[00:00] there is a very very very nice conky theme-config tool listed at the postings on the webupd8 or omgubuntu site. it makes it easy to add some nice conkyness to your desktop [00:00] Hi guys a little question about CP command [00:00] !ask | checoimg [00:00] checoimg: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [00:00] * reisio considers !patience | histo :p [00:01] yeah he loves those bot commands ¬_¬ [00:01] I want to make a two way synchronization, Will this work ? : cp -vau /media/user/Main /media/user/Backup [00:01] !botsnack [00:01] Yum! Err, I mean, APT! [00:01] Hello all. I have a shell script that I would like to have executed when X starts (in other words, the script requires that X be running, but I would like it to run prior to login). Is there a way to accomplish this? [00:01] and then [00:01] Linuxfreak78: use /etc/rc.local [00:01] im installing 13.04 server in a VMPlayer, the install works and goes to the terminal login prompt, i login and get the prompt, where do i go from here. how do i run/install gui? [00:01] checoimg: what do you mean by two way synchronization? [00:02] cp -vau /media/user/Backup /media/user/Main [00:02] so maybe [00:02] cp -vau /media/user/Main /media/user/Backup && cp -vau /media/user/Backup /media/user/Main [00:02] Linuxfreak78: .xinitrc [00:02] checoimg: for synchronization use rsync. for 2 way sync use unison [00:02] why not rsync? [00:02] Babu_, The ubuntu-sever runs without a gui, but you can install a desktop I guess. [00:02] Linuxfreak78: oh yeah, thats better, xinitrc [00:03] Babu_: Why do you want a GUI on a server? [00:03] wilee-nilee how do i do that? [00:03] new to linux so not sure where to go after the install [00:03] Babu_: sudo tasksel [00:03] Babu_: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ServerGUI [00:03] Babu_: why are you trying server edition if you are new? [00:04] Babu_, why, and why 13.04 12.04 is longterm with 5years support 13.04 is a 3rd of that [00:04] because i want to play with LAMP (LAMP is installed) [00:04] Babu_: LAMP is not a toy. [00:04] i love LAMP [00:04] Linuxfreak78: what does the script do exactly [00:05] daftykins: You love PHP? You poor thing. [00:05] checoimg: hrmmm [00:06] you csn install lamp on the desktop edition Babu_ [00:06] jpds: it was a film reference but it seems it was wasted :( [00:07] daftykins: https://jeena.net/images/2012/PHP-The-Good-Parts.pdf [00:07] so i guess once i have LAMP installed and dont need a gui, where do i go from here? [00:07] obviously a complete noob [00:08] checoimg: think I'd just script it [00:08] Babu_: you could install a gui, or just do whatever lamp stuff you want from the bash interface or ssh into it from another box [00:08] jpds: i know pretty much nothing of PHP, happy to keep it that way too [00:08] Babu_: learn shell and bash fundamentals [00:08] ok, pointers? [00:09] you guys are great [00:09] thanks [00:09] !bash [00:09] The linux terminal or command-line interface is very powerful. Open a terminal via Applications -> Accessories -> Terminal (Gnome), K-menu -> System -> Konsole (KDE), or Menu -> Accessories -> LXTerminal (LXDE). Guide: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UsingTheTerminal [00:09] Babu_: Well, get a goal in mind that has to do with a LAMP stack, and then head towards the goal. It's hard to just play with a lamp stack without something in mind [00:10] reisio ; I dunno how to script yet , surely is dead simple though [00:10] how do i uninstall ubuntu OS [00:11] ok so i want to eventually get joomla to play with [00:11] tsongki : Go into Live CD nand install OS Uninstaller form PPA [00:11] tsongki: what is it you want to install? [00:11] i'll get the joomla hosted somewhere but wanted to play with it on my own first [00:11] dr_willis, my laptop has a misbehaving touchscreen that constantly clicks on random parts of the screen. I have a shell script that disables it when I'm logged in, but the login screen can still be very frustrating at times. I'm up for editing xinitrc as suggested, unless there is a better solution. [00:11] tsongki : a google search should tell you where the PPA is [00:11] !lamp [00:11] 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. [00:12] tsongki : I hear is a very good option [00:12] !joomla [00:12] joomla information can be had here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Joomla [00:12] im using compiz and when i use the volume upand down on my keyboard it shows a very low resolution picture of an icon..how can i fix it so thats its a high res icon..i think they call that icon the notify-osd.. i installed notify-osd-icons but still no luck [00:12] wait does that uninstall also the partition that ubuntu made [00:12] hellou [00:13] is problem my wifi atheros 9485 [00:13] is not up icon [00:13] checoimg: for i in foo bar; do rsync -av source/ "$i"; done [00:13] checoimg: where foo and bar are directories [00:13] helpme [00:13] checoimg: you need to test it though, rsync has tricky syntax [00:14] histo im going to switch to mint cinnamon [00:14] might not even be worth it for only two [00:14] rsync -av source foo && rsync -av source bar is actually shorter :p [00:16] fellayaboy: in the center of the screen or the top right? [00:16] Linuxfreak78: i doubt if .xinitrc is what you want. that would be a per-user file. and would only run after the user logs in. and even then. it wont run depending on what desktop the user selects. Best would be to have lightdm run the command. [00:16] Linuxfreak78: you definatly dont want /etc/rc.local [00:17] That's a thought. How would I get lightdm to run it? [00:17] check the lightdm configs and docs. it can do it. askubuntu.com may have a guide [00:18] Linuxfreak78: how do you disable it? [00:19] how do you disable all these join announcements in this window on irc [00:19] Are nVidia drivers OK on 13.10 yet? [00:21] jrib, I disable it using several xinput commands. I can give specifics if you need them (I'm happy to help if you need it because it drove me crazy!) === mgodzilla is now known as delta_punk [00:22] Linuxfreak78: if you dont need it 'disabled' at the login screen. your user could run a script to do the commands from their autorun directory [00:23] how do you disable all these join announcements in this window on irc [00:23] if you DO need it disabled. then you would want lightdm to run the commands. [00:23] is anyone else not able to right click on forwarded windows over ssh? [00:23] Babu_: totally depends on your irc client. I dont see any parts or joins or quits at all. ;) === delta_punk is now known as mgodzilla [00:23] im on the default web client in the browser [00:24] anyone know how to fix the low resolution problem in notify-osd [00:24] fellayaboy: which problem? [00:24] Babu_: look at its settings menus [00:25] well when i press the volume up and down...the icon is low resolution ...it looks ugly [00:25] hmm nothing ike that i can see [00:25] Babu_: and you may want to start usng a better irc client. [00:25] but i'll try something [00:25] hehe:) [00:25] fo sho [00:25] Babu_: the freenode web site client has options to hide part/joins. [00:25] reisio. when i press the volume up and down on my keyboard the popup icon of the volume is very low resolution [00:26] i think thats what im using [00:26] reisio im using compiz [00:26] qwebirc [00:26] fellayaboy: you mean it's smaller than you'd like? [00:26] Babu_: ask in #freenode or explore the settings more for it.. i dont use it. [00:26] ok great thank [00:26] thanks === linusoleander_ is now known as linusoleander [00:27] Babu_: you may want to use xchat for a gui client. or weechat for a text only client [00:28] dr_willis, that's what I've been doing. I typically log in automatically, but would prefer that the touchscreen be disabled starting with the login screen as I like to switch between desktop environments and it takes much longer to select the one I want when the cursor is 'clicking' in random places every second or two. [00:31] ? [00:37] !clear [00:39] Thanks to everyone for your help. At the very least, you guys have me started in the right direction. Have a good day/night everyone! [00:40] . [00:40] Hello everyone, Fritjof_Gabrielhere and i'm here and ready to DDoS. === sarcasticsimba is now known as vigs === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [00:57] Good night! I'm using Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) but the Personal Folder icon is with that old. Anyone know what to do to fix this? [00:58] !13.10 [00:58] Ubuntu 13.10 (Saucy Salamander) will be the 19th release of Ubuntu.

[01:01] exit [01:01] lol, whoops [01:01] How come my software center is screwed? The font is almost readable (all blurry) and the whole thing likes to crash [01:02] try making a new user see if its goofed up for them also readyjar_ [01:02] Hey, can any one recommend a clipboard manager of sorts? [01:03] stayonthehustle: of sorts? [01:04] not of sorts I guess, but a clipboard manager. :) === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [01:06] hi, I have a program that I wrote the source to. I'm compiling it and running it just fine on one platform [01:06] but then when I try to run it on anther it dies [01:07] can anybody help me find out why it won't even load the program? [01:07] hold on... let me the the gdb output [01:07] What's the fastest way to filter out all lines greater than a certain length with pipe input? [01:08] SuperNoeMan: Tried compiling for target platform? [01:08] readyjar_: I didn't migrate platforms [01:08] just machines [01:09] and yes, I recompiled it. In fact, compilation went without hitch [01:09] ... 1 sec, here's gdb output: [01:09] http://pastebin.com/unMm5Cj0 [01:12] Software center fails to launch now, this is the error: http://fpaste.org/31948/64427111/ [01:12] you're using dlopen on a library tht doesn't exist SuperNoeMan ? [01:12] it'll compile fine since the dlopen shit is runtime [01:13] ah is that it? [01:13] quick question: how do i install openssh from commandline [01:13] wow, how did you know [01:13] Fah: ^ also, then how to I install the dlopen? [01:13] Read the warnings [01:14] Could not load shared library symbols for linux-vdso.so.1. [01:14] Hi, what's the difference between Ubuntu core, Ubuntu server minimal install and mini.iso minimal install [01:14] yeah I wondered what vdso was [01:14] !openssh | kubunto [01:14] I tried to find what package it belongs to, but couldn't [01:14] kubunto: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage. PuTTY is an SSH client for Windows; see: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ for it's homepage. See also !scp (Secure CoPy) and !sshd (Secure SHell Daemon) [01:14] wting: sed -n '/^.\{80\}/!p' [01:14] wting: or whatever length other than 80 [01:14] Run ldconfig -v |grep linux-vdso.so on the working platform. Compare it to the other [01:14] Is this a 64/32 bit thing? [01:15] ubuntu core is a small, byok distribution that is basically just what is needed to bootstrap apt-get [01:15] !find openssh | kubunto [01:15] Also, where can I get a package list that doesn't include dependencies [01:15] kubunto: Found: openssh-blacklist, openssh-blacklist-extra, openssh-client, openssh-server, libconfig-model-openssh-perl [01:15] you will need the shared lib for the platform. Or you will need to set LD_LIBRARY_PATH to where the existing platform uses provided you have all the crap it's linked against [01:15] Fah: no, I don't think so [01:15] kubunto sudo apt-get install (package above) [01:15] trism: thanks! [01:15] Jeruvy: thanks [01:16] paddymahoney: Does ubuntu minimal have more packages? [01:16] hrm, i might be misleading you. I think that lib is pretty core to the kernel [01:16] kurtcoke cheers [01:16] Runemoro, They are all basically the ubuntu base, you have no commas in that question though so it is a bit confusing [01:16] Ubuntu server core is supposed to be a trim basis for like, vm images and small appliances and stuff. Runemoro [01:16] Runemoro: yes [01:16] Fah: that makes sense, but why doesn't it give a sensible error about what library it couldn't find in order that I could know? [01:16] Runemoro: It has the debian alternate installer, fits on a cd iso [01:18] SuperNoeMan: you're fighting with a library loading problem it seems. The compiler warnings/errors wont be much use I think [01:18] paddymahoney, wilee-nilee: Thank you [01:18] For clipboard managers: Diodon or CopyQ? [01:18] is ldd able to find everything it's linked to? [01:19] Hey there, I have Ubuntu 11.04 installed on my netbook and I would like to upgrade it without losing any data. I did sudo do-release-upgrade and for some reason it said no new releases found [01:19] not compiler warnings, but when you go to run the program without gdb [01:19] it just dies without any mention of a where or why... [01:19] is there any way I can do the upgrade from 11.04 to 11.10 then to 12.04? [01:19] SuperNoeMan: are you using dlopen? Or are you linking to libraries [01:20] anannie 11.04 is EOL. You'd do better to backup and do a fresh install. You could have issues with the upgrade [01:20] Runemoro np! [01:20] Heed groovy Jeruvy's words well, people [01:20] ^_^ [01:20] Thank daftykins :) [01:20] +s [01:20] Fah I'm not aware of dlopen explicitly [01:20] Jeruvy: I know. I'm afraid that a backup and a fresh install isn't an option... Is there any way at all to do that upgrade? [01:20] I'm building of a software library using Cmake [01:21] and it's loading .so files that are dependencies dynamically [01:21] anannie why isn't it an option? Older hardware? [01:21] SuperNoeMan: then yeah, that's defering to dlopen [01:21] ah ok [01:21] Jeruvy: Old netbook to be precise. Plus, there is a lot of data on this that I want to preserve, specific configurations etc. [01:22] Jeruvy: It's just going to be a pain to set it all back up [01:22] SuperNoeMan: dpkg -l each system and diff the output? You're missing binary libs that are needed at runtime but not compile time [01:22] !eol | anannie [01:22] anannie: 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 [01:22] anannie: fwiw 'sudo do-release-upgrade -d' might be what you're after [01:22] unless it's just been removed [01:22] jordan : already read that. [01:22] daftykins: That isn't working [01:22] SuperNoeMan: that's assuming all the files are owned by a package. If you manuallly installed stuff then you're going to have fun with find and diff [01:23] anannie: with the -d ? [01:23] jordan : Updated the sources.list and so on, it isn't working [01:23] yeah [01:23] you're out of options then [01:23] anannie: Please pastebin your sources.lst. [01:23] SuperNoeMan: the alternative is to link to the libs you need. If they're not present you'll get link errors [01:23] daftykins: -d stands for "development", anannie isn't trying to upgrade to a development release of Ubuntu. [01:23] The CD portion is commented out btw Jordan_U [01:23] Hi all. I'm having trouble with musicbrainz tag and cover art lookups while ripping out my music CDs with Rhythmbox. Can anyone help? [01:24] Is there a musicbrainz plugin that i can install? [01:24] Jordan_U: uh-huh [01:24] http://pastebin.com/3KdZghEk [01:24] ^ Jordan_U [01:25] anannie: You have apparently not followed the instructions at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades. [01:25] anannie not really an answer, but you don't have to upgrade. It may be better to leave it as is. Otherwise do a backup of all /home /var /usr then a fresh install. [01:26] Jeruvy: Using an OS without security updates only might make sense if you're not going to be connected to the internet. [01:26] I also have this odd problem where installing rhythmbox doesn't set up an icon in the HUD. I can still run it through the terminal though [01:27] Jordan_U: Erm, it told me to insert such and such sources to that and they were already there, so I didn't really see the point in doing so [01:27] Jordan_U true, but it beats breaking everything. [01:27] Fah: well I don't want to link against them if I have to change source [01:27] if it is a compilation step I need, then I can go with that [01:27] Jordan_U: Ah it was old-releases not archive. sorry about that. Will change that [01:28] also, Fah: I just added the libs to the LD_LIBRARY_PATH [01:28] and it still dies without ever revealing why... [01:28] SuperNoeMan:same error in gdb? [01:28] SuperNoeMan: when you run ldd on the libs, are they missing any deps? [01:29] yes [01:29] ldd? [01:29] Jeruvy: Risking your data, or risking becomming part of a botnet is in my opinion not better than "breaking everything". [01:29] ldd shows shared library dpes [01:29] deps [01:29] i hace a huge problem [01:29] have [01:30] Jordan_U I don't share your opinion, but I respect where your going. [01:30] something went wrong with Ubuntu all restarted like the GUI then I rebooted and my laptop says no is installed then tries booting a live CD and it does not detect my hard drive what happened?!?!?!?! [01:30] well I ran ldd on my own [01:30] anannie: No problem. Good luck with the upgrade and be sure to have rescue media at hand in case something goes wrong. [01:30] and I don't know if it's missing any libs... [01:30] how can I recursively check [01:30] niCe: what are you typing from now? [01:30] run ldd on the *.so fils you added to LD_LIBRARY_PATH and look for "Not found" [01:30] Jordan_U: I usually eye ball stuff and I spot errors, but in my head somehow archives became old-releases and so on [01:31] niCe: It sounds like your hard drive, or possibly the motherboard or just a cable, died. [01:31] Jordan_U: Thanks for spotting that and apologies if I wasted your time [01:31] ah ok [01:31] thanks Fah [01:31] anannie: No problem, it happens to all of us :) [01:32] join #rhythmbox [01:33] BlitzHere, /j #rhythmbox [01:33] it happened once and I solved it mounting the hard drive from live CD [01:33] but now is not there [01:33] what can I do [01:33] SuperNoeMan: the man pages for dlopen, and ldd might help you understand the code better [01:34] niCe, Check the areas suggested might be involved. [01:34] wilee-nilee: Thanks, stuppid typo :P [01:34] ah ok [01:34] Fah: so far no, I don't see a single not found [01:34] what areas [01:35] niCe: what does 'sudo fdisk -l' in a terminal on the livecd show? [01:35] hold on [01:35] is it normal for a 2TB hard drive to take 8 hours to partition into ext4? [01:35] no [01:36] *usb hard drive [01:36] semitones: Maybe, But it still seems excessive === JZTech101 is now known as JZ|Zzz [01:36] No is not normal [01:36] USB2 should chug along at about 40Mb/s [01:37] I have a 2TB HDD [01:37] *MB [01:37] and when I partitioned it to ext4 it didn't last much [01:37] Hi, Does anybody know how can I have application server in ubuntu?

[01:37] I was using the gparted live cd [01:38] i just hope it's ok [01:38] daftykins no I am in my phone [01:38] hold on [01:38] Maybe you'll use the normal Disk tool form Ubuntu next time [01:38] semitones: it sounds like the usb bus is the bottleneck [01:39] I use it so I don;t make the partitions on super user [01:39] hi everyone.... === siva is now known as Guest8058 [01:40] Jordan_U: Hrm.

I noticed this because my audio stopped working.. Trying to troubleshoot this I entered the command uname -a in terminal and it outputed that I am on 3.5.0-37-generic. However, the most recent kernel in /lib/modules/ now is 3.5.0-36-generic. I don't really understand how I could be running on a kernel that I [02:43] I think that what I want to do is download 3.5.0-37-generic.. Any thoughts? [02:43] curatrix : ok, thanks [02:44] willows, Run a grub update to see what is there. [02:44] willows: you should be using apt to manage these things unless you installed your kernels without using apt [02:44] willows, if you remove a current kernel you're using, you are still using it from what I understand, until you reboot [02:44] willows, how I deleted my old kernels was with Synapitc [02:44] * Synaptic [02:45] i do suddenly remember i have to see why i got some (didn't write them down) Dpkg errors when trying to upgrade the kernal in oh dang .. wrong room [02:45] a .. different OS [02:45] keep forgetting [02:45] wilee-nilee: sudo apt-get update grub?

If we disable the masquerading, it can ping(visible) the hosts (PC1,PC2,PC3) from *7.x networks but it can't remote/connect to it. However, when we enable the the masquerade we can connect to it but it can't be ping(invisible).Any idea of what/why is this happened? [02:47] wilee-nilee, it lists -37 as if it's there [02:48] willows, You might have removed part of it, not an area I have had to fix, I'm very careful removing kernels, so can't really trouble shoot this. [02:49] i just upgrade kernels and leave the old ones in place [02:54] hmm either no one is typing after my last comment or i am lagging for some reason [02:54] its quiet atm [02:56] any way to get stubs-32.h installed on a 64-bit ubuntu installation? === Rez is now known as LoRez [02:57] oops [02:57] sorry Acce ... hit the wrong button in hexchat [02:58] lol [02:58] that was odd .. never changed mp3s to have it start transfering before [03:01] hi [03:02] Guest64600: There are over 1600 on this channel, let's hope they don't all say hi back.

[03:04] hi i have installed 13.04 in my laptop...now my question how to install java in it [03:04] However, after issuing 'start node_shortener', I can't find the process running as indicated by ps aux or forever list. [03:04] !java | Guest46849 [03:04] Guest46849: 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. [03:04] here is my script http://askubuntu.com/questions/332331/upstart-no-process [03:05] how can I start troubleshooting? [03:05] anyone? [03:05] krz pm [03:06] Ok, thanks for the help [03:06] willows [03:06] hey [03:06] pm me real quick [03:08] angela: Is that the configuration file? [03:08] yes, its the node_shortener.conf file in /etc/init [03:09] Xochipilli pming me highly offensive material [03:10] angela: Ok, well, here's how it works. Yes, you can put a config file in /etc/init and it can be something that the actual script refers to and uses, but the actual script would go in /etc/init.d/ [03:10] oh [03:10] angela: And you would then need to chmod +x it [03:10] lemme try that [03:11] angela: And you can just name it node_shortner [03:13] angela: So you might just need to sudo mv /etc/init/node_shortener.conf /etc/init.d/node_shortener ;sudo chmod +x /etc/init.d/node_shortner #And that may be all it takes. [03:15] usr13: but then I get start: Unknown job: node_shortener [03:15] angela: When you do ____________? [03:16] start node_shortener [03:16] Ok, I restarted my computer and chose to login with kernel 3.5.0-36-generic instead of 3.5.0-37-generic and everything seems to be working. [03:16] hello [03:16] angela: you had it right the first time, though I don't know why it isn't working, you could check /var/log/upstart/node_shortener.log to see if there is an error [03:16] oh okay [03:17] Hopefully I won't encounter any issues related to this in the future. [03:18] I have an issue with a program that I built from source not being able to load into memory [03:18] I don't know why it won't run... [03:18] http://pastebin.com/unMm5Cj0 [03:18] or at least, how to determine what exactly is causing it. Because the only thing it does is say segfault and core dumped [03:18] i have removed those packages （network-manager and network-manager) with the command 'apt-get purge network-manger*'） [03:18] silly question, what happens when I do stop "upstart_service"? [03:19] and then die. WHen you debug it, you find that it dies before ever getting loaded into memory [03:19] then i can't get internet [03:19] SuperNoeMan: i would try a programming channel.. [03:19] does it just kill whatever process that was created in the script section? [03:19] langhun: you can manually download the .deb's.. [03:19] holstein: well, I think the reason why it's not working is because of a new platform that I'm trying to get it to run on [03:20] Anyone here know anything about Pulse Audio Volume control? i got an issue with it [03:20] I had it on a different machine, and now that I'm migrating it's crashing... [03:20] i have down and installed [03:20] trism: I didn't find any error message [03:20] SuperNoeMan: i wouldnt know, and i dont have experience.. but, folks in a programming channel might.. i can say, nothing about ubuntu is preventing you from running your application [03:20] just a few logs that mongodb is already started [03:21] but it doesn't work [03:21] langhun: what doesnt what, friend? you downloaded what and tried what? and what isnt working? [03:21] holstein: how can you say that you know this much conclusively, when you haven't listened to the problem? [03:22] SuperNoeMan, what is the issue? [03:22] SuperNoeMan: i dont know much/anything about programming.. [03:22] holstein: it's not necessarily about programming, I don't know what the problem is exactly, and I'm trying to find it === darkapp is now known as coughcoughshansh [03:22] it could be a platform thing, it may not [03:23] Wulframn: [03:23] I'm having trouble with an application that I compiled from my own source. It's segfaulting before ever being loaded into memory. The program runs fine on another machine I have, I'm trying to do a migration and I'm having trouble finding the exact reason why it's failing === coughcoughshansh is now known as darkapp [03:23] SuperNoeMan: feel free and wait.. but you likely wont get help for that here [03:23] http://pastebin.com/unMm5Cj0 [03:23] that post is from when I run it under gdb and hit the seg fault === darkapp is now known as ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww === ewwwwwwwwwwwwwww is now known as darkapp [03:23] holstein: ok, well I don't know what it's failing for in order to attribute it correctly. So I'm going to try everywhere... === darkapp is now known as urnasty === urnasty is now known as darkapp [03:25] SuperNoeMan: try a programming channel.. otherwise, ubuntu works fine.. assuming you are using ubuntu, and its up to date, and funcitonal, the issue is with your application [03:25] SuperNoeMan, which app is this? You're building it under Ububtu? [03:25] holstein: well using ubuntu on the old instance [03:25] Wulframn: my own app. I wrote the source myself, but it uses several other libraries. I don't want to divulge source [03:27] SuperNoeMan: you dont want to "share the source" ? [03:27] SuperNoeMan, you previously built this under foo system and it worked, right? [03:27] SuperNoeMan: what libraries? are they installed and configured properly? [03:27] holstein: not at the current time, I'm using this for my Master's thesis [03:27] Wulframn: yes [03:27] that's what I'm saying, I think it's the migration that's causing problems because my application compiles without a hitch [03:28] in fact, compiling my application was the easiest part! [03:28] You know how when you connect to an ssh server for the first time, it says "this is it's host key, check if it's the right one?" -- Where is the host key located on the server? I want to write it down to make sure I know it's the right one. [03:28] SuperNoeMan, are you trying to build this under Ubuntu? Or are you migrating the finished product to Ubuntu? [03:28] angela: don't know if this is helpful: https://www.exratione.com/2013/02/nodejs-and-forever-as-a-service-simple-upstart-and-init-scripts-for-ubuntu/ seems to have an upstart example using forever [03:29] Wulframn: no, I'm migrating away from ubuntu [03:29] but it's all linux, [03:29] SuperNoeMan, I'm on my phone so forgive me if I'm missing something... You're trying to build this...where? [03:30] SuperNoeMan: does not seem like an ubuntu issue, check a programming channel or something for help [03:30] And yes and no, it's all...kind of Linux these days. =P [03:30] SuperNoeMan: sure, but this is not the "all linux" channel.. are you using ubuntu? [03:30] how do you deteremine what kinda video is an mkv file? [03:31] well whatever it is that allows it to work on ubuntu can be put on the other distro [03:31] subcool: mkv is a container, it can hold almost anything [03:31] I'm using an ubuntu variant on my original, and Arch on the one I'm migrating to [03:31] I'm just trying to find someone that can help me [03:31] SuperNoeMan, which distro are you trying to build this under? [03:31] SuperNoeMan: again, ask a programming channel [03:31] I've talked to the arch guys, they say they don't know [03:32] SuperNoeMan: then, seek support with that distro.. the spin off's like that can change things drastically [03:32] Ben64: I'm asking in C++, they are almost never helpful and are extremely winey [03:32] SuperNoeMan: that doesn't magically make it on topic here [03:32] ok [03:32] ok [03:32] SuperNoeMan: likely no one will know unless you want to find someone in particular and share *much* more information [03:32] holstein: how much is *much*? because I'm not divulging source [03:33] trism: a silly question, could the script not execute because I used /usr/bin/EXEC instead of the real path? [03:33] SuperNoeMan: whatever is needed.. [03:33] SuperNoeMan, which distro are you trying to build this under? [03:33] Wulframn: Arch [03:34] Ben64, is therea suggested player with most formats incorporated, VLC isnt doing it [03:34] well I already gave a paste of the gdb output [03:34] angela: not sure what you mean, what's the real path? [03:34] subcool: if you use mplayer or mplayer2, it will tell you which codecs are used for audio and video [03:34] angela: my first guess is some environment issue, the example in the link I gave sets a bunch of variables in the env [03:34] SuperNoeMan: try pasting that in a programming channel.. or install ubuntu and try it in ubuntu [03:34] k thanks. Ben64 [03:35] trism: I find /usr/bin/node point to /etc/alternatives/node, which point to /usr/bin/nodejs [03:35] and then it ends there [03:35] angela: oh I don't think that would be the issue [03:35] although it's weird that the exec is actually in /usr/bin/ [03:35] angela: If you are unsure whether the script is executable or not, look and see. ls -l [03:35] they are usually in their /etc/exec/ folder [03:35] SuperNoeMan, we'd love to help, but this isn't an Ubuntu issue. Further, all Arch can really do is help you make sure all needed libraries, compilers, etc are correctly installed and/or updated. Otherwise you need to take this to a programming channel, forum, Reddit, etc. They are probably going to need at least part of the source. [03:35] usr13: yes it's all x [03:36] angela: Then that is not the problem. [03:37] SuperNoeMan, also try #linux (make sure you're registered). =) [03:38] ok [03:38] Ben64, failed to recognize ifle format, thats the CLI VERSION [03:38] sorry. keyboard broken === viktech is now known as spin_al [03:38] subcool: so far, when vlc doesnt play it, its been an issue with the file [03:39] yeah, thats been my experience too [03:39] but i know i've played thismovie before [03:39] angela: you should drop the redirect to /var/log/nginx to see if you get an error from forever in the upstart log [03:39] trism: I tried start forever manually and it works [03:39] subcool: things happen to files.. [03:40] angela: no I mean to see the output from the upstart job, the env will be different so you may get different output [03:40] oh okay [03:43] you know how when you connect to ssh, it says, "this server might not be what you think it is, check the host key?" [03:43] how do you check the host key? [03:43] semitones: you ask the host [03:43] i am the host [03:44] semitones: then, if you can trust it, you trust it [03:44] trism: removed the pipe and log, still not seeing anything [03:44] except this line node_shortener start/running, process 14246 [03:44] i found some files in /etc/ssh, but they look longer than the rsa key i'm given [03:44] holstein, ^ [03:44] semitones: some files? you mean, keys? the keys we are referencing? [03:45] I don't know. they are keys, but i don't know if they're the ones that the message references [03:45] semitones: confirm if they are or not [03:45] angela: try adding to the script: expect fork [03:45] angela: so it follows the nodejs process and not forever [03:45] semitones: when they change, you can get that message.. locally, if i change servers with the same address, i get a warning,and blow out the key [03:46] !ssh | semitones [03:46] semitones: SSH is the Secure SHell protocol, see: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/SSH for client usage.

