| budmang | us0r: there are other factors too figure in, one thing at a time. | 00:00 |

| budmang | You need the rule to repor tin iptables -L | 00:00 |
| blz | Psil0cybin, I think clamwin runs on linux, but it's mainly for the benefit of windows/mac users that may depend on services the linux box provides | 00:00 |
| blz | Psil0cybin, typically email | 00:00 |

| usr13 | kubunto: Maybe you could try and remove the backports repositories? | 00:00 |
| * kubunto has lost all paitence | 00:00 | |
| Psil0cybin | okay | 00:00 |
| DrekAlots | Man. Everything is crashing on this machine. libproxy just took a dump on me as well. | 00:00 |
| Psil0cybin | just wanted to make sure :) | 00:00 |
| Psil0cybin | you guys rock | 00:00 |
| Psil0cybin | blz, | 00:00 |
| kubunto | usr13 what the hell does that mean | 00:00 |
| blz | Psil0cybin, the secret is not to run arbitrary, untrusted stuff =) | 00:01 |

| Psil0cybin | blz, of course :) just wanted to make sure for web browsing | 00:01 |
| Psil0cybin | etc | 00:01 |
| Psil0cybin | im very keen about not installing untrusted software | 00:01 |
| Psil0cybin | just wanted to make sure i am doing everything in my power to stay safe ;) | 00:01 |
| blz | Psil0cybin, try this: sudo apt-get install apparmor-profiles | 00:01 |
| failmaster | Psil0cybin, basically there is no self-copying malware designed for posix, which would have the ways to distribute itself via even presented bugs due to complexity of certain system environment that should meet some requirements to make it possible, however if you're running misconfigured system, you need to take care of rights and user privileges at first matter, while rkhunter is an additional instrument | 00:01 |
| Psil0cybin | better be safe than sorry | 00:01 |
| blz | Psil0cybin, that should help isolate your browser a bit | 00:01 |
| Wulframn | Psil0cybin: malware works in Wind | 00:02 |
| Psil0cybin | yea yea | 00:02 |
| Kratisto78 | Shout out to everyone in this irc. usr13 really helped me get started. Wulf helped a ton. Same with TJ fail everyone. Thank you for helping me while I tried to not have a heart attack. Seems like I have to press f12 on boot up each time though. Weird | 00:02 |
| Wulframn | lol failmaster beat me to it | 00:02 |
| Psil0cybin | but if i dont have wine | 00:02 |
| Psil0cybin | then they shoudnt work | 00:02 |
| usr13 | kubunto: In your Package Manager, you enabled "backports" right? (Try dissabling it.) | 00:02 |
| blz | Psil0cybin, then see this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/160758/how-do-i-enable-the-apparmor-profile-for-firefox | 00:02 |
| Wulframn | Psil0cybin: even if you have wine no malware should be able to do anything of consequence to your system. =P | 00:02 |
| kubunto | usr13 i am unable to open the @#$%@#$ gui | 00:02 |
| failmaster | Psil0cybin, good news, you can try installing it on wine until you don't use anything but this malware from-under wine environment, not a good idea though LOL | 00:03 |
| usr13 | Kratisto78: Glad you figured it out! :) | 00:03 |
| Wulframn | Psil0cybin: I've been running linux systems since 2008 completed unprotected by all that jazz and have never *once* had an issue. Sometimes I intentionally download a virus and insert it into a windows VM just for giggles to remind myself what it was like. | 00:03 |
| TJ- | Kratisto78: There's 2 things: 1) the machine's BIOS/UEFI maybe is configured not to display a splash screen or progress report, and 2) when GRUB loads it is set to hide the menu and not show a timeout prompt. Both things you may want to change! | 00:03 |
| Psil0cybin | hahah Wulframn i love LINUX :) | 00:03 |
| Psil0cybin | hopefully soon one of these days ill know enough and it will be epic | 00:04 |
| Kratisto78 | usr13: Thank you for all your help. This place is great. Going to put i3wm on here some time soon. | 00:04 |

| Wulframn | Psil0cybin: we've all been there. No worries | 00:04 |
| failmaster | got old clean shv :D | 00:04 |
| us0r | budmang: ok, ran it and it printed a blank line like it should | 00:04 |
| us0r | budmang: check iptables -L again? | 00:05 |
| usr13 | kubunto: I suppose you could remove [or comment out] the lines with "backports" in them, in your sources.list file and do: sudo apt-get update | 00:05 |
| Wulframn | Kratisto78: I'm glad it worked out. I was worried. That was the first lenovo I'd heard of that had an issue like that (that wasn't caused by a user). I was wondering if I had to start questioning them. =P | 00:05 |
| kubunto | usr13 and where would that be? | 00:06 |
| usr13 | kubunto: /etc/apt/sources.list | 00:06 |
| failmaster | well, looks like grub still needs /boot to be mounted, but maybe i'm missing something, so i don't get it why my setup stopped working and started to ask a custom 3rd party keyscript from me again | 00:06 |
| Kratisto78 | TJ-: I'll check it out. It seems to skip grub now or I don't have to click anything. Also the more I think about it I'm fine with the no brightness. Now i'll always use the minimum amount to save battery and no one can use it without permission hahahaha. Well unless they load up irc to figure out whats wrong | 00:06 |
| TJ- | Kratisto78: When it boots hold down Shift as soon as possible to get GRUB to show its boot menu | 00:07 |
| Kratisto78 | tj-: okay good to know | 00:07 |
| kubunto | usr13: is htere a reason for simple applications to be slow as shit when the packages are screwed up? | 00:07 |

| TJ- | Jordan_U: Thanks for the suggestion, gdisk did OK :) Now I can get on with recovering the corrupted Logical Volumes in one of the VGs | 00:08 |
| kubunto | usr13 how do i comment lines out in this? | 00:09 |
| Kratisto78 | failmaster-: I didn't press fn so i hit brightness plus one and my screen bightness defaulted to 0 so my monitor turned on. | 00:09 |
| blockshadow | how fix wirless on gnacktrack R5?? | 00:09 |
| usr13 | kubunto: # | 00:10 |

| Wulframn | It's that moment...when you've been compiling packages in portage for more than an hour...that you look and realize that all of the longest-to-compile packages are all qt packages you didn't need and could've excluded with a simple USE flag...that you forgot to define. *sigh* | 00:17 |

| DrekAlots | Does Ubuntu use UUID's the standard /dev/sdb method of mounting drives in fstab on boot? | 00:17 |
| us0r | budmang: g2g, thx for the help :) | 00:18 |
| usr13 | DrekAlots: Yes | 00:18 |
| failmaster | DrekAlots, yep | 00:18 |
| DrekAlots | is one way preferred over the other? | 00:19 |
| Wulframn | DrekAlots: I am under the impression that UUIDs are considered superior to labels | 00:19 |
| usr13 | DrekAlots: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Fstab | 00:19 |
| usr13 | DrekAlots: uuids are better because they don't change | 00:20 |
| kubunto | usr13: the error did not change | 00:20 |
| DrekAlots | usr13: thanks. | 00:20 |
| DrekAlots | Wulframn: Thanks | 00:20 |
| Wulframn | DrekAlots: that was all usr13 =) | 00:21 |
| Wulframn | I'm just here to hang out and occassionally spam the room with musings. =P | 00:21 |
| DrekAlots | I'm used to labels coming from Gentoo for the past 5yrs. | 00:21 |
| * Wulframn is a Gentoo user, too | 00:21 | |
| usr13 | kubunto: Did you do: sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/* -vf ? | 00:21 |
| kubunto | usr13 yes | 00:22 |
| DrekAlots | I enjoy Gentoo. If Ubuntu keeps pissing me off I may go back. lol | 00:22 |
| usr13 | kubunto: After that, did you do: sudo apt-get update ? | 00:22 |
| Wulframn | DrekAlots: two different distros for two different people/jobs. | 00:22 |
| kubunto | usr13 yes | 00:22 |
| usr13 | kubunto: See: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PackageManagerTroubleshootingProcedure | 00:22 |
| DrekAlots | Wulframn: Indeed. We use Ubuntu at work so I'm trying to get used to it by running it on my own machine. I took a stage4 of my gentoo install before going to ubuntu though. lol | 00:23 |
| ameri-dry | does any one know of a good channel for beginner devs looking to code for the ubuntu touch platform | 00:23 |
| kubunto | usr13, I cannot even do step one as this has broke my update manager | 00:23 |
| dr_willis | !touch | ameri-dry | 00:24 |
| ubottu | ameri-dry: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch | 00:24 |
| DrekAlots | ok. I just clicked on a mounted parition and now I have no menu bars... no unity. wth. how can i restart unity? | 00:24 |
| failmaster | DrekAlots, the difference is that you can still build debian-based distros from source while you can't get those pre-compiled binaries as packages in gentoo or am i worng? | 00:24 |
| dr_willis | DrekAlots: try alt-f2 'compiz --replace' | 00:24 |
| usr13 | kubunto: pastebinit /etc/apt/sources.list #And send resulting URL | 00:24 |
| Wulframn | failmaster: you can get binaries in gentoo; depends on what you're trying to do | 00:25 |
| DrekAlots | dr_willis: alt+f2 is not working. | 00:25 |
| failmaster | that's what i'm saying =) | 00:25 |
| ameri-dry | thank you drwillis | 00:25 |
| dr_willis | DrekAlots: head to the console and restsrat the lightdm service, and that will restart x.. i guess.. or you could try some other ways to force compiz to restart.. easier to just log out/back in | 00:25 |
| budmang | nukleuz: yes, thats what KVM is for, you access it on a seperate IP/vlan/vpn etc.. | 00:26 |
| budmang | IP KVM. | 00:26 |
| failmaster | guys, i need some backup on understanding this thing... it doesn't necessarily means that we have the device mounted on /boot during initrd stage? http://www.gnu.org/software/grub/manual/grub.html#prefix | 00:27 |
| nukleuz | Anyone that can explain to me how KVM works? Can i remote KVM to a server that wont boot? O.o Does the server need any software installed to get that working, or is the «Virtual Machine Manager» on the client everything I need? Get's a notice that pkg «libvirt-bin» and «libvirtd» is missing, but I dont understand if that is on the client or the server? | 00:27 |

| rjknight1 | hello guys... may I ask how the ldap users become a sudoer on the ubuntu client? | 00:29 |

| rjknight1 | @jpds : Yes | 00:30 |
| kubunto | usr13: paste.ubuntu.com/5979320/ | 00:30 |
| TJ- | nukleuz: I think you have your KVMs mixed up. In terms of remote-hands on servers, KVM == Keyboard Video Mouse, which is a way to access the hardware console remotely. KVM in virtualisation is the Linux Kernel Virtual Machine - something totally different. | 00:31 |
| usr13 | kubunto: can't find the server at paste.ubuntu.com.5979320 | 00:31 |
| kubunto | usr13: paste.ubuntu.com/5979320/ | 00:31 |
| DrekAlots | well, restarting lightdm crashed my machine. | 00:32 |
| TJ- | nukleuz: servers deployed in data-centres often have either KVM ethernet switches or use IPMI for out-of-band remote hardware console access | 00:32 |
| failmaster | why everything that affects cryptsetup reported as a bug becomes a "Shishlist" or a "Question" while it is clear that it's a bug | 00:33 |
| failmaster | whishlist* | 00:33 |
| nukleuz | TJ-: Ah, I sure did mix up! :O But how can i figure out if my server does have KVM? What software to use? | 00:34 |
| nukleuz | TJ-: I'm using SSH usuallt | 00:34 |
| TJ- | nukleuz: You'd need to ask your data-centre provider. If it's a virtual machine (VPS) then they'll usually have an out-of-band access to the VM's console. | 00:35 |
| nukleuz | TJ-: No, its not a VM. | 00:35 |
| TJ- | nukleuz: Dedicated box? I'd assume they'd have KVM access over the net for that | 00:36 |

| wilee-nilee | peteo_, Close the installer and open gparted from the menu, you can make a partition table there. Then just run the install and choose the install at the gui before the one you are showing. | 01:09 |
| Coburn | okay folks | 01:10 |
| Coburn | Hmmm | 01:10 |
| Coburn | Odd, it says it's only picking up 1536MB Memory | 01:10 |
| Coburn | what line am I looking for to see how much the GPU is using? | 01:11 |
| wilee-nilee | peteo, Here is the gparted manual. http://gparted.sourceforge.net/display-doc.php?name=help-manual#gparted-create-partition-table | 01:11 |
| wilee-nilee | msdos is what you want for a table peteo | 01:12 |
| peteo_ | wilee-nilee, when I go to create a new partition I get "A new partition table cannot be created when there are active partitions. Active partitions are those that are in use, such as a mounted file system, or enabled swap space. Use Partition menu options, such as unmount or swapoff, to deactivate all partitions on this device before creating a new partition table." | 01:12 |
| wilee-nilee | peteo_, Take a screenshot of gparted and imagebin it. | 01:13 |
| Coburn | peteo_: open terminal. sudo fdisk /dev/sdX where sdX is your hdd's name. | 01:13 |
| Coburn | then at the prompt, do 'o' | 01:13 |
| Coburn | make sure you get "building new disklabel" | 01:13 |
| Coburn | then 'w' | 01:13 |
| Coburn | exit | 01:14 |
| Coburn | that will blank the MBR | 01:14 |
| Coburn | HOWEVER, you will lose any partitions on that disk! | 01:14 |
| wilee-nilee | Coburn, would you like to help this person? | 01:14 |
| peteo_ | wilee=nilee, http://imagebin.org/267337 | 01:14 |
| Coburn | OH | 01:14 |
| Coburn | peteo_: | 01:14 |
| Coburn | what is your computer? is it UEFI ready? | 01:15 |
| Coburn | Or is it just BIOS | 01:15 |
| peteo_ | what? | 01:15 |
| Coburn | I have seen your issue | 01:15 |
| Coburn | The Ubuntu installer is thinking your USB stick is the first HDD | 01:15 |
| Coburn | you need to point it to the second HDD | 01:15 |
| Coburn | which would be /dev/sdb | 01:15 |
| wilee-nilee | peteo_, THat is showing your usb, it happens at times that a HD and the usb get reversed, use the drop down top left to get to the hard drive, and do a screen shot if it. | 01:16 |
| Coburn | in the dropdown on the gparted window, do you have an entry for /dev/sdb ? | 01:16 |
| peteo_ | http://imagebin.org/267338 | 01:16 |
| wilee-nilee | Coburn, You are interrupting things are fine without your help. | 01:16 |
| Coburn | My apologies | 01:16 |
| Coburn | I'll go back to installing Ubuntu | 01:17 |
| * Coburn spins around on his chair | 01:17 | |
| wilee-nilee | peteo_, Same thing, that is your usb, top right corner drop down choose the actual Hard drive, and take a screen shot should be sdb. | 01:18 |
| peteo_ | wilee-nilee, there is no sdb | 01:18 |
| Coburn | odd | 01:18 |
| wilee-nilee | peteo_, YOu have a HD in the computer right, if so you need to reseat it. | 01:18 |
| Coburn | ^ | 01:19 |
| Coburn | that, or the cables aren't properly plugged in | 01:19 |
| Coburn | or something | 01:19 |
| peteo_ | wilee-nilee, how do I reseat it? | 01:19 |
| Coburn | you'll have to open up the computer | 01:19 |
| Coburn | is this laptop or desktop? | 01:19 |
| peteo_ | so it's an actual physical thing that I need to change? | 01:19 |
| peteo_ | desktop | 01:20 |

| Coburn | peteo_: what's your PC's brand (make) and model? | 01:20 |
| peteo_ | it is a dell opteplex GX260 | 01:21 |
| Coburn | Ah, good 'ol dells | 01:21 |
| peteo | lovely arnt they | 01:21 |
| Coburn | Did you get a new hard disk installed in it? | 01:21 |
| peteo | I pu a new one in it, the other one was corruppt | 01:21 |
| Coburn | As in, take it into a store, and they fitted a new HDD into it? | 01:21 |
| Coburn | I see. | 01:22 |
| peteo | no I did it myself | 01:22 |
| Coburn | Right. | 01:22 |
| Coburn | Alright, so when you put it in, there's a chance that you might have not plugged the cables in 100%, which means that the computer makes bad contact with the device | 01:22 |
| Coburn | thus, causing the HDD to not appear. | 01:22 |
| peteo | ok I'll open it up now | 01:23 |
| Coburn | what you need to do is open up the PC and check your cables | 01:23 |
| peteo | ok can do | 01:23 |
| Coburn | just gently push them into their proper areas | 01:23 |
| peteo | it's shutting down now | 01:23 |
| Coburn | No problem | 01:24 |
| Coburn | Even a minor loose cable can be a headache | 01:24 |
| Coburn | I've had ones myself | 01:24 |
| Coburn | especially IDE cables... Those things are crap | 01:24 |
| TJ- | Depending on the disk type, could be a jumper setting issue | 01:24 |
| Coburn | assuming the DELL is running SATA, shouldn't matter, but if it's IDE, then yes. Valid point, TJ- | 01:25 |

| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: Are you using gimp 2.8? It should have created its directory in your home directory ~/.gimp-2.8/ containing lots of sub-dirs and files too. See http://paste.ubuntu.com/5979508/ | 01:55 |
| darkelfjuggalo | it created it i usr/share/ I cannot access it anywhere else | 01:56 |

| darkelfjuggalo | manually | 01:58 |

| quidnunc | wilee-nilee: Both but host is 32-bit, guest is 64-bit | 02:03 |

| peteo | Have to go will try new hd in morning | 02:07 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: That looks good; as I'd expect. The only thing I can think is that there are restrictive permissions on your home directory preventing gimp from creating it's own config dir | 02:08 |
| darkelfjuggalo | how do I fix this? | 02:08 |
| holstein | darkelfjuggalo: fix what? | 02:09 |
| darkelfjuggalo | i guess the proper question is How do I add my personal log-in to Root usergroup to by pass this problem in the future without having to log into root? | 02:09 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: Find out the real problem first, don't guess. Check out the man-page "man gimp! and read the ENVIRONMENT and FILES sections carefully; they spell out how gimp figures out where its personal directory is. You might have an environment shell variable set to over-ride the default | 02:09 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: "man 1 gimp" | 02:10 |
| TALEL | I'm having trouble getting my phone bluetooth to sync with my ubuntu laptop, everytime I attempt to pair the devices it fails | 02:11 |

| thewhistlepig | hello | 02:12 |
| darkelfjuggalo | TJ-, i am in man 1 gimp, what next? | 02:12 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: At a terminal, start it with "gimp --verbose | tee /tmp/gimp.log" and then press Ctrl+C to kill it once it has loaded. Then read "/tmp/gimp.log" especially the first few lines, to see what it is doing to look for its user directory | 02:12 |
| holstein | darkelfjuggalo: i thought you downloaded a .deb for GIMP? | 02:13 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: page down in the manual to the ENVIRONMENT and FILES sections, they explain how it decides the user directory name and location. | 02:13 |
| TJ- | holstein: If so, that would explain the problem, because it sounds as if the installed gimp isn't configured correctly | 02:14 |
| holstein | darkelfjuggalo: if so, you ask the maintainer of the package you downloaded for support | 02:14 |
| darkelfjuggalo | holstein, i download a deb for everything i can, so i assumed i did for gimp, gimp download page is repository instructions for flavors | 02:14 |
| holstein | darkelfjuggalo: you shouldnt download a .deb for everything you can.. you should try the one in the repos, and move on if needed | 02:14 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: Let's find out: what does this report? "apt-cache policy gimp" | 02:15 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: What version of Ubuntu are you using? | 02:15 |
| darkelfjuggalo | TJ- 13.04 | 02:15 |
| darkelfjuggalo | im trying to keep up with instructions but the chat log is pushing everything off my screen too fast | 02:16 |
| TJ- | darkelfjuggalo: OK, so if you install from the Ubuntu archive there's no reason for it to be broken. You might try removing and reinstalling, to be sure. That'd be "sudo apt-get --purge remove gimp gimp-data" then "sudo apt-get install gimp" | 02:16 |

| darkelfjuggalo | oh, i'm lost on what it is meaning | 02:21 |
| holstein | darkelfjuggalo: where did you get this .deb? | 02:21 |

| TJ- | holstein: According to dpkg-query -l, the correct Ubuntu versions are installed | 02:22 |
| darkelfjuggalo | holstein, moving away from the .deb for gimp... gimp.org does not offer it...only instructions to 'apt-get install gimp' | 02:22 |
| holstein | renzo: 12.04 is what i would use | 02:22 |
| p0rk | um. so why did you ask if it was ubuntu only to ignore me? | 02:23 |
| renzo | @holstein Thanks for your opinion. Do you think i'd be missing any feature in contrast to 12.10? | 02:24 |

| Yvain_ | Yeah well Canonical might as well be Google | 03:07 |
| Yvain_ | It's good your not using Uni-track | 03:07 |
| zq | :( | 03:07 |
| zq | well judging from the trajectory of the fundraising efforts for the edge, canonical is still in the wannabe stage | 03:08 |
| Yvain_ | Wannabe, but they are still exploiting people like Google | 03:08 |
| Yvain_ | Zq, if your problem is unity, and you like Ubuntu, why not use Xubuntu, or a non-unity distro? | 03:09 |
| wilee-nilee | Yvain_, In your own words "Trolololololl" | 03:09 |
| Yvain_ | Xubuntu won't drag all the baggage Unity does | 03:10 |
| zq | Yvain_: that won't work because the dbus dependencies live at a per-package granularity | 03:10 |
| TJ- | zq: I wouldn't worry, it's all change again "In general, the big migration here is away from DBusMenu (which was Ubuntu-only) to GMenu which is in GLib." 2013-07-24 | 03:10 |
| zq | it's pretty much checkmate | 03:11 |

| acovrig | What would be the best way of providing microsoft office to 3 people (concurrently) who would click any download button they see (so I don't want to just install 7-not looking forward to dealing w/a trojan again) | 03:19 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: not ubuntu related | 03:19 |
| acovrig | I know, but I was wondering if someone would recommend a VM setup (what I'm thinking about) | 03:20 |
| acovrig | I'm thinking of 3 windows 7 VMs in VirtualBox that I'll install and take a snapshot so when they get a virus I can jump back to that; does this seem over complicated? | 03:22 |
| xmetal | brb looking up issues i am having with newegg | 03:22 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: im not understanding. you want to provde ms office to 3 ppl? | 03:24 |
| === Guest68070 is now known as amarshall | ||
| acovrig | yes (siblings taking IC3) | 03:24 |
| acovrig | I like the idea of VirtualBox accessed via RDP because it can be accessed by a tablet (w/a USB keyboard) | 03:25 |
| xmetal | may be worth just paying about $10 more for this item .. .anyway .. where did chat go? lol | 03:26 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: thats not concurent to three people, except unless you have 3 vms. have you seen http://desktop.onlive.com/ | 03:26 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: or are you trying to go the free route | 03:26 |
| acovrig | ideally, yes and I was planning on 3 VMs | 03:26 |
| xmetal | :-" libre or Open office | 03:27 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: i just use google docs. so i cant help ya there | 03:27 |
| xmetal | oops wrong chat for that 'face' | 03:28 |
| acovrig | they use libre now, but IC3 will be hard for them anyway, not to mention all the screenshots are going to be office 2010 | 03:30 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: x over ssh, wine. 1 vm, 3 users, 3 instances of ms office. check the wine site to see which version of ms office is good to go | 03:34 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: 3 vms would eat a LOT of ram imo | 03:34 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: highly inefficient and power consuming | 03:34 |
| deepin | hello | 03:35 |
| pvl1 | hello | 03:35 |

