| jKlaus | Hey all.. anyone else running ubuntu 13.04 with a Lenovo T430? | 00:00 |
| javier_ | still at the same point. In synaptic I see I have installed wicd-daemon, python-wc and wicd-gtk, so that explains why I can execute wicd. But, if I remove those packets, I loose every posibility of connection. Someone know which are the network manager dependencies that may have been replaced? I could then install them before removind wicd's | 00:00 |
| jKlaus | I have a NVS 5400M .. I just tried the 3xx series driver and it seemed to ruin my desktop interface | 00:00 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: What specifically does the problem look like? I've had a lot of trouble with such drivers and some mixed success with solving them | 00:01 |
| MoPac | (though on different makes of computer) | 00:01 |
| daftykins | javier_: well you definitely want to ditch wicd-gtk and wicd-daemon | 00:02 |
| jKlaus | MoPac. well I have actually had 2 issues occur. The first install I had used the default driver while doing dual monitors.. It worked alright for dual monitors but when I disconnected the dual the resolution was all messed up.. the desktop its was ok but any application I opened was all messed up | 00:02 |
| Ziber | So, how I can get a full install of vncviewer instead of this really minimal program? | 00:02 |
| daftykins | juls: can you pastebin "sudo fdisk -l" ? | 00:02 |
| jKlaus | MoPac, the more recent issue has just been failing to load the desktop after upgrading to the 3xx series driver | 00:03 |
| jKlaus | loads the background but no UI | 00:03 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: So do you login, and then it just brins you back to the login screen? | 00:03 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: ah, okay, I see | 00:03 |
| jKlaus | Nope.. just logs me in to the wallpaper lol | 00:03 |

| FloodBot1 | juls: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 00:04 |
| jKlaus | I can ctrl + alt + t to bring up terminal but even the terminal doesn't act 'right' | 00:04 |
| MoPac | So what may have heppend is that OpenGL, Unity, etc and the plugins they work with got disabled in Compiz during your upgrade | 00:04 |
| reactor16 | jrib, what if i delete folders that have big space like /usr/lib /etc it take long too ? | 00:04 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: Do you have ccsm? | 00:04 |
| jKlaus | Mopac.. I'm kind of thinking I should just do a clean install of 12.04 | 00:04 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: If you don't, then in your terminal, type sudo apt-get install compizconfig-settings-manager | 00:05 |
| jKlaus | I really don't want something I have to tinker with to get working all the time.. I left Arch for Ubuntu to get away from that | 00:05 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: Try this before you reinstall -- once you have that program, open it using the terminal (command "ccsm") | 00:05 |
| daftykins | juls: you have to use a site like paste.ubuntu.com or pastebin.com | 00:05 |
| jKlaus | alright | 00:05 |
| jKlaus | But do you foresee this as being a constant problem? | 00:06 |
| MoPac | And see if either as you , or as sudo ("sudo ccsm") you can reactivate the OpenGL, Unity, and dependent plugins | 00:06 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: In the cases where this has fixed it for me, it's fixed it for good | 00:06 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: But I haven't always been able to fix it this way | 00:06 |
| jKlaus | Yeah but are there other issues with 13.04? | 00:06 |
| juls | ok and in poster what i put there | 00:06 |
| FoxyRK9 | hi | 00:07 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: I don't think this is an issue with 13.04 as opposed to earlier versions. It's more of a general problem with updatin nvidia drivers on some machines that I've had | 00:07 |
| juls | i dont know use paste.ubuntu.com | 00:07 |
| FoxyRK9 | what linux program can I download that will help me convert .m3u to .wmp format | 00:07 |
| jKlaus | Hmm, well I never used to have any issues with ubuntu.. 9.04-11.10 were great | 00:08 |
| boog | FoxyRK9, m3u is just a playlist file (just text inside) | 00:08 |
| jKlaus | shoot I think i've been using ubuntu since 6 something maybe? | 00:08 |
| === phunyguy_ is now known as phunyguy | ||
| FoxyRK9 | yes but my Mp3 layer is not picking them up | 00:08 |
| FoxyRK9 | Sony walkaman S Sries | 00:08 |
| boog | edit them to point at the location that the mp3/wmp live on the player | 00:09 |
| FoxyRK9 | so just cut and paste them fro their locations to the playlist folder? | 00:09 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: One other thing that sometimes works like a stupid miracle is just deleting the .Xauthority file from your home directory and restarting | 00:09 |
| jKlaus | Thanks though MoPac.. I'll give that a try. If it doesn't do it I still have 12.04 on disk upstairs | 00:10 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: I have a computer where I got too frustrated yesterday with basically the problem you're describing | 00:10 |
| boog | you should be able to open them with a text editor like gedit, and see the file location (file tree). I'm not familiar with that player, but I have used m3u files | 00:10 |
| MoPac | I reinstalled with 13.04 because there were other cleanups I wanted to do, and I've just stuck with the Xorg opensource drivers | 00:11 |
| jKlaus | MoPac, did you resolve the issue? | 00:11 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: In the past, I've always been able to resolve it one way or another with enough work, but yesterday I sort of had an "F*** you, not this again" moment, realized I wanted to redo my partitions anyway, and so reinstalled | 00:11 |

| === jje is now known as jimerickson | ||
| jKlaus | MoPac.. see to me if you're having this kind of an issue that often.. something wasn't ready for release | 00:13 |
| MoPac | jKlaus: Yeah, but it's something that also wasn't ready in 12.X versions | 00:13 |
| juls | qhen i run fdisck -l the result is http://paste.ubuntu.com/5953222/ | 00:14 |
| cuddylier | Anyone know a way to find active ports on a specific IP? E.g. sudo netstat -lpn |grep :25565 | 00:14 |
| jKlaus | Maybe I'm still just thinking in the mindset of a conversation i had with a friend a while ago.. we both feel like there has been a decline in the quality of opensource software over the past couple/few years | 00:14 |
| jKlaus | MoPac yeah but if you can't make it at least as stable as the prior 'version', even if it is a complete re-write, then just keep it in testing until it is as stable | 00:15 |
| wilee-nilee | MoPac, Please read the channel topic on language this is a family channel. | 00:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | is there a way to disable update manager's autoupdating feature and notifying of an "old database" of update information on 12.04? | 00:15 |
| TheLordOfTime | because I run apt-get update / apt-get upgrade myself in terminal when I want to update | 00:15 |
| jKlaus | At work I couldn't completely re-write someone's system, add all kinds of new functionality, but make the existing functionality less stable | 00:16 |
| jKlaus | my ass would be bouncing off the curb.. lol | 00:16 |
| MoPac | wilee-nilee: I inserted those asterisks myself... | 00:16 |
| wilee-nilee | TheLordOfTime, I'm not sure ubuntu updates anything with you clicking. | 00:17 |
| jKlaus | Alright, MoPac.. I'm going to try your fix.. fingers crossed | 00:17 |
| wilee-nilee | without* | 00:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | wilee-nilee: i just want to disable it's notification system | 00:17 |
| MoPac | TheLordOfTime: In the "software and updates" program, under "updates" | 00:17 |
| TheLordOfTime | wilee-nilee: and to stop it from popping up "Update Manager" when there's updates | 00:17 |
| juls | please help my ipod cant mount automaticly | 00:17 |
| wilee-nilee | TheLordOfTime, Would be in software sources. | 00:17 |
| juls | when i run lsusb that its http://paste.ubuntu.com/5953226/ | 00:18 |
| boog | juls, did you look in settings > removeable drives and media | 00:18 |
| juls | media is empty | 00:18 |
| MoPac | TheLordOfTime: In the "updates" tab of "software and updates" GUI program, you can set the auto-check to "never". You can also set it to keep checking but only to notify you as little as every two weeks | 00:18 |
| TheLordOfTime | MoPac: wilee-nilee: found it, i set "Automatic Updates" to "never" | 00:19 |
| boog | no, hit the menu button then settings, open settings manager, and make sure that auto mount of removeable drives is set | 00:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | and i'll update myself :) | 00:19 |
| TheLordOfTime | thanks to you both! | 00:19 |
| xkernel | how to automatically run filesystem check on boot on encrypted lvm hdd? | 00:19 |
| wilee-nilee | TheLordOfTime, Cool I figured that was there in 12.04. | 00:20 |
| lucidium | I'm trying to get X11 to start with the "radeon" driver, but it appears to fail and fall back to VESA in Xorg.0.log with the error "Screen 0 deleted because of no matching config section". I don't even have an xorg.conf file. Do I need to make one? | 00:20 |
| daftykins | boog: it looks like it's just Thunar lacking Nautilus' GVFS usage which auto mounts apple device fs' | 00:21 |
| boog | ahhh, ok. I just had it in my head that it would be a windows formatted ipod | 00:21 |
| TheLordOfTime | wilee-nilee: i had to sneak around and use Synaptic to get to Software Sources because reasons, but it worked... i think | 00:23 |
| TheLordOfTime | we'll see :P | 00:23 |

| zao2k13 | in displays, it shows my compaq 7550 crt capable of 1600x1200, as a laptop display only capable of 1024x768. that is the first part of the issue i'm having. | 01:40 |
| === cinderweb is now known as cinderwebafk | ||
| zao2k13 | The second part, is the gpu which is a nvidia quadro fx 5500 agp card. i have followed numerous guides on the web and to no avail? | 01:41 |

| bnijk | im about to suicide from nvidia zao2k13 | 01:45 |
| zao2k13 | as am i. | 01:45 |
| zao2k13 | i remember when the drivers for this card worked so smoothly | 01:45 |
| bnijk | i installed two versions of arch..siwtched to ubuntu | 01:45 |
| bnijk | realized my card has optimus on my brand new laptop i just bought for opengl development | 01:45 |
| zao2k13 | well the installing of the gpu drivers and settings | 01:45 |

| nakp | hello, is there any way to prevent pulse to restore default volumes after each stream stops? or any option to set them by default? | 02:13 |
| nakp | I tried alsactl store but I cant use restore each time music stops for a while and my ears will bleed if it keeps setting headphones to 100 | 02:14 |
| pvl1 | nakp: alsamixer? | 02:15 |
| nakp | i tried with alsamixer, I think its pulseaudio the one which restores the volumes | 02:15 |
| nakp | going to alsamixer I can change the volume of each channel, but after a while, if I pause music, when I resume it the headphones are set to 100 again | 02:16 |

| === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry | ||

| Vivekananda | also another issue. am using ubuntu 12.04 vdi on vbox. the default login was ubuntu and i changed both the name and pass. now when I log into cups it takes in the original name "ubuntu" but the new pass . What is this mess | 02:24 |

| Vivekananda | jrib: I just saw it and trying to do it | 02:48 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: I would advise you not follow it. | 02:48 |
| Vivekananda | jrib: crazy good or crazy bad | 02:48 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: bad | 02:48 |
| Vivekananda | okay then I have the same problem | 02:48 |
| Vivekananda | what should I do | 02:48 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: what problem? | 02:48 |
| Vivekananda | I have a funny situation | 02:49 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: hurry, it's almost my bed time ;) | 02:50 |
| Vivekananda | a couple of problems actually but each in turn . first my situation . I have a vdi (vbox) of ubuntu 12.04 in win 7. Now I changed both the deafault username and pass but now for some reason the username is still ubuntu but the pass is the new one ( as the guy says in the tuto) | 02:50 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: why don't you just make a new account? | 02:50 |
| Vivekananda | I tried to log into cups and it took the usernmae " ubuntu" and pass as the new one | 02:51 |
| Vivekananda | no | 02:51 |
| Vivekananda | I just went into the gui | 02:51 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: define "the gui" | 02:51 |
| Vivekananda | and changed the defualt username and pass for the vid | 02:51 |
| Vivekananda | in the user accounts gui | 02:51 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: I don't understand what you want to do. | 02:51 |
| Vivekananda | okay again . in the user accounts gui the default username and pass were , ubuntu and reverse, I changed both in there | 02:52 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: why don't you just make a new account? | 02:52 |
| Vivekananda | but when I open a terminal I see a ubuntu@.... | 02:52 |
| Vivekananda | not the new name basant@ | 02:52 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: stop. Why does making a new account not accomplish what you are trying to do? | 02:52 |
| Vivekananda | jrib: lol you are not answering my question but giving me another question :) | 02:53 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: I have yet to see a question | 02:53 |
| Vivekananda | coz I dont want my computer to be named ubuntu | 02:53 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: so you want to change the hostname of your computer? | 02:53 |
| Vivekananda | my question. How do I chage the hostname yes | 02:53 |
| Vivekananda | to basant and not the default ubuntu | 02:53 |
| jrib | !hostname | Vivekananda | 02:53 |
| ubottu | Vivekananda: Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 02:53 |
| Vivekananda | also how is it that the password changed but the hostname remained the same | 02:53 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: the password is one thing and the hostname is another, different, thing | 02:54 |
| Vivekananda | I changed the hostname to basant and its password to xyz. | 02:54 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: hostnames don't have passwords; you aren't making sense. | 02:54 |
| Vivekananda | now the funny thing is that although I seethe hostname ( in user accounts) as "basant" yet the one on terminal is stillubuntu but it now accepts the new password | 02:55 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: I doubt you see the hostname in user accounts. If you want to change your computer's hostname, follow the steps ubottu outlined | 02:55 |
| Vivekananda | jrib my use case is this | 02:55 |
| Hexagonite | Anyone know an alternative to Unetbootin? Startup Disk Creator doesn't quite work. | 02:57 |
| Vivekananda | I looked online and found the default username password . I then opened "User Accounts" and there I saw that the Administrator username is "ubuntu" and the password is " reverse" . I clicked on "ubunt" and it allowed me to retype a new one so I typed basant | 02:57 |
| Vivekananda | and then I changed the pass | 02:57 |
| Vivekananda | with me ? | 02:57 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: no. You asked how to change hostname and I told you how. If you need to know something else, just ask your question (in one line). | 02:57 |
| Vivekananda | now I expect that everywhere the name "ubuntu" was used ( as admin) I should see basant but I dont | 02:58 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: did you change your hostname yet (following the steps ubottu gave you)...? | 02:58 |
| jrib | Vivekananda: it's time for me to sleep now; good night | 02:59 |

| holstein | dlaflamme: if you are asking "should i buy a chromebook to run ubuntu on?".. that would be opinion...but, if ubuntu support is the intention,i would suggest soemthing like system76 that ships with it | 03:08 |
| fishcooker | how to jellow | 03:08 |

| Vivekananda | hey everyone | 03:11 |
| Vivekananda | I tried changing hostname in /hosts and /hostname but still I see ubuntu@ubuntu-VirtualBox in the terminal | 03:11 |
| holstein | dlaflamme: the hardware support will likely not be as good as what is intended to run on the device.. if you buy a system76 machine, the batter life will be the same in linux, for example | 03:12 |
| holstein | dlaflamme: i searched "ubuntu chromebook" back when they first came out and found info | 03:13 |
| dlaflamme | holstein: yeah, i'll have to do some research to see how good the system76 install makes use of the new haswell chipset | 03:13 |
| holstein | dlaflamme: i dont think the chromebook has a haswell chipset | 03:14 |

| Vivekananda | holstein: :( I like it the way it is set up | 03:46 |
| Vivekananda | and is working fine albeit the stupid username | 03:46 |
| Vivekananda | also I downloaded from vbox official site | 03:46 |
| Vivekananda | so cannot I use it ? | 03:46 |
| Vivekananda | and simply change the username | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | just make a new user - or dont owrry about the username | 03:46 |
| Vivekananda | I already changed it | 03:46 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: make a new user with a "less stupid" name | 03:46 |
| dr_willis | sudo adduser billgates | 03:47 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: already did | 03:47 |
| dr_willis | ;^) | 03:47 |
| Vivekananda | should I then delete this one ? | 03:47 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: there are no official ubuntu VM's, so i would ask whoever maintains the image you have for help | 03:47 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: BADDD | 03:47 |
| Vivekananda | really ? | 03:47 |
| dr_willis | i do NOT suggest deleteing the other users | 03:47 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you can delete the user, if you want | 03:47 |
| holstein | i would leave it in place as well | 03:47 |
| Vivekananda | what are these then http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/ ? | 03:47 |
| holstein | but, i would get the official ubuntu version, and make my own.. an install takes about 8 minutes | 03:47 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: from virtualbox | 03:48 |
| dr_willis | those are not official by ubuntu | 03:48 |
| Vivekananda | yes so is it different from the oracle one ? | 03:48 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: I can reinstall sure but can I not just change usernames? | 03:48 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: if you are saying "i installed ubuntu and im having issues with it", all im saying is, thats not officially ubuntu | 03:48 |
| Vivekananda | I mean how difficult can it be ? | 03:48 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you can do what you want, but i have no idea whats up with that VM | 03:49 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: we done maintain it | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | its possible that vm did somthing weird, or has some other weird settings that are breaking the normal way to change a users name | 03:49 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: you *should* be able to add a user.. if you cant, or are having issues, i dont know how to troubleshoot it, since i dont know anything about where it comes from | 03:49 |
| dr_willis | i have to wonder whats so differnt about that vm that you perfer it to the default ubuntu | 03:49 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: okay I got that part . I am just saying that shouldn't changing /etc/hosts and /hostname resolve this isse :) | 03:50 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: changeing hosts and hostname do NOT change tthe users name.. it changes the machines name | 03:50 |
| holstein | Vivekananda: all i can say is, if that not doing it, we have no way of knowing what has been done to the system | 03:50 |
| dr_willis | so theres some confusion going on here. | 03:50 |
| dr_willis | !hostname | 03:50 |
| ubottu | Use hostname <somehostname> to set the hostname, or to do it permanently: edit /etc/hosts to include BOTH the old and new hostname and then change /etc/hostname to the new one. WARNING! Make sure that your current hostname and /etc/hosts match, otherwise sudo may not work properly. | 03:50 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: nothing . I just found a ready working copy so used it. coz if I install the default then the steps are 1. install 2. get updates 3. install the after-install help things ( which I will have to look up ) and then start | 03:51 |
| Vivekananda | so takes a long time | 03:51 |
| Vivekananda | but if you say so I will get right down to installing it default | 03:51 |
| dr_willis | i would be suprised if that vm had all the updates | 03:51 |
| Vivekananda | sorry I mean I will go ahead and download | 03:51 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: if you think that self install is better then I will go ahead. btw isnt that vm from oracle ? or am I confused with the name virtualbox ? | 03:52 |
| Vivekananda | I will begin by downloading ubuntu lts and starting a fresh install | 03:53 |
| Vivekananda | holstein: did you mean to say that the http://virtualboxes.org/images/ubuntu/ site is not from oracle ? | 03:54 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: i doubt if its officially by oracle. | 03:55 |
| dr_willis | theres various vm appliance sites out with images. they could have any sort of weirdness in them | 03:55 |
| dr_willis | if it WAS offically by oracle - i definatly wouldent trust it.. I dont trust that company. ;) | 03:55 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: okay so fresh start for me then. tell me sth I have a 64 bit system. Should I install a 32 bit os on the vbox in it ? | 03:56 |
| Vivekananda | for lesser pains | 03:56 |
| Vivekananda | or lesser printer config issues ? | 03:56 |
| dr_willis | for vbox i tend to use 32bit. not much reason to go 32bit | 03:56 |
| Vivekananda | especially printer config | 03:56 |
| dr_willis | ive never had printer issues in 64bit ;) | 03:56 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: so what do you suggest | 03:56 |
| Vivekananda | 32 or 64 | 03:56 |
| Vivekananda | I also did not get your line ----for vbox i tend to use 32bit. not much reason to go 32bit | 03:57 |
| dr_willis | for vbox i tend to use 32bit. not much reason to go 64 bit <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< | 03:57 |
| Vivekananda | yes got it | 03:57 |
| Vivekananda | now | 03:57 |
| dr_willis | i basically only use 64bit on my real machines. | 03:57 |
| Vivekananda | okay so will go 32 then | 03:57 |
| dr_willis | i cant even recall the last issue i had that was due to 64bit-ness | 03:57 |
| Vivekananda | my system has 64 bit windows | 03:57 |
| Vivekananda | win 7 | 03:57 |
| Vivekananda | but then you are a doctor :) | 03:58 |
| dr_willis | ive had more issues with windows 64bitness then i have in linux. | 03:58 |
| Vivekananda | I might be a measely patient | 03:58 |
| dr_willis | and even then - i cant recall many issues in windows 64bit. | 03:58 |
| Vivekananda | lol | 03:58 |
| Vivekananda | okay then final word | 03:58 |
| Vivekananda | what do I download ? what iso ? | 03:58 |
| snizzo | how can I install opensource radeon driver from source? | 03:58 |
| dr_willis | for in virtual box - i tend to run Lubuntu its lighter | 03:58 |
| Vivekananda | yes I can do that | 03:59 |
| dr_willis | snizzo: why do you need to? | 03:59 |
| Vivekananda | but Lubuntu is not lts | 03:59 |
| Vivekananda | and I want an lts for this vbox | 03:59 |
| dr_willis | why do you want an lts? | 03:59 |
| Vivekananda | ie no help for next 5 yrs | 03:59 |
| Vivekananda | coz I wont be here to supervise problems in this | 03:59 |
| dr_willis | i doubt if you are going to be using that same install for 5 yers.. and you can upgrade to the next release | 03:59 |
| Vivekananda | it is to be given to my uncle who is not comp literate | 03:59 |
| snizzo | dr_willis: I'd like to try one cutting edge feature that isn't on packets now :) | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | lts does not guarentee no problems. ;) | 04:00 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: I am not trying to debate correctness but lts simply gives me more time so I choose that always | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | lts is about security updates more then anhyything else. so lubuntu or ubuntu, wont matter much | 04:00 |
| Vivekananda | 5 yrs is good ! | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | 5 yearts is ancient history ;) | 04:00 |
| snizzo | I already compiled mesa just I don't know how to install... i did make install but I think I have now 2 versions of radeon | 04:00 |
| Vivekananda | okay but lubuntu will loose support in 1 yr | 04:00 |
| Vivekananda | it is fine | 04:00 |
| Vivekananda | I can use ubuntu | 04:00 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: not really.. its the SECURITY updates that aere the critical part of LTS. | 04:01 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: the reason for installing this ubuntu is I want to run a server on it | 04:01 |
| Vivekananda | and also to print stuff from it | 04:01 |
| dr_willis | a server - it wont really matter what desktop you use.. and you can install lubuntu and ubuntu both if you want. Or no desktop at all | 04:01 |
| Vivekananda | I did not want to go headless so I chose ubuntu | 04:01 |
| Vivekananda | yes so I will go with ubuntu and later perhaps get l | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | you are making a vbox print server? | 04:02 |
| Vivekananda | no I am setting up a localhost flask server | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | cant say ive evver used flash. | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | flask | 04:02 |
| dr_willis | ;P >hic< | 04:02 |
| Vivekananda | for some inhouse invoicing and pos system | 04:02 |
| Vivekananda | yes np | 04:02 |
| Vivekananda | that is for later | 04:02 |
| Vivekananda | right now it is install and connect printer | 04:03 |
| Vivekananda | let me get started | 04:03 |
| The_Reaver | This is kind of random, but does anyone know of a channel where I could get help with maven/webstart integration? | 04:04 |
| dr_willis | nice thing about setting up a VM. You can back it up. then try things (like a release upgrade) then restore it easially if it dosent work | 04:04 |
| Vivekananda | The_Reaver: did you try maven channel ? | 04:04 |
| Vivekananda | or #web ? | 04:04 |
| The_Reaver | #maven was dead, I'll try the other one | 04:05 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: say no more :) | 04:05 |
| The_Reaver | Thanks! | 04:05 |
| Vivekananda | np | 04:05 |

