[00:00] bluefox83, What is the latest? [00:00] huh? [00:01] wrong nick [00:01] Vinnie_win, What is the latest? [00:01] heh, s'ok [00:01] gcc doesn't really get updated that often i wouldn't think...so it's likely already got the latest gcc [00:03] you know, gcc's latest versions aren't faster just because their newer, They actually suck until the last few days before release, see phoronix.there are some really good benchmarks there. [00:04] Vinnie_win, I see debs on the internet. [00:04] http://pkgs.org/download/gcc [00:07] Hey I installed Nagios from the source and its not working - how do I uninstall it === thomas is now known as Guest29879 [00:07] I would like to reinstall it from apt-get [00:08] can I just go ahead and install it from apt-get maybe? [00:08] i just figure out its a binary file so this dont work egrep -v '\\|\.' file >> newfile [00:09] Anybody know? [00:10] What do you want to know? [00:10] gedit locks up on open file, and leafpad only shows first 3 chars, nano works perfict but i cant copy the hole thing with nano [00:10] I installed nagios from source exidos but it doesn't work [00:11] What is the error msg? [00:11] So I've downloaded Xubuntu and am having the same problem I had with Ubuntu, when I boot from the install source, I get to the animated logo and it just sits there, animating away, but I never actually get to the installation. [00:11] exidos: I can't load the web interface [00:11] exidos: how do I know if its running [00:11] Prock81: As far as I'm aware, there is no text editor that will display the contents of a binary file, because it's binary. [00:11] ps aux says its running [00:11] Did you check the wiki from ubuntu vaskaloidis ? [00:12] Sry, I dont know what you have to do vaskaloidis [00:12] hello [00:13] : hi DititalIceCream [00:15] would it be bad to just install nagios through apt-get along side of its install from source [00:16] vaskaloidis: it would at the very least be redundant, don't you think? [00:16] got that right [00:17] hello ubuntu community [00:17] hello jordilopezamat [00:17] hello reisio [00:17] ;) [00:18] :-/ i'm a little bit puzzled ... [00:18] newbie here ... i' stucked on the following (it's not a "in production" server) ¿HOWTO optimise current partitioning? ? 1. i started from this disk partioning http://db.tt/6tcKC9HW 2. then (temporarily) removed swap partition and tried to enlarge /home capacity... but i (stupidly) slipped onto this http://db.tt/uteG7QaI [00:18] :-D [00:19] jordilopezamat: so what's the problem? [00:19] ooh-err, two separate unallocated segments [00:19] ¿HOWTO optimise current partitioning? It's a little bit messy ... [00:19] and a primary after an extended, eww [00:19] just want / , /home and /swap [00:19] :-/ [00:19] i'd back it up and start again [00:20] yes daftkyins... exactly :-/ [00:20] start again from scratch you mean ? [00:21] i'm on a Live-Usb now , FYI [00:21] thanks again :-) [00:21] for your hints... [00:22] what mean that error while i install apt-get install htop : Segmentation faultsts... 20% [00:22] hi all .. i used unetbootin to put a ubuntu iso onto it / i boot up and i get a boot 0 erro [00:22] any ideas ? [00:23] when i try to dpkg -i install a package i get a conflict error [00:23] but when i try to uninstall the conflicting package, it wants to uninstall a bunch of other packages [00:23] can i just swap them? [00:24] anyone ? [00:24] im trying to boot ubuntu from a usb drive ? [00:24] crypticmofo: try universal usb installer from pendrivelinux.com [00:24] ok [00:25] crypticmofo, Check the sum of the iso and maybe try another usb loader. [00:25] crypticmofo, ive had similar issues [00:25] stirnwer i always have issues with unetbootin .. what we are both saying its a POS [00:26] crypticmofo, i find that a handy way is to install grub(4dos?) or syslinux on the usb and then add various operating systems to it [00:26] i have also had issues with unetbootin in the past. I tend to use the many tools at the Pendrivelinux web site [00:26] I really like the ones that setup grub2 to boot ISO files. that way you can have a single flashd rive that boots differnt disrtos [00:26] crypticmofo, then you may just try with various boot commands, edit the menu file if something goes wrong on first attempt [00:26] or i just 'dd' (image) the iso file straight to the flash. [00:28] crypticmofo, "i boot up and i get a boot 0 erro" - could you spell out the entire error message? [00:28] hey guys! I'm trying to install ubuntu server 12.04 from one of canonical's CDs, and I get the error [00:29] oops, sorry [00:29] error is: '/install/vmlinuz: file not found' [00:29] !md5sum | jose [00:29] jose: 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 [00:29] first guess would be it was a bad iso file or a bad burn jose [00:29] jose: from the installation, or the CD as it boots up? [00:30] reisio: once I get the screen to select the options [00:30] the screen on the Install cd? [00:30] jose: from an installation, or the CD? [00:30] Dr_Willis, wilee-nilee: those checks have been done by the provider :) [00:30] reisio: from the CD [00:30] okay [00:30] what Dr_Willis said, then [00:30] what provider? [00:30] jose, What provider? [00:30] wilee-nilee: I need 4.7.2 but I have 4.6.3 [00:30] Ive definatly seen 'good' cd's not totally be readable by a differnt pc due to differances in the optical drive [00:31] well, Canonical sends LoCos CDs that have been burnt by a provider, they make sure images are the same and there are no burn failures [00:31] Vinnie_win, What release you running? [00:31] I would be very much suprised if they verify every single cd. [00:31] burn them in bulk, ship them out. [00:31] bbl [00:31] verifications can be quick processes after a burn though [00:32] thanks [00:32] jose, I'd be surprised if the canonical shipped CD's were burnt [00:32] yeah, I'm trying with another one [00:33] and another CD gives out the same result [00:33] jose, I would get the iso from the torrent it checks them. [00:33] or zsync [00:34] wilee-nilee: as I said, I didn't download the ISO. [00:34] jose, Did I say you did? [00:34] ok, so i finally just broke down and i'm moving files one folder at a time and rsync just wasn't working, kept saying operation wasn't permitted...no idea what that was about. but it's currently sending at a whopping 600k across the wifi [00:34] jose: well is downloading the ISO not an option for some reason? [00:34] afk [00:34] indirectly, but let's get back to the point :) [00:34] KM0201: I already did, and it was torrented [00:34] jose, Your point is pointless if you want help. [00:35] if it was torrented, then it's not the ISO [00:35] well, it could be the ISO :) [00:35] i want to install package a2.deb but it conflicts with a1.deb. but a lot of packages depend on a1.deb. is there an easy way to do a swap? [00:35] what what? [00:35] canonical has torrents [00:35] wilee-nilee: well, I'll try with some other people around, thanks anyways! [00:35] chrs_: what're the packages? :p [00:35] chrs_: dpkg -i foo1.deb foo2.deb foo3.deb [00:35] chrs_: oh wait i miisread that. === RedefinedClank is now known as Clank|Gone [00:36] reisio: they're on my local hard disk [00:36] you should be able to remove "a2" w/o removing all its dependencies [00:36] jose so what is your CPU architecture? [00:36] ok, you mean remove "a1"? [00:36] what, not where [00:36] wonder if dpkg can do a dpkg -i foo1 -r foo2 (well wait.. dpkg cant remove) [00:36] reisio: oh sorry [00:36] reisio: they are x drivers [00:37] chrs_: whats the package names exactly? [00:37] OerHeks: one of the oldest 64x [00:37] chrs_: well, if you remove "a1".. and it says.. "these packages are no longer required"... that doesn't mean they are being removed... now if it says they're being removed... that's different [00:37] i wish there was a way to move those files faster via smb because it's saying it's gonna take over a day to move them all :( [00:37] bluefox83: use something else? :p [00:38] libegl1-mesa is what i want to remove, chromium-mali-opengles is what i want to install [00:38] naturally, a lot of packages depend on the mesa libraries [00:38] bluefox83, don't use wifi? [00:38] bluefox83: you're moving from one internal hard disk to another internal hard disk, over the network is that right? [00:38] How can i change tab space on vim? [00:39] how do i verify a .deb i have one the signing key and don't wish to add the repository ? [00:39] basichash: echo 'set ts=4 sw=4' >> ~/.vimrc [00:39] reisio: thanks [00:40] KM0201: it says dpkg: dependency problems prevent the removal of libegl1-mesa [00:40] then it doesn't remove the package [00:40] well, there you go [00:41] What is the maximum amount of traffic on the busiest Ubuntu mirrors at peak times? What is an average amount of traffic (up/down) for a busy server? [00:41] busiest.. is on release day. :) when they are so busy they are down.. ;P [00:41] more than a bread basket [00:42] i wonder if they got extra servers they bring up for release day/week loads.. then turn them off when not needed [00:42] How do I save an open file in vim? [00:42] Dr_Willis, they repurpose build servers from LP [00:42] last I checked anyway [00:43] KM0201: i guess i want to force remove the package and install my own package in its place [00:43] basichash: escape, :wq, enter i think [00:43] it should work since it provides the same libraries [00:43] !vim [00:43] Text Editors: gedit (GNOME), Kate (KDE), mousepad (Xfce4) - Terminal-based: nano, vi/vim, emacs, ed - For HTML/CSS editors, see !html - For programming editors and IDE, see !code [00:43] wilee-nilee: I stumbled on this, it helped http://askubuntu.com/questions/113291/how-do-i-install-gcc-4-7 [00:43] time to run vimtutor and learn some vim i think [00:43] chrs_: i think that would be a bad idea... if it provided the same libraries, it wouldn't cause the error when you tried to install it. [00:43] daftykins: how do I do :wq? What is it? [00:44] typing exactly that [00:44] daftykins: right, thanks [00:44] Vinnie_win, Just be aware PPA's are not supported here if you have a problem. [00:44] 13.04 on laptop, dist-upgrade gives me 3.8.0-27 is this correct? [00:44] wilee-nilee: It seemed to work pretty well [00:45] wilee-nilee: My app built [00:45] KM0201: http://pastebin.com/wTT1J8kt [00:45] cool [00:46] tood, dist-upgrade means what to you? [00:46] the thing is i don't care about the mesa libs at all [00:47] hey all [00:47] updates the kernel [00:47] i can boot up after using the pendrive thanks .. but it keeps trying to check for a cdrom not my usb drive [00:47] tood, If you run it, it tells you waht is there. [00:47] should i download a live ubuntu iso then boot form there ? [00:48] the intewebs say the currant kernel is 3.8.0-28 [00:48] crypticmofo: you made a live "pen drive"? [00:48] tood: dist-upgrade in addition to performing the function of upgrade, also intelligently handles changing dependencies with new versions of packages === jan1337zZz is now known as jan1337z === jan1337z is now known as Jan [00:48] crypticmofo: what do you want to do? [00:48] tood: it doesn't mean "kernel upgrade" [00:48] ben64 yes [00:49] holstein i need to install ubuntu .. i need to boot into ubuntu / parition the hdd then install ubuntu === Jan is now known as Guest22195 [00:49] crypticmofo: thats not how you install it [00:49] crypticmofo: you *dont* "boot in ubuntu partition" to install.. that specifically will not work [00:49] holstein it has gparted right ? [00:50] shoot, I did read apt-get man, buut did mis understand [00:50] crypticmofo: you would make installation media.. there is an iso.. you download the iso and either burn it to cd or make a bootable usb stick (i use unetbootin) [00:50] crypticmofo: gparted is in the repos.. and either is on the live installation media, or installable [00:50] reisio: i am moving from one internal hard drive on one machine, to another internal hard drive on another machine via wifi... [00:50] holstein yes ubuntu is on my usb drive .. i can boot to it .. but when i get to the install part it looks for a cdrom not my usb drive and it fails [00:50] sorry it took so long to respond >.> [00:51] crypticmofo: what iso did you download? from where? and how did you make the stick? [00:51] crypticmofo, Are you hitting the yes to unmount something when asked? [00:51] if asked [00:51] wilee-nilee i go to install / unitied states / keyboard / then it says checking cdrom integrity / then it errors out [00:52] crypticmofo: what iso did you download? from where? and how did you make the stick? [00:52] crypticmofo: you might have a bad iso :/ [00:52] crypticmofo, I would check the sum on the iso, and answer holstein [00:52] since when does an `apt-date update` take 10 minutes? is it just my network, or is anybody else seeing this? [00:52] ubuntu-12.04.2-alternate-amd64 [00:52] ok one sec ok [00:53] crypticmofo: d you have 64bit hardware? do you want 12.04? how did you make the bootable stick? [00:53] DanC_, YOU changed anything, like using a proxy...etc? [00:53] or, it's having trouble contacting a 3rd party repo [00:53] like a ppa [00:53] you should be able to see where it's hanging up. [00:53] yup.. bad or old/slow sources can do that [00:53] no... well, I've been changing some things since I saw the symptoms; e.g. trying different mirrors [00:53] i've read that the startup disk creator thingy in the latest 64bit ubuntu is broken >.> [00:54] Where do I install boost? [00:54] or it was, like a week ago [00:54] holstein yes .. im on a lenova twist device its 64 bit windows 8 .. i downloaded the iso from a ubuntu website (im looking for it) i used universal usb installer to make it [00:54] How do I find out where my current boost is located? [00:54] Vinnie_win: what boost? what exactly are you trying to do? [00:54] dpkg -L boost [00:54] crypticmofo: try unetbootin.. try confirming the iso download [00:54] apt-cache policy boost # to see if it's installed at all [00:54] holstein http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/ [00:54] !md5 > crypticmofo [00:54] crypticmofo, please see my private message [00:54] DanC_: Hmm its not installed [00:54] holstein i tried unibutin it didn't working [00:54] apt-cache search boost # to see if you got the name of the package right [00:54] s/working/work/ [00:55] crypticmofo: what youa re trying now, is not working === chris__0076 is now known as Chris_0076 [00:55] ok let me mdf it [00:55] crypticmofo: the commmon thread is, the downloaded iso, your network.. the usb stick (potentially) and you [00:55] mmd5* [00:55] DanC_: Yeah I got some of the libraries. I know i Have boost because I've been building my app with it. I would like to remove it, and reinstall the latest boost myself [00:55] * DanC_ presumes he means the boost c++ library http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boost_(C%2B%2B_libraries) [00:56] that's odd, i always think *I* am the problem first...then go on to the software, then the hardware...lol [00:56] DanC_: I updated my gcc using a ppa and now the prebuilt boost libraries are incompatible [00:56] eek... you're way out there on the edge, Vinnie_win. [00:56] what _are_ you trying to do? [00:56] Vinnie_win: that's why i try not to update libraries like that... [00:57] DanC_: First I want to remove all traces of the existing boost install. Then I want to reinstall boost on my own using the instructions on boost.org === andrex is now known as andrex|off [00:57] really? you want to play around with installing libraries? and then you'll be happy? no further goal? [00:57] DanC_: No more using ubuntu's package manager for the boost libraries..I need to do it myself, and build the libraries myself, so I can have different versions installed for testing [00:58] holstein cff39ccc589c7797aacce9efee7b5f93 *ubuntu-12.04.2-alternate-amd64.iso is the same as http://releases.ubuntu.com/precise/MD5SUMS [00:58] first line [00:58] Vinnie_win: build what you like.. and maintain it on your own.. the repo versions are officialy supported here.. [00:58] Vinnie_win: i would probably consider virtualization for that [00:58] holstein: Sure. But how do I remove what is already installed? === andrex|off is now known as andrex [00:59] holstein: I definitely used the package manager to get boost in there in the first place. I dont recall building it myself [00:59] apt-get remove libboost-dev #or the like; use apt-cache search or dpkg -l to find the name [00:59] Danc_: Ah yes! libboost-dev that is definitely ringing a bell [01:00] crypticmofo: ok.. you dont need to share that here.. you can just test that on your own, and confirm it.. then move on.. try a different USB stick.. try the same stick on different hardware.. make the stick with unetbootin *after* manually reformatting it [01:00] might I recommend checkinstall to package up the results when you build it yourself, Vinnie_win [01:00] crypticmofo: i assure you.. the iso's work.. and i use them routinely.. what *specific* issue did you have with unetbootin? [01:00] danc_: Not sure what you mean by package up the results [01:00] hi [01:00] :D [01:01] nobody else is seeing `apt-get update` take 15 minutes? (and counting...) [01:01] DanC_, Have you checked you net speed? [01:01] DanC_: no.. and as i (and other suggested( that can be due to slow sources.. did you add PPA's? [01:01] holstein first things first im going to parition my hard drive and start over ok [01:01] heh... I *just* typed speedtest.net into my browser as you wrote that, wilee-nilee [01:02] and yes, I've added PPAs here and there. any clues on telling which one is slow? [01:02] crypticmofo: do what you like.. i use a gparted live CD.. if you cant boot live CD's, you might have issues in generall doing maintenance like that [01:02] DanC_: i usually disable them *all*, run the updated command.. and add them back [01:02] danc_: Could you give me a clue to where in the file system I should extract the boost_1_54 directory? Would it normally go in /usr/local/ or something? [01:02] DanC_: one at a time.. [01:03] DanC_, did you check that all the ppa's have releases for your release? [01:03] holstein there is a option on the gparted webpage to use the usbliveuniveral thing to make it boot [01:03] crypticmofo: i use unetbootin.. use what is working, which right now, is nothing for you [01:03] Vinnie_win, well, now there you're getting off-topic for this channel. I'd bet there's a #boost channel not far from here. [01:03] ok thanks br [01:03] b [01:03] crypticmofo: try taking the stick you make to another machine. try another stick.. try another iso.. [01:04] i will [01:04] 0.34Mbps download speed. :-{{{{ [01:05] 0.24 that is [01:05] DanC_, Reboot the router [01:06] not a bad idea [01:06] * DanC_ wonders why people put up with this. [01:06] can you imagine if you had to turn your fridge off and on every other week? [01:06] DanC_: i never have to reboot my router [01:08] ._. [01:08] O_O [01:08] Hi friends, when I resume my laptop from Sleep mode, Ubuntu is not able to increase brightness of laptop. Its brightness is so low after resuming that I can barely see anything. So everytime I resume I have to increase brightness manually. Is there any fix to this problem? [01:09] i just made some changes to my smb.conf how do i get samba to start reading the new smb.conf? [01:10] bluefox83: sudo service smbd restart [01:10] c2tarun, screen settings? should be possible to adjust that [01:10] somsip: wont that just restart it? i thought you had to do somethign to get it to rehash it or something? [01:11] stirnwer, sorry, I am not able to understand, can you please rephrase [01:11] bluefox83: I've not had to do that before but I suppose it might depend on what you changed [01:11] there is a maximum brightness usually configurable in your video cards utility menu [01:12] do you have intel? ati? nvidia? [01:12] I know ati and nvidia have one [01:14] anyone have any experience with dd-wrt firwmare and xubuntu when the router is set in repeater mode? (all my devices except my xubuntu laptop will connect to my bridge wireless) [01:14] i really hate my router >.> [01:15] !tmi | bluefox83 [01:15] bluefox83: Um thanks... We *really* did not need to know that... [01:15] what? [01:15] O.o [01:16] I love mine, researched it before the buy, replaced all antennas by now [01:16] that you hate your router.. :) [01:16] bluefox83, This is support I notice you are just making comments many of which have b=no evidens, like a "I read that" for example. [01:16] oh, well mine is a wrt54g that's like, 8 years old or something...it's super slow... [01:16] bluefox83: both desktops? [01:16] reisio: eh, a laptop and a desktop [01:17] ah [01:17] I get a good 100mbps on my at&t router [01:17] still, you could probably take the drive out of the source box, and hook it up to the destination box [01:17] mine is a TP-Link TL-WR1043ND [01:17] and increase transfer time massively [01:17] wilee-nilee: the router comment was really because dispite adding some new stuff to smb.conf to speed things up...my router is bottlenecking my speeds rediculously [01:17] erm, decrease :) [01:17] increase transfer time _efficiency_, heh [01:18] which is funny cause the damn thing and most routers are suppose to get 10 times that [01:18] reisio: i wish i had the stuff to do that...buuuut i don't D: [01:18] a lot only get their boasted speeds with inferior security configurations [01:18] bluefox83: what stuff are you lacking? [01:19] cabling? [01:19] bluefox83: no you already have cables [01:19] that's how your computers connect to the drives they're using right now [01:19] O.o [01:19] with cables [01:19] how am i connecting a laptop hard drive to a desktop, or vise-versa? [01:19] just take it out of one and put it into another [01:20] there are no cables in my laptop...it just sits there >.> [01:20] then it's just up to your desktop [01:20] how many drives does it have? [01:20] and, there's no way to hook that drive into my desktop... [01:20] sure there is [01:20] 2 currently... [01:21] perfect, then you have at least one spare cable [01:21] which is all you need [01:21] dude, i'm tellin ya, there is no compatible cable in that desktop to hook that hard drive in there! [01:21] why? One is PATA and one is SATA? [01:21] there's an IDE and an SATA...none of them will hook to this drive :( [01:22] your laptop uses neither IDE or SATA? [01:22] that's hard to believe [01:22] it just kinda sits on a little connector...i dunno which it woudl be [01:22] *would [01:22] funkgle [01:22] well, it's almost certainly one or the other :) [01:22] i'm really not taking the hard drive out to do that anyways >.> [01:22] if your desktop handles both, it doesn't matter which it is [01:22] why not? :p [01:22] it'll save you hours and hours [01:23] cus i have to be in bed in like half an hour...

