[00:04] quick 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] You could try saving it somewhere else and copy it there from console [00:04] quibble42: df -h to see if the flash drive is mounted somewhere [00:05] daftykins it's sbd1, it IS mounted [00:06] quibble42: ah the fact you plugged it in afterwards has probably freaked out impress. save it locally, then close + re-open [00:06] or use CLI to copy it as FlashSoul recommended [00:07] simples.

[00:18] i tried that and it didn't work for some reason [00:18] Guest86792: either you make a right mouse click and check the box in the rights tab. or you do a chmod +x filename.jar [00:18] Guest86792: Right click on the file in the file manager and check the "make this file executable" [00:18] if it didn't work, maybe the chmod isn't really the problem.

[00:31] candy crush is also on facebook [00:31] TannedVampire, Yeah and an android app. how would this be run in ubuntu? [00:31] I'll try ATI's ones. [00:32] wilee-nilee: go to chromium. Go to Google Store. Type Candy Crush Saga. it is different from android game but it looks similiar. [00:32] two games look similar albeit fancy trail. [00:32] TannedVampire, The ati will not follow kernel upgrades, just so you know. [00:33] I don't use chromium or chrome [00:33] wilee-nilee: what do you use? firefox?

[01:31] Rad-: ah so you've got that Dell logo coming up with the progress bar, showing F2 and F12 in the corner but somehow the keyboard does nothing, right. [01:31] nope. the keyboard does SOMETHING [01:31] it lights up the options [01:31] but doesn't actually let me GO into the options [01:32] hi anyone know of a xbuntu channel [01:32] brian_: i'm guessing it's #xubuntu [01:32] Rad-: so it just skips past and boots the OS instead? [01:32] nope [01:32] doesn't boot the OS either [01:32] lol [01:33] yes thanks im getting my to new keyboard [01:33] Rad-: it doesn't 0o is it broken or something? [01:33] dunno [01:33] i mean the existing 8 install [01:33] it was working earlier today daftykins [01:33] my concern is that it doesn't even recognize a windows install right now [01:33] haven't repartitioned or formatted or anything [01:34] rad try a keyboard whit usb [01:34] ^ i was going to suggest that but it sounded like input is being taken, it's just ignoring it [01:35] i'd probably pop the hard disk if you're comfortable doing it [01:35] although if it's new, you might want to just go for warranty [01:35] Would anybody here be able to help me get my wired ethernet driver working on 12.04 server? It isn't being autodetected. I've found a few forum references for the specific card, but haven't had any luck. [01:35] no it's not ignoring it [01:35] Brett232: so what've you tried? [01:35] the BIOS/UEFI whatever tyou wanna call it at this point is just broken [01:35] i think [01:36] rad are you familiar with xubuntu? [01:36] support o'clock then maybe [01:36] I need some help for buying new laptop [01:37] daftykins: so i've determined I have a jmc250 gigabit; others have had similar problems, recommended to install drivers from source from their website, tried that, restarted, still didn't work [01:38] daftykins: yeah if i had dell chat support i would have already done that [01:38] Brett232: did you modprobe the compiled module after install? [01:38] daftykins: yes [01:38] Rad-: in the past we used phones [01:38] Brett232: did it make an interface appear, in the output from 'ifconfig -a' ? === JZTech101 is now known as JZ|Zzz [01:38] lol daftykins but that costs money =[ [01:39] daftykins: i don't have an eth0 in the list, but i have a p33p1 "ethernet", not sure if that is it [01:39] daftykins: i tried adding eth0 with dhcp config to /etc/network/interfaces manually too, not sure if that complicates things [01:39] Brett232: weird, have you got a cable connected ready? [01:40] daftykins: yes [01:40] Brett232: tried running dhclient on the p33p1 interface? [01:40] 'sudo dhclient p33p1' [01:40] daftykins: ah i found hardware diagnostics [01:41] Rad-: i'd probably do some disk checks [01:41] well the thing i got into is called ePSA pre-boot system assessment [01:41] lol [01:41] daftykins: 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? [01:42] Brett232: if you renamed the 'eth0' to that interface name in your interfaces file it could cheat it [01:42] daftykins: i'll give that a try [01:43] also can i ask a stupid question? [01:43] do it [01:43] 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] (i've always wanted to ask this question) [01:44] if you were in graphically it'd probably stop before it cleaned up a lot [01:44] i dunno, try it in a VM one day :) [01:44] hahaha [01:45] looks like he pre boot assessment is going to stress test my hdd [01:45] hello, can anybody help me with a problem? [01:46] Nick___: nope, but some people can help you with a _specific_ problem [01:46] Nick___: ask away with as much detail as possible please [01:46] ah okay [01:46] Depends on what that problem is Nick___ [01:46] i thought everyone was gone [01:46] ill start explaining [01:46] you only just joined :( [01:46] you thought all 1,624 of us were gone? :) [01:46] sorry, i just didnt know where to ask..

[01:47] apparently [01:47] lol [01:47] Brett232: no problem :) [01:47] i recently bought an acer aspire E1-531 with win8 preinstalled [01:47] so i installed ubuntu 12.04 along onto it with no problems on the UEIF bios [01:47] reisio: in fairness 1620 are :( [01:47] however, GRUB did not work because of secureboot [01:47] daftykins: :p [01:47] turn secure boot off Nick___ [01:48] my bios will not allow me [01:48] you do it from Windows [01:48] daftykins: HDD works fine [01:48] you do?

[01:48] Nick___: dunno i can do mine from the BIOS (supposedly) [01:49] What make and model do you have again [01:49] i have an Acer Aspire E1-531 [01:49] secure boot is locked, unless i switch to legacy bios [01:49] but then i dont think grub would let me boot into windows [01:49] jrib: I am here, are you still here? [01:49] Nick___: you could keep switching in BIOS to boot each OS, ugly but works [01:50] that is what ive been doing [01:50] ah-har [01:50] today, i updated to Ubuntu 12.10 [01:50] i heard it has been signed to work with secure boot [01:50] however [01:50] now i get a blank screen after the ubuntu logo, probably because of my intel chipset === |_ocke2 is now known as |_ocke [01:51] and i cannot access recovery because there is no grub [01:51] hey in installed virtualbox from their website..i used the all other linux distro ..it as a *.run file i need to upgrade...how do i remove the old one so i cann install the new one or will it just upgrade the one thats there? [01:51] jrib: jrib, are you there? The problem is still there. [01:51] fellayaboy: i'd bet it's in their install documentation [01:52] so now Ubuntu will not load, recovery is not an option from what i know... [01:52] tldr [01:52] Nick___: get into a livecd [01:52] if you can [01:52] and you can still access those partitions i think [01:53] i have to burn it onto a cd, or can i use a USB? [01:53] and extract data if you really wanted to. at least that's how it worked pre-UEFI [01:53] i think you can use USB> never done it before. i've always used CDs [01:53] there is no data worth saving [01:53] would i have to use a 12.10 iso [01:54] fellayaboy: then your question must be tl;dr as well! [01:54] Ok guys, when trying to install a program I get a popup asking for the administrative password. My user password I use to login does not work. [01:54] wow050: i have an idea, run the program with sudo instead [01:55] How do i do so? [01:55] i dunno [01:55] i don't even know what you're running :D [01:55] would a live cd be the same as http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop [01:55] lol i got it though...i looked at the documentation and found the solution thanks [01:55] the installation tool? [01:55] I think so. === mitch_offline is now known as mitch_ [01:55] well i have that, the 12.04 version though [01:55] wow050, try "addgroup [yourname] adm" and "addgroup yourname sudo" [01:55] It used to be. This is my first time using ubuntu since..... 09? [01:56] okay, but even then i cannot get into the recovery.. i think [01:56] next time ill check documentation..thats a new lifelong resolution ima commit to as a linux user [01:56] wow050, without the brackets [01:56] fellayaboy: good man [01:56] yeah man thanks daftykins [01:56] <3 [01:56] recovery is ctrl + alt + F1 in the installation program, correct? [01:56] wish me lucky please on my life adventure [01:56] luck* [01:57] not sure Nick___ === Marlenee_g is now known as Marlenee] [01:57] iim not being sarcastic.. [01:57] mm [01:57] since you seem to be on the internet... [01:57] lol [01:57] ? [01:58] Dovermo: It said I was already in both groups yet I had to add sudo to those commands for them to work [01:58] google. i asked on here cuz i couldn't get tne Fn power button thing to work to do diagnostics on my computer lol. [01:58] ive looked on the internet about recovery mode but i only find terminal commands [01:58] yeah well [01:58] use terminal commands [01:58] wow050, oh [01:58] but my screen in blank [01:58] so how can i open termial [01:58] blank how [01:58] when i boot ubuntu [01:58] the logo shows, then a black screen [01:58] ctrl+alt+f1 gets you into a VTE i think [01:58] try it [01:59] yes... on the recovery disk [01:59] once you get into a vte [01:59] it shold ask you to login [01:59] nope [01:59] ...login [01:59] DoverMo, 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] lol [01:59] Rad-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [01:59] Nick___: 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' mode [01:59] wow050, "sudo ./Path/to/executable" [01:59] Nick___: honestly, I would kinda love to have pictures if it is possible. [01:59] i can do that if you want [02:00] sure [02:00] get into VTE1 or whatever it's called. [02:00] wow050, or "gksu nameofprogram" if it exists in /usr/bin [02:00] okay then [02:00] i'm betting the black screen is because you're on VTE7 or whatever. that's what x runs on (i think) [02:00] in order to get into VTE1, i have to boot via USB though [02:00] not through ubuntu [02:00] daftykins: feel free to correct anything i say [02:00] Nick___: theoretically you can get it done in ubuntu too [02:00] try it [02:01] if so, you just need to reinstall your graphics driver thingy [02:01] find out what you need to do to have graphics by doing 'sudo lshw' [02:01] .....ubuntu comes with lshw right? [02:02] so you want me to boot into livecd (usb installation) and then go into the terminal screen? [02:02] DoverMo, it said command not found? [02:02] Nick___: try it intside ubunut first [02:02] i heard that if i get a new kernal [02:02] the problem will go away === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [02:02] wow050, gksu isn't installed by default, so you have to install it. sudo should be there however [02:02] alright [02:02] can i haz pics?

[02:03] !gksu | somsip [02:03] somsip, please see my private message [02:03] ah [02:03] DoverMo, No just doing sudo then the location of the file gave that [02:03] on ubuntu i got into the termial [02:03] via ctrl + alt + F1 [02:03] yeah [02:03] now login [02:03] and reinstall your graphics driver [02:03] whatever it is [02:03] lol [02:04] Rad-: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation.