| elpelado | hi everyone! | 04:25 |
| imsky | hello elpelado | 04:26 |
| imsky | how did ubuntu screw up this time | 04:27 |
| unsecur3d | ? | 04:27 |
| elpelado | hi imsky | 04:27 |
| === companion is now known as Companion | ||
| elpelado | i need some opinion about firefox, someone can give me? | 04:32 |
| imsky | fierfox is pretty firey | 04:32 |
| unsecur3d | what kind of opinion u need | 04:32 |
| holstein | elpelado: not really.. its a browser.. its free to try and use.. try it for your self | 04:32 |
| unsecur3d | are we allowed to chat in spanish here ? | 04:32 |
| elpelado | tnks imsky | 04:32 |
| holstein | its well supported | 04:32 |
| imsky | yw elpelado | 04:33 |
| holstein | !es | 04:33 |
| ubottu | En la mayoría de los canales de Ubuntu, se habla sólo en inglés. Si busca ayuda en español entre al canal #ubuntu-es; escriba "/join #ubuntu-es" (sin comillas) y presione intro. | 04:33 |
| unsecur3d | lol | 04:33 |
| unsecur3d | joining there too :p | 04:33 |
| elpelado | but im my lapton run so slowly | 04:33 |
| unsecur3d | elpelado what ubuntu version u running and what model laptop u got | 04:33 |
| elpelado | sometimes just tack it | 04:33 |
| holstein | elpelado: the laptop runs slow? or firefox? or flash in the browser? | 04:34 |
| elpelado | my ubuntu version is 13.04 | 04:34 |
| elpelado | in general... just stack a second and return | 04:34 |
| imsky | yeah firefox is pretty slow on new ubuntu | 04:35 |
| imsky | no way to get around it | 04:35 |
| unsecur3d | it works fine for me | 04:35 |
| unsecur3d | no slow at all | 04:35 |
| unsecur3d | but if u need something faster (ur specs are slow) try chrome instead | 04:35 |
| holstein | if the computer is old/slow, new software and new web browsers likely wont run all that great on it | 04:36 |
| holstein | elpelado: what are the specs of the machine? | 04:36 |
| unsecur3d | thats why i asked the model | 04:36 |
| elpelado | wow! is just what I needed, the simple truth | 04:37 |
| unsecur3d | should of said ur on an old pc dude | 04:37 |
| holstein | elpelado: there is an ubuntu based puppy linux (not supported here, of course) that can run well on older hardare, with some compromises | 04:38 |
| elpelado | maybe my laptop it`s getting old | 04:38 |
| holstein | elpelado: state the specs, and i can share an opinion as to if i think ubuntu or a derivitive will run on it | 04:39 |
| elpelado | dual core intel and nvidia w 512 mb | 04:39 |
| unsecur3d | yea ur slow dude | 04:39 |
| unsecur3d | im at 4gb ram quad core | 04:39 |
| unsecur3d | u might want to use xfce with ubuntu and chrome as ur web browser | 04:39 |
| holstein | elpelado: i would try and add memory, and that should be fine... might want xubuntu or lubuntu | 04:39 |
| unsecur3d | that would make it run faster | 04:39 |
| elpelado | ok ok | 04:40 |
| elpelado | the ubuntu distr. for xfce is xubuntu... ? | 04:40 |
| holstein | !xubuntu | 04:41 |
| ubottu | Xubuntu is Ubuntu with Xfce as the desktop environment. More info at http://www.xubuntu.org/ - To install from Ubuntu: « sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop » - Join #xubuntu for support - See also: !Ubuntu and !Xubuntu-Channels | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | you can install the xubuntu/xfce on a ubuntu install ir you wanted and try both out | 04:41 |
| elpelado | cool! | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | an lubuntu. - just select what one to use at the login scree | 04:41 |
| dr_willis | screen | 04:41 |
| elpelado | you tell me that i can install xubuntu whitouth delete my actualy ubuntu? | 04:42 |
| holstein | elpelado: dr_willis just did | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop | 04:42 |
| holstein | elpelado: and, yes | 04:42 |
| unsecur3d | thats it | 04:42 |
| elpelado | like ubottu told me? | 04:42 |
| dr_willis | its JUST the desktop. the core of the OS is the same for ubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu/ | 04:43 |
| elpelado | awesome! | 04:43 |
| dr_willis | its trivial to have 3+ desktops installed | 04:43 |
| unsecur3d | and most gnome apps will be available in xfce so u gonna love it | 04:43 |
| holstein | elpelado: xubuntu *is* ubuntu | 04:43 |
| unsecur3d | make sure u got enough disk space (df -h) | 04:43 |
| jpmh | on a test system I am trying to start a dhcp server. I have the .conf file set, I think but when I start sudo dhcpd I get the message: Can't create PID file /var/run/dhcpd.pid permission denied. What do I need to set? | 04:44 |
| elpelado | :))) ok ok im an older user of red hat of 98` | 04:44 |
| unsecur3d | how come ur not using fedora ? | 04:44 |
| elpelado | in need to get in time w that | 04:44 |
| dr_willis | jpmh: perhaps use the service command to start the service | 04:44 |
| elpelado | :))) | 04:44 |
| dr_willis | jpmh: sudo service servicename start | 04:44 |
| unsecur3d | jpmh, u using root buddy ? | 04:44 |
| jpmh | dr_willis - tried that - get: dhcp: unrecognozed service | 04:45 |
| jpmh | unsecur3d: no - hence the sudo? | 04:45 |
| dr_willis | that may not be the service name try the service command to list all services | 04:45 |
| unsecur3d | jpmh, yup | 04:45 |
| dr_willis | jpmh: you have to start it with sudo rights | 04:45 |
| unsecur3d | need root to start a system service, sudo | 04:45 |
| elpelado | holdstein, dr_willis, unsecur3d, ubottu and everyone... just very very tnks! | 04:45 |
| unsecur3d | elpelado, no de ke tiguere :) | 04:46 |
| jpmh | dr_willis: what is the command to find the list | 04:46 |
| elpelado | i will try it w xubuntu and chromium | 04:46 |

| babinlonston | histo: How to setup a ftp server With more secure every time after setting up and while im accessing in browser its asking username and password but the user name and password not accepting me to login how can i clear it | 04:46 |
| dr_willis | jpmh: 'service' might do it.. or chekc service --help | 04:46 |
| elpelado | tnks again and see you later! | 04:47 |
| elpelado | bye! | 04:47 |
| elpelado | :) | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | babinlonston: if security is a main concern, dont use ftp, use ssh | 04:47 |
| unsecur3d | service --status-all | 04:47 |
| dr_willis | or scp, or sftp | 04:47 |
| jpmh | dr_willis: I did the sudo dhcpd and received the first error and sudo serice dhcp start for the second | 04:47 |
| babinlonston | dr_willis: ya im using vsftpd | 04:47 |
| unsecur3d | vsftpd could be good if security is needed | 04:48 |
| unsecur3d | set it up with PAM and u should be good, just make sure u dont got weak userid's and i would make sure it runs with a chroot environment | 04:48 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: should I use an ext3 or 4 for partitions ? | 04:48 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: the default these days is ext4 | 04:48 |
| Vivekananda | kk | 04:49 |
| Vivekananda | and do I allot like 2 gb swap ? | 04:49 |
| Vivekananda | or is that not required ? | 04:49 |
| unsecur3d | 1gb is fine | 04:49 |
| dr_willis | make a 2 gb swap partion | 04:49 |
| unsecur3d | thats a lot | 04:49 |
| babinlonston | unsecur3d: guide me please | 04:49 |
| Vivekananda | I have 4 gigs ram | 04:49 |
| Vivekananda | but win 7 as host | 04:49 |
| unsecur3d | oh then yea do 2gb if ur virtualizing it | 04:50 |
| unsecur3d | babinlonston, https://www.digitalocean.com/community/articles/how-to-set-up-vsftpd-on-ubuntu-12-04 | 04:51 |

| jpmh | for those interested in my dhcpd question: service --list-all gave me a list, and I then discovered that the service to re-start is: isc-dhcp-serve | 04:54 |
| unsecur3d | nice | 04:55 |
| unsecur3d | u got it working now ? | 04:55 |
| jpmh | unsec | 04:55 |
| jpmh | unsecur3d: not sure - checking now - It did not give an error - now need to see if it is actually giving addresses | 04:56 |
| unsecur3d | ? | 04:56 |
| unsecur3d | no error = ur good | 04:56 |
| unsecur3d | just double check that the service is no running | 04:56 |
| unsecur3d | ps -ax|grep dhcpcd if im not mystaken | 04:56 |
| jpmh | unsecur3d: better than that sudo service isc-dhcp-server restart gives a new pid and says it restart and the service is there. | 04:57 |
| unsecur3d | nice | 04:57 |
| unsecur3d | u should be good, test it | 04:57 |
| jpmh | unsecur3d: it is clearly up - it is not actually allocating addresses yet - but that's an easier prpoblem I hop - ty - also thks to Dr_Willis | 04:59 |

| xmetal | true | 05:17 |
| dr_willis | punkmexic: you do have sound? does alsa-mixer work? | 05:18 |

| xmetal | ;) | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | punkmexic: find out then? | 05:18 |
| xmetal | its a learning experience | 05:18 |
| punkmexic | i see alsamixer | 05:18 |
| punkmexic | what do i do now | 05:18 |
| Mekaari | magic | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | play some muzak - see if you hear it. | 05:18 |
| dr_willis | 'see' if you 'hear' it.. ;) | 05:19 |
| punkmexic | i hear youtube | 05:19 |
| punkmexic | but too low | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | the volume media keys on your keyboard should work to change voulme up/down also | 05:19 |
| dr_willis | alsamixer should let you adjust volumes also | 05:19 |
| punkmexic | laptop volume keys dont work | 05:19 |
| Mekaari | use the arrow keys in alsamixer to adjust the volume | 05:20 |
| punkmexic | i just see f1 f2 f3 in alsamixer | 05:20 |
| Mekaari | use the arrow keys. | 05:20 |
| dr_willis | !sound | 05:20 |
| punkmexic | arrow keys do nothing | 05:20 |
| ubottu | If you're having problems with sound, click the Volume applet, then Sound Preferences, and check your Volume, Hardware, Input, and Output settings. If that fails, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Sound - https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SoundTroubleshooting - http://alsa.opensrc.org/DmixPlugin - For playing audio files, see !players and !mp3. | 05:20 |

| dr_willis | i dont even recall the name of the gui mixer apps.. | 05:21 |
| xmetal | i'd look at the mixer ... the program's volume may be at max, but the "main volume" (not sure if that makes sense) may be set to 0 or 1 (almost mute) | 05:21 |
| xmetal | (not sure how else to say it) | 05:21 |

| === reivei is now known as Heet | ||
| dr_willis | i got a networked wireless brother printer. ;) best printer ive ever bought | 05:31 |
| dr_willis | you can set up vbox where it appears on the lan as any other 'real' machine on the lan. and shoul dbe able to get to any network printers same as if it was a real box on the lan. | 05:32 |
| xmetal | i know someone who just got a brothers and like it ... their canon ink absorber wasn't cleaned/replaced/whatever and ... it looked like a squid (that shoots ink) exploded inside | 05:33 |

| dr_willis | ca = calafornia! ;) | 05:35 |

| Nimble | california is a state | 05:35 |
| dr_willis | its like a whole differnt world in California | 05:36 |
| Vivekananda | I am trying to set up my printer using http://askubuntu.com/questions/226307/how-to-install-a-brother-hl2270dw-laser-printer | 05:36 |
| Nimble | depends on what part of California | 05:36 |
| Vivekananda | should I choose yes or no for step 5 for url when I am on a guest ubuntu and the host has the printer | 05:36 |
| dr_willis | Vivekananda: so you are running Windows. with Ubuntu in a vbox. and the printer is connected to the windows box how? | 05:36 |
| Vivekananda | by cable | 05:37 |
| dr_willis | so the printer is being shared via the windows share stuff? | 05:37 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: the problem is ( as I ascertained an hour ago) my router does not allow internal fixed ips so giving a url will be counterproductive | 05:37 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: I have just installed ubuntu and have done no sharing | 05:38 |
| Vivekananda | am trying to first install the driver here and then proceed to sharing but am at your disposal | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | windows needs to be shareing the printer if you want other networked machines to access it. | 05:38 |
| Vivekananda | what should I do ? | 05:38 |
| Vivekananda | I already enabled lpd and lri or something in windows | 05:38 |
| dr_willis | every brother printer ive seen - has had drivers allready in the repos. | 05:38 |
| Vivekananda | if that is what you are referring to | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | i just tell window sto 'share' the printer.. ;) | 05:39 |
| Vivekananda | dr_willis: nope not this one | 05:39 |
| Vivekananda | lol okay let me see how to do that | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | theres a lot of brother printer packages not installed by default. | 05:39 |
| Vivekananda | but before that | 05:39 |
| Vivekananda | what do I chose as the url in step 5 in the first answer on http://askubuntu.com/questions/226307/how-to-install-a-brother-hl2270dw-laser-printer | 05:39 |
| dr_willis | try yes. and enter the ip of the windows box perhaps | 05:41 |

| holstein | Fulange: are you sure you installed ubuntu? | 06:00 |
| Fulange | holstein: okay, i havent uninstalled it, to my knowledge, how can i interact with it? | 06:00 |
| Fulange | holstein: i dont even have the icon in the top right with the little arrows. but on my other boot (dual boot windows/ubuntu) the internet works fine | 06:01 |
| holstein | Fulange: your other boot? you mean on the other machine? | 06:02 |
| Nimble | when I run netstat, why do I see connections from the root user to webpages I am visiting? | 06:02 |
| Nimble | is it because port 80 is a restricted port? | 06:02 |
| holstein | Fulange: could be this simple.. the networking hardware you have is not supported by linux | 06:03 |
| holstein | Fulange: at least, out of the box | 06:03 |
| holstein | Fulange: when supported hardware is connected, the manger "just works".. otherwise, you dont need a manager | 06:03 |
| Fulange | holstein: ooh, good point, i hope not... let me check! i have 2 nic devices on this PC and neither of them work lol | 06:04 |
| holstein | Fulange: i suggest looking at the chipsets and doing some general troubleshooting.. if you feel "we" have maybe compromised the installation, try testing with a live CD | 06:04 |

| holstein | Fulange: then, its not capable of functioning, or installed correctly, or supportable, or needs more config up front | 06:17 |

| Fulange | holstein: bigfoot networks killer network card... the website says it supports linux, but i may have to instal something | 06:18 |
| holstein | xtrez: if you would like to install it, i would.. the software center is a GUI targeted for the desktop.. maybe you need to search "lamp", or "web server".. or maybe its not showed | 06:19 |
| holstein | Fulange: what website says it supports what linux? | 06:19 |
| Fulange | holstein: killergaming.com, im still investigating, just a cursory glance | 06:20 |

| syn-ack | Take them out of the "adm" and "sudo" groups, yalu | 06:28 |

| syn-ack | dr_willis, That's actually the part in which I was wondering about | 06:31 |
| syn-ack | Mollyguard... That's what I was trying to think of... | 06:32 |
| syn-ack | That's in that article, too | 06:32 |
| dr_willis | There used to be options to remove those items from the login screen. But I've not looked Into them in ages | 06:32 |

