You should try and keep it all on one output or it will get so fragmented no one will be able to piece together what you are tying to say.

Where is /media/development ? [00:09] I am reinstalling my system and updating old files, but I am only interested in ecological rosette practices. [00:09] so uhm...how do i know how far along rsync is in the data sending? and for that matter...how do i find out how fast it's going and the eta? [00:10] xyz123: It sees as though we might be comparing apples to oranges. [00:10] It is.

[00:17] bluefox83: I just use nfs linux to linux I may share the same directorie(s) via sambe with MS Windows clients as well, but to me, nfs is a little better to use because in one way or another, it is simplier. [00:17] (it isn't a hardware/cable issue, it works fine under windows) [00:17] *samba* (not sambe) [00:17] MonkeyDust: Yes, I am a bot. [00:18] usr13: yeah but i have a mixed network with windows machines and linux, so in order to keep my files visible to everything i make sure to use samba [00:19] bluefox83: Just my advise, take it or leave it. [00:19] nevermind, I fixed it thanks [00:19] usr13: i actually wanted just nfs but my wife couldn't use it on her windows machine to move files over :/ [00:20] ;/ [00:20] bluefox83: You missed what I said. I use both. [00:20] oh [00:20] god I have ubuntu already [00:20] i did for a while [00:20] HATE [00:20] nocturnal_: why? [00:20] HATE [00:20] H A T E LOOK AT ME I CAN SPELL [00:21] lol [00:21] bluefox83: (The same directorie(s) can be shared by nfs, even if you are sharing them via samba.)

[00:24] you don't have to type anything! [00:24] nocturnal_: It is as easy to remove as it is to install. [00:24] nocturnal_, use the software centre [00:25] visualise: excusemua? i don't have an attitude O.o [00:25] nocturnal_: Yea, typing is really a chore. [00:25] dont be trollin me [00:26] id rather click some buttons ya know [00:26] nocturnal_, noone is trolling you [00:26] nocturnal_: seriously though...software center [00:26] people make typos [00:26] ok I did it in sftware centre [00:26] just go in, type the names of the software, it'll show them...OR look in your list of installed apps === Xs is now known as Guest19375 [00:27] how do I change it so I dont need to type a password to install etc [00:27] you don't [00:27] that's to prevent someone from breaking your system [00:28] linux has viruses? [00:28] I want a blank password too can I do that [00:29] nocturnal_: yes there are linux viruses...no, don't make a blank password, that's bad [00:29] nocturnal_: Keep your comments on one line. Don't use the Enter key for punctuation. And no, we don't have viruses. [00:29] lol usr13 yes there are, but they don't really spread [00:29] usr13, incorrect. if it can run code it can run malicious code. [00:29] I know about the enter key [00:30] ok how do I change it so I dont need to type a password to install/uninstall. [00:30] nocturnal_, you can't. that's the point [00:31] visualise: "malicious code" != self-replicating-code, which IMO a virus must be. If you run it yourself, with root privs, it's your own fault. [00:31] you guys said you can do anyything with linux! === jaya is now known as jaya1 [00:32] visualise: Virus problems are not an issue for Linux users, you can write all the malicious code you want, but it is not a problem for us because of the filesystem and structure we have. [00:32] its too much hasssle to type a password for this windows dont have this [00:32] ill just get linux AV [00:34] visualise: nocturnal_ ... so for all practicle purposes, we do not have virus problems, therefore, there is no need for anti-virus applications. [00:34] usr13, all it takes is to trick user to install a .deb to replace kernel with a tainted one.. out goes any integrity of designed filesystem/structure [00:34] !virus [00:34] Antivirus is something you don't need on !Linux. except where files are then passed to windows computers (perhaps using samba), See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Antivirus [00:34] visualise: You realize what you are saying, right? [00:34] usr13, it requires root true [00:35] but people like nocturnal_ type password always when asked! === andrex is now known as andrex|off [00:35] guys a question. If a modem is lost ( stolen) is there a way that it can be traced ? [00:36] Vivekananda: What type of modem? [00:36] when I use ubuntu or any other os for internet communication does the modem serial get transmitted along with [00:36] are you sure I cant change the permissions so I can install programs without needing to type a password [00:36] if i am using a better gpu this means that the desktop environment will run more fluently? [00:37] Vivekananda: I think it depends on the modem. (And it is not something we here on #ubuntu are concerned enough enough about to give any qualified answers on.) [00:39] nocturnal_: I don't know, it is not something I've tried to do, (and apparently no one else has either). It is not something we would want to do. [00:41] would it be 'Run apt-get without sudo' [00:41] I'm having some troubles installing Ubuntu Server. I burnt the ISO to a disk using Free ISO, it get's detected just fine, but when it was installing the base system, it repeatedly said it ran into a problem. I'd tell it to try again, and it would work a little further then problem again. This went on for about 10-12 times before it finished the base system. It also had problems detecting my network settings (DHCP), and the Select/Ins [00:42] Sorry for so much text, but I wanted to describe my issue === Guest65502 is now known as jan1337zZz [00:43] Vedrit: Did you run a checksum against the ISO? [00:43] Everything kind of points to a problem with either the burnt disk or the ISO. I'm burning another disk to see if that's the problem [00:43] Vedrit: First, check the ISO [00:43] I didn't see an option to [00:43] Vedrit: md5sum name.iso and google the result. [00:44] Hello everyone, Jordon_Ryanhere and i'm here and ready to DDoS. [00:45] So the ubuntu phone campaign won't complete? D: [00:45] cant I have a simpler password [00:46] Helper [00:46] nocturnal_: You can use any password you want. [00:46] it wont seem to let me [00:46] nocturnal_: It is your system, do with it as you like, but it is a good idea to not use a weak password. [00:47] it says its too simple [00:47] Hi everyone, I'm stuck with installing Vundle.. is anyone around to give me a hand? [00:47] nocturnal_: I think we have given you all the advise we have about the password issue. It is your choice what you do with it. [00:48] I dont even have a choice because I dont know how [00:48] can anybody tell me how to remove the bar that ubuntu uses? [00:48] I'm having issues doing a clean install of ubuntu 13.04 64-bit version, it crashes before I can log in! [00:48] what bar? [00:48] i did that one time i killed unity shell 2d i think [00:48] dash === RedefinedClank is now known as Clank|Gone [00:49] nocturnal_: passwd nocturnal_ [00:49] !info passwd | nocturnal_ [00:49] nocturnal_: passwd (source: shadow): change and administer password and group data. In component main, is required. Version 1:4.1.5.1-1ubuntu4.1 (raring), package size 1026 kB, installed size 2197 kB [00:49] Okay usr13, I compared the md5 and they match. Do you think I should still burn another disk? [00:49] eden_: the unity dash bar on the left? [00:49] yes [00:50] what do you want it to look like? [00:50] gnome 2 or 3? [00:50] 2 [00:50] stelth: just install gnome 3 [00:50] !nounity [00:50] Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use GNOME 3 with the !unity shell by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, from 12.10 an up install the "ubuntu-gnome-desktop" package. From 11.04 to 12.04, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. Using Natty? See !classic [00:50] :( [00:50] gnome2 is dead. [00:50] stelth: sudo apt-get install gnome-shell [00:51] Did you get that eden_ ? [00:51] thanks [00:51] wut? [00:51] the command is apt-get install gnome-shell [00:51] sudo before [00:52] Tried to reinstall Anthy, and turns out I can't because dpkg complains it runs out of memory. I check and turns out the swap partition is disabled. What? Does anybody know how to reenable it? ._.' [00:52] Vedrit: I don't know. Possibly. Having said that, I have burned a number of install CDs / DVDs and if the ISO was ok, the disk always seems to have come out ok. BUT, I've used mostly OpenSource CD burning software and am not familiar with the track record of the software you are using. Bottom line; I don't know. [00:52] how do i rehash the view of a directory in nautilus /gnome 3? [00:52] stelth, should i install this? [00:52] Vedrit: There is also USB [00:53] eden_: when you are at the login just select the button just above the right end of your password area [00:53] True. I guess that would be better [00:53] yeah, it will install gnome 2 and 3 [00:53] stelth, i want to have the unity i just don't want the dash bar [00:54] Sik swapon maybe? [00:54] Wait, do you just want it to hide like you could do to the start bar in XP? [00:54] or like the bar in gnome 3 >.> [00:54] no [00:54] w30: how do I use it? [00:54] i want to remove it [00:54] completely [00:55] You can't keep unity and remove the dash bar [00:55] only this not any features or anything [00:55] i think that i've done it [00:55] i killed something [00:55] I would recommend having it just hide away [00:55] unity panel 2d or the shell [00:55] i think [00:55] i have it hidden [00:56] eden_: http://askubuntu.com/questions/9865/how-can-i-configure-unitys-launcher-auto-hide-behavior [00:56] Sik, that's a terminal command open a terminal and type swapon -help [00:56] i have it auto hide [00:56] and lowest sensitivity [00:56] that's not the problem [00:56] passwd does not let me use a short/weak/blank password [00:56] eden_: This sounds an awful lot like gnome 3 [00:56] there is no dash in gnome 3 [00:56] w30: actually looking at /etc/fstab... looks like the swap partition is there, but the name is not the correct one [00:57] you can get it by installing gnome-shell [00:57] How do I get the UUID of a partition? [00:57] Vedrit: Pretty much all the CD burning software applications I've used will give some sort of warning / error if a problem occurs somewhere in the process. [00:57] (and how did sda turn into sdb?) [00:57] stelth, no way in the dash you can search and lot of other stuff too i just want to remove it [00:57] Sik, change it but first cp fstab fstab.orig [00:57] Well, it could be a problem with the drive. It's really old, it could be getting stuck [00:57] Sik, sudo blkid for uuid [00:58] Vedrit: But when that has happened for me, it always seemed to be defective media or defective CD burner. [00:58] w30: yeah I know that :P | wilee-nilee yeah saw blkid, trying to figure it out though (-s UUID just gives me the filenames...) [00:58] Sik, Booting a usb will sometimes switch the HD's [00:59] I'm booting from the hard disk [00:59] Looks like at some point it switched it back so USB became sda [00:59] I doubt brand-new disks would be faulty. It could be that I'm use a blu-ray to burn them. Oh well. I'm writing to a USB anyway. It's what I had originally planned [00:59] Vedrit: May be a bit of a hastle, but you could grab the ISO from the CD, write it to the HD and verify it again. === andrex|off is now known as andrex [00:59] eden_: I haven't heard of it, and can search with the gnome 3 menu really well [00:59] stelth, i don't want to search at all [01:00] So you don't want the bar to the left nor the unity dash home/search? [01:00] wait what bar to the left [01:01] yeah the dash bar [01:01] i don't want the unity dash home [01:01] where there are icons and you can search stuffs [01:02] Is this an apropriate channel to ask for help? [01:02] Sik, yeah, with all these virtual scsi drives thse days a real scsi drive doesn't stand a chance *smile* [01:02] Polyphony, This is ubuntu support. [01:02] yeah, install gnome-shell and select gnome classic [01:02] wilee-nilee: cool, I'm having some problems with sound in openbox :/ [01:03] then you get the classic gnome 2 interface that you are looking for. [01:03] Polyphony, Just post to the channel your best details.

[01:07] pfft, oops :P [01:07] 2 audio devices - one used by the hdmi connector. one used by the analog plugs on the pc. [01:07] wuld be my guess [01:08] Sik, blkid works for me to show up swap my partition, maybe you need sudo in front? [01:08] i'm installing a printer and i need to figure out the ip address on it; Do I have to assign one and how? [01:08] any ideas on how to set the default to the analog ones? (because you're right about the two audio devices) [01:08] pavucontrol tool i recall letting me select. or thers some other tools that let you pick [01:09] phillyj: typically you can hold a button on the printer to make it print a test report which will detail the network settings [01:09] w30: trying tune2fs now, it shows the UUID of /dev/sdb6 (main partition) but not /dev/sdb7 (swap partition)... [01:09] phillyj: you'll need to read the manual to find out what button this is [01:09] Yeah, but pavucontrol just shows the "dummy" device [01:09] Is it possible for a partition to NOT have an UUID? [01:09] Polyphony: sound preferences [01:09] daftykins: is all zeros; i think i have to assign one [01:09] http://askubuntu.com/search?tab=relevance&q=switch%20%20audio%20card [01:09] phillyj: if you started it up with the cable in it could've gotten one by DHCP [01:10] Anyone know a PPA for daily builds of Chromium? [01:10] chrhttp://www.ubuntuupdates.org/ppa/ubuntu_chromium_daily_builds [01:10] daftykins: im connected via usb ATM and not ethernet [01:11] phillyj: well if it's connected via usb it's not going to get an IP [01:11] ^ [01:11] ah ok [01:11] Dr_Willis: that adds the dead repository though; ppa:chromium-daily/ppa [01:11] i understand then === andrex is now known as andrex|off [01:12] phillyj: plug it in and it should obtain one via dhcp. Then you should be able to configure it further through a web interface at that IP [01:12] all im doing is googling Hexagonite i saw several differnt ppas [01:13] Hexagonite, here is one, there may be more not sure. https://launchpad.net/~cmiller/+archive/chromium-browser-stable-daily [01:13] the chromium channel may also have a reccomendation for one [01:13] Do swap partitions have an UUID?

[01:31] The default configuration of OpenSSH through 6.1 enforces a fixed time limit between establishing a TCP connection and completing a login, which makes it easier for remote attackers to cause a denial of service (connection-slot exhaustion) by periodically making many new TCP connections.

[03:49] ttom: yup [03:50] doesn't seem like it gives me anything [03:50] will it also retrieve it for an interface that is declared as manual in the /etc/network/interfaces (if that matters)? [03:50] hmm i just ran it... works for me [03:51] ttom: yeah i dont know about manual interfaces, but i think so [03:51] the thing is ... I am booting my linux through PXE netboot ... as soon as I load it, the network is fine, but no dns info [03:51] hmm you could always edit /etc/resolvconf/resolv.conf.d/tail [03:52] and just add some static nameservers [03:52] 4.2.2.3 is pretty fast and amazing [03:52] is it one of google's? [03:52] i know there is 4.4.4.4 and 8.8.8.8 [03:53] but both are googles [03:53] ttom: nope. i think its layer 2.. no this is like one of the oldest dns servers like it was used in the 90s [03:53] 4.2.2.2 & 4.2.2.3 [03:54] ok, thanks ... it is indeed level3's [03:54] thank you very m6uch [03:55] indeed sir === Le is now known as cjopcjop [04:02] halp, my gchat webcam keeps cutting out. The audio doesn't stay on [04:02] my apache2 server isnt visable on the internet but only on local network [04:03] apache is running on ubuntu server 12.04 [04:04] definatly not my router settings [04:04] seems to be an apache error in how it interacts with ubuntu [04:05] is anyone here? [04:06] I had a similar problem with apache once, it was the listen address I had set up in the config [04:07] can you choose between gnome or unity shell at will? [04:07] mace268 that sounds like the issue im having [04:07] how did you fix it? [04:07] Hello all! does anybody know how many instances one should run inside a lan? say I have two ubuntu machines in the same lan, nd they're both running their own avahi-daemon... is this ok? [04:08] ScareCrow_: how do you know its not an issue with the router? [04:08] oops, how many instances of avahi-daemon... [04:08] 2 days of going though this problem on many IRCs and forums [04:08] even set up a minecraft server to test the ports can be opened [04:09] ScareCrow_: yeah? i would try it locally, and if it works, i would see that the port is forwarded to the local ip, or use a firewall and the DMZ area of the router [04:09] ScareCrow_ what are you trying to do? [04:09] it works locally, and the issue is NOT my router [04:10] ScareCrow_: then, apache *is* working.. and you have not convinced me you have tried the DMZ [04:10] i think its like mace268 said [04:10] ScareCrow_: i didnt have to mess with that, but it could be [04:10] de-militrized zone. [04:10] ScareCrow_: i literally forwarded the ports [04:10] is there an alternative to gchat that does voip? [04:11] webmin works, apache does not [04:11] installing gnome shell gonna reboot and see what its like [04:11] ScareCrow_: locally, both work, correct? [04:11] yes [04:11] ScareCrow_: then, apache *is* working [04:11] wait, the DMZ is kinda of a last resort... [04:11] Mastablasta: Why would you reboot? [04:11] did you try forwarding the port? [04:11] the dmz is a tool.. [04:11] i dont think its listening [04:11] (sorry if that's like the first thing you talked about :P) [04:11] because I want to see the feature if it lets me select unity or gnome at login [04:12] ScareCrow_: if it werent "listening", it wouldnt answer locally [04:12] ScareCrow_, this might help you if it's not your router/forwarding: http://www.moko.ru/doc/apache/bind.html [04:12] gorgonzola: each machine should have one instance of avahi-daemon running. [04:12] Mastablasta: sudo service lightdm restart; is more than enought, but simply log out/in should do [04:13] airtonix: are you sure that that would not provoke conflicts if they are running the same kind of services? [04:13] gorgonzola: i am positive. [04:13] qin: Ok, thanks I am on a screen says configuring gdm gdm or lightdm? [04:13] airtonix if you have a reference to documentation for that, i buy you a pizza. [04:14] Mastablasta: right now you using lightdm, gdm is gnome "native" [04:14] gorgonzola: lets start with the basics. do you understand what avahi is for ? [04:14] ill give it a shot mace268 [04:15] ScareCrow_: why not try the DMZ? [04:15] yes. i do. i just need to know if the avahi-dns-daemon part will provoke conflict, as it sounded like it was keeping a cache and functioning as name resolver [04:15] Qin: ok thank you swtiched to gdm to try it out [04:15] whch could get kinda funky if there's like... thre of them [04:15] gorgonzola: it only announces it's own hostname as a CNAME [04:15] ScareCrow_: when i say "locally", i dont mean "localhost".. i mean, another machine on the lan [04:16] holstein because i already have, the issue is NOT my router. [04:16] i see. thank you very much for your help :) [04:16] gorgonzola: actually it only announces its own hostname > ip as a CNAME after it hears a request for that hostname as a mulitcast queries [04:16] ScareCrow_, at least you can see if those directives are set if nothing else [04:16] gorgonzola: no problems. [04:16] then you can at least rule it out if it doesn't fix it [04:16] even if its serving services like dlna and things? [04:17] ScareCrow_: worked "out of the box" for me.. also, http://www.turnkeylinux.org/ are handy (though not supported here) and basically run live instances you can test with, and remove the OS from the equation, since you are over troubleshooting the router [04:17] gorgonzola: yes, it also announces services the host machine provides as TXT records [04:17] thanks mace268 this is something i havent tried yet [04:18] gorgonzola: you can see this info on your local network with avahi-discover [04:18] I'm trying to merge Debiab's and Ubuntu's mailman packages and getting nowhere.