I'd like to ask a simple question: if I install a X program by simply uncompressing, is there a way to create a shortcut (or add it to programs list so that I can launch from unity)? [03:47] Can ssh accept ftp connections as well as sFTP connection? I was trying to find some info on this and I couldn't [03:48] deekattax: ultimately, yes [03:48] zanzacar: i have only done sftp [03:49] holstein: right so have I, I like sftp but for people unfamiliar with it its a pain. [03:50] zanzacar: its always a trade.. security for convinience... [03:51] right the need for FTP is only temporary so I figured I could enable and then disable it. But I guess if I can't then I can't. [03:52] /join #ubuntu-studio [03:53] noob me...

[03:55] hi [03:55] angela: no I mean that you are looking at the wrong script, it is further up the page [03:55] disk check every time i boot ubuntu [03:55] how to get rid [03:56] angela: its the one that starts with #!upstart (though that line isn't necessary) [03:56] ah, thanks [03:57] angela: it looks pretty much like yours but sets a few other options, and does forever stop in pre-stop instead of post-stop (so forever stops the process before upstart kills it I imagine) [03:59] hooray, it worked! [03:59] angela: excellent [03:59] thanks trism [03:59] angela: no prob [04:03] anyone know a reliable ppa for tmux 1.8? [04:04] subcool: pastebin the actual output [04:13] hi guys, due to a conflict with my nvidia drivers i find myself using a slightly older kernel, i was considering deleting the newer one according to these instructions: http://askubuntu.com/questions/106031/how-can-i-remove-new-kernel-versions-after-downgrading i just wonder if there is anything i should be aware of or maybe better ways to have it boot onto the kernel i want to boot === Khisanth is now known as Guest55283 [04:19] i've been using ubuntu for a couple days, and i really like it, but my eyes are bleeding from the fonts or something visual... coming from windows [04:20] cknoll, have you tried to reduce the brightness? [04:20] not yet, i just messed around with my monitor settings a bit, i will try that [04:21] thanks [04:23] Ben64, too late, i deleted it- thanks though! [04:23] Is this a place for general Ubuntu Qs? [04:23] Robert__: support questions, yes [04:23] Robert__: you can always check the /topic [04:25] My problem is easy to explain and impossible(for me) to deal with alone. Ubuntu will not install on my W8 PC. I have an empty, formatted drive for it, and I put the IOS on a flash and tell the PC to boot to this flash, PC sits and does nothing for a minute then shuts down entirely. Same with a DVD. [04:25] SO I can't even get to the install screen. I ahve used Ubuntu befor eon a second HDD but not on this PC. [04:25] sorry for sloppy typing, new keyboard, trying to adapt :P sucks balls [04:26] check the boot order in the bios? [04:27] Robert__: If it is Windows 8 (W8?) then is it using UEFI secure boot? If so, you may need to enter the UEFI BIOS setup and disable it [04:27] yeha i can get to ti attempt to boot from the USB/DVD no problem. It's after that is the issue. It just hangs then shuts down. [04:27] Yes it's Windows 8. [04:28] UEFI is a new term to me, how can I do this? [04:28] I am familiar with BIOS in general [04:28] !uefi [04:28] UEFI is a specification that defines a software interface between an operating system and platform firmware, it is meant as a replacement for the BIOS. For information on how to set up and install Ubuntu and its derivatives on UEFI machines please read https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI [04:29] Thank you! :) [04:29] Ugh did i just thank a bot? [04:29] Robert__: Secure Boot is what you need to be looking up. Microsoft made it a requirement for any PC carrying the "Made for Windows 8" branding [04:30] Well ti has that for sure I think, it's a Gateway and came with Win8 installed [04:30] * xmetal raises and shakes fist in the air at MS [04:31] Robert__: Some distros - Red Hat and Ubuntu - have their signing keys signed by Microsofts, so in theory the recent releases should boot on Secure Boot, but may not :) === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [04:31] Well Ubuntu didn't boot, but I can't say for sure that this is why. [04:32] what Irc client does Linux distros have ? [04:32] Is there a possibility that some hardware in my PC just isn't going to let me boot Linux? [04:32] icelite: access to many... different distros have different ones by default [04:32] ok [04:32] which one is the best? [04:32] Robert__: Yeah, you need to pin it down. Do you see anything on the screen before it powers down? Have you tried holding down Shift as the PC boots to enter the GRUB bootloader menu? [04:32] icelite: "best" is a matter of opinion. xchat is a popular gui one.. irssi a popular command line one [04:33] ok [04:33] !info xchat [04:33] I have not tried that, no. I can try that now what should I do if that works and I see a GRUB menu [04:33] xchat (source: xchat): IRC client for X similar to AmIRC. In component universe, is optional. Version 2.8.8-7ubuntu2 (raring), package size 348 kB, installed size 891 kB [04:33] I'm looking for a minimalist (preferably console only) live cd of hardy heron. I need the kernel 2.6.27 or older because it supports my "via" chipset. [04:33] !8.04 [04:33] Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) was the eighth release of Ubuntu. Desktop support ended on May 12 2011, Server support ended on May 9th 2013. See http://ubottu.com/y/hardy for more details. [04:33] !oldreleases [04:34] thinclient: see http://old-releases.ubuntu.com/releases/ [04:34] ubottu: Yes i already have the official desktop version of hardy heron, but i'm looking for a "console only" live cd. No X. [04:34] thinclient: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [04:35] thinclient: There never has been a 'liveCD' of the console. You can use the Alternate CD image, or the minimal/netboot [04:35] thinclient: hardy is EOL.. if you seach around you can find it, but its not supported anymore. i use 12.04 on my via hardware [04:37] TJ: OK..i'll try the alternate CD hope it detects my wifi only pc and boots from usb. [04:37] hmm is everyone in here getting the invites? or is just me? [04:37] xmetal: Not just you [04:37] thinclient: why? the desktop should boot fine.. did for me [04:37] xmetal, If your spammed in PM show it to #freenode [04:38] xmetal: Seems like there's a silent script-bot that spots any mention of that Redmond company or its products, and causes another client to send the invite [04:38] does anyone know the exact specific command to give a folder and is subs and files permissions for all users? [04:38] no .. not spammed yet ... only two a few minutes apart [04:38] ah ... that company [04:39] :P [04:39] I got "You have been invited to ##ComputerTalk101 by JRobo (wolfe.freenode.net)" [04:39] yes thats it [04:39] holstein i need the alternate cd image to boot from usb flash because this thinclient has no hard drive [04:40] I need to copy the iso to usb first and make it install to the same usb it boots from [04:40] under the brightness and lock section, the brightness is stuck on max, the slider moved but had no affect, and my hardware buttons have no affect, BUT if i reboot, while im on anything bios related, example password entry screen, my hardware buttons for brightness work, What can i do?, oh and while on bios i turn it all the way down, and os brings it back up [04:40] ubulost: "chmod -R a+rwx $DIRECTORY" [04:41] Prock81: What video graphics adapter is it? === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [04:41] how do i tell? TJ- [04:41] Prock81: If it's nvidia, I think you'll need nvidiabl [04:41] TJ: do I type the $? as in $/etc/samba/folder? [04:41] Prock81: "lspci -nn | grep VGS" [04:42] it used to work, stoped a while back [04:42] ubulost: You replace $DIRECTORY with the base directory you want the command to start working at [04:42] that command returns nothing [04:43] back :) .. was trying something in hexchat (xchat clone) and i didn't know if i'd be spamming to all channels [04:43] so i left [04:43] Prock81: hmm, the name string doesn't have VGA? OK "lspci -nn" and look for a line that suggests its a video adapter! [04:43] TJ: thanks [04:43] oh u put VGS [04:44] Prock81: doh! It's 05:43 and I haven't been to bed yet! [04:44] 01:00.0 VGA compatible controller [0300]: NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [NVS 4200M] [10de:1056] (rev a1) [04:45] Prock81: OK, yes, Nvidia. Same as me. You'll need nvidiabl which isn't in the unbuntu archives ... yet. I added some patches to it a while back, and it works well. You can find it at https://github.com/guillaumezin/nvidiabl [04:45] I'm trying to get fail2ban working, but when I check it's status in init.d, it says failed. Is there a way to see why? [04:46] semitones: take a look in /var/log/fail2ban.log [04:46] but my brightness used to work, what made it stop [04:46] brightness controlls [04:46] somsip, hmm arccording to that I don't see any errors. maybe it is working, and init.d is just wrong [04:47] * xmetal something tells me its not polite to ask "so ... your not that bright?" ... but i'[d think it'd be so funny [04:47] :P [04:47] semitones: is it running if you ps aux | grep fail2ban [04:47] somsip, on the other hand, the latest activity was 10 min ago [04:48] Prock81: Probably you were using the Nouveau driver and now are using nvidia proprietary? [04:48] dont know [04:48] somsip, yes, it's got one user proc and one root proc :) [04:48] well, no luck [04:48] which one is better, or at least has 3d support [04:49] semitones: can you trigger it to see if it blocks ok? Not sure about why init.d shows as it does [04:49] somsip, i'm at home now, so can't trigger it. tomorrow i'll try [04:49] Wondering if Ubuntu is worth all this hasstle [04:50] next time i get a chance i should download the new ubuntu iso and load it in vmware [04:50] Early tonight Linuxfreak78 was asking if there's a way to disable touchscreen input on the Unity greeter, to prevent false input. I sat down and created a custom-event package that makes adding all manner of custom event scripts for display, greeter, session, and cleanup really easy. If you want to try it you can find it here: https://iam.tj/projects/lightdm-custom-events/ [04:51] TJ- would u be the guy to mention the idea/feature to add to the launcher [04:51] Prock81: nope! I only did this as an exercise because it sounded useful! [04:52] i copied and saved that url .. .will take a look, even though Unity is not my "DE of choice" [04:52] oh and by the way my launcher is messing up again [04:52] i do try it sometimes [04:53] xmetal: I did it for the fun. Learned how to find the xinput devices and events and control them. I had my glidepad disabled whilst the greeter was on-screen and re-enabled when I log in. Kinda cute, for a touchscreen device === solid_li1 is now known as solid_liquid === solid_liquid is now known as CodeGuru === CodeGuru is now known as solidliq === Edgan_ is now known as Edgan [04:58] TJ- , anyone, my launcher used to scroll down and become all black excetp for 3 icons put up at the top, and when i bring the mouse to hte top it also scrolls down. i was told to delete configs, and that worked, now it works down and up except for the last icon on the top, the Dash, i have to drag down to that icon. and when my mouse is over the dash icon up at the top it scrolls down only one icon hiding the dash. [04:59] Prock81: !!! no idea, only problem I've had with it was at one time it wouldn't pop-out when set to auto-hide, no matter how 'hard' the mouse was banged against the screen edge [04:59] ive had that too, but i didnt like auto hide, was just tring it out [05:00] anyway to get teh unity tweak tool that 13.04 has, im on 12.04 [05:01] get the* [05:02] Hey, While installing the Airtel Mobile Broadband Software from the device which is a dongle , I am getting this error can some one tell me what is QGtkStyle and Testability plugin ?? here is the complete gist of the output while running the install file http://paste.ubuntu.com/5983682/ [05:02] Prock81: use the ubuntu tweak ppa [05:03] i thought i saw one but it was noting like what i expected, not the least little bit [05:03] just made my icond roundish and no config tool, and added some 2d somethings binarys [05:04] shafox: From that, it tells me whoever put that package together messed up and left in absolute path references to their development system [05:04] xangua so what is that ppa [05:05] how do I cancel a terminal action, like wget or ping to exit complety, and to be stopped and not shown in ps [05:05] TJ-: can I post the content of that install.sh file so that you guyz can take a look [05:05] shafox: You'd best ask the Airtel people, it's their mess! [05:06] TJ-: I asked the customer care and tech support have no idea what to do . And it runs fine with Windows and Mac not in any flavored of *nix [05:08] TJ-: this is the install.sh http://paste.ubuntu.com/5983740/ [05:08] shafox: Stuff I'm reading suggests you don't *need* the airtel driver. Check this out: http://askubuntu.com/questions/138253/how-to-connect-to-the-internet-using-an-airtel-3g-usb-dongle [05:10] TJ-: it connects fine but cant surf with this. it just shows that connection has established, but when i try to ping something lets say ping 8.8.8.8 it returns unreachable [05:11] TJ- would u be good at modifying and converting a grub menu to grub2 menu? [05:11] shafox: You may need to alter the connection properties then. I'm afraid I can't help you on that. There seem to be a lot of articles via Google search on configuring that for Ubuntu without using the AirTel dashboard software [05:11] Prock81: Grub2 will upgrade a Grub1 menu configuration [05:12] Hello! I have changed my password. The problem is that I can only access my encrypted home folder using my old password. Does anyone know how to update ecryptfs to use the new password? [05:12] ya, but they never show [05:12] Time for my breakfast, and take the Husky for a run around the stubble fields :) [05:12] TJ-: thanks though [05:14] l0p3n: see http://askubuntu.com/questions/38681/set-encrypted-home-passphrase [05:14] Prock81: https://launchpad.net/~tualatrix/+archive/ppa [05:15] Thanks TJ- I'll try that === lewq_ is now known as lewq [05:19] TJ- , anyone?, i have grub4dos on a usbstick with ntfs partition and a .VHD file 2Gig (virtual box hard drive image, originally set up in virtualbox) with windows xp on it.

NOW i want to add those grub menu items from the usb stick to my ubuntu grub2, But i want to mount the VHD from my ex [05:19] thanks xangua, but i cant restart at the moment [05:22] quit [05:22] Prock81: from your ex? [05:23] ex? [05:23] your msg was cut off [05:23] ill do a paste bin with the grub menu [05:23] and hte question [05:24] you should only have to tell your internal install's GRUB where your USB stick is [05:24] unfortunately that can change at random times, so to do it reliably you'd have to make a udev rule to give your USB stick a persistent name [05:30] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5983794/ reisio [05:31] already said all I can up there ^, I'm afraid :) [05:31] what u say [05:32] im not leaving the usb stick in, and i want to get hte image from my home dir ext4 partition [05:33] IaOrana everyone, I am at present running Ubuntu 12.02.2 on 2 Toshiba Satellite Laptops, one an older one which runs Ubuntu very well and a new S875-S7356 which is not up to par on the WiFi and the recognition of the hardware inside the box.

[06:40] what version of ubuntu are u using [06:40] __machine [06:42] ill do as the links say to better help you, aslo wouldnt mind fixing an XSS vulnerability any way [06:42] i do have to say that I may not need Lubuntu though i lide it [06:42] er like it [06:43] xmetal ... 12 fingers lamo [06:43] been using lubuntu for the last few weeks. its missing a few things.. but over all. works well [06:43] :P [06:43] i switch between DE (except for Unity) [06:43] all 4 fingers = 12 lol [06:43] w/e i feel like at the time [06:44] i wonder..getting no clue....although right corner shows celestia is "traveling" though its not... : [06:44] __machine: again, look at the changelog using aptitude's interactive mode. [06:46] <__machine> Okitain: im not familiar with aptitude interactive mode... i did try to view "installed packages" in there but there doesnt seem to be a security section or changelog section? [06:47] Changelog is only viewed for each specific package. [06:47] can someone assist with mounting a windows shared folder in 12.04? [06:47] You can press capital C to show it. [06:48] frostero: sure. What version of windows is it mounted from? [06:48] <__machine> Okitain: great... in there i can see security updates applied and CVE references... now i just need to find each affected package... can i search the changelogs somehow? [06:49] Okitain: Windows 7, I have mounted shares before from win7 but have never had this much trouble [06:50] same user/passwd for both the win7 machine and the ubuntu machine [06:50] mount dir created w/perms [06:50] frostero: you did set the users samba password? sudo smbpasswd username [06:51] i did [06:51] but i dont think that would affect accessing a windows shaer.. but the other wya around. windows accessing a linux share. ;) [06:51] yes [06:52] tried accessing it via the ip# not the server name? ;) how are you trying to mount the share exactly? [06:52] mount -t //ip/share /path/to/mnt/point -o username [06:53] er [06:53] mount -t cifs //ip/share /path/to/mnt/point -o username [06:53] mount.cifs //ip/share /path/to/mnt/point -o username [06:53] __machine: I'm afraid not, but you should know the names of the packages from the CVEs, and use the aptitude changelog to see the changes in the individual package. [06:54] have had error codes 13/22/115 [06:54] just have 13 now [06:56] perhaps just make a totally open guest share. and see if you can access that first> [06:56] trying to think of other 'tests' to try. ;) you have disabled tghe windows firewall as a test? [06:57] o crap [06:57] my secondary firewall could be causing the issue [06:58] holy redundant firewalls batman! [06:58] ;) [06:59] not my firewalls [06:59] remember kids, one protection isn't enough, better use two! [06:59] Hi, I had a problem with Ubuntu and now I must format my HDD. I'd like to recovery my files, but from LiveCD it says that I don't have permissions to view those files [06:59] how can I do? [07:00] celestia (GLUT) is working fine..but celestia Gnome isnt.. [07:00] Samul: access them as root with sudo rights [07:00] dr_willis: sudo nautilus? [07:01] Samul: hope you dont have an encrypted home ;) [07:01] I am having issues with several of my programs in Ubuntu 13.04 [GNOME DE] In the terminal, how can I generate a complete list of Packages? [07:01] no [07:01] Samul: yes. with whatever file manager, or cli tools you want [07:01] !gksudo | Samul [07:01] Samul: If you need to run graphical applications as root, use « gksudo », as it will set up the environment more appropriately. Never just use "sudo"! (See http://psychocats.net/ubuntu/graphicalsudo to know why) [07:01] !clone | darkelfjuggalo [07:01] do you have any idea? celestia Gnome isnt working,hangs after start up but celestia(glut) is working fine... [07:02] yeah! it works with sudo nautilus! [07:02] thank you very very much [07:02] sahil: not really. sounds like some 3d drivers quirk/bug/issues === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [07:03] ho ho ho, does anyone know wich kernel will be shipped with 13.10?