| kelvinella | hello, how do I write a loop with scp to copy files? | 06:58 |
| kelvinella | without typing in the password in every file? | 06:58 |
| ikonia | punkmexic: let me guess, trying to do something with pip or something like that | 06:59 |
| punkmexic | maybe | 06:59 |
| punkmexic | what should i do ikonia | 06:59 |
| ikonia | punkmexic: looks for a yes/no not "maybe" | 06:59 |
| reisio | kelvinella: sshfs foo@bar:baz qux && for i in fred; do cp "$i" quz/; done | 06:59 |
| punkmexic | yes | 06:59 |
| reisio | … && fusermount -u qux :p | 06:59 |
| kelvinella | reisio, scp | 06:59 |
| ikonia | punkmexic: "dont use it" is the genuine answer, most of what you need should be handled thorugh the ubuntu package manager | 06:59 |
| reisio | kelvinella: scp, ssh, sftp, sshfs, same thing | 07:00 |
| kelvinella | reisio, it wont ask for password? | 07:00 |
| reisio | it will, once | 07:00 |
| punkmexic | looks like its fixed | 07:00 |
| mobile | could use passwordless logins for scp | 07:00 |
| kelvinella | reisio, which command makes it once? | 07:00 |
| reisio | kelvinella: sshfs | 07:00 |
| kelvinella | reisio, for ((i=6401;i<=6649;i++)); do scp root@192.168.1.100:/private/var/mobile/Media/DCIM/106APPLE/IMG_$i.* .; done | 07:01 |
| reisio | you can probably use keys, but that's probably about as much work as typing a password a few times, at least the first time you do it :) | 07:01 |
| kelvinella | reisio, whats the problem in this command? | 07:01 |
| reisio | kelvinella: you tell me | 07:01 |
| reisio | you using bash? | 07:02 |
| kelvinella | reisio, i run it in terminal | 07:02 |
| reisio | for i in {6401..6649}; would work in bash | 07:02 |

| FourFire | Hello, I have an issue where any sound file I play cuts out after half a second, on the inbuilt speakers and headphones. | 07:06 |
| FourFire | I recently installed pulseaudio Volume control to allow me to play sound on a HDTV by changing the configuration setting. | 07:06 |
| FourFire | the configuration setting is currently on Analog stereo Duplex (which I think is default?) How may I fix this issue? | 07:06 |
| dr_willis | bobbby: id just make a script that calls calls the binary you need properly | 07:06 |
| mobile | sshfs dont work from iphone to pc | 07:06 |
| dr_willis | bobbby: i dont see how youa re just typing the command . and its working.. if its not allready in your PATH | 07:07 |
| reisio | mobile: I wouldn't think so | 07:07 |
| kelvinella | mobile, failed to open | 07:07 |
| reisio | FourFire: does it work on the hdtv? | 07:08 |
| mobile | the iphone needs to be on, ie the screen lit | 07:08 |
| mobile | some basic security | 07:08 |
| bobbby | dr_willis if I type the command it tells me "activemq is not installed, you can install this package by typing apt-get..." which is true, yes you can, but that gets you an old version, and the new version isn't packaged, so I had to install it manually. however i'm still getting ubuntu telling me about the package when i'd like it to just run the manually installed version. | 07:09 |
| kelvinella | its one | 07:09 |
| FourFire | yeah when I switch it to Digital stereo (HDMI) output | 07:09 |
| kelvinella | its on | 07:09 |
| FourFire | perfectly, no problems | 07:09 |

| reisio | FourFire: so you think you've set it back to default to play locally, but you're not sure? | 07:10 |
| dr_willis | bobbby: best would be to use a PPA to get the latest version of that program and not use source, or a arcvhive | 07:10 |
| bobbby | dr_willis nobody has packaged the latest version of that program. | 07:11 |

| reisio | Terabyte: -AknS? | 07:19 |
| Terabyte | zats ze joke | 07:19 |
| tintindks | because when I restart computer says "start in low mode resolution". However after accept the message load ok the desktop | 07:19 |
| reisio | Terabyte: heh | 07:19 |
| reisio | tintindks: I'm not sure that means the driver isn't loaded | 07:20 |

| ikonia | tintindks: that's not what was asked | 07:21 |
| dr_willis | so it says its in low-res mode.. but its not. | 07:22 |

| reisio | ikonia: that'd be my guess | 07:23 |
| ikonia | I'm reasonably sure it is | 07:23 |
| ikonia | there is a package that tests for 3d acceleration for unity, | 07:23 |
| reisio | among the things that might make compiz not load: your hardware actually works with compiz but compiz thinks it doesn't because someone put it on a list :) | 07:23 |

| pranjal710 | ikonia: Could you suggest something, I want to run a sudo shell command without being prompted for a password and direct the output to a file | 07:36 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: if I where you I would consider setting up a sudo rule with NOPASSWD for this command | 07:36 |
| pranjal710 | ikona: how do I do that? | 07:37 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: also you're not running a command, you're doing something very odd. | 07:37 |

| ikonia | pranjal710: it looks like you're making this very complex for something that is not needed | 07:37 |
| tintindks | reisio: 10.04 | 07:37 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: more so as "date" does not need "sudo" to run | 07:37 |
| Prock81 | question? in grub can there be a space in the file path / file name for the image to be loaded? | 07:38 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: Actually There are various other scripts which require sudo right. Just for test case, I am using a shell script which is inturn calling a shell which will run sudo scripts | 07:38 |
| ikonia | Prock81: you'd need to escape it, but there should be no space in /boot | 07:38 |
| reisio | tintindks: can you not use a more recent version? It's kind of a cop out, but newer versions of things do tend to be improved | 07:38 |
| Prock81 | if so what would be the format to handle the spaces | 07:38 |
| reisio | tintindks: also you're going to want to update real soon regardless | 07:38 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: sounds a mess | 07:38 |
| Prock81 | ikonia not for my ubuntu, but i want to add something personal | 07:39 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: Could you suggest something better? | 07:39 |
| reisio | Prock81: but why? :p | 07:39 |
| ikonia | Prock81: check #grub | 07:39 |
| Prock81 | reisio: why on what part | 07:39 |
| ikonia | pranjal710: a simple script that is executed properly, with a password exception in the sudo rules | 07:39 |
| reisio | Prock81: why a space | 07:40 |
| pranjal710 | ikonia: How do I add a password exception into the sudo rule? | 07:40 |
| tintindks | reisio: I know, but I cannot. I use this installation for some different hardware and I clone them. Need that version to have the same in all computers (for working computers) | 07:40 |

| dr_willis | fidel search for the charcter '&' ? | 08:30 |
| Prock81 | one moment | 08:30 |
| JonMc | darthpbal did you do any updates? | 08:30 |
| blazemore | darthpbal: Are any other devices on the same network having the same problem? Is your device having the same problem with other networks? | 08:30 |
| darthpbal | I don't think so, but it's possible that I just did them without even thinking about it. | 08:30 |
| fidel | dr_willis: search for/in files and folders | 08:31 |
| fidel | basically a gui for find ;) | 08:31 |
| saschagehlich | hey, i'm trying to install ubuntu on an asus n550 notebook, but after i select "install ubuntu", the screen turns black and stays this way (led backlight is still on though). any hints? | 08:31 |
| blazemore | fidel: Doesn't Unity's Dash do that out of the box? | 08:31 |
| darthpbal | I don't have the password for any other networks, but all of the computers on my network are working fine except for the one. | 08:31 |
| fidel | blazemore: it might - but i am not using unity | 08:31 |
| JonMc | darthpbal: if they other ones work i would try to roll back your last set of updates, back to when it worked | 08:32 |
| JonMc | -y | 08:32 |
| dr_willis | dash dosent search for pattersn IN files last i looked. | 08:32 |
| blazemore | saschagehlich: Does the system have a make and model? Asus didn't make a computer called n550 I don't think, but Intel did make an Atom n550 so you might be getting confused with that | 08:32 |
| saschagehlich | blazemore: it's an asus n550jv-CN088H | 08:32 |
| darthpbal | How would I roll back to previous updates? | 08:33 |
| Prock81 | DuncanNZ save that in a file and chmod +x, edit the module name for what u need then sh file http://paste.ubuntu.com/5954265/ | 08:33 |

| JonMc | darthpbal: what os are you using and what version | 08:33 |
| darthpbal | I'm using Ubuntu 13.04 | 08:34 |
| === vincent is now known as Guest60307 | ||
| JonMc | darthpbal: unless you set it up in 13.04, there are no back ups. you will probably have to reinstall unless someone else here has a better idea | 08:38 |
| saschagehlich | blazemore: turning off secure boot apparently worked… ;) | 08:38 |
| dr_willis | !downgrade | 08:38 |
| ubottu | Attempting to downgrade to an older Ubuntu version is explicitly not supported and may break your system. | 08:38 |
| blazemore | dr_willis: That's not what he is trying to do | 08:38 |
| JonMc | Sorry it took me so long, i had to look it up for the newest versions of Ubuntu | 08:39 |
| dr_willis | !pin | 08:39 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 08:39 |
| VictorCL | hi | 08:40 |
| darthpbal | Is there any idea what could be the cause of this? | 08:40 |
| VictorCL | I have mess up my sources.list and I dont get any updates anymore | 08:40 |
| VictorCL | sudo apt-get update get stuck | 08:40 |

| === Guest38741 is now known as vorsprung | ||
| dr_willis | remove that source perhaps VictorCL | 08:41 |
| JonMc | darthpbal: if it was working fine and now its suddenly not working fine then either an update caused a change, your hardware changed, or something is interfering | 08:41 |
| franci | hello, which domain do i need to choose for ptr record? | 08:41 |
| dr_willis | server could be down. it should time out eventually | 08:41 |
| blazemore | franci: This is an Ubuntu support channel | 08:41 |
| darthpbal | I looked up my issue and some people were saying something about a new kernel was messing up peoples wifi stability | 08:41 |
| franci | blazemore: i know, but i want to set it on ubuntu ;) | 08:41 |
| blazemore | darthpbal: If you boot into a previous kernel do the problems go away? | 08:41 |
| JonMc | darthpbal: that would be an update | 08:42 |
| VictorCL | dr_willis, I dont see it there | 08:42 |
| blazemore | !details | franci what are you actually trying to do? Remember I know nothing apart from what you tell me | 08:42 |
| ubottu | franci what are you actually trying to do? Remember I know nothing apart from what you tell me: 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 ..." | 08:42 |
| dr_willis | VictorCL: thers sources.list.d/* also | 08:42 |
| darthpbal | How can I boot into a previous kernel? | 08:42 |
| blazemore | darthpbal: On the Grub boot menu, choose the option to see older kernels | 08:43 |
| JonMc | darthpbal: hold shift while booting | 08:44 |
| franci | blazemore: i want to send mail through sendmail and i need to add ptr record. i have more domains on this server and i will send mails only from one of them. now i need to choose domain for ptr record, but i don't know which one should i choose - like one as hostname? | 08:44 |
| blazemore | franci: Why do you need to add a ptr record? | 08:44 |
| blazemore | franci: Do you mean an MX record? | 08:45 |
| JonMc | for more help darthpbal http://askubuntu.com/questions/82140/how-can-i-boot-with-an-older-kernel-version | 08:45 |
| franci | blazemore: because if there isn't ptr records isps block ip and mail from it | 08:45 |
| darthpbal | I'm booting with a previous kernel now, give me a sec... | 08:45 |
| blazemore | franci: Oh! You mean reverse DNS | 08:45 |
| franci | blazemore: yes, absolutely | 08:45 |
| blazemore | franci: You have to contact your ISP, it might not be possible | 08:46 |
| blazemore | franci: Only the owner of the IP addresses can change the records for them | 08:46 |
| franci | blazemore: i've contacted it and they send me question what subdomain i'd like to have on ptr | 08:46 |
| blazemore | franci: Oh that's interesting | 08:47 |
| franci | blazemore: really ;) | 08:47 |
| blazemore | franci: Who is your ISP in this case? | 08:47 |
| blazemore | Yeah it's interesting because their response doesn't really make sense | 08:47 |
| darthpbal | Hey guys, it's looking like that was the issue. I booted in a previous kernel and it looks like my connection and speed are stable now! | 08:47 |
| blazemore | franci: Is it a home connection, a server you rent, a colo or what? | 08:47 |
| franci | blazemore: it's some kind of colo | 08:48 |
| rhumbot | hi all, i was wondering if there is a solution for multitouch gestures for ubuntu 13.04? (i cant configure them - worked perfectly on 12.04)) | 08:48 |
| blazemore | franci: "some kind of colo" and you don't know? | 08:48 |
| rhumbot | also: is it possible to downgrade to get back to 12.04? | 08:48 |
| franci | blazemore: it's server for learning | 08:48 |
| dr_willis | rhumbot: from 13.04 to 12.04? | 08:48 |
| blazemore | franci: You rent rack space and network connectivity in a datacentre? Did you have to physically buy a server yourself (off ebay for example) | 08:48 |
| rhumbot | dr_willis yes | 08:49 |
| dr_willis | rhumbot: reformat renstall. | 08:49 |
| rhumbot | i see. thats what i would like to avoid. | 08:49 |
| blazemore | franci: Really this isn't an Ubuntu issue at all - you need to contact your ISP to get your preferred domain set up as the PTR record for your IP | 08:49 |
| franci | blazemore: but can you please help me :/ | 08:50 |
| blazemore | No, and it's not that I'm choosing not to, it's that I can't | 08:51 |
| blazemore | You need to contact your ISP, this is as relevant to ask the #ubuntu channel as it is to go to your mechanic and ask him | 08:52 |

| Shadow}} | Is there an apt for RSS feeds? If so can someone recommend a suitable one for Xubuntu. | 08:53 |
| corentin | hi | 08:53 |
| dr_willis | Shadow}}: should be several rss readers in the repos. or use some of the many firefox extensions for rss feeds | 08:54 |
| Shadow}} | *Xubuntu 13.04 | 08:54 |
| dr_willis | xubuntu uses the same repos as ubuntu ;) | 08:54 |
| MagePsycho | how to search and replace from the xml files in a directory? i want to replace <active>true</active> to <active>false</active> from them? | 08:55 |
| Shadow}} | Well, I've never used rss feeds. So really unsure how they work... Is there a way to receive a desktop notification from a feed? | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | MagePsycho: sed, or awk would be the normal tools for that sort of work | 08:55 |
| dr_willis | Shadow}}: there may be some indicator-applets listed at omgubuntu, webupd8 or the askubuntu.com big list of indicator-applets for that | 08:56 |
| corentin | i'm getting errors when running apt-get update, as seen here: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5954340/ any clue what's wrong? it looks like it's trying to connect to "security.ubuntu.com:http", but i checked my sources.list and it looks ok | 08:56 |
| Shadow}} | Ah thank you dr_willis | 08:56 |
| MagePsycho | i m tryig to write as: sed -i 's/<active>true</active>/<active>false</active>/' *.xml | 08:57 |
| MagePsycho | but afraid to run this commandon live site | 08:57 |
| dr_willis | MagePsycho: thats why you make backups | 08:57 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: copy the data off to a test folder first then... | 08:58 |
| ActionParsnip | MagePsycho: once it works on the copied files then go nuts | 08:58 |
| MagePsycho | can you check once guys.. if you see any issues: sed -i 's/<active>true</active>/<active>false</active>/' *.xml | 08:58 |
| rhumbot | so is there a way to reactivate the multitouch gestures used in 12.04? | 08:59 |
| ElFizbanio | usr13, if you'd like to know, I did build it together | 08:59 |

| dr_willis | MagePsycho: use one of your files as a test case and see for yourself it it works | 09:02 |
| dr_willis | seems a rather odd thing to be doing to a lot of files.. | 09:02 |
| histo | MagePsycho: run it with -i and observe the output | 09:03 |

| gribouille | hi | 09:04 |
| histo | MagePsycho: also you can change the seperator like sed s_<active>true_blahblah_ that way with escape characters \ it doesn't look all screwey | 09:04 |
| gribouille | is it possible to reboot the computer while an lvm operation (such as moving a PV) is in progress? | 09:06 |
| blazemore | gribouille: No, why would you even do that? | 09:07 |
| MagePsycho | i tried to run this command: sed -i 's/<active>true</active>/<active>false</active>/' Anais_Breadcrumbs.xml | 09:08 |
| MagePsycho | man sed | 09:08 |
| gribouille | blazemore, because I stop my computer every night | 09:08 |
| blazemore | gribouille: So don't do your LVM operation overnight | 09:08 |
| somsip | MagePsycho: escape the slashes. something like 's/<active>true<\/active>/<active>false<\/active>/g' | 09:09 |
| gribouille | blazemore, where did you read it isn't possible? | 09:09 |
| dr_willis | escape the < angle bracketss you mean | 09:09 |
| dr_willis | > | 09:09 |
| dr_willis | ? | 09:09 |
| blazemore | gribouille: I didn't read it isn't possible. | 09:10 |
| blazemore | gribouille: Of course it isn't possible | 09:10 |
| MagePsycho | it works: sed -i 's/<active>true<\/active>/<active>false<\/active>/' Anais_Breadcrumbs.xml | 09:10 |
| gribouille | blazemore, why? | 09:10 |
| dr_willis | or am i missreading. :) its too early for regrexps | 09:10 |
| blazemore | gribouille: If you power off your PC during a partition resize operation, don't expect it to work when you turn it back on again | 09:10 |
| somsip | dr_willis: it's always too early for regex ;-) | 09:10 |
| dr_willis | the s_<whatever> suggestion is worth using ;) | 09:10 |
| holy_rain | Is there any way to install ubuntu inside another ubuntu like we used to do in case of an ubuntu installation inside windows ? | 09:11 |
| blazemore | gribouille: Just make sure, when you do the LVM operations, that you leave your PC powered on until it finishes | 09:11 |
| blazemore | holy_rain: Not like Wubi no, but you can use Virtualbox | 09:11 |
| dr_willis | holy_rain: run vbox on ubuntu.. | 09:11 |
| blazemore | !virtualbox | holy_rain | 09:11 |
| ubottu | holy_rain: Virtualbox is a virtualizer for x86 and amd64 architectures.

