| tigrang | I have an atheros wifi card. With kernel 3.2 my connection is stable, I restart to latest 3.11 and my connection fails to connect or its very unstable. I was reading a bug report that said it was fixed in RC4, but I'm still having issues with it. Anyone else experiencing this or any suggestions? Thank you | 00:02 |
|---|---|---|
| TJ- | tigrang: Which kernel module drives the hardware? Is it a mainline module, or added via DKMS or some other out-of-tree mechanism? | 00:03 |
| OerHeks | tigrang, "latest 3.11" ? how did you install that kernel, raring is @ 3.8.0-27 | 00:03 |
| tigrang | TJ-: ath9k | 00:03 |
| tigrang | OerHeks: from mainline kernel site | 00:03 |
| tigrang | http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/daily/ | 00:04 |
| tigrang | TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5975484/ | 00:05 |

| GeekDude | Quick question: Why won't my iptables rule "iptables -t nat -A PREROUTING -p tcp --dport 80 -j REDIRECT --to-port 8080" stick around after reboot? | 00:05 |
| GeekDude | Raging: you might want to check #python | 00:05 |
| jrib | GeekDude: where are you putting them? | 00:05 |
| GeekDude | jrib: Terminal | 00:05 |
| jrib | !iptables | GeekDude | 00:05 |
| ubottu | GeekDude: 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 | 00:05 |
| jrib | GeekDude: you can read the iptables page on the wiki if you want to store and restore your iptables rules | 00:06 |
| TJ- | GeekDude: You will need to use iptables-save or some other firewall mechanism (such as UFW or Shorewall) to save and restore rules at shutdown/startup | 00:06 |
| GeekDude | I tried iptables-save, but it didn't seem to help | 00:06 |
| jrib | GeekDude: read the wki | 00:06 |
| jrib | wiki even | 00:06 |
| rypervenche | GeekDude: YOu need to install iptables-persistent | 00:07 |
| TJ- | GeekDude: If you use iptables-save, then there needs to be a script at start-up that runs iptables-restore | 00:07 |

| Inertiatic | hi guys | 00:23 |
| Inertiatic | how do i upgrade from 12.10 to 13.04? | 00:23 |
| IdleOne | !upgrade | 00:23 |
| ubottu | For upgrading, see the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UpgradeNotes - see also http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/get-ubuntu/upgrade | 00:23 |
| jrib | !upgrade | Inertiatic | 00:23 |
| ubottu | Inertiatic: please see above | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | Inertiatic: the do-release-upgrade command is commonly used. | 00:23 |
| Inertiatic | cool, thanks guys! | 00:23 |
| Dr_Willis | im suprised it hasent asked you to upgrade. | 00:23 |
| Inertiatic | it did a few months ago | 00:24 |
| Inertiatic | but i didn't want to | 00:24 |
| Inertiatic | and now it stopped asking :-| | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | I just upgraded an old 12.10 box today. :) | 00:24 |
| FlailGameDev | Ubuntu is crashing on me and it wants to send system reports. I don't want to send the system report. I would like to read it, however. Where do I find a list of system errors that would be reported if they could be? Like Event Viewer in Windows. | 00:24 |
| maggie_ | Didn't have to configure anything, it logged right in | 00:24 |
| Dr_Willis | !apport | 00:24 |
| Inertiatic | nice Dr_Willis, that command seems to work | 00:25 |
| Inertiatic | thanks | 00:25 |
| tigrang | TJ-: know of anything I can try besides turning power savings off and nohwcrypt=1? | 00:25 |
| TJ- | tigrang: I'd add to the Linux bugzilla that it doesn't seem to be fixed, if you're sure the patch is included in the build you're using | 00:27 |

| wiak | how do i completly disable notify osd? | 00:31 |
| wiak | i cant remove the package as its needed by ubuntu-desktop and gnome-power-manger :O | 00:31 |
| Dr_Willis | wiak: ubuntu-desktop is just a meta-package | 00:32 |
| Dr_Willis | no idea what gnome-power manager does. ;) | 00:32 |
| wiak | Dr_Willis, its a battery power config app i think | 00:33 |
| wiak | it basicly makes laptop sleep when lid is closed | 00:33 |
| Dr_Willis | wiak: why do you want to disable it? theres a 3rd party 'configurable' osd -> http://www.webupd8.org/2013/04/configurable-notifyosd-updated-for.html | 00:33 |
| wiak | Dr_Willis, well when i use fn + volume keys my whole system stops taking keyboard/mouse commands | 00:34 |
| wiak | and i think its related to osd etc, as its buggy | 00:34 |
| wiak | when i take one press to turn up volume it will go to 100%.. | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | pkill notify-osd perhaps and see if that kills it. | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | and see if the issue still happens? | 00:35 |
| Dr_Willis | actually notify-osd may restart.. | 00:35 |
| trism | wiak: you can install notification-daemon and then you can remove notify-osd | 00:36 |
| trism | wiak: notification-daemon won't start automatically in unity | 00:36 |
| Dr_Willis | http://linuxg.net/how-to-clear-ubuntu-notifications-from-notifyosd/ | 00:37 |
| wiak | i dont need any notify so i want to remove them compleley | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | somthing seems weird with that last URL.. im not sure the guy is correct in his assumptions. ;) | 00:37 |
| Dr_Willis | he just purages the notifyosd package basically ;) | 00:38 |
| trism | yeah he isn't, dbus will restart notify-osd, and that isn't even the correct package name | 00:38 |
| trism | wiak: yes, but you can't without removing other things | 00:38 |
| Dr_Willis | trism: yea. :) i wasent sure which guide was correct and which was wrong | 00:38 |
| trism | wiak: but again, notification-daemon will not start automatically like notify-osd in most sessions | 00:38 |

| tigrang | TJ-: thanks for the help, I opened a bug report, I'll see what happens | 00:55 |
| tigrang | I love 3.11 for all the radeon improvements, but man wifi is killing me | 00:55 |
| Dr_Willis | El_Presidente: decays? you mean it catches up then plays properly? | 00:56 |
| TJ- | tigrang: I've been using 3.10/.11 too; fixed a really annoying 802.11n bug on the AP card driver | 00:56 |
| El_Presidente | Dr_Willis, yes after 30-40 seconds sound and video are synced | 00:57 |
| El_Presidente | and stay that way | 00:57 |
| Dr_Willis | El_Presidente: sounds like some sort of buffering going on. you might want to ask in the vlc channels. theres may be some option to buffer more befor starting the video stream | 00:58 |

| jc_ | how can I make shutdown not require sudo | 01:01 |
| reisio | jc_: are you using GNOME/Unity? | 01:01 |
| jc_ | gnome | 01:01 |
| reisio | that should be able to shut down without sudo | 01:01 |
| jc_ | but I want to do it from the command line | 01:01 |
| reisio | right right | 01:01 |
| reisio | what's wrong with using sudo? | 01:01 |
| TJ- | jc_: Add an entry into /etc/sudoers | 01:01 |
| reisio | it's an extra five chars | 01:01 |
| El_Presidente | Dr_Willis, well i increased caching to max but the video still starts too late | 01:02 |
| reisio | TJ-: wouldn't that still use sudo? :p | 01:02 |
| El_Presidente | i dont think it is a caching error | 01:02 |
| El_Presidente | i will file a bug report at ubuntu ... | 01:02 |
| TJ- | reisio: But you'd not need to enter a password | 01:02 |

| Orxata_ | hi | 01:03 |
| Orxata_ | I can't see images on my web browser | 01:03 |
| Dr_Willis | El_Presidente: check with the vlc guys/channel. you could paste the url to the stream so others in here can see if it happens with them also. | 01:04 |
| wiak | if your sudoesrs file are messed do this, reboot into recovery and go to root and then mount -o rw,remount / and then pico /etc/sudoers | 01:04 |
| wiak | :P | 01:04 |
| Dr_Willis | El_Presidente: you may not need the cache to be max. but it to start AFTER its cached a lot.. of cours it could be some quirk with the stream also. | 01:04 |
| reisio | jc_: should say in the file | 01:05 |
| reisio | jc_: but probably: %users ALL = NOPASSWD:/sbin/shutdown | 01:05 |
| jc_ | reisio: thanks I'll try it | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | jc_: one 'dirty' way to do it - is set the suid bit on the shutdown command. ;) | 01:05 |
| Dr_Willis | jc_: then anyone can just type shutdown | 01:05 |
| TJ- | jc_: Here's the entry from one of my servers for someone with restricted permissions: "eddie jeeves = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, PASSWD: /sbin/ifup, /sbin/ifconfig, /sbin/ip, /usr/sbin/service" | 01:06 |

| Llucid | Where might I find the log for command histories? | 01:06 |

| Dr_Willis | Llucid: the bash history is in .history normally | 01:07 |
| Dr_Willis | but it may not be totally correct. if you have several shells open | 01:07 |
| TJ- | Bash history is ~/.bash_history | 01:07 |
| Llucid | Preferably sudo lined,Yes. | 01:07 |
| Llucid | Thank you. | 01:07 |
| jc_ | since I just messed the sudoers file is there anything I can do to fix it? or do I just rebuild the system | 01:07 |
| TJ- | Llucid: For sudo commands look in /var/log/auth.log | 01:08 |
| Dr_Willis | jc_: find the default sudoers file and replace it. | 01:08 |
| TJ- | jc_: boot to recovery (which gives you a root terminal) and fix it, or boot from an external device (USB, DVD) and fix it from there | 01:08 |

| Dr_Willis | Llucid: clarify wht you mean | 01:11 |
| Llucid | I wish to open /File System/ through sudo | 01:11 |
| Dr_Willis | open it in what program? | 01:12 |
| Llucid | Program? I have been told the line before, Something alike "sudo ts___" | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | you can access a directory in nautilus as root via 'gksudo nautilus /path/to/location' but its NOT a good habbit to run nautilus as root | 01:12 |
| Dr_Willis | I got no idea what you mean by 'ts*' opening a 'filesystem' is a little vague.. accessing a DIRECTORY is done as above | 01:13 |
| TJ- | jc_: To get the original /etc/sudoers file, if you don't have sudo access to reinstall the package ("sudo apt-get --reinstall install sudo") then grab the source: "cd /tmp; apt-get source sudo; less sudo-1.8.8p3/debian/sudoers;" | 01:13 |
| TJ- | Llucid: I believe what you mean to say is, you wish to 'mount' a file-system ? | 01:14 |
| Llucid | Dr_Willis; It was a simple two worded line, It opened my File Manager | 01:14 |
| Llucid | Using sudo* | 01:14 |
| jrib | jc_: also make sure you use "visudo" to edit the sudoers file from now on | 01:14 |
| Llucid | Sorry to say File System, Mistake. | 01:14 |
| jc_ | jrib: why visudo? | 01:15 |

| abaddon | Ahhh...yet another question for the wonderful Ubu group. I'm looking for a very light file manager that still has a gui. It would be nice if it still looked like a nautilus or caja type fm. Any suggestions out there? I've used xfe, nautilus, caja, gnome commander, tux commander spacefm, and 4pane. They just don't suit me too well. | 02:03 |
| James_Epp | abaddon: Thunar | 02:04 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: That'll be endless. The "true" is supposed to represent some test that will at some point become "false" and end the loop and script | 02:04 |
| James_Epp | Not too many features, however. | 02:04 |
| abaddon | James_Epp, I should add that it has to be nearly independant in operation. ie, not reliant on kde, gnome, unity, etc | 02:05 |
| chamunks | anyone know the arg for tar that omits the full path when I'm tar'ing something. "tar -cvfz $USR.tar.gz /home/$USR" | 02:05 |
| Dr_Willis | abaddon: try rox-filer | 02:05 |
| chamunks | thats putting the entire path /home/$USR into the tar I want to be able to extract $USR onto the desination without the whole path. | 02:06 |
| James_Epp | TJ-: Hypothetically speaking, if acpi were installed on windows and "clear" worked, this is what the batch script would look like: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5975736/ | 02:06 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, tried that. it's...ok...not great...just...ok. | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | abaddon: it has some features that i really really wish other fm;s had | 02:06 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, such as? | 02:06 |
| Dr_Willis | abaddon: select a group of files and try 'rename' and see that neat trick it has | 02:07 |
| James_Epp | abaddon: Perhaps some kind of PHP file manager you could access via a web GUI? | 02:07 |
| Dr_Willis | i tend to just use 'mc' most of the time. :) or some other dual pane file maangers | 02:08 |
| Dr_Willis | !info gentoo | 02:08 |
| ubottu | gentoo (source: gentoo): fully GUI-configurable, two-pane X file manager. In component universe, is optional. Version 0.19.13-2 (raring), package size 755 kB, installed size 1906 kB | 02:08 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: Is there a reason for the 'clear' because that'd almost instantly wipe out what "acpi -b" reported | 02:08 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: Are you trying to detect some condition or just watch the value? | 02:08 |
| === ubuntu is now known as Guest1413 | ||
| James_Epp | TJ-: Watch the value. | 02:09 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, Oh yeahh...not something I need at though. And James_Epp I would much prefer it to be stand alone from other uhhh stuff. There was an fm I tried once that resembled tux and gnome commander but I can't find it. It also was independant from the terminal. | 02:09 |
| James_Epp | abaddon: I have no suggestions | 02:09 |
| === RedefinedClank is now known as Clank|Gone | ||
| abaddon | James_Epp, thanks bud for trying. =p | 02:09 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: "watch -n 10 acpi -b" | 02:10 |
| Guest1413 | So I screwed up my partitions and then used testdisk to try and fix thigs. I did Anylize and tried to write the partition table. Testdisk told me to restart to apply changes. I did and all I got was a grub recovery consol. I booted a liveCD and the entire HDD now shows as unallocated space. What do? | 02:10 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: That'll run the command every 10 seconds | 02:10 |
| James_Epp | TJ-: Thank you. | 02:10 |
| James_Epp | Do you know of any bash video tuts on youtube that are pretty good? | 02:11 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: Video is lots of wasted bandwidth. I always go to http://www.tldp.org/LDP/abs/html/ | 02:11 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: That is my bible | 02:11 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, I tried many Fm's but none sing to me the way I want 'em to. XD I'm so picky.... | 02:12 |
| abaddon | Dr_Willis, I've tried looking for a list of FM's on the web but they're so short and generally list the same 10 fm's i've tried | 02:13 |
| James_Epp | TJ-: Thanks, man! Need to watch how long my netbook can last as a portable router. | 02:13 |
| lawltoad | whats the preffered way to make a USB Windows8 bootable for installation in raring? | 02:14 |

| TJ- | James_Epp: 'while true; do echo "$(date +%Y-%m-%d,\ %H:%M:%S) $(acpi -b)" >> marathon.log; sleep 30; done' | 02:18 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: That'll write a timestamped log to "marathon.log" ... after the device goes to sleep/dies, you can read that file to get the power and time profile | 02:19 |
| lawltoad | reisio, is ms-sys not in the repos? | 02:19 |
| reisio | lawltoad: possibly not | 02:19 |
| James_Epp | TJ-: SO...many....variables......and dollar signs. *shivers* | 02:21 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: Well no, the $(...) is the shell's way of allowing you to run a sub-shell process and replace then call with whatever the sub-shell wrote to STDOUT | 02:22 |
| TJ- | s/then/that/ | 02:23 |
| James_Epp | TJ-: Let's just say this is the most "advanced" bash script I've ever done. Even then, I used a GUI for cron and grsync to get out the rsync script :)) | 02:24 |
| James_Epp | http://paste.ubuntu.com/5975775/ | 02:24 |
| TJ- | James_Epp: we all start somewhere. I often know bash can do things but can't remember how so return to that advanced scripting guide | 02:25 |
| James_Epp | TJ-: I definitely thank you for the resource, I'll take a look at it when I don't have some random weird project pop into my head. | 02:26 |

| Psil0cybin | would it work on Xubuntu | 02:56 |

| wind3x | no clue mate, i cant even install it | 04:12 |
| wind3x | lol | 04:12 |
| LLckfan | pvl1 when I first set it up it was set to use auto(DHCP) | 04:12 |
| Purpleberry23 | I am using DHCP | 04:12 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: so how are you installing this server edition (which release) and onto what kind of machine? | 04:13 |

