| barbara____ | im using gnome-fallback-session | 00:02 |

| zykotick9 | barbara____: you might want to try the #ubuntu-one channel? | 00:02 |

| barbara____ | but i figured it was an ubuntu issue | 00:02 |
| 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 left han | 00:04 |
| MrLahey | d corner of the screen. I have been playing around with arandr but cannot fix it | 00:04 |
| robin0800 | barbara____, Don't think it will show until you have set it up | 00:05 |
| barbara____ | any idea how i can launch it | 00:05 |
| MercX | MrLahey: are you clonginy our monitors? | 00:05 |
| frinott | MercX: shoot | 00:05 |
| barbara____ | alright im logging in lets see if it goes to the tray | 00:06 |
| zykotick9 | MrLahey: TPBs rules! best of luck with your issue. | 00:06 |
| robin0800 | barbara____, From the menu its in system preferences | 00:06 |
| MercX | frinott: I am getting undefined reference errors, i believe from the X11 library | 00:06 |
| MercX | i just installed all the libs (packages) required by the source code, | 00:07 |
| barbara____ | good news is it's syncing bad news is... still not in the tray | 00:07 |
| MercX | what is a good way to find where these functions? exist | 00:07 |

| detly | huh | 00:10 |

| barbara____ | i did add to panel and ubuntuone isnt a choice | 00:10 |
| MrLahey | MercX I'm not sure if I need to be cloning...I just want it to work fullscreen when I am hooked up to the monitor and work normally on the laptop when not using the external monitor | 00:10 |
| trism | MercX: you need the -llibrary lines at the end after the objects they reference | 00:10 |
| detly | /dev/sda1 is a 0xEE GPT partition, which seems to be right from what I've read (although it's impossible to tell obsolete info from correct info) | 00:11 |

| Guest19355 | how do i find out what kernel version i have ? | 00:20 |

| Anonymous_ | Dover, why do you ask? | 00:27 |
| _andyj_ | Guest19355: when you have the kernel downloaded you need to run make menuconfig and check if it has your ACPI option, if it doesn't you'll need to patch the kernel | 00:27 |
| kroq-gar78 | fOmey shift+pg up/down should let you scroll. ok, try that i guess | 00:27 |

| fOmey | kroq-gar78: i hate giving up on it, but iv spent like 3 hours on it now.. lol my home directory is on another partition any how so its not too bad.. ill jus have to reconfigure my android build enviroment which is going to be a pain | 00:59 |

| jKlaus | If ubuntu is failing constantly.. what OS would you advise? | 01:02 |
| lauratika | jKlaus: what issues you have that ubunut fails | 01:03 |
| jKlaus | issues with my 5400M | 01:03 |
| jKlaus | it'll boot alright one time.. then if I stop moving the mouse for more than a minute the whole thing freezes up | 01:03 |
| lauratika | dual booting? | 01:03 |
| jKlaus | then when i try to reboot it'll just stay at the black screen with the flashing white bar | 01:03 |
| jKlaus | the hdd is split but I'm not bouncing into windows between | 01:04 |
| jKlaus | after X number of attempted restarts eventually it'll load to the UI | 01:04 |
| jKlaus | but then as soon as I stop moving the mouse around it freezes up again | 01:05 |

| breed | Anyone know why Unetbootin won't accept my root password? | 01:12 |
| ZIPY | change to 13.4 | 01:12 |
| jKlaus | then google "linux" and "mount" | 01:12 |
| jKlaus | you'll figure it out | 01:12 |
| jKlaus | Zipy are you telling someone to change to 13.04? | 01:12 |
| breed | Is there something wrong with 13.04? | 01:12 |
| ZIPY | the link | 01:12 |
| jKlaus | I had nothing but trouble with that turd | 01:13 |
| breed | I've had...relatively...little trouble with it | 01:13 |
| robotdevil | ZIPY: so the alternates are only for lts releases? | 01:13 |

| breed | Anyways, does anyone here have experience with Unetbootin? I just installed it and it asks for my root password, but won't accept my root password | 01:14 |
| fellayaboy | how do i merge two folders together using commandline.. say i have 2 User folders..each is located in a different directory how do i move them and merge all files and subfolders together | 01:14 |
| robotdevil | ZIPY: and there is a bug in manual partitioning in the installer in the desktop image | 01:14 |
| failmaster | breed, try gksudo "untebootin" | 01:14 |
| Mace268 | i'm coming from red hat based distros. how much different is ubuntu under the hood? | 01:15 |
| shoosah | do u have any idea how to change sudoers file without root password?! | 01:15 |
| breed | failmaster: that worked. Do I need to do that every time I start it? Do you mind telling me why that worked -- I'm tryna learn bash | 01:15 |
| reisio | Mace268: they all do the same things deep down | 01:15 |
| reisio | shoosah: that would defeat the purpose | 01:15 |
| Mace268 | like is init stuff very similar? | 01:16 |
| zykotick9 | shoosah: obviously, you can't. | 01:16 |
| fellayaboy | Mace269 you'll use ubuntu software center to install programs and basically you'll use sudo apt-get install "a program" to isntall any program from commandline... ubuntu uses .deb isntallation files rather than rpm | 01:16 |
| failmaster | breed, until it works without root privileges - yes | 01:16 |
| reisio | Mace268: depends on when you left red hat | 01:16 |
| Mace268 | still run centos on my game server, and run sme server here at home | 01:16 |
| SonikkuAmerica | Mace268: The basics are still GNU/Linux, but once you hit packaging, things change fast. | 01:16 |
| Marlenee | reisio : the command clean bash only what about clean login and "last" cmd | 01:16 |
| zykotick9 | shoosah: well, there is not root password in ubuntu. but you need sudo (aka root) access. | 01:16 |
| shoosah | I have the admin permission but not the root password, I just modified one of the files in sudoers and now it doesnt work out anymore! | 01:17 |
| failmaster | some common red hat difficults seemed to me way much more tough | 01:17 |
| failmaster | especially packaging-related ) | 01:17 |
| fellayaboy | Mace269 sudo apt-get install gimp will install gimp fromt he repos..meaning that "gimp" is recognized they ahve it on the server and it will isntall it...say you download a .deb and double click that .deb.. you'll get a gui installer.. u could also use sudo dpkg -i "the program" to install a .deb file | 01:17 |
| zykotick9 | shoosah: 9 times out of 10, modifying sudoers is the wrong method anyways. what do you want to acheieve? | 01:17 |
| reisio | Marlenee: what does it matter when people were logged in? | 01:18 |
| kdawg | I TRIED MAKING A MULTI ISO WITH XBOOT however the thing only puts for if the images iun the main image folder | 01:18 |
| reisio | Mace268: http://nakedape.cc/wiki/PackageManagerCheatsheet :) | 01:18 |
| kdawg | and then i find it has another image folder inside the image folder | 01:18 |
| fellayaboy | how do i merge two folders together using commandline.. say i have 2 User folders..each is located in a different directory how do i move them and merge all files and subfolders together | 01:18 |
| shoosah | aykotick9, I do need to change it in order to give the right previlage for installing ceph | 01:18 |
| Mace268 | seems ubuntu is a "have your cake and eat it too" distro :D | 01:18 |
| failmaster | shoosah, maybe you should have start with sudo su and passwd? | 01:18 |
| shoosah | I just entered pkexec visudo | 01:19 |
| === kcristiano_ is now known as kcrist | ||
| kdawg | how would one load the other os if there not in the menu | 01:19 |
| zykotick9 | shoosah: what? that doesn't make much sense. do you have a user that can run sudo? if you, you have "ubuntu's version of root" | 01:19 |
| failmaster | shoosah, root doesn't have password by default, the whole thing was planned to do via sudo | 01:19 |
| shoosah | the root password is simply different from the admin pass! | 01:19 |
| ZIPY | kdawg: u need to update grub: sudo grub-update | 01:20 |
| zykotick9 | s/if you/if so/ | 01:20 |
| zykotick9 | !root | shoosah | 01:20 |
| ubottu | shoosah: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo | 01:20 |
| shoosah | I have two different users on my system | 01:20 |
| failmaster | but nothing stops you from reviving it until you 100% sure that you need it | 01:20 |
| ZIPY | kdawg: it will search for other os' | 01:20 |
| kdawg | i am on a windows 7 machine using xboot to make the image and checking it with QEMU emulator that comes with xboot | 01:20 |
| edgar | i have a question i am trying to connect my laptops harddrive to this laptop via a usb but my laptop cannot install it or see it...anyone knows how to fix | 01:20 |
| kdawg | zippy | 01:20 |
| Mace268 | friendly enough not to be a pita but can still open it up and make it do all the custom stuff. Is this about right? | 01:20 |
| failmaster | shoosah, due to above fact it basically wants you to provide not "root password" in most cases, but the one which is set for common user account in order to grant permissions on sudo execution | 01:21 |
| zykotick9 | shoosah: if you want a 2nd user to use sudo, use the 1st user to add the 2nd to the "sudo" group. don't mess with sudoers. | 01:21 |
| failmaster | that's why they are different | 01:21 |

| kdawg | ja aber nicht so gut | 01:24 |
| Mace268 | is ubuntu just as customizable as any other distro? | 01:24 |
| kdawg | yesh unfortunately it only created menu linux for 4 of them | 01:24 |
| kdawg | ir creates a usb/iso | 01:25 |
| reisio | Mace268: just as open source, so yes | 01:25 |
| kdawg | it* | 01:25 |
| failmaster | hellokitty, i guess that would be a good idea to bring here "dmesg" output, the whole thing | 01:25 |
| ni652336 | does anyone know much about edubuntu? | 01:25 |

| ZIPY | ni652336: its an extension for ubuntu, for educational purposes | 01:25 |
| reisio | zykotick9: Unity is open source, too | 01:26 |
| failmaster | Mace268, there is a system of building from source-packages in debian, so in ubuntu | 01:26 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: yes, but is it very customizable? </ot> | 01:26 |
| reisio | zykotick9: being open source, it's as customizable as people want it to be | 01:26 |
| zykotick9 | reisio: s/people/canonical/ | 01:27 |

| kdawg | are testing Multiboot USB\ISO on vmware,virtualbox, qemu etc. and it didn't boot .Then please do check it | 01:28 |
| kdawg | again on Real PC." might be my problem so going to put it on the usb stick lol | 01:28 |
| ni652336 | use y.u.m.i | 01:28 |
| reisio | zykotick9: it's free software, anyone can modify it any way they like | 01:28 |
| failmaster | Mace268, there is only one remark about using debian-based distros, they have pretty much the same, common and shared bugs and using non-LTS version or not stable in debian terms for servers and production purposes is a bad idea from start | 01:29 |
| kdawg | using xboot cause it can create iso files from other iso files | 01:29 |
| kdawg | SARDU and YUMI cant | 01:29 |
| ni652336 | yumi can for shure | 01:30 |
| Mace268 | non-LTS is ok for desktop installs though right? | 01:30 |
| aashu | hii | 01:30 |
| ni652336 | hey | 01:30 |
| failmaster | Mace268, depends on your courage and ability to fix stuff | 01:30 |