| blazemore | dr_willis: for science | 09:11 |
| lixonic | #rvm | 09:12 |
| holy_rain | blazemore, I know about that, but I was hoping that somehow that is possible via a chroot | 09:12 |
| gribouille | blazemore, lvm operations don't change the size of partitions | 09:12 |
| histo | holy_rain: you could use lxc's or virtualbox | 09:12 |
| blazemore | gribouille: What are you actually trying to do? | 09:12 |
| histo | !lxc | holy_rain | 09:12 |

| nomike | hi | 09:20 |
| gribouille | kaelter, very few things are ubuntu specific | 09:21 |
| histo | gribouille: if it's not a ubuntu related question then it is off topic | 09:21 |
| blazemore | The main point is not that it isn't Ubuntu-related (although it isn't), it's that it's not a support question | 09:22 |
| histo | gribouille: /j #lvm | 09:22 |
| nomike | I'm running a a Debian server running a number of Ubuntu VM's. As it is for a non-profit project and as there is no full-time sysadmin dedicated to the project, we've turned on automatic security updates on the VM's and the server to keep the internet facing services up to date and minimize the risk of being hacked. | 09:23 |
| nomike | (this is a well balanced decision between the risk of being hacked due to security holes in out of date software and the risk of unattended updates) | 09:24 |
| nomike | My problem now is, that every now and then a new kernel update is installed which of course leaves the already installed kernels untouched. After a while the "/boot" filesystem fills up messing up the whole update-process. | 09:25 |
| nomike | First step would of course be to include "/boot" in our monitoring so we get aware of the problems early. | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | nomike: askubuntu.com has some scripts and discussion on cleaning out old kernels | 09:26 |
| histo | nomike: http://askubuntu.com/questions/88936/how-to-remove-old-kernel-versions-automatically | 09:26 |
| nomike | oh...thx...I'd have a loomk | 09:26 |
| histo | nomike: follow those directions to have unattended-upgrades do it | 09:26 |
| dr_willis | been quicker to just say what you needed.. ;) instead of the back history.. ;^) | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | do you really need a swperate /boot/ for each vm instancce also.. | 09:27 |
| dr_willis | id think a / /home and swap would be enough. Not sure what you gain by having a /boot/ partition | 09:28 |
| geoffw8_ | hi all, if I do rm -rf * | 09:28 |
| geoffw8_ | thats saying, delete everything in this folder and within it | 09:28 |
| geoffw8_ | right? | 09:28 |
| nomike | Well, as far as I understand the top-most answer suggest turning on a feature to automatically remove unused dependencies. Doesn't that remove the currently running kernel too? | 09:28 |
| kaelter | geoffw8: yes, but you have to be extremely careful with such commands. | 09:29 |
| Minkovsky | Hello, I'm having a weird problem with avconv/Nautilus. avconv-encoded MP3 files are 320kbps, but reported as 32kbps; duration is messed up too. http://imgur.com/Wab2jVi | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | geoffw8_: the thing to rember is the SHELL expands the 'wildcard/regular expression' then passes it to the command. | 09:29 |
| nomike | geoffw8_, in theory yes. However in the standard configuration of most shell's it doesn't delete files and folders beginning with a "." (=hidden files) | 09:29 |
| geoffw8_ | dr_willis: interesting, what do you mean? | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | geoffw8_: so 'echo rm -rf *' will show what its doing i belive | 09:29 |
| geoffw8_ | nomike: thanks | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | echo * | 09:29 |
| geoffw8_ | dr_willis: ohh, ill do that then | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | shows all files in the dir | 09:29 |
| dr_willis | its the SHELL doing it. :) not 'rm' | 09:30 |
| geoffw8_ | theres so much to this right, I feel like I'll be learnign forever | 09:30 |
| geoffw8_ | not a bad thing, dont get me wrong | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | find that 'using bash' book by oreially - its worth a read | 09:30 |
| geoffw8_ | cheers for help all | 09:30 |
| nomike | dr_willis, no mention of DOS. There you only get a single string and every program has to parse the arguments by itself. Horrible | 09:30 |
| dr_willis | i do recall a few commands in linux that do parse the wildcards (or can) themselfs. | 09:32 |
| dr_willis | i seem to recall unzip '*.zip' ;) | 09:33 |
| BrixSat | morning | 09:33 |
| [Gentoo] | dr_willis: if that dont work you can use a for loop | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | i rcall that unzip '*.zip' works.. but unzip *.zip does not | 09:33 |
| dr_willis | i cant think of any other commands ive seen work that way | 09:34 |
| [Gentoo] | shouldnt need the quotes i dont think | 09:34 |
| BrixSat | i have a pc that runs ubuntu but i cant put it to work with 1920*1082 :/ i have an ATI ES1000 | 09:34 |
| dr_willis | the quotes make it work. :) otherwise the shell expands the * | 09:35 |
| dr_willis | i recall this from years back. | 09:35 |

| reisio | MikeH: #networking | 09:44 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: my debian (latest) is working ok with the card but i hate debian gnome-session-fallback | 09:45 |
| kaelter | BrixSat: I looked up your card and it seems like a hardware limitation rather than the OS>. | 09:46 |
| santhosh | Because iam working on kvm and i amloading 2 servers in kvm so in that case i want it | 09:46 |
| saschagehlich | hey, after installing ubuntu my notebook boots directly to bios and I can't select my hdd as a boot device anymore | 09:46 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: so why would it work in debian ok and not in the ubuntu? | 09:47 |
| santhosh | <reisio>Because iam working on kvm and i amloading 2 servers in kvm so in that case i want it | 09:48 |
| kaelter | BrixSat: If it's actually getting 1920 x 1080 then my guess is that your card is different from what you posted or the specifications I found were wrong. | 09:49 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: find . -iname '*not*this*' -o -iname '*or*this*' -prune -o -iname '*.xml' -exec sed -i 's/foo/bar/g' {} \; | 09:49 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: i found the same specs as you so that is why i dont get it | 09:49 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: try it with just this first as a pretend: find . -iname '*not*this*' -o -iname '*or*this*' -prune -o -iname '*.xml' -print | 09:49 |
| MagePsycho | reisio: thanks man.. let me try | 09:52 |

| MagePsycho | reisio: suppose say i want to exclude xml starting with Core_*.xml, how should i use | 09:54 |
| Clark05 | ikonia: could you give me a link to this package? The name is too ambiguous for a google search. | 09:55 |
| santhosh | hai kvm cluster is possible if possible pls tell me | 09:55 |
| ikonia | Clark05: it's actually not ambigious if you search through software archives, but I agree it's not going to be the first hit | 09:56 |
| ikonia | santhosh: yes, it is possible. | 09:56 |
| santhosh | how pls tell me <ikonia> | 09:57 |
| ikonia | santhosh: it's not a "how" - it requirest a fair ammount of experience and understanding | 09:57 |
| ikonia | santhosh: it's not something you can just "tell someone" | 09:57 |
| ikonia | santhosh: you need to do a lot of planning with hardware and network, then set it up correctly | 09:57 |
| santhosh | iam worked on same machine so it is possible eay wat i think <ikonia> | 09:59 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: :) i have reasnons to believe it worked (my mouse is not giant) | 09:59 |
| kaelter | BrixSat: Awesome :D | 09:59 |
| santhosh | and i know hardware and networking <ikonia> | 09:59 |
| ikonia | santhosh: then why are you asking me if you know how to set the hardware and network up for KVM clustering | 10:00 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: but then again i just have a mouse and a black screen :p | 10:00 |
| santhosh | it is not hard ware ikonia it is software of kvm | 10:00 |
| ikonia | santhosh: yes i know, but you have to understand the software to set the hardware/networking up properly for an LVM cluster | 10:01 |
| ikonia | santhosh: it requires experience and understanding | 10:01 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: find . -iname 'Core_*.xml' -prune -o -iname '*.xml' -print | 10:01 |
| kaelter | BrixSat: Hmm... at least you have the mouse. | 10:02 |
| santhosh | ok i think it is not require bcz iam working on single system | 10:02 |
| BrixSat | yes | 10:02 |
| ikonia | santhosh: then why are you asking aobout setting up a cluster ? | 10:02 |
| MagePsycho | reisio: that works.. thanks a ton | 10:02 |
| l0ll0lll1 | hi all. I'm trying to install libopenal1 on saucy-daily, and get "E: Package 'libopenal1' has no installation candidate". How can I fix this? | 10:02 |
| santhosh | between 2 kvm | 10:02 |
| ikonia | l0ll0lll1: #ubuntu+1 is hte correct channel | 10:02 |
| ikonia | santhosh: you can't have 2 kvm on 1 system | 10:02 |
| santhosh | why it is possible | 10:03 |
| ikonia | it's "not" possibl | 10:03 |
| ikonia | possible | 10:03 |
| ikonia | santhosh: you can only have 1 kvm instance per machine | 10:03 |
| santhosh | i have 2 same 2 kvm in one system | 10:03 |
| reisio | you wouldn't want two anyways | 10:03 |
| babinlonston | Hi give me solution to correct the error in ftp server ... | 10:03 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: yes at least a mouse and now how can i debug some info? | 10:03 |
| ikonia | santhosh: do you want a cluster, yes/no ? | 10:03 |
| santhosh | only 1 kvm in one machine but how to conncet cluster | 10:04 |
| kaelter | BrixSat: I'm really not sure. if it's JUST a mouse and black screen... | 10:04 |
| santhosh | yes tell me | 10:04 |
| babinlonston | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5954524/ | 10:04 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: yes a white nice mouse and a black screen | 10:04 |
| babinlonston | histo: please help http://paste.ubuntu.com/5954524/ | 10:04 |
| ikonia | santhosh: you need to plan your hardware (machines/storage/networking) to be prepared for the type of cluster you want. | 10:04 |
| santhosh | i want storage cluster | 10:05 |
| santhosh | tell me the steps | 10:05 |
| BrixSat | if i switch from lightdm to gdm i have 2 mouses, separated by 1000px | 10:05 |
| reisio | santhosh: virtualized? | 10:05 |
| santhosh | i can follow that | 10:05 |
| ikonia | santhosh: it's not "steps" it has to be planned | 10:05 |
| reisio | BrixSat: neat | 10:05 |
| santhosh | yes reisio | 10:06 |
| reisio | santhosh: but why | 10:06 |
| BrixSat | reisio: i would prefer one mouse and a working system :p | 10:06 |
| ikonia | santhosh: it's, not 1,2,3 you need to have the hardware setup a certain way, have compatible hardware for that design and then understand the software a reasonable ammount | 10:06 |
| santhosh | i need that | 10:06 |
| reisio | BrixSat: that's reasonable :) | 10:06 |
| ikonia | santhosh: it's not just "tell me steps" - you have to understand it and set it up | 10:06 |
| santhosh | u know that one or not | 10:06 |
| reisio | virtualizing hardware is usually unnecessary overhead, in the case of a 'storage cluster', I'm thinking even moreso | 10:06 |
| ikonia | santhosh: I know how to setup KVM clusters, yes | 10:07 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: control alt delete gave me a window wich has no content and the border is horrible | 10:07 |

| MagePsycho | reisio: why {} \; is used at the last.. with empty string kind of | 10:09 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: {} represents every file that is found/matched | 10:09 |

| BrixSat | kaelter: reboots ends on same place | 10:09 |
| Dark_light | I was wondering is there a ppa or something that tracks lts kernel releases ? (like 3.4 or 3.10) | 10:09 |
| ikonia | Dark_light: the lts kernels are now backported from other releases into the lts versions | 10:10 |
| BrixSat | babinlonston: you need to provide more info, like how is the vsftp making login? using shell? | 10:10 |
| BrixSat | babinlonston: or using mysql | 10:10 |
| MagePsycho | reisio: sed -i 's/abc/abcd/g' Vs sed -i 's/abc/abcd/' with or without /g | 10:10 |
| Dark_light | ikonia: what happens when the other releases rech EOL though ? | 10:10 |
| Dark_light | *reach | 10:10 |
| ikonia | Dark_light: what do you mean ? they die, get no updates | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: but the backport from Quantal...Precise is LTS but Quantal wil expire before Precise | 10:11 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: g for global, replace all instances instead of just first | 10:11 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: its an interesting question | 10:11 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: usually what people want | 10:11 |
| BrixSat | kaelter: formating the system will maybe solve the issue :p | 10:11 |
| babinlonston | BrixSat: now i have configure vsftpd and if im trying to login its keep on asking username and password i cant loginin only this happen while the line chroot_local_user=YES is enabled .. | 10:11 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: backports are not included in LTS support as I recal, | 10:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: ahhh | 10:12 |
| BrixSat | babinlonston: login via ssh using that same credentials | 10:12 |
| MagePsycho | reisio: you are my hero.. thanks a ton | 10:12 |
| ikonia | ActionParsnip: I could be wrong if that's changed, but backports where always just that | 10:12 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: np :) | 10:12 |
| reisio | find is my hero | 10:12 |
| Dark_light | ikonia: no I mean what happens to the lts kernels when their target release reaches EOL do they still receive updates in other releases ? | 10:12 |
| MagePsycho | reisio: very funny :D | 10:13 |
| ikonia | Dark_light: don't believe so | 10:13 |
| babinlonston | BrixSat: ssh how ? and now im used to login from my browser | 10:13 |
| BrixSat | babinlonston: login either via ssh to see if the credentials are right or login via browser and check the vsftp log | 10:13 |
| MagePsycho | reisio: find . -iname 'Mage_*.xml' -prune -o -iname '*.xml' -exec sed -i 's/<active>true<\/active>/<active>false<\/active>/' {} \; is working fine.. but i need to display which files gets effected .. is there a way | 10:15 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: they won't all have active true? | 10:15 |
| reisio | MagePsycho: might want to grep first, then | 10:16 |
| kaelter | BrixSat: can you log in to a shell using ctrl-alt-f1? | 10:16 |

I created a USB startup disk using the iso file and tried to boot the computer but it keeps booting using the installed 8.10.

| fujipompon | blazemore: hdmi works but I badely need spdif | 10:42 |
| blazemore | kostas: Are you sure the BIOS supports booting from USB? if it does, make sure the BIOS boot order is set to boot from the USB port BEFORE the internal hard drive | 10:43 |

| BluesKaj | fujipompon, do you have pavucontrol installed | 10:43 |
| k1l | kostas: make sure it boots from the usb. sometimes its f10 or f12 for boot menue | 10:44 |
| Max11982 | wow now a bigger one ( could not apply the stored configuration for monitors) | 10:44 |
| reisio | kostas: there's no dedicated boot menu? | 10:44 |
| kostas | k11: reisio: I already did that, I went into the bios setting boot menu and placed the external usb drive first... it keeps using the internal hard drive to boot, although this exact procedure worked three years ago on the same computer when I installed 8.10 | 10:45 |
| fujipompon | blazemore: wget -0 says "-0"invalid option | 10:45 |

| k1l | bessy7: the point m.shuttleworth was refering is, that you need to trust the distribution you use, because you install updates etc. that comes from them. that has nothing to do with the user needing root-rights to send logs to a bug report. | 11:35 |

| Vivekananda | hello everyone. could anyone help me troubleshoot printer woes in guest ubuntu host win7. I installed the printer drivers for brother HL2270dw in ubuntu. vbox says it is connected via usb. On printing 1 page of a pdf it prints the page but keeps on cycling through all paper in the tray and after that signals error | 12:11 |
| cfhowlett | Vivek, try a different document | 12:12 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : do you thik it would make any good to uninstall extra stuff like "pavuontrol" | 12:13 |

| Vivekananda | cfhowlett: I dont see any queued items in the print queue but if I reset the power button it will again start cycling through !!:( | 12:15 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : seems like a lot of controllers tryed to set up stuff within audio controller, maybe they fight against each other ? | 12:15 |
| cfhowlett | Vivekananda, that sounds suspiciously like a hardware issue ... | 12:15 |
| linae | agreed cfhowlett, vivek check the print queue *within* the printer | 12:16 |
| linae | ie see if there are any queued jobs inside the printer | 12:16 |
| ggz | hi | 12:16 |
| cfhowlett | ggz, greetings | 12:16 |
| Vivekananda | cfhowlett: there was no issue when windows 7 ( the host) was using it | 12:17 |
| ggz | what is the fastest between usb key and usb hard drive (not ssd) ? | 12:17 |
| Vivekananda | it worked perfectly! | 12:17 |
| blazemore | !ot | ggz | 12:17 |
| ubottu | ggz: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 12:17 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, are you on 13.04 ? | 12:17 |
| ggz | blazemore: it's for installing ubuntu =) | 12:17 |
| Vivekananda | cfhowlett: I used the first tut given here http://askubuntu.com/questions/226307/how-to-install-a-brother-hl2270dw-laser-printer | 12:18 |
| blazemore | ggz: They'll likely be the same since it's likely going to be limited by the speed of the USB2 bus rather than the speed of the storage | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | ggz, so you're comparing USB stick vs. SSD installation? | 12:18 |
| Vivekananda | I said no to device url | 12:18 |
| ggz | cfhowlett: no, a regular harddrive, not ssd | 12:18 |
| Vivekananda | should I have said yes ? | 12:18 |
| cfhowlett | Vivekananda, hardware support on virtualbox is always something of a crapshoot. Try the option and see. | 12:19 |
| ggz | blazemore: thanks, do you think it's a bad idea to install ubuntu on a usb key, since there is a limited number of write operation on a usb key ? how long do you think it could last ? | 12:20 |
| blazemore | ggz: I think you'd be much better off installing on your hard drive | 12:21 |
| cfhowlett | ggz, USB key installation should be your LAST option ... | 12:21 |
| fidel | ggz: besides the write-limitations - i guess it might be a slow-experience as well | 12:21 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, do you have ubuntu-restricted-extras installed , you'll need that | 12:22 |
| Vivekananda | cfhowlett: I am trying to use cups to locate and add the printer | 12:22 |
| Vivekananda | but the model list for brother does not have my printer | 12:22 |
| === Termana is now known as Guest39003 | ||
| Vivekananda | ie 2270 | 12:22 |
| Vivekananda | what should I do about that | 12:22 |
| cfhowlett | Vivekananda, go for a close relative of that model but a lower number . 2260 ? | 12:23 |
| cfhowlett | Vivekananda, also, see if you've got something like "generic" available. | 12:23 |
| Vivekananda | so I have either -- hl-2170W Foomatic or I have hl 2400-Cen Foomatic .. | 12:24 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : yes I'm on 13.04 64B but I don't know what a restricted extras are ? | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | Vivekananda, try em both! It's free and it'll only take a few minutes to test | 12:24 |
| ggz | i don't have a hard drive for now, i think i will test ubuntu install on the usb key, if it's too slow or the usb key die, i will buy a hard drive | 12:24 |
| cfhowlett | ggz decent enough plan. | 12:25 |
| blazemore | Vivekananda: wget http://rory.sh/printinstall.sh; sudo sh printinstall.sh | 12:25 |
| BluesKaj | !ubuntu-restricted-extras | fujipompon | 12:25 |
| ubottu | fujipompon: For multimedia issues, this page has useful information: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats - See also https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/ubuntu-help/media.html - But please use free formats if you can: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 12:25 |
| Vivekananda | cfhowlett: one thing confuses me. Should I configure the printer to be a usb device on the vbox or should I configure cups to look for it via the url ? | 12:25 |
| Vivekananda | blazemore: I already followed this tutorial http://askubuntu.com/questions/226307/how-to-install-a-brother-hl2270dw-laser-printer | 12:26 |
| Vivekananda | I want to undo that before trying your change. Shouldn't I ? | 12:26 |
| cfhowlett | Vivekananda, the preference would be for VBox to make the link, but as I said ... crap shoot. I see a lot of experimenting in your future. Course you COULD just install dual boot ubuntu and bypass all the vbox madness. Try this: make a usb/cdrom. Boot. Set up your printer. I BET it works natively with ubuntu. | 12:27 |
| Vivekananda | cfhowlett: then why should I not go the url route ? | 12:28 |
| das | Hello. I have a Radeon HD 5450 videocard with 1 VGA, 1 HDMI and 1 DVI port. I tried to activate 3 screens but did not succeed. At first I thought that HDMI and DVI were muxed, but I manage to have the two running at the same time. Any ideas ? | 12:28 |
| cfhowlett | Vivekananda, try everything is my stance. | 12:28 |
| blazemore | das: Does it even support triple-monitors? | 12:28 |
| das | blazemore: one of my colleague has a similar model I was told, and it works. Not sure ours are identical though it's the standard that they give here | 12:29 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj :Not shure to understand : vlc uses is own codecs so I'm don't have to worry about installing codecs inside the system, right ? | 12:30 |
| zykotick9 | fujipompon: you are correct, VLC doesn't use external codecs. | 12:31 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : or vlc works differtly inside Ubuntu than W7 ? | 12:31 |
| afflicto | Hey all. I need to help a friend of mine via VNC but he is behind a router without access to port forward. Can we use remmina with a port that's open by default on most routers? | 12:31 |