[03:18] balorth: you should just use a linux image that has that in it if thats all you need [03:18] well that would be helpfull [03:18] balorth, What is it you are doing, whats the end goal here? [03:18] i need to rest y fathers password on windows 7 [03:19] balorth, You might ask in ##windows for a method more common.

[03:20] balorth: follow the windows password reset process [03:20] balorth: there is no need to use linux to "reset" your dads password [03:21] well he doent have any reset disk [03:21] balorth: he can get one from microsoft it that is needed [03:21] balorth: the guys in ##windows can walk you through a password reset [03:21] theres those system-rescue live cd's saw on distro watch that can do it also i belove.

[03:36] PKKid2: it's apparmor stopping it as I recall [03:37] ikonia, We (as in me and you) have not talked about this before.. This is my first time asking for help in here for about a year now. :/ [03:38] PKKid2: perhaps it was someone else, however the problem was apparmor [03:38] PKKid2: I suspect you have the same problem [03:39] ikonia, I did a quick search on apt and I *do* have that package installed. Thought I have never heard of this before. Is removing it a bad idea? [03:43] ikonia, THanks for this, looking into it now.. this could be it although I dont see a postgres entry in my apparmor config dirs [03:49] new to ubuntu, i think after installing a steam demo i have a useless 6GB file called ".swl" in my home folder, or is that not useless.. [03:49] what is it? [03:49] themanwithnoface: try 'file thefilename.swl' and see what it says [03:49] !steam [03:49] Valve have officially announced that they are developing Steam and are working with !ubuntu during their development, see http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/linux/steamd-penguins/ for further details, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Valve for install instructions, you can also join #ubuntu-steam for discussion. [03:50] id just delete it. ;) but im reckless [03:50] ooh... it says ".swl: Vim swap file, version 7.3" ...damn... why is it 6GB ?? go to #vim? ;\ [03:51] could be file is confused also. and miss-identifying it [03:52] no i mean if i wrongly closed vim while editing a bunch of times, could it become 6GB ??? so i'll just back up my vimrc and delete it? [03:52] .vimrc is not the same as a vim swap file [03:52] i wouldent think it would become 6gb. unless you were doing some hard core editing [03:54] Dr_Willis: i was messing with my appSwitcher.js files in cinnamon... like a lot.. lol to tweak the GUI... a swap file is like a small back up right? [03:55] i mean my home is SMALL all there is is eclipse.. and like.. i'm new to ubuntu and all.. i want to delete but.. :< [03:55] i would think its like a memory swap file.. since vi also has 'backup' featires [03:56] yeah and my vimrc doesnt have the whole quick and efficient saving/writing/redraw stuff in it [03:56] can the useradd gui be removed as package? [03:56] and a vim swap file (from what i googled) starts with a . and ends with swp [03:57] so its very likely that file is just missnamed, or getting missientified [03:57] rename it to 'delte-me-later.whatever' ;) and see if anything breaks [03:58] ok i did [03:58] now i'm sudo apt-get updating [04:00] successful update... Dr_Willis what else can i do to test if it was anything? i mean.. my gui is fine.. still on smuxi IRC.. any terminal commands? [04:00] id just delet the thing. It may be some left over steam cache [04:02] themanwithnoface: open vim and make sure it doesn't complain, but I've not come across problems with things like this before [04:03] themanwithnoface: make sure steam still works ok, but again, very unlikely to complain [04:05] k, deleted it. updated.. vim is running fine.. saved wrote and compiled a file in vim.. don't care about steam, too poor for gaming, and laptop too sucky for TF2... [04:05] themanwithnoface: sounds safe enough then [04:06] whoopee! nowi i can back up my home folder thanks guys. lol [04:06] gonna reboot i guess that'll be the true test [04:08] join #linux [04:11] hey guys, when I start typing a name of a program in the dash home box it doesn't show any programs. How do I reset it? I must have touched something. [04:12] theres filter buttons to the right hand side [04:12] Filter Results... [04:13] hmmm Dr_Willis I dont see any filter buttons [04:13] what ubujntu release are you using? [04:14] 12.04 [04:14] they have constantly updated that 'area' with each new release. I forget how 12.04 had it.. or even if it did. [04:14] 13.10 has a Very nice set of controls now to filter out stuff. ;) [04:14] its so weird cause I search for any program but none come up [04:15] it was working fine a few days ago [04:16] see if it works for a newly made user. if so.. then its a user setting issue [04:17] well, Dr_Willis is there a way to upgrade without having to install from disk and lose all my data? [04:17] if a new user has same issue. its a system type setting/problem [04:17] all what data? [04:17] I upgrade and dont use data. ;) [04:17] the files on my computer [04:17] thats the point of a 'upgrade' vs a 'clean install' [04:17] oh, how do I update then? [04:18] Update is differnt then a 'upgrade' [04:18] what are you wanting to do exctly [04:18] I just want to find my programs [04:19] i dont see how a 'update, or upgrade' would be part of the answer.. unless you just want to try things at random to see if it suddendly starts working. ;) [04:19] I recently purchased a Dell XPS 8700 with an Nvidia graphics card in it. I installed Ubuntu 12.04, and I was using it shortly after I updated it, along with installing the proprietary nvidia drivers. It seemed to be working fine, and then I noticed that it was frozen while running VirtualBox. Upon reboot, I can't get it past the splash screen, and when I googled for an answer, nothing seemed to apply that I could see, but maybe I'm missing [04:19] something. [04:19] id test with a Newly made user. see if the issue also affects them [04:19] Any help would be appreciated. [04:19] ok I will try that Dr_Willis thanks [04:19] I don't open emails or URLs' that I don't recognize. Should I be concerned about "Hand of Thief"? [04:19] if the new user works.. then clean out the problem users settings/reset unity [04:19] chiques: not especially [04:20] somsip, so why is it getting so much hype? [04:20] chiques: id be amazed at http://askubuntu.com/questions/330911/hand-of-thief-malware [04:20] chiques: because it's the 'first' linux trojan openly for sale [04:20] its a slow news week? ;) [04:20] Dr_Willis: good link [04:21] GBGames, the proprietary drivers generally don't follow kernel upgrades and are advised not to use, unless that is all that works or you know how to deal with this. [04:21] first google hit ;) [04:21] Dr_Willis: heh [04:21] wilee-nilee: Ok, so how do I revert back to noveau? [04:21] Hand of Thief has no good ways of infecting Linux users. Instead, the cracker "suggested using email and social engineering as the infection vector." [04:21] GBGames, No idea all I know is what I stated, others do though. ;) [04:22] Dr_Willis, somsip how does the community/developers handle this sort of deal? Would they test it and patch the vulnerabilities? [04:22] wilee-nilee: Ok, thanks. [04:22] B-) [04:22] chiques: there is no patch for user gullibility [04:22] lmao [04:22] ok [04:22] chiques: seems you basically have to 'ok it to run' or somthing. :) still reading [04:22] chiques: blase answer - I don't know the ins and outs of how it works. Good info on the link from Dr_Willis [04:22] A lot of answers online assume that I can get something loaded, but if I get to the splash screen, I can't switch to a terminal. I have to make sure I hit Esc before it gets that far. [04:23] i wonder if the guy 'selling' the 'Hand of thief' is actually just ripping off the people that would buy malware :P [04:23] Dr_Willis: maybe the installer has malware installed in it. Malception... [04:24] somsip: from what im reading its not actually been looked at (the code/whatever) its just someone seems to be 'selling' it and claimingit works.. [04:25] but i cant really seem to find any 'hard' info on it [04:25] Dr_Willis: I shall not be too concerned then [04:25] nvidia [04:25] Dr_Willis, I would presume the Linux Developer Guru's are all over this but I haven't found any literature confirming this. [04:25] !nvidia [04:25] For Ati/NVidia/Matrox video cards, see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/VideoDriverHowto [04:25] hey Dr_Willis it works now. I removed and reinstalled unity-lens-applications and unity-lens-files [04:26] GBGames, YOu might look here^^^ [04:26] wilee-nilee: Thanks [04:29] Who are RSA Researchers? [04:32] I have peppermint which is derived from lubuntu. I was trying to get rid off peppermint logout session and use only "shutdown". I could not get it working. I already followed ubuntu instruction but failed to see results. [04:32] I tried /etc/acpi/events/powerbutton.sh [04:34] hey i was talking the other night here to this fine chap, that helped me out of a bind with a filer...and i cant rememeber what we did ...is there a log i can pick at ? [04:35] Dr_Willis, somsip It looks like they (Ubuntu Developers) are monitoring "Hand of Thief" . I hope they are able to patch it up soon. [04:37] i need to reinstall my ubuntu os on my laptop.. and i have installed many extra software earlier. i dont want to re download those extra PAckages again .. how can i backup the extra downloaded packages..? [04:42] ?? [04:46] hi all question [04:46] i have one of those lenov twist laptops that use efi right / i disabled al that installed ubuntu to /dev/sda4 and i told it to put grub on it / i boot up my machine and windows till pops up / i know it means still has a boot flag [04:46] how do i change this ? [04:48] hi [04:48] zram or zswap? which is better? [04:48] chiques: patch would be 'telling the users to not run some executable/script they get in an email' from what im reading. ;) [04:48] is there a command line to boot ubuntu that is on /dev/sda4 [04:48] thunder1212: your apt cache MAY have some of the packages. that will save some downloading. but i doubt if it has them all [04:48] the options i have at ubuntu instaler are install / command-line install / advanced options [04:49] crypticmofo: so you lost your grub menu? and need to replace it? or what happaned [04:49] Is there any log that I can check that explains why LightDM says it is running but nothing is happening? [04:50] Dr_Willis: so windows is the main os right i paritioned windows to like a 100gig primary parition /dev/sda4 / once the install was done it said to install grub .. i said yes .. when i boot back up i don't see grub i see windows [04:50] I'm finding I'm bumping up the 4gb limit my current laptop has a lot, I read zram and zswap could help but which one would be faster? [04:50] ShapeShifter499: don't cross post [04:51] crypticmofo: i would follow the directions at the 'fixgrub' factoid. and use the boot-repair tool to repair grub from a live cd. [04:51] !fixgrub | crypticmofo [04:51] crypticmofo: GRUB2 is the default Ubuntu boot manager. Lost GRUB after installing Windows? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RestoreGrub - For more information and troubleshooting for GRUB2 please refer to https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Grub2 [04:52] dont' have a live cd [04:52] Dr_Willis: i used a usb / net install [04:52] reisio, as I say.... covering multiple related channels is a bad thing? [04:52] crypticmofo: just make sure grub is going to sda [04:52] *ask [04:52] ShapeShifter499: it's considered bad etiquette, yes [04:52] crypticmofo: theres cli ways to reinstall grub. but i havent done thatin ages.. boot-repair makes it trivial most of the time [04:53] crypticmofo: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/10573557/Ubuntu/13_04/5.png [04:53] crypticmofo: if you can get a minimal system booted, with a console command line, you can chroot in and try fixing grub. [04:53] crypticmofo: you can just boot the live cd and chroot the system [04:53] can't i just put gparted back on the usb drive / boot it up and put a boot flag on /sda4 ? [04:54] boot flags are pretty much entirely irrelevant :) [04:54] why do you think the boot flag matters? Im not even sure grub pays attention to them [04:54] reisio, it's not like I'm posting in every ubuntu channel I can and it's not like I'm posting the question in #debian when I clearly run ubuntu [04:54] cf the live usb isn't live i only have 4 optoins / install / command-line install / advnced optoins / help [04:54] crypticmofo: try alt-ctrl-f1 through f6 and see if theres a console on one of them [04:54] ShapeShifter499: nope, it's more like you're posting in more than one channel excluding #debian (potentially) [04:55] i have a shell [04:55] crypticmofo: install again will take, what 10 mins, then just check that image I gave you [04:55] meh... whatever :p [04:56] reisio, so when ppl in #ubuntu don't help, what do I do then? [04:56] it was a netinstall took like a hour or so [04:56] slow wifi [04:56] ShapeShifter499: ask other people [04:57] i would think it would hae been better to not do a net-install over wifi/slow connections ;) but use a normal live-cd/usb method. [04:57] +1 Dr_Willis [04:57] yes [04:58] its lenova twist it has no cdrom [04:58] live cd/usb <-- :) i alwyas use bootable usb flash drives these days [04:59] Hi, just looking for some advice. What would be the easiest way of building a (text only) ubuntu live cd with some extra files installed? [04:59] i cant even find info on repairing grub with chroot/commands now on the wiki. [05:00] nobody_: just extra files you might want to access, or extra files in particular places in the FS? [05:00] Dr_Willis: I gots'm memorized [05:00] reisio: specifically a script that i need to run at startup and some required packages for said script [05:01] reisio: luckly i dont need them enough to do that.