| xmetal | back ... just sent newegg support an email | 01:31 |
| Mace268 | i don't mind getting my hands dirty, i'm just real rusty... been on windows for the last several years. | 01:31 |
| failmaster | Mace268, my subjective perception on things in context of the question is that it will be fine, there is a backup in case of ubuntu, hordes of people, which makes it easier for maintainers to troubleshoot things | 01:32 |
| aashu | lol | 01:32 |
| jmson311 | anyone know how to add a user in bash and get instant access to all of the folders in home/user without having to manually login to the account? | 01:32 |
| failmaster | Mace268, but it applies mostly to desktop-oriented stuff | 01:32 |
| xmetal | i wonder if i should give vlc on a different non-debian distro a shot (will be a pain to get all the dependencies though) | 01:32 |
| Mace268 | makes sense | 01:32 |
| xmetal | have to do them all by hand | 01:32 |
| zykotick9 | jmson311: ahhh, that's the default - read access for everyone? | 01:32 |
| failmaster | Mace268, i came from dark ages of slackware and i'm also too rusty for some modern stuff like gtk3 and network-manager | 01:33 |
| reisio | xmetal: why would it be a pain? | 01:34 |
| jmson311 | if i add the user from the shell and then try to cd into the new users home directory all i can see is examples.desktop, I would like to be able to immediately write field to their Documents /Downloads, etc | 01:34 |

| Mace268 | failmaster, thanks for the infos :) i think i'll get going on it and turn my current windows install into a VirtualBox VM. | 01:36 |
| dr_willis | i allways use adduser. | 01:36 |
| zykotick9 | jmson311: it's not going to help you in your case, but i'd suggest using adduser over useradd myself. | 01:37 |
| failmaster | Mace268, np, at least give it a try, in case of troubles get rid of stuff you're not familiar with, like i do :D | 01:37 |

| najc | i was wondering if anyone might be able to answer a question for me. | 01:39 |

| Mace268 | oh one more thing, how reliable is linux with r/w to ntfs partitions these days? | 01:41 |
| najc | I have a server that multiple users have sftp access to the server. The same server hosts apache, but there are instances where I want apache user to be able to access /home/someuser/ dirs to read/write files. I've tried adding the user to the apache group without luck. | 01:41 |
| iananananan | fOmey: is it significantly different enough from runninga livecd ubuntu and gparted thru that? | 01:41 |
| dr_willis | iananananan: ddrescue to clone it to a file. then try to recover from that file | 01:41 |
| failmaster | Mace268, things got waay much better | 01:41 |
| wilee-nilee | Mace268, fine unless you write to much to windows better to have a shared ntfs partition | 01:42 |

| kdawg | dammit doesn't work at all if i use the xboot image with SARDU | 01:59 |
| kdawg | time to formate the usb again | 02:00 |
| nbros652 | wilee-nilee: that would work, but I need to script the event, and I don't want the screen to "flash" because I'm taking screenshots on regular intervals of a computer running announcements. | 02:00 |
| kdawg | lucky only doing one at a time for now | 02:00 |
| wilee-nilee | nbros652, I figured it was more than a simple image, not sure otherwise myself. | 02:00 |
| nbros652 | wilee-nilee: thanks anyway | 02:01 |
| wilee-nilee | nbros652, My thoughts are though that a bash with a key prompt might work, but that is a guess | 02:01 |
| nbros652 | wilee-nilee: it makes the screen "flash" because it uses the gnome-screenshot program. I can't have the screen "flashing" | 02:02 |
| kdawg | here is a question for you ubuntu bros | 02:02 |
| wilee-nilee | nbros652, Makes sense. | 02:02 |
| kdawg | pros* | 02:02 |
| kdawg | do all ubuntu iso boot from ntfs partitions | 02:03 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, No | 02:03 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, I believe not anyway, an iso will boot from grub though. | 02:03 |
| kdawg | xboot says to make sure all iso are bootable via ntfs partitions | 02:05 |
| kdawg | since its going on an ntfs usb stick | 02:05 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, ntfs with a boot loader right, that's not windows. | 02:05 |
| kdawg | cause the ubuntu image i used before yet it was only one of them | 02:05 |
| kdawg | worked with sardu | 02:06 |
| kdawg | however the image i created with xboot doesn't seem to work at all | 02:06 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, What boot loader does sardu use? | 02:06 |
| kdawg | Xboot use Grub4dos | 02:06 |
| kdawg | let me check SARDU | 02:06 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, I figured as such, so what is the ultimate goal here? | 02:07 |
| kdawg | well ultimate goal is to have all the linux distrobutions in the own menu | 02:07 |
| kdawg | otherwise i'd have like 60 os's in one menu | 02:08 |
| kdawg | gonna try formating the drive again | 02:08 |
| kdawg | and using yumi see if that works | 02:08 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, Just use the multisystem loader as actionparsnip gave you hours ago, your using an app that seems better might be in some situations but the multisystem loader is what I would use. | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, Only loads in linux thoufg. | 02:09 |
| wilee-nilee | though* | 02:09 |
| kdawg | not just linux | 02:09 |
| kdawg | i also will have antivirus recover tools and and everything on it sardu does most of it | 02:10 |
| petey | what exactly does | less do? | 02:10 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, The multisystem runs in linux and boots windows iso's as well | 02:10 |
| petey | if i do a command like ping google.com | less | 02:10 |
| petey | im not following | 02:10 |
| petey | why is it better than just doing ping google.com | 02:10 |
| kdawg | wilee-nilee multisystem loader which one was that | 02:10 |
| DoverMo | petey, it says, test google.com and output it so you can read everything | 02:10 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, From vista up a usb will boot an iso with a ntfs active and the iso exstracted to it anyway. | 02:11 |
| kdawg | I no of 3 programs i have yet to use yumi except for looking at the options | 02:11 |
| ttysteale | petey, that will redirect standard output into the command less, this is best used when reading large files such as logs, it will allow you to read output without having to scroll up a thousand lines, it isn't thate useful for a ping command | 02:11 |
| DoverMo | petey, you only need | less, when you have too much text on the screen at once | 02:11 |
| petey | oh okay | 02:11 |
| petey | that makes better sense | 02:11 |
| petey | thanks ttysteale, DoverMo | 02:11 |
| kdawg | so u saying if i just put the images on the usb dos will not what to boot | 02:11 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, format the usb with grub is all it is a bit picky a fat32 http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 02:12 |
| kdawg | no( | 02:12 |
| kdawg | no* | 02:12 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, Doh not grub gparted. | 02:12 |
| kdawg | fat32 | 02:12 |
| kdawg | has a file size limit | 02:12 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, "so u saying if i just put the images on the usb dos will not what to boot" I do not understand this question. | 02:13 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, I have it on a 32 gig usb, never had a file limit you have iso's more than 4 gigs | 02:13 |
| kdawg | well it sounded like initially stated that how you worded it. All i would need to do is put the iso in the root directory of the usb and it would work. however that makes no size | 02:14 |
| kdawg | well for instance the ubuntu8versions of it is just over 5 gigs | 02:14 |
| curatrix | If you just copy the iso's to a disk it wont boot....you have to use a prog to make a bootable drive with the iso's | 02:14 |
| nbros652 | wilee-nilee: I found an answer to my problem... scrot works just fine. | 02:15 |
| kdawg | yeah there are 3 programs for windows i have found so far none seem to be perfect but the linux tool u mentioned by looking at the instructions seems a lot more complicated | 02:15 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, ah not sure really you would have to see if that is a problem, the app is pretty modern it may have setups to deal with that and the maker is easily accessed via email. | 02:15 |
| wilee-nilee | nbros652, Cool. | 02:16 |
| kdawg | gonna try yumi first cause i am diffinately more comfortable on windows | 02:16 |
| wilee-nilee | kdawg, Yumi will be a problem I guarantee I have used it you will be doing a slow and I mean really slow contigent defraggs often, tha is a the bane of using a windows usb loader when multiloading. | 02:19 |
| wilee-nilee | at least that I found with yumi anyway. | 02:19 |
| xirre | Say you have a program that has limits by applying a parameter as -safe. While in safe, it shouldn't be able to run other programs of itself. However, there's a security flaw that allows it to use a different code to start up another instance of itself in -trusted mode which then gives it 100% privledges. Meaning it can access the root folder, delete it, and format all drives. How do you go about limiting this program to the folde | 02:19 |
| xirre | r its in and only giving it access to that part? | 02:19 |
| kdawg | yeah i am only trying one iso right now since its unlisted anyways | 02:20 |
| jmson311 | I tried all of the different ways to change permissions, and using adducer vs user add, but it still doesn't instantiate all of the appropriate directories for a user.

| wilee-nilee | Runemoro, Cool. | 02:40 |
| Increase | Does anyone know how to make it save? | 02:40 |
| wilee-nilee | Increase, Did you click that option, and how big is the usb, persistent is very limiter as well. | 02:41 |
| wilee-nilee | limited | 02:41 |
| Increase | wilee-niee Yes I pulled the bar all the way to the side. | 02:42 |
| Increase | 8 gigs | 02:42 |
| Runemoro | ilee-nilee, You told Speedfranca that Linux is virus free, but a virus could upload your home folder or delete it | 02:42 |
| wilee-nilee | Increase, you might look here, you can make a whole ext3 a persistent as big as you like by naming it casper-rw, and have the iso in another fast32 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LiveUsbPendrivePersistent | 02:43 |
| Increase | What is an ext3? | 02:43 |
| Increase | Pretty much everything you just said didn't make much sense to me. Llol | 02:43 |
| wilee-nilee | Runemoro, This is an old argument, I'm not going to bother to be honest. | 02:43 |
| wilee-nilee | Increase, ext3 is a partition type used for linux. | 02:44 |
| wilee-nilee | Runemoro,And it was the bot that made that statement to them. | 02:45 |
| DoverMo | Runemoro, indeed it was a bot. And I assume it's more of a community choice to deny the existance of such things | 02:46 |
| wilee-nilee | Increase, THat pendrive only makes a 4 gig persistent you would have to make another partition as I describes to have all of that space used. | 02:47 |

| pvl1 | how do i tell if im running 32 or 64bit | 03:03 |
| goddard | DoverMo: ya for sure | 03:03 |
| alex277 | wulramn hi | 03:03 |
| goddard | DoverMo: unless for some odd reasons I wanna put my system to sleep? | 03:03 |
| Wulframn | pvl1 uname -m iirc | 03:04 |
| goddard | Wulframn: i was gonna try it | 03:04 |
| goddard | ramdisk | 03:04 |
| DoverMo | goddard, well according to this chart I found online, 8gb of swap is what's recommended in that range | 03:04 |
| pvl1 | Wulframn: thanks, shoulda manpaged that. clearly -r wasnt the right flag | 03:04 |

| DoverMo | chiques, so you went from the gnome-themed ubuntu desktop to unity? | 03:07 |
| DoverMo | chiques, unity is slow | 03:07 |
| chiques | DoverMo, Ridiculously slow | 03:08 |
| chiques | DoverMo, I have to reformat and switch back. This makes my machine unusable. | 03:09 |
| DoverMo | chiques, you could install all of the xfce4 stuff | 03:09 |
| DoverMo | chiques, and work from that | 03:09 |