[04:50] bshah: nothing in ubuntu 13.04 is preveting that.. but, you'll need to ask the maintainer what you need, and how to get it [04:50] then why can't I do anything in /root?

[04:53] Well, this began after using xset [04:53] Vedrit: grub-install takes a partition id, not a folder [04:53] So I have to assume it is somehow tied to me altering the acceleration settings using xset [04:53] ok, lets see if Ubuntu and Grub will load now [04:53] Foxhoundz: i would reboot... and see that the settings dont "persist".. sounds like misconfiguration and not a bug === KindOne- is now known as KindOne [04:55] I have a feeling the issue, whatever it is, hasn't been solved...

I just installed Ubuntu on the machine and the only thing that works is a wired connection [05:03] I've also checked for drivers, but there weren't any in the sources.

[05:10] Vedrit: ChogyDan> Vedrit: pastebin the commands, and their output [05:10] Booting up, there are no commands or outputs [05:11] Vedrit: You ran 'sudo grub-install /dev/something' earlier. Post the real command you used, post the output, add details about how your drives are configured [05:11] I don't have easy access to any of that, I hope you're aware [05:12] Vedrit: I want to try to help but you're giving us no information that is helpful. [05:12] Vedrit, This a dual boot if so with what? [05:13] There's not a whole lot of information. I told Ubuntu to install on a single drive with no partitions [05:14] Vedrit: and what command di you use? What partition is your ubuntu installation installed on? Come on... [05:14] Vedrit, Run this app from a live cd just the bootinfo summary and post the url generated. https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Boot-Repair [05:14] I entered in "sudo grub-install /dev/sda" because I had no idea where to install it [05:15] wilee-nilee: that application doesn't exist as far as I'm aware. If it does, I can't run it becuase I can't run anything [05:15] Vedrit, Use that app it wil contain pretty much all the info we need with a bunch of questions [05:15] Vedrit, You can from a live cd look at the link. [05:16] hello [05:16] So, another disk...I'm tempted to just say screw it and go back to Windows. At least it installs itself properly [05:18] hi, ubuntu-ers, I am trying to debug mysterious ubuntu 13.04 crashes (probably hardware related, but I want to know which part). Looking at logs I see a wall of ^@^@^@^@^@ chars. [05:18] Vedrit, You very quickly going downhill here for any good help, we don't care what you run, if you want help read carefully and ask questions where you do n ot understand. [05:18] Does that ^@ mean anything to anyone? [05:19] rado_, This is ubuntu support that mens at [05:19] You guys are asking for info I do not have and cannot quickly get, and offer a tool that will take just as long to get into place [05:19] wilee-nilee: mens at? [05:19] Vedrit, Takes a couple of minutes to boot a live cd and another to run the app, maybe 5-7 min. [05:20] Someone said that Grub is installed on a partition. But There shouldn't be any partitions [05:20] No, it's taking 5-7 minutes just to get the disk to boot [05:20] It's by no means quick [05:20] Vedrit, Are you talking about a dd to a partition. ubuntu has to have a partiton. [05:20] It asked about partitions and I said no [05:21] Vedrit, YOU have to have a partition for ubuntu [05:21] Well, I don't know where it's at and neither does BIOS [05:22] Vedrit, Well thats it for me you are not even coming close to cooperating, if you run the bootinfo script you will more than likely get to the bottom of this. [05:22] bootinfo? I'm assuming that's part of the boot repair that hasn't even finished downloading [05:23] Like I said: You're asking for info I don't have [05:23] Cooperation or not, I don't have it [05:23] your making no sense [05:23] Just as much sense as you guys are making to me [05:23] welcome to ignore, have a good one. ;) [05:24] wilee-nilee: Please stop announcing your ignores.

[07:32] all gone now :P [07:33] hi [07:33] uhm, so i guess nobody has a solution to my "root fs not found" problem during boot? :D [07:34] Hawthorn, Do you have home separated, and have you checked the uuid in fstab? === markalanevans_ is now known as markalanevans [07:35] well, the entry for root just points to /dev/sda3 for the defunct kernel, the one that works has a funky hexadecimal number [07:36] but i tried adding the uuid entry to the current kernel and it didn't work either [07:37] Hawthorn, None of that makes sense to me, you wil have to outline how you set up your partitions and if this is customized beyand a root and home what you have done. [07:39] cou;d just be that kernel is broken, it happens === tbn is now known as Guest15862 [07:39] wilee-nilee: uh, i guess i'll just post you a sudo fdisk -l. give me a sec [07:39] hello [07:40] wilee-nilee http://paste.ubuntu.com/6005524/ [07:41] hello [07:41] where [07:42] Hawthorn, You have a kernel that works but the latest update has this error right? [07:42] wilee-nilee, yeah 3.5.0-36 works, everything above doesn't [07:42] there is my first time,where others [07:42] Hawthorn, Those above are upgrades form the repos, how many sets? [07:43] from* [07:43] questo compiz è una tortura [07:43] china [07:43] I don't run 12.04 is all [07:43] wilee-nilee uhm, sets? :D [07:44] i am having kernal issues on one of my distros (dpkg is compllaining) but i am too lazy (not in that distro atm) to redownload the debs atm [07:44] Hawthorn, Kernels have boot and recovery a set [07:44] !it | nuc [07:45] nuc: Vai su #ubuntu-it se vuoi parlare in italiano, in questo canale usiamo solo l'inglese. Grazie! (per entrare, scrivi « /join #ubuntu-it » senza virgolette) [07:45] wilee-nilee oh you want to know how many kernels i have in grub? [07:45] Hawthorn, I can't tell if the word those is a plural, meaning more that one kernal. [07:45] when does ubuntu clean up old kernels anyhow? i have three now from updates [07:46] above the one that works [07:46] fudus, YOu have top do it. [07:46] to* [07:46] not automatic then? hm === trench_ is now known as trench [07:46] no [07:46] wilee-nilee oh, i only have 3.5.0-36 (works), 3.5.0-37 (doesn't work) and 3.5.0-39 (doesn't work either) [07:46] cleaned up a while ago [07:47] ubuntu tends to give me a hard time when my /boot partition is close to being full [07:47] Hawthorn, Not sure to be honest. [07:48] i thought the installer used one big partition by default now [07:48] it has since I started with 6.0 [07:49] 0r 6.04 whatever it was [07:49] wilee-nilee yeah i am not sure what it could be either, hehe. [07:49] only thing i noticed is that the entries for -37 and -39 point to /dev/sda3 and not a UUID [07:49] you know any program under ubuntu in particular and linux in general, that can convert roman numerals into normal ones? [07:50] in grub [07:50] hmm think the kernel "my" distro is goofing up on is 3.50.36 [07:50] Hawthorn: That probably means that they don't have a corresponding initramfs (searching for the root filesystem by UUID requires an initramfs). [07:52] Jordan_U why does this make me feel like this will involve some headdesking further down the line? [07:52] :\ [07:52] what would you recommend as the ulimit (memory limit) value per user when I have something like ~30 users, memory is 4GB. now the value is 256MB, but it gets easily over that [07:53] honestly, i love ubuntu, i just dread the moment when i have to do a kernel update because something always goes wrong for me, lol [07:53] idodeisuke, http://www.periodni.com/roman_numerals_converter.html does roman > arabic [07:54] Hawthorn, Why the boot partition, I think that is the problem as far as setting it up to run corrctly, I have never had one in 6 years. [07:55] fudus: Thx, but I kinda wanted to have an offline-solution. [07:55] i will not say the distro (i get grief when i do) but i will say compared to that, kernel upgrades in ubuntu are easy [07:55] :) [07:55] wilee-nilee well, i run a dual boot with windows and i had to use a boot partition because otherwise grub would come up with very funky errors in 11.04 [07:55] do you think I should get more memory for this one http://codepad.org/PjIbdpuh [07:55] Hawthorn, I have 4 OS one is W8. [07:56] there's one in perl, but no idea how to install use it in ubuntu http://manpages.ubuntu.com/manpages/hardy/man3/Roman.3pm.html [07:56] Hawthorn: 11.04 is no longer supported [07:56] i have a number of OS's on a few PCs [07:56] running 12.04 now [07:56] L'avenir des réseaux IRC c'est nous ! irc.blueirc.fr ! www.blueirc.fr !!

