[00:02] thanks [00:02] but i figured it was an ubuntu issue [00:04] 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] d corner of the screen. I have been playing around with arandr but cannot fix it [00:05] barbara____, Don't think it will show until you have set it up [00:05] any idea how i can launch it [00:05] MrLahey: are you clonginy our monitors? [00:05] MercX: shoot [00:06] alright im logging in lets see if it goes to the tray [00:06] MrLahey: TPBs rules! best of luck with your issue. [00:06] barbara____, From the menu its in system preferences [00:06] frinott: I am getting undefined reference errors, i believe from the X11 library [00:07] i just installed all the libs (packages) required by the source code, [00:07] good news is it's syncing bad news is... still not in the tray [00:07] what is a good way to find where these functions? exist [00:08] paste gcc output to paste.ubuntu.com [00:10] huh [00:10] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5960821/ [00:10] I actually now have an installed ubuntu system on /dev/sda [00:10] !who [00:10] As you can see, this is a large channel.

I am trying to see my battery charge level. acpi -v returns acpi version 1.06 installed [00:18] I need to download the package that contains the slapd source files and ubuntu patches. My /etc/apt/sources.list is all screwed up for this task, Any url where I can get the right info ? [00:19] Guest19355: acpi -V [00:19] tharkun: why is your sources.list "screwed up"? [00:19] fair call, im having issues booting into ubuntu. iv booted into recovery mode from grub... attempted to run "startx", althrough it dies with erro "fatal server erro: no screens found".

[00:19] <_andyj_> old patch prolly in main line kernel now [00:20] fOmey i've just had these issues on my desktop and have fixed it. do you have proprietary drivers installed? [00:20] how do i find out what kernel version i have ? [00:20] tharkun: well depending on the answer, you may want to reinstall. Anyway, you just need the deb-src line for the repository slapd comes from and then issue « apt-get source slapd » [00:20] so i added the netflix and wine combo on my ubuntu 12.4 and it loads netflix but when you click on the show or movie it crashes :( help [00:20] kroq-gar78: i was using open source drivers, although i did attempt to install gnome3 last night.. since then, it carked it. [00:20] <_andyj_> Guest19355: uname -r [00:20] tharkun: apt-cache policy slapd will give you information about the repository it comes from by the way [00:20] kroq-gar78: iv also ran a "sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop" to make sure I have all the needed packages [00:21] 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? [00:21] I was wondering if I could cancel downloading packages using wubi I have it downloading and I want to cancel it. [00:21] jrib: thanks, guessing about time, fixing this system will take longer than reinstalling. [00:21] fOmey have you tried to uninstall gnome3 yet and autoremove anything left? looks like your problem isn't the same as the one i had, unfortunately [00:22] Anonymous_, ?? [00:22] kroq-gar78: how do i get networking enabled via recovery root console ? i have not attempted to remove gnome3 [00:22] I don't understand why this won't work sudo su - amccloud -c "export COW=moo; echo $COW" (it echoes a blank line) [00:22] hey, my first attempt on running a manually compiled kernel failed hard. any hints on what could've gone wrong? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2166046 [00:22] Anonymous_, just kill it in task manager or shut off your system? [00:22] Dover, is there a cancel button for downloading Ubuntu with wubi? [00:23] Will that corrupt the hard drive possibly? [00:23] fOmey if you're talking about LAN, then you can run "sudo ifconfig eth0 up" (could be eth1, depending on your system). it should work then [00:23] Anonymous_, I don't know [00:23] on secure shell i have a openshh key generated that i dont remember set at any time, what is this for? [00:23] Also I was wondering if I could dual boot XP and Ubuntu with Ubuntu on one hard drive and XP on the other?

[00:25] fOmey i'm assuming you can't ping anything then, right? like ubuntu.com or google.com ? [00:25] XP on my C:/ and Ubuntu on my E:/? [00:25] kroq-gar78: correct, unknown host [00:25] fOmey ok. you can make sure of the ethernet interface's name by running "ifconfig". [00:26] <_andyj_> Guest19355: you need to check your kernel configuration, the mainline (may/or may not have) included that ACPI patch at some point. Reading for you: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile [00:27] kroq-gar78: [00:27] Anonymous_, do you have 70$? [00:27] kroq-gar78: iv got quite a few interfaces coming up here, unable to scroll [00:27] kroq-gar78: iv got an idea, ill drop back into recovery and enable networking throught there [00:27] 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] fOmey shift+pg up/down should let you scroll. ok, try that i guess [00:28] Ok, So i have two harddrives. I want to have ubuntu on one and windows on the other. Is that possible? [00:28] Anonymous_, cuz if you did, you could just buy a external hard drive and put your ubuntu on there [00:28] hey, my first attempt on running a manually compiled kernel failed hard. any hints on what could've gone wrong? http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2166046 [00:28] Dover [00:28] I currently am using an external hard drive [00:28] Also is a 1 gb flash drive enough to boot to ubuntu? [00:28] Anonymous_ as a live boot, yes it's enough [00:28] Anonymous_: how are we supposed to know when you use windows-terms like 'C' and 'E'? [00:29] thnx andy-j, but that seems WAY above my lvl of skill.. am thinking 1 step wrong and system turns to brick mode. [00:29] Well [00:29] hello [00:29] kroq-gar78: doh shift+pgup, ill remember that.. ahh no luck with networking still [00:29] Do you guys think I should go for the live installation or the dual boot off my External drive? [00:29] I have a question about making an app using the Ubuntu SDK [00:29] fOmey hmmm. can you tell me which interfaces come up after you run ifconfig? not all the addresses or anything, just the names [00:29] Is this the right place? [00:29] kroq-gar78: eth1 definately connected to my network. although no activity [00:30] hmm @ newegg issues [00:30] Hello everyone, I'm trying to adjust the clock on Xubuntu 13.04. I'm trying sudo date 080719292013 and it works just fine, but once in a while it goes back to my old time when I reboot... is there another way to adjust the clock so it won't go back?

[00:31] Yep [00:31] fOmey hm then i'm pretty much out of the basic ideas. "sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart" might solve the problem, but i don't really think so. it's worth a try, i'd think [00:32] I see I can develop using HTML5 [00:32] that includes JS/CSS3 si? [00:32] kroq-gar78: hmm [00:33] kroq-gar78: this is interesting, "unable to write to /var/cache/apt [00:33] Oh, and I am on 32bit [00:33] Anonymous_, so you could burn a live cd, wipe all the partitions on your external drive via fdisk, then install ubuntu on it. or where you thinking of something else? [00:33] kroq-gar78: looks like its not mounted as rw.. [00:33] Dover [00:33] bootthanoo: #ubuntu-app-devel would likely be a better place [00:33] I was thinking of just making a 32gb partion on my external [00:33] patition [00:33] I have about 400 mb of data on it ATM [00:33] fOmey yep, from what i recall sounds right. "sudo mount -o remount /" if i remember correctly [00:33] partition* [00:34] Pici thank you, that's a better place ;) [00:34] Anonymous_, that's completely doable via the liveDVD [00:34] any programmes that clean all logs on linux for CLI use like clean login and last login all thing like that [00:34] Well [00:34] Marlenee: sure but why bother [00:34] Well [00:35] Could someone help me make a live usb?

[00:37] Oh [00:37] The USB is Fat32 [00:37] Is that a problem? [00:38] so I can execute a shell in the rescue mode of the installer [00:38] Anonymous_: probably not [00:38] either on /dev/sda2 (my new ubuntu root) or /dev/sdb1 (the installation media) [00:38] Alright [00:38] Do you know how to format a USB drive in windows?

[00:39] hmmm [00:39] Not sure if FAT32 [00:39] fOmey cool! so we still have to fix the monitors problem. can you pastebinit "/var/log/lightdm/x-o.log"? unless, there's sensitive information, which i don't really believe there is.

[00:43] please [00:43] fOmey i'm talking about the login screen. did you change it from the default? if not, then it's lightdm. [00:43] kroq-gar78: no, i dont believe so.. [00:43] fOmey unless you installed an ubuntu derivative. [00:43] meow [00:44] i go sleep [00:44] Well [00:44] Will a 700mb Live CD work? [00:44] bb ikonia and other my virtual friends [00:44] kroq-gar78: preferably what i want to do is just bring ubuntu back to default unity with default settings.. [00:45] hi, I'm here to see if anyone knows why an upgrade to 13.10 is failing: it's throwing an error on pkgProblemResolver: resolve generated breaks [00:45] kroq-gar78: or gnome, im not fussy.. [00:45] f0mey ok. "sudo cat /var/log/lightdm/x-0.log | pastebinit" should work. [00:45] f0mey basically, there could be an error farther up in the xorg log that could shed more light on the issue. [00:45] I had tried the pf-linux kernel recently, and it was crashing on resume, so I followed the instructions to uninstall it [00:45] kroq-gar78: excellent [00:46] and I got ambitious, trying to install 13.10 [00:46] f0mey tell me the pastebin link after you ran the command [00:46] kroq-gar78: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5960886/ [00:46] I don't need to install, just wondering why it might be failing [00:47] reisio : no bother just for my privacy [00:48] Marlenee: encrypt your filesystem/s [00:49] Hola [00:49] reisio : there others user have to login to my root [00:49] kroq-gar78: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5960886/ [00:49] Increase: hi [00:49] kroq-gar78: just incase, you didnt recieve that =p [00:50] reisio : i can encypt with truecrypt but i perfer cleaner [00:50] Marlenee: you just want to clear shell history? [00:50] because that's easy [00:50] fOmey yeah i see it ;) i know it's bad practice, but i think I have seen the issue of installing gnome and it not coming up on google before [00:50] although a lot of terms store data in /tmp [00:50] but most people don't know that [00:51] and if you protected against things most people didn't know, you'd never be done protecting yourself [00:51] kroq-gar78: mmm, i ran a "sudo apt-get remove gnome [00:51] kroq-gar78: gnome-shell* [00:51] kroq-gar78: but i dont think that is whats is causing it.. [00:52] fOmey do "sudo apt-get purge gnome-shell" and "sudo apt-get autoremove" to clean things up after that. [00:52] kroq-gar78: running that now [00:52] reisio : tell me that [00:53] kroq-gar78: startx still failing.. [00:53] Marlenee: for bash, for example, you just run echo '' ~/.bash_history && history -c [00:53] f0mey after restart? prob won't fix things, but it might help other things [00:53] Marlenee: which you can probably put into ~/.bash_logout to be run automatically [00:53] kroq-gar78: ill reboot now [00:53] Marlenee: erm, echo '' > ~/.bash_history, that is [00:53] kroq-gar78: i wont go into recovery mode tho this time, will see what happens [00:53] or I s'pose you could just rm it, too [00:54] reisio : -bash: /root/.bash_history: Permission denied [00:54] Anyone else having serious issues with Ubuntu x64 and the NVS 5400M graphics card?