| chiques | DoverMo, That sucks. I really like Ubuntu, it's a bummer they turned Unity into such a hog | 03:12 |
| Runemoro | Why does "ps -er" list only one process? | 03:12 |
| researcher123 | Ubuntu 13.04.Recently ran autoclean,autoremove.But no improvement.PC responds too slowly.HELP? | 03:12 |
| wilee-nilee | researcher123, This hardware is up for the OS, you have checked whatb is running, what apps? | 03:13 |
| DoverMo | chiques, indeed it does. But the best solution is to install a different DE or switch to a spin | 03:13 |
| SparkyFlary | when will the ubuntu phone come out? | 03:13 |

| Azelphur | researcher123: neither of those commands will improve performance, you should be looking at system monitor and seeing what processes are using high amounts of CPU or RAM. | 03:13 |
| researcher123 | wilee-nilee: ALl application open slowly | 03:13 |
| SparkyFlary | ok | 03:13 |
| Azelphur | SparkyFlary: if you've got a compatible device you can try it, I've ran it on my ne...aww. | 03:13 |
| wilee-nilee | researcher123, I asked three questions | 03:13 |
| chiques | DoverMo, Thanks | 03:14 |
| caiyue | hello boys | 03:14 |
| researcher123 | wilee-nilee: Ubuntu 13.04.Browser, Office docs and Files open very slowly. | 03:15 |
| DoverMo | Runemoro, "ps re" was what you were looking for? | 03:16 |
| wilee-nilee | researcher123, Have you checked what is running, do you have a lot open, install htop and run htop in the terminal to check usage. | 03:16 |
| pvl1 | i installed a 32 bit system on a 64 bit processor. can i install 64 on top | 03:16 |
| Runemoro | DoverMo, No, all running processes | 03:17 |
| wilee-nilee | researcher123, Is the computers hardware up for the challenge? | 03:17 |
| DoverMo | Runemoro, "ps -ax" should suffice | 03:17 |
| researcher123 | wilee-nilee: what does it mean?Im quite new | 03:17 |
| wilee-nilee | researcher123, Ubuntu has some minimal hardware requirements, be specific on what you do not understand. ;) | 03:18 |

| Runemoro | researcher123, Whois says you're from Romania, I know Romanian. | 03:22 |

| eph3meral | hi, so I have purchased and pieced together a rig originally intended for gaming though otherwise a fairly standard intel z77 rig (at least so I thought), asrock extreme4 mobo, gtx 680 - however I can't get a USB stick to boot correctly, seems to be a video related issue | 04:16 |

| holstein | nomodeset | eph3meral | 04:16 |
| holstein | !nomodeset | 04:16 |
| ubottu | A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, Black screen blinking cirsor? | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | cursor* | 04:16 |
| ___anon___ | is anybody having trouble installing ubuntu? | 04:16 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, If so follow holstein's bot prompt. | 04:17 |
| ___anon___ | lol | 04:17 |
| holstein | ___anon___: depends on the hardware.. usually no troubles | 04:17 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee, hmm, sort of - it somewhat depends on if I select "USB: Multicard" or "UEFI: PNY FD 2.0", but both cases are close to the same, the screen goes black (or in the former case just shrinks into the top left corner as if the resolution has changed, and I get a bright pink vertical line on the left edge of my screen | 04:17 |
| eph3meral | but otherwise it could probably be described as black with a blinking cursor, yes | 04:18 |
| eph3meral | come to think of it, hitting keys generates control sequences like ^[[a | 04:18 |
| eph3meral | reading link now | 04:18 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, You want uefi or is this a dual with W8 using gpt partitioning in general or the HW needs a uefi? | 04:19 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee, I do have windows 8 but I bought a fully separate physical HD on which to install ubuntu | 04:19 |
| eph3meral | it's on SATA 3.0 6gbps | 04:19 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, Cool, and you understand what uefi is? | 04:19 |
| holstein | !uefi | 04:20 |
| ubottu | UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 04:20 |
| goddard | wilee-nilee: i am using ctrl+alt+ arrow keys | 04:20 |
| eph3meral | roughly, think, it's the fancy new graphics version of "Ye Ol' BIOS" right? | 04:20 |

| ubottu | Launchpad bug 238163 in cryptsetup (Ubuntu) "keyfile doesn't work in initramfs" [Undecided,New] | 04:20 |
| goddard | wilee-nilee: not a huge deal, but I am unsure why my computer is doing something I didn't tell it to | 04:20 |
| wilee-nilee | goddard, Ah so in the OS, not sure. | 04:20 |
| goddard | wilee-nilee: I figured as much oh well | 04:21 |
| wilee-nilee | I use the gnome shell | 04:21 |
| Heet | What's the easiest way to automatically mount a drive on startup? | 04:21 |
| goddard | wilee-nilee: i would gladly switch to gnome shell if they got the Unity top menu | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | !fstab | Heet | 04:22 |
| ubottu | Heet: The /etc/fstab file indicates how drive partitions are to be used or otherwise integrated into the file system. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab and http://www.tuxfiles.org/linuxhelp/fstab.html and !Partitions | 04:22 |
| goddard | every linux user should know about fstab | 04:22 |
| goddard | its pretty handy | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | goddard, Actually the shell has a bunch of cool extensions I think many have not discovered this. | 04:22 |
| Heet | Well, boom, I am now a part of that mass | 04:22 |
| wilee-nilee | welcome to the fold. ;) | 04:23 |
| wilee-nilee | muhahaha | 04:23 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: I noticed one rather significant difference: when I choose "USB: Multicard" as the boot option I get a blue background text interface list with "Default" as the first option and several other install related options… when I choose "UEFI: PNY FD 2.0" as my boot option, I get the familiar grub/lilo boot loading screen but the options are only 4 the first one being "try without installing" and I forget the other 3 | 04:23 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: I don't know if that illuminates anything important regarding which boot option I should be choosing but they both seem to suffer from the same issue ultimately | 04:23 |
| goddard | wilee-nilee: yeah I used gnome shell for awhile and the extensions rock. Some one was workin on the gnome universal menu project but stopped | 04:24 |
| goddard | it worked in like ubuntu 11.xx | 04:24 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, I have only done standard mbr use installs so not sure what is up, other than a nomodeset boot. | 04:24 |

| Ubulost | does anyone know where to set the client password on ubuntu host for network log in? | 04:30 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: hmm, did that, the screen simply flashes once and I still get a blinking cursor | 04:32 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, Not sure than, sorry. ;) | 04:32 |
| dr_willis | Ubulost: clarify what you mean | 04:32 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: what does the -- at the end signify btw? | 04:33 |
| Ubulost | I have to ubuntu VMs on my linux box here and I'm trying to learn to network them. I've gone thru about 15 tutorials. I can see each from the others filemanagers but when I try and access it asks for a password, and none of the tutorials said anything about setting up a password and I'm stumped | 04:34 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, Not sure exactly, but you can remove the quiet splash and see the text and maybe see the problem, you keep the kernel the same with nomodeset just adding it is all. | 04:34 |
| dr_willis | Ubulost: you mean samba shares? | 04:35 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: yeah I get ata8.00: exception Emask …. frozen | 04:35 |
| eph3meral | ata8.00: failed command: IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE | 04:35 |
| eph3meral | I did install a new hard drive | 04:35 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, All I could do is google that but at least it is info. | 04:36 |
| Ubulost | I believe so, but I've tried so many different ways I cant say. Though I did set it up in smb.conf | 04:36 |
| dr_willis | Ubulost: sudo smbpasswd username for samba password s | 04:36 |
| eph3meral | hrm, yeah oh well | 04:36 |

| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, Not sure but there is a #hardware channel if it is in the build maybe | 04:37 |
| dr_willis | Ubulost: for ubuntu tu ubuntu or other linux' its seaier to use ssh or sftp or sshfs not samba | 04:37 |
| Ubulost | dr_willis: been thru samba docs over and over. I think I'm missing something simple. I'll try that again now, though | 04:37 |

| carlzulauf | If I wanted to use the icon at /usr/share/icons/Humanity/apps/64/utilities-terminal.svg in 13.04 for an open source chrome extension, is that alright? | 04:42 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: haha, I was just a bit of a doofus and I had my new drive plugged in the wrong SATA port | 04:43 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: works fine now :) | 04:43 |
| Ubulost | dr_willis: is this correct?> you set user share in smb.conf, then password with smbpasswd? are there other steps? | 04:44 |

| freze | is it because apt-cache is provided by apt | 04:50 |

| eph3meral | also, should swap go at the beginning or end? | 04:50 |
| eph3meral | reisio: ok, I mean it's a 500GB disk and I'm not likely to use more than 50G of that in reality :) | 04:50 |
| reisio | :) | 04:50 |
| eph3meral | smallest I could find at best buy :/ | 04:51 |
| reisio | yeah I hear you | 04:51 |
| reisio | sometimes one needs a cheap drive, and not an expensive data center :p | 04:51 |
| carlzulauf | should have gotten like a 64gb SSD then | 04:51 |
| reisio | they're probably preparing for Windows 9, which will require 500GB to install | 04:51 |
| eph3meral | meh, I plan to do the SSD soon | 04:51 |
| carlzulauf | those are comporable in price to 500GB | 04:51 |
| eph3meral | and when I do I will go all out | 04:51 |
| reisio | let's see, I bought some 2TBs for $100 a piece | 04:52 |
| reisio | so 500GB _should be_ $25 :p but of course that's not how things work, heh | 04:52 |
| carlzulauf | nah, they are like ~$60 i think | 04:52 |
| reisio | demand, etc. | 04:52 |
| carlzulauf | yeah, and there is a floor on how cheap you can make a HDD | 04:52 |
| reisio | lot of manufacturers focus too much on demand and not enough on reliable profit margins | 04:53 |
| reisio | but we digress :p | 04:53 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, I put the swap at the end as I have multiple OS's changing at times keeps the partitions in numerical order if you want to hibernate a slight more than ram is suggested. | 04:53 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, If I actually ever really the swap O might put is closer to the front of the HD. | 04:54 |
| wilee-nilee | I* | 04:54 |
| neo1691 | Hello Folks! | 04:55 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: good point | 04:56 |
| === kb3gtn is now known as kb3gtn|away | ||
| carlzulauf | eph3meral: ubuntu's auto option would make the swap 8GB and at the end of the disk | 04:56 |
| eph3meral | wilee-nilee: does it matter of swap is a primary or a logical drive? | 04:56 |
| carlzulauf | I suspect wilee-nilee told them to | 04:56 |
| eph3meral | does it matter if* | 04:57 |
| carlzulauf | eph3meral: no | 04:57 |
| derrik | is sda3 = hd0,2 in grub? | 04:57 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, Since I multiboot with W8 I have it in a primary, it has no boot partition, and all the linux in an extended. | 04:58 |
| reisio | derrik: nope | 04:58 |
| derrik | then what it is? | 04:58 |
| reisio | derrik: >=GRUB2 counts devices from 0 and partitions from 1 | 04:58 |
| reisio | do not ask | 04:58 |
| reisio | me why | 04:58 |
| derrik | so its hd0,3? | 04:59 |
| reisio | right | 04:59 |
| reisio | neo1691: hi | 04:59 |
| derrik | thanks | 04:59 |
| reisio | and then there's swap _files_ | 04:59 |
| reisio | sometimes it can be really handy to have a disposable few-gig partition though | 05:00 |
| reisio | you can use it for all sorts of things | 05:00 |
| eph3meral | well, screw it, I went with 10GB on my swap just cuz I know 8G is like more than 8000MB technically I thin, so in order to be safe in possible hibernation, screw it | 05:00 |
| reisio | dump in a rescue OS, copying & resizing | 05:00 |
| eph3meral | I won't miss it | 05:00 |
| reisio | eph3meral: heh | 05:00 |
| reisio | I'm pretty sure the hibernation will not explode if it's a few megs short :) | 05:01 |
| eph3meral | werd | 05:01 |
| reisio | but nor will your disk with a few extra gigs of swap :p | 05:01 |
| eph3meral | but JUST in case | 05:01 |
| wilee-nilee | eph3meral, Heh, live real. ;) | 05:01 |