| johnmike | Hello. I'm new to Ubuntu and Linux is general. I tried to install the latest Scala today, but I got Scala 2.9. I tried update, upgrade etc, but I still seem suck on old Scala. Is this right? How come the latest Ubuntu includes an obsolete version of Scala? | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | fujipompon: vlc doesnt share codecs, not great imho | 12:35 |
| zykotick9 | !latest | johnmike | 12:35 |
| ubottu | johnmike: 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. | 12:35 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 12:35 |
| johnmike | ActionParsnip: Ubuntu 13.04 | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | johnmike, sudo apt-get upgrade && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade might bring you up to date. If not, talk to the scala maintainers. | 12:36 |
| johnmike | ubottu: where should I go if I always want latest - I'm not too worried about stability | 12:36 |
| ubottu | johnmike: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 12:36 |
| randomaussie | good eveing ubuntuers... | 12:36 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, I'ts just an old habit of mine to install the restricted extras for other uses , you don't need restricted -extras to if you use VLC exclusively | 12:36 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: the latest stable is 2.10, so 2.9 is hardly obsolete | 12:36 |
| johnmike | ActionParsnip: should I just install it from a binary build in my home directory then? | 12:37 |
| bananasdoom | anyone know if you can get the updated unity for ubuntu 13.04 and stay in 12.04 | 12:37 |
| cfhowlett | johnmike, if you just can't wait to get it, build your own from source ... | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: its also available on the scala website for download http://www.scala-lang.org/download/ | 12:37 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : I like XBMC too, tried it but unable to play multichannel through spdif | 12:37 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: its not obsolete in any way | 12:37 |
| randomaussie | i'm trying to make a program in the startup applications load with sudo/root priverlidges... having alot of difficulty and i dont understand /etc/sudoers | 12:38 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: just because its not bang up to date doesnt make it obsolete | 12:38 |
| blazemore | !details | randomaussie | 12:38 |
| ubottu | randomaussie: 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 ..." | 12:38 |
| johnmike | ActionParsnip: is there a Linux distro, or Ubuntu variant that strives to always be latest? For example I love on my mac that when Scala 2.10 came out, that hour I could install the new version using the homebrew package manager. | 12:39 |
| randomaussie | trying to make bumblebee-ui load with root priverlidges so it can auto optirun stuff for me | 12:39 |
| bananasdoom | so I am going to bump this.... anyone know if you can get the updated unity for ubuntu 13.04 and stay in 12.04 | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: you could submit a bug suggesting why the new version shoud be pushed out. If there are significant improvements, security and bug fixes it will be updated | 12:40 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, not all movies are 5.1 or higher , some are DD but only dual channel ...xbmc is ok , but it tries to do too much IMO , I prefer to control my sources | 12:40 |
| blazemore | !backports | bananasdoom | 12:40 |
| ubottu | bananasdoom: 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 | 12:40 |
| bananasdoom | ubottu: Thanks! :D | 12:40 |
| johnmike | ActionParsnip: ok thanks | 12:40 |
| fujipompon | what do U think 'vout this idea typed before , Shouldn't uninstall some stuff to simplify audio control ? BluesKaj : seems like a lot of controllers tryed to set up stuff within audio controller, maybe they fight against each other ? | 12:40 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: http://osgux.tumblr.com/post/44635945407/install-scala-2-10-0-in-ubuntu found that in no time at all | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: went to google and searched for: Scala 2.10 ubuntu | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: top link..... | 12:41 |
| ActionParsnip | johnmike: I assume you have seen that page....yes? | 12:41 |
| johnmike | ActionParsnip: yeah I know how to install from a binary - I said that was an option - but it's nice to work with the package manager rather than against it | 12:42 |
| johnmike | ActionParsnip: won't apt throw a fit when it sees I've changed files it installed behind it's back? | 12:42 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : I don't catch on what IMO means | 12:42 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, unfortunately idon't run unity/gnome , so my knowledge about the audio controller is rather limited ,. but afaik it works well with alsa, pulseaudio (pavucontrol) , doubt very much there's any conflict | 12:43 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, IMO = In My Opinion | 12:44 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : my problem with vlc playing 5.1 (DTS + DD are ok both) | 12:46 |
| yodamoppet | hello | 12:47 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, I don't understand | 12:49 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : First I have an error message : the audio peripherical « iec958:AES0=0x2,AES1=0x82,AES2=0x0,AES3=0x2 » can't be used : | 12:49 |
| fujipompon | Peripherical or ressourse occupy | 12:49 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, in VLC ? | 12:51 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : But it reads anyway in 5.1 | 12:51 |
| BluesKaj | 5.1 what tho ? | 12:51 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : Yes ! in VLC | 12:51 |
| fujipompon | And then every thing is ok as long as I don't touch any controls | 12:52 |
| === rew1red|away is now known as rew1red | ||
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, you should be able to control the volume in VLC | 12:53 |
| fujipompon | If I scroll the mouse : as soon as the volume raise or down the 100% value : a "pink noise" comes out loud out of all the 5.1 speakers... | 12:54 |
| Vivekananda | now another problem. I ran update on 12.04 fresh install and I was getting 1600 900 resolution earlier (after vbox extras install right after ubuntu install) but now I am not getting it. The window has shrunk. Also I lost the vbox top bar and the bottom bar too for the ubuntu | 12:55 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : and normal sound comes back as soon as I come back to 100% | 12:55 |
| Vivekananda | should I just quit ubuntu :( | 12:55 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, that's odd | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: up to you | 12:56 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: tried the 2D session from the login screen? | 12:56 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : also As soon as I use the skip command (file as chapters) picture and sound get unsync | 12:57 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, is the VLC audio output setting set to your intel-hda ? | 12:57 |
| fujipompon | that's THE question ! | 12:58 |
| ActionParsnip | fujipompon: have you tried other apps that make sound? | 12:59 |
| Vivekananda | ActionParsnip: I had the thing working before I installed updates | 12:59 |
| Vivekananda | why would the updates ruin things ? | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: well now it doesnt so you need to explore the issue | 13:00 |
| Vivekananda | btw where is the 2D ? | 13:00 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, open VLC >tools>preferences>audio ,, then choose the alsa audio output module , and the device as the intel audio | 13:00 |
| fujipompon | output module is alsa output, and the "uses spdif if possible" is marked | 13:00 |
| === p0wp0w_ is now known as p0wp0w | ||
| BluesKaj | yes , make sure the device is the intel | 13:01 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : ok for output module, on alsa, but then under device I have at least 20 choices possible !!! | 13:02 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: you select it from the login sceen | 13:03 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: its better for VMs ni a way that it uses fewer resources so will impact the host less | 13:03 |

| Vivekananda | ActionParsnip: again , that was working right before an update install. but if you said something that I missed please elaborate. Also the guest key + c was set to scaling for vbox. earlier I had scaling enabled and was getting the top and bottom bars. now I see that on disabling it I can see them but then with no scalinng the vbox covers only half of the screen :( | 13:05 |

| jacks_cool | ActionParsnip: I installed graphics driver few weeks back. It was working fine. Don't know what's going wrong today! | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jacks_cool: tried the boot option: nomodeset | 13:06 |
| jacks_cool | replac quite splash with nomodeset? | 13:06 |
| ActionParsnip | jacks_cool: its a kernel boot option to set | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | !nomodeset | 13:07 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: if the 2D session works then we know he 3D has been knocked out in some way | 13:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: we can then focus efforts there, at present we know nothing and simply bleating "it used to work" achieves nothing | 13:08 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : OK done ! | 13:09 |

| Slugze | hello, say anyone is using synergy around here? Got a lil problem, 2 stations, both on ubuntu 13.04, each having a mouse attached (- usb -) When i'm using mouse1 on pc1, the back / forward is doing perfect, same for mouse2/pc2 . But when i'm doing mouse1(server)pc2(client) the backforwar button of the mouse is doing a "slide left and right" ( using per exemple firefox ) . So i'm wondering if theres a quickfix for that ? | 13:13 |
| fujipompon | yes but with the fragilities : error message + touchy volume level + soud and video decay as evocated higher | 13:15 |
| Vivekananda | when I stretch 2D with scaling disabled then the desktop screen is only a in the middle of the elongated window. when I enable scaling then it also increases in size but the bottom goes out of of the screen | 13:15 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : yes but with the fragilities : error message + touchy volume level + soud and video decay as evocated above | 13:16 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : the multiple choices of device : that what makes me think of conflicts between the differents "audio controlers, mapers , etc.... | 13:17 |

| elixir | Walex, ikonia: Ubuntu 12.10, i5 4gb ram and what else.. ? I tried rebooting many times and tried certain commands too...but none helped | 13:22 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, most users need pavucontrol/pulseaudio for webaudio (mostly flash) | 13:22 |
| Walex | elixir: if you have a wifi problem, you should be listing which APs are being listed as accessible etc. | 13:22 |
| elixir | Walex: ifconfig says: http://pastebin.com/uUF0sWJw and I am currently connected using a hotspot from mobile | 13:23 |

| BluesKaj | fujipompon yes of course , with pcm ,that's expected | 13:25 |

| Petreanko | all* | 13:27 |
| Petreanko | A quick question not sure if I am in the right room.... Whats the diff between ubuntu 12.04 and ubuntu 13.04.... in the website it says long time support for 12.04 but 13.04 is up to date and support only till jan next year... so wouldnt 12.04 get any updates that 13.04 get? | 13:27 |
| FloodBot1 | Petreanko: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 13:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Vivekananda: without the sudo, yes | 13:28 |
| elixir | Walex: ? | 13:28 |
| elixir | or can someone else take up the initiative to help me please? | 13:28 |
| Petreanko | can someone help me with choosing ubuntu version to download and try | 13:29 |
| MonkeyDust | Petreanko 12.04 if you want ling support, 13.04 if you want the latest stuff | 13:30 |
| OerHeks | Petreanko, the LTS provides stable tested packages, 13.04 has newer packages with functionality, both get security updates. i would suggest try 13.04 | 13:30 |
| MonkeyDust | long* | 13:30 |
| Petreanko | @monkeydust Thank you | 13:30 |
| Petreanko | @0erheks Thank you, so will I get updates past jan 2014 if I use 13.04 or will have to choose to reinstall later? | 13:31 |
| OerHeks | Petreanko, no, updates will stop when the support is over. | 13:32 |
| vishnu_ | Does anyone used python desktop enviroment? | 13:32 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : fundamental question : do you think it could be easier to find stable soluces at my troubles under a LTS version of Ubuntu like 12.04 ??? | 13:34 |
| Vivekananda | ActionParsnip: it is the stupid vbox | 13:34 |
| Walex | elisa87: how to list Wifi depends on which WiFi configuration system you are using | 13:34 |
| Petreanko | @0erHeks one last question ... If I chose 12.04 I still can install latest software and update them when a new update is available right? | 13:34 |
| MonkeyDust | vishnu_ python is a programming code, not a desktop environment | 13:34 |
| sanman | Petreanko, after support runs out on 13.04 you will be able to upgrade to the next version | 13:34 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, no | 13:34 |
| Vivekananda | I tried doing and undoing a couple of times and restarting the machine and voila got back the 1600 and 900 , figure!! | 13:34 |
| arc__ | hello i can't get back into ubuntu | 13:34 |
| arc__ | i can't do grub-install for somereason | 13:34 |

| Petreanko | @sanman Thanks for clarifying I thought I might have to ditch it and start over again | 13:35 |
| Vivekananda | now onto printer woes | 13:35 |
| OerHeks | Petreanko, sure, you will get updates, but not newer versions of packages (functionality), else you need to upgrade | 13:35 |
| BluesKaj | fujipompon, you have to make sure the settings in pavucontrol are the same outputs as in VLC and the audio controller | 13:35 |
| sanman | Petreanko, as for the LTS versions, typically you will not see new versions of packages pushed into LTS | 13:35 |
| sanman | Petreanko, you will see bug fixes and security updates, not really new functionality | 13:35 |
| Petreanko | @0erheks Thank you | 13:36 |
| vishnu_ | Yaa Buddy it is programming language but "I am talking about Qtile" its a Window manager written in python | 13:36 |
| Petreanko | @sanman okay. so 13.04 would be a wise choice here? | 13:37 |
| kostas | can anyone help with this? I just istalled ubuntu 12.4 on a laptop. After the installation I got a prompt to remove the installation media and press enter. I did so and got to a blank screen with a cursos. The computer does not boot up 12.4, just goes blank. Any ideas? | 13:37 |
| sanman | Petreanko, most people go with the non-LTS versions because they like to get new features, I myself run some machines at LTS and some on the regular releases | 13:37 |
| fujipompon | Other basic question : at the begining of my research I thought maybe 13.04 didn't choose the proper driver ! Every body says NO WAy ! How come there's not possible anymore to try differents drivers for a device to find the est one ??? | 13:38 |
| sanman | Petreanko, it all depends on what you want | 13:38 |
| MonkeyDust | vishnu_ so it's qtile, not python, and it's a window manager, not a desktop environment | 13:38 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : On my way to check out pavucontrol | 13:38 |
| sanman | Petreanko, for a desktop machine you can probably go 13.04 | 13:38 |
| Slugze | kostas, you're sure you installed grub? | 13:39 |
| Petreanko | @sanman sorry to keep spamming you with questions... please suggest me here my use would be most for 3d and graphics design.. softwares I use would be blender, gimp, mypaint and krita othen than that libreoffice and use internet | 13:39 |
| vishnu_ | ok sry.... thanx. i am getting trouble in installing it | 13:39 |
| sanman | Petreanko, if you want a stable server that's going to get security updates for years to come go with LTS | 13:39 |
| sanman | Petreanko, go with 13.04, you'll probably be happier with that decision | 13:39 |
| kostas | Slugze: grub? | 13:39 |
| Petreanko | @sanman Thank you very much for your time and patience..I appreciate it | 13:40 |
| sanman | Petreanko, you're welcome | 13:40 |
| Petreanko | @sanman :) | 13:40 |

| roadie | good evening | 13:44 |
| Petreanko | I see ubuntustudio 13.04 this would just be more tailored pre installed packages right? its still same as ubuntu13.04 but with more packages am I right? | 13:44 |
| Petreanko | @sanman I see ubuntustudio 13.04 this would just be more tailored pre installed packages right? its still same as ubuntu13.04 but with more packages am I right? | 13:44 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: correct | 13:44 |
| roadie | do I need to install any dev-tools in ubuntu to write c++ code? not IDEs just the libraries, compilers and whatnot. | 13:44 |

| fujipompon | BluesKaj : in pavucontrol the device used seems the same than in VLC not exactly the same "spelling" but seems to aims at teh same target | 13:46 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: no grub | 13:46 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: but I think that's because I installed it wrong | 13:46 |
| Wulframn | Ah, I see. | 13:47 |
| kostas | can anyone help with this? I just istalled ubuntu 12.4 on a laptop. After the installation I got a prompt to remove the installation media and press enter. I did so and got to a blank screen with a cursos. The computer does not boot up 12.4, just goes blank. Any ideas? | 13:47 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: first of all, the ubuntu installer didn't detect any OS, which was odd | 13:47 |
| Petreanko | one quick question... the difference between ubuntustudio13.04 and ubuntu 13.04 would just be the pre installed softwares tailored for studios or is it anything else? | 13:47 |

| kostas | k1l: thanks. I cannot see how I can do any of these. I do not have access to the OS, let alone the terminal | 14:00 |
| fujipompon | BluesKaj : I mean in what "range of time" are you on this network : GMT wise I men | 14:01 |
| k1l | kostas: that needs to be set before the OS boots, in the GRUB bootloader | 14:01 |
| morsonai_ | Vivekananda: did you install the drivers? | 14:01 |
| morsonai_ | Vivekananda: would that have any change in a virtual environment? try it | 14:01 |

| Darkstar1 | blazemore: I meant will try that and see | 14:07 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: exactly, I thought that was weird | 14:07 |
| blazemore | elixir: Try going into your wireless network settings, removing the access point which is causing you problems, and then trying again to reconnect | 14:07 |

| airportyh | Wulframn: might be because my company installed this McAfree login thing in front of Win7 | 14:08 |
| Darkstar1 | just waiting on the upgrades to finish | 14:08 |
| kostas | k1l: I appreciate that. I read: "To set kernel boot options, you must edit your grub configuration. You can do this temporarily for a single boot by entering the grub menu. If you do not get to see the grub boot menu after the bios automatically, you may have to press SHIFT key after the bios logo to get in to grub:" I press shift but still get to the blank screen though | 14:08 |
| blazemore | airportyh: It's not that. It's that you need to run chkdsk on Windows before you shut down. | 14:08 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: it password protects the system before you boot windows | 14:08 |
| morsonai_ | Vivekananda: if you are missing packages also try apt-get -f install and then try the dpkg command (while in the ~/Downloads/drivers directory) | 14:08 |
| blazemore | kostas: Turn your computer off, and turn it back on while holding shift. Don't let go of shift until you see Grub | 14:08 |
| Vivekananda | morsonai_: let me check | 14:08 |

But when i'm doing mouse1(server)pc2(client) the backforwar button of the mouse is doing a "slide left and right" ( using per exemple firefox ) . So i'm wondering if theres a quickfix for that ? | 14:10 |
| Vivekananda | yes I used the first answer in there | 14:10 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: was that a new win7 install or did you have a backup of it's important parts? | 14:11 |

| morsonai_ | Vivekananda: try apt-get purge <name of drivers> and then installing them with my method. Remember apt-get -f install if it says something about dependencies not being met or not having required packages. | 14:11 |
| Vivekananda | I am on win 7 host and vbox ubuntu guest. I used the tut answer first one here http://askubuntu.com/questions/226307/how-to-install-a-brother-hl2270dw-laser-printer | 14:11 |

| Vivekananda | morsonai_: how does your method differ from that one? | 14:12 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: IT has this preinstalled image | 14:12 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: I am not going to lost any data | 14:12 |
| morsonai_ | Vivekananda: you are downloading a bash script and running it and I am telling you to manually download the .deb and use dpkg | 14:12 |
| kostas | k1l: not sure: I downloaded the iso file and created a bootable flash drive as you suggested. However, I see now that when I saw the "keyboard logo" (indicated in http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 ) I did not press F6 to set nomodeset, and hence the problem, I think | 14:12 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: Just reinstall when you can get the image and then add the McAfee software *after* grub is all setup and good to go. | 14:12 |
| Wulframn | Then if it doesn't work you'll know it's McAfee. | 14:12 |

| Darkstar1 | ye | 14:13 |

| morsonai_ | Vivekananda: remember, line 5 and 6 are jokes | 14:13 |

| Darkstar1 | nvm I'll search it | 14:14 |

| blazemore | Darkstar1: sudo apt-get install --reinstall nvidia-current | 14:14 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: The only other option would be to use a Live environment (if you're working with computers there is *no* reason not to have a LiveCD/USB of System Rescue CD) to mount and chroot into the broken install and view what's going on exactly. | 14:14 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: by live environment what do you mean exactly? And how do I get it? | 14:15 |
| Darkstar1 | blazemore: --reinstall. But thanks | 14:16 |
| kostas | any ideas on how to proceed now? | 14:16 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: Did you install Ubuntu via CD? | 14:16 |
| Vivekananda | morsonai_: the problem is I dont remember what driver was installed by that installer and also dont know enough posix regex to find out the correct one | 14:16 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: no, I made a bootable USB stick | 14:16 |
| Vivekananda | Wulframn: a question. Did you use that printer on a vbox | 14:17 |
| morsonai_ | Vivekananda: which is why you shouldn't rely on scripts to install your drivers | 14:17 |
| morsonai_ | apt-cache search brother | 14:17 |
| morsonai_ | apt-cache search cupswrapper | 14:17 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: Ok, that's good too. When you pop it in and turn on the computer make sure to boot off the USB, just like how you had to do to access the install prompt. There should be an option for Live Environment, test ubuntu before you install, etc. | 14:17 |
| Wulframn | Vivekananda: No | 14:17 |
| Wulframn | afk for a moment... | 14:17 |