I'm having problems getting it to run from /etc/rc.local [05:07] rotorgeek: should probably ask #raspberrypi [05:07] ;) [05:07] rc.local does run as root. :) just in case you dont realize that. so screen would run as root.

[05:11] Mace268: login to what?

[05:13] I know but it's just a local server [05:13] Mace268: log out, and dont save the creds [05:13] theres bound to be some files in the users home that are caching them i imagine. [05:14] but i agree with holstein . [05:14] shouldnt need to run as root for anything im reading there [05:15] My router was recently changed; after this, I stopped being able to load web pages (DNS lookups fail and I can't load pages by IP) when on wireless. This machine can still connect via ethernet to the router and works fine; other (Mac) machines can connect wirelessly with no problems. I am not very familiar with networking, so don't know what other information may be of use - please say so if you need anything to be able to help. [05:16] Thelas: you are using DHCP and not static addressing in network manager? [05:16] Thelas: your home router was recently changed? [05:17] Dr_Willis: Yes, for both wireless and wired. [05:17] holstein: Yes. [05:17] Thelas: why/how? and by whom? ask them to change it back.. [05:18] or just set a static dns server [05:18] can you een ping the gateway? [05:18] holstein: Family member decided to upgrade bandwidth allowed and ISP required we purchase/use a new router to do so. [05:18] i would want to reset the router, and make sure its working properly.. set good passwords and check the dns settings.. etc [05:19] Dr_Willis: Haven't tested it; is there a way to tell ping to use the wireless connection or do I have to disconnect wired to do so? [05:19] Thelas: i would ask who you purchased the router from for support.. [05:20] They say they won't support Linux users (despite the person in the store when it was purchased claiming it would work with Ubuntu machines...) [05:20] Thelas: then, login on the osx machine you referenced above, and ask them for support [05:21] holstein: you're not really helping... [05:21] Ben64: its not on topic here [05:21] then direct him to ##networking or something [05:22] Hm..? I don't get what you're suggesting. The OSX machine works fine with the wireless. I tried telephone support when this was discovered and got no help. [05:22] Thelas: i would reset the unit, and set good passwords.. confirm the dns settings are "good" [05:22] Ben64: i'll just let you take it.. thanks! [05:22] I'm not sure what you mean by "good" DNS settings. [05:23] Thelas: you need to see if you can ping from it [05:23] googles dns server ip are 8.8.8.8 and err.. i forget . ;) [05:24] Ben64: Do you mean ping the router from this machine, or something else? [05:24] Thelas: from whichever machine isn't working [05:24] Thelas: the command 'ifconfig' should show you your ip. and then you can tell the routers ip. [05:24] Okay, disconnecting wired connection to test. Will be back after. [05:25] Thelas: would be easiest if you could be in here on a different device instead of connecting and disconnecting [05:25] Does this channel offer some support to 13.10 Alpha? [05:26] StephDC, #ubuntu+1 [05:26] wilee-nilee: Thanks. [05:27] are they even calling them alpha and beta builds any more? ;) [05:27] Hm, apparently I didn't timeout while doing that. [05:27] Can't ping the router (14 transmitted, 0 received, time 13103ms). [05:28] Ben64: Okay, will do so. Be back on a different machine. [05:30] hello guys, what other tools other than apt-proxy? [05:30] Right, back. If it didn't show up, the Ubuntu machine can't ping the router (when on wireless connection.) [05:30] if the router is not giveing the linux box an ip/dns stuff.. theres deeper issues going on [05:30] hmm ... for some reason (not that i am dumping Grub2) ... this gfxboot thing has me curious (I have already downloaded the packages) [05:31] Thelas: is the access point named the same? and has the same password? you could try throwing the connection away in the manager and try joining again [05:32] holstein: It is. Ubuntu claims it's connected; iwconfig shows the correct Mac address for the router (matches with the router's settings page.) [05:32] Thelas: please open the network manager, and go to connection and delete the access point, and reconnect,a nd test [05:33] Thelas: maybe, right click on the network icon in the tray, and go to "wireless".. highlight the AP and "delete" it.. [05:34] Thelas: then, select it and rejoin [05:34] holstein: Just did so. Still no result for host google.com. [05:35] Thelas: and the router? [05:35] and ping 8.8.8.8 ? === andrex is now known as andrex|off [05:36] holstein: Are you just suggesting power-cycling the router, or something else? [05:36] Thelas: can you ping the router or poing 8.8.8.8? [05:36] Neither. [05:37] does 'ifconfig' show you haveing a valid ip? [05:37] Thelas: but other machines can? and you can get online wired with the ubuntu machine? [05:37] inet addr:192.168.11.55 or similer. [05:37] holstein: Yes to both. [05:37] Thelas: that makes no sense [05:38] Dr_Willis: 192.168.0.10 (router is 192.168.0.1 and other machines are 192.168.0.*, so seems good.) [05:38] Thelas: try to just disable and re-enable the wifi chip [05:38] id be curious to test with a differnt disrto/live cd. and see if they work. [05:39] and see if the other pcs can ping your 192.169.0.10 address [05:39] can you open and edit and save files on your system? I recently couldn't connect to Internet because harddrive was having a bad day [05:40] Myrtti: says connection via wired works... [05:40] mkay [05:40] holstein: If you just mean the hardware switch on the laptop, just tested, doesn't help. [05:40] might be driver issue, has that Been looked at [05:41] should work? [05:41] Dr_Willis: Mac times out pinging the address Ubuntu machine claims. [05:41] Myrtti: says it used to work with another router :/ [05:42] Thelas: i think this is something odd.. i would make *certain* you are connecting to the proper access point. if it were me, i would try a live CD on that machine.. [05:42] i got a new router.. but i added it to the old one. ;) so i got them daisy-chained.. heh.. [05:42] this sounds familiar but alas I have to go, and I can't quite pinpoint how it is familiar [05:43] holstein: I definitely am (iwconfig shows the same Mac address as the router setup page; that's enough to guarantee that, right?); sadly, don't think I have a blank CD to burn one. [05:43] use a usb perhaps? you can also setup grub2 to boot ISO files if you got the skills. [05:44] Thelas: is the other router there? plug it in, connect and see if you can ping it.. connect to *any* other AP and see if its working [05:49] holstein: Sadly, only way I can think of to connect to another AP right now is to get family's iPhone to make one, and said iPhone is located in a room with sleeping owner of it, so... Anything else anyone can think of to test for now? If not, I'll come back later when I can test that. [05:50] Thelas: no.. [05:50] Thanks for the help regardless. Be well. [05:51] id say the chances that that wifi chip died at the same time that AP was replaced are slim... === root__ is now known as MillePattes [05:55] I get the no wubildr error found when I try to boot into Ubuntu 12.04. I believe a package update may have borked my booting. I cannot find up to date instructions on wubildr not found for 12.04, only for 10.x, which are very outdated anddo not work. [05:55] I would apperciate it if anyone could help me get Ubuntu booting again. [05:55] * floatingrain is currently booted into live USB mode, however the commands for fixing it on 10.x does not work. [05:56] floatingrain: Are you using Wubi? [05:56] blazemore, Apparently so. [06:00] blazemore, Wait. I do not boot Ubuntu THROUGH windows [06:01] When I start up the computer I'm at window's bootloader, I pick Ubuntu. Is that wubi? I do have wubi files on my windows pc, and I'm not sure if I'm using wubi or not. [06:01] I see /host/ on Ubuntu [06:01] floatingrain: inconclusive, but could be [06:01] reisio, how can I tell if I'm uing wubi or not, and how can I boot back into ubuntu? [06:02] Installed ubuntu 12.04 LTS and now i want to remove the left side tool bar and i want to keep my computer and other icons in desktop how can i do it [06:02] floatingrain: how many disks have you got? You can't boot into Ubuntu now? [06:02] reisio, I only have one HDD. I can't boot into ubuntu - I get the wubildr error. [06:02] ah [06:02] well that sounds like wubi to me :p [06:03] I power up my computer, it asks me if I want to boot into Windows or Ubuntu. [06:03] I press ubuntu, I see two lines quickly flash by about unable to find wubildr, and then I'm back to the emergency grub recovery prompt. [06:03] what'd you do to break it? :) [06:03] reisio, I'm pretty sure the package manager broke it. I did nothing in particular. I was on windows for a few days before coming back. [06:03] mmm, ewll [06:03] well, even [06:04] I s'pose this is why people don't like wubi [06:04] I don't even know I have wubi.. What's the difference? [06:04] What's the difference between wubi and dual booting? because it looks exactly like a dual boot. [06:04] with wubi, your Ubuntu is actually installed into a _file_ inside your Windows filesystem [06:04] when you boot it, it pretends the file is a disk [06:04] where is that file? [06:04] it's somewhere :) [06:04] I'd check program files first, then c:\ [06:04] because the disks I see are a max of 256MB [06:05] it will probably have an obvious name [06:05] and that's obviously not enough. [06:05] http://windirstat.info/ [06:05] reisio, C:/ubuntu/disks/root.disk ? that's 0 bytes [06:05] according to what, Windows? [06:06] according to ubuntu. I'm in a liveUSB [06:06] swap.disk is 268.4 MB [06:06] ah [06:06] crap dont tell me i lost my files [06:06] floatingrain: do you recall how much space was used on your Ubuntu system, roughly? [06:07] reisio, I believe it's /dev/sda6 [06:07] what is? :) [06:07] That's 97 GB [06:07] And I think my ubuntu instnce was along that. But it's not recongized by Windows or GParted. [06:07] The file system is lvm2, is that expected? [06:08] floatingrain: this looks fancy and promising :) http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1639198 [06:08] reisio, tried that, does not work on 12.04 [06:08] I s'pose it's possible you installed via wubi but have Ubuntu on a dedicated partition [06:08] mount commands give me an error. I think I installed via wubi but I'm pretty sure it's on a dedi partition [06:08] if that's the case, it'd probably be best to remove the wubi part and just keep the data [06:08] Right. But I need to boot first, I need my data there. [06:08] i didebnt think wubi could install to a dedicated partion. [06:09] it's pretty unlikely the data has been harmed [06:09] it could access a linux partion i guess. [06:09] Well I have a /dev/sda6 with expected sizes [06:09] Dr_Willis: I think the win32 executable is all called "wubi" [06:09] "Unknown filesystem type: 'LVM2_member'" [06:09] Dr_Willis: yeah? and one option is to do a dedicated install [06:09] I can't mount /dev/sda6 :( [06:09] floatingrain: how'd you try to mount it? [06:09] wubi can do a dedicated install? never noticed that. but i dont recall wubi ever doing lvm stuff either. ;) [06:09] sudo mount /dev/sda6 /media/lnx [06:10] Dr_Willis: heh, dunno [06:10] OK, so /dev/sda1 is my windows boot directly. /dev/sda2 is Windows's C. /dev/sda3 is my windows/lenovo recovery. /dev/sda4 is extended, /dev/sda5 is ext4 and is 500MB. /dev/sda6 is lvm2, 97GB, lvm flags [06:10] I am rpetty sure /dev/sda4 is Ubuntu and the /dev/sda5 is the Ubuntu boot drive, with /dev/sda6 my data. What does lvm flags mean? [06:10] floatingrain: what does 'pvs' say? [06:11] sounds like sda5 may be / and sda6 may be /home/ [06:11] The program pvs is not currently installed. installing [06:11] floatingrain: sudo pvs?

I want to partition it so I can install windows while keeping ubuntu intact. how can I do that? [06:13] poee: you'd need to resize the partition/s to make space for a couple windows partitions [06:13] poee, resize it and then make a new partition [06:13] well shrink it [06:13] poee: resizing isn't 100% safe, it's more like 75% safe, so back up anything you care about first [06:13] so [06:14] poee: can use gparted from your live OS [06:14] crypticmofo: yeah? [06:14] Dr_Willis: i booted to a live cd and my ubuntu is actually on /dev/sda6 [06:14] wierd [06:14] crypticmofo: pretty weird [06:14] reisio, the computer is under warranty. I can backup the data. [06:14] poee: not sure what one has to do with the other, but good? :) [06:15] ok [06:15] so if my ubuntu install is on /dev/sda6 [06:15] reisio, you said resizing wasn't safe :P [06:15] do i do sudo grub root (hd0,6) ?

[06:16] floatingrain: would probably say 'corrupted' if it could detect that, don't you think? :p [06:16] reisio, ah. okay :). Can I use gparted from my native ubuntu, or do I have to use gparted from a Live CD? [06:16] floatingrain: lvdisplay /dev/vg_somebody [06:16] poee: live [06:17] reisio, but it says it's 0% free.. what do I look for it in there? [06:17] I see 3 logical volumes [06:17] reisio, okay, got it, thanks :) [06:17] poee: also chances are Windows will prefer space at the beginning of the disk, not the end [06:17] /dev/vg_somebody/lv_swap /dev/vg_somebody/lv_home /dev/vg_somebody/lv_root [06:17] this is my ubuntu disk! [06:17] poee: and it might want primary partitions (GNU/Linux doesn't care about primary or not) [06:17] All 3 are NOT available. [06:17] floatingrain: you should be able to mount either lv_home or lv_root [06:18] reisio, how do I only mount one of them? [06:18] mount /dev/vg_somebody/lv_home /mnt/point, etc. [06:18] reisio, I don't want this format to affect my primary linux installation [06:18] poee: naturally [06:18] poee: which version of Windows are you installing? [06:19] reisio, "special device /dev/vg_somebody/lv_home does not xist" [06:19] reisio, Windows 8 64 bit, provided by manufacturer(Dell) [06:19] poee: ah, do you recall how many partitions it required? [06:19] floatingrain: look in /dev/mapper/* [06:19] reisio, No. When I got the computer, I pretty much wiped it clean and installed ubuntu [06:19] who is the german channel? [06:20] rednet: /msg alis list *ubunt*de [06:20] channel flood? [06:21] But anyway: so my situtation is I have Ubuntu on it's own partition, but when I boot I get an error about wubildr [06:21] poee: well I don't remember how many partitions Windows uses anymore, but it shouldn't be more than 3, so you shouldn't have to worry about primary vs not [06:21] poee: probably :) [06:21] poee: #windows would know for sure [06:21] All I need to sabotage is my SSH privat ekeys [06:21] I *need* the ssh private keys :/ [06:22] floatingrain: so are they not in /dev/mapper ? [06:22] reisio, /dev/mapper just has control which I don't know to do what with [06:22] it just has a file control but it's not a file and it's not a directory ?? [06:22] reisio, if worse comes to worse, I can have dell come in and reinstall it for me :D [06:22] floatingrain: Oh, this is a liveCD type thing? [06:22] Yeah, I'm on a liveUSB to recover my Ubuntu installation [06:23] floatingrain: You'll need to install lvm tools and bring up your logical volumes semi-manually. It's not difficult. Let me find you a link. [06:23] Flannel, but I think the difficult part would be getting the boot loader working ? [06:23] floatingrain: Not if you're just reading the drives as data. [06:23] floatingrain: You're installing lvm "on" the LiveCD [06:24] floatingrain: try this: lvchange -a y /dev/vg_somebody/lv_home [06:24] floatingrain: and then this again: mount /dev/vg_somebody/lv_home /mnt/point [06:24] YES [06:24] I MOUNTED [06:24] gj [06:24] isn't lvm fun? :p [06:25] It seems to be loading but I only see one directly, lost+found [06:25] What is that ? [06:25] Only 1 directory :( [06:25] mmm, either it's not done loading, or your data is in there [06:25] could be either [06:25] and I get permission denied when I try to look in it [06:25] reisio, ... [06:26] does ubuntu touch run on android devices? [06:26] supposed to when its done i belive. ;) [06:26] form4: I believe they keep a list in the /topic of -touch [06:26] !touch [06:26] Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [06:26] but if you replace the OS, it's not going to be an Android device anymore :p [06:27] yeah [06:27] floatingrain: umount it [06:27] OMG [06:27] I MOUNTED lv_root [06:27] AND MY FILES ARE THERE (I think) [06:27] heheh okay [06:27] some lvm magic [06:27] Where do I see my user directory? [06:27] floatingrain: /home/ [06:28] That's empty but again I just mounted and I'm not a user there [06:28] /usr/ has too many folders [06:28] /usr/ is something else [06:28] try umount'ing lv_home [06:28] oh, so lv_root doesn't have my user directory ? [06:28] probably not [06:28] lv_home probably has [06:28] :/ and lv_home is empty [06:28] it only has lost+found [06:28] it's probably not empty :) [06:28] how big is lost+found [06:28] but I don't see anything. [06:29] and it has finished loading. I can't access it, says permission denied. [06:29] umount them both and run vgscan --mknodes [06:30] can't umount, says it is mounted multiple times for home and says it's mounted over for root [06:32] ok tried it again and umounted [06:32] Found volume group "vg_somebody" using metadata type lvm2 [06:33] hi BTCOxygen === njalk_ is now known as njalkwork [06:34] floatingrain: umount :) === daniel is now known as Guest58480 [06:36] reisio, I umounted, here's what I get with vgscan [06:36] Found volume group "vg_somebody" using metadata type lvm2 [06:38] if I run a transmission client and in the preferences select enable web client, does that start a seperate daemon or connect to a preexisting running daemon? From what I have done it looks like it does not since when I enabled the client it did not connect to the running daemon on the pc but started a web client that ran within the tranmission-gt process [06:39] * floatingrain just wishes to be able to boot :( [06:39] How do I uninstall Wubi and tell ubuntu, hey, here's the partition, go mount yourself.. [06:39] or heck, how can I nab my ssh private keys? [06:39] and source code for my projects [06:40] floatingrain: was it encrypted? [06:41] nope [06:41] how to send video stream from ubuntu to TV wirelessly? [06:41] video/audio actually [06:41] karab44: with a wireless router or bluetooth emitter [06:41] You mean simple router? [06:41] how to configure that? [06:42] floatingrain: lsmod | grep dm [06:42] karab44: read the manual :) [06:42] I mean Remote desktop [06:42] reisio: you're telling me about DLNA server [06:42] reisio, What am I looking at? [06:42] your TV probably hasn't the software for that on its own, so you'd probably need to connect it to a computer [06:43] floatingrain: stuff, what's it say? [06:43] reisio, I got like 12 lines. [06:43] reisio: you think that 56inch Bravia 2012 is not well equipped? [06:43] floatingrain: dm-mod? [06:44] karab44: I think size, brand, and year aren't factors [06:44] So what do I need? [06:44] floatingrain: So, if you're in Ubuntu, and you've got LVM recognizing your setup, and you've mounted it, can't you just copy anything you want elsewhere? [06:44] karab44: i can do it with my Samsung TV's via upnp. or the various smart tv features [06:44] reisio, no, I see dm_crypt, a bunch of codecs, dm_multipaath, dm_mirror, dm_raid45, dm_log, dm_region_hash [06:44] Dr_Willis: mmm, samsung [06:44] floatingrain: can you sudo modprobe dm-mod? [06:44] karab44: you have to see wht 'smart' features your tv has. if not.. get a roku, or a raspberry pi. or one of those chromecast dongles. (if you can find one) [06:45] reisio, empty output [06:45] floatingrain: normal [06:45] Dr_Willis: So you got destkop image on your TV? or just.... DLNA streamserver? === BTCOxygen is now known as gribbIe === gribbIe is now known as BTCOxygen [06:46] karab44: yes to both.. I can hook the pc up to the tv. or i can use it as a dlna 'viewer' it also has the Plex channel so i can get to my UPNP servers from the tv. [06:46] reisio, ok, so how do I get it botting. gribbIe? [06:46] floatingrain: vgscan --mknodes; vgchange -a y [06:46] and it can play videos directly from the usb ports [06:46] floatingrain: then mount lv_root, then mount lv_home to where you mount root/home [06:46] I want to let's say make HDMI connection wirelessly without any specific designed routers for $200 on amazon [06:46] heyo! interesting situation, I have 2 pc's running xubuntu, the desktop runs 12.04, the notebook 13.04. The desktop has a pretty much steady connection to wireless internet, and I wish to share that to the desktop over bluetooth. They are both paired, but I'm having issue getting the internet to flow. [06:46] Dr_Willis: I got one of'm :) but my friend just got a newer one and his is fancier still [06:46] * reisio stabs :p [06:47] ntzrmtthihu777: you used desktop twice there [06:47] i cant even imagine whats fancier then what i got now.. Unless they put a full android os in the thing. :) [06:47] it's pathetic what the competition has [06:47] I think the LG TV next to the Samsung could play... [06:47] DivX in an AVI [06:47] the end [06:48] those Samsungs play anything, and let you watch youtube :p [06:48] reisio, done, but home only contains lost+found [06:48] i was very impressed with ubuntu's built in file sharing [06:48] and retailers don't know how to sell them [06:48] i remember doing samba in 2001 and it was a pain in the ass.. this just worked first time :D [06:48] they say the tv has a "computer port" (which really means: usb, and can play anything) [06:48] floatingrain: k, look in there [06:49] reisio, I can't, permission denied [06:49] I have a 8-core (4 g ram) machine running apache2 serving multiple websites, and load often peaks above 15.00, how to remedy this? [06:49] dexterity, optimize your scripts [06:50] dexterity: what does iowait look like? [06:50] dexterity: why's it so crazy.. cpu, memory or disk io? [06:50] crazyhorse: it dosent work for a lot of people. ;) [06:50] Dr_Willis: did for me.. but i was connecting from a mac so [06:50] crazyhorse: you could use nfs,or sshfs for that also i belive. [06:51] somsip, crazyhorse: I'm not sure what's the root cause. How can I find out? [06:51] Dr_Willis: so You can not use TV as PC Screen because this is what I am talking about. [06:51] reisio, lost+found is empty [06:52] dexterity: nginx [06:52] karab44: i plug my pc into the hdmi port.. and am using it right now as a PC monitor [06:52] no no no, wirelessly [06:52] hi [06:52] floatingrain: beyond my knowledge I'm afraid [06:52] helmut_: hi [06:52] reisio, isn't there a chkdsk I can run? :( [06:52] karab44: intel has a feature for that but its not common. [06:52] floatingrain: yeah [06:52] reisio: I would like to find out exactly what is wrong before changing webserver [06:52] floatingrain: umount, fsck [06:52] dexterity: look at what is causing the load. Could be CPU bound (look for CPU > 100%) or could be disk-bound (look for %wa). Other indicators are in top too. Is swap being used (shudder)? [06:52] Dr_Willis: what feature, pls tell me more... [06:53] dexterity: apache is old, that's part of what's wrong [06:53] dexterity: is it running mySQL too? [06:53] reisio, YES [06:53] karab44: no idea what intel calls it.. some sort of wireless hdmi feature on some of the their chipstes. can transmit to a monitor. or tv if it has the right hardware. theres also some sort of reciever box you can get for tvs [06:53] says it's clean [06:53] 11/2596864 files [06:54] Do I seriously have 2596k files?? [06:54] http://snaprails.tumblr.com/post/325624962/linux-performance-benchmark-apache-nginx [06:54] floatingrain: are they there? :p [06:54] receiver boxes are out of the game but I'll check up this intel's HDMI thing. Thanks bro [06:54] somsip: htop shows that swap is being used, but "free -m" shows that there's free memory (?) [06:54] reisio, I can't see the files through ls or natulius === njalkwork is now known as njalk [06:55] so anychance we will be able to run android apps in ubuntu? [06:55] crazyhorse: i think ive seen some android vms mentioned befor on the blog sites. [06:55] dexterity: I'd suggest that's the first thing to investigate as it will be a performance killer. But it can be the thin end of the wedge. Server tweaking is an ongoing process that goes on...and on...and on. Solving initial problems is usually not *too* onerous though [06:55] theres also the android x86 that works in vbox [06:56] Dr_Willis: nice.. ok.. i'll check it out [06:56] there's a ton of apps i can't run because they haven't made linux versions [06:56] but there are android versions [06:56] crazyhorse: thers that bluesstack thing for windows. i THINK they were working on a linux version at one time [06:57] * floatingrain blames ubuntu package manager for making me accidently install some upgrades [06:57] darn them for pushing out security updates! ;) [06:57] crazyhorse: there's a free android emulator you can run on GNU/Linux [06:57] this is the second time updates broke somethin [06:58] reisio: sweet.. does it work? [06:58] first time it broke my production server, couldn't boot [06:58] now it breaks my laptop .. [06:58] Dr_Willis: Intel calls it WiDi but I think solution still could be resolved by software. [06:58] crazyhorse: course [06:58] karab44: if your tv supported vnc, :) yes.. or somthing similer [06:58] karab44: but sending full HD video over that might be a bit hard [06:58] That's the point! [06:59] reisio: is that different from android-x86? [06:59] Is there anything I can do in GNU-GRUB? [06:59] you can do lots of things in grub.. if you got the grub skills. [07:00] Dr_Willis :/ === onekt2 is now known as onekt [07:00] but im not clear on what your whole problem is/was/ ;) been watching tv. [07:00] crazyhorse: don't know what android-x86 is, but I'm assuming it is, as the ordinary arch for android devices is arm [07:00] Android-86 is for Normal Intel/windows type hardware. ;) works ok on my netbook. [07:01] but not all android arm progrmas work on it from whta i recall. [07:01] Dr_Willis, I get the wubildr loader not found error when I boot suddendly, after updating some packages. I have ubuntu in /dev/sda6, divided into 3 logical volumes (swap, root, home). home is empty except for lost+found but fsck reports 2 million + files (?) [07:01] all I want is to boot back into Ubuntu. [07:01] no one, then? [07:01] floatingrain: i really have to wonder how you had wubi setup extra partions.. and a LVM.. i dident even think wubi could do that. [07:01] i have a working grub 2 now .. .been (just to give it a try) reading up on gfxboot [07:02] floatingrain: check where your /etc/fstab says home should be.. it could be on another partition. (that would be very weird also) [07:02] most android apps are just frontends to websites or repackagings of existing apps :p [07:02] Dr_Willis, I dunno! Is ther eany way I can make it skip wubi? [07:02] I'm booting through a liveUSB too btw [07:02] floatingrain: were YOU the one that installed this system? or someone else? [07:02] Dr_Willis, yes, I installed it, like a year ago. [07:03] floatingrain: you booted a cd/usb and installed that way? or ran some binary from inside windows? [07:03] apt-proxy gone. :( [07:03] floatingrain: beacuse wubi dosent do the kind of setup you have.. of course neiother does a normal install. [07:03] Dr_Willis, I have the wubi binary there. I think what I did was install through a liveusb through. Either way in C:/ubuntu/disks/root.dsk it's empty [07:03] Maybe the updates ASSUMED I'm using wubi just cause I have wubi binaries [07:03] floatingrain: but you Have a C:/ubuntu/disks/ ? [07:03] (on windows) [07:03] Dr_Willis, Yes. [07:03] But /dev/sda6 is ubuntu [07:04] the update manager wouldent see you had a wubi.exe on your c:/ as far as i know. [07:04] unable to locate package apt-proxy [07:04] well then I'm not sure what exactly broke it except I got a wubildr not found error. [07:04] and can't boot. [07:04] wubi dosent use grub either well it chain loads it from windows i think. [07:04] floatingrain: somthing on windows deleted your wubi files sounds like. [07:04] Dr_Willis, see, this is where it gets confusing. Dr_Wills: no [07:05] /dev/sda6 is ubuntu [07:05] You said you had no wubi files.. but had the wubi directory.. and its booting and saying it cant find the wubildr. that would be the wubi bootloader i would think [07:05] unless of course you have had 2 differnt installs on the system at the same time [07:06] I have placed wubildr on all my partitions. [07:06] All my partitions have wubildr copied there, and it still says not found. [07:06] floatingrain: Can you boot into windows? [07:06] and the windows loader loads that stuff i belive. so its looking in the wrong place. or been told some where else to look. (im guessing) [07:07] Wait a sec [07:07] I also have fedora [07:07] On my system. [07:07] hmmm [07:07] Fedora DOES use lvm by default as far as i recall. [07:07] wubi and ubuntu does not (that ive seen) [07:07] OK that is fedora, screw that [07:08] so it sounds like your wubi install was on the windows c:/ and got erased [07:08] Dr_Willis, I am pretty sure random files don't get erased. [07:08] or windows fscked it and moved it.. [07:08] Dr_Willis: another case of #wubi-fail [07:08] hi [07:08] floatingrain: with disk checking, ive seen files from all over a windows drive get erased [07:08] floatingrain: It does on windows. [07:09] i used ubuntu 13.04 and linuxmint 15 [07:09] floatingrain: When you have any anti-virus tools installed. [07:09] scan the windows hd looking for very large files. several GB in size.. that May be your wubi save/hd image file. [07:09] any linuxmint 15 users here ? [07:09] BTCOxygen, No anti virus. [07:09] if you find the file - you can mountit via the Loop feature of mount [07:09] Windows find largest files [07:09] hmmm [07:09] oops not google [07:09] nikitha: mint has its own support channels.. not here. [07:09] !mint > nikitha [07:09] nikitha, please see my private message [07:09] i had installed linuxmint 15 , wine , few of my apps still are with windows such as oracle etc, can install windows based oracle on wine of linuxmint ? [07:10] !wine > nikitha [07:10] !miunt [07:10] oops [07:10] !mint [07:10] Linux Mint is not a supported derivative of Ubuntu. Please seek support in #linuxmint-help on irc.spotchat.org [07:11] floatingrain: Do you have Microsoft Security Essentials ? [07:11] Dr_Willis, but why would I get wubildr not found if it was my root.disk missing [07:11] BTCOxygen, No, no anti virus. [07:11] Which version of windows do you have? [07:11] Win7 [07:11] floatingrain: perhaps wubildr is suposed to get read from that root.disk [07:11] hmm back to researching gfxboot ... most of the tutorials are based on grub 1 to Gfxboot ... i have grub 2 [07:12] IIRC, Some Microsoft anti-virus tool comes pre-Installed on Win7 [07:12] windows -> wubi -> grabs the kernel and stuff from the root.disk [07:12] xmetal: theres some grub2 variant that has all sorts of theme features. but i forget its name [07:12] my major priority now is to migration to linux and loss dependence of ms windows.... so i see linux and its dependent as one, i knew there are channels for differents tools , but i see linux as one. [07:12] xmetal: also grub2 has some features. but i think they are normally disabled by default [07:13] ok root.disk is empty I'll have to run chkdsk [07:13] nikitha: most distros have their own support channels. theres the general #linux channel also [07:13] hey folks, quick question: Ubuntu on phone is free of charge or required License!! [07:13] Hello penguins :] [07:14] thanks dr willis, i mean linux means any linux distros [07:14] So can someone tell me why Windows sometimes erases entire files? [07:14] true ..i feel that Mint and Ubuntu are "close enough" that many questions could be answered in either channel, though they (each distro) have their own channel [07:14] hard disk/file system curruption - disk gets scanned.. bad files get moved/deleted/moved to lost+foundor whever [07:14] cause it stinks? [07:14] nikitha: xmetal: to reiterate, this is Ubuntu support channel, Mint is not Ubuntu so it cannot be supported here [07:14] * xmetal shrugs [07:14] :) [07:15] windows gives them those nice names.. like found.0001 found.00003 [07:15] Ive had ENTIRE hard drives befome all 'found.####' files [07:15] i think thats how they get named.. ;) [07:15] thats exactly what i just said [07:15] kadd: Ubuntu is free ofcourse [07:15] sheesh [07:15] willis, what ever linux distros, major thing for me to shift to linux and loss my dependency on ms windows .... in gerenal i use windows 7, ms office, oracle 11g, d2k (forms and reports). for oracle and its products esp. for d2k i dependent on ms windows ... [07:16] love those "untitled" files too [07:16] floatingrain: It happens when you run chkdisk. [07:16] lol [07:16] Or have an Anti-virus installed. [07:16] BTCOxygen, i never ran chkdsk through I'm running it now [07:16] And I'm sure an anti virus will delete rather than empty a file [07:16] floatingrain: Maybe the anti-virus cleaned the file for you. [07:17] i could get linux based oracle 11g it is 2gb of download and i do have setups of oracle 11g based of mswindows, so i still dependent of windows. === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas- [07:17] Like remove the virus content from a file. === Abbas- is now known as Abbas5 [07:17] BTCOxygen, antiviruses don't do that, they move.

[07:18] floatingrain: Do you boot into Windows frequently ? [07:19] BTCOxygen, Very rarely. [07:19] hmm [07:19] Through it broke after booting into windows :/ [07:19] ahh [07:19] But then agani I don't restart it often [07:19] I usually suspend it, so I still suspect it may be an update :/ [07:19] Then windows did something to the files. [07:20] hm :( - my private keys.. [07:20] * floatingrain will look into file recovery programs [07:20] That might help. [07:21] ubuntu 12.04 lTS not getting Shutdown .. If im Shutting Down it , its Coming to Logon Screen Each and every time same issue , and if i used to shutdown it using terminal init 0 its Shuting Down [07:21] floatingrain: Why don't you remove windows and install Ubutnu without Wubi ? === andrex|off is now known as andrex [07:21] BTCOxygen, because believe it or not smoetimes I need to use windows.

[07:23] fedora :( [07:23] (i know a simple websearch would answer my question) [07:23] xmetal, apparently it installs linux as usual but as a file in your windows directory [07:23] floatingrain: http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/bootit-bare-metal.htm [07:23] wubi is best avoided like the black plague. === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [07:23] Dr_Willis, yeah. i won't use it when I upgrade [07:23] but I don't plan on upgrading till 12.04 LTS support wears off. [07:24] ok now i am confused [07:24] lol [07:24] wubi installs ubuntu inside a file on your c:/ that windows then can boot to get to a ubuntu setup [07:24] Do anyone know a good guide for putting nginx in front of an existing apache 2 configuration? [07:24] its VERY fragile. [07:24] is that "Lindows" still around?... i remember hearing about that on Techtv and how "just using "real linux" is better" YEARS AGO [07:25] again: I do not boot into windows. I boot into Ubuntu [07:25] xmetal: not been seen for ages by me [07:25] xmetal: they had to rename it to linspire [07:25] a simple dual boot would be easier [07:25] then windows with linux on the C:\ parititon [07:25] (if you ask mne) [07:25] -n [07:28] Hello [07:28] Hi Dr ltsampros!

[07:31] !find python-gst0.10 [07:31] Found: python-gst0.10, python-gst0.10-dbg, python-gst0.10-dev, python-gst0.10-rtsp === andrex is now known as andrex|off [07:31] ltsampros, in python-gst0.10-dev i guess [07:32] you missed the i386 I guess, [07:32] /set weechat.look.item_buffer_filter "⚑" [07:33] OerHeks: http://pastebin.com/jbpDDW8g [07:34] !find gnome3 [07:34] Found: gnome-session [07:34] !find kmess [07:34] Found: kmess, unity-webapps-facebookmessenger [07:34] !find python-gst0.10:i386 [07:34] Package/file python-gst0.10i386 does not exist in raring [07:35] !msgthebot [07:35] Please investigate with me only with "/msg ubottu Bot" or in #ubuntu-bots.

[07:36] OerHeks: default build instructions under a i386 chroot on a raring machine [07:36] hi [07:37] vas: hiyo [07:37] Does do-release-upgrade reinstall unity? [07:38] OerHeks: something is wrong with the dependencies [07:38] hey how to install software from cd or flashdrive [07:39] Hi. Synaptic keeps reloading and throwing up the same message. Can someone take a look and help me if there's a fix..? http://paste.opensuse.org/70691049 [07:39] Moony22, You mean does distro upgrade reinstall unity? [07:40] Yes it [07:40] The command do-release-upgrade [07:40] vas: what software? [07:40] Moony22, Are you trying to fix a broken setup, a upgrade installs the version in that release. [07:40] if broken though that is not a good option. [07:41] Wilee-nilee thank you [07:41] Wait unity is broken but I want to upgrade anyway [07:41] Moony22: so? :) depends on how its broken [07:41] yo [07:41] Moony22, I would fix your setup first you may have problems upgrades are from working systems. [07:42] i got some educational software in a cd, since i m new to linux or ubuntu...i donno how to install it [07:42] Wilee-nilee I think it is because I installed unity from the experimental certified ppa [07:42] vas: what's it called? [07:42] !ppapurge | moondog [07:42] moondog: To disable a PPA from your sources and revert your packages back to default Ubuntu packages, install ppa-purge and use the command: « sudo ppa-purge ppa:/ » – For more information, see http://www.webupd8.org/2009/12/remove-ppa-repositories-via-command.html [07:42] vas: you are refering to some windows software? [07:42] Moony22, Sorry that was for you [07:43] Wilee-nilee, I have used ppa purge but accidently cancelled it when it asked me if I wanted to continue [07:43] But now the ppa is gone although the unity from the ppa is still here === andrex|off is now known as andrex [07:44] Moony22, really well if it were me I would not rely on a upgrade to fix all this, but thats me, are you backed up? [07:44] ocooel: 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*.*' will probably do. Then load the sources again... 'sudo apt-get update' ... [07:44] I never upgrade anyway, but fresh install [07:44] or try removeing all of unity and reinstalling it.. but that may be a bit complex [07:45] no its a linux software..its some developed software for Linux,i donno name of it...they gave it in a unnamed cd? [07:45] Wilee-nilee I have just fresh installed raring but I decided to get saucy now [07:45] vas: look at the files on the cd. and hope they made it obvious what to do.. or included a readme file [07:45] So it will still be like a fresh install [07:46] Moony22, Its a development and on another channel, not supported here. [07:46] Yeah but I was just originally asking here about the command in general. [07:47] What channel by the way? [07:47] Moony22, Sure, I'm just making sure you understand the parameters and limitations. ;) [07:47] #ubuntu+1 is saucy [07:47] 大家好，我来自中国 [07:47] Alright, I guess before I ask you much :p [07:47] !cn | lvxiang [07:47] lvxiang: 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [07:48] Saucy Salamander brings up such... weird images. ;) [07:49] vas: talk in the channel.. and it totally depends on whats on the cd. === gavin__ is now known as gavinguo [07:49] vas: pastebin a listing of whats on the cd for the channel to see and check the apps homepage/support forums/guides/docs.. [07:53] dr_willis: there are folders like caspers ,install, isolinux ,preseed etx [07:53] do that mean anything? === Subo1977_ is now known as Subo1977 [07:54] means to me you really really should be reading the software's docs.. [07:54] since those things are often part of a live cd you boot. [07:55] sure i will do that thanku...:) [07:57] hi, I am trying to use MP3Blaster to play music, but it uses the wrong symbols, for example it uses the = instead of | for vertical line [07:57] axgb: do you mean when you press the keys the wrong symbols come up ? [07:57] Noone answers on ubuntu+1 [07:57] no, it justs uses incorrect symbols for the boarders [07:58] Does anyone know anything about saucy? [07:58] and also the volume buttons dont work [07:58] Moony22: need to just wait [07:58] But it is urgent [07:58] Moony22: it can't be [07:58] Yes because the output will go soon [07:59] I can't remember it [07:59] Let me write it [07:59] Moony22: then you just have to wait - write it down, take a screen shot, photograph it [07:59] Moony22: no, don't put it in here [08:01] minimec: Thank you!!! [08:01] minimec: I did still get this at the end of reloading sources - http://paste.ubuntu.com/6002035/ [08:02] I did it ikonia === johntash_ is now known as johntash [08:05] ocooel: Ok Then delete the files in the 'partial' directory too' [08:05] ocooel: 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*.*' [08:08] minimec: In this order - sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/partial/*.* - sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*.* - sudo apt-get update..? === vinay is now known as Guest12764 [08:10] ocooel: The order is not important. You could also 'sudo rm /var/lib/apt/lists/*'. That would delete * in the 'lists' folder, including the 'partial' folder. [08:11] hey [08:13] I have a question. What is it with Ubuntu future that many people talk about? some are even leaving ubuntu? [08:14] !ot | kim79 [08:14] kim79: #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! [08:14] minimec: Terminal is now saying I can't remove lists* or partial* as there is no such file or directory. [08:16] ocooel: Well... I fyou deleted all the package list files, then 'sudo apt-get update' again, to load the 'new' ones [08:16] minimec: This is bazaar - it's now working :-S [08:16] minimec: something must have been down. [08:17] Hi, if I stop webmin's service with: sudo stop webmin, will the iptables I configured with webmin firewall still be active? [08:18] esing: webmin is not available on ubuntu [08:18] <[Gentoo]> esing: check with iptables -L [08:18] esing: Yes [08:19] esing: where did you get webmin for ubuntu ? [08:19] esing: webmin isnt supported here, nor is it advised in ubuntu [08:19] okey sorry [08:20] hi, all CLI based programs do not work when I have the computer full screen command line mod [08:20] Good to know, thanks. I can still see the rules after I stopped the service in iptables -L [08:20] esing: where did you get webmin for ubuntu ? [08:21] vertical line changes to = [08:21] ikonia, I added these repos: http://download.webmin.com/download/repository sarge contrib http://webmin.mirror.somersettechsolutions.co.uk/repository sarge contrib [08:21] ikonia: They provide a repository [08:21] esing: that's debian === Abbas5 is now known as Abbas| [08:22] esing: what version of uubntu are you using that on ? [08:23] ikonia, I did cat /etc/debian_version , and then I followed the instruction for wheezy/lts 12.04 [08:23] ikonia, I use ubuntu server lts 12.04 [08:24] esing: that really can't be good [08:24] esing: can you post the output of uname -a please. [08:25] 3.2.0-51-generic #77-Ubuntu SMP Wed Jul 24 20:18:19 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux === arunprasad_away is now known as arunprasadr [08:25] esing: and you're using wheezy packages against that ? [08:26] (I know they say it's compatible, I'm reading the docs now) === klein2 is now known as dieta [08:27] ikonia, I only used webmin's wheezy repo [08:28] The other repos in /etc/apt/sources.list are all precise repos [08:28] esing: I understand that, it's just a bit worry that it's a sloppy process, on a product already filled with security holes, very concerning [08:29] !webmin [08:29] webmin is no longer supported in Debian and Ubuntu. It is not compatible with the way that Ubuntu packages handle configuration files, and is likely to cause unexpected issues with your system. [08:29] Is there a good alternative for webmin on ubuntu? [08:30] hi, when I have full screen command line open, it uses incorrect symbols [08:30] for cli programs, for example, it replaced the vertical line with = [08:31] and the horizontal line gets replaced with a L shaped symbol [08:31] !ebox | esing [08:31] esing: zentyal is a web-based GUI interface for administering a server. It is designed to work with Ubuntu/Debian style configuration management. See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Zentyal (Project formally known as eBox - including in Lucid/10.04). [08:31] esing: or use SSH, like good admins do [08:31] ikonia, Also if I stop webmin's service and the iptables I configured with webmin persist, then I would have avoided any security holes from webmins server? === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [08:32] esing: hard to say, as webmin can set up services very poor - so stopping the service won't undo the config it's put in place [08:32] ActionParsnip, With ssh you mean configuring it with just "sudo iptables ..."? [08:32] hi. is there any way to take away permissions to write to specific files in user's home directory? chmod 444 file didn't work [08:32] <[Gentoo]> esing: maybe you need to read up on some stuff [08:33] helixp: if they are not the file owner [08:33] esing: yea, like its supposed to be done [08:33] Good to know, thanks [08:34] is it safe to delete /home/xfy/.local/Trash folder ? [08:34] <[Gentoo]> ffio: yes [08:34] helixp: chmod -w username file use sudo if the file is not owned by your user and you are tweaking another user;s data [08:34] ffio: if you install trash-cli you can run: trash-empty === CyberJacob|Away is now known as CyberJacob [08:35] [Gentoo]: ok [08:35] ActionParsnip: weired thing is that my trash can is empty but still it shows the files in that folder. [08:36] ActionParsnip: after doing trash-empty the files are still there. [08:37] <[Gentoo]> ffio: does manually deleting them as user work? [08:40] [Gentoo]: while deleting manually its taking a long time and yet the files are to be deleted. [08:40] <[Gentoo]> im pretty sure Trash is supposed to be in .local/share/Trash [08:40] <[Gentoo]> not .local/Trash unless its different [08:41] !trash [08:41] Your GUI file manager's Trash folder is located at ~/.local/share/Trash/ for files moved to trash from your hard disk and .../.Trash-userid/ on external devices for files moved to trash from the device. [08:41] Hey I'm looking to backing up some databases and files nightly, I was thinking what I want is a cron job? [08:41] <[Gentoo]> maybe the program is looking in the wrong place [08:41] Do you recommend to also configure iptables for my local system, though there's a router with a firewall between the local system and the internet? [08:41] [Gentoo]: Spot on according to the factoid === io is now known as noooooooooooooob [08:41] <[Gentoo]> ffio: thats probably it then [08:41] it's there in .local/share/Trash [08:41] Skizu: Write a script that does exactly what you want, and then set up a cron job to run it nightly [08:41] <[Gentoo]> ffio: ah ok [08:41] blazemore: I bash script is it called? [08:41] What to do when tcp port is in use(aka i can't bind to it) but nothing is using that port (atleas netstat doesn't show anything)? [08:42] Skizu: Yes just a list of commands [08:42] it's occupying more than 20 GB of data [08:42] !sudo | arti If the port is <1024 you need to be root to do it [08:42] arti If the port is <1024 you need to be root to do it: sudo is a command to run command-line programs with superuser privileges ("root") (also see !cli). Look at https://help.ubuntu.com/community/RootSudo for more information. For graphical applications see !gksu (GNOME, Xfce), or !kdesudo (KDE). If you're unable to execute commands with sudo see: http://www.psychocats.net/ubuntu/fixsudo [08:42] hi, can i disable global menu from auto hiding ? i use ubuntu 13.04 [08:42] port is 10666 so it should work without sudo [08:43] and sudo doesn't help [08:43] noooooooooooooob: It is currently not possible [08:43] blazemore: Say I've multiple databases (mysql) what would be the easiest thing to do? Make a backup users with read access to all databases and then some how dump everything it has access to?

[08:58] arti: If it didn't say anything it means it worked [08:58] blazemore, port is still in use [08:59] What does awk and hostname do in ssh? [08:59] Skizu: awk is a program [09:00] Skizu: hostname is the name of the system you want to connect to [09:00] hello, even if I boot native or with VMware, I find things not crisp and clear in Ubuntu. What is the best setting for fonts in Ubuntu?

And is it an ntfs partition? Can you please pastebin your /etc/fstab file ?

[09:05] Xentinel: You need to make sure the mount-point is accesible by more than just root [09:05] Skizu: It needs read permissions on files it is going to back up, and write permission to the backup location [09:06] blazemore: Sorry, mysql user [09:06] Skizu: It needs read permission on the databases it is going to back up [09:06] Is there a #mysql channel?

If I use the Adwaita Gnome3 default theme [09:35] I have an old ubuntu 12.04 live usb, my ram has errors on it, i was wondering if the ubuntu kernel on the live usb already has the bad ram patch designed to ignore the ram errors, since i am gonna have to bypass the bad ram areas using memtest and grub memmap options. [09:38] skyroverr, does memtest always show the same ram addresses are bad? seems a lot of work [09:40] compdoc, at times, yes. [09:41] But there are around more than 100 errors that memtest detects... [09:42] skyroverr, on some ram, written on the sticker, you need to set the voltage higher than normal. if you dont, you can get random failuers [09:42] failures [09:42] what's the commadn we use to check the details of our hardware, i don't remember exactly it was something like lspci [09:42] Um [09:42] ffio: hwinfo/lspci/lsusb [09:43] Oh yes, that one. [09:43] And dmesg too. [09:43] ffio: sudo lshw | less [09:43] Wireless not working in ubuntu 12.04 lTS [09:44] babinlonston: laptop? [09:44] yes laptop Sony vaio [09:44] babinlonston: what chip? [09:44] thanks DJones ActionParsnip :) [09:44] compdoc, my main question is tht does the ubuntu kernel on that usb has that bad ram patch? [09:45] gvo its worked morning and now its not working now [09:45] Hi [09:45] babinlonston: please give more information place [09:45] skyroverr, no idea. Ive never tried to map out bad ram. its best to buy good ram and forget about it [09:45] babinlonston: do, sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r) [09:46] compdoc, err, that wasn't the answer i was looking for, but thanks anyways. === Guest71349 is now known as jan1337zZz [09:47] skyroverr, does the ram require a higher voltage? [09:47] [09:47] streulma: 3.2.0-23-generic === matthew is now known as Guest6750 [09:48] compdoc, its an old ddr2 5300 running on 1.8V. [09:48] babinlonston: do my command in a terminal === Guest6750 is now known as mjayk [09:48] streulma: today morning its works and after a update and ugrade its not working [09:48] sounds normal voltage [09:48] yes command in a terminal and hearder already have the latest version and not installed now [09:48] Yeah. [09:49] babinlonston: Does it work when you boot from an older kernel? [09:49] Not tried [09:49] babinlonston: try, sudo apt-get install dkms [09:49] Also, check there's not a hardware switch on the laptop to enable/disable wireless [09:50] streulma: installed [09:50] babinlonston: what it did? installed some things and probed dkms with kernel ? [09:50] blazemore: its Enabled in Laptop [09:51] babinlonston: When you say it's not working, are there any networks showing up in network manager? [09:51] compdoc, ddr2 modules r a scarce resource these days, hence i asked about the bad ram patch.. :) anyways, thanks. [09:51] no just installed [09:51] yes its showingup in network manager sir [09:51] babinlonston: So what happens when you try to connect to your network? [09:52] I have 2 domains pointing to my server, I have apache installed and it listens to port 80, is it possible to redirect the second domain to another port BEFORE the request is catched by apache? [09:52] skyroverr, I have a bunch of ddr2. maybe I can get rich selling them on ebay [09:52] bibi23: You could use something like nginx [09:52] bibi23: why do you want to do that ? [09:52] bibi23: But you do need a web server to parse the HTTP header [09:52] in All Settings there is Network in that if i click on ON under Wireless , its Switching back to off not stable [09:52] babinlonston: I assume you've powercycled at least once. [09:52] compdoc, hahahaha! [09:53] ya its already 3 times did [09:53] Bye! [09:53] ikonia: I want to use node.js for the second website, there is no need for a webserver with node.js, the program directly listen to a specific port [09:53] babinlonston: I'd be tempted to remove network manager and install wicd. That's what worked for my old compaq that wouldnt work on 12.04 [09:54] oh then what can i do to work [09:54] ikonia: but I don't want the website to be accessed with "http://www.website.com:3000" for ex. [09:54] bibi23: you could try re-directing it with iptables using the target domain as a pattern match [09:54] babinlonston: sorry? [09:54] well [09:54] oh [09:54] bibi23: could you not re-direct it internally within apache, eg: mod-rewrite, and a namebased virtual server ? [09:54] How can i make it to work [09:55] babinlonston: I don't understand the question. I just removed network manager and installed wicd. [09:56] babinlonston: That may or may not fix your problem, but it did for me. [09:56] ok going to reformat [09:56] thanks sir [09:56] ikonia: yes I think so, as it's an unneeded step I wanted to do it before apache, is it complicated to do this with iptables? [09:56] reformat? Drastic [09:57] bibi23: not complicated, but you have to get the rule/pattern match clear [09:58] babinlonston, with Ubuntu version are you using ? [09:58] arggg, bad English for me today :( === jan1337zZz is now known as jan1337z [09:58] streulma: its ubuntu 12.04 LTS [09:58] babinlonston: 12.04 [09:58] yes [09:59] babinlonston, is the notebook new?

[09:59] hi [10:00] bibi23: may I ask why you want to do this before apache, as the name-based-virtual-host and mod-rewrite is pretty much exactly what this is situation was made for [10:00] hi [10:00] hi [10:00] hi reisio and ikonia :) [10:00] hi :) [10:00] pl [10:00] ;) [10:00] hi [10:00] hey.. ive jumped out to tty after my unity frozen on me. Is there some trick to make it come back i could try? [10:01] streulma: oh its new na so what [10:01] streulma: it stopped working. babinlonston did you update the software before the network card quit working? [10:01] karlw: sudo service lightdm restart [10:01] karlw alt arrow left [10:01] yes i updated [10:01] sped test? [10:01] Monkey: That didnt do it [10:01] speed test? [10:02] blaze ill try that [10:02] So is this the time line? wifi working; update software; wifi not working ?? [10:02] try again:D [10:03] ikonia: because this would do like 2 webservers chained, even though I don't have high traffic constraints it feels like it's not optimal [10:03] babinlonston: So is this the time line? wifi working; update software; wifi not working ?? [10:03] bibi23: it's not two web servers chained, that's the whole point [10:03] bibi23: it's one apache instance - one binary, one memorg segment [10:03] ah ok [10:03] bibi23: thats why I'm suggesting it's better to do it at the apache level rather than before as it's all internal, logged, smooth and clean [10:03] oh ah [10:04] apache server? [10:04] karlw: sudo service lightdm restart as root?? [10:05] gvo: i have updated using Ethernet not using wireless , While im checking Wireless at morning its worked fine , And now its not working [10:05] hmm net bios? [10:05] babinlonston: Did you try rebooting into an older kernel [10:05] ikonia: ok you're right, I'll configure apache for this, apparently it's not recommanded to use iptables for this situation http://serverfault.com/questions/337380/how-to-redirect-request-for-specific-domain-to-a-specific-web-application-listen [10:05] Tonyo: can you please stop just saying random workds. [10:05] Tonyo: Do you have an Ubuntu support question? [10:05] ikonia speah pl? [10:05] blazemore: no [10:05] bibi23: iptables will work fine - but, I do think apache will do this much better and cleaner [10:06] babinlonston: So did it work before you did the update and then stop working after the update? [10:06] blazemore: ill try and let you know [10:06] gvo: yes [10:06] ok thx ikonia [10:06] babinlonston: So the update probably screwed it up. Try blazemore's suggestion.

Just remember to boot an old kernel or set grub to boot from it. [10:12] ok sure [10:12] how to set in grub ? in grub.conf ?

[10:15] *call [10:15] gvo: oh fine [10:15] blazemore, yeah actually I realized that I must first "add" that mode [10:19] blazemore, so that's where I'm stuck now. [10:19] jubei: type "cvt 800 600 60" [10:20] jubei: replace 800, 600 and 60 with your horizontal and vertical resolution, and refresh rate [10:20] Then copy the information after the word "Modeline" into the xrandr command: [10:20] $ xrandr --newmode "800x600_60.00" 38.25 800 832 912 1024 600 603 607 624 -hsync +vsync [10:20] blazemore, I've done all that === hoffman is now known as th1a [10:21] blazemore, but when I try to add the mode to DVI-I-1 (my output).. it fails [10:21] jubei: Do you get an error?

[10:41] Add a cronjob ._. [10:41] To your local machine? [10:41] so why don't you just contab -e and add it [10:41] Skizu: I don't understand why you think you need ssh. Do you know what ssh is?

Try asking #irssi, you might not need to use trickle at all [10:50] blazemore: irssi has no bandwidth cap by default.

The shell that you have open is not the same one where the crontab runs. It won't go to your screen. [13:11] ah i see [13:12] so if i wanted to run a script for example, it runs in the background? [13:12] seanzky: yes. [13:12] ah! that makes sense. [13:12] if i wanted it to open a terminal window, how would i do that?

Iptables are still empty on startup [16:27] but you're saying that's ok? [16:27] senan: what is the output of: cat /etc/issue [16:27] ActionParsnip : 13.04 64 bit [16:27] senan: https://launchpad.net/~makson96/+archive/fglrx [16:27] blazemore, even the latest Ubuntu? so I can run it cd/dvd to RAM?

[16:30] ActionParsnip, If I run /etc/rc.local manually with cd /etc;./rc.local the iptables are then restored again. So from bash this works, but somehow it isn't loaded on startup [16:30] so why the african name? [16:30] CLG: Why is Windows called windows [16:30] sideone: share the folder and authenticate in samba, you will then get access. Or use SFTP given using openssh-server and copy the file securely when you need [16:30] Its a name. End of story [16:30] CLG it's south african, means 'I am because we are' or so [16:30] mark shuttleworth is South African [16:30] esing: the command will run at boot, you didn't need to cd to /etc , just run: sudo /etc/rc.local [16:31] lets focus on technical support in here. [16:31] esing: did you add the line above the 'exit 0' line [16:31] Yes, above exit 0 [16:31] CLG: why are you so tied up in what is african and what isn't? why is it so very important?

[17:31] Felishia: That isn't helpful [17:31] guru_, what do you mean "run faster"? do you mean using a light weight DE? [17:31] guru_ picked up these tips on this channel http://ubuntuone.com/7D0HdIh1JYCAMwAFds8h1i [17:31] not really. I want programs run and load faster [17:32] I have a pentium 4 3ghz computer and with 4gb ram [17:32] DJones, it's just that the problem was solved, someone told me to add hda-Intel (some string like that) in a file from the alsa configuration [17:32] guru_ install compiling and not by deb files [17:32] Get yourself a faster cpu with more memory.

[18:12] but now, when i try to add the printer [18:12] tsongki, So yeah it looks like fuse does not support exfat. Is there a special reason you need it because ext4 appears to be a better choice in my opinion. [18:12] kll raring wingworm 13.04 [18:12] tsongki: did you run a "apt-get update" to refresh the sources? [18:12] it asks me to select a brand and a model, but the model isn't listed [18:12] nope well i should try k1l [18:13] k1l, Good spot on that I had to re-read it to see that he did not. lol [18:14] Hello; I have a question about transfering environments from one Ubuntu computer to another when one is x64 and one is x86. (1) Will exporting a package list from the 64 to the 86 break anything? (2) Will moving settings files from /etc or /usr/share break anything? (3) Do the Ubuntu versions have to be the same? [18:16] MoPac, x86 does not support x64 packages so yes going from x64 to x86 would mess things up, however going from x86 to x64 would not. [18:17] lonewulf85: so the package list is specific to the architecture and the distro, right? The target comp wouldn't just find the equivalent package for its arch? [18:17] yey! it worked! thanks guyz i really appreciated it. well mounting exfat is be done manually. But it worked nice [18:17] thanks lonewulf85 and k1l [18:17] thumbs up for the both of you lol [18:18] help me here guys, if i select the generic driver for the printer, it then reccomends me to select "text-only", there are a bunch of PCL and PostScript and RAW Queue options, i don't know which one to select. i don't want it to print just text, i want it to print anything [18:18] MoPac: it should work. the package list will mostly be stuff like "nmap" without the architecture on it [18:18] MoPac, It might but I have only gone from x86 to x64 and it worked. I have not tried to go from x64 to x86 you could try aptoncd that might work. [18:19] ! aptoncd [18:19] APTonCD is a tool with a graphical interface which allows you to create one or more CDs or DVDs with all of the packages you've downloaded via apt-get or aptitude, creating a removable repository that you can use on other computers - See also !offline [18:19] I have a server containing some websites, over the time I installed packages as they were needing some, made configurations and so... now I'm wondering, if tomorrow I switch to a new server (eg. more powerful server) I'll have to try to remember everything and set it up again, is there a way to avoid this? how can I store and manage os settings needed by a website? [18:20] Hello. I have a bash script with a command like " eval nohup command& >> nohup.out". When I run this script manually: no problem, nohup.out contain the comments. When I run via cron (*/1 * * * * script.sh >> log), nohup.out contain nothing but the comments are (partially) put into the log file of the cron job. Anyone have an idea of my error? Thanks in advance. [18:20] Ben64: lonewulf85: To be more specific, do you think I would break things by following the steps at http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/new-computer-old-os-how-to-migrate-linux-between-machines/ break the target? [18:22] Ben64: lonewulf85: (That guide says to get a txt of packages and then sudo dpkg --set-selections < /home/[your user name]/packagelist.txt. [18:22] MoPac: should work, or you can use the software center to sync two computers' packages [18:22] Ben64: unfortunaetely software center sync is broken [18:23] no it isn't [18:23] Ben64: Also, on a side note, I can't find any documentation on account security for software center sync [18:23] I need some help, I just started using ubuntu and I was having a problem with the driver for the video card, so I changed it to the proprietary driver and now I do not have access to my launcher nor the user bar, how do I fix this? [18:23] Ben64: *broken for me [18:23] well sounds like you have other problems going on [18:23] Ok, what should I do? === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [18:24] Ben64: My problem is not uncommon, but I'd prefer a non-software-center solution anyway, since I can't find documentation for it [18:24] axxa: Can you successfully login to your user account? [18:24] @MoPac yes [18:25] 2 [18:25] If my apt-get update command blocks while attempting to connect to us.archive.ubuntu.com, from how high a window do I need to throw my computer? [18:25] MoPac, I see it is meaning to transfer everything. Going from the x64 arch to the x86 one might cause instability in the os. but transferring of user files would not have any negative affect. [18:27] lonewulf85: I'm more concerned about the list of packages that the target should install and about the settings files for the programs I already have -- like my Firefox extensions, KVIrc server configuration, Tor config file, etc [18:27] axxa: So when you log in, what do you see? [18:28] lonewulf85: It seems like some of that lives in /home, some in /usr, and some in /etc, and I can't really make sense of what can be copied over and what can't [18:29] MoPac, I believe that it all can be copied over. [18:29] MoPac, the only thing is if they are setup on individual partitions then you need to also set them up that way on the new system. [18:30] Ben64: FYI - apparently it's broken. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/software-center/+bug/1179903 [18:30] Launchpad bug 1179903 in software-center (Ubuntu) "Unable to sync between computers" [Critical,Confirmed] [18:32] lonewulf85: My situation is more like this: I have an x64 computer that is my main, and an x86 as a backup. The x86 already has Ubuntu inistalled, and my user files are copied. But what I'd really like to do is transfer all my program settings instead of having to set up the environment from scratch, without reinstalling Ubuntu [18:32] The bonus complication is that the main computer is on Raring and the backup on Saucy right now, but that difference will disappear soon [18:32] axxa: You still with us? [18:32] MoPac, does the backup pc already have the same programs? [18:33] yes just trying to figure out how IRCs work [18:33] lonewulf85: Nope, I was hoping to have to avoid making a catalogue of them, figuring out which extra repos they come from, figuring out which had compatible saucy or x86 versions, etc [18:34] lonewulf85: So it looked like I could just export a package list and copy ancillary settings files, like hidden files from /home,, but I came here when I realized that the archi [18:34] tecture might make a problem [18:34] MoPac, I just recommend using aptoncd you can save it to a usb and it would work faster. [18:35] axxa: log in to your user account, are you able to pull up a terminal window? (ctrl-alt-T) [18:35] package aptoncd [18:35] @MoPac the terminal is how I've been running everything [18:36] MoPac, Yeah you just need that on both systems and then run it on both and all programs will be copied then just copy and paste the appropriate files to the appropriate places and you should be golden.

[19:59] Hi. can anyone recommend a keyboard layout changing application to use with i3wm? [20:00] robcsi: setxkbmap? [20:00] guzzlefry: most OSs have screen magnifiers as part of their accessibility packages [20:01] reisio: Yes, I have tried it, but it's a bit too cumbersome to use, since it does not display anything in the status bar [20:01] guzzlefry: get ccsm and turn on the zoom plugin [20:01] best magnifier you'll ever find on any OS [20:02] how to stop monitor going black === neptune is now known as Guest30246 [20:02] im using ubuntu 12.4 [20:02] reisio: I'd also like to have a list of the language layouts I have set up [20:02] Guest30246: /msg ubottu nomodeset [20:02] robcsi: ah [20:02] where abouts [20:03] guzzlefry: "zoom" in system setings/Universal access is not good enough?

[20:22] johnrb: did you have server edition networking configured first? [20:22] johnrb: if you installed the desktop afterwards its the /etc/network/interfaces who did the networking in the first place. if so the NetworkManager doesnt do any networking for that devices [20:23] yeyes i did [20:23] johnrb: in that case I' just ignore network manager [20:23] is it ok just to press the reboot button on the tower [20:23] ok can i get rid of that in the toolbar or can i make that handle the connection from now on either or is fine [20:24] nocturnal: it's not ideal, but should be alright [20:24] lol i just hate the empty wifi icon [20:24] nocturnal: can you run 'shutdown -h now'? [20:24] nocturnal: or 'reboot'? [20:24] I dont see reboot in the top [20:24] johnrb: if you want to stay with your desktop on the server you can comment out the device entries in the /etc/network/interfaces [20:24] hi, any idea how I can keep networkmanager or whatever from changing my resolv.conf? I always need 127.0.0.1 first. I shut off dnsmasq but arent sure if theres a way to put the dns from the dhcp server into resolv.conf also. [20:25] and then net-manager will handle it? [20:25] ok great [20:25] johnrb: yes [20:25] thanks guys [20:26] it wont corrupt anything hitting the reboot button on the tower as long as it isnt say installing updates [20:26] johnrb: just leave lo active in there [20:26] k [20:27] ill bbl [20:28] tomasm-: you can manually set the nameservers to use in your network manager connection profiles. so you could always set 127.0.0.1 there, and optionally other (fixed) nameservers. [20:28] histo: nothing [20:29] i guess the other option is not to use NM [20:30] tomreyn: well this is for wireless so I need the dns set from the dhcp client, so i can access the authentication webpage [20:31] tomasm-: wireless with captive portal? you could possibly have two profiles, one to use before captive portal authentication and one for afterwards. [20:32] tomreyn: how? no idea. [20:32] hi [20:33] hi [20:33] tomasm-: actually an even easier is probably to to set a fixed hostname pointing to the fixed ip address (if so) of the captive portal in your /etc/hosts but use 127.0.0.1 as a nameserver in the NM profile. [20:33] reisio: hi [20:34] tomreyn: no this is public wireless in various networks.... the authentication page will vary by ip, depends [20:35] I have "127.0.0.1" prepended according to /etc/dhcp/dhclient.conf, but I would like dhcp to have it's dns servers put into /etc/resolv.conf also === Guest64655 is now known as Freeaqingme [20:37] I have 12.04, why does the dhcp based dns servers not get listed in resolv.conf? it only ever says 127.0.0.1 === puff` is now known as puff === jan1337zZz is now known as jan1337z === jan1337z is now known as Jan === Jan is now known as Guest65502 [20:40] tomasm-: i dont' know how to do this. check the hook scripts in /etc/dhcp/*.d [20:40] igw3: take a look at /var/log/syslog [20:40] histo: kk [20:44] Any Steam users online today?