| eph3meral | yeah, gotta keep my teeth sharp ya know | 05:03 |
| dr_willis | vs my ram is all used up with nothink loaded | 05:03 |
| eph3meral | I bought a mac because they are perfect, Apple is perfect! | 05:03 |

| dr_willis | with a ssd hard drive and 10 sec boot times. i dont hibernate | 05:04 |
| wilee-nilee | same here | 05:04 |
| reisio | why do you even reboot? :p | 05:04 |
| wilee-nilee | just for the rush | 05:04 |
| reisio | heheheh | 05:04 |
| eph3meral | if only, if only, I could open all the same programs that were open before, with all the same windows on all of the same of my 15 desktops | 05:04 |
| eph3meral | then life would be good | 05:04 |
| eph3meral | and I wouldn't need hibernate | 05:04 |
| reisio | VNC | 05:04 |
| eph3meral | hmm, fair point | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | session managers. | 05:05 |
| eph3meral | dr_willis: that's about as big of a joke as compiz | 05:05 |
| dr_willis | Don't see them used much any moar | 05:05 |
| freze | what happens if the directory is set as read and execute and the file as read only for the group? | 05:05 |
| eph3meral | nice idea though | 05:05 |
| freze | can the group execute the file? | 05:06 |
| baumy | I just setup msmtp with my university's mail server, and it's appearing to successfully execute (I'm returned to a shell with no error), but email isn't being sent. I have no idea how to debug this, help? | 05:07 |
| eph3meral | well holy nuck farts, I think it worked | 05:07 |
| eph3meral | now for the updates :/ | 05:07 |
| eph3meral | and to get rid of unity (*shudder*) | 05:07 |
| wilee-nilee | "unity makes the world prettier" hippie quote | 05:09 |
| Mace268 | Any ideas how I might tell why my install is stuck on configuring hardware? The skip button has no effect either. | 05:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Mace268, This a dualboot using the slider? | 05:10 |
| eph3meral | is sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop the way to go for xfce? | 05:10 |
| Mace268 | No fresh install on an ssd drive... | 05:11 |
| eph3meral | (I'm an XFCE guy… it's pretty much GNOME2 without as many bugs) | 05:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Mace268, Did you tick the update box? | 05:11 |
| eph3meral | I can't remember, I had some issues wherein XFCE was installed, but none of the icons :/ | 05:11 |
| Mace268 | Yes | 05:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Mace268, Stuck or just running long? | 05:11 |
| wilee-nilee | Mace268, What release? | 05:12 |
| Mace268 | Well the system is responding still but the dropdown says the last activity was an ipv6 config timeout. | 05:12 |
| Mace268 | 12.04.2 | 05:13 |
| wilee-nilee | Mace268, That would be a bit if update if you did not get the daily, my guess is that. | 05:13 |
| wilee-nilee | of* | 05:13 |
| Mace268 | I had to start the install with nomodeset because the gpu was locking | 05:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Mace268, This computer up for the task hardware wise? | 05:14 |
| Mace268 | I checked my nic activity | 05:14 |
| Mace268 | Yes for sure | 05:14 |
| Mace268 | The drm was locking up on my gtx580 | 05:15 |
| wilee-nilee | Mace268, It's up to you on what to do really since it is an install. I suspect a long update load, depends on the net speed the other comments I would not know. | 05:16 |
| Mace268 | Thanks I'll give it a while longer | 05:16 |

| AcidRain2012 | RingingEars, pictures. doesnt need to be a complex encryption. im protecting from junkies. not hackers | 05:40 |
| RingingEars | Truecrypt can make a contained, like a folder, that you can put them in. | 05:41 |

| kdawg | going to try this with ubuntu live cd http://www.pendrivelinux.com/multiboot-create-a-multiboot-usb-from-linux/ | 06:40 |
| kdawg | hopefully its not a huge headache | 06:40 |
| z8z | are there full set of dvd iso of the whole ubuntu packages repos like Debian has? | 06:45 |
| kdawg | z8z what you mean? | 06:46 |
| kdawg | like multiple version of the same os on one dvd? | 06:46 |
| z8z | ubuntu has at most the dvd installation which contains most popular packages | 06:46 |
| z8z | Debian has 10 DVD which contains all the packages of any standard repos | 06:47 |
| kdawg | you looking at deploring these were there is no network connection? | 06:47 |
| z8z | yep | 06:48 |
| z8z | but i need to make sure i have everything with me | 06:48 |
| z8z | any possible package | 06:48 |
| kdawg | oic | 06:49 |
| kdawg | wow i think that extremely hard to do | 06:49 |
| kdawg | but someone in here might no a better answer | 06:49 |
| kdawg | but if you can point me in the right direction for this debian copy | 06:49 |
| kdawg | i don't see it on debian.org | 06:50 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: you could sync the repo and create a local repo | 06:50 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: apt-mirror | 06:50 |
| Augurnz | Is there a way to process a text lof file with the "sed" command if the text to replace with contains an "&" ampersand symbol? | 06:50 |
| Augurnz | log^ | 06:50 |
| kari | more info! now when i actually installed flash straight from clicking the link (middle of black flash screen) , in the middle of installing i get flash video to work, but when the install is complete. Video will vanish. Not so good way to watch videos | 06:50 |
| iceroot_ | Augurnz: what should be the problem there? dont understand the question | 06:50 |
| z8z | yeah i know that. I just wanted to know if dvd iso exist | 06:51 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: not will all packages | 06:51 |
| Augurnz | iceroot: the ampersand is reserved for something in sed | 06:51 |
| iceroot_ | Augurnz: escape it | 06:51 |
| iceroot_ | Augurnz: see also #sed | 06:51 |
| Augurnz | thanks iceroot | 06:51 |
| z8z | iceroot_: sad :( | 06:52 |
| iceroot_ | Augurnz: i guess it would be s/he\&llo/hello/ | 06:52 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: normally there is no need | 06:52 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: and you can use apt-mirror | 06:52 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: the dvd will contain old packages after some days and then you have security issues and so on | 06:52 |
| Augurnz | iceroot: yeah, I should have thought of that, been trying for a while now | 06:52 |
| dr_willis | apt-cacher-ng is a handy tool also z8z | 06:52 |
| z8z | iceroot_: so with apt-mirror i can create a folder full with packages and carry around right? | 06:53 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: yes | 06:53 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: it will create a local repository | 06:53 |
| kdawg | looks like the debian package your were selecting if you buy the cd from on of the venders | 06:54 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: you can add it then in your /etc/apt/sources.list | 06:54 |
| z8z | iceroot_: cool...so i'd better try that | 06:54 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: but it may be something like 50GB | 06:55 |
| z8z | iceroot_: yeah i'm expecting something like that :D | 06:55 |
| z8z | iceroot_: sorry to annoy you but i have last question that i always asked myself... is there a way to download all the sources of every package at the same time? | 06:56 |
| dr_willis | there are source repos | 06:57 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: you mean the source packages? | 06:57 |
| z8z | iceroot_: yeah ... how those works? | 06:58 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: i guess "sudo apt-get source *" | 06:58 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: it will not work with normal packages because of conflicts | 06:58 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: but with sources packages it should work | 06:58 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: maybe bash will not execute it because of "too many arguments" | 06:58 |
| z8z | iceroot_: lol | 06:58 |
| z8z | iceroot_: ok so i'll give a try to that too thanks | 06:59 |
| iceroot_ | z8z: but you really mean source package? it is something different then a *.deb package | 06:59 |
| z8z | iceroot_: yeah i mean that | 06:59 |

| Corey | Yes. | 07:36 |
| Gold267 | I'm trying to do it and it is just doesn't boot after ubuntu installation | 07:37 |
| Gold267 | Grub rescue, that's what I get | 07:37 |
| Gold267 | Started installer in a rescue mode, and trying to set /dev/md127 as a root file system | 07:38 |
| Gold267 | it says "Error occurred while mounting the device" | 07:38 |
| Gold267 | anybody has any ideas? | 07:39 |
| Gold267 | wthell... | 07:39 |
| Gold267 | if I mount separate partition as a /boot - does this mean that it is gonna contain all the required files needed to boot ubuntu? | 07:41 |

| gordonjcp | Gold267: well, *kind of* | 07:41 |
| Gold267 | what is that for | 07:41 |
| gordonjcp | Gold267: it has the kernels and initial ramdisk, sufficient to get the OS started to the point where you can begin to fiddle about with disks, RAID arrays, networking and so on | 07:42 |
| Gold267 | I'm thinking of mapping /boot to the separate partition that is not on raid | 07:42 |
| Gold267 | what do you think is it gonna work? | 07:42 |
| Gold267 | so can I map /boot and / to separate partitions on a hard drive? | 07:45 |
| gordonjcp | Gold267: yes, although you don't need to | 07:45 |

| reisio | skippy_: it means see if the letter 'd' is the first character of any lines grep is fed | 08:35 |
| llutz | skippy_: homeworks time? | 08:36 |
| reisio | skippy_: ^ means the beginning, $ the end, in that context | 08:36 |

| xeonix | reisio, thanks, but, I am not having any issue with the sound. I just want to switch the sound to headphones, whenever I connect the headphones to my laptop. Not both speaker and headphones. | 08:43 |
| christos_ | anyone know about programming>? | 08:44 |
| reisio | skippy_: it means output the contents of the file login.defs without comments (they tend to start with # chars) | 08:44 |
| llutz | freze: uid=1000 usually is the primary user you created at installation time, which in fact is sudo-user | 08:44 |
| mJayk | christos_: wrong channel | 08:44 |
| kdawg | for some on reason i can boot to ubuntu live cd, get some [56123.12245][drm] nousie errer says something to do with updating channel or soemthing | 08:44 |

| reisio | skippy_: and then number what's left | 08:44 |
| ActionParsnip | christos_: try ##programming | 08:44 |