| ubottu | Ubuntu 10.04 LTS (Lucid Lynx) was the twelfth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended May 9 2013. Server support continues. See http://ubottu.com/y/lucid for more details. | 04:14 |
| Purpleberry23 | I installed Ubuntu 12.04 on a boot only system. I'm using it as a music server | 04:14 |
| wind3x | Onto a desktop, custom-built computer using a burned ISO(which passed the DVD checker prompt) I am installing ubuntu-12.04.2-server-amd64.iso | 04:14 |
| Purpleberry23 | I've installed Subsonic web media player | 04:15 |
| Purpleberry23 | but it won't launch | 04:15 |
| reisio | Purpleberry23: what happens when you try to launch it? | 04:15 |
| Purpleberry23 | I can't even launch it. It just says I have it installed. When I go to the file, it only give me the option to remove. | 04:16 |
| Purpleberry23 | Remove button | 04:16 |
| Purpleberry23 | Thanks reisio btw | 04:16 |
| reisio | Purpleberry23: okay, can you open a terminal? | 04:16 |
| Purpleberry23 | yes | 04:16 |
| Purpleberry23 | and I can get to my command line of course | 04:17 |
| reisio | Purpleberry23: dpkg -L nameOfPackage | 04:17 |
| reisio | if it's a "web" media player, it probably needs a web server | 04:17 |
| reisio | which it may or may not come with | 04:17 |
| reisio | but it probably -does- come with an explanation | 04:17 |
| Purpleberry23 | hmm Apache? | 04:17 |
| Inc_ | Does anyone know of a tool for cracking router logins? | 04:18 |
| Dr_Willis | You did start the subsonic service? like the docs say? ;) | 04:18 |
| wilee-nilee | Inc_, wrong channel. | 04:19 |
| Dr_Willis | Inc_: not really ontopic for this channel, or network. | 04:19 |
| Inc_ | wilee-nilee Mind telling me a right channel? Lol | 04:19 |
| wind3x | Dr_Willis: I forgot to address it to you but the info is stated above to the best of my knowledge. Thanks. | 04:19 |
| wilee-nilee | Inc_, #imanidiot | 04:19 |
| Purpleberry23 | Yes! I did start it | 04:19 |
| Purpleberry23 | I checked the Var/log and it says it's installed and updated | 04:20 |
| Purpleberry23 | I stopped the service then restarted it | 04:20 |
| Purpleberry23 | but no icon on my desktop | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: well somthign is VERY odd - that package you mention is not found in any of the repos. | 04:20 |
| Inc_ | wilee-nilee, Oh you're just going to be an asshole. Gotcha | 04:20 |
| Inc_ | Lol | 04:20 |
| reisio | Inc_: try #aircrack-ng | 04:20 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: which iso are you using exctly? | 04:20 |
| Purpleberry23 | I'm new so I'm probably missing something | 04:20 |
| Inc_ | Invite only channel apparently, reisio | 04:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Purpleberry23: err. from what i readingof the subsonic thinggie docs.. you dont get an icon. you access it from a browser | 04:21 |
| Purpleberry23 | ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386 | 04:21 |
| Dr_Willis | http://yoursubsnicserverip.number:4040 | 04:21 |
| reisio | Inc_: nah | 04:21 |
| reisio | Inc_: but you might need to be identified | 04:21 |
| reisio | /msg nickserv help register | 04:21 |
| reisio | /msg nickserv help identify | 04:21 |
| Dr_Willis | Purpleberry23: so it says this During the install? | 04:21 |
| Inc_ | reisio thanks | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | oops wrong nick.. :) | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x so it says this During the install? | 04:22 |
| Purpleberry23 | Oh, I'll try that port | 04:22 |
| Dr_Willis | Purpleberry23: all i did was read the 'starter docs' for the tool. ;) | 04:22 |
| pvl1 | wind3x: ok isntall cd. are you still loaded onto the install cd | 04:22 |
| wind3x | Dr_Willis: That is the exact filename of the file I downloaded off ubuntu.com on Friday, I am not sure how else to put it. | 04:23 |
| pvl1 | LLckfan: im lost, dunno | 04:23 |
| pvl1 | kick it | 04:23 |
| wind3x | Yes I am still in the install CD | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: so the install works, or you get this error while installing? | 04:23 |
| pvl1 | Dr_Willis: is there a way to read log files on the server install cd? | 04:23 |
| Dr_Willis | pvl1: cant say ive ever noticed :) never needed them | 04:23 |
| MrLahey | hey there. I cannot login to lubuntu after changing my password. apparently this is because I also did not change the password for my encrypted home drive. any ideas to fix? thanks' | 04:23 |
| wind3x | Dr_Willis: I get this message while I am installing, it gives me an option to pick a certain part of the install to try again | 04:24 |
| wind3x | I have yet to have a successful installation, this error occurs during the installation process | 04:24 |
| Purpleberry23 | Wow - this is crazy, can we start a meetup downtown Tacoma at a Bar? | 04:25 |
| Inc_ | How do you download drivers for wireless cards? | 04:25 |
| pvl1 | Dr_Willis: i guess same then! | 04:25 |
| Purpleberry23 | Harmon Brewery | 04:25 |
| Purpleberry23 | Let's do it, guys! | 04:26 |
| wilee-nilee | Purpleberry23, You wait I will be right there. ;) | 04:26 |
| Purpleberry23 | haha, I'll bring my tower | 04:26 |
| pvl1 | wind3x: what computer are you installing on | 04:27 |
| wind3x | A custom PC with a gigabyte mobo, Q9900 processor, corsair ram, etc... | 04:28 |
| wind3x | It previously had windows vista but more recently centOS | 04:29 |
| Purpleberry23 | Dr_Willis: I tried the browser link, but it timed out | 04:29 |
| pvl1 | wind3x: core 2 dup? | 04:30 |
| pvl1 | duo* | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: thats very weird. because from what i saw earlier - the package you listed. dosent exist in any release. | 04:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Purpleberry23: time to follow the install guide at the apps homepage i guess. you might need to make a user/edit a config from the guides i skimmed | 04:30 |
| wind3x | its a quad core and I grabbed it straight from http://www.ubuntu.com/download/server | 04:31 |
| wind3x | do you think another version is better? | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: was there a checkboxc at the beginning to 'install updates' ? the desktop cd has that.. | 04:31 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: id be tempted to try the 13.04 server. or mini installer also. | 04:32 |
| hipitihop | is it possible to run 32 bit LX container on a 64 bit host | 04:32 |
| wind3x | no, there was only an option to start the instalation as a whole | 04:32 |
| pvl1 | hipitihop: whats LX stand for | 04:33 |
| pvl1 | wind3x: id try the latest server as well | 04:34 |
| wind3x | alright will do, thanks. a basic google search showed that "zeroing the hd might help" since it messed up installing once, do you think i should try this? | 04:35 |
| holstein | wind3x: i would test the drive.. "zeroing" it shouldnt effect the performance | 04:36 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: i dont really see how its a hard drive issue. if its trying to install some package that dosent exist.. or have i totally missread the problem | 04:36 |
| hipitihop | pvl1, https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LXC | 04:36 |
| pvl1 | i agree, wind3x, are you doing a fresh isntall | 04:36 |
| wind3x | the thing is that I have no OS on it currently so I'm not sure how I would zero the HD | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: you can get to a console from the live dvd/cd | 04:37 |
| wilee-nilee | wind3x, this the 12.10 server, 12.04 is longterm, much longer. | 04:37 |
| Dr_Willis | but again . i dont see why zeroing it would matter. | 04:37 |
| fastputty | hello guys | 04:37 |
| fastputty | i am under 8.0.4 and i canot find anywhere the wireless avaiable list | 04:37 |
| fastputty | i went to hardware drivers and see my ahteros wireless card enable | 04:38 |
| fastputty | somene may help out | 04:38 |
| pvl1 | hipitihop: kool havent seen that before. interesting stuff. but cant help ya sorry :( | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | fastputty: Ubuntu 8.04 you mean? | 04:38 |
| wilee-nilee | fastputty, 8.0.4 really? | 04:38 |
| pvl1 | lol you two would be upset at that | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | !8.04 | 04:38 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support ended on May 9th 2013. See http://ubottu.com/y/hardy for more details. | 04:38 |
| icelite | \ooo | 04:38 |
| fastputty | i know i know but its a old old computer | 04:38 |
| fastputty | lol | 04:38 |
| icelite | just missed it | 04:38 |
| holstein | wind3x: what im saying is, you shouldnt have to.. | 04:38 |
| fastputty | i just want to make it revive | 04:38 |
| holstein | wind3x: there is nothing that should fail, ans zeroing will make it not fail | 04:38 |
| Dr_Willis | fastputty: upgrade it to a current release is going to be the main advice. | 04:39 |
| wind3x | Alright thanks a ton, I'll just try the newest version and cross my fingers | 04:39 |
| fastputty | no internet | 04:39 |
| pvl1 | fastputty: the newer versions all have better everything for old pcs. just keep it lightweight. install kde, or lubuntu | 04:39 |
| fastputty | cannot upgrade | 04:39 |
| fastputty | only wireless | 04:39 |
| fastputty | cannot find the wireless vaialable list | 04:39 |
| FloodBot1 | fastputty: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:39 |
| fastputty | how can i get the list? | 04:39 |
| pvl1 | wind3x: good luck | 04:39 |
| Dr_Willis | fastputty: if your wifi card is not supported by that old a release.. its not supported. | 04:39 |
| fastputty | i bleieve i have made it work before | 04:39 |
| fastputty | just long time i didnt touch kde | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | desktop should have an icon somewhere for the wifi stuff/network manager | 04:40 |
| fastputty | forge evrything lamost | 04:40 |
| fastputty | yeah where is that ICON??? | 04:40 |
| wind3x | thanks pvl1 | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | its your desktop.. look for it.. we dont rember what the desktop layouts look like for every release. | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | or run the network-manager tool via the clo | 04:40 |
| holstein | fastputty: "believe"? maybe you used a windows driver with ndis.. there is a GUI ndis frontend.. ndisgtk.. | 04:40 |
| Dr_Willis | assuming the wifi 'used' to work - and all you need to just find the icon. ;) | 04:41 |
| cution | sometimes wifi works like a pimp beast in linux / ubuntu | 04:41 |
| cution | other times it works lame | 04:41 |
| cution | i blame the hardware manufacturers | 04:42 |
| reisio | those terrible hardware manufacturers that made you buy their product | 04:42 |
| cution | well | 04:42 |
| cution | yes and no | 04:42 |
| cution | you have to remember if a guy gets a beast deal on a computer, buys it for cheap | 04:42 |
| reisio | that he was forced? | 04:42 |
| reisio | :p | 04:42 |
| cution | maybe that person didn't you know have control of every piece of hardware in it | 04:42 |
| cution | no | 04:42 |
| cution | but he's poor | 04:42 |
| cution | it's a good price | 04:42 |
| holstein | !ot | 04:42 |
| FloodBot1 | cution: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. | 04:42 |
| cution | a good deal | 04:42 |
| ubottu | #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! | 04:42 |
| reisio | heh | 04:43 |
| cution | i'm not flooding. | 04:43 |
| Dr_Willis | yes you are. | 04:43 |
| rreed | cution, sacrifice you make :) | 04:43 |
| reisio | just a bot, guy | 04:43 |
| Purpleberry23 | Dr_Willis: did the command line install step by step. I think it's a problem with my port/router. Thanks for your help | 04:43 |
| Purpleberry23 | reisio: thanks for your help too | 04:43 |
| Purpleberry23 | I'll bring it to class | 04:43 |
| linu | hi all i have added new integrated(bluetooth and wifi ) module driver in kernel 3.6.9 and compiled for i386,it showed me the following error can you tell me what is that issues http://pastebin.com/DvMUauyP | 04:46 |
| vaskaloidis | I just installed nagios from the source on my server - and I went to the website my.serverIP.com/nagios and it won't work | 04:49 |
| vaskaloidis | any suggestions - or what would happen if I just installed nagios from apt-get now, would it create two copies of nagios? I would rather uninstall the one I compiled from source | 04:49 |
| linu | rtl8723au this is the driver name which i added externally to the kernel 3.6.9 | 04:49 |
| GEEGEEGEE | what kernel version does ubuntu 13.04 use? | 04:51 |
| GEEGEEGEE | or whatever the newest verison is | 04:51 |
| wilee-nilee | linu, YOu might look through these threads and see if there is any relevant info. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=rtl8723 | 04:51 |
| wilee-nilee | GEEGEEGEE, 3.8 something | 04:51 |
| GEEGEEGEE | ok thanks | 04:51 |
| linu | wilee-nilee yes i will check | 04:52 |
| vaskaloidis | any suggestions as to why my nagios won't work after I compiled and built it from source - it won't work when I attempt to access it from a web browser mysite.com/nagios and I installed it on ubuntu 12.04 | 04:53 |

| wilee-nilee | Semor, Why not use a kernel probably already there? | 05:07 |
| wind3x | To anyone who was here before, I regret to inform that I got the same exact error upon trying to install the new version :( | 05:10 |
| Dr_Willis | refresh our memoruys as to what the exact error was. | 05:13 |
| wind3x | it installs up to the "kernal" point then says it can't write it | 05:14 |
| Dr_Willis | cant WRITE it or cant Install it or cant download it? | 05:14 |
| wind3x | umm, let me scroll up and see what i wrote before one sec | 05:15 |
| wind3x | "An error was returned when trying to install the kernal into the target system." | 05:15 |
| jpds | wind3x: Sounds like your out of disk scape? | 05:16 |
| wind3x | i had it set to use and repartition the entire tera | 05:16 |
| PantD | Hi | 05:16 |
| wilee-nilee | jpds, sounds like your guessing. | 05:17 |
| wind3x | I have the syslog if anyone's willing to translate it for me | 05:17 |
| wind3x | i have no idea what it means but i can paste it all | 05:17 |

| wilee-nilee | maybe not give some details to the channel. | 05:20 |
| jpds | wilee-nilee: What else can "cannot write" mean? | 05:20 |
| MrLahey | hey there I am on ubuntu and am having an issue...i couldnt login after changing my password so I went into grub and changed it back. now I can login but the panel is missing and when I right click to open apps, it only shows the default apps that came with the distro. | 05:20 |
| MrLahey | lubuntu rather | 05:20 |
| wilee-nilee | jpds, many things. | 05:20 |

| wind3x | No Dr_Willis, a DVD-R. Does that matter? | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | well i see several messages about the system having issues reading the optical drive. | 05:29 |
| Dr_Willis | but it all seems to be block 1 and block 0. | 05:30 |

| wind3x | sr0 is the ethernet I think, I was offered a choice of two different options which is strance since I only have one port | 05:31 |
| wind3x | as far as I know | 05:31 |
| Ben64 | sr0 is never ethernet | 05:31 |
| wind3x | alright, im probably wrong then | 05:31 |
| wind3x | i've used the drive to install other distro's by DVD, but they were much larger. maybe I need a blank CD then? | 05:32 |

| R-800 | Hi, all. Trying out Ubuntu again after being away a while. Never got very proficient with it. Now I have a new challenge: Trying to install it on a system without internet access. I have another computer that can get online (obviously?) but that doesn't seem terribly helpful yet. Did some research, but feeling overwhelmed. | 05:35 |
| Ben64 | R-800: the installer works the same if connected or not, whats the problem? | 05:36 |
| reisio | R-800: why can't you get access? | 05:37 |
| ubuntu11 | nmnnn | 05:37 |
| === Andres_SM is now known as AndresSM | ||
| Dr_Willis | its nice to have the internet connected - so the installer can get the extra codecs/packages and updates at install time. but its not required | 05:38 |
| R-800 | reisio: Well, the access issue isn't a troubleshooting issue. Let's just say, it's not going to have access, and it's out of my hands. Nothing is broken as far as that goes. It's just a limitation I am forced to deal with (I'm setting this up for someone else). | 05:38 |
| chamunks | I'm getting ERROR: Bad port '25510-25530' for ufw allow proto tcp from 192.99.2.128 port 25510-25530 | 05:38 |
| chamunks | any ideas? | 05:39 |
| reisio | R-800: mmm, k | 05:39 |
| reisio | R-800: so it won't have access after you hand it off? | 05:39 |
| reisio | R-800: or you don't want it to ever have access? | 05:39 |
| R-800 | reisio: It's out of my hands. That means it doesn't matter what I want. | 05:39 |
| reisio | I don't understand :p | 05:39 |
| reisio | someone has a gun to your head? | 05:39 |
| reisio | should I call the cops? | 05:39 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: so install it.. and hand it off.. there ya go. | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: internet is not needed for a normal desktop install. but it is nice. | 05:40 |
| reisio | if I _should_ call the cops, say "it's out of my hands" | 05:40 |
| R-800 | Dr_Willis: That was already done. I suppose I could leave it at that. | 05:40 |
| wind3x | Dr_Willis: If you think there is an error loading from the DVD, is there a way I can use a portable HD instead? | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: so.. we have no idea what your real question is.. | 05:40 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: you can setup grub2 on a usb hd/flash to boot the iso. or image the iso to a usb. (or hd, but that would be weird) | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: or use a tool from the pendrivelinux site to make a live-usb installer on the hd. | 05:41 |
| Dr_Willis | i even have a thing for my android phone (rooted) that lets my Phone boot the pc with an iso file on the phone. ;P | 05:41 |

| === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob | ||
| R-800 | Dr_Willis: Understood. My real question pertains to certain issues with the install, probably minor, but which would be resolved by now if the system in question had internet access. So now I'm looking for ways to get the needed downloads from the computer which does have access. In trying to research this, I got to feeling like it's perhaps not as straightforward as I hoped it would be. | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: or do an install TO a small usb flash drive from a differnt pc.. and image it to your system :) | 05:42 |
| Dr_Willis | !aptoncd | 05:43 |
| ubottu | APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline | 05:43 |
| wind3x | Are you sure that would fix the problem though? I mean I tried installing two different versions to DVD and the both had the same issue, its very strange | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | wind3x: your issue seems to be either reading of the cd. or the image on the cd. Id try making a bootable usb from a known good image. | 05:43 |
| Dr_Willis | a space pc on the same network - opens up the possibility of having a network-boot setup also. ;) or you could try the minimal installer it downloads everything from the internet i belive | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | spare pc... | 05:44 |
| wind3x | ok, could you please? supply me to a link with a known good image | 05:44 |
| Dr_Willis | i always get my images from torrents. rarely ever have issues with them. then check the md5sum | 05:45 |
| wilee-nilee | wind3x, I would torrent the 12.04 server from ubuntu | 05:45 |
| xmetal | i copy the devs directory | 05:45 |
| xmetal | though apttoCD is something i have used before | 05:45 |
| xmetal | oops .. DEBS that should be | 05:45 |
| xmetal | ack lol | 05:46 |
| xmetal | that made no sense ... "i copy the Debs directly " is what i meant | 05:46 |
| PiNinja | Testing, can anyone see this? | 05:46 |
| xmetal | (haven't eating in awhile, not thinking .. forgive me :P ) | 05:46 |
| wilee-nilee | xmetal, Just seeing your nick makes me reach for the peppermint lozenges, and I'm not sure why. ;) | 05:46 |
| wind3x | Is that different than the one at http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop ? | 05:46 |
| MrLahey | hey there I am on lubuntu and am having an issue...i couldnt login after changing my password so I went into grub and changed it back. now I can login but the panel is missing and when I right click to open apps, it only shows the default apps that came with the distro. all the apps i installed are not showing up. its like its not loading my "profile" or something | 05:47 |
| djapo | is there a pdf viewer that works from tty, i dont mean a text based pdf viewer but rather one that can be launched from tty without an x session running? | 05:47 |
| R-800 | I guess I could start by asking how to get DVD playback to work through the default Movie Player in 12.04 without getting missing multimedia plugin errors. I wouldn't know what specific plugins I should even be looking for, or how to find out. | 05:47 |
| linu | wilee-nilee http://askubuntu.com/search?q=rtl8723 i followed that page,there stated to copy firmware,i did,but shows the same error http://pastebin.com/tu2zcQwA | 05:47 |
| xmetal | :-" | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: normally theres a package you install, then a script you have to run to get the actual 'stuff' due to legal reasons | 05:50 |
| xmetal | not naming what OS i run | 05:50 |
| xmetal | lol | 05:50 |
| Dr_Willis | !dvd | 05:50 |
| ubottu | Ubuntu's default installation and repositories do not include packages needed to play commercial DVDs for legal reasons. For information on adding them, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestrictedFormats/PlayingDVDs | For information on the legalities involved, see the "DVD" section of https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FreeFormats | 05:50 |
| babinlonston | Using ubuntu server 12.04 Not showing syslog Why ? | 05:51 |
| wilee-nilee | xmetal, Not any more anyway. ;) | 05:51 |
| djapo | R-800: theres a dvd decoter neaded because dvd movies are slightly encrypted, if i remember correctly it is the css library you need | 05:51 |
| xmetal | :) | 05:51 |
| R-800 | Dr_Willis: I see. I did come across some of the stuff about legal issues in the research I was trying to do. But that didn't exactly encourage me, as one might imagine. | 05:51 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| R-800 | djapo: Thanks. How would I search for that library on a remote computer, since the computer that needs it doesn't have internet access? | 05:52 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: dont get me started on 'dvd movie playback' :) i have 'legal' dvd's that i cant play in a totally 'legal' dvd player (the wifes old sony) due to 'legal' extra copy protection the companies have put on the disks.. | 05:53 |
| djapo | R-800: sudo apt-get install libdvdread3;sudo /usr/shar/doc/libdvdread3/examples/install-css.sh | 05:53 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: so i am forced to do less then legal things to play my legally bought media. | 05:53 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: set up the dvd sutff on a pc that is online, and fifure out what it copied where. and then transfer the files via sneakernet. :) or setup a pc that IS online how you want. then just image it to the 2nd pc. | 05:54 |
| Dr_Willis | that may be even easier. ;) | 05:54 |
| R-800 | djapo: Thank you, but I must confess to have blundered by omitting an important fact: The computer without internet access is the onl one running Ubuntu. The computer WITH internet access is NOT running Ubuntu, but Windows 7. Could things be any more complicated? | 05:55 |
| xmetal | he said windows ... GET'EM | 05:56 |
| xmetal | :P | 05:56 |
| R-800 | Ha ha. | 05:56 |
| xmetal | for the first time i am saying that to someone else | 05:56 |
| djapo | R-800: what version of ubntu are you using ? | 05:56 |
| R-800 | 12.04 LTS. | 05:56 |
| djapo | R-800: packages.ubuntu.com | 05:59 |
| R-800 | djapo: Okay. Here goes... | 05:59 |
| crass | how do I get access to i386 arch from amd64? | 06:00 |
| crass | the amd64 repos appear to have some :i386 packages, but not all | 06:00 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: setup vbox on the internet pc.. and setp linux how you want. then image the vbox install.. or well fifure out how to get internet to the linux box.. ;) sounds like a lot of effort going on here thet could be eliminated by a 15 foot bit of cat-5 cable | 06:01 |
| Ben64 | crass: what are you trying to do | 06:01 |
| R-800 | Dr_Willis: Granted. | 06:02 |
| djapo | crass: enable multiarch | 06:02 |
| crass | Ben64: specifically, I want to get libgl1-mesa-dri:i386 | 06:03 |
| crass | djapo: I have the multiarch-support pkg installed, if that's what you mean | 06:03 |
| Sta1ker | exit | 06:03 |
| djapo | crass: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MultiArch | 06:05 |
| leaf_watoru | hi to everyone. what you think: does ubuntu edge campaign wins? | 06:05 |
| Ben64 | crass: uh.. have you tried "sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri:i386" | 06:05 |
| crass | djapo: thanks, just found that | 06:05 |
| R-800 | djapo: I didn't see the css library available under the libraries section of that site. Did I look for it in the wrong section? | 06:05 |
| djapo | R-800: libdvdread3 not css | 06:06 |
| crass | Ben64: no, but its not listed in synaptic | 06:06 |
| crass | Ben64: but it looks like that might work | 06:06 |
| R-800 | djapo: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Okay. | 06:06 |
| djapo | R-800: wait | 06:06 |
| djapo | R-800: its libdvdread4 | 06:07 |
| djapo | R-800: and after that run sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 06:07 |
| rajeev | I have installed ubuntu on my new system. I have installed LAMP server, but when I am trying to run a drupal instance at localhost/drupal for the folder drupal which is inside www, it says "You don't have permission to access /drupal on this server." | 06:08 |
| R-800 | djapo: Okay, so, can this library be downloaded on the windows machine and then sneakernetted to the Unbutu machine? If so, what will the destination path be for placing the transferred file? | 06:08 |
| === rajeev is now known as RajeevK | ||
| djapo | R-800: download the file into usb and place into your linux desktop | 06:10 |

| Marlenee | i get error after run typescript command : Segmentation fault | 06:14 |
| Marlenee | it show me this error every cmmnad i run | 06:14 |
| R-800 | djapo: Got it. Thanks. One last question. I used Ubuntu once before, and had no problem getting to the terminal. But the interface seems to be different now, and I can't bring up a command line. What am I missing? | 06:14 |
| Marlenee | even "ls -l" | 06:14 |

| Dr_Willis | !terminal | 06:18 |
| ubottu | The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal | 06:18 |