I was able to successfully boot via the usb stick and install Ubuntu 12.4. However after I have done so, I got to a blank screen. Apparently there is a conflict with the graphics card and I had to set monodeset during the installation which I did not. I was pointed to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 where | 14:39 |

| Wulframn | airportyh: Ok, back. cd /mnt/ubuntu | 14:39 |
| te | kostas: But you said it wont boot.....? | 14:39 |
| kostas | end result is a computer with a blank screen that I can do nothing apart from accessing the bios settings | 14:40 |
| blazemore | elixir: Can any other devices connect to the problematic access point? | 14:40 |

| airportyh | Wulframn: done | 14:40 |
| Darkstar1 | Stilll getting the kernel mismatch problem | 14:40 |
| te | kostas: If it won't boot, it is obviously a hardware issue. | 14:40 |
| ActionParsnip | __raven: no idea, could use kazam and record the terminal window if thats what you mean | 14:40 |
| elixir | blazemore: As I said earlier, yes, to all other laptops and my phone, it can be easily connected | 14:41 |
| kostas | te: it is a conflict with graphics card issue that I cannot get past | 14:41 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: I don't remember if ubuntu has wgetpaste or not (on Gentoo right now) so try cat /boot/grub/grub.conf | wgetpaste | 14:41 |
| blazemore | Hmm elixir that is very odd. Does your computer have a make and model? | 14:41 |
| te | kostas: Do you see evidence that the Hard Drive is recognized in the BIOS settings? | 14:41 |
| Vivekananda | Wulframn: did you install it on a proper host ubutu then | 14:42 |

| Wulframn | airportyh: Ok, hang tight for a moment | 14:42 |
| Wulframn | Vivekananda: yes, I did. | 14:42 |
| blazemore | elixir: As specifically as possible | 14:42 |
| kostas | te: I was pointed to this link before. However, I cannot seem to do anything from what is suggested there. I cannot access grub | 14:43 |
| Vivekananda | I am having a weird problem but will take it in turn | 14:43 |
| __raven | ActionParsnip, the more general thing is a monitoring tool what shows traffic by host so everything iftop does but logged | 14:43 |
| blazemore | Vivekananda: What do you mean? | 14:43 |
| Vivekananda | Wulframn: a question. Suppose you leave your system for sometime and it sleeps. will the computer still recognize a print command from a networked computer and print ? | 14:44 |
| te | kostas: There are a number of BIOS configurations, (different screens and different options), so you just have to look around. And again, if you see option for seting all BIOS settings to Default, try that as well. | 14:44 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: run ls /etc/default/grub and see what it returns | 14:44 |
| Wulframn | Vivekananda: I am unsure | 14:44 |

| blazemore | elixir: "Lenovo Ideapad Y560" was enough :) | 14:45 |
| elixir | blazemore: :) | 14:45 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: Ok, that's what I was looking for. Open that with nano | 14:45 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: ok | 14:45 |
| kostas | te: just set the default settings. Does not boot. Hard drive looks ok. It was okay when I installed 12.04 a few mins ago anyway | 14:46 |
| te | kostas: If you do not get the grub screen, then nomodeset proceedures are not going to help you, (on that you are correct). If you do not get that far, the computer is not booting and it would be a hardware issue. If you have a known to be good boot disk and a known to be good hard drive, you should be able to boot to one or the other. | 14:46 |
| Vivekananda | Wulframn: do I need to install the driver too or just the cups wrapper ? | 14:46 |
| Wulframn | Vivekananda: when I did it I had to download the driver | 14:46 |
| === someone235_ is now known as someone235 | ||
| Wulframn | Or update the list of drivers via Ubuntu's printer app | 14:46 |
| === kip is now known as Guest6687 | ||
| kostas | te: the harddrive worked fine until I installed 12.04 and the boot usb stick worked fine until a few mins ago. If there was a hard disk failure I should be able to boot via the usb stick with the live version. but this is not the case either | 14:47 |
| kostas | te: hence I cannot imagine that my hard disk AND the usb live stick failed at the same time | 14:47 |
| Wulframn | airportyh: Actually, copy paste that text file to codepad and let me take a look at it. | 14:47 |
| te | kostas: If a disk is not bootable and the PC tries to boot to it and is unable to, you will usually get some sort of error. Do you see the error essage? | 14:47 |
| kostas | te: no error message whatsoever, just a black screen | 14:48 |
| te | *message* | 14:48 |
| te | kostas: Then it is a hardware issue. | 14:48 |
| kostas | te: if so, why I can't boot via the usb live stick? | 14:48 |
| Vivekananda | Wulframn: do I download that printer app or is it installed by default | 14:49 |
| ahalverson | does anyone know how to setup a tor server? | 14:49 |

| airportyh_ | Wulframn: something we did along the way to generate it? maybe grub-update | 15:19 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: ok, no worries. cp ./grub.cfg ./grub.cfg.backup | 15:19 |
| servercbe | hi! everybody... I cant see my pc in the network!... I try installin all files of SAMBA but! nothing :( somebody helpme please | 15:19 |
| airportyh_ | Wulframn: ok | 15:19 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: maybe I messed up and had you look in the live environment's /boot instead of your mounted /boot. It's my bad, I am sure. | 15:19 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: all done with that? | 15:19 |
| xtrez | MonkeyDust, the strange thing is when i search apache it only shows only paid items, but when i type apache2 then only is shows the correct package. that's really not an optimized search. | 15:19 |
| airportyh_ | Wulframn: yes | 15:19 |
| xtrez | mitch__, using apt-get it's there but doesn't shows up in ubuntu software center. | 15:20 |
| servercbe | I dont understand why i cant see my pc on the network | 15:20 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: you understand that we made a backup, right? This way if we mess up all you need to do is reload ubuntu's live environment (the one you're in now), mount /dev/sda3 (your / filesystem) to /mnt/ubuntu, then navigate to cd /mnt/ubuntu/boot/grub and copy (cp) ./grub.cfg.backup to ./grub.cfg, right? | 15:21 |
| doomlord_ | is it possdible to remap ones' keyboard partially.. i'd like to swap _ and - (shift inverted on that key..) | 15:21 |
| mitch__ | xtrez, uh yeah it might not. it should be installed if you install it via apt-get | 15:21 |
| airportyh_ | Wulframn: yes, got that | 15:21 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: Ok, I just want to make sure we're on the same page. I have to go very soon, so this way if we mess something up you can revert to how you were and get someone else to help you, too. =D | 15:21 |
| airportyh_ | Wulframn: so now overwrite with your paste? | 15:21 |
| xtrez | mitch__, yeah that is installable throught apt-get. | 15:21 |
| servercbe | I used this page http://linuxman.blogsome.com/2009/11/12/fallo-al-obtener-la-lista-de-comparticion-del-servidor-ubuntu-karmic-koala/ | 15:22 |
| servercbe | but didnt work | 15:22 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: first I want you to codepad the ./grub.cfg or it's backup so I can look at it, then paste in my file to ./grub.cfg and reboot the system after you umount /mnt/ubuntu | 15:22 |

| xtrez | mitch__, i was curious that why it was not showing up in ubuntu software center, there might be case when i can find new packages by scrolling through search results in software center. | 15:23 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: pipe it to pastebinit | 15:23 |

| === dpac|away is now known as dpac | ||
| mitch__ | xtrez, oh. well also, it might not be showing up in Software Center because it is listed under the "technical" at the bottom.... i'll look. hold on. | 15:24 |
| airportyh_ | Wulframn: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5955400/ | 15:25 |
| mitch__ | xtrez, also, apt-get warns you before installing extra packages with it... it lists what those packages are I believe. | 15:25 |
| xtrez | like for apache2, when installing it through apt-get it doesnt shows add-ons like adzapper but in software center atleast you can learn you can use such add-ons | 15:25 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: ok, now give my file a try and report back, pls | 15:26 |
| servercbe | any help? please. sorry if I am interrupting you... but I need you gays! | 15:26 |

| xtrez | mitch__, yeah | 15:26 |
| mitch__ | xtrez, yeah try choosing the technical at the bottom.... it showed more apache2 options. it did for me at least | 15:27 |
| researcher123 | how do I know space left on my disk? | 15:27 |
| servercbe | ok.. here I go... i am trying to see my pc on the network... but | 15:27 |

| mitch__ | xtrez, yeah, i see what you mean now. i am relatively new to linux in the grand scheme of things myself so. i see what you mean. yeah if you do the technical option at the bottom, i believe it will give you a better chance at finding the things you are looking for. | 15:28 |
| xtrez | mitch__, where is technical listed ? | 15:28 |
| researcher123 | how to see free memory left on hard disk | 15:28 |
| xtrez | researcher123, df -h | 15:28 |
| blazemore | researcher123: df -h | 15:28 |
| mitch__ | xtrez, so search for "apache" and then when the options show up. at the very bottom status bar, choose "Show *** Technical Items" | 15:29 |
| researcher123 | thansk xtrez | 15:29 |
| mitch__ | it should be in red | 15:29 |
| mitch__ | xtrez, then that shows more of the items you're looking for, i believe | 15:29 |
| airportyh | Wolframn: no good. Still seeing the Mcafee boot screen | 15:29 |
| servercbe | .. I dont know what to do now. .. Why i cant see my pc on the network... tell me what you need from me and I will send it to you inmediatlythanks Wulfram | 15:29 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: I think it's because I checked the box that says to install the boot loader in /dev/sda3 | 15:30 |
| xtrez | mitch__, yeah correct :) this is what i was looking for. :) so things are hidden under technical items, and other things that are meant to sell are first displayed :D | 15:30 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: Ah, ok. If you're seeing the McAfee bootscreen it sounds like windows overwrote the MBR | 15:30 |
| Lajjla | Is it weird that putty from another machine seems to yield the results of scripts faster than executing it in the terminal on the machine itself? | 15:30 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: /dev/sda3 is marked bootable and is where grub is stored, so that shouldn't be an issue | 15:31 |
| mitch__ | xtrez, sort of. it's meant to keep those old school linux technical packages and items out of the way for people that are looking for simple things. | 15:31 |
| mitch__ | xtrez, i think it's meant to take that "scary technical barrier" out of ubuntu like it used to have | 15:31 |
| xtrez | mitch__, ubuntu getting more commercialized that's not very good | 15:31 |
| Wulframn | airportyh_: I have to go. If you still don't have luck here try #linux and #grub. Sorry and goodluck, brother | 15:31 |
| airportyh | Wulframn: alright. Thanks so much for all your help! | 15:31 |
| mitch__ | xtrez, it's meant to be easier to use but still technical if you want to, i think. IMO | 15:32 |

| killer | " | 17:01 |
| antipathy | exit() | 17:01 |
| OerHeks | webderver, that would be a #virtualbox or ##windows question | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: is it just gedit, or gksudo gedit? | 17:02 |
| Walex | rhagu: probably by looking at lines marked 'udev' in /var/log/daemon.log or equivalent | 17:02 |
| webderver | mmmk thanks OerHeks | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: or 'sudo gedit' | 17:02 |
| killer | ActionParsnip: still the same result | 17:03 |
| Walex | rhagu: there is also some kind of udev/dbus command to list all devices it knows but can't remember it | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: its was a question...which is it | 17:03 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: I never suggested a fix | 17:03 |
| rhagu | Walex udevadm is what I used and they are listed at proc/bus/input | 17:04 |
| ActionParsnip | killer: are you using the fallback session? | 17:04 |

I have a Clevo P370SM (Same click pad as P370EM), which is resold as the System 76 Bonobo Extreme (an Ubuntu laptop). Unfortunately the clickpad support is horrible and System76 hasn't yet written a clickpad driver for the laptop. Is there anything else I could look at to improve performance?

| wilee-nilee | nurow, So this is fro system 76 right, they have a section at the ubuntu forums. | 17:46 |

| daftykins | Jart: ah at this point i recall something - the liveUSB naturally boots with its' existing versions of packages, i.e. kernel version etc etc, whilst you may have installed it with updates enabled - if your internet connection was active at that time it would've installed all the updates - potentially putting on a kernel/more that breaks. do you think that was likely? (you installed with updates?) | 18:15 |
| Jart | daftykins: i didn't install the packages at the initial install. i did it after the first run. the first run worked just fine. i had installed it this way in the past, and before bumblebee, it worked just fine | 18:17 |
| daftykins | Jart: ok, so far the difference i'm seeing in the logs is DRI being loaded at line 255 on the Live, but it isn't on the install | 18:18 |
| daftykins | Jart: also it looks like whilst the live picks nouveau for the nvidia, the install is going for VESA | 18:18 |

| auronandace | thecodethinker: i'm not an expert, i've only used it on minix | 18:31 |
| daftykins | Jart: i would be curious whether there's an /etc/X11/xorg.conf present in the install - likely it'd be a no because everything should just be auto detect at boot. creating one *might* be the way to go | 18:31 |

| ru0h | Hello sirs. | 18:43 |
| arleas | blazemore: The driver installed successfully - I could run a dual monitor setup and the fan speed was correct. But after three reboots, it now hangs on the login screen without any changes under CCC or similar - just running the fglrx driver stock. | 18:44 |

| arleas | blazemore: I'm in Windows - just writing down what you're telling me to do! | 19:09 |
| blazemore | Oh OK | 19:09 |
| blazemore | Well the next step depends on how you installed the fglrx driver in the first place | 19:09 |
| blazemore | For example, did you use the Additional Drivers tool, or did you download and install it yourself from AMD's website? | 19:09 |
| arleas | blazemore: I followed a guide and installed it through terminal. | 19:12 |
| blazemore | sudo sh /usr/share/ati/fglrx-uninstall.sh | 19:12 |
| blazemore | sudo apt-get remove --purge fglrx* | 19:12 |
| blazemore | In fact arleas http://wiki.cchtml.com/index.php/Ubuntu_Raring_Installation_Guide#Removing_Catalyst.2Ffglrx | 19:12 |
| blazemore | Just run the commands in that section | 19:13 |
| eaxxae | anyone know if there is anything like airparrot for *nix ? | 19:13 |
| arleas | blazemore: cheers! | 19:13 |
| arleas | blazemore: Now, if you know a way of making it quieter under the open source drivers... | 19:13 |
| blazemore | arleas: No, just install the fglrx driver properly from the Additional Drivers tool | 19:15 |
| blazemore | eaxxae: Take a look at this project which is a plugin for Totem, Ubuntu's default video player http://cgit.sukimashita.com/totem-plugin-airplay.git - XBMC also supports AirPlay | 19:15 |
| blazemore | !airplay | eaxxae | 19:15 |
| blazemore | No I didn't think so | 19:15 |
| arleas | blazemore: I did that last time... same problem. Also, I get an 'unsupported hardware' watermark in the corner of my screen. Dual monitors also doesn't work with that option. | 19:15 |
| blazemore | arleas: Stick with the open source drivers then, and fix your fan issue while using those | 19:16 |

| Sk1Special | daftykins, *shrug* it is i guess. but id rather learn how to do it in the terminal, and learn why its not working :] | 19:56 |
| hays | daftykins: something changed on my setup where booting requires manual intervention | 19:56 |
| hays | so its annoying to reboot | 19:56 |
| holstein | id rather do a fresh install.. takes about 8 minutes | 19:56 |
| holstein | hays: there are some ways to install kernel updates and not reboot, but AFAIK, those are not in default ubuntu installations.. and im not sure how one would implement it | 19:57 |

| daftykins | Sk1Special: mm fair point. i'm not sure how do-release-upgrade runs but maybe it's getting the wrong answer from whoever it's contacting | 19:58 |
| Shloop | daftykins i right clicked the drive in the device manager but it doesn't give a "assign drive letter" option | 19:58 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, hmm. do you know how would i go about checking/fixing that then ? | 19:59 |
| daftykins | Shloop: you have to do it on the partition | 19:59 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: hunting now | 19:59 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: there we go - try "sudo do-release-upgrade -d" | 19:59 |
| Shloop | daftykins how do you do that? excuse my noobishness | 20:00 |
| daftykins | Shloop: you see the partitions where it shows the size of the disk and has a blue strip along the top? | 20:00 |
| cmartin0 | I need an nvidia driver newer than 173 but older than the current one. Are these drivers in the ubuntu repository? | 20:00 |
| daftykins | Shloop: right-click on the blue/white beneath | 20:01 |
| MoPac | Hello; I have a question about installing some software from source (and I think the question is generic). I am getting an error during cmake that that it cannot find two package configuration (.cmake) files "provided by" some Qt5 software. | 20:01 |
| Shloop | daftykins ... I'm not sure what window you're talking about. Is this in the device manager on windows or in ubuntu? | 20:01 |
| daftykins | cmartin0: you can search for them with 'apt-cache search <package name...>' | 20:01 |
| MoPac | I'm wondering if this means that they are missing in the code for the software I'm installing, or if they're missing in my Qt libraries | 20:01 |
| daftykins | Shloop: diskmgmt.msc which i said to run. in windows. | 20:01 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, no go.. but i actually read through the stuff..when i do sudo apt-get update.. it shows files from ppa.launchpad.net, dl.google.com , security.ubuntu.com. us.archive.ubuntu.com and extras.ubuntu.com as *failed to download they have been ignored or old ones used instead* will this kill the upgrade? | 20:02 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: sounds like it's having issues contacting the mirrors yeah - are you behind a web proxy? | 20:02 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: can you do a "sudo apt-get update > pastebinit" ? | 20:03 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, no im not. ah yeah one second. | 20:03 |
| cmartin0 | daftykins, I don't see any old ones. So I need to get the binary driver from nvidia then? | 20:04 |
| daftykins | cmartin0: assuming you searched the APT cache for appropriate package names and it showed the versions you don't want to use with no others - yeah i'd go that route | 20:04 |
| Shloop | daftykins it only gives me delete volume and help as options | 20:05 |
| daftykins | Shloop: can you up a screenshot? | 20:05 |
| Shloop | yeah give me a couple minutes daftkins | 20:05 |
| daftykins | Shloop: actually - the USB, does it contain an *installed* Ubuntu or a made up LiveUSB version? | 20:06 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, .... i know what the problem is. nvm. on a compltely unrelated side note..how do I install the proper drivers for my wireless card in ubuntu? :] | 20:09 |
| hht | hello, i have installed this iso http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/saucy-desktop-i386.iso file using unetbootin and universal usb installer and i can't boot it, what is wrong is it for x64 ? | 20:09 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: no net conn? :) | 20:09 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, yeah lol. how do i install the drivers for this usb wireless card? just run sudo apt-get update or? | 20:09 |
| kriskropd | Is anyone here familiar with feh? I want to set a background in dwm like this 'feh --no-xinerama --bg-center image.jpg' and it works, but now I see I would like to have the image off center by a few hundred pixels for a better background, can I do this using just feh, or do I have to custom edit the image? | 20:10 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: can you just upgrade over wired first, then hope 13.04 has lovely working wireless? :D | 20:10 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: i think the above would be a less painful approach ^ | 20:10 |

| Sk1Special | its a netgear WNA3100(v1) Wireless-N 300 [Broadcom BCM43231] and I prefer cable too..just no reach here. | 20:15 |
| daftykins | Shloop: that's a 1TB drive! :) is it the second entry maybe? scroll down in the window... | 20:16 |
| daftykins | Shloop: (below the CD drives) | 20:16 |
| Shloop | daftykins yeah i know! And it's already almost 3/4ths the way full lol. It's actually listed as disk one in the second row | 20:18 |
| daftykins | Shloop: i thought you were trying to get files off a flash drive, not an HDD | 20:18 |
| Shloop | so i'm assuming there's a different way of doing it then daftykins? | 20:19 |
| home | Hi I have an question and, to be honest, I am not entirely sure if this is the right channel. --I have installed a couple of games from the repos and they all have a tendency to move the cursor/character to the top left of the screen as if i was pressing the <left> and <up> keys | 20:19 |
| daftykins | Shloop: right now - you have files on a flash drive and it's plugged in, correct? | 20:19 |
| daftykins | Shloop: 8GB flash drive judging by that window? | 20:19 |
| Shloop | daftykins: yep | 20:19 |
| home | the games affected so far are Tumiki Fighters, Alex the Alligator, Frogatto and Titanion | 20:19 |
| Shloop | wait 8 gbs? | 20:19 |
| daftykins | Shloop: if you right click that second entry that says 7.91GB under capacity, does it give the option to change drive letter...? | 20:20 |
| home | other games I have installed are not affected and it doesn't seem to happen in any other app. any ideas? | 20:20 |
| Shloop | oh okay i see what you're talking about | 20:20 |
| Shloop | uhh let me see | 20:20 |
| Shloop | nope. same thing. delete volume or help are my only options | 20:20 |
| Shloop | daftykins: | 20:20 |
| daftykins | Shloop: so is it a LiveUSB? or an installed ubuntu *on* the flash drive? | 20:22 |
| Shloop | daftykins it's actually installed on the HDD | 20:22 |
| daftykins | Shloop: what's on the flash drive then? :D | 20:23 |