| Geoffroi_Suibhne | Hello everyone, Geoffroi_Suibhnehere and i'm here and ready to DDoS. | 03:40 |
| thiebaude | go away,lol | 03:40 |
| acovrig | pvl1: I have 2 systems (old: 512MB RAM, everything is IDE) and 2 PPC mac G5s I bet I can't do anything with these can I? | 03:41 |
| xmetal | anyway they are able to run open or libre office .. instead of messing with MS office via wine over Vmbox or whatever ? | 03:41 |
| acovrig | xmetal: that would be wonderful (especially given 1 is already running ubuntu desktop w/libre) but they are quite illiterate so IC3 is going to be hard in itself, and all the screenshots r gonna b of ms office which would make it too confusing :/ | 03:42 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: how much ram on the g5's | 03:43 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: so far your still looking at my wine/x-over-ssh solution | 03:44 |
| acovrig | 8GB I think | 03:45 |
| acovrig | could I run office in wine on a PPC (wouldn't it require intel)? | 03:45 |
| pvl1 | no idea | 03:48 |
| pvl1 | try compiling it acovrig that would be fun | 03:48 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: 8gb would probably be enough for 3 vm's | 03:48 |
| * acovrig lol | 03:48 | |
| pvl1 | but i just dont like the idea | 03:48 |
| pvl1 | acovrig: windows 7 what version | 03:48 |
| pvl1 | because theres an rdp feature for sharing just a program | 03:49 |
| kalakj | Hello Everyone, i am using Ubuntu 12.04 x64 LTS, and it is having problem of Restart instead of shutdown, maximum no. of times,, i currently using BURG, instead of GRUB, i also tried to tweak using some flags in GRUB, installed laptop mode tools, this and that, but all are in vain. How to solve that?? BIOS Update was not available for my laptop , LENOVO B480, bios smbios H5ET32WW (1.05 ) | 03:49 |
| === alan_ is now known as Guest38244 | ||
| pvl1 | acovrig: i tink youd be best of one vm, 3 accounts either way. but there is an rdp feature in win7 ultimate that allows you to share programs. kinda kool go research it | 03:49 |
| Guest38244 | can you use adobe photoshop using linux???? | 03:49 |
| acovrig | pvl1: yes, but the fact that there PPCs are *very* limiting, they can't run any windows or the latest flash (in mac any who, I haven't tried ubuntu yet) | 03:49 |
| deepin | emm,,i have no question ,,,just chatting | 03:50 |
| kalakj | deepin: Can u help me | 03:50 |
| acovrig | pvl1: I didn't know that, 1 VM would be *much* better especially given I have a fully legit 7 w/office 2010 in a VM already I can just move over | 03:50 |
| pvl1 | deepin: dont wanna be mean, but the ops and ppls wanna keep this ubuntu specific help. theres ubuntu-offtopic if u just wanna talk. i think theyre currently discussing breaking bad... so im not listening | 03:50 |

| pvl1 | acovrig: but what ver win7 | 03:51 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: im not sure what is wrong | 03:51 |
| acovrig | I wanna say ultimate so this could work, but I guess any way I look at it I'm still gonna need a new system (good luck trying to run a win7 VM on a 512MB system) | 03:51 |
| kalakj | pvl1: hmm, thanks ,but i have tried many OL solutions but these are not working | 03:52 |
| deepin | what's ur question | 03:52 |
| pvl1 | failmaster: launchpad says its a confirmed bug | 03:53 |
| failmaster | failmaster, where? | 03:54 |
| kalakj | pvl1: I am surprised that Ubuntu Developers are messing with such program, which were working well in earlier versions strange, they should not mess with things that are working fine, instead they should work on the programs, that need attentions | 03:54 |
| failmaster | pvl1, where? | 03:54 |
| acovrig | I forgot about ubuntu-offtopic, I guess thats where I should be; thanks pvl1 for the help I'll probably end up building an UbuntuDesktop that will autologin and open firefox and auto boot the 7vm in headless mode and use it sorta as a media PC as well | 03:54 |

| pvl1 | acovrig: sounds hip | 03:56 |
| failmaster | pvl1, it's my own response to myself which points to the bug that could probably correlate with this issue, however i experienced this setup working | 03:56 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: im not understanding of what your issue is | 03:56 |
| pvl1 | failmaster: oh. lol fail. sorry i have no experience with this. but is this not working at all? id recommend the typical debug stuff. logs, running stuff in verbose | 03:57 |
| kalakj | pvl1: my issue is that, whenever i shutdown my laptop, it restarts, instead of shutdown, and in windows it is properly shutting down, in ubuntu 10.04 or 11.10, it was properly shutting down, but in ubuntu 12.04 LTS, it is restarting | 03:58 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: are you on the system now | 03:58 |
| kalakj | yes | 03:58 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: or are we talking from another | 03:58 |
| pvl1 | oh | 03:58 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: even when you run sudo shutdown | 03:59 |
| failmaster | pvl1, it won't work with rootfs device, but anyway, thank you for your attention! | 03:59 |
| pvl1 | failmaster: try #linux | 03:59 |
| kalakj | yes, it is restarting, i have tried the sudo halt | 03:59 |
| kalakj | pvl1: but why to issue a command, when there is GUI options available | 04:00 |
| kalakj | a normal user will use them, instead of commands | 04:00 |
| failmaster | pvl1, i'm afraid that at the moment people will realize it's ubuntu - getting support from there will be hard ;) | 04:00 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: we need to follow the yellow brick road to whats not working. so even with the command it reboots? | 04:01 |
| pvl1 | failmaster: i doubt it, they like a challange | 04:01 |
| pvl1 | failmaster: if theres people asking about which photo program is best... theyll appreciate this | 04:01 |
| kalakj | pvl1: i tried sudo halt, let me try sudo shutdown and tell you the results, i will be back in few minutes. | 04:01 |
| failmaster | deal | 04:02 |

| ScootaLewis | and i have some questions about a thing called fglrx? | 04:13 |
| ScootaLewis | i have a radeon hd 6450 integrated graphics card so i was wondering what the optimal drivers would be for playing a game such as team fortress 2 | 04:14 |
| ScootaLewis | anybody here, uh...know about that? | 04:15 |
| kalakj | pvl1: it again rebooted | 04:15 |
| kalakj | i tried sudo shutdown -h now | 04:15 |
| kalakj | pvl1: are you there | 04:15 |
| ScootaLewis | i was referred here by someone called benzrf | 04:16 |
| ScootaLewis | he said i might be able to find help | 04:16 |
| ScootaLewis | o_o | 04:16 |
| kalakj | ScootalLewis: :D | 04:16 |
| ScootaLewis | so yeah if there's any team fortress 2 players who play on ubuntu i'd like to talk | 04:17 |

| failmaster | nurow, http://www.linlap.com and such and so on according to google resulsts http://linuxhcl.com | 04:28 |
| failmaster | junktext, can i order those things in russia? | 04:28 |
| nurow | junktext, I actually bought a System76 Bonobo Extreme 7, but the clickpad has no driver, the brightness control does not work, and the headphone jack does not work | 04:29 |
| nurow | I'm actually furious that they claim that these are Ubuntu certified laptops, when they are really just reselling Clevo and have not even written the necessary drivers for the laptops devices. | 04:29 |
| failmaster | nvm | 04:29 |
| junktext | nurow, hmm odd. Did they offer you a replacement? I've never used a System76 build, but I hear from reviews that many like them. | 04:30 |
| kalakj | pvl1: yes i tried this, already | 04:30 |
| kalakj | but it was mentioned in another post | 04:30 |
| kalakj | still no success | 04:30 |
| nurow | their support has also been really horrible, with lots of response like "if we figure it out we'll let you know" | 04:30 |
| junktext | failmaster: I'm not sure about the Russian question. | 04:30 |
| wilee-nilee | nurow, Sytem 76 has an area on the ubuntu forums, might you talk with them? | 04:30 |
| failmaster | junktext, nevermind | 04:30 |
| nurow | yeah I've posted there Wilee-nilee. Lots of others with the same issues. | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: i would try to apt-get purge grub-common grub-pc-bin | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | or whatever theyre called | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: DO NOT REBOOT | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | then | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | kalakj: reinstall grub, and try that fix | 04:31 |
| junktext | nurow: I would imagine they would provide you a replacement. How long have you had your Bonobo? | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | sleepytime | 04:31 |
| nurow | System76 wants me to mail the laptop back to them, but that will mean I have to go two weeks without a computer.. | 04:31 |
| pvl1 | gnight | 04:31 |
| junktext | Ah, I see. Sorry it's a pain, I understand. | 04:32 |
| nurow | junktext, the problem is that the new bonx7 line is missing critical drivers, and even the bonx6 never had propoer clickpad drivers after MONTHS | 04:32 |
| nurow | http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2163227 | 04:33 |

CHECK THE LOGS for the service. have its configs enable verbose logging and check the logs... check its homepage and forums for trouble shooting tips | 04:58 |
| * dr_willis has no idea what mmonit even does. | 04:58 | |
| alfreddba | mmonit used to monit services, | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | many services can start in a non-deamon mode - so their error messages and logs can go to the standard console | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | a service to service services.... | 04:59 |
| dr_willis | my first guess would be you have it missconfigured. so its not starting. or its starting but you are using the wrong ip/port combo | 05:00 |
| dr_willis | the service command can show what services are running. | 05:00 |
| alfreddba | dr_willis: ichecked the log...Required <License> element not found... | 05:01 |

| Cyrax | idk.. i fell asleep so i forgot.. sorry. besides it confuse me the whole md5sum thing.. have no clue what it is,how to do it | 05:09 |
| dr_willis | md5sum testfile -> prints out a huge number.. | 05:09 |
| === RedefinedClank is now known as Clank|Gone | ||
| dr_willis | the md5sum.txt file from your download site willl have a 'testfile originalsum#####' you look at and compare the 2 | 05:09 |
| Cyrax | Compare sure i can.. but how when idk what to look for.. no idea about md5sum | 05:10 |
| dr_willis | what to look for? if you got the calculated sum. and the sum from the file.. you just look and se eif the 2 numbers are the same | 05:10 |
| Cyrax | besudes i only have 1 md5sum.txt file | 05:11 |
| Cyrax | *besides | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | Cyrax: so look IN the file.. and find the sum for whatever file you are interested in | 05:11 |
| dr_willis | what is the file name you are wanting to sum? | 05:11 |
| junktext | An MD5 is like a file's fingerprint. If you have a corrupt/malicious file, you can compare a known good MD5 to a file by running "md5sum <file>" in a shell. If the output of md5sum differs from the known good MD5 file, you have a problem. | 05:11 |
| Cyrax | dr_willis: here is what the md5sum look like: http://pastebin.com/DzB4QaE7 | 05:13 |

| M4yh3m | hi i had an awful issue with ubuntu last night.. after installing it and rebooted my computer it got frozend at the bios just after detecting my hard drive, i couldn't enter the bios or do anything else. | 05:13 |
| dr_willis | Cyrax: you dont need to sum EVERY FILE.. just the one you are interested in | 05:13 |
| M4yh3m | does any one have any information regarding this issue? | 05:14 |
| Cyrax | told u i have no idea.. thats y i gave u that | 05:14 |
| junktext | For example if you have a text file and all it says is "Hi", and then you run and md5sum on that, then you change the text to "Hi?", then run md5sum again. You'll see two different MD5 values. | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | if the file name is 'foo.iso' you would 'md5sum foo.iso' then look in your md5sum.txt file for a line with 'foo.iso' in it that lists its sum | 05:14 |
| dr_willis | its not very complex at all. | 05:14 |
| wilee-nilee | M4yh3m, Black screen, blinking cursor? "it got frozend at the bios just after detecting my hard drive" is rather vague | 05:15 |
| M4yh3m | wilee-nilee just stopped after detecting my hard drives | 05:15 |
| dr_willis | you wnt to check the md5sum of the ISO file after you download it and verifyu its good.. befor you burn it or put it on usb | 05:15 |
| wilee-nilee | M4yh3m, screen black? | 05:15 |
| M4yh3m | not black screen or blinking cursor just that.. just stopped there | 05:16 |
| Cyrax | Sorry.. but i can't underdstand it. | 05:16 |

| M4yh3m | it's very strange i had linux mint before but i wanted to move to ubuntu | 05:17 |
| M4yh3m | i did the partitioning.. fine the installation gone well.. everything was fine.. just rebooted and my computer halted at the bios.. | 05:17 |
| netcat | help! i have format /boot | 05:17 |
| ax562 | where does ubuntu store it's apps? | 05:18 |
| Cyrax | Besises like i said its my first time,so idk anything about md5sum and those | 05:18 |
| netcat | i installed ubuntu and then install win7 ,but i can't start anyone | 05:18 |
| junktext | An MD5 is a mathematical value of the overall file, which is why each MD5 value is generally unique. Because there are so many MD5 values that can be output, and this is why it is hard to fool a tool like "md5sum" by adding a virus or doing something else to the original file without being noticed by an MD5 value. | 05:18 |
| ubnoobtu | can you link the help page again? | 05:19 |
| netcat | so i format /boot,and install a grub,when open computer show grub> | 05:19 |
| junktext | So and MD5 or "md5sum" is just a quick 'smell-test' to see if the file is intact as intended. | 05:19 |
| wilee-nilee | m4sker, Power on and immediately hold down the shift and if you see the grub boot menu hit e and navigate to this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash" And change it to this GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="text" and continue boot to see where it stops, you can also use nomodeset there to check for a missing graphic driver. | 05:20 |
| Cyrax | Anyone knows any older version of ubuntu? cuz i can't get the newest version to work at all. i dont have any clue about this md5sum thing how to compare and all | 05:20 |

| wilee-nilee | Cyrax, Older than what? | 05:21 |
| M4yh3m | wilee-nilee i couldn't do anything :( my computer freeze completeley after detecting my hard drive.. i think it could be something with the partitioning | 05:21 |
| Cyrax | older then version 12 of ubuntu | 05:21 |
| junktext | You don't really need to do the md5sum if you trust the source of where you received the file, Cyrax. The md5sum is just for the overly cautious. | 05:21 |
| Cyrax | version 12 dont work for me | 05:21 |
| wilee-nilee | M4yh3m, So no bios flash? | 05:22 |
| wilee-nilee | Cyrax, That is the oldest supported with a desktop. | 05:22 |
| Flannel | junktext: md5sum helps check for download problems. | 05:22 |
| junktext | Flannel, I hear you, but the installer does that too. | 05:22 |
| Flannel | Cyrax: If you don't want to figure out md5sum, download it via the torrent. Bittorrent will do an integrity check for you. | 05:22 |

| M4yh3m | wilee-nilee i have some skills at computers.. so certainly i can tell you.. ubuntu did something to the partition table or the MBR so my computer freeze, i can see the bios screen but it hangs after detecting my hard drive.. | 05:23 |
| thinced | or simply type: md5sum whatever.iso | 05:23 |
| netcat | who help me? | 05:23 |
| wilee-nilee | M4yh3m, I was not questioning your skills, best of luck. ;) | 05:23 |
| M4yh3m | i had to remove my drive then connect it to another computer with an usb adapter so i could wipe it with a low level format.. | 05:24 |

| looped | 9 | 05:25 |
| wilee-nilee | M4yh3m, If you did a low level wipe it probably had no partition table, did you make one? | 05:25 |
| netcat | 9 | 05:25 |
| Cyrax | writing md5sum in terminal didnt work | 05:25 |
| M4yh3m | wilee-nilee yes now i have to reformat and create everything again.. but i want firs figure out what happened previously.. | 05:26 |
| junktext | Did you just get a blank line after you typed "md5sum", Cyrax? | 05:26 |
| netcat | hello | 05:26 |
| junktext | If so, it's because you should actually type: md5sum <filename> | 05:27 |
| wilee-nilee | M4yh3m, Sure, sometimes this happens, with no determinable reason. | 05:27 |
| Cyrax | yes ofcourse.. i wrote md5sum [the name of exact file i downloaded that ended with .iso] | 05:27 |
| dr_willis | Cyrax: use a proper command syntax as was shown | 05:27 |
| M4yh3m | wilee-nilee i scare to install ubuntu :D | 05:27 |
| dr_willis | it will take time to calculate the sum | 05:27 |
| junktext | Yeah, that could be too. | 05:27 |
| wilee-nilee | Cyrax, You have windows 8 how are you running a sum check? | 05:28 |
| junktext | Oh, he's on Windows, huh? | 05:28 |
| Cyrax | yes i am | 05:28 |
| wilee-nilee | was earlier this is a vbox install | 05:28 |
| Cyrax | I got windows 8 64 bit.. and running virtualbox on it | 05:28 |
| junktext | Yeah, Windows doesn't have a default md5sum app. | 05:28 |
| junktext | You can download a program though. | 05:29 |
| dr_willis | many burning apps calculate the sum also | 05:29 |
| junktext | Cyrax, which version of Ubuntu did you download? | 05:29 |
| === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen | ||
| wilee-nilee | Cyrax, This was the 32 bit ubuntu desktop right? | 05:29 |
| TannedVampire | how do I load ubuntu to ram on startup? | 05:30 |
| Cyrax | no idea about that. from what i heard last time he said i was running or might running x86 (32),but it didnt work | 05:30 |
| Cyrax | \tbh i have no idea.. everything is confusing with all the problems trying to get it to work | 05:31 |
| Cyrax | here is what i downloaded: ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso | 05:31 |
| wilee-nilee | Cyrax, Make a copy of the iso name it the same as the torrent file seen here and use a torrent to check it. http://www.ubuntu.com/download/alternative-downloads | 05:31 |
| junktext | So, have you burnt that ISO to a CD/DVD? Did you have problems? | 05:32 |
| dr_willis | TannedVampire: you want to put the live cd totally into ram? | 05:32 |
| wilee-nilee | Cyrax, This is the torrent name. ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso.torrent | 05:33 |
| TannedVampire | i already installed ubuntu on my laptop, but it is too slow. | 05:33 |
| dr_willis | TannedVampire: and your system specs are? | 05:33 |
| TannedVampire | I thought that putting all of ubuntu and applications onto RAM at startup might speed up user experience. | 05:34 |
| wilee-nilee | TannedVampire, Is the hardware up for the release? | 05:34 |
| dr_willis | !ram | 05:34 |

| Ben64 | no you don't | 05:35 |

| dr_willis | linux handles the ram better then you can. B-) | 05:36 |
| TannedVampire | a regular 5 year old laptop | 05:36 |
| dr_willis | i think you need to look again | 05:36 |
| junktext | TannedVampire, most computers today use GigaBytes (GB) of RAM, not the smaller MB. | 05:36 |
| TannedVampire | Oh | 05:36 |
| Ben64 | TannedVampire: if you're using unity, that may be causing it to be slow, i'd suggest using something like gnome-fallback or xfce | 05:37 |

| auronandace | Cyrax: what specs are you giving the vm? | 06:54 |
| Cyrax | idk.. i only make a virtual drive,then install ubuntu on it | 06:55 |
| moldy | matthias_: you have not described your actual problem yet -- where are you stuck? | 06:55 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: you should know, you made the vm | 06:55 |
| lacy20 | good afternoon | 06:56 |
| matthias_ | moldy: have you seen my screenshoot? my clients load everything until they configure the eth0 and get a new ip adress and then they stop and fall into busybox | 06:56 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: how much ram and diskspace did you give it? | 06:57 |
| Cyrax | if u give me a min,i check once I made virtual drive once again | 06:57 |
| moldy | matthias_: something is wrong in your client image. apparently something related to nbd | 06:58 |
| Cyrax | On Memory Size I always made it to 1204MB.. after awhile i gave it 2000MB.. the other one i had it on 8GB | 06:59 |
| Cyrax | *1024MB | 06:59 |
| moldy | matthias_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/ProxyDHCP#Failure:_Insufficient_Information_to_set_up_nbd.2C_quitting | 06:59 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: 2048mb should be enough | 06:59 |
| Cyrax | well.. either way.. i cna't get it to work.. i try again | 07:00 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: if your hardware has 8gb then i doubt you could set up a vm that uses 8gb ram | 07:00 |
| Coburn | you can give a VM 8GB | 07:01 |
| Coburn | you'll just be swapping like hell | 07:01 |
| Coburn | how can I have a onscreen keyboard on the unlock prompt? | 07:01 |
| Coburn | I don't have keyboard on this tablet | 07:01 |
| Cyrax | So what should i put it on? what GB?. i had it on default 8GB | 07:01 |
| Coburn | Cyrax: half your available ram at the most | 07:02 |
| Coburn | for example, use 8GB? then 4GB | 07:02 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: are you sure you are referring to ram? | 07:02 |
| Cyrax | No idea | 07:02 |
| Cyrax | let me check | 07:02 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: if 8gb is the default i sincerely doubt thats the default setting for a ubuntu vm | 07:02 |
| Cyrax | File and location size is at the default 8GB .. the memory size i gave it 2048 | 07:03 |
| Cyrax | *2048MB | 07:03 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: memory is ram | 07:03 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: the default 8gb you are referring to is the size of the disk you are giving it | 07:03 |
| Cyrax | so give it like 4000MB? | 07:04 |
| failmaster | could someone help please to shed some light on why this configuration stopped working with freshly installed 13.04 http://askubuntu.com/questions/330660/what-is-the-correct-way-to-use-key-file-luks-authorization especially curious if we have /boot accessible at it's absolute path on corresponding to cryptsetup boot stage? | 07:04 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: i'd use 10gb for the harddisk at least | 07:04 |
| Cyrax | Max memory size I can choose is 8192, MAx file and location size I can choose is 2TB | 07:06 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: you don't want either that high | 07:06 |
| Cyrax | i know | 07:06 |
| matthias_ | moldy: thanks what i did was to add an option that was not for 12.04 but it works now | 07:06 |
| === cjopcjop is now known as Le | ||
| auronandace | Cyrax: 2gb ram, 10gb harddrive is enough | 07:06 |
| === andrex is now known as andrex|off | ||

| auronandace | Cyrax: go to the settings of your vm and make sure the storage section has the iso you downloaded in it so you can install | 07:10 |
| gsommer | I've used apt to install the source for a package. I've fiddled with some changes, and - I would like to build a package WITHOUT commiting the code first (As I'm not sure this is the final patch). How do I do that? Or, how do I at-least test the code before commiting ? | 07:10 |
| Cyrax | the ubuntu i choosed is in the "Storage" | 07:11 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: then boot the vm | 07:12 |
| Cyrax | ok i did eboot.. but i know i will b in the terminal only | 07:13 |
| Cyrax | *reboot | 07:13 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: under display settings tick enable 3d accelleration and set the video ram to max | 07:15 |
| Cyrax | Video memory has a max of 128MB | 07:19 |

| === kroyeren_ is now known as kroyeren | ||
| Cyrax | Anything else i should do in the setting before i continue? | 07:21 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: nothing i can think of | 07:21 |
| Cyrax | What about monitor count? | 07:21 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: i never alter that | 07:21 |
| Cyrax | What about the options under Network? | 07:22 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: the defaults there have always worked fine | 07:22 |
| Cyrax | ok.. i try and see now | 07:22 |
| Cyrax | auronandace: is this anything that should b fixed? http://puu.sh/40QkR.png | 07:24 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: you can't do anything about that, just ignore it | 07:25 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: actually, can you show me a full screenshot of the vm please | 07:25 |
| Cyrax | it has a box to tick or not.. if i want to download updates under installation of ubuntu.. tick or not? | 07:26 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: you are at the installer? | 07:26 |
| Cyrax | before i continue,it has a option to tick if I want to download updates under the isntallation | 07:27 |
| Cyrax | *installation | 07:27 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: you are at the installer? | 07:27 |
| Cyrax | anyway.. here is what my vm looks like: http://puu.sh/40Qpy.png | 07:27 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: i didn't want that creen, i wanted a screenshot of the actual vm running | 07:28 |
| Cyrax | oh.. what if I made a small video while I do it.. woudl that help? | 07:28 |
| Cyrax | *would | 07:28 |