[02:04] nevermind [02:04] wow050, 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-get [02:04] how do you not know your login -_- [02:04] found it [02:04] ah well it was just my name.. [02:05] DoverMo, Do I include the period either? [02:05] I dont have a login screen on my ubuntu [02:05] wow050, yep [02:05] it boots straight to desktop usually [02:05] oh. [02:05] wow050, the period is there for a reason. Without the period it would be more like "sudo sh /usr/bin/poop" [02:06] yeah um. when i use ubuntu i install x and then i3 and that's it [02:06] lol [02:06] so should i try sudo apt-get update? [02:06] or look for a way to find a new kernal [02:07] kernel [02:07] Dovermo, still says Commad not found. Wtf is going on... [02:07] any suggestions? [02:07] ah i found a command line [02:08] Nick___: do you know what computer you own? [02:08] make and model? [02:08] yeah [02:08] wow050, okayy so if you do "sudo passwd root" what does it say? [02:08] its Acer Aspire E1-531 [02:08] Enter new UNIX password [02:08] DoverMo: i hope you're not trying to suggest he create a password for root =| [02:09] DoverMo, It says Enter new UNIX password. [02:09] wow050: he's giving you some seriously bad advice [02:09] wow050, And don't do it. [02:09] How do I know if my graphics card has been installed properly. Using ubuntu 12.04 [02:09] wow050, hit control C then [02:10] Nick___: reinstall intel graphics driver [02:10] marz: running glxgears would tend to show if a driver was on or not [02:10] Why is it bad advice? [02:10] do you know the command for that rad [02:10] because i dont... === jcv_ is now known as jj123 [02:10] wow050, Ubuntu has no root password [02:10] wow050, I just wanted to see if sudo was working. you don't need to run that command [02:11] @daftykinds: I think my laptop is using a dual graphics card. Intel and Nvidia [02:11] @daftykinds: How do I check it out? [02:11] !root | wow050 [02:11] wow050: Do not try to guess the root password, that is impossible. Instead, realise the truth... there is no root password. Then you will see that it is 'sudo' that grants you access and not the root password. Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo [02:11] marz: oh, optimus? [02:11] rad : i was going to try this http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2129536 [02:11] @daftykins: I [02:12] Ok so than how can I launch this excecutable using sudo? [02:12] @daftykins: I'm not sure. That's what I'm trying to figure out [02:12] its very similar to my problem [02:12] wow050: change to the folder it's in and type 'sudo ./filename' === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [02:12] marz, Use tab to complete nicks, that notifies the person you addressing, @ does not. [02:12] your* [02:12] Nick___: dunno i was gonna suggest what one of they suggested [02:12] reinstall this: xserver-xorg-video-intel [02:12] otherwise [02:12] marz: if it's an i-series intel processor with an nvidia xxx-M GPU, it likely is optimus [02:12] daftykins, one thing you could try before using sudo is "chmod +x /thexecutable" [02:13] we're going to have to work on some grub configuration which i really don't wanna do [02:13] lol [02:13] wilee-nilee: I'm sorry about that. [02:13] well ill try the nvidia === Wigflip is now known as elmarrow_ [02:13] DoverMo: that's not me asking to do that :( [02:13] and maybe the one i showed in [02:13] daftykins, wrong tab [02:13] the link [02:13] daftykins: How can I check that out? [02:13] DoverMo: if he had it asking for a pass it must've gotten further [02:13] marz, No biggie you just the other t o know and the rest of us. ;) [02:13] wow050, one thing you could try before using sudo is "chmod +x /thexecutable" to make sure the file will actually run [02:13] 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 daftykins [02:13] daftykins: How do I navigate there again? Fairly new and cant remember the exact command? [02:14] i think there's a web interface to look it up but i don't know the link right now >.> [02:14] marz: erm, not sure on a way to confirm it to be honest [02:14] DoverMo, No I know the file will actually run, ive given it permissions and ran it by double clicking [02:14] sorry rad but your command didnt work [02:14] it didnt install [02:14] i didn't give you any commands -___- [02:14] i gave you a package name [02:15] wow050: have you tried what i said to run yet? [02:15] ahah... well the package sorry [02:15] reinstall* [02:15] don't install [02:15] daftykins, I forgot how to navigate to a folder. [02:15] oh i included purge [02:15] im not suppost to do that [02:15] lol [02:15] sudo apt-get install --reinstall xserver-xorg-video-intel [02:15] wow050, "cd" allows you to navigate and "ls" will list the files in the folder you are in === Guest6670 is now known as jan1337zZz [02:16] wow050: if you're going to dick around with permissions like DoverMo seems to suggest at times, i would suggest ls -l because it lists permissions as well [02:16] iirc [02:16] well rad [02:17] "Unable to correct problem, you have broken packages" [02:17] ... [02:17] well fix them [02:17] lol [02:17] im not sure how [02:17] only had ubuntu for like a week [02:17] ill try the commands in the link i showed [02:17] he seems to have the same problems as me [02:17] Nick___: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman_Rosetta [02:18] Usefull command lin commands for ubuntu there [02:18] ah i see [02:18] make sure you're looking at the debian/ubuntu column. [02:18] When I input "lspci". There seems to be two video cards displayed. Intel and Nvidia [02:18] yes yes [02:18] How do I make sure both of them are used? [02:18] no yum for me [02:19] daftykins, Do i type the file extension when i use the command? [02:19] also Nick___ what did you purge [02:19] =\ [02:19] eariler? nothing removed [02:19] so dont worry [02:19] if it doesnt work after this rad [02:20] i might just reinstall [02:20] daftykins: apt-get --fix-broken / does this actually work? [02:20] but i dont have a 12.10 iso and i dont know where to find one [02:20] download one from the internet Nick___ [02:20] i only saw ones for server [02:20] from the ubuntu website at least [02:20] daftykins: Im getting a command not found error [02:20] will you give me five dollars if i find one for you Nick___ [02:21] naw i know if i look i can find one [02:21] its just late and im getting lazy for the day [02:21] wow050: i don't think you're typing it right [02:21] it's 22:21 where I'm at and I've been lazy this entire time. Just go find one Nick___ [02:21] daftykins: I tried a different file in the same folder as well. [02:21] alright [02:21] i shall do that after this [02:22] ah there [02:22] im reinstalling video drivers [02:22] daftykins: This is what i typed when i naviagated to the folder "sudo ./Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.16-86992.vbox-extpack" without the quotes [02:23] restart xorg after you reinstall Nick___ [02:23] cant i just reboot? [02:23] also i'm only half paying attention because... i'm reading this: http://mirrors.ibiblio.org/CTAN/info/lshort/english/lshort.pdf [02:23] you can. but it's esaiser to restart xorg i think [02:23] well okay [02:23] apt-get restart -xorg? [02:23] no. [02:23] yeah sorry im no good at terminal [02:24] ps -a [02:24] i'm guessing [02:24] maybe ill just restart [02:24] and tell me everything you see [02:24] uh [02:24] well okay [02:24] ps -a xorg? [02:24] just learn how to use linux Nick___ -_- [02:24] no [02:24] ps -a [02:24] daftykins: Does that command look right? [02:24] okay well [02:25] PID 1829 TTY ttyl1 TIME 0:00:00 CMD bash [02:25] Nick___: use a paste bin bro [02:25] Nick___: http://paste.ubuntu.com [02:25] uh [02:26] wow050: yeah, although are you sure it's how they say it's installed? [02:26] okay then [02:27] daftykins: You dont have to run it in sudo to get it to open but it was suggested I do because it asks for an administrative password when I try to install it. [02:27] PID TTY TIME CMD [02:27] 1829 tty1 0:00:00 bash [02:27] 6682 tty1 0:00:00 ps [02:27] Nick___: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:27] Nick___: use a pastebin ffs [02:27] oh [02:27] wow050: i know i was the one that suggested it :'( [02:28] well i already pasted it.. [02:29] anything? [02:30] daftykins: Oh ha ha! Well this is really strange, is there any other way I run it with sudo? [02:30] still there rad? === sarcasticsimba is now known as vigs [02:31] Nick___: give me a link? [02:31] http://paste.ubuntu.com/5991270/ [02:31] rebooting though [02:32] Nick___: that's it? [02:32] then type startx [02:32] well.. [02:32] i booted into ubuntu [02:32] so im all good now? [02:32] sorry i just rebooted to see [02:33] wow050: i really think you ought to look up how to use that thing properly, maybe if you even are supposed to be using that that way [02:33] i guess. is shit working like you want it to Nick___ [02:33] daftykins: Use what thing? [02:33] well ubuntu booted up [02:33] so yes [02:33] well congratulations Nick___ [02:33] welcome to ubuntu [02:33] i think ill spend the next few days looking at installing grub though [02:33] er thankyou [02:33] Nick___: you probably already have grub installed [02:33] i was on ubuntu before, i just broke it today [02:34] if you can reboot and get into linux fine [02:34] you're set [02:34] maybe but it didnt show up when i booted [02:34] .. [02:34] do i need to hold shift for that? [02:35] should be automatic no? [02:35] how many OS' do you have on ther system Nick___ [02:36] just windows 8, ubuntu 12.10 [02:36] hm. [02:36] you might have to look into that UEFI thing [02:36] well [02:36] apparently ubuntu 12.10 was supposed to solve my problem [02:36] no? [02:36] because it could get passed secure boot [02:36] you solve your own problems? [02:36] as a signed OS [02:37] yes well you have to do some setting up as well [02:37] perhaps [02:37] but ive only heard of configuring the bios [02:37] which im unable to do [02:37] you said i could do it in windows [02:37] but i havnt read about that [02:37] i didn't say that. daftykins said that i think [02:37] oh sorry [02:38] mm but yeah [02:38] i dont know how to get around UEIF, because both OS need to be on the same bios correct [02:38] nah i didn't say anything about using windows to change secure boot [02:38] it's UEFI btw ;) [02:38] sorry [02:38] anywho heading for 4am, i really need to get away from here [02:38] gl with it and laters all \o [02:38] nooo [02:38] bye dafy [02:39] daftykins: Here is a screenshot of the prompt it gives me http://i.imgur.com/C1zOTmM.jpg [02:39] its okay rad, if you have no more information for me [02:39] i can go [02:39] daftykins was the one doing good tech support [02:39] *shrugs* if you're good for now, go Nick___ [02:39] well [02:39] wow050: what are the actual contents of that file, can you tell me? [02:39] any closing comments for me and getting grub to work? [02:39] Nick___: good luck reading documentation and good luck with ubuntu [02:40] ah...well.. [02:40] alright then, ill let you go [02:40] Rad-: Its an extension pack for VirtualBox [02:40] no [02:40] and ill be back after some research if need be [02:40] like the actual contents of the file wow050 [02:40] open it up in a text editor or something [02:40] always double check files before you run it [02:40] Rad-: Ok, [02:40] make sure it doesn't have anything stupid in it like 'sudo rm -rf /' [02:42] Rad- : Its an excecutable so its all a bunch of weird characters [02:42] oh it's an exectuable not a shell script [02:42] d'oh [02:42] open up terminal and run it [02:42] wow050: what is the actual problem here? You can clearly run the file... [02:42] are you trying to install virtualbox? [02:43] somsip: The problem is I dont know the password that its asking me for because my user password doesnt work. [02:43] Rad- : How would I run it in terminal? [02:43] navigate to folder [02:43] ./filename [02:43] wow050: do you want to install it as a user or as root? [02:44] Rad-: that will have the same result, no? It'll still get to the 'enter password' prompt as when it's double clicked [02:44] somsip: I would guess root so it will bypass asking for that password [02:44] wow050: sudo -i (then enter password) then execute as Rad- is telling you [02:45] wow050: actually, just sudo ./filename is probably enough... [02:45] somsip: why do you need the -i [02:46] somsip: sorry i don't know how to use GNOME [02:46] lol [02:46] terminal works fine so... i just kinda go with it [02:46] somsip: Got permission denied? [02:46] Rad-: only if the installer requires environmental variables for root to be used. Unlikely though. I confused the issue [02:46] i doubt it somsip [02:46] it's virtualbox [02:46] lol [02:46] wow050: you got the message when you did what? Paste the command you used [02:47] sudo -i is the standard advice [02:47] wow050: you are entering the password for the virtual machine and not the password for your host? [02:48] somsip: typed sudo i, entered pass, naviagted to folder, than typed ./Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.16-86992.vbox-extpack [02:48] wow050: add sudo in front of the ./filename [02:48] wow050: is the VM running? [02:48] somsip: No the VM is not running. [02:48] hi everyone [02:48] mini, hi [02:49] hi Dover [02:49] rad-: When I type sudo ./Oracle_VM_VirtualBox_Extension_Pack-4.2.16-86992.vbox-extpack I get the command not found error [02:49] am i allowed to tell someone to sudo su? [02:49] i just started using 13.04 and it looks very simple [02:50] Rad-: you can, but people should criticise you for it [02:50] mini, that's good [02:50] somsip: tbh that's because i never figured out how to have sudo for a big command. so i just sudo su, then exit [02:51] wow050: try 'sudo VBoxManage extpack install Oracle....' [02:51] Rad-, once you enter sudo once, the terminal is supposed to remember that environment [02:51] Rad-: if you must enter a root shell, use sudo -i. And learn how to use sudo for big commands so you don't have to do this often [02:51] DoverMo: doesn't work for piping iirc [02:51] is it stable? [02:51] i just use it for basic internet browsing [02:51] i would like to use to create CDs with mp3s === peter_ is now known as Guest19929 [02:51] does youtube to mp3 work? [02:51] Rad-: man tee [02:51] mini: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [02:52] somsip: Where you typed orcale... is that where I would put the file name? [02:52] somsip: i know what tee does but.. i thought it just outputs to two places? [02:52] wow050: yes [02:52] i meant [02:52] Rad-, yeah. remembering sudo isn't an old feature [02:52] sudo 'this command needs sudo'| 'thiscommandneedssudo too' [02:52] mini, yeah you can do all of that [02:52] do i sudo in both places? [02:52] because it always falis for me lol [02:52] Rad-: echo 'something' | sudo tee /protected/file [02:53] hrm [02:53] meh. i think hardware diagnostics is failing too [02:53] -___- [02:54] wow050: or try from inside VirtualBox using this guide http://is.gd/jIeI4D === jan1337zZz is now known as jan1337z === jan1337z is now known as Jan [02:54] wow050: you can also, in vbox, go to file > preferences > extensions, and install the file there (so im reading) [02:54] ChogyDan: snap :) === Jan is now known as Guest62795 [02:55] somsip: you beat me :) [02:55] lol ChogyDan [02:55] none of us read the documentationＸＤ [02:55] ChogyDan: clever thing this Google. I think they're on to something with that service... [02:55] i was just going on what the last guy said [02:56] somsip: I think that command did the trick! Thank you! [02:56] Rad-: People who don't know answers dont read documentation. [02:56] wow050: np. It was paining me to see the struggle. Now I must get back to work [02:56] lol [02:56] mini, do you need help with what packages you need? [02:56] somsip: i read documentaiton and still don't know answers QQ [02:56] somsip: It was paining me as well. Almost 3 hours just to fix a virtual machine... FML [02:57] wow050: you learned that the easy answer was on the 'how to install extension packs' webpage for virtual box. Hint, hint [02:57] it's okay wow050 . i'm in my second hour trying to figure out why my computer won't boot, let me into bios, or anything like that [02:59] ah after running basic tets it let me into bios yay [03:00] now let's see if it will let me boot from cd-rom! [03:01] Hello people, what is the equivalent for dpkg to the rpm -qi (query information of package)? [03:01] If i execute rpm -qi package gives me the information, version, host builder, etc [03:01] dpkg how works?

[03:10] hi, I'm playing dota 2 on steam and my computer has almost frozen. ctrl esc does not work, but when I move my mouse it occasionally moves. this has happened before but never this bad. I used ctrl alt f# to try to log in, it won't work. I can type but no command works, not even my login name. ctrl c works though [03:11] what Ubuntu version are you running? [03:12] 13.04 and xubuntu desktop [03:12] what GPU you running? [03:12] still cannot get my computer to boot from cd. wtf is wrong with UEFI? [03:12] gtx 660 [03:12] ah [03:13] try to get the beta drivers, the latest WHQL doesn't like Ubuntu 13.04 [03:13] whql? [03:13] stable [03:13] but how do I close dota 2 without a hard reset? [03:13] released by Nvidia [03:14] Ctrl+C doesn't do it? [03:14] nope [03:15] I'm running very slowly and I normally use ctrl esc to minimize dota [03:15] nothing works, and ctrl alt f# takes a minute to change [03:16] and assuming you've tried traditional Alt+F4,? [03:16] I haven't [03:16] try that real quick [03:16] also, can you get to the desktop? [03:16] nothing [03:16] no [03:17] my screen is black and I see e mouse that's very sluggishly moving [03:17] hrmm [03:18] try Alt+F2 [03:18] does anything come up? [03:18] nope [03:19] I can try SHS login [03:19] SHS [03:19] how about Ctrl+Alt+F1 [03:19] ? [03:19] ssh [03:19] ahhhh! ubuntu keeps intercepting ALT+right-click from my applications!! [03:19] xD [03:19] lel [03:19] that works but it takes time [03:19] Ctrl+Alt+F2? [03:19] Ctrl+Alt+F1?* [03:19] it takes a minute for that to work [03:20] but it works? [03:20] yes [03:20] type ps -A [03:20] in the console [03:20] but when I'm there, typing is leggy and nothing seems to work [03:20] and then kill -9 (PID) [03:20] try those commands real wuick [03:20] laggy. worry this ipad irc client auto corrects [03:20] lol [03:21] I can't even log in when I do ctrl alt f3 === Rope is now known as ese [03:21] the commands didn't work? [03:21] ni291187: maybe not related to your problem, but this has hints on what you can check after you've killed it https://github.com/ValveSoftware/Dota-2/issues/58 [03:22] yea saw that earlier from Google [03:22] I get a blinking underscore under the login screen, in fact, I have a other instance where I'm logged in but I get the same problem there [03:22] however, ctrl c works [03:22] that's pretty much the only way to kill it then? [03:22] hi [03:22] if that closes out of it, then what is the issue? [03:22] hello hazardous [03:22] does anyone know if i can set reserved ports or something? i have some services on high port numbers that restart constantly [03:22] and someimtes that port is used or in TIME_WAIT [03:23] so bind fails [03:23] hazardous, you may be able to go into the config files for that service and set it. [03:23] hmmmm.... 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 password [03:23] utfans05: no, i mean - the OS is using it for outbound ports or something [03:23] as long as a zombie task (or active task, obviously) is running, it will take the port [03:23] what ports? [03:23] hazardous: what ports? [03:23] 60042 [03:23] 59380 [03:24] it's not listening, but using it to make an outbound connection [03:24] Are you running some type of SQL or DB?

[04:17] somsip: :p you will need a big frame [04:17] i cant get my drivers straight [04:17] hopeless: drivers of your... [04:17] hopeless, we need all the details. [04:17] i think im a little overwhelmed [04:18] nvidia drivers [04:18] !nvidia | hopeless [04:18] hopeless: For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [04:18] hopeless, what have you already tried? [04:19] i look through the tutorial but my command line dont seem to be the same [04:19] lines* [04:20] hopeless: usually the answer is to just install nvidia-current. There are exceptions to this, and most people overcomplicate by wanting newer, shinier drivers [04:20] hence the name hopeless [04:20] im trying to run minecraft [04:21] hopeless: so what have you done so far? [04:21] the ubuntu drivers wont work for some reason [04:21] hopeless, you can try do download driver for your video card from nvidia official site, then install mc: sudo apt-get install mc. then press alt+control+f1 and write sudo mc [04:21] here you can write service lightdm stop === andrex|off is now known as andrex [04:22] i have the nvidia driver [04:22] then find driver from nvidia, mark it executable in menu/rights(extended) and install it [04:22] what driver you have? [04:22] if you type nvid and press tab twice what shows up? [04:23] i mean something like this: i have 319 driver [04:23] where do i type? [04:23] in terminal [04:23] it says nvidia [04:24] nvidia- [04:24] so some driver is installed. what is it not doing that you want it to? [04:24] yeah i guess? [04:25] it wont run ay of my games [04:25] what game? [04:25] hopeless: where did you get it from and how did you install it [04:25] minecraft [04:25] maybe its not driver fault [04:26] maybe not [04:26] so if you launch minecraft what does it do? [04:26] try to open terminal and write there mine then press tab [04:26] it crashes at the load screen [04:26] then choose minecraft or something and press enter [04:27] hopeless, do what leaf_watoru said [04:28] well thats new? [04:28] An error occurred while loading the archive.