[07:04] I created new user, but i cannot login to him [07:05] launching via terminal isnt showing any info either.....glitch in what btw?? coz the celestia(glut) is workig fine,even celestia gnome launches well fast then hangs after 4 seconds... the mouse pointer remains croshair even in menubar thus i have to kill the app [07:05] I got autologout after enter password, and hint enter [07:05] i got propietory drivers installed [07:06] lataku: theres some release schedule and the #ubuntu+1 channel [07:06] ;) [07:06] doe 13,10 [07:06] for 13.10 [07:06] http://imagebin.org/267518 would something like that help __machine [07:06] suore: you mean to say you get put back to the Lightdm Login screen? [07:07] yes [07:07] dr_willis, yes [07:07] has this user ever logged in suore ? [07:07] <__machine> Prock81: i figured it out... at the bottom of the USN it lists the version number of the package where the referenced CVE issues are fixed... i just need to confirm the installed package version is equal or higher to show that the issue is patched... [07:07] dr_willis, no [07:07] its new one [07:07] suore: can they login to the console? [07:07] i try [07:08] yes [07:08] i can === arunprasadr_away is now known as arunprasadr [07:08] i logged now [07:08] __machine is 2.7 the current, look at my pic [07:08] Hello, what's the best DHCP server around? [07:09] dr_willis, http://pastebin.com/1ij2fyjJ yes [07:09] isc? dhcp3? [07:09] wtfasix: the default supplied by ubuntu is fine, which is isc [07:09] I'm looking for the strongest, the best, we're going to try and run linux to manage our network [07:09] dr_willis, delete new user, remove home dir, and create new one again? [07:10] __machine in the top right corner of my pic [07:10] i must goto bed now [07:10] And, as most of you probably can imagine, I've to convince a lot of people so I just would like to use the strongest DHCP server possible so these people will be convinced too [07:10] suore: just make a 3rd user. ;) [07:10] If the live cd works does that mean the system can run it? [07:10] dr_willis, so this i can purge? :P [07:10] suore: i wouldent worry about it untill you get other users working [07:11] is it possible to get a virus? in ubuntu 12.04 that keeps opening processes in root until it's extremely slow? [07:11] wtfasix: "strongest" what are you talking about, it's a dhcp server [07:11] wtfasix: the isc bind is pretty much the standard [07:12] isc dhcp sorry [07:12] status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [07:12] it still won't let me change back to the terminal from pastebin, to paste an example [07:13] chalcedony: doubtfullif its a virus.. could be some bug in a legit program. [07:13] If I can run the live cd does that mean my system can handle it? [07:13] hi dr_willis *hugs* [07:13] SynthMobile_: not really, but it can be used as a good guide [07:13] top just shows these endless processes, i can't tell you what they say [07:14] SynthMobile_: meeeting the minimum spec on the website is what shows if your machine is capabe, although a livecd is a good basic test [07:14] ikonia: well, just as there are two packages, there are differences. I'd like to use the most stable one with highest reliability rate. Could you please describe me some differences? I'm looking it through myself too although this net should be up by this afternoon (which is not your problem, and its not just about dhcp, that'd be easy) [07:14] dr_willis, i'm on my laptop - husband's computer has the problem [07:14] I get an error on the live cd lol [07:14] wtfasix: just use isc [07:14] wtfasix: if you have no basic understanding of them, you are not the person to convince others to use it [07:14] This system is prettynold but the hard drive is way older do you think that could cause problems? [07:14] bash: !clone: event not found [07:15] Okay [07:15] new user works [07:15] but at new user [07:15] Hard drive is about roughly 10 years old lol [07:15] darkelfjuggalo: !stuff are bot commands in the irc chennel.. [07:15] also changil Duplex to SPIF/D [07:15] idk why [07:15] darkelfjuggalo: in bash its part of the histoy feature [07:15] Its an old 8GB samsung, yes I typed that correctly, 8GB [07:15] !bot [07:15] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [07:15] ikonia, hehe well I am, since I did read tanenbaums operating systems and recoded minix. although a decade ago I do have basic understanding, just short time to make it happen and get back at. thanks alot for helping! I'll use isc. Probably won't make a silly difference in this small net [07:15] !clone | darkelfjuggalo [07:16] dr_willis, someone !clone me and i didn't recieve any bot message [07:16] the bot seems lagged [07:16] wtfasix: I assure you, you will have zero problems with ISC bind, it's pretty much the industry standard [07:16] try /msg ubottu factoidtoread [07:16] ikonia, thanks, for dns repeating would you use bind too? [07:16] dr_willis, i'm asking him to boot it to a live cd, i can't do anything with it the way it is, but what then? [07:17] Dr_willis do yo remember me? The one with the display drivers problem [07:17] *feels kind of awkward trying to lift by others their up to date experience trying to prevent taking too much time reading up posix/linux again* [07:17] wtfasix: the rest of the world does, who am I to argue [07:17] On the laptop [07:18] I am not getting anywhere [07:18] ikonia: haha, thanks alot! have a very nice day! [07:19] SynthMobile_: that descriibes perhaps 40% of the problems that are in this channel daily [07:19] chalcedony: if some process is spawning over and over till the pc crashes. you need to determine what the process is.. and why its doing that. [07:19] Wellll, yes in my case, its most likely a hardware problem.. [07:19] maybe even 40.5% [07:20] dr_willis, um how? - maybe close firefox and see if it will let me into the bash prompt? [07:20] I'm from Live CD and I opened sudo nautilus. I tried to delete some files, but trash is empty. Where are those files? === daytona675 is now known as daytona === daytona is now known as triumph [07:21] chalcedony: ssh in and run htop perhaps. === BlackoutIsHere is now known as BlackoutIsHere|O [07:21] Since the Bot is not working right now, can someone give me the direct command to generate a log of all installed packages on my device [07:21] dr_willis, let me see if it will let me, its incredibly slow! [07:23] chalcedony: its slow from the live cd? [07:23] !brain [07:23] Hi! I'm #ubuntu's favorite infobot, you can search my brain yourself at http://ubottu.com/factoids.cgi | Usage info: http://ubottu.com/devel/wiki/Plugins | Bot channels and general info: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/IRC/Bots [07:23] wonder why the bot dosent have the !clone factoid any more [07:23] !clone [07:23] I'm from Live CD and I opened sudo nautilus. I tried to delete some files, but trash is empty. Where are those files? [07:23] dr_willis, its still real, not live cd. i don't know his ip, unless i can do ifconfig. [07:24] Samul: it might have deleted them permently not moved to trash. or they may be in the .trash* directory on the root of the drive [07:24] #xubuntu [07:24] dr_willis: I'm going to see if they have been removed [07:24] chalcedony: theres also the text, or recovery mode thagt may get you to a console. where you can trouble shoot [07:25] dr_willis, let's try that [07:25] they are in .trash-0 [07:25] how can I delete? [07:26] Samul: use the command line perhaps? [07:26] ^_^" [07:26] or shift-delete [07:26] if you delete the trash directory.. where does it go.... ;0 [07:26] How 'zen'' [07:27] thanks [07:29] i have looked up cloning and none of the methods appear to serve the purpose I am wanting [07:30] theres an aptitude command to gerenate a list of installed packages.. isent that what you were wanting? [07:30] I was thinking apt-cache, but none of the commands appear to be broad enough for what i want [07:31] clone is an aptitude command? [07:32] theres a feature of aptitude to GENERATE a list of installed files. you can then pipe back into aptitude on a differnt system to instgall the same set of packages [07:33] used to be a bot factoid, !clone [07:34] bot dosent even reply to that factoid any more.. [07:34] ok let me find the command, Generating the list is all I want at this step... from thereI I will have to work on what I need and don't need and how to fix what I need that doesn't appear to work properly [07:34] dr_willis: ...hence 'used' [07:34] bot dosent even say it dosent exist. ;) [07:34] !asfdasdfsfad [07:34] !clone [07:34] that's odd [07:34] unless the bot has also had that feature turned off. [07:34] nope [07:34] just gave it to me for asdfasdffads [07:35] 2012 Jun 23 22:42:26 To replicate your packages selection on another machine (or restore it if re-installing), you can type « aptitude --display-format '%p' search '?installed!?automatic' > ~/my-packages », move the file "my-packages" to the other machine, and there type « sudo xargs aptitude --schedule-only install < my-packages ; sudo aptitude install » (this currently may cause problems with multiarch) - See also !automate [07:35] perhaps its not the real ubottu ! ) [07:35] logs > brokenBots [07:35] hahahah [07:35] that'd be hilarious [07:35] reisio: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [07:35] flood bots are working [07:35] !automate [07:35] Ways to automate installation of Ubuntu on multiple machines are described at https://help.ubuntu.com/12.04/installation-guide/i386/appendix-preseed.html - See also !cloning [07:35] yeah, "working" [07:35] ah, they -ing'd it? [07:35] but left no original, clev-ar [07:36] !cloning [07:36] mmm, nope, wow [07:36] What does it mean when it says, "system program problem detected" this comes up when I enter live cd [07:37] SynthMobile_: somthing crashed and apport is reporting it. [07:37] doesn't mean anything to me [07:37] which is weird on a live cd [07:37] except that whoever typed that was lazy [07:37] can anyone verify this string 'dpkg --get-selections > ~/Desktop/packages' as being what I need, or serving this purpose? [07:37] Huh. Is it because of a bad hardware? One of my drives is almost dead I think [07:38] darkelfjuggalo: try it and see it will just make a list of package names in a file.. you then do whatever you want to with that list [07:38] Anndd im using a flashdrive btw [07:38] Not a CD [07:38] ok thank you, that saves me from trying to copy and paste from terminal [07:39] aptidude has a similer output option [07:40] I was trying to find it and this came up first, this provides exactly what i want [07:43] bbl [07:43] 'account-plugin-*' this all goes with pidgin, correct? [07:44] darkelfjuggalo: empathy, methinks [07:46] ok yes, reisio, empathy... if i purge empathy[i don't use it, and didn't realize it was installed] all of these will be removed with it, correct? [07:52] darkelfjuggalo: depends on what you do/run, but potentially sure [07:52] ok [07:53] ok im thoroughly stumped [07:53] What happened [07:53] trying to mount a shared folder from windows into ubuntu 12.04 [07:54] This is certainly going to take forever to purge what I don't need and fix everything else... there are several packages I've installed for built in hardware that won't work properly [mic and Webcam are top of this list] [07:54] easy task right? should be... [07:56] frostero: I'd say so, what's the problem while mounting? [07:56] status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [07:56] CIFS VFS: Send error in SessSetup = -13 [07:57] CIFS VFS: cifs_mount failed w/return code = -13 [07:57] frostero: http://thinkinginsoftware.blogspot.nl/2011/09/cifs-vfs-cifsmount-failed-return-code.html [07:58] thanks, reviewing now... brb [08:00] so i am attemping the mount from the cli, w/ mount.cifs //windows/share /mnt/point -o username [08:00] not even using a credentials file [08:00] tried it every way i can think of or find a variation of [08:00] continue getting the same errors [08:00] hello [08:00] eveyone [08:01] frostero: what errors? [08:01] status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE [08:01] frostero: try -o "username=windowsUserName",uid=unixUserName [08:02] the windows and ubuntu username are the same, so is the password [08:02] frostero: well, Unix passwords aren't stored in environmental variables :p [08:02] is it at least asking you for the password? [08:02] yes [08:02] okay [08:02] did you try the syntax I suggested? [08:02] one moment [08:03] same error [08:03] logs aren't helping either === companion is now known as Companion [08:05] frostero: try exporting PASSWD as the password [08:05] frostero: also you can try -o "username=domain\user",uid=user [08:08] what happened to ubuntu? this task used to take a couple minutes [08:09] I'm from live CD. where can I find the firefox' cronology that was into the OS? [08:09] Hi. Say I download a random tar with an executable inside, where do I extract it to (where does apps typically live?) [08:09] dawkirst: try in /home [08:09] dawkirst: if you type "echo $PATH" you can see where your shell is looking for executables [08:10] Hi, after installing ubuntu and formatting a drive a way to recover some files from the formatted disk? [08:10] !testdisk | BWorld [08:10] Oh. Look at a program called Testdisk, BWorld [08:10] !recover | blazemore [08:10] blazemore: Some tools to recover lost data are listed and explained at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DataRecovery - Recovering deleted files on !ext3 filesystems can be virtually impossible, although methods that might work is some cases are described at at http://www.xs4all.nl/~carlo17/howto/undelete_ext3.html and http://projects.izzysoft.de/trac/ext3undel [08:10] ty DJones [08:10] I'm from live CD. where can I find the firefox' cronology that was into the OS? [08:10] thanks, I will try it out [08:10] status code returned 0xc000006d NT_STATUS_LOGON_FAILURE, correct me if i am wrong here but this is telling me that ubuntu and windows are communicating up to the point of logon failure? [08:11] Samul: Firefox stuff is stored in /home/username/.mozilla/firefox/ [08:11] yah [08:11] *yeah [08:11] frostero: I think you're right, the protocol is working otherwise you wouldn't get an error like "logon failure" [08:11] but I don't find cronology [08:11] Samul: History? [08:11] yeah [08:11] it could be so [08:11] i wonder if i can follow this from the windows end [08:12] Samul: It's stored in an SQlite database called "places.sqlite" [08:13] blazemore: thianks [08:13] *thanks [08:13] what application to open it? [08:14] hey there, how can I speed up the unity dash? At the moment it takes about 16 seconds to open and populate itself fully with icons (e.g. if I hit Windows key and type 'office') [08:14] what is the application to open sqlite? [08:15] Samul, its called sqlite3 (the command line application) and it is in the sqlite3 package [08:15] It is performing a deepscan at this moment blazemore [08:15] Samul, blazemore thanks [08:15] Hey I've ubuntu and looking to install lamp with php5.4+ can anyone help [08:16] OK [08:16] Skizu: What Ubuntu version? And is it desktop or server? [08:16] BWorld: One thing I would suggest is that you stop using the drive that has the deleted files on it as soon as possible, if you're still using it, there's always a chance that something you do now could overwrite some of the files you may want to recover [08:16] blazemore same as yesterday [08:16] Skizu: Hold on, did we spend an entire day doing this? [08:17] Skizu: Someone else can try now :P [08:17] blazemore: indeed we did and it ended with I have no lamp stuff and just getting an 100 error [08:17] Skizu: Can you please put the output of "cat /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* | pastebinit" [08:18] Good point DJones but I am afraid that is not possible, if it was possible I definetly would do that [08:18] BWorld: One way of doing it would be to use a livecd/usb [08:19] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984150/ [08:20] BWorld: I've never needed to recover files, but from memory, in the links from ubottu, there a live recovery cd is mentioned [08:21] blazemore: how's it going? [08:21] Skizu: This is going to be easy [08:21] my eyes are no longer bleeding from ubuntus default fonts [08:21] blazemore: give it to me [08:21] Hi [08:22] Skizu: sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/* ; sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get ugrade [08:22] hi aneesh_ [08:22] Skizu: The PPA Purge thing yesterday didn't work apparently, and I assumed it had [08:22] On my server mysql stops working. Is that the problem related with space with server? [08:22] Skizu: But the repositories you added are still there so we are going to remove them, get to a default, working LAMP stack using the standard package versions in the repository [08:22] !details aneesh_ is there anything in the log file [08:23] Skizu: And once it's working, worry about upgrading [08:23] my log file is empty [08:23] !details | aneesh_ is there anything in the log file [08:23] aneesh_ is there anything in the log file: 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 ..." [08:23] Ok blazemore so did what you said [08:23] Skizu: Any errors from the package manager when you did the apt-get commands? [08:24] Nope 0 on everything [08:24] ubuntu server 12.0 . But there is noting written on log file [08:24] OK great so now Skizu sudo apt-get install php5 mysql-server apache2 [08:25] Last two days the server is shuttindown unexpectly because of power failure [08:25] can you install a bunch of stuff in one command like that blazemore? [08:25] <-- noob [08:25] today the mysql stops working [08:25] cknoll: Yes of course! [08:25] oh cool [08:25] cknoll: I dread to think how you've been doing it [08:25] blazemore: well i haven't done too much yet lol, so it's not been a big burden [08:26] blazemore: done that what next [08:26] i spent the last two days trying to figure out why my eyes were bleeding from the screen [08:26] I tried to restart the mysql but saying no service to start [08:26] Skizu: Well now, check your LAMP stack works as you expect. Browse to http://localhost and check a page is served, etc [08:27] aneesh_: What is the output of "sudo service mysql restart" ? Please paste the output onto http://paste.ubuntu.com and put the resulting URL in channel [08:27] blazemore: seems like it's just downloading the file? soo apache2 isn't supported? [08:28] Skizu: What do you mean, your browser is downloading the file instead of displaying it? Sounds like an APache configuration weirdness [08:28] blazemore: exactly as you said, anything I can do? [08:29] Hi this is url http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984181/ [08:29] Skizu: sudo apt-get --purge remove apache2 [08:29] Skizu: the --purge will remove configuration files [08:29] Skizu: Then you can reinstall it [08:29] using "sudo apt-get apache2" [08:29] blazemore : This is the link http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984181/ [08:30] udo apt-get install apache2 [08:30] blazemore: I got a fail message [08:30] aneesh_: Can you do the same for "sudo dpkg -l | grep mysql" [08:30] Skizu: You'll have to be more specific :) What command gave you what error? Use pastebin if necessary [08:31] blazemore : ok [08:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984191/ [08:32] blazemore : http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984194/ [08:32] dr_willis, it was his 2nd mouse being plugged in. [08:32] blazemore: should I just reinstall [08:32] It'll take 5minutes [08:32] Skizu: If that's an easy option, then hell yes [08:33] not just yes, _HELL_ yes === dstevens is now known as IWorkForARetard [08:34] Skizu: Why do you want to reinstall? [08:34] bekks: because it's fucked [08:35] is there a way to tell the length in seconds (as a float) of an .ogg file via shell? [08:35] Is it possible to have multiple IP addresses assigned to a single ubuntu 12.04 server that has one network adaptor? [08:35] -side "Brushing" [08:35] Skizu: Please watch your language and precisely decribe your problem. According to your last paste, there isnt even a trace of a problem. [08:35] SierraAR: Yes, you can add as many ips' you want [08:35] SierraAR: It is possible using ethernet aliases http://www.cyberciti.biz/tips/ubuntu-linux-creating-ethernet-alias-for-eth0-network-device.html [08:36] SierraAR: yes. This is taken care of by your DNS settings (A and CNAME records) [08:36] hi all! Sorry for off-topic, but could someone tell me is there any channel about a Canonical "ubuntuphone"? [08:36] SierraAR: sure, you can have subinterfaces [08:36] !phone | usr_courier [08:36] usr_courier: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [08:36] bekks I've spent over a day trying to get damn lamp on my ubuntu box I'll just reinstall and hope it lets me select the lamp server again it'll be quicker than all the messing around I've been through [08:36] ubottu: thanks! [08:36] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [08:36] u bottu, its ok [08:37] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984194/ [08:37] Skizu: According to your paste, Apache2 is already installed. So whats the detailed problem you are facing? [08:37] ubottu: all bots must die [08:37] IWorkForARetard: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === jan1337zZz is now known as jan1337z === jan1337z is now known as Jan [08:37] Skizu: It is quicker, and then you can focus on upgrading php but I will make sure it's a proper guide [08:37] I want to ask something, does SKYPE program support in my LinuxTLE 10 (based on Ubuntu 10)? [08:37] bekks: it was downloading the file === Jan is now known as Guest12591 [08:37] Skizu: I wont recommend reinstalling since it will not solve your problem of properly configuring your webserver. [08:38] SierraAR: sudo ifconfig eth0:0 192.168.0.200 netmask 25.255.255.0 [08:38] SierraAR: etc [08:38] Skizu: What is "it", which file, when doing what? [08:38] SierraAR: oh and add 'up' to the end [08:38] !details | Skizu [08:38] Skizu: 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 ..." [08:38] * SierraAR is reading the article blazemore linked and being spammed with highlight notices! XD [08:38] Gimme a couple seconds to read through this :P [08:38] haha SierraAR it's OK :) [08:39] '/etc/network/interfaces' <-- If I recall correctly, 12.04 uses a different path/filename for this, though I can't remember it off the top of my head [08:40] SierraAR: the network/interfaces file is still in the same place and can be used [08:40] And the changes I make will be kept on reboot? [08:40] SierraAR: yes, however interfaces you configure there will not be able to be manipulated in network manager [08:41] blazemore: installing the base system [08:41] Everything's command line on this server anyway, that doesn't bother me much [08:41] SierraAR: then awesome :) [08:41] blazemore : could you please check that link [08:41] blazemore: how to I get pastebinit again? [08:41] Skizu: Good luck then in configuring your system later on. [08:42] bekks it was a clean install yesterday, I had no configuration :D [08:42] Just set up interfaces to dhcp [08:42] Hm, I already have a block for the existing connection, which I had to set up manually as DHCP is not enabled. Would I be safe just copying that block, replacing eth0 with eth0:0, and editing the necessary lines for the second IP? [08:42] Skizu: And you will have no configuration after reinstalling. Again, you will have to configure your webserver. Reinstallation does not magically solve problems. [08:43] bekks solves the issue with my tasksel issue :) [08:43] SierraAR: however you want, you can even have sub interfaces on DHCP as well [08:43] Skizu: I bet it doesnt. [08:43] It's installing lamp now ;) [08:43] Skizu: It was installed before, too... [08:44] No failure aptitude (100) [08:44] Skizu: What does "No failure aptitude (100)" mean? [08:44] bekks: Well we shall see =] no idea it's what I got when I tried to tasksel and install lamp server [08:45] Skizu: So why do you think that "no failure" indicated an error - after stating you had no idea? [08:45] There was no at the begining, It was the word failure [08:45] ActionParsnip: What are the chances of me butchering the server's entire network connection if I make any changes to this, by the way? [08:46] Skizu: "no failure" does not mean "failure" - you know? :) [08:46] I missed a comma :P [08:46] Bam right of the back I got a it works! page [08:46] Skizu: You can install LAMP (which was already installed) without tasksel, too. [08:47] bekks I tried it, it messed up :s [08:47] oh I see [08:47] Skizu: It didnt, your paste didnt indicate any error. [08:47] Skizu: Basically: reinstallation is ot necessary for solving problems, Ubuntu isnt Windows. :) [08:48] *not [08:48] unless you really really got major weird problems. ;) [08:48] bekks: Was fed up already spent hours on trying to get it sorted no one could help so here I am just need to chmod a dir and put my stuff in [08:48] dr_willis: In that case, you know it ;) [08:48] Skizu: You dont need to chmod for putting things into a dir. [08:48] bekks: saw that 'glibc' was seg faulting on a machine of mine last night.... still looking into that one. ;) [08:49] dr_willis: :D [08:49] glibc is like a majorly imorntant library i belive. [08:49] dr_willis: Yeah, somehow ;) [08:49] Using winSCP so I had to? [08:49] Skizu: No. [08:50] i use winscp to piut stuff in my users home directory all the time ;0 [08:50] Skizu: You dont run a webserver with user permissions. [08:50] Skizu: So there is no point in trying to put stuff into the webserver directories as a user. Thats a major security issue. [08:51] bekks so what do I want to do [08:51] Do you know any chatbot programs based on IRC server which support Ubuntu? [08:51] linglyz: xchat? [08:52] linglyz: probably pretty much all of them [08:52] Skizu: you want to copy files as user to a user-accessable directory, then, you want to move/copy these files using sudo into the target directories of the webserver. No reinstallation needed. [08:52] linglyz: yes I dont know one that doesnt [08:52] linglyz: maybe irssi [08:52] linglyz: most irc clients for linux are scriptable.. there are irc bots also in the repos [08:52] bekks: I reinstalled as I'd ppa stuff messing stuff up and couldn't install stuff properly [08:53] hmmm...... [08:53] Skizu: Your paste didnt indicate any of that. [08:53] I made a user accessible directory as i was using winSCP [08:53] linglyz: what are you trying to acomplish excatly? [08:53] Yeah blazemore and I had mentioned it in the chat [08:53] I want to ask for some chatbot programmes for Ubuntu.... [08:54] In /etc/network/interfaces, lines prefixed with # are ignored as comments correct? [08:54] linglyz: which irc software are you using? [08:54] Skizu: Then why didnt you mentioned it after I asked you again? Anyway, seems like you want to keep going the windows way, and reinstall when facing an issue. Good luck with that. [08:54] linglyz: thers numerous 'irc bots' in the repos and other sources. it all depends on what you need them to do [08:54] I use Pidgin [08:54] bekks: Just wanted to start simple, first time using this, so want a clean slate so I can follow [08:55] linglyz: i suggest learning a better irc client. [08:55] linglyz: such as weechat, irssi, or xchat [08:55] linglyz: yes you should try xchat [08:55] Seems like apache2 isn't started [08:55] Skizu: Then why dont you listen to the people trying to help you, when telling you "you dont need to reinstall"? Anyway, seems like you know it all better. Good luck again, I am resting this case. [08:56] linglyz: its easy and a properly irc client. You will also have anything you need just with clicks [08:56] What are the other ways to open a terminal in 12.04? [08:56] Thank you so much..... [08:56] bekks: No no I don't know better, I just wanted a clean slate as if it hadn't somehow messed up [08:56] SynthMobile_: other than what? [08:56] ;) [08:56] SynthMobile_: Other ways than...? [08:56] linglyz: irssi is nice, but if you are not used to keyboard commands it can be hard to start with [08:56] Other than ctrl alt t or searching in unity [08:56] In /etc/network/interfaces, lines prefixed with # are ignored as comments, correct? Just want to make sure this won't cause an error when I reboot and keep me from remote accessing the server [08:57] SierraAR: yes [08:57] I am going through my packages, trying to understand what they do, so i know what i need what I don't can someone tell me what Zeitgeist is...i know is is referred to by activity-log-manager-common & activity-log-manager-control-center. Everything i am finding has nothing to do with computers. [08:57] moldy: K, thanks [08:57] if you want to controll an 'irc bot' you wont be doing lots of clicking in a gui for it ;) you will be using irc commands [08:57] SynthMobile_: you can make a script to open it [08:57] How please [08:57] dr_willis: lol thats true [08:57] darkelfjuggalo: it's some kind of fancy search mechanism. google will tell you the details. [08:57] SynthMobile_: why are you going to use it? to be able to click in a icon? [08:57] not really control, but only chatting with bots for testing [08:58] No I cant access it.. [08:58] SynthMobile_: what do you mean? [08:58] Ctr alt t doesnt work and launcher is missing on my live cd [08:58] moldy ; google is showing something philosophical [08:58] Even alt f2 dont work [08:59] SynthMobile_: you can not access terminal so? [08:59] SynthMobile_: so your desktop is totally goofed up? [08:59] darkelfjuggalo: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=ubuntu+zeitgeist [08:59] SynthMobile_: have you tried ctrl+alt+F1 ? [08:59] Indeed im on a live cd/live usb or w.e. [09:00] SynthMobile_: you can not open the menu and write terminal? [09:00] amusing moldy [09:00] SynthMobile_: and then enter? [09:00] darkelfjuggalo: ;p [09:00] Ctrl alt f1 turned my screen to one big terminal and said permissipn denied and I cant do nothing now [09:00] No I cant [09:00] SynthMobile_: alt-0cgrtl-f1 through f6 are the CONSOLES... alt-ctrl-f7 to get back to the X desktop [09:01] SynthMobile_: this big terminal is another tty [09:01] It rebooted lol [09:01] SynthMobile_: lol [09:01] SynthMobile_: ctrl+alt+f7 gets back to the X sessio [09:02] SynthMobile_: are you using ubuntu live cd? [09:02] Im getting a lot of bad sectors on one of my drives and I wanted to run fsck [09:02] Uhm ues but its on a usb lol [09:02] *yes [09:02] SynthMobile_: fsck wont fix bad sectors [09:02] SynthMobile_: ok, so why the launcher was not running [09:02] ? [09:02] SynthMobile_: You should do a backup of the entire disk before. Bad sectors indicate physical errors, not filesystem errors. [09:03] thanx for the help all [09:03] Hi. I have a BCM4312 wireless card. I just installed firmware-b43-lpphy-installer to get the wireless to work. But it keeps getting disconnected very frequently. Any help please? [09:03] Yea no I dont care bout the files anymore yheyre pretty old files lol anyway, what could you suggest? Im just trying to revive an old desktop for my mom [09:04] It reports about 600 bad sectors. How bout a reformat? [09:04] SynthMobile_: oh.. I would suggest another distro [09:04] Why? [09:04] SynthMobile_: there are some distros specifically to old desktops [09:04] SynthMobile_: Dont listen to that pointless advice. [09:05] bekks: lol [09:05] bekks: why not? [09:05] SynthMobile_: Bad sectors are not fixed by reformatting or using another distro. [09:05] Welll its not that old, its around 3, 4 years old tops [09:05] deezed: Because another distro will not fix broken hardware. [09:05] SynthMobile_: You should backup your disk and check it afterwards. [09:06] definatly dont trust the hard drive [09:06] Ok im not looking to fix them anymore I just want it to be able to hold an OS for about a month or so till my mom gets his laptop back from the service center [09:06] bekks: thats true, but if you use a distro not that heavy like ubuntu, you could ignore some errors.. fixing them is a hardware stuff anyway [09:06] emergancy use - partion the hard drive.. put all the bad sectors in a partion you wont use... and use the rest.. and hope for the best [09:06] deezed: You cant ignore bad sectors by just using another distro. [09:07] SynthMobile_: You need to take a backup - now. [09:07] Yup hard drive is shitty now she only needs her emails and poetables are not an option she hates small texts amd keyboards [09:07] Backup of what? [09:07] I dont need the old files anymore [09:07] SynthMobile_: I would suggest you to do this partition thing and try another distro for old desktops [09:07] Hi. I have a BCM4312 wireless card. I just installed firmware-b43-lpphy-installer to get the wireless to work. But it keeps getting disconnected very frequently. Any help please [09:07] backups inporntant data somewhere.. if you dont need them.. well repartion as i mentioned above and expect the hd to totally fail soon [09:07] SynthMobile_, why not just the live usb then [09:07] Hey just wondering what program it is which makes PHP errors more readable? [09:07] dhanush: What Ubuntu version? [09:07] deezed: That will not save his data. So its a pretty pointless advice. [09:08] Live usb fucks up too and idk why lol [09:08] blazemore: 12.04 [09:08] bekks: HE DOESNT NEED TO SAVE HIS DATA!! [09:08] deezed: Stop shouting at people. [09:08] dhanush: are there lots of networks on the same channel around you? [09:08] dhanush: sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-lpphy-installer [09:08] Lol deezed chill [09:08] ActionParsnip: Yup there are. [09:09] 3-4 years old is new enough for ubuntu imho [09:09] dhanush: then switch to a less crowded channel [09:09] Dr_willis yes I am expecting that [09:09] bekks: you keep saying its a pointless advice... im not so rude at least [09:09] any body knows about this error [09:09] Depends: mysql-client-5.5 (>= 5.5.32-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) but 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed [09:09] Depends: mysql-server-core-5.5 (= 5.5.32-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) but 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed [09:09] PreDepends: mysql-common (>= 5.5.32-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) but 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed [09:09] Breaks: mysql-server (< 5.5.32-0ubuntu0.12.04.1) but 5.5.24-0ubuntu0.12.04.1 is to be installed [09:09] E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution). [09:09] aneesh_: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:09] I mean the hdd to fail soon [09:09] aneesh_: please use a pastebin [09:09] sorry [09:09] SynthMobile_: Then take a backup now. [09:09] blazemore: Yrah I did that. Before that it didnt recognize the device. After doing that it does. but disconnects [09:09] SynthMobile_: The longer you dont do it, the more data you will lose. [09:09] aneesh_: Please put on http://paste.ubuntu.com the full error, and the command you ran to produce it [09:09] Bekks dont need the backup [09:09] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984286/ [09:10] SynthMobile_: so what do you want to do then? [09:10] SynthMobile_: Then why do you care about your broken hard disk at all? [09:10] aneesh_: sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get -f install [09:10] bekks: omg you still are saying to him backup? [09:10] ok [09:10] ActionParsnip: Cant. college wifi. restricted access to only one. [09:10] Bekks I need it as a temp system [09:10] thanks [09:11] SynthMobile_ so for emergancy use - partion the hard drive.. put all the bad sectors in a partion you wont use... and use the rest.. and hope for the best [09:11] ActionParsnip: also if I switch off and the switch on my wireless then It connects again easily. But then it gets disconnected again. [09:11] dhanush: then thats the issue, if lots of networks use the same channel then you'll get problems [09:11] SynthMobile_: Then what do you expect us to help you with? No data worth to be kept, no efforts in investigating the disk, etc.? :) [09:12] dr_willis ok wait, so how do I "put all the bad sectors" in one partition? [09:12] ActionParsnip: okay. how do you define a channel? [09:12] SynthMobile_: make several partions.. make one that covers the area of the hd where the bad sectors are at [09:12] ActionParsnip: or rather how do you distinguish between a channel and a network? [09:13] SynthMobile_: you can do all of this when formating [09:13] dhanush: http://support.zen.co.uk/kb/KnowledgebaseArticle.aspx?articleid=11344 [09:13] dhanush: sudo iwlist scan | egrep -i 'sid|chan' will show the SSID and the Channel name [09:13] SynthMobile_: or using gparted [09:14] dhanush: you can have lots of networks around, this is not a problem. If they are on the same channel then this is an issue [09:14] aneesh_: are there amy bugs reported === alfonsojon is now known as alfonsojon|away [09:16] dr_willis hold on, do I do tha mwnually or when I reformst it it would wutomatically do that? [09:16] yes ActionParsnip [09:16] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984194/ [09:16] ActionParsnip: yeah. same channel lots of networks. [09:16] dhanush: thats why then [09:17] ActionParsnip: Any solution? === _BJFreeman is now known as BJfreeman [09:17] aneesh_: then post on the bug stating that it affects you too [09:17] I just installed xdebug like suggested, any additional config needed for it to kick in? [09:17] dhanush: change the channels [09:17] ShadowStruck: could try one of the other broadcom drivers [09:17] ActionParsnip: I can do that myself?? [09:18] ActionParsnip Yes. I posted that one [09:19] bye people [09:19] ActionParsnip: I think I will need access to the router right? [09:19] see you [09:19] bekks: sorry about everything [09:19] I just installed xdebug, any additional config needed for it to kick in? [09:19] bekks: I didnt want to be rude with you afterall... [09:20] bekks: see you [09:20] Woo that worked, thanks for the help with the network stuff guys [09:20] SierraAR: you are welcome! [09:20] * reisio bows [09:23] Hey I'm having trouble installing xdebug, seems to be installed but not doing anything could someone help [09:23] !info xdebug [09:23] Package xdebug does not exist in raring [09:23] !find xdebug [09:23] Found: php5-xdebug [09:24] Fine php5-xdebug I can't seem to get it to do anything [09:27] using 13.04 desktop,dashboard on left is not coming until we open nautilus...is this a setting miss configuration [09:28] krypto: try making a new user , see if it is also affected by the issue. if so. that points to a setting problem with the problematic first user [09:28] dhanush: to change channel. yes [09:28] krypto: if you add nautilus to the startup, does it start as expected? [09:29] Odd question, how to scroll up in ssh [09:29] ActionParsnip:Okay. But I do not have access to the router. College Wifi. [09:29] hi [09:29] Skizu: PGUP? Mousewheel? [09:29] if i click on any directories,dashboard will come up,else dashboard is hidden [09:30] Just goes through the commands I typed =/ [09:30] Skizu: or if you were smart: CTRL+a, ESC, then PGUP/arrow/k [09:30] Skizu: depends on what terminal ypou are using. ;) [09:30] Erm, wait I'm not in ssh I'm on the machine command line stuff directly [09:30] Skizu: if doing a lot of ssh work. its a good idea to learn to use tmux, or screen, or byobu [09:31] Skizu: and what terminal program are ypou using? the console? xterm? terminator? gnome-terminal? [09:31] ._. default for ubuntu? [09:31] dhanush: you won't have access, I suggest you try a different driver [09:31] default on the DESKTOP? Skizu ? [09:31] Server? [09:31] server install [09:31] ubuntu [09:32] Skizu: then you are using the CONSOLE and not X. [09:32] anyone could help me with alsa? i successfully run alsamixer in TTY terminal (ctrl-alt-fN). But when i do startx and write alsamixer in terminal emulator, it says 'cannot open mixer: no such file or directory' [09:32] How do I scroll up on the CONSOLE [09:32] Skizu: if you want a screen buffer. use tmux, or screen, or a framebuffer terminal. [09:32] Skizu: SHIFT+PGUP [09:32] sorry for language mistakes [09:32] those will give extra features. try what reisio said also. ;) [09:32] !info fbterm [09:32] reisio: thanks [09:33] fbterm (source: fbterm): A fast framebuffer based terminal emulator for Linux. In component universe, is optional. Version 1.7-2 (raring), package size 59 kB, installed size 184 kB [09:33] dr_willis: huh? [09:33] Skizu: the console is lacking in many features you may want. screen, tmux. fbterm, will give you more features. If you got a mouse install gpm also so you can use it for some actions [09:33] Hmm dang, seems like something it working without working, could I get help here with xdebug/ [09:34] Skizu: what have you done with xdebug so far? [09:34] dr_willis: using "sudo apt-get install gpm" ? [09:34] somsip: I installed it [09:34] Skizu: yes.. [09:35] Awesome got a mouse now thanks dr_willis [09:35] Skizu: you may want to read up on bash ussage and command line basics befor messing with advanced php stuff. [09:35] Skizu: of course you an still do 'php' stuff with a desktop install. [09:35] Well I can do PHP, but now I've been told I gotta set up the box which runs it :P that's my issue [09:35] Skizu: what version of ubuntu and PHP? === ghostcube_ is now known as ghostcube [09:35] !lamp [09:35] 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. [09:35] ActionParsnip: wl ? [09:35] Hello everybody [09:36] Well 5.3.10 at the moment but will need 5.4+ and for the ubunutu version [09:36] hi guys, if i run ubuntu test, not install it yet, and if i try to install kernel 3.10.3 on it to test if it works, after i reboot, will the kernel I downloaded will be removed? or all the files I downloaded during the live usb testing? === mk3548208_ is now known as mk3548208 [09:36] dhanush: there are a few [09:36] hi [09:36] Skizu: so you're on 12.04? [09:36] hi guys, if i run ubuntu test, not install it yet, and if i try to install kernel 3.10.3 on it to test if it works, after i reboot, will the kernel I downloaded will be removed? or all the files I downloaded during the live usb testing? [09:36] is there any way to upgrade my 11.10 to 12.04 using an iso file [09:36] hi guys, if i run ubuntu test, not install it yet, and if i try to install kernel 3.10.3 on it to test if it works, after i reboot, will the kernel I downloaded will be removed? or all the files I downloaded during the live usb testing? [09:36] syedhamid: live usb - has a persistnt save file.. but i dnt think it can boot/run differnt kernels on a live-usb-persistant save setup. [09:36] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5984382/ [09:37] is there any way to upgrade my 11.10 to 12.04 using an iso file ? [09:37] ActionParsnip: Could you name them? [09:37] somsip: appears so :) [09:37] dr_willis: if i try install kernel 3.10.3 on it, and it worked, after i reboot, will the files remain on my system even tho i did it in a live usb? [09:37] dr_willis: or if I try to install gnome-ppp on the liveusb, after I reboot, will gnome-ppp will be removed? [09:37] Is there a good link to unattended installer, or am I missing something? Followed http://askubuntu.com/questions/122505 for server 12.04.2 [09:37] syedhamid: if you have a persistrant save file. yes. but how are you testing the kernel? I DONT think you can just change kernels the live-usb setup uses that way [09:38] during the testing [09:38] is there any way to upgrade my 11.10 to 12.04 using an iso file ? [09:38] Skizu: in what way doesn't it work? What is your test? [09:38] dr_willis: u are not understanding [09:38] syedhamid: normal apps should be remebered.. its the kernel and drivers that may have issues [09:38] somsip: so any ideas why my php5-xdebug isn't kicking in and is still showing default errors [09:38] dr_willis: no [09:38] Please is there any way to upgrade my 11.10 to 12.04 using an iso file ? [09:38] Skizu: maybe because it is not setup correctly. How are you testing it? [09:39] dr_willis: example: if I go to liveusb mode, and (try ubuntu without installing), I install gnome-ppp, wvdial, brasero, steam on it, after I reboot or end that liveusb session, will those files remain in my PC or will be removed? [09:39] a live-usb with a persistant save file - you CAN install other apps. but there can be complecations [09:39] somsip: my test is I've a lot of errors due to the php version, but they're showing as standard php errors, without the xdebug way of showing errors in a readable way [09:39] i have "good" files in /proc/asound, ALSA detects my card successfully, but i can't run 'alsamixer' in X terminal emulator (from openbox WM) [09:39] syedhamid: normal apps will be remebered.. as i said. [09:39] dr_willis: example: if I go to liveusb mode, and (try ubuntu without installing), I install gnome-ppp, wvdial, brasero, steam on it, after I reboot or end that liveusb session, will those files remain in my PC or will be removed? [09:39] help me [09:39] remembered? === digi_ is now known as Guest37404 [09:39] Skizu, I am not sure if I have ever seen that [09:39] Please is there any way to upgrade my 11.10 to 12.04 using an iso file ? [09:39] dr_willis: will those apps I installed on liveusb will be removed or not? that is question [09:39] syedhamid: thats the whole point of the 'persistant save file' it saves the changes you make [09:39] Skizu, as far as I know xdebug does not change the way errors are logged (in apache's error.log) [09:40] syedhamid: if you ahve a save file made - yes.. if you DONT.. then no [09:40] peterrus: not logged, the way the look [09:40] Please is there any way to upgrade my 11.10 to 12.04 using an iso file ? [09:40] dr_willis: if I don't have a save file, those apps will be removed after I reboot? [09:40] Skizu, what do you mean exactly? when I use xdebug, they dont change in any way [09:40] peterrus: e.g. http://xdebug.org/docs/stack_trace [09:40] Please is there any way to upgrade my 11.10 to 12.04 using an iso file ? [09:40] Please is there any way to upgrade my 11.10 to 12.04 using an iso file ? [09:40] Antar: get the iso. mount it.. and it should ask. or it might.. [09:40] Skizu: Not sure what you mean. Does phpinfo() show that xdebug is installed ok [09:40] Look how it shows errors there, doesn't so any such thing for me [09:40] syedhamid: if you ahve a save file made - yes.. if you DONT.. then no <<<<<<<<<< You DONT. then NO it wont save [09:40] somsip: Yeah appears in both PHP part and the zend part [09:40] ok drwilis [09:41] how can I check if a save file is made or not [09:41] Antar: i would think you could of allready tried it and see if it worked. ;) [09:41] Skizu: try setting html_errors = On in php.ini? http://is.gd/w7HH6d [09:41] syedhamid: look for a casper-rw file on the usb.. or try a simple change. like downloading a wallpaper image. and see if its still there when you reboot [09:41] all previous story + alsamixer runs with sudo in X terminal emulator [09:41] but without sudo it crases [09:41] *crashes [09:41] dr_willis: it is not there, yea it worked [09:42] Skizu, stacktraces are on by default these days afaik, xdebug does not have anything to to with that [09:42] does anyone know how to fix it? [09:42] Antar https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades has some instruction, but (as it states) I'd definitely make updates first since Ubuntu can um.. break.. during an upgrade. Or at least be able to recover from a rescue CD [09:42] Make backups first* [09:42] backup your backups! [09:42] nowayride; ubuntu distro can break during the upgrade? [09:42] o.O ubuntu distro can break during the upgrade?? [09:43] anything can break during a upgrade [09:43] jup [09:43] now I am scared to upgrade... [09:43] you should be [09:43] power failure during a upgrade = bad.... on ANY OS [09:43] IDK about desktops, but I've seen plenty of "I upgraded to 12.04 and it won't boot", it might be more server hardware though [09:43] thats why you always backup your complete system [09:43] what is the number of source available for the ubuntu server . I mean how many number are there Get:214 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com precise-updates/restricted Sources [5,467 B] [09:43] somsip: For some reason it was off, just made it On do I need to restart apache2? [09:43] Skizu, yes [09:43] dr_willis: if I am upgrading thru apt-get upgrade, and suddenly, my battery runs out.... [09:43] what will happen [09:43] syedhamid, that will be the last you see of yrour system [09:43] Skizu: yes, but I have no idea what it does or what you're trying to achieve. [09:43] syedhamid: then you will wish you had made backupos [09:44] But upgrading major releases brings a lot of changes and there's always a chance something can break, or as stated there could be a power out or something and brick it, so at least have backups or know how to recover from livecd [09:44] It is taking time Already it took around 30 minutes already . How much time I need to wait to complete the update [09:44] syedhamid: dont do upgrades on battery...... [09:44] somsip: exactly that thanks :) [09:44] syedhamid: an 'apt-get upgrade' is not the same as doing a release upgrade [09:44] how to recover from livecd [09:44] Skizu: cool [09:44] Is there a way to add a local post-install hook for a specific upstream package? [09:44] Skizu, protip, use vagrants, they really simplify all this setting up of development environments [09:44] killing apt in mid-working is not a good idea [09:44] hi all. i need some adive regarding an installation issue. anyone interested? [09:44] yolandre ask away [09:44] syedhamid: recover what? it depends on whats broken [09:44] yolandre: I'm not, but I'll give it anyways, if the issue is ever specified [09:45] What do I need to install/enable to use mod-rewrite? [09:45] dr_willis: like, if I cannot boot [09:45] Skizu, take a look at this if you like: http://www.vagrantup.com/ and this https://github.com/peterrus/vagrant-lamp [09:45] or cannot access my files [09:45] So yeah.. has anyone messed with unattended installer? I'm thinking it's not even picking up my kickstart or hitting the correct boot option [09:45] dr_willis: ubuntu shouldn't have added that ecryptfs option [09:45] Skizu, a2enmod rewrite [09:45] many people dont know about ecryptfs [09:45] syedhamid: boot live cd.. mount your installed system .. access files [09:46] linux-beginners use ecryptfs [09:46] and they dont know about that [09:46] I dont use the encryoted stuff.. so no idea on it. [09:46] if ecryptfs gets broken [09:46] they'll lose their files [09:46] syedhamid beginners don't use encryption [09:46] dr_willis: 99% do it, like that box, "encrypt your directory?" and most are like "sure why not" [09:46] thats why its not enabled by default [09:46] monkeydust: they do [09:47] keep that ecryptfs thing out of the installation, i would say to ubuntu developers [09:47] i'm trying to install ubuntu 13.04 from usb flash disc on a blank partition to have it run along side with windows 8 pro x64. the problem: the ubuntu installer doesn't report any of the existing ntfs partitions. the odd thing: running ubuntu live from the installation media all 3 existing ntfs partitions are preperly reported and can ctually be accessed from ubuntu. [09:47] if they want ecryptfs, they must do it manually [09:47] syedhamid: and when you hdd gets broken you will also lose your stuff, because of that there are backups [09:47] if you guys close your laptop lid, and it suspends, then when you wake it up, does it briefly show your desktop/screen contents before actually locking the screen? I find this to be a real security issue [09:47] yolandre: resize your NTFS in Windows, then reboo and run a chkdsk to be sure it is healthy [09:47] syedhamid, it is the only place to actually use it [09:47] peterrus: no [09:47] peterrus: looks like someones been lurking around your /home/ [09:47] peterrus: report a bug [09:47] peterrus: immediately after closing it? [09:47] syedhamid, you cant encrypt your partition afterwards [09:48] So I've done that and restarted, still getting a 404 on rewrites, anything in php.ini i need to enable? [09:48] reisio, I close it, it suspends, then I wait for x hours, then I open it, the screen is shown, for about 1 second, then the screen is locked [09:48] peterrus: is upgrading a bad idea? [09:48] or should we just upgrade from iso [09:48] syedhamid, no [09:48] syedhamid, but upgrading unprepared is [09:48] peterrus: I wouldn't worry about it [09:49] peterrus: anybody experienced who actually wants your data will get it if they have physical access [09:49] peterrus: physical access is a security risk [09:49] has anybody experienced that? like if they tried upgrading, and something broke? [09:49] Help me, why sound&alsamixer work fine with root privelegies, but without privelegies alsamixer says 'cannot open mixer: no such file or directory'? i use tiny Xorg + tiny openbox [09:49] locked screen won't stop'm [09:49] reisio, nowayride sure sure, but this clearly seems like a design error [09:49] :) [09:49] syedhamid: first rule of comptuter data reliabilty... keep backups. [09:49] hi. i 've got a weird networking issue.. I've changed firewall settings a week ago and since then there are network connectivity issues. Even after changing the settings back to the original settings these issues remain. Also whats weird that one virtual interface is accessible from the same network - even from a different physical server from the same network - but is not accessible from outside the network. Yesterday I got it working again. But thi [09:49] s morning I cannot access it via ping/ssh etc.. Any ideas what could be wrong with it? Maybe the arp cache? The other interface on the same machine is accessible though. [09:49] i've tried the installtion with the pace set aside for ubuntu formatted as ntfs and unfromatted, but the result remains the same: ubuntu installer reports the entire drive as being vacant and available. something i didn't mention before: i went through a heck of a lot of trouble converting the drive from GPT to MBR., so it's a mbr drive. === SushiDude_ is now known as SushiDude [09:49] peterrus: if it's GNOME's screensaver, that wouldn't surprise me [09:49] syedhamid: not had the issue, upgrading is fine but personaly I always clean install [09:49] syedhamid: upgrades in any os CAN fail.. [09:49] peterrus: if it's xscreensaver, my guess is it was never fully tested against the likes of compiz [09:50] syedhamid: it depends on what the user has done to the OS in quesion a lot of the time. [09:50] peterrus: you should be able to tell the system that closing the lid means: log out & then suspend [09:50] peterrus: or even display a blank image fullscreen then suspend [09:50] reisio, I think locking takes a bit to long, so it just goes ahead and suspends [09:51] anyway, this could be classified as a bug [09:51] Skizu: oh, that's quite pretty isn't it. I'll enable that myself :) [09:51] peterrus: yes, certainly [09:51] it suspends as its shutting down ;_ [09:51] how can i make a backup of /home/ the fastest way if i have 4gb [09:51] :) [09:51] Anyone here who can help me with a tweak on gnome screensaver or xscreensaver, making it so it logs the user off when it activates? [09:51] syedhamid: to where? [09:51] syedhamid: Also, that's why partitioning is a good idea too. Separate home = worst case you're only having to reinstall your programs/some settings. Good thing about linux, you can keep most of the system and only reinstall the base [09:51] syedhamid: copy all your files somewhere off line. or to your ubuntu one accouint. [09:51] somsip: Lol well it's readable [09:51] syedhamid, I have had multiple failed upgrades, seen alot of other people where upgrades failed, it just happens, if you don't backup your system, you are just waiting for shit to happen. Making backups sucks, sure, but they can save you a lot of stress. You could have a look at commercial solutions such as Acronis True Image Home, really makes it a painless experience, but you will need a external hdd with at least the size of you [09:51] r internal hdd I suppose [09:51] peterrus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [09:51] lol [09:52] well, no, separate /home worst case you still lose it all [09:52] to my USB [09:52] So rewrite appears to be enabled as it's showing in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled but I can't seem to get it to work anyone got ideas why I'm still hitting a 404? [09:52] Skizu: yeah. I always tail a log on a different monitor, but it's worth enabling that I think :) [09:52] syedhamid: rsync -av /home/foo/ /media/whateverusb/ [09:52] Anyone who can help me with screensavers in ubuntu? [09:52] Skizu: in your virtual host, amke sure you AllowOverride to make .htaccess accessible [09:52] Zorky, I think ubuntu questions would be a good place for that [09:52] Skizu: syntax right? is it overridden somewhere? [09:53] somsip: In php.ini? [09:53] reisio: is that the fastest way? and will my /home/ will be deleted after I copied it to my USB? [09:53] peterrus: irc chan? [09:53] reisio, syedhamid rsync -ravuh --progress /home/foo /media/whateverusb ;) [09:53] syedhamid: might be faster with just -a instead of -v [09:53] Skizu: /etc/apache2/sites-available/default if you have no other vhosts setup yet [09:53] syedhamid: just copies, doesn't delete [09:54] Zorky, it's a site, this question is so localized, you really shouldn't expect anyone here to answer it, at this exact moment [09:54] reisio: how does having a separate /home partition mean losing it in a new install? You can select to preserve it [09:54] peterurs: what does "uh" mean? [09:54] peterrus* haha [09:54] So it says allow override none I need to make it true? [09:54] syedhamid, update and human [09:54] so update files already there [09:54] and human is to get human readable filesizes [09:54] and "h"? [09:54] Skizu: Change None to All (ok on local dev server) [09:54] progress to see the progress [09:54] nowayride: ah, thought we were talking about failures :) [09:54] peterrus: ohh. : / [09:54] r for recursive which means: also copy all subfolders [09:54] i am confused by that "h" thing still [09:55] it is the perfect backup command, write it down, it will save lives [09:55] Well an install failure still shouldn't be touching partitions marked to preserve [09:55] -r is probably redundant to -a [09:55] Skizu: restart apache again [09:55] -u is redundant to a fresh dir [09:55] -h is redundant to not wanting -v to speed it up [09:55] rsync -a foo/ bar/ [09:55] hello everyone, I download the eclipse.tar.gz, and I extract it in ~/eclipse, can anyone tell me How to completely uninstall eclipse? [09:55] reisio, -h is for human readable [09:55] i use rsync for my backups in a nightly cron task [09:55] file zises [09:55] iycv: rm? [09:55] sizes* [09:55] hey guys can i reinstall ubuntu without having to format my hard disk allover again? [09:55] peterrus: nothing to read if you want it to go faster by outputting nothing [09:56] reisio, true, but I like to keep an eye on things when doing it manually [09:56] MonkeyDust: not rdiff-backup? :) [09:56] in cronjobs, thats an entirely other story ;) [09:56] somsip: we have success [09:56] mohamedn3na3a: kinda [09:56] hi [09:56] nreisio: rm doesn't work [09:56] Skizu: good [09:56] peterrus: and I, but he saked for faster :p [09:56] rigo88: hi [09:56] can u tell me how? [09:56] iycv: why not? [09:56] reisio: hi here too :) [09:56] mohamedn3na3a: you've got one partition? [09:56] reisio: why did you told me to put "v" out of the way? [09:57] yea [09:57] reisio, yes, but seeing that he isn't exactly an ubuntupro, I though a little verbosity goes a long way xD [09:57] now im really not sure that my catalyst 13.04 is installed well.. [09:57] I can't find the .eclipse/ fold [09:57] i mean 13.4 [09:57] I am trying to connect using SSH to a remote server but it doesn't show me anything, the process isn't terminated neither connected, however connecting using putty through SSH works fine [09:58] syedhamid, -v shows you which file it is copying, removing -v copys the files faster, but then you don't know what it is doing [09:58] I always use -v when doing a manual backup, like you are doing [09:58] reisio let me explore that :) [09:58] skeuomorf: ssh -vvv and check the last line it hangs at... and are these from the same IP? [09:58] peterrus: will my terminal be corrupted? [09:58] skeuomorf: ssh -vvv will give you lots of extra info [09:58] You could be firewalled or blocked otherwise [09:58] syedhamid, what [09:58] /home/ is like 87GB [09:58] nowayride: same ip yes, will ssh -vvv now [09:58] with 384719471931 files [09:58] syedhamid, no problem, but it will not fit on a 4gb usb stick xD [09:59] Do you use .ssh/config? [09:59] peterrus: it'll take hours, and my terminal will stop? like, it'll get tired or something [09:59] this happened to me a couple of times === jzheng is now known as jzheng_afk [09:59] syedhamid, no, your terminal uses a great amount of coke, it can go on for days without stopping [09:59] really [10:00] and peterrus: if I copy 50GB to my USB, and the rest 30GB to some other USB, is this possible? [10:00] can someone pm me that has knowledge of ubuntu server and connecting to other computers please [10:00] nowayride: no [10:00] how can I do that? [10:00] if your buffer gets full (the text you can scroll back to in your terminal) it will just discard old lines, so no problem at all [10:00] Warsmokey: how are you wanting to connect? [10:00] syedhamid, yes then you would use rsync -blaa /home/foo/porn /media/usb-for-porn/ [10:00] somsip: thanks for your help [10:00] Or at least a tldr so you don't get a flood of PMs of "Oh, I don't know" [10:00] what does -blaa mean [10:01] and rsync -blaa /home/foo/otherstuff /media/usb-for-the-rest [10:01] Skizu: your welcome. Come back and help someone else when you get chance :) [10:01] and yes peterrus, my /home/ mainly consists of asian trap porn [10:01] syedhamid, i dont feel like typing it all agaiin [10:01] *you' [10:01] syedhamid, lol [10:01] somsip: When I get the skill you mean haha [10:01] Skizu: :) [10:01] peterrus: now that you said that P word, i must do my duty as a dude. [10:02] beatin' da thing [10:02] brb [10:02] please keep that to yourself, and all will be fine [10:02] @nowayride so i have a 2800 dell raid 5 mounted with ubuntu server, i'm trying to connect 4 windows 7 computers to access the data only on the server but i'm having a hard time for even one to connect to it [10:02] lol peterrus xD [10:02] !tmi | syedhamid [10:02] syedhamid: Um thanks... We *really* did not need to know that... [10:02] peterrus: have you tried using rsync yet? [10:02] syedhamid, I use it all the time [10:02] peterrus: is grsync a good option too? [10:02] makes two automatic backups every week [10:03] Warsmokey: what protocol are you trying to connect with? Are you doing this just as a backup or looking for a persistent connection? [10:03] i had to download from amd.com manually the 13.4 cause if i did apt-get update, upgrade, dist-upgrade on a fresh 12.04 x64 server, than after reboot apt-get install fglrx (than lxde etc... and reboot) the sys freezed at boot.. [10:03] somsip: May need your help some more ;) [10:03] syedhamid: rsync is resumable, if it's interrupted just re-run the same command [10:03] You can use scp (like winscp) for one offs [10:03] Skizu: you can ask... [10:03] syedhamid, never used grsync, I dont like GUI programs for terminal programs, they often obscure too much functionality I am looking for [10:03] nowayride: am I using ssh correctly? ssh user@server:port [10:03] syedhamid: rsync -a /home/foo/ /media/path/to/emptydir/on/usb/ [10:03] @nowayride a persistent connection i [10:03] somsip: php5.4+ on my box rather than the 5.3.10 I seem to be getting [10:03] skeuomorf: ssh -p port user@remote [10:04] reisio, syedhamid that is exactly why it is so handy, just re-run the command if something fails, and you are back on track [10:04] reisio: how can I make rsync make backups every week? [10:04] somsip: thanks, that was the problem, me writing the wrong command, fail! [10:04] syedhamid: cronjob [10:04] syedhamid, use cron, the internet knows all about it. But first make sure you completely understand rsync of you will get nowhere in life [10:04] Skizu: you need a PPA. http://is.gd/f6m78g [10:05] skeuomorf: np [10:05] thanks somsip nowayride for the great help [10:05] NP [10:05] syedhamid: do you want 1:1 backups, or cumulative (each week new things you added to your filesystem are added to the backup)? [10:06] Out of interest, is there an "official" method for creating a bootable Ubuntu liveUSB from Windows? I always just use unetbootin or lili [10:06] the former only protects you from hardware/software catastrophes, the latter protects you from yourself and other users [10:06] blazemore, it is the 'official' way [10:06] somsip: Looks dangerous haha, it is fine to update to 5.4 without issue? [10:06] yes reisio [10:06] blazemore, unetbootin at least [10:06] blazemore: I think help.ubuntu.com has pendrive linux listed [10:06] peterrus: I see a lot of other tools like the Suse image writer being used too [10:06] blazemore: dd is going to be the most reliable, but it's also the most dangerous and least simple for many :p [10:07] Skizu: it's on my todo list for my production servers.