| === rew1red|away is now known as rew1red | ||

| Shloop | daftykins yeah it's in my downloads folder on the ubuntu drive | 20:27 |
| daftykins | Shloop: ok, if that's the same computer you could use ubuntu to mount the NTFS windows partition (or any, preferably a storage only drive) and copy it over | 20:28 |
| Shloop | is that the only option daftykins? I made a mistake saying that I wanted to copy the files over. I don't have enough space on my drive to do that. I just want to access the contents of the 1tb HDD | 20:30 |

| Shloop | daftykins noooooooo | 20:31 |

| linrunix | reisio: one is the internal card (intel) and an external card (ATI) | 20:43 |

| reisio | linrunix: which drivers? | 20:43 |
| linrunix | Both cards work perfectly when the other monitors are umplugged. But together is a no go. | 20:43 |
| Sk1Special | wilee-nilee, lol alright. I think youre the one that helped me with my video drives before tho right? i may be asking for help with that in a minute | 20:44 |

| vmussa | Hello, I just installed the haskell platform package from ubuntu repositories but it asked me to uninstall some packages, and I think because of that ubuntu can't boot with graphical user interface anymore | 20:50 |
| vmussa | anyone knows what packages I need to reinstall or something? | 20:51 |
| wilee-nilee | !info haskell | 20:51 |
| ubottu | Package haskell does not exist in raring | 20:51 |
| reisio | vmussa: ordinary Ubuntu? | 20:51 |
| histo | vmussa: well which packages did it uninstall? | 20:51 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, What release you running? | 20:51 |
| vmussa | reisio, it is precise | 20:51 |
| vmussa | I don't remember exactly what packages but I do remember a "x" in its name | 20:51 |
| reisio | vmussa: could try sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop | 20:52 |
| histo | vmussa: take a look at your /var/log/apt/history.log | 20:52 |
| vmussa | I think it is some graphical lib perhaps? | 20:52 |
| reisio | perhaps | 20:52 |
| vmussa | ok histo | 20:52 |
| vmussa | reisio, ubuntu-desktop is the graphical packages? | 20:52 |
| vmussa | histo, apparently this "history.log" only saves what I did since I booted? | 20:53 |
| vmussa | because I installed haskell platform yesterday, and only today I could get the boot problem | 20:54 |
| histo | vmussa: there are older versions gzipped in the /var/log/apt/ directory you can use zless to view those | 20:54 |

| Vivekananda | hey everyone. I was trying this to make my ip static -- http://superuser.com/questions/357120/how-do-i-setup-a-virtualbox-server-with-a-static-ip . But when I restarted my virtual box , eth0 completely disappeared :(. | 20:56 |
| Vivekananda | what did I do wrong ? | 20:56 |
| hadifarnoud | https://gist.github.com/hadifarnoud/8b6d7edfdf91505883ee | 20:56 |
| histo | Vivekananda: perhaps a typo in your /etc/network/interfaces | 20:57 |
| linrunix | reisio: reading only they say that the restricted drivers breaks my card :/ | 20:57 |
| linrunix | Looks like my card is old | 20:57 |
| histo | Vivekananda: can you pastebinit so we can take a look | 20:57 |
| linrunix | xrandr? | 20:58 |
| histo | Vivekananda: also somewhere above those settings make sure you have auto eth0 line that way the interface is brought up on boot with those settings | 20:58 |

| Nico___ | Hey all | 21:04 |
| histo | Number6: memtest | 21:04 |
| GabeTheBabe | histo, what I need to back up of his windows installation. His OS is borked and I need to fix it lol | 21:04 |
| histo | GabeTheBabe: which version of windows? | 21:05 |
| Nico___ | I want to install Ubuntu via Wubi, is this a valid way to go? Or do I just need to format my machine? | 21:05 |
| numberto | Hi guys, I am on ubuntu 13.04 and have some random presses, buttons which I don't press. Some programs start randomly. | 21:05 |
| Number6 | histo: Already ran overnight, nothing noted | 21:05 |
| usr13 | Number6: As histo suggests 1) memtest 2) clean / regrease | 21:05 |
| reisio | Nico___: it's suboptimal | 21:05 |
| histo | Nico___: no dualboot | 21:05 |
| wilee-nilee | GabeTheBabe, open it from the left panel in ubunt's home and recovery what is needed. | 21:05 |
| histo | Number6: power supply? | 21:05 |
| Number6 | usr13: The CPU? | 21:05 |
| usr13 | Number6: Yes | 21:05 |
| usr13 | Number6: (Could be heat related.) | 21:06 |
| Number6 | usr13: Great. I'll give that a try tomorrow. | 21:06 |
| kaelter | numberto: can you check to make sure nothing is inserted in a usb slot that isn't supposed to be? I've had people prank me like that before. | 21:06 |
| Number6 | I've a feeling it's h/w related - the server is ~8 years old at this stage | 21:06 |
| histo | GabeTheBabe: if it's >XP then mount the windows driver and copy out his Users\$USER directory | 21:06 |
| histo | s/driver/drive/ | 21:06 |
| numberto | kaelter: No I don't have | 21:06 |
| histo | Number6: if you have a spare power supply I would go there. | 21:06 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: wired isn't an option then? :) | 21:07 |
| vmussa | histo, I found the packages it uninstalled: almost everything is related to "x11-apps", "xserver", "xorg-video" and things like that | 21:07 |
| vmussa | like those* | 21:07 |
| histo | vmussa: Yeah you need those | 21:07 |
| Nico___ | histo: So I can keep my old files and stuff, just have the option to boot into Windows or Ubuntu? | 21:07 |
| Vivekananda | histo: yep I did not input the eth0 line earlier . now I did . So what I am trying to follow is this http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/ubuntu/change-ubuntu-server-from-dhcp-to-a-static-ip-address/ | 21:07 |
| reisio | vmussa: that'd do it | 21:07 |
| vmussa | I see | 21:07 |
| Vivekananda | I now got the eth0 but I dont have net | 21:07 |
| Vivekananda | histo: should I post my ifconfig and also my /etc/network/interfaces ? | 21:08 |
| vmussa | histo, reisio, so I should copy whatever it uninstalled and install again? | 21:08 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: Does the router have DHCP server running? | 21:08 |
| Vivekananda | usr13: not very familiar with dhcp setting but yes it is checked | 21:09 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: Is it connected to the LAN but no internet? | 21:09 |
| reisio | vmussa: try ubuntu-desktop first | 21:09 |
| histo | Vivekananda: if you didn't have the auto eth0 line in there that's why eth0 didn't start on boot. Once it's there restart and all will be good | 21:09 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: Can you ping the gateway router? | 21:09 |
| Vivekananda | usr13: my host is win 7 has the router and has net. my ubuntu is a guest on vbox . I changed the network mode to abridged and since I am hosting a LOCal app I am trying to get it to show a static internal ip | 21:10 |
| histo | Vivekananda: If you have no net and can ping 8.8.8.8 you need to add nameservers to your interfaces | 21:10 |
| Vivekananda | histo: do I ping from the vm or from win7 to the internet ? | 21:10 |
| histo | Vivekananda: ping 8.8.8.8 on the vm | 21:10 |
| Vivekananda | yes it pings | 21:11 |
| Vivekananda | receiving | 21:11 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: Add line to /etc/resolv.conf "nameserver 8.8.8.8" | 21:11 |
| vmussa | reisio, ok | 21:11 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: and/or take out the bogus one. | 21:11 |
| histo | Vivekananda: then in the /etc/network/interfaces file add dns-nameservers 8.8.8.8 whatever else | 21:12 |
| histo | usr13: you can't use resolv.conf because it will be overwritten by the resolvconf package | 21:12 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: Or, yes, do as histo said. | 21:12 |
| usr13 | histo: Yes, quite possibly, (but only if he is set to dhcp). | 21:12 |
| histo | Vivekananda: just make sure it's in the iface section | 21:13 |
| Vivekananda | following histo then . Also the resolv.conf tells me do not edit this file-- changes will be overwritten :( | 21:13 |
| Traccy | histo : http://pastie.org/8212836 | 21:13 |
| histo | usr13: no it will still be overwritten even without dhcp on boot | 21:13 |

| Vivekananda | histo: you said to add dns-nameserver S ? singular or plural ? | 21:14 |
| usr13 | histo: Yes, but if the dhcp server is giving correct info, (valid nameserver), it won't matter. | 21:14 |
| Vivekananda | also let me paste what I have after adding | 21:15 |
| histo | Traccy: 1. Why are you logged in as root? 2. What version of ubuntu are you running | 21:15 |
| Traccy | yes iam root | 21:15 |
| wilee-nilee | gregor3005, Possible number of issues in general ram amount, graphic drivers are two that come to mind, bad iso or burn. | 21:15 |

| reisio | vmussa: how is that a problem? | 21:17 |
| gregor3005 | wilee-nilee: the iso is ok, boots perfect with an vm, ram = 1,5gb, graphic is onboard -> i try ubuntu 12 | 21:17 |
| histo | usr13: no dns-nameservers 123.123.123.123 201.201.201.201 you can specify multiples | 21:17 |

| daftykins | gregor3005: sounds like the systems graphics card isn't supported | 21:18 |
| freddianlopez | hello | 21:18 |
| Vivekananda | should I restart my host too ? or just the vm ? | 21:18 |
| wilee-nilee | gregor3005, Cool, there is always xubuntu and lubuntu. | 21:18 |
| reisio | hi | 21:18 |
| usr13 | histo: Ok. Well, it is something I don't use. I either set perminate leases in the router or set to static and just edit /etc/resolv.conf | 21:18 |
| histo | Vivekananda: you can just restart networking | 21:18 |
| gregor3005 | daftykins: i have an ati 9250 (128mb ddr) which i can test with this workstation | 21:19 |

| reisio | vmussa: you get that every reboot? Since reinstalling ubuntu-desktop? | 21:24 |
| histo | Vivekananda: yeap looks good | 21:24 |
| vmussa | reisio, histo, yes, even now that I reinstalled ubuntu-desktop | 21:24 |
| vmussa | maybe I should reinstall GRUB2? | 21:24 |
| Guest58029 | wilee-nilee, linux/ubuntu is good for that increased added security and privacy.... the worst set up would probably be with a Windows OS and an Intel CPU | 21:25 |
| Vivekananda | ok let me try | 21:25 |
| reisio | vmussa: is it a '>' prompt? | 21:26 |
| Vivekananda | had two other things | 21:26 |
| vmussa | reisio, yes "grub> " | 21:26 |
| gregor3005 | daftykins, usr13: good news, with the ati card unity starts up | 21:26 |

| Lajjla | So I have some scripts which compute some output, for some reason if I run these through putty on another machine I get the output faster. Is iths normal? | 21:28 |
| histo | Vivekananda: because you configured the /etc/network/interfaces manually. If you are using network-manager just configure the interface in there for static | 21:29 |
| Lajjla | Like if I putty via another machine, doe sit then run the scripts on the other computer's CPU or what? | 21:29 |
| iceroot_ | Lajjla: yes | 21:29 |
| gregor3005 | daftykins: i'm excited how it runs | 21:29 |
| Prometheian | I'm getting errors trying to start CGMiner. When I use -u and -p for my user and password, it says "Use only user + pass or userpass, but not both." even if I just use -u | 21:29 |
| histo | Lajjla: the processing is done on the other machine just as if you were running the script locally | 21:29 |
| Lajjla | iceroot_, seriously? So even if I don't have python installd on the other machine? | 21:30 |
| Lajjla | It loads python into memory via the internet on the other machine and interprets the script there? | 21:30 |
| iceroot_ | Lajjla: when python is not installed on the target you cant execute python there | 21:30 |
| iceroot_ | Lajjla: ssh is just giving you remote access to the other machine | 21:30 |
| Traccy | histo : sorry for dissconect what was you say | 21:30 |
| Lajjla | I feel we are talking past each other, I'm using SSH | 21:30 |
| Vivekananda | histo: got it . so I should now disable networ-manager ( will miss the connection strength symbol though bu it is no biggie). Also now if I do sudo service networking restart then it would same as the init.d networking stop and start right ? | 21:30 |
| iceroot_ | !ssh | Lajjla | 21:30 |
| ubottu | Lajjla: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) | 21:30 |
| Lajjla | iceroot_, so is or isn't it executed on the machine which runs putty with SSH? | 21:31 |
| vmussa | reisio, I managed to boot ubuntu from this prompt with help from some website | 21:32 |
| vmussa | reisio, but it was like a recovery mode terminal only boot | 21:32 |
| reisio | vmussa: that doesn't answer my question | 21:32 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, this is a partitioned installed | 21:32 |
| vmussa | reisio, I'm trying to remember exactly but it was something like: | 21:32 |
| vmussa | grub> linux (hd0,1)/boot/vmlinuz-2.6.27-9-generic root=/dev/sda1; | 21:33 |
| vmussa | grub> initrd (hd0,1)/boot/initrd.img-2.6.27-9-generic; | 21:33 |
| vmussa | grub> boot | 21:33 |
| Ben64 | vmussa: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair | 21:33 |
| Vivekananda | Lajjla: from what little i know putty will allow you to execute code to the other computer ( not the one you are sitting in front) as if you were physically there | 21:33 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, Are you in your desktop? | 21:34 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, I'm running Xchat on windows on my desktop and trying to boot ubuntu again on my laptop | 21:34 |
| Ben64 | vmussa: use the boot repair i linked you to | 21:35 |
| Vivekananda | histo: ? | 21:35 |
| Lajjla | Vivekananda, so even though the other computer has no python implementation installs, it over the network loads the python interpreter into memory and executes the script on the putty machine which is 64 bit to the 32 bit host machine and both having different operating systems? | 21:35 |
| Lajjla | Impressive stuff, technology has no limit | 21:35 |
| vmussa | Ben64, I think I will try to reinstall grub first | 21:35 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, Sounded like you manually booted to the desktop is this right or still no X. | 21:35 |
| Vivekananda | Lajjla: I am not sure if the script will execute on the remote if it does not have python | 21:35 |
| Vivekananda | have you tried calling the interpreter on the remote and seeing if it is there ? | 21:36 |
| Lajjla | Vivekananda, what if they have different versions which have different behaviours? | 21:36 |
| Ben64 | Lajjla: you're making it too complicated. the client doesn't matter at all. the server is the one doing all the processing | 21:36 |
| Vivekananda | perhaps a simple python --version > text will tell you | 21:36 |
| Vivekananda | Lajjla: irrespective of the versions , the execution will depend on the language bein present but yes | 21:36 |
| Vivekananda | the speed might differ. But is this question ubuntu related ? | 21:36 |
| Vivekananda | coz if not then ..... | 21:37 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, I don't understand what you're saying :( | 21:37 |
| kriskropd | Is anyone here familiar with feh? I want to set a background in dwm like this 'feh --no-xinerama --bg-center image.jpg' and it works, but now I see I would like to have the image off center by a few hundred pixels for a better background. Can I do this using just feh, or do I have to custom edit the image? | 21:37 |
| cerv0 | hello evreybody since a while i've been looking for an offline translator "englesh to french" but i can't find it , someone can help me with that? | 21:38 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, Have you gotten to the desktop as of late the commands to boot grub> you posted are a manual boot. | 21:38 |
| histo | Vivekananda: yes | 21:38 |
| Lajjla | Vivekananda, quite fascinating, I always just assumed SSH just backstaged a terminal on the host machine and then relayed the input | 21:38 |
| Vivekananda | lol then you need to know ssh a little more. Doesnot tunnel ring a bell ( english wise ) . why would you tunnel through your own home ( very naively speaking) | 21:39 |
| histo | Vivekananda: Yes restart is the same as stop then start and yes you no longer need network-manager if you are using a hard configured interfaces file | 21:39 |
| Vivekananda | histo: great | 21:40 |
| === sg_ is now known as sgex | ||
| Vivekananda | histo: had an offtopic python question actually. could I ask you somewhere ? or laters ? | 21:40 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, since I removed the X packages, I couldn't boot ubuntu. So I tried to update GRUB through the ubuntu recory boot menu. When I restarted the computer, GRUB had no graphic interface anymore, and now I have to manually boot ubuntu | 21:40 |
| cerv0 | hello evreybody since a while i've been looking for an offline translator "englesh to french" but i can't find it , someone can help me with that? | 21:41 |
| histo | Lajjla: When you execute commands via ssh they are run on the remote system that you are connecting to | 21:41 |
| histo | Vivekananda: pm and I'll try and answer | 21:41 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, I did it once, and managed to reinstall ubuntu-desktop. Now I'm trying to remember how to get to ubuntu again | 21:41 |
| Lajjla | histo, and if the remote system does not have the interpreter? | 21:41 |
| histo | Lajjla: the only thing displayed locally is the output all processing work horse stuff is done on the remote machine | 21:41 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, And the manual boot gets you to the desktop, you can do all the grub things you need from the dektop. | 21:41 |
| histo | Lajjla: then the script won't run | 21:41 |
| Lajjla | histo, ehh wait, remote system is the host right? | 21:42 |
| histo | Lajjla: yes | 21:42 |
| Lajjla | Yeah, had that mixed up | 21:42 |
| Lajjla | Okay,t that's what I assumed | 21:42 |
| Lajjla | histo, so, I am then confused, why does the script run noticibly faster if I execute it with putty from another machine | 21:42 |
| histo | Lajjla: like if I use ssh on computer A to connect to computer B. Computer B is doing all the processing work. Computer A is just displaying output | 21:42 |
| Lajjla | I'm talking about a script which takes about 15 seconds on one machine to return the value and does it in 5 with putty. | 21:43 |
| Lajjla | histo, yeah that is what I assumed | 21:43 |
| Ben64 | Lajjla: either you're incorrect in timing, or something else is slowing it down | 21:43 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, But I can't remember how to get to the desktop | 21:43 |

| histo | Lajjla: Differences in the hardware/software. Like windows vs. linux | 21:43 |
| Lajjla | Ben, maybe Konsole is just a slow terminal hmm | 21:43 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, Bootrepair fixes grub generally | 21:43 |

| histo | Traccy: and maybe someone else can help you. | 21:44 |
| kriskropd | Lajjla: and like others are saying, you might be using a slow terminal or an environment with a lot of overhead - try with xterm or rxvt | 21:44 |
| kriskropd | OerHeks: I read the manual several times and couldn't find it, so I thought I would ask around, thanks for double checking :) | 21:45 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, You have multiple options, a manual as you did, the easiest is supergrub from a disc or usb to get to the desktop and repair grub or load ot to the mbr from the terminal. | 21:45 |
| Lajjla | Oh I'm an idiot, I know what causes it, the script retrives data from the internet, whenever I did it on the host itself I was also using the internet in the mean while. == | 21:46 |
| sgex | what IRC client do you guys recommend using on ubuntu? | 21:46 |
| OerHeks | kriskropd, there is a Pan option, see "buttons" section, not sure if that can do what you want. | 21:46 |
| Lajjla | Depends on what you want. | 21:46 |
| kriskropd | sgex: pidgin if you must have gui, irssi otherwise | 21:46 |
| histo | sgex: weechat | 21:46 |
| mitch__ | sgex, i'm currently using XChat and i really like it so far | 21:46 |
| Lajjla | People who recommend anything without asking you what you want tend to recommend the wrong thing for your personal needs | 21:46 |
| zykotick9 | sgex: xchat is popular gui client, irssi/weechat for console is popular | 21:47 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, I think will try supergrub then | 21:47 |
| k1l_ | sgex: xchat, irssi,... the list is long. better test what suits you best | 21:47 |
| sgex | I was using xchat-gnome but it keeps crashing on 13.04 | 21:47 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, bootrepair from a live cd/usb regular fix will probably fix this as well, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repairsave the url generated. | 21:47 |
| k1l_ | sgex: try the real xchat without that -gnome | 21:47 |
| sgex | cheers for suggestions, I know it was a generic question | 21:47 |
| sgex | I will | 21:47 |