Data or audio or what? [08:02] data, it is a video game [08:02] ashton: so it's a DVD? [08:02] muhh yeah i guess.? [08:02] okay well no sorry, yes yes, it is === Le is now known as cjopcjop [08:02] ashton: try this: http://askubuntu.com/questions/147800/ripping-dvd-to-iso-accurately [08:03] though i have to say this is at least not as bad as the last time i updated when it effed up my apt :D [08:03] dd if=/dev/cdrom of=image_name.iso [08:03] How does this command work [08:04] this is my first ubuntu/linux computer [08:04] ashton: dd makes a direct copy. It takes input from Input File (if) and outputs to Output File (of) [08:04] It makes an bit for bit copy [08:04] now how do i find the if for my dvd [08:05] At least on my system cdrom is the generic for both cd and dvd. === thor is now known as Thor [08:17] Trying to install ubuntu on someone else's computer. It's stuck at the page where it says 'Preparing to install Ubuntu' (selecting whether to download third-party software, etc.). I clicked 'continue' and it's just sitting there, apparently doing nothing. Is this sometimes normal or should I be worried? This is a slightly older computer, probably from ~2008 or so (single-core AMD CPU). [08:18] I've made sure that I'm using a 32bit ISO [08:20] hello [08:26] Shirakawasuna, How much ram does it have, I would check the hardware in general against ubuntu. [08:27] 3Gb [08:27] and the liveCD boots up fine (on a usb drive) [08:28] Shirakawasuna, Did you tick the update on the install, what is it you are actually seeing? [08:28] Hello. I've read a tip about assign the forward-/backward buttons on a logitech mouose to Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V (on Windows). Is it possible to assign the buttons the same way on Ubuntu? [08:28] wilee-nilee: I'm seeing the 'busy 'cursor and a the window I described [08:28] well actually now I'm not because I clicked 'quit' and am now partitioning manually to see if it helps [08:39] sweet, it was the partition thing [08:40] manually partioning fixed it [08:40] cool [08:45] hello everyone, I have just updated my 12.04 LTS and after the required reboot it boots without the grafical desktop [08:45] any ideas [08:49] Moscherkobold: what did you upgrade from ? [08:50] ikonia: the automatic update service [08:50] Moscherkobold: I mean which version ? [08:51] ikonia: it´s still the same version, 12.04. It was just a components upgrade [08:51] Moscherkobold: ah, just an update [08:51] Moscherkobold: what video card do you have ? [08:52] ikonia: ikonia sry for the wrong word :) [08:52] Moscherkobold: not at all, just as much my fault [08:52] ikonia: nvidia... i have to look up the details [08:52] Moscherkobold: that's enough for the moment [08:52] Moscherkobold: did you get any nvidia stuff from nvidia.com ? or did it all come from the package manager ? [08:53] ikonia: hmm most probably everything is from the package manager [08:53] Moscherkobold: need to be certain of that, it's important [08:56] hello [08:56] ikonia: I´m sure i have not downloaded something from nvidia but maybe i have used the additional drivers feature [08:56] Moscherkobold: that's ok, thats the correct process [08:56] Moscherkobold: that's good [08:56] Moscherkobold: two final questions, then we can look at it properly [08:56] hello i am new [08:57] Moscherkobold: 1.) I assume this is a physical machine - not a vm [08:57] Moscherkobold: 2.) do you have any PPA's or 3rd party repos on your system (or have you had any) [08:57] using a NVIDIA GeForce GT 520 (GS119), why is it that Ubuntu 12.04 LTS is stuttering like mad, while 13.04 (and 13.10 daily) is much more fluid (experience based on live cd)? [08:57] -GS119+GF119 [08:58] guest09013651: the livecd doesn't have the propitary drivers in place, [08:58] guest09013651: look what xorg modules are being used, compare them, and if needed correct them to the right modules [08:58] ikonia: 1. not a virtual machine 2. i dont think so [08:58] Moscherkobold: can you check cna confirm 2 please - again important [08:59] Moscherkobold: sorry, "check and confirm 2 please" [08:59] guest09013651: later xorg and kernel etc can help [08:59] ikonia: how can i do this? :( [08:59] Moscherkobold: ok, so you'd know if you'd installed any PPA's - that's a good enough for the moment [09:00] ikonia: thanks for your reply. yeah, but i am talking about 12.04 live cd and 13.04 live cd, so both without proprietary i guess. [09:00] guest09013651: yes, and I'm telling you that's why it's not working well [09:00] one stutters, the other doesn't (or, well, let's says stutters much less) [09:01] Moscherkobold: can you run this command "grep EE /var/log/Xorg.0.log" [09:01] hello [09:01] [10:58] guest09013651: look what xorg modules are being used, compare them, and if needed correct them to the right modules <--- do you happen to have a useful link at hand which explains how to do it? [09:01] hello [09:02] hello! just installed 13.04 and steam is super slow. if I make a desktop shortcut to the games and use them, the game crashes after displaying a black screen. Steam runs fine with noveau though (Im using 304 proprietary now, because with noveau some games are not supposed to run). Any ideas? I'm new to Ubuntu (not linux though) [09:02] guest09013651: the issue will be something along the lines of the oder version of noveau drivers on the 12.04 cd do not work as well as the newer versions on 13.04 - this is normally fixed by using the proptitary drivers, but as these are not on the livecd - you are stuck with the weaker noveau ones [09:02] guest09013651: that is the most realistic issue (without doing a real investigation) [09:03] ikonia: done [09:03] "failed to load module "nv" (module does not exist) ... [09:03] Moscherkobold: ok, that's useful [09:03] hi [09:03] Moscherkobold: so the reason it's failing is because the module nv isn't there - the question is why and what we do to fix it [09:03] kernel headers installed? [09:04] Moscherkobold: the nv module is the open driver, have you considered using the propitary ones ? [09:04] i don't think "nv" is the right module name [09:04] Moscherkobold: or do you want to fix the the loading of the open ones [09:04] Ben64: legacy novau === gbit86_ is now known as gbit86 [09:05] ikonia: what do you suggest? :) === jackie is now known as Guest85115 [09:05] when I was installing ubuntu, I chose LVM installation, and now it tells me "The disk drive for /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 is not ready yet or not present" [09:05] Moscherkobold: it depends if you've had good results with the nv module in the past, I personally use the propitary modules as they give better support normally, but it's personal opinion [09:05] what gives? [09:06] Kartagis: is it ready or present ? [09:06] ikonia: should I write down some more details of the log here? [09:06] Moscherkobold: that's enough for the moment, I think we have the basics of the problem [09:06] Moscherkobold: just need to decide how to fix it [09:06] ikonia: yes, afaik [09:06] Moscherkobold: lets do something simple, are you comfirtable using a text editor ? [09:06] Kartagis: how have you checked ? [09:07] Moscherkobold: comfortable with a text editor even [09:07] ikonia: we will see, let´s try :) i think i will start with the open one === Guest85115 is now known as jack [09:08] Moscherkobold: ok, I need you to open one using "sudo" and edit the file /etc/X11/xorg.conf (if you have one) [09:08] ikonia: sudo fdisk -l gives me Disk /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 doesn't contain a valid partition table === jack is now known as guest123456 [09:08] Kartagis: you don't partition a logical volume [09:08] thats it's whole point [09:08] it's a volume, not a disk === gbit86_ is now known as gbit86 [09:08] ikonia: I know, I have typed this to check its existence [09:09] Kartagis: fdisk doesn't show if it exists or if it's valid [09:09] fdisk -l did [09:09] Kartagis: fdisk shows physical partitions/disks partition table [09:09] Kartagis: it doesn't [09:09] Kartagis: actually - you want to argue it, you know better, good luck [09:10] ikonia: is it possible that this file does not exist? [09:10] Moscherkobold: yes, totally [09:10] Moscherkobold: ls -la /etc/X11/xorg.conf will check if it does [09:10] Hey all. I have a question about trackpads in Ubuntu/Linux. This is absolutely not meant to be a troll question, though I realise it sounds that way, but... when are trackpads going to stop sucking ass in Linux? I have a multi-touch trackpad. I used to use Linux many years ago before I switched to shiny OS X, but I want to switch back to Ubuntu now. I feel like my grandmother must feel using a computer though. I have zero accuracy, it constantly cl [09:10] ikonia: I'm not saying I know better. I'm just telling you what I see and here it is: http://paste.debian.net/27398/ [09:11] Is there an effort being made to fix this? Can I somehow contribute to it? [09:11] for me, trackpads are much nicer in linux than in windows, blarghl. And using gestures is pretty limited when DEs themselves offer no real functions for them [09:11] e.g. what does KDE do with a four-finger swipe? [09:12] ikonia: i was wrong the file is there [09:13] Shirakawasuna: I don't even care about gestures. I care for basic basic basic things, like being able to rest my thumb on the lower part of my trackpad (since Macbooks have no actual buttons anymore.) I want to be able to click without the mouse pointer moving (because it interprets my finger pad pushing down as a movement of the cursor just before the click event fires). I care about selecting text working properly: pretty much impossible currentl [09:13] Moscherkobold: that's fine, lets edit it [09:13] hello? I have a process running as root with pid:?, program: unknown TCP how can I get to know what's this? [09:14] Kartagis: yes, and that's why I've told you 3 times "fdisk does not provie it's ready" [09:14] Shirakawasuna: I think if I had physical buttons on my trackpad I'd be able to cope, but more and more laptops are moving to buttonless trackpads and the support for them is really bad. [09:14] Kartagis: but you want to argue it, [09:14] blarghl: all of those things work fine out of the box for me [09:15] blarghl: make sure you have palm detection turned on, wherever that is in ubuntu nowadays. [09:16] ikonia: so, what do I do? does LVM actually use swap? if it doesn't, do I remove it from /etc/fstab? [09:16] Shirakawasuna: Don't take offence at this, but I wonder if it's Stockholm Syndrome in your case. Have you tried using a trackpad in OS X? I went a week with the best intentions and seriously wanting to stay with Ubuntu but on the same machine the same trackpad was so bad I couldn't do even basic tasks after a while. [09:16] hi sir [09:16] hello [09:17] Shirakawasuna: I intend to try it again very soon and playing with it a lot more, but yeah. In direct comparison, it was genuinely painful to use, and that's _such_ a shame. [09:17] ikonia: just wondering: let's say someone has a NVIDIA GeForce series 6 or series 7 GPU. NVIDIA seems to have stopped releasing new drivers for those recently. the latest driver says "Added support for X.org xserver ABI 14 (xorg-server 1.14)" in it's changelog. what will be the last Ubuntu version that can be uses with a GeForce 6 or 7 with using proprietary drivers? [09:17] hii sir [09:17] how to recover the deleted files [09:17] hello! just installed 13.04 and steam is super slow. if I make a desktop shortcut to the games and use them, the game crashes after displaying a black screen. Steam runs fine with noveau though (Im using 304 proprietary now, because with noveau some games are not supposed to run). Any ideas? I'm new to Ubuntu (not linux though) [09:17] -uses+used [09:17] blarghl: Yes I've used mac trackpads. They are actually not that great, particularly since they're clickpads [09:18] how to recover the deleted files [09:18] guest09013651: I'm not aware of those cards being dropped - just no additional development, I could be wrong though [09:18] how to recover the deleted files [09:18] ikonia: I can not open this file, i have tried gedit [09:18] sree: Backups. [09:18] Kartagis: lvm swap partition is just that - a swap partition, you don't need it, I suspect it's not marked as swap [09:18] Shirakawasuna: I dislike clickpads too, but they genuinely work well in OS X. If I have to, I'll take a mouse along with ubuntu, but I'd rather not :( [09:18] no back up sir [09:18] Moscherkobold: ok, so "sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf" [09:18] sree: Then there's your answer. [09:19] blarghl: My trackpad is much more accurately responsive, on my thinkpad. It actually goes where I want it to. I can also click + drag very easily, which requries not using the clicking part of a clickpad [09:19] i dont have backup sir [09:19] sree: Then you've lost your files. [09:19] blarghl: I also have physical buttons, so I can simulate middle clicks [09:19] Shirakawasuna: I mean, I fully expect some trackpad drivers to work better than others. [09:19] ikonia: ah gedit does not work without a grafical desktop, right? :) sry [09:19] Kartagis: is this a post install error or an error in the installer [09:19] Shirakawasuna: And as I said, I expect that physical buttons work better than clickpads. [09:19] Moscherkobold: correct, [09:19] blarghl: I also use my keyboard for most things because it is simply much faster than gestures or having a needlessly huge trackpad (some kind of placeholder for a tablet or something) [09:19] ikonia: during boot [09:20] ikonia: ok file is open :) [09:20] Kartagis: so it's probably either the volume is not ready, or not marked as swap, [09:20] Moscherkobold: search for a line that says Driver "nv" [09:20] Shirakawasuna: I do too, but trackpads help when you're not yet comfortable with keyboard shortcuts in a new OS. [09:20] blarghl: So while mac users are clicking around trying to find their windows, I'm breezing along with 6 desktops and getting things done [09:20] Kartagis: try to swapon the swap volume manually [09:20] ikonia: /dev/mapper/ubuntu--vg-swap_1 none swap sw 0 0 <--- this is what I have in fstab [09:21] Kartagis: forget fstab, try to swap it on manually [09:21] Kartagis: it's either a.) not active b.) not formatted for swap [09:21] ikonia: how do I check whether it's marked as swap? [09:21] blarghl: maybe you should stop trying to make your linux machine act like a mac? Learn your shortcuts. And tweak your synaptics settings, since the defaults are apparently not turned on or something (like palm detection). [09:21] ikonia: looks like you're right: http://www.nvidia.com/object/IO_32667.html [09:21] Shirakawasuna: Hey now, so am I. OS X is mostly fine with keyboard shortcuts too. :) It's just a matter of learning a new set, especially since in Linux the keyboard shortcuts aren't as unified as in OS X. [09:21] ikonia: this file seems almost empty... only 6 lines? [09:21] Kartagis: for the last time - try to swap it on manually ! [09:21] you can also mess with palm detection settings [09:21] guest09013651: so I wouldn't worry [09:21] it's all in synaptics [09:21] Moscherkobold: thats not a bad thing [09:22] Shirakawasuna: I never said I was.

[09:34] as that's just a symlink [09:34] no idea [09:35] Kartagis: so "I don't know" is the answer to "is it anything to do with lvm" as you don't know [09:35] Kartagis: don't say "no" if you don't know, say "I don't know" [09:35] Kartagis: did you select any encyption at install time for anything [09:35] okay [09:36] ikonia: re [09:36] I didn't specifically encrypt anything by command, and if I have done it during installation, I don't absolutely remember [09:37] Moscherkobold: ok, take a look at this file http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1270209 [09:38] Moscherkobold: what I want you to do is put the "driver" line = vesa in your xorg.conf in the Device section for your video card [09:38] Kartagis: can you pastebin your fstab and cryptab please.

[09:39] Moscherkobold: well, not quite, do you have a section for your video card in your Xorg.conf ? [09:39] ikonia: no [09:39] Moscherkobold: ok, so take the lot then [09:40] (just the videocard section - not the whole file) [09:40] Moscherkobold: so first 4 lines [09:40] ikonia: ok [09:40] Moscherkobold: then reboot - it's performance will suck - but you should get a desktop and we can move forward from there [09:42] ikonia: http://paste.debian.net/27412/ [09:43] Kartagis: ok - so you have 2 swap partitions, [09:43] Kartagis: one for the raw lvm device, the othe for swap [09:43] Kartagis: I suspect you have encypted swap, which is why the swap header is wrong as it's encypted [09:43] Kartagis: easy solution is to remove line 12 - and your problems should go away [09:44] I'll try thanks [09:44] brb, lunch [09:45] hi, what does " net.ipv4.conf.all.log_martians" do in /etc/sysctl.conf ?

[09:49] ikonia: generally yes but i have to write it all [09:50] Moscherkobold: does this machine have internet access without th egui ? [09:50] without the gui [09:50] * ele64 jump [09:50] ikonia: generally yes, how can i make sure? === ubuntu is now known as Guest60804 [09:51] Moscherkobold: do "sudo apt-get update" see if it works [09:51] I have recently had to reformat my whole harddrive. So I made a backup of my /home, simply putting everything into a tar.gz. Problem is: The critical stuff wasn't included into the archive, and now I'm missing a lot of stuff. It seems all folders that might contain passwords, keys and such stuff were omitted. Why? [09:51] And exactly these folders, not all hidden folders or something [09:51] Hello. Is there a way to install a threadsafe version of sqlite3 in ubuntu? === Guest60804 is now known as Monotoko [09:51] ikonia: yes [09:52] Moscherkobold: yes ! ok, so "sudo apt-get pastebinit" [09:52] jost what command did you use exactly? [09:52] gvo: don't know, but I think I used the XFCE-GUI for that [09:53] jost don't know of anything that would behave that way. [09:53] ikonia: i´ve added "install": worked [09:53] hello! just installed 13.04 and steam is super slow. if I make a desktop shortcut to the games and use them, the game crashes after displaying a black screen. Steam runs fine with noveau though (Im using 304 proprietary now, because with noveau some games are not supposed to run). Any ideas? I'm new to Ubuntu (not linux though) [09:53] Hey guys does anyone know what i can use thats like the system indicator plugin but for Lxde to use for my Raspberry Pi, i want to be able to see a bandwidth graph beside the CPU Graph [09:53] Moscherkobold: music to my ears, cat /etc/X11/xorg.conf | pastebinit [09:53] Moscherkobold: let me know the yrl [09:53] url [09:55] ikonia: cool feature :) http://paste.ubuntu.com/6005847/ [09:55] gvo: its really weird, almost everything is there, but e.g. .ssh, .filezilla and .mozilla are missing... [09:55] Moscherkobold: ahhh !!! [09:55] jost only dot files? [09:55] Moscherkobold: silly mistake, easy to fix [09:56] mariachi: Which desktop are you using? Gnome? XFCE? [09:56] unity? [09:56] gvo: I think so, I've not come across a missing non-dot file. But other dot-files/directories are there [09:56] fresh 13.04 installation [09:56] jost by default the file manager doesn't list dot files so if you did a backup of only the visible files in the FM you missed the . files. [09:56] mariachi: so Gnome (Unity is a shell) [09:56] ;) [09:56] mariachi: install xfce4, log off and try the XFCE session which is selectable from the login screen [09:56] jost are you sure the dot files you see weren't put there during the reload of the system? [09:56] Moscherkobold: make your xorg.conf look like this http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/6005856/ [09:57] Moscherkobold: the first line was your video card line, so you created a conflict [09:57] gvo: no, I'm looking directly in the archive [09:57] ikonia: upsi :) [09:57] ActionParsnip, will do [09:57] Moscherkobold: not at all, it's not easy to see if you're not a regular user [09:57] jost So tar ztf .tar.gz lists some but not all dot files? [09:57] Moscherkobold: just explaining so you understand the issue [09:58] Moscherkobold: the "nologo" option is a left over from your old video setup, so that's your video card line, so lets strip the nologo option, and add the driver vesa line [09:58] Moscherkobold: get it ? [09:58] ikonia: reboot running [09:58] Moscherkobold: ok, lets see if this is better [10:00] gvo: yes, exactly... [10:00] and it seems that all missing folders are the ones that might contain sensitive data [10:01] mariachi: its small and is a great test :) [10:01] jost that plain wierd. THere's nothing that I know of that would cause that. [10:01] ikonia: still not working, i will have a look if I wrote a mistake [10:01] jost I assume you were running as the user who owns the files when you did the backup [10:02] Moscherkobold: lets do the error check again too please [10:03] gvo: that could be the reason... I don't remember, but It could be that I ran it via LiveCD [10:03] ikonia: Screen(s) found, but none have a useable configuration [10:03] and these folders were not allowed for others to be read or something [10:03] which would make sense [10:04] jost OK so it wouldn't be able to see directories that were mode 700 for instance. [10:04] jost and wouldn't back them up. [10:04] Moscherkobold: ok, so that's a little better [10:05] gvo: Ok, so no hope to get the data back :( [10:05] Thanks for the help [10:05] Moscherkobold: lets take a different approach [10:05] Moscherkobold: dpkg -l | grep -i nvidia | pastebinit [10:05] Moscherkobold: lets try to go straight to the fix [10:05] jost not unless you have another backup . You weren't doing regular backups, I guess. [10:05] rather than mess around with a bridge to the fix [10:06] gvo: yeah, you guessed right :( === christian is now known as Guest75937 [10:06] gvo: seems nobody does, especially of "important" data....

[10:38] ikonia: lsmod shows: [10:38] nvidia 9425278 0 [10:38] thats all [10:38] ikonia: kills X too, might have loaded the driver etc. I've seen it help [10:38] Moscherkobold: ok, so the nvidia module is loaded [10:38] ActionParsnip: X isn't running..... [10:38] ActionParsnip: that's his issue [10:38] ikonia: ahhh i see [10:39] Moscherkobold: ok, so the kernel module is loaded, which is good, [10:39] Moscherkobold: sudo service lightdm restart [10:39] maybe [10:39] Moscherkobold: just out of interest can you show me the output of uname -a [10:39] lets see what kernel you're running, [10:40] Moscherkobold: something in this update has really screwed you and I'm quite surprised [10:40] ikonia: sudo service lightdm restart is in progress [10:40] Moscherkobold: that's good, but that won't fix the root issue, [10:41] Moscherkobold: lets wait until that finishes [10:41] ikonia: i saw same kernel, kernel headers things in the update... [10:41] Moscherkobold: we'll deal with that once your current tests are finished [10:41] ikonia: ok, how long is this command usually working? [10:42] Moscherkobold: should be very quick [10:43] Moscherkobold: 10 - 15 seconds [10:43] ikonia: it says checking battery state OK [10:43] and now i have a blinking cursor [10:43] can someone explain to me the three numbers in a preseed file: [10:43] d-i partman-auto/expert_recipe string \ [10:43] boot-root :: \ [10:43] 40 50 100 ext3 \ [10:43] Moscherkobold: want to try my xorg.conf ?

[10:58] I have decided that I quite like irssi [10:58] crazyhorse: no, there isnt. That's why there are options in all software situations [10:59] crazyhorse: there is no single best. There may be a best for a certain set if users needing features from one which is not in the others but that doesnt mean it is the best for all [10:59] crazyhorse: why not try a few and evaluate, then make your choice for which you think is best [10:59] So I can't just try it without installing vbox ubuntu or maybe a linux with very small foot print ( not much space ), I thought while I guess you guys hate flash that you might still know if I can use stage3d on it.