| ejv | Need help installing mysql on 12.04 LTS, this is embarassing that this is even happening frankly... : http://dpaste.com/1341424/ | 07:29 |
| Cyrax | sure | 07:29 |
| auronandace | ejv: in case nobody answers here there is also #ubuntu-server | 07:30 |
| Cyrax | auronandace: http://puu.sh/40Qzc.jpg | 07:32 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: so you are at the installer, everything seems to be working fine, i wanted a screenshot showing the little indicators on the bottom | 07:33 |
| Cyrax | auronandace: http://puu.sh/40QCc.jpg | 07:34 |
| ejv | thanks auronandace | 07:34 |
| ejv | this is... just... incredible that an update could trash people's db's like this lol | 07:35 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: thanks, as i thought, you see that v? that means your processor hasn't been enabled for virtualisation. you need to do that from the bios or however you do it via windows 8 | 07:35 |
| anonymous666 | can someone plz help | 07:35 |
| anonymous666 | someone help | 07:35 |
| anonymous666 | i need halp | 07:36 |
| Cyrax | do it on my actually computer windows 8? in bios? | 07:36 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: it is normally in the bios | 07:36 |
| anonymous666 | m8 help i need urgent help on my ubntu machin | 07:36 |
| Cyrax | i dont touch anything that might ruin my computer | 07:37 |
| anonymous666 | fck your issus i hve prblms of my own | 07:37 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: it won't ruin anything, it enables virtualisation support | 07:37 |
| anonymous666 | nbody cares. | 07:37 |
| anonymous666 | i need more help | 07:37 |
| Cyrax | i dont even know how, auronandace | 07:38 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: some vms require it, without it things can get rather slow (not good performance) | 07:38 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: you need to find out then | 07:38 |
| Cyrax | Cant I sue another vm that dont require it? | 07:38 |
| Cyrax | *use | 07:38 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: ubuntu doesn't require it but it is certainly better to have it enabled | 07:39 |
| Cyrax | i dont want to touch bios | 07:39 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: in that case you won't get the best performance from your vm | 07:40 |
| Cyrax | i used vm before and I never touched the bios before.. and it went fine at that time | 07:40 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: it can be better than fine but thats up to you | 07:41 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: i don't really see the point in not enabling it, if your processor supports it then why not have it on? | 07:42 |
| Cyrax | Cuz I dont want to risk in any chance to touch bios and it might ruin my computer.. i'm very careful touching things that IK think might ruin my computer | 07:42 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: it's an option that says "enabling virtuization support" or "enable VT support" - words to that effect, set it, or don't, it's up to you | 07:43 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: if you are very careful then you will understand exactly what you are doing, its just one setting that makes your cpu better suited to virtualisation (nothing can go wrong) | 07:43 |
| Cyrax | So where do i change it? idk how | 07:44 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: you look in your bios and change the setting from "no" to "yes" | 07:44 |
| Cyrax | i'll check it.. be back soon | 07:46 |
| === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest7452 | ||
| === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen | ||
| Cyrax | back.. and i checked bios.. can't see any option there | 07:53 |
| Cyrax | Not that kind of option | 07:54 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: maybe worth talking to the vendor about it | 07:54 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: asking them to confirm the right setting | 07:54 |
| Cyrax | its easier not to use ubuntu.. too bad i wanted to try ubuntu adn now ubuntu won't work for me | 07:54 |
| ikonia | unlucky then | 07:55 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: what do you mean it won't work? you were at the install screen | 07:55 |
| Cyrax | yes.. but i dont want only terminal | 07:55 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: is it still dropping to the terminal rather than starting X | 07:55 |
| Cyrax | i only get terminal.. thats all.. its jsut lime cmd | 07:55 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: is that after installing? | 07:56 |
| Cyrax | yes | 07:56 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: and we discussed this earlier, you need to check why X is not starting | 07:56 |
| ikonia | someone was helping you go through the error log earlier | 07:56 |
| Cyrax | Someone said something about Xorg | 07:56 |
| ikonia | yes, I told you X org was not starting, and someone was telling you how to look at the log | 07:56 |
| Cyrax | but it confused me | 07:56 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: yes, the error was the vboxvideo module was not being loaded as I recall | 07:57 |
| ikonia | it was looking for the device /dev/dri/card0 | 07:57 |
| coresnake | hi there, can anyone tell me if theres a way to login to launchpad with the username i used, not the email? | 07:58 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: you need to make sure you have enough video memory set in your virtual machine | 07:58 |
| coresnake | i cant remember the email and im trying to deactivate the account, i contacted support but they wouldnt help me | 07:58 |
| ikonia | coresnake: username = email | 07:58 |
| Cyrax | i did try sudo apt-get or whatever it is called and wrote update with it | 07:58 |
| coresnake | hmm | 07:58 |
| coresnake | but its only the first part of the email | 07:59 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: in virtual box make sure you set video to have 128mb (256mb if possible) of ram | 07:59 |
| Cyrax | i did max it | 07:59 |
| Cyrax | let me try it again | 07:59 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: what is it set to | 07:59 |
| failmaster | could someone help please to shed some light on why this configuration stopped working with freshly installed 13.04 http://askubuntu.com/questions/330660/what-is-the-correct-way-to-use-key-file-luks-authorization especially curious if we have /boot accessible at it's absolute path on corresponding to cryptsetup boot stage? | 07:59 |
| Cyrax | I was told to set Memory size to 2048 and file adn locaction size to 10GB | 08:00 |
| ffio | is it a good idea to have ldap and kerberos based authentication for NFS and samba for home use ? | 08:00 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: no, not memory, VIDEO CARD memory | 08:00 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: you also need to make sure you have the virtualbox guest extension installed on the host | 08:00 |
| Cyrax | i know.. but i have to set that first the Memory size and stuff ebfore i change the videomemory | 08:01 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: right, so set the video card memory, make sure you have the guest additions package installed on the host | 08:01 |
| Cyrax | Now I maxed video memory to 128 wich is max,memory size to 2048MB,file and location size to 10GB | 08:03 |
| Cyrax | and tick the box Enable 3D acceleration | 08:03 |
| Cyrax | Thats correct,isnt it? all that? | 08:04 |
| t-mo | hello, am I in the right place for some advice on ubuntu? | 08:05 |
| DJones | t-mo: You certainly are | 08:05 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: is the guest extensions package installed on the host | 08:05 |
| Cyrax | idk.. how i check it? | 08:05 |
| Cyrax | Wait | 08:06 |
| Cyrax | u mean install it from terminal? | 08:06 |
| ikonia | no... | 08:06 |
| Cyrax | then idk how to check it | 08:06 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: have you actually read how to set virtualbox up on windows 8 ? | 08:06 |
| Cyrax | no.. i just installed virtualbox | 08:06 |
| ejv | i know how to set it up on win8, next, next, next, finish. :D | 08:06 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: right, I suggest you actually read up how to set the host up, use ##windows and #virtualbox channels for windows and virtualbox help | 08:07 |
| Cyrax | How come I need that much jsut for ubuntu.. before i didnt even needed that much.. not that I can remember | 08:08 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: because it has hardware requirements | 08:08 |
| Cyrax | Where can i get that guest extansion pack? | 08:09 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: as I've just told you READ how to setup virtualbox on windows 8 - use the ##windows channel for windows help and #vbox for virtualbox help | 08:09 |
| t-mo | Good news. I have the following issue which I have tried to find a guide or solution for in forums etc. without success. I have successfully installed Ubuntu 13.04 on an intel iMac that was running OSX 10.6.8 I overwrote the old OSX and now it is a pure Ubuntu machine. I need to be able to boot this iMac into OSX again with a view to making it triple bootable (Win7, Ubuntu and OSX) There is m | 08:11 |
| ikonia | t-mo: you need to delete ubuntu and install macos X first | 08:11 |
| ejv | serious question, what is a guest extension pack? :) | 08:11 |
| santhosh | hai pls tell me how to installtion og ubuntu using lvm concept | 08:11 |
| DJones | t-mo: Your last message was cut off at "There is m" | 08:11 |
| ejv | i thought vbot packaged everything together in one nice build... | 08:11 |
| ejv | vbox* | 08:11 |
| ikonia | ejv: it allows the guests to interact with the host hardware directly, ad some extra features, | 08:11 |

| t-mo | I am quite clear on how to do this from OSX or Win7 but clueless about how to get osx back un my imac | 08:12 |
| santhosh | okj | 08:12 |
| ejv | yea i thought it did that by default, for example my i7 has intel VT-d; i hope it would simply "know" to take advantage of it, maybe i should take another look | 08:12 |
| ikonia | t-mo: you put the OSX disk in the mac, and boot from it and then install | 08:12 |
| ikonia | t-mo: the guys in ##macosX can help walk you through the install | 08:12 |
| === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away | ||
| ikonia | t-mo: sorry #macosx is the channel | 08:13 |
| t-mo | is there a trick to getting Ubuntu to recognise the osx install disk? I did try this path first, but ubuntu seems to ignore the dvd drive | 08:13 |
| santhosh | when i install ubuntu i get no lvms and np pvs how to nextend root and home size | 08:13 |
| ikonia | t-mo: it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 08:14 |
| ikonia | t-mo: you don't have ubuntu booted at that time | 08:14 |
| ikonia | t-mo: you hold down (I think) the letter C at boot time to get it to boot from cdrom | 08:14 |
| ikonia | t-mo: then you can install macos X - the guys in #macosx will explain in clearer detail | 08:14 |
| t-mo | sorry, but if i want to boot from cd in osx, I hold down a certain key combo. is there something similar here? | 08:14 |
| ikonia | t-mo: this is nothing to do with the OS | 08:15 |
| santhosh | when i install ubuntu i get no lvms and np pvs how to nextend root and home size | 08:15 |
| ikonia | t-mo: you hold down the keys BEFORE the OS boots | 08:15 |
| ikonia | santhosh: is your root on an LVM device ? | 08:15 |
| santhosh | no it is in pv partition | 08:15 |
| ikonia | santhosh: so you need to install it using LVM | 08:16 |
| santhosh | i don't know that one how to install lvm using root and home is there ant tools | 08:16 |

| t-mo | ikonia: getting ubuntu to recognise a cd/dvd seems germane to ubuntu, no? | 08:16 |
| ikonia | t-mo: you boot a cd BEFORE the OS, so ubuntu isn't even booted at that point, it's nothing to do with ubuntu | 08:17 |
| gsommer | I've used apt to install the source for a package. I've fiddled with some changes, and - I would like to build a package WITHOUT commiting the code first (As I'm not sure this is the final patch). How do I do that? Or, how do I at-least test the code before commiting ? | 08:17 |
| ikonia | t-mo: you are trying to re-install macos X correct ? | 08:17 |
| ikonia | gsommer: commit it to where ? | 08:17 |
| gsommer | ikonia: To the local source tree | 08:18 |
| ikonia | gsommer: what local source tree ? | 08:18 |
| caodepalha | I everyone can i get some help with the jack configuration? | 08:18 |
| ikonia | gsommer: you download the source - change it, build it | 08:18 |
| blazemore | caodepalha: Try asking in #ubuntu-studio | 08:18 |
| caodepalha | ok. i never get replys there but i'll try :/ | 08:19 |
| gsommer | ikonia: No, you use apt to get the source for the deb package. You make changes. You commit changes to the package structure. You compile and package it as a .deb package. | 08:19 |
| ikonia | gsommer: yes ? and.... | 08:19 |
| blazemore | caodepalha: Also, if you ask a more specific question you might get a reply | 08:19 |
| gsommer | What I would like to do, is to TEST my changes, before commiting to the local changelog - how do I do that? | 08:19 |
| ikonia | gsommer: there is no "commit" | 08:19 |
| ikonia | gsommer: the source is just text files | 08:19 |
| ikonia | gsommer: so you have to make changes to those text files | 08:19 |
| gsommer | ikonia: Yes there is... Read the documentation regarding .deb packages.. | 08:20 |
| ikonia | gsommer: ha ha ha ha, no there really isn't | 08:20 |
| t-mo | ikonia, your advice "you put the OSX disk in the mac, and boot from it and then install" would be more helpful if you could explain how to boot from said disk | 08:20 |
| gsommer | ikonia: Go read: http://pascal.nextrem.ch/2010/05/06/build-ubuntudebian-packages-from-source-and-apply-a-patch/ | 08:20 |
| blazemore | gsommer: Sorry I think you're misunderstanding something | 08:20 |
| gsommer | blazemore: read: http://pascal.nextrem.ch/2010/05/06/build-ubuntudebian-packages-from-source-and-apply-a-patch/ | 08:20 |
| ikonia | gsommer: I'm well aware of how to do it | 08:20 |
| blazemore | t-mo: That's a hardware issue really. I don't know how you boot your computer from a CD, and it's certainly nothing to do with ubuntu | 08:20 |
| ikonia | t-mo: as I've said the guys in #macosx can tell you the correct sequence to boot a cD | 08:20 |
| ejv | i don't read anything that ends in .ch, scary ^_^ | 08:20 |
| gsommer | ikonia: Ok, then what does dpkg-source --commit do? It's _NEEDED_ before you can do a dpkg-buildpackage | 08:21 |
| caodepalha | I just need to know what values to put in the jack setup so i can get sound from my guitar | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | gsommer: all I can find is building binaries from deb source packages :( | 08:21 |
| ikonia | gsommer: I don't think you understand the process yet | 08:21 |
| t-mo | ok thank you | 08:21 |
| ActionParsnip | gsommer: you could download the source deb again, extract it to a location and compare the 2, if the file is different you could archive it | 08:21 |
| gsommer | ikonia: Uhhm, to be honest - I'm quire sure you don't have a clue... | 08:21 |
| blazemore | gsommer: Sorry but you're wrong here | 08:22 |
| sargennto | Hello all. I am having problems installing proprietary video drivers. If I run lspci command it tells me I have 'ATI Device 9900'. So I should be able to use the fgrlx drivers correct? When I reboot it tells me a screen cannot be found and Xserver will not start? Any clue? | 08:22 |
| ikonia | gsommer: no problem then, I'll leave you to wander blind | 08:22 |
| gsommer | blazemore: Ok, explain the procedure then | 08:22 |
| blazemore | gsommer: Build the software using ./configure; make or whatever | 08:22 |
| ActionParsnip | sargennto: can you give the output of: sudo lshw -C display; lsb_release -a; uname -a please use a pastebin to hold the text. | 08:22 |
| gsommer | ikonia: Explain "dpkg-source --commit" please - which is needed before packing it up | 08:22 |
| ikonia | gsommer: I don't have a clue, just carry on | 08:23 |
| gsommer | blazemore: No, not if you want to use the specifik ubuntu/debian packages. You need to use the builtin compiling routines | 08:23 |
| blazemore | :3 | 08:23 |
| ikonia | you've told me I don't have a clue. | 08:23 |
| gsommer | I want to use dpkg-buildpackage to build my testing debian package, but - I do not want my changes in my local changelog, as it might not be the final changes. How do I do that ? | 08:24 |
| blazemore | dpkg-buildpackage | 08:24 |
| ikonia | gsommer: is this on ubuntu or debian ? | 08:24 |
| gsommer | blazemore: Yes, that requires you to commit your changes BEFORE packing it up | 08:24 |
| gsommer | ikonia: Ubuntu | 08:24 |

| gsommer | I need to test my changes on another machine - therefor packing it up as a .deb package is the easiest way. | 08:25 |
| gsommer | It's quite easy with dpkg-buildpackage - which ensures the Ubuntu specific compiling routines are used. And the package is made in the exact same way as the original. | 08:26 |
| gsommer | But - if changes are made to the tree (local), dpkg-source --commit is needed to correctly adjust the buildin changelog in the .deb packages - and to split up a patch compared to the original provided source. | 08:27 |
| sargennto | ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/sdLb8v9H | 08:27 |
| gsommer | Now, I would like to skip the part about adding a entry in the changelog - and just go ahead and build a non-version controlled .deb package. | 08:27 |
| gsommer | How do I do that ? | 08:27 |

| gsommer | I basecly want to-write https://mail.gnome.org/archives/commits-list/2012-August/msg06922.html as it's done in a wrong one-way binding... But, a little testing might be needed... | 08:28 |
| ActionParsnip | sargennto: so its an ATI Radeon 9900 ? | 08:30 |
| ActionParsnip | sargennto: do you know what ATI GPU it is? | 08:32 |
| ejv | gsommer: i'd make a post on ubuntuforums personally | 08:33 |
| ejv | probably have better luck there, as it's sorta development related | 08:33 |
| gsommer | ejv: Yeah, you might be right... There's a lot of documentation about creating new packages. But, the documentation I've found regarding making changes to existing package - required the changes to be 100% correct the first time... The documentation lacks a section regarding just testing changes... :/ | 08:35 |

| sargennto | okay iim back. got dc/d | 08:39 |
| sargennto | ActionParsnip: I think a problem could be that lspci says I have a different video card than I actually do | 08:39 |

| Cyrax | ikonia: it was u who mentioned about something in the bios and enable something? i forgot | 08:48 |
| auronandace | Cyrax: virtualisation support | 08:49 |
| sahil | ? | 08:50 |
| cai__ | ? | 08:50 |
| Cyrax | well.. i think i found it,but i have to know if its correct.. I checked bios by pressing F2.. and under Advanced->CPU configuration i saw something called Intel Virtualization Technology | 08:50 |

| === eddie is now known as Guest26446 | ||
| sahil | i mean free from regression and other compatibility issues | 08:57 |
| auronandace | sahil: the only supported kernels are those available in the default repos | 08:58 |
| sahil | <auronandace> you mean the mainlne kernals? | 08:59 |
| mar77i | so... networkmanager keeps connecting to an inexistent network | 08:59 |
| sahil | mainline* | 08:59 |
| mar77i | how can I make it actually look for dhcp beyond setting ifupdown/managed=true | 08:59 |
| ActionParsnip | sargennto: then the proprietary video driver should work | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | !ati | sargennto | 09:00 |
| ubottu | sargennto: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 09:00 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: you can install it but it will not be supported here if you get issues | 09:01 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: some drivers which are present in your current kernel may not be in the 3.9 kernel. We have no way of knowing as the kernel is not from the Ubuntu repos | 09:02 |
| ActionParsnip | mar77i: sudo dhclient3 eth0 | 09:02 |
| mar77i | no | 09:02 |
| mar77i | ActionParsnip: the customer will not want ot type that into a terminal. | 09:03 |
| Cyrax | Now since i enabled it,lets see if it works now.. but i bet it won't | 09:03 |
| mar77i | hmm. so if nm doesn't look for ifupdown config, should I enable ifupdown or some other network service in upstart? | 09:03 |
| ActionParsnip | mar77i: why not? | 09:03 |
| mar77i | because the customer doesn't use the terminal. | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mar77i: it will make the interface re-request DHCP.... | 09:04 |
| Cyrax | Should i tick the box or not for downloading update while installing? | 09:04 |
| sahil | <ActionParsnip> i see... | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mar77i: its a simple command. Why don't they use terminal? | 09:04 |
| mar77i | ActionParsnip: because my boss told me so | 09:04 |
| blazemore | mar77i: Make a script and send it to them so they can double-click it | 09:04 |
| ActionParsnip | mar77i: then your boss is a fool | 09:04 |
| mar77i | stop it | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mar77i: could use nm-applet to disable wired networking then re-enable wired networking | 09:05 |
| mar77i | it's actually one click to make the ifupdown config run in nm-applet | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mar77i: terminal is one of the most powerful tools in Linux | 09:05 |
| blazemore | mar77i: You've been given the answer tbh, it's up to you if you have weird political barriers between you and it | 09:05 |
| mar77i | i know | 09:05 |
| ActionParsnip | mar77i: i suggest you educaate him | 09:05 |
| mar77i | lol | 09:06 |
| sahil | <ActionParsnip> version 3.8 is available for ubuntu 13.04.... should i try that? | 09:06 |
| Cyrax | Should i tick the box for download updates while installing? | 09:06 |
| blazemore | Cyrax: Do you want to download updates while installing? | 09:06 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: up to you, but again, in ths channel we can only support the kernel for your release form the official epos | 09:07 |
| Cyrax | idk.. but is it recommended to tick the box? | 09:07 |
| mar77i | my question was why nm didn't look for the config it is given and end up with an ip in 192.168.0 range. it's one click to fix that, but I want to set it up right and save people that click every boot | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: why do you want to install a different kernel? Is the one you have now not running all your hardware? | 09:07 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyrax: I don't suggest installing updates at install time. Just get the OS in. We can do updates on first boot | 09:08 |
| Cyrax | ok,thanks | 09:08 |

| sahil | <ActionParsnip> okey...i somewhere head that a newer kernal is going to be back ported to ubuntu 12.04 and might be released in august 22... so that will be "official" right? and it will be supported? | 09:08 |
| sahil | heard* | 09:08 |
| ikonia | sahil: why do you want a new kernel ? | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: you can get the 3.5 kernel in Precise if you want | 09:09 |
| ikonia | this crazy obsession with people wanting kernels for no reason is just sily | 09:09 |
| ikonia | silly even | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: again, why do you want a new kernel? | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | ikonia: very silly | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: is all your hardware working ok? | 09:09 |
| k1l | sahil: you can get the 3.8 kernel in 12.04 | 09:09 |
| blazemore | ikonia: But 3.9 is 0.1 better than 3.8... | 09:09 |
| ikonia | it's just crazy | 09:09 |
| k1l | sahil: just read about the kernel enablement stack | 09:09 |
| ActionParsnip | blazemore: sadlym that is how ignorant people see it | 09:10 |
| ikonia | it's kicked off recently as a trend | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | blazemore: later == better :( | 09:10 |
| Cyrax | in the bottom right corner there r some symbols.. someone were talking about a v symbol.. | 09:10 |
| ejv | if you're so concerned about 3.9, download it, compile it, run it. | 09:10 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: is all the stuff in your OS working as it should? yes or no? | 09:10 |
| sahil | <ikonia><ActionParsnip> after following phoronix for sometime lately i did see last few kernals has got quite an attention from graphics card vendors and kernals got quite a many patches from them...i believe perhaps that might link to performance improvement as i do play games via wine | 09:11 |
| Cyrax | And the symbol V at the bottom right of virtualbox.. does that mean Virtualization? | 09:11 |
| ejv | sahil: there's a distribution called gentoo, where you can have all that bleeding edge kernel goodness | 09:11 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: do the games run ok? | 09:11 |
| blazemore | sahil: or Arch | 09:11 |
| Itson | quit | 09:12 |
| ActionParsnip | ejv: oh thats all kinds of fun to install :) | 09:12 |
| ikonia | sahil: I'm sorry but unless there is something in the release notes that say "fixes performance problem for X" or "fixes problem with Y hardware" then it's not going to make a difference | 09:12 |
| ejv | ActionParsnip: takes like 15 minutes if you're experienced and have good hardware :) | 09:12 |
| ejv | in fact, there's a 3.10.6 gentoo-source available, all for you sahil | 09:12 |
| blazemore | Speak of the devil | 09:12 |
| sahil | <ActionParsnip> some do 3 out of 10 lol...still i feel proud when i some1 sees me "playin" windows game in linux | 09:12 |
| ikonia | sahil: feel proud ?? why | 09:13 |
| ikonia | sahil: play windows games in widows if you want supportability/stability | 09:13 |
| ikonia | wine is not a dependable solution | 09:13 |
| ikonia | it's a moving taget that is outside the control of most things | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | ejv: oh yeah but first time Gentoo install with the handbook on another system, takes a good while | 09:13 |
| sahil | <ejv>...ubuntu has its own charms...i did use sabayon in yesteryers...but don geentoo | 09:13 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: could try the xorg edgers update PPA (less fresh, more stable) | 09:13 |
| Cyrax | If there us a V symbol at the bottom right of the virtualbox.. What does that mean? sorry for asking so much | 09:14 |