| R-800 | Dr_Willis: Thanks. Now here's a really easy one.... What is the exact path to the Ubuntu desktop??? | 06:18 |
| Dr_Willis | that ubuntu manual may be worth copying over to the pc - befor you give it away also | 06:19 |
| shadowfios | hello I am trying to setup a finerprint system are there any recommended libraries to do so? | 06:19 |
| Dr_Willis | R-800: you mean 'Desktop' in your home directory? ;) | 06:19 |
| R-800 | Dr_Willis: Yes, I believe so. | 06:19 |
| djapo | R-800: type pwd into a terminal | 06:19 |
| djapo | R-800: that will give you your current working directory | 06:20 |
| djapo | R-800: for example /home/username | 06:20 |
| R-800 | Okay, so far so good... | 06:20 |
| djapo | R-800: than the path to the desktop will be /home/username/Desktop/ | 06:21 |
| R-800 | djapo: Got it. Thanks. | 06:21 |
| berryciderspider | Will Razer keyboards work on ubuntu? If not macro's, at least the standard keys? | 06:21 |
| R-800 | djapo: That seems to have done something. | 06:24 |
| R-800 | djapo: Possibly something good. | 06:24 |
| Dr_Willis | berryciderspider: i would think so, My razor ouse works fine. I think theres some razor tools out for linux to give you the extra features also | 06:24 |
| djapo | R-800: have you installed css yet | 06:25 |
| berryciderspider | Dr_Willis: Would the black widow be suitable for programming as well, and if not which keyboard would you recommend? | 06:25 |
| R-800 | djapo: I thought so. How will I know if it worked? | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | berryciderspider: i dont really see what would make a keyboard 'suitable for programming' or not. | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | berryciderspider: if you can type on it.. its suitable | 06:26 |
| shadowfios | hello i am trying to program a fingerprint authentication system in ubuntu are there any recommended libraries that are in c/c++ | 06:26 |
| Dr_Willis | shadowfios: i thought that feature/tools were allready in the repos. with a pam module or somthing. | 06:27 |
| djapo | R-800: have you done sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh | 06:27 |
| R-800 | djapo: It made several references in the terminal to things like Unpacking libdvdread4, Setting up libdvdread4, Processing triggers for libc-bin..., ldconfic deferred processing now taking place, then it returned me to the prompt. | 06:28 |
| R-800 | djapo: Oops. Didn't do that yet. | 06:28 |
| berryciderspider | Dr_Willis: Do you use a standard mechanical keyboard or laptop-like-key keyboard? | 06:28 |
| Dr_Willis | berryciderspider: i literally have.. like 30+ keyboards around this house ive used over the years. | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | berryciderspider: and yes i do have some of the old IBM-Model-M clicky-clacky keytboards | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | I also have some gamer-keyboards (a G15) that works fine | 06:29 |
| Dr_Willis | i got about 20 keyboards - i need to load up and take to goodwill. ;) I dont need that many | 06:30 |
| penguinman | honestly I find i like the cheap ones the best. basically the $10 a pop ones you can pick up at any office supply store. | 06:30 |
| Dr_Willis | Logitech has some decent keyboards for a fair price these days. | 06:30 |
| Dr_Willis | theres one you can wash in the sink for like $20 | 06:30 |
| R-800 | djapo: It looks like the fetch failed. Lots of stuff came up on the screen. It would take a while to relay it all. | 06:31 |
| xmetal | i have to say hardware wise i have always went with and loved Logitech | 06:31 |
| penguinman | actually, as much as I hate to admit it, my current favorite keyboards are actually made by microsoft. | 06:31 |
| Dr_Willis | i got a few logitech disasters - where they did 'innovative' things and made the boards a pain to use. ;) | 06:31 |
| djapo | R-800: lol, i forgo tyou don't have internet on that pc | 06:31 |
| djapo | R-800: hold on | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | like remaping the F keys to be MS Word macro keys by default. ;P | 06:32 |
| R-800 | djapo: I thought that might be it. It listed various URLs, as if it was looking for a connection. | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | djapo: ;) thats sort of the whole issue he has. ;P | 06:32 |
| xmetal | the "cheaper ones" (only a few bucks less then the logitechs i have gotten are a pain to use iMHO | 06:32 |
| xmetal | the "no name" brand ones i mean | 06:32 |
| penguinman | Dr_Willis: i actually liked the wave, just a little large for my desk | 06:32 |
| Dr_Willis | the G15 i have now is a bit over-big also. it has some special Gkeys - that i dont even use. in windows, or linux | 06:33 |
| Dr_Willis | and i wore half the letters off the keys. ;) had to get some stickers to put on them | 06:33 |
| djapo | R-800: download libdvdcss2 from packages.ubuntu.com | 06:34 |
| berryciderspider | Dr_Willis: Not sure if I should get a mechanical keyboard or not... | 06:34 |
| R-800 | djapo: Okay. | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | berryciderspider: i doubt if it matters much | 06:34 |
| Marlenee | Dr_Willis : i cant get out the script command everytime say : Segmentation fault | 06:34 |
| djapo | R-800: and then install it just like you installed this one | 06:34 |
| RajeevK | Can somebody help with "You don't have permission to access /drupal on this server." | 06:34 |
| R-800 | djapo: Okay. | 06:34 |
| Dr_Willis | Marlenee: this is in a screen session or not? | 06:34 |
| penguinman | berryciderspider: they're nice, just loud. and a pretty decent investment for a good one. | 06:35 |
| Marlenee | no its not | 06:35 |
| Dr_Willis | Marlenee: i got no idea then. ive not used the script command in 4+ years at least | 06:35 |
| berryciderspider | penguinman: Are they all suitable for programming? | 06:35 |
| R-800 | djapo: I don't see libdvdcss2 in the list. | 06:36 |
| Marlenee | Dr_Willis : i cant even kill this command | 06:36 |
| penguinman | berryciderspider: depends on what switches you get. the harder switches are mostly for gaming when you're slamming the keys anyway. the softer ones are pretty good though. | 06:37 |
| berryciderspider | penguinman: So brown switches would be best? What about the Diatec Filco ninja? | 06:37 |
| penguinman | berryciderspider: honestly, i'm not sure on brands. like I said, I use a $15 microsoft branded keyboard right now. | 06:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Marlenee: go to console, try killall script perhaps | 06:38 |
| berryciderspider | penguinman: I suppose they're all pretty much the same anyway. | 06:38 |
| Dr_Willis | Marlenee: or ctrl-\ i recall | 06:38 |
| djapo | R-800: hmm indeed ... | 06:39 |
| penguinman | berryciderspider: get an old model M if you can find one. otherwise I'm not sure. | 06:39 |

| R-800 | djapo: I tried to follow all the steps the same way, but the path needs to be changed, and I suspect that it needs to be changed in a way that isn't obvious. The original line read "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdread4/install-css.sh", so should the new line read "sudo /usr/share/doc/libdvdcss2/install-css.sh"? | 07:01 |

| R-800 | penguinman: /home/username/Desktop | 07:03 |

| Dr_Willis | smplayer had a few neat features i recall. ;) | 07:17 |
| djapo | john38: you can assign a program to use a core | 07:17 |
| john38 | djapo, so Ubuntu uses all your cores automatically | 07:17 |
| djapo | john38: the linux kernel manages cores and yes it uses less of them when there is less load and when there is more it uses more | 07:18 |

| HypnotiX | yeah i know | 08:21 |
| HypnotiX | i edited the default.list for that | 08:21 |
| timfrost | HypnotiX: If 'path/to/sublime' doesn't start with a '/', it won't work unless you (or at least the terminal/program you are using to invoke sublime) are in the directory where that path IS valid. You probably need to add the leading ' | 08:24 |

| aldobr | hi again | 08:55 |

| aldobr | but, i found that if i press enter it boots into a correct refresh rate (duh) | 08:55 |

| crazyhorse | is there anything nice and easy? | 09:44 |
| blazemore | crazyhorse: If I were you I'd just encrypt the entire drive you're backing up to with Truecrypt | 09:44 |
| crazyhorse | ok.. that's easy enough | 09:44 |
| crazyhorse | what do i use for rolling backups? | 09:44 |
| blazemore | crazyhorse: And then use a regular incremental backup app to back up to it | 09:44 |
| crazyhorse | any suggestions? | 09:45 |

| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: installed by default | 09:45 |
| crazyhorse | iceroot: does it store everything or just deltas? | 09:46 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: deltas | 09:47 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: first backup = everything, all others backups = deltas with encryption | 09:47 |
| crazyhorse | oh right nice.. ok so a good solution | 09:47 |
| crazyhorse | just a removable harddrive | 09:47 |
| crazyhorse | encrypted with truecrypt.. plug it in, put in pw, run the backup | 09:48 |
| blazemore | yep | 09:49 |
| bekks | crazyhorse: But keep in mind, that you need a running system with truecrypt installed to restore your backup. | 09:49 |
| crazyhorse | bekks: yeah, it only takes a couple of mins to setup | 09:49 |
| crazyhorse | so that should be ok | 09:49 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: the backup itself is using encryption, no need for truecrypt | 09:50 |
| crazyhorse | really, what encryption does it use? | 09:51 |
| crazyhorse | doesn't mention it in the application | 09:51 |
| === vincent is now known as Guest63989 | ||
| blazemore | crazyhorse: I'd still recommend using Truecrypt because then it'll be easier to restore | 09:52 |
| crazyhorse | there are still no options for switching encryption on or off | 09:52 |
| crazyhorse | additionally it says it uses duplicity to do the encryption but i can't see any details of what encyrption it's using | 09:53 |
| bekks | crazyhorse: Is your host system encrypted too? | 09:53 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: man duplicity | 09:53 |
| gsommer | In Gnome Classic, now do I change mouse acceleration? (Not sensitivity) ? | 09:54 |
| crazyhorse | bekks: yeah | 09:54 |
| crazyhorse | not with truecrypt though | 09:54 |

| crazyhorse | iceroot: yeah i'm reading on the website instead :D | 09:55 |
| crazyhorse | ok is it possible to have two sets of backup? | 09:56 |
| crazyhorse | a local office one that happens every day | 09:56 |
| crazyhorse | and a weekly backup that i use with an offsite drive i bring in | 09:56 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: not by default | 09:56 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: it will always create the delta for your last backup, you cant use 2 different deltas | 09:57 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: you have to run duplicity twice with different options | 09:57 |
| crazyhorse | lets say for example i have Computer A backing up to HDD1.. if i then plug in HDD2 and then do another backup | 09:57 |
| crazyhorse | presumably it will run again | 09:57 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: in deja-dup you have to change the target directory, so that you are working on 2 directories (you have ti change it everytime you want a different backup (dayly or weekly) | 09:58 |
| crazyhorse | yeah ok | 09:58 |
| crazyhorse | or maybe have the daily one setup through the UI | 09:58 |
| iceroot_ | crazyhorse: it will run again with the delta for the last backup it will found, so when you switch the hdd it will work | 09:58 |
| crazyhorse | and just have a command i run manually to do the weekly one | 09:58 |

| ezra-s | kari, problem with adobe flash is that it is no longer supported under linux so installing it manually will probably have you with outdated version, so your best bet imo is to use Google Chrome | 12:11 |

| moldy | trying to update 10.04 to 12.04. /var/lib/dpkg/status apparently contains several corruptions, e.g. dpkg: error: parsing file '/var/lib/dpkg/status' near line 54558 package 'libgnome2-0' duplicate value for `Package' field | 12:15 |
| moldy | how do i fix this? | 12:15 |
| === liam_ is now known as Guest22339 | ||
| ezra-s | moldy, have you tried "sudo apt-get -f install" ? | 12:16 |
| ShapeShifter499 | I have this odd issue, I have two similar hotspot devices, known as the Overdrive and Overdrive Pro. The latter being a smaller brother of the two devices. Anyways they seem to use the same USB id codes when connected to my ubuntu system and therefor the two tethered connections are treated as one although there should be two. How do I fix this? | 12:17 |
| moldy | ezra-s: yep. all the standard ways fail because the status file is corrupted | 12:17 |
| ezra-s | I have no experience with that upgrade, didn't even know it could be done, although it may make sense since it is lts 2 lts | 12:17 |
| moldy | ezra-s: i.e. apt-get -f install, apt-get autoclean, etc. | 12:17 |
| Guest22339 | why does firefox not use libnotify other than it not linking driectly to downloads folder after a download being completed | 12:17 |
| philinux | ezra-s: Flash version here is 11.2.202.297 and still getting security updates | 12:17 |
| kari | ezra-s, where i can set autologin on in this xubuntu .config/xfce? | 12:17 |
| philinux | ezra-s: using firefox | 12:18 |
| ezra-s | moldy, my best bet would be to go to /var/lib/dpkg/status and see that line, maybe remove it, making a backup of course | 12:18 |
| ezra-s | wild speculation | 12:18 |
| ezra-s | philinux, installed from .deb package from the distro? | 12:18 |
| === andrex is now known as andrex|off | ||
| cutie | ActionParsnip: moldy could use your dropbox apt-fixing script | 12:19 |
| philinux | ezra-s: yes | 12:19 |
| moldy | ezra-s: yeah, i fixed the corruptions manually now, seems to work | 12:19 |
| ezra-s | philinux, thanks for letting us know , will check that when I get home :) | 12:19 |
| babinlonston | Hi | 12:19 |
| ezra-s | moldy, lucky bastage :) | 12:19 |
| ShapeShifter499 | does anyone have any ideas on my issue? | 12:20 |
| moldy | next problem: http://pastebin.com/XTduWVcE apt-get -f install doesn't help | 12:21 |
| babinlonston | I want to contact my office persons though local network and it want to be only local messenger .. i tried gnome2ip messenger and its not working properly it have some dependency problem, Any one have local ip mesesenger ? | 12:21 |
| ezra-s | ShapeShifter499, I have no idea, if they are different devices they should be treated as such, same id would imply a hw manufacturing error, afaik, I bet they have different MAC Address, so here is my super wild scpeculation without even looking, there could be some kind of automatic bonding there? (feeling wild today) | 12:22 |
| Guest22339 | why does firefox not use libnotify other than it not linking driectly to downloads folder after a download being completed o also cant seem to find any way to implament it | 12:22 |
| Fieldy | babinlonston: set up a jabber server and use something that can talk jabber, like pidgin. you can compile it to only support jabber if you wish. | 12:22 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ezra-s, if this is true would I have doubled speeds? | 12:23 |
| babinlonston | Fieldy: will it work around my local network ? | 12:23 |
| philinux | ezra-s: quote "First of all, Adobe will start enforcing this new policy only after Flash Player 11.2 is officially released. Then, after that, it will continue providing security updates for five years for non-Pepper versions of their software. | 12:23 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ezra-s, one alone gives me around 500kb/s to 1mb/s | 12:23 |
| ezra-s | ShapeShifter499, no idea really | 12:23 |
| ezra-s | ShapeShifter499, sorry | 12:24 |
| philinux | ezra-s: from here. good explanation. http://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/flash-linux-future.html | 12:24 |
| ezra-s | philinux, there it is.. thanks for sharing it man!, I knew I had read something about it but I didn't remember it perfectly | 12:24 |
| ezra-s | kari, see what philinux has shared | 12:24 |
| kari | ezra-s, thank you :) | 12:25 |
| ezra-s | basically if something somewhere requires flash over 11.2 you are screwed :P | 12:25 |
| ezra-s | don't know if chrome will go further | 12:25 |
| Fieldy | no big loss | 12:26 |

| bekks | ezra-s: chrome is at 11.7 already... | 12:27 |
| GrubInitram | Can somebody help me with grub + initram although I use Trisquel? | 12:27 |
| GrubInitram | Can somebody help me with grub + initram + cryptsetup although I use Trisquel? | 12:28 |
| bekks | GrubInitram: Whats trisquel? | 12:28 |
| DJones | GrubInitram: This channel only supports the official Ubuntu releases | 12:28 |
| GrubInitram | Oh, ok | 12:29 |
| GrubInitram | Trisquel is a free distribution based on Ubuntu | 12:29 |
| georoot | hi can someone tell me how to compile a c application to plain .bin in ubuntu?? | 12:29 |
| bekks | GrubInitram: And its not an official release, so it isnt supported in gere. | 12:29 |
| bekks | *here | 12:29 |
| ezra-s | the article gets funny at the near bottom | 12:30 |
| GrubInitram | I guessed, but my question is regarding a common package. Doesn't that count? | 12:30 |
| GrubInitram | :D? | 12:30 |
| georoot | hi can someone tell me how to compile a c application to plain .bin in ubuntu?? | 12:30 |
| fidel | !repeat | 12:30 |
| DJones | GrubInitram: I'm afraid not, we don't support other variants because we don't know what changes they dev's could have made | 12:30 |
| ubottu | Don't feel ignored and repeat your question quickly; if nobody knows your answer, nobody will answer you. While you wait, try searching https://help.ubuntu.com or http://ubuntuforums.org or http://askubuntu.com/ | 12:30 |
| moldy | georoot: nothing ubuntu specific about it. use gcc. | 12:30 |
| georoot | tell me syantax in gcc please.. | 12:31 |
| ikonia | syntax ? | 12:31 |
| ikonia | for what | 12:31 |
| GrubInitram | That's an odd question | 12:31 |
| hayer | He wants to compile a .c -> .bin | 12:31 |
| moldy | georoot: which application is it? | 12:31 |
| Spec-Chum | geowhat are you trying to do? | 12:31 |
| Spec-Chum | whoops | 12:31 |
| Spec-Chum | georoot: ^^ | 12:31 |
| OerHeks | GrubInitram, /join #trisquel | 12:31 |
| georoot | simple application for a school | 12:32 |
| moldy | georoot: if you just have one c file, iirc you can do "cc foo.c" | 12:32 |
| hayer | gcc -o test.bin test.c | 12:32 |
| bekks | GrubInitram: No, it doesnt count. We dont know whats different in trisquel. Please refer to the trisquel support. | 12:32 |
| GrubInitram | Ok | 12:32 |
| georoot | thanks hayer | 12:32 |
| GrubInitram | I see that you are busy with many questions | 12:32 |
| moldy | georoot: that will create a file a.out. or you can use the -o switch as mentioned by hayer. | 12:32 |
| GrubInitram | I'll leave you alone | 12:32 |
| moldy | how do i fix unmet dependencies if apt-get -f doesn't do it? | 12:33 |
| GrubInitram | moldy: you could try installing aptitude: "sudo apt-get install aptitude" and then run it: "sudo aptitude" or you can try synaptics | 12:34 |
| === andrex|off is now known as andrex | ||
| OerHeks | Carefull with Aptitude on a 64 bit system. | 12:35 |
| OerHeks | moldy what errors do you get? use paste.ubuntu.com to paste | 12:35 |
| moldy | GrubInitram: http://pastebin.com/XTduWVcE | 12:36 |
| moldy | GrubInitram: hm, thanks. i thought apt-get was the currently recommended package manager, but i guess i was mistaken about that? | 12:36 |
| === companion is now known as Companion | ||
| GrubInitram | moldy: No don't listen to me | 12:36 |
| GrubInitram | I am a power user, not developer or anything | 12:36 |
| OerHeks | !aptitude | 12:37 |
| ubottu | aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and 12.04) as aptitude cannot handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information. | 12:37 |
| kari | i just noticed, that if i want to shutdown this xubuntu it will hang :D should i try to add acpi=off to kernel parameters? | 12:37 |
| moldy | well, at least aptitiute seems to do some more calculation, i will see how it ends up... | 12:37 |
| GrubInitram | Good luck | 12:38 |
| moldy | thank you :) | 12:38 |
| GrubInitram | moldy: by the way, aptitude can give you several solutions | 12:40 |
| mudkip908 | kari: add acpi_osi="Windows 2006 | 12:41 |
| moldy | unfortunately, aptitude doesn't offer a solution either :( | 12:41 |
| mudkip908 | kari: acpi_osi="Windows 2006" | 12:41 |
| GrubInitram | moldy: if you just run 'sudo aptitude' it displays a window in terminal. you can look for packages pressing l key | 12:41 |
| GrubInitram | oh, sad | 12:41 |
| GrubInitram | Do you have some kind of special ppa or repository | 12:42 |
| GrubInitram | ? | 12:42 |
| kari | mudkip908, why "windows 2006" ??? | 12:42 |
| moldy | GrubInitram: i had a few before the release-upgrade | 12:42 |
| Capprentice | Which channel I might get to chit chat on anything ? This seems a ubuntu only channel :P | 12:42 |
| mudkip908 | kari: because it's a value that works on many computers. you can also try "Windows 2001" and "Windows 2001.1" | 12:43 |
| Pici | Capprentice: #ubuntu-offtopic is our non-support channel. | 12:43 |
| DJones | !alis | Capprentice | 12:43 |
| ubottu | Capprentice: alis is a services bot that can help you find channels. Read "/msg alis help list" for help and ask any questions about it in #freenode. Example usage: /msg alis list #ubuntu* or /msg alis list *http* | 12:43 |
| GrubInitram | Ooohhh, you are doing release-upgrade | 12:43 |
| GrubInitram | Well, that is always a pain for me. | 12:43 |
| moldy | yep :-/ | 12:43 |
| GrubInitram | I think that you should ask the experts around here | 12:44 |
| GrubInitram | By the way, I am not an Ubuntu user. Apparently, I cannot ask questions, but I can help people! HAHAHA | 12:44 |
| GrubInitram | Isn't that ironic? | 12:44 |
| GrubInitram | Well, see you, moldy | 12:44 |
| GrubInitram | I have to see how to solve my own trouble | 12:45 |

| Capprentice | yes ! must not be joke. | 12:57 |
| Capprentice | go on :P | 12:57 |
| Aut0Exec | if i install ubuntu "inside of windows" how much of a performance difference is there? | 12:57 |
| blazemore | Aut0Exec: Do you mean with Wubi? | 12:57 |
| Aut0Exec | vs installing from stratch | 12:57 |
| Aut0Exec | yeah | 12:57 |
| Aut0Exec | with wubi | 12:57 |
| ikonia | Aut0Exec: shouldn't notice anything | 12:57 |
| Aut0Exec | hmmm | 12:57 |
| Capprentice | ?? with Wubi yes. | 12:57 |
| blazemore | Aut0Exec: I noticed the difference | 12:57 |
| ikonia | Aut0Exec: file system differences are the only real differences, the rest should be native | 12:58 |
| blazemore | Aut0Exec: I always recommend a real installation, wubi causes more problems than it solved | 12:58 |
| === maxx is now known as Guest34124 | ||

| Capprentice | thats a limit | 12:58 |
| Aut0Exec | ok | 12:58 |
| k1l_ | Aut0Exec: dont use wubi. wubi is a performance loss since its inside a container on windows and not native | 12:59 |
| Capprentice | Install along side windows. Use windows bootloader. Use EasyBCD to create entries for ubuntu. | 12:59 |
| Capprentice | or may be GRUB. | 12:59 |

| ShapeShifter499 | philinux, about that flash post your shared.... W.I.N.E. can always run that flash player within a windows firefox. Problem solved | 13:01 |
| ikonia | depending on wine is a bad idea | 13:01 |
| ShapeShifter499 | *you shared | 13:01 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ikonia, why? | 13:01 |
| OWDH | Hozsanna | 13:01 |
| Capprentice | Any one used Shockwave player on Wine ? many of the flash games runs on Shockwave player. Have anyone tested wine for that ? Or Unity web player ? | 13:01 |
| ikonia | ShapeShifter499: because it's a moving target | 13:01 |
| Aut0Exec | k1l_: thanks for that... thats kinda what i thought | 13:01 |
| ikonia | OWDH: please stop | 13:02 |
| OWDH | Right | 13:02 |
| ShapeShifter499 | ikonia, how is it a moving target? | 13:02 |
| ikonia | ShapeShifter499: support for components varies from week to week,something that works this week, may fail next week, or require an update to a version that's not available/compatible with the current OS | 13:03 |
| ikonia | hence "moving target" and hence "dependable" solution | 13:03 |
| Capprentice | Anyone knows if Unity beta is launahced for Ubuntu or not ? | 13:03 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: unity beta ? | 13:03 |
| Capprentice | Unity Web Player. The dev team was proposing to launch the Unity Gaming platform for Linux distros too. SO I thought may be it is available now ... | 13:04 |
| ikonia | Capprentice: where is the info on this ? | 13:04 |

