 10:31 |
| Ubnoobtu | So, how do i know if the terminal is working, because it asked for my root password, and I put it in and it stopped doing anything. | 10:31 |
| mathfreak | Ubnoobtu: Nothing is supposed to show up when you type in your password on the terminal. | 10:32 |
| blazemore | !details | Ubnoobtu what were you trying to do? | 10:32 |
| mathnode | Ubnoobtu, just a flashing cursor? | 10:32 |
| ubottu | Ubnoobtu what were you trying to do?: 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 ..." | 10:32 |
| SuperLag | mathfreak: yeah... can't even get it to play the audio | 10:32 |
| mathfreak | Ubnoobtu: From a practical and security standpoint, this makes sense. You don't really need to see *'s for every character, and having something show up can let people figure out the length of your password. | 10:32 |
| Ubnoobtu | I was using the DD to copy files over to a USB, and uh, its my irst time doing something sucessful. it prompted me for my PW and stopped doing anything. now I just rechecked it and it produced... 654496+0 records in 654496+0 records out 335101952 bytes (335 MB) copied, 36.8749 s, 9.1 MB/s | 10:33 |
| Ubnoobtu | so does that mean it worked? | 10:33 |
| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: that means it is finished | 10:33 |
| cynicist | Ubnoobtu: and yes it worked | 10:34 |
| blazemore | Ubnoobtu: dd doesn't have an output until it's finished | 10:34 |
| Ubnoobtu | Thanks cynicist | 10:34 |
| mathfreak | Ubnoobtu: Yeah, that means it finished. dd can take a long time if you're copying lots of data, so you should go get a coffee break whenever you do something involving large files. | 10:34 |

| Ubnoobtu | Well, My friends windows XP crashed and I want to make a toolkit to recovery data, or repair the HDD if possible. I heard that the kav.iso is pretty good for doing that and thought I could run it, since I cant get the usb utility to run on here either. | 10:50 |
| p0wp0w | blazemore: but I want free ;) | 10:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | babinlonston: then use sftp, it installs and starts when you install openssh-server | 10:50 |

| ikonia | berryciderspider you don't put a directory in the host file | 11:04 |

| dazru | ActionPa1snip: ok thank you. bye bye. p.s. i found the popularity stats: http://popcon.ubuntu.com/ | 11:05 |

| Ubnoobtu | blazemore| anyways, its just a hobby now. I'm aspiring to make something out of this eventully. | 11:06 |
| Vustom | whats the command for that? | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: won't happen | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: and you don't want it to happen, either | 11:06 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: stay entirely the hell away from data recovery | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Vustom: I'd strongly suggest you read https://help.ubuntu.com and look at the server section to get a grip on the basics | 11:06 |
| Vustom | sudo /etc/init.d/vsftpd restart? | 11:06 |
| dazru | blazemore: yes but looks like librecad is the most popular cad program.... that's what i wanted to know | 11:06 |
| ikonia | Vustom: you need to know this before you run an ftp server and possibly get explioted | 11:06 |
| berryciderspider | ikonia: I know, but is referencing it the same as it is in windows? | 11:07 |
| berryciderspider | ikonia: and where is the host file? | 11:07 |
| ikonia | berryciderspider referencing what ? | 11:07 |
| vlt | gordonjcp: Why? | 11:08 |
| ikonia | berryciderspider: sorry, I'm not following what you are saying, what's the actual problem you want to resolve | 11:08 |
| berryciderspider | ikonia:the drupal site directory | 11:08 |
| vlt | Ubnoobtu: I encourage you to continue. Read a lot, ty a lot. | 11:08 |
| ikonia | berryciderspider: you don't put the directory in the host file | 11:08 |
| Ubnoobtu | gordonjcp| Why? I'm just curious because I had a client that needed our help and we couldn't help him. He was a little old korean drycleaner who never backed up his data, and ended up loosing all o his customers tickets and info. | 11:08 |
| vlt | Ubnoobtu: Have a look at distros like grml.org | 11:08 |
| gordonjcp | vlt: because out of the huge list of stuff you don't want in your life, the kind of people who use data recovery services are a fat chunk of them | 11:08 |
| berryciderspider | ikonia: I know that. OK how do I get a drupal instance that I have in svn going? | 11:08 |
| vlt | gordonjcp: Well yes, I hadn’t seen it that way :-D | 11:09 |
| Ubnoobtu | gordonjcp, vlt; WTF! LMFAO, WWWHHYYY? | 11:09 |
| Vustom | Why aren't I able to connect via FTP? It just times out. | 11:09 |
| ikonia | berryciderspider: you check it out of svn, move it to web root, then configure the database | 11:09 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: because you will get the person who has washed the USB stick with the only copies of the photos of their daughter's graduation in the pocket of their jeans on a hot wash cycle, lost the stick in the garden when they hung it out to dry, and found it a week later when they mowed the grass | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Vustom: possibly a firewall | 11:09 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: and somehow it's *your* fault they lost the pictures | 11:09 |
| ikonia | Vustom: or the daemon is not started | 11:09 |
| Vustom | firewall is off, port 21 is open | 11:10 |
| blazemore | Ubnoobtu: The soft of people who need data recovery are the sort of people who don't back up. You don't want to spend all day dealing with the sort of person who doesn't back up | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: you will get the people who bring in obviously stolen kit that they have "forgotten the password for" | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: masses of them, in face | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | *fact | 11:10 |
| berryciderspider | ikonia: ah ok cheers. | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: you'll get the local gangsters who want mobile phones unlocked | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: all that crap | 11:10 |
| gordonjcp | you don't need it | 11:10 |
| MonkeyDust | blazemore i managed to ruin my backup, by forgetting a trailing slash in a cron task | 11:10 |

| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: I tend not to get the idiots because I live in a quiet part of rural Scotland, with CCTV and shotguns ;-) | 11:12 |
| vlt | gordonjcp: Ok, as I thought ;-) Do you deal with really broken drives also? | 11:12 |
| gordonjcp | Ubnoobtu: you get all kinds of people you don't want showing up to poke around your farm | 11:12 |
| gordonjcp | vlt: not if I can help it | 11:12 |
| berryciderspider | ikonia: is it as simple as "mv svn/site/directory /var/www/" ? | 11:14 |
| Ubnoobtu | gordonjcp: I got into this business by installing CCTVs, digtal recorders and all that. I deal with forgeiners mostly, and they are always having hard drive crashes. At the moment, I'm onlly running tests to check if its a hard drive failure, or a platter/motor ailure. And I'm charging them to buy the new HD, and the labour it takes to switch out the platters, then back it up to a HD I have. It's wasteful but they keep BEGGING me fo | 11:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Ubnoobtu, As a owner operator business owner a service business carpet & upholstery cleaning I make 100$ per hour, it is a single task, no extras to create chances of complaints, it works beautifully. | 11:16 |

| napsc | wilee-nilee: i think that should be the linux motto too | 11:19 |
| Ubnoobtu | Okay, so data recovery is generally a waste of time unless its for something uniquely special. People will be asking or me to do illegal acts such as rooting their phones, aiding in the theift of computers and etc. Pretty interesting. Makes me think of DREDD, with the nerdy kid working or the mamaw gang. | 11:20 |
| Ben64 | Ubnoobtu: labour? switching out platters? something seems wrong here | 11:20 |
| wilee-nilee | heh, yeah, never would have imagined this business I used to be a pro jazz musician and am now in a masters program hoping to get a PhD in the end which may after awhile generate that income per session, I can always clean carpets, lol | 11:21 |

| wilee-nilee | flipper88_fl, It has been awhile since I owned a dell, I never used that applet, look in synaptic for i8kutils there was a nice gui, and I found the setup on the web, I just do not remember it all. | 11:38 |

| ubottu | blah sure: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 11:46 |

| blah | yessir thats right, its oem w8 | 11:47 |
| atmosx | I've read online that I need somehow to change my HTPC to send 480p or 720p or 1080p, modes like 480i are not supported. But I don't know how to configure this also xandrr reports "no hdmi" | 11:47 |

| Vustom | Can someone please tell me why I can't connect via FTP? I've commented out anonymous_enable=YES and uncommented local_enable=YES and write_enable=YES, as well as opened port 21. | 11:49 |
| wilee-nilee | xeonix, Possibly a bit high, the sensors if they are all there sometimes need tweaking I have heard, not really an area I'm confident in altogether though. Just thought getting more info may help. | 11:49 |
| janne_ | is there a command for wireless network in ubuntu that i can use to fix my problem? | 11:50 |
| wilee-nilee | janne_, You might run lspci to identify the wifi hardware and post a detailed description and the HW info for channel help. | 11:51 |
| xeonix | Oh, okay, wilee-nilee, thanks for your concern. But, i did installed lubuntu-desktop and when I login with lubuntu shell I don't find this issue. | 11:51 |
| janne_ | ok i try ...iḿ new at this so you have to ecuse me for stuped Q | 11:52 |
| p0wp0w | I need to setup a mailserver, thinking postfix & dovecot - multiple domains any recommendations? | 11:52 |
| wilee-nilee | xeonix, Lubuntu runs much lighter, that may be your answer for the moment, sounds like some older hardware. | 11:52 |
| martin1989 | what is lighter? Xubuntu or Lubuntu? | 11:53 |
| wilee-nilee | martin1989, lubuntu | 11:53 |
| martin1989 | ok | 11:53 |
| wilee-nilee | xubuntu can be tweaked though from what I have heard | 11:54 |
| xeonix | but, I am dead fan of gnome 3 | 11:54 |
| wilee-nilee | the shell for the win | 11:54 |

| ActionParsnip | saleem: install the nvidia-current package then run: passwd; killall -u $USER you will then load the driver and be able to login as 'ubuntu' with the pass you set | 12:04 |

| rileyp | I get about 20 errors simular to the one above | 12:12 |
| ubutom_ | wake up from standby worked fine last weel and all, just 2 days ago or something there was a kernel update and since then it doesn'T work anymore | 12:12 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: natty is no longer supported | 12:12 |

| dotcom420 | I am currently running Ubuntu 11.04 :D | 12:13 |
| rileyp | I know its natty and i know its old so how can i update /upgrade it | 12:13 |
| dotcom420 | Outdated i guess | 12:13 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: you have to upgrade to at least 12.04 (Precise) | 12:13 |
| ubutom_ | 12.04 precise, 3.5.0-37-generic btw, soo, really nobody else got problems with standby reactivation? :p | 12:14 |
| rileyp | yes thats what i want to do upgrate to precise | 12:14 |
| babinlonston | only one user want to access the ftp particularly ftptest this user only have access to the files and its folder how to create a ftp ? | 12:14 |
| rileyp | how! | 12:14 |