[20:47] 12.04 michael ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL [20:47] does not allow me to run programs with no password [20:47] yeah, but I'm not sure where to put Steam support related questions. either here, or in #ubuntu-steam [20:48] My game controller keeps giving me a hard time. [20:48] Howdy all, I just recently received an kernel update and it shows I have two more updates in the form of: Generic Linux kernel headers and Generic Linux kernel image. On Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS yet for some reason it won't let me checkmark the Important Updates. [20:49] HomelessSanta: Install those updates first, reboot, and then try installing the Important Updates again. [20:49] I am running Ubuntu, but don't use Gnome/Unity/KDE/etc. Virtually all of the Ubuntu documentation references things like 'System -> Administration -> Disk Utility'. Is there any rational method to figure out what command line command that corresponds to? [20:49] Burrdy, Too late and before hand it wouldn't let me checkmark those updates previously. [20:49] huh? that's weird. [20:50] I tried using sudo apt-get update thinking that would fix the issue in some way. [20:50] pmitros: probably not just 1 utility, rather a collection of utilities [20:50] pmitros: Better yet just use the Ubuntu Server guide instead [20:50] have you tried 'sudo apt-get -V --fix-missing --force-yes --simulate dist-upgrade' ?? [20:50] A more visual appearance of the issue: http://imgur.com/riPbmSp [20:50] HomelessSanta: to install new pakcages (which is required for new kernels) do apt-get dist-upgrade [20:51] genii: Most of the documentation I look for isn't in a guide. It's on one of the many wikis. [20:51] k1l, Wouldn't that upgrade Ubuntu? Which I don't want to do. [20:51] HomelessSanta: no, that will not bring you to 12.10 [20:51] Burrdy, Was that towards me? [20:51] pmitros: what are you trying to accomplish? [20:51] oh you're using the Quantal stack? [20:51] yeah [20:51] it was [20:51] !dist-upgrade | HomelessSanta [20:51] HomelessSanta: A dist-upgrade will install new dependencies for packages already installed and may remove packages if they are no longer needed. This will not bring you to a new release of Ubuntu, see !upgrade if that is your intention. [20:52] k1l, But I want to stay at 12.04.2 I'm lost. [20:52] HomelessSanta: it lets you stay at 12.04 [20:52] *12.04.2 [20:52] HexChat: 2.9.5 ** OS: Linux 3.5.0-37-generic x86_64 ** Distro: Ubuntu "precise" 12.04 ** CPU: 8 x Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz (GenuineIntel) @ 800MHz ** RAM: Physical: 15.7GB, 94.2% free ** Disk: Total: 57.6GB, 84.9% free ** VGA: NVIDIA Corporation D9840-60001 [Brio BA410 Motherboard] ** Sound: HDA-Intel - HDA Intel PCH1: HDA-Intel - HDA NVidia ** Ethernet: [20:52] JMicron Technology Corp. JMC250 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller ** Uptime: 8m 1s ** [20:52] Yes it's using the Quantal Stack on Ubuntu 12.04.2. [20:53] it will _not_ upgrade to 12.10 . the command to upgrade to 12.10 would be "do-release-upgrade". [20:53] MercX: I am following the instruction here: "http://askubuntu.com/questions/16988/how-do-i-install-ubuntu-to-a-usb-key-without-using-startup-disk-creator" But I run into this issue all the time. I'd like to pull up one GUI utility from the Ubuntu GUI to configure something. 70% of the time I can find the name of the commandline by Googling. 30% of the time, I'm lost. [20:53] OK, I'll try it otherwise if it does I'll more or less reinstall. [20:54] By the way, has anyone solved the problem with Steam Big Picture Mode and the Mouse and game controllers not getting along with each other?? My mouse pointer freaks out every time I plugin my game controller. Disabling the touchpad doesn't seem to do anything. [20:54] This is what I get when I used that command k1l: The following packages have been kept back: [20:54] linux-headers-generic-lts-quantal linux-image-generic-lts-quantal [20:54] 0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 2 not upgraded. [20:54] MercX: Specifically, I'm trying format a USB stick, and it's a bit finicky about how it is formatted. I'd like to just check all of the boxes the same way they have in the guide, rather than manually formatting it and having a small chance of messing up (since if I do it wrong, most likely the failure will be that it doesn't boot -- and then it's very hard to figure out which step it failed on) [20:54] how do you highlight someone's name again? it's been a while since i used IRC [20:55] Burrdy, Use the tab key when you enter a few letters. [20:55] Depends on the IRC client you're using too. [20:55] XChat [20:55] Yes, tab key should work. [20:55] Type: Home than tab and see if it works. [20:56] HomelessSanta: if even a "sudo apt-get update &&sudo apt-get dist-upgrade" doesnt work its maybe because the depencies from that packages are not up to date (so far) on that mirror-server or there are still packages to be pushed to the server [20:56] HomelessSanta, testing [20:56] Burrdy, Works. [20:56] MercX: I just found 'gnome-disks' by Googling (nth link; the name changed), but if there's some file somewhere that maps Ubuntu menus to commands, it would save me hours with how often this comes up. [20:56] yay! =D [20:56] k1l, I'll give that a try. [20:56] pmitros: if you are using know look at gparted to format and partition [20:57] HomelessSanta, do you play Steam games in Big Picture Mode? [20:57] k1l, To no luck the command still doesn't solve the issue oh boy what a day. [20:57] HomelessSanta: then just give the servers and devs some time to fix it [20:57] Burrdy, Never tried to my lack of SSD space keeps me from doing much only an 80GB SSD don't know why I opted for it. [20:57] k1l, No doubt will do. [20:57] pmitros: not sure if this would work but you could just dd the iso right to the usb stick? [20:58] Burrdy, Pure Ubuntu on this. [20:58] MercX: I can figure out this specific instance of the problem. The general problem is I'd like to know how to go from a name in an Ubuntu menu to a filename I can use on the command line. [20:58] I'ma see if there is a workaround either way k1l just in case. === Companion is now known as companion === AndrewBarber is now known as Guest90901 [20:58] HomelessSanta, Mkay, no problem. :-) [20:58] MercX: It's probably in some config file, but I don't know which one. [20:59] HomelessSanta: i dont see why you just cant wait some time? [20:59] i'll check with #ubuntu-steam [20:59] k1l, I'll wait at the same time I got no issue waiting just might be a fix around I appreciate the help though. :) === AndrewBa1ber is now known as AndrewB [21:03] help [21:03] hey guys, i ocaasionaly run "chmod o-x /" [21:03] an dnow i am locked out [21:03] please help me [21:04] Sten_: You broke your system, since you cant log in anymore.

[21:20] lmnsqshr: it seems to be ok [21:21] however still no boot [21:22] I have a /tmp folder which contains a unique file. How can I get the name of that file or the full path ? [21:22] what error message are you getting? [21:22] Sten_, [21:23] lmnsqshr: i have broken it all somehow [21:23] shit [21:23] lmnsqshr: [21:23] Sten_, yeah but what happens after grub? [21:23] Sten_, does grub even start? [21:23] lmnsqshr: yes [21:23] lmnsqshr: it shows me low graphics mode [21:23] Sten_, that's a good sign :) you didn't broke too much [21:24] lmnsqshr: oh it seems that i fixed it [21:24] Sten_, well done ;) [21:24] lmnsqshr: recovery mode - root - o+x / [21:24] lmnsqshr: i do wonder why i am coming into recovery console so easily [21:25] I had no idea ubuntu came with a recovery console :D As I said, I'm not a ubuntu user === ziprar is now known as zipace [21:27] hi^^ [21:27] hi [21:27] i would like to ask where i can find nvidia geforce 9600 driver? [21:27] Sten_, I'm surprised you fixed a huge issue like that with a simple command [21:28] Sten_, many years ago I did the same mistake typing in "chmod -R 755 /".. There was absolutely NO way to fix that easily [21:29] lmnsqshr: and then? [21:29] km [21:29] lmnsqshr: i did no recursive [21:29] Sten_, I reinstalled my system [21:29] You are lucky without -R [21:29] Sten_, yeah you're very lucky :D [21:31] rixon: sudo apt-get install nvidia-current ,will install what you need [21:31] he just left [21:31] wanted to respond, too [21:31] lmnsqshr: yea [21:32] lmnsqshr: unlucky to click enter instead of shift [21:34] Sten_, oh so you typed in the command and wanted to press Shift but accidentally pressed Enter? [21:34] Sten_, why did you type in such 'dangerous' command in the first place? [21:35] lmnsqshr: i needed to remove some ocaasionaly set +x [21:36] anyone know how to hit buttons in links === us0r is now known as jorgy [21:36] lmnsqshr: well, recovery moe seems to be the night-saver for me [21:36] hey everyone. I am looking to buy a cheap but linux compatible thermal recipt printer. Can someone suggest something or a place where I should look for advice on this in irc ? [21:37] Sten_, I'm glad it worked so easily for you =) [21:37] vivekananda: openprinting.org [21:38] lmnsqshr: well, i am thinking bout the securtiy now [21:38] lmnsqshr: how it was that easy to break into the system [21:38] lmnsqshr: however, physical accesss [21:39] MercX: if you are referring to the links text browser, you'd either user keyboard navigation or gpm [21:40] Sten_, you mean with the recovery thing? [21:40] * text-based web browser [21:40] I am using the keyboard however I cannot hit a button [21:40] lmnsqshr: yea [21:40] MercX: i think you hit space [21:40] ActionParsnip: is that a channel ? [21:40] <[Gentoo]> MercX: you have to press enter and scroll through with up / down [21:41] Sten_, Perhaps you want to consider turning the recovery mode off [21:41] <[Gentoo]> sometimes you have to scroll down the bottom to get back to the top [21:41] Sten_, but then again you couldn't solve such problems easily [21:41] vivekananda: its a site reporting if certain printers wotk etc [21:41] lmnsqshr: true true [21:41] Sten_, you from germany? [21:41] vivekananda: irc channels start with a hash [21:41] hmm, maybe it is a javascript button [21:41] lmnsqshr: aye [21:42] lmnsqshr: it is probably the single user kernel mode [21:42] Sten_, you shouldn't have access to a shell in the single user mode [21:42] without the root password [21:43] lmnsqshr: well, in ubuntu root user has no password [21:43] lmnsqshr: everything is managed via sudoers, the root itself can not log on [21:44] but with physical access you can patch the /etc/shadow flie [21:44] and hijack the system [21:44] i need to encrypt my hdd [21:44] Sten_, with pyshical access you can do much more :p [21:44] Sten_, haha :D you sound paranoid :D [21:44] lmnsqshr: important work, cia wants to have [21:44] lmnsqshr: is there a true-crypt alternative? [21:45] !encrypt [21:45] or i can actually encrypt my home dir, can i do it now? [21:45] For information on setting up encrypted private directories (8.10+) see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EncryptedPrivateDirectory [21:45] Sten_, http://www.netzwelt.de/alternative-zu/4243-truecrypt.html [21:45] ActionParsnip: yep I know but I hoped there is an irc channel with similar name to get help [21:45] Sten_: you need to reinstall for full disk encryption [21:46] i may need to encrypt only /homes/sten [21:46] imo full disk encryption is overly paranoid [21:46] vivekananda: why do you need a channel? that lists all the printers contributed and if they work or not. How does a channel give anything over that well known compiled list exactly? [21:46] bean: causes headaches too [21:47] yep [21:47] bean: do you know anyone who got visted by buurglars? [21:47] thats what prey, etc is for. [21:47] they're still going to steal it [21:47] most burglars are not smart enough to reset your password [21:47] especially on linux [21:48] well [21:48] pulling disks doesn't require you to be too smart. [21:48] for you maybe.... [21:48] you'd be surprised. [21:48] http://thisguyhasmymacbook.tumblr.com/ [21:50] okay [21:50] better go to sleep [21:50] thanx for help lmnsqshr , tomreyn [21:51] bean: not worked on first line support have you [21:51] ActionParsnip: heh, I've worked in a support a lot [21:51] i've "seen some things" [21:52] bean: so you know the average user's grasp of IT. As we say "People are stupid" [21:52] fact. [21:52] Hey there [21:52] What's the best way to install ATI drivers in Ubuntu? [21:53] My friend and I have a system with a ATI 4830 HD [21:53] jaccob: which ati gpu? [21:53] We plan to use the ATI APP SDK to use OpenCL on the GPU [21:53] jaccob: and the output of: cat /etc/issue [21:54] Just a sec [21:55] Sten_, you're welcome [21:55] just stopped shitting bricks... [21:56] ActionParsnip: I was looking for feedback from someone who has used one of those and also what to go for coz I have no clue what to buy and dont want to waste money :) [21:57] jaccob: you can run a terminal with ctrl + alt + t [21:57] vivekananda: thats what the site does.....

Systems rebooting. === jduro_ is now known as cantoma === neptune is now known as nocturnal [22:00] how do I stop firefox overlaying the close button with the title bar [22:01] nocturnal: alt+f2 , then xkill [22:01] nocturnal: use that x cursor to kill ur firefox [22:02] it still does it [22:02] nocturnal: or u can type "killall firefox" in ur terminal [22:02] the website name is over the op of the close buttons [22:02] nocturnal: hold ALT and you can drag from any point on the application.