| wasanzy | my home directory has become Read-Only file system, even when I tried changing it like chmod -R 777 /home/name am getting permission denied | 13:06 |
| TJ- | Capprentice: Yes; is this what you're wanting? http://unity3d.com/unity/multiplatform/ | 13:06 |
| wasanzy | what could be wrong? | 13:06 |
| ikonia | wasanzy: normally a failure / corruption in the file system drops it into read-only mode | 13:06 |
| TJ- | wasanzy: Likely that the file-system itself has been mounted read-only due to a problem. Check "mount | grep home" | 13:07 |
| wasanzy | TJ:, no output | 13:07 |
| wasanzy | ikonia: then wat can I do? | 13:08 |
| TJ- | wasanzy: OK, so /home is in the rootfs then. So "mount | grep ' / ' " | 13:08 |
| Capprentice | TJ- Yep that is the thing :D | 13:08 |
| ikonia | wasanzy: chances are if you reboot, it will do an fsck on reboot (take some time) and fix itself | 13:08 |
| ikonia | wasanzy: or you could manually do it from a livecd | 13:08 |
| Capprentice | ikonia: http://unity3d.com/unity/multiplatform/desktop | 13:09 |

| ikonia | wasanzy: 1.) reboot and see if it autofsck's / fixes it | 13:10 |
| === hp is now known as Guest10124 | ||

| Guest10124 | Vanilla] Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is a good version of Ubuntu, but it needs a lot of horsepower, that is not available in aging computers. | 13:22 |
| Guest10124 | But the computer would do well with 12.04 and a lighter desktop environment. I suggest that you download the iso files and test them from a CD or USB drive (boot a live session without installing it). And when you see how it works, decide what to install. | 13:22 |

| soman1 | Xubuntu 12.04 Elements of the panel (time, language and fast launch) are not displayed. Is any ways to fix it? | 13:25 |
| TJ- | neko: I suspect what you need to do is remount the file-system with "data=writeback" option *only whilst deleting* to prevent the use of the journal log. Make sure the PC is protected by a UPS or battery first though, since if power goes out it could make a serious mess of the file-system. | 13:25 |
| neko | wow it is in fact a virtualized server | 13:26 |
| neko | i have no physical access to it | 13:26 |
| TJ- | neko: OK, read up on "data-writeback" then so you understand it | 13:26 |
| TJ- | neko: If it is a VPS then I'd guess it is in a UPS-protected data centre | 13:26 |
| neko | ok | 13:27 |
| santanu | does anyone here with some network-configuration knowledge? | 13:27 |
| santanu | I can't bring up my eth0 (or eth1) | 13:28 |
| TJ- | neko: The slowness is caused by every deleting being written to the file-system journal log rather than direct changes to the directory inode, and then having to be committed separately. | 13:28 |
| santanu | it's an Intel e10003 on-board card | 13:28 |
| kari | can someone point out for me some manual. i can try to figure this out also. i have tryed to google, but i can't find good solution. i can hear that HDD shutdowns, but still its halted | 13:28 |
| neko | TJ- : in fact my problem is not that it is slow, it is that commands to delete files keep on dying | 13:29 |
| santanu | *intel e1000e | 13:29 |
| kari | other words, when i press shutdown it hangs. | 13:29 |
| neko | TJ- : well find . -delete seems to not dying right now | 13:29 |
| TJ- | santanu: what does this show? "lspci -nn | egrep -i 'Ethernet' " | 13:30 |
| neko | will wait, if i have not success with this will try to mount it without the data-writeback | 13:30 |
| neko | TJ- : thanks for the informations | 13:31 |
| GothPaw | so I have a load to black screen issue that I tried "nomodeset" however it did not work but it did lead me to an error --> xinit: unable to connect to X server: Resource temporarily unavailable. Please note that this did not happen before installing kubuntu-desktop for my wife sine she doesn't like Unity (13.04). Any suggestions? | 13:31 |
| santanu | TJ: 00:19:0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation Device [8086:153b] (rev 04) | 13:32 |
| TJ- | neko: Run the command from 'screen'. Whilst it is running, press Ctrl+A then C to create a new shell, and in that shell run "top" and see if the 'find' process is busy. To switch back to the 'find' window press Ctrl+A then N. After the commands have stopped, do Ctrl+A then \ to exit the screen sessions. | 13:32 |

| TJ- | santanu: OK, so that's the e1000e driver. | 13:35 |
| neko | TJ- : :) i hope it will not need as much time | 13:35 |

| mohitS | Hey guys, does anybody know what's the command (key combination) assigned to the power key in Ubuntu(linux).i.e. what happens in background when we press powerkey on our desktop/laptop having linux installed? | 13:37 |
| TJ- | Capprentice: Yes... got it sat next to me on a specially configured 'caddy' machine I use for this stuff; it's got about 25GiB of damaged sectors through physical shock. So far its recovered 450GiB | 13:37 |
| santanu | TJ- : "dmesg| grep e1000" reports it does | 13:37 |
| TJ- | santanu: OK, so your issue with the interfaces not coming up is more likely down to what they are physically connected to possibly? | 13:37 |
| === babilen_ is now known as babilen | ||
| TJ- | santanu: Have you verified the ethernet cables are OK, that the hosts/switches on the other end are fine? When a cable is plugged in does the kern.log show the interface link being detected? | 13:38 |
| mustmodify_ | I'm trying to grep through Rails logs. Is there a way I can say " and stop and the first blank line" instead of using -A7 etc which will sometimes include the next log entry and sometimes not include the entire current entry? | 13:38 |
| mustmodify_ | with grep | 13:39 |
| mustmodify_ | sorry I must have edited that out :) | 13:39 |
| TJ- | santanu: You should see something like "e1000: eth6 NIC Link is Up 1000 Mbps Full Duplex, Flow Control: RX/TX" | 13:39 |
| santanu | TJ- : I think I sould mention: I swaped the HDD from a machine with a realtek card on it | 13:39 |
| TJ- | santanu: OK, I think I know your issue! Listen closely :) | 13:39 |
| mohitS | anyone guys? | 13:40 |
| OWDH | mohits bro ola | 13:40 |
| mohitS | ola OWDH | 13:40 |
| TJ- | santanu: To ensure NIC interfaces get the same name, udev keeps a note of the first time an NIC is seen and associated a name to its MAC address. It keeps that info in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules. My bet is that the Intel interfaces are there but with higher numbers. If you want to get the original interface numbers you'll need to either edit that file, or delete the custom lines in it, and let udev rediscover the new interfaces and assign numbers f | 13:41 |
| TJ- | rom 0 again | 13:41 |
| mohitS | I was having a small query related to the commands assingned to the buttons in linux system | 13:41 |
| santanu | TJ- : just FYI..... I traied editing 70-persistent-net.rules with the new MAC address, that didn;t work at all | 13:41 |
| mohitS | what is the command (key combination) assigned to the powerbutton on linux machine. I'm trying to automate some small things using it | 13:41 |
| OWDH | right | 13:42 |
| mohitS | appreciate any help | 13:42 |
| blazemore | the power button as in... the button that turns on/off the PC, mohitS ? | 13:42 |
| mohitS | yes | 13:42 |
| TJ- | santanu: So delete/comment out all the existing rules in there and try again. You should be able to unload the e1000e module, restart udev, and reload e1000e | 13:42 |
| blazemore | That button is special t's not like a keyboard button | 13:42 |
| santanu | TJ- : If I reboot the machine with 70-persistent-net.rules removed, it doesn't cretae the file autometically | 13:42 |
| blazemore | It sends some sort of ACPI command | 13:42 |
| mohitS | on pressing which you get the options (reboot/shutodn/restart/suspend/cancel) | 13:42 |
| mohitS | @blazemore In any way can we simulate the same things using terminal | 13:43 |
| TJ- | santanu: You should only need to comment out/delete the custom rules. I would have thought though that udev just recreates that file if it is missing. | 13:43 |
| blazemore | mohitS: yes, the "reboot" and "shutdown" commands | 13:43 |
| TJ- | santanu: When you run "ifconfig | grep eth" what do you get? | 13:43 |
| santanu | TJ- : let me try again | 13:44 |
| mohitS | @blazemore: those command will actually take respective action reboot/shutdown | 13:44 |
| blazemore | mohitS: Yes that's right | 13:44 |
| mohitS | what I want is just send the power button interrupt, no | 13:44 |
| mohitS | action, as pressing power button just the popup comes | 13:44 |
| mohitS | nothing happens until we select the options... | 13:44 |
| blazemore | oh that's kind of technical mohitS ... start here maybe http://linuxgazette.net/106/pramode.html | 13:45 |
| Capprentice | mohitS, On my Ubuntu machine it just shutsdown the pc without any warning or anything :P | 13:45 |
| mohitS | @blazemore: thnx dude, will check it out surely | 13:45 |
| blazemore | mohitS: I guess you could start weith "tail -F /proc/acpi/event" and press the button | 13:45 |
| mohitS | @Capprentice: that may be because of setting that you have opted | 13:46 |
| TJ- | santanu: you ought to see something like this in dmesg/kern.log when the module loads: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5977342/ | 13:46 |
| mohitS | not able to read the /proc/acpi/event that might be a service, running continuously | 13:47 |
| meowsus | I've noticed that, on occasion, Unity will just freeze after being opened making my desktop unusable. When I switch over to TTY1 and run `top` I see Compiz is blasting forward with 100% of my CPU. I'm wondering what is happening, but there are no logs associated with compiz that I can find. Can anyone help me figure out how to debug something like this, seemingly without logfiles? | 13:47 |
| kari | hello again. i have new information :). if i press main switch to power off it works (i think even too fast almost like "init 0") but i choose power off button from menu it will hang. Does that help anybody to solve this? | 13:47 |
| santanu | TJ- : I don't see that in my dmesg at all | 13:48 |
| santanu | TJ- : what am I missing? | 13:48 |
| ActionPa1snip | kari: try: sudo shutdown -h now to shutdown | 13:48 |
| TJ- | santanu: Well, your module is e1000e not e1000 so you might need to adjust the regular expression | 13:49 |
| philinux | meowsus: look in the xorg log files in your home | 13:49 |
| mohitS | @kari: init 0, shutdown -h now, shutdown -h 0, poweroff are almost used for same purpose, with some diff of what steps they take to poweroff your sys | 13:49 |
| meowsus | philinux: Word, checking... | 13:49 |
| kari | ActionPa1snip, i tried that already and it hangs. /etc/default/halt has HALT=poweroff line... | 13:49 |
| santanu | TJ- : I simply tried "dmesg | grep -i e1000" - that should catch the rest | 13:50 |
| philinux | meowsus: I meant xsession errors soz | 13:50 |
| TJ- | santanu: Well then I'd read dmesg/kern.log line-by-line to ensure the driver is loading! | 13:51 |
| santanu | TJ- : I also get "missing $INTERFACE" if I try: "/lib/udev/write_net_rules all_interfaces" | 13:51 |
| kari | ActionPa1snip, only way to shutdown computer is to press now straight that power switch. it doesn't even wait that splash screen :D its fast!! | 13:51 |
| TJ- | santanu: You set INTERFACE before calling it I assume? | 13:51 |
| kari | ActionPa1snip, and i think it will harm my hdd if it does it like that | 13:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | kari: how? its a graceful shutdown... | 13:51 |
| santanu | TJ- : what about "lsmod"? It lists the module there | 13:52 |
| TJ- | santanu: Does it report e1000e ? | 13:52 |
| kanyl | What's a good place to put stuff that shared between users? Putting something in my home and chmodding it seems ugly, is there a standard path where shared files usually go? | 13:52 |
| kari | ActionPa1snip, i don't know. i have acpi disabled from bios (because it doesn't work so well my computer starts to lag with it) | 13:52 |
| meowsus | philinux: Sweet, thanks man. I'm seeing some stuff in here, for sure! | 13:52 |
| mohitS | @kari init 0 is the exactly the same, the way you select shutdown from the gear icon | 13:53 |
| TJ- | santanu: Thing is, the module will report what it is doing and that should be in the system logs. If it isn't then either the syslog daemon is faulty or else the module is stuck. | 13:53 |
| santanu | TJ- : I did "modprobe e1000e" first | 13:53 |
| kari | mohitS, ok...hmmm | 13:53 |
| philinux | meowsus: I also check /var/log/xorg.0/ | 13:53 |
| philinux | meowsus: I also check /var/log/xorg.0.log | 13:54 |
| kari | mohitS, well can we look to some log file or? to figure this out...i don't like to guess :) | 13:54 |
| DanDuncombe | I ran the command: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get upgrade and now the mouse won't move. I am using the latest Kubuntu. Help? | 13:54 |
| mohitS | @kari you can have a look at kernel logs in /var/log/kern.log | 13:55 |
| TJ- | santanu: Which version of Ubuntu is this on? It may be the module doesn't have an alias for your device | 13:55 |
| OxONexus | t | 13:55 |
| santanu | TJ- : 12.04 | 13:55 |
| mustmodify_ | I have grepped a log for a username. Now I want to say "now get rid of \n\nProcessing and all lines that follow it up to but excluding \n---" ... any thoughts? | 13:56 |
| TJ- | santanu: Hmmm, this might be the issue. Try this: "sudo lspci -nnvv -d 8086:153b" and tell us what the kernel driver lines show | 13:56 |
| mohitS | there you can check where your system is getting problem, or just enable kernel logs by doing echo 10 > /proc/sys/kernel/printk | 13:56 |
| TJ- | santanu: Then check if the kernel module has the alias by doing "modinfo e1000e | grep -i 153B" | 13:56 |

| TJ- | santanu: On 12.04 you can install a backported (newer) kernel to get the hardware driver support you need without a full release upgrade. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Release/Rolling | 13:59 |
| santanu | TJ- : "modinfo e1000e | grep -i 153B" doesn't return anything at all. "modinfo e1000e" does a lot though | 14:00 |

| TJ- | santanu: If you get nothing from the grep then that answers your issue. The 12.04 kernel doesn't have support for the hardware in the e1000e driver. So you need to install a more recent kernel. See that link I just posted for how to go about that | 14:01 |

| soy_el_pulpo | aFeijo: you need to assign it a different group | 14:47 |
| blazemore | aFeijo: "useradd" also attempts to create a group with the same name as the user, but in ths case that group already exists | 14:47 |
| John___ | .no its my flash drive | 14:47 |

| nicksloan | supervisor looks like it is trying to start itself once it has been installed. The init scripts are really bad, and I've provided my own upstart script for it, so I'd prefer it not start itself until my puppet provisioner has had a chance to add the upstart scripts. Is there a good way to prevent this startup upon installation? | 14:55 |

| cfhowlett | xqee, details ... | 14:57 |
| John___ | Je | 14:57 |
| John___ | *Ye | 14:57 |
| John___ | Also I dont have any CDs around so I cant CD | 14:57 |
| blazemore | !anyone | xqee | 14:57 |
| ubottu | xqee: A high percentage of the first questions asked in this channel start with "Does anyone/anybody..." Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. | 14:57 |
| cfhowlett | John___, wubi is for TESTING ubuntu not for long-term installation. consider dualbooting | 14:57 |
| John___ | I am dualbooting... | 14:58 |
| John___ | When I launch it asks me for Ubuntu or Windows XP | 14:58 |
| John___ | And this is for school and it starts tomorrow so I need it ASAP | 14:58 |
| xqee | when imgur bash script give me url of pic i want copy that url to text file | 14:58 |
| cfhowlett | John___, wubi is not dual booting. but suit yourself. | 14:58 |
| MonkeyDust | John___ wubi is only a pseudo-installatuion inside windows | 14:58 |
| John___ | oh | 14:58 |
| OerHeks | John___, you started with"<John___> I need some help, I just used Wubi to install Ubuntu 12.04" so that is not real dualboot. | 14:58 |
| John___ | how to I access it then? | 14:59 |
| MonkeyDust | John___ if you would erase windows, ubuntu would be gone too -- with a normal installation, ubuntu stays if you delete windows | 15:00 |
| xqee | how to copy grep output text automaticky to text file ? | 15:00 |
| somsip | xqee: grep match fromfile > tofile | 15:01 |
| John___ | so how do I access Ubuntu? | 15:01 |
| g_byers | damm something weird is going on, there is no power to my usb ports until the os boots, any solution, it's happened since I installed grub, any solution, can you boot via usb from grub? | 15:01 |
| xqee | somsip thanks | 15:01 |
| blazemore | John___: If I were you I'd unnstall Ubuntu/wubi and do a proper Ubuntu installation | 15:01 |
| John___ | well | 15:01 |
| John___ | im not to good at this tech sutuff | 15:02 |
| cfhowlett | g_byers, kill wubi. do a proper dual boot. | 15:02 |
| John___ | id probably mess it up | 15:02 |
| TJ- | xqee: You can pipe it all using the redirection ">" or use a pipe through tee " grep .... | tee myfile.txt | 15:02 |
| g_byers | cfhowlett I have | 15:02 |
| Nick797 | Would anyone know how I can make tcpflow run in the background? tcpflow & simply stays in the foreground somehow | 15:02 |
| g_byers | my machine is windows free | 15:02 |
| g_byers | >.> | 15:02 |
| TJ- | g_byers: BIOS, enable Legacy USB support | 15:02 |
| cfhowlett | John___, all the things that break windows will doubly break wubi. and if a windows error causes wubi to break, your ubuntu is pretty much hosed ... | 15:02 |
| wilee-nilee | g_byers, How are you confirming no power at usb, grub would have no relevance | 15:02 |
| John___ | ok but how do I launch WUBI? | 15:03 |
| John___ | to run Linux? | 15:03 |
| jonascj | I'm having trouble making libvirtd start properly. Should I try to seek help here in #ubuntu or is it a question for #virt? | 15:03 |
| g_byers | ok, lets get really technical, there is no blinky lights on usb till debian/ ubuntu starts | 15:03 |
| Nick797 | lolol | 15:03 |
| John___ | also when I uninstall Wubi will the bootloader be back to normal? | 15:04 |
| g_byers | wilee-nilee it seems that there is no power until an os starts | 15:05 |
| wilee-nilee | g_byers, I can tell I will be of no help to you. | 15:05 |
| cfhowlett | John___, probably not without repairing the windows bootloader with windows repair tools | 15:05 |
| John___ | well, i meant making it so it would boot straight to XP again | 15:06 |
| cfhowlett | John___, I understand that. wubi has written a change to the windows bootloader. Google around a bit for the cure, but last time I did it, the bootloader didn't reset... which is why you back it up before you wubi. but you did that, right? | 15:07 |
| John___ | uhm | 15:07 |
| John___ | no | 15:07 |
| John___ | i dont mess around with stuff in system32 | 15:07 |
| John___ | ever | 15:07 |
| cfhowlett | John___, :) | 15:07 |
| blazemore | John___: Boot into windows, start->run->msconfig->boot | 15:08 |
| John___ | so am I stuck with ubuntu now? xP | 15:08 |
| John___ | ok im there | 15:08 |
| g_byers | wilee-nilee humm turning off "Fast BIOS mode" seemed to solve it, weird, never had the problem before this :S | 15:08 |
| blazemore | John___: If you can't boot into Windows, use your Windows install disk to do a repair; this'll reinstall the Windows bootloader | 15:08 |
| John___ | ah | 15:09 |
| John___ | I see the MSCONFIG | 15:09 |
| John___ | Do I just remove C:\wubildr=Ubuntu? | 15:09 |
| === mpw_ is now known as mpw | ||
| blazemore | Yes or you can just uninstall Ubuntu from add/remove programs | 15:09 |
| blazemore | Or rearrange the options so Windows is default | 15:10 |
| blazemore | And if you want to do Ubuntu again, do a real install with real partitioning; it's way less likely to go wrong | 15:10 |
| John___ | OK | 15:10 |
| blazemore | How many files is it reasonable to have in a single directory with ext4? Something silly like a trillion, or will I run into problems with a couple of thousand? | 15:11 |
| John___ | BTW- is there an IRC for dual bootd? | 15:12 |
| somsip | blazemore: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ext4 has all this and more... | 15:12 |

| bkfitz | trying to allow my developers to upload code to my apache instance via sftp... questions: I believe Openssh is handling the sftp, how do I change the default directory to /var/www/codetest? | 15:19 |
| bkfitz | Does it just dump users into their home | 15:19 |
| xangua | is it just me or firefox 23 no longer shows the ongoing downloads in the download toolbar button¿ didn't happened in the previous version | 15:19 |
| blazemore | bkfitz: Change their home directory | 15:19 |
| bkfitz | I could change the ftpwww users home directory to /var/www/codetest but then i have bash config files etc in there | 15:19 |
| bkfitz | blazemore, :) | 15:19 |
| blazemore | bkfitz: By default most clients will put stuff in the home directory unless told otherwise | 15:19 |
| Roshan | i need to share my mobile broadband to android(Nexus 4) | 15:19 |
| bkfitz | blazemore, so it's safe to have the bash defaults in /var/www | 15:19 |
| Roshan | mobile broadband configured with wvdial .. | 15:20 |
| bkfitz | blazemore, or are you suggesting i delete them | 15:20 |
| AlexZion | saiarcot895: I guess you need to do it on firewall level ...., there is a good tool to easily manage the firewall and share the connection , you get it on repo looking for "firestarter" | 15:20 |
| blazemore | bkfitz: What client are your devs using to upload? | 15:20 |
| bkfitz | probably filezilla | 15:20 |
| santanu | blazemore: any idea why keyboard doesn't work in 3.8.0-27 kernel? | 15:20 |
| blazemore | santanu: No | 15:20 |
| bkfitz | blazemore, could just have them change the remote dir i guess | 15:20 |
| icelite | b/claer | 15:21 |
| blazemore | bkfitz: Take a look here http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/OpenSSH/Cookbook/SFTP#Chrooted_SFTP-only_Accounts | 15:22 |