| rileyp | thanks | 12:15 |
| ActionParsnip | dotcom420: Natty is dead | 12:15 |
| dotcom420 | ActionParsnip: Can i upgrade my current ubuntu 11.04 to ubuntu 13.04 without CD/DVD drive? | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dotcom420: you can upgrade to 11.10 then to 12.04 then to 12.10 then to 13.04 | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | dotcom420: lots of time, lots of data | 12:16 |
| SuperLag | ActionParsnip: wow... you have to step through each of them? | 12:16 |
| flipper88_fl | Long dead at that. Any one know of a reaonably priced VPS provider? | 12:16 |
| ActionParsnip | SuperLag: yes, unless its LTS to LTS, in which case its one jump | 12:16 |
| SuperLag | flipper88_fl: Linonde. Digital Ocean. | 12:17 |
| SuperLag | flipper88_fl: Linode, that is | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dotcom420: could install using USB if your BIOS supports it | 12:17 |
| flipper88_fl | thanks SuperLag | 12:17 |
| rileyp | saiarcot895: that page is outdated and stops the how to lucid | 12:17 |
| rileyp | *at lucid | 12:17 |
| rodrigograca31 | SuperLag: AWS? | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dotcom420: I'd clean install then restore data from backup | 12:17 |
| ActionParsnip | dotcom420: lots cleaner and a LOT quicker | 12:18 |
| rileyp | Id really like just to fix flash as its not working | 12:18 |
| SuperLag | dotcom420: and if your system is new enough you can boot from a USB stick, you don't need the CD-ROM | 12:18 |
| SuperLag | dotcom420: unetbootin | 12:18 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: it can apply to future releases as well; just make sure to correct the codenames when using them | 12:18 |
| rodrigograca31 | SuperLag: AWS provides you with 1 year free VPS (its not ver good but its no bad) | 12:18 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: also, if you upgrade, you'll have to go 11.04 to 11.10 and then 11.10 to 12.04 | 12:19 |
| dotcom420 | Unfortunately my PC don't support USB boot. By the way, i don't care if my configuration is wiped out. Can it i download latest ISO and then directly run it in my current system? | 12:19 |
| SuperLag | rodrigograca31: yeah, I wouldn't put AWS in quite the same category | 12:19 |
| SuperLag | dotcom420: yes, if you don't care about that... then that's exactly what I'd do | 12:19 |
| dotcom420 | The current system is installed on /dev/sda7. I don't care if anything happens to that drive. | 12:20 |
| ubutom_ | So, anyone know of issues with a recent patch and wake up from standby? BEcause my laptop doesn't wake up anymore since a few days, can then only kill it with the power-button. Version is: 12.04 precise, 3.5.0-37-generic | 12:20 |
| rileyp | saiarcot895 I understand that bit I just dont know how to do it | 12:20 |
| rodrigograca31 | SuperLag: i'm using AWS free "VPS" for testing "things" :) | 12:20 |

| absence | hi, i installed some packages from ppa:ubuntu-toolchain-r/test that i now want to remove. how do i do that? | 12:20 |
| dotcom420 | SuperLag: My PC don't support USB booting. | 12:20 |
| SuperLag | rodrigograca31: I have enough storage in my laptop, I do VMs locally. With 3 hard drives (and 1.47TB of usable space) and 32GB of RAM... no need to pay someone else for a VPS. :) | 12:21 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: open up /etc/apt/sources.list (you'll need sudo permissions, so you might want to do "sudo gedit /etc/apt/sources.list" in Terminal) | 12:21 |
| gordonjcp | dotcom420: remove the hard drive, fit it to something that does support USB booting, install, swap it back | 12:21 |
| martin1989 | 32 GM RAM?????????????? | 12:21 |
| SuperLag | dotcom420: right, but you said you could download the latest CD-ROM and do it that way, didn't you? | 12:21 |
| martin1989 | WOW!!!!!!!!! | 12:22 |
| FloodBot1 | martin1989: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 12:22 |
| rileyp | saiarcot895 I know how to edit files thankfully! | 12:22 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: then, add the three Required lines that are listed, and change the CODENAME to natty | 12:22 |
| SuperLag | martin1989: yes, sir. A Lenovo ThinkPad W530 maxes out at 32GB of RAM, and that's what I did. It'll take 3 hard drives, too, if you remove the optical drive.... and I did. | 12:22 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: if you are using backports or proposed repos as well, you'll need to add lines for these as well | 12:23 |
| rodrigograca31 | SuperLag: ups... i thought that you asked about VPS's.... and it was: flipper88_fl | 12:23 |
| dotcom420 | gordonjcp: Yes, i was thinking that way too. But if it were possible to install from ISO file, it would have been neat. | 12:23 |
| rodrigograca31 | flipper88_fl: AWS? | 12:23 |
| dotcom420 | SuperLag: No, i was saying about latest ISO of ubuntu. | 12:23 |
| dotcom420 | Not CD-ROM. | 12:23 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: Slight correction: remove everything in sources.list and have only those three lines there | 12:23 |
| dotcom420 | My CD-ROM is broken | 12:24 |
| Ben64 | rileyp: just follow the instructions on https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 12:24 |
| Topcat | gordonjcp & Pici: I've 'fixed' it but I wonder if somoene could explain why? I changed pam_service_name=vsftpd to pam_service_name=ftp | 12:25 |
| dotcom420 | Anyway, thanks for the tip. | 12:25 |
| SuperLag | martin1989: http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/5951029/ | 12:25 |
| gordonjcp | Topcat: well, PAM is how various services determine how to authorise users | 12:26 |
| gordonjcp | Topcat: so I'm guessing that by default it's not quite set up in the way that PAM expects it to identify itself | 12:26 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: once that is done, save it and close it. | 12:27 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: Then, run "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" | 12:27 |
| dotcom420 | Just a last question. My hardware is very old maybe maybe 13 or more! So, after installing ubuntu 13.04, does all of my old hardware work? Have you guys removed something in this update? | 12:27 |
| rodrigograca31 | flipper88_fl: ? | 12:27 |
| flipper88_fl | whats up rodrigograca31 | 12:28 |
| dotcom420 | By the way, ubuntu 11.04 fully supports my old hardware. | 12:28 |
| rileyp | saiarcot895 Is it possible I could just do a manual install of flash player until I'm ready to throw caution to the wind! The only issue i have with my current system is flash not working | 12:28 |
| gordonjcp | dotcom420: what spec is the machine you're installing on? | 12:28 |
| SuperLag | martin1989: MemTotal: 32580568 kB | 12:28 |
| dotcom420 | Pentium 4 motherboard | 12:28 |
| rileyp | saiarcot895: rileyp: Then, run "sudo aptitude update && sudo aptitude safe-upgrade" i have it all copied into a file for when Im ready to roll I have edited apt sources no problem | 12:29 |
| SuperLag | dotcom420: chances are... newer Ubuntu will support your old hardware too | 12:29 |
| dotcom420 | Thanks | 12:29 |
| SuperLag | dotcom420: I'd follow gordonjcp's advice. | 12:30 |
| SuperLag | 05:21 < gordonjcp> dotcom420: remove the hard drive, fit it to something that does support USB booting, install, swap it back | 12:30 |
| dotcom420 | Yes, good advice. I can do that. | 12:30 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: you could download the deb binaries for flashplugin-installer from https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/flashplugin-nonfree/11.2.202.280ubuntu0.10.04.1 but keep in mind that if you do so, don't expect any support (well, Natty also has no support now) | 12:31 |
| Vustom | How can I give myself access to all files in /usr/local/openvpn_as/scripts/separate? | 12:31 |
| saiarcot895 | rileyp: you really should upgrade/clean install to 12.04 soon | 12:32 |
| rodrigograca31 | flipper88_fl: VPS? do you know about AWS? | 12:32 |
| dotcom420 | Currently, i have three operating systems in grub. What is the safest way to touch only /dev/sda7 and then restore the grub? | 12:32 |

| Reliant | Hello | 12:44 |
| === babilen_ is now known as babilen | ||
| Reliant | I'm staring at "[ 2244.404019] nouveau E[ PDISP][0000:01:00.0] chid 2 mthd 0x0080 data 0x00000000 0x000b5080" on my screen. It's a black screen, and I have 4 lines of that. everything seems hung | 12:45 |
| Reliant | there's just not much there to Google on | 12:46 |
| adamk | Reliant: You might want to try asking on #nouveau. | 12:47 |
| rileyp | ben64 i will be doing that | 12:47 |
| rileyp | now to install flash.. | 12:47 |
| Reliant | what is nouveau? | 12:47 |
| adamk | Reliant: The video driver for your GPU. | 12:47 |
| Reliant | ahh | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | Reliant: try blacklisting the nouveau driver | 12:47 |
| adamk | Reliant: Or, rather, the default driver for your GPU. You could also use the nvidia driver, if you wanted. | 12:47 |
| saleem | ActionParsnip, i got the display issue on live seesion fixed but in a different way | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | saleem: cool | 12:47 |
| saleem | had to reinstall nvidia-current and restart lightdm | 12:48 |
| adamk | Reliant: If you blacklist nouveau, as ActionParsnip suggests, but do not install the nvidia proprietary driver, you will end up using the Xorg vesa driver, which will be quite slow. | 12:48 |
| Reliant | is all of this doable through the graphical UI? | 12:49 |
| Reliant | I know I saw the app for setting this. Trying to find it on the menu | 12:49 |
| Reliant | doesn't help that there's 2 different versions of "system settings", heh | 12:50 |
| alessand1o | exit | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | saleem: same difference | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | !bootoption | Reliant | 12:52 |
| ubottu | Reliant: For a list and explanation on some of the boot options, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions See also !nomodeset. | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | Reliant: its set when grub loads, before the boot splash shows | 12:52 |
| Reliant | one of the things I saw on Google was that this is related to suspend mode. when I go to the "screensaver & lock" setting of the system settings, it's a blank page | 12:54 |
| dotcom420 | Is it possible to create restore point in ubuntu just like in windows? In case, i mess with my kernel in future, i restore my old configuration with a single command or click? | 12:55 |
| ezra-s | dotcom420, you can use a backup tool, not a single click, but it will do the same | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | dotcom420: just run a full backup | 12:58 |
| tom_ | hello everyone | 13:01 |
| dotcom420 | ty | 13:02 |
| dotcom420 | I have seen that wmv, real media files can't be played on ubuntu. Is it because of copyright? | 13:04 |
| ezra-s | dotcom420, or that appropiate codecs have not been installed, have you tried vlc? | 13:05 |
| MonkeyDust | dotcom420 maybe you need ubuntu-restricted-extras | 13:05 |
| ActionParsnip | dotcom420: install w32codecs and ubuntu-restricted-extras and it should play fine | 13:06 |