| ikonia | he's running the host on windows 2008 - and an ubuntu guest | 09:28 |
| Cyrax | how do i get it and how to i install it | 09:28 |
| [Gentoo] | you dont need the guest additions to get x in vbox | 09:28 |
| ActionParsnip | sargennto: did you run the command to generate xorg.conf as per the !ati how-to? | 09:28 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: #vbox is the channel to explain how to setup virtal box | 09:29 |
| failmaster | Cyrax, look through official documentation of virtualbox to find out, it's really easy to reach | 09:29 |
| ikonia | Cyrax: you're running it on a windows host - you need to first set the host up correctly. | 09:29 |
| [Gentoo] | sargennto: yes it sounds like xorg.conf isnt configured, proprietary drivers normally need one generated | 09:29 |
| ikonia | [Gentoo]: it's not that he's missing the video card device and the kernel module needed. | 09:29 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyrax: try the boot option: nomodeset | 09:30 |
| failmaster | sargennto, `cat /var/log/Xorg*.log|grep EE` and bring it here via pastebin | 09:30 |

| ActionParsnip | Cyrax: as ikonia says, you may have to install the guest additions in that terminal. If you use the menu at the top of the session, you can kick off the download. Then set the ISO to mount at boot and run the installer | 09:31 |

| Cyrax | o.o | 09:41 |
| heresjohnny | your mum | 09:41 |
| Cyrax | like they said i need this guest thing.., and i asked where i could download or isntall it | 09:42 |
| Cyrax | thats all | 09:42 |
| blazemore | Cyrax: Did the instructions in the documentation not work? | 09:42 |
| ActionParsnip | Cyrax: the screenshot I gave will pull it down | 09:43 |
| Cyrax | I know now where.. problem is i got this when i clicked it: http://puu.sh/40TNg.png | 09:43 |
| blazemore | Cyrax: That's completely unrelated issue to Ubuntu, you're having problems with Virtualbox on Windows | 09:43 |
| CountryfiedLinux | Is there any functional difference between Ubuntu LTS and Debian Testing other than Ubuntu branded software? | 09:44 |
| blazemore | CountryfiedLinux: Different repositories, package versions | 09:44 |
| sargennto | Well that seems to have fixed it. I know this might not be able to be something you guys can help with. But when I had a fresh install of ubuntu I could run the guild wars 2 installer via wine. But ever since I switched drivers back and forth it tells me I do not meet system requirements when trying to open the GW2 installer. fglrx is currently installed and I am still getting that message and I did not on a fresh install | 09:44 |
| blazemore | CountryfiedLinux: Different kernel configs, so different hardware support | 09:44 |
| k1l | CountryfiedLinux: there is alot. starting by kernel patches and going to different packages | 09:45 |
| CountryfiedLinux | blazemore: So there's actual improvements made by canonical? | 09:45 |
| CountryfiedLinux | blazemore: I had the impression they just put it out there with some branded software added. | 09:45 |
| blazemore | CountryfiedLinux: Not since 2005 | 09:45 |

| ubottu | if you want to chat about it: #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! | 09:46 |
| CountryfiedLinux | blazemore: So a user would be better off using Ubuntu LTS rather than Debian Testing then. | 09:46 |
| blazemore | CountryfiedLinux: Well that's a matter of opinion really | 09:46 |
| blazemore | CountryfiedLinux: In my opinion, yes, and we use Ubuntu LTS at work | 09:47 |
| CountryfiedLinux | blazemore: What about a matter of stability? | 09:47 |
| k1l | CountryfiedLinux: you know the purpose of debian testing? and the purpose of ubuntu LTS? | 09:47 |

| CountryfiedLinux | blazemore: Oh ok cool. I know at Satellite Med here in town they have Ubuntu on their PCs that patients sign in on. You can't usually tell but when its woken up from suspend or sleep whatever it is, you can see the Ubuntu logo splash come up. Other than that the web browser is in fullscreen so you can't really see anything besides the web page. | 09:48 |
| CountryfiedLinux | k11 Kinda, I just didn't realize there were actual improvements made to Testing from the Canonical side. | 09:49 |

| Cyrax | i jsut want to thank you all for trying to help me.. | 09:52 |
| sahil | os:ubuntu 12.04 | 09:52 |
| blazemore | sahil: You could install Windows in Virtualbox, which will support your scanner | 09:52 |
| blazemore | Skizu: It's now on 5.5 and also includes Apache 2.4 update | 09:53 |
| sahil | okey thnx... | 09:53 |

| Skizu | blazemore even better thanks | 09:54 |
| blazemore | Good sargennto :) | 09:54 |
| [Gentoo] | sargennto: what did you end up doing? installing fglrx and doing xorg.conf? | 09:54 |
| ActionParsnip | sahil: possibly, usb access from vbox is pretty decent. Seems the model is not supported by sane | 09:54 |
| sargennto | [Gentoo]: yeah installing fglrx and then runing the aticonfig --initial | 09:55 |
| [Gentoo] | ok | 09:55 |
| sargennto | thanks again :) | 09:56 |

| blazemore | Skizu: Yes, I use it | 09:57 |
| k1l | !lamp | Skizu | 09:57 |
| ubottu | Skizu: LAMP is an acronym for Linux-Apache-MySQL-PHP. However, the term is often used for setups using alternative but different software, such as Perl or Python instead of PHP, and Postgres instead of MySQL. For help with setting up LAMP on Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ApacheMySQLPHP - See also the Server CD installation process. | 09:57 |
| sahil | <ActionParsnip> 5 months back it wasnt added..will check again though | 09:57 |
| cowbacon | Skizu: as good as any other :) but if you plan on just using it as a server and not a desktop i'd recommend the server edition so you won't waste resources on things you dont need, like a WM/DE, sound etc | 09:57 |

| dragoonis | I have a working bash script, i just reinstalled ubuntu fresh and I'm running the script and getting errors. | 10:22 |
| dragoonis | This line: "if [[ $1 == "main" ]]; then" | 10:22 |
| dragoonis | Gives this error when the file is executed: "./minify.sh: 5: ./minify.sh: [[: not found" | 10:23 |
| dragoonis | Help ? | 10:23 |
| jrib | dragoonis: what's the first line of your script and how are you running it? | 10:23 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: if you run: ls do you see the file? | 10:24 |
| dragoonis | jrib, "./minify.sh main" and the first line is: "#!/bin/sh" | 10:24 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: can you pastebin the script please | 10:25 |
| jrib | dragoonis: change "sh" to "bash" | 10:25 |
| jrib | dragoonis: you have a bash script, not an sh script | 10:25 |
| ActionParsnip | jrib: nice catch | 10:25 |
| Skizu | So got a static ip and now trying to connect, it's hanging on waiting for a welcome message | 10:26 |
| Skizu | So do I have to enable FTP? | 10:26 |
| santhosh | <Skizu>? | 10:26 |
| santhosh | the iphave in metworking only | 10:27 |
| dragoonis | jrib, ok that fixed those errors. | 10:27 |
| blazemore | Skizu: You should use SFTP not FTP; install the package openssh-server | 10:27 |
| Skizu | Ahhh I did, just selected the wrong thing | 10:27 |
| Skizu | And I'm in :) thanks blazemore | 10:27 |
| santhosh | ok | 10:27 |
| Akishona | skizu: you are trying to transfer some files from a linux machine to a windows machine using winscp. what protocol do you use ? | 10:28 |
| dragoonis | jrib, ActionParsnip there's something else.. I'm running some script I got online and it's outputting this at the end of the line | 10:28 |
| dragoonis | ERROR_DISPLAY="\t\033[31;40m\033[1m[error]\033[0m" | 10:28 |
| sinkensabe | how can keybind centering of windows? | 10:28 |
| dragoonis | but when it outputs it doesn't output any control characters, but instead just outputs the above characters literally. | 10:28 |
| dragoonis | i.e: \t does not become a tab. | 10:29 |
| Skizu | From a windows machine to a linux :) | 10:29 |
| jrib | dragoonis: what does this script do? | 10:29 |
| dragoonis | minify_recursive.sh | 10:29 |
| jrib | dragoonis: that doesn't mean anything to me | 10:29 |
| dragoonis | jrib, it recursively goes through <path> and minifies CSS and JS files using yuicompressor | 10:30 |
| dragoonis | The script is doing this. | 10:30 |
| dragoonis | echo "Error: Failed to create $1 directory. $ERROR_DISPLAY" | 10:31 |
| jrib | dragoonis: pastebin the script | 10:31 |
| dragoonis | except $ERROR_DISPLAY is not being evaluated, just outputted literally | 10:31 |
| dragoonis | jrib, i figured it out, it's just color codes stuff. | 10:32 |
| jrib | dragoonis: ok | 10:33 |
| dragoonis | but my terminal is not accepting it.. but "ls --color=auto" shows me fancy colors | 10:33 |
| dragoonis | so I wonder why it doesn't work here. | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: run: source ~/.bashrc | 10:33 |
| dragoonis | ActionParsnip, no output to STDOUT | 10:33 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: thats fine, means it worked | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: try now | 10:34 |
| dragoonis | k | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: no news is good news in Linux | 10:34 |
| dragoonis | ActionParsnip, nope, still no color output | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: is the alias in your ~/.bashrc | 10:34 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 10:34 |
| dragoonis | Minifying all css files recursively in /home/paul/www/dev.site.com/bin/../_build/main/css \t\033[1;32;40m\033[1m[ok]\033[0m | 10:35 |
| dragoonis | the end output is supposed to be [ok], with green colors | 10:35 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 10:37 |
| dragoonis | ActionParsnip, Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS \n \l | 10:38 |
| dragoonis | looks like it's not evaluating \n either? :) | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: hats normal in the issue file :) | 10:38 |
| ActionParsnip | dragoonis: if you add the alias in ~/.bashrc then run the source command again it should apply | 10:39 |

| thinclient | cfhowlett: That would be nice, but my thinclient is old via chipset 400mhz cpu and 108mb ram. Newer versions of ubuntu are incompatible with my video chipset. That's why I want to boot the old ubuntu dapper 6 | 10:55 |
| Dr_Willis | thinclient: turn off/disable/remove the GDM login manager, is another way perhaps. | 10:55 |
| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: every port is blocked from outside because i have NAT | 10:56 |
| Dr_Willis | thinclient: for that low end a machine - you may want to look into puppylinux legacy edition. or some of the other legacy hardware disrtos out there. | 10:56 |
| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: so i have to open them localy and establish a connection | 10:56 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot_: i think you are bring far too cautious for not much gain | 10:56 |
| hayer | iceroot_: nat.. blocking.. what.. | 10:56 |
| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: its just "dont use non free software which is sending important data through us servers" | 10:57 |
| Dr_Willis | that means he actualy has somthing to hide! :) | 10:57 |
| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: nothing wrong with that advice | 10:57 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot_: like email from Outlook which flows through servers.....right? | 10:57 |

| Dr_Willis | hayer: i got it even better.. make dvd videos that you cant actually play in legal players! that way you cant even pirate them or play them legally! | 10:58 |
| hayer | "War against piracy" == "War against privacy" | 10:58 |
| hayer | Dr_Willis: That actually made sens :3 | 10:58 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot_: you do realise nsa was formed in 1952...? | 10:59 |
| Dr_Willis | hayer: Legally Bought 'Love Boat Season 1' for the wife (i know its a HEAVLY in demand by pirates) - it wont play in her dvd player. ;P | 10:59 |
| DJones | Maybe getting a bit too far off topic now | 10:59 |
| ActionParsnip | iceroot_: so the last few years blocking them is outweighed by the data they may or may not have gathered in previous years | 10:59 |
| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: and what is wrong about thinking about my privacy? | 11:00 |
| synth_ | Ok, here's the thing, I installed Ubunt 12.04 on my laptop, an HP G42-476TX. The problem is I do not get any display on my LCD on my laptop but if I connect it to an external monitor it works, and another problem is, when I;m on grub, and select the first option for the OS Boot, it freezes on the Ubuntu loading screen, whawt I do is I navigate to the previous versions in grub and select the first one there and the display problem still persists but I can bo | 11:00 |

| hayer | ActionParsnip: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Privacy | 11:01 |
| Dr_Willis | synth_: you mean the fglrx or the open sourced drivers? | 11:01 |
| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: i have important customer data on my pc (we are working for the iran) | 11:01 |
| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: and the customer is afraid | 11:01 |

| === Argh is now known as HAwiese | ||
| andip | anyone wanna answer my question instead of telling me what to do and not? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | andip: if you disable 'sudo stuff' you will have issues | 11:03 |
| synth_ | Can I paste what the terminal said in here? | 11:03 |
| ActionParsnip | synth_: use http://pastie.org | 11:03 |
| k1l | synth_: use a pastebin | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | andip: and if you want to ask us how to badly break your system... | 11:03 |
| Dr_Willis | !sudo | 11:03 |
| ubottu | sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo | 11:03 |
| synth_ | pl | 11:03 |
| synth_ | olrayt hold on | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | andip: : sudo su will give you a root console, you can also better control whom can access it with the sudo group | 11:04 |
| synth_ | http://pastie.org/8232367 | 11:04 |
| Dr_Willis | 'sudo -s' ;) or 'sudo -i' for a root shell. | 11:04 |
| ActionParsnip | andip: a lot of Ubuntu is geared around the use of sudo, so its not a good idea | 11:04 |
| synth_ | i have no idea what this means | 11:04 |
| nastas | andip: can you explain why you want to use su? | 11:05 |
| ActionParsnip | synth_: the driver is not loader | 11:05 |
| synth_ | I'm using my laptop now, its jsut that its connected to an external monitor | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | Biggest danger to a ubuntu box i see in this channel (and forums) are the end users doing weird things that they dont understand. | 11:05 |
| synth_ | I'm sorry what? It's not loaded? | 11:05 |
| synth_ | what do you mean is not loader? | 11:05 |
| Dr_Willis | synth_: the system will default to the open sourced ati driver, unless you install the fglrx driver. and not all cards are supported by the fglrx driver. | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | synth_: you installed the fglrx driver, right? | 11:06 |
| Mathisen | andip: passwd root | 11:06 |
| Mathisen | then su | 11:06 |
| synth__ | disconnected im sorryu | 11:06 |
| auronandace | !noroot | Mathisen | 11:06 |
| ubottu | Mathisen: We do not support setting a root password. You're free to do it on your own machine, but please don't offer instructions on how to set a root password or ask for help with setting it. See !root and !wfm for more information. | 11:06 |
| ActionParsnip | Mathisen: please dont | 11:06 |
| andip | ah. thanks Mathisen, should've thought of that myself | 11:06 |
| synth__ | i got disconnected | 11:07 |
| synth__ | anyways | 11:07 |
| synth__ | i dont think so | 11:07 |
| synth__ | how can i check if i installed the flgrx? | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | synth_: then install it and it will work | 11:07 |
| MonkeyDust | Mathisen please don't tell people how to ruin their system | 11:07 |
| * Mathisen hides under a rock | 11:07 | |
| synth__ | how can I knnow first if it is indeed installed | 11:07 |
| ActionParsnip | synth_: dpkg -l | grep -i fglrx | 11:08 |
| Dr_Willis | synth__: run software-properties-gtk and look in the last tab. and see what drivers it suggests | 11:08 |
| andip | do you always assume people in here will break their system if they dosomething not advised by ubuntu? | 11:08 |
| === HAwiese is now known as Argh | ||
| iceroot_ | andip: when it comes to sudo/su, yes | 11:08 |
| Dr_Willis | andip: yes. | 11:09 |
| andip | ah, kindergarten | 11:09 |
| Dr_Willis | Biggest danger to a ubuntu box i see in this channel (and forums) are the end users doing weird things that they dont understand. | 11:09 |
| iceroot_ | andip: its just a matter of time until they will break the system when using sudo/su | 11:09 |
| synth__ | http://pastie.org/8232376 | 11:09 |
| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: trust us, we are doing the support here since some years | 11:09 |

| iceroot_ | ActionParsnip: wrong nick, sorry | 11:09 |
| synth__ | Dr_Willis how can I run that? | 11:10 |
| Dr_Willis | synth__: this? software-properties-gtk .. type it in a terminal | 11:10 |
| synth__ | ok one sec | 11:11 |
| Mathisen | personaly i think, Let them break the system you learn by doing mistakes, and you learn pretty mutch by problem solving to if they mess something upp | 11:11 |
| synth__ | and look at the last tab? | 11:11 |
| synth__ | statistics? | 11:11 |
| ActionParsnip | synth_: try: sudo aticonfig --initial | 11:11 |
| Dr_Willis | last tab here is 'addational drivers' | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Mathisen: yes but they come in here and we have to dig them out of something so easily avaoidable because "they know better" | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | synth__: what ubuntu release are you using? | 11:12 |
| ActionParsnip | Mathisen: so if you teach them best practice then it avoids issues | 11:12 |
| auronandace | Mathisen: it is better to learn from other peoples mistakes, i don't need to put my own hand in a fire to know it will burn | 11:12 |
| synth__ | 12.04 LTS | 11:12 |
| Dr_Willis | Teaching proper Habbits/procedures is easier then unlearning Bad habbits. ;) | 11:12 |
| synth__ | pastie.org/8232384 | 11:13 |
| Dr_Willis | synth__: look in the menus for an 'Addational drivers' tool perhaps. | 11:13 |
| synth__ | Ok, I knew that before and installed the ATI ones | 11:13 |
| synth__ | BUT | 11:13 |
| synth__ | after I installed that | 11:13 |

| helmut_ | hi | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | 'wont boot' is very very differnt from 'boots up to a black screen with a flashing cursor' ;) | 11:14 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi is it possible to play a blueray that have a BD+protection from the blueray driver on ubuntu ? | 11:14 |
| Dr_Willis | synth__: so you DO have the fglrx drivers instralled and the sytem is not booting ot the login screen? or what exactly | 11:14 |
| synth__ | Ok, so I installed the ATI drivers on the "Additional Drivers" and after that it did not display on my laptop lcd and it freezes on the ubuntu logo | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | troulouliou_dev: not withut some extra work i belive | 11:15 |
| Dr_Willis | !blueray | 11:15 |

| troulouliou_dev | Dr_Willis, so the only solutio is to rip it ??? | 11:15 |
| synth__ | What I did to boot up was, select the "Previous versions" option in GRUB and selected the first one there, and then bam it loads normally but still no display on screen | 11:15 |
| nastas | synth__: why don't you simply uninstall ati drivers? | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | troulouliou_dev: no idea. I have all of like 2 blueray disks.. i basically refuse to buy movies any more. Total boycott of the movie indusrty! | 11:16 |
| troulouliou_dev | Dr_Willis, :) ok fait enough | 11:16 |
| Dr_Willis | troulouliou_dev: i recall seeing guides on getting blueray movies working. | 11:16 |

| synth__ | Hold on not yet | 11:17 |
| nastas | synth__: i had issues with my ATI drivers for the last 2 releases | 11:18 |
| synth__ | But the thing I do not get is | 11:18 |
| synth__ | Why exactly doesn't show up on my laptop screen but shows fine on my external monitor via VGA? | 11:18 |
| troulouliou_dev | Dr_Willis, yes but with standard protection it seems and by downloading a key .. | 11:19 |
| nastas | synth__: did you try without external monitor? | 11:19 |
| synth__ | Yes, it doesnt show anything on my LCD | 11:19 |

| synth__ | And the fact that I cannot boot properly on the regular GRUB selection and I still need to go to the "Previous Versions" Page and select the first one there | 11:21 |
| Llucid | I cannot recall the line to find -name ".db" -delete for .Skype | 11:21 |
| Llucid | Someone help me order that correctly, please? | 11:21 |

| synth__ | Yes | 11:22 |
| Llucid | Anyone? In a rush to do this.. | 11:22 |
| nastas | synth__: ok. use your cable and start ubuntu in recovery option in grub | 11:23 |
| synth__ | Ok and then what? | 11:23 |
| jrib | Llucid: no idea what "this" is, but I suggest you start with: find ~/.Skype -name '*.db' | 11:23 |
| Llucid | Thats it, Thank you | 11:23 |
| synth__ | I wanna know what to do because i'm using the same system. | 11:23 |
| nastas | synth__: then a list will pop up and you have to configure network (with cable will happen automatic) | 11:24 |
| synth__ | Ok and then what? | 11:24 |
| nastas | synth__: then you will use the terminal option | 11:24 |
| synth__ | can we talk in PM? | 11:25 |

| marinel | i don't even have /etc/X11/<any_xorg.conf file> O.o, but still i can run this GUI. Only 3d acceleration is missing. | 12:27 |
| iceroot_ | marinel: its normal that the file is missing by default | 12:27 |
| marinel | iceroot_, ok | 12:28 |
| iceroot_ | marinel: only if you want to overwrite the udev-detection you have to create a xorg.conf | 12:28 |
| marinel | iceroot_, maybe i could make own xorg.conf? would that help me to get 3d acceleration. I don't want to give up with this ATI RV350 | 12:29 |
| iceroot_ | marinel: that is what normally the ati driver should do, create that file | 12:30 |
| iceroot_ | !ati | marinel | 12:30 |
| ubottu | marinel: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto | 12:30 |

| shafox | How can i set up my airtel 4g lte dongol in my linux mint 15 mate ?? | 12:34 |
| blazemore | !mint | shafox | 12:34 |
| ubottu | shafox: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org | 12:34 |
| cfhowlett | shafox, ask the mint folks | 12:34 |
| === blazemore is now known as blazemore_hat | ||
| shafox | cfhowlett: && blazemore linux mint is basically port of ubuntu 13.04 so i guess the solution would work hence asked here also | 12:35 |
| digi00 | Is there any good (UPDATED) guide for sharing the printer connected to my kubuntu-desktop so that others windows PCs on the network can use itÖ | 12:35 |
| digi00 | ? | 12:35 |
| iceroot_ | !cups | digi00 | 12:36 |
| ubottu | digi00: 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 | 12:36 |
| cfhowlett | shafox, correct but ... linux-mint provides mint support because they're the experts. | 12:36 |
| DJones | shafox: Mint has its own support networks, this channel only supports the official Ubuntu releases | 12:36 |
| blazemore_hat | !kubuntu | digi00 | 12:36 |
| ubottu | digi00: Kubuntu is the Ubuntu flavour using KDE Software and the KDE Plasma Workspaces. See http://kubuntu.org for more information - For support join #kubuntu - See also !kde | 12:36 |
| shafox | cfhowlett: thanks | 12:36 |

