| jrib | Shadowandlight: isn't the hard drive dynamic (i.e. I think it doesn't take up 50GB unless you are using 50GB) | 00:57 |
| McDeffice | trism -> in CMakeLists.txt file i have one line with : option(WANT_QT4 "Whether to prefer Qt4 over Qt5" OFF) <== replace OFF to ON ? | 00:57 |
| Shadowandlight | umm its showing total availible total 50gb / availible 35.1gb | 00:57 |

| zeronezerone | can anybody please point in in the right direction to finding information regarding what my desired network topology would be in my particular situation (wanting to cluster 3 local ubuntu linux servers, using one as the storage device/reverse proxy, likely) | 01:08 |
| trollwork | zeronezerone, what do you mean? | 01:09 |
| zeronezerone | well i am looking for maybe some further reading or a channel with people experienced in maybe clustering or networking ubuntu servers | 01:09 |
| trollwork | zeronezerone, that's still pretty vague I'm afraid | 01:09 |
| trollwork | essentially it's no more than a nicely worded "How to network in ubuntu" | 01:10 |
| trollwork | Is this a local network in your home? | 01:10 |
| zeronezerone | yes | 01:10 |
| trollwork | if so your topology should be "plug them into your switch" | 01:10 |
| zeronezerone | well i want wondering things such as desired software for my situation and if cross over wiring is at all neccesary | 01:10 |
| trollwork | once again depends on what you're doing precisely | 01:11 |
| zeronezerone | well if you are okay with me elaborating i will do so | 01:11 |
| zeronezerone | i have three machines | 01:11 |
| nevyn | cross over wiring should never be nessicary any more. | 01:11 |
| nevyn | EVER. | 01:11 |
| nevyn | trancerviers should be smart enough on even the cheapest network cards to just sort that out for you | 01:12 |
| trollwork | zeronezerone, you have 3 machines | 01:13 |
| trism | McDeffice: think I figured it out, in your shell: export QT_SELECT=qt4; then rerun cmake with -DWANT_QT4=ON | 01:13 |
| zeronezerone | i would like to use one to do all the storage. and because this is on a NAT i figured that i could have the other two machines load balance requests pulling information such as website data from the central machine | 01:13 |
| zeronezerone | iscsi vs nfs | 01:13 |
| zeronezerone | in this particular situation, would NFS suffice or is ISCSI just as suitable in this situation | 01:14 |
| trism | McDeffice: don't know if that will compile any better for you, but it at least seems to force qt4 over qt5 | 01:14 |

| Kerim | Hello guys, I got a sony vaio vpcse1e1e/s and I want to install on it but ACPI-features do not seem to work correctly on it (a.k.a. it gets really hot and fans don't kick in), which made it impossible to seriously work with Ubuntu on it. After many months of frustration, I want to ask you whether you guys got an idea perhaps... | 01:28 |
| t0ke | ubuntivity: Nope, just ubuntu and ubuntu 2d | 01:28 |
| ubuntivity | OK then, follow c^^c^^ notes :) | 01:28 |
| Kerim | Oh and btw, using acpi -t doesn't work, which is probably related to the overheating problem. | 01:28 |
| t0ke | Okay, thanks | 01:29 |
| whoever | karakedi: did you install laptop_toolz | 01:29 |
| trism | McDeffice: did you set QTDIR? that might be the problem, would try to unset that first | 01:29 |

| ubuntivity | Kerim: is your laptop's fan clean? I have a friend who had a VAIO who experienced various problems because of problems in the fan. And I'm supposing you live in a hot area.. | 01:30 |

| ubuntivity | Kerim: what is your processor? | 01:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Kerim, Did you install lm-sensors so you can see the actual temps? | 01:32 |
| Kerim | ubuntivity: It's a sony vaio vpcse1e1e/s with Sandy Bridge i5 | 01:32 |
| ubuntivity | Kerim: Maybe your processor is set to 'maximum performance' instead of 'on demand'. Try installing "CPU Frequency Scaling Indicator" so you can change that if needed. | 01:33 |
| Kerim | wilee-nilee: I'm not sure about lm-sensors but acpi -t can't display the temperatures, it just flashes the screen and goes "Killed." | 01:33 |
| trism | McDeffice: hmm, I'm not sure what that means, how far along is that in the build? I might not have hit it yet, I'm at about 63% | 01:33 |

| kriskropd | from before "wesam: you could open a terminal and run 'sudo do-release-upgrade', but you are never guranteed anything when it comes to files, so make sure you backup your most precious files first - thouhg in all likeliness, the stuff you are likely to lose in an upgrade include specific configuration files and applications you may be accustomed to" | 02:04 |

| holstein | osirisx11: use it if you want.. but support for them are found with the ppa maintainers | 02:45 |
| osirisx11 | the open source standard ubuntu monitors applet doesn't detect it, and i can't get the proprietary driver to install | 02:46 |
| osirisx11 | okay well holstein, the wiki page for ubuntu says hdmi should work out of the box for my device, zenbook prime | 02:46 |
| osirisx11 | and it wasn't, that's why i was seeking the proprietary solution | 02:47 |

| osirisx11 | i have a beautiful 27in IPS/PLS screen here begging to see action | 02:47 |

| syntroPi | affine, how about "kill -KILL Xorg" LOL carefull | 03:10 |
| wilee-nilee | jexmex, You can from the terminal run sudo apt-get update ; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade and before saying y for yes check if all the updates are included if not hit n | 03:10 |
| _andyj_ | affine, I think you need to look up changing to run level 3, don't just kill X | 03:10 |
| c^^c^^ | does 7z with archive manager encrypt with AES-256?? | 03:10 |
| affine | syntroPi, why is killing x so dangerous? | 03:11 |
| syntroPi | because it will leave caos | 03:11 |
| affine | I won't just exit into a shell? | 03:11 |
| syntroPi | on your X session | 03:11 |
| affine | the idea is to be able to type 'startx' to start it back up | 03:11 |
| affine | and the world continues spinning | 03:11 |
| syntroPi | killing is just terminating program not letting it time to finish properly | 03:12 |
| syntroPi | so its not a good way to shut it down | 03:12 |
| affine | How can I let it shut down gracefully then? | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | !reisub | 03:12 |
| ubottu | In an emergency, you may be able to shutdown cleanly and reboot by holding down Alt+PrintScreen and typing, in succession, R, E, I, S, U and B. For an explanation, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magic_SysRq_key | 03:12 |

| syntroPi | affine when i do such things i always change to tty1 [ctrl][alt][F1] login and then do that "sudo service lightdm" restart from there | 03:13 |
| affine | syntroPi, haven't tried that yet. I'll give that a whirl. | 03:13 |
| affine | Thanks. | 03:13 |
| derrik | is there any similar indicator of faulty driver in linux like the !-symbol in Windows device manager? | 03:13 |
| syntroPi | which is bit really properly either, but havent caused any problems so far | 03:13 |
| wilee-nilee | jexmex, Cool, security updates need a dist-upgrade run at times, I alwyas use the terminal and just run that command every time | 03:14 |
| jexmex | wilee-nilee, thanks | 03:14 |

| garthk | Miserable. 'apt-get install openjdk-6-jre-headless' hangs indefinitely from a completely fresh precise install. All search results point to a problem with EC2 micro instances… which I'm not using. This is an amd64 instance running under VMware. Any ideas? | 03:40 |
| garthk | It slams to a halt here: | 03:41 |

| garthk | 0% [1 openjdk-6-jre-headless 4,126 B/25.4 MB 0%]^C | 03:41 |
| syntroPi | garthk, maybe try another repo mirror? | 03:43 |
| syntroPi | garthk, you even can down it manually http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/main/o/openjdk-6/openjdk-6-jre-headless_6b27-1.12.6-1ubuntu0.12.04.2_amd64.deb | 03:46 |
| lgc | Hi, I installed 12.04 on a Gateway laptop and more often than not, while watching videos on VLC, it overheats and turns off. What gives? | 03:47 |
| syntroPi | lgc mabye try vaapi drivers so it decodes on gpu also you might clean fan openings with a vacuum cleaner from dust? | 03:48 |
| CarlThansk | I have Apache and vsftpd running on ubuntu 13.04 server. something on ubuntu is blocking HTTP / FTP traffic seemingly randomly (my friend in Australia can't connect sometimes, but usually can, and I can connect while he can't) | 03:49 |
| garthk | syntroPi: ok, that'd be the problem, then. curl-ing that gives me the same "time left: 44h" problem. | 03:49 |
| CarlThansk | wut blocking? | 03:49 |
| lgc | syntroPi: Thanks. How can I install them? Regular apt-get? | 03:49 |
| garthk | … and, ditto vs ftp.utexas.edu… I smell an intercepting proxy. | 03:50 |
| syntroPi | lgc depends on your gpu and if its capable of that: eg on nvidia the backend is called vdpau, with the other im not too familiar | 03:50 |
| universal | I purged rar and unrar packages and then reinstall them by dpkg and apt-get both but now when right clicking on any file or folder and compressing it, cbr and rar formats are not showing up in formats tab of compress window....how to fix this ? | 03:50 |
| lgc | syntroPi: How can I check that? | 03:51 |
| syntroPi | lgc "lspci | grep VGA" | 03:52 |
| CarlThansk | any known issues of seemingly blocking connections from specific IPs while running apache? | 03:55 |

| Vog | many devices 25? | 04:09 |
| Asad3ainJalout | histo: lol that was fast, i take it your on linux as well | 04:09 |
| Vog | or one 25 times? | 04:09 |
| babinlonston | jpds: but the server have only iptables enabled | 04:09 |
| Asad3ainJalout | histo:thank you | 04:09 |
| jpds | Vog: Failing to reply/traceroute can't find aanything. | 04:09 |
| histo | Asad3ainJalout: unfortunately | 04:09 |
| jpds | babinlonston: And? ufw is a frontend to iptables. | 04:09 |
| babinlonston | ok then what i need to do first | 04:10 |
| jpds | babinlonston: Might be easier if all you want to do is allow some ports. | 04:10 |
| Shadowandlight | any ideas on why i need to keep running chown -R www-data:www-data <directory> on 2 directories that i am serving websites too everytime i reboot? | 04:10 |
| jpds | !ufw | babinlonston | 04:10 |
| ubottu | babinlonston: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo | 04:10 |
| Vog | jp what program wll be normal work? | 04:10 |
| babinlonston | jpds: ok but i cant use in gui only cli | 04:11 |
| jpds | Vog: Well, nothing; if the devices aren't replying to you. | 04:11 |
| Vog | bab what with my command iptables? | 04:11 |
| jpds | Vog: You can configure a device to do that. | 04:11 |
| CarlThansk | I assume that the complete lack of replies to my question is a "no"? | 04:11 |
| jpds | babinlonston: That's fine, ufw is a cli program. | 04:11 |

| Vog | how? | 04:11 |
| Vog | and... | 04:11 |
| Vog | I not see google site in the end of list | 04:12 |

| wilee-nilee | Guest50873, what app are you using to get the irc? | 04:13 |

| Guest50873 | wilee-nilee: I'm using XChat | 04:14 |
| derrik | which one is better ufw or iptables_ | 04:14 |
| jpds | derrik: Neither, ufw uses iptables as a backend. | 04:14 |
| babinlonston | jpds: sudo ufw enable command not found | 04:14 |
| derrik | right | 04:14 |
| jpds | babinlonston: What? Then the allows shouldn't even work. | 04:15 |

| Sk1Special | chinese writing is awesome.. all the other languages are lame and use letters. | 04:41 |
| Programmer_ | johnflux, i get nothing | 04:41 |
| johnflux | Programmer_: you should at minimum get "Trying ip.ip.ip.ip...." | 04:42 |
| sasd | like you are running live ubuntu 11 and upgrade the live ubuntu 12 for temp | 04:42 |
| wilee-nilee | sasd, You can't upgrade to another release form a live media, and only some in distro updates if you have persistence | 04:42 |

| Programmer_ | i get a reply | 04:43 |
| Programmer_ | yes | 04:43 |
| johnflux | Programmer_: okay great. could you do: sudo ufw status on localhost please | 04:43 |
| sasd | why it's not possible to just update the iso ....................... it's just too time consuming to download the whole iso again for each new release .................. | 04:44 |
| Programmer_ | Status: inactive | 04:44 |
| sasd | dont you guys think so..... | 04:44 |
| wilee-nilee | sasd, The iso is read only on a disc or usb. | 04:44 |

| johnflux | Programmer_: okay, what program is this again? | 04:45 |
| johnflux | Programmer_: is it apache? | 04:45 |
| pinPoint | why is it so hard to jail a user to their home directory in ssh/sftp22)? | 04:45 |
| Programmer_ | metasploit | 04:45 |
| pinPoint | they always go up in their folder | 04:45 |
| pinPoint | or they are not jailed | 04:45 |
| histo | Programmer_: can you telnet to the port from the other machine? | 04:48 |
| Programmer_ | no, i cant, #hak5 plz | 04:48 |
| johnflux | Programmer_: https://community.rapid7.com/thread/1459 | 04:49 |
| johnflux | Programmer_: you have to setup metasploit first | 04:49 |
| johnflux | Programmer_: before you can access remotely | 04:49 |
| johnflux | Programmer_: "Once the user account has been configured, you can access the instance remotely through port 3790." | 04:49 |
| sasd | wilee-nilee , zsync can upgrade an iso file | 04:52 |
| wilee-nilee | sasd, Yes, but not from distro to distro that I have seen. | 04:52 |
| xmetal | :| | 04:53 |
| Jordan_U | sasd: The combination of modifying the iso and using persistance would be unreliable at best. | 04:53 |

| wilee-nilee | sk_sandeep, No problem, ou can ask in #freenode for a cloak after awhile or donate and get one now. | 04:54 |