[11:03] Hi. I have a rather stupid question. If ones creates a new user account using useradd as root, but does not set a password for the user, is the new account then secured against any login attempt (e.g. via ssh, the console,...)? Or is it possible to log in as that user without giving a password? [11:03] justinfront: run Ubuntu from CD, it will boot to RAM and give you the OS without changing the installed system [11:04] alveraan: I believe it is locked out until you set password [11:04] alveraan: only root (and users with sudo access) can make users. Users cannot make users, so all accounts will be made (efectively) by root [11:04] I don't have working CD drive, I have another machine but really prefer the screen,keyboard and mouse pad of my old leopard. [11:05] justinfront: got a USB storage you can use, or SD card (assuming you can boot SD) [11:05] ActionParsnip, ok thanks, that's what I suspected. And as I'm reading the passwd man page, the -d switch actually deleted a password that was set before. [11:06] yer I might try that I just wanted to find out what status of stage3d was before I went through all that pain. [11:06] *deletes [11:06] justinfront: making a USB stick and booting to it isnt terribly painful at all... [11:07] Where would I put the second bit here?

[11:39] when I run a command prefixed with nohup, it is pending, I don't see the default teminal line where I can run other commands, isn't it the point of nohup to run it in background? [11:39] Yes, I have a problem when starting Ubuntu 12.04 [11:39] Johnny_Linux: Users was targeted with malware. The Tor network is still intact [11:40] they should built their own browser [11:40] bibl23: Did you put & at the end of the command? That will run the command in the background. nohup will stop the program being killed when the terminal is closed. [11:40] bibi23 use & to run it in the background [11:40] Johnny_Linux: there is a tor browser [11:40] I think It's a problem with X server [11:40] its ff [11:41] or nvidia driver [11:41] Grraff: do you get the login screen ok? [11:42] no, it's a command line needed [11:43] Grraff: did you get an issue after installing the nvidia driver?

[12:06] do I have to uninstall nvidia-common before installing nvidia-current? [12:06] Grraff: nvidia-common is in a default install [12:06] Grraff: so you will need it [12:06] ok [12:06] if I use require_membership_of in the pam_winbind config, it works unless the user in AD has "User must change password at next logon" flag enabled, then it ignores the requirements [12:06] has anyone seen this before? [12:06] I'll try it now. Thnak you for your help, I'll be back in a moment! [12:07] Ponch0: I would delete some redundant kernels (linux-image) with the synaptic package manager [12:07] minimec: Ok, those are the initrd.img files? [12:07] minimec: uname -a will show the running kernel. dpkg -l | grep linux-image will show the installed kernels. You can remove any kernel(s) you want just not the running one or the one without version numbers === dean|away is now known as dean === tvoss|lunch is now known as tvoss [12:08] minimec: uninstall the packages and it will clean up [12:08] ActionParsnip: I see, I have to uninstall first, and that would also be through synaptic? [12:08] ActionParsnip: Well... Tell that to Ponch0... ;) [12:09] minimec: d'oh [12:09] Ponch0: just remove the package and the kernels will be removed and Grub will also be cleaned up [12:09] Ponch0: I guess you got your answer... ;) [12:10] dfceaef, yo guy [12:10] ActionParsnip: thanks, there seems to be three different types of files, I'm aware of which kernel I'm on just not sure which packages I should be going after [12:10] minimec: thank you [12:10] <_name> using chromium youtube gives me some videos in html5 even though im not part of the trial, and html5 videos just say "This video is currently unavailable", ive been googling around but cant find a good solution, could someone help me fix it? [12:10] abc_: whats up [12:11] Ponch0: just remove the packages, you dont need to worry about the files, just like you dont when you install new kernels [12:11] dfceaef, 。。。if we type Chinese here ,what Will going on?

'remove the ... running kernel' [12:16] Ponch0: do not remove the running kernel or its extra configs or whatever it's called [12:17] Ponch0: lets make this super easy [12:17] Ponch0: what is the output of: dpkg -l | grep linux-image | awk {'print $2'} | grep -v ^rc; uname -a; lsb_release -a [12:17] Ponch0: us a pastebin to hold the output [12:18] actionparsnip [12:18] sudo not working it gives : sudo: /usr/lib/sudo/sudoers.so must be only be writable by owner [12:18] sudo: fatal error, unable to load plugins [12:19] ActionParsnip: http://pastebin.com/L8ynL3VQ [12:19] prasad: then chmod is as necessary [12:19] Actionparsnip : thank you very much.

[12:29] daftykins: needs to be vanilla [12:29] doesn't mean it doesn't work :D [12:29] daftykins: otherwise ssh / rsync does the trick [12:30] fair enough [12:30] just hate to see people go 'rah rah plaintext' when it's not the only way [12:31] yeah these are for devices connecting over private networks for firmware updates [12:31] ftp is nsa approved [12:31] I didn't design the devices.. i wouldn't have chosen ftp as the communications mechanism [12:31] crazyhorse: Sometimes you don't need a lot of security.

Should I file a bug? or should I just chock it up to the mysteries of whatever [12:56] memand you can make sda1 and sda2 [12:56] k1l_: The reason I'm asking is that I want to try making LFS but I'd like to make it on my local hard drive, but maybe I could just resize the patitions I all ready have and make some more partitions for LFS to live in? [12:57] memand: yes, you could create more partitions (be aware of th 4 primary limit) [12:57] memand: maybe use a virtual machine instead? [12:57] Could not open a connection to your authentication agent. << i get this every day from ssh-add [12:58] any ideas? [12:58] wzt2617: I have been thinking about that but if I like the LFS experience I'd like to be able to let it take over the whole system [12:58] crazyhorse: ssh-agent is not running or the environment vars pointing to it are unset/wrongly set [12:59] wzt2617: weird [12:59] hmm [12:59] crazyhorse: check content of SSH_AUTH_SOCK and SSH_AGENT_PID [12:59] both blank [13:00] 1000 4332 0.0 0.0 14652 784 ?

[13:01] crazyhorse: even if the agent is running, you have to be in the session in which is was started. otherwise you have to set those vars manually. [13:01] ohhh [13:01] how can i get it to start up automatically? [13:01] memand: just put up a extended one and putt the stuff in there. for recommendations for LFS see he LFS docu [13:01] crazyhorse: so check the env of a process in that session [13:02] crazyhorse: ssh-agent should start automatically in desktop sessions [13:02] k1l_: k, thanks :) [13:02] hmm, well so probably not working then.. anyway how do i fix it?

[13:31] azerus AD is active directory? windows? [13:31] yes [13:31] eden_: normally yes, but the rest of the hardware has also some importance, specially the amount of ram, or the speed of the harddrives. [13:31] revolver14: it shouldnt do, it should load just fine with the preinstalled open drivers [13:31] winbind/samba is working fine through AD [13:32] revolver14: but you may need to switch to prop drivers after the install [13:32] the require_membership_of option in pam_winbind is being ignore if the user has the 'user must change password at next logon' flag [13:33] Would there be a specfic channel for getting some help with a script for Ubuntu?

[13:37] ActionParsnip, yes [13:38] eden_: sounds like the usb turns off when not on mains, do you have the latest BIOS? [13:38] eden_: are there bugs reported? [13:38] eden_: Probably the USB port or the mouse have a stand by mode, and the device is going into that mode, when on battery. I would install the tool powertop and check for such a setting. 'Good' would mean saving power, 'Bad' full power. Put it to 'Bad'. [13:38] ActionParsnip, yes i have the latest bios [13:38] Hakameda: just ask, if the script is too generic, you may want to try #bash or something [13:38] ActionParsnip, i have laptop-mode tools isntalled [13:39] ActionParsnip, wut i think problem fixed changed the usb port Hhahaha [13:39] ActionParsnip, Wow howw i never thought of that [13:39] ActionParsnip, i feel dumb [13:40] ActionParsnip, minimec thanks [13:40] i got a script i want to run as a different user with no login, however it needs to run in a screen and it needs to be viseble when i use screen -ls as root, any idea how i can do that?

Does anyone have experience with pam_groupdn [13:46] i have a problem after installing elementary os luna stable edition, but it fail to start at the 1st boot.. and stop at after "start domain [ok]" do anyone know how to solve the problem? [13:47] awaken_gylan1979, think you joined the wrong channel. This is ubuntu [13:47] awaken_gylan1979: better to try in the elementary os support [13:48] good morning guys... question on video cards... based on what questions you are asked here, is there one type of video card that seems to be problematic? [13:48] my primary os is ubuntu 13.04 too... [13:48] marianne, I have had lots of pro [13:48] awaken_gylan1979: doesn't matter -- we only support ubuntu here. [13:48] marianne, I have had lots of problems with AMD/ATI cards [13:49] marianne: ATI drivers seam to have more problems than Nvidia [13:49] ic... [13:49] then i would like to ask about my ubuntu 13.04 problem... [13:49] Hello. I created a fakeRAID, and I can see it if i manually run "mdadm --assemble --scan", but after the reboot the array is gone and i have to run "mdadm --assemble --scan" again. How can i get this done automatically? [13:49] does that not make sense, awaken_gylan1979, we don't know anything about elementary. [13:49] awaken_gylan1979: ask away :D [13:50] i am sick of installing nvidia driver... [13:50] six86: mdadm manages software raids, i don't think it manages fakeraids [13:50] thats a question ? [13:50] Eagleman: sudo screen -dmS my su -c /path/to/script otheruser [13:51] awaken_gylan1979 type /join #elementary it's not supported here, you won't find help here [13:51] mjayk: I currently have Nvidia and since I'm doing a build from scratch, just want to make sure I'm not buying myself a completely unknown issue [13:51] it doesn't operate well.. after the clean installation, i street to install bumblebee..the latest version.. [13:51] Eagleman: this will start a detached screen session owned by root running the script as user "otheruser" [13:51] both amd and nvidia will work but nvidia drivers for linux tend to be better [13:51] marianne: i have 2 ati cards when they work its fine but there seams to be an underlying idea which is probably true that nvidia have alot better linux support driver wise [13:52] :) i am asking about nvidia driver on my ubuntu 13.04... [13:52] with nvidia: are we including Optimus? [13:52] tomreyn: thats what I found and it works when invoked manually... At least i think i have a fakeraid. It's an intel controller (Thinkstation D30, C600 chipset) [13:52] because my Optimus setup is really buggy, especially under Unity, which it can rather quickly crash === BTCOxygen is now known as Guest52686 === BTCOxygen|1 is now known as BTCOxygen [13:53] otend: i dont think Optimus is good on linux atm but i dont see how thats a problem as he is building a desktop? [13:53] oh. sorry, didn't catch everything. [13:53] was curious as to whether that was relevant [13:53] otend: if you run: sudo lshw -C display do you see an Intel GPU too [13:53] otend: there was a question mark because i wasnt sure if optimus was jsut for laptops / power stuff === Termana is now known as Guest69252 [13:54] mjayk: This will only be my second from the ground up build... my current 'puter was built about 6 years ago.... so I'm just lurking in the room to see what kinds of issues i might run into during an install [13:54] there is indeed an Intel GPU. I've got Bumblebee going, and Intel is the primary. [13:54] six86: assuming what you setup is actually a software RAID (setup using mdadm or the ubuntu installer) then it should be automatically assembled at boot, based on information stored in the initrd. the initrd is often updated automatically when you make changes which need to go there, but you can do this manually running "sudo update-initramfs -u" [13:54] i am using nvidia geforce 540M, can anyone please guide me the way to make this work on my ubuntu13.04.. [13:54] and yeah, it's only for laptops and power saving [13:55] awaken_gylan1979: did you go into the software center and load the additional drivers? [13:55] marianne: ive build a few in the last 5 years or so and i believe you will find it ALOT easier than you did 6 years ago, more and more hardware just works [13:55] wait, since this is an M, are you using an Optimus setup, or is it pure Nvidia? [13:55] marianne: yes.. but nothing listed... [13:55] what happen to the text printed on screen while i use "screen" command ! [13:56] tomreyn: already did that. I also reconfigured mdadm. But no luck so far. When I run mdadm reassemble i see my RAID as /dev/md/Data, but its not assembled automatically [13:56] Marlnee: what do you mean? [13:56] marianne: im off goodluck with your build [13:56] mjayk: I've learned more during that time too.... but I can't think of any better way to spend a rainy afternoon...later [13:56] six86: do your logs say why it is not assembled automatically? [13:56] awaken_gylan1979, is this an Optimus system (both Intel GPU and Nvidia GPU)? if so, things may get somewhat weird. [13:56] guys how to change my dns adress ?

[13:57] bean all text printed inside screen command iam not able to scroll up to see it [13:57] marianne: yes.. it is an optimus system....(my laptop model: Dell XPS 15 L502X) [13:57] six86: check /var/log/syslog [13:57] Marlnee: yeah, you have to go into copy mode to scroll up [13:57] have you looked into Bumblebee, awaken_gylan1979? [13:57] awaken_gylan1979: Look for additional drivers, not Nvidia [13:57] guys how to change my dns adress ? [13:58] that may be pertinent [13:58] UBOTTU THANX [13:58] You're welcome! But keep in mind I'm just a bot ;-) [13:58] tomreyn: DeviceDisappeared event detected on md device /dev/md126, component device Wrong-Level [13:58] Marlnee: ctrl-a esc then scroll up [13:58] otend: yes..i installed it street after a clean install of ubuntu 13.04 64bit [13:58] magdur: that isn't an ubuntu question unless you're hosting your own DNS server on ubuntu [13:59] marianne: yes, in additional drivers... [13:59] awaken_gylan1979: the things I have installed are NVidia binary X.Org driver [13:59] hm. can you give me what error you get when attempting to install drivers? [13:59] magdur: if you want to change the nameservers used by your applications when resolving hostnames to ip addresses and you use network manager to manage your wireless or wired network connection then you can edit the connection profile you are currently using and set the DNS servers to use manually [13:59] marianne: but it is empty...doesn't list anything.. [13:59] oh. [13:59] that [13:59] awaken_gylan1979: 13.04? [13:59] marianne: but in ubuntu 12.10, it does listed out. [14:00] i did it but it didnt work [14:00] I'm running 12.04 [14:00] it should be recognized by applications if you run them using primusrun [14:00] awaken_gylan1979: 12.04 here... I only do LTS versions [14:00] marianne: yes [14:00] is that where the concern lies, or are we trying to upgrade existing drivers? [14:00] six86: that's over my head, but it sounds like one of the RAID devices may have incorrect metadata. check the detailed information on the various devices which form the RAID and make sure it matches. [14:00] since bumblebee, if the site's instructions are followed, installs (old, but working) drivers [14:01] marianne: ic...

[14:11] _N1X_: select it from login screen [14:11] _N1X_ i guess twm is to be used in a terminal login, you can obtain this by using gdm instead of lghtdm [14:11] cario dock is not stable as well, always crash.... .>,<|| how about gnome shell 3.8, please advice...

[14:13] what is twn? [14:13] magdur: editing the connection settings / profile is the right way to get started. so you select the connection to edit there, then you click on "edit", then "ipv4 settings", then set "method" to "automatic (dhcp), addresses only" and specify the dns servers to use, separated by command and space, in the "DNS servers" field. you then need to reconnect using this profile if it was previously active. that should be it.