[13:02] bekks: Is it some configuration I need to set during the installation? [13:02] petapetapeta: You need to configure the raid controller, in the raid controller bios. And therefor, you need to know the exact make and model. [13:03] hi guys, due to some issues between the latest kernel and my nvidia drivers i find myself using an older kernel, i am planning to delete the newest this way http://askubuntu.com/questions/106031/how-can-i-remove-new-kernel-versions-after-downgrading i just wonder if there is anything i should know about kernels before doing this and whether i can prevent the latest from being downloaded/installed [13:03] Twenty-three: it'll warn you if you try to remove a kernel you're using. It's relatively safe. Make sure to dl the headers, too. [13:03] Twenty-three: Which version of "latest kernel" do you refer to, as well as which version of "my nvidia drivers"? [13:04] Twenty-three: also, make sure to update your bootloader [13:04] bekks: Okay I will try to figure it out. I am planning on keeping the OS on the sdd disk and put databases on the RAID disks [13:05] Is that an acceptable approach? [13:05] Hawkerz Didn't help to change grub.cfg from hd0,gpt6 to hd1,gpt6 (it is still starting in rescue prompt) [13:05] bekks, the kernel that is giving me issues is "linux-headers-3.8.0-27" and the nvidia drivers i use are 304.88 [13:05] How can I change the bootlogo on Ubuntu? [13:05] petapetapeta: For a database server, the SSD is just wasting resources. [13:06] bekks: It's both a database and application server [13:06] seg, bekks, alternatively, is there a way to boot using 3.8.0-19 by default? [13:06] esing, it looks like ubuntu can't find a partition it likes to boot from [13:06] petapetapeta: As long as it is a server, using an SSD is wasting resources. [13:07] Hawkerz Yep, that looks like it [13:07] how can i change the bootlogo on Ubuntu? [13:07] x-s4nd3r: that would be the plymouth package and themes. You need to research ubuntu plymouth themes [13:07] bekks: Cool :) I will strip that away then. So is it okay to just run it from two drives in RAID? [13:07] Hawkerz I found in /boot/grub/grub.cfg more hd0,gpt6 instead of hd1,gpt6, should I try to change them all to hd1 and backup the grub.cfg before? [13:07] philinux: where is the bootlogo file in ubuntu? [13:08] petapetapeta: If you really have a true (no fake-raid) RAID controller, then you are fine. [13:08] x-s4nd3r: it's not as simple as that you need to change the plymouth theme [13:08] Hey guys..! I have been using the Dell Vostro 5460 lately.. and it comes pre-installed with Ubuntu 12.04 (with few customizations done as well).. However, an issue of low audio output is plaguing Linux users on the same... I have also filed a bug on Launchpad.. Is there someplace where I can help/get help..? Thanks..! [13:08] esing, i'm pretty sure you have a sata drive no? [13:08] bekks: I hope that it's gonna be a true RAID controller then ;) [13:10] !plymouth [13:10] Plymouth is an application that runs very early in the boot process (even before the root filesystem is mounted!) that provides a graphical boot animation while the boot process happens in the background. To change your Plymouth theme use « sudo update-alternatives --config default.plymouth && sudo update-initramfs -u » [13:10] x-s^^^ [13:10] Hawkerz Iam not sure [13:10] Hawkerz I think it is PCI-E [13:10] Hawkerz "128GB PCIe SSD drive" [13:10] It's inbuilt, one can't unplug it [13:11] /boot/grub/grub.cfg might shed some light [13:11] esing: Of course you can unplug it then. :) === Deyan is now known as Guest41790 === philipp_ is now known as esing2 [13:12] looks like at the very least you need a few extra boot parameters [13:12] can you recommend a program which will do offline translation? would be very nice if i can bring up the program with a shortcut and type in my word. after that i can hide the program again with a shortcut [13:12] I found a command called write where i can write to a user.. Do the user need to b on same computer,same room or same network? or can user b anywhere no matter what network? [13:12] Hawkerz, http://ix.io/7hg [13:13] bekks: Btw. What makes you say that SSD in a server is wasting resources? [13:14] low amount of write cycles? [13:14] petapetapeta: ssds are overkill on servers until disk caching becomes a problem. most servers want an abundance of ram. its not a waste if performance is your number one priority, but it's usually overkill [13:15] petapetapeta: it's really dependant on server task though [13:15] Is that possible? [13:16] petapetapeta, I run kvm on my servers, and an ssd is an excellent drive to run the VMs from [13:16] seg: yeah that makes sense. But I guess that since we need to store a large amount of data, SSD isn't the most viable choice [13:17] Cyrax: write is referring to ttys I believe, so that'd be same computer. try typing man write [13:17] esing2: got access to a web browser? [13:17] how can i create my own ppa ? [13:18] compdoc: But I guess it depends on what you would be using the VMs for right? [13:19] petapetapeta, doesnt matter - a fast drive works best [13:19] compdoc: or a faster interface :) [13:19] petapetapeta: He's right, spinning platters just happen to be cheaper, so they make sense in some places [13:19] compdoc: Unless you need to store an amount of data which results in it not being a viable option anymore due to pricing [13:20] Is there a folder that would contain my old graphics drivers? Need to reinstall one [13:20] esing, you need to add a kernel boot parameter to /etc/default/grub - then you need to regenerate the grub config [13:20] the parameter is: "libata.force=noncq" [13:20] so what do I need to do to b able to write via terminal to someone else without b on same computer or network? [13:21] petapetapeta: There are varied circumstances, too. You could run the server itself from a VM on an SSD, but have that vm utilizing mass storage elsewhere. on a budget just use the SSDs where random file seek time matters most [13:21] Cyrax: thats not possible. [13:21] ok.. thanks :D [13:21] Cyrax: IRC :D [13:21] compdoc: You could send a mail [13:21] whoops. THat was for Cyrax [13:21] Hawkerz Do you mean I should add it to GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash libata.force=noncq" [13:21] petapetapeta: compdoc: even faster is tempfs, all runs in RAM then, no slow HDD storage in any form [13:21] i could send mail via terminal? how? [13:21] yes === companion is now known as Companion [13:22] is ubuntu easy to use i want to learn linux? [13:22] Cyrax: You need to setup a mailserver first, and then use the mail command or a command line mail application. [13:22] esing, that's what this guy says and he had your laptop: http://elouisyoung.blogspot.com/2013/07/configuring-2013-sony-vaio-pro-13-with.html [13:22] seg: Yeah it's something like that I was considering. But I am not sure how efficient that would be [13:23] Hawkerz I regenerated the grub config with: sudo update-grub [13:23] esing, I suppose you probably need to have EFI enabled in the bios but you already do so that shouldn't be an issue [13:23] is ubuntu easy to use i want to learn linux? [13:23] Any link how i set up mail server? only need to give me a link.. thats all [13:23] linuxearth: its one of the easiest [13:23] esing, just check /boot/grub/grub.cfg and make sure it survived [13:23] ActionParsnip: oh i see [13:23] and learning linux too? [13:23] linuxearth: depends on mentality and attitude etc. Have a try. It is free [13:23] i just come brb [13:23] ActionParsnip: That sounds a bit too expensive :P [13:24] petapetapeta: how? Ram is stuidly cheap :) === mdupont is now known as jmdppl [13:25] ActionParsnip: Depends on what you compare it with ;) [13:25] seg, bekks, if i were to mess up the deletion of my linux-headers, is there a chance it could be irreparable? [13:25] Twenty-three: video drivers wont install [13:25] petapetapeta: oh for sure [13:25] Hawkerz Hm, when I reboot the system still starts up in grub's rescue prompt [13:25] Twenty-three: Why do you remove linux-headers at all? [13:25] Twenty-three: they depend on the headers [13:25] Twenty-three: the nvidia ones you were mentioning specifically I mean [13:25] noted, [13:26] esing, i didn't ask before, but did you actually install anything? [13:26] or has it just been dying? [13:26] bekks: issues with my nvidia drivers so i'm going back to a previous version [13:26] Twenty-three: if you revert to the nouveau drivers I dont believe they need the headers. Might be a good option til you figure out your problems [13:26] Twenty-three: To a previous version of what? === cemerick_ is now known as cemerick [13:27] bekks: i am switching from linux-headers-3.8.0-27 to linux-headers-3.8.0-19 [13:27] Hawkerz No, the linux installation is new, I didn't install anything on it [13:27] Twenty-three: You cant switch headers without switching the kernel. [13:27] esing, but there -is- a linux installation? [13:27] petapetapeta: encoding video etc flys if you do it in tempfs. I keep my browser cache in tempfs to save having to write the data to my hdd, also speeds up reuse [13:27] as in, you were able to install but it just doesn't boot? [13:27] or it won't even boot the live usb [13:28] Twenty-three: the headers must be the same as the kernel. [13:28] Hawkerz It came with Windows 8, then I resized the Windows8 gpt partition, then I created the linux partitions and then I installed linux into /dev/sda6 [13:28] bekks: i had assumed they were about the same thing, how would i go about it then? [13:28] Twenty-three what do you want to achieve? maybe there's a different way [13:28] seg: Would it be beneficial for me to use the SSD for the OS installation and web application, and the RAIDED disks for storing most of the data and handling data retrieval [13:28] Hawkerz The live cd boots fine [13:28] petapetapeta: ideally, all SSD. if you're saving money, save the SSD for the stuff that is critical to access fast [13:28] petapetapeta: No. Using an SSD in a server is wasting resources. [13:28] petapetapeta: sounds like a plan [13:28] petapetapeta: is dmcache in a release these days? [13:29] petapetapeta: ideally no disk at all and all RAM, really [13:29] can i ask for help here? [13:29] Hawkerz And I can boot into the installed linux desktop when I issue: set root=(hd1,gpt6) and then: linux /vmlinuz root=/dev/sda6 ro and then: initrd /initrd.img and then boot. [13:29] (When Iam in the grub rescue prompt) [13:29] petapetapeta: but we're not all made of cash haha [13:29] hagrid yes [13:29] MonkeyDu1t: the 3.8.0-27 caused issues with my nvidia drivers (would display the lowest resolution, only one screen and the launcher was gone, troubleshooting suggested that opengl failed to open but i couldn't really fix anything [13:29] esing, ohhh....now that is interesting... [13:29] and it boots fine? [13:30] Yes [13:30] MonkeyDu1t: trying linux-headers-3.8.0-19 worked fine so i guess i'll just stick to it [13:30] hm [13:30] @MonkeyDult , my prolem is that I cannot get past the purple splash(or booting) screen when I load ubuntu 12.04.2 [13:30] nevyn: huh? [13:30] dmcache [13:30] Hawkerz Maybe I should try to modify all hd0/gpt6 in grub.cfg to hd1/gpt6 [13:30] you use the ssd to accelerate writes to the raid [13:31] Ahh haven't heard about that :) [13:31] @Monkeydult, I have tried the usual methods of 'nomodeset' and 'acpi'. [13:31] so instead of choosing badly what you put on the ssd and what you put on the spinning rust you let the computer just work it out dynamically [13:31] MonkeyDult , my prolem is that I cannot get past the purple splash(or booting) screen when I load ubuntu 12.04.2 [13:31] seg: All SSD might be a bit too expensive. Also it would require me to set up a f-load of SSD disks to store all the data :D [13:31] Monkeydult, I have tried the usual methods of 'nomodeset' and 'acpi' [13:32] nevyn: uhh that sounds smart! [13:32] esing, it's worth a try at this point -- efi may not be recognizing the install properly (it doesn't appear to be) [13:32] esing, are you using 13.10? [13:32] I give it a shot [13:32] Yes [13:32] petapetapeta: so everything is on the raid (high reliability) but the things you're accessing right now are hot in the ssd as a cache [13:33] petapetapeta: I really don't even know what you're trying to host. In reality, if I were hosting a NAS or something, I wouldn't consider SSDs personally. Hell, most SSD things id consider I would rather just do with RAM on a server. [13:33] nevyn: That sounds exactly what I want [13:33] MonkeyDult: are you there? [13:33] but I think you need a newer kernel than what's in 13.04 [13:33] hagrid maybe it's a videocard issue? [13:34] MonkeyDult: maybe, but what do I do to repair it? Can you suggest something? [13:34] hagrid no, repeat your question with details every 10 minutes or so, until someone can help [13:35] Monkeydult: I tried booting in reovery mode from grub, that goes ok, and shows me a menu for actions, where I resume normal boot, and the same thing happens. [13:35] hagrid, have you tried booting different linux headers at grub? it worked for me, at some stage [13:35] Monkeydult: ok, thanks. [13:35] does synaptic have ftp support? [13:35] Twenty-three: what do you mean, boot different linux headers [13:35] Twenty-three: are you referring to kernels? Headers are usually only used by other software. [13:35] Twenty-three: You cannot boot linux-headers. [13:36] Twenty-three: And the headers have to be the same version as the kernel used. [13:36] Hawkerz Didn't help either [13:36] hagrid, seg, bekks, yeah, i probably mean kernel [13:36] i have created a local repository, now in that i need to block some packages is that possible ? [13:36] Twenty-three: for example, the nvidia drivers NEED the kernel headers (which are bundled) to create the right module for the kernel to load nvidia stuff at runtime [13:36] esing, apparently in your bios, you need to disable 'quickboot', 'intel smart response technology', and in windows you have to disable 'fast startup' -- you can make sure here that it is installed properly in EFI mode: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UEFI#Identifying_if_an_Ubuntu_has_been_installed_in_EFI_mode === trollingstone is now known as Heisenberg [13:37] Twenty-three, seg, bekks well, it is a fresh install, so I dont have older kernels available. === Heisenberg is now known as trollingstone [13:37] seg: noted, :) [13:37] Twenty-three: I figured you knew, just wanted to avoid confusion for others [13:37] hello? [13:37] stroodlepup: hi! [13:38] Twenty-three: I dont have nvidia, or ati. It is an intel video card. [13:38] seg: gigs of ssd is way cheaper than gigs of ram still. [13:38] esing, this also advises only having one efi partition per disk [13:38] seg: does synaptic have ftp support? [13:38] seg: in servers ssd's are considered consumables [13:38] Twenty-three: thanks for your help, sorry, I have to go now. I'll come back to this channel later. [13:38] you replace them every 2 years on your db server just to get the performance in write iops [13:39] anyone? need help === trollingstone is now known as WalterWhite === WalterWhite is now known as trollingstone [13:40] nevyn: yeah, I understand that, but as I said personally I place more value on raw storage, as my funding is finite, and the amounts of ram I would need to host a small database server are within my budget. [13:40] nevyn: thankfully I dont need to fund any real operations ;D [13:41] I'm monkey [13:41] monkey how nice [13:41] oh [13:41] all: does synaptic have ftp support? [13:42] How do i reinstall an old driver through terminal, is there a folder where old module are stored? [13:42] stroodlepup: no. but libapt does [13:42] How to learn English? it's hard [13:42] nevyn: libapt? [13:42] stroodlepup: synaptic doesn't have http, ftp ssh nfs or the ability to read packages from a filesystem [13:43] stroodlepup: ask the real question. [13:43] I have a critical command for fixing my graphics card issues that I need to run and I cant get it to work for the life of me, from what I can tell everything is okay: sudo update-alternatives --install /etc/ld.so.conf.d/x86_64-linux-gnu_GL.conf x86_64-linux-gnu_gl_conf /usr/lib/fglrx/ld.so.conf 100 --slave /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules [13:43] usage is: --install [--slave ] [13:43] everything is there, so dont understand why its spitting out the info screen every time [13:44] well you're missing the last and arguments for --slave [13:44] oh crap [13:44] nevyn: that was the question. i was using an ftp mirror for my app dowloads but synaptic does not have an ftp option anymore [13:45] Is there Asian? [13:45] tsimpson, sometimes just takes another set of eyes I guess [13:45] stroodlepup: it never did [13:45] well it might have in repository editor but that's fixable [13:46] gutsy did [13:46] monkey what language? [13:46] Korean [13:46] you? [13:46] ok the command is working, now its telling me update-alternatives: warning: not replacing /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xorg/extra-modules with a link.