| vmussa | wilee-nilee, do you recommend reinstalling grub2 now? | 22:00 |
| Vivekananda | histo: the other on topic question was. after doing all that I got a static internal ip. so 1. could I give it a name so anyone wanting to go it write a word instead of 10.2.3.4 .. 2. If I wanted to expose this app to external world would I use the same ip ( reading material for it plz ) 3. I wanted to understand how all this set up takes place esp what nameserver does . ubuntu reading was helpful but more of it plz | 22:00 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, the two are different and have diffrent fixes, took a inordinate amount of posts and time to get you here by many on the channel, would like to get you fixed. ;) | 22:00 |
| Sk1Special | okay so im running the upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04 in terminal..it said there was an issue with the desktop file and gave me a couple options..i chose to looj at the list using D and see what the differences were.. when i scroll to the end it just shows END.. how do i get back to the upgrade | 22:00 |
| ubuntutis | i tried googling the issue but it doesnt clarify t | 22:00 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, haha sure! | 22:00 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, Can you screenshot gparted and imagebin it you may need to install it. | 22:00 |
| Vivekananda | histo: sent you the pm too ! | 22:01 |
| wilee-nilee | !imagebin | vmussa | 22:02 |
| ubottu | vmussa: Screenshots can be made with the [PrtScr] button. Want to show us a screenshot of your problem? Upload an image to http://imagebin.org/?page=add and post a link to it. | 22:02 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: installing samba on it and configuring it to broadcast its' hostname may allow the other computers on the network to resolve its' IP by hostname, yeah | 22:02 |
| Sk1Special | okay i got back.. is it gonna mess with anything by accepting the new version of /etc/gnome/defaults.list? | 22:02 |
| daftykins | take a backup just in case | 22:03 |
| daftykins | i would say no | 22:03 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, the bots message tells you the screenshot method and place to post it | 22:03 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, ok | 22:03 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, is it for future problems? | 22:03 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, No I an jut trying to confirm your partitioning setup. | 22:04 |

| DAL|Desktop | Hullo, running 12.04, I can't figure out how to restart ALSA since there isn't a /etc/init.d/alsa-utils what should I be using instead? | 22:08 |
| wilee-nilee | demifuror, sudo fdisk -l will list all partitions | 22:08 |

| histo | !sudo | demifuror | 22:09 |
| hadifarnoud | my squid doesn't have ssl support? sudo squid3 -v |grep ssl shows me nothing | 22:09 |
| ubottu | demifuror: 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 | 22:09 |
| wilee-nilee | demifuror, Ubuntu has no root password. | 22:09 |
| histo | demifuror: there is no root password | 22:09 |

| demifuror | okay thanks guys | 22:10 |
| histo | demifuror: and actually lsblk doesn't require sudo priveledges | 22:10 |
| wilee-nilee | demifuror, there is a user password in the install to get superuser access. | 22:10 |

| ss__ | hello, how long it usually takes to shrink file system and get unformatted space for other OS, besides ubuntu? | 22:16 |
| MrSassyPants | still nothing | 22:17 |
| ss__ | I have booted Live CD, and trying to use Gparted for getting free partition, for other OS I want to install besides ubuntu | 22:17 |
| k1l_ | ss__: depends on how big the hdd is, the partitions are, what filesystems, how fast the pc is, etc et c etc | 22:17 |
| histo | ss__: depends how much data is there that you are trying to move | 22:17 |
| ss__ | 200 G | 22:17 |
| ss__ | B | 22:17 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, DUDE YOU HAVE TAKEN A GIGANTIC AMOUNT OF TIME TO GET HERE, YOU DO NOT READ THE POSTS AND FOLLOW THEM, OR SAY WHEN YOU DO NOT UNDERSTAND. WE NEED TO CONFIRM THE PARTITIONING SYSTEM TO FIX THIS CORRECTLY, THE BOOTINFO SUMMARY WILL GIVE US THE INFO NEEDED. | 22:17 |
| ss__ | I need to free | 22:17 |

| wilee-nilee | vmussa, Thanks a lot looks good just run this command sudo grub-install /dev/sda then run sudo update-grub and you should be set. ;) | 22:29 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, From your install desktop of course in the terminal. | 22:29 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, but, in fact GRUB2 is now working normally here, should I do this anyway? | 22:29 |
| * xrandr loves having ubuntu on his new laptop instead of Windows 8 :) | 22:29 | |

| vladimir | хэй | 22:30 |
| vmussa | I run this in the terminal: sudo apt-get install grub2 | 22:30 |
| vmussa | ran* | 22:30 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, Heh, you had been manually booting before so it magically fixed itself or was this a communication problem? | 22:31 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, in fact, I only had to manually boot when I updated GRUB after removing X packages | 22:31 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, I updated GRUB that time, because I thought this was the problem | 22:32 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, then I got a GRUB version without graphic interface | 22:32 |
| wilee-nilee | vmussa, You had at one point said grub got you in but after we were working on supergrub which boots grub, so anyway glad your working, lol. | 22:32 |
| vmussa | wilee-nilee, after I reinstalled the X packages, I reinstalled grub too, I didn't use supergrub | 22:33 |

| daftykins | Ghoul_: i think there was a developers channel that might be more apt, #ubuntu-devel perhaps | 22:59 |
| ajeffri | Ghoul_: sounds like you need to run update-grub or something | 22:59 |
| Ghoul_ | ah ok. thans | 22:59 |
| ajeffri | good call...you should probably check with the devs on this | 22:59 |
| Ghoul_ | I looked at the grub file myself (i'm an arch user, so im pretty apt at that) and it looks fine | 22:59 |
| === BadLarry_ is now known as BadLarry | ||
| Ghoul_ | the command line params are exactly the same for my custom one and the one that boots | 23:00 |

| ajeffri | definitely a problem for someone with more knowledge than I. I hope you are able to get help. | 23:01 |

| wilee-nilee | Ghoul_, For the record any kernels beside the stock installs are technically not supported. | 23:05 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: just run 'sudo modprobe <modulename>' | 23:06 |

| Sk1Special | wilee-nilee, daftykins lol its a broadcom bcm43231. none of the linux drivers work for that exact model.. but i found the windows driver loader thing that does get it to work..and its working now..the guide was just saying that i had to run gksudo /etc/modules and add 'ndiswrapper' to that list so that i wouldnt have to restart it everytime i restarted..but that command didnt return anything so | 23:08 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: ah cool | 23:09 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: so how come wired wasn't an option? 'cause like once you upgrade you'll probably need to undo a lot of what you've done :< | 23:09 |
| daftykins | or even re-do | 23:09 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, ah yeah no already finished upgrading and all through a shared wired link to my laptop..but obviously that wont work longterm so. i ran sudo modprobe ndiswrapper like you said..didnt give me any feedback just took it..so is that good now? | 23:10 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: you may need to restart network manager to make it realise - if the interface has just appeared | 23:11 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, i need to do what? exactly how? lol. here before we do all that..let me restart and see if it stays | 23:12 |
| daftykins | ;) | 23:12 |
| Sk1Special | while im here.. is it normal to have an exceptionally long start up? before it says ubuntu when it gets to just the cursor flashing it stays there for a good 2 minutes with no activity lights showing | 23:15 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: what kind of computer? laptop? what brand? what kind of storage, SSD/HDD? | 23:16 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, well pc, hdd, around 60gb free i think, older core 2 duo setup..im just asking cus its significantly longer then 12.10 startup was | 23:17 |

| daftykins | Sk1Special: ah actually you said cursor flashing, that could be post HDD read - try playing with bootchart | 23:18 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, mhh..only os on the drive.. i have another drive with win8 installed. but its just taking a lot longer then it did before i upgraded from 12.10 is all. | 23:19 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, boot chart? ah the wireless is working. ok ill worry about the start up another day since its not a huge deal. how do i shrink my second monitor by about an inch so it all fits on the screen | 23:19 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: probably a potential downside to upgrades over clean installs *shrug* bootchart should show where the delay is | 23:19 |
| fudus | do you have encrypted swap? that bugged out for me in 13 and i had to change it to unencrypted | 23:19 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: how do you mean shrink a monitor? | 23:20 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, like, i have a dual monitor setup, and it does this same thing in windows, to where the second monitor..the picture is about an inch to big. maybe half inch. so instead of seeing the whole menu bar at the top..i just see a sliver of grey | 23:21 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: is it connected over HDMI? | 23:21 |
| fudus | change the resolution of the second monitor to native, highest is usually it | 23:21 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, yeah. is it just an hdmi issue? i have a vga cable i could use too | 23:21 |
| daftykins | HDMI tends to do overscan especially on TVs | 23:21 |
| karoly | Hi! | 23:21 |
| Sk1Special | fudus, yeah tried all the resolutions. yeah it is supposed to be a tv. | 23:22 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: what graphics? i've adjusted overscan in nvidia's settings before, but not sure on others | 23:22 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, ah its nvidia | 23:22 |
| daftykins | it's definitely overscan if it's a TV | 23:22 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: cool, run nvidia-settings and look for the overscan value slider | 23:22 |
| === derrikman is now known as derrik | ||
| Sk1Special | daftykins, ah.. dont see an overscan bar, dithering, mode, depth, vibrance,sharpening, .. | 23:24 |
| lauralee | hello boys! I'm using Windows XP which I don't want anymore, I want to move to Ubuntu 13.04 which I already downloaded, the think is I have 12GB of pics songs I want to save, is there a way to create a partition to move those files then see them under ubuntu? | 23:24 |
| lauralee | if so, how? | 23:25 |
| lauralee | thanks! | 23:25 |
| MaximLevitsky | could someone help me with layouts in swing? | 23:25 |
| MaximLevitsky | sorry, wrong channel | 23:26 |
| daftykins | MaximLevitsky: a java channel might be somewhat more appropriate | 23:26 |
| daftykins | XD | 23:26 |
| daftykins | lauralee: hi, you could install ubuntu alongside XP instead and then simply read the windows drive? | 23:26 |
| Kardos | hey, so i tried to install a .deb file from sid unstable - it failed due to dependencies -- ok fine, but now my apt-get is fuckered, it somehow has that install pending and won't go away (apt-get clean, apt-get update, apt-get -f install, all of these didn't fix it) | 23:27 |
| Kardos | any ideas? | 23:27 |
| derrik | if you have only one partition and it takes all hd space you have to shrink it with some program, then create another partition for those pics... easiest would be to just backup them to external hd or usb stick | 23:27 |
| karoly | lauralee: you could use EASUS Partition Manager | 23:27 |
| lauralee | karoly: from windows? | 23:28 |
| karoly | lauralee: Yep | 23:28 |
| lauralee | awesome! | 23:28 |
| lauralee | what format should I use to make it shown in windows and linux? | 23:28 |
| daftykins | Kardos: pastebin apt-get -f install ? | 23:28 |
| wilee-nilee | lauralee, Make sure xp is fully defragged before resizing, that can be a bricking situation on occasion, I would have a clone of it to start with. | 23:30 |
| Kardos | daftykins, http://pastebin.com/7kswumCN | 23:30 |
| === DenBeiren is now known as zz_DenBeiren | ||
| derrik | why dont you just buy usb stick.. its like 10 euros | 23:31 |
| derrik | and backup those pics | 23:31 |
| Kardos | i want to keep libxml2 version 2.7.8.dfsg-5.1ubuntu4.6 from precise repos, and get rid of 2.9.0+dfsg1-4ubuntu4.3 | 23:32 |
| daftykins | Kardos: 'dpkg purge libxml2 libxml2:i386 libxml2-dev' do anything? | 23:32 |
| Kardos | dpkg: error: need an action option | 23:32 |
| histo | !pin | Kardos | 23:32 |
| ubottu | Kardos: pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 23:32 |
| derrik | or you could upload those pics into some cloud drive on the internet | 23:32 |
| Sk1Special | can she not just use whatever form of cloude storage that can be viewed in both? skydrive, google drive, etc. | 23:32 |
| Sk1Special | lol. | 23:33 |
| derrik | lol | 23:33 |
| Sk1Special | and i have no overscan slider. so ima just plug in my vga cable instead | 23:33 |
| histo | lauralee: ext3 can be seen by both with a driver installed for windows. fs-driver.org or you could use ntfs or fat32 | 23:33 |
| daftykins | Kardos: maybe dpkg -r <package> (where package = package.deb) | 23:34 |
| Kardos | dpkg: error: you must specify packages by their own names, not by quoting the names of the files they come in | 23:34 |
| Kardos | on one hand, it serves me right for attempting to do anything outside of the package manager, but on the other hand, what the fuck >:| | 23:35 |
| wilee-nilee | !language | Kardos | 23:35 |
| ubottu | Kardos: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 23:35 |
| Kardos | i dont see how pinning will help here | 23:36 |
| Kardos | i can't do any install or deinstall of any package whatsoever | 23:36 |
| fudus | time for reinstall of ubuntu ;) | 23:36 |
| Kardos | no ;P | 23:36 |
| daftykins | Kardos: yeah, whichever name the package calls itself then :) | 23:36 |
| daftykins | Kardos: in fairness when you said you also took it from another distro - eek. | 23:37 |
| fudus | it probably blew up libc or something with a different version and that works... poorly | 23:37 |
| Kardos | but it didn't install! | 23:37 |
| daftykins | Kardos: does your 'view' still show the history when you tried to install it? showing what it calls itself? in fact just go to install it again and take the name it uses :) | 23:38 |
| McDeffice | I have an problem for compiling kvirc with svn source : kvirc/src/modules/snd/libkvisnd.cpp:37:18: error fatale: QSound : No such file or directory <-- How install QSound ? | 23:38 |
| fudus | try build-dep kvirc beforehand? | 23:38 |
| fudus | that'll fetch the 34343 kde modules it needs | 23:39 |
| Kardos | http://pastebin.com/EwWuY1Bu | 23:39 |
| Kardos | so it didn't install | 23:40 |
| Sk1Special | i just plugged swapped my cables from hdmi to vga and it shut off my pc? | 23:41 |
| Sk1Special | when i rebooted it brought me straight to the desktop tho..no start up | 23:41 |
| dante123 | anyone have knowledge of dual booting Ubuntu with win 8 on lenovo ideapad y510p | 23:42 |
| wilee-nilee | !uefi | dante123 | 23:42 |
| ubottu | dante123: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 23:42 |
| wilee-nilee | dante123, Might be something here on that unit if not start a thread there maybe. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2147295 | 23:43 |
| wilee-nilee | I see two threads onthat page on that computer | 23:44 |
| dante123 | did read that, just wondering if anyone had experience doing it with lenovo.....like easier or harder than other manufacturers | 23:44 |
| dante123 | OK will check | 23:44 |
| hadifarnoud | I followed this guide http://pleasefeedthegeek.wordpress.com/2012/04/21/l2tp-ubuntu-server-setup-for-ios-clients/ for L2TP vpn. it connects but I cannot access any website. I think step 3 is wrong. can anyone help? | 23:45 |
| wilee-nilee | dante123, In general that dual boot works for some and not others, depends I think, on the knowledge and willingness to research by any single user | 23:47 |
| usr13 | hadifarnoud: Did you substitute your LAN's subnet for "192.168.1.0"? | 23:47 |
| hadifarnoud | usr13: is it the private IP I set in vpn settings? | 23:48 |
| adeonn | hello | 23:48 |
| Kardos | ahhhh the solution was, force feed it the old .deb from precise repo | 23:48 |
| * Kardos kicks dpkg for being so stupid | 23:48 | |
| Sk1Special | dual booting scares me everytime i setup it up with win8.. but only because i dont want windows to die, and not have a copy i can use to replace it. | 23:48 |
| usr13 | hadifarnoud: It's what ever subnet you use. What is the ip of your router? | 23:48 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: bought a system and got no windows disc is it? | 23:49 |
| hadifarnoud | usr13: 166.78.114.1 | 23:49 |
| hadifarnoud | that's my server gateway usr13 | 23:49 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, lol yeah for my laptop.. i did it on all my home pcs while i was in school because we got free copies.. but didnt get around to the laptop before i dropped so. | 23:49 |
| McDeffice | I have an problem for compiling kvirc with svn source : kvirc/src/modules/snd/libkvisnd.cpp:37:18: error fatale: QSound : No such file or directory <-- How install QSound ? <fudus> try build-dep kvirc beforehand? <- how build dep ? | 23:50 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: d'aww | 23:50 |
| Sk1Special | lol..uh. i just booted into linux, andthe screen froze, and my keyboards caps lock and scroll lock started flashing together every half second or so? | 23:51 |
| trism | McDeffice: sudo apt-get build-dep kvirc; is the command | 23:51 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: that's one of those kernel panics | 23:51 |
| zykotick9 | trism: while true for the ubuntu package, who knows what the upstream svn needs? | 23:52 |
| Sk1Special | ah.. bsod for ubuntu. mmk. yay. i guess ubuntu doesnt like it when i switch monitor cables while running. | 23:53 |
| hadifarnoud | usr13: my ip range for L2TP vpn is 192.168.1.231-192.168.1.239 when I connect to it, I get 192.168.1.233 considering that, is step 3 wrong? iptables does not redirect traffic to me. | 23:53 |
| usr13 | hadifarnoud: Well, only you know the your network and what subnets these settings should be in. | 23:53 |
| McDeffice | thank you trism, another problem: The "stable" distribution target unavailable for the package "kvirc" is ignored | 23:53 |
| trism | zykotick9: oh indeed, it could require more/less packages, or stuff newer than the repos, but he asked for the command at the end | 23:53 |
| hadifarnoud | usr13: I followed the guide and changed wherever he said I should use my IP. the only place I had to use my IPs was /etc/ipsec.d/l2tp-psk.conf file in step 2 | 23:54 |
| trism | McDeffice: what are you doing when you get that message? | 23:55 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, whatever happened killed my wireless thing.. didnt auto start this time? | 23:55 |
| usr13 | hadifarnoud: Ok, assuming the other settings are correct, if you used 192.168.1.0/24 that will mean that it is going to share it's connection with the 192.168.1.x network. (192.168.1.0/24 is the whole subnet from 192.168.1.1 to 192.168.1.254) | 23:56 |
| daftykins | Sk1Special: very odd. it's quite possible the driver tripped up and caused the kernel panic and perhaps its removed it from loading for safety | 23:56 |
| usr13 | hadifarnoud: Ok then, it should work. | 23:56 |
| hadifarnoud | usr13: that means I should be able to get internet then. but it doesn't :( | 23:57 |
| usr13 | hadifarnoud: Can you ping the gateway IP? | 23:57 |
| hadifarnoud | usr13: any way I can see what's happening? | 23:57 |
| Sk1Special | daftykins, maybe? when i switched my monitor cables from hdmi to vga a bunch of error messages sarted popping up, and it shut down, and when i cut it back on it booted straight to the desktop..so i restarted it and that happened..and it says it still sees the driver/hardware so..idk. restarting again now.. | 23:57 |
| hadifarnoud | wait | 23:57 |
| trism | McDeffice: kind of sounds like you don't have the source repos, and it also sounds like you're using debian, not ubuntu | 23:59 |