| holstein | danny4way: some printers broadcast a wifi access point you might be able to connect to.. i would share more details about the printer and what you are wanting to do | 05:08 |
| martin1989 | hello people | 05:09 |
| danny4way | My printer doesn't automatically broadcast a wifi access point | 05:09 |
| martin1989 | are you there? | 05:09 |
| danny4way | I need to install something on my computer first in order to run it wireless. | 05:09 |
| MoPac | danny4way: what kind of printer is it? | 05:09 |
| martin1989 | i have a question about xubuntu | 05:09 |
| holstein | danny4way: i didnt say "automatically".. i said *some* do.. if yours doesnt, then that is not appropriate.. | 05:09 |
| danny4way | HP officejet | 05:09 |
| MoPac | danny4way: Do you have HP-LIP installed? | 05:10 |
| holstein | danny4way: is it connected to the router? | 05:10 |
| martin1989 | i would like to start xubuntu always in text mode | 05:10 |
| danny4way | No. It isn't connected to the router | 05:10 |
| universal | wilee-nilee: why this statement - I never see anyone messing with rar in ubuntu ?? | 05:10 |
| martin1989 | how can i do that? | 05:10 |
| danny4way | And no I don't have Hp-LIP installed MoPac | 05:10 |
| holstein | !text | 05:10 |
| ubottu | To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode | 05:10 |
| holstein | martin1989: ^ | 05:10 |
| MoPac | danny4way: That's what I would do - install HP-LIP | 05:10 |
| universal | wilee-nilee: whats your point ? | 05:10 |
| danny4way | And what happen after installing HP-LIP | 05:11 |
| wilee-nilee | universal, It is as it is stated, I never see anyone using rar, is that okay? | 05:11 |
| holstein | danny4way: is the printer connected to the wireless network? | 05:11 |
| MoPac | danny4way: HP-LIP has a device manager to set up HP printers | 05:11 |
| danny4way | I am not setting up my hP printer on my laptop | 05:11 |
| holstein | danny4way: how are you seting it up? | 05:12 |
| universal | wilee-nilee: ohh, thats weird...I thought rar is most preferable for general users ! | 05:12 |
| holstein | danny4way: vie the wifi network? is the printer connected to the wifi network? and is the ubuntu machine? can you ping the printer? | 05:12 |
| danny4way | Wait. The only thing I know is that I need to set up on computer with router | 05:12 |
| danny4way | which I still haven't | 05:12 |
| holstein | danny4way: correct.. *is* the pritner connected to the wireless router? yes or no? | 05:13 |
| danny4way | No | 05:13 |
| holstein | danny4way: is the computer connected to the *same* wireless router? yes or no? | 05:13 |
| martin1989 | thanx | 05:13 |
| danny4way | But the printer is manually by USB connected to my computer | 05:13 |
| holstein | danny4way: so, you can print via USB? | 05:14 |
| danny4way | Yes but not wirelessly | 05:14 |
| danny4way | Okay. Let me make this clear | 05:14 |
| holstein | danny4way: is the computer connected to the *same* wireless router? yes or no? | 05:14 |
| danny4way | I have one desktop and one laptop | 05:14 |
| danny4way | My desktop is windows | 05:14 |
| danny4way | I have ubuntu on my laptop | 05:14 |
| danny4way | My desktop is connected to printer with USB manually | 05:15 |
| holstein | danny4way: is the ubuntu machine connected to the same wireless router wirelessly via wifi conneciton that the printer is connected to? | 05:15 |
| danny4way | But my real question is Do I need to set up on desktop? And how? | 05:15 |
| danny4way | Yes. | 05:15 |
| holstein | danny4way: the desktop is running windows.. | 05:16 |
| danny4way | Same wireless router. | 05:16 |
| === julian_lunch is now known as julianwa | ||
| danny4way | Yes. The desktop is running windows. | 05:16 |
| holstein | danny4way: so, if the desktop is not printing to the HP printer, you would ask HP or seek windows support | 05:16 |
| danny4way | But I still don't have any idea how to set up wireless for my printer. | 05:16 |
| holstein | danny4way: you would ask HP about that | 05:16 |
| danny4way | desktop is printing is so well | 05:16 |
| danny4way | Just that my laptop, I don't know how to connect | 05:17 |
| danny4way | Where do I click so I can connect with that printer? | 05:17 |
| holstein | danny4way: there is a printer wizard in ubuntu... you can use it to try and discover the printer.. assuming they are both connected on the same network | 05:18 |
| holstein | i like to confirm that by pinging the printer.. | 05:18 |
| holstein | danny4way: you click "add a pritner" | 05:18 |
| MoPac | danny4way: For ubuntu, install HP-LIP. But it doesn't sound like you're having an ubuntu problem -- it sounds more like a problem of finding wireless setup instructions in your HP manual | 05:18 |
| holstein | printer* | 05:18 |
| danny4way | MoPac, yeah. that too | 05:18 |
| universal_ | wilee-nilee: I got disconnected...so what do you use if rar is not preferable ? | 05:19 |
| holstein | danny4way: the windows machine is printing wirelessly, correct? | 05:19 |
| danny4way | No | 05:19 |
| danny4way | Manually with USB | 05:19 |
| MoPac | danny4way: Have you tried doing a wireless setup by using the settings tools for your printer in the windows HP printer control software? | 05:19 |
| holstein | danny4way: then, start there.. since you have well documented instructions and support.. actual documented windows support | 05:20 |
| danny4way | Okay. I will go and check it out. | 05:20 |
| danny4way | I think I get what you guys are talking about now. | 05:20 |
| holstein | danny4way: what do i do? i connect *everything* to the same network.. i get IP addresses, and i see that i can ping everything.. then, i use the GUI wizard tools to try first | 05:20 |
| chiques | ok, distro upgrade via ssh , not a good idea | 05:20 |

| Ultimate4 | Hello there. I am not able to get frontend ubuntu graphical interface working after many tries. Is there something i can do? | 06:10 |
| bruce_ | holstein - it's an AMD radeon HD 6000M series - it's a hybrid graphics card for a 2011 Macbook Pro... | 06:10 |
| hanuman | how can i do kvm virtualization | 06:10 |
| bruce_ | holstein - i mean 6600 series:) | 06:10 |
| Ultimate4 | I can't open file manager. Desktop is also not working. But terminal and all applications are working fine. | 06:10 |
| holstein | bruce_: i would say, you should try installing a proprietary driver for the ATI device | 06:11 |
| Ultimate4 | I can open browsers from terminal. | 06:11 |
| holstein | !ati | this is what i reference | 06:11 |
| ubottu | this is what i reference: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 06:11 |
| Ultimate4 | Is there a command to reset everything related to ubuntu graphical interface including deleting old configurations? | 06:12 |
| bruce_ | holstein - yes, good suggestion - do I look for it at the AMD site? This is new to me - what kind of file do i look for, or can i do it another way? | 06:12 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: i would try as another user. if all is well, then the issue is likely in your user's /home | 06:12 |
| holstein | bruce_: i reference the link i gave, which will say what package to use.. i usually start with the default one in the repos | 06:12 |
| bruce_ | holstein: not quite sure what you mean - which link are you talking about? | 06:13 |
| Ultimate4 | holstein: I did it. But same problem persists. Other than that, everything works fine including system sound. I can even play videos using vlc and on youtube. | 06:14 |
| holstein | !ati | bruce_ | 06:14 |
| ubottu | bruce_: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 06:14 |
| Ultimate4 | So it doesn't seem to be drivers issue. Maybe some corrupted desktop configuration. | 06:14 |

| Ultimate4 | holstein: Last time i installed audacity, pavumeter and pavucontrol packages and rebooted my computer. This problem started after that. | 06:17 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: after also taking upgrades? | 06:17 |
| Ultimate4 | Yes | 06:17 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: so, you installed *many* other packages | 06:17 |
| phizes_ | Hi, I am using https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/mysql to get MySQL 5.5 for Precise, the problem is that 5.6 is also provided, I have managed to pin most of the packages at 5.5 (notably the ones with 5.5 in the package name) I can't work out how to pin libmysqlclient18 to 5.5 as well, here is my current apt preferences.d config http://paste.ubuntu.com/5957784/ Could any one point me in the right direction? | 06:17 |
| somsip | !pinning | 06:18 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 06:18 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: what would i do? run "sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade".. reboot and test.. then, if its still there, i would start by trying to boot an older kernel | 06:18 |
| Ultimate4 | holstein: No. The problem just after installing these three packages. I upgraded ubuntu thinking that the problem may get automatically resolved, but it didn't. | 06:19 |
| phizes_ | somsip: Yes, I have followed that, but unfortunately I can't figure out how to pin to a different version, in the same repo, when the package name is the same. | 06:19 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: then, skip to the step about booting an older kernel, friend | 06:19 |
| phizes_ | And for the same Ubuntu release | 06:19 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: if you thing those packages caused the issue, remove them (i dont think they did) | 06:20 |
| Ultimate4 | holstein: I removed them, but it also didn't helped. Is there a command to just reset every graphical frontend interface configuration? | 06:21 |
| === phizes_ is now known as phizes | ||
| Ultimate4 | Otherwise my last resort would to install a fresh new OS on my /dev/sda7 drive. | 06:21 |
| Ultimate4 | Which currently holds this ubuntu OS | 06:22 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: so the older kernel didnt help? | 06:22 |
| Ultimate4 | yes, it didn't | 06:22 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: do you have any PPA's added? | 06:23 |
| Ultimate4 | no | 06:23 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: then, i would try looking at some logs, or elaborating, or go for the fresh install | 06:25 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: the issue with that is, you wont konw what you did to cause it | 06:25 |
| Ultimate4 | I am also thinking of a fresh install. | 06:25 |
| Ultimate4 | But i have a problem. | 06:25 |
| Ultimate4 | My CD Drive is broken. | 06:25 |
| Ultimate4 | And my pc don't support usb boot | 06:26 |
| holstein | Ultimate4: you can take the hard drive to another machine | 06:26 |
| phizes | Ultimate4: PXE install? If it supports network boot? | 06:26 |
| Ultimate4 | By the way, i have windows 7 and windows xp installed alongwith ubuntu, and i can switch them in grub. | 06:26 |
| qin | Wonder what machine running ms7 do not boot vie usb... | 06:28 |
| holstein | qin: broken hardware | 06:28 |
| holstein | qin: should boot USB though, right? | 06:29 |
| Ultimate4 | heh | 06:29 |
| holstein | i have had luck on "broken" cd roms getting plop boot CD to boot there | 06:29 |
| qin | this would point to simple radical solution like new parts... | 06:29 |
| Ultimate4 | Is there a way to setup windows 7 so that when next time i restart my PC, ubuntu ISO get booted from a particular location? | 06:29 |

| histo | Shadow}}: "find .Skype -name '*.db' -delete" that will find all db files in the .Skype directory and delete them. | 08:12 |

| histo | Shadow}}: no -name is used to specify the *.db files | 08:13 |
| Shadow}} | histo; Oh! Gotcha, Thanks. | 08:13 |
| histo | Shadow}}: I don't know how else to explain it. find files in .Skype that contain in their name .db and -delete them basically | 08:14 |

| histo | Shadow}}: the lines on the site were silly my way is more efficient | 08:15 |

| trijntje | quackgyver, if it is reproducable, please file a bug. Also, you can set the unity launcher to autohide if you want to use the full screen | 09:29 |

| trijntje | quackgyver, I think that option was removed from the settings, I cant find it now | 09:32 |
| ActionParsnip | quackgyver: it is the native terminal in functionality, you can show and hide it with a shortcut key (F12 by default) | 09:32 |
| quackgyver | trijntje That's a shasme. | 09:33 |
| quackgyver | ActionParsnip: I'm using a keyboard where F keys are alt, so that'd be really annoying for me. I think the most logical approach is to show the application bar when applications aren't maximized, and hide it if the user tries to maximize | 09:34 |
| quackgyver | in which case autohide would be an okay solution | 09:34 |
| quackgyver | So this is what I'd like to have, if possilbe | 09:34 |

| blz | MuZe, download an ubuntu .iso image and burn it to a cd (or stick it on a usb key. The ubuntu website has details). Then, boot from that medium and the graphical installer will walk you through it. A drunk 3-year-old could do it. | 09:56 |

| DenBeiren | nice_haze: always install windows first,.. bunt after | 09:56 |
| blz | nice_haze, yes, that's because windows has overwritten the bootloader. You just have to boot from a livecd and reinstall grub | 09:56 |

| garthk | ActionPa1snip: everyone cites your answers on this kind of error… but flushing out /var/lib/apt/lists et al isn't helping in my case. Any ideas? W: GPG error: http://apt.basho.com precise Release: The following signatures were invalid: BADSIG F933E597DDF2E833 Basho Technologies (Debian / Ubuntu signing key) <packager@basho.com> | 11:19 |
| john87 | can some one explain the reason for "sudo" | 11:20 |
| k1l | !sudo | john87 | 11:20 |
| ubottu | john87: 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 | 11:20 |
| === Mi-- is now known as Mi` | ||
| garthk | john87: it forces admins to spend most of their time as normal users, and escalate to root only as necessary. When they do so, their actions are logged. It's also possible to restrict certain users to certain superuser actions. | 11:20 |
| k1l | john87: you dont need to be root all the time. think of it running with a unlocked gun. most beginners will break stuff with it. so be a user and get root-rights wenn needed | 11:21 |

| ActionPa1snip | garthk: sudo apt-key adv --recv-key --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com F933E597DDF2E833 | 11:21 |
| john87 | k1l: but is it the same as "su root" ? | 11:22 |
| k1l | john87: not the same, but it has the same effect: you can give commands the root rights | 11:22 |
| garthk | ActionPa1snip: this is a fresh precise clone, using the same entry in sources.list.d… yep. Checked the key. Thrown it out and fetched it again, both directly from Basho and from the key server. Still getting BADSIG on apt-get update. | 11:22 |
| john87 | k1l: oh okay thanks | 11:23 |
| ActionPa1snip | garthk: http://docs.basho.com/riak/latest/ops/building/installing/debian-ubuntu/ also shows how to import the key...on their own page....imagine | 11:23 |
| garthk | ActionPa1snip: yep. And, I've done that. And, I'm still getting BADSIG. | 11:23 |

| john87 | one more question, what dose it mean when "packages cannot be authenticated"? | 11:25 |
| ActionPa1snip | john87: you added a PPA and not the GPG key for it | 11:25 |
| john87 | is that hard to add? | 11:25 |