I just installed it and it asks for my root password, but won't accept my root password [01:14] 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] ZIPY: and there is a bug in manual partitioning in the installer in the desktop image [01:14] breed, try gksudo "untebootin" [01:15] i'm coming from red hat based distros. how much different is ubuntu under the hood? [01:15] do u have any idea how to change sudoers file without root password?! [01:15] 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] Mace268: they all do the same things deep down [01:15] shoosah: that would defeat the purpose [01:16] like is init stuff very similar? [01:16] shoosah: obviously, you can't. [01:16] 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] breed, until it works without root privileges - yes [01:16] Mace268: depends on when you left red hat [01:16] still run centos on my game server, and run sme server here at home [01:16] Mace268: The basics are still GNU/Linux, but once you hit packaging, things change fast. [01:16] reisio : the command clean bash only what about clean login and "last" cmd [01:16] shoosah: well, there is not root password in ubuntu. but you need sudo (aka root) access. [01:17] 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] some common red hat difficults seemed to me way much more tough [01:17] especially packaging-related ) [01:17] 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] shoosah: 9 times out of 10, modifying sudoers is the wrong method anyways. what do you want to acheieve? [01:18] Marlenee: what does it matter when people were logged in? [01:18] I TRIED MAKING A MULTI ISO WITH XBOOT however the thing only puts for if the images iun the main image folder [01:18] Mace268: http://nakedape.cc/wiki/PackageManagerCheatsheet :) [01:18] and then i find it has another image folder inside the image folder [01:18] 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] aykotick9, I do need to change it in order to give the right previlage for installing ceph [01:18] seems ubuntu is a "have your cake and eat it too" distro :D [01:18] shoosah, maybe you should have start with sudo su and passwd? [01:19] I just entered pkexec visudo === kcristiano_ is now known as kcrist [01:19] how would one load the other os if there not in the menu [01:19] 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] shoosah, root doesn't have password by default, the whole thing was planned to do via sudo [01:19] the root password is simply different from the admin pass! [01:20] kdawg: u need to update grub: sudo grub-update [01:20] s/if you/if so/ [01:20] !root | shoosah [01:20] 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] I have two different users on my system [01:20] but nothing stops you from reviving it until you 100% sure that you need it [01:20] kdawg: it will search for other os' [01:20] 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] 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] zippy [01:20] 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? [01:21] 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] 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] that's why they are different === Aww is now known as AWW === AWW is now known as Aww [01:21] So my computer has been freezing repeatedly, this is the kernel log just before the last freeze. http://pastebin.com/qLpSa5QSsdf any suggestions as to what may be the cause? [01:22] hellokitty, This paste has been removed! [01:22] zykotick9: it is not under my control! [01:22] shoosah: good luck then. [01:22] reisio : what is the command or the programme that can remve login and "last" cmd history [01:23] failmaster: sorry http://pastebin.com/qLpSa5QS [01:23] Marlenee, history -c? .bash_history file, /var/log/wtmp [01:23] hey? [01:23] trying to put 8 version of ubuntu on one bootable iso [01:23] Marlenee, packetstormsecurity for log viping tools to expand the knowledge on the subject [01:24] kann einer Hier deutsch? [01:24] kdawg: i dont know xboot but i guess u create a ubuntu usb image with it right? so when u install from that it will install a menu to let u select ur os [01:24] ja aber nicht so gut [01:24] is ubuntu just as customizable as any other distro? [01:24] yesh unfortunately it only created menu linux for 4 of them [01:25] ir creates a usb/iso [01:25] Mace268: just as open source, so yes [01:25] it* [01:25] hellokitty, i guess that would be a good idea to bring here "dmesg" output, the whole thing [01:25] does anyone know much about edubuntu? [01:25] reisio: with Unity, i question that... [01:25] ok i've made my decision: gentoo-no ubuntu-yes [01:25] ni652336: its an extension for ubuntu, for educational purposes [01:26] zykotick9: Unity is open source, too [01:26] Mace268, there is a system of building from source-packages in debian, so in ubuntu [01:26] reisio: yes, but is it very customizable? [01:26] zykotick9: being open source, it's as customizable as people want it to be [01:27] reisio: s/people/canonical/ [01:27] Mace268, you may want to investigate it around apt-src [01:27] thanks for the tip i'll definitely look that up === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [01:28] can someone Tell me how to install ubuntu os on my s3? [01:28] just read this "3) Sometimes Multiboot USB\ISO doesn't work on vmware, virtualbox, qemu etc. but works on real PC. So If you [01:28] are testing Multiboot USB\ISO on vmware,virtualbox, qemu etc. and it didn't boot .Then please do check it [01:28] again on Real PC." might be my problem so going to put it on the usb stick lol [01:28] use y.u.m.i [01:28] zykotick9: it's free software, anyone can modify it any way they like [01:29] 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] using xboot cause it can create iso files from other iso files [01:29] SARDU and YUMI cant [01:30] yumi can for shure [01:30] non-LTS is ok for desktop installs though right? [01:30] hii [01:30] hey [01:30] Mace268, depends on your courage and ability to fix stuff [01:31] hi ni [01:31] back ... just sent newegg support an email [01:31] i don't mind getting my hands dirty, i'm just real rusty... been on windows for the last several years. [01:32] 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] lol [01:32] 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] Mace268, but it applies mostly to desktop-oriented stuff [01:32] 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] makes sense [01:32] have to do them all by hand [01:32] jmson311: ahhh, that's the default - read access for everyone? [01:33] Mace268, i came from dark ages of slackware and i'm also too rusty for some modern stuff like gtk3 and network-manager [01:34] xmetal: why would it be a pain? [01:34] 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] trying to make a script for some of our training VMs [01:34] jmson311: write is another matter... [01:35] jmson311: you can make those directories/files if you want [01:35] guys, i have a problem trying to switch passphrase to keyfile authorization for root partition, while it works flawlessly for others on 13.04, however, the end-goal scheme used to work fine on 12.04 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/cryptsetup/+bug/238163/comments/18 anyone?

[01:36] i allways use adduser. [01:37] jmson311: it's not going to help you in your case, but i'd suggest using adduser over useradd myself. [01:37] 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] jmson311, change all the users folders to a group of your choice and then give write permission to the files and folders marked that group === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [01:38] hello! [01:39] meh I installed ubuntu on my 80 year old grandmas laptop and desktop she couldn't figure out unity lol [01:39] i was wondering if anyone might be able to answer a question for me. [01:39] but gnome classic took her two seconds [01:39] najc, just ask it [01:39] Thank you. [01:39] * xmetal shakes fist in air @ unity [01:39] :P [01:39] hah [01:39] so I've got a hard drive i'm pretty sure is busted, but i can't get it to read in a livecd [01:39] tht is the one "desktop" i do not like at all [01:40] @wm30 ill try that [01:40] 4yr old here can handle unity. [01:40] disk utility shows me unknown partitions and errors [01:40] sorry @w30 [01:40] dr_willis: If you come from a windows background and know nothing about computers I think gnome is the easiest transition [01:40] iananananan: what was on it? [01:40] dr_willis, because it's out of wisdom environment [01:40] iananananan: your partitions may be corrupt [01:41] jmson311, add yourelf to that group [01:41] Unity is pretty Mac OS-y, indeed [01:41] fOmey: dr_willis music, photos of a family member [01:41] iananananan: i would suggest downloading gpart live cd, great little tool to have on ahnd. [01:41] oh one more thing, how reliable is linux with r/w to ntfs partitions these days? [01:41] 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] fOmey: is it significantly different enough from runninga livecd ubuntu and gparted thru that? [01:41] iananananan: ddrescue to clone it to a file. then try to recover from that file [01:41] Mace268, things got waay much better [01:42] Mace268, fine unless you write to much to windows better to have a shared ntfs partition [01:42] i'm just thrilled you can change interfaces in two seconds flat with linux [01:42] !ntfs-3g [01:42] ntfs-3g is a Linux driver which allows read/write access to NTFS partitions.

[01:58] Launchpad bug 238163 in cryptsetup (Ubuntu) "keyfile doesn't work in initramfs" [Undecided,New] [01:58] nbros652, Is this an image save? [01:58] wilee-nilee: yes [01:58] gracias! [01:58] nbros652, Not sure if it will work but try the prtsc key. === jono is now known as Guest576 [01:59] dammit doesn't work at all if i use the xboot image with SARDU [02:00] time to formate the usb again [02:00] 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] lucky only doing one at a time for now [02:00] nbros652, I figured it was more than a simple image, not sure otherwise myself. [02:01] wilee-nilee: thanks anyway [02:01] nbros652, My thoughts are though that a bash with a key prompt might work, but that is a guess [02:02] wilee-nilee: it makes the screen "flash" because it uses the gnome-screenshot program. I can't have the screen "flashing" [02:02] here is a question for you ubuntu bros [02:02] nbros652, Makes sense. [02:02] pros* [02:03] do all ubuntu iso boot from ntfs partitions [02:03] kdawg, No [02:03] kdawg, I believe not anyway, an iso will boot from grub though. [02:05] xboot says to make sure all iso are bootable via ntfs partitions [02:05] since its going on an ntfs usb stick [02:05] kdawg, ntfs with a boot loader right, that's not windows. [02:05] cause the ubuntu image i used before yet it was only one of them [02:06] worked with sardu [02:06] however the image i created with xboot doesn't seem to work at all [02:06] kdawg, What boot loader does sardu use? [02:06] Xboot use Grub4dos [02:06] let me check SARDU [02:07] kdawg, I figured as such, so what is the ultimate goal here? [02:07] well ultimate goal is to have all the linux distrobutions in the own menu [02:08] otherwise i'd have like 60 os's in one menu [02:08] gonna try formating the drive again [02:08] and using yumi see if that works [02:09] 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] kdawg, Only loads in linux thoufg. [02:09] though* [02:09] not just linux [02:10] i also will have antivirus recover tools and and everything on it sardu does most of it [02:10] what exactly does | less do? [02:10] kdawg, The multisystem runs in linux and boots windows iso's as well [02:10] if i do a command like ping google.com | less [02:10] im not following [02:10] why is it better than just doing ping google.com [02:10] wilee-nilee multisystem loader which one was that [02:10] petey, it says, test google.com and output it so you can read everything [02:11] kdawg, From vista up a usb will boot an iso with a ntfs active and the iso exstracted to it anyway. [02:11] I no of 3 programs i have yet to use yumi except for looking at the options [02:11] 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] petey, you only need | less, when you have too much text on the screen at once [02:11] oh okay [02:11] that makes better sense [02:11] thanks ttysteale, DoverMo [02:11] so u saying if i just put the images on the usb dos will not what to boot [02:12] 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] no( [02:12] no* [02:12] kdawg, Doh not grub gparted. [02:12] fat32 [02:12] has a file size limit [02:13] 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] kdawg, I have it on a 32 gig usb, never had a file limit you have iso's more than 4 gigs [02:14] 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] well for instance the ubuntu8versions of it is just over 5 gigs [02:14] 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 [02:15] wilee-nilee: I found an answer to my problem... scrot works just fine. [02:15] 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] 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. [02:16] nbros652, Cool. [02:16] gonna try yumi first cause i am diffinately more comfortable on windows [02:19] 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] at least that I found with yumi anyway. [02:19] 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] r its in and only giving it access to that part? [02:20] yeah i am only trying one iso right now since its unlisted anyways [02:20] 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. I just get examples.desktop and thats it. Only when i log out of admin and log into the user account does it actually create the subfolders for home/user [02:21] ? [02:22] when will the ubuntu phone come out?

Meaning it can access the root folder, delete it, and format all drives. How do you go about limiting this program [02:26] to the folder its in and only giving it access to that part?

[02:43] Pretty much everything you just said didn't make much sense to me. Llol [02:43] Runemoro, This is an old argument, I'm not going to bother to be honest.