[14:49] ericbgsu: I use clementine as a music player [14:50] <[Gentoo]> ericbgsu: theres loads of music players [14:51] dsalfran: Which version of Ubuntu are you using, as far as I remember the drivers for android devices were updated with 13.04, I have a Galaxy S3 which I can connect without any issues on 13.04, 12.10 and early it was a pig to get any connection [14:51] I'll check it out...really liked rhythmbox, not sure why it slowly starts using up all my cores [14:51] <[Gentoo]> ericbgsu: is it just to play music or do you need other features [14:52] actually just to stream stations, don't care about mp3 or anything else [14:52] I'm using 13.04, but with kernel 3.10 [14:52] ericbgsu: grooveshark :) [14:52] <[Gentoo]> ericbgsu: i think audacious can do that, [14:52] DJones: I'm using 13.04, but with kernel 3.10 [14:52] dsalfran: we cannot support 3rd party kernels here [14:52] <[Gentoo]> ericbgsu: but you could use mplayer on the cli, or a cli music player [14:53] ActionParsnip: I can go to the stable kernel but the problem with the phone is there still [14:53] dsalfran: All I can suggest is trying it with the default kernels, I haven't had issues with mine (albeit not the S3 mini, just the straight S3) [14:54] I'll try them out...I stream local radio stations [14:54] although grooveshark just got bookmarked, thanks. [14:54] anyone here use geany ... does it have a jump-to-next-error hotkey. i see a "next message" binding, which ithought it would be, but it doesn't seem to work [14:55] never used it as an IDE [14:55] try #geany [14:55] dsalfran: when you disconnect the phone, do you use the safe removal feature in your OS? [14:55] Djones: I have tried, I only wanted to know if there is a chance that rooting the phone I could install something on it to make it work better [14:56] dsalfran: Wouldn't like to say, you might be better asking in ##android (I think thats the general android channel) [14:56] ActionParsnip: Yes, I use the safe removal feature [14:56] >.< Gah, KDE's blur effect has this fresh install crawling at its knees. Takes 5 minutes to do a search in the start menu [14:56] And that's just so I can go turn OFF the blur effect [14:56] Djones: Ah, thanks. I didn't knew that [14:56] Hi, is it possible to run two separate instances of byobu for the same user, differentiating by the public used to connect via SSH? [14:56] we have a typical cloud instance with ubuntu and byobu, and devs are stepping on toes [14:57] we only have the standard ubuntu user [14:57] e-dard: why the same user? [14:57] (basically stock EC2 instance) [14:57] reisio: for deployment and so on it's simpler to have a single user on our servers [14:57] e-dard: why not mount the data remotely and have them use their own systems? [14:57] It's also the default configuration for EC2 Ubuntu instances [14:58] reisio: not sure mounting hundreds of GB of system data to go through it locally is such a good idea. [14:58] they're going to edit hundreds of GB? [14:58] I need networking help - Ubuntu 13.04 on a dell laptop. Cant connect with wi-fi or ethernet [14:59] how about having them work as one user and deploy as the magic one? [14:59] reisio: that's not really the point ;) [14:59] Has anyone here configured an LPD/LPR printer on a Wyse Thinclient to work with a xRDP server? [14:59] e-dard: then why say it... [14:59] reisio: sure, could do that [14:59] Hi === Subo1977_ is now known as Subo1977 [14:59] I have ubuntu 12.04 with nvidia graphic card [14:59] e-dard: so they VNC in? [14:59] gbit86 please rephrase, that phrase is hard to read [14:59] reisio: ssh [14:59] Is it supported in ubuntu? [15:00] ActionParsnip: I could install it after doing: apt-cache search build-essential [15:00] I thought byobu was X only [15:00] I just want to know if it is possible for me to connect a printer via LPD to a linux server running xRDP server, I can figure out there rest [15:00] reisio: I thought the opposite [15:00] mmm, okay [15:00] so a Wyse thin client would have a local usb printer attached, and I would have xrdp to recognize it, so I can print to it in theory [15:00] e-dard: well you could have separate 'screen' sessions easily [15:00] e-dard: presumably byobu requires screen, so you should have screen [15:00] reisio: yeah it does [15:01] or tmux [15:01] any hint for use nvidia graphic card in ubuntu 12.04? [15:01] reisio: OK, I'll look into those options. [15:01] Thanks [15:01] e-dard: perhaps their shells are just setup to [15:01] e-dard: automatically reconnect to existing instances upon login [15:01] you'd want to merely disable that and the problem would be solved [15:01] I am sure if I was using a raspberry pi I could find many ways have making a local printer available to my linux server, but my options are limited to LPD with usb redirection on the Wyse. [15:01] e-dard: poke around in ~/.bash* stuff and the like [15:02] reisio: bybobu is associated with the user on the server instance. when you ssh in, byobu automatically reconnects to your session [15:02] hi, trying to gnome 3.8 but got this message: https://gist.github.com/tyteen4a03/76ec7914262e9fcf636d Can anyone tell me what to do next? [15:02] e-dard: right [15:02] e-dard: but that's almost certainly just configured through the shell's prefs [15:02] so if two people ssh in at the same time they see the same thing, and can both control the shell [15:02] MonkeyDust: was my explanation any better? [15:02] reisio: yes it's a setting [15:02] right, that should be in ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile somewhere [15:02] it seems like you simply don't want that to happen [15:02] . [15:03] reisio: but if you turn it off, and then ssh in, and then type *byobu* would you not both get reconnected to the same session again? [15:03] e-dard: that I don't know, not being familiar with the application, but [15:03] reisio: we do want byobu, because it's useful for keeping the session alive etc. [15:03] e-dard: you could obviously alias it to use a param that avoids that [15:03] e-dard: or screen, or tmux [15:03] @reisio how can I disable it? [15:03] Blackwizard_: disable what? [15:03] yeah I guess screen / tmux might be more flexible [15:04] e-dard: I'd be surprised if byobu didn't have similar optional overrides [15:04] my nvidia graphic card [15:04] but again, I don't know byobu [15:04] Blackwizard_: what for? [15:04] I had the same setup (with screen) on a server once, and it also became less helpful and more confusing :p [15:04] byobu is pretty nice, since it has a few nice options hardcoded in it, but I prefer screen anyway [15:04] i use the initdb.exe, and run pgadmin3. set the host to localhost. but the pgadmin get a connecton refused error [15:04] @reisio I have a problem with my nvidia graphic card in ubuntu 12.04 [15:04] Blackwizard_: what problem is that? [15:05] Does Ubuntu really contain spyware? [15:05] CountryfiedLinux: after a fashion [15:05] @reisio I need a graphic driver for it [15:05] he following packages have unmet dependencies: [15:05] libwxgtk2.9-0-unofficial : Depends: libjbig0 but it is not installable [15:05] Depends: liblzma5 (>= 5.1.1alpha+20120614) but 5.1.1alpha+20110809-3 is to be installed [15:05] E: Unable to correct problems, you have held broken packages. I got this error [15:05] CountryfiedLinux: it contains software that help companies sell you things [15:05] helps* [15:05] lol, besides the popularity check during the install, I wouldnt say so, CountryfiedLinux [15:06] CountryfiedLinux, really?

[15:06] OerHeks: really where , gotta link, [15:07] @reisio I heard my problem is popular one? [15:08] my ram has been in constant use for the last two weeks. Is there any way of telling what process is constantly swapping stuff in and out of my ram? [15:08] Blackwizard_: not having a driver? [15:08] @reisio is there any popular solution for it? [15:08] Blackwizard_: I don't know if I'd say that [15:08] Blackwizard_: yes I gave it to you [15:08] @reisio ok...let me check it...thanks [15:10] e-dard: yes, you can easily create a new "session" in byobu with ctrl-shift-F2 [15:10] OerHeks: check this hick out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=apiH_iUhye4 [15:10] kirkland: ah cool. That's the ticket! [15:10] e-dard: F2 creates new windows, ctrl-F2 creates vertical splits, shift-F2 creates horizontal splits, and ctrl-shift-F2 creates new sessions :-) [15:11] e-dard: when you login, and there are multiple sessions, you'll get prompted to select which one you want [15:12] e-dard: and you can also use alt-Up/alt-Down to move between sessions [15:12] kirkland: great!

Here is a weblink for Canonical: http://www.ubuntu.com/desktop/contact-us [15:31] dunno about the irc chan [15:32] ChogyDan, its more about server support. Also asked in #ubuntu-server [15:32] thejollygrimreap: Well, I don't know about the compiler issue, but NVIDIA-Linux-x86-71.86.15-pkg1.run is what is needed for for your display adapter. [15:32] Siebjee: well, I think if you will out the webpage contact form, you will get in touch with someone who knows all that, who is paid to know all that :) [15:32] thejollygrimreap: Ask on #crunchbang [15:32] Also their main person on the switchboard is not redirecting the call correctly [15:33] oh [15:33] ChogyDan, I need to speak to one more or less like yesterday [15:33] and been trying all day to contact them. Also i have filled in the form 2 days ago [15:34] I can't get the USB install instructions to work, it keeps corrupting my USB [15:34] Siebjee: well, try crashing #ubuntu-devel ?

[15:46] edve: that kinda seems more like Windows support to me [15:47] hey, is it normal that apt-get should not be available from the recovery mode root command prompt? [15:47] er, and if it is, is there a way to boot the machine to the console, but still be able to install packages? === andi__ is now known as eltigre [15:48] (i've noticed that 'network' freezes when i attempt to choose that option, too, which is apparently a known issue) [15:48] diphtherial: why not liveCD and chroot [15:49] hey, I just installed ubuntu on an SSD in my older desktop pc, which previously ran flawlessly under Ubuntu on a normal hard drive... now after the reinstall, the system crashes every few hours [15:49] daftykins i was wondering if it was normal :/ [15:49] any idea what I might do for debugging this? === rahul is now known as Guest70460 [15:49] eltigre: which SSD? [15:49] daftykins: that's not a bad idea; does chroot literally change to where the / refers? [15:49] could it be the nouveau driver for nvidia? Before that I had the proprietary nvidia driver installed [15:49] !chroot | diphtherial [15:49] diphtherial: A chroot is used to make programs believe that the directory they are running in is really the root directory. It can be used to stop programs accessing files outside of that directory, or for compiling 32bit applications in a 64bit environment - see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BasicChroot [15:49] daftykins, Samsung [15:50] diphtherial: yep [15:50] eltigre: latest firmware?

[15:51] daftykins: how do i go about mounting the drive, then chrooting into it to install packages? [15:52] FabioTorino: The page doesn't exist. I'm not sure what you expect us to do about it.

[15:59] ah, alright, that makes some sense [15:59] where in here is my GPU? http://pastebin.com/arJH6rGi [16:00] frankly, i don't even know exactly what this guy's problem is...we're just kind of going over the same old things because he's too intelligent to take my advice verbatim [16:00] which means he says things like "tried that, didn't work" [16:00] Would anyone recommend that I put /usr/sbin in my path? Conversely, would anyone recommend that I NOT put it in my path? [16:00] diphtherial: you'd be able to install software in the livecd environment because you'd have an internet connection, so you'd pull down the tools to be able to mount the hard disk install *then* install stuff on that :) [16:01] daftykins: what are you trying to do? [16:02] rosco_y: i assume that was meant for me? i'm trying to help a colleague troubleshoot his broken ubuntu installation [16:02] diphtherial: ok, I was doing something like that awhile ago, so I peeped up [16:02] apparently he lacks the appropriate graphics card drivers to properly boot from the installation once it's installed; he gets "The system is running in low-graphics mode", and then the machine just freezes up [16:02] ah, thanks :) [16:02] rosco_y: you see how i worded my statement? i'm not the one asking... [16:02] oh, different problem then [16:03] i apologize if i'm being frustrating, and i do appreciate the help [16:03] it's just that we've been in the midst of trying to solve the problem ourselves and so we're at this inconsistent state between being totally helpless and having some idea of what to do [16:04] I was dealing with a "all-in-one" piece of junk, and the hard drive was inaccessible--I let the kids use run it off the live CD [16:04] that works pretty well for them--they like to go on PBS KIds and watch cartoons and play games [16:04] ah, yeah, fortunately the hdd is accessible here :) [16:04] ideal liveCD setup, heh [16:05] no persistent state required [16:05] right, and they can't wreck anything (well, it's a theory) === Nothing_Much_ is now known as Nothing_Much [16:10] I just installed ubuntu 12.04 32 bit on my Toshiba laptop.

[17:30] cloneG: sudo apt-get install jack [17:30] usr13: so I need to install jack and then recordmydesktop would record directly from the sound card? [17:30] adamk: He said jack? [17:30] usr13: okay [17:31] usr13: ? Not sure I understand what you're asking... You are suggesting a solution that requires jack, and I gave him a solution earlier that does not require it. That's all. [17:31] cloneG: But again, I believe you are going the long way around the block if you are recording existing videos via recordmydesktop [17:32] adamk: not necessary but it seems I would need another program called...opensoundrecorder [17:32] cloneG: Why dont you rip the audio stream out of the video? [17:32] cloneG: you dont need any recorder to do so. [17:33] adamk: Well, I asked if he said jack. Apparently he did. He should probably try your solution, maybe he will, I don't know, but his original question was how to get recordmydesktop to capture audio from a video stream. [17:33] usr13: not recording videos but several applications at same time...both graphical and sound players [17:33] adamk: (Although that is not the way he said it, it is obviously what he ment.)

On first setup it only asks me for keyboard and language. I don't have a webcam could this be related? Is this issue common on Ubuntu virtual box installations or is it just an OpenArtist issue? [18:19] i just had to add pm-suspend in /etc/acpi/lid.sh, right after "getXUser" but before "if [ x"$XAUTHORITY" != x"" ]; then [18:19] because i guess the latter wasn't firing off [18:19] It auto sets me up with username "hero" [18:19] I need to run a service when the system starts, its a WEBGUI RAID Managment program, i have tried several different ways all with no luck.

[18:20] justinfrontThink: this is not an ubuntu issue [18:20] justinfrontThink: #openartist for support [18:20] tiky: u can, but for a more clean way, add pm-suspend at the end of the script, === mohammed is now known as Guest43272 [18:20] doesn't the script handle both open and close events tho? [18:21] Ok how do I get round it, I think I had the same problem with mint... I think it maybe ubuntu issue. [18:21] tiky: as the system have to finish the script, then go suspend, to avoid unespected problem [18:21] justinfrontThink: mint is no ubuntu issue, too. see the mint support for that [18:21] wait so what does grep -q closed /proc/acpi/button/lid/*/state look for? [18:21] because there's a big if clause, i guess depemnding on the output of that [18:22] ok so if I try ubuntu and it is still broken I can come back here and get some help? [18:22] and the else clause of that seems to be turning lights on and deactivating xscreensaver [18:22] tiky: its ok, its ur power button who wakes up ur system [18:22] tiky: not the lip [18:22] are you sure? [18:22] justinfrontThink: i know that is not broken on ubuntu. it is something that the spinoffs broke [18:23] tiky: 90% :) [18:23] just being cautious [18:23] justinfrontThink, I suspect all the apps in that OS might be in the ubuntu repos if so you could install ubuntu use them and have support here, the ubuntu forums supports all linux and MS and apple.

[18:34] msbrown - laptop [18:35] basant, Can't be sure what the problem is, however I have found that in general both windows and ubuntu are sensitive to shutdowns of printing processes or deleting them, then requiring a logout or reboot to clear them, thats just my experience not necessarily evryones. [18:35] wilee-nilee, I am thinking perhaps it is a better option to write the file to be printed in a shared folder and let the guest win7 to print and then delete any new file in the folder [18:35] basant, THat was my first thoughy [18:35] thought* [18:35] DONKEEZ: can you bring up a term window, and enter the command (no quotes) 'alsamixer'?

[19:12] Pici: is ubuntu packaging a time consuming this to learn ? [19:12] elisa87: I don't think theres an entry for python in the alternatives system, so you would have to repoint the /usr/bin/python symlink to your python2.7 binary.

[19:23] but i have to use a GUI to let it open and i cant use a terminal to open [19:23] modder24, ctrl-h [19:23] modder24: in the File browser tool, the view selection (next to the Gear button) will let you set "show hidden files" [19:24] modder24: From memory, if you're using nautilus ctrl-h will show/hide hidden files [19:24] wilee-nilee: thnx man, appreciate the info, just wanted to let know in case someone was also looking for such a thing [19:27] thanks now it works [19:30] I have a couple problems: First, I'm trying to install my NVidia drivers through the Additional Drivers application, but it fails and I get pastebin.com/ZL8m4RM8 [19:30] That's the log given [19:32] Can someone tell me what I'm missing? [19:34] vedrit: Which Ubuntu do you have exactly? [19:34] 12.04.2 Server [19:34] vedrit: "dpkg: error: dpkg status database is locked by another process" [19:35] vedrit: what does dpkg -L nvidia-304 say? [19:36] says not installed [19:36] can you install it? [19:36] But when I do the same for 319 (Which is newer) I get a list of directories [19:36] okay [19:37] vedrit: can you select 319 from the GUI thing? [19:38] From the Additional Drivers window? It gives an error that installation of the driver failed, and to look at the log (Which has been linked via pastebin) [19:38] !list [19:38] simgerico: No warez here!

[19:57] Prock81: pretty much just that [19:58] although you can make it do a couple subtle variations [19:58] so the above will take all caps to lowercase? [19:59] is there a ubuntu package for unrealircd, or do I need to compile it? [19:59] Prock81: No, it converts all lowercase to uppercase.