| ActionParsnip | xeonix: and what is teh sound issue? | 08:53 |
| ActionParsnip | freze: yes | 08:54 |

| xeonix | ActionParsnip, the is no sound issue, i want the sound should shift to only headphones when ever I connect headphones, but when even if I connect headphones, the sound appers to be on both headphones and laptop speakers, I had to mannually do a alsamixer command and remove speaker sound to 0 | 08:56 |

| kdawg | peace booting back to live cd see if i can get it to work with nomodeset | 08:57 |
| llutz | skippy_: no, grep ^$ is "all lines starting with newline (aka empty lines) | 08:57 |
| skippy_ | What about grep^# | 08:58 |
| llutz | skippy_: man grep | 08:58 |
| skippy_ | Huh? | 08:58 |
| llutz | skippy_: read the man-page | 08:59 |

| llutz | skippy_: as you've been told, yes | 09:03 |
| reisio | skippy_: yes, unless you add -v | 09:04 |
| reisio | then it means don't show them | 09:04 |
| skippy_ | I understand | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | xeonix: yes, the model and the position_fix one | 09:04 |
| llutz | skippy_: read the man-page to see what are special characters/what aren't and what the options do | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | xeonix: those are TWO module options, so both makes sense...right? | 09:04 |

| ActionParsnip | xeonix: one, then the other, then both | 09:12 |

| purezen | Here's my dmesg output and gnome-ppp log.. http://pastebin.com/r0ww8NGQ | 09:41 |
| purezen | ActionParsnip, Can I just ask why in usb-modeswitch..? Because the modem does not work even after being detected.. | 09:42 |
| purezen | ActionParsnip, This shall mean that something besides is at fault as well.. because usb-modeswitch is only responsible for getting the modem detected.. Am I right..? | 09:43 |
| purezen | ActionParsnip, Just curious..:-) | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | purezen: then the kernel I guess, the device is a USB storage first because Windows users have issues installing drivers (apparently), so once the driver installs the OS flips it to a serial modem (which arent new in any way) | 09:45 |
| ActionParsnip | purezen: so either the device isnt getting flipped, or the modem is not correctly detected after the flip | 09:46 |

| tgary | Hi! First I've installed ubuntu, but later put up the kde packages, and use kde. How can I update all file associations? (Like pressing enter to a jpg in mc open gwenview and not feh; double clicking a pdf in Eclipse open okular and not evince, etc.) | 10:26 |
| Lope | Supaplex. no I want to create a truecrypt file thats all. I don't want to mount it yet. | 10:27 |
| ath1 | after booting ubuntu for installation on an old laptop I get a garbled screen. Is there a boot parameter to force vesa mode? | 10:28 |
| Supaplex | Lope: I don't have that installed (I use luks myself). sorry :) | 10:28 |
| Lope | what is luks? | 10:28 |
| BluesKaj | tgary, are you choosing the kde desktop at login or have you merely installed some kde pacjages | 10:28 |
| ActionParsnip | tgary: right click file -> open with then select the app and that the association should be remembered | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | !luks | 10:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Lope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Unified_Key_Setup | 10:29 |
| tgary | BluesKaj, ActionParsnip: I logged in to KDE. I thought about an "automatic file association change". I.e. mc has its own file extensoin editor; Eclipse has a "System editor" option, but I don't know where it finds out exactly the programs to be opened. | 10:31 |
| Joliekitten | hey | 10:32 |
| tgary | BluesKaj, ActionParsnip: I think in a basic kubuntu install mc would open gwenview, okular, and the same for Eclipse, etc. (KDE programs like dolphin, etc. opens the right file.) | 10:32 |

| Landswellsong | Guys, a quick question. I want to use Ubuntu Mono font in a LaTeX presentation, but its metadata is broken and fontspec fails to load it. Is there a newer version of the font anywhere? I tried the development page, but it's so complicated there. | 10:36 |

| Lope | why is this creating a 0 bytes file? (I want a 20GB file) sudo dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/foo.test bs=1 count=0 seek=20G (I also tried 20000M and still got a 0 byte file) | 10:41 |
| Landswellsong | Lope, because count=0? | 10:42 |
| ActionParsnip | !ppa | Landswellsong | 10:42 |
| ubottu | Landswellsong: A Personal Package Archive (PPA) can provide alternate software not normally available in the offical Ubuntu repositories - Looking for a PPA? See https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+ppas - WARNING: PPAs are unsupported third-party packages, and you use them at your own risk. See also !addppa and !ppa-purge | 10:42 |
| Lope | I copied that command off a website | 10:42 |
| Lope | Landswellsong: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Tcplay | 10:43 |
| BluesKaj | tgary, for example if you wat to open a music file then choose open with "other" then choose the player (amarok for example) in the multimedia menu , and check the "Remember app association" box. | 10:43 |
| Landswellsong | Lope, this doesn't make it correct, does it? :D 2GB times 0 would be 0. | 10:43 |
| Lope | okay well now I just tried as a test, count=1G (and left out seek) | 10:44 |
| Landswellsong | Lope, however it does work at my setup at least with 2M | 10:44 |
| Landswellsong | Lope, probably your FS automagically handles sparse files? | 10:44 |
| Supaplex | Lope: try skip= instead of seek= | 10:45 |
| Lope | I'm using LVM | 10:45 |
| Lope | lol I tried count=1G and left out seek. the file size looped up to 10MB and reset itself over and over. was weird. | 10:45 |
| Lope | killed it | 10:45 |
| tgary | BluesKaj: mc has a spec. extension editor, there is no other...use always... as in e.g. a browser. Same for Eclipse: spec editor. I "think" it reads these default apps from somewhere, and would be nice to update all apps to "kde apps" instead of "gnome apps" (not jus these two). | 10:47 |
| Lope | found a better command: fallocate -l 10G gentoo_root.img | 10:47 |
| Alphanerd | http://i.imgur.com/5m7Yrd3.jpg | 10:47 |
| Landswellsong | Lope, what filesystem are you using? If you use count, you would actually copy bytes from /dev/zero. I'm sorry I was misleading, your command was ok since it would just produce a sparce file, not copyin from /dev/zero but just declaring filesize, but the filesystem layer may optimize that out. | 10:47 |
| Alphanerd | anyone know who is this ? | 10:47 |
| ikonia | Alphanerd: why post that ? | 10:47 |
| BluesKaj | tgary, mc? | 10:47 |
| ikonia | Alphanerd: this is #ubuntu - an ubuntu support channel | 10:47 |

| Ultimate4 | Hello there. I was upgrading from ubuntu 11.10 to ubuntu 12.04 LTS via Update Manager. At the instant when updates were being downloaded(probably 1.2 GB were downloaded and 200 MB more to go), my pc shut down because of electricity fluctation. Can i resume the upgrade from the point where i left earlier? | 11:26 |
| cfhowlett | Ultimate4, not adviseable | 11:26 |
| cfhowlett | Ultimate4, best practice is to torrent the 12.04 ISO, make a boot usb and clean install | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Ultimate4: could drop to root recovery mode and run: sudo apt-get -f install | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | Ultimate4: if its only the download stage then you should be ok | 11:27 |
| cfhowlett | Ultimate4, best to assume the aborted upgrade is fragged but you could try it. expect unforeseen consequences | 11:27 |
| ActionParsnip | cfhowlett: its only the download stage, not install | 11:27 |
| Ultimate4 | ActionParsnip: Yes, it was only in download stage and it wasn't even completed. I am sure about that. | 11:28 |
| cfhowlett | ActionParsnip, noted. I figure scrambled packages are the order , but it is his machine ... | 11:28 |
| BluesKaj | ActionParsnip, I do use the cli quite a lot , and do use the arrow keys to find previous commands, but I mostly use a text file for a lot of those commands .What is the path for bash history ? | 11:31 |
| llutz | BluesKaj: "history" command, or ~/.bash_history file | 11:32 |
| === linuxuz3r_ is now known as linuxuz3r | ||
| ActionParsnip | Ultimate4: try: sudo apt-get -f install so you know packages are square then rerun the upgrade like you did before | 11:34 |
| ActionParsnip | BluesKaj: you can also pipe history to grep to search for old commands | 11:35 |
| Ultimate4 | ActionParsnip: Can i run this command in normal user mode or should i reboot my PC and enter into recovery mode? | 11:35 |
| ActionParsnip | Ultimate4: try on the normal desktop | 11:35 |
| chalu | I recently installed the new ubuntu 13 in a new partition, because my previous wubi installation failed to boot after I adjusted my windows 7 partiton. Now I need to retrieve my files from the old wubi-based installation. any hints where wubi kept my files ?? | 11:36 |
| ActionParsnip | chalu: why do you not have a backup of the files? | 11:36 |
| BluesKaj | yeah ActionParsnip , I keep a text file with categories that use certain commands as a quick reference guide and have done so a for quite a few yrs now | 11:37 |
| chalu | I have some, but there are some I forgot to backup. I did not know the wubi installation will fail to boot | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | chalu: if you mount your NTFS, you can then mount the wubi disk file and access the data | 11:37 |
| ActionParsnip | chalu: I suggest you review your backup regime, it is clearly not fit for purpose | 11:38 |
| cfhowlett | chalu, wubi has a documented history of being suboptimal. you might want to do a normal dual boot or consider virtualbox for ubuntu | 11:38 |
| BluesKaj | he already has done | 11:39 |
| chalu | yes, I installed gparted and could eventually see the partitions. Its all in a single HDD, but I could not see the files | 11:39 |
| MonkeyDust | chalu wubi is a windows application, it's not a real ubuntu installation | 11:39 |
| chalu | ok, if wubi is a windows application, then it certainly keeps my ubuntu-based files somewhere | 11:40 |

| chalu | sorry am very new to ubuntu | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | gp5st: is the log file not readable by user? | 11:42 |
| chalu | ok. so if I boot into windows and locate the wubi installation folder, how do I proceed from there pls? | 11:42 |
| ActionParsnip | chalu: in the wubi.dsk or root.dsk file. I forget which | 11:43 |
| gp5st | ActionParsnip: It's an apache access log, so no, it's not | 11:43 |
| chalu | ok, | 11:43 |
| chalu | thanks a lot | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | chalu: the files are in the wubi folder in the root of your windows partition | 11:43 |
| chalu | let me try it | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gp5st: just checkin | 11:43 |
| ActionParsnip | gp5st: why not use: sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/example.com/access.log | egrep -v 'favicon.ico|zite.com' | 11:44 |
| chalu | ok, I just saw a root.disk file that is about 32GB, guess thats the file ? | 11:45 |
| gp5st | ActionParsnip: ::shrug:: didn't think about it. I normally build up a command at a time. Still a confusing problem:-\ | 11:45 |

| gp5st | llutz: i'll check that | 11:50 |
| chalu | ok, thanks frinott. I've mounted the windows partition already. I guess lo-mount root.disk is a command meant for my terminal ? | 11:51 |
| gp5st | llutz: cool, that worked:) | 11:51 |
| llutz | gp5st: common problem, programs buffer output and don't write byte by byte immediately. that's why grep fails then | 11:53 |

| chalu | frinott, I got a no such file or directory error on the console. So I cd into media/Acer/ubuntu/disks and did ls and saw the root.disk file there | 12:03 |

| frinott | chalu: use full paths, and dont use /opt, create something in your home folder | 12:04 |
| zetheroo1 | does anyone have experience with Nconf? I am trying to get the changes I made in Nconf to be reflected in the web interface of icinga .... | 12:05 |
| DJones | chalu: Not sure if that was a typo, you've got rook.disk rather than root.disk | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | chalu: did you cd to the containing folder first? | 12:05 |
| ActionParsnip | chalu: use TAB to autocomplete file names | 12:05 |
| chalu | yes, am inside media/Acer/ubuntu/disks which contains the root.disk file | 12:06 |
| ActionParsnip | chalu: sudo mkdir /media/wubi; sudo mount -o loop ./root.disk /media/wubi | 12:06 |