And I assume it's more of a community choice to deny the existance of such things [02:47] 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.

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] 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. [04:35] Ubulost: you mean samba shares? [04:35] wilee-nilee: yeah I get ata8.00: exception Emask …. frozen [04:35] ata8.00: failed command: IDENTIFY PACKET DEVICE [04:35] I did install a new hard drive [04:36] eph3meral, All I could do is google that but at least it is info. [04:36] 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] Ubulost: sudo smbpasswd username for samba password s [04:36] hrm, yeah oh well [04:36] see the samba docs books [04:36] !info samba-doc [04:36] samba-doc (source: samba): Samba documentation. In component main, is optional. Version 2:3.6.9-1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 5615 kB, installed size 13734 kB [04:37] eph3meral, Not sure but there is a #hardware channel if it is in the build maybe [04:37] Ubulost: for ubuntu tu ubuntu or other linux' its seaier to use ssh or sftp or sshfs not samba [04:37] dr_willis: been thru samba docs over and over. I think I'm missing something simple. I'll try that again now, though === dpac|away is now known as dpac [04:38] user has no samba password by default. === conrad1 is now known as TheComputerKid [04:42] Anyone know what license the ubuntu icons are released under? [04:42] 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? [04:43] 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] wilee-nilee: works fine now :) [04:44] dr_willis: is this correct?> you set user share in smb.conf, then password with smbpasswd? are there other steps? [04:45] Ubulost: thats the core of it. [04:45] guess I should have googled better or searched the docs better: "The Humanity Icon Theme is licensed under the GPL v2." - /usr/share/doc/humanity-icon-theme/copyright === FreezingDroid is now known as FreezingCold [04:49] when I dpkg --get-selections how come some packages are not listed in there like apt-cache etc.. [04:50] wilee-nilee: I have 8 gigs of ram, how much swap should I afford? [04:50] is it because apt-cache is provided by apt [04:50] by *the apt* package [04:50] I can't remember, I feel like I recall reading I shouldn't bother going above like 1-2G ? [04:50] eph3meral: 8GB could theoretically be useful [04:50] but no more [04:50] also, should swap go at the beginning or end? [04:50] 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] :) [04:51] smallest I could find at best buy :/ [04:51] yeah I hear you [04:51] sometimes one needs a cheap drive, and not an expensive data center :p [04:51] should have gotten like a 64gb SSD then [04:51] they're probably preparing for Windows 9, which will require 500GB to install [04:51] meh, I plan to do the SSD soon [04:51] those are comporable in price to 500GB [04:51] and when I do I will go all out [04:52] let's see, I bought some 2TBs for $100 a piece [04:52] so 500GB _should be_ $25 :p but of course that's not how things work, heh [04:52] nah, they are like ~$60 i think [04:52] demand, etc. [04:52] yeah, and there is a floor on how cheap you can make a HDD [04:53] lot of manufacturers focus too much on demand and not enough on reliable profit margins [04:53] but we digress :p [04:53] 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. [04:54] eph3meral, If I actually ever really the swap O might put is closer to the front of the HD. [04:54] I* [04:55] Hello Folks! [04:56] wilee-nilee: good point === kb3gtn is now known as kb3gtn|away [04:56] eph3meral: ubuntu's auto option would make the swap 8GB and at the end of the disk [04:56] wilee-nilee: does it matter of swap is a primary or a logical drive? [04:56] I suspect wilee-nilee told them to [04:57] does it matter if* [04:57] eph3meral: no [04:57] is sda3 = hd0,2 in grub? [04:58] 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] derrik: nope [04:58] then what it is? [04:58] derrik: >=GRUB2 counts devices from 0 and partitions from 1 [04:58] do not ask [04:58] me why [04:59] so its hd0,3? [04:59] right [04:59] neo1691: hi [04:59] thanks [04:59] and then there's swap _files_ [05:00] sometimes it can be really handy to have a disposable few-gig partition though [05:00] you can use it for all sorts of things [05:00] 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] dump in a rescue OS, copying & resizing [05:00] I won't miss it [05:00] eph3meral: heh [05:01] I'm pretty sure the hibernation will not explode if it's a few megs short :) [05:01] werd [05:01] but nor will your disk with a few extra gigs of swap :p [05:01] but JUST in case [05:01] eph3meral, Heh, live real. ;) [05:01] test [05:01] lahwran: you pass [05:02] "My ram is full and I want to hibernate! why can't this free software hibernate when my ram is full! Ubuntu sucks!" [05:02] eph3meral, That a troll practice. ;) [05:03] yeah, gotta keep my teeth sharp ya know [05:03] vs my ram is all used up with nothink loaded [05:03] I bought a mac because they are perfect, Apple is perfect! [05:03] :p [05:04] with a ssd hard drive and 10 sec boot times. i dont hibernate [05:04] same here [05:04] why do you even reboot? :p [05:04] just for the rush [05:04] heheheh [05:04] 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] then life would be good [05:04] and I wouldn't need hibernate [05:04] VNC [05:05] hmm, fair point [05:05] session managers. [05:05] dr_willis: that's about as big of a joke as compiz [05:05] Don't see them used much any moar [05:05] what happens if the directory is set as read and execute and the file as read only for the group? [05:05] nice idea though [05:06] can the group execute the file? [05:07] 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] well holy nuck farts, I think it worked [05:07] now for the updates :/ [05:07] and to get rid of unity (*shudder*) [05:09] "unity makes the world prettier" hippie quote [05:09] Any ideas how I might tell why my install is stuck on configuring hardware? The skip button has no effect either. [05:10] Mace268, This a dualboot using the slider? [05:10] is sudo apt-get install xubuntu-desktop the way to go for xfce? [05:11] No fresh install on an ssd drive... [05:11] (I'm an XFCE guy… it's pretty much GNOME2 without as many bugs) [05:11] Mace268, Did you tick the update box? [05:11] I can't remember, I had some issues wherein XFCE was installed, but none of the icons :/ [05:11] Yes [05:11] Mace268, Stuck or just running long? [05:12] Mace268, What release? [05:12] Well the system is responding still but the dropdown says the last activity was an ipv6 config timeout. [05:13] 12.04.2 [05:13] Mace268, That would be a bit if update if you did not get the daily, my guess is that. [05:13] of* [05:14] I had to start the install with nomodeset because the gpu was locking [05:14] Mace268, This computer up for the task hardware wise? [05:14] I checked my nic activity [05:14] Yes for sure [05:15] The drm was locking up on my gtx580 [05:16] 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] Thanks I'll give it a while longer === ubuntu is now known as Guest3974 [05:17] Although the iso downloaded in much less time than this [05:18] But my net is spotty [05:18] ISO downloads on torrent are insanely fast… sooo nice [05:19] Yuh for sure [05:19] peak torrent ftw [05:19] exit [05:19] throttled here gotta get a modem not from the provider [05:21] Now it just ran a cron command, I guess it's moving along [05:22] Why would it run cron-hourly during an install though? [05:24] I am using ubuntu 13.04 and these day I get a lot of system errors. Can someone please suggest me how to debug such errors or get to the bottom of such errors [05:25] neo1691, You ever click the more info and look at what they are? [05:25] Anyone know about creating a personal livestream with an Ubuntu server?

[05:28] bonjour === fishman_ is now known as centaur5 [05:28] a bon merci [05:28] neo1691, not exactly sure, you would have to debug each individually if you think that is the fix, I just remove the popup setup.

[05:40] RingingEars, pictures. doesnt need to be a complex encryption. im protecting from junkies. not hackers [05:41] Truecrypt can make a contained, like a folder, that you can put them in. [05:41] GnuPG could individually encrypt pictures [05:41] AcidRain2012: what are you trying to do? [05:41] * a container [05:42] berto-, stop junkies from stealing sensetive data and trading it for crack [05:43] junkies aren't that smart [05:43] they need the crack too immediately [05:43] $5's for a stolen laptop is crack in the hand [05:43] there are always more laptops, after all [05:44] reisio, :/ i just need file encryption. if i could encrypt an entire folder that would be great [05:45] AcidRain2012: encfs [05:45] hi [05:45] https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FolderEncryption [05:45] igor_: hiyo [05:45] hi reisio [05:45] where are you from?

[05:47] I am using compiz since ubuntu 12.04 days, and I feel its causing much of my errors in ubuntu, can anyone tell me how to completely uninstall compiz>? [05:48] Trying again with 13.04. Should I use LVM? [05:48] neo1691: yes, it is causing your errors [05:48] purge [05:48] unfortunately I don't know enough to tell you how to uninstall! XD [05:48] sudo apt-get purge compiz [05:48] ^ [05:48] neo1691, unity is a plugin in compiz running ontop of gnome 3 [05:48] igor_, Bad advice [05:48] -,8 [05:48] :( [05:48] Just use a different desktop [05:48] wilee-nilee: so that means I should unninstall it? [05:49] Just use a different desktop neo1691 [05:49] yep on the don't remove and try a new desktop neo1691 [05:49] Don't uninstall it [05:49] how do i permanently delete files off an external hdd. they keep going into .trash-0 [05:49] :/ [05:49] im using nautilus [05:50] AcidRain2012, dconf-editor has a bypass thrash option [05:50] dr_willis: I like unity? is compiz enabled by default in unity? [05:50] trash [05:50] Shift_delete key I think also [05:50] that sound rigt [05:50] come to install Sytem opr [05:50] neo1691: unity is a compilation plugin [05:50] right* [05:50] compiz* [05:50] ugh, unity is so bad, I deleted the ubuntu I just installed and downloaded xubuntu instead [05:50] Compiz [05:50] so worth it [05:50] dr_willis, thx. your solution was easiest [05:51] use ubuntu lucid [05:51] eph3meral: overkill [05:51] XFCE is nice for a lightweight [05:51] actually gnome3 is about as bad as unity [05:51] igor_, You are just posting garbage do we have to call the ops? [05:52] Xfce [05:52] RingingEars: actually XFCE isn't really just lightweight, it just works better, in so many ways [05:52] eph3meral: pity all those mint converts didn't realize that (re: gnome) [05:52] GNOME3 went the Apple "you use it like we say you use it" route, and I can't stand it [05:52] I am trying to avoid a complete fresh install again, as I have just one / partition, any help? [05:52] yeh I worked with a mint user recently… haven't tried it myself [05:52] GNOME was already pretty Mac OS oriented, but abandoning all that code was drastic [05:53] neo1691: what's up? [05:53] I prefer server usually and package upgrades, and actually I really do like having the xubuntu install at the base - I think this is the first time I've ever actually done this fresh [05:53] I usually install xfce after the fact but the packages never seem to work out right in the end [05:54] neo1691: "I am trying to avoid a complete fresh install again" <- words of doom [05:54] what time is it? [05:54] lol, just, srsly, from experience - you don't use linux because it's easy or doesn't require time === AndroUser2 is now known as pusicanu [05:54] igor_: time for you to be quiet? :p [05:54] mmm, and IME you don't reinstall [05:54] es q no los entiendo [05:54] :S [05:54] unless you change hardware architecture [05:55] arquitectura hardware [05:55] eph3meral: Any way to backup my data? /home partition, or should I just install a different desktop like gnome? [05:55] I've had no issues with GNOME 3.6, but that's just me. 3.8 is buggy (for me) [05:56] neo1691: sure, buy a backup drive? [05:56] It's trivial to install other desktops neo1691 [05:56] bye friends [05:56] neo1691: buy a thumb drive? burn a CD? burn a DVD? upload it to the cloud? [05:56] DVD [05:56] more capacity [05:56] :P [05:56] the cloud? [05:56] not [05:56] spy in the cloud [05:57] I will first install a different desktop, if it works, I will stick to else, else a fresh install seems inevitable [05:57] Yeah.. Right... [05:57] neo1691: I highly suggest starting to use separate system and "files" drives - ideally completely separate physical drives, but just separate partitions is fine as well [05:57] External use hd are very handy and affordable [05:58] eph3meral: I learned that after installing ubuntu, the hard way :P [05:58] neo1691: that's what she said [05:58] :S [05:58] eph3meral: yeah, why do you suggest that?