| xangua | wilee-nilee: i did disable all related ubuntu addons (acounts, unity, etc) and still doesn't show them...it does still however show the 'download finished' popup in the top right corner wich was introduced in firefox 22 I believe and can't find a way to reset it to it's original position | 15:36 |
| jamescarr | blazemore: how fast is that mirror you posted? | 15:37 |
| blazemore | jamescarr: Faster than you | 15:37 |
| jamescarr | blazemore: haha :) | 15:37 |
| blazemore | I guarentee it | 15:37 |
| blazemore | gigabit | 15:37 |
| jamescarr | just curious. I started downing from MIT before yo posted it, currently at 30% | 15:37 |
| blazemore | Both me and MIT will max out your connections so stick with MITs | 15:37 |
| blazemore | I'll delete that iso now anyway I don't plan to run a public Ubuntu mirror | 15:38 |
| wilee-nilee | xangua, I'm not sure of any specific fix other than a new user, or full reset and or a full purge and reload. | 15:39 |
| OerHeks | xangua, " firefox -safe-mode " and try reset or safe mode | 15:39 |
| counterglitch | hey everyone I'm having a problem with Steam on raring. Installed from steampowered.com and launched, updated. The initial screen appears where it asks me to login or create an account, but I can't click anything | 15:42 |
| napsc | So, I've never messed with my the default log rotation scheme. I would like to change my syslog rotation to weekly and retain 8 weeks of logs. After researching, my head is spinning so i wanted to verify with people who might be more familiar with the way logrotate is broken up... I need to change /etc/logrotate.d/rsyslog file and change the /var/log/syslog section to weekly rotate 8, correct? | 15:42 |
| ActionPa1snip | counterglitch: tried running a no compiziting session? | 15:43 |
| counterglitch | ActionPalsnip: thanks for the tip | 15:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | counterglitch: I assume you use Unity shell under Compiz + Gnome | 15:43 |
| ActionPa1snip | !steam | 15:43 |
| ubottu | Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. | 15:43 |
| counterglitch | ActionPalsnip: I'm using default session which I assume is Unity with compiz+gnome | 15:44 |
| ActionPa1snip | counterglitch: aye, try something like xfce4 | 15:44 |
| counterglitch | ActionPalsnip How do I temp. disable compositing? | 15:44 |
| ActionPa1snip | counterglitch: seems steam is in the repos | 15:46 |
| ActionPa1snip | !info steam | 15:46 |

| ActionPa1snip | counterglitch: if its ok in XFCE then compiz is probably not processing clicks right. YOu will also get higher FPS as XFCE uses fewer resources | 15:48 |
| blazemore | ch4k3r: What Ubuntu version? | 15:48 |

| ch4k3r | Is there a way to make Ubuntu automatically execute a script with sudo on startup? | 15:50 |
| ch4k3r | from the terminal | 15:50 |
| ch4k3r | I'd like to make /Desktop/defense.sh execute on startup. | 15:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: does the command need the x server to be running? | 15:50 |
| ch4k3r | no, actionpa1snip | 15:50 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: then run: gksud ogedit /etc/rc.local and add the command above the 'exit 0' line | 15:51 |
| ch4k3r | I want this script: /home/chaker/Desktop/defense.sh to execute at startup with sudo. | 15:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: you will need to use absolute referencing | 15:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: add an ampersand to the end of the line, so it will be: /home/chaker/Desktop/defense.sh & | 15:51 |
| Pici | 70 | 15:51 |
| ch4k3r | I just add /home/chaker/Desktop/defense.sh at /etc/rc.local | 15:52 |
| ch4k3r | and that's it? | 15:52 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: yes, above 'exit 0' and with an ampersand at the end as I showed you | 15:53 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: it will run as root and just before the DM loads | 15:53 |
| ch4k3r | what is an ampersand? | 15:54 |
| Pici | ch4k3r: & | 15:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: shift + 7 | 15:54 |
| * genii sips and ponders octothorpes | 15:54 | |

| ch4k3r | like that? | 15:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: no | 15:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: in the file there is the line 'exit 0' that is the LAST line, if you add lines below that they will not get ran | 15:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: if you add them above, they wil be ran as root | 15:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: you add the ampersand so that they get bckgrounded and do not hang the boot if they go awry | 15:55 |

| someGuest | Hello, I was wondering if someone could help me. I have a question about the LTS Enablement Stack. This sentence concerns me: "These enablement stacks are only intended for use on x86 hardware at this time." Link: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack | 16:00 |
| counterglitch | ActionPa1snip is there a way to disable compositing for just a single process (like the steam window) or does compositing not work like that | 16:00 |
| ch4k3r | actionpa1snip, like this? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5977796/ | 16:00 |
| someGuest | Sorry, accidentally pressed Enter. Anyhow, I'm confused as there are 12.04.2 x64 versions of Ubuntu that ship with the new kernel. So, what does all this mean? | 16:00 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: you don't need the 'chown -R root:root' bit | 16:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: otherwise, yes | 16:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: be sure the script is executable | 16:02 |
| ch4k3r | alright, thank you | 16:02 |
| ch4k3r | another question | 16:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: you do realise the file extension is meaningless in linux | 16:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | counterglitch: its all windows as far as I am aware | 16:03 |

| ch4k3r | and /opt/ | 16:03 |
| ActionPa1snip | counterglitch: you could report a bug | 16:03 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: keep a backup | 16:03 |
| caodepala | hi everyone | 16:03 |

| wilee-nilee | someGuest, Is this in relation to any ubuntu install if so what release? | 16:03 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: be sure to run: chmod +x /home/chaker/Desktop/defense.sh | 16:03 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: how do you mean 'system files'? | 16:03 |
| ch4k3r | i'll have to add that to rc.local, actionpa1snip? | 16:04 |
| ch4k3r | I mean | 16:04 |
| counterglitch | ok thanks will do! | 16:04 |
| ch4k3r | do you have any knowledge about ecryptfs, actionpa1snip? | 16:04 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: you only need to run the chmod once to make it executable | 16:04 |
| ch4k3r | if my ecryptfs gets screwed up, or I can't boot, or my kernel is broken and have no internet connection, how can I fix it? | 16:04 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: none, I think average users using encryptfs is a bad idea | 16:04 |
| ch4k3r | why? | 16:04 |

| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: once it is decrypted, I'd imagine so. | 16:06 |
| ActionPa1snip | jpds: then make a new copy as the standing data is still available :) | 16:06 |

| felipe__ | hi everyone | 16:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: speed will depend on drive speed, different software wont ake a drastic amount of differenyce | 16:10 |
| blazemore | Marlenee: Even after rebooting? | 16:11 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: if you get all the data copied, you can use rsync and it will only copy over new and changed files. Makes it faster | 16:11 |

| === sivik_ is now known as Sivik | ||
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: use grsync, its a pretty GUI to rsync | 16:12 |
| blazemore | felipe__: The short answer is, you can't install Microsoft Office on Ubuntu, in a similar way that you can't play a Playstation game on an XBox. Use the included LibreOffice Impress to open your presentation | 16:12 |
| Marlenee | blazemore : its ssh server i cant reboot | 16:12 |

| blazemore | ch4k3r: Neither of those will delete that | 16:14 |
| dagerik | this seems to have caused the sudden reboot. whats going on here? http://www.bpaste.net/show/GoSF4iE3BmbpBBuMz3YF/ | 16:14 |
| blazemore | Marlenee: Can you run "reboot" ? | 16:14 |
| Sivik | felipe__: you cannot install microsoft office 2010 on ubuntu | 16:14 |
| Sivik | felipe__: use libreoffice presentation | 16:15 |
| blazemore | felipe__: It's POSSIBLE but very difficult, and you don't need to. Why do you think you need to? | 16:15 |
| ch4k3r | how can I check startup-programs with my terminal? (like see which programs/scripts run at startup and how to disable/enable them) | 16:16 |
| blazemore | ch4k3r: Do you mean ones that start when you log in, or ones that are run before you log in, as the computer starts up? | 16:16 |
| ch4k3r | blazemore: both. | 16:16 |
| blazemore | The latter is /etc/rc.local | 16:17 |
| blazemore | ActionPa1snip knows the former, because he told someone a little while ago | 16:17 |
| ch4k3r | what is it, actionpa1snip? | 16:17 |
| ActionPa1snip | ch4k3r: grep Exec= ~/.config/autostart/* | 16:18 |
| felipe__ | blazemore: because i am new in ubuntu, i need detach of windows little by little | 16:18 |
| blazemore | felipe__: Try using Libreoffice to open your presentation | 16:18 |
| blazemore | felipe__: Libreoffce Impress is very similar to powerpoint, you won't feel lost | 16:18 |

| R-800 | Hello, everyone. I'm trying to download VLC media player for Ubuntu from a Windows machine so that it can be installed remotely. (the Ubuntu machine has no internet connection). At first it was surprisingly hard just to find a non-windows version for download. Finally found one, but it has a link I must use to start the download that won't work from Firefox in Windows. How can I get this... | 16:47 |
| R-800 | ...download going? | 16:47 |
| reisio | R-800: packages.ubuntu.com | 16:48 |
| reisio | now, were you the guy who wouldn't say why he can't use a network? | 16:48 |
| Slart | R-800: there used to be a "create a wget script to download stuff from an offline computer and then run it on any windows computer"-application somewhere.. not sure if it's still around though | 16:49 |
| * Confused_guy would like to interject for a moment and contemplate about something rather bizarre. | 16:49 | |
| * Confused_guy noticed that MOST of the laptops in his local computer store had SSD drives. | 16:50 | |
| * Confused_guy just found out that the TRIM function is NOT enabled by default in Ubuntu 13.04. | 16:50 | |
| * Confused_guy is confused. | 16:50 | |
| * ikonia asks Confused_guy to stop doing /me commands | 16:50 | |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: if you want help, just ask a question | 16:50 |
| Confused_guy | ikonia: sorry about that. :) | 16:50 |
| * x_ wonders why they speak about themselves in the third person | 16:50 | |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: not a problem | 16:50 |
| Confused_guy | But I'm still rather confused about that.... | 16:51 |
| daftykins | TRIM is part of the ATA spec, if it has been implemented in the Linux kernel it'll be there | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: just ask a clear question, and people will try to help/explain | 16:51 |
| daftykins | if manual setup is required, google it. i doubt it'll be hard | 16:51 |
| x_ | what is TRIM function? | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: it can get a bit lost with /me commands | 16:51 |
| ActionPa1snip | x_: its for SSDs | 16:51 |
| daftykins | x_: SSD maintenance | 16:51 |
| R-800 | Slart: Do you think something like Keryx might help with this? | 16:51 |
| Confused_guy | I was just wondering why the TRIM command isn't enabled by default. :\ | 16:51 |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: what makes you think it's not enabled ? | 16:52 |
| x_ | maybe it's not enabled because most don't use ssd's? | 16:52 |
| Confused_guy | ikonia: because I found tutorials for 13.04 telling people how to enable it. | 16:52 |
| x_ | though i guess it wouldn't do anything to regular hdd's | 16:52 |
| Confused_guy | ikonia: How can I check whether or not it is enabled? | 16:53 |
| Slart | R-800: no idea, never used (or even heard of keryx) but it sounds like a nice idea | 16:53 |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: you have to tell machine you're using an SSD, it's not disabled | 16:53 |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: you change the mount options in /etc/fstab to confirm the correct settings, then it's done | 16:53 |
| joe1 | Hey quick question what should i google for i have an issue with a grey chunk on the left of my screen then the right side is the desktop | 16:53 |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: (basically anyway) | 16:53 |
| Slart | R-800: the package-download script thing I was talking about was a part of synaptic.. the old default package manager before software center | 16:53 |
| Confused_guy | ikonia: This guide right here tells me that using /etc/fstab for TRIM may not be a good idea: https://sites.google.com/site/easylinuxtipsproject/ssd#TOC-Automatic-TRIM:-by-rc.local-by-cron-or-by-discard | 16:54 |
| R-800 | Slart: Right. Okay. | 16:54 |
| Confused_guy | But I don't know if it is outdated or not. | 16:54 |
| joe1 | i know a little so im also willing to help with any issues others have | 16:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: sounds like Unity panel isnt loading right. Press ALT+F2 and run: unity --replace | 16:54 |
| ActionPa1snip | Confused_guy: https://sites.google.com/site/lightrush/random-1/checkiftrimonext4isenabledandworking | 16:54 |
| joe1 | im runing lxde | 16:55 |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: it doesn't advise you not to do that | 16:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | Confused_guy: http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/enable-trim-on-ssd-solid-state-drives.html | 16:55 |
| ikonia | Confused_guy: it makes you aware of what happens when you put discard options in /etc/fstab | 16:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: ok, do you use xcompmgr ? | 16:55 |
| joe1 | let me check | 16:55 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: you will know if you are, ts a conscious thing to install and use | 16:56 |
| R-800 | reisio: I followed a download link for VLC on packages.ubuntu.com that downloaded a 43k file, seemingly too small to be anything but a startup file for some kind of download manager, which isn't what I need. Did I click the wrong thing? | 16:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: so to 'check' you have to remember if you installed it | 16:56 |
| Confused_guy | Thanks for the help guys. | 16:56 |
| joe1 | ok so im not i checked in terminal and it said its not intalled | 16:56 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: what, exactly, were you going to 'check' with/at/on/in? | 16:56 |
| Slart | R-800: synaptic is still available from the regular ubuntu repos, it's just not installed by default.. if you install it there is an option in the File menu to "generate package download script", put the resulting file on a usb-stick together with the wget application and it will download the packages you need to the usb stick (or that's the theory at least) | 16:56 |
| joe1 | i just typed the name of the program to see if it was installed | 16:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: is this an upgrade from a previous release or is it a clean install? | 16:57 |
| reisio | R-800: well, it doesn't handle deps for you | 16:57 |
| joe1 | clean install 12.10 | 16:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: is it fully updated? | 16:57 |
| joe1 | no | 16:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: what video chip do you use? | 16:57 |
| joe1 | im working on that now | 16:57 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: get fully updated and then worry | 16:58 |
| ActionPa1snip | joe1: updates may fix it | 16:58 |
| R-800 | Slart: Interesting. I see. I used to use Synaptic a long time ago, and wouldn't mind seeing it again. But my headache is installing programs at all, as they must be acquired initially on a Windows machine and then transferred to a Ubuntu one. I'm having a lot of trouble. | 16:58 |
| joe1 | got it ill stick around will stick around untill update are done incase i can help anybodey | 16:58 |
| Slart | R-800: that's what the script is for.. you run the download script on another machine and it downloads the packages it needs to the usb stick.. you then use that on the offline ubuntu machine.. it's like a network proxy.. albeit a slow and possible sweat-inducing one =) | 16:59 |
| R-800 | reisio: Okay. | 16:59 |
| reisio | you could always boot a live copy of Ubuntu on the networked machine and fetch from there | 17:00 |
| reisio | or... just network the box you're installing to already | 17:00 |
| R-800 | Slart: I understand that, and I think that is absolutely awesome. But as you pointed out, Synaptic doesn't come with Ubuntu by default anymore, and it's Synaptic that generates the script that makes this transfer to the USB stick possible. That means I have to get Synaptic onto the Ubuntu machine somehow, as the first step, without benefit of the script generating trick. | 17:01 |
| matthias_ | hello, i've got a problem with my ubuntu ltsp server | 17:01 |
| Slart | R-800: packages.ubuntu.com should take care of that.. I don't think synaptic has a lot, if any, dependencies.. but you will be doing a lot of walking back and forth between the two computers with any solution | 17:01 |
| joe1 | R-800 you should be able to sudo apt-get install synaptic | 17:02 |
| Slart | R-800: You might want to check if it's possible to download the most common packages onto a usb-stick or dvd.. like the old big install dvd's and use that as a package source | 17:02 |
| R-800 | Slart: Understood, and granted. And yes, the fewer dependencies, the less of a headache it will be. And thankfully, there won't be that much walking, as one of them is a laptop. : ) | 17:02 |
| TJ- | R-800: There's a little 'trick' to help you. Install the same Ubuntu into a virtual machine on the Windows host, then once it's fetched the files you need, copy them to your USB storage from "/var/cache/apt/archives/" and put them in that same location on the target Ubuntu. | 17:02 |
| ActionPa1snip | TJ-: done that before, or use liveCD, mount the internal partition and copy the deb files over :) | 17:03 |
| R-800 | TJ: Interesting. | 17:03 |
| ActionPa1snip | R-800: ^ | 17:03 |
| TJ- | ActionPa1snip: Yeah, it can be useful even on another Linux host with chroot, if you have one without connectivity | 17:03 |
| matthias_ | my fat-clients shows only the busybox up. i configured a proxy-dhcp with dnsmasq and it worked with thin clients very well but not with fat clients. it show the error socket failed connection refused when i hit f6 while the ubunt logo is loading | 17:04 |
| TJ- | ActionPa1snip: R-800: Also, in the past, I've taken the hard drive out of the target, plugged it into a networked host, configured a virtual machine on the host to use that hard drive, and then just done a regular update since the VM has network | 17:05 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: do you see them requesting things in the logs | 17:05 |
| matthias_ | ActionPa1snip: which logs? | 17:05 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: for the services, on the server side | 17:06 |
| Slart | R-800: this looks like another way of doing things.. http://www.howtoforge.com/dvd_images_of_ubuntu_repositories | 17:06 |
| Slart | R-800: it seems simpler to do it with a usb-stick though.. dvd's are so last decade =) | 17:06 |
| TheCompWiz | Pici: I'm still a bit lost... I understand what you're saying but the question is this: what hd-media do I need to use for the *currently-default* ubuntu precise iso? | 17:06 |
| matthias_ | ActionPa1snip: sorry i don't know wich log files do you mean? | 17:07 |
| matthias_ | ActionPa1snip: it shows on the client the busybox after the ubunut logo | 17:07 |
| jonascj | Hi. libvirt-bin is crashing for me when starting. It exits with status 6 (seen in the syslog) ~10 times and then finally stops respawning because it's respawning too fast. Any suggestions as to where I might start my investigation? | 17:07 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: its a dns server right? with dnsmasq? | 17:08 |
| matthias_ | ActionPa1snip: yes right. | 17:08 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: do you see any activity in the dnsmasq log mentioning the system having an issue? | 17:08 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: is the hostname in the DHCP lease pool on the sever | 17:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: do you see a request etc in the logs for the DHCP service | 17:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: this is basic trouble shooting stuff.....checking logs] | 17:09 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: are the services being hit by the client? | 17:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: if not then check the client | 17:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: if they are, what responce do they get? What does it mean? Does the client get the responce? | 17:10 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: is there logging on the clients? | 17:10 |
| matthias_ | ActionPa1snip: no the clients cant log because they don't start up, they only show the busybox | 17:11 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: then basic stuff like pinging IPs and making sure interfaces have drivers and IPs and default gateways and so forth | 17:11 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: then its nothing to do with the server side yet, you need to get the clients up and running] | 17:12 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: but its that sort of stuff you need to be looking at, just on the clients, all logs and such | 17:12 |
| matthias_ | ActionPa1snip: there all drivers every interface is working, because it worked without the dnsmasq and as thin client config, but not in the fat client modus | 17:13 |
| matthias_ | ActionPa1snip: how should i look on the clients when they only show the busybox. im scanning right now the servers log | 17:13 |
| ActionPa1snip | matthias_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/FatClients | 17:13 |

| nicksloan | the init scripts are not very good, and a bare-bones upstart script is working a lot better. would rather just use that. | 17:35 |
| reisio | hi val___ | 17:35 |
| bazhang | drmeister, you need to install build-essential | 17:35 |
| nicksloan | usr13: ubuntu server | 17:35 |
| val___ | I want to build a terminal-based(ncurses) desktop app that talks to a server | 17:35 |
| TJ- | R-800: Provided you have Python on the Windows PC, apt-offline will work | 17:36 |
| drmeister | bazhang: Is "install build-essential" a command line command? | 17:36 |
| bazhang | drmeister, sudo apt-get install packagename is the syntax | 17:36 |
| nicksloan | usr13: the trick is, I'm provisioning with puppet. I can install my upstart script, and tell it to use upstart instead of init, but not when it is already started. | 17:36 |
| lotuspsychje | JuJuBee: maybe you can test your hd with the package 'testdisk' | 17:36 |
| Cyrac | How do I check with virtualbox v4.2.16 what ubuntu I can use. everytime i try download the latest version version 12 or 13,i have problems | 17:36 |

| ubottu | drmeister: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 17:37 |
| R-800 | TJ-: I was just wondering about that. According to this article, apt-offline will indeed work when the networked machine runs Windows, which is exactly the situation that applies for me. | 17:37 |
| drmeister | ubottu - you rascal. | 17:37 |
| nicksloan | really think there ought to be a way to choose in advance | 17:37 |
| TJ- | R-800: I think you have your solution! | 17:37 |
| R-800 | TJ-: Thank you. But what should I download to enure this will work for the Windows machine? | 17:37 |
| * pinky is away: Away | 17:37 | |
| drmeister | bazhang: Putting it all together its: "sudo apt-get install build-essential"? | 17:38 |
| TJ- | R-800: I assume, a Windows build of python, and the apt-offline python script | 17:38 |
| usr13 | nicksloan: service <name> stop | 17:38 |
| ActionPa1snip | R-800: just use dpkg to install all the debs | 17:38 |
| bazhang | drmeister, yes | 17:38 |
| lotuspsychje | JuJuBee: if testdisk or gparted can't see your hd, might be dead indeed | 17:38 |
| drmeister | bazhang: Got it - thank you very much! | 17:38 |
| R-800 | ActionPa1snip: Are you sure? That sounds like something that wouldn't work in Windows. | 17:39 |
| TJ- | R-800: see the man page: http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/lucid/man8/apt-offline.8.html | 17:39 |