[04:29] MrKeuner: ps aux [04:29] after game crashes copy to here what terminal says [04:29] somsip, in top? [04:30] MrKeuner: you run "ps aux" in a terminal [04:30] I'd like to see them in top [04:30] MrKeuner: try resorting it to get others at the top? [04:30] somsip, top does not show them at all [04:30] MrKeuner: press ? to see the help page [04:30] i cant even run it now [04:31] can you paste the output of teminal after you treid to run minecraft from terminal? [04:31] MrKeuner: what processes are you hoping to see? [04:31] how do i run from trminal [04:31] hopeless: test the grahpics driver separately.. see that you have it installed and working properly.. now you dont know if the issue is with the driver/system or game [04:32] do you have optimus support in your nvidia card? [04:32] if yes, did you installed bumblee? [04:32] or you just activated driver in hardware support menu? [04:33] can anyone do a remote view of my computer? [04:33] somsip, hehe nevermind, I was listing just the active processes... thought it was listing only the processes runnning in that display [04:34] MrKeuner: k [04:34] - [04:35] hopeless: just follow what people are saying [04:35] i do not want to go back to windows but i think im in over my head [04:35] hopeless: not likely any volunteer wanting to do "remote viewing" [04:35] hopeless: have you confirmed the driver is installed and working? [04:36] idk how honestly [04:36] Ubuntu 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 USB [04:36] Stick is unallocated, so I can't add the Boot Flag to it. [04:37] hopeless: i use "glxgears" from the mesa-utils package [04:37] ctcb, do you have a windows pc aroud. stick it in there and wipe it. [04:37] utfans05, I need to make this USB Stick to fix my Windows PC, I killed it, by accidentally overwriting boot files for it. [04:37] in the store? [04:37] ouch. [04:38] s/clear [04:38] hopeless: i issue this command from the terminal.. "glxgears".. if that runs, the 3d is possible [04:38] ctcb, gparted then delete the partion and recreate it? [04:38] Error: couldn't get an RGB, Double-buffered visual [04:39] hopeless: so, you can stop trying to run a 3d game, til you get the driver sorted out [04:39] hopeless: what hardware do you have? [04:39] utfans05, gparted won't do that unless it's zeroed, since the ISO makes the drive sort of read-only. [04:39] yeah [04:39] what model of video card you have [04:39] ctcb: sudo sync to flush writtings [04:39] e.g. i have nvidia gt 510M [04:40] amd 64 nvidia nforce [04:40] ctcb, I dont have my linux box with me to test it on my usb. hrm. [04:40] Okay, I'm zeroing it again. [04:40] I need the boot flag on the drive or my the Stick won't boot. XD [04:41] I'd rather use Rufus, but that's Windows only. [04:41] i think linux sucks [04:41] write sudo lshw " grep nvidia in terminal [04:41] but windows is worse [04:41] i mean sudo lshw | grep nvidia [04:41] !ot | loganlee [04:41] loganlee: #ubuntu is the Ubuntu support channel, for all Ubuntu-related support questions. Please use #ubuntu-offtopic for other topics (though our !guidelines apply there too). Thanks! [04:41] ctcb: off course, but is it worth trying unetbootin? [04:41] i use unetbootin [04:42] configuration: driver=nvidia latency=0 [04:43] :( seems thats not that command [04:43] somsip, I did try that, but when I tried to boot it, it gave me a screen with Default on it, and wouldn't let me boot the windows iso. [04:43] you have notebook or pc? [04:44] if notebook, is there stick about nvidia [04:44] ctcb : unetbootin wont work with windows iso. [04:44] there should be info about video card [04:44] ctcb: k - worth a try. i don't have enough experience of it to help you troubleshoot that [04:44] ctcb do you have the windows iso? [04:44] i played minecraft ors a whole day i shutdown went to bed and when i tried to play again it crashed [04:45] utfans05, Yes, I do, directly from Microsoft. [04:45] ctcb: i would ask them how you are supposed to use it [04:45] did you installed some updates? [04:45] ctcb, have you tried to just dd it to the drive? [04:45] i dont think so [04:45] utfans05, Yep, nothing happens, I don't think the drive is boot flagged, though. [04:45] ctcb: you have tried it in the windows laptop to see if it actually fails to boot and not just assumed it wont? [04:46] somsip, I tried loading it, black screen with a white cursor for like 5 seconds, then it tried to boot my dead hard drive. [04:46] i uninstalled all the drivers this morning and it ran but slow [04:46] ctcb try this dd if=winfile of=/dev/sd(usb) oflag=direct bs=2M [04:46] hopeless: the game ran? [04:46] utfans05: will not work, windows isos are not multi-isos [04:47] yeah [04:47] ctcb: k. searches mostly suggest the approch you have or unetbootin. But also, winusb on this page http://askubuntu.com/questions/116885/can-i-use-ubuntu-to-write-a-windows-7-iso-to-usb-in-ubuntu [04:47] hopeless: then, thats how it will run.. [04:47] so then you just installed drivers again? [04:47] hopeless: go back to that, and troubleshoot the game with the developer.. try other versions of it.. and java [04:47] but i did it again and it and it didnt [04:48] hopeless: then, try again, *exactly* as you did before [04:48] holstein, On the website they basically said "Write this to a DVD and It'll boot!", but I can't do that. [04:48] Since my PC doesn't have a CD or DVD Drive. [04:48] ctcb: please ask microsoft how to create a bootable usb stick with windows [04:48] ctcb: sure.. but you are assuming its able to boot from USB.. [04:48] ctcb: offtopic here [04:48] cctb : have a look at this http://www.webupd8.org/2012/01/tool-to-create-windows-usb-install.html [04:48] how do i delete all the drivers [04:48] sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia [04:49] ctcb: that is not our iso.. you get support from them about how you are to use it.. if it says 'write to disc', then, that is all that is guranteed [04:49] ctcb: winusb may be worth a try http://www.ubuntugeek.com/tag/winusb-ubuntu [04:49] : Unable to locate package nvidia [04:49] holstein, My friend was able to get his to work on a USB Stick from windows. But, I don't have access to his stick, or windows right now. [04:49] try nvidia* [04:50] ctcb: then, ask your friend, or microsoft.. its not an ubuntu or caonnonical related issue or product that the volunteers can help you with here [04:51] holstein, My view is that this is an ubuntu problem, since the OS itself isn't doing the task I'm giving it. [04:51] If I went to microsoft, they'd probably say it was an Ubuntu problem. [04:51] in ufw logs, what is difference between "audit" and "block". I want it to block on a certain port, yet it sometimes says "audit" for addresses I don't want. It's been difficult to find into on ufw log messages. [04:52] ctcb: could we stop this ms stuff? we dont care about ms [04:52] ctcb: they might say "we dont allow the product to be booted from USB" [04:52] ctcb : calm down. did you tried winusb in ubuntu [04:52] *to find info on [04:52] btw what ubuntu version you have? [04:52] ctcb: ##windows [04:52] ctcb: its not on topic here, friend.. its a windows disc.. for a windows install CD.. [04:52] !firewall | chilli-salad [04:52] chilli-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/IptablesHowTo [04:52] Aravindgeek: ctcb: already suggested that twice but no response... My help ends there [04:53] lotuspsychje, 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. [04:54] sometimes I see "audit" for an address I'm allowing. [04:55] chilli-salad: man ufw shows logging info [04:56] so 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. [04:57] lotuspsychje, nothing in there about audit messages [04:57] like I've said, it's been very difficult to find info on this. It's like no one's interested. [04:58] chilli-salad: contact developers mailing list [04:58] hopeless, are you alive? [04:58] that may be the way to go. [04:59] chilli-salad, so you have then set as blocked and audited? [04:59] chilli-salad: http://askubuntu.com/questions/143371/what-do-ufws-audit-log-entries-mean [05:00] utfans05, 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] chilli-salad, the issue is I strictly use uptables. Its what I know. [05:01] chilli-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. [05:02] utfans05, what does it mean that they are being audited? [05:03] looking 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] whereas ports that I only allowed specific IP addresses, it says "allow". [05:04] chilli-salad, try reading this. http://askubuntu.com/questions/143371/what-do-ufws-audit-log-entries-mean [05:05] utfans05, been there already. Note what the user said: "that's a guess, and I can't seem to find anything concrete with that." [05:05] yeah. [05:06] the documentation isn't good enough is what I'm thinking. [05:06] yeah.

[06:19] Well we can click it but it won't do anything at all.. upload to imgur.com or something [06:19] Or run a temp python http server heh [06:19] krey_: no idea. I use googles... i dont se eany reason to not use their free service [06:20] krey_: You need to find other ways to research these things then. i'm back to work... [06:20] dr_willis_: they're evil? :( [06:20] krey_: 'SIP' providers perhaps? [06:20] krey_: cant say ive ever noticed... [06:21] i dont use google anymore here [06:21] I don't get the whole "they're evil" thing, if the whole privacy thing there's no such thing as privacy on the internet [06:22] internet is paid for by ads. ;) [06:22] which i block... [06:23] thx guys, I'll look into SIP providers [06:24] krey_, I'm also interested in that. [06:24] idk wat im doing can u take over n do it please [06:24] is 387.54 MB/sec good for an SSD? (via hdparm) [06:24] whodi: we have no idea what you are wanting to do... whats your ubuntu related problem? [06:24] krey_, yeah, based on what I've looked into SIP is the protocol that seems to be most successful open source [06:24] Mace268: would depend on the ssd drive.. they can vary in performance. [06:24] hdparms test - is juat a very general benchmark. [06:24] nvm idk lol [06:25] !support | whodi [06:25] whodi: The official ubuntu support channel is #ubuntu. Also see http://ubuntu.com/support and http://ubuntuforums.org and http://askubuntu.com [06:25] chilli-salad: sweet, so do you know any reasonable SIP providers? I think the biggest issue with leaving skype is not having a readymade alternative [06:25] !alternatives [06:25] To change the default applications system-wide, use 'sudo update-alternatives --all' in a terminal. [06:25] I found some that looked decent, have to find them again. [06:25] ok this is all anon [06:25] hmm.. theres several 'alternatives to ...' type web sites out there [06:26] krey_, perhaps the OpenSIPS team can be pretty good. I can't say for sure, though: http://opensips.org/ [06:26] krey_, look at right side of page, it has login and signup. [06:26] whodi: your isp is 'charter' it seems.. and your ip is ...... [06:27] chilli-salad, no, this seems to be the wrong sort of thing, I can't find call / text rates [06:28] whodi: do you havee an actual ubuntu support related question or problem?

[06:33] krey_, I found some by looking up "skype alternatives". VoxOx listed here looks interesting, although I don't how good they are about privacy: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/fed-up-with-skype-here-are-6-of-the-best-free-alternatives/ [06:33] idk i just want to figure this all out [06:33] there are no skype alternatives [06:33] if you're looking for usability and ease [06:33] is this anon?

They will have shell access but will not be able to get outside of the assigned directory. [06:49] talking about jail? [06:49] so they could use a program like FileZilla that use what's called sftp, which is really a shell account. [06:50] for the end user, it will be just like using FTP. [06:50] but it will actually be secure.

[06:55] lotuspsychje: downloadhelper might work in Firefox [06:55] lotuspsychje: youtube-dl is probably faster [06:55] reisio: like a browser yes, but soundcloud is very heavy [06:55] and btw, I've found the server guide to be great for getting various services running. I've followed it exactly, with only one bug I've discovered so far.

So I don't want to complain too much that it is not fully configured, afterall I wouldn't have nearly exlusive access otherwise [07:05] Good [07:05] can anyone help me? [07:05] lotuspsychje, ubottu: Thanks. for the info. At least now, I am sure, the problem is not with iptables but with the kernel [07:05] bazhang: ok thanks..

I use it with my android and it's fine [07:40] karab44: because it forces you to go online. [07:40] so use system calendar then :) [07:40] karab44: and it also breaks with every single update. [07:41] nooo that's not true [07:41] I use it 5 years maybe and it never happened to me. Maybe I am lucky [07:41] In my opinion, Lightning feels like an ugly tumor on top of Thunderbird. In my humble opinion. :( === racedo` is now known as racedo [07:42] I need something like Sunbird. [07:42] so install sunbird. What's the matter? [07:42] karab44: it keeps crashing. [07:42] I'm guessing it's not compatible with the news libraries,k [07:42] or something. I don't know. [07:43] so it's not sunbird but you messedup in system then [07:43] I would use Lightning, but it's impossible to use it locally. [07:44] I just presed button work offline and it's done [07:44] what seems to be the problem? [07:44] It doesn't let me save the settings in the .ics file.