[06:11] DevotedBoyfriend what is the laptop model? and how do you say that it can't connect to internet? [06:11] eph3meral, it should be sudo apt-get install flashplugin-installer [06:12] I have gone about this in myriad different ways, I know there are at least like 2 different types of packages in the repos (usually) and also the option of just going to adobe.com (sometimes) [06:12] kari: k [06:12] I'm on 13.04 I guess I'll give it a shot [06:14] kari: what about for MP3? for whatever reason neither install checkbox works for me during install [06:14] so I have to download updates and non-free after [06:14] per community/SoundTroubleshooting: I can play sound as root, but not as myself and I'm in the `audio` group.

[06:46] z8z what you mean? [06:46] like multiple version of the same os on one dvd? [06:46] ubuntu has at most the dvd installation which contains most popular packages [06:47] Debian has 10 DVD which contains all the packages of any standard repos [06:47] you looking at deploring these were there is no network connection? [06:48] yep [06:48] but i need to make sure i have everything with me [06:48] any possible package [06:49] oic [06:49] wow i think that extremely hard to do [06:49] but someone in here might no a better answer [06:49] but if you can point me in the right direction for this debian copy [06:50] i don't see it on debian.org [06:50] z8z: you could sync the repo and create a local repo [06:50] z8z: apt-mirror [06:50] 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] log^ [06:50] 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] Augurnz: what should be the problem there? dont understand the question [06:51] yeah i know that. I just wanted to know if dvd iso exist [06:51] z8z: not will all packages [06:51] iceroot: the ampersand is reserved for something in sed [06:51] Augurnz: escape it [06:51] Augurnz: see also #sed [06:51] thanks iceroot [06:52] iceroot_: sad :( [06:52] Augurnz: i guess it would be s/he\&llo/hello/ [06:52] z8z: normally there is no need [06:52] z8z: and you can use apt-mirror [06:52] z8z: the dvd will contain old packages after some days and then you have security issues and so on [06:52] iceroot: yeah, I should have thought of that, been trying for a while now [06:52] apt-cacher-ng is a handy tool also z8z [06:53] iceroot_: so with apt-mirror i can create a folder full with packages and carry around right? [06:53] z8z: yes [06:53] z8z: it will create a local repository [06:54] looks like the debian package your were selecting if you buy the cd from on of the venders [06:54] z8z: you can add it then in your /etc/apt/sources.list [06:54] iceroot_: cool...so i'd better try that [06:55] z8z: but it may be something like 50GB [06:55] iceroot_: yeah i'm expecting something like that :D [06:56] 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? [06:57] there are source repos [06:57] z8z: you mean the source packages? [06:58] iceroot_: yeah ... how those works? [06:58] z8z: i guess "sudo apt-get source *" [06:58] z8z: it will not work with normal packages because of conflicts [06:58] z8z: but with sources packages it should work [06:58] z8z: maybe bash will not execute it because of "too many arguments" [06:58] iceroot_: lol [06:59] iceroot_: ok so i'll give a try to that too thanks [06:59] z8z: but you really mean source package? it is something different then a *.deb package [06:59] iceroot_: yeah i mean that === onekt2 is now known as onekt [07:06] anyone know if crossfire works with 7950s === ubuntu is now known as Guest70362 === jagger|away is now known as jagger [07:17] Hi guys.

However, the modem didn't switch in both the cases.. Finally, I tried it after removing the modeswitch packages completely and now it detects fine.. [09:29] purezen: what version of ubuntu are you running? [09:29] ActionParsnip, I tried it on both quantal and raring.. [09:30] histo, Am currently talking from quantal.. [09:30] Btw.. there is one thing.. [09:31] purezen: Have you tried raring or a more upstream distro?

[09:34] Till now, I thought that the problem had to only deal with usb_modeswitch and in that package in Launchpad, bug-reporting is disabled.. [09:34] Where shall I file a bug in this case..? [09:34] a normal install can work angs [09:35] dr_willis, I have never done it before. is there any specific instruction that I can follow?

[09:41] purezen: usb-modeswitch [09:41] Here's my dmesg output and gnome-ppp log.. http://pastebin.com/r0ww8NGQ [09:42] ActionParsnip, Can I just ask why in usb-modeswitch..? Because the modem does not work even after being detected.. [09:43] 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..? [09:45] ActionParsnip, Just curious..:-) [09:45] 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) [09:46] purezen: so either the device isnt getting flipped, or the modem is not correctly detected after the flip [09:47] what is the difference between w and W SWITCHES? [09:47] what is the difference between w and W SWITCHES [09:47] -W [09:47] -w [09:47] ActionParsnip, You mean something like the usbserial driver is concerned here..?

[10:26] Lope: I think that'll format it. do you mean to umount /tmp and crypt it's /dev/ entry? (you'll probably lose any saved data that was in /tmp, and it will have no filesystem). [10:26] hello [10:26] 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.) [10:27] Supaplex. no I want to create a truecrypt file thats all. I don't want to mount it yet. [10:28] 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] Lope: I don't have that installed (I use luks myself). sorry :) [10:28] what is luks? [10:28] tgary, are you choosing the kde desktop at login or have you merely installed some kde pacjages [10:29] tgary: right click file -> open with then select the app and that the association should be remembered [10:29] !luks [10:29] Lope: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Unified_Key_Setup [10:31] 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. [10:32] hey [10:32] 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.)

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] I mean, any build higher than 0.8 === Dawn_ is now known as Rarity [10:41] 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) [10:42] Lope, because count=0?

[10:43] Lope, this doesn't make it correct, does it? :D 2GB times 0 would be 0. [10:44] okay well now I just tried as a test, count=1G (and left out seek) [10:44] Lope, however it does work at my setup at least with 2M [10:44] Lope, probably your FS automagically handles sparse files? [10:45] Lope: try skip= instead of seek= [10:45] I'm using LVM [10:45] 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] killed it [10:47] 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] found a better command: fallocate -l 10G gentoo_root.img [10:47] http://i.imgur.com/5m7Yrd3.jpg [10:47] 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] anyone know who is this ? [10:47] Alphanerd: why post that ? [10:47] tgary, mc? [10:47] Alphanerd: this is #ubuntu - an ubuntu support channel [10:47] Alphanerd: Does that have anything to do with Ubuntu? [10:48] Landswellsong: ok will give fallocate a go.

To view it at any time after joining, simply type /topic [10:49] oh lol, ignore what I said earlier about the filesize going up to 10MB and down to zero again in a loop. was using gnome commander and it was truncating the number without giving me any idea that it was doing that. (silly UI) [10:49] Okay fallocate is super fast :) [10:50] Hello, my sound is cutting off after half a second [10:50] any audio source [10:51] I am using pulse audio [10:51] BluesKaj: The Midnight Commander..

[11:11] post [11:12] yes, but I'm not sure what you mean: you want me to write "options snd-hda-intel model=auto" into the config file? [11:12] programming group? [11:13] christos_: The same one you were twice earlier today, ##programming [11:13] FourFire, yes , then save it [11:13] ##programming [11:13] ii am writting the samee twice [11:13] and nothing [11:13] for this i am asking [11:14] christos_: Type '/join ##programming' without the ' [11:14] hmm it won't let me open that file even with root?

[11:18] FourFire: then it worked, cat the file to check it was added [11:18] yes it worked! [11:18] FourFire: it wasn't meant to output anything :). Tee outputs to the stdout as well as the thing you add to, so I piped to /dev/null to keep things tidy [11:18] Thanks ActionParsnip and BluesKaj !