| val___ | I would like to build a client(ncurses)/server application in C, could anyone point me in the right direction? I am coming from the web world where I built http web services and the browser(client) consumed it | 17:39 |

| val___ | I've been looking into tcp sockets | 17:40 |
| usr13 | nicksloan: In other words, just stop the service, do what you need to do and then re-start it. | 17:40 |
| drmeister | I'm installing Ubuntu on Virtualbox 4.2.16 on a Mac OS X 10.8.1 - Ubuntu didn't give me the option of installing 32-bit or 64-bit. Where does that get defined? | 17:40 |
| lotuspsychje | val___: maybe try the ##programming channel? | 17:41 |
| R-800 | TJ-: Thanks so much. I know I need to do a lot of self-education here, and with the links you've provided, I think that's finally going to be possible. | 17:41 |
| usr13 | nicksloan: And so now that you know that a service is automatically started when you install it, you can act accordingly. | 17:41 |
| DJones | drmeister: That depends on whether you downloaded the 32 or 64 bit iso | 17:41 |
| val___ | lotuspsychje: thanks! | 17:41 |
| drmeister | DJones - Ah! | 17:41 |
| Slart | val___: there has to be a channel for c programming.. perhaps they will know of a good framework for you.. try ##cplusplus or ##c | 17:41 |

| usr13 | gribouille: dynamically | 17:45 |
| DJones | drmeister: From memory, the 32 bit version will have i386 in the iso's name, 64 bit has amd64 in filename | 17:45 |
| gribouille | usr13, I have a quantal that is not running, and /dev is not empty | 17:46 |

| gribouille | usr13, yes | 17:49 |
| nicksloan | usr13: yeah. That occurred to me, but it's easier said than done. Puppet can't have two service objects of the same name. which means I can't let puppet's magic do the stopping of the init version of the service, and the starting of the upstart version, which means making manual Exec calls, which puppet discourages. Not starting on installation at all would be much cleaner, I was just hoping that it was possible. | 17:49 |
| TJ- | R-800: Correct :) I'd always go for something that is maintained as part of the Debian/Ubuntu core packages | 17:49 |

| snollux | Ello ello. So I'm trying to turn this kind of weird package I made (basically a lone C file, plus a few python scripts and a bash "INSTALL" script to move things and set permissions) into a legit ubuntu package. How can I do that? | 18:22 |
| snollux | Here's the current "INSTALL" script http://pastebin.com/QeP7Fc8P | 18:22 |
| pain | is anyone keen to help me? | 18:22 |
| MrLahey | daftykins yes I see my folders and stuff in there | 18:22 |
| pain | atheros wireless, after the update to 13.04 2 meters range where i can use it | 18:23 |
| daftykins | MrLahey: ok i was expecting some kind of profile corruption - i'm out of ideas i'm afraid :( | 18:23 |
| eka | hi all. When I try to upload a picture to say Facebook, I can't see the network drives in the file chooser dialog. I have all my pic in a NAS that I can access it through network file share in nautilus… but can't when uploading… what can I do? | 18:24 |
| MonkeyDust | snollux better ask in #ubuntu-app-devel | 18:24 |
| snollux | Thanks! | 18:24 |
| reisio | eka: last I checked, admittedly some time ago, Facebook used Java™ by default for such nonsense | 18:24 |
| eka | reisio: I can't anywhere | 18:25 |
| pain | eka: i am saving the pic on my desktop and when uploading it, just changing the folder | 18:25 |
| reisio | can't what? | 18:25 |
| blazemore | reisio: I've never heard that, and it is the sort of thing I'd have heard | 18:25 |
| eka | reisio: access my shared net folder from an upload file chooser being FB or other service | 18:25 |
| eka | pain: it's a PITA | 18:26 |

| daum_ | when i start unity it keeps saying opengl failed to load,it looks like my opengl is working fine - glxgears shows 60fps | 18:28 |
| eka | http://askubuntu.com/questions/34737/uploading-or-attaching-files-that-located-on-a-shared-drive-doesnt-work | 18:28 |
| eka | it really sucks | 18:28 |
| pain | eka: i still have an issue with the ubuntu, when saving somewhere, i have to open the folder manualy, because when it comes to a salf kind of refreshing folder loke desktop it is not there.. so open manually the folder, maybe it helps | 18:29 |
| jezi22 | guys any good pdf reader which saves the last page i read on? i tried evince but i cannot find the options. i tried googling but no luck. | 18:29 |
| eka | pain: it doesn't … it's a shared folder… I don't know why… win does it, mac does it… | 18:29 |
| MrLahey | daftykins thanks for your help | 18:30 |
| drmeister | I'm installing Ubuntu on Virtualbox 4.2.16 on a Mac OS X 10.8.1 - It got hung up "Retrieving file 55 of 100(and something)" Under Activity Monitor "Real Mem = 5.55 GB" and it was only using 20% CPU and sat like that for an hour. I hit the SKIP button a few times and now it's continuing. Will I need to start over again? | 18:30 |
| eka | jezi22: last time I read in Linux I used to put bookmarks… don't remember which reader though | 18:30 |
| usr13 | eka: If it's nfs share, I'm sure it would work, but beyond that, I don't know. | 18:30 |
| eka | usr13: it's a samba share | 18:31 |
| daftykins | drmeister: no, it'll just be trying to pull down updates during install, no reason to do that during install at all | 18:31 |
| pain | eka: samba shoulld work, try to refresh | 18:31 |
| usr13 | eka: Well, it would depend on how it's mounted. Should work. I don't know. | 18:31 |
| eka | pain: tried many times… | 18:31 |
| drmeister | daftykins: Thanks - it just said Installation complete and it's rebooting. | 18:31 |
| jezi22 | eka: the default in ubuntu works. just saves it automatically when the pdf is closed. but i reformatted to ubuntu server and installed my own desktop environment. now it doesn't do the same behavior | 18:31 |
| eka | it just doesn't show on the list of drives… nor show any net browser… | 18:32 |
| eka | pain: usr13: I even added a shortcut on nautilus… but it doesn't show in the upload dialog | 18:32 |

| matthias_ | is here sb well known about ltsp? | 18:33 |
| lvleph | When trying to read a folder on an ext3 files system I get an Input/Output error | 18:33 |
| matthias_ | because i've got a question | 18:33 |
| lvleph | How can I delete this folder? | 18:33 |
| usr13 | eka: If it's mounted perminately (so-to-speak), it probably works. In other words, with a fstab entry, example: | 18:33 |
| usr13 | eka: //192.168.1.5/my/folder /home/mounts/localmount cifs rw | 18:33 |
| eka | usr13: yes, but I don't want permanent mount :P | 18:34 |
| pain | eka: i am not that aadvanced, but it looks like kind of sudo right to me, can't help you more, sorry | 18:34 |
| eka | pain: it's not that | 18:34 |
| matthias_ | if i boot up my fat client there stands eth0 configured: 192.168.178.227:192.168.178.1:192.168.178.1:255.255.255.0 but above it says ip=192.168.178.227:192.168.178.4:192.168.178.1:255.255.255.0 ##.277 is my client .4 is my server .1 is my router and my server acts as dnsmasq but why is in the second line .1 but not .4? | 18:34 |
| MrLahey | daftykins another problem I am having my be a clue. for example certain programs no longer work. as an example when I try to run pcmanfm at the terminal it says "error while loading shared libraries: libmenu-cache.so.2" | 18:34 |

| shadej | I want to use my ubuntu as a router | 18:35 |
| shadej | how will be its performance? | 18:35 |
| usr13 | eka: YOu could always just copy the file(s) over to Ubuntu's filesystem. Right? | 18:35 |
| reisio | shadej: fine | 18:35 |
| eka | usr13: yes but that is a PITA… I don't understand why in hell it doesn't show network shared folders | 18:36 |
| shadej | reisio: in comparison with a router? | 18:36 |
| eka | it happens on FB on imgur, gmail… | 18:36 |
| usr13 | eka: I'm not sure either. | 18:36 |
| reisio | shadej: lot of routers run Linux systems already | 18:36 |
| daftykins | matthias_: 'connection refused' sounds more like permissions / wrong host | 18:36 |
| eka | usr13: it must by a tailored down nautilus or something | 18:36 |
| usr13 | eka: And I'm not that knowledgable about facebook either, (my idea of social-networking is email :). | 18:37 |
| shadej | reisio: oh yeah but i am trying to use my pc as a router | 18:37 |
| Cyrac | Can anyone help me get the latest version of ubuntu please? where u ahve trashbin and stuff on the left side | 18:37 |
| eka | usr13: I can't on gmail… FB was an example | 18:37 |
| eka | usr13: see here http://serverfault.com/questions/431182/file-upload-page-coming-up-it-is-not-showing-the-mounted-folders | 18:37 |
| eka | usr13: everybody is having the same issue | 18:37 |
| usr13 | eka: I also don't use nautilus, (I use thunar). | 18:37 |
| reisio | shadej: I know, you said | 18:37 |
| drmeister | I have a brand-new shiny Ubuntu installation. I'm trying to get a development environment installed. "sudo apt-get install build-essential" returns with "unable to locate package build-essential". "sudo apt-get update" --> Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists | 18:38 |
| usr13 | eka: (I'm an xfce user.) | 18:38 |
| eka | usr13: nautilus is the default in ubuntu afaik | 18:38 |
| reisio | drmeister: you got any other package manager / frontends open? | 18:38 |
| eka | usr13: in the default ubuntu install ;) | 18:38 |
| shadej | reisio: so if that is the case why do people purchase routers why dont they use normal PCs to do so | 18:38 |
| usr13 | drmeister: sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade | 18:38 |
| drmeister | reisio: I'm new to Ubuntu (but lots of decade old experience with Linux/slackware/redhat/fedora) | 18:38 |
| usr13 | eka: Yes, you are correct. | 18:38 |
| reisio | shadej: routers are preconfigured for a specific task | 18:39 |
| Cyrac | I have problems everytime.. :( | 18:39 |
| shadej | reisio: is that what makes them expensive | 18:39 |
| reisio | shadej: routers aren't expensive | 18:39 |
| shadej | reisio: are you sure | 18:39 |
| pain | ppl, still here, anyone, atheros, bad wireless, ux31e asus, 1 meter works, disabled the power savings-no result..any help? searched everything, well, the thing is that on 12 had the same issue but in a week through the update it was good, now it sucks but i need it for my job.. | 18:39 |
| reisio | yup | 18:39 |
| drmeister | usr13: All it gives me is "Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists" | 18:39 |
| matthias_ | daftykins: as already metion there is something worng with the ip first and then eth0 because there is 192.168.178.1 instead of .4 you see what i mean? | 18:40 |
| usr13 | drmeister: Close other package managers first. | 18:40 |
| shadej | reisio: can u tell me their average cost | 18:40 |
| Cyrac | Who can help me with ubuntu? I am trying to install the latest version of ubuntu.. but everytime i try,i can't get it to work | 18:40 |
| reisio | shadej: I'm not sure the average cost of all routers would be a useful figure | 18:40 |
| reisio | shadej: you can get one for $20 at local stores in the USA | 18:40 |
| drmeister | usr13 - I don't think I have any package managers open. It just booted into Ubuntu (fresh install) - does one come up automatically? | 18:40 |
| shadej | reisio: wow i had very bad image then | 18:41 |
| usr13 | drmeister: (There are a cople of front-end applications for apt and one of them is apparently running or opened.) | 18:41 |
| usr13 | drmeister: sudo apt-get update #What does it say exactly? | 18:41 |
| DreamPCs | Hey guys, any other apps besides Minitube to play youtube videos? | 18:41 |

| ubottu | Cyrac: 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 | 18:42 |
| usr13 | Cyrac: What seems to be the problem? | 18:43 |
| shadej | reisio: so you are telling me that i can replace my router with a pc | 18:43 |
| === dgtl is now known as d1gtl | ||
| reisio | shadej: yup, routers are computers too, just simpler ones | 18:43 |
| Cyrac | i either get a block screen that stops,strange colours or it won't start at all.. hard to say when i ahve tried like 4 times or more | 18:44 |
| Cyrac | *black | 18:44 |
| drmeister | usr13: Thanks, is it ok if I post a small piece of screen-shot? Copy and past from VirtualBox to OS X is not working yet. | 18:44 |
| usr13 | !nomodeset | Cyrac | 18:44 |
| ubottu | Cyrac: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter | 18:44 |
| pain | brennan: paid it, i have the router 2 meters away now an the signla is at the minimum | 18:44 |

| Cyrac | So how do i fix it, usr13? | 18:45 |
| pain | _ | 18:45 |
| matthias_ | daftykins: ok on this image http://i.imgur.com/YhlWiAr.jpg under "my ip address seems to bee..." you can see 192.168.178.227... and on the bottom you can see "eth0 configured...." i think there is ab problem at eth0 configured.. because there is not 192.168.178.4 metioned which is my server and thats because there is the socket error? clear sry im from germany :) | 18:45 |
| pain | ? | 18:45 |
| Cyrac | I wnat to have that version of ubuntu that have trasbin and stuff on the left side | 18:45 |

| usr13 | Cyrac: "See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter" | 18:46 |
| eka | pain: you could change your nick to something like _pain_ | 18:46 |
| shadej | reisio: is configuring /etc/sysctl.conf enough to turn pc to router | 18:46 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Cyrac: that will be Ubuntu then as it uses Unity shell by default | 18:46 |
| pain | eka: trying, but if i am right the irq from the 90 wouldn't let anyone on the same server with the same nick :) | 18:47 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Cyrac: if you are using virtualbox still then I suggest you use the 2D session. | 18:47 |
| reisio | shadej: I doubt it | 18:47 |
| shadej | reisio: hm | 18:47 |

| === g_byers is now known as gbyers[Away] | ||

| drmeister | usr13: I was messing around trying to figure out copy/past from VirtualBox to OS X - here's the result: http://imagebin.org/267303 | 18:50 |
| usr13 | Cyrac: Is this what you are talking about?: http://img827.imageshack.us/img827/3509/dgfdgrunningoraclevmvir.png | 18:50 |
| pain | changed it everywhere in the settings... does not work.. lol | 18:50 |
| matthias_ | daftykins: my router gives it the .227 but above it becomes the right one you know where to change this, so that in the second paragraph the adress is the same like in the first paragraph? | 18:50 |
| Cyrac | usr: well.. how does the desktop of ubuntu look like using that ubuntu version? | 18:50 |
| Left_Turn | hey guys i installed python3 but when u type python3 my OS can't find it.. how can i search for it | 18:51 |
| reisio | Left_Turn: how'd you install it? | 18:51 |
| Left_Turn | i can't remember... i used make make install i think | 18:51 |
| Left_Turn | @resio | 18:51 |

| Left_Turn | hi icelite.. do we know each other? | 18:52 |
| Left_Turn | sorry i have bad memory | 18:52 |
| icelite | ahh the Swindon girl | 18:52 |
| painless | eka: did it :D | 18:52 |
| icelite | remember ? | 18:52 |
| reisio | Left_Turn: probably should've used apt-get install python3 | 18:52 |
| usr13 | drmeister: ls /var/lib/apt/lists/lock #What does that say? | 18:52 |
| daftykins | matthias_: if you're trying to PXE boot then you can't use your domestic router for the DHCP server unless you've modified its' scope for the whole thing | 18:52 |
| Left_Turn | huh? | 18:52 |
| Left_Turn | oh | 18:52 |
| icelite | Swindon? | 18:52 |
| icelite | :D | 18:52 |
| TJ- | matthias_: Have you ensured the nbd kernel module is installed from the initrd? | 18:52 |
| Left_Turn | is there a way to search for python3 that i do have reisio ? | 18:52 |
| drmeister | usr13: It just returns /var/lib/apt/lists/lock | 18:52 |
| Left_Turn | icelite? | 18:52 |
| icelite | yes | 18:53 |
| Cyrac | usr13: would u b so kindly show me how the desktop look like on ubuntu using that version of ubuntu u showed me? | 18:53 |
| Left_Turn | i don't recall speaking to any girls on irc | 18:53 |
| reisio | Left_Turn: apt-cache search python3 | 18:53 |
| drmeister | cat /var/lib/apt/lists/lock -> Permission denied | 18:53 |
| Left_Turn | ok thanks reisio | 18:53 |
| drmeister | usr13: sudo cat /var/lib/apt/lists/lock -> nothing | 18:53 |
| usr13 | drmeister: ls -l /var/lib/apt/lists/lock #What does that say? | 18:53 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Left_turn: I can name a few | 18:53 |
| matthias_ | yes TJ- daftykins im using dnsmasq because i can't modify settings on my router | 18:53 |
| Left_Turn | i see ActionParsnip2 :) | 18:54 |
| TJ- | matthias_: "Socket failed" usually occurs because the nbd kernel module (which creates the socket) isn't loaded | 18:54 |
| Left_Turn | reisio: it's definately installed.. but the results son't show a path | 18:54 |
| drmeister | usr13: -rw-r----- 1 root root 0 Feb 13 17:13 /var/lib/apt/lists/lock (I typed that in, it should be accurate) | 18:55 |
| drmeister | usr13: Yup, it matches. | 18:55 |
| matthias_ | TJ-: and how can i load this module? | 18:55 |
| Cyrac | usr: i really need to see how the desktop look like from the version of that ubuntu u showed me,the photo.. been installing over and over and i forgot wich one it was | 18:56 |
| usr13 | drmeister: ps aux | grep apt | 18:56 |
| painless | so, ubuntu 13.04, atheros wireless works on 2 meters only and badly, ubuntu 12 was ok, any help? (latest kernel, and tried everything like turning down the power saving mode and stuff) | 18:56 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Matthias_: based on tj-s advice. You can run: echo nbd | sudo tee -a /etc/modules > /dev/null | 18:56 |
| Left_Turn | reisio: :( | 18:56 |
| usr13 | drmeister: ps aux | grep apt #Show me the pid number(s) | 18:57 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Painless: is the Raring install a fresh install or did you upgrade from Quantal? | 18:57 |
| drmeister | usr13: It's the same as before so I'll repost it: http://imagebin.org/267303 | 18:57 |
| drmeister | usr13: Except for the grep pid the pids are the same as in the http://imagebin.org/267303 paste. | 18:57 |
| painless | ActionParsnip2 - upgrade | 18:57 |
| Cyrac | usr: sorry if I nag,but idk how the desktop look like on the version of ubuntu on the photo u showed me.. sorry | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Painless : from Quantal? | 18:58 |
| painless | yep | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Drmeister: is software centre open? | 18:58 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Painless : ok. Are there any bugs reported? | 18:59 |
| painless | ActionParsnip2 did something i did now on the 12th but now it seems not to work | 18:59 |
| painless | ActionParsnip2 lot of bugs, but none regarding the wireless | 18:59 |
| drmeister | ActionParsnip2: How do I tell? I'm new to Ubuntu - some sort of language support installer was open but hung up - I just shut it down. | 19:00 |
| painless | ActionParsnip2 like python crush, chromium mostly | 19:00 |
| ActionParsnip2 | !aptfix | Drmeister | 19:00 |
| ubottu | Drmeister: If an APT front-end crashed and your database is locked, try this in a !terminal: « sudo fuser -vki /var/lib/dpkg/lock;sudo dpkg --configure -a » | 19:00 |

| === Cyrac is now known as Cyrax | ||
| ActionParsnip2 | Cyrac : yes that is default. Its is unity shell | 19:01 |

| drmeister | ActionParsnip2: I tried the "sudo fuser..." and then sudo apt-get update --> Unable to lock directory /var/lib/apt/lists | 19:01 |
| drmeister | Should I reboot? | 19:02 |
| usr13 | drmeister: sudo kill 1716 ; sudo kill 1717;sudo kill 1718 | 19:02 |
| Cyrax | where do I get that version of ubuntu? | 19:02 |
| reisio | Left_Turn: that's what dpkg -L is for | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Drmeister : sounds like a plan | 19:02 |
| Left_Turn | what's dpkg -L reisio | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Drmeister : then rerun the command ubottu gave | 19:02 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Left_turn : read the man pages | 19:02 |
| Left_Turn | i really hate man | 19:03 |
| drmeister | I rebooted and then: sudo apt-get update -> now it is connecting to us.archive.ubuntu.com | 19:03 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Reisio : could use awk on the output and pipe to sudo kill :) | 19:03 |
| Left_Turn | it confuses me even more:( | 19:03 |
| Cyrax | it would b really helpful,if u could give me a download link to that version, ActionParsnip | 19:04 |
| Cyrax | For virtualbox that is | 19:04 |
| usr13 | drmeister: After that is done, do sudo apt-get upgrade | 19:04 |
| usr13 | drmeister: (Which is an essential part of the post-install process.) | 19:05 |

| ActionParsnip2 | Cyrax : look into the 3D abd 2D acceleration in virtualbox. Have you tried that? | 19:10 |
| Cyrax | nope.. idk how either.. sorry | 19:11 |
| ActionParsnip2 | Cyrax: yes you can upgrade to the next release or if you use Precise (and I suggest you do) | 19:11 |

The current LTS version of Ubuntu is !Precise (Precise Pangolin 12.04) | 20:28 |

| linuxliam | how stable is the 3.10 kernel and is there any major need to update to it from debs | 20:55 |
| holstein | !13.10 | linuxliam | 20:55 |
| ubottu | linuxliam: Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu. Announcement: http://www.markshuttleworth.com/archives/1252 - Discussion and support in #ubuntu+1 | 20:55 |
| ikonia | 3.10 kernel is not part of an ubuntu release yet | 20:55 |
| linuxliam | i know but its listed on kernel.org as stable | 20:56 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: why do you want it ? | 20:56 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: what's wrong the with kernel ubuntu provides ? | 20:56 |
| linuxliam | was wondering if i'd gain any performance even if its minor | 20:56 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: bigger release numbers do not mean better performance | 20:57 |
| linuxliam | i know | 20:57 |
| holstein | linuxliam: 13.10 is not released yet.. you are free and encouraged to manually update to whatever kernel you like.. that will not be officially supported here either | 20:57 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: is here anything in the release notes that says it will improve performance for your hardware ? | 20:57 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: if you "know" why are you wondering if it will give you better performance if there is nothing to suggest it will | 20:57 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: you're willing to break ubuntu support/compatability for a fantasy possibility of better performance? | 20:58 |
| linuxliam | that would be considered testing | 20:58 |
| linuxliam | ;) | 20:58 |
| FireBeard | Ubu now only has 9 months of support left per every non-LTS versions, great | 20:58 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: no, it's not testing, it's just random | 20:58 |
| FireBeard | nobody still installs it | 20:59 |
| MonkeyDust | linuxliam if you want to test it, you need not ask questions here | 20:59 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: what ? | 20:59 |
| TJ- | linuxliam: 3.10 fixes quite a few driver bugs, including very slow Intel 4965 802.11n WIFi, so it can improve things dramatically. It is also supported as an upgrade via the linux-current package series, for 12.04 and others | 20:59 |
| holstein | linuxliam: test what you like.. you are, as i said, free to and encouraged to. but its not supported here | 20:59 |
| ikonia | !info linux-current | 20:59 |
| ubottu | Package linux-current does not exist in raring | 20:59 |
| FireBeard | ikonia: read up | 20:59 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: read up what ? | 20:59 |
| FireBeard | 9 months per release | 20:59 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: we know.... | 20:59 |
| FireBeard | it's ridiculous | 20:59 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: then don't use it | 20:59 |
| FireBeard | I've been using it for many years | 21:00 |
| holstein | linuxliam: AFAIK there are "dailies" of 13.10 you could try live to see the kernel on your hardware | 21:00 |
| syntroPi | any known recent updates broke ssh port forwarding? i cant use it anymore... | 21:00 |
| FireBeard | this caught us all by surprise | 21:00 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: not really, it was announced a while ago, | 21:00 |
| TJ- | linuxliam: See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Release/Rolling | 21:00 |
| FireBeard | ikonia: a few months before at the most | 21:01 |
| holstein | FireBeard: you are free and ecouraged to support whatever release manually you want for as long as you like | 21:01 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: yes, | 21:01 |
| FireBeard | holstein: not trying ti make a scene | 21:01 |
| FireBeard | just an observation | 21:01 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: then stop talking about it | 21:01 |
| FireBeard | as a long time UBU user | 21:01 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: we know the support policy, you pointing it out again changes nothing | 21:02 |
| linuxliam | im not massivley tech savy just wanted to know what the 3.10 kernel improves overall in lamens terms | 21:02 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: bottom line - you don't need it | 21:02 |
| zykotick9 | ikonia: +1 | 21:02 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: trust the ubuntu developers to push out the best supported kernels they can to allow your machine to function and maintain supportability | 21:02 |
| FireBeard | ok | 21:02 |
| k1l_ | linuxliam: they say it with every new kernel version | 21:02 |
| TJ- | linuxliam: The main thing is adding support for newer harder to older releases, as well as some bug-fixes | 21:02 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: unless it fixes a specific problem to you, use the ubuntu packages | 21:03 |
| ikonia | linuxliam: more so if you're not tech savy as you said earlier | 21:03 |
| k1l_ | linuxliam: if you want stableness just wait untill the final ubuntu release is done. | 21:03 |
| FireBeard | we all know the policy, we all hate it [so it seems], but nobody does anything about it | 21:04 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: please don't put words in our mouths | 21:04 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: no-one said we hate it | 21:04 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: if you don't like it, don't use the distro | 21:04 |
| ikonia | FireBeard: you don't seem to grasp the "stop talking about it" concept | 21:04 |
| FireBeard | that's like saying: if you don't like the local water: stop drinking it, or stop flushing your toilet with it | 21:05 |

| syntroPi | can someone help me tunneling RDP port through ssh connection? It worked before, i did not change anything and now it stopped working for some reason i have to find out... i really need this working soon | 21:30 |
| nukleuz | Superb :) The thing is that I followed a guide on how to remove old kernels from AskUbuntu; I considered the guide as safe, since several users confirmed that it worked. But it resulted in a system without a kernel; and several packages god unintalled. This is a RAID setup where /boot is /dev/md0 (sba1, sdb1) anf /dev/md1 is (sdb3, sda3). When i lost all my files I had to restore my server from a sync (rsync) | 21:30 |
| nukleuz | backup that was made erlier that day; and now the server wont boot at all. I have updated grub, and tried out everything that I could find on Google/Ask Ubuntu etc. I have used chroot to access the servers filesystem :) | 21:30 |
| budmang | usr13: it just outputs the kernel I want and the one running | 21:31 |
| budmang | nukleuz: the os/data/boot is on the raid too? | 21:32 |
| budmang | does it boot into that mini shell/prompt? | 21:32 |
| Cyrax | failmaster: here is the photo of the log: http://puu.sh/40t6h.png | 21:32 |
| usr13 | budmang: Is the system running now? | 21:33 |
| budmang | usr13: yes. | 21:33 |
| budmang | I just did that LS command you gave me on it. | 21:33 |
| budmang | I even tried an apt HOLD on the kernel/version | 21:33 |
| usr13 | budmang: I suppose one easy way is to remove the one you are using now and do a reinstall of the other one. | 21:34 |
| budmang | can I remove the one that is active/inuse? | 21:34 |
| usr13 | (the one you want to use.) | 21:34 |
| usr13 | budmang: There may be a better way, (and I welcome additional input), so...... | 21:35 |
| nukleuz | budmang: that mini shell / promt? When i chroot? Yes. And commands works well, thats how updated grub and removed som kernels when the filesystem was restored again. | 21:35 |
| Cyrax | So what does it mean on that photo, failmaster? | 21:35 |
| failmaster | Cyrax, here you go, there is no module for your virtual video adapter for some reason, you may want to continue investigate it reading about how it should be shipped, maybe ther is even package in target system repos | 21:35 |
| budmang | right nukleuz I have a raid ubuntu box does the same, we have to type a few things to get it booted up(I have not found the full fix for it yet). | 21:35 |
| Cyrax | I have windows 8 64 bit and my computer is new,so its nothing wrong with my computer | 21:36 |
| budmang | usr13: no I just mean can you remove the current in use kernel :) | 21:36 |
| budmang | I did not know that Im trying now. | 21:36 |
| syntroPi | why does my ssh tunnel not work at all? http://paste.ubuntu.com/5978741/ | 21:36 |

| failmaster | Cyrax, try switching to console like ctrl+alt+f1 for example, check out if internet connection could be configured and if yes, it would be easier to try to reinstall that virtualbox thing... guest-additions if i remember well | 21:37 |

| usr13 | budmang: Yes, far as I know. You probably need to remove the linux-image-3.x.x as well is the linux-headers-3.x.x | 21:38 |
| usr13 | budmang: Again, if anyone else has an alternative idea they can let us know.... | 21:39 |
| budmang | Course. I just tried yours rebooting now :) | 21:39 |
| Cyrax | So how can i fix it? i really have no clue | 21:40 |
| usr13 | budmang: Are you sure you can't fix what is wrong with the newer one? | 21:40 |
| Cyrax | Adn what is the newest version of virtualbox for windows 8 64 bit? | 21:40 |
| failmaster | Cyrax, google for it, it's not that hard actually, i would start from here http://www.virtualbox.org/manual/ch04.html#idp11306688 | 21:40 |
| budmang | usr13: This is corporate BS. It must be downgraded to the current kernel of the other production machines. | 21:41 |
| syntroPi | budmang, i did this once like this "mount /dev/sda1 /mnt ; sudo mount -o bind /dev /mnt/dev ; sudo mount -o bind /sys /mnt/sys ; sudo mount -t proc /proc /mnt/proc ; sudo chroot /mnt /bin/bash ; grub-install --force /dev/sda ; exit ; reboot" | 21:41 |

| VSpike | Hi. I have 12.04, with precise backports enabled. Why do I have znc 0.206 instead of 1.0-2~ubuntu12.04.1 which https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/znc suggests? | 21:41 |

| failmaster | TJ-, sorry for being a bit annoying, but the thing is... i assume that scenario which feeds the key is already shipped with cryptsetup, because in my case sdb1 unlocks flawlessly during boot for example without keyscript option, so the main issue as i see it - using 3rd party keyscript for this basic operation while having this option out-of-the-box already, so maybe you know by accident what makes it possible by default? =) | 21:52 |

| failmaster | TJ-, however appears that cryptroot is the hook responsible for it, which throws a warning on initramfs-update while running it's checks against rootfs entry in crypttab that doesn't meet the condition if [ "$key" != "none" ] && [ -z "$KEYSCRIPT" ]; so it's none "none" due to the fact there is a key file mentioned, which somehow leads to unbootable system lol Many thanks TJ- i had to re-check it unfortunately...

| apb1963 | So I just installed a brand new router. I've got a windoze machine and a ubuntu box. Windoze is fine, it's where I'm typing from now. Ubuntu has no ethernet address whatsoever. However, the router knows ubuntu's hostname so apparently it sees it. I've tried service networking restart which gives an odd error, I've also tried rebooting. | 22:06 |
| TJ- | failmaster: From the docs, you do still need to provide the keyfile= part in crypttab | 22:06 |
| apb1963 | Not sure where to go from here. | 22:06 |
| failmaster | TJ-, so basically i should give it a try - pointing keyscript option to cryptroot scenario? | 22:06 |
| apb1963 | When I installed 12.04 LTS server yesterday, there was no network attached. | 22:06 |
| apb1963 | So I'm guessing something didn't get configured properly I suppose. | 22:07 |
| TJ- | failmaster: See section 6 "Exotic key types" of /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.initramfs.gz | 22:07 |
| histo | Vivekananda: I don't know much of anything about lpr | 22:07 |
| failmaster | TJ-, there is a sentence from there in http://askubuntu.com/questions/330660/what-is-the-correct-way-to-use-key-file-luks-authorization which make this part mysterious | 22:07 |
| failmaster | but it takes the script in case of non-rootfs device on boot =) | 22:08 |
| OerHeks | apb1963, this manual is a good start > https://help.ubuntu.com/13.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 22:08 |
| failmaster | what a mess | 22:08 |
| apb1963 | 12.04 ? | 22:09 |
| apb1963 | close enough? | 22:09 |
| OerHeks | apb1963, should be the same i guess > https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/serverguide/network-configuration.html | 22:09 |

| TJ- | failmaster: There's a script "crypto-usb-key.sh" attached to another of my crypt articles: http://tjworld.net/wiki/Linux/Ubuntu/HardyRAID5EncryptedLVM#EncryptedDiskConfiguration | 22:10 |
| histo | apb1963: check your cable | 22:10 |
| histo | apb1963: and on the ubuntu box sudo service networking restart or restart the machine | 22:11 |
| Vivekananda | okay | 22:11 |
| TJ- | failmaster: I think the thing to understand is, if you provide the key-file name as an absolute path, and that path is mounted when cryptsetup runs, then no helper script is needed. If however you're using an encrypted rootfs, then it needs a helper script since by definition nothing except the initramfs is mounted - and you won't want to store the key-file in there! | 22:11 |
| Vivekananda | but would you know about writing demons | 22:11 |
| failmaster | TJ-, /boot is mounted on that stage | 22:12 |
| failmaster | TJ-, and non rootfs device gets unlocked successfully | 22:12 |
| TJ- | But you won't be storing the key-file in an unencrypted boot? | 22:12 |
| Kratisto78 | ubottu: I tried adding the nomodeset this time I could see a small amount of purple stretched across the top and it looked like it was loading into ubuntu but eventually it just reset and reverted back to windows. I just put nomodeset right after quiet and splash | 22:13 |
| ubottu | Kratisto78: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) | 22:13 |
| failmaster | TJ-, i will because wherever i store it it's unencrypted, so boot in my case is removable physically | 22:13 |
| TJ- | failmaster: The docs say, when not providign absolute paths, cryptsetup script will look in certain pre-determined directories for the files | 22:13 |
| Kratisto78 | guess i meant usr13 | 22:13 |
| TJ- | failmaster: OK, that makes sense, if its a removable USB device. | 22:14 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: I tried adding the nomodeset this time I could see a small amount of purple stretched across the top and it looked like it was loading into ubuntu but eventually it just reset and reverted back to windows. I just put nomodeset right after quiet and splash | 22:14 |
| failmaster | TJ-, that makes me sure i'm not the victim of evil-maid, that's why key is under /boot/key and i don't see the reason why it should be more complicated | 22:14 |
| apb1963 | OK so I believe that eth0 never got configured/created, since ifconfig doesn't show anything but lo... so do I follow the "manual" method in the ... manual? Or is there something else that will set it up for me? | 22:14 |
| histo | apb1963: ifconfig eth0 up | 22:14 |
| histo | apb1963: or ifup eth0 | 22:14 |
| failmaster | TJ-, what is funny is that it actually worked on 12.04 2 months ago | 22:15 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Is this a virtual machine install? | 22:15 |
| apb1963 | no, that doesn't work.... there's no device | 22:15 |
| TJ- | failmaster: So, have you specified the absolute path to the key-file in crypttab whilst /boot is mounted then? | 22:15 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: Nope I want to wipe my windows off this eventually | 22:15 |
| histo | apb1963: or ip link set eth0 up | 22:15 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: So right now it's a Dual-Boot setup, right? | 22:15 |
| OerHeks | apb1963, on ubuntu server you need to set it up through the installationwizard, or manually after setup because you had no internet available. | 22:16 |
| failmaster | TJ-, yep, just /boot/key but hook just skips this entry with warning during update of initramfs-environment image | 22:16 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Is it 12.04 or 13.04, or ___________? | 22:16 |
| failmaster | TJ-, skips only for rootfs device | 22:16 |
| xkernel | I'm looking for app that allows team collaboration like desktop sharing with real time drawings | 22:16 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: Its only a windows install I'm trying to install ubuntu and I believe 13.04 but I can double check | 22:17 |
| apb1963 | OerHeks: So I would follow the manual method on the page you gave me yes? | 22:17 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Is it wubi? | 22:17 |
| histo | xkernel: there are plenty of colaboration apps. Search the software center or alternativeto.net | 22:17 |
| OerHeks | apb1963, yes, that would be fine | 22:17 |
| TJ- | failmaster: which version of Ubuntu is this? I'm reading the scripts for 13.04 right now but they could have changed | 22:18 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: No I didn't use that at all I just used a program to mount an ubuntu iso on a usb | 22:18 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: So you didn't really "install" ubuntu yet, right? | 22:18 |
| failmaster | TJ-, 13.04 came up with this problem on freshly installed instance http://askubuntu.com/questions/330660/what-is-the-correct-way-to-use-key-file-luks-authorization | 22:18 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: no not yet | 22:18 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: So right now, your just trying to boot Ubuntu LiveUSB? | 22:19 |
| apb1963 | ok histo's last command - ip link set eth0 up seems to have created the interface, as ifconfig recognizes it now | 22:19 |
| histo | apb1963: wasn't this system working previously? | 22:19 |
| Kratisto78 | I just logged into windows and looked at the usb and wubi is something I can launch. Do i try that? And yes I'm just trying to boot into it using a live usb | 22:19 |
| apb1963 | histo: no. new install | 22:19 |
| apb1963 | as of yesterday | 22:19 |
| SuperLag | grub seems different than what I remember it | 22:19 |
| SuperLag | How do you change which kernel boots, by default, if several are listed in the menu.lst file? | 22:20 |
| histo | apb1963: is this a server install with no desktop? | 22:20 |
| apb1963 | so eth0 shows up now.... but no ip4 address... there does seem to be an ip6 address... but my ISP only gives me ip4 afaik... plus now of course with the new router, I'm behind nat so my router is assigning ip4.... I think. | 22:21 |
| k1l_ | SuperLag: for grub2 there is no menu.lst anymore. | 22:21 |
| histo | SuperLag: you shoulnd't have a menu.1st with grub2 you edit /etc/default/grub and after you make changes sudo update-grub | 22:21 |
| apb1963 | histo: correct | 22:21 |
| histo | apb1963: then configure /etc/network/interfaces to put up your interface on boot and dhcp or use static whatever. | 22:21 |
| SuperLag | k1l_: well, that would do it, wouldn't it? :) | 22:21 |
| k1l_ | SuperLag: see the wiki pages for grub2, read it and get used to the new script-style. | 22:21 |
| apb1963 | k | 22:21 |
| usr13 | SuperLag: /boot/grub/menu.lst. It has been replaced by /boot/grub/grub.cfg. | 22:21 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: So, which ISO is it? 12.04 64bit? 12.04 32bit? 13.04 64bit? 13.04 32bit? __________? | 22:22 |
| xqee | hello here is my problem, i want that script detect any video filetype not only mp4 so how i can solve this string? /home/user/mediass.sh $FPATH/*.mp4 | 22:22 |
| John____ | i have a question is it possible that i can use ufw on servers like ubuntu server? | 22:22 |
| failmaster | TJ-, just to make it clear, my steps where pretty simple - set it up with default passphrase auth for both hdds in system, after that leave the only keyslot for key file auth, so both devices have only 1 option - being unlocked with the key file, which works on boot only for non-rootfs device (any mount point but /) | 22:22 |
| usr13 | John____: You probably just need to create a firewall-script | 22:23 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: I thought it was 13.04 64 bit but I'm not sure. Is there anywhere on the usb i can check to confirm? | 22:23 |
| TJ- | failmaster: The code in the script is at lines 281-284 of /usr/share/initramfs-tools/scripts/local-top/cryptroot | 22:23 |
| Cyrax | Even reinstall virtualbox and install ubuntu 12.04 LTS didnt help.. still it gets me only in terminal. I guess I need abit older version of ubuntu.. version 10 or 11 | 22:23 |
| TJ- | failmaster: There has to be a key-script if there's a key-file, according to that code | 22:24 |
| histo | Cyrax: ubuntu boots fine in virtualbox | 22:24 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Probably, not sure, but do you have the name of the ISO image file? | 22:24 |
| Cyrax | it wont get me in the desktop.. said something about Xorg.. idk.. but it only gets me into terminal only.. nothing else | 22:24 |
| xqee | can i just write like this /home/user/mediass.sh $FPATH/*.mp4, mkv, avi ? | 22:24 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: Oh yeah I believe this is the one I put on its ubuntu 13.04 desktop amd64 | 22:25 |
| failmaster | TJ-, the only symptom that gives me start fro troubleshooting is cryptroot hook warning during `update-initramfs`, thank you, will give it a look, but... the fact it should be there is not defined according to manpages =) and the fact it works with non-root devices in system makes it even more frustrating, so it was a bug when it used to work liek this in 12.04 for rootfs device :D | 22:26 |
| Cyrax | histo: So what shall I do? | 22:26 |

| TJ- | failmaster: I don't know how much clearer I can say it: sdb1 is unlocked because it is mounted after the real rootfs has been unlocked, and at that point /boot/ has also been mounted because of the entry in /etc/fstab. At the point that that linux and initrd are running /boot/ is *not* mounted and therefore the key-file is not accessible. Also, the key-file for rootfs *needs* a helper script installing that'll 'cat' the key-file to stdout so it can be read by the | 22:32 |