Is there any way to resolve these messages so I get alerted for real suspicious activities and not just normal operation? | 13:58 |

| ziaa | hi everyone, i'm having a firewall problem; i'm trying to only allow connections to and from my vpn; so i set ufw default deny for both incoming and outgoing, and then added four rules (one by one): sudo ufw allow (in|out) (to|from) VPN_IP, but when i do that, i cannot surf anymore. i can ping VPN_IP, but not google.fr; my VPN is connected with network-manager with openvpn | 14:00 |

| myou | I'm using usb to hdmi adapter with the kernel 3.10. it works quite well. the problem is that every time I suspend the machine. | 15:16 |
| myou | the output name changes | 15:16 |
| myou | DVI-0 then DVI-1 then DVI-2 and so on | 15:16 |
| reisio | http://askubuntu.com/questions/95693/does-ubuntu-support-3d-monitors | 15:16 |
| myou | does anybody know how to fix this? Is it possible to add a udev rule to pin the output name? | 15:17 |
| reisio | myou: if it's a /dev thingy, probably | 15:17 |
| myou | I'm using kernel 3.10 | 15:17 |
| myou | it supports displaylink | 15:17 |
| myou | it works actually | 15:17 |
| myou | the problem is that the name of the output changes | 15:17 |
| reisio | you said | 15:18 |
| myou | so it is an udev problem I geuss | 15:18 |
| myou | guess | 15:18 |
| reisio | quite possibly | 15:18 |
| myou | which channel should I ask? the guys from udev pointed me here, actually their channel message did | 15:19 |

| MotherMGA | Hello, I have a weird issue with the character encoding and display of special characters in gnome-terminal. Basically, special characters are rendering a square with the utf-8 code in it, rather than not displaying at all. This is important because readline uses special characters \001 and \002 to block of untracked characters for prompt analysis. This only occurs in gnome-terminal; xterm is fine. Also, running screen inside gnome | 15:19 |
| reisio | myou: where do you see the 'output name'? | 15:19 |
| myou | xrandr | 15:20 |
| mjayk | Boogery: i wouldnt use root | 15:20 |
| myou | xrandr | grep ' connected' | grep DVI | 15:20 |
| myou | this oututs the display name | 15:20 |

| Boogery | mjayk: kind of my thought. all the examples I see show root creating some foldes someplace like mkdir /var/mp3 but using root seems like a very BAD idea. But is noboby just as bada? | 15:21 |
| myou | all my window manager rules then get broken | 15:21 |
| reisio | myou: and then you run some command to fix it? | 15:22 |
| columb | auronandace, could you confirm that you run photoshop under wine without issues? | 15:22 |
| myou | right now I run a script that changes the i3 configuration and restarts the window manager | 15:22 |
| compdoc | columb, I have a friend that uses illustrator with wine. its been a while, but he said a few things like certain dialog boxes had minor issues, but they might have fixed that stuff by now. | 15:22 |
| auronandace | columb: i don't run photoshop at all, try asking in #winehq | 15:22 |
| myou | it works but is quirky | 15:22 |
| mjayk | Boogery: ok so maybe yes you use root to create the dir then you assin a user read only or read write permissions using chmod | 15:22 |
| reisio | columb: works fine in a VM for certain | 15:22 |
| myou | I was hoping to solve the problem with a udev rule | 15:22 |
| reisio | columb: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=17 lists several platinum ratings, which means perfection | 15:22 |
| myou | and was wondering if it was possible | 15:22 |
| Boogery | mjayk: but what user? I am doing Active Directory. So my group will be an AD group. is any normal id good? ie use my user account or the nobody account. I am not sure nobody is beeter to use than root. from a security stand point. | 15:24 |
| mjayk | Boogery: I would usually create an account for the purpose | 15:24 |
| mjayk | Boogery: but its always a trade of from usablility to security | 15:25 |
| Boogery | mjayk: I was thinking "smbuser" fos an account name. But yes, it is one more account to be hacked | 15:26 |
| Boogery | mjayk: thanks for the help. I think smbuser with no shell access will do the job. | 15:27 |

| Mace268 | how do i get ubuntu to generate /dev entries for partitions on my drives? fdisk shows the partitions but they're not listed in /dev | 15:29 |
| myou | That enables the user to execute the script when the monitor is connected. My monitor stays connected always. The problem is that the name changes every time I resume from suspension. Thank you for your time. | 15:29 |

| Mace268 | with any method, is there a partition rescue for ubuntu? | 15:33 |
| raub | Possibly; it depends on how brave you feel like | 15:33 |
| Mace268 | or should i boot with my acronis disk manager | 15:34 |
| raub | Rule 1 is make an iso of the disk and then work on it | 15:34 |
| Mace268 | ok | 15:34 |
| raub | So to avoid making it any worse | 15:34 |
| reisio | Mace268: partition? No, but IIRC it installs by default with a rescue _mode_ (that is, boot options) | 15:35 |
| raub | Then you can start light and throw fsck at it. ext4/3/jfs? | 15:35 |
| Mace268 | ntfs :S | 15:36 |
| napsc | Mace268: did you run sudo with fdisk? | 15:37 |
| Mace268 | yes | 15:37 |
| Mace268 | i just looked and i do have a current backup of the data on that partition. probably just as easy to repartition and restore. | 15:38 |

| AlHafoudh | hi all | 16:22 |
| sudarshan | then you can change the file permissions using "chmod 777 *.*" for changing all permission to accessible to all | 16:22 |
| ActionParsnip | !danger | 16:22 |
| ubottu | DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! | 16:23 |
| AlHafoudh | i have disable ipv6, I see no ipv6 address on my ethX, but curl, wget and apt still want to access DNS hostname by their IPv6 addresses, what is wrong? what did I forget? | 16:23 |
| llutz | sudarshan: don't suggest chmod 777, its nonsense in most cases | 16:23 |
| sudarshan | ok then what is preferable? | 16:23 |
| sudarshan | instead of 777 | 16:23 |
| llutz | sudarshan: depends on the situation, keep it as restricted as possible | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | AlHafoudh: have you added the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 | 16:23 |
| ActionParsnip | sudarshan: using correct groups and access | 16:24 |
| raub | sudarshan: least access | 16:24 |
| ActionParsnip | sudarshan: 777 is not suitable for 99.9999999999999% of what people suggest it for and you can break OSes and/or make them unsecure | 16:24 |
| sudarshan | sometimes *.js files becomes not accessible by apache webserver. | 16:24 |
| sudarshan | ok sorry dont use chmod 777 even I also will stop using it. | 16:25 |
| ActionParsnip | sudarshan: it is especially bad for public facing services like apache. Yeah give EVERYBODY full access.... think about it | 16:25 |
| raub | Then make sure the files are either owned by the apache group (www-data?) or www-data is part of the other group | 16:25 |
| llutz | sudarshan: webserver runs as www-data/www-data, so just make sure that user/group can _read_ your files | 16:25 |
| llutz | sudarshan: no need to give write-access etc.pp | 16:25 |
| raub | You are not running WinXP | 16:25 |
| sudarshan | can anyone suggest me some good place where to get reference of all this. | 16:26 |
| foreverphysics | Here's a question: I help run a website completely run by an Ubuntu server | 16:26 |

| javier_ | hi. I need to install windows 7 aside of ubuntu. I have a prepared partition for that in nfts format, but when I start the installation dvd, it says there is no suitable partition where to install windows. Which are the requirements of the partition that I might be missing? Thanks!!! | 16:36 |
| daftykins | javier_: you can't do it like that, Windows likes to have two partitions (a 100MB one prior to the C:) so just let it create them in empty space itself | 16:37 |
| Lope | Basically I want some general purpose storage space on my PC that is encrypted. I run windows VM's I want to give them access to some of the dirs (via samba shares) | 16:37 |
| === ese is now known as Rope | ||
| === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman | ||
| ActionParsnip | javier_: leave unpartitioned space, it'll be ok. Not sure how this is Ubuntu related as you are installing WIndows | 16:38 |
| javier_ | daftykins, so, I should just delete the partition (using gparted for instance) and tell the installer to use the free space... | 16:38 |
| javier_ | ActionParsnip, I'm sorry, I thought was the right place to ask about it. My apologies | 16:39 |
| javier_ | daftykins, thanks! | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | javier_: try in ##windows | 16:39 |
| javier_ | ActionParsnip, thanks for the advise, won't happen again | 16:39 |
| ActionParsnip | javier_: if you already have Ubutnu installed, you will need to put grub on the MBR as the Windows installer will blindly overwrite it | 16:39 |
| sudarshan | javier_: before doing so just install boot repair in ubuntu. As after installing windows ubuntu will not work. You will have to use boor repair from live usb. | 16:40 |
| javier_ | sudarshan, thanks! I was counting on that from my previous experience :) but thanks for the advise! | 16:40 |
| sudarshan | creating live usb installing boot repair into it and replacing grub using boot repair is the easy way. | 16:41 |

| wilee-nilee | ActionParsnip, If you install in a free space windows will make 2 partitions 1 a boot, be sure to not go past the limitations of primaries and make that disk dynamic, a pre-formatted ntfs with a manual install to it will cut out the boot partition. | 16:42 |

| rebar | the partition is unallocated | 16:55 |
| reisio | rebar: the something else implies "manual" partitioning, which amounts to saying where you want / and swap to be, basically | 16:56 |

| daftykins | rebar: yep make a / (root) partition of ext4 | 16:58 |
| reisio | rebar: you'll see something like http://radu.cotescu.com/uploads/wpuploads/2009/06/Ubuntu-partitions.png | 16:58 |
| reisio | rebar: one will be ntfs already, that's your Windows' storage partition, leave that alone | 16:58 |
| reisio | rebar: and make two new ones, one ext4 with Used set to '/' (root), and one swap | 16:58 |
| reisio | and any others you might want | 16:59 |
| rebar | making the swap partition now, what type should it be? ,primary, logical and beginning of this space or end of this space | 17:02 |