| janne_ | i have tryed to get my wireless internet to work ...but i cant connenct whit it .. | 13:17 |
| rileyp | janne_:) | 13:17 |
| ezra-s | blazemore, network-manager is incapable to configure 801.1x authentication in my eth0 that's why I can't use it, same with my wireless, vpnc does not work correctly unless I use it manually and out of network manager | 13:18 |
| rileyp | has it worked in past? | 13:18 |
| magdur | <janne_> are you sure key is correct ?, | 13:18 |
| janne_ | not whit xubuntu or ubuntu | 13:18 |
| janne_ | yes im sure | 13:19 |
| ezra-s | I'd be glad to use network-manager if it worked for something other than basic eth0 conf | 13:19 |

| rileyp | *should! | 13:30 |
| genial | disregard what I wrote, saw now that it was rileyp's dmesg and not yours :< | 13:31 |
| * genial needs coffee | 13:32 | |
| rileyp | janne_: the dmesg output should give you 2 devices eth0 and eth1 if your wifi auto detects and driver loads. there will be multiple entries for both though. The wifi will almost always be eth1 and the wired one eth0 | 13:33 |
| janne_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5951232/ | 13:34 |

| janne_ | in terminal?? | 13:35 |
| ActionParsnip | janne_: sudo lshw -C network will also tell you the chip | 13:35 |
| rileyp | janne that is your onboard hard wired ethernet port. Because we dont see Eth1 the driver isnt loading I would guess! | 13:36 |
| janne_ | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5951246/ | 13:37 |

| janne_ | wait | 13:42 |
| wilee-nilee | janne_, yes and does it have a card plugged in for wireless? | 13:42 |
| rileyp | janne_: from your last paste it seem you have put in an ip address of 192.168.10.54 into the hardwired ethernet setting not the wireless ! | 13:42 |
| ActionParsnip | wilee-nilee: probably due to it being seen as eth1 | 13:43 |

| wilee-nilee | guarnier, Was this a computer that started with Windows 8 that you removed? | 14:02 |
| universal | wilee-nilee: how to install winrar from source ? | 14:03 |
| universal | wilee-nilee: there is nothing for how to install in its readme.txt file | 14:03 |
| guarnier | wilee-nilee, nope, I bought a SSD disk recently and install manually ubuntu and I let some space for eventually win 7 in the future | 14:04 |
| wilee-nilee | guarnier, Did you use gpt on purpose? | 14:04 |
| rileyp | universal: why not just use unp? | 14:05 |
| wilee-nilee | guarnier, Anyway that script is key for you to get help, I know nothing about gpt, if you get no help here I would use the ubuntu forums by starting a thread and posting the script info. | 14:06 |
| guarnier | wilee-nilee, kind of. I read that it is better to use gpt and efi so I used it. if I can reach my data and back it up I can also reinstall everything, but I still don t get how a simple update brakes the entire boot | 14:06 |
| universal | guarnier: is there any considerable performance gain over hdd ? I'm thinking for a SSD too but doubt its cost to performance gains ratio...also I heard that there are privacy issues in respect of deleteing of files....like shred don't work effectively and deleted files can be recovered easily | 14:06 |
| geopsychic | LEAVE | 14:07 |
| wilee-nilee | guarnier, Well ubuntu does not really use gpt in general except in response to the new fast boot windows 8 release and apple dual booting, so it is a bit of a conundrum. | 14:08 |
| rileyp | universal: ssd is way faster | 14:08 |
| guarnier | universal, performance gain A LOT. for techinical things, I have no idea. the only thing is to check that your motherboard supports the SSD speed | 14:08 |
| universal | rileyp: I prefer rar over any other apps and besides does unp has file encrytion capabilities with header encrytion also ? | 14:08 |
| cloud | I was using the 'dd' command to write an iso to usb... and instead of /dev/sdb I used sda.. I ctrl+c'd it before it finished but it definitly deleted some important stuff | 14:08 |

| inerkick | is there any project management tool for ubuntu which helps for scrum methodology | 14:09 |
| wilee-nilee | guarnier, The live cd should have access to the partitions I would guess. | 14:09 |

| wilee-nilee | I have a SSD in my 5 year old toshiba laptop, runs like an olympic runner. | 14:12 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: I mean it should not be accessed as history, but to view history, users should type sudo history' | 14:12 |

| pranjal710 | hi, I change my /etc/sudoers file and rebooted my pc, now when I do "sudo -i" , I get errors: http://pastebin.com/52BjhwSC , I am not able to edit the file again!! Can someone please help? | 14:38 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: how did you edit sudoers file | 14:39 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: please tell me "visudo" | 14:39 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: as the line comment at the top of the file tells you to do | 14:39 |
| willybilly0101 | probably no :) | 14:39 |
| willybilly0101 | pranjal710, if you fucked it just reboot to a live cd, mount the filesystem and repair the file from there | 14:40 |
| pranjal710 | I added a command to the sudoers command "appuser ALL = (root) history" , and I made the error of not changing appuser to root | 14:40 |
| ikonia | willybilly0101: that langauge is uncalled for | 14:40 |
| ikonia | willybilly0101: if you can't help without swearing - don't | 14:40 |

| bibi23 | hi, I have a printer for tickets, which is connected to my laptop with an USB cable, I'd like to send commands to print data, how can I do this? | 14:41 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia : no, sudo nano /etc/sudoers | 14:41 |
| willybilly0101 | pranjal710, if you borked it just reboot to a live cd, mount the filesystem and repair the file from there | 14:41 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: ok, did you not read the warning in the file that says "This file must be edited with the 'visudo' command." ? | 14:41 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: you did read the file before editing it ? | 14:42 |
| willybilly0101 | it was obvious he didn't visudo. with visudo you can't mess it because it has syntax checking | 14:42 |
| ikonia | willybilly0101: yes, hence why I'm trying to point out to him the value of a.) not randomly doing things b.) reading the file c.) making backups | 14:42 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: I messed up, I first edited using visudo, then the file got locked, so I used a different editor!! | 14:42 |
| scauri88 | hi, can i use an ubuntu live on a mac without damage it? | 14:42 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: the file didn't get locked | 14:42 |
| blazemore | scauri88: yes | 14:42 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: the truth is you'll need to boot from a live media as willybilly0101 has suggested and fix the file | 14:43 |

| willybilly0101 | pranjal710, if editor was the problem (vi) you can use another one changhing EXPORT variable | 14:43 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: I read over the net, that it creates a tmp file, so just remove it and you are good to go, I removed it, but still it showed the same !! so instead i used a different editor | 14:43 |
| scauri88 | blazemore: i've already tried it on windows, is it the same on mac? or i have to pay attention on something different? | 14:43 |
| willybilly0101 | some people avoid visudo because of vi | 14:43 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: thats just crazy | 14:43 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: however it doesn't change the solution | 14:43 |
| pranjal710 | Can, I copy the file from a different machine and just cp it to my machine? | 14:44 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: no | 14:44 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: you "undo" the changes you have done | 14:44 |
| blazemore | scauri88: "i've already tried it on windows" what do you mean? ubuntu is an operating system that doesn't require or need to know about Windows, OSX etc | 14:44 |
| pranjal710 | how do I undo it? | 14:44 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: you boot a livecd / media, edit the file and put it back to how it was | 14:44 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: What steps should i follow after i put the live cd? | 14:45 |
| pranjal710 | mine is 12.04 | 14:45 |

| willybilly0101 | my god | 14:45 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: boot the livecd, mount your hard disk, then edit the file on the hard disk | 14:45 |
| willybilly0101 | boot, mount, replace/edit file | 14:45 |

| glenn | why boot ubuntu in grub bash | 14:50 |
| anddam | back to *buntu, is there a proper way to assign an user an "administrator" status? I'm thinking about polkit and so. The rationale is I installed this system with an admin account for me and an unprivileged account, now since my nephew has grown up I'd like to promote his user to administrator and let him happily destroy his system | 14:51 |
| blazemore | !sudo | anddam | 14:51 |
| ubottu | anddam: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 14:51 |
| anddam | sudoers, I know | 14:51 |
| glenn | ho can help me | 14:51 |
| blazemore | OK good cos that's the answer anddam :) | 14:52 |
| blazemore | glenn: nobody because you asked: "glenn: why boot ubuntu in grub bash" | 14:52 |
| anddam | blazemore: it's using GNOME I thought there was some higher level magic than sudo (I'm not a GNOME user myself) | 14:52 |
| glenn | can't boot in grub it boots in grub bash | 14:52 |
| blazemore | anddam: Nope, the window manager can't override security to elevate a user to give them administrative privileges | 14:53 |
| anddam | blazemore: so I'm guessing when he is in Ubuntu Software Center and want to install a game, does the application rely on sudo in that case? | 14:53 |
| blazemore | !details | glenn | 14:53 |
| ubottu | glenn: 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 ..." | 14:53 |

| anddam | blazemore: I'm not saying override security | 14:53 |
| anddam | ah, ok | 14:53 |
| anddam | thanks | 14:53 |