[11:25] BluesKaj: sure, if you use CLI a lot you get commands in bash history which you can copy / edit and run similar commands over and over [11:26] 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] Ultimate4, not adviseable [11:27] Ultimate4, best practice is to torrent the 12.04 ISO, make a boot usb and clean install [11:27] Ultimate4: could drop to root recovery mode and run: sudo apt-get -f install [11:27] Ultimate4: if its only the download stage then you should be ok [11:27] Ultimate4, best to assume the aborted upgrade is fragged but you could try it. expect unforeseen consequences [11:27] cfhowlett: its only the download stage, not install [11:28] ActionParsnip: Yes, it was only in download stage and it wasn't even completed. I am sure about that. [11:28] ActionParsnip, noted. I figure scrambled packages are the order , but it is his machine ... [11:31] 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 ? [11:32] BluesKaj: "history" command, or ~/.bash_history file === linuxuz3r_ is now known as linuxuz3r [11:34] Ultimate4: try: sudo apt-get -f install so you know packages are square then rerun the upgrade like you did before [11:35] BluesKaj: you can also pipe history to grep to search for old commands [11:35] ActionParsnip: Can i run this command in normal user mode or should i reboot my PC and enter into recovery mode? [11:35] Ultimate4: try on the normal desktop [11:36] 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] chalu: why do you not have a backup of the files? [11:37] 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] I have some, but there are some I forgot to backup. I did not know the wubi installation will fail to boot [11:37] chalu: if you mount your NTFS, you can then mount the wubi disk file and access the data [11:38] chalu: I suggest you review your backup regime, it is clearly not fit for purpose [11:38] chalu, wubi has a documented history of being suboptimal. you might want to do a normal dual boot or consider virtualbox for ubuntu [11:39] he already has done [11:39] 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] chalu wubi is a windows application, it's not a real ubuntu installation [11:40] ok, if wubi is a windows application, then it certainly keeps my ubuntu-based files somewhere [11:41] `sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/example.com/access.log | grep -v "/favicon.ico"` works, but `sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/example.com/access.log | grep -v "/favicon.ico" | grep -v zite.com` filters everything and gives no output. I switched the second grep to "grep A" (which should match Aug in ever line's date, and I still get nothing. (yes, I am forcing requests via curl, so I know I should be seeing something). removing the `grep -v favico [11:41] chalu, inside a wubi based folder in your windows subdirectory [11:42] sorry am very new to ubuntu [11:42] gp5st: is the log file not readable by user? [11:42] ok. so if I boot into windows and locate the wubi installation folder, how do I proceed from there pls? [11:43] chalu: in the wubi.dsk or root.dsk file. I forget which [11:43] ActionParsnip: It's an apache access log, so no, it's not [11:43] ok, [11:43] thanks a lot [11:43] chalu: the files are in the wubi folder in the root of your windows partition [11:43] let me try it [11:43] gp5st: just checkin [11:44] gp5st: why not use: sudo tail -f /var/log/apache2/example.com/access.log | egrep -v 'favicon.ico|zite.com' [11:45] ok, I just saw a root.disk file that is about 32GB, guess thats the file ? [11:45] ActionParsnip: ::shrug:: didn't think about it. I normally build up a command at a time. Still a confusing problem:-\ [11:46] ActionParsnip: good workaround though. That does work === bubulle_ is now known as leagris [11:50] chalu: boot native linux, mount windows partition, then lo-mount root.disk [11:50] gp5st: you might use "grep --line-buffered ..." [11:50] llutz: i'll check that [11:51] 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] llutz: cool, that worked:) [11:53] gp5st: common problem, programs buffer output and don't write byte by byte immediately. that's why grep fails then [11:55] chalu: sudo mount -o loop /win/c/../root.disk /some/folder/you/access [11:55] someone installed nconf on a system and I am trying to find out where it actually located ... how might I go about this? [11:57] chalu: paths are not literal, informational, change accordingly [11:57] ok [11:57] giving it a trial [11:57] zetheroo1: Maybe "dpkg -L nconf" will show where its installed [11:58] or locate nconf === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [11:59] DJones: what if it was installed from a tar and not from the repos ... would that make a diff? === kcristiano_ is now known as kcrist [12:00] zetheroo1: I suspect dpkg wouldn't know about the package in that case [12:00] ok [12:00] is there then a way to search for nconf on the root filesystem? [12:01] zetheroo1: Have you tried the command BluesKaj suggested [12:01] zetheroo1: find / -name nconf* [12:01] ciao [12:01] !list [12:01] flying: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ». If you're looking for a channel, see « /msg ubottu !alis ». [12:01] DJones: ah just saw that now ... [12:02] ok I found it [12:02] it was installed into /root/nconf [12:03] chalu: check output of mount command if you cant find win partition path [12:03] 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 [12:04] sudo mount -o loop rook.disk /opt also failed with the same so such file / directory error [12:04] chalu: use full paths, and dont use /opt, create something in your home folder [12:05] 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] chalu: Not sure if that was a typo, you've got rook.disk rather than root.disk [12:05] chalu: did you cd to the containing folder first? [12:05] chalu: use TAB to autocomplete file names [12:06] yes, am inside media/Acer/ubuntu/disks which contains the root.disk file [12:06] chalu: sudo mkdir /media/wubi; sudo mount -o loop ./root.disk /media/wubi [12:07] chalu: if you get no output, it worked [12:07] chalu: can you see why a good backup is a good thing now? [12:08] chalu, or perhaps it's time to remind you: wubi is for TESTING ubuntu not for long-term or permanent installation. [12:11] hi guys, my SSD drive is not being reconized by kubuntu installer, any idea? [12:11] it says that I don't have enough space for installation. And it's a 120GB drive [12:11] I never use Wubi. just guessing lo mount may work... or not. [12:12] frinott: what do you mean with that?. I'm running a live session now [12:13] the way wubi mounts disks is not stable. something experimental. [12:13] shouldn't I format it before mount it? === zz_DenBeiren is now known as DenBeiren [12:13] what's wubi? [12:13] !who [12:13] As you can see, this is a large channel. If you're speaking to someone in particular, please put their nickname in what you say (use !tab), or else messages get lost and it becomes confusing :) [12:14] ok. I made a wubi folder in my current location /media/Acer/ubuntu/disks [12:14] sudo mount -o loop ./root.disk /wubi gave an error [12:14] wrong fs type, bad option, bad superblock on /dev/loop0, [12:14] missing codepage or helper program, or other error [12:14] In some cases useful info is found in syslog - try [12:14] dmesg | tail or so [12:15] chalu: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [12:15] ooops, sorry [12:16] chalu: are there other files next to root.disk? if yes, what are their names? [12:17] ok, there's a boot folder, root.disk, swap.disk and the new wubi folder I just added [12:17] you did wrong [12:18] wubi folder was not meant to be created there [12:18] hai friends when i unzip a file using command line like unzip the folder inside archive is not extracting but i can do it by right click and uncompress how to do it in command way [12:18] hello, which firewall should i use for ubuntu/kubuntu? [12:18] ok, removing it [12:18] !firewall|zea, [12:18] zea,: 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 [12:19] cfhowlett: is there a kde gui?

I am concerend with group access. So valid users @mp3 and chmod ???:mp3. should I use root? or nobody? or my user or something else? [15:19] 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] myou: where do you see the 'output name'? [15:20] xrandr [15:20] Boogery: i wouldnt use root [15:20] xrandr | grep ' connected' | grep DVI [15:20] this oututs the display name [15:20] myou: can you paste the line? [15:20] which changes every time I suspend the machine [15:20] how do i get ubuntu to generate /dev entries for partitions on my drives? [15:20] DVI-0 connected 1440x900+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 408mm x 255mm [15:20] Mace268: what makes you think it hasn't? [15:21] right now is 0 [15:21] Anyone tried photoshop with wine? Or should I setup virtual machine with windows to use it without problems? [15:21] fdisk shows the partition but it's not listed in /dev [15:21] next time I suspend is going to be DVI-1 [15:21] !appdb | columb [15:21] columb: The Wine Application DB is a database of applications and help for !Windows programs that run under !WINE: http://appdb.winehq.org - Join #winehq for application help [15:21] 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] all my window manager rules then get broken [15:22] myou: and then you run some command to fix it? [15:22] auronandace, could you confirm that you run photoshop under wine without issues? [15:22] right now I run a script that changes the i3 configuration and restarts the window manager [15:22] 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] columb: i don't run photoshop at all, try asking in #winehq [15:22] it works but is quirky [15:22] 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] columb: works fine in a VM for certain [15:22] I was hoping to solve the problem with a udev rule [15:22] columb: http://appdb.winehq.org/objectManager.php?sClass=application&iId=17 lists several platinum ratings, which means perfection [15:22] and was wondering if it was possible [15:24] 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] Boogery: I would usually create an account for the purpose [15:25] Boogery: but its always a trade of from usablility to security [15:26] mjayk: I was thinking "smbuser" fos an account name. But yes, it is one more account to be hacked [15:27] mjayk: thanks for the help. I think smbuser with no shell access will do the job. [15:27] Boogery: nps hope it helps hf [15:27] does anybody know if it is possible to pin the monitor output name by using a udev rule. My displaylink monitor changes the name every time I suspend the machine. The first time is DPI-0 then DPI-1 ecc . Thank you. [15:27] myou: any use? http://stackoverflow.com/questions/5469828/how-to-create-a-callback-for-monitor-plugged-on-an-intel-graphics [15:29] 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] 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. [15:30] I was searching online but all I find are rules for block devices or ethernet ports [15:30] no display outputs [15:30] Mace268: pastebin fdisk output [15:30] I'll continue to search [15:31] thank you guys =) bye [15:31] myou: right, but it explains how to make a rule quite similar to what I imagine you'd want [15:32] I'll check that agian reisio [15:32] thank you [15:32] the partitions seemed to have disappeared. any way to get them back? [15:32] Mace268: in fdisk? [15:33] with any method, is there a partition rescue for ubuntu? [15:33] Possibly; it depends on how brave you feel like [15:34] or should i boot with my acronis disk manager [15:34] Rule 1 is make an iso of the disk and then work on it [15:34] ok [15:34] So to avoid making it any worse [15:35] Mace268: partition? No, but IIRC it installs by default with a rescue _mode_ (that is, boot options) [15:35] Then you can start light and throw fsck at it. ext4/3/jfs? [15:36] ntfs :S [15:37] Mace268: did you run sudo with fdisk? [15:37] yes [15:38] i just looked and i do have a current backup of the data on that partition. probably just as easy to repartition and restore.

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] 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] sudarshan: don't suggest chmod 777, its nonsense in most cases [16:23] ok then what is preferable? [16:23] instead of 777 [16:23] sudarshan: depends on the situation, keep it as restricted as possible [16:23] AlHafoudh: have you added the boot option: ipv6.disable=1 [16:24] sudarshan: using correct groups and access [16:24] sudarshan: least access [16:24] 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] sometimes *.js files becomes not accessible by apache webserver. [16:25] ok sorry dont use chmod 777 even I also will stop using it. [16:25] sudarshan: it is especially bad for public facing services like apache. Yeah give EVERYBODY full access.... think about it [16:25] 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] sudarshan: webserver runs as www-data/www-data, so just make sure that user/group can _read_ your files [16:25] sudarshan: no need to give write-access etc.pp [16:25] You are not running WinXP [16:26] can anyone suggest me some good place where to get reference of all this. [16:26] Here's a question: I help run a website completely run by an Ubuntu server [16:27] so would it hurt if we moved some stuff over to something...not Ubuntu?

If I do it anywhere else it works. (/home/bob is ecryptfs) how can I allow foo to access /home/bob/foo? [16:28] foreverphysics: paths and some small config stuff might change [16:28] yeah, that did the trick ActionParsnip [16:28] Nah, it's more that the server keeps crashing... [16:28] but otherwise you are good [16:28] sudarshan: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2338641/in-a-php-apache-linux-context-why-exactly-is-chmod-777-dangerous [16:29] Lope: why 777 ? [16:29] is it 777 day today or something?? [16:29] 'sake [16:29] should i type the two commands: "sudo ufw allow X on tun0 from any to any" with X=in and X=out, in order to allow all connections from and to my VPN (openvpn with network-manager)? [16:30] ActionParsnip: to leave no doubt that its a Posix permission issue. [16:30] 777 is full access of file to everyone.. As suggested don't use it [16:30] Lope: what is the output of: ls -l /home/bob/foo [16:30] sudarshan: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_permissions is a good start === tjbiddle_ is now known as tjbiddle [16:31] ActionParsnip: nothing, its empty. but there is no error.