| hans_ | hi | 12:37 |
| robin0800 | marinel: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/ATI | 12:37 |
| hans_ | i am stuck with VMwareplayer | 12:37 |
| blazemore_hat | !details | hans_ | 12:38 |
| ubottu | hans_: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." | 12:38 |
| hans_ | yesterday it worked fine, ubuntu updated and now it asks for ¨several modules must be compiled and loaded into the running kernel¨ | 12:38 |
| blazemore_hat | hans_: sudo vmware-modconfig --console --install-all | 12:39 |
| hans_ | it shows also 2 buttons INSTALL and cancel but there is no action when the install is pressed | 12:39 |
| Luzbelito | blazemore> No system tray detected on this system. Exiting. | 12:39 |
| marinel | robin0800, i did that. After 6 sudo aticonfig --initial i came here to show the error :/ | 12:39 |
| ActionParsnip | digi00: CUPS can do that by default, just needs config. Or share with Samba | 12:40 |
| blazemore_hat | Luzbelito: Can you run the command gnome-session-properties | 12:41 |
| blazemore_hat | Luzbelito: In the window that appears there will be an entry with "hplip" in it somewhere - maybe similar to "sh -c "sleep 15; exec hp-systray"" | 12:41 |
| blazemore_hat | Luzbelito: Change it to sh -c "sleep 45; exec hp-systray" | 12:42 |
| blazemore_hat | or remove that entry entirely | 12:42 |
| marinel | robin0800, but part 4. Enabling Video Hardware Acceleration is interesting. Hmm can i try to install binary driver from site? I understand now that my gpu is too old :D | 12:42 |
| hans_ | ok | 12:42 |
| guest258415 | hi | 12:43 |
| Luzbelito | could I do it opening terminal from here? I'm usinf enlightenment | 12:43 |
| melas123 | hey | 12:43 |
| hans_ | thanks!!! | 12:43 |
| guest258415 | i am trying to install ubuntu on my laptop, the problem is that the touchpad is not working in live session, how can i fix it? | 12:44 |
| robin0800 | marinel: don't think you can as fglrx has a list of supported cards and if yours is not there it will not install | 12:44 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: what make and model system? | 12:44 |
| guest258415 | ActionParsnip, it is toshiba satellite j10 dynabook | 12:45 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: why was that not in the initial question? Why did I have to ask? | 12:45 |
| Luzbelito | HP system tray service? unchecking it | 12:46 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 12:47 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: you can run a terminal by pressing CTRL+ALT+T | 12:47 |
| marinel | robin0800, is there list what GPU's works out of the box in ubuntu? If i try some second hand gpu some where. | 12:47 |
| blazemore_hat | marinel: You'd be hard pushed to find a GPU released in the last 10 years which doesn't work out of the box in Ubuntu | 12:49 |
| blazemore_hat | guest258415: Is there a shortcut key on your laptop to disable/enable the trackpad? usually fn+ one of the function keys | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: tried Fn + F9 ? | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: seems to be a shortcut to enable/disable the touchpad | 12:49 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: if you see a more likely button, use that | 12:50 |
| robin0800 | marinel: http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/amdcatalyst13-4linreleasenotes.aspx | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: also try running: synclient TouchpadOff=0 | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: does any of this work so far.... | 12:50 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: could also try the boot option: i8042.nomux=1 | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: or: irqpoll as a boot option | 12:51 |
| guest258415 | ActionParsnip, there is not button to turn it off, let try the last 2 answrs | 12:51 |
| marinel | robin0800, thank you | 12:51 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: you neer said... | 12:52 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: can then search for bugs (if any are reported) | 12:52 |
| Luzbelito | blazemore, i've unchecked HP system tray.. Should I reboot now? | 12:53 |
| blazemore_hat | Luzbelito: You can just log out and in | 12:53 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 12:54 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: runs in the same Terminal you ran the other commands in | 12:54 |
| guest258415 | ActionParsnip, synclient Touchpad)ff=0 says could not connect to X server, even though the live session is running | 12:54 |
| guest258415 | ActionParsnip, for that boot option, let me reboot the laptop, it will take some time :) | 12:55 |
| ActionParsnip | guest258415: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue | 12:55 |
| marinel | robin0800, Hmmm what if i could try some other distro? Would this ati rv350 work some older linux? | 12:55 |
| blazemore_hat | marinel: AMD doesn't support your card on Linux, but the open source drivers provide 2d acceleration | 12:56 |
| marinel | blazemore_hat, i just need youtube to work :) | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | marinel: minitube may help there | 12:57 |
| robin0800 | marinel: Last time it worked for me was 8.04 I think which is very old and no longer supported | 12:57 |
| ActionParsnip | robin0800: yes, Hardy is dead and gone | 12:58 |
| marinel | ActionParsnip, minitube? ok i will try | 12:58 |
| troulouliou_dev | hi how can i output a file extension with file command ? | 12:58 |
| AlHafoudh | hi | 12:58 |
| AlHafoudh | is it possible to have whole disk as root? without partitions... | 12:58 |
| ocsic-ocsic | join debian | 12:59 |
| cfhowlett | AlHafoudh, yes but performance will be degraded | 12:59 |
| AlHafoudh | cfhowlett: how is that? | 12:59 |
| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: basename ./filename.ext | cut -d "." -f 2 | 12:59 |
| cfhowlett | AlHafoudh, no swap | 12:59 |
| rigo | is it enough if i add the ppa upubuntu-com/kernel-amd64, do an update, than dist-upgrade? i mean will be my system up to date? | 12:59 |
| AlHafoudh | cfhowlett: swap will be other disk | 12:59 |
| cfhowlett | AlHafoudh, see, little details like that do matter. go for it | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | AlHafoudh: yes but its neater to have proper partitions | 13:00 |
| troulouliou_dev | ActionParsnip, no i have a fat32 with all files renames to file.000 file.001 ... | 13:00 |
| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: obviously change./filename.ext for the actual filename | 13:00 |
| troulouliou_dev | after a chkdsk | 13:00 |
| nicodb | I have installed Kubuntu 13.04 with autologin. After installation booting and autologin was OK. Then I've installed Firefox using the Firefox installer in the menu, then installed Teamviewer. During boot I see the KDE splash screen, then the screen turns into stripes. The keyboard is blocked. Any ideas how to fix this? I am currently logged in using a life DVD. | 13:00 |
| AlHafoudh | ActionParsnip: well, hypervisor already does LVM, its more flexible for me to not introduce more nesting with partitions | 13:00 |
| troulouliou_dev | ActionParsnip, so i want at least to recover the fileextension with file | 13:00 |
| MonkeyDust | rigo sudo apt-get update;sudo apt-get upgrade and your system will be up-to-date, no ppa needed | 13:00 |
| === blazemore_hat is now known as blazemore | ||
| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: but you said you wanted the file extension, thats what that does | 13:00 |
| rigo | someone saied, that i need to update the kernel either so i get the latest security updates too | 13:01 |
| troulouliou_dev | ActionParsnip, yes explaination issue :) | 13:01 |
| AlHafoudh | cfhowlett ActionParsnip the questions is, if ubuntu installer can do this kind of setup | 13:01 |
| ActionParsnip | troulouliou_dev: if you run: file file.000 it will try and tell you what it is. If you are missing data I suggest you restore from backup | 13:01 |
| MonkeyDust | rigo the ppa itself can be a security risk | 13:02 |
| marinel | robin0800, is there also amd/ati gpu list made for nvidia. Just in case if i find other than radeon :). | 13:02 |
| ZAIII | hello, I'm trying to do it: sudo apt-get install mono-complete | 13:05 |
| ZAIII | and I see | 13:05 |
| rigo | gr8. he saied: update from ppa or u get your system messed up. | 13:05 |
| ZAIII | E:unable to locate package | 13:05 |
| ZAIII | I did sudo apt-get update | 13:06 |
| fidel | !info mono-complete | 13:06 |
| rigo | i always updated the 12.04 ubuntu to the latest quantal 3.6.3 kernel. from kernel.ubuntu.com did i do something wrong? | 13:06 |
| ubottu | mono-complete (source: mono): complete Mono runtime, development tools and all libraries. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.10.8.1-5ubuntu1 (raring), package size 8 kB, installed size 54 kB | 13:06 |
| MonkeyDust | rigo a ppa is not screened hence a security risk, try to avoid ppa's as much as possible | 13:06 |
| rigo | ok anyway i only need ppa for xbmc and tvheadend. | 13:06 |
| fidel | ZAIII: package is available - at least for me in 12.04 | 13:06 |
| tadcrazio | hey guys i'm trying to change the default search engine in the address bar on firefox.. I keep searching and it says to go to about:config and then Keyword.url. I don't seem to have keyword.url Any sugguestions? | 13:06 |
| robin0800 | marinel: fx5200 seems to be the lowest card supported | 13:07 |
| ZAIII | )) | 13:07 |
| fidel | tadcrazio: rightlick the icon in the search bar and select 'manage search engines' | 13:07 |
| blazemore | tadcrazio: If you're sure you don't have keyword.URL you can make it | 13:07 |
| marinel | Who said that minitubue? was it ActionParsnip? Thank you! This works so well :) | 13:07 |
| blazemore | fidel: Search box != address bar | 13:07 |
| marinel | ActionParsnip, Thank you!!! | 13:08 |
| fidel | blazemore: was he asking for the address bar? | 13:08 |
| designbybeck_ | The Friends app in 13.04 doesn't seem to be to polished? Might there be a similar one to tie into facebook and twitter and the like? | 13:08 |
| blazemore | fidel: Yes | 13:08 |
| fidel | ups - sorry then | 13:08 |
| blazemore | :) | 13:08 |
| rigo | tadcrazio: u simply give the about:config into the address bar enter, what happens? | 13:08 |
| marinel | robin0800, i write these down if i need later. Thanks for the help. This is very good place and people are kind :) | 13:08 |
| tadcrazio | Rigo If i type that in then I click the little warning | 13:09 |
| rigo | yep. than there is a search bar under the address bar | 13:09 |
| tadcrazio | and then i search for keyword.url nothing | 13:09 |
| rigo | right? | 13:09 |
| marinel | Bye bye all! | 13:10 |
| blazemore | tadcrazio: Just search for keyword | 13:10 |
| tadcrazio | i did | 13:10 |
| chiques | anyone recommend any good equation formatting app? | 13:10 |
| rigo | u shouldnt search with ctrl+F | 13:10 |
| blazemore | tadcrazio: You are using the search bar at the top of about:config, and not the default Firefox ctrl=F dialogue? | 13:10 |
| tadcrazio | I did not search with control+F i searched in the box, When i type in keyword the only thing that shows up is keyword.enabled | 13:11 |
| tadcrazio | Correct blazemore | 13:11 |
| blazemore | OK so now right-click and do New | 13:11 |
| rigo | thats bad. than create one | 13:11 |
| blazemore | new->String | 13:11 |
| rigo | but blazemore explains for u :) | 13:11 |
| tadcrazio | okay, new-string | 13:11 |
| blazemore | The preference name is keyword.URL | 13:11 |
| blazemore | The content is https://duckduckgo.com/?t=lm&q= | 13:11 |
| blazemore | or whatever | 13:11 |
| rigo | duckduckgo.com :D | 13:12 |
| tadcrazio | i was going duckduckgo .. reading its more secure, any other reasons why it should be that? | 13:12 |
| tadcrazio | any idea what i didn't have a keyword.url? | 13:12 |
| blazemore | Not a clue tadcrazio | 13:12 |
| blazemore | DuckDuckGo doesn't track you. They tell you more info on their website, it's off-topic here | 13:13 |
| willybilly0101 | ddg is not more secure, it's just privacy-orieted | 13:13 |
| tadcrazio | thank you | 13:13 |
| blazemore | tadcrazio: Did it work? | 13:13 |
| tadcrazio | it did, just tested it | 13:14 |

| setuid | In 12.04, this works: gconftool-2 --direct --config-source xml:readwrite:/etc/gconf/gconf.xml.mandatory --type Boolean --set /apps/gdm/simple-greeter/disable_user_list True | 13:32 |
| setuid | In 13.04, it's a lightdm.conf poke | 13:32 |
| ChogyDan | blazemore: Luzbelito: more nuclear: `sudo apt-get install ubuntu-desktop^` | 13:33 |
| JuJuBee | blazemore: so I thought I would put my old HD back in and boot. I got the brub boot menu but when I try to boot ubuntu I get busybox with (initramfs) prompt | 13:33 |
| === blazemore is now known as chu-2 | ||
| ffio | ChogyDan: i am getting error as : /proc/self/fd/9: 5: /proc/self/fd/9: initctl not found | 13:34 |
| Luzbelito | it says ubuntu/desktop is in its most recent version | 13:34 |
| jpds | setuid: You should be using 12.04 LTS for production environment, anyway. | 13:34 |
| setuid | jpds, I am, but I'm also testing 13.04, so the jump is based on known changes, not surprisesd | 13:34 |
| ChogyDan | Luzbelito: try the command I just gave | 13:34 |
| setuid | hence, pulling these into VMs under ESX | 13:34 |
| === chu-2 is now known as blazemore | ||
| Luzbelito | chogydan: ubuntu[desktop is in its most recent version" | 13:36 |
| ChogyDan | Luzbelito: you should get a lot more output if you keep the ^ | 13:36 |
| Luzbelito | oh, ok | 13:37 |
| rigo88 | if i install the fglrx driver, do the aticonfig-steps, and reboot, the icons are large, and the video driver is "unknown" | 13:37 |
| ChogyDan | everyone thinks it is a typo when I give that command :) | 13:37 |
| rigo88 | simply sudo apt-get install fglrx | 13:38 |
| JuJuBee | Looks like my old hd is bad... bios doesn't even see it now.. :( | 13:38 |
| ffio | for me initctl is broken how can i fix it ? | 13:39 |
| Luzbelito | amazing! uninstalling and reinstalling a lot of packages! | 13:39 |
| netQT | Hello. Does someone know how can I pass password as a parameter for sshfs? | 13:39 |
| ChogyDan | ffio: I don't think that is what that means. I think it just means it can't find /proc/self/fd/9. That IS the initctrl | 13:39 |
| jpds | netQT: Use a password-less SSH key instead? | 13:39 |
| Luzbelito | finished. Should I reboot now? | 13:40 |
| blazemore | netQT: You can't, use key-based authentication instead | 13:40 |
| netQT | now I can do that? | 13:40 |
| netQT | do I have to add something in server? | 13:40 |
| ChogyDan | Luzbelito: I'm assuming you haven't removed your kernel? So yeah, you can restart | 13:41 |
| Luzbelito | ok rebooting... | 13:41 |
| Luzbelito | I hope so. The situation is that i can't use the unity environment. It says no tray system detected on this system, exiting. | 13:42 |
| Luzbelito | i'm now logged in enlightement environment | 13:42 |
| ChogyDan | ffio: were you working on an upstart script? | 13:42 |
| Luzbelito | rebooting | 13:42 |
| ChogyDan | Luzbelito: that's fine kernel wise | 13:42 |
| ChogyDan | ffio: I missed the part about how your computer stopped booting | 13:43 |
| ffio | ChogyDan: i was following customizing livecd. | 13:43 |
| ffio | and by mistake i exected this commands | 13:43 |
| ffio | ChogyDan: rm /sbin/initctl | 13:46 |
| ffio | dpkg-divert --rename --remove /sbin/initctl | 13:46 |
| jayesh | hi I sm trying to connect to a airtel 4g lte to my ubuntu 12.04 box but its connected but i cant browse anything. | 13:46 |
| ffio | instead executing in the chroot env i executed in my ubuntu host machine | 13:46 |
| ChogyDan | ffio: I don't know anything about that. Are you just trying to repair ubuntu? | 13:47 |
| ffio | ChogyDan: after executing those command my ubuntu was showing that it has unexpectedly closed and needs to restart and i restarted and got stuck. | 13:48 |
| ffio | ChogyDan: right now i am trying to repair it | 13:48 |
| ChogyDan | ffio: if you are trying to repair your ubuntu install, you may need to use a livecd, chroot into your disk, and reinstall upstart | 13:48 |
| synth_ | guys, is there a way I can install ubuntu 12.01 WITHOUT installing video card drivers? | 13:48 |
| synth_ | *12.04 | 13:48 |
| ChogyDan | synth_: do you want a gui? | 13:49 |
| ffio | ChogyDan: from ubuntu advance option, i was able to get the root promt | 13:49 |
| synth_ | ok let me rephrase it, | 13:49 |
| synth_ | Can I install ubuntu 12.04 WITHOUT it AUTOMATICALLY INSTALLING my ATI drivers and just use the generic one? | 13:49 |
| ChogyDan | ffio: see if you can reinstall upstart, that is what /sbin/initctrl is a part of | 13:49 |
| Senor_ | If I reinstall my kernel of other version ,does this mean I give up the current version ? | 13:50 |
| === Sickki_ is now known as Sickki | ||
| synth_ | Because when I installed Ubuntu 9.10 it did not automatically Install my ATI drivers | 13:50 |
| synth_ | heck it didnt even detect my video card | 13:50 |
| synth_ | I'm installing it on a lappy with an AMD Radeon HD 6370 | 13:51 |
| ChogyDan | Senor_: it should just install them side by side. But then it is tricky picking the one you want at bootup | 13:51 |
| ffio | ChogyDan: apt-get --reinstall upstart right ? | 13:51 |
| ActionParsnip | synth_: could try the legacy ppa | 13:51 |
| ChogyDan | ffio: apt-get install --reinstall... | 13:52 |
| SentryAB | hey | 13:53 |
| OerHeks | synth ah, you have a hybrid GPU, intel and ati > http://askubuntu.com/questions/252872/cant-find-ati-mobility-radeon-hd-6370-driver-for-ubuntu-12-10-64-bit-on-hp-pavi | 13:53 |
| TJ- | synth_: If I recall correctly, during install there's an option to "Download updates" and "Install drivers" (might be hidden in an advanced menu) which by default are enabled. I recall un-checking the tick-boxes to avoid both during a VM installation test. | 13:53 |
| Senor_ | ChogyDan:what is the exact meaning ? | 13:54 |
| SentryAB | I have an HTPC running XBMC on lightdm, would it be possible to start firefox from a different tty and display it on top of XBMC on tty7? | 13:54 |
| ActionParsnip | SentryAB: could try: export DISPLAY=0.0 firefox | 13:55 |
| ActionParsnip | SentryAB: might need a semicolon before 'firefox' | 13:55 |
| Skizu | So I've just updated php I believe, and I'm now getting a message saying: "Your PHP installation appears to be missing the MySQL extension which is required by WordPress." | 13:55 |
| SentryAB | ActionParsnip, ok thanks, I'll give it a try :) | 13:56 |
| synth_ | TJ I do remember having the option about the updates but i dont recall the drivers, i need to check on that. Thank you | 13:56 |
| fidel | Skizu: check phpinfo() - at least thats a first easy way to check your env | 13:56 |
| TJ- | synth_: I remember it since when I disabled "Download Updates" but left the "Install drivers" the installer got stuck - it didn't figure out to *not* try to download the non-free drivers! | 13:57 |
| Skizu | Ok a moment fidel | 13:57 |
| synth_ | I see, but the thing is, i don't want it to not install Wifi, sound, etc, drivers, i just want it to not install the graphics drivers | 13:58 |
| Cyrax | When i install using wget .. how to i uninstall? | 13:58 |
| Skizu | fidel appears to be the case, I selected lamp when I installed so off that it'd not got it :s anyway to install mysql I guess? | 13:59 |
| TJ- | synth_: I'm not sure, but there may have been the option to select which non-free drivers to install, but the memory is hazy now | 13:59 |
| rhin0 | try lighttpd for a easier configurable web server | 14:00 |
| angela | hi, I'm having some trouble running an upstart script | 14:00 |
| ChogyDan | Skizu: you can redo the lamp install with sudo apt-get install lamp-server^ yes, a ^ | 14:00 |
| TJ- | Cyrax: You don't 'install' using wget - wget simply fetches files from a network location | 14:00 |
| synth_ | TJ its fine, no biggie, thanks for the suggestion and will definitely try it | 14:00 |
| Cyrax | well.. how do i remove it? | 14:00 |
| angela | the paste is available here http://paste.ubuntu.com/5981286/ | 14:00 |
| angela | when I start the service, it would say start with some pid, but when I do ps aux I can't see it | 14:01 |
| Cyrax | I need to get rid of Unrealircd3.2.8.1 | 14:01 |
| blazemore | angela: even when you do "sudo ps aux"? Just checking | 14:01 |
| angela | and forever list would result in no jobs running | 14:01 |
| angela | blazemore: yes, because I'm logged in as root | 14:01 |
| Senor_ | ChogyDan: for example , my current kernel is ubuntu~precise ,after I reinstall ubuntu generic , does it mean I have lost the precise version? | 14:01 |
| ChogyDan | Senor_: no, kernels install side by side. They don't get uninstalled till you do that | 14:02 |
| Skizu | How do I change my keyboard for the server as it thinks I've a US keyboard not a UK keyboard, so i can't do them beautiful backslashes | 14:03 |
| TJ- | Cyrax: If you executed an installer that was downloaded you'd need to consult its documentation. If you only downloaded a file, then just delete it. | 14:03 |
| blazemore | Skizu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-data | 14:03 |
| Skizu | ChogyDan I tried that, but it says E: Error, pkgProblemResolver::Resolve generated breaks, this may be caused by held packages | 14:04 |
| blazemore | Skizu: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install | 14:04 |
| Senor_ | ChogyDan:I do not understand what meaning of "side by side " | 14:05 |
| ChogyDan | Skizu: ? can you pastebin the whole error? | 14:05 |
| Skizu | How do I select text? | 14:05 |
| ChogyDan | Senor_: concurrently. at the same time. simultaneous | 14:05 |
| blazemore | Skizu: After you do update; -f install, run sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 14:06 |
| Skizu | blazemore I don't have console-data it says | 14:06 |
| blazemore | Skizu: sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration | 14:06 |
| Skizu | ALso when I do the update it stated 6 not upgraded | 14:06 |
| synth_ | ok i got my phone in the channel i will try the reinstallation | 14:07 |
| Senor_ | ChogyDan:So my host will exist a couple of OS ? | 14:07 |
| Skizu | Any idea what I want to select blazemore? | 14:07 |
| blazemore | No Skizu ... it's your keyboard | 14:07 |
| ChogyDan | Senor_: you can have several kernels installed at the same time, no prob | 14:07 |
| Skizu | blazemore my keyboard isn't in the list :D | 14:08 |
| Cyrax | thanks | 14:08 |
| blazemore | Skizu: Generic 105-key, and then English UK | 14:08 |
| Skizu | Thanks, font changed too | 14:09 |
| Skizu | So is there a way for me to select text in ssh :s? | 14:10 |
| Cyrax | I did do wget .. but I can't find a way to remove Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz | 14:10 |
| blazemore | Skizu: With your mouse | 14:10 |
| blazemore | Cyrax: wget just downloads a file from the internet | 14:10 |
| blazemore | Cyrax: can't you just do "rm Unreal3.2.8.1.tar.gz" ? | 14:10 |
| Skizu | my mouse isn't doing anything at all :s | 14:10 |
| Senor_ | ChogyDan:then my host is working on which OS? | 14:10 |
| blazemore | Skizu: it depends what terminal you're using | 14:10 |
| Skizu | Right I'll type it all out haha | 14:11 |
| blazemore | Suit yourself :) | 14:11 |
| ChogyDan | Senor_: by default, it will start with the latest kernel | 14:11 |
| blazemore | Like my mother with her spreadsheet on her PC, and her calculator by her side | 14:11 |
| ffio | ChogyDan: chrooted into my machine followed the steps now rebooting :D | 14:11 |