| blazemore | glenn: So you keep saying | 15:02 |
| glenn | what blazemore | 15:03 |
| anddam | blazemore: so an 'adduser foo sudo' is just what's needed | 15:03 |
| blazemore | anddam: useradd -G sudo foo | 15:03 |
| anddam | why useradd rather than adduser? | 15:04 |
| blazemore | anddam: assuming the "sudo" group has sudo rights, I don't actually use Ubuntu so don't know if this is the case | 15:04 |
| anddam | LOL | 15:04 |
| blazemore | anddam: I think they're identical on Ubuntu, the -G is what's important | 15:04 |
| Flannel | blazemore, anddam: NO. | 15:04 |
| blazemore | anddam: Flannel will tell you the ubuntu way to do it | 15:04 |
| anddam | Flannel: care to elaborate? | 15:04 |
| Flannel | blazemore, anddam: First off, that command will cause all sorts of problems because you forgot the -a, so it will set instead of append your groups. | 15:04 |
| anddam | it appended the groups, I just checked "id foo" | 15:05 |
| blazemore | Yes don't do that if the user "foo" already exists | 15:05 |
| Flannel | blazemore, anddam: Second, adduser is much more userfriendly and is what you want. `adduser user group` is the correct syntax. | 15:05 |
| Flannel | blazemore: NO | 15:05 |
| anddam | Flannel: oh you meant what blazemore suggested, I've already gone with "adduser user group" | 15:05 |
| Flannel | blazemore: That's not the correct reason why you don't do it. You want -G group -a | 15:05 |
| blazemore | OK thanks Flannel | 15:06 |
| Flannel | anddam: right. I'm trying to make sure you don't have to spend 10 minutes fixing your user. | 15:06 |
| Flannel | anddam: And, in Ubuntu, the group you want to add is "admin" | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | i use usermod too, sudo usermod -a -G groupname username | 15:06 |
| anddam | Flannel: and I appreciate that | 15:06 |
| blazemore | ActionParsnip: I was about to say usermod | 15:06 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip: adduser is so much more friendly. | 15:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: oh very much, both will work :) | 15:06 |
| blazemore | usermod --append --gid sudo foo | 15:06 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip: so, suggest that instead! | 15:07 |
| Flannel | Why tempt fate with a forgotten -a? | 15:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: if helpers post commands they can be copied and pasted, so no missed -a :) | 15:07 |
| glenn | i boot in grub bash how to boot in full grub | 15:07 |
| anddam | I just read a topic that was quoting release note from 11. to 12. and admin was the old group | 15:08 |
| anddam | let me check the page in browser history | 15:08 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip: sure, but we try to teach good habits, which is adduser. If you read the man pages, user* even says "Don't do this, use adduser instead" | 15:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: not all distros have adduser, so it teaches transferable commands too | 15:08 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip: Any distro of this decade has adduser. This is #ubuntu, please don't be obtuse. | 15:09 |
| blazemore | I've always considered useradd "the" way to do it, and "adduser" was a shellscript wizard around it? | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: not sure there dude | 15:09 |
| ActionParsnip | blazemore: I believe its a debian thing | 15:09 |
| anddam | ActionParsnip: well, when in Rome... | 15:09 |
| blazemore | Next time I'll just tell them to edit /etc/group | 15:10 |
| ActionParsnip | blazemore: one way :) | 15:10 |
| anddam | Flannel: first answer http://askubuntu.com/questions/43317/what-is-the-difference-between-the-sudo-and-admin-group | 15:10 |
| flipper88_fl | blazemore: That definately would fuck things upo | 15:10 |
| blazemore | flipper88_fl: How so, assuming no mistakes were made? | 15:10 |
| Flannel | ActionParsnip: You're more than welcome to break people's computers in #fedora, but in #ubuntu, please do it the proper way. Thanks. | 15:11 |
| Flannel | anddam: Apparently it is. | 15:11 |
| anddam | that's the community spirit! | 15:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Flannel: its not the proper way, its just a way | 15:11 |
| flipper88_fl | Becuse If alway been one to oplay it safe and use wrappers like useradd/adduser and usermod | 15:11 |
| gordonjcp | blazemore: editing /etc/group actually *isn't* that big a deal, in the same way that unscrewing the cover that says "NO USER SERVICEABLE PARTS INSIDE" isn't a big deal | 15:12 |
| gordonjcp | blazemore: it's okay for *you* to do it, because you're not a fat-headed blundering oaf and you accept that when you make things worse you've only got yourself to blame | 15:13 |

| blazemore | javier_: "UUID=feb3f60b-29a4-4288-ad1b-089301fa8528 /datos" | 15:22 |
| javier_ | blazemore, yes | 15:22 |
| blazemore | javier_: You are right, comment that line and it won't be automounted | 15:22 |

| spikespiegel | quick question, what is the difference between graphic drivers (version current) and (post-release updates) which usually works better? | 15:22 |
| javier_ | blazemore, ok, I see. I wasn't clear if it would mount on /mnt/datos, because the line looks very different there | 15:22 |
| blazemore | spikespiegel: The post-release update version is newer (upstream version) - I'd recommend you try it and go to an older one if you have problems | 15:23 |

| blazemore | R0b0t1: If you just want it to be on your user, you could put those commands into a bash script and use the Startup Applications program to run the script every time you log in | 15:36 |
| snoopybbt | if i cd into it i get permission denied | 15:36 |

| thunder-storm | According to my question to conky and the tcp_portmon variables, the tcp_portmon variables will slow down the update frequency from conky - a lot... The problem is based with OUTGOING tcp connections ONLY - i mean, it's resulting with slow DNS-lookups (netstat produces the same slow output). What can be the reason for that? I remember, i have put two clients in my /etc/hosts - hypothetical, if they are unreachable, this can be slow down | 17:55 |
| saiarcot895 | thunder-storm: the slow DNS lookups are either because of your network connection or the DNS servers you are using | 17:56 |

| ActionParsnip | Ubnoobtu : is it compatible with unetbootin? I suggest you check the creator website for how to guides | 18:32 |
| ikonia | Ubnoobtu: those are the tools - if it doesn't work, it's probably the os, again, nothing to do with ubuntu | 18:32 |
| _DB | hey guys | 18:34 |
| Ubnoobtu | ikonia, thanks for the help, I can guess I've been irritating you my noob questions. | 18:34 |
| ikonia | Ubnoobtu: not at all, that's why people are here, to help you | 18:34 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubnoobtu : there is a how to on the site. Did you not think to check the FAQ section? ? | 18:34 |
| _DB | what is a good Mysql/php myadmin server to use for Ubuntu? | 18:34 |
| Ubnoobtu | but youve been helpful, so thanks. | 18:35 |
| ikonia | _DB: admin server ? | 18:35 |
| _DB | yes, not sure what they are called | 18:35 |
| _DB | so I can run a localhost? | 18:35 |
| ikonia | _DB: what do you want to do ? | 18:35 |
| ikonia | _DB: what's the end goal, lets see if we can figure out what you want | 18:35 |
| Ubnoobtu | actionParsnip | I did as I was told on the website, but when I booted it up, it said I was missing a file. | 18:35 |
| _DB | set up a localhost/my sql databases | 18:35 |
| _DB | so I can run mywebsites | 18:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Ubnoobtu : did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 18:36 |
| ikonia | _DB: ok, so there is no "admin" server needed, just install mysql/php/apache (google ubuntu lamp) | 18:36 |
| ikonia | _DB: did you mean "web server" ? | 18:36 |
| t-ubuntu | pranjal710, hi | 18:36 |
| pranjal710 | t-ubuntu: Hi | 18:37 |
| jhutchins | I think _DB is after a GUI management tool like phpMyAdmin, which is really just a set of PHP scripts for Apache. | 18:37 |
| t-ubuntu | hello | 18:37 |
| t-ubuntu | join #windows | 18:37 |
| ikonia | jhutchins well, lets find out when he responds. | 18:37 |
| pranjal710 | I am trying to run a shell script, but I am getting the following error: spawn: not found | 18:37 |
| t-ubuntu | join #windows | 18:37 |
| ActionParsnip | Ikonia: probably something like phpmyadmin | 18:37 |
| _DB | yeah I used to use Xampp on Ubuntu | 18:37 |
| jhutchins | _DB: They're right though, you don't need it for basic setup of a LAMP site. | 18:37 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: that command is not on your system | 18:37 |
| ikonia | _DB: very strongly advise you not to use xampp | 18:37 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: so, how do I get it? | 18:38 |
| jhutchins | _DB: There should be a README with whatever PHP CM you're using that gives you the basic steps to initialize the database. | 18:38 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: you find a package that contains it or the function in the script | 18:38 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: any leads? | 18:38 |
| ActionParsnip | Pranjal710 : run it on it's own and you will be told | 18:38 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: no | 18:38 |
| _DB | I went to apachefriends.org which is where I usually go to download Xampp for linux | 18:38 |
| ikonia | _DB: again, strongly advise against xampp | 18:38 |
| _DB | but it came in a. run file which I cant seem to open even when I download the software for it | 18:38 |
| ikonia | _DB: download the softawre for it ?? it's a binary file, you just execute it | 18:39 |
| _DB | what would you recommend ? | 18:39 |
| ikonia | _DB: but a final warning against using xammp | 18:39 |
| jhutchins | _DB: We're trying to tell you DON'T DO THAT. | 18:39 |
| ikonia | !lamp | _DB | 18:39 |
| ubottu | _DB: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 18:39 |
| ActionParsnip | _db: you don't open it. You run it. It's a linux binary | 18:39 |
| jhutchins | _DB: You want to do your best to avoid software that isn't manged by apt/dpkg. | 18:40 |
| _DB | ohh I see, since when has it been like that? before I used to get a .tar file | 18:40 |
| _DB | and it would give me a folder to put in the root | 18:40 |
| ActionParsnip | _db: there are metapackages in the repo so I have no idea why you need any 3rd party files | 18:40 |
| ajp | looking for some guidance. So I have this bash script that monitors a folder for PDFs and shrinks them when there is a new one.

| jhutchins | ajp: What do you use to shrink them? | 18:42 |
| ajp | jhutchins: ghost script | 18:42 |
| t-ubuntu | join #gsoc-india | 18:42 |
| ajp | it's a single command in my bash script | 18:42 |
| t-ubuntu | oops | 18:42 |
| _DB | alright , thanks for the help | 18:43 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: use a cron job to check an appropriate frequency | 18:43 |
| mastro | after entering single user mode, how do I instruct the system to go on with the standard booting? | 18:43 |