[13:57] djlocus: how do you mean? [13:57] TheCompWiz: Why dont you just install Ubuntu to your USB drive? [13:57] djlocus: not really. That's *some* info ... but can be spoofed or tunneled. [13:57] wait what tunnled? [13:57] bekks: long story short... because I can't. [13:57] what can be tunnled? [13:57] djlocus: what are you trying to actually achieve? [13:58] esing, i'll be around mostly [13:58] Thanks for your support [13:58] djlocus: you can tunnel your connection through another peer... and it looks like it came from the other peer. That does not mean the person is actually there. [13:58] look i was wondering because i havnt got tracked yet [13:58] TheCompWiz: Well... in that case, I have to rest the case, [13:59] bekks: longer-story... I need installation media that has other boot options. [13:59] thats why they have bouncers. bounces your ip every 2 secs [13:59] or 5 [13:59] djlocus: bouncers don't work. [13:59] works for me [13:59] so far [13:59] TheCompWiz: And why cant you first install ubuntu as usual, and add your installation options afterwards? [14:00] djlocus: from your perspective... my IP would look like I'm in Florida... but I'm actually on the other side of the globe right now. [14:00] true [14:00] and it can change every 2 or 5 secs [14:00] all the way you set it [14:00] bekks: you're miss-interpreting what I'm saying. I said BOOT options... not install options. [14:00] I'm trying to get a sync a folder with my usb drive automatically when it is plugged in. It looks like udev + rsync is the best option? [14:01] i been into illinois ,peoria police database and trying to delete the records of my cusin. never got into any trouble uey [14:01] rudivs: that is what I would do but I am very lazy [14:01] yet [14:01] rudivs: rsync is a good option if you only make changes on one side. unison would be an alternative if you may make changes on both sides. [14:02] else if ( c == '\t' ){ [14:02] putchar('/'); [14:02] putchar('t'); [14:02] TheCompWiz, it should update both to whichever is the latest version. Does unison sync automatically, or do I need to run it each time? [14:02] rudivs: you'd need to run it each time. [14:02] djlocus: I just checked your IP from multiple DNS servers and it comes back the same every time [14:03] whats my ip? [14:03] djlocus: 50.158.176.196 [14:03] djlocus: Do you have actually have an Ubuntu support question? If you're just looking to chat there is #ubuntu-offtopic [14:03] wtf [14:03] djlocus: your IP isnt changing any, at all [14:03] then...... [14:03] djlocus: your hostname still resolves to the same IP [14:03] what do i need [14:03] djlocus: so when I dig it at any DNS server online, I get that IP [14:04] djlocus: to learn how networking works. [14:04] djlocus: you need to take offthe tinfoil hat] [14:04] ^5 to ActionParsnip [14:04] god damit........ [14:04] how did you pull up my ip online? [14:05] what do you mean it doesn't work like it does in movies? [14:05] :D [14:05] lol [14:05] djlocus: I just typed "/whois djlocus" into my IRC client. [14:05] djlocus: in my irc client. Typed: /whois djlocus [14:05] djlocus: gives: djlocus [~anonymous@c-50-158-176-196.hsd1.il.comcast.net [14:05] the identi is anonymous though, so it's ok ;) [14:05] djlocus: ping c-50-158-176-196.hsd1.il.comcast.net and get the IP [14:06] djlocus: Freenode does not hide hostnames. [14:06] djlocus: not hard [14:06] CatKiller: should do mine :) [14:06] ActionParsnip: You register for that or something and then they do? [14:06] CatKiller: what does my whois say? [14:06] CatKiller: i'm an ubuntu member, so I have a cloak [14:07] how do you type it [14:07] ? [14:07] djlocus: type what? [14:07] http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [14:07] Just googled it [14:07] that thing you did [14:07] djlocus: use the keyboard... [14:07] Ah well I don't need it myself [14:07] i did [14:07] lol [14:07] didnt do anything [14:07] djlocus: /whois ActionParsnip is the command [14:07] Look in the "Freenode" window [14:07] djlocus: then look in your info window [14:09] esing, you could also run boot repair [14:09] djlocus: I wouldnt worry about not having a hidden IP and whatnot [14:09] i see. but how do you hide your self [14:10] I sent the link already [14:10] http://freenode.net/faq.shtml#cloaks [14:10] why? [14:10] djlocus: i am an Ubuntu Member, part of membership is a cloak [14:10] lol... [14:10] so you do alot of bad things little whore [14:11] djlocus: erm...no [14:11] lol. joking [14:11] djlocus watch it now... [14:11] Seems that this discussion that's completely OT is going nowhere [14:11] djlocus: to be honest I dont care about the cloak, its just a bonus imho [14:11] whys that? [14:11] i see [14:12] djlocus: you do realise that hiding your iP does very little [14:12] TheCompWiz, any reason why I couldn't do a 2-way sync with rsync? [14:12] djlocus: most users on Freenode do not hide their IP and nothing happens [14:13] i know. im just saying [14:13] it's just everytime i looked online at my ip it's changed [14:13] rudivs: because rsync isn't designed for 2-way. There are ways to work around it... but they're more hack-ish. unison was created for that exact reason... and nearly does everything the same as rsync. [14:14] djlocus: try using: curl canihazip.org [14:14] djlocus: look at http://ipchicken.com ... that will show you what your IP is. [14:14] everyone lease go buy a second ubuntu edge for your wife [14:14] she wants one. [14:14] djlocus: sorry: curl icanhazip.com [14:14] esing, according to this you also may not have a bootable partition because youre using efi, which means grub doesn't know how to handle it [14:15] Hi, folks! Is ubuntu 12.04.3 really coming tomorrow? [14:15] Hawkerz I run boot repair already. [14:15] TheCompWiz, but I'd have to do it manually each time, which is a headache. I get that it works better, but I'm wondering how serious the data risks would be if I used a 2-way rsync hack [14:16] okay now whats my ip [14:16] Hawkerz Before I run boot repair I was just booting to windows. After I run boot repair the system always starts up in grub's rescue prompt [14:16] rudivs: no arguments... so would we all. You could make a cron-job that re-runs it every five minutes or so while plugged in... [14:16] lagreca scroll down, august 22 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/PrecisePangolin/ReleaseSchedule [14:17] djlocus: 50.158.176.196 [14:17] nope a hidden ip [14:17] :) [14:17] try again [14:18] starts with a 192. === blitzkrieg3 is now known as jmleddy [14:18] rudivs: unfortunately... proper "raid" software doesn't support split-brain... and software file mirroring doesn't run automagically. [14:18] djlocus: still 50.158.176.196 [14:18] djlocus: no, 192 is your LAN IP, not out on the web [14:18] djlocus: changing your LAN IP does nothing [14:18] djlocus: you're behind a NAT. your public IP *IS* 50.158.176.196 [14:18] fuck................ [14:18] djlocus please, your language [14:18] djlocus: I hope you didnt pay for this IP switching [14:18] TheCompWiz, have you ever looked at usbsync (http://wellhoefer.info/usbsync/)? Looks way old though... [14:19] i didnt [14:19] djlocus: you are worrying about nothing at all [14:19] i know. but cant peopel trace you with it.? [14:19] people [14:19] djlocus: trace you to do what? [14:20] trace your ip. unless you change it [14:20] rudivs: that doesn't look like it runs continuously. Only one replication per run. [14:20] djlocus: the internet as a whole uses your IP to get data to you. But to what end would someone 'trace' you> [14:20] djlocus: what would they achieve [14:20] to kill you. or get put in jail [14:21] thats what they will achieve [14:21] djlocus: not going to happen [14:21] whys that? [14:21] !ot | djlocus [14:21] djlocus: #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!

[14:21] why you say not going to happen [14:21] for going off topic? [14:22] djlocus, this is not the channel for chit chat [14:22] i didnt know it was a jailable offense [14:22] * TheCompWiz is still hoping to figure out why hd-media doesn't use the same kernel as the iso. [14:22] esing, can you still boot windows? [14:22] baz..... chit? [14:22] lol === nucatus_ is now known as nucatus [14:23] djlocus: go research credible sites. You dont even know what you are afraid of and what yoyu have in place to apparently 'combat' it doesn't work. At best this is a farce and I don't want to waste any more time on somebody who clearly has no idea what they are talking about [14:23] djlocus, /join #ubuntu-offtopic dont continue here [14:23] TheCompWiz, thanks... looks like ubuntu one or dropbox will probably be the solution here [14:23] Hawkerz Yep, I just need to write 'exit' in grub's rescue prompt, and then Iam dropped into Windows [14:23] Currently I try to setup rEFInd [14:24] ActionParsnip: I don't suppose you know anything about building your own install disk... (other than dumping the .iso to a thumb-drive) [14:24] wtf i was just asking a fucking question. seems like i can do that [14:24] djlocus stop swearing and stop the discussion [14:24] !language | djlocus [14:24] djlocus: Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [14:24] TheCompWiz: you can chroot to the minimal ISO and build up by installing packages etc. [14:25] esing, this seems like a lot of work...kind of shocking [14:25] ActionParsnip: that's the problem... I really can't. [14:26] Hawkerz I agree, I was expecting some difficulties, but it seems having new laptops can be challenging with linux [14:28] Also sony's efi bios is really weak, I don't even see the efi boot entries in it [14:28] ActionParsnip: it seems that the boot images on the .iso do not support the "iso-scan/filename" boot parameter... but the ones located in the ubuntu-repo [14:28] I have Ubuntu 12.04.2 installed with HOME as a separate partition. Can I install elementary OS and make it share the same HOME partition? [14:28] do... but are running the wrong kernel version. [14:28] TheCompWiz: http://www.slashgeek.net/2012/12/26/create-your-own-custom-ubuntu-based-linux-distro/ [14:28] TheCompWiz: http://alllinuxstuff.blogspot.co.uk/2012/07/five-tools-to-build-your-own-ubuntu.html [14:29] ActionParsnip: I'm not trying to build my own .iso [14:29] bhavesh no, because ubuntu and elementary are not the same, /home also contains config files [14:29] MonkeyDu1t: okay, thanks. [14:31] TheCompWiz: what are you trying to do? [14:32] esing, can i see your /etc/fstab? [14:32] install from iso file rather than from dumping the iso to a thumb-drive. [14:32] which ubuntu supposedly supports... but apparently doesn't work. [14:32] Could someone help with this -ubuntu 12.04.2 fresh install, on booting, gets stuck on purple screen (I think its called plymouth). === philipp_ is now known as esing2 [14:33] TheCompWiz: well, grub2 can boot ISO files, so it will work. You will need a small partition to hold the file as well as Grub [14:33] Hawkerz, http://ix.io/7hp [14:33] TheCompWiz: you can then install ubuntu to the remaining space [14:34] esing2, https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/GRUB2#Microsoft_Windows_installed_in_UEFI-GPT_mode <- extra troubleshooting === p0wp0w is now known as p0wp0w|AWAY [14:34] ActionParsnip: When ubuntu installer starts... it remounts the ramdisk... and suddenly can't find the cdrom anymore. [14:34] for 12.04.2 iso anyway. [14:34] I love irssi - awesome [14:34] hi [14:35] Hey how do I use the console to hit a website as if i was viewing it? [14:36] curl === andrex is now known as andrex|off [14:36] Skizu: w3m [14:36] Depending on what exactly you want to see, of course. [14:36] you could also use lynx [14:37] just seems like some weird combo of things going wrong esing2 -- you could try booting with the boot flag 'pci=nocrs' === p0wp0w|AWAY is now known as p0wp0w [14:37] Skizu or links [14:37] Hi, can I ask a question here? [14:37] ActionParsnip: any other suggestions? [14:37] hagrid: I think you just did. [14:38] TheCompWiz: sorry, no one answered, so I thought, no-one saw it. [14:39] I didn't see any question... [14:39] hagrid no one answered, because no one knwos, be more patient [14:40] !nomodeset | hagrid [14:40] hagrid: A common kernel (boot)parameter is nomodeset, which is needed for some graphic cards that otherwise boot into a black screen or show corrupted splash screen. See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter === andrex|off is now known as andrex [14:41] ubottu: I already tried 'nomodeset', with and without 'quiet splash', with the same result. [14:41] hagrid: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) === arunprasadr is now known as arunprasadr_away [14:41] hagrid: you could always try a textmode install instead of graphical... [14:42] TheCompWiz: How do i do that? [14:42] !mini | hagrid [14:42] hagrid: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [14:43] use the minimal cd.... like bazhang suggested... but keep in mind... if the install has graphics issues... the GUI might as well. [14:44] TheCompWiz: So, should I reinstall ubuntu? That would take a lot of time, as my internet speed is quite slow. [14:46] TheCompWIz: Actually, I cannot use the internet, since I use a pppoe connection, which I dont know how to set. [14:47] !pppoe [14:47] Setting up an ADSL/PPPoE connection? Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ADSLPPPoE [14:48] TheCompWiz, do you know if it's possible to hook a script to the unmount process, in the same way that udev can run a script on mount? [14:49] Idleone: I can't boot ubuntu, so i dont think i can use pppoe in the first place. [14:49] hagrid: ah, well first you need to get ubuntu booted :) [14:49] rudivs: I believe so... but I only ever use my own udev rules. I never rely on the auto-mount thingie in ubuntu. [14:50] IdleOne: Yes, that was my question in the first place. [14:55] I get stuck on purple screen on booting ubuntu 12.04.2, have tried 'nomodeset' already, any other suggestions? [14:55] I have just tried to set up a RAID and it was rather easy. But now I see that the sysem reports that it's 2x750gb instead of 2x3tb [14:55] What could be the reason for this?

[15:42] I tried but I'm not sure what to expect [15:42] at a certain point it didnt give any error, but it wouldnt work [15:42] Andres75: Fetch a file from the share. If you can do that, you know the issue is just in the mount config [15:42] having an issue with a Ubuntu box, there is a directory mounted from a CIFS share, when I tried making changes to the mount it doesn't allow me to, but under a windows client the client is able to make change to the materials within, any input into this issue is greatly apreciated.

[16:08] TriBeCa99: nothing about ubuntu 12.04 will prevent that from happening [16:09] just 1 last question. Where can i find guide how to run ubuntu from a CD/dvd? [16:09] holstein: I know in earlier versions the installer couldn't recognize raid 10, which is why I ask. [16:10] i am installing xubuntu-desktop, how can i check which packages i am installing ? [16:10] I just want to make sure before buying 16 $300 drives for 4 workstations that I will be able to get Ubuntu on there without purchasing additional drives. [16:10] TriBeCa99: http://www.linuxplanet.com/index.php/linuxplanet/tutorials/6518/1/ [16:10] After mounting the CIFS share is there a way to change the ownership? [16:11] TriBeCa99: i would test otherwise before purchasing, or save reciepts, as i do with *all* purchases of hardware that is not intended for the OS i am going to be running [16:11] I tried and not even root can change the ownership. [16:11] TriBeCa99: dmraid is supported, but you'll probably want the alternative/minimal/net/server installer rather than desktop live CD [16:11] !mini | TriBeCa99 [16:11] TriBeCa99: The Minimal CD image is very small in size, and it downloads most packages from the Internet during installation, allowing you to select only those you want. The installer is text based (rather than graphical as used on the Desktop DVD). See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/MinimalCD [16:12] yeah we can return anything that doesn't work out, but it would be a pain so I wanted to research in advance [16:12] thanks for the link, reading now [16:12] When I mount the cifs share it keeps coming back as root:root , i woudl like to asign it diferent group and user [16:14] linux-ninja: you cant chown the mountpoint? [16:14] i have a ubuntu VPS with gnome pre-installed. How can I access it? [16:15] TriBeCa99: I've installed RAID stripe+mirror (0+1 or 1+0 ) on lots of Ubuntu servers. For desktop live CD installs it used to be the case that you'd have to drop to a shell prompt and prepare the disk array manually before continuing with the partitioning/file-system selection. I've not done it with recent releases of desktop so I'm not sure about those now. [16:15] How can I access the gnome desktop environment [16:15] eduhat: i would ask the preinstallers how you are intended to customize it [16:15] eduhat: with ssh. a desktop running on a server is not recommended [16:15] holstein, i think I will have to uid and gid the actual mount which sucks anyways, I will report back in a few [16:15] !chown [16:15] An explanation of what file permissions are and how they can be manipulated can be found at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/FilePermissions [16:15] I know its really not a good idea. I just want to try something [16:15] linux-ninja: should be chown the mountpoint [16:15] Is there any way I can revert back to a minimal install of ubuntu?

[16:19] TJ-: I've got RAID 10 working on several servers, but I've never installed the OS directly to that array, and I remember it being a serious pain to get going. I've always had a standalone drive to install on, then built the RAID 10, then mounted it to root. I need to be sure before buying and building these workstations that I can get ubuntu on a raid 10 array with no other drives, or else I'll [16:19] have to go with a different architecture. [16:19] TriBeCa99: Why not do a test run using a virtual machine? [16:19] hi folks [16:20] TJ-: how would I do that? Sorry, not immediately obvious to me.

Any comment? [17:40] Cyrax: no idea, you're looking for something like "Boot Order" [17:40] before i check.. how do I remove this ubuntu from the startup? [17:41] hrmm this is really weird [17:41] Cyrax: Insert a live cd, remove the ubuntu partitions. [17:41] why is indicator-applet-complete not installed with gnome anymore? [17:42] So u mean i have to do that or reinstall my computer to factory default to remove it? [17:42] Cyrax: Correct. === Snake2k_ is now known as Snake2k [17:43] oh well. as long as it doesnt harm the ubuntu there,i can always do it later.. thanks though.. jsut that the ubuntu from the startup won't start at all. says something about put in the DVD again and restart nad something else i dont remember,then repair the disk as 3rd option [17:44] when i try to run firefox i get an error saying: Your firefox profile cannot be loaded. It may be missing or inactive, and firefox doesnt open [17:44] Hi [17:44] i tried reinstalling it but still the same error [17:44] Cyrax: Removing the partitions - erases everything on it. It does not only harm, it deletes anything on the harddisk. [17:44] someone here? [17:44] Zimefeld: Several hundreds are here. [17:44] ok.. thanks [17:44] Is Ubuntu non-LTS more secure than Debian Sid? [17:45] Zimefeld, do you have a question? [17:45] CountryfiedLinux: We dont know how secure debian sid is. [17:45] bekks: Does Sid receive additonal security updates from Canonical? [17:45] CountryfiedLinux: no [17:45] CountryfiedLinux, Canonical had nothing to do with Debian. [17:46] CountryfiedLinux: We dont know wether they incorporate ubuntu patches. At least we dont send them to the devs :P [17:46] CountryfiedLinux: And after that SSH key desaster - I wont talk about debian and secure anymore :P Just my two cents. [17:47] CountryfiedLinux: debian is debian, and should be researched seperately.. the ubuntu LTS's are supported longer, and the regular releases come out more often.. neither are reported officially more or less secure, or intended as such === Clank|Gone is now known as RedefinedClank [17:52] i've got a question, but i'm not sure where to ask it, regarding a legal issue within a package on the software center... who do i go asking about that?

[17:53] !ask [17:53] Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [17:53] TheLordOfTime: in the repos? or linked in the software center? AFAIK, those are not equivelant and dont have to me [17:54] holstein, no idea, my ubuntu system is down and i can't check, it ended up popped up on Ask Ubuntu and i'm trying to find someone to actually provide an answer, but since i can't open the software center here (stuck on a windows system) i have no way to answer your question. [17:54] holstein, http://askubuntu.com/questions/332603/what-is-the-process-for-reporting-an-app-with-a-stolen-icon if you want to peek at it [17:55] TheLordOfTime: you can download and run in virtualbox, or a live CD [17:55] holstein, neither is able to be done here at this time, no admin to install vbox, no CD/USB boot on this system [17:55] (it's a loaner system) [17:55] TheLordOfTime: i dont ever agree with "no way to do something" with open tools.. but, you know your system [17:56] i will not be able to do this for 4 hours or so.. [17:56] holstein, it's a loaner system, and on windows to install VBox needs admin because of vbox networking things, I don't have admin on the loaner system, and they disabled USB/CD boot and locked the BIOS [17:56] holstein, in, oh, three days i'll have my system back (it's being repaired) [17:57] TheLordOfTime: The improperly used icon can be found here as well: https://apps.ubuntu.com/cat/applications/precise/easyadmin/ [17:57] Jordan_U, thank you. [17:57] Hello, I'm not seeing MySQL Workbench in the Software Center. Is it actually not in the package repository? [17:57] Jordan_U, the question now becomes a legal one - who owns the image, was the image released into the open domain by apple or no? [17:58] guzzlefry, i think it was removed, but you can still download a .deb installer from the MySQL dev site. [17:58] hi [17:58] guzzlefry, http://dev.mysql.com/downloads/tools/workbench/ is the site, you can download the workbench from there and install the package manually. [17:58] guzzlefry, but you'll have to update by hand. [17:59] Can anyone help me with Virtualbox on Ubuntu 13.04? [17:59] I'm actually seeing some alternatives that I've never heard of before. :P [17:59] TheLordOfTime: I very much doubt that Apple released that icon so there are almost certainly both copyright and trademark issues with its use. [17:59] That looks pretty good. [17:59] Whenever I try to run a VirtualMachine, I get this Error: Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes [17:59] Jordan_U, then who gets contacted for a violation of legal copyrights within a package? [17:59] I'd love to answer their question and tell them a procedure to resolve the legal issue, or remove the offending package/link [18:00] Can anyone help me? [18:01] gordonjcp, i've just managed to make viewtube play vimeo videos on ubuntu 12.04 but there are still some issues that need to be addressed. watch this space...

[18:05] Hello! Does anyone know how to tfix an Error whenever I try to run a VirtualMachine on OracleVMVirtualMachine? [18:06] How can I backup GRUB so it can be restored after a windows installation to another partition? [18:07] I had to configured the filesystems the hard way, hardcoding the UID and GID in order to work properly, at least is working for CIFS. ;-) [18:07] minidino, Not really needed you just need to reload the grub bootloader. [18:09] wilee-nilee: i am assuming this could be done from an ubuntu liveCD? [18:10] minidino, Yes many use the bootrepair app, this is a mbr setup? [18:10] I tried to start the ubuntu from startup... but i got this.. file: \ubuntu\winboot\wubildr.mbr , Status:0xC000007b ,, what does it mean? [18:11] rather than a gpt uefi...etc minidino [18:11] so this morning I replugged in my router. It got a fresh IP and my MAC is no longer cloned... I can ping & tracert from windoze XP. I can ping, but NOT traceroute from ubuntu - it stops at my router. Googlesync on XP will not connect. Any ideas? [18:12] yes it probably will be. I actually havent set it up yet just planning on how the new installation will go [18:12] apb1963: Did you try tracepath/tracert "-n" on Linux - that will avoid any DNS lookups, which might be the issue on the Linux side (wrong resolver settings) [18:13] I did not. But I will try now. [18:14] Hi any decent bandwith meter/download monitor with graphics?? I have been looking for one and no luck. Any apps suggestions? TIA [18:15] So what does that mean that I mentioned.. seems ubuntu won't start when i choose ubuntu.. any way to fix it? [18:15] No such option. I should point out however that it does in fact resolve the domain. I should also point out that I've also tried with an IP address and get the same stopage at the router. I should also point out, I can ping. So DNS is not the issue. [18:16] yo [18:17] Cyrax: With wubi can be any number of problems. Especially if it starts involving UEFI, Win 8, or raid [18:17] Any way i cna fix it? [18:17] *can [18:17] so i can really start run ubuntu from dvd only [18:17] tracepath I've never used before... trying that is interesting... the hop after the router says "no reply". That says to me the router is blocking return packets.... yes? [18:17] apb1963: Please elaborate on the point about your MAC address no longer being cloned. Are you really connecting to a router or just a modem? [18:18] Cyrax: configure your PC to boot from removable media and burn the image to a disk [18:18] Cyrax: these days, you'd be better using a USB stick [18:18] TP Link router [18:18] which connects to my ISP's modem [18:18] or... MTA as they call it :) [18:18] So u mean usb is more secure? [18:18] apb1963: No, "no reply" means that when the TTL matches that router, it refuses to do ICMP replies. It isn't refusing to route through-traffic though [18:18] Cyrax: secure in what sense? [18:19] that nothing goes wrong like it did now [18:19] Cyrax: mostly it means you don't have to travel back in time to the 1990s to find a PC with an optical drive [18:19] tj- I don't understand what when the Time-To-Live "matches that router" means. [18:20] apb1963: Is the router performing NAT between the network that your computers are on and the MTA? You also still haven't elaborated on the MAC address cloning comment you made. [18:20] It's 1 hop away [18:20] How do I burn as iso on a usb stick :o [18:22] apb1963: tracepath/route work by sending ICMP packages with a restricted TTL. TTL starts at 1 and increases. A router receiving a packet decrements the TTL. If it reaches 0 it doesn't forward it onward, but it *should* reply to the originator with an ICMP response telling it "TTL exceeded". Many routers are configured not to do that to prevent Denial of Service attacks, and therefore you get a "no reply" when tracing the route [18:22] Jordan_U: I have to assume it is, though there's no option to explicitly turn it on. It's providing a private address by way of DHCP. In regard to MAC cloning, when I first got the router on Monday, I needed to clone my address to make it work. For the last 6 months my ISP has been giving me the same DHCP address. [18:22] Cyrax, There are handfuls of usb loaders unetbootin is commonly used there are some that allow multiple ISO's [18:22] What if i jsut transfer the ubuntu.iso to the usb stick? [18:23] then you're just carrying around an iso image on a usb stick [18:23] apb1963: If your ISP requires MAC cloning, and the MAC has cloned to another device on the LAN already, that might explain why the ISP modem/router won't forward packets from the Linux PC [18:23] How do I install gummiboot on ubuntu? [18:23] can u tell me how i burn it on a usb stick and what i need to use? i never done that before [18:23] I cloned its git. How to proceed at this point? [18:23] TJ-: So in order to work, tracepath/route restart a new "round" of ICMP packets with a higher number each time it gets a new response? [18:23] There's no installation instruction file [18:24] Cyrax: You don't "burn" USB sticks, or any other kind of hard drive. What OS will you be setting up the USB drive from?

[18:25] Last night I had so many problems I disconnected the router entirely. [18:25] apb1963: Correct. It sends a packet with TTL 1, then 2, then 3... and stops when it reaches the target host. If they all do 'no reply' it'll carry on for a long time until it gives up without 'finding' the target [18:26] apb1963: You had to clone what MAC address? What did you actually do? [18:26] So it sounds like my issue is that I need to set forwarding on the router. [18:27] Jordan_U: I had to clone XP's address.

[18:30] how much space does it require, and how do you keep up to date [18:30] apb1963: Usually, modem MAC cloning means the modem adopts the first MAC it sees on the LAN side, and refuses to route packets for another other MAC [18:30] is not possible customize nautilus toolbar? [18:31] I logged into the router (on Monday). I set it up. It didn't work. I called tech support. They said to try cloning the MAC address. So I went to that menu item on the router and clicked on "clone MAC address" [18:31] Cloning made it work. [18:31] I've had to do that previously for VMware as well. [18:32] apb1963: Ahh, so it was the router cloning a MAC address rather than either of the computers. That changes things. [18:32] Yes [18:32] AnyBody Can Speak Persian ?

Thanks! === cubix``477 is now known as cubix` [19:11] the iso is the same on both,usb adn virtualbox.. and the ubuntu runs fine via virtualbox [19:11] there is no file that contains all the apps as that would be massive [19:11] janne_, Cool, announcing a question does not benefit you, just asking it does. ;) [19:11] wilee-nilee: can I go to the ASUS guys for help? will they help? [19:11] at least not that i know of. === Clank|Gone is now known as RedefinedClank [19:11] soap_, NOt sure, I would be surprised if they ever heard of ubuntu. [19:11] but this is a ubuntu flatform [19:12] that was for wilee-nilee too. woops,forgot to mention nick [19:12] dillonoliviero, okay, so i have to search manually for all the apps that come with gnome and then download them 1 by 1? [19:12] wilee-nilee: yeah! [19:12] janne_, ubuntu-desktop [19:12] Cyrax, And how did you load it to the usb with what app? [19:12] bazhang, yes? === RedefinedClank is now known as Clank|Gone [19:12] !metapackage | janne_ [19:12] janne_: A meta-package is a package that simply depends upon other packages and brings them in. It's not a real package, but a very useful package that can drag in other package versions. [19:13] wilee-nilee: i dont remember what i changed.. but i changed something in the bios [19:13] bazhang, i see, thank you [19:13] Cyrax, WE are not going to be able to work together, best of luck. [19:13] janne_, kubuntu-desktop for kde, xubuntu-desktop for xfce and so on [19:13] bazhang, omg! that is wonderful, thank you so much [19:13] anyone else who can help here? [19:14] i'm sorry, wilee-nilee.. i'm not so good to explain good [19:14] Cyrax: Whats your exact problem then? [19:14] ADIOS AMIGOS === Rojod^work is now known as RojoD === JZ|Zzz is now known as JZTech101 [19:15] Cyrax, All you have to do is answer questions and leave out the what you think is relevant. [19:15] my problem,is that i want to run only from usb stick.. nad i did burn it on usb stick and changed things in bios to let it run from usb. then I restarted my computer and then it got me to options.. there i could choose to run ubuntu from usb wich i did,then it restarted and got me into terminal only [19:16] that was for wilee-nilee.. [19:16] Cyrax, and whats this about vbox [19:16] Cyrax: vbox cant boot from usb, btw. [19:16] Cyrax, Answer bekks and bazhang they are top grade helpers. [19:16] about vbox is that i use same ubuntu file there as well and on vbox it runs just fine.. [19:17] Cyrax, whats your native language [19:18] wilee-nilee, bekks you mean :) [19:18] bekks: that was for u.. and i need to get into desktop from usb,but it didnt.. do i have to type any command to get into desktop of ubuntu OR need a different ubuntu.iso? i dont know what to do [19:19] bekks: sorry for bad explaination [19:19] bazhang, Heh, you do all right to. ;) [19:19] Cyrax: You cant get "in your desktop" from USB, because its not "your" desktop, but the desktop from the USB which would be loaded. So whats the actual problem you are trying to solve by booting from USB? [19:20] i want to b in the desktop via usb just like i do via vbox [19:21] Cyrax: How did you create the USB bootable medium then? [19:22] bekks: i just dont remember.. i dont follow much about that,but i did make it [19:22] Cyrax: Then try to remember it, because thats an important detail. [19:23] i used Universal usb installer [19:25] Cyrax: And which Ubuntu iso very exactly did you use? [19:25] bekks: ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386.iso [19:25] So i have run into an issue wih my desktop. My procrssor died tuesday, got a new mobo and processor today. When i go to boot, it cant find the drive that mounts home. I have tried an expansion sata card and directly to the mobo. I am not sure what is wrong woth the drive though because when it says (attempt to remount or press a key) it fails and when i plug the usb de ice in it fails to enumerate the fevice. [19:26] Sorry for any spelling errors i am on a phone right now trying to diagnose the issue. [19:26] hello all [19:26] ubuntuissue, ##hardware might be some good help [19:26] HELLO [19:26] I have tried using the onboard usb 2.0 and 3.0 and each one comes with a dailure. When booting into a live cd usb devicrs fail to work then as wrll. [19:28] dillonoliviero, keep it support or questions this is not chat but support. ;) [19:31] So what I do, bekks? [19:31] wilee-nilee are there a lot of issues with uefi motherboards and ubuntu? [19:31] ubuntuissue, I have no idea. === imcsk8|Desktop is now known as imcsk8 [19:32] seem to be but you have replace one I would ask in ##hardware ubuntuissue [19:32] I have just waiting [19:33] blackhat??? help me pls [19:33] ubuntuissue, Cool, a bit of a complex question, not sure the irc is your best source. [19:33] Well due to only having a phone, right now irc is the easiest way to communicate atm [19:34] anonymous1, This is canonical ubuntu support only. [19:35] do i have wrong type of ubuntu.iso file,bekks? [19:37] It has been far too long since I played with /dev/tty* devices. I bought a usb<->serial cable, but when I try to use it, I get "could not open port /dev/ttyUSB0: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/dev/ttyUSB0'" It has crw-rw--- permissions. Any thoughts?? [19:38] ubuntuissue's issue is an ubuntu issue - stop sending him elsewhere. [19:38] I will have a video up soo that hopefully can help resolve the problem. [19:39] SteveH_: When you issue: groups ...does it show your user in the plugdev and dialout groups? [19:39] mmm passive aggressive posting [19:39] SteveH_: You may need be a member of the dialout group - what group owns the device node? [19:39] I only have 4 hiura left to resolve this. The worst possible time that all these evwbts could have happened. [19:39] 4hours [19:39] dialout. Hmmm, let me see if I'm in the group. [19:39] i really dont know what to do, bekks.. either i am missing something or rwong ubuntu file [19:40] *wrong [19:41] ubuntuissue: I suspect your problem is, the new motherboard contains hardware devices that the Linux kernel installed with the Ubuntu installation has no drivers for. That isn't unexpected for new hardware. The solution may be to install an Ubuntu mainline kernel package with Linux v3.10 or v3.11rc5, from https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [19:41] Hawkerz Finally refind was recognized by my laptop. I had to rename its efi label entry to 'Windows Boot Manager". This sony laptop has a very bad efi bios, makes things complicated. [19:41] ubuntuissue: I would guess that either the CPU caused damage when it failed, or something else that caused it to fail also did other damage. [19:41] maybe i should try agian and write some of what i see.. maybe then its better,bekks [19:42] brb again [19:42] ubuntuissue: This also means you're risking the new CPU by running it on a possibly damaged motherboard. [19:42] He replaced the mobo [19:42] TJ- how can i do that when i cant boot the system due to it not finding the home mohnt locatikn [19:42] I did replace both the motherboard and proc [19:42] ubuntuissue: Also possible that the filesystem was damaged. fsck? [19:42] Hawkerz This laptop has no bios option where you can set the efi boot order nor does it recogize efibootmgr => bigger issue [19:42] rebooting and will tell you the end result of unetbootin as opposed to lili [19:43] ubuntuissue: so the hd shows in the bios? [19:43] ubuntuissue: Do the power supply voltages look ok? (In BIOS) [19:43] Hold on... Let me post the video === Dozy|AFK is now known as Dozy [19:43] Should hopefully be done soon [19:43] !who > dillonoliviero [19:44] ubuntuissue: What PC are you using right now? You can use that download the packages. You should also be able to take the hard disk out of the failed PC and connect it to another, then mount its hard disk in the working PC, and install the kernel packages via a chroot [19:44] I am usinf a phone right now [19:44] ubuntuissue: Ahhh. [19:45] Unfortunatwly i dont have another desktop to work with, i have a laptop but no external connector [19:45] ubuntuissue: hang on whilst I grep everything you've written so far so I can catch up! [19:45] Jhutchins i think it is attempting fsck, not sure though [19:46] Sorry hard to type easily and multitask on a phone like this [19:46] Video is at 33 percent last i checked so... Hopefilly you guys can see what is happenibg [19:46] Genii & TJ-: I added myself to the groups (plugout and dialout) and restarted the application but still no joy. Same error message. [19:46] ubuntu3: Let's start from the basics. The PC will boot and BIOS/UEFI will load the GRUB bootloader, which loads the Linux kernel which fails? [19:47] ubuntuissue: It would be better if you described it. I'm unlikely to watch a video. [19:47] oops!! [19:47] ubuntuissue: Let's start from the basics. The PC will boot and BIOS/UEFI will load the GRUB bootloader, which loads the Linux kernel which fails? [19:47] ubuntuissue: So, my next thought is, why not press Shift as it boots and get to the GRUB menu, then enter GRUB's command mode and do some basic fsck stuff to determine if you can identify a problem? [19:48] SteveH_: Group changes won't take effect until next logout/login cycle. And it should be plugdev group, not plugout ( hopefully!). [19:48] ubuntuissue: It would help if you tell us the release/version of Ubuntu installed on the hard disk *and* the make/model of the new motherboard [19:49] Jhutchins & tj- , correct the machine boots through bios/uefi, load grub. Keyboard works fine. Grub boot menu, press enter to boot into ubuntu , keyboard works fine. Boots to ubuntu, keybiard shuts off, drives boot but complains [19:49] Keybiard diesnt work at this point. [19:49] 70% on video [19:50] Model of mobo is GH igabyte ud3 990fxa [19:50] Sorry, genii, thinko problem with the plugdev. I'll try to open a new term, before I try a full on logout. Too much "working" stuff. [19:50] ubuntuissue: That sounds like file system corruption to me, even if the f/s is ok inode-wise, it sounds as if some data areas belonging to files have been corrupted [19:50] Proc is amd fx 8350 [19:51] ubuntuissue: OK, let me look that mobo up to be clear on the driver support [19:51] somebody here available to help me get my web cam working on firefox? [19:51] using ubuntu [19:51] Obviously I really have to logout. [sigh] [19:51] jhonnyboii, Does it work with the cheese app? [19:52] ubuntuissue: which version of Ubuntu? That is important to know since it tells us which kernel is installed and therefore what hardware it might not be able to handle [19:52] yes it workes there, but not in firefox [19:52] what is wrong? [19:52] jhonnyboii, Not sure just making sure it works at all, details are important here. [19:52] 13.04 - server. I know this is not the server channel, i figure rhe provlem also might occur at the desktop level though as eell sibce these are cobsumer boards [19:53] cool. really helpful if you can solve this [19:53] Kerlenl is 3.8.0-27-generic [19:53] jhonnyboii, I doubt I can, sorry. ;) [19:54] I can biot into the minimal grub unterface if that would help at all. [19:55] ubuntuissue: I'm still digging... found something that might help on the Gigabyte forums. Apparently, the not-booting-from-USB issue is a common problem for Gigabyte motherboards, and the issue is usually that it will only boot from the rear mobo-mounted USB ports but not the front-mounted extension ports in the case. Have you tried booting via the rear USB ports? [19:55] ubuntuissue: I am assuming you have a USB flash drive to try of course! [19:55] hi everyone [19:55] I am using the rear usb ports. I do have a usb drive but none that have any form of linux installed [19:55] Is there a way to set the alt-tab behavior to work for all windows and not just application instances? [19:56] such that if I have multiple firefox windows open, it'll list each window in the alt+tab widget instead of just one instance of firefox [19:56] Tj- ^ [19:57] you _can_ use the arrow keys and right click on the alt+tab icons, but that's a little foreign feeling to me :( [19:57] interesting feature nonetheless [19:58] ubuntuissue: OK. Next thing I read was that this mobo (revision 3) also has issues supporting 64-bit Linux and is documented at http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2111223 Is it a 64-bit install of Ubuntu on the hard disk? [19:58] It is. And i do have the rev 3.0 mobo [19:58] Well crap [19:58] ubuntuissue: I also read that this may help you "I was able to get my system working by setting IOMMU to ENABLED in the bios" [19:59] I've installed upadtes on 12.10 and now it hangs at the purple boot screen! I have the ATI Radeon driver installed. Could this be interfeering? [19:59] Hold on leylt me try. [19:59] ubuntuissue: If you want me to do some Googling on your behalf tell me; I know how difficult it is on a 'phone to chase down links quickly [20:00] e-v-o: If you mean at the splash screen, you ought to be able to press the Escape key to see the kernel boot messages and OS startup messages to get some idea why it is getting stuck [20:00] TJ_ and genii: Your suggestions were good and timely. I can now talk to my radio! [20:00] Found that option. Lets see if it boots [20:00] * TJ- crosses things for ubuntuissue [20:01] TJ- thanks, will try that [20:01] Tj- mind if i pm you the video [20:02] how do i kill a process, my skype crashed and i forced closd but i thhink it runs in the back ground [20:02] TJ- pressing Esc does absolutely nothing [20:03] ubuntuissue: something else occurs to me; you could get into the GRUB boot menu, highlight the Recovery item, press "E" (to edit it) and then edit the kernel command line and add to the end of it "init=/bin/dash". If you then Ctrl+X (to boot it with that option added) you *should* find it loads Linux and the initial RAMdisk, and drops you to a shell prompt without starting the rest of the system, which might give you enough tools to test the failing mount points b [20:03] efore rebooting and trying it for real [20:03] Hmmm... When enabling th iommu feature, i run unto more issues [20:03] I get to initramfs [20:03] I'm on a lenovo laptop (W530) my touchpad is acting very its scrolling when I touch it with only one finger (I'm using the nipple right now) [20:04] HI [20:04] im new here no mic here?? [20:04] e-v-o: That's not helpful! Hmmm, try intercepting the GRUB boot by holding down Shift as the PC boots. As soon as the GRUB boot menu is displayed choose the Recovery option and see how it goes [20:04] ya MR-IT irc is text only [20:05] oh thnks i donot now [20:05] im using bugtraq what u think about it?? [20:05] ubuntuissue: OK, well IOMMU should be enabled whatever! So that is progress. From the initrd you ought to be able to investigate the block devices /dev/block/ ? and check what tools are installed in the rootfs to do fsck and other things on all the partitions/LVs [20:05] c [20:05] TJ- tried that already as suggested on some forum but the Recovery option takes me to a menu and when I try to login from there it doesn;t seem to accept my root password [20:06] TJ- I assume the root password is the same as the sudo password? [20:07] e-v-o: "root" doesn't/shouldn't have a password! When you go to recovery the menu -as far as I remember it - should give you a set of options including Drop to a shell, which would let you run tools to find out what is wrong [20:08] When I select "Drop to root shell prompt" form the Recovery Menu it says "Give root password for maintenance" [20:09] e-v-o: which version of Ubuntu is this? [20:09] 12.10 [20:09] So init=/bin/dash just needs to go at they very bottom of the text there? [20:09] Does it need to be indented ornis it fine on the very left [20:11] ubuntuissue: Just on the end of the line, separated by a space [20:11] Make sure you're editing the line that begins "linux:" and not the line below it. The options wrap around and it can be unclear [20:12] e-v-o: I'm trying to reproduce that here in a virtual machine [20:12] Is thwre a rwcommended image host for mobile phones [20:12] e-v-o: Wow! I see what you mean. there's something changed big-time there! === Bry8Star_ is now known as Bry8Star [20:13] TJ- thanks a million for trying though [20:14] http://imgur.com/WjvDeI7 [20:14] Are what i am seeing [20:15] ubuntuissue: Yay, thanks! The mount of the rootfs is failing, due to an invalid argument. I can see the UUID there [20:15] I'm wanting to install an internet filter on my computer. Am runnning 13.04. any suggestions [20:15] ubuntuissue: You notice before that, the fsck of sda1 is failing with "no valid superblock" ? [20:15] Yeah... [20:16] ubuntuissue: If this is a bad situ, then that file-system in sda1 is hosed. If it is a good situation, that is only happening because of the incompatibility of that mobo and the kernel being booted (as is shown by those earlier error messages showing IO page faults) [20:17] ubuntuissue: So, we have to determine which it is [20:17] hello! [20:17] ubuntuissue: Are you at a dash shell prompt now? Did adding that to the kernel command-line work? [20:18] Not that i can see. I am still only at initramfs with busybox and nothing else [20:18] ubuntuissue: That's where you want to be :) [20:18] ubuntuissue: We can check what tools are there for you to do more checks now. [20:19] ubuntuissue: First, lets see what's installed. The executable tools will be in the "/sbin/", "/bin/" and possibly "/usr/sbin" "/usr/bin" directories. I think the latter two directories aren't usually in the initrd. You can do "ls /sbin" etc. to check what tools are installed. [20:21] e-v-o: I found an explanation on how you can get into the Recovery on that system. See this wiki page https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LostPassword#The_Other_Way [20:22] http://imgur.com/fLJtv6t TJ [20:23] I think Lubuntu channel quit. So, I accidentally erased my time and date from my bottom panel yesterday when I was setting up Lubuntu. How do I get it back? === Pock is now known as PocketDog [20:24] ubuntuissue: excuse me for a mo... i have a Siberian Husky sitting on my lap! [20:24] TJ- what the heck is happening that instead of becoming muse intuitive Ubuntu seems to be creating mor ehoops to jump through to get something as simple as recovery done!!!?? [20:24] Sorry feeling a bit frustrated. [20:26] hey is my login directory the one after home? [20:26] e-v-o: Something has gone wrong with the system preventing access to the roofs, so it can't do the usual recovery. That is what has caused the failure of a normal boot, too [20:27] Left_Turn: Each user gets a directory using their username, under /home/ so for example I my log-in directory ($HOME or ~ in shorthand) is /home/tj/ [20:27] Left_Turn: It usually goes like: /home/your-username/your-files [20:27] oh [20:27] TJ- following those instructions, I don't see how to save the changes… when I press enter it creates a new line return and I see no on screen instructions either on how to save the edits! [20:28] is there a special command to see hidden files.. i created a file in /home/me but i can't find it [20:28] i dont know if its hidden [20:28] Left_Turn, ctrl-h [20:28] oh thanks [20:29] Left_Turn: Any file or directory name beginning with a dot "." is hidden by many tools. At the command-line you can see such files using "ls -a" (the -a switch says 'show all') [20:29] ah i see.. thanks TJ- [20:29] Left_Turn, In the nautilus menu as well. [20:30] Any time I try to do anything at all with CUPS, I get "request entity too large" [20:30] Any ideas how I can fix this? [20:30] ubuntuissue: Thanks for that photo of the executables. Lets see if you can get anything useful about sda. First find out how many partitions it has by doing "cat /proc/partitions" then, for each partition, do "/sbin/blkid /dev/sdaX" where you replace X with the partition number [20:30] heh im abit too noob to know what those are wilee-nilee :( [20:30] TJ- anyway, pressed F10 to boot with the changes and it hangs after two lines at "Loading initial ramdisk..." [20:30] ubuntuissue: That should give you some info about each partition to help us find out if there is good metadata to be found [20:32] TJ- that shows the uuid of the drive [20:32] e-v-o: It strikes me those instructions aren't very precise. When it says type "passwd username" it doesn't seem to say you should replace "username" with the username you usually log-in with! Without that key info, that command is mostly useless! === ubuntu is now known as Guest80267 [20:32] ubuntuissue: Does it show more than one partition? [20:33] Hold on whioe i upload pictures [20:33] TJ- I didn't even manage to get that far yet [20:33] ubuntuissue: I'm just trying to figure out what we're dealing with [20:33] e-v-o: OK! well, if/when you do... you're now warned :) [20:34] TJ- http://imgur.com/TWi2NNj [20:34] That is cat /proc partitikns === icelite is now known as waterlite [20:35] ubuntuissue: How many hard drives does that system have!? [20:35] ubuntuissue: I count 8 [20:35] More then that, some are in raid. [20:36] sda1 is /root while the rest either show up or dont. For instance the storage drives that are 1.5 tb are not showing up with blkid [20:37] ubuntuissue: OK, well I think its too serious to mess about with from initrd. You need to get yourself a bootable USB stick with a very recent kernel as well, it ought to be a 64-bit install too, to match what is on that system. Then, try/get the USB drive to boot correctly, then you can do recovery on the damaged stuff. It could be a big job. === Companion is now known as companion [20:38] Is there an iso and stuff already including with that that i could throw in a usb stick? === Senjai is now known as sirsenjai [20:38] hi folks, can anyone here tell me what the *proper* way of setting up (u)limits in Ubuntu is? It seems that ubuntu does not have support for /etc/security/limits.d [20:38] ubuntuissue: To give you some idea, I'm pretty experienced at recovery, and I've spent the last 7 days working on recovering data from a hardware-failed 500GB drive that had 25GB+ of sectors hardware-damaged. === sirsenjai is now known as Senjai [20:39] Thisbshitbhappened at the most inoppurtune time. I have classes that start tomorrow. [20:39] ubuntuissue: I'd suggest a live desktop image since you have a familiar working environment in that, and can use Terminal to run shell commands. You'll be needing network access and that'll make setting up the network automatic too [20:40] Wjat is the lates 13.04 kernel on the live c [20:40] ubuntuissue: Yup, same here. I've had recovery / clone systems hanging off the back of UPSs all week [20:40] ubuntuissue: I think its' v3.8 [20:41] ubuntuissue: That ought to be OK... you can find out, if it works you're good, if not, then you can add one of the newer mainline kernel images from the Ubuntu kernel team [20:41] hi guys. does anyone have a desktop kindle reader app? if so what do you use? [20:41] Any ideas on how to fix CUPS telling me "request entity too large" every time I try to do anything such as adding a printer? [20:42] Can you pm me a link on how to do that TJ- [20:43] ubuntuissue: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds [20:43] Does it matter that I'm on a old version of Xchat? [20:43] do I really been an update [20:43] waterlite, ask in #xchat [20:44] curtism: That usually indicates you user isn't a member of the "lp" group, or that the owner/permissions on /var/spool/cups/ are wrong [20:44] TJ-: I've made my user a member of lp, what should the permissions on /var/spool/cups be? [20:45] curtism: There's an old forums post talking about it; see if it helps, but remember it is 3-4 years old. http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1027342 [20:45] TJ-: Yeah I've already gone through the forum posts and none of the threads seem to end in a solution [20:46] TJ-: Additionally, those old threads mention the `cupsys` user which doesn't seem to exist anymore [20:46] curtism: Have you read/explored the system logs; especially the CUPS logs? [20:46] curtism: /var/log/cups/ [20:46] I really hope tjat /home is not corrupr as there is stiff that i havent backed up from there recently. [20:46] demifuror, A good resource in general rather than polling the channel. http://askubuntu.com/search?q=kindle [20:47] Going to take 2p minutes for ubuntubiso tobdownload anyways [20:47] TJ-: The cups logs are empty, and I can't enable debug logging afaict because `cupsctl LogLevel=Debug` also errors with "request entity too large" [20:49] curtism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5986455/ [20:49] TJ-: And on /var/spool/cups itself? [20:49] curtism: This is a better one; I used "ls -al" http://paste.ubuntu.com/5986461/ [20:50] is there a linux/unix manual.. like official documentation.. i really don't like man [20:50] curtism: I also notice, on 13.04, my user is a member of "lpadmin" [20:50] Left_Turn: it's not quite as simple as that [20:50] oh [20:50] TJ-: My user is in lpadmin as well [20:50] Left_Turn: There's man pages, info pages, HTML pages, and everything inbetween! [20:51] Left_Turn: everything is made up of individual little projects, so it's not like there's one big Book Of Linux [20:51] curtism: Anything in either auth.log or syslog? [20:51] oh i see:( [20:51] Left_Turn: and if you buy one, next week it will be pretty much completely obsolete [20:51] oh no:( [20:51] ubuntuissue: Was /home on a mirrored drive? [20:52] this OS is like the jungle or wilderness... so easy to get lost:( [20:52] TJ-: My permissions on /var/spool/cups match [20:52] how much money did Linus make off of Linux besides awards? [20:52] Left_Turn: it's just unfamiliar [20:52] Left_Turn: One of the 'arts' of a Linux user especially, is being able to deduce from nothing that the docs you are reading are 10 years out of date :) [20:52] heh yeah:) [20:52] Left_Turn: you think Linux is hard, try to use Windows some time [20:52] heh windows? [20:52] curtism: Something must be logging a clue somewhere! [20:53] TJ-:) [20:53] Left_Turn: I tried it for the first time a couple of months ago, still no idea how it's supposed to work [20:53] Hello people of the server [20:53] is there a list of perfectly compatible hardware that goes with linux? [20:53] or ubuntu [20:53] curtism: Could you strace or gdb the process that throws the error? Might give you some clues [20:53] TJ- found where the boot falls over at: "Stopping anac(h)cronistic cron" [20:53] oh i see... i come from windows... its all gui.. very easy honestly:) [20:53] Left_Turn: no, it's not easy [20:53] Left_Turn: how do you tell all the little squares apart? [20:53] heh [20:53] e-v-o: OK... be wary though, the actual fault might be nothing to do with the last message that was displayed. [20:54] Left_Turn: how do you know where in all those little squares the thing you want to change is? [20:54] Left_Turn: I still haven't figured out how to get wifi working on it [20:54] i see your point:) [20:54] Left_Turn: and how to you pipe the output of one application to the input of another so you can do useful things with the tools? [20:54] is that even possible in windows? === xubuntu is now known as Guest30030 [20:55] Left_Turn: Precisely my point :D [20:55] heh i see [20:55] bekks: I saw on youtube that u can rotate ur desktop as a cube. Do i need to install something? [20:56] TJ- would you be bale to help if I post a picture of the boot messages? [20:56] Left_Turn: Right now I'm in the GUI of xchat helping ubuntuissue. At the same time I have a terminal running "tail -n +1 -f ~/.xchat2/xchatlogs/Freenode-#ubuntu.log | grep ubuntissue" which lets me see just the conversation between me and him [20:56] TJ-: nice trick [20:56] e-v-o: I may, as may others, but without hands-on it is sometimes very difficult to give accurate hints. Sometimes it is down to intuition and experience. === xchat is now known as Guest15079 [20:57] wow thats an awful command to remember TJ- [20:57] Left_Turn: it's not a single command [20:57] oh [20:57] Left_Turn: So is finding the Control Panel Applet for disk management! [20:57] :) [20:57] Okay live cd is burned... Lets see what happens when i boot wirh it [20:58] ubuntuissue: Good luck! I'm hoping :) [20:58] TJ-: This is what happens in syslog when I try clicking "Add Printer" from the cups http admin page http://paste.ubuntu.com/5986485/ [20:58] curtism: haha! It looks as if permissions on the /var/log/cups/ directory are stopping it working :D [20:58] curtism, have you logged out and back in since adding the proper groups? [20:58] Left_Turn: one of the other neat things about doing stuff from a terminal is you can run with a thing called "screen" which lets you disconnect and reconnect from somewhere else [20:59] curtism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5986488/ [20:59] oh really? [20:59] Left_Turn: so in my case I'm running my IRC client on a server somewhere in England [20:59] Left_Turn: I can pick up my phone, open a terminal, and connect to it and see exactly the same thing on the screen as on my desktop [20:59] gordonjcp: What do I need to b able to rotate my desktop on ubuntu? something I have to install? [20:59] http://www.celebritynetworth.com/richest-businessmen/linus-torvalds-net-worth/ [20:59] Cyrax: no idea [20:59] Left_Turn: And with screen, you can use Multiuser mode and have several operators sharing the same console from different remote locations. Great for teaching people how to use the terminal [20:59] Cyrax: some sort of hinge that your monitor mounts on? [21:00] wow that's awesome gordonjcp [21:00] I think its called Compiz [21:00] * TJ- giggles @ gordonjcp [21:00] i see... im going to look into screen:) [21:00] Left_Turn: okay, you can't see this because you're not that near me, but I picked up my cup of tea and I'm now sitting on one of the laptops in the back of my van [21:00] Left_Turn: notice how I didn't disconnect and reconnect? ;-) [21:00] Should i try any arguments on thevboot cd ir just let it do its thibg. [21:00] Cyrax: It depends upon the video drivers - some support rotation, other's don't or need to be done manually [21:00] yep:) [21:01] awesome:) [21:01] ubuntuissue: Let it do everything default to start with. Only change things if it goes wrong [21:01] Left_Turn: it makes it ridiculously easy to procrastinate at work ;-) [21:01] So how do i find out what video drivers i need for that roation? [21:01] TJ-: I changed the permissions on the logs but I still get the exact same thing in syslog [21:02] haha that reminds me of the Procrastinators in Prattchet's Thief of Time [21:02] i see:) im happy i chose to install ubuntu now:) [21:02] curtism: Really? that sounds as if CUPS is not running as root, doesn't it? [21:02] Tj- how ling are you going to be on for tonight at least? [21:02] curtism: "ps -efly | grep cups" [21:03] ubuntuissue: Well it's 22:02 now... I was aiming for an early night as it was 06:00 this morning when I finished yesterday, if that makes sense! [21:03] Just want to get a rough idea of how lomg you can help me with this. [21:03] ubuntuissue: maybe an hour or so [21:03] Yeah [21:03] TJ-: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5986506/ [21:03] It booted to gui which is a good sign... Hold on [21:03] curtism: http://paste.ubuntu.com/5986507/ [21:04] hello [21:04] can somebody help me? [21:04] TJ-: Looks right then :\ [21:04] ubuntuissue: Yay! [21:04] Riptide: Wedont know - state your problem please. [21:04] curtism: OK, so, can you stop the CUPS service and the start it (not just restart) ? [21:04] And usb and what not are workjng with the live cd. So it seems like ilif i can just upgrade the kernel and verify the fs i shoukd be good [21:04] ok [21:05] Can u help find out how i can make the desktop rotate? it seesm rotation dont work for me [21:05] A couple of the drives arenot appearing thougho [21:05] TJ-: Just did that, hasn't changed anything [21:05] Whenever I try to run a VirtualMachine on VirtuakBox, I get this error: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 8.The virtual machine 'Windows 8' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 [21:05] ubuntuissue: It sounds that way, but always have in back of mind there may be some corruption to data on those disks. Step very carefully until you're sure, try not to over-write anything - I always prefer to clone disks for safety [21:05] curtism: I'd try manually starting the cups daemon under strace or gdb then [21:06] I also get this error: Failed to open a session for the virtual machine Windows 8.The virtual machine 'Windows 8' has terminated unexpectedly during startup with exit code 1 [21:06] wait [21:06] Kernel driver not installed (rc=-1908)The VirtualBox Linux kernel driver (vboxdrv) is either not loaded or there is a permission problem with /dev/vboxdrv. Please reinstall the kernel module by executing'/etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup'as root. If it is available in your distribution, you should install the DKMS package first. This package keeps track of Linux kernel changes and recompiles the vboxdrv kernel module if necessary. [21:06] Riptide: Then install the kernel driver. [21:06] Riptide: The error message even tells you how to do it. [21:06] I have tried, but it still does not work [21:07] I dont have a spare drive to clone tto... Atleast not 1.5 tb jn spaceM [21:07] Riptide: Which Ubuntu version do you have, which vbox version do you have, and did you install the official vbox packages from the official vbox site? [21:07] curtism: I'm thinking (as root) "cupsd -f" and "cupsd -t" to begin with [21:08] I have Ubuntu 13.04, and I think the latest VirtualBox, and No I haven't. Do you have to? [21:08] Tj, what be the best way to go about doing this? Npt quite sure. [21:08] This is where my boot screen hangs, can anyone help? http://bit.ly/125D8Ba [21:08] Anyone that can direct me how i can make the desktop rotation on ubuntu to work? [21:08] ubuntuissue: Initially you only need to clone the operating system, which I hope doesn't have much more than 20GB file-system [21:08] Riptide: Which version of vbox do you have? [21:09] The Os is on a raid 1. Which didnt seem to help. [21:09] ubuntuissue: how big is the OS install - I presume it is what was reported as sda1 - ? [21:09] TJ-: open("/var/spool/cups/00000001", O_WRONLY|O_CREAT|O_TRUNC, 0640) = -1 EACCES (Permission denied) [21:09] It was reported as sdaq [21:09] Sda1 [21:09] ubuntuissue: It won't help if the cpu/RAM/south-bridge go bad and send bad data to the disks. [21:09] bekks: 4.2.16 and I don't know if I have the packages installed [21:10] The drives themselves are 80gb, actual filesize is less than 3p [21:10] curtism: You're getting closer! [21:10] Riptide: Then how did you install vbox? [21:10] TJ-: It then goes on to try to open /var/log/cups/error_log and also gets EACCESS [21:10] curtism: Are the permissions on / /var/ and /var/log/ allowing access to /var/log/cups/ ? [21:10] Does anyone use clang on Ubuntu? "apt-get" get's a pretty old version (3.0) is there a way to get something more recent with "apt-get"? [21:11] !find clang [21:11] bekks: I went on virtualbox.org and downloaded the .deb file from there. The .deb file brings me to the Ubuntu Software Center so I can install VirtuakBox. I recently updated VIrtualBox to 4.2.16 thinking it will solve the error. [21:11] Found: clang, clang-3.2, clang-3.2-doc, libclang-common-dev, libclang-dev [21:11] TJ-: Uh, /var is a symlink, but otherwise all the permissions are root:root 755 [21:12] drmeister, 3.2 in raring [21:12] ubuntuissue: Yesterday I cloned a 30GB file-system over the network to a second machine. On the destination I created an LVM LV of the correct size and ran "nc -l 1234 | sudo dd bs=4M of=/dev/mapper/VG-LV" and then on the source I did "dd bs=4m if=/dev/mapper/VG-LV | nc 10.254.251.50 1234" ... that allowed me to clone easily to a different machine. You could easily write the clone image to a file rather than an LV [21:13] curtism: Something is weird. The file system hasn't become read-only has it? [21:13] Uh.... [21:13] How do you list what packages are available to apt-get? I'm new to apt-get [21:13] TJ-: /var is a symlink to /home/var (I wanted to get /var off my / partition) [21:13] wilee-nilee: What is raring? [21:13] ?

[21:14] .... [21:15] ubuntuissue: I was afraid I might, but that's the level at which you sometimes have to think when you're doing data recovery. Always cover your ass, never work on a single un-cloned copy of the data. [21:15] lol? === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [21:16] Problem 1 not vwry familoar with dd or nc [21:16] TJ-: Do you know why it would be an issue? [21:16] bekks: you still there? [21:17] ubuntuissue: I'm thinking as the LiveCD works the first thing you should try is fsck-ing and then mounting the suspect OS root partition into a chroot and then entering it and seeing what things look like. [21:17] curtism: I don't but I'm clutching at straws based on the facts to hand :) [21:18] ubuntuissue: If you can fix the OS (forget about the /home/ for now) that allows you to boot the system normally, and then work natively on making sure /home/ and everthing else gets back to normal. [21:18] TJ-, "Always cover your ass, never work on a single un-cloned copy of the data." an obvious problem with that user from the get go. [21:18] Would fsck'ing fix the superblock ssue? [21:18] TJ-: Isn't there a way I can mount /home/var to /var? [21:18] Riptide: I'm still here. [21:18] Wilee nilee i am still here [21:19] ok [21:19] TJ-: Maybe that would cause less problems [21:19] :/ [21:19] wilee-nilee: He's got RAID10, that is often sufficient. The main issue now is recovering or replacing the OS installation though. [21:19] Riptide: Whats the entire output of "sudo /etc/init.d/vboxdrv setup" ? Please pastebin it. [21:19] Raid 1 not raid 10 fyi [21:19] curtism: "mount --rbind /home/var /var" [21:19] TJ-: Thanks [21:20] On sime of the other drives that are nissing thoufh i font have raid [21:20] ubuntuissue: about the same thing - 2 disks containing identical images. the "0" is just striping.

[21:35] TJ-: ubuntuissue: The filesystem may be fine, you shouldn't run fsck on an active ext filesystem. [21:36] ubuntuissue: You could try letting fsck fix that, but my sense is, there will be data corruption causing all sorts of unexpected failures. I would recommend re-installing the OS fresh into that partition, and then recreating the configuration it had previously. You might do an fsk recovery just so you can access the configuration files under /etc/ and maybe anything you had elsewhere including maybe the list of installed packages in /var/cache/apt/ and /var/cache/ [21:36] dpkg/ - I do that myself to be able to quickly rebuild a system [21:36] ubuntuissue: Jordan_U It looks as if the live CD managed to auto-mount it [21:37] Hello.

[21:48] e-v-o: Canonical, and others [21:48] e-v-o: Directly from Canonical. [21:48] 3different drivws. Homr is one of them [21:48] Te other two are storage drives [21:48] isn;t that a yearly subscription though? [21:49] Then thr 4th one i am willing to risk to test is a smaller storsge for non important files [21:49] Here it is http://pastie.org/8237328 [21:50] Yes, I named my computer after an elder scrolls god [21:50] aptitude -f install want to install lot of pkg I don't want to install and I have no idea why thay are getting install [21:50] how can I get rid of them? [21:50] commodore256: the issue is your .xsession-errors.old file is filing your disk [21:50] hi all :) using 12.04 here. getting "Install these packages without verification?" when trying to install packages gimp-normalmap and libgtkglext1 [21:50] apt-key update doesn't fix. what should i do? [21:50] histo? what? [21:50] How? [21:50] commodore256 delete that xsessions-error file [21:51] commodore256: rm /home/user/.xsession-errors.old [21:51] ok [21:51] but why is it so big? [21:51] commodore256: that will free up 129G make sure you don't have a new .xsession-errors [21:51] webcam in firefox with ubuntu? [21:51] Why does that text file take up so much space? [21:51] canonicals support seems to be directed at businesses. [21:52] can someone help me with this? [21:52] commodore256: it's full of errors would be my guess. You'd have to view the file and see [21:52] ok, thanks :) [21:52] i am willing to paypal you 15 USD if you can solve this [21:52] commodore256: something like tail /home/user/.xsession-errors.old [21:52] jhonnyboii: What application are you trying to use the webcam with in firefox? [21:53] i am tryin to use it with flash [21:53] jhonnyboii: which site? [21:53] jhonnyboii: and do you have flashplugin installed? [21:53] http://www.deiligst.no/chat.html [21:53] is there something I can set a user's shell too that will allow scp but not SSH login ? [21:54] http://www.123flashchat.com/ [21:55] ixio2: /bin/false should work have you tried? [21:55] ubuntuissue: If you can fsck sda1 enough to get the files from /etc/ etc. I'd do that, then reinstall fresh as I said earlier. Get that booting correctly, then work on your other disks. There's no harm in wiping sda1 and very little to be gained in cloning it since you don't have anything vital like /home/ in it. But, make sure that is the case - don't blow it away unless you're sure there's nothing there you need desperately. [21:55] histo: that locks out SCP [21:55] ubuntuissue: At this point I can't make decisions for you; it's your call. Being pressed for time getting a fresh install up and running is the best course, in my opinion [21:57] Odd question. Does upstart work with interactive applications? [21:57] ixio2: give me a sec trying to figure it out [21:57] ixio2: /bin/false [21:57] do i enter this in terminal? [21:57] wut? [21:57] jhonnyboii: that was not meant for you === zmisc is now known as Guest38967 [21:57] I can't find any examples of someone keeping an interactive application alive using upstart. [21:57] oh sorry [21:57] jhonnyboii: /bin/false will break SCP [21:58] open it in terminal? [21:58] ixio2: http://www.snailbook.com/faq/restricted-scp.auto.html [21:58] just that code? [21:58] ty histo [21:58] ixio2: Yes; you need to add entries to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for the user. See "man sshd" and its Authorized Keys section [21:58] wtf why did I leave the channel [21:59] ixio2: Yes; you need to add entries to ~/.ssh/authorized_keys for the user. See "man sshd" and its Authorized Keys section [22:01] histo: is that the only entry i need? [22:01] jhonnyboii: what entry where? [22:01] i cant seem to get anything else respond than password [22:02] sudo /bin/false [22:02] will break scp is what u said [22:02] Tj- what is the best way to clone all the drives jb case? What would be the exact command to clone the drive knto anotjwr drive and then comptess it, verifyjng each step. Sjnce the one drive u am testing with right now.... It is literally going through a list of numbers .(i assume inode pointers) but i àm not sure what it is doing wih them [22:02] johntash: NO that command is not for you. I was telling ixio2 [22:02] oh, any chance you can help me get my web cam to work with firefox? [22:03] anyone know how to change the image on the xscreensaver lock screen [22:03] did you see the page where i showed you the chat [22:03] where you input your password [22:03] from the default computer and red wavy hair [22:03] to something like a biohazard sign === axisys is now known as axisys_brb [22:03] It looks like doing the fsck completwlremoved all files, so i dont have much of a choice on what to do [22:03] i would ratjer back it up and clone the drives at thus point [22:05] Everything was stuck into lost and found.. And even then the file sizes dont appear to marcj up which leads me to believe that theybare corrupt anyways [22:05] jhonnyboii: Those sites don't even load for me [22:05] Psil0Cybin: try running "xscreensaver-demo" [22:05] -rw-rw-r-- 1 cwood cwood 3 Aug 14 22:04 view.html <--- howcome this user an create this file in SCP but cant delete it? [22:05] www.deiligst.no/chat [22:05] what does that do bprompt [22:06] Psil0Cybin: a gui config screen for it [22:06] ubuntuissue: I'd not want to compress a clone; I'd do it bit for bit. But if you do, then you can pipe the output of 'dd' through gzip. If the drives are connected to the same host then it'd be fast (at least 40MB/second). On the same host I'd do "sudo dd bs=200M if=/dev/$BAD_PARTITION | gzip -c | dd bs=200M of=/path/to/compressed/file.gz" [22:06] ixio2: how are you going to delete a file with scp? [22:06] 123flashchat v9.8 [22:06] histo: right click delete [22:06] histo>123flashchat v9.8 [22:07] ixio2: "scp" means "Secure Copy" not "Secure ReMove" [22:07] jhonnyboii: I'm well aware their silly flash app doesn't event load on my browser. [22:07] do you know the code to install flash plugin on ubuntu? [22:08] TJ-: why would right click delete be an option then :s [22:08] ixio2: if the user doesn't have a shell they can't run the rm command [22:08] they are still set to bash [22:08] ixio2: Anything with a right-click by defintion is *not* SCP. It might be using scp and ssh underneath though. [22:08] ixio2: because it's probably sending ssh user@supersecretserver rm /some/pr0n/file [22:09] ixio2: is the user trying to delete the file cwood ? [22:09] view.html === andrew is now known as Guest30204 [22:10] when you ls -l what does the attribute "s" mean ?

Does anyone have any ideas? [22:13] Movingbtonsystem [22:13] ixio2: really? it prints the size of the file... in blocks... i tried to rephrase it, but can't [22:13] as in, how many blocks does it take to store this file [22:13] -rwxrws--- 1 www-data web-m 27 Aug 14 22:00 robots.txt <-- what I mean is the attribute there as "s" what does it mean ? [22:14] Alright [22:14] mattinahat: lsusb [22:14] ohh [22:14] TJ- new nick, I can't deal with using my phone. Its getting very slow and very hot. [22:14] Anyways... [22:14] mattinahat: sorry ignore that missread your question [22:14] ixio2: GunArm see "man 1 chmod" and search for "SETUID AND SETGID BITS" [22:14] mattinahat: lspci | grep Ethernet [22:14] sorry I dont know that. i've never seen anything but rwx and d in that line [22:15] ubuntuissue: OK [22:15] ixio2: that is not typical output [22:15] After performing the fsck, all files on the drive are no longer there, and then I have over 3/4ths of the files in the lost+found folder [22:15] histo: Ok, that listed something. Why didn't it come up with Network? [22:15] The names are still intact in the lost+found folders, after I naviagate deep enough. [22:15] navigate* [22:15] ubuntuissues: That tells us that the root directory or close was badly damaged. Did /etc/ survive? [22:16] ubuntuissues: You might need to do "find /lost+found -type d -name etc" [22:16] mattinahat: because Network is for wireless devices [22:16] I didn't do it on /dev/sda or /dev/sdd (root & home) till i would know what would happen to the drives first. I tested it on a secondary storage drive that didn't host any important files first. [22:16] I wanted to see how bad it was. [22:16] ubuntuissues: Ahhh, OK [22:17] ubuntuissues: It's not looking good I'm afraid. [22:17] histo: yeah, I'm trying to find the chipset of my wireless card. So Ethernet won't give me what I'm looking for? I think. [22:17] ubuntuissues: be careful how you think of the device names. sda is the bare drive, sda1 is the first partition, which contains the root file-system. Same with sdd and sdd1. sdd1 is a partition containing a file-system. [22:18] I am honestly still very confused as to how you clone a drive with dd, but at this point, dd'ing root or home would be great so I can have a backup. [22:18] histo: I started to try and follow this: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/WiFiHowTo [22:18] I know. Always do the partitions, not the physical drives. [22:18] mattinahat: Is ubuntu installed as a VM guest? [22:18] histo: I don't know. I just opened the VM [22:19] mattinahat: opened what vm? What OS are you running? [22:19] ubuntuissues: ideally, you would have backups *before* having hard drive issues.. since *all* hard drives fail.. i might use something like photorec or a data recovery tool to see if i could get the data off before who knows what [22:19] There is no real good way around to prevent this typd of data loss besides backups, is there. [22:19] mattinahat: I usually do "lspci -nn | egrep -i '(ether|net|wire|wifi|802)' [22:19] anyone know how to change the xscreensaver logo picture when you lock your computer? [22:19] Photorec doesn't appear to be a part of the sources I have on the live cd. [22:20] TJ-: That still gave me just the ethernet controller === james_ is now known as Guest53848 [22:20] histo: i'm running windows 7 [22:20] Guess I will have to download it. [22:20] Psil0Cybin: dont cross post.. and if you are not allowed, you are not allowed.. you can for the project, or use a different screensaver/locker that fits your needs [22:20] ubuntuissues: Nope. I have redundant backups here and a long ethernet line to a 1TB mirror array buried in the garden! Just so if fire or a plane hits the vital stuff is safe. The backups via rsync run every hour. [22:20] and in vmware I opened up my ubuntu distro [22:20] mattinahat: Is it a USB device maybe? [22:20] mattinahat: Why do you expect to see a wifi card in a vmware machine? [22:20] histo: uh... [22:21] I dunno ha [22:21] Shouldn't it mirror my actual hardware? [22:21] mattinahat: No [22:21] mattinahat: No. It's a *virtual* machine, not a real one! [22:21] mattinahat: it uses virtual hardware [22:21] right, but the virtual hardware is an interface to my actual hardware [22:22] mattinahat: not really.. that depends [22:22] so i should be able to interact with the wireless card somehow? [22:22] mattinahat: if you have wifi, that will foward "network".. if you have it configured that way.. not wireless [22:22] forward* [22:22] and, forwarding is not the proper term either.. its virtualized [22:23] ok. well running iwconfig gives me "lo no wireless extensions" and "eth0 no wireless extensions" but I'm on wifi [22:23] mattinahat: if you are asking "why dont i see my wireless card?", its because the guest is seeing a "fake", virualized network device.. [22:23] hi [22:23] mattinahat: Mostly, virtual machines create fake representations of a limited number of hardware devices and thats what the virtual machine sees. Some hypervisors allow PCI pass-through so that the VM can use the real hardware (but then the host can't use it) [22:23] holstein: ok.

[22:25] histo, holstein, TJ-: thanks for your help!

[23:34] What should I do if testdisk reports there are 7 different partitions schemes, or reports that a 250 GB hard drive is actually 333GB [23:35] ubuntuissues: repair the partiton layout [23:38] ubuntuissues: Arggh, that sounds worse than I had hoped. I'm concerned it thinks the drive is larger since it should get those figures from interrogating the drive itself, not relying on partition data. === anon is now known as Guest3602 [23:55] Some wmv videos are playing with artifacts in VLC player, Totem and SMplayer, but it played just fine in Windows.