[07:47] HypnotiX: the filesystme is case senestive.. not the terminal ;) [07:47] *DocumentRoot not ServerName... [07:47] !cron | reuf [07:47] dr_willis_: ping -i eth0 ;) [07:47] reuf: cron is a way to schedule execution of software/scripts. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CronHowto [07:47] guys, guys! After some crashes and fire and errors... it says that everything is already updated. Cool thing [07:47] i'm going to install ubuntu on a vmware host - what is the best way to use it? vnc? vmware's console? smth else? [07:48] that command didn't do anything somsip [07:48] StathisA: depends on what you are going to do with it [07:48] this is how I do it [07:48] dr_willis_: yes yes [07:48] well i need it to be as close as possible as a "real" machine [07:48] StathisA: dont forget 'ssh' [07:48] yousaf: go to /var/www - I'll check the other command [07:49] yousaf: grep DocumentRoot /etc/apache2/sites-available/default (assuming a normal installation) [07:49] StathisA: thats rather vague. ;) if you need it acting like a desktop box.. full screen the vm and sit down at it. [07:49] well i kind need the web interface...i know about ssh - but i keep it for the server versions... [07:49] *ui interface [07:49] StathisA: need the web interface, you mean a box on the network you can use a browser or whatever? Or specifically Ubuntu programs? [07:49] StathisA: why are you using vmware over virtualbox? [07:50] DocumentRoot /var/www [07:50] ok got few more questions [07:50] sorry i mispelled...didnt want to write "web interface" but UI in general [07:50] is reset command for cleaning terminal safe? === halyard_ is now known as halyard [07:50] dr_willis_: if you ask that you would hate to see my home config lol [07:50] dr_willis_ i got an ESXi host standing by [07:50] StathisA: in most cases you may want to be using Lubuntu or xubuntu a lighter/quicker desktop also in a vm [07:50] somip /httpdocs/doz <--- I need to get to that directory [07:50] and how to increase line buffer for terminal? [07:51] '/proc' permission is 500, only root can see all process, anyone know how to solve it? thank you [07:51] karab44: yes it's just for the terminal session itself [07:51] can i theme the gnome terminal tabs [07:51] It's like doing clear but will reset other stuff [07:51] yes but it sounds more scary [07:51] It isn't, I have to use it when Xenconsole mangles my terminal [07:52] karab44: it also resets some of the 'modes' a terminal mey be in. so its handy to rember if you ever get weird characters [07:52] yousaf: cd /httpdocs/doz [07:52] When in doubt, man reset [07:52] thank you doctor [07:52] -bash: cd: /httpdocs: No such file or directory [07:52] ok but how to increase number of buffered lines printed in terminal? [07:52] difference between yum and apt-get [07:52] #precise [07:52] yousaf: that doesn't exist then, why are you trying to go there? Are you following a guide? [07:52] it remembers only one screen [07:52] Why are there duplicate executables in jdk/bin and jdk/jre/bin? Which copies should I install? [07:53] no, I can access that via ftp though [07:53] I want for example 2 thousand lines [07:53] dr_willis_: any clues? [07:53] I have uploaded some files there via ftp [07:53] need to work with them through commandline [07:53] kanupatar: fo what? [07:54] yousaf: so /httpdocs are on another machine? You will have to either mount it or ftp/ssh to the machine [07:54] another machine? [07:54] yousaf: you are editing files on a remote ftp server? [07:54] i am sure this is it [07:55] dr_willis_: that tcp dump version? i cannot download from launchpad [07:56] kanupatar: if theres an older version in the repos - you can use the pinning feature of apt to install the older version [07:56] !pin [07:56] pinning is an advanced feature that APT can use to prefer particular packages over others. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PinningHowto [07:56] how can it be on another machine, I only have one dedicated server [07:56] dr_willis_: i dont have a net connection in the linux machine [07:56] yousaf: so where are you sitting now? at the server and a monitor connected to it? [07:57] i have to get the deb and need to install there [07:57] ssh using putty [07:57] kanupatar: good luck then is all i can say i guess. [07:57] yousaf: so you are editing a file ON a remote server... [07:57] I am not editing any files yet [07:57] yousaf: you are using putty from a windows machine.. using ssh to get to a server. [07:57] but yes its a remote server [07:57] yes [07:57] yousaf: so... use an editor and start editing? whats the core of the problem? [07:58] yousaf: maybe check your user folder for it then? Is this a dedicated box/vps or a shared server? [07:58] ftp root isn't machine root [07:58] 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) [07:59] dr_willis, I have upload Laravel (PHP framework) to /httpdocs/doz.. i need to get to that folder through commandline so I can run the CLI [07:59] at the moment I can't get to that directory for some reason [07:59] nowayride its a dedicated box [07:59] So 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 netboot [07:59] yousaf: your path is most likely wrong. due to you not underatanding the fundamentals of the server and system paths. [08:00] in all honesty i dont know what i am doing, but if i get to that directory then i will know what to do :D [08:00] root@host-78-bla-bla-51:~# ls [08:00] parallels parallels_installer [08:00] 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 drive [08:00] that is what i see now, ignore the 'bla' parts [08:00] yousaf, you need to find out where your ftp server's virtual directories are located [08:01] Okay so, are you using Plesk then? [08:01] its installed on the server but i am not using it [08:01] i just got ssh and ftp access [08:01] yousaf: so cd / then look again with 'ls' to see whats there [08:01] yousaf: you uploaded laravel.zip? [08:02] nope, not in zip format i just upload my app via ftp [08:02] I got 2 eth interfaces in my machine and want to make sure the default route is always on eth0. So I set up a post-up rule deleting the default->eth1 rule. how can i make sure the default->eth0 rule has the correct gateway ip (achieved via DHCP) set? currently the gw ip is hard-coded in my /etc/networking/interfaces post-up rule... [08:02] hmm [08:02] yousaf: slow approach if all else fails 'find / -name filenamefromapp' [08:02] Panels kind of take everything over and have set paths, what's in /var/www is there vhosts? [08:03] yes [08:03] i can see vhosts [08:03] cgi-bin index.html vhosts webalizer [08:03] Check in there for the site and then for httpdocs or whatever [08:03] there it is! [08:04] oh man, either this is silly or i am just stupid [08:04] you be the judge of that lol [08:04] Also 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 gets [08:04] yousaf: it was in /var/www where I first suggested? [08:04] Nah it's just you're using a panel and it has its own organization to keep things sane between user/reseller accounts [08:04] somsip yes, but then i had to go to vhosts/sitename/httpdocs/doz [08:05] yousaf: ah ok. Good result in the end [08:05] Right, you have all been amazingly helpful so thank you [08:05] :) [08:05] yousaf: you may wnt to look up some info on the 'locate' command in case you loose stuff later. ;) [08:06] googling that now [08:06] well, part of problem is knowing what to look for in the first place :) [08:06] yousaf does tour wife call you yousless [08:06] you knew the file name. ;) [08:06] XD - no offence [08:06] I was search for "navigate directories ubuntu" [08:07] yousaf: err.. you dont have any underatanding of 'bash fundamentals' at all then? [08:07] reuf, I have been called Useless before, yes but not by my other half :D [08:07] dr_willis_ nope [08:07] i am a noob [08:07] everyone is noob at this or that [08:08] It's fine everyone starts somewhere, but learning CLI will be tremendously helpful if anything breaks [08:08] updatedb then locate can come in very handy [08:08] yousaf: then perhaps you should have been searching for 'bash tutorials' [08:08] I can only scroll one screen in server terminal. How to increase number of lines? [08:08] !bash [08:08] 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 [08:09] I use bash [08:09] this might sound awful but I wouldn't have known what 'bash' was, for me its ubuntu [08:09] so definitely have a lot to learn [08:09] yousaf: its not ubuntu.. the SHELL is 'bash' normally [08:09] is that similar to osx terminal? [08:09] and bash will be the same on most every disrto. and Os out there that uses bash [08:09] most commands seem to be similar [08:09] OS-X defaults to some other shell i belive.. but can use bash also [08:09] karab44: export HISTSIZE=1000 [08:09] karab44: what terminal are you using? That should be in the term's prefs [08:09] no, I think it defaults to bash too [08:10] yousaf: oS-X is based on BSD , [08:10] isn't ubuntu now dash? or did I understand incorrectly? [08:10] karab44: in ~/.bashrc by default IIRC [08:10] Dash is the 'search/app laiuncher ' part of unity [08:10] tap the windows key = brings up dash [08:10] wjat is the bash games suport from ubuntu i can downlaod [08:10] tap the alt key = brings up the 'hud' [08:10] somsip: I think he means scrollback not history [08:10] Oh yeah I was talking about what sh links to [08:10] Marlenee]: what? [08:10] unique features of shell script ? [08:11] !dash [08:11] /bin/sh links to the DASH shell in all releases since Ubuntu Edgy (6.10). Since DASH is not 100% compatible with the BASH shell, some scripts might break. You can make scripts execute using BASH by changing the first line of the script to « #! /bin/bash === Dude is now known as Guest95066 [08:11] dash is the 'sh' provider. :) bash has more feaatures then sh [08:11] nowayride: ooops. Try to do too much at once here... [08:11] dr_willis_ : games for bash [08:11] nowayride: true [08:11] Marlenee]: theres several in the repos. bsd-games and nethack.. and others [08:11] ive even seen space invaders and tetris for the console [08:12] i know that [08:12] what is new where can i get the list of games [08:12] /bin/sh -> dash but isn't passwd usually set for /bin/bash? I always get defaulted to it [08:13] Marlenee]: filter the output of apt or use some kind of software-center / synaptic or similar and search for 'games' [08:13] Or is it for scripts with #!/bin/sh? [08:13] What if I relinked sh to bash? Would that fix broken scripts or would that break other things?

[08:15] karab44: it refers to history, you need to check Putty/terminal/whatever you use for scrollback [08:15] karab44: my bad. That was for the 'history' command. I misread your request [08:15] i dont need graphic games i need so i can ply form ssh [08:16] so what [08:16] somsip: no prob bro. [08:16] Marlenee]: apt-cache search games console [08:16] somsip: just tell me how to fix that :). I use bash, in X env is simple cause I change it from preferences menu :) [08:17] Marlenee]: Angband? :) [08:17] !info rogue [08:17] Package rogue does not exist in raring [08:17] heh. [08:17] karab44: scrollback, for the third time check Terminal lol [08:18] nowayride: sorry, I don't get what you say [08:18] dr_willis_ : thanks [08:18] Not on the server, check your terminal's preferences [08:18] a [08:18] :) [08:19] it's VM [08:19] karab44: so what terminal program are you using?

[08:20] karab44: Look in the preferences of the terminal and change the scrollback [08:20] saki`: i imagine there are ' linux server beginner guides' [08:20] Putty might be a good idea.. but if you're getting the console itself it really should scroll more than that.

I use virtualbox so I am directly on the server [08:21] karab44: you can use putty or whatever to ssh into the server in the vm ;)) [08:21] saki`: 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] how to open a port to access from outside? [08:21] karab44: and you can use screen or tmux on the console for extra features [08:21] karab44: or that fbterm app i just mentioned.. but tmux or screen is WORTH learning [08:21] cool_boy: Not an Ubuntu problem, check the manual for your router [08:22] saki`: as example: goal 1: setup a small linux server in a VM. 2. setup a webserver (or even LAMP) inside that vm. .... [08:22] cool_boy: by default theres no firewall rules on a ubuntu system. so theres no closed ports.. just no services listening.. [08:22] blazemore: you mean that ports are disabled from router? [08:22] God I just want few more lines! Why it's so difficult? Why? :S [08:23] dr_willis_ : is it poosible to play atari games on ssh server [08:23] another hour wasted [08:23] dr_willis_: how can I make them service listenable? [08:23] cool_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 to [08:23] cool_boy: Which service? What are you actually trying to do? [08:23] cool_boy: you install a service.. the ports are open. [08:24] I 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. I'm wondering if I can copy the image onto an old Hard Drive and connect that via USB to the netbook to boot from? Then have it install ubuntu onto the HD that is installed within the netbook! [08:24] blazemore: I am running a server using --xmlrpc-port=port_number [08:24] karab44: learn tmux.. you will never go back [08:24] but when i try to access from web client on this port, it does not work [08:24] karab44: i cant receall EVER using the 'history buffer' in the console.. [08:24] You 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 increases [08:24] cool_boy: And does it work when you connect to it from within the network, or locally? [08:24] cool_boy: access from where> try accesing them from the server.

[08:34] oh my mistake [08:34] wow so cool it's clear :) [08:34] blazemore: no prob bro [08:35] karab44: and how many lines does it scroll now? i cant recall ever using the scrollbuffer on the console. [08:36] karab44: If you want more lines in the scrollbuffer without recompiling the kernel(!) you should install screen (sudo apt-get install screen) [08:36] karab44: 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] blazemore: why I need to use -PN with nmap? [08:36] first google hit for 'console scrollback buffer' http://linuxgazette.net/143/anonymous.html [08:37] cool_boy: It's the network config of your hosting provider, they're blocking IMCP reqiests [08:37] cool_boy: Or possibly the firewall on your server [08:37] dr_willis_: about 1000 or less [08:37] karab44, all I found on the subject is a kernel edit and recompile or use the fbcon device, but that info was from 2007 xD [08:37] cool_boy: Can you run the command nowayride asked you to, and post the actual full output on a pastebin? [08:38] 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 default [08:38] nowayride: I use ubuntu server so... I use terminal hello :) [08:39] karab44: I don't mean in virtualbox I mean on your desktop/laptop/workstation/whatever your keyboard is physically hooked up to [08:39] dr_willis_: I need to use bash instead of others. Ispconfig requires default bash [08:39] blazemore: that i should run on server's terminal? [08:40] karab44: That's a good point - you might be better off connecting via ssh rather than typing into the console directly through virtualbox [08:40] cool_boy: on the server try: netstat -tapn [08:40] are you talking about this commad ? netstat -tapn | grep ':2089' [08:40] Yes [08:40] cool_boy: but change 2089 to whatever port your program is supposed to listen on [08:40] karab44: you dont understand.. you run TMUX... it THEN RUNS BASH.. [08:40] That will tell you if a process is listening on the port.. but grep 2089 is whatever port it is [08:40] karab44: you ARE using BASH when you use tmux [08:41] karab44: if you use putty to ssh in.. it (guess what..) running/using BASH as your shell [08:41] You will get output like (in this case for port 80) tcp 0 0 0.0.0.0:80 0.0.0.0:* LISTEN [08:42] wait a second guys I am on ssh now. Will let you know [08:42] 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 console === milessabin_ is now known as milessabin [08:42] karab44: What program are you using to ssh in? PuTTY? [08:42] blazemore: mingw probably msys [08:42] i dont see much reason to use the console on cirtualbox if you can just use putty or whatever to ssh to the vm. [08:43] karab44: 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 mangled [08:43] Cn anyone help with a problem? I cannot get into nomodeset, it does not enter automatically, nor by holding the shift key after the bios screen [08:43] kostas: Do you mean you can't get to the GRUB menu? [08:44] kostas: you have to mash the left shift key like crazy [08:44] blazemore: that is correct, I was talking about grub [08:44] blazemore, nowayride [08:44] Ben64: I tried that with the shift key, didn't work [08:44] you just press and HOLD the shift key as far as i know [08:44] kostas: Turn your computer off. Hold shift. Turn it on. Don't let go of shift until you see the grub menu [08:44] http://pastie.org/8241472 [08:44] kostas: it does work, you have to mash it [08:44] blazemore: tried that a few times, didn't work unfortunately [08:44] guys [08:45] kostas: you have to go for the world record in shifts per minute [08:45] Ben64: holding it down doesn't count? [08:45] you're absolutely right! O windows terminal trough ssh it scrolls infinite [08:45] cool_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 working [08:45] 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 keyboard [08:45] cool_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 8069 [08:46] karab44: because the terminal app is handling the buffer. which is not the 'console' now [08:46] dr_willis_: the machine is a VAIOS laptop, any ideas? [08:46] Ugh why is it so hard to get Ubuntu to do an unattended install from iso :\ === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [08:47] so as far I understand the problem lays in VBOX buffer ? [08:47] nowayride: Isn't that what the OEM disk is for? [08:47] OEM disk? [08:47] kostas: means nothing to me. [08:47] karab44, it's in the linux kernel [08:47] nowayride: Sorry, I am mistaken [08:47] karab44: the CONSOLE has a 32K limit to the buffer. [08:48] still can't figure out why I can't get to grub [08:48] karab44: using the framebuffer console lets you increase the buffer.. [08:48] dr_willis_: ok but where to change it? [08:48] kostas: Can you boot into Ubuntu OK? [08:48] karab44: screen, tmux, byobu, or fbterm would also let you have a virtually unlimited buffer [08:48] blazemore: I can't boot into ubuntu at all [08:49] karab44: i posted several urls that had how to get a bigger buffer.. the answer was to use one of those apps. [08:49] kostas: What happens when you try? [08:49] dr_willis_: ok I'll doublecheck that [08:49] Can I use Mozilla Sunbird on Mint 15? It keeps crashing and I have no idea why it does that. [08:49] bazemore: I power the laptop, get the bios screen and then a black screen with a cursor [08:49] !mint | frustrated5623 [08:49] frustrated5623: Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [08:49] karab44: seriously man.. go lern to use tmux, or byobu [08:49] blazemore: I power the laptop, get the bios screen and then a black screen with a cursor [08:50] kostas: Sounds like it's booting (almost) just fine! Can you boot to that point and then hit ctrl+alt+f3? [08:50] karab44: you can even use them while you are ssh'd in via putty [08:50] kostas: Wait, cursor as in mouse cursor? [08:50] But it is based on Ubuntu... [08:50] putty -> ssh -> tmux -> bash [08:50] dr_willis_: I wish to but not now. Just some tools dependency [08:50] frustrated5623: It's not open to negotiation [08:50] karab44: ive not seen you really give a good reason why you are neeind to do this [08:50] blazemore: sorry my mistake, cursor as in the blinking pixel in the terminal [08:50] kostas: Is this a fresh install? [08:51] blazemore: Well, does it work on Ubuntu 13.04, then? [08:51] blazemore: as fresh as it gets [08:51] frustrated5623: I don't know [08:51] karab44: type 'tmux' and poof you got a bash shell with a huge scrollback buffer.. done. [08:51] kostas: Did you check the installation medium for errors before installing? [08:52] Does Ubuntu 13.04 have a functional calendar program? [08:52] Hi everybody [08:52] frustrated5623: It comes with Evolution which has a calendar.

[08:54] what is the diffrent chromium and chrome [08:54] Antar: The thing is, I don't really understand what your question/problem is [08:55] Antar: Chromium is a non-branded version of Chrome built from the open-cource codebase [08:55] honestly i cant really recall noticeing any differance at ALL btween the 2 Antar - i go thtem both installed [08:55] the icons are differnt ;) [08:55] heh [08:55] whene i open the .deb file [08:55] cool_boy: Looks like something is listening on port 9000 there [08:56] it told me that thereis no package called file [08:56] Antar: Did you double-click it? Did it open in software centre? [08:56] I recently bought a new one, and tried to factory reset my windows 7 so I could sell it, but the grub is still installed on the mbr. Now I don't have a repair disk, and I can't download one, is there a way I can fix this? on startup now, it gives me error: no such partition grub rescue> [08:56] Yeah [08:57] blazemore: that is my application but is not accessible from browser [08:57] MrEmerald: If you want to remove Grub you have to install the Windows bootloader over the top of it, which you can do by using the Repair option from a Windows 7 installation DVD.

It worked fine, so unlikely to be an issue of the installation medium [08:59] Okay weird.. my Ubuntu VM randomly decided to pick up a DHCP address and it was static up until now [08:59] blazemore: Ok thanks :) [08:59] there isnt a software package called filein your current software center [08:59] MrEmerald: there used to be legally/free download of the windows restore disks.. #windows sholuld know where. i saw them on the lifehacker blog site once ages ago [09:00] Antar: what?