| Or6itz | Hey all, I am looking for some help with a mod_rewrite issue on my new Ubuntu server. | 14:13 |
| Or6itz | I just migrated from a managed HostGator server to a self-managed Digital Ocean server. After the migration, one of my sites started doing some strange things with mod_rewrite. | 14:14 |
| Skizu | http://pastebin.com/JmHx26rE | 14:14 |
| TJ- | Skizu: If you need to select text, start 'screen' and then use its copy buffer, etc. | 14:14 |
| blazemore | Skizu: What did you do? How did you install apache? | 14:14 |
| Or6itz | For instance, this rule works: RewriteRule ^movies/?$ movies.php?%{QUERY_STRING} [L] | 14:14 |
| Or6itz | This rule doesn't: RewriteRule ^movies/([a-zA-Z0-9_-]+)/?$ /movies-view.php?slug=$1 [L] | 14:14 |
| Senor_ | ChogyDan:does this result in several menu at grub menulist ? | 14:14 |
| Or6itz | The non working rule is located above the working rule. They were all working just fine on the old server. Could it be something with the RegEx and $1? | 14:15 |
| blazemore | Or6itz: I'd recommend asking in #apache to be honest | 14:15 |
| Skizu | Erm was an option when installing ubuntu? | 14:15 |
| ChogyDan | Senor_: the menu entries are there, though they might be hidden | 14:15 |
| Skizu | LAMP | 14:15 |
| blazemore | Skizu: Try "sudo apt-get -f install" | 14:15 |
| ChogyDan | Skizu: can you please pastebin the entire command and output? | 14:15 |
| Or6itz | blazemore: Thanks, I am not getting a response in that channel. | 14:15 |
| Senor_ | ChogyDan:reinstall one kernel does not add one entry at grub.conf? | 14:16 |
| Skizu | blazemore I get 0 updated, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 6 not upgraded. | 14:16 |
| ChogyDan | Senor_: not on that latest versions, no | 14:16 |
| blazemore | Skizu: What was giving you that error then? | 14:16 |
| Skizu | ChogyDan it doesn't have a pointer I can't select it | 14:16 |
| Or6itz | blazemore: I asked in the #httpd channel, but the #apache channel I have to be invited to. | 14:17 |
| blazemore | Or6itz: I think #apache redirects to #httpd | 14:17 |
| TJ- | Skizu: Your problem is, you've installed a custom PPA package of apache from Ondřej Surý (by the version string). That conflicts with the main archive versions. You need to remove the custom PPA package(s) | 14:17 |
| Senor_ | ChogyDan:Do you know the ~precise version of ubuntu ? | 14:17 |
| Skizu | It's just that the code requires mysql to be installed but for some reason isn't getting installed | 14:17 |
| blazemore | Skizu: So when I said "what did you do?" you *actually* meant "installed third-party builds of Apache from an untrusted source"? | 14:18 |
| Skizu | Erm, how do I do this? | 14:18 |
| ChogyDan | Skizu: TJ- is probably right | 14:18 |
| blazemore | Skizu: How did you install it? | 14:18 |
| TJ- | Skizu: Unless there are 2 PPAs using the same versioning, it'll be this: https://launchpad.net/~ondrej/+archive/apache2 | 14:18 |
| blazemore | Skizu: Are you the person who was in here earlier asking about PHP5.4? | 14:18 |
| ffio | ChogyDan: done thanks for the help :) | 14:18 |
| Skizu | I've not installed apache apart from from the ubunutu install | 14:18 |
| ChogyDan | ffio: great! glad it worked | 14:18 |
| Skizu | blazemore indeed I am | 14:18 |
| TJ- | Skizu: You have apache 2.4 installed (probably to get PFC functionality) but the main archive only contains apache 2.2 | 14:19 |
| blazemore | Skizu: OK so do this: sudo apt-get install pastebinit | 14:19 |
| blazemore | TJ-: It's OK I told him to add that PPA I'll take this one | 14:19 |
| TJ- | Skizu: What does this show? "grep -i ppa /etc/apt/sources.list.d/*" ? | 14:19 |
| * TJ- has to go ... hope you can track it down now | 14:19 | |
| blazemore | TJ-: I know exactly what it's going to show because I told him to add that PPA a few hours ago | 14:20 |
| Skizu | blazemore done that | 14:20 |
| blazemore | Skizu: OK now do | 14:20 |

| ikillcypher | o.o | 14:35 |
| hero | hi guys | 14:35 |
| ActionParsnip | ikillcypher: if that is the mount point then yes, you will need: wget -O /xperiatouch/device/sony/fusion3-common https://github.com/mamenyaka/android_device_sony_fusion3-common | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ikillcypher: the -O option (o)utputs it to where you say | 14:36 |
| ActionParsnip | ikillcypher: if you get access denied then add 'sudo' | 14:36 |
| ikillcypher | so if I do wget | 14:36 |
| ikillcypher | so if I do wget at /xperiatouch/device/sony/fusion3-common it will download and replace? | 14:37 |
| ActionParsnip | ikillcypher: not sure, might make a file at the side with a number in brackets | 14:37 |
| ikillcypher | honestly so how do I download and replace that copy with mine | 14:38 |
| ikillcypher | ? | 14:38 |
| Skizu | Sorry back, so blazemore any ideas? | 14:38 |
| ActionParsnip | ikillcypher: i believe if you use the -O option it will overwrite | 14:38 |
| ikillcypher | so the final command is ikillcypher@ikillcypher:~/xperiatouch/device/sony/fusion3-common$ wget -O https://github.com/mamenyaka/android_device_sony_fusion3-common | 14:39 |
| ikillcypher | ?? | 14:39 |
| Skizu | So it seems like I've an issue with mysql as it thinks I don't have it so I have to start mysql or something? | 14:40 |
| blazemore | Skizu: I'm not entirely sure what issue you're having? | 14:40 |
| Skizu | No mysql installed but said it was? | 14:40 |
| blazemore | Skizu: sudo apt-get install mysql-server-5.5 mysql-server-core-5.5 | 14:41 |

| Skizu | Can't get a version number or anything? | 14:43 |
| blazemore | Skizu: OK now I'm really confused | 14:43 |
| Pici | ikillcypher: thats not the command that ActionParsnip told you to use. | 14:43 |
| ActionParsnip | ikillcypher: could use web browser to pull it down. Maybe the site doesnt like wget | 14:43 |
| blazemore | Skizu: Can you run "mysql" on the commandline? | 14:43 |
| ikillcypher | how :( | 14:44 |
| hero | guys,has anybody used neroAacEnc yet on ubuntu? | 14:44 |
| ikillcypher | im not good with bash commands | 14:44 |
| blazemore | !anyone | hero | 14:44 |
| ubottu | hero: 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. | 14:44 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: "use the web browser" | 14:44 |
| Pici | ikillcypher: I'm sorry to say, but this isn't a 'bash commands' problem, its a following directions problem :( | 14:44 |
| ikillcypher | what you mean use web browser | 14:44 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: To save the file | 14:44 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: All wget does is save a file | 14:44 |
| Skizu | blazemore any function I can use to test? | 14:44 |
| ikillcypher | is there not command to download and replace ? | 14:45 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: "man wget" | 14:45 |
| Pici | ikillcypher: wget -O output_file http://url | 14:45 |
| Skizu | blazemore appears to work? | 14:46 |
| ikillcypher | so man wget ikillcypher@ikillcypher:~/xperiatouch/device/sony/fusion3-common$ wget -O https://github.com/mamenyaka/android_device_sony_fusion3-common | 14:46 |
| ikillcypher | wget: missing URL | 14:46 |
| ikillcypher | Usage: wget [OPTION]... [URL]... | 14:46 |
| ikillcypher | wtf | 14:46 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: Read the command you typed in | 14:46 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: Understand what you are asking it to do | 14:46 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: wget -O filename http://url | 14:46 |
| ikillcypher | missing url ? | 14:46 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: that will download http://url to a file called "filename" | 14:46 |
| blazemore | you're asking wget to download *something* to a file called "https://github.com/mamenyaka/android_device_sony_fusion3-common" but you haven't told it what to download | 14:47 |
| ikillcypher | download everything | 14:47 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: The answer you're looking for btw is | 14:47 |
| ikillcypher | and replace with mine | 14:47 |
| blazemore | wget -O android_device_sony_fusion3-common https://github.com/mamenyaka/android_device_sony_fusion3-common | 14:47 |
| ikillcypher | that will download everything and replace with mine ? | 14:47 |
| ikillcypher | does that means i have to be at dir to do that | 14:48 |
| blazemore | it will download https://github.com/mamenyaka/android_device_sony_fusion3-common to a file called android_device_sony_fusion3-common in whatever directory you're in when you run it | 14:48 |
| Pici | fyi: "https://github.com/mamenyaka/android_device_sony_fusion3-common" is an html page, its likely not what you want. | 14:48 |
| ikillcypher | do I need to croot ? | 14:48 |
| ikillcypher | I want to download everything inside there? | 14:48 |

| Skizu | How the freak do I find out what version mysql things it's running as I can't get mysql to do anything just keeps giving me -> | 14:48 |
| Pici | ikillcypher: you need to either clone it with git or download the zip file that they provide on that webpage. | 14:49 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: You want the contents of that git repository? | 14:49 |
| ikillcypher | of cause o.o | 14:49 |
| blazemore | ikillcypher: There's a button on that site that says "download zip" on the right | 14:49 |
| Pici | Skizu: mysql -V | 14:49 |
| Skizu | And any idea why PHP is thinking there's no mysql there? :D | 14:50 |
| Pici | Skizu: do you have the php mysql module installed? | 14:50 |
| MonkeyDust | Skizu it's 5.5 in 13.04 | 14:50 |
| blazemore | use your mouse to move the arrow-shaped cursor on your screen until the pointed part is over the button saying "Download ZIP". using your index finger, press the left mouse button. Left is this direction <-- | 14:50 |

| abradley | * vm = virtual machine | 14:52 |
| Pici | Skizu: see if apt-cache policy php5-mysql says its installed | 14:52 |
| gordonjcp | abradley: then set your permissions up correctly | 14:52 |
| gordonjcp | abradley: and you shouldn't be manually extracting stuff to /var/www anyway in a sane setup | 14:52 |
| abradley | gordonjcp, I'm definitely a newbie. | 14:53 |
| holstein | i used to just extract, and sudo mv what i wanted there | 14:53 |
| gordonjcp | abradley: okay, are you familiar with how Unix permissions work? | 14:53 |

| MonkeyDust | abradley a newbie shouldnt be root | 14:53 |
| gordonjcp | abradley: what holstein says; extract in your homedir and sudo mv | 14:53 |
| abradley | gordonjcp, thanks | 14:53 |

| Skizu | blazemore: But I'm 5.5 and mysql is there | 15:24 |
| blazemore | OK on your server press Up until you get to that long command again | 15:24 |
| blazemore | This time change it so instead of "install --reinstall" it says "remove" | 15:24 |
| Skizu | And then | 15:24 |
| blazemore | So you will be uninstalling all those packages | 15:24 |
| blazemore | And then do the first one again to install them | 15:25 |
| blz | Hello. How can I play VP70 video files (in a .avi container) on ubuntu 13.04? I get sound but no video and `ubuntu-restricted-extras` is already installed. | 15:25 |
| Skizu | Taking a while to remove them | 15:25 |
| ActionParsnip | blz: install vlc, gnome-mplayer and w32codecs (from medibuntu) (I assume 32bit OS) | 15:25 |
| Skizu | blazemore: should it take like 1minute+ ? | 15:26 |
| blazemore | Skizu: It's going to take a little while | 15:26 |
| blz | ActionParsnip, 64-bit os, but will-do | 15:26 |
| ActionParsnip | blz: then w64codecs | 15:26 |
| eduhat | ikonia: would you even suggest using this HPSIM stuff? | 15:27 |
| Skizu | blazemore: So what we're doing now is uninstalling so we can find out? | 15:27 |
| Skizu | blazemore: would it have been a good idea to stop the services first? | 15:28 |
| blazemore | ActionParsnip: sudo apt-get install w`lscpu | grep "\-bit" | awk '{print $NF}' | cut -d "-" -f 1`codecs | 15:29 |
| blazemore | Skizu: It can't uninstall them without stopping them | 15:29 |
| blazemore | Someone correct me if I'm wrong | 15:29 |
| blazemore | Skizu: It certainly couldn't hurt to reboot in between if you want to be sure :) | 15:29 |
| Skizu | So it'll stop them itself? | 15:29 |
| robin_debspace | Hello everyone! I'm trying to install Ubuntu 12.04 Server on a HP ProLiant server. However I am completely blind and attempting to install using a Braille display, not a screen. | 15:29 |
| blazemore | Skizu: yes | 15:30 |
| Skizu | CTRL C to cancel right? | 15:30 |
| robin_debspace | Basically, I would need to boot from CD, get to the boot prompt and launch brltty from there which would activate Braille support. But how do I get to the boot command line? | 15:30 |
| blz | ActionParsnip, installed w64codecs and I'm still getting the same issue | 15:30 |
| hayer | robin_debspace lol hahhaa | 15:30 |
| blazemore | yes but wait, why are you cancelling Skizu | 15:30 |
| blz | ActionParsnip, VLC fails saying that it can't play vp70 (and that there's nothing I can do about it) | 15:30 |
| hayer | robin_debspace: wait, are you serious? | 15:31 |
| freze | daftykins: why's that? I'm thinking of upgrading to linux-image-3.8.0-27-generic - Linux kernel image for version 3.8.0 on 32 bit x86 SMP | 15:31 |
| blz | ActionParsnip, and mplayer searches for the codec and then gives up, playing audio only | 15:31 |
| Skizu | Well it's still hanging on the remove? | 15:31 |
| blazemore | Skizu: hanging on what? | 15:31 |
| daftykins | freze: sure you don't have to stick to openvz specific kernels? | 15:31 |

| robin_debspace | hayer: Of course I am, why would I be asking such a question if I wasn't?... | 15:31 |
| blazemore | Skizu: Yeah but what's the bottom-most line on the screen right now? | 15:32 |
| Skizu | _ | 15:32 |
| Skizu | blazemore: just a _ | 15:32 |
| blazemore | Skizu: Is there anything else at all on the screen? | 15:32 |
| Skizu | The command above it | 15:32 |
| blazemore | erm... weird. Yeah try cancelling and running it again | 15:33 |
| blazemore | I think your server is possibly posessed, Skizu you might need a priest not a sysadmin | 15:33 |
| robin_debspace | I need to either get to the boot prompt command line to invoke brltty, or have a way of installing remotely, e.g. using SSH if possible | 15:33 |

| danlee | does anyone know how to restart the sound server of 12.04? The sound server gets problem after playing minecraft | 15:33 |
| icelite | hi all | 15:33 |
| freze | daftykins: Hmmm not sure if that is important/relevant. Probably more important is to ensure that the kernel is for virtual machines and that it has SMP | 15:33 |
| blazemore | I'm not sure how to do that robin_debspace but I know you can pre-prepare an image for automatic installation | 15:34 |
| daftykins | freze: fair enough ;) just checking | 15:34 |
| Skizu | blazemore: Sorted it removed it all now | 15:34 |
| Skizu | blazemore: What next boss | 15:34 |
| blazemore | What you just did, but with "install" instead of "remove" :) | 15:35 |
| blazemore | wait | 15:35 |
| blazemore | run sudo apt-get update first | 15:35 |
| freze | daftykins: but to be honest I'm not sure | 15:35 |
| daftykins | freze: read up the docs then :) | 15:35 |
| gezhy | just a test | 15:35 |
| robin_debspace | blazemore: Thanks for the info. There's some documentation on how to enable brltty in the installer, but unfortunately that documentation is completely stolen from the docs of the Debian installer and doesn't apply to Ubuntu. | 15:36 |
| freze | daftykins: the kernel docs in the ubuntu doc center isn't that helpful | 15:36 |
| Skizu | blazemore: paste.ubuntu.com/5981625 | 15:36 |
| daftykins | freze: ubuntu doc center != your VPS providers' docs | 15:36 |
| sipior | robin_debspace: i'm afraid i don't know much about your terminal arrangement, but you can typically get to the boot option line by pressing F6 and then Esc. | 15:36 |

| Skizu | blazemore: Did that, same message | 15:46 |
| blazemore | ...no | 15:46 |
| sipior | robin_debspace: hmm. i'll have to think a bit about that. bit embarrassing that this is still a problem in 2013... | 15:46 |

| ubottu | n-iCe: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. | 15:48 |
| jigglebone | !xbmc | phillyj You can install xbmc directly on Ubuntu | 15:48 |

| blazemore | ThothCastel: chmod +x scriptname | 16:05 |
| ActionParsnip | ThothCastel: you will need to mark it executable | 16:05 |
| ThothCastel | ok thanks guys | 16:06 |
| steven__ | wilee-nilee, ok I'm reading that.. anyway on my laptop secureboot cannot be disabled.. -_-" | 16:06 |
| geri_ | blazemore: i run ./configure to install netsniff-ng | 16:06 |
| blazemore | geri_: That error is from missing dependencies | 16:06 |
| blazemore | geri_: netsniff-ng is in the repository, you don't need to compile it | 16:07 |
| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: when you say shell... you mean Gnome? so i see that unity, gnome and cinnamon are the 3 popular interface/theme, specifically I want something low usage and less flashy, no blurrs fades or transparency but still functional and convenient. | 16:07 |
| blazemore | geri_: Just do "sudo apt-get install netsniff-ng" | 16:07 |
| wilee-nilee | steven__, Cool, hardly anyone here really knows uefi, many are willing to guess, be aware of that, and that thread author is who you really want help from | 16:07 |
| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: which of those 3 is up my ally? thanks for the help by the way | 16:07 |
| geri_ | blazemore: http://codepaste.net/5nuf7k | 16:07 |
| geri_ | all the output | 16:07 |
| blazemore | geri_: Why are you compiling it? | 16:08 |
| geri_ | does it also include all those sub packets? | 16:08 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, If you want the lightest, although needing more configs set lubuntu os nice xubuntu many like as well. | 16:08 |
| blazemore | sub packets? | 16:08 |
| wilee-nilee | is* | 16:08 |
| geri_ | like trafgen | 16:08 |
| blazemore | yes | 16:09 |
| geri_ | blazemore: like netsniff-ng flowtop astraceroute mausezahn | 16:09 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, I suspect xubuntu is probably what your looking for. | 16:09 |
| blazemore | geri_: If you have source repositories you can do "sudo apt-get build-dep netsniff-ng" | 16:10 |
| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: aren't those different distros? meaning i'd to install them over my current ubuntu partition or make a new partition? or are xubuntu and lubuntu and that stuff like cinnamon? | 16:10 |
| blazemore | geri_: That will install the dependencies required to compile it, since you seem to want to compile it so much | 16:10 |
| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: i'd have* | 16:10 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, Nope all desktops on top of the ubuntu base | 16:11 |
| themanwithnoface | wilee-nilee: :O | 16:11 |
| artcurmudgeon | I am trying to find out if there is another way to redirect 80 and 443 traffic through a proxy, /etc/environment did not work, and iptables isnt working either. when I watch proxy traffic it is still trying to access directly to the ip address:443 | 16:11 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, What you will see though is some have others apps so you will see them in the other desktops to some extent. | 16:12 |
| ikonia | artcurmudgeon: iptables, squid or modproxy in apache are the ways to do it | 16:12 |
| artcurmudgeon | ikonia: this is a server inside a network that is accessing the outside through a proxy | 16:12 |
| geri_ | blazemore: ok | 16:12 |
| geri_ | sounds good | 16:13 |
| ikonia | artcurmudgeon: so ? | 16:13 |
| Guest99459 | hey, I want to connect my 4G airtel modem, its detecting, but no internet access | 16:13 |
| wilee-nilee | themanwithnoface, So if you start adding multiple desktops to find what you want, you want to be aware that if you want to remove one they are meta packages this site in the playing around section has those meta lists, just be sure you are using the one from your release. http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/ | 16:13 |
| artcurmudgeon | ikonia: sorry, have been racking my brain and researching the web and am at my wits end | 16:13 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest99459: does the interface have an IP address? | 16:13 |
| Guest99459 | ubuntu12.04 | 16:13 |

| Guest99459 | not able to | 16:14 |
| Guest99459 | package expires | 16:14 |
| ActionParsnip | Guest99459: if you run: lsusb use the 8 character hex ID to find guides | 16:14 |
| Guest99459 | the modem shows up | 16:14 |
| Guest99459 | it connects | 16:14 |

| jimi_ | When I press F5 in browsers, it doesn't refresh, it opens a new page. If I press F2, it adjusts the brightness. I thought I had to press the FN key for that functionality? | 16:36 |
| TJ- | XxXKINGMAKXxX: The log-in screen is provided by the lightdm greeter, the lock by Unity (I think) | 16:36 |

| TJ- | jimi_: It sounds more like the browser doesn't have input focus when you press those buttons... does it? | 16:38 |

| King_DuckZ | hello, I'm trying to build my company's project on ubuntu but I get errors about QtMultimedia not being found. I did install qt-mobility but the QtMultimedia folder is in the wrong place and is called QtMultimediaKit | 16:41 |
| King_DuckZ | how am I to fix this problem? | 16:41 |
| King_DuckZ | the build currently works on sabayon and fedora | 16:42 |
| daftykins | King_DuckZ: why not symlink the path to the expected path to test if that solves it? | 16:42 |

| King_DuckZ | wilee-nilee: I already installed the packages you mention, in fact I do have /usr/include/QtMultimediaKit, but I'd rather need /usr/include/qt4/QtMultimedia | 16:44 |
| wilee-nilee | King_DuckZ, I know nothing about it, by the way. | 16:44 |

| daftykins | hi | 16:44 |
| may | can i ask a question in this room? | 16:45 |
| MonkeyDust | may let's hear it | 16:45 |
| TJ- | jimi_: I'd suggest you run xev and see what code the F5 is generating, so we can be sure it is the F5 key-code causing new windows to open. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LaptopTesting/Keycodes | 16:46 |

| Ari-Yang | simong, maybe you should just google for a ppa with that version? | 16:47 |
| simong | I'm not finding anything | 16:48 |
| King_DuckZ | daftykins: symlinking doesn't fix :/ surprisingly I still get the error | 16:48 |
| holstein | may: nothing about ubuntu is preventing you from installing on that machine.. | 16:48 |
| simong | this is sort of a last-ditch resort before I setup my own | 16:48 |
| King_DuckZ | TJ-: I use find_pacake(Qt4 REQUIRED [...] QtMultimedia) | 16:48 |
| King_DuckZ | TJ-: which is failing on ubuntu | 16:49 |
| MonkeyDust | may, what ubuntu version? what goes wrong? | 16:49 |

| MonkeyDust | may ok, and what goes wrong when you try to install? | 16:50 |
| King_DuckZ | daftykins: the content of the directory I have on ubuntu matches what I have on sabayon tho | 16:50 |
| trism | King_DuckZ: looks like the qt4 version was dropped in 10.10 https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qt4-x11/4:4.7.0~beta2-0ubuntu2 so you're likely going to have to modify it to use qtmultimediakit | 16:50 |
| Ari-Yang | simong, what ubuntu version are you running on? | 16:50 |
| daftykins | King_DuckZ: what error are you getting? | 16:50 |
| simong | precise (12.04) | 16:51 |
| may | just a moment | 16:51 |
| Ari-Yang | simong, if you can't find a ppa then just download it from its official site | 16:51 |
| Ari-Yang | also I found 1.3.18 but it's for raring | 16:51 |
| King_DuckZ | trism: it looks like a bug to me, FindQt4.cmake clearly mentions QTMULTIMEDIA in the comments at the top and there is no FindQtMultimediaKit.cmake I can use | 16:52 |
| simong | yea, I can build it from source fine, it's just a pain to automate it with puppet as it requires a ton of dependencies | 16:52 |

| R0SSI | I've install some software via pip command as in: sudo pip install transifex-client; I can upgrade them separately, for example: sudo pip install --update youtube-dl -> How can I upgrade all of the software installed by pip? | 16:57 |