| garthk | ActionPa1snip: found; running… | 11:27 |
| ActionPa1snip | garthk: sweet | 11:28 |
| ActionPa1snip | garthk: its the commands from the synaptic fix broken packages commands, in a script cos I'm lazy | 11:28 |
| garthk | ActionPa1snip: … and, nope. Still getting BADSIG. To what degree is that possible because of what I'm getting back from http://apt.basho.com rather than some kind of local filesystem cruft? | 11:28 |
| ActionPa1snip | garthk: plus dropbox makes it easy to distribute | 11:29 |
| ActionPa1snip | garthk: wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/8850924/fixpackage; chmod +x ./fixpackage; sudo ./fixpackage | 11:29 |

| zimbo | of that window, the one saying it is estimating the size | 11:55 |
| zimbo | ? | 11:56 |
| quackgyver | coachie96: give me a sec to do some research | 11:56 |
| coachie96 | sure | 11:56 |
| quackgyver | coachie96: Do you have the package? | 11:56 |
| quackgyver | Did you buy it just now? | 11:56 |
| zimbo | "All files need to be analysed to complete this operation." there's no indication thought that it's doing anything. is that how it is? | 11:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | ddssc: try something like clamav or similar. You only need AV if you run a file server with Windows clients (to save them from each other) or a mailserver etc etc. | 11:56 |
| coachie96 | what do you mean by "the package" | 11:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | zimbo: there should be a button to skip estimating | 11:57 |
| coachie96 | the laptop is over three years old, ran on Windows XP until today, just made the switch to ubuntu, so no, i dont have the original packaging | 11:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | zimbo: I recommend you try xfburn, ive personally never had a success with brassero | 11:57 |

| limebuster | or what | 12:39 |
| limebuster | im a complete noob guys | 12:39 |
| DJones | limebuster: What are you trying to install | 12:40 |
| limebuster | vlc lets say | 12:40 |
| anders__ | limebuster: replace <application> with the name of the app. | 12:40 |
| limebuster | aha | 12:40 |
| limebuster | and the app can be anyplace? i.e desktop? | 12:40 |
| usr13 | limebuster: apt-cache search <something-else> | 12:40 |
| k1l | limebuster: vlc is in the repos | 12:40 |
| anders__ | limebuster: Example: sudo apt-get install firefox | 12:40 |
| limebuster | just put its name | 12:40 |
| k1l | !info vlc | 12:40 |

| ActionPa1snip | limebuster: so it makes no sense | 12:41 |
| ActionPa1snip | codeoasis: like, for LAN? | 12:42 |
| usr13 | limebuster: In other words, you have the option to use apt-get or the GUI Software Centre (just can't do both at the same time). | 12:43 |
| === rew1red|away is now known as rew1red | ||
| ActionPa1snip | limebuster: you'd have to drag it to terminal, then close software cente, why bother when you are so close with the GUI app? | 12:43 |

| limebuster | I remmber trying to install a firefox addon and that was a struggle | 12:47 |
| k1l | limebuster: first way should be to use the packages system. not to download anything anywhere | 12:48 |
| limebuster | i come from macs which are pretty easy | 12:48 |
| anders__ | limebuster: You can add the applications repository to your system, and itsall it like any other app. | 12:48 |
| usr13 | limebuster: You mean, you want to learn to use the command line interface to install apps, (rather than the GUI). Right? | 12:48 |
| k1l | limebuster: firefox addons work the same like on windows or mac | 12:48 |
| ZIPY | limebuster: firefox addons be installed the same way | 12:48 |

| Goatman | You can also use it to install downloaded packages | 12:50 |
| limebuster | dude ur talking to a noooobb | 12:50 |
| auronandace | !repo | limebuster | 12:50 |
| ubottu | limebuster: The packages in Ubuntu are divided into several sections. More information at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Repositories - See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/RecommendedSources for the recommended way to set up your repositories. | 12:50 |
| limebuster | ok ill check this link | 12:50 |
| ZIPY | limebuster: what application are you looking for | 12:50 |
| Goatman | A repository is a special site dedicated to packages | 12:50 |
| Goatman | packages contain the program | 12:51 |
| MonkeyDust | limebuster in short: restrict yourself to the software center or to apt-get, if you want to safely install programs | 12:51 |
| usr13 | ZIPY: He's not, just asking hypothetical question(s). | 12:51 |
| limebuster | yes usr13 | 12:51 |
| limebuster | ok ill do some readings on the links posted | 12:51 |
| Goatman | If you want to download a specific app, almost always instructions are included on how to do so | 12:51 |
| limebuster | thanks guys ur so helpfull | 12:51 |
| limebuster | after the PRISM stuff im really thinking of install linux | 12:52 |
| anders__ | limebuster: Here's my 2¢... Install Ubuntu, then cross this bridge when you get to that point. | 12:52 |
| Goatman | usually people use the command line because it’s faster | 12:52 |
| ZIPY | if u know the package name :) | 12:53 |
| Goatman | To install VLC movie player, you type sudo apt-get install vlc | 12:53 |
| usr13 | limebuster: It is best to use the Software Centre at first, it is easiest and shows discriptions for the app before you install it and is a feature rich application. | 12:53 |
| limebuster | specifically ubuntu its stunning | 12:53 |
| limebuster | kk | 12:53 |
| limebuster | ty | 12:53 |
| Goatman | yes certainly | 12:53 |
| anders__ | np. | 12:54 |
| usr13 | limebuster: Good luck and have lots of fun. | 12:54 |

| _kas | usr13, no apology necessary. Your help is appreciated. | 13:29 |
| auronandace | jacks_cool: then you need to install the drivers again (and every time the kernel gets updated afterwards) | 13:29 |

| adamk | jacks: You've created quite a mess of your system... | 13:53 |
| mikeas | Goatman: what should i do? | 13:53 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kerim: so its a hybrid GPU? Intel + Ati? | 13:53 |
| Goatman | mikeas: That’s not the full path | 13:53 |
| mikeas | Goatman: yes. | 13:53 |
| mikeas | Goatman: iknow | 13:53 |
| jacks | adamk: Any solution to revert back? I have got some important data in this. | 13:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacks: your backups will ensue data integrity | 13:54 |
| mikeas | Goatman: i should have said cat /dev/input/... | 13:54 |
| Goatman | mikeas: But if there is no output, you have driver issues | 13:54 |
| jacks | ActionPa1snip: Is format only way to get out of this? | 13:54 |
| Kerim | ActionPa1snip: Depends on what exactly you mean by hybrid, if you mean something like what laptops have that you can switch then no. But the CPU is a i5-3570K (or something along the lines) that does come wih an iGPU | 13:54 |

| adamk | jacks: The installation program should have put an uninstall program somewhere on your computer. | 13:55 |
| mikeas | Goatman: and if it does give me output, it would be xorg. how can i completely reinstall xorg, not just the manifest so to speak | 13:55 |
| mikeas | yea | 13:55 |
| adamk | jacks: It *used* to be in /usr/share/ati/ but they might have moved it. | 13:55 |
| jacks | adamk: What shall be done now? Any restore point or something like removing few last updats? | 13:56 |
| Goatman | mikeas: Did you use the apt-get purge command? | 13:56 |
| Kerim | usr13, ActionPa1snip : pastebin.com/eBurKyJE | 13:56 |
| adamk | jacks: You should try to find the uninstall program. Barring that, you can try to manually remove the files the install program created and, if necessary, reinstall the packages those files overwrote./ | 13:56 |
| mikeas | Goatman: no what does that, tried apt-get install -f, dpkg-reconfigure -a, autoremove,clean. but not purge | 13:57 |
| mikeas | Goatman: all with sudo ofc | 13:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kerim: there is no intel, so your CPU cannot draw anything | 13:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | Kerim: what is teh output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a Thanks | 13:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | jacks: no idea what the issue is | 13:57 |
| Goatman | mikeas: That should remove the configuration files. | 13:58 |

| raub | Interesting thing happened to this laptop. I installed 12.04 off the alternate image since I wanted control of the lvm and encryption. | 14:07 |
| raub | The main reason for this post is now pushed because I let it sleep while driving here and when i opened the laptop, the lights and cpu fan came on but nothing on the screen | 14:08 |
| raub | So i did crtl-alt-f1 and got the terminal screen | 14:08 |
| raub | but cannot type on it | 14:08 |
| raub | nor switch back tot he graphics one | 14:08 |

| Goatman | ? | 14:11 |
| * wilee-nilee wonders what a "windows maneuver and too windows" is. | 14:11 | |
| mikael_ | airportyh: i think you need to open gnome-network-manager with sudo. the network manager could be called diffrent though | 14:11 |
| usr13 | _ruben: What size swap partition are you using? | 14:11 |
| mikael_ | airportyh: cant remember | 14:11 |
| usr13 | raub: What size swap partition are you using? | 14:11 |
| airportyh | mikael_: thanks, I´ll try | 14:12 |
| usr13 | (Sorry ruben, wrong nick.) | 14:12 |
| mikael_ | Goatman: by-path, event0,event1,event2,mice | 14:12 |
| raub | raub: no swap. We usually never use swap at work | 14:12 |
| usr13 | raub: I see. Well, that is more than likely the problme. | 14:12 |
| usr13 | *problem* | 14:12 |
| usr13 | raub: Why do you not use swap? | 14:12 |
| raub | I have 4GB of ram | 14:13 |
| Goatman | mikeal: There should be a listing in /dev/input/by-path/ for your usb mouse | 14:13 |
| mikael_ | Goatman: ill check | 14:13 |
| Goatman | mikeal: if there isn’t then that’s a big problem | 14:13 |
| Kerim | raub: depending on the kinds of applications you run, that might not be enough. Firefox with a few tabs open already occupies a good part of your RAM | 14:13 |
| usr13 | raub: I suggest use 4G swap partition. (Probably won't have that problem any more.) | 14:13 |
| Kerim | raub: Unless you're using an SSD I don't see why you wouldn't use Swap | 14:14 |

| mikael_ | Goatman: yer its freaky man, the lights are on. but nobody is home :'( | 14:15 |
| usr13 | raub: And you think not having a swap partition will make your SSD last longer? | 14:15 |
| raub | My LVM usage right now is small; I am using 1/3 of the disk | 14:15 |
| raub | SSDs seem to like ot stay under 80% of capacity | 14:15 |
| usr13 | raub: Really? | 14:15 |
| Goatman | mikeal_: So what you are saying is that there is no listing for your mouse in the /dev/input folder? | 14:15 |
| raub | So I can probably throw a swap partition if I want | 14:15 |
| raub | I am not against it | 14:16 |

| nbubuntu | hi anyone know whether freshly install 12.04 will erase the grub from my old 10.04 ? | 14:16 |

| ikonia | nbubuntu: it will update it | 14:16 |
| usr13 | raub: Because of PCI? | 14:16 |
| trijntje | raub, you can also look at zram-config, it lets you use more RAM in exchange for some processing power | 14:16 |
| Kerim | usr13: Update done. What next. Should I try the fglrx drivers? | 14:16 |
| raub | usr13: PCI compliance; we deal with credit cards | 14:16 |

| altin | I wrote a script to notify me when capslock is ON or OFF | 14:17 |

| altin | I went to custom shortcuts | 14:17 |
| nbubuntu | ikonia : 10.04 using non gui grub .I wanted to retain back normal non-gui 12.04 | 14:17 |
| altin | and selected CAPSLOCK to run the script | 14:17 |
| ikonia | nbubuntu: non-gui grub ? | 14:17 |
| ikonia | nbubuntu: grub does not have a gui, it's a boot loader | 14:17 |
| altin | but when I hit capslock it doesn't run the script | 14:17 |
| altin | anyon knows why > | 14:18 |
| altin | ? | 14:18 |
| shader | how does one view details about a service that can be run with 'service <name> start'? I want to know what script it's using for a particular service | 14:18 |
| raub | altin: I thought that you can configure grub not to do gui | 14:18 |
| nbubuntu | ikonia : yeh bootloader | 14:18 |
| ikonia | nbubuntu: what is your question ? | 14:18 |
| ikonia | nbubuntu: the grub version from 10.04 will be updated to the grub version from 12.04 | 14:18 |
| raub | shader: I think those scripts are just in /etc/init. | 14:18 |
| ikonia | nbubuntu: what is the issue ? | 14:18 |
| nbubuntu | ikonia : can I retain back the grub ? i dont like the bootloader | 14:18 |
| shader | raub: ok | 14:19 |
| ikonia | shader: they are not scripts in /etc/init.d - ubuntu uses upstart, not sysvinit | 14:19 |
| raub | As opposite to init.d | 14:19 |
| ikonia | nbubuntu: don't like the bootloader ?? it's a boot loader, you should see no difference | 14:19 |
| ikonia | !upstart |shader | 14:19 |
| ubottu | shader: Upstart is meant to replace the old Sys V Init system with an event-driven init model. For more information please see: http://upstart.ubuntu.com/ | 14:19 |
| shader | thanks | 14:19 |
| altin | raub: wasn't asking for grub !? | 14:19 |
| raub | ikonia: I thought they were moving away from upstart. | 14:19 |

| ikonia | nbubuntu: 10.10 is EOL and dead | 14:20 |
| nbubuntu | ikonia : some of the item not backup | 14:21 |
| ikonia | nbubuntu: I'm sorry, I don't understand what you are trying to say | 14:21 |
| usr13 | raub: It is my opinion that even if you have SSD drive, you should also have a swap partition at least as large as your RAM. If you have enough RAM, the swap partition will rarely be used, but when needed it is there. (Just my 2c.) | 14:22 |
| daftykins | or put the swap on mechanical because you don't care about the capacity there | 14:24 |
| raub | usr13: I see your point. I just created the lv and did mkswap on it. Now I am going to add it to the fstab so I can swapon it | 14:24 |
| usr13 | Kerim: Does it say that a Reboot is needed? | 14:24 |

| adamk | Kerim: First, getting fglrx working on a laptop with hybrid graphics is hit-or-miss. Some GPUs seem to be supported, some aren't. However, you don't even appear to have the fglrx driver installed at the moment. | 14:43 |