| tgm4883 | Corey, not quite | 19:04 |
| pvl1 | ajp: but then itd be ./ | 19:04 |
| ajp | I kinda meant how you would execute the script from CLI | 19:04 |
| pvl1 | ajp: did you set the script to +x perm | 19:04 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: then why would there be a dot if you are using absolute file names? | 19:04 |
| ajp | but it seems as though it just wants the whole path name and not a command | 19:05 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: yes the file name from / all the way to the name itself. | 19:05 |
| ajp | ok done, now reboot? | 19:06 |
| pvl1 | no need | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: with an ampersand? | 19:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: eg. /home/foo/scripts/filename & | 19:07 |
| ajp | to background it? | 19:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: yes or it could hang the boot | 19:07 |
| pvl1 | ajp ActionParsnip why is there a need for a reboot | 19:08 |
| ajp | ActionParsnip:so I added "/home/matthew/scripts/MonitorScannedPDFsMatthew.sh &" to rc.local | 19:08 |
| ajp | pvl1: I was asking | 19:08 |
| ActionParsnip | Pvl1: never said there was. Its useful as a full test though | 19:08 |
| Guest17612 | hey friends | 19:09 |
| pvl1 | ActionParsnip: do you mean the ampersand is usefull? | 19:09 |
| pvl1 | ajp: youd only need to log out and log back in to update your path | 19:09 |
| pvl1 | or whatever the variable is called | 19:09 |
| Guest17612 | does anyone know a good CPU overclocking app for Ubuntu? | 19:09 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: the .sh isn't needed you know. You could call it .png and it'd work the same | 19:09 |
| pvl1 | Guest17612: thats not a good idea | 19:09 |
| ajp | pvl1: it's a headless business server. I need to wait until after hours to reboot | 19:09 |
| Guest17612 | pvl1, why? | 19:10 |
| ajp | or relog | 19:10 |
| pvl1 | ajp: no need still. you didnt add it to your path | 19:10 |
| ajp | wut? | 19:10 |
| pvl1 | Guest17612: because you can damage your cpu | 19:10 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: rc.local will not run if you log off and on. | 19:10 |
| ajp | right. I want it to run at boot | 19:10 |
| === dudette is now known as Guest72161 | ||
| Guest17612 | yeah, but its still nice knowing i can overclock the CPU on linux | 19:10 |
| gordonjcp | Guest17612: you can overclock the CPU in any OS | 19:11 |
| pvl1 | Guest17612: you can overclock on any system | 19:11 |
| gordonjcp | Guest17612: it's not useful any more though | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Pwl1: for a single script it doesn't need to be in the $PATH | 19:11 |
| pvl1 | indeed my point ActionParsnip , there is no need for a reboot | 19:11 |
| pvl1 | at all | 19:11 |
| mengxuan | I want to see what params are used in a deb package build, how should i find the arguments passed in configure in a deb source pacakge? | 19:11 |
| Guest17612 | AMD CPUs are suppose to be easy to overclock, so i would like to try out the feature on Ubuntu | 19:11 |
| pvl1 | ajp, youve added it to rc.local, and have you updated the permissions on your script | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip | Pvl1 : tests it works as expected | 19:11 |
| gordonjcp | Guest17612: it's not worth it | 19:11 |
| gordonjcp | Guest17612: back in the early days it was worth trying to overclock your 25MHz CPU to maybe 30MHz | 19:12 |
| ajp | pvl1: yes. how would I test besides reboot? | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest17612: use your bios then. Ask in ##hardware | 19:12 |
| Guest17612 | maybe, but I want to try it out | 19:12 |
| gordonjcp | Guest17612: now you can't really squeeze much more out of the CPU | 19:12 |
| pvl1 | ajp: now your asking the right question :) | 19:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: kill the things it starts then run: sudo /etc/rc.local in an ALT+F2 | 19:13 |
| Guest17612 | gordonjcp, i hear you can get close to 5GHz from new AMD CPUs | 19:13 |
| ajp | alt f2? Im connected to the server via ssh | 19:13 |
| pvl1 | Guest17612: do you have a higher quality heat sink and fan for it | 19:13 |
| Guest17612 | i'm going to get one, just going to test out on stock first | 19:14 |
| pvl1 | ajp: running the script is the only test you need | 19:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Ajp: then use screen and run rc.local then disconnect the screen so the things ran keep going | 19:14 |
| ajp | ok running /etc/rc.local gets it going I can see it watching the folder | 19:14 |
| pvl1 | Guest17612: and then do u have moeny to replace the new amd cpu u will probably melt by doing this with stock equip | 19:14 |
| Guest17612 | can you just tell me the apps on how to achieve overclocking on Ubuntu, thanks | 19:14 |
| pvl1 | ajp: awesome | 19:15 |
| pvl1 | Guest17612: its not an app, the bios is what really controls that. there are certain layers to an onion | 19:15 |
| ajp | can I just use "sudo /etc/rc.local &" | 19:15 |
| pvl1 | ajp: to test? | 19:15 |
| Guest17612 | pvl1, in Windows you can just use apps to overclock, bios is just software too | 19:16 |
| ajp | no I want it running all the time. I can't be connected via ssh forever?! | 19:16 |
| pvl1 | ajp: id use screen just to be safe | 19:16 |
| ElFizbanio | could someone get this file and upload it to dropbox or something? http://quozl.linux.org.au/netrek-client-pygame/gytha_0.9-1_all.deb | 19:17 |

| ajp | Why can't I just reboot and let it run? I want this to be stupid proof | 19:17 |
| pvl1 | ajp: you can let it reboot | 19:17 |
| ajp | and rebooting will run rc.local and let the script run? | 19:17 |
| pvl1 | Guest17612: do a google search, this is a support channel afterall | 19:18 |
| pvl1 | Guest17612: and thats part of the reason why the security world uses *nix derivs and not windows | 19:18 |
| Guest17612 | ? | 19:19 |
| ajp | Guest17612: BIOS is firmware not software | 19:19 |
| pvl1 | ajp: long as your script has correct perm, and no errors yes. HOWEVER i suggest you make your script exit 0, meaning if there are any indefinite loops, start another script | 19:19 |
| pvl1 | ajp: it says so in the rc.local file to do so | 19:19 |
| pvl1 | ajp: and good call, it is indeed firmware | 19:19 |
| ajp | ok, thanks pvl1, jhutchins, ActionParsnip. I will reboot after the business day and check but I'll see you tomorrow if a no go. Thanks Guys/Gals! | 19:20 |
| pvl1 | nno prob | 19:20 |

| Snake2k | hey everyone, i have a black screen problem on ubuntu 12.04.. i tried the nomodeset thing etc doesnt work.. i get a purple screen then black and then nothing | 20:09 |
| BAFOS7 | <BAFOS7> when I try to use wget to download a file from a website how do I know where the file is located? | 20:09 |
| mastroMint | BluesKaj: can;t either.. the first disk is an SSD used to boost disk speed | 20:10 |
| k1l_ | BAFOS7: you need to know the exact path you want to download with wget | 20:10 |
| nurow | let me try to reboot now that i've installed gksu | 20:10 |
| pvl1 | nurow: but does the unity | 20:10 |
| pvl1 | appear in front now | 20:10 |
| BAFOS7 | well for instance http://www.egghelp.org/tclhtml/3478-4-0-365-1.htm in this website | 20:10 |
| nurow | it is not fixed still | 20:10 |
| BAFOS7 | how do I donwload the first file | 20:10 |
| proxypirate | if anyone is interested he is the link for the ubuntu edge -> http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge | 20:10 |
| k1l_ | BAFOS7: like making a right click on the link and safe the link-path, the use wget with that link | 20:10 |
| BAFOS7 | how do I find the exact path? | 20:11 |

| pvl1 | nurow: reboot wont do anything | 20:11 |
| mastroMint | nurow: I didn't follow your issue, but rebooting for gksu doesn't make sense | 20:11 |
| BluesKaj | mastroMint, well i guess you've painted yourself into a corner , unless someone else has a suggestion | 20:11 |
| BAFOS7 | do I right click on the file and copy the link location? | 20:11 |
| === lux_ is now known as Guest32411 | ||
| nurow | ok | 20:11 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: his gksu unity prompt appears behind active windows | 20:11 |

| k1l_ | proxypirate: lets keep this channel for support only. we have #ubuntu-offtopic for chatting and #ubuntu-touch for the system | 20:11 |
| mastroMint | pvl1: oh, I see, I doubt reinstalling gksu can fix it | 20:11 |
| guntbert | BAFOS7: yes, then you type wget and press <shift><ctrl>V | 20:12 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: i realized that after i said it. i was thinkigna dpkg on unity? | 20:12 |
| BAFOS7 | ok but | 20:12 |
| BAFOS7 | when I do that | 20:12 |
| mastroMint | BluesKaj: how id it supposed to work? does grub install in the EFI partition? does it override the previous content? does it add to it? how is it supposed to work? first time with EFI | 20:12 |
| BAFOS7 | I come up with this address | 20:12 |
| BAFOS7 | http://www.egghelp.org/cgi-bin/tcl_archive.tcl?mode=download&id=1717 | 20:12 |

| mastroMint | pvl1: s/issu/issue/ | 20:13 |
| guntbert | BAFOS7: why do you want to use wget? | 20:14 |
| BluesKaj | mastroMint, grub looks for the mbr on the disk and installs there , which is normally the first part of the disk (512 bytes or some such) | 20:14 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: hence a reconf otherwise i have no idea | 20:14 |
| BAFOS7 | I want to download a tcl for an eggdrop | 20:14 |
| mastroMint | BluesKaj: that's for non-EFI | 20:14 |
| guntbert | BAFOS7: why don't you download it with your browser? | 20:14 |
| pvl1 | BluesKaj: are you positive you did indeed install grub to mbr? and for that matter, do you only have one drive? | 20:14 |
| BAFOS7 | because I want to learn how to use the command line | 20:15 |
| BluesKaj | mastroMint, ok , i was afraid that efi would change things :( | 20:15 |
| BAFOS7 | I know how to download it from my browser :) | 20:15 |

| Ninc0mP00p | how can i see other people in this room? | 20:18 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: whats it do anyway | 20:19 |
| guntbert | BAFOS7: as for suggestions: visit download.ubuntu.com and look for a file you like | 20:19 |
| nurow | well, I installed fresh from a disc | 20:19 |
| nurow | originally | 20:19 |
| BAFOS7 | ok thanks | 20:19 |
| BAFOS7 | sorry for the chat confusion | 20:19 |
| nurow | but I have not re-installed Ubuntu | 20:19 |
| guntbert | BAFOS7: no problem :) | 20:19 |
| titia | how do you convert an image from xpm to svg ? | 20:19 |
| pvl1 | nurow: hm... idk on a whim you could try to dpkg-reconfigure unity and all related programs | 20:19 |
| pvl1 | libs | 20:19 |
| mastroMint | pvl1: I installed, choosing the existing EFI partition to use as EFI. My system has 2 disk, first one is an SSD used as SRT to boost disk performance on windows | 20:20 |
| pvl1 | nurow: otherwise i really dont know, have you updated and upgraded | 20:20 |
| mastroMint | pvl1: after installing I rebooted but windows 8 started, no option was given | 20:20 |
| mastroMint | pvl1: this is the first time I play with EFI and I-m not sure what to do cause I don't know how it works | 20:20 |
| pvl1 | BluesKaj: wow sorry my b | 20:20 |
| titia | how do you convert an image from xpm to svg ? | 20:20 |
| nurow | pvl1: I just tried dpkg-reconfigure unity, same thing | 20:21 |

| ubottu | titia: Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 20:21 |
| pvl1 | titia: google | 20:21 |
| BluesKaj | pvl1, np :) | 20:21 |
| nurow | this is a system76 laptop, so let me try to lean on their support. | 20:21 |