| simong | Ari-Yang: well 1.3.18 is still much preferred, but at least it's something | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | R0SSI: what is 'pip'? | 16:59 |
| TJ- | King_DuckZ: From what I can see in the archive, firstly, the Ubuntu package is in Universe which means it isn't maintained by Ubuntu developers, 2nd, it is synced from Debian. | 16:59 |
| R0SSI | ActionParsnip: http://www.pip-installer.org/en/latest/installing.html#using-get-pip | 16:59 |
| ActionParsnip | simong: its one reason why google is quite limited | 17:00 |
| TJ- | King_DuckZ: It'll be maintained by MOTU developers, but it doesn't look like that package gets a lot of love. The changelog doesn't indicate the package naming difference. http://packages.ubuntu.com/precise/libqtmultimediakit1 | 17:00 |

| King_DuckZ | TJ-: btw it really does look wrong that FintQt4.cmake says one thing and then it doesn't work... let alone it works elsewhere | 17:02 |
| MonkeyDust | may better ask in #ubuntu-server, i guess | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | b_technician: add the 'noauto' option so it doesnt attempt to mount it at boot, then add: mount /mount/point in /etc/rc.local above the 'exit 0' line | 17:02 |
| ActionParsnip | b_technician: fstab is processed before the network comes up so it will fail | 17:02 |
| b_technician | ActionParsnip: I understand the 'noauto' option, but how do I add this command to rc.local? I have never done such a thing. | 17:03 |

| ubottu | Package arpspoof does not exist in raring | 17:21 |
| dury | to advice, suggest | 17:21 |
| ikonia | DingDong: you can use a firewall in ubuntu | 17:21 |
| ikonia | DingDong: there is no need for arp spoofing though, so I don't know why you feel insecure | 17:21 |
| DingDong | Yes, I know. But its a basic firewall. | 17:21 |

| Marlenee | lord4163 : first apt-get update then apt-get upgrade | 17:21 |
| gordonjcp | DingDong: "personal firewall" software is stupid and pointless | 17:21 |
| ActionParsnip_ | DingDong: are you behind a router? | 17:21 |
| DingDong | Then why do people use a firewall | 17:22 |
| DingDong | Not really. ppoe | 17:22 |
| lord4163 | Marlenee: yeah that will update your software packages not the distro release | 17:22 |
| ikonia | DingDong: to protect themselves | 17:22 |
| OerHeks | Marlene, Lenny is not supported here. > "first, this is NOT a bug, and should *NOT* be reported. In that case,please add lenny sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list" | 17:22 |
| ikonia | DingDong: you have iptables in ubuntu which is an excellent firewall, so you can protect yourself just fine | 17:22 |
| fixxxermet | Hey guys. We're getting ready to release ZoneMinder 1.26 and I'm wondering who I should talk to about getting it packaged, or whatever else has to happen for Ubuntu to package the new version. | 17:22 |
| Marlenee | OerHeks : what is lenny | 17:23 |
| ikonia | fixxxermet: the packages from from debian upstream normally - get it into debian | 17:23 |
| reisio | fixxxermet: which version? | 17:23 |
| reisio | oh 1.26 :) | 17:23 |
| ikonia | fixxxermet: or build a PPA . | 17:23 |
| holstein | dury: i dont use google earth, and if its not related to your ubuntu software or drivers, you'll need to ask the maintainers of googe earth for support | 17:23 |
| DingDong | Thanks ikonia but would you mind telling me how to enable arp spoofing? Is there any documentation? | 17:23 |
| cblokland | Hi, I am having trouble with configuring the xorg.conf, I have four screens here, fresh ubuntu 12.04 installation and want 2 screens to be rotated, the current configuration should do this but it does not... Here is my xorg.conf: http://pastebin.com/073MJCWW | 17:23 |
| ikonia | DingDong: why do you need it ? | 17:23 |
| OerHeks | Marlenee, lenny is a debian release name. | 17:23 |
| fixxxermet | So if I get debian to package the new version, ubuntu will pick it up, makes sense. | 17:23 |
| reisio | fixxxermet: see the 'Maintainers' at http://packages.debian.org/sid/zoneminder | 17:24 |
| ikonia | fixxxermet: thats the idea, there are other ways, but that's the best way to get it into the base OS packages. | 17:24 |
| DingDong | Just cause I am paranoid | 17:24 |
| reisio | fixxxermet: oh yeah :p | 17:24 |
| ikonia | DingDong: yes, I understand your paranoid, but how will arpspoofing fix that | 17:24 |
| dury | holstein: what's the irc channel for that, do u know that? | 17:24 |
| cblokland | Anyone having a chlue? The system operator here isn't really experiences with Ubuntu so I am on my own here and this is not the type of configuration I do every day so a little bit of help will be appreciated | 17:24 |
| Marlenee | OerHeks : what can i do to upgrade the distro | 17:24 |
| fixxxermet | Thanks reisio / ikonia | 17:24 |
| * reisio still needs breakfast | 17:25 | |
| DingDong | I don't want to be a target of man in the middle attacks | 17:25 |
| ikonia | DingDong: arp spoofing won't protect against that | 17:25 |
| lord4163 | Marlenee: sudo do-release-upgrade | 17:25 |
| holstein | dury: for google earth? they might not have one.. probably dont | 17:26 |
| DingDong | I thought arp spoofing prevents arp poisining on my lan | 17:26 |
| ikonia | DingDong: no | 17:26 |
| wilee-nilee | lord4163, she may be on 10.04, and may be a desktop, get the info needed. | 17:26 |
| daftykins | lol | 17:26 |
| daftykins | DingDong: they're the same thing | 17:26 |
| ikonia | DingDong: is your lan using private address ranges | 17:26 |
| dury | holstein: right, ok thanks indeed | 17:27 |

| themanwithnoface | hey guys using ubuntu 13.04 and just installed cinnamon nemo. sometimes when i log in everything works but the Desktop b/g is black and i can't see any icons | 17:27 |
| ikonia | DingDong: really, you're whole lan is on public addresses ? | 17:27 |
| themanwithnoface | if i log in with GNOME and log out and back into cinnnamon it seems to fix it temporarily... | 17:27 |
| DingDong | I am not sure what you mean. I just connect the cable directly to the lan from the socket. It is a ppoe and fiber optics. There is no router in between. | 17:28 |
| d_paul | Having issues with sudden shutdown. Sensors give all temps around 49'C, but I have 1139 Thermal event interrupts. Any clues | 17:28 |

| DingDong | Also I noticed that after install updates on 13.04, the Ubuntu boot animation is missing | 17:28 |

| mossyfunk | I have usb bluetooth dongle. I paired with my phone and 13.04 freaked out kernel panic. On reboot it said something about firmware upload and took ages to boot now I only have 1024x768 resolution. Can someone please help me figure out what's happening? | 17:30 |
| DingDong | How about filtering ipv6? Does Ubuntu firewall does that? | 17:30 |
| ikonia | DingDong: yes | 17:30 |
| DingDong | blocking fragmented ips? | 17:31 |
| ikonia | DingDong: yes | 17:31 |
| DingDong | filter loopback traffic? | 17:31 |
| ikonia | DingDong: yes | 17:31 |
| themanwithnoface | also what's the general way to handle freezes and hangs in ubuntu?? hard reboots are a last resort right? | 17:31 |
| themanwithnoface | how bad is a hard reboot for your computer? | 17:32 |
| DingDong | So, all I need is to install Firestarter and enable firewall? All of the rest is automatic? | 17:32 |
| ikonia | DingDong: you seem to know a lot of networking terms for someone who doesn't know what a private address range is or a what a LAN is | 17:32 |
| ikonia | DingDong: you don't need firestarter, who said anything about firestarter ? | 17:32 |
| francesco_ | ciao | 17:33 |
| DingDong | Someone told me Ubuntu comes with firewall disabled by default | 17:33 |
| ikonia | DingDong: someone seems to be missleading you | 17:33 |
| ikonia | DingDong: it has iptables with a default set of rules by default | 17:33 |
| ikonia | DingDong: you can add/remove rules as you see fit | 17:33 |
| holstein | with no services running "out of the box" | 17:33 |
| ikonia | DingDong: how do you know these terms if you don't know basics like what a private address range is, or what a LAN is ? | 17:33 |
| ikonia | DingDong: what is it you REALLY want to do, | 17:34 |
| DingDong | Yes I know what is private address range and lan. I am just so confused right now. This is my first time using Ubuntu. I don't know how the fiber optics set top box works. | 17:34 |
| ikonia | DingDong: private address ranges and LAN are the same in any network/OS - so ubuntu has nothing to do with that, or add confusion | 17:35 |
| DingDong | I want to make sure, Ubuntu has same features like Comodo Firewall. I live in a very restrictive country with constant snooping. | 17:35 |

| minetape | cution: i used ubuntu's startup disk creator to create the flash drive, is there any terminal command i could run perhaps?perhaps | 17:37 |

| ikonia | DingDong: using ati/nvidia drivers from the vendor by any chance ? | 17:38 |
| TJ- | DingDong: The 'firewall' in Ubuntu or any other Linux-based GNU distribution, all make use of the Linux kernel's netfilters tables to provide firewalling. The userspace tools to control that can vary, but they all end up using the "iptables" interface for setting/getting the rules. | 17:38 |

| wtfasix | I've first tried gentoo and downloading some asix file, and yes I got back to first trying ubuntu. Still, modprobe asix works, it sees the LN-032 in lsusb but in lsmod it says '0' users of this asix module | 17:45 |

| k1l | Samul: gnome3 is actually called gnome-shell | 17:48 |
| ubottu | Samul: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic | 17:48 |
| saiarcot895 | Pricey: the ubuntu version is at 1500.71 | 17:48 |

| k1l | Samul: nope | 17:48 |
| Samul | what? | 17:49 |
| k1l | Samul: maybe you are on the fallback, because you dont have 3d | 17:49 |
| OerHeks | zangaroo, check your url and the url from ubottu | 17:49 |
| Samul | on Ubuntu 13.04 I installed GNOME3 | 17:49 |
| Samul | it was the same computer | 17:49 |
| Samul | how can I deactive fallback? | 17:49 |
| k1l | Samul: choose gnome-shell on login screen | 17:50 |
| Samul | there isn't gnome-shell | 17:50 |
| zangaroo | okay debain is 28.0.1500.95 and ubuntuis at 28.0.1500.71 | 17:50 |
| k1l | Samul: and male sure you got a video driver that supports 3d on your hardware | 17:50 |
| zangaroo | how are they the same ??? | 17:50 |
| TJ- | wtfasix: REgarding the LN-032, the driver for it was apparently only added to the Linux kernel March 2013 (commit e2ca90c), and therefore it is not in current Ubuntu kernels, but will be in a mainline kernel if you wish to try one from the Ubuntu Mainline Kernel project at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds | 17:50 |
| wtfasix | Samul: this fallback probably means your graphical card either doesn't offer 3d support or it is not recognized in X. | 17:50 |
| Samul | should I try upgrading to 12.10? | 17:50 |
| k1l | Samul: no | 17:51 |
| sideone | i would like to build a transparent squid box, that can report on ldap information. the box will run from vmware by a bridged interfaces. is that possible? | 17:51 |
| Samul | how can I fix that problem? | 17:51 |
| k1l | Samul: make sure gnome-shell is installed, its selected on the login screen and that its used (and not the fallback) | 17:51 |
| Samul | yeah but can I deactive fallback? | 17:51 |
| k1l | Samul: that is the wrong question | 17:51 |
| wtfasix | TJ-: Thanks! Is there any way I can manually get it to work? It does load an asix module although I can't make it pop the interface? | 17:52 |

| wtfasix | TJ-, I'm going to make it last resort if manual compiling of asix doesn't work. Because of what lacking kernel support would it not work using asix (or recompiled asix from that .tw site) module? | 18:00 |
| DingDong | Thanks ikonia. I saw that Ubunut have repo servers in this restrictive country. How is it maintained? Isn't that unsafe? | 18:00 |
| k1l | Samul: install gnome-shell, make sure video card does support 3d, choose at login screen. but im out of that ticket now | 18:00 |
| Samul | I've already installed gnome-shell | 18:01 |
| ikonia | DingDong: why would it be unsafe ? | 18:01 |
| DingDong | What if the gov. modifies packages? | 18:01 |
| ikonia | DingDong: they can't | 18:01 |
| Marlenee | holstein : what is the best this version = Ubuntu 11.04 x84 or this = Ubuntu 11.04 x64 | 18:01 |
| TJ- | wtfasix: 10 minutes to install the Ubuntu mainline kernel prebuilt and configured correctly. The kernel interfaces do change over time; building against 3.2 headers might work, but might need other support from more recent kernels | 18:02 |
| Samul | booh? | 18:02 |
| holstein | Marlenee: as the link i gave suggests, *all* 11.04 versions are EOL | 18:02 |
| xangua | Marlenee: 11.04 is no longer supportedf | 18:02 |
| DingDong | So, these packages before installed are check with Ubuntu main servers? | 18:02 |
| holstein | Marlenee: i would get 12.04 or 13.04 | 18:02 |
| ikonia | DingDong: they are gpg signed | 18:02 |
| MonkeyDust | Marlenee no longer supported, as in: "dead" | 18:02 |
| DingDong | Ok. So if there is a change in the signature it won't be installed? | 18:03 |
| ikonia | DingDong: I think you need to address your paranioa | 18:03 |
| wtfasix | TJ- Thanks alot! I'll try some more to get known to linux again and if it doesn't work I'll try your solution. | 18:03 |
| ikonia | DingDong: the gonvernment don't control the mirrors, they have no access to the gpg signing process, | 18:03 |
| Samul | would someone like to help me? | 18:04 |
| Marlenee | holstein : let say if i install one of them - then i want to upgarde it to latest verion of ubuntu can that be happen | 18:04 |
| DingDong | Ok. I will change the servers to US just to be safe before I install updates. | 18:04 |
| holstein | Marlenee: dont.. just get the latest version of ubuntu | 18:04 |
| MonkeyDust | !eolupgrades | Marlenee | 18:05 |
| ubottu | Marlenee: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades | 18:05 |

| King_DuckZ | so, creating symlinks around didn't help, even if I can trick it into thinking QtMultimedia is there then the build fails | 18:15 |

| King_DuckZ | although I must get it to work soon, I can't wait for the bug to be fixed :( | 18:16 |
| Marlenee | holstein : as i understand from page you paste about EOL ; i can upgrade from EOL version to latest version as iam right | 18:16 |
| TJ- | King_DuckZ: I read up on that issue. It seems that QtMultimedia is only in Qt5 packages. And from reading the Nokia documentation it seems that QtMultimedia is the low-level support, and QtMultimediaKit is the higher-level API. | 18:16 |
| holstein | Marlenee: why would you not just get the lates? there is no good reason to install 11.10 and upgrade.. | 18:17 |

| King_DuckZ | TJ-: then I don't understand why it works on 2 unrelated distros and why FindQt4.cmake makes mention of it | 18:19 |
| holstein | Marlenee: i would talk to the provider, or get a different one.. those are EOL.. and they are not "ubuntu" necessarily.. ubuntu is ubuntu.. you likely have a customized version that they will support | 18:19 |
| King_DuckZ | TJ-: I see most users on the internet reporting this issue are just hardcoding the -I/usr/include/QtMultimediaKit, which is so not portable | 18:20 |

| TJ- | King_DuckZ: The inference to be taken from that Debian maintainer's mailing-list post is that the name difference is to avoid a clash between an original "Qt Multimedia" and the newer "Qt Mobility" package | 18:24 |
| King_DuckZ | TJ-: look here: http://qt-project.org/doc/qt-4.8/qtmultimedia.html if you scroll down it says to do the QT += multimedia thing, but the link you reported earlier says it doesn't work http://qt-project.org/forums/viewthread/5348, hence the ugly hardcoded path workaround | 18:24 |

| blz | viktech, it might be an exercise in futility. I don't even know if there are still repos up for 11.10 | 18:26 |

Can't you implement that workaround I found earlier and conditionally alter the code path in the build script if being built on Debian/Ubuntu? | 18:33 |
| viktech | "ntfs-3g is included in the default Ubuntu installation, because the virtual ubuntu-standard package depends on it. " blz you were right though, 11.10 does not have native write support and the repos to get those packages are not up | 18:33 |

| TJ- | King_DuckZ: Actually, not quite accurate. "uname -m" will tell you the architecture of the Linux kernel, but it doesn't follow that userspace is the same. The kernel can be 64-bit but userspace is 32-bit | 18:57 |
| zykotick9 | King_DuckZ: technically that's not correct (that shows kernel, but you can run a 64bit kernel with 32bit userland), the real way is "dpkg --print-architecture" | 18:57 |

| tmmunq | reject is more 'polite' but it reveals to a malicious person that there is a server at that IP. for the second part, yes you can do it, but you need to define basic internet usage for you. you can block all incoming connections and set the policy for outgoing to REJECT or DROP+LOG. HTTP(S) at minimum, maybe ping, ssh, & ftp | 19:27 |
| Pici | Marlenee: Their ssh servers are exactly the same. It all depends on whatever else is going to be installed and if you mind that 13.04 will reach end of life sooner than 12.04 | 19:28 |

| sam_ | Unable to eject cd normally. Not even able to remove it from terminal. | 19:32 |
| sam_ | ~ # eject /dev/cdrom | 19:32 |
| sam_ | eject: unable to eject, last error: Inappropriate ioctl for device | 19:32 |
| IsaacLewis | hello? | 19:32 |
| skorasaurus | sam_ there may be a small hole on the outer cd drive slot. | 19:33 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: what happens if you run the terminal program, then type 'sudo apt-get update' (and enter the password when it asks) ? | 19:33 |
| skorasaurus | bend a paperclip and insert it in the very small hole. | 19:33 |
| skorasaurus | should be the size of a pin. | 19:33 |
| sam_ | skorasaurus: I already searched for it. It is not there. | 19:33 |
| IsaacLewis | it does what it normally does | 19:34 |
| IsaacLewis | daftykins: it does what it normally does | 19:34 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: successfully? | 19:35 |
| IsaacLewis | yeah | 19:35 |
| IsaacLewis | no errors | 19:35 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: so what were you trying to install any by what means? | 19:35 |
| IsaacLewis | but when I try to install software or use update manager or synaptic it won't let me do it | 19:35 |
| daftykins | any = and | 19:35 |
| IsaacLewis | I was trying to install updates | 19:36 |
| daftykins | what happens upon running update manager? | 19:36 |
| maheanuu | tmmunq, http://paste.ubuntu.com/5982392/ | 19:36 |
| streulma | IsaacLewis: the programs cannot be opened at the same time, if updae manager opened, close synaptic | 19:36 |
| IsaacLewis | It opens normally but when I click install updates it doesn't do anything | 19:36 |
| IsaacLewis | they're not | 19:36 |
| streulma | IsaacLewis: better is to close al and do an update from Synaptic (check updates and then mark, and apply) | 19:37 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: try running the update manager from within a terminal to see if it is getting stuck at a given issue | 19:37 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: otherwise you could just update via command line and see if it goes away | 19:37 |
| IsaacLewis | how do I open it via terminal? | 19:38 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: "update-manager" at a guess, i don't know the name | 19:38 |
| IsaacLewis | I mean what's the command? | 19:39 |
| === Rojod|work is now known as RojoD | ||
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: oh, 'sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' | 19:40 |
| maheanuu | tmmunq, did you see the paste for the command I pasted? | 19:40 |
| Luzbelito | Hello, im running ubuntu 13.04, and do not know why ive lost any interaction with the windows. compiz crashed, and dont have dash or upper panel | 19:40 |
| === Varazir_ is now known as Varazir | ||
| Luzbelito | i'vae googled and tried several suggestions, but nothing yet | 19:41 |
| Luzbelito | any idea? | 19:41 |
| daftykins | is a restart not an option? | 19:41 |
| sam_ | I solved it. I was able to eject the CD. the command I used was sudo eject -r . | 19:42 |
| maheanuu | tmmunq, I completely removed Windoze8 from the maching and am only running 12.04.2LTS | 19:42 |
| ayoub | hi | 19:42 |
| tmmunq | im guess its this one, 02:00.0 Network controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. Device 8723 | 19:43 |
| tmmunq | it looks like the driver isn't identifying it correctly, it might not be supported yet | 19:44 |
| maheanuu | I am having a problem with my laptop not recognizing my wireless modem running under Ubuntu 12.04.2LTS , the computer is a Model S875 and windoze8 has been totally removed and the disk reformatted and running only Ubuntu 12.04.2 | 19:46 |
| maheanuu | tmmunq, sorry I didn't see your posts, how do I report this, or find drivers for the puter | 19:47 |
| daftykins | maheanuu: google for a guide on installing a driver for the 'realtek 8723' | 19:48 |
| maheanuu | I talked to Toshiba and they were perfectly willing to reinstall Windoze8, but I said no Thanks I would run Cat5 till Hell froze over before I would run Doze | 19:49 |
| Vivekananda | hey everyone I run eclipse juno ( not installed) on 12.04. on building a hello world dynamic web app and opening a browser to see it eclipse crashes. Where so I look for the dump files ? | 19:49 |
| IsaacLewis | maheanuu: please stop calling it windoze8 | 19:49 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: it's not that big a deal ;) is the CLI upgrade working? | 19:50 |
| IsaacLewis | daftykins: it says it's still going to take 40 mins | 19:50 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: i think a java/eclipse channel would be a little more relevant than here | 19:50 |
| Luzbelito | hello. I'm running ubuntu 13.04. When I boot the system a log appears: No System Tray Detected on This System. exiting. | 19:51 |
| Luzbelito | And from there i got no dash nor upper panel | 19:51 |
| Luzbelito | I've googled but could'nt find any real solution | 19:51 |
| Vivekananda | daftykins: yes I know but it is not the eclipse .log I am looking for coz I already got that. I am looking for the core dump linux files when the eclipse crashed. Should I ask that there too ? | 19:51 |
| daftykins | Luzbelito: did you install some HP drivers? | 19:52 |
| maheanuu | IsaacLewis, Sorry I didn't mean to offend you, I just don't like crap OS's | 19:52 |
| Luzbelito | I've got hplip running without problem | 19:52 |
| daftykins | Luzbelito: look here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/101828/no-system-tray-detected-on-this-system | 19:52 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: it wouldn't hurt | 19:53 |
| IsaacLewis | maheanuu: I just have a hate for things that are spelled wrong, I think windows 8 is horrible too | 19:53 |
| daftykins | Vivekananda: also ask about running eclipse in a terminal to watch for any debug output when it crashes | 19:53 |
| maheanuu | I don't spell it wrong except for derision | 19:54 |
| Luzbelito | daftykins, how can I open that file for edition? | 19:54 |
| IsaacLewis | okee | 19:54 |
| daftykins | Luzbelito: "sudo nano /file/" | 19:54 |

| Marissa | 256 MB | 19:58 |
| icelite | hello | 19:59 |

| Marissa | *just the 1 | 20:00 |

| Marissa | but it's such a pain to reboot every time I have to run apt-get | 20:00 |
| Luzbelito | but I really want the unity back | 20:01 |
| daftykins | Marissa: i'd reboot, fully apt-get dist-upgrade, then see if it goes away | 20:01 |
| Marissa | ok, i'll try that | 20:01 |
| Marissa | thanks, brb! | 20:01 |

| juniour | ?? | 20:05 |
| IsaacLewis | like a flash drive? | 20:05 |

| daftykins | Luzbelito: what do you mean by 'knew the route' - do you need help with how to make that change? | 20:07 |
| daftykins | juniour: is there a little sliding tab on it to set the write protect? | 20:08 |
| Luzbelito | please! | 20:08 |
| juniour | daftykins no switch is there, i checked already | 20:08 |