| raub | klikini: Mine does not seem to have. I can check again | 14:44 |
| foo357 | so the archiving would have to incrementally remove files in the directory (to free up disk space) while the archive is being created | 14:44 |

| ikonia | nbubuntu: dual booting an unsupported distro when you openly admit you are new to linux is unwise going forward, it's is better to backup what you need, upgrade/replace 10.10 with a single supported 12.04/13.04 install | 14:46 |

| Kerim | adamk: I can't pastebin the log once I install fglxr. Because I get a black screen after grub and will only be able to go into recovery root shell | 14:49 |
| adamk | Kerim: Setup ssh so you can log in remotely from another machine. | 14:49 |
| christos_ | i have doanload wire shark | 14:49 |
| adamk | Kerim: And make sure you create an xorg.conf file where the intel GPU is disabled. | 14:50 |
| christos_ | but cant find my ethernet what can i do | 14:50 |
| Pici | christos_: you need to run it with sudo in order to see your interfaces and capture packets. | 14:50 |
| Kerim | usr13: Nope :/ , sigh. | 14:50 |
| Pici | christos_: or gksudo since its a gui application. | 14:50 |
| Kerim | adamk: The Intel GPU is not connected to the screen but okay | 14:50 |
| adamk | Kerim: It doesn't matter if it's connected or not. Xorg is clearly trying to use it as you can see in your Xorg log file. | 14:51 |
| nbubuntu | ikonia : but I had a lot programs on old distro , going for dual boot actually able to help me to copy the file directly and install rather than download the program again on new 12.04 | 14:51 |

| ikonia | nbubuntu: you're saying you're new, and asking for advice, I'm advising you not to do what you want to do but approch it different, and you're ignoring it | 14:55 |
| ikonia | nbubuntu: I very very strongly advise you not to try to dualboot 10.10 and 12.04 - but do it properly, backup what you need and upgrade or replace 10.10 with 12.04 | 14:55 |

| Ampelbein | christos_: Start wireshark with "gksu wireshark". Do the network devices show up then? | 14:58 |
| adamk | Kerim: You create an xorg.conf file that specifies *just* the radeon GPU. | 14:58 |
| wilee-nilee | christos_, Getting wireshark we c an help with, but I believe actually using it may be not supported | 14:58 |
| christos_ | how can i do it to start with this mode | 14:58 |
| Sk1Special | so would dual booting two ubuntus within the same pc but on separate drives be a problem? | 14:59 |
| wilee-nilee | christos_, If you are registered you might try ##linux | 14:59 |
| Kerim | adamk: But the driver does that. I just checked out the xorg.conf before uninstalling the beta drivers and it only contained the ati stuff. Wait, lemme pastebin it | 14:59 |
| Ampelbein | christos_: http://anonscm.debian.org/viewvc/collab-maint/ext-maint/wireshark/trunk/debian/README.Debian?view=markup has an explanation what you need to do. | 14:59 |
| Kerim | adamk: pastebin.com/sdQaghp63 | 15:00 |
| adamk | Kerim: That paste has been removed. In any case, the Xorg log file you posted showed that it wasn't using an xorg.conf file that prevented the intel GPU from being used. | 15:01 |

| Dave257 | well, I've been looking for drivers for a radeon x1600 with no luck | 15:59 |
| === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O | ||
| adamk | Kerim: You stil don't have the catalyst driver installed... At least not properly. | 15:59 |
| lpapp_ | hi, is there any ubuntu version using LTS kernel version | 16:00 |
| ikonia | lpapp_: all the lts releases use lts kernel | 16:00 |
| holstein | Dave257: there are 3.. and the link i gave will tell you how to search for the ones to try | 16:00 |
| adamk | Dave257: yeah, there are no other drivers for that GPU other than the open source ones. | 16:00 |
| wilee-nilee | Ether_Echoes, Not sure but that desktop does not use compiz I believe, so did any of this startaround the time of what ever you did with compiz? | 16:00 |
| holstein | Dave257: adamk seems to have first hand experience with that hardware, i would refer to his posts | 16:00 |
| lpapp_ | ikonia: 12.04 does not use 3.4 | 16:00 |
| MonkeyDust | lpapp_ that's a bit too soon, IIRC, 3.10 LTS kernel is only a release candidate | 16:00 |
| lpapp_ | nor 3.0 | 16:00 |
| adamk | Dave257: I would definitely report this as a bug to Ubuntu and it's probably worth asking about in #radeon. | 16:00 |
| Ether_Echoes | No. I've never touched it, actually. It started when I did a partial update earlier today | 16:00 |
| ikonia | lpapp_: what ? | 16:00 |
| Dave257 | figured as much. an older kernel would it work on 13 or do I have to install ubuntu 11 or something? on previous ubuntu versions the error happened constantly and wouldn't let me try a terminal | 16:00 |
| lpapp_ | MonkeyDust: 3.4 is an LTS kernel version. | 16:01 |
| ikonia | lpapp_: you didn't say 3.4 - you said "LTS" kernel | 16:01 |
| mikael1_ | goatman: gonna try this one, http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-3-9-kernel-on-ubuntu-13-04-12-10-12-04-and-linux-mint-15-14-13/ | 16:01 |
| lpapp_ | which is 3.0 and 3.4 | 16:01 |
| holstein | Dave257: 13.04.. an older kernel will be listed in grub.. you select it at boot | 16:01 |
| mikael1_ | Goatman: the one you linked was Saucy | 16:01 |

| lpapp_ | and 3.2 | 16:01 |
| lpapp_ | what does ubuntu 12.04 use? | 16:01 |
| ikonia | mikael1_: why are you changing the kernel | 16:01 |
| wilee-nilee | Ether_Echoes, Ah a partial update, never do that, that is the problem, it is partial because npt all dependencies are there. | 16:01 |
| Kerim | adamk: I did install it | 16:01 |
| Ether_Echoes | ech | 16:01 |
| ikonia | lpapp_: LTS kernels are the kernels provided in the main repos from the long term support distros | 16:01 |
| Ether_Echoes | ~ Any way to walk it back or do I need to do a fresh reinstall? | 16:01 |
| MonkeyDust | lpapp_ 12.04 uses 3.2 | 16:01 |
| ikonia | lpapp_: so 10.04 will use the 10.04 LTS kernel, 12.04 will use the 12.04 LTS kernel, so I'm not why you are referencing kernel version numbers | 16:02 |
| wilee-nilee | Ether_Echoes, Those dependencies show up, and if you are lucky will be installed, you may need to run a sudo apt-get dist-upgrade to get them if possible. | 16:02 |
| Ether_Echoes | I tried that earlier, no changes | 16:02 |

| Memphis | Please help. I've been trying to get over this issue for over three months. | 16:05 |
| Memphis | nothing helps. | 16:05 |
| Kerim | adamk: This time I downloaded the 13.8 driver, generated distro specific driver package and installed the resulting .deb files | 16:05 |
| Ether_Echoes | Also, in the future, when I see it asking about a partial update, should I just ignore it? | 16:05 |
| wilee-nilee | Ether_Echoes, Hard to say really, it is all in the ether what has happened we are only assuming at this point. | 16:06 |

| wilee-nilee | Ether_Echoes, Wait for a good update, I.E. the dependencies added or use the terminal and a dist-upgrade and look at what it is offering before hitting Y for yes. | 16:11 |

| kdawg | reason is i use SARDU and as far as i am aware it can only put one copy of it on the usb stick | 16:22 |
| kdawg | so if i can make the iso have all of them then i can use SARDU put it on the USB stick | 16:22 |
| wilee-nilee | SnowmanX11, To the channel not me, honestly do what you want I have been helping here for a long time there are norms and channel technically rules, if you want best help you learn them. | 16:22 |

| __oz__ | ikonia: thanks | 16:25 |
| SnowmanX11 | maybe it is laptop specific, I do not know... | 16:26 |

| daftykins | Kerim: which driver is enabled at that point? radeon? | 16:26 |
| Kerim | daftykins: Not fglxr, some open source radeon one. Can't remember exactly | 16:27 |
| daftykins | yeah, 'radeon' then | 16:27 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, There are multi-iso loaders for usb's | 16:27 |
| daftykins | Kerim: this is 13.04 64-bit i take it? | 16:27 |
| Kerim | daftykins: yes | 16:28 |
| daftykins | Kerim: what kind of computer? | 16:28 |

| ActionPa1snip | __oz__: why do you want rid of it? | 16:35 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: the icon next to the menu button in the bottom left hand corner | 16:36 |
| ikonia | __oz__: ok - so that means you are not launching it as the super user | 16:36 |
| ikonia | __oz__: hence why you don't have permissions | 16:36 |
| ActionPa1snip | __oz__: the folder is 4Kb here..... is yours | 16:36 |

| ikonia | kdawg: look at linux format magazine, they ship multi-boot CD/DVD roms | 16:38 |

| ikonia | kdawg: they document th eprocess | 16:38 |
| ikonia | kdawg: it's not "hard" but it does require a good understanding of quite a few things | 16:38 |
| ActionPa1snip | kdawg: http://www.pendrivelinux.com/tag/multiboot-iso/ | 16:38 |
| daftykins | Kerim: can you just clean install 13.04 and go through it step by step with someone first? | 16:38 |
| daftykins | Kerim: i think something obvious is going awry | 16:38 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: because i dont have it installed | 16:38 |
| Kerim | daftykins: Alright | 16:38 |
| ikonia | __oz__: then why are you deleting it ? | 16:39 |
| adamk | Kerim: You downloaded the latest release from AMD, built a package with the '--buildpkg Ubuntu/raring' option, and then installed the deb it created? | 16:39 |
| adamk | debs, rather. | 16:39 |
| Kerim | adamk: Exactly. | 16:39 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: do you recomend leaving it there for now? | 16:39 |

| kdawg | iknonia google linux format magazine let you no how things go | 16:40 |
| adamk | Kerim: And you didn't receive *any* errors from any of the commands you ran? | 16:40 |
| ikonia | kdawg: pardon ? | 16:40 |
| kdawg | i meant to say i am googling | 16:40 |
| kdawg | that should help peace that together better | 16:40 |
| ikonia | __oz__: you've just deleted the webserver, and now you are trying to delete the configs, but you say "I want a web server" - then why delete one ? | 16:40 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: i thought i had more than one apatche installed | 16:41 |
| Kerim | adamk: I did get glibc errors ( I have glibc version 2.17) but at the end an "installation complete" or something way too optimistic like that | 16:41 |
| ikonia | __oz__: why did you think that ? | 16:41 |
| ActionPa1snip | kdawg: after a lot of Linux use, you dont need magazines so much | 16:41 |
| kdawg | you its always hard when you are trying to learn something new | 16:41 |
| adamk | Kerim: Run those same commands again, and this time pastebin the commands and their full output. | 16:42 |
| adamk | Kerim: I just did the same thing on my computer and the drivers installed without any problems and without any errors. | 16:42 |
| daftykins | Kerim: do it with no internet connection so not applying updates first i would say | 16:42 |
| kdawg | first you is yeah tired been up all night | 16:42 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: i ran sudo apt-get purge mysql-server apatche2 php5 | 16:43 |
| Kerim | adamk: Hah, kinda late. I'm doing a fresh install of 13.04 as daftykins suggested. I'll message you two once I got things ready | 16:43 |
| ikonia | __oz__: why ? | 16:43 |
| ikonia | __oz__: you are saying "I want these products" - so why are you deleting them ? | 16:43 |
| kdawg | was this the website you were trying to point me to http://www.linuxformat.com/? | 16:43 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: so i intended running that, then installing lamp again | 16:43 |
| ikonia | kdawg: thats the one | 16:43 |
| ikonia | __oz__: why ? | 16:43 |
| MoPac | [30 min bump] Hello; I'm having trouble with chmod and chown for files mounted on an smb share in my home folder (many of which are old windows files with high permissions). Running chmod 777 -R -v or chown username -R -v makes all the changes, but they all seem to instantly revert. Nautilus can't actually delete the directories. | 16:44 |
| ikonia | __oz__: why are you deleting lamp packages, to install lamp packages, | 16:44 |
| MoPac | I believe this is a FUSE mount | 16:44 |
| daftykins | adamk: sorry to muscle in there | 16:44 |
| kdawg | see if i can find anything on here about multiboot ubuntu | 16:44 |
| ikonia | MoPac: you need to change them on the server, not the client | 16:44 |
| ross` | what's the name of the proprietary adobe flash package? | 16:44 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: i thought i installed two different server packages for some reason | 16:44 |
| daftykins | kdawg: did you not look at the thing i suggested when you first came in? | 16:44 |
| ikonia | kdawg: not multi-boot ubuntu, multi-boot in general cd/dvd's | 16:44 |
| ikonia | __oz__: why do you think that ? | 16:44 |
| MoPac | ikonia: The server is just a FAT-formatted NAS, though, not a whole machine | 16:45 |
| ikonia | MoPac: FAT does not have permission support | 16:45 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: i was googling terminal commands to install lamp | 16:45 |
| MoPac | ikonia: hm, maybe it's NTFS; I can check | 16:45 |
| dabbish | what is the name of this syntax/design pattern: assert bazz('foo')('bar') == 'foobar' | 16:45 |
| ikonia | MoPac: then you need to set the permissions on the server | 16:45 |
| ubuntu_newbie | Hello there. I am currently in ubuntu 12.04 LTS live session and want to install it on /dev/sda7 alongside backtrack, windows xp and windows 7. The problem is that in this live session ubuntu installation utility is showing that there is no operating system. What should i do? | 16:46 |
| kdawg | the basics are the same but aren't there specidics to each individual distro? | 16:46 |
| ubuntu_newbie | Screenshot: http://i.imgur.com/FTIdrVf.png | 16:46 |
| ikonia | __oz__: sorry, you make no sense, you've suggested no reason why you think you had multiple versions installed | 16:46 |
| daftykins | ubuntu_newbie: use 'something else' to partition manually | 16:46 |

| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: you're going to have problems managing dual boot | 16:46 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: it had something to do with me executing more than one installation in terminal. it doesnt make sense now i know | 16:47 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ikonia: I can manage to restore grub later on. | 16:47 |
| bhavesh | I have a USB device which is detected in windows but not in ubuntu, dmesg gives different kinds of errors each time, ex: usb 1-6: device descriptor read/64, error -71, hub 2-0:1.0: unable to enumerate USB device on port 6 etc | 16:47 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: backtrack and ubuntu use different grub designs, this is going to cause you problems | 16:47 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: is it ok to install lamp now? | 16:48 |
| ikonia | __oz__: you already had it installed | 16:48 |
| bhavesh | I tried connecting in all usb ports | 16:49 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: yes, i'm new to ubuntu. thought i could have installed it twice | 16:49 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ikonia: I was already running these four Operating systems for two years without any conflict. Now i want to replace ubuntu 11.04 by ubuntu 12.04 LTS on /dev/sda7. | 16:49 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: two different types | 16:49 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: i wanted lamp, thought i had installed another type | 16:49 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: yes, and the grub designs changed in 12.04 - hence why I'm warning you | 16:49 |
| Pici | __oz__: which two types? | 16:49 |
| __oz__ | ikonia: lamp and xampp | 16:49 |
| Pici | __oz__: Well, if you installed xampp, we wouldn't be able to help you. That is an unsupported method of installing a web server. | 16:50 |
| MoPac | ikonia: So even though a file's owner is "root" on my NAS, there is no way for me to sudo chmod or sudo chown it over smb? Would it be possible via FTP/gigolo or somesuch perhaps? | 16:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | ubuntu_newbie: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? | 16:51 |
| ikonia | MoPac: none of those tools change permissions, | 16:51 |
| ikonia | MoPac: the point is the permissions are set on the server, however if it's a "fuse" mount as you said, I'm suprised it's not mounted as your current user | 16:51 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ActionPa1snip: Yes | 16:52 |
| daftykins | bhavesh: are we to guess the device? | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ikonia: Any feasible soln.? | 16:52 |
| MoPac | ikonia: It is mounted as my current user. There are only certain files that are edit-locked...apparently ones that were protected files back when they were on a Windows hard drive | 16:52 |
| MoPac | ikonia: chmod doesn't change permissions for a file? | 16:52 |
| ikonia | MoPac: there you go then, you need to fix that at the server as it's just exporting the data | 16:52 |
| ubuntu_newbie | Can i replace old grub with new grub? | 16:53 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: to be honest, you're using a dead distro, with a current distro with a different boot method, it's a bad mix | 16:53 |
| failmastah | hey guys, i assume that i will end up with bricked system, due to the fact that 13.04 server doesn't want to use a keyfile for luks authorization during boot process, i came to this conclusion after i left only Slot 0 with a key file on /boot device (which works flawless for non-root partitions) and initramfs warned me that "target [luks_disk_root/] uses a key file, skipped" | 16:53 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: the designs for how ubuntu 12.04 uses grub is not good for dualbooting multiple linux distros sadly | 16:53 |
| failmastah | this thing was working perfect on 12.04 | 16:53 |
| failmastah | i desperately need some tips on my case | 16:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | failmastah: then why fix it? | 16:54 |
| daftykins | failmastah: using a non-LTS server release was quite possibly mistake #2 | 16:54 |
| daftykins | *#1 | 16:54 |
| daftykins | in fact it was so big it was #2 as well :( | 16:54 |
| MoPac | ikonia: There is no way for me to fix it at the "server", since it's just a NAS with a very minimal managemeent interface | 16:54 |
| failmastah | ActionPa1snip, i don't, this is another box | 16:54 |
| ikonia | MoPac: then take the disk out of it and fix t | 16:55 |
| ross` | what is the flash plugin package? | 16:55 |
| ross` | can someone tell me? | 16:55 |
| ikonia | !flash | ross` | 16:55 |
| ubottu | ross`: To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 16:55 |
| failmastah | and i already configured pretty much a lot of stuff | 16:55 |
| MoPac | ikonia: It's sealed | 16:55 |
| failmastah | daftykins, yeah, probably you're right | 16:55 |
| ikonia | MoPac: what's sealed ? | 16:55 |
| Kerim | adamk, daftykins : Okay guys. I got a fresh non-updated 13.04. What do? | 16:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | failmastah: then install the LTS on the misbehaving system. Raring is only supported tol Jan uary 2014, forcing a upgrade... | 16:55 |
| adamk | Kerim: First, try the driver offered by the "Additional Drivers" program. | 16:55 |
| MoPac | ikonia: The NAS. The thing is buttoned-up like an iPhone; disks aren't swappable | 16:56 |
| daftykins | ^ sounds good to me | 16:56 |
| ikonia | MoPac: then how did you put the windows disk in ? | 16:56 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ikonia: I am ready to lose backtrack. Can i still retain windows bootloader in newer grub? | 16:56 |
| failmastah | so is it a solution just wipe all the stuff | 16:56 |
| failmastah | no, i don't think so | 16:56 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: the windows boot loader is totally seperate from grub | 16:56 |
| MoPac | ikonia: It's just backup files copies from an old Windows disk | 16:56 |
| Kerim | adamk, daftykins : No additional drivers listed | 16:56 |
| ikonia | MoPac: then copy them off and fix them | 16:57 |
| daftykins | adamk: isn't there some kind of thing you have to force sometimes when it fails to detect certain cards? | 16:57 |
| adamk | daftykins: Not that I know of... | 16:57 |
| MoPac | ikonia: that's the problem: they're protected! I can't delete them | 16:57 |
| ross` | ikonia: ahhh, damn multiverse :p | 16:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | failmastah: its my advise, non-lts for servers you intend to run for a long time is pretty daft imho | 16:57 |
| ross` | that's why i couldn't find it | 16:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | failmastah: are there any bugs reported? | 16:58 |
| failmastah | ActionPa1snip, i don't plan to run it for a long time | 16:58 |
| failmastah | ActionPa1snip, https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+question/37176 this came up pretty fast but... | 16:58 |

| adamk | Kerim: OK, let's try the driver from AMDs website then... | 16:59 |
| Kerim | adamk, daftykins : No additional drivers, no xorg.conf. lspci does show the GPU. | 16:59 |
| Kerim | adamk: okay | 16:59 |
| daftykins | bhavesh: is it one of those 'too clever' ones that emulates a CD drive to give access to a device decryption utility? | 16:59 |
| adamk | Kerim: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI#Installing_upstream_drivers_directly_from_AMD.27s_website | 16:59 |
| daftykins | Kerim: sounds good, what's the lspci entry? | 16:59 |
| adamk | Kerim: When you get to the point where you run 'sh amd-driver-installer' make sure you pastebin the output of hte command. | 17:00 |
| adamk | I'll be back in a few minutes. | 17:00 |
| kdawg | ikonia using google site search function to search the site I am finding forum posts that seem to talk a lot of geber gaber not partaining to my guestion specifically and dvds to download but i don't no if they will contain anymore info then i am already readying | 17:00 |
| kdawg | unless these dvd.iso | 17:01 |
| kdawg | actually have how they created the cd on it | 17:01 |
| bhavesh | daftykins: nope\ | 17:01 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ikonia: Atleast the ubuntu 12.04 LTS installation utility should detect partitions. It isn't even detecting 9 partitions. Is this problem also due to conflict? | 17:01 |
| daftykins | kdawg: you're still going on about this topic and yet you've still yet to respond to what i kept saying =| | 17:01 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: where is it not detecting the partitions ? | 17:02 |
| kerim2 | daftykins: : http://pastebin.com/PgtZ0gqZ | 17:02 |

| kdawg | but i will scrule up and double checl | 17:02 |

| kdawg | probably not sorry daftykins | 17:03 |
| Kerim | adamk: Are you sure you want me to install 13.4 and not 13.8 ? | 17:03 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| daftykins | Kerim: 13.8 appears to be a beta | 17:04 |
| adamk | Kerim: Given that 13.8 is beta, it's more likely to be broken. I wouldn't suggest using it unless we know for a fact that your GPU doesn't work with 13.4. | 17:04 |
| Kerim | daftykins, adamk : alrights | 17:04 |
| tete_ | hi, can someone help me how to install in textmode ubuntu with luks and full system encryption? do i have to first create the lvm or first configure encrypted volumes? | 17:04 |

| kdawg | daftykins SARDU "[09:23] <kdawg> its like pendrive for linux but it looks like it has more options" | 17:05 |
| failmastah | ActionPa1snip, it's not lvm, but still i guess it can be realted to my situation http://us.generation-nt.com/answer/bug-659688-cryptsetup-lvm-cryptsetup-wont-boot-help-206417722.html | 17:05 |
| daftykins | kdawg: ah i see - sorry i missed that one then. was pendrivelinux's one not functional for your task? | 17:06 |
| kdawg | pendrivelinux seems to have more versions of linux it can add | 17:06 |
| kdawg | however | 17:06 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ikonia: When i click on "Something else" here, http://i.imgur.com/FTIdrVf.png ; i am presented with this, i.imgur.com/VjLQBxN.png | 17:06 |
| daftykins | well you just feed it custom ISOs | 17:06 |
| daftykins | no need to use its' built-in downloading function | 17:06 |
| kdawg | yes | 17:06 |
| ubuntu_newbie | It's just showing /dev/sda. And no partitions, absolutely nothing. | 17:06 |
| kdawg | thats the feature i am thinking of using | 17:06 |
| daftykins | ubuntu_newbie: and that's the only HDD? | 17:07 |
| ubuntu_newbie | yes | 17:07 |
| ubuntu_newbie | Only one HDD which is /dev/sda | 17:07 |
| daftykins | ubuntu_newbie: if you run a terminal, does 'sudo fdisk -l' show partitions or the same? | 17:07 |
| ubuntu_newbie | 160 GB | 17:07 |
| daftykins | also gparted | 17:07 |
| kdawg | daftykins sardu has an extra location you can add iso and stuff but you have to script it urself | 17:07 |

| daftykins | failmastah: so you decided to ignore all the LTS server advice? :) | 17:08 |
| Kerim | adamk, daftykins : Heh, sudo apt-get update just crashed my system. Did a reboot and now black screen (as in purple for Ubuntu) after bootloaer | 17:08 |
| failmastah | daftykins, it's too late for this advice, seriously | 17:08 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: is that the right disk, a 160GB disk ? | 17:08 |
| daftykins | failmastah: it's really not. if you get it working, you have until January then it's done. do you want this to work after that time? | 17:08 |
| kdawg | spaming this cause its what the word on topic just not to my problem http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/ubuntu-edge | 17:09 |
| ubuntu_newbie | daftykins: Gparted is showing unallocated space. Whereas "sudo fdisk -l" is showing my 8 partitions | 17:09 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ikonia: Yes, it is. | 17:09 |
| kdawg | who doesn't want that phone, cause i do | 17:09 |
| adamk | Kerim: 'apt-get update' crashed your entire system? I'd run a memory check on that computer then. | 17:09 |
| failmastah | daftykins, i suspect that the only way to deal with problems is to split them into chains and deal with the most relevant and actual ones | 17:09 |
| ikonia | kdawg: why are you posting that here ? | 17:09 |
| kdawg | you alll use ubuntu | 17:09 |
| ikonia | ubuntu_newbie: I suggest rebooting, and seeing if your machine still boots | 17:09 |
| tete_ | can someone please tell me whats the "correct" order in how to partition the layout with this ugly installer? i dont want to enter my encryption password two times :X want to have luks with lvm, or is there some way to force the installer to use my self-made (with terminal) partition layout? | 17:09 |
| ikonia | kdawg: yes, but why are you randomly posting that link, what do you want us to do with it ? | 17:09 |
| kdawg | figure i would give it more attention since it only has 15 more days | 17:09 |
| Kerim | adamk: Well, it didn't crash per se. Unity disappeared and I merely had the background and the mouse | 17:10 |
| ikonia | kdawg: we are all aware of it, please don't spam it again in ubuntu channels | 17:10 |
| failmastah | daftykins, i know that it is a bad idea, but deal is done, i will finish it no matter what, but the first attempt after nothing came up on my mind fast - to come here | 17:10 |

| Shadowandlight | anyone able to help me shrink a partition in unbutu, i am booted into the live CD... I have the following partitions.... http://i.imgur.com/wg1JDSt.png ... i want to shrink /dev/sda2 from 50gig to 20gig (only 11.8 is being used atm) but every method i've tried is failing | 17:27 |
| usr13 | Shadowandlight: What is on it? | 17:27 |
| ubuntu_newbie | I can recall last time, i was successful in installing older version of ubuntu from ubiquity. | 17:28 |
| ActionPa1snip | Shadowandlight: is the partition mounted right now? | 17:28 |
| ubuntu_newbie | daftykins: Yes it is | 17:28 |
| Shadowandlight | usr13: the partition is the root | 17:28 |
| usr13 | Shadowandlight: You are trying to shrink the wrong partition | 17:28 |
| ubuntu_newbie | ActionPa1snip: Can this problem arise due to some bad sectors in hard disk? | 17:29 |
| Shadowandlight | ActionPa1snip: umm i ran sudo mount -n -o remount,ro -t ext2 /dev/sda2 / | 17:29 |
| usr13 | Shadowandlight: sda2 is the extended partition, (containing sda5) | 17:29 |
| Shadowandlight | what partition do i shrink? and how? | 17:29 |
| daftykins | sda5 | 17:30 |
| Shadowandlight | sda5 is mounted i believe | 17:30 |
| Shadowandlight | but there is no option in gparted to reduce it | 17:30 |
| usr13 | Shadowandlight: What are you trying to do? | 17:30 |
| Shadowandlight | i have a 50gig partition with 11.8 gigs of data | 17:30 |
| Shadowandlight | and i want it to go to 20gigs | 17:30 |
| usr13 | Shadowandlight: Other than to delete partitions, you have only two options, sda1 or sda5 | 17:31 |
| usr13 | Shadowandlight: You can either shrink sda1 or sda5. | 17:31 |
| counterglitch | hey everyone | 17:31 |
| Shadowandlight | ok i want to shrink sda 5 then... | 17:32 |
| daftykins | hi | 17:32 |

| Shadowandlight | i am working on moving this server to a VPS | 17:32 |
| Shadowandlight | but at 50gigs its wasted space | 17:32 |
| counterglitch | I just installed steam, it downloads the runtime and starts up, I'm at the window with the option to log-in but I can't click anything or move the window. I have to force close it.