| Scriptonaut | I did this yesterday | 17:19 |
| anildigital | Anyone know how to acceess iPhone 5 photos from Ubuntu 12.10 | 17:19 |
| Scriptonaut | so what exactly does modprobe do | 17:19 |
| ActionParsnip | Scriptonaut: ok, to make it stick, run: echo b43 | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null | 17:20 |
| Scriptonaut | and what does passing an -r do | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Scriptonaut: loads the module you name, plus its deps | 17:20 |
| ActionParsnip | Scriptonaut: the opposite is: sudo modprobe -r b43 -(r)emove | 17:20 |

| geri_ | netlar: yes edit the pdf content | 17:29 |
| netlar | geri_: Pretty sure there are no "free" solutions for that, not on any OS | 17:29 |
| netlar | geri_: I already looked into that few months ago. Was trying to find something for mac at time. Even linux does not have that. It may be cause pdf is a proprietary format owned by Adobe | 17:31 |

| Crindle | oz_, I assume this is a recent occurrence and your installation was working at one time? | 17:37 |
| Crindle | or is this after a fresh install? | 17:37 |

| Crindle | oz_, ah okay. that makes sense. phpMyAdmin can be a pain in the butt sometimes | 17:39 |
| Crindle | it's done this silly thing for me before, where it didn't add a link into the web folder | 17:39 |
| frinott | netlar: license determines free software status, not the price | 17:40 |
| Crindle | oz_, try accessing your web folder's root and add a link | 17:40 |

| Wulframn | Was it a single file? Or a directory? | 18:26 |
| minidino | single file | 18:26 |
| minidino | it was actually a truecrypt container though so I'm thinking it might be gone at this point | 18:26 |
| Wulframn | It is probably corrupt enough to warrant writing... | 18:26 |
| reisio | FFR, attempting to tab complete files you expect to NOT exist will confirm whether they truly do not exist | 18:27 |
| Wulframn | oh | 18:27 |

| Pici | oz__: the lamp-server task doesn't include phpmyadmin. | 18:40 |
| nicksloan | reisio: sorry, /dev/sdb. See update: https://gist.github.com/nicksloan/0289208ef15552f77dd3 | 18:40 |
| Pici | oz__: so I'm not sure why you have anything in /etc/phpmyadmin/ if thats the case. | 18:40 |
| reisio | nicksloan: are these commands you ran at various random times pasted together, or did you just rerun them all one after the other, just now? | 18:41 |
| oz__ | pici: i must have had it installed before and removed it using package manager | 18:42 |
| nicksloan | the last two were run at the same time. | 18:42 |
| nicksloan | well, sequentially | 18:42 |
| Pici | oz__: thats possible. So just do sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin and then you should be set. | 18:42 |
| nicksloan | (I'm manually obscuring my hostname, in case you noticed that. | 18:42 |
| reisio | that makes the last two relevant to one another, and not what precedes them | 18:42 |
| killer | hey | 18:42 |
| reisio | run them all at once please | 18:42 |
| reisio | hey, killer | 18:43 |
| * reisio always wanted to say that | 18:43 | |
| killer | ffmpeg is unable to convert mp4 to avi format , I think I need some gstreamer plugins | 18:43 |
| Codi- | ciao | 18:43 |
| reisio | killer: or a proper ffmpeg install | 18:43 |
| reisio | killer: but why would you want avi, mp4 is better | 18:43 |
| nicksloan | reisio: hmm, well, in the meantime, I've stopped postgres, and umounted /mnt/pgstorage and /mnt | 18:44 |
| BluesKaj | killer, just use VLC to play the mp4 files | 18:44 |
| reisio | nicksloan: when trying to make things add up, you should really only care about the present | 18:45 |
| reisio | because things change over time | 18:45 |

| ezra-s | bkfitz, you can just add iptables manually and then do "iptables-save" | 18:54 |
| bkfitz | _andyj_: no | 18:54 |
| _andyj_ | bkfitz: as ezra-s said... iptables-save and iptables-restore | 18:54 |
| reisio | hey joe | 18:54 |
| joe | i need help with my computer | 18:54 |
| _andyj_ | bkfitz: ufw does this for you | 18:54 |

| joe | so i made one in the correct dictionary | 18:55 |
| angs | daftykins, is it a valid documentation to install it on windows 8? as I see all methods (wubi, pen drive installation ,etc.) are not working on windows 8 | 18:55 |
| geri_ | oh | 18:56 |
| _andyj_ | bkfitz: to each their own, all of the firewalls use iptables on the back end pretty much | 18:56 |
| geri_ | ^^ | 18:56 |
| joe | then, i looked for it at tweak tools but i cant find it | 18:56 |
| bkfitz | _andyj_: yeah... i mean ufw is fine but i had problems getting it to run on reboot | 18:56 |
| daftykins | angs: can you tell if you installed ubuntu in UEFI mode? | 18:56 |
| _andyj_ | bkfitz: that's odd, it should have added itself to your init when you installed it | 18:57 |
| === mathisen is now known as Mathisen | ||
| bkfitz | _andyj_: agreed... but for whatever reason mine never did... even tried reinstalling it... didn't want to write init scripts myself so I said forget it I'll just use iptables | 18:57 |
| joe | i installed gnome but when i went to install a theme i didnt know how. so i made th e .themes folder and put my theme in there. but when i opened tweak tools and went to themes it didnt have the theme all it had was defult | 18:58 |
| joe | help? | 18:58 |
| angs | daftykins, no I have not installed anything. I was following the instructions that google shows but those instructions are not working. do you suggest a valid instruction to follow? | 18:59 |
| daftykins | angs: you said you installed ubuntu alongside windows 8 - correct? | 18:59 |
| angs | ubuntu did not ask any option, just language, keyboard, location, name, password, etc. then hard disk size | 18:59 |
| bkfitz | so does anyone know which rules file iptables-persistant loads upon reboot in ubuntu | 18:59 |
| angs | daftykins, yes after all it did not ask any other option | 19:00 |
| daftykins | !uefi | angs | 19:00 |
| ubottu | angs: UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI | 19:00 |
| daftykins | angs: have a look there, it'll show you whether you would've booted in UEFI mode or not | 19:00 |
| angs | daftykins,ok thank you. If I have UEFI, will I be no longer use the current bios? | 19:01 |

| KenSharp | Remote Desktop Viewer - is there a way for me to send a specific key combination to the server? For example, CTRL+ALT+F2? obviously if I do that now then my client machine switches to VT2 | 19:02 |
| joe | i installed gnome but when i went to install a theme i didnt know how. so i made th e .themes folder and put my theme in there. but when i opened tweak tools and went to themes it didnt have the theme all it had was defult. help? | 19:02 |
| daftykins | KenSharp: you can't view a TTY over a remote graphical protocol. | 19:02 |
| daftykins | angs: the BIOS is most likely EFI, so windows 8 and ubuntu will likely be installed in EFI mode. so you'll need to find a guide on installing grub-efi to fix it | 19:03 |
| KenSharp | daftykins: yes I can, it's a virtualbox image | 19:03 |
| rebar | anyonne having problem with 13.04 craching when using the file manager? | 19:04 |
| ezra-s | rebar, not me | 19:04 |
| ezra-s | rebar, try apt-get update && apt-get upgrade | 19:05 |
| rebar | really wierd, works perfect on my laptop but jsut craches on my pc | 19:05 |
| joe | i guess no help | 19:05 |
| ezra-s | rebar, sometimes .config or something bellow goes wild | 19:05 |
| ezra-s | rebar, in the same pc try creating another account | 19:06 |
| ezra-s | and see if file manager crashes the same for that other user | 19:06 |
| ezra-s | if not.. then your cconfig is screwed | 19:06 |
| rebar | gonna try the apt-get | 19:06 |
| _andyj_ | bkfitz: I don't think iptables has a default init script, you'll have to make one | 19:06 |
| ezra-s | checking .xsession-errors might help too | 19:07 |
| ezra-s | _andyj_, I believe it does when you do iptables-save | 19:07 |
| ezra-s | it's been a while since I used it | 19:07 |
| ezra-s | so I can't say for sure | 19:08 |
| rebar | fuu crached agin at the home screen | 19:08 |
| _andyj_ | iptables-save > "your rules file goes here" ... and iptables-restore < "your rules file goes here" ? | 19:08 |
| _andyj_ | iptables-save just outputs current loaded rules | 19:09 |
| ezra-s | rebar, I gave you a few tips already, commenting in the channel all the crashes you are having realtime won't help you | 19:09 |
| rebar | yeah, but I tried apt-get update and it crached during that | 19:09 |
| rebar | but ye, gonna try again | 19:09 |
| ezra-s | mmm | 19:09 |
| _andyj_ | oh nevermind it is saving to a default location | 19:09 |
| bkfitz | _andyj_: I believe iptables itself is loaded automatically by ubuntu at startup, but it will resort back to the default rules... so you can either write a script to edit the rules and put that into an init script, or use a service like iptables-persistant which reads a file, overwrites the iptables rules, and is loaded on reboot by default | 19:10 |
| bkfitz | so I'll put the iptables-persistent in an init script and let it load the rules | 19:11 |
| bkfitz | only prob is i don't know which file to put the rules in... differing opinions here... but the iptables-persistent site seems to indicate /etc/iptables/rules | 19:11 |
| bkfitz | https://github.com/zertrin/iptables-persistent | 19:11 |
| _andyj_ | well that script says to put them at /etc/iptables/rules | 19:13 |
| _andyj_ | so iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules | 19:13 |
| bkfitz | _andyj_: yep... should have googled it before coming here :) | 19:15 |
| _andyj_ | bkfitz: no worries, I do that sometimes too | 19:15 |
| Oran | Hello guys, iam a bloody noob and need some help please: i mde a ubuntu server 12.04 and now i want to connect to it via ssh, ssh is installed at the server but which is the right ip i need to connect to the server from external devices? | 19:18 |
| _andyj_ | Oran: run ifconfig and check for an address not in 192.168.x.x, 172.16.x.x, 10.x.x.x | 19:19 |
| llutz | Oran: on server "curl ifconfig.me", use the ip shown | 19:20 |

| rektide | i'd love to try to run whatever ubuntu's init script does, but it's a fucking insanely complicated script and i have no idea how to hack it to tell me what the frell it actually runs | 19:21 |

| area51pilot | <area51pilot> can ping local machines ... used to be able to see ... but now I cant .. this happens often sinc 12.04 ... currently on 13.04 | 19:22 |
| IdleOne | rektide: No cursing in here please | 19:22 |
| rektide | IdleOne: help me and i go away | 19:23 |
| _andyj_ | Oran: sudo service ssh restart just to make sure it's running | 19:23 |
| rektide | :p | 19:23 |
| _andyj_ | Oran: if it is, you may need to allow ssh traffic through your firewall | 19:23 |
| rektide | i'm very curious whether this is uwsgi's overmechanization or whether ubuntu is to blame for this monstrosoity | 19:23 |
| rektide | frelling frak-bolted contraption is not easy to debug | 19:23 |
| rektide | there's more code in /etc/init.d/uwsgi than there is in most of the webapps it runs. :/ | 19:24 |
| _andyj_ | Oran: if you didn't change the default port and are using ufw. you can use: sudo ufw allow ssh | 19:24 |
| Oran | andyj_ i made portforwardinbg from port 22 to the server | 19:24 |
| Oran | what is ufw? | 19:24 |
| _andyj_ | Oran: default firewall wrapper for iptables | 19:25 |
| Oran | i can tell u the names of the routers or where does this this ufw runs? | 19:25 |
| _andyj_ | Oran: it's part of the default ubuntu server install | 19:26 |
| _andyj_ | I think | 19:26 |
| Oran | andyj_ ohh than the firewall gonna block me i guess | 19:27 |