| ubottu | 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. | 20:21 |
| pvl1 | theres an issue when i get that everytime im in here :( | 20:22 |
| napsc | nurow: what do you have under compiz config manager -> general -> focus & raise behavior tab | 20:22 |
| mastroMint | guntbert: can't say I agree with that policy... makes users annoying and unwilling to look for their issues themselves | 20:23 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: did you look in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 20:23 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: my point is that you need to confirm that first ubuntu installed, grub installed, and that its to the right disk, and that your uefi likes it | 20:23 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: irc rules | 20:24 |
| mastroMint | pvl1: can't say I read it all, but yes I lookeat ad it.. and I'd rather avoid executing some "boot fix" which I don't know what does | 20:24 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: boot repair is ubuntu made | 20:24 |
| pvl1 | canonical rather | 20:24 |
| Awaken | and it tells you exactly what its doing | 20:24 |
| Awaken | in fact if its the tool im thining of, it just gives you commands to copy and paste into terminal | 20:25 |
| mastroMint | pvl1: I want to know how EFI is expected to work with Linux.. can the EFI partition be the second partition on the second disk? how does grub install itself there? those it override the previous EFI? does it add itself to it? | 20:25 |
| nurow | napsc, how do I get to compiz config manager? | 20:25 |
| pvl1 | mastroMint: no idea, id suggest digging in #linux | 20:25 |
| pvl1 | i gotta head out | 20:25 |
| fulange | hey everyone, hows it going? I, as you might expect, have come here to seek help... | 20:25 |
| pvl1 | ill b on laters | 20:25 |
| mastroMint | pvl1: my policy is: do not run it if you don't know what it does, worked so far.. I want to understand what's going on before executing random tools and hope things will be right, sound much like windows style to me | 20:26 |
| guntbert | !ask | fulange | 20:26 |
| ubottu | fulange: 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 | 20:26 |
| fulange | i am new to linux and just installed ubuntu 13.04 and it doesnt seem to see my ethernet cable! | 20:26 |
| titia | so a newbie comes to the ubuntu channel for help... one user tells him to google it... another one says he's annoying... nice... so is that the community spirit? | 20:26 |
| pvl1 | titia: your question was not ubuntu specific | 20:27 |
| pvl1 | this is an ubuntu support channel | 20:27 |
| guntbert | titia: no, but you need to be patient | 20:27 |
| napsc | nurow: software center -compizConfig ... i thought that is was installed on mine by default... guess i installed it | 20:27 |

| Guest27635 | i have set up ad-hoc network on one Ubuntu machine and the other one will not connect to it. The SSID is greyed out in the network list | 20:28 |
| gordonjcp | fulange: see in the top right beside the clock and speaker symbols, do you see a symbol that looks like a pair of arrows pointing up and down? | 20:28 |

| nurow | ah.. *goes and uninstalls it* | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | titia: that's not really about Ubuntu as such | 20:30 |
| titia | i thought it was an easy problem that someone here could give me a quick answer to... | 20:30 |
| gordonjcp | titia: it's harder to go from xpm to svg than the other way round, because you pretty much need to draw the vectors by hand | 20:30 |
| nurow | brb, I'm going to try a reboot (for more reasons than just this issue) | 20:31 |
| Sk1Special | titia, google gets you https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-users/2007-November/129084.html | 20:31 |
| fulange | gordonjcp: no, no arrows, or other connection icon. there is the wifi one, but no wired icon | 20:31 |
| gordonjcp | titia: if you google for something like "convert xpm to svg" you'll find there are various things that auto trace bitmaps, but the output isn't always great | 20:31 |
| Sk1Special | The most non-technical way to convert an xpm image to svg is to | 20:31 |
| Sk1Special | 1. Open it with GIMP | 20:31 |
| Sk1Special | 2. Save it as PNG | 20:31 |
| Sk1Special | 3. Open the PNG in Inkscape | 20:31 |

| Dr_Willis_ | !java | BigCanOfTuna | 20:45 |
| ubottu | BigCanOfTuna: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin.

Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 20:45 |

| Dr_Willis_ | titia: .sh -> shell script | 21:00 |
| Dr_Willis_ | titia: if you want to be sure - check the apps homepage and docs/wiki/forums | 21:00 |
| titia | is an installer always a .sh file? | 21:01 |
| Dr_Willis_ | titia: i see no actual 'installer' in that package. many apps that come precompiled do NOT have an installer. Yoi just exctract the archive and run the app from the directory it makes | 21:01 |
| flipper88_fl | titia: Not always depends on if you're compiling from sources | 21:01 |
| Dr_Willis_ | titia: the use of 'installer files' in linux/ubuntu is somewhat rare | 21:01 |
| Dr_Willis_ | titia: the more common way would be to find a PPA for whatever it is you are trying to install | 21:02 |

| Vivekananda | hey everyone Dr_Willis howdy | 21:03 |
| Vivekananda | where can i get a quickstart guide to ubuntu | 21:03 |
| titia | so what would you do? (easy, step by step please) | 21:03 |
| Vivekananda | for unity and things like quick search and all | 21:03 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: pasted... i hope | 21:04 |
| MonkeyDust | Vivekananda is this useful http://ubuntuguide.org/wiki/Ubuntu_Precise | 21:05 |
| MonkeyDust | (old link, moment) | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj | ok ful, now give us the resulting url after submitting the text | 21:05 |
| BluesKaj | fulange,^ | 21:05 |
| Dr_Willis | titia: from what i see.. you extact the archive and run that .sh file and that runs the app. | 21:05 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5952709/ | 21:06 |
| Vivekananda | MonkeyDust: I am very highly used to using kufper on lubuntu | 21:06 |
| titia | Dr_Willis: how do i put it in the menu? | 21:06 |
| Vivekananda | Dash is a similar thing but I want to know how to use it to the hilt | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | titia: or check out this google hit --> https://help.ubuntu.com/community/InstallKompozer | 21:06 |
| Dr_Willis | titia: make a .desktop file for it and put that file in the proper directory | 21:06 |
| k1l_ | Vivekananda: start from here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Unity | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | titia: or as that url i posted mentions.. there IS a ppa for it - that has .deb packages | 21:07 |
| titia | Dr_Willis: no but i prefer to try bluegriffon.... | 21:07 |
| petersaints | does anyone know how to remove Ubuntu from my UEFI boot options? I already tried efibootmgr from a Live USB but once I reboot it is there again. I could just ignore it but I'd really like to fix it. | 21:07 |
| BluesKaj | fulange, copy and paste this into the terminal , sudo dhclient -r eth0 && sudo dhclient eth0 , then try a browser to see if it connects | 21:07 |
| Dr_Willis | titia: so try it. run that .sh and see if it works | 21:08 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: im doing this on a separate pc, so no copy & paste lol give me a second... | 21:08 |
| Vivekananda | k1l_: just a quick question. How do I launch dash using keyboard and no mouse | 21:09 |
| Vivekananda | is there a default shortcut or do I create one ? | 21:09 |
| k1l_ | super key | 21:09 |
| BluesKaj | fulange, yes , of course , sorry about that | 21:09 |
| titia | does not work... maybe because i am in the guest session? | 21:09 |
| k1l_ | titia: you cant isntall stuff in guest session. that is the sense in the guest session | 21:10 |
| Dr_Willis | titia: run it from terminal. look for error messages. | 21:10 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: no joy. "cannont find device eth0 | 21:10 |
| Dr_Willis | hes not really 'installing stuff' hes running a binary from a .tar.gz archive | 21:10 |
| BluesKaj | fulange, well , did you have ubuntu working with 2nics previous to this install ? | 21:11 |
| Dr_Willis | and the binary that just worked for me was called 'bluegriffin' in that extracted directory the arvhicve made | 21:11 |
| Vivekananda | also another question . I downloaded vbox hdi file for ubuntu. the download zip has the virtual hd an danother file called virtualbox machine definition file. What is it for ? | 21:12 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: no, i was running windows. its now a dual boot. hilarious part? windows internet works fine | 21:13 |
| BluesKaj | fulange, which nic are you connecting with on windows ? | 21:14 |
| Dr_Willis | Vivekananda: i imagine its a settin file that vbox reads/imports to know how to setup the vm | 21:14 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: my card (gigabit ethernet adapter) same as on ubuntu | 21:14 |
| t-ubuntu | how do u remove xchat logs in Ubuntu? | 21:15 |
| t-ubuntu | Where is the folder or path? | 21:15 |
| titia | Dr_Willis: have a problem, have to go. i will try later. thank you for your help. you definitely do good to ubuntu (unlike those others before who were not nice...) thank you also to all the others who helped. bye bye :) | 21:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | did they rename "Additional Drivers" to something else when 12.10 or later was released? | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | TheLordOfTime: it got moved to a tab under 'software-sources' in 12.10+ i think | 21:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | Dr_Willis: ok | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | jockey-text (or was it jockey-cli) is still there | 21:15 |
| BluesKaj | fulange, and you tried the onboard connection as well. | 21:16 |
| BluesKaj | on the mobo | 21:16 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: indeed so | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | They really need to work on this habbit of changeing names.. and making some simple script/commands to get to the proper area. | 21:16 |
| Vivekananda | Dr_Willis: I was wondering if it wwas useless and I should delete it :) | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Be nice to have a 'addational-drivers' bianry that opened up the app to the right tab. ;) | 21:16 |
| Dr_Willis | Vivekananda: when in doubt. check the vbox manual. | 21:16 |
| Guest17612 | how much personal information does Ubuntu take from us when we are sending an error report? | 21:17 |
| BayaBaya | Hello guys, where can I get some help about kernel compilation? | 21:17 |
| BluesKaj | fulange, the only thing ai can think of is , sudo apt-get install --reinstall networkmanager , in the terminal | 21:18 |
| BluesKaj | ai = I | 21:18 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: unable to locate package! perhaps that is my problem? | 21:19 |
| Guest17612 | when i'm browsing the web and Ubuntu crashes, does the error report send the website information and such?? | 21:19 |
| BluesKaj | fulange, try the software center , networkmanager in the search | 21:20 |
| Dr_Willis | t-ubuntu: .xchat* or .config/xchat* would be my guess | 21:20 |
| fulange | BluesKaj: okay, i will. thanks for all the help blue. Ive gotta go get my kids from school, ill have to try it later. thanks for the help. | 21:21 |

| k1l_ | Guest17612: did you take a look into the privacy settings? | 21:24 |
| Guest17612 | can i just disable all of Zeigeist? or is it essential for the Ubuntu OS? | 21:25 |
| zteam | Guest17612, that can be turned off in the privacy settings on Ubuntu 13.04 | 21:25 |
| k1l_ | Guest17612: again: privacy settings | 21:25 |
| Guest17612 | ok i'll take a look | 21:25 |
| zteam | Guest17612, it should also be noted that Zeigeist that does not send your searches anywhere | 21:26 |
| Dr_Willis | t-ubuntu: the xchat homepage has docs on using it.. normally thers some .xchat* direcrory it keeps info in. | 21:26 |
| tripelb | from a root shell, how can i see a list of users? | 21:26 |
| k1l_ | yes, zeitgeist ist not bad at all. | 21:27 |