[16:36] 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!!! [16:37] 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] 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) === ese is now known as Rope === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [16:38] javier_: leave unpartitioned space, it'll be ok. Not sure how this is Ubuntu related as you are installing WIndows [16:38] daftykins, so, I should just delete the partition (using gparted for instance) and tell the installer to use the free space... [16:39] ActionParsnip, I'm sorry, I thought was the right place to ask about it. My apologies [16:39] daftykins, thanks! [16:39] javier_: try in ##windows [16:39] ActionParsnip, thanks for the advise, won't happen again [16:39] javier_: if you already have Ubutnu installed, you will need to put grub on the MBR as the Windows installer will blindly overwrite it [16:40] 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] sudarshan, thanks! I was counting on that from my previous experience :) but thanks for the advise! [16:41] creating live usb installing boot repair into it and replacing grub using boot repair is the easy way. [16:41] 306 games run whit wine, 110 linux native games instaled in my kubuntu 10.04 [16:41] sudarshan, yes, I will do exactly like that. My boot cd is already waiting [16:41] dirac: shame 10.04 is EOL and no longer supported [16:42] 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] wilee-nilee: might be XP ;) [16:42] wilee-nilee: oh it is 7 [16:42] wilee-nilee: yeah the boot recovery partition, or whatever its called [16:42] ActionParsnip, Heh yah. ;) [16:43] ActionParsnip, Lets call it the bit defender partition, thats all its for except maybe a recovery on a oem. [16:44] or whatever that windows encryption is called [16:45] sudo chown {username} /var/www [16:45] thanks [16:46] does anyone know the command to stop LAMP [16:46] apathe php and mysql [16:46] oz__: sudo service apache2 stop [16:46] oz__: you stop apache and mysql as two different things === ubuntu is now known as Guest34601 [16:46] oz__: lamp is not a service, it's a group of applications [16:47] oh , true === Thor^^ is now known as Thor [16:47] ActionParsnip, I meant that first post at the user, its a bit early here, no caffeine yet. ;) === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [16:54] can I install ubuntu on a hardrive where one partition is used by windows for storage? [16:54] rebar, Sure. [16:55] hmm, how do I choose that partition to install to from the 13.04 installasion? [16:55] im after a nice gui to stop and start all lamp applications. Does anyone know anything? [16:55] I just get option to "install along windows" "replace windows with ubuntu" and then "something else" [16:55] rebar: I'd do something else myself [16:55] oz__: you're performing actions that are typically command line level server administrator ones, you should really learn to do it right or not at all [16:55] the partition is unallocated [16:56] rebar: the something else implies "manual" partitioning, which amounts to saying where you want / and swap to be, basically [16:57] okay, I dosen't understand how this part work. I know wht swap, home, root etc is [16:57] daftykins: ok. i'll take that on bord [16:57] I guess I have allocate the "free space" with a file system first? [16:57] but what should I choose? [16:57] ext4? [16:58] I use Ubuntu 13.04.It was working well 2 weeks ago but suddenly slowed down.Browser & all application open too slowly.ANy help? [16:58] rebar: ext4 is a good default choice [16:58] rebar: yep make a / (root) partition of ext4 [16:58] rebar: you'll see something like http://radu.cotescu.com/uploads/wpuploads/2009/06/Ubuntu-partitions.png [16:58] rebar: one will be ntfs already, that's your Windows' storage partition, leave that alone [16:58] rebar: and make two new ones, one ext4 with Used set to '/' (root), and one swap [16:59] and any others you might want [17:02] making the swap partition now, what type should it be? ,primary, logical and beginning of this space or end of this space [17:03] logical, equal to your RAM size or to a max of 4GB [17:05] Could somebody explain to me how I remove all my old wireless drivers and exclusively use b43 [17:05] my battery slows down faster on ubuntu ! can you help me ?

I selected "try to install ubuntu", then the screen goes to black and nothing appears. what's wrong with it [18:02] angs: how long did you leave it? [18:02] Hi there [18:02] 5-10 min === companion is now known as Companion [18:02] I'm launching a command in gnome-terminal from inside a shell script [18:02] problem is, when the command executed by the terminal ends, the terminal closes [18:02] is it installing or is it failing I could not understand. doesn't it suppose to show this window http://pix.toile-libre.org/upload/original/1347270713.png === lux_ is now known as Guest90687 [18:03] I would like to set a prompt for that, so that I can see what has happened in the terminal window during the command execution [18:03] does the sudo apt command only search for packages in the ubuntu software center? [18:03] rebar .. in the repositories you hold [18:03] I run the command like this in my script « gnome-terminal -e titanium sdk update » [18:04] all the ops on freenode are a bunch of gay faggots === tBKwtWS is now known as Guest64537 [18:12] how can i add a user to sudoers? [18:12] Thanksss [18:12] sudoers is a group? [18:15] geri_ type visudo on terminal [18:15] ok i did [18:15] find the 'root' entry [18:15] why root? [18:15] i want to add user gerald to run sudo.. [18:15] just to organize the file [18:15] geri_: you can add them to the 'sudo' group if this is a recent verion of Ubuntu [18:15] geri_: or if its an older version, it is the admin group. [18:15] pici there is no sudo group exisiting [18:16] geri_: Which release of Ubuntu is this? [18:16] pici red hat :) [18:16] Isn't the sudo group "wheel"? [18:16] When trying to browse a windows workgroup Im unable, respomse is failed to retrieve list from server, connection timed out. Any ideas on how to correct ... Ive googled and tried many things and to no avail nothing works, I can browse an NT domain but not a local Windows network, can ping local machines ... used to be able to see ... but now I cant .. this happens often since 12.04 ... currently on 13.04 [18:16] i found wheel [18:16] geri_: Then why are you asking in here? This is #ubuntu [18:16] geri, add user to wheel [18:16] pici i know should be simillar [18:16] geri_: they're not [18:16] Pici: i found wheel [18:16] so next? [18:17] Try using sudo with that account === benjamino is now known as benjamisto [18:17] . [18:18] is umuntu better than linux? [18:18] =( [18:18] who kicked me out? [18:18] govinda_: pardon? [18:18] geri_ i always used the sudo including the username to visudo command [18:18] geri_: Redhat isn't supported in this channel [18:18] geri_: We do not support redhat here. End of discussion. [18:18] good [18:18] locate the "root ALL=(ALL) ALL" entry [18:18] Govinda, Ubuntu is a Linux distro [18:19] darghor: root? [18:19] and add a new line with user ALL=(ALL) ALL [18:19] geri_ just to keep the organization of the file [18:19] darghor: IF you want to support geri_ in PM, thats fine, but please keep redhat support out of this channel. [18:19] Hi [18:19] They have their own channels for support. [18:19] ok, sorry [18:21] can i istall umunto on my phon? [18:21] Pici, Crindle: cd /etc/apache2/conf.d/ [18:21] ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf phpmyadmin should this do it? [18:22] govinda_, what is umunto? [18:22] the other windows [18:22] for hackers [18:22] oz__: do phpmyadmin.conf instead of something without an extension [18:22] o.O [18:23] So I have a bit of a dilemia. In an attempt to back something up (irronic huh) I ran tar -xzvf only I put the name of the file in which I wan't to archive first then the nonexistant file I wanted to create after by mistake. Thus I believe I partially overwrote the important file I intended to backup (oops). Would there be any way I could mabey recover at least some of the data? I don't believe I completly overwrote it. [18:23] pici: to the phpmyadmin in the www folder? === rahul is now known as Guest79209 [18:24] minidino, that command unzips a file. If it wasn't zipped it shouldn't have done anything. [18:24] oz__: just no... do: ln -s /etc/phpmyadmin/apache.conf /etc/apache2/conf.d/phpmyadmin.conf [18:24] oz__: with sudo of course [18:24] Wulframn: my bad I ment -czvf === jackie is now known as Guest77046 [18:24] was what I ran [18:24] grr im making /all/ the mistakes today... [18:25] Have you attempted to verify the contents of the file? They are corrupt? [18:25] minidino: data is likely gone forever [18:25] what if it was not completely overwritten? [18:26] wouldn't some of it still exist just be counted as free space? [18:26] Was it a single file? Or a directory? [18:26] single file [18:26] it was actually a truecrypt container though so I'm thinking it might be gone at this point [18:26] It is probably corrupt enough to warrant writing... [18:27] FFR, attempting to tab complete files you expect to NOT exist will confirm whether they truly do not exist [18:27] oh [18:27] just tab completing in general will remind your brain of reality [18:27] Well, if it was previously encrypted then it was corrupted it's gone. [18:27] pici: localhost/phpmyadmin Forbidden [18:27] oz__: did you restart apache2 after making that symlink? [18:27] Wulframn: what do you mean corrupted exactly [18:28] pici: no. i'll do that now [18:28] Wait, do you have a really powerful electron microscope, a lab full of top-notch computer forensics experts, and more money than you know what to do with? [18:29] Wulframn: lol [18:29] and the ability to pretend any of that matters [18:29] https://gist.github.com/nicksloan/0289208ef15552f77dd3 df and du seem to be having a disagreement on math [18:29] If not then it's worth just writing off. Sorry buddy [18:29] when data is overwritten, it is gone, 99 times out of 100 [18:30] but what if it wasn't completly overwritten? [18:30] it should be noted that a separate device is mounted at /mnt [18:30] minidino: then some of it is left [18:30] minidino: was the cumulative file size of the second param less than that of the first? [18:30] pici: now it's a 404 [18:30] my root device is /dev/md5. it's defined in fstab as /dev/md5. I'm receiving a warning when I run update-intiramfs "cryptsetup: WARNING: failed to detect canonical device of /dev/md5" should I be referencing the uuid for md5 instead of the device itself? I.E. $ blkid /dev/md5 /dev/md5: UUID="5d79c9fb-b720-4895-b48a-4404b1ec9358" TYPE="ext4" === dpac is now known as dpac|away [18:31] minidino: there's testdisk, may help. or not [18:31] what is ldap? [18:31] jefgy, UUID is preferable [18:31] I tried playing with miredo, and now i can't access the Internet (PCs on the LAN are OK). I suspect some config file got broken, but i can't figure out which. Ping by name fails with a DNS error, ping by IP has 100% packet loss. I tried reinstalling and removing packages, dpkg-reconfigure -a, disabling and blacklisting IPv6 and rebooting. What, besides reinstalling, should i try next? [18:31] nicksloan: well they are different programs... [18:33] So am I correct to think that the size of the first minus the size of the second file would mabey still be on the HDD just counted as freespace by the filesystem? [18:33] reisio: that's fair. I'm just trying to figure out why df can tell that my file system is full, but I can't find what is taking all of the space up [18:33] nicksloan: on Ubuntu? [18:33] use 'baobab' [18:33] oz__: hmm. What does ls -l /usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php say? [18:34] minidino, you may get better help over in #linux. None of us here are really data recovery experts AFAIK [18:34] Wulframn: should I be using the uuid displayed by mdadm --detail /dev/md5 or the uuid from blkid /dev/md5? [18:34] Hello, hello! You are all cordially invited to the legendary humour website YTMND.com! Please register today! [18:34] and thank you [18:35] jefgy, I am unsure [18:35] nicksloan: it's real close to 6.6G by my math [18:35] pici: ls: cannot access /usr/share/phpmyadmin/index.php: No such file or directory [18:35] oz__: How did you install phpmyadmin? [18:36] pici:lamp [18:36] reisio: excluding /mnt, which is /dev/sdb1 [18:36] ? [18:36] oz__: Thats an acronym. Thats not an install method. Did you use tasksel? Did you use apt? Did you download some random thing off the internet and try to install it? [18:37] nicksloan: no including [18:37] that's the issue here… I can't see how it's getting there at all without including /mnt [18:37] pici: apt [18:37] nicksloan: what makes you think /mnt is /dev/sdb1 ? [18:38] oz__: What does apt-cache policy phpmyadmin say? [18:38] pici: i used sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ === jack is now known as Guest97864 [18:39] pici: should i have used 'sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ phpmyadmin' [18:40] oz__: the lamp-server task doesn't include phpmyadmin. [18:40] reisio: sorry, /dev/sdb. See update: https://gist.github.com/nicksloan/0289208ef15552f77dd3 [18:40] oz__: so I'm not sure why you have anything in /etc/phpmyadmin/ if thats the case. [18:41] 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? [18:42] pici: i must have had it installed before and removed it using package manager [18:42] the last two were run at the same time. [18:42] well, sequentially [18:42] oz__: thats possible. So just do sudo apt-get install phpmyadmin and then you should be set. [18:42] (I'm manually obscuring my hostname, in case you noticed that. [18:42] that makes the last two relevant to one another, and not what precedes them [18:42] hey [18:42] run them all at once please [18:43] hey, killer [18:43] * reisio always wanted to say that [18:43] ffmpeg is unable to convert mp4 to avi format , I think I need some gstreamer plugins [18:43] ciao [18:43] killer: or a proper ffmpeg install [18:43] killer: but why would you want avi, mp4 is better [18:44] reisio: hmm, well, in the meantime, I've stopped postgres, and umounted /mnt/pgstorage and /mnt [18:44] killer, just use VLC to play the mp4 files [18:45] nicksloan: when trying to make things add up, you should really only care about the present [18:45] because things change over time === Companion is now known as companion [18:45] and now df is reporting that /dev/sda1 is 22%, instead of 88% immediately prior to unmounting === alexander is now known as Guest14100 [18:47] pici: thanks man! [18:48] remounting them left it at 22% [18:48] very weird [18:48] hello? [18:48] Hi! [18:49] im havbing a problem where my display isnt being show correctly [18:49] anyone here familiar with iptables persistant w/in ubuntu [18:49] its being wrapped around the screen and separated by a black line [18:49] !ask | uberk [18:49] uberk: 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 [18:49] when i take a screencap, it appears fine though === qos is now known as qos|away === zenix` is now known as zenix`away [18:51] nicksloan, was that directed to me? [18:51] anyone here familiar with iptables persistant w/in ubuntu -> seen multiple ways with multiple persistant files /etc/iptables-up.rules, /etc/iptables.up.rules, /etc/iptables/rules, /etc/iptables/rules.v4 -> which of these is correct if I want to use the iptables-persistent service to enable them upon reboot [18:53] I have windows on my laptop and I would like it to have double boot windows and ubuntu. I inserted a bootable ubuntu usb pendrive then selected "install ubuntu alongside windows8".when I reboot the laptop, it does not show the boot menu and it only boots from windows 8. how can I make it doal boot? [18:53] hello everybody [18:53] <_andyj_> bkfitz: are you using ufw? [18:53] uberk: nope [18:54] !grub | angs [18:54] angs: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [18:54] bkfitz, you can just add iptables manually and then do "iptables-save" [18:54] _andyj_: no [18:54] <_andyj_> bkfitz: as ezra-s said... iptables-save and iptables-restore [18:54] hey joe [18:54] i need help with my computer [18:54] <_andyj_> bkfitz: ufw does this for you [18:54] what's wrong? [18:54] _andyj_: yeah ufw blows [18:55] i want to install a theme on gnome [18:55] i run fdisk -l but it does not show any output!? [18:55] !ask | joe [18:55] joe: 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 [18:55] How do I get cron to stop spamming my syslog with job announcements that run every single minute? [18:55] but i didnt have a .themes folder [18:55] geri_, try it with sudo first [18:55] so i made one in the correct dictionary [18:55] 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 [18:56] oh [18:56] <_andyj_> bkfitz: to each their own, all of the firewalls use iptables on the back end pretty much [18:56] ^^ [18:56] then, i looked for it at tweak tools but i cant find it [18:56] _andyj_: yeah... i mean ufw is fine but i had problems getting it to run on reboot [18:56] angs: can you tell if you installed ubuntu in UEFI mode? [18:57] <_andyj_> bkfitz: that's odd, it should have added itself to your init when you installed it === mathisen is now known as Mathisen [18:57] _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 [18:58] 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] help? [18:59] 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] angs: you said you installed ubuntu alongside windows 8 - correct? [18:59] ubuntu did not ask any option, just language, keyboard, location, name, password, etc. then hard disk size [18:59] so does anyone know which rules file iptables-persistant loads upon reboot in ubuntu [19:00] daftykins, yes after all it did not ask any other option [19:00] !uefi | angs [19:00] 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] angs: have a look there, it'll show you whether you would've booted in UEFI mode or not [19:01] daftykins,ok thank you. If I have UEFI, will I be no longer use the current bios? [19:01] the one that I have one [19:02] 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] 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] KenSharp: you can't view a TTY over a remote graphical protocol. [19:03] 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] daftykins: yes I can, it's a virtualbox image [19:04] anyonne having problem with 13.04 craching when using the file manager? [19:04] rebar, not me [19:05] rebar, try apt-get update && apt-get upgrade [19:05] really wierd, works perfect on my laptop but jsut craches on my pc [19:05] i guess no help [19:05] rebar, sometimes .config or something bellow goes wild [19:06] rebar, in the same pc try creating another account [19:06] and see if file manager crashes the same for that other user [19:06] if not.. then your cconfig is screwed [19:06] 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 [19:07] checking .xsession-errors might help too [19:07] _andyj_, I believe it does when you do iptables-save [19:07] it's been a while since I used it [19:08] so I can't say for sure [19:08] 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" ? [19:09] <_andyj_> iptables-save just outputs current loaded rules [19:09] 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] yeah, but I tried apt-get update and it crached during that [19:09] but ye, gonna try again [19:09] mmm [19:09] <_andyj_> oh nevermind it is saving to a default location [19:10] _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 [19:11] so I'll put the iptables-persistent in an init script and let it load the rules [19:11] 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] https://github.com/zertrin/iptables-persistent [19:13] <_andyj_> well that script says to put them at /etc/iptables/rules [19:13] <_andyj_> so iptables-save > /etc/iptables/rules [19:15] _andyj_: yep... should have googled it before coming here :) [19:15] <_andyj_> bkfitz: no worries, I do that sometimes too [19:18] 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? [19:19] <_andyj_> Oran: run ifconfig and check for an address not in 192.168.x.x, 172.16.x.x, 10.x.x.x [19:20] Oran: on server "curl ifconfig.me", use the ip shown [19:21] andyj_ i checked for the external ip every device got its like 77.x but it doesnt work (but i can ping it) [19:21] hi. an /etc/init.d/ script uwsgi is failing to start. how can i get more information about it's failure? [19:21] <_andyj_> Oran: did you start the ssh service? [19:21] 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 [19:22] i installed it and restarted the server andyj_ [19:22] When trying to browse a windows workgroup Im unable, respomse is failed to retrieve list from server, connection timed out. Any ideas on how to correct ... Ive googled and tried many things and to no avail nothing works [19:22] I can browse an NT domain but not a local Windows network [19:22] 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] rektide: No cursing in here please [19:23] IdleOne: help me and i go away [19:23] <_andyj_> Oran: sudo service ssh restart just to make sure it's running [19:23] :p [19:23] <_andyj_> Oran: if it is, you may need to allow ssh traffic through your firewall [19:23] i'm very curious whether this is uwsgi's overmechanization or whether ubuntu is to blame for this monstrosoity [19:23] frelling frak-bolted contraption is not easy to debug [19:24] 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] andyj_ i made portforwardinbg from port 22 to the server [19:24] what is ufw? [19:25] <_andyj_> Oran: default firewall wrapper for iptables [19:25] i can tell u the names of the routers or where does this this ufw runs? [19:26] <_andyj_> Oran: it's part of the default ubuntu server install [19:26] <_andyj_> I think [19:27] andyj_ ohh than the firewall gonna block me i guess === fizban__ is now known as ElFizbanio [19:30] are there any recording apps that are not 'recordmydesktop' [19:36] ElFizbanio, You might be specific for help, in the channel, linux has a lot apps in general, however recording the desktop is a bit this I believe [19:36] bit thin* [19:36] just something better to record my screen [19:38] ElFizbanio: Try aptitude search ~drecording [19:40] !screencast | dunno how updated this is, but [19:40] dunno how updated this is, but: Some programs to capture your screen are recordmydesktop, Istanbul, Wink, Xvidcap, pyvnc2swf.