| CharlieSu | When installing the tomcat7 package, is there a way to have it not install openjdk6? I've already installed JAva7 from Oracle. | 17:33 |
| ActionPa1snip | Shadowandlight: if the partition you want to resize is mounted then you will not be allowed. That is the entire point of using the livecd | 17:34 |
| Scriptonaut | guys, so I installed (and activated) the broadcom sta driver | 17:34 |
| Scriptonaut | however it's not working | 17:34 |
| Scriptonaut | I don't have the option to search for wireless networks | 17:34 |
| ActionPa1snip | Scriptonaut: if you run: sudo iwlist scan do you see wireless networks? | 17:34 |
| Shadowandlight | ActionPa1snip: i was trying to follow guides to do this - http://ianozsvald.com/2012/07/26/using-zerofree-to-shrink-a-virtualbox-linux-image/ .... which recommended using zerofree on the drive 1st | 17:34 |
| daftykins | ikonia: there's an idea that the second NTFS partition being a primary within the extended could be breaking things | 17:35 |
| Shadowandlight | another guide, similar process - http://www.fidian.com/programming/shrinking-vm-disk-images | 17:35 |
| Scriptonaut | ActionPa1snip: I get eth0: Interface doesn't support scanning. eth1: Interface doesn't suupport scanning: Network is down | 17:35 |
| ikonia | daftykins: never heard that | 17:36 |
| Scriptonaut | under system settings it says the driver is activated and currently in use | 17:36 |
| ActionPa1snip | daftykins: partitions in extended partitions are logical partitions, not primary partitions | 17:36 |
| daftykins | ActionPa1snip: this is the point | 17:36 |
| ActionPa1snip | Scriptonaut: sudo ifup eth1 | 17:36 |

| lsdjf123 | I know I am going to get beat up for this, but I need a linux server that has gui to run virtualbox. It has dual nics. Any ideas? Using it to run basically untangle VM and freenas VM so far. 1TB hdd | 17:52 |
| Scriptonaut | so how do I get to System/Administration/Hardware/Additional Drivers | 17:52 |
| ubuntu_newbie | daftykins: Yes, i did two years ago. I manually resized partitions using partition magic live CD. I recall that after that i was not able to boot anymore. Then i ran ubuntu live CD and restored grub. After that, i was able to access the four Operating systems. | 17:52 |

| Scriptonaut | no it's not. I clicked remove for the sta driver | 17:53 |
| Scriptonaut | it's not longer activated | 17:53 |
| usr13 | Scriptonaut: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5959722/ (From: From: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx ) | 17:53 |

| usr13 | Scriptonaut: "To load a specific driver use *one* of the following commands:" | 17:54 |

| daftykins | ubuntu_newbie: i think the partitioning is too broken for an install with ubiquity (the graphical installer) to work | 17:54 |
| lsdjf123 | holstein: you are awesome. Thanks. Wonder why its not part of Ubuntu proper? | 17:54 |
| holstein | uvala: "dist-upgrade" should resolve your issue, and *will* *not* upgrade a 12.04 to 12.10 | 17:54 |
| uvala | holstein, I do take your suggestion :) | 17:54 |
| Scriptonaut | so, I used that and nothing has seemed to change | 17:54 |

| lpapp | ikonia: no no | 18:13 |
| lpapp | you are confused. | 18:13 |
| ikonia | lpapp: the problem is the difference in meaning between ubuntu "LTS" and the new kernel naming "LTS" | 18:14 |
| lpapp | Ubuntu LTS is a different project than kernel LTS | 18:14 |
| ikonia | lpapp: yes, I'm aware of that, however you didn't make that clear in your initial question | 18:14 |
| lpapp | LTS kernel means LTS ubuntu in your opinion? o_O | 18:14 |
| Ari-Yang | !lts | 18:14 |
| ubottu | LTS means Long Term Support. LTS versions of Ubuntu will be supported for 3 years on the desktop, and 5 years on the server; with the exception of 12.04 (Precise Pangolin), which will be supported for 5 years on the desktop. The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 18:14 |
| ikonia | lpapp: and as ubuntu picks a kernel at "release" time and sticks with it until EOL - you'll find that the kernel "LTS" is out of sync with kernel "LTS" | 18:14 |
| Scriptonaut | well, I removed that line, still no luck unfortunately | 18:15 |
| ikonia | lpapp: to the majority of users asking "LTS kernel" means a "kernel from the LTS release" | 18:15 |
| lpapp | ikonia: nope, kernel LTS | 18:15 |
| lpapp | and I have been told here 3.2 would be that. | 18:15 |

| failmaster | hey guys, i assume that i will end up with "unusable" system, due to the fact that 13.04 server doesn't want to use a keyfile for luks authorization during boot process, i came to this conclusion after i left only Slot 0 with a key file on /boot device (which works flawless for non-root partitions) and cryptsetup warned me during initramfs-update that "target [luks_disk_root/] uses a key file, skipped" | 18:20 |

| failmaster | echo_dev_, expand the problem first | 20:08 |
| Dr_Willis | wolter: just delete/rename it | 20:08 |
| echo_dev_ | I have linux mint 12 running on an acer aspire one with the said chipset and it randomly drops internet connection after a few minutes of being logged onto the network or also when throwing any heavy traffic at it | 20:09 |
| echo_dev_ | it stays connected to the network but.. | 20:09 |
| echo_dev_ | anything having to do with internet just hangs, loading a page, pinging, etc, it doesnt fail it just hangs | 20:09 |
| Slart_2 | echo_dev_: since it's linux mint you shouldn't really look for help in the ubuntu channels.. but you might want to include what the network chipset is called.. output from lspci or similar | 20:09 |

| daftykins | Marlenee: LTS releases tend to only update to newer LTS, there hasn't been one yet | 20:10 |
| Slart_2 | Marlenee: there are settings for updating to newest release, or update to newer LTS release only | 20:10 |
| echo_dev_ | Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 100 | 20:10 |

| Marlenee | the latest is 13 | 20:11 |
| echo_dev_ | slart_2 Network controller: Intel Corporation Centrino Wireless-N 100 | 20:11 |
| Slart_2 | dwarder: you *can* limit who can use sudo.. it isn't configured that way by default though | 20:11 |
| Dr_Willis | dwarder: su is very differnt then 'sudo' also | 20:12 |
| Dr_Willis | you cant 'su' to root by default in ubuntu. a user could su to another user. | 20:12 |
| zykotick9 | Slart_2: ahhh, i thought only the initial user was automatically added to the "sudo" group? unless things have changed (which is certainly possible). | 20:13 |
| Slart_2 | echo_dev_: I have the same problem but that's because of a known regression in another network chipset | 20:13 |
| echo_dev_ | so what should i do about it? buy an adapter? | 20:13 |
| Dr_Willis | echo_dev_: its possivble a fix is being worked on and may come out in a kernel update. but that may take time to happen | 20:14 |
| Dr_Willis | zykotick9: only the first user has sudo rights as far as i know. | 20:14 |
| Slart_2 | zykotick9: hmm.. I'm not sure what ubuntu does with additional users any more.. I was just assuming it kept on going the way it did with the first one.. it makes sense to not add everyone as a sudo user by default though | 20:14 |

| lonewulf85 | Dr_Willis, I have installed conkylua and my setup also monitors my swap percent but it says no swap | 20:21 |
| Dr_Willis | lonewulf85: then your conky config file is doing it wrong would be my guess. | 20:21 |

| failmaster | Dr_Willis, why rip when others do, just seed it | 20:28 |

| McDeffice | Hi, how can I choose to use the graphics driver in Ubuntu 13.04 raring for AMD / ATI Cypress XT [Radeon HD 5870]? "ubuntu-drivers devices" display : fglrx-13 fglrx-12, fglrx-updates, fglrx, xserver-xorg-video-ati. It seems to me that I would have xserver-xorg-video-ati default and removed the other, right? | 20:57 |
| daniel_2013 | thank you gr8, i will look look up solution.. | 20:57 |
| lonewulf85 | Marlenee, I have just run the command and it cannot find it for me either one moment and I will send you a link to a very useful app. | 20:58 |

| strixUK | i've inherited a machine (mostly LAMP server) based on centos + cpanel. it now looks likely that we'll move to a new host, which means i get to choose distro. centos is out, so it's between debian and ubuntu. why would you choose ubuntu over debian? | 21:01 |
| kapostedess | s | 21:01 |
| kapostedess | hello, what does this error mean? pastebin https://bitly.com/15bKjEE | 21:02 |
| cowbacon | strixUK: may we know why centos is out of the question? also I would use debian for server since its rock solid and you rather want rock solid than cutting edge on servers | 21:02 |
| kari | GeForce4 MX 440 that gpu i have :) | 21:02 |
| kari | maybe the problem is in the driver | 21:02 |
| gr8 | guys, if daniel_2013 tell him there is nothing that he can do to fix it... acpi_toshiba does not exist anymore. | 21:03 |
| gr8 | I mean if he comes back... | 21:03 |
| lonewulf85 | kari, I have that gpu what is the problem? | 21:03 |
| McDeffice | trism -> Hello, you are on ? | 21:03 |
| strixUK | cowbacon: because centos pisses me off in many little ways, plus i'm more familiar with ubuntu because i use it on my research and my home machines | 21:04 |

| daftykins | RumPoint: looking up the release notes can be useful to tell you that | 21:06 |
| k4t434sis | lots, should check their changelog | 21:06 |
| strixUK | cowbacon: also centos in my experience is old (but i'm prejudiced, since it's not always been possible to upgrade to the latest centos) | 21:06 |
| kari | lonewulf85, i can't watch youtube flash videos | 21:09 |
| kari | lonewulf85, this is fresh install 12.04 lts | 21:09 |
| lonewulf85 | kari, Have you tried to download flash? | 21:09 |
| Dr_Willis | sk1special: locked to the taskbar makes no sence. you can always alt-click and drag windows around | 21:10 |
| Dr_Willis | !flash | 21:10 |
| ubottu | To install Flash see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/Flash - See also !Restricted and !Gnash | 21:10 |

| Dr_Willis | kari: check the package manager to be sure the flash plugin is installed. | 21:11 |
| kari | Dr_Willis, it is installed | 21:11 |
| Dr_Willis | kari: if you go to youtube what do you see in the browser window exactly then? | 21:11 |

| RumPoint | but I don't want to use microsoft or NSA tieins | 21:12 |
| kari | Dr_Willis, 90% white in that video area and sometimes there comes black screen for 2-4 secs and again white. | 21:12 |
| RumPoint | daftykins: which linux is customizable | 21:12 |
| lonewulf85 | sk1special, Hold down the click and drag it off | 21:12 |
| daftykins | RumPoint: ubuntu/xubuntu/lubuntu should be fine then. every one is customisable | 21:12 |
| Dr_Willis | RumPoint: they all are customiuzeable. | 21:12 |
| sk1special | Dr_Willis, thats exactly what i ment..where they merge by default. but that works so t/y :] | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | merge? | 21:13 |
| RumPoint | dr_willis i mean that can be custom compiled | 21:13 |
| free2see | ciao | 21:13 |
| kari | Dr_Willis, it will be just black no video or sound. and when i start firefox at console i get that send/rcv error | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | RumPoint: err.. all of them include source. so all of them | 21:13 |
| RumPoint | gentoo i think? | 21:13 |
| sk1special | Dr_Willis, like when i open terminal.. its top menu bar becomes part of the ubuntu menu bar.. when i open xchat its all in its own windows... but alt+click lets me pull the ones out that merge so | 21:13 |
| RumPoint | is that the most configurable | 21:13 |
| Dr_Willis | RumPoint: flip a coin.. all linux's are configurable.. | 21:14 |
| Dr_Willis | RumPoint: #ubuntu channel will reccomend ubuntu. ;) | 21:14 |
| Loshki | RumPoint: cowbacon: IMO, ubuntu has the best support (e.g. this channel) if you are not very familiar with linux | 21:14 |
| daftykins | unless they want to get kicked ;) | 21:14 |
| Dr_Willis | If you know enough to use gentoo, then you should know enought linux to know all this stuff. | 21:14 |
| RumPoint | lol | 21:14 |
| RumPoint | dr_willis lolz | 21:14 |
| RumPoint | then why arent i a millionaire yet | 21:14 |
| kari | Dr_Willis, when i go to youtube. Firefox is writing to console this: ###!!! [Parent][RPCChannel] Error: Channel error: cannot send/recv | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | kari: check askubuntu.com to see if others have seen a similer message and what it means. means nothing to me. | 21:15 |
| lonewulf85 | Is there a command to tell me full output of all process? | 21:15 |
| k4t434sis | doesn't gentoo require you to build your entire system from source? | 21:15 |
| Goatman | How can I use the mouse in the tty terminal | 21:15 |
| Dr_Willis | k4t434sis: somthing like that.. | 21:15 |

| daniel_2013 | ok, tried finding a solution, but as much as i could see, the only patch was taken out about 1 - 2 years ago. Problem is : required kernel toshiba support not enabled | 21:18 |
| daniel_2013 | am somewhat of a noob when it comes to linux, how do i enable / load the toshiba-module in the kernel ? | 21:19 |
| daftykins | daniel_2013: is that the exact name of it? open a terminal and try 'sudo modprobe toshiba-module' | 21:20 |
| daniel_2013 | not even sure if this is the right name for it : toshiba_acpi kernel module | 21:21 |
| daniel_2013 | modprobe toshiba_acpi gives no output | 21:22 |
| daftykins | daniel_2013: you'll soon see an error :) is a guide recommending you to enable that to make something work? | 21:22 |
| daftykins | daniel_2013: no it'll not say anything to signify success, it should've asked for your password though | 21:22 |