[10:45] I'm trying to bisect what causes the 2013 macbook airs going foobar after the installed kernel (as they boot up with the one the installer is using) [10:45] Kaloz mount a live cd or usb, so you can browse the iso [10:45] [[thufir]]: are there any bugs reported? [10:45] or boot the live cd and see what kernel its using [10:45] [[thufir]]: could try Saucy in liveCD, see if the newer kernel helps [10:46] MonkeyDust: tried that, but they seem to be the same, hence the question [10:46] newer kernels are actually worse [10:46] the raring release iso boots (has some issues, but those should be fixed upstream) [10:47] the installed kernel only boots with nosmp [10:47] Kaloz: why buy mac hardware then use anything but MacOS? [10:47] newer kernels only boot with nosmp nolapic acpi=off, but that shuts down the notebook in a few mins [10:47] ActionParsnip: haswell [10:47] ActionParsnip: and pcie ssd ;) [10:48] Kaloz: pcie ssd isnt unique [10:48] Kaloz: acer aspire s7 uses haswell, so again.

[10:54] <[[thufir]]> ActionParsnip: no bugs that I know of. you mean in bugzilla for cputemp?

I don't know how but I will know it by then.

[11:09] I get a purple screen followed by a black screen , i tried with no modeset but same result [11:09] so have you yet installed the nvidia drivers? [11:09] neetz: did you update-grub after nomodeset? [11:09] how do I ? if it doesnt boot [11:09] neetz, that GT525 is Optimus? ( dual gpu ) [11:10] you ARE booting.. its just not loading the X drivers correctrly/video drivers [11:10] !text [11:10] To start your system in text-only mode append 'text' (without the quotes) to the kernel line in the grub menu.

[11:10] I dont know is optimus [11:11] what is optimus* [11:11] the dual gpu chipset solution thats common in many laptops [11:11] and yeah for that I need to connect it to internert , but i have a dongle [11:11] lets assume that i have that , then [11:11] I have several usb wifi dongles.. that work out of the box ;) [11:12] 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 settings [11:12] I dont use optimus. dont have any laptops withit. so no experience with it [11:12] :P but how can you connect it to internet through terminal ? is it possible [11:12] how [11:12] IF you can get to text mode and have network working, You might be able to install the nvidia-current package and it may work [11:12] maybe this mage for 12.04lts also works for your situation >> http://askubuntu.com/questions/132112/how-to-install-nvidia-geforce-gt525m-driver-on-ubuntu12-04 [11:12] c/mage/page [11:13] theres cli tools to enable the wifi networking. or run a cable to the router for a few min.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [11:14] what do i do next [11:14] neetz, read the message above [11:14] ok [11:15] cfhowlett, neetz tried that, you missed it because you came in later [11:15] 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 Optimus [11:15] OerHeks, d'oh! [11:15] neetz, sorry. I only just came and didn't know you already saw that [11:15] gforce 525, surely it is optimus [11:16] you need to verify one way or the other that you Have Optimius or not. [11:16] double check the bios and perhaps it may have a option to disable the nvidia or intel card also. [11:17] hey [11:17] I want to boot into a proper gui , so that i can use my dongle and install the drivers [11:17] but i cant even boot from livecd === io is now known as Guest9219 === Guest43228 is now known as Jan1337z [11:19] @dr_wills , there ? [11:19] You did try the nomodeset option at the live cd? how did you install if the live cd is not booting? [11:20] @dr_wills , I am using ubuntu since 1 year , but neva had problem like this , idk what happened suddenly [11:20] neetz: stick to the facts about the current system [11:21] are you saying that Ubuntu USED to work on this machine? or not? [11:21] yes [11:21] so what release DID work? [11:21] and when did it stop working [11:21] 12.10 [11:21] until 5 days [11:21] back [11:22] neetz, try booting an earlier kernel [11:22] and what did you do right befor it stopped working? [11:22] ? [11:22] hi how do i enable compiz's rain effect at startup? [11:22] @cfholett tried that also , still not booting [11:22] !ccsm | Guest9219 [11:22] Guest9219: 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 #compiz [11:23] probably , my win7 must have had a virus i guess [11:23] which damaged the nvidea or the kernel [11:23] neetz, wait, is this a wubi install? [11:23] wubi ? I am sorry , I am a newbie to ubuntu , [11:24] neetz, windows installation of ubuntu also known as wubi. How did you install ubuntu? [11:24] neetz ubuntu has nothing to do with windows, unless you used wubi to install ubuntu inside windows [11:25] I created a seoerate parition for ubuntu and installed [11:25] not on vmvare or virtual box [11:26] MonkeyDust, i have ccsm installed but i've to enable the rain effect manually, i want it starts with the system's startup [11:26] @dr_wills , do you have a solution ? [11:26] Guest9219, compiz rain effects on startup/before login? [11:26] Guest9219 better ask in #compiz, then [11:27] Guest9219, not possible, AFAIK [11:27] @cfhowlett ? [11:27] MonkeyDust, ppl in #compiz r sleeping [11:27] thx [11:28] neetz, so you have a normal dual boot. I guess windows still runs OK then? [11:28] yea that brings me here :) [11:28] neetz: so 12.10 worked.. but now the 12.10 live cd does not work? [11:29] @dr_wills yea because of the nvdia thing i guess [11:30] neetz: but the 12.10 live cd was working when you installed earlier? did you change video cards or somthing? [11:31] no no , no hardware changes , it was working fine [11:31] 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? [11:32] it was not a cd , it was a usb .. u call it livecd only , yea doesnt work now [11:36] ? [11:36] 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 13.04 [11:36] when i disable unity or without rain effect enabled, my window's shadow looks ugly [there is nobdy in #compiz] [11:38] tweak the windows shadows settings/plugin or disable it perhaps? [11:38] @dr_wills , whats the pint ? does 13.04 support nvidiea graphics inbuit [11:38] a lot of the old compiz plugins/eyecandy are slowly becomming obsolete and getting phased out [11:39] neetz: no need to use @ and the nvidia drivers are aviable for all the releases. [11:39] 13.04 works fine with my 3 nvidia systems [11:39] but most of my cards are older nvidia cards [11:39] it was working on mine too before [11:40] 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] that almost points to a hardware faliure. [11:40] but its not conclusive [11:40] Hello, I've setup 'unattended upgrades' and I've also set it to reboot if required. However no reboots are performed. [11:40] do you mean Nvidea has failed ? [11:41] 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-upgrade [11:41] 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 changes [11:42] can i disable my nvidea in bios ? [11:42] salve [11:42] neetz: no idea.. can you? [11:42] i have not tried [11:42] 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 evaluation [11:42] questo è il canale di ubuntu giusto [11:42] !it | itDany83 [11:43] itDany83: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [11:43] Thanks [11:44] 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 required [11:44] foo357_: askubuntu.com may have a more definitive answer however. [11:44] can you tell em your email id , i will contact you for any ubuntu help [11:45] hi [11:46] hello [11:46] @dr wills , can you provide me your email , sorry for using @ again [11:46] neetz: no i will not.

[11:49] i use lilo from ages, i just installed ubuntu today [11:49] simplex: you may wnt to check at askubuntu.com its literlly been years+ (5+?) since ive had to touch lilo [11:49] if you installed ubuntu, then why do you want to keep using lilo? unless theres some Old system on that box. [11:50] i like the lilo slackware logo :) [11:50] grub2 has more themeing features then lilo ever did. [11:50] but it may not be enabled in the grub2 by default.

[13:11] Skizu: Use FileZilla [13:11] xyz123: then 1.1xRAM for swap (assuming more than 2Gb RAM) and the rest for /home [13:11] blazemore: What's FileZilla? [13:11] Skizu: sftp client for windows [13:11] ActionPa1snip: i have created a 50GB / primary partition but keeps failing [13:11] Skizu: It's a file transfer client [13:12] will try to install from cd [13:12] xyz123: you can have / for all folders, not a problem [13:12] rebarbror ubuntu has no "welcome to linux"... is that a cd that was delivered with a magazine or so? [13:12] it's just says welcome [13:12] --- [13:12] blazemore: I've winSCP for that, was wondering if I could do something in ssh so I could make a bash file to do the action [13:12] Skizu: WinSCp will work fine too [13:12] and it's the img file from thier website [13:12] 12.4lts [13:12] from whose? Ubuntu doesn't provide an img file [13:12] 12.04* [13:12] Skizu: sure, you can run: ssh user@server "grep paul /etc/passwd" [13:12] iso file [13:13] rebarbror, ? what site did you get it from?

[13:14] ActionPa1snip: can't figure out why it would keep failing [13:14] xyz123: did you MD5 test the ISO you downloaded? [13:14] ActionPa1snip: how do I download to my local like that? [13:14] Hello [13:14] Hello kjlikj [13:14] kjlikj, greetings [13:14] that's where it hangs, it just shows welcome in the window the rest in just a white square [13:14] Skizu: you can use scp (or winscp in Windows) [13:14] Web fonts is not exists one my browser ? [13:14] rebarbror: Are you able to take a picture...? [13:14] rebarbror, ok. hey did you md5sum check the iso? [13:15] kjlikj: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [13:15] ActionPa1snip: kind of a silly question why do i need to md5sum the iso? [13:15] ActionPa1snip: So there isn't a way I can use putty to put stuff on my pc? [13:15] xyz123: so you know that it is complete and consistant [13:15] Skizu: Putty isn't a file transfer client, so no [13:15] ActionPalsnip, apparently I gotta do that from the installer? [13:15] 11.10 [13:15] I just used a program called rufus to make my usb stick bootable [13:15] 11.10 isn't supported any more, kjlikj [13:15] blazemore: Ok thanks =] [13:16] yeah sure, I can take a picture [13:16] heh [13:16] ActionPa1snip: the cd installs if i partition using guided.... wouldn't that be enough to confirm that it is complete? [13:16] Skizu: putty isnt for file copying, you can connect to the same service on the same server using filezilla and manouvre files [13:16] rebarbror: Wait [13:16] rebarbror, which doesn't answer the question. did you md5sum check? [13:16] rebarbror: Firstly, check the md5sum of the iso you downloaded [13:16] xyz123: no as files used to install the OS may be damaged [13:16] !md5sum|rebarbror, [13:16] i am talking about the fonts not about my ubuntu version [13:16] rebarbror,: To verify your Ubuntu ISO image (or other files for which an MD5 checksum is provided), see http://help.ubuntu.com/community/HowToMD5SUM or http://www.linuxquestions.org/linux/answers/LQ_ISO/Checking_the_md5sum_in_Windows [13:16] !eol | kjlikj [13:16] kjlikj: 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.

[13:18] kjlikj: Yes, it says in the /topic [13:18] kjlikj, choose one. 12.04 is long term support. 13.04 is not. [13:18] kjlikj: yes, 12.04, 12.10 and 13.04 are supporte [13:18] 13.04 is not out yet ?

[13:57] Depends how many of the repositories you want to mirror [13:58] i just amd64 [13:58] want [13:58] Just the main, security, and updates repository for a single architecture is about 70GiB [13:58] If you also want universe and multiverse, it will be a LOT more [13:58] what does universe have that main doesnt have?

[14:08] is there groups of software you can install like all development software for example [14:08] anton02: Look at "tasksel" application [14:08] i only have access to a mirror that doesn't have debian-cd [14:08] anton02: Okitain's suggestion of downloading the Debian DVDs for safe-keeping isn't a bad idea, but I'm ending this discussion and asking you to continue it with the folks in #debian [14:09] Can we please move the debian discussion to #debian? [14:09] blazemore: thanks :) [14:09] Hi 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] anton02: And if you PM me the URL of any files you need I can mirror them for you temporarily on a very fast server [14:09] Peanut: You probably don't need much/any swap with that much RAM [14:10] Peanut: Repeated writes to an SSD lower its life-span, so anything which minimises writes to an SSD will increase its life-span [14:10] Peanut: It is not a big issue. [14:10] blazemore: thanks [14:10] Peanut: swap wears out SSDs, you could get a small HDD or even a USB stick as swap, save your internal SSDs [14:10] However Peanut in real life you'll likely replace those SSDs before they fail [14:10] I hope the machine won't ever swap, as long as I don't overcommit the ram. [14:10] Peanut: 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] I would *hope* Linux pre-emptively copies pages to the swap file... [14:10] Peanut: depends on the activities and settings on the guests [14:11] Peanut: My advice for you is to make a small (4GiB) swap partition, which probably won't ever get used [14:11] Peanut: Your SSDs aren't going to catch fire [14:11] The machine got a bit more memory than I intended, because of a too-good-to-resist offer from the vendor *grin* [14:11] Peanut: i'd make a tempfs storage and have all temps and so forth use that, rather than the SSDs [14:12] Peanut: RAM is cheap [14:12] ActionPa1snip: 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] i've already killed 2 SSD... so i don't swap to SSD any more [14:12] kuhno: ouch.. [14:12] ActionPa1snip: tempfs storage? [14:12] but at least i pay the same money each time and get double capacity :) [14:13] Also, on 13.04, do I need to add anything to fstab to activate trim? [14:13] i even told my windows to swap to the ramdisk because it didn't boot without swap file... [14:14] Peanut: 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.html [14:14] hey can i get some help with something? [14:14] !ask | Drewroo [14:14] Drewroo: 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).

[14:17] Drewroo: does installing a random program, say, nano, work? [14:17] Bjond: See, ubottu doesn't even know about tmpfs [14:18] Okitain: nano ships with Ubuntu, that was a poor example. Let me see his error first [14:18] usr13: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tmpfs [14:18] usr13: you'd be writing temp rubbish to the RAM instead of to the SSD [14:18] i just installed xchat [14:18] and am using it [14:18] Okitain: What do you mean by random program?

Version 1:0.9911-1 (raring), package size 1691 kB, installed size 6035 kB [14:19] usr13: if you can reduce the writes to slow HDDs and keep data in RAM as much as possible the OS will run faster [14:19] Drewroo: if you open your Software Sources options program, can you make sure the "universe" repository is ticked? [14:19] would it be useful to know im using the 64bit ubuntu? [14:19] Drewroo: Usually yes, but in this case I know the problem [14:20] not sure if this is the right place but I'm currently on 13.04 and on gedit the options file, edit, etc are not there. I'm guessing it might be some security thing kind of like su password being disabled by default. [14:20] Drewroo: uname -m x86_64 = 64bit i686 = 32bit [14:21] Achillesiv: move your mouse to the top panel [14:21] Achillesiv: there is no 'su password', its not a thing [14:21] tried that, but it didn [14:21] ActionPa1snip: True. But again, if you have plenty of RAM, swap is not used that much and what is loaded into RAM just stays there and is used as needed. So, theoretically, it doesn't make a lot of difference. Right? [14:21] did not work [14:22] blazemore: im kind of a noob with ubuntu where is this software sources program?