[19:53] Mace268: Yeah, pretty much any problems were worked out a long time ago (as software goes). [19:54] Mace268: That's not saying there aren't inherent layer 8 problems. k3b's been good to me.

Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [20:08] is anyone here on saucy? I upgraded out of necessity a few days ago, and not being able to roll the mouse wheel on the volume icon to change the volume is really annoying. Am I experiencing a bug or is this just a poor design change, ala Nautilus? [20:09] 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] 13.10 | sqrt7744 [20:09] sqrt7744: You should ask that in #ubuntu+1 the people there are most likely to be using Saucy [20:09] could anyone point out where this is being set and how to fix this madness? [20:10] reisio: the problem being that it's a knackered X session so I can't enter any command at all :( [20:10] but i agree, that would be useful! :) [20:10] armin, you have to stop the daemon first [20:10] actually I think it doesn't matter , I understand that LM isn't supported here, but firstly I was trying ubuntu [20:10] armin, sudo service transmission-daemon stop [20:11] the problem is the same.. [20:11] I just need some good advice [20:11] armin, wait sorry i read your comment wrong [20:12] sqrt7744: http://krypton.darkbyte.org/foo.png [20:12] sqrt7744: that's what happens. [20:12] I installed the virtualenvwrapper package, but it didn't install the init scripts (at least from what I can see from dpkg -L output) [20:13] sqrt7744: i stop the daemon, change the permissions on settings.json to my liking, i start the service and it changes that back. [20:13] pip puts virtualenvwrapper.sh into /usr/local/bin, can't find i tthough [20:13] sqrt7744: and i would really like to know where that happens because it doesn't seem to occur in the init-script. [20:13] armin, yes i understand. i had a similar problem, trying to remember how I changed it. what exactly do you want to do? [20:15] armin, maybe you want to run the daemon as a different user? [20:16] armin, if so, ust edit /etc/init/transmission-daemon.conf and on the line after kill timeout 30, add (without quotes) "setuid yourusername" [20:17] italian chat?

I've noticed that whenever I try and use key spill mop-up kdenlvie crashes. I'm using the latest version from the kdenlive.org repos and ubuntu 13.04. Would anyone happen to know how to fix this? [20:38] there is no install files [20:39] yes unity [20:39] ChrisWere, contact the PPA owner, ppa's are unsupported here. [20:40] OerHeks: I've also tried the ubuntu repo version.

[20:40] but I have no idea how to check it [20:40] andrii, From what I see at best that card is problematic, you might consider a cheap usb plug and play wifi, I would. [20:41] ok, thanks [20:42] andrii, Just a suggestion, I'm not an expert here on wifi, so take that with the appropriate grains of salt. ;) [20:43] So what you say is, if vlc donst play it. It is unsuported?

[21:59] !jdk [21:59] !java [21:59] To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations.

[22:01] wilee-nilee, yeah that did it.. i guess upgrading to 13.04 removed some stuff i had. [22:01] ddssc: then you can ssh into the machine you want to copy FROM, sudo -i, then use scp to copy to the machine you want to copy to [22:01] t/y [22:02] sk1special, No problem, enjoy.

[22:16] 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] 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.