| RumPoint | Cant this come with Ubuntu? | 21:23 |
| RumPoint | :( | 21:23 |
| daniel_2013 | not even asking for password, and i was told i would need this activated to be able to see my battery level on the unity panel | 21:23 |
| daniel_2013 | ok, i closed the terminal and tried again, this time did ask for password and then no more output. | 21:24 |
| RumPoint | is ubuntu good for work environments? | 21:24 |
| daniel_2013 | am gonna log out and back in to see if this will give me the battery indicator that already is installed | 21:24 |
| RumPoint | if i want to create a business will ubuntu do everything i need it to do | 21:24 |
| RumPoint | or does ubuntu have limitations over other operating systems | 21:25 |

| jmbell | Hi, I'm having issues getting a Dell Inspiron 1501's internet capabilities to function properly with Ubuntu 12.04. I've tried installing drivers from a live USB, blacklisting native drivers in favor of the Broadcom drivers necessary for the machine, and even attempted to update the "nonfree" firmware, but none of this has worked. I'm about ready to give up, but I've had great success with Linux before and hope to stick with it | 21:26 |
| jmbell | . Any advice? | 21:26 |
| RumPoint | zzzzzzzzz | 21:26 |
| RumPoint | jmbell | 21:28 |
| daftykins | jmbell: you may have seen this already but just in case... | 21:28 |

| daniel_2013 | Toshiba_acpi kernel module not loaded, modprobe toshiba-acpi = NOTHING. am trying to get battery status on toshiba laptop. SOS. am in over my head. | 21:29 |
| gala | I've having trouble.. I want to use awesome wm, so I've installed it. But it doesn't show up in the log in screen. Any ideas? | 21:29 |
| jmbell | yeah, I've tried this fix, but haven't had any luck...the problem is that I can't sudo apt-get update since I'm not connected to the internet at all. Ironically I have an ip-address in the ifconfig...so it's recognizing that I've got a connection, but it's not allowing me to use it. | 21:29 |
| [1]Rapid2214 | got a default gateway? | 21:30 |
| daftykins | jmbell: that's odd. is it capable of pinging a LAN based machine at that point? also for an update, can you not temporarily use a wired connection? | 21:30 |
| jmbell | No, I can't ping anything. Nor can I use a wired connection. That'd make it much easier! ;) | 21:31 |
| daftykins | jmbell: what's up with wired? laptop not have it? | 21:31 |
| jmbell | I've tried to connect via ethernet, but it's not recognizing when I plug in the cable. | 21:32 |
| mindprodigy | hello, just downloaded ubuntu 13.04 32bit to install on my netbook. If I extract direct to a USB Pendrive will it boot and work? | 21:32 |
| jmbell | It's got drivers for it...namely the broadcom BCM4311 and BCM 4401 (the latter is for ethernet, fyi) | 21:32 |
| === maxx is now known as Guest9752 | ||
| zykotick9 | mindprodigy: not sure what "extract" means... but cat/dd-ing to USB will work. | 21:33 |
| kari | Dr_Willis, it seems i can't even watch video with VLC. So its not only flash problem :) | 21:33 |
| kari | Dr_Willis, i think i have wrong nvidia drivers | 21:33 |
| mindprodigy | zykotick9 I mean unzip the file *.iso to a pendrive... | 21:33 |
| daftykins | mindprodigy: no it doesn't work like that. | 21:34 |
| jmbell | But these drivers don't seem to function on Ubuntu out of the box. Even after blacklisting ssb and adding the B43 drivers to the boot list, I don't think the OS understands what I'm asking of it | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | mindprodigy: i HIGHLY doubt that will work. | 21:34 |
| Dr_Willis | kari: vlc has options for differnt 'video out modes' also one may work. but it does sound like some odd driver issue | 21:34 |
| mindprodigy | I see | 21:34 |
| zykotick9 | mindprodigy: the ISO is hybrid iso/usb to begin with... | 21:34 |
| mindprodigy | any program tip to make the bootable USB of ubuntu on win8? plz. | 21:35 |
| kari | Dr_Willis, well how to check my video driver settings? "nvidia-settings" is empty | 21:35 |
| Dr_Willis | mindprodigy: should be several tools to make live usbs in win8 at the pendrivelinux web site | 21:35 |
| Dr_Willis | kari: what do you mean 'empty' | 21:35 |
| jmbell | mindprodigy: if you haven't already, try Unetbootin | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | kari: if the nvidia driver was not in use that tool would say so and not run i belive | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | kari: theres also the nvidia-xconfig tool | 21:36 |
| Dr_Willis | kari: whichis a cli tool | 21:36 |
| mindprodigy | ok, I'll study that zykotick9. Ok Dr_Willis | 21:36 |

| Guest60858 | i keep getting DBus error org.gtk.Private.RemoteVolumeMonitor.NotFound: The given volume was not found when trying to format usb stick for a startup disk | 21:59 |
| Guest60858 | anyone know why? | 21:59 |
| ikonia | staykov: upgrading postfix how ? | 21:59 |
| failmaster | hey guys, i assume that i will end up with "unusable" system, due to the fact that 13.04 server doesn't want to use a keyfile for luks authorization during boot process, https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/238163/comments/18 anyone? | 21:59 |

| daniel_2013 | guest60858 did you try using gparted and creating a new partition table on the usb stick ? | 22:00 |
| Guest60858 | daniel_2013, no gparted doesnt reconise the usb stick | 22:02 |
| daniel_2013 | ouch.. | 22:02 |
| Guest60858 | oh hang on it gives me format option now....do i format in ext4 or fat16? | 22:02 |
| sk1special | how do i make the workspace switcher work as two on top of two instead of four in a row? | 22:03 |
| daniel_2013 | if you can go fat32 | 22:03 |
| sk1special | 13.04 | 22:03 |
| daniel_2013 | are you using the flash key as install disc or as install hd ? | 22:03 |
| Guest60858 | daniel_2013, thanks ...ill try that also in diff usb port | 22:03 |
| daniel_2013 | ur welcome. | 22:04 |
| Guest60858 | daniel_2013, install disc | 22:04 |
| daniel_2013 | then fat32 should be fine, don't forget to flag partition as bootable. | 22:04 |
| Guest60858 | also its an 8gb stick, would that make any difference? | 22:05 |
| daniel_2013 | nope | 22:05 |
| daniel_2013 | i have a 32g as fat32 | 22:05 |
| daniel_2013 | sorry not true.. its ntfs | 22:05 |
| jmbell | daftykins: think there is another distro with better broadcom support? Or should I seek further support and wait it out? I've read so many forums citing success with the inspiron 1500 series, but I've had no such luck. | 22:06 |
| daniel_2013 | am but should still work | 22:06 |
| Dr_Willis | i dont think you can use ntfs for a live-usb but it may be changed these days | 22:06 |
| phox | before I go an write it to a USB flash drive, can anyone confirm if the default install ISOs will boot from USB? | 22:06 |
| phox | *and | 22:06 |
| Dr_Willis | phox: you can image the iso to flash straight and it should boot fine | 22:06 |
| fellayaboy | is there a migration tool to migrate all info and programs to an new computer from an old computer? | 22:06 |
| Dr_Willis | phox: but im not clear on what you are doing exactly | 22:06 |
| phox | Dr_Willis: cool thanks. | 22:06 |

| james4k | if i have an ubuntu desktop install and i want to remove all packages but what you get from mini.iso basically... is there a way to do so? | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | fellayaboy: not that ive ever noticed. | 22:08 |
| pixelshuck | Hi guys, is there any way to install ubuntu using only Linux Mint? No boot media | 22:08 |
| daniel_2013 | REQUEST FOR HELP, toshiba-acpi kernel module not loaded.. how do i do this if sudo modprobe toshiba-acpi seems to do nothing | 22:08 |
| fellayaboy | similar to migration-assistance in mac and windows easy transfer | 22:08 |
| Dr_Willis | pixelshuck: debootstrap. or setup grub2 to boot the ISO from hard drive | 22:08 |
| === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity | ||
| * phox suggests option #2 there | 22:09 | |
| jmbell | No problem. Thanks daftykins. Anyone else have a suggestion for making the dell inspiron 1501 connect to the internet? All necessary drivers are installed, but none appear to be functioning properly. | 22:09 |
| phox | grub's imgboot stuff is cool | 22:09 |
| holstein | jmbell: i would say, it will be easier to get the mini.iso and install | 22:09 |
| MercX | what hardware do you have? | 22:09 |
| holstein | jmbell: sorry.. james4k ^^ | 22:09 |
| daniel_2013 | jmbell if you have a usb wireless adapter, install it and use it to do updates and upgrades, and hopefully that'll work | 22:10 |
| MercX | i have the broacom and the intel hardware working with the dell inspiron 1500 series laptops | 22:10 |
| jmbell | I don't have one on hand. I've been loading via another computer (the one I'm on now). But even with the updated drivers and firmware it doesn't seem to work | 22:10 |
| jmbell | I've got broadcom as well | 22:11 |
| Guest60858 | do i make partition in msdos? it doesnt work and wont let me format | 22:11 |
| MercX | you have tried the b43 drivers? | 22:11 |
| holstein | Guest60858: you are using dos? | 22:11 |
| jmbell | MercX: The wired and wireless connections don't show up. I've tried the b43 drivers and a few others as well | 22:11 |
| holstein | Guest60858: i use gparted from a live CD | 22:11 |
| MercX | fresh install of 13.10? | 22:12 |
| james4k | holstein: yeah, you're probably right | 22:12 |
| Guest60858 | holstein, no...sry was using wrong thing | 22:12 |
| daniel_2013 | jmbell are you using the linux drivers or are you using ndiswrapper and the windows drivers ? | 22:12 |
| jmbell | 12.04 | 22:12 |
| MercX | strange | 22:12 |
| pixelshuck | Which one is fastest/Easiest? | 22:12 |
| jmbell | daniel_2013: I've tried to use the ndiswrapper, but I first started with the linux drivers and a firmware update | 22:12 |
| Guest60858 | is working now | 22:12 |
| jmbell | Maybe I didn't use the ndiswrapper correctly? Likewise for the firmware/installed drivers? I've only been using linux for a few months now. | 22:13 |
| MercX | i have never used ndiswrapper so i couldn't help you there | 22:14 |
| === dpac is now known as dpac|away | ||
| daniel_2013 | jmbell, comming from a noob who just figured out how to use ndiswrapper about 3 months ago, you are doing the ndiswrapper -m, ndiswrapper-ma and modprobe ndiswrapper right ? | 22:14 |
| MercX | run this "lspci | grep Network" | 22:14 |
| holstein | there is an ndis-gtk gui frontend | 22:14 |
| daniel_2013 | i find the terminal ndiswrapper easier | 22:15 |
| daniel_2013 | can anyone help me with toshiba-acpi kernel module | 22:15 |
| holstein | daniel_2013: in what way? | 22:16 |
| Guest60858 | daniel_2013, im not sure | 22:16 |
| jmbell | I am not exactly sure, daniel_2013. Mercx, if you've gotten yours to work, let me know how. The output from the lspci is Broadcom Corp. BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) | 22:16 |
| holstein | !broadcom | jmbell | 22:16 |
| ubottu | jmbell: Help with Broadcom bcm43xx can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx | 22:16 |
| holstein | jmbell: i always refer to that and just install,manually, whatever is needed | 22:17 |
| daniel_2013 | i am trying to get my battery charge level to show, and i was told that apparently i don't have the toshiba-acpi kernel module loaded. yet when i try modprobe kernel-acpi, i get no output and nothing to show bat level even tho the monitors are install | 22:17 |
| benkillin | does anybody have any examples of people using ubuntu for professional audio usage such as live concerts and studio recording? | 22:17 |

| holstein | benkillin: http://byronhedgepeth.mikeholstein.info/ | 22:18 |
| daniel_2013 | yes there is.. called startup disc creator | 22:18 |
| Guest60858 | is that the one thats pre installed? | 22:18 |
| holstein | benkillin: check #opensourcemusicians for more examples | 22:18 |
| daniel_2013 | yes | 22:19 |
| Guest60858 | ok thats not working | 22:19 |
| holstein | jmbell: did you reference the wiki? | 22:19 |
| daniel_2013 | should | 22:19 |

| holstein | jmbell: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer is what i use for that chip.. are you sure the chip is functional? | 22:20 |
| daniel_2013 | guest60858 take the flash key and open gparted and check to make sure its flagged as bootable | 22:20 |
| holstein | jmbell: you can always try a live CD, and run sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer ...it works for me without rebot | 22:20 |
| holstein | reboot* | 22:20 |
| Guest60858 | daniel_2013, yeh it was the 2 previous times i tried | 22:21 |
| Guest60858 | it wont let me create partition table...only format now | 22:21 |
| daniel_2013 | is your bios set to boot from flash key, and is it able to do so | 22:21 |
| Guest60858 | yeh | 22:21 |
| daniel_2013 | guest60858 : it will only let you creat a partition if you delete the partition that is there | 22:22 |
| Guest60858 | i use 1 time start up from usb | 22:22 |
| Guest60858 | daniel_2013, says unallocated | 22:22 |
| jmbell | holstein: I can't install the firmware from the apt-get repos. I don't even have a wired connection available. With the live USB, the system doesn't seem to pull from the cd...it's still looking for the repos online. The chip was working before I installed ubuntu. | 22:22 |
| Bambi | --Hi, niggaz! :)) | 22:22 |
| Guest60858 | sry no unknown | 22:22 |
| daniel_2013 | then just create a partition without creating a new table | 22:22 |
| holstein | jmbell: the "easy" way will be to wire up.. if not, you'll need to follow the offline instructions.. which, i did once | 22:22 |
| daniel_2013 | any1 on with a toshiba laptop ? | 22:23 |
| Guest60858 | ok | 22:23 |
| holstein | jmbell: what do i suggest? go, with a live CD, to a friends house.. wire up.. install.. test.. install into the main OS and enjoy | 22:23 |
| Guest60858 | then use usb start up prog? | 22:23 |
| daniel_2013 | yep | 22:23 |
| Guest60858 | do i need to format in usb format prog? | 22:24 |
| holstein | Guest60858: prog? | 22:24 |
| Guest60858 | program | 22:24 |
| jmbell | holstein: I cannot use a wired connection. I'm working from my laptop right now. When I plug in, the computer doesn't know there's an ethernet cable plugged in. | 22:24 |
| daniel_2013 | you can try without but i do not think that the startup disc creator will see flashkey before its formatted somehow | 22:24 |
| holstein | Guest60858: what are you trying to do? boot a USB stick with live ubuntu?.. i use a fat32 formatted stick with unetbootin | 22:24 |
| jmbell | ^(my other laptop, sorry). I'm working on a friend's | 22:25 |
| Guest60858 | install from usb | 22:25 |
| holstein | jmbell: is the wired connection disabled in the bios? | 22:25 |
| jmbell | holstein: No, it's not | 22:25 |
| holstein | jmbell: what have you done to try and and install without networking? have you gotten sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer to work in offline mode? | 22:25 |