| daftykins | Luzbelito: ah i see what you mean. type "sudo updatedb" then enter your password, then after that type "locate hp-systray" | 20:12 |
| drcooper | reisio, been throught that list. Hauppauge cards are not available where I live and avermedia drivers have problems with 3.x kernel as far as i could gather | 20:12 |
| MonkeyDust | juniour I used Startup Disk Creator to erase the disk | 20:12 |
| juniour | MonkeyDust ohh | 20:12 |
| sahil | this is weird..i have two wine directory... .wine and wine...dicovered it just now when i installed an app that was not in the wine directory but when i browsed via "browse c drive" of wine ,which in turn took me to .wine diectory the application was present....clicking ctrl+h showed .wine and wine existing together... :/ | 20:13 |
| juniour | les t metry | 20:13 |
| reisio | drcooper: that's nice | 20:13 |
| Luzbelito | sudo update | 20:13 |
| drcooper | sahil directories starting with a dot are hidden ones | 20:13 |
| drcooper | .wine is where the so called c drive directory is along with wine configs | 20:14 |
| juniour | MonkeyDust when i clicked on erase, it says file system on read only mode, any idea | 20:14 |

| nl287 | juniour: in xubuntu works | 20:15 |
| juniour | nl287 what?? | 20:15 |
| drcooper | junior, can you open a terminal, issue "mount" command and get the output? | 20:16 |
| sahil | yes i know...shouldnt they be the same thing.. i mean by default wine directory is hidden = .wine. i explicitly removed the dot to make it visible few week ago. now some apps were missing from the wine directory when i enabled show hidden files it revealed another "hiddden " wine directory co existing with not hidden wine directory...new apps are getting installed in the hidden directory... | 20:16 |
| minidino | My partition table is messed up. However, the data should still be fine and I know where at least some of the partitions are supposed to start/end. If use dd to copy the section of the disk that should be an extended partition would I be able to then mount this image? I don't know a lot about how extended partitions work. | 20:16 |
| nl287 | juniour: on xubuntu there is not protection | 20:16 |
| daftykins | sahil: you can't rename .wine - that will break it. it needs to be called that | 20:16 |
| Marissa | daftykins: are you still there? I just upgrade to 12.04.2 and still all my memory is in the cache | 20:16 |
| drcooper | sahil wine the program expects the .wine directory | 20:16 |
| Marissa | and it doesnt want to give it to apt-get either | 20:16 |
| sahil | i just removed the DOT | 20:16 |
| sahil | to make it visible :o | 20:17 |
| daftykins | Marissa: if you don't have much stuff on that VPS - is reinstalling from scratch an option? | 20:17 |
| drcooper | sahil, renaming wont make wine use that directory | 20:17 |
| Cyrax | Where can i find a complete guide how to make a irc server on ubuntu? | 20:17 |
| nl287 | juniour: u need to install xubuntu | 20:17 |
| Marissa | I just reinstalled today | 20:17 |
| Marissa | i had the problem before a reinstall too | 20:17 |
| daftykins | Marissa: really? so it's got practically nothing on it? | 20:17 |
| drcooper | if u want a visible wine directory, make a symlink | 20:17 |
| Marissa | it has my irc on it, which will take a while to setup again | 20:17 |
| daftykins | Marissa: who is this VPS hosted with? have you tried asking them about it? | 20:17 |
| Marissa | i havent tried to ask them yet | 20:18 |
| elderx | nl287: what xubuntu has to do with write protection ? | 20:18 |
| Marissa | is it possible that this is something only they can fix? | 20:18 |
| juniour | drcooper take a look output of "mount" http://pastebin.com/0A5ns15m | 20:18 |
| Marissa | their ubuntu has other weird stuff, like mysql doesnt want to install | 20:18 |
| daftykins | Marissa: can you pastebin a 'free -m' ? | 20:18 |
| sahil | <drcooper><daftykins> all right so wine directory needs to remain hidden indirectly...i get it..so how should i merge both the directory? considering 90% stuff is same ? | 20:18 |
| nl287 | elderx: i'm not sure but works | 20:19 |
| Marissa | http://pastebin.com/M7LUrap3 | 20:19 |
| nicofs | I need help with my screen resolution... please help. I need to add one but it fails... | 20:19 |
| daftykins | Marissa: i guess it depends what setup they're using to understand more what's wrong | 20:19 |
| juniour | drcooper ??? | 20:19 |
| nl287 | elderx: maybe DRM? | 20:19 |
| sahil | <nicofs> more info please | 20:19 |
| eph3meral | so I've got a VPN that my mac connects to just fine, but my Ubuntu box with (seemingly) the same credentials says connection failed | 20:20 |
| Marissa | there just a ton of memory in the cache that for some reason doesnt go to apt-get when i need in | 20:20 |
| daftykins | Marissa: i think something else is going on. have a quick read of www.linuxatemyram.com | 20:20 |
| anomaly | I have TCPKeepAlive active, but seems my ssh connections are still timing out. the internet on either end is functional. what am I missing? | 20:20 |

| Cyrax | How do I set up a irc server on ubuntu? any complete guide for that? | 20:22 |
| Ari-Yang | not sure, something you have to google, Cyrax | 20:22 |
| drcooper | junior output of "cat /etc/fstab" | 20:22 |
| juniour | Cyrax install a irc client | 20:22 |
| Ari-Yang | depends on what your using to setup an irc server, doubt what OS you're doing it on matters. | 20:22 |
| thestoner | cyrax lmao beast name bro | 20:23 |
| _Trullo | cyrax; https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/irc-server.html | 20:23 |
| Ari-Yang | juniour, he means irc /server/ | 20:23 |
| Ari-Yang | .__. | 20:23 |
| TJ- | Cyrax: "apt-cache search ircd" will list several IRC servers | 20:23 |
| juniour | ohh | 20:23 |
| drcooper | sahil you will have to copy over your c drive folders into .wine | 20:23 |
| nicofs | sahil, that only works in part. if i maximise any window now, it's still 1920px wide and goes beyond my screen... | 20:23 |
| daftykins | Marissa: there's definitely something quirky going on there. i'd backup my quassel config if i were you and then ask the VPS company what's going on - maybe they have some guides on their website as to things that have to be done with their VPS' though? | 20:23 |
| drcooper | sahil then create a symlink to .wine directory called Wine | 20:23 |
| juniour | ?? | 20:23 |
| juniour | anyone have issue on write-procetion?? | 20:24 |
| Cyrax | no no.. not that.. i mean a guide how to set one up | 20:24 |
| drcooper | junior give me "cat /etc/fstab" | 20:24 |
| daftykins | Cyrax: i'm sure google will present plenty | 20:24 |
| TJ- | Cyrax: configuration will depend upon *which* ircd you install. Read its installation guide, which will be with the installed package | 20:25 |
| sahil | <drcooper> former will be a better idea..anyway is there any provison of"merging directory" via cli ? just asking for knowledge | 20:25 |
| TJ- | Cyrax: Basic documentation for all installed packages gets installed in /usr/share/doc/<package-name>/ there is usually a README and/or INSTALL guide, at a minimum | 20:26 |
| sahil | nicofs> whats your monitors native resolution | 20:26 |

| daftykins | juniour: pastebin 'df -h' and 'ls -l /media' please | 20:30 |
| TJ- | juniour: At what level is the write-protect? Is it a hardware switch? A file-system mounted with read-only option? Permissions within a file-system only being read-only ? | 20:30 |
| IsaacLewis | daftykins: it finished | 20:30 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: there may well be a new kernel installed to reboot into | 20:31 |

| daftykins | IsaacLewis: can you pastebin the lot? | 20:31 |
| IsaacLewis | sure | 20:31 |
| juniour | TJ- idont find any switch in the flash drive | 20:31 |
| IsaacLewis | what was the link to pastebin something again? | 20:31 |
| daftykins | drcooper: how did you get from a flash drive not being writable to questioning his root filesystem? fstab's entry is normal. also you're not tab completing his nick | 20:32 |
| nicofs | Is anyone apt in nvidia driver/settings issues? I have issues setting my display to a specific resolution. I really need help with that... | 20:32 |

| daftykins | IsaacLewis: paste.ubuntu.com or pastebin.com | 20:34 |
| drcooper | daftykins, his mount output only lists one hard disk device /dev/sda3. I assumed thats the disk with the problem. http://pastebin.com/0A5ns15m | 20:34 |

| IsaacLewis | 12.04 | 20:36 |
| Marissa | heh, apache is still there in top | 20:36 |
| daftykins | ah just same hostname then | 20:36 |
| deckard_ | hello, security question here. I posted an image of my desktop any only after doing so realised it shows my user name "deckard" in the top right. Is this info that could ID me? | 20:36 |
| daftykins | Marissa: "sudo service apache2 stop" ? | 20:36 |
| Marissa | i did that.. | 20:36 |
| Marissa | but service apache2 status said it was running again | 20:36 |
| TJ- | juniour: You need to be more specific on what you are trying to do. Is the USB flash drive plugged in now? does it contain just data files or did the PC boot the operating system from it? | 20:36 |
| daftykins | deckard_: not since i could guess it from your IRC nickname... | 20:36 |
| deckard_ | okay but if they didnt have IRC? | 20:36 |
| deckard_ | can just that name do anything? | 20:37 |
| juniour | TJ- yep | 20:37 |
| Pici | deckard_: no | 20:37 |
| daftykins | then they'd only need your password, so as long as it's not 'deckard' too... ;) | 20:37 |
| TJ- | juniour: "yep" to what? | 20:37 |
| deckard_ | like could they use that name to start attacks? | 20:37 |
| deckard_ | k, ty | 20:37 |
| juniour | TJ- it contains only some data | 20:37 |
| daftykins | Marissa: hrmm 'sudo killall apache2' ? | 20:37 |
| IsaacLewis | daftykins: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5982575/ | 20:37 |

| TJ- | juniour: OK. Let's see what you've got connected then. pastebin the result of "ls -l /dev/disk/by-id/" | 20:37 |
| juniour | TJ- it si pluged in now nad only have data no filesystem related data | 20:37 |
| Marissa | so my Apache is broken | 20:38 |
| Marissa | awesome | 20:38 |
| daftykins | IsaacLewis: 'sudo apt-get -f install' ? | 20:38 |
| daftykins | Marissa: have you done anything with apache since you reinstalled the VPS cleanly? | 20:38 |
| Marissa | no | 20:38 |
| Marissa | not at all | 20:38 |
| daftykins | interesting | 20:38 |
| daftykins | 'top' now? | 20:39 |
| IsaacLewis | daftykins: it says E: Sub-process /usr/bin/dpkg returned an error code (2) again | 20:39 |
| Marissa | i reinstalled the VPS, installed lamp-server using tasksel, and didnt touch anything | 20:39 |

| Marissa | they might just be really bad at supporting ubuntu | 20:39 |
| Marissa | it came with CentOS | 20:39 |
| juniour | TJ- /dev/sdb1 for flash drive | 20:40 |
| juniour | TJ- is a 4gig sanDisk flash drive | 20:40 |
| daftykins | Marissa: their VPS tech might have real issues with it. ah ok, so they might not officially support ubuntu? | 20:40 |
| IsaacLewis | I have to go | 20:40 |
| IsaacLewis | baii | 20:40 |
| Marissa | I installed it using their control panel though | 20:40 |
| TJ- | juniour: According to this "usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Blade_200519426213ECB0A2E9-0:0 -> ../../sdb" the device probably doesn't have a partition table; it may not have any file-systems on it. Lets check. Show me the result of "sudo blkid /dev/disk/by-id/usb-SanDisk_Cruzer_Blade_200519426213ECB0A2E9-0:0" | 20:40 |
| daftykins | Marissa: what company is it? | 20:41 |
| Marissa | but then again, their control panel has Debian 4 and 5 which dont even support apt-get anymore | 20:41 |
| Marissa | daftykins: web-xtra | 20:41 |
| Marissa | they were cheap, so i guess you get what you pay for | 20:41 |
| juniour | TJ- no output | 20:41 |
| TJ- | juniour: OK, that just means there is no file-system on there. So, why do you say it is write-protected? What are you doing, specifically, that tells you it is write protected? | 20:42 |
| kutzu | what should i use to restart the network, network-manager or networking? network-manager doesn't config one of my eth properly and networking reports "stop: Unkown instance:" | 20:42 |

| daftykins | Marissa: mm, i have a VM running a wordpress blog that is consuming similar amounts but operates fine | 20:43 |
| juniour | TJ- i used gparted to format, may be it gparted has done something, but its still write protected :) | 20:43 |
| Marissa | it should work fine, your site mentioned that the cache should be freed once a program needs it | 20:43 |
| Marissa | but it doesn't do that apparently, at least when apache is running | 20:44 |
| TJ- | juniour: What program tells you it is write-protected? | 20:44 |
| daftykins | Marissa: yeah, although yours is spilling into virtual memory as well whilst mine doesn't | 20:44 |
| daftykins | Marissa: now that apache's ended, can you 'sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get dist-upgrade' ? | 20:44 |
| juniour | i cant delete file from it | 20:44 |
| TJ- | juniour: But there is nothing on it to delete! | 20:45 |
| juniour | TJ- wait rebooting my system comming back in minute | 20:45 |

| Marissa | might as well try again | 20:45 |

| juniour | TJ- you there?? | 20:49 |
| daftykins | Marissa: seems possible! i have a great one from bigv.io | 20:50 |
| Marissa | it can't be ubuntu's fault because it works for everyone else, it can't be my fault because i literally only typed the two commands from the official ubuntu lamp installation guide and it broke | 20:50 |

| Marissa | daftykins: do they have EU servers? | 20:51 |
| MonkeyDust | juniour he's probably not at his desk | 20:51 |

| juniour | MonkeyDesk i am tired of this flash drive | 20:51 |
| juniour | MonkeyDust i am tired of this flash drive | 20:52 |
| Marissa | i already paid for 3 months though, is my best option now to install centos (what they seemed to install at the start) and see if that works? | 20:52 |
| daftykins | Marissa: i think so yeah, wouldn't hurt (other than cost time) | 20:52 |
| === Companion is now known as companion | ||
| TJ- | Marissa: If it is a cheap VPS it is possible that the host's RAM is over-subscribed and that although your instance shows 256MB RAM with plenty available in cache, physically the host can't provide the memory when requested. | 20:53 |
| MonkeyDust | juniour i followed it a bit, are all the folders owned by root? then try deleting them with sudo or chown the folders | 20:53 |
| Marissa | TJ-: that's very interesting | 20:53 |
| Marissa | but why is it fixed when I stop Apache? | 20:53 |
| daftykins | TJ-: i'm not sure that's the case given... http://pastebin.com/290rvSkX | 20:53 |

| daftykins | Marissa: sorry i couldn't find a solution :( let me know how centos goes | 20:55 |
| Marissa | daftykins: thanks for your help anyway! | 20:55 |
| Marissa | either way, i learned so much about linux in the last few days and i'm free anyway | 20:56 |

| daftykins | ah :) | 20:56 |

| daftykins | whereabouts are you? europe i guess | 20:57 |
| Marissa | amsterdam | 20:57 |
| daftykins | ah ok | 20:57 |
| icelite | ah hows Holland Marissa | 20:57 |
| Marissa | i study computer science so it's very useful to learn this for me :) | 20:57 |
| daftykins | i'd ask what you study but they tend to get upset with off-topic chat here... | 20:57 |
| Marissa | icelite: rainy but Amsterdam is so pretty | 20:57 |
| daftykins | oh cool | 20:57 |
| TJ- | daftykins: Marissa: that 'top' output shows only 35MB free. Did you run "free -m" earlier? | 20:58 |
| Marissa | yes, that also showed only 35M free | 20:58 |
| Marissa | but like 200M in cache | 20:58 |
| TJ- | OK | 20:58 |
| daftykins | TJ-: yeah so i don't think it's over-subscription but some other issue | 20:58 |
| Marissa | it might be that their VM software doesnt support ubuntu | 20:59 |
| Marissa | i used to run vm box, that had issues with ubuntu as well | 20:59 |
| Marissa | but that was with unity | 20:59 |
| TJ- | daftykins: I've seen it before with OpenVZ based VMs; the host is deliberately configured to over-commit its RAM. Phyiscally it might have 32GB but the total allocated for VMs is (say) 40GB | 20:59 |
| icelite | Marissa, are you on a desktop or laptop ? | 20:59 |
| TJ- | Marissa: A VM is a VM, it doesn't care what is running inside it | 21:00 |
| willows | Hey, I noticed that /lib/modules/ is taking up a lot of space. It seems that this is where kernels are kept. Would I be ok to delete all but the 2 most current? | 21:00 |
| juniour | out of luck | 21:00 |
| Marissa | right now on a desktop with Windows 8, but we're talking about Ubuntu server 12.04 | 21:00 |
| daftykins | TJ-: could it be not running a specific kernel variant, if that's how openvz works? | 21:00 |
| TJ- | willows: Yes, that is a sane step | 21:00 |
| icelite | ah ok | 21:00 |
| juniour | TJ- ithink its hardware faliure for my flash drive | 21:01 |
| TJ- | Marissa: Do you know what hypervisor is being used? VZ, Xen, KVM, etc... ? | 21:01 |
| TJ- | juniour: Is there anything on that device you can't afford to lose? | 21:01 |
| Marissa | what is a hypervisor? | 21:01 |
| * TJ- facepalms ... students these days! :D ... that's the code that manages the separation of the host into virtual machines | 21:02 | |
| daftykins | Marissa: he basically means to find out what virtualisation tech they're using. 'cat /proc/cpuinfo' might give a clue | 21:02 |
| willows | TJ-: thanks for the reply | 21:02 |
| daftykins | TJ-: they gotta start somewhere ;) | 21:02 |

| daftykins | Marissa: ah ok that's not giving it away. | 21:04 |
| TJ- | juniour: If that works... which you'll know if the command doesn't exit immediately, will show you can write to the device | 21:05 |
| daftykins | TJ-: know a good approach to identify the virt tech in use for Marissa's VPS? | 21:05 |
| Marissa | daftykins: hold on, they have three logos on their vps site | 21:06 |
| Marissa | xen, openvz and kvm | 21:06 |
| saleem | !kernel | 21:06 |
| ubottu | The core of Ubuntu is the Linux kernel: see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel - You shouldn't have to compile your own, and if you need to troubleshoot issues, you can try a !Mainline kernel instead, but if you insist, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Kernel/Compile (see also !Stages) | 21:06 |
| Marissa | so it's one of these | 21:06 |
| daftykins | Marissa: do any of those names occur in the output from 'uname -a' ? | 21:06 |
| Marissa | when i go to the control panel, it has a strange logo under "type" that looks exactly like the xen one | 21:06 |
| TJ- | daftykins: They all reveal themselves in special ways, there is a bit of code to do it but I don't recall its name | 21:06 |

| ixio2 | how can I troubleshoot a script not starting that I added to rc.local ? | 21:43 |
| ixio2 | I have chmod +x the rc.local file | 21:43 |
| djapo | who here drinks coffee? | 21:43 |
| ixio2 | <- | 21:44 |
| TJ- | ixio2: Did you add the call to it before or after the "exit 0" line? | 21:44 |
| ixio2 | before | 21:44 |
| tmmunq | try specifying the shell in front of the script | 21:44 |
| ixio2 | bash /home/ubuntu/mb_tcp_server/tcp_server.sh <--- like this ? | 21:44 |
| TJ- | ixio2: Is the script executable by all? does it rely on functions only available in a different shell (bash versus (da)sh ) | 21:45 |
| ixio2 | I can run it fine from my ubuntu user account | 21:45 |
| ixio2 | I run it in screen but they want it to start at boot | 21:45 |
| TJ- | ixio2: Does your script expect environment variables that aren't there when it runs at boot? | 21:45 |
| ixio2 | nah | 21:46 |
| ixio2 | does rc.local log somewhere? | 21:46 |
| ixio2 | and can I test rc.local without rebooting ? | 21:46 |
| TJ- | ixio2: So, maybe add "set +x" to the top of the script, and in rc.local add a trailing redirect to some log file? | 21:46 |
| tmmunq | does it work when you run rc.local manually? | 21:46 |
| ixio2 | aha..: /home/ubuntu/mb_tcp_server/tcp_server.sh: line 2: ./tcp_server/mb_tcp_server.py: No such file or directory | 21:47 |
| ixio2 | I need to somehow make it run from its location | 21:47 |
| TJ- | ixio2: You need to cd to the expected directory | 21:47 |
| ixio2 | kk | 21:47 |
| TJ- | ixio2: Or use absolute paths | 21:47 |
| ixio2 | ok seems to work.. rebooting to test | 21:48 |
| tmmunq | good luck | 21:48 |
| TJ- | ixio2: something like "cd $(dirname $0)" | 21:48 |

| nahledge | I am on a live CD boot of Ubuntu, I am trying to edit files on an SD card with an ext4 partition (The native OS on the machine is WIndows 8) | 22:08 |
| reisio | rurufufuss: to edit which startup? | 22:08 |
| nahledge | I need to move files from windows 8 to the ext 4 partition, i booted live ubuuntu, inserted card, nothing happenbs | 22:08 |

| nnyk_ | Hi, if i 'apt-get installed' a package and i want to install the latest from source, do I have to 'apt-get remove' the app first before installing the source version? | 22:14 |
| jrib | nnyk_: depends | 22:14 |
| nnyk_ | jrib: on what exactly? | 22:15 |
| stego | what should i do if i want to remove a program that i compiled from source? can i use apt-get as i normally do? | 22:15 |
| jrib | nnyk_: can you be more specific about what you are installing, how and why you are not using the repository version? | 22:15 |
| jrib | stego: depends on how you installed it. | 22:16 |
| JThomas1 | How do I find where a apt package was pulled from? | 22:16 |
| jrib | JThomas1: apt-cache policy will give you hints (maybe) | 22:16 |
| stego | jrib, configure, make, make install | 22:16 |
| jrib | JThomas1: apt-cache policy PACKAGE will give you hints (maybe) | 22:16 |
| nnyk_ | jrib: i have git installed and its version 1.7 and i want to upgrade to 1.8 | 22:17 |
| jrib | stego: try « make uninstall », read documentation, manually remove the files. Try those (in that order) | 22:17 |
| linuxliam | im looking for an IDE simalair to webmatrix | 22:17 |
| jrib | nnyk_: you're on 12.04? | 22:17 |
| nnyk_ | jrib: yes i am. | 22:17 |
| stego | ok, thanks jrib! | 22:17 |
| jrib | nnyk_: git is something that you should be able to find in a ppa or maybe even in backports | 22:18 |
| nnyk_ | jrib: okay, ill check for a ppa with the version i seek. | 22:19 |
| jrib | nnyk_: if you really need to compile it (or if you need to compile a different software), then you don't need to remove the apt version (if you want to keep 2 versions around) as long as you make sure it installs to /usr/local (or some other location that won't conflict with where apt likes to install things) | 22:20 |
| nnyk_ | jrib: by the way, am i right to say that i don't really trust all ppa's; is there a way the ppa's are verified? | 22:21 |
| === rick is now known as Guest66896 | ||
| jrib | nnyk_: you are right. You basically trust the author. Usually, I'll only use a ppa if it's the official repository for a project. You also have access to the source code if you want to vet it yourself | 22:22 |
| nnyk_ | jrib: alright...thanks, you've been a big help. | 22:23 |

| ReggieMan | zykotick9: What does out-of-repo and quasi-system mean? | 23:08 |
| zykotick9 | ReggieMan: "out-of-repo" = anything non-ubuntu. quasi-system, means i leave ONLY /usr as an only ubuntu/canonical directory. YMMV. | 23:09 |

| io | reisio, cuz it is ugly in my eyes when i see these things loading . | 23:40 |

| reisio | io: that would take some work | 23:46 |
| reisio | it'd be simpler to put up an image matching the login window after you've actually logged in, to obscure their loading | 23:46 |