[22:13] nekrid: not sure what default is. could restore from backup === Guest17154 is now known as everydaylinuxuse [22:13] hmm, i'll try to google it [22:13] I just installed ubuntu [22:13] literally now [22:13] good job === mnemon2 is now known as Mnemon [22:15] nocturnal: I can't find ur close button [22:15] cant the title of the page be in the middle of the bar so it dont cover up the file menu etc [22:16] nocturnal_: When you move your mouse over the top bar, the title disappears and the file menu appears. Nothing hides it. [22:16] ah I used alt adn dragged it away [22:16] how to keep it like thta as default [22:16] nocturnal: nocturnal I see, its unity, i forgot... [22:17] now file is hidden still [22:17] but the close buttons aint [22:17] nocturnal: your current application's toolbar(which contains the close button) is always on the top of the screen, [22:18] ok but cant I stop where it says google from hiding over 'file'', edit etc [22:18] nocturnal: you have to be famillar with it, other wise, try other DE instead of unity [22:18] im fine with the close button on the left [22:18] how do I get de [22:19] nocturnal: desktop environment , like KDE, gnome, LXDE, choose your favirate one [22:20] nocturnal give unity a month. it is well worth it [22:20] hmm ok [22:20] you get used to the menu being the way it is. [22:20] searching for things in unity is faster than any other desktop i have used [22:20] can I disable auto mazimize window [22:20] it happnes when dragging the window [22:21] It only happens when you drag it too far to the top/bottom. [22:21] ok [22:21] nocturnal: dont drag the windows to the edges or disable the feature [22:22] what is the proper way to write an iso image to USB? [22:22] theslow1: use dd [22:22] whosea fbi agent? [22:22] k1l, thanks [22:22] KindOne, im on to u [22:25] how come the launcher bar dont always unhide [22:27] nocturnal_ system settings > appearance > behaviour === smithkm_ is now known as smithkm [22:28] theslow1: k1l's suggestion will only work for hybrid ISOs (most aren't) [22:29] zykotick9, how do i find out whether or not the ISO is hybrid? [22:29] i set the launcher to auto hide now it wont come back [22:29] theslow1: what is it? if it's a recent ubuntu, it is. [22:30] its a windows7 image from msdn [22:30] nocturnal take your time to explore the new interface and get used to it, like we all did [22:30] theslow1: for that windows support you better ask in ##windows [22:31] theslow1: it isn't. but i don't care about your issue... so good luck. [22:31] k1l, zykotick9 thanks [22:42] Is there any way to disable the password length limit on the Remote Desktop Viewer Ubuntu application? [22:44] do someone know howto fix the battery criticly low on 99% battery bug? :P [22:44] its soo cool thats awesome :P [22:45] shiz, i was gonna tell blackgryphon that you can only have 8char passwds in vnc anyways [22:45] HI… trying to create a blank file on ubuntu…… iM told that `/dev/zero` doesn't exist……. ??? [22:45] xavier23: How do you try to create the file? [22:45] wiak: i have that issue no matter how much my battery is charged...it's not really that bad [22:45] bekks: using `dd` [22:46] xavier23: what the heck!?! just 'touch filename' [22:46] xavier23: just "dd"? That won't do much. [22:46] xavier23: How? Whats the exact command? [22:46] bluefox83: needs to be a special format of file [22:47] (for a swap file) [22:47] `dd if=/dev/zero of=/media/fasthdd/swapfile.img bs=1024 count=1M` [22:47] xavier23: shouldn't matter...if all you are doing is creating it you can touch it to create it...until it has something *IN* it, then it's just any old file anyways [22:47] xavier23: what ubuntu version is this? How did you install it? [22:48] bluefox83: it does matter, because the file has to be a certain size [22:48] jrib: Ubuntu 12.04.2 LTS [22:48] xavier23: How did you install it? [22:48] have a tech sue if anyone is up for it [22:48] !ask | dajepp [22:48] dajepp: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [22:48] jrib: not sure how it was installed… it was installed by someone else. [22:49] xavier23: ask that person why you don't have /dev/zero? [22:49] jrib: suspect it was upgraded [22:49] jrib: is there any quick way of getting /dev/zero back? [22:49] have a dell laptop Latitude D620 that I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 on. I can't see any wiFi networks [22:50] this is a super weird problem...lol [22:50] xavier23: I don't know. But I would be curious as to what exactly the reason is it's not there. So I'm not surprised later by similar issues. [22:51] xavier23: you can google "mknod", but I really suggest you investigate how this system was installed [22:52] xavier23: tried fallocate? === acrocity_ is now known as acrocity [22:53] some googling sent me to a site that suggested fallocate in place of mkfile (since mkfile is from solaris or something...) [22:53] bluefox83: who brought up mkfile? [22:53] Trying to use apt-get tells me that /var/lib/apt/lists/lock and /var/lib/dpkg/lock are locked (even after rebooting), and that's effectively locking me out of apt-get and dpkg. Does anybody know how to unlock those files? [22:53] jrib: thanks. mknod looks pretty hellish. bluefox83: i'll try it, thanx.. [22:54] xavier23: yeah, speak with the person that installed your system. [22:54] jrib: it was in a forum [22:54] hello, im new with ubuntu, just installed it and have some questions... Is there anyone who can help me? [22:54] also also mkfile will work in ubuntu O.o [22:54] !ask | juansf111 [22:54] juansf111: Please don't ask to ask a question, simply ask the question (all on ONE line and in the channel, so that others can read and follow it easily). If anyone knows the answer they will most likely reply. :-) See also !patience [22:54] i think...holdon [22:54] Sorry for my english btw [22:55] nope, i'm wrong...no mkfile [22:55] 中国人？ [22:55] !cn [22:55] 如欲獲得中文的協助，請輸入 /join #ubuntu-cn 或 /join #ubuntu-tw [22:55] lol [22:55] heh [22:56] was that kanji? O.o [22:56] have a dell laptop Latitude D620 that I just installed Ubuntu 13.04 on. I can't see any wiFi networks. It worked fine with windows. Any suggestions? [22:56] bluefox83: yes (kanji characters come from Chinese) [22:56] Thank you very much. Here is the deal. I Just installe windows again in my pc (windows 7) . I have a 500gb hard drive, so I created a partition of 250 gb while installing windows. After finishing installing it, I Intalled Ubuntu. I used the option "Install Allongside windows", and it already finished... [22:56] Sik: but don't always mean the same things, i am told... [22:56] My question is if it installed in the same partition than windows, or in the free space... [22:57] dajepp: uh...make sure there aren't any onboard buttons on the laptop that turn wifi off... [22:57] juansf111: in the free space [22:58] my wife's old latitude used to have a key combination that turned wifi on, that stupid fn button and another one along the top...you might want to look for that dajepp [22:59] juansf111: u can check it by checking your disk usage [22:59] my mother-in-law called me up crying her eyes out one time because she couldn't get wifi to work on her latitude (also running ubuntu) and i had to go over to fix it...took me 4 seconds to figure out and fix >.> [23:00] any way I can perform an offline kernel upgrade? offline as in, without booting the OS. from Windows/OS X by mounting the linux partition, in other words. [23:00] her neighbor who swore was a "tech genius, and computer professional" couldn't figure it out after 2 hours though...lol [23:00] Any wired nic gurus around? [23:00] bluefox83 that's nice, but keep the channel clear for support, please [23:00] namora: why would you want to do that!?! [23:00] bluefox83: can't boot Ubuntu [23:01] namora: why not? i seem to have missed that O.o [23:01] namora: can't even get to GRUB to boot it. [23:01] namora: what u need is to fix your grub, not the kernel [23:01] bluefox83: oh that was the first thing I wrote in IRC xD [23:01] Pudge: well, i don't really want grub at all [23:01] namora: lol, sorry i'm in irssi and things go by fast >.> [23:01] basically I'm trying to set up an EFISTUB boot [23:01] namora: well then you will have to install lilo? [23:02] namora: in that case u have to edit your windows's boot.ini [23:02] O.o [23:02] the problem is EFISTUB support only landed in kernel 3.3 and i'm on precise (3.2) [23:02] Pudge: I'm actually on OS X [23:02] or a mac, rather. [23:02] Anyone know how to make my dell wireless card work with Ubuntu 13.04? [23:02] well, what does your mac use as the boot loader? O.o [23:02] namora: so lilo is ur choice [23:03] dajepp: did you look for the wifi button like i suggested? [23:03] Pudge: EFISTUB is my choice. I want to boot direct from EFI. [23:03] bluefox83: rEFInd [23:03] namora: ofcoz u can, but u have to add ur ubuntu boot information into it [23:03] but it's a boot manager, not really a boot loader [23:04] Pudge: I can boot the kernel directly from the EFI without a dedicated boot loader [23:04] the problem is I need to upgrade the kernel to do so, and I can't boot it at all right now because I borked my partition scheme [23:05] Greetings.. [23:05] namora: I thoroughly recommend refind ;-) [23:05] got no sound [23:05] gordonjcp: i love rEFInd. following this: http://www.rodsbooks.com/ubuntu-efi/ [23:05] im using external speakers [23:05] I had installed the new kernel irc, later, the new amd beta driver. Well, The unity doesn't start now! [23:06] 12.04 old gateway with two nic's. Both work in windoze, eth0 says cable is disconnected. Anyone have any ideas what to try? [23:06] did you try reconnecting the cable? [23:06] namora: it should work okay. I used exactly that page to help me set up 12.10 on a Macbook 3,1 [23:07] Repeating: trying to use apt-get tells me that /var/lib/apt/lists/lock and /var/lib/dpkg/lock are locked (even after rebooting), and that's effectively locking me out of apt-get and dpkg. Does anybody know how to unlock those files? [23:07] Cable never disconnected! Windoze it works, 12.04 says its disconnected. [23:07] Sik are you using 'sudo apt-get...'? [23:07] namora: It can boot ur ubuntu, just need some config [23:07] harveyb144: what does lspci | grep -i net say you've got? [23:07] I got no sound [23:07] what to do [23:08] gordonjcp: oh really? that's excellent. did you/do you use FileVault? [23:08] gordonjcp: I'm trying to get the whole thing set up with full disk encryption [23:08] namora: no, what's filevault? [23:08] That is the new installed kernel 3.11.0-031100rc6-generic [23:08] gordonjcp: OS X's built in full-disk encryption system [23:08] NanduX: ...I should have known better ._.' (for some reason I thought it was being locked out because the update manager halted halfway through an update) [23:09] nocturnal_: open ur terminal, try command "alsamixer" and see what u get [23:09] reisio eth0 (bad one) says Macronix, .. MX987x5 (rev 25).. [23:09] Also, Anthy is broken, I can't type Japanese characters without the system locking up. First updating the packages to make sure that doesn't fix it. [23:09] namora: no, I think full disk encryption is the most apocalyptically retarded idea in the whole field of computing [23:09] gordonjcp: lol [23:10] namora: it's slow and it's guaranteed to lose you some data [23:10] gordonjcp: are you serious? [23:10] the performance hit is 0-5% [23:10] you couldn't pay me to cripple my disk performance with that pointless cack [23:10] harveyb144: anything else? [23:10] it has absolutely no perceptible performance hit [23:10] namora: yup, that makes it unusable [23:11] disks are already far too slow [23:11] gordonjcp: well I can tell you I see absolutely zero performance hit running it on my SSD [23:11] disks keep getting faster, and processors have specific instruction sets for encryption these days [23:11] because of AES-NI [23:11] gordonjcp: good for removable backup drives though no? [23:11] moondog: nope [23:11] exactly, reisio. [23:11] moondog: never, ever back up onto an encrypted drive [23:11] plus, it doesn't really matter if you actually need encryption [23:11] gordonjcp: u can hate it but u can't deny other's work [23:11] any hit will be worth it [23:11] now what [23:11] gordonjcp: why? [23:12] there no volumes that are below half [23:12] moondog: well, do, but back up onto an unencrypted drive too [23:12] nocturnal_: see some bars that can modify ur volume? [23:12] moondog: if you have a single bad sector on the disk, if it begins to fail, you've lost *everything* [23:12] reisio 01:00.0 Ethernet controller: Macronix, Inc. [MXIC] MX987x5 (rev 25) (end of line: next line describes eth1 card ) [23:12] interesting [23:12] thanks for the info [23:12] harveyb144: and eth1 is irrelevant for some reason? [23:13] first of all, no you wouldn't. and second of all, even if it did break completely, you'd just restore from a backup [23:13] help [23:13] the bars dont seem to do aynthing [23:13] anything* [23:13] reisio eth1 works just fine; trying to get eth0 working as well (two networks here) [23:13] I was just thinking storing my external hard drive backup in my desk at work was a tad risky without encryption [23:14] I can highlight it like text [23:14] namora: yes, you would, because the entire volume has to be readable to decrypt it [23:14] namora: and if the drive is beginning to fail, it won't be entirely readable [23:14] gordonjcp: i don't think you understand how AES-XTS works, which is the specific implementation i'm referring to [23:14] the whole thing is pointless, anyway [23:14] no-one cares enough about you to want to read your disk [23:14] heh [23:14] harveyb144: lspci -nn | grep -i net [23:15] well that's a completely separate point [23:15] it was at 47 perfect the master was [23:15] I moved it up still no sound [23:15] hey, those of you that were trying to help me move data from one drive to another last night...i found a laptop hard drive that has enough space...problem is there is no appropriate type of power plug for it! [23:15] is it molex or SATA? [23:15] bluefox83: use your desktop [23:16] reisio: that's what i mean. i can't plug it into the desktop because there's no power plugin...it's some wierd thing that looks a little like the sata connector, but it's like an inch and a half long O.o [23:16] i don't have anything in my desktop that hooks to that :( [23:16] bluefox83: plug the drive that's already in the laptop into the desktop [23:16] Can I remotely wake up the kscreenlocker from an SSH session? thanks. [23:17] geomyidae_: probably, see if it has a man page [23:17] reisio: ...yeah i just said i can't do that [23:17] bluefox83: why not? [23:17] sata connector wont power the drive by itself will it? [23:17] reisio 01:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Macronix, Inc. [MXIC] MX987x5 [10d9:0531] (rev 25) (then line for eth0) [23:17] bluefox83: doesn't need to [23:17] bluefox83: you have power cables in the desktop already [23:17] there aren't any cables on the laptop [23:18] those cables wont fit the drive...i checked D: [23:18] the laptop has nothing to do with connecting a drive to the desktop :) [23:18] i know that [23:18] the drive is weird [23:18] bluefox83: so they're pata and the desktop is sata? [23:18] uh..i guess so O.o [23:18] holdon let me grab the drive real fast [23:19] harveyb144: presumably you meant 'then line for ethONE' ? [23:19] ok fixed it [23:20] reisio yep, sorry.. [23:20] harveyb144: lsmod | grep -i tulip [23:20] reisio: I literally can't figure out what to man for. They've removed kscreensaver and kscreenlover. I think it's kxsrun and kxsconfig but I haven't found anything useful related to either of those yet. [23:21] reisio: correct me if i'm wrong here, but an sata connector doesn't also power the drive...right? [23:21] reisio tulip 52515 0 [23:21] geomyidae_: you could try DISPLAY=:0 xscreensaver-command -deactivate [23:21] bluefox83: not IME :) [23:21] bluefox83: but it needn't, because your desktop has power [23:21] and so does your laptop [23:22] * bluefox83 hasn't got the foggiest notion what that mean [23:22] in my experience [23:22] reisio: yes, but i can't hook it into both...because that laptop is retarded in it's construction >.> [23:22] you can't hook what into both of what? [23:23] harveyb144: ok, I'm guessing it's just a simple misconfiguration then [23:23] i can't hook the drive into the laptop for power and the desktop for data [23:23] wont fit :( [23:23] it's a hitachi drive made for gateway... [23:24] reisio any tips greatly appreciated. i have tried setting static ip and setting ipv6 to "ignore" so far. [23:24] bluefox83: what does "made for gateway" mean? [23:24] nevermind >.> [23:24] this is a whole lotta dancing around for nothing... [23:25] bluefox83: it's probably just a shell, if anything [23:25] reisio: yeah...don't worry about it, just believe me when i say it's not physically feasable [23:26] I don't, but I believe you won't bother :) [23:26] did you abort the network transfer? [23:26] i have another drive that it's feasible with but it's only 80gb :( [23:27] reisio: no...i keep getting errors about invalid argument. but most of the files are transfering [23:27] still >.> [23:27] oh, using what command? [23:27] drag and freaking drop over smb >.> [23:27] because rsync kept failing completely [23:28] :/ [23:28] so yeah...this is getting nuts [23:28] rsync stopped running? [23:28] i should find a bunch of old 80g drives and just copy what i can over >.> [23:28] uh..no it failed [23:28] failed? [23:29] just go to the store and get the most-capacity-for-price external eSATA/USB3/2 hard drive you can, you'll need the storage eventually [23:29] yep that's what i said.. [23:29] so the process stopped? [23:29] yeah [23:29] it said something about it not being allowed [23:29] IdleOne: Wanna do something more? [23:30] bluefox83: Here is the way it works. You describe the problem(s) you encounter in enough detail, and someone here can usually come up with a solution. [23:30] Rebooted, I still can't use Anthy. Ctrl+Space does nothing, switching to Anthy from the menu does nothing either. If I select it twice it does select Anthy, but it behaves like normal input instead of Japanese input. Help? [23:31] usr13: yeah i've been here plenty of times...i also know that sometimes those solutions don't work...which is what happened to me [23:31] I wouldn't use a GUI to transfer 230GB if you paid me [23:31] well i'm picking and choosing instead of just cramming the whole thing [23:32] bluefox83: If all you can say is that it is hopeless and there is no solution, then it *is* hopless. [23:32] * daftykins puts £100 in front of reisio [23:32] daftykins: thanks :) [23:32] no no, you have to copy 230GB with a GUI first. [23:32] daftykins: oh, pass [23:32] usr13: thanks, get that from a fortune cookie? [23:32] XD [23:33] bluefox83: Take a good hard look at my first comment. [23:33] I came across the "ubuntu is spyware" argument today, how do you guys feel about this? [23:33] ok, i'll ask this about using rsync...i'm moving data from my server to my laptop, i use rsync from my laptop right? [23:34] actually I'll post that question in #ubuntu-discuss [23:34] reisio in network tools received packets count is incrementing, ipv4 shows 0.0.0.0 in "IP Information" but manually entered address if I go to "configure".. ideas? [23:34] ShapeShifter499: i deactivate it :P [23:35] harveyb144: nope; #networking maybe [23:36] reisio Thanks for the help. [23:37] user and group permission question; i have a group called dev which is assigned as a secondary group to a user xyz; ... I also have a /media/development directory which is root.dev with 77 perm. ; now as a xyz user when i try to create directories in /media/development directory i get permission denied, i know that the user xyz belongs to the dev grouop which has full permissions. what am i doing wrong? [23:37] 77 perm / 775 [23:37] soo I've just downloaded a jquery ui codebase and I cant seem to delete it even with "sudo rm " [23:37] ideas? [23:38] delinquentme: what does rm say? [23:38] rm: cannot remove `js/libs/jquery-ui-1.10.2/': Permission denied [23:38] :P [23:38] heh [23:38] its like linux thinks its windows [23:38] delinquentme: what does sudo rm say? [23:39] * delinquentme facepalms [23:39] ShapeShifter499: "spy" means did something and hide itself that u can't find it [23:39] sudo rm -rf js/libs/jquery-ui-1.10.2 [23:39] no wait.. im still getting denied! [23:39] @_@ [23:39] xyz123: ls -l /media |grep development #What does it say? [23:40] ShapeShifter499: but linux/ubuntu is opensource, how can it hide itself [23:41] delinquentme: what's it say exactly? [23:41] xyz123: or just ls -ld /media/development [23:42] xyz123: Show us..... [23:42] Oh ... weird [23:42] so i used $ rm -rf js/libs/jquery-ui-1.10.2/ [23:42] without sudo [23:42] and it delete it [23:42] delinquentme: Please don't flood; use http://paste.ubuntu.com to paste; don't use Enter as punctuation. [23:42] deleted** [23:42] Repeating: I can't use Anthy. Ctrl+Space does nothing, switching to Anthy from the menu does nothing either. If I select it twice it does select Anthy, but it behaves like normal input instead of Japanese input. Any ideas to fix it? [23:42] delinquentme: so maybe you confused the error about not being able to rm directories without -r, with the permissions error [23:43] reisio, i used $ sudo rm -rf path/to/dir [23:43] Pudge, lol [23:43] dunno about that, but it's academic now :) [23:44] xyz123: grep xyz /etc/group #What does that say? [23:46] hi, i'm installing a new printer and it needs new drivers; Can I leave the old drivers (HPLIP) or have to remove them? [23:47] phillyj: just keep it if no conflit [23:47] usr13: dev:x:1020:xyz [23:48] alright, thx Pudge [23:48] usr13: drwxrwxr-x 3 root dev 4096 Aug 17 15:38 /media/development [23:49] hi [23:49] how is this [23:49] this is nice [23:49] this is [23:49] nice [23:49] a lot of people here [23:49] is there a chat channel for ubuntu on this ? [23:50] AbitChubby: and its nice [23:50] oh [23:50] so [23:50] all people here [23:50] are using ubuntu? [23:50] n o [23:51] AbitChubby, there's #ubuntu-offtopic [23:51] oh [23:51] ok [23:51] for off topic stuff, discussions etc. [23:51] usr13: slow with the response due to mucking about..... do please respond on your analysis :) [23:51] bye [23:51] sorry [23:51] no worrie- [23:51] :/ [23:51] right so this is support only :) [23:52] ? [23:54] its support as long as someone responds to you :) [23:54] ...technically [23:56] xyz123: If you are logged in as xyz, you should be able to mkdir /media/development/what-ever #If what you say is true, I do not know why you cant. Maybe I'm missing something... if so, someone please let us know. [23:57] is anybody well versed in autofs? I can't seem to get mine working. The share comes up as blank when I navigate to what's in auto.master. [23:58] roasted: yes. [23:58] xyz123: What is behind this mount point, /media/development? (What kind of device is it?) [23:59] xyz123: mount [23:59] xyz123: mount |grep media [23:59] usr13: its my secondary hd (sdb)