[15:28] when I tried mounting a remote nfs filesystems I can't create files on the local mount, it keep stating "Read-only file system" [15:28] When I check the parameters of the mount it shows as rw, any ideas? [15:29] Anyone here use ARM Ubuntu? [15:29] Tomy2938: Can you create files in that folder on the remote machine? [15:29] blazemore: I also tried to reinstall mysql-server-5.5 using the software center and it says that "Package dependencies cannot be resolved" [15:29] blazemore, checking that [15:29] MasterProgram: Can you please pastebin the output of "sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.5" [15:31] blazemore, I was able to create and delete files in the source system [15:31] The seocnd system where I am mounting it is not able to write to it [15:32] I am using the following options in the NFS server exportfs 10.0.0.0/16(rw,sync,no_root_squash) [15:33] blazemore: I tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall mysql-server-5.5 and pasted the resulting output to the gist mentioned earlier, https://gist.github.com/MasterProgram/e1b7e4132e58cf558e63 [15:33] When I try mounting it on the second system I am mounting it as the following "mount -t nfs it5:/shares/webteamnfs -o auto,rsize=8192,wsize=8192,rw /nfsmounts/webteamnfs" [15:33] I am not sure why this isn'r working [15:33] It seems like it may be impossible for me to make a 'metapackage' that dicatates the exact versions of a few other packages I want installed on a system, and have that able to force downgrades? [15:34] Ie … Package 'meta 1.0 ' requiring 'nginx (= 1.2)', but 'meta 1.1' requiring 'nginx (= 1.3)'.. the install of meta 1.1 works, but t he install of meta1.0 fails if ive already got nginx 1.3.. [15:34] What could be causing this issue? [15:34] I'm trying to get 8021q support going, but modprobe is throwing a hissy fit.. I get "libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod.c:554 kmod_search_moddep: could not open moddep file '/lib/modules/2.6.32-20-pve/modules.dep.bin'" as an error. Thoughts? [15:34] Is that right? [15:34] geudrik: What's the output of "file /lib/modules/2.6.32-20-pve/modules.dep.bin" [15:35] blazemore: The file doesnt exist, hence my question. I installed the vlan package [15:35] For Ubuntu Server: is eBox still a thing? Does it have a homepage? Has it become "zentyal.org" somehow? [15:36] I am new and just came across some documentation about eBox but can't find any info for it on the web, other than community Ubuntu help [15:36] leo-the-manic: What is eBox?

[15:37] macondo: Is this for a serial terminal device connected over USB? [15:37] blazemore: did you get a chance to check my gist yet? [15:38] MasterProgram: Sorry I missed it earlier. "sudo apt-get -f install" and gist any errors please :) [15:38] blazemore: no, it's a usb device (specifically HP calculator) [15:38] macondo: What are you asking then? What's a ttyUSB port? [15:39] blazemore: I have an application (HP Talx 1.3.1) which is asking for a ttyUSB port to connect to the calculator [15:39] and I'm not sure what to set it to [15:39] macondo: Are there options for it, or is it just asking for an input? [15:40] blazemore: default is 0, but can be set to 1, 2, ... [15:40] I'm assuming that the -f in the command tells the computer to fix all broken packages and the output didn't display any errors and/or fixes need? [15:40] macondo: Try them all :P [15:40] MasterProgram: Something like that. Pastebin the output and let me decide :) [15:40] How can I mount this remote NFS mont to be RW on the second system? [15:41] !nfs | Tomy2938 I'm assuming you've read this [15:41] Tomy2938 I'm assuming you've read this: nfs is the network file system.

[17:11] thinking I'd use rsync [17:11] dougbb: I had that issue a couple of days ago, I tried waiting a couple of days with no change, in the end, I updated via terminal so that I could at least see what the updates were, since then its been fine [17:12] moondog, 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 backups [17:12] DJones: do you have the 'update via terminal' commands handy? I am familiar with the command line, but still learning debian/ubunty [17:13] err, ubuntu as well :) [17:13] dougbb: right, permissions would be messed up if it's NTFS. I guess it would depend on if I need to read the data in Windows. [17:13] dougbb: sudo apt-get upate and then sudo apt-get upgrade [17:13] "apt-date update", not "upate" :) [17:13] moondog, exactly .... although there is a decent read-only ext driver for windows, only works up to ext3 though IIRC [17:13] dougbb: sudo apt-get update and then sudo apt-get upgrade [17:13] b636bc7ca: Good spot [17:13] DJones: and b636bc7ca, thanks :) [17:14] dougbb: thanks for the info :) [17:16] moondog: http://www.ext2fsd.com/ [17:16] OerHeks, I am not trying to move a window, just resize by grabbing borders or corners [17:16] thanks, I'll take a look [17:17] I've used that for read-only, but I don't mount the systems regularly, and although they support writing it's not like "robust windows file system" type of write support, FYI [17:17] intrader ALT + press scrollwheel does it instantly [17:18] so is anyone else seeing this weird problem with software updater? I know they pushed an update to it recently, is there a bug that is being worked on which is well known, or should I go peruse launchpad? [17:19] OerHeks, I am sorry, I have no wheel (it is lenovo laptop). Thanks for your help [17:20] hello 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] OerHeks, ... it grabs the border to resize? [17:21] intrader yes, just hang on the window, and you grab it like the corner. [17:21] intrader mayby both touchpad keys work as 3th mousekey ? [17:24] OerHeks, when the mouse approaches the border or corner, it fleetingly changes but the action disappears quickly. [17:25] OerHeks, since 11.04 ( I am running 12.04) all sort of stuff is weird with Unity. Last time it worked Ok was with 10.4 [17:26] tapFizzle: the first character is the desired status, the second is the actual package status [17:27] when i am installing scponly it says it is not installable ? why is that so ? how can i install that package ? [17:29] intrader ohh awesome, ALT + F8 does the same [17:29] ffio: Is that meant to be 'scponly' os 'scp' [17:29] DJones: scponly [17:29] intrader, hold the windows key for more help on keys [17:29] !find scponly [17:29] File scponly found in logcheck-database, openvas-plugins-dfsg [17:30] ffio: it was deleted because of http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=650590 [17:30] Debian bug 650590 in ftp.debian.org "RM: scponly -- RoQA; RC buggy, unmaintained, replacement exists" [Important,Open] [17:30] OerHeks, I don't think I have described the problem properly. Sorry. === Jan1337z is now known as jan1337zZz [17:30] trism: ok :) is their any replacement to that package ? [17:31] intrader i understand you want to resize by the corner, and the sensitivity is too high? [17:32] OerHeks, yes, but doing it is just about impossible as to catch the border or corner is very difficult [17:33] OerHeks, what sensitivity setting? [17:33] intrader, so with ALT + F8 you grab the window in resize mode, where ever you hold your mouse on the window [17:34] intrader, i cannot find sensitive settings for those corners. [17:36] ffio: 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) [17:37] ffio: oh seems there is also a debian admin article linked in the bug: http://www.debian-administration.org/articles/590 [17:37] OerHeks, 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 corners [17:37] trism: that was a hell lot of info :D [17:39] OerHeks, Alt + F8 will do, thanks [17:39] intrader, have fun :-) [17:40] trism: thank you so much :) [17:41] OerHeks, Unity s... Terryble, this was just one of the problems - the top menus bar action is strange. [17:41] Running lubuntu 12.04, I can't login to my system. When I enter my password on the login screen and click 'login', it flashes a couple black screens with text, then goes back to the login screen. I know the password is correct because I /can/ login through ctrl+alt+f1. I'm also able to log into the guest session just fine. [17:42] Is there any difference between 'aptititude install x' and 'apt-get install x'? [17:42] Or do they do the exact same thing? [17:42] SierraAR: 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 again [17:43] !aptitude | leo-the-manic [17:43] leo-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. [17:44] holstein: Just tried that, still having the same issue [17:45] SierraAR: i dont think you moved what is broken then... what *exactly* did you try? [17:46] Can anyone see what info is displayed of me? [17:46] hdhdhd: i see what you just typed, if thats what you are asking [17:46] holstein: 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. === dziegler is now known as dziegler_off [17:47] SierraAR: i would move the *entire* .config .. then, i would move more or all .hidden config files to "fix" the misconfiguration [17:51] hi [17:51] holstein: Renamed .config to .config.backup and rebooted, but I'm still having the same issue. It didn't generate a new .config either. [17:52] holstein: 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 that [17:53] SierraAR: 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 broken [17:53] SierraAR: you can always remove *everything* from your user /home, and test.. and put back what you want === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [17:55] !rootirc | hdhdhd [17:55] hdhdhd: It's not technically our business, but we'd like to tell you that IRC'ing as root is a Very Bad Idea (tm). After all, doing anything as root when root is not needed is bad, and especially bad with software that connects to the Internet. [17:56] hmm. my linux box seems to have locked up. [17:56] hmm. my linux box seems to have locked up/ [17:56] Anyone know how to get it back without rebooting? [17:56] hello, my monitor is not working in ubuntu. It says unknow under the desiplay settings. I have video drivers. Anyone know what to do? [17:56] (sorry, the keyboard on the machine I'm using is strangely laid out) [17:57] Hello [17:57] holstein: I am able to log into the guest session. I've also created a new user and was able to log into that without an isse. [17:58] i have created a virtual ubuntu machine and when i do scp to that machine it says connetion refused port 22 [17:58] i have installed ssh [17:58] holstein: I'm going to see what moving everything in the broken users homedir does. [17:58] You know the "username@hostname:~$" prompt? How do I change these two names? [17:58] OerHeks, thanks for hanging in there for me [17:58] cppCzar: in .bashrc [17:58] SierraAR: then, the issue, friend, is with the /home of the user.. go ahead and remove *all* the data in the user home.. move it to a different location, and try logging in.. put back what you need/want [17:59] hello, my monitor is not working in ubuntu. It says unknow under the desiplay settings. I have video drivers. Anyone know what to do? [17:59] holstein: Just tried that, still the same issue. I completely moved /home/sierra to /home/sierra.backup [17:59] SierraAR: then, enjoy using the new user account you created [17:59] ffio_: 'openssh-server' ? [18:00] ^ is installed? [18:00] holstein: Is there a way to remove the other user without deleting its homedir, then create a new user that has the same perms and homedir as the old one? [18:00] I don't see anythin in .bashrc related to this [18:00] daftykins: openssh-server is installed [18:01] SierraAR: im sure there are lots of ways to migrate to a new user [18:01] daftykins: might be it be something related to virtualbox ? [18:01] Do you use a virtual machine for UBUNTU? [18:01] ok i have an issue with xubuntu 13.04. it halts on boot at "checking battery state". After that, i cnt alt f1 and use xinit and xfce4-session. im seeing issues with glib also. not sure if thats causing it.

I did not find anything in .bashrc [18:09] cppCzar: there is a user account GUI [18:10] Correct, however I somehow managed to change the name of my account [18:10] while the prompt still uses a different name [18:11] cppCzar: change the PS1 variable [18:11] i.e. My account name is "cppCzar" but on the prompt it shows up as "cppnoob@random:~$" [18:11] echo $PS1 [18:11] cppCzar: you can change it by modifying PS1 variable.

[19:21] Agamemnus: Boot from the iso again into a live environment. Use the Gparted partitioning tool to expand your Ubuntu partition to fill the available space [19:22] what a mess [19:22] Not really it's very quick [19:22] I could have done it by now [19:22] i need to dl gparted [19:22] No you don't [19:23] DO you still have your Ubuntu iso you installed from? [19:23] good think i found this [19:23] https://forums.virtualbox.org/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=46814 [19:23] i'm using Oracle VM [19:23] and ... the iso is of an old version anyway [19:23] hi [19:23] Doesn't matter [19:23] did someone know why when i install dedicated driver nvidia, driver didnt recognize my monitor? [19:23] Agamemnus: The version doesn't matter, they all have gparted on them :) [19:23] Agamemnus: It's super quick, trust me [19:24] ok i added the cd in [19:24] now what? [19:25] Well, do you remember when you installed it? [19:25] a year ago [19:25] Is it an iso you have, or a real CD? [19:25] it's telling me i should try ubuntu or install it now [19:25] i don't think this is right [19:25] iso [19:26] Agamemnus, sudo apt-get install gparted [19:26] cantoma: You can't live-expand the partition [19:26] i don't have any memory left [19:26] did someone know why when i install dedicated driver nvidia, driver didnt recognize my monitor?

[19:28] sinkensabe: Look in the settings of the terminal for keyboard shortcuts [19:29] blazemore, i was just wondering if it allows to modify the partition while mounted .. i guess it is a nice feature to add .. or at least it should do it in reboot mode [19:29] blazemore: I have, but cant find settings for ctrl-s [19:29] anyway, i'm in gparted [19:29] Agamemnus: OK so do you see your Ubuntu partition? [19:29] is there a .conf file for the terminal ? [19:29] sinkensabe: What does ctrl-s do? [19:29] unfortunately i can't resize it [19:30] there was sda1 4 gigs [19:30] sda5 1 gig [19:30] Agamemnus: Why not? Is there any free space to the right? [19:30] unallocated 1 gig [19:30] Agamemnus: Can you post a screenshot? [19:30] maximum space of sda1 = 4 gigs [19:30] Agamemnus, use http://imagebin.org/ [19:31] Agamemnus, if you cant do it from the livecd use your smartphone [19:31] resolve.conf is showing 127.0.1.1 as my nameserver, but my DHCP server is sending something else. Why is resolve.conf not have what the DHCP server is sending? [19:31] blazemore: it stops the terminal basically, ctrl-q will resume the session. The reasoon I need to do it is to map ctrl-s for save in Vim [19:32] http://imagebin.org/267838 [19:32] sinkensabe: Seems like the shell is grabbing that ctrl-s not your terminal emulator. You should be OK to map it for save in vim, have you tried it? [19:32] i deleted sda5 [19:33] lol Agamemnus move that window! it's in the way of what I need to see [19:33] blazemore: yeah I did but did not work, I just assumed that was the problem. I will try to see if it can be somethings else then. cheers [19:33] sinkensabe: I may be wrong, so don't disregard any others' advice on the assumption that mine is correct [19:33] http://imagebin.org/267839 [19:34] Agamemnus: Delete /dev/sda2 the extended partition [19:34] rsyring, do not edit resolve.conf, see this answer and howto on http://askubuntu.com/a/221955 [19:34] maybe i need to change the file system === basant is now known as karpuragauram [19:34] Agamemnus: No you need to delete that empty extended partition [19:34] Agamemnus: Then you can resize it into the space - but you will have no swap so watch out [19:34] insane [19:35] don't need [19:35] thanks [19:35] OerHeks: well...thats the opposite of what I want. I actually want resolve.conf to reflect the nameserver DHCP is returning. [19:35] what ubuntu fits on a cd [19:35] No problem [19:35] blazemore: Yeah true, I did find out how to disable it temporarily and it did not work anyway so the problem is somewhere else [19:35] OerHeks: I could override, but why not just take it form DHCP? [19:35] Agamemnus, only 6GB :o [19:35] Agamemnus, my smartphone has more than that [19:35] rsyring, it will get updated with the correct numbers, when you follow the right steps [19:36] pvl1: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS (Precice Pangolin) has installation images which fit on a standard CD-R http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ [19:36] i'm running it on my SSD [19:36] OerHeks: I don't want to hard-code the DNS server in /etc/network/interfaces...I want DHCP to set it [19:36] which I recently upgraded [19:36] but still [19:36] 256 gigs [19:36] OerHeks: If I follow the answer you gave, i'm just hardcoding it [19:36] so are there any good ubuntu tools for testking diskIO that dont take.. several hours to run ? [19:36] Agamemnus, have you delete second partition? [19:37] yeah [19:37] hey gparted isn't allowing me to resize my hard drive by adding unallocated memory to it... any way around this [19:37] Left_Turn: Can you take a screenshot of your gparted? [19:37] we just talked about this! [19:37] hehe [19:37] Agamemnus: You get that a lot in here [19:37] 1 sec blazemore [19:38] you can only reallocate the second one, see [19:38] Agamemnus: You get to answer the same question twice in a row, and the second time is always way easier. I call it carrying [19:38] i see [19:38] thanks :-) [19:38] blazemore at this moment it won't be the correct shot as my drive is mounted.. i would have to get offline etc etc.. want me to do that?

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? [20:43] \u03b5: Set the clock of the host correctly. [20:43] <\u03b5> I still have access to the server though a hypervisor-provided tty-like access [20:43] <\u03b5> bekks: I do not have that kind of access [20:43] \u03b5: Then you have to ask your administrator to do so. [20:45] <\u03b5> will this glitch not happen if the time is off by a smaller delta? [20:45] Jordan_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 it [20:46] \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. [20:47] <\u03b5> you think this is intended? [20:47] <\u03b5> Xen is the hypervisor, although I do not know how it is configured === bschaefer_ is now known as bschaefer [20:50] pvl1: GRUB_DEFAULT.