| histo | Cyrax: it should match this https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuHashes | 22:33 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Oh wait. You said it booted up? | 22:34 |
| failmaster | TJ-, so grub never mounts /boot ? =) | 22:34 |
| histo | xqee: I would ask in #bash | 22:34 |
| trace30m | Ari-Yang: but better 3D | 22:34 |
| Cyrax | I installed virtualbox on my windoos 8 64 bit.. then i downloaded .iso of ubuntu.. the 12.04 LTS on virtualbox | 22:34 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Did it boot up ok this time? | 22:34 |
| Kratisto78 | yeah I'm in ubuntu | 22:34 |
| Ari-Yang | trace30m, the open source driver, UVD, and the new dynamic power management competes, hell even beats fglrx | 22:35 |
| histo | Cyrax: aparently your iso is bad if it's hanging in virtualbox | 22:35 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: fuck I always forget to type your name in front. I have an option to instlal on the desktop since its in ubuntu | 22:35 |
| histo | !language | Kratisto78 | 22:35 |
| ubottu | Kratisto78: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. | 22:35 |
| Ari-Yang | trace30m, can't point you the way, just google what I said, check phoronix out too, bye | 22:35 |
| TJ- | failmaster: GRUB mounts /boot/ to read the bootloader menu and files, and then it chains the linux kernel and initrd image into memory and hands over to them. At that point, *Linux* does *not* have /boot/ mounted. | 22:35 |
| Kratisto78 | Sorry everyone my fault | 22:35 |
| trace30m | Ari-Yang: is the opensource driver enough for 3D? | 22:35 |
| budmang | usr13: that worked FYI | 22:35 |
| budmang | sorry stepped out for lunch. | 22:35 |
| xqee | Thanks All | 22:35 |
| failmaster | TJ-, how it takes my initrd image requiring appropriate fs module, what is the default mount point then at this stage? =) | 22:36 |
| Dr_Willis | trace30m: try it and see how well it works for you. | 22:36 |
| Cyrax | histo: So what i do? i dont understand this hash5sum or what it was called.. so u need to help find a way to fix it | 22:36 |
| usr13 | budmang: Good. Thanks for telling us. | 22:36 |
| Wulframn | Cyrax: To fix it you need to download a fresh .iso. | 22:36 |
| Dr_Willis | Cyrax: if the iso is a bad download. you redownload it. (torrents can help make sure its a good download) | 22:36 |
| budmang | usr13: why would it not take the default :) | 22:37 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Ok... go for it. | 22:37 |
| Cyrax | Can u give me a fresh fixed one please? | 22:37 |
| usr13 | budmang: Not sure... | 22:37 |
| TJ- | failmaster: initrd is mounted as a read-only / file-system... it is replaced by the *real* rootfs just before /sbin/init is executed | 22:37 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: Okay thanks I'll try it hopefully it works and I don't need to report back | 22:37 |
| linuxliam_ | what is the best irc client based on features and ease of use granted i am using xchat but i looked at launchpad bug listings for xchat some have been there for years with no fix i would love to fix it myself but im not a developer and input appreciated | 22:37 |
| Wulframn | Cyrax: Do you know how to use torrents? | 22:37 |
| Cyrax | yes ofcours | 22:37 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Ok. Good luck. (We'll be here....) | 22:38 |
| Cyrax | problem is to fix that ubuntu u said | 22:38 |
| TJ- | failmaster: So if the real rootfs is encrypted, and its key-file is on the /boot/ file-system, then initrd has to have a script that will mount /boot/ file-sytem onto /boot/ in order to read the key-file | 22:38 |
| failmaster | TJ-, whatever, there should be a mount point for filesystem which contains initrd image? | 22:38 |
| histo | Cyrax: I don't need to do anything. You need to read the page that you've been provided as it clearly points you in the right direction for obtaining a hash value of the iso you have on your machine. After you get that you compare it to the link I provided you with the hashes to confirm it matches. | 22:38 |
| Cyrax | i jsut have to install a older ubuntu | 22:39 |
| Wulframn | Cyrax: download this .torrent file and use it to download Ubuntu 12.04 via your preferred torrent client. http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | 22:39 |
| usr13 | Cyrax: md5sum ubuntu-what-ever.iso #Wait for result and google it. | 22:39 |
| TJ- | failmaster: initrd is the root and it contains an /init script that does all the early set-up work, including unlocking a possibly encrypted rootfs that will replace initrd | 22:39 |
| usr13 | Cyrax: Which ISO image do you have? | 22:39 |
| failmaster | TJ-, initrd image is a file on a filesystem, that's why grub needs a module for this | 22:39 |
| TJ- | failmaster: http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-initrd/index.html | 22:40 |
| TJ- | failmaster: "The initial RAM disk (initrd) is an initial root file system that is mounted prior to when the real root file system is available" | 22:40 |
| Cyrax | just curious.. about setting ram.. can i set it to any when creating virtual drive or must it b 512MB | 22:41 |
| failmaster | TJ-, agreed, but technically it mounts unpacking from the file which is built as /boot/initrd.img-3.8.0-blah so it has to mount the media with boot | 22:41 |
| Jordan_U | failmaster: Why do you want to have a separate key file for your LUKS container rather than doing things normally (with everything needed in the LUKS header)? | 22:42 |
| usr13 | Cyrax: Depends on how much you have, how much you think you need or can afford for Ubuntu. | 22:42 |
| TJ- | failmaster: *what* "has to mount the media with boot" ... that would be GRUB... and Linux has just replaced GRUB in memory and is executing. GRUB is dead! | 22:42 |
| Cyrax | I got 8GB ram | 22:42 |
| usr13 | Cyrax: Give it 2G or so. | 22:43 |
| failmaster | Jordan_U, not sure what you mean exactly, i jsut want key file auth on boot for every luks device without 3rd party script | 22:43 |
| TJ- | failmaster: So, the answer to your issue is, USE A KEY-SCRIPT ! | 22:43 |
| usr13 | Cyrax: I don't even think Ubuntu will run on only 512M | 22:44 |
| failmaster | TJ-, this answer should be given in /usr/share/doc/cryptsetup/README.initramfs.gz and there is none | 22:44 |
| Wulframn | usr13: 512M is the minimum recommended amount | 22:45 |
| Wulframn | It's gonna run *slooow* | 22:45 |
| TJ- | failmaster: "...if you wish to make use of more complex setups (such as root-key-on-usb-memory), you can create a script which does all the steps necessary to retrieve the key and then prints it to stdout" | 22:45 |
| usr13 | Cyrax: If it does, it would be pretty slow and clunky, (unless you go for lubuntu or xubuntu). But as Wulframn suggests, 512M is "minimum" recommended amount, so... | 22:46 |
| failmaster | TJ-, it gives me an option to have such scenario in case i will decide to hide it deeper, however it is clear for me that grub should mount filesystem with kernel image and initrd before ram disk starts to spin providing initramfs environment | 22:46 |
| Jordan_U | failmaster: Is this keyfile contained on a separate media that you plan to keep more secure than the media containing the root filesystem itself? | 22:46 |
| failmaster | TJ-, that's why i already had such setup | 22:46 |
| failmaster | Jordan_U, on /boot which is removable device physically | 22:46 |
| Wulframn | I was throwing it out there that that was the minimum; I *strongly* recommend a minimum of 2G unless you want to know what it's like to ride a snail uphill through molasses! | 22:46 |
| usr13 | Cyrax: Considering what Wulframn must posted, 1G or 1.5G might be ok. | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | failmaster: A removable device which you plan to keep more secure than the internal drive? | 22:47 |
| Jordan_U | failmaster: More physically secure that is. | 22:47 |
| failmaster | Jordan_U, exactly, because internal drives without bootloader and keys in there are already secured, that's how i see the point of encryption | 22:47 |
| TJ- | failmaster: You are failing to understand that whatever GRUB does, the Linux kernel does *not* inherit. GRUB doesn't 'mount' file-systems for Linux. | 22:48 |
| dminuth | hey guys, am having following problem. Ubuntu 12.04LTS, am not seeing my battery charge level on a toshiba satellite l745d. I tried any and all Ubuntu based distro's and am having same proble,.. Tried Debian and it has it. But i like Ubuntu. So any idea how to get that to work. I know it has to do with the toshiba-acpi kernel module but i am not advanced enough to find the solution | 22:48 |
| usr13 | Cyrax: Wulframn agrees that 2G is good. | 22:48 |
| TJ- | failmaster: I've been using this exact scenario for my servers for over five years; it needs the key-script. | 22:48 |
| Vivekananda | I am trying to print directly to printer from ubuntu ( ie without print dialogue). Shoould I do this or should I first write a .txt file and then print it or should I write a file in a shared folder, find a host ( win7) program to monitor the folder and print to the printer directly | 22:48 |
| failmaster | TJ-, so it's necessary to have the key file built into initrd in order to make it work for rootfs device? | 22:49 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: lpr Hit enter, start typing, Ctrl-d at start of line to finish, or lpr file-name.txt | 22:50 |
| TJ- | failmaster: not the key-file no, the key-script. The key-script then does what is needed (in your case, it mounts /boot/ temporarily, reads the key-file, unmounts /boot/, writes the key-file content to stdout, and exits | 22:50 |
| Jordan_U | failmaster: You seem to have it completely backwards. The drives containing the encrypted data are useless to an attacker if they steal the laptop (assuming this is a laptop), but the key (contained on your flash drive) is very valuable. The key should be stored on the *most* physically secure media, not the least physically secure media (if it's stored unencrypted in the first place). | 22:50 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: ... that is, if the desired printer is set as server default. (lpq should tell you that). | 22:50 |
| dminuth | Toshiba laptop not showing battery charge level, Can anyone help ? | 22:51 |
| failmaster | Jordan_U, it's not a laptop, it's a olid box that weights about 16kg and i have a very exotic backup for this key file | 22:51 |
| syntroPi | aaarg where is the gui way to add a user to a group????? do i really need terminal or edit /etc/groups manually?? | 22:51 |
| TJ- | failmaster: All the servers in my racks use the same method | 22:51 |
| usr13 | Vivekananda: You should also be able to do lpr file.pdf or lpr file.jpg | 22:51 |
| histo | Vivekananda: lpr filename -P printername | 22:51 |
| Jordan_U | failmaster: Why keep your most important secret (the decryption key) on something that weighs a few grams and is easily stolen then? | 22:52 |
| failmaster | TJ-, i got it, but why do i need a keyscript at all if at some point i have an absolute path which is correct at the timeline where cryptsetup takes place | 22:52 |
| Vivekananda | usr13: I have a guest ubuntu on vbox on a guest win7. here is the problem I am facing --http://www.gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/6215384 | 22:53 |
| failmaster | Jordan_U, because no once can steal it from me | 22:53 |
| dminuth | <--- requiring help for toshiba-acpi. | 22:53 |
| failmaster | one* lol | 22:53 |
| Wulframn | failmaster: are you andre the giant and skilled in all forms of martial arts? | 22:53 |
| TJ- | failmaster: How does Linux and the initrd scripts know where to find the file-system to mount to read the key-file? Because each admin might choose to do that bit differently, we're left to provide our own key-script | 22:53 |
| Jordan_U | failmaster: How is your USB drive secured? Do you keep it in a safe when not in use? | 22:53 |
| failmaster | Wulframn, no, i got my profit-habits | 22:53 |
| Vivekananda | usr13: histo the file prints but with lots of weird things. eg sometimes one print goes through but all paper in the tray is cycled through!! other times I get 2 or more prints as in the link I posted above | 22:53 |
| Wulframn | failmaster: Then it is easily stolen. You it would behoove you to listen to those attempting to educate you. | 22:54 |
| Vivekananda | usr13: histo the file prints but with lots of weird things. eg sometimes one print goes through but all paper in the tray is cycled through!! other times I get 2 or more prints as in the link I posted above http://www.gist.github.com/vvikramjhu/6215384 | 22:54 |
| Vivekananda | sorry | 22:54 |
| histo | Vivekananda: print driver issue? | 22:54 |
| failmaster | TJ-, i wouldn't argue if it wasn't working 2 months ago with 12.04, but before that i used the keyscript =) | 22:55 |
| failmaster | i didn't need one 2 months ago | 22:55 |
| failmaster | and i'm 100% sure about it | 22:55 |
| failmaster | Wulframn, did it ever happen to you, something was stolen from you? | 22:56 |
| Vivekananda | histo: I tried to locate the driver and set up the printer but not of much help | 22:56 |
| TJ- | failmaster: Maybe the previous keyscript was inherited without your realising? | 22:56 |
| Vivekananda | I located the driver and installed it and the printer showed up -- brother (HL 2270dw ) | 22:56 |
| failmaster | TJ-, how, when i was the one editing crypttab the same way | 22:57 |
| Wulframn | failmaster: Yes, I had a trailer with ~$10,000 worth of lawn equipment stolen from me once. It was securely locked, monitored, and had a high, locked fence around it. If someone wants to take something from you they will find a way to take it. | 22:57 |
| Vivekananda | but still did ont find it in cups setup so left it. Also someone told me that vbox uses its own printers | 22:57 |
| failmaster | Wulframn, nothing was stolen from me for all my life and it's not like i sit at home 24hrs a day, i got my own methods and telling about it is insecure for me =) | 22:58 |
| Jordan_U | failmaster: The default for LUKS is to have a version of the encryption key, which is itself encrypted with a passphrase, stored in the LUKS header. This is a sane and decently secure configuration. It sounds like your configuration is both less secure (because the key is being stored in plain text / unencrypted) and more complicated. I recommend that you rething your configuration and go with something more secure, simple, and maintain | 22:58 |
| failmaster | but as a matter of giving a clue it's all about forming necessary habits of yours | 22:58 |
| Wulframn | What's that old saying? Well, the computer-guy version of it is: There's only two types of people in the world: those who back up their data and those who've never had a hard drive failure. | 22:58 |
| Vivekananda | histo: how do I ask ubuntu to use the drivers I installed manually for the printer ? | 22:58 |
| histo | Vivekananda: use cups to select whatever driver | 22:59 |
| histo | !cups | Vivekananda | 22:59 |
| ubottu | Vivekananda: Printing in Ubuntu is done with cups. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Printers - https://wiki.ubuntu.com/HardwareSupportComponentsPrinters - http://linuxprinting.org - Printer sharing: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/NetworkPrintingWithUbuntu | 22:59 |
| histo | Vivekananda: opena browser and go to localhost:631 | 22:59 |
| failmaster | Jordan_U, it only sounds like that because destroying the key in the right moment will save you from telling the password to people how know how to extract it from you body =) | 22:59 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: "stored unencrypted" not so. I use IronKey F200 fingerprint-secured USB flash drives as the key store. | 22:59 |
| failmaster | who* | 22:59 |
| failmaster | Jordan_U, sorry for my english, i'm not that fast enough | 23:00 |
| bekks | TJ-: fingerprint secured? Thats not really secure. | 23:00 |
| TJ- | bekks: From casual loss or copying, it is | 23:00 |
| histo | bekks: depends on the fingerprint scanner accuracy | 23:01 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: Does failmaster use an IronKey F200 fingerprint-secured USB flash drive? I expect that your setup is secure, as you seem to have a much better understanding of the technology than failmaster. | 23:01 |
| failmaster | TJ-, but actually you gave me a very good clue how to deal with it! i really appreciate your backup mate! | 23:01 |
| bekks | Depends on the will of the attacker to cut your finger... | 23:01 |
| benzrf | when you live boot is there a default root password? | 23:01 |
| bekks | !root | benzrf | 23:01 |
| ubottu | benzrf: 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 | 23:01 |
| TJ- | bekks: At that level, the same argument applies to being 'persuaded' to reveal the passphrase/password | 23:02 |
| benzrf | bekks: yes, but on the liveusb | 23:02 |
| benzrf | :P | 23:02 |
| failmaster | Jordan_U, it's not necessary while you have a custom device which can destroy the media instantly | 23:02 |
| bekks | benzrf: That applies to the live usb as well. | 23:02 |
| Wulframn | lol | 23:02 |
| rotham | hey.. where should I add exports (to add env variables) if I want them to be added everytime the system reboots? | 23:02 |
| benzrf | ok | 23:02 |
| benzrf | :| | 23:02 |
| TJ- | failmaster: Have you thought of using LUKS with GRUB to encrypt the boot too? I've been working on patches to that to enable key-files for GRUB | 23:03 |
| TJ- | On a totally unrelated note - anyone fancy fixing this sfdisk bug: "Warning: partition 5 is not contained in partition 5" !? | 23:04 |
| failmaster | TJ-, nah, mostly because i chose the way of my behavior via 100% destruction of the media and inability to provide the keyfile atm when someone will be trying to beat it out from me | 23:04 |
| TJ- | failmaster: I'd quite like LUKS to support a 999 key slot, that when used, would destroy the content of the encrypted volume | 23:05 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: Could you please pastebin the full output from sfdisk as well as the output of "sudo parted -l" and "sudo fdisk -lu"? | 23:06 |
| === imcsk8 is now known as imcsk8|desktop | ||
| TJ- | Jordan_U: http://pastebin.com/wvf4HHGx | 23:06 |
| failmaster | TJ-, the backup of the keyfile is stored in a very exotic form of media which requires having rare equipment which costs enough and hard to get enough fast, key file in there is not in it's end form and there is a person who responsible to judge if i'm under pressure or not to give the backup away to me | 23:06 |
| rotham | hey.. to add vars to my environment should i just add them to /etc/environment or is there a better way? | 23:07 |
| wget | Hi guys. I would like to know if Ubuntu automatically remove previous unused kernels and initramfs after a kernel upgrade? | 23:08 |
| failmaster | TJ-, so that's why i am so annoying in here with that question, i never liked the idea of having 3rd party helper so it was a bless for me when i got rid of it on 12.04 | 23:08 |
| wget | *removes | 23:08 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: The issue I'm dealing with is the recovery of a hardware-damaged 500GB SATA drive. Used ddrescue and recovered ~450GB of it to a clone 1TB drive. The image has 4 primary partitions, so the 1TB right now cannot be allocated beyond 500GB. I need to re-write MBR's P.T. #4 as an extended partition, then move the values from #4 into the first logical partition. I've got sfdisk to allow me to do that with various over-ride switches, but then it hits this weird | 23:09 |
| TJ- | bug! I'm reading the source code, in partition_ok(), and can't see how it's figuring out that the logical partition is its own parent E.P. ! | 23:09 |
| us0r | hey, is iptables -A | 23:09 |
| us0r | sorry, wrong channel | 23:09 |
| failmaster | wget, nope it doesn't as far as i know | 23:10 |
| failmaster | wget, and it's great mostly because you can fall back to previous ones in case something was broken | 23:11 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: you still there? | 23:11 |
| wget | failmaster: So after an upgrade from let's say 13.04 to 13.10 then 14.04, I could have a bunch of unused kernels (and not counting the ones from security updates). What a mess is that for a Linux distribution... | 23:11 |
| Wulframn | wget: Even if it does not, the kernels are not very large and cleanup is not very difficult. | 23:11 |
| failmaster | wget, well, if you don't like it, you can manage to deal with it using regexps to remove all kernels older than current version-1 | 23:12 |
| wget | Wulframn: I know that, I'm quite accustomed to use GNU Linux distribution, but am looking for a newbie distribution for totally noob users. | 23:12 |
| Vivekananda | histo: I already went that route and tried to look for the driver. But I did not get the driver and also I found that for my printer there is a driver.deb present on the site so I used this to downloadd and install it -- http://askubuntu.com/questions/226307/how-to-install-a-brother-hl2270dw-laser-printer | 23:12 |
| wget | *distributions | 23:12 |
| failmaster | wget, to make it work automatically you can set it up into some custom hook | 23:12 |
| Kratisto78 | If anyone can help usr13 was helping me before. I have a lenovo s400 laptop and I just used a usb to install ubuntu. I attempted to reboot after the install and now it goes right to a black screen. Nothing happens. I tried the button that boots right into bios and still nothing. | 23:12 |
| Wulframn | wget: Why would a newbie need to cleanup old kernels? By the time they, feasibly, would "need" to they would know how. | 23:13 |
| failmaster | so during updates it will check the *garbage* stuff | 23:13 |
| Jordan_U | TJ-: It might be easier to just use gdisk and convert it to GPT. | 23:13 |

| ubottu | hphhh: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience | 23:14 |
| wget | Wulframn: Because after time it's machine will contain a bunch of unused kernels and different kernel version might appear in their bootloader menu which may frighten them ;-) (I wanted an automatic cleaning tool, but solution from failmaster to add a hook sounds great.) | 23:14 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: thats what we did before but now I literally can't do anything. When I hit the button that took me to bios before it loads right into a blank screen. I literally see nothing not even bios | 23:15 |
| wget | failmaster: Wulframn: Do you have any mkinitcpio tool on Ubuntu too (sorry I'm actually an ArchLinux user for now) | 23:15 |
| usr13 | hphhh: Yea | 23:15 |
| haydenhm | Does anyone here know how to make a grage band file a .wav??? | 23:15 |
| Wulframn | wget: Ubuntu automatically handles updating grub.cfg to reflect the newest kernel, without directing them to use an older kernel. | 23:15 |
| hphhh | I not really expert on ubuntu and i want active my wireless lan i have lenovo z570 | 23:15 |
| failmaster | wget, i suggest you to deal with it manually until you have limited space on /boot device | 23:15 |
| failmaster | wget, it would be better to leave them, believe me =) | 23:16 |

| Wulframn | wget: I'm actually a Gentoo user and I don't have an Ubuntu right in front of me as my virtualbox is down. =P | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | wget: Recent versions of Ubuntu keep older kernels in a separate "Advanced" submenu in the grub menu, so they won't scare users (or clutter the main menu). | 23:16 |
| wget | Jordan_U: Thanks for the info. | 23:16 |
| Jordan_U | wget: You're welcome. | 23:16 |

| failmaster | wget, that shouldn't be a problem until the space on /boot device is very limited, in that case dig in a way of getting custom hook which would be called in a cozy way to get rid of *garbage* but define garbage carefully | 23:18 |

| TJ- | Jordan_U: I'm reading up on gdisk, but so far not found any confirmation it can change an in-situ fully populated MBR to GPT without affecting the already-configured partitions or the file-systems within them | 23:18 |
| TJ- | Jordan_U: Would you happen to know if it can be done? | 23:18 |
| k1l_ | hphhh: make sure there is no switch turned off | 23:19 |
| Jordan_U | haydenhm: There probably isn't a simple tool to make a garage band project into an audio file (other than garage band itself), as it's not an audio file itself. It's a little like the difference between a word document and a jpeg rendering of that document. A Garage band project is not an audio file, it's a project (though if you're lucky it may be a directory containing among other things a pre-rendered cache of the music). | 23:19 |

| wget | failmaster: Ahah ;-) (It was related to dmraid, if you want to know. The latter detects the array not the partition, need to write a hook that does a 'partprobe' to prevent the kernel that new partitions are available, those from the raid). | 23:25 |

| Kratisto78 | Wulframn: Yes. Even if I press the button that used to boot into bios nothing happens. It turns on to a black screen | 23:35 |

| Wulframn | Kratisto78: take it into the store and show them that the monitor is dead. Don't tell them you put ubuntu on it or they'll try to tell you that you borked it. Tell them it just went black during normal use (which is probably did) and have them check the hardware connections, etc. | 23:38 |

| Kratisto78 | Wulframn: I struggled with it for days but I put it in legacy mode and when I added nomodeset it got into the live and I installed from there | 23:43 |
| Wulframn | blz: apparently they want some application from win7 that was not on their factory recovery cd | 23:43 |
| blz | Wulframn, I'm wondering if his problem isn't that he overwrote the recovery partition that some manufacturers include | 23:44 |
| Kratisto78 | Wulframn: See what robin0800 just said. This is what I'm worried about | 23:44 |
| Wulframn | Kratisto78: please attempt to boot into the live usb environment. Just see if you can even get *anything* on the monitor. Anything at all | 23:44 |

| nukleuz | Budmang: Hmm. Ok. I'm wondering what happened to my setup. Unfortunally is my server located in Germany, and I'm in Norway, so I cant see whats happening during the bootup; do you know if ther are some logs from the boot somewhere? | 23:56 |