| t-ubuntu | If someone can give it to me? | 21:27 |
| irssi-mike | I can't get sound out of the right speaker, it worked before i lost power (knocked out the cord), i've tested the speaker in windows and it sounds fine but in ubuntu nothing. | 21:28 |
| blazemore | t-ubuntu: ~/.xchat or similar | 21:28 |
| t-ubuntu | ok | 21:28 |
| gordonjcp | irssi-mike: right-click the wee speaker thing in the top right, pull up the sound settings, and check the correct output is set | 21:28 |
| blazemore | t-ubuntu: In your home directory. Files that start with a dot are hidden from the file manager list | 21:28 |
| Guest17612 | is it safe to use this purge command? just wondering http://customizeubuntu.com/preferences/privacy/disabling-privacy-invasive-zeitgeist | 21:29 |
| k1l_ | Guest17612: again: what is wrong with the privacy settings? | 21:29 |
| t-ubuntu | k | 21:29 |
| irssi-mike | gordonjcp: looks the same as always, after the cord was knocked out it said "restore starting sound card mixer state fail" at boot up so i reloaded the drivers and the message went away but the speaker still has no sound | 21:30 |
| zteam | Guest17612, Removing that package should not create any real issues for you as far as I know, but, don't see why you don't just use the privacy settings instead | 21:31 |
| tripelb | blazemore: got acct name. but i get error on reset, viz: passwd: Authentication token manipulation error : | 21:31 |
| blazemore | tripelb: What are you trying to do, exactly? | 21:31 |
| kingbeast | When saving a bash script, what extension do I use? .sh? | 21:31 |
| blazemore | kingbeast: It doesn't matter, but the convention is .sh | 21:31 |
| kingbeast | thanks blazemore | 21:32 |
| blazemore | kingbeast: On Linux, there's nothing actually special about the part after the last dot in the filename; it's more of a "clue" | 21:32 |
| irssi-mike | gordonjcp: the command was http://pastebin.com/xYN1nXzf | 21:32 |
| Dr_Willis | kingbeast: the first line of the bash script is more improtnat then the name/extension | 21:32 |
| kingbeast | blazemore, Okay, I was just curious. Trying to write one to add to my cron jobs to sync my Gdrive with grive. | 21:33 |
| Guest17612 | zteam, since i won't use it it is probably best to just purge is, it may even use less system resources | 21:34 |
| blazemore | kingbeast: just make sure the first line is "#! /bin/bash" and you'll be great :) | 21:34 |
| Dr_Willis | kingbeast: theres dozens if not hunderds of 'commands' that are actually bash scripts with no .sh at the end. ;) | 21:34 |

| gordonjcp | tripelb: you've read all that, right? | 21:35 |
| kingbeast | thanks blazemore and Dr_Willis | 21:35 |
| Guest17612 | i'm sure it takes processing power and memory to log everything you do on your Ubuntu computer "Zeitgeist is a service which logs the user's activities and events (files opened, websites visited, conversations hold with other people, etc.) and makes the information available to other applications." | 21:35 |
| gordonjcp | Guest17612: not much, in the grand scheme of things | 21:35 |
| zteam | Guest17612, if you turn a feature off, it won't use any resources at all, a side from a a few Megabytes on your harddrive that is | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest17612: I imagine the flash banner ads in your browser suck down more cpu/memory | 21:36 |
| gordonjcp | Guest17612: every so often it'll rattle through some files and index them a bit like slocate does | 21:36 |
| blazemore | Guest17612: It doesn't make a whole lot of difference, why don't you try with and without, and see? | 21:36 |
| kingbeast | oh one more blazemore it would probably be best for me to add that one to the daily crons right? | 21:36 |
| Guest17612 | Dr_Willis, Flash Block addon :P | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Guest17612: thats taking cpu also! | 21:36 |
| blazemore | kingbeast: Well that entirely depends on what you want to do... | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Must conserve cpu! cant let it get over 1%! ;P | 21:36 |
| k1l_ | Guest17612: in the end its a service. its not intended to spy on you. you are focusing on the wrong part | 21:36 |
| zteam | Guest17612, But uninstall it if you want, just remember to check to see so that APT wouldn't remove anything you really want on the ride :) | 21:37 |
| Dr_Willis | zegtiest is handy if you do a lot of word processing/doc/image/video creation to keep track of things | 21:37 |

| * wilee-nilee imagines the sky is falling | 21:39 | |
| k1l_ | Guest17612: in that case it coule read the data anyway. so there is no reason for or against zeitgeist | 21:39 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: recovery console? as root you should be able to do 'passwd username' and set a new password.. or do you mean you are on a live cd? | 21:40 |
| Guest17612 | is it safe to u=purge geoclue also? "GeoClue is a software framework that enables geospatial awareness in applications. In human language: physical location tracking software." | 21:40 |
| zteam | Guest17612, If you have a malicious application installed on tour software, you have far more to worry about, than zeitgeist to get your filenames | 21:40 |

| k1l_ | Guest17612: if you dont want it, remove it. but dont use that false arguments to justify it | 21:41 |

| k1l_ | Guest17612: but be aware that alot of desktop-apps/services rely on that both services. | 21:42 |
| Guest17612 | k1l_, what else does Ubuntu OS need Geoclue for, besides tracking your location to give you the correct time? | 21:43 |

| thecodethinker | I just built and installed ogre and for some reason the lib isn't being detected. It's in the /usr/local/lib path and that path is in ld.so.conf.... so why isn't any program finding that lib | 21:51 |
| Scub | an rm -rf will not go to any lost and found, but it will leave the inode intact | 21:51 |

| rendoorf | Ok. I don't want it just want to make sure it's gone. Thanks. I'll look into shred. | 21:53 |
| tripelb | Dr_Willis: since i do not understand "remount to be read write" then i did not do it. ---- context. i have done this in earlier ubuntus like 9.04 .. and no problem. i feel ignorant, even dense. | 21:54 |
| tripelb | jrib what is the exact command you want me to run, please. | 21:55 |
| jrib | tripelb: what is the output of « mount » | 21:55 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: / is mounted read only. You cant write to the password file - thus cant change the password | 21:58 |

| blazemore | tripelb: The answer is mount -rw -o remount / | 22:06 |
| gotwig | I can understand why click packages are so important for canonical. Apt-get is very very slow | 22:07 |
| Dr_Willis | hmm.. slightly differnt syntax then -> mount -o remount,rw / | 22:07 |
| Dr_Willis | guessing -rw is a shortcut for -o rw | 22:07 |
| georoot | hi can someone help me how to make disk image from source code | 22:07 |
| blazemore | georoot: What are you actually trying to do? | 22:08 |
| gotwig | can you tell me how so..? I use magaia right now with rpmdrake, before that I used yum , and damn, you dont believe me how fast it is. about 14 packages , 120 mb, installed in under 20 seconds | 22:08 |
| georoot | well i tried compiling according to lfs | 22:08 |
| georoot | and was successfull | 22:08 |
| gotwig | georoot: ? | 22:08 |
| tripelb | i Dr_Willis Bingo. the command DID NOT CHANGE THE OUTPUT OF MOUNT (huh) but it did let me change the password. Thank you. ty blazemore too. // AND how where what can I read to learn more, how yo inderstand linux shell commands. not everything or i will be overwhelmed. just more than learn code the hard way. | 22:08 |
| georoot | now i want to know how to make iso distro | 22:08 |
| blazemore | !details | georoot What are you ACTUALLY trying to do? | 22:08 |
| ubottu | georoot What are you ACTUALLY trying to do?: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 22:08 |
| gotwig | georoot: do you want to do an ubuntu spin? | 22:09 |
| georoot | i compiled my custom linux os on my system. but i dont know how to create .iso disk image.I tried using makeisoof but it didnt seem to work out | 22:10 |
| tripelb | now.. please, how do i see the windows partitions so i can store files on them. (why was it easy on gnome2 and no longer?) | 22:10 |
| gotwig | georoot: dont ask here, but on the linux from scratch channel o.0 lol | 22:10 |
| gotwig | tripelb: ? | 22:11 |
| gotwig | tripelb: try to find them with "Disk utility" | 22:11 |
| blazemore | tripelb: It is in the sidebar of the file manager | 22:11 |
| Vivekananda | I used the downloaded vdi for virtualbox. I am trying to find all possible resolutions for the ubuntu inside but the vdi install but it does not gimme all the options | 22:12 |
| gotwig | Vivekananda: "resolutions" ? | 22:12 |
| tripelb | gotwig i am here. plus now unity thinks i am on a laptop and all the text is huge so i cannot get to the display window buttons to change it. blazemore | 22:13 |
| gotwig | tripelb: unity does not scale things up | 22:13 |
| Vivekananda | gotwig: I went into appearance and displays | 22:13 |
| tripelb | blazemore: when i put in a disk i see it therek | 22:14 |
| Vivekananda | but I dont find the correct resolution ie 1600 by 900 for the screen | 22:14 |
| gotwig | Vivekananda: oh, maybe you miss the guest addition drivers? | 22:14 |
| tripelb | blazemore but no other partitions are there. now what? | 22:14 |
| Vivekananda | gotwig: where do I enable it ? | 22:15 |
| Vivekananda | I have not done any special setup yet | 22:15 |
| gotwig | Vivekananda: well, you gotta have to install it | 22:15 |
| blazemore | tripelb: if you run the command "sudo fdisk -l" do you see, in the output, anything which looks like it might be your Windows drive? | 22:15 |
| spikespiegel | has anyone's system ever just felt sluggish after an install as if something didn't go right during install? | 22:15 |
| Vivekananda | I just installed the vbox in win7 and started up the vdi image also downloaded | 22:16 |
| blazemore | Vivekananda: In order to get the best experience running Ubuntu inside Virtualbox, you need to install the Guest Additions | 22:16 |
| blazemore | Vivekananda: This will give you way more features including more resolutions, pointer sharing and stuff. Look on the Virtualbox website | 22:16 |
| tripelb | gotwig gisk utility sees pata host adaptor under which is the 80g hd and that ahows an unmounted 34 g partition (there are more) i clicked on mount still nothing in l-sidebar | 22:18 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: when in doubt check output of 'mount' to see if got mounted. | 22:19 |
| Dr_Willis | tripelb: or try mounting by hand to look for errors with mounting it. | 22:19 |
| tripelb | i cannot see the entire screen nor change it from laptop. (whines and cries) | 22:19 |

| wilee-nilee | ;) had to boot to W8 | 22:22 |
| daftykins | toottut: unetbootin has some flaws with UEFI in particular - if you're not booting in legacy mode, remake it with something else | 22:23 |