[21:00] matthias_: I've done something similar myself but I used python.. bash might present... different challenges [21:00] matthias_: sure [21:01] Slart: here is the site. it's timetable for my school and i hate it typing everytime the login... https://klio.webuntis.com/WebUntis/?school=graf-stauffenb [21:02] Slart: i've found out that the password is in j_password and the username is in j_username [21:02] Hi can I get some help on here for connecting to a mac desktop from ubuntu? [21:02] hi there, with ubuntu server 13.04, is there a way to select what packages will be installed (booting up the iso in vmware)? [21:02] matthias_: mm.. I'm looking at the source code at the moment [21:02] Romz: do expert installation [21:03] Romz, you can if you install the server version, and then add a desktop if required === hydrant is now known as halyard [21:03] Slart: i've tested a few examples and nothing worked [21:03] hi, has anyone else been having trouble with chromium/google-chrome not loading pageS? [21:04] matthias_: right on, yesterday i tried with the desktop version but i didn't see any option for expert mode or so, i was wondering if it was the same with the server version or if i completely missed it on the desktop one [21:04] I will nav to a URL, and the page will come up white [21:04] I can connect to the Mac using a few VNC clients. However I see some sort of startup screen which I appear to have no control over. [21:04] if I open up dev tools though, it finishes loading [21:05] matthias_: it's using some kind of ajax form to do the actual login [21:05] Romz: sry i tought of debian installation sry [21:05] Slart: so is it possible to login via bash/python script? [21:05] BillyBag2: i imagine the vnc desktop would be controlled by the vncserver on the mac end. not the ubuntu client [21:06] matthias_: everything is possible.. it's just a matter of more or less work =) [21:06] BillyBag2: you should check the docs/support for whatever vnc server you are using on the mac. [21:07] Slart: the problem is you can download the timetable as a .isc file and i wrote a programm that automaticly parses the .isc file and makes a nice better .pdf file. the parser works fine but now i want to make the file donwload automaticly [21:07] Slart: You know what i mean?

I'm just wondering if it might be worth the trouble to decipher the code from the webpage.. or if it might be easier to just script the browser to do the work [21:10] matthias_: what browser do you use? [21:10] Slart: later i want to run it on an vServer with no graphical user interface. would the browser scripting be possible? [21:10] i use firefox, but as said i want to run it on the vserver [21:11] Slart: use firefox, but as said i want to run it on the vserver [21:11] Hi, I did something silly to my server today. Instead of fixing the permission on /etc/ I set it to 744. Now a lot of stuff stopped working. Su and sudo don't work, and logging in as root also doesn't work. So I plugged the harddisk into my desktop computer. I can mount the data partition but not the system partition. Any ideas or advice? [21:11] matthias_: let's see if we can get firefox to do the login thing for us.. you might get away with running firefox in some kind of non-gui way.. [21:12] Slart: ok if it is possible. [21:13] ulrichard: How are you trying to mount the partition and what happens when you try? [21:13] matthias_: do you have some time? this will not be done in a minute or two.. [21:13] <\u03b5> Well scratch that, the network goes down regardless of if ntpd is running or not [21:13] Slart: yes 30-45min is that enough? [21:14] matthias_: perhaps.. if we're lucky =) [21:15] Slart: maybe we can switch the channel? #curl_login [21:16] hi [21:16] <\u03b5> syslog and dmesg fail to provide any relevant info, anything else to check before escalating? [21:17] Jordan_U: parted lists the boot partition as ext2 and the data partition as ext4. Appart from that it lists an extended and a logical partition. I wonder if the ext dir is contained in initrd.img-3.8.0-27-generic of the boot partition, which has a change date of about when I did the modification. [21:17] ulrichard: are you using encryption? [21:18] ulrichard: and what happens when you try to mount the data partition? [21:18] Histo..let me see ur anus bitch [21:18] the boot and data partition mount just fine, but they don't contain what I'm looking for. [21:19] Ulrichard mount using ro option nugger [21:19] ulrichard: You answered neither of my questions.

[21:24] ulrichard: That's because it's an LVM physical volume. [21:24] dm-mod is not loaded. What is it? [21:24] ulrichard: it's needed for mounting lvm [21:25] regarding my question to do a custom install of ubuntu server 13.04, i found my answer here http://superuser.com/questions/495295/is-there-any-way-to-customize-vmwares-easy-install-of-ubuntu [21:25] ulrichard:sudo apt-get install lvm2 && sudo modprobe dm-mod [21:26] ulrichard: sudo pvscan && sudo vgscan && vgchange -a y && sudo blkid [21:26] how do I get a static version of mysql?

[21:31] wootehfoot: there is no reason to do be doing that [21:31] daftykins, The boot menu comes up and doesn't display any old kernels. [21:31] like idm [21:32] anayou: what is idm? [21:32] Deformative: odd, do you manually remove them after upgrades? [21:32] daftykins, i know all the implications of doing it, how do I do it [21:32] daftykins, No. [21:32] internet download manger [21:32] Deformative: They're in the "Advanced Options" submenu. [21:32] anayou: I would go to alaternativeto.net and search for linux alternatives or search the software center. [21:32] Jordan_U, I went here and there was only one kernel listed twice. One of the listings said (recovery mode) but it had the same panic. [21:33] i think i need the static version of mysql 4.1. [21:33] but i can't figure out how to install it. [21:33] (client) [21:33] no in softwaer center [21:33] Rephrase: How do I force the display refresh rate to something higher than 60Hz? [21:33] wootehfoot: What is your end goal? [21:33] jordan, it's a uni experiment [21:34] wootehfoot: which video card? [21:34] hd4000 [21:34] will xset be enough for this, or are there more issues [21:34] bit the wine softwaer is get the windows xp in ubuntu [21:34] wootehfoot: I don't know why you would want to but you could define a new mode with xrandr and break your stuff [21:34] anayou: .exe files are Windows executable files. You can't run/install them in linux. Some Windows software works under the program called WINE, but usually badly. [21:35] histo, thanks will try that nopw [21:35] anayou: yes but why would you want to use that particular program when there are open source alternatives [21:35] sudo and everything else works again on the server.

See http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1613132 on how to use this parameter [21:37] \I'm having trouble with dconf, I copied .config/dconf/user from one user to another, but gsettings is still showing different settings, is there some command I need to run? [21:38] I have used nomodeset in the past, but this will not show a menu upon holding shift [21:38] arthurdent: .cache/dconf? [21:39] Pinkamen1_D: fsck? hard disk SMART data? [21:41] fsck shows "0.1% non-contiguous, but other then that it does not show any "errors" [21:41] Pinkamen1_D: have you chroot'd in and had a poke around? [21:41] Pinkamen1_D: fsck -f forces an fsck, while fsck just examines the superblock. [21:41] guys can i recover my files in sd card after formatting [21:42] daftykins, Jordan_U, are you still there? [21:42] yep, still haunting the place [21:42] Deformative: also, 300 node cluster? you're kidding right? [21:42] No. [21:42] ?

[21:44] anyone know why gparted won't let me resize my drive to merge with an unallocated one? [21:44] guys can i recover my files in sd card after formatting [21:44] daftykins, I manage a cluster at my university and I put ubuntu on it because I was stupid enough to think it would be relatively stable. [21:44] anayou: depends if it was a full format or not [21:44] anayou: How did you "format" the card? [21:44] So now all the users are bitching because the thing is down. [21:45] Deformative: picking an LTS release would probably have been a good move, but i appreciate hindsight is not helpful now so i shall hush and let Jordan_U help [21:45] i format my sd card with phone [21:45] is there a way to set a shortcut to my paths.. variables don't work [21:45] daftykins, Isn't 13.04 an LTS? [21:45] Deformative: no, dead in January [21:46] daftykins, Fuck. I thought that all the .04 were LTS. [21:46] full format [21:46] Deformative: sadly this one broke with that tradition :( [21:46] Deformative: Please keep the foul language down, supposed to be a family-friendly channel [21:47] I think I can see the problem with fdisk, though I have no idea how it could have happened [21:47] Deformative: Every second .04 is LTS [21:47] histo, thanks, generated a few modelines and tested 75 and 85Hz, doesn't work at 1920x1080 due to bandwidth issues - works good otherwise - cable clk is 250Mhz+ at 85Hz [21:48] the main hard drive has three partitions, the main one looks fine, but the two others seem to be on the same end block and almost the same start block according to fdisk [21:48] genii: Deformative: So far. The way to be sure that a version is LTS is that it has "LTS" at the end of the version. [21:48] anayou: try some data recovery programs for FAT, unfortunately i don't know any. if it was a full format on the phone that wrote over the whole card, it'll be toast - but you might as well try [21:48] Jordan_U, Sigh. Ok. Let me login from my laptop so I can walk down to the pool room and put in a livecd. [21:48] Brb. [21:48] Deformative: what prevents you from booting a liveCD/USB/etc ? [21:48] daftykins, Nothing, I was asking if that is what I needed to do. [21:48] So now I am on my way to the cluster room. [21:49] anayou: You can try to recover some files with photorec, but I wouldn't hold out too much hope. [21:49] any command line tool which could fix these overlapping partitions?

[21:53] i am sure this is due to some misunderstanding i have about dconf/gconf [21:54] hey guys, what would you suggest for a GUI to configure/manage apache on ubuntu?

[22:00] Let's go with personal reasons [22:00] Not security. [22:00] I've already marked it as hidden [22:00] doesn't want xer SO to know xe also uses windows [22:00] And no automount [22:01] cheshirelulcat: how much do you care about being able to access your NTFS partition easily? you can hide it with gparted [22:01] Not much. [22:01] cheshirelulcat: unless you explain the circumstance it makes no sense to me [22:01] Just... [22:01] just hide it with gparted then. you'll have to unhide it in order to boot into it from grub or whatever [22:01] Just don't worry about the circumstances. [22:02] No problem [22:02] I did hide it with Gparted, still shows up on fdisk [22:02] just right click the drive in gparted > manage flags > [x] hidden [22:02] maybe you need to reboot? idk [22:02] Already have [22:02] Would removing the boot flag do it? [22:02] hideing a partion hides it from fdisk? makes me wonder how fdisk would unhide it then. [22:03] cheshirelulcat: No. We can't help you unless you actually explain your end goal. [22:03] I don't know that it does for a fact, I guess I just assumed. [22:03] Yeah, here's my end goal. [22:03] If I type in fdisk -l [22:03] sda1 doesn't show up. [22:03] That's it. [22:03] not going to happen [22:03] cheshirelulcat: disable it in the bios. [22:03] cheshirelulcat: Delete the partition then. [22:03] Aw god [22:03] No other way? [22:03] buy a portable harddrive and a safe [22:04] why would you think theres some other way? the PC is reporting the drives its seeing [22:04] actually the BIOS is reporting it. [22:04] Can I change the partition id? [22:04] cheshirelulcat: Also, not having something show up in fdisk -l doesn't really sound like an end goal to me. [22:04] That's an end goal for me. [22:04] write a bash script that overrides fdisk and doesn't print lines containing sda1 [22:04] :\ [22:04] cheshirelulcat: change it to what? you can change the filesystem. but whats the point [22:04] I was thinking changing the partition id [22:04] it's what we call a fools errand. [22:04] cheshirelulcat: Why do you not want the partition to show up in fdisk -l? Does the output look prettier without it? [22:04] i think you've even come in here and asked this before [22:04] because i remember this lunacy [22:05] I haven't been here befory. [22:05] *Before. [22:05] totally had this question asked before :) [22:05] if you dont want normal user level people mounting the thing. theres ways to do that. [22:05] Yeah, it requires a root to activate [22:05] I know that. [22:05] Like, when I have an fdisk -l output [22:05] And it says NTFS [22:05] Can I modify the id in order for it to report ext3? [22:06] Or not report it at all? [22:06] cheshirelulcat: guess you could in gparted, or fdisk. and also you may accidently delete all your data [22:06] well shit [22:06] so I am using fixparts because my server stopped booting [22:06] !language [22:06] Please watch your language and topic to help keep this channel family-friendly, polite, and professional. [22:06] Sorry. [22:06] >.> [22:06] cheshirelulcat: rename the fdisk binary to "fdisk.real" and in its place make a script containing "fdisk.real $@ | grep -v sda1". [22:06] I did not actually give it any commands other then viewing the partitions [22:07] Jordan_U: going to point out that parted, and cfdisk, can also see it. ;) [22:07] thing is who with any brain isn't going to spot #1 missing? you'd have to at least masquerade it as another Linux one instead of NTFS. [22:07] Yeah [22:07] when I ask to save and exit, it says "THIS WILL OVERWRITE EXISTING PARTITIONS". This sounds kind of iffy, I dont want data baing lost [22:07] Dr_Willis: cheshirelulcat's end goal was just to have it not show up in fdisk -l. [22:08] I've got 2, 3, and 4 missing right now [22:08] has anyone actually used fixpart? [22:08] No idea why, let's just leave it at that [22:08] cheshirelulcat: http://pastie.org/private/vjkxctinfe7ayhaj4flw [22:08] Pinkamen1_D: You should always have backups of important data. [22:08] data worth keeping.. is data worth backing up. [22:09] bbl. [22:09] does anyone know how i can download the static version of mysql 4.1? [22:09] I'll try it out, see if it works. [22:09] you'll have to re-source your profile or log out and back in [22:09] well its not the data I am worried about, its all of the configuration I have done to get it to work how i like [22:09] "source /etc/profile" [22:09] Agamemnus: That version is pretty old. And why do you need a static version? [22:10] arthurdent: You'd need to use the absolute path, /usr/sbin/fdisk, in your script then (otherwise you'll get an infinite loop). [22:10] Jordan_U: derp [22:10] cheshirelulcat: change 'fdisk -l' to '/usr/bin/fdisk "$@"' in that script [22:10] er no quotes around the $@ actually [22:11] arthurdent: Quotes are correct in that case, $@ is a special variable. [22:11] Jordan_U: are you sure? you don't want all the flags to be in one token [22:12] bekks: because everything else crashes. [22:12] Agamemnus: Then you should fix the cause of those crashes. [22:12] bekks: it is mysql. [22:12] Agamemnus: I strongly doubt that. [22:13] arthurdent: http://mywiki.wooledge.org/BashPitfalls#for_arg_in_.24.2A [22:13] it crashes when I run mysql_init. [22:13] ok [22:13] Agamemnus: What exactly happens? [22:13] Jordan_U: weird [22:13] Arthur, I don't have an fdbin dir [22:13] Ought I make one? [22:14] yes [22:14] What do I place in PATH [22:14] http://pastie.org/8243538 i updated the script the way it should be [22:14] one moment [22:14] cheshirelulcat: just add that line somewhere in /etc/profile [22:14] then do "source /etc/profile" [22:14] aight [22:15] arthurdent: It makes sense, otherwise there would be no way to pass on parameters when a script is called like this: myscript "argument one" "argument two" 3 four "High five!" [22:15] abnormal termination signal. [22:16] oh no! [22:16] before the fi? [22:16] cheshirelulcat: at the very top or very bottom [22:16] bekks: abnormal termination signal. [22:16] Agamemnus: then pastebin "strace mysql_init" - beware, it will cause a lot of output. [22:16] i'm not sure how i'm supposed to do that. [22:17] mysql_init is an internal function. [22:17] of the mysql library [22:17] It's still showing up [22:17] Agamemnus: Then what exactly are you doing? :) [22:17] running that function. [22:17] Agamemnus: How? [22:17] through some code that is compiled [22:17] Agamemnus: Are we supposed to guess that? :) [22:17] statically [22:17] sorry for my english, but how i can joint channel #ubuntu-ru [22:17] cheshirelulcat: Did you make /fdbin/fdisk executable? [22:17] cheshirelulcat: is it actually called /dev/sda1? [22:18] Yeah, it's /dev/sda1 [22:18] via a header that is designed for mysql 4.0.17 [22:18] StarshipTravelle: /join #ubuntu-ru [22:18] No, didn't make it executable [22:18] bekks: Do you see the problem there? [22:18] cheshirelulcat: sorry, you need to chmod +x the /fdbin/fdisk file [22:18] Agamemnus: uhm, then you should update that application. [22:18] arthurdent: were i can write this? [22:18] I have no way to update the header. [22:18] StarshipTravelle: in the chat [22:18] np [22:18] it actually runs fine if I don't statically link it. [22:18] arthurdent: ok - thanks:) [22:19] Agamemnus: Then dont link it statically. [22:19] But I need to because I can't install things on my server [22:19] shiit [22:19] now it says no such file or directory [22:19] like libmysqlclient.so and libtinfo.so [22:19] Agamemnus: So which application is it? What does it do? [22:19] cheshirelulcat: please mind the language, thanks. [22:19] Sorry [22:19] it doesn't matter. [22:19] cheshirelulcat: BTW, please do not come in here in 5 months after forgetting you've done this and ask why fdisk isn't working properly as this will utterly confuse anyone that tried to figure out what's happening. [22:19] i'm up the creek for now [22:19] Where am I? [22:19] I won't lol [22:19] It [22:19] Agamemnus: Without providing information, I cant help you. [22:19] It's a one-time thing [22:20] sorry, but it says: Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services === motto is now known as m8 [22:20] cheshirelulcat: sorry, but it says: Cannot join channel (+r) - you need to be identified with services [22:20] StarshipTravelle: you need to have an account /msg q hello [22:20] i told you everything. [22:20] all right, you want to know what it does. [22:20] it accesses a mysql server [22:20] manipulates the data [22:20] sends data back. [22:20] and closes. [22:20] Agamemnus: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [22:21] It says /usr/bin/fdisk , no such file or directory [22:21] StarshipTravelle: forget it i thought im on quakenet lol [22:21] Agamemnus: Then compile it dynamically, and provide the custom locations of the dynamic libraries needed, when compiling it. [22:21] is that what you were asking when you asked what it does? [22:21] that's dumb that they would make the channel +r [22:21] Agamemnus: There is no point in running mysql 4.x anymore. [22:21] cheshirelulcat: change /usr/bin/fdisk to /bin/fdisk in the script [22:22] i don't have to install those libraries? [22:22] i can just copy them in somewhere? [22:22] StarshipTravelle: /msg NickServ REGISTER password youremail@example.com [22:22] Agamemnus: Sure. [22:22] cheshirelulcat: sorry, change it to /sbin/fdisk [22:22] so, just the .so files? [22:22] I thought there were other files [22:22] works [22:22] Thanks :D [22:22] ZIPY: sorry, its too dificult for me, i had alredy created account, but i cant joint #ubuntu-ru, i dont know how it works [22:23] Agamemnus: There might be, though. [22:23] If I ever want to remove this, just delete the script and the line in /etc/profile? [22:23] i contacted my host and asked them to move me to their unmanaged plan. [22:23] i will wait for that, I guess. [22:23] StarshipTravelle: what irc client are you using? [22:23] cheshirelulcat: yep [22:23] ZIPY: pidgin [22:23] cheshirelulcat: Yes, and also remove the directory /fdbin/. [22:23] Mmk, thank you very much! [22:23] np [22:25] StarshipTravelle: ok if u want you can isntall sudo apt-get install pidgin-plugin-pack and activate irc helper there you can put in your nickserv nickname and your password and it will automatically login on connect and you can join channels with +r [22:26] Jordan_U: lol he's gonna be back asking how to hide it elsewhere. i still have no idea why he wanted to do that [22:27] ZIPY: ok, i will try this, thanks :) [22:28] but u need an account first with the commandline i posted [22:28] but you said you have one already [22:28] you have to identify [22:29] ZIPY: yes, i have create it after installing pidgin === graingert is now known as Guest84511 [22:29] anyone in here know anything about ubuntu halting on boot , or how to diagnose the issue? [22:30] so still no luck fixing the blinking cursor, thought I thought it might be worth mentioning that pressing ctrl+alt+del while its blinking has the effect of rebooting the server. Does this mean that the problem is something with the server as opposed to the ubuntu installation? [22:30] (or can you do that anyway) [22:31] Pinkamen1_D: what blinking cursor? [22:32] cinvoke, hold down the Shift key immediately after you press the power on button, see if you get the boot menu [22:32] !list [22:32] maxmas: No warez here! This is not a file sharing channel (or network); read the channel topic. If you're looking for information about me, type « /msg ubottu !bot ».