| fishcooker | how to trace back those using | 22:27 |
| holstein | NickRice it has nothing to do with ubuntu.. apple or intel or whomever made the hardware is always welcome and encouraged to support that hardware in linux/ubuntu | 22:27 |
| NickRice | Naw I meant, I just didn't know if ubuntu was able to handle my fans properly or something | 22:27 |
| holstein | NickRice: you can try other graphics drivers.. or other kernel versions from live CD's and see if its "better" | 22:27 |
| holstein | NickRice: if a driver is present, the the OS will work with the hardware | 22:27 |

| pixelshuck | How do I know my grub version? | 22:27 |
| holstein | !nounity | 22:28 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 22:28 |
| holstein | NickRice: .. or, just try a lubuntu or xubuntu live CD | 22:28 |
| holstein | NickRice: im not runing unity on mine | 22:28 |
| pixelshuck | How do I know my grub version? | 22:28 |
| holstein | pixelshuck: i would use a package manager.. and please dont repeat | 22:28 |
| softcoder | can anyone help me with this problem? | 22:28 |
| softcoder | or must i re-explain it better? | 22:28 |
| zykotick9 | pixelshuck: try "apt-cache policy grub2" | 22:29 |
| holstein | softcoder: i used a different KVM | 22:29 |
| pixelshuck | Thanks | 22:29 |
| softcoder | holstein, did you the same issue and another KVM fixed it? | 22:29 |
| NickRice | Naww It's gotta be on a partition, i prefer that way. If the driver was installed it wouldn't just be on the partition for osx then? | 22:29 |
| holstein | softcoder: not sure if "fixed" is the right term, but yes.. another unit "behaved" differently | 22:30 |
| softcoder | please tell me the EXACT model etc.. | 22:30 |
| softcoder | i am using trendnet TK-409 | 22:30 |
| holstein | softcoder: i dont have that in front of me.. and i cant remember which did it and which didnt | 22:31 |
| fishcooker | i don't know where location that consume much space | 22:31 |
| columb | Hey, could someone suggest me a wallpaper switcher for unity? To switch wallpaper every boot from my folder with wallpapers? | 22:34 |
| NickRice | holstein: Y'know, I use efi to boot, I got applesmc running, Im sure there were a few more errors I sorted out, Most people said this helped with them, is there really no known fix for it at this time? | 22:35 |
| holstein | NickRice: i mean, the definitive "fix" is proper driver support.. and ubuntu nor linux makes that hardwarwe.. so it can be challenging | 22:36 |

| tinkster | Slightly confused by "precise's" default behaviours ... 3 days ago I applied an "aptitude update && aptitude upgrade" to 3 servers. It patched ~ 50 packages up, but said the kernel packages were being held back. Today I was informed that there were 9 new secirity patches, but no word of kernel being held back any more.

| FloodBot1 | NickRice: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 22:45 |
| NickRice | you need to turn that usb into an executable. | 22:46 |
| tinkster | daftykins - good for you. I don't want to reboot the machines now, though, and would not want to take a risk with a new kernel in case of an unscheduled reboot. | 22:46 |
| NickRice | there are ways of doing it, it's quite simple really. You can google it and find a million different ways. When your USB becomes an executable, you just have to push a command at startup to run the usb and then youll have linux running from a usb | 22:46 |
| fishcooker | how to clean apt cache | 22:47 |
| fishcooker | it take a lot of space on my box | 22:47 |
| daftykins | sudo apt-get clean | 22:47 |

| fishcooker | thanks zykotick9 | 22:49 |
| zykotick9 | Wulf: bad idea... firefox for instance just had a security update the other day... | 22:49 |

| holstein | !pinning | 22:49 |
| ubottu | pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto | 22:49 |
| holstein | Wulf: ^ | 22:49 |
| phox | zykotick9: it also has "oops someone broke something" frequently | 22:49 |
| phox | :P | 22:49 |
| holstein | Wulf: you want to have firefox up to date | 22:49 |
| phox | no you want to have Chromium up to date because it doesn't break all the time ;) | 22:50 |
| Wulf | the new firefox 23 breaks my setup. | 22:50 |
| holstein | Wulf: maybe some addon.. but you really should consider that you are trading functionality for security | 22:50 |
| Wulf | tinkster: thanks | 22:50 |
| zykotick9 | phox: ;) i'd rather have firefox break, then help google spy... but your choice. | 22:50 |

| Wulf | err.. http://localhost/ | 22:52 |
| tinkster | so ... what feature in precise determines whether or not a kernel patch will be installed or not? | 22:52 |
| tinkster | I really need to understand the why to make up my mind on a how to deal with it | 22:52 |
| ikonia | tinkster what ? | 22:52 |
| holstein | Wulf: im stating, running firefox without taking security updates can be a security risk you should be aware you are making | 22:53 |
| zykotick9 | holstein: +1 | 22:53 |
| Wulf | holstein: yes. But what choice do I have? I need these XHR requests to localhost | 22:53 |
| tinkster | ikonia : 3 days ago I ran aptitude update && aptitude upgrade on 3 servers. apt informed me that the kernel-relevant packages were being held back | 22:53 |
| tinkster | doing the same thing today it wants to install them | 22:54 |
| tinkster | why? | 22:54 |
| holstein | Wulf: as stated, do what you want.. you have information on how to pin.. just know the security risk.. the choice is to use the updated version | 22:54 |
| ikonia | tinkster: possibly dependencies not met at that time | 22:54 |
| zykotick9 | tinkster: you need "aptititude dist-upgrade" to get new kernels | 22:54 |
| ikonia | tinkster: check what repo they came from | 22:54 |
| tinkster | i don't WANT new kernels | 22:54 |
| ikonia | tinkster: then change your policy | 22:54 |

| tinkster | I want to avoid a reboot at this stage | 22:54 |
| ikonia | tinkster: even if you get a new kernel, you don't have to reboot | 22:54 |
| ikonia | tinkster: it's up to you to schedule a reboot | 22:54 |
| tinkster | ikonia - I know | 22:55 |
| holstein | tinkster: you should also be aware of the security risk not taking kernel updates | 22:55 |
| ikonia | tinkster: then why did you just say the exact opposite | 22:55 |
| tinkster | I just don't want to run the risk of the new kernel shafting stuff in the event of an unscheduled reboot | 22:55 |
| daftykins | ^what i was confused at | 22:55 |
| Wulf | maybe I better leave the decision to my boss :) | 22:55 |
| ikonia | tinkster: then change your policy to not take kernel updates | 22:55 |
| * phox shakes head | 22:55 | |
| tinkster | I'd like to understand why it behaved differently three days apart w/o us making any changes to config | 22:56 |
| holstein | tinkster: you might want to think about being "shafted" by an attacker taking advantage of an unpatched kernel | 22:56 |
| ikonia | tinkster: probably dependencies, and/or check the repo they are coming from | 22:56 |
| xangua | (17:54:15) ikonia: tinkster: possibly dependencies not met at that time | 22:56 |
| holstein | tinkster: typically, you are not jumping to new kernel versions in ubuntu.. just patches.security updates | 22:56 |
| holstein | tinkster: not that breakage cant happen.. but, it is well known that vulnerable kernels are.. vulnerable | 22:57 |
| tinkster | thanks xangua - I saw that the first time. and while it's likely true it's not overly helpful :) | 22:57 |
| ikonia | tinkster: how is it not helpful ? | 22:57 |
| ikonia | tinkster: it's just explained your probably likely cause as you did no debugging at the time/have not shared any information that can help us prove it | 22:58 |
| tinkster | holstein : true that. but if e.g. the CVE states that the fix is to avoid a local attach on 60008 CPUs I don't need to patch a bunch of x86_64s | 22:58 |
| tinkster | Thanks ikonia ... I apologise | 22:58 |
| Sidjon | How do all? | 22:59 |
| tinkster | your response would have helped had I asked when the kernel was being held back the first time around | 22:59 |
| Sazpaimon_ | Has anyone used FreeOTFE to mount a LUKS encrypted volume on Windows? I can't seem to get it to work | 22:59 |
| Sidjon | How do all? | 22:59 |
| tinkster | Someone here told me that was default behavious for ubuntu | 22:59 |
| tinkster | I don't know much about ubuntu | 22:59 |
| ikonia | Sazpaimon_: talk to the windows guys ##windows | 22:59 |
| Sidjon | How generally all do? | 22:59 |
| daftykins | Sidjon: stop it. | 23:00 |
| ikonia | Sidjon: can you stop saying that please. | 23:00 |
| Sidjon | whot? | 23:00 |
| holstein | Sidjon: please /join the #ubuntu-offtopic channel for chat | 23:00 |
| ikonia | Sidjon: "how do all" you're just repeating it/variations of it - we saw the first time | 23:00 |
| Sazpaimon_ | ikonia, I've actually asked this question in ##windows every day for the last week. At this point I'm wondering if it's some way I set up the LUKS volume in Ubuntu that's making it not work, hence why I'm asking here | 23:00 |
| reazem | Hi guys! I need a bit of help. I just apt-get installed netbeans. When I boot netbeans I see the splash screen but then nothing. No errors when running from terminal. I tried to reinstall but same thing. Tried to delete .netbeans but didn't help eithier. wat do? | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Sazpaimon_: odd that you only show up once in my logs in the past 3 days and that's 6 minutes ago | 23:01 |
| Sidjon | where answer? | 23:01 |
| ikonia | Sidjon: what ? | 23:01 |
| Sazpaimon_ | ikonia, some of those messages might have gone to ##windows-please-register then | 23:01 |
| holstein | Sidjon: what language do you speak, friend? | 23:02 |
| ikonia | !ru | Sidjon | 23:02 |
| ubottu | Sidjon: Пожалуйста наберите /join #ubuntu-ru для получения помощи на русском языке. | Pozhalujsta naberite /join #ubuntu-ru dlya polucheniya pomoshi na russkom yazyke. | 23:02 |
| Sazpaimon_ | either way, I'm unsure if this is an issue for windows or an issue on how the LUKS volume is created | 23:02 |
| Sazpaimon_ | I'm just unsure at this point if LUKS has changed to the point where FreeOTFE cannot decrypt it, as I've tried using the passphrase, adding a keyfile slot and using that keyfile, and even dumping the master key file and using that | 23:05 |
| Sazpaimon_ | I'm just wondering if anyone has any experience with FreeOTFE and if they had to do anything special with creating their volume to make it work | 23:06 |

| holstein | !ask | breed | 23:12 |
| ubottu | breed: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:12 |
| breed | Sorry about that. I'm just wondering how to run something in xterm from command line | 23:12 |
| zykotick9 | breed: more details still required... | 23:13 |
| breed | I'm not sure how to explain. There's a prefix that you can put on a command in command line that launches xterm, and then executes the command in xterm | 23:13 |
| zykotick9 | breed: "xterm -e foo" | 23:14 |
| breed | I can't remember what that prefix is | 23:14 |
| jrib | breed: man xterm | 23:14 |

| damian_ | hey hey | 23:35 |
| MrLahey | Hey thereI am running Lubuntu 13.04 and can't seem to resolve a monitor issue. I am on a laptop with a 1280x800 display, and connected an external monitor with a 1920x1080 display. On the large external display the lxpanel bar is the width of the screen, but program windows such as Firefox etc are behaving as if they are on the laptop monitor with a 1280x800 resolution-in other words they open as smaller windows in the upper right han | 23:35 |
| MrLahey | d corner of the screen. I have been playing around in arandr but cannot fix it | 23:35 |

| Breetai | I have a samba question about file permissions. So lets say my group is mp3 who do I want to have own the folder in linux? root? nobody? myself? also make a user mp3? | 23:42 |
| zykotick9 | freze: with ONLY 512MB go 32bit... 64bit requires MORE ram then 32bit - to do the same thing. | 23:45 |
| freze | zykotick9: thanks its 512ram vs 512vswap under OpenVZ | 23:49 |
| freze | zykotick9: I'm also guessing the 64bit version takes up more space | 23:49 |
| zykotick9 | freze: doesn't matter, if you have <4GB stick to 32bit | 23:49 |
| freze | thanks | 23:49 |

| derrik | i thought someone could know | 23:54 |
| Pici | detly: if its an installation of Ubuntu, sure. | 23:54 |
| detly | I'm trying to install Ubuntu (Server 13.04) on a Mac Mini 6,1 (2012), but the specifics of the system are tripping me up | 23:55 |
| detly | I've installed Ubuntu and Debian on esoteric systems before, but it's just some of the newer details that I'm unfamiliar with | 23:55 |
| detly | I'm not trying to dual boot or anything, it's going to be a pure Ubuntu machine | 23:56 |
| detly | so my first question is: every site I've read has mentioned refit or refind, but do I actually *need* either of those if I'm not dual booting? | 23:56 |
| qualia | gosh, how do I disable the ALT key grabbing of the system top bar | 23:56 |
| qualia | any idea appreciated please! | 23:56 |

| lduros | hi, I'm running ubuntu on a macbookpro and i increase the applesmc fan1_min and fan2_min to 2300 instead of the 2000 default value to lower the CPU temperature a bit. I was wondering if anyone had a similar experience and how to deal with hot macs running ubuntu | 23:58 |
| qualia | there's the C-M-enter hotkey for VMWare and that prevents me from opening a new terminal in a fresh Xorg install | 23:58 |