[22:19] !PPA | whirlybird contact the ppa developers [22:19] whirlybird contact the ppa developers: 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 [22:20] Celticswynd, Probably, just a guess though. [22:20] it's saying 'setting up' a bunch of things [22:21] 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. [22:22] 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] 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] i've installed openjdk but my JAVA_HOME is still pionting to the jre [22:23] Kalel, The channel wont. [22:23] 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] is there a command line tool for switching htat or should i hard set it [22:23] and I calmed down so thankyou on that end. [22:23] wilee-nilee: What are you talking about what I'm talking? [22:23] 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. [22:24] Kalel, The only kernels technically supported here are the stock ones. [22:24] try chaning java_home path "export _JAVA_HOME=dir to jdk folder" [22:24] I should be able to make a clone, I should have the space [22:25] Celticswynd, Preferably on a external HD. [22:25] Good idea, I'll have to save for one. [22:26] wilee-nilee: The updated automatically? [22:26] 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. [22:27] 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] Does anyone know if the ubuntu edge is compatible with AWS( 1700Mhz) frequency? I wouldn't want to donate and figure out that phone does not work on my carrier(if project is success) [22:27] wilee-nilee: I appreciated. [22:28] Kalel, Does ot mean you will get no help, just info, as far as will this work is a try it out scenario really. [22:28] not* [22:28] randomvisit: i doubt if theres much known at all about the device at this time. the official site may have some specs.. but theres only like 3 'made' right now. ;) [22:28] how do I find the location of a library I know to be present on my system? [22:29] wilee-nilee: Ok. I will not install the 3.10 kernel so. Empirically, I already crashed systems installing packages like that. [22:29] 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] how do I update /etc/passwd /etc/shadow if all I have is the user name and their encrypted passwd, is there an easy way to do that without rewriting the entire password files? [22:29] Kalel, It happens, sounds like you are savvy enough to deal with all this. ;) [22:29] h [22:29] hm [22:29] When I ssh into my Ubuntu server, sometimes my connection breaks with 'broken pipe' (when left idle). When I log back in and look at the running processes, it looks like the ssh daemon and bash session are still running. Should I kill them myself, or will they eventually disappear? [22:30] (I don't think there's a way of getting back to my bash session?) [22:30] wilee-nilee: Yes.. I think so.. :-) [22:30] how can i set menus to be visible all the time? [22:30] the two commands are done runing [22:30] do I have to restart? [22:31] Celticswynd, If you do it will tell you. [22:31] OK [22:31] it didn't so [22:31] I'll leave the chat up to see if Ubuntu runs now [22:31] Celticswynd, I suspect you are good to go run a suso apt-get update and look. [22:31] sudo* [22:32] passwd should take a literal encrypted password argument :( [22:32] so I don't have to know the passwords and I don't have to manually write passwd/shadow files [22:34] er the hash [22:35] An error occoured while attemptint to process this problem report: _init_{) takes from 1 to 6 positional arguments but 7 were given === marc_ is now known as Guest84966 [22:35] was wondering if there was a tool to set custom keys combos to do or start apps [22:35] THis popped up when I tried to run the Ubuntu software center [22:38] Celticswynd, How about the update command I gave you the software center has had small problems at times. [22:39] oO === kb3gtn|away is now known as kb3gtn [22:39] The update command seemed to have fixed most things, I can't get the Linux Secondlife to run now, When I click the file instead of giving me a popup asking weather I want to run it, or run in termenal, it just opens the file itself with a box with a bunch of text in it. [22:39] What can I do to fix the software center? [22:40] Celticswynd, I would look on the net for bugs I had one a while back that came up on the web. [22:42] I found the command to reinstall the Software center [22:43] AttributeError: 'gi.repository.GObject' object has no attribute 'GObjectMeta' [22:47] can i partition a hard disk with the ubuntu install dvd? [22:47] yes, it includes gparted [22:47] without installing an os? [22:47] Does anyone know how to get Secondlife to work on Ubuntu 1.04? [22:48] gah 13.04 [22:52] Is it possible to resize, create partitions on hot ? [22:52] zerick, depends on if they are "busy" [22:52] *head desk* now I have no sound [22:52] What the heck? [22:53] Celticswynd, alsa force-reload? [22:53] are you using the original viewer Celticswynd? [22:53] failmaster, "busy", how is that ? [22:53] Origonal veiwer to what? [22:53] zerick, e.g. mounted [22:53] force reload? [22:53] the second life viewer [22:53] Oh [22:54] I use Singularity [22:54] Celticswynd, Usage: /sbin/alsa {unload|reload|force-unload|force-reload|suspend|resume} [22:54] firestorm worked just fine for me [22:54] but before that - alsmixer [22:54] Is that a command? [22:54] i give up [22:55] I tried it and this is what I get [22:56] bash: suspend: cannot suspend: no job control [22:56] force-reload: command not found [22:56] force-unload: command not found [22:56] resume}: command not found [22:56] Usage:: command not found [22:56] reload: missing job name [22:56] Try `reload --help' for more information. [22:56] Celticswynd: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:56] "alsa force-reload" [22:56] -.- [22:56] failmaster, so, is not possible to do it if they are mounted [22:57] I'm really frustrated right now, there's no sound on this thing. [22:57] zerick, as far as i know - it's not possible [22:57] Wednesday, August 7, 2013: KDE SC 4.11 Final Tag... August 14, 2013: KDE SC 4.11 Release.. Anyone know when something other then beta 2 will be in the repo ? [22:58] zerick, btrfs partitions I believe the only ones you can resize mounted. [22:58] are* [22:59] yeah i would give it a try [22:59] ok young wilee-nilee [23:00] MichaelP, Number of kde channels maybe they know. [23:00] zerick, What;s that sonny let me turn up my hearing aid. ;) [23:00] and get off my lawn [23:00] Hello? [23:00] ;) [23:01] wilee-nilee: everyone in #kubuntu has not been able to speak for the last hour.. i think they died [23:01] alum [23:01] does the ubuntu install dvd support DVI? :) [23:02] MichaelP, With a quick channel search I saw kde channels you might look yourself. [23:02] geri_: pretty impossible to imagine otherwise [23:02] reisio: ? [23:02] Is there any way to get sound working on Ubuntu 13.04?

I use a DVI connection [23:04] MichaelP, I use an app that will do it I think that is the bots info you might need. [23:04] i already have another linux installed when i boot from the hdd it works fine [23:04] geri_: /msg ubottu nomodeset [23:04] ok thanks [23:05] so some live dvd issue?

[23:06] Drekalots: no need, specify your nameservers in /etc/network/interfaces instead [23:07] ubottu: ? [23:08] daftykins: Really? Same syntax? [23:10] Hi! I am attempting to install HandBrake on my Ubuntu 13.04. I added the ppa and did apt-get install handbreak-gtk, yet I am receieving an error message of: handbrake-gtk : Depends: gstreamer1.0-plugins-bad but it is not going to be installed.

[23:22] !fax [23:22] we should have one of those.. probably [23:22] <_UsUrPeR_> lol [23:22] ubottu: i fax with web applications [23:22] holstein: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [23:22] _UsUrPeR_: ^^ [23:22] <_UsUrPeR_> holstein: was that meant for me? [23:22] <_UsUrPeR_> ok [23:23] <_UsUrPeR_> holstein: so want a breakdown in here, or PM? [23:23] <_UsUrPeR_> I may be a little long-winded [23:23] _UsUrPeR_: no need... i litrerally google "fax servce" and just go with what fits my needs [23:23] service* [23:24] _UsUrPeR_: some allow you to just email a fax.. outside the machine.. thats what you will likely want to do [23:24] <_UsUrPeR_> holstein: sorry dude. I'm looking for honest-to-god faxing for a DR's office [23:24] <_UsUrPeR_> actually, I am looking for a function in hylafax to test a USB > Serial adapter [23:25] _UsUrPeR_: i would buy a fax machine.. otherwise, you'll want to setup dial up [23:25] <_UsUrPeR_> I have one modem working already [23:25] <_UsUrPeR_> It's the second one that I need to get up and running :P [23:25] _UsUrPeR_ have you reviewed https://wiki.debian.org/HylaFax [23:25] I only mention it because its a good doc.

[23:34] failmaster, try it before and not work [23:34] Traccy, try kill -09 [23:34] what is the application that shom hidden procces run in back ground [23:35] does ubuntu create a preseeed file each time you install it, so if I have a bunch of servers all the same, I can just install one, grab the generated config, and proceed [23:35] Traccy, "ps"? or "htop" [23:35] or am I forced to do this manually and then preseed it [23:35] failmaster, thank you for the info. I added getdeb via the instructions on the website. I tried to apt-get install handbrake-gtk again; however, with the same dependency negative results. [23:35] fearfulfuzzy, 13.04? [23:36] failmaster Yes, I am 13.04. [23:36] is there an advantage to moving from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS? [23:36] arooni-mobile: newer packages? longer survival ?

[23:41] ok, ill assume that preseed must be manually generated [23:41] hi [23:41] is DMZ is like block all connections to outside [23:42] ? [23:42] only set specific ports in DMZ zone which are accessible for specific servers? [23:42] no a DMZ is an 'open everything to this' [23:43] that's why it's called the de-militarised zone [23:43] hmm [23:45] daftykins: Thank you! [23:45] np! [23:45] Sup. Anyone out there? [23:45] yep [23:45] there is life in here [23:46] glad to hear that. im a newcomer and have encountered a problem during installation of the system [23:46] may you help me a little? ill provide any info you'd need [23:47] yep ask away on one line with as much detail as you can [23:47] <_UsUrPeR_> Jeruvy: ok, read through the hylafax site you suggested. addfaxmodem seemed to be what I need, but it seems like the speed cannot be detected. Further, when I run "cu -l /dev/ttyUSB0" I get an error stating that something is using the modem already [23:47] !details | Therapy To the channel please [23:47] Therapy To the channel please: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [23:48] <_UsUrPeR_> Jeruvy: I know that's not the case though. These are serial modems using a USB > Serial passthrough [23:48] <_UsUrPeR_> Jeruvy: The passthrough is detected properly, and it assigns it to /dev/ttyUSB0, so that seems to be a "good thing" [23:49] _UsUrPeR_ I would suggest maybe ensuring your using 9600 or 19.2k as a fixed rate [23:49] I'm sittin on a pretty old machine: asus mn68plus motherboard, amd phenom II x2 560, nvidia geforce 9600 videocard. I am using a usb stick and tried to install 12.04 and 13.. huh dun remember versions of the system [23:50] 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] Hi [23:50] It loads, I am able to select the language. When I try to install the system to a hard drive or run in without installaion (tried both), it starts doing something for a few seconds (too afst, cant read) and then my monitor just died, and the only option is to reboot [23:50] yes, 13.04 [23:51] Therapy: hmm, weird. does the system memtest ok? [23:51] My son donated 2 $ via paypal and I want my money back. Can I get a refund? [23:51] wpbogdan, oh srsly? [23:51] failmaster: don't feed the trolls [23:52] ? [23:52] wpbogdan, this is ubuntu support. [23:52] Yes. [23:52] not paypal support [23:52] _UsUrPeR_ likely, I have seen issues with certain hardware preffering certain types of USB/Serial but that I'm not nearly experienced enough with. [23:52] daftykins: I have not ran it. Should I? === alan_ is now known as Guest70264 [23:52] I already reque [23:53] I already requested a refund but I did not get it [23:53] <_UsUrPeR_> Jeruvy: Do you have any recommendations toward a more suited irc channel on freenode? [23:53] Therapy: that and checking that your downloaded ISO was good might be a good idea [23:53] 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] wpbogdan: this is not a paypal support [23:54] How can I contact the company? [23:54] _UsUrPeR_ ##hardware could be a choice about the hardware device. [23:54] wpbogdan: i have no idea, i'd imagine the website has some detail [23:54] <_UsUrPeR_> Jeruvy: awesome. Thanks for the tip [23:54] I just found this irc server on the site, nothing more. [23:54] 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. [23:55] 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] What means "troll" ? [23:55] Trolling means riling people up intentionally. [23:56] 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] wpbogdan: if its about the ubuntu-edge crowdfunding talk to indiegogo. the contacts are on the site. [23:56] 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. [23:57] 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] 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. [23:58] Ok thank you. [23:58] 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] wpbogdan, http://support.indiegogo.com/entries/21081743-Refunds [23:58] But, huh, I guess the drive is fine it I manage to get to the language selection. [23:59] 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 === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman
