quibble42quick question: How do I save something (a libreoffice impress .ppt file) from home -> username -> documents -> foldername to a usb0, when nautilus will not register that it exists? please?00:04
FlashSoulYou could try saving it somewhere else and copy it there from console00:04
daftykinsquibble42: df -h to see if the flash drive is mounted somewhere00:04
quibble42daftykins it's sbd1, it IS mounted00:05
daftykinsquibble42: ah the fact you plugged it in afterwards has probably freaked out impress. save it locally, then close + re-open00:06
daftykinsor use CLI to copy it as FlashSoul recommended00:06
daftykinssimples.00:07
histoquibble42: then copy the file to where it is mounted00:07

Guest86792i need to mark a .jar file as executable but im not quite sure how, if somebody could please help that would be great. thank you.00:17
rog3rchmod +x nameoffile.jar00:17
daftykinshah what needs a jar executable O_O since java tends to run it surely it doesn't need it in the conventional sense?00:17
Guest86792i tried that and it didn't work for some reason00:18
k1lGuest86792: either you make a right mouse click and check the box in the rights tab. or you do a chmod +x filename.jar00:18
curatrixGuest86792: Right click on the file in the file manager and check the "make this file executable"00:18
rog3rif it didn't work, maybe the chmod isn't really the problem.00:18
Guest86792it said no such file or directory00:18

daftykinsBrett232: did you modprobe the compiled module after install?01:38
Brett232daftykins: yes01:38

Brett232daftykins: i don't have an eth0 in the list, but i have a p33p1 "ethernet", not sure if that is it01:39
Brett232daftykins: i tried adding eth0 with dhcp config to /etc/network/interfaces manually too, not sure if that complicates things01:39
daftykinsBrett232: weird, have you got a cable connected ready?01:39
Brett232daftykins: yes01:40
daftykinsBrett232: tried running dhclient on the p33p1 interface?01:40
daftykins'sudo dhclient p33p1'01:40
Rad-daftykins:  ah i found hardware diagnostics01:40
daftykinsRad-: i'd probably do some disk checks01:41
Rad-well the thing i got into is called ePSA pre-boot system assessment01:41
Rad-lol01:41
Brett232daftykins: it looks like that worked! it seems like it would have gotten dhcp automatically on restart, though.. hmm. thank you. is there something in particular i have to do to 'cement' this config?01:41
daftykinsBrett232: if you renamed the 'eth0' to that interface name in your interfaces file it could cheat it01:42
Brett232daftykins: i'll give that a try01:42
Rad-also can i ask a stupid question?01:43
daftykinsdo it01:43
Rad-does 'sudo rm -rf /' actually remove everything or does it get to the point where the system isn't stable enough to remove stuff?01:43
Rad-(i've always wanted to ask this question)01:43
daftykinsif you were in graphically it'd probably stop before it cleaned up a lot01:44

wow050DoverMo, the program i'd like to run is an excetuable and someone suggested I run it with sudo instead, how would I do so?01:59
Rad-lol01:59
FloodBot1Rad-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.01:59
daftykinsNick___: when you're booted up in livecd mode, ctrl+alt+f1 will give you a TTY which is little different than running a terminal, which yeah you can fix things with, but it isn't any form of 'recovery' mode01:59
DoverMowow050, "sudo ./Path/to/executable"01:59
Rad-Nick___: honestly, I would kinda love to have pictures if it is possible.01:59
Nick___i can do that if you want01:59
Rad-sure02:00
Rad-get into VTE1 or whatever it's called.02:00
DoverMowow050, or "gksu nameofprogram" if it exists in /usr/bin02:00
Nick___okay then02:00
Rad-i'm betting the black screen is because you're on VTE7 or whatever. that's what x runs on (i think)02:00
Nick___in order to get into VTE1, i have to boot via USB though02:00
Nick___not through ubuntu02:00
Rad-daftykins: feel free to correct anything i say02:00
Rad-Nick___: theoretically you can get it done in ubuntu too02:00
Rad-try it02:00
Rad-if so, you just need to reinstall your graphics driver thingy02:01
Rad-find out what you need to do to have graphics by doing 'sudo lshw'02:01
Rad-.....ubuntu comes with lshw right?02:01
Nick___so you want me to boot into livecd (usb installation) and then go into the terminal screen?02:02
wow050DoverMo, it said command not found?02:02
Rad-Nick___: try it intside ubunut first02:02

Nick___i dont know my (login)02:04
Nick___just my password..02:04
Nick___nevermind02:04
DoverMowow050, you might have mistyped it. for instance it should look like "sudo ./usr/bin/exec" if sudo isn't there, then install is via your software manager or apt-get02:04
Rad-how do you not know your login -_-02:04
Nick___found it02:04
Nick___ah well it was just my name..02:04
wow050DoverMo, Do I include the period either?02:05
Nick___I dont have a login screen on my ubuntu02:05
DoverMowow050, yep02:05
Nick___it boots straight to desktop usually02:05
Rad-oh.02:05
DoverMowow050, the period is there for a reason. Without the period it would be more like "sudo sh /usr/bin/poop"02:05
Rad-yeah um. when i use ubuntu i install x and then i3 and that's it02:06
Rad-lol02:06
Nick___so should i try sudo apt-get update?02:06

Nick___its Acer Aspire E1-53102:08
wow050Enter new UNIX password02:08
daftykinsDoverMo: i hope you're not trying to suggest he create a password for root =|02:08

marz@daftykinds: I think my laptop is using a dual graphics card. Intel and Nvidia02:11
marz@daftykinds: How do I check it out?02:11
wilee-nilee!root | wow05002:11
ubottuwow050: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo02:11

Rad-reinstall this: xserver-xorg-video-intel02:12

daftykinsmarz: if it's an i-series intel processor with an nvidia xxx-M GPU, it likely is optimus02:12
DoverModaftykins, one thing you could try before using sudo is "chmod +x /thexecutable"02:12

DoverMowow050,  one thing you could try before using sudo is "chmod +x /thexecutable" to make sure the file will actually run02:13
Rad-Nick___: i don't have ubuntu working atm sorry. i'm trying to get my laptop to boot. you're going to have to search for exact package names yourself or ask daftykins02:13

Nick___apparently ubuntu 12.10 was supposed to solve my problem02:36

wow050Rad-: Its an extension pack for VirtualBox02:40
Rad-no02:40
Nick___and ill be back after some research if need be02:40
Rad-like the actual contents of the file wow05002:40
Rad-open it up in a text editor or something02:40
Rad-always double check files before you run it02:40
wow050Rad-: Ok,02:40
Rad-make sure it doesn't have anything stupid in it like 'sudo rm -rf /'02:40
wow050Rad- : Its an excecutable so its all a bunch of weird characters02:42
Rad-oh it's an exectuable not a shell script02:42
Rad-d'oh02:42
Rad-open up terminal and run it02:42
somsipwow050: what is the actual problem here? You can clearly run the file...02:42
ChogyDanare you trying to install virtualbox?02:42
wow050somsip: The problem is I dont know the password that its asking me for because my user password doesnt work.02:43
wow050Rad- : How would I run it in terminal?02:43
Rad-navigate to folder02:43
Rad-./filename02:43
somsipwow050: do you want to install it as a user or as root?02:43
somsipRad-: that will have the same result, no? It'll still get to the 'enter password' prompt as when it's double clicked02:44
wow050somsip: I would guess root so it will bypass asking for that password02:44
somsipwow050: sudo -i (then enter password) then execute as Rad- is telling you02:44
somsipwow050: actually, just sudo ./filename is probably enough...02:45
Rad-somsip: why do you need the -i02:45
Rad-somsip: sorry i don't know how to use GNOME02:46
Rad-lol02:46
Rad-terminal works fine so... i just kinda go with it02:46
wow050somsip: Got permission denied?02:46
somsipRad-: only if the installer requires environmental variables for root to be used. Unlikely though. I confused the issue02:46
Rad-i doubt it somsip02:46
Rad-it's virtualbox02:46
Rad-lol02:46
somsipwow050: you got the message when you did what? Paste the command you used02:46
ChogyDansudo -i is the standard advice02:47
somsipwow050: you are entering the password for the virtual machine and not the password for your host?02:47
wow050somsip: typed sudo i, entered pass, naviagted to folder, than typed ./Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.16-86992.vbox-extpack02:48

somsipRad-: you can, but people should criticise you for it02:50
DoverMomini, that's good02:50
Rad-somsip: tbh that's because i never figured out how to have sudo for a big command. so i just sudo su, then exit02:50
somsipwow050: try 'sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle....'02:51
DoverMoRad-, once you enter sudo once, the terminal is supposed to remember that environment02:51

ni291187hmmmm.... ok I waited out the login screen, after typing my user name, it goes back in to the login user name segment, does not even ask for password03:23

ctcbUbuntu is driving my crazy. So, I zero out my USB Stick (using dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb bs=1M), I then pull it in and out, then open gparted, select NTFS as the partition and save it, closing gparted, I then pull the stick in and out again, and write my ISO to the drive (using dd bs=1M if=W864.iso of=/dev/sdb), I pull my USB stick in and out one final time to save the changes, but when I go back to GParted, it says the USB04:36
ctcbStick is unallocated, so I can't add the Boot Flag to it.04:36

holsteinhopeless: what hardware do you have?04:39
ctcbutfans05, gparted won't do that unless it's zeroed, since the ISO makes the drive sort of read-only.04:39

lotuspsychje!firewall | chilli-salad04:52
ubottuchilli-salad: Ubuntu, like any other Linux distribution, has built-in firewall capabilities. The firewall is managed using the 'ufw' command - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UFW | GUI frontends such as Gufw also exist. | An alternative to ufw is the 'iptables' command - See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/IptablesHowTo04:52
somsipAravindgeek: ctcb: already suggested that twice but no response... My help ends there04:52
chilli-saladlotuspsychje, yes I've looked there but they don't really tell much about log messages. I've googled for into on the difference between "audit" and "block", but haven't had much luck. I think the documentation on ufw log messages is lacking.04:53
chilli-saladsometimes I see "audit" for an address I'm allowing.04:54
lotuspsychjechilli-salad: man ufw shows logging info04:55
chilli-saladso really I see "audit" for both addresses allowed as well as blocked. But it only does it occasionally. It seems to be part of how ufw works, but I don't know exactly what it's doing.04:56
chilli-saladlotuspsychje, nothing in there about audit messages04:57
chilli-saladlike I've said, it's been very difficult to find info on this. It's like no one's interested.04:57

chilli-saladutfans05, I occasionally see "audit" for both IP addresses that I allow as well as block. Most of the time it says "blocked" for the one's I've blocked.05:00
utfans05chilli-salad, the issue is I strictly use uptables. Its what I know.05:00
utfans05chilli-salad, but it would seem that if they are being audited you may want to check your rules just to double check you dont have duplicates.05:01
chilli-saladutfans05, what does it mean that they are being audited?05:02
chilli-saladlooking at my logs, it appears that for a port that I allowed all in on, always says "audit" when an address accessed it, and was allowed in.05:03
chilli-saladwhereas ports that I only allowed specific IP addresses, it says "allow".05:03
utfans05chilli-salad, try reading this. http://askubuntu.com/questions/143371/what-do-ufws-audit-log-entries-mean05:04

dr_willis_why not  use ssh06:46
chilli-saladKab, the ubuntu server manual shows how to give sftp access06:46
reisioKab: makes no difference to end users06:46
reisioexcept that their transfers would be secure with ssh06:46
chilli-saladKab, using chained accounts06:46
chilli-saladKab, so create users, assign them a special directory, but don't have it create the usual "home" directories in it, and "chain" the accounts to that directory. They will have shell access but will not be able to get outside of the assigned directory.06:48
Ben64talking about jail?06:49
chilli-saladso they could use a program like FileZilla that use what's called sftp, which is really a shell account.06:49
chilli-saladfor the end user, it will be just like using FTP.06:50
chilli-saladbut it will actually be secure.06:50

yousafneed to work with them through commandline07:53
dr_willis_kanupatar:  fo what?07:53
nowayrideyousaf: so /httpdocs are on another machine? You will have to either mount it or ftp/ssh to the machine07:54
yousafanother machine?07:54
dr_willis_yousaf:  you are editing files on a remote ftp server?07:54
yousafi am sure this is it07:54
kanupatardr_willis_: that tcp dump version? i cannot download from launchpad07:55

dr_willis_yousaf:  so where are you sitting now? at the server and a monitor connected to it?07:56
kanupatari have to get the deb and need to install there07:57
yousafssh using putty07:57
dr_willis_kanupatar:  good luck then is all i can say i guess.07:57
dr_willis_yousaf:  so you are editing a file ON a remote server...07:57
yousafI am not editing any files yet07:57
dr_willis_yousaf:  you are using putty from a windows machine.. using ssh to get to a server.07:57
yousafbut yes its a remote server07:57
yousafyes07:57
dr_willis_yousaf:  so... use an editor and start editing? whats the core of the problem?07:57
nowayrideyousaf: maybe check your user folder for it then? Is this a dedicated box/vps or a shared server?07:58
Mace268ftp root isn't machine root07:58
dr_willis_there are many text editors out that can work as ssh or ftp clients to let you edit files on the server directly (well they handle the stuff in the bckground)07:58
yousafdr_willis, I have upload Laravel (PHP framework) to /httpdocs/doz.. i need to get to that folder through commandline so I can run the CLI07:59
yousafat the moment I can't get to that directory for some reason07:59
yousafnowayride its a dedicated box07:59
nowayrideSo I asked a bit ago, anyone know an alternative to slamming repos for an install, or locally cache it? Seems like Xenserver only wants to pass boot args to netboot07:59
dr_willis_yousaf:  your path is most likely wrong. due to you not underatanding the fundamentals of the server and system paths.07:59
yousafin all honesty i dont know what i am doing, but if i get to that directory then i will know what to do :D08:00
yousafroot@host-78-bla-bla-51:~# ls08:00
yousafparallels  parallels_installer08:00
dr_willis_yousaf:  the http server  has the files in one of its sub directdories most lilkely.. NOT /httpdocs/  which would be on the 'root' of the drive08:00
yousafthat is what i see now, ignore the 'bla' parts08:00
Mace268yousaf, you need to find out where your ftp server's virtual directories are located08:00
nowayrideOkay so, are you using Plesk then?08:01
yousafits installed on the server but i am not using it08:01
yousafi just got ssh and ftp access08:01
dr_willis_yousaf:  so cd /    then look again with  'ls' to see whats there08:01
somsipyousaf: you uploaded laravel.zip?08:01
yousafnope, not in zip format i just upload my app via ftp08:02
kuhnoI got 2 eth interfaces in my machine and want to make sure the default route is always on eth0.

somsipyousaf: slow approach if all else fails 'find / -name filenamefromapp'08:02
nowayridePanels kind of take everything over and have set paths, what's in /var/www is there vhosts?08:02

yousafthere it is!08:03
yousafoh man, either this is silly or i am just stupid08:04
yousafyou be the judge of that lol08:04
nowayrideAlso if you're not deep into Plesk you might consider cPanel if you need a panel.. Plesk tends to um, break catastrophically any chance it gets08:04
somsipyousaf: it was in /var/www where I first suggested?08:04
nowayrideNah it's just you're using a panel and it has its own organization to keep things sane between user/reseller accounts08:04
yousafsomsip yes, but then i had to go to vhosts/sitename/httpdocs/doz08:04

dr_willis_theres dozens of terminal programs  :)   you can use to have extra features08:19
karab44it scrolls for few lines only08:19
saki`is there like a ubuntu server for noobs book out there?08:20
blazemorekarab44: Look in the preferences of the terminal and change the scrollback08:20
dr_willis_saki`:  i imagine there are ' linux server beginner guides'08:20
nowayridePutty might be a good idea.. but if you're getting the console itself it really should scroll more than that.08:20

karab44blazemore: there's no such thing bro. I use virtualbox so I am directly on the server08:21
dr_willis_karab44:  you can use putty or whatever to ssh into the server in the vm ;))08:21
fidelsaki`: many tutorials etc for sure. from my point of view: best idea is to just set yourself a small goal - and do it. i.e. in a vm to have a playground.08:21
cool_boyhow to open a port to access from outside?08:21
dr_willis_karab44:  and you can use screen or tmux on the console for extra features08:21
dr_willis_karab44:  or that fbterm app i just mentioned.. but tmux or screen is WORTH learning08:21
blazemorecool_boy: Not an Ubuntu problem, check the manual for your router08:21
fidelsaki`: as example: goal 1: setup a small linux server in a VM. 2. setup a webserver (or even LAMP) inside that vm. ....08:22
dr_willis_cool_boy:  by default  theres no firewall rules on a ubuntu system. so theres no closed ports.. just no services listening..08:22
cool_boyblazemore: you mean that ports are disabled from router?08:22
karab44God I just want few more lines! Why it's so difficult? Why? :S08:22
Marlenee]dr_willis_ : is it poosible to play atari games on ssh server08:23
karab44another hour wasted08:23
cool_boydr_willis_: how can I make them service listenable?08:23
blazemorecool_boy: I mean that, there are multiple devices connected to your router, and you need to set up port forwarding so your router knows which device to send traffic on that port to08:23
blazemorecool_boy: Which service? What are you actually trying to do?08:23
dr_willis_cool_boy:  you install a service.. the ports are open.08:23
MidnightRiderI have a small netbook that I want to install ubuntu 12.04 on. I have no external CD devices, and no USB stick large enough.

dr_willis_karab44:  i cant receall EVER using the  'history buffer' in the console..08:24
karab44You know what is the future? System that understands human. Even stupid command line. Just write command more naturally - computer increase number of scrolling lines. And it increases08:24

UbuntivityHello, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4, and I want to connect its external microSD in USB Mass Storage (UMS) mode, how will I have to mount it?08:33
karab44blazemore: It is simple. I want to scroll more lines in my terminal when I Shift + PGUP. I use bash and virtualbox. What is unclear?08:33
blazemorekarab44: What's virtualbox got to do with anything?08:33
blazemorekarab44: What terminal emulator are you using?08:33
nowayrideblazemore: he's at the console08:34
kostasubottu: I looked into that. The problem is that I cannot get into nomodeset, it does not enter automatically, nor by holding the shift key after the bios screen08:34
blazemoreoh08:34
blazemorenowayride: Why didn't he say so?08:34
cool_boydr_willis_, blazemore : here is result08:34
cool_boyit says 9000 id down08:34
nowayrideblazemore: he did08:34
dr_willis_Ubuntivity:  best advice i have for transfering stuff to/from a android phone is to use  airdroid (on android) or some other network service as if it was a pc.   if you MUST use a usb cable. then you need to look into the guides out on accessing a 'mtp' filesystem on android.08:34
blazemoreoh my mistake08:34
karab44wow so cool  it's clear :)08:34
karab44blazemore: no prob bro08:34
dr_willis_karab44:  and how many lines does it scroll now? i cant recall ever using  the scrollbuffer on the console.08:35
blazemorekarab44: If you want more lines in the scrollbuffer without recompiling the kernel(!) you should install screen (sudo apt-get install screen)08:36
nowayridekarab44: it's possible nobody knows, since it's not something that I imagine pops up often. Usually the scrollback at the console is at least a few pages and most of the time people don't really use the console unless networking is busted, you could try connecting to it with putty(Windows) or just terminal (OSX/Linux)08:36
cool_boyblazemore: why I need to use -PN with nmap?08:36
dr_willis_first google hit for 'console scrollback buffer'    http://linuxgazette.net/143/anonymous.html08:36
blazemorecool_boy: It's the network config of your hosting provider, they're blocking IMCP reqiests08:37
blazemorecool_boy: Or possibly the firewall on your server08:37
karab44dr_willis_:  about 1000 or less08:37
Mace268karab44, all I found on the subject is a kernel edit and recompile or use the fbcon device, but that info was from 2007 xD08:37
blazemorecool_boy: Can you run the command nowayride asked you to, and post the actual full output on a pastebin?08:37
dr_willis_karab44:   its a limit of the console.  the 'answer' is use a program like tmux, or screen, or fbterm,  it seems.. as was said earlier..    32k buffer is the  default08:38
karab44nowayride: I use ubuntu server so... I use terminal hello :)08:38
nowayridekarab44: I don't mean in virtualbox I mean on your desktop/laptop/workstation/whatever your keyboard is physically hooked up to08:39
karab44dr_willis_:  I need to use bash instead of others. Ispconfig requires default bash08:39
cool_boyblazemore: that i should run on server's terminal?08:39
blazemorekarab44: That's a good point - you might be better off connecting via ssh rather than typing into the console directly through virtualbox08:40
nowayridecool_boy: on the server try: netstat -tapn08:40
cool_boyare you talking about this commad ? netstat -tapn | grep ':2089'08:40
nowayrideYes08:40
blazemorecool_boy: but change 2089 to whatever port your program is supposed to listen on08:40
dr_willis_karab44:  you dont understand.. you run TMUX... it THEN RUNS BASH..08:40
nowayrideThat will tell you if a process is listening on the port.. but grep 2089 is whatever port it is08:40
dr_willis_karab44:  you ARE using BASH when you use tmux08:40
dr_willis_karab44:  if you use putty to ssh in.. it (guess what..) running/using BASH as your shell08:41
nowayrideYou will get output like (in this case for port 80) tcp        0      0 0.0.0.0:80              0.0.0.0:*               LISTEN08:41
karab44wait a second guys I am on ssh now. Will let you know08:42
dr_willis_and you can aparently increase the default buffer by using the 'fbcon' framebuffer console.. but ive no idea how well that works in  virtualbox.. its the default on a normal ubuntu install to use the framebuffer console08:42
=== milessabin_ is now known as milessabin
blazemorekarab44: What program are you using to ssh in? PuTTY?08:42
karab44blazemore: mingw probably msys08:42
dr_willis_i dont see much reason to  use the console on cirtualbox if you can just use putty or whatever to ssh to the vm.08:42
nowayridekarab44: You'll be better off SSHing into it, you can set a much larger scrollback and copy/paste is worlds easier, plus the resolution isn't mangled08:43
kostasCn anyone help with a problem? I cannot get into nomodeset, it does not enter automatically, nor by holding the shift key after the bios screen08:43
blazemorekostas: Do you mean you can't get to the GRUB menu?08:43
Ben64kostas: you have to mash the left shift key like crazy08:44
kostasblazemore: that is correct, I was talking about grub08:44
cool_boyblazemore, nowayride08:44
kostasBen64: I tried that with the shift key, didn't work08:44
dr_willis_you just press and HOLD the shift key as far as  i know08:44
blazemorekostas: Turn your computer off. Hold shift. Turn it on. Don't let go of shift until you see the grub menu08:44
cool_boyhttp://pastie.org/824147208:44
Ben64kostas: it does work, you have to mash it08:44
kostasblazemore: tried that a few times, didn't work unfortunately08:44
karab44guys08:44
Ben64kostas: you have to go for the world record in shifts per minute08:45
kostasBen64: holding it down doesn't count?08:45
karab44you're absolutely right! O windows terminal trough ssh it scrolls infinite08:45
blazemorecool_boy: Right, so your program isn't actually listening on any port. There's your problem. There's not a problem with networking, your program isn't working08:45
dr_willis_i have seen some weird pcs where the usb keyboard did not work to get to grub (or in grub at all) had to  enable the legacy usb option in the bios. or use a PS2 keyboard08:45
nowayridecool_boy: the warnings are nothing it just means you'd need to sudo them, but it's not necessary. The program doesn't seem to be running on 806908:45
dr_willis_karab44:  because the terminal app is handling the buffer.  which is not the 'console' now08:46

kostasstill can't figure out why I can't get to grub08:48
dr_willis_karab44:  using the framebuffer console lets you increase the buffer..08:48
karab44dr_willis_: ok but where to change it?08:48
blazemorekostas: Can you boot into Ubuntu OK?08:48
dr_willis_karab44:  screen, tmux, byobu, or fbterm would also let you have a virtually unlimited buffer08:48
kostasblazemore: I can't boot into ubuntu at all08:48
dr_willis_karab44:  i posted several urls that had  how to get a bigger buffer.. the answer was to use one of those apps.08:49

dr_willis_and 13.04 is out now also. ;P09:16
Antari have 12.04 iso09:16
dr_willis_so i dont see why you would use 12.1009:16
xmetalgoing from 11.10 to 12.04 to 12.10 to 13.04 seems strange09:16
xmetali'd just clean install the latest09:16
dr_willis_if you mount the 12.04 iso  it may ask to upgrade09:16
dr_willis_but clean install would be best..09:16
Antarcan i upgrade from iso file09:16
xmetalif its only one "version" .. than an upgrade would be ok09:17

Kaloznewer kernels are actually worse10:46

ubottuTo start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu. You can access the grub menu by pressing Esc (Grub legacy) or Shift (Grub2) during boot. For more info see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BootOptions#Text%20Mode11:10
Dr_Willis_boot into text mode. install the nvidia-current package, is what i would do.    IS this one of those dual gpu systems?11:10
neetzI dont know is optimus11:10
neetzwhat is optimus*11:11
Dr_Willis_the dual gpu chipset solution thats common in many laptops11:11
neetzand yeah for that I need to connect it to internert , but i have a dongle11:11
neetzlets assume that i have that , then11:11
Dr_Willis_I have several usb wifi dongles.. that work out of the box ;)11:11
Dr_Willis_if you got optimus then you have a lot of extra work to do  - OR you mighjt be able to disable one of your video cards in the bios settings11:12
Dr_Willis_I dont use optimus. dont have any laptops withit. so no experience with it11:12
neetz:P but how can you connect it to internet through terminal ? is it possible11:12
neetzhow11:12
Dr_Willis_IF you can get to text mode and have network working, You might be able to install the nvidia-current package and it may work11:12
OerHeksmaybe this mage for 12.04lts also works for your situation >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/132112/how-to-install-nvidia-geforce-gt525m-driver-on-ubuntu12-0411:12

cfhowlett!nomodeset|neetz,11:14
ubottuneetz,: 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 parameter11:14
neetzwhat do i do next11:14
cfhowlettneetz, read the message above11:14
neetzok11:14
OerHekscfhowlett, neetz tried that, you missed it because you came in later11:15
Dr_Willis_those Dual GPU optmis stuff can really goof with things. Id look up your exact make/model  pc on the forums and askubuntu.com and see if it does in fact have Optimus11:15
cfhowlettOerHeks, d'oh!11:15
cfhowlettneetz, sorry.  I only just came and didn't know you already saw that11:15
OerHeksgforce 525, surely it is optimus11:15
Dr_Willis_you need to verify one way or the other that you Have  Optimius or not.11:16
Dr_Willis_double check the bios and perhaps it may have a option to disable the nvidia or intel card also.11:16
y4h0hey11:17
neetzI want to boot into a proper gui , so that i can use my dongle and install the drivers11:17

neetz@dr_wills , there ?11:19
Dr_Willis_You did try the nomodeset option at the live cd? how did you install if the live cd is not booting?11:19
neetz@dr_wills , I am using ubuntu since 1 year , but neva had problem like this , idk what happened suddenly11:20
Dr_Willis_neetz:  stick to the facts about the current system11:20
Dr_Willis_are you saying that Ubuntu USED to work on this machine? or not?11:21
neetzyes11:21
Dr_Willis_so what release DID work?11:21
Dr_Willis_and when did it stop working11:21
neetz12.1011:21
neetzuntil 5 days11:21
neetzback11:21
cfhowlettneetz, try booting an earlier kernel11:22
Dr_Willis_and what did you do right befor it stopped working?11:22
cfhowlett?11:22
Guest9219hi how do i enable compiz's rain effect at startup?11:22
neetz@cfholett  tried that also , still not booting11:22
MonkeyDust!ccsm | Guest921911:22
ubottuGuest9219: To enable advanced customization of desktop effects in Ubuntu: install 'compizconfig-settings-manager' (or 'simple-ccsm' for pre-Oneiric). If you install the latter, a new option will appear in your appearance properties - See also !compiz - Help in #compiz11:22
neetzprobably , my win7 must have had a virus i guess11:23
neetzwhich damaged the nvidea or the kernel11:23
cfhowlettneetz, wait, is this a wubi install?11:23
neetzwubi ? I am sorry , I am a newbie to ubuntu ,11:23
cfhowlettneetz, windows installation of ubuntu also known as wubi.  How did you install ubuntu?11:24
MonkeyDustneetz  ubuntu has nothing to do with windows, unless you used wubi to install ubuntu inside windows11:24
neetzI created a seoerate parition for ubuntu and installed11:25
neetznot on vmvare or virtual box11:25
Guest9219MonkeyDust, i have ccsm installed but i've to enable the rain effect manually, i want it starts with the system's startup11:26
neetz@dr_wills , do you have a solution ?11:26
OerHeksGuest9219, compiz rain effects on startup/before login?11:26
MonkeyDustGuest9219  better ask in #compiz, then11:26
OerHeksGuest9219, not possible, AFAIK11:27
neetz@cfhowlett ?11:27
Guest9219MonkeyDust, ppl in #compiz r sleeping11:27
Guest9219thx11:27
cfhowlettneetz, so you have a normal dual boot.  I guess windows still runs OK then?11:28
neetzyea that brings me here :)11:28
Dr_Willis_neetz:  so 12.10 worked.. but now the 12.10 live cd does not work?11:28
neetz@dr_wills yea because of the nvdia thing i guess11:29
Dr_Willis_neetz:  but the 12.10 live cd was working when you installed earlier? did you change video cards or somthing?11:30
neetzno no , no hardware changes , it was working fine11:31
Dr_Willis_so lets recap.. you used a 12.10 live cd.. it installed  you ran it for a while.. system suddently acts up.. and now the same 12.10 live cd. No longer works either?11:31
neetzit was not a cd , it was a usb .. u call it  livecd  only , yea doesnt work now11:32
neetz?11:36
Dr_Willis_well personally, id find/make a 13.04 live usb/cd and see if that works. if so. backup imporntant stuff, then do a clean install of 13.0411:36
Guest9219when i disable unity or without rain effect enabled, my window's shadow looks ugly [there is nobdy in #compiz]11:36
Dr_Willis_tweak the windows shadows settings/plugin or disable it perhaps?11:38
neetz@dr_wills , whats the pint ? does 13.04 support nvidiea graphics inbuit11:38
Dr_Willis_a lot of the old compiz plugins/eyecandy are slowly becomming obsolete and getting phased out11:38
Dr_Willis_neetz:  no need to use @ and the nvidia drivers are aviable for all the releases.11:39
Dr_Willis_13.04 works fine with my 3 nvidia systems11:39
Dr_Willis_but most of my cards are older nvidia cards11:39
neetzit was working on mine too before11:39
Dr_Willis_neetz:  so that points to either a kernel/driver issue.. but you said old kernel did not work.. You also said the SAME usb worked once.. but not any more.11:40
Dr_Willis_that almost points to a hardware faliure.11:40
Dr_Willis_but its not conclusive11:40
foo357_Hello, I've setup 'unattended upgrades' and I've also set it to reboot if required. However no reboots are performed.11:40
neetzdo you mean Nvidea has failed ?11:40
Dr_Willis_only reboots would be for kernel upgrades foo357_ , and the unattended upgrades may not be upgradeing those bcause the kernels can be 'held' untill you do a apt-get dist-upgrade11:41
Dr_Willis_neetz:  its possible. Or your usb-flash is just goofy and not booting properly since its no longer working. and you said it used to work, and theres been no other hardware changes11:41
neetzcan i disable my nvidea in bios ?11:42
itDany83salve11:42
Dr_Willis_neetz:  no idea.. can you?11:42
neetzi have not tried11:42
foo357_Dr_Willis_: well the config file for unattended upgrades says "reboot if /var/run/reboot-required is found", the file exists and I would think that apt doesn't do a very complicated evaluation11:42

itDany83Thanks11:43
Dr_Willis_foo357_:  a normal apt-get update, often does not update the kernels.  since they can break things.    that  is about the only time i can think of that a reboot would be required11:44
Dr_Willis_foo357_:  askubuntu.com may have a more definitive answer however.11:44

Dr_Willis_simplex:  how long have you been using lilo? grub2  and grub has been the default for years..11:48
simplexi use lilo from ages, i just installed ubuntu today11:49
Dr_Willis_simplex:  you may wnt to check at askubuntu.com its literlly been years+ (5+?) since ive had to touch lilo11:49
Dr_Willis_if you installed ubuntu, then why do you want to keep using lilo?  unless theres some Old system on that box.11:49
simplexi like the lilo slackware logo :)11:50

ActionPa1snipxyz123: then 1.1xRAM for swap (assuming more than 2Gb RAM) and the rest for /home13:11
Skizublazemore: What's FileZilla?13:11
ActionPa1snipSkizu: sftp client for windows13:11
xyz123ActionPa1snip: i have created a 50GB / primary partition but keeps failing13:11
blazemoreSkizu: It's a file transfer client13:11
rebarbrorwill try to install from cd13:12
ActionPa1snipxyz123: you can have / for all folders, not a problem13:12
MonkeyDustrebarbror  ubuntu has no "welcome to linux"... is that a cd that was delivered with a magazine or so?13:12
rebarbrorit's just says welcome13:12
rebarbror---13:12
Skizublazemore: I've winSCP for that, was wondering if I could do something in ssh so I could make a bash file to do the action13:12
blazemoreSkizu: WinSCp will work fine too13:12
rebarbrorand it's the img file from thier website13:12
rebarbror12.4lts13:12
blazemorefrom whose? Ubuntu doesn't provide an img file13:12
rebarbror12.04*13:12
ActionPa1snipSkizu: sure, you can run:  ssh user@server "grep paul /etc/passwd"13:12
rebarbroriso file13:12
cfhowlettrebarbror, ? what site did you get it from?13:13
ActionPa1snipSkizu: it will run the command on the server and give you back your prompt13:13
SkizuActionPa1snip: What'd that do13:13
rebarbrorubuntu.com13:13
ActionPa1snipSkizu: finds the name paul in /etc/passwd13:13
lenzeorHey guys! I just installed linux on an old laptop and the graphics chip seems to be faulty. How can I make my system use fallback graphics only (from a root shell)?13:13
ActionPa1snipSkizu: saves having to connect, run it, then disconnect13:13
blazemorerebarbror: Do you get a menu with options like "Install" and "Try Ubuntu Before Installing" etc?13:13
ActionPa1sniplenzeor: add the boot option: nomodeset13:13
xyz123ActionPa1snip: I'm trying to partition manually .... wanted to have seperate partitions for certain things... probably is when i do guided entire partition it works fine.... as soon as i partition manually giving / 50 GB alone it fails to setup base system13:13
ActionPa1snipSkizu: great if you have multiple PCs13:13
lenzeorActionPalsnip, how do I do that?13:14
xyz123ActionPa1snip: can't figure out why it would keep failing13:14
ActionPa1snipxyz123: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded?13:14
SkizuActionPa1snip: how do I download to my local like that?13:14
kjlikjHello13:14
blazemoreHello kjlikj13:14
cfhowlettkjlikj, greetings13:14
rebarbrorthat's where it hangs, it just shows welcome in the window the rest in just a white square13:14
ActionPa1snipSkizu: you can use scp (or winscp in Windows)13:14
kjlikjWeb fonts is not exists one my browser ?13:14
blazemorerebarbror: Are you able to take a picture...?13:14
cfhowlettrebarbror, ok.  hey did you md5sum check the iso?13:14
ActionPa1snipkjlikj: what is the output of:  cat /etc/issue13:15
xyz123ActionPa1snip: kind of a silly question why do i need to md5sum the iso?13:15
SkizuActionPa1snip: So there isn't a way I can use putty to put stuff on my pc?13:15
ActionPa1snipxyz123: so you know that it is complete and consistant13:15
blazemoreSkizu: Putty isn't a file transfer client, so no13:15
lenzeorActionPalsnip, apparently I gotta do that from the installer?13:15
kjlikj11.1013:15
rebarbrorI just used a program called rufus to make my usb stick bootable13:15
blazemore11.10 isn't supported any more, kjlikj13:15
Skizublazemore: Ok thanks =]13:15
rebarbroryeah sure, I can take a picture13:16
kjlikjheh13:16
xyz123ActionPa1snip: the cd installs if i partition using guided.... wouldn't that be enough to confirm that it is complete?13:16
ActionPa1snipSkizu: putty isnt for file copying, you can connect to the same service on the same server using filezilla and manouvre files13:16
blazemorerebarbror: Wait13:16
cfhowlettrebarbror, which doesn't answer the question.  did you md5sum check?13:16
blazemorerebarbror: Firstly, check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded13:16
ActionPa1snipxyz123: no as files used to install the OS may be damaged13:16

kjlikjfrom12.04 to 13.4 ?13:17
blazemorekjlikj: Yes, it says in the /topic13:18
cfhowlettkjlikj, choose one. 12.04 is long term support.  13.04 is not.13:18

anton02is there a way to apt-get install everything that would be on a dvd?13:56
blazemoreNo because some packages can't be installed alongside each other13:56
anton02i just dont want to have to keep installing stuff. i want everything i would ever need now13:56
blazemoreWhat do you actually want to achieve?13:56
blazemoreOh13:56
blazemoreYou could set up a local apt mirror13:57
blazemoreBut I don't understand your motives13:57

blazemoreDepends how many of the repositories you want to mirror13:57
anton02i just amd6413:58

anton02i have a 10mb/s connection at uni, and about 20kb/s at home so it's annoying having to install stuff at home14:04
blazemoreanton02: Habits from Gentoo don't necessarily translate to Debian; I don't know Gentoo but it's possible you're doing the equivelant of buying a motorbike and then demanding someone sell you a steering-wheel cover that fits14:04
blazemoreie "emerge world" might have no equivelant on Debian14:04
Okitainanton02: download the 3 DVD isos and mount them at home.14:08
anton02is there groups of software you can install like all development software for example14:08

anton02i only have access to a mirror that doesn't have debian-cd14:08

PeanutHi folks - is swapping on SSD recommended? I've got a server with 64GB of RAM (for virtual guests), and 2x 120G SSD - I'd rather not reserve 25% of my SSD capacity for swap?14:09
blazemoreanton02: And if you PM me the URL of any files you need I can mirror them for you temporarily on a very fast server14:09
blazemorePeanut: You probably don't need much/any swap with that much RAM14:09
blazemorePeanut: Repeated writes to an SSD lower its life-span, so anything which minimises writes to an SSD will increase its life-span14:10
usr13Peanut: It is not a big issue.14:10
Peanutblazemore: thanks14:10
ActionPa1snipPeanut: swap wears out SSDs, you could get a small HDD or even a USB stick as swap, save your internal SSDs14:10
blazemoreHowever Peanut in real life you'll likely replace those SSDs before they fail14:10
PeanutI hope the machine won't ever swap, as long as I don't overcommit the ram.14:10
usr13Peanut: I know there are those that avoid creating swap partitions on SSDs but it doesn't make that much difference.  I would go on and do it.14:10
blazemoreI would *hope* Linux pre-emptively copies pages to the swap file...14:10
ActionPa1snipPeanut: depends on the activities and settings on the guests14:10
blazemorePeanut: My advice for you is to make a small (4GiB) swap partition, which probably won't ever get used14:11
blazemorePeanut: Your SSDs aren't going to catch fire14:11
PeanutThe machine got a bit more memory than I intended, because of a too-good-to-resist offer from the vendor *grin*14:11
ActionPa1snipPeanut: i'd make a tempfs storage and have all temps and so forth use that, rather than the SSDs14:11
ActionPa1snipPeanut: RAM is cheap14:12
usr13ActionPa1snip: If you have plenty of RAM, the swap partition is not used that much.  So if you have an SSD, just make sure you have plenty of RAM and don't worry about it.14:12
kuhnoi've already killed 2 SSD... so i don't swap to SSD any more14:12
Peanutkuhno: ouch..14:12
usr13ActionPa1snip: tempfs storage?14:12
kuhnobut at least i pay the same money each time and get double capacity :)14:12
PeanutAlso, on 13.04, do I need to add anything to fstab to activate trim?14:13
kuhnoi even told my windows to swap to the ramdisk because it didn't boot without swap file...14:13
blazemorePeanut: Not in fstab, but you do need to jump through a couple of low hoops... http://www.webupd8.org/2013/01/enable-trim-on-ssd-solid-state-drives.html14:14

dougbbmoondog, if you're going to put Linux-only data on there, better to reformat. NTFS is fine for data, but  when mounted every file has the executable bit set, which is rough on backups17:12

intraderOerHeks, I am sorry, I have no wheel (it is lenovo laptop). Thanks for your help17:19
tapFizzlehello all, i'm trying to understand better the status of iU in dpkg -l   if its installed but still unpacked, does that mean that the installation did not complete?17:20
intraderOerHeks, ... it grabs the border to resize?17:20
OerHeksintrader yes, just hang on the window, and you grab it like the corner.17:21
OerHeksintrader mayby both touchpad keys work as 3th mousekey ?17:21
intraderOerHeks, when the mouse approaches the border or corner, it fleetingly changes but the action disappears quickly.17:24
intraderOerHeks, since 11.04 ( I am running 12.04) all sort of stuff is weird with Unity. Last time it worked Ok was with 10.417:25
trismtapFizzle: the first character is the desired status, the second is the actual package status17:26
ffiowhen i am installing scponly it says it is not installable ? why is that so ? how can i install that package ?17:27
OerHeksintrader ohh awesome, ALT + F8 does the same17:29
DJonesffio: Is that meant to be 'scponly' os 'scp'17:29
ffioDJones: scponly17:29

ffiotrism: ok :) is their any replacement to that package ?17:30
OerHeksintrader i understand you want to resize by the corner, and the sensitivity is too high?17:31
intraderOerHeks, yes, but doing it is just about impossible as to catch the border or corner is very difficult17:32
intraderOerHeks, what sensitivity setting?17:33
OerHeksintrader, so with ALT + F8 you grab the window in resize mode, where ever you hold your mouse on the window17:33
OerHeksintrader, i cannot find sensitive settings for those corners.17:34
trismffio: the bug mentions you can do it directly with sshd now, something like: http://serverfault.com/questions/83856/allow-scp-but-not-actual-login-using-ssh/83971#83971 (I haven't tried it though)17:36
trismffio: oh seems there is also a debian admin article linked in the bug: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/59017:37
intraderOerHeks, for example I just started Gvim. Moved the window to the middle of the screen. Then I trity to size by grabbing the border or the corner. Almost impossible; specially the right or left borders or the left or right bottom corners17:37
ffiotrism: that was a hell lot of info :D17:37
intraderOerHeks, Alt + F8 will do, thanks17:39
OerHeksintrader, have fun :-)17:39
ffiotrism: thank you so much :)17:40

leo-the-manicIs there any difference between 'aptititude install x' and 'apt-get install x'?17:42
leo-the-manicOr do they do the exact same thing?17:42
holsteinSierraAR: i would say that is an issue with the session files in the users /home .config.. or something related to the desktop config.. i would blow them out or move them, and try again17:42
DJones!aptitude | leo-the-manic17:43
ubottuleo-the-manic: aptitude is another terminal-based front-end to APT. You may encounter problems on multiarch installs (11.10 and 12.04) as aptitude cannot  handle the same package with different architectures being installed at the same time. See http://pad.lv/831768 for more information.17:43

holsteinhdhdhd: i see what you just typed, if thats what you are asking17:46
SierraARholstein: I moved ~/.config/lxsession/Lubuntu/desktop.conf to a temporary directory in my home folder. That was the only config file I could find in my home directory that looked like it could be related to the desktop. It doesn't look like a new desktop.conf was generated, either. I've also just checked ~/.xsession-errors to see if there was anything there and it's empty.17:46

holsteinSierraAR: i would move the *entire* .config .. then, i would move more or all .hidden config files to "fix" the misconfiguration17:47
exidoshi17:51
SierraARholstein: Renamed .config to .config.backup and rebooted, but I'm still having the same issue. It didn't generate a new .config either.17:51
SierraARholstein: Actually, I vaguely recall coming across something awhile back about not being able to login if a file locking a session wasn't cleared on shutdown or something to that effect, but I can't remember the details or where I saw that17:52
holsteinSierraAR: it should have.. and will , when you do it properly.. what do i suggest? create a new user.. log in as that user, and test.. see that the system is fine, and it is just your user account that you have broken17:53
holsteinSierraAR: you can always remove *everything* from your user /home, and test.. and put back what you want17:53

\u03b5Hello, I am running 12.04 LTS Server in a virtualised environment. Unfortunately I cannot use hwclock -w, so I am stuck with the host machine's time, which is roughly 20 minutes into the future. The issue is, that whenever the system boots, ntpd kicks in to set the clock right, and immediately after that network goes down; is there anything I can do?20:42
bekks\u03b5: Set the clock of the host correctly.20:43
\u03b5I still have access to the server though a hypervisor-provided tty-like access20:43
\u03b5bekks: I do not have that kind of access20:43
bekks\u03b5: Then you have to ask your administrator to do so.20:43
\u03b5will this glitch not happen if the time is off by a smaller delta?20:45
pvl1Jordan_U: is there an option for Default selection to run. i definetly set something to 3 seconds, and memtest would be the third option wouldnt it20:45
bekks\u03b5: I guess it will happen again then, since it looks like the host shuts off network access due to anomalies (setting the time) in the guest.20:46
\u03b5you think this is intended?20:47

arthurdentcheshirelulcat: how much do you care about being able to access your NTFS partition easily? you can hide it with gparted22:01
cheshirelulcatNot much.22:01
daftykinscheshirelulcat: unless you explain the circumstance it makes no sense to me22:01
cheshirelulcatJust...22:01
arthurdentjust hide it with gparted then. you'll have to unhide it in order to boot into it from grub or whatever22:01
cheshirelulcatJust don't worry about the circumstances.22:01
cheshirelulcatNo problem22:02
cheshirelulcatI did hide it with Gparted, still shows up on fdisk22:02
arthurdentjust right click the drive in gparted > manage flags > [x] hidden22:02
arthurdentmaybe you need to reboot? idk22:02
cheshirelulcatAlready have22:02
cheshirelulcatWould removing the boot flag do it?22:02
Dr_Willishideing a partion hides it from fdisk? makes me wonder how fdisk would unhide it then.22:02
Jordan_Ucheshirelulcat: No. We can't help you unless you actually explain your end goal.22:03
arthurdentI don't know that it does for a fact, I guess I just assumed.22:03
cheshirelulcatYeah, here's my end goal.22:03
cheshirelulcatIf I type in fdisk -l22:03
cheshirelulcatsda1 doesn't show up.22:03
cheshirelulcatThat's it.22:03
daftykinsnot going to happen22:03
Dr_Willischeshirelulcat:  disable it in the bios.22:03
Jordan_Ucheshirelulcat: Delete the partition then.22:03
cheshirelulcatAw god22:03
cheshirelulcatNo other way?22:03
arthurdentbuy a portable harddrive and a safe22:03
Dr_Williswhy would you think theres some other way? the PC is reporting the drives its seeing22:04
Dr_Willisactually the BIOS is reporting it.22:04
cheshirelulcatCan I change the partition id?22:04
Jordan_Ucheshirelulcat: Also, not having something show up in fdisk -l doesn't really sound like an end goal to me.22:04
cheshirelulcatThat's an end goal for me.22:04
arthurdentwrite a bash script that overrides fdisk and doesn't print lines containing sda122:04
cheshirelulcat:\22:04
Dr_Willischeshirelulcat:  change it to what?   you can change the filesystem. but whats the point22:04
cheshirelulcatI was thinking changing the partition id22:04
daftykinsit's what we call a fools errand.22:04
Jordan_Ucheshirelulcat: Why do you not want the partition to show up in fdisk -l? Does the output look prettier without it?22:04
daftykinsi think you've even come in here and asked this before22:04
daftykinsbecause i remember this lunacy22:04
cheshirelulcatI haven't been here befory.22:05
cheshirelulcat*Before.22:05
daftykinstotally had this question asked before :)22:05
Dr_Willisif you dont want normal user level people mounting the thing. theres ways to do that.22:05
cheshirelulcatYeah, it requires a root to activate22:05
cheshirelulcatI know that.22:05
cheshirelulcatLike, when I have an fdisk -l output22:05
cheshirelulcatAnd it says NTFS22:05
cheshirelulcatCan I modify the id in order for it to report ext3?22:05
cheshirelulcatOr not report it at all?22:06
Dr_Willischeshirelulcat:  guess you could in gparted, or fdisk.   and also you may accidently delete all your data22:06
cheshirelulcatwell shit22:06

Jordan_Ucheshirelulcat: rename the fdisk binary to "fdisk.real" and in its place make a script containing "fdisk.real $@ | grep -v sda1".22:06
Pinkamen1_DI did not actually give it any commands other then viewing the partitions22:06
Dr_WillisJordan_U:  going to point out that parted, and cfdisk, can also see it. ;)22:07
daftykinsthing is who with any brain isn't going to spot #1 missing? you'd have to at least masquerade it as another Linux one instead of NTFS.22:07
cheshirelulcatYeah22:07
Pinkamen1_Dwhen I ask to save and exit, it says "THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING PARTITIONS". This sounds kind of iffy, I dont want data baing lost22:07
Jordan_UDr_Willis: cheshirelulcat's end goal was just to have it not show up in fdisk -l.22:07
cheshirelulcatI've got 2, 3, and 4 missing right now22:08

Agamemnusdoes anyone know how i can download the static version of mysql 4.1?22:09
cheshirelulcatI'll try it out, see if it works.22:09
arthurdentyou'll have to re-source your profile or log out and back in22:09
Pinkamen1_Dwell its not the data I am worried about, its all of the configuration I  have done to get it to work how i like22:09
arthurdent"source /etc/profile"22:09
bekksAgamemnus: That version is pretty old. And why do you need a static version?22:09
Jordan_Uarthurdent: You'd need to use the absolute path, /usr/sbin/fdisk, in your script then (otherwise you'll get an infinite loop).22:10
arthurdentJordan_U: derp22:10
arthurdentcheshirelulcat: change 'fdisk -l' to '/usr/bin/fdisk "$@"' in that script22:10
arthurdenter no quotes around the $@ actually22:10
Jordan_Uarthurdent: Quotes are correct in that case, $@ is a special variable.22:11
arthurdentJordan_U: are you sure? you don't want all the flags to be in one token22:11
Agamemnusbekks: because everything else crashes.22:12
bekksAgamemnus: Then you should fix the cause of those crashes.22:12
Agamemnusbekks: it is mysql.22:12

arthurdentthen do "source /etc/profile"22:14
cheshirelulcataight22:14

holsteinanayou: i see there is an andoid version.. you would run android in ubuntu.. or ask the developers for a linux/ubuntu version23:13
anayouandroid in ubuntu23:13
holsteinanayou: ideally, you would have this conversation with the developers of the applications.. we, as volunteers for supporting ubuntu, are not going to be able to make ubuntu capable of running that application..23:13
holsteinanayou: http://askubuntu.com/questions/279816/installing-apps-like-whatsapp for example23:14
holsteinanayou: i would think about replacing that functionality with a native application23:14
anayouhe not work .. i do every thing from askubuntu23:15

holsteinanayou: i assure you, there is no current native linux/ubuntu version of whatsapp that i have seen.. but, you *can* install the android sdk and run whatsapp there.. or, ask the developers how you are intended to run it in ubuntu..23:19

standamanQuestion: If I create a videoDVD with DeVeDe and there is additional space on it, can I also add some non-movie files?23:23
thurstylarkSo, I have a ubuntu 11.04 server, and I want to upgrade to 12.04 or newer, but I only have install media for up to 11.04. Is there still a way to upgrade?23:23
reisiostandaman: don't see why not23:23
reisiothurstylark: I can't imagine otherwise23:24
daftykinsstandaman: yeah should work23:24
zoidberg-Hey, so i have an esxi server with a little network inside it.. a linux router and then some natted hosts.  When i ssh to the router using keys, works fine, when i ssh from the router to one of the natted box even though keys are installed like the router it asks for a password... any idea why it does this and how i can make the keys just take affect?23:24
cinvokeZIPY: reinstalled lightdm.  this time it looks like it actually did something. restarted. so im guessing it fell back to an old halfway installed gdm when i uninstalled lightdm23:25
holsteinthurstylark: i would rather install 12.04 fresh,a nd literally whatever issues that might encounter23:25
cinvokeZIPY: i may still have to purge gdm....23:25
ZIPYcinvoke: you should uninstall gdm too23:25
ZIPYye23:25
reisioholstein: this won't work any longer?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades23:25
ZIPYor lightdm and use gdm the one you prefer :D23:25
ZIPYcinvoke: im off now, if you still get troubles, paste xorg.0.log, xserver-error and dmg. maybe someone can help you23:26
Displacer_hey guys. I got a question. What is the best GB emu for ubuntu?23:27
ZIPYcinvoke: dmg= dmesg ^^23:27
cinvokeZIPY: thx!23:27
reisioDisplacer_: hrmm?23:27
daftykinsDisplacer_: that's not really a support quest i'm afraid.23:27
holsteinreisio: should... but id still rather do whatever it takes for a fresh install23:28
Displacer_daftykins: im sorry but what do you mean?23:28
holsteineitherway, 12.04 packages will be downloaded.. might as well be pre install, and make a nice installer23:28
Displacer_i just switched to linux and i need a way to run LSDj since i cant use VBA any more. but i havnt tried wine yet so ill do that23:29
reisiolsdj?23:29
Displacer_music tracking software for the DMG-0123:30
holsteinDisplacer_: try not using so many letters.. and assume that the volunteers here mostly just run linux/ubuntu, and need to know what funcitonality you need, or more details about what you are tyring to run and why23:30
reisioDisplacer_: dmg-01? :)23:30
holsteinDisplacer_: there are many "trackers".. you will want to get used to using JACK.. you can try #opensourcemusicians23:31
holstein!proaudio23:31
ubottuFor information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro23:31
reisioI'd just go ahead and look for an alternative instead of trying to run a win32 app23:32
Displacer_holstein: haha well if you know the field im in then you would know what those letters mean and you are more likely to be able to help me. I need an Emulator to run Little Sound DJ which is a Classic Gameboy rom in the .gb format. i am a chip musician and i have no way of running visual boy advanced since i switched to linux23:32
Displacer_holstein: also thank you for the chat link ill try there23:34
holsteinDisplacer_: there are many options, and you'll want to go to #opensourcemusicians and other general linux channels for audio. this is not a proaudio channel23:34
holsteinDisplacer_: there are *many* ways to do what you are wanting to do in ubuntu23:34
holsteinDisplacer_: that whas the channel.. and im giving you information there..23:36
Displacer_holstein: again thank you23:37

vadimerhow is it going23:38
vadimerhow do you get good at installing different types of files?23:42
robert__my new 3tb disk appears as 2 devices in gparted. i want to have it as a single unbootable ext4 volume. how can i do that?23:43
Slartvadimer: how do you mean? installing software from source?23:44
Slartrobert__: if you have more than one partition on the hard drive you can always remove them and then create a new partition.. NOTE! this will destroy any data you have in these partitions23:45
trismDisplacer_: does the visualboyadvance package not work?23:45
robert__Slart: there are no partitions on the drive. it is empty. but it appears as two devices sdb and sdc23:45
robert__Slart: drive sdb has 2tb and sdc the remaining 700gb or whatever.23:46
Slartrobert__: hmm.. that's odd..not sure why it would do that23:46
Slartrobert__: it's a normal drive? is it possible it's somehow setup to be "compatible" with older systems? a jumper perhaps23:48
daftykins^good thinking23:48
robert__Slart: i'll have a look, but i didn't notice anything like a jumper. it had a label referring to seagate's web page on 2tb drives, but i didn't see anything beyond information on which os's have compatible drivers.23:49
robert__Slart: i'll try booting into win7 and see what that sees.23:50
OerHeksmaybe a hybride drive, ssd and platters?23:52
Slartrobert__: can't hurt to look23:52
Slartrobert__: seagate's website mentions that 3Tb might be a problem in some configurations.. my guess is that it's some kind of safety setting23:53
daftykinsrobert__: wait, is windows 7 installed on this 3TB disk?23:54
=== kb3gtn|away is now known as kb3gtn
daftykinsrobert__: is it also a custom build PC with maybe - a gigabyte motherboard?23:55
Deathfiyrjoin my channel to talk about hacking, backtrack and other stuff!! #HackShit23:57
robert__daftykins: win7 only shows 2tb and completely ignores the rest of the disk. i have tried in two linux installations. one on a thinkpad and one on a dell optiplex 330.23:58