[20:07] fcsk has been running for 13 hours now..ugh [20:08] Whats the process name for the server's full desktop manager? [20:08] vmware service seems to start on startup, how could one go about disabling that? and is it safe to do ? [20:09] vedrit: what? servers desktop manager? [20:10] k1l_: A walkthrough video for installing NVidia drivers, the person ends the process "lightdm" which, as I understand it, is one of the desktop managers. But I didn't install lightdm [20:10] vedrit: i would not rely my server configuration on a YT video. [20:11] vedrit: is this a server or is this a desktop? [20:11] k1l_: Server. I've tried installing the drivers through the Additional Drivers, but it keeps failing [20:11] why do you need nvidia drivers on a server? === iBeliever is now known as iBelieve [20:12] Does it hurt anything to have them? [20:12] What do you need them for? [20:12] in most cases its no needed. so that is why i ask. [20:12] *not [20:12] I'm of the "just in case" mindset [20:13] vedrit: Without a graphical environment, you cant even use them. [20:13] being completely new to Linux and Ubuntu, I want to make sure everything has what it needs [20:13] they actually could come in handy for media processing [20:13] or y'know, bitcoin nonsense [20:13] other not-naturally-done-by-gpu things [20:13] bekks: I am running a graphical environment [20:13] bitcoinz woo [20:13] I'm glad I'm not the only one brand new to Ubuntu [20:14] vedrit: Well, then why dont you use the 12.04 desktop? [20:14] vedrit: a desktop just needs resources that are would be free for the server tasks. so most servers dont run a desktop [20:14] newhite_ we have new enthousiasts every day [20:14] I'd probably be happy with nouveau over hear, but I'm pretty sure the vdpau support for the binary driver is far superior [20:14] over here* [20:14] I run it with a desktop because I have no idea what in the world I'm doing otherwise [20:14] vedrit: but if you want to run a desktop (which i dont recommend on a server) then you can install the drivers [20:14] Monkeydust thanks! [20:15] vedrit: learn. [20:15] jhutchins: sage advice. Thanks. Note the sarcasm [20:15] vedrit: Running a GUI on a desktop introduces vulnerabilities, particularly to user error. [20:15] my first question is when hit ctr + alt + F2, it seems to be a task manger of sorts. How do you leave that application? [20:16] yeah, cause there wouldn't be any user error when entering commands that I don't understand [20:16] vedrit: It also restricts usage and options to something someone else has thought of for you. [20:16] newhite_: Thats no task manager, but the second virtual termina. [20:16] *terminal [20:16] newhite_: ctrl-alt-f7 [20:16] vedrit: The advantage of entering incorrect commands is that the most likely outcome is nothing. [20:16] vedrit: everyone started as a beginner. just read about every command you want to activate [20:17] Thanks, I guess I didn't go far enough down the function keys to find that out myself [20:17] jhutchins: unless it's about putting things in wrong directories, making them either completely unusable or giving me more work down the road for anything that might require whatever I put in said directory [20:18] vedrit: You can even read about what specific directories are for. [20:18] vedrit: how do you want to learn how to use a server if you will never use a server? [20:18] What about stuff that doesn't have a directory [20:18] vedrit: There is no such stuff. [20:19] then you can learn how no distribution agrees where to put things ¬_¬ [20:19] You're kidding, right? There's a whole slew of services that create their own directory or get placed somewhere [20:19] Besides, I don't even know how to get rid of the desktop environment at this point [20:19] vedrit: I am not kidding. Everythin is placed in some directory. [20:20] short of re-installing the whole system which I would really like to avoid, considering how much trouble I had getting it to work [20:20] vedrit: You can just uninstall it, if you like. [20:20] How? [20:20] vedrit in linux, everything is a file, files sit in directories [20:20] vedrit: using apt-get [20:20] but I don't know what it's called [20:21] vedrit: then learn about it while you are reading documentation and wiki pages [20:21] vedrit: again: no one started as a professional. but you need to start learning at some point [20:21] vedrit: The problems you list are much more likely if you use a gui to manage the server. [20:22] vedrit: sudo rm -rf / , then u will have the totally peaceful world [20:22] vedrit: Ctrl-Alt-F1 and there you are, a console. Or open an xterm. Or ssh to the server. [20:22] If problems are fixable, then I can deal with it. At least with GUI I can actually -see- what I'm doing [20:22] Pudge silly joke, vedrit ignore that [20:22] vedrit: You can keep the GUI around as a crutch while you learn, but when you're ready to let go, /etc/init.d/gdm stop [20:22] !danger [20:22] DO NOT RUN THAT COMMAND! That particular command is DANGEROUS and shouldn't be uttered here. REST OF YOU: DANGER, WILL ROBINSON, DANGER! Do not use the command or utter it here thank you! [20:23] k1l_: Really? [20:23] Pudge: your remove command is dumb to suggest - but it won't actually work either, the kernel tries to protect / these days. [20:23] don't forkbomb yourself either :( [20:23] Thank you jhutchins, that's more like what I would like to know. If ever I want to remove it, gdm is what I need to know [20:23] k1l_: Ah, different reference. [20:23] Hi everyone [20:23] vedrit: gdm is the display manager, not your graphical environment. [20:23] k1l_: On which note he seems to have left. Good riddance. [20:24] Is anybody else having problems with the new gnome update in 13.4? [20:24] jhutchins: not talking about your command. but the rm command [20:24] k1l_: Saw that. He's been giving bad advice most of the day. [20:24] I can see my desktop, but gnome isnt loading anymore [20:25] orzo88: Great, you're making progress then! [20:25] bekks: If gdm is the display manager, then whats the graphical environment? [20:25] orzo88: Or was gnome the actual goal? [20:25] So its a big problem for everyone then? [20:25] I just did a system update and now gnome wont load at all [20:25] orzo88: Sorry, being sarcastic about gnome. Which release? [20:26] vedrit: Unity, XFCE, KDE, LXDE, Gnome, etc. [20:26] vedrit: And those are not package names. [20:26] I dont know, im new to Linux, i just used the default system update [20:26] Whichever is default in 13.4 [20:26] vedrit: gdm is from gnome, but it can load pretty much any desktop. [20:27] bekks: Is is possible to find out which environment package I installed, then remove it (At a future date) ? [20:27] After the system update today I can see the folders on my desktop but no side or top bar [20:27] vedrit: see in /var/log/apt what you did install [20:27] orzo88: So, probably gnome but not the taskbar or the panel. [20:27] I cant even launch the terminal, is there a keyboard shortcut? [20:28] ctrl +alt +t [20:28] orzo88: Does alt-f2 work in gnome? [20:28] vedrit: Yes. [20:28] There we go, thanks. I have the terminal now [20:28] I'm attempting to find the location an application is installed at [20:28] how do I find it? [20:28] vedrit: Harsh as we may have been, I don't suggest you go cold turkey, just make command line literacy your goal. [20:29] What should I type to see what i just installed in [20:29] newhite_: dpkg -L package [20:29] The update [20:29] I mainly want to know how to remove the environment for future knowledge, for when I am ready to go full command line [20:29] orzo88: I think you can find a log in /var/log - not sure which one, should be obvious. [20:29] I updated the repository by adding a deb file. Then I used sudo apt-get update [20:29] ok I'll look in the log [20:29] What do I type to show that? [20:30] Sorry, im a total unix scrub [20:30] jhutchins thanks, I'll try that first [20:30] vedrit: If you turn off gdm, and tell it not to start by default, you don't really need to remove it, but ... [20:30] !remove gnome [20:30] How do I connect to Ubuntu 12.04.x LTS over ssh with X11 forwarding? I just realized I've been trying to use gnome-session... but 12.04 uses Unity not gnome. [20:30] Dang, this is what I get for lurking in multiple channels, I forget which bot knows what. [20:30] ubottu: remove gnome? [20:30] jhutchins: I am only a bot, please don't think I'm intelligent :) [20:30] I see install commands for both gdm and ubuntu-desktop. Are they seperate, or is ubuntu-desktop reliant on gdm? [20:30] guys [20:31] how do i get a shell / terminal at the ubuntu installer ? [20:31] DrDamnit: ssh -X ? [20:31] vedrit: SLightly outdated, but generally true: To remove or purge GNOME 2.x: aptitude remove ~nlibgnome ~nlibbonobo2 ~nliborbit2 ~nlibgnomeui ~nlibgnomevfs2. Use 'purge' instead of 'remove' if that's what you want (ask me about ). [20:32] daftykins: yes. ssh -X works. I log in, and get a prompt. On previous versions of Ubuntu, you just typed gnome-session, and you could get the whole desktop. With Unity, gnome-session just gives a black screen. Presumably, because it uses Unity instead of gnome. [20:32] whats the difference between purge and remove? [20:32] crypticmofo: CTRL+ALT+t, probs [20:32] anyone ? [20:32] DrDamnit: oh, i have no idea why you'd want to do that [20:32] crypticmofo: or hit the ubuntu icon at top left and type 'terminal' [20:32] reisio: im at the intaller [20:33] crypticmofo: ctrl-alt-f1 or f2 [20:33] daftykins - let's assume I want to. How do I make it work? [20:33] sorry, no idea [20:33] crypticmofo: ah [20:33] crypticmofo: come back with f7 [20:33] Rythmbox is not playing some many mp3's [20:33] Oh, I see [20:33] Is there any way to roll back the update I just installed? [20:33] crypticmofo: you can probably kill the installer from what k1l_ said as well [20:33] how is fglrx support with ATI RV730/M96 [Mobility Radeon HD 4650/5165]? haven't been to ubuntu since 10.10 so i wonder if the prop drivers will work with this? [20:34] I'd probably purge them [20:34] It broke my desktop [20:34] reisio: that depends on what commands you start in that tty. [20:34] orzo88: Have you tried restarting? aptitude -f install? [20:34] he didnt tell if he is in a live system [20:34] Ill try that now [20:35] Hi folks, I have a problem with an installation today regarding the wifi connection. It simply does not detect wifi. I have checked the ip link stats, and the wlan0 is not listed there. It works however in the live session of the installer. Any help is appreciated [20:35] Aptitude isnt jnstalles [20:35] Installed* [20:35] use apt-get instead of aptitude [20:35] orzo88: apt-get -f install might work. [20:35] k1l_: hrmm? [20:36] reisio: switching to a tty doesnt kill the xserver or the installer [20:36] -f isnt a valid option it says [20:36] no I just meant he could probably kill the process of the installer, manually :) [20:36] if he so desired [20:36] orzo88: please pastebin the whole output [20:37] I cant, im on my phone irc client because I cant get to any programs other than whats on my desktop and the terminal [20:37] GoogleFu has failed me (combined with lack of knowledge in this area) After running updates sometimes my system reboots to a command line. I run 'startx' which normally fires up without loading gnome-panel (and who knows what else) I then just Ctrl+Alt+T for a terminal and 'sudo reboot' which normally fixed it... This time that doesn't I even loaded gnome-panel and used the GUI to reboot and shutdown. --- What's [20:37] the fix? [20:37] how can open multiple terminal using bash ( like xterm -hold -e ssh admin@remote "tail -f /var/log/file") but for multiple host? [20:38] And I managed to insatll that -f thing, now what? [20:38] hi, can someone help me with efibootmgr? it's not creating any boot sources. [20:38] subterfuge: dont use startx. start the dm like sudo lightdm start/stop/restart [20:38] subterfuge: Meet orzo88. He has the same problem. [20:38] Slugze: clusterssh [20:38] L [20:38] !details | strap [20:38] strap: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version .... When I try to do ..., I get the following output: ..., but I expected it to do ..." [20:38] k1l thanks [20:39] All this happened after the normal update today [20:39] orzo88: restart. [20:39] Alright, i am now [20:39] jhutchins: where is he with it? [20:39] subterfuge: take a look into the logs in /home/nick/.xsession-errors and the /var/log/dmesg or syslog to know what the problem is [20:39] reisio, that's what i'm using right now, but as i'm occasionally doing that on a station where i don't have root rights and where i can't install it:) [20:39] k1l: ok I'll check [20:40] thanks reisio .. i have a lpatop with fn keys so i had to ctrl+alt+fn +f2 f3 whatever [20:40] when i run this command 'efibootmgr -c --disk /dev/sda --part 1' to create a new boot number, it doesn't create a new boot number [20:40] Slugze: for loop? [20:40] crypticmofo: that's cheating :p [20:40] Slugze: You can install it into your home. [20:40] Still not fixed [20:40] i'll try running it again with -v to see if i get any more info [20:41] no for looking what's happening in real time on multiple remote [20:41] Rythmbox is not playing many mp3's , how can I debug to find the reason? [20:41] orzo88: was reading you messages and steel don't understand the ptroblem and what you've done? what the kind of ubuntu family do you use? what happened and where you not able to get? [20:41] Is it possoble to roll back the update or repair the system if I use the boot disk? [20:41] Slugze: sorry I meant you could use a for loop :) [20:41] Let me explain, im slow bc im typing on my phone [20:42] for a in foo bar baz; do xterm whatever @$a; done [20:42] reisio, kisses ** [20:42] subterfuge: He did an apt-get (or aptitude) -f install - don't know yet that it worked, but that it did something suggests it was needed. [20:42] only you'd need like, nohup xterm blah > /dev/null [20:42] strap: Why are you trying to add an entry manually? Why aren't you specifying a loader ( --loader)? [20:42] (did not tought about that , pff ) thanks [20:42] I use the default gnome in ubuntu 13.4. After I did the system update today I can see the folders directly on my desktop, but no gnome sidebar or top bar with the clock [20:42] subterfuge: No, didn't fix. [20:43] If I click on a folder I can see my files, but its a bit like Windows when explorer crashes [20:43] Thats the best a linux noob like me can explain it [20:44] orzo88: Those components have specific names, I just don't know what they are (I run kde/xfce). [20:44] orzo88: sounds like compiz/unity isn't running [20:44] Is there a way to rollback the update? [20:44] alas I don't know their names, either [20:44] check ls /usr/bin/*unity* /usr/bin/*compiz* [20:44] no, you wouldn't want to either [20:45] orzo88: sudo apt-get install dconf && dconf reset -f /org/compiz/ [20:45] you wouldn't want to at this point I dare say [20:45] strap: Does that efibootmgr command print any error messages? [20:45] jhutchins: I am going to go try a few things ... I am having to work from the affected system so it will be a bit but I will update you all if I find a fix... also if you all beet me to it please hang around for 10 min or so and let me know what works [20:45] Ill try that now tozen [20:45] orzo88: Can you get an xterm or Run Command box? [20:45] orzo88, try resetting your unity: http://www.webupd8.org/2012/10/how-to-reset-compiz-and-unity-in-ubuntu.html [20:45] Jordan_U: because during installation it's not adding one automatically, and because it slipped my mind. adding a loader still does nothing, though [20:45] and no, no error messages. [20:46] orzo88: kostkon's suggestion looks good. [20:46] Package dconf has no install canidate [20:46] orzo88, you can get into tty, by pressing ctrl+alt+f4. you go back to the desktop with ctrl+alt+f7 [20:46] So... I've got a server I've been asked to update that is still on natty (11.04). I'd like to get it updated to the latest LTS release but natty is old enough that isn't supported anymore. What are my options for updating? [20:46] Ill try kostkons thing now [20:46] jhutchins: unity in standart gnome?

Thank you zykotick9. [20:48] jhutchins: orzo88 said hes got standart gnome in use not unity ;) === dean|away is now known as dean [20:48] orzo88: Someone suggested running killall gnome-panel, or if that doesn't restart gnome, just run gnome-panel & [20:48] How do you look at the log file ? [20:49] which log file? [20:50] newhite_, cat or tail -f or less /var/log/logfilename -( say wyou want the system logfile , it would be /var/log/syslog . To see about every log on ubuntu, it's ls -l /var/log === Vampire0_ is now known as Vampire0 [20:50] Slugze thanks [20:51] newhite_, pay attention some soft place their log elsewhere , you'll have to check the soft conf to be sure [20:52] Ok, so I did the stuff on that page [20:52] Slugze my need is in reference to cassandra. the system.log is located in /var/log/cassandra/ [20:52] And when I tried to restart unity [20:52] Slugze I lucked out this time [20:52] I get a whole bunch of fatal NULL errors [20:52] Okay, I'm trying to get my second drive shared on my network, and while everything seems to be good on the server, I can't access it on any other computer, and the Ubuntu guide for Samaba isn't much help because I can't edit the smb.conf file [20:53] orzo88: just restart your pc [20:53] hi [20:53] hello sleepyrussian [20:53] all the video editing software i downloaded are crappy and crash [20:53] Restarting now [20:53] can you recoment a video editing software?