| armin | ok it's really like that - when doing an /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon start/stop, the permissions on /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json are being reset to transmission:transmission / 0600, i just double checked that. | 20:09 |

| KenSharp | reisio: the problem being that it's a knackered X session so I can't enter any command at all :( | 20:10 |
| KenSharp | but i agree, that would be useful! :) | 20:10 |
| sqrt7744 | armin, you have to stop the daemon first | 20:10 |
| andrii | actually I think it doesn't matter , I understand that LM isn't supported here, but firstly I was trying ubuntu | 20:10 |

| jkyle | pip puts virtualenvwrapper.sh into /usr/local/bin, can't find i tthough | 20:13 |
| armin | sqrt7744: and i would really like to know where that happens because it doesn't seem to occur in the init-script. | 20:13 |
| sqrt7744 | armin, yes i understand. i had a similar problem, trying to remember how I changed it. what exactly do you want to do? | 20:13 |
| sqrt7744 | armin, maybe you want to run the daemon as a different user? | 20:15 |

| andrii | thanks ! | 20:35 |
| andrii | I will try | 20:35 |
| wilee-nilee | no problem andrii | 20:35 |
| wilee-nilee | spinner, I believe wmv can be a number of types of media, some play some don't, do you have the restricted extras installed or vlc? | 20:36 |
| spinner | j | 20:37 |
| spinner | DK | 20:37 |
| spinner | wilee-nilee, not sure | 20:37 |
| OerHeks | spinner, if VLC can't play wmv, due to DRM, you can not. | 20:37 |
| wilee-nilee | spinner, you have the unity desktop? | 20:37 |
| reisio | VLC can play almost anything | 20:38 |
| spinner | vlc, says VLC does not support the audio or video format "MSS2". | 20:38 |
| andrii | actually it can't help as there is only one file iwlwifi-5000-1.ucode in the archive , other two are just some kind of instruction | 20:38 |

| andrii | there is no install files | 20:38 |
| spinner | yes unity | 20:39 |
| OerHeks | ChrisWere, contact the PPA owner, ppa's are unsupported here. | 20:39 |
| ChrisWere | OerHeks: I've also tried the ubuntu repo version. | 20:40 |
| andrii | there is also an information 'You can determine if your kernel currently has firmware loader support | 20:40 |
| andrii | by looking for the CONFIG_FW_LOADER definition on your kernel's | 20:40 |
| andrii | .config.' | 20:40 |
| andrii | but I have no idea how to check it | 20:40 |
| wilee-nilee | andrii, From what I see at best that card is problematic, you might consider a cheap usb plug and play wifi, I would. | 20:40 |
| andrii | ok, thanks | 20:41 |
| wilee-nilee | andrii, Just a suggestion, I'm not an expert here on wifi, so take that with the appropriate grains of salt. ;) | 20:42 |
| spinner | So what you say is, if vlc donst play it. It is unsuported? | 20:43 |
| andrii | :) no problem ) | 20:43 |
| Oran | u mean the vendor? jhutchins | 20:44 |

| mh0 | An A record says that domain.com goes to the ip x.x.x.x | 21:04 |
| mh0 | if your ubuntu vps is ipv6, try a AAAA record | 21:04 |
| arrrgh | mh0 i thik its ip v4, and I've added the a record, now what? | 21:07 |

| wilee-nilee | geri_, I'm not up on lvm, but I suspect you need sda1 as a boot partition for sda2, you can resize sda2 maybe check on that for sure and make more partitions, the limit is 4 primaries, or a extended with logicals for many more partitions. | 21:47 |

| wilee-nilee | Celticswynd, Run that command then the one I gave. | 22:14 |
| Aprel | frinott: thanks, reading over rsync man page and will try it | 22:15 |
| Celticswynd | does that command help with the dependency problems? | 22:15 |
| whirlybird | wilee-nilee, yes there was a patch for 13.04 that renabled whitelisting of apps that didn't conform to the unity indicator requirements. and with yesterdays unity update that patch broke allowing only java, wine and unity applets | 22:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Celticswynd, seems you have broken a distro upgrade, if you are lucky the one I gave you will finish it, what you have done inbewtween I do not know, nor any dependecies problems you may have. | 22:16 |
| dk_ | I have windows 8 on my laptop and disabled fast boot and safe boot. Then, I installed ubuntu on a hdd partition. however when I boot the laptop, it does not show grub2, it boots only from windows. does anyone know how I can get the boot option? | 22:17 |
| Celticswynd | a whole bunch of text is filling the screen. | 22:17 |
| wilee-nilee | whirlybird, Where did you get this patch I run 13.04 and have not heard of it. | 22:17 |
| Celticswynd | way too much to copy paste over | 22:17 |
| Celticswynd | this a good sigen? | 22:17 |

| Celticswynd | it's saying 'setting up' a bunch of things | 22:20 |
| whirlybird | wilee-nilee, thanks. i will just have to wait. its amazing how diminished the experience of using ubuntu with unity becomes without the whitelisted systray. will go to xfce for a while i guess. thanks. | 22:21 |
| wilee-nilee | Celticswynd, For direct answers here we need actual accurate information. However you had a distro upgrade break, and now with these two commands I assume which are widely used in just this sort of situation are run your getting setup indicators, seems normal, inspite of no real good details from you. | 22:22 |
| Kalel | I'd like to install the new kernel 3.10 in my Ringtail. I have the latest beta amd eta driver and I don't know if everything will support it.. | 22:22 |
| link15 | i've installed openjdk but my JAVA_HOME is still pionting to the jre | 22:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Kalel, The channel wont. | 22:23 |
| Celticswynd | Sorry about the vaugness on my end, when I get upset all hopes of minute detail goes out the window. The command is still running though | 22:23 |
| link15 | is there a command line tool for switching htat or should i hard set it | 22:23 |
| Celticswynd | and I calmed down so thankyou on that end. | 22:23 |
| Kalel | wilee-nilee: What are you talking about what I'm talking? | 22:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Celticswynd, I yhink you are fine, the best thing is these sort of situations and always are good backups and clones if you have the space. | 22:23 |
| wilee-nilee | Kalel, The only kernels technically supported here are the stock ones. | 22:24 |
| randomvisit | try chaning java_home path "export _JAVA_HOME=dir to jdk folder" | 22:24 |
| Celticswynd | I should be able to make a clone, I should have the space | 22:24 |
| wilee-nilee | Celticswynd, Preferably on a external HD. | 22:25 |
| Celticswynd | Good idea, I'll have to save for one. | 22:25 |
| Kalel | wilee-nilee: The updated automatically? | 22:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Celticswynd, Always the cloud depends on the size is all, I use clonezilla it save everything in packages, just needs an equal or larger partition for reloading. | 22:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Kalel, Basically yes, however in certain circumstances some computers or setups might need one from the repos that is different, not a beta from the web. | 22:27 |

| bennypr0fane | how do I find the location of a library I know to be present on my system? | 22:28 |
| Kalel | wilee-nilee: Ok. I will not install the 3.10 kernel so. Empirically, I already crashed systems installing packages like that. | 22:29 |
| randomvisit | Is there anyway i can find out. I have unlimited everything from plan and at very low price. So i wouldn't switch my carrier for that phone. | 22:29 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | Jeruvy: The passthrough is detected properly, and it assigns it to /dev/ttyUSB0, so that seems to be a "good thing" | 23:48 |

| daftykins | Therapy: ubuntu 13.04? | 23:50 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | Jeruvy: Hmm. ok, I can do that with addfaxmodem -s to set the rate. 9600 seems like a safe rate. These modems are rock solid when plugged directly in to a serial port, so I imagine this is a USB > Serial converter issue | 23:50 |

| _UsUrPeR_ | Jeruvy: Do you have any recommendations toward a more suited irc channel on freenode? | 23:53 |
| daftykins | Therapy: that and checking that your downloaded ISO was good might be a good idea | 23:53 |
| daftykins | wpbogdan: nobody here represents the company direct, so it's unlikely this is a wise approach to make to try and ask for refunds | 23:53 |
| k1l_ | wpbogdan: this is not a paypal support | 23:53 |
| wpbogdan | How can I contact the company? | 23:54 |
| Jeruvy | _UsUrPeR_ ##hardware could be a choice about the hardware device. | 23:54 |
| daftykins | wpbogdan: i have no idea, i'd imagine the website has some detail | 23:54 |
| _UsUrPeR_ | Jeruvy: awesome. Thanks for the tip | 23:54 |
| wpbogdan | I just found this irc server on the site, nothing more. | 23:54 |
| rreed | The funds are not dispersed to Canonical until after the funding period is over, if it succeeds. You would need to direct your inquiry to Paypal, or IndieGoGo. Paypal support should be able to process the refund. | 23:54 |
| Therapy | daftykins: Well, I've tried it with two different versions, and i've redownloaded / rewrote them to the stick twice, so they were fine, I guess. When running the test, what should I look on in the first place (or it will be obvious enough, like "Everything's fine" message)? | 23:55 |
| wpbogdan | What means "troll" ? | 23:55 |
| rreed | Trolling means riling people up intentionally. | 23:55 |
| daftykins | Therapy: hmm. that's a fair point. if you know the flash drive is good you could try full formatting it and trying to put the OS on again - what did you use to write the ISO's to the USB? | 23:56 |
| k1l_ | wpbogdan: if its about the ubuntu-edge crowdfunding talk to indiegogo. the contacts are on the site. | 23:56 |
| wpbogdan | I already requested a refund on paypal 20 days ago but still didn't get a refund, I contacted them and they said to contact you. | 23:56 |
| k1l_ | wpbogdan: this is a technical ubuntu support for the ubuntu operating system. not that what you are searching for. talk to indiegogo. its their business | 23:57 |
| rreed | wpbogdan, Canonical/Ubuntu has nothing to do with the funds as of yet as they have not been released/dispersed. If Paypal directed you to another party, contact IndieGoGo directly. | 23:57 |
| wpbogdan | Ok thank you. | 23:58 |
| Therapy | daftykins: I've tried formatting / rewriting (although I could try with another flash drive). I use universal-usb-installer-9.3.9 to write the iso to the usb. | 23:58 |
| rreed | wpbogdan, http://support.indiegogo.com/entries/21081743-Refunds | 23:58 |
| Therapy | But, huh, I guess the drive is fine it I manage to get to the language selection. | 23:58 |
| daftykins | Therapy: that'd be worth a go, and the memtest, just to rule out a problem with the system. you've tried different USB ports too i suspect? one directly on the motherboard would be good | 23:59 |