| daftykins | huh? | 22:25 |
| daftykins | i don't understand what you're asking | 22:25 |
| wilee-nilee | copy=backup here | 22:25 |
| toottut | sorry, i meant this isn't the cause of corrupted dl file is it? | 22:25 |
| daftykins | toottut: what's the cause of a corrupted - DLL? Windows DLL? i really have no idea what you mean | 22:26 |
| daftykins | wilee-nilee: are you dd'ing it to disk and it's getting stuck at the exact same point? | 22:27 |
| pvl1 | wilee-nilee: pm me | 22:27 |

| wilee-nilee | daftykins, I did try a dd and it did not work, but I'm not up on dd | 22:28 |
| tripelb | i wanted a partition list. Did info fdisk to learn. but >fdisk -l /dev/sda answered with cannot open /dev/sda --- what do i say to get a list? | 22:28 |
| daftykins | wilee-nilee: did it terminate at a given spot? could be ARCCoS | 22:28 |
| pvl1 | tripelb: sudo | 22:29 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: newer dvd released in the last few years - CAN have exctra copy protection that prevents DD from copying them | 22:29 |
| daftykins | tripelb: 'sudo fdisk -l' with no further parameters will do fine | 22:29 |
| wilee-nilee | daftykins, I forget, I should be doing this in linux though, Im in MS now so I will ask again later. | 22:29 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, I think that is the problem a brand new barely old release. | 22:30 |
| tux_ | hey | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: - I had to resort to useing wine and 'dvdfab' to copy some newer disks | 22:30 |

| tux_ | but it goes into sleep mode or something | 22:30 |
| tux_ | how can I change that? | 22:30 |
| wilee-nilee | daftykins, Yeah, bu my memory is faulty is all. | 22:30 |
| wilee-nilee | but* | 22:30 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: i ended up using dvdfab to rip/image/deprotect the disk to make a copy i could watch in the dvd player | 22:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, Looking at that right now thanks. ;) | 22:31 |
| Loshki | wilee-nilee: dvdbackup or vobcopy may work. The ultimate ripper is probably windows Anydvd | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: i also wrote a rather nasty review about it on amazon ;) you wouldent think 'The Love Boat Season 1' would need such drastic copy protection.. | 22:32 |
| daftykins | wilee-nilee: DVD decrypter under Windows is worth a try ofc | 22:32 |
| Dr_Willis | wilee-nilee: dvdfab does work in wine. ;) or at least it used to. not tried the others. | 22:32 |
| tux_ | HEY my god damn system goes to sleep after 10 minutes or so, how can I change that? | 22:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Dr_Willis, Heh, TMI. ;) | 22:32 |
| wilee-nilee | That was a funny show though | 22:33 |
| pvl1 | tux_: what system | 22:33 |

| wilee-nilee | daftykins, Thanks I will check it out. | 22:33 |

| pvl1 | tux_: this is n ubuntu support channel | 22:34 |

| tux_ | who cares, just suggest something | 22:34 |
| tripelb | Dr_Willis: et al. ok all my partitions are there on fdisk. >mount does not list them at all... only stui like proc sysfs udev devpts ... so what about my sda1..6 (it does list /dev/sda5 which is the ubuntu partition. | 22:34 |

| proxypirate | hey guys i am trying to update all of my installed ports when i ran into a few errors, i was able to fix the errors from ruby-gems but now i have run into a build error with "libstreams" and i am not sure exactly how to fix this error, can someone look at this pastebin i have uploaded and see if you might know how to resolve this problem: http://pastebin.com/izjZFnUD | 22:36 |
| proxypirate | http://pastebin.com/izjZFnUD | 22:36 |
| proxypirate | oops | 22:36 |
| tripelb | blazemore: thanks. i just saw yr fdisk suggestion (had to think it up on my own. now we are in synch ): et al. ok all my partitions are there on fdisk. >mount does not list them at all... only stui like proc sysfs udev devpts ... so what about my sda1..6 (it does list /dev/sda5 which is the ubuntu partition. | 22:36 |
| MotherMGA | pvl1: I installed the adobe flash plugin from the software center | 22:36 |
| proxypirate | the only thing i can think of is possibly deinstalling the libstreams package from ports and then try and update the ports again with portmaster...? | 22:36 |
| MotherMGA | pvl1: I think that is only firefox though. I don't think I've configured anything for chromium. | 22:37 |
| daftykins | proxypirate: wouldn't reading the error about xterm and looking it up be the best plan first? | 22:38 |

| daftykins | proxypirate: see line 42 | 22:39 |
| daftykins | proxypirate: actually maybe that one's just informational | 22:40 |
| proxypirate | hmmm...ya i dont think thats an actual error | 22:40 |
| daftykins | maybe just try the suggestion it makes then, yeah | 22:40 |
| proxypirate | and i set my locale to UTF-8 with EXPORT for the time being while i build the packages | 22:40 |

| tripelb | blazemore: just telling you cause it seems paradoxical. | 22:56 |

| reactor16 | what you said ? | 23:30 |
| reactor16 | i'm newbie samething ? | 23:30 |
| jrib | reactor16: it probably has to seek to find your file (I guess; we should look up how tar is implemented), but I doubt it decompresses everything to disk. | 23:31 |

| javier_ | Hi! I have problems with my wireless router since a long time that I couldn't fix even asking to some helpful people on this chat. But, sometimes ago, we decided to install wicd together with network manager to see if there was any improvement. There wasn't, but now I have both of them together and there are some conflicts. I would like to unistall wicd, but "sudo apt-get remove wicd" will make my internet to dissapear completelly (I believe it removes a nm | 23:38 |
| javier_ | dependency with it). How could I unistall wicd and go back to the normal default configuration of nm,? Thanks a lot! | 23:38 |
| jrib | reactor16: http://www.gnu.org/software/tar/manual/html_node/Standard.html that suggests to me tar reads the first header block, skips to the next (because it has filesize), skips to the next, etc. while looking for your file. | 23:38 |
| alfacard | ar15nut ar15nut ar15nut ar15nut !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | 23:39 |
| reactor16 | jrib, what to do ? | 23:40 |
| jrib | reactor16: leave it while you sleep? | 23:40 |
| reactor16 | my god | 23:40 |
| daftykins | javier_: perhaps remove wicd then reinstall network-manager by package name | 23:41 |
| reactor16 | jrib, thank you anyway | 23:41 |
| reactor16 | i don't have choice | 23:42 |
| juls | hi everyone | 23:43 |
| juls | i need some help | 23:43 |
| javier_ | daftykins, that's something stange there. If I do sudo apt-get remove wicd, and I remove wicd (successfully), I go and take a look at the processes and tehre is a wicd process from the user root. I actually can still find wicd in the program list on the launcher... what' happening? | 23:43 |
| javier_ | daftykins, could it be the file wicd-daemon which is still there? If I make sudo apt-get remove wicd-daemon, i won't see more wicd processes, neither the program on the list, but network manager will not be able to connect neither (not even a wired connection) | 23:44 |
| juls | javier- kill de process and them run de comand in console aptitude remove --purge *** here *** is de name of the program | 23:45 |
| javier_ | daftykins, i think that the daemon from wicd has been installed instead of the nm daemon (if such thing exists) | 23:45 |
| daftykins | javier_: well you'd likely need to restart / logout+in to kill it permanently | 23:45 |
| juls | aptitude remove --purge wicd | 23:45 |
| javier_ | daftykins, juls, ok, I will try to restart and see how it looks like. If wicd is still there, I will try juls option. Thanks! | 23:46 |
| juls | i need some help i have ipod touch 4g ios 6.1.2 and xubuntu 12.04 | 23:46 |
| juls | but mi ipod does mount automaticly | 23:46 |
| juls | when i run lsusb is there | 23:47 |
| juls | someone can help me? | 23:47 |
| juls | please help me | 23:49 |
| javier_ | daftykins, juls, it's as weird as I said. There is still wicd there, executed by root user, after log in/out. Sudo apt-get remove --purge wicd doesn't work, says: wicd is not installed, so not removed | 23:49 |
| daftykins | javier_: anything wicd related left in /etc/init.d ? | 23:50 |
| daftykins | javier_: i think putting nm back on is more pertinent than being paranoid wicd remains | 23:51 |
| === FreakingShower is now known as FreakingBEER | ||
| javier_ | daftykins, but how to put it back? if I say sudo apt-get install network-manager, says it's already installed | 23:52 |
| javier_ | daftykins, but I find conflict between them, and have to manually stop wicd each time for nm to connect | 23:52 |
| Lobosque | I have a raid 10 using intel matrix raid (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Matrix_RAID), When I try to install ubuntu, it does not recognize the raid partition. Is there a way to fix this? (I tried to install 13.04) | 23:52 |
| daftykins | javier_: interesting | 23:52 |
| daftykins | javier_: do sudo apt-get install --reinstall network-manager | 23:53 |
| daftykins | Lobosque: is it seeing individual disks instead? | 23:53 |
| Lobosque | daftykins, I don't remember now, I'm back on windows =x, but I think so | 23:54 |
| cuddylier | How do I check the ports used on an IP? | 23:54 |
| MoPac | Hello - I know this sounds like a stupid "Google it" question, but I'm looking for documentation on the ubuntu software center sync functionality, and I can't seem to find it. Who is storing the information about installed packages? How is it encrypted? etc | 23:55 |
| MoPac | cuddylier: Net Activity Viewer is a handy tool for that | 23:55 |
| gr33n7007h | cuddylier, nmap | 23:55 |
| daftykins | Lobosque: i see it needs managing with mdam or similar, not sure if that means you need to install/configure something before you can install to such a RAID - no experience i'm afraid | 23:55 |
| cuddylier | MoPac I was using the command sudo netstat -lpn |grep :8123 to see the ports used on any IP | 23:56 |
| cuddylier | There is no way to specify an IP with netstat? | 23:56 |
| daftykins | cuddylier: you want to see what ports are *listening* ? | 23:56 |
| cuddylier | Yes | 23:56 |
| cuddylier | Well being used | 23:56 |
| daftykins | on the local system? | 23:56 |
| cuddylier | Yes | 23:56 |
| daftykins | netstat -tuln i usually use | 23:56 |
| cuddylier | I am on SSH for the system | 23:56 |
| cuddylier | I want to see the active ports for a specific IP on the system though | 23:57 |
| daftykins | oh it has multiple interfaces? | 23:57 |
| daftykins | i'll bet netstat's man page has info on that | 23:57 |
| juls | please i8 need help i dont know how mount ipod touch 4g with xubutu 12.04 | 23:57 |
| juls | the ipod doesnt mount automatticly | 23:57 |
| daftykins | juls: by 'mount' it - do you mean for syncing music? just running a music program surely would work | 23:58 |
| hw4ng3r | exit | 23:58 |