[22:33] cinvoke: yes [22:33] cinvoke: you see where it stops then [22:33] ZIPY: did that and repair packages [22:33] ZIPY: o [22:33] ZIPY: how? [22:33] Just try it cinvoke [22:34] ZIPY: sorry i was thinking of something else. it stops on "checking battery state". sealbhach [22:34] sealbhach: ZIPY i tried reinstalling pae too. [22:35] sealbhach: ZIPY tried dpkg-reconfigure xfce4-session or somethign similar [22:35] for a week or so, firefox has been memleaking until the OOM killer kills it after a few hours. anyone know anything about this? [22:35] Can you get the grub menu up and choose an earlier kernel? [22:36] MrSassyPants: Have you tried disabling all plugins/extentions? [22:36] Jordan_U, [22:36] nope [22:36] sealbhach: yes. let me take a snapshot. and sae work. give me a few. [22:37] MrSassyPants: See if that stops it, and if it does you can try to narrow down which extention is actually leaking. [22:37] Jordan_U, no point to that. Is there a way to show mem usage in firefox' subsystems? a debug screen or something? [22:39] Hey Guys [22:39] zipy, I am in the process of trying to fix a machine that will no longer boot up [22:40] It boots from livecd but not the hard drive which was working fine yesterday [22:40] will not show grub menu and fsck does not seem to fix it [22:40] Pinkamen1_D I had the same problem with an old pc of mine [22:41] Pinkamen1_D: so it doesnt boot? [22:41] no, it will not, it just shows a blinking cursor [22:41] check your sata/ide cables [22:41] the hard drive is SAS, and I have just tried reseating it [22:41] MrSassyPants: about:memory [22:41] Pinkamen1_D: or you have the wrong hdd in your bios as startup [22:42] Pinkamen1_D: select the one that contains gurb [22:42] * Deathfiyr wants to know why there are flood bots connected? [22:43] what would cause the bios options to change... [22:43] sealbhach: since im booting into an earlier kernel, if it does boot, wont it break some of my sw packs? like lamp? [22:43] genii, thanks. I also have a constant 100% cpu (1/4 cpus) on firefox which is newish [22:44] Pinkamen1_D: i had the same problem today when i reinstalled debian and i have windows on a 2nd harddrive [22:45] Pinkamen1_D: the debian installer installed grub on the windows hdd [22:45] Pinkamen1_D: but my bio was still booting from debian hdd [22:45] my unity desktop isn't working quite right [22:45] +s [22:45] so i had only a blinking cursor [22:45] i believe it's crashing because of the software simulated acceleration [22:46] ZIPY: first it shows "saned disabled; edit /etc/default/saned" then halts on "checking battery state..." [22:46] where are the logs for that sort of thing to help me see? [22:47] chrs_: /var/log/ [22:48] cinvoke: maybe someone can help you if you paste your dmesg [22:49] ZIPY: ok. trying without guest additions [22:49] reisio: find /var/log -iregex '.*compiz.*' print [22:49] is nothing [22:49] chrs_: what's the problem? [22:49] not sure what i need to be looking for [22:50] when i login all i see is the desktop background [22:50] none of the applications are launching [22:50] cinvoke: why without guest additions? [22:50] chrs_: this is ordinary Unity? [22:50] and i get periodically kicked out of the desktop and back into the login window [22:50] yes [22:50] plain ubnuntu 13.04 [22:50] ZIPY: that randomly crashed just now [22:50] i don't have hardware graphical accleration yet though [22:51] so i guess the graphics system ui is using mesa or something [22:51] cinvoke: you are on virtualbox, dont you have snapshots? [22:51] is "unity" the window manager? [22:51] chrs_: nope [22:52] chrs_: compiz is [22:52] no [22:52] the login window looks fine, it's after i try logging in, shit goes wrong [22:52] its your enviroment [22:52] ZIPY: i only have 2, which are messed up too. the inly way i can get into desktop is zlt cntl f1, "xinit" and xfce4-session [22:52] chrs_: unity is your desktop enviroement [22:52] ok [22:53] would be interesting to see what compiz is crashing on, just to make sure it's the slow graphics [22:53] cinvoke: how do u xinit if ur boot freezes? [22:54] cinvoke: so you can boot, but you have an xorg problem? [22:54] xserver [22:54] ZIPY: it just halts, never continues, so i swich to another term instance [22:54] chrs_: sorry you get booted back to the login screen, you said? [22:54] yea [22:54] i'm starting to see the problem === tdguy_ is now known as tdguy [22:55] cinvoke: and what happens if you startx? [22:55] i tried launching compiz manually from a terminal [22:55] "error opengl es not loaded" [22:55] or something, i lost the window [22:55] cinvoke: ah no lghtdm i meant [22:55] or what ever you use [22:55] every time switch from x to a virtual console terminal i get kicked out of the desktop environment and back to a gui login [22:55] ZIPY: i use lightdm for xfce4 [22:56] i found a blog where some user is having the same issues as i'm having on this laptop [22:56] is google down!?!?! [22:56] looks like there might be some kind of workaround [22:57] jcat: lol thats what i was wondering too [22:57] duuude [22:57] back again :D [22:57] yeah it's not in perfect condition === CyberJacob is now known as CyberJacob|Away [22:57] ZIPY: so in another window, i ran sudo lightdm, and it made the sreeen larger light it was about to jump into gui, then went back to original window, where it was stuck on checking battery state [22:57] light=like [22:59] cinvoke: hmm i dont use lightdm but i guess you can reconfigure or reinstall it too [22:59] Out of curiousity, why does apt-get upgrade not seem to update everything that update manager finds and updates? [23:00] SierraAR: apt-get update first [23:00] then apt-get upgrade [23:00] Hi all. I have just run the command, "rm -rf" with nothing after it, on a server for a web client. The server has now become "broken", nothing working at all. What happens with "rm -rf" with no arguments or anything after it? [23:00] ZIPY: i just purged it. upgrade now or after install? [23:01] cinvoke: that upgrade was for SierraAR [23:01] ZIPY: o ok :) [23:01] ZIPY: I do that before running apt-get upgrade, but after areboot update manager always has a couple more things to update that apt-get upgrade didn't pick up. Running update manager seems to clear them all, though. [23:01] Does anybody know what happens with "rm -rf" without anything after it? [23:01] djtdjtdjt: nothing happens. [23:02] djtdjtdjt: it asks for a path [23:03] djtdjtdjt: check your history for what you actually ran [23:03] it was just coincidental that the minute after I run rm -rf, numerous times, the entire site goes down, all WHM login breaks, everything breaks. I'm not the only one with access to the server though. [23:04] djtdjtdjt: why would you run "rm -rf" numerous times if 1) you don't know what it does and 2) it didn't seem to do anything the first few times? [23:04] hi [23:04] anayou: hiyo [23:04] AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/lib/arml-linux-gnueabihf/dri/armsoc_dri.so failed failed [23:05] that appears to be the root of my problem [23:05] djtdjtdjt: even if you gave it the path '/', on any install that isn't massively out of date, nothing would happen [23:05] how do i find which package is supposed to provide a particular file? [23:05] is that a dpkg option? [23:05] hello reisio [23:05] GNU decided a while back that people who really want to run that command will be willing to exert more effort [23:05] anayou: hiyo [23:06] i think i found it, nevermind [23:06] jrib: I knew it deleted a directory. But I had a dumb moment and didn't specify the directory. [23:06] djtdjtdjt: well it doesn't do anything [23:06] chrs_: your solution? [23:06] every body here is work with linux [23:07] chrs_: it's protocol to say what your solution was, for posterity [23:07] anayou: a high percentage [23:07] djtdjtdjt: you may enjoy reading http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/automake-patches/2013-05/msg00162.html [23:08] Is it possible to completely break WHM Accelerated and all CPanel users when logged in as root and running a variation of the rm -rf command? [23:08] djtdjtdjt: if you want, i can test it on a vm :D [23:08] ok , i work with ubuntu 13.04 [23:08] djtdjtdjt: of course. Depends on the variation. [23:08] i have problem in my ubuntu [23:08] rm -rf * or rm -rf / or rm -rf rm -rf rm - rf [23:09] djtdjtdjt: please don't paste those commands here with context.

Do not use the command or utter it here thank you!

[23:14] anayou: http://askubuntu.com/questions/279816/installing-apps-like-whatsapp for example [23:14] anayou: i would think about replacing that functionality with a native application [23:15] he not work .. i do every thing from askubuntu [23:16] What command do I use to find my version?

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? [23:25] ZIPY: 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 lightdm [23:25] thurstylark: i would rather install 12.04 fresh,a nd literally whatever issues that might encounter [23:25] ZIPY: i may still have to purge gdm.... [23:25] cinvoke: you should uninstall gdm too [23:25] ye [23:25] holstein: this won't work any longer?: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/PreciseUpgrades [23:25] or lightdm and use gdm the one you prefer :D [23:26] cinvoke: im off now, if you still get troubles, paste xorg.0.log, xserver-error and dmg. maybe someone can help you [23:27] hey guys. I got a question. What is the best GB emu for ubuntu? [23:27] cinvoke: dmg= dmesg ^^ [23:27] ZIPY: thx! [23:27] Displacer_: hrmm? [23:27] Displacer_: that's not really a support quest i'm afraid. [23:28] reisio: should... but id still rather do whatever it takes for a fresh install [23:28] daftykins: im sorry but what do you mean? [23:28] eitherway, 12.04 packages will be downloaded.. might as well be pre install, and make a nice installer [23:29] 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 that [23:29] lsdj? [23:30] music tracking software for the DMG-01 [23:30] Displacer_: 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 why [23:30] Displacer_: dmg-01? :) [23:31] Displacer_: there are many "trackers".. you will want to get used to using JACK.. you can try #opensourcemusicians [23:31] !proaudio [23:31] For information on professional audio tools in Ubuntu, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuStudio/ProAudioIntro [23:32] I'd just go ahead and look for an alternative instead of trying to run a win32 app [23:32] 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 linux [23:34] holstein: also thank you for the chat link ill try there [23:34] Displacer_: there are many options, and you'll want to go to #opensourcemusicians and other general linux channels for audio. this is not a proaudio channel [23:34] Displacer_: there are *many* ways to do what you are wanting to do in ubuntu [23:36] Displacer_: that whas the channel.. and im giving you information there.. [23:37] holstein: again thank you === MartinS is now known as Guest75572 [23:38] how is it going [23:42] how do you get good at installing different types of files? [23:43] 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? [23:44] vadimer: how do you mean? installing software from source? [23:45] robert__: 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 partitions [23:45] Displacer_: does the visualboyadvance package not work? [23:45] Slart: there are no partitions on the drive. it is empty. but it appears as two devices sdb and sdc [23:46] Slart: drive sdb has 2tb and sdc the remaining 700gb or whatever. [23:46] robert__: hmm.. that's odd..not sure why it would do that [23:48] robert__: it's a normal drive? is it possible it's somehow setup to be "compatible" with older systems? a jumper perhaps [23:48] ^good thinking [23:49] 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. [23:50] Slart: i'll try booting into win7 and see what that sees. [23:52] maybe a hybride drive, ssd and platters? [23:52] robert__: can't hurt to look [23:53] robert__: seagate's website mentions that 3Tb might be a problem in some configurations.. my guess is that it's some kind of safety setting [23:54] robert__: wait, is windows 7 installed on this 3TB disk? === kb3gtn|away is now known as kb3gtn [23:55] robert__: is it also a custom build PC with maybe - a gigabyte motherboard? [23:57] join my channel to talk about hacking, backtrack and other stuff!! #HackShit [23:58] 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.