Also, I would like to install backtrack as well, will that make it even more difficult? [20:54] sleepyrussian: kak sam, brat? [20:54] tozen i am not russian === sleepyrussian is now known as sleepyotter [20:54] still didnt work [20:55] sleepyotter: avidemux [20:55] Whats weird is that at the login screen [20:55] I can see the top bar with the clock [20:55] But when I login it dissapears [20:55] Rhythmbox is not playing mp3 or adding them to the library, I have ubuntu restricted extras installed [20:56] jackarg: backtrack is dead, plus windows support is in ##windows [20:56] orzo88: well let me understand you. what do u use unity or gnome? [20:56] I use the gnome thats default with 13.04 [20:56] daftykins what is the new backtrack? plus i think people here are capable of helping me, it's a question of grub and dual boot [20:57] doubt they will though :) === Companion is now known as companion [20:57] orzo88: without side launcher, is it right? [20:57] how to instal chrome for ubuntu 11.04 ? [20:57] JN_: 11.04 isnt supported anymore. [20:57] !eol | JN_ [20:57] JN_: End-Of-Life is the time when security updates and support for an Ubuntu release stop, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases for more information. Looking to upgrade from an EOL release? See https://help.ubuntu.com/community/EOLUpgrades [20:57] jhutchine k1l : running "sudo lightdm' fired everything up just as it should have. Where would I add that to included it in start up [20:58] I usually have a bar on the left side of the screen thats sort of like a start menu and a top bar similar to whats in OSX [20:58] thx [20:58] I'm running a web site that's all perl .cgi scripts in /var/www/foo/cgi-bin, where they work fine. I'm trying to modify my apache config using Rewrite directives so that example.com/foo/bar directs to /var/www/foo/cgi-bin/bar.cgi [20:58] jackarg: Installing backtrack or whatever, see their support. Usually you install Windows first, then Ubuntu, the Ubuntu installer handles that. If you want to install WIndows second, you're pretty much on your own as Microsoft doesn't support it. [20:58] and nothing is working [20:58] any help? [20:58] orzo88: so thats means you have unity in use. ok [20:59] Well, normally anyway I guess [20:59] jackarg: You can try creating an ntfs partition and seeing if Windows will see that and install to it, but windows' only option might be to wipe out your ubuntu. [20:59] orzo88: did you tried unity --replace [20:59] ?? [20:59] !backtrack | jackarg [20:59] jackarg: There are some Ubuntu derivatives that we cannot provide support for due to repository and software changes. Please consult their websites for more information. Examples: gNewSense (support in #gnewsense), Linux Mint (see !mint), kali-linux (#kali-linux), CrunchBang (support in #crunchbang), BackTrack (support in #backtrack-linux) [20:59] JN_,,, Ubuntu Software Center [20:59] Yes, i get a bunch of text that ends with "segmentation fault" [21:00] Toph2: not for 11.04 anymore === fred_ is now known as Guest42931 [21:00] is there a channel for discussing ivdeo making in linux?

[21:01] buy a new pc? [21:01] jackarg: dualbooting tends to be best done by having Windows on first [21:01] Not even after rebooting [21:02] k1l: running sudo lightdm worked for me, how would I make that run on boot everytime? [21:02] jackarg: i dont see any ubuntu related question in this windows and backtrack szenario. please see their supports for further guideance [21:02] well what else we can try is manially remove compiz config file using rm -rf ~/.config/compiz-1/compizconfig/* [21:03] Rhythmbox is not playing mp3 or adding them to the library, I have ubuntu restricted extras installed [21:03] Ill try that now [21:03] subterfuge: lightdm (or gdm or kdm or or or) should be run automatically. see the logs what happens at the startup [21:03] orzo88: in case you didn't know, you can always get to a terminal by hitting Ctrl+Alt+F1 ( or F2-F6 ). Hitting Ctrl+Alt+F7 will bring you back to the GUI [21:03] did you determine if unity/compiz is even running yet? [21:03] k1l I have ubuntu and I want to install windows in dual boot that's all [21:04] I can open the terminal with the keyboard shortcut [21:04] And tozen, i did that, now what? [21:04] orzo88: logout -->>login [21:04] daftykins it was extremely hard to dual boot with windows 8 and I failed [21:04] anybody have any experience with mod_rewrite in apache? [21:04] duxb: #httpd [21:05] Is there a keyboard shortcut for logging out? [21:05] Or command [21:05] reisio: thanks, I was looking for #apache, and it had one person in it [21:05] orzo88: CTRL-ALT-Delete sometimes works. [21:05] Jordan_U: sorry, I was rebooting to confirm that I can't change anything [21:06] jackarg: Please pastebin the output of "lsb_release -a". [21:06] orzo88: Ctrl-D in a terminal/console [21:06] Did that and logged back in, no change [21:06] strap: Is your EFI System Partition mounted at /boot/efi/? [21:06] jackarg: so you're hoping putting 8 on after ubuntu will be easier? [21:06] orzo88: What did you want a logout command/shortcut for? Console? [21:07] orzo88: well let me think but im not sure i have some ideas more pal... [21:07] duxb, its #httpd [21:07] Would it be possible to install and switch to a different desktop enviro from the terminal? [21:07] k1l: if I past bin the output of .xsession-errors would you be able to take a look. It is a little over my head at this point [21:08] daftykins I'd just like to give it another try. I failed with the first option, but I really need windows. I have the licence for w8 so idk...hey I'm here for guidance if you say I can't do it I can't but that's all there is to it [21:08] hi [21:08] Jordan_U: that's what it says in my fstab [21:08] Jordan_U: "no LSB modules are available" [21:09] reisio, bazhang: I joined that channel, but when I try to chat there, it says "Cannot send to channel", any ideas?

I need help again. I'm trying to share my second drive through Samba. I've followed the guides, but I still can't access it on any other computer [21:17] woo got amd multi monitor to work! [21:18] vedrit try gigolo, it's a nice GUI [21:18] how do I stop ubuntu from "helping" me by mounting drives -- especially when they are already mounted [21:18] this is a terrible "feature" ... I feel 12.04.2 is way way worse than 8.04 [21:19] uhelp: No, this is a terrible default. Features are still there as before, and you can turn them on or off. [21:19] uhelp: Possibly a bug, rather, since mounting a drive that's already mounted is not a desired default. [21:19] MonkeyDust: The hosting machine is Ubuntu, all other computers are Windows [21:19] gry: how do I turn this off -- thank you [21:19] k1l: any harm in running 'sudo dpkg-reconfigure lightdm' [21:20] uhelp: What triggers the automount in your case? [21:20] subterfuge: no [21:20] gry: the auto-mount appears to be triggered after a period of time but I am not sure [21:20] it happened twice [21:20] uhelp: See here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Mount/USB#Configuring_Automounting [21:21] ... if that's your case... if not USB, please specify so. [21:21] gry: going to your link [21:21] gry: it is usb (usb-3 if it matters and I on on a Lenovo W530) [21:21] Ok, I think it should be useful. [21:21] gry: I mount the drive with something like sudo mount /dev/sdx /mount_here [21:22] Strange. Would guess the system either have automount on, and you find yourself too late, or has it off (in which case it's a non-issue). [21:22] gry: later it mounts the (already mounted) drive in some place like /media/f46b347f-9167-4456-a6eb-60001720bdfa [21:24] strap: Yes, make sure that /boot/efi/ is mounted properly in the chroot though, as well as bind mounting /dev/ /proc/ and /sys/ (or use grub-install's --boot-directory option outside of the chroot). [21:25] Jordan_U: alright well i did that and this is the output: http://paste.ubuntu.com/6008011/ [21:25] setting up dual monitors in ubuntu with AMD/ATI, when I go to fullscreen in an application using alt-enter (in dosbox for example) the monitors become mirrored, I really just want to fullscreen to go to one monitor. Can anyone offer a solution or point me to the proper chatroom? [21:29] jfactor: the old way, would be to use a NULL value in your xorg.conf... it's been too long since i've done it, so no real details to share. but with the NULL, it will auto-disable 1 monitor when a program requests a specific resolution. [21:30] ? [21:30] ping [21:30] zykotick9:thanks that might be a temporary solution but my hope was that I could still use the secondary monitor at the same time [21:30] I formated a 1tb to ntfs that worked. Then I tried ext4 and it's saying is apparently in use by the system [21:31] I can format it to NTFS though fine [21:31] jfactor: allowing the mouse to travel to both monitors (in some games) may NOT be what you really want... but good luck! [21:31] styles: make sure it's unmounted first >.> [21:31] bluefox83, it's not mounted lol [21:32] zykotick9: thanks [21:32] make sure that fsck or something isn't still running in the background, checking the drive for errors [21:33] bluefox83: fsck runs on unmounted fs only. [21:33] bluefox83: Otherwise, it cant fix errors, when the fs is mounted read-write.

[21:33] bekks: that's why styles needs to check to make sure it's not running... [21:34] !java | newhite_ [21:34] newhite_: To just use java you need a "Java Runtime Environment" (JRE) and/or a browser plugin. If that is not sufficient you will need a "Java Development Kit" (JDK) aka "Software Development Kit" (SDK). Please see https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Java about how to install one of three current implementations. [21:34] bluefox83, it's not [21:34] well something is using it... [21:34] I don't think so [21:35] I can format to NTFS it doesn't error out like that [21:35] But on EXT2-3-4/s it does [21:35] what is that command...i think it's like lsof -l | grep /dev/drive [21:35] ubottu thanks. I need the JDK.

[21:37] eh, i'm using rsync across my network. it's slow but it's getting the job done [21:37] both are internal drives [21:37] in this case [21:37] if I install first then try and format the drives, should it be ok? [21:38] it will format the one you're installing to [21:38] but any other drives/partitions wont [21:38] you'd still need to format them if that's what you want to do [21:38] bluefox83, yeah but I'm not really able to format it === jan1337zZz is now known as jan1337z [21:39] k1l: no joy with that... has anyone else fixed this yet while I was gone [21:39] I guess not w/ a live cd? === jan1337z is now known as Jan [21:39] eh, you'll be able to...i think you likely just need to restart [21:39] livecds can be wierd sometimes [21:39] Tried that alraedy [21:39] already* === Jan is now known as Guest72575 [21:39] really?

[21:40] styles: i use a live CD and do a smart test [21:40] my problem is that i keep having issues with bad sectors...on a very large drive (1tb WD drive) [21:41] I'll run that now holstein [21:41] bluefox83, I have a 1tb wd as well [21:41] err 2 [21:41] both are giving me massive issues on ubuntu [21:41] hrm [21:41] Daemon is inhibited [21:41] i wonder if there wasn't a recent update in the kernels or something that's causing it? [21:42] styles: what daemon? [21:42] Yeah smart check isn't really working [21:42] styles: ? [21:42] Well it runs really fast [21:42] styles: i do a test, and the test takes over an hour [21:42] yeah takes 30 seconds lol [21:42] and most things are N/A [21:42] styles: then, do the long test, from a live CD [21:43] styles: i diagnostic live CD [21:43] You mean a SMART self-test extended right?

[21:48] holstein, yeah I'm like spinning in circles not really knowing where to go from here [21:48] styles: try saying what you are trying to do [21:49] My last attempt was format it to NTFS (it will do this), then I restart GParted and it's marked as not working [21:49] And it never mounts [21:49] why ntfs? [21:49] hi all, I have a question if you can help, can the menus be put back on the windows from the task-bar without having to perform a 3rd party hack? cheers [21:49] i woudnt ask windows to make me an ext formatted drive [21:49] Because EXT2-3-4 aren't even an option. It says it's busy [21:49] I wouldn't ask it to do anything :D [21:49] I'm on a live cd [21:50] ubuntu live cd 12.04 [21:50] reisio: me either :p [21:50] stripe: I think so [21:50] styles: they *are* an option [21:50] styles: elaborate as to what you are trying to do and why [21:50] thanks reisio [21:50] styles: It might be a good idea to power off and check the cabling, re-seat it. [21:51] jhutchins, I can.. but it works fine in my windows partition [21:51] is it a new drive? [21:51] or, replace the cables if you have spares [21:51] Uh I guess? I mean few months [21:51] stripe: check the tweak tool [21:51] Never worked under ubuntu [21:51] jhutchins: your nick reminds me of someoen i am related to >.> [21:51] styles: what never worked where? [21:51] I have two drives, both NTFS (built in windows) tried to initially mount them using ntfs-3g [21:51] *someone [21:51] The drives never worked under Ubuntu [21:51] styles: ntfs doesnt 'auto mount" with write privs [21:51] Right. I couldn't even get them to mount as read only [21:51] styles: i use whatever i want where ever i want, and it works as i make it work [21:52] styles: try now, and report the errors.. try from the command line and give the *exact* errors [21:52] styles: or, try another format.. or other cables. or other machine.. or other live CD. or other operating system [21:52] I'm mounting nfs from my /etc/fstab. The mount directory is owned by root after the drive is mounted. How can I make it owned by my user? [21:52] styles: try not sitting still, and talking about what is not happening.. [21:52] styles windows 8 by any chance? [21:53] partition table? [21:53] styles: make something happen.. if you want ntfs format, format it ntsf and mount and share errors [21:53] http://privatepaste.com/d5762d2c0e [21:53] that's the fdisk output [21:54] styles: the devices dosnt have a valid partition table.. did you address that? [21:55] styles: did you "fix" the partition table? in the menu? in gparted? [21:56] Trying right now, but not exactly working. I've removed all the partitions from the drive. Applied it. So I have 1tb unallocated. [21:57] Now if I attempt to allocate it to new partition it will error out. "/dev/sdc1 is apparently in use by the system; will not make a filesystem here!" [21:57] This was EXT4 if I try NTFS it will work, BUT it wont mount. [21:58] styles: in gparted, i select "device" - "create a partition table" [21:58] styles: i "fix" that.. then, i make whatever partition i want, and format. then i mount [21:59] if i wanted an ntfs partition, and i had windows around, i would let windows do it [21:59] miebster_atwork_: IF, your user IDs are the same on client/server - then just change it on the server. most likely, you'll probably just want to give the Other group r/w. [22:00] hi, I've been trying to find a solution ever since I installed Ubuntu 2 weeks ago - the alert sound when a program triggers a bell does not work. it works in the sound settings, but when a program triggers a bell, nothing happens... [22:00] using Ubuntu 13.04 [22:00] Hi. If I have a file "brmfcfaxcups-1.0.0-1.i386.deb" and I want to see if that file has been installed, how do I check? I do not know the name of the package that this *.deb file represents (otherwise I could do "apt-cache policy "); I guess I need to somehow find the package name from this .deb file and then search for this package? [22:01] holstein, thank you and bluefox83 I'm going to restart and try this [22:01] my guess would be it's called brmfcfaxcups [22:01] kwtm: i might just look in a package manager like synaptic [22:02] holstein: What does that mean, "look in"? Would synaptic be able to tell me the name of a package of a file I separately downloaded, not from a standardf repository? [22:02] nyuszika7h: Good guess; I would guess the same. How would I verify this? [22:02] not sure, tried `apt-cache policy brmfcfaxcups`? [22:03] kwtm: i would open synaptic and search and see if the package is installed [22:03] nyuszika7h: Yes, tried. [22:03] holstein: Search for what package? I am trying to determine the package name: as I said: " I do not know the name of the package that this *.deb file represents (otherwise I could do "apt-cache policy ")" [22:03] !info apt-file [22:03] apt-file (source: apt-file): search for files within Debian packages (command-line interface). In component universe, is optional. Version 2.5.1ubuntu1 (raring), package size 26 kB, installed size 136 kB [22:03] kwtm: synaptic would be able to see a *.deb file that ws installed.. [22:03] kwtm: "dpkg -c brmfcfaxcups-1.0.0-1.i386.deb" should list the contents... might give come clues. [22:04] Dr_Willis: Thank you, will try. [22:04] or dpkg -I [22:04] if you used the package manager tools to install the .deb holstein yes. [22:04] zykotick9: Thanks. [22:04] `dpkg -I brmfcfaxcups-1.0.0-1.i386.deb`, more specifically [22:04] zykotick9: I think you misunderstood [22:04] Dr_Willis: i shouldnt assume.. [22:04] zykotick9: the server lets me write to it, but on my client I have to type "sudo touch foo" to write to it, because on my client it shows up as "root" owned once its mounted === lwbailey is now known as lwbailey-afk [22:06] miebster_atwork_: ahhh, even after re-reading your question... i still have the same answer??? right, so on the server side, change the permission to allow OTHER to read/write (i go to great lengths to be sure my main user is 1000 on all systems, to avoid this problem with NFS) [22:06] Why is it so damn hard to grab the edge of the terminal window for a resize, especially the right side where the scrollbar thumb always appears out of nowhere at the worst time? [22:06] can anyone recommend a way to customize grub... ? ? [22:06] zykotick9: I have nothing to do with the server side, again you are mis understanding me [22:06] dougl: in what way? [22:06] miebster_atwork_: ok sorry, i can't help you. good luck. [22:07] !grub | dougl i suggest leaving it alone [22:07] Vinnie_win: you can disable the scrollbar thing :) [22:07] dougl i suggest leaving it alone: 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 [22:07] Thanks all. Able to list .deb file contents but still not able to find the official name of the package that would be installed once I install the .deb file, but I've got enough to keep me going. Will continue to check. Thx! [22:07] zykotick9: I have a directory on my system /opt/foobar ,it is owned by my user account user1, when the nfs is mounted, the directory says its owned by root, when the mount happens, the owner of the dir changes [22:07] reisio, just did a distupgrade after installing a new drive with windows on it and I guess there was a kernel in the update adn when grub went auto learning it found it and configd so I can dual boot but the menu looks a little hideous... [22:07] dougl, The boot splash? [22:07] err grub 2 [22:07] reisio: Is there a way to just always have the scrollbar like Windows / Mac? And how do I make the border thicker? it seems like you have to land on exactly 1 pixel to get a resize cursor. [22:08] grub menu that is [22:08] wilee-nilee, that would be nice [22:08] miebster_atwork_: "i understand", but i still can't help you. good luck (don't include my nic in future, hopefully someone else has an answer for you) [22:08] dougl, There was a thread on the ubuntu forums and if you look on the web there is stuff, be careful is all and know how to be able to purge and reinstall grub. [22:09] Can somsone show me an fstab entry that mounts an NFS share as read/write and leaves the owner of the mount point as the user (and doesn't change it to root?) surely this can't be a rare use case? [22:09] dougl: you can do a lot with it, including just hiding it if you want [22:09] dougl, You can easily change the background [22:09] wilee-nilee, now that ypou mention it... why fix it if it aint broken... it is not even up there for a munute [22:09] Vinnie_win: right it's intended for you to use the pop out thing by default [22:10] dougl, I just used a cool background, but yeah I would agree. [22:10] I thot the background would have been easy... [22:10] Vinnie_win: http://www.webupd8.org/2011/04/how-to-disable-overlay-scrollbars-in.html :) [22:10] I have hal the computer eye in mine from 2001 space odessey [22:10] Vinnie_win: and in general if you want a more Windows-like experience, you might want to switch from Unity to Xfce, or KDE, or GNOME 3 with some heavy modification [22:10] nice.... [22:12] Hi [22:12] Is Ubuntu Touch just glorified Android? [22:12] Or is it it's own OS? [22:12] reisio: I'd like to mess with the Ubuntu installation as little as possible to be honest [22:13] !touch | alfonsojon [22:13] alfonsojon: Information about the Ubuntu Touch platform for Phone and Tablet is available here https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch support and discussion in #ubuntu-touch [22:13] alfonsojon: its not android [22:13] I know but it seems to use components from it [22:13] well then again, this enables more devices [22:13] nevermind [22:13] alfonsojon: like, the linux kernel? [22:13] I heard it uses SurfaceFlinger [22:13] instead of mir [22:14] The reason is so that proprietary Android device GPU drivers work on it [22:14] I'm not sure if this is true though [22:14] ive heard it has its own challen for discussion of the Touch OS. ;) [22:14] channel [22:14] alfonsojon: i would have to refer to the resources i linked for you [22:14] I'm heading over to #ubuntu-touch [22:14] didn't realise it had its own channel already [22:15] and ill belive it when i actually see the devices out. ;) but im a a bit of a sckeptic with n ew hardware these days [22:15] Where do I put/modify permission to use USB devices? It can't find my USB scanner. With an earlier version of Ubuntu I used to be able to modify a file called /etc/udev/rules.d/40-basic-permissions.rules but that file no longer exists. Is it moved to a different place? (Currently using 12.04 LTS) [22:16] kwtm2: you shouldnt need to.. try just using a scanning application [22:16] holstein: Tried. Error: not detected. What now? [22:18] kwtm2: could be a few things.. i would load the distro that was working with the scanner live (assuming that is a possibility.. and see that the device is not broken. i would then run "lsusb" in the current setup, and see that the device is there [22:18] kwtm2: in a terminal, if you type "groups" are you in the scanner group? [dangerous, but if you use gksudo with your scanner application, does it find the scanner?] [22:18] i would then, take that line to a search engine and do "scanner version ubuntu version" and see if anything helpful comes up.. or you can ask here [22:18] Alternately, plugdev group. [22:20] why ntp no work? https://gist.github.com/crankharder/bdac1d98888ccb87bb4b [22:20] hello; is it possible to mount a usb drive while you're booted into the liveCD, and if so how would you go about it...? [22:20] crankharder: a time server? [22:20] mounting storage is still a mystery to me :\ i'm not sure what the process is that you're supposed to take to do it [22:20] diphtherial, plug it in it should just mount [22:21] crankharder: Wrong syntax. Correct syntax: sudo ntpdate pool.ntp.org [22:21] ah, wait, i think he's just at the root recovery prompt... [22:21] Anyone know a good way to identify songs?

[22:22] holstein, you listen it to a movie [22:22] does anyone else happen to have a track pad thats a little too liberal in its movement? [22:22] zykotick9: Yeah, I know that.

Why not ask your next question (the real one) and find out? See also !details, !gq, and !poll. [22:22] bekks: ok, just checkin' ;) [22:22] eden_: you want to know the music from a movie? i would search that online [22:22] zykotick9: ;) [22:22] I know im hitting spaces and sometimes my cursor leaps to wholly different places OTHER than its intended location ... Is there a solution for this? [22:23] its kind of an annoyance ... and in code can be really detrimental [22:23] delinquentme: disable the trackpad in the bios [22:23] holstein, if you are using android then you should know what shazam or soundhound is i want to be able to identift a song title [22:23] delinquentme: most laptops have a dedicated trackpad disable toggle [22:23] delinquentme: Fn + someNumberKey [22:24] or space bar [22:24] otherwise you can make one using xinput [22:24] eden_, This is ubuntu not android it has no relevance here. [22:24] eden_: this is the ubuntu support channel.. i would just use shazam it you want.. or search online for the application you are seeking.. maybe a webapp [22:24] Is there a way to send a process to another user? [22:24] eden_: there are websites for that [22:24] the mobile apps tend to be glorified frontends to them [22:24] reisio, i can't find anything that works for me can you suggest anything? [22:24] except I use the track pad moondog reisio [22:24] Monotoko: to another term, yes [22:25] delinquentme: except what? [22:25] delinquentme: well there's your problem! [22:25] reisio: How would you send a process to another terminal? [22:25] j/k [22:25] eden_: well the mobile apps don't work so wonderfully IME, either [22:25] The ideal solution would be something that tunes down the sensitivity to a given threshold [22:25] bekks: reptyr [22:25] moondog, OIC nao! [22:25] reisio: ah, thx [22:25] reisio: I have an irssi session open in screen [22:25] I was wondering if it was possible to bounce it to another user without disconnecting [22:25] Monotoko: probably, with reptyr [22:26] eden_: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3994221/can-you-suggest-web-api-for-music-identification-service-like-shazam [22:28] where could I look for some win 7 help or anyone who has used/uses it [22:28] basant: ##windows [22:28] basant: help with... using Windows? === luigi is now known as Guest57151 [22:29] ciao [22:29] hey, is /mnt generally read-only if you're trying to modify it from the recovery root shell? [22:30] Hi. Is there a page that explains how to get the RADEON xorg driver to make my fan go quiet? The 5 years I have used fglrx I have not heard the fan, but now with radeon in 13.04 it is so loud it is unbearable [22:30] a friend of mine is getting fouled up at that point, told that the filesystem is read only [22:30] diphtherial: it might default to read only, I don't know [22:30] diphtherial: if your in recovery mode, i believe the file system is read only [22:30] diphtherial: The entire filesystem is read-only then. [22:30] diphtherial: you can remount it as read-write if so [22:30] ah, right, i'd like to mount it read-write, then... [22:31] diphtherial: all of / is read only from a recovery shell. in order to let you fsck it easially [22:31] It seems I broke ubuntu and I can't find any solution on the docs, anyone want to try to help for a bit? [22:31] bbl - work time fors me. [22:31] !details | mnmt [22:31] mnmt: Please give us full details. For example: "I have a problem with ..., I'm running Ubuntu version ....

I figured that if I write the simple text file in a shared folder ( via vbox ) and then try to use a printing program to kee monitoring the folder and print anything new I can get it to work but alas !!!. The program I got --- http://www.lerup.com/printfile/ does not even print a simple txt file. T [22:31] he file appears unformatted via notepad and formattted via wordpad [22:32] basant: mmm, you can probably get the printer working, but I'd ask #vbox about it [22:32] or indeed, #windows [22:32] reisio: thanks :) [22:32] by the way, this is the same dude whose party i declined; i saw your memo about that, took me a while to figure it out [22:32] heheh [22:33] yeah I figured [22:33] Sure, When I try to boot into Ubuntu 12.04 LTS (using grub) all that appears is a single blinking underscore in the top left. A command line login appears for a second before returning to the state before. No key press causes any reaction except for the power off, the following message appears: [22:33] mnmt, Tell the channel whats up if anyones knows they will probably answer you want the option of anyones help. [22:33] we had a bit of a talk about my social anxiety, which was fun :x i think he forgave me [22:33] acpid: exiting [22:33] social anxiety isn't worth it, I know from experience :) [22:33] Checking for running unattended-upgrades [22:33] speech-dispatcher disabled [22:34] speech-dispatcher disabled: edit /etc/default/speech-dispatcher [22:34] mnmt, Did it ever run correctly, do you have proprietary graphic drivers installed? [22:35] hi === sergio_ is now known as Guest95841 [22:35] Its worked before, this happened when I used the update manager, chose restart to install updates, accidently chose windows 7 at grub so at windows login screen pressed restart and chose ubuntu at grub, which lead to this problem [22:35] hi Guest95841 [22:37] Rhythmbox is not playing mp3 or adding them to the library, I have ubuntu restricted extras installed [22:37] can anyone help me with reapairing a damages uefi boot? I tryed installed a dual boot win8 and ubuntu 13.04 in a ultrabook [22:37] xkernel: how many have you tried? [22:37] reisio, tried what? [22:38] mnmt, Use nicks, and answer questions. [22:38] I asked two questions [22:39] How do I use nicks. As for drivers, I had changed to nvidea 320 experimental, but that was at least 4 succesful logins ago [22:39] !tab | mnmt [22:39] mnmt: You can use your key for autocompletion of nicknames in IRC, as well as for completion of filenames and programs on the command line. [22:39] wilee-nilee, So like this? [22:40] mnmt, If you use the drivers from nvidia they will not follow kernel upgrades, you want the ones in the repos. Yeah perfect on the nick. ;) [22:41] wilee-nilee, Silly steam, telling me to change graphic driver. So How do I roll back update/change driver? [22:41] mnmt, YOu can use what drivers you want but want to be informed of the consequences is all. ;) [22:41] wilee-nilee, Within windows :/ [22:42] mnmt, In ubuntu windows drivers in windows have no relevance [22:42] hey, i was wondering how to change it so that the directories and files are color coded when i ls. i uncommented the lines in .bashrc relating to directory colors but nothing changed, even after restarting the terminal. any ideas? [22:42] hey guys, why do i have to create a Ubuntu One account to get into my ubuntuforums.com account? [22:42] i'm sick of making useless accounts [22:43] hi! [22:43] phillyj, I saw that ask them. [22:43] phillyj, There is a #ubuntuforums channel [22:43] wilee-nilee, Sorry, am slightly confused. So by updating kernal with the nvidea drivers meant that ubuntu won't launch correctly. So can I fix it? [22:43] ok [22:44] mnmt, Yoiur setup in windows will not affect ubuntu if you have a partitioned install, is this a wubi? [22:44] your* [22:44] wilee-nilee, For all I know, a file browser in windows could edit a config to fix it. I know nothing though :P [22:44] wilee-nilee, Thats what I meant anyway. They are dual boot partitioned [22:45] mnmt, Separate OS, nothing related except the mbr [22:45] wilee-nilee, Ok [22:47] wilee-nilee, Can it be fixed? Without wiping it? [22:47] mnmt, All my comments except confirming your windows setup in relation to ubuntu are ubuntu relevance, I.E. the nvidia drivers if that was what you were referencing [22:48] i'm not able to sync my samsung s3 using rhythbox neither clementine [22:48] mnmt, fix what, you have mixed windows in with this conversation it is difficult to tell exactly what you have done in ubuntu. [22:49] #ubuntu-de [22:49] mnmt, If you need to remove the drivers and add the repos in ubuntu the channel is better there I have never had to load a graphic driver. [22:50] repos driver* [22:50] wilee-nilee, When I try to boot into ubuntu, there is bascily just a black screen with a blinking underscore [22:50] mnmt, Right and have you added the drivers from other than ther ubuntu repos? [22:50] wilee-nilee, I can't currently use ubuntu [22:50] the* [22:51] wilee-nilee, It seems I had [22:51] wilee-nilee, Though I am not sure, the driver was there ready to "activate" [22:51] Can somebody please help me? [22:51] mnmt, Cool have the channel direct you on removing them and installing the ones from the repos, I'm just not up on that. [22:51] whats the matter ryan? [22:52] I just got Ubuntu again, how do I get Gnome 2 back? [22:52] mnmt, Ah a restricted driver add from software sources? [22:52] ryan__, The closest is the fallback gnome 2 is not available. [22:53] or the cinnamon desktop avaolable in 13.04 is kinda like it [22:53] but I remember in Ubuntu 12.04 I had the classic Ubuntu desktop - how would I get it? I can't stand Unity. [22:54] !notunity | ryan__ [22:54] ryan__: Ubuntu 11.10 and higher use the !Unity desktop environment by default. To use GNOME Shell instead, install the "gnome-shell" package and investigate "gnome-tweak-tool". For GNOME Fallback mode, which is similar to GNOME 2, install "gnome-panel". Both packages will place entries in the Sessions dropdown. [22:54] ryan__, classice is the fallback and use nicks here. [22:54] Wait what? three people said something at once and I'm confused xD [22:55] Can anyone help me with Samba? I've read and followed https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Samba/SambaServerGuide#Ubuntu_Server and https://help.ubuntu.com/10.04/serverguide/samba-fileserver.html but I still can't get my drive to be accessible from my Windows machine [22:56] Right so having chatted to wilee-nilee, anyone here know how I can remove a nvidea ubuntu driver and replace it with propriatary, seems a kernal update now stops me being able to lauch ubuntu properly [22:56] Wait, I think I was looking through the wrong uide [22:56] ryan__, Two people one was a bot trigger making it seem like 3, all saying the same. [22:57] What's the whole '!nountiy' thing about [22:58] mnmt, The term proprietary references to nvidia downloads, that is what you don;t want for correct syntax here. Although the one not working might have that term used so it is a bit complex in the word usage. [22:59] ryan__, YOu want it sounds like the classic desktop, now called the fallback it comes with the gnome-shell install, it is just a psuedo gnome 2 desktop [23:00] ryan__, I believe it the fallback can be installed by itself, not sure the commands. [23:00] wilee-nilee: ahhh, does fallback really come with the gnome-shell package? I'd find that surprising. [23:00] zykotick9, I thought it did, I have not messed with it and now it is part of some release again. [23:01] saucy I think [23:01] wilee-nilee: well, according to !notunity - it says install "gnome-panel"??? [23:02] zykotick9, hold on let me logout I have the shell in 13.04 [23:03] hey.. i'm absolute beginner with any linux. i installed ubuntu 12.04.2 with virtual box, but when I start I only get a login prompt in a console. does someone have a clue what I'm doing wrong? :/ [23:04] zykotick9, I think it is included with the shell it is in my 13.04 the panel install is just the fallback install I believe [23:05] wilee-nilee: ok, i guess that make some sense ;) [23:05] zykotick9, In general gnome and ubuntu seem to be trying to keep those that can't adapt happy, those pooooooor folk, lol. ;) [23:05] paul_beginner: did you install the server version? what was the ISO called that you used to install? [23:06] let me check [23:06] What's the dpkg option to dump a list of installed software? [23:06] ubuntu-12.04.2-desktop-i386 from the ubuntu.com [23:07] paul_beginner: that's the regular, desktop ISO. don't know why you are getting a console only? best of luck - someone else might have some suggestions. [23:07] thank you anyways.. maybe I redo the process. its just 5 minutes :) [23:08] wilee-nilee: i was one of those "pooooor" folk - so i left both U & Gnome... reverted to my earlier WM only days ;) [23:09] Anyone know how to uninstall a propriatary nvidea driver and go back to the default using the emergency command line? [23:09] zykotick9, I use unity for a year or two then switched to the shell, but basically use the cairo dock and synapse to find or launch stuff. [23:10] I use W8 often lately, and I started my computer use with open source [23:10] mnmt: maybe this will help you http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1432857 [23:11] :O @ a MS OS? .. :P and you get on me for that minty OS [23:11] :P [23:11] paul_beginner, Thanks will try this out.
